312 Liberation (2nd Shift)
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please immediately transfer to the new headquarters, the enemy has already hit us with two rounds of naval guns, and now we have been locked in the target range by their naval guns, and we will be subjected to more intense artillery bombardment in the future." Squadron Leader Kobayashi, who was in charge of the security of the division headquarters, rushed into the headquarters and reported with an anxious face.
"The enemy has already locked the position of the division headquarters with naval guns, and now we have suffered heavy casualties." Squadron Leader Kobayashi still had blood on his face, apparently just a few rounds of 127-mm howitzers fell on the headquarters of the Suzuki Division, and his escort squadron had already suffered considerable losses.
Lieutenant General Suzuki Takanobu was of course aware of the current situation, and three shells exploded around his headquarters in succession, and some places had already begun to catch fire, but Suzuki Takanobu initially thought that it was caused by stray enemy bullets.
"Pack up the confidential documents and move in!" Suzuki Chongxin couldn't hold it anymore, and escaped from the division headquarters with a group of people in a hurry, due to the rush of time, they didn't have time to pack up all the secrets, and after packing up the most important things and taking them away, they simply set fire to their headquarters and burned their headquarters!
"Lao Li, what's the situation, why did the little devil headquarters burn such a big fire, and just now it was clear that a side room was lit?" On a two-story attic a few hundred meters from the Little Devil Headquarters, Fang Dazhi of the reconnaissance squadron of the commando brigade who came in looked at the target and suddenly burst into flames, and said to his partner Li Xing.
They were ordered to infiltrate the vicinity of the division headquarters to observe and provide reports on the surrounding situation, providing first-hand observation information for Gao Jianwu to lock on to the target.
"I see that the little devils are escaping in large numbers, no, they are trying to escape!" Li Xing, who had been observing the headquarters with a telescope, replied without raising his head, because the vicinity of the headquarters of the little devil division suddenly brightened after the fire broke out, and he could clearly see the clothes worn by the little devil.
"I saw a little devil in a general's uniform. Lao Fang, immediately inform the captain that the little devil headquarters is already transferring. There is no longer a value for shelling here. ”
Watching Suzuki Chongxin and his entourage go out and get into the car, Li Xing decisively ordered Fang Dazhi next to him, while staring closely at the direction where the little devil was going, Fang Dazhi, who was carrying a walkie-talkie next to him, immediately called Song Tiecheng to report the latest situation.
"Let's go to a taller building over there, and see if we can observe the place where these little devils are moving." After Li Xing judged the direction of the transfer of Suzuki Chongxin's group of little devils for a while, he briefly observed the surroundings, and there was a three-story building on the right side of him, which was the highest place in the vicinity.
】
The two immediately ran down from the attic, due to the cruel rule of the little devils. There are not many local residents left on the island. Li Xing and Fang Dazhi's actions were basically undisturbed.
Soon they were running to the three-story building, which was a small courtyard surrounded by walls. Looking at the iron lock at the gate, it is clear that this is another place where no one lives.
After all, the people who can afford to live in this kind of building are rich people, and they have run away long before the little devil comes.
The two of them glanced around, and saw that there was a big tree growing against the wall next to them, and they immediately had an idea, and the two of them climbed the tree and jumped to the wall, and then jumped down into the small courtyard.
The building in the small courtyard was also the door of General Tie, Li Xing didn't say a word, knocked off the glass with the butt of a gun against the window on the first floor, climbed in through the window, and trotted all the way up to the platform on the top floor.
Sure enough, the field of vision here is wider, and the bright lights around him are all in full view, Suzuki Chongxin's motorcade has not stopped at the moment, although Li Xing can no longer see the figure clearly, but the lights of the car expose Suzuki Chongxin's position.
Li Xing watched as the car drove to a courtyard near the sea to the west and stopped.
"Lao Li, tell the captain that the little devil headquarters escaped and ran to the west of the port, let's go over and see the specific situation, if the captain wants to capture the little devil general alive, immediately send two squads to meet us, there are about two squads of the little devil general's escort at present."
Li Xing looked at the 5 trucks that escaped from the little devil headquarters, plus a small car, and judged that the little devil was probably the strength of the two squads. For such a little devil, there are two squads that are enough to clean them up.
.....
"General Demore, the headquarters of the Suzuki Division has been destroyed by us, and now what we need to shell is a street position where the 357th Wing of the little devils is stationed, where the little devils rely on street fortifications and civilian houses to form several street defense lines, shelling coordinate parameters xx, direction angles..."
On the fleet, after receiving Song Tiecheng's latest report, he immediately stopped the operation of shelling the little devil's headquarters, and according to the information transmitted by another group of observation posts in front, he quickly locked on a street defense position of the little devil on Xiamen Island, where the two squadrons of the little devil blocked the street and formed several lines of defense.
With the description of the observation post, Gao Jianwu quickly confirmed the specific location of the street from the three-dimensional map and checked the target coordinates.
Soon, Gao Jianwu provided the fleet with new artillery parameters, although General Demore could not see the final result, but he knew that on this island, Gao Jianwu's people estimated that they had infiltrated a lot, after all, the three forts were taken down, so that General Demore saw the courage of Gao Jianwu for the first time.
