Chapter 351: The Reconquest of Suiyuan (4)
(PS: It's raining heavily in the city today, and there will be either a power outage or a network outage!) The update is intermittent, and the update at night is not sure if it can be updated on time. If you don't change it tonight, you'll make it up tomorrow. This weather scares people to death! Ask for votes to support! )
As the only military airfield in Suiyuan, after being sacked by the independent column once before, the Japanese army finally did not give it up. Even, on the basis of the original, the airport has been re-expanded and strengthened a lot.
It's just that in winter, the role of Japanese aircraft is also limited a lot. However, when the weather conditions were good, it was helpful for the Japanese army to judge the military deployment of the Eighth Route Army by taking off some reconnaissance planes to conduct intelligence searches.
It was precisely because he knew the importance of Baotou Airport to the Japanese army that He Zhengdao would give the order to destroy Baotou Airport. In his opinion, the destruction of this airfield will also be a major blow to the Japanese army.
As the buried detonator was found, the anxiously waiting special operations detachment also began to feel for the airport. The special combat personnel in white cloaks crawled forward on the snow, and the sentries on the airport watchtower could not detect it.
When the special combat team member who was in charge of the airport assault arrived outside the airport, he found the special combat team member who had the detonator, looked at the brightly lit airport in the distance and said coldly: "This light is too dazzling, let's turn it into night!" ”
As the detonator was pressed, many Japanese soldiers staying at the airport suddenly discovered that crazy monsters suddenly sprang out from under the originally calm ground. As the earth-shattering sound sounded, the buildings in the airport began to collapse in the explosion.
The sky-high flames replaced the previous lights that shone around, and the earth-shattering loud noise made many special combat team members who were waiting outside the airport also feel the shaking of the ground. And this scene also woke up the Japanese army in Baotou City.
'Baga, the airport is attacked! ’
Many Japanese soldiers in Baotou City heard the sound of violent explosions coming from the direction of the airport, and they also realized that the airport had been attacked again. It's just that they are more curious about how such revelations came about.
After all, the previous attack on Baotou Airport was more of a loss from the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army. But was the explosion at the airport an attack, or was the shells stored in the airport exploded?
Many people feel that the former should be more credible. As many people know about the management of ammunition at airports, the likelihood of an explosion is slim to none. But in any case, the accident at the airport is a clear fact.
The huge fire that filled the airport also made the Japanese infantry brigade stationed at the airport feel unbelievable. Because they were in charge of airport security, they didn't notice anyone infiltrating their airport.
So, how did the other side carry out the blasting of the airport?
A huge shock wave swept through the airport, and even many Japanese soldiers who were defending their positions outside the airport were also very shocked and confused. But looking at the collapsed barracks, the Japanese soldiers who woke up knew what to do.
Originally, some Japanese soldiers felt that there should be an enemy attack on them at this time. However, many Japanese troops in defensive positions found that the outside of the airport was also calm, and they could not see anyone sneaking into their airfield.
'Help! ’
Finding that there was no enemy situation outside, the Japanese army, who was responsible for the defense of the outer perimeter of the airport, also began to deploy troops to rescue the airport. After all, they were well aware that under the impact of such an explosion, many people resting in the barracks would be killed.
Even to the distress of many Japanese soldiers, the houses where the pilots were resting were also flattened by the explosion. Looking at it like this, the pilots who live in that house are only afraid that they will be really more auspicious.
But no matter what, if there is a glimmer of life, they have to go to the rescue!
But many Japanese soldiers did not know that when they returned to the camp to carry out the rescue. On the position they were defending, several white shadows were moving cautiously. Without the beacon, it would be difficult for them to spot the shadows.
Just when the Japanese troops who remained on these positions looked at the inside of the airport with concern. On the snow, which was only a dozen meters away from them, black barrels began to stretch out, aiming at these unprepared defenders.
With the sound of gunshots, the Japanese machine gunners in charge of the machine gun position simply fell into the machine gun position. The Japanese troops who were responding next to them were killed one by one in the defensive position in this unprepared situation.
After dealing with the most threatening machine guns, these special operators hiding under white cloaks got up from the snow one after another. Like a ghost in the snow, it launched a surprise attack on the defenders outside the airport.
Fierce gunfire rang out, making the airport, which was already in chaos, even more chaotic. The Baotou garrison, which was awakened at this moment, also knew that the airport was attacked again, and immediately organized infantry to prepare for rescue.
It's just that in such weather and road conditions, they can only reinforce the airport by walking. By the time their reinforcements left Baotou City, the special combat team members who had launched a surprise attack from around the airport had already broken into the airport.
Compared with the previous time when they were trying to seize the planes at the airport, the special combat personnel who raided the Baotou airport this time did not have to worry about anything at all. What they had to do was to shoot the Japanese troops stationed at the airport and blow up the planes on the tarmac.
Each commando has its own mission, and as for the ammunition depots that have not been destroyed, the special combat team members who carry time bombs directly put the time bombs that are detonated within an hour and place them in the dense aerial bombs.
