"Damn it, attack the airport immediately, we've been discovered!"
Seeing the plane flying overhead, Lu Ming secretly said something bad, and then ordered his troops to immediately attack the airport.
After discovering the second column, the pilot did not continue to land at the airport. Instead, he circled directly and bombed the second column.
Although artillery shells were falling overhead at this time, the soldiers in the second column ignored them and rushed straight towards the airport.
After hearing the explosion, the enemy troops responsible for guarding the airport realized that someone was attacking, and then began to organize defense.
Just as they were preparing, news came from the pilot that the People's Liberation Army was found outside the airport, with about 30,000 troops.
After hearing about the strength of the People's Liberation Army, the airport guards quickly built defensive positions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
After several rounds of bombing by enemy aircraft, the second column suffered a lot of casualties.
Because they were not in a trench at this time, and there were no shell holes for them to take shelter.
Everyone in the second column was rushing towards the airport as fast as possible, trying to annihilate the enemy before they were ready.
After all the ammunition was dropped, the enemy aircraft in the sky had no effect.
At this time, the Second Column was attacking the airport, and they did not dare to return to the airport to land.
Even providing the airport defenders with news about the second column from the air was impossible because they were running out of fuel.
He had no choice but to report to the old fox and then flew towards the south.
Seeing the enemy planes flying away from the airport, Lu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then commanded his troops to attack the enemy forces at the airport.
Relying on the absolute strength advantage and artillery suppression, the second column's attack was particularly smooth, and they quickly reached the airport.
But just as they were about to launch an attack on the airport, the enemy's last line of defense, suddenly a plane streaked across the sky and left.
For some reason, when Lu Ming saw the plane leaving the airport, he felt that he had missed something important.
On Li Qiufan's side, after the first column completely took control of Ximen, he ordered the third column to be transferred in.
Because we will face the enemy's crazy counterattack next, and relying on the strength of a column to defend will be very stressful.
Now that there is no danger outside the city, the heavy artillery division's own defense force is sufficient. The third column just happened to be transferred into the city to resist the pressure together with the first column.
When the third column had just entered the west gate, the enemy's supporting troops were also in place. Dang even launched an attack on the first column's defense line in an attempt to recapture the west gate position.
Of course, Li Qiufan would not do what the enemy wanted. He immediately ordered the first column to counterattack, and at the same time ordered the three columns to quickly enter the position to supplement the defense.
"Report the enemy's coordinates to the heavy artillery division and ask them to provide artillery support immediately!"
The enemy's offensive mood was particularly high, because the west gate was opened, which meant that the entire city of Xi'an would be captured.
Seeing the intensity of the enemy's attack, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to provide the heavy artillery division with the enemy's location coordinates so that it could suppress the enemy with artillery fire.
As the heavy artillery division opened fire, the enemy's fierce attack finally paused for a moment, which made the soldiers of the two columns heave a sigh of relief.
"The enemy troops in Xi'an City are now like anxious rabbits, and they are starting to bite!"
Seeing the fighting power bursting out from the enemy army, the boss sighed with emotion to Li Qiufan beside him.
"No matter how ferocious a rabbit is, it's still a rabbit. If he dares to bite someone, break out all his teeth!"
Although Li Qiufan was a little surprised by the enemy's fighting power, he didn't take it too seriously.
Because after the Four Columns arrive, even if they evolve from rabbits to wolves, Li Qiufan can put them in a cage.
"By the way, what's going on at the airport? Has the second column captured the airport?"
As he spoke, Li Qiufan looked at the correspondent beside him and asked him about the situation at the Second Column.
"The Second Column has not responded to the message yet."
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, the correspondent shook his head and said.
"Send another telegram to the Second Column and ask them to reply as soon as possible!"
When Li Qiufan heard that Er Zong did not reply to the message, he immediately frowned and said to the correspondent.
When Li Qiufan asked his correspondent to send a telegram to the Second Column, it happened that the Second Column was being bombed by enemy aircraft, so he did not reply to it.
After receiving another telegram from Li Qiufan, when the Second Column had just captured the airport, Lu Ming immediately replied to the telegram.
"Commander, the Second Column replied that the airport has been captured!"
After receiving the reply from the Second Column, the correspondent quickly reported to Li Qiufan.
"Great, now the old fox can't run away!"
Li Qiufan said excitedly after hearing that the Second Column had captured the airport.
"The cunning rabbit still has three burrows. This old fox is not so easy to catch!"
Compared to Li Qiufan's excitement, the boss frowned. He didn't believe that the old fox would leave no way out for him.
"Continue to send telegrams to the fourth column and ask them about the situation there!"
Li Qiufan nodded in agreement after hearing the boss's words. No one could be sure until the last moment, and then asked the correspondent to send another telegram to the fourth column.
If you want to avoid accidents, you can only settle everything as soon as possible.
At this time, about an hour had passed since the last telegram was sent, and the enemy troops at the south gate had been almost exhausted by the four columns.
"Don't reply yet, wait for me for ten more minutes, and break through the south gate in ten minutes!"
After hearing from the correspondent that Li Qiufan had sent another telegram to inquire about the situation, Li Xiping asked the correspondent to reply later because he wanted to take down the South Gate in one go.
"Let the artillery brigade suppress the enemy for me and cover the charge of the commandos. This attack must capture the south gate!"
Li Xiping issued a death order, and he must capture the south gate this time no matter what, because there was only half an hour left before the agreed time.
After receiving Li Xiping's order, the artillery brigade belonging to the fourth column began to bombard the enemy's positions, and the frequency was slightly faster than before.
At the same time as the bombardment started, the already organized commandos also began to charge towards the city wall.
Now that the enemy's troops have been exhausted, and coupled with the crazy fire suppression of the artillery brigade, this time the commando successfully climbed onto the city wall through the ladder.
After seeing the commandos on the wall, Li Xiping ordered the artillery brigade to stop the bombardment, and then asked other troops to follow up.
As for why they didn't enter the city by blasting the city gate, it was because the city gate had been blocked by the enemy with sand.
With the commando team restrained on the city wall, the follow-up troops quickly climbed onto the city wall, and it didn't take long to completely annihilate the south gate defenders.
"Reply the telegram to the commander and say that the south gate has been captured!"
Seeing the cheering soldiers on the city wall, Li Xiping smiled and said to the correspondent beside him.
