Chapter 198 How cruel!
For the Japanese army that invaded the southeast coast, they might never dream of it. In the early years, they relied on their powerful naval and air force to rage all over the southeast coast. Now, the Southwest Independence Army has also begun to counterattack their occupied areas in this way.
Although many Japanese generals felt that they needed to gather their naval and air force strength to fight with the Southwest Independent Army. However, facing the gathering of naval and air force in Menia, the Japanese army could not support the two-line battles, unless they were willing to give up their local defense.
With the long-term naval and air battle, Menia has severely damaged the strong Japanese army before the war. Even Menia has paid a heavy price, but its industrial system and strategic resources are obviously much stronger than the Japanese army.
A large number of advanced fighter jets that restrain Zero fighter jets have been replenished to the Menian air force, and many warships that were built at the same time were launched and delivered. Even if the Japanese army was desperately producing fighter jets and warships, the construction speed was obviously not as good as consumption.
On the contrary, the military-industrial enterprises in the United States, which have fully firepowered, are several times stronger than the Japanese army in this regard. One fights less and the other fights more and more. Over time, the Japanese army, which originally had the advantage of sea and air, also began to go downhill.
It’s not that they don’t want to save them, but that they need to make choices. In the dilemma of rescuing the Southeast colonies or defending local and peripheral islands, many cabinet ministers know what choices they need to make.
Most importantly, the Japanese army also deployed a large number of warships along the southeast coast. In addition to the bombed warships, many warships were attacked by unknown submarines shortly after they left the port and were sunk without exception.
Some Japanese suspected that this was a submarine force in Menia. But in fact, this was the Seawolf Commando flying a new type of submarine and began to hunt Japanese ships on the southeast coast. With the Air Force for reconnaissance and guidance, the Seawolf Commando just needs to wait and wait for the rabbit.
Regarding the news about the new submarine, the Southwest Independence Army is currently tightly sealed off. Even the Menia side has always believed that it was the submarines they sold to the Southwest Independence Army. In fact, those submarines have been used as training submarines.
The two expanded submarine formations are now equipped with new submarines from the Southwest Independence Army. However, the submarines are only floating on the base and are tightly blocked, even the Menia side does not know about these situations.
The Japanese infantry brigade stationed in Xiangdao naturally knew about the recent bombing incident. Even if they docked in the military port of warships, they did not escape the fate of being bombed. Faced with the Eagle Strike Air Force that regained air supremacy, the Japanese army could only sigh.
The Third Division of the Wolf Army, who landed on the outer island overnight, after resting for one night, Xie Jinyuan, who had not slept for a night, soon received a telegram from the Eagle Strike Air Force and the Seahawk Squadron who were cooperating with the landing operations, asking whether he could launch an attack.
"Have the group assembled?"
"Report to the division commander, log in and you can set off at any time!"
"Okay! Are the second and third regiments ready?"
“Everything is in place!”
"Okay! Send a report to the Eagle Strike Air Force and the Seahawk Fleet, and ask it to sweep away the defensive positions deployed by the Japanese army on the outside of the island and cover our division to carry out the landing. The orders for all regiments to enter the island after the landing is successful and clear up the current knowledge!"
"Yes, the commander!"
Several telegrams were sent out, and the commander of the Seahawk Fleet gathered outside the island immediately ordered: "Go forward at full speed! Prepare for war!"
The messenger raised the flags and surrounded several warships near the flagship, and soon moved forward in combat formations in full swing. The Eagle Strike Air Force in the air took the lead in carrying out a fierce air strike on the periphery of the islands occupied by the Japanese army.
Although the Japanese army strengthened its air defense deployment, facing the powerful Eagle Strike Air Force, the air defense power deployed by the Japanese army was soon destroyed by fighter planes. Looking at the bombers that began to drop bombs in the air, the Japanese army on the ground felt helpless.
The Japanese army hiding in the air defense trench could not help but curse, "Baga! Where is our fighter plane? Where is our warship? Why did they disappear without a trace when we needed them the most?
No one gave them an answer to such curse. The only thing a senior commander who knew the answer was to order the troops to be patient and persevere as much as possible until reinforcements arrived. The question is, when will reinforcements arrive?
Looking at the fighter planes whizzing through the air, many Xiangdao people who hid in after hearing the explosions, also said curiously: "Is this our fighter plane? Have our army started a counterattack? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Who knows! However, after hearing the movements outside, the Japanese who were suffering from plague are afraid they will be in trouble!"
"Who said no! I just hope that after the fight this time, I won't fight again. If I continue to fight, nothing will be gone!"
Any peace-loving common people hate war from the bottom of their hearts. Previously, the Japanese army forcibly invaded Xiangdao and snatched control of the island from the British colonial army. At that time, the Japanese army on the island also committed many killings on the island.
