The new plan was unanimously praised by the bigwigs of the three armies. Fang Xiaoyu was not proficient in these tactical things. When he saw that everyone praised it, he happily agreed.
After the plan was determined, the entire plan was divided into three parts and sent to the staff of the three independent branches for refinement. This battle was formulated to establish the war command model of the Chinese Empire in the future, so that the three armies of the Chinese army could be in the war
Better exert the power of joint operations.
This battle was personally named "Operation Tide" by Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu means that it will land on the north and south sides of Japan like a high tide, and completely submerge Japan with waves of offensives.
After the combat preparation order was issued, all troops began to conduct intense dispatch. The Third Army of the Guards and the First Marine Corps were assigned to the direction of the Hoi Kingdom. They would form a northern army group with the Hoi Kingdom army, from
The north of Japan launched an attack.
Cooperating with the Northern Army Group to carry out the attack were three Air Force wings, a large number of transport ships of the Navy, two "Wanghai" class cruisers, five "Swordfish" class destroyers, and two "China" class battleships that had just been launched.
In the direction of the sulfur ball islands to the south, the Imperial Chinese Army placed the Second Guards Army, the Second and Third Marines, as well as the 20th and 21st Army of the National Defense Forces to form the Southern Army Group.
, which cooperated with them were the three Air Force wings and the two "Chinese"-class battleships of the Navy.
On March 27, 904, the combat order for "Operation Tide" was officially issued, and 480 aircraft from six regiments soared into the air and flew towards the coastline of Japan from both north and south.
"What is that?" The rumbling sound of the plane engine flew over his head, causing the Japanese coastal artillery to raise his head. They watched a group of big birds flying over in surprise.
"It seems like an airplane." After a knowledgeable artillery soldier, many people in Japan already knew the name of the airplane after being bombed for a period of time.
"Airplane? What is that?" Before the knowledgeable artilleryman could explain, the bomber had already answered him.
Bombs, groups of bombs fell on the turrets on the coastline. The Japanese turrets without air defense were immediately submerged in a flame and smoke.
Not only the forts, but also the barracks, ammunition depots, transportation hubs, command agencies and even arsenals near the coastline, were under the special care of bombers.
The Japanese artillery climbed out of the ruins of the fort, and before they could even spit out the soil in their mouths, they heard another scream. It was the shells, and the huge shells came after the bomb. This was the Chinese-class battleship.
The 305mm main gun on the board began a covering shelling.
Under the double cover of aircraft and naval guns, the transport ships dropped their assault boats and began to rush towards the beach. Seeing that an army was landing, the nearby Japanese soldiers immediately gathered near the coast. They lay on the ground and drove more and more.
The near assault boat was shooting desperately.
Several soldiers on the front assault boat were shot down, and the bow of the assault boat was also broken. The machine gunner sitting in the front of the assault boat immediately set up the Type 03 machine gun at the bow, facing the
The Japanese military fortifications on the coast were a burst of strafing fires.
The Type 03 machine gun made a sound like tearing a cloth at a rate of 1,200 rounds per minute. The bullets were like a whip, sweeping across the Japanese soldiers resisting on the beach. Although the dense bullets made the Japanese soldiers unable to raise their heads.
Come, but these Japanese soldiers were very tenacious. They still insisted on shooting, loading, shooting, and loading until they were shot dead.
The Chinese army's assault boat was based on the speedboats built by Fang Xiaoyu for several concubines. The ship was equipped with high-speed motors, which were enough to support the assault boats to travel at a speed of more than 30 knots. At this moment, these assault boats were close to the water surface and rowed out water flowers.
He advanced through the waves and was very fast. In just a blink of an eye, he passed through a long distance from the troop ship to the beach.
The assault boat that took the lead quickly rushed to the beach. The soldiers jumped off the assault boat quickly, lay down on the spot and shot, covering the landing of the subsequent troops.
More and more assault boats arrived at the beach, bringing more and more soldiers. The soldiers of the Chinese Empire quickly gained a numerical advantage, and the Japanese soldiers were bombed due to the bombing of the rear barracks and transportation hubs.
They could only resist in vain. The number of Japanese soldiers resisting on the beach was too small and they were quickly wiped out.
Two hours later, soldiers of the Chinese Empire had completely controlled the Qunlu Beach on the south side of the island of Japan. Zhang Zhonglin, the commander of the southern attack cluster, stepped on the already dyed red beach and walked to the temporary command center that had just been built.
Are there any major casualties?" Zhang Zhonglin asked as soon as he entered the house.
Chief of Staff Gao Deyu smiled and said, "How could such an unexpected combat plan have high casualties? With the cooperation of the Air Force and the Navy, the Japanese army did not give much time to respond. There was no more than one battalion of Japanese soldiers blocking us on the coast.
We only had more than 200 casualties.”
