Chapter 521 Attack on Xuzhou Airport

The night of November 7 was destined to be the night when the Eighth Route Army created miracles.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to prepare for the war, the national political axe built the Matoushan Airport in Matoushan in the southwest of Xuzhou, and the Camel Mountain Airport in the eastern suburbs of Xuzhou. At that time, in consideration of the needs of future operations, there might be a situation where two planes and multiple planes might take off, and the two airports widened the width of the main and auxiliary runways on the basis of one main and one cross-shaped main and auxiliary runway in accordance with the practice of the Republic of China. Among them, the main runway in the north-south direction is a gravel runway, which is 1,400 meters long and 60 meters wide, which can be used for small aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of less than 18 tons. The east-west secondary runway is an earthen runway, 1,000 meters long and 80 meters wide, and the secondary runway crosses at the northern third of the main runway. In addition, there are underground ammunition depots, oil depots and other facilities.

After the army captured Xuzhou, the First Flying Regiment of the North China Front Aviation Group was stationed at Matoushan Airport, and the Third Flying Regiment of the Dinggong and Okubo Flying Regiments were stationed at Luotuoshan Airport, and the two airports were expanded and repaired in accordance with the technical drawings of the airport, and a group of cross-shaped main and auxiliary runways were added to each of them. The Matoushan Airport and the Luotuoshan Airport have been built into relatively large air bases, and they have undertaken the combat mission of supporting the Central Plains and going south to northern Jiangsu.

After the First Air Brigade of the Eighth Route Army bombed the Anyang, Shangqiu, and Kaifeng airfields, these forward airfields were temporarily paralyzed, and the task of supporting the front-line operations in Zhengzhou fell to the Xuzhou airfield. In order to guard against a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, Xuzhou's Matoushan Airport and Luotuoshan Airport, in addition to strengthening their anti-aircraft firepower, fighter planes on duty, and guarding units, also vigorously expanded their aircraft nests and aircraft bunkers.

After Wang Tongsheng led the second formation of special operations to carry out the cold gun and cold artillery movement along the eastern section of Longhai Road, his eyes never left the two airports of the army, but unfortunately the little devils were extremely vigilant, and the periphery of the airport was set up with a bunker defense line, and a barbed wire fence with bells was installed around it, and military dogs were equipped to patrol.

After receiving Liu Yimin's order to attack Xuzhou Airport and Shangqiu Airport, Li Lingfeng sent people to reconnoiter Shangqiu Airport and found that after the bombing of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade, Shangqiu Airport was already in a mess, and although the army was stepping up construction and repair, it had not yet been restored, and the planes of the army supporting the frontline operations in Zhengzhou mainly came from Xuzhou Airport.

After discussing with Wang Tongsheng, Li Lingfeng decided to join forces to completely solve the two airfields of the Yue army in Xuzhou and deal a heavy blow to the Yue army.

The special combat team is different from the ordinary Eighth Route Army, where the general Eighth Route Army troops are stationed, they mingle with the villagers, the uncle and aunt do not leave their mouths, sweep the yard and pick up water, and the relationship between the military and the people is very harmonious. There was a disturbance around the station, and the villagers would naturally report it to the troops. Because the special combat team has a strong surname of secrecy, it also carries out special tasks, and the forward base is strictly secretive, and it does not come into contact with the common people in its spare time, and all the information is obtained by its own reconnaissance. When the one with the same surname as the main force, there was nothing, and the instructor not only had a reconnaissance battalion, but also the support of underground party organizations all over the country, and the intelligence network was perfect, and the operations of the special combat team were basically targeted. In this single operation, the collection of intelligence must rely on the special combat team itself, and in this way, it will increase the difficulty of intelligence gathering.

After Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng converged near Xuzhou, the radio station went into radio silence for fear that the radio reconnaissance team of the Yue Army would discover the whereabouts of the special combat team, and the contact with the instructor became a regular contact once a day.

