The first target plane, the ongoing World War II situation in 1944, is absolutely confusing and confusing.
Different from the main plane, Germany and the Japanese "Axis Powers" have shifted to strategic defense and combat disadvantages this year. In the first target plane, Germany's Eastern Front Soviet battlefield has not yet fallen into major danger, but its offensive momentum is insufficient.
On the Western Front, the Normandy landing jointly launched by the Stars and Stripes and the British had a hasty start. After some success, the training in Hitler's hands was completed. The well-equipped 1 million strategic reserve troops attacked head-on and severely compressed it.
In the small area near Normandy, the Allied forces were more than able to defend and insufficient to attack. But from another perspective, in any case, Germany's most taboo two-front battle has begun again. Germany will repeat the results of World War I and be defeated again.
Few European neutrals appeared in their eyes.
However, not long after the Normandy landings began, Germany's allies, the Japanese pirates, shocked the whole country and carried out a "thousand-mile" assault - the Brazilian landing campaign, which devastated the most important cities along the coast of Brazil.
And the signs are approaching the Star-Spangled Banner and the Atlantic Transportation Line. In the eyes of uninformed laymen, isn't this the second "Normandy Landing"!
But if you want to say that the Japanese pirates are powerful, their homeland cannot bear the endless bombing by the Stars and Stripes and the Yanhuang Combined Air Force, so they decided to implement a strategic shift. The combined fleet marched southward and successively captured Pearl Harbor, Australia and New Zealand, and transferred the main force of its army and society
The essence of the Japanese pirates has been transferred from their homeland to the wider oceans of Oceania. From the perspective of the scope of influence, not only has it not been weakened, but it has been strengthened. This makes many weak countries continue to hesitate about taking sides. They cannot see the dawn of the end of World War II, so they have to pretend
Silly, don't offend both sides and implement an open-door "neutrality" policy.
Yanhuang East China Sea, the waters at the northern entrance of the Taiwan Strait.
Navy Commander-in-Chief Xiao Jinguang is sitting on the "Shanghai" aircraft carrier, commanding the Taiwan landing campaign. Different from the East China Sea Fleet landing on Okinawa, Ryukyu is fundamentally just a vassal state of the Yan and Huang ancients, and it only becomes a vassal every year. But Taiwan is
A part of Yanhuang in ancient times was only ceded as compensation for the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War. Its return has a different historical impact than Okinawa.
Taipei, near the mouth of Tamsui River.
Hundreds of medium-sized landing ships here have opened the water hatches on the bows. One after another, the 63a amphibious tanks equipped by the Yanhuang and Red Party slowly rushed out of the landing ships against the backdrop of the light blue water. They moved firmly and powerfully.
Rushing towards the beachhead at the mouth of Tamsui River. At this time, the commander of the 63a turret stretched out his upper body. According to the soldier's drill and training manual, his face was solemn and serious to help the driver grasp the direction of travel, and to observe whether there was any enemy attack at any time. Around the 63a tank
, are hundreds of (Yanhuang imitation) Stars and Stripes L**-class medium-sized landing craft equipped with medium-sized infantry fighting vehicles (their own displacement is 743 tons, load capacity is 165 tons, about the weight of 5 medium tanks or 3 heavy tanks), of course
In addition to these big guys, there are also many high-speed assault boats carrying 10 Marines. They can be said to be the most efficient and fastest landing force on the beachhead without enemy firepower or blocking positions.
"Three companies gather together!"
"Assemble the 2nd Tank Battalion!"
"Tank troops, set off!"
"Hey, you armored personnel carriers, follow up quickly, quickly, quickly!"
"Pay attention to the formation and form a covering formation!"
When the main landing force came ashore, they did not dare to neglect or delay the fighter plane. After a while, they formed the team and immediately drove deep to the beach. The black smoke billowing from hundreds of armored vehicles of various types and the roar of the engines made the commanders and soldiers have no choice but to shout loudly.
Only in this way can the information be conveyed. Since this was the first super-large-scale landing battle, mistakes and mistakes were inevitable. A large number of members of the landing force lost contact with their unit commanders because they pursued landing speed too much and had to stop and standby.
Or go ahead of other troops and wait in the open area before looking for your superiors.
Baodao, Taipei City.
At this time, the place was ablaze, and a large number of anti-aircraft shells were fired from the muzzles of various solid fortifications to attack the Yanhuang bomber formations that kept appearing in the sky. In order to support the main force coming ashore, find something to do for the Taipei and Tainan Japanese pirate garrison to prevent them
"Uncomfortable with idle time", the Yanhuang Air Force's bomber force, with 0 bombers as a batch, carried out the attack according to the distribution method of 3 batches in Taipei and 2 batches in Tainan. They carried a large number of 250 kilograms
and 500 kilograms of aerial bombs, bombing Japanese pirate positions full of bunker fortifications from high altitudes. In order to achieve the maximum bombing effect, a large proportion of napalm bombs were used in the bombing. The entire Taipei City was roasted by flames.
middle.
The underground air-raid shelter of Taipei Library is the latest address of the Japanese pirate Taiwan Army combat headquarters. The commander of the Japanese pirate Taiwan Army, Ando Rikichi, is here to listen to the battle situation and issue instructions.
