During the Republic of China, especially after the Central Plains War, warlords of all sizes across the country suddenly started a trend of establishing an air force. Even Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang tried every means to buy a dozen old aircraft from the West and set up an air force. As a result,
It made a huge fool of itself during its first test flight performance.
The pilot threw the bomb directly into the viewing platform, killing many guests attending the ceremony.
During this period, Fu Zuoyi, as the chairman of Suiyuan Province, also built an airport in Datong and prepared to build an air force. However, he failed to build the Suiyuan Air Force until the end. Later, after the Japs invaded Shanxi, Datong Airport and Yangming
Fort Airport did play an irreplaceable role in the Battle of Taiyuan.
After the Japanese occupied Datong, they expanded Datong Airport.
Now, a squadron of attack aircraft is permanently stationed at Datong Airport.
However, the attack aircraft squadron in Datong no longer lives up to its name. Not only the original dozen pilots with rich flight experience have been transferred to the Kwantung Army, but even the six attack aircraft in the best condition have been seconded to the Kwantung Army.
The army now only has three old and dilapidated Type 96 attack aircraft, one of which is lying in the hangar and can no longer take off. In addition, there are a group of rookie pilots who have just graduated from the flight academy.
From this, we can also see the embarrassment of little Japan.
After all, little Japan is an island country with poor resources. Once it starts an all-out war with an industrial power like the Soviet Union, it will immediately fall into trouble. This is because the Far East is far away from Europe, and there is only a Siberian Railway with low transportation capacity in the middle. Otherwise, the Kwantung Army would simply insist on
It didn't take long for him to be defeated.
Closer to home, there are only three old Type 96 attack aircraft, also known as bombers, left at Datong Airport. One of them is still lying in the hangar due to malfunction. Only two of them can take off, and they are assigned to the Datong Squadron.
The sixteen pilots were all freshly graduated from flight school and had only been flying for a few hours.
In addition, the 26th Division is still stationed in Datong.
At this time, the 26th Division was in the process of rebuilding.
Thanks to the protection of Naosaburo Okabe, the commanders of the Mongolian army at all levels who suffered a defeat in the Battle of Gohara were not held accountable by the front army headquarters and the Japanese base camp. Adachi Twenty-three was even promoted to one level, from the 3rd to the 1st.
The commander of the 26th Infantry Regiment became the division commander of the 26th Division.
For Naosaburo Okabe's support, Adachi Twenty-three can be said to be filled with gratitude.
Therefore, Adachi Twenty-san devoted unprecedented enthusiasm to the reconstruction of the 26th Division. This was not only to repay Naosaburo Okabe's trust, but also to improve his own future, because after the reconstruction of the 26th Division
If the regiment still performs poorly on the battlefield, then he is really responsible.
However, the reconstruction effort was not smooth from the beginning.
Weapons and equipment, especially artillery, have not been in place for a long time. Let’s not talk about it because domestic production capacity is limited and there are so many troops that need to be supplemented. Anda 23 can understand this, but what makes Anda 23 uneasy is
, the quality of the soldiers assigned to the 26th Division from the base camp this time was extremely low.
This is because, as the front line on the Chinese battlefield becomes longer and longer, especially after the outbreak of the Far East Campaign, the demand for reserve service has increased sharply. Up to now, the domestic reserve service personnel between the ages of 18 and 20 have already
has been exhausted, so we can only recruit a large number of reserves who are over twenty years old and transfer them to active service.
These reservists are also called local soldiers.
Although these soldiers in the countryside have served as soldiers and received strict military training, they have been retired for some time. After returning to their hometowns, they have become addicted to bad habits such as gambling, alcoholism, etc., and most of them have married wives and children, so when they arrive on the battlefield, they have
Without scruples, the will to fight is not as firm as in the reserve force.
All in all, in short, due to the reconstruction of the 26th Division and the need to take care of the security war under his control, Anda 23rd was already in a state of distress and had no time or energy to personally check the security of Datong Airport.
Therefore, the garrison at Datong Airport has maintained its previous size, which is only one squadron.
If we were just dealing with the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, one squadron would be more than enough.
But if you want to deal with Wolf Fang, a mere infantry squadron is simply not enough.
…
It's late at night and the weather is cold.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the sight is excellent.
The entire wilderness was as silent as death, without any sound. Datong Airport is located in this wilderness in the eastern suburbs. The airport is surrounded by a two-meter-high wall connected to a high-voltage power grid, and there are also one every fifty meters.
There are sentries on the sentry post 24 hours a day, and the gate is even more heavily guarded. In addition to two circular barricades, there is also a heavy machine gun nest welded with three millimeter steel plates. There are three shifts a day to ensure
There is an infantry team guarding the gate at all times.
Faced with such a strong defense, the Eighth Route Army's guerrillas really didn't have much to do. At most, they could hide in the distance and fire a few cold shots. But apart from letting the Japanese defenders waste some ammunition, there was no other use.
