"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please transfer to the new headquarters immediately. The enemy has already hit us with two rounds of naval guns. Now we have been targeted by their naval guns, and we will be subject to more intense bombardment in the future. ." Squadron Leader Xiaolin, who was responsible for the security of the division headquarters, rushed into the headquarters and reported anxiously.
"The enemy has used naval guns to lock the location of the division headquarters. Now we have suffered heavy casualties." Squadron Leader Kobayashi still had blood stains on his face. Apparently, after a few rounds of 127mm howitzers fell on the Suzuki division headquarters, he The escort squadron has suffered considerable losses.
Of course, Lieutenant General Suzuki Takanobu was aware of the current situation. Three consecutive artillery shells exploded around his headquarters, and some places had already begun to catch fire. However, Suzuki Takanobu initially thought it was caused by stray bullets from the enemy.
"Pack up the confidential documents and transfer them in immediately!" Suzuki Takanobu couldn't hold it any longer and led a group of people to escape from the division headquarters in a hurry. Due to the rush of time, they had no time to pack up all the secrets and take away the most important things. Finally, just set a fire and burn down your headquarters!
"Old Li, what's going on? How come there was such a big fire in the Little Devils' Headquarters, and they just set fire to a side room?" In a second-story attic a few hundred meters away from the Little Devils' Headquarters, the attacker who walked in Fang Dazhi of the reconnaissance squadron of the team's brigade watched the target suddenly burst into flames and said to his partner Li Xing.
They were ordered to sneak into the vicinity of the division headquarters to observe and provide reports on the surrounding situation, providing first-hand observation information for Gao Jianwu to target.
"I saw the little Japs escaping out of the door in large numbers. No, they are trying to escape!" Li Xing, who had been observing the headquarters with a telescope, replied without raising his head. After the fire was lit, the area near the Little Japs Division headquarters suddenly changed. It was so bright that he could clearly see the clothes the little devil was wearing.
"I saw a kid wearing a general's uniform. Lao Fang, please inform the captain immediately that the kid's headquarters is being transferred. There is no value in shelling here."
Watching Suzuki Takanobu and his entourage go out and get into a car and drive away, Li Xing decisively ordered Fang Dazhi next to him while staring closely at the direction where the little devil was going. Fang Dazhi, who was carrying a walkie-talkie next to him, immediately called Song Tiecheng to report the latest Condition.
"Let's go to a taller building over there and see if we can observe where these little devils moved." After Li Xing judged the direction of Suzuki Takashi and this group of little devils for a while, he briefly observed Looking around, there is a three-story building on the right side of him, which is the tallest place nearby.
】
The two immediately ran down from the attic due to the cruel rule of the little devil. There are not many local residents left on the island. Li Xing and Fang Dazhi basically did not encounter any interference in their actions.
Soon they ran to the three-story building, which was a small courtyard surrounded by walls. Looking at the iron lock on the gate, it is obvious that this is another place where no one lives.
After all, the people who can afford to live in this kind of building are rich, and they would have run away long before the little devil came.
The two of them took a look around and saw a big tree growing against the wall. They immediately had an idea. They climbed up the tree and jumped onto the wall, then jumped down into the small courtyard.
The building in the courtyard was also gated by General Tie. Without saying a word, Li Xing used the butt of his gun to knock out the glass from the window on the first floor, climbed in through the window, and trotted all the way up to the platform on the top floor.
Sure enough, the view here is wider, and the bright lights for miles around can be seen. Suzuki Takinobu's motorcade has not stopped yet. Although Li Xing can no longer see the figures clearly, the lights of the cars exposed Suzuki Takinobu's and their positions.
Li Xing watched the car drive to a courtyard near the sea in the west and stop.
"Old Li, tell the captain that the little devil general escaped and ran to the west port. Let's go there and see the specific situation. If the captain wants to capture the little devil general alive, he will immediately send two teams to meet us. At present, the little devil general The general’s escort consists of about two squads.”
Li Xing looked at the five trucks and one car that escaped from the Little Japs headquarters, and judged that the Little Japs were probably only two squads of troops. For such a small number of little devils, two teams are enough to deal with them.
.....
"General Demore, the headquarters of the Suzuki Division has been destroyed by us. Now what we need to bombard is a street position garrisoned by the 357th Regiment of the Japs. Here, the Japs have formed several lines based on street fortifications and houses. Street defense line, shelling coordinate parameters xx, direction angle..."
The fleet received Song Tiecheng's latest report and immediately stopped the bombardment of the Little Japs headquarters. Based on the intelligence from another group of observation posts ahead, they quickly locked in a street defensive position of the Little Japs on Xiamen Island. Here, two squadrons of little devils blocked the streets and formed several lines of defense.
With the description of the observation post, Gao Jianwu quickly confirmed the specific street location from the three-dimensional map and checked the target coordinates.
Soon, Gao Jianwu provided the fleet with new bombardment parameters. Although General Demore could not see the final results, he knew that Gao Jianwu's people had probably penetrated a lot on this island. After all, there were three forts like this. The key places were captured, allowing General Demore to see the bravery of Gao Jianwu's command for the first time.
