On June 20, 1943, at the same time that the Western Fleet landed in Singapore, the Chinese Navy's Yellow Sea and East China Sea Fleets also started the battle to recover Taiwan Island.

At the military and political meeting at the beginning of the year, Jiangdong, taking into account the domestic and international situations, asked the navy to regain Hainan Island and Taiwan Island before this autumn.

The Army Corps will not provide naval support for the time being.

Hainan Island has been successfully recovered, and the Japanese base commander Fukuda Ryozo was captured alive.

For the whole of China, only the island of Taiwan has not been recovered. The task of the navy is to recover the treasure island and realize the complete reunification of the nation.

The Yellow Sea and East China Sea fleets have made full preparations for this final battle, and they will deploy six marine divisions to land on the island.

The main opponent of the two fleets is Japan's Tenth Front.

Japan lost China, lost Korea, and was about to be completely blockaded. Under such circumstances, in order to better defend the homeland, they formed multiple new front armies, among which the Tenth Front Army stationed on Taiwan Island was the main force.

The Tenth Front Army is mainly responsible for the defense of Penghu, Taiwan, Ryukyu, Okinawa and Sakishima Islands.

The Japanese naval admiral and island governor, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, served as the commander-in-chief of the Tenth Front.

The Tenth Front Army has 6 divisions and 9 independent mixed brigades. It is said to have an army of 200,000, but in fact it is only about 150,000.

There are three divisions and seven independent mixed brigades stationed in Taiwan, and the 32nd Army mainly defends Okinawa.

The number of Japanese troops on Taiwan Island is between 90,000 and 100,000. Except for the 9th, 12th and 50th Divisions, which have relatively stronger combat effectiveness, the other seven independent mixed brigades are basically local security forces, and their combat effectiveness is hard to describe.

The soldiers of the independent infantry brigade are mainly from Taiwan, and the officers of the independent infantry brigade are Japanese or Taiwanese who have received officer training in Japan.

The Battle of Saibei a few years ago was the most glorious moment for the Japanese Taiwan Mixed Brigade, and their combat effectiveness was also the strongest at that time.

After Taiwan was ceded in 1895, after decades of enslavement education, some local young people were proud to join the Japanese army and tried their best to express themselves on the battlefield.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the **** mixed brigade was very high in the past, and it even severely damaged Han Mo.

The real **** mixed brigade was also killed in the Battle of Saibei. Although it was reorganized later, its combat effectiveness was completely different.

40 years ago, many people in Taiwan believed that China would be destroyed by the Japanese, so they worked so hard for it.

After the Battle of Saibei, the Japanese army suffered consecutive defeats and had no chance of a comeback.

The people of Taiwan are not fools. Under such circumstances, they are neither willing nor willing to sacrifice their lives with the little devil.

Most of the soldiers in the seven independent mixed brigades on the island were forcibly recruited and had no fighting spirit.

Zhang Weigong and Zheng Fenghua knew this information during the preparation stage of the battle.

The two fleets dispatched six marine divisions and were fully confident in completing the task of recovering Taiwan Island.

The haze of the battle is getting heavier day by day, and the island has become tense and depressing, with undercurrents surging.

Chinese agents were gathering intelligence in various cities and forming guerrilla groups. The Japanese Special High School adopted various countermeasures. The two sides had fought countless back and forths.

The time has finally arrived on June 20, and everyone can feel that this is "that day".

In the early morning of June 20, intelligence from all aspects flew into the Taiwan Governor's Office like snowflakes.

Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Tenth Front and governor of Taiwan, had a sleepless night.

When he received the exact news that China would officially launch a landing campaign at dawn, he could no longer sit still.

The Japanese military and political officials in the Governor's Mansion hurriedly walked with worried expressions on their faces.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi turned around a few times, and finally rubbed his temples and asked:

"What's going on with the Extra-High School Course? Hasn't the landing site of the Chinese Navy been determined yet?"

Major General Yamaoka, Chief of Staff of the Tenth Front Army, was so busy that he quickly came over and said:

"Your Majesty General, what is certain at present is that the Chinese will definitely land from Keelung!"

"As for whether they will land from other directions, we don't know yet!"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi seemed a little angry, and he roared:

"Taiwan is so big, the Chinese will definitely land from places other than Keelung!"

"Baga, this is the most basic military common sense!"

If we cannot determine where the Chinese will land, we cannot mobilize troops for defense in advance.

Unlike Juichi Terauchi, Hasegawa Kiyoshi planned to conduct an anti-landing operation.

But now it seems that the anti-landing operation may not be able to continue.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi was so anxious that he could only move the main force to the most likely landing points for the Chinese.

At about 3 a.m., he left the brightly lit Governor's Mansion and drove to Keelung with his chief of staff.

The sky is getting hazy and the vision is getting better and better.

On the hillock of the seaside position, Kiyoshi Hasegawa looked at the sea with a telescope.

At 6 a.m., the sky was completely bright and the sea was unobstructed.

The Japanese soldiers of the 9th Division can now see the sea clearly without the help of telescopes.

Many people stuck their heads out of bunkers and fortifications and looked cautiously at Deep Blue.

The sea breeze blows, the waves bloom, and the waves remain the same.

The scene in front of me was exactly the same as what I had seen in the past, and it was even a bit pleasing to the eye.

But at this time, Kiyoshi Hasegawa and all the soldiers of the Japanese 9th Division were in no mood to pay attention to the vast scenery of sea and sky.

They opened their eyes wide and wanted to cast their sights farther away.

Kiyoshi Hasegawa looked most carefully and was the first to discover the anomalies on the sea.

When the scene in the telescope came into his mind, Hasegawa Kiyoshi couldn't help but take three steps back.

The officers had telescopes, and when they first saw the scene on the sea, they were all stunned.

Many people, like Kiyoshi Hasegawa, were so frightened that they took several steps back.

I saw thousands of warships of various types on the green sea undulating slightly with the waves. It seemed like a steel barrier on the deep sea. Even though it was several miles away, its power made the devils on the island physically weak.

Trembling slightly.

"Chinese Navy!"

"Enemy warship!"

"Amaterasu, why are there so many!"

Exclamations spread throughout every position!

The enemy's warships covered the entire sea surface. As the distance got closer, the Japanese soldiers gradually saw the appearance of the warships clearly.

Battleships, destroyers, cruisers, frigates, landing craft and super aircraft carriers in the rear.

The outline gradually becomes clearer.

"fire!!!"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi ordered loudly after he stabilized his body.

Such a long distance can only be reached by the fort built a month ago.

In order to defend Taiwan Island, Hasegawa Kiyoshi collected 6 coastal defense guns with a caliber of 300 to 400 mm from other places.

These guns were deployed in port cities, and there are two here in Keelung.

It was precisely because of the support of these super-large-caliber coastal defense artillery that Hasegawa Kiyoshi planned an anti-landing war.

If the enemy's landing ships are so dense and the two shore defense guns fire at the same time, they will surely achieve unexpected results.

The order was quickly passed to the fort, and the cannon roared instantly.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi's attention has been diverted from the fort, and his eyes are attracted by the fighter formations on thousands of ships of various types.

Fighters and fighter-bombers flew over the fleet at extremely fast speeds, and were over the fort in the blink of an eye.

Kiyoshi Hasegawa watched with his own eyes as the enemy fighter plane threw two heavy aerial bombs under the wings into the turret.

His scalp was numb and his teeth were clenched.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Boom boom boom..."
