Chapter 313 Landing Operation
Chapter 313: Log in to fight
"Come here! There is a Japanese fortification over there. However, there is a water tower from behind, which can be looked down from a high place. There is a window on the wall behind it that can directly enter the water tower." Zhu Tingwen said while leading the way for Li Hanwen and the others.
When he saw the flag of the Pioneer Army, he immediately ran out of the hiding place and took the initiative to ask for guidance. He was a little reckless, and the army had very strict requirements for the people who led the way. It was not that a common man came out and he felt that he was deeply loved by the people. If he was careful, he might be taken into the ditch by others.
There are many people in this world. It is not that he is a Chinese, but he must serve China.
Fortunately, an intelligence officer who was exploring intelligence nearby recognized him and knew that he was not an activist in the enemy. Only then did two teams act with Zhu Tingwen.
While walking, we summoned the paratroopers scattered beside us to join their team, and soon there were more than fifty people.
Li Hanwen made a few gestures, and five vanguard paratroopers rushed over quickly. A 3-man machine gun team and a 2-man sniper team. After occupying the high point, they could snipe from a condescending place.
"The rainwater channel in that place can directly access the bunker there, and you can get close to a vent not far away with grenades. After removing the bunker, there is an office building behind it, which can be entered through the back door. I will take you to pass the underground channel first. There is no water there, but it is a little narrower, and it needs to be climbed for a long time." Zhu Tingwen said as he leaned over to move the rainwater lid.
"No need!" Li Hanwen stopped him. A soldier behind him ran up with an iron fist 30 anti-tank rocket launcher. This was a 4.2 kilograms of small 30 iron fist, which could penetrate 140 mm armor. Although he was not as good as the 200 mm armor-piercing ability of the big 30 iron fist, it was one kilogram lighter, and it was enough to deal with the Japanese general bunkers.
From the corner here to the Japanese bunker, it is only less than 50 meters, which is enough for the short-footed iron fist with a maximum range of only 100 meters. The place where Zhu Tingwen led them here is a blind spot for the Japanese bunker. As long as you don't enter within forty meters, you can be blocked by the buildings next to you. Because this is already on the throwing range of grenades, the Japanese didn't care much about it. The vanguard soldier adjusted the iron fist's suggestion ruler to around 40 meters and easily aimed at the bunker.
"Boom!" Zhu Tingwen, who covered his ears and shook for a while in the explosion, looked at the broken walls in a daze, and was a little dazed: "How can such an iron tube have such great power?"
He didn't know that this was just the least powerful iron fist. This time the paratroopers lacked artillery support, and the mortar was helpless when encountering tanks, etc. So Meng Xiang invested in the anti-tank rocket launcher. Only the Iron Fist Xiao 30 and Iron Fist 60 were put into service in this operation. The Little 30 was because of his lightness, while the 6.8 kg Iron Fist 60 was because of his great power of 200 mm of armor-piercing.
Not only Zhu Tingwen and others, after quickly finding the weapon equipment box dropped by the air, each team had at least three iron fists. Although Iron Fist 1 was a one-time, it did not occupy the organization, it was light and practical, and it was powerful. When encountering a tough attack, you can directly aim at the Japanese bunkers and fortifications to attack.
The sound of the mg-42 machine gun tearing began to sound around.
More than a dozen Chinese railway workers at the station also joined the guidance team at the hello of Zhu Tingwen, accelerating the process of the vanguard army attacking the Japanese.
One and a half squadron of the Japanese were cleaned up bit by bit under the sudden attack of nearly 300 people from two vanguard paratroopers and the powerful attack behind them.
At noon, Meng Xiang received news that Shanhaiguan had already bought it.
"Build a defensive position immediately. The reinforcements from a corps of Kwantung Army are almost here. There is also the Qinhuangdao location, where there is a whole brigade of Japanese troops stationed. When attacked on both sides, they must hold on." Meng Xiang instructed.
"Why is there no news about the Marine Corps?" He couldn't help but look at the large military map.
Yesterday, the Nagamon-class battleship named Zhenyuan of the Pioneer Army appeared in the northeastern area of the Miaodao Islands.
