Chapter 116 Landing Day 3 2

The loudspeakers in the San Francisco neighborhood repeatedly played the American national anthem in order to boost morale, but as for the news of the front-line fighting, the Americans did not report it at all. At 6 o'clock, the sound of artillery and heavy gunfire and explosions were heard again in the direction of the pier. Soon warplanes appeared in the sky in the direction of the pier, and the explosion became more violent. The Lin family's compound in Chinatown was restless again, and the family began to be in surprise again. In order to observe, Li Zhong instructed Lin Zhiqiang to remove a few tiles in the ridge of the main house, facing the direction of the pier, and set up wooden ladders up and down the canopy and the ground.

Now. Lin Zhong held a telescope that had been treasured for many years in his hand and observed in the direction of the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, Lin Zhiqiang was impatient next to him, but he didn't dare to say that he would let him look at the telescope for a while. "Big brother, how is it, can you see the war clearly?" The two younger sisters kept clamoring below, but Lin Zhong didn't let them go up, so they were in a hurry below, so they had to keep inquiring. "Sister, don't worry, you two, I'll go down and tell you later." "Virtuous nephew, let's see, whether the imperial army has hit the dock water tower area."

Lin Zhong was allowed to take the binoculars and immediately check them, and for a long time, Chen Zhiqiang was just enjoying himself, and he had already put aside his uncle's words. Suddenly, Lin Zhong stretched out his hand and grabbed the binoculars and said, "I'll ask you what to say, and I'll look at it myself." "Yes uncle, the Imperial army has hit the Water Tower District!" Alas, this speed is too slow, when will it be able to hit the city," Lin Zhong sighed. "Uncle, you see that the U.S. military is wounded more and more, and it is estimated that it is about to enter the city." Speaking of wounded soldiers, Lin Zhong's face darkened.

Chen Zhiqiang understood his uncle's thoughts and said, "Uncle, I'll sneak out of Lu to see my sister's situation!" "No, you can't. White people are crazy now, you have a few heads. "At this time, a fighter plane flew over, turned around and flew away." The fighter must have finished dropping bombs. Come here and show off. Uncle, the empire can even make such a sharp weapon, what will become of my hometown, I really want to go back and see. "I was only ten years old when I came out with your grandfather, I don't know if your grandmother is still there, and there are still your two aunts at home, I don't know how they are doing." The memories of my hometown have blurred. "Said a distant homeland. Lin Zhong showed a trace of nostalgia on his face.

A clinic in Chinatown, the yard is full of wounded people, and most of the people who come here are lightly injured. The U.S. military has a strict rule. As long as they are wounded in battle, they will be sent off the line of fire, and even if they are wounded in the arm, they will be sent down, which is impossible to happen in the imperial army. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the large number of wounded soldiers in the US army. And not many American soldiers died directly in battle. Americans care about life very much. Therefore, their battlefield rescue measures are very complete. At present, there are 30,000 US troops in the dock area, and the combat attrition has reached 8,000, and the fighting is still ongoing. At present, the seriously injured US soldiers are quickly transported to the rear by train.

The U.S. soldiers in the courtyard were humming and ugly. At this moment, Lin Yazhi was lying under a lesson tree in confusion. She slept only two hours last night, and there were too many wounded. There are only a few surgeons in the clinic, and they all need to be sterilized and bandaged by nurses before and after surgery, so the nurses are tired and dark. Lin Yazhi learned simple nursing knowledge in school. As a result, she quickly became a nurse. At first, she was disgusted with these American GIs, but later she developed a trace of sympathy. Maybe it's a woman's nature.

Suddenly, there was a noise, and another group of wounded soldiers was transported. A self-defense army man shouted loudly, and Lin Yazhi quickly came to his senses. The stretchers were all carried with wounded legs, and many American soldiers who were supporting each other poured in. Lin Yazhi and several nurses are responsible for cleaning and disinfecting the wounds of the incoming injuries, and then let the doctor perform the operation, which can save time. On a stretcher lies a black soldier with helplessness and fear in his eyes, signaling that he is returning from the brink of death.

