Chapter 930: Tangjin Landing One
readx; On the one hand, China wants to support a large number of servant forces, but on the other hand, it does not want North Korea and Thailand to have strong military forces, so the policy adopted over the years is to increase the equipment level of these troops as much as possible and reduce the number of their troops, that is, to adopt a lean military policy. On the one hand, it can improve the combat effectiveness of the army of the client state, and on the other hand, it can also effectively control their total number of troops, and more importantly, they lack an industrial base, and the troops are equipped with a large number www.biquge.info of advanced weapons after almost all the equipment and logistics supplies have to rely on China to provide, so that China can control their army from the source, as long as China supplies them with supplies, these troops equipped with a large number of advanced weapons are just a pile of scrap metal, and they can't even produce bullets for 1937 semi-automatic rifles in large quantities, which is even more unable to replenish the large consumption of wartime.
Although they are equipped with tanks and aircraft, they do not even have the ability to repair and refine aviation gasoline.
To a certain extent, the more advanced their weapons and equipment are, the more they will not be able to get out of China's control, because once China does not provide them with logistical materials, they will not even have gasoline, let alone high-grade aviation gasoline.
After inspecting and inspecting many troops, Chen Jingyun did not stay in the DPRK for too long, and soon returned south by special train. When he returned to Nanjing, the plan was also going on in an orderly manner.
A large number of the Third Army's ground forces, including the Navy's three Marine Divisions, were already in preparation for Korea, with a large number of Navy warships in the East China Sea and a large number of aircraft in control of the Tsushima Strait, and countless transports and landing ships in many ports.
On the evening of 9 November, numerous transport ships loaded with many personnel and weapons of the three Marine Divisions of the Navy crossed the Tsushima Strait under the cover of the Chinese Navy and Air Force, and in the early morning of the following morning, the Second Marine Division of the Navy began to land on Kyushu Island under the cover of up to 100 warships, including four battleships, and almost more than 2,000 fighters of all kinds.
The landing of the Second Marine Division was also a large-scale landing operation!
In this landing on Tsushima, China did not take the lead in landing on Tsushima Island, an extremely important island, because the location of Tsushima is very important, and it has almost been built into a military fortress by the Chinese army during the confrontation between China and China for more than 10 years, and it is much more difficult to conquer Tsushima than to conquer Ryukyu Island, and because China controls air and sea supremacy, the State Military Commission has decided to bypass this island, and as for the nearly 50,000 or 60,000 Chinese troops above, let them stay, without the support of the air force and navy. Their role is infinitely equal to zero.
He said, "Obviously, I also know this, so I simply did not deploy too many troops on Tsushima, only 50,000 or 60,000 people, but only these 50,000 or 60,000 people, if China wants to seize Tsushima Island as an advance base, then it is impossible to conquer it without spending a huge price."
He said, "The center of gravity of my defense is on the island of Kyushu and the western part of the island of Honshu.
Moreover, since the sea and air power was almost lost, he said, "I adopted the strategy of Ushijima Man, only to carry out symbolic resistance on the beachhead, so as to avoid being killed by China's intensive naval and air fire on the beachhead, but in the inland areas, a large area of solid defense was established, and in addition to a large number of regular troops, a large number of militia troops were also urgently conscripted."
Before the Chinese landing, they had already claimed that there were at least 10 million troops on the ground that could be used against any invading force, and that there were many more troops being formed, and that they would come to a national defense and arm every one of them.
A large number of people have been issued with many old-fashioned weapons, and due to the serious shortage of weapons, they have even equipped the militia with primitive weapons such as bamboo guns and bamboo knives, which are not even cold weapons.
'I shouted that I would resist the aggression of the Chinese even at the expense of all the jade pieces!'
In addition to arming a large number of Pingming, they also carried out a frenzied anti-landing, and they collected any flyable aircraft, whether it was fighters, bombers, or trainers, and filled them with bombs and turned into kamikaze attack planes, and launched intensive suicide attacks to attack China's sea-crossing landing forces.
His madness was perfectly manifested at this time, and during the Chinese landing phase on Kyushu Island, Ben's navy and air force concentrated their last remaining 4,000 or so planes to carry out kamikaze operations in one go!
When these planes carried out suicide aircraft, they also became human missiles, which caused serious casualties to the Chinese sea-crossing landing force.
The battleship Shundi was hit by three suicide planes in a row that day, although it did not cause any fatal trauma to the Shundi, but the explosion still caused a large number of casualties to the Shundi!
The aircraft carrier Tien Shan, which had not received any damage since its participation in the war, was also hit by a suicide plane, causing a large hole in the deck to be blown out, more than 20 planes were destroyed, and dozens of people were killed or wounded.
