523 Destroy the Airport
It was not Sun Liren's new 38th Division that was mobilized.
Instead, it was Ye Qingshan's most elite and combat-capable special operations regiment and the most mobile armored regiment.
The two regiments were ordered to take a detour and conduct a long-distance raid.
In this way, they could avoid the attention of the Japanese 33rd Division.
The Japanese thought that Ye Qingshan's attack on Yenangyaung was definitely to mobilize the New 38th Division, which was the closest to the city.
Little did they know that the armored regiment and special operations regiment, which took a long detour, could reach Yenangyaung faster than the new 38th Division, which was closer.
The key to fighting is speed and surprise.
The special operations regiment reached the outskirts of the Japanese Yenangyaung Airport first.
According to the agreement, the battle will be started by the special operations regiment.
After all, armored regiments move fast.
If the armored regiment takes action first and the special operations regiment has not yet decided on a predetermined attack position, it will be troublesome.
“It will be dawn soon.
Speed up your action.
The first, second, and third battalions launched a surprise attack on the Japanese airport from three directions.
This time, there is no distinction between main attacker and cover attacker, you are all fucking main attackers.
After the fight starts, rush into the airport as quickly as possible.
Destroy all the enemy fighter planes inside, and don't let any escape."
Black Bear then gave orders to the commanders of several main battalions under his command.
"Don't worry, Commander. We won't let any of the Japanese fighter planes escape."
"Artillery Battalion, after the attack begins, keep providing fire support at all times and clear the way for the attacking troops."
"Yes!"
Black Bear glanced at his watch and said again: "It is now 5:10, we will attack at 5:30 sharp.
Dispersed. "
The battalion commanders left immediately and returned to their respective battalions to make pre-war preparations.
When the time came, a red flare was launched into the air.
The special operations regiment and its three main battalions launched attacks in three directions simultaneously.
They made use of the special operations regiment's expertise in sneak attacks and night combat, and eliminated many of the Japanese secret guards outside the Yenangyaung Airport in advance.
After the attack began, the first thing they did was to destroy the Japanese firepower points defending the periphery.
"Go, go, go!"
The battalion commanders shouted loudly.
Like three sharp arrows, they pierced the Japanese Yenangyaung Airport from three directions.
Boom boom boom!
The artillery battalion directly used the 81mm mortars in their hands to frantically bombard the Japanese defensive positions.
The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing shook the sky.
Inside the airport, defending the airport were a squadron of the Japanese Sakai Battalion and 2,200 Japanese puppet troops.
The Japanese squadron leader, who was awakened by the sound of gunfire, rushed out of the command center in panic without even putting on his military uniform.
"what happened?"
The Japanese squadron leader shouted.
"Sir, this is bad.
The Chinese are attacking."
A Japanese second lieutenant officer ran over in panic and reported the situation.
"Nani?"
"Baga, you despicable Chinaman.
Quick, gather all the soldiers and stop the Chinese from attacking immediately. Don't let them get to the airport."
After the Japanese squadron leader figured out the situation, he roared angrily.
At this time, in the barracks inside the airport, more Japanese soldiers and traitors had rushed out with weapons in hand.
Participate in the battle to block the special operations regiment and attack the airport.
But unfortunately, the military strength of both sides was almost the same.
The special operations battalion that took the initiative and launched a surprise attack gained a huge advantage.
Less than half an hour after the attack began, the assault troops of the first battalion were under the cover of three tanks and several armored vehicles.
They broke through the two lines of defense set up by the Japanese outside the airport.
Rushed into Yenangyaung Airport.
Boom!
The airport gate was directly blown away by the shells.
Da da da!
On the incoming tanks and armored vehicles, the special operations soldiers operated machine guns and fired crazily.
On flat terrain, the special operations regiment's firepower advantage is best demonstrated.
A large number of machine guns, rockets and mortars directly suppressed the Japanese defenders, who hid around the barracks and were unable to move.
As long as they rush out, they will basically be killed.
As time went on, more soldiers from the special operations regiment rushed into the airport.
"Quick, the commandos are suppressing the Japanese defenders.
Demolition team, it's your turn to act.
Blow up all the Japanese fighter planes for me."
After rushing into the airport, the leading second lieutenant of the special operations battalion shouted loudly to the groups of demolition soldiers behind him.
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the demolition team responded excitedly after hearing this, and then immediately dispersed.
Rushing towards the distant airport runway, there were Japanese fighter planes parked there.
These demolition soldiers were divided into teams of five, carrying explosive packs, bundles of long-handled grenades, and a rocket launcher.
Their mission was to blow up all the Japanese fighter planes in the airport.
The process of their rushing over was smooth.
There was almost no resistance from the Japanese.
Because the commandos rushing ahead of them had already cleared the place ahead of time.
Any Japanese soldiers who dared to rush out to block the way were killed by the commandos.
The demolition soldiers quickly rushed under the Japanese fighter planes.
He excitedly pulled the fuse of the explosive pack and then placed it under the belly of the plane.
Boom!
A moment later, with a loud bang, the first Japanese fighter plane was blown into a fireball and turned into a pile of burning scrap metal.
"First!"
The soldiers of the demolition team were extremely excited when they saw their masterpiece.
Then, immediately pounce on the next new target.
"It's over!"
In the distance, the Japanese squadron leader was still commanding the Japanese defenders, trying to launch a counterattack and drive the special operations regiment out of the airport.
Even from a distance, one could clearly see the Japanese fighter plane being blown up.
He suddenly turned pale and became hysterical.
"Haha, fried well."
The black bear was very happy after seeing this scene.
Their surprise attack on the Japanese airport seems to be going very smoothly at the moment.
The Japanese had about thirty fighter planes parked at the Yenangyaung Airport.
This morning, it was all destined to become scrap metal.
Buzz!
On the airport runway, some Japanese pilots rushed over and blew up their planes before the soldiers of the demolition team could.
He rushed onto the fighter plane first and wanted to take off.
There was already a fighter plane taxiing on the runway.
"Huzi, what the hell are you looking at?
Hurry, take down that taxiing Japanese fighter plane for me.
Never let him take off.
Otherwise, we will be humiliated this time."
A second lieutenant officer who was leading the demolition team became angry when he saw the Japanese fighter plane taxiing in the distance.
He shouted angrily to a bazooka shooter following behind him.
"Yes!"
Without saying a word, the rocket launcher operator immediately cooperated with another companion to load rockets into the rocket launcher.
He quickly aimed at the gliding Japanese fighter plane and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh!
A moment later, a rocket with a tail flame headed straight for the Japanese's gliding fighter plane.
"Baga, you damned Chinese, just wait for me."
The Japanese fighter pilot who was about to take off had a ferocious look on his face, and was still thinking about taking off to retaliate against the special operations regiment.
Unfortunately, the next second, his fighter plane had just glided off the ground when a rocket from behind hit him.
It exploded into a fireball in the air.
(I'm begging for a small gift!)
