Chapter 297 Restoring Hong Kong and Kowloon

"The first stage of our operation is to cut off the little devil's sea fleet in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Lu Xingguo, this task will be handed over to your air force group to complete."

"In the second stage, we attacked in three ways, all the way to the west, composed of the third attack group and the fifth attack group, attached to the first tank regiment and the first heavy artillery regiment, to recover Yuen Long and Tuen Mun; all the way to the east, by the The Fourth Attack Group and the Sixth Attack Group were composed, attached to the Second Tank Regiment and the Second Heavy Artillery Regiment, to recover Dapo, Kowloon and other places. The two sides joined forces in Kowloon and attacked Hong Kong Island.

The Seventh Attack Group served as the general reserve.

The third mission is the most special, and it is undertaken by the commando team. With the cooperation of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Battalion, they sneak into Tsim Sha Tsui, decapitate the little devil's headquarters, and destroy the enemy's headquarters! "

According to Gao Jianwu's tactical deployment, this time the three-dimensional attack method of air-land coordination, infantry tank and infantry coordination is still adopted.

Under this strategy, the most important thing is to add a few destroyers to the little devil's combined naval fleet and blow them up.

After all, the guns of the little devil destroyer are very sharp. Even under the command of Gao Jianwu, no matter how high the level of artillery is, it is impossible to fight against them.After all, it is above the artillery range.

The naval guns of the little devil destroyer are still very advantageous.Especially for one of the Fubuki-class destroyers, the main weapon system is three 3mm three-year-style dual-mounted main gun turrets, with a maximum range of 127 meters and a maximum rate of fire of 18380 rounds per minute.

这种舰炮的威力已经超过了高建武现在拥有的所有重炮,现在远征军集群炮兵的头号重锤M1A1型155毫米榴弹炮,它的最大射程仅仅为15公里,比起小鬼子驱逐舰127毫米舰炮要少3公里!

Since the little devil's destroyer can also move and fight, it has a greater range and more flexible operations, so Gao Jianwu has no other options.

"The Air Force Group is doing its best to destroy the Little Devils fleet. If the high-altitude bombing fails, we will resort to dive bombing. This time, the Allied Forces airlifted a batch of torpedoes. Our Air Force Group is confident that we will wipe out the Little Devils fleet!" Lu Xingguo Knowing the importance of the air force cluster, he stood up first and expressed his opinion.

Following Lu Xingguo's stance, Xu Shida, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao, Lu Fan, Sun Desheng and others also expressed their stance.

Although with the departure of Chu Yunfei and Ding Wei, the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary army group has dropped a lot.After all, the first attack group and the second attack group are well-deserved one of the top cards of the expeditionary army group.

But the rest are fighting the little devils for the rest of their lives, even Kong Jie and Lu Fan who joined later, they have also withstood the baptism of war in penetrating the French Indochina of the Southern Army.

In addition to this battle, the weapons and ammunition were paid for by the Allied Forces, and the four main attack groups restored a full set of American weapons and equipment. In terms of weapons, they have already overwhelmed the two and a half divisions and one and a half brigades left by the little devil in Hong Kong and Kowloon. group.

"Mother Xipi, what's the matter with Chief Yu, ordering gifts to send the expeditionary army group to leave Guangdong, such a simple thing can be ruined? Let the expeditionary army group take root in Guangdong, it's really stupid!" Wei Wei When Master Cao heard the news from his intelligence department, he was about to explode.

But now the sky is high and the emperor is far away.No matter how long his hands were, they still couldn't reach Guangdong. Regarding the private deal between Chief Yu and Gao Jianwu, the principal had no choice but to continue to increase his blood pressure.

Although the headmaster didn't know the specifics of the deal, as long as he combined the information from his subordinates, these things were very familiar to him.After all, this set of tricks has long been a trick he has played badly.

But what can I do if I know, it is really beyond my reach now.

As the little devils continued to attack the city, the principal felt that many things were out of control.

This is the case in Jin, and now it seems that Guangdong may follow in the same footsteps.

