On January 18, 1955, the surface of the eastern Zhejiang sea was as calm as the weather forecast, with few clouds in the sky, and the clouds were above 5,000 meters high.
The blue sky and the turbid sea water appear particularly vivid. The combat theater has a sea visibility of more than 10 kilometers, and the wind speed is only 3-4 meters per second. When the clock pointer of
is pointed to 8, according to the time specified in the coordinated combat plan of the three armies, the first firepower preparation of the Air Force and Naval Air Force - Air Assault has begun.
In an instant, my bomber group dropped bombs, and the smoke filled Yijiangshan Island, and the fire flashed, and the smoke filled with gunpowder...
Then, my attacker group bombed Yijiangshan Island, destroying multiple artillery positions and fire points of the Kuomintang army, all of which are vivid in my mind.
These bombings of air bombings were like storms, sweeping across a mountain island, causing considerable casualties to the Kuomintang army.
However, this is just an appetizer. Then, our Air Force bombed three brigades of the 20th Division of the Aviation Force and two brigades of the 11th Division of the Aviation Force were dispatched collectively.
27 -tu-2 bomber 24 Il-10 attack aircraft flew over Yijiangshan Island and carried out the first aerial assault. The bomb fell directly into the central village, important village and lookout village of Yijiangshan Island.
Yel-10 strike aircraft
Bombing Zhang Weiliang, commander of the 60th Regiment of the 20th Division of the Aviation Corps, flew the aircraft to command the air bombing, and the aircraft landing gear was hit by the anti-aircraft artillery of the Kuomintang army.
But he was not afraid at all, and he still calmly flew the plane, blowing up the positions No. 04 and No. 07 of the Kuomintang defenders on Jiangshan Island, and successfully completing the bombing assault mission.
Seeing the aircraft bombing so accurately, many artillery officers and soldiers were not happy: "The first contribution of this battle is to the Air Force. One bomb is equal to the power of dozens of our shells!" "The superiors are biased, why don't we ask our artillery to fight first!"
Infantry who was about to land on the island also complained a little: "Yijiangshan Island asked our Air Force to blow up, and our recoilless cannon has no work." "It saves me from blasting, but I can't make a contribution, I can't stand it."
Despite this, the platoon leader still has a vision. He said to everyone: "The enemy will not be blown up. They hide in caves to defend air."
"Once we log in, they will fight to the death. We must fight resolutely. We must also make great contributions in the war and not lose our jobs. Don't underestimate the enemy's combat effectiveness. The enemy is not a vulnerable paper tiger."
After the Air Force brothers came back, it was time for the artillery brothers to appear on the stage. At 9:00 on January 18, the gunner quickly loaded shells at the firing positions of each artillery battalion, and recalibrated the shooting direction of mud, reef and Leigu Reef.
12:20, with the command of "Prepare---Release!", three red flares soared from the sky above the position. In an instant, 55 cannons fired together, and a mountain island fired into the sky, and the smoke filled the smoke.
After the third fire strike, commander Zhang Aiping rewarded the artillery group.
artillery group fought for 127 minutes as planned, with 7 fire raids and 6 surveillance shootings, destroying the main enemy targets on Jiangshan Island, creating favorable conditions for the landing troops to successfully land and break through.
The positions, firepower points, communication facilities, bunkers, trenches, etc. exposed by the Kuomintang army on the island have been destroyed by me and have lost the ability to counterattack. All the personnel had sneaked into the caves and bunkers and dared not come out.
12:43, the First Battalion of the Navy Landing Crafts set sail. Under the command of the captain Wang Weigang, they formed a double column to transport the 2nd Battalion of the 180th Infantry Regiment, and attacked Nanyijiang Shengli Village, Tian Chongwan and other places.
12:53, the Second Navy Landing Crafts Set sail. Under the command of the captain Zhang Youwen, they formed a double column, transported the 1st Battalion of the 178th Infantry Regiment, and sailed towards Huangyan Reef and Shanzui Village, a river north.
13 at 22:00, the Third Battalion of the Navy Landing Crafts set sail. Under the command of the captain Chen Bojun, it formed a double column to transport the Second Battalion of the 178th Infantry Regiment, and aimed directly at the Yueqing Reef in Beiyijiang.
Our army launches a landing attack on Yijiangshan Island and is about to begin.
Toumenshan Island supports artillery groups and coastal artillery companies, and is destroying and suppressing the Kuomintang positions and fire points on Yijiangshan Island with dense firepower. The shells poured on Yijiangshan Island like hail.
