"Baga, the shore defense is attacked, why don't you send reinforcements to fight back? What, the enemy has dispatched 2 fleets, and tens of thousands of people have already landed in the north of Jiayi and Tainan? How is it possible, the enemy fell directly from the sky?

You've confirmed that the other party is Task Force Southeast? And a large number of tanks appeared on the Jiayi coastline? Lieutenant General Hase, the governor of Wanwan Island, burst into flames when he heard this.

The enemy who said that he was just putting smoke bombs to cover the actions of the allied forces on Latte Island and Luzon Island, why there was no movement over there, but he was beaten hard by his side.

"Resist, you give me to resist in Jiayi, the commander of the Kumamoto Division has already sent reinforcements, and they will arrive from time to time, and more reinforcements are also being mobilized." Lieutenant General Hagatani didn't consider the difficulties of Jiayi's defenders at all, and directly ordered.

"Sugimoto-kun, we must ask you and your troops to buy time and hold the enemy troops who landed for more than 10 hours! The Empire now needs you to drag the enemy forces to Jiayi. We must concentrate our efforts on destroying the enemy forces in Jiayi. ”

"Hey, the lowly rank swears to serve Tian Huang to the death!" Jiayi's defender Sugimoto shouted through gritted teeth.

Although he had long known that he had no chance of survival, the information he had just received from the reconnaissance from the front was desperate, and there was no possibility of resisting it at all.

On the one hand, not only did the enemy have a fleet that had sailed to Budai Harbor, but also a large number of tanks and heavy artillery, as well as countless soldiers, who according to preliminary reconnaissance had already landed, numbered at least 10,000.

On the other hand, because the defensive position of Budai Harbor fell too quickly, the first round of attacks launched by the Allied fleet began to report, and only thirty minutes later, Sugimoto Nakazuo never received a report on the battle situation of the defenders of Budai Harbor.

This means that in more than half an hour, the coastal defense position that was originally thought to be very solid has completely collapsed, and it is the defensive position of a whole three brigades, and according to normal logic, it is not a problem to hold on for a few days, and a few hours is completely no problem.

After all, they had a full-fledged defensive position, supported by an artillery brigade in the rear.

Although Sugimoto didn't know much about the situation at the scene, the enemy's powerful and accurate attack ability really made Sugimoto Chuzuo shudder.

Relatively speaking, the defensive position on the side of Jiayi County is not as perfect as that on the side of Budaigang. But they will face more firepower, in addition to naval artillery, the enemy now has more tanks and a large number of artillery into the attack, with the toes to think that the future of Jiayi's side is no different from that of Budai Harbor.

The problem is only the length of time.

But Sugimoto Zhongzuo must not run away, so that the Allied side can comfortably take an advance base, after putting down the phone, Sugimoto Zhongzuo thought for a while, and his face showed a trace of ruthlessness.

"Order, only one brigade will be left in the forward position to defend, and the rest of the troops will all retreat into the city and rely on civilian houses and streets for defense!"

Sugimoto gritted his teeth and picked up the phone again, issuing orders to his subordinates.

This time, he wants to live and die with Jiayi, dragging the enemy to the death in the city street battle.

......

On the other hand, the wharf of Budai Port, which is in full swing, is extremely busy, and large-scale unloading of goods has begun.

The first batch of tanks arrived with a full hundred, enough to be grouped into 5 tank companies, although it was much worse than the 300 required by Gao Jianwu, but it was enough for the current little devils.

In terms of artillery, of course, it is not as exaggerated as Gao Jianwu said, and thousands of guns with a caliber of more than 75 mm are directly obtained, but there are quite a few.

48 155-mm howitzers were transported, and Gao Jianwu's two heavy artillery regiments were rearmed;

108 105-mm howitzers arrived, which exactly formed 6 battalions of 105-mm howitzer suppressive fire;

216 75-mm howitzers, 12 support artillery battalions were rebuilt.

72 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 anti-aircraft artillery battalions were formed.

