Chapter 360: Losing Shimen and Breaking Soldiers
The words of the brother are very arrogant, as if the little devil's Iron King Eight is a group of local chickens who give what they want, but after seeing the power of the "big smoking gun", the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army are convinced of this, this thing can even tear the brick wall of the turret, and penetrate the thin iron shell of the Iron King Ba, presumably it is no problem.
The [***] brothers led by him said to Yu Ting: "Commander Yu, please trouble the Eighth Road brothers to dig a few ditches on the road, and then dig a trench at a distance of about sixty meters. ”
"No problem." Yu Ting said, "It'll be right away." ”
After that, Yu Ting turned around and gave the battle order.
………… Next to the Pinghan Railway, a military convoy was slowly moving along the highway.
Needless to say, the firepower of the Type 95 light tanks and armored vehicles was set up on the nine side tricycles, and this kind of firepower density was absolutely rare in the field units of the Japanese army.
In addition, there were more than a hundred devil infantry running behind the convoy to follow up.
This convoy is the motorized infantry squadron of the 5th Infantry Brigade stationed in Neiqiu County.
Captain Hojo Tsukasa is the squadron leader of this motorized infantry squadron, and at this time, Captain Hojo is sitting in the captain's room of the Type 95 light tank, reaching out and gently rubbing the black and white photo in his hand, the woman in the photo is wearing a traditional kimono, beautiful as a flower, she is Captain Hojo's lover, her name is Mieda.
Suddenly, Captain Hojo had in his mind the last night before the expedition.
That night, Captain Hojo was entangled with Mieko under a cherry tree in his backyard.
Captain Hojo can still vividly recall Mieda's beautiful body, that slippery skin, and the fatal pleasure of the hot clench, to be honest, Captain Hojo hates this damn war very much, he doesn't want to stay here for a moment, he dreams of returning to Tokyo, returning to Mieda's side...... "crunch......" slowly moving chariot suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Captain Hojo hurriedly put away the photo, looked up and asked, "Why did you park?" ”
The driver turned around and replied, "Sir, the road ahead has been damaged by the dirt road and cannot continue to pass. ”
"Yagayalu, damn dirt eight roads." Captain Hojo frowned and shouted, "Order, the engineer team immediately repairs the road, and the rest of the teams pay attention to the ......"
As the words fell, Captain Hojo suddenly saw the lookout hole light up.
"Huh, what's going on?" Captain Hojo subconsciously turned his head, and then the hairs on his body stood up all of a sudden, and he clearly saw that a shell had torn through the left side of the chariot's armor, and at the last moment of his death, Captain Hojo could even clearly see the whole process of the conical warhead drilling into the chariot!
Almost as soon as it got into the compartment, the shells exploded.
Captain Hojo only felt that his whole body was pushed hard by something, and then his eyes turned pale, and then he completely lost consciousness, forever unconscious.................. Outside the chariot, the position of the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that the [***] brothers really killed the little devil's "Iron King Eight" with a cannon, Yu Ting suddenly looked uplifted, raised the clean face box in his hand is a shot from the horn, and the next moment, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lying in the trenches, on the wilderness, and in the ditch immediately pong pong away, and the group of devil infantry who followed on foot were suddenly piled up.
The little devil's reaction was very fast, although Captain Hojo was killed, but the remaining devil soldiers still made the most correct response in the shortest possible time with good tactical literacy, and the remaining three armored vehicles and the light and heavy machine guns on the side three wheels fired at the same time, suppressing the firepower of the Eighth Route Army at once.
However, the good times did not last long, and another dazzling tongue of fire burst out from the position of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately dragged a long tail flame into the compartment of an armored car, whose armor was as thick as 5mm, which could easily block the machine gun and rifle bullets of the Eighth Route Army, but was easily torn apart by this tongue of fire.
In an instant, a dazzling fire erupted in the armored car, and then there was a deafening huge explosion, and the originally majestic armored car suddenly turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The rest of the other armored cars finally panicked and quickly reversed and fled.
But it was too late, the Eighth Route Army had already secretly dug up the road behind, and the two armored cars ran less than two miles with nine side three wheels and the remaining seventy or eighty devil infantry, and they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, losing the cover of armored cars, plus it was a wilderness, and the remaining seventy or eighty devil soldiers were quickly wiped out.
………… Neiqiu County, the headquarters of the 5th Infantry Brigade.
Mitsui Shaoza was pacing back and forth anxiously in the command headquarters.
Suddenly, Captain Kondo walked out of the communication room with a solemn expression, and Mitsui Shaosa frowned and asked, "What's the matter, the Hojo squadron still can't be contacted?" "Hello. Captain Kondo bowed his head abruptly and said, "The radio station of the Hojo squadron has never been able to call. ”
"Yaga." Mitsui Shaosa scolded angrily, "Hojo Tsukasa, this idiot, what the hell is he doing?" ”
Captain Kondo said: "Captain, I think something is wrong, do you want to send a cavalry team to take a look?" ”
"Cavalry squad?" Mitsui Shaozo frowned, and said without a good breath, "Kondo-kun, do you think it is possible for the cavalry squad to break through the fire blockade of the Tsuchihachi Road?" After saying this, Mitsui Shaozo said again, "Forget it, it will be dawn in two hours, and the aviation will be able to take off after dawn, and then everything will be known." ”
………… The western suburb of Shimen, Dakou Village Airport.