Sure enough, Major General Smith did not brag. Gao Jianwu's troops were indeed very capable.
"No problem, we will adjust the muzzle position immediately!" Demoor did not hesitate and immediately issued the order to bombard the various elements according to the instructions provided by Gao Jianwu.
Frankly speaking, before today, Demol could not have imagined that one night, his fleet would be able to carry out precise artillery fire on various invisible targets. If it were them who fought this battle, it would be possible to destroy the entire island. Wash the floor with cannonballs.
Although in terms of effect, it can also annihilate the little devils on the island, in terms of time and cost, it is completely different from Gao Jianwu's precise strike in the surgical operating room.
General Demoore was very puzzled by Gao Jianwu's ability to quickly convert the intelligence provided by the forward reconnaissance post into artillery parameters. He never thought that one day, someone would be able to use other people's observation and description to accurately locate the target. It is judged and then converted into parameters for bombarding various elements.
However, judging from the position of the fire in the distance after the shelling, it was clear that Gao Jianwu's command was not blind. They even had front-line observation posts to observe the effects of the shelling and guide Gao Jianwu to correct the target of the shelling!
"Gao, have you always fought in this way before?" General Demol couldn't help but ask after issuing the order.
"What method?" Gao Jianwu was a little confused.
"Your people are acting as eyes at the front to observe the situation, and you direct the artillery to conduct artillery bombardments like this?" General Demore said, "I have never seen any artillery commander with such skills as you. Tell me how you did it. ?”
"Oh, that's it." Gao Jianwu couldn't help scratching his head. How to explain this? I failed to control it for a while and exposed this trick to the friendly forces. They were accustomed to it in their own troops, so no one had ever asked such a question.
"General Demore, I am personally quite sensitive to maps. I usually familiarize myself with the map of the war zone before the war. I have a certain understanding of the streets and famous buildings in the war zone. As long as the map is accurate enough, I can quickly compare the two locations. The relative distance is calculated and converted into bombardment parameters."
Gao Jianwu bravely explained. Frankly speaking, there are no very accurate maps in this era, and even the combat maps have a lot of errors. Without the 100-meter accuracy, it is already considered a high-precision map. So what Gao Jianwu said is all nonsense, even though it is theoretically impeccable.
However, General Demol knew in his heart that this should be a highly confidential secret of Gao Jianwu and the others, and they would not tell him the specifics, so he smiled to show his understanding. At least this person is still his ally and comrade-in-arms, facing the same enemy. The stronger the opponent's ability, the smaller the casualties his country will suffer.
No wonder Major General Smith was able to achieve such great results with Gao Jianwu. In today's situation, General Demol himself also got a big advantage, because the largest forts were taken down by Gao Jianwu's men in one fell swoop because of the threat to his fleet.
The other two fighter jets and fleets that threatened the Japs were destroyed by Major General Smith during the day.
So now he can sit comfortably on the ship, drinking coffee and chatting, while destroying the Jaap positions one after another according to the goals commanded by Gao Jianwu. In terms of post-war merit calculations, I believe Gao Jianwu will not be greedy for them. This achievement.
General DeMoore never thought that one day he would be so easily involved in a battle that destroyed a small Japanese division. You must know that they had never had it so easy in the Pacific.
On Xiamen Island, Gao Jianwu relied on the assault brigade and fleet artillery fire to clear out the assembled Japs one after another. Song Tiecheng and the others did not encounter a decent counterattack at all. After all, in addition to large-caliber cannons, the seized forts also There are some 75mm mountain guns that can directly fire at the little Japanese near the fort.
Now the little devils are simply unable to organize a large-scale counterattack at the brigade level. The squadron-level ones rush over against the mountain artillery, and there are basically not many left. Under the Type 43 assault rifle and Browning machine gun, these soldiers are wrapped in white cloth and mourning. The charging Japs walked very happily and fell in groups in front of the fort.
They did not have as many opportunities to make roundabout advances as Song Tiecheng and others, and the little Japanese machine gun firepower could not form covering fire at all under the attack of bazooka rockets.
The only grenade that was somewhat of a threat also faced the dimension-reducing attack of the Bazooka rockets, and was powerless to resist.
...
"Is the kid on board?" Li Xing and Fang Dazhi followed Suzuki Takanobu and his party to the port, but saw a gunboat sailing away.
This special cat ran away immediately. How shameless? It was in the spirit of Bushido as promised.
Li Xing was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted, "Call the captain, call the captain, the kid ran away in the gunboat!" Li Xing turned on the walkie-talkie microphone from Fang Dazhi's chest and called directly.
"Squad hunt is cancelled, repeat, squad hunt is cancelled!"
They originally thought they were catching a big fish, but now the fish has escaped. Li Xing and Fang Dazhi are more or less frustrated. After all, this time they are very likely to catch a little Japanese division commander!
The fish caught in this way was decoupled!
On the other side, Gao Jianwu received Song Tiecheng's report with a strange expression on his face. He probably knew that the destination of these little devils' escape should be Jingmen Island not far away. He chose to launch an attack tonight to avoid letting Jingmen Island escape. The little devil is trying to disrupt the situation, and he only has two attack groups gathered in his hands.