In this way, the artillery attack group of the Southeast Task Force is basically the same as the original, and even half of these artillery battalions are old foundations, and the other half are newly trained artillerymen.

Before, Gao Jianwu asked for 1,000 cannons of more than 75 mm, in fact, it was just talking, if he really gave him so many cannons, I am afraid that the artillery will not be able to get together.

】

100 155mm howitzers, that would have to be 4 heavy artillery regiments, and the remaining 900 artillery guns also need to be organized into 50 artillery battalions, where did Gao Jianwu find so many artillery, unless most of the artillery battalions in the Eighth Road were pulled over.

Obviously, this is impossible, but Gao Jianwu is asking for a sky-high price, and now this configuration is the number of artillery that Gao Jianwu currently needs, of course, if there are two more 155mm heavy artillery regiments, Gao Jianwu will be able to bear it, and the attack speed will be faster.

There will be some follow-up artillery, but that is the supply to make up for the battle damage, and the number will not be as large as it is now.

After all six attack groups have landed, each attack group will be equipped with two 75-mm artillery battalions as support artillery directly under the attack group, which will be used for the battalion-level main attack artillery support firepower at the front line, and one anti-aircraft artillery battalion will be used as anti-aircraft firepower and a counterattack weapon for the little devil thin-skinned pee-ding tank.

For example, now, Gao Jianwu plans to take 2 heavy artillery regiments and 3 105mm howitzer battalions to follow the 3rd and 2nd attack groups south to attack Tainan and Kaohsiung.

The first attack group took 3 battalions of 105mm howitzers to take Jiayi and establish a defensive line, waiting for the subsequent 3 attack groups to land on a large scale at Budai Harbor.

But in terms of mortars, this time the Allies really invested in it, and each main battalion was equipped with 12 M1 81mm mortars (mortar company) and 27 M2 60mm mortars (deployed to the squad) and 9 Bazooka rocket launchers (deployed to the platoon).

It can be said that the allocation of small artillery has reached the limit, and in order to support the consumption of such a large number of artillery shells, the Allies consumed 2 large transport ships in terms of ammunition transportation alone.

At the same time, it is also because this operation can be replenished by sea transportation, which greatly reduces the pressure on logistics and transportation.

Now He Ming's military camp near the port of Xiamen Island is the center of the Allied army's transfer of weapons and ammunition, and the entire Xiamen Island has been taken over by the Allied side, and the 157th Division on the Guozhu side is not allowed to enter, just to prevent news leakage and sabotage.

"Hurry up, hurry up, over there in the second attack group, the little devils are starting to attack wildly!" Zeng Sen, the commander of the 3rd Assault Group, kept urging his troops to collect their weapons and ammunition and set off immediately.

Gao Jianwu, who set off first, had already taken the destroyer of the Demoor fleet to the south when Budai Harbor was initially decided, preparing to join the Hutt fleet and begin an offensive against Tainan and Kaohsiung.

And the Demore fleet, which completed the mission, continued to stay near Budai Harbor to carry out long-range artillery bombardment of Jiayi's little devils and cover the personnel transportation of the fishing boat brigade.

After unloading the transport fleet, it returned to Xiamen to continue transporting new supplies.

Everything is running at high speed in an orderly manner.

.....

"Headquarters, the position of the 1st battalion was shelled by the little devils, and it was visually detected as the little devil mountain artillery brigade, requesting to call for air support and destroy the little devil artillery positions!"

"Headquarters, the position of the 2nd Battalion was shelled by the little devils, and the little devils dispatched 4 92 infantry guns and 4 mountain guns to request air support!"

......

Lu Fan, who commanded the second attack group of the southeast task force, received the information for help from the first line of interception one after another, and his head was about to grow, and their second attack group was responsible for blocking the counterattack route of the little devils in the south to seize Budai Port, and at this moment set up three lines of defense within 5 kilometers to the south.

