The plane was taxiing on the runway, and Liu Xiaofeng, the commander of the independent tank regiment, stood by the window with a particularly nervous expression, watching the pilot lights on the runway continue to sweep backwards, anxious and excited. I am worried about whether the plane can safely reach its destination and land smoothly at the airport, and you must know that during the time between flying in the air and landing, the tank and combat vehicle cannot make its own decisions. Excitedly, he will command the tanks to charge the Japanese army, the long-awaited battle.

Suddenly, his body felt suspended in the air, and he instinctively looked out with some surprise, only to see the transport plane quickly break away from the ground and fly diagonally into the air. The lights on the ground fammed and disappeared, like clouds driving through mist. Liu Xiaofeng was on a plane for the first time, and nervousness and apprehension were inevitable. The transport plane he was on flew twice in the sky, and then joined the group and headed straight to the northeast. Liu Xiaofeng didn't know that at the same time, at Weihai Airport, 50 fighters took to the air and headed straight for Harbin.

After the plane flew smoothly in the air, Liu Xiaofeng came to the nose and asked, "Brother, how long does it take to reach Harbin?" "About an hour and a half." The navigator replied. Liu Xiaofeng glanced down at his watch, and only 20 minutes had passed. Suddenly, several fighter jets swept past on one side, and the speed was extremely fast. "Brother, how can there be fighters! Is it an escort? "These fighters took off from Weihai airfield, they are not escort fighters."

"Dude, what's going on?" "These fighters are there to defend the airfield, and you'll know what's going on when you get there." The navigator seemed a little impatient, and Liu Xiaofeng knew that he was interfering with others, so he left with interest. Time is the hardest, maybe relaxing, Liu Xiaofeng's mood stabilized and actually fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but it sounded in my ears: "Go north!" Go north! I'm a goshawk, please answer when you hear it! Liu Xiaofeng was awakened by the shout, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the nose of the plane.

When the fierce gunfire was first fired in the northwest direction of the airport, Meng Fei and his subordinates looked in the direction of the gunshots. An operational staff officer put down the phone and reported: "Report to the brigade commander!" The 2nd Battalion of the 4th Regiment found a large number of Japanese troops on the northwest side of the airfield, and the strength was ominous. "Listening to the sound of gunfire is a large Japanese army, it is the 237th Brigade of the Japanese army pulling up!" The Chief of Staff judged. "Damn, it's worthy that the Japanese Army's Class A Brigade reacted quickly enough. Our main force was on the south flank, and there was only one battalion in the northwest direction, which could not resist at all. ”

"Brigade commander, I'll lead the reserve 7th battalion up!" The chief of staff couldn't help but put on a steel helmet, picked up a submachine gun, and rushed out without waiting for Meng Fei's consent. The gunfire on the northwest side became more and more intense, mixed with the sound of Japanese anti-aircraft guns and 92 infantry guns. The battle situation affected no one's nerves, and at this time, gunshots rang on the south side, the telephone rang, and a combat staff officer picked up the phone and said: "Brigade commander, it's the phone number of Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng!" Meng Fei took the phone and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"Oh! A large group of Japanese troops attacked! You have to report on the situation at all times. At present, the 237th Brigade of the Japanese Army in the northwest has reacted very quickly and attacked very sharply. You immediately withdraw a battalion back to the airfield just in case. Hearing Cheng Hao's report, Meng Fei's pressure in his heart was reduced a lot, and the Japanese troops on the south side were slow to react, which showed that the pre-war analysis was accurate. The phone rang again, and a combat staff officer's face changed dramatically after answering: "Brigade commander, the Japanese army has launched a tidal wave of attacks, and the chief of staff has died!" ”

The situation is very critical, "Brigade Commander Meng! Don't hesitate at this time, I'll lead the guards up, and you will be in command! "Political commissar, I will go to you to sit in command and keep in close contact with the command at any time." Meng Fei couldn't help but put on a steel helmet, picked up a submachine gun and flashed out. Soon, Meng Fei led the guard company to the northwest side of the blocking position, and the battle was at its fiercest. The Japanese charging soldiers went forward one after another, attacking frantically at any cost. At the critical moment, the new force joined the battle, and the frenzied attack of the Japanese army was contained.

Meng Fei changed the magazine from the new, and a black shadow crawled to his side. "Brigade commander, why did you come up in person!" The commander of the 4 battalion, with a bandage on his arm, asked urgently. "How's the chief of staff doing?" "Killed on the spot by an infantry shell, the Japanese attacked almost at any cost, and our troops suffered heavy casualties." "Order all the wounded to fight, reinforcements are coming, we must nail them here." In less than 5 minutes, the Japanese launched another tidal offensive, and the battle began again. Although the airborne soldiers did not have heavy weapons in their hands, they were equipped with submachine guns, and the dense firepower was still effective in containing the Japanese group's charge.

"Throw grenades!" Meng Fei finished firing a shuttle of bullets, and then shouted loudly. The soldiers threw grenades, and with the violent explosions, the Japanese offensive was contained. The grenades equipped by the airborne soldiers are grenades with extremely powerful explosions and great lethality. The corpses of the Japanese troops in front of the blocking position were everywhere, and due to the rush of time, their positions were only piled up with snow, and the protection performance was extremely poor. From time to time, the positions were bombarded by Japanese infantry shells, and casualties continued to increase.

The commander of the 237th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Takashima Aritake, personally commanded his command to attack, and the attack was fruitless for nearly two hours. "General, the enemy's fire is too dense, and our casualties are too great. The artillery of the artillery wing has been unloaded, and it is on the way to it, and it is estimated that it will be put into operation in an hour. As long as our artillery is at its disposal, the airfield is at your fingertips! "Takashima has heard that what the chief of staff said is reasonable, and the casualties of such a fierce attack are too large to be effective.

