Time flies, and three days have passed in a blink of an eye.

During these three days, the naval battle did not end. The island army's set of shuttle bombing tactics made the Allies miserable, and the casualties were still expanding.

In this battle, Jisaburo Ozawa made a big splash.

The so-called shuttle bombing actually means that the carrier-based planes use the land-based airports in the Netherlands East Indies to land. After the carrier-based planes complete their combat missions, they do not need to return to the aircraft carrier. Straight to the next battlefield.

The core of this tactic is that carrier-based aircraft can carry out ultra-long-distance raids, which greatly improves the combat flexibility of carrier-based aircraft.

The combined strength of the three fleets of the Allied Forces is definitely at least one-third higher than that of the Island Army. If they split up to attack, the Island Army will not be able to make a profit in front of any fleet, but this interspersed bombing tactic is very good. Linking the carrier-based aircraft with the land aviation aircraft on the island, all the aircraft can pounce on a fleet at the same time.

This method of concentrating all the superior forces cannot be tolerated by any fleet. Moreover, the allied forces do not know who the island army will choose for the next round of raids, and it is impossible to mobilize the superior air force to defend. Supported by aircraft, the enemy has already completed the attack and returned victorious.

Therefore, as a result, the island army advanced all the way, and the Allied forces had to flee in a hurry and jumped out of the battlefield.

Vientiane Command.

At the gate, Chen Shaokuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Gui Yongqing, Chief of Staff, Xiao Guang, Political Commissar, Xie Chen, Commander of the Third Fleet, and Zhu Jinyuan, Commander of the Third Division of the Marine Corps, are walking out of the headquarters.

They were not bothered by the unfavorable factors of the current naval battle situation, and they walked out happily one by one.

They had already arrived in Vientiane yesterday, and they stayed in the headquarters for more than ten hours. It seemed that the military meeting was over, and they were about to go to their respective battlefields.

After seven days of day and night, the First Fleet and the Third Fleet arrived at the scheduled location ahead of schedule. Under the cover of underwater submarines and land-based aviation, they were completely invisible to the enemy and successfully completed the first stage of the deployment task.

Just as everyone got into the cars in the yard and was about to go to their respective barracks, Huang Jie, the former chief of the enemy's general staff, walked out quickly and ordered everyone to return to the headquarters immediately. If something unexpected happened, the battle plan might need to be readjusted.

The group of people did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly got out of the car and walked into the headquarters again.

After everyone found their seats in front of the circular conference table according to their positions, Jiang Haoran held up the telegram in his hand and said: "Just received an urgent report from the squad, the enemy has already started preparing for Hainan Island a year ago. The defense of the coastline, the fortifications are far more than what we estimated, and they are as simple as half a year, so the battle plan needs to be re-evaluated."

As soon as Jiang Haoran's words fell, Zhu Jinyuan, the commander of the third division of the marine corps, stood up and said loudly: "Sir, no matter how strong the enemy's fortifications are, all the soldiers of my third division will break open their tortoise shells and rush up. I, Zhu Jinyuan, personally lead the charge and promise to complete the mission."

"And I." Wang Teng, Major General of the Second Division of the Marine Corps beside Zhu Jinyuan, also stood up, "I will also take the Second Division up personally, and promise to complete the task of grabbing the beach."

Jiang Haoran nodded and said: "You two are brave, but the victory I want is to minimize casualties, so the tactics must be adjusted, and it is still a major adjustment. You two, please sit down first."

Jiang Haoran passed the telegram in his hand to Chen Shaokuan at the bottom right, and said, "Brother Houfu, take a look, this is just sent back by the squad."

Chen Shaokuan accepted the telegram suspiciously, glanced at it quickly, his face immediately changed drastically, then he got up and strode towards the huge map behind the rostrum, looked at it for a long time and then turned around and said: "Boss, if this waterway really exists, Baibu is the best place to land, and we can attack Hainan Island with little effort."

Jiang Haoran said: "Yes, I think so too. As for the authenticity of the waterway? I don't think there is any problem. After all, this is from the mouth of the commander-in-chief of the Qiongya Column, and Ma Baiju's ancestors are Hainanese for generations. Those who have been drowned in the long river of history The local people passed it down from generation to generation, which is more reliable than documented records, so I don’t think there is any problem with the authenticity.”

Chen Shaokuan's eyes brightened and he said excitedly: "Then take this place as the main attack direction, and the other three landing points will all be feints, and the cover surprise soldiers will come to the island from here and join forces, and the recovery of Hainan is just around the corner."

Jiang Haoran said: "But the team currently has no way to mark this waterway."

"Hi..." Chen Shaokuan slapped his thigh and said, "Boss, we have submarines, what kind of waterway do you want them to mark?"

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Yes, they have submarines. As long as this channel is real, they can let the submarine find this channel in advance to complete the piloting task. It is understandable that Lin Long and his team lack sea knowledge. , Why didn't I think of it.

Once this problem is solved, all problems will cease to be problems.

The original plan did not require too many adjustments. The First Fleet continued to carry out beach landings according to the original plan, while the Third Fleet was completely dispatched to secretly grab the beach from Baibu.

The seven aircraft carriers are all equipped with armed helicopters, and the air part is handed over to the land airports in Vientiane and Vietnam. The straight-line distance from Jiuzhen Port in Vietnam to Hainan is only more than 200 kilometers. The aircraft at the land airport can completely cover the entire coastline of Hainan Island. , Escorting the Third Fleet is no problem.

The enemy's Baibu was almost undefended, and the landing force mainly used helicopters to drop down. This important task was handed over to Yao Menglin's Spike Special Forces and Zhang Linghu's Fourth Special Warfare Division.

The special warfare division has been reorganized into a special warfare group army. Of course, the fourth brigade of the original special warfare division is also rising. Zhang Linghu was promoted to the commander of the fourth special warfare division. The strength of the soldiers, but the products produced by the special warfare divisions are all high-quality goods, and their [-] troops are equivalent to an ordinary marine division.

Helicopter rappelling is also the strong point of special warfare divisions. Of course, the vanguard must be a sharp blade that can overcome obstacles and blaze a trail of blood.Therefore, Jiang Haoran urgently transferred them to take on the main attack mission this time.

At this point, all equipment, weapons, and sources of soldiers are in place, and the rest is just waiting for the arrival of supplies.

For such a big battle, the required supplies are unknown. If a large amount of supplies are mobilized prematurely, it will inevitably alarm the island army agents along the way. Therefore, the supplies have become the last preparations.

The national army now has strong sea transportation and air transportation capabilities, and there is a Yunnan-Vietnam Railway that goes directly to Yunnan to support it. Logistics is not a problem at all.

A large-scale beach landing battle has already begun, and the full-line attack is waiting five days later.
