Wang Laohu's order was quite timely, so the six Zeros had to fly away from the battlefield without getting much advantage. The officers and soldiers of the first regiment breathed a sigh of relief, and soon six more Fighter planes appeared in their eyes. Wang Laohu observed the model of the incoming Japanese plane through the telescope, and his face suddenly became serious.
"Grandma, you are a bear. The little Japs are bullying others too much." He cursed angrily, and then said to Du Disheng: "The Japs have sent out bombers. It seems that we can only withdraw the large troops first."
Du DiSheng: "How many people should be left on the front line?"
"We leave one platoon and you leave two platoons. If there is a fight, they will need to hold on for at least ten minutes. Therefore, those of you who stay must know how to fight. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear."
Almost at the same time that MacArthur received a telegram from Washington and learned that Pearl Harbor had been attacked, Koizumi Toshiichiro also received the good news from Yamamoto Isoroku. The little Japanese laughed three times after reading the telegram, and then pointed his hand towards Mindanao to all the Japanese. He said: "The entire U.S. Pacific Fleet is completely exhausted. That is our military's domain in the North Pacific. Well, let's inform the entire military of this news so that everyone can experience the joy of victory."
The combined fleet's sneak attack on the U.S. Pearl Harbor naval base was successful. News of the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet's destruction spread among the Japanese expeditionary fleet's Japanese soldiers. The morale of the Japanese army was unprecedentedly high. All the Japanese soldiers happily ran around to tell each other as if it was a festival, shouting from time to time, " "Long live the Emperor" and "Mighty Yamato", as if they had a share of the credit for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Koizumi and others were very excited about the bright future of the empire, and the news of the defeat of the Nomura Brigade seemed to be insignificant. The battle reports were submitted to Koizumi step by step. When he saw the three words "Xue Bing Army" in it, he first said He was secretly surprised, and then said with an arrogant sneer: "Xue Bingjun is really lingering, trying to mix things up everywhere. Okay, this time, I will teach Ouyang Yun a painful lesson, Mr. Xiangma, carry out Operation No. 2 Make a plan."
Soma Masabumi nodded and said "Hai", and was about to leave the "Ryujo" aircraft carrier and go to the "Hōsho" aircraft carrier. Koizumi said: "The Americans still have a considerable number of ships in the Philippines. Please pay attention to reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare." I think the sinking of the Kaga was caused by the Americans in the name of the British."
"I understand." Souma nodded again, then looked at each other, nodded slightly, and left immediately.
In order to successfully complete his first sea battle, Koizumi Toshiichiro formulated a total of three combat plans. The so-called second combat plan was to first capture Siaton on Negros Island, then gain control of the Bohol Sea, and then attack Attack Leyte Island and Dinagat Island from the east, thereby besieging the Mindanao defenders in one fell swoop, and engage in a beautiful siege and annihilation battle.
The appearance of the cadet army in Mindanao was an unexpected factor, but it did not surprise Koizumi. The cadet army was active in the United States, and the alliance between the cadet army and the US military was a matter of course. He felt fortunate that, fortunately, in his own country It is recommended that the "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger." sneak attack be carried out in advance. Otherwise, with the close relationship between the Xuebing Army and the United States, and the existence of Ouyang Yun, a time traveler with insight into history, the Americans will definitely be more vigilant and even be like that time and space. Dig a trap for the combined fleet to jump into,
In the later Japanese society at that time and space, the Japanese had always maintained another theory about the "attack on Pearl Harbor", that is, they believed that it was a conspiracy of the U.S. government in order to incite the hatred of the entire people against Japan and thus create the basis for declaring war against Japan. According to public opinion, Koizumi would have the above thoughts, which stems from this understanding.
After the advent of the dive bomber, the difficulty of air-ground coordination was greatly reduced, and it gradually developed into a mainstream tactic. The Marine Corps under the Western Expedition Fleet had many battles with the student army, and the Fourth Division had just been captured in Hainan. After a huge defeat and a miserable defeat, Koizumi became murderous and decided to use this tactic to weaken the advantage given to the defenders by the complex terrain, thereby eroding the defenders' defense strength bit by bit, and finally completely annihilated the Zamboanga defenders.
The Western Expedition Fleet was divided into two, divided into the Yongxiang aircraft carrier fleet and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet. Just when the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet began to break away from the main fleet formation and sail towards the east, the first wave of six Zeros took off on the Yongxiang. The lead aircraft reported to Yamabe that the defenders had adopted turtle tactics and the power of ship bombs against the ground was greatly weakened. It was recommended that ship bombers be sent to take over their operations.
Koizumi heard it from the side and answered: "Hold back, yes, it is the tactic of the Xuebing Army. They will not give up until they reach the Yellow River. Hum, then satisfy them and send Type 99 warships to join the battle. Continue to maintain high pressure. I We must leave no room for the individual qualities of the Xuebing Army to be brought into play."
Six Type 99s appeared on the battlefield to replace the previous Zero Types, and immediately bombed a group of positions.
Wang Laohu and Du Disheng hid behind a rock covered by a big tree, carefully observing the battlefield with binoculars. They saw one soldier after another being engulfed by fireworks. The two of them frowned in unison, sensing the seriousness of the situation.
Six Type 99 warships dropped about thirty bombs, blowing up a newly set up position into a mess, then raised up and then hovered in the air. Seeing this scene, Wang Laohu took another look. As the Japanese army's landing progressed, he exhaled heavily and said: "It's difficult to fight." Suddenly, he turned his head and stared at Du Disheng and said: "Major, do you dare to charge with me later?"
After listening to Geng Qingsheng's account, Du Disheng just looked at him quietly,
Wang Laohu was impatient and shouted: "Don't you dare?"
"I dare you if you dare." Du Disheng also shouted,
Wang Laohu grinned, and then said with a serious face: "Japanese fighter planes are patrolling above. If we enter the position before the Japanese army, we will definitely be bombed. Therefore, the only way is to put them up first, and then Let's make a counterattack. There are more than 3,000 Japs. Even if we fight them all, it's worth it. Let's order everyone to get ready."
Wang Laohu and Du Disheng had already developed a desperate consciousness, and just when a regiment-sized Japanese army began to form a skirmish line and advance towards the mountain, Xiao Anbao suddenly sent an order, telling them not to act rashly, saying that the headquarters would be there Provide artillery support at the appropriate time and keep them in contact with the headquarters to provide the latest tactical parameters required by the artillery.
Regarding the use of artillery, Xiao Anbao originally wanted to wait until the war was at its most intense and the infantry was about to be exhausted before entering the battle. However, due to the high-pressure policy adopted by the Japanese army, the regiment could not fight under such circumstances. After discussion with Sharp, , decided to invest an artillery regiment in advance for support to see if it could divert the attention of the Japanese navy.
This order was too timely for Wang Laohu and Du Disheng. They both breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. Wang Laohu took out his cigarette and spread it around. He took a nice puff and said to Du Disheng He said: "Grandma is such a bear. I am shocked. Well, let's first let the artilleryman give the little devil a taste. Little Geng, go and call the big bottle over. Let's see how he performs next."
