Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 476 Let’s go!

One night more than half a month later.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are sparse.

Li Yunlong is ready to attack.

In northwest Shanxi, the Dagu Town Airport of the New 1st Regiment is brightly lit.

The airport is not big, but it has everything including a control tower, pilot dormitories, concrete bunkers and gun towers, small air defense towers, underground ammunition depots and oil depots.

At this time, Li Yunlong personally led a howitzer battalion and a heavy mortar battalion to the Dagu Town Airport.

sizzle-

There was a sudden sound of tires braking on the concrete ground, and dozens of large trucks stopped steadily on the secondary runway.

Li Yunlong jumped out of a jeep with a serious expression.

"Da Biao, have the infiltrators arrived at the designated location?" Li Yunlong looked at the watch on his hand. There were still twenty minutes before Boss Lin's helicopter arrived.

"Two artillery observation teams have arrived at the designated location and are lurking. They have also sent a signal."

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Dabiao's eyes and he reported to Li Yunlong.

After determining Plan B and Plan C, Li Yunlong immediately took action.

Two combat teams of the Blade Commando were dispatched to conduct reconnaissance in the northwest direction of Datong Airport and the southwest direction of Zhangjiakou Airport respectively.

At present, a suitable position for deploying artillery has been found near both airports.

Although the best time for combat operations has not yet arrived, preparations are not particularly sufficient.

But if they did not take action now, the 21st Japanese Air Group stationed at Zhangjiakou Airport would have completed its rest and replenishment and would soon fly to Taiyuan in groups.

The Japanese First Army built a new Wusu Airport south of Taiyuan.

The Wusu Airport was heavily defended, and the Japanese built many hangars with concrete, which were said to be able to withstand the bombardment of 105mm howitzers.

The Japanese pilots' dormitories were also made of solid concrete structures.

The ammunition depot and oil depot were also built underground, reinforced with concrete and hidden away securely.

The Japanese airport of the First Army was really badly bombed by artillery.

Therefore, if Li Yunlong doesn't take action now, the cooked duck will fly away.

"Okay." Li Yunlong's words were brief and powerful.

"Old Li!" Zhao Gang gave the howitzer and mortar battalions a final check, then quickly walked over and asked, "Have you arranged the helicopter to pick up the artillery observer?"

The most dangerous operation tonight is the two artillery observation teams that infiltrated near the Japanese airport.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. That's my gold ingot."

Li Yunlong gave Zhao Gang a reassuring look.

He was actually a little nervous. Although Boss Lin agreed to send a helicopter to pick them up, the artillery observation team had infiltrated the enemy's hinterland after all. It was still unclear whether they could withdraw safely.

"That's good."

Zhao Gang nodded when he heard this, and the worry on his face eased a little.

Li Yunlong took out a cigarette, lit it, and started puffing away.

At this moment, Wang Chengzhu and Chen Xiushan ran over quickly and saluted Li Yunlong together.

"Report to the regiment commander, the political commissar's heavy-duty battalion is ready!"

Wang Chengzhu, commander of the heavy mortar battalion, reported loudly.

"Report to the regiment commander and political commissar, the second battalion of 105mm howitzers is ready!" Chen Xiushan reported loudly.

The new 105st Regiment formed a new 358mm howitzer battalion. Because Chen Xiushan made great contributions in the battle of cooperating with the 105th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to attack Datong, he was promoted to the battalion commander of the nd Battalion of mm Howitzers.

Li Yunlong looked in the direction of the howitzer battalion and the heavy mortar battalion, and saw that the artillerymen had separated the 24 105mm howitzers and 36 120mm heavy mortars according to orders.

Behind the gun positions of each heavy artillery battalion were ammunition boxes that had just been unloaded from large trucks and piled up like small mountains.

Li Yunlong gave careful consideration to the selection of artillery firepower for this mission.

The 152mm howitzer is more powerful, but compared to the 105mm howitzer, both the gun body and the shells are too heavy.

Boss Lin’s helicopters are divided into small, heavy, large and giant. The giant helicopters can carry locomotives, the large helicopters can carry tanks and large trucks, the medium helicopters can carry heavy artillery, and the small helicopters can carry mountain artillery, mortars and troop transports.

Only medium-sized or smaller helicopters can be used. If 152mm howitzers are used, they will not be able to carry many shells and artillerymen.

As for the 75 mountain cannon, its power is still a bit weak.

Although the mountain artillery has a faster rate of fire, the 105mm howitzer and 120mm mortar have a high rate of fire as well. They can both reach a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute at full speed.

Based on various considerations, Li Yunlong finally gave up the 152mm howitzer and 75mm mountain gun and chose the 120mm heavy mortar and 105mm howitzer.

The 120 Heavy Mortar Battalion was responsible for shelling Zhangjiakou Airport.

The 105nd Battalion of mm Howitzers was responsible for bombarding Datong Airport.

"good."

Li Yunlong looked at the heavy mortar battalion and the second 105mm howitzer battalion, and saw the artillerymen, all of whom were strong and muscular with bright eyes, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Among these artillerymen, except for a few new ones, most of them are elite gunners of the new regiment.

These elite gunners are the most valuable assets of the New 1st Regiment.

After more than ten minutes, some tapping sounds appeared in the sky, and Li Yunlong was suddenly shocked.

coming.

Everyone immediately raised their binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound. The lights of the helicopters seemed bright in the night sky.

At this time, a red flare rose slowly into the air from the airport, indicating the direction for the helicopter formation.

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you.

Not long after, a group of medium-sized helicopters slowly landed on the main runway of Dagu Town Airport.

Li Yunlong stared at the helicopter group greedily. If the New 1st Regiment had this helicopter group, it would be able to deliver the cannons, shells and artillery of the two artillery battalions to an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers within a few hours.

Li Yunlong felt terrified just thinking about the speed and efficiency of this delivery.

In addition to transporting artillery units, it can also deliver infantry, transport combat supplies, and rescue the wounded from the battlefield. It is simply an indispensable artifact for defending the country and killing Japanese pirates.

But Captain Li could only think about it. Even if Boss Lin gave these things to him, the New 1st Regiment currently had no pilots.

If we are discovered by the Japanese, they can send an air force unit to blow us up, which would be a lot of fun.

A young pilot wearing a helmet, with a well-proportioned figure and handsome face came over to negotiate with Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

After the two sides exchanged some combat details, the young pilot officer waved his hand.

Immediately, the pilots on the helicopters began to get busy, and the artillerymen continued to carry ammunition into the helicopters.

Half an hour later, the cannon was mounted under the helicopter, and the artillery and shells were loaded inside the helicopter.

As the sound of "da da da" rang out, a number of medium-sized helicopters suddenly took off and flew towards the northwest of northwest Shanxi.

The group of helicopters split into two in the air, one heading towards Datong and the other heading towards Zhangjiakou, and soon disappeared into the night.

Li Yunlong stared at the flying helicopter with a solemn expression. Whether he could make a fortune depended on this one night!
