Chapter 101: Annihilation of the Kawamoto Special Combat Team
On the top of the cliff of Dongshanzuizi Mountain, Shiro Kawamoto and his more than 300 special combat teams finally arrived at the last cliff behind Beiling Airport after many difficulties.
However, at this time, Shiro Kawamoto and his subordinates fell into hesitation.
The altitude of Dongshanzuizi is not high, but it is very steep, especially in the direction of Beiling Airport.
The mountain is vertically shaped and tens of meters high, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to climb these steep cliffs of dozens of meters or land safely from them.
Even Zhang Xinghan, if he is well prepared in advance, at most he will be able to slide down the cliff safely.
But if you want to climb this steep and smooth cliff up to tens of meters, with the technical equipment of this era, it is absolutely impossible to rely on manpower alone.
In other words, if Shiro Kawamoto and his special combat team choose to come down, it is to embark on a road of no return, and only by defeating the opponent can they have a chance to fight their way out.
Otherwise, they will become turtles in an urn, and they will not escape.
This is also the reason why Shiro Kawamoto and his subordinates hesitated.
Looking at the Beiling Airport, which was close at hand and within easy reach, Shiro Kawamoto finally gave up the idea of retreating, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Prepare to go down the cliff!" ”
"Sir, this cliff is extremely steep and smooth, if you go down, I'm afraid you won't be able to come up again." The adjutant reminded.
Shiro Kawamoto stared at the Beiling Airport in the distance, and said coldly: "I know this, but this is precisely where our advantage lies, you think so, the people of China must also think so, there is no possibility of enemy troops here, so our chances of success have increased by one percent."
Pass my order, all combat squads immediately prepare to go down the cliff, and then attack the Beiling Airport if they do not intend to do so, and we will definitely be able to succeed in a battle, and at that time, we will be the heroes of the Manchurian Incident and even the Yamato nation, and all monarchs will be honored! ”
"Hay!" The adjutant was enthusiastically boiled by Shiro Kawamoto's words, and immediately bowed his head and took the order.
After a short time, some devil soldiers began to prepare ropes and other things, and began to descend the cliff one after another.
It wasn't until the first battle team successfully descended the cliff that Shiro Kawamoto grabbed a rope and personally led the team down the slide.
About half an hour later, all the more than 300 devil soldiers slipped down from the top of the cliff smoothly, and except for two devils who fell into a slight injury due to a weak rope, there was no loss.
As Kawamoto had predicted, the garrison ordered to garrison the airport did not expect the enemy to appear on the cliff behind the airport.
Therefore, the main defense forces were deployed in front of the airfield and outside the various hangars and ammunition depots.
At this critical moment, Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye arrived at Beiling Airport by jeep with a company of guards.
The airport guard had already notified Gao Zhihang, the captain of the air team, and others, and after getting the news, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang came out to greet them.
As soon as the two sides met, before they could greet each other, a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the rear of the airport, and a dazzling fire broke out.
"What's going on?" Gao Zhihang looked back in shock and asked.
Liu Cuigang shook his head and didn't know.
Zhang Xinghan, who had just gotten off the jeep, changed his face greatly, and immediately took an MP18 submachine gun from the guard next to him, and shouted: "Enemy attack, all of them, meet the enemy with me!" ”
Needless to say, how important Beiling Airport is, Shen Xingye and his guards immediately followed Zhang Xinghan towards the place where the gunshots rang out.
Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang reacted at this time, and immediately pulled out their guns and rushed forward with the garrison in front of the airport.
When Zhang Xinghan arrived at the battle site with reinforcements, Shiro Kawamoto had already blasted through the airport wall and rushed in with more than 300 men.
A hangar was being stormed, and almost all the soldiers of the squad guarding the hangar had been killed, leaving only two wounded soldiers hiding in the fortifications and resisting stubbornly.
Zhang Xinghan did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the guards to rush forward.
The flower machine in his hand pulled the trigger and swept it violently, and Shen Xingye and more than a hundred guards from the guard company also opened fire one after another.
The dense firepower knocked down more than a dozen of the unprepared devils, successfully attracting their attention.
The devils of the Kawamoto special combat team were obviously different from ordinary devils, and after being attacked, they immediately dispersed and began to shoot at Zhang Xinghan.
In the dark of night, the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire at close range inside the airport.
However, as the fierce battle progressed, Zhang Xinghan was surprised to find that the army that came to attack was also equipped with MG34 general-purpose machine guns and MP18 submachine guns.
It is not surprising that some of the army's special operations units are equipped with flower machines, after all, they are all products of the First World War.
But the MG34 general-purpose machine gun At this time in China, and even in Asia, its own garrison brigade is definitely the only one of the scorpion.
Surprised, Zhang Xinghan immediately thought of the origin of this army.
"Brothers, they are the little devils who attacked my Dongta Airport to kill my robe and destroy my fighter plane, beat me hard, kill them all, and avenge my dead brothers!" Zhang Xinghan pulled the trigger and fired a short shot while shouting at the top of his throat.
