The sea surface under the raging storm, which was pitch black just now, is now lit up with dense sparks. As a sergeant in the Marine Corps, Shinmon naturally knows what this means, "Enemy attack, enemy attack." He suddenly shouted, pulled out his pistol, pointed the muzzle outward and pulled the trigger, "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!", but was immediately drowned out by the huge sound caused by the huge waves hitting the rocks. Seeing that the warning shot was ineffective, Shinmon shouted to Maki: "Quick, you rush back to the camp immediately and report to Second Lieutenant Kameda. You must call the police immediately."
Zhenmuhai shouted, picked up the rifle and left. As soon as he stepped into the rain, a fireball roared in. Then, he and Xinmen only had time to let out a scream before they were violently exploded along with the sentry tower. torn into pieces,
As for the Japanese army, the top commander in charge of the defense of Guadalcanal was none other than Wang Mingcheng, who had broken into the Fourth Division of Osaka. The plan that Ouyang Yun and Dan Renxiong had so painstakingly planted to steal the sky and change the day has finally come to fruition, and the fruits are quite fruitful. For example, Wang Mingcheng , he had been transferred from the Osaka Fourth Division to the deputy commander-in-chief of the National Liberation Army Headquarters, and Jiang Yige had also been promoted to major general, and was in charge of a military-sized National Liberation Army. Apart from them, there were more people who had been transferred Returning to the country, I entered the cradle of senior Japanese military officers, the General Staff Headquarters, and found out that the highest commander of the Japanese army in Guadalcanal was actually Chinese. This sounds like a fantasy, but it is true, since the highest commander of the Japanese army is himself. People, the defense of the Japanese army in Guadalcanal and other places is naturally controlled by the Pacific Fleet. For example, on Rennell Island, the Japanese army has a brigade of Japanese troops and a division of the National Liberation Army stationed on the island. There are a total of eleven troops stationed on the island. Observation posts, the specific coordinates of these eleven observation posts are clearly marked on a map in Zhang Liang's briefcase. When attacking Guadalcanal on a stormy night, weather is the biggest enemy, and if we can use If Rennell Island is used as a guide to advance, it will increase the insurance factor considerably. To be on the safe side, it is also necessary to destroy all the observation posts on the side of Rennell Island facing the advance route.
At about 5:30 in the morning, the storm subsided, and at this time, the outline of Guadalcanal also appeared in Bian Jingdao's sight. Bian Jingdao's Beijing mobile fleet was tasked with using naval guns to clear obstacles for the landing troops. , and performed alert missions and provided fire support. After the victory in the Timor Sea battle, rewards were given based on merit. The main battleship Beijing only won a collective third-class merit, while Qi Minghao's Swordfish missile speedboat unit was awarded a collective special merit. , This made Bian Jingdao extremely psychologically unbalanced. In his words, the total tonnage of all the ships in the Swordfish missile boat force was less than that of the battleship Beijing. As a result, our Beijing only got as much credit as a fingernail. It is simply a shame for all the brothers of the Beijing. In this battle, we must show the majesty of a battleship, and let the guys in the Swordfish missile boat force see who is the real main force of the fleet...
Bian Jingdao was gearing up for a big fight, but Bai Liusu sent over to Jiyu and handed over a detailed defense plan of the Japanese army at the landing site. Bian Jingdao didn't know that this defense plan was sent by Wang Mingcheng, and thought it was Zhang. Liang and the others immediately assured Bai Liusu on the phone that with this defense map, he would ensure that when the Marines landed, the Japanese landing ground would become a white ground.
China needs to use the Guadalcanal strategy to attract the attention of the Japanese base camp, while the Americans hope to use this to consolidate the situation in Australia and turn Australia into a forward base for the US military. The Chinese are willing to go all out, and the Americans are happy to follow behind and bet on it.
Therefore, when Chen Shichang asked the Americans to act together, some senior officials of the US military in Australia, including Admiral Jin, agreed. As for the Marine Corps, MacArthur sent out about 15,000 US-Australia coalition forces. As for the US Pacific Fleet, although
After being attacked repeatedly by the Japanese combined fleet, although its main ships, aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers suffered heavy losses, it still retained a lot of destroyers and landing ships. Under the influence of MacArthur, Admiral Jin was handed over to Chen Shichang.
A destroyer. Except for five of these destroyers that serve as escorts and move with the landing fleet, the other six have all been incorporated into the Beijing mobile fleet by Bai Liusu. With these six destroyers, the firepower of the Beijing mobile fleet will be as high as
Doubled, this was the confidence that Bian Jingdao dared to say. The unprecedented victory in the Timor Sea naval battle was like a new school for Bian Jingdao and other young naval admirals who had become monks on the way.
, and then came out on top in the mid-term exam, which helped them build strong self-confidence. If during the Timor Sea battle, they were still hesitant and not decisive enough when they lined up their troops and made decisions, now they are
He is full of self-confidence. Every time he gives an order, no one will be sloppy.
"Send my order and the first team will be ready."
"I order a detachment to fire."
Bai Liusu used the defense map of Guadalcanal provided by Wang Mingcheng to select the landing site at a place called Coco Fortress by the Japanese army. Coco Fortress, where the Japanese army deployed a total of two brigades of Japanese troops and one division of the National Liberation Army, and their
Relying on more than 20 bunkers and several bunkers built near the sea, Bai Liusu chose the Coco Fortress, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, as the landing site. On the one hand, it was because he had obtained the specific defense map of the fortress and could carry out targeted bombardment.
One reason is that as long as the Coco Fortress can be captured, the Japanese army will have no danger of defending this area. The landing troops can directly attack the largest Japanese airport on Guadalcanal, and they still have to capture this airport.
Then the Allied forces will wait to obtain an advance airport. At that time, unless the Japanese army dispatches the navy for a decisive battle, they will only be in a passive situation of being beaten until they are completely driven out of Guadalcanal.
In stormy weather, even in the early morning, the visibility on the sea and on the island was not high. However, the Beijing Mobile Fleet had a reconnaissance speedboat to provide shooting, so the accuracy of its artillery fire was not greatly affected.
The attacking side came well prepared, but as for the defending side, because they failed to receive the alarm, most of the Japanese soldiers, Indonesian soldiers, and Malaysian soldiers were still asleep at this time.
The three destroyers opened fire at the same time, and when the earth-shattering sound of shelling rang out, the Japanese on duty and the Indonesian monkeys in several warning bunkers in the Coco Fortress suddenly thought there was thunder. Their first reaction was not to sound the alarm, but to talk to each other.
Looking at it, he said with emotion: "What a big thunder."
Not long after they expressed this emotion, thunderous explosions rang in their ears,
A detachment under the Beijing mobile fleet consists of three American destroyers. The task assigned to them by Bian Jingdao is actually to conduct test firings and provide artillery reference for the main force. However, because there are specific defense maps, the test firing of a detachment is still possible. The shells directly hit the target. Of course, the destroyer's 150mm caliber shells were not enough to cause fatal damage to these strong bunkers, but the explosions stunned the Japanese or Indonesian monkeys inside and even caused blood to flow from the orifices. But death is possible,
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." The surviving Japanese or Indonesian monkeys immediately shouted, and those who were more responsive rushed directly to the alarm and pressed the alarm button.
"Beep, beep, beep." The alarm sounded immediately throughout the fortress, and almost at the same time, Bian Jingdao issued an order for an all-out artillery attack.
