Just as the fierce fighting was going on in the northern part of Hainan Island, the Chinese and Japanese teams were also fighting on the Sanya Bay line in the south.
In the early morning of the 21st, the Third Guards Division, which had all gone ashore, after consolidating the beachhead defense line, resolutely launched an attack on the Japanese army's deep positions regardless of the fog that filled Sanya Bay in the early morning.
This heavy fog came very suddenly. It was probably affected by the continuous war. A large amount of dust was thrown into the air by the explosive air waves, causing pollution. After the collision of hot and cold airflows, a rare haze was formed over Sanya Bay. The visibility was below 3
About forty meters, beyond this distance the field of view will be seriously obstructed.
In this kind of weather, it is impossible to use fighter planes to bomb the Japanese positions, and naval guns are also powerless against the Japanese firepower hidden in the thick fog. This is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the Anjia Army who is on the offensive.
Major General An Yanxing, commander of the Third Guards Division, was very worried that the Japanese army would use heavy fog to set up anti-tank positions. When the field of vision was severely restricted, the Japanese army's rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, and even cluster grenades and incendiary bombs could be used.
To effectively kill tanks at short distances, he did not dispatch tank troops. Instead, he formed a tight battle formation with a regiment of troops in the middle of the entire front and slowly advanced towards the Japanese positions.
At the forefront of the offensive force, the roughly one kilometer wide offensive front formed by the sparse offensive formation of three companies of the Anjia Army Guards officers and soldiers, along with the tanks, trucks, cannons, and guns created by the Chinese and Japanese troops in yesterday's fierce battle,
Wrecks can be seen everywhere, including destroyed fortresses and bunkers with grotesque shapes. The thousands of mutilated corpses left behind by the Japanese counterattack in the middle of the night and early in the morning are all shocking.
Affected by the high temperature in Sanya, many corpses of Japanese soldiers began to emit corpse odor overnight, and the air was filled with a strong putrid smell.
If these corpses are not disposed of as soon as possible and left to lie at the front of the position, they will rot and deteriorate in two or three days, which can easily turn into a terrible plague. This is why when the weather is extremely unfavorable to the attackers, An
An important reason why Yanxing still insists on launching an attack.
On the other hand, An Yanxing received a telegram from the Army Group and the Hainan War Command forwarded by the former enemy headquarters on the southern front. He was asked to lead his troops to seize Sanya Port as soon as possible at all costs. This also meant that the current Third Guards
As a teacher, every minute and every second is precious.
The Third Guards Division successfully landed in Sanya Bay and gained a foothold. An Jin assessed the situation and, on the advice of the old commander Gu Changfeng, submitted to the Military Commission and the General Staff for approval, and agreed to the commander of the Navy's First Task Force, who was coordinating the front-line war in Sanya Bay.
At the request of Major General Luo Yaomin, the army, navy and air force must work together to capture Sanya Port today and tomorrow, and use this as a stronghold to temporarily deploy Fu Guanjie's Third Group Army from the Southeast Asian theater to join the Qiongya battlefield to accelerate the progress of the Hainan war.
Gu Changfeng had his own considerations when he crossed his legs.
The 3rd, 10th, 11th, and 12th Group Armies that traveled south from Central Asia have successfully arrived in the Malay Peninsula and have begun recovery training. From the ice and snow of the Urals, Western Siberia and the Caspian Sea to the tropics where summer is all year round
The rainforest area is undoubtedly a huge test for officers and soldiers who have traveled thousands of miles.
On the way to the Malay Peninsula, when the train arrived in Central Asia, the officers and soldiers took off the thick cotton-padded jackets. When they arrived in the western desert of Afghanistan, the warm sweaters made of wool became a burden. When they arrived in the Indus River Valley
, I have to take off the close-fitting autumn clothes I have been wearing since autumn last year.
When the train was traveling in the Ganges Plain, the officers and soldiers were already wearing fresh spring and autumn clothes. When they arrived in the Malay Peninsula, short clothes and short sleeves became the main theme. You can imagine. Faced with such a drastic change in temperature, a normal person would
What kind of disorder will occur in the body and functions?
Fortunately, the first batch of the Third Army to arrive in the Malay Peninsula was Gu Changfeng's old unit. Before heading north to the Northeast last year, the officers and soldiers had been stationed in Siam and the Malay Peninsula for a long time, so it was not difficult to adapt to the hot and rainy climate.
The second batch of arriving 10th, 11th, and 12th Group Armies were the old units of Hu Jialin and Yang Guan who continued the lifeline of the ** Division. The defense area when they were formed happened to be in the Mekong River Plain on the north bank of Nanhua Bay. The officers and soldiers were worried about the humidity.
The sultry climate is not something to be afraid of, but it still requires a gradual adaptation process.
