In a bush two kilometers southeast of Beiping Airport, sixteen mortars have raised their muzzles, pointing directly at the airport apron.

Dozens of gunners squatted on the gun positions, and there was a box of ten shells next to each mortar, waiting for the order to fire.

The inside of the airport was brightly lit. After the sweep against Mao’er Mountain began, in order to prevent the airport from being attacked again, Neiji Okamura not only tripled the number of mortars for the airport defense team, but also asked them to strengthen their guard. More than twice as many troops on duty are patrolling and guarding.

Within Huang Yu's field of vision, there were little devils patrolling back and forth.

Several towers were built on the commanding heights of the airport, and each tower was equipped with three heavy machine guns and two anti-aircraft machine guns. No matter which direction the airport was attacked, the attackers would be stared at by the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the two towers.

Two trenches were dug between the towers, and there were machine gun positions all over them. Outside the trenches, three barbed wire fences were pulled by the devils, and landmines were buried between the barbed wire fences.

These fortifications directly surrounded the airport into an impenetrable military fortress.

If there is no offensive heavy weapon, the towers and minefields will be destroyed immediately, and the troops of two or three regiments will not be able to enter the airport.

"It seems that the little devil has learned a lot. The defense of the airport is at least twice as tight as it was a month ago." Huang Yu sighed while observing.

Duan Peng's expression was very relaxed, and he replied calmly: "There is no such thing as a good defensive position in front of mortars."

"We launched an attack from two kilometers away, and the artillery shells fell from the sky, and the airport defense team couldn't defend against it."

"Captain, it's almost time..."

"The earlier the attack is launched, Okamura Neiji will be able to know our existence earlier, and the earlier the troops will be sent back to help, and the pressure of the guerrilla brigade to counter the mopping up will be much less."

Huang Yu nodded, raised his binoculars and looked at the airport again. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he ordered decisively: "Shoot out all the shells you brought with you as quickly as possible, withdraw when you are done, and fire..."

"Tom tom tom..."

The dull sound of shelling soon sounded behind him, but Huang Yu's attention was always on the airport. After several seconds, a string of orange-red flames rose from the airport apron, and several seconds later, the sound of shell explosions came back .

The two planes were instantly submerged in the artillery fire, and the airport became lively at the same time.

The alarm rang loudly, and groups of little devils rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes, and went straight to the position with weapons.

There are still many little devils rushing to the tarmac, trying to divert the planes there...

There is chaos everywhere,
"Boom boom boom..." The sound of the second round of shell explosion quickly reached Huang Yu's ears, and another plane was covered by artillery fire.

The bombardment continued, and after the sixth round of shells flew out, seven planes had been destroyed on the tarmac, and two planes were blown up, turning into a blazing fireball.

Huang Yu's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed.

With this progress, after 160 rounds of shells were fired, there were not many aircraft left on the tarmac, even if they were not completely destroyed. For the aviation unit of the North China Front Army, it was definitely a heavy loss.

"Boom boom boom..."

The violent explosion sound reached Huang Yu's ears again, and then Duan Peng, who was squatting aside, threw him on the ground, and the scorching air wave swept from his back at the same time.

Huang Yu was taken aback by the explosion. He didn't expect that the little devil's airport defense team would have such a backup player, and he wanted to launch artillery fire himself to counterattack.

But his reaction was not slow at all. As soon as he realized that he had been fooled, the retreat command shouted from his mouth: "We have been fooled, move quickly, hurry up, the mortar is gone, and evacuate people first. "

"If you don't leave, it will be too late. There are at least [-] mortars that counterattacked us just now. No matter how you hit us, we are no match. Get back quickly..."

Huang Yu quickly got up from the ground, and just after running five or six meters away, the second round of shells rained down, and one of the shells hit him not far away.

If it wasn't for his high vigilance, he would have fallen down immediately and would have turned into a corpse by now.

Before the sound of the explosion stopped, he got up from the ground and continued to move and retreat.

It took 1 minute to run continuously before withdrawing from the area covered by Japanese artillery fire.

The place has already been bombed to the sky, if the troops withdraw half a minute later, it is very likely that there will be nothing left from the bombing.

Duan Peng's arm was scratched by fragments, and the blood stained his sleeves red. After a simple bandage, he walked towards Huang Yu and said angrily: "Commander, you little devil is too cunning. We have launched so many sneak attacks. We were so embarrassingly bombed by the devil's counterattack fire once, we must avenge this revenge."

Huang Yun's face was sullen and he didn't speak.

The little devil's airport defense team is just an infantry brigade, normally equipped with nine to twelve mortars, but the mortars that attacked him just now had at least thirty, which is abnormal.

If Neiji Okamura deliberately arranged this for himself, then the other Japanese and puppet troops around Peiping must also be equipped with a large number of mortars. If the outside troops want to use mortars to threaten the security of Peiping, they will not be able to achieve their goal.

The security of Beiping will not be affected, Okamura Ningji will not transfer troops from Maoer Mountain to help, and he will not be able to relieve the combat pressure of the guerrilla brigade in the mountain.

