Chapter 334 Breakout?(1/2)
After bombing Niangzi Pass, Wei Dayong led the flight formation to fly southwest.
More than an hour later, we successfully landed at Yuncheng Airport.
As soon as they got off the plane, Chen Feng and Duan Peng hurried over.
The two of them paid a military salute to Wei Dayong, and Duan Peng asked with concern: "Chief of Staff, is everything going well?"
"It went very well." Wei Dayong nodded, "We blew up the Taiyuan Airport and Niangzi Pass, and air-dropped all the weapons and ammunition to the regimental commander and the others."
Duan Peng looked delighted: "That's great!"
Wei Dayong asked: "Have the brothers who bombed Xinxiang Airport come back?"
"is back."
Chen Feng replied: "Xinxiang Airport and the dozens of planes at the airport have all been destroyed. They followed the second wave of bombers to bomb the Japanese on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain."
Wei Dayong asked again: "Oh? Did the bombing of the Japanese go well?"
"It went very well." Chen Feng said, "The first wave of bombing, according to Ge Erdan, killed at least several thousand Japanese. In addition, it also bombed the 41st Division headquarters. It is expected that the second wave of bombing will continue
Kill thousands of Japs!"
Wei Dayong grinned when he heard this, this was the effect he wanted.
If you dare to massacre innocent Chinese people, you will have to pay the price with blood!
Later, Wei Dayong asked: "Have the Japanese made any movement?"
The three of them walked into the airport tower, and Chen Feng said: "According to the news from the reconnaissance plane, there are a large number of Japs coming towards us from the east, west, south and north."
"Oh?" Wei Dayong's expression changed slightly, "Where are the Japs and how many troops are there?"
His strategic goal has been achieved, and it is time to withdraw.
But now there are Japs everywhere, and they are in the heart of the Japanese army.
It is not that easy to evacuate safely after being exposed.
Chen Feng pointed at the map and said: "The Japs from the west have arrived at Zhangying Town, the Japs from the north have just set off from Wenxixian, the Japs from the south have arrived at Pinglu area, and the Japs from the Northeast are closest to us and have already arrived from Xia County.
Hurry, these four groups of devils have a small number of trucks and motorcycles. Excluding the infantry, these trucks and motorcycles can reach the airport in the fastest two hours."
Wei Dayong narrowed his eyes when he heard this, he was really surrounded by enemies from all sides now.
Chen Feng continued: "The three groups of Japanese troops in the east, west and south are almost in one group, with no more than a thousand people. The ones in the north are the most numerous, with a full regiment. I suggest that we start from the east, west and south.
Choose one of these three directions to break out."
Wei Dayong quickly and carefully analyzed the current situation, and then said: "Let's break out to the north!"
Both Duan Peng and Chen Feng were suddenly startled, heading north... there was a regiment coming towards them.
Although their special operations battalion is strong, it only has more than 500 people. It is not that difficult to defeat a regiment head-on and then break through.
If they were facing a large group of Japanese soldiers, the special operations battalion would be completely confident of breaking through.
Both of them were a little confused and didn't understand. Why didn't they choose the weak Japs group and instead chose to break out in the direction where the Japs were the strongest?
Wei Dayong said: "Look, we have only one way to go to the west and south, and that is to cross the Yellow River. To the east is the battlefield between the Japanese and the national army. We don't need to go to the muddy water. We can only go north. Only then can we return to Taihang and Taiyue base areas."
Duan Peng and Chen Feng analyzed it carefully and found that this is true.
But right now, there is a Japanese regiment in the special operations camp to the north, with a total of 34,000 people!
Moreover, there are also Japs coming from other directions. Once dragged by the Japs, the Japs from other directions will quickly surround them and tear them apart completely!
Wei Dayong said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, you immediately arrange bombers to blow up the Japanese trucks and motorcycles on the roads in all four directions to buy time!"
Chen Feng immediately replied: "Yes!"
Wei Dayong asked: "Where is Gensheng?"
Wang Gensheng had been outside, and when he heard Wei Dayong calling him, he quickly walked in: "Report!"
"Gensheng." Wei Dayong asked, "Have you killed the Japanese and puppet troops in Yuncheng?"
"Report to the Chief of Staff!" Wang Gensheng said, "The fuel we buried on the road burned all the Japanese to death, but not the puppet troops..."
"It doesn't matter." Wei Dayong said, "Just burn the Japanese. The puppet army poses no threat to us."
Wei Dayong added: "There is a Japs unit in the north now, and they are rushing towards us. Are you sure we can use this method to deal with this Japs again?"
Duan Peng and Chen Feng looked surprised when they heard this. It turned out that the chief of staff wanted to use this method.
Why didn't I think of that?
Wang Gensheng thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but chief of staff, the enemy is a regiment. I'm afraid we don't have enough fuel. We can't use all of it. We have to transport some back."
