The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 506 Gao Jiu's Influence
Because the bombing of Cangxian County will start tomorrow morning, the Japanese army at Beiping Airport has parked a large number of bombers on the runway.

Wang Zhankui led the special forces team members to quietly approach the airport in the dark.The special operations team members didn’t need Wang Zhankui’s specific explanation at all, and everyone’s usual cooperation was already very tacit. Some team members were preparing to deal with the Japanese patrols and the various firepower points in charge of security around them, and some team members were holding rocket launchers to attack the planes on the airport.Wang Zhankui personally led 50 team members to attack the Japanese airport towers, ammunition depots, and oil depots.

At two o'clock in the morning, the special forces members began to enter the attack site.

The Japanese airfield in Beiping had never been attacked, and the Japanese army's vigilance was very lax. Listening to the chirping of summer insects in the fields, the sentries fell asleep one by one.

A sentry noticed a figure moving on the grass outside the airport. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, but saw nothing.However, he cheered up and observed carefully. Finally, he saw the shadow shaking again, and hurried to sound the siren, and there was a piercing sound from the airport.

At this moment, the sound of gunfire rang out, and a bullet flew over, knocking him off the top of the watchtower.Immediately afterwards, gunshots and explosions rang out everywhere.

Guard posts and machine gun emplacements around the airfield were attacked at the same time.The simple watchtowers and machine gun positions of the Japanese army could not withstand a single rocket attack, and the surrounding security forces were quickly lost.

Seeing that the enemy couldn't react for a while, the special operators with rocket launchers quickly approached the runway at a distance of about 100 meters, and shot the rockets at the Japanese aircraft parked on the runway.

It was really cool to hit the plane with rockets. As soon as the rocket passed, the Japanese plane turned into a big fireball.

The rocket launch speed is very fast, and several rounds can be launched within 1 minute. In less than 2 minutes, all the Japanese aircraft parked on the runway were smashed into scrap iron.

The Japanese patrol team was killed immediately, and Wang Zhankui and others quickly rushed to the buildings on the airport.

The guards of the Japanese army rushed out of the barracks. As soon as they reached the gate, they were violently fired by several light machine guns. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

Wang Zhankui and others had already approached the enemy's barracks, and a grenade was fired towards the inside of the barracks, blowing up the blood and flesh of the Japanese soldiers inside.

Wang Zhankui left a small number of guerrillas and continued to block the Japanese security forces in the barracks, and then led other people to attack the ammunition depot, oil depot and the tower of the Japanese airport.

In the past, to strike targets like the Japanese army, it was necessary to install explosives, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it was difficult to do so.Now with the bazooka, hitting these targets is a breeze.

The special operators didn't have to run to these targets, a rocket bomb hit them, the Japanese tower was destroyed, and the ammunition depot and fuel depot began to catch fire and explode.

The ammunition depot exploded violently, destroying the fuel depot next to it. A large number of gasoline barrels were thrown into the sky, and a violent combustion explosion occurred in the air. The burning flames spread to the ground like a torrential rain, and the Japanese hangar quickly became It became a sea of ​​flames, and none of the planes parked inside was spared.

At this moment, the Japanese army's airport was like a hell on earth, and the scene was very tragic.

Wang Zhankui and others saw the explosion of the ammunition depot and the fuel depot, and immediately led the team to evacuate from the airport.

Gao Jiu in Cangxian County was very happy when he received Wang Zhankui's telegram. He called Wang Zhankui back and praised him and his special forces.At the same time, let them make persistent efforts and prepare to intercept the Japanese heavy artillery units coming out of Beiping.

At dawn, a large number of Japanese soldiers came to the airport, and the airport was in a mess. Hundreds of planes of the Japanese First Air Force were basically destroyed.The complex was either bombed or destroyed in a fire.

In addition to these losses, more than 80 Japanese pilots, 110 ground crews, and more than 200 Japanese security forces were also killed in the attack.

After this blow, Beiping Airport will no longer be able to carry out the bombing mission to Cang County in a short time.The commander of the Japanese First Air Force was very angry and decided to transfer planes from other airports to retaliate against Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas.

