Li Guoping, the team leader, followed the group. They searched in the direction of the plane's return. After traveling for about three kilometers, the sharp knife group discovered a Japanese guard post;
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not move the Japanese guard post, but returned to report to Li Guoping.
"Comrades, this must be the enemy's outer guard post. Since we are not yet sure how far away it is from here, we cannot move them yet. Once they change guard, we will be exposed!
I decided to continue infiltrating inside until I found a large number of enemy alert forces before taking action. Do you have anything to add? "
The others shook their heads to express no objection, and Li Guoping signaled in sign language to continue moving forward. They quickly bypassed the Japanese guard post and penetrated deeper into the Japanese army.
The further we go, the denser the Japs' guard posts become, and even patrols appear, which means we are getting closer to the Japs' airport.
After exploring for more than one kilometer, a Japanese defense line appeared. It was built along the road, trenches were dug, and there was barbed wire outside the trenches;
There is a temporary bunker built every few hundred meters, and the Japanese defense of the airport is very tight.
Once here, there was no way to infiltrate inside. Li Guoping found a high ground to observe with a telescope, and sure enough he found the Japanese airport. Because it was far away, he couldn't see it clearly, but he was sure it was an airport.
He took out the map he carried with him, marked the location and route on it, and then returned to the assembly area.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the last reconnaissance team returned to the assembly area. At least five reconnaissance teams discovered the location of the Japanese airport. Chu Xiong compared it on the map and found that the locations marked by them all pointed to one point!
"Comrades, we can confirm that the location of the Japs' airport is here. Based on the information everyone brought back, this is a field airport. There is at least one brigade of security troops on the periphery. A line of defense has also been built along the highway. It is at least more than 10 kilometers away from the airport. Three kilometers;
This has exceeded the effective striking distance of the Wei Shen Cannon. Although it can reach the airport at this distance, we only have 6 rockets left, which is only enough to fire a salvo. At such a long distance, the effect cannot be guaranteed.
This time we will change our approach and let the Japanese experience mobile warfare in special operations!
My combat strategy is..."
Following Chu Xiong's explanation, several commanders above the squad leader level gained a deep understanding of special operations!
The essence of special operations lies in the fact that soldiers have no constant momentum and water has no constant shape. They do not stick to the form of tactics.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Tigers began to move out. They first sent out more than a dozen teams to clear the Japanese security forces on the periphery as quickly as possible, and eliminated at least one small group of Japanese.
At 4:30 in the morning, two squadrons of Tigers interspersed more than 100 meters outside the Japanese defense line. The position they chose was exactly at the intersection where the Japanese entered the airport. This was the most heavily defended place by the Japanese.
Chu Xiong signaled the leader of the Second Squadron, He Gui, in sign language to proceed as planned. He Gui then led the Second Squadron to leave. Their task was to set up an ambush position a few hundred meters away and bury the eight five-kilogram bombs they brought over. Detonation method, prepare to give the devils a surprise.
At five o'clock in the morning, Chu Xiong estimated that He Gui and the others were ready, so he sent a squadron, Li Guoping's squad, to storm the Japanese bayonet. Chu Xiong led the other two squads to lurk on the spot carrying Wei Shen cannon and artillery shells.
The Japanese built a bunker on both sides of the road. Together with the Japanese in the trenches, there were two squads and three heavy machine guns. They were the key points of heavy defense. To draw the Japanese out, they naturally had to poke a hornet's nest!
The Tiger Squad is equipped with two Mulan cannons, which are used to poke hornet's nests. This is what Li Guoping is best at. He did this often when there was no food in Lijia Village.
The two Mulan artillery groups quietly moved eight or ninety meters away from the Japanese bunker. A few minutes later, they heard only two "chirps" and two rockets went straight towards the Japanese bunker.
"Boom! Boom!"
The two simple bunkers with masonry structures could not withstand the attack of 40mm rockets and were overturned directly. A detachment of Japanese soldiers hiding inside were blown up along with two heavy machine guns.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The Japanese's reaction was also very fast. In less than two minutes, the machine guns in the Japanese trenches rang out. It didn't matter whether they hit or not. The purpose was to block the intersection and prevent the sneak attackers from approaching the defense line.
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
Two more rockets flew towards the enemy's machine gun firepower point...
"boom!"
"boom!"
Hua Mulan's rocket launcher stopped the enemy's machine gun firepower accurately at a distance of dozens of meters, and knocked down two more machine guns.
"beat!"
Li Guoping issued the attack order, and more than a dozen submachine guns fired wildly at the Japs. Without heavy firepower to suppress the Japs, the Japs were suppressed by Li Guoping's team.
"withdraw!"
Li Guoping's team only fired three bursts, and retreated dozens of meters before the Japanese could react. Special forces are not used to attack tough targets.
As soon as the firepower on Li Guoping's side stopped, the Japanese began to raise their heads, and the two sides started shooting at each other from a distance of more than 150 meters.
At this distance, when the sky is still dark at 5 o'clock in the morning, there is a firefight. Both sides are wasting bullets;
The fierce battle at the Mapo stronghold soon alerted the Japanese in the surrounding defense lines. Li Guoping succeeded in poking a hornet's nest, and the surrounding Japanese reinforcements came over like wasps exploding their nests. Gunfire was heard everywhere.
After poking the hornet's nest, Li Guoping's team retreated while fighting and began to implement the bully tactics.
As soon as the Japs saw that the attacker was trying to run away, they immediately chased him out screaming, leaving only one team of Japs to continue guarding the intersection.
Chu Xiong led the other two teams of the first squadron and quietly infiltrated while the Japanese defense line was in chaos.
Li Guoping's team gradually led the Japanese from the Bakou stronghold into the pocket of the Second Squadron. When He Guiping saw the Japanese entering the pocket, he gave the order to detonate.
"Boom boom boom..."
With a series of explosions, dozens of Japanese soldiers in the Bakou stronghold were swallowed up;
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The Second Squadron went out to ambush and eliminated the dozen or so Japs who were lucky enough to survive the explosion. The commotion became louder and louder!
This is no longer a sneak attack by a small group of enemies. The Japanese reinforcements coming from the surrounding areas are moving crazily towards this side...
After the Second Squadron met up with Li Guoping's team from the First Squadron, they fought and retreated in the opposite direction of the airport, luring the surrounding Japanese into the surrounding mountains.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
There were gunshots everywhere, which completely stirred up a hornet's nest. More and more Japanese were transferred away from the defense line, and an opportunity appeared.