At this time, the principal didn't know Gao Jianwu's plan, and had no plan to leave the expeditionary army group to take root in Guangdong.

Once Gao Jianwu decided to do this, relying on Chief Yu's 12th Army, he couldn't stop him at all.Not to mention a 12th Army, even five or six are useless.

Regarding this point, the headmaster who beat the little devil to the point where he knew the opponent's strength very well was still a little bit hesitant.

After all, the 12th Army would have a hard time dealing with a single little devil division, but a single expeditionary army group could kill several little devil divisions!
"Forget it, Chief Yu, don't count on him. Let Director Mao send more people over there to find out the situation. At the same time, in the place occupied by the expeditionary army group, we are determined to send personnel to establish grassroots organizations, and will Report the situation to me, and continue to expose the illegal actions of the expeditionary army group’s bold and arbitrary cross-regional activities through the newspaper.” After walking seven or eight thousand steps in the room, the principal finally made a helpless decision.

Although this decision is of no great use to the overall situation, for Ding Wei, this is also a disgusting and troublesome matter. After all, it is indeed very passive to be manipulated by the other party in terms of public opinion.

The so-called bad name means bad words, and in this situation, I can only keep silent for the time being and concentrate on developing myself.

"Gao, I'm glad to see you and your expeditionary force group again." Major General Smith said happily, giving Gao Jianwu a bear hug. "I'm here to fight with you again this time."

Major General Smith heard that Gao Jianwu was going to attack the little devils in Hong Kong and Kowloon, so he volunteered to fight.Now he serves as the Air Force Major General of the Allied Beautiful Country in the Southeast Asia Theater Command, and now he has an air force under his command, including an A-20 attack squadron.

He discussed with General Steven and brought the A-20 attack squadron to help out. On the one hand, he strengthened the connection with Gao Jianwu. The performance of the expeditionary army group made General Steven more inclined to the Eight Route Intense, so before Gao Jianwu launched an attack on the supply, the goods began to head towards Qiongshan port;

On the other hand, Major General Smith also made some military exploits by the way. You must know that Gao Jianwu is the God of War, and there are many Hong Kong and Kowloon devils, so there are many opportunities.

"Dear John, my old friend, welcome to join our battle formation again." Gao Jianwu was also very happy with the arrival of Major General Smith, after all, this international friend is really interested in something!
This time with 30 A-20 attack aircraft, Gao Jianwu is like a tiger with wings added.

"Gao, tell me, what are you going to do this time?" Major General Smith, who was impressed by Gao Jianwu's unpredictable artillery command art, went straight to the point without saying a word.

After all, he came all the way, and he didn't just do this to watch the little devil perish.

"John, the little devil's fleet in Hong Kong and Kowloon will be handed over to you. How about it? A patchwork squadron with more than 10 destroyers is enough for you?" Gao Jianwu said with a smile. Xingguo's work was transferred to him.

Although Lu Xingguo and the others can do a good job in this matter, it is impossible to face the little devil and these dozen destroyers without paying certain casualties.After all, these destroyers have their own air defense systems.Compared with the weak air defense capability of the Little Devils Army, the Little Devils Navy is obviously more than a chip stronger!
What's more, Lu Xingguo's Mustang fighter jets were not born for bombing at all. In contrast, Major General Smith's A-20 attack aircraft is professional.

"Haha, that's a big piece of fat, enough, enough." Major General Smith said with a beaming smile.He has been with Gao Jianwu for a long time, and of course he also knows Gao Jianwu's commanding habits. Without a certain amount of coordinated training, he would not be able to integrate into Gao Jianwu's main attacking team.

It is best to directly specify the target like this and execute the task alone.

The entire combat deployment has undergone subtle changes due to the addition of Major General Smith's attack aircraft squadron, but the situation is more favorable for Gao Jianwu.Lu Xingguo and the others are now directly assigned to the two attack groups, once again staged a three-in-one three-dimensional war of air-ground coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and infantry coordination in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

The entire battle was first started by Major General Smith. Almost all of his A-20 attack aircraft squadrons were veterans. When the air strikes started, I did not expect that I would be attacked by attack aircraft from the beautiful country when the little devil stayed on the destroyer in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Even though they have been on high alert all the time, in the face of a sudden attack, most destroyers didn't even attack in the first round.

