To the northeast of Bolian Town, Su Lai Village blocks the battlefield.
About three squadrons and more than 500 Japanese troops are launching an attack on the temporary position established by the guard regiment directly under the First Airborne Army.
In the early morning, the Anjia Army temporarily built three "V"-shaped defense lines between Su Lai Village and Sihui Village, blocking off the sea for kilometers. Each line of defense was equipped with individual soldiers and machine gun bunkers, and the second line of defense was equipped with
There are mortar positions, and the third line of defense has two concealed artillery positions.
On the high ground more than 20 meters high behind the third position in the northwest of the highway, there are three temporary bunkers. The three high-level and flat dual-purpose machine guns set up here can reach all corners of the northeast.
On the front line, Second Lieutenant Ruan Wentao, commander of the second platoon of the first company of the first battalion of the Guard Regiment, calmly pressed a row of bullets into the magazine, loaded the Type II automatic rifle, quickly adjusted the speed machine to the single-shot position, and aimed at hunched forward.
Japanese soldiers shooting.
The charging Japanese troops fell down in rows in front of the dense rain of bullets from the Anjia Army. The attack was inevitably delayed. Many Japanese soldiers had to lie on the ground, raising their rifles to fire at the Anjia Army's position.
Second Lieutenant Ruan Wen Tao is 20 years old this year. He is from Tinh Ho City, Lan Giang Province, and belongs to the Kinh ethnic group. Ruan Wen Tao is the fourth eldest son in the family. He has an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. Before the An family army liberated Annan, Ruan Wen Tao's family suffered
arrive
Due to the double exploitation by the colonial government and the big landowners in the village, after paying taxes and land rent, the food left was simply not enough to sustain a living. Although the tropical wild vegetables were abundant, the nine brothers and sisters suffered from malnutrition. Five of them died of the epidemic.
.
After the An family army incorporated Annan into its territory, land reform teams quickly stationed in every township and village. They immediately redistributed land in the countryside and adopted brutal massacres against those bully landlords who had colluded with the colonial government and aroused great public anger.
policy, completely overthrow it, and treat the enlightened gentry and cooperative soil
Landowners who reformed were treated differently, and the state redeemed their excess land. Except for some fields suitable for large-scale agricultural production, which were incorporated into collective farms, all land was basically distributed to households. A large number of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were also cancelled. The life of Ruan Wentao's family
Soon there was a fundamental change.
In February 1938, after his family received enough food to support the spring harvest, fourteen-year-old Ruan Wentao entered the literacy school without any worries. The first text he studied in school was "I am Chinese, I love
My motherland!"
After half a year of study, Ruan Wentao basically mastered the Chinese pinyin and 300 basic Chinese characters. With the mobilization of the work team, he joined the Boy Scouts and the policy propaganda team organized by the village and performed outstandingly. In September 2038, Ruan Wentao and Annan
There are more than 10 million Jing people and other ethnic groups in the region.
Together with the children of the ethnic minority, he entered the local primary school. Because of his flexible mind and strong comprehension, he mastered more than a thousand Chinese characters in just over a year. He was able to write and apply flexibly, and his ideological awareness improved quickly, so he took the initiative to apply
Joined the school's ethnic youth team.
During the conscription in 1940, Ruan Wentao signed up to join the army. After passing the political review and ideological examination, he entered the recruit training camp. Half a year later, he was assigned to the Indian Front Army commanded by Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong. During this period, he joined the National Youth League and continued to blast in the war against Japan in 1941.
Four bunkers. Glory and responsibility
He was injured, entered the wounded barracks, and was awarded third-class personal merit. After recovering from the injury, because he was short and suitable for the airborne force, he was recommended to enter the special training class of the Coastal Defense Airborne Sergeant School. After half a year of ideological education and military skills training, he was assigned to
1st Airborne Division, serving as sergeant squad leader.
