Busan Port.
"Boy Gao, you're finally here." Li Yunlong strode forward and gave the tired Gao Jianwu a bear hug.
After the coordination was completed, Gao Jianwu took the Fifth Squadron and a huge transport fleet and set off from the Magic City directly to Busan.
"Is this the fleet you came with? Good guy, there are so many big steel ships." Li Yunlong looked at the rows of huge steel behemoths nearby with gleaming eyes. This was the first time in his life that he looked so close. To so many big ships.
"Old Li, your eyes are a bit blind. Can't you see that labor and management have been hanging around here for a long time?" Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong, either looking at Gao Jianwu, or staring at the cruisers and transport ships, as if he didn't exist standing aside. Similar.
"Kong Er, I really didn't know you existed if you didn't speak." Li Yunlong laughed. He just deliberately left Kong Jie alone.
The reason is simple, because he has never been on such a big ship, but Kong Jie followed Gao Jianwu and got on it first. This is a bit unpleasant for Li Yunlong, who always strives to be the first in everything.
"Let's go back and have a drink. Such a happy thing today must be over after we get drunk." Li Yunlong held Gao Jianwu's arm and put his hand on Kong Jie's shoulder.
Although the three of them are already commanders-in-chief of thousands of troops, Li Yunlong has no intention of paying attention to appearance at all.
It is exactly the same as it was in northwest Shanxi.
Gao Jianwu and Kong Jie certainly had no intention of putting on airs.
When it comes to them, there is no need to put on airs.
After a drink, all three of them were a little drunk.
"Boy Gao, if you ask me, we can go directly to the Japs' lair. There is no need to fight with the Japs at every corner. Our strength now is more than enough to go directly to the Japs' lair."
Li Yunlong said with a big tongue.
"The reason is very simple, because I want to completely break up the little devil's energy in this battle." Gao Jianwu did not hide his true purpose from these two people.
"I won't give the little devil any chance to surrender. This is a poisonous snake, and they must be defeated completely."
"Just hit it, it's just a matter of time. I think it won't cost us much even if we push one island after another. With the equipment we have now, beating the little devil is like beating a son." Kong Jie burped from wine. said.
"And I think Jianwu may have some other ideas. Now the European side has calmed down. This is the last battlefield, and we must do something to prove our status, am I right?"
Gao Jianwu was a little surprised by what Kong Jie said.
"Lao Kong's vision is really good. Are you a roundworm in my belly?" Gao Jianwu asked with a smile.
"What Lao Kong said is absolutely correct. Our position in this world war is indeed a bit embarrassing. If nothing else, it's just that our country fell so quickly and the early war was so bad, we don't have much status in the world. Speakable."
"Fortunately, we have regained all the lost territory by ourselves. We have finally gained back some face. At least the Allies no longer dare to underestimate us.
But that's it. Frankly speaking, compared with the great powers, we are still a weakling who cannot stand on the stage. "
Facing Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, Gao Jianwu could express his feelings freely without any scruples.
"I think so." Li Yunlong put away his usual jovial attitude at this time and said with a serious expression. "During this period, I paid attention to reading some outside newspapers and periodicals. Although we, Lao Li, are a rough guy and can't understand these outside newspapers and periodicals, but after asking someone to read them, I finally got to know the situation outside."
"We really can't compare with the great powers. If nothing else, we don't have any of these steel beasts brought by Gao Xiaozi today."
Don't look at Li Yunlong who always acts like I am the best in the world. But in this time and space, it was seriously affected by Gao Jianwu. Lao Li is now also a person who loves to learn. Wherever you go, you must first understand the current events.
So I have a relatively deep understanding of outside things.
"It can't be said that there are none at all. Now there are two ships in this fleet, which can be regarded as our own. This is the working fee we earned from fighting Ryukyu and Bangzi Peninsula." Gao Jianwu said with a smile.
"That's really good. The American foreign devils are all good stuff." Kong Jie said with some envy.
For not catching up with Ryukyu and Bangko Peninsula such a battle. Kong Jie was also a little worried.
"Wait until we beat the little Japanese to the ground. We will take away all the remaining ships of the little Japanese without missing a single one."
Kong Jie was a little distracted.
The battle hasn't even started yet, and I'm just trying to get the loot.
"Those ships of the Little Devil are just like that. They will be rubbish in a few years. What we are focusing on this time is not these things. It is the equipment of the Little Devil factory." Gao Jianwu shook his head.
"Our industrial foundation is really poor. Even though Jinyang Heavy Industry is going all out to manufacture machine tools and other industrial production equipment, it is still a drop in the bucket. For such a large land, we rely on Jinyang Heavy Industry and now Hanyang Heavy Industry and Shengjing. The pillars of heavy industry are far from enough.”
