In the headquarters of the Yunshui County Corps, Su Yu looked at the military map with a grim face. After the Sichuan army's defensive battle began, his eyes never took off the map. After Ouyang Jian went to Tongluo Village, the military command fell on his shoulders. "It was reported that the Japanese army invested heavy troops to attack the left flank position of the Sichuan army, and the flying thunder artillery played a role at the critical moment, and the Japanese attack was repulsed. The 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army suffered heavy losses, suffering thousands of casualties. The 5th Army Engineer Company suffered nearly a platoon of casualties. ”

"The Japanese army was very cunning and put the main attack on the left flank, and the situation was not optimistic." Chief of Staff He Long said with a solemn expression. "At present, Fengjing defended by the Sichuan army is the focus, if you are Yanagawa Heisuke, in order to quickly take Fengjing, do you put the 9th Brigade into the Fengjing direction to fight?" Su Yu asked. "The 6th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Army will not be able to break through the Xingta and Zhujing defense lines, so they will naturally attack Fengjing with all their might. The Japanese army chose to attack the left flank, the purpose was not to eat all the Sichuan army, but to defeat the Sichuan army, the target was the Xiao Ke department, and the Japanese army had a great appetite! Chief of Staff He Long analyzed.

"Do you mean that the purpose of the Japanese army is to hold off the Xiao Ke Department and make every effort to defeat the Sichuan army and capture Fengjing Station, which means that the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army will be put into the Fengjing direction to fight?" He Long nodded. Su Yu walked a few steps on the ground and said: "The 20th Army of the Sichuan Army, with a total strength of less than 20,000 people, is backward in weapons and equipment, although the airdrop aid firepower has been strengthened, but it is very dangerous to face the heavy Japanese army. The key is that the Japanese army's intention is not to destroy the Sichuan army, which is more dangerous, and the 18th Division of the Japanese army on the Zhujing front line is not very strong, and it is obviously afraid of being beaten, and we must take advantage of it. ”

Su Yu said decisively: "Order Xiao Ke to immediately withdraw a brigade from the Zhujing defense line as a reserve of the military headquarters, and order the 79th Army of the National Army to send two regiments into the position to confuse the Japanese army." Ordered Xiao Ke to let the remaining two regiments of the 49th Brigade quickly support the Sichuan Army and put them into the front line of Fengjing. Su Yu's acumen undoubtedly made the right decision. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the 146th and 147th regiments of the 49th Brigade arrived at the battlefield, the left flank defense line of the Sichuan army was shattered under the frantic and continuous onslaught of the Japanese army. The battle loss rate of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army reached 80 percent, and all the 134th Division was put into battle.

At the critical moment, the new forces arrived, the powerful Japanese offensive was repulsed, and the defensive line was stabilized. When the Japanese army was repulsed, Ouyang Jian rushed back from Tongluo Village. After listening to Su Yu's report, he praised him for his swift and effective defensive measures. "Chief of the General Staff, up to now, according to the report of the Sichuan army, the Japanese army has invested 150 sorties of fighter planes to bomb indiscriminately, and it seems that the Japanese army is alone." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a solemn expression. "Apparently the Japanese army has captured Hongqiao Airport! A large number of combat aircraft were put into it! The air support of the Japanese army posed a great threat to the Fengjing defensive line. Chief of Staff He Long said.

"In order to limit the role of Japanese fighters, we must do something. Send a report to Hao Tianzhu and raid Hongqiao Airport tonight! Ouyang Jian said resolutely. Chief of General Staff, let the underground Einsatzgruppen attack Hongqiao Airport, it is very dangerous and I am afraid ・・・・・・. Su Yu wanted to speak and stopped. An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, give an order! "Ouyang Jian knew very well in his heart that letting the underground rangers attack the airport was basically a point of no return, but there was no other way, and extraordinary actions had to be taken.

