...Kong Jie and Li Yunlong used this move to hide the enemy. With the assistance of brothers from the 120th Division and the Yanbei Detachment, they deployed two main armored forces in the direction of Houhe and Zhangjiakou, temporarily paralyzing the Japanese army's judgment.<

/p>

As for the purpose, on the one hand, it is to make the Japanese army completely lose the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army.

There will be no subsequent retaliation with air force firepower.

On the other hand.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong also have special battle plans.

What are you doing?

Sneak attack on the Japanese Wuchagou Airport!

The prerequisites at this time are fully mature. First of all, before the start of this battle, the mobile howitzer unit specially prepared by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong has successfully locked the specific location of Wuchagou Airport and successfully targeted the Japanese.

The airport conducted a wave of long-range artillery raids.

In addition, the Nanzhi tank group and the Blackwood tank brigade, which were originally active in the western Inner Mongolia area at this time and assisted in the garrison, were successively defeated by the Eighth Route Army armored forces.

Even Baotou has fallen into the hands of the 35th Route Army.

Near Wuchagou Airport, the Japanese army is still heavily guarded. These troops are mainly troops stationed in Mongolia that have withdrawn from the direction of Baotou, including a large number of infantry and motorized cavalry groups.

This Japanese army has a lot of troops. If it were just regular Eighth Route Army infantry, it would be difficult to break through their external blockade and capture Wuchagou Airport.

But what Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led were not conventional troops, but the most elite armored troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they came with the power of the Nanzhi and Blackwood Chariot troops who defeated the Japanese army.

There is also an indirect cover that hides the truth.

At this time, the mobile troops of the 120th Division attacking Houhe and the mobile troops of the Yanbei Detachment appearing outside Zhangjiakou had made the Japanese mistakenly believe that the main force of the Eighth Route Army's armored forces was preparing to further advance after defeating the Blackwood Chariot Brigade.

Capture Houhe and Zhangjiakou areas.

"If we attack Wuchagou Airport at this time, the Japs will definitely be caught off guard!"

When discussing the matter at the temporary headquarters, Li Yunlong said.

Lao Li's eyes were almost red with envy at this time, "What a good old man! Did you come up with the idea of ​​Wuchagou Airport early in the morning?

Don't think I don't know, your detachment has secretly built an air force base a long time ago. I also heard that a few days ago you asked Duan Peng and the others to get Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle of the US Army Air Force to your detachment.

If we can successfully capture Wuchagou Airport this time, wouldn’t all the fighters and bombers of this little devil have gone into your pocket, Lao Kong?”

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you must feed it.

Faced with Li Yunlong's sour words, Kong Jie smiled and said:

"Old Li, look at what you said. What's yours and mine is not all ours. What kind of relationship do we have with our old comrades, not to mention that we are still the first and second leaders of Huasheng Company.

When this plane arrives at my place, it is the same as when it arrives at your place. Whenever you, Mr. Li, need air force reinforcements, just make a phone call and I, Mr. Kong, will send my air force troops there for you.

Think about how majestic it is!

From now on, your new second regiment, as well as the mobile unit led by you, Lao Li, will also have air force reinforcements!"

When Li Yunlong thought about it, this was indeed the truth, and he immediately smiled happily.

What Kong Jie is most coveted at this time is the few medium bombers and two heavy bombers that appeared in the Japanese flying group not long ago.

Captain Kong, who has a different background, once captured the Wuchagou Airport, he was not the same as the regular troops. He could only blow up the Japanese airport and destroy all the Japanese planes.

When setting off this time, Kong Jie specially prepared a reserve pilot unit, waiting to seize the Japanese plane and fly it back to him!

Except for the lack of aircraft, various maintenance tools and fuel officers have been prepared in advance.

This is the power of a team. If you capture the Japanese machine gun, you can use the machine gun. If you capture the Japanese tank, you can fly the tank. Now if you capture the Japanese plane, you can still fly the plane.

Even as early as half a year ago, Kong Jie had already arranged for relevant members to prepare relevant information on the Japanese and puppet Wuchagou Airport.

This included the exact aviation route from the Wuchagou Airport of the Japanese and puppet troops to the secret airport prepared by his team.

For this reason, Kong Jie even purchased some more advanced navigation instruments from some American airlines through John.

To ensure that after the Japanese aircraft is captured, it can be accurately driven back to the aviation base of the first team.

……

The final combat plan was named Operation Thunder by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Under the leadership of the mobile howitzer unit that successfully attacked the Japanese and puppet Wuchagou Airport.

