At dawn on the 10th, four aircraft carriers, one battlecruiser, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and sixteen destroyers of the Second Squadron of the North Sea Fleet quietly set out from Incheon Port and headed out of Ganghwa Bay.
Heading to the Jeju Strait in the south.
By evening, the fleet had arrived at the outskirts of the Daheishan Islands.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the five regiments of the 10th Division of the 4th Airborne Corps of the Anjia Army assembled at the airports in Mokpo, Gwangju, Suncheon, Sacheon, Jinju and other places were lining up to board the AN7 transport plane, 90 I-type airborne tanks, and 135
A Type III airborne combat vehicle and 75 105mm wheeled armored assault guns drove into the cabin of the Y-II transport aircraft in sequence.
In the engine room, the maintenance staff are fixing all the tanks and combat vehicles on the special aluminum base plate. The base plate is connected to four other 10-meter-diameter parachutes and a 5-meter-diameter extraction parachute and placed on the slide rails.
At the airship airport next to the field airport, a large number of Leopard II tanks and ammunition trucks are slowly entering the cargo hold. As long as the 10th Airborne Division can successfully airborne in the plain area southwest of Jeju Port, the IV airship with a huge carrying capacity will
Troops, equipment, and ammunition will be continuously delivered there, forming a central flowering situation.
In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of night airborne landings, the Fourth Airborne Army is directly affiliated with the Special Forces Group and the 10th Air Force Division. The Special Forces Group of the 11th Air Force Division has dived to the island in advance to indicate the airdrop location for the airborne troops.
On the Hainan Peninsula, Changheung Peninsula, Gaoxing Peninsula and Yeosu Peninsula, more than 500 landing ships were already fully loaded with officers and soldiers of two divisions of the First Army, and they were rushing towards the other side of the Jeju Strait like arrows from the string.
At 8:30 p.m., the fleet transporting the 10th Airborne Division took off one after another, and was assembled in the air half an hour later. Since the Anjiajun Air Force had already destroyed all the Japanese radars, anti-aircraft artillery and air combat forces on Jeju Island, the transport fleet was almost arrogant.
Flying over Jeju Island.
It gets dark early in winter, and the officers and soldiers of the Special Forces Brigade have already used fires and infrared rays to indicate clear airborne landing sites for the airborne troops, and used high-frequency radio communication systems to guide the aircraft groups into the airborne area.
After continuous scanning by satellites and high-altitude radars. Reconnaissance aircraft took low-altitude photos and then dispatched special forces for on-the-spot investigation. The selected Aewol-eup area is about nine or ten kilometers away from the coastline. The terrain here is open and flat. It is the main farming area of Jeju Island. The Japanese army
The defensive forces were mainly concentrated along the coast. As long as they could complete the airborne landing unexpectedly and quickly, the paratroopers quickly built defensive positions. The Japanese troops scattered along the long coastline would hardly threaten the safety of the airborne troops.
"We have arrived at the destination. Now we are ready to parachute!" Colonel Yang Yanfei, chief of staff of the 10th Airborne Division, who was sitting in the cargo hold of the lead AN7 transport plane, saw the red parachute indicator light start to flash. He immediately picked up the radio and gave instructions to all airborne officers and soldiers to parachute.
Order.
As the plane descended to a height of four to five hundred meters above the ground, the cabin door slowly opened, and the fully prepared airborne officers and soldiers jumped out of the cabin in an orderly manner under the orders of their respective commanders. Parachutes bloomed in the sky.
They competed to open and fluttered to the earth like dandelions.
As for the Y-II transport aircraft carrying airborne tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and armored assault guns, after the tail door was opened, the aluminum plate assembly's pull-out umbrella located next to the hatch was released, and then was pulled by the wind, pulling the entire slide.
The aluminum plate assembly on the rail opens the parachute in the air after the assembly leaves the cabin and slowly falls to the earth.
At this moment, the paratroopers and infantry units had quickly gathered on the ground and started to set up blocking positions, while the crews of tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and armored assault guns were concentrating on observing the landing sites of tanks and fighting vehicles. After each one landed, they immediately separated their personnel.
Hands forward to receive.
...
The Japanese army deployed the 485th Infantry Regiment and the 77th Coast Guard Regiment on Jeju Island. Although the defenders lacked air attack means, the defense was still tight. There were many suitable landing sites with mines and coastal defense artillery.
, light and dark bunkers, anti-landing obstacles, mines, trenches, etc. are all available.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Second Lieutenant Nanmuti, the captain of the 77th Japanese Coast Guard Regiment stationed at Lihu Beach, 34 kilometers east of Yayue Town, listlessly leaned against the wall of the bunker paved with straw, feeling the air coming from the vents.
The frosty wind came in. He subconsciously shrank his neck. Then he lowered his head and looked at his watch close to his wrist.
