Lou Asi is an old fisherman who has caught more than 20 fish in the South China Sea.
However, he used to be a helper. It was not until Chu Yunfei and the others regained Nanhai Island and according to Gao Jianwu's economic construction plan that they had the opportunity to lease the base area and confiscate the Xiaoguizi Fishery Company with the help of a ten-year installment loan from the bank in the new base area. A fishing boat more than 30 meters long also hired three helpers.
Because Lou Asi has rich fishing experience and knows that there are many fish in those waters, and Kengan fishes on the sea day and night, the money from the fish sold in less than two months has already covered this year’s loan. Paid off.
The money they earn next will be completely theirs, and things are about to get better. Therefore, Lou Asi agreed to the call from the base area without thinking much. After all, this is an organization that truly cares about its own people.
Unexpectedly, when we came to Xiamen, there was actually no big deal, just transporting some people. Then it’s time to fish, and the fishing grounds here are pretty good. In addition, there are people who guarantee the purchase, so he can continue to work here with peace of mind.
It wasn't until tonight that I received a notice that I had to send someone to another place. Although it was a bit unsafe to go out to sea at night, the leader said that this time everyone was moving together and there was a boat in front to lead the way, so everyone didn't have much doubts.
Seeing the heavily armed soldiers sitting on his boat, Lou Asi didn't have much to worry about. Instead, he steered the ship while chatting with a soldier beside him.
"Brother, where are you from?" Lou Asi asked.
"I am Huiyang, boss, how many years have you been fishing?" This soldier from Ding Wei's South China base seems to have joined the guerrillas. Ding Wei has guns, artillery and territory here in the South China base, and he is expanding rapidly. Not slow either.
This time Ding Wei sent out half of them were old soldiers, and the other half were newly joined local guerrillas or security team soldiers.
"Ah, we are still half fellow villagers," Lou Asi said with a smile, "I have been fishing for more than 20 years. I never thought I would have the opportunity to fight the Japanese with you this time."
“Did the eldest brother also fish in the past?”
...
On the quiet sea, Lou Asi and the soldiers around him chatted one after another. The sail slowly moved the small fishing boat towards the Wanwan Island. The wind was not strong and the speed was slow. Although it was only a few dozen kilometers away, But it was not until dawn that we could vaguely see the land.
"We're almost at our destination, Boss. Let's go back and get ashore. You guys should follow the leading boat back. There's going to be a war here. Don't accidentally hurt you." The soldier from the South China base looked at the land in front of him and took a deep breath. He took a breath and then said to Lou Asi.
"We won't get in the way. Just be careful. God bless you all in safety." Of course Lou Asi knew what these soldiers were going to do, but that was all he could do.
"Our team is invincible. Don't worry, before long, this place will become a place where the elders can fish freely." The soldier grinned, obviously confident of victory.
Next is their business. The coastline in front is a three to four kilometers long beach, and behind the beach is a dense forest. This is the destination of their assault group.
After the soldier watched the boat in front approach the beach, a group of soldiers jumped off the boat and accelerated forward under half-height water. Although there was no enemy defense on the beach during aerial reconnaissance, there was a road 3 kilometers away behind the beach woods. , there are still motorcycles patrolled by little devils from time to time.
Under the morning light, facing the unknown territory, the forward commandos charged forward. Their goal was to occupy the commanding heights on the road ahead, block the main access to the beach, and cover the beach to ensure the safe landing of the entire assault group.
"Brother, what's your name? I'll pick you up next time you go home!" Seeing that the soldier was about to jump off, Lou Asi finally asked.
"Okay, boss, my name is Huang Runfa, just call me Ah Huang!" Huang Runfa turned his head and smiled. "When I stop fighting, I'll come to you and learn how to fish!"
"Okay, I'm waiting for you, remember to come back." Lou Asi smiled and watched Huang Runfa jump off the boat, and then secretly turned his head to the side, as if he was blinded by the wind and sand, his eyes were a little misty.
...
