Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 408 The house was stolen!

"Commander, Datong Airport is about three kilometers ahead."

In the early morning, at the edge of a remote woods, Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei.

After a night of forced march, Chu Yunfei led the mountain artillery company of the 358th Regiment and the New st Regiment and finally arrived near Datong.

"finally reached."

Chu Yunfei let out a breath.

While attacking Datong, we must also attack Datong Airport simultaneously.

Otherwise, the aerial bombs carried by the Japanese planes taking off from Datong Airport would have caused great damage to the 358th Regiment.

Chu Yunfei does not have as strong anti-aircraft firepower as Li Yunlong.

"Brother Ligong, let the brothers rest first."

The reconnaissance platoon went to Datong and the airport for reconnaissance and has not returned yet. Chu Yunfei plans to take action at dawn, but the prerequisite is to find out the defense situation of Datong.

"Yes, Commander." Fang Ligong nodded and quickly went to convey the order.

Chu Yunfei sat down against a tree. The ticking sound of the telegraph could be heard and the telegraph operator began to send and receive telegrams.

About a quarter of an hour later, the communications officer handed over a telegram: "Commander, we just received a telegram saying that the Japanese troops at Jiangjunling were badly beaten by the New 1st Regiment."

Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was defeated in northwestern and northern Shanxi, its powerful intelligence capabilities were no worse than those of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army in northwestern Shanxi.

For example, in the original drama, Yamamoto led the special forces team to attack Zhaojiayu, and Chu Yunfei quickly received the intelligence information.

"Oh?"

Chu Yunfei took the telegram, Fang Ligong immediately turned on the flashlight, and the two of them read it together.

"This……"

After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong both fell into a daze and were controlled for at least fifteen seconds.

The telegram said that after a day of fierce fighting, the total casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops attacking from the direction of Jiangjunling exceeded 15,000.

After looking at the signature code of the telegram, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong both knew that the information was very authentic.

"In one day, 15,000 Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated?"

Fang Ligong was completely baffled, his tone filled with shock: "I just don't understand, how did Li Yunlong do it?"

Before the war, he expected that the New 1st Regiment would be in big trouble, but he did not expect that the big trouble would be with the Japanese army.

"Brother Yunlong is awesome!"

Chu Yunfei, who only had Yan Laoxi and Principal Chang in his eyes, also praised Li Yunlong generously at this time.

Praise from the heart.

Our Republic of China army has such a brave general like Brother Yunlong. It is a great fortune for the country and the nation.

"In northwest Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army won their first battle, and our 358th Regiment cannot afford to lose any points."

Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes:

"Order the guard company, artillery battalion, and mountain artillery company to be ready."

"If anyone fails in this battle, I, Chu Yunfei, will skin him alive!"

Fang Ligong: "Yes, Commander."

Not long after, the reconnaissance platoon leader returned to the woods with a few people and drew the locations of the Japanese and puppet army's checkpoints and artillery towers on the map.

The defense of the Japanese and puppet troops was average, far worse than when the 26th Division was there. After all, the Japanese and puppet troops were short of manpower.

As dawn was about to break, Chu Yunfei gave the order to start the action.

Afterwards, Sun Ming and the soldiers of the guard company changed into the Japanese clothes and escorted a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army prisoners towards the south gate of Datong.

At the same time, the artillery observers of the New 1st Regiment quietly infiltrated Datong Airport.

The mountain artillery company's 12 75mm Bofors mountain guns were quietly set up, with their muzzles pointing towards Datong Airport.

As soon as the sky began to lighten, several Japanese planes took off from Datong Airport. This frightened Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong, who thought that the 358th Regiment's attack on Datong had been exposed.

But the Japanese planes had no time to care about other things and flew straight towards the northwest of Shanxi, apparently to reinforce the Japanese troops in Jiangjunling.