Hongqiao Airport is located on the west side of downtown Shanghai, which was founded in 1907 and officially became the Hongqiao Airport of the Republic of China in 1921. Although the main force of the Central Army retreated, there were still more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops in the Songhu battlefield, and they basically fell into a situation of fighting separately. Therefore, the Japanese army was blocked and entangled by these Nationalist troops who were still fighting stubbornly, and could not effectively concentrate their forces. The downtown area of Shanghai was also fighting, and after the Battle of Songhu began, Hao Tianzhu led the underground special forces to attack the Japanese army in a mobile and flexible manner. At present, the Japanese army has no time to patronize the civilian anti-Japanese forces.

After dark, Hao Tianzhu led 500 members of the underground Einsatzgruppen to quietly leave the city and go straight to Hongqiao Airport. When Hao Tianzhu received Ouyang Jian's order, he knew how dangerous this battle was. Before leaving, he left a letter to the Shanghai underground party, naturally explaining the aftermath, and then took the brothers to set off while it was dark. Hongqiao Airport was surrounded by Japanese troops, and Hao Tianzhu judged that the Japanese army must not be vigilant about the airport. At present, almost all the troops of the Nationalist Army who have been delayed in the Songhu battlefield are in a bitter battle, and it would be good if they could escape and ascend to heaven, so they had the courage to attack the Japanese airfield.

Since Hao Tianzhu received Ouyang Jian's order, he only had a few hours to prepare, and the urgency of the task did not allow him to prepare carefully. I had to let each team member carry a grenade, a pistol, a submachine gun, and all the weapons and belongings. On the way, several Japanese units were encountered, and the Japanese troops, apparently, had a mission and did not find them. At about midnight, Hao Tianzhu led the members of the underground Einsatzgruppen to the east side of Hongqiao Airport.

Since the Japanese army had just captured Hongqiao Airport, it was too late to set up barbed wire around the airport. At this time, the lights on the tarmac were dim, but the bombers and fighters could be clearly distinguished. The reconnaissance team was dispatched, and the captain Hao Tianzhu held a telescope to the airport and observed: "Brothers, you have taken a closer look, those stupid big black and thick are bombers, and those small and slender are fighter planes. Remember, our goal is to deal with the Japanese bombers! "Captain, we only have grenades in our hands, how can we blow up the plane?" A subordinate asked.

Hao Tianzhu said: "Do you see the propellers on both sides of the bomber?" As long as the grenade is thrown through the spiral, even if it does not destroy the plane, the plane will not be able to fly into the sky. The Japanese fighters are bombing every day, and our task is to make it impossible for the Japanese fighters to fly into the sky, do you understand? "Got it!" "Captain, the brothers of the reconnaissance team are back!" In the darkness, several team members appeared quickly. "How is the situation with the Japanese guards?" Hao Tianzhu asked.

"Captain, the Japanese airfield guard unit is about a large group of troops, the west and south of the airfield are the key points of defense, and the north is weaker. We had about a squadron of Japanese troops in front of us. "Let's move north in!" About an hour later, Hao Tianzhu led the Einsatzgruppen back to the northern area of the airport, he glanced at his pocket watch and said, "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and we will officially launch an attack at 3 o'clock!" I led the 1234 squad to bomb the planes, and the 5 to 10 squadrons covered and blocked the attack. Now we are slowly moving closer to the airport. ”

The perimeter was surrounded by Japanese troops, so the Japanese guards defending the airfield were not on high alert. Soon the team members were lying in the grass, and the Japanese patrol horses roared by. On the high watchtower on the side, the lantern was dim, and two Japanese sentries stood on it, and a light machine gun stood out. "After a while, the cover group must quickly kill the Japanese sentries on the watchtower, and not let the Japanese machine guns fire. Remember, after the mission is completed, disperse and break out. Another Japanese patrol horse team roared past in front of him, Hao Tianzhu waved his hand, and the team members quickly got up and rushed towards the airport tarmac.