At a place called Jianlong Palace 4 kilometers away from the east side of Butai Port, a mountain artillery brigade of Little Devils spread out and stationed here to provide fire support for the coastal defense forces of Butai Port.
Before the large forces landed, Song Tiecheng's assault brigade had long been divided into four teams to surround them, lurking in the trees less than one kilometer away from the Little Japanese artillery position.
They landed nearly 2 hours in advance and took advantage of the darkness to get here and lurk. They also encountered some sporadic Japs patrols along the way, but most of them were killed.
"Captain, I've received the news. The first attack group and the third attack group have already docked and started landing. Let's take action!" The staff officer in charge of intelligence exchange came to Song Tiecheng's side and whispered.
"Why panic? Are the reconnaissance posts at the shore defense position in place?" Song Tiecheng said in a low voice.
"The four groups of reconnaissance posts have penetrated into the 500-meter range around the Little Japanese shore defense position."
According to the pre-war plan, the most important task of the assault brigade was to seize the exposed mountain artillery brigade position and clear obstacles for the attacking first and second attack groups. The second step was to lurk at the front of the Jaap position to observe the artillery target. Provides revised guidance for naval gunfire targets.
Because they were deep in the tiger's den, the Little Japanese had three brigades stationed at Budai Port. The timing of firing was quite delicate, neither too early nor too late.
It is easy to be besieged by the Japs too early. Although the assault brigade is all elite, and these 1,000 people are brave and good at fighting, but fighting deep inside the enemy without any support, even if they can win, the losses will be heavy.
So Song Tiecheng had to wait for the two assault groups to arrive.
But it's not too late. If the two attack groups arrive and these little Japanese artillerymen are not dealt with, it will be another disaster for the two attack groups.
Song Tiecheng estimated that the landing sites of the two assault groups were about four or five kilometers away from here, and it would take about half an hour to reach them by forced march.
So now, it's time to call in artillery fire!
...
"The first attack group called the headquarters. The first attack group arrived at position 1. The forwards and the Japs patrol began to exchange fire!"
"The second attack group called the command center and has captured target No. 2! Sporadic firefights occurred at the forward."
"The third attack group called the headquarters and has captured target No. 3! The forwards annihilated a patrol team of little devils!"
"The commando brigade is already lurking near the Little Japanese artillery position, and the reconnaissance posts at the shore defense position are already in place!"
Gao Jianwu, who was in the command room of the USS Phoenix, received good news one after another. The first wave of three attack groups had landed safely.
Although they have been discovered by the Japs now, there are only two brigades stationed in the two cities of Jiayi and Tainan where the Japs landed near the 40-kilometer coastline.
Half of them defended the various ports, and half remained in the city.
Gao Jianwu's main goal is for Huang Runfa and his third attack group to land at Butai Port, 5 kilometers away to the north!
On the beach 4 kilometers north of Butai Port is the first attack group that landed. They will attack Butei Port from the north and south with the third attack group.
To the south, the second attack group at Landing Point No. 2 also began to form a formation, setting up heavy blocking defense lines on the traffic artery from Tainan to Budai Port. Their goal was to prevent the reinforcements of the Tainan Japs.
At this moment, from a high altitude, tens of thousands of people are spread out like running water for more than 30 kilometers north and south of the coast of Butai Port, and two of them are gradually moving closer to Butai Port.
...
...
Almost the entire Demoor fleet, with the Phoenix as the flagship of Gao Jianwu, stayed on the sea 12 kilometers outside Budai Port.
According to information obtained from aerial reconnaissance, the Little Devils' coastal defense artillery is mainly composed of 150mm howitzers and 105mm howitzers. These two types of cannon are very familiar to Gao Jianwu, the Type 96 150mm howitzer and the Type 91 105mm howitzer. Their common feature is that their range does not exceed 12 kilometers...
Therefore, in this position, the Demoor fleet can comfortably output firepower. There is almost no need to worry about the little devil's counterattack.
In the air, Gao Jianwu had vaguely heard the sound of fighter jets, but it came from the west. Then the air began to call Gao Jianwu's command. This was the arrival of the Southeast Task Force Air Force attack group as scheduled.