Plus, one more destroyer was unlucky enough to be sunk!
In the skies over the northern part of Kyushu Island, there are almost countless planes flying densely, including suicide planes that have been pounced on by myself, and more are Chinese air defense fighters, including carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, a large number of F5E and F4H fighters of the Air Force, and F12A fighters that have just entered service. In addition to the interception of these fighters, the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the warships of the landing fleet fired anti-aircraft ammunition for any large-scale naval battle.
In this air defense war, a large number of anti-aircraft guns equipped with fire control radars played a tremendous role, and the 75-millimeter anti-aircraft guns equipped with twin units and the 40-millimeter anti-aircraft guns with four units became the mainstay of air defense, and a large number of results were achieved in shooting down.
In the sky, almost every moment there was a saying that "this plane was shot down, because the landing airspace was so chaotic at that time, and there was also an incident of the navy's anti-aircraft guns shooting down their own fighters."
Although he resisted desperately, and even launched an unprecedented suicide attack, he still could not stop the landing of the Chinese sea-crossing troops!
At noon, in the chaotic scene of rumbling artillery, the 2nd Marine Division took the lead in completing the landing, and after establishing a stable beachhead, a large number of follow-up troops also began to land, countless landing ships directly rushed to the beach, and a large number of T19 amphibious tanks climbed onto the beach from the tank landing ships across the sea, and then went into battle in a chaotic situation.
By the next day, the Chinese landing force had already brought ashore three marine divisions and a special tank regiment of the Third Army. At the same time, the work of erecting temporary large-scale wharves is also being carried out more intensively, because only when the large-scale wharves are successfully erected, the heavy troops of the Third Army will be able to land, such as the heavy troops of the First Armored Army, they do not have the combat ability to directly rush to the beach, and they have to rely on transport ships to transport a large number of heavy equipment to the shore after they are transported to the destination, and rely on a large number of cranes and other equipment to transport a large amount of heavy equipment ashore.
And when the troops of the Third Army were carrying out a difficult transport landing division, the three marine divisions that landed in the early stage were also challenged like never before!
Almost as soon as they landed on the shore, they were met with a fierce counterattack by the army!
In fact, there are not many beachheads suitable for large-scale landings on Kyushu Island, and there are only a few places in total, and he himself knows better than China, so a large number of troops have been deployed in these areas to carry out anti-landing operations, and because he said, "Ben did not invest the main force to carry out anti-beachhead operations at the first time, but focused on operations after landing, so he said, "The troops on Kyushu Island did not suffer losses during the landing stage, but maintained their valuable combat effectiveness, and when China's three marine divisions landed and extended forward, they were attacked." Ben's fiercest counterattack.
As many as five or six divisions and regiments, with more than 100,000 troops, the army was immediately engaged in counterattack operations, and after determining the direction of China's landing, it was said that "Ben quickly dispatched other troops on Kyushu Island to reinforce it!"
This battle of disparity in strength! Before the main force of the Third Army successfully landed ashore, it could only rely on three marine divisions to resist more than 100,000 or even more troops!
The first stage of the 'Rakusai Plan' was to land and capture Kyushu Island as an important purpose, and the first stage was to land in the northern Karatsu area in the northern part of Kyushu Island, and the landing was carried out at the same time from the three beachheads of Genji Beach and Genkai Beach, and one beach was in charge of a marine division. And the width of the entire frontal landing added up to about ten kilometers.
Since this piece of beach is located in the northern part of Karatsu, the name of this landing operation is uniformly named Karatsu Landing.
According to the initial landing plan, after the landing of the three marine divisions of the Navy, the beachhead will be established as soon as possible, and then advance and cover the unloading of a large number of heavy equipment in the landing fleet and assume a temporary dock, the important surname of this temporary dock is self-evident, because only this temporary dock is assumed, and a large number of heavy equipment of the landing force can be unloaded, including those artillery, tanks, various types of armored vehicles, etc., after all, in China's ground forces, With the exception of the Marine Corps and a few amphibious divisions unique to the Army, the other units were not equipped to swim directly from the landing ship across the sea and climb onto the beach. According to the plan, it is necessary to unload at least 1,000 tons of various supplies on the first day, which may not include personnel and weapons and equipment, but only logistics supplies, such as food, ammunition, oil, etc., and at least 5,000 tons of various logistics supplies must be unloaded on the second day.
Although the local side had already decided to adopt Ushijima Man's defensive strategy and put the focus of defense on the post-landing rather than the beachhead to block the attack, this piece of beachhead was caused great trouble by the landing force because of the large number of anti-landing facilities set up by the Japanese army, such as obstacles in the water and a strong fortress with permanent surnames.