As the best defensive Lu Fan under Gao Jianwu, the strongest firepower in his hands at the moment is the M2 81 mm mortar, and the number is still relatively small, due to the limited transportation weight, the mortars brought by the fishing boats are only 40, and the shells are a base, and each main battalion is now allocated only 4 guns.

Compared with their previous battles, it was a world of difference, so in the face of the crazy shelling of the little devils, the 1st and 2nd battalions of the first line of resistance were a little unbearable.

After all, artillery bombardment, they simply do not have this capital, the mortar platoon has to disperse mobile combat, in the face of the little devil artillery fired a shot and retreat, the accuracy is naturally not high, the main starting point harassment effect, reduce the pressure of forward positions to be shelled.

But the actual effect is not great.

When Budai Port was being attacked, the Kumamoto Division, the defender of Tainan, received a report from the little devils in the port defense position where Sugimoto turned left, and soon Lieutenant General Kumamoto judged that this was a large-scale landing battle.

So he didn't hesitate to send 2 wings and an artillery brigade as the first wave of reinforcements, but they still didn't move as fast as Gao Jianwu and their attacks.

As soon as the main force of the Kumamoto Division arrived at the first line of defense of the second attack group of Lu Fan, this group of little devils received the news that Budai Harbor had been captured.

But this made Lieutenant General Kumamoto even more frantic, and successively issued orders for these two wings to attack at all costs, and it was necessary to recapture Budai Harbor.

As a senior commander, Lieutenant General Kumamoto did not need to be reminded by Lieutenant General Hase to know that the enemy's capture of Budai Harbor was to transport heavy weapons and ammunition.

Although it is not yet clear how the enemy transported them across the strait, Lieutenant General Kumamoto is very sure that these enemies will not have many heavy weapons.

Because heavy weapons must be carried by transport ships, weapons such as tanks must be carried by special transport ships.

Therefore, it is necessary to rush to attack before the enemy's heavy weapons arrive, and this is their only chance.

It's a pity that he only has so much strength in his hands, he has already sent two of the three wings of a garrison division and regiment, and he has also sent out an artillery brigade, and there is only one infantry wing and some auxiliary arms wings left in Tainan.

This is the least number of troops to defend Tainan, after all, Tainan, as a big city in the south, needs to defend more points, a wing is separated, and there is not even a brigade in one aspect, and this time is almost the emptiest time for Tainan.

If Gao Jianwu and the others still have an attack group that directly bypasses the main force of the Kumamoto Division to attack Tainan, Vice Admiral Kumamoto's only way is to ask the Navy Red Deer guys.

Kaohsiung is not far from Tainan, and if the army and navy of the little devil were as close as a family, these would have been a problem for a long time, but the discord between the navy and the army is no longer a one-day problem.

Vice Admiral Kumamoto remembered the domineering appearance of Vice Admiral Takagi Takeo, and after dispatching the troops, he naturally dialed the phone with Vice Admiral Hase, and he could not mobilize the team under Vice Admiral Takagi Takeo in Takao to reinforce and recapture Budai Port, so it would be better to kick this ball to Vice Admiral Hase, who is the governor of Wanwan Island.

After all, Vice Admiral Hase, who was born in the navy, has the same rank as the current Vice Admiral Takagi, but Vice Admiral Hase's qualifications are more profound, and he is now in charge of the entire Wanwan Island, and there is no problem in commanding Vice Admiral Takagi.

Vice Admiral Kumamoto was right, and it didn't take long for him to receive a call from Vice Admiral Takeo Takagi, who very politely consulted with him on the coordination of the navy and the army.

A 20,000-strong Navy Special Marine Corps is about to go north to support, and at the same time, the naval fleet and naval aviation stationed in Kaohsiung will also be in full attack!

Not only that, but the little devil of the clock will also immediately dispatch a mixed brigade, and an army aviation flying team has taken off to prepare to bomb the Allied forces in Budai Harbor.

......