To the south, Major General Smith's flying team also arrived over the Hutt fleet and began to increase air cover.
"General Demol, let's get started." Gao Jianwu smiled and said to General Demol. The coastal defense position at Xiaoguizi Port had been clearly detected by aerial reconnaissance, but after the Demol fleet entered the target position, Gao Jianwu quickly relied on The mental map conveyed the bombardment to the fleet.
Now the time has come.
General Demoore stood next to Gao Jianwu, looking at the distant coastline and the groups of retreating fishing boats in the distance. It felt a little unreal. Just relying on these dilapidated and ancient sail fishing boats, Gao Jianwu and the others actually made 3 Thousands of people were sent to the other side.
It's a bit incredible that the little devil didn't react to such a big military operation, but everything in front of him has become a reality.
"Command the fleet, fire!" General Demol drove everything out of his mind, and the great god ordered.
Four battleships lined up and opened fire almost simultaneously.
The Phoenix's five triple-mounted 152mm naval guns and eight single-barreled 127mm naval guns spurted out hot flames, and the huge reverse thrust even tilted the battleship slightly to the side.
More than twenty heavy artillery shells screamed and flew towards the target.
On the other three destroyers, the five 127mm howitzers each fired also followed the Phoenix's shells away.
"Target No. 4 reconnaissance post called the command center. The north side of target No. 4 was hit. The south side shifted 30 meters to the east. Correct the 30-meter target!"
Soon, Gao Jianwu, who received the report of the artillery impact point, issued revised parameters for bombarding Zhuyuan to the fleet, and the naval guns began the second round of bombardment. Then, after destroying the Little Japanese coastal defense fort, under the guidance of the artillery reconnaissance post, The naval guns began to clear the enemy's defensive position!
At the same time, Song Tiecheng gave an order, and the main force of the assault brigade began to take action, approaching the artillery position of Xiaoguizi from four directions almost simultaneously.
The Japanese artillery battalion commander Nakamura Shaozuo, who had just woken up and had not had time to get up, heard the earth-shattering sound of artillery. He was so shocked that he stayed on the bed for a long time, then jumped up as if he had just woken up from a dream and began to hurriedly find clothes to wear. superior.
too suddenly! Nakamura Shaozuo was completely unprepared!
You must know that after the Navy Department and the Army Department at the base camp were at each other's throats, almost all the little devils on Bayan Island believed that the Southeast Task Force's attack on Bayan Island was just a bluff. Apart from taking over the surrounding islands, they would not have any more Any action.
After all, to capture those islands, you only need to clean them with naval guns. It would not be difficult for the Allies, with their naval and air superiority, to capture these islands.
On these islands, the little devils did not build defense facilities according to Pacific island standards, and they did not have so much manpower and material resources to hollow out these islands and turn them into war fortresses one by one.
Therefore, before the Allied forces attacked, except for Jingmen Island on the mainland side, which was too late, the islands on the Penghu side had actually retreated a lot of the main forces.
After Gao Jianwu and the others occupied these islands, the Little Japs also sent out reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance, and found that there were no major changes. Gao Jianwu and the others did not leave too many troops on the islands.
Xiamen did not see a large-scale assembly of the Allied transport fleet. After all, 60,000 people had to be transported across the strait, which also required a lot of transportation capacity.
But apart from the fact that a large number of fishing boats from the mainland came to Xiamen and started fishing in the Penghu waters, the little devil did not notice any other abnormal behavior.
It's as if the other party just wants to turn this place into his own fishing ground.
Don't let the little devils understand this operation, even the senior executives on the other side are confused.
In order not to provoke Gao Jianwu and others to retaliate, Lieutenant General Hase strictly ordered his subordinates not to send fighter planes or gunboats to chase these fishing boats.
You must know that fishing boats from the mainland were never allowed to approach these waters before. The little devil had his own fishing fleet that fished regularly. These maritime resources have always been reserved for the Wanwan Island.