Before anti-aircraft missiles and highly automated radar locks, anti-aircraft guns are really ineffective against air attacks.Even if the little devil has a lot of naval training, he has no choice but to watch the entire destroyer squadron stationed in Hong Kong and Kowloon being blown up one by one.

At the same time, the little devil's Yuen Long Dapu defense line, facing the three-dimensional attack of the expeditionary army group, had no strength to resist, and could only be broken through one front after another.

Bombing, shelling, tank charge!The three-dimensional joint attack that has become more and more mature has let the little devil know with his life what is called a modern warfare method.

Taking advantage of someone paying the bill this time, Gao Jianwu did not hesitate to use ammunition to carry out the fire coverage attack mode.Therefore, this battle was fought even more heartily by the expeditionary army group.

Now looking at Zhang Dabiao, the hat-throwing king who beat the little devils with cannon fire to the point of crying, he no longer has to worry about being thrown away one day and not finding the precious beautiful country steel helmet on his head.

Even Zhang Dabiao didn't know when was the last time he fought with a bayonet?Fighting with Gao Jianwu doesn't mean that you don't need to rely on the spirit of bayonet, but that you don't need to use that at all now, so you can get rid of the little devil.

Compared with the previous fierce battles where 1/3 or 1/4 of his subordinates were frequently lost in battle, if any battalion commander in Zhang Dabiao's fourth attack group dared to fight like this and cause losses, Zhang Dabiao would have beaten him to the point where he couldn't take care of himself. up.

Faced with an extremely unfavorable situation, General Tanaka Jiuyi, who was in a desperate situation, commanded the little devil to grit his teeth for three days and three nights until it was useless to wipe out all the troops. Given the special situation in Hong Kong and Kowloon, the little devil was in It is also unlikely to build a very strong defensive line there.

Under the artillery commanded by Gao Jianwu, all the little devil's defenses were as fragile as paper.

The expeditionary army group wiped out the little devils cleanly and seized the weapons of four multi-division regiments. In addition to the ammunition that Gao Jianwu exploded, this time Gao Jianwu really prepared a big gift for Ding Wei's South China base.

Ding Wei organized a total of [-] soldiers and civilians, and it took seven days and seven nights to capture Gao Jianwu's property, and all the assets of the little devil in Hong Kong and Kowloon were wiped out!

Waiting for the British and Indian troops with the British in the allied army to come to take over the defense, the officer with the British suddenly found that even a grain of food had been taken away from the barracks occupied by the little devils, and now in the warehouse, even the rats saw want to cry.

With such a harvest, Ding Wei finally felt relieved.Because what Gao Jianwu gave him this time was not just weapons and ammunition.Including a large amount of food confiscated from the little devils, materials from the trading company, and a batch of machinery and equipment. He said that these equipment are still far from the Jinyang factory.

However, when Ding Wei received the engineers from the Jinyang Arsenal, at least the production capacity of bullets and shells below 75mm was established. In addition, he can now receive raw materials such as steel from Nanyang. Isolated and blocked.

Sure enough, following Gao Jianwu, eating nine meals in three days is no problem at all!

After completing the Battle of Hong Kong and Kowloon, Gao Jianwu and Major General Smith met again in Jindi. According to the time Gao Jianwu promised to Major General Smith, he will be able to provide Major General Smith with a solid rear base to bomb the little devil's homeland in half a year.

I don't know what Gao Jianwu said?After the two got drunk at the Hong Kong-Kowloon University, Major General Smith led his attack aircraft squadron back to the base.

And Gao Jianwu led the expeditionary army group and began to go north along the Guangdong-Han line. Compared with walking completely on two legs before, this time it has improved a lot. Chief Yu had long wanted to send good external conditions like the god of plague. On the treatment of taking the train out of Guangdong.

