The night of October 24, 1940, Hankou
Wang Yue was engaged in violent demolition at Kinoshita Toshi's pilot training school, and Li Yunlong also began to exchange fire with the puppet military division. It was different from what was expected before. The puppet military division that relied on its strong military strength did not collapse at the first touch, but relied on Following the strong military camp, they began to attack Li Yunlong and the others.
Originally, Li Yunlong could get away with it and rush over. The puppet army would never dare to fire on the tank in Hankou, but Lao Li was too high-profile. He actually put the blue sky and white sun flag on the tank and used it. Wang Yue played "March of the Broadsword" from the loudspeaker installed on his tank, which was extremely arrogant.
Wang Yue said that I don’t take the blame for this. The speaker is really original. He just repaired the old record player. To be arrogant, it was the arrogance of the alliance commander back then. As for why this tank was specially given to Li Yunlong, Wang Yue I don't understand it either, maybe it's because he has the will to match Li Yunlong's temperament.
Li Yunlong, who knew the seriousness of the situation, did not tangle with these puppet troops. After blinding the puppet troops with a burst of artillery fire, he led his troops to rush to the airport. At this time, Li Yunlong leaned out of the turret and could already see the lights of the airport with his naked eyes. .
By the time the shelling on Wang Yue's side ended, Li Yunlong and the others had already approached the outskirts of the airport and exchanged fire with the Japanese garrison. The Japanese garrison was going crazy. Although they were an infantry unit, they had nothing. Heavy weapons were strengthened, and even the artillery squadrons that belonged to the previous regiment were transferred to the front line. The most powerful weapons in their hands were a few mortars, but now ten tanks suddenly appeared, or Imported tanks and Type 92 heavy machine guns are useless at all, not even the airport's 20mm anti-aircraft gun. The armor is too thick.
In this case, the devils who are at their wits' end will usually send out death squads and attack with human bombs to destroy the tanks. However, there is no time to organize the death squads in such a hurry. Even if the death squads are organized, they will not have bombs that can be used in their hands. For a long time In peacetime, their vigilance has almost been worn away. The troops on duty don't even like to carry extra bullets, not to mention hand grenades. What are they doing with that thing? It weighs so much. Bring less bullets. It is enough to threaten the common people and those spies. is enough.
Five minutes, just five minutes, Li Yunlong broke through the defense of the Japanese defense team, which made Li Yunlong dumbfounded. What do you mean? When did the Japanese army become so useless? However, Li Yunlong had no time to be complacent, because a Japanese plane had already taken off forcibly, and the Japanese airport was already in chaos. If the delay continued, another Japanese plane might escape.
Ten tanks rushed into the airport, just like ten tigers rushing into a herd of sheep. They found that there were all targets in front of them, and they didn't know which one to hit. Fortunately, Li Yunlong had a strong adaptability and immediately took out all the targets in his hands. The large number of troops were divided into four squads and began to harvest the planes on the airport along the runway.
For this operation, Wang Yue even equipped these Valentine tanks with 7.92mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs. High-end goods costing eight dollars each, ten tanks. The bullets alone cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. As for why The British tanks will be equipped with 7.92mm machine guns, which is another sad story.
After a while, the Japanese planes on the airport started to burn. Aluminum, wood, and canvas were not very flame-retardant, especially those advanced aluminum alloy fighter jets. Just a few armor-piercing incendiary bombs could ignite them. , coupled with the explosion of aviation fuel, the entire Hankou Airport quickly fell into a sea of flames.
The Japanese garrison quickly reacted after being fooled. It is true that these attackers have sharp weapons, but they are small in number. Although the garrison is not full of staff, there are more than 3,000 people, which consumes a lot of energy. Kill them, the attackers always have enough fuel and ammunition.
After reacting, the Japanese garrison rushed to the airport and began to launch an uninterrupted attack on Li Yunlong and the others. During this period, two trucks filled with oil barrels even attacked a small unit and two Valentine tanks. , three TL37 combat passenger vehicles were completely destroyed with a huge explosion.
But you must admit the bravery of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Even if the tanks turned into a ball of fire, they still rushed towards the Japanese bombers regardless, until they died together with the little Japanese.
Seeing that the attack was effective, the Japanese seemed to have discovered a new world. They drove their cars towards the tanks of the Eighth Route Army. There was no shortage of cars at the airport. Although there were not many oil tankers, there were many ordinary trucks. After a while, two more A TL37 combat passenger car was crashed by a Japs driver, and another Valentine tank was crashed by a forcibly activated Japs bomber.
Li Yunlong realized that something was wrong and immediately issued a breakout order on the radio. Seeing this scene, the Japanese garrison and the ground staff at the airport even drove and chased after the attackers, intending to keep these attackers behind. The Japanese knew very well that most of the planes here had been damaged. If the attackers were allowed to If you run away again, you will definitely not get good results. In this case, three more TL37 combat passenger vehicles and a Valentine tank were destroyed by the Japanese.
When Li Yunlong and the others finally crossed the paddy field and arrived at Wang Yue's plane, out of the ten Valentine tanks and eight TL37 combat passenger vehicles when they set off, only five Valentine tanks were left. And almost every vehicle had different injuries, and one tank's barrel was bent.
There was no time to be sad or even to destroy the tank. Li Yunlong and the others climbed onto the transport plane that had begun to taxi amidst the roar of the engine. There was no need to hurry. The Japanese 20mm anti-aircraft guns guarding the airport had already begun to greet us. Wang Leap can collect those threatening shells into space, but it cannot continue like this. After all, it consumes too much brainpower.
Fortunately, the Japs' searchlights have elevation angles and cannot provide sufficient guidance. The small searchlights on the airport watchtower simply do not have enough illumination distance. If there were large searchlights for guidance, Wang Yue's Li-2 would probably have to It was focused by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire.
After the plane took off, Li Yunlong finally saw the situation at the airport clearly. The huge Hankou Airport had turned into a sea of fire. Only the southwest corner was still holding on, but only God knows whether it can hold on. .
Some people died, but not completely...