Sure enough, Major General Smith did not brag, and Gao Jianwu's troops were indeed very capable of fighting.
"No problem, let's adjust the muzzle orientation immediately!" Demore did not grind, and immediately issued an order according to the shelling Zhuyuan provided by Gao Jianwu.
Frankly, De Moore could not have imagined that one night his fleet would be able to carry out accurate artillery bombardment of all kinds of invisible targets, and if they had fought this battle, it would have been possible to wash the entire island with shells.
Although in terms of effect, it can also annihilate the little devil on the island, but in terms of time and cost, it is completely different from the precision strike of Gao Jianwu's surgical room.
General DeMoore was very puzzled by Gao Jianwu's ability to quickly convert the information provided by the forward reconnaissance post into artillery parameters, and he never imagined that one day, someone would be able to accurately judge the position by using other people's observations and descriptions, and then convert it into the parameters of the shelling Zhuyuan.
However, judging from the location of the fire in the distance after the shelling, Gao Jianwu's command was obviously not a blind command, and they even had front-line observation posts to observe the effect of the shelling and guide Gao Jianwu to correct the shelling target!
"Gao, did you fight like this before?" After General Demore gave the order, he couldn't help but ask.
"In what way?" Gao Jianwu was a little puzzled.
"It's your men who act as eyes in front to observe the situation, and you command the artillery to carry out the shelling like this?" General DeMoore said, "I have never seen an artillery commander with such a skill as yours, tell me how you did it?" ”
"Oh, that's the case" Gao Jianwu couldn't help but scratch his head, how can this be explained? They didn't control it for a while and exposed this hand to friendly troops, and they were used to it in their own troops, so no one had ever asked such a question.
"General Demore, I am personally sensitive to the map, generally before the war I will be familiar with the map of the war zone, I have a certain understanding of the streets and well-known buildings in the war zone, as long as the accuracy of the map is accurate enough, I can quickly calculate the relative distance between the two locations, so as to convert it into shelling parameters."
Gao Jianwu stubbornly explained. Frankly speaking, there are no maps that are too accurate in this era, and even the errors in the middle of the combat maps are not a lot. Without an accuracy of 100 meters, it is already considered a high-precision map. So what Gao Jianwu said is nonsense, although it is impeccable from a theoretical point of view.
However, General Demore himself knew in his heart, this should be a highly confidential of Gao Jianwu, and he should not tell him the specific things, so he smiled and said that he understood. At least this person is still his ally and comrade-in-arms, facing the same enemy, and the stronger the opponent's ability, the smaller the casualties of his own country.
No wonder Major General Smith was able to follow Gao Jianwu to achieve such great results. In today's situation, General Demore himself also picked up a big bargain, because of the threat to his fleet, the largest fort was taken by Gao Jianwu's men in one fell swoop.
The other two big threat fighters and fleets were destroyed by Rear Admiral Smith during the day.
So now he can sit comfortably on the ship, drinking coffee and chatting, while destroying the little devil's positions one after another according to the goal commanded by Gao Jianwu.
General D'Moore never imagined that one day he would be so easily involved in a battle to annihilate a small devil division, considering that they had never been so easy in the Pacific.
On Xiamen Island, Gao Jianwu relied on the artillery fire of the assault brigade and the fleet to eliminate the assembled little devils one after another, so that Song Tiecheng and they did not encounter a decent counterattack at all, after all, on the seized forts, in addition to large-caliber giant guns, there were also some 75mm mountain guns, which could directly target the little devils close to the forts.
Now the little devils can't organize a large-scale counterattack at the brigade level, the squadron level rushes over the mountain artillery, and there is basically not much left, under the Type 43 assault rifle and the Browning machine gun, these little devils wrapped in white cloth and charged like a mourner walked very happily, and fell in front of the battery in groups.
They didn't have as many opportunities for Song Tiecheng to make a roundabout breakthrough, and the little devil's machine gun fire point couldn't form a cover fire at all under the blow of the Bazooka rocket.
The only threatening grenadier was also faced with the dimensionality reduction blow of the Bazooka rocket, and it had no power to resist.
......
"The little devil is on board?" Li Xing and Fang Dazhi followed Suzuki Chongxin and his party to the vicinity of the port, but saw a gunboat flying away.
This special meow ran away directly.,Don't be ashamed.,Say good bushido spirit.。
Li Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Call the captain, call the captain, the little devil ran away in a gunboat!" Li Xing turned on the walkie-talkie microphone from Fang Dazhi's chest and called directly.
"Squad Hunt Cancelled, Repeat, Squad Hunt Cancelled!"
originally thought that they had caught a big fish, but now that the fish has run away, Li Xing and Fang Dazhi are more or less frustrated, after all, this time they are very likely to catch the division commander of a little devil!
That's how the fish got off the hook!
On the other side, Gao Jianwu received Song Tiecheng's report, his face was a little strange, he probably knew that the destination of these little devils to escape should be Jingmen Island not far away, he chose to attack tonight, just to avoid letting the little devils on Jingmen Island stir up the situation, and there are only 2 attack groups gathered in his hands now.
