Chapter 33 Airport
After the life-and-death sniper attack with Masao Sakata, Song Yuanming's "Hunter" hunting team merged with the Wutong Independent Regiment led by Lin Xuan and continued their march.
"Sir Song, urgent telegram from headquarters." The communications soldier carrying a portable radio hurriedly ran forward and handed him a telegram. Song Yuanming looked at the messenger strangely. It has been nearly two months since his troops set out.
, the headquarters has always maintained radio silence on this special team. Why did an urgent telegram be sent today? Could it be that something happened to the frontal defense line? He hurriedly opened the telegram.
There were only two short sentences in the telegram: "Madang Fortress is in emergency, and we hope that all ministries will rush to help." Song, Yuan and Ming naturally knew a little bit about the battle of Madang Fortress. They were responsible for the defense from Madang to Hukou.
In order to please Shangfeng, Li Yunheng, commander of the Mahu District Fortress Headquarters and commander of the 16th Army, set up a two-week so-called "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" in the local area, and transferred deputy officers and platoon leaders of the 16th Army as well as local rural security guards.
He left his post for training. It started on June 10th and lasted for more than ten days. Although the war was getting tighter, Li Yunheng decided to hold the graduation ceremony at 8 a.m. on June 24th and issued a notice on the 23rd.
Officers from each unit, including captains and above, are asked to attend the meeting and have a dinner at the headquarters after the meeting.
The traitors among them informed the Japanese troops who were preparing to attack the Madang Fortress. The Japanese army took advantage of this loophole and sent heavy troops to launch a surprise attack on the Madang Fortress.
"MD, can these idiots be a little smarter than pigs?" Song Yuanming tore the telegram in his hand to pieces, "Lao Xie, where are we going now?"
"We have just reached the junction of Hubei and Anhui provinces. We are still at least a few hundred to a thousand miles away from Madang Fortress." Xie Yunhan compared the distance with a map. At the current speed of travel, it must be
It was too late. The battle of Madang Fortress fell in less than a week. It can be seen that the Japanese army moved quickly and their firepower was so powerful. Even if they could fly over, they would just throw themselves into this high-intensity "minced meat".
It's just in "Machine War".
"What should I do?" Song Yuanming paced anxiously. Even he, who had always been calm and calm, was so panicked. An Qing felt that Song Yuanming must have encountered a big problem this time. According to later records, after the fall of Madang Fortress,
The Japanese army was unstoppable along the way. Although the Chinese army put up an unyielding resistance, they ultimately suffered 1,000 casualties to the enemy and 800 losses to themselves. This also directly led to the fall of Wuhan. Every gain must come with a loss. Although the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, their troop resources were limited.
, resource consumption was very large. After this war, Japan was in short supply of domestic resources. The Japanese army on the Chinese mainland had to shift to strategic defense and put the "security" of the occupied areas first in order to achieve its purpose of supporting war with war.
"We can no longer take care of the Madang Fortress. Lao Xie, please mark the strategic nodes of the Japs on the map for me." Song Yuanming clapped his hands. Since history cannot be changed, I will find some good ones for the Japs.
trouble.
"What is a strategic node?" Xie Yunhan asked puzzledly.
"This..." Song Yuanming stamped his feet. How could Xie Yunhan understand these professional terms? He scratched his head: "It is the target that the little devils pay more attention to, like an arsenal, an airport, etc.
Mark them all for me."
"There are quite a few of these. Look, here, here and here are the Japanese arsenals that the military commander has detected. And here, this is an airport for the little devil." Xie Yunhan put these on the map.
Important goals are drawn in pencil.
"This airport is quite close to us, only a hundred and eighty miles away." Song Yuanming said coldly.
"You don't mean to..." Xie Yunhan had already deeply experienced Song Yuanming's adventurism in the two months since he came out, and it was no longer strange for him to come up with such unbridled ideas.
