Chapter 772: No Complete Corpse Can Be Found
Weidong squatted down, summarized the information and drew it on the ground.
“If we want to attack the airport, we must destroy the watchtowers in four directions so that our soldiers can avoid being swept by the searchlights and then we can shoot them down.
Once the enemy's anti-aircraft machine gun hits a person, there is no possibility of survival.
Therefore, we must first sneak into the airport and create explosions inside the airport to attract the enemy's attention. Then we will approach the airport, use rocket launchers to directly attack the enemy's watchtowers, and use mortars to attack the oil depot and hangar! "
"Brigade Commander, why don't we just charge in?"
"No, the traffic conditions around Hulan Airport are very good. If we are attacked, the enemy will surely send reinforcements quickly. We will be under great pressure at that time.
Moreover, we only have two 81mm mortars, so we can only attack the key targets first!
Therefore, we can only take advantage of the fact that the Japanese are concentrating their energy on the interior, and we can take the opportunity to advance to within 300 meters, enter the range of the mm fire, and destroy the enemy's watchtower. "
After Wei Dong finished speaking, he looked at the leaders of the various groups surrounding him.
"Any questions?"
"Brigade Commander, if the enemy's planes are not all parked in the hangar, then our mortars cannot directly destroy them. What should we do then?"
"We still have a secret weapon. If the mortar attack fails or there are still fish that slip through the net, we will directly cover them with firepower. But this is our last trump card. We can't use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary!"
After reaching a consensus, everyone decided to rest for one night and launch the attack at twelve o'clock the next night.
The moon and stars are rare.
Wei Dong, who had just closed his eyes, was awakened by the communicator.
"Brigade Commander, the Chief of Staff has an urgent message!"
Wei Dong suddenly opened his eyes and took the flashlight.
"Bring it!"
Wei Dong's expression began to become solemn, and his face was covered with pimples.
"Immediately ask the soldiers monitoring the airport if there is any unusual movement at the airport!"
Weidong raised his watch and saw that the hour hand was pointing to three o'clock.
"Brigade Commander, the enemy planes are starting to refuel and load bombs!"
"Shit, everyone is acting according to the plan!"
He never expected that the enemy would be so anxious to launch an attack, and if the chief of staff had not discovered that the enemy cavalry was beginning to get ready to go at the position on the north side of Saida, a big mistake would have almost occurred.
The first and second teams sneak into the airport and plant bombs.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth groups attacked the enemy's watchtower from the southeast, northwest and northeast directions respectively after the bombs exploded.
The seventh team operated two 81mm mortars and fired at the oil depot, hangar and control tower respectively.
After the gap in the airport was opened, the eighth and ninth groups immediately rushed in and used the rocket launchers in their hands to attack the remaining scattered targets.
The tenth group serves as a reserve team, ready to provide support at any time.
The guard squad supported by Wang Meng was responsible for operating the 107mm rocket launcher, waiting for orders, and covering the airport with artillery fire.
"We must launch an attack within half an hour!"
The first and second groups were already near the airport. After cutting the barbed wire in the southeast corner, they took advantage of the gaps between the rotation of the searchlights to lurk in the drainage ditch inside the airport.
Although the drainage ditch is wide enough to accommodate an adult, it is less than 40 centimeters deep and can only be crawled in.
The first and second groups each selected two soldiers, who were asked to carry backpacks full of time bombs, crawl along the drainage ditch, and then throw the bombs into the bushes in the opposite direction of the other four groups' expected attack.
Originally, the first and second groups wanted to follow the drainage ditch to find the Japanese, the hangar and the oil depot, but because the distance was too far and the ground was flat without any obstruction, they had to give up.
Half an hour later, violent explosions occurred in all directions of Hulan Airport.
Alarms rang throughout the airport. Searchlights on the People's Army's observation tower began shining toward the site of the explosion, and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns began firing at the location where the fire had flashed.
"Order the third to sixth combat teams to launch an attack immediately!"
The soldiers of the four combat teams were already extremely hungry and thirsty, so they jumped out of the bushes and, according to the established plan, two of them cut the barbed wire and pulled it apart.
Two riflemen immediately stepped forward, crawled through the barbed wire, and after confirming it was safe, they packed up their bags and three soldiers carrying rocket launchers immediately rushed towards the target watchtower.
After running 200 meters amidst the constant explosions in the dark, I finally arrived within meters of the watchtower!
"Hold your breath, aim! 3-2-1, fire!"
Three rockets were fired at the top, middle and bottom of the ten-meter-high reinforced concrete!
Several loud bangs echoed through the sky, and the four watchtowers in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest were engulfed in thick black smoke.
"attack!"
The combat team did not stop at all and ran towards the watchtower at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Without the threat of searchlights and heavy machine guns, the soldiers were like night elves and rushed to the bottom of the watchtower within a minute!
"Clean up!"
Four soldiers guarded under the watchtower, while the rest of the soldiers continued to sweep the building, sending the shocked People's Army soldiers to hell and successfully occupying the watchtower.
The news of the watchtowers being taken down kept coming back to Weidong. After fifteen minutes, all four towers were taken down!
"Order Team 7 to approach the edge of the airport and bombard the oil depot, hangar, and control tower!"
Just as Wei Dong gave the order, a hurried voice came from the walkie-talkie:
"Brigade Commander, I am from the third group. The enemy planes are preparing to take off. Requesting instructions!"
"Fuck, is that enough distance?"
"I estimate it's 500 meters, it's out of reach!"
"The first and second groups are the closest, rush over at all costs!"
After receiving the order, the first and second groups immediately advanced on the runway regardless of the fire from the enemy's heavy machine guns.
After suffering heavy casualties, the soldiers finally destroyed the enemy's heavy machine gun position and then moved within the range of the Type 40 fire.
"Ready to shoot!"
Just as the soldiers were about to pull the trigger of the 15-gun, an I- fighter jet of the People's Army suddenly turned its nose around, and streams of metal jets shattered the first and second groups into pieces.
Wei Dong held up the walkie-talkie, and a trembling and hoarse voice came from it:
"Brigade Commander, the first and second groups are all dead. It was the enemy planes that opened fire on the ground!"
Wei Dong took a breath of cold air. He didn't expect that the People's Army Air Force would think of this and open fire directly on the ground!
He knew better than anyone the power of the large-caliber bullets of this aircraft-mounted machine gun!
Wei Dong closed his eyes in pain. The first and second groups would probably not be able to find a complete body.
As if tasting the sweetness of success, the People's Air Force pointed its nose at the watchtower in the west...