"I have already thought of it for you." Wei Dayong said, "Use aerial bombs."
"Aerial bomb?"
"That's right!" Wei Dayong said, "I see there are a lot of aerial incendiary bombs in the warehouse. All of them will be transported there. If there are not enough, use conventional aerial bombs!"
The arsenal has a very abundant reserve of aerial bombs, at least more than a thousand, and less than 600 are currently consumed.
It is feasible to convert aerial bombs into landmines. Brigadier Chen Geng did this before. He asked arsenal technicians to reload the fuzes with stink bombs dropped by the Japanese army, and transformed a batch of anti-tank mines. Although they were bulky, they were more powerful!
The 386th Brigade used this Big Mac to blow up a Japanese Type 97 tank in Lucheng. Brigadier Chen Geng once visited the arsenal to express his gratitude.
However, there is no need to reinstall the fuze at the moment. The aerial bomb can be detonated directly with a detonator. The aerial bombs left over from the war in later generations were detonated in this way.
A large number of detonators were seized in Guanshan Town before, and this time they were intended to be used to blow up airplanes at Yuncheng Airport, so they carried plenty of detonators.
Wei Dayong said: "Similar to detonating fuel, as long as the detonator is tightly wrapped around the aerial bomb and detonated, the explosive energy it generates can detonate the aerial bomb."
Wang Gensheng immediately nodded and said: "Chief of Staff, I understand!"
Wei Dayong checked the time: "We still have...three hours. The fuel will be airdropped by transport planes, the bombs will be transported by cars, the artillery company will stay behind to guard the airport, and all the soldiers from the first, second and third companies will go and dig."
pit!"
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng saluted and quickly walked out.
He had done this job once before and was familiar with it. The first step was to choose a good place and send sentries to block the road.
Then dig a hole, bury fuel and bombs in it, and wait for the Japanese to press the detonator when they pass by, and that's it.
…
On the Yangquan to Niangziguan Zhengtai Railway.
A freight train was driving slowly eastward on the railway track. The train drivers were all Chinese.
But sitting in the middle carriage were nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets and holding 38 rifles.
These soldiers were not baggage troops, but the Japanese First Army, responsible for protecting the infantry transporting baggage to North China.
There were two teams responsible for escorting the freight train this time.
Hiding soldiers in carriages has become a routine operation of the Japanese army, which was feared by the Eighth Route guerrillas.
Because there are often Eighth Route Army guerrillas who watch the trains, pick up trains, and steal supplies.
There were even Eighth Route Army guerrillas who formed a special railway guerrilla unit to carry out armed robbery of supplies and harvest wool from passing freight trains.
As a last resort, the Japanese came up with the cunning trick of hiding soldiers in a carriage. It must be said that this cunning trick was very effective. When the guerrillas opened the door and saw a car of Japanese soldiers inside, they would often tremble in fright.
After using this method, the number of freight train robberies has been greatly reduced.
In addition to the Japs in the carriage, there were several heavy machine gun fire points built with sandbags on the top of the carriage.
Because it is an ordinary freight train, there is no armored train to escort it. Of course, this is it. Ordinary guerrillas have to weigh their ideas carefully.
The freight train is traveling at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
In the fourth carriage, Lieutenant Shuichi Sakurai, the Japanese commander in charge of the escort, was drinking sake with two squad leaders in the carriage. The sudden sound of gunfire broke the atmosphere.
"Baga!" Lieutenant Sakurai slammed his wine glass on the table.
After a while, a Japanese soldier hurried in to report.
"Report to the lieutenant that a group of Eighth Route Cavalry is robbing the train!"
"Nani?" Shuichi Sakurai hurriedly looked out through the carriage.
Dozens of Chinese cavalrymen were running behind the train on the road next to them. Under the fire from the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the top of the carriage, two cavalrymen were immediately shot down and dismounted.
The cavalry on one side attracted firepower, while the cavalry on the other side passed by like a gust of wind, and a bundle of cluster grenades was thrown onto the roof of the vehicle.
With a loud bang, the Japanese behind the sandbags screamed and fell from the roof of the car.
Sakurai Shuichi's expression changed immediately when he saw this scene. This group of Eighth Route Army is not a guerrilla, but the main cavalry of the Eighth Route Army!
Sakurai Shuichi immediately ordered: "Order the driver to speed up!"
"Hi!" The Japanese soldier paused and walked quickly towards the front of the car.
The cavalry battalion commander Sun Desheng had already reached the front of the car on his horse. He bowed down from his horse, grabbed the handle of the car tightly and entered the cab.
At the same time, soldiers from the cavalry battalion also climbed onto each carriage.
Two Chinese men in railway work clothes, one an old driver responsible for driving the train and the other a young man responsible for shoveling coal, saw a group of eight people coming in. Their expressions changed and they raised their hands obediently.
