Chapter 888: Landing Fierce Battle II
readx; The medical soldier glanced at the first-class soldier: "Don't worry, you don't hurt the arteries and bones, take care of the wound yourself, and get infected with mud and seawater, it will be healed in a few days!" ā
He didn't stop, he trotted towards another wounded soldier with his small box, but he had barely taken two steps when he suddenly fell, and if you looked closely, there was blood on his body, and it was obvious that he had been shot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A private hurriedly ran over and pulled him to the back of the small sand pile, and carefully saw that the medic's abdomen was bleeding, but the medician was not unconscious, and immediately struggled and said, "Give me a morphine, and then bandage!" ā
Seeing the continuous casualties of his subordinate soldiers, He Minglun frowned, and then beckoned back: "Sergeant Chen, you take a few people to the left front, then the forward machine gun that says, 'My own forward machine gun has been served!'" ā
Sergeant Chen nodded, then called a few people behind him and trotted out.
While the landing force was fighting hard to establish a beachhead, on a landing ship in the rear, a lieutenant colonel of the Marine Corps withdrew the binoculars in his hand: "If you continue to fight like this, all three battalions will be wiped out!" Why hasn't the tank battalion been dispatched yet, is it possible that they will not attack until the landed infantry have been martyred? ā
The lieutenant colonel's face was angry, and he was already extremely angry in his heart when he saw the continuous casualties among his subordinates.
In fact, there is no need to say that on the other side, several tank landing ships are already at full power, and are landing under the cover of a large number of naval guns, although occasionally the fire of Ben hits them, but these tank landing ships are also made of steel, machine guns are ineffective against them, unless the artillery fire is naval guns. But the point is that they are not facing the enemy's fleet, but the enemy's army units, and the enemy army has at best some army artillery, and these guns are not very useful on the landing ships.
Soon, a tank landing ship is close to the beach, the bow hatch was opened, and then a T19 tank is directly driven out, directly into the sea T19 tank did not stop, but continued to advance, not long after climbing onto the beach, at this time the T19 tank turret shifted, and then the 75 mm tank gun above was violently fired, and a shell was carried on a distant position.
And behind it, more tanks are gradually coming out of the landing ship and climbing onto the beach!
At the same time, He Minglun was shouting loudly with a wireless phone: "You attack in the direction of two o'clock, and our department will provide cover for you,!" ā
He was contacting the tanks after the landing, and he was carrying out a suppressive strike at the machine-gun fire point called 'Ben!'
It has to be said that at this time, the short-range radio communication system widely equipped in the [***] team has played a very big role, due to the progress of domestic electronic technology, the weight and volume of communication equipment are getting smaller and smaller, and to this day, the Chinese Army has popularized the short-range radio communication system, that is, the walkie-talkie. This kind of walkie-talkie is used as a communication between ground troops, infantry units are widely used in squads, and tank units are basically equipped with every armored vehicle.
At this time, He Minglun was holding a large walkie-talkie to directly contact the tank troops after landing.
In a short time, several T19 tanks were speeding past at two o'clock, and while rushing back, they used the machine guns on the tanks to fire fiercely at the positions of the Japanese army!
When these tanks rushed up, He Minglun also led people to hurry up. The coordinated operation between the infantry and the tank means that while the tank provides fire support to the infantry, the infantry also has to provide cover for the tank to prevent the enemy infantry from launching an anti-tank battle.
A few minutes later, He Minglun led people to rush into the fortress trench of the Yue army with people behind the tank, and at this time the infantry on both sides had the opportunity to engage in hand-to-hand combat, submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles continued to pour bullets at the soldiers in the trench, and from time to time they also threw out a few grenades.
After a burst of gunsmoke, several of the soldiers around He Minglun fell, and the trenches in front of them were covered with soldiers who said.
"The first platoon expands the gap to the left, the second platoon consolidates the position to the right, and the third platoon follows me!" After He Minglun changed the magazine for his submachine gun, he immediately passed on the latest combat orders!
At this time, He Minglun's third company had already taken this section of the army position, and in a sense, a preliminary beachhead had been established, but he was definitely unwilling, and they would counterattack from all directions.
At this time, as the vanguard landing force left the beach and entered the defensive position of the Japanese army, the naval artillery support on the warship also extended the turrets to the rear of the Japanese army one after another to block the arrival of the reinforcements of the Japanese army. At the same time, the second wave of landing troops was nervously disembarking from the transport ships and boarding the landing craft, which were transported to the beach.
As more and more soldiers landed ashore, especially the divisional tank battalion of the Third Division, it already meant that the initial stage of the landing operation had been successful.
"Now that the two battalions of the 7th Regiment have landed ashore, the tank battalion has also gone up, and the next 8th and 9th regiments should also be ready to go ashore!" Rear Admiral Gan Yongqing, commander of the 3rd Marine Division, said so.
