Chapter 280: Scuffle
The Americans left, and the crowd laughed at the American soldier named Little Turkey as they slowly walked down the slope and back to the airport.
Yu Yang watched these Americans walk into the barracks, and then slowly continued to move, little by little, slowly and leisurely moving forward, there was still a distance of more than 600 meters from the US military airfield, Yu Yang's target was a low pit 200 meters ahead, as long as he reached that position, he would enter the range of Yu Yang's target.
The movement was very slow, every time Yu Yang moved a distance of one or two meters forward, he had to stop and observe the situation around him, and after making sure that he was not discovered by the American soldiers, he moved forward again, and when the time came to more than one o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Yang finally successfully moved to the predetermined position, lying on the spot motionless, now what Yu Yang needs is to wait, wait for the opportunity.
The rain stopped, it fell again, the time had come to more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Yang lay on the ground and stared at the American sentry in the distance, there was no chance, the Americans' defense of the airport can be said to be invulnerable, Yu Yang could choose to kill a few American soldiers, and then retreat, but it took so long to approach the airport, Yu Yang had to do more than just kill a few American soldiers.
There was a roar in the sky, the Japanese bombers came, this is the third time that the Japanese bombers appeared in the sky above the US military airfield in an afternoon, at the beginning, the Japanese still had fighter escorts, but as a small number of fighters in the airport were shot down, damaged or blown up on the runway, the Japanese Air Force began to become arrogant, without fighter escort, swaggering appeared in the sky over the US airfield.
At the beginning of the bombing, the Japanese bombed some important targets at the airport, but the Americans could be said to be indifferent to the bombing of the Japanese, and the anti-aircraft fire hidden around them did not fire, allowing the Japanese to wreak havoc above their heads, and the Japanese bombers became even more arrogant after seeing this scene, and even flew to a low altitude of two or three hundred meters to drop bombs, and then pulled up.
At first, Yu Yang thought that the Japanese bombing the Americans was his own opportunity, but soon Yu Yang knew that he was thinking too much, even if the Japanese were raging above the Americans, the vigilance of the Americans' outer positions did not relax, and only some patrol teams routinely hid.
But Yu Yang knew that in addition to the patrol on the surface, the Americans had other people observing the surrounding area, this was not a good opportunity, a good hunter, the first thing to learn was to wait, waiting for the prey to show its flaws, waiting for a fatal opportunity.
After the bombing was over, the Japanese bombers began to fly toward the west after showing off their might and circling the US troops, and the US soldiers who had just been hiding also showed their heads as soon as the Japanese bombers left, and continued to be on guard, the only difference was that a US military squad of about 20 people walked out of the airfield and began to move southward.
The south is not an area of war between the Americans and the Japanese, this US military detachment should be looking for the patrol team that was killed by himself before, Yu Yang watched this patrol team walk into the bushes in the distance, and silently calculated in his heart, how long will it take for the US military to find the body, and there should not be much time left for him, once the Americans find out that the patrol is attacked, they will definitely be more vigilant, and Yu Yang will have fewer chances.
Just when Yu Yang began to think about retreating immediately, or to wait a little longer, there was a sound of gunfire from the north, although it was not big, but the gunfire could be clearly heard on a rainy day, and the distance from Yu Yang should not be too far.
Turning his head to look north, he saw that in the northern area of the airport, a group of Americans were retreating rapidly towards the airport in embarrassment, and there were Japanese fighters and bombers raging in the sky, and the Japanese counterattacked over, and the US troops not only failed to block the Japanese landing plan in the end, but the troops sent out to block the attack suffered heavy losses and fled back to the airport in a very embarrassed manner.
The Americans retreated, the Japanese did not intend to let these Americans go, the opportunity to beat the water dogs was not very often, and this group of Japanese had gone crazy, a Japanese brigade chased the soldiers of a battalion of American troops all the way from the beach to the vicinity of the airport, and these Japanese were followed not by their own friendly troops but by the Americans who were also retreating, and the Japanese pursuing force overtook the Americans and went around behind the Americans' butts.
If the Japanese succeed in encircling them, the American troops will be trapped by the Japanese except for the battalion running in the front, and what awaits them is the danger of annihilation, and it is clear that these pursuing Japanese are also planning to do this, some continue to chase the fleeing American soldiers, and some of them will begin to carry out civil engineering operations, preparing to completely block the route of the American army's retreat.
After seeing this scene, Yu Yang's eyes lit up, and the opportunity he was waiting for came, if the Americans did not act at this time, then it would be equivalent to giving the airport and thousands of US troops outside to the Japanese.
The U.S. troops in the airport couldn't help it, Yu Yang saw three U.S. tanks driving out of the tank bunkers, and then one company of U.S. soldiers began to assemble and rushed up from the airport, preparing to meet the Japanese who were pursuing all the way and provide some assistance for the retreat of their troops.
The Japanese pursued very frantically, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Japanese Fourth Brigade at the front, except for the rifles among the soldiers, did not carry any weapons at all, and rushed all the way to this position on the beach, and when they were about to storm the US airfield in one go, they suddenly found themselves in front of three iron guys, and the American tanks appeared.
The equipment of the Marine Corps is very backward, and the three tanks that came out are also backward models, if in peacetime, the Japanese use grenadiers or mortars may be able to turn these three old antiques into a ball of scrap metal, but now the fourth brigade does not have any anti-tank weapons except rifles.
The red-eyed Japanese soldiers rushed to the tank, driving and smashing the tank with a rifle, Yu Yang saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he always thought that the sad scene of the rifle smashing the tank would only appear on the Chinese battlefield, but he didn't expect the Japanese to do the same, but these Japanese only smashed twice, and they were directly beaten into a sieve by the machine gun.
Three tanks at the head, so that the frantically pursuing Japanese stopped the momentum of pursuit, no matter how fierce the Japanese are, they are flesh and blood, and the American tanks are made of steel, a shell, a shuttle bullet can take the lives of many Japanese, the comrades around them continue to fall, which stimulates the Japanese beastliness even more, and begins a crazy suicide attack, blowing up the tank with grenades, in addition to the Japanese soldiers climbing on the tank and preparing to force into the tank.
The Japanese and the Americans began a bloody battle not far in front of the airport, the airport was constantly supported by American soldiers, and the American army behind them also entered the battle, and the Japanese Fourth Brigade in front of the breakthrough was surrounded by the Americans, but soon, the Americans were surrounded by the rest of the Japanese troops who rushed to Japan.
