The soldier hopped two steps in the water, caught up and grabbed the strap of one rocket package, and looked again. The other two rockets had sunk to nowhere, so he took four rockets with him unwillingly. , Turn back and continue on your way.
"You still have to pick it up. If there is a machine gun on the shore, you will be honored by now..."
……
凌晨5时,58师三个步兵团及轻装备上岸。携带的武器包括:步机枪、手榴弹、冲锋枪、40毫米火箭筒、掷弹筒、红箭-1反坦克导弹、60毫米迫击炮。
Equipment such as heavy mortars, howitzers, and cannons cannot be disembarked from the beach yet.On this beach, whether it is a car or a cannon, it will definitely sink into the mud as soon as it lands.
These heavy equipment and towing trucks are loaded on the landing ship behind, waiting for further instructions.
"The tank battalion heading for Xuejia has turned around and is expected to pass through Chiayi again at 6 am. If they continue to advance north, their tank battalion and infantry regiment will reach Yunlin around 7 o'clock." It means merged. This is a telegram sent directly from Xiamen.
According to the current speed that the landing force is developing inland, the 7th Division and the amphibious tank regiment will fight the reserve team of the national army near Yunlin around 58 o'clock.
"The sky is bright, you must be prepared for air strikes!"

Taichung, near Ching Chuan Kang Airport.
"Old Liang, how is the situation?"
The 10 members of the solution four and solution five teams reunited.Li Fuqiang, leader of the Fourth Solution Team, took three team members to illuminate the target in Hemeizhen, and two team members to illuminate the Zhuoxi Bridge. After completing the task, the two teams returned immediately, and ran back to the vicinity of the airport before dawn.
"We have been observing, but have not received an order for irradiation." Lao Liang said.
Li Fuqiang looked at his watch, it was getting late and it was dawn. "It stands to reason that our bombers will not be able to come over after dawn, and now..."
"Hong Wu got in touch!" The correspondent lowered his voice and shouted.
The Qingquangang Airport in 1953 was not the large comprehensive air force base with a 4000-meter runway, but a 2000-meter single-runway airport in central Taiwan.However, Qingquangang Airport is only 70 kilometers away from the landing beach of our army, and the plane takes off and turns a corner. The radar system of the anti-aircraft missile may not be able to respond in time, so this small airport has to be dropped first.
During the time when the Jiesi and Jiewu teams were hidden and on standby, two waves of 4 F-86s had taken off from Qingquangang Airport, and now a large number of F-84s and F-86s on the airport have been pulled out of the hangar. The ground crew was busy, and it seemed that they were preparing to release a large fleet.
When the control tower of the airport exploded suddenly, all the officers and soldiers at the airport were wondering what happened. Did someone pile up explosives on the tower?
The second, third, and fourth explosions occurred on the airport runway respectively. The three large craters in the center of the runway announced that Ching Chuan Kang Airport would not be able to resume use within a day or two.The last guided bomb flew towards a large row of planes that were refueling and bombing beside the airport runway. No matter how many planes could be bombed, since the bomb was brought out, it had to be thrown out.
"These five bombs exploded in five places respectively. How did they do it?" Lao Liang carried an irradiator on his shoulders, and the guided bombs flew towards the row of planes in the scope. The explosion directly destroyed three or four planes, revealing The fuel ignited on the ground and is now devouring the adjacent National Army fighter jets one by one.
"You forgot, we adjusted the identification code for the illuminator at the beginning?" Li Fuqiang said, "The identification code is used to let the bomb identify the way..."
……
Taixi, Santiao Port.
This fishing port is called Sanjo Port because it really has only three embankments.
In the past few decades, the fishermen in the village have bought and transported stones from the quarries in the central mountainous area little by little in their free time, and finally built several piers where the fishing boats in the village can dock.
In order to prevent the People's Liberation Army from infiltrating and landing here, the Santiaolun Village on the shore was forced to move inward by the national army. There are more than 100 defenders in the evacuated Santiaolun Village.At ten o'clock in the morning, a battalion of the First Marine Division launched an assault on Santiaolun Village in an assault boat. After a while of beatings in the dark, the defenders were driven out in a daze.