The sound of cannons rumbled, the hillsides and protrusions of Beiyijiang were shrouded in gunpowder, and the 190 and
13:05, the rocket launcher formation quickly entered the sea area 2,500 meters north of Beiyijiang. Captain Wang Yaoyue gave the order, the rocket launcher was launched for the first time. The rocket launched by the 10-Rocket Launcher was shot to Beiyijiang Island at the same time.
A series of fires shone on the sea, and all 180 rockets fell into the sea, without hitting the target on the island. A dense white water column appeared on the sea surface.
Commander Zhang Aiping saw this and immediately used phone to talk to Captain Wang, ordering him to shoot close to the ground, and be sure to make sure that he can hit and then fire!
Ma Guan San Deputy Commander was very anxious. He spoke in Shandong dialect: "What's the matter you're shooting! You've hit all the sea. Isn't this a waste of shells?"
He also issued an order to Captain Wang: "Short the shooting distance to within 2,000 meters and then load the shells and carry out the second launch!"
After receiving the order, Captain Wang Yaoyue turned the formation 90 degrees to the left and converted it into a single column. He loaded the shells for the second time and performed the second volley of at 14 o'clock.
shooting distance is about 1,800 meters, and all 180 rockets hit the target area. Yijiangshan Island exploded into a sea of fire. The Kuomintang military positions and facilities were burning, and the rockets truly exerted their power.
When the rocket launcher formation was first shot, the Nanchang and Jinan ships, under the command of Captain Li Xin, began to shoot in formation at 13:16, and set up a single column to shoot in the movement.
This time, the two frigates used 2 130mm main guns and 2 100mm main guns to reach the 26 chains of Beiyijiang, and opened fire violently at Yueqing Reef.
Under the direct command of Captain Xu Shiping, the frigates "Shenyang" and "Wuchang" occupy favorable shooting positions at 22 chains north of Beiyijiang. At 13:20, they used four 100mm main guns to shoot fiercely at the fire point of Huangyan Reef.
3 Aviation Bombing Battalions 27 Tu-2 bombers and 24 Il-10 fighters from 2 Aviation Bombing Battalions flew over Yijiangshan Island at 14:00 to prepare for the second aviation fire strike.
Then, the 2nd Battalion of the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division of the Air Force Aviation Corps carried out dive bombing on Shanzui Village, Haimen Reef, Huangyan Reef, Yueqing Reef and Wangwang Village at 14:15. The bomber group is separated by 1 minute from the attack group.
14 at 22:00, our Toumenshan artillery group began its 7th fire strike, and quickly carried out continuous and fierce shooting at the maximum speed of fire.
Under the saturated bombing of my aviation , naval gun , land guns, and ship-borne guns, Yijiangshan Island dropped a total of 3127 tons of aviation bombs, with nearly 40,000 shells, totaling 507 tons (an average of 1211 rounds per hectare, 15.3 tons).
This is truly a true "thousands of cannons are fired together"!
14 at 07:07, less than 3,500 meters away from Yijiangshan Island, Zhang Youwen, the captain of the Second Brigade of the Landing Transportation Team, took the opportunity to issue an order: "Rise the tactical flag!" At the same time, a signal flare was fired, indicating that the tactics were launched and implemented immediately.
Why do we need to carry out tactical development 2,000 meters off the island shore? Because this distance exceeds the effective range of the Kuomintang army's small-caliber artillery and heavy machine gun , it is not good for me to deploy too early or too late.
After seeing the command boat sending a "tactical deployment" signal, the captains and squadrons of each boat expanded from the ferry formation (double columns) to the landing formation (horizontal team) at 14:10, forming two formations:
The first wave of the battalion is the first echelon company ( assault company ), and the second wave of the battalion is the second echelon company (reserve team).
Yijiangshan Island landing area is small, and our army strives to invest a large amount of troops in the first echelon. If our army gradually invests troops, it will easily be defeated by the Kuomintang army. This is determined after careful tactical calculations.
The first wave of our landing transport team was 28 landing crafts , and the second wave of 20 landing crafts, carrying 48 infantry platoons and more than 3,000 commanders and fighters, ready to attack and land at any time.
When about 150 meters away from the enemy island shore, the captain sent out a "reduction" signal, and at the same time sent out a "preparing to release the gate" and "artillery fire transfer and fire" signal.
