319 Deadly little devils

The Battle of Latte Bay caused the Little Devil Navy to turn all its attention to Luzon. Even though they were now defeated, they still did not admit defeat, and there were still hundreds of thousands of troops over there ready to deal a fatal blow to the Allies on land, just like they did on the Pacific islands.

For Gao Jianwu, it is of course a great thing that someone shifts the focus. With his strength, when the little devil no longer sent reinforcements to Wanwan Island, he quickly took Jiayi, Tainan and Kaohsiung, and completely gained a firm foothold on the island.

The Takagi detachment, which was dealing with the fleets of De Moore and General Hutt in the strait, saw that it was useless, and received an order to retreat to reinforce the defense of the Ryukyus, which allowed Gao Jianwu to let go of his hands.

Not only did the sea and air base in Xiamen be greatly transferred to Kaohsiung, but the logistics of more than 1,000 Allied troops were left on the Xiamen side as a transit station, and now most of the supplies were directly escorted to Kaohsiung Port by General DeMoore's fleet.

originally didn't expect that Gao Jianwu would really succeed, but after Gao Jianwu broke General Mack's original idea, General Mack also admitted this reality, plus General Steven's strong advocacy, Rear Admiral Smith's air force and General Hutt's fleet became Kaohsiung's permanent troops, providing sea and air support for the Wanwan Island Raiders.

After Gao Jianwu launched an attack from the eastern part of Wanwan Island with an attack group, only He Ming, a reserve attack group, was left to guard Tainan and Kaohsiung, and then five attack groups pushed all the way along the western part of Wanwan Island.

With Gao Jianwu's superb artillery strike ability, as well as the close air cooperation between Lu Xingguo and Major General Smith, the little devil's strongholds on Wanwan Island were conquered one after another.

Jiayi's street fighting was directly shadowed by Song Tiecheng's assault brigade, so that they understood that after they dispersed into the civilian house, they were even more unable to resist in the face of the assault brigade's attack, and most of the little devils had not received street combat training, and the weapons were only 38 big covers and crooked machine guns, which were not suitable for street fighting at all.

The current assault brigade is now more and more experienced. They formed battle groups one by one, covering each other's attacks, leaving almost no chance with the little devils.

In this way, in the face of a street fighting team composed of a few little devils, once encountered, it will be crushed.

If there is a weakness in such a battle, it is that it is a little longer. But now Gao Jianwu is not in a hurry.

So when facing street fighting, let the assault brigade charge in front of you. While organizing each attack group to select elites to follow the assault team to learn how to fight in the streets, preparing to train a main battalion capable of fighting in each attack group.

After all, most of the battles that come next will probably be mostly urban street fighting. Seeing that Luzon Island and Wanwan Island were almost defeated, the base camp of the little devils also exploded.

Although they are reluctant to give up anywhere, they actually know that they must now think about how to deal with the loss of these two places.

Even the toughest diehards now have to think about the defense of their homeland. Because the actions of the Southeastern Contingent have shown that the fall of Wanwan Island is only a matter of time.

The Allies used Wanwan Island as a springboard and air attack base, and they were already able to perfectly control the air offensive against the Yangtze River Delta Devil Occupation Zone, Ryukyu, Kyushu, etc.

Now it is not possible to solve the problem by relying on the board, but to make up for the huge disadvantage of the navy losing its ability to counterattack after the Battle of the Gulf of Salt!

"Your ultimate mission is to sink all enemy ships or strike their vital bases. Tell them the fearless spirit of the locust army with courage and blood, and become the new god of Kudozaka. ”

At the base of the Fifth Air Force, Lieutenant General Takijiro Onishi, who had a sickly flushed face, shouted hoarsely at the more than 300 new soldiers who had just joined the air force for a few days and more than 100 so-called aviation flight instructors who had been in the industry for more than a year.

"The Empire needs someone to stand up and die in order to turn the tide, bury all the Allies in the sea, save the Empire, and now it's our turn, and we will be the saviors of the Empire for eternity.

