The artillery positions temporarily constructed by the Japanese army fell into chaos. Before the Japanese guards could react, two more tanks rushed to the battlefield and lined up against the artillery position, raining bullets and bullets. An hour later, when 10 tanks appeared on the battlefield, the Japanese artillery and guard units were forced to abandon their guns and flee, and the guns of a Japanese artillery wing became trophies. Don't look at the small number of tanks, but the role he played is incomparable.

Six tanks did not follow, but remained on the battlefield and charged the Japanese. The Japanese soldiers held the shells of the infantry guns and tried to kill the tanks, but several suicide attacks did not work, and the Japanese soldiers' will to resist collapsed. At this time, the second group of airborne soldiers were put into operation one after another. The commander of the Japanese brigade, Takashima Aritake, saw that the general situation had gone and ordered the troops to retreat to the southwest. The time of the battle passed quickly, and at midnight, Meng Fei took Liu Xiaofeng's tank and escorted the captured Japanese artillery back to the airport.

Meng Fei ordered that the captured Japanese artillery be quickly deployed around the airport and wait for the transport planes to bring in the artillery units to receive them. Before parting, Liu Xiaofeng said: "Brigade Commander Meng, Division Commander Liu has arrived at the airport, and the headquarters has telegraphed our department to accept the command of Division Commander Liu. Division Commander Liu ordered our unit to temporarily protect the captured Japanese artillery and implement a guard in the northwest direction to prevent the Japanese army from coming back. "Captain Liu, am I qualified as a machine gunner?" "Qualified!" Liu Xiaofeng gave a thumbs up. "Captain Meng, see you in the city!" "See you in the city!"

Meng Fei got into a captured Japanese jeep and went to the headquarters to meet the division commander. As soon as the car stopped in front of the command department, a subordinate reported: "Report to the brigade commander, Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng is injured and has just been sent down from the battlefield!" Meng Fei was shocked when he heard this, and hurried to the bandaging station. Entering a tent, he found Cheng Hao lying on the bed but in good spirits. "You're still alive." "Nonsense, I'm still waiting to go back and marry my wife, you curse me! the little devil is crazy, and he attacks with all his might! "Meng Fei didn't have the heart to tease." Where's the injury? "On the thigh, it was a penetrating wound that didn't hurt the bones!"

"That's okay with the crotch!" "You can't say something auspicious! Do you want me to cut off my children and grandchildren? Meng Fei smiled: "If there is no problem, I will rest assured!" The division commander has arrived at the airport, and I will go to see him immediately! "Tell me how the battle went?" "You can recuperate in peace!" Meng Fei returned to the headquarters, and the division commander Liu Yalou circled around him and said, "Okay, you didn't disappoint me, the headquarters has decided to reward your department." ”

"Teacher, the commendation is exempted, I want to know how the situation is?" Liu Yalou looked at his watch and said, "We have established ourselves at the airport and brought in 16 tanks. It's 1 a.m. In another 5 minutes, the 4th transport plane arrived. The commander of the special forces will lead the special operations regiment into battle! You come with me to meet you. "Senior Commander Liu, how is the situation in our department?" "The 1st and 2nd Regiments of your division are still fighting on the south flank, and the 3rd Regiment has asked me to withdraw them. Before two o'clock, all your brigades were withdrawn to rest. ”

The two walked out of the room to the tarmac, Meng Fei looked to the north side, and saw the rows of fighters parked at the end of the runway, and the pilots seemed to stay in the cockpit. "Division commander, the Japanese army will definitely come to attack after dawn, is 50 fighters too few." "According to the plan of the headquarters, around 4 o'clock, the last transport planes arrived. Air transport stops after dawn. In addition, before 5 o'clock, 50 fighters landed at the airfield, so there is no need to worry. ”

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and Liu Yalou said: "This batch of reinforcements includes a special operations regiment, some artillery personnel and airport ground staff, in addition, some officers and soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Army. "Joining the special operations group, what is their goal?" "The target is the city, and you have to enter the city before dawn. According to the battle plan of the headquarters, Harbin must be taken before dark tomorrow. Time is very important to us. ”

"Division commander, I have a request, to participate in the siege battle tomorrow, please be sure to agree!" "Meng Fei, your department has suffered a lot of casualties, I can't agree!" "Division Commander, this is also the wish of your subordinates." "You should hurry up and rest first, and then report the battle damage." As the two spoke, a transport ship landed on the runway. The bonfires burning on both sides of the runway reflect the fuselage as it seems to be jumping happily. "The first is the plane that Commander Mu is flying on!" The two hurriedly stepped forward.

Let's set our eyes on Beiping, at about 10 o'clock that night, Ouyang Jian, escorted by a company of guards, arrived at Nanyuan Airport in Beiping. Chen Cheng, commander of the 4th Corps, had already heard the news and rushed to the airport from the city to greet him. The American-style military jeep was ventilated in all directions, and Gong Nan and the guards took the lead in getting down from the jeeps in front and behind, moving their somewhat frozen bodies on the ground. Ouyang Jian also got out of the car, and although he was wrapped in a thick military coat, he still felt cold to the bone.

