Chapter 697: A Small Fortune!
The devil pilots showed the spirit of seeing death as if they were at home, and rushed towards the plane that had not yet been bombed.
In the first and second rounds of shelling, the Devil pilots were killed and wounded.
Each round of shelling has a certain interval of time, and as long as the devil pilot is alive and ordered to run to the periphery of the airport, there is a high probability that he will survive.
However, the devils did not flinch and rushed towards the plane one after another, trying to drive the plane into the sky.
Then find the enemy artillery positions and wipe them out with aerial bombs.
I have to say that the devil pilots think beautifully, but the reality is cruel.
Woohoo!
Another round of shells, visible to the naked eye from the sky, fell at high speed like a comet, falling into the middle of the airplanes at the airport and on the runway around it.
Although it was not accurate shooting, the more than 30 planes of the devil were parked on the secondary runway with such a swagger, and they were lined up in two rows.
For such a large target, there is no need to shoot accurately at all, just fire at that area.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom......
The earth is trembling, the airport is trembling!
The entire airport seemed to be spinning in the sky, and the dozen or so pilots who rushed towards the devil's plane were either swept away by the sweeping air waves, or they were directly torn to pieces by the detonating aerial bombs.
The power of 75-mm high-explosive shells is average, but there is no problem in destroying the planes of the devils.
However, compared with an artillery regiment, the number of 8 mountain guns is still a little less, and long-range rapid shelling will inevitably lead to fish that slip through the net.
But the devil's plane has aerial bombs in it, and then the situation becomes different.
The 1,000-kilogram aerial bomb exploded, instantly tearing the bomber and the surrounding aircraft to pieces.
Then it triggered a series of bombings, and before the shelling was over, more than 30 planes were destroyed like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
There were even devil trucks loaded with aerial bombs and fuel that were hit by shells, making a landslide-like explosion.
In just five minutes, half of Wusu Airport was plunged into a sea of fire.
Because the devils were shrewd and did not set up aerial bombs and oil depots at the airport, this wave of shelling did not blow up the devils' aerial bombs and oil depots.
However, in addition to the three transport planes, the other 33 planes were all destroyed by the bombs in the shelling.
Even the pilots and ground crews of the devils were killed in a number of explosions.
The entire airfield was cratered with shells, and even if there were still 3 Devil's transport planes that were not destroyed, they could no longer take off.
Although propeller aircraft do not have very high requirements for take-off conditions, they must be flat to take off.
It wasn't until the end of the shelling that the devils who protected the airport came to their senses, and the captain of the devil brigade responsible for defending the airport began to gather troops, spread the alert, and rescue the planes.
At the same time, the captain of the devil brigade personally assembled two squadrons and pursued them in the general direction of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army.
The Taiyuan garrison also dispatched a brigade to reinforce in the direction of the airport.
"To the northeast of the airport, the distance is about 6 to 8 kilometers."
In the speeding Type 94 truck, although Kazuki Yamamoto had not yet arrived at the airport, he had already roughly determined the location of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army according to the trajectory of the shells.
However, due to the woods and a hill in the middle, Yamamoto Kazuki could not judge the exact location of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, and could only estimate the approximate location.
Oshika Goro then picked up the receiver and microphone of the radio station and began to call the Tanaka Brigade, which was responsible for defending the airfield, and informed the location of the enemy's artillery positions.
At the same time, the airport was ordered to notify the city of a total martial law around Taiyuan.
Kazuki Yamamoto drove the truck, approaching the airport, and his face became extremely ugly as he watched the airport fall into a sea of fire.
Looking at this situation, the planes of the 17th Flying Regiment, which had just arrived in Taiyuan, were afraid that the entire army would be wiped out.
Instead of driving the truck into the airport, Yamamoto drove the truck in a circle from the side of the airport and came in the direction of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army.
It's just that the location of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army was personally selected by Duan Peng.
The devil's truck certainly couldn't go there, and it had to pass through a forest and a rugged mountain road.
