"Iki Island is a group of little devil fortresses, there are dense reinforced concrete fortresses on this island, we don't need to fight them down here, there is no ship, they are not a threat to us at all, this time we will bypass him and attack here directly!"

Tsushima Temporary Headquarters, Gao Jianwu pointed to a place opposite Tsushima Island and said to the Grand Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.

The place he pointed to had a beach nearly 10 kilometers long and a port, which was indeed a good choice for landing on the beach.

"Because the beach here is gentle, there are no hills, it is a place for vacation, and there are no permanent fixed reinforced concrete fortress fortifications for any defense on the seaside, only a few brigades of little devils rely on four 150-mm shore defense guns to defend."

The entire island of Kyushu is relatively gentle, with a long coastline of more than 1,000 kilometers, and even if the little devils double the number of troops, it is impossible to defend all the coastlines tightly.

The key defensive forces were still placed on a few key points, including Fugang, Changqi, Xiongben, Zuohuo, Lu'er, and Gongqi.

Gao Jianwu chose the coastline near Gangyuan in the northeast corner of Kyushu, between Fukugang and Shimonoseki, about 130 kilometers away from Tsushima.

There is a natural beach resort there, and no matter how mad the little devils are, they still haven't completely destroyed this rare scenic spot with a fortress complex.

However, they also do not have the resources to fortify thousands of kilometers of coastline.

And the defense of the fortress without reinforced concrete construction is a low-hanging fruit for Gao Jianwu.

Within the range of naval guns, they are all places where Gao Jianwu strikes accurately.

According to the Fifth Detachment directly controlled by Gao Jianwu, the range of the guns of the weakest Fletcher destroyers is 15 kilometers, that is to say, within 12 kilometers offshore, almost all of them are areas controlled by Gao Jianwu.

Coupled with the support of the Air Force, there is nothing wrong with extending this control range to 30 kilometers.

"There is no big port here, we can't call for heavy transports, tanks and heavy artillery can't get there. If you face a frantic counterattack by the little devils, the landed infantry will be under tremendous pressure. The brigade commander looked at the place where Gao Jianwu pointed and found a major problem.

There is indeed only one fishing port for small ships, and ships over 3,000 tons cannot dock, and it is obvious that large ro-ro transports cannot get there.

"It doesn't matter, here, after we send 5 to 8 attack groups of infantry, and then rely on the support of our air and naval guns of the Fifth Detachment of the Navy, in the short term, without heavy artillery and tanks, we can also stand firm and control this area, and then after the main force is brought ashore, the first thing we want to seize is the natural harbor of Fugang, which is more than 40 kilometers away!

Bring our heavy weapons and baggage ashore through Fukukang to complete our first wave of raids! ”

Gao Jianwu's strategic steps and goals for attacking Kyushu Island were quite clear.

In his eyes, the Fifth Squadron is his strongest heavy artillery support force, and the Fifth Squadron under his personal command may be less efficient in attacking the fortress group, but for attacking coastal defense cities that lack large permanent fortresses, it is not for fun, with the guidance of accurate maps, he can knock out the little devil's heavy weapon defense points very finely, and then there are mountain artillery and 107 rocket artillery that follow the infantry ashore.

In particular, the small and delicate but powerful 107 rocket launcher, this is the first time it has been used on a large scale since its birth, and it has appeared on the battlefield at most in a company-level trial nature, and many people still don't know much about the power of this rocket artillery.

On Kyushu Island, Gao Jianwu will let it play the psychological shadow of a little devil!

"You want to use the elite equipped with weapons of our own manufacture to go ashore and fight first?" The brigade commander immediately saw through the real hidden intentions behind Gao Jianwu's deployment.

"Brigade Commander, I can't hide from your old man even if I think about it," Gao Jianwu smiled and said, "But there is one thing to say, what better way to advertise than to win the first battle on Kyushu Island?" This time, we not only want to use our elite weapons and troops to kill the little devils, but also to make a reputation for our self-made weapons at one time, and then the military industry will also be a big magic weapon for us to make money, especially the infantry weapons that we are about to shine on the battlefield. ”

"The little devil gave us such a good opportunity, and we didn't make good use of it, so wouldn't it be sorry for the little devil's hard work."