On a night of waning moon, the moonlight and stars were dim. It was impossible to see the pointer in the dark bunker, so he had no choice but to move closer to the lookout. He found that it was still early for the changing of the guard, so he couldn't help but shake his head and turned to the sea outside.
The Jeju Strait is still the same as before, with nothing but monotonous undulating waves.
Due to the lack of ships and aviation power, the Anjiajun naval fleet has passed through the Jeju Strait in the past two years. The guard wing where Nan Moti is afraid of triggering an artillery battle and causing unnecessary sacrifices does not even dare to fire shore defense artillery, watching the opponent helplessly.
Sailing right under your nose.
Nanmuti knew that even if he discovered something at this moment, he could not be the first to fire the first shot. He only needed to report the situation to his superiors. For Japan, which was subject to intensive bombing and then experienced an eight-magnitude earthquake shortly after, keeping a low profile was the best option.
Very necessary.
Nanmuti leaned against the wall of the bunker again and dozed off in a daze. He didn't know how long it had passed before a crisp "clang" sound woke Nanmu up. He turned around and saw that it was a soldier's Type 38 rifle that had slipped to the ground.
, that soldier is sorry
The ground smiled at him. Kusumu shook his head, and suddenly remembered that he would change shifts in the early morning, and then he could lead the team back to the barracks behind to sleep. Just as he bent over and looked at the time again in front of the lookout, there was a shrill scream.
It sounded without warning.
Nanmuti once served as a soldier in the Kwantung Army. He was chased by the Anjia Army and fled to Busan. He then withdrew from Busan to Jeju Island and was incorporated into the garrison. He had certain combat experience. He knew it was a large-caliber artillery shell when he heard it.
The sound pierced the air, and he almost instinctively fell to the ground.
In just one second, an earth-shattering explosion sounded, which made Nanmuti, who was lying on the ground, dizzy, and his body was almost bounced off the ground.
When the gunfire stopped completely, Kusunoki shouted "enemy attack" in panic, and then rang the alarm bell.
Amidst the shrill sirens, the Japanese soldiers who were awakened by the violent explosion quickly got up, picked up their weapons and equipment, rushed out of the barracks and bunkers, and quickly came to the front position.
On the distant sea, the Second Squadron of the North Sea Fleet had determined to shoot Zhu Yuan after a test launch. Soon, continuous shells fell on the Japanese defense line, and exploded with brilliant fireballs.
, fire and gunpowder smoke quickly enveloped the entire Li Shue Bay beachhead.
After repairing and upgrading, the eight-door, two-seat, four-mounted 330 mm/50-caliber main guns of the 32,000-ton battlecruiser "Kongou" and the four-door, two-seat twin-mounted guns of the "Kinugasa" heavy cruiser with a displacement of 9,000 tons were repaired and upgraded. The combined 60-time caliber 203 mm main gun opened fire first, and then the main guns of the light cruiser and destroyer followed to suppress fire on the Li Shu Wan beach. Under the correction and guidance of more than a dozen seaplanes, they fired at targets that urgently needed to be cleared. Perform artillery coverage.
Amidst the rumbling, the anti-landing cement piles, barbed wire fences, wooden fences and deer villages set up by the Japanese army on the beach were in a mess under the intensive attack of naval guns. There was chaos everywhere, and the exposed bunkers and civil engineering works collapsed one after another. The Japanese army's Although the 150mm and 120mm coastal defense guns tried their best to fight back, they were weak. Instead, they were attacked by naval guns because their targets were exposed. They soon misfired.
While the naval guns were covering intensive firepower, fighter planes from the Anjia Army Air Force unexpectedly appeared over the Japanese defense positions. Under the guidance of flares and radar, they launched bombings against the Japanese beachheads and defense-in-depth positions.
Due to the popularization of integrated circuits and transistors, the electronic equipment of Anjiajun Air Force fighter aircraft has become very advanced, and many fighters have the ability to fight all day long. If the Japanese continue to look at things from the old perspective, they will suffer a big loss.
The top of the bunker where the Nanmuti team was located was opened by a 1,000-kilogram-class aircraft bomb. It was immediately torn into pieces. If Nanmu hadn't been alert and saw that Anjiajun's naval gun attacks and aerial bombardments were becoming more and more intensive, he would have led his troops from the bunker with obvious targets in advance. The bunker was evacuated, and it is estimated that it was crushed under the collapsed ruins by now.
Second Lieutenant Kusunoki and his soldiers huddled in the trench behind the bunker in fear, enduring the earth-shaking explosions coming from the surrounding area. Their hearts were beating wildly, and scarlet blood oozed from the mouths and noses of many of them. , obviously the internal organs were severely damaged by the sound waves and shock waves generated by the explosion.
Just when the Japanese closed their eyes and endured, waiting for the naval guns to thin out and attack the Anjiajun who landed, what happened next once again stunned the Japanese army.
About 120 armed helicopters escorted an equal number of transport helicopters, loaded with 1,500 fully armed officers and soldiers, and rushed towards the Japanese positions.