At the same time, the Toumenshan artillery group carried out the last fire strike to support the landing troops' attack at the maximum rate of fire. The smoke of gunpowder was once again filled with gunpowder...
The machine gun on the landing craft was also violently suppressing and shooting at the frontier fire points of the Kuomintang army. Enemy shells kept exploding around our landing craft, motorboat, , and fishing boats, stirring up water columns.
machine gun bullet hit the gate of the landing craft, making a clanging sound. At this time, the enemy's light weapon began to shoot at me.
landing craft team is getting closer and closer to the shore of Yijiangshan Island. However, the Kuomintang army headquarters stationed in Dachen foolishly underestimated the combat effectiveness of our army.
It actually judged in the anti-login combat plan: "If the Communist Army adopts amphibious combat against Yijiangshan Island, the highest level is to carry infantry with wooden motorboats, cover with several 10-tonnage gunboats, and use human sea tactics to break through and log in at night."
In fact, when the troops and fire support teams landed, our army was fully prepared and used various weapons to counterattack the enemy's "counterattack" and annihilate all stubborn enemies!
Our army's troops participated in the battle reached 3 branches, 17 branches, and 28 combat groups, which far exceeded the estimated troops of the enemy.
14 at 29:30, the No. 216 landing craft was the first to land, and the fifth company was the first to land in Beiyijiang!
Company Commander Mao Kunhao led the company to successfully land on Yueqing Reef and immediately launched three flares. And he used an ultra-shortwave intercom to report: "Login successfully and occupy the beach!" Only one person in
5 was injured in a row, and successfully landed 30 seconds earlier than the scheduled time. This crucial 30 seconds will be recorded in history forever!
14 at 31:00, the 6th Infantry Company landed in the recess of Beishan Bay and was attacked by the enemy's firepower on three sides, and our army suffered heavy casualties.
It turned out that the company commander temporarily found that the booked landing point was too steep and difficult to climb. He changed the landing site without asking for instructions, causing the landing craft team to delay the landing time by one minute.
Company Commander's wrong judgment resulted in a one-minute error, which eventually caused dozens of soldiers to pay their precious lives, and the price was quite heavy, reminding us that we cannot delay a minute or a second in the future when we engage in island-grabbing operations.
204 and 244 landing craft were hit by enemy rocket launchers. The first and third rows of the sixth company were successfully landed after more than 20 casualties.
Second row was disembarked by the enemy cluster grenade and killed and injured, with more than 10 casualties. Only one landing craft landed smoothly, but the landing troops were also under three sides of the enemy's firepower, and the situation was very critical.
At this time, the company commander waved his arms and shouted, "Comrades! Don't hesitate, rush up with me!" Under his leadership, more than 100 soldiers rushed towards the first trench of the Kuomintang army and finally seized the first trench of the Kuomintang army.
The 7th Company of the 2nd Echelon Battalion, the 2nd Echelon, logged in after the 5th Company, and the 8th Company logged in to the right of the 6th Company. The battalion command post was led by battalion commander Sun Yong and instructor Ping Tao to land on the right back of the 5th Company, and commanded subordinate companies to attack the 203 Highland.
The first wave of 12 landing crafts of the Second Battalion of the Landing Craft Force maintains the battle course in the bumpy rapids vortex. When about 100 meters away from the enemy shore, captain Zhang Youwen ordered: "Slow down, put the gates in place!" It was already 14:28.
Captain Zhang Youwen is an old soldier of the New Fourth Army in , the anti-Japanese base in northern Jiangsu. His command is calm, resolute and calm, which is completely different from the captain Chen Bojun.
At this time, he said to the battalion commander Xu Guoguang and instructor Zhang Tianshen: "I wish you a successful capture of the 190 highland, wipe out the enemy, and see you back!"
Battalion Commander Xu said to Captain Zhang: "Thank you, brother Navy, help us land a battalion landing!" Before landing, Battalion Commander Xu used a telescope to carefully observe the front terrain of the landing site. From the water surface, it was a steep cliff with a slope of 70 degrees. The rock at the top of
stands out like a huge fist. The shrapnel that exploded on the boulder flew upwards, with little impact on the landing of the ship soldiers.
So, Battalion Commander Xu decided to suspend the range of artillery fire in order to make full use of the support artillery fire and suppress the enemy's first trench.
