Chapter 617: The Airport
That's why handheld walkie-talkies are so important......
The significance of the handheld walkie-talkie lies in the fact that the units of the site can share information and intelligence in real time, so that the units can be closely linked together to form a whole. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For example, the sniper can easily coordinate with the attacking unit through a handheld walkie-talkie, and the attacking unit will know which places are safe and which places are guarded by the enemy, so they can safely rush around the corner, or should they drop a smoke grenade and then charge......
If you don't have a walkie-talkie and replace it with a walkie-talkie, it's hard to imagine carrying such a bulky gadget on your back and still working together on the battlefield.
Under such an offensive as the 2nd Independent Battalion, the airfield quickly fell back under the control of the Chinese army, and many Japanese troops at the airfield did not even react to their deaths...... When the Chinese army pointed their guns at them, they found that they were even carrying supplies from the warehouse.
Zhang Chi entered the airport in a jeep after the troops, and he looked at his watch...... It took only twenty-three minutes from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle.
In twenty-three minutes, a wing of Japanese troops was routed.
Twenty-three minutes later, a strategically important Urasoe airport was recaptured.
In the same 23 minutes, a large number of supplies and ammunition in the airport warehouse were returned to the hands of the Chinese and American coalition forces......
For this, the main reason is that the Japanese army also strictly ordered the protection of the warehouses and materials at the airport, which can be said to be the fate of the Japanese army who lacked materials.
Of course, another reason was that the 2nd Independent Battalion moved too quickly and ruthlessly, and as soon as they made a move, they dealt with their commander, so that they did not get the order to blow up the warehouse at all, and they didn't even have time to think about it.
"Hey, hey......" At this time, Zhang Chi's walkie-talkie rang again, and Geiger shouted anxiously in the walkie-talkie: "Major General, what's the situation?" The airfield has fallen, where are you? ”
"I'm at the airport!" Zhang Chi replied.
"What?" Geiger couldn't help but be stunned: "But...... Colonel Bill said...... They retreated, the Japanese occupied the airfield! ”
"He's right!" Zhang Chi replied: "But we took the airport back!" ”
"What?" Geiger on the other end of the phone was momentarily blindsided when he heard this.
"When?" It was a long time before Geiger asked.
"Just now!"
"And what about the Japanese?"
"We've wiped it out!"
……
"Uh......" Seeing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Zhang Chi added: "To be exact, not all of them have been eliminated...... Judging from the corpses, it is roughly estimated that more than 2,000 people were wiped out, and a small group of about 500 Japanese troops escaped by night. Sorry, General. You know, it's easy to run away in the dark! ”
Geiger cleared his throat in embarrassment on the other end of the phone, and Geiger collected his thoughts before replying, "No, Major General, you guys are doing well, quite well. In fact...... It's a fucking miracle! ”
Geiger couldn't believe this record until the end, he believed in Zhang Chi...... If it hadn't been reported by Zhang Chi, he wondered if the Chinese army was lying.
Geiger wasn't to blame for that, because it was a bit more than he could have imagined.
He was still worried about whether a Chinese battalion of 1,000 people could deal with more than 3,000 Japanese troops, but he didn't expect it in the blink of an eye...... Zhang Chi told him that the 3,000 Japanese troops had been wiped out!
"General!" Zhang Chi said: "If I can, I want to send a company to reinforce Yomitan Airport!" ”
"Of course!" Geiger replied.
"Besides......" Zhang Chi said again, "Colonel Bill and his men can come back to receive the airport!" ”
"Of course!" Geiger said, "I will order them to go back at once!" ”
This is what embarrassed Geiger, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Army, which was called the elite Marine Corps, was beaten and fled by the Japanese army, and in the blink of an eye, Chinese crippled the Japanese again, and even when the Chinese army crippled the Japanese, the U.S. military did not realize it, they thought that the Japanese were chasing after and ran wildly...... If this is the Chinese team against the US military, what kind of situation will it be?!
But in fact, it is often not comparable in actual combat.
The reason why the Chinese army was able to defeat the Japanese army so cleanly was because of the Japanese army's sniper tactics of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first" against the 2nd Independent Battalion, and the other was ...... It is Zhang Chi who is actually using the US military as bait.
In other words, Zhang Chi used the US military to attract the main force of the Japanese army into the encirclement, otherwise the main force of the Japanese army would not be so easy to step into.
A company of troops was quickly sent out from the airfield...... Yomitan Airport is supported by a battalion of fellow villagers, so it must not be a big problem, and then get a special company to reinforce it, and the Japanese army, which is undersupplied, wants to take Yomitan Airport is only afraid that it will be a dream.
In fact, as Zhang Chi thought, the compatriots were already inseparable from the Japanese army in the direction of the airport, and the reinforcement of a special company immediately changed the battlefield situation.
However, this is not Zhang Chi's concern, after the 2nd Independent Battalion successfully won the Putian Airport, Zhang Chi realized the strength of the 2nd Independent Battalion...... This was also the first actual combat of the 2nd Independent Battalion since its formation, and this actual combat proved the results of the training of the 2nd Independent Battalion.
Therefore, Zhang Chi is very relieved about Yomitan Airport.
Zhang Chi was concerned about the group of American GIs who drove back from the road...... Because Colonel Bill did not believe that the Chinese forces had recaptured the airfield in any way, Zhang Chigeiger said.
"It can't be!" Colonel Bill said: "General, we just withdrew from the airport, and we didn't see any Chinese along the way!" It must have been a Japanese conspiracy, you know...... The Japanese are very similar to the Chinese, and the Japanese often disguise themselves as Chinese! ”
"But ......," Geiger replied, "I'm sure it's the voice of Major General Zhang Chi!" ”
"Perhaps...... Major General Zhang Chi has been captured by the Japanese! Colonel Bill speculated: "He said this under duress from the Japanese, in order to induce us to go back!" ”
"God!" Geiger said, "Just look back and see if there are any Japanese chasing you, and maybe send a few scouts to see if you have them!" ”
Colonel Bill did so, only to report the scouts ...... "There were Japanese corpses all the way, everywhere, at least thousands!" ”
The scout even asked, "Colonel, which unit did this?" Sergeant Tom guessed...... Did the general transfer a division back? Because he thought that it would take at least one division to crush this Japanese army in such a short time! ”
That's when Bill realized that what Geiger said might be true.
