Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1344 Attacking the Airport (First Update!)

"Telegrams were sent to the four brigade commanders who participated in the attack, and the troops continued to strengthen the offensive, making the Japanese army feel that we are eager to rescue the troops that are being besieged by them outside Taiyuan City!"

"However, all ministries must remember not to advance rashly. During the attack, try to give full play to the advantages of artillery fire, use artillery shells to clean up the enemy, and minimize infantry casualties!"

"Order Xiao Yunshan and the Independence Regiment to repel the Japanese attack at all costs!"

"It will be dawn in a few hours, the troops must be prepared for air defense!"

After someone went to give the order, Wang Ping stared at Zhong Chenggong and continued to ask: "Chief of Staff, what is the situation of the Japanese army at Taiyuan Airport now?"

"The security is as strict as ever!" Zhong Chenggong replied.

"A brigade of little devils guarded the airport tightly, and not a single fly could fly in. Unless there is a strong attack, there is no other way!"

Wang Ping frowned slowly, and continued to ask: "Have the attacking troops detoured back to their positions?"

"The fourth battalion, the new fourth battalion, the independent fourth battalion, the armored assault battalion, two armored assault platoons, the cavalry battalion and two cavalry companies, all in place, ready to attack at any time!"

Wang Ping immediately interjected: "At the beginning, I was afraid of bombing the little devils in Taiyuan City, staying inside the city and keeping Taiyuan City trapped."

"Now all the devils who should come out have left the city. Li Wen reported that the entire Taiyuan City now only has half a gendarmerie brigade and half a guard brigade. Many important warehouses and military facilities have been temporarily replaced by puppet troops for defense!"

"Since our goal of forcing the devils out of Taiyuan City and killing them has been achieved, there is no need to hide our strength anymore!"

"Order the commander of the fourth battalion to attack immediately, and take Taiyuan Airport for me before dawn!"

"Also, the assault speed of the troops must be fast. There are more than 30 aircraft of various types parked at Taiyuan Airport. Although many of the aircraft are not the most advanced, for our Eighth Route Army, those aircraft are treasures. So, be sure to give me Capture a few more planes!"

"And the fuel and ammunition that the devils hoarded at the airport, everything that can be seized!"

"Old Cheng, didn't Commander Liu prepare tens of thousands of local troops, guerrillas, and ordinary people for us? You draw 1 people and rush to the airport to stand by immediately. As long as we take down the airport, give me the shortest possible time The airport was evacuated."

"All the seized planes are also towed away. If there is not enough time, they will be towed nearby and hidden, and will continue to be transported to the base after dark tomorrow!"

"Rumble..."

The roar of the huge engine came from far and near, and slowly reached the ears of the little devils in the garrison brigade of Taiyuan Airport.

"It's an armored vehicle, an armored vehicle is coming!" The Devils guard sentry didn't realize that they were enemies at first.

"No, I didn't hear that Taiyuan City sent us armored troops, and the garrison in Taiyuan City didn't deploy armored troops at all!" A second lieutenant in the security position analyzed with a frown on his brows.

Then his face turned pale, and he yelled: "Baga~ They are not the imperial army, they are the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army is coming to the airport!"

"Hurry up and fire a warning shot, counterattack immediately, and block them!"

"Papa papa... da da da..."

Two light machine guns and a dozen rifles on the security position quickly fired in the direction of the sound.

"Da da da……"

The armored vehicle moved with a loud roar, and the vehicle's heavy machine gun quickly fired back, and the swishing bullets flew towards the security position like rain.

The bullets fired by the devil hit the armored vehicle, shooting a string of sparks in the sky.

The bullets fired by the armored vehicles will have results as long as they fly into the devil's guard position.

There were more than 20 devils, and nearly half of them were killed or injured in the blink of an eye.

"Retreat, retreat to the position to defend!" The captain of the second lieutenant panicked and ordered anxiously.

Just as the man stood up, before he could turn around, another round of bullets flew over.

The two bullets just hit his chest, and the powerful kinetic energy directly knocked him to the ground. The two blood holes in his chest were sprayed with blood like a fountain.

In the blink of an eye, Second Lieutenant Guizi lost consciousness and closed his eyes in despair.

The supreme commander of Taiyuan Airport is a devil commander, who was born as a pilot and has little experience in fighting positional warfare.

As soon as the battle started, the task of commanding the garrison to counterattack fell to the deputy, that is, the captain of the garrison.

If he completely let go and trusted his deputy, a garrison brigade plus an air defense squadron, even if he couldn't defend the airport, he would definitely have no problem holding on for two or three hours.

However, this Commander-in-Chief is a person who pretends to understand.

He obviously has no experience in commanding the army, but after the battle starts, he likes to point and point at the side, and even directly intervene!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has armored vehicles, and the offensive firepower is too fierce. We are only equipped with light weapons, and we are no match at all!" A second lieutenant communications officer rushed in and reported in panic.

"The outer defense line has been broken by them, the troops have suffered heavy losses, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

The captain of the defense team frowned and ordered: "Let the air defense team go!"

"The anti-aircraft squadron's anti-aircraft machine guns have been changed to flat-firing ones, which will definitely destroy the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army!"

Commander Dazuo frowned and asked, "Can anti-aircraft machine guns hit armored vehicles?"

"It can be fought! The Eighth Route Army has done it before, using a machine gun to hit our armored vehicles. If they can do it, we can do it too!"

Colonel still didn't quite believe it, and then added.

"It's still too mysterious. For the safety of the airport, the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to enter the airport."

"To the east of the airport are Eighth Route Army armored vehicles, artillery, and even cavalry. It must be their main direction~"

"Order troops from other directions of the airport to immediately reinforce the eastern battlefield, leaving only one infantry squad in each direction for vigilance!"

The captain of the garrison team frowned all of a sudden: "Sir, just as the battle has just begun, we should take out the troops in the other three directions. If the Eighth Route Army plans to attack east and west, then we will be finished!"

"I suggest that the troops in other directions stay put and gather the airport service personnel, distribute equipment, and reinforce the battlefield!"

The Colonel vetoed without hesitation: "No! Those service personnel are the logistics support personnel of the aviation force. Without them, the plane cannot take off. And they have no combat effectiveness, how can they fight against the Eighth Route Army!"

"Just follow my order just now, I trust my own judgment!"

The first-level official crushes people to death, and the deputy can only carry out the order no matter how wrong he thinks.

"Da da da……"

The anti-aircraft machine guns of the Devils Air Defense Squadron soon joined the battle.

The two armored vehicles rushing to the front stopped after a flash of sparks.