14 at 33:00, my landing craft No. 210 was docked first.Immediately afterwards, another landing craft carried three companies of the 1st Battalion of the 178th Regiment of the First Echelon and logged in at three landing sites, Haimen Reef, Huangyan Reef, and Shanzui Village.
red signal flare flew into the sky, and the intercom sent a victory message of "the first echelon of the first battalion landed successfully", three minutes later than the scheduled time.
2 Company landed on Huangyan Reef, making full use of the assault power that supports artillery fire and attack aircraft groups, quickly broke through the enemy's auxiliary fortifications, captured the enemy's first trench, and suffered more than 10 casualties. It is a company with relatively smooth attack in the first battalion.
The third company landed in Shanzui Village, and the third row was blocked by the bunkers in the front. The deputy instructor of the company single-handedly used pistols and grenades , and witty and bravely captured two bunkers, opening a passage for the entire company. After landing on the right side of Haimen Reef, the company was blocked by the enemy's water surface firepower, with heavy casualties. The company commander and deputy company commander were injured one after another, the instructor died, the troops lost strong command, and stood still on the frontier of the shore for 4 minutes. After
, three platoons jumped from the left cliff into the trench, destroyed the enemy, and occupied the first trench. The command post of the
Battalion was led by the regiment chief of staff Tang Yingpu, and the second echelon 4th company followed closely behind the 1st company and landed on Haimen Reef and Huangyan Reef respectively. The regiment command post was led by the regiment commander Qi Qinglian and political commissar Yang Mingde, and the second echelon company of the first battalion was implemented.
Our attack aircraft group fought to support the landing soldiers, which was 8 minutes longer than the scheduled assault time. Pilots Liu Dong and Ni Jinsheng's ammunition and fuel have been exhausted. They made another fake dive strafing action, shocking the stubborn enemy and strongly supporting the infantry's attack.
Our attack aircraft group bravely attacked, and took 30 minutes and flew out of the war zone at 14:35. Two bombers were injured by anti-aircraft artillery fire in the Kuomintang army, and six attack aircraft were injured.
When the Kuomintang army Dachendao long-range artillery fired at my landing transport boat, our air force bombing forces used two squadron bombers and one brigade of attack aircraft to suppress the firepower of the Kuomintang army artillery positions.
At this point, the Kuomintang army artillery on Dachen Island lost its ability to counterattack.
Landing Crafts, the first wave of the first battalion, were equipped with the fifth and seventh companies of the second battalion, the first echelon of the 180th Infantry Regiment. At 14:37, he landed in Shengli Village, Nanyijiang and Tianfenwan. Battalion Commander Li Shiwu fired three red flares and reported that "Nanyijiang landed successfully."
fifth consecutive landing on Nanyijiang Victory Slope, and the first row was successfully advanced. The landing craft No. 200 where the second row was located was hit by three rockets, and most of the people on the ship were killed and injured. Only 55 cadres and soldiers were left, including 3 slightly injured soldiers, still fighting.
Platoon leader led the soldiers to charge and eliminate the enemy at the forefront. The commanders and soldiers of the entire company were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrificed. With resolute and brave combat actions, they captured the enemy's first trench in one fell swoop and immediately launched an attack on the Victory Slope.
After 11 minutes of fierce fighting, our army crushed the Kuomintang army's two counterattacks and captured the Victory Slope.
14 at 38:00, the 7th Company landed in the protrusion on the north side of Tianfen Bay. After a row of personnel arrived ashore, they destroyed the enemy bunkers on the shore with quick and courageous actions, and cooperated with the fifth company to repel the two counterattacks of the Kuomintang army.
12 casualties were killed and killed when the second row landed, actively supporting the third row's attack on the first trench.
After the third row of the ship was disembarked, due to poor command, the platoon stayed outside the barbed wire for 4 minutes. He was severely killed and injured by enemy artillery fire. The platoon leader was killed. Only 16 soldiers rushed ashore and launched an attack with the second platoon personnel.
3 After the platoon leader died, correspondent Liu Lichen stood up, picked up the command flag beside the platoon leader, and shouted: "Avenge the platoon leader, I will take the initiative!" He commanded and strengthened the heavy machine guns to the 3rd platoon to cover the entire platoon and attack forward!
The command post of the Second Battalion led the 6th and 8th companies of the second echelon to land in Nanyijiang at 14:53 and entered the battle in time. Martin, the political commissar of the 180th Infantry Regiment Command Post, and Jin Naijian, deputy political commissar, landed in the second echelon.
login command post advance command group, led by Political Commissar Zhang Lang and Chief of Staff Wang Kun, landed on Huangyan Reef, Beiyijiang at 15:00. Immediately command the troops to develop in depth to the south and north rivers, and coordinate the combat operations of the two infantry regiments.
