Soon Li Ruyan, Zhang Shaozeng, and Xiao Jun ran to Zhao Shouhong and stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the commander, the first division of the Air Force (the paratrooper regiment, the second regiment of the special warfare division) is all here, please give instructions from the commander."

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "All rest today, we will distribute the battle plan tonight, and we will be disbanded now."

"Yes." The three of them relaxed.

"It's time for us to show our talents, the governor. It was really boring to intercept the Nanyuan army last time." Zhang Shaozeng was obviously a militant and always wanted to fight.

"This time, our special operations team must be the first." Xiao Jun waved his fist.

"Don't argue with anyone, let's watch our air force make a big bombing." Li Ruyan laughed.

Cai Songpo couldn't help but smile, who are these people? They're all a bunch of war lunatics clamoring for war.Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "No problem, you will have a good fight this time. Tell the brothers to rest well, this time we will make a round, and not even a Japanese soldier will let go."

"Hey, this time the governor is going to make a second big one. It seems that the Wa people are in trouble." Li Ruyan laughed.Cai Songpo was secretly surprised as he listened by the side. These high-ranking officers obviously knew the number of the Japanese army. They were so calm and so confident that the Shu army would win. It can be seen that Zhao Shouhong's background is not what he saw.Thinking that such a powerful army is only the tip of the iceberg of the Shu army, Cai Songpo already felt that his brain was not enough.

After discussing and deploying combat missions in the middle of the night, the Shu Army and the Jiaozhi Army all became tense the next day.Both the first and second divisions of the Cochin Army were mobilized. They will attack Jinan together with the No.15 Division and the First Artillery Division of the Shu Army, putting enough pressure on the Japanese army.

The army jointly commanded by Zhao Shouhong and Cai E quickly divided into three groups to attack Jinan, and the Japanese army's various strongholds around Jinan fell one after another.Under the cover of the [-]mm division howitzers, Changqing quickly fell, and the army approached Jinan City.

Today's entire Jiaoji line is regarded by the Japanese as their own land, especially Jinan, which is the center of Qilu Province.Seeing that the Hualan army besieged Jinan, and the two brigades stationed there were retreating steadily, and even entered the stage of street fighting, the Japanese army immediately reinforced them with heavy troops.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army is Yusaku Uehara himself. After analyzing the strength of the Hualan army in Qilu Province, he believes that all the opponent's troops have gathered in Jinan, and this is the best time for a decisive battle against the enemy.Once the opportunity is seized to defeat this Hualan army, the Japanese army will no longer be invincible in Qilu Province, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Hualan government to form such a powerful army again.

As long as this battle is won, the Wa Kingdom will occupy the entire Qilu Province. Since there are still a few Hualan troops stationed in Qilu, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.Thinking of such a tempting result, Yusaku Uehara felt that he still had a fight.Soon the 12th Division and the 17th Brigade of the No.18 Division were transferred to the direction of Jinan. As for the troops along the line, only the [-]th Brigade was deployed in a scattered manner.Among them, Weixian and Gaomi were the focus of defense, and Huangdao, which believed that it could be protected by the navy and had a strong fortress, only released the troops of one wing.

Unbeknownst to Yusaku Uehara, he will soon pay a huge price for his negligence.After the Japanese army pressed up across the board, the Hualan army voluntarily withdrew from Jinan, and the whole army built a defense line in Changqing, waiting for the Japanese army's attack.

Seeing that the Hualan army did not withdraw, Uehara Yusaku would not be polite. He immediately mobilized all the troops in Jinan to attack Changqing's Hualan army defense line.At the same time, under the leadership of Song Zheyuan, the No.19 division went out day and night, and it took only two days to cross Gaomi and reach the area near Huangdao.

On the land of Hualan, the Japanese people are blind and deaf. The No.19 Division is only [-] kilometers away from Huangdao, and the Japanese army didn't realize it.Soon the second special warfare regiment began to exert its strength. Xiao Jun attacked the special forces in small groups. They frequently moved around the Jiaoji line, blowing up railways and trains everywhere.

Some teams were more daring, and even attacked the station at night, and the small number of Japanese troops stationed in these places were frightened.Some officers and soldiers of the Japanese army even used searchlights to shine around at night, for fear that the special forces would touch them.Before the Japanese army was aware of it, the Jiaoji line had actually come to a standstill.