After listening to Gao Jianwu's words, the brigade commander couldn't help but shake his head.

Unlike other generals, the Grand Brigade Commander can be said to be one of the people who understands and applies Gao Jianwu's new weapons most deeply among today's high-level leaders.

Although for various reasons, these weapons have not been used on a large scale by troops above the size of assault groups, in local battalions and companies, the brigade commanders have fully seen the power of these weapons.

Type 43 assault rifles, in the hands of assault battalions and assault companies, that is really a good guy for siege, much more practical than light machine guns, with these assault rifles, you can even cancel the light machine gun in the assault battalion / company, and the charge firepower is no problem.

The only drawback is the cost of logistics.

A 30-round magazine, hold the trigger, it may be gone in tens of seconds, and a base number of bullets, when the battle is fierce, may be finished in more than ten minutes!

It's not much worse than the bullet cost of a machine gun. Therefore, during training, the first reminder point for veterans to recruits is to let them first divide into single or burst mode.

If you are not charging at a large group of enemies, you will generally use a single-shot mode to save bullets.

"Isn't it a bit risky to fight a big war with our own weapons on a large scale in the first battle on this island?" Li Yunlong asked worriedly, in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the US armament unit has been tested for a long time, and the run-in time has been for a long time, starting from the first expeditionary force expedition to the Burmese and British territories, and has fought a large number of little devils in Southeast Asia and Wanwan Island.

The rhythm of the battlefield can be perfectly controlled.

Li Yunlong pushed all the way from the peninsula, and the main force was also mainly based on American weapons, and he was familiar with it like a few treasures.

"Rest assured, the regiment commander, our weapons are only stronger than those of the United States!" Gao Jianwu said with a smile, just kidding, that is the old three sets of artifacts that have been fighting guerrilla warfare in time and space for decades in later generations, and they have been used on the little devils on a large scale in advance, and it can only be said that this little devil in time and space wants to pay off their debts for their little devils in another time and space!

Gao Jianwu didn't mean to cheap them at all.

"Also considering that we can transport at most one attack group in one wave, it will take four hours to arrive, and then it will take at least eight hours to transport to the second wave, and the assault group that lands first may encounter strong defensive pressure." The Grand Brigade Commander calculates the speed and capacity of the transport.

"Brigade commander, we now have air and the Fifth Fleet escort, and there is no big problem," Gao Jianwu said, "Since we are staggered with the southern landing attack, the Allies and our air force will concentrate more than 500 fighters of all kinds for air cover and support, and we will definitely not let the air force of the little devils or kamikaze fighters interfere with our landing operations."

In fact, the most difficult thing for us to guard against is the suicide attack aircraft of the little devils.

The little devil made a batch of fighters on a large scale that were simplified to only one huge explosive pack, which was the same as a humanoid manipulating bombs, although it was more expensive to pilot, but these humanoid bombs of the little devils were all kamikaze commandos formed by some newcomers who were caught in the later stage and directly drove ducks to the shelves. ”

"In order to reduce the damage caused to us by the little devil kamikaze commandos, we must knock out all their airfields and find them on the ground as early as possible."

The kamikaze commando is the only factor that Gao Jianwu is worried about now, and in addition, all the hole cards of the little devil have been revealed.

Whether it is their weapons, ammunition, or the quality of their troops, they are now far inferior to those of their peak.

In particular, in terms of weapons and ammunition, they are not even able to equip each division with a sufficient ammunition base, and in addition to ensuring the basic operational needs of the front line on the Kyushu front, some divisions and regiments on the mainland are not even enough for a base.

Of course, this information is only known to the high-level of the little devil now.

Even Gao Jianwu didn't know that the little devil was now so downtrodden that he was called Huazi.

But after the tactics were settled, the air force began to fight at high intensity, and the Allied and Eighth Route air forces are now searching the entire island repeatedly. Even if there is any suspicion, the Air Force will not let it go, and sometimes it does not hesitate to lower the altitude to a few hundred meters to carefully observe.