Although this reason was too ridiculous and no one was embarrassed to bring it up, the captains from the governor, Lieutenant General Hase, to the little devils below all thought that the operations of the Southeast Task Force would end here.
Unless they show signs of new action.
Before Gao Jianwu's action, the little devils on the other side were really not mentally prepared at all.
But before Nakamura Shaozuo could react, more than a dozen bazooka rocket shells roared toward the position.
The machine gun fire points on the artillery position were wiped out almost instantly!
Immediately afterwards, under the cover of machine guns, the commando forwards advanced alternately in groups of three. The little Japanese who had just been awakened by the naval gunfire on the artillery position never imagined that such a powerful enemy assault force was ambushing around them. Team.
Everyone was stunned. After all, their main business is artillery, not infantry, and now the enemy has launched an attack close to their face, and the firepower is outrageous, giving them no chance to take advantage of artillery.
In panic, they fired back randomly in the direction of the commando's charge.
Enemies seem to be coming from all directions, and these little devils don't know which direction to counterattack. They just go wherever they want.
In an artillery position with more than 600 people, bullets were flying everywhere, and the little Japanese were panicking and fighting back.
But on the commando side, each one had a clear goal. The attacking commandos, the snipers responsible for calling out the Japs' key targets, had already found their positions and began to look for the officers in the Japs' artillery to snipe them.
The bazooka bazooka operators continued to bombard the Japs who tried to gather in groups to resist, as well as the newly emerged machine gun fire points, determined not to allow the Japs to form a large-scale resistance opportunity.
A distance of several hundred meters is only a matter of tens of seconds for the commando team. The artillery position of Xiaojiizi is far away from the shore. It turns out that there was no consideration at all to build any fixed defenses, only simple bunkers such as some sandbags. Under the suppression of bazooka rocket launchers and Browning machine guns, hundreds of little Japs who had lost their command could not form an effective counterattack at all.
Even if Nakamura Shaozuo screamed until his throat was broken, there were not many little Japs who listened to his orders. Instead, after this little Jaap showed his body, he quickly became the latest target of the snipers.
Before the artillery position fell, Nakamura Shaozuo was hit in the head by a bullet and went to see his master.
...
"Gao, I didn't expect your people to be able to penetrate into the vicinity of the Japs' position. It's so powerful. If we continue the bombardment in this way, I don't think there will be any need for infantry." General Demoore watched Gao Jianwu continue to direct the naval guns. Change the bombardment position.
Almost every round of firepower clears the ground, Gao Jianwu will direct the replacement of new bombardment targets.
This means that almost all of the 38 heavy howitzers output in the previous wave found their targets and destroyed them.
This efficiency made General Demore almost kneel down on the spot.
"General Demoor praises you. The main reason is that your naval guns are so powerful." Gao Jianwu said modestly.
General Demoore shook his head. Of course, their naval guns are also very powerful, but they have to hit the target to be useful. In the battle for the Pacific Islands, they simply aimed at the top of the mountain and bombed them densely. Then again, There is no one like Gao Jianwu who can directly find the target and hit him with high efficiency.
There are people at key sites who report the results of the battle at any time and correct the shelling errors at any time.
In this way, under the precise guidance of Gao Jianwu, the covering bombardment of the Little Japanese defensive position in Butai Port was completed in more than ten minutes!
This alone made General Demore feel unbelievable. According to the positions of the three brigades arranged by the little devils, if they were allowed to come, I'm afraid it would take them three hours to bomb them before they could get close to see the effect.
But now, I heard the report from Gao Jianwu's on-site observation post.
Of course, the important firepower points such as the permanent defensive forts set up by the Japs have disappeared. Even the deep positions defended by the three Japs brigades, not much is left now.
You must know that within a minute, General Demore's fleet with full firepower can casually fire out 400 rounds of heavy artillery shells, one covering an area of 100 square meters. Covered by thousands of artillery shells in the past ten minutes, this It was less than a kilometer long and hundreds of meters deep. It had been bombed back and forth several times!
