Chapter 320 Attack on the airport!
Wusu Airport.
Seeing the six tanks rushing over along the highway, the Japanese defenders panicked.
The airport's control tower has received news from the communications room of the headquarters that a group of ruthless bandits have robbed 6 tanks and armored vehicles in Taiyuan City and are driving south along the highway.
and ordered the airport to strengthen security.
The Japs at the airport have indeed stepped up their alert, and all the garrison troops are on standby.
But the Japanese didn't think the enemy dared to attack the airport.
After all, there are 6 Type 98 machine guns at the airport, 2 of which are twin-mounted machine guns.
This machine gun can easily break through the defensive steel plates of tanks and armored vehicles. Tanks and armored vehicles that dare to attack the airport are seeking death.
Even when they saw the enemy driving 6 tanks towards the airport, the Japanese at the airport were not too scared.
However, when the machine gun position was destroyed by sudden artillery fire and six machine guns were destroyed one after another, the Japanese were completely panicked.
Ta da da, da da da, da da da...
The Japanese artillery towers and bunkers on both sides of the road into the airport fired at the tanks.
But the members of the Sword Squadron ignored it at all, and didn't even fight back. They rushed towards the airport gate at full speed.
In addition to the Japs in the gun towers and bunkers, the airport was defended by a Japs squadron.
If the Japanese squadron of the Class A division strengthens its heavy-armed squad, it will be equipped with 20mm anti-tank guns, but the Japanese squadron stationed at the airport does not have this treatment.
The Japanese used grenades to fire at the tanks, but it was of no use. Even the tracks of the tanks kept exploding.
The roadblocks set up by the Japanese were blown up with a few shots, and the airport gate was also blasted open.
It only took a few minutes for the tanks to rush onto the airport runway and then begin their hunt.
The enemy's aircraft nest is built on the left side of the airport runway. It is an arched reinforced concrete building larger than a house. Each aircraft nest is also equipped with iron doors.
Yoshio Shinozuka protects his aircraft very well.
"Stop!" Duan Peng shouted loudly when he saw the iron door of the Japanese aircraft nest through the observation window.
The enemy's machine gun and rifle bullets hit the tank, making a tinkling sound, but everyone turned a deaf ear.
The mortars of the 5th team started working again, long-range bombardment of Japanese firepower points set up throughout the airport, reducing some pressure on the tanks.
The driver immediately stopped moving forward. The Type 97 tank stopped on the runway. Duan Peng turned the turret. Wei Monk pointed the 47mm tank gun at the iron door of the aircraft nest and stuffed a 47mm armor-piercing shell into the gun barrel.
There was a muffled sound, followed by a slight shake of the tank, and the shells shot out instantly.
Through the observation window, Duan Peng and Wei Monk saw the shell penetrate the iron door of the aircraft nest and shoot into the interior of the aircraft nest.
boom!
The air wave of the explosion opened the iron door, a puff of gunpowder smoke spurted out, and a Type 96 attack aircraft in the aircraft nest burst into flames.
"Monk, you shot well!" Duan Peng shouted, "One more shot!"
"Look at me!" Monk Wei took out another 47mm grenade from the ammunition box and stuffed it into the barrel.
The movement of his hand did not pause at all. The 47mm howitzer shell shot out of the barrel, and the next moment the shell hit the Japanese aircraft.
A violent fireball rose up, and the Japanese fighter plane was torn apart in the explosion.
Complete reimbursement.
The other five tanks also destroyed a Japanese plane at this time, and huge smoke rose from the airport.
"idiot!"
In the tower, the Japanese squadron leader Kuroki Takeryo, who was responsible for leading the troops to defend the airport, saw this scene and his molars almost broke.
In less than 2 minutes, 6 fighter planes were destroyed.
If this continues, five other planes will also be destroyed.
At that time, he may have to commit suicide.
No one can protect him.
"idiot!"
"Attack, attack!"
"Destroy the tanks!"
Takeliang Kuroki held the command saber with his teeth and claws bared and roared angrily.
"Young Zuo, we don't have anti-tank weapons. Rifles and machine guns can't deal with tanks." A Japanese soldier with the rank of lieutenant said next to him.
"Then use dynamite, use dynamite to blow up the tank!"
"Go quickly!"
"Hi!" The Japanese lieutenant quickly turned around to organize the death squad.
Then Takeryo Kuroki picked up the handset and asked for help from the Taiyuan headquarters: "The airport was attacked by enemy tanks, asking for tactical guidance!"
Although the order to blow up the tank by suicide was issued, Takeryo Kuroki knew that it would be difficult to blow up the tank.
In the battle with the Chinese army, the Chinese army used explosive packs to deal with Japanese tanks. Most of the time, losing dozens or hundreds of people might not be able to blow up a tank.
With little success.
After receiving the order, the Japs jumped out of the bunker holding explosives and ran towards the tank.
Unless the grenade can be thrown inside the tank, or thrown through the barrel, it is like scratching an itch on the tank.
After killing a Japanese plane, Duan Peng directed the pilot to quickly find the next Japanese plane.
Soon, Duan Peng saw an aircraft nest in the observation window and quickly shouted to the pilot to stop.
Monk Wei had already loaded the shell into the chamber and turned the muzzle in the direction of the aircraft nest. Before he could fire, he saw a Japanese soldier approaching with a package of explosives 200 meters away through the observation window.
