Devil's Army

The main force of the Independent 6st Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army began to advance towards Xuwen Port at o'clock the next morning.

The troops quickly entered Hepu County. What made Commander Guo angry was that the Japanese troops on Weizhou Island had burned, killed and looted the villagers in Hepu County as they retreated yesterday.

The Gui army stationed in Hepu County had no way to resist the Japanese attack and was quickly defeated.

At this time, Leng Feng ordered the Southern Front of the First Anti-Japanese Army to attack Xuwen Port from the sea to support the First Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army.

Upon receiving the order, Commander Zhang immediately ordered the Hainan Island Fleet to take the Second and Third Regiments of the Independent First Division to attack Xuwen Port.

More than an hour later, the Hainan Island Fleet arrived at the sea area of ​​Xuwen Port. At this time, there was no Japanese fleet in Xuwen Port.

When the Hainan Island Fleet attempted to dock, it was attacked by Japanese coastal defense artillery on the shore.

The five warships of the Hainan Island Fleet immediately lined up and launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese Xuwen Port coastal defense artillery positions.

At this time, the roar of an airplane was heard in the air.

The Japanese planes at Guangzhou Tianhe Airport and Zhongshan County Sanzao Island Airport took advantage of the fact that the First Army's planes had just finished fighting a big battle and did not come to escort them, and took the opportunity to make trouble. They flew over the flagship of the Hainan Island Fleet and fiercely bombed and strafed.

The flagship "Hainan Island" opened fire at full anti-aircraft firepower, and the destroyer "Haikou" and the cruiser "Qiongshan" beside it also opened fire at full anti-aircraft firepower. Tongues of fire fiercely pounced on the Japanese fighters and bombers in the air.

The fighters that attacked the Hainan Island fleet this time were the more advanced Type 52 Zero fighters.

Commander Zhang received a report from the Hainan Island Fleet, and learned that the Japanese Tianhe Airport and Sanzao Island Airport had been repaired, and more advanced Zero 52 fighters were transferred from China. He was ready to let Captain Du take the Fourth Air Squadron to take off to fight.

Commander Zhang's order had not yet been issued, but he received Leng Feng's order:

The Hainan Island Air Squadron 4 immediately took off and launched an air strike on the Japanese Tianhe Airport and Sanzao Island Airport.

The Japanese aircraft that attacked the Hainan Island fleet were dealt with by the aircraft of the Second and Third Air Brigade of the First Army that entered Weizhou Island yesterday.

The Japanese coastal artillery in Xuwen Port took advantage of the fact that the Hainan Island fleet was busy dealing with the air raids by their aircraft and concentrated their firepower to fiercely attack the flagship "Hainan Island".

The Hainan Island Fleet concentrated its main and secondary guns to fiercely attack the shore defense guns at Xuwen Port. The anti-aircraft artillery fiercely attacked the Japanese fighters and bombers.

The Japanese army had only two coastal defense artillery positions in Xuwen Port, and suffered heavy casualties under the fierce bombardment of the main and secondary guns of the five warships of the Hainan Island Fleet.

However, misfortunes never come singly. The fighter planes and bombers of the First Army on Weizhou Island soon arrived to fight.

The First Army's 12 H- bombers launched a fierce bombing on the Japanese coastal artillery positions and infantry positions in Xuwen Port.

The 48 Huaxia III fighter planes of the First Army rushed forward and engaged in combat with the 50 Type 52 Zero fighter planes of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese Type 52 Zero fighters were all equipped with 20mm machine guns. Their firepower was not much inferior to that of the Chinese Type fighters, but their speed was much worse.

After half an hour of air fighting, the Japanese army's self-proclaimed powerful Zero-52 fighter group was constantly shot down by the First Army's fighters.

However, the fierce firepower of the Japanese new fighter planes continued to damage the First Army's fighter planes.

The two sides fought in the air for another half an hour, and the Japanese fighter planes were reduced to only more than 30 planes, so they had to retreat.

How could the fighter planes of the First Army let the duck in their mouths fly away? They quickly accelerated and chased after it.

The Japanese fighter planes pulled up, lowered, rolled to slow down, turned... they used every trick in their attempt to escape the pursuit of the devil force's sharp fighter planes.

The speed of the First Army fighters was more than twice that of the Japanese fighters, so they quickly caught up with the Japanese fighters. However, they often failed to slow down and overtook the Japanese fighters.

After a fierce air pursuit, most of the Japanese Type 52 Zero fighters were shot down.

After defeating the Japanese fighter group, the fighter planes of the First Army on Weizhou Island strafed the Japanese coastal defense line of Xuwen Port with all their might.

Captain Chen of the five-ship Hainan Island Fleet left the flagship "Hainan Island" on the sea to provide fire cover, and the other four warships sailed towards Xuwen Port.

The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the Independent Division on the warship began to land on the beach.

The soldiers of the independent division were fiercely blocked by the Japanese coastal defense forces when they landed.

The covering warship's main guns immediately launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese coastal defense positions.

The landing craft of the soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd Regiments quickly approached the shore.

The soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Japanese coastal defense positions.
