1493 Rocky Beach

Lin Yuan thought of these and picked up a piece of cake from the box, only to see that the surface of the cake was white and tender, and it was made into the shape of petals by Shen Wanqing, Lin Yuan took a bite lightly, only to feel that his mouth was full of aroma, and then directly stuffed the whole cake into his mouth, and thought in his heart while chewing: "This plan is uniform but successful, I have delicious cakes to eat, but the little devil can only bite stones." ”

Lin Yuan ate two more pieces, picked up the phone and contacted Shen Xin, the commander of the 1st Division stationed in Vladivostok, Lin Yuan asked, "How are your landing preparations?" ”

Shen Xin said: "Our fleet has been reconnoitring outside Qingjin Port in the past few days, and has obtained a lot of information, first of all: Qingjin Port is affected by the warm current of Japan, it is an ice-free port, although it is the middle of winter, the sea water around the port is still not frozen, and it can be landed. ”

"Secondly, we found that the waterway of the port is very narrow, and the defense is tight, it is not suitable for direct attack, and we can only land on the beach near the port, we found according to the aerial pictures: there are three beaches that are most suitable for landing, from north to south, we have numbered No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 beaches, but these three beaches are heavily defended by the Japanese army, and many fortifications have been built on the shore."

"Judging from the news sent back by the port agents, these fortifications are made of the latest Japanese concrete pouring, and there are reinforcements inside, our 203 mm grenades cannot be effectively destroyed if they cannot directly hit the fortress, the Japanese army also built a large number of anti-tank triangular cones, anti-infantry barbed wire, and anti-tank firing points on the beachhead, in short, the Japanese army is fortified layer by layer, and in public reports, it is said that the Kiyojin position is an impregnable fortress of the Great Japanese Empire, The countries of the world have also touted the Qingjin defense line as a model of anti-landing operations! ”

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he said, "Have you found the position of the Japanese long-range artillery?" ”

Shen Xin said: "With the experience of Hamgyong Mountain, the Japanese army arranged artillery positions in several high ground on the back side of the beach, also in a cave, and there was also a cover gate at the entrance of the cave. However, in the upcoming anti-landing operation, the Japanese army did not rely on these long-range heavy artillery! ”

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "Long-range heavy artillery is the most lethal weapon of the Japanese army, if they don't rely on them, what else can they rely on?" ”

Shen Xin said: "According to our agents, the Japanese army has recently developed something called a recoilless gun, the tail of this kind of gun is open, so the gas produced by the propellant can be sprayed out from behind, and it will not have too much recoil on the artillery, and there is no need to install a heavy brake and retreat machine, so the gun can be made very light and easy to maneuver." ”

"And the caliber of this gun is larger than that of the bazooka, and the range is relatively long, the Japanese army has eaten up the bazooka in previous battles, and the firing range is very short, and the shooter was killed by us before the cannon is fired, so it came up with such a long-range anti-tank weapon."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Although the recoilless gun has the advantage of convenient maneuvering, it also has the disadvantages of slow shell speed and insufficient accuracy, especially when the recoilless gun is fired, the tail will spew out a lot of smoke and emit dazzling fire, which is simply telling the opponent: I'm here, you hurry up and hit me!" ”

"Most of the attack distance of recoilless guns is within the visual range, that is, about a thousand meters, such a combat distance is precisely the killing distance of the tank main gun and heavy machine gun, so the recoilless gun firing group is easy to be killed by the tank main gun or machine gun once it is discovered, so its shortcomings of poor concealment are fatal, in my time, recoilless guns have gradually withdrawn from the stage of war."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said: "There is no need to worry about recoilless artillery, you should be more prepared for the Japanese army's long-range heavy artillery." ”

Shen Xin said: "It's good, Lin Shuai." Then he asked, "Lin Shuai, are we about to carry out a landing operation against the Japanese army?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, your first division will be the main force in this battle!" Have you investigated the Japanese defenders in Kiyojin? ”

Shen Xin said: "It has long been investigated clearly, the defenders of the Japanese army are the Seventh Division and the Eighth Division, these two divisions were newly formed after the First Sino-Japanese War, and the combat quality is relatively high, the commander of the Seventh Division is named Mizuda Mingyuan, and the commander of the Eighth Division is named Aso Anhito, both of whom are top students of the Japanese Army University, and they were both wing commanders during the Northeast War. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, then have you done a good job of the action plan for the landing operation?" ”

Shen Xin said: "We have drawn up a plan, we call the date of the start of the operation 'Jia Day', the specific time has not yet been determined, we have decided: Jia Day: Mine demolition group clears the Japanese mines near the shore; Jia Jia Day, the fire support group attacks the artillery heights and beachhead fortresses behind the Japanese position; Jia Jia 2 Day, frogmen go ashore and dismantle the anti-tank triangular cone......

When Lin Yuan heard this, he suddenly said, "Please wait a minute." ”

Shen Xin asked, "Lin Shuai, is there something wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan said, "What do I usually say to you? We are a knife, the enemy is a piece of meat with bones, we have to cut off the enemy's flesh, we can't cut the enemy's bones, if we cut the enemy's bones, not only can we not cut the meat, but also hurt the blade, your battle plan is completely in a hard confrontation with the Japanese army's defense system, that is, you are using the blade to hit the enemy's bones! ”

Shen Xin hurriedly said: "Lin Shuai, but if that's not the case, then how to land?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Look at the place three kilometers south of the No. 3 landing site, there is a beach called 'Rocky Beach'. ”

Shen Xin said: "That's right, there is indeed such a beach, that beach we have also reconnoitred, the terrain is flat, the ground is solid, especially suitable for our armored forces to develop mobility and firepower, but the rocky beach is just like its name says: starting from the coast, all the way to the coast more than ten kilometers away from the coast, the water surface is full of chaotic reefs. ”

"It's okay at low tide, all the rocks are exposed on the water, and when the tide is dangerous, the sea water submerges all the rocks under the water, and people who don't know the bottom of the road will think that this is a quiet sea, but as long as the boat passes, it will hit the reef and sink, at the beginning we didn't know the situation, and when we saw that there were no defenders on the beach, we wanted to send a ship to reconnoitre, but before the ship got close to the shore, it hit the reef and sank, and lost a reconnaissance ship in vain."

Lin Yuan said: "If we land there, will it be of great benefit to us?" ”

Shen Xin smiled: "Of course it's big!" It would be best if we could land there, the entire defensive position of the Japanese beachhead would be completely bypassed by us, and we could attack either Cheongjin or the beachhead from behind the Japanese army, in short, we could fight as much as we wanted! But we know that it is impossible! We can't get through that rocky beach! ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What if I tell you that I have a way to break through the rocky beach?" ”

Shen Xin hurriedly asked, "Lin Shuai, do you have that way?" I'll have to make it clear, even the most maneuverable boat is useless, because there are so many reefs! ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, my method is not afraid of reefs!" ”
