Bloodstained Golden Gate (1)
"How this battle was fought!" Ye Fei viciously kicked the commanders of the 91st and 29th Divisions, "Fighting such two small islands, more than 2,000 casualties, are you all pig brains?" It's not as good as the commander of the artillery division, what's the use of asking you! "Commander, we have little experience in crossing the sea, and there are loopholes in the coordination of various troops, the responsibility is ours, and we are willing to accept organizational punishment!" The two of them bowed their heads together and said. "Humph! What's the use of dealing with you, can those fallen warriors come back to life? Can the damage caused be remedied? Tell you, go back and sum up my experience and learn a lesson, and then hand in the experience report to me. After Commander Ye finished speaking, he stood up and left!
"Commander Ye, there is still a Kinmen Island, the attack task will be handed over to our 29th Division, give us a chance, Commander!" The commander of the 29th Division said. "No need! I plan to hand over the task of Kinmen to the 28th Division to fight, the little work that enters the door is not the meat of the mouth, you can eat it when you want, it's a little promising, don't always want to pick up this kind of cheap battle! After Ye Fei finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left!
"Let's be honest, these two battles have caused heavy casualties, and I have an unshirkable responsibility as the commander of the corps, and I am willing to accept organizational punishment!" Ye Fei said to his political commissar. "Don't worry, let's wait, the battle is not over yet, let's wait for the battle to be finished and report it together! As long as the 28th Division fights beautifully and takes Kinmen Island happily, maybe the organizational attitude will be better! "Well, it's not bad these days anyway!" Ye Fei said. "That's right! Another thing, according to the latest enemy briefing, said that the defense of Kinmen Island was taken over by the Twelfth Army Corps of the Kuomintang, and the commander was Lieutenant General Hu Lian! The commissar reminded. It's the same with everyone, I don't believe he can make a flower in Kinmen! ”
"Commander, what are we doing now, let's go back to Shanghai if it's okay!" Ghost Cannon said. "I said why do you keep thinking about going back to Shanghai, something is wrong!" Bangs look at the ghost cannon strangely! "Of course there's something! This kid knew a hotel waiter in Shanghai for a few days, a very beautiful waiter, I heard that he was still from the Northeast, this kid wanted to trick people into going back to the Northeast with him! Wu Fatzi said. What do you think? Did they say yes? Liu Xiaoshan also came over boredly. Alas! Flowers were stuck in cow dung, dead pigs were arched on cabbage! "Fat Wu's face is heartbroken!" Haha, you kid can do it! Liu Xiaoshan came over and patted the ghost cannon and said. Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll go to Commander Ye and ask, if there's nothing going on, I'll report back to Shanghai! "Long live the division commander!" The ghost cannon was the first to shout!
"Oops! Master Zhao, you came just in time, I was just about to look for you! Ye Fei looked at the bangs with a smile. Yes? Commander Ye, what's the matter? "Bangs originally wanted to ask if there was anything wrong, if it's okay, please transfer back to Shanghai, but it turns out that this posture is something!" That's right, we're going to attack Kinmen Island, and we'd like to ask your artillery division to provide us with cover, do you think it's okay? Ye Fei said politely. Commander Ye said seriously, we were already under your command, of course we have to follow your orders! Bangs said hurriedly. That's good, with your artillery division, we are more sure! Ye Fei said happily.
Watching the ghost cannon listlessly lead the troops to the predetermined position, Wu Fatzi and Liu Xiaoshan looked at him happily. "Okay, ghost cannon, a man's husband should put his career first, don't always be a child!" Fat Wu smiled evilly. "That's it, cheer up and shoot well!" Liu Xiaoshan said with a serious face. "Get out of here!" Ghost Cannon scolded angrily. "Alright, alright! This is the last moment! As soon as the Battle of Jinxia is over, we will be able to return to Shanghai! Bangs said. Commander, do you think this time will be the same mess as the last two times? Liu Xiaoshan asked, "Probably not, with the lessons learned so twice, there should be no problem this time, after all, more than 2,000 people have been lost, if you don't have a long memory, it will be too much to say!" Bangs said.