When the troops of the 3rd Marine Division landed one after another, the 7th Regiment, as an assault force, did not attack in depth quickly, but defended on the spot after establishing a beachhead, mainly because they could not go too deep, otherwise they would lose the support of naval artillery fire, and on the other hand, they did not carry any heavy preparations when they landed, and there were not even a few artillery pieces, and the whole regiment only landed with light equipment, and the only fire support was those mortars. However, dozens of tanks have also come ashore to provide them with fire support.
However, this situation will not last long, just an hour later, He Minglun received an order to attack forward, so He Minglun took the remaining 100 people of the third company to attack forward
In a landing operation just now, the third company, which was the first to launch the landing, was also counterattacked by the fiercest firepower of the Japanese army, and nearly half of the 180 people of the whole company were killed or wounded, more than 30 people were killed on the spot, and more than 50 people were seriously injured and could not continue to fight with the troops.
"Now the enemy fire on the beach is too fierce, their artillery must be expelled!" Gan Yongqing said: "How did those people who support the fleet do it, so many naval guns can't even defeat the enemy's army artillery units!" ā
"The position of the artillery battalion, which is mainly the enemy, is a little off, and the ballistics of our naval ships cannot be targeted! However, the carrier-based aircraft of the escort fleet have already been dispatched, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to launch air strikes against them! The chief of staff beside him said.
Gan Yongqing said: "You can't wait, although the enemy has artillery counterattack, but the landing plan cannot be postponed, immediately send an order, let the division's engineering battalion immediately go ashore to set up a temporary wharf, and then take the machinery of the Eighth Engineering Regiment of Reading Force ashore!" ā
In a landing operation, although the initial beachhead attack is the most tragic part, it is not the most difficult part, and as long as the beachhead attack has sufficient fire support and troops in the rear, it will not be a big problem to take it down. However, except for the tank battalion, the landing force that came ashore could only carry light weapons, and they could not be supplied with ammunition and materials, so they would be weaker and weaker.
At this time, the most difficult thing is how to quickly transport a lot of heavy equipment and supplies ashore!
Since it was a beach landing, it was naturally impossible to have any docks to use, and it was impossible for transport ships transporting heavy equipment and supplies to rush directly to the beach to unload, they had to have docks to assist.
In order to solve this problem, the 3rd Marine Division cooperated with the 8th Army Reading Engineering Regiment, and this Reading Engineering Regiment is a professional engineering unit that erects a large temporary wharf, and its machinery can quickly build a temporary wharf on the beach for the unloading of transport ships.
However, although this reading engineering regiment has the ability to erect temporary large docks, it is also inseparable from a large number of machinery, although these equipment are specially modified, and the requirements for the docks are not high, but there is no way to rush directly to them like those T19 tanks, and they must also rely on some small temporary docks to be able to go ashore, and the erection of this temporary dock can only rely on the third division's own engineer battalion to solve.
Basically, this is a one-ring operation, first infantry and tanks directly rush to the beach, and after establishing a stable beachhead, the divisional engineer battalion lands and sets up a temporary small wharf, and then this temporary small wharf immediately unloads a large number of machinery of the Reading Engineering Corps, and uses these machinery to build a large temporary wharf.
This large temporary dock is capable of mooring and unloading large quantities of supplies and heavy equipment!
At the same time, a large number of landing craft were still being transported back and forth, and the remaining large number of infantry and vehicles were transported ashore, and almost thousands of people were crowded on this small beach at once, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
The chaos on the beach in the rear was no longer a matter for He Minglun, and at this time he had been ordered to attack an air defense position of the Japanese army.
According to the order he received, there were a lot of anti-aircraft guns in that anti-aircraft position, and these anti-aircraft guns caused a lot of trouble to the planes that were providing air support, and now his task was to eliminate this anti-aircraft gun position!
At the foot of a small hill, He Minglun looked halfway up the mountain, where anti-aircraft shells were constantly being sprayed in an attempt to shoot down the Chinese plane in the air.
"Let's go!" He Minglun did not waste time, although his troops had already gone through three hours of continuous combat at this time, with serious attrition and serious physical exertion of soldiers, but at this time they did not have any time to rest!
"Head, the battalion headquarters has sent a batch of bullets, there are five boxes!" At this time, a sergeant walked up to He Minglun and said with a happy face.
He Minglun also flashed with joy when he heard this, this ammunition was finally delivered!
After a long period of fierce fighting, the ammunition of the third company has been slightly insufficient, if the fight continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before the bullet is used, just before the departure he had already asked the battalion headquarters for ammunition support, and now it is finally delivered.
He didn't know that the battalion headquarters had spent a lot of effort to get these ammunition for him, because now the landing troops only carried the ammunition for the landing, and the special logistics supplies in the rear were still on the ship, so the battalion headquarters squeezed out these boxes of bullets in order to replenish the ammunition for the third company!
