Galbet, Bobomu Mountain highland on the east bank of the Hooghly River.
The Japanese counterattack came faster than expected.
More than two thousand Japanese troops stationed in the military camp east of Raipur Town, led by commander Lieutenant Colonel Hisashi Takeda, rushed towards the high ground quickly.
The heights of Bobomu Mountain and the attached ports below have always been the territory of the navy. The naval river defense force from the brigade likes to do business and does not want the army to get involved in its internal affairs. Takeda Hisashi, the captain of the Raipur garrison, is too lazy to care about them.
life and death.
However, since early in the morning, violent explosions have been heard from the city of Galbed in the north to the highlands of Bobomu Mountain in the west. The intensive sound of gunfire from Bobomu Mountain is particularly disturbing.
The Boer military camp was less than ten kilometers away. If he ignored it, he would definitely be held accountable if something went wrong. Therefore, despite all his reluctance, Takeda Shangzhi could only hurriedly evacuate the troops and head for the rescue.
After more than an hour of marching, the Japanese army arrived at the foot of the mountain two kilometers in front of Bobomu Highlands.
Takeda Hisashi carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that there were many bomb craters near and far. Many places were still smoking, and many trees were like burning torches. The sun was still flickering with flames. He immediately thought that there must have been something here before.
It was a tragic battle. Although we didn’t know who won in the end, judging from the current situation, it was better to seize the high ground first and then find out the truth. So we sent two squadrons of Japanese troops to rush towards the current main peak position.
The entire Bobomu Highlands were silent. Two squadrons of Japanese soldiers, holding Type 38 rifles with bayonets in their hands, quickly approached the main peak position.
Takeda Hisashi took a telescope and observed carefully, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately he found nothing.
At this moment, Takeda Hisashi heard the sound of intensive gunfire coming from the main peak position, mixed with a strange sound of tearing oilcloth. He saw lines of fire coming from high positions and some fortresses that had not yet collapsed.
The tongues of fire spit out bullets, sweeping the attacking Japanese soldiers to the ground like weeds.
This sudden attack was no different from a massacre. Most of the Japs in the two squadrons were beaten to pieces by the hail of bullets from above. A few fell to the ground to avoid the hail of bullets and shot everywhere blindly. The Japanese soldiers won the victory without bloodshed.
The attempt to reach the heights of Bomu Mountain has thus far failed.
However, this round of attacks came and went quickly, and the gunshots stopped abruptly, almost giving Takeda the illusion that everything had never happened. However, the densely packed corpses in front of him clearly reminded Takeda that...
This is real, the imperial army did suffer a tragic blow!
"Baga! The enemy is too cunning!"
Takeda Hisashi was furious. In his telescope, the high ground ahead was quiet, and he didn't even see a ghost.
However, this scene gave Takeda Hisashi a wrong message. He believed that the opponent's strength should be small, or that he had suffered heavy casualties in previous attacks, otherwise he would not be so sneaky, so he ordered another attack.
Another two squadrons of Japanese troops entered the battle. They joined up with the Japanese who had managed to survive in front, and bravely attacked in a skirmish line towards the top of the mountain ahead. Mountain artillery, field artillery, pursuit artillery, and grenades opened fire one after another, but the top of the mountain could not be saved.
It's like no one is there, so peaceful!
At this time, on the high ground on both sides of Bobomu Mountain, intensive shooting suddenly sounded again, this time joined by the sound of g.~~mountain howitzers.
Almost instantly, the grenade with a proximity fuse exploded more than ten meters above the Japanese army. Dozens of fireballs flew out with steel balls and fragments all over the sky. This metal storm enveloped the entire attacking force of the Japanese army.
Flying sideways and screaming, most of the Japanese were immediately shot and turned into a hornet's nest.
Takeda Hisashi roared angrily, cursed loudly and vowed to look good to the enemy. At this time, the rumble of a tank engine suddenly came to his ears.
"Is it the imperial chariot troop?" Just when Takeda Hisashi turned his head to look around happily, a cannonball fell next to him, and then his mind went blank.
It turned out that when the Japanese army attacked, the tanks of the paratroopers had already detoured back to the rear of the Japanese army. After repairing the fault, the thirty-two Type IV airborne tanks that were fully equipped suddenly burst out from the rear of the enemy. The tanks commanding the battle from the rear were immediately dispatched.
Hisashi Takeda exploded into pieces.