"Little Devil still has some things of his own in terms of production. Factory equipment is the hen that lays golden eggs. Relatively speaking, it is much more valuable than Little Devil's ships." Gao Jianwu said.
"So for this battle, we still need to have a secret transportation team. In this regard, Lao Kong, you have to find a way to organize this team. After we control the Tsushima Strait, all the seizures will be secretly passed through here. Transport back.”
These things are not understandable to outsiders. Relatively speaking, Lao Ding and Lao Kong are the most suitable for this matter. But now that Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei are leading a large force in the south, preparing to fight from the south to the north, these matters can only be left to Lao Kong.
"No problem, we won't hesitate to bear some infamy. The little devil has done so many evils to us. How can we not justify not charging a little interest?" Kong Jie happily accepted the matter assigned by Gao Jianwu.
"As for the transport ships, I have already negotiated with the headquarters. The merchant ships that the headquarters can dispatch will mobilize tens of thousands of tons of transportation capacity to assist us.
At present, the most important thing for us is to capture the two strategic fulcrums of Tsushima and Jeju Island. The transshipment will be divided into two routes at the same time, one through the peninsula to the northeast, all the way through the sea directly to the Magic City, and transported to Jiangnan and the Central Plains. Quickly build our own factory along the way. "
Gao Jianwu arranged everything clearly.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie completely understood why they had to push the little devil all the way. This matter cannot be implemented if we go straight to Huanglong.
Now time is completely on the side of China, and Gao Jianwu is in no rush to end this war.
...
"Dalei, this is the first battle since the establishment of your airborne brigade. Are you confident?" Gao Jianwu was still a little worried about Zhao Dalei's airborne brigade, which was about to set off to land on Tsushima Island.
"Don't worry, Detachment Gao, we have absolute confidence to win the predetermined target!" Zhao Dalei grinned. At first, he didn't even command the assault group and insisted on setting up this airborne brigade. Now after long-term training, Gao Jianwu It finally came in handy when capturing Tsushima Island.
"As long as you have confidence, remember, in the first battle, your most important thing is not to seize the enemy's target stronghold. It is to successfully airborne to preserve yourself. These enemy targets are not yours alone. We have plenty of methods. Take them down.
If you can succeed, that's the icing on the cake. If you can't, don't force it. Remember? Big Thunder, this is an order. The Airborne Group is one of our seed troops, and we cannot lose them easily. "
"Yes! Resolutely carry out the order." Zhao Dalei answered him loudly.
...
Tsushima Island is a strategic location from the peninsula to the main island of Xiaobenzi. The coast of the entire island is winding and rocky. There are not many ports that can allow large-scale landings. There are two ports in the north and south of the island that connect to the island. This book is from Mainland China and Kyushu.
Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong sit aboard the New Orleans-class cruiser USS Minneapolis, flagship of the Fifth Squadron.
"Captain, look at those three naval guns. They are the 3-gun Mark 15 203mm naval guns of the United States. Each shell weighs more than 100 kilograms. When it falls on the ground, it can spread out and create a huge fragmentation kill zone with a radius of tens to hundreds of meters. , there will be no survivors within a hundred meters range, if you are a few meters near the impact point, you will be shocked to death even if you are hiding in the bunker!"
Gao Jianwu pointed to the huge naval gun and introduced it to Li Yunlong.
"My dear, when will we be able to build something so powerful?" Li Yunlong praised.
"We? We no longer need to shoot such a thing. Although this kind of thing is powerful, it is also very heavy. It occupies a large area on the ship and its launch speed is unsatisfactory.
. We won't need anything like this in the future.
In terms of naval guns, we will only choose 130 mm main guns in the future, which have a fast rate of fire and the firepower output per unit time is not much worse than the 203 mm naval guns. "
"But the larger the caliber, the greater the lethality. Why don't we develop 203 mm naval guns? This thing looks so powerful. Is it because we can't build it now or is there some other reason?" Li Yunlong retorted. When he saw it, I fell in love with this big guy.
Li Yunlong is certainly aware of the development plan of the 051 destroyer. He is one of the main persons in charge of providing protection and resources for marine equipment.
"Let me tell you, if this giant gun is placed on our 051 destroyer, it is not very powerful."
Li Yunlong knows nothing about ships, and he adheres to the simple view that more power is good.
"Look at this thing and put it on the destroyer next to it. Yes, it's the Fletcher destroyer on the left. Look at the relative size. Can it be put on it?" Gao Jianwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gave Li Yunlong a live science popularization.
Li Yunlong compared it and saw that it was indeed a small horse and a big cart, and it couldn't reach it.
He couldn't help but said with some regret, "Then, do you think it would be okay to get some cruisers? Or just install them on the aircraft carrier you mentioned. Doesn't that aircraft carrier have enough space?"
Is it okay to install giant cannons on aircraft carriers? Gao Jianwu decided not to play with such fools without common sense.