On the morning of December 12th, Kameda Dazuo, who was stationed in Huangdao, gave a routine lecture to the garrison Japanese army. He was just about to finish his speech and let everyone disband when there was a huge roar in the air.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army standing on the playground raised their heads curiously. They didn't understand how there was such a loud noise in the sky.An unforgettable scene appeared for all Japanese soldiers. Huge iron birds pierced the sky and flew over Huangdao.

"Squadron leader, there seems to be Japanese soldiers gathering below." Zhang Zibin, who had the best eyes, reminded through the microphone.Wang Fengxiang, who was driving the H-1 bomber, made a downward gesture, and then he was the first to lower the nose and fly towards the Japanese playground.

"That big bird has come down. What kind of bird is it? Will it eat people?" The Japanese soldiers panicked for a while, but they didn't dare to disband without the commander's order.

Chief Kameda stared at the sky in a daze. Although he had seen Farman planes imported from China, he had never seen such a big guy with four engines.By the time he woke up to the danger, it was too late.Wang Fengxiang, who lowered his altitude, leveled the fuselage and gestured to the bombardier behind him.The bombardiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately pulled the wrench, and the bombs hanging under the wings gradually separated from the fuselage and smashed towards the ground.

Chapter 563 The Battle Between the North and the South

Seeing the big bird drop some black things, the Japanese soldiers, who instinctively felt dangerous, no longer ignored the officer's orders. They shouted and fled in all directions, fleeing to the outside of the playground.However, how can a person's speed be faster than the vertically falling bombs? One hundred kilograms of bombs fell on the playground in succession. The huge explosion sounded through the clouds, and the Japanese soldiers who were closer were torn to pieces.

Bombers lowered their altitude and bombarded the ground wildly. Those Japanese soldiers and forts exposed to the outside were blown up one after another, and the whole Huangdao fell into chaos.After the bombing, the even larger 54 airships carried the paratroopers to the sky.

"Start the parachute." Zhang Shaozeng gave an order, and the paratroopers who had already lined up at the hatch hooked the parachute rope with hooks, and jumped out one by one with open arms.The airship opened the hatch when it was 800 meters high, and white umbrella flowers appeared in the sky one after another. The Japanese people didn't know what happened, and the paratroopers had already started to land one after another.

"It's Hualan soldiers." Finally, Japanese military officers realized that these things that fell from the sky turned out to be human beings, and they were heavily armed enemies, and their expression changed immediately.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese state had all gathered on the playground to give lectures just now, and only a few people stood firm on the fort.After being bombed just now, the Japanese officers and soldiers fell into chaos for a while. They couldn't find their soldiers, and they couldn't find their soldiers.Now that they are suddenly attacked by the paratroopers, these Japanese people don't know where to gather except for instinctively returning to the barracks to get weapons.

The Japanese army did not have an organizational system, so it could not organize effective resistance. The paratrooper regiment immediately used companies as units to seize nearby forts.The cannons on the fort were all external, so it was very difficult to bombard the city, not to mention that the place where the paratroopers landed was not far from the fort, and it was difficult to use the cannons that couldn't get close.

Those Japanese soldiers who stood firm on the fort could only fight back with their rifles, hoping to stop the Hualan army from attacking.The snipers among the paratroopers immediately launched a counterattack, and those Japanese soldiers who were most active were killed first.The paratroopers with submachine guns swarmed up and quickly occupied many important forts.

When the No.19 division had been lurking outside the city for a long time, they saw red flags planted on many forts, and they immediately launched an attack.With the cooperation of the paratroopers, the No.19 Division quickly entered the city. Together with the paratroopers, they occupied various fortresses. It took only half a day to recapture the fortress group of Huangdao that the Japanese took two months to capture.

When the red flag was planted on Gushan, the Japanese Third Fleet, which was resting in Jiaozhou Bay, realized what had happened.Knowing that Huangdao had changed hands, the angry Third Fleet immediately fired at the fortress group. The artillerymen of the No.19 Infantry Division had already dispersed into various forts. When the Japanese warships started shelling, the forts immediately launched a counterattack.

