298 Liberating Hong Kong and Kowloon (2-in-1 for a monthly pass and subscription)

"The first stage of our operation is to cut off the sea fleet of the little devils in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Lu Xingguo, this task is entrusted to your air force cluster to complete. ”

"In the second stage, we divided into three combined attacks, all the way to the west, consisting of the 3rd Attack Group and the 5th Attack Group, accompanied by the 1st Tank Regiment and the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment, to regain Yuen Long and Tuen Mun; All the way to the east, it was composed of the 4th Attack Group and the 6th Attack Group, accompanied by the 2nd Tank Regiment and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment, to recover Dapu and Kowloon and other places. After the two sides joined forces in Kowloon, they jointly attacked Hong Kong Island.

The 7th Attack Group served as the general reserve.

The third mission is the most special, undertaken by the commando team, with the cooperation of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade, infiltrating Tsim Sha Tsui to launch a decapitation mission against the little devil headquarters and destroy the enemy headquarters! ”

According to Gao Jianwu's tactical deployment, this time the air-land coordination and infantry and artillery coordination three-dimensional attack methods were still adopted.

Under this strategy, the main thing is to add a few destroyers to the combined fleet of the little devils and blow them up.

After all, the naval guns of the little devil destroyers are very sharp, even if they are commanded by Gao Jianwu, no matter how high the level of artillery is, they will not be able to fight against them. After all, on top of the range of artillery.

The naval guns of the little devil destroyer are still very superior. In particular, one of the Blowing Snow-class destroyers, the main weapon system is three 127-mm three-year twin-mounted main gun turrets, with a maximum firing range of 18,380 meters and a maximum rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute.

The power of this naval artillery has surpassed all the heavy artillery that Gao Jianwu now has, and now the number one heavy hammer M1A1 155mm howitzer of the cluster artillery of the expeditionary force has a maximum range of only 15 kilometers, which is 3 kilometers less than the 127 mm naval guns of the little devil destroyer!

Since the little devil's destroyer can also move to fight, the range is larger, and the combat is more flexible, so Gao Jianwu has no choice.

"The air group is doing everything to destroy the fleet of imps, and if the high-altitude bombing fails, we will resort to dive bombing. This time, the Allies tightly airlifted a batch of torpedoes, and our air force cluster is confident that the little devil fleet will be wiped out! Lu Xingguo knew the importance of the air force cluster, and stood up first and said.

With Lu Xingguo's statement, Xu Shida, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao, Lu Fan, Sun Desheng and others also expressed their positions.

Although it is said that with the departure of Chu Yunfei and Ding Wei, the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force cluster has decreased a lot. After all, the 1st and 2nd Strike Groups are deservedly one of the top names of the expeditionary force cluster.

But what is left is the rest of the war with the little devils, even Kong Jie and Lu Fan, who joined later, they also experienced the baptism of war in the penetration of the southern military French Indochina.

In addition, in this battle, the weapons and ammunition were paid for by the Allied forces, and the four main attack groups recovered a full set of American weapons and equipment, and in terms of weapons, they had overwhelmed the two and a half divisions and one and a half brigades left by the little devils in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

......

"Niang Xipi, what's the matter with Chief Yu, the edict sent the expeditionary force cluster to leave Guangdong, and such a simple thing can be done? It is extremely stupid to let the expeditionary force cluster take root in Guangdong! "When the micro-manipulation master principal heard the news from his intelligence department, he was about to explode.

But now the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how long his hand is, he can't reach Yuedi now, and for Chief Yu's private transaction with Gao Jianwu, the principal has no other way to think than to continue to increase blood pressure.

Although the headmaster didn't know the specifics of this transaction, as long as he combined the information of his subordinates, he was very familiar with these things at a glance. After all, this set of tricks has long been a trick he has played badly.

But what can I do, it's really beyond the reach of the whip now.

As the little devils continued to conquer the city, the headmaster felt that many things had gotten out of control.

Jindi is like this, and now it seems that Yuedi may also follow in the footsteps of others.

At this time, the principal did not know Gao Jianwu's plans, and he had no plan to leave the expeditionary force cluster in Guangdong to take root.