"Our goal today is to cover the air landing of Zhao Dalei and his airborne brigade, and seize the airport on Tsushima Island." Gao Jianwu returned to the topic, "The goal of our fleet's artillery fire is to first bombard the defenders of Xiaoguizi Airport, and then block the north and south sides of the airport. At the same time, the assault brigade forced a landing on the coast near the airport to support the airborne brigade and help the airborne brigade capture the airport."
"Based on our air force reconnaissance, the maximum number of Japs stationed near the airport is only two squadrons. In terms of strength, they cannot stop the attack of our two special forces groups. What's more, we also have naval gun fire support."
In Gao Jianwu's mind, Tsushima's garrison and terrain information were very clear. The little Japanese with less than one brigade would definitely not be able to stop his landing operation.
But in order to test the results of the airborne brigade, Gao Jianwu decided to test it here.
"The use of airborne troops is indeed of great significance." Li Yunlong's attention was diverted as expected. "If they prove that they are capable of actual combat this time, we will have one more method to seize long-range strategic points in the future. Zhao Dalei, the more than 1,000 people at this critical moment, said Maybe it can be of great use."
Li Yunlong is an old warrior. The application of different types of troops does not require much education to be very clear.
It's an instinct for fighting.
"Yes, the significance of the airborne troops is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared. In the future, we can not only seize strategic points. We can also send them as beheading troops to directly destroy the enemy's command post and disrupt the enemy's command system."
"It's a pity that we don't have the corresponding transport aircraft yet. We will borrow the Allied transport aircraft for Zhao Dalei's airdrop this time. In terms of transport aircraft, we will not be able to manufacture them ourselves in the next few years." Gao Jianwu sighed.
"It depends on whether we can buy a few emergency planes first, but we don't just rely on this method to fight the war. It's not a big deal if we can't buy transport planes. Don't you have a first five-year plan? Let's put the transport aircraft into the second five-year plan. Go, sooner or later it will be built." Li Yunlong was open-minded.
After all, the equipment of the army now far exceeds his imagination back then. Li Yunlong couldn't even think of special units such as 155mm howitzers and tank units when he was in northwestern Shanxi!
Now it has appeared in the army on an organic basis, which is an earth-shaking change.
While the two were chatting and laughing, Gao Jianwu looked at his watch and waved his hand to order the naval guns to start attacking. In the distance, the airborne transport planes began to appear in their field of vision like small black dots.
Dozens of artillery shells of different calibers flew towards the garrison at the airport, and soon the area near the Jaap Airport was shrouded in smoke. The first observers lurking on the hills near the airport reported the effects of the shelling. The main Jaap targets near the airport were destroyed. Directly razed to the ground!
At this moment, there are only a few little devils left in the huge airport.
The Mustang fighter planes that arrived first began to lower their altitude to less than 500 meters, and used machine guns to clear the Japs still active on the airport, clearing the ground targets as much as possible for the airborne troops.
After they had cleared it, transport planes from behind came one after another, and pieces of umbrella flowers bloomed above the airport. At this moment, there was a gentle breeze in the sky, and Zhao Dalei and others controlled the parachutes and floated towards the clear airport below.
At the airport, the few kidnappers who had slipped through the net were in shock. They looked at the white clouds floating in the sky. They were filled with anger. They lay on the ground with their heads raised and began to aim at the sky with the 38 caps in their hands. !
There was a burst of gunfire, and the first one to be killed was the kid on the airport. The snipers from the reconnaissance team who lurked in first waited for two rounds of strikes from naval guns and fighter planes, and then started the third attack on the kid. Round fixed point clearing!
Even so, the little devils who slipped through the net still seized the opportunity, causing Zhao Dalei to lose several outstanding paratroopers!
However, due to the clear geographical location of the landing site and the good weather, the airborne troops chose to skydive at a low altitude and stayed in the air for a short time, so there was not much time left for the little devils to slip through the net. Soon Zhao Dalei and the others landed, carrying Type 43 Assault rifle, quickly rushed towards the little devil on the airport, and it was over in a burst.
The entire parachute jump was similar to an actual combat exercise. Gao Jianwu observed the entire airdrop from a distant ship and shook his head.
Obviously not very satisfied.
But after all, this was the first truly large-scale airborne operation. Most of the airborne troops landed at the designated airport. Gao Jianwu was still a little relieved. At least in terms of basic skills, Zhao Dalei and the others had mastered them pretty well.
But in actual combat, if there is no support for airborne landing, then the timing of airborne landing must not be exposed to places where there are little Japs, otherwise the casualties will be uncontrollable.
Even if the little devils use the 38-meter cover, the airborne landing time is enough to give them several rounds of shooting opportunities. If they wait for the airborne team in advance, it will be the end of the entire army being annihilated.
To land by air, you still have to completely catch the enemy by surprise.