's "deep battle" to capture Beiyijiang Island is actually a strong attack on the main peak - the 190 Highland and the 203 Highland.
Under the command of battalion commander Xu Guoguang and instructor Zhang Tianshen, the first battalion of the 178th Infantry Regiment took on the task of capturing the 190th highland of Beiyijiang.
190 Highlands are the commanding heights and core strongholds of Huangyan Reef, Haimen Reef and Zhongshan Village. The Kuomintang army was condescending and resisted with favorable terrain. In front of the second trench, the Kuomintang army fought a bloody battle with our landing troops.
Yijiangshan Island is a small place, and it is impossible to spread a company of troops when attacking the 190th highlands. Even if it extends directly from the landing point to the 190th Highland, it is just a narrow hillside, and the troops of a battalion are very crowded.
The 4th Squadron of the 4th Battalion of the Kuomintang Army assault, with its strong bunkers, caves, and trenches, blocked and injured our landing troops with side strikes and cross firepower.
The recoil-free cannons, heavy machine guns and artillery shells fired by the Navy gunboat squadron all hit the chest wall of the second trench of the Kuomintang army. The enemy hid in the trenches and leaned against the chest wall, throwing grenades down one by one.
grenades rolled down the mountain, some rolled behind the rock and exploded, some rolled to the first trench and exploded, some rolled to our soldiers, and even rolled to the feet of the soldiers.
fuse squeaked and smoked. After being discovered by the soldiers, they kicked under the rock and exploded, or the soldiers used their butts to smash into the crater.
grenades exploded towards our army's positions like hail, which was shocking and unpredictable, causing many casualties to our army.
The warriors of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion braved the enemy's firepower to climb to the 190th Highland. Holding the weapon tightly in his right hand, climbing the rocks with his left hand, climbing up step by step with all his strength, throwing grenades into the trenches of the Kuomintang army, and blowing the enemy to death in the trenches.
Under the fierce shooting of my automatic weapon, riding on the smoke of the grenade explosion, our army rushed into the second trench of the Kuomintang army.
Just as our soldiers jumped out of the second trench to launch an attack on the Kuomintang army, machine gun bullets suddenly shot out from the front, a series of grenades were thrown out and exploded, and several soldiers rushing in front were blown down.
platoon leader hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Lying down! Go back to the trench and stop attacking!"
It turned out that this was a castle dug deep by the Kuomintang army on the ridge line leading to the 190 Highlands, which only extended 30 cm from the slope.
The bullets fired by our soldiers fell on the top of the bunker and on the ridge. The grenade was thrown over and bounced back by the barbed wire above the bunker, rolling down the slope into the trench, injuring our soldiers and increasing many accidental casualties.
At this time, the 57mm recoilless artillery squad assigned to the second company also arrived at the second trench. They were not easy to climb with heavy loads and were ready to support infantry attacking the bunkers.
2 Company Commander was seriously injured and the deputy company commander died, and only the instructor was still in command.
On this steep terrain, the only way to blow up the enemy bunker is to rely on blasting tube . However, the platoon leader organized heavy machine gun fire cover and sent people to carry out blasting in succession but failed, and several blasting hands were either killed or injured.
Finally, the squad leader carried recoilless cannon on his shoulder, destroying the bunker in one fell swoop, and the troops were able to continue the attack.
With the cooperation and support of the second echelon of the battalion, the Second Company conquered the 190 Highland at 14:55, and the first red flag of our army fluttered in the wind over Beiyijiang.
190 The Kuomintang soldiers in Shanaka Village on the east side of the highland were forced to raise their hands to surrender, and some soldiers fled east. 1. Three consecutive victories were taken advantage of the victory to capture the central village.
15, the command post of the 178th Infantry Regiment led the second echelon battalion to land on Haimen Reef and Huangyan Reef. The commander of the Qi Qing Company ordered the battalion commander Ding Chang'an, the instructor Zhu Bo to quickly join the battle with the 10th Company, expand the results, and climb and attack the east side of the 190 Highland!
The second echelon battalion took action in time, which is the cleverness of our army's battle command. The first and second tier battalions of the regiment were logged in 30 minutes. After landing, they entered the battle, maintaining their military strength advantage, enhancing their attack power, and increasing their attack speed.