Lin Yazhi kindly told him not to be afraid, and then checked the injury. The bullet hit the thigh and injured the bone, and although the bullet was not very traumatic, the thigh was already swollen. Lin Yazhi comforted while wiping the wound and disinfecting it. Suddenly, the black soldier grabbed Lin Yazhi's hand and hurriedly said: "Is my leg crippled, am I unable to stand up!" Lin Yazhi smiled and said, "Your leg won't be crippled, I promise you!" The black soldier stabilized and nodded gratefully.

After dealing with this batch of soldiers, everyone was tired and staggered. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and each person was given a piece of bread and a glass of milk. Lin Yazhi drank the milk and fell asleep without waiting for the bread. Soon another group of wounded soldiers arrived, and they were loudly driven into the intense treatment. At this moment, Lin Yazhi is an angel in white, and there seems to be a great distance from race and war, with a tragic battle on one side and a life-saving wound on the other, forming a huge contrast between the two.

Gao Xiang landed on deck, and he climbed out of the cockpit, his body staggering from extreme fatigue. Walk to the table on the side, pick up the tea bowl and drink it all. After the battleship was filled with fuel and bombs, Gao Xiang got up to board the plane. At this time, an officer ran over and shouted, "Captain Gao, the captain told you to go to the control tower." Gao Xiang ordered a reserve pilot to set off and walk towards the control tower with his legs raised. The captain who entered the command cabin smiled and said, "Captain Gao, you have flown 5 batches, see how you are in the state and you must rest." Don't try to negotiate conditions with me, it's an order. ”

"Captain, the battle ahead is hot, how do you let me rest?" "The headquarters has given an order to implement air support with a combat detachment, and you, as the captain of the group, have the responsibility of commanding the operation, and you can command the combat detachment to attack." Gao Xiang leaned back in his chair helplessly, and soon fell asleep in a daze. The captain lovingly draped the blanket on Gao Xiang's body, and after a few days of fierce battles, he was obviously emaciated, and his face was slightly pale. A fighter plane landed on the ship, and the huge roar was deafening. Gao Xiang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Captain, why did I fall asleep!" Without waiting for the captain to answer, Gao Xiang ran out of the city quickly.

The fighter pilot climbed off the plane, Gao Xiang briefly understood the battlefield situation, and then whispered. Soon, the fighter plane flew into the sky again, and Gao Xiang watched his comrades go to the sky, and his heart was particularly itchy. The US military's ground air defense weapons did play a certain role, and some of the fighters supporting the operation did not return, which made Gao Xiang feel very uncomfortable. In the past, I flew a fighter plane to attack, and I couldn't realize that the familiar face couldn't come back. And on the deck to greet and see off their comrades. I really felt the taste of losing my comrades.

In the afternoon, Hu Biao's division headquarters entered the No. 22 pier area on the north side, and as the landing area expanded. Two brigades of the 2nd Division took over the attack on the Eastern Front. Hu Biao's 1st Brigade suffered heavy casualties and withdrew to rest, the 2nd Brigade was very tired and temporarily used as a reserve, and Hu Biao personally commanded the fully equipped 3rd Brigade to launch a strong attack in the north. In the division headquarters, Hu Biao was answering the phone: "???, you said that there is a regiment of American troops in the freight yard of Pier 23, do you want to eat it in one go?" ”“??? That's right. The right flank is completely exposed, just cut off the contact with the US military, okay I agree with your plan. ”

Hu Biao put down the phone and said to the chief of staff: "Get in touch with the naval artillery immediately." Let them focus on the right flank of Pier 23, and then extend the artillery fire to the northeast to ensure the passage of our interspersed troops. Hu Biao picked up the phone and reported to the military department that how to eliminate the vitality of the US military must be approved by the military department. Zhuang Lei, the military headquarters, received a call from Hu Biao. It is believed that this move can effectively eliminate the vitality of the US military. He not only agreed to Hu Biao's battle plan, but also ordered the 2nd Division, which was attacking eastward, to also come up with a new battle plan. In addition, Zhuang Lei issued a supplementary order, not to have too much appetite, even if it is to eliminate a platoon of the US army in a formation, it can add up to a lot.

