Chapter 240: Seize the airport

Command of the 37th Army of Chahar

Now it was a busy place, and the staff officers were coming in and out one by one, with anxious expressions on their faces. Su Tong and Jiang Baili's faces were also solemn, now the situation in Beiping is very critical, if Beiping is lost, Tianjin will inevitably not be protected, and the Japanese army will inevitably aim at Chahar. Although they may not immediately attack Chahar, the passage from Chahar to the Central Plains will also be blocked, which is extremely detrimental to the development of Chahar.

"Report, the Beiping Intelligence Station has reported that now the Japanese army is storming Nanyuan Airport, and the defenders of the airport are almost unable to hold on."

"Report, now the defenders of Beiping are shrinking their defensive lines, and there are already signs of retreat."

"Report, more than half of the defenders sent by our department to Beiping have suffered casualties, and a telegram for help has been sent first."

Bad news came one after another.

"We can't wait any longer, we have to send troops right away." Su Tong looked at Jiang Baili and said with a resolute expression: "Since he doesn't want Beiping in the 29th Army, then let us Chahar take over!"

"I immediately order the transport plane to airlift the 10th Division to Nanyuan Airport!"

Su Tong was about to reach for the phone, when suddenly a staff officer hurriedly ran over and reported: "Sir, Nanyuan Airport is lost!" ”

This voice hit everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the loss of Nanyuan Airport means that Chahar's air passage into Beiping has been completely cut off, and Ren Hao's battalion will also become a lone army.

At this time, the eyes of all the staff officers in the war room fell on Su Tong.

Su Tong slowly moved his stiff cervical spine, and his eyes gradually became stern, Since the Japanese want to play with me, then I will play with you.

Su Tong turned his head and looked around at the crowd, and spat out a firm voice in his mouth: "Communication staff, record orders!" ”

"Yes!" A communications staff officer walked over with a folder and stood beside Su Tong.

"Order, Zhang Lingfu's airborne regiment immediately boarded the plane and prepared to land at Nanyuan Airport, and must take Nanyuan Airport back for me!"

"Order the 10th Infantry Division to immediately rush to the airfield and stand by, and enter as soon as the airborne regiment captures the Nanyuan airfield."

"Order the 1st Air Force Division to be dispatched, I don't want to see any planes flying the yao plaster flag in the sky over Beiping! The above command is executed immediately. ”

"Yes!"

The staff officer closed the folder and hurriedly walked out with excitement on his face.

After issuing the order, Su Tong said apologetically to Jiang Baili on the side: "My chief of staff, you won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" ”

Jiang Baili looked at Su Tong with a smile and said, "Jianming, aren't you afraid of making a mistake and taking the airborne regiment in?" ”

Su Tong laughed and said: "In this world, there are many times when there is only one reason to move forward; But there are a hundred reasons to retreat. Many people spend their days looking for a hundred reasons to prove that he is not a coward, but never a single reason to prove that he is a warrior. Didn't I work so hard to train the airborne regiment just to fight devils? If you hide it in the snow because you are afraid of too many casualties, then this airborne regiment might as well not want it! ”

A rapid whistle sounded on the airborne regiment station, Zhang Lingfu stood on the cao field in full armor, an 'ant' submachine gun pointed obliquely at the sky, and saw that more than 3,000 heavily armed soldiers had all assembled in front of him in less than five minutes, it nodded with satisfaction, the quality of this group of soldiers is not the best among the soldiers he has led.

"Brethren, we have work to do!" Zhang Lingfu stared at the soldiers in front of him with big eyes and said loudly: "Today we still have to go airborne, but the place of airborne landing is not our usual training ground, but Nanyuan Airport in Beiping, do you have confidence?"

"Invincible, invincible! Win 100 battles, win 100 battles! ”

The roar of more than 3,000 soldiers shook the sky, Zhang Lingfu was even more satisfied, and he was happy when he heard the battle, this is an iron-blooded army.

In fact, for Chief Su to give him such a Jing Ruijiao as soon as he took refuge, Zhang Lingfu felt Su Tong in his heart.

Some time ago, he didn't think about it, why would Chief Su give him such a division that can be said to be one in a hundred, isn't he afraid that he Zhang Lingfu will take this army away? But later, after Zhang Lingfu learned about the composition and structure of this army, he was discouraged, Su Tong really had this confidence, and he was not afraid that he would pull this army away.

Not to mention whether he can win over these officers and soldiers, even if he can pull these soldiers away, no one in the entire Huaxia country can afford to raise them except for him Su Tong. To have a sharp airborne force, it is necessary to have transport aircraft, and not one or two, it needs dozens or even hundreds. With transport planes, there must also be fighter escorts, right? The airborne troops still need to be trained often, and the money required to maintain an airborne force is more than ten or twenty times that of the ordinary army, so ah, even if Su Tong gives this army to the central government for nothing, the central government can't afford to raise it.

