In a two-story foreign-style building in the town, thick black curtains completely separated the brightly lit interior from the dark outdoors.
"Are all the ministries in place?"
Under the bright light, Ling Xing, dressed in a Japanese Lieutenant Colonel's uniform, crossed his arms over his chest and looked up at the large map hanging on the wall in front of him.
“Everyone arrived at the scheduled location smoothly!”
Chief of Staff Major General An Chengzhi, also wearing an ugly yellow military uniform, picked up the baton:
"Among them, the 1st Airborne Division arrived in Qiaotou Town and deployed in Wenxu, Beishan, Meiyun, Wendan, Yubao and other villages in the early morning; the 2nd Division stationed in Bairentan and deployed behind Lingaojiao; the 3rd Division inserted into Gao
Between Shanling and Tiaolou Town, before the landing battle started at 4:30 in the morning, attacks were launched on the beachhead position and the front line of Gaoshanling.
"The people of the Japanese Lingao Guards Security Brigade and the 15th Infantry Brigade stationed in the east-west positions of Lingaojiao and Chengmai Bay have never been able to figure out our reality. Although they dare not act rashly, they have not relaxed their control over us.
We are vigilant and have strengthened the deployment of troops at all major strategic points.
"Since our army and the division's special forces have basically cut off the main transportation routes to Qiongshan and Danxian, the Japanese army's contacts have been cut off, and the radio and communication links have been destroyed by our side. At least there will be no trouble before noon tomorrow.
.Our purpose is to create a time lag and use this time to cooperate with friendly forces to implement landing operations. Judging from the current implementation, everything is going smoothly!"
An Chengzhi was an orphan adopted by An Yi in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province during the Jiang-Gui War in 2009. In June of 2037, he went through the Boy Scout School, the Mathematics Department of Southwest Political Science and Law School, and the Special Major of the Military Academy and was assigned to An Yi's staff intelligence
Department, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he went to the army
.Served as company commander, battalion deputy, and battalion instructor. After the establishment of the paratroopers, he was transferred to the 1st Airborne Division as the deputy major. After the airborne division was promoted, he served as the lieutenant colonel commander of the 2nd airborne division and the chief of staff of the division colonel. Before the Hainan campaign,
Transferred to the military headquarters as chief of staff and promoted to major general.
"The overall situation should be decided before sunrise tomorrow!"
Ling Xing stretched out his hand and tapped on the map: "Do the Third Division responsible for the Lingao Western Front operations have anything to say about the capture of Lingao Mountain? This Lingao Mountain is the commanding heights on the coastline more than 200 miles west of Qiongshan County. It was the Japanese army's
It is a key position in the western section of coastal defense. It is also a strategic point that must be fought for in the landing area of our army. Because of its high stakes, the Japanese army deployed a brigade of troops on the front line of Lingaoshan.
"Gaoshan Ridge is the highest peak of Lingao Mountain. Standing on Gaoshan Ridge, you can overlook Haikou Port, Lingao County, Lingaojiao, Xinying Port, Diaolou Port, and you can also overlook the Leizhou Peninsula on the other side of the strait. This ridge is
The lifeblood of Lingaoshan, history
It was a battleground for military strategists. In addition to deploying a brigade of troops, the Japanese army also built artillery positions with 20 various field guns, mountain guns and cannons. They controlled many important sea and land areas in the Lingao area.
Target.
"After the Second Guards Army on the other side of the strait entered the Leizhou Peninsula Point, the Japanese army deliberately strengthened the defense of Lingao Mountain, built a deep defense hub position on the mountain, and took advantage of the steep terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to build layers of defenses.
Bunkers, bunkers one after another, individual bunkers, and foxholes are like fish scale pits dug when planting trees. There are countless them.
"Meixia in front of Gaoshan Ridge, the sea surface and beaches in Changgong area are all covered by artillery fire on Gaoshan Ridge. If this commanding height cannot be taken, it will pose a huge threat to our army's landing troops on the coast in this area."
"Although there appear to be a lot of Japanese troops on Lingao Mountain, they are distributed across the entire front, and there are not many local troops. Among them, only one squadron is stationed at the top of Gaoshan Ridge where the artillery position is located."
An Chengzhi said: "The plan of the Third Division is to send a regiment of troops, with battalions as units, to quietly advance to the foot of Lingao Mountain. If they can seize the position before the Japanese army can react, it would be best. If not, armed helicopters will be sent to assist.
, in the face of our three-dimensional attack that combines air and ground, we are sure to capture the high ground! Then our army can calmly face the counterattack of the Japanese army from Lingao County and defend the high mountains with a regiment of troops, so there is no big problem!"
“Don’t take it lightly!”
Ling Xing solemnly told: "In addition to dealing with the high mountains behind them, the third division also needs to coordinate the landings of the two divisions of the First Guards Army at Baocai Port, Tiaolou Port, Huanglong Port, Xinying Port, and Touzui Port.