Under the escort of the three destroyers and Football Team of the Pioneer Army, the Zhenyuan took a walk, and after snatching the hearts of the people, he slowly returned.
In this era, battleships were shock weapons. The people of the *** did not dare to take it lightly for the visits of the Zhenyuan, which made the Japanese Navy in Fushun focus on the Zhenyuan. It was not until they watched them walk away that they discovered that another fleet of the vanguard army had reached the entrance of the Luan River.
At the mouth of Luanhe River, the vegetation on both sides has not been completely destroyed. Although the downstream river channel is soothing, it is still possible to drive slightly larger ships.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zhao Junmai came to the scene and shouted loudly, making it hard to remember Director Zhao who looked gentlemanly.
Crocodile-class landing ships carried trucks and soldiers directly upstream. Not far behind them, three huge lst landing ships and four cargo ships approached the river beach under the distance of the Canglong aircraft carrier and two Scott destroyers, and lowered the landing ladder boards. The brigade of soldiers and trucks and tanks rushed to the shore directly.
There was no one on this river beach with good landing conditions. The soldiers of the Marine Brigade landed successfully like an exercise. The *** people never expected that the Pioneer Army would have such a move. They made a large-scale landing, and the Pioneer Army set another precedent.
Although there were fewer dangerous and bloody landing scenes, Zhao Junmai still used a higher speed to demand his soldiers. The transportation formation that started from Longkou Port the night before yesterday was advancing at a speed of 8 knots. Since most of the Japanese's attention was diverted, the little gunboat he encountered was also killed by the plane and destroyer. Therefore, the Japanese did not alarm along the way.
But I encountered a slightly larger storm on the way. The three large lst landing ships had little problem with their full load displacement of 4,080 tons, but those crocodile-class boats encountered a crisis and overturned four in a row.
Although there were not many people on the boat and the soldiers of the Marine Brigade could swim, eight soldiers died in the cold sea water when they were rescued.
The crocodile-class landing craft originating from the LCVP vehicle personnel landing craft was originally just a short-distance transportation. At this time, it was a 110 nautical miles long attack with large ships, which was somewhat inappropriate, but it still needed its ability to land on the beach and continue to move inside, so it dragged it together.
At this time, in Luanhe River, more than 20 crocodile-class soldiers were rushing towards the upstream. The two Japanese gunboats encountered in the river were sunk by two S-38 torpedo boats that followed each other with 20mm cannons. They went up and headed towards Luan County together.
The landing soldiers also rushed towards the nearest Leting County with twenty BT-7 tanks in trucks.
Leting, which had only one small team of Japanese soldiers, was attacked and attacked. No planes on the Canglong had a chance to attack.
"It's too unchallenging." Zhao Junmai, who was sitting in the jeep, couldn't help but sigh. The *** people were not prepared at all. Hearing the puppet troops in Leting County, some of the team were preparing to set off to support Tianjin. The rescue personnel from Tangshan and Qinhuangdao set off this morning.
"With the help of Canglong, why not attack Qinhuangdao or Tangshan directly?" Zhao Junmai always had a question in his mind. Although the Japanese there may be stronger, the suddenness of the beach grab can minimize their vigilance. The casualties may be greater, but the effect of the surprise attack is also better.
I wonder if he had such a question, Fan Zhong once raised questions at that time.
"This allows you to successfully log in with the minimum casualties. After all, the Marine Corps has many shortcomings, which require continuous running-in and improvement. Moreover, after logging in, it directly occupied Luan County, cut off the railway from Beiping and Tianjin to the northeast, and with this as the center, use the Beijing-Feng Railway to attack both sides, heading towards Qinhuangdao and Tangshan."
The place where Tangshan landed is close to Tianjin Port, with tight defenses, and Qinhuangdao is far away. It may be better to attack with railways and sea routes. This is reasonable. But it has lost the suddenness of the attack.
But since Meng Xiang has a firm attitude and has made up his mind. In addition, the Marines are indeed experimental teams and have not conducted such actual combat, Fan Zhong will not say anything anymore.