Soon the Japanese sentry on the watchtower noticed that there was a situation and called the alarm with a gunshot. The cover group was hailed with bullets, and two Japanese sentries were killed. The gunfire alerted the Japanese guards, who quickly determined that the attackers were coming from the north, and the Japanese pounced on them from all directions. A cavalry patrol came up from the east side first, but under the dense rain of bullets from the submachine guns of the covering group, the Japanese cavalry squad of more than ten people was knocked off their horses before they could rush to the front. Hao Tianzhu led four detachments to rush in the direction of the bombers.

There were still about 50 meters from the position of the bombers, and more than a dozen sidecar motorcycles rushed out of the hangar on the side, and it was clear that the Japanese soldiers judged that the target of the attackers was the fighters. The machine guns on the Japanese motorcycles fired wildly, and several members of the team in front were knocked to the ground. Everyone was lying on the ground and blocked by a rain of bullets. This was a cover detachment that came up to shoot at the Japanese troops. The rain of bullets from the submachine guns was not inferior to the Japanese machine guns, and I saw that a motorcycle in front suddenly overturned on its side and then caught fire, and a motorcycle behind it could not dodge and crashed into the motorcycle in front.

Dozens of Japanese motorcycles were beaten to the ground, and Hao Tianzhu seized the opportunity to order his team members to rush towards the bombers. A fast-running crew member was the first to reach the fuselage, throwing a grenade into the propeller, accompanied by a dull explosion, and the nose of the fuselage glowed with dazzling fire. After throwing a grenade, the team member was dropped to the ground by a bullet. At this time, a continuous explosion sounded, and the Japanese army also surrounded it. The continuous explosions sounded suddenly, and the team members braved the rain of bullets from the Japanese army to fight bravely. After Hao Tianzhu and his three team members bombed three bombers, they were blocked by Japanese fire.

At this time, the tarmac was in chaos, and the Japanese did not dare to use heavy weapons because the team members were distributed around the fighters. Half an hour later, Hao Tianzhu and more than a dozen of his subordinates were surrounded by the Japanese legion, and the team members covering outside fell into a situation of fighting on their own, and it was almost impossible to escape from Ascension. At this time, another large group of soldiers came up from the Japanese army, and they were forced to be helpless, Hao Tianzhu and more than a dozen team members climbed onto a bomber in the middle. The crew entered the cockpit and smashed the windshield to shoot at the Japanese soldiers.

Soon their submachine guns ran out of ammunition, and the team members pulled out their pistols and continued to shoot, and the gunfire outside gradually thinned out and finally stopped. Hao Tianzhu said to the brothers: "Brothers, we can't get out. It is impossible to count how many planes were bombed, but I judge that at least 20 planes were bombed, and the total number of Japanese bombers was 24, so it can be said that we did our job brilliantly. Brethren, this mission is a point of no return, if anyone chooses to surrender, they can get out now, I don't blame you! ”

"Big brother, you have flattened us, and the head has lost a scar the size of a bowl, and Lao Tzu will be a good man again in twenty years!" "Big brother, we'd rather die than surrender!" "Let's rush out now, fight one is enough to fight two and earn one, big brother, you give the order!" Looking at the resolute demeanor of the players. Hao Tianzhu said: "You can leave with confidence, I have arranged the future affairs of the brothers, all the brothers' families will be helped and taken care of, and all the brothers who died in the war are the heroes of the country!" ”

After Hao Tianzhu finished speaking, he pulled out his pistol, walked to a bomb, pointed at the ignition cap in front of him, and said, "Brothers, let's go on the road!" A gunshot rang out, followed by a loud bang, and the bomber suddenly fell apart in a loud explosion, and a huge fireball rose up, affecting the two bombers on the left and right. A tragic attack, in service, totaled 24 bombers, 15 were damaged, three bombers were completely blown up, and only 6 intact Japanese bombers remained.

Of the 500 rangers under Hao Tianzhu, except for the 18 members who were covered by the periphery, they all died in battle.
