Chapter 308: Airport Assault
Taiyuan Airport is more than two kilometers away from the outer city of Taiyuan City, and a military fortress completely isolated in Taiyuan City.
Cheng Xiao took the Guard Battalion, Cavalry Company, and the Artillery Battalion and Artillery Company to get to the nearest of several games at 10 o'clock in the evening.
"The Brigade Commander, there are mines and barbed wire everywhere in several other directions. It is very difficult to touch it quietly!"
"Then let's attack head-on!" Cheng Xiao made a decision without much hesitation!
"The entire airport's garrison and air defense forces have a total of more than 1,000 people. We have so many field artillery, and we only hit the airport tonight, so we have time to clean up and consume them!"
"Architecturers, aim at all the artillery towers and commanding heights around a few games, kill the Japanese inside, and cover the guard battalion and kill in!"
"Boom!" The six field cannons roared a lot shortly after a long time. The violent sound of cannons instantly broke the tranquility of Taiyuan City and reached everyone's ears in Taiyuan City.
The six shells with a scream directly hit the two bunkers that the Japanese had erected at the entrance of several battles.
In the violent explosion, the brick and stone artillery tower was instantly blown to pieces, and was buried in the ruins together with the Japanese inside.
"Yes, that's it, one by one, one by one!" Cheng Xiao was very satisfied with the performance of the field artillery company.
"Woo woo woo woo woo!" As soon as he finished speaking, a harsh alarm sounded at the airport.
In an instant, the airport, covered by night, was brightly lit with only a few stars and lights.
"Brig Commander, all the Japanese have come out and are gunning towards the positions around the airport!" Zhong Yusheng, the commander of the guard battalion beside Cheng Xiao, said with a look of eagerness to remind him.
"The artillery continues to fire, and the guard battalion presses forward. Use your firepower to kill the Japanese on the runway. Don't rush to fight to the death when you encounter resistance. We have cannons in our hands and enough shells. Just use the cannon to bombard them with them!"
"Yes, brigade commander!" Zhong Yusheng, who rarely goes to the battlefield, answered immediately.
Then he personally held a machine gun, loaded the bullet, and shouted with a wave of his hand.
"Follow me on the guard battalion, the machine gun is on the head, let the Japanese taste what firepower advantage is!"
After saying that, Cheng Xiao led his troops to the gate of the airport that was bombed into ruins.
The Independent Brigade is the best equipped unit in the military region, and the Guard Battalion is the best equipped unit in the Independent Brigade.
When the main force had only one machine gun, the guard battalion had reached the configuration of two machine guns for the infantry platoon.
When passing through the defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinzhou, all the machine guns seized by the troops were strengthened to the guard battalion, directly reaching the luxurious configuration of the infantry squad and the airport.
As soon as Zhong Yusheng charged, more than 30 machine gunners in the battalion followed immediately with their hands in cleaning.
"Baga, the enemy has begun to attack. Enter the position quickly and must block them!" Behind the ruins of the artillery tower, seventy or eighty Japanese rush over with rifles and light machine guns, holding them.
Zhong Yusheng and the guard battalion rushed towards the airport gate. Whoever took the airport gate that had been bombed into ruins first would have the potential to take the battlefield in the subsequent battle.
Finally, the two troops met in the ruins.
When the enemy met, they were very jealous. The Japanese led the squadron leader, pulled out the command knife and shouted: "Fire the gun, fight the enemy with bayonets, and drive the enemy out!"
The Japanese picked up the rifle and wanted to shoot with the light machine gun.
When he said that, Zhong Yusheng, who was holding a machine gun in his hand, did not give orders, and he began to hold the fire as soon as he saw the Japanese.
The machine gunner next to him also hugged the fire, and more than 30 light machine guns were fired together. The whizzing bullets suddenly woven into an airtight bullet net in front of the Japanese.
Many Japanese men just raised their rifles and the bolts were not pulled, and the bullets shot in the face drove him into a hornet's nest!
"Baga, the offensive firepower of the Tujiao Route is too strong. Lean down and shoot and block them!" The Japanese squadron leader who lost nearly half of his troops as soon as he fought and suffered a great loss immediately realized that fighting hard was not a solution, and then changed to defense.
However, Zhong Yusheng's reaction was faster.
"Cover the grenade, keep rushing forward!" Zhong Yusheng ordered while hugging the fire.
"The machine gunner in front has died, and the one behind has been added. The machine gun fire cannot stop, so you can enter the airport. Comrades, continue to rush with me!"
"Boom boom boom..." As soon as the order was released, an explosion rang out among the Japanese.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and the high-explosive grenade easily smashed into the Japanese and exploded.
Taking advantage of the time when the Japanese were struggling and screaming in the explosion, Zhong Yusheng rushed forward immediately.
"Run in! Brigade Commander, the guard battalion has entered several games!" A guard beside Cheng Xiao shouted excitedly.
"Give Battalion Commander Zhong a signal, the guard battalion dispersed assault and try to kill as many Japanese as possible!" A hint of excitement flashed across Cheng Xiao's face, and then he quickly returned to calm down and continued to have a serious order on his face.
"Order the artillery to follow, get close to the fire, and provide artillery support to the guard battalion!"
"The cavalry company also kills in! The airport shells are most suitable for cavalry mobile charges. Tell Ma Ronghe that after fighting this battle, the cavalry company will expand its cavalry battalion after returning, and he will become the battalion commander!"
At the airport tower, the garrison captain rushed in in a messy clothes, and looked down at the airport and saw the airport rushing wildly, like entering a guard camp without a man.
"Bageya Road, why is the enemy's offensive firepower so strong! How come they are equipped with so many light machine guns!"
"The second squadron heads up and blocks the Eighth Route Army on the right side of the runway for a few games! The third squadron blocks the left side, and the fourth squadron defends for a few games!"
The command of the garrison captain finally stopped several chaos, and the assault of the guard battalion also slowed down under the strong firepower of the Japanese army.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves like thunder suddenly rang behind the guard camp.
"It's cavalry, comrades, we're here to reinforce the cavalry company!" Zhong Yusheng reacted immediately, and his frown just now stretched out.
"The machine guns are all fired, attracting all the Japanese firepower to cover the cavalry company's assault!"
The Japanese squadron leader on the opposite side turned pale after a flash. On the solid runway, it was very difficult to even dig a hole.
Now more than a hundred subordinates are lying on the ground to fight. Once the cavalry is rushed over, the subordinates who have no position to cover them will have the fate of being massacred in front of the cavalry.
The squadron leader, who was unwilling to fail, shouted with a last glimmer of hope: "Shoot, everyone shoots, block the Eighth Route Army cavalry, otherwise we will all die!"
However, under the crazy strafing of ten machine guns in the Guard Battalion, the six machine guns they equipped were already pressed tightly and could not shoot with all their strength.
Although the sporadic bullets fired by the riflemen caused some casualties to the cavalry, the main force of the cavalry company was still there, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, holding a saber and yelling at them.
