Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 397 Captured Ten Planes
On October 1940, 10, at 18:[-] in the morning, the sky was dim and bright.

Last night, Takeshi Ikawa entertained Dong Jiang kindly, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were also arranged for a sumptuous dinner.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the pilots of the airport returned to the airport from the city, but the two sides did not meet each other. Dong Jiang also heard Wuji Igawa complain that those guys came back.

Then the two drank until the early hours of the morning, and Dong Jiang was able to escape smoothly.

Dong Jiang's reconnaissance company is arranged separately in a group of barracks. Inside the barracks is a Datong shop, and there is a wooden door in the middle of each house, which makes it more convenient for the reconnaissance company to gather.

"There are still ten minutes before the main force will launch an attack. The pilots must be dealt with. The little devil's plane must not fly into the sky, and we must protect the safety of our pilots. Do you understand?" Dong Jiang said Several cadres of the reconnaissance company said.

"Understood!" Several people responded in low voices.

Dong Jiang looked stern, then pulled out the bayonet hanging from his waist, and said, "Action!"

In the entire Changzhi Airport, there were less than [-] Japanese soldiers in the flight team, security team, maintenance team, and some ground staff.

That is to say, the reconnaissance company is equipped with Japanese weapons for this operation. If it is equipped with the previous firepower of the reconnaissance company, Dong Jiang is confident that he will wipe out this group of Japanese troops after sneaking into the airport.

But even now, Dong Jiang didn't take the little devil seriously.

Taking advantage of the gap between the patrol team passing by the barracks in the airport, more than [-] people from the reconnaissance company went straight to the two-story building on the northernmost side of the pilot's residence, and the other to the ground control tower headquarters in the airport.

The Japanese soldiers on guard at the two gates were shot and killed by "our own people" without the slightest reaction.

Under the leadership of Cao Dabao, the more than forty fighters who were in charge of dealing with the little devil pilots were divided into two groups. One group rushed to the second floor, while the other stayed on the first floor.

Since it was not clear whether there were Japanese soldiers living in any room, the reconnaissance company teamed up with two people, and people occupied the door of each room.

Hearing the sound of kicking the door upstairs, Cao Dabao, who stayed on the first floor, kicked open the wooden door in front of him without hesitation. Another soldier next to him threw the two grenades in his hand, and the two turned around. Lean against the wall.

The sparked shrapnel caused fatal damage to the sleeping little devil, and the bed sheet was stained red with blood in an instant.

Immediately, the soldiers rushed in quickly to make up the knife. Some surviving little devil pilots endured severe pain and wanted to resist, but they were dealt with cleanly.

Then everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor, and a soldier from the reconnaissance company was injured.

"Why are you still injured?" Cao Dabao said in a deep voice.

"It's unlucky. The two little devils I'm in charge of that room actually lived in the upper bunk. The grenade didn't work. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and only injured my arm!"

Cao Dabao nodded after hearing this, and then said: "The four groups stayed to protect our comrade pilots. The guns have no eyes, and they all stayed in the hall with their ears pricked up. They will be bombarded in a while. Don't be accidentally injured. The rest People occupy a favorable position, and the little devils cannot be allowed to rush in."

At this time, there was a shrill siren in the airport, and the Japanese patrol outside had already heard the sound and rushed to support from the east side of the airport. At this time, Dong Jiang had already placed the Japanese ground tower command over there.

Zhou Weihan's combat mission for the reconnaissance company was to eliminate the Japanese pilots, destroy their towers, prevent Japanese aircraft from taking off, and then wait for the main force to attack. The rest of the Japanese troops were not included in the mission of the reconnaissance company.

At the same time, Takeshi Igawa, who had been drinking all night and slept like a dead pig, was awakened by continuous explosions.

Fortunately, he didn't take off his military uniform last night, which would save him trouble, and he quickly ran out of the single-person house.

I saw many Japanese soldiers wearing mustard seeds, naked, standing with weapons and shooting at the soldiers of the reconnaissance company in the small building on the second floor.

"Baga, what's going on?" Takeshi Igawa asked loudly.

"It's the people from the transport convoy that came yesterday. They occupy the pilot's small building and are defending. They must be the Eighth Route Army in disguise!"

"Nani?" Takeshi Ikawa's face was livid, as if he couldn't believe that the person who was talking to him yesterday was actually the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, continuous explosions sounded near the outer fortifications of the airport.

Inside the airport, the Japanese soldiers were in a mess. The fighting in the small building had not yet subsided, and there was movement outside the airport.

Because the Japanese army put its troops into the sweep, and the Changzhi Airport was located in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area, the airport guard team did not have many troops at this time.