More importantly, Gao Jianwu received new information that the Little Devil's No. 1 operation had started ahead of schedule, and the Little Devil's 11th Army had started the Battle of Tanzhou ahead of schedule.

He must stop a losing battle.

"Mr. Xue, Commander-in-Chief Gao of the Expeditionary Force Group in the Second War Zone received a call from Allied intelligence that the 11th Army of the Little Devils had assembled 10 divisions and was about to attack Tanzhou. All the troops will be dispatched, and more than 11 fighter jets from the Air Force of the Central China Front Army will be assembled to assist in the battle, and the expeditionary army group is willing to enter Tanzhou to assist in the defense."

After listening to the latest telegram received by the communications staff officer, Chief Xue frowned. Of course he had heard of Gao Jianwu, and now he has surpassed him to become the person who wiped out the most troops in one fell swoop, making Chief Xue even more unhappy.

"Call back to the Allied Army Command. The high command is thousands of miles away from the Japanese 11th Army. The news reported is false. Please don't believe it. The so-called cooperative defense is even more absurd. Even if the Japanese invaders come, our ninth war zone is strong and strong, and we can deal with it without any foreign aid. .”

Chief Xue replied lightly to the communications staff.

If it was a call sent directly to him, he didn't need to pay attention to it at all.However, Gao Jianwu transferred the information through the Allied Forces, Chief Xue wanted to give the Allied Forces some face, but he just replied.

for the things they mentioned.Chief Xue vetoed it immediately.

Chief Xue will never allow what Gao Jianwu and the others did in Guangdong to happen in Hunan.

After Gao Jianwu received the message from Major General Smith, he gave a wry smile.

This so-called God of War is really a bit arrogant. Although the source of his own information has not been disclosed, it is not too difficult to verify.There are many clues to the dispatch of more than 11 troops. Based on the intelligence system of the national army system, if the intelligence of the little devil's [-]th Army is gathered, a lot of useful information can definitely be obtained.

It's just that I didn't expect them to reject it without even verifying it.For these local warlords, they are more sensitive to whether their own interests have been violated.

And Gao Jianwu's plan just touched their sensitive point.

As for stealing the title of God of War, Gao Jianwu really didn't think about it.For him, these false names are of no use.

"John, the Ninth War Zone has not accepted it. Please help us fight for the right to use Hengzhou Airport, and let the expeditionary force air force cluster stationed to support the upcoming Tanzhou Battle. I am sure that the 11th Army of the Little Devils will launch an attack soon, and the time will not exceed 72 hours."

Gao Jianwu thought for a while, and ordered the communications staff to send a report to Major General Smith of the Allied Command, requesting Major General Smith to mediate on Hengzhou Airport. Hengzhou Airport is now controlled by the Allied Forces. Gao Jianwu wants some air forces to station at this airport. Support the upcoming big battle.

Although the main air force of the expeditionary force cluster at Huiyang Airport is only more than 400 kilometers away from Tanzhou in the air, this distance is nothing compared to the combat radius of the Mustang fighter jets.

But after all, it is far away from the battlefield, and it takes a lot of time to fly to the sky above the battlefield. As a light fighter that needs to frequently replenish ammunition, of course, the closer to the battlefield, the better.

Major General Smith is as reliable as ever, and now he is an important assistant to General Steven, and he has no doubts about the intelligence proposed by Gao Jianwu. Tanzhou and Hengzhou are not far away, and both are key places in Hunan Province. He has three glorious records of repelling the little devils, but this time the little devils' central China front army has come out in full force, and their strength is already extraordinary. Major General Smith is very familiar with the Shenzhou theater. After Gao Jianwu provided the force data of the little devils, he and Steven The general conducted a deduction, and the two unanimously predicted that without strong support, the Allied forces in this battle would be very dangerous.

However, the chiefs of the Ninth War Zone almost turned a deaf ear to their warnings and suggestions, and even thought it was false information!