However, this time it was the notorious Langya who came over, and the result was completely different.
Under the cover of night, more than a hundred Wolf Fang members had silently entered the attack position.
One after another, the team leaders used sign language to signal to Leng Tiefeng that they were ready. Leng Tiefeng immediately turned around and cast his gaze on the electric pole more than ten meters away. It was a wooden electric pole. Shi Xiaoqian had already climbed to it.
At the upper end of the power pole, hands wearing electrician gloves held large scissors, which were already aimed at the power lines.
Suddenly, Leng Tiefeng raised his right hand and made a circle.
Shi Xiaoqian and a dozen other combat team observers on the electric pole immediately held their breath.
A moment later, Leng Tiefeng's raised right hand suddenly showed out his index finger. The four assault teams responsible for the assault immediately jumped out of the grass where they were hiding, and rushed towards the airport wall as quickly as apes. The four at the front rushed towards the airport wall.
The commandos each also carried a quilt on their shoulders, which was used to climb over the wall.
The next moment, Leng Tiefeng's raised right hand suddenly extended his middle finger.
Almost at the same time, more than twenty snipers from eight sniper teams who had been waiting for a long time pulled the triggers at the same time. With a muffled popping sound, the Japanese at the airport gate and on the surrounding sentries fell to the ground. Only the Japanese hiding behind them fell to the ground.
The Japanese in the heavy machine gun nest made of steel plates were fine, so they pressed the firing button and opened fire violently.
The next moment, Leng Tiefeng's raised right hand thrust out his thumb again. Seeing this, Shi Xiaoqian, who had been waiting for a long time, cut it sharply. In an instant, the entire Datong Airport fell into darkness. Suddenly
From light to darkness, the sight of the Japanese inside the airport was greatly affected, but the sight of the Wolf Fang outside the airport was hardly affected.
In the blink of an eye, the four assault teams rushed outside the wall. The team member at the front swung his hands violently and threw up the quilt on his shoulders. This action had been practiced countless times, and the strength was just right.
, after the quilt rose to a height of two meters, it opened suddenly and was extremely prepared to cover the barbed wire fence.
Immediately afterwards, the second commando from each group rushed over. He kicked off his left foot and jumped hard. His whole body was lifted up in the air. He lifted up more than one meter high and then tapped lightly on the wall with his right foot.
, the body was pulled up again, and then the whole body was pressed forward on the quilt.
Because of the protection of the quilt, the barbs on the barbed wire are useless.
The commando jumped forward, then flipped forward, and they had already climbed into the airport wall.
Immediately afterwards, the third commando also rolled in, and then the commando who threw out the quilt.
In the blink of an eye, all twelve commandos from the four assault groups rushed into the airport. Then the four assault groups quickly divided into three groups. One of the groups turned around and rushed towards the airport gate to meet the Langya Brigade.
The main force, the other two assault groups, one went straight to the dormitory building, and the last one went straight to the hangar.
The assault team that rushed to the hangar was led by Xu Rui himself.
The Japanese airport garrison does not live near the hangar, but the dormitory building for Japanese pilots does.
Almost two minutes have passed since the gunshots were fired. The dozen or so rookie Japanese pilots of the Datong Squadron had already been awakened. They rushed out of the simple dormitory in a panic one by one. Several of the Japanese pilots were not properly dressed.
One Japanese pilot even had one bare foot.
"Baga, what happened to the gunshot just now?"
"Idiot, why bother asking? It must be the Eighth Route Army."
"Nani? How can the Eighth Route Army guerrillas be so powerful?"
Until this time, more than a dozen Japanese pilots had not figured out the situation.
Naturally, Xu Rui would not have the slightest pity for these Japs. In an instant, Xu Rui held a twenty-ring box cannon in each hand and fired continuously, sending a dense rain of bullets towards these Japs pilots, the Wolf Fang Brigade.
Each team member is equipped with two weapons as standard, a bayonet and a short gun.
However, the main battle weapons are clearly distinguished according to different missions. The sniper team is equipped with a Mauser 98K sniper rifle, the firepower output team is equipped with a Gatling minigun, and the assault team is equipped with a mirror box.
A team of Xu Rui, Digua and Mo Zichen, with three people and six twenty-shot box cannons, instantly formed a dense network of firepower. The dozen or so Japanese pilots who had just rushed out of the dormitory building had not yet understood the situation.
He was thrown to the ground, and Xu Rui then threw two more grenades into the pilot's dormitory.
Then, he no longer bothered to pay attention to the dormitory building and rushed straight to the nearby hangar.
The hangar is open and lined up in a row. There are more than ten hangars from left to right. Under the cover of Digua and Mo Zichen, Xu Rui searched from left to right and finally found it in the sixth hangar.
It is an attack aircraft. From the slender fuselage and huge size, you can tell that it is a Type 96 bomber.