Under the surprise attack, the troops were stretched all of a sudden, but Takeshi Igawa calmed down quickly: "Don't panic, the Eighth Route Army has not broken through the outer fortifications, and the imperial troops in Guancun Town will rush to support soon!"

"The personnel are divided into two groups, one group destroys the Eighth Route Army occupying the small building, and the other group supports the soldiers at the wall!"

And just outside the airport, Wang Yigong heard the movement inside the airport, and then fired a red signal flare into the sky.

On the artillery position in the rear, four [-]-type infantry artillery and twelve mountain artillery were ready to go, after seeing the signal to launch an attack.

The artillery commander immediately ordered: "Bunkers and gun towers in front of the target, prepare for test firing, hit!"

As the flag in the hands of the flag commander waved, there was a dull sound from the barrel.

"Tom tom tom!" The first round of shells flew out together.

Today, the Artillery Battalion has perfected its professional skills through previous battles.

In an instant, based on the southwest corner of the artillery position, the fortifications outside the airport on the west and south sides were suddenly engulfed in flames.

However, the outer blockhouses and blockhouses of Changzhi Airport are different from others. The whole body is built of stones, and the defense is much stronger than that of masonry structures.

After a round of artillery fire, many blockhouses and bunkers were still standing on the ground.

The artillerymen had already known about this special situation, and then the artillery adjusted their shots, and another three rounds of shells fired.

In just over a minute, 64 shells bombarded the outer fortifications of the airport, and the puppet troops on the fortifications suddenly became a mess.

Compared with the crying puppet troops who were blasted by the sudden artillery fire on the position, the puppet troops in the gun towers and bunkers were even more miserable, and many puppet troops who reacted slowly were crushed under the ruins.

The puppet troops who survived in both directions subconsciously wanted to retreat into the airport, but the firepower points arranged on the fence fired directly.

The puppet army running in front was immediately swept down, the only external passage to the airport was locked at this time, and the fence of the airport was more than two meters high. The puppet army behind was caught in a dilemma for a while.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do? The Japanese fired directly, and we couldn't get close to the wall at all!" A puppet soldier said tremblingly.

Seeing this situation, the puppet battalion commander's scalp felt numb. He thought he could live a peaceful life at the airport for a few days. Who would have thought that he would be stationed here not long before the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese airport.

"How can the Eighth Route Army attack Changzhi Airport one by one!" The puppet battalion commander was so frightened that he was at a loss.

I can't fight and I can't fight, I can't run and I can't run.

Although Changzhi Airport is large, the Fourth Regiment invested two infantry battalions plus two heavy machine guns, totaling more than 1100 people.

Although it was divided into two directions, west and south, under the cover of artillery fire, they came around at once, driving the puppet army to one place like a big net.

There was constant shouting and killing from all sides. Seeing that there was no way out, many puppet soldiers simply threw their weapons on the ground and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

The soldiers rushing over were immediately amused by the situation in front of them: "Damn it, I haven't made a move yet, this group of puppet troops surrendered very quickly!"

On the artillery position in the rear, the artillery company commander in charge saw that the soldiers of the fourth regiment had surrounded the puppet army, and immediately ordered the artillery to stop.

"Extend all the artillery fire from the mountain cannons, avoiding the small buildings on the second floor, the comrades of the reconnaissance company are still inside!"

The small building on the second floor where Dong Jiang and the others sat was close to the west wall, so it was hard to observe with the naked eye, but it was very clear in the artillery mirror. This is why Dong Jiang and the others hid in the small building on the second floor.

Then the twelve mountain cannons quickly adjusted the shooting elements according to the data calculated by the artillery mirror before, and bombarded the Japanese barracks on the west side and the wall on the south side.

The fortifications of the airport security team at the wall are connected to the wall by several platforms of tens of square meters, and the steps extend from the platform to the ground.

Firepower points are arranged on each platform, and shooting can be launched through the shooting holes on the fence, so that the hard fence can resist the bullets from outside.

However, when Takeshi Ikawa designed the airport, he never expected that the Eighth Route Army would have such a large number of artillery pieces. After all, the last time Changzhi Airport was breached by the Eighth Route Army was by force. Otherwise, why would we design a cannon under the wall to avoid artillery fire? tunnel.

At this time, Takeshi Ikawa, who was personally directing the battle at the wall, suddenly heard the scream of shells piercing the air from above.

"Dodge the shelling!"

I saw Wuji Ikawa shouted, and then jumped off the platform flexibly, hiding in the corner of the platform and the wall.

First, the vicinity of the Japanese barracks fell into a sea of ​​flames, and then the surrounding wall.