Once Gao Jianwu decided to do this, with the 12th Group Army of Chief Yu, he would not be able to stop it at all. Not to mention a 12th Army, even five or six are useless.

For this point, the principal, who is now very familiar with the strength of the opponent, is still a little forced in his heart.

After all, the 12th Army has a hard time dealing with a small devil division, but the expeditionary force cluster can kill several small devil divisions!

"Forget it, Chief Yu don't count on him, let Director Mao send more people over there to find out the situation. At the same time, in the areas occupied by the expeditionary force cluster, we are determined to send personnel to establish grassroots organizations, and inform me of the situation, and continue to expose the illegal actions of the expeditionary force cluster through the newspapers in its bold and arbitrary cross-regional activities. After walking seven or eight thousand steps in the house, the headmaster finally made a helpless decision.

Although this decision is of little use to the overall situation, for Ding Wei, this is also a very disgusting and troublesome matter, after all, it is indeed very passive to be so engaged by the other party in terms of public opinion.

The so-called improper name is not good, and now this situation can only be silent for the time being, burying oneself in the development of oneself.

......

"Gao, it's nice to see you and your expeditionary force cluster again." Major General Smith gave Gao Jianwu a bear hug and said happily. "I'm here to fight alongside you again."

Major General Smith heard that Gao Jianwu was going to do something to the little devils in Hong Kong and Kowloon, so he volunteered to fight. Now he is a major general of the air force of the Allied Beautiful Nation in Southeast Asia Theater Command, and now has an air force under his command, including an A-20 attack squadron.

On the one hand, it was to strengthen the connection with Gao Jianwu, and the performance of the expeditionary force cluster made General Steven's inclination towards the Eighth Route stronger, so before Gao Jianwu launched an attack, the goods began to march towards Qiongshan Port;

On the other hand, Major General Smith is also making a little more war exploits by the way, you must know that Gao Jianwu is the god of war who wins a hundred battles, and there are many little devils in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and there are many opportunities.

"Dear John, my old friend, welcome to our battle formation again." Gao Jianwu is also very happy about the arrival of Major General Smith, after all, this international friend is really in trouble!

The arrival of 30 A-20 attack planes this time was like a tiger for Gao Jianwu.

"Gao, let's say, what are you going to do this time?" Regarding Gao Jianwu's unpredictable artillery command art, Major General Smith went straight to the point without saying a word.

After all, he didn't come thousands of miles away, but he didn't just do it and watch the little devil perish.

"John, the little devil's fleet in Hong Kong and Kowloon will be handed over to you, how about it, a patchwork version of the detachment of more than 10 destroyers is enough for your appetite, right?" Gao Jianwu said with a smile, seeing the arrival of Major General Smith, he immediately transferred Lu Xingguo's work to him.

Although Lu Xingguo and they can also do this very well, it is impossible not to pay a certain amount of casualties in the face of the dozen or so destroyers of the little devils. After all, these destroyers have their own air defense systems. Compared with the weak air defense capability of the Little Devil Army, the Little Devil Navy is obviously more than a step stronger!

What's more, Lu Xingguo's Mustang fighters were not born for bombing at all, in comparison, Major General Smith's A-20 attack aircraft is professional.

"Haha, that's a big piece of fat, enough, enough." Major General Smith smiled widely. has been following Gao Jianwu for a long time, of course, he also knows Gao Jianwu's command habits, and without a certain amount of coordinated training, he can't integrate into Gao Jianwu's main attack team.

Like this direct target designation, it is best to perform the task alone.

Due to the addition of Major General Smith's squadron of attack aircraft, the entire combat deployment has undergone subtle changes, but the situation has become more favorable to Gao Jianwu. Lu Xingguo and the others have now begun to directly assign to the two attack groups, and once again staged a three-dimensional war in Hong Kong and Kowloon, which is a three-in-one combination of air-ground coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and infantry-artillery coordination.

The whole battle was started by Rear Admiral Smith, whose A-20 attack aircraft squadron was almost all veterans, and when the air raid began, the destroyer left by the little devil in Hong Kong and Kowloon I did not expect that I would actually encounter an attack aircraft attack from the beautiful country.