To the north of Sanjo Port are the three landing points of the battle in turn, and the sound of guns from the north can still be heard from time to time in the port area.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, two huge ship shadows appeared in the sea outside Sanjolun Village. They were two [-]-ton tank landing ships.Soldiers of the First Marine Division used walkie-talkies and signal flags to command frequently, and the landing ship swayed left and right. It took half an hour to finally squeeze the bow of the ship between the first and second embankments.The landing ship with a length of more than [-] meters was drilled in the fishing port, and the scene was quite funny.The bow of the ship has already kissed the pier, but the stern of the ship has not entered the embankment at all.
After confirming contact with the pier made of earth and stone, the bow door of the landing ship was opened, the springboard was lowered, and the first truck moved out of the cabin bit by bit, and drove onto the three clay and gravel roads in Lun Village.What can be seen on the vehicle is a medium and low-altitude search radar wrapped in canvas - this is the radar & command vehicle of the Hongqi-2 missile system.
红旗-1/2系统的标配是5台车,登陆时临时增加到7辆车——再加了2辆运载弹药的卡车。3500吨级的坦克登陆舰装下2套导弹系统、14辆卡车之后还有些剩余空间,就装了几门四联装14.5毫米高射机枪。
What was brought up from this small fishing village was the key to supporting the air defense umbrella for the landing troops.After the air defense umbrella is propped up, the artificial dock that can be directly unloaded by large landing ships can be built with peace of mind.The artificial wharf was built successfully, and heavy artillery, tanks, and a large amount of materials could be successfully transported across the sea to the island.
Due to the loss of the Air Force's highest command organization and mysterious attacks on some airports, only a small number of aircraft of the National Army Air Force flew to the landing site at 5:[-] a.m., focusing on reconnaissance, and some aircraft made some harassing attacks.This is almost the biggest contribution made by the National Army Air Force in the entire battle.
Chapter 41, how should the outcome be predicted?
"American cruiser sunk!"
This is the intelligence intercepted by the radio listening station at 4 o'clock in the morning on April 12.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, patrolling in the Taiwan Strait, monitoring the evacuation of the Air Force Tu-2 reconnaissance type of the US ship that was shot.After dawn, the U.S. Air Force and the National Air Force may come to make trouble.At 6 o'clock in the morning, the radio listening station intercepted the telegram of the US military.This telegram does not need to be reported to the front finger and then let the 60 center decipher, the listening station can recognize the meaning of the telegram by itself.
The content of this telegram is-three shorts, three longs and three shorts that are repeated repeatedly.It means "SOS".
This is the international general distress signal at sea formally established by the International Radiotelegraph Convention Organization in 1908.
After the missile attack of Tu-4, the breach on the port side of the "Manchester" cracked into the water, and the hull was tilted by the water.The Cleveland class has the disadvantage of being too narrow and having a high center of gravity. It usually rolls more than other ships of the same class, and the tilt of the hull causes the breach above the waterline on the port side to become the main force of water injection.To make matters worse, the first two rounds of missile attacks have made the watertight compartment of the "Manchester" less complete, and it is impossible to seal the water in a certain compartment.
The isolated "Manchester" became more and more crooked, and by 6:[-] am it was completely hopeless.
The Air Force and Navy gnawed away at the combined fleet of the U.S. military and the national army in the northern Taiwan Strait. In the southern Taiwan Strait, a small-scale naval battle also broke out at 5 am.
The National Army Fleet moored in Kaohsiung Harbor received a telegram from Chief of the Navy Ma Jizhuang to "set sail to defend the strait immediately". Although the ink was stained for a while, two escort destroyers "Taichang" and "Taifu" ran out at three o'clock in the morning , to drive into the Taiwan Strait, ready to intercept the landing fleet between Penghu and Taiwan Island.Although the escorting destroyers moved in at full speed, the top speed of the two ships was only 21 knots. When they sailed from Keelung to the sea off Tainan, they were targeted by four missile boats from the No. 1 Squadron of Speedboats.
