The commander of the Pacific Battle was General Li Haitao, commander of the Chinese Navy's First Fleet. In addition, General Li Hainan, commander of the Marine Corps, is responsible for commanding ground operations. To be precise, the Marine Corps is the main force of this Pacific Battle, the Navy
The First Fleet just provides fire cover for the Marine Corps and ensures the safety of maritime transportation lines! After all, to completely eliminate the German army entrenched in the Pacific, the Marine Corps still needs to attack the shore before all these German troops can be solved.
of!
Germany's most important colony in the Pacific was German Guinea, located in the north of New Guinea. Originally, troops could be sent directly to attack German Guinea from the Nanyang Province of China. However, New Guinea's island is high and dense, with swamps everywhere, even if elite troops are sent
It is also difficult for special forces to cross this island, let alone send large troops. There is no road on the island, and it is impossible to attack from the west to the east. The only way is to carry out landing operations.
However, this is the area where the German army is focused on the deployment. Among the 200,000 people deployed by the German army in the Pacific, 100,000 people hit the eastern and northern parts of New Guinea. In addition, in the past few years,
Germany transported a large amount of steel and cement and other building materials from China, and almost arranged a fortress in the entire coastal area of New Guinea.
The most important point is that German submarines are not only deployed on New Guinea islands, but most of them are deployed on small islands in the Pacific. To completely solve the threat of German submarines to China's Pacific routes, you have to
Only by occupying all these islands are enough. Therefore, the Chinese Marine Corps had to fight with the Germans one by one for island.
Fortunately, China has an absolute upper hand in terms of naval, air force, and military strength. Even if Germany has been operating on these islands for several years, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Chinese army. What they are doing now
It is like dying struggle, hoping to rely on the islands in the Pacific to hold back as much Chinese military strength as possible, thereby reducing the threat from other battlefields!
On January 8, the 11th and 12th and 13th and 13th and escorted the 1st and 10th and 10th divisions of the Marine Corps and embarked on the journey. The fleet set out from Ryukyu.
, headed straight to the Northern Mariana Islands. Because Guam is a Chinese colony and the Chinese Navy deployed heavy troops there, the German army did not deploy too many troops on the Northern Mariana Islands. The Marine Corps defeated the Northern Mariana Islands
Treat it as the first target of the attack. It is just for the purpose of practicing. This time, the Marine Corps was expanded, and many troops were organized into a large number of new recruits, which needed to be trained to exert their combat power. And Germany
The weak Northern Mariana Islands are undoubtedly the best target!
The German army's core in the Northern Mariana Islands is Saipan, where the German Navy deployed hundreds of combat aircraft on the island. However, after the outbreak of the war, bombers deployed by the Chinese Navy on Guam destroyed Saipan.
The German bases on the ground destroyed most of the German combat aircraft. Since then, the planes that took off from Guam every day bombed Saipan, making it impossible for the German army to repair the island's airport, and those aircraft became decorations!
On the morning of January 18, the first Chinese Navy Fleet arrived less than 200 kilometers away from Saipan. Hundreds of bombers that took off from the 11th Special Mixed Fleet once again bombed the airport on Saipan and other
Military targets. At the same time, the 13th Special Mix Fleet, which set out first, has arrived at the outer sea of Saipan. The 13th Special Mix Fleet is a battleship formation. It consists of two "Imperial-class" battleships and four "Tang-class" battleships.
Their main role in this battle was to provide firepower support to the Marine Corps. The German army built countless fortifications on the islands in the Pacific, especially some solid fortresses, which required large-caliber naval guns from battleships to be able to hit.
Lose!
At 10 a.m., the 13th Special Mixed Fleet of the Chinese Navy launched a shelling of a German fortress on Saipan! The German army built a fortress group composed of steel and cement in the western harbor of Saipan and installed twenty large doors.
Caliber fortress cannons attempt to defend Saipan. However, these strong fortresses seem so vulnerable in front of the "Imperial" battleships and "Tang-class" battleships of the Chinese Navy. The 406th of the "Imperial" battleship
The millimeter naval gun, the armor-piercing shells that were fired weighed more than one ton. Under the influence of huge kinetic energy, it can easily tear open the German fortress. The 381mm main gun of the Tang-class battleship is not much less powerful, in this case
Next, the German fortress is a joke!