Now the warriors who are willing to participate in the kamikaze team, please start registering, and the empire will ask you warriors! ”

After Onishi Tajiro finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the audience.

The little devils at the bottom roared one by one, rushing to the registration office. For these fanatical little devils, death is not what they fear.

So the mobilization of Takijiro Onishi played a very good role. Almost all the little devils have signed up for the kamikaze.

It's not just the little devil air force that is constantly looking for cannon fodder. On the army side, the little devils also began to pick out death squads one by one, specifically targeting the Allies to carry out suicide attacks.

From Luzon to Wanwan Island, the little devils suddenly changed their tactics and began to use this bloody tactic to launch an uninterrupted attack on the Allied side.

This time it was possible to get to the Allied side to start a headache. Because the situation faced by the little devils now is even more cruel than in history, their middle and upper-level generals have the determination of 100 million jade crushes earlier than in history, and put it into practice immediately after the Battle of Latte Bay.

The little devil kamikaze team, which was only loaded with one-way fuel and large aerial bombs, would stare at the Allied fleet like flies after detecting it, and they could launch suicide attacks day and night, which made the Allied fleet uncomfortable.

In the face of these pervasive flies, it was simply impossible to defend against them, and after the large-scale entry of the Allies into Luzon, the Allied fleet actually faced a second round of heavy losses.

In less than 5 days, two cruisers and 4 destroyers were lost, and one escort aircraft carrier was seriously damaged! This loss made the two elders, General Mack and General Nimi, furious, and they ordered all Allied warplanes to take off during the day and carry out a massive bombing of all the little devil airfields found near Luzon!

Hoping that these suicide fighters can be annihilated in the airfield, but their wish is good, but in fact it is difficult to do, the little devil has built a lot of field airfields on Luzon, and these airfields often have strong camouflage in the air and are difficult to find.

Later, the Allied fleet had to form a large air defense network to deal with the small-scale suicide attack of the little devils, although this tactic greatly tied the hands and feet of the Allied fleet, but effectively prevented the lack of air defense after dispersion, resulting in insufficient interception of the little devil suicide attack team.

The navy temporarily stopped the momentum of being frantically attacked by the little devil kamikaze special attack team, but the army side did not feel so well.

The little devils scattered and aimed at the camp of the Allied attack team, and constantly sent small groups of troops to launch outlaw night attacks, they did not think about going back, and often a squadron of a squadron sneaked into the camp with bombs strapped all over their bodies to carry out a sneak attack.

Once they were allowed to enter the camp, they often resulted in heavy losses on the part of the Allies.

This is not only true in Luzon, but also on Wanwan Island, where the tactics of the little devils have also been taught.

At the beginning, Gao Jianwu was also confused by the trick of the little devil.

After all, the terrain of Wanwan Island is also very complicated, and when the little devils give up their heavy weapons and start to run into the mountains and forests to play guerrilla warfare and suicide attacks, they are basically unable to prevent it.

These little devils have been operating on Wanwan Island for more than 50 years, and a large part of them are also very familiar with Wanwan Island, so when playing this tactic, Gao Jianwu, who hit the clock, could only choose to slow down the speed of the attack on the little devils.

Began to mobilize the masses on the ground.

"Folks, Wanwan Island is now recovered, we have to avenge you one by one for the bullying of the little devils in the past, the little devils used to oppress the harsh taxes of the villagers, and now we will cancel them all, and take back all the fertile land and factories occupied by the little devils, so that the cultivators have their fields and every household can eat their stomachs!"

In a village near Taizhong, Gao Jianwu personally presided over a land division meeting of more than 1,000 villages.

"Now, I announce the start of the land redivision conference in Dayu Village, and then, every household will come up to receive a permanent land contract certificate when they hear their names, 2 acres of land per person, with this certificate, in addition to paying 2 percent of the public grain every year, there will be no more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes!"

Below, the farmers of Wanwan Island, who were originally very unfamiliar with Gao Jianwu and the Southeast Task Force, obviously understood Gao Jianwu's words, and their eyes lit up one by one.

