The ridicule from the friendly forces did not make the soldiers of Komuro Brigade feel ashamed. They were originally small traders and did not think there was anything wrong with their behavior. Several soldiers observed carefully and confirmed that there were no forts or other buildings nearby. , they discussed in low voices, and then started the landing operation under Komuro's command, "Charge." "Kill."... After landing on the beach, more than a thousand officers and soldiers of Komuro's brigade charged towards the townhouses with shouts. The momentum was so majestic that the Japanese in Ishii's brigade were all dumbfounded, and then burst into laughter.
"Ba Ge, you are indeed a despicable merchant, you are so thick-skinned." A captain from the Ishii brigade said, spitting fiercely on the ground,
Ashamed of being with them, Ishii gave the order to advance. More than a thousand Japanese from Ishii's brigade left the newly established defensive position and began to attack in depth. Ishii said to a few of his capable men: "These cowardly small traders are afraid of death. Just let them follow us and eat their shit. Warriors of the Marine Corps, we will take the merits of this battle."
Ishii's brigade began to attack and advance. Several of Komuro's men came to him and asked him what he thought: Sir, should we follow?
"Of course, although they look down on us, as the big brother of the army, how can we watch them fall into the siege of the Chinese and remain indifferent." Komuro said confidently, so, less than ten minutes after the Ishii brigade drove out, Komuro brigade One squadron was left to guard the landing position, and the others followed,
Sawada Shigeru had a panoramic view of the situation on the shore through the telescope. Twenty minutes later, under his command, the second wave of landing troops began to set off. The main force of this landing was a regiment of the Osaka Division. This regiment The Japs of the squadron had just landed on the coast one after another. The fighter planes on the Kaga and other aircraft carriers took off again after completing refueling and bombing. This time, they would carry out strategic bombing along the routes opened by the two squadrons of fighter planes to attack the ground. Troops remove obstacles that may be possible,
In Taipo, Changjiang, after the lookout posts from various places reported to Chang Geng that two squadrons of Japanese fighter planes were searching and advancing from two directions, the Western Front Command began to secretly move to the No. 2 Preparatory Underground Command Center in Qifang Town. Civilian The personnel evacuated first. They sat in off-road vehicles, escorted by two regiments of guard troops, along a dirt road that shuttled through the jungle. The evacuation was completed in about 20 minutes.
Chang Geng and other military personnel retreated. They also needed to observe the Japanese attack to determine the focus of the Japanese attack.
The Battle of Hainan has begun. Among the military and political departments on Hainan Island, the most nervous ones are not the Fifth Xue Army led by Shan Renxiong and the Hainan Self-Defense Force led by Baoshan, but the oil company located in Chengmai and the mining group located in Shilu. Ouyang The biggest reason why Yun attaches so much importance to Hainan is actually the oil in Chengmai and the iron ore in Shilu. As a time traveler, Ouyang Yun knows that the Japanese will definitely use troops in Hainan, so when the construction of these two industries started, he Just thinking about his survival in the war, at his insistence, the Xuebing Army also set up a special department "Research Group on Wartime Mechanisms of Factories and Mines". This group was headed by Fan Xudong, and their work was based on local conditions. Large enterprises have developed practical wartime mechanisms to protect large equipment from being destroyed by war.
Just when the combined fleet was wreaking havoc in the Wanning area, the wartime mechanism of Chengmai Petroleum and Shilu Iron Mine had been activated. Chengmai Petroleum, one oil pumping equipment after another was knocked down, and various disguises were placed Go up, and the surrounding buildings were also demolished; the blast furnaces of Shilu Iron Mine and Steel Plant stopped operations, and large plates were transported in one after another to surround the blast furnaces. Soon, a rockery with the blast furnace as the core was After the construction was completed, looking from a distance, it was lush and green, a natural scenery.
When Chengmai Petroleum and Shilu Iron Mine conducted their first wartime mechanism exercise, they encountered unanimous opposition from the person in charge to the workers. But now, looking at those expensive machines and equipment, they are all covered in camouflage. Only then did they realize the necessity of this mechanism,
Regarding Qiongnan’s operational strategy, Yamamoto Isoroku only gave one word: fast, while Koizumi, who was familiar with history, gave a more appropriate definition: blitzkrieg.
Yamamoto's idea is a good one. After conquering the large and medium-sized towns in southwestern Qiong in one fell swoop, the combined fleet will have a firm foothold on land. Then, whether it is sending troops to the southeast or northeast, or establishing bases, the combined fleet will be in control. taking full initiative,
However, because the main force of the army is now the Osaka Division, it seems that there are still many problems to be solved in order to realize his idea.
The Japanese offensive in southwestern Qiongzhou could indeed be defined as a "blitz" that afternoon. The Ishii and Komuro battalions, which were the first to land, took only three hours to enter Changjiang under the cover of aviation. In Changjiang, they encountered Faced with the resistance of a regiment of miscellaneous troops (one battalion of regular cadets, two brigades of Self-Defense Forces), the Japs of Komuro Battalion were timid for a time and did not dare to attack. However, when they saw that their own aviation troops were able to defeat the city with just one dive, After the Chinese people outside dispersed, their little bushido spirit was inspired, and they immediately followed Ishii's brigade and launched a charge.
When the war broke out in Changjiang, Chang Geng silently saluted the only place in the city where the student army flag was displayed, and boarded his armored command vehicle.
If you want to lure the enemy deeper, you need a certain number of abandoned soldiers. The battalion guarding Changjiang plays exactly this role.
One after another fireballs soared from the low city top of Changjiang, and one after another self-defense team members and cadet soldiers fell from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. Their blood flew into the air, dyeing the land of Changjiang red and the sight of onlookers. ,
On a hill three kilometers northwest of Changjiang City, Oubaoshan finally couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed Guo Yucheng's right hand with tears in her eyes, suddenly bit him hard on the shoulder, and then cried and cursed: "Where is your army? Where are your armies? They actually fled without fighting. Are they still men?"
Guo Yucheng was speechless,
What could he say in this situation, and he couldn't tell Little Pepper about the confidential military content.
There was a reason why Ou Baoshan was so excited. Originally, according to the agreement, when the Japs hit, the residents along the way were to immediately start fleeing. However, Ou Baoshan and others were promoting this strategy in Changjiang City, where the Li and Miao ethnic groups are the majority. However, they were rejected by the locals. They would rather defend the city with blood than give up their homes. So, a scene completely opposite to what they expected appeared. Although the self-defense forces outside the city were dispersed, more Miao people still remained. Some Li men picked up swords and sticks, and the Bird Command climbed to the top of the city. In the end, the fleeing self-defense team members forgot their mission and actually turned back to join the battle.
On this day, Hainan Island is destined to have no sleep.