The Japanese who were caught off guard were beaten to a pulp, their troops had no fighting spirit, and they dispersed one after another. The unruly and unforgiving Type 4 airborne tanks were like tigers rushing into the herd of sheep, trampling wildly, biting, and using all means to devour the lives of the Japanese.
The battle ended within half an hour, and more than 2,000 Japanese were killed.
At this time, Ling Xing had already heard through the radio that the battle in Calcutta was going smoothly, and he was thinking that there were Japanese troops nearby who would come to die.
Shahjalal Military Airport is located fifteen kilometers due north of Dhaka city.
As the top officer of the airport, Colonel Ryo Aoki spent this time in great depression. Since the war started last month, the airport has been continuously bombed by the Anjia Army Air Force. He is worried day and night. Not to mention, once the airport is damaged, it must be
The runway must be rested as soon as possible.
However, more people were killed and injured during the rest of the runway than were killed by the bombing. I don’t know what kind of aerial bombs the Anjia Army used, but they actually left an unknown number of unexploded bombs on the runway that was bombed beyond recognition.
Rest work poses a huge threat.
What is particularly hateful is that after I spent all my efforts to organize people to repair the runway to the point where it could barely take off and land aircraft, the Anjia Army Air Force came to cause trouble again. During the continuous bombing, the air defense positions around Shahjalal Military Airport were
It has been razed to the ground, and many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have become scrap metal. For fear of being attacked again, the anti-aircraft guns have been hidden in underground tunnels near the airport.
The opponent seemed to have clairvoyance and ears. He knew the deployment of the Imperial Air Force very well. Even the backup runways built elsewhere were destroyed! I don’t know what the army and navy did. They were completely unable to suppress the opponent. I was so tired.
He has almost become a professional engineer, living only to build runways!
"Hey, it would be great if there was an airplane that could take off and land without a runway!" Ryoichi Aoki sighed every time, but he knew this was impossible.
It was the darkest hour before dawn, and Colonel Ryo Aoki, who had worked hard all night, had just taken command! The soldiers had repaired the runway, and his whole body felt relaxed. He collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Before he could spread out his body and relax, he heard the words in his ears.
There was the sound of the aircraft motor roaring.
Aoki Ryoichi lamented in his heart, stood up despite his fatigue, and shouted to the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground to take cover quickly.
Hearing the shrill sound of the air defense siren, the anti-aircraft guns hidden underground were quickly pushed out by the air defense soldiers, preparing to shoot down the enemy fighter planes in the sky to vent the anger accumulated in their hearts for days.
However, the searchlight on the ground had just been turned on, and before it could lock on to the target, it was already bombarded by intensive aerial bombs. Anti-aircraft guns were trying to find it, and the searchlight was shattered into pieces in the violent explosion.
The anti-aircraft artillerymen had no choice but to fire randomly into the air, but they never thought that the tongues of fire would reveal their position.
Soon, the location of the anti-aircraft gun was covered by aerial bombs. Hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs fell one after another. In the huge fire caused by the explosion, the Japs instantly turned into broken limbs and metal parts flying high.
The constant friction with the shrapnel turned these flesh and blood bodies into pieces of meat again, which were scattered to the ground together with the flying soil.
At this time, Aoki Ryoichi and the Japanese soldiers had gone to hide far away from the airport runway. Based on past experience, the enemy was only interested in the runway and oil depot and would not bomb other places.
But they soon discovered that empiricism kills people. This time, bombs rained down on their hiding place, and an extremely tragic scene was staged.
It turned out that this time the fighter planes did not bomb the runways and oil depots. Instead, they attacked barracks and airport dormitories, control towers and other places. The intensive bombing caused the ground to tremble. Aoki Ryoichi, who had a chance to escape, changed five or six times in a row.
He hid somewhere, and finally, exhausted, he simply lay down on the grass at the airport and watched the Anjia Army and Air Force’s performance in the air.
At this time, a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon. With this light, Aoki Ryoichi finally saw the aircraft he had always hoped for that could take off and land without a runway. Sixteen helicopters passed by at low altitude, shooting wildly at the fleeing Japanese troops.
In the sky, a huge shadow floated across, and then countless parachutes fell from the sky. This was the airship brigade performing an airborne landing.
The paratroopers quickly landed on the ground and, under the cover of helicopters, began to control all parts of the airport.
Aoki Ryoichi, who was extremely tired, took the initiative to surrender and shouted in the Chinese he had learned, "I am willing to join forces with the An family army...", which allowed him to escape with his life. Aoki Ryoichi took the initiative to surrender to these strangely dressed, weapons, and mobile soldiers.
