When the Anjia Army Guards Group successfully landed in the northern part of Hainan Island and continued to advance the war in depth, facing the attack of the Anjia Army, which had defeated the Germans head-on and was invincible in land battles in this era, the collapse of the Japanese army became inevitable.
What is uncertain is time.
During the head-on confrontation, the First Airborne Army took battalions and companies as units, and was carried by transport helicopters and airships to actively attack behind the Japanese defense lines.
At this time, the Japanese troops were mainly concentrated in the old town and Yongfa Town of Chengmai, Haikou Port and County in Qiongshan, and the county and port area in Wenchang. The other vast areas became pastures for the Anjia Army's airborne troops to gallop freely.
On the morning of the 23rd, the sea-ring highway connecting Qiongshan County and Wenchang Port was cut off by the Anjia Army. Sanjiang Town and Dapo Town were captured by airborne troops. Then about two battalions of troops built defenses in the Luoniushan area.
Position. In the afternoon of the same day, Yunlong, Jiuzhou, Meirenpo and other towns were occupied by the Anjia army.
On the morning of the 24th, about a regiment of paratroopers made a surprise attack on Dingcheng Town, where Ding'an County is located, and completely annihilated two squadrons of Japanese defenders and one regiment of puppet troops. At noon, Zuntan Town, Yongxing Town, and Xinzhou were behind Yongfa.
Po Town was successively captured by the paratroopers of the Anjia Army.
In the evening of that day, Anjiajun paratroopers began to move around Qiongshan County. Towns such as Shizilu, Longtang, Longqiao, and Lingshan were constantly harassed by Anjiajun, making the Japanese army overwhelmed and exhausted.
In the past two or three days, the First Airborne Army Engineer Corps built temporary military airports in the open areas of Sanjiang Town and Yunlong Town respectively. It can accommodate four to five Type IV airships taking off and landing at the same time. It has a maximum commercial load of 325 tons.
The air giants shuttled back and forth between the east and west fronts, and a steady stream of personnel and weapons and equipment from the Anjia Army gathered towards the rear of the Japanese army. The Japanese army's encirclement on the northern front gradually formed.
After four days of preparation, at 4 o'clock in the morning on April 25th, four days after the confrontation with the Japanese army on the old town line, the Anjia Army Guards Group concentrated three divisions of troops on the front and launched an attack on the Qiongshan defense line that the Japanese army had painstakingly managed.
Attack across the board.
At the moment when the attack order from the former enemy headquarters was issued, more than 400 artillery pieces from the two armies were concentrated and let out an earth-shattering roar. The fierce artillery fire reflected the sea surface of the nearby Dongshui Port red. The black night was also dyed orange.
The terrifying metal flames swept through the five or six kilometers of targets from Meiru Village to Xixiu Town like a storm. The shelling lasted for more than half an hour. It was not only a powerful deterrent to the Japanese army, but also a way to maximize the sweep for the mechanized troops.
Clear obstacles to progress.
As the artillery fire gradually extended deeper into the Japanese positions, a loud charge sounded. About a hundred Leopard II tanks, the same number of armored fighting vehicles, and more than twenty self-propelled artillery vehicles, led thousands of troops toward
The Japanese troops rushed over from their forward positions.
"Brothers! In addition to the liberation of Taiwan, the Battle of Hainan Island is probably one of the few battles on Chinese soil. Today we have to let the little devils learn what modern warfare is... kill me hard.
!”
The huge steel army rolled forward. In an armored command vehicle modified from a Tiger tank located in the middle of the battle formation, Colonel Wang Lin, the commander of the tank brigade directly under the Second Guards Army, spoke passionately to the commander through the in-car radio.
The tank crews, who were already moaning with pain, made the final mobilization.
Each group army of the Guards Group has a tank brigade directly under its control, which has undergone rigorous training since its establishment. However, the nature of the Guards Group determines that it will not have much time to charge into battle, so every officer and soldier is specially trained.
Cherish this hard-won opportunity.
After four days of unremitting efforts, most of the tanks of the three directly affiliated tank brigades have been ashore.
Among them, the Second Guards Army set out from Beigang in the southern part of Leizhou Peninsula and landed at Dongshui Port, which has the shortest voyage. It also transports the most vehicles. Now one brigade has landed all three tank battalions and three armored fighting vehicle battalions. In addition,
, one of the three armored artillery battalions is in place, plus some anti-aircraft artillery battalions, mechanized cavalry reconnaissance battalions, anti-tank battalions and vehicles from the armored engineer battalions, the troops are strong and the horses are strong, and the strength is the strongest.
In this attack, Wang Lin's brigade was on a first-come-first-served basis and took charge of the assault mission. One of the other two brigades is now on its way to the battlefield, and the other brigade is heading west to Dan County. They will airborne with the Second Guards Division.
Together with the First Division, they went south along the Ring Road to completely sweep away the Japanese troops in the western part of Hainan Island.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill the Japanese!"
