Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"The division commander did this out of caution. The Northeast Army is too strong. It would be very dangerous if they came to attack the airport." said the Japanese lieutenant colonel.

Previously, there was not even a regiment of soldiers guarding the airport, but after more than 20,000 soldiers were killed, the division commander became cautious.

"Hmph, so what if they are powerful? Do they really dare to attack the airport?!" Tanashita Kojiro snorted coldly. He admitted that the Northeastern Army was indeed very powerful. With the same number of people, the soldiers of the Class A Division were no match for them.

But the other side has a weakness, that is, there are too few people, and they need someone to cooperate with them to exert strong combat effectiveness. If it is a head-on confrontation, they are definitely not their opponent.

"It's hard to say. In any case, it's better to be conservative. If the airport is bombed by the enemy, the consequences will be very serious." Although the Japanese lieutenant colonel had never fought with the Northeast Army, he could tell from the opponent's battle record that this unit was incredibly strong.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to talk about this." Kojiro Tanashita waved his hand, too lazy to continue the topic!

"Hi! Captain, I'll be out first." The Japanese lieutenant colonel turned and left, closing the door behind him.

"It's just a small unit, how can it be so powerful?! It's really strange." Kojiro Tanashita stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark clouds in the distant sky, muttering to himself.

.........

On the other side, after Li Jin and Li Yunlong looked at the situation at the airport, they went down the mountain and called Lu Changgong.

"Tonight you take your men to go around the rear of the airport. We will attract the enemy's firepower in front. You take the opportunity to raid in, occupy the enemy's position, and catch them off guard." Li Jin gave the order.

Only Lu Changgong's reconnaissance company could complete this task. In order to protect the airport, the Japanese established many positions inside to better protect the airport.

"Don't worry, Captain, I promise to complete the mission!" Lu Changgong decisively chose to take the task.

"Well, go and make preparations, and call Xiao Jinming over." Li Jin nodded and gave another instruction.

"Okay." Lu Changgong turned and left. After waiting for a while, Xiao Jinming came over carrying a gun wrapped in cloth.

"Captain, you're looking for me." Xiao Jinming asked.

"You will lead the Sharpshooter Company to occupy a hill about 500 meters away from the airport. Once the battle starts,

You guys just snipe the Japanese machine gunners or Japanese officers wherever you are. In short, I don't want to see any Japanese machine gunner firing for more than five seconds!" Li Jin continued to give orders.

They will have to attack the Japanese head-on and will face a lot of pressure, so they have to ensure that the Japanese machine guns cannot pose a threat to them.

As for the Japanese artillery, Lu Changgong and his men took care of it. In this way, the Japanese firepower would be greatly weakened, and they could reduce casualties and capture the airport at the lowest cost.

"Understood!" Xiao Jinming responded quickly.

"Li Jin, isn't this distance too far?! At a distance of 500 meters, you can't even see people clearly, right?!" Li Yunlong spoke at this time.

If it was daytime, he could still understand it, but now it was night and even if he could determine the position by the flashes of the Japanese gunfire, it would be impossible to hit the enemy at such a long distance.

"Xiao Jinming, give me your gun." Li Jin stretched out his hand towards Xiao Jinming.

"Here." Xiao Jinming handed the gun to Li Jin without any hesitation.

Li Jin then untied the cloth covering the gun, revealing the gun, which was equipped with a scope.

"What's going on? A telescope?!" Li Yunlong was stunned.

"Almost. With this thing, we can hit targets farther away. Every soldier in the Sharpshooter Company is equipped with it. Besides, we also have flares, so it doesn't matter if the light is dim." Li Jin said with a smile.

In order to take over the airport, he had already made sufficient preparations. Without a certain trump card, he had no confidence that he could wipe out the Japanese at the airport in a short period of time.

"Damn, you actually have such good stuff. After this battle, you have to prepare some for me, so that I can use it to prepare my Grey Wolf Squad." Li Yunlong became jealous when he heard it, and said quickly.

"No problem, let's talk about it after the war." Li Jin said.

Time passed quickly and soon it was around 11:50 in the evening.

