Chapter 20 Accepting Entrustment
On March 21, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army set out, and the 5th War Zone finally adopted Zhang Zizhong's suggestion. The 5th War Zone ordered Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army and Tang Enbo's 20th Army to encircle the Japanese Fifth Division near Taierzhuang, and Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army was responsible for defending the north and west of Taierzhuang to prevent the rescue of the 8th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.
Seeing Zhang Zizhong tidy up his luggage, Zhang Yunfei knew that it was time to part.
Zhang Yunfei came to Zhang Zizhong and said affectionately: "Brother, we are about to part. As professional soldiers, we all have our own missions. We often have no choice but to do so, and we don't know when we will meet each other."
"Yes, I really don't know when I will meet again today, but brother, don't be too sad. If we have an urgent matter, we can still contact us on the radio." Zhang Zizhong comforted.
"Brother, I'm about to part. I wonder if I have anything to do with me. Although we only have more than 30 people, we are all special forces. I can carry out raids and fight against important military, political, economic and other targets that attack the enemy."
When Zhang Zizhong saw that Zhang Yunfei really wanted to help him, he suddenly thought of something, but it was too dangerous, but he wanted to speak but stopped. He didn't want his newly sworn brother to take this risk.
Seeing Zhang Zizhong's expression, Zhang Yunfei knew that there must be something that needs to be helped by himself, so he said sincerely: "Brother, my brother, just say it if you have something to do, I will definitely do it."
Perhaps infected by Zhang Yunfei's sincerity and frankness, Zhang Zizhong said: "In this Taierzhuang Battle, our army had more than 100,000 people and only more than 20,000 Japanese troops. We should have won, but the Japanese planes were too powerful and often shitted and urinated on our heads. Many brothers were killed by the planes. Now the little ghost has built a temporary airport outside Linyi. I am worried that after the Taierzhuang Battle, the little ghost's planes will frequently bomb our positions."
"Brother, don't worry, my special forces and I will help you get rid of Linyi Airport." Zhang Yunfei said firmly.
After patting Zhang Yunfei on the shoulder, Zhang Zizhong got on the jeep that had been waiting for a long time and left behind only a tall and tough back.
Since the target of this time was the Japanese airport in Linyi, Zhang Yunfei still did a lot of preparations before leaving, replenishing dry food and ammunition. There were still some bullets from Thomson's submachine guns, so Zhang Yunfei was not polite and asked each of the special forces members to replenish 200 bullets. Last time, the Japanese costumes seemed to have to be put in a backpack this time. Just in case if you need to use them, you should prepare them. Zhang Yunfei and the special forces members set off.
Two days later, after a long journey, Zhang Yunfei and the special forces team reached the outskirts of Linyi. Two or three kilometers away from the Japanese airport, Zhang Yunfei and others stopped and hid because it was an open plain. When they walked forward, they were in danger of being discovered by the Japanese.
Seeing the terrain here, Zhang Yunfei frowned. The terrain here is too wide. The Japanese airport is surrounded by open land several hundred meters wide.
Through the telescope, the little ghost's airport in the distance finally saw clearly.
This is a simple temporary airport with a large area, but there are only three or five cement pieces. Most of the places are exposed loess, but they are flattened by the little ghosts. Dozens of planes were parked on the loess, and only a few planes were parked on the cement runway.
On the east side of the airport, rows of simple barracks were built, which was probably the temporary camp of the Guards at the Airport. There was an open space outside the camp. Now the open space is full of a large amount of supplies, and the supplies are covered with thick rain cloth. These supplies are probably either ammunition or oil.
The airport was surrounded by barbed wire mesh of more than one person high, and a wooden guardhouse worth more than ten meters high was built every two or three hundred meters. A machine gun was installed on each guardhouse.
It is now broad daylight, and you can see the entire airport is full of shadows. It is estimated that the total number of people in the airport is two or three thousand.
The Japanese's airport can be said to be strictly guarded, and a strong attack is impossible. Not to mention that the large number of guard troops in the airport are enough to drink a pot by themselves. In addition, as long as the gunfire sounds, the Linyi defenders can reach the airport's support within ten minutes.
It seems that it is not feasible to use mortars to bombard the air at a distance. The airport is too empty. Although dozens of planes are parked, each plane is far apart. The ammunition and oil from the airport are stored in the open space on the east side. Using artillery can only destroy a few planes. It is difficult for aircraft and ammunition to explode, so the entire airport cannot be destroyed.
It seems that he can only sneak into the airport and look for opportunities. Zhang Yunfei ordered the special forces to take out the little ghost's military uniform from his backpack and put it on. Zhang Yunfei himself also put on the little ghost's military uniform of the little ghost.
Zhang Yunfei and his group of more than 30 people walked towards the airport with swaggers and met several patrol teams of the little ghosts on the road. Zhang Yunfei and the others quickly got the command to enter the airport.
At the airport entrance, Zhang Yunfei and his party were still stopped by the Japanese who were standing guard at the door. A small team leader of the Japanese who was in charge of guarding at the door quickly ran to Zhang Yunfei, stood attentively and saluted: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, the command."
Zhang Yunfei replied to the Japanese command in a pure Japanese Kyoto accent. Seeing that Zhang Yunfei's order was correct and with a strong Kyoto accent, the Japanese captain immediately stood attentively and saluted, asking the rest of the Japanese to move the roadblocks and let Zhang Yunfei let them go.
At this time, the Taierzhuang Battle was in full swing. The Chinese team had completed the encirclement of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army. The 5th Division of Itagaki Seishiro was surrounded by more than 20,000 troops of more than 100,000 troops of Zhang Zizhong and Tang Enbo. The 8th Infantry Brigade and the 109th Division of the Japanese Army who were reinforced to the north were firmly placed outside the Taierzhuang area by Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army.
The trapped Japanese 5th Division relied on the strong air support of the Japanese North China Front Army and resisted tenaciously. The battle lasted for a day and a night. The Zhongxun team suffered heavy casualties. The Fifth Division of Itagaki suffered more than 3,000 casualties, while the Zhongxun team had nearly 10,000 casualties.
Most of the casualties of the Chinese team were caused by the Little Knights' plane. If the airport was not removed, the war would continue like this. In the end, the 5th Division of the Japanese army might be annihilated, but the casualties of the Chinese team would definitely be severe.
Because of this, Zhang Zizhong suggested to Zhang Yunfei before leaving that he hoped that the special forces could take the Japanese Linyi Airport. As long as the Little Knight's Linyi Airport Airport was taken off, the pressure faced by the Chinese team would be greatly reduced.
At present, the entire Japanese army's North China Front Army has three airports, Peking Airport, Taiyuan Airport and Linyi Airport. Due to the range issues, the planes at Taiyuan Airport will not be able to bomb the Taierzhuang area. The planes at Peking Airport can only barely reach the Taierzhuang area, and the daily bombing volume will not be large.
It will not be like the plane at Linyi Airport, where you can reach the Taierzhuang area in less than half an hour for bombing, and frequent bombings can be carried out every day.
After Zhang Yunfei led the special forces into the airport, he finally saw the layout of the entire airport thoroughly. It was a rectangular airport, about five or six hundred meters wide and more than one thousand meters in length. Most of the aircraft at the airport were bombers, and only a small number of fighter planes.
Several bombs were parked on the concrete runway of the airport. It seemed that they could take off at any time. It was noon, and the pilots of the little ghost were eating. It was probably after dinner, a large number of planes would take off.
The ground crew was still busy, driving a tanker truck to fill the planes with fuel.
Today's third update, the second update is over, and there will be another update tonight. At the same time, Beike thanks everyone for their support, thank you.