But what if the login time interval between the two echelon battalions is only a dozen minutes? That would cause the Second Battalion to be crowded at the landing site and unable to expand, potentially causing more casualties.
Beiyijiang 203 Highland is the highest point of the island. In the permanent reinforced concrete bunker on the southwest side is the headquarters of the Kuomintang army on Yijiangshan Island. The mountains there are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
203 The highland is guarded by the 1st Squadron of the Kuomintang Army Assault Corps, and the defensive position extends from Yueqing Reef to Wangcun, blocking our army's advance.
The 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 178th Infantry Regiment is the Sharp Knife Company of the entire regiment. He has made many achievements in his previous battles and battles, and his combat style is heroic and tenacious and as brave as a tiger. In the landing battle to capture Beiyijiang, this company took the lead and was worthy of being a hero company.
Under the command of deputy regiment commander Mao Zhangmiao , Sun Yong organized heavy machine guns, recoil-free cannons, and flamethrowers to support the fifth and sixth companies to capture Wangwang Village, and then attacked the 203 Highlands.
When the fifth company captured Wangcun, Deputy Commander Mao ordered the company to suspend shooting, reorganize firepower cover before attacking forward.
Heavy machine guns, recoil-free cannons, and flamethrowers scattered throughout Wangcun were concentrated to the rear of the fifth company side and launched fierce shooting at the Kuomintang army fire point, suppressing the enemy's firepower, and supporting the commanders and fighters of the fifth company to attack the 203 Highland.
178 Regiment Deputy Commander Mao Zhangmiao
Battalion Commander Sun Yong took the red flag from instructor Ping Tao and shouted loudly: "Comrades, rush! There is the 203 Heights above, and attacking it will be a victory!" He shouted, climbing up the 203 Heights and leading the soldiers to rush upwards.
KMT army counterattacked with part of its forces, so the two sides launched hand-to-hand combat . Battalion Commander Sun ordered the 7th Company to advance quickly, attack from east of the 203 Highlands, and move closer to the east with the 6th Company to support the 5th Company to annihilate the stubborn enemy.
15:05, the Second Battalion of our 178th Regiment captured the 203 Highland. The correspondent Chen Shounan of the fifth company inserted the red flag on the top of the mountain, and dozens of commanders and soldiers stood on the cement bunker and cheered for victory.
From the Toumenshan command post, you can see that the red flag of the 203 highland flutters in the wind. The officers and soldiers couldn't help but cheer: "Occupy Beiyijiang!" "Look! Two red flags appeared on the 190 and 203 highlands!"
landed from 14:29 to 15:05 to occupy the 203 highlands. It took our army only 36 minutes to land. Our fifth company killed and injured 78 enemies, captured 34 enemies, seized 40 light weapons and 11 artillery pieces. 64 casualties (45 were injured and 19 were killed).
When our army captured the 203 highland of Beiyijiang, the commander of the Jiangshan District of the Kuomintang defender Wang Shengming was burned to death in the bunker. After his death, the Taiwanese authorities commended him as a "hero overcoming difficulties."
Wang Shengming's family took a photo
Soon after, the squad leader of the 6th Company of the Second Battalion, Fu Dechang, , arrested Wang Fubi, the captain of the Fourth Assault Brigade of the Kuomintang Army.
The reactionary stubborn team leader resisted stubbornly in a bunker near the "Regional Command" bunker.
Under the political offensive of our army, he refused to surrender at the beginning and injured several of our army's yelling soldiers. Later, when he heard that our army was going to "pull the explosive pack", he ran out to seize the gun.
Chief of Staff Wang Kun asked, "Are you Wang Fubi??" He stood attentive and replied, "Yes, I am Wang Fubi, the captain of the lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Assault Brigade."
His black pockmarked face was tightly tense, and the dirty blood on his head was still dripping under his eyebrows. Reporting military ranks and positions has become his professional habit.
Wang Kun asked the hygienist to bandage Wang Fubi's wound and wipe the dirty blood on his forehead. He asked again: "Do you know the prisoner policy of our army?!"
"I have heard a lot, I have heard a lot. As early as when the Xu Beng battled in , I was captured by your army. You were very nice to me at that time." Wang Fubi quickly answered.
"Then why didn't you come out early to surrender, order your people to hand over the gun and stop resisting?" Chief of Staff Wang Kun scolded.