It was very dark, with only lights at the Japanese airport.

Inside the airport, the Japanese patrol was patrolling in the cold wind. Of course, the hardest job was for the soldiers, who were crawling on the snow, each of them wearing a white cloak.

When they came to a distance of less than 300 meters from the Japanese, it was time to attack, and some soldiers quickly made cover with sandbags.

The cold wind howled, blowing up the snowflakes. The Japanese soldiers on guard tightened their collars, but it was of no use.

boom!
With a gunshot, a bullet pierced the chest of the Japanese soldier on guard.

At the same time, other soldiers also opened fire one after another.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

Dense bullets were fired at the Japanese, and the Japanese on the walkway on the city wall fell to the ground one by one after being shot.

The sound of gunfire also broke the silence!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

Some Japanese soldiers were shouting loudly. In fact, there was no need for them to shout. The Japanese soldiers in the dormitory were all veterans. They woke up immediately when they heard the gunshots.

They put on their clothes, took their guns, and left the dormitory, rushing towards the airport gate. When the Japanese arrived at the gate, they immediately went behind the bunker at the gate.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

The Japanese soldiers also began to counterattack the enemy in front. Fortunately, the soldiers of the special operations regiment built a shelter with sandbags, otherwise, many people would have been killed and injured.

.........

"Damn, who is lying on the ground? How dare they actually attack the airport!" In the room, Kojiro Tanashita hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed outside.

He was really a little panicked. He had just said that there would be no enemy attack, but someone came just in the middle of the night.

"Captain, the enemy's firepower is too strong. In just a short while, we have killed hundreds of soldiers. Moreover, the enemy also has very powerful sharpshooters. Our machine gunners can't suppress the enemy's firepower at all!" At this time, the Japanese lieutenant colonel hurried over to report. His face was a little pale. They suffered heavy casualties in just less than two minutes of fighting. This group of enemies is too terrifying.

"What?! How is this possible?! How many enemies are there?!" Kojiro Tanashita's face changed drastically.

"Judging from the sound of gunfire, there are probably about three to four thousand enemies," said the Japanese lieutenant colonel.

"Three or four thousand people dare to attack the airport?! Damn it, they are too arrogant. Pass the order, they must defend the airport. If they fail, they will all commit suicide by disembowelment!" Kojiro Tanashita was so angry. He thought the enemy would have many people, but he got the news that there were only three or four thousand people. Isn't this almost the same as their regiment!
"Captain, let's send a telegram to the brigade commander for help first. Otherwise, I'm worried that we really may not be able to hold on. The troops that attacked us must be the Northeast Army." The Japanese lieutenant colonel suggested.

The most important thing now is to defend the airport. Once the airport is lost, the planes at the airport will be gone. The key is the pilots in the airport. They are the treasures of the empire, and each pilot is trained with a huge amount of materials.

The value of a pilot is very great. Even if they die, they must protect the safety of these pilots.

"You go and give the command for me first, I'll call the brigade commander." Kojiro Tanashita also calmed down, and after giving the order, he immediately ran to the communications room.

At this time, the soldiers outside the airport were still attacking fiercely. Their firepower was so strong that they suppressed the Japanese and pushed their positions forward to close the distance.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

Puff puff………

Many Japanese soldiers who wanted to fight back were hit by bullets as soon as they opened fire and fell to the ground and died. One after another, the Japanese soldiers fell.

At the same time, there were some casualties on the New 1st Regiment's side, but those who died were all new recruits who did not have enough combat experience.

Boom boom boom......

At this time, the artillery positions of the Special Operations Regiment and the New 1st Regiment also began to bombard the Japanese. One shell after another drew a parabola in the night sky, fell into the positions, and even fell into several houses. Explosions continued to be heard one after another.

Many Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot, and some had their arms and legs broken. For a while, the wailing of Japanese soldiers could be heard from the position.

Obviously, these devils never expected that the enemy actually had so many cannons.

Hundreds of Japanese pilots dispersed and hid behind bunkers, and they took out their pistols.

