Ning Shuxin's team was far away from the assembly location, and when they arrived, Cheng Tianhan, the commander of the 9th Division of the Airborne Army, had already assembled nearly 10,000 soldiers, and the airdropped 75 mm caliber howitzers had been assembled a lot, and even several warrior light tanks had been launched - every time the airborne operation, the crash rate of the warrior tanks was quite high, and it would be good to find half of them airborne.

If the large army is found, Major Ning's temporary team will be disbanded, and the soldiers will return to their respective establishments. The troops are about to move, and the operational nature of the paratrooper units can be summed up in the word "fast"!

The essence of paratrooper warfare is to launch a quick surprise attack at the enemy's most unexpected location, before the enemy can react. The 9th Division's rendezvous point was on the bank of the Tama River (in Japanese, rivers and rivers are called rivers), and the target Haneda Airport was on the left bank of the Tama River estuary.

Ning Shuxin led his battalion to follow the front army in the team, and the nearly 400-strong paratrooper battalion still had 67 soldiers who had not returned to the army. In previous battles, this situation was normal, in areas with difficult terrain, it was even more difficult to assemble, and some fighters may encounter sudden events or other difficulties, and if they did not reach the assembly point after the assembly time, they would consciously go to the second assembly place to join the team.

But Major Ning's mind always appeared the figure of the comrade-in-arms who had been cut off his head. As a paratrooper, the word sacrifice is not unfamiliar, not to mention actual combat, even during peacetime training, accidents often occur and casualties occur.

Paratroopers are hunters on the brink of hell. Sacrificeable warriors were beheaded...... Ning Shuxin was secretly praying that his soldiers would never have such a tragedy again.

Twenty minutes later, the 9th Guards Airborne Division arrived at the second assembly point, the last of its kind before launching an assault on the airfield, which was only four kilometers from Edomi Town, Haneda, where Haneda Airport was located.

Ning Shuxin's battalion returned with sixty-five people, and there were still two fighters left to return. This time has not come back yet, and it is estimated that there is more luck than luck. Sure enough, according to the statistics of the division staff, on the way back to the building, the soldiers found a total of 36 paratroopers killed by the Japanese, of which 33 were ...... The other 3 were thrown into the fire by the Japanese to be burned and destroyed, and were found by other soldiers. The entire division, after the second rendezvous, was still missing one hundred and seventy-two fighters.

With more than 100 people, this number of missing people is not much, even less than when Niigata was airborne. But...... The story of dozens of sacrificial paratroopers being beheaded by Japanese civilians spread throughout the division during the running march, and the atmosphere in the ranks was not quite right.

Paratroopers who lose their composure, go to the battlefield with emotions, this is not a good sign. There is no political commissar in the Guards, and there is no chief of staff at the battalion level. Ning Shuxin summoned three company commanders in the team, "The Japanese are not people, and when they invade others, they are a group of devils. We have come to the devil's hometown, we are fighting against the devil, and the sacrifice of our comrades will inspire us to fight more bravely, killing the devil is to avenge our comrades and occupy Tokyo, so that we can take our comrades home! ”

Soon, "Kill the devil and avenge your comrades; Occupy Tokyo, take your comrades-in-arms home" slogan soon spread throughout the battalion, regiment, and division. The frustration of the soldiers was relieved, and the will to fight was even higher.

Senior Colonel Cheng Tianhan was also worried about the "beheaded" incident, which caused a decline in morale, and when the slogan of "killing the devil ......" sounded from time to time in the ranks, he was deeply proud of his soldiers when he saw the youthful and passionate faces full of fighting spirit.

Because of the haste of the operation, there were still big mistakes in the operation, the 8th Division was lowered to the right bank of the Tama River, most of the warrior tanks were lowered to the river, and the bridges on the Tama River were all blown up in the previous air force bombardment, and they were looking for tools to cross the river. Division Commander Cheng looked at his watch, "Don't wait, in the intelligence, there is only one second-line wing of the Japanese army stationed at the airport, I still don't believe it, even if it is an offensive battle, our 9th Division can't capture the second-line troops of a devil?" ”

Haneda Airport is located on the island of Rikuren at the mouth of the Tama River, the Rikuren dam connecting the land is 500 meters long, but only a dozen meters wide, the Japanese army has built a number of checkpoints and fortifications on the dam, and there are several machine gun bunkers. When the airborne was previously parachuted, the sky was covered by parachutes, and the guards at the airport had already been notified and were ready for battle. The garrison in Tokyo also urgently dispatched one of the three remaining divisions to reinforce it.

Cheng Tianhan held a telescope and looked behind the bunker for a long time, "This battle is not easy to fight, if we can't quickly capture the airport, we will be attacked from both sides by devils." If only the 8th Division were there! ”

"Division commander, the bridges on the Tama River have been blown up, and the reinforcing devils have to find a boat now, and the 8th Division is also over there, if the 8th Division can attack the Japanese reinforcement division halfway......" Ning Shuxin, who happened to be lying next to the division commander, knew that this overstepping report was a big taboo, but he couldn't care about it at this critical juncture.