It has been two days since they arrived near Xuzhou, and the two special operations formations have sent soldiers to conduct repeated reconnaissance against Matoushan Airport and Luotuoshan Airport. It turned out that the Yue army had turned the two airports into heavily defended fortresses, not to mention that it was impossible for the Chinese to approach the airport, even ordinary soldiers who occasionally approached the airport would be strictly checked, and if they did not match the password, they would immediately be shot and killed by the hidden fire points of the airport guard troops. Even if we use the method of sneak attacks on the Taiyuan airport, Tianjin airport, and Qingdao airport, it will not be possible for the troops to launch poison gas bombs if they cannot reach the effective firing range. Moreover, the army seems to have learned a lesson, and the soldiers in the bunkers are equipped with gas masks. Since then, things have been at an impasse.

Li Lingfeng once thought of using the method of sneak attack on Luoyang Airport to dig tunnels into the airport, but it would take time, and now the task is so tight, where can he dig tunnels calmly!

As for poisoning, don't even think about it, the army has already learned a lesson, and even the men are all soldiers, and they have passes to enter and exit, so they can't get in at all.

In the end, Li Lingfeng wanted to launch a strong attack, preparing to raid the devil's airport with the strong combat strength of the special combat team, but this plan was denied by Wang Tongsheng, the reason is very simple, once the strong attack is launched, not to mention the sacrifice, it is not certain whether he can succeed. The airport guard unit of the Chinese army is now so vigilant, and the airport is in the defense circle of the 114th division of the Japanese army, and it is very easy to fall into the heavy encirclement of devils in the first fight, and no matter how strong the special combat team is, it is impossible to fight to the death with the field troops of the same division and regiment of devils.

The turning point came by accident, and it turned out to be the comfort women system of the Japanese army that helped.

The comfort station system of the Chinese invasion army began in November 1931, when the navy, in order to provide surname services for the marines in Shanghai, was preparing to select a number of Japanese temples near Hongkou in Shanghai as special naval comfort stations. By the end of 1932, the navy had opened a total of 17 comfort stations in Shanghai, with 279 artists and 163 'comfort women'. Later, the Navy officially began to implement the comfort station system.

After the army occupied Shanghai, the army also began to implement the comfort station system. The reason was that the army was wantonly annihilated in China, because of the fear of the epidemic of surname disease and the impact on combat effectiveness, on January 13, 1938, the "Yang Family House Entertainment Center" located in the northeast corner of Shanghai under the management of the headquarters of the East Military Station of the Shanghai Dispatch Army was opened. 104 North Korean girls became the first batch of comfort women at the comfort station of the Yang family's house. In the future, wherever the army passed, there was the shadow of comfort stations. The comfort women also expanded from the original women of the original and Korean women to Chinese and other foreign women.

Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng took the soldiers to hide near Xuzhou for three days, but found nothing, so they thought about going into Xuzhou City to see if they could find a breakthrough from anywhere.

The airport is tightly guarded and you can't get in, and Xuzhou City can enter if you want to. So, Li Lingfeng took Zhao Yonggang, captain of the second special operations squadron, Zhao Zhiyu, captain of the third squadron, and Sui Xiaofeng, who had the highest level of language, to Xuzhou wearing the uniforms of the 114th Division of the Yue Army.

After a morning in Xuzhou City, I didn't find any valuable clues. At lunchtime, Zhao Zhiyu suggested whether to enter the headquarters of the 114th Division or the headquarters of the Xuzhou garrison and make a big kill, first disrupting the command system of the army. Maybe you can call the airport guard unit from the military headquarters, do an inspection or something, and swagger into the airport.

Li Lingfeng had the idea of camouflaging a high-ranking officer inspecting the defense of the airport for a long time, and he had also discussed it with Wang Tongsheng, and after analysis, he felt that it was impossible, because the special combat team had already used this trick, and the little devil was not stupid, looking at the formation of Xuzhou Airport, they must have already taken precautions. If you don't do it well, you will be spotted in front of the gate of the military airfield and fall into a bitter battle.

As for the idea of entering the headquarters of the 114th Division of the Yue Army and killing them in a big way, this idea is very good, but we have to seize the opportunity, and if we go in and kill them now, it will be tantamount to giving the army an alarm, and the task of attacking the airport will be completely useless.

Thinking about it and thinking about it, there was no way, and Li Lingfeng and the four of them began to continue to wander around Xuzhou City after lunch.