Wang Xikui had already ordered the members of the Sword Squadron to lay mines in the woods and on the mountain roads.
It had been more than an hour since the devils and Yamamoto's special team, who were in charge of guarding the airport, waded through the mines in the woods and mountain roads and came to the location of the Eighth Route Army's Wujin Mountain artillery position.
This is still the result of the devils desperately rushing to the artillery position.
β¦β¦
At the same time.
Northwest of the artillery position of Mount Ugin, about 8 km away.
The Sword Squadron rode up to the 1st Battalion of Artillery and Cavalry.
learned on the walkie-talkie that Wang Xikui had successfully received Duan Peng, so Wang Chengzhu and Cao Jiang retreated first with artillery and cavalry.
In line with the principle of not wasting it, Wang Chengzhu ordered the mountain cannon to be dismantled and taken away, and even the shell shells and shell boxes were taken away, and not even a single hair was left for the devil.
Although the rate of fire of this mountain gun is 5 rounds per minute, in the case of rapid fire, it reaches 8 rounds per minute.
The rapid fire of 40 shells per cannon does not make the barrel scrapped, but the barrel of the cannon will wear out badly, and the service life will be reduced later.
However, there were many spare barrels, and the cannon was damaged, and Boss Chen reimbursed him, so Wang Chengzhu did not feel distressed at all and used rapid fire.
After shooting all the shells, he slipped away, and the main thing was to move quickly.
Seeing Duan Peng riding his horse to catch up, Wang Chengzhu turned his head and asked, "Captain Duan, you guys are 4 minutes ahead of the scheduled early retreat time, and you confirm that all the devil planes have been blown up?" β
Due to the fact that there is a forest and a hill between Ugin Mountain and the Wusu airfield, the airfield is not visible from the artillery position.
Only the squadron of swords could be used as the eyes of the artillerymen, guiding the firing of the artillery.
Duan Peng's original plan was to wait until the shelling was over before retreating.
After only a minute of shelling, Duan Peng led people to withdraw, did he kill all the devil's planes? Is it so fast?
"Pretty much." The corners of Duan Peng's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded, "When the cannon was fired, most of the devil's planes were hung with aerial bombs, and our shells hit the devil's fighters and bombers carrying aerial bombs. β
"Oh?" Wang Chengzhu and Camp Commander Cao on the side both had their eyes lit up slightly.
"And this kind of good thing?" The corners of Wang Chengzhu's mouth were high.
"It's a god assist!"
Cao Jiang was also in a happy mood, he didn't expect that the devil plane was about to go on a mission just after it arrived, and this time it was really a coincidence.
Shelling an aircraft loaded with aerial bombs is tantamount to throwing a detonator into a pile of explosives.
Cao Jiang's eyes glanced at the upper barrel of a Type 92 heavy machine gun on horseback behind Duan Peng: "Captain Duan, have you also captured it?" β
"Hey!" Duan Peng said, "One 92-style, one 96-style, eight 38-style, the equipment of the little devil, it's a pity to lose it, take it back to the militia troops." β
"Not bad! Not bad! I also made a small fortune! Wang Chengzhu praised.
"It's just a small fortune." Duan Peng laughed, "Boss Chen's business is a big fortune. β
Wang Chengzhu came from a bitter day, when there were only a few mortars in the new regiment and less than 100 shells.
Although the present life is rich, we must not forget the hard days, and we must not give up any opportunity to make a fortune, even if it is a small fortune.
"There are no casualties in your sword squadron, right?" Cao Jiang looked at Duan Peng and asked.
Duan Peng roared: "Our sword squadron shot, how can there be casualties?" β
Cao Jiang suddenly laughed and said, "Haha! This time, we can be regarded as successfully completing the task with zero casualties, and the credit is in hand. β
The success of this mission was somewhat beyond his expectations, and the 1st Cavalry Battalion was equivalent to riding a horse to go around the vicinity of Taiyuan, and the credit would be in his hands.
