Chapter 76: Chashan Landing (2)
Dingling!
The rapid phone ringing rang, and a thumping sound of running quickly ran in the corridor of the Japanese Army Command in Taipei.
A telecommunication consultant broke open Okada Shinho's office despite etiquette. Okada Shinho, who was having sex with two kimono prostitutes, suddenly shuddered and stared at the guy who broke in with a murderous look.
"If I don't give me a reason to be satisfied, I will definitely shoot you."
"Secretary—— Commander, Tang———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Yasuo Okada was lifting his pants. He was stunned when he heard this, allowing his pants to slide down again, revealing the exquisite bird. The staff officer immediately showed his contemptuous eyes, and the secret smile in his heart was even younger than his, and he immediately regained his confidence.
When Okada Shin-oka realized his incompetence, he glared at the staff officer, hurriedly put on his clothes, and drove the two prostitutes out.
After reading the telegram, Okada Shintoo immediately turned pale and hurriedly held an emergency meeting.
Half an hour later, Okada Shin-oka entered the conference room. At this time, everyone knew the news, their faces were full of shock and disbelief.
"Don't doubt the reliability of the news. An hour ago, the Tang army suddenly raided Chashan. The direction of Chashan has lost contact. According to Tainan Prefecture's report, the explosion of bombers diving and dropping bombs was heard in the sound of the last call from Pingtung County, and a large number of nearby guns and cannons. The news of the Tang army landing from Pingtung is reliable."
The Japanese generals were still incredible.
"How is it possible? There is a typhoon raging, and people walking outside will inevitably be swept away by hurricanes. How could the Tang army have already landed? Besides, how did the Tang army arrive in Tainan? Could it be that they could not descend from the sky?"
Okada Shinto said: "Let's not mention how the Tang army landed on Chashan. I have ordered the 11th Brigade of Tainan to urgently reinforce Pingtung County, and I will soon know the news is true or false."
"The Tang army is too cruel. They took advantage of the typhoon to launch a surprise attack. Although they could achieve unexpected surprises in the battle, they themselves will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
The Japanese generals generally believed that even if the attack was launched under such a powerful typhoon, it would inevitably hurt the enemy by 1,000 and 800.
However, Okada Shinto was frowning. If the Tang army really landed in the Chashan area, it would mean that the coastal defense line he had worked hard to build had failed. The powerful fortifications built around Taiwan Island had directly lost their strategic value.
Half an hour later, the Japanese commander of Tainan Prefecture sent a message that the 11th Brigade, which had set out before, retreated in less than five miles, and they did not encounter the Tang army. Instead, they suffered heavy losses due to the hurricane. More than 100 Japanese soldiers were swept away by the hurricane, with heavy rains and mountain floods. The Japanese army was unable to move forward, and it was impossible to reinforce Pingtung.
"asshole!"
Okada Shinto slammed the table hard and roared. If this continues, he will never know what happened in the Chashan area of Pingtung. The telephone line has been cut off. It is obvious that the agents who had previously lurked there have cut off all the news.
"I don't understand. How did the Tang army raid in such bad weather?"
Inoshita couldn't help asking questions. This was also a question that other Japanese generals wanted to ask, but seeing Okada Shinto's face looked ugly, and no one dared to mention it.
After a long time, Chief of Staff Yoshio Miyamoto boldly speculated: "Maybe Tang Jun was following the typhoon!"
"From Guam, following the typhoon to Taiwan Island?"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. How courage does this require? A slight mistake will definitely be the price of heavy losses.
"I informed General Onoji Wudi that the plan has changed. The previous combat plan that relies on Taiwan Island to deal with the Tang army may not be realized."
Everyone's expressions suddenly faded. They had previously vowed to fight the Tang army to the death. It was based on the powerful coastal fortifications of Taiwan Island, and the aircraft carrier fleet of Onoji Wudi, and the land-air fighter fleet on Taiwan Island, it was enough to resist the threat of the Tang army's aircraft carrier battle group. However, now the Tang army unexpectedly opened a breakthrough, and the Japanese troops on the island had to shrink completely, and the plan was forced to change.
