Chapter 93: Siege of the Airport
During the time when Chen Jinghui left the airport, Li Dali followed his arrangement and let five snipers continue to lurk in from the weak defense of the devils, and then wait for the opportunity to shoot the devil's sappers.
After a constant back-and-forth attack and shooting, the devil's sappers were frightened, and they were absent-minded when they worked, for fear that they would be shot by those unknown enemies. And as soon as they heard the gunshots, they immediately dropped their tools and looked for a place to hide, even if the gunshots had passed for a long time, they were reluctant to come out to work.
The commander of the 32nd Division saw that the soldiers were frightened by the enemy, which greatly affected the progress of the maintenance of the airfield. In order to reassure the soldiers, he sent a large number of search teams to find those who had shot them.
But what he didn't expect was that no matter how many people he sent, he just couldn't find the specific location of the enemy. He was annoyed that he couldn't even find the eggshells from which the enemy had fired. The deadline given to him by General Shunroku Hata will soon expire, and if he fails to complete the task of repairing the airport, he will have to apologize to the emperor for his seppuku.
"Baga, have those who attacked us caught it?"
He angrily asked the staff officers around him again, hoping that they would answer his ideal outcome.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, not yet. They are still investigating. ”
"Baga, what are you still investigating, the enemy has already run away, and I want them to expand the search area."
"Hay, let's do it."
Hearing that he had not found the enemy, he had been looking for it for a long time, and he was still limited to a small area, which made him very angry, and felt that his subordinates were all a bunch of stupid pigs.
"Division Commander ......"
At 5 p.m. the next day, Chen Jinghui led the independent regiment and the special combat team to a place 10 miles outside the airport. The brigade commanders and regiment commanders who had already felt that he was here saw him coming and stepped forward to greet him.
"Have the troops arrived at their designated positions?"
"Report to the division commander, all units have reached a ten-mile radius outside the airport and are waiting for further orders."
"Okay, now I order a regiment of the 1st Brigade to immediately approach the west of the airport and camp 1 mile away from the devil's defense line, and pay attention to concealment."
The 5th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade quietly detoured to the east of the airport, and also stationed 1 mile away from the devil's defense line, paying attention to concealment.
The two regiments of the Third Brigade and the Independent Regiment immediately approached the Devil's Airport from the south, and they were also stationed at a distance of 1 mile from the Devil's defense line, paying attention to concealment.
The artillery regiment immediately set up artillery positions to provide fire support for all units to attack the airfield. But I am not allowed to fire until I give the order.
The 1st Brigade of the Special Operations Team quietly went around to the back of the airport, found a suitable hiding place and hid it, and waited for combat orders. The other is Wei Hua's guard squadron, which is assigned to each regiment according to the squad unit and cooperates with each unit to fight.
Now the action begins, and everyone must arrive at the designated position by nine o'clock in the evening and wait for the order to attack. ”
Seeing that all the troops had arrived at the positions set out in yesterday's meeting, Chen Jinghui immediately held a simple pre-war military meeting to arrange the specific combat tasks of each unit.
After receiving specific tasks, the brigade commanders and regiment commanders left and dispersed to return to their respective units, and began to quietly march with their troops to the newly designated location.
Because this time they were facing the strength of a division, all the troops participating in the battle were particularly cautious. During the march, try to control the sound as much as possible, so as not to attract the attention of the devils and disrupt Chen Jinghui's plan.
"Lu Meng, how is the artillery position being built?"
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Jinghui came to the artillery position and began to check the construction of the artillery position. This time it was a large corps operation, and the 32nd Devil Division had an artillery brigade in formation. If you want to destroy the artillery of the 32nd Division, you still have to rely on artillery to a large extent.
"Hello division commander, the artillery position has almost been built, and it should be completed in half an hour."
"That's good, this time against the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army, the artillery has a great role, I hope you don't let me down."
"Please rest assured, Lu Meng will definitely live up to his mission and teach the little devil a hard lesson."
"Well, it's good to have faith. But the artillery must be killed after the devil artillery is killed, do you know what I mean? ”
"Understand, we must destroy the devil's artillery position at the first time to reduce the threat to the troops."
"yes, okay."
Chen Jinghui came to inspect the artillery position, first, he really wanted to see if they could finish it at nine o'clock, and second, to see if Lu Meng could think of the key to the application of artillery in this battle. As a result, Lu Meng's answer made him very satisfied.
"Report, calls from all units, all have arrived at the designated location."
"Okay, continue to hide and wait for the order to attack."
As soon as Chen Jinghui returned to his temporary headquarters from the artillery position, the operator came over and told him the current situation of the various units.
