World War II-era airports were not as regulated.

In particular, the Japanese economy is relatively backward.

The runway is not paved with reinforced concrete. Rather, it's a general hard surface. The surface is relatively flat.

If it's raining, the plane won't be able to go. Because the runway can get very muddy.

Fortunately, there is little rain in the north.

In fact, there were no all-weather aircraft at that time.

In the event of strong winds, rain, lightning and thunder, the planes were unable to dispatch. Not at night.

At night, the Japanese planes were on the tarmac.

The runway is empty for the time being. But now it has become a battlefield.

Gunfire was mixed.

It seems that there is fighting everywhere.

The Japanese invaders couldn't figure out what the dirt eight roads were going to do.

How does it seem like there is no purpose?

But it was some of the puppet soldiers who tried to kill them from the end of the runway. There are only a few fences over there.

Some of the puppet soldiers tried to run out from the side of the runway.

There are also some puppet troops, panicking in the night. It's actually running in the direction of the Japanese invaders.

It's no wonder that the Japanese are confused.

It's so disorganized.

But the Japanese did not dare to be careless.

Who says there is no order?

Maybe it's the clever tactics of the dirt eight roads?

The weapon in the hand of Tubalu is not bad?

I feel that the firepower is more ferocious than the Type 38 rifle. There are also a lot of bullets.

So well equipped. It must be the elite of the Dirt Eight Road! Since it is an elite, how can it be disorganized?

As a result, many Japanese commanders were confused.

Misalignment.

Confused and confused.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Zhang Chu made a lap and passed through the middle of the runway.

The Japanese are on the other side of the runway, and there are two tarmacs. Each has more than thirty aircraft.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two drop boxes fall.

Inside were all Deshka heavy machine guns. Easy to move.

In such a flat place as the runway of the airport, it is simply too comfortable to drag a Deshka heavy machine gun with wheels.

The lethality of bullets is also extremely terrifying.

Not only can you hit people. You can also jerk off. Strafe the tarmac over there.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

Heavy machine gun sweep. Complete domination of the battlefield.

Whether it was a person or an airplane, all of them were blown up. Overwhelming.

"Yaga!"

"Kill them!"

"Quick!"

Keno Maruyama was furious.

These damn dirt roads are too arrogant.

Do you want to destroy all the planes?

Damn it!

However......

"Tubu!"

"Tubu!"

Heavy machine guns fired in this direction.

The Japanese who rushed forward were all dead. Beaten to pieces.

The runways are all very flat.

There is simply no place to hide.

To rush up is to die.

Almost none of the people who were hit were all corpses.

"Xu Zhou!"

"Here you go!"

Zhang Chu handed over the heavy machine gun to Xu Zhou. Put out the mortars yourself.

Bombing began on the tarmac of the Japanese invaders.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Shells are constantly exploding.

The planes were blown up one after another.

Keno Maruyama is simply going crazy.

The rest of the Japanese went crazy too.

They rushed up in a frenzy.

As a result, they were strafed by heavy machine guns. They were all killed.

"You recovered a Japanese plane......

"The estimated value of the recyclables is 5 million ......"

Information keeps coming.

It turns out. Bombarding the tarmac with mortars is simply too comfortable.

No more need to move.

Just keep putting in the shells.

From time to time, kick at the base of the mortar, slightly adjust the bearing.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The tarmac erupted in flames.

Every flash of fire means that a plane is blown up. The Japanese lost one more plane.

"It's over......"

"It's over......"

Keno Maruyama's heart is like ashes.

It didn't take any reinforcements from the dirt eight roads to arrive. This small strand of dirt alone destroyed all the planes.

This is the plane of the entire flight division!

All the planes of the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army are parked here!

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!"

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!"

Suddenly, a staff officer hurried in.

But it was Yoshio Shinozuka who called in person.

With such a big incident happening at the airport, it is impossible for Yoshio Shinozuka not to pay attention.

Saburo Saito, who received the news, was taken aback and hurriedly woke up the commander from the bed.

It's a big deal. Don't dare to delay for a minute.

"Yaga!"

Keno Maruyama was anxious and angry.

Yoshio Shinozuka called at this time, how did he answer?

But it's not okay not to answer.

I had to turn back stupidly.

Pick up the phone.

"Maruyama-kun......"

"The Fifth Flying Division is finished."