The strange officers and soldiers reported all the information about the airport, allowing our paratroopers to completely control the entire airport without any effort.
A quarter of an hour later, the first wave of large transport planes landed, bringing a large number of new troops. Then our army spread out around Dhaka city with the Shahjalal Military Airport as the center.
Chittagong Airport is located on the peninsula on the west bank of the Gornopri River estuary.
The Anjiajun Air Force successfully captured the airport at dawn, but the subsequent situation was not as optimistic as the Calcutta and Dhaka airports.
The Japanese army stationed an independent infantry brigade in Chittagong. After hearing the fierce gunfire from the direction of the airport, the Japanese quickly passed through the vast peninsula and swooped towards the airport in the southeast.
Due to difficulties in mobilization, the heavy artillery regiment attached to the independent infantry brigade could not keep up in time. In order to find out the strength of the Anjia army occupying the airport, the Japanese commander Major General Noguchi immediately sent an infantry brigade to launch an attack.
The Japanese army used more than 20 Terrorist Type 92 infantry guns to launch artillery fire on the outer positions of the airport. Then the infantry pulled up a skirmish line and slowly moved closer to the airport.
The Japanese did not expect that after occupying the airport, the paratroopers immediately mined the perimeter of the airport. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers who stepped into the minefield were killed by hundreds of bombs immediately. The Japanese commander in charge of the attack quickly prevented them from entering the minefield.
The soldiers moved, and then the engineers were called in to clear mines.
Anjiajun used anti-detection mines such as metal detectors and ceramic mines. The unlucky engineers could not use metal detectors to clear mines, but they were killed many times. At this time, as large transport planes continued to take off and land at the airport, our army
Officers, soldiers and combat supplies have been strengthened, but the commander of the Airborne Army did not immediately order the troops to launch a counterattack. Instead, he happily admired the Japanese soldiers' arduous journey.
Since there were hundreds of people in the minefield, the Japanese artillery was unable to use artillery to clear mines. They had to send engineers again to prepare to rescue the Japanese trapped in the minefield, and then use the 92 Infantry Artillery to clear the mines.
With their previous experience, the Japanese engineers simply abandoned the metal detectors and used manual demining.
Although the Japanese were very cautious, landmines continued to explode. Every time a mine sounded, it was an irritation to other engineers participating in mine clearance work. Finally, Major General Noguchi became ruthless and sent out several suicide squads, wrapped in thick cotton wool.
Being subjected to rolling thunder, explosions were heard all of a sudden. As the Japanese soldiers who rolled thunder died one after another, a passage was finally cleared in the minefield.
However, our army no longer gave the Japanese army a chance to react. The sniper rifles spoke one after another. The 12.7mm bullets were fired without missing a beat. They either cut off the Japanese soldiers at the waist, or pierced a terrifying hole in the chest, or directly hit their heads.
Become a rotten watermelon.
The Japanese soldiers who were in the minefield were so terrified that they fled backwards at all costs. A row of mortars hit them all over the place. Only less than one-third of the Japanese soldiers in the last group escaped.
This scene greatly stimulated Noguchi Shoji. He immediately ordered the artillery to fight back. However, after seeing that the continuous infantry artillery bombardment had no effect due to the short range, he ordered the artillery shells to be dropped into the minefield. As explosions continued in the minefield
After the sound of the sound, the Japanese attacked again. When they were getting closer and closer to the outer positions of the airport, intensive pursuit artillery attacked again, mixed with general-purpose machine guns and automatic rifles, which made the Japanese howl like ghosts and retreat again in embarrassment.
Upon seeing this, the Second Major General Noguchi had no choice but to order a temporary truce and wait for artillery to assist in the battle.
Half an hour later, the heavy artillery regiment attached to Chittagong finally arrived. Now Noguchi Shoji was happy and ordered the attack again.
The Japanese army's twenty-four Type 96 type field howitzers spit out violent firepower, and the frightening rumbling sound of the cannons was heard continuously in the outer positions of Chittagong Airport. The blade NP caliber grenades are so powerful.
, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that in an open area, a cannonball will often fall, and all living creatures within a radius of more than dozens of meters will be torn into pieces.
A large group of Japanese troops howled and launched another attack, trying to rush into the airport behind the extended artillery fire and wipe out the Chinese troops occupying the airport in one fell swoop.
