Zengbing Shi Jue and Ma Jizhuang felt that if this report was reported, at least Lao Jiang could not defend Zhoushan. It would be better for him to understand it himself, then retreat to the point of retreating and retreating to Taiwan. This ghost place is really unacceptable, and it is incomparable to Taiwan. There are no such things as the Jiyuan Restaurant, Cinema, etc., and the whole countryside is just a countryside.

The current Taiwan First Fleet has no sense of being the first to come to Zhoushan, and its morale is as low as a frightened bird. The last air strike seemed to be vivid in my mind. Ma Jizhuang even dreamed of being air strikes. So he issued an order that all warships must be on duty 24 hours a day, and the boiler is ready to make fires and escape from the port at any time. All ships covered the branches and leaves of grass with camouflage nets. Shi Jue densely arranged a large number of observation posts on the Zhoushan Islands, hoping to detect the air strike planes as soon as possible. He also issued an alarm to the First Fleet and the garrison on the island.

Recently, the Zhoushan Islands are so quiet that the People's Liberation Army has not been attacking for a long time, but occasionally there will be several fighter jets protecting a 5-aircraft surveillance plane to take photos. Shi Jue and Ma Jizhuang are more experienced. They know that this is the opponents who are accumulating strength. According to the past lessons, the calmer the service before the war, the greater the battle. Shi Jue could not sleep at night. He was not the commander of the navy and could run away at any time. Ma Jizhuang's grandson had been eating and living on the warship recently. How could Shi Jue not know his plan?

Now, something happened just the third day of the Chinese New Year. Shi Jue didn't know that as soon as he and Ma Jizhuang's joint report came up, Chiang Kai-shek actually approved it. The New Year sent a second fleet to station the long-distance port on the long-distance island east of Daishan Island. This was not the end. He also brought the three divisions of Hu Lian's 67th Army who had won the Kinmen Battle to defend Dinghai. At the same time, he served as the general reserve team to reinforce other armies. In this way, although Shi Jue and Ma Jizhuang did not achieve their goals, they finally felt a little more at ease.

After Chiang Kai-shek's air force cluster that was attacked by air force in Puhai was completely wiped out, he should understand that he had lost the air superiority that he had always relied on for a long time, and he should quickly withdraw his troops from Zhoushan.

But people can't hold this face down. The spies from the Military Commission told him the rumor circulating in the army: "Cap Zhoushan and send Taiwan to Taiwan", he couldn't sleep all night. If Zhoushan was lost, there is no doubt that the next step for the military is to attack Taiwan or Hainan. In the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, Taiwan is a poor place. How can we escape to Hainan, which is more backward and remote and has no industry? At least Taiwan has the remaining Japanese capital to eat. What is Hainan? Coconut?

"No matter what, Zhoushan must be guarded."

Lao Jiang suddenly became stubborn.

"Taiwan is different from Zhoushan. Even if the supply army conquers Zhoushan, Taiwan, which is far away from the mainland, has not reduced the difficulty of attacking the supply army. If Zhoushan does not defend and evacuate like this, Taiwan's attacking the supply army will not reduce the difficulty of attacking the supply army." He said this to Chiang Ching-kuo and other subordinates who advised him to withdraw from Zhoushan.

Since it is the same as if it is not guarding Zhoushan, why not guarding? Chiang Kai-shek is determined to guard it first and scare the military. If the military really gathers a large army, the situation is not good, and it will not be too late to leave.

Chiang Kai-shek was very confident in retreat. In history, Chiang Kai-shek relied on the close distance of ships, and it took only three days for more than 100,000 people to withdraw from Zhoushan. After all, when he fled Taiwan, he wrapped around almost all the ships in the country.

After the Kuomintang troops have been defeated over the years, they have gained something. There is an experience in these gains: "Three thousand shells cannot be killed, either the third column or the eight column." The eighth Division is the main force of the third column.

The 8th Division of the Third Column reorganized three regiments and was called "the tiger in Chen Yislei". Commander Chen Yi called him the "first-ranking corps" of the Eastern China troops.

In February 1949, the East China Military Region expanded into three divisions based on the three regiments of the 8th Division of the Third Column.

Among them, the 24th regiment was expanded to the 64th division.

The remaining 22nd and 23rd regiments are all troops based on the 115th Division's Old Red Army Company. In order to continue this proud history, the two regiments were expanded to the 65th Division as a basis.

The 66th Division is the original Ninth Division of the Third Column, which was adapted from the 10th and 11th Brigades of the former Shandong Military Region Guards.

After discussion and decision by the joint combat meeting of the three naval, army and air force of the East China Military Region, the Battle of Liberation of Zhoushan will be carried out in a manner that the north and south attacks, and the sea, land and air will be carried out. The 21st, 22nd, 23rd Army of the Seventh Corps are responsible for the attack, and the 20th, 26th, 27th Army of the Ninth Corps are responsible for the attack.

There is no doubt that the 22nd Army, which grew up from the 8th Division in the north, will be the main vanguard landing force. They will first launch a landing battle against Zhoushan Island. After receiving the combat order, Sun Jixian, the commander of the 22nd Army, and Ding Qiusheng, political commissar, felt that the responsibility was extremely heavy, but also felt that it was supreme glorious.