Here it is, and now the little devil's counterattack is finally here. Gao Jianwu received a prompt from the intelligence system and knew everything about the little devil's counterattack, two brigades and a division-level little devil were ready to gather in Jiayi to counterattack the newly landed southeast task force.

Coupled with two flying teams and a fleet, the little devil can be regarded as using all his strength. If Gao Jianwu didn't have any intelligence, he might have to suffer a little loss this time on the Allied side. After all, the little devils' troops are not vegetarians, and they basically concentrate all their main forces in the central and southern parts of Wanwan Island.

"General Demor, please immediately tell General Hutt that the little devil's fleet in Kaohsiung has been dispatched, and this time the two cruisers and four destroyers of the little devil's Kaohsiung fleet are exhausted, please be careful." After Gao Jianwu digested and absorbed the information, he turned his head to General Demore and said.

"What, the little devil's fleet is out?" Although General Demore did not know where Gao Jianwu got the information, he was convinced of what Gao Jianwu said.

"Two cruisers and four destroyers, that's all the strength of a detachment. General Hurt's detachment consisted of only one battleship and four destroyers, and it was probably a little difficult to deal with. Let's go for reinforcements right now. ”

"Nope. Please tell Admiral Hutt to move closer to us and lure the imp's fleet over. This time we use the Air Force to solve them. Gao Jianwu said.

He mentally calculated the distance, if he led the little devil fleet to the vicinity of Jiayi. There are at least three hours left.

Before that, the little devil's air force will arrive early. If it goes well, the Lu Xingguo Air Force Attack Group and Major General Smith's flight team, which are still hidden in ambush in the clouds, will teach the little devil's Air Force how to behave in the next life.

"According to our intelligence, the air force of the little devils has already departed. It won't be long before it's the turn of our Air Force to show its skills. Inadvertently, Gao Jianwu released another shocking news, which shocked General DeMoore a little.

However, he didn't care very much, after all, Gao Jianwu's side passed too much intelligence information in and out, and the situation of the entire battlefield was constantly transmitted to the temporary command center on the Phoenix through radio and walkie-talkies.

The forty or fifty people of the entire headquarters of the Southeast Task Force are here, and they guard more than a dozen walkie-talkies and several high-power radios, continuously collecting and summarizing the intelligence of various assault groups on the front line, as well as Xiamen and the rear, and then transferring it to Gao Jianwu's side for decision-making.

"Call Major General Smith immediately, the little devil's Zero fighter squadron of more than 40 fighters will arrive in his airspace in ten minutes; Call the Lu Xingguo Air Force Attack Group, more than 60 fighters from the little devil Nakajima Ichi Flying Team from Taizhong will arrive in his airspace in about 20 minutes! After Gao Jianwu finished speaking to Demoore, he turned his head and said to his communications staff.

This battle has only really begun to enter the state now, and the battle like this in Budai Harbor can't even be said to be a warm-up.

"Order the tank attack group to set off immediately, rush to the first line of defense of the second attack group, cover the first line of defense troops to retreat alternately, and don't fight hard with the little devils.

The third attack group speeded up the rearmament, with the main battalion as the unit, and set off for the second attack group after completing the redressing, and set off to meet the second attack group, and be sure to take over the third line of defense of the second attack group, and replace the third attack group back to Budai Port for reequipment.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th battalions of the 105-mm artillery followed the vanguard of the 3rd Assault Group to the 3rd line of defense and set up artillery positions, followed by the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment. ”

Gao Jianwu dictated his orders as he wrote, and after letting the communications staff officers check that they were correct, he issued this series of new orders.

The little devil's sudden big move made Gao Jianwu have to change some of his plans. Although the little devil poured out of the nest, which was a bit of a surprise to Gao Jianwu, it was not a big problem.

Now heavy weapons and the main forces have landed. The little devil's reaction was already half a beat slower, and it wasn't decisive enough. The fighters of Moss North and Hualien Little Devil Air Base, the little devils are still reluctant to release them to fight Gao Jianwu and them to the death.

