Chapter 437 Attacking Indonesia (Part 2)
,
spnOn January 24, 1947, the Southeast Asian Army of the Empire officially launched an attack on Indonesia.
General Chopson commanded the war in western Indonesia, Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi commanded the war in front of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, and General Wang Jun personally commanded the battle in Kalimantan Island where the Japanese army was standing on their tiptoe.
Three large armies launched an attack on the main island of Indonesia where the Japanese army tiptoed.
As General Wang Jun was in charge of the Kalimantan offensive battle, including the 19th Army, the 32nd
The Army, the 33rd Army, and the 35th Army have four armies, totaling more than 500,000 troops. During the transportation process, they still encountered considerable troubles.[
However, because the 33rd Army and the 35th Army entered Hanzhong Province early, it was only 150 kilometers away from the planned landing ground in Ritio, located at the western end of Kalimantan Island.
General Wang Jun personally flew to Hanzhong Airport on the second day of the Lunar New Year, boarded the landing fleet, and would land with the two divisions of the vanguard.
At about the morning, General Wang Jun arrived at the port where he set out. Looking at the queuing of the port terminal, the officers and soldiers who were preparing to board the ship with a full set of jungle field equipment, he took a handheld electric horn and jumped onto an amphibious tank, and said loudly, "Comrades, from today on, the last battle in Southeast Asia will begin. In front of you are the Japanese who were forced to fight the dead end by us. As long as they defeat them, the territory of the empire will be connected from the south to the north of the earth. And you and I will be the heroes of history to fight this battle. Let me go home and take a look.
Now Lou ordered to board the ship!, there were already seven or eight landing ships in the port. The huge Hanzhong wharf in Hanzhong Province is enough to provide the army with one xn enough landing wharf.
In the entire Hanzhong Province, there were 40 landing ships on the first bout, gathering for the escort that went out to sea in advance and supporting the firepower fleet. They will directly attack Kalimantan Island.
The boarding was completed in 30 minutes. The officers and soldiers of the two divisions who had undergone many amphibious landing trainings were able to board the ship quickly and safely.
At around five o'clock, the first b-distance fleet sailed towards Indonesia under the cover of a fleet of aircraft flying over the sky.
When the Rising Sun just jumped out of the sea, if the Japanese fighter plane flew over the sea, they would definitely see ships covering dozens of square kilometers of sea surface, carrying imperial troops to attack Indonesia.
Located at the Ritues landing ground at the western end of Kalimantan Island, there are a Japanese wing and a division of Indonesian puppet troops stationed here. Relying on stronger coastal fortifications, it attempts to resist stubbornly.
Although the Japanese army faced difficulties in supply shortages in Indonesia, during the long-term preparation stage of the imperial troops, they also built solid fortifications in several places that were very suitable for large-scale troops to land, and stationed appropriate troops, attempting to give the Imperial Army a wake-up call at a small cost of casualties.
Ritio is one of the most likely areas for the Chinese to land. "The weak, defensive forces, broad terrain is connected to the very close to Hanzhong Province, and the convenience of leading to other parts of Kalimantan Island from here. Even the Japanese army itself firmly believes that the Chinese choose this place as a landing ground, at least one of the landing grounds is as likely as 80%.
"Maybe the Chinese are coming soon." The heavy rain that had been going on for several days finally stopped. Although the time had just passed 5 o'clock, the captain of the regiment commander, Major General Shiogawa Yahachiro, still came to the Ritio coastal defense line. At the late winter sunrise, the sky was still a little white at 5 o'clock. However, Shiogawa Yahachiro still raised his telescope frequently and urged the radar station to repeatedly detect it.
But he knew very well that the straight-line distance from the Chinese Hanzhong Province is less than 1 kilometer from the Chinese, and the only function of the radar is to not wait for the Chinese to come to discover them.
As for the large-caliber coastal defense artillery that should have been arranged on the coastal defense line and the airplane group that cooperated with the anti-landing warfare, these are all luxury. In the long-term battle with the Chinese, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Japanese army in Southeast Asia to obtain supplies, and the aircraft is decreasing every day. If the cannon breaks the barrel, it can only be thrown away.
The domestic supply line was cut off by the Chinese fleet, the Americans' supply from the Pacific Ocean was cut off by the Chinese fleet cruising near Australia, and the supply fleet from the Malacca was even beaten from the estuary to the sunken position by the Chinese.
There is nothing. The only ones that the infantry corps commanded by Yahachiro Shibugawa and the Indonesian puppet military advisors have are 40 howitzers and few cannons. There is a Japanese airport with two squadron fighter jets in the rear. This is already a lot, because although 85% of the Japanese fighter jets are concentrated in the entire Kalimantan Island of Indonesia, the total number is only more than 400.
The Chinese on the opposite side, the air force on Hanzhong Island alone exceeded this number, and the Southeast Asian province of China on the other side was stationed with more than 3,000 aircraft, which could solve the remnants of the Japanese army's air in one sneeze. Therefore, even if they knew that the Chinese were going to land on the battlefield, they could only defend themselves secretly against guerrillas.