In the West Asian War at the end of last year, Ruan Wentao fought bravely, killing and capturing more than 40 German soldiers. His squad was awarded the third-class collective merit. He also received a third-class merit again, joined the party in the front line, was promoted to platoon leader, and successfully took the step of The key step to becoming an officer is to be promoted to second lieutenant.
Before An Jiajun took over, the nationalist trend in Annan had not spread. The gentry, clans and landlords had the right to speak in the countryside. The peasants, who accounted for the vast majority of the population, were ignorant and did not even have the most basic world view, historical view and national view. Existence. After the establishment of the Nanhua government, it made ethnic issues a top priority. After several years of perseverance and ubiquitous brainwashing propaganda, and teaching re-edited history in literacy classes, primary schools, middle schools and universities, Annan All ethnic groups have found their mother nation in the Chinese nation.
Today, most Jing people consider themselves to be a branch of the Tong people in Lingnan, China. About a quarter of the Jing people have applied to the local government to change their ethnicity to Han under the country's new ethnic policy, and have been reviewed by the civil affairs department. It was later confirmed and I am proud of it.
Other Kinh people also regard themselves as an important part of the Chinese nation. Due to the tangible changes in their lives, they have a very high degree of identification with the current government.
Ruan Wentao's family has already solved the problem of food and clothing. Due to the abundant labor force, his brother and sister, who were trained in literacy classes, went to work in the county's construction company and fertilizer factory respectively after training at the county's technical school. In addition to being able to return to their hometown to help the family during the busy farming season In addition to the harvest, the factory also organized workers to go to the countryside to help with the harvest. At the same time, as military relatives, the Ruan family also received many preferential treatment, such as priority in purchasing fertilizers and using the agricultural cooperative's combine harvesters, etc.
Ruan Wentao's parents often wrote to their children, asking their sons to work well in the army and bring honor to the family. Ruan Wentao plans to mobilize his parents to change the family's ethnic composition to Han when he returns home to visit relatives after the Hainan Campaign. Ruan Wentao firmly believes that only by following the organization closely Only by keeping pace can you achieve greater progress and development.
At this time, Ruan Wentao was extremely calm and silently looked for the Japanese officers holding command knives to shoot. Although he could not shoot one at a time, the hit rate was still amazing! After hitting three unlucky men one after another, Ruan Wentao was on one side of the position. On the edge of the wall, an eighth line was drawn, thinking about what achievements he would make this time and whether he would have a chance to be promoted again.
At this moment, the shrill roar of artillery fire rang out, and the Japanese 70th Infantry Artillery and... mortars accompanying the infantry attack fiercely fired at the Anjiajun position.
Like most of the airborne troops on the battlefield, Ruan Wentao greeted the eighteenth generation of the little devil's ancestors in his heart. At the same time, he honestly retracted his head into the trench to avoid the rain of sand, mud, and rocks falling from the sky.
"Boom boom——"
At the beginning, the Japs' exploratory artillery fire was very sparse, and a few of them even landed where the Japs soldiers were. It caused a bloody storm, and the Anjia Army paratroopers who stayed in the trenches to observe were laughing from ear to ear, but Their joy did not last long. With the adjustment of the shelling position, the Japanese artillery shells covered the position and extended to the high ground behind the position.
Just as the Japanese artillery was having fun, the artillery battery of the guard regiment also adjusted its direction. Four camouflaged Type 95 field guns fired violently at the Japanese artillery position. The mounts of several 70 infantry guns on the Japanese artillery position were It suddenly twisted and deformed, and none of the gunners surrounding it were spared!
But soon, the Type 99 105mm mountain artillery hidden by the Japanese army suddenly fired, and the artillery fire covered the Anjia Army's artillery position, and the Anjia Army's artillery fire quickly fell silent.