"The little devils are so arrogant, what's wrong with giving them a good lesson? Everyone remember, we snipers are like a pack of wolves. We can't beat the little devils in positional warfare, so just make a lot of noise behind them and stab them.
His little devil’s butt!!!”
"Poke that little devil in the ass!!!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
Two hours later, at 13 o'clock at noon, near the Japanese military airport.
"No, the little devils really regard this as their rear area, and the defense is so lax." King Tiger looked at the sparse defense of the airport in the distance through the telescope and exclaimed.
"It's not that the Japs are lax in their defense, it's that they simply can't spare any extra troops for defense. They have now deployed most of their troops to participate in the Wuhan battle, and I estimate that they are also dividing their forces to prepare to attack Guangzhou!"
"Attack Guangzhou?" Xie Yunhan exclaimed, "That is our last port. Once it is occupied, international aid supplies to China will not be able to enter."
"No, even if Guangzhou is occupied, international aid to China can still come in through the Burma Highway." Song Yuanming smiled mysteriously, and there is also the Hump Route. This is known as the lifeline of China's Anti-Japanese War, but it was established for China's Anti-Japanese War.
This is a huge contribution, which is why in 1941 when the Burma Highway was threatened, Chiang Kai-shek dispatched 100,000 troops to go on an expedition to Burma.
"Shall we fight now?" Rabbit asked.
"Have you ever seen wolves hunting during the day? Find a place to rest first and work at night." Song Yuanming said with a smile.
Night falls at the airport.
"It's really unlucky to be sent to an airport so close to the Chinese army." (Japanese) Japanese soldier Bingjia said.
"What can I do? Just bear with it." (Japanese) Japanese Bingyi smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started smoking.
"Give me one." (Japanese) Japanese soldier A stretched out his hand for a cigarette. Japanese soldier B pulled out a cigarette and threw it over: "Take it, this is a good cigarette, don't waste it." (Japanese)
The Japanese soldier A did not catch the smoke, and the Japanese soldier B did not throw the smoke over. The tiger king and the rabbit covered their mouths and noses with lightning speed, and the bayonets quickly penetrated their chests.
"Cuckoo - Cuckoo -" (Boss, everything is done) King Tiger and Rabbit learned a few owl calls.
"Tiger King and Rabbit have succeeded, let's go! Remember, fight quickly and don't be stingy with bullets." Song Yuanming responded with a toad call and said to the brothers behind him. He raised the submachine gun in his hand and opened the dust cover.
, pull the bolt and load the gun, ready to shoot.
A group of people rushed into the airport quickly. The searchlight on the high tower noticed the movement here, and the pale light instantly enveloped the entire team. "Bang——" Lin Xuan turned around and shot, "Crack——" the searchlight was broken.
, can no longer emit any light.
"Woo--" The harsh siren sounded. In the Japanese soldiers' dormitory, the sleeping Japanese soldiers got up from their beds one after another: "Quick, quick, there are enemies!!!" The Japanese soldiers quickly put on their clothes and took out their clothes.
He picked up his rifle and rushed out.
"Tiger King!!! Take a team of people and blow up all these planes for me!!!" Song Yuanming roared.
"Yes, team one, follow me!!!" Tiger King led the team towards the tarmac. Song Yuanming looked at the brothers around him: "Brothers, destroy these planes, and the brothers on the front line who are killing the Japanese will be here."
We can suffer less! Build fortifications on the spot to stop the Japanese, King Tiger and the others will blow up the plane and we will go home!!!"
"Yes!!!" Song Yuanming's order was carried out to the letter. Rabbit, Qinan, An Zi, and Feng each led a group of people to disperse in a skirmish line. Xie Yunhan, Lin Xuan, and An Qing constructed the first
Second position.
"Attack!!!" (Japanese) a Japanese officer with the rank of lieutenant drew his command sword and shouted, while the Japanese soldiers shouted and charged.