Now that Zhao Dalei is in charge of attacking Xiamen, it is actually a test for him by Gao Jianwu.
Gao Jianwu currently has too few high-level talents who can take charge of their own affairs, because the more powerful ones have been released to take charge of their own affairs, such as Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and other ruthless people are now responsible for one aspect. .
There are not too many Japs on Jingmen Island, but they are not few either. There is at least a brigade-sized Japs Marine Corps on it.
It's just that during the day, Major General Smith conducted a series of bombings and wiped out their fleet. Even if the little devils on Jingmen Island wanted to disrupt the situation, they didn't have the ability to do so.
"General Demore, there is a big fish that may interest you. The division commander of the Suzuki Division may have escaped towards Kyomen Island in a gunboat. At this time, sending a destroyer may be able to catch up with them. Are you interested? Catch this big fish?" Gao Jianwu did not hide the latest news.
For many people, a lieutenant general division commander is a great achievement, but for Gao Jianwu, it doesn't matter who is caught. Anyway, he is here, and the explosion equipment will not miss him. This lieutenant general division commander, then It doesn't matter if it's just a new tank battalion, and it doesn't matter if it's given to Demol. Demol was really moved when he heard it.
"Gao, today I hand over the command of the fleet to you. You can fight however you want." Major General Demore said. He was self-aware. It was dark at night, and he didn't have anyone to monitor the situation on the island. The target of the attack is unknown. Fortunately, Gao Jianwu is here. This Eastern God of War, who has been very popular recently, has proven his strength in front of him. Major General Demore has a tendency to become a friend like Major General Smith.
"If they have already entered the sea, we may not be able to do anything to Suzuki Takanobu, but since they are still near Xiamen Island, there is only one way to Jingmen Island. Let's block them." Gao Jianwu's mental map Now, the coordinates of the seaport of Xiamen Island were found and reported to Major General Demore.
The three destroyers immediately set off and headed straight for the sea area designated by Gao Jianwu.
...
On the other side, as soon as Suzuki Takanobu ran away, the two regiments deployed by the Little Devils on the land side were completely fighting on their own. Zhao Dalei had powerful fire suppression in his hands, as well as a big killer like a tank and He Ming The Independent Security Brigade is a local snake who is familiar with the local area.
The battle to regain the land did not last long, even though they did not have Gao Jianwu to provide naval gun support on the Allied fleet, but after Song Tiecheng seized the fort, the biggest threat from the Japs to Zhao Dalei was eliminated.
As for the remaining mountain artillery or 92 infantry artillery pieces of the little devil, they really did not pose much of a threat to Zhao Dalei's step-by-step advance through infantry-artillery coordination and infantry-tank coordination. When encountering the little devil, he would just push over. Suzuki's division simply couldn't resist the tactics of reason.
Therefore, when Gao Jianwu and others intercepted the escaping Suzuki Takinobu on the sea from Xiamen to Jingmen Island, Zhao Dalei had almost completed the annihilation of the two regiments of the Suzuki Division on the land side, and successfully killed the two main forces. The battalion was sent to Xiamen Island and began to attack the remaining regiment of the little Japanese on the island.
Even though there was a night battle plus street fighting, Zhao Dalei completed the battle very well. Using street fighting tactics based on commando squads, he used powerful firepower to teach the little devils how to fight in the streets. Song Tiecheng and the others were in the temporary artillery position from the fort. After replacing them, they used their elusiveness and powerful individual firepower to crush to death in the streets and houses the little Japs who tried to kill a large number of task forces in street fighting.
In terms of firepower, tactics, and individual soldier capabilities, Song Tiecheng's assault brigade was much better than the Japs.
After a night of fierce fighting, Xiamen was recovered! As for those pseudo-legions, after the leader and other culprits were eliminated, most of the remaining soldiers were reorganized by the He Ming Security Independent Brigade. When the 157th Guopu Division heard that Xiamen was restored and rushed to march, Zhao Dalei and He Ming had already occupied the battlefield. Clean up.
Gao Jianwu knew that Xiamen could not leave He Ming and his friends to develop. After all, they still had the strength here. Although they were not powerful, they had many people. Now Gao Jianwu had no reason to fall out with them, and he had to rely on the Allies to hold them back. Bay Island was captured, so Gao Jianwu had no choice but to pick peaches with the 157th Division.
However, he also had his own method. Together with Major Generals Demore and Major General Smith, he firmly took the credit for the recovery of Xiamen in his hands. Major General Demore did not hesitate to sign his own report on the joint Southeast Task Force's recovery of Xiamen. The daimyo, in his hands, actually caught a big fish, Suzuki Takinobu, to prove that his fleet was indeed one of the main forces in this battle!
This credit alone is enough for Major General Demol to add an extremely important weight when he is promoted in the future!
Gao Jianwu has another new international friend born! In this wave, a useless little Japanese division commander was exchanged for the support of a new allied fleet rear admiral. It was not a loss at all!