About an hour later, Sun Ming led his guard company disguised as Japanese soldiers and escorted more than 100 Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers to the south city wall of Datong.

but.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall were afraid of being ambushed, so they did not dare to open the wall to let them in immediately. They had to verify their identities first.

"Do it!"

They were fake to begin with, and their identities would be exposed immediately if they were verified, so Sun Ming decisively gave the order.

Sun Ming was the first to pull out his Mauser pistol and killed the Japanese light machine gunner behind the sandbag fort under the city gate with one shot.

The rest of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers drew their guns and fired. After killing the machine gunner under the city wall, the demolitionist blew up the South Gate with a pack of explosives.

Sun Ming took the lead, leading more than 200 soldiers and charging towards the city wall.

Dozens of Jin-made Thompson submachine guns demonstrated impressive power and firing rate in close combat.

The more than 100 Japanese devils and puppet troops defending the south city wall were quickly wiped out by Sun Ming and his men.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were not to be trifled with. They sent troops to recapture the southern city wall while requesting support from the Mongolian Army Headquarters.

at the same time.

Outside Datong City, Qian Bojun, commander of the first battalion of the 358th Regiment, led the main force of the first battalion to destroy the checkpoints and artillery towers along the way and charged towards the south city wall.

Several other battalions quickly surrounded the other three walls of Datong.

The mountain artillery company sent by Li Yunlong was also not idle. Under the guidance of the artillery observer, it launched artillery fire coverage on Datong Airport.

Dense artillery shells fell on Datong Airport, and rumbling explosions were heard.

At this time, a buzzing sound was heard in the sky.

midair.

"01, 01, Datong Airport is under bombardment. What should we do now?" Bomber No. 03, which was preparing to land, reported to Takeda Isamu.

"Bah…Gah!"

Takeda Yong naturally also saw the smoke rising from the direction of Datong Airport that covered the sky and the sun, which made him so angry that he started cursing.

After completing a bombing mission, he flew back and found that his house had been robbed.

The Japanese pilots flew the plane higher and when they arrived above the airport, they looked down and saw that the shells had hit the runway, the ammunition depot and the oil depot had also been hit, and the pilots' dormitories and canteen had been reduced to ruins. The soldiers responsible for defending the airport were trying to put out the fire, but the fire was too big and could not be extinguished at all.

"There's a battle going on in the direction of Datong City."

A pilot reports to Takeda Isamu.

Takeda Isamu raised his telescope and saw many Chinese soldiers on the ground moving towards the vicinity of Datong City. A fierce battle was in full swing towards the south gate.

"It's the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that's attacking Datong," Takeda Yong said grimly. "Let's go to Zhangjiakou Airport, refuel and refuel, and make the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army pay the price for attacking Datong."

The 54th Flying Squadron, which had just completed a bombing mission, had used up all its ammunition and naturally could not dive and strafe the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army on the ground.

During the bombing of Jiangjunling, the 54th flight fought and destroyed more than ten mountain cannons of an artillery battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, this time it was a fake artillery battalion that was blown up. Zhan Hulian's techniques became more and more mature, and the Japs in the sky could not tell the difference between real and fake artillery positions.

The Japanese pilots: "Hi."

On the ground of Datong's south city wall, Sun Ming led a guard company and a reconnaissance company to occupy the south city wall. The Japanese assembled a squadron and a company of puppet troops to counterattack. The dense bullets from both sides caused dust to rise up inside and outside the city.

The quality deficiencies of the Jin-made Thompson rifle became apparent during the battle. Under continuous fire, the barrel became red and even exploded.

Fortunately, Qian Bojun led the first battalion to arrive in time. By the time the first battalion arrived, more than half of the guard company and reconnaissance company on the south city wall had suffered casualties.

Afterwards, the second, third and fourth battalions of the 358th Regiment surrounded several other city walls. The artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment also arrived and set up Jin-made mountain cannons to bombard the city walls.

At the same time, the Japanese in the surrounding counties quickly moved out to reinforce Datong.
