The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 211 A Confused Battle (Second)

"Mr. Murakami...it's almost dawn, I don't think the Eighth Route Army will come to attack the airport tonight!" Zhongzuo Sato couldn't hold back.

Major Murakami glanced at his watch and replied, "It's still an hour before dawn!"

"The Eighth Route Army likes to fight night battles the most. If they really want to attack the airport, they must have fought already. They won't wait until now!"

"But we can't rule out that the Eighth Route Army did it on purpose!"

"We don't think it is possible for the Eighth Route Army to wait until now to attack the airport. They must have thought of this too! In case the Eighth Route Army goes the other way and launches an attack when we are least vigilant and think it is the least likely to attack, Instead, it will catch us off guard...I suggest that the troops stand still, continue to strengthen their guard, and take a good rest after dawn."

What Murakami said was well-founded, but Fujita Nakasa didn't think so.

The more I listened, the more I felt that Major Murakami did not want to give up his command.

I was very dissatisfied in my heart, but I couldn't say it clearly, so I could only retort with a trace of dissatisfaction: "I think you are too cautious!"

"Our planes will be ready to take off right away. The Eighth Route Army is now attacking the airport as a living target for the aviation soldiers. I promise they will kill as many as they come...Boom boom boom..."

Before Fujita Nakasa finished speaking, three balls of fire rose from a position not far away.

One of the fireballs hit the middle of the position, and in the splashing fire, three garrison soldiers were blown up on the spot. "

A second later, the violent explosion sound reached Fujita's ears.

Another glance to the side: the anti-aircraft position, the other two defensive positions... covered by artillery fire at the same time.

"It's shelling... Taiyuan Airport was attacked, and the enemy is equipped with a large number of artillery!" Fujita Nakasa suddenly panicked, and the idea of ​​regaining command from Major Murakami disappeared at the same time.

Staring at Major Murakami, he asked nervously, "What should we do next? The enemy must have a lot of troops equipped with so many cannons. Our troops are limited, and we are no match for them."

"All the garrison troops at the airport will join the battle, and all the ground staff of the aviation brigade will also join the battle, and stop the Eighth Route Army attacking the airport at all costs!" This was the first order issued by Major Murakami.

"The two planes on the runway are ready for take-off, and the ammunition is loaded... The pilots should board the plane now, and take off as soon as possible, and cover the airport garrison to repel the Eighth Route Army attack!"

"I'm going to call the military department right now and ask for reinforcements..."

"After the reinforcements arrive, attack the Eighth Route Army attacking the airport!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery strikes by the Independent Regiment are still continuing, and the seven positions attacked have been completely submerged by artillery fire, especially the air defense positions located at the four corners of the airport.

Whether it is an anti-aircraft machine gun or an anti-aircraft gun, it can easily penetrate the protective armor of armored vehicles.

The independent regiment wants to take down the airport in the shortest possible time and destroy the airport. The entire raid must be overwhelming without any accidents.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are the only weapons that can threaten armored vehicles. Huang Yu must take precautions and knock them out before they happen.

Three mortars aimed at an anti-aircraft emplacement...

In just one minute, the air defense position with a radius of more than ten meters was hit by [-] shells, and an average of two or three square meters was hit by one shell.No matter how powerful the little devils on the battlefield are, they will be blown to pieces...

"Rumble..."

Three armored vehicles roared and rushed towards the airport at a fast speed.

In the grass [-] meters away from the airport, a battalion of three main companies hesitated. A group of leopards were waiting for their prey, staring at the front with their eyes wide open, ready to jump up from the ground at any time and attack the airport. .

The shelling lasted less than two minutes, and three armored vehicles had rushed ahead of the attacking troops.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the airport garrison remained unaware of their presence.

"Start to attack..." Kong Jie raised the flare gun and ordered while pulling the trigger...

The armored vehicle that had just stopped rushed out again, and the three main companies rushed out, followed closely behind the three armored vehicles, and rushed separately to the three positions that were being covered by artillery fire.

Take them down, and the attacking force will be able to take advantage of the trend and enter the airport...

Before the crisis faced by the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan and Jinzhong was resolved, Yoshio Shinozuka received bad news from the airport.

"Your Excellency, Commander...the airport was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army..." The staff officer who answered the phone put down the microphone and hurriedly reported.

"The opponent is equipped with a large number of mortars, and the strength of the troops is unknown...It is very similar to the Eighth Route Army attacking Jinzhong..."

"Commander... there must be no accidents at the airport!" The Chief of Staff's reaction was more exaggerated than Yoshio Shinozuka's, and many of them reminded them anxiously after listening.

"Jinzhong County is only related to the safety of Taiyuan City... Taiyuan Airport is related to the safety of all Shanxi garrisons. It provides air support to the mopping forces anytime and anywhere, assists the infantry in aerial reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army's movements, and threatens the Eighth Route Army from the air!"

"If it is lost, the firepower advantage of the raiding force on the front line will be greatly reduced..."

"The Eighth Route Army will also dare to march in broad daylight because of the loss of the air threat...especially the Eighth Route Army that is attacking Jinzhong!"

"Our troops staying in Taiyuan are limited, and the only thing that can threaten their safety is the aviation!"

"If something happens to the airport, the Eighth Route Army will lose its apprehension and attack our strongholds and county towns in Taiyuan, even threatening the safety of Taiyuan..."

