Ninety-eight Airport Defense

Yamamoto Fifty-six also increased the attack on the airport while transporting troops, and this night, Kane was checking the defense line with Liu Jun, and after the devils retreated, they boldly set up the defense line in the jungle five kilometers away from the airport, and even many fighters were quietly transported to the border areas.

Van Defit was also annoyed by the bombardment of the devils, and completely obeyed the advice, so Henderson Airport had nothing but a bare runway every night.

The huge air-raid shelter is made of layers of logs and earth, and the middle is supplemented by a perforated steel plate for building a runway, and the top is two or three meters thick, which can completely resist the direct fire of more than 300 mm of naval guns, which is the result of the hard work of the assault battalion recently.

In the trenches outside the cave, the soldiers were enjoying the coolness, the starry sky at night was very clear, and although the salty smell of the sea breeze was not very comfortable, it also drove away the heat and some mosquitoes.

Liu Jun asked, "Head, how long do you think the devils will attack?" Kane said: "I guess it's been a few days, haven't you read the war briefing?" The wounded Enterprise has been repaired and will be back soon, and by then, the naval forces of the two sides will begin to balance, so I reckon that if we survive tonight, it will be two or three days at most. ”

Liu Jun was a little puzzled: "Don't we all stay up every night?" How is it tonight? ”

Suddenly, the sea in the distance lit up, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he thought it was a flash of lightning, and Kane shouted "Heavy artillery attack, anti-artillery ~~"

The soldiers, who had long been accustomed to shelling, were as nimble as monkeys in the south, and they all got into the anti-artillery holes with a single hula. This is a heavy artillery bombardment, hiding in the trenches can shock people to death!

"Woo~~~ Boom" The shells fired by the 356 mm cannons on the Japanese battleships King Kong and Haruna pierced the night sky and drove like a train, and the first two positioning bombs smashed on the edge of the airport.

Immediately, eight heavy guns on each of the two ships were fired one after another, and the spare oil depot at the airfield was hit by a single gun, causing a skyrocketing fire, which provided a good target for the Japanese ships 16,000 kilometers away.

The artillery of the devil's navy is not praising him, the accuracy rate is indeed okay, hundreds of nearly 1,000 shells are basically smashed within a radius of two kilometers from the oil depot of the airport, and all the American soldiers squatting on the periphery can't help but draw crosses, "God forbid, if you don't follow the advice of Brigadier General Kane, this cannon will be smashed on the head!" ”

16 artillery pieces bombarded the whole night, and the airport guards and pilots also gritted their teeth and held on for half the night, waiting for dawn to walk over and take a look, "Oh, is this still an airport?" Liu Jun pointed to the big holes a few meters deep and said.

Kane said: "If this kind of heavy artillery hits the position, people within a radius of one hundred and fifty meters will be shocked to death!" Even a company can be wiped out by him with one shot, Bai Congxi's six divisions were blown up by heavy artillery before they entered the battlefield, and none of the ten who went back alive could not be beaten, it was not that the wolf soldiers in Guangxi could not fight, they could not fight at all! ”

The devil bombing effect was good, and the three runways of the airfield were completely destroyed, but there were not many casualties, except for a dozen or so close ones who were killed in the first wave of bombing.

The sappers began to fight hard, the large bulldozers roared to fill the pits, and all the soldiers also helped to clean up the debris, but Kane asked Liu Jun and them to lead people to sort out a makeshift runway covered with weeds in the woods, which was the result of the previous rush of commandos, although many people did not understand at the time.

At a quarter past 10 o'clock, radars stationed on the edge of the woods detected fifteen enemy planes approaching. It seems that the devil wants to fish in troubled waters, and by the way, reconnoiter the results of last night.

After a long air force competition, Yamamoto has fewer and fewer elite pilots in his hands, and today is led by Shigeru Oshima, who has participated in several battles, and the fighters are five Zeros, and the bombers are five Type One and five Type 96 land attacks, in their opinion, they came to take pictures today, and they heard that two battleships had destroyed the Kuah Island airfield yesterday, so they were in a particularly relaxed mood.