With the mobility of the armored forces and lightning speed, they directly broke through the layers of defense lines set up by the Japanese army outside Wuchagou Airport, then captured the Japanese and puppet troops at Wuchagou Airport, quickly seized supplies and fighter planes, and conducted follow-up evacuation.

.

At this time, no one from all forces, including the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek army and other forces, would have thought of it.

In the confrontation with the Japanese tank troops, after successively defeating the Japanese tank clusters and tank brigade, the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army did not suffer much losses at all.

The soldiers are still in good spirits, and the chariots are still in good condition.

With high-speed maneuverability, the tank quickly rushed towards Wuchagou Airport according to the established route.

In addition, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong specially arranged a disguised combat plan this time.

The armored troops advancing first were specially disguised as Japanese tank troops.

Various modified tanks, self-propelled artillery, and assault guns did not show up. Instead, various light and medium tanks captured by the Japanese army were displayed, and then all the soldiers were asked to put on the uniforms of the Japanese tank troops. The leading soldiers also

Speak fluent Japanese.

In this way, they disguised themselves as Japanese tank troops and headed towards Wuchagou Airport.

Everything went seamlessly.

When such a mighty armored force appeared in front of us, some of the artillery and cavalry cooperating with it were wearing Japanese military uniforms, and all of them were equipped with Japanese-style weapons.

The Japanese troops stationed along the way had no suspicion at all.

They had just received the news that the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army was fighting in the Houhe and Zhangjiakou areas. How could they end up here?

The soldiers of a team are very skilled in this type of camouflage combat.

After successfully gaining trust and entering the Japanese and puppet defense fortifications, the soldiers suddenly took action and immediately took control of the Japanese communication room.

In the end, after this brief and unsuspicious surprise battle, the Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out, and the Japanese did not even have time to convey the news that the fortifications had been attacked.

Then, the disguise master from the Communications Department will take the next step.

After mastering the communication codes of the Japanese and puppet troops based on the successfully captured code book, they directly passed the message to the Japanese and puppet troops' radio station in the Ministry of Communications to the Japanese's next line of defense headquarters.

Say hello first:

The imperial tank troops have passed our defense line and are advancing towards your defense line. Please be prepared to respond.

In this way, when the soldiers disguised as Japanese tank troops drove tanks and successfully arrived at the next line of defense of the Japanese and puppet troops, they naturally did not face any doubts because they had greeted them in advance.

Then repeat the previous battle.

Using this method, when the soldiers reached the outskirts of the Japanese and puppet Wuchagou Airport, the sky was completely dark.

The final battle is just around the corner.

Kong Jie, who was sitting at the headquarters, was inevitably a little excited. After all, the planes parked at the airport were waiting for him!

"We must not alert the enemy. We specially arranged for a few commandos to get in first. It is still the same old rule. First, control the Japanese communications department in the airport. It is best to capture the entire airport at night, and the news cannot be leaked."

"Early tomorrow morning, after we send out the disguised message through the airport, we will immediately drive the captured aircraft back to our base!"

This is the battle plan set by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Taking off at night is too dangerous after all.

It’s night!

Groups of elite assault troops of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the cover of night to infiltrate the Japanese and puppet troops' Wuchagou Airport.

After the fighting suddenly broke out, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed at the airport were caught off guard.

Each communication room was immediately controlled again.

The surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army was powerful and well-equipped. The Japanese and puppet troops were no match for them. The Japanese commander who was in charge of garrisoning the airport managed to escape by covering a few communications soldiers in a desperate effort.

"Be sure to pass the news on. Wuchagou Airport was raided by elite troops of the Eighth Route Army. Request reinforcements as soon as possible!"

The Japanese commander confessed in despair.

His heart was full of horror. He never thought that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly appear here and attack the airport so quietly.

What are the numerous fortifications on the outside used for?

The only thing he can do now is to deliver the news in time.

Unfortunately, the communications room was immediately controlled by the Eighth Route Army. The few little devils who escaped could only escape in a hurry on a few war horses, and then find a way to deliver the message.

It's just that this way of delivering messages is too slow.

By the time a few Japanese messengers rode up on war horses to report the news, it was already close to dawn the next day.

The Japanese commanders were furious when they learned that Wuchagou Airport had been raided by Eighth Route Army troops at night and had completely fallen.

Jutaro Amakasu, who was stationed at the headquarters of the Mongolian Army, heard the news that Wuchagou Airport had been captured. He slumped down in his armchair and felt as if the sky was falling.