At this time, on the coastline, the Anjia Army landing force was entangled with the Japanese army. A fierce battle was going on. The air force's bombers and attack aircraft, and the army aviation's armed helicopters were doing their best to suppress the Japanese army. The guard regiment leader Jiang Taiqing, who lacked heavy firepower support,
The commander saw that this was not possible. If they fought hard, the casualties of the troops would probably be huge. In the Anjia Army, officers who made losses would be criticized, so they had to put down their dignity and request air fire support. At the same time, they ordered the survivors to be
The artillery retreated to the rear.
In this short period of time, the defensive firepower of the Anjia Army was completely suppressed by the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers who stayed at the front of the position got a chance to breathe. In the sound of artillery like war drums, they re-accumulated their offensive power. Located in the offensive position
A large number of Japanese soldiers at the rear of the formation took the opportunity to charge forward with light and heavy machine guns, grenades and mortars.
In the continuous battles with the Anjia Army, the Japanese army also learned how to coordinate infantry and artillery. While shelling from the rear, machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars and rifles also fired with all their strength. The barrage shrouded the entire defense line, and then the Japanese soldiers launched an all-out attack.
.
Although they were completely suppressed by the Japanese army in terms of firepower, seeing the Japanese soldiers getting closer and closer to their position, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Taiqing still gritted his teeth and ordered the dispersed mortars to fire continuously at the Japanese army. However, it seemed that it was too late on the scene.
Five hundred Japanese soldiers quickly advanced to a place about thirty to forty meters away from the front line of the Anjia Army. The slowly reviving firepower of the Anjia Army seemed unable to stop the surging crowd.
Just when the grassroots commander of the Anjia Army's front-line position ordered all officers and soldiers to prepare grenades to attack the Japanese troops who entered the range, a huge roar of motors sounded in the sky, and six Type III armed helicopters flew over from behind the Anjia Army's position.
, before they arrived, they opened fire violently on the Japanese troops.
Under the fierce attack of the 30mm Vulcan cannon and 107mm rockets, the Japanese artillery position was fundamentally suppressed, and the six 105mm mountain cannons quickly misfired. After eliminating the threat of the Japanese artillery, the Type III armed helicopter turned its nose and returned.
Fired at the Japanese infantry artillery, mortars, grenades and light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese firepower quickly weakened.
At this time, another twelve Q2 attack planes flew over the battlefield. At a low altitude of more than 100 meters, they used two 37mm aerial cannons on the nose and a 12.7mm machine gun on each side of the wings to fire violently at the Japanese army.
After suffering continuous blows, they were finally defeated and retreated with howling miserably.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Ruan Wentao killed two sergeants and four Japanese soldiers in succession, raising his total today to fourteen... Lin Gaoshan, the main peak position of Gaoshan Ridge.
The Japanese army was unwilling to lose the commanding heights near and far. Regardless of the crisis on the coastline, the Japanese commander sent four infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, two artillery squads and a rocket launcher squad to launch a fierce attack on the high mountains.
But at this time, our army's troops in the Gaoshanling area had been strengthened to five battalions, and they also had artillery positions captured from the Japanese army. Coupled with the support of the air force and army aviation units, we had an advantage in both strength and firepower.
The Japanese army launched 13 consecutive attacks, but were repelled by our army, and the offensive became weaker and weaker.
In the end, the Anjia Army couldn't stand it any longer and simply launched a counterattack. The Japanese army was completely defeated. In addition to killing more than 300 Japanese soldiers and capturing more than 100 Japanese soldiers, the rest of the Japanese soldiers were driven out of Lingao Mountain and retreated in embarrassment towards the
Lingao County...Lingao County in the north of Wenlan River
, Colonel Junji Hirata, commander of the Japanese Army's Lingao Police Force, had cold sweat on his forehead. Starting at four o'clock in the morning, fierce gunfire came from the Gaoshan Ridge and Lingao coastal areas, and then bad news came one after another.
, giving him a feeling of heaven and earth falling apart.
Hirata Junji's Lingao ** Garrison is responsible for defending the waters around Lingao. The troops are deployed in a stable manner, including one brigade on the east and west coasts, and one brigade each on the second line of Gaoshanling and Litang Village.
