"Hello Commander Deng!" Bangs walked into Deng Hua's headquarters and said hello! "Master Zhao, I finally looked forward to you, you are the ace division commander of our four fields, I have long heard Mr. Lin and Xiao Jinguang talk about you, I can see the true face today, you are really a hero!" Commander Deng Hua ran over to shake hands! "Commander Deng has won the award! The subordinates were ordered to cooperate with the 15th Corps to attack Hainan Island! Liu Hai said politely. Ok, good, good! With you Master Zhao joining, we will be more sure! Commander Deng said, "I'll tell you about our offensive plan!" ”

"In accordance with the instructions of the Central Military Commission on prudently working and making full preparations to resolve the issue of Hainan Island in the spring and summer of this year, we have unified the command of Comrade Lai Chuanzhu, political commissar, and Comrade Lai Chuanzhu, with a total of 100,000 troops of the 40 th Army and the 43 rd Army, to form a sea-crossing combat corps to carry out the task of liberating Hainan Island. In December last year, our corps was stationed on the Leizhou Peninsula and in the coastal areas, and began to recruit ships, mobilize shipwrights, carry out political mobilization of troops, and carry out tactical and technical training. At an operational meeting held in Guangzhou this year, Ye Jianying, secretary of the South China Branch of the CPC, myself, and principal leaders of the 40 th Army, the 43 rd Army, and the Qiongya Column, formulated the following campaign guidelines for actively smuggling people and combining small crossings in batches with the final landing in view of the characteristics of the enemy's defense around the island and the dispersion of troops. That is, first smuggling in small units in batches to strengthen the forces on the island, and then forcibly landing with the main force, carrying out internal and external flanking attacks, and striving to completely annihilate the defenders on the island." Commander Deng introduced his plan and that of the 15 th Corps in one go!

"How about it, Senior Commander Zhao, can you tell me what you think?" Commander Deng said. "Actually, I also participated in the Jinxia Campaign, so I have accumulated a little experience in sea-crossing and landing operations, can you tell me about the situation of the other party?" Bangs asked. "The Kuomintang held on to Hainan Island, and Chiang Kai-shek appointed Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief of the defense of Hainan, leading five armies with a total of 19 divisions and a special forces, plus local reactionary forces, with a total strength of about 100,000 troops. In addition, the Third Fleet of the Kuomintang Navy and a regiment of the Marine Corps are equipped with more than 50 ships of various types and more than 40 aircraft. Relying on his superiority in the sea and air force, Xue Yue organized a three-dimensional defense around the island, and named it the "Boling Defense Line" by his alias, in an attempt to prevent us from crossing the sea and landing! Commander Deng quickly explained the other party's situation as well.

"Xue Yue?" Liu Hai muttered in his heart, this Xue Yue is not simple, during the Battle of Changsha, he created a set of Heavenly Furnace tactics, which made the Japanese sink into the sand in Changsha City, and now this person guards Hainan Island, and there are 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and the sea and air superiority cannot be underestimated! "Commander Deng, how are you going to use our artillery?" Bangs asked. "Your artillery can focus on attacking the enemy's navy, especially the Kuomintang navy that appeared when we landed, as long as you can suppress the opponent's ships, we can go ashore under the response of the Qiongya column!" Deng Hua said. "Do you know Commander, the biggest failure in the Battle of Kinmen was the underestimation of the anti-tank battle, so that the landing force suffered a big loss, you can't just put artillery on attacking sea targets, you must let the landing force have a strong enough comprehensive firepower!" Bangs said.

"Even the American-style 155 cannons can't hit the beachhead, Hainan Island is too far away from our shore, I want to think about it, but there is no good way!" Commander Deng Hua said. "I just heard that you are going to use the method of active smuggling, combining small ferries in batches with a final landing to land on Hainan Island, and my idea is whether you can use a special smuggling to transport artillery ashore!" Bangs said. "It's okay to transport artillery ashore, but our ship can't carry heavy artillery, not to mention that there are not too few shells!" Commander Deng said. "The artillery can be dispersed and disassembled, and then assembled after going ashore, so that the landing force can have heavy artillery fire support, if this goal can be achieved, then even the Kuomintang will not think of it, and it will definitely be able to surprise them at that time!"

"Disperse and disassemble, and then assemble after landing?" After Commander Deng thought for a while, he laughed, "Senior Commander Zhao is really a talent, why didn't I think of it?" Great, great! "Commander, it is not so simple for the artillery to go ashore in the first batch, after going ashore, you need to choose a position, this position is convenient for concealment, and it must be able to cover the landing force and strike at the possible Kuomintang counterattack troops, which requires the cooperation of the comrades of the Qiongya Column to find a suitable place for artillery positions near our landing site!" The most important thing is to divide the troops and protect the artillery positions! Bangs said! That's easy to say! Commander Deng waved his hand, "Invite the commissioner of the Qiongya Column!" ”