Although they have not yet figured out what a permanent contract certificate is, they understand that there are no taxes other than two acres of land per person and only two percent of the public grain.

"Long... Officer!" A middle-aged man leaning in front of him raised his hand and asked. "These lands belong to the landlords, we divide them, what should they do if they want to take them back?"

His words clearly hit the soft underbelly of most of the people present.

The landlords have dog legs, and the government supports them.

"There are no landlords, after we recover here, there are no little devils, and there are no landlords, their land will be directly distributed to everyone, their family guards must be disbanded, and then they must also cultivate and support themselves!"

Gao Jianwu said loudly to the people below who were pressed by the black.

"We are about to begin to enter a new society, in which thousands of peasant households have turned over to become masters, and we no longer need the landlords to ride on our heads! The organization will call the shots for everyone! ”

The landlords are all gone?

Hearing such amazing news, everyone present felt like a dream at first, but when Gao Jianwu began to ask people to go up and get the bright red seal of XX County, which clearly stated how many acres of land the XX family in XX Village, XX Township, although most of the people who received it were illiterate, but the bright red big seal on it clearly meant the government.

Has the government really changed now?

When they really saw that the landlords and lords were taken by the government to resettle, the landlords' families, who were originally arrogant and majestic, began to be low-key and did not jump out to take any measures against the division of land.

One by one, they finally began to believe that the sky had changed.

In this way, even if it is not the season of farming, they are busy working on the land assigned to them one by one!

Starting with the village of Heavy Rain, Gao Jianwu began large-scale changes in the southwestern part of the island under his occupation.

Gao Jianwu knew that Wanwan Island was still an agricultural society, and the little devils had only used it as a resource supply place for more than 50 years of occupation of Wanwan Island, so they retained a large number of landlords as the core ruling force for grain planting. The vast majority of land rents are at 50%, and some are even as high as 70%, which makes the social contradictions in the rural areas very acute, and at the same time, because of the high land rent, it is very beneficial to land investment, so that a considerable part of the funds are frozen on the land, restricting the investment of resources in other industries, and greatly hindering the economic development of Wanwan Island.

For the little devils, Wanwan Island is not a place where they want to develop wealthy, and the residents here are second-class or even third-class citizens.

Nearly ninety percent of the peasants live a life without food, which is not much different from that in the mainland, so Gao Jianwu directly talks about the land.

And this time it was more decisive, directly presiding over the work of equal division of land, reorganizing the local county, district and rural system, and at the same time, calling residents to count the land and directly dividing the land! In the future, farmers only need to pay 2 percent of the grain for planting, and they can not pay it in a poor harvest year!

Gao Jianwu wrote very clearly how many catties the yield per mu in the year of the poor harvest was lower than that, which made people understand it at a glance.

Compared with Gao Jianwu's policy in the mainland, it is much more intense, but this is a matter of no choice, if this is not done, Gao Jianwu does not know how long it will take to gain the hearts of the people here.

Only after he had divided the land and turned it into the peasant's own private property would these people join the Southeastern Task Force against anyone who wanted to take it away from them in order to keep their newfound private property.

Sure enough, Gao Jianwu's policy played an immediate role.

When he proposed the establishment of a militia escort to prevent the little devils from sabotaging, the local peasants enthusiastically joined the militia escort in their own township and village, and suddenly turned the occupied place into an ironclad base area!

This made the infiltration attack of the little devil quickly bankrupt, in this kind of monolithic base, not to mention the little devil whose face is completely different from others, even the local traitor team sent by the little devil can be recognized and reported by the locals at a glance!

There is no chance for the little devil to take advantage of it, after stabilizing the occupied area, Gao Jianwu began to push again, this time he implemented this reform policy every time he occupied a place, and directly turned the local peasants into his allies, with the previous experience and word-of-mouth spread, Gao Jianwu's actions have now become very effective.

There were even peasants in some places who came in advance to contact the southeastern contingent and demanded that their hometowns be recovered as soon as possible!

Compared with the Allied advance on Luzon Island, Gao Jianwu began the recovery of the speed of light on Wanwan Island at a speed that outsiders could not see through.
