Age of Rebirth

The Malay Peninsula garrison division of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expedition Army, the shore artillery commander Yamazaki Zhongzuo, really wronged His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito, the chief of the general staff of the base camp, a sesame-sized shore artillery commander, Zairen would not talk so much, as Emperor Hirohito My younger brother, his position in the military has already reached his peak, and Zai Ren has not paid attention to this little credit.

The complete annihilation of the independent division fleet in the Strait of Malacca is His Majesty's royal plan, which involves all aspects. The Southeast Asian dispatch army, the Navy's first fleet, and the No.17 Air Force of the Taiwan Front Army are not under the same leadership, and each has its own mountains and factions. It also involves the imperial military, the long-standing sea-land dispute, without a big enough boss to sit in the center, coordinate and command in the middle, it is easy to cooperate poorly, or even tear each other down.

Not only Yamazaki's shore artillery commander, but now, the title of Supreme Commander of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy and Commander of the No.17 Air Force is all on the head of Prince Zain. This is not just as simple as central coordination Instead, he took over the command, which shows how determined the two brothers of Emperor Hirohito are to kill the independent division fleet!

After receiving Yamazaki's telegram, Prince Zairen, who had read the number of people and was cunning and cunning, saw Yamazaki's careful thinking at a glance, smiled disdainfully, and said: "Stupid" Then, the simple reply to Yamazaki couldn't be simpler, just Two words "Hold it! Don't let it pass."

Sending the telegram with resentment, I got a few words, and Yamazaki was dumbfounded all of a sudden, "Resist!" These two words are slippery, but they contain too many meanings. Nothing happened, but if he couldn't stand it and let the independent division fleet run away from his defense zone, Yamazaki knew the seriousness of the consequences, and it wasn't as simple as losing his head. [

As for how to withstand it, how can the Chinese fleet not be allowed to pass.That is the matter of the on-site commander, Lieutenant Yamazaki. Your Excellency the Chief of Staff has too many major issues to consider, and it is Yamazaki's duty to direct the operations.

A fire in Yamazaki.He couldn't say it in his heart, and challenged His Excellency the Chief of Staff. Yamazaki himself felt tired and crooked. Braving fierce artillery fire, Yamazaki arrived at the nearest forward artillery position. The situation made Yamazaki unbearable to watch.The powerful naval guns overturned the shore artillery positions here, and the scattered pits, crooked shore artillery, and corpses with missing arms and legs were a mess.

Yamazaki wanted to find a living soldier and asked about the specific situation.The staff officer sent out did not run tens of meters away, and a large-caliber gun roared down.At that time, the staff officer turned into a rain of blood and minced meat, and Yamazaki hurriedly withdrew to the headquarters. If he stayed any longer, the commander himself might become one of the corpses everywhere.

Qiu Quan was not satisfied with the current strike force. He felt that the progress was too slow. He bombarded the Japanese artillery position for nearly an hour, and the Japanese artillery had not been completely cleared there.The Japanese artillery here has been destroyed, but Qiuquan dare not order the fleet to advance. If the Japanese army has a spare artillery position and the fleet enters the range of its artillery fire, it will be severely hit.

But time waits for no one.Tang Qiuquan's eyebrows were twisted into a big knot. Along the right bank of the Strait of Malacca, not only this Japanese artillery position, but also at least five places that threatened the fleet. This is the first place. , less than five hours before dawn, we must find a way to solve this problem.

Rear Admiral Amosiyev, the first deputy commander of the fleet, walked up to Qiuquan and whispered a few words. Qiuquan's brows stretched out, and he ordered: "The first and second speedboat brigades, immediately attack the bombardment area just now. Within a range of fifteen kilometers, different artillery fire coverage was carried out, and the first carrier-based aircraft flight regiment took off two brigades to serve as aerial observation aircraft, and at the same time, destroy sporadic Japanese artillery."

Amosiyev's method is actually a helpless method. There is no way to judge whether the Japanese army has a reserve artillery position, so they simply cover it with different artillery fire. If there are fish and no fish, they will catch a net. The speedboat brigade of the naval warfare "Thunder" rocket launcher is the most suitable. Several speedboats fired in salvo without shooting dead ends.

Yamazaki, who returned to the headquarters, knew that his first-line artillery position was completely finished, so that the naval guns of the independent division could not be fired. He grabbed the phone and ordered the second-line artillery position to immediately enter the combat state and wait for the independent division. The division's warships approached and immediately began shelling.

Then, he held up the binoculars and carefully observed the sea surface. Although it was pitch black and he couldn’t see anything clearly, he could conclude that the warships of the Independent Division would definitely continue to move forward. Otherwise, a fleet would not be able to compete with more than 100 coastal artillery He secretly rejoiced that two artillery positions had been set up, otherwise, with the shelling just now, all the first artillery group would have been turned into scrap iron.

