Chapter Ninety-Six: Gunfire at the Airport

"What part are you from?" Gao Quan, who was on the horse, gently pulled the reins, and the jujube red horse took a few steps to the side of the team, and looked at the team on the side of the road and raised his voice and asked.

"Well, we are from the 64th Regiment of the 16th Division." The major in the ranks was a little nervous. Gao Quan rode a tall jujube red horse, surrounded by a large group of officers and guards, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance. The Major didn't know how big an officer he was, but it was true that he was much older than him.

"Sixty-four regiments? Very good! Major, I am Gao Quan, the commander of the 500th Army, and I was ordered by the commander of the theater Gu to take over the defense of Quzhou. In order to facilitate unified command, all the defending troops in Quzhou City must obey the control of their own army commanders. Now, Major, lead your team and follow our troops. After saying this lightly, he turned his horse's head and Gao Quan returned to the team.

"But, General! Commander Gao! I'm leading the brothers to reinforce outside the North Gate, where the position is in critical condition and is in dire need of troop support! The brothers on the battlefield are waiting for me, I can't join your team! "The major is also in a hurry. What is this? I'm going to lead people to the front line to fight, are you good, as reinforcements, don't you come to fight with the Japanese outside the city, and as soon as you enter the city, you will annex friendly forces? Is this the reinforcement sent by the war zone to Quzhou City?

"The position outside the north gate has been taken over by our army, so the major doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Another officer walked out of the team and talked to the major, "Since the 500 Army has taken over Quzhou, the defense inside and outside Quzhou City will all be dispatched by our military seat. If you need support outside the north gate, the military seat will naturally notify the major to go to the front, and the major, as a party-state officer, should understand that soldiers must obey orders, right? I am Cai Feng, the commander of the 1st Independent Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the 500th Army, and the Major and your troops will be temporarily assigned to the battle sequence of the 1st Independent Regiment. Ask the Major to follow the line with your soldiers. ”

"But, Commander Cai, this matter is very important, I want to report to Senior Commander Cao first." The major stalked his neck and argued.

"Major, please return immediately!" Commander Cai's voice became stern, and at the same time, a group of soldiers with grim faces and strong bodies appeared behind him. Looks like this is going to be hard!

The major has no choice, there are many officials, he has to follow, and if he doesn't, he has to follow! His facial expression contorted a few times, and the major finally gave in, saluted reluctantly, and led his troops to stand in the ranks of the independent regiment.

"This Gao Quan, what does he want to do?" Chen Yiding, who received the report from his subordinates, was furious! I want to go out to find Gao Quan to settle accounts, but the current 86th Army is obviously not the opponent of the 500 Army, the army of the people has entered the city, but the troops of his 86th Army are scattered around Quzhou City, and there are not many people in the city, even if Deputy Commander Chen wants to go to Gao Quan's theory, his strength is not enough, and he has no confidence to speak! "Humph! I want to send a report to the war zone, and I want to report to Chief Gu about Gao Quan's evil deeds of taking advantage of the war to attack friendly troops! In the name of resisting Japan, to annex friendly forces, how could the war zone send such a person to Quzhou? Come on, send a report to the Theater Commander's Department! ”

Just when Deputy Commander Chen sent a telegram to Chief Gu, Gao Quan and his troops had already rushed to the south gate. The defenders at the south gate were unsurprisingly also absorbed by Commander Gao, and the guards at the city gate were taken over by troops from the Independent Brigade of the 500th Army. Out of the south gate, the troops led by Gao Quan had lost more than one regiment, and all of them were left to the few defensive positions he passed, and of course, many soldiers from the former 86th Army were added to the ranks.

The reason why it is said to be the former 86th Army is because from the moment these people stood in the column of the 500 Army, they were completely disconnected from the 86th Army, and the 86th Army was completely out of contact with them from this moment. In terms of Gao Quan's always way of dealing with people, he has never spit out the meat in his mouth again, and this time will certainly be no exception.

Out of the south gate, the team rushed directly to Quzhou Airport. The two-kilometer road is a short walk on horseback. Just after leaving the south gate, before he walked to the airport, he heard a gunshot coming from the direction of the airport, Gao Quan's face changed, and he shouted, "Hurry!" As soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he led the cavalry regiment and rushed forward! The troops of the Independent Brigade in the back followed closely and quickly ran in the direction of Quzhou Airport.

The battle for the airfield has already begun. Since Chen Laosi had come to the airfield, he dispersed the scouts he brought with him to all directions leading to the airfield to conduct alert reconnaissance. Gao Quan sent him here first, just to take over this airport, no matter who controls the airport now, in Chen Laosi's eyes, this is already the industry of the 500 army. Of course, you have to take care of your own industry, and no outsiders can touch it, especially devils!

An army of unknown origin came near the airport, and the commander of the garrison of the airport sent someone out to check it, and when he found out that it was reinforcements from the 500th Army to assist in the defense, he ignored it. Anyway, it's their own army, and they can have more people to guard the airport together, and it's too late for this major to be happy, who cares what the real purpose of these people is.

After Chen Laosi arranged the guard post, he arranged several defensive positions outside the airport, anyway, sandbags and other construction materials were available in the airport, and they could be borrowed from the defenders. The defending major enthusiastically helped in this, taking out a number of sacks from the airfield warehouse, filling them with sand, and sending a few soldiers to assist the friendly troops in building their positions.

When the defensive position was about to be completed, the guard post sent out reported that the devil was coming! Without any hesitation, Chen Laosi informed the soldiers of the 86th Army who came to help and asked them to go back and borrow machine guns from the commander of the garrison battalion. The scouts must not be able to carry out the Maxim heavy machine gun with a few people, and the heavy weapons on hand of the scouts are only a few Czech light machine guns. This thing is useful in encounters or sneak attacks, but if you really want to fight a frontal defensive battle, the firepower is a little thin.

The two sides only met for the first time today, they had never seen each other before, and they hadn't even met for half a day, and the major was going to borrow their heavy machine guns! Looking at the expression, it still looks like a matter of course. The soldiers who helped the defenders thought it was incredible, but in view of the fact that the other party was about to engage the Japanese army, these soldiers did not refute the face of Battalion Commander Chen in person, but just promised to go back and report to the commander, and then turned around and left.

The devils came quickly, almost just after the few devils who were helping came up!

From the binoculars, you can see that a team of about 100 devils stretched out their heads and shrunk their heads, sneakily and sneakily to the airport.

"Prepare for battle!" Chen Laosi reminded the scouts loudly as he placed a medium-sized rifle on top of the sandbag.