At 10:40, Shigeru Oshima's squadron could already see the land of Kuah, but before they had time to be happy, they saw more than a dozen (blue monsters) rushing down at an altitude of 8,000 meters in the direction of 12 o'clock, which was also one of the most feared planes of the Japanese army.

Shigeru Oshima didn't figure out where these planes took off from, didn't they say that the airport was blown up? Do they have aircraft carriers? However, the battle was already in sight, and he could no longer guess.

Half of the twelve Seagulls were divided into five Zeros, and the other six began to slaughter the bombers, and the battle was uninterrupted. In the past month, the Japanese army, with a fearless spirit, exchanged 52 Zeros for four Blue Monsters, and two pilots on the other side survived.

This is still the result of a few old birds inventing a kamikaze special attack, and it is estimated that it can be done twenty to one according to the real way of playing.

The night's shelling infuriated Lao Fan, and he led a large force to the Japanese Riko beachhead, opening the way with thirty M3 tanks, preparing to take the supply point of the devils in one fell swoop.

That night, the Japanese shelled again, but this time with 127-mm guns, which did not cause more damage to the airfield.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, after the all-out efforts of the sappers to repair it, the airport already had two runways that could take off and land planes, and the Cactus Air Force released six reconnaissance planes.

Smith personally rushed over with dozens of planes Hulala, first using fighter planes to attract and attack the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, twelve seagulls set the decks on fire with airborne rockets, and Lieutenant Victor Green led the bombers to drop bombs on the devil's head, and after a fierce bombing, the entire fleet was completely destroyed.

Lao Fan is also kind, the assault battalion has been fighting hard at night, so let's clean up the battlefield in the past two days.

The whole assault battalion had been killed and wounded by about fifty people in the previous night's defensive battle, and thirty-two of them had been killed, and now these four hundred people were spitting acid water as they looked at the beaches and rivers full of corpses, because they had been vomited out yesterday.

On the beach, in the creek, on the beach, in front of the position, the corpses of the devils were densely crowded. The corpses, washed with large machine guns and grenades, were even more piece-by-piece, soaked white by seawater. Swarms of flies flying. Those that have been crushed by the trailer clinging to the ground, like pieces of human paper!

I had to do it, Kane gave the order, and every gold tooth on the devil's body had to be found. As for those lunch boxes and bullet boxes, there are a lot of them. Of course, you don't need a bad gun or something, it's not enough for shipping.

The soldiers of the fifth regiment who were on guard next to them all looked at this group of misers in surprise, there are still so many good things in the corpse of this devil? Also joined the ranks of looting.

After the inspection, the disposal was simple, the sappers used excavators to dig several large pits, and the bulldozers pushed the corpses into the pile, and then piled up some sand on top of them.

Liu Jun took a piece of devil's dry food cake, looked left and right, but didn't know what it was made of, and finally couldn't help but take a bite, his eyes were round, "Bah, bah, bah" threw away the round cake, ", the little devil is a cake made of mosquitoes, mosquitoes, do you know?" ”

"Hahahaha" The person next to him laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and Kane said, "Actually, mosquitoes are quite nutritious!" ”

Lao Fan finally arrived at the perimeter of the Rico beachhead, and at the sound of an order, all the light guns and tank guns opened fire at the same time, and then, under the cover of the light tanks, the two teams launched a fierce attack on the devils from both sides, and there was only one brigade of devils guarding here, how could it withstand the attack of five or six thousand people, not to mention the tanks and artillery? And several helicopters with bullets overhead?

Except for a dozen or so who flashed into the mountains and forests, all the other devils were killed on the beach, Lao Fan looked at the mountains of materials, and he couldn't take them away for a while, so he had to give an order that made Kane thunderous: pour gasoline and set fire!

However, Lao Fan still did not forget Kane's request, and brought back all the grenadiers and Type 99 light machines, and by the way, he also brought a lot of small grenades and bullets.

Lao Fan went out this time, and the results were quite fruitful, not only brought a few comfort women who were not killed, but also had a not very good news, the devils on the island have gathered 30,000 horses, and a big war is imminent!
