At nine o'clock in the morning, China News Service, the national news agency of the Democratic Republic of China in Chang'an, introduced the latest war situation in Hainan to major media around the world in the form of a broadcast script.
"China News Service, Qiongzhou Strait Front Line, reported at 9:00 on the 21st: Eight divisions of three armies of our Guards Group broke through the Japanese defense line from a coast of more than 100 kilometers, successfully crossed the Qiongzhou Strait, and started from Houshui Bay in the west of Lingao.
, to Dongshui Port in Chengmai in the east, are the crossing areas for our heroic guards officers and soldiers.
"At 4:30 in the morning, I arrived in advance and mobilized the entire army and navy in the coastal waters of northern Hainan. Among them, the two divisions of the First Guards Army took the lead in breaking through the defense lines of Touzui Port, Xinying Port, Huanglong Port, and Tiaolou Port, and occupied Tiaolou Town.
, Xinying Town. At present, our right-wing army has moved forward to Bolian Town, advancing towards Lingao County, completely blocking the way for the Japanese army to retreat westward in Lingao.
"The three divisions of the Third Guards Army landed mainly on the long coastline from Lingaojiao to Majiao Port. By 8:30 in the morning, after four hours of fierce fighting, our army had successfully eliminated the enemies on the coastline and advanced to Lingaojiao.
The northern and eastern periphery of Gaocheng, together with the main force of the First Army, suppressed the Japanese troops in Lingaocheng.
"The above two armies started from Haiphong Port and Beibu Gulf. The Second Guards Army, which launched the sea-crossing campaign from the southern part of Leizhou Peninsula, mainly landed along Chengmai Bay, starting from Yubao in the west.
Port, east to Dongshui Port. As of the time of power generation, the forward troops on this road have occupied Macun, Qiaotou, Fushan, Laocheng and other towns, and are continuously expanding into the deep areas where the Japanese invaders are entrenched.
"Our three armies encountered Japanese pirates. Under the attack of our army, navy and air force, they all retreated in embarrassment. The soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the battle progressed extremely smoothly. In this situation, on the one hand, our army was brave and skillful in fighting, and was unstoppable. On the other hand,
It has a lot to do with the unpopularity of the Japanese army as an invader.
"Even though the Japanese army was driven out of the mainland by our army last year, they still did not learn their lesson and tried to rely on the natural dangers of the Qiongzhou Strait to resist stubbornly. As everyone knows, after this world war, the Chinese people have stood up and not only have an invincible army
.There is also a powerful navy that is moving closer to a first-class navy. Under the powerful offensive of our army, the resistance of the Japanese army will definitely collapse."
When the world's major media received this battle report, the fierce battle on Hainan Island was still continuing. However, the world's attention is currently focused on the outcome of the Japan-US war in the Central Pacific. Hainan Island, as a local battlefield, has
Did not attract much attention, Britain, America, Soviet Union
The governments of other countries did not even send congratulatory messages. Only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing National Government could not wait to send out a message, claiming that Hainan Island was an inalienable and important part of China's territory. It was hoped that An Yi, who had already founded the country in the south, could take over Hainan after the war.
The island was handed over to the National Government.
In response, Chang'an's diplomatic department did not make any response... Chengmai Bay, Xixiu Town northeast of Dongshui Port, the Japanese temporary command headquarters, Major General Akio Doi, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Navy South Army, was ordered to rush to Xixiu Town to temporarily serve as the North
Line commander position.
"What's the situation now?"
Akio Doi strode into the war room, glanced at the generals who had put down their work, and asked sternly: "Why don't you attack? Don't you know the importance of the old town to us?"
Colonel Mizuo Muraoka, captain of the Haikou Guards Corps who had just arrived at Xixiu Town, was holding his breath and said with a red face: "Doi-kun, I don't have enough troops in hand, how can I attack? If I use my precious troops
It's wasted in vain, and the Chinese army on the opposite side launches a counterattack, who will resist?"
"Yoshi!"
Akio Doi nodded in relief, with a smile on his face: "I understand Mr. Muraoka's concerns, but this is not a reason for us to hold back!" At this point, he deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone
Jun, this time I brought an infantry brigade
, there are also two elite tank squadrons, and at the same time, I have brought two China divisions to the front line. As long as we hold on until noon, the 52nd Infantry Brigade will arrive, and the first one before nightfall
The two regiments of the 70th Division will become our strong backing!