Back to business, I heard the brigade commander's voice from the radio. The officers and soldiers were all in high morale and shouted in response to the brigade commander's words.
Under the cover of dense artillery fire, the huge armored battle group formed a wedge formation and charged towards the Japanese position.
The self-propelled howitzer battalion of the armored battle group used intensive artillery fire from 24 120mm self-propelled howitzers. After the artillery fire from the long-range heavy artillery extended forward, it immediately began to accompany the tanks and conduct close-in precision artillery fire.
How could the Japanese defense line, which was already riddled with holes, withstand such an attack?
Those Japs who were hiding in the collapsed trenches, holding bomb bags and cluster grenades, trying to attack the tanks. Many of them flew into the sky with the dirt before seeing the tanks. Maybe some were lucky enough to see them.
Amaterasu and more desperate Japanese continued to endure in purgatory.
The artillery fire continued to ravage the Japanese's nerves and passion without any pause.
Under the cover of 120mm artillery fire, the Leopard II tank's 105mm tank gun continued to exert its power, constantly stopping to eliminate exposed Japanese firepower points and approaching the Japanese frontline that was riddled with holes step by step.
A bunker made of sandbags flew into the sky under the attack of tank guns. The broken limbs and broken arms were shot around. Sergeant Zheng Kan, the gunner of the tank numbered 125 that hit the bunker, slammed hard in the download space.
He waved his fist and shouted loudly: "Haha, I've got another one, little devils, now you know how powerful I am, right?
"Go, go, go, influence me to direct the battle... Why can't you, son of a bitch, just calm down? I've only been listening to your baby's calls along the way."
Captain Zhou Jie, who is 23 years old this year and comes from Ya'an, Sichuan, is holding a periscope to carefully observe the surrounding environment and is also the commander of his own vehicle. He is somewhat dissatisfied and scolds him in his local accent. Then he talks to the radio and issues an order to his company.
: "Every vehicle should pay attention to the distance between each other. Maintain a good fighting formation and destroy all visible enemies!"
"yes!"
A flurry of responses came from the radio.
Getting closer and closer to the first trench that was almost razed to the ground. Suddenly, a group of Japanese soldiers with white cloth on their heads and bare upper body jumped up from nowhere. These guys with fierce faces, hunched over and hugging each other
He grabbed the bomb and rushed towards the tank howling.
"Da da da——"
"Porphyrin —"
Anti-aircraft machine guns, coaxial and parallel machine guns immediately spewed violent fury, but because the Japanese troops were hiding in too clever a location, too close and caught off guard, two Leopard II tanks were still blown up by the Japanese who were not afraid of death.
Under the cover and support of Leopard II tanks, wheeled and half-track armored fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers quickly came out from behind the tanks.
The 37mm tank gun, the 20mm Oerlikon machine gun and the 12.7mm dual-purpose machine gun. Coupled with the intensive firepower of the general-purpose machine gun as a secondary weapon, it was like the whip wielded by the god of death, quickly quelling the fire of life of a large number of Japanese.
A part of the armored infantry jumped off the personnel carrier, and in a three-by-three fighting group, they accompanied the tanks and armored vehicles in the attack. From time to time, they used the automatic rifles and submachine guns in their hands to knock the Japanese to the ground.
One after another, the Japs with their heads wrapped in white cloth and their upper bodies exposed, seemed to be lining up to attend their own funeral. They were swept down by hot bullets and shrapnel, and were shattered under the intensive firepower. They fulfilled their wish to "see you at the Yasukuni Shrine" when they went abroad.
Long-cherished wish.
Even though they had been influenced by the fanatical samurai spirit, the Japanese defense line was still inevitably loosened by the An's army's thunderous attack.
The surviving Japanese troops retreated one after another, and the three fronts were wiped out in a blink of an eye.
The Japanese commander Akio Doi knew that the possibility of retaking the position in front of the mechanized army of the Anjia Army was slim. After carefully studying the battle situation, he decided to resist in Xixiu Town and Changliu Town in the rear. Relying on the buildings in these towns, he tried to use street fighting to win the battle.
Delaying the Anjia Army's offensive, Japanese and traitor teams from other directions were quickly mobilized from all over the rear to continuously support the frontline battle.
It has to be said that Akio Doi's thinking was relatively clear, but he did not understand the true meaning of modern warfare at all, and did not have a clear understanding of the Anjia army's superiority in firepower, which led to the rapid depletion of Japanese troops.
The two armed helicopter brigades belonging to the Second and Third Army of the Anjia Army almost came out in full force. The low-flying armed helicopters were like the bull-headed and horse-faced horses sent by King Yama to harvest lives, pushing the torrent of steel forward.
Afterwards, all the Japanese troops trying to approach from the left and right were wiped out.
A row of dense rockets flew down, blowing away the Japanese troops hiding behind the barricades and the machine gun emplacements they had set up.