After walking, I arrived near Houcang Lane at the three-way intersection in the middle of Yongkang Road. Here Li Lingfeng discovered a strange phenomenon, many soldiers of the Yue Army were standing in front of the gate of a compound, holding a pass in their hands, patting a long queue, waiting to enter the courtyard. The little devils who came out of the yard were giggling, intoxicated, in groups of three or five, talking dirty words as they walked.

Li Lingfeng stepped forward, patted a little devil on the shoulder, and asked in a Chinese language: "Why don't you stay in the barracks honestly, what are you doing here?" ”

The little devil looked up at Li Lingfeng in a daze, and when he saw that it was a military police captain, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then said with a hippie smile: "Your Excellency, now is the time for soldiers to receive comfort, I finally got a comfort station pass, and I am waiting to enter to receive comfort!" ”

With this remark, Li Lingfeng remembered that when he occupied Taiyuan, Tianjin, and Qingdao, the troops had captured the comfort women of the Yue Army, and they were all released after education. Could it be that this is a comfort station for the Yue army in Xuzhou?

When I looked up, I saw that the decoration faΓ§ade was decorated with the words "Yue Nai Dental Museum", and I was a little puzzled, is this obviously a dental clinic, how did it become a comfort station?

I had doubts in my heart, so I wanted to go in and see what was going on, turned around and nodded to Zhao Yonggang, Zhao Zhiyu, and Sui Xiaofeng, and the four of them lined up, walked forward, pulled the waiting soldiers at the door to the side, and entered with their heads held high.

These soldiers waited in line for so long, and suddenly someone broke the rules and cut in line, so naturally they were unwilling, and immediately someone shouted "Line up, line up!" ”

Li Lingfeng turned his head, glanced at those soldiers viciously, and shouted in a Chinese language: "The gendarmes are on official business, and the others are waiting in line here." ”

At this point, the little devils were silent, and watched with amazement as a few gendarmes walked into the courtyard majestically.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that there were all bungalows inside, which had been transformed into a building, with wooden window lattices, sliding doors, and wooden floors much higher than the outside.

Li Lingfeng was about to break into the room, when he saw a woman in a kimono walk up to him, bow deeply, and say, "Your Excellency Captain has worked hard and is willing to serve you", then straightened up and stretched out his hand to Li Lingfeng to ask for permission to enter and exit the comfort station.

Li Lingfeng said impatiently that he was not here to comfort the comfort station, but was ordered to check the order of the comfort station.

The woman said that this comfort station was established when the capture of Xuzhou, a total of 23 Yamato women and Korean women provided comfort services for the imperial army warriors, the rules and regulations are very sound, regular physical examinations, very clean, very hygienic. As he spoke, he pointed to a glass frame on the wall and asked His Excellency the Captain to look at the rules of the comfort station.

Li Lingfeng took a look and saw a large piece of paper in the frame with comfort instructions written in Chinese:

"This comfort station is only allowed to enter the army and military personnel, and those who enter the comfort station must have a comfort station entry and exit permit; The price of admission tickets is 2 yuan for corporals, non-commissioned officers, and military personnel, and 5 yuan for officers; Those who purchase the ticket enter the designated room for 30 minutes; Admission is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for non-commissioned officers and 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. for non-commissioned officers and military recruits. )”

After reading it, the woman led Li Lingfeng to inspect the room.

When he arrived at the first room, the woman opened the door, and Li Lingfeng saw a soldier of the army ** leaning down, shaking on a woman, disgusting, turning his head and leaving.

The woman thought that she couldn't do it in the same place, which angered the military police captain, so she fell to her knees with a thud and kept saying, "I've caused you trouble, please take care of me." ”

Li Lingfeng wanted to kick this woman to death, but after enduring it, he still let her get up and continue to introduce.

After this woman got up, she didn't dare to let Li Lingfeng and them visit the room again, so she defended that her comfort station was the best in Xuzhou, and they were all Yamato girls and Korean girls of Isshi, and the furnishings in the room were all style, and the imperial warriors liked it very much. Those comfort stations such as the Jiangbei Hotel and Jiaoxing Shuyu, which the Chinese opened for the imperial army, were all captured Chinese women near Xuzhou, and there was only a small wooden bed, a small wooden table, and a wooden chair in the room, and the equipment was very simple, far worse than her comfort station.

