Chapter 36: Preparing for the Camp
"Head, that kid is still following behind, what should we do? Do you really want to take her with you? Erniu, who was in charge of the guard on the back road, rushed over, and a small figure really appeared on the mountain beam behind, Tang Lei didn't need to look at it to know that it was Chunni who followed all the way. Hastily instructed Sun Jin a few words, Tang Lei, who lost his temper, left the village with the team on the same day, Yuncheng Airport was still more than 100 miles away, and the anxious Tang Lei only thought about rushing to the periphery of the airport as soon as possible, but he didn't notice that Chunni, who was supposed to stay in the village, followed and chased out, and when they found out, they were dozens of miles away from the village.
"Rest in place for half an hour" Tang Lei looked at his watch, he had been walking for three hours in a row, 10 miles an hour, they had now walked more than 30 miles of mountain roads, the child in the back was afraid that he was not light, Tang Lei's heart had a trace of expectation, he wanted to see how long the child could last. Half an hour later, the team continued on the road, and the little figure really followed up again, Tang Lei raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, gave the two cows beside him a color, and took the team all the way by himself.
The attack that appeared outside the airport half a month ago really made the Japanese squadron guarding the airport nervous for a while, and they even transferred more than 200 imperial troops from the city to guard the perimeter of the airport, but seeing that half a moon had passed, there was no movement around the airport. "Sagawa, arrange for those Imperial Allied troops to return to the city today, they are not needed here" Shaosa Ono is currently the highest-ranking officer in the airport, he doesn't look down on the Imperial Allied Army with low combat effectiveness at all, and he is transferred to the airport to find a group of cannon fodder to attract the opponent's firepower.
"Yes, Your Excellency Shaoza" Adjutant Sagawa turned to go out, and Ono lowered his head to play with the Xuande furnace he had just gotten from a wealthy local merchant. Ono is not an officer from a family, before joining the army he was just a speculative businessman who failed, China's vast land and countless rich people made Ono see the opportunity to join the army to make a fortune in China, in fact, Ono since he entered China, he did this, he was not interested in killing people and pursuing anti-Japanese forces, his only interest was the money and those antique jewelry in his pocket.
When Tang Lei and the others rushed to the periphery of the airport, they were just in time for the more than 200 imperial troops to withdraw from the airport, and they looked at a large group of people, and Tang Lei and the people were hidden in a shallow ditch 2 miles away from the airport. "Tang Tou, what are these Japanese playing? These Imperial Cooperative troops seem to be going back to the city, so they are not afraid that the empty troops at the airport will be exploited by us? The old bark lying next to Tang Lei smiled wickedly, the Japanese squadron in the original airport had been fought out by the guerrillas, if the more than 200 imperial troops also left, wouldn't there be only two squads of less than 200 Japanese soldiers left?
"Smack" Tang Lei raised his hand and rewarded the old bark with a brain melon, "Stupid, do you think the Japanese will be so stupid?" What we have is time, let's take a look first, don't worry" Tang Lei didn't tell his subordinates, Zhao Zhi only gave him a week, and now 5 days have passed, and they only have 2 days left to complete this task. Tang Lei didn't know why Zhao Zhi asked that this task must be completed within seven days, but he knew that Zhao Zhi naturally had his considerations, and he only needed to carry out the requirements as required.
"Tang Tou, that kid is following again, what should I do?" Erniu Mao jumped all the way over with his waist, Chunni with a small face followed behind him, more than 100 miles of mountain roads, Tang Lei couldn't figure out how this kid kept up. However, Erniu's words solved Tang Lei's doubts, "The little guy couldn't walk halfway down, I asked her to go back, but she didn't listen, so I had to carry her back" Erniu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Tang Lei, Tang Lei explained that he secretly looked at the little guy, but he didn't ask him to bring the little guy to the airport.
"Do you really want to follow us?" Looking at Chunni, who was self-caring and self-reliant with a crossbow, Tang Lei asked softly, this little girl's mind is so tenacious, which is beyond Tang Lei's expectations.
Chunni looked up at Tang Lei, nodded with a small face, and clenched her little hand crossbow tightly. Both parents died at the hands of Japanese soldiers, Chunni has long had no relatives, and living to avenge her parents is Chunni's only thought. Tang Lei and these people are obviously much stronger than the guerrillas, and the vengeful Chunni doesn't care who Tang Lei is, she just knows that following these people can kill Japanese soldiers and avenge her dead parents.
"But we can't take you with us, you better go back to the village, there are guerrillas there, and they are also devils" Tang Lei still shook his head and didn't want Chunni to follow them. The attack on the airport was extremely dangerous, Tang Lei himself was not sure of survival, and taking such a little girl was simply a sin.
