At one o'clock in the morning, the bustling Peiping Airport returned to silence again.
Huang Yu led more than a thousand soldiers in three groups, slowly approaching the airport defense line, and finally stopped at a distance of about 200 meters.
"Rumble..."
A roar of cars suddenly sounded on the road connecting the airport, and then a row of car lights appeared on the road shrouded in darkness, quickly approaching the airport.
Although the kid guarding the entrance and exit of the airport was very confused, he didn't know why there was a transport team coming to the airport now.
It is assumed that there are no enemies in the Pingjin area, and even if there were enemies, they would not be equipped with cars.
Although the alert was immediately heightened, everyone focused on the approaching convoy in front of them. There were even machine gunners who opened the safety and pulled the gun bolt. If the enemy came, they could counterattack as soon as possible without
As for being caught off guard by your opponent.
However, their vigilance was still low and they did not report the incident to the brigade headquarters immediately.
Is there a convoy coming to Peking Airport tonight? As long as the airport garrison brigade makes a call to the front army headquarters, everything will be clear.
Of course, Huang Yu had already prepared countermeasures for this kind of accident.
The telephone line connecting the airport to Peiping had been cut off ten minutes ago. Even if the airport guard wanted to contact Peiping by phone, they had no choice but to send a telegram.
Sending a telegram obviously takes much longer than making a direct phone call. After all, it takes time to translate messages, send and receive messages...
Perhaps the airport garrison has not yet figured out the situation of the convoy from the North China Front Army Headquarters, and the troops have already taken control of Peiping Airport.
"Stop for inspection..." Mr. Cao, a prisoner guarding the airport gate, stood in the middle of the road and signaled the convoy to stop.
"We are from the Tianjin Wharf Baggage Regiment. We have been ordered to replenish ammunition to the airport and release it immediately..."
Duan Peng was sitting in the passenger seat of the first military vehicle. He stuck his head out of the window, took out his captured Japanese Lieutenant Certificate, and spoke in very proficient Japanese to the kid Cao Chang who was blocking the road.
Seeing that the person leading the convoy was a lieutenant, whose military rank was one level higher than that of his squad leader, Cao Chang quickly walked over for fear of offending him.
"Sir, calm down..."
"The Tianjin area is not peaceful at present. The chief asked us to strictly inspect all convoys and personnel entering and leaving the airport. I am also acting under orders..."
"Besides, I didn't receive any notification that a convoy was coming to the airport tonight, so I just asked more questions."
While speaking, Cao Chang kept his eyes on Duan Peng's opened military officer's ID card.
After confirming that there was no problem, the complimenting smile on his face became thicker: "Sir, please wait a moment. I have to check the things on the car..."
"We are all following orders, there is no other way..."
Duan Peng replied readily: "No problem, but you have to go faster"
"You just said that the Tianjin area is not peaceful..."
"If I finish delivering the things earlier, I can return to the dock earlier, and I won't have to worry about it on the way..."
Duan Peng's straightforward answer made Guizi Cao let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time let go of the last bit of caution in his heart.
In his opinion, the identity of the other party was not a problem, and the fact that he was so open-minded about allowing him to inspect the carriage meant that there was no problem with this transportation.
The reason why I didn't receive the message must be that something went wrong above.
After all, Beijing and Tianjin are very unstable now, with wars happening everywhere.
It is not a big deal for a transport team to transport ammunition supplies to Peking Airport. It is normal for it to be ignored by superiors.
I was just about to call my subordinates to inspect the carriage.
“Boom, boom, boom… da da da…”
A fierce exchange of fire suddenly sounded around the airport.
He also received two shells at the entrance and exit of the airport. Bullets flew over in a hail of bullets, killing several of his subordinates in an instant.
Commander Cao suddenly panicked and shouted quickly: "The enemy is attacking..."
"Enter the position..."
"Resolutely block the enemies who want to sneak attack us, quickly..."
"What should we do?" Seeing the little devils who were about to inspect the carriage retreating towards the door, Duan Peng seized the opportunity and shouted: "Baga..."
"You are all gone, what will happen to my convoy?"
"Are you waiting to be wiped out by the enemy at the airport gate?"
Captain Cao no longer bothered to check the carriage, and Duan Peng's cheerfulness just now made him completely put down his guard and ordered without hesitation: "Open the horse..."
"Let them enter the airport..."
"Others enter the position..."
Duan Peng looked happy and ordered the driver to enter the airport on the spot and go straight to the airport garrison.
Once there, the troops can quickly seize the apron and use the eight military vehicles they harvested to build a temporary defense line to block all Japanese and puppet troops who want to approach the apron.
The Japanese tank troops stationed at the airport have left. Without tank cover, it is impossible to break through the temporary defense line built by the assault company and eight transport vehicles with just a group of infantry.
…………
Peking Airport Garrison Headquarters.
Not long after he fell asleep, the captain was awakened by the sudden sound of firefights around the airport. He opened his mouth and began to curse, feeling very bad.
"Bagaya road, I won't let you live."
"In the first half of the night, chariot troops were mobilized to reinforce Bazhou. Just after they went to bed, the airport was attacked again."
"Didn't the headquarters say that they are confident that they can stop the Yizhong Eighth Route Army heading north to Pingjin in Bazhou? Then where did the attackers who suddenly appeared around the airport come from?"
Despite the scolding, the little Japanese captain did not lose his mind because of this.
After putting on his military uniform, he cursed and rushed to the war room. Before he arrived, he saw the deputy captain on duty rushing towards him with a panic-stricken face, and almost collided with him.
"team leader……"
"The east, south, and north sides of the airport were all attacked by unknown armed forces. The opponent was equipped with a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns, and their assault capabilities were very strong. We only deployed two infantry squads in each direction of the airport, and they would definitely not be able to hold on for long.
"
"Boom boom boom..."
Another series of violent explosions reached the captain's ears, making him tremble and rush to the airport control podium.
It is located in the center of the airport and has a high location. With the help of a telescope, you can clearly see every corner of the airport.
After a quick glance around, the captain's face turned pale.
In order to prevent enemies from sneak attacks on the airport, the airport garrison built nearly ten towers around the airport. Each tower was equipped with a light and heavy machine gun. This allowed the guard post to see further and attack the enemy from a high position.
As a result, the nearly ten towers that the captain had high hopes for were attacked together as if they had been discussed, and turned into balls of orange fireballs.
Without the fire cover provided by those towers, the troops stationed at the airport defense line lost nearly half of their supporting firepower, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply.
A large amount of sweat quickly appeared on the captain's pale face.
