March 6, 1942, the 28th day of the first lunar month, was called the Waking of Insects. Although some sunshine appeared in the sky in the early morning, it was quickly obscured by clouds, followed by drizzle. However, the rainy weather could not stop it.
The continuation of the war.
The landing operations in the Xiangshan area of Taiwan are still continuing. With the general offensive order issued by the Hainan Army Headquarters, the first to launch the attack was the bomber formation of the Air Force. They needed to destroy the Japanese ground defenses as much as possible to reduce the difficulty of the landing troops.
.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Countless Hainan Army fighter planes roared and took off from the aircraft carrier. The falling aerial bombs completely covered the Japanese defense positions in Xiangshan, and flames and explosions filled this narrow coast.
.
While the air force was bombing, landing craft appeared faintly on the sea, rushing towards the coast at extremely fast speeds.
That was the first batch of landing troops of the Hainan Army. As the vanguard, they had a very heavy task. They needed to land on the beach under the nose of the Japanese defense forces and build a position that could allow subsequent troops to land continuously.
Inside the D-018 landing craft of the landing force, hundreds of Hainan officers and soldiers were squatting in the open-air cabin in an orderly manner, preparing for the fierce battle they were about to face.
"Er Dou! When we charge, don't think about anything and just rush forward. Don't stop! Do you understand?" Fu Fei, a squatting company commander, held his rifle on his chest and shoulders and warned him.
A soldier chewing something.
"Yes, I understand!" The soldier named Big Pancake replied vaguely because he was chewing something.
The original name of "Big Pancake" is Zhao Erdou. He is originally from Qin and Shaanxi in the north. He joined the Hainan Army at the end of 1938. He lives up to his name, and he is chewing a piece of pancake with relish.
Northerners like pasta, and Zhao Erdou's favorite food is pancakes, and he has a habit of carrying a few pieces of pancakes with him before a war.
——————【The dividing line is coming】——————
"Quick! Prepare to land!" The officer's heart-rending roar sounded in the landing craft. The Hainan Army soldiers rode the landing craft and rushed towards the Japanese army's Xiangshan defense position, which was less than fifty meters away.
This batch of landing craft was specially customized by a shipyard for this landing battle. Although the maximum carrying capacity is only 5,000 people, for the naval landing force, this is already a very good landing craft.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The cruisers and battleships of the Hainan Navy Fleet roared, and the huge-caliber artillery shells hit the Japanese position one by one. With the violent explosion, part of the Japanese defense
The fortification was directly destroyed by naval guns.
The current situation is quite critical for the Japanese army. The Hainan Army Air Force's harassment of the Japanese ground forces has made the Japanese defense forces afraid to take the lead. The navy is also constantly bombarding the Japanese positions with naval guns, which makes the Japanese defense forces very difficult.
It is difficult to organize effective resistance.
You must know that once the Hainan Army has captured the beachhead and established a position, with the intensity of firepower of the Hainan Army's infantry, it will not be that simple to regain the position, and An Tengliji obviously knows this.
As a last resort, An Tengliji had no choice but to turn over a trump card in his hand and push out the deployed heavy artillery troops.
This was originally a trump card he prepared for the Hainan Army's landing force. When the Hainan Army's landing craft approached, he would bombard it with heavy artillery. And An Tengliji's method was also very clever. In order to ensure that the heavy artillery unit would not be discovered by the Hainan Army's air force, he deliberately hid the heavy artillery.
In the air defense fortification, the purpose is to catch the Hainan Army by surprise. If the Hainan Army's landing craft unit suddenly encounters a heavy artillery attack, no matter how elite the unit is, it will not be able to escape the end of the entire army being annihilated.
It is undeniable that An Tengliji came up with a vicious plan. If it develops according to the plan he envisioned, the Hainan Army may really suffer a big loss here. However, there is a saying: the secret that is revealed can still be
Does it count as a secret?
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sudden heavy artillery attack immediately disrupted the deployment of the Hainan fleet. Although the shells falling into the formation did not sink the warships, each warship was more or less damaged.
"Boom!" A cannonball landed not far from Zhao Yujian's flagship. Being familiar with the power of artillery, he could tell at a glance that it was a cannon with a caliber of at least 150 mm.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that old devil An Teng to have a trick up his sleeve! Send me an order to find their location and blow up these little Japanese cannons!" Zhao Yujian growled with an ugly face.
He did not expect that An Tengliji would hide a heavy artillery unit in his hands, which almost caused him a big loss. Logically speaking, after being bombed and strafed by the air force for such a long time, even if all their heavy artillery were not destroyed,
At least some signs were leaked. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army actually launched heavy artillery at this time.
"The location of the Japanese heavy artillery unit has been determined! It's just..." Soon, a Hainan Army officer reported to Zhao Yujian.
Hearing this, Zhao Yujian looked at the officer's hesitant expression and asked in confusion: "What? Keep talking!"
"According to the report of the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, it has been determined that the Japanese army built heavy artillery inside the fortifications. Except for the main guns of our battleships, the impact of other caliber artillery is not obvious!"
Talking about how the Japanese army escaped the eyes of Hainan Army reconnaissance planes, it turned out to be this reason. Zhao Yujian sneered and said: "Ha...! This method is not what An Tengliji can think of! Such hospitality, I have
How could you not return the toast?"
As a professional soldier, he quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this method. Hiding heavy artillery inside the fortifications is indeed beneficial to defend against attacks by the Hainan Army and Air Force. As mentioned before, naval guns and fortresses
In gun-to-gun shooting, which one suffers more?
But on the other hand, the disadvantages of installing heavy artillery inside the fortifications are also obvious. How long will it take you to move the heavy artillery out when it is hidden inside the fortifications with the muzzle exposed? In other words, Antengli has given up the movable nature of the heavy artillery.
sex in exchange for the ability to defend against Hainan Army Air Force bombings.
"Dispatch the carrier-based aircraft formation and carry incendiary bombs!" Zhao Yujian immediately ordered.
The strength of the Hainan Army is not only reflected in its military strength, but the various levels of weapons are also a highlight of the Hainan Army. Under any situation and special environment, the Hainan Army can appropriately choose the weapons that are most suitable for the current environment.
.
Therefore, although An Tengliji's method caused Zhao Yujian to suffer a little loss, it does not mean that there is no solution.
