"Comrades, since this battle is a protracted one, we need to eat up the little devils in Beiping City bit by bit. You must know who we are. We are the Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army. Let us know who we are.
The little devil has always been afraid of the independent division. Therefore, we must have confidence to capture the entire city of Beiping..."
"In addition, I want to tell you some good news. This time, when our independent division attacked Beiping City, not only Chairman Mao and the Central Military Commission in Yan'an were watching us, but the whole world was watching us and the performance of our independent division.
...So, we must have the confidence to capture the entire Tianjin city..." Finally, under Liu Hua's encouragement, each of the commanders sitting under Liu Hua immediately raised their heads, with a trace of light in their eyes.
An excited look.
"Commander, just give the order. Our independent division will always be the nemesis of the little Japanese. No matter how strong the little Japanese's defenses are, even if we hit them with our own heads, we will still open a gap for him and rush into the city.
"Destroy all the little devils..." Luo Zhihui, the commander of the second brigade, stood up in a hurry and said excitedly.
"Haha, Brigadier Luo, don't be anxious. I will assign the mission to you shortly... Comrades, based on the enemy's deployment detected by our scouts, I have decided that our first attack target will be at
The airport of the little Japanese should be solved first. It is the airport that poses the greatest threat to us in the siege campaign. Only if the little Japanese loses air reinforcements can we launch an attack on Peiping without any worries. I don’t know what everyone thinks about this issue.
Do you have any comments?" Regarding Luo Zhihui's answer, Liu Hua smiled, pointed at the huge map in front of him, and said affirmatively.
"No objection... We have no objection... Commander, we have no objection. Just give the order directly..." Immediately, everyone's excited voices rang out in the entire command headquarters... Everyone rushed to answer, hoping that Liu Hua in front of him would
, being able to hand over the main attack mission to your own troops...
"Very good. Since everyone's morale is so high, let's first give a big gift to the little devils in the county and occupy the entire airport. Then, use the airport as a breakthrough point to launch a general attack on Taiyuan City. Now I order..."
Liu Hua stood in front of everyone with a serious face and said. In an instant, the command headquarters, which had been extremely lively just now, became slightly silent just after Liu Hua's words fell. All the commanders were holding their heads high.
He looked unblinkingly at the commander Liu Hua who was standing in front of him, preparing to issue specific orders.
"Order, the troops responsible for attacking the airport this time are the directly affiliated heavy artillery regiment, two battalions of the armored brigade, and the directly affiliated column second brigade. The specific task distribution is as follows. The heavy artillery regiment will conduct ten minutes of artillery preparations for the airport based on our specific enemy situation.
Ten minutes later, the Second Brigade, under the cover of 18 tanks of the Armored Brigade, launched a general attack on the airport... My request was very simple, that is, to capture the entire airport before dawn, and at the same time, in order to guard against the little Japs in the airport.
, fled back to Beiping City. Before the battle started, the Second Brigade deployed a main force of troops and inserted directly into the passage between Beiping and the airport to cut off the escape route of the little Japs." Liu Hua ordered loudly amid the expectant eyes of everyone.
"Yes, Commander..." The regiment commanders and brigade commanders who received the order immediately shouted loudly and replied excitedly... However, the commanders and fighters of the Guard Brigade, the Third Brigade, and the Air Defense Brigade were not as excited as they were.
. Everyone's face immediately showed a look of frustration... Then Wang Benqing, the commander of the third brigade, who couldn't hold it in any longer, stood up from his seat and asked Liu Hua in front of him.
"Commander, they have taken away the mission. Where is the mission of our third brigade?"... "Yes, Commander, where is the mission of our air defense brigade..." "Commander, and our security brigade, speaking of it,
Our guard brigade is the most familiar with the enemy situation in the entire Beiping area. Can't you forget about our guard brigade?" The remaining two brigade commanders stood up and asked anxiously.
"
Seeing the expressions of the people in front of him, Liu Hua smiled silently, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone has a mission... Guard Brigade, because you have been fighting for almost a day in a row. So, tonight, I will wrong you.
, serving as the reserve team for the entire campaign... As for the third brigade, each main regiment is equipped with an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, responsible for launching an attack on Beiping City from the three gates of my dear city at the same time. However, here, I want to remind
Your mission is not to capture Beiping City, but to attack the city gate while controlling the casualties of the troops. As for the anti-aircraft artillery assigned to you, during the attack, you use it as a flat-fire cannon.
.I think that with the speed of anti-aircraft artillery shells, there will be absolutely no problem in penetrating the little Japanese bunkers and gun towers."
"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission and control the casualties of the troops..." The remaining dozen or so commanders, except for the three commanders of the guard brigade, all responded with excitement.
road.
"Very well, it is now nine o'clock in the evening. In order to give everyone enough time to prepare for the war, I have set the start of the war at one o'clock in the morning tonight... At that time, I will personally carry out the task of attacking the Japanese airport.