Even though they were on high alert all the time, most of the destroyers did not even have the first attack in the face of a sudden attack.

Before the absence of anti-aircraft missiles and highly automated radar locking, anti-aircraft guns were really too ineffective against air attacks. Even if the little devil navy has a lot of training, there is no way but to watch as the entire destroyer detachment stationed in Hong Kong and Kowloon is blown up one by one.

At the same time, the little devil's Yuen Long Taipo defense line, in the face of the three-dimensional attack of the expeditionary force cluster, had no resistance and could only be broken through one front after another.

Bombing, shelling, tank charges! The three-dimensional joint offensive that is becoming more and more mature has allowed the little devils to use their lives to know what is called a modern way of warfare.

Taking advantage of the fact that someone is paying this time, Gao Jianwu also spared ammunition to cover the attack mode with firepower. Therefore, this battle, the expeditionary force cluster fought even more heartily.

Now looking at Zhang Dabiao, the hat throwing king who was beaten by his subordinates with artillery fire, and the beautiful national steel helmet on his head with gold no longer has to worry about being thrown away one day.

Even Zhang Dabiao didn't know when the last time he fought with a bayonet? Fighting with Gao Jianwu does not mean that you don't need to rely on the spirit of a bayonet, but that you don't need to do that at all now, so you can solve the little devil.

Compared with the previous tragic battles in which 1/3 and 1/4 of his subordinates were easily damaged in battle, now in Zhang Dabiao's fourth attack group, if any battalion commander dared to fight like this and cause losses, Zhang Dabiao would have beaten the other party and couldn't take care of himself.

Lieutenant General Kuichi Tanaka, who was in a desperate situation, faced an extremely unfavorable situation, and commanded the little devil to grit his teeth for three days and three nights, until it was useless to wipe out all the troops, and in view of the special situation in Hong Kong and Kowloon, it was unlikely that the little devil would build a very strong defense line there.

Under the artillery commanded by Gao Jianwu, all the defenses of the little devils were as fragile as those of a paper lake.

The expeditionary force group cleanly wiped out the little devils, seized the weapons of more than 4 divisions, plus the ammunition that Gao Jianwu exploded, this time Gao Jianwu really prepared a big gift for Ding Wei's South China base area.

Ding Wei organized a full 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and it took seven days and seven nights to capture Gao Jianwu, and the assets of the little devils in Hong Kong and Kowloon were swept away!

When waiting for the British and Indian troops in the Allied forces to come to take over the defense, the British officers suddenly found that even a grain had been taken away from the barracks occupied by the little devils, and now in the warehouse, even the rats wanted to cry when they saw it.

With such a harvest, Ding Wei was finally relieved. Because what Gao Jianwu gave him this time was more than just weapons and ammunition. This included the confiscation of a large amount of grain, trading company materials, and a batch of machinery and equipment from the little devil, which he said were still far from the Jinyang factory.

However, when Ding Wei received the engineers of the Jinyang Arsenal, at least the production capacity of bullets and shells below 75 mm was available, and now it could receive raw materials such as steel from Nanyang, and the South China base area was now not afraid of being isolated and blockaded by friendly forces and little devils.

Sure enough, with Gao Jianwu, there is no problem at all with eating nine meals in three days!

After completing the Hong Kong-Kowloon Campaign, Gao Jianwu and Major General Smith made an appointment to reunite in Jindi in the future, and according to the time point promised by Gao Jianwu to Major General Smith, he could provide Major General Smith with a stable rear base for bombing the little devil's homeland in half a year.

I don't know what Gao Jianwu said? After the two got drunk in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Rear Admiral Smith led his squadron of attack aircraft back to base.

And Gao Jianwu led the expeditionary force cluster to begin to move north along the Guangdong-Han line, compared to the previous completely two-legged walk, this time a lot of progress, there are more than the good external conditions that the commander wanted to send the plague god, this time the main force mixed with the treatment of taking the train out of Guangdong.