, the key points must be highlighted when deploying troops. If you want to cover everything, you will only lose more than you gain!"
An Chengzhi was full of confidence: "Don't worry, Commander. The total strength of the Japanese army in the Lingao and Chengmai areas is not much greater than ours. Coupled with the attacks from both front and rear, the Japanese army was caught off guard. With their positions in such chaos, it was impossible to organize a decent attack."
The Defense Staff conducted many deductions, but the results were not much different!"
Ling Xing nodded in relief: "That's good!" After speaking, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said: "In half an hour, all lines will be activated. I hope everything goes well!"
...
At four o'clock in the morning, all the paratroopers who went deep behind enemy lines changed into the camouflage uniforms of the Anjia Army Air Force.
A quarter of an hour later, the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 2nd Division quietly moved in front of the Japanese position at the foot of Lingao Mountain. Before the Japanese army was aware of it, the battalion took control of a nearby hillock and mobilized firepower in the woods and behind the big rocks.
, sent two companies as commandos to attack the Japanese troops on the ridge.
Under the cover of darkness and fog, the commando officers and soldiers moved quietly along the rugged mountain road to the foot of the mountain and captured two Japanese sentries who were chatting in a low voice under the guidance of the guides of the 5th Anti-Japanese Rescue Division who were familiar with the terrain.
The mountain road was extremely difficult to walk. The soldiers climbed up step by step by clinging to the rugged rocks and sharp thatch. The mountain road was full of big rocks and thorny trees. The hands and feet of the officers and soldiers were scratched.
, almost clawing at the cracks in the rocks to climb to the top of the mountain.
The twelve officers and soldiers of the assault squad who broke out at the front formed a long line in groups of three. They hung their guns around their necks, held uncovered grenades, and climbed up carefully. They were close to the top of the mountain, and the Japanese army did not notice.
The crisis is coming. In the haze, you can roughly see the topography of the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there is an ancient temple called Gaoshan Temple. A Japanese squadron is stationed in the temple. The gate of the temple faces the sea. There is a large pond in front of the temple. On both sides of the pond are two hills, like the two sides of scissors.
The blade clamped the gap under the pond. The top of the mountain was covered with towering trees and dense thatch, which was very convenient for the Japanese army to hold on.
The officers and soldiers of the two companies climbed up along the gap below the pond. With portable general-purpose machine guns and two machine gun platoons of 50-meter mortars, they quietly controlled the hills on both sides of the pond to block the temple. Japanese troops there.
When the assault squad climbed to a distance of more than 30 meters from the bunker and Luzhai, the rustling sound of thatch alerted the Japanese sentries, who heard a "crash" and unloaded the ammunition. Two Japanese soldiers shouted sharply in Japanese: "Who?"
Tuqiong Dagger saw that at this point, there was no need to pretend anymore. What greeted the two Japanese sentries was a burst of fierce gunfire. The two Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to hum before they fell down. In an instant, the top of the mountain soared. There were balls of fire, and the grenades thrown by the officers and soldiers of the Anjia Army's assault squad exploded on the Japanese defensive position.
The Japanese soldiers stationed inside and outside the temple woke up from their sleep. Some of them did not have time to put on their coats, so they responded with their guns bare-chested, trying to suppress the officers and soldiers who climbed to the top of the mountain. Our army deployed twelve rifles on the hills on both sides. The 5.8mm caliber Type II general-purpose machine gun and twelve 50 mortars specially used by paratroopers sprayed clouds of flames, and machine gun bullets and grenades intertwined into a dense fire net. The Japanese counterattack was quickly defeated.
The Japanese army's position on the top of the mountain ridge was divided into three lines of defense: in front of the temple, behind the temple and behind the temple. Officers and soldiers from two companies of the Anjia Army paratroopers concentrated general-purpose machine guns, automatic rifles and grenades from each squad to launch intensive firepower at the Japanese position. cover.
Based on the experience gained since the formation of the army in 2006, the Anjia Army ground troops have fully implemented the experience of the three-three system in combat.
In the first-level assault of the squad and platoon, Anjiajun always fought in groups of three or four to form a joint force. During the attack, he first avoided two against one, always focused on giving full play to the local advantage of three against one, and secondly avoided one against one. , and finally formed a three-on-one battle, concentrating superior forces to fight a battle of annihilation. After all, it is better to cut off one of ten fingers than to hurt them. The principle of three firsts is always implemented in the operation, that is, discover the enemy first, aim at the enemy first, and destroy the enemy first.
Generally speaking, before the war begins, the machine gun companies and police communication companies directly under the regiment headquarters, as well as the flamethrowers, engineers and other professional arms directly under the division headquarters, are all mixed into firepower groups, demolition groups, offensive groups, etc. Classes are divided into groups of three, and some are divided into groups of four.