"I won't go back, you can fight devils, I want to follow you" Chunni stared at Tang Lei stubbornly, repeating the words she had said to Tang Lei in the village, "I can hunt, I will use crossbow arrows, I will set traps, I am also familiar with the terrain here, I can feed myself, I don't have to eat your things"
Tang Lei was happy, and looked at this stubborn little girl with a smile, "It's not impossible for you to stay, call me godfather, you can stay" After speaking, Tang Lei turned his head and continued to observe the terrain of the airport with a telescope, and never looked at Chunni again. The old bark lying next to him was holding back a smile desperately, Tang Lei is only in his twenties this year, this little girl looks eleven or twelve years old, if this is really a father and daughter, who will believe it.
Tang Lei didn't say that he would leave Chunni or send her away, so Chunni, who had been staring at Tang Lei, stayed in the shallow ditch and lay down with the mercenaries. "Old horse, you take two people to prepare our explosives, old bark, take your people to see the machine gun bunkers at the four corners of the airport, see if our Bazooka can reach it, by the way, look for the Japanese secret post or something, don't wait for us to touch it at night and suffer a big loss" Without further ado, Tang Lei looked at the slightly depressed airport and decided to do it tonight.
The floor plan of the airport has been repeatedly read by Tang Lei, and Tang Lei can know the functions of each building in it and the number of people living in it. Just like the plan that the military commander got back was marked, the old bark took the scouts around the airport in a big circle, and there were indeed four heavy machine gun fortifications at the four corners of the airport, and the old bark left a scout at each corner, asking them to look at the time, stare at the heavy machine gun fortifications they were responsible for, and figure out the time and frequency of the changing of the guard of the Japanese soldiers in those fortifications.
When Tang Lei set off, he specially asked for four Bazooka and two 100mm mortars, and the whole team of 40 people, including Tang Lei, each carried a mortar shell and a Bazooka rocket on their backs, which was all Tang Lei's long-range firepower. In order to carry as many bullets, grenades and explosives as possible, Tang Lei and they didn't even bring machine guns, 5 snipers, 10 Garand riflemen, and the rest of the mercenaries were equipped with submachine guns.
Since Zhao Zhi received this task, Tang Lei has been studying this floor plan, and even on the way here, he is still thinking about it in his mind. But after seeing the layout in the airport with his own eyes, Tang Lei knew that all his previous plans were in vain, the Japanese commander in the airport was obviously a competent guy, and the Japanese troops stationed in the airport were placed by him in the east and west, if Tang Lei chose to touch the camp at night, no matter which direction he entered the airport, he would encounter or be discovered with the Japanese army.
The mercenaries sent out returned to the shallow ditch one after another, and the information re-detected was also summarized one by one, Tang Lei piled up an extremely simple airport sand table in the shallow ditch according to the information brought back by the mercenaries, and marked some targets that needed to be taken care of on the sand table. "Here are the heavy machine gun fortifications at the four corners of the airport, the Bazooka shooters lock them before we move, once we enter the airport and the Japanese exchange of fire, you must cut off the heavy machine gun fortifications at the first time, and lay down the road for us to retreat at any time" Tang Lei pointed to the position on the sand table while pointing at the four Bazooka shooters with his hand.
"As soon as we open fire at the airfield, the Japanese will definitely use their two armored vehicles, and the Bazooka shooters who have knocked out the heavy machine gun fortifications will immediately move into the airfield, looking for an opportunity to kill their armored vehicles, and of course, those buildings that cannot be dealt with by submachine guns are also your targets." Tang Lei turned his words and looked at the two mortars in the squad, "2 mortars and all the shells, I will leave them all outside the airport, if we exchange fire with the Japanese army, the second echelon will use walkie-talkies to give you coordinates and directions, you have to shoot as many shells into the airport as possible"
"Old Ma, I'll give you four people, your task is to prepare all the explosives as soon as we enter the airport, set them up as tripping triggers, and if we exchange fire with the Japanese army, you have to take people to plant explosives on the retreat route we have negotiated, and guide our retreat. If we can't get out, you immediately retreat with the rest of the people, don't forget to take this little guy with you too, don't go back to that village on the mountain, go straight back to Zhangwu County"
Everything was arranged, Tang Lei and the others began to change their clothes, since they were already planning to use the night to carry out a sneak attack on the camp, the Japanese military uniforms they brought were no longer needed. Chunni was assigned a job by Tang Lei, staying with the mortars, and by the way, looking at the big bags of Japanese military uniforms, these things were not needed in the camp at night, and when the task was completed and retreated, these Japanese military uniforms might come in handy.
