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!" the clear gunshot sounded, but was immediately drowned out by the loud sound of the giant lang hitting the rocks.
Seeing that the warning shot was ineffective, Shinmon shouted to Maki: "Quick, you rush back to the camp 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 over. 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 4th Division of Osaka. The plan that Ouyang Yun and Shan Renxiong had 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. In addition to them, more people have been transferred
Back home, I entered the cradle of senior Japanese military officers, the General Staff Headquarters. It sounds like a fantasy that the highest commander of the Japanese army in Guadalcanal is actually a Chinese. However, it is true. Since the highest commanders of the Japanese army are all our own 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 observation posts on the island.
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, the weather is the biggest enemy, and if Rennell can
If the 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.
It also performed alert missions and provided fire support. After the great victory in the Timor Sea battle, rewards were given based on merit. The main battleship Beijing only won third-class collective merit, while Qi Minghao’s Swordfish missile speedboat unit was awarded collective special-class 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 made a contribution as big as a fingernail. This is simply
It is 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, so Bai Liusu sent over to Jiyu and handed over a detailed defense map of the Japanese troops at the landing site. Bian Jingdao didn't know that this defense map 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.
The country needs to use the Guadalcanal strategy to attract the attention of the Japanese base camp, and the Americans hope to use this to consolidate the situation in Australia, with a view to turning Australia into an advanced base for the US military. The Chinese are willing to go all out, and the Americans are happy to follow and bet, so
, when Chen Shichang asked the Americans to act together, some senior officials of the Australian military, including Admiral Jin, agreed. As for the Marine Corps, MacArthur sent out about 15,000 U.S.-Australia coalition forces. As for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, although its
After being attacked repeatedly by the Japanese combined fleet, although the main ships, aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers suffered heavy losses, many destroyers and landing ships were still retained. Under the influence of MacArthur, Admiral Jin was suddenly handed over to Chen Shichang.
Of these destroyers, except for the five that served as escorts and moved with the landing fleet, the other six were all incorporated into the Beijing mobile fleet by Bai Liusu. With these six destroyers, the firepower of the Beijing mobile fleet would be greatly increased.
After a while, this was the confidence that Bian Jingdao dared to speak wildly. The unprecedented victory in the Timor Sea naval battle was like a transfer to a new school for Bian Jingdao and other young naval admirals who had become monks on the way.
Then it was as if they came out on top in the final exam, which helped them build strong self-confidence. If during the Timor Sea battle, when they lined up their troops and made decisions, they were still somewhat hesitant and not decisive enough, now they are confident
He is very conscientious, and no one will be sloppy in every order he issues.
"Send my order and the first team will be ready!"
"My order! One detachment, 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. At Coco Fortress, the Japanese army deployed a total of two brigades of Japanese troops and one division of the National Liberation Army here. And their
He relied 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 of course because he had obtained the specific defense map of the fortress and could carry out targeted bombardment. In addition, Bai Liusu chose the Coco Fortress, which was heavily guarded by Japanese troops.
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 launch an attack on the largest Japanese airport on Guadalcanal. And they still have to capture this airport.
Then the Allied forces will be waiting to obtain an advance airport. At that time, unless the Japanese army dispatches its navy for a decisive battle, it will only be in a passive situation of being beaten until it is 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 elements, 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, a thunderous explosion rang in their ears.
A detachment under the Beijing mobile fleet is composed 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 is a specific defense map, the test firing of a detachment is still possible.
The shells directly hit the target. Of course, the 150mm caliber shells of the destroyer were not enough to cause fatal damage to these strong bunkers, but the sound of 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.