As for the special operators who raided the tarmac, they began to blast the aircraft with the grenades they carried. Listening to the sound of explosions coming from the tarmac and the sound of the plane being blown up, many Japanese soldiers felt distressed.
After all, the price of an airplane is not cheap, and it is all money to blow up a plane!
Half an hour later, the special combat team members who broke into the airport even knew that there were still people in the airport who had not been cleared. But they knew that at this time they had to retreat. Because it won't be long before the reinforcements from Baotou City are almost there.
A brilliant signal flare rose into the air, and the Japanese troops, who were evading the special combat team's clearance, breathed a sigh of relief to see that the ghosts of those raiding the airfield finally left from the surroundings of the dilapidated airfield.
'Yaga! Who the hell are these? ’
The remnants of the Japanese soldiers who came out of hiding cautiously looked at the airfield where there were still a lot of fires burning, and the corpses that could be seen everywhere. For this half-hour blow, many people can't react a little.
At this time, the special combat team members who retreated from the airport were quickly running on the snow. Arriving at the place where the ski equipment was stored, the group quickly carried their guns on their shoulders and quickly evacuated from the predetermined route with flashlights.
For them, tonight's mission is accomplished. If you want to come to this airport, the little devil is afraid that he will never need to repair it again. The reason is simple, the previous explosion was quite complete. If it doesn't blow up, it must not be long waiting.
Just in Baotou, the reinforcements finally saw the airport. Standing outside the airport and looking at the remnants of the Japanese soldiers who were collecting the corpses, many people knew that they were late. The enemy, who attacked the airfield, should have left.
The captain of the infantry brigade who led the team to help said with a little horror and exclamation: "Ba Ge Yalu, who are we fighting against?" ”
The fact that the airfield could be destroyed so completely in such a short period of time was indeed unbelievable to the infantry captain. But even so, he quickly sent his troops into the airport and began to help clean up the mess.
It was also when this infantry brigade quickly drove into the airfield to rescue those pilots who might survive and the Japanese army. The time bomb, buried under a pile of aerial bombs, also finally jumped to the zero position.
The sound of 'tick tick' sounded, and the bundled bomb was quickly detonated. At the same time as the explosion sounded, the aerial bombs piled up on the time bombs also began to be detonated one after another, until the entire arsenal turned into a huge fireball that soared into the sky.
With a loud bang, the bomb depot that had been preserved was exploded like a surging rag doll. The rocks and pieces of iron that shot in all directions completely destroyed the people and objects that blocked their flight.
The infantry brigade, which had just entered the airport to carry out the rescue, undoubtedly became a victim of this explosion. The Japanese troops closest to the arsenal were swept away by the power of the shock wave alone.
As for the Japanese troops who were hit by gravel and iron sheets, there was basically no chance of survival. Such a large explosion caused the Japanese troops at the entire airport to fall into a situation of tinnitus and dizziness for a short time.
On the other hand, the special combat team members who were skiing and evacuating stopped the ski equipment under their feet slightly, looking at the dazzling fireball, and everyone in the team looked very happy. Because they know that this is their last attack!
'Gone! Try to get back to safety before dawn, and we'll be back soon! ’
The captain of the team also smiled and stared at the place of fire in front of him. He knew very well that it was a loud explosion from the explosion of the arsenal. This also means that the airport is completely scrapped.
Although there were a lot of weapons and fuel in the airport, they couldn't bring them back. But they also knew that their mission tonight was to destroy the airport, not rob it. I can't think of much of those things left.
After receiving the telegram sent back by the special combat team that the airport was successfully destroyed, He Zhengdao also felt very satisfied and said: "Well, not bad! Without planes, the little devils want to reconnoiter the marching arrangement of our troops, and they can only reconnoiter through cavalry.
The 1st Cavalry Division was ordered to begin raiding the various strongholds of the Japanese army in Baotou. According to the battle plan formulated before the war, all Japanese strongholds outside Baotou City began to be cleared and Baotou was besieged.
Order the 3rd Division and the Daqingshan Garrison Brigade to launch a full-scale attack tomorrow. First clean up all the Japanese strongholds outside the city of Guisui until finally the two cities of Guisui were encircled. Suiyuan, my independent column is about to be decided. ”
Accompanied by the telegram sent by He Zhengdao late at night, the reconnaissance brigade responsible for Suiyuan to Zhangjiakou and Datong also began to advance in the direction of Zhuozi. What they want to do is to cut off the retreat of the Suiyuan garrison.
As long as the encirclement is formed, the Japanese army will have only one choice left for them except to retreat in the direction of eastern Mongolia, and that is to resist stubbornly to the end. But such stubborn resistance, for the independent column that gathered heavy troops to recover Suiyuan, I am afraid that it will not last long.
Once the recovery of Suiyuan is completed, it is believed that it will also be a great deterrent to the Japanese army that invaded and occupied North China. But for the Eighth Route Army, it means that there is another stable base in a border province! (To be continued.) )