As she spoke, the woman took out a condom from the back of her kimono, saying that her condoms were all shipped from the country and were of very reliable quality, and asked Her Excellency the Captain to bring the condom in to receive some comfort, and personally experience the sincere service of the beautiful girl of Yamato, and relieve her fatigue.

Li Lingfeng is not married yet, and he is still in the fog about men and women, but he is so smart, he knows what the condom is for, he is disgusting in his heart, he scolded Baga, pulled the woman and slapped him with a crackle, until the corner of the woman's mouth was bleeding, and her eyes were full of horror, Li Lingfeng scolded Baga again, let go of her, took off the white gloves and threw them in his face, and walked out with Zhao Yonggang and the three of them stupidly.

After walking out of the comfort station, Li Lingfeng thought to himself, this little devil is really a fucking ghost, obviously an ugly comfort station, he has to hang the names of restaurants, medical centers, study apartments, and cooperatives, and sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, so as to deceive the world and cover up his crimes. It seems that after returning home, we must find a camera to take pictures of these scenes and publish them in the newspaper, so that the whole world will know the ugly face of the army.

Li Lingfeng didn't know that the earliest comfort women in Xuzhou were not Yue herself, nor were they Koreans, but 23 Chinese female prisoners of war captured by the Yue Army during the Battle of Xuzhou. At that time, the army took these female prisoners of war to the Zhaoyang Lake at the junction of Feng County and Pei County, and established a secret military academy for the army to be humiliated. Some female soldiers had to be forcibly annihilated by more than 100 soldiers every day, and they were shot if they did not comply. Most of them were tortured to the point of being slumped in bed. The army also published photos of the two captured female soldiers in the 33th issue of the "Pictorial of the China Incident", [***] wanted to rescue these female soldiers, and offered to exchange the prisoners, but the army refused on the pretext that all the prisoners of war were killed by planes. Later, when the army saw that the matter was exposed, they dragged the living female prisoners of war to the field and shot them with machine guns, poured gasoline on them, and burned their bodies to cover up their crimes.

After leaving Xuzhou and returning to the camp, Li Lingfeng couldn't help but tell Wang Tongsheng what he had seen and heard at the comfort station. When Wang Tongsheng heard this, he pondered for a while, and then raised a question: Xuzhou has comfort stations for the army, but Matoushan Airport and Camel Mountain Airport do not. Not to mention the guards at the airport, those pilots are all baby bumps of the army, and the little devils will definitely think of ways to solve their physiological needs. Whether it is the pilots who go into the city to receive comfort services, or the comfort women who go to the airport to provide comfort services, these are all fighter planes, and they should be carefully pondered.

Li Lingfeng thought about it, yes, why didn't he think of it? The little devils are so colorful, can they settle down? Those pilots are the pride of the sky in the eyes of the little devils, if they take a group car in and out of the airport, the sentry inspection will not be so meticulous and serious, maybe the driver will just take a pass and shake it in front of the sentry's face. Taking a step back, even if the pilot had let the comfort women into the airport without leaving the airport, the sentries would not have been too careful in examining the comfort women, and they might have been so desperate that they would have gone down to receive the comfort women. This opportunity can definitely be used, as long as you let your special combat team enter the airport, haha, where will the little devil be the opponent of the special combat team!

Li Lingfeng immediately ordered Zhao Yonggang to lead people to conduct a detailed investigation of the airport again, focusing on the reconnaissance of vehicles entering and leaving the airport.

Zhao Yonggang came back from the investigation and reported the results to Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng. It turns out that there are two main kinds of vehicles entering and leaving the military airport every day, one is to transport fuel, ammunition, and food, and this kind of vehicle is escorted by the security unit of the military airport, and the entry and exit inspections are very strict, and the sentries are all holding passes to check one by one to verify their identity, and there is no chance. One is the car of the military pilot who went into the city to have fun, the car was covered with tarpaulin, and the guard vehicles behind were ordinary trucks, and the sentry only looked at the pass and let it go. Moreover, after entering the city, the military pilots went to a high-level comfort station, not far from the "Yanaiya Museum", which was called "Yamashita Cooperative".
