Chapter 616: Airport

If he only killed and injured the Japanese army as much as possible, Zhang Chi might choose to fight in the original position for a while longer, after all, the Japanese army at this time had fallen into the encirclement of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army also had artillery fire to block the retreat of the Japanese army, plus the Chinese army did a good job of camouflage and firepower superiority, so the casualties of the Japanese army would definitely be bigger and bigger.

The problem is ...... Zhang Chi's purpose was not only to kill and injure the Japanese army, but also to recapture the airfield.

Zhang Chi believed that the Japanese troops stationed at the airport did not know the situation here at this time.

This was because the Japanese commanders, communications troops, etc. were killed by snipers at the first time, and the Japanese army simply did not have the time or opportunity to contact the Japanese troops stationed at the airport.

The other is because the Japanese army has been chasing and killing the American army before this, so it is normal for there to be gunfire and explosions in this direction, at most the Japanese troops stationed at the airport think that this more intensive gunfire is to meet the interception of the US military.

Therefore, Zhang Chi hoped to chase these Japanese soldiers all the way back to the airport, and then recapture the airport with lightning speed, and eliminate the Japanese troops who attacked Urasoe Airport by the way.

Zhang Chi's idea was right, because the Japanese troops stationed at the airport really didn't realize this...... This is a bit too unexpected, the last second the Japanese army was a complete victory and unstoppable, and the next second the Japanese army who had just gone out was beaten and fled back...... This strong contrast was not expected even by Aitanakasa, who had been on the battlefield for ten years.

Therefore, when Ai Tanaka saw a large number of Japanese troops retreating, one of his reactions was...... The Yankees brought back the tank troops.

This was a problem that the Japanese army had always been worried about, although on the whole, that is, from the point of view of Ushijima Man, they were not worried about the US army transferring the tank units back to the airfield, because this would allow the Japanese tank units to successfully break through.

But from Aitanakasa's point of view, he has been worried about this, because it is likely to mean the destruction of himself and his subordinates...... The Americans' "Sherman" tank is really like a harvester, and the Japanese have no choice but to go up and blow it up with a bag of explosives.

As a result, Idamanakasa's first preparation for the occupation of the airfield was to find anti-tank equipment from US warehouses, including anti-tank guns and rocket launchers, especially bazookas...... There are a lot of these things in the warehouses of the US military, and it is also a single weapon, which is very suitable for an army like the Japanese army with underdeveloped logistics capabilities.

At this time, Aitanaka even began to organize the Japanese army to learn the use of bazookas.

The Japanese troops suddenly fled back in large numbers, shouting as they fled: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!" ”

Of course, Tanakasa's first reaction was the tank unit of the US army, so he ordered his subordinates to bring up the anti-tank guns and bazookas.

But soon Tanaka found out that he was wrong, there was no tank at all at night, and there was no roar of tanks, only dark shadows like ghosts behind the Japanese army......

Aitanaka quickly realized something and hurriedly ordered: "Fire!" ”

The Japanese soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, it was their own people under their guns...... Even if you have an enemy behind you, if you want to hit the enemy, you must first kill your own people.

"Bastard, fire!" Aitanaka scolded: "Execute the order!" ”

"Yes!" The Japanese responded and raised their guns......

But it was too late, the Chinese snipers were already in position on a high ground or in a tree, and their firing range had already crossed the Chinese troops and even the retreating Japanese troops were pointing at the Japanese troops guarding the airfield.

"Bang Bang ......"

It was not the Japanese rifles that fired first, but the rifles of Chinese snipers, and these bullets accurately knocked down the important targets in the Japanese defense line one by one, and Aitanaka Sasa was also knocked to the ground at the first time......

Japanese officers have always liked to be on the front line, and they need to show their "courage" to motivate their subordinates, which is no problem in general, especially when the Japanese are against American troops...... If the equipment is not as good as that of the US military, then the only way to motivate morale is through officers fighting on the front line.

However, if the enemy has a large number of snipers, this method will not only fail to achieve the purpose of motivating morale, but will also undermine morale or even cause the troops to lose command and fall into chaos.

The Japanese apparently did not expect that they were facing such a force, so the confusion of Osaka Osa's main force was repeated again at the airfield......

In the light of flares, the Japanese officers fell one by one, as well as machine gunners, bazooka shooters, and even Japanese soldiers who were about to throw grenades but were knocked down by a single shot, and the igniting grenades exploded in the trenches, causing even greater panic.

This was a kind of preemptive attack, the Japanese army was stunned at that moment, the order to "open fire" issued by Aitanakasa was not carried out, and the Japanese troops on the defensive line were still in a state of "neither fighting nor not fighting......

This is what Zhang Chi wants.

In the next second, the Chinese army followed the rout of the Japanese army and smashed into the Japanese airfield defense line.

Gunshots rang out, and blood splattered.

A hand-to-hand fight that bordered on street fighting soon ensued at the airport......

The reason why it is said here is that although the airport also has some buildings and warehouses, it is an airport after all, and most of the area is still empty.

If this were another unit, it might not be suitable for such street fighting, even if it was an expeditionary force...... Most of the time, the expeditionary force and the U.S. army fought field offensive and defensive battles or landing battles, and there was little contact in battles like this when the enemy was in front of them and the houses had to be cleared.

But this is not the case with the 2nd Independent Battalion, which is a special forces unit that has a street fighting subject when they are formed and trained, and this subject is also important...... Special forces often need to fight behind enemy lines, and sometimes rescue hostages to assassinate enemy leaders, so street combat training is very necessary.

This training comes in handy at this point......

First of all, the follow-up snipers occupy several advantageous high positions with the cooperation of the fighters and solve the fire of the Japanese troops at the high place as soon as possible, and then the snipers overlook and control the entire airfield from the high position, and at the same time use handheld walkie-talkies to communicate the situation to the attacking units that need cover in a timely manner.

The attacking unit then attacks based on the information provided by the sniper......

This kind of attack is like being able to see the enemy's position and firepower, but in fact they can see it, but the sniper sees it and tells them the situation.

As a result, this hand-to-hand combat became a hand-to-hand combat in which the Japanese army could not get close to the Chinese army at all.