After calling the troops back, he looked at the watch on his wrist. It was 8:45 p.m., 15 minutes from the scheduled attack.
Then he sat down at the table and thought about it. He thought through his plan from beginning to end to see where there were still loopholes. As a result, he really thought of something that scared him, and when he thought of it, he immediately got up and left the headquarters, and did not return until ten minutes later. As for what he did in the ten minutes he was away, he didn't tell anyone.
And during the time he was preparing, the devil was not idle. In order to catch up with the schedule, the commander of the 32nd Division ordered all the searchlights in the airport to be turned on and the airfield was built overnight.
Although the scene inside the airport seems to give people a feeling of being in full swing, the devils at the airport are battle-hardened after all, and they are still very sensitive to potential dangers.
"Yaga, why are you so depressed tonight."
The commander of the 32nd Division, who was sitting at the headquarters, felt a sense of depression in the air, which made him breathless.
"Division Commander, you feel this way too."
When the chief of staff of the 32nd Division saw the division commander speak, he himself expressed his feelings.
"Nani, so do you."
"Hay, division commander, don't you think it's too quiet tonight?"
"Hmm??? You're right, indeed. I was ordered to cheer up all the troops, to keep a close watch on all movements around the airfield, and not to make any disclosures. ”
The danger that everyone else sensed, the night was too quiet to-day, and it made them feel like something was going to happen. As a precaution, he immediately ordered all troops to be on increased vigilance and to take precautions.
Chirp......
They had just finished speaking, and they hadn't had time to go out to deliver the order. I saw a red light in the night sky, and a red flare burned and rose into the sky.
"Baga, enemy attack, fast ......"
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Bang bang bang
The commander of the 32nd Division saw the flares and knew that it was not good, that the enemy was going to attack the airfield. He immediately wanted to order the troops to enter the first level of combat readiness, but before he could finish speaking, a dense burst of gunfire was heard outside the airport.
"It was reported that the east, south and west sides of the airport were attacked, and the enemy's firepower was very strong."
"Baga, it seems that they have already planned it. Command the troops to give me a hard fight, and make sure to destroy the enemy outside the airfield. ”
Not long after the gunfire rang out, the front-line troops immediately transmitted the news of the attack to the command headquarters and informed the command of the approximate situation of the enemy's firepower.
Of course, the commander of the 32nd Division knew that someone had attacked the airfield at night, but now he didn't even know who the enemy was, how many people there were, whether there were follow-up troops, and so on. So he had to order his troops to block the enemy and wait to figure out the enemy's specific situation before making plans.
"Hit, hit me hard."
As soon as the battle began, several regiment commanders in charge of the main attack immediately arrived at the front line, and while directing the soldiers to fight, they also paid attention to the enemy's situation, so that they could report to the command headquarters in time, so that Chen Jinghui could make combat adjustments as soon as possible.
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Bang bang bang
"Baga, why are they so powerful."
Not long after the battle began, the devil's first line of defense was shattered, and there were holes everywhere. Moreover, judging by the enemy's firepower, the enemy may be equipped with a lot of light and heavy machine guns, so they can form such a firepower network and press them to the death.
"Baga, order the artillery, knock out their heavy fire."
The night of the first line of defense was getting bigger and bigger, and the commander of the devil wing in command of the front line immediately ordered the mortar of the wing to suppress the enemy with the help of mortar fire, so as to relieve the pressure on the front-line soldiers.
Boom, boom, boom
As soon as the mortars fired, more than a dozen shells were fired in unison, and suddenly more than a dozen shells flew towards the attacking troops on the Flying Fox's side. The first test shot was fired, so it basically hit around the attacking troops, and there was not much damage to the troops.
Boom, boom, boom
Bang bang
Yes...... Yes......
As soon as the second round of shells was fired, the prepared special operators opened fire. Since it was a night attack, they were all in teams of two, with colleagues shooting one target. As a result, the two mortar operators of the devil were killed instantly.
Because at this moment, it was the time when the two sides exchanged fire fiercely, and the gunfire of the special combat team members was completely mixed in, and the devils couldn't tell the difference at all. So when the two mortar crewmen were killed, the captain of the devil company thought that they had been killed by a grenade, and he didn't care about it at all.
"Baga, why haven't you eliminated the enemy's heavy firepower and let the artillery hit on time."
I saw that several rounds of shelling had been undertaken, but the enemy's firepower did not weaken in the slightest. In this way, the captain of the devil wing was very annoyed, he thought that the artillery was incompetent and could not hit the enemy's heavy fire point.
Boom, boom, boom
The devil mortar once again opened fire on the enemy on the opposite side, and they were also very depressed, unable to understand why they could not blow up the enemy's heavy fire point after several rounds of bombardment.