This is inseparable from Duan Peng's reasonable command, of course, the most important thing is Boss Chen's intelligence, as well as the careful planning of the regiment commander and political commissar.
"Haha!" Duan Peng laughed out loud and said loudly, "Withdraw!" β
"Drive-"
Everyone urged the Oriental military horses under their crotches, quickly caught up with the cavalry force, and walked along the horse road in the direction of the northwest of Jin.
The horse's hooves rolled like thunder, and it didn't take long for it to disappear from the road, leaving only the cold wind from the northwest blowing.
β¦β¦
Ugin Mountain.
Eighth Route Army artillery position.
"Yaga..."
Looking at the empty and empty artillery position, the captain of the brigade in charge of guarding the Takejuku Airport, Nobuzo Tanaka, almost had his nose crooked, drew his katana and slashed wildly, and lost his temper.
After the impotent rage, Tanaka Shinzo walked up to Yamamoto Kazuki, bowed his head and said:
"Major General Yamamoto, the enemy has fled to the northwest, is it in pursuit?"
Kazuki Yamamoto looked at Nobuzo Tanaka as if he were looking at a fool.
Pursuit?
According to the reconnaissance of the special agents, the enemy has the strength of a cavalry regiment, and this amount of strength dares to pursue it, but can it be found dead?
How powerful the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Eighth Route New Regiment is, Yamamoto Kazuki knows very well.
Don't look at the Eighth Route There is only one cavalry regiment, at least a cavalry wing of the 1st Cavalry Brigade can be dealt with by the Japanese army.
But now the 1st Cavalry Brigade was dispatched to chase the Eighth Route Cavalry, which was obviously too late, and it was easy to be ambushed.
At this moment, a member of the special forces ran up to Kazuki Yamamoto and gave a military salute:
"Report, some caves have been found over there, and there are mines at the entrance of the caves, but they have been demolished."
Before leaving, Cao Jiang ordered the cavalry to make a few tricks at the entrance of the cave, but due to unprofessional methods, they were discovered and dismantled by the devil agents.
Yamamoto's expression moved: "Open the way." β
Led by the secret service members, Kazuki Yamamoto and Nobuzo Tanaka walked towards the cave.
The location of the cave is relatively hidden, Yamamoto and others entered the cave to observe, the cave has traces of excavation, it is not a long time, Yamamoto quickly understood what is going on.
This was a long-planned artillery bombardment, in which the enemy hid mountain guns and shells in caves in advance, and then pulled them out and opened fire when the planes arrived.
The location here is about 7 kilometers away from Takejuku Airport in a straight line, and there is an obstacle in the middle to see the airport.
Well, there must be artillery observers on the 8th Road who are directing the shelling near the airfield.
Within 3 kilometers of the airport, all of them are permanent fortifications, how did the Eighth Road penetrate into the vicinity of the airport?
Kazuki Yamamoto fell into deep thought.
β¦β¦
At the same time.
Taiyuan.
Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.
Deputy Chief of Staff Masao Miyazaki cautiously reported to Yoshio Iwamatsu:
"Your Excellency, I have just received news from the airfield that all the bombers, fighters, and reconnaissance planes of the 17th Flying Regiment have been destroyed."
"The commander of the 17th Flying Regiment, Mitsutake Hosono and Satama Shatter."
"The casualties of pilots and crew members are being counted."
When Iwamatsu Yoshio heard the news, he was stunned for two minutes without saying a word, and his face became extremely gloomy and ugly.
Seeing that His Excellency the Commander was silent, Masao Miyazaki said again:
"In addition, according to information from the military station, about 20 minutes before the start of the shelling, more than a dozen special agents traveled in a truck in the direction of Wusu airport."
"The garrison of the airport has received news that the locust army of a detachment in the No. 65 artillery tower, which is 3 kilometers away from Wusu Airport, has all been killed with bare hands."
Hearing this, Iwamatsu Yoshio suddenly raised his head with a fierce and cold expression.
Secret Service?
The locust army in a turret was all killed with bare hands?
Could it be ......