"Your Excellency Ando, the Yanhuang Red Party's bombing intensity is very high. They used a large number of 500 kilogram aerial bombs and a type of incendiary bombs that are extremely difficult to extinguish. This caused certain losses to the various defense fortifications we built in Taipei. Some of them did not have reinforced concrete.
The protected buildings collapsed, and fires broke out everywhere, causing burns or scalding to many soldiers," Chief of Staff Haruki Isayama reported.
"After sending the enemy attack telegram to the base camp, did you receive a reply?" Regarding Isayama Haruki's report, Taiwan Army Commander Toshiyoshi Ando did not comment, but asked another question.
"Hi! I have received a call back with the message 'Long live Yamato and may the military fortunes last forever!'"
"That's good. I believe the combined fleet is already on its way out at this time. Just wait, the Yamato nation will make the world tremble again." Ando Rikichi glanced at the map of the Indian Ocean with a regretful expression. He must not be able to see it.
That's the day.
"Hi! Long live the Empire!"
"Also, haven't the Yanhuang landing troops been discovered in Tainan yet?"
"The latest news reported from various reconnaissance points is that no large number of enemy ships have been found in Tainan, only the same bomber attack formation."
"It seems that the Red Party was forced to support a landing in one sea area due to insufficient naval forces." Due to the severe lack of intelligence, Ando Rikichi did not know the true strength of the Yanhuang Red Party at all, so he could only follow his own guesses. About 3 minutes
Finally, he ordered: "Order all troops to counterattack resolutely and don't be stingy with artillery shells. Our reserves are enough to allow us to defend with high intensity for three months. Counterattack, counterattack, and counterattack again!"
"Hi!"
For a time, the orange-red barrage over Taipei gradually became denser. For their own safety and to reduce unnecessary losses, the Red Party bomber force decided to increase the bombing altitude, which naturally led to a decrease in bombing accuracy. However, Taipei City is so big, so why not?
Fall on the enemy's head.
"The attack doesn't seem to be going well." In the aircraft, Wang Fan saw through the screen that the landing troops had to slow down due to bombardment by heavy artillery hidden in the mountains by Japanese pirates, and the bombers were flying randomly.
When the anti-aircraft shells had to increase their flight altitude, he said to himself.
"Are you going to intervene?" Yadi asked. When encountering this kind of situation earlier, Wang Fan would always clear the way for the Yanhuang and Red Party by teleporting bombs and raining down dumplings.
"Wait a minute. Firstly, these obstacles only reduce the Red Party's attack speed and do not cause huge losses. Secondly, they will have to face this situation sooner or later. They have also practiced how to deal with it during training. Let them try it.
I can't always be there when needed."
"Okay, it's up to you."
In fact, regardless of whether Wang Fan intervened in the end, under the coordinated operations of the Yanhuang army, navy and air force, and under the attack of a large number of modern weapons including cloud bombs, Taipei City's so-called iron-walled defense was more of a joke. Taipei City
The fall will only be a matter of time, maybe 5 days, maybe 7 days, that's all.
In Southeast Asia, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia on the main plane), the main force of the combined fleet is assembled here and is on standby.
At the Combined Fleet Headquarters, Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the ports of Ceylon and Bombay on the map and pondered. Through the large bright glass windows of the headquarters, one could see the huge main force of the Combined Fleet moored in the port.
Since the Japanese pirates renamed their standing fleet the Combined Fleet in 1903, their strength has been growing. At the beginning of the Pacific War, the Japanese pirates combined fleet had more than 230 main combat ships, including 10 aircraft carriers, 10 battleships, and 38 cruisers.
With 112 destroyers, 65 submarines, and more than 1,000 aircraft, it is one of the largest combat fleets in the world.
After three years of fierce fighting, many ships of the Combined Fleet have sunk into the sea forever, and subsequent ships cannot be supplied. This is what worried Yamamoto Isoroku the most before the war began. The seemingly powerful Combined Fleet has actually been "saving money" for 30 years.
As a result, once it was consumed by the Stars and Stripes, it immediately returned to its original shape. However, with the emergence of the pseudo-Emperor Meiji, the ship supply problem was finally solved. At present, the main force of the combined fleet still has 4 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, and 1 cruiser.
There are 165 destroyers, 52 submarines, and 412 aircraft. Although it is far behind the peak, the pseudo-Meiji Emperor promised that a new batch of aircraft carriers will arrive soon (at the same speed as the launch of the Stars and Stripes aircraft carrier), plus the upcoming
At the beginning of the Indian campaign, Britain's so-called powerful fleet there was only externally strong but moderately capable. There were no modern aircraft carriers, and the battleships were old models from more than ten years ago, not to mention cruisers and destroyers. Therefore, Yamamoto Isoroku's mood is not bad at the moment.
"Your Excellency Yamamoto!" Combined Fleet Chief of Staff Fukuru Shige quickly ran into the room, "Telegram from base camp."
"Is it finally here?" Yamamoto received the telegram, read it carefully, and ordered: "Order, the entire combined fleet is ready to set sail!"
Chapter completed!
