In 1955, in order to completely annihilate the remnants of the Kuomintang, our army resolutely decided to coordinate operations at the same time, land, and air, and to teach the old Chiang Kai-shek a lesson. However, in the face of this action by the mainland, the United States directly intervened. After learning of the US intervention, the great man directly put a cruel word, which frightened the US military and did not dare to act rashly. How shocking is this coordinated operation between land, sea and air? How did the great men shock the United States? Interested officials remember to like and follow!
Battle of Yijiangshan Island
Although the remnants of the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, these surviving Kuomintang forces still did not have a completely dead heart, always thinking that with the help of the United States, they could rely on their strong naval strength and wait for a counteroffensive.
In order to achieve the goal of counter-offensive at an early date, the Kuomintang not only stationed tens of thousands of troops on Dachen Island, but also built many fortifications on Yijiangshan Island, and all the islands were equipped with advanced American equipment.
Under the meticulous construction of the Kuomintang, these two islands, which they regarded as fortresses, have largely threatened the southeast coast of the mainland and the safety of people's lives and property. Therefore, it is imperative to liberate these two islands. In order to successfully liberate Dachen Island and Yijiangshan Island, our side has decided to carry out coordinated operations between the navy, land and air forces.
In 1954, we began to prepare a plan to land on the island, but what we never expected was that the United States directly intervened in our plan. They also sent their fleets, along with chiang kai-shek's fleet, to conduct incessant land, sea, and air military exercises, and at the same time, they also made a big fuss about protecting old Chiang's two islands.
In the face of the arbitrary and unreasonable intervention of the United States, the great man directly and domineeringly said a sentence after learning about it: A former defeated general is not afraid at all! This remark of the great man not only greatly encouraged our officers and men, but also really frightened the US military, after all, on the Korean battlefield, the shadow left for them is still fresh in the memory of the US army.
On January 18, 1955, the Battle of Liberating Yijiangshan Island was officially launched.
A Jiangshan Island
On the navy side, the mainland has sent a total of 188 warships, including frigates, landing ships, etc.; on the army side, we have sent a total of one regiment and one battalion of troops, and also equipped with nearly 300 heavy artillery; on the air force side, we have sent a total of nearly 200 fighters.
Under the fierce bombardment of heavy artillery and fighters, Yijiangshan Island, which was regarded by Lao Jiang as a fortification with an iron wall, had long been turned into a ruin.
In order to leave a deep impression on Lao Jiang, we also specially prepared spitfires for Lao Chiang, don't look at the small number of spitfires sent, but the number of annihilated enemies on the battlefield can reach 20% of the total number, in addition, it also damaged many enemy fortifications.
In the entire Battle of Yijiangshan Island, our army annihilated a total of 1,086 enemy troops, and Yijiangshan Island was completely and completely liberated! The final victory of the coordinated operation of the three armed forces has also made the countries of the world see thoroughly that in safeguarding national sovereignty, the mainland will absolutely not give in at all.
And the US military, which had been clamoring for help before, waited until the end of the campaign, and finally came late, although it came late, but in order to show its determination, the US military sent 6 aircraft carrier groups into the waters of Dachen Island, in addition, more than 2,000 fighters were sent, which has been hovering above Dachen Island.
U.S. warships
In the face of the provocation of the US military, our army directly spoke with artillery fire, under the fierce bombardment of our army, the US fighter plane was directly destroyed, seeing such a result, the US military can only return to the sea in ashes, for this destroyed fighter, the United States only declared to the outside world, saying that it was because the fighter plane lost its direction and crashed, and has nothing to do with the mainland. I have to say that the United States is really full of bullying and fearing hard!
With the complete liberation of Yijiangshan Island, the Kuomintang troops stationed on Dachen Island had not yet started a war with our army, and because they were afraid of taking the initiative to retreat, our army effortlessly occupied Dachen Island. Since then, all the territories in the eastern coastal areas of Zhejiang have been successfully recovered by our army!
In this joint operation of the navy, army and air force, in addition to the army that has always been brave and good at war, the mainland has also completely let the world see how powerful our navy and air force are! In this battle between the Kuomintang, the navy and air force can be said to have contributed, a very large force. So, how much contribution has the navy and air force made?
