Although at the beginning, the Japs in Wusu Airport regarded Wang Chengzhu and the others as their own, as the tank convoys continued to approach the airport, the Japs finally realized that something was wrong.

Because even if those driving these tanks were the Imperial Japanese Army, after wiping out the Eighth Route Army that was blocking the way, shouldn't they return to their depot?

Why did he rush towards the airport in such a fierce manner?

Moreover, behind these tanks, there were actually a large number of soldiers following.

Before, they were far apart, and they thought they were fellow airport guards. But as the distance got closer, they finally recognized each other's identity: the Eighth Route Army!

Because the soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment Reconnaissance Battalion, First Battalion, and Second Battalion were not wearing Japanese uniforms, but were wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms.

Since Koichi Kobayashi, captain of the airport security brigade, had not returned from reinforcements to the Takesu Military Station, the command of the airport security brigade temporarily fell into the hands of brigade deputy Matsushima Musashi.

Matsushima Musashi did not expect that the opponents he encountered this time would be so fierce. Wasn't their purpose to rescue the underground gangs imprisoned in the Wusu Military Station? How come after they succeeded, instead of escaping, they even prepared to attack the airport?

You know, the reinforcements from the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade are already on the way and will arrive in half an hour at the latest.

Therefore, when the sentry on the observation deck sent out a signal that it was actually the Eighth Route Army that was rushing toward the airport, Matsushima Musashi couldn't help but look surprised.

In Matsushima Musashi's view, those who attacked the military station must have been a small force of the Eighth Route Army, only a few hundred people at most, because the large force of the Eighth Route Army could not reach the vicinity of Taiyuan City.

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army had already learned that reinforcements from the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade were on the way, and was unable to break out and run away, so it simply broke the pot and tried to bite them again before dying?

The heads of these Eighth Route Army troops are really strong.

However, this is not important. Since you don’t want to live anymore, I will help you.

No matter how strong your heads are, you are destined to be beaten to a bloody head this time!

Matsushima Musashi thought to himself.

There was even a hint of joy in the little devil's heart. Captain Kobayashi Koichi led reinforcements and was attacked. He might have been shattered in the battle.

If he eliminates this incoming Eighth Route Army, he can accumulate a lot of military merit, and maybe his military position and rank can be further improved.

Promoted from Lieutenant Battalion Deputy to Major Captain.

Therefore, when Matsushima Musashi came to the airport gate and saw the fiercely approaching Eighth Route Army armored convoy not far away, he seemed to regard them as his military medals.

Although the Eighth Route Army grabbed tanks from Wusu Depot, and the Eighth Route Army actually knew how to drive tanks, Matsushima Musashi was a little surprised, but he didn't care.

So what if the Eighth Route Army robbed a few tanks? So what if they knew how to drive tanks?

The security brigade has a combat artillery squad under its jurisdiction.

The three 37mm-caliber combat anti-cannons of the combat artillery team were enough to destroy the five tanks before they approached the airport gate.

Of course, this is just Matsushima Musashi's self-righteous idea.

Because as a time traveler, Wang Chengzhu has filmed hundreds of Anti-Japanese War dramas and has carefully studied the history of the Anti-Japanese War. Of course, he knows that important bases such as the Japanese Airport will usually deploy direct war defense artillery.

Aiming at artillery.

In fact, in the first two years of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese airports not only had combat anti-aircraft guns, but also deployed anti-aircraft guns.

It was only after the Battle of Wuhan that the anti-aircraft guns at the Japanese Airport were gradually dismantled.

The reason is very simple. At this time, the national army no longer had an air force, and the Japanese anti-aircraft guns naturally became a display.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu thought of countermeasures from the beginning.

On the Japanese artillery position at the airport.

"Order!" Matsushima Musashi fiercely pulled out the saber in his hand, waved it forward, and said ferociously: "Combat anti-artillery team, prepare!"

Upon receiving the hit, the Japanese artillerymen of the combat artillery team immediately removed the camouflage on the artillery, then turned the muzzle direction and aimed it at the end of the road outside the airport gate.

However, the Japanese artillery did not fire at the first opportunity, but wanted to wait for Wang Chengzhu and others to get closer to ensure that the first hit was achieved.

However, just when the tank convoy was about to approach the airport gate 1,500 meters away, a "hurricane" sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the night sky not far away.

Matsushima Musashi was startled when he heard the sound. He subconsciously followed the sound and saw at least 20 fireballs, dragging eye-catching tail flames and rushing toward the airport.

"Baga! It's artillery. How can there be artillery of the Eighth Route Army here, and how can they have artillery of this size?"

As soon as Matsushima Musashi asked his doubts, a large number of shells fell one after another near the airport gate.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! -"

As soon as the shells hit the ground, they exploded one after another, turning the area near the airport gate into a sea of ​​flames.

Although Wang Chengzhu was not sure where the Japanese anti-war artillery was deployed, he guessed the approximate location, which must be near the airport gate.

Because there is a large minefield deployed outside Wusu Airport, even if it is attacked, the opponent can only attack from the gate.

Therefore, combat defense artillery can naturally only be deployed near the airport gate.

Wang Chengzhu's speculation is undoubtedly correct.

Moreover, for coverage bombing, there is no need to know the distance and position of the target, only the approximate location is enough.

Several of the Type 92 infantry cannon shells happened to land on the Japanese artillery position, and the huge explosion shock wave immediately knocked away a large area of ​​Japanese artillery on the position.

Two of the combat defense guns also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Although there was still one combat anti-aircraft gun that could be used, the remaining Japanese artillerymen were obviously frightened and all left their gun positions and hid in nearby fortifications.

Facts have proved that their choice was extremely correct, because almost as soon as they got into the fortifications, the second salvo of the artillery battalion of the Second Independent Regiment came down again.

Then came the third, fourth, and even fifth volleys.

Since the Japanese artillery had the foresight to hide within the fortifications in advance, the subsequent rounds of salvo fire from the artillery battalion did not cause significant casualties to them.

However, the last anti-tank gun was blown into a pile of scrap metal during these rounds of salvo fire.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's target was obviously not just the Japanese artillery positions, but the entire airport gate and all the Japanese positions nearby.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! -"

In the violent explosion, the area near the airport gate was directly blown into a sea of ​​​​fire. The sandbags on the fortifications burst and flew across. Countless Japanese soldiers were blown away with their weapons. The scene was a mess, and screams and wails could be heard one after another.

It kept ringing.