The missile boats transformed from P4 small torpedo boats each carried two "Haiying"-2. The squadron leader ordered the missiles to be launched in two batches, and the first round of shooting blew up the leading "Taichang".
The "Taichang" and the "Taifu" were very close together, and the missiles of the 1st Squadron of the missile speedboat could not distinguish the target. Got two.
The "Taichang" ammunition depot, which was hit by only one missile, exploded. The warship was instantly broken into two pieces, and the mast flew into the sky and was thrown into the sea more than 50 meters away. The "Taifu" was hit by two missiles, and the entire turret of the front main gun was lifted up and then tilted on the deck, but the ammunition depot below was fine.The chimney in the middle was blown down, and the main engine under the chimney shut down, but after 10 minutes, it was just paralyzed in the sea and did not sink.
导弹快艇1中队观察了许久,等“太常”号的两截舰体没入海中,才对“太福”号再射了两枚“海鹰”-1。4月12日清晨,导弹快艇1中队带着击沉2艘护航驱逐舰的战绩以及2枚没用完的导弹返回澎湖湾。
……
“4月12日凌晨1时至6时,海军和空军联合击沉4艘舰队驱逐舰和1艘巡洋舰,海军独立击沉2艘护航驱逐舰。现澎湖海峡完全清净,无敌舰活动。”
The battle report sent to Beijing by the Xiamen former finger.
The Beijing War Situation Center is very quiet now, and no matter what battle reports come over, they will no longer cause exclamations.
It was already bright, and there were a few morning birds chirping in Zhongnanhai in mid-April, but no one spoke other than that.Tang Hua boiled another pot of coffee, took a sip for himself, Secretary Deng took a cup, and the Prime Minister took a cup.The chairman and commander-in-chief asked the guards to replace their teacups with new tea leaves and boiling water.
Both the chairman and the prime minister are cultivators... staying up all night is normal.After the founding of New China, the chairman had a comfortable period of time. After the outbreak of the Korean War, his life pattern was the same as that of the war years. He often wrote manuscripts and looked at maps before going to bed until dawn.People like Tang Hua who only stay overnight occasionally, now they have to rely on coffee to survive.
When the first meeting of the Taiwan Campaign was held to discuss the plan last year, Lin Sanhu said that he was most worried about US warships and aircraft coming to make trouble.If a small fleet of the U.S. Navy rushes into the Taiwan Strait and bombards the landing fleet with cannons, the landing campaign will fail.
"The troubles at sea have been completely resolved, and the victory in the Taiwan campaign is just around the corner," the Premier said.
"After dawn, the U.S. Air Force and Chiang Kai-shek's air force will appear. If Commander Liu's air force can use fighter jets to cover bombers to forcefully break through interception and launch missiles to attack sea targets, then we will truly achieve 'control the sea with air'." Tang Hua Said, "In addition, I don't know if the Soviet Pacific Fleet has information on American submarines."
Li Kenong: "In the name of training exercises, the Soviet Navy sent three warships to the east of the Osumi Strait. There should be a certain possibility of discovering American submarines heading south."
Tang Hua lowered his head and blew the coffee in the teacup.The Soviet Union was quite willing to help this time. Although it was not a direct support operation, it sent 1 oil tanker and 2 destroyers to watch out.There are not many submarines in the Seventh Fleet. The main task is to secretly guard the Soviet Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok, and stay in the port otherwise. ——Submarines do not have much deterrent capability and visual effects when sailing. They are not as good as tall surface ships in terms of scaring people. It is nothing to help defend Taiwan without submarines.
But...the Navy's current anti-submarine capabilities are indeed weak. The most effective anti-submarine ships are the four submarine hunters transferred by the Soviet Union. Although Ships 4 and 31 were originally British Hua-class anti-submarine frigates, the sonar and depth bombs had already been dismantled when they were decommissioned and transferred to whaling ships. When China bought them back, these two third-hand small broken ships were just empty shells.
Tang Hua: "Prime Minister, has the United States already taken the bait of your plan?"