Take command. As for the siege battle, Comrade Wang Benqing, commander of the third brigade, will take command. Do you have any opinions?" Liu Hua said decisively.
"No…."
As the entire combat meeting ended, commanders at all levels immediately returned to their units... As for this battle, the two most important units, the armored brigade and the heavy artillery regiment, immediately began to take action.
...Several grenade heavy artillery pieces, field artillery pieces, and artillery shells weighing dozens of kilograms, slowly arrived in an open area about three kilometers away from the airport thanks to the efforts of the soldiers carrying them shoulder to shoulder.
In order not to alert the Japs in advance, the 18 tanks of the armored brigade were parked in a bush almost two kilometers away from the Japanese security position at the airport... All stations, under the command of brigade commander Yang Jinghua, all
They lined up in a line and formed a frontal attack formation that was almost 200 meters wide. It was best to be prepared to launch an attack at any time...
Similarly, in this battle, the three main regiments of the Second Brigade, which was responsible for the general offensive, except for the fourth regiment, under the command of regiment leader Xu Ying, reached the vicinity of the only road between the airport and the outer city of Beiping, and were ready to cut off the Japanese army's retreat at any time.
In addition to preparations, the remaining two main regiments and 4,000 soldiers were quietly hiding behind the 18 tanks and were ready to charge.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, time passed like this minute by minute... Under the blow of the increasingly cold wind, the little Japanese on guard at the airport and on the walls of Peiping slowly... He began to relax. What's more, he had taken advantage of the commander's lack of attention to sneak back to the barracks quietly, or take a sip to drive away the intense chill that was constantly coming from him. liquor….
However, at this moment, what they did not expect was that more than 10,000 Eighth Route Army troops were hiding around them, waiting for pairs of murderous eyes, staring at their every move. Black barrels, As their figures kept shaking, they kept swinging in a small range... As for the heavy artillery regiment and the air defense brigade, there were dozens of heavy artillery, with their muzzles raised high, like a lion with its mouth open. Same, ready to devour the lives of every little devil.
Finally, after almost three hours of busy preparations, more than 10,000 commanders and fighters were lying in their offensive positions, quietly waiting for the final attack time to arrive. As for Commander Liu Hua, at this moment, He was standing on a small mountain newspaper almost three kilometers away from Peiping City and only two kilometers away from the entire airport. He quietly raised the telescope in his hand and motionlessly observed the lights at the foot of the mountain illuminated by dozens of searchlights. A bright airport…
"What a good flying aircraft. It's such a pity that it will be blown into a pile of scrap metal like this. When will our Eighth Route Army have its own air force... If we have pilots, I will directly order the special operations team Move out and use all the little Japanese planes for your own use..." Looking at the rows of silver-white planes in the airport, Liu Hua sighed deeply and said to Bruce Lee, the commander of the security brigade next to him.
"Commander, I believe that our Eighth Route Army will have its own air force sooner or later. Last time, the central government sent two pilots to the several aircraft we activated at Taiyuan Airport to start teaching. I believe that they will not be used. How long will it take before we will have a large number of pilots..." Bruce Lee replied with a smile.
"You're right. It's still what we lacked in the Red Army. We didn't have looting or cannons, and the enemy gave us early. I believe that as long as we have pilots, the enemy will also build planes for us. Order each The troops must be ready for battle, especially the Second Brigade and the Fourth Regiment. They must cut off the Japanese army's retreat as soon as possible, and then hold their position until the Japanese army at the airport is completely wiped out... In addition, Brigadier Li, in order to strengthen the firepower of the Fourth Regiment, immediately mobilized Two anti-aircraft machine guns connected together. This kind of anti-aircraft machine gun, whether it is responsible for covering or blocking, is a very powerful weapon..." Looking at the watch on his arm, Liu Hua immediately interrupted the topic and pointed at the side. Bruce Lee, sternly ordered...
Dozens of minutes passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, there was less than a minute left until the final total time. At this moment, Liu Hua, standing on the top of the mountain, had a pair of eyes. Staring at the watch on his arm, he was ready to give the order to attack. At the same time, beside Liu Hua, three staff officers, one of whom held a signal gun in his hand, were ready to shoot the bullets in the signal gun into the sky at any time...
Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, it was time to attack. Immediately, an excited smile flashed across the corner of Liu Hua's mouth, and then, to the three staff officers beside him, he urgently ordered: "Open.
Gun... bang bang bang..." Three gunshots sounded, and three flares, with a sharp whistling sound, quickly reached the sky. Then, in the sky, three gorgeous fireworks exploded...
Suddenly, there was a huge roar in the direction of the artillery position. Looking around, the huge artillery position was immediately enveloped in balls of orange-red flames, followed by thick white eyes,
The entire artillery position was completely covered...