Wang Fubi waved his hand quibbling: "Your army's bombing and shelling is too powerful. My command system is completely destroyed. I lost contact with the squadrons and could not issue orders. There is also a military commander who monitored me. It's really amazing. Later, I killed her before escaping... "
"Where is your regional commander Wang Shengming?"
"Your artillery fire is too fierce, and the air force bombs and strafing, I dare not come out. I was injured as soon as I walked to the door of the bunker. I haven't seen Wang Shengming."
In addition to Wang Fubi, there are 3 female prisoners and 2 fishermen in the bunker (an old fisherman and his grandson), who are also wearing gray cotton coats.
According to the prisoner's confession, when our army attacked the 203 highland of Beiyijiang, Wang Shengming, commander of the Jiangshan area of the Kuomintang army, also wanted to organize troops to fight back.
After being suppressed by my artillery fire, he retreated to the bunker and bunker to fight back, and was finally burned to death by our army's flamethrower in the bunker.
The 180th Infantry Regiment is the main attacking force that captured the 180th Height of Nanyijiang. It's a coincidence: the 180th regiment captured the 180th highland.
The Fourth Squadron of the Second National Army Assault Brigade of the Kuomintang Army was stationed in Nanyijiang, with commanding heights of 160 and 180. Victory slope, safety slope and consolidation village are solid support points for the Kuomintang army.
Since Nanyijiang is located on the back of the Toutumenshan artillery group, the defenders suffered fewer bombs and shells than the Beiyijiang defense forces, and their firepower points were not destroyed much, causing certain casualties to the landing troops.
The 5th and 7th companies of the 1st Echelon of the 2nd Battalion, with the cover and support of the Navy Gunboat Brigade, launched an attack on the Victory Slope. The Kuomintang army shot fiercely at me in the bunker.
The hillside is steep and bare, which is not conducive to climbing, shooting and throwing grenades. The soldiers climbed up and slid down. He Cailin, the second platoon leader of the
5 company, was quick to learn, climbed up a big stone, vigilantly into the cracks of the stone, went around the edge of the bunker, jumped into the traffic ditch, stuffed two grenades into the shooting hole, and eliminated five stubborn enemies.
At this time, the Kuomintang army located on the 160th highland counterattacked the Victory Slope along the inclined trenches and threw grenades, but was repelled by our platoon.
New soldier Bi Yanchang went in the wrong direction during the attack and rushed toward the enemy artillery position. He was alone, fearless, and took a bayonet to eliminate many enemies, and 5 people were stabbed to death.
When the troops arrived near the 160th Highland, Xu Wenxue, the instructor of the 5th Company, was hit in the head by an enemy bullet and died heroically.
soldiers were in a state of grief and anger, shouting: "Avenge the instructor, rush!" At 15:07, the 5th Company warriors captured the 160th high ground and inserted the red flag to the commanding heights.
The 6th and 8th companies of the 2nd Echelon of the 2nd Battalion landed in Nanyijiang at 14:53, and then entered the battle, replaced the 5th and 7th companies of the 1st Echelon, and launched an attack on the 180th Highland of Nanyijiang.
Two companies fought fiercely with the stubborn enemy for more than 10 minutes while attacking the Announced Gonggang Village. The sixth company captured the Announcement, and the eighth company captured Gonggu Village, causing great casualties. At around 16 o'clock, the battle to win the commanding heights ended successfully.
15:48, the Second Battalion of our 180th Regiment planted a red flag on the 180th Heights of Nanyijiang. The 5th and 7th companies were ordered to turn into defense and eliminate the remaining enemies in the cave.
htmlAt around 15:00 on January 18, the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Echelon Battalion of the 178th Regiment, led by battalion commander Yao Genlin and instructor Zhu Bo, landed and assembled at the Haimen Reef of Beiyijiang, fought in depth with the 10th and 8th Company, and launched an attack on the southeast corner of Beiyijiang.17:30, the eighth company captured Dongshan Village, the tenth company captured Dongshantou, and then attacked Liuzhongpo with tenth company and attacked Sansan Reef with eleventh company. At 17:10, the Eighth Company and the Tenth Company attacked from north to south and captured Gu Village.
The 6th and 8th companies of the 2nd Echelon of the 180th Regiment launched an attack on the remaining enemies in the caves and castles of the "Safe Slope" and "Consolidation Slope", and ended the battle from 17:25 to 33.