Whether it was Fan Zong or Zhao Junmai, they didn't know that there was a cargo ship once called the Roman in the ship they accompanied.
In Meng Xiang's memory, Luan County has rich coal resources. The first-level base is only ten kilometers away from the direct jurisdiction. If there is no energy support around it, upgrading will be very slow and troublesome.
Long-distance attacks, with only half of the naval brigade and a paratrooper battalion, faced the counterattack of the two Japanese devils from North China and Kwantung Army, would be disastrous if the logistics support was not timely. Even if Tangshan and Qinhuangdao were occupied, there would be no ammunition to be supplemented, and they could only rely on the people who were mobilized to fill it with their lives, which would be unacceptable to Meng Xiang.
Fan Zhong was also a little worried about this. When the Japanese reacted, air freight and sea freight would be curbed and affected, and logistics troubles were inevitable. But Meng Xiang's confident smile finally made him choose to believe Meng Xiang's opinions.
The only thing Meng Xiang uses is the base.
Even if there is no siege in the city, as long as the base is established and established, everything around it will be under Meng Xiang's control.
"Brig Commander Zhao, you can set off now. We must rush to Qinhuangdao as soon as possible and cooperate with the ground troops to attack the Japanese army in Qinhuangdao to support the first regiment fighting in Shanhaiguan!" Long Liu, next to him, came over and reminded. He is now the deputy brigade commander of the Marine Brigade, and the paratroopers have not yet been disclosed to the public. They are called the first regiment of the 54th Army. According to the original plan, after the Marine Brigade has put down some of the people again, some will go to Qinhuangdao.
"Okay! Please give me here!" Zhao Junmai was still very satisfied with his assistant. He had no factional disputes and was a pure soldier. He also allowed him to show his skills in the Marine Corps and had less restraint. He was still very at ease with the ability of this Long Liu.
By the time the ships of Zhao Junmai and others left, the vanguard army's vanguard army had already attacked Luan County. The soldiers landed on the surface of the Luan River and the tank soldiers rushing over from land, a regiment of troops, under the command of Chief of Staff Chen Jiahui, cooperated to attack. With the auxiliary attack of the Canglong fighter jets, Luan County, which had only one squadron, was completely in the hands of the Pioneer Army in less than an hour.
"The first battalion took the train to Qinhuangdao; the second battalion took the train to Tangshan Station, wait for the opportunity to act, do not do anything, do not act rashly. The third battalion defended the surrounding county towns and mines and cleared out the remaining enemies." There are coal mines and iron ore of all sizes near Luan County, and there are many Japanese in the mines, which need to be cleaned up. After such distribution, Chen Jiahui also felt a little nervous.
"Call Deputy Brigade Commander Long, and he has a battalion. If he had his support, Tangshan Railway Station might be able to fight down." Chen Jiahui was so excited at this time that he was passionate about Tangshan, a large industrial city in the north, tried to quickly capture the railway station with two battalions and block the railway passage for the Japanese rescue.
At this time, when he discovered that there was no other strange situation around him, Long Liu issued an order to unload. The remaining Roman merchant ship was opened, and the base car covered with huge canvas floated on the water.
...
On an empty land that had been explored and demarcated, a giant bird that seemed to come from ancient times fell from the sky, and the shadow of the huge wings obscured the entire land in the sky.
"This, is this an airplane?" Zhu Tingwen led more than 100 railway workers to help the Pioneer Army transport supplies. The landing location of the selected plane was relatively close to the railway, and the transportation speed could be accelerated directly through the chariots on the railway. But the me 323d giant glider falling from the sky shocked them, and two of the workers even fell to their knees.
"This is our plane! Our Pioneer Army's plane!" Li Hanwen said proudly. He learned to fly in the United States and had many experiences of parachuting, which quickly became a squadron leader of the paratroopers. But as a paratrooper, it was only the second time he saw this giant bird.
The 323d giant glider landed and rolled up in the sky. The sand and dust were rolled up in the sky with the strong wind blowing from the six propellers rushing towards the crowd. The big bird landed in the screams of people. Sliding all the way, the smoke and dust rolled up like a long yellow tail dragging straight to the distant sky.