A mighty navy and air force
In previous wars, the mainland's strength in the navy and air force has always been relatively weak, and it is our army that makes the enemy feel frightened.
However, since the founding of New China, our military has continuously vigorously developed the navy and air force, and has even become a threat to the United States for a time. Although there is no United States, we are afraid of our development speed, but in the eyes of the United States and the old Chiang Kai-shek, if our army wants to fight together with the three armed forces, it will certainly be a fool's dream.
In order to display their naval and air force strength, the old Chiang Kai-shek side also conducted special military exercises with the US military in the Taiwan Strait area. The practices of chiang kai-shek and the US military can only be said to be naïve and short-sighted.
Taiwan Navy
When the battle first began, our PLA Naval Aviation Corps directly shot down two Kuomintang bombers unscathed. Immediately afterward, in order to successfully capture these two islands, our army directly dispatched 41 fighters, and under the fierce bombardment of our army, the Kuomintang army was directly beaten and suffered heavy losses.
In the naval battles that followed, the so-called main battleships of the Kuomintang were directly sunk by our torpedo boats, and, even funnierally, after their battleship cups were sunk, they did not react at all to what was sunk, but instead thought that our fighters did it!
Taiwan Strait crisis
Later, in the statistics, our army completely crushed the Kuomintang navy and air force with absolute superiority in the naval and air battles with the Kuomintang. Among them, 3 warships of the Kuomintang were directly sunk, and 7 battleships were seriously damaged. On the Air Force side, 19 Kuomintang fighters were shot down and wounded! In short, no matter which way it is, the Kuomintang army is the one that has been crushed in the engagement with the People's Liberation Army.
After seeing that our army was so brave, the US military directly and very cunningly did not participate in it, because when they signed the mutual defense treaty with the old Chiang Kai-shek side, there was no Dachen Island and Yijiangshan Island in it, so this was not their business! I have to say that in the sinister and cunning area, old Jiang can't play the United States!
Because of the stubbornness of the remnants of the Kuomintang, our army can only deal them with the most serious blows, and the result is obvious that in this joint operation of land, sea and air, our army not only won victory, but also completely and then the world saw our strength clearly. But why did our army choose first and liberate these two islands first?
The importance of the two islands
The main reason why our army pays so much attention to these two islands is because they have an extremely important strategic position, and it is also for this reason that the Kuomintang will make such great efforts on these two islands.
Among them, Yijiangshan Island, because of its innate geographical advantages, has formed a type that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Kuomintang will build so many fortifications on Yijiangshan Island.
Compared with Yijiangshan Island, Dachen Island can not only attack, but also defend, so on Dachen Island, the Kuomintang has also specially established a defense command, equipped with the best American weapons!
Dachen Island
Because of the great blood capital on these two islands, in the eyes of Lao Jiang, these two islands can be described as the most important. Moreover, Lao Jiang also said that if we want to protect Taiwan, we must protect Dachen Island, and if we want to protect Dachen Island, we must protect Yijiangshan Island. From this, it is not difficult for us to see how important Yijiangshan Island and Dachen Island are to the old Jiang Fang.
If the old Chiang Kai-shek had been keeping to himself, perhaps our army would not have been in such a hurry, but since they were thinking of counterattacking, then don't blame us for taking action against them!
Since Yijiangshan Island is so important to them, the first thing to fight is Yijiangshan Island! Although the Kuomintang has the help of the United States, in the eyes of our army, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will not be able to stop the pace of our liberation, not to mention that the Kuomintang's helper is the United States, and it is even more difficult to be afraid of becoming our defeated general on the Korean battlefield.
The joint operation of the three services is the first joint operation of the three services in the history of the People's Liberation Army, and this is of very great significance in the entire military history of the mainland. It is also the victory of this campaign that makes the whole world truly see that Today's China is no longer what it used to be, the navy and air force that were once in a weak position have really risen, and the three services have reached a real tacit understanding in coordinating operations.
Looking at all the wars that the mainland has experienced, no matter which battle it is, the mainland is just, although the mainland is a very peace-loving country, but when the war comes, it may be a good way to stop the war with war! Especially on the issue of the integrity of the continent, no matter what kind of enemy we face, we will deal the heaviest blow to it!