During the army's offensive, we resolutely opposed a swarm of assaults and must advance in accordance with the three-by-three formation that we usually train. When encountering an ambush, each group cooperated closely and deployed the I-type 75mm recoilless rifle to detect the firepower point. , it takes less than 7 seconds to eliminate the enemy's fire point.
With such cooperation, the two assault platoons of our army, under the cover of artillery fire on the high ground on both wings of the rear, cooperated closely and coordinated operations to launch an attack on the densely populated Japanese bunkers and foxholes. The artillery fire and gunpowder smoke enveloped the Japanese positions. , bunkers and foxholes became the tombs where Japanese soldiers were buried.
Two squads of assault troops broke through the Japanese defense line and approached the Gaoshan Temple. The Japanese troops in the temple used the temple wall as a bunker and resisted tenaciously.
Each of the two squads separated a strike team, detoured to the two wings of the Gaoshan Temple, and threw a few grenades through the windows. Only a few "booms" were heard, and thick smoke and flames flew out from the windows and doors. They hid inside. The Japanese soldiers who were shooting were blown up to the point of howling like ghosts. The remaining officers and soldiers of the two squads took the opportunity to rush in and quickly captured the remaining ten Japanese soldiers.
On the Japanese defensive position behind the Gaoshan Temple, the bunkers opened fire wildly.
After Lieutenant Tai Peng, commander of the second company who served as the commando captain, calmly observed the terrain, he decided to avoid the frontal firepower of the Japanese army, leaving a squad of soldiers to rely on the temple to shoot at the Japanese army to attract the attention of the Japanese soldiers, and then led the main force. They secretly moved to the right wing, came to the rear of the Japanese army, rushed to the edge of Luzhai, and suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army's position.
The Japanese army's position was deployed on a high ground about 20 to 30 meters higher than the temple. It was commanding from a high position and had fierce firepower. The snipers assigned to the commando team shot at the Japanese army's bunker from the side. A dense barrage of bullets hit it, and the Japanese army mishandled it. The machine gun barrel of the sub-machine gun was bent instantly.
Subsequently, the shells fired by the mortars of the two machine gun platoons hit the ground like hailstones. The I-type 75mm recoilless rifle, which weighed only 47.73 kilograms, aimed at the Japanese army's firepower point and accurately clicked. Machine gun emplacements everywhere went silent one after another.
The Japanese troops were stunned by the firepower that appeared from the flanks, and the battle line was in chaos. The remaining Japanese troops retreated to the communication trenches behind the bunkers in an attempt to hold on to the last two bunkers.
The loud sound of the charge horn sounded, and the Anjia officers and soldiers jumped up, charged forward with all their strength, and opened up big holes in Luzhai with all their strength.
Lieutenant Tai Peng followed closely behind the soldiers who were the first to rush into the two deer villages. Suddenly, a hail of bullets came and hit Captain Tai's arms and legs in an instant. Blood flowed from the wounds, but Captain Tai still limped toward him. They charged forward and continued to command the battle. Seeing the commander's bravery, the officers and soldiers filled their guns with vengeful fury, and bullets and grenades flew down like raindrops on the Japanese positions.
The Japanese were frightened, their morale almost hit the bottom, and they all rushed into the bunker. At this moment, Lieutenant Tai Peng threw a grenade over, and several soldiers around him fired with automatic rifles, a dense rain of bullets. In the past, more than ten Japanese soldiers fell outside the bunker. Amidst the fierce shouts of killing, two groups of officers and soldiers rushed into the bunker and killed all the panicked more than ten Japanese soldiers inside.
At this time, on the open high ground about 100 meters behind the bunker, the Japanese army removed the camouflaged artillery, but they were helpless in the face of the approaching threat. About two hundred artillerymen who lacked individual weapons organized a death squad and used a small number of rifles. and grenades, launched a counterattack and prepared to retake the bunker, but was blocked by intensive firepower from two machine gun platoons of our army, causing heavy losses to the Japanese artillery.
After a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese army's three counterattacks were all repulsed.
The two paratrooper companies took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, chased the Japanese army into the past, and seized the artillery position that controlled more than 30 square kilometers in the surrounding area. At this time, the Japanese army deployed four Taisho 14th-year-old 105mm cannons here, six The dark muzzles of one Type 95 75mm field gun and ten Type 99 105mm mountain cannons are still pointing to the distant coastline, and the barrels are still filled with shells that will not be fired in the future.
At this time, the minute hand pointed to 4:30 in the morning, and the pre-arranged landing time had arrived.
The gunners of the machine gun company immediately used mortars to continuously fire red flares into the sky to report to the crossing army that the Gaoshan Ridge line had been successfully occupied by our army. ^-^^-^