The more he thought about it, the heavier his face became, and at the same time, he realized that he had underestimated Neiji Okamura's strength.

He had just suffered a big loss in his own hands and lost all face, no matter how stupid he was, he would never make a second mistake on the same issue.Since he dared to gather all the mobile troops into the mountain to sweep Maoer Mountain, he must have made full preparations.

I was too careless, and I didn't expect Okamura Ningji to have broken his trick of attacking them with artillery fire, which led to the immediate failure.

Looking at the unstoppable artillery attack not far away, Huang Yu blamed himself all over his heart, and now he only hoped that the troops would suffer fewer casualties and lose a few mortars in this artillery attack.

Five minutes later, the devil's artillery counterattack finally stopped. After confirming that the airport garrison had not dispatched troops, Huang Yu carefully returned to the artillery position.

The tragedy in front of my eyes was far beyond my imagination.

The normal rate of fire of mortars is ten rounds per minute. The devils fought for five minutes just now, and each mortar fired fifty rounds. More than 5 mortars fired at least 30 rounds at this point, which is equivalent to Every square meter of land was hit by at least one shell, and the density of shells can definitely be described as terrifying.

Looking around, there is almost no complete body in the area covered by the artillery fire, which shows how tragic the artillery fire just now was.

Sixteen mortars were blown up and down, at least half of the mortars were blown into parts, and many barrels were bent. Huang Yu was heartbroken, and the regret on his face became more and more intense.

"Leader, the losses have been calculated." Duan Peng walked over with his head down and reported.

"The artillery suffered the greatest loss. They were the first to be covered by the devil's artillery fire. There were a total of 68 gunners, only 18 were pulled out, and the remaining fifty gunners were all sacrificed."

"Forty-nine people from the guard company and the special operations team sacrificed, leaving 49 people to continue fighting."

"Only three of the sixteen mortars can continue to be used. All the other mortars were destroyed. Two heavy machine guns were lost and one remained. Eight light machine guns were lost and nine remained."

"The price is too high, it's all my fault, thinking about the problem is too simple, I underestimated Neiji Okamura's command ability..." Huang Yu said with a painful expression on his face as if his heart had been pricked by a needle.

Staring at the airport is like looking at an enemy, his eyes are full of anger, and his hands are clenched into fists because of anger, with blue veins exposed.

After a while, he ordered with a calm face: "Take the weapons and ammunition that can be used, and retreat immediately, we can't stay here any longer."

"We will definitely take revenge tonight, but not now."

"withdraw……"

After five kilometers away from the airport, Duan Peng caught up with Huang Yu and asked, "Commander, why don't we go to Tong County next, where the troops stationed there are all second devils, who are much easier to fight than little devils."

Huang Yu shook his head: "We can't take it even if we beat it."

"We only have more than 100 people, three mortars, and one heavy machine gun, which is not enough to give Tongxian garrison teeth."

"It's hard to get it off with tricks."

"Ningji Okamura has already guessed that we will send troops to raid Beiping to reduce the combat pressure of the guerrilla brigade, and deliberately strengthen the airport garrison several times with mortars to target our artillery raids."

"They also suffered from our losses in Tong County, and they learned a lot of wisdom. It is impossible for the Tong County garrison to be unprepared. Killing them now is tantamount to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."

Duan Peng was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "Then what should I do?"

"The guerrilla brigade is still fighting desperately with the devil's mopping up troops in the mountains, and may encounter danger at any time. If we don't get results quickly here and force Neji Okamura to send troops back to help, Maoer Mountain may be occupied by devils at any time."

"Go back to Mao'er Mountain..." Huang Yu said the solution he just thought of to break the situation.

"Ningji Okamura had already guessed in advance that we would raid Beiping, and made preparations. If we continue to fight outside the mountains, there will be no results. Maybe we will lose two more battles, losing our wife and losing our army."

"Artillery is our trump card for raiding the little devils outside the mountain. Now that it is gone, the army is like a tiger that has lost its fangs. Its combat effectiveness has dropped sharply. It is no longer suitable to stay outside the mountain."

"It's better to go back to Mao'er Mountain and use the favorable terrain there to fight guerrillas and mobile warfare against the devils."

"Only there can the melee advantages of special forces be fully utilized."

…………

At the North China Front Command of the Japanese Army in Beiping, Neiji Okamura was awakened by the chief of staff on duty in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he received the bad news that the airport had been attacked.

In a hurry, he sat up from the bed, put on his military uniform and ran to the war room.

As a result, as soon as he entered the room, he received the good news that the airport guard had repelled the attackers.

The staff officer on duty didn't want to let go of this good opportunity to flatter him, so after talking with the airport defense team on the phone, he said flatteringly, "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise."

"Airport Garrison Report: The airport apron was suddenly attacked by unknown mortars, at least fifteen."

"They concentrated all their mortars to fight back, and the enemy was not an opponent at all."

"After the battle, we found thirteen mortar parts, a large number of soldier corpses, and a large number of blown up light and heavy machine guns in the enemy's artillery position. The enemy who attacked the airport was directly blown up by our artillery fire."

"All of this is similar to your previous inference, and it's almost predictable."