More importantly, Gao Jianwu received new information, the No. 1 operation of the little devil started ahead of schedule, and the 11th army of the little devil started the battle of Tanzhou ahead of schedule.

He must stop a losing battle for the General Assembly.

......

"Chief Xue, the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater Expeditionary Force Cluster Gao called through allied intelligence that the 11th Army of the Little Devil is about to attack Tanzhou, and the Commander-in-Chief Gao said that this time the Little Devil is menacing, not only will the 11th Army of the Little Devil be dispatched, but also more than 400 fighters of the Central China Front Air Force will be assembled to help in the war, and the Expeditionary Force Cluster is willing to enter Tanzhou to assist in the defense."

After listening to the latest telegram received by the communications staff officer, Chief Xue frowned, of course Gao Jianwu had heard of it, and now this person has surpassed him to become the person who has annihilated the most troops in Xiaori in one fell swoop, which makes Chief Xue even more unhappy.

"Call back to the Allied Headquarters, the high department is thousands of miles away from the 11th Army of the Japanese Invaders, the news spread is false, please don't believe it, the so-called defense is even more ridiculous, even if the Japanese invade, my Ninth Theater is strong and strong, and it can be dealt with without any foreign aid."

Chief Xue replied lightly to the communications staff officer.

If it was a call sent directly to him, he wouldn't have bothered at all. However, Gao Jianwu transferred the information through the allies, and Chief Xue wanted to give the allies some face, but he only replied.

For the things they mentioned. Chief Xue vetoed it in one bite.

Gao Jianwu's actions in Guangdong, Chief Xue will never allow them to happen in Hunan.

After Gao Jianwu received the news from Major General Smith, he smiled bitterly.

This so-called god of war is really a little arrogant, although his news has not revealed the source, but it is not too difficult to verify. There are many clues that more than 100,000 troops have been dispatched, and with the intelligence system of the national army system, if the intelligence of the 11th army of the little devils is concentrated, a lot of useful information can definitely be obtained.

It's just that I didn't expect them to even verify it, so they just rejected it. For these local warlords, they are more sensitive to whether their interests are being violated.

And Gao Jianwu's plan just touched their sensitive point.

As for snatching the title of God of War, Gao Jianwu really didn't think of this problem. For him, these false names are useless.

"John, the Ninth Theater has not accepted it, please help fight for the right to use Hengzhou Airport, let the Expeditionary Force Air Force cluster be stationed to support the upcoming Tanzhou Campaign, I am sure that the little devil 11th Army is about to launch an attack, and the time will not exceed 72 hours."

Gao Jianwu thought for a while, and ordered the communications staff to send a report to Major General Smith of the Allied Command, asking Major General Smith to mediate the Hengzhou airport, which is now controlled by the Allies, and Gao Jianwu wants to let a part of the air force be stationed at this airport to support the upcoming general battle.

Although it is said that the main force of the Air Force now set up by the expeditionary force cluster at Huiyang Airport is only more than 400 kilometers away from Tanzhou, this distance is nothing for the combat radius of the Mustang fighter.

But after all, it is far away from the battlefield, and it takes a lot more time to fly over the battlefield, as a light fighter that needs to be replenished frequently, of course, the closer to the battlefield, the better.

Major General Smith is as reliable as ever, now he is an important assistant to General Steven, and he is convinced of the information presented by Gao Jianwu, Tanzhou and Hengzhou are not far away, both of them are key places in Hunan Province, although the Ninth Theater has a brilliant record of repelling the little devil three times, but this time the little devil Central China Front Army poured out, the strength is already extraordinary, Major General Smith is very familiar with the Shenzhou Theater, after Gao Jianwu provided the data on the strength of the little devil, he deduced with General Steven, Both men unanimously predicted that this battle would be very dangerous for the Allies without strong support.

However, the commander of the Ninth War Zone almost turned a deaf ear to the warnings and suggestions they put forward, and even thought that this was a false information!

This made General Steven and Major General Smith extremely angry, and now Gao Jianwu wants to take the initiative to participate in the expeditionary force cluster, for General Steven, it is a timely rain, after Major General Smith mediated, he very readily agreed to Gao Jianwu's request, and ordered the local beautiful country flight team to cooperate with the expeditionary force cluster air force.