This made General Steven and Major General Smith very angry. Now that Gao Jianwu is going to take the initiative to take part in the battle with the expeditionary force group, for General Steven, it is a timely rain. After Major General Smith's mediation, he readily agreed to Gao Jianwu's request Request, and order the local beautiful country flying team to cooperate with the expeditionary force group air force.

In this way, after the confluence of the Air Force of the Expeditionary Army Group and the two flying squadrons of the beautiful country, Hengzhou Airport has assembled nearly 2 Mustang fighters. The seven-type fighters are the main ones, mixed with the Nakajima I-type, plus a small amount of 180-type heavy attack aircraft and dozens of the most advanced zero-type fighters in Xiaotian.

From the perspective of strength, the expeditionary force cluster and the Allied Air Force are not at a disadvantage.Facing the Type 97 fighter jets, the Mustang fighter jets have an overwhelming advantage. As long as the Xiaotian Zero fighter jets are killed, the little devil's air force will not be in trouble.

If the Ninth War Zone cooperates, Gao Jianwu has a good chance of winning the first battle in Tanzhou, but now it is obvious that cooperation is impossible. The Ninth War Zone is not interested in Gao Jianwu's suggestion at all. Gao Jianwu can only do it alone. Solve it yourself.

This is a big problem for the expeditionary army group going north alone.After all, in a big battle, various materials such as weapons and ammunition are consumed hugely.Now the expeditionary force group can no longer provide timely supplies to the Allied forces in the interior.

Fortunately, when the expeditionary force group arrived in Hengzhou, Gao Jianwu was warmly welcomed by the local Tenth Army.

"Commander Gao, I have admired your name for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you. On behalf of the Tenth Army, I warmly welcome the expeditionary army group to enter Hengzhou." The commander of the Tenth Army said a little excitedly.

Gao Jianwu couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that Commander Fang really didn't look like he was pretending.However, it did not prevent him from responding to the friendliness of the other army commander.

"Mr. Fang is very polite. The whole group of the expeditionary army came to Hengzhou this time to fight the devils in the war of resistance. They have no other intentions." He has repeatedly made military exploits, and he is worthy of being a famous anti-Japanese general in China."

"Commander Gao is admirable. Who doesn't know that the expeditionary army group is the strongest anti-Japanese team in the world. It has killed countless enemies. It is the luck of Fang's life to meet Commander Gao today. Please welcome Commander Gao and Colleagues from the Expeditionary Army Group have come to Hengzhou. Fang has a little bit of wine, please ask Commander Gao and all the generals to appreciate it!"

Hearing Gao Jianwu's words, Commander Fang's face became more courteous. People carried people in bridal sedan chairs. Gao Jianwu looked very young, but Commander Fang was not blind. Seeing the crowd of expeditionary troops behind Gao Jianwu, who were ordered to prohibit the high morale Know that this is indeed a powerful army in the world.

Commander Fang is in a bit of an embarrassing situation in the Ninth War Zone. He has long been at odds with the commander of the Ninth War Zone. There is even a division in the Ninth War Zone that has been requisitioned by the Ninth War Zone and cannot return to Hengzhou. As the main defender of Hengzhou, he is under a lot of pressure now. .

Therefore, Commander Fang is very pleased with the arrival of the expeditionary army group.

Gao Jianwu and his party entered Hengzhou City with Fang Junchang. As for the large troops, they were naturally guided to set up camp outside Hengzhou City.

At this moment, the little devil has not moved, and Gao Jianwu is not going to forcefully go to Tanzhou. At this time, seeing Commander Fang is so polite, although he does not know that this is a boycott between Commander Fang and the Chief of the Ninth War Zone, but there is a place to settle. Of course it's a good thing.

Three days later, the 11th Army of the Little Devils really launched a fierce attack. The commander of the Little Devils, Lieutenant General Heng Shanyong, had been planning for a long time. He had already prepared for the target in front of him. At the beginning, they fell one after another, and the main force of the Little Devil's 11th Army soon approached Tanzhou!