"Gentlemen, with such a powerful combat corps, don't you still have the confidence to capture the Chinese position in front of you? You must know that they have just landed, are seriously lacking in strength, and do not have much heavy equipment. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They can
Isn’t this a great opportunity for us to seize the opportunity to reverse our army’s embarrassing record of no victory against the Anjia Army?”
Akio Doi's words immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the war room.
"Okay, for the great cause of the empire, Muraoka also risked his life!" Muraoka gritted his teeth and immediately ordered two brigades to be mobilized from along Haikou Bay. In this way, the Japanese army in the northeast of the old town was strengthened to six brigades.
Together with the two puppet military divisions, the total strength reached more than 30,000, which was enough to fight a big war.
"Boom boom——"
The fierce battle started at about 9:30 in the morning. Akio Doi personally went to the front line of Meiru Village to supervise the formation. With a small number of Japanese troops, he drove a large number of puppet troops to attack the temporary position built by the Anjia Army outside the old town. However, the battle was not as expected at all.
Simple, although the Japanese army tried their best, they still failed to make any progress.
With the help of the air force, the Anjia army in the old town not only withstood several fierce attacks by the Japanese and puppet troops under the cover of tanks, but also launched several beautiful tactical counterattacks. The Japanese army, which was frustrated in several charges, not only
The casualties were increasing under the stubborn resistance of the Anjia Army. Even the Type 98 light tank, which was used to cover the infantry charge, suffered a sharp increase in battle losses.
During the battle, the Anjia Army specifically looked for these thin-skinned tanks with a thickness of 12 to 16 mm. The portable rocket launchers and the i-type 75 mm recoilless tanks opened fire with all their strength. In just a few rounds of concentrated strikes, the two tanks cooperated with the Japanese and puppet troops.
The squadron was repulsed, and more than ten tanks were damaged and destroyed.
At the same time, the dive bombers and attack aircraft of the Anjiajun Air Force supporting the landing troops were like cats that smelled fish, swarming in and violently bombing the area where the Japanese and puppet troops were gathering. In addition, they could hover in the air
With the help of armed helicopters, the Japanese and puppet troops' attacks became increasingly weak.
Akio Doi frowned tightly. He knew that the longer the delay, the more detrimental it would be to the entire battle. However, the Anjia army on the opposite side was far stronger than imagined. In just two or three hours, the Japanese army suffered more than a thousand losses.
The puppet army lost nearly three regiments, but there was no hope of a breakthrough... Lingao County.
The general attack on Lingao City by five regiments of the Seventh Division of the Third Guards Army has lasted for an hour.
According to the changes on the battlefield, An Jin issued the second phase combat order according to the plan formulated by the General Staff. The Second Division of the First Guards Army turned west at Bolian Town and moved forward to Guangcun Town, between Gaopo Village and Nanbao Town.
, with the regiment as a unit, blockade the sea-ring highway and many muddy trails to block possible Japanese attacks in the direction of Danzhou Bay.
After arriving at the south of Lingao City, the 1st Guards Division went directly south along the coast road, passed through Bohou, Huangtong and other villages and towns occupied by the 1st Airborne Army, and joined forces with the 9th Division of the 3rd Guards Army and the 4th Division of the 2nd Army.
in Fushan Town, and then three divisions launched an attack on Chengmai County.
After capturing Chengmai County, the First Division and the Fourth Division turned to march northeast, passing through Meiting, Huangzhu, Bailian and other villages and towns, and then entered the old town, where they joined the troops who landed from Macun Port and Dongshui Port in Chengmai Bay.
The Sixth Division of the Second Group Army converged to form a powerful strategic cluster in the northeast.
Chengmai County was guarded by two regiments of the First Airborne Corps that cooperated in the operation. The 9th Division did not stop in Chengmai, but directly followed the second-line highway built by the Japanese army, attacking eastward from the south bank of the Nandu River, sweeping through Chang'an, Ruixi, and
Jiashan and other villages and towns, proceed to the south of Yongfa Town. If you encounter Japanese troops halfway, if the enemy is weak, defeat them. If the enemy is strong, take advantage of the danger and defend.
In the attack on the enemy at Lingao, the 8th Division of the 3rd Guards Army was used as a strategic reserve. On the Chengmai Bay front line, the 5th Division of the 2nd Guards Army cooperated with the 1st Airborne Division to clear the coast of Chengmai Bay.
and deep behind enemy lines, will serve as preparation for the strategic cluster in the Northeast
team and stationed in Macun Town. After the 7th Guards Division captures Lingao City, these three divisions will be deployed on the front-line battlefield in the old town. The purpose is to concentrate superior forces to eliminate the enemies in Haikou and Qiongshan in one fell swoop, liberate Haikou Port, and then
Then depending on the progress of the battle, consider whether to send troops east or west.
