Taiyuan Chengbei Airport is brightly lit.
On a small dirt bag about one kilometer from the airport.
Li Changshun and another team member are dormant here.
Through the field of view of the artillery mirror, more than 20 aircraft can be seen parked on the airport runway, 19 of which are bombers, as well as 2 reconnaissance aircraft and 2 transport aircraft.
There are currently two airports in Taiyuan, namely Xincheng Airport outside the north of the city and Wusu Airport outside the south of the city.
Because the mission of the 66th Squadron this time was to harass and bomb the northwestern part of Shanxi.
In addition, there was not much aviation fuel allocated. In order to save fuel, all the Japanese planes attacking northwestern Shanxi this time were parked at Xincheng Airport in the northern suburbs.
After all, the distance between Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport is 30 kilometers. Each plane can save 60 kilometers of fuel by flying back and forth.
At this time, the Japanese's southward plan threatened the United States' interests in Nanyang, and the United States was choked in terms of fuel.
The Japanese's fuel reserves are even more scarce.
In fact, one of the reasons why the Japanese army launched the Nomonkan Campaign was to plunder Siberian oil fields.
Tanks, cars, airplanes, etc. all need fuel. Without fuel, these equipment are useless.
It is said that the Japanese exploration team was less than one kilometer away from discovering the Daqing Oil Field. If the Daqing Oil Field was discovered by the Japanese army, maybe the Japanese army would not attack the United States, and history might be rewritten.
Back to business.
After Li Changshun conveyed the shooting parameters to the artillery position, he turned to look at the sky to the north.
Not long after, Li Changshun and the two heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the sky. The sound came from far away and landed 300 meters away from the north side of the airport.
"boom!"
A thunderous explosion resounded across the sky.
Li Changshun approached the artillery team's mirror and took a look. Although the direction was correct, the impact point was far away from the airport, and the error was large.
Then, he quickly used the radio to relay the shooting instructions to the artillery position based on the impact point of the artillery shell.
"Add three to the ruler, one test shot, let go!"
After a while, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky again. Li Changshun and his teammates turned to look, their eyes following the trajectory of the shells.
"boom!"
The shell landed accurately in the airport. Fireballs and gunpowder smoke burst out instantly. Amidst the explosion of landslides and ground cracks, a big crater was blown out of the Japanese runway.
Seeing this scene, Li Changshun looked calm and held the microphone of the radio: "The target is the Japanese airport, the entire battalion, shoot quickly... let go!"
On the last word, Li Changshun's tone increased, his body trembled slightly, and he almost shouted.
On the heavy artillery position of the new regiment, Yao Shangwen also issued an order for the entire battalion to fire.
After a while, the whistling sound of artillery shells flying through the air once again tore through the quiet air, and 12 artillery shells streaked across the sky like dazzling streams of light in the night sky.
"Boom boom boom..."
These shells fell into the airport and exploded. With the sound of landslides and ground cracks, Xincheng Airport immediately fell into a sea of fire.
In the sight of Li Changshun and his teammates, a huge fireball rose on the airport runway, and the Japanese plane was torn into pieces like pieces of paper.
Although the 150mm extended-range projectile is not as powerful as ordinary high-explosive grenades.
But its caliber is 150 mm after all, and its explosion power is greater than that of a 105 mm caliber grenade.
Compared with the 75mm mountain cannon used by Li Yunlong when he led his artillery battalion to bombard Xincheng Airport for the first time, it was much more powerful.
In fact, when the first shell fell and exploded, it woke up the Japs at the Japs Airport. However, when the shells fell outside the airport, the Japs rushed out of the dormitory in a panic, their faces full of confusion.
When the second shell landed in the airport, the Japanese realized that the airport had been attacked and hurried to the fighting position.
However, it is of no use.
Groups of artillery shells continued to hit the airport, and then exploded loudly.
After the pilot of the First Army was assassinated, the Japanese pilots' dormitories were arranged in Taiyuan City.
There was also a shortage of fuel, so the fuel warehouse was converted into an underground warehouse.
However, Li Changshun commanded the heavy artillery battalion and washed the Xincheng Airport with artillery shells.
In 15 minutes, more than 300 artillery shells were poured into the Japanese airport.
It wasn't until the entire Xincheng Airport was blown into a sea of flames that Li Changshun and his teammates got up, put the radio on their backs, and disappeared into the night.
Two hours later, Li Changshun and his teammates successfully reunited with Li Yunlong and the others. Everyone got on the truck and dragged the large-caliber heavy artillery towards northwest Shanxi.
…
the next day.
Headquarters.
Although the news of Miyano Michichi being killed in the bombing was strictly leaked by the top Japanese military officials, the paper could not cover up the fire. What happened in Baoding the next day was spread to the headquarters through various channels.
"Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, was killed?"
The chief of staff, holding the paper in his hand, read the contents of the message repeatedly. He was stunned for a long time, and then asked the communications staff expectantly:
"Is this news accurate?"
The boss who was staring at the map and frowning suddenly raised his head when he heard the news, his eyes full of surprise!
The Japanese army's raids on the Jizhong Military Region are still continuing. This time, the Japanese troops are coming with force and massed heavy troops to launch the raids.