The Japanese Third Fleet sounds like a large organization, but it is actually just a bluff, because the main battleships are deployed in the first and second fleets, and the third fleet only has some cruisers and destroyers.It is okay to let these warships serve as escort missions, but asking them to bombard coastal fortresses is tantamount to nonsense.

The bombardment of the Japanese Third Fleet only lasted half an hour, and three destroyers were sunk, while the solid fortresses of the Huangdao Fortress Group were able to completely withstand the attack of the cruiser guns.Seeing that the bombardment had no effect, the Third Fleet only needed to retreat to the open sea, and at the same time they sent power to East Morning City, hoping to provide reinforcements as soon as possible.

The Japanese army received the telegram and immediately called Uehara Yusaku to withdraw his troops. They knew very well that once Huangdao fell into the hands of the Hualan army, Uehara Yusaku's ammunition would lose supplies.When the ammunition runs out, the Japanese army will be in a desperate situation.Yusaku Uehara, who received the report, couldn't believe it. Huangdao, which he took so hard to capture, fell in just one day.Yusaku Uehara thought that the telegram was sent by mistake, and he was not sure that there was such a thing until he checked it three times.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Yusaku Uehara immediately ordered the [-]rd Brigade to come back for help. However, he was soon told that many rails on the Jiaoji Line were damaged. It will take half a month.Uehara scolded his mother bravely, and he immediately ordered the [-]rd Brigade to abandon heavy weapons, and the whole army went to Huangdao on foot.

When the Qilu Japanese army was cut off their way back, the battle in Guanghai City was about to be decided.After the first Japanese Fleet arrived, three Fuso-class battleships and a King Kong battlecruiser fought fiercely at Wusong Fort, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Although the thick steel hat fort on the Wusong Fort could not be broken in theory, it was only a theory after all. After countless shellings, it would be damaged to some extent.Facing the participation of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, dozens of large and small warships bombarded the forts day and night, and finally some of the forts could not withstand the heavy blow and were broken.

The 356mm main guns on the Fuso-class battleships and King Kong battlecruisers played a huge role. Although the Japanese navy consumed a lot, they achieved some results after all.After landing, the 32nd Brigade of the Japanese Army was also fighting fiercely with the Shu Army. Except for the reserve team left by the Shu Army on the two lines of defense, the strength of the other five regiments all pressed up, and the 32nd Brigade was fully compressed to the coast. side.

Relying on the cover of artillery fire from two cruisers and several destroyers, the Japanese army barely held the beachhead, but there was no fresh water on the beach, and the fierce battle for several days had exhausted their fresh water. Now the Japanese soldiers are dizzy with thirst, Smoke came out of his throat.

"The Japanese landing troops must be wiped out as soon as possible, and the illusions of the Japanese people must be completely extinguished, so that they know that there is no way out for an offensive in Guanghai City." Zhu Daizhen slammed his fist on the map table and said: "Zhou Jianping, you lead the team tonight , Is there any problem in attacking the Japanese army positions at night?"

"No problem, I will let them come and go." Zhou Jianping sneered.In the past few days, he has also played a real fire. Since he wants to complete his work tonight, he must make good arrangements.

As night fell, the Japanese fleet retreated to the open sea to rest and eat, and at the same time to replenish ammunition and coal, finally calm outside Wusongkou.At this time, Qi Xieyuan was also discussing with Du Xigui: "Commander Du, you can't continue fighting like this. Two fortresses collapsed today, and seven guns are useless. The range of the enemy's naval guns is farther than ours. If we don't move forward, it will be difficult for us to destroy the enemy."

In the past few days, the officers and soldiers of the fort fought selflessly, and the results achieved are not small. More than a dozen old-fashioned warships were sunk, but the Japanese people do not seem to plan to retreat. They are already determined to win Guanghai City.Du Xigui also carried out raids for several consecutive days and nights, but the Japanese were prepared. Apart from the loss of one destroyer and three torpedo boats, these few attacks had no fruitful results, so the navy had to suspend the attack.

Chapter 564 Annihilation and Landing of the Japanese Army

"How about using frogmen to mine mines at night?" Du Xigui said.Frogmen are a newly formed unit of the Shu army. All of them are good swimmers. In addition, they are newly equipped with a full set of rubber diving suits and scuba, allowing them to swim in sea water at a depth of 20 meters for more than half an hour. , greatly improving the concealment.