"Beat these sons of bitches!!!" Rabbit shouted, picked up the submachine gun in his hand and fired. "Bang bang bang bang bang..." His roar aroused the hearts of all the soldiers.
Amidst the fierce fire and intensive submachine gunfire, bullets hit the attacking Japanese soldiers like raindrops. The Japanese soldiers in the front row were hit by bullets and fell to the ground. The Japanese soldiers behind them learned the lesson and hid on the spot.
"Asshole, mortar, bombard!!!" (Japanese) Japanese Lieutenant Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly called for the mortar to fire. "Boom, boom, boom-" Three muffled sounds like heavy objects being thrown into a deep pool were heard in Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
He was horrified: "60 guns, retreat, retreat!!!"
As soon as the first line of defense began to shrink back, the Japanese artillery shells arrived. The Japanese only used these two moves. After the artillery bombarded the infantry, they charged, and after the infantry charged, the artillery bombarded them. As soon as the bombardment ended, Song Yuanming led his men back to the position. However,
This time, Song Yuanming not only targeted the charging infantry, but also targeted the artillery and heavy machine gun positions with semi-automatic sniper rifles, destroying anyone who came close.
"Brothers, push the oil drum!!!" Rabbit pushed an oil drum next to him towards the group of Japs on the opposite side. The oil drum rolled gurglingly. When it rolled in front of the Japs, Rabbit's bullets caught up.
The oil drum exploded with a loud bang, and the burning gasoline flowed everywhere. Many devils were instantly engulfed by the fire. Seeing that this trick was effective, the brothers imitated the gourd, and the oil drums roared one by one.
It was rolling towards the Japanese.
"Rabbit, this trick is very useful. Who did you learn it from?" Song Yuanming gave a thumbs up.
"Boss, of course I learned such a damaging move from you." Rabbit laughed, "I was inspired by your Moshifu cocktail, so I thought of using this gasoline barrel to burn the Japanese."
"It's a Molotov cocktail." Song Yuanming said angrily, why hasn't this kid remembered this name yet?
"Whatever, Lao Maozi's name is just hard to pronounce." Rabbit shrugged and said.
"Boom - Boom - Boom -" Violent explosions came one after another from the tarmac in the distance. When everyone looked back, they saw groups of fireballs exploding continuously, mixed with many pieces of aircraft.
Tiger King returned with a team: "Boss, all the planes were blown up, and not a single one was left for the little devils. Now let's see how they still show off their power above our heads."
"Okay!!!" Song Yuanming said loudly, "Brothers, the Tiger King has blown the little devil's iron-skinned bastard to pieces. Let's fight quickly and resolve the battle as soon as possible!!!"
"Don't move, you are injured and need treatment." (Japanese) The battle is over, the airport is in a mess, and the fire points are crackling and burning. An Qing is squatting in front of an injured Japanese soldier and bandaging it.
"Hey, Old Song, come and see the prisoner we captured." Lin Xuan smiled and pulled Song Yuanming over. When Song Yuanming saw the prisoner, he quickly took out his pistol and shot An Qing in the head while pulling An Qing to his side.
.
"What are you doing? He is a wounded person, why do you want to kill him?" An Qing was very puzzled by Song Yuanming's actions.
"Old Song, what are you doing? It's wrong to shoot prisoners." Lin Xuan was also puzzled.
"Prisoner?" Song Yuanming took back his pistol, "Look at what his right hand is doing." An Qing and Lin Xuan were stunned when they heard Song Yuanming's words, and looked at the Japs right hand. It didn't matter if they didn't look at it. They were shocked when they saw it.
, the Jaap soldier held a grenade with half of the safety ring removed. If Song Yuanming had not handled it in time, Lin Xuan and An Qing who were present might not have been able to escape.
"Brothers, clean the battlefield carefully. Remember, I don't want to take prisoners. I will kill all the living ones." Song Yuanming turned to the hunting team who were cleaning the battlefield and said.
