Chapter 632 Occupation of the Airport
If just now we were strafing the Japanese with anti-aircraft machine guns in the tower like cutting wheat, then now the bullets were targeting the Japanese one by one like playing whack-a-mole, whoever showed his head would be shot to death.
Twenty minutes later, the little Japanese soldiers who had been jumping around like mice in heat turned into big caterpillars, lying on the ground motionless.
Duan Peng chuckled and said, since you are lying on the ground pretending to be dead, I will make you become a dead dog completely.
"Close range shooting!"
The Eighth Squad and the Ninth Squad began to take turns providing cover and pressed towards the Japanese on both sides of the infantry artillery positions.
Abe Taiji discovered that the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces were approaching step by step, but there was nothing he could do except open his mouth and shout, command the soldiers to shout and fire a shot, and then be shot in the head.
After all, their weapons and the level of training of their soldiers are far behind.
Seeing that the remaining one hundred or so soldiers were gradually becoming dead souls killed by the bullets of the Liangshan Special Forces, he could no longer suppress the grievance in his heart.
Abe Taiji half-knelt on the ground and raised his command knife:
"For the honor of the Empire! Aboard!"
But before he could put down his raised command knife, a bullet pierced through his forehead, sending the three words "kill, kill" to hell for him.
Without Abe Taiji's restraint, the Japs began to loosen up, like an infectious disease, one Japs took away a small group, a small group of Japs took away a large group, and in an instant the remaining twenty or so Japs threw away their rifles and ran north.
But no matter how fast they run, can they be faster than large-caliber sniper bullets?
As these Japanese soldiers ran, they found that their bodies and legs were separated into two parts, and as they ran, they found that their heads were missing.
"Infantry artillery, continue to support the battle at the airport!"
"Yes!"
Duan Peng was always on the sandbags at the infantry artillery position, and then he called the communications soldier and contacted the small team at the tower.
"How's the tower?"
"Captain, everything went well! Judging from the scene, the threat from the Japanese has been basically eliminated. Next, prepare to clean the runway to welcome our plane!"
With the response from the tower, Duan Peng can now be sure that the first phase of the battle is over.
Now we have entered the second stage, which is to expand the defense line to ensure that the independent column's aircraft can land safely at Xilinhot Airport.
According to the schedule, it is estimated that the independent column's plane will land at the airport in about ten minutes.
"I order a shift from defense to offense. In addition to leaving necessary firepower points on the high ground, the rest of the soldiers of each squad will advance in all directions to ensure the safe landing of the plane!"
"okay!"
The soldiers could no longer hold back. This positional battle was not exciting enough. The strength of their Liangshan Special Forces was attacking, and they had to attack all the time!
The first squad stayed at the tower, the third squad stayed at the battalion headquarters, and the tenth squad stayed at the infantry artillery position.
The rest of the teams, according to the established plan, advanced in all directions to ensure that the Japanese fighters' firepower could not reach the planes on the runway.
Faced with the open area, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the blind spot of shooting were ready to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Liangshan Special Forces.
Who would have thought that the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces threw out several grenades in succession. These grenades did not explode violently, but just made a slight "bang" sound, releasing extremely thick smoke that instantly covered half of the sky.
The Japanese were completely panicked. They had been planning to shoot from behind, but when they saw this, they just farted. Isn't this bullying?
Therefore, they could only use their pitiful Type 38 rifles to fire at the large cloud of smoke. As for whether they could gather the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces, that all depended on God's will.
However, the Japanese are playing with probability, but the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces will not play abstract games with you. After getting close, they will directly throw grenades at you, and then rush to a close place like ghosts in the thick fog, and open fire "da da da".
The Japanese soldiers near the barbed wire were completely cleared out. As for the puppet soldiers who were hoping for a miracle just now, when they saw this situation, they threw their guns away, squatted on the ground, and prepared to accept prisoners.
Ten minutes later, the Liangshan Special Forces had taken control of the airport and built a defensive position using the barbed wire as the boundary.
But now they no longer have any enemies to defend themselves against. After all, they have killed almost a battalion of the Japanese troops and captured half a battalion of puppet troops. That's all the defenders of Xilinhot!
The roar of an airplane could be heard in the sky. Duan Peng looked up and gave an order:
"Send a signal and command the plane to land!"
The soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces raised a red flag above the tower and then released a green smoke bomb.
The three fighter jets flew around the field, conducted visual observations, and then continued to take off for alert. It was the turn of the four transport planes to land at Xilinhot Airport one after another.
As soon as the planes came to a complete stop and the cabin doors opened, dozens of soldiers came out from the belly of each plane, carrying weapon and ammunition boxes, and then quickly filled the barbed wire defense line.
These are soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion directly under the First Army Group. They were the first echelon airlifted to Xilinhot with the purpose of helping the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces consolidate their defense line and ensure the smooth arrival of follow-up troops.
Four transport planes took off again and flew away from Xilinhot Airport.
Seeing that the defense line was completely stabilized, Duan Peng ordered the signalman to send a telegram to Wang Meng in Hohhot:
"Report to Chief of Staff Wang, the Liangshan Special Forces of the Independent Column and the First Echelon of the First Army Reconnaissance Battalion have consolidated the Xilinhot Airport and can proceed to the next step!"
After hearing the news, Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief. He finally took over Xilinhot Airport!
The success of this special operations proved that the special operations team he and Lin Shubing formed was now able to stand on its own and carry out missions independently.
"Order, the First Army will clean up the perimeter of Xilinhot Airport and completely control Xilinhot!"
At this time, Lieutenant Yamazaki on the second floor of the tower suddenly woke up from his dream.
In just a few hours, the airport had changed hands, and Xilinhot would be completely controlled by the independent column as expected.
"I want to see your captain!"
Lieutenant Yamazaki struggled and screamed hysterically.
Ten minutes later, Lieutenant Yamazaki was brought in front of Duan Peng.
"Come on, what do you want to tell me?"
"I know the location of the mines Captain Abe buried outside Xilinhot Airport, and the location of the bombs placed in the city of Xilinhot!"
Duan Peng took a breath when he heard it.
He must have known that there were mines outside Xilinhot, because the intelligence had repeatedly mentioned that many villagers had mistakenly entered the minefield and were killed, and many old oxen had entered the minefield and were blown to pieces.
However, he really didn't know that there was a bomb in the city of Xilinhot.