"Alright, let's go!" With Zhang Lingfu's order, all the 3,000 warriors who were ready to go got into the vehicles that had been waiting for a long time, and the convoy rushed to the airport like a rolling torrent.

Beiping Nanyuan Airport

Now that it has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, last night's battle was very fierce, giving the Japanese casualties, and the garrison regiment of the airport guarding it did not take the initiative to retreat until the last moment. This greatly angered the 21st Division, which was responsible for the attack on Nanyuan Airport, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Nagano Kameiichiro, left the 83rd Wing to defend the airfield and then led the 62nd and 82nd Wings to pursue the 29th Army.

The sky is getting brighter, and the visibility of the airport is getting clearer. Originally, it was a wonderful thing to watch the sunrise, but now the daytime is not necessarily a good thing for the Japanese army. Due to the fact that the North China garrison army transferred all the planes to the front line of Rehe, the sky over Beiping City has now become the world of the Chahar Air Force.

The planes that popped up from time to time and the bombs that came with them or the occasional string of machine gun bullets gave the Japanese soldiers a lot of headaches, so the mood of the Japanese soldiers at the airport also became extra sad as the sky brightened.

"Buzz"

At this time, the Japanese troops at the airfield heard the roar of planes in the sky.

"Oh my God, it's here again!" This was the common sentiment of all Japanese soldiers on the airfield.

"Yaga, everyone is hiding in the building, the plane of the people of China is coming!" At this time, the voice of the co-captain Kentai Miura came. Anyway, this airport is empty, is there anything valuable, and the people of China will not be idle to bomb an open space, right? Even if he wants to blow it up, let him blow it up, this is the voice of Kenta Miura and all the Japanese troops of the 83rd Wing.

It's a pity that Kenta Miura is destined to regret this idea and order he has today for the rest of his life.

The first to visit the airport were more than a dozen 47 fighters, and I saw them circling the airport several times, but they did not find any targets, so they had to fly back to the high altitude in a huff.

However, they did not fly far, but kept hovering in the air, as if waiting for something.

After a while, more than a dozen Stukas flew over to join the circle. The Japanese soldiers hiding in the building were also very puzzled when they saw this, what do you want to do when you say these planes are always hovering in the sky? Even if you want to bomb, you have to bomb first? What's the deal with just hovering over our heads and not!

However, this question was quickly answered, and ten minutes later, dozens of huge figures appeared in the sky, which stunned the Japanese soldiers who were hiding in the building and looking out at the bustle.

Oh my God, is there such a big plane in the world? What are they doing here, do they still think this airport is still in their hands?

Dozens of giant planes were also circling in the sky, and suddenly one of them swooped down on the runway.

"It's not good, the people of China are going to seize the airport, stop them!" The first to react was Kenta Miura, although he had never seen a plane make a forced landing or anything like that, but as soon as he found that the transport plane in the sky was forcibly rushing down the runway, he immediately thought that these people were going to seize the airport.

When the airborne regiment arrived, it prepared two plans: one was that the airfield was heavily guarded, and if the planes could not force landing, they would use parachuting to seize the airfield, and the other was that if the airfield's defense was lax, it would take the form of forcibly landing to seize the airfield under the cover of fighters in the sky.

Airborne and parachute landing are basic courses that paratroopers must master well; compared with parachuting, airborne personnel, equipment, and materials are relatively concentrated, and they can be quickly put into battle, and airborne troops do not need special training, and are suitable for airborne operations with large-scale troops and heavy equipment.

At this time, a transport plane that was about to land forcibly rushed straight down to the runway, and finally landed on the runway and began to glide. The Japanese troops also ran out of the various buildings and rushed towards the plane under the shouts of the officers.

At this time, several 47 fighters swooped down from the sky, and they began to sweep at the Japanese soldiers who ran out of the area.

"Da Da Da"

Bursts of rapid gunfire rang out, and the seven-tǐng twelve-seven-caliber machine guns loaded on the 47 fuselage smashed the runway into a splash of sand and gravel, and the Japanese soldiers who ran the most bravely fell under the guns with screams.

"Yaga, hurry up and rush to the runway, you must stop those planes from landing!"

Kenta Miura frantically commanded the Japanese troops to rush towards the runway desperately, but unfortunately the building was still a short distance from the runway, and it was difficult for them to rush to the side of the plane before it stopped, so they could only shoot while running.

At this time, the first plane on the runway stopped, and the rear compartment of the plane began to slowly open as soon as the wheels of the plane touched the ground. Bands of heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the plane.
