"Fighter planes conducted extended bombings, and reconnaissance planes paid attention to the enemy's incoming reinforcements. All units landed and occupied the beachhead as quickly as possible. After the troops assembled, they immediately attacked Lingao..."

A series of orders were immediately issued, and countless Marines of the National Defense Force roared and directly penetrated the Japanese fortifications that had been bombarded into ruins.

Those remnants were the Japanese who tried to resist, but what greeted them was the cold-blooded massacre by the Marines.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...Boom! Boom!! Boom..." In Lingao City, Kurosawa Yuki's headquarters had begun to be attacked. Countless Tiger Roaring rockets rained down on his headquarters.

The Japanese soldiers on guard screamed and were torn apart by the explosions, their flesh and blood spraying on the ground. The Japanese soldiers in the simple fortifications were constantly replenished, trying to withstand the guerrillas' attack.

But unfortunately, this guerrilla force is just called a guerrilla force. In fact, their weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the regular army, and are even much better.

Tiger automatic rifles, sniper rifles, Tiger Roars, Punishers, etc. were all available. For a while, the Japanese soldiers were so beaten that they could not hold their heads up. They could only be beaten in silence.

"Lieutenant Colonel, a call from the Qiongkou headquarters! Let us hold on for two hours. The supporting troops are on their way. The fighter planes have also begun to take off..."

"Makanoro!! Are they idiots?! We only have one brigade of troops, how can we support it for two hours?!" Kurosawa Yuki directly crumpled the telegram into a ball and threw it aside with a pale face.

Kurosawa Yuki's brigade has more than 1,100 people, but the actual combat soldiers are only 600 to 700 people. The rest are all artillery, logistics and command staff.

The indiscriminate bombing by the National Defense Forces just now wiped out more than 200 Japanese soldiers and more than 500 puppet troops on the beach fortifications. A squadron that supported the past was dispersed before it reached the battlefield.

Even the puppet troops who supported the past were not left behind. They were all defeated and scattered.

The less than 200 troops remaining in the city were held back by the guerrillas and unable to move. Since it was not a key defense area, Qiongdao garrison commander Makita Qiu believed that just one brigade of more than a thousand men was enough to defend the place.

.

But what he didn't expect was that the National Defense Forces would land from here. This caused the Japanese army to be caught off guard for a moment! Although Lieutenant General Makita Akira urgently ordered all fighter planes on Qiongdao to take off and sent a wing to support.

But he himself was not sure whether the Kurosawa Brigade could hold Lingao...

"How many people have logged in already?!" Shen Honglie put down his binoculars and asked the adjutant beside him. The adjutant took out his notebook and glanced at it, saying: "Fifteen minutes ago, a total of more than 13,400 people have logged in.

people……"

"Not enough, speed up!" Shen Honglie said in a deep voice: "The Japanese don't leave us much time. After the landing, we still need to go back and bring the troops from the South China Military Region. We must recover Qiongdao as soon as possible. We cannot give it to the Japanese.

Time to think, otherwise it will change!"

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded, and then went down to deliver the order. A large number of ships swarmed towards the beach. The soldiers in uniform jumped into the water and headed towards the shore.

The assembled troops quickly rushed towards Lingao City, and countless ordnance was sent to the beach. Tiger roars, mortars, anti-aircraft cannons... and other ordnance were sent to the shore one after another.

"Report! Our department has discovered a Japanese fighter plane, which is about a hundred kilometers away from our position. It has already started exchanging fire with our fighter planes..."

After hearing the news, Shen Honglie was not nervous but relieved. It was good that the Japanese fighter planes had been discovered. As long as they were discovered, they would not be able to escape the attacks and killings of the sea eagles.

"Back up! Don't let any fighter planes come to the position!" Shen Honglie ordered simply: "Withdraw the bombers and all the fighters take off, stop them!"

"yes!!"

At this time, in the sky more than 100 kilometers away from Lingao County, the aviation brigade under the Qiongdao Garrison Division of the Japanese Army was fighting with difficulty against the sea eagles of the National Defense Force.

The Sea Eagles are all elites drawn from the Air Force, and the fighter planes are relatively more advanced than the type-one type currently flown by the Japanese Air Force, so they are almost suppressed.

"Boom, boom, boom...boom!!" Amidst the roar of the cannons, Japanese fighter planes were blown up and crashed. Several fighter planes tried to escape from the encirclement, but unfortunately, other Wehrmacht sea eagles had already Surrounded.