Even if there are still little Japs on the battlefield who have not been killed by direct hits, all of them are bleeding from their ears and noses, and they are so shocked by the shock wave of the shell explosion that they are worse than dead.
The main position of Butai Port defended by three brigades of little devils was just washed away by naval guns, killing almost 80% of the effective forces, completely losing the ability to defend.
After Song Tiecheng's assault brigade broke through the Xiaojiazi artillery position and heard the battle report from the observation post, he immediately called Gao Jianwu to stop the bombardment and sent several teams to test the attack. Sure enough, on the Xiaojiazi position, they had long lost their ability to resist.
In the trenches and even inside the bunker, the few remaining little Japs were dying. When the commandos rushed up to send them off for the last journey, these little Japs actually felt a sense of relief.
It was all over. The nightmare-like bombardment made these little devils suffer between life and death for nearly half an hour!
Song Tiecheng, who left more than a hundred people to guard the artillery position, sent out all the main forces to clear the area, and quickly cleared away the remaining Japs in the Little Japs defensive position in Budai Port.
In this way, the assault brigade couldn't wait for the arrival of the main force, and rushed directly to the position to kill the last little Japs and occupy the entire Budai Port!
Only a few Japanese gunboats that escaped in the port were left, and they ran to the sea outside the port and fired anti-aircraft fire at the position occupied by Song Tiecheng and others. Unfortunately, their machine guns were useless against the commandos who had the position to rely on.
As the Demoor fleet rushed over, the destroyers rushing ahead saw the small gunboats like Xiaojiizi. The Allied officers and soldiers on the battleship finally found a sense of fighting. They had just fired guns for more than ten minutes, and they were basically No enemy in sight.
It was as if they were practicing against the air, leaving them with no sense of experience at all.
Now I see the living Little Japanese battleship, even though its tonnage is a few million points smaller than theirs, but after all, it is a visible enemy.
It was obviously a waste to use naval guns to attack. I saw the destroyer rushing straight towards the gunboat, and the twin 40mm Bofors cannons and single-barreled 20mm Oerlikon cannons began to turn and aim at the little Japanese gunboat.
Now the feeling of fighting is back at once!
The transport ship following the Demoor fleet rushed to the Butai Port pier at full speed under the escort of the destroyer. For them, now was the best time to dock.
Even if the little Japanese air force is afraid of being beaten now and may not dare to come out, who can guarantee that they will not be stupid and rush over.
If you encounter a few fools playing kamikaze, a good victory will be shortened.
Although this possibility is relatively small, neither Gao Jianwu nor De Moor wants to have long nights and dreams.
On each transport ship, there are heavy weapons that Gao Jianwu treasures, most of which are tanks and artillery, as well as a large amount of ammunition, food and other supplies.
It would be a tragedy if it was destroyed by the Japs Air Force in the port.
Although in the prior reconnaissance, Gao Jianwu and others had confirmed that this port was not defended by the Japanese fleet.
Due to the lack of anti-aircraft fire position cover, in order to prevent being bombed by the Allied air force, the Little Japanese fleet was mainly deployed near Kaohsiung Port, while only a few small gunboats were left elsewhere.
For Gao Jianwu, the Jaap's deployment in this way really failed to take his threat seriously. The Jaap almost opened the entire western coastline to him to come in and out at will, depending on whether he dared to come.
Now the answer has finally come out. Not only did Gao Jianwu dare to do it, but he also won it directly!
But if the little devil knew that Gao Jianwu was really going to land for battle, he would send fighter jets to disrupt the situation at all costs.
But this time, Gao Jianwu made a fuss and used a large number of fishing boats to secretly infiltrate Chen Cang. Not only was he himself confused, but even the little devils who received the report probably didn't know what was going on.
This wave of strategic deception was clearly played by Gao Jianwu.
As the transport ship approached the dock, tanks drove out of the transport ship and onto land.
Then cannons were towed ashore by trucks, and large quantities of weapons and ammunition also began to be moved ashore little by little with the efforts of the assault brigade who came as porters, outflanking a lonely first attack group and the third attack group, which finally arrived belatedly.