Liu Hai was ordered to rush to the preset artillery cover position, saw the troops preparing to set off for the landing, and found that this time the landing force was preparing to board the ship. "Hurry up and put the artillery on the mount, prepare to bombard the landing site and cover the attack of the troops!" Liu Hai said to the two regiment leaders. "Okay, we'll be ready in an hour!" The two regiment leaders are veterans, and Liu Hai is not worried. "Master Zhao!" A cadre came over, "I am the staff officer of the 28th Division, and I am ordered to contact you to cover the attack!" "It's okay, we already know the attack plan, Kinmen Island is not big, there is no difficulty, as long as the attacking troops report their position at any time, where the troops hit, our artillery fire will follow!" Bangs said. "Well, then I'll say no more! This is our offensive time, you can attack the landing field half an hour early! "Okay! Let's work together to fight the last battle of the Jinxia Battle beautifully! ”
Just when Liu Hai and the 28th Division were all preparing to finish this battle cleanly, the defense on Kinmen Island was also in full swing. "Chief Hu, we have prepared the ship, you can return to Taiwan at any time!" The chief of operations reported to Hu Lian. "What? Before the gun went off, were you going to be a deserter? Hu Lian said angrily. Sir, to tell you the truth, Xiamen Island and Gulangyu Island can't be defended, what waves can be made in such a small Kinmen? The Chief of Operations said with a sigh. Defeat before the battle is simply confusing the army's heart, do you think I don't dare to shoot you? Hu Lian said, "Tell you, this battle will be won!" I already have a strategy to break the enemy, you only need to do two things, the first is to tell every soldier on Kinmen Island that I, Hu Lian, will be with them and swear to live and die with Kinmen! Second, to boost my morale, let's just say that I Hu Lian said, this battle will be won! "Yes! Sir! The chief of operations said hurriedly.
"You see, our coastal defense is not solid, and the artillery firepower cannot be compared with the communist army, so my suggestion is to give up the battle for the beachhead, put the artillery in depth, and place the main defensive section in the middle of the island, so that our artillery and naval artillery fire can concentrate firepower! Also, if one or two gunboats are sent out, and after all the communist troops have come ashore, they will attack their landing ships in a roundabout way, as long as they destroy their landing tools, it will be equivalent to being cut off! Hu Lian said to his subordinates. Abandoning the beachhead, luring the enemy deep, and then concentrating firepower, concentrating fire and close bombing, and in a moderate counterattack, destroying the enemy's means of crossing the sea, and cutting off his rear road, the commander is really not ordinary, in this way, we can give full play to our advantages, reduce the advantages of the communist army, and fight a war of encirclement and annihilation! A regimental commander said. Hehe, that's what it means in general! Hu Lian said. Don't worry, if you have an idea, we can win! At that time, the national army on the mainland was defeated and retreated, but Chief Hu was severely damaged in the Battle of Nanma*, I believe that as long as we are sincere and united, we will be able to fight another beautiful war of annihilation on Kinmen Island! ”
Just after the bangs were ready, he was notified again that the attack time had changed! Due to the fact that most of the coastal ships were destroyed by the enemy, only one battalion of ships were collected. There was a serious shortage of ships, and the 28th Division had to postpone the attack on Kinmen by two to three days. On the one hand, the headquarters of the 10th Corps urged the 28th Division to step up its preparations, and on the other hand, it demanded that all the ships of each army be concentrated to ensure that the 28th Division attacked the gold operation. The 10th Corps discovered that most of the 12th Corps of the Kuomintang Army Hu Lian had arrived at Kinmen Bay, and its troops began to be transported from Chaozhou and Shantou. It was also discovered that the enemy's 118th Division had arrived at Dajinmen, and that the follow-up troops were on their way by sea. However, the 10th Corps was uncertain about whether the enemy would withdraw to Taiwan or reinforce Kinmen, so it did not take contingency measures. By this time, the 28th Division had concentrated ships that could carry three regiments. The commander of the 10th Corps believed that it was necessary to seize the fighter planes and launch a sea-crossing operation to capture Kinmen when the enemy's reinforcements had not yet arrived at Kinmen. The first echelon sailed three regiments, and after returning home, the second echelon could sail at least two regiments, and the troops of five regiments could be transported in one night, and the ratio of forces between the enemy and us could reach one to one, which was enough to consolidate the position and solve the remnants of the enemy. Therefore, it was decided to start a battle three days later.
At 8 p.m. three days later, more than 9,000 officers and men crossed the sea at night to attack Kinmen on more than 300 warships and in three routes. Soon after the boat sailed, three or four northeast winds blew on the sea, and the tide rose slowly. Because the recruited sailors were all from Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and other places, they were not familiar with the waterways, they had not been trained in advance, their coordination was not effective, their scheduling was ineffective, and the three regiments did not have a unified command, and their communication and liaison were not smooth, resulting in the convoys of each regiment sailing on their own.
At 0:00 in the evening, a platoon of red defenders on Kinmen Island accidentally touched * when checking the sentry, and there was a loud bang, and the defenders were all awakened, and in a panic, they thought that the People's Liberation Army was coming, and hurriedly entered the position. At this moment, by the faint moonlight, he found that there was a large black convoy on the sea, coming with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top, so he fired three shots in a row according to the plan agreed in advance. This flotilla was our main attack on the 244th Regiment, and after the regiment commander and political commissar saw that the defenders had discovered our army and immediately reported the distance to the command post by radio, the Liu Hai command artillery group, which had already been waiting for him, suddenly opened fire, and the fire reflected the red night sky, and the Battle of Kinmen began. But no one thought that on such a small island, the most tragic battle of the Jinxia Battle broke out!