The 36 heavy artillery pieces fired 36 shells, with a sharp whistling sound, as if they had eyes, and quickly flew towards the brightly lit Japanese airport at this moment... only a few seconds
In a matter of seconds, these shells, carrying huge kinetic energy, hit the middle of the huge airport hard.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, a burst of dense explosions reached Liu Hua's ears several kilometers away. Then, huge balls of fire rose up from the airport... The airport was still brightly lit just now. In just a moment,
Time, except for the orange-red flames, soon became pitch black...
Under the illumination of the fire, the panicked little Japanese quickly ran out of the barracks and ran over to xiangziji9's position. At the same time, the artillery on the artillery position also quickly moved out under the command of the little Japanese.
Turn the muzzle of the gun and prepare to fight back... However, at this moment, the second round of shells has already followed...
Immediately, the entire airport was engulfed by the rumbling sound of artillery... And within three rounds of artillery fire, one artillery shell happened to fall into the ammunition depot of the airport. Suddenly, there was an earthquake.
A mountain-shaking explosion sounded in the middle of the airport. A warehouse storing thousands of heavy aerial bombs was like a gunpowder magazine, and it exploded instantly...
As for those aerial bombs that had not exploded immediately, driven by the huge air waves generated by the explosion, they quickly fell around the ammunition depot like rain. Thousands of airtight aerial bombs
, in an instant, the uninhabited airport was completely covered. In an instant, the entire airport was plunged into a sea of fire as thousands of aerial bombs exploded simultaneously... At the same time, the oil depot buried several meters deep underground,
Also because of the increasing temperature on the ground, it was quickly ignited, and then, there was a louder explosion...
"Anti-aircraft machine gun company, fire immediately, suppress the Japs' turrets for me. All four regiments are here, charge with me..." Just as three signal flares were launched into the air, the explosion occurred, and they were already concealed within a short distance of the road.
Three hundred meters away, from the position of the fourth regiment, the command of regiment leader Xu Ying came out.
In an instant, the two anti-aircraft machine guns that had just been reinforced and the 18 anti-aircraft machine guns shot out 18 hot tongues of fire immediately gathered on the six shooting holes in the two bunkers blocking the road...In an instant, it was still
The silent shooting holes were struck by bullets as thick as an arm, and were immediately blown away by larger bullets. The layers of cement wrapped around the bunker were also destroyed by layers of bullets under the constant shooting.
A layer of peeling off...
As for the Japanese soldiers who were sticking to the quilt of the spouse building, they were awakened by the dense crowd of strongmen. Just when they were about to stick their heads out of the shooting holes to see the specific situation outside, the bullets as thick as their arms immediately hit them mercilessly.
Their heads were smashed to pieces, and instantly, the whole building was filled with the bloody smell of the soldiers' red and white brains.
For a moment, the little Japs in the bunker were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them. The more resolute Japs just stretched out the black machine gun barrels and pointed them at the open area outside the bunker, relying on their own
Based on their experience, they were vigilant and fired blindly. However, those armed foreigners who did not have much determination in their will were immediately frightened to the point where their legs became weak in the face of such a bloody scene. Each of the armed foreigners seemed to have been frightened.
I squatted in the corner with my legs weak and started to tremble...
"Comrades, charge with me, occupy the Japanese positions, and kill..." Although the two thousand soldiers behind the design stronghold were frightened by the power of more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns on their backs. However, they did not forget
My own mission. Two thousand soldiers, under the personal leadership of regiment leader Xu Ying, took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese troops in the bunker were completely suppressed. They immediately jumped up from the ground and launched a charge...
In an instant, two thousand soldiers in an offensive formation, holding weapons, dodged machine gun bullets shot aimlessly by the Japanese army while speeding up their charge... The charge distance of 300 meters was less than one platoon.
The soldiers fell on the road of charge, and the remaining soldiers all rushed in front of the bunker...
"Boom, boom, boom..." The grenades thrown into the bunker by the soldiers quickly erupted with dull explosions. In an instant, the little Japs who had just been hiding in the bunker with their turtle shells immediately jumped up.
It was blown to pieces and no bones were left...
"An anti-aircraft machine gun company enters the bunker and is responsible for covering. The artillery company immediately builds artillery positions to provide fire cover for the troops. The first battalion defends the direction of Beiping City, the second battalion defends the direction of the airport, and the third battalion serves as a reserve. Start building fortifications immediately...
"As the last Japanese soldier fell under the bayonets of the soldiers, the commander of the fourth regiment, Xu Ying, quickly observed the enemy situation in front of him and gave a loud order.
As the two defensive positions were quickly constructed, each soldier quickly set up his own weapons on the position, waiting for the arrival of the little devil. From the beginning to the present, it only took less than ten minutes.
, the highway leading from the airport to Beiping City was cut off alive by all the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Regiment... As for the thousands of Japanese soldiers remaining in the airport, they have completely become the soldiers' lunch, waiting for the result of being completely eliminated...
