Thrush King.
Kenji Hatanaka's actions began to alarm some people.
Tanaka Shinichi first noticed something was wrong. As one of the two major forces defending the capital, he has been in hotline contact with Lieutenant General Morihisa of the Guards Division. Tanaka Shinichi did not receive a response from Morihisa within the agreed time.
At this critical moment, Tanaka Shinichi immediately felt that something was abnormal. There is no reason why Lieutenant General Morihisa would lose contact without notifying him, unless something happened to him!
Tanaka Shinichi mobilized his elite First Regiment without hesitation and drove straight to the headquarters of the First Guards Division!
The other three regiments also issued orders at the same time to go to the Guards Division station to encircle them. If it cannot be resolved peacefully, he must work hard to deal with the possible rebellion of the Guards Division.
This is the core of the empire. Tanaka Shinichi did not allow any force to interfere, unless it was an order from the cabinet and the emperor.
When Tanaka Shinichi led the army to the Guards Division, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division felt a little strange, but most of the officers and soldiers who served as battalion captains and squadron leaders in the Guards Division were very familiar with Tanaka Shinichi.
Therefore, regarding the arrival of Shinichi Tanaka, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division did not follow the instructions of Inoue Masataka and others of Hatanaka Kenji's faction, but turned around and arrested these people.
Some of them had already had their suspicions. Now that Tanaka Jinichi is here, they know that this matter is definitely not simple. Therefore, all of them expressed objections to these people's orders, but instead turned around and arrested them all directly.
After all, Morihisa's Guards Division and Tanaka Shinichi's Eastern Army Headquarters have always been in the same system, and they even often conduct exercises together.
Sure enough, when Tanaka Shinichi took control of the Guards Division, he heard that Hatanaka Kenji was in charge of everything here and immediately understood the reason for the matter. This bastard must be bold enough to defeat him.
After Tanaka Shinichi carefully searched the Guards Division headquarters, he found Morihisa's body. Seeing that the worst had happened, Tanaka Shinichi was furious and immediately issued a comprehensive wanted order for Hatanaka Kenji!
At the same time, he reported the situation to Suzuki Shosuke.
Tanaka Shinichi was worried that this was not just Hatanaka Kenji making trouble, but the War Ministry trying to initiate an incident to regain control of the cabinet!
Suzuki and Minei were shocked when they heard Tanaka Shinichi's report.
This was not the first time they had encountered this kind of thing, so they paid great attention to Tanaka Shinichi's report. Not only did the two of them immediately hide in the area protected by the Marine Special Marines, they also asked Tanaka Shinichi to temporarily serve as the Guards Division and the Eastern Division. The two positions in the military headquarters are responsible for all the security of Thrush King.
At the same time, the navy's intelligence department was ordered to go all out to listen to and spy on all intelligence from the army, especially the intelligence on the movements of Anan, Tojo and others!
At the same time, Suzuki also communicated with Kido via telegraph and sent people to report, ensuring that Tianhuang's side could be completely under the protection of Shinichi Tanaka.
A stillbirth. This allowed Suzuki and the others to speed up the process of surrender. They contacted the Allied Forces for the second time and asked to accept the surrender while ensuring the safety and future status of all Locust troops and Tian Huang.
The Allied response was still unconditional surrender, otherwise the attack would continue.
The Allied forces have now begun landing operations in the north and south directions on Kyushu Island. Gao Jianwu's northern front has even successfully landed on the beach, and now they are reorganizing their troops to attack the important port of Fugang!
On the southern front, most of Tanegashima has been occupied. The Allied forces, Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei's troops gathered near Lu'er. The Allied fleet began to carry out overwhelming shelling and aerial bombardment of the target area!
More than 70% of the Little Japanese defensive position has been destroyed!
Even though they don't have Gao Jianwu's accuracy, the density and quantity of their artillery fire are an order of magnitude greater than Gao Jianwu's!
Therefore, with the number of artillery shells and bombs piled up, the little Japanese shore defense position is not much better!
The 10,000 Allied vanguard troops and the 5,000-strong Ding Wei assault group began preparing to land on the beach!
The entire southern front expeditionary force has a complete set of beautiful weapons and equipment, which are exactly the same as those of the Allied Forces. Facing the landing, Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei have already divided the work. This time, Ding Wei takes the lead and leads the first echelon to seize the beach command. The expeditionary force must be launched. The momentum!
Chu Yunfei is in charge of the overall planning, and at the same time, he is prepaying for contingencies. If Ding Wei makes any mistake, Chu Yunfei will provoke the entire army!
