With a "boom", even Wang Xuexin's headquarters was blown apart.
The moment the roof of the warehouse was blown open, Wang Xuexin raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger one after another amid the smoke and fired all eight bullets.
A few faint screams were heard outside, followed by panicked shouts, followed by several loud "boom" noises, and explosive packs exploded outside the cave.
Obviously, Wang Xuexin hit several Japs who were about to throw the explosives inside, causing the Japs' explosives to explode outside and take away a wave of Japs.
Tang Liangjun couldn't help being surprised when he saw this scene. Everyone secretly said that Battalion Commander Wang was one of the best sharpshooters in the Eighth Route Army. It really looked like that when he saw it today. He didn't see anything in the falling smoke just now.
, but Battalion Commander Wang can accurately hit the enemies outside the cave...
What Tang Liangjun didn't know was that Wang Xuexin was actually trying his luck.
In fact, it's not entirely a matter of luck.
Wang Xuexin also saw nothing, but when a big hole was blasted on the top of the warehouse, he saw the light coming from outside the hole... maybe it was the afterglow of the sun going down.
Moreover, there are several figures flashing between these lights.
So Wang Xuexin knew that there was an enemy at this location.
All Wang Xuexin had to do was make a rough calculation based on the angle of the sunlight, and then take two steps forward and fire all the bullets in the magazine towards the "suspected target" outside the cave... This was still contaminated with the Garand rifle that Sun Erwei gave to Wang Xuexin.
The light, this thing is a semi-automatic rifle, if it is fast, it can shoot out all eight bullets in a few seconds.
However, what surprised Tang Liangjun was yet to come.
After Wang Xuexin put away his gun, he did not organize troops for defense at all. Instead, he turned around and ordered Chen Songyong: "Notify Yuan Chang Airport to launch!"
"Yes!" Chen Songyong responded, and then shouted to the radio station: "Attention all units, launch! Launch!"
Tang Liangjun felt doubtful in his heart, launch?
What to launch?
Yuanchang Airport is dozens of kilometers away from here. How else can we get here?
Could it be...the legendary "high fire"?
It can be said that Tang Liangjun guessed right, or he guessed wrong!
The reason why Tang Liangjun guessed correctly is because Wang Xuexin knew from the beginning that Wangxing Airport was easy to attack and difficult to defend, so he had no intention of fighting head-on with the Japanese, especially with the Japanese mechanized troops.
However, if we don't fight hard, it means that the troops will have to retreat to the warehouse.
Retreating to the warehouse will make the Eighth Route Army too passive...The Japanese only need to use two machine guns to guard the entrance of the warehouse so that the Eighth Route Army cannot counterattack, and then they can do whatever they want.
Chen Songyong even said: "If the Japanese are allowed to occupy the surface positions, it will only be a matter of time before Wangxing Airport and even the underground warehouse are captured, even if night falls!"
Chen Songyong is right.
The warehouses at the airport were not designed for combat. They were designed by the dignitaries to preserve their wealth and store ammunition. There were not many exits, so they were easily blocked by the Japanese.
But Wang Xuexin believes that this may not be the case.
Wang Xuexin just raised a few questions:
"1: What will the Japanese do if they seize the surface position?"
Chen Songyong replied without thinking: "Of course I will try my best to blast it!"
"That is to say..." Wang Xuexin asked back: "The Japanese will gather above Wangxing Airport?"
"Of course!" Chen Songyong didn't understand why Wang Xuexin raised this question. Of course, if he wanted to blow up the underground warehouse, he would have to gather above the airport.
Wang Xuexin ignored Chen Songyong and then asked another question:
"Two: How far is Yuanchang Airport from Wangxing Airport?"
This is not a secret. The battalion commander must know it.
Wang Xuexin asked another question: "Three: Can the underground warehouse withstand the bombing of 'high fire'?"
Chen Songyong was stunned for a while, and then nodded with an "Oh" and said: "The battalion commander is right, we can wait for the Japs to gather above the airport and use 'high fire' to bomb the surface positions of the airport! Then..."
Needless to say what will happen at that time, no matter what the Japanese infantry, side three-wheelers, 95 light combat, or minesweepers, they will all explode into the sky at once.
The reason why Wang Xuexin asked Tang Liangjun's 208th Regiment to block outside was just because he knew that the Japanese were divided into two groups: the first group was the vanguard with two squadrons, and the second group was the three squadrons that came up as reinforcements.
If the first group cannot be stopped and bombed with "high fire" immediately, the Japanese will know the Eighth Route Army's routine immediately, and then they will not be able to be fooled and gather at Wangxing Airport... They can completely send a small force to blast the airport.
When "high fire" occurs, the waste of "cannons hitting small birds" will inevitably occur.
Tang Liangjun's troops blocked the outside, "rubbing" the two Japanese troops into one force, and then made the Japanese think that it was time to launch a final charge during the decisive battle... Only after launching a final charge would the main force gather at Wangxing Airport.
superior.
But this is normal. The Japanese thought that the Eighth Route Army had all been sealed in underground warehouses, so what else could they not do? Of course, send the main force up. The more people there are, the faster they can attack the Eighth Route Army underground.
Warehouse!
One of the variables is that Wang Xuexin did not expect that the Japanese would have the construction drawings of Wangxing Airport in their hands and that they would be able to accurately blast on the top of the warehouse.
In this way, a warehouse that could withstand "high fire" bombing may not be able to withstand a big hole after it is blasted.
But now there is no other choice. Wang Xuexin can only order Yuanchang Airport to launch "high fire".
At this time, Zhou Yuankai was sitting in command of Yuanchang Airport. As soon as he received the order, he immediately ordered: "Launch!"
Just hearing a "whoosh" whistle, a total of thirty-five "high fire" missiles flew out from the underground launch silo of Yuanchang Airport and headed straight for Wangxing Airport.
As the sky was getting dark, the Japanese fighter planes flying in the sky did not notice these "high fires" until a few minutes later.
Aviation Captain Ehide Morimoto immediately understood what was going on and immediately issued a warning to Shino Endo.
It was still too late to issue a warning at this time. At a "high fire" speed, it would take about eight or nine minutes to fly the entire 39 kilometers. The Japanese still had enough reaction time... After all, they were mechanized troops, and they were still driving handbags.
The mechanized troops can leave the airport in two minutes by hopping on their shoulder straps.
However, the Japanese's backward communication equipment prevented the air force from directly contacting the infantry, so it needed to be transmitted from the headquarters.
Two more minutes were wasted going back and forth.
So, when the news reached Shino Endo, he looked up and saw a large bright spot flying from the south.