"What is going on? How can this group of enemies have so much firepower!" said a Japanese pilot, his voice trembling. He thought the airport was the safest place, but who could have thought that one day the airport would be attacked by the enemy.

"Needless to say, it must be the Northeast Army. No one else has such courage." said the Japanese pilot on the side.

"Captain, the enemy's goal is to blow up our plane, so why don't we fly the plane away!" A Japanese soldier looked at a Japanese lieutenant colonel and said.

The enemy is making such a big fuss, they must be coming for the plane. As long as the plane is driven away, there will be no big problem.

"Baga, flying a plane in the middle of the night without any guidance, are you looking for death?!" the Japanese captain cursed.

They don't have night vision capabilities, so no matter how powerful they are, they can only take off during the day. Moreover, the runway is a bit slippery, and even though the snow has been cleared, they still cannot take off.

At that time, not only will they not be able to take off, the plane may even crash into the wall, resulting in the destruction of the plane and death of everyone on board.

"What should we do?!" A pilot suddenly panicked.

"Why rush? This place is very close to the West City Gate. Tanashita Kojiro must have called to report the situation here.
The soldiers at the west gate will be here in an hour at most, and by then, this group of enemies will have no way out." The Japanese captain couldn't help but smile as he said this.

Once these words were spoken, the pilots felt a lot more at ease.

There is an entire regiment guarding the airport. It is easy for them to hold it for an hour, so they will be fine.

"Captain, if that's the case, why would the enemy dare to attack the airport?!"

"Who knows? Maybe they think they are so powerful that they can take down the airport within an hour."

"Oh, that's just wishful thinking."

.........

In the communications room, when Kojiro Tanashita came in, he immediately picked up the phone and called his brigade commander.

"The brigade commander is resting. Let's talk about it tomorrow." The operator's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Baga, wake up the brigade commander immediately. I'm Kojiro Tanashita. The airport is under fierce attack by the enemy. Please support me!" Kojiro Tanashita started cursing angrily and even introduced himself.

"Okay, I'll go wake up the brigade commander right away." The operator's voice was obviously panicked because he heard gunshots coming from Kojiro Tanashita's side.

Kojiro Tanashita was holding the phone, running around anxiously, and the sound of gunfire outside never stopped.

"Mr. Tanashita, what's going on? I have sent people to support you." At this time, the voice of the Japanese brigade commander Itayamao came from the phone.

"Brigade Commander, the people who attacked us must be the Northeastern Army. They are very powerful. We suffered heavy casualties after only a few minutes of fighting. Their firepower is also very strong, with many machine guns and cannons." Kojiro Tanashita quickly reported the situation.

"What?! Is it that Northeastern Army?! How dare they attack the airport?! It's impossible. I admit that they are very powerful, but no matter how strong they are, they can't dare to attack the airport, right?!" Ban Shangshanfu was shocked. To be honest, before he could take action against the Northeastern Army, the other side attacked their airport first.

"I don't want to believe it either, but apart from them, other troops simply don't have this kind of combat capability!" said Kojiro Tanashita.

"I always feel something is wrong. This Northeast Army would not do such a risky thing. They must have made full preparations. In other words, their target is not the airport but the reinforcements I sent out. They want to ambush the people I sent over!" Ban Shangshanfu began to analyze it. The more he spoke, the more it made sense to him.

If the target of that Northeastern Army was the reinforcements he sent, then the reinforcements he sent might really be annihilated if they were caught off guard!

"That's not right. The Northeast Army doesn't have that many people. Unless they have joined forces with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Eighth Route Army, they would never dare to attack the airport based on this alone!" Ban Shangshanfu continued.

He felt that this possibility was very high, otherwise, this Northeast Army would not have chosen to attack the airport so riskily.

"Brigade Commander, I think their target is still the airport, but they have set up an ambush along the way to delay the time for support." After Kojiro Tanashita calmed down, he also began to analyze.

"What you said makes sense. They will delay our support and buy time for those who attack the airport, and finally take over the airport." Itayamafu also agreed with what Tanashita Kojiro said.

As long as the battle is delayed long enough, the enemy will have more time to capture the airport and finally blow up all the planes in the airport!
