Chapter Thirty-Nine: Defeat in the First Battle

The snipers who ran up to the watchtower on the south side had just selected their respective shooting positions, and suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from the watchtower on the west side of the airport, followed by an explosion of "boom", and a guy covered in fire flew out of the watchtower screaming. "Oops, there's a gun in there" Huang Jiu, who was biting the candy ball in his mouth, stood up from the ground, Chunni, who was sitting on the pile of Japanese military uniforms, was already drowsy, and was also awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire, and stretched her neck to look inside the airport.

"Tell mortars to bombard the planes and hangars on the runway, distract the attention of the Japanese troops, and immediately" Tang Lei, who was running down from the watchtower, happened to bump into the foottalkers, and immediately ordered him to go to the top of the watchtower to provide the mortars outside with the coordinates of the bombardment, and he himself picked up the submachine gun and took the idle mercenaries to start cleaning the key targets in the airport. Bazooka's range is only between 100 and 120 meters, but the Yuncheng airport is very large, and if they want to destroy the buildings in the airport, they must penetrate more than 100 meters.

At the same time that Bazooka frantically bombarded those buildings, mortar shells from outside also fell on the runway of the airport, and the neatly parked fighters were shrouded in flames and shrapnel.

"What's going on?" Ono, who was shirtless and wearing only military pants, stood in the open space with a command knife in his hand, surrounded by Japanese soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep. Ono was lucky, as the supreme commander of the airfield, he had a separate barracks, and it was not next to the barracks of the soldiers, and the first round of bombardment of the barracks by Bazooka shooters did not hit Ono. "Organize a counterattack immediately, take out the power of the Imperial warriors to defeat our enemy, and give it to you" The shirtless Ono rushed towards the place where the gunfire was most dense with a command knife and a group of soldiers.

"Onboard, onboard" The Japanese soldiers who had just escaped from the barracks pounced on the mercenaries with a grenade that pulled the strings, even though their bodies were full of bullet holes, as long as they still had the strength to move their feet, these crazy guys still pounced fiercely. "Boom" "Boom" The explosion of the grenade was mixed with flesh and blood, which disrupted the battle formation of the mercenaries, and while dodging shrapnel, Tang Lei and the others had to fight separately.

"Head, there are too many of them, we can't stand it like this" ran over with an old bark with a black face, his left arm was full of blood, and the battle didn't take long to start, and the sky turned up white, it was still a shadowy figure, but now it is already a little clear, and the Japanese army's shooting has begun to be more accurate, Tang Lei's advantage is disappearing little by little. There was a "boom", the watchtower on the south side of the airport was shrouded in a cloud of smoke, and the Japanese troops moved out their mortars and were clearing the snipers in the watchtower with artillery fire.

"Snipers, snipers, report casualties, report your casualties" Tang Lei didn't care to answer the old bark, pulled the footman next to him, and asked about the casualties of the snipers on the watchtower. The watchtower in the airport is a concrete structure, and it is impossible for the 60 mortars of the Japanese army to destroy the watchtower in one go, and Tang Lei believes that there will be living snipers inside.

There was a coughing sound from the walkie-talkie, and a hoarse voice came out of the walkie-talkie, "We're fine, we're all alive, but the motor and the third child are seriously injured, and they need to be sent out immediately for the military doctor to see" There was no sound in the walkie-talkie, Tang Lei knew that it was waiting for his answer, Zhao Zhi only sent 5 snipers to himself, once they left the commanding heights of the airport, those Bazooka shooters would have no covering firepower, and the Bazooka shooters who were only equipped with pistols would become quite dangerous.

"You withdraw immediately, after finding the military doctor, take the wounded and mortar men to converge, and then stand by in place" Tang Lei threw the walkie-talkie back to the walkie-talkie, and continued to rush into the airport with the help of cover. There are more and more Japanese troops, and the mercenaries who are small in number are facing great dangers, Huang Jiu, who was waiting outside the airport, had to change places after two shots in order to avoid the Japanese mortars, and the old horses who were responsible for installing explosives could not get close to the hangar and the tower at all.

"Scatter to" a group of Japanese soldiers formed a battle formation to squeeze Tang Lei and them, "Da Da" The light machine guns of the Japanese army fired intensively pressed Tang Lei They couldn't raise their heads, and as time went by, the mercenaries began to have casualties, and even Tang Lei's left arm was shot. "How many shells are left?" Huang Jiu adjusted the angle of the mortar according to the coordinates reported by the foot soldiers, and Chunni, who had nothing to do, became Huang Jiu's assistant and carried the mortar shells for them.