Now there is artillery fire outside, and many people are worried that the troops on the island will start a new round of killing. The artillery fire is ruthless. Who knows whether they are involved in the battlefield will be affected by the fish?
Just as the people prayed that the war would end quickly, the Japanese troops stationed at the port soon discovered a large number of warships. The sentry responsible for the guards immediately shouted: "Discover unknown warships! Discover unknown warships! Getting closer, approaching!"
Not long after yelling out these words, the Japanese army, who had just survived the bombing, was once again baptized by the large-caliber naval gun. First, the landing area was covered, and then the naval gun began to extend backwards and continue to attack the Japanese army farther away.
At the same time, the captain of various troop transport ships following the warship also began to approach the Japanese shore defense positions under the command of the commander. Although the Japanese army was very anxious, they were unable to stop them.
Many fighter jets that have not yet left in the air can escort the landing troops at any time. Once the Japanese army is found to launch artillery counterattacks on the coast, the fighter jet formation will destroy the Japanese artillery troops in the shortest time.
What's more, behind the landing troops, there are a large number of warships covering the cover. Is it really a decoration to think that naval guns are a decoration?
Watching the landing troops jumped off the troop transport ship quickly fought on the beachhead and began to penetrate into the islands. The Japanese army, who were originally hiding in the tunnel, could only bite the bullet and resist.
But after the fight, the Japanese army said in horror: "Baga! What kind of troops is this? Why are their firepower so strong?"
The arsenal developed a shaped Han-style rifle, which has now been put into the army in large quantities. Hu Biao, who knew the importance of logistics unity, also began to change the seizure of Japanese equipment, either sold or sent out.
The sniper bazooka light mortar and recoilless gun are equipped with a first-level combat force. This time, Hu Biao even gave priority to the third division with the latest flamethrowers that have been successfully developed and mass-produced.
Looking at the Japanese hiding in the tunnel and still fighting stubbornly, the platoon leader in charge of the attack immediately said: "Firebreathing soldiers, come on!"
The fire-breathing soldiers aimed at the tunnel and ignited the launch tube, then sprayed a series of flames into the tunnel. Listening to the screams from the Japanese inside, the combat officers and soldiers responsible for covering felt very happy.
"Damn it! With the fire spear, all the rats in the cave can be killed!"
It is clear that this kind of Japanese devils who cannot hide is indeed the most difficult to solve. Now that there are flamethrowers, the casualties of the offensive troops will be greatly reduced. The special forces team sent to Menia to be responsible for teaching are also training related troops for Menian infantry.
Every time I see the Japanese who screamed and rushed out of the tunnel with fire, the Menian infantry who suffered a lot would whistle excitedly: "Beautiful! That's it, burn these damn short gongs to death!"
The grassroots officer of Menia who was in charge of the attack also said admirably: "Damn it! If the superiors had invited the Independence Army to come to guide us, maybe our previous battles would not have suffered such great casualties. Independence Army is so cruel!"
I sighed that each instructor team invited by the military headquarters was extremely powerful in combat skills, and many Menian army officers and soldiers could also see that they really understand the Japanese army's combat methods and could always make the Japanese army blocking them pay a heavy price.
Fortunately, the war ended in this regard, the Menian officers and soldiers no longer had any mercy towards the Japanese army. The prisoners of war who were previously rescued by the Independent Army were well aware of how abuse they had been in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.
With the crazy side shown by the Japanese army, many Menian combat officers and soldiers no longer expect to capture any prisoners. As long as they see the living Japanese, they will shoot and kill them without saying a word.
As the instructors of the instructor team said, only the dead Japanese devils are good Japanese devils!
With the three main regiments of the Third Division launched an attack on the Japanese army from three sides. The Japanese army with limited troops could only deal with two attacking attacks. A regiment of the Third Division quickly penetrated the Japanese defensive air.
The Japanese brigade commander who was about to deploy street fighting on the island heard the gunshots from the city and said in surprise: "Where are you shooting? Damn it, did the Independence Army come so quickly? Where is our blocking force?"
"General, a large number of independent troops were found in the city, and they were forcing towards the command post. To ensure your safety, please evacuate quickly! Our troops are fighting with all their might, but I am afraid that they will not be able to delay for too long."
"Baga! Damn Independence Army, how many troops did they dispatch?"
"At least one main division! The main division of the Independent Army is equivalent to one of our Class A divisions. If the superiors cannot reinforce in time, relying on our existing troops alone, I am afraid that it will not last long!"
The telegram asking for reinforcements has been sent for many days, but has never received any reply. The Japanese brigade commander who knew that the country was unable to reinforcements was very clear that they had already decided to carry out landing operations since the Southwest Independence Army decided to carry out landing operations.