"Nani?"

"The plane was basically destroyed."

"Nani?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's heart sank to the bottom.

Although, before the call, he had a bad premonition. However, I never imagined that the loss would be so large.

All the planes were destroyed? Also air support later......

"Maruyama-kun......"

"I can only apologize with death. Good bye. ”

"Maruyama-kun......"

Yoshio Shinozuka was taken aback.

Damn it!

Keno Maruyama actually wants to commit suicide!

Is this still worth it?

It's over......

The losses of the flight division, it seems, are real.

But what could he do?

Send a brigade to the rescue?

What's the use?

It takes more than an hour to get from the city to the airport.

By the time I arrived at the airport, the dirt roads had already left. Only the corpses were collected. Or visit all over the place.

What's more, there are not many troops in Taiyuan City.

Full of play, that is, a wing.

If a brigade is transferred, it may not even be able to keep Taiyuan City.

The airfield was attacked, of course, ugly.

However, if Taiyuan City is lost, I am afraid it will be even more humiliating.

How to do it?

I had to put down the phone.

Powerless. We can only wait and see what happens.

It is estimated that Keno Maruyama will report to the Air Command. The Director of Aviation will step in......

"Nani?"

"Taiyuan airport was attacked?"

"The Fifth Flying Division is completely destroyed?"

"Yaga ......"

In the second half of the night, it is destined to be sleepless.

All the high-level radio stations of the Japanese invaders are crazy first telegrams.

The Japanese military top brass was shocked again!

An airfield was attacked!

The planes of the entire flight division regiment were destroyed!

Big deal!

It's worse than the total annihilation of a wing!

Even!

More serious than the destruction of an infantry division!

It is much less difficult to rebuild an infantry division than it is to rebuild an aviation division!

The key is the pilot!

Where to train more than two hundred pilots?

Annoying......

Even the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, who was far away in central China, received relevant information. He also got up from the bed in a hurry.

The 5th Flying Division suffered heavy losses! Or even the total annihilation!

This is not good news.

In fact, there has been no good news in North China lately.

It just happened that someone wanted to send him to replace Tada Jun as the commander of the North China Front.

To put it bluntly, it's to clean up the mess.

At first, Okamura Ninji didn't have any objections. After all, it's a promotion.

However, judging from the current situation, in this North China region, Tuba Road is really too active. Recently, the Japanese army has suffered successive losses. Now another airfield has been lost.

More than 100 planes were destroyed!

It is estimated that the base camp is going to be thunderous. I don't know how this will end.

There must have been one or two caesarean sections......

"Your Excellency the Commander......"

Suddenly, a staff officer quietly arrived. Looks weird.

Okamura Ninji waved his hand. Signal him to stabilize his emotions first.

The staff officer was silent for a moment before he whispered: "Your Excellency Keno Maruyama, the commander of the Fifth Flying Division, has broken ......."

Be quiet.

Okamura Ninji was speechless for a long time.

He could have predicted such an outcome. But when it becomes a reality......

After all, there are some rabbits and foxes who die.

Actually, it's not Keno Maruyama's fault.

It's not even Yoshio Shinozuka's fault.

They are all too few troops. There is no way to perfect the line of defense.

The huge city of Taiyuan was defended by only 3,000 soldiers. Where can you take care of the airport outside the city?

Of course, these words, he will not say.

He is now only the commander of the 11th Army. Not the commander of the North China Front.

Cleaning up the mess is Tada's business.

Or, it's Seishiro Itagaki's business.

Perhaps, General Nishio Shouzo, who has never been careful, should ask about the war this time, right?

A dignified general, living a stormy life every day, handed over all the war to Itagaki Seishiro. It turns out that Seishiro Itagaki can't figure it out.

But......

Keno Maruyama is actually a broken jade?

All right......

Crushed jade is more decent than disembowelment......

"Boom!"

The last plane was destroyed.

Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

Succeed with flying colors.

Perfect!

It's time to run away.

Oh no!

There are also conning towers, ammunition depots, and oil depots!

Wreck the plane. The Japanese will soon bring in a new batch of planes. However, by destroying the conning tower, ammunition depot, and fuel depot, this airfield will be abandoned.

There is no time for a year and a half, and I don't want to put it back into use.

So......

We have to keep fighting!

I'm tired today. See you tomorrow.
