Shadow Spy

Chapter 482: Take the first step when doing things

On June 6, when the Joint Chiefs of Staff was discussing the U.S. military's next operational plan in Asia, after modifications to Li Junhao's telegram, the Far East General Command implemented the Qiongdao operational plan.

At this time, basically all the Japanese troops stationed on Qiongdao were members of the navy. Its highest command organization was the Hainan Garrison of the Chinese fleet, which had jurisdiction over the 4th Special Marine Corps of Yokosuka Garrison, the 1st Special Marine Corps of Maizuru Garrison, The total number of regular troops including the 8th Special Marine Corps, the 15th Guards, and the 16th Guards of the Sasebo Town Prefecture is only about 1. There are also 5000 Japanese police officers, 8000 expatriates, employees of Japanese companies, There are 1.7 family members, military dependents, and Korean laborers, and the total combat personnel is only about 2.

According to Li Junhao's request, in this battle, in addition to the First Army and the Second Army landing in Haikou and Sanya, the subsequent landing troops were mainly the 121st Group Army.

And in accordance with his instructions, Commander Peng Xuefeng informed Northern Shaanxi before the operation started, and then sent people to sneak to the island in advance, and handed over two high-power radio stations to the Qiongya column that persisted in fighting on the island, and obtained internal support. .

The Battle of Qiongdao basically ended in two days. The style of the Japanese navy was completely different from that of the army. After only 121% of the battle was damaged, the entire army surrendered. It took more than ten days to follow. Basically, the st Group Army was in Qiongya. Under the leadership of the column, they rushed around to eliminate traitors and take over territory. Because of the vast area, the navy and land forces sent seven special operations brigades ashore to help.

During this process, other US military units, except for the logistics troops transporting supplies, did not go ashore - this was Li Junhao's order. With the approval of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he wanted to hand over Qiongdao to the underground party as a special gift!

Of course, under this situation, Chairman Chiang in Chongqing was furious again, but without the support of naval power, he could not change anything at all! ——

Subsequently, the Far East General Command was ordered to formulate an operational plan to attack Northeast China. Admiral Nimitz of the Pacific Fleet received an order from Washington to dispatch naval forces other than the 5th and 7th Fleets to begin blockading Japan's coast and cutting off its return. Possibility of being close to the Chinese coast.

On June 6, Li Junhao returned to the Far East, moved his headquarters from the Philippines to Taipei on the Bay Island, and prepared to attack the Kwantung Army - he knew that Japan would surrender in less than two months, and he could accept the surrender directly. But what he was thinking was: kill more little Japs before that, seize the Northeast, and deny the Soviet army entry into China! Therefore, although the plan was a bit hasty, he still ordered to push it forward with all his strength.

At the same time, he also contacted Northern Shaanxi and asked it to prepare cadres and troops to prepare for departure and reception.

The biggest advantage for Li Junhao now is that the top leaders in the United States have accepted his views and are ready to abandon the Kuomintang and support the underground party in power. He can act boldly.

Historically, the Dulles brothers who often jumped out to cause trouble at this time had been completely subdued by him. At this time, they were his die-hard subordinates in the Senate and the CIA, and were also responsible for monitoring and dealing with other anti-communist elements! The two brothers joined forces and were quite powerful. They had already dealt with at least five congressmen and thirty unsettled elements! ——

On June 6, the U.S. 24th Fleet began to attack Lushun and Dalian respectively. After powerful sea and air strikes, the Second Army and the Fourth Army landed at the two places respectively. It only took 5 hours to control these two places. Important seaports, and began to advance in depth; then, the 48th Airborne Army, composed of three airborne divisions, landed ashore, took control of the two seaports, and began to prepare for the next combat operation.

Then, the 7th Fleet, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed into the Far East Bay and attacked Huludao and Yingkou. The First Army landed at Yingkou Port, followed by the 10th Group Army, and then immediately moved forward to attack Anshan and Liaoyang... After , consisting of the 14th Group Army composed of the US troops in the Far East, the 16th Group Army composed of the Indo-Burmese theater troops, and the 17th Group Army composed of the US troops who withdrew after handing over the Malay Peninsula and Singapore to the British army, with a total of 22 divisions and 45 troops. Troops came ashore one after another and took on the main offensive responsibilities.

此时的日本关东军辖第1、第3、第17共三个方面军和独立第4军，拥有31个师团、13个旅团约97万兵员，火炮5000余门、坦克160辆、飞机1800架，另有伪满和伪蒙军约20万人。

但日军布署的主要防御方向是苏联，其第1方面军的10个师团24万人主要担负东北东部方向的防御；第3方面军的9个师团约20万人是机动部队，配置在长春、沈阳地区，而以一个师团担任东北西部方向的边境防御；独立第4军的3个师团约10万人，担任北部和西北部的防御；第17方面军的9个约21万人是战役预备队，配置在朝鲜境内。

The top-heavy configuration of the Japanese army almost completely ignored the defense of the southern region. The sudden landing of the US military suddenly stunned them! Not counting the 17th Front Army in Korea at this time, the Japanese army had 22 divisions and 7 mixed brigades in Northeast China. However, the weapons, equipment and quality of the soldiers of these 70 Japanese troops were not even comparable to the 20 soldiers of the ten divisions three years ago. No strength at all, or even worse!

How could the Japanese army in this situation be able to defeat the 45 fully armed mechanized US troops?

The 10th Group Army, which made a sudden attack to the north, had been frustrated in the Battle of Ryukyu and had to rely on land and sea troops to rescue and finish the battle. Now it encountered the inferior Japanese army and went crazy...

On the 25th, the 10th Division of the 7th Group Army ran head-on into the two divisions of the Japanese 3rd Front Army heading south from Shenyang. It only took three hours to defeat them all. After the subsequent arrival of the 27th Division, it was directly Roll over...

In the following ten days, 45 U.S. Army troops swept across the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast. The 5th and 7th Fleets and the Far East U.S. Air Force dispatched more than 1500 advanced fighter aircraft to assist in the battle, annihilating the Kwantung Army's air power and gaining control of the battlefield. Finally, the U.S. military seized on the weakness of the Japanese army, which had almost no armor, and pushed forward all the way. They won consecutive battles and defeated all the Japanese troops that faced them!

During this period, the anti-Japanese forces of the underground party that persisted in the war of resistance in the Northeast provided timely intelligence support to the U.S. military according to instructions from their superiors. According to the instructions of Commander-in-Chief Pan Sen, the U.S. military also delivered all captured Japanese weapons and equipment to the underground as "remuneration." Party armed forces...

At the end of the month, a large number of underground party troops from Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and Henan arrived outside the customs. Under the leadership of specially arranged Chinese navy and army officers, they followed the US military forward while receiving weapons and equipment...