Because the Japanese army lost Southeast Asia, they were severely short of steel and other materials. Under this situation, the Japanese army's research on new fighter aircraft came to a standstill.

A large amount of research has been put forward, and some new fighters have been developed. However, they cannot be mass-produced. The latest Type 1 and Type 3 fighters have only been equipped with the Navy and Japanese troops.

As for troops that are too far away like Qiongdao, the only equipment they can equip is the same type that has been eliminated by the local troops.

Even with this kind of fighter planes, the base camp did not want to hand them over to the Qiongdao Defense Division. If Makita Akizaka hadn't threatened to disembowel him, Tojo really didn't want to hand over these fighters to the Qiongdao Defense Division.

In his opinion, it might be better to hand it over to the garrison forces of Guam and Iwo Jima. The National Defense Forces of nearly 10,000 people attacked the Japanese brigade of less than 300 people that had been disabled.

There was no suspense about this result. In less than twenty minutes, Kurosawa Yuki's headquarters was directly blown into a pile of rubble by artillery fire. When Kurosawa Yuki was found, half of his body had been blown away.

There were only less than thirty Japanese soldiers in the ruins groaning in pain. Chen Zhaozao made a gesture without looking at it. The guerrilla soldiers understood that the nearly thirty Japanese prisoners turned into no prisoners. captive.

"Hahaha...Old Chen! Thank you for your hard work!" He Wenwu, the former commander of the Singapore Division of the National Defense Force, has now been transferred to the command of the Marine Corps.

The military rank has been changed from major general to lieutenant general. Of course, his Marine Corps has not yet been fully formed. According to the plan of the National Defense Forces General Staff, the Marine Corps must have at least 150,000 people.

It is equivalent to the combat strength of a military region, and the areas they are responsible for include overseas garrisons and naval landing operations. Many generals in the army had some objections to this arrangement, but the noise disappeared after learning that it was personally ordered by the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces. .

"We have a long coastline, long maritime borders and overseas territories. These areas are what we must control, and the army is not very good at this kind of combat. We need a specialized force to take charge of this area..."

This was Tu Menghu's explanation to the army generals at that time. The generals had no choice but to accept this explanation whether they wanted to or not. In order to show their importance, He Wenwu's military rank was promoted to lieutenant general.

At the same time, the size of the entire Marine Corps, including the Marine Corps waiting in the Northeast, has reached 100,000. This time is just a small test, and the participating troops are all the elite of the Marine Corps.

Their experience will be brought to the Northeast, and then they will cooperate with the army and navy to carry out landing operations on the Korean Peninsula.

"For soldiers of the National Defense Force, there is no such thing as suffering!" Chen Zhaozao solemnly gave a military salute to He Wenwu and said: "Commander, when he was in Singapore, did he ever say anything about suffering?"

He Wenwu smiled and patted Chen Zhaozao on the shoulder. This is a man, and he is worthy of being valued by the General Staff.

"Old Chen, when I go back to the headquarters this time, I plan to let you go to the National Defense Forces University to study the senior command department. Get ready!" He Wenwu said with a smile: "I have already made a request with the headquarters. After you graduate, you will go to the General Staff first. Then you have to come.

I’m a Marine at work!”

"Ah?!" Chen Zhaozao was completely dumbfounded and looked at He Wenwu who was speechless. Seeing his appearance, He Wenwu looked a little ugly.

"What?! Looking down on me, the Marine Corps?!"

"No! I...I originally planned to liberate Qiongdao, and I would go to liberate Yizhou. Then I would go back to Singapore to continue doing business..." Chen Zhaozao said a little embarrassedly: "I was still there with my brother and fellow villagers.

We opened a pharmacy together..."

Although he has been a member of the National Defense Forces for a long time, Chen Zhaozao's biggest wish is to live an ordinary life with his children and his brother.

"Hahaha... you! After putting on this military uniform, I don't know how many people are reluctant to take it off. How about you, are you thinking of retiring now?!" He Wenwu laughed, patted Chen Zhaozao on the shoulder and said: "Retirement is the way to go.

What?! You are still young, you need to learn more skills to protect your family and country!"

"Don't think that after this battle is over, we can rest easy. There are many people in this world who want us dead and wish our country would be destroyed and our family destroyed. These people are our enemies!"

As He Wenwu spoke, his expression became serious: "If we don't want to be invaded again, we must have a strong national defense. And we are the last security barrier for the people of this country! With such responsibility, why should we retire lightly?

!”

Chen Zhaozao was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Then let me think about it..."