"Let's go, let's go" After firing the last shell, Huang Jiu used a grenade to make a deceitful trap under the mortar, and rushed away with Chunni and another gunner. The Japanese artillery was also very accurate, and Huang Jiu and they had just left for a short time, and a few mortar shells from the airport fell on Huang Jiu's gun position. "Mom's, fortunately, we withdrew quickly" Huang Jiu, who had already run away, looked at the smoke column rising from the gun position with some fear, and Chunni, who had always been very calm, also pursed her mouth at this time, with a trace of panic and fear in her eyes.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way" Tang Lei didn't retreat for a long time, and the mercenaries waiting on the periphery were anxious, and a few guys raised heavy machine guns to come up. I have to say that the heavy firepower is still relatively fierce, and the two heavy machine guns only hit a few bullet boards, and they successfully suppressed the light machine guns of the Japanese army on the opposite side, but it is impossible for Tang Lei and them to destroy the entire airport, because the reinforcements from the direction of Yuncheng will soon arrive here.

"Damn" Tang Lei pulled a mercenary who was shot back, "Retreat, withdraw immediately" Seeing the old horse who planted the bomb retreating with his mercenaries, Tang Lei, who was responsible for attracting the attention of the Japanese army, shouted loudly and ordered the mercenaries who were still fighting to retreat. The runway of the airfield has become a sea of fire, all the buildings within the range of Bazooka have been destroyed, and several rows of mortars in the barracks have been razed to the ground.

"Armored car, the Japanese armored car is coming" The hiding place of the old bark was splashed by the sparks swept by the heavy machine guns on the armored car, and more than a dozen Japanese cats rushed up with the armored car, and the submachine guns in the hands of the mercenaries did not work on the armored car at all, and the bullets hit the armored car, at most it was just to build a string of sparks. "Boom" "Boom" Old Bark quickly threw out two grenades, and with the help of the smoke formed by the grenade explosion, he crawled back, and the heavy machine gun chased his footsteps and shot a string of smoke columns on the ground, fortunately Old Bark moved quickly, otherwise he would really be beaten into a sieve.

Without waiting for Tang Lei's order, the two Bazooka shooters who joined them were half-kneeling on the ground, and the Bazooka they were carrying on their shoulders had already aimed at the armored car that was rumbling over. "Okay" The bombardier placed the lead of the rocket, slapped the shooter's steel helmet hard, and the two tail flames visible to the naked eye rushed out, and the Japanese armored car that had no time to dodge turned into two fireballs, and at such a close distance, it was too easy to bombard a Japanese armored vehicle equipped with only thin armor with a bazooka equipped with armor-piercing shells.

The Japanese armored vehicle hit by the Bazooka armor-piercing shell exploded again, and the burning flames caused the ammunition and fuel loaded inside the armored vehicle to detonate, and the armor fragments splashed off in a reflective manner became a nightmare for the Japanese infantry who followed the armored vehicle. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's shrapnel attack, Tang Lei and their wounded and killed mercenaries began to retreat, "Bang" "Bang" "Bang" settled the wounded, and the snipers who returned to the airport began to provide Tang Lei with retreat cover firepower, and the accurate shooting made the pursuing Japanese soldiers dare not show their heads rashly.

Without armored vehicles, the pursuing Japanese troops could not stop Tang Lei's intensive submachine gun shooting, and the distance between the two sides gradually widened, but the soldiers under Ono were still in hot pursuit, until Tang Lei and they withdrew from the airport and disappeared into the wilderness, Ono's group still stuck to Tang Lei and them like a piece of cowhide plaster. "Quick, speed up, we must catch up with them, the reinforcements from Yuncheng will arrive soon, we have to catch up and kill these nasty people" Looking at the blood stains that appeared on the ground from time to time, Ono howled like a beast, urging his Japanese soldiers to speed up.

"Old Bark, you take everyone to go first, I will lead a team of people to lead away the chasing Japanese troops, let's meet at Wulipo" Tang Lei couldn't help but say, so he asked Old Bark to go first with all the wounded and the corpses of the mercenaries who died in battle, and Huang Jiu, who had already run out of shells, was also among them. Tang Lei just ordered a sniper and a Bazooka shooter to follow him, and the other mercenaries were all submachine gunners, holding bloody gauze removed from the wounded, Tang Lei took 6 mercenaries to run in a completely different direction from Wulipo.

"You go first, I'll leave behind" Huang Jiu, the oldest and one of the scouts, were arranged by Old Bark to be sharp soldiers, and then the wounded mercenaries and Chunni, the bodies of those mercenaries who died in battle were carried by other mercenaries, and Old Bark took two scouts to stay at the end to clean up the traces they left. Ono and they quickly chased Tang Lei to the place where they divided their troops, "bang" "bang" 500 meters away sniper shot, the two soldiers standing next to Ono were shot and fell to the ground, "chase them and kill them" The disgraced Ono was extremely angry, and commanded his soldiers to chase in the direction where the bullet came.