Now that Zhao Dalei is presiding over the attack on Xiamen, it is actually a test for Gao Jianwu for him.
There are too few high-level talents in Gao Jianwu's hands who can take charge of themselves now, because now the more powerful ones have been released to take charge of themselves, just like Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, these ruthless people are now in charge of one aspect.
There are not too many little devils on Jingmen Island, but they are not few, at least there is a brigade-sized little devil Marine on it.
It's just that during the day, Rear Admiral Smith bombarded and wiped out their fleet, even if the little devils on Jingmen Island wanted to stir up the situation, they didn't have the ability.
"General Demore, there is a big fish that you may be interested in, the division commander of the Suzuki division may have escaped in a gunboat towards Jingmen Island, and at this time sending a destroyer may be able to catch them, are you interested in catching this big fish?" Gao Jianwu did not hide this latest news.
For many people, a lieutenant general division commander is a great achievement, but for Gao Jianwu, it doesn't matter who catches him, anyway, he is here, and the explosive outfit will not be missing him, this lieutenant general division commander, that is, a new tank battalion, it doesn't matter if it is given to Demoore, Demoore was really moved when he heard it.
"Gao, today I handed over the command of the fleet to you, you can fight as you say" Rear Admiral Demore said, he is self-aware, the dark lights are blind at night, and he has no one to reconnoiter the situation everywhere on the island, even the target of the attack does not know where it is, fortunately, there is Gao Jianwu, this Eastern God of War, who has been very popular recently, has proven his strength in front of him, and Major Admiral DeMoore has a tendency to become a friend of Rear Admiral Smith.
"If they have already entered the sea, we may have nothing to do with Suzuki Chongxin, but since they are still near Xiamen Island, there is only one way to get to Jingmen Island, and we will block them." Gao Jianwu had a map in his mind, and queried out the coordinates of the mouth of Xiamen Island and reported it to Major General Demoor.
The three destroyers immediately set off and went straight to the sea area designated by Gao Jianwu.
......
On the other side, as soon as Suzuki Chongxin ran away, the two wings deployed by the little devil on this side of the land were completely separated, Zhao Dalei had a powerful firepower suppression in his hands, as well as a big killer weapon like a tank and a local snake like He Ming's Security Independent Brigade, which was familiar with the local area.
The battle on the land side of the reconquest did not last long, even if they did not have Gao Jianwu to provide naval artillery support on the Allied fleet, but after Song Tiecheng seized the fort, the little devil's biggest threat to Zhao Dalei was removed.
As for the little devil's remaining mountain artillery or 92 infantry artillery, it really didn't pose much threat to Zhao Dalei through the coordinated advance of infantry artillery and infantry and tan, and when he encountered the little devil, he directly pushed it over, this kind of unreasonable tactic, Suzuki's division could not resist it at all.
Therefore, when Gao Jianwu stopped the fleeing Suzuki Chongxin little devils on the sea from Xiamen to Jingmen Island, Zhao Dalei almost completed the annihilation of the two wings of the Suzuki division on the land side, and successfully sent the two main battalions to Xiamen Island and began to attack the remaining wing of the little devils on the island.
Even if there was a night battle and street fighting, Zhao Dalei also completed this battle very well, with the street fighting tactics based on the commando squad, using powerful firepower to teach the little devils how to fight street battles, Song Tiecheng After they were replaced from the temporary artillery position of the battery, they used the elusive and powerful individual firepower to pinch the little devils who tried to kill and injure a large number of task forces in the street battles in the streets and houses.
In terms of firepower, tactics or individual ability, Song Tiecheng's assault brigade is much better than the little devils in an all-round way.
After a night of fierce fighting, the summer gate is restored! As for those puppet legions, after the regiment commander and other leaders were cleared, most of the remaining soldiers were reorganized by He Ming's Security Independent Brigade, and when the 157th Division heard that Xiamen Guangfu was coming in a hurry, Zhao Dalei and He Ming had already cleaned up the battlefield.
Gao Jianwu knew that it was impossible for Xiamen to leave it to He Ming and them to develop, after all, there was still the strength of the preserved fruit here, although they were not strong, but there were many people, and now Gao Jianwu had no reason to turn against them, and he had to rely on the allies to knock down Wanwan Island, so Gao Jianwu had no way to pick peaches for the 157th Division.
However, he also has his own method, uniting Rear Admiral DeMoore and Rear Admiral Smith, and firmly holding the credit for the recovery of Xiamen in his hands, Rear Admiral DeMoore did not hesitate to sign his name for the battle report of the United Southeast Task Force to recover Xiamen, and in his hands, he really caught the big fish of Suzuki Chongxin to prove that his fleet is indeed one of the main forces in this battle!
This credit alone is enough for Major General De Moore to add an extremely important weight when he is promoted in the future!
Gao Jianwu has a new international friend born! This wave of using the commander of a wasted little devil division in exchange for the support of a new rear admiral of the Allied fleet is not a loss at all!