The 19th and 20th Group Armies, which are marching towards the garrison, were adapted from the guard corps of the two front armies of Gu Changfeng and Hu Jialin respectively. They were both once powerful forces stationed in Indochina. Even though they had just left the battlefield in West Asia,
The 7th, 8th, and 9th armies, which are currently mobilizing to the east, originally belonged to Li Jinlong and Zhang Chengzhu's Indian combat group. The subcontinent also has a tropical climate, so it is much faster for ordinary people to adapt to it than ordinary people.
Gu Changfeng had a large number of troops and heavy responsibilities on his shoulders. He was in great need of accumulating island combat experience. He had always regarded the Hainan war as a rehearsal for the attack on Sumatra. Seeing that there was an opportunity on the front line of Sanya Bay, he immediately proposed to put the Third Army into the southern battlefield.
, An Jin believed that a pincer attack from the north and the south would more easily collapse the Japanese army, so he agreed.
What the Third Guards Division currently needs to do is to capture Sanya Port within two days and consolidate its outer positions. This way, when the Third Army arrives, it can quickly disembark through the dock of Sanya Port and quickly engage in the war against Japan.
middle.
The Japanese commander, Major General Yoshitaka Wada, was not an easy person.
Last night, when the Japanese army continuously counterattacked the beachhead held by the Anjia Army, Yoshitaka Owata and Colonel Miyazawa Teizo, captain of the 484th Regiment of the Japanese Army, went to Hotan Du Town, Sanya Town, and met with the other two regiments of the 171st Division.
After explaining the reason for the death of lips and teeth, the two commanders presented the telegram order from Eitaro Uchiyama. After careful consideration, the two commanders finally decided to follow the command of Yoshitaka Owata. Therefore, the Japanese army's strength is still relatively sufficient.
Yoshitaka Owata knew that once the Anjia Army broke through the second line of defense, the situation on the entire southern front would quickly fall into trouble. After careful consideration, he decided to take advantage of the morning mist that seriously affected his vision and send a large group of Japanese troops to target the Anjia Army's attack.
To counterattack, on the one hand, it delays the Anjia Army's attack and buys valuable time for the arrival of reinforcements. On the other hand, it attracts the attention of the Anjia Army commander. A magnet effect is formed on a certain section of the front, so that other lines of defense will naturally follow.
Become safe.
The Chinese and Japanese armies encountered each other in the west of Fenghuang Town. Later, the Sanya Phoenix Airport was built here, but now it is still a piece of farmland. The two sides fought in close combat. The first sound was the shooting sound of Japanese-made Type 99 rifles, and then it quickly evolved into Anjia.
The thunderous sound of military I-type automatic rifles.
The dense sound of gunfire was mixed with the screams and painful moans of a large number of wounded soldiers dying.
In the mist, rocket launchers, mortars, and recoilless rifles from both sides exchanged fire. Anjiajun's general-purpose machine guns fired at the Japanese army's crooked, chicken-neck machine guns, and grenades. Fierce hand-to-hand combat even occurred on local battlefields.
During the battle, the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the face of the powerful close combat firepower of the Anjia Army. The Japanese soldiers who had their hands cut off by the bombing howled and picked up their severed hands, and the Japanese soldiers whose stomachs were cut by grenade shrapnel shed their hands in horror.
His intestines were stuffed back, and there were bloody and exciting scenes everywhere.
However, in such a melee, the Guards officers and soldiers suffered considerable casualties.
The Chinese and Japanese forces were entangled. Whether it was the naval guns of the Anjia Army on Sanya Bay or the Japanese second-line positions and the artillery positions on Wushiling, they were unable to function at all. Lieutenant Colonel Morita Sueyoshi, who led the assault, asked for instructions.
Yoshitaka Wada provided reinforcements.
After receiving the battle report from the front line, Yoshitaka Wada picked up the telescope and looked at the sea shrouded in fog. After pondering for a long time, under the expectant eyes of the surrounding staff, he picked up the phone 97 that connected the artillery positions that had been repaired overnight by the communications corps, and called the artillery commander Aoki.
Colonel Shishu said: "Aoki-kun, I order the artillery at Wushiling to fire fiercely at the battle site ahead, inflicting a heavy blow to the Chinese army!"
After hearing this extremely cruel order, Colonel Aoki Shusuke was silent for a while, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Commander, there are still seven to eight hundred imperial officers and soldiers in front of us within the range of the cannon attack. What will happen if we strike like this indiscriminately?"
Causing huge casualties to our side!"
"Baga!"
Wada Yoshitaka roared loudly: "Aoki-kun, don't you understand the current situation? We are already in a desperate situation. Only by destroying our opponents at all costs can we have a chance to survive. If we worry about gains and losses, you and I will die without death.