Takashima Yutakeshi heeded the advice of the chief of staff and changed his tactics from a tidal wave attack to an oppressive attack. The stormy attack caused heavy casualties to his subordinates, and he held his binoculars to look forward and said depressedly: "No wonder the Eighth Route Army is strong, their weapons and equipment have surpassed ours, and the explosive power of grenades is twice as powerful as ours, even if they get close to the enemy's position, they can't break through quickly." The artillery wing was ordered to quickly reach the battlefield. As soon as Takashima Yutake's words fell, there was a roar in the sky.

On the blocking position, the soldiers heard a roar from the sky, and their morale was immediately boosted. "Comrades, our reinforcements are coming, persistence is victory!" Meng Fei shouted loudly, and his voice was quickly drowned out by a huge roar. At this time, the battle on the south side of the airfield also entered the white heat, and the Japanese reinforcements continued to arrive, and the intensity of the attack also increased. However, after all, the Japanese garrison was weak in combat and could not shake the blocking position.

After the group reached the airfield above the airfield, the transport planes quickly began to parachute, and the large transport planes began to land. In the cabin, the navigator said to Liu Xiaofeng: "The ground command reports that the northwest direction of the airport is very critical, and orders your troops to immediately enter the northwest direction to fight after arrival, and launch an attack without hesitation." As soon as the words fell, the plane began to land, and the landing gear shook, causing Liu Xiaofeng's body to lose its center of gravity. After the first large transport plane came to a stop at the designated position, the rear door of the cabin quickly slammed and the cargo compartment pedals landed.

Liu Xiaofeng stood on the open turret and ordered the tank to start, and the two tanks slowly drove to the ground one after the other. At this time, an officer wearing a steel helmet stood under the tank and shouted: "Is it Commander Liu?" "I am Liu Xiaofeng!" "Commander Liu, the situation is critical, and your tanks must be put into battle immediately. The task of your unit is to quickly cross the Japanese offensive position, find the Japanese artillery position, find it and destroy it, this is the telegraphic order from the headquarters! ”

"Understood, please guide the tanks behind to follow quickly, and we will go first." Liu Xiaofeng drilled into the turret and ordered: "To the northwest, launch an assault in a place where the gunfire is dense." Our task was to quickly cross the Japanese offensive positions and look for Japanese artillery positions. "Two tanks arrived at the barrage and the tanks were blocked by a soldier. Liu Xiaofeng lifted the turret and found an officer jumping onto the tank. "Quick, get your crew down!" In the darkness, Liu Xiaofeng ordered the lookout and machine gunner to come out.

The officer couldn't help but enter the tank and said: "I am Meng Fei, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 001 Airborne Forces!" "Greetings to the chief" "I don't have time to tease you, the situation is very critical." In front of us is the Japanese 237 brigade, this brigade has an artillery wing, the heavy artillery of the Japanese artillery company will pose a mortal threat to our airfield, we must find the Japanese artillery to destroy it! "Brigade Commander Meng, I'm sorry, in my tank tank, you must obey my command!" "Obey!"

Soon two tanks crossed the blocking position and charged at the Japanese attack position. When the Japanese soldiers saw the sudden appearance of two tanks in the enemy position, they immediately organized fire to intercept them. The rain of machine-gun bullets, including infantry guns, was of no avail to tanks.

Seeing that the enemy tank seemed to be in a no-man's land, it rushed towards it, and Takashima Aritake ordered it to be blown up. The new Cheetah 2 tank, there are two boat machine guns on the left and right of the turret, at this time the formation of crossfire, the Japanese soldiers in front tried to blow up the tank, but were quickly knocked down by the rain of bullets, the Japanese troops on the side tried to approach the tank, but in vain, they were quickly left behind. When the two tanks rushed through the Japanese offensive position, Takashima woke up like a dream, and it turned out that the enemy tanks were heading for the artillery position.

At this time, two more tanks crossed the blocking position and appeared in the field of view of the Japanese army. Takashima Yutakeshi was dumbfounded, and due to the rush of the battle, there was simply no time to set up a telephone line between the artillery positions and the command headquarters. At this time, the artillery of the Japanese artillery positions began to fire, and dense shells flew towards the blocking positions. The Japanese artillery that arrived later was hastily arranging their positions, and it was very chaotic. The guard units of the Japanese artillery did not expect the approach of enemy tanks at all.

It was about 2,000 meters away from the Japanese artillery position, and when he saw the Japanese artillery fire starting to fire, Meng Fei hurriedly said: "Commander Liu, start running immediately." "The firing tanks must stop, we must approach the enemy artillery positions. Now under my command, I have a way to contain the Japanese artillery fire. After Liu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he lifted the turret and quickly adjusted the position of the anti-aircraft machine gun to the position of flat fire. The caliber of anti-aircraft machine gun shells is 12, 6 mm, effective for anti-aircraft fire of 2000 meters, and the effective range of flat fire is up to 4500 meters.

Along with Liu Xiaofeng's anti-aircraft machine gun, the anti-aircraft machine gun of another tank also began to play. A Japanese 105-mm artillery position, the Japanese soldiers were struggling to shell, and suddenly the gunner was hit in the head by a high-altitude bullet, only to see that half of the Japanese gunner's head was cut off. Frightened, the loader dropped the shell and lay on the ground. Two tank tanks and combat vehicles entered a thousand meters, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns began to exert their power, two anti-aircraft machine guns, four vehicle-mounted machine guns, forming crossfire, and the Japanese artillery quickly dumbled fire.