The Japanese generals present were unsure of whether they could stop the Tang army from entering. During the last Tang-Japanese War, the Japanese army witnessed the powerful attack power of the Tang Dynasty Marine Corps. An armored regiment of the Tang army defeated a complete division of the Japanese army. The overwhelming equipment and firepower advantages, and the bloody scene that made the Japanese army frightened had already spread throughout the brains of all the Japanese army.
"Is it too early to shrink the troops now? If only a small group of troops in the Tang army landed on Chashan, our army would most likely regain it quickly and rebuild the entire coastal defense system. If it rashly shrinks its troops, it would be inappropriate. After all, it is a typhoon that we are now in the transit of the typhoon, and we will have torture and collapse before we can fight against the Tang army."
Inoshita's words made Okada Shinto hesitate again, and he actually had no idea.
Whether to wait or make a quick decision, Okada Shinto had to look at Chief of Staff Yoshio Miyamoto with help.
"The situation is still unclear, so let's wait first, but we must make the troops ready for combat."
Okada Shinto nodded and sighed, "This is the only way for the time being, I hope the result is not too bad."
In the Chashan area, the Tang Marines took advantage of the short period of wind and rain in the Fengyan area to advance quickly and quickly, conquering one small village after another, and basically controlled the area of more than 100 kilometers between the Chashan Port and the three counties of Pingtung.
However, the Tang army's tank could not escape the speed of the typhoon passing through. Soon the typhoon behind it crushed again. The Tang army's aircraft carrier battle group was shaking in the strong wind and waves. Some carrier-based aircraft on the deck were tied with iron chains to prevent it from sliding down to the sea. Even so, several huge waves shot over and damaged many fighter jets.
The landing Tang army armored troops were better. They could hide in the chariot to escape the wind and rain, while the infantry was a little miserable. On the one hand, they cleaned up the remaining stubborn Japanese troops, and on the other hand, they had to avoid hurricanes and rainstorms, resulting in many non-combat casualties.
However, this price is negligible for the Tang army. Because after taking down Chashan, the Tang army had a foothold on Taiwan Island. As long as the typhoon passed, the Tang army could go ashore. The Japanese army was also affected by the typhoon. All the Japanese troops who came to reinforce retreated and could only wait until the typhoon was over before they could launch a counterattack.
When the Tang army successfully raided and the news of seizing the Chashan landing area was sent back to the Daming Palace in Chang'an, Zhang Meng and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and were happy for Li Haichen's perfect typhoon raid plan and celebrated it.
At the same time, in the waters near the northern archipelago on the other side, the second aircraft carrier battle group of the Tang army was in combat deployment. They had just received information that the Japanese Navy Onodera Wudi Fleet had set out from Japan and advanced towards Taiwan. The second aircraft carrier battle group of the Tang army was ordered to intercept and delayed the Japanese plan to reinforce Taiwan.
The Japanese Navy was very careful. Although Onodera Wudi was determined to defeat the Tang Navy and avenge his brother Ono Shi Sandian, he was still very calm. At present, the navies of Japan and the Tang Dynasty still have quite a gap in the number of aircraft carriers. The Japanese Navy currently has only four large main aircraft carriers, while the Tang Navy has eight. Therefore, the route that Onodera Wudi is looking for is to take as detours as possible to avoid encountering the Tang Navy.
However, there were too many submarines in the Tang army. No matter how Onodera Wudi avoided, the position of his fleet would soon be known to the Tang army. Similarly, the Japanese Navy has also built a large number of submarines on a large scale in recent years and has also monitored the Tang army fleet in the Pacific Ocean. Onodera Wudi has received news from the Tang army fleet from time to time.
When Onodaiji Gonori saw the telegram from Okada Shintho, he was shocked. He originally planned to go to Tainan to join the Japanese Penghu fleet, and then confront the Tang army with the coastal fortifications and air defense firepower on Taiwan Island. Now, after seeing Okada Shinthori's telegram, he learned that the Tang army might have landed in Chashan, Onodaiji Gonori had to give up his original plan.
"Adopt a second combat plan!"