Maybe the little devil still doesn't know that Gao Jianwu and they have concentrated nearly two hundred Mustang fighters in the airspace from Jiayi to Tainan, thinking that they can regain control of the situation by dispatching more than 100 fighters.

After Gao Jianwu finished commanding, he closed his eyes and immersed his mind in the huge three-dimensional high-precision map in his mind, imagining that after the little devil air force, fleet, and ground troops were dispatched, according to their marching speed, he re-marked the location of progress on the map in his mind, and only after calculating and confirming that there were no major mistakes in his plan, did he reopen his eyes.

"General Demore, we will hand over the air to General Smith and them, now we will move south to the sea area of Dongjiyu, form a horn with the Hutt fleet moving north, ambush the little devil's fleet there, and wait for the victory of the air force in the operation, return to the Xiamen airfield to replenish fuel and ammunition and return to the war zone."

Although Gao Jianwu decided to let the Air Force deal with the Little Devil Fleet, he would definitely not focus his hopes on one direction, in case the Air Force did not complete the battle in time, and the Little Devil's fleet broke into the vicinity of the second and third attack groups' blocking positions, then it would be a special one.

Therefore, Gao Jianwu had to prepare with both hands to isolate the little devil fleet from the land battlefield.

Gao Jianwu said as he simply sketched out the situation of the enemy and me on the map. At a glance, General Demore understood Gao Jianwu's intentions very well.

"No problem, Gao, without the Air Force, we can also kill the little devils." General DeMoore said confidently.

If it was just General Hurt's one battleship and four destroyers against the two cruisers and four destroyers of the little devils, maybe the battle would still be five or five.

After all, according to intelligence, the flagship of the Kaohsiung Devil Fleet stationed in Kaohsiung, the heavy cruiser, has 10 203-mm twin-mounted naval guns, and the other Myo-high-class heavy cruiser has five twin-mounted 203-mm naval guns.

In contrast, General Hurt's battleship was a North Carolina-class battleship, with three triple 45 times caliber 406 mm main guns and 10 twin 38 times caliber 127 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, which were much weaker than the two heavy cruisers of the Little Devil Fleet in terms of firepower.

One-on-one distance, General Hurt's battleship can naturally torture the little devil's heavy cruiser, but as soon as the battle starts, there is not so much ideal environment, if the two heavy cruisers of the little devil form a group fighting posture as soon as they come up, and even surround the four destroyers of General Hurt's flagship and suppress his maneuvering range, then General Hutt will be in big trouble!

Gao Jianwu's suggestion to go south to flank the little devil fleet was right for General Demor.

After all, with his Phoenix, although the main gun is 5 triple 152mm naval guns, which is much weaker than the 203mm naval guns of the two heavy cruisers of the little devil, it can still entangle a little devil heavy cruiser, so that there is a chance for General Hurt to grind another heavy cruiser to death first, and then the two ships work together to kill him.

After the other two fleets were combined, the number of destroyers also greatly exceeded that of the little devil destroyers, and they directly let the destroyer group beat the little devil destroyers, and finally used the face of the little devil heavy cruiser to use the torpedo attack, although the casualties may be a bit large, but this naval battle will eventually be won by them.

Therefore, the southward combined attack is more in line with General Demore's wishes.

For his part, General DeMoore still wanted to solve the battle in a way that he could understand. If the Air Force can help, of course, it will be the icing on the cake, but in terms of battle planning, even without the Air Force, they will be able to win this battle.

Due to the lack of reference on the sea surface, Gao Jianwu did not have such a great effect on the map in his mind for the battle between warships. After all, that map is a dead thing, and these ships are not listed on the map.

Even if it is displayed in three dimensions, the sea surface is the same, and it is impossible to distinguish at all, unlike on the ground, where there are different terrain and landmark references that can be quickly located on the map.

So for the upcoming naval battle, Gao Jianwu could only sit in the command room and watch General Demore operate.