The Japanese army had no concept of vertical strikes in their minds. From officers to soldiers, everyone looked dumbfounded as the huge fleet of aircraft flew over their heads from the east and west directions and flew towards the rear of the position. For a moment, they didn't know how to deal with it. Responsible. Lieutenant Colonel Nogo Ichiho, the Japanese commander of this section of the beach defense, didn't know why at first, but he quickly realized that once this enemy from the air landed from behind and launched an attack, not only the frontal defense responsible for his own troops would be instantly The deep defense line would also take a heavy blow. In this case, he had to deploy two squadrons from the stretched troops and penetrate them to the rear to resist attacks from the front and back.
Officers and soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Army Aviation Regiments of the First Army quickly descended from the transport helicopter and, under the cover of the armed helicopters, launched an attack on the Japanese army from behind.
The Japanese troops in the deep defense line were knocked to the ground by the Anjia Army Army Aviation officers and soldiers coming from behind before they could turn their guns. The armed helicopters circling back and forth in the low altitude seemed to be in an uninhabited land, and flares continued to fall from the sky. Lighting up the earth, these aerial hunters strike at all moving targets.
The two Japanese squadrons returning for reinforcements were covered by a rain of rockets from the sky. Most of them were blown to pieces by the artillery shells before they could knock them down. The entire Japanese army's deep defense line became a sea of fire. The transport helicopters that unloaded the army aviation officers and soldiers used
The external Vulcan cannon poured a dense rain of bullets on the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops, whose anti-aircraft weapons had long been exhausted, were unable to parry the crazy attacks from a group of helicopters hovering five or six meters above their heads that seemed within reach. The Japanese soldiers, who seriously lacked experience in dealing with helicopter attacks, were unable to deal with the helicopters.
Yan ran left and right in the trench with no concealment ability, and was quickly shattered into pieces by the rain of bullets like water.
Before the remaining sporadic Japanese had time to escape from the terror, they immediately realized the terror of the elite Anjia army.
You must know that the combat troops affiliated to the Army Aviation are organized and trained entirely according to the special forces. They are like eagles in the sky, dragons in the sea, and tigers on the land. The officers and soldiers have outstanding military skills and work extremely closely with each other, like real killing machines.
The Japanese troops along the way, under the impact of 1,500 officers and soldiers, were like snow lions approaching fire, and the defense line quickly collapsed.
The transport helicopters of the two army aviation regiments did not return to the Daehan Peninsula in the north. Instead, they landed in waves on the large landing ship anchored in the central and southern part of the Jeju Strait, and carried the officers and soldiers on board to conduct vertical landings to the rear of the Japanese army.
At this time, Anjiajun's powerful electronic communication command system came into play. Under the precise calculation of computers, various units and departments cooperated closely to coordinate the landing and take-off rhythm of each helicopter, and carried out various operations in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan.
Continuously deliver troops to the Japanese rear.
After most of the Japanese troops defending the front line of Li Shu Bay were destroyed, the landing fleet began to launch a forced crossing. With the approaching fire support of light cruisers, destroyers and fire support ships, the landing craft quickly approached the landing site and landed smoothly. It didn't take long for them to land.
Eliminate the remaining enemies, establish a solid beachhead with the cooperation of army aviation officers and soldiers, and develop in depth.
After the breakthrough was achieved at Lishu Bay, the battle for the Guozhihai and Caicaiwan landing points in the west of Yayue Town began immediately. The powerful air force of the Anjia Army completely gained a suppressive advantage over the Japanese army, especially the troops sent to this line to cover the landings.
Twelve flying gunships, rough skin and thick flesh
, ignoring the small-caliber anti-aircraft cannon bullets on the ground, the 105mm manual-loading howitzer fired shells at the ground as if for free. Any fire points or moving troops were attacked from one to two hundred meters in the air.
of gunboats.
Just when the Japanese army was tired of parrying, the mechanized troops of the 10th Airborne Division of the Anjia Army Air Force suddenly appeared behind the defense line. The Japanese army cried like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Feeling that the end was coming, the Japanese troops rushed out of the remaining bunkers and fortifications, and were quickly knocked to the ground by the dense rain of bullets.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, General Min Jingxian, deputy commander and chief of staff of the Dahan Military Region, led two divisions of the Second Group Army ashore. As far as he could see, there were broken limbs and corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, and the air was filled with a thick
There was a smell of blood, and the beach was almost dyed red with the blood of the Japanese soldiers.
On the afternoon of the 11th, Jeju City was recovered. One day later, the towns of Daejeong, Seogwipo, and Pyoseon-eup were also captured by the Anja army. The remaining Japanese troops fled into the mountains in the central part and were not completely eliminated until a week later.
.
At the same time, the Japanese troops on Tsushima, Mishima, and the Oki Islands were all helpless in the face of the vertical attacks of the Anjia Army. Almost all the forward supporting points of the Japanese archipelago fell into the hands of the Anjia Army.