The frogman troops have been practicing all the time, and have never participated in actual combat, so Du Xigui didn't know what to say.

"Give it a try, as long as you can impeach and retreat the enemy, even if it delays for two days." Qi Xieyuan had no other good way, so he could only try.The frogman troops were quickly dispatched to lay mines in the shallow water area where the Japanese fleet has been cruising frequently these days.What they want to deploy is the anchor mine hidden under the water surface, so as to prevent the mine from being discovered in advance and give the Japanese people a surprise blow.

When the frogman troops dispatched mines, the two regiments led by Zhou Jianping were already lurking in the offensive position.At midnight, Zhou Jianping issued an order to attack. The Shu army did not fire artillery to suppress it, nor did they use searchlights to illuminate the way forward. They crawled forward carefully in the dark.

The fine sand on the beach brushed under the soldiers, making a slight rustling sound, which was quickly covered by the sound of the waves.In the position stationed on the beach, all the Japanese soldiers lay down and fell asleep.A few days of high-intensity combat, coupled with tense nerves at any time, beware of the opponent's dense shells, this kind of mental pressure is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.

In today's Japanese army, some people secretly commit suicide every day, and some people go crazy because of it.But the commander was not allowed to retreat, and these poor Japanese soldiers could only endure in silence, waiting for the navy's tight and slow fire cover, in fact, it was just better than nothing.

"What's that?" A Japanese soldier who got up at night suddenly found some shaking bright spots tens of meters ahead.It was the reflection of the moonlight on the helmet, such a faint light appeared very dazzling in the dark night sky.

"Nani Moroda (who)?" the Japanese soldiers opened their mouths in a Japanese language, but unfortunately no one from the Hualan soldiers on the opposite side could understand them.However, the tone of the other party's questioning is common all over the world. Seeing that they have been discovered, a soldier threw a grenade with his hands.

Although the soldier just threw the grenade in the direction of the sound, the landing point was naturally not prepared enough, but the Japanese soldier did not escape the explosion range.As the explosion sounded, the Japanese soldiers died immediately.

"Come on." A platoon leader at the scene ordered loudly, waving a Mauser pistol, and the soldiers jumped up and quickly jumped into the trenches of the Japanese army.The explosion alarmed the Japanese soldiers. They woke up from their sleep, picked up their rifles and fought against the rushing Shu army.

After several days of fighting, the officers and soldiers of the Shu army also became familiar with the weaknesses of the Japanese army. The squad leaders used submachine guns, and the officers used Mauser pistols.

"Hit the fuck." A soldier yelled angrily, throwing a hand grenade.Soon many people followed suit, and the grenades fell on the Japanese army's position one after another, blowing them upside down.

The light machine guns and grenade launchers behind also followed, and the dense explosions followed one after another, and the Japanese army suddenly fell into chaos.Several Japanese ships at sea already knew that their positions were being attacked, but unfortunately they couldn't see clearly in the dark, so they couldn't give their side any support.

Some Japanese soldiers also wanted to turn on the searchlights to illuminate the situation on the shore to indicate the direction of the main gun.But after being attacked by torpedo boats for several nights in a row, no one dared to turn on the searchlights casually now, because that would probably make the ship a target.For the sake of their own safety, the Japanese navy had no choice but to give up support to the army, praying in their hearts that they could support until dawn.

Without the interference of the navy, the Japanese army would be vulnerable. Zhou Jianping commanded the two main battalions to intersperse boldly, and quickly messed up the entire Japanese army's position.There are shouts of killing and gunshots everywhere, shouts of surrendering guns and the sound of bayonets piercing flesh. The entire Japanese army position has become a Shura hell.

By daylight, the Shu army's attacking troops had retreated to their starting positions, leaving only the beachheads soaked in blood and corpses all over the ground for the Japanese.The sailors on the destroyer looked at the beach with binoculars, and the horror they saw made them spit out their overnight meal.

At this time, the beach still exudes a strong smell of blood, and there is no living Japanese soldier to be found.Seeing that the landing force was completely wiped out, the destroyers of the Japanese Navy had no choice but to pull anchor and set sail immediately, moving closer to the main fleet.
