Chapter 16 Recapture the Airport

Thank you to Tian Gao Yundan for your reward!

****

Zhang Chi did not directly participate in this battle because the first company suffered too many casualties when performing a strong attack mission, so when launching a fire attack on the airport, the first company was once again arranged as a fire cover unit.

Although it was fire cover, most people could only lie down and wait for orders... The range of Hanyang was only more than 200 meters, and they could not hit the Japanese devils in the distance. Moreover, there were expeditionary soldiers rushing towards the airport with bayonets everywhere in front of them. If they were shooting randomly, they would be more likely to hit their own people.

Zhang Chi looked at all this silently, at the firelight in the airport, at the fight under the firelight, at the lives taken away by bullets and bayonets... These hellish scenes that could only be seen in movies and TV are now alive.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the battle in the airport was approaching the end of the timely joining the Third Battalion of the Main Force.

When the sun rises, it illuminates the chaos at the airport: there are corpses everywhere passing by, and the blood on the ground is red like fire under the sunlight. The scattered guns and human organs are mixed together, and it is impossible to tell who is the master of whom. Occasionally, there are several injured Japanese soldiers struggling to get up, and they are soon rushed to the expeditionary army soldiers to make up a shot or a bayonet nailed to the ground... The 200th Division has participated in a series of battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Kunlun Mountain. They have fought with the Japanese a lot and have experienced the cruelty of the Japanese, so they naturally will not be ruthless to the Japanese.

Although Zhang Chi knew that the Japanese soldiers were still dead, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene, because when he saw the soldiers of the expeditionary army aiming the gun at the Japanese soldiers' heads, he had no impatience on his face and no hesitation on his face. They were as normal as slaughtering animals.

Is this war?!

It makes life so despicable and cruel.

At this time, the soldiers cheered, and then they heard Xiao Zhejiang shouting excitedly: "Look, you have captured the Japanese official!"

The captive was Tanaka Mashi, the captain of the second brigade of the 144th Japanese Army. He originally thought that the main force of the 55th Division was working on the front, and the transport planes were constantly providing supplies to the 144th Army. It would be a sure thing for them to defend the airport by one of their brigades.

But who would have thought that the situation would take a sharp turn. Just as Tanaka Mashi looked at the rising sun in the east, he was determined to think that when the sky was bright, he would get support from the Imperial Army fighter jets and bombers. Then, when Chinese soldiers wanted to take the airport, they were dreaming in daylight... Countless fireballs suddenly rolled around the airport, so the airport suddenly fell into chaos.

All of this came too quickly. Tanaka Mashi originally wanted to reorganize the defense, but before he could assemble the troops, he found that the Chinese soldiers had rushed to him.

Seeing the firelight full of Chinese soldiers with red eyes rushing towards him, Tanaka Mashi realized that the situation was hopeless. Just as he sighed and pulled out his command knife to commit suicide by cutting his caesarean section, a stray bullet hit his arm, which made him watch his subordinates fall down one by one under the guns of the Chinese, and then a group of barefoot soldiers holding guns surrounded him.

(Note: The reason I am barefoot is because the straw sandals I wear are ignited by the fire. Although the 200th Division is a well-equipped ace force in the national army, most soldiers wear straw sandals due to the shortage of domestic supplies.)

Seeing that it was a Japanese officer who had been taken down, Wang Mazi brought a few guards to meet him.

Tanaka Mashi stood up in front of Wang Mako, then bowed and said in stiff Chinese: "You are fighting very well. I hope you can tell your troops number so that I can know which troops I lost, please!"

Wang Mazi was not surprised that the Japanese army could speak a few Chinese words. The Japanese were always used to studying their opponents, so many Japanese officers were Chinese experts.

"You still don't know!" Wang Mazi smiled.

"You are trying to leave me regrets?" Tanaka Mashi was quite surprised by Wang Mako's words. After all, it was just a slight effort to tell the number.

Wang Mazi shook his head: "It's okay to tell you, we are the troops of the Engineer Corps!"

"It turned out to be the unit of the Engineer Corps." Tanaka Mashi's Chinese was obviously not good enough. He didn't realize what unit the Engineer Corps was at first. After a while, he realized that he was surprised and stared at Wang Mazi: "Impossible, how could it be the Engineer Corps?!"

"Of course it's the engineering corps!" Wang Mazi proudly raised his chest: "The engineering corps that were defeated by you not long ago are now coming to you to collect debts!"

Tanaka Mashi still couldn't believe it, but when he saw that the Chinese soldiers around him were all made of Hanyang... As a Japanese officer who had been fighting with the Chinese army for many years, he certainly knew the various equipment of the Chinese soldiers. He had not discovered that it was just because it was not dawn. At this time, when he saw that the troops were made of Hanyang, he knew that what Wang Mazi said was not false, so he closed his eyes and sighed to the sky with pale face.

Only then did Tanaka Mashi understand why this Chinese officer said, "It's better that you still don't know."

Indeed, the famous 144th Regiment was defeated by the Chinese soldiers' engineer corps and was wiped out... If this news reached the division commander or even the country, then the reputation that Tanaka Mashi had gained over the years would be completely ruined.

Suddenly, Tanaka Mashi regretted it. Why did he hesitate when he committed suicide by cesarean section?!

News of the airport's loss soon reached the 55th Division Headquarters, and Takeuchi Hiroshi couldn't help but frowned.

Although this can be said to be an accident, it cannot be said to be an accident.

The reason was that the Chinese army in front of him had already given him too many surprises, which even made him wonder if the intelligence provided by the intelligence department was wrong... How could an infantry division, and a Chinese infantry division lacked ammunition and supplies, block the attack of the entire division of the Imperial Army, and the 55th Division also had air force assistance.

This has made the 55th Division a laughing stock of the Imperial Army, but being joked is secondly. Takeuchi Hiroshi knows very well what it would mean if he didn't quickly take down Tonggu and gave the Chinese army time to assemble in Tonggu.

Takeuchi Kuang's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then he ordered the communications soldier beside him with a dark face: "Give power to the 56th Division Headquarters and let them join the battle as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" A hint of surprise flashed in the communications soldier's eyes.