"Duan Peng, there is a Japanese on the right!"
While Monk Wei was shouting, he was also moving his hands. The tank shook and an armor-piercing bullet came out.
After the monk's reminder, Duan Peng also found the Japs on the right in the observation window, and then immediately pointed the machine gun at the Japs and pressed the pressure iron.
Ta da da, da da, da da da...
The machine gun screamed wildly, and bullets poured like rain in a fan pattern on the right side. Blood mist splashed, and the Japanese death squad fell instantly.
A group of Japanese death squads also appeared in front of the tank. The machine gunner on the left side of the cab immediately pulled the trigger on the Japanese.
Lu Yingjun and Cao Jinwang, who were on the top of the hill, saw the Japanese infantry trying to get close to the tank, and they immediately fired artillery around the tank to cover it.
Seeing this situation, two Type 95 tanks stopped looking for the Japanese aircraft nests and took the initiative to defend against Japanese skirmishers.
After all, the Japanese's suicide attacks can still threaten the tanks. If the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will be a big loss.
Fortunately, the interior of the runway in the airport is all flat ground. There is no cover for the Japanese when they rush out, just like shooting at a target.
With the concerted efforts of 6 tanks, more than 20 aircraft nests were finally blown up.
Not all aircraft nests have aircraft. There are only 11 aircraft nests with aircraft, including reconnaissance aircraft, fighters and bombers.
Ten minutes later, a large number of Japanese soldiers lay on the airport runway.
After the six tanks finished their work, they did not hesitate to fight and drove out along the airport road towards Jinzhong.
…
"Shao Zuo, the enemy drove away in a tank."
The enemy may not have many artillery shells, and neither the tower nor the watchtower was bombarded. Lieutenant Japanese reported to Kuroki Wuliang.
Takeliang Kuroki glanced at the smoke-filled airport, his face turned ashen.
All 11 aircraft were destroyed, the garrison suffered heavy losses, and not even a tank was destroyed.
It's really doomed now, and I'm afraid it's decided.
Kuroki Takeryo glanced at his stomach: "Hurry up and report the situation at the airport to the headquarters."
"Hi!" Lieutenant Jaap quickly turned around and walked to the radio, picked up the receiver and called: "Moxi Moxi, Moxi Moxi."
…
"Wusu Airport was attacked by tanks and all 11 aircraft were destroyed?"
Taiyuan City, Japanese Army Headquarters.
After receiving the report from Takeryo Kuroki, Yoshio Shinozuka felt bad.
This group of gangsters robbed the tank and actually attacked the airport. Not only did they kill his precious pilot, but they also destroyed the plane.
"Bagaya road!"
"Are the machine guns installed at the airport just decorations?"
Yoshio Shinozuka clapped his hands on the table angrily and stood up. Although gun towers, bunkers, and firearms could not deal with tanks, the airport did have machine guns for air defense.
If tanks dare to attack the airport, they are seeking death!
"Commander!"
Communications Staff Officer Kasai Toshiatsu said: "The Wusu Airport Tower reported that before the tanks entered the airport, the enemy first attacked the machine gun position with mortars. The attackers fired very fiercely. Within a few minutes, the machine gun position was destroyed. was destroyed, and then the tank entered the runway..."
Needless to say, Kasai Toshimatsu and Shinozuka Yoshio already knew the result.
"idiot!"
Yoshio Shinozuka felt a sudden pain in his heart when he heard this.
The enemy didn't stop after killing his precious pilot, but actually destroyed his precious fighter plane.
Since the last time Xincheng Airport was bombarded by eight-pronged bombardment, Yoshio Shinozuka has worked very hard to protect the airport, but despite all the precautions, he still failed to prevent it.
All the pilots of the 9th Flying Squadron were shattered, and half of the fighter planes were destroyed. According to the current situation in the empire, it would take at least two or three months for the First Army to replenish pilots and fighter planes.
This was like stabbing him in the heart, several times in a row.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up with his sword and slashed wildly at the desk in front of him, cutting it into several pieces with just a few cuts.
Kasai Toshimatsu stepped aside in fear, looking at the desk that had been chopped into several pieces, thinking that the commander's sword skills were becoming more and more proficient and sharp.
After venting his anger, Yoshio Shinozuka breathed a long sigh of relief and put the lieutenant general's sword back into its sheath.
"Order, all ministries to kill all attackers at all costs!"
Shinozuka Yoshio's tone contained murderous intent, and the anger he gritted his teeth was not concealed at all.
"Hi!" Toshimatsu Kasai turned around and left the commander's office and walked quickly to the communications room.
After Toshimatsu Kasai left, Yoshio Shinozuka walked to the map, adjusted his glasses, and raised his head to look at the map on the wall.
South of Wusu Airport is Jinzhong, and further south are Taigu, Qixian, and the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.
Well, most of the people who carried out the attack in Taiyuan this time were the Eighth Route Army troops, and they were very powerful Eighth Route Army troops. There were not so many ordinary troops who could drive tanks.
His intuition told him that the initiator of this attack was probably Li Yunlong again.
Thinking of Li Yunlong, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a headache and wanted to kill Li Yunlong, but he couldn't.
Just disgusting.