Because of this, Ding Weicai said to Chu Yunfei, as a top student from Huangpu, commanding thousands of troops is the right way. You can't imitate a weak-legged person like me who always charges in the front and takes away the position of commanding the vanguard of beach landings. !
In fact, Chu Yunfei wanted to be the first to rush into the little devil's homeland!
Yes, compared to Ryukyu, Kyushu is one of the real native places of the little devil! For Chu Yunfei, who has an orthodox concept of revenge, one of his lifelong ideals is to break into the homeland of the little devil!
The opportunity was right in front of him, but Ding Wei took the lead.
Even though they are no longer the first, because Gao Jianwu's side has successfully landed, and even Li Yunlong and the Grand Brigadier have set foot on Kyushu and began to command the troops to attack from north to south.
The brigade commander commanded the main force to attack Fukang southward, and Li Yunlong commanded a part of the force to attack northward towards Xiangguang, while blocking the reinforcements from the little Japanese going south!
A steady stream of 400,000 troops came ashore from the peninsula to Tsushima and then to Kyushu from breakthroughs.
As for the Air Force, it is constantly taking off through several air force bases such as Busan, Tsushima Island and Jeju Island. On the one hand, it is responsible for bombing the Japanese ground troops. On the other hand, it is hovering in the air and has to deal with the attacks and launches of the Japanese Air Force at any time. Kamikaze attack!
Gao Jianwu, on the one hand, commanded the intelligence of the entire army on the fleet's flagship, and on the other hand, commanded the naval guns to support the progress of the main force. On Li Yunlong's side, only Lin Zun brought a cruiser and destroyer to support.
After all, heavy artillery and tanks have not yet reached the shore. Relying on 75mm mountain guns and 107mm rocket launchers, it is not a big problem to attack ground troops, but attacking fortresses and solid bunkers is still insufficient.
The heavy cruiser has a 203mm naval gun. Even if it does not have the commanding skills of Gao Jianwu, facing the military facilities and equipment near the shore defense, the naval gun will be guided within the coordinate attack range of the frontline scouts, constantly correcting the bombardment plan. Empress Yuan also bombarded and destroyed the little Japanese's position!
If the Japs in front of him do not have the support of bunkers and heavy artillery, Li Yunlong will not panic. He now holds a 36-gun mountain artillery regiment and a 36-gun 107mm rocket launcher regiment. Facing the fierce firepower of the infantry troops, Li Yunlong surpasses Li Yunlong. beyond imagination.
Like a round of bombardment by a 107mm rocket artillery regiment, it is comparable to the salvos of more than ten artillery battalions!
The entire Little Devils Wing-level position can be covered with one rocket launcher and that's it!
The power is terrifying, but it is a bit logistically demanding, because the shells fired in one round are more than 10 tons! If you’re not a wealthy family, you really can’t afford it.
This time, we had to rely on Allied transport ships to transport logistics ammunition, etc. Gao Jianwu was able to form five 107 rocket launcher regiments to go into battle.
A rocket launcher has a base number of 64 shells and weighs 1.5 tons. This time I brought 5 base rounds of ammunition for each rocket in Kyushu Island. This is 1350 tons. I don’t know if it can be used.
Anyway, this ammunition is not enough, so we can only use the Allied M1 and M2 cannons to use them.
Gao Jianwu wants to show off with a 107mm rocket launcher. More than 1,000 tons of ammunition is already painful enough.
...
The northern front took the lead in opening up the situation. As the Allied forces launched landing operations on the southern front, they faced a much more severe situation than Gao Jianwu and others. The number of kamikaze commandos first deployed in the south was far greater than that in the north. The little devils originally judged that the south was the most important place. The main location for Allied landing operations.
Because this is the most natural choice to come to Ryukyu. Two military defense units are deployed directly in the south. Compared with one army in the north, the strength has more than doubled!
Moreover, the landing place chosen by the Allied forces was also within the expectations of the little devil.
So not only were the number of Japs on the beachhead far greater than that of Gao Jianwu, they were facing the Japs. In the second-line positions outside the beachhead, the Japs deployed as many as two brigades as backup troops.
Fortunately, the first batch of troops that landed with the Allied forces included tank troops. Ding Wei also had a tank battalion provided by the Allied forces to charge in front, coupled with the continuous bombing and interception of the Air Force, as well as the continuous artillery fire of naval guns. After a bloody battle, they managed to secure the beachhead front position and began to receive a steady stream of follow-up troops to land.
After the first 5,000 assault troops commanded by Ding Wei captured the first position, they suffered more than 2,000 casualties!
