Bombardment of Hainan Island (3)

"We only have twenty guns, we have to fight a little tighter, a little faster, and strive to sort out the opponent's artillery position within ten minutes!" Ghost Cannon explained. "Okay! We know it in our hearts, so you can rest assured! The artillerymen nodded. Preparation! Fire! According to the instructions of the ghost artillery, the artillerymen used the artillery wall tactics, and their skillful combat skills were fully brought into play, and with less than a thousand shells, Xue Yue's artillery group was beaten to pieces, and the losses were heavy, and the main responsible persons including the artillery regiment commander were either killed or wounded, and the artillery group lost its combat ability!

"What did you say?" Xue Yue held the telephone tube tightly, "A group of artillery, dozens of artillery pieces were destroyed without firing, and they were actually destroyed by the other party's artillery?" "Yes, sir, in my experience, like a hundred and twenty mm American * gun!" "Fuck you! Even American artillery can't hit here from Leizhou! "Xue Yue is crazy, the artillery group has been destroyed, and only the ground forces have launched a counterattack, but can only the ground forces suppress the other party?" Fight back, fight back! We must block the communist army! "Xue Yue ordered the troops to fight back!

"Shift the target! All guns ready! "The ghost cannon gave the order to prepare for fire, and the gunners began to quickly shake the handle, turned the cannon in one direction, and then waited for the order to fire! The ghost cannon watched with binoculars as the opposing troops entered the starting position, and then began to storm the beachhead under the leadership of the officer! "Fire!" The hand of the ghost cannon waved down fiercely, the deafening cannon sound sounded, and one shell after another accurately shot into Xue Yue's counterattack troops, and the counterattacking national army troops struggled in the shells, but to no avail, before they rushed up a hundred meters, they began to turn around and run back, and the counterattack ended in vain! Looking at the national army that ran back in despair, the ghost cannon laughed!

With the support of ghost artillery, the landing force quickly went ashore and established a beachhead defense line as quickly as possible! The landing force was also quickly assembled, under the leadership of the regiment commanders, non-stop to advance to the depth, followed by the baggage troops also began to frantically establish material supplies, mortars and mountain artillery also quickly went ashore, after a short period of preparation, also followed to the depth of the troops to provide close fire support! But at this time, Xue Yue finally discovered the existence of the ghost artillery regiment and immediately ordered the air force to carry out an assault!

"Transfer! It's almost time to be discovered, and if you don't leave, it's over, and the whole army will retreat! Ghost Cannon said as he looked at a flock of birds flying in the distance. Before leaving, Liu Hai had told him that after two rounds of artillery shots, whether he was discovered or not, he would immediately transfer his position, so as not to suffer undue losses due to the surprise attack of the opponent's superior air firepower! Now the ghost artillery is in strict accordance with Liu Hai's explanation, and after having the opportunity to get the opponent's artillery position and counterattack troops, it will immediately start to transfer! Sure enough, in less than five minutes after the transfer of the ghost artillery, 30 of the 45 planes of the Nationalist army participating in the Hainan Campaign were violently dropped. Looking at the position of a sea of fire bombed by aviation*, the ghost artillery trembled in his heart, fortunately he didn't take it upon himself to stand still, otherwise, he would really be a ghost now!

At this time, the Eastern Route Army also began to land, but due to a little error, the landing force did not land at the original scheduled place, but deviated about five kilometers, and the landing place was not very good, but the troops still stubbornly landed ashore! This deviation from the direction of yin and yang avoided a landing failure! Because a company commander of the Qiongya Column made a mistake, he came up with the idea of defecting to the national army, and the day before the landing, this company commander took refuge in the national army with the secret of the landing site of the Eastern Route Army. For such a big pie flying from the sky, Xue Yue could never want it, so he set up a fire trap on the landing site of the Eastern Route Army, waiting for the PLA to come ashore! But I never thought that people were not as good as heaven, and the landing force deviated from the course and landed on Hainan Island!

After all the armies of the two routes came ashore, they immediately began an in-depth assault on Hainan Island. The defending national army troops desperately resisted, coupled with Xue Yue's timely deployment of two additional divisions to reinforce the beachhead troops, for a while, the Eastern Route National Army and the People's Liberation Army were killed on the beachhead, and wolf smoke was everywhere! Since the national army has received reinforcements, the offensive momentum is very fierce, and the PLA is desperately resisting, because the success or failure of the landing is at stake! Just when it was difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner from the loser, the county town behind the national army was captured by the Qiongya Column! Before the PLA landed, Feng Baiju had already discussed with Commander Deng Hua that when the PLA landed, the Kuomintang must desperately press the PLA into the sea, and the rear must be empty at this time, so the Qiongya Column should divide the troops into two ways to take the county towns in the east and west directions, and these two county towns must also be the gathering places of the enemy's war materials!

