Chapter 227: Killing Chickens with a Knife
Yangmingbao Airport is located south of Guangwu, Xinkou, and north of the original Pingcheng. It is also located on the edge of the railway line of Jin Province, and the strategic location is very important. The key is that Yangmingbao Airport is one of the most important airports in the occupied area of Jin Province by the Japanese army, and during the Battle of Xinkou, this airport was the frontline air base of Xinkou and Taiyuan where the Japanese fighters attacked the front of the Jin Sui Army.
Although most of Jin Province had been occupied by the Japanese army at this time, it stands to reason that Yangmingbao Airport was no longer so important. However, since Shaanxi Province in the west has the base of the 18th Group Army, Yangmingbao Airport is still very important.
At this time, Junichiro Ikeda, the leader of the squadron defending the airport, and his henchman, Kotaro Nishioka, the leader of the first squad, finally returned to the lounge of the airport in the cold wind after patrolling the night until almost ten o'clock in the cold weather.
At this time, most of the Japanese defenders of the airport were also cold, and they did not know that on the periphery of the flying snow, a new regiment of troops had already surrounded the airport.
"Regiment commander, the brothers have surrounded the airport, and all the departments have sent people to report that they have entered the attack position and can attack at any time!" Behind a dirt slope on the left periphery of the airfield, less than 30 meters away from the outermost barbed wire fortifications deployed by the Japanese airfield, a new regiment of heralds whispered to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong nodded, his eyes fixed on the watch on his wrist.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong smiled deeply and said to Wei Dayong on the side: "Monk, you can shoot a signal flare and start attacking!" ”。
Monk Wei stayed by Li Yunlong's side at any time, and when he heard this, he smiled and took out a signal flare, and immediately raised his right hand and pulled the trigger upward!
"Bang!" A gunshot and a flare exploded in the dark night sky.
In an instant, in Wang Chengzhu's artillery position, five Japanese-made mortars fired mortar shells with a caliber of 60 mm at Yangmingbao Airport.
"Bang bang bang!" Mortar shells rang out, and a piercing sound rang out in the sky.
At this time, Junichiro Ikeda, the leader of the squadron defending the airport, had just fallen asleep, and suddenly a violent explosion shook the little devil.
In fact, the explosion of the mortar, the bed of the shaking devil shook, and it was impossible to be full of sleep!
"Baga Ya Road! Not good, enemy attack! In an instant, Junichiro Ikeda was awakened by the explosion of the shell, and he quickly thought that the airfield was under enemy fire!
Because, it can't be that the Japanese airfield defenders themselves caused the shells to explode! What's more, at this time, the airport defenders only had Liu Gu's grenadier canister, and the power of the grenadier can't be so powerful, even the window glass in the lounge where Junichiro Ikeda was located was shattered.
So, it must have been the enemy artillery bombardment!
Sure enough, soon, an embarrassed and panicked devil squad leader, who was also the first squad leader under Junichiro Ikeda, Kotaro Nishioka, pushed open the small door of the lounge where Junichiro Ikeda was in a hurry, and said urgently: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the enemy is attacking." The enemy used mortars to carry out artillery attacks, and four of the six machine gun bunkers on the open surface of the ground had been blown up by enemy artillery fire, and all the watchtowers were blown up, and the heavy machine guns on them could not be used! The situation is urgent! ”。
"Baga Ya Road! Fight back now! Hurry up and drop! Junichiro Ikeda hurriedly ordered Kotaro Nishioka, and he himself immediately got up and went out.
"Hayi, squadron leader!" Nishioka Kotaro was stunned when he heard this, and immediately rushed away to direct the Japanese counterattack.
As soon as Junichiro Ikeda went out, the old devil immediately saw the scene of shells exploding everywhere at the airport, and a violent explosion appeared in front of Junichiro Ikeda.
Shells exploded everywhere, tearing apart the Japanese soldiers who were running around the airport, and only the Japanese veterans hid in place, hiding as much as possible in the fortifications.
"Damn! Which of the troops of the Zhina Army actually came to attack our airfield? When Junichiro Ikeda saw the violent explosion at the airfield, the veteran devil with experience in the battlefield immediately understood that the enemy's artillery fire was constantly being carried out by at least three or more mortars.
But at this time, Junichiro Ikeda had no choice, and the shouts of killing resounded around the airport.
The old devil looked around, and found that the new regiment was attacking fiercely, and had begun to attack the barbed wire fortifications.
"Boom, boom!" The explosions continued, one after another the shells exploded, and the scattered shell fragments mercilessly harvested the Japanese soldiers who hurriedly counterattacked.
Although the Japanese soldiers of Ikeda's squadron were also an elite squadron of Japanese soldiers with rich battlefield experience, in the face of Wang Chengzhu's overwhelming artillery shells, the fragments of the shells were also blown to pieces.
"Bagaya Road, hide quickly! Machine guns, machine guns, give me a counterattack! Junichiro Ikeda shouted angrily, the shells kept falling into the airport and exploding, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed out to fight back did not expect that the enemy who attacked the airport would actually have artillery attack, and the bombed people suddenly turned on their backs and suffered heavy casualties!
The Japanese infantry squadrons did not have artillery, and only the Japanese units above the brigade size had artillery attached. However, Yangmingbao Airport was defended by artillery fire during the Battle of Xinkou. It's just that after the end of the Battle of Xinkou and the little devils occupied most of Jin Province such as Xinkou and Taiyuan successively, there was no need for Yangmingbao Airport to stay artillery for defense.
After all, the Japanese State is an island country, and its strategic resources are extremely poor, and its limited resources are concentrated in the navy, and the army's artillery resources are very scarce.
Therefore, at this time, after the end of the Battle of Xinkou at Yangmingbao Airport, the artillery at the airport has been transferred to support the Japanese troops in other important battlefields. At this time, the old devil Junichiro Ikeda wanted to order an artillery counterattack, but there was nothing!
At this time, Li Yunlong had already commanded all his troops to begin to besiege Yangmingbao Airport, although there were two barbed wire fences around the airport, but it was easy for Wang Chengzhu to blow it up with mortars, and a large army rushed into the airport from all directions to attack it.
Under the first round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese defenders of the airfield, at least the Japanese soldiers hiding in the airport bunkers suffered heavy casualties, and then although the other Japanese soldiers were lucky enough to survive the first round of artillery bombardment by Wang Chengzhu. The machine gun did not counterattack for half a minute, and was soon completely dumbed by Wang Chengzhu's accurate artillery fire.
Zhang Dabiao and others immediately braved the scattered firepower of the Japanese army at the airport and entered the airport in one go. The Japanese defenders at the airfield had only one squadron, but more than 200 people, and the new regiment attacked the airfield with more than 1,300 troops.