In this way, after the convergence of the Expeditionary Force Cluster Air Force and the two flight squadrons of the beautiful country, nearly 180 Mustang fighters were assembled at Hengzhou Airport, although it was nearly twice as bad as the nearly 400 fighters of the little devils, but considering that the main force of the little devil fighters was mainly Type 97 fighters, mixed with the Nakajima Type 1, plus a small number of Type 97 heavy crit planes and dozens of the most advanced Zero fighters in Xiaori.

In terms of strength, the expeditionary force cluster and the Allied air force did not suffer from it. In the face of the Type 97 fighter, the Mustang fighter has an overwhelming advantage, as long as the Xiaori Zero fighter is killed, the air force of the little devil will not be troubled.

If the Ninth Theater cooperates, Gao Jianwu has a complete chance of winning the first battle in Tanzhou, but now it is obvious that cooperation is impossible, and the Ninth Theater is not interested in Gao Jianwu's suggestion at all, and Gao Jianwu can only do it alone, so he must solve it by himself in terms of weaponry and logistics.

This is a big problem for the expeditionary force cluster that is lone to the north. After all, a big war, weapons, ammunition and other materials are consumed enormously. Now that the expeditionary force cluster is deep into the interior, the Allied forces can no longer carry out timely replenishment.

Fortunately, when the expeditionary force group arrived in Hengzhou, Gao Jianwu was warmly welcomed by the local Tenth Army.

"Commander-in-Chief Gao, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to be happy. On behalf of the 10th Army, I warmly welcome the expeditionary force cluster to Hengzhou. The commander of the 10th military said with some excitement.

Gao Jianwu couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Commander Fang's appearance really didn't look like he was pretending. However, it did not prevent him from reacting to the friendliness of the other military commander.

"Commander Fang is polite, the expeditionary force is clustered up and down, and this time I came to Hengzhou, just to fight devils in the War of Resistance, and I have no other intentions." Gao Jianwu said, "Gao has long heard that Commander Fang has been fighting bloody battles on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War for a long time, and has made many military exploits, and he is worthy of being a famous general in China's anti-Japanese war." ”

"Commander-in-Chief Gao praised, who doesn't know that the expeditionary force cluster is the strongest anti-Japanese team in the world, killing countless enemies, today I have the honor to meet with Commander Gao, it is really the luck of Fang's life, please, welcome Commander-in-Chief Gao and colleagues of the expeditionary force cluster to Hengzhou. Fang Mou has a little thin wine, be sure to ask Commander Gao and the generals to appreciate it! ”

Hearing Gao Jianwu's words, Commander Fang's face was even more attentive, the sedan chair was carried by people, Gao Jianwu looked very young, but Commander Fang's eyes were not blind, and when he saw the crowd of people in the expeditionary force behind Gao Jianwu, he knew that this was indeed a strong army in the world.

Commander Fang is now in a somewhat embarrassing situation in the Ninth Theater, and he has long had a discord with the Ninth Theater Commander's Department, and there is even a division in his department that has been requisitioned by the Ninth Theater and cannot return to Hengzhou.

Therefore, for the arrival of the expeditionary force cluster, Commander Fang was very pleased.

Gao Jianwu and his entourage entered Hengzhou City with Commander Fang, and as for the large army, naturally someone guided them to camp outside Hengzhou City.

At this moment, the little devil has not moved, and Gao Jianwu is not good at forcibly going to Tanzhou, at this time, he saw that Commander Fang was so polite, although now he didn't know that this was a confrontation between Commander Fang and the Ninth Theater Commander's Department, but of course it was a good thing to have a foothold.

......

Three days later, the little devil 11th Army really launched a ferocious attack, the little devil commander Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu has been planning for a long time, and he has long been prepared for the target in front of him, once it is launched, it will be a thunderbolt, the Ninth War Zone can't resist it for a while, and the defense area began to lose one after another, so that the main force of the Little Devil 11th Army soon approached Tanzhou!