The chief of staff of the Air Force was relatively calm, and he quietly said to the commander: "Your Excellency, our Third Air Force has never been attacked before, this time it was because we were going to bomb the Gaojiu gang that we were attacked by them." attack.

The attack happened just after we received the order to carry out the bombing mission, which means that someone tipped Gao Jiu and the others that they knew in advance that we were about to go to Cang County to carry out the bombing mission, so they attacked us.

Gao Jiu is well-known, and we don't know enough about him.I suggest that you call Commander Yokota Makio of the Third Air Force in Shandong to find out the situation. "

The commander of the Japanese First Air Force and Yokota Makio, the commander of the Third Air Force, were both classmates of the Japanese Osaka Aviation School, and the two had a very close relationship.He had heard before that Yokota Makio's Third Air Force had been attacked at Jinan's airport, and that the Third Air Force had also suffered heavy losses during its bombing mission to Taohua Mountain.

At that time, he sympathized with Yokota Makio's experience, and the two chatted about Gao Jiu on the phone.However, Yokota Makio has some things that are inconvenient to say, so he didn't talk about them in detail.

The commander of the First Air Force thought of these things and called Yokota Makio.

The relationship between Makio Yokota and the commander of the First Air Force is very close. The phone calls between Makio Yokota and him have to go through several switchboards. Their conversations are easy to be overheard. Some things are inconvenient on the phone. say clearly.

Therefore, he sent a telegram to the commander of the First Air Force. These telegrams were not allowed to be translated by confidential departments, but the commander of the First Air Force was required to translate them with a code book.In the telegram, Shepherd Hengtian told the commander of the First Air Force about his situation and his experience with Gao Jiu in the past, and advised him not to provoke Gao Jiu, otherwise, Gao Jiu's retaliation would not be bombing. It's that simple to destroy the airport.Once Gao Jiu was following him, the commander of the First Air Force would have no choice but to die.

After discussion, the commander of the First Air Force and the chief of staff decided to follow suit. They excused that the First Air Force had suffered a heavy loss, and the morale of the troops had been greatly affected, and they could no longer continue to carry out bombing missions.In this way, the threat from the Japanese Air Force was lifted.

The head of the 132nd Division of the Japanese Army had never dealt directly with Gao Jiu in the past, but now he surrounded Gao Jiu, full of ambition and ready to make contributions.

After breakfast that day, he organized the Japanese army to prepare to launch an attack on the county seat. He contacted the North China Dispatch Army and asked when the bombers from the First Air Force would arrive. He planned to wait until the air force bombed before launching an attack on the county seat.

The North China Dispatch Army Command told the division commander of the 132nd Division that the Air Force had to perform other combat missions and would no longer bomb Cang County.He also told them that Gao Jiu's bandits were no more than a few hundred at best, and that the 132nd Division could easily eliminate them and let them launch the attack by themselves.

The division head of the 132nd Division felt a little baffled and did not understand why such a big change happened overnight.Then, he asked whether the troops of the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade had set off?As a result, the answer he got was that the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade would also perform other combat missions and would no longer come to Cang County.

It turned out that the Japanese Second Heavy Artillery Brigade went to Taohuashan last time, but suffered serious losses.This time they heard that they were going to Cang County to play Gao Jiu, and they felt that Gao Jiu would never let them reach Cang County smoothly like last time.The distance from Beiping to Cang County is not close, and there is a possibility of being attacked by Taohuashan guerrillas at any time along the way.

They didn't want to suffer heavy losses like last time, so they also found various excuses and refused to carry out the mission to Cang County this time.

Lieutenant General Sakai, the deputy chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, had dealt with Gao Jiu before, so he knew how powerful Gao Jiu was.Now that Beiping Airport was attacked, it had already shown that Gao Jiu was angry.He didn't want Gao Jiu to be impatient and come to Peiping to make a mess.Therefore, he deliberately concealed the attack on Beiping Airport, and fooled the head of the 132nd Division to let him deal with Gao Jiu alone.

The division head of the 132nd Division is not a fool either. He immediately sent someone to get in touch with the 132nd Division's left-behind office in Peiping. Lost all.