Almost at the same time, several missiles flew straight into the open windows like arrows, blasting the artillery hidden behind and trying to attack the passing Anjiajun tanks and officers and soldiers into parts, trying to become the protagonist of the street battle.
The artillerymen were turned into fish meat on the cutting board in such "burst firing", and screams came one after another.
Under intensive rocket and precise missile attacks, those low civil buildings, as well as some two- and three-story buildings made of reinforced concrete, the sturdy turtle shells that the devils relied on, quickly turned into structures that buried them.
's grave.
Fleeing from the north to the south, being acclimatized to the climate and constantly suffering from diseases was a big trouble faced by most of the puppet troops. Now they experienced such a terrible scene, and the morale of the puppet troops dropped sharply.
Deep down, no one wants to be a traitor. The reason why many people join the puppet army is mainly because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, or to earn food and clothing for themselves and their families. There are also shameless people who want to join the puppet army.
Seeking wealth and wealth through changing dynasties, these people are originally extremely cowardly by nature, and the Japanese who are good at bushido cannot reverse their bad nature.
Under such circumstances, the puppet troops, who had long been unable to withstand repeated attacks, simply staged an "uprising" on the battlefield, or raised the white flag and led the Anjia officers and soldiers to destroy the Japs, or simply opened fire on the Japs around them.
The Japanese were indeed tenacious. Under the circumstance that they had become confused and had already lost coordination with each other, they, under the leadership of grassroots officers, resolutely launched suicide attacks on the mechanized army of the Anjia Army.
At this time, the negative side of the Japanese army's initiative to retreat also appeared for the Anjia Army. Because the tanks, armored fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery vehicles and armored personnel carriers advanced too fast, the infantry could not keep up for a while, and only a small amount of armor was left.
The infantry attacked with the steel torrent, and some vehicles lacked infantry to cooperate with them.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Japanese soldiers shouted various slogans or cursed viciously, and then threw all the explosives they could find at their opponents.
Most of the Japanese soldiers were shattered into pieces by the dense rain of bullets before they could stand up straight. A few fell in the attack. Some Japanese soldiers broke through the blockade, got close to tanks and armored vehicles, and detonated bombs.
"What are you doing? Are these little devils crazy?"
Seeing explosions of fire all around, Zhou Jierao, who led his troops into an alley, was mentally prepared, but was still inevitably shocked by the tragic scene in front of him. The tenacity of the Japs was indeed not to be boasted. Every time he met the Japs
You will almost see such bloody scenes in battles, which makes people wonder what the Japanese are made of.
"careful--"
Just when Zhou Jie was slightly startled, several Japanese soldiers suddenly rushed out from the ruins nearby and arrived at the tank in a few steps.
Zhou Jie, who saw this scene through the periscope, had just said hello, but before he could finish his words, there was a loud "boom", the tank suddenly shook and stopped, and then more explosions exploded around the tank.
Although through the thick armor, the shrapnel generated by the explosion could not temporarily harm the five officers and soldiers in the tank, the car was getting hotter and hotter. It was probably that the fuel tank was ignited by the Japanese army, and the car must be abandoned at this time.
"Now the whole company follows the command of the instructor and continues to advance in depth... The battle is important, don't worry about us..." Captain Zhou Jie decisively gave a series of orders in Mandarin, and then the gunner Zheng Kan used machine guns to cover the evacuation of all crew members.
"Zheng Kan, withdraw!"
Seeing the successful evacuation of four comrades, Zheng Kan heard the company commander's order outside the vehicle. After firing all the machine gun bullets, he just climbed out of the turret when he was shot by a 6.5mm 38-type rifle from an unknown source.
The bullet remains on the beloved tank forever.
"Akan!"
"Xiao Zheng!"
The four robes cried together for their good brothers. They couldn't accept it. The heroic gunner who was jumping around and talking nonsense just now was lying on the turret like a helpless baby. His thin figure was quickly surrounded by the surrounding flames.
Slow shrinkage and carbonization.
It's a pity that at this time, they are powerless and can't do anything!
The tank soldiers who lost their tanks were abandoned alone on the battlefield, and the danger was self-evident. The armored infantry supporting the tanks and armored vehicles, because they were too few in number, sometimes overshot the target because of coordination problems and failed to do so.
All tanks were protected in time, so in the center of Xixiu Town, tanks were hit one after another and caught fire.
Not every crew member is as lucky as Zheng Kan. Four of the five crew members survived, and the casualties increased. Smoke and war blocked the sight of the armed helicopter, and accidental shooting accidents occurred from time to time. Steel
The torrent had to stop and wait for the infantry behind.
However, just when the Japanese army was refreshed and prepared to counterattack, overwhelming shouts of killing rang out. Tens of thousands of Guards infantry finally arrived and quickly knocked all the Japanese troops within sight to the ground. The Japanese army turned defeat into victory.
It was completely shattered, and the town was quickly submerged in the torrent of Anjiajun.
