Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

At the beginning of the offensive, the aircraft and naval guns of the Miao coalition forces bombarded Saipan indiscriminately for nearly two hours, destroying a large number of fortifications and artillery positions of the island army.

Because he followed Jiang Haoran's suggestion and divided his troops to attack Tinian and Guam at the same time, the shortage of landing ships was even more severe. Therefore, Nimitz focused his attack on one place, and the location was set at Chapman on the west coast of Saipan Island. Langannuo tactically used elite soldiers to break through and open a gap, and a large number of infantry continued to drive up, gradually occupying the entire island.

After the bombing, the Fourth Division of the Mi Army Marine Corps took more than [-] landing ships and began to land on the beach.

Dozens of battleships, heavy cruisers, and destroyers broke down about 1000 meters away from the coastline of Charangannuo. The naval guns aimed at the island army's positions and launched fierce shelling. Aviation fire suppression.

The gunboats organized in the landing craft fleet provided accompanying fire support with [-]mm artillery, and the amphibious tanks were on the two wings and the middle of the crawler landing convoy, clearing away the obstacles of the Japanese army and covering the landing of the crawler landing vehicles.

Under the cover of these firepower, it only took an hour for the Miao coalition forces to successfully land on the first batch of troops.

Sensing the threat, the island army fought back frantically under the heavy firepower of aircraft and naval guns. All kinds of artillery fire poured forward, causing the rice army's crawler landing vehicle to drive to the designated location at all.

The former enemy commander of the Mi Army adjusted his tactics locally, unloaded the personnel near the waterline, and let the soldiers wade into the water to land. Wu Yangyang braved the enemy's artillery fire and pushed forward. Shells exploded around them, and the casualties were almost impossible. Estimate.

However, the rice army marines did have very good qualities, and there was no trace of chaos. The soldiers rushed forward with all their might, and it took less than half an hour for a division to rush ashore. Countless corpses, but the first step of the beachhead plan has been successful.

Under the cover of aircraft and naval guns, the landing force quickly advanced and successfully laid down the enemy's first line of defense, which meant that they had gained a foothold on Saipan.

Next, the Miao coalition forces on the surface warships will continue to march towards the island along the road they have traveled, and crush the island army with three times the strength of the island army.

And almost the same scene was staged in Tinian Island and Guam at the same time. The three important islands in the entire Mariana Islands fought across the board. Waiting for the No. 30 army of the island army will be an endless battle.

Three days later, in the early morning, in the South China Sea, the headquarters of the aircraft carrier "Qi Jiguang", the flagship of the Third Fleet of China's Pacific Fleet.

The former enemy commander-in-chief Liu Dakun, chief of staff Zhao Liangyu, commander of the Third Fleet Xie Chen and the general staff of the fleet, as well as the military chiefs of the divisions of the Yuanyi Group Army gathered together.

Two hours later, when it was time for a large-scale offensive, Liu Dakun called all the generals to hold a pre-war military meeting.

"If there are no other questions, let's go back and prepare. We will set off at eight o'clock sharp and land on the beach at nine o'clock sharp." Liu Dakun got up and said.

"Yes." All the generals stood up and agreed loudly.

Liu Dakun punched the table with his right hand, and said fiercely: "Before departure, let me reiterate that I have issued a military order in front of the chief to get the main attack of this battle. The chief executive will chop off my head, but remember, before the chief executive chops off my head, I will behead yours first."

"Don't worry, Commander, we have never done such dirty things, and this time will be no exception. It's because the chief is worrying too much." Duan Ruyi, the commander of the 211th division, said boldly.

Liu Dakun's eyeballs bulged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, I'm most worried about you, you kid. It was you who took the lead in the Leizhou Peninsula battle. Don't think I don't know about those little girls in the little devil's field hospital."

There was a burst of laughter in the headquarters, but all the generals also expressed that even if it was for Liu Dakun's head this time, they would never do it again.

They probably never imagined in their dreams that it was Jiang Haoran's order that saved the lives of countless soldiers of Yuanyi Group Army, but the Miao Allied Army was not so lucky. In a battle where the casualties would not be too large, it resulted in huge casualties.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the National Army Air Force came on the stage, and densely packed fighter jets and bombers flew over Subic Bay on the southwestern coast of Luzon, and began a carpet bombing.

On the sea, all types of warships were launched at the same time, and the target direction was directed at Subic Bay.

Ju Rongsan's guess was accurate. The main attack direction of the Yuanyi Group was Subic Bay, and even the landing place of the airborne division was not bad at all, which was Nasugbu, south of Manila.

At this moment, in Lingayen Bay in the northwest of Luzon Island, the First Fleet of the Navy is also setting up an attack, but it is only a feint attack, used to confuse the public, and there will be no substantial offensive posture.

At [-]:[-], more than [-] heavy cruisers, destroyers, and frigates of the Third Fleet broke down at a distance of more than a thousand meters from the front, and formed an attack formation against the coastline.

The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier also began to take off one after another, cooperating with the heavy bombers of the Army Aviation to implement firepower suppression.

There were explosions and flames on the entire coastline, and the thick smoke made the entire frontier disappear.

More than [-] landing ships carrying the second and third divisions of the Marine Corps began to push towards the shore with all their strength under the cover of aircraft and naval guns.

Originally thought that they could advance to the coastline and start landing on time, but the minesweeper in front sent back news that the enemy had placed a large number of guns in the area hundreds of meters in front of the coastline, as well as countless sunken ships, barbed wire, wooden thorns, and jagged concrete corners Cone, I'm afraid it can't be cleaned in a short time.

The landing was at a stalemate. Hundreds of landing ships and warships were in a dilemma on the sea, so they had to temporarily anchor and wait for the progress of the minesweepers and salvage teams ahead.

Because the momentum of the attack was blocked, the air force had to return to the voyage one after another to refuel, reload, and prepare for the next round of attacks.

The island army was able to breathe, the gunpowder smoke cleared, and the densely packed warships on the sea were enough to make the island army frightened, and the shore-based firepower began to fight back.

After all, the island army has been operating in the Philippines for several years, and they have been defeated all the way in Southeast Asia. They have long expected that they will have today, so they also have a way. The shore-based firepower is still very strong. On the coastline of more than ten kilometers, dozens of hundreds of Cannons with a diameter of more than two hundred opened fire one after another.

For a moment, the water column on the sea was soaring into the sky, and there was a rumbling sound of explosions. Landing ships were destroyed one after another, and the rest were also swaying in the huge waves raised by the shells.

Unfavorable start of the attack, Liu Dakun was furious in the headquarters, and urgently ordered the landing ship to anchor and disperse to retreat, away from the center of the explosion. At the same time, he ordered the naval guns to fire rapidly to suppress firepower.