Island landing operations are no longer as good as those of the previous field army marching and fighting. Due to the existence of the ocean, many factors have become uncertain. For example, whether the landing troops will be swept by ocean currents and cause the ship to deviate from the direction, and the final landing location does not match the scheduled landing location? This is a painful lesson from the Battle of Kinmen that is close to you. Also, whether the subsequent troops can keep up after landing? When the enemy defends stubbornly and resists wildly, can the troops' ammunition withstand consumption? If there is an enemy armored force launching an assault on our army like that in the Battle of Kinmen, will our army withstand the situation? Will there be heavy casualties and injuries? All of this are issues that must be considered as a commander.

Commander Sun held the aerial pictures sent by the command center and looked over and over again. He turned over and over, and kept comparing and studying the photos of the enemy deployment marked on the map. The photos taken by the Hongjianwu were very clear through high-altitude reconnaissance, and every beach bunker, every enemy trench, and every highland machine gun position were clearly visible on the photos.

Since our army now has air superiority, the flight reconnaissance we are doing now is somewhat "unscrupulous" and lingers over the Zhoushan Islands. Even the enemy's hidden small-caliber anti-aircraft guns built on the mountain are clearly visible. These gun positions are obviously not used to attack aircraft. Shooting at the beachheads in front from these mountains near the beachheads will undoubtedly cause great casualties to the registered troops.

While studying, Sun Jixian was thinking about how to assign this mission to his comrades. Although the plan for this landing operation was formulated by the command center, the tastes they made were ultimately determined by the quality of a commander and his soldiers. This was like telling you in advance what dishes to cook, what kind of seasonings and ingredients to give you, but the tastes they made vary from person to person. Some chefs can make outstanding delicious food, some make dishes taste plain, and some can cook the good dishes into a pot of char, and some even mess up the pots.

But now Commander Sun is full of confidence and he will definitely make this dish delicious. He knew very well that the 22nd Army is unprecedentedly powerful. If the 22nd Army in the past dared not to sacrifice and confront two or three enemy troops, or faced the encirclement and suppression of three or five armies, could stand up and cover other troops, or bravely break through the enemy's defense and defeat the opponent when facing the dense firepower of an enemy's enemy. However, today, Commander Sun dared to say that the 22nd Army now dared to go up and beat him up even if he faced several times the enemy's enemy. As long as the ammunition was enough, he could eat up all the two or three armies in front of him.

The 22nd Army was the first unit to change clothes. According to the instructions of the central government, they changed clothes in full not five or six, nor five or six, but the first weapon brought back by Xiaoqiang - Bayi Bar.

Sun Jixian still remembers that when he first saw the scene when the Bayi Bar opened fire. The 30-round magazine was full of fire, and his eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye. The bullets flew out of the gun chamber in a dense manner and poured towards the target standard. According to the four magazines of individual soldiers plus 120 spikes, it was really not enough. Even though this battle was quite special, the vanguard troops were doubled, Sun Jixian was still a little worried. After all, he was so angry that he had no choice but to take too much attention after fighting. So he had to emphasize that saving bullets recently. One person was not as good as multiple people firing in a single shot.

Sun Jixian understood what it means to have a whole army equipped with this automatic rifle called Bayigang! With such powerful firepower, Sun Jixian felt that it was no problem no matter what kind of enemy he faced. Sun Jixian dared to make a promise and equipped Bayigang troops, if one of his companies landed, it would be stronger than a regiment of other troops.

What's more, Sun Jixian got more than just the Ba1 bar. As for the 40mm caliber rocket launchers of the Type 69 type, Commander Sun almost paid them as treasures after watching the use demonstration. As a result, the Military Commission opened up the supply to him, and set up an additional firearm platoon for each company of the 22nd Army in addition to the original three infantry platoons. Each firearm platoon was equipped with two firearm squads, with 6 soldiers in each squad equipped with three rocket launchers, carrying 24 rockets.

The bazooka shooter has three bullets in one cylinder and one back-mounted bullet, and the bazooka shooter has five bullets in one cylinder. In this way, one company has 6 bazooka 48 rockets. Sun Jixian was stunned at the time, thinking that he would be afraid of a bird armored vehicle and tank car in the future! From today on, my company will be afraid that he will not encounter iron-covered things! I will fight one in the future! I will never let anyone go with a shell! If any company can't stand the armored vehicle and tank car, the company commander will jump into the sea by himself.

There is also the type of Type 85 Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun. After being sent to the army, each battalion established a heavy machine gun company, one company three platoons, one platoon and three squads. Each squad was equipped with a Type 85 Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun, and one company of 9 heavy machine guns! Each heavy machine gun was equipped with 2 60 round boxes and 4 60 round chains. All machine gunners fell in love with this treasure immediately when they saw this treasure, and no one regarded the neck of the pheasant as something great. The large base of supply of single-machine bullets made Sun Jixian think at first that the central government made mistakes in the number, and after repeated confirmation, he really believed that 360 rounds were counted as a base. Commander Sun felt that any battalion commander had such a nine-machine heavy machine company and would have no reason to lose in the future. That would become a big joke for the entire army.
