At one o'clock in the morning, Xincheng Airport in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan was bathed in silence.

In the dark, Lu Yingjun took Duan Peng to lurk on the top of a chimney more than 20 meters high.

Judging from the surrounding environment, this chimney should belong to the exhaust chimney of the ash factory, but this factory has long been abandoned.

It is only more than 300 meters away from the wall of Xincheng Airport, and you can clearly see the environment of Xincheng Airport by lying on the top of the chimney and holding a telescope.

Lu Yingjun and Duan Peng were lying on the chimney, holding binoculars and observing, and not far away, there were members of the first combat team ready to answer at any time.

The reason why he took Duan Peng with him was because Lu Yingjun intended to cultivate him, compared to the brave and ruthless Wei monk with a good personality.

Duan Peng's personality is modest, upright and resolute and brave, of course, the two have similarities in their personalities, they are both a little arrogant and unsociable.

However, this is not a problem for special forces, and special forces are not five good soldiers, so they are not afraid that you have shortcomings, but they are afraid that you are not capable.

Lu Yingjun and Duan Peng each held a telescope to monitor the devil's every move.

The entire airport runs east-west, with a total of two runways with a runway length of about 1,000 meters, and 15 aircraft are parked on the secondary runway.

Judging by the size of the aircraft, most of them were fighters, and there were only a few bombers of two or three.

A total of 8 planes were shot down by the machine gun group of the new regiment, and the number of devil planes was seriously insufficient, so Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the planes of Changzhi and Datong to be transferred to Taiyuan.

At the end of the day, Japan is a small, resource-poor country, and only front-line offensive units are heavily equipped with aircraft.

A garrison like the First Army, fighting law and order warfare in the occupied areas, has only one flying squadron of 21 planes.

However, even if the number of planes of the First Army was small, it was difficult for the backward Eighth Route Army to deal with them in the face of planes flying indiscriminately in the sky.

Even if it is a new regiment equipped with 40 machine gun anti-aircraft guns, the devil plane does not take the initiative to dive and attack, and there is nothing to do with it.

Therefore, it is of great significance to blow up the devil's airfield, as long as the devil's plane is killed and the airfield is blown up, the Japanese First Army will lose its aerial reconnaissance capability in a short time.

Although the Japanese North China Front still has planes, it needs to take into account reconnaissance of such a vast battlefield, and the devil planes will definitely not be busy.

On the north side of the runway is a row of bungalows, presumably oil depots, repair shops, and arsenals.

In the southeast corner of the airport are the control tower, garrison and pilot quarters, several rows of third-floor brick and concrete buildings, and next to them are facilities such as canteens, kitchens and toilets.

The airport is surrounded by an enclosed fence topped with barbed wire.

There was a sentry tower on each corner of the wall, on which in addition to the devil sentries there were searchlights turning around.

At the end of the runway, eight Type 98 twin-mounted machine guns stood there quietly, and there were devils on duty at the machine gun position.

The entire airport is heavily guarded, and every two or three minutes there are devil teams patrolling along the runway.

At this time, the radio communication machine beside Lu Yingjun sounded a sizzling electric current.

The corners of Lu Yingjun's mouth immediately bloomed with a cold murderous intent.

Dong San lifted the radio silence, and it must have been that the mountain artillery battalion had arrived at the Dongshan mine and was ready.

"Dong Liang, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it!" As expected, a moment later, Wang Chengzhu's call came from the radio receiver.

Lu Yingjun picked up the microphone of the radio communication machine and said in a low voice: "Dong Liang received!" ”

"Holes, holes, holes, two." Wang Chengzhu said again, "Please immediately convey the shooting parameters." ”

Lu Yingjun said: "The ruler is four hundred and seventy-four, and the right is zero fifty-one." ”

He had already calculated the firing parameters for shooting at the devil's airfield with mountain guns from the Dongshan mine through the artillery mirror.

Then he said: "One test shot, let's go!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Yingjun hurriedly took the earpiece and microphone, and his eyes came to the artillery mirror, ready to observe the impact point at any time.

About ten seconds later, Lu Yingjun and Duan Peng both heard a long "squeak" sound above their heads, and the scream sounded from far and near, falling 200 meters away from the airport and exploding.

Seeing the location of the impact point clearly through the artillery mirror, Lu Yingjun immediately put the microphone to his mouth and said: "Add one to the ruler, zero zero two to the left, put it!" ”

After another dozen seconds, a shell fell in the devil's airport with a whistling sound, and landed right in the middle of the two devil planes at the airport, and the two devil planes were blown up.

"The whole battalion, three rapid fires... Put! ”

On the last word "put", Lu Yingjun bit a little hard, and his body trembled slightly, almost crying out.

Immediately afterwards, on the new artillery position of the Dongshan Mine, Wang Chengzhu also issued an order for the whole battalion to open fire.

The whistling sound of the cannonballs tore through the quiet air in an instant, and Duan Peng and Lu Yingjun looked up, and more than a dozen cannonballs formed more than a dozen orange-red ballistics in the night sky, like dazzling streamers.

The shells fell into the airport and exploded, accompanied by a loud thunderous sound, and the Xincheng Airport was immediately plunged into a sea of smoke and fire.

Death-scented metal projectiles pierced the air with a terrifying whistling sound.

In Lu Yingjun and Duan Peng's field of vision, the devil planes on the runway were like paper paste, all torn to shreds.