"Brother Ziheng, immediately send someone to bring me the anti-aircraft machine gun and anti-aircraft gun." After yelling, Zhang Xinghan instructed Gao Zhihang, who was shooting with a pistol.
"Yes, pay more attention to yourself." Gao Zhihang responded, and immediately under the cover of the officers and soldiers of the first company of guards, he quickly withdrew from the battle with Liu Cuigang.
"The success or failure of the warriors of the empire is here, and the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, kill Gaga!" Shiro Kawamoto didn't expect the airport garrison to react so quickly, and seeing that there were more and more reinforcements at the airport, he couldn't help but be excited.
Although the garrison brigade has a slight advantage in firepower, its individual combat quality is slightly inferior to that of these devil elites on the opposite side.
For a while, the fierce battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate.
However, this stalemate lasted less than half an hour, when Gao Zhihang led the pilots to assist the garrison and drove more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and four 88mm anti-aircraft guns in trucks.
The tide of the battle immediately changed, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns with a caliber of 12.7mm caliber and four 88mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire one after another.
The dense high-power bullets were like devastating and decaying, causing heavy casualties to the Kawamoto special forces in an instant.
Wherever the scorching and dazzling tongues of fire went, the devil soldiers fell down as soon as they were touched, and even more were directly cut off by powerful bullets, turning into pieces of corpses and rotten flesh.
Seeing the garrison brigade using anti-aircraft machine guns and 88mm anti-aircraft guns, Kawamoto Daisaku suddenly shouted with horror in his eyes: "Hide quickly, quickly!" ”
Last time at the East Tower airfield, Shiro Kawamoto and his men could have seen the power of such anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.
I also learned a trick to put the anti-aircraft machine gun and the anti-aircraft gun on an equal footing as a direct gun and a heavy machine gun.
However, they never expected that at this Beiling Airport, they would encounter these terrifying weapons.
Seeing that the devil was suppressed, Zhang Xinghan threw the flower trap, turned around and jumped into a military truck, personally picked up an anti-aircraft machine gun, and began to rain metal bullets on the mad rain of metal bullets that were hiding in a hurry.
After about an hour, Zhang Xinghan could no longer remember how many anti-aircraft machine gun rounds he had fired, only that his feet were almost full of metal shells.
In the past hour or so, more than 70 percent of the 300 or so members of the Kawamoto Special Combat Team have been wiped out.
The remaining dozens of remnants of the soldiers, led by Shiro Kawamoto, fled in a panic.
"Chase me, be sure to wipe them all out, and don't let anyone slip through the net!" Zhang Xinghan stopped shooting and said sharply at the top of his voice.
Shen Xingye immediately led hundreds of guards and garrisons to chase after him.
Ten minutes later, Shen Xingye led the team to chase Shiro Kawamoto to the bottom of the cliff.
In desperation, Kawamoto Daisa committed suicide by slashing his abdomen, and the remaining dozens of devil remnants were swept into a blood sieve by Shen Xingye and several machine gunners with general-purpose machine guns and flower machines.
At the same time, in the direction of Sujiatun.
The 20th Division, equipped with gas masks, sent the 78th Infantry Wing to attack Sujiatun again.
However, the attacking force of the 78th Infantry Wing did not wait for the position of the 3rd Battalion of the Garrison Brigade to be approached.
The artillery battalion directly under the command, which had been preparing for a long time, opened fire again, and this time they fired napalm instead of poison gas bombs.
In a series of explosions, ......scorching sparks flew everywhere, and soon the devil attacker crowd was enveloped in a sea of fire.
The commander of the 20th Division, Chambers Kaneji, saw that the attacking troops were in a sea of fire, and the attack failed again, and he couldn't help but be furious.
However, he had no other way but to angrily scold the garrison brigade for being cunning and despicable.
The attacks of the two wings ended in failure, and one of Jiang Quan's puppet legions was wiped out.
However, the Sujiatun position of the garrison brigade stood firm and stood as steady as Mount Tai.
In desperation, Murokanji had no choice but to report the results of the battle to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
……………… Lushun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.
Ishihara came to Minamijiro's bedroom in a hurry with a telegram in his hand, knocked on the door violently and shouted, "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General,"
The door was abruptly opened, and Minamijiro stood in front of the door barefoot in pajamas, and asked with a dark face and an unhappy tone, "Ishihara-kun, why are you so alarmed?" ”
"The 20th Division failed in both attacks and suffered heavy losses, and one regiment in Yuzhishan has been completely annihilated, and the 20th Division is unable to attack again." Ishihara hurriedly opened a telegram and read.
"What? Didn't the newspaper say that the cavalry and armored units of the garrison brigade were transferred to Tongliao? How could the attack of the 20th Division still be so unsmooth? Minamijiro asked puzzled.
"The Chinese unscrupulously used poison gas bombs in the defensive war, and when the attacking troops of the Imperial Army changed their gas masks, they switched to arson bombs, causing a large number of casualties among our attacking troops, and the offensive of the 20th Division failed. Ishihara explained.