The appearance of the Qiongya Column gave the National Army commanded by Xue Yue a stab in the back, and a large number of war materials were hoarded in the two counties, after the Qiongya Column was captured, all the materials were burned, and the captured mortars were used to cooperate with a small force to attack the rear of the Beachhead National Army, so that the rear of the National Army was suddenly in chaos, plus Wu Fatzi had moved the cannon to the shore, and stood up on the beachhead and began to shoot, Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery was huge, basically a dozen people were blown up after a cannon, Even if it can't be blown up, it will be shocked, heavy artillery plus sneak attack, plus frontal attack, the national army on the beachhead can no longer withstand it, and they have begun to retreat, and the beachhead blockade has been completely broken!

"Fire! The sharpshooter is optimistic, as long as the other party shows his head, he will give me a hard fight! "The gunboats covering the landing are still desperately circling around He Guojun's fleet, because thousands of ships have not yet landed, and even after landing, they will continue to cover the return of the fleet. And the commanders and captains of the Kuomintang fleet were really puzzled, even if the gunboats converted by the communist army in the front were counted, how could the opponent's shore guns still be able to accurately hit themselves at such a distance, and only now that dozens of other ships were destroyed in the east and west directions, but they were sunk by artillery and damaged many ships, and they couldn't figure out what was going on. However, Xue Yue gave a dead order not to retreat, and continued to attack the fleet, and the fleet had to attack desperately, until finally all the gunboats covering were destroyed, and he suffered heavy losses, and when the shells ran out, he was forced to withdraw from the battle!

In the face of the unfavorable situation, Xue Yue once again transferred troops to reinforce, Xue Yue urgently transferred the strength of six divisions of his 62nd and 32nd armies to the 15th Corps to land on the shore troops to carry out a counterattack, with the support of artillery, the PLA that had already landed launched a charge against the enemy, with the support of artillery, especially heavy artillery, the shock troops very smoothly occupied the county town in the east and west directions as a support! At the same time, a large number of war materials were transported to the beachhead by boat, and then transported from the beachhead to the two county towns to support the operation! Xue Yue's five divisions have arrived, and began to attack the PLA in two directions in batches, in the face of heavy attack, the commanders of each regiment began to occupy the commanding heights and began to block the operation, the artillery in both directions could not resume support for a while due to the ammunition was exhausted, and the attacking troops also felt this, and seized this time to attack wildly!

"What about the cannonballs? What about shells? Why haven't you come up yet? "The ghost cannon is so anxious that he stomps his feet, if the cannon is without shells, it is better to use a bayonet!" We've already been contacted, and we'll be there in about half an hour! "The operator of the Qiongya Column told the ghost cannon!" Damn it! "The ghost cannon also knows that it is useless to be in a hurry, across the sea, it is not easy to transport such heavy shells by ship, half an hour is half an hour! Wu Fatzi was also so anxious at this time that he jumped to his feet, staring at the sea and waiting for the cannonballs to come up! Fortunately, the anxious Xue Yue only cared about destroying the landing PLA, but forgot to use the air force to attack the follow-up supply fleet, and the result was that 500 ships transported the replenishment materials ashore in time!

At this time, the Qiongya Column, which had been freed up, once again attacked the rear of the National Army, and the materials of the National Army were either burned or bombed, and they kept attacking the rear of the National Army, disturbing the National Army was not peaceful, and finally the Qiongya Column gathered all its forces and launched an attack on the 25th Division of the National Army coldly, and the 25th Division, which was competing with the People's Liberation Army in front, was unable to take care of it, fought on two fronts, and was finally broken through by the whole line! After the position of the 25th Division was broken through, the door of the national army's defense line was wide open, and the PLA that swarmed in quickly made a two-wing detour, encircling all the other four divisions of the national army on the beachhead front line on the beachhead line, and finally three divisions were wiped out, one division was dispersed, and the door to Hainan was wide open!

The 40th Army coordinated with the 43rd Army to attack from inside and outside, inflicting heavy losses on the 62nd and 32nd Armies of the Kuomintang Army. At this time, Xue Yue saw that the general trend had gone, and urgently ordered his headquarters to retreat south, so he fled to Taiwan by plane. The People's Liberation Army occupies the city of Haikou. Five regiments of the 46th Army of the second echelon successfully landed at Tianwei Port. In the afternoon of the same day, the People's Liberation Army pursued southward in three directions. The Eastern Route troops captured Qiongnan, Yulin, and Sanya; The troops of the Central and Western Routes occupied Basuo and Beili in Qiongxi. So far, Hainan Island has been completely liberated. In this battle, more than 30,000 Kuomintang troops were annihilated, and most of the rest fled from the sea.

Hainan Island was liberated, the ghost cannon and Wu Fatzi were transferred back to Leizhou as soon as possible, and notified Liu Hai to immediately take the train to the northeast for reorganization, because it was a direct order from Mr. Lin, so Liu Hai did not dare to delay, plus the special special train attached to it, Liu Hai's artillery division set off back to the northeast at the fastest speed!