Cheng Tianhan was surprised, "You kid is the battalion commander who made up that slogan just now, right?" ”

Ning Shuxin just wanted to answer, but Master Cheng waved his hand, "Okay!" You kid is talented, able to write and martial arts, and when you put it in the ancient Han Dynasty, you might be a Weiqing-style character! You have a credit for this today! Seeing that Lu Lianba is not, you can come up with a way for Lao Tzu to take down this embankment, and I will ask you to be my deputy chief of staff, and after this battle, I will find Commander Jiang to promote you. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to be promoted, division commander, you give me a regiment, and I promise to take it for you!" Major Ning had been lying on the ground and observing for a long time, and he really had an attack in his heart.

Seeing Ning Shuxin's self-confidence, Cheng Tianhan was happy, it seems that his subordinates are really capable. "Boy, I'm optimistic about you! I'll give you a regiment today, and let you command your regiment commander! However, don't worry, don't come if you can't call! As long as you kid said, the 8th Division can block the devil's reinforcements on the other side of the river, and we have time to clean up the devils here. Moreover, the 7 Division is already on the way. "The 7th Division, that is, the Army Aviation Division, the 7th Guards Division, equipped with powerful Haidongqing helicopter gunships, also set off from Aizu Wakamatsu after the departure of the 8th and 9th Divisions in the airborne. Due to the small fuel capacity of the helicopters and the short range, the Haidongqing had to first capture Furukawa City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and then wait for the air force to drop fuel, and they were joined by a steppe wolf commando carried by 24 kangaroo transport helicopters. In order to defeat the arrogance of the Japanese army's mountain troops, Jiang Yunzhi simply sent a transport plane to take over the grassland commandos from Taiwan. However, then the Aizu Wakamatsu Annihilation War began, the Japanese army gradually shrank the defensive line, and the mountain troops were no longer easily dispatched, which made the steppe wolves very unhappy.

It just so happened that this time the army aviation division attacked, and it was necessary to conquer the small city as a transit station on the way, and the steppe wolf commando took the initiative to ask for help, and Commander Jiang thought about it for a while, this kind of air raid behind enemy lines is the best game of the steppe wolves, and the carrying capacity of large transport helicopters is also limited, and the steppe wolves of more than 300 people are more suitable to attack.

Furukawa City is located in the center of the Great Plains of the Kanto region, with a population of more than 100,000 people, and it is here that Furukawa Electric, who became famous for his life, was found. The entire line of communication on the Kanto Plain was bombed, and Furukawa was no exception, and the town was in ruins as far as the eye could see from a helicopter. The war caused many residents of the city to flee, and it was unusually quiet in the early morning sun.

The steppe wolf landed directly outside the city, and dozens of Haidongqing flew flat at the treetop height to cover it. The appearance of the guards broke the calm of the town, and countless Japanese suddenly poured out of the houses like maggots, holding kitchen knives and even iron spoons in their hands, and shouting fanatical slogans in their mouths. The commandos armed to the teeth were almost stupid, and if there were elite Japanese troops on the opposite side, or even Douding tank armored vehicles, they would not be so surprised, but ...... Isn't this just a civilian? Where did the army of devils go? Did the Imperial Army change its name to the Locust Army?

On the contrary, the helicopter pilots of the land pilots above their heads have become accustomed to the madness of the Japanese, and since the little Japanese are destroying themselves, they will be fulfilled. The thumb of the right hand holding the control stick pressed hard, and the six coaxial machine guns under the head of the Haidongqing gun began to rotate rapidly, and in the violent tearing of the metal storm, Japanese men, women, old people, and children ...... There is no difference between all human beings, on the streets, next to houses, minced meat, minced meat, minced ......

Such a scene did not make the commandos vomit like ordinary soldiers, and they had seen more brutal scenes than this during training. "But these are living people?" A steppe wolf warrior murmured softly, "Is this still war?" Isn't this a massacre? ”

"Nonsense, the Japanese are not people, they are just a group of lowly creatures, just like rabbits on the western prairie, if you raise too much, it will become a disaster!" Of course, such a analogy can only be imagined by their captain, the mysterious man codenamed Steppe Wolf.

The other commandos tried to watch for a long time, but they couldn't connect the hellish misery in front of them with the rabbits on the native grassland, but the captain never missed it, the rabbit is the rabbit. The steppe wolves raised the assault rifles in their hands, the machine guns of the fire team were also quietly set up, and under the gesture of the captain, the team members formed several tactical groups and rushed forward separately...... Or rather, Tu Jin.

There is no difficulty in capturing the target area, just shoot all the way with the gun, and the only wounded person appears in a way that makes people laugh and cry: a little girl huddles in the corner, the team member hesitates with the gun, then slowly lowers the muzzle of the gun, and walks over. The little girl was even more frightened, and shrunk into a small ball. The commando walked over to her and gently picked her up, he knew that if he didn't move her to a safe place, the other team members and the Hai Dongqing in the air might not let her go. But as soon as he picked it up, he felt a pain on his face, but fortunately he subconsciously tilted his head, otherwise the awl in the little girl's hand would definitely pierce his eyes. The awl was pierced in the neck, but fortunately the artery was not injured, and it was not affected to continue the fight by finding a hygienist to deal with it briefly.

To everyone's surprise, the team member sent the little girl to their landing site amid the ridicule of his comrades, and entrusted a kangaroo pilot to take care of her. When he came back, no one laughed at him anymore, and the wolves in the same group just patted him on the shoulder, but their captain steppe wolf said softly: "Gray wolf, you will lead to early retirement like this?" ”

The gray wolf nodded, "Captain, after this battle, I will apply to be transferred to other troops, I ...... I want to raise her! ”