Shinozuka Yoshio is the supreme commander of the Shanxi garrison, and he knows better than anyone else the great role of aviation on the battlefield.

The Eighth Route Army has no anti-aircraft weapons, and the aviation force has almost no opponents on the battlefield.

In many battles, the arrival of aviation on the battlefield means that the imperial army has secured the victory, and it can also greatly increase the losses of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield and reduce the casualties of the imperial army...

All kinds of benefits mean that the importance of Taiyuan Airport is second only to Taiyuan City, and there must be no mistakes...

Before the chief of staff finished speaking, he interrupted without hesitation: "I know everything you said!"

"The top priority now is how to reinforce Taiyuan Airport and keep Taiyuan Airport!"

"How many troops can Taiyuan City deploy to reinforce the airport!"

"Deploy all the troops that can be deployed, and march quickly to reinforce the airport..."

"Send another telegram to the reinforcements in Jinzhong..."

"After keeping Jinzhong, return to Taiyuan Airport immediately!"

The chief of staff frowned and replied: "At most, two squadrons and more than [-] people can be deployed to reinforce the airport!"

Shinozuka Yoshio immediately ordered: "Then don't be dazed, and send them to Taiyuan Airport immediately...the speed must be fast..."

"The Eighth Route Army is attacking Jinzhong and Taiyuan Airport... How many people are there, what are their numbers, and how many heavy weapons are they equipped with? Haven't the intelligence agencies figured it out yet?"

"I have fought for so many years, and I have never been so confused as I am now!"

"The enemy has killed us right under our noses, and we don't even know who the opponent is!"

"Tell the intelligence department, I'll give them another hour, if they still can't find out the identity of the other party, the military department will definitely not let them go..."

In Jinzhong City, the former enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment has been transferred to the former Japanese garrison headquarters...

The large-scale battle that took place in the city has ended, and the troops are splitting up to wipe out the remaining stragglers in the city.

"Second Battalion Commander..." Li Wensheng looked at Xiao Yuan and ordered.

"Here!" Xiao Yuanchang immediately stood up.

"How many people in the second battalion can continue to fight, and do they still have the strength to continue?" Li Wensheng asked directly.

"Report to the chief of staff... plus the recruit company, there are 512 people left in the second battalion to continue fighting..."

"The morale of the soldiers is high, at least [-]% of their physical strength is still there, and it will be no problem to fight two more battles!"

"Do you know where Taiyuan Airport is?" Li Wensheng asked with satisfaction.

"Knowing... After knowing that our interspersed targets are Jinzhong and Taiyuan, I started to study the map, and I have thoroughly studied the map of Taiyuan... Starting from here, I can kill Taiyuan Airport in two and a half hours by rushing!" Xiao Yuan Chang was very self-confident, but didn't know that the head of the regiment had already taken people to attack Taiyuan Airport, so he asked with anticipation.

"Chief of Staff, you don't want us to attack Taiyuan Airport, do you?"

"The leader has already gone!" Li Wensheng replied with a smile.

"The first battalion took down the Jinzhong Japanese Army Garrison Command and went to Taiyuan Airport with the head of the regiment... The assault company also passed by, and brought three mortar companies, one regiment directly under the artillery company, and one cavalry company... Take It will be no problem getting off to the airport!"

"I asked you to go to the airport to serve as the commander's reserve team... Based on what I know about the commander and Huang Yu, they are definitely not limited to taking the airport and ending the battle. I always feel that they will use a larger-scale battle to fight against the devils." , Reinforce the base!"

There will definitely be a big battle with the leader, especially when the leader is still with Huang Yu.

Compared with cleaning the battlefield in Jinzhong and transferring the spoils, following the regiment leader will definitely fight more battles, and immediately take orders: "Please rest assured, the Chief of Staff, the Second Battalion will definitely be able to reach Taiyuan Airport within two and a half hours!"

Li Wensheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "The troops set out immediately..."

"The third battalion left three main companies to continue to eliminate the remnants of the enemy in the city, cooperate with the underground party to attack the traitors in the city, the devil's business, and seize all the ill-gotten gains in their hands..."

"If you have the conditions, find a way to find a merchant in the city to exchange all the ocean and banknotes for gold that is easy to carry. It doesn't matter if you lose..."

"All the others went to the arsenal to transfer ammunition, mainly shells and bullets, and all of them were transferred out of Jinzhong County. The faster the better!"

At Taiyuan Airport, the three armored vehicles are as powerful as a bamboo, easily breaking through the barbed wire fence around the airport...

The battle situation at this moment was exactly the same as Huang Yu's judgment. The three defensive positions covered by artillery fire still spewed out eight or nine tongues of fire, striking the infantry behind the armored vehicles in crossfire...

Armored vehicles can help them block the bullets in front of them, but they cannot block the bullets from the flanks.

The bullets roared, knocking down a large group of soldiers in an instant.

"All lay down...the mountain guns and infantry guns are set up immediately, and kill the little devil's hidden firepower!" The three company commanders who were in charge of the main attack ordered at the same time.

The armored vehicle has sent the artillery battery to a position less than [-] meters away from the firepower point, aiming directly at the fire.

Accompanied by a series of "rumbling..." explosions, ten shells flew towards the Japanese machine gun bunker together.

Thirty percent of the firepower was killed on the spot, and the fire was instantly misfired.

"Rumble..."

The mountain artillery and infantry artillery continued to fire... Only three rounds of shelling killed all the firepower points on the three defensive positions.