"Brother Ouyang, what wind blew you, what military situation is not said on the phone, you have to run in person, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, just let me pick you up the wind and wash the dust." Chen Cheng stepped forward and hugged him warmly. "Let's go inside and say!" "It's frozen on the road! Why don't you make a special plane! "My plane is flying to Harbin!" After entering the house, Ouyang Jian quickly took off his coat, looked at Chen Cheng with a confused face, and continued: "Two hours ago, the airborne troops of the Eighth Route Army launched an airborne operation against Harbin Airport, and the airport has now been occupied. ”

“・・・・・・。 Brother Chen, that's the general situation. As for not reporting to the president, it is the fear of leaks. You immediately report to the president that I need to transport troops at Nanyuan Airport and need air support from your department. "Chen Cheng seems to be listening to a book from heaven, as if he is in a dream." Brother Ouyang, there is no joke in the army! "Brother Chen, I seem to be joking!" Chen Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran to the airport information room. The senior generals who came to greet him asked Ouyang Jian one after another to understand this incredible change.

Chongqing's old Jiang's official residence seems to be still silent in a thick celebration. Lao Jiang and his wife Song Meiling, as well as their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, gathered around the dining table, ready to stay up until midnight. This year's Chinese New Year Lao Jiang is the happiest, the eldest son ****** finally returned to China with his Russian daughter-in-law and children, and the family is reunited, and there has been no such celebration for many years. With the reunion of relatives and the imminent victory of the Great Patriotic War, Lao Chiang was in a good mood. The old Jiang couple was listening to their son's story about Soviet Russia, when the director of the guard room suddenly walked in.

Old Jiang saw that the director of the guard room had a different expression, and knew that there was a major military situation, otherwise he would not come in and disturb him. Walking into the living room, Dai Li was already waiting. "What happened?" "Headmaster, Commander Chen Cheng called, and General Ouyang suddenly appeared at Nanyuan Airport in Beiping. General Ouyang asked Commander Chen to tell you that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army dispatched airborne troops at 6 p.m. to suddenly launch a long-distance attack on Harbin Airport. ”

“・・・・・・。 Up to now, the airborne division of the Eighth Route Army has occupied the airfield, and the second batch of reinforcements has departed. "Is the news true?" "It has been confirmed that the subordinates are incompetent, and there is no trace of information in advance." "If you get the news, the Japanese will know about it!" Seeing that Dai Li was very embarrassed, Lao Jiang had no intention of reproaching and then asked: "General Ouyang appeared at Nanyuan Airport, which means that the airborne troops of the Eighth Route Army have seized the airport, and Ouyang Jian wants to use Nanyuan Airport to transport soldiers and military supplies. ”

"In addition, they need strong support from the air force!" "Principal Mingjian, Chen Cheng's call also means this, and he needs your approval. President, the Communist Party launched such a large-scale raid and actually concealed it from you, which shows that it is ill-intentioned, and I think it is impossible to reply to the Communist Party's demands! "That's a good thing. The Yalta Conference has decided that the Soviet army will send troops to the northeast, and our plan to monopolize the northeast is no longer possible. The Communist Party's clever move was not only to prevent the Soviet army from sending troops to the northeast, but also to quickly capture the northeast. ”

"You immediately inform Li Zongren and convene a meeting of senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense. A message will be drawn up and sent in my name immediately. Dai Li knew that Lao Jiang not only readily agreed to give full support, but also made a big noise and changed from passive to active. Dai Li immediately took out his notebook.

Lao Jiang thought for a moment and said: "According to the strategic plan of the Chinese High Command, the airborne troops under the 18th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army launched an attack at 6 o'clock on February 8. The airborne operation has been a great success, and the airborne troops have already captured the Majiagou airfield and are launching an offensive against the Harbin urban area. Harbin will change hands and form a north-south attack, and the whole territory of the Northeast is just around the corner! ”

At Nanyuan Airport in Beiping, the officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Corps of the Eighth Route Army are boarding the plane one after another. Under the dim lamp, the mighty figures of the soldiers made Chen Cheng and other generals a little jealous. "Brother Ouyang, the rush operation is congratulatory, this is a big deal, it can be called a miracle. The president called to support, there is no way, there are only 30 transport planes at Nanyuan Airport, please bear with me! Chen Cheng looked very excited, probably praised by Lao Jiang.

Ouyang Jian glanced at his watch and asked, "I asked to take off on time at two o'clock, can I do it?" "No problem! If your unit takes Harbin, I estimate that the president will also order our unit to attack, and the Japanese army will face collapse if it is formed by a north-south attack. "Brother Chen, our department has hoarded a large number of military supplies in Beiping City, I hope you will personally supervise it, don't delay our war, please!" The headquarters called me to go to Chongqing, and I must give the president an explanation! "Brother Ouyang, please rest assured that your responsibility is unshirkable!"

At 2 o'clock in the morning, one transport plane after another left the runway and soared into the sky, whistling away in the northwest direction. At this time, the divisions of the First Army continued to assemble towards the airport, and Ouyang Jian seemed to have unloaded his burden, and a trace of sleepiness struck.