Ground! Execute the order!" In front of the headquarters' lookout, more than a dozen Japanese artillery positions located on Wushiling removed their camouflage. After simple aiming, they began to fire violently at the battle site. The Japanese artillery had already assigned code names to various places along Sanya Bay.
Therefore, when aiming, you only need to adjust according to the predetermined shooting parameters. In just two minutes, hundreds of artillery shells fell on the battlefield.
The dense artillery shells fell like hailstones, and in the wild dance of shrapnel, the Anjia Army guards and Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
Covered by heavy fog, the naval guns on the sea were unable to detect the Japanese artillery firepower, and were unable to suppress the fierce Japanese artillery fire. Although every naval officer and soldier was anxious, they were somewhat unprepared for the current situation.
<, requiring full firepower on the second-line position and intensive shooting aimed at the front of the position.
After a day and night of fierce fighting, Matsuura Yasumasa had become numb to death. Considering that one Japanese soldier could be exchanged for the life of an Anjia officer and soldier, such an exchange was undoubtedly a good deal for the Japanese army, which had always been at a disadvantage in the battle between the two sides.
So he did as he was told.
The sharp whistling sounds of mortars and grenade launchers and the dull continuous fire of light and heavy machine guns and machine guns sounded densely. The flying fireballs passing through the sky intertwined into a dense fire net, just like the scythe wielded by the god of death, harvesting at will.
The lives of soldiers from both China and Japan are affected.
Under such a fierce gun attack, the Anjia Army's offensive troops suffered huge casualties. Among the three offensive companies, five or six platoons almost disappeared in an organized manner. After receiving an urgent report from the front line, An Yanxing immediately
He was heartbroken, but there was no point in regretting it at this time. The atrocities of the Japanese army completely angered the resolute young general. He simply issued an order for the entire division to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese defense line on a ten-kilometer-long front.
Soon, dense gunshots were heard everywhere in the mist, and amidst the loud blasts of charges, the shouts of killing were overwhelming and soared into the sky.
Although the Japanese army had relatively sufficient troops, there were not many people in each section of the defense line spread over more than ten kilometers. Facing the fierce offensive of the Anjia Army, the Japanese army felt tremendous pressure from top to bottom.
Especially the Japanese artillery. The Anjia Army still had targets when they focused on attacking, but now the front of the position is full of gunfire, and they don't know where to fire.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the second-line position in front of Fenghuang Town was broken through by the Fourth Regiment of the Third Guards Division. About three battalions of troops broke into the center of the town and engaged the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat. The brave Japanese soldiers were rushed to death by the revengeful Anjia officers and soldiers.
At the end of the day, under the unique three-three attack formation of the Anjia Army, the remnants of the Japanese army retreated to Shuijiao Village in the north of the town in embarrassment, relying on the hills to build a defense line.
Half an hour later, the Fifth Regiment of the Third Guards Division broke through the Sanya River defense line carefully constructed by the Japanese army, cut into the line between Miaolin Village and Xinlian Village between Wushiling, Lizhiling, and Baopoling, cutting off the Huanhai Highway and
Railways and connections between various Japanese military departments were also cut off.
At 9:30 a.m., as the fog gradually dissipated, visibility returned to normal.
The Second Regiment of the Third Guards Division, which suffered heavy losses under indiscriminate artillery fire from the Japanese army, with the assistance of naval artillery and air force, broke through the Japanese defense line at Tongjing Village and advanced with great success along the way, including Baocun and Plum Village.
A defensive line was built on the western slope of Wushiling at left and right, threatening the security of the Japanese headquarters from the flanks.
Taking advantage of the chaotic opportunity when the Japanese army could not connect head to tail, the first and third regiments, led by two tank battalions, rushed towards the Sanya Port where the Japanese army was entrenched.
Sanya Port is located where the Sanya River enters the sea. It is separated from the Luhuitou Peninsula to the left, adjacent to the Yulin Military Port occupied by the Japanese Navy. It faces the Paracel Islands across the sea to the southeast and faces the South China Sea. The railway starting from the port area passes through the Yinggehai Salt Field.
Basuo Port leads directly to Shilu Iron Mine.
After five years of non-stop construction, the Japanese built six bridges, including three railway bridges, on the "Y"-shaped river formed by the confluence of the east and west rivers in Sanya and the Linchun River, connecting the river west of Sanya to
Hedong and Hexin Island are connected.
The Japanese army deployed three brigades in the port and town of Sanya. The battle started at two o'clock in the afternoon and before sunset, the Hexi area was successfully recovered with the support of naval guns... An old man at home was sick, and the emperor was tossed between home and hospital.
, not only the coding status is completely lost, but the speed is also affected. I have only finished one chapter now.