...cshan is the first to update, super stable! read and read the novel website)
However, the devil's nightmare really came. As time went by, transport planes delivered a large amount of war materials, including twelve old 4-mm rocket launchers.
Dense rockets, like flying fireballs, enveloped the artillery positions directed at the Japanese army. At the same time, attack aircraft and helicopters parked at the airport to replenish fuel and ammunition took off one after another and attacked the Japanese army.
On the Japanese army's position, there was a dense sound of rocket explosions. Attack aircraft circled the Japanese artillery position. When they found any remaining targets, they rushed over and threw aerial bombs. The armed helicopters used rockets to hit the Japanese troops gathered together from a long distance.
The "Vulcan" machine gun rotates the barrel crazily, throwing out a dense rain of bullets, killing all enemies!
At this time, there was a tremor in the ground, and the roar of tank motors was heard. More than thirty Type IV airborne tanks appeared in the Japs' field of vision. Their tracks were crushing the ground, and mist-like dust was flying into the sky.
The millimeter artillery raised its muzzle and continuously spit out shells. Bo bombers also came to join in the fun at this time, specifically looking for the Japanese firepower points to attack. For a time, the Japanese soldiers were flying with blood and corpses all over the field.
An hour later, the Japanese army was basically wiped out by Anjia officers and soldiers who coordinated with air and ground, infantry and tanks, and tanks and artillery. As transport planes continued to transport troops, the troops quickly moved toward Chittagong. Since the Japanese troops in this area were basically eliminated
, the occupation of cities and ports is only a matter of time.
Jingnan City Airport.
When air raids and airdrop operations were launched in the East India region, the area was also on the verge of war.
Under the bright lights, there are people running everywhere, and exhausted logistics officers and soldiers sweating profusely can be seen everywhere. In the huge airport, mountains of materials need to be transported, and crowds of people as dense as ants need to be dispatched. Chang Baofang, Director of the General Logistics Department
Lieutenant General, mentally and physically exhausted, there was a tense and chilling atmosphere over the airport.
This airport was re-planned and constructed in 2038 on the basis of the former Bangkok Military Airport. It covers an area of about 50 square kilometers and has 12 advanced modern runways. It can take off and land all current large transport aircraft and heavy bombers.
The cargo throughput capacity ranks first in the world. Since the airport railway is connected to the major cities in South China, it has become the largest airport for transporting ammunition and supplies to the front lines of Malaya, Burma and India.
Chang Baofang is indeed exhausted. The returning transport plane needs to be inspected and replenished with fuel, the pilot needs a simple rest, and the materials and personnel in the airport are urgently needed to be transported to the front line. All of this requires coordination by the officers and soldiers of the Logistics Department. When people mention war,
I think more of the soldiers charging on the front line. Who can think of the hardship and fatigue of the logistics officers and soldiers?
Air Force Commander General Huang Xunyi also stayed up all night. After condolences to the pilots, he saw Chang Baofang on the tarmac directing the loading of cargo into the transport aircraft. He was moved in his heart, strode forward, walked to Chang Baofang and asked: "Old Chang
, our airborne troops are fighting behind enemy lines, can their supplies be guaranteed?"
"Absolutely!"
Chang Baofang turned around and saw Huang Xunyi. He rubbed his face tiredly and continued: "This time we used two hundred ANP large transport aircraft with a load capacity of 21.5 tons, and a total of one hundred
As long as the VI-4 transport aircraft with a load of 80 tons does not encounter the main force of the Japanese army in the battle, this supply is enough! Moreover, in addition, we also have fifty No. 4 ships with a usable tonnage of up to 150 tons.
The airships are used to rush to transport supplies, no matter from which aspect, there will be no logistical problems!"
"Old Chang, I have really worked hard for you this time! But there are so many generals and colonels in the General Logistics Department, why is it your turn to personally take action? You look tired, you haven't rested for a few days, right?" Huang Xunyi asked with concern.
"no way!"
Chang Baofang shook his head: "Now the railway and highway supplies for the front line have occupied a large number of personnel. This task was issued suddenly, and there was no way to spare extra manpower. I had to go into battle myself! But as long as today
It's progressing smoothly, and all the next work can be completed step by step, so you don't have to worry so much!"
Having said this, Chang Baofang raised her wrinkled face and watched the transport planes taking off into the sky, with a proud smile on her face.
Huang Xunyi followed Chang Baofang's gaze and felt proud in his heart. He patted Chang Baofang on the shoulder and strode away.