"It's a good fight. You should join the Marine Corps for landing warfare." Several leaders of the Second and Third Army of the Marine Corps walked into the command room with a smile. When they saw Zhang Zhonglin, they all came to the command room.
Salute and greet.
Although these Marine Corps leaders are also military-level leaders, the Guards are one level higher than ordinary troops, so Zhang Zhonglin's rank is still higher than them, and this combat operation of the Southern Army Group was also led by Zhang Zhonglin.
Responsible for command.
Zhang Zhonglin smiled and said, "Everyone should strengthen their vigilance to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. Now let's study the future combat issues." After saying that, several people came to the map table and started discussing each other.
Unlike the southern cluster commanded by Zhang Zhonglin, Sun Zhonglian, the commander of the Second Army of the Guards, who commanded the northern army, used another method of attack. Under the bombing of the airplane that covered the sky and the sun, the Xiayi Army cooperated with the attack in large numbers.
, took a fishing boat to attack the coast of the Kotsu Peninsula.
The Qingjin Peninsula is only one sea away from the Heiyi Island, and the straight line distance is no more than fifty kilometers, so the attack of the northern army is quite easy. The soldiers of the Heiyi Army only need to drive their familiar fishing boats and take the battleships of the Chinese Empire's Navy.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese army guarding the beach was exhausted due to insufficient numbers.
The offensive of the Heiyi Army was quite fierce, and the pressure of the Japanese army had to constantly draw the nearby defensive forces to this direction. Although such actions relieved the defensive pressure on the Qingjin Peninsula, they caused insufficient garrison troops in other areas.
However, the top leaders of the Japanese army did not expect that the fierce attack here was just a feint.
The attack of the Xiayi Army lasted for two days. The Japanese Army's Northern Defense Command unconsciously drew the troops over, creating a large defensive gap. Using this gap, Sun Zhonglian concentrated the navy and land.
The First Army of the Corps and the Third Army of the Guards launched an attack on Port of Luao.
The Port of Muao is the largest port in northern Japan. It has a deep draft, advanced equipment, and a very high cargo throughput. As long as it occupies here, there is no need to worry about the logistics supply of the northern military group. When night falls, the Guards will be the first.
The three armies sent several commandos to attack Port Lu'ao in the dark.
Because of the continuous high-intensity combat on the Qingjin Peninsula in the past few days, too many Japanese troops have been drawn to support it. At this moment, there are only two garrison troops in Luao Port.
The Guards' sneak attack achieved good results. Due to insufficient troops, there were not many posts in the port. The Guards' soldiers quickly boarded the dock. With a machine gun fire, most of the posts were solved. Wait until the Japanese army in the nearby military camp heard about it.
The sound came, and the landing forces of the Guards had exceeded one company.
With the eighteen Type 03 general-purpose machine guns of a company of Guards, plus the firepower of several mortars and more than 100 semi-automatic rifles, their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those of Japanese soldiers who hold single shots and load guns. As a result,
The Japanese soldiers rushing up were knocked down like rice cutting. When the large army came to reinforce, the two brigades of Japanese soldiers were completely lost.
It completely occupied the Port of Luao, and a large number of cargo ships carrying heavy weapons and logistics supplies could be unloaded by the port. Trucks loaded with supplies drove off the bow, the Third Army of the Guards and the First Marine Corps
The army's equipment was soon all onshore. They recovered all their combat effectiveness faster than the southern army group. When the Japanese reinforcements arrived near Muao Port, the one standing in front of them was an invincible heavy equipment.
The army is here.
A large number of armored cars were sporting Type 03 machine guns to advance quickly, fighting the Japanese army who had never seen such a tactic, but how could the two-legged Japanese army run over four-wheeled cars? They just came up with reinforcements.
The Japanese soldiers of the two divisions were completely disbanded and fled into the mountains.
The change of hands at Port Muao caused a complete wave of the Japanese army's northern defense line. Under the side attack of the First Marine Army, the Japanese army stationed in the Qingjin Peninsula were forced to retreat because of the fear of being surrounded by the landing Chinese army.
The Xiayi army, which had been feinted for several days, was able to board the land of Japan.
The two armies commanded by Sun Zhonglian and Zhang Zhonglin all landed in the territory of Japan very smoothly. Although they were successfully landed by the Chinese Empire's army, the Japanese government was not worried. On the contrary, they were very excited. In their opinion, the opportunity to turn the tables was finally here.
It's right.
In this battle, the Chinese Empire did not invest much army. The Chinese army in the north had two troops of 100,000, plus a 100,000 Xiayi army, which is 200,000.
There are more in the south, and the Chinese army has only dispatched five troops and 250,000 troops. After this period of crazy expansion, Japan has already had 30 regular troops and fifty reserve supplementary divisions.
The total number of people reached more than 1.6 million. The Japanese government believed that it was an insider. The soldiers had a very strong fighting will and were quick to replenish supplies. They should be able to defeat the invading enemies.