The positions were handed over to the Chinese, and the two pseudo legions were deployed on the second line as auxiliary troops. At the same time, two brigades and two pseudo legions were left in Lingao County as mobile forces.
According to Eitaro Uchiyama's overall defense strategy, when local areas along the coast are attacked, the entire line will be coordinated to deploy two strategic groups in Danzhou Bay and Haikou Bay, including two divisions, two ** infantry regiments and two
**Guard team, provide support as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, with the convenient transportation of the sea-ring highway built by the Japanese army with great efforts, they can rush to the incident area within two or three hours and use their absolutely superior force to surround and annihilate the landing enemies, thus achieving the goal of fending off the enemy.
The purpose of the coastline.
However, the current situation is far beyond imagination. After several days of continuous bombing, most of the sea-ring highways were damaged, bridges were blown up, and the roads were bumpy. In particular, radio communications and telephone lines were damaged, making the northern region unstable.
The three strategic clusters of County, Lingao and Qiongshan are basically isolated from each other.
Junji Hirata didn't know yet that at this time, the Japanese troops in Qiongshan and Dan County were harassed by our paratroopers, and the main troops had been mobilized. He didn't even know that the special operations troops of the First Airborne Army were fighting to rescue the Fifth Japanese Army.
Under the guidance of the division officers and soldiers, all traffic arteries were blocked, and all traffic routes were blocked.
Therefore, as soon as gunshots were heard on the coastline, Colonel Hirata Junji sent people to Dan County and Qiongshan County respectively to ask for help. So far, there has been no news. The gunfire on the front line is getting faster and faster.
The closer I get, the more my heart tightens.
"Is there any news from Boren Town?" Junji Hirata heard the sound of familiar footsteps and hurriedly asked the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Susumu Kobayashi, as he walked into the headquarters.
Xiao Linjin looked bitter: "Xiahejun sent someone to ask for reinforcements, saying that he encountered the main force of the Anjia Army in Bolian Town. Although he launched continuous attacks, facing the Anjia Army with air support, five charges failed.
Xiahejun said that if there are no more reinforcements, he can only choose to retreat!"
"Reinforcements!?"
Hirata Junji said angrily: "Where can I find reinforcements for him? Our garrison only has six brigades, of which the coastline and deep second-line positions occupy four. Qiongshan finally managed to get two brigades to support them.
, and asked him to bring one. Now I only have two brigades in hand. Even if I add two regiments of the Imperial Alliance Army, it will be difficult to defend the city. How can I divide the troops?"
Xiao Linjin thought for a while and suggested: "Commander, the Anjia army is coming fiercely. It is better to withdraw all the troops stationed on the second line and sent support and stick to Lingao County. Judging from the current situation, facing the Anjia army with sea and air superiority
The army and the coastline must not be able to be defended. Our only hope is to defend the city and wait until reinforcements arrive.
"There are more than 5,000 Chinese civilians in Lingao County. Based on my understanding of the Anjia Army, it is impossible for them to use heavy firepower equipment such as heavy artillery and aerial bombs. In this way, we can give full play to our advantages and engage in street fighting with them. How long can it last?
Just wait as long as we can, if we really can’t wait for reinforcements, we can also assess the situation, anyway, it won’t be a shame to lose at the hands of An’s army!”
"Yoshi!"
Junji Hirata pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "Let's do it like this. Immediately send someone to convey my order. All troops around Lingao must return to Lingao County for defense! Now gather the Chinese people in Lingao City to carry out the attack.
Detain them, be careful not to hurt them, we must leave a way for ourselves to survive!"
"Hey Yi——"
Xiao Lin understood the idea, bowed and turned around to leave, leaving Junji Hirata, whose face had regained his composure, thinking quietly in front of the map...Thank you, Mustache...Little Tiger Cat, Dead Man's Big Head, Nanqiao Bamboo Old Man, A Brief Look at History, Jin Muchan