Throughout the war, the three divisions of the First Airborne Army will be used as local garrison forces and strategic reserves. They will be used as mobile forces on local battlefields and airdropped to the rear of the Japanese army by airships, transport planes and helicopters, completely disrupting the Japanese army's command and strategic deployment.
"Da da da——"
The Battle of Lingao started in the north and east of the city. After the city wall was blown open, the Japanese army relied on city buildings and temporary barricades to resist stubbornly. The city was filled with flickering flames and thick smoke.
At this time, on Dongying Road close to the city wall, about a platoon of Anjia officers and soldiers were firmly suppressed by a heavy machine gun set up by the Japanese army on a barricade made of sandbags and two machine guns behind the walls on both sides of the street.
Behind the building, the Japanese firepower formed a dense crossfire, which rendered the rocket launchers and recoilless rifles equipped to the squad useless.
A communications soldier immediately spoke to the walkie-talkie and called for an armed helicopter to suppress fire from the air.
Soon, two Type III armed helicopters quickly flew towards the area called by the platoon. The densely packed honeycomb rocket launchers on both sides of the huge fuselage were full of murderous intent. Under the guidance of the communications troops, the two armed helicopters hovered.
More than fifty meters in the air, rockets were fired at the Japanese barricades.
A violent explosion sounded, and almost instantly, the Japanese machine gun bunker disappeared. Only half a bag of sandbags remaining at the end of the street and sand scattered around proved the traces of its former existence.
The two helicopters turned their noses and aimed at the courtyard walls on both sides of the street to attack. Four consecutive rockets hit the hole in the courtyard wall into a mess. The sound of continuous shooting from Japanese machine guns fell silent for an instant.
The two armed helicopters flew towards their respective targets and circled at low altitude. Seeing the machine gun barrels that had been blown to pieces and the Japanese soldiers lying on their backs covered in blood, the pilots of the two armed helicopters flew towards them.
The ground reported the situation, and then immediately sent fire support to the next place without stopping.
In Lingao City, the Japanese army's cleverly laid out firepower points kept emitting smoke or exploding under the low-altitude shooting of armed helicopters. The officers and soldiers of the Second Division of the 1st Airborne Army, who coordinated the attack with the 7th Guards Division, continued to attack the Japanese army.
The rear planes dropped a large number of troops and launched targeted clearings of Japanese military fortifications throughout the city. Each fire point was wiped out in a pinch from the front and rear.
Of course, this does not mean that the Japanese army did not work hard. The Japanese soldiers, who were tortured by Bushido, conscientiously used their 38-type, 99-type rifles and submachine guns in their hands, and even their flesh and blood to resist the attack of Anjiajun. However, they were attacked by Anjiajun.
An all-round attack from heaven to earth.
The Japanese army can only fight with a small number of soldiers and weapons in hand. As for the artillery deployed at key locations, it has no effect at all. The Anjiajun dive bombers and attack aircraft hovering in the sky are on standby at any time, once they hear the call of ground troops
, immediately swooped down with a shrill roar, like an eagle fighting a rabbit, and the Japanese artillery position quickly disappeared.
The battle lasted until noon, and the Japanese army had been divided and surrounded by the Anjia Army that broke into the city. At this time, more than 40 Leopard II tanks transported ashore by landing craft from Xinying Port and Bobu Port had joined the battle.
Hiding in an ordinary two-story house on Jiangbei Road, Colonel Hirata Junji, the commander of the Japanese Lingao National Guard Guards, saw the sight of the steel beast advancing through the telescope and let out a desperate cry. The chief of staff beside him, Susumu Kobayashi,
Lieutenant Colonel also had a bitter look on his face and said to Junji Hirata with his whole body trembling:
"Commander, at this point, we have fulfilled the duties of an imperial soldier. It is useless to continue fighting. It is better to..."
Now the Japanese army has become a mess, and the anti-tank firepower points located in various parts of the city have been cleared one by one. After losing these anti-tank fires, the Japanese army has no way to deal with the steel torrent of the Anjia Army.
Junji Hirata licked his lips and said in a trembling voice: "I still say what I said, there is no shame in being defeated at the hands of the Anjiajun! Pass my order, raise the white flag, and surrender to the Anjiajun...