There was no usable bunker outside the barracks, and the Japanese army, which was in a stalemate with the reconnaissance company, fell into a panic.

Watching the tragic situation of the Japanese army outside the building through the window, the impact point of the nearest shell was only about forty meters away from the small building.

Cao Dabao could even feel a wave of air blowing towards his face: "Damn it, I gave them the structural diagram of the airport, those grandchildren from the Artillery Battalion really dare to bomb this way!"

Cao Dabao cursed, but the power of the [-] Dagai in his hand did not diminish. Seeing the opportunity, he knocked down another devil who was a hundred meters away.

The fence of Changzhi Airport is not short, but in the battle just now, the specific location of the Japanese firepower point has been exposed.

According to this situation, the artillery shells exploded near the non-stop firepower point.Some fell inside the walls, some fell outside the walls.

The Japanese garrison was hiding inside the wall. Although it couldn't cause the maximum damage to it, the wall that was blown down smashed the little devil enough.

The unlucky Takeshi Igawa hid in the horns and was unable to dodge in time, so he was buried alive.

At this time, Wang Yigong, the regiment headquarters of the Fourth Regiment, saw that the walls of the airport had been blown down in many places, and directly asked the third battalion, which was serving as the reserve team, to go up.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Wang Yigong smashed his mouth and said: "If our fourth regiment had firepower, we wouldn't have to suffer so many casualties! It's only been ten minutes, and the little devil's position has been breached!"

"Don't even look at what's going on now. There is a reconnaissance company in the airport, and there is heavy artillery fire outside. The little devils in the airport are probably stunned. You see, the puppet troops on the east and north sides are up to now. We haven't come to support yet, so we probably got scared out of our wits, and we're going up to collect corn!" Gao Zhiheng said with a smile.

"According to this development trend, the role of infantry will become more and more useless in the future. It is really hard to imagine how far aircraft and artillery will develop in a few decades!" Wang Yigong muttered.

Both of them felt that the attack on Changzhi Airport would go well, but they didn't expect that the fourth regiment would only play the role of auxiliary workers, and the artillery would steal the limelight.

At the time of the battle at Changzhi Airport, although the Japanese troops stationed in Guancun Town did not receive a call for support, the continuous explosions alarmed the Japanese troops.

Knowing the importance of Changzhi Airport, the Japanese commander of Guancun Town, Shang Gu Zhengtai, immediately reported to the Japanese army in Changzhi City, and then assembled all the Japanese and puppet troops in the town.

An infantry squad of the Japanese army mixed with more than [-] puppet troops rushed to Changzhi Airport for reinforcements.

The two places were not far apart, but halfway through the journey, the sound of shell explosions in the direction of Changzhi Airport suddenly stopped.

Shang Gu Zhengtai was startled, and then a bad thought came to his mind. The enemy who attacked the airport had artillery, so they must have captured the airport.

"Hurry up!" Shang Gu Zhengtai yelled to urge the puppet soldiers who were grinding foreign workers to hurry up and march.

Unexpectedly, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from the front, and a large group of cavalry in gray uniforms suddenly appeared from the corner of the road.

"It's the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army!" A puppet soldier exclaimed, pointing to the cavalry ahead who were accelerating.

"Run!"

In the team, I don't know who yelled. After hearing this, many puppet soldiers ran towards the wasteland on both sides.

This move immediately exposed the Japanese army from the ranks.

The cavalry regiment was immediately divided into two parts. The cavalry company at the forefront of the attack sequence continued to attack the little devils on the road, while the rest of the cavalry regiment surrounded the wasteland on both sides, intending to trap the fleeing puppet army.

The sharp saber raised a cold light, and the Japanese army team had no time to organize a counterattack. After one round, more than fifty Japanese soldiers were cut down like melons and vegetables.

The puppet soldiers who were circled back couldn't help but feel chills watching this scene.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Guancun Town were the closest group to Changzhi Airport, but they were intercepted and killed by the cavalry regiment halfway.

At this time, the battle at Changzhi Airport was over.

Except for some of the puppet troops stationed in the gun towers and bunkers on the east and north sides of the airport and ran away when they saw the situation was not good, the rest of the Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out.

At the airport, the ten pilots of the flight team have already driven out, and under the command of Yamada Takema, they are ready to take off at any time.

"The four on the left are Type [-] fighter jets, the three in the middle are Type [-] reconnaissance planes, and the three on the right are Type [-] light bombers. At present, their performance is very superior!" Yamada Takema introduced.

　I'm very sorry, I have been in a bad state for the past few days, I resigned, and I can't finish the two chapters normally, I will try to add more tomorrow