14:30, the first echelon of the People's Liberation Army began to log in. By 17:33, the highlands and surface positions of the North and South Yijiang Islands were all occupied. The People's Liberation Army only took 183 minutes to
. The main assault direction of our landing troops was from west to northwest, and the auxiliary assault on land was from northeast of the Beihe River and west of the Nanhe River.
Therefore, there are still many caves on the hillside south of the top ridge line (called the back slope), and the isolated and stubborn enemies in the castle have not been completely eliminated.
So, the second echelon battalion of the 178th Regiment (third battalion) entered the "Houpo" to clear away the remaining enemies. This was a special battle.
Our third battalion heavy machine gun company, which occupied the 203 highland of Beiyijiang, concentrated its firepower to attack the enemy firepower points on the hillside of the northeast corner of Nanyijiang with 6 heavy machine guns.
The commanders and soldiers of the Eighth Company were shot at me from behind by the enemy in the cave and castle on the anti-slope in Beiyijiang, and a large number of soldiers were killed and injured.
Company Commander immediately ordered: "Stop moving forward and stay on standby." At this time, the warrior rushing in front immediately jumped into the nearby bullet crater after hearing the order. The warrior in the middle grabbed the rock next to him and hid, and the warrior behind squatted on the slope.
Company Commander quickly organized light machine guns, submachine guns, to block and suppress the enemy's firepower, and ordered the soldiers to use the terrain to approach the bunker and drop grenades into the shooting hole.When the grenades in the local fort were about to explode, the cunning enemy immediately ran from the bunker to take refuge in the cave.
grenade exploded in the bunker and the troops continued to rush forward. At this time, the enemy in the cave crawled back to the bunker, set up a light machine gun and continued to shoot at me, causing dozens of my soldiers to be injured and killed.
Soon, our army found a hole on one side of the rock on the hillside leading to the bunker. The company commander ordered the blaster to throw a small explosive bag, blowing up the passage of the bunker and blocking the hole. As a result, all the stubborn enemies were buried in the cave and suffocated to death.
Tenth consecutive line start from the 190th high ground and hit the back slope. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were forced to stay on the slope and unable to move forward.
The enemy's bunker is divided into two layers: upper and lower levels. When I attacked the lower level, the enemy climbed to the upper level and hid and shot at me with a dark hole. Seeing this, the company commander of the 10th Company commanded two rocket launchers to aim and shoot, and killed all the enemies in the bunker.
After the enemy's firepower point in the bunker was destroyed by me, the remaining enemies in the cave continued to shoot at me. There are chest walls and perforations outside the hole, and grenades cannot be thrown into the hole, so our army had to fire rockets to destroy them.
In response to the unsatisfactory situation of the fight against the purge, Zhang Aiping, who landed on the island, gave instructions, requiring the full play to the role of Fire Spitfire .
So, in the battle to eliminate the remaining enemies, the Fire Spitfire showed its skills. Many dead corners of caves that cannot be reached by infantry bullets and grenades were solved by the Fire Spitfire.
In the battle, the fire spitsmen burned 45 castles, 16 caves, 2 air raid shelters, and 3 thatched houses, with a total of 66 targets, killing more than 200 enemies, and 46 casualties in our fire spits (35 injured and 11 sacrificed).
At dusk on January 18, with the assistance of the fire spitting hands, the 3rd Battalion of the 178th Regiment launched an attack on the remaining enemies of Dongchang Village and Shougu Village. At around 1 a.m. on the 19th, Shougu Village was occupied.
to around 2 a.m. on the 19th, after 8.5 hours of fierce fighting (from 17:33 to 2 a.m. the next day), our army cleared all the hidden enemies.
In the battle to eliminate the remaining enemies, our army paid a great price. The 60th Infantry Division scored 788 casualties, exceeding the sum of the landing on the beach and the multiple battles that took the commanding heights. This is the most important factor that caused our army to suffer more casualties than Chiang Kai-shek's army.
How to eliminate the remaining enemies at the lowest cost after landing on the island is an important topic that needs to be carefully studied in the future battle to seize the island.
In the entire Battle of Yijiangshan Island, our army wiped out 1,086 defending enemies (519 enemies killed and 567 enemies captured), seized 27 artillery pieces of various types, 87 light and heavy machine guns, 327 rocket launchers, 334 guns of various types, more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition and a large number of military supplies.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies of our East China Military Region took 1,417 casualties (393 killed and 1,024 injured) in the landing operation of the capture of Yijiangshan Island, and the casualties ratio between the enemy and us was 1 to 1.3.
