Chapter 280: Attacking Taiyuan
After chasing the pilots and ground crews on the runway, the bombers turned around and bombed the airport's buildings, such as hangars, towers and terminals. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”
At this time, the air defense units, which had been caught off guard by air raids, finally reacted, and several anti-aircraft guns began to fire continuously at the fighters of the Eighth Route Army.
However, the fighters of the Eighth Route Army had already seized the opportunity, and before the anti-aircraft guns could fire a few shots, they were wiped into pieces by a huge aerial bomb, and the losses of the anti-aircraft guns and artillery disappeared in place, leaving a huge deep pit.
Of course, the Eighth Route Army was not without sacrifices, the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns still had a certain power, and an inexperienced pilot was hit by the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun fire attack because he was too nervous, plus he was piloting a weakly protected Type 97 fighter, and he was blown up by volley on the spot.
"Onboard!"
Seeing this, the Japanese air defense units cheered one after another, but unfortunately they could not laugh for three seconds, seeing that their comrades were blown up in the air, other pilots of the Eighth Route Army were furious, and they continued to drop aerial bombs, which wiped out the air defense units that were still cheering before.
Deafening explosions sounded one after another from the Japanese air defense positions, and the Japanese troops seemed to be plunged into hellfire, constantly torn to pieces by bombs and machine gun bullets.
In less than five minutes, the Japanese air defense units were exhausted of dead and wounded, and could no longer threaten the planes of the Eighth Route Army.
After dealing with the Japanese air defense units, the Type 97 heavy crit planes of the Eighth Route Army no longer had the slightest concern, and dropped to a low altitude of two or three hundred meters to continuously drop bombs on the ground buildings of the airport.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and a mushroom cloud rose from the roof of the airport tower, and the tower's steel bars could no longer support it, and suddenly collapsed, and the entire tower was razed to the ground.
"Boom!"
Another mushroom cloud rose, and the hangar and the planes inside exploded in a shocking explosion, turning all people and things into smoke and disappearing without a trace.
Without the restraint of the air defense forces, the Type 97 heavy crit planes continued to bomb the airfield, and mushroom clouds rose one after another, and after more than 10 minutes, the entire airfield buildings were razed to the ground, and there was not a trace of human population in the entire airfield.
Seeing that the bombing mission was completed and night was about to fall, the satisfied air brigade began to return, leaving behind a messy ruins of the airfield, leaving the Japanese army air force stationed in Taiyuan to nothing, and this meant that the air threat of the instructor's attack on Taiyuan had disappeared, and the biggest obstacle to taking Taiyuan was removed.
At 5:40 p.m., the provisional supreme commander of the Japanese army in Taiyuan, Honchuan Province, received the news that the Taiyuan airfield had been destroyed by the Chinese Air Force, and he immediately sent a squadron of Japanese troops to check on it, and as a result, he brought back the depressing news.
The Taiyuan Air Force was destroyed and exhausted, and without the escort of the Air Force, Taiyuan City at this time was like a girl stripped naked, defenseless.
The more Sanyue in Benchuan Province thought about it, the more worried he became, the Chinese army even had an air force, would they let him go of Taiyuan City?
Obviously, no, the current defense force of Taiyuan is extremely weak, the Japanese army has less than 4,000 troops, and the puppet army security regiment that has just been formed is simply useless, and such a weak force is simply not enough to defend Taiyuan, an important town in North China.
Just when the three dan of Benchuan Province were frightened, a Japanese officer came to report, saying that there was a large-scale riot in the entire Taiyuan city at the same time, and several Japanese patrols were attacked by the people of China on the street, losing more than 100 Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops defending the city gate were rushing to suppress it.
Benchuan Province's heart suddenly chuckled, and he shouted: "Order them to return to defense immediately, Hugh is going to fall for the strategy of the people of Zhina to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”
However, the order of Benchuan Province 3 was issued too late, and four red signal flares had suddenly risen in the sky at this time, and then a deafening artillery bombardment sounded around the four city gates of Taiyuan.
When the air raid on Taiyuan Airport and the riots in the city were detonated one after another, the time was completely ripe for attacking Taiyuan, and Zhang Cheng immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the troops to attack from all sides of Taiyuan.
"Boom!"
Shells as big as a sand bowl fell around the Japanese city gate, and because most of the Japanese garrison troops went to suppress the riots, the few Japanese troops in the city gate garrison were quickly overwhelmed by the dense cannonballs and turned into a wisp of smoke.
In particular, the divisional combat units that attacked the south gate of Taiyuan, although they attacked the smallest number of people, the divisional troops with artillery brigades were the first to break through the city gate of Taiyuan.
With Sun Youdao's order, the artillery brigade's nearly 800 artillery pieces collapsed the south gate with just one round of bombardment, and seeing that the city gate was open, Zhang Fengming, chief of staff of the division who was in charge of commanding the division's direct combat troops, immediately made a decision and immediately ordered thousands of officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment and guard regiment to rush forward and attack Taiyuan.
At this time, Yang Jingjie Dazuo, the captain of the 136th Wing who had just arrived near the south gate, happened to see this scene, and his face suddenly turned pale with fright, the battle to defend Taiyuan had just begun, and the city gate was opened by the Zhina army, which made him have the confidence to hold the city.
"Yaga! How can the damned China Army have so many artillery? Quick, go and block the gates! Yang Jingjie Dazuo shouted in horror.
"Captain, there are too many people in the Zhina army, we can't stand it!" The adjutant beside him watched the dense Eighth Route Army rush into the city gate, and said timidly.
"Yours, big coward, one of the warriors of our Imperial Japanese Army can support ten of that army, and they will all charge me!" Yang Jingjie Dazuo ordered angrily.
"Dada......"
Finally, the Japanese soldiers mustered up the courage to launch a counter-charge against the Eighth Route Army that swarmed into the city in the roar of Yangjing Festival Dazuo, but the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who led the charge almost all had a light machine gun and 37 bars, and they showed no mercy and swept the Japanese soldiers who wanted to fight with them with bayonets, and reimbursed dozens of devils at once.
"Yaga! The people of China are not the work of warriors, and they don't fight with our imperial army with bayonets, it's too despicable! Yang Jingjie Dazuo roared angrily.
"Captain, the people of China have rushed in, we really can't stand it, why don't we retreat first?" The adjutant beside him saw that the general situation was not good, and he had already had the idea of retreating.
"We must not retreat, once we retreat, the city gate will be lost, we must give full play to the warrior spirit of the imperial army, fight to the death, and wait for other troops to resolve the riot and soon reinforce us."
Yang Jingjie Dazuo didn't give up at this time, but a righteous bullet quickly hit his head, not only to his heart, but also to his body.