There was indeed a regiment of American troops in the cargo yard, numbering about 900 people. On the east side of the yard is a terminal processing plant area, and there is only a north-south road between the freight yard and the processing plant area. First of all, more than 10 carrier-based planes bombed along both sides of the road. The fortifications on the road were blown up in shambles, followed by a reinforced battalion of troops moving rapidly north along the kilometre. After the troops penetrated, naval artillery fire blocked the road between the freight yard and the processing plant, preventing the American troops in the freight yard from escaping to the east.

About half a time later, a frontal assault on the freight yard was launched. The U.S. troops resisted for an hour and were ready to abandon the freight yard and retreat to the east, but the east was blocked by artillery fire. In the headquarters of the US Army, a subordinate reported in a panic: "Report to the commander, the east is blocked by enemy artillery fire, and there is a sudden interception by Chinese troops in the rear, and we are surrounded." The American army was shocked and hurriedly picked up the phone, but the phone line was cut off, and they lost contact with Shangfeng.

"Break through to the north immediately!" The commander of the American regiment decisively ordered. However, the breakthrough was blocked, and as a result, there was a hole in the frontal defense, and the attacking troops on the southern flank rushed into the cargo yard, and in less than half an hour, a regiment of American troops was divided and surrounded. Despite the stubborn resistance of the U.S. military, the tide has turned. When the U.S. commander was captured, the resisting U.S. officers and soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered. The formation of the elimination of a regiment of the US army immediately boosted morale. When dusk came, Hu Biao led his troops to capture the rearmost dock area in the north, Pier 25.

After nearly three hours of fighting, Hu Biao led his troops to destroy a reorganized regiment of the US army, plus a battalion and two companies, and counted the sporadic capture of more than 1,900 US soldiers. The transformation of a crushing battle into a war of annihilation is a matter of eliminating the advantages of one or the other, which means that the number of landing troops is constantly increasing and the enemy is constantly decreasing. At the division headquarters, Hu Biao took the phone and said: "Army commander, our department has captured Pier 25. The troops were being assembled, and I was ready to launch an attack on the northern fortified batteries in one fell swoop. ”

"What, stop the attack, and give the attack task to the 3rd Division!" Hu Biao put down the phone in shock, and said with a depressed face: "Order the troops to assemble and stand by, and the 3rd Division will come over immediately to take over the defense." "Soon, Hu Biao's figure appeared in the military department." Commander, I don't understand why we should pull down. Zhuang Lei said with a smile: "The U.S. army in the north is already at the end of the crossbow, so let's hand it over to the 3rd Division." Your unit fought continuously, suffered great attrition in battle, and the officers and men were extremely tired. Next, we have to fight continuously, so the troops are pulled down to rest, just to maintain a strong combat effectiveness.

Seeing Hu Biao's reluctant departure, the chief of staff said: "Hu Biao's unit suffered a lot of losses in the landing operation, and he was holding his breath. "If they are allowed to continue fighting, given the fatigue of the officers and soldiers, the combat effectiveness will drop significantly, and the losses will be even greater. Now that the battle situation is clear and the US military is still stubbornly defending, it is obvious that the fierce battle is still to come, so we must regulate the fighting of all divisions, so that the troops engaged in the battle will always maintain vigorous energy and combat effectiveness, and be prepared for long-term continuous operations. ”

As soon as Zhuang Lei's words fell, he saw Ma Kai and Li Tie walk in, and Zhuang Lei's eyes couldn't help but widen. (To be continued......)