"What? Dismantling the cannon and smuggling it to the island? What a way, if we can have even limited artillery support at the landing site, then the landing will be sure to be nine out of ten! The commissioner said excitedly. Therefore, we need you to choose an artillery position that is conducive to cover, and please tell Comrade Feng Baiju that this matter is related to the success of our landing, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong! Commander Deng said. Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely relay your words to Captain Feng! The commissioner said. Very good, without further ado, I would like to ask you to return to Hainan Island tonight and convey the mission of the Corps to Comrade Feng Baiju! Commander Deng said. Be! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Division Commander Zhao, what do you think of the first batch of artillery to land on the island... Before Commander Deng finished speaking, Liu Hai said, "It's my 122nd Artillery Regiment, the regiment commander's ghost cannon, which is used and maintained on the cannon, especially the sight range * hit, point target shooting has rich experience, and I guarantee that he is foolproof!" "Very good, I will tell the ghost leader a series of things that have come ashore!" Commander Deng said, "But you only have two artillery regiments, one on Hainan Island, so there is only one artillery regiment for attacking surface ships?" "In this way, you drop another heavy artillery regiment for me to command, and we will bombard the north and south, and we will definitely make the Leizhou Strait a smooth road!" Bangs said. "Good!"

"What? Shall I go to the island first? Division commander, are you okay, if you are intercepted by the opponent's navy halfway, then my artillery regiment will sink into the sea! Ghost Cannon said reluctantly. It's okay, it's smuggling at night, isn't it for you to break through the enemy's coastal control line and occupy Hainan Island in one go, are you so scared? "Bangs look at the ghost cannon!" I'm not afraid, I'm sorry for my artillery regiment, in case it seems to be Kinmen and never go back, it's not impossible! Ghost Cannon said. Don't worry, this time is different, there is our army on Hainan Island, called the Qiongya Column, more than 20,000 people, even if you can't come back, the Qiongya Column will keep you safe! Bangs said. Poor what? Poor Tooth Column? Do they have no teeth? "If you say that on the island, you'll regret it!" A voice came from behind the ghost cannon!

"Commander Deng!" Bangs hurriedly stood up and saluted! "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'll stop by to see your artillery division, it seems that Division Commander Zhao is not very good at pre-war mobilization!" Commander Deng said. "Hehe, no, this kid just talks a lot of, and no one is afraid of fighting!" After Liu Hai finished speaking, he glared fiercely at the ghost cannon, and the ghost cannon hurriedly lowered his head! "It's okay, I'll tell you about this Qiongya column!"

After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, the Qiongya Special Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Qiongya Military Committee successively formed the Qiongya Rebel Revolutionary Army in Wenchang, Qiongshan and other counties. In two months, the Qiongya Special Committee led an armed uprising. Another month later, the Qiongya Rebellion Revolutionary Army was reorganized into the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and later renamed the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army and renamed the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. At the end of that year, the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army suffered a serious setback under the "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang army, and the rest was transferred to Muruishan in Ding'an County to establish the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Independent Regiment, which was expanded into the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Independent Division the following year. Later, under the "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang army, they suffered serious losses, and the rest of the troops persisted in the struggle under the leadership of Feng Baiju, secretary of the special committee, and later formed the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army guerrillas. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Qiongya Special Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang authorities reached an agreement to reorganize the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army into the 14th District Independent Team of the Guangdong Provincial People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Regiment, with Feng Baiju as the captain. When the Japanese army invaded Hainan Island, the independent team actively organized guerrilla warfare, expanded into the headquarters of the anti-Japanese guerrilla independent team in Qiongya, Guangdong Province, and established the Qiongwen base area.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the independent column of the Qiongya anti-Japanese guerrillas in Guangdong Province was renamed the independent column of the Qiongya guerrillas in Guangdong Province. The Kuomintang army carried out a "clearance", and the main force of the independent column withdrew from Baisha. The independent column resumed radio contact with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and soon after liberated the entire territory of Baisha, established the Wuzhishan Base Area, and according to the decision of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, it was reorganized into the Qiongya Column of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Feng Baiju as commander and political commissar!

"Wow!" After hearing this, the ghost cannon shouted excitedly, "Amazing, who are these people who can hold out on a lonely island for twenty-three years!" Especially that Feng Baiju, after Lao Tzu goes to South Island, he must pay a good visit, what a hero! "Hehe, as long as your ghost head can go to Hainan Island, you will be able to meet Comrade Feng Baiju, if you can liberate Hainan Island, then Comrade Feng Baiju will definitely respect you three bowls!" Commander-in-Chief Deng said. "Please rest assured, you can't do anything else, if you want to talk about artillery, no one can forget about the ghost cannon!" Ghost Cannon said obliviously. "Good! Tomorrow night, your ghost regiment commander will take your artillery regiment and take the lead in landing on Hainan Island to establish a powerful firepower point for our landing force! Commander-in-Chief Lamp said, looking at the ghost cannon. Be! Heads! Ghost Cannon said hurriedly.

At this time, the ghost artillery did not know what a huge role its artillery played for the PLA to successfully land on Hainan Island!