As long as it is confirmed that it is an airfield, it must be washed with incendiary bombs along with the surrounding area, and the forests near the airport must be set on fire to ensure that the kamikaze commando fighters near the airport are destroyed.

But in any case, it is unlikely that the kamikaze commandos who want to completely destroy the little devils.

Tosu, on top of a flat hill next to the dense Kuzenbu Mountain forest, is a common forest if viewed from the air.

But as long as you get close to the top of the mountain, you will find that these trees on the top of the mountain, which are several meters high, are all movable bonsai trees!

Hidden in the middle of the woods are improvised planes used by humanoid bombs, and all the things that can be simplified except for the ability to fly have been simplified.

Due to the lack of glass, even the cabin canopy was saved, and the team members could only fly the plane in a strong wind, if it were not for the fact that the plane itself was not flying fast, this alone would be enough to send the pilot back to his hometown!

In terms of fuselage, due to the lack of aluminum, most of this aircraft is actually made of wood, except for the nose is loaded with about 1 ton of explosives, it does not carry any weapons, and the fuel will only give more than 100 kilometers of one-way fuel, and there is no room for return after takeoff.

Everything is done with maximum savings. In such an extremely economical way, the little devil produced tens of thousands of such suicide fighters.

However, no matter how simple this fighter is, it is no more than ordinary weapons that people can easily master.

So the little devils are recruiting pilots in large numbers for training.

Yoshida Koto from Chikugo is a newcomer who has just joined the aviation school for only a month and a half.

However, due to the tension of the war, the instructors suspended their teaching, and organized all the more than 20 people in their squad into a kamikaze commando pilot, and began to train how to hit the target.

And since the fall of Tsushima and the intensification of air raids by the Allied Air Force on Kyushu Island, Yoshida Koto, a kamikaze assault team, began to hide.

Be on standby near the airport.

They were not allowed to make a fire to cook in normal times, and the whole team relied on stored dry food, and hid in the dense forest on the silent radio, waiting for the final order to arrive.

"Yoshida-kun, I don't know where the enemy is coming now, I don't know how long we will have to stay in this damn place before we can set off? I can't wait to fly the plane and bring glory to the Empire. ”

followed Yoshida's companion, Inujiro, is not only Yoshida's comrade-in-arms, but also his neighbor who grew up.

This time, the two young men who were not yet 20 years old, because they had gone to middle school, had no choice at all, so they entered the aviation school for flight training.

At first, they thought they would be flying fighter planes and the Allied forces would fight in the air.

But when they entered the aviation school to learn the necessary cultural courses and began to prepare for in-flight training, they found that this was not the case at all.

Before they were ready to get on the plane, the instructors brought a roster of kamikaze commandos and asked them to fill it out on their own initiative.

They looked at the roster and realized that they were all one-time pilots!

Their mission was not at all to fly the warplanes of the Allied forces in the air and engage in fierce battles.

They also don't have such fighters and weapons, and the Empire can not provide them with advanced fighters such as Zero and Tempest, which are focused on the air alliance forces.

Rather, it is an extremely rudimentary suicide aircraft, not even a fighter.

Their only mission is to fly their own kamikaze fighter to ram and destroy the Allied ships, and to die with the enemy with up to a ton of explosives on board!

In other words, they are carrying out the ultimate exchange mission of one life for one ship. Other than that, they have no other tasks.

At first, both Yoshida and the dog were resistant to such a task.

Because this is not at all the way they want to live and fight.

Their opposition, however, was of no avail.

The instructors had all the ideas of Yoshida and Koizumi, and several reactions from the young people were actually under their control.

The instructor gave Yoshida and Koizumi an ideological education of devotion to the country.

Directly integrate these two thorns into a squad that identifies with the kamikaze commando.

Let Yoshida and Koizumi live and train with this kamikaze commando every day.

In addition to completing the training, every commando in this kamikaze commando will carry out tireless ideological education work with Yoshida and Koizumi.

This made Yoshida and Koizumi confirm their resignation a few days later, and they could not oppose the whole general trend.

They are destined to be a group of lonely ghosts who have no future.
