Chapter 320 Attack on the airport!
Wusu Airport.
Seeing the six tanks charging across the road, the Japanese defenders panicked.
The airport's control tower has received news from the communications room of the headquarters that a group of gangsters have robbed 6 tanks and armored vehicles in Taiyuan City and are heading south along the highway.
and ordered the airport to strengthen its vigilance.
The Japs at the airport have indeed stepped up their vigilance, 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, and one of them is a twin-mounted machine gun.
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.
However, the members of the Sword Squadron ignored it at all and did not 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 Japs Squadron of the Type A Division strengthens its heavy armor squad, it will be equipped with 0mm anti-tank guns, but the Japs Squadron stationed at the airport will not have this treatment.
The Japanese used grenades to fire at the tank, but it was of no use. Even the tracks of the tank were blown up.
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 tank to rush onto the airport runway and then start hunting.
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 team's mortars began to operate 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 Monk Wei saw the shells 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 of the gun.
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.
At this time, the other tanks also destroyed a Japanese plane, and huge smoke rose from the airport.
"idiot!"
In the tower, the Japs squadron leader Kuroki Takeryo, who was responsible for leading the troops to defend the airport, saw this scene and his molars nearly shattered.
In less than a minute, six fighter planes were destroyed.
If this continues, another plane will 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 open, 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 explosives, use explosives to blow up the tank!"
"Go quickly!"
"Hi!" Lieutenant Jaap 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 ** team, the Chinese ** team used explosive packs to deal with Japanese tanks. Most of the time, even if they lost dozens or hundreds of people, they 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 tanks.
Unless the grenade can be thrown into 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 airplane 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 through the observation window a Japanese soldier approaching with a package of explosives 300 meters away.
"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 spotted the Japs on the right in the observation window, and 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 kamikaze fell down in an instant.
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, a Type 95 tank stopped looking for a Japanese aircraft nest 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 huge loss.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, the interior of the runway in the airport is flat ground, so there is no bunker for the Japanese when they rush out, just like shooting at a target.
With the concerted efforts of 6 tanks, more than 0 aircraft nests were finally blown up.
Not all aircraft nests have aircraft. There are only 11 aircraft nests, including reconnaissance aircraft, fighters and bombers.
10 minutes later, a large number of Japanese soldiers lay on the runway of the airport.
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 sentry tower was shelled. Lieutenant Japanese reported to Kuroki Takeryoshi.
Kuroki Takeryo 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 able to be blown up.
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."
