In the afternoon, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were hosting a banquet for Chen Feng at the regiment headquarters.
Ding ding ding——
The phone on the cabinet dinged.
"I'll take a call."
Li Yunlong got up from the Kang table and walked to the cabinet, picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is the regiment headquarters."
After a while, Li Yunlong said: "Okay, I understand."
Seeing Li Yunlong's serious expression, Zhao Gang asked: "Old Li, what's going on?"
"Our lookout post just reported." Li Yunlong said, "About 30 Japanese planes are flying towards our base from the northeast."
During this time, the Japanese reconnaissance planes kept entering the base area.
To prevent being bombed by Japanese planes, Li Yunlong ordered some lookout posts to be set up around the base area.
No matter which direction the Japanese plane flies from the east, north, or south, the regiment headquarters will receive the news in advance.
Unless the Japanese fleet flew over northern Shanxi and then turned back, it was impossible for the regiment headquarters to receive the news in advance, but with the Japs' urinary nature, they should not be willing to waste so much fuel.
"30 Japanese planes?"
Zhao Gang's face changed slightly, and then he sounded confused: "The Japanese plane must be heading for our airport, but it doesn't take 30 planes to blow up the airport, right?"
After catching the Japanese intelligence personnel, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also knew that Zhaojiayu Airport had been exposed.
The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment do not have as strong a fighting force as the New First Regiment, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the four divisions. When the Japanese invade the base area, it will be a matter of time before the Zhaojiayu Airport is exposed.
However, Li Yunlong ordered a trap to be set for the Japanese plane.
He removed all the ground staff from the airport and replaced them with machine guns and anti-aircraft guns from the machine gun and anti-aircraft gun battalions.
These two battalions were hidden around the airport, weaving a fire net, waiting for Japanese planes to bomb at any time.
Li Yunlong's expression also changed: "No, the Japanese planes are probably going to blow up all the villages near Zhaojiayu Airport."
The airport is only one kilometer away from Zhaojiayu. With so many Japanese planes dispatched, Zhaojiayu Village must also be within the bombing range.
"Old Zhao, hurry up and call the soldiers and villagers in each village to enter the air raid shelters."
After speaking to Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong shouted out the door: "Huzi!"
"arrive!"
Huang Erhu ran in from outside the door, straightened his body and responded loudly.
Li Yunlong ordered loudly: "Immediately cover Boss Chen and Master Yan as they enter the air-raid shelter."
Li Yunlong understood clearly that Chen Feng was very important to both the New Regiment and the Eighth Route Army, and nothing could happen to him.
"Boss Chen, please come with me."
Huang Erhu puffed up his chest and said to Chen Feng, looking somewhat honored.
"Go here." Li Yunlong pointed at the kang.
"yes."
Huang Erhu moved the kang table down and lifted up the quilt and bed board. There was a ladder underneath, connected to the tunnel.
At this time, Chen Feng didn't talk too much and asked Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to come down quickly after finishing their work, and then took Yan Shuangying into the tunnel.
The calls to the regiment headquarters were made one by one.
Ding ding ding - the clear bells set up at the commanding heights of each village rang.
In normal times, soldiers stationed in each village would organize mass air defense drills every now and then.
Although there is no air raid siren, bells can be used instead of air raid sirens to ensure that everyone in every household can hear them.
As the bell rang, both the new regiment of soldiers and the people in the village reacted instantly and ran towards the tunnel entrance or air-raid shelter entrance.
The soldiers ran calmly and calmly, and the crowd did not panic much. They took the elderly and children to find tunnels or air-raid shelters in an orderly manner, and there was no fight for hiding positions.
They have rehearsed this set of actions dozens of times regarding hiding in tunnels and air-raid shelters after the Japanese planes arrived.
Very familiar.
Although the tunnel is not as strong as the air raid shelter and may be blown down, the tunnel is connected to the air raid shelter and you can enter the air raid shelter along the tunnel.
Less than a minute after everyone entered the tunnels and air-raid shelters, a buzzing roar sounded in the sky.
The Japanese plane has arrived!
30 Japanese aircraft entered the Zhaojiayu airspace in a neat combat formation, led by Lieutenant Colonel Haruhei Kunieda.
"Bomb as planned!" Kunieda Haruhei ordered over the radio.
Immediately, the Japanese aircraft platoon suddenly dispersed, with 0 planes and 3 planes forming a combat formation, searching for nearby villages for bombing.
The other 10 planes flew straight towards the airport in a fighter group.
It didn't take long for the Japanese plane to see its target.
However, the Japs' pilots did not dare to dive bomb at low altitudes. The new regiment's anti-aircraft firepower was so powerful that such a small number of aircraft would not be enough.
The Japanese bomber pilots pressed the bomb release button one after another at high altitude, and the aerial bombs hanging under the wings and belly of the aircraft suddenly fell densely like dumplings.
In the air defense battalion headquarters on the left side of the airport, the battalion commander He Jie stared at the Japanese planes in the sky with a stern expression: "You damn fool, this little plane dares to bomb the airport. Give me the order and let me fight!"
"Boom boom…"
"Boom boom…"
The 31 37mm anti-aircraft guns and more than 300 0mm machine guns of the machine gun battalion and the air defense battalion began rapid fire.