The Jizhong Military Region recently received support from the headquarters for a batch of sophisticated weapons and ammunition.
However, the military strength of the Jizhong Military Region is too different from that of the Japanese and puppet troops, and it is no match for the Japanese army.
Although Li Yunlong had reported a few days ago that the Japanese army was going to launch a large-scale raid on the Jizhong Military Region, the time was rushed and the preparations were insufficient.
There were even several regiments that were blocked by the Japanese in encirclement in order to cover the retreat of the common people.
"I have confirmed with the comrades on the hidden front that this information is accurate."
"The telegram sent by comrades on the hidden front said that Miyano Michichi took a heavy armored train from Peking to Baoding yesterday morning. At about 10 o'clock, he was attacked by a bomb 10 kilometers northeast of Baoding and died on the spot. This happened on the first The news has spread to the Army and the North China Front Army Headquarters.”
While speaking, the communications staff officer handed a telegram to the chief of staff. It was the second telegram sent by comrades on the hidden front.
"Haha, well done!"
When the boss heard this, he slapped his fist on the table, and most of his depression for several days disappeared.
Some units of the surrounded regiments have broken out, but suffered heavy losses, basically losing two-thirds of their strength.
"Who did this?" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the boss looked at the communications staff officer and asked.
"It's not clear yet, but the comrades on the hidden front are doing their best to inquire and investigate." The communications staff member shook his head and said.
All the combat staff members also expressed excitement when they heard this. The second-in-command of the Kwantung Army was killed. This is definitely big international news!
"It couldn't be that guy Li Yunlong who did it again, right?" one of the combat staff said tentatively.
"Don't tell me, it's really possible!" Another combat staff officer answered.
"Send Li Yunlong a telegram and ask, won't you know?"
A group of combat advisers were discussing in a hurry.
When the boss and chief of staff heard this, they looked at each other and saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.
The old devil Miyano was probably killed by this kid Li Yunlong, and it was a business deal.
At present, in North China, even the underground party cannot obtain information on the whereabouts of Japanese Lieutenant Generals, and the only one who can obtain information on the whereabouts of Japanese Lieutenant Generals is Li Yunlong's assistance channel.
The boss said with a tone full of expectation: "Send a telegram to the new group immediately and ask Li Yunlong if he killed Miyano Michichi!"
If the old devil Miyano Michichi was really killed by Li Yunlong, then it would probably be a big deal.
"yes!"
The communications staff officer gave a military salute and was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, a decoder hurried in and handed a telegram to the communications staff officer.
The communications staff officer first glanced at the content of the telegram, and then handed it to the chief of staff in an excited tone: "Chief of Staff, boss, another good news. Comrades hiding in Taiyuan sent a telegram. The little Japanese was shelled at the airport in the north of Taiyuan City. , blowing up more than 20 Japanese planes on the runway."
"This must have been done by Li Yunlong!" a combat staff officer said with certainty.
Everyone nodded, and everyone was surprisingly unanimous on this point. The only ones with the strength and the opportunity to blow up the Japanese airport were Li Yunlong's new group.
Moreover, during the Hundred Regiments War, Li Yunlong led his artillery to bombard Taiyuan Airport.
Familiar doors and familiar roads.
"It seems that there is more than one surprise!"
The boss's depression immediately disappeared and he felt very comfortable: "Immediately send a telegram to Xinyi Tuan and ask if these two things were done by Li Yunlong?"
"Yes!" The communications staff member raised his lips, turned around and left quickly.
…
Northwest Shanxi, Zhaojiayu.
Li Yunlong led the guard battalion and the 1st heavy artillery company back to Zhaojiayu at dawn.
At this moment, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were having breakfast with the soldiers.
"Report to the regiment leader and political commissar, urgent call from headquarters!"
The decoder of the new regiment held the telegram in his hand, ran to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with small steps, saluted with a military salute, and then handed over the telegram.
Li Yunlong put down his bowls and chopsticks, quickly took the telegram and read it.
The content of the telegram was the headquarters asking whether Li Yunlong was responsible for the Baoding incident and the bombing of Xincheng Airport.
Commander Li handed the message to Zhao Gang and smiled slightly: "Haha, as expected of the headquarters, the information was received so quickly."
After Zhao Gang read it, he handed the telegram to Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou, and said: "Moreover, the head of the headquarters also guessed that it was all us who did it, and just sent a telegram to confirm."
"Chief of Staff Wang." Li Yunlong said to Wang Dehou, "Immediately draft a telegram and reply to the headquarters, saying that these two things were done by our new regiment. By the way, the two tank battalions earned from the business are also Tell the headquarters and ask the headquarters to temporarily stay two tank battalions in northwestern Shanxi, and when this battle is over, we will hand over another tank battalion."
"Yes, Captain."
Wang Dehou immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks, turned and walked towards his room to get paper and pen to draft the telegram.
Soon, Wang Dehou drafted the telegram and showed it to Li Yunlong. After reading it, Li Yunlong signed his name.
Wang Dehou handed the telegram to the communications team, and the telegraph operator immediately sent the telegram to the headquarters.
