my bright sword career

Chapter 724

"Hurry up... move another [-] sandbags here to build a simple firepower point. This firepower point will form crossfire with the two firepower points next to it. Two foxholes will be dug here as auxiliary cover."

"You all remember, this airport is our lifeline. As long as the airport is there, we have hope. Once the airport is gone, we will really be finished."

At the airport, Gao Jiwen pointed to the engineers and soldiers who were still constructing fortifications in full swing and told Liu Shuren.

The willow tree man slapped his chest loudly: "Master, put your heart in your belly. As long as I, Old Liu, still breathe, the airport will not be lost, otherwise you will take my head off!"

"You boy, don't do this with me, your head is worthless to me, all I want is the airport!"

The willow man said loudly: "Understood... we must protect the airport!"

The people of Gaoji turned around and looked. Although only two days had passed, this place, which originally had only one dirt runway, was not even considered a field airport. The three runways paved with steel plates were like straight arrows. point to the distance.

Among the three runways, the leftmost and middle ones are slightly shorter, only more than 500 meters long. The rightmost runway is the longest, with a length of 300 meters.

As for why it was repaired so quickly, the reason is very simple, because since yesterday morning, more than ten JU-52 transport planes have been flying back and forth between Tonggu and Yangon in different ways.

Not only did they bring Marston's perforated steel plates for laying the runway and the urgently needed weapons, ammunition and medicines of the 200th Division, they also took away hundreds of seriously wounded when they returned.

With the Marston perforated steel plate, the construction of the runway becomes much simpler.

The engineers only need to repair the ground a little bit, and then lay perforated steel plates to build a runway for propeller planes to take off and land. This principle is the same as building blocks, so that on the third day, one has three This is how the airport with the runway was built.

After owning the long runway, Gao Hongming did not hesitate at all, and dozens of C47 transport planes that had already been prepared took off from Liantai immediately.

When the first batch of C47 transport planes loaded with personnel and supplies landed at the newly built airport, the Gaoji people who had been waiting here were overjoyed. Now he took time out of his busy schedule to come to the airport just to receive the first batch of reinforcements.

That's right, it was reinforcements. When he heard that there were reinforcements, he had persisted in Tonggu for more than three months, and Gao Jiwen, who never complained no matter how hard it was, immediately had red eye circles.

What is the lone army most afraid of?
Of course, there is no food inside and no reinforcements outside, but as long as the communication with the outside is kept open, the wounded can be transported out, and reinforcements can come in, the morale of the troops can be maintained.

"Buzzing..."

Another fleet appeared in the sky, and its scale was larger than the fleets seen in the past two days... The reinforcements that the soldiers of the 200 Division had been waiting for day and night finally arrived.

"Reporting to the commander... Wu Chengfeng, deputy commander of the Liantai Militia and commander of the first battalion, and You Tianliang, commander of the third battalion, have been ordered to report. Please give instructions!"

Looking at the lieutenant colonel who was nearly forty years old and the major on the other side, Gao Jiwen's first words were: "Deputy Commander Wu, how many of you are here this time?"

"Sir, we have two battalions in total, with a total of 520 people!"

"More than 500 people?" Gao Jiwen frowned slightly. The number seemed a bit small, and then asked: "What about the next batch? How many people can come?"

"Sir, that's all for now."

Wu Chengfeng shook his head, "I received an order to lead two battalions to come from Shanxi overnight for reinforcements by transport plane, and Commander Gao didn't say anything about follow-up reinforcements."

"Only two battalions?"

Gao Jiwen's heart sank, and before he could speak, the willow man beside him couldn't help but said, "Deputy head Wu, this is too little, right? Such a small number of people is not enough for a day's fight!"

"Willowman, shut up!" Gao Jiwen glared, "How did you talk? Did you talk to the brothers who came for reinforcements like this?"

"No... Teacher, it's not that my old willow dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know good people. It's because the little devil's offensive is too fierce. Just this morning, we just recruited a company of reinforcements to reinforce the 599 regiment, and it took less than two The hour was gone.

I just want to ask, how long can the more than 1000 people brought by Deputy Head Wu last? "

Hearing this, Gao Jiwen, who had scolded Liushuren just now, sighed lightly. As the attrition of the troops became more serious, the position of the 200th Division became smaller and smaller. The company that reinforced the 599th Regiment this morning was still his company from the division headquarters. The logistics were cobbled together.

Originally, I hoped to last a little longer, but I didn't expect that it would be sold out before noon. It's no wonder that the willow man lost his composure. If he couldn't do it, he would have to draw people from the engineering corps.

But if the Corps of Engineers draws people, what will happen to the airport? Now the airport is their last retreat. Once the construction of the airport stops, if something goes wrong, the 200th division will really be over.

Wu Chengfeng spoke: "Commander Gao and Commander Liu, don't worry, although our regiment only sent two of our battalions, the airport has been initially completed.

In case of any accident, we can still ask the headquarters for reinforcements, and I believe the Minister's Department will not ignore us.

Besides, it's not that I underestimate the little devil, they want to eat our two battalions in one day, just because he doesn't have such good teeth!Please place your order now! "

Looking at Wu Chengfeng's slightly haughty expression, Gao Jiwen and Liu Shuren looked at each other.

Liu Shuren wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Wu Chengfeng's confident expression, he swallowed his words back. People came all the way for reinforcements. If he said frustrating words to attack others, he would be too incapable of being a man.

Gao Jiwen was silent for a while, "Okay, since Deputy Head Wu, since you have said so, then I will not say anything... Now I order!"

"Snapped!"

Wu Chengfeng stood at attention and looked at Gao Jiwen.

"In view of the fact that both the head and deputy head of the 599th regiment have been killed, I now order the temporary position of the head of the 599th regiment. Now you leave a battalion and lead a battalion to reinforce Kunsha Street. You are not allowed to retreat, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Wu Chengfeng saluted with a snap, ran to the first battalion that had already assembled, and shouted loudly, and then more than 700 people in the whole battalion, led by a staff officer who acted as a guide, ran towards the Tonggu City, which was under heavy fire. .

Looking at the squads of Liantai militia soldiers who were neatly formed and well-built, carrying all kinds of weapons, the willow tree man showed envy in his eyes, and licked his tongue and praised.

"It is said that the Liantai militia is a veritable Gao family army, with top-notch treatment and equipment. I didn't quite believe it before, but now I believe it."

"What's the use of having good equipment, you have to be able to fight." Gao Jiwen said, watching the traces of Wu Chengfeng and others with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Hopefully they last a little longer."