In fact, when the first shell fell, the garrison and pilots at the airport were all awakened, but the first shell fell outside the airport, and the devils were still in a state of confusion.

When the second shell fell into the airfield, the devil garrison and the pilots woke up from a dream, and the airfield was shelled!

Before he had time to get dressed, the devil pilot immediately rushed to the runway, trying to get the plane up and off again.

However, it was too late.

Swarms of shells landed on the runway, blowing the shells to shreds and tearing the plane to shreds.

After the three rounds of shelling, although the runway of the devils was not completely blown up, it was impossible for the planes to take off and land on the runway.

And all 15 planes of the devil have been destroyed, and a raging fire has ignited.

But the shelling was not over yet, and under Lu Yingjun's radio command, the shells formed a barrage of Xu Jin, which blew up from the oil depot and arsenal on the north side to the devil's dormitory on the south side.

The shells of the mountain artillery battalion were smashed into the devil's airfield one after another.

The explosion of aviation fuel stored in the oil depot and the explosion of aerial bombs in the munitions depot was as loud as shaking the mountains.

The devil garrison and pilots who rushed out of the dormitory just happened to meet Xu Jin's barrage, and they were blown up in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the devil's airport was in a sea of fire in the field of vision of the telescope, Lu Yingjun and Duan Peng both grinned.

"Cave three and hole three, the mushrooms have been picked, and the hole two is ready to go home."

Lu Yingjun picked up the microphone and called.

"Dong San received, good luck."

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu asked on the radio: "Boss Li asked you how many mushrooms you picked this time, and he asked for them all." ”

"Then please tell Boss Li that I picked 15 mushrooms, all of which are good mountain goods."

After Lu Yingjun finished speaking, he put away the headphones and earpiece, turned it off, put the radio communication machine on his back, grabbed the rope and slid down the chimney, and it didn't take long for the two of them to disappear into the night.

……

Yoshio Shinozuka was awakened by the sound of cannons.

He had just fallen asleep for less than half an hour.

Since the launch of the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Shinozuka has slept late every day, and only four or five hours a day.

This is a serious lack of sleep for an old man in his fifties and sixties.

Although his body is very tired, Yoshio Shinozuka has to pretend to be energetic every day, so that others can't see his tiredness.

"Baga, where are you firing the cannon?"

Yoshio Shinozuka wore a lieutenant general's uniform and carried a lieutenant general's command knife, and walked into the brightly lit battle hall with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi turned around and paused, "The sound of artillery is coming from the direction of the northern suburbs airport. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's brows almost furrowed into a Sichuan character: "Call the airport immediately and ask what happened, why is there a cannon sound?" ”

Kusuyama Hideyoshi said: "I have asked Kasai-kun to call and inquire, there should be news soon!" ”

By this time, the second test fire had already been fired, and the second shell had already landed in the airfield.

But soon, the rumbling and continuous sound of artillery sounded in the ears of Yoshio Shinozuka, Hideyoshi Kusuyama, and a group of devil officers and staff officers.

The faces of the devil officers changed greatly.

Running to the gate of the war hall, they all raised their heads to look at the night sky in the direction of the airport, only to see that the night sky was shining like crimson lightning, and then there was a rumbling explosion.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.

The old devil has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his judgment is still there, judging from the sound of the cannonball, the artillery fire of the Eighth Road is very fierce, and he is afraid that it is no less than an artillery battalion.

How many troops are coming from the Eighth Road?

Is the Eighth Road bluffing or is it going to attack Taiyuan?

Toshimatsu Kasai ran up to Yoshio Shinozuka and paused, "Report to the general!" The new city airport was shelled, and communication with the airport is currently interrupted! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka asked in a deep voice, "Have other places been attacked by the Eight Ways?" ”

Kasai Toshimatsu said, "The Communications Staff has not received any news or reports in this regard at present!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander." "This is most likely an enemy artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army's airfield, and we should immediately send troops to find the enemy's artillery position." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and returned to the battle hall, standing in front of the wall where a large accurate map was hung, and a group of devils hurriedly gathered over.

Yoshio Shinozuka pointed to the map and said: "According to the intelligence, the caliber of the artillery with the maximum power and range of the Eighth Road is 75 mm mountain artillery, and the maximum range of this caliber artillery is only 8 kilometers. ”

"Order, Yamamoto's special team will attack immediately, find the artillery and artillery of the enemy's eight routes, and destroy them for me!"

"Hey!" Toshitoshi Kasai paused, then walked briskly to the communication room next door.

……

At the Dongshan Mine, Wang Chengzhu turned off the radio intercom and turned around to report to Li Yunlong.

"Report to the head of the group, Captain Lu said that he picked 15 mushrooms."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately couldn't help but smile:

"15 mushrooms, that is to say, 15 devil planes have been blown up, my God, our Lao Li is going to get rich!"

"What fortune?" Kong Jie couldn't help but say: "You killed 15 devil planes, I don't know, I thought you kid got 15 planes." ”

Ding Wei looked moved and asked, "Lao Li, is it possible that if you kill the devil plane, you will be able to get assistance from your channel?" ”

"That's right." Li Yunlong nodded, with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum, "Kill 1 devil plane, you two guess how many mountain cannons our old Li can get?" ”

"How many?" Kong Jie hurriedly asked.