He Wenwu didn't say anything. He nodded with a smile and turned around to enter the temporary headquarters. The headquarters was busy with the gathering situation of various ministries, the current distance of the Japanese support troops, the situation of ships transporting the South China Military Region... etc. all needed to be reviewed.

Collected here.

He Wenwu began to lay out fortifications on the built sand table. There was one Japanese garrison division and two independent mixed brigades on Qiongdao, totaling more than 40,000 people. They were stationed in Qiongkou, Yazhou and Qiongzhou respectively. The rest were stationed in Qiongkou, Yazhou and Qiongzhou.

Including Baocheng, Shacheng, Yingge... and other areas have independent garrison brigades.

If all are counted, there are at least 60,000 Japanese troops guarding Qiongdao. The number of puppet troops is even greater, with a rough estimate of at least 100,000 people.

The three areas of Qiongkou, Yazhou and Qiongzhou are respectively the upper, middle and lower parts of Qiongdao. There is no doubt that they are now attacking Lingao from three directions at the fastest speed.

Qiongkou, which is closest to Lingao, is undoubtedly the biggest threat at present.

"Report! Our reconnaissance team has discovered a Japanese support force, about 30 kilometers away from our headquarters! The 28th Regiment of the 3rd Marine Division has begun digging fortifications in Long Bo Village, preparing to meet the enemy!"

"Order the 28th Regiment to hold the position for at least an hour! Order Wan Rongxuan of the 3rd Division to bring his 29th and 30th Regiments to support!"

He Wenwu gave the order directly without looking back. He knew exactly where each unit would arrive.

"Order Chen Tai of the First Division to build fortifications in Meitai Village and send out reconnaissance troops to monitor the movements in Qiongzhou. Order Cai Jun of the Second Division to immediately go to Yigu Village to build fortifications and monitor the Japanese troops in the direction of Yazhou!"

"There must be no loss in any of these three positions. Tell them. I need to hold on for at least one day!"

"Commander... First, the people of the Second Division have not come down yet. Let's let them pass now..." Chief of Staff Xue Wen hesitated and said to He Wenwu: "Isn't it inappropriate?!"

"Old Xue, now is no longer the time to discuss whether it is appropriate or not. We need to pay attention to any movement of the Japanese army, which is related to the success or failure of our entire landing. If we do not finish the attack, we will continue! Wait until the troops below them have assembled, and then

Support us!"

As he said that, He Wenwu chuckled and said: "Besides, the Japanese troops in Qiongzhou and Yazhou are only at the brigade level. Even if they strengthen the brigade, they will not send too many combat troops. I believe that one of us

The regiment can still be defended!"

Xue Wen nodded and said: "Then let Chen Zhaozao organize manpower support. I'm worried that they are not familiar with the terrain. This is not good for reconnaissance and position layout."

He Wenwu was deeply convinced by Xue Wen's words, and he immediately sent for Chen Zhaozao and ordered him to organize guerrillas to assist. On the one hand, he served as a guide, and on the other hand, he also directed the National Defense Force's reconnaissance troops to monitor some mountain trails.

Not long after, the 28th Regiment of the 3rd Marine Division outside Long Bo Village was already at war with the Japanese troops who had come from Qiongkou for support! After the impatient Japanese troops discovered the troops of the National Defense Forces, they started fighting without saying a word.

attack.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." This offensive force was equipped with a 155mm-caliber heavy artillery that was rarely seen in Japanese divisions, and it bombarded the positions of the National Defense Forces.

Since this position was built temporarily and urgently, it was incomplete in many aspects. The soldiers of the 28th Regiment were lightly armed, so they could only temporarily avoid the Japanese artillery fire.

"Grandma! If my artillery hadn't kept up, I would have killed you now!" Tang Junmao, commander of the 28th Regiment, cursed in his headquarters, while Kan Hong, the regimental staff officer next to him, laughed.

.

"Captain! Are you exaggerating too much? Our regiment only has six 75mm mountain cannons. This Japanese mountain cannon has a larger caliber than ours and a longer range than ours! To deal with them, we have to

It will only happen if the artillery from the division headquarters comes up!"

Tang Junmao smiled awkwardly and said: "I said we have been partners for only a day or two. If you don't try to dismantle me, will you die?!"

"Ouch! What kind of bastard came to my house last time and lied to my wife that I asked him to get some wine?! He just stole my 30-year-old bottle of Fenjiu and drank it!" Mentioning this

When this happened, Kan Hong became furious.
To be continued...