After clarifying the situation, the head of the division was frowning, and after discussing with the chief of staff and other confidantes, he felt that he was now in trouble.They believed that although Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas were formidable, they were small in number and surrounded.Now there are nearly 2 Japanese and puppet troops around the county seat, and it is entirely possible to wipe out Gao Jiu in the county seat of Cang County.

After making up his mind, the division commander issued an attack order.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of this day, the Japanese army began to shell Cangxian County.

Before the encirclement by the Japanese army, after mobilization, the people in Cang County had already evacuated in advance.The troops defending the city used the solid buildings inside as cover, and the Japanese bombardment did not cause many casualties.

Gao Jiu analyzed the offensive tactics of the Japanese army and left only a small number of surveillance posts on the city wall. When the Japanese army bombarded them, everyone else hid behind the solid city wall.Although the artillery fire of the Japanese army destroyed many buildings, the anti-Japanese army did not suffer major losses.

The Japanese army is also very experienced in combat. In addition to indiscriminately bombarding the county town, they also concentrated a considerable number of artillery to bombard the city wall of the county town. In the north and south directions, they bombed and collapsed the city wall about 40 meters wide. .

After the shelling stopped, the first Japanese attack began.

The 132nd Division was eager to eliminate Gao Jiu. They couldn't trust the puppet troops, so they directly invested the main force of the Japanese army to launch an attack.

In order to disperse the enemy forces defending the city, the Japanese army not only concentrated their main force to attack the two breaches in the city wall that had been blown down, but also launched attacks from other sides at the same time.

In other areas, the ghost soldiers carried ladders and swooped towards the city wall.

The first batch of personnel who climbed up the city wall for defense were members of the Taohuashan Special Forces, and the others were still on standby behind the city wall.

Gao Jiu did this to prevent the Japanese army from playing hooligans.The law of the Japanese attack was that after the shelling, the infantry launched an attack.Sometimes the Japanese army also played tricks. After the bombardment, the troops pretended to launch an attack, and waited until the enemy defenders entered the position to launch the bombardment again, which could effectively destroy the enemy.

Gao Jiu didn't know whether the devils in front of him were so smart, but he couldn't take any risks, so he sent special forces to guard the city wall first.

There are not many special forces members, and there is only one person at a large distance on the city wall. Even if the enemy launches bombardment, it will not cause too much loss.

Gao Jiu still overestimated these Japanese devils.They really didn't have this kind of heart, and they followed the infantry offensive tactics in a regular manner, and a large number of devil soldiers rushed towards the county.

The attack of the devil soldiers usually runs forward quickly. When they are 100 meters away from the enemy, they slow down their attack speed, establish a starting position for the attack, and then send some troops to rush to a distance of about 50 meters from the enemy. Start to crawl forward to within 30 meters, throw grenades and charge forward.

The members of the Taohuashan guerrilla opened fire at a distance of more than 200 meters. Their first round targets were important targets such as commanders, machine gunners, and mortar gunners in the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army advanced to a distance of 150 meters from the city wall, the important targets such as the commander of the Japanese army who were mixed in front of the team were basically destroyed.

The devils had never fought such a battle before, and they were in a mess for a while.The commanders of the devils were all very brave and dedicated. The front ones were wiped out, and the rear ones rushed forward and continued to command the troops to charge forward.

As a result, these commanders were named and killed by the guerrillas in Taohuashan one by one. The devil soldiers lost their command and didn't know what to do for a while.

The Taohuashan guerrillas didn't care about so many people. If there were no key targets, they would attack ordinary Japanese soldiers.

The soldiers of the Japanese army kept falling down, and finally they felt fear in their hearts. Without the surveillance of the Japanese commander, everyone retreated in a swarm.

Seeing this situation, the division commander of the 132nd Division felt tremendous pressure.He found that he still underestimated the combat capability of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and he really didn't know how to fight the next battle.

The chief of staff gave him an opinion. He suggested mobilizing the puppet army to block bullets in front, and the Japanese army followed the puppet army to attack forward.

The devils never regarded the puppet army as human beings. The head of the 132nd Division thought it made sense, and immediately dispatched a large number of puppet troops, reorganized the battle formation, and then issued an attack order.