Anti-aircraft shells of two calibers instantly rose into the sky, densely packed with dark red ballistics filling the sky.
Among the basic ammunition deposits given by Boss Chen, ammunition for anti-aircraft guns and machine guns is naturally indispensable. With a basic amount of ammunition in hand, the soldiers will naturally give up the ammunition.
The Japanese pilots were also shocked. They expected that there must be eight-way anti-aircraft firepower around the airport, but they did not expect that the anti-aircraft firepower would be so large and powerful.
Before the aerial bomb hit the ground, a Japanese plane trembled rapidly and was hit by machine gun shells or anti-aircraft artillery shrapnel. It disintegrated in the air and fell.
Amidst the explosions that shook the earth and the mountains, the aerial bomb finally fell on the airport.
Since the bombs were dropped at a high altitude, the accuracy of the bombs was not high. However, the Japanese were willing to spend money on the Eighth Route Army Airport this time and dispatched more bombers. Still, more than a dozen aerial bombs landed on the runway of the airport, blowing the airport into pieces.
A sea of fire.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The battle was very short. After the Japanese planes bombed the airport, 4 were shot down and 1 plane was damaged. The injured plane was covered by the other 4 planes.
Then he flew away without looking back.
The other 0 aircraft were not attacked by the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower.
After dropping aerial bombs in the villages around the airport, fly toward the northeast.
After it was confirmed that the Japanese plane had left, the Eighth Route Army and the masses who had been hiding in the air-raid shelter came out one after another.
Seeing Zhaojiayu Village turned into a sea of flames, the people were on the verge of tears. Although most of the food and property were stored in the tunnels, they felt uncomfortable seeing the house being blown up.
Yang Xiuqin stood in the crowd with a worried look on her face. She was relieved when she saw that Li Yunlong was safe and sound.
Then she saw Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying next to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and looked at them curiously.
But Li Yunlong wanted to laugh: "Hahaha... trading dozens of houses for dozens of Japanese aerial bombs is a huge profit."
Zhao Gang saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the crowd, and quickly said loudly: "This little devil's aerial bomb was not blown by strong winds. Our houses can be rebuilt after being bombed. Little Japan is resource-poor, and every aerial bomb dropped means one less one."
, please rest assured, fellow villagers, our Eighth Route Army will definitely help everyone rebuild their houses."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong and said loudly: "Our Commander Li said that in the villages bombed by Japanese planes, every household in the villages that were bombed by Japanese planes would receive a subsidy of 0 kilograms of white flour and 50 kilograms of canned meat!"
"Thank you, Captain Li!"
"Thank you, Captain Li!"
"..."
The common people looked at Li Yunlong and suddenly showed gratitude.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gang took the opportunity to take the lead in shouting a wave of slogans: "Down with Japanese imperialism, China will not fall."
In an instant, the loss and sadness of the villagers were transformed into high-spirited emotions.
In fact, the requirements of the people at that time were really simple, as long as they had something to eat.
If they are well fed, clothed and warm, and have hope for the future, how many people will put their heads in their belts to revolutionize and rebel?
Soon, news came from the airport's machine gun battalion and air defense battalion that four Japanese planes were shot down, but the runway was blown up.
This was what Li Yunlong expected. Anyway, a basic amount of ammunition has been transported. The next battle will be wartime airdrops. The ammunition will be airdropped directly to various positions, and the airport is no longer needed.
Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng, who was standing aside, and said with an apologetic tone: "Brother Chen, I'm really sorry. I was only halfway through the wine when the Japanese plane arrived. Wait until next time. Next time, Brother Zhao, I will make sure to
Please accompany me."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Feng said, "Come on, brother Li. Once your regiment has fighter jets, the little devil's planes won't dare to be so rampant."
With a laugh, Captain Li was full of energy and said: "I will work hard and strive to own an airplane as soon as possible. The little devil's airplane is the younger brother in front of Brother Chen's airplane."
"You and Brother Zhao should be very busy today, so I'll take my leave first!" Chen Feng said after looking at the village that was almost in ruins.
At this stage, he had nothing to do with the Japanese planes, but fortunately, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were experienced and had already thought of this day, so they built tunnels and air-raid shelters in advance, and there were almost no casualties.
After Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang sent Chen Feng away, they returned to the village and gathered soldiers to help clean up the bombed village.
the next day.
Ding Wei, leader of the New Second Regiment, and Kong Jie, leader of the Independent Regiment, sent telegrams saying that the ferry along the Yellow River had been bombed by Japanese planes. Fortunately, they listened to Li Yunlong and hid all the boats at the ferry in advance.
It was bombed but the boat was still there. In addition, during this period, local organizations mobilized the masses to build many boats.
Both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang realized that the Japanese plane was a big trouble.
Since the Japanese did not place the planes at Datong and Taiyuan airports, the mountain artillery arranged in advance could not work.
Once ordinary people cross the Yellow River ferry, they will definitely be bombed by Japanese planes.
In order to enable the people to retreat smoothly, Li Yunlong, together with Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou, decided to do a bloody battle before the sweep!