Yankawa Yahachiro didn't know how much damage a infantry corps and Indonesian division could cause to the Chinese people in fortifications, but he knew that he was going to fight to the death here.
"Report! Discover the Chinese plane."[
A staff officer ran in and shouted loudly.
"How much?" asked Yahachiro Shibugawa.
"Radar method sub-burial."
When Shiogawa Yahachiro heard this answer, he understood that the Chinese sent at least 100 fighter jets, and this scale has not been encountered before, but this time, he thought this was the Chinese general attack.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a strong sound of the plane engine came from the air.
"Prepare to vote!!"
The t-53 and H-3 bombers of the 63rd Division, the bomber who performed the bombing mission, opened their own warehouse valves, and the huge guys who had already been prepared were thrown down one by one.
"The j-2 giant bomber weighs 2500k, which is 25 tons, and is specially used to break fortifications..." A H-2 bomber can only carry one, plus other "pharmaceuticals", and a T-35 medium-range bomber can barely carry two, which is a huge improvement obtained from the T-35 modification, especially in terms of range and weight.
Currently, the Imperial medium and long-range bomber, the T-35, is the protagonist, with a large volume and a long range, but it is much more convenient to use than the T-40 Wrath of the Gods strategic bomber. This bombing landing site brought the largest domestic bomber at present.
J-1 bombing is a kind of cloud explosion, mainly used to clear the woods, open landing sites, and sweep the suspicious lurking areas of the enemy.
J-2 bombing is specially used to deal with giant aircraft carriers and to break strong fortification groups. Different species also have strong range killing and anti-armor combat capabilities because they are equipped with females.
After these two types of bombs were thrown down, the battle against Indonesia began to prelude.
Whoosh...boom!!
A huge explosion sound far exceeding any explosion, or even any naval gun, came from the sound of Shiogawa Yahachiro being shocked directly when he was unstable, and the subsequent air waves even rushed in from the observation hole.
"What new weapons did the Chinese use..." Although Shiogawa Yahachiro had heard of a giant bomb that was being developed by the military headquarters, this kind of bombing of the Japanese army has not been used on the battlefield. To be precise, it has been bombed, but there are not many aircraft that can handle it.
Judging from the explosion, sound and shock, he believed that this explosion was at least the explosion effect of a giant explosion of more than 1500k.
"Sure enough, soon a major reported that the coastal defense was bombed violently.
Needless to say, Shiogawa Yahachiro also knew that the defense line was bombed violently.
The fortification group that is more than five kilometers long was built by Yanagawa Yahachiro personally escorted Indonesian civilians and puppet troops, but is now full of holes and bombs left by the Chinese people.
He was lucky in his location and was not directly bombed, but the constant earthquakes made him fall into a terrible buzzing sound. He just looked through the fat glass from the eye viewing hole and found that two or three kilometers nearby had been blown into huge pits. The nearest squadron of the Japanese army's underground fortifications even became a big pit. The Japanese army was definitely spared.
"General, we found that the Chinese were performing airborne in our rear."
With the increasing explosion and bad news, Shibugawa Yahachiro calmed down instead, picked up his telescope and looked towards the horizontal line. This time, he was not disappointed anymore, and saw some steel masts that were the superstructures of the ship.[
"Send a report to Matsui Ishionegu, all the samurai of the 94th Infantry Regiment will be broken for the National Jade." Ten minutes later, a j-2-type giant explosion finally fell, and the fortification where Shiogawa Yahararo was located was blown to the sky. In ten minutes, Shiogawa Yahararo even had just finished wiping his sword and didn't have time to stab into his abdomen...
When Matsui Ishione received the report, the empire's army had already firmly occupied the landing ground. What surprised Wang Jun was that the Japanese army really gave up the idea of driving the "Zhong" team into the sea as stated in the intelligence. First, because Indonesia is a country of thousands of islands, and the strait is narrow, so be careful not to prevent it. Instead of throwing the few troops on the coast and letting the Chinese people wipe out it out at once, it is better to concentrate and rush into the mountains and fight a jungle battle with the Chinese people.
This is also the Japanese army, which was forced to fight, lacking cannons, mountain tanks and aircraft, and even lacking all military supplies that could be imagined, no longer has the conditions for a large-scale decisive battle.
The order Matsui Ishione was carrying out was to drag the Chinese to the greatest extent. According to the military, if it could be dragged to reverse the world situation, it would be the best result.
On January 18, 1947, after four days of battle, the imperial army basically eliminated the Japanese army on West Kalimantan Island. To be precise, it should have driven away. The Japanese army was defeated by the 500,000 troops commanded by Wang Jun. Even if they hid in the ravine, they were surrounded by circles.
In despair, the Japanese army contracted again and retreated deep into the jungle. As a result, the Chinese army began a five-month jungle encirclement and suppression battle.