After an hour of shelling, the fortress built by the German army became ruins. The forces of a regiment of the 1st Marine Division began to land. Although the remaining German troops were still fighting back, this was no different from being a mantis arm to chariots.
The fighter jets that took off from the aircraft carrier provided sufficient fire support for the landing troops. H9C's Canghu' dive bombers blew the German fortifications into the sky with sharp roars.
The battle on Saipan ended in just three days. Two Chinese Marine divisions landed, and with the support of fleet and air firepower, the Chinese Marine Corps landed very smoothly. In addition, the German army was in Northern Mariana.
There were not many troops deployed on the archipelago, with only more than 5,000 people in total, so the battle ended soon! After that, the First Fleet of the Chinese Navy took two days to occupy the entire Northern Mariana Islands.
After resolving the German troops on the Northern Mariana Islands, the first Chinese naval fleet headed south and attacked the Palau Islands, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands in the east. Although on these islands, the German troops carried out heroic
Counterattack, but under the huge gap in strength between the two sides, their counterattack could not change the progress of the war at all.
In order to change the decline, the German Navy's submarines in the Pacific launched an attack on the Chinese Navy's First Fleet. However, with the cooperation of the Chinese Navy's anti-submarine patrol aircraft and anti-submarine warships, the German army's plan was quickly shattered.
The Chinese Navy's "city-class" destroyers and the "Erhai-class" frigates were equipped with sonar, and were much more advanced than the sonar used on the "Lop Nur-class" frigates. It was difficult for the German Navy's submarines to escape the search.
Once the submarine is exposed, the outcome can be imagined!
German submarines may be more proficient in attacking merchant ships without defense, but if they encounter Chinese Navy warships, they will only be dead! Within a month after the Chinese Navy launched the Pacific Battle, the German Navy deployed in the Pacific Ocean.
Seventy percent of these submarines were destroyed. Most of these submarines were found and destroyed by the "urban-class" destroyers and "erhai-class" frigates of the Chinese Navy. Some of them were patrolled by anti-submarine patrols.
The aircraft discovered and then sank! The remaining German Navy submarines were also eliminated in the following months!
As for the fleet composed of light surface warships deployed by the German Navy in the Pacific, facing the main force of the Chinese Navy's First Fleet, it has no ability to resist! The 13th Special Mixed Fleet alone is enough to easily destroy them!
By the end of February 1919, the front had advanced to the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands, which had approached Germany's core in the Pacific Ocean. The German army was particularly well prepared on the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands, and deployed on the two islands.
Heavy troops and stockpiled a large amount of combat supplies.
The Chinese Marine Corps found that it would cost a lot of money to take over the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands, and it would take a lot of time. At this time, the Marine Corps' staff officer suggested to bypass the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands.
The islands with heavy troops were deployed on them, attacking those islands with weak defense, thus ensuring the rapid opening of the road to march into the German Guinea Road. As for the islands guarded by heavy troops, the siege method was adopted! The navy and air force occupied absolutely
Advantage: When German aircraft were basically destroyed, even if the German army could defend these islands, it would not have much impact on the battlefield.
Admiral Li Hainan, commander of the Chinese Marine Corps, adopted this suggestion, which increased the progress of the Chinese Marine Corps on the Pacific battlefield a lot. By late March, most of the islands on the Solomon Islands and Bismarck Islands were
Under the control of the Chinese Marine Corps, those islands where the German army deployed heavy troops were also surrounded!
In late April, the Chinese Marine Corps landed in German Guinea. The three special mixed fleets of the first Chinese Navy fleet provided all-round firepower support for the Marine Corps. In order to capture German Guinea, the Marine Corps also invested.
5 divisions, nearly 100,000 people.
In the end, the Battle of German Guinea lasted a full month. Most of the 100,000 German troops deployed in German Guinea were wiped out or captured, and a few of them fled to the primeval forests on the island.
.Until long after the war, explorers discovered traces of German soldiers' lives in the primeval forests on the island.
After German Guinea was occupied by the Chinese Marine Corps, the German forces in the Pacific were severely damaged. Although there were German troops on some remaining islands, they could not resist the Chinese Navy's clearance. The subsequent Pacific Battle lasted for three times.
In a month, all German colonies in the Pacific were occupied by China!