In the telescope lens, many small moving black dots faintly appeared. Yamazaki tried his best to widen his eyes, but he still couldn't see clearly. At this moment, bursts of fire suddenly flashed on the sea. The gunboat revealed a mysterious figure, and then, a string of meteor-like bright spots, dragging a long tail flame, flew over in a neat formation, and Yamazaki watched these fireballs fly across the sky in front of him in amazement , full of incomprehension.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There were indistinguishable numbers of explosions that shook the ground, and a wave of air hit Yamazaki. A small boat in the violent storm bumped violently, and the disheveled Yamazaki got up. Even a stupid person could tell that it was the enemy's artillery covering.

But Yamazaki didn't understand why, he was an old artilleryman, what kind of artillery was this, he had never seen it before, the gunboat was even more terrifying, and he touched it under his nose without anyone noticing, he picked up the phone and yelled Shouted: "Prepare shore artillery positions, immediately bombard the channel!" He found that he had shouted in vain, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

Yamazaki was alert, "Could it be that the second-line artillery positions were also subjected to devastating shelling by this strange artillery?" He ordered: "Immediately use the radio to contact the artillery positions."

There was no response from the radio station. Now that the battle was over, Yamazaki also figured out something. Once his artillery fired, it would expose the target. Knock it out, this disadvantageous thing can no longer be done. If the fight continues like this, let alone withstand it, before dawn, the five artillery positions will be wiped out one by one.

There is also the strange gunboat that eludes ghosts, and even the second-line artillery positions that cannot fire can not escape the artillery cover. All the reserve artillery positions in Yamazaki are located [-] kilometers away from the front artillery positions. Within a range of twelve kilometers, he couldn't escape the coverage of this kind of strange artillery. How much money did he have to deal with?

Yamazaki felt that it should be dealt with on the fly, and forget about that bullshit chief of staff, he immediately used the radio to order several other artillery groups. When the independent division fleet is not within the range of artillery fire, it is absolutely not allowed to fire to expose the target. I Stop fighting, can the naval guns of the Chinese warship still find their positions?

Once the Chinese warship moves forward and enters the coverage of my artillery fire, I will risk my life to fight. Anyway, "dragging" with the Chinese fleet is also a way of "resisting", and it is still the least loss. Way.

Yamazaki's countermeasures put Qiuquan in a dilemma. The fleet had already entered the waters near Singapore. He could be sure that the Japanese shore artillery positions exposed just now, including the reserve positions, had been completely destroyed. Survive the stormy artillery fire, unless it is to drill into the ground.

But next, the Japanese army stopped firing, and the fleet lost its target. The speedboat brigade can't be covered by a kilometer-by-kilometre row of artillery. First of all, medicine is a big problem. The fleet can't delay the time. Qiuquan gritted his teeth and "ordered The two brigades of the first carrier-based aircraft flight regiment withdrew, and the second regiment took off to conduct fire reconnaissance at a depth of [-] kilometers on the right bank of the Strait of Malacca. After the second regiment returned, the first regiment took over the attack.” [

Qiuquan could only do this. The carrier-based aircraft carried aerial bombs and bombed them in places where the Japanese army might set up artillery positions, and then strafed them. He didn't believe it. The two carrier-based aircraft groups took turns. Fighting like this, the artillery positions of the Japanese army have not yet surfaced?

In the sky, the lights of the carrier-based aircraft's night flight were shining, and they were thrown down one by one, and shot down one after another. Yamazaki was really ruthless, let you blow up fireworks, sparkling fire, and mud flying everywhere, just not moving. Gritting his teeth and standing still, he saw that the Chinese warship did not fire. After more than an hour, seeing no effect, Qiu Quan had no choice but to order the operation to stop.

In desperation, Tang Qiuquan could only order the fleet to stop advancing and anchored on the spot. He did not dare to venture forward. With a coastline of more than 100 kilometers, who would know that there were still several Japanese artillery positions in front of him, so he could only wait. Qiuquan had no idea. Seeing that the Japanese garrison here was so difficult to deal with, Qiu Quan's face became more and more ugly as time passed.

At dawn on November [-], at around [-] o'clock, the first echelon bomber fleet of the Southern Aviation Group flew over the Malay Peninsula and arrived in the airspace of the Strait of Malacca. Under Qin's command, he flew over Yangon and rushed to escort the bomber fleet.

Ten minutes later, Tang Qiuli of the Yangon Frontline Headquarters of the Independent Division in Yangon Town, northwest of Yangon, was awakened by Liu Xinlan. After washing up, he took a bite of the breakfast carefully prepared by Liu Xinlan. Director Chen Feng rushed in in a hurry, before he could stand at attention, he said in a hurried tone: "Master, urgent information!"! ~!