It can be called the heaviest casualty since the war started in Ryukyu, but Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei had no choice at all. The casualties in the rest of the Allied forces were only much higher than those on Ding Wei's side! Of course, since the Japs don't have many heavy weapons, these casualties are mainly penetrating wounds from rifles, and most of them can be salvaged. This finally puts less pressure on Ding Wei.
The little Japanese kamikaze team also took off desperately. Even if the Allies built two lines of defense through air force and fleet anti-aircraft fire, there were still fish that slipped through the net and rushed into the Allied fleet transport group, including 1 escort aircraft carrier. , 2 destroyers and 3 transport ships were shot and sunk!
Fortunately, the transport ship was now close to the coastline. On the Allied side, only the officers and soldiers around the hit part were violently exploded, causing more than a hundred casualties. The rest of the officers and soldiers were rescued in time, and the casualties were not too great.
But this made the Allies very nervous. After all, almost anyone hit by a ton of explosives would sink. Who could withstand this? !
The Allied air force in the Western Pacific Theater was almost completely mobilized and gathered around Ryukyu, East China, and the Peninsula. At the same time, there were almost thousands of fighter jets circling Kyushu Island. Seeing the kamikaze aircraft taking off, there was no trace of them. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and beat him up.
Directly turn the sky over Kyushu Island into a no-fly zone!
For Gao Jianwu, this is also a good thing, which means that he does not need to worry too much about the Japanese kamikaze commandos. Even local Japanese soldiers may rush up, but in that direction, Gao Jianwu deployed two brigades to take turns. Patrol interdiction.
Ensure the safety of your troops.
The brigade commander conducted a large-scale cooperative operation with Gao Jianwu for the first time. He led his troops to advance along Gangyuan, Zongxiang, Fujin, Xingong and other cities.
The elite 75mm mountain artillery regiment and the 107th rocket artillery regiment opened the way. Most of the trench positions dug by the little devils were completely unable to fight back in the face of the fierce artillery fire.
In the positions of these edge cities, the main force of the Little Japanese Artillery is the 92 Infantry Cannon and some small steel cannons and grenades. Among them, the Type 41 Mountain Cannon is very rare, usually in the single digits, and the 92 Infantry Cannon is at most squadron level. .
Faced with the brigade commander's overwhelming rocket launcher attack, the Japanese artillerymen were often killed in one encounter, and then the mountain artillery cleared the fire points one after another.
After clearing the machine gun firepower points, the assault battalion with a full set of Type 43 assault rifles and automatic firepower, supported by heavy machine guns, often solves the problem with a single charge when faced with a brigade-level Jaap position!
The little Japanese's 38-inch cap is in front of the Type 43 assault rifle, and it seems like it is separated by an era.
This is the first time for the Grand Brigade Commander to use his home-made weapons to fight a large-scale battle. Now seeing these fully armed troops on the front line with overwhelming force, I can't help but be filled with emotion!
Such a powerful force was something I couldn't even imagine at the beginning.
But this is only part of it!
Heavy artillery troops! New tank unit! And the falcons flying in the air have not yet joined the battle group.
If we follow the trinity of sea, land and air proposed by Gao Jianwu, the Brigadier cannot figure out how to lose this battle!
Of course, it's not that the brigade commander is swollen, but that it already includes complete superiority in the air and sea. Your own troops can call for firepower reinforcements from the air and sea at any time, while the opponent can only be passive in this regard. Get beaten!
The Brigadier had already experienced this modern fighting method when he was in the Northeast, so the powerful Kwantung Army was held down and beaten by the Brigadier like Sun Tzu!
Now the troops are even better. Gao Jianwu and his fleet are outside at any time to provide fire reinforcements, just like reinforced concrete fortifications. As long as the front line calls, within a few minutes, the naval guns will throw hundreds of kilograms of heavy artillery shells on the ground. Above these sturdy bunkers.
In just a few shots, these bunkers will either be blown away or the little devils inside will be blown to death. There will be no second way to survive!
This powerful coordinated operation allowed the Grand Brigadier to advance very quickly. It was easy to attack two or three cities in one day.
It's not far from the sea. The terrain is flat and there are no hills for the little devils to build a strong position.
The defensive positions built on trenches still had a strong defensive effect a few years ago when rifles and grenades were the main firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
But things have changed a long time ago. With only the 4 cutting-edge attack groups of domestically produced weapons advancing forward, the brigade commander directly holds 4 mountain artillery regiments and 4 rocket launcher regiments. Not to mention, there are enough large troops to follow up. More than two dozen 75mm artillery regiments!
This is a huge force that most of the coalition-level Jaap defensive positions in the cities along the way cannot withstand!
Two days later, the brigade commander fought all the way to Fugang, a central port city in the Little Devils!