After the Baoshan Division's surprise attack on Shimen last year, the Dakou Village Airport was destroyed by the destruction of the surname, and all the facilities of the airport were dismantled and destroyed, and even a nail was not left, but after the army recaptured Shimen, it soon spent a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild the Dakou Village Airport.
After the reconstruction, the airport was expanded by the Japanese army and became one of the four major air bases in North China.
At present, the airport is stationed at the airport all year round with a reconnaissance aircraft group, a fighter group, and two bomber groups, as well as an airport service squadron and an antiaircraft artillery squadron; in addition, in addition to the garrison squadron at the airport itself, the 28th Division stationed in Shimen has also specially transferred an infantry brigade to be responsible for the defense of the airport.
Bunker groups have also been built around the airport, and these bunker groups are within the same system as the bunker groups around Shimen and Zhengding, in other words, the Dakou Village Airport, Shimen City, and Zhengding County are all within the fortress defense circle carefully constructed by Okamura Ningci, and its defense is by no means an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable.
At four o'clock in the morning, the 1st Regiment of the Baoshan Division successfully approached the outskirts of the airport under the cover of night.
Du Xuewen, the commander of the 1st Regiment, raised his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Map!" ”
The attendant adjutant who followed behind him hurriedly took out the map from his satchel and spread it out, and turned on the flashlight, Zhao Jiuding, chief of staff of the 1st Regiment, and the three battalion commanders immediately surrounded him, Du Xuewen was originally the chief of staff of the 1st Regiment, and after the reorganization of the 39th Group Army, the old 1st Regiment became the Tumen Fortress Garrison Regiment, and Du Xuewen also became the colonel of the new 1st Regiment.
As for Zhao Jiuding and the three battalion commanders, they are all officers who graduated from the Central Military Academy.
The group of cadets of the Central Military Academy sent by Chairman Jiang have all grown up rapidly after the baptism of war in the teaching brigade, and they have all been entrusted with important tasks by Yue Weihan, and most of them have become battalion commanders or even regimental chiefs of staff, and only a small number of ill-intentioned cadets have been "seconded" by Yue Weihan to the Jin Suijun.
Chief of Staff Zhao Jiuding pointed to the map and said to Du Xuewen: "Tuanzao, there should be an airport in front!" ”
Du Xuewen nodded, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order all infantry battalions and artillery battalions to check the ammunition and prepare for battle!" ”
Du Xuewen's order was quickly conveyed by mouth, and the infantry pushed the bullets into loading and loaded the bayonets.
The artillerymen also began to nervously check the equipment, and whether they could destroy the aircraft on the airfield this time was up to them.
After the attack is launched, it is very likely that the pilots of the army will take off their planes desperately, and it will take about 10 minutes from the time they are alarmed to the time they take off the planes, that is to say, the artillery of the Baoshan Division must arrive within 500 meters of the runway of the airport within 10 minutes to ensure the destruction of the planes that have not yet taken off! ”
………… Tumen Fortress, the second basement headquarters of the main bunker of Baoqian Mountain.
Liu Yi looked at his watch, the time had already pointed to half past four in the morning, and immediately said to Yue Weihan: "General seat, Du Xuewen's 1st regiment should have almost arrived at the airport in Dakou Village, right?" ”
"Hmm." Yue Weihan's expression was indifferent.
Liu Yi was inevitably a little nervous in his heart.
Whether or not we can take Shimen this time and eliminate the headquarters of the 28th Division of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop depends on whether Yu Du Xuewen's 1st Regiment can destroy the aircraft at the Dakou Village Airport.
As long as the 1st Regiment can destroy the planes at the Dakocun airfield in a timely manner, then the 39 th Group Army will have a great chance to break through the bunker groups on the periphery of Shimen, and by the time the planes from the Beiping, Tianjin, and Jinan airports arrive, the officers and men of the 39 th Group Army will already have already broken into the Shimen urban area to mingle with the Yue army, and at that time, the air superiority of the Yue army will be gone.
"In half an hour, the general offensive will begin." Liu Yi subconsciously raised his wrist again, looked at the time again, and said to Yue Wei Fahan, "I don't know if Du Xuewen, this kid, can succeed, if he can't succeed and let the little devil's plane calmly take off with ammunition, then the next battle will not be easy to fight." ”
"Chief of Staff, you can relax." Yue Weihan said indifferently, "The artillery battalion of the 1st Regiment is a reinforced artillery battalion, fully equipped with twenty bazookas, eighteen 60 mortars and four unconscionable guns, how can such a dense firepower be worse?" Didn't Okamura Ningji, this old devil, want to fish, I want him to lose Shimen and break his army! ”
