On the same night that Yang Zhen returned to the mountain to command the main force to fight fiercely with the Second Division that crossed the river and went north. He was ordered to destroy the Japanese airfield in Jiamusi, as well as the Japanese planes that bombed Jiangbei with the Jiamusi airfield as the starting point. The two reconnaissance companies led by Li Mingrui, who had already crossed the river for three days, but had been unable to find the fighters because of the increased vigilance of the Japanese army, also launched operations.

After the 2nd Division arrived at the line of General Stone and began to divide the troops. In accordance with Yasui Toji's request, Umezu Mijiro transferred three infantry brigades from the 4th Division to cross the river and go north as a reserve, ready to meet the 2nd Division at any time.

The infantry brigade originally stationed near the airport was also transferred to Jiangbei as the first choice except for one squadron due to the shortage of troops.

Although the Kwantung Army unanimously opposed Umezu Mijiro's decision, even the Fourth Division itself was reluctant to move. However, in Umezu Mijiro's view, the Fourth Division could not fight in the field, and it was still possible to defend it after all. It's not that they want to fight hard, but just to pick up the second division when necessary.

The most critical problem is that, in Umezu Mijiro's view, the possibility of needing the Fourth Division is almost negligible in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Second Division. The Fourth Division's northward march this time was not so much a battle as it was only to attract part of the enemy's attention. And this task should not be a problem in the opinion of Umezu Mijiro.

However, although the order had already come down, the infantry brigade of the Fourth Division was not willing to go north until the day when Yang Zhen counterattacked on the whole front. Li Mingrui, who had been closely monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops and was looking for fighter planes, immediately set about taking action after discovering that the Japanese garrison at the airfield had been transferred.

Although there has been no action a few days ago, Li Mingrui sent people to infiltrate the labor team used by the Japanese army to carry materials and smooth the runway of the airport on a daily basis, and thoroughly understood the structure of the entire airport.

And he himself lurked outside the airport for two days, and had a detailed understanding of the patrol time, number and equipment of the Japanese airport patrol. With detailed first-hand information about the Japanese airfield, Li Mingrui decided to act on the night of the transfer of the Japanese garrison.

Seeing that all the reloads have been completed, the bulky single-shot rifle has now been replaced with a completely unanimous automatic rifle that has been named the Bayi automatic rifle, this kind of automatic rifle designed by the commander himself. In addition, each squad also has a Type 81 general-purpose machine gun, also designed by the commander himself, and a Soviet-made Mosin Nagant rifle.

There are also steel crossbows for silent shooting at close range, whispering pistols, and infantry directional mines to stop pursuers. and a Soviet-made Tokarev pistol each, a fighting dagger made of stainless steel, almost armed to the teeth.

Li Mingrui said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the brothers of our main force are being bombed by these planes all day long. As the sharp knife of the whole army, the most elite in the eyes of the commander, and the only unit personally trained by the commander, can we watch our brothers die in vain under the bombs of the little devils? ”

Li Mingrui's words are very stimulating. In particular, the only unit personally trained by the commander mobilized the already high morale of the entire army to the peak.

Seeing that the morale of the troops was mobilized by himself, Li Mingrui didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Okay, don't talk nonsense." Now let me assign the task. The reconnaissance company was under my personal command and was responsible for clearing the Japanese guard posts on the perimeter of the Japanese airfield, as well as various firing points. After completing the objectives of the first stage, the reconnaissance company was responsible for blowing up Japanese planes, navigation stations, ammunition depots, oil depots and other facilities. ”

"The Second Reconnaissance Company, commanded by Deputy Battalion Commander Huang, was responsible for eliminating the Japanese pilots in the barracks one mile from the Japanese airfield, and with the cooperation of the fire support platoon, blocking possible Japanese reinforcements. All companies should work closely together in small groups according to their daily training. In addition, if you can use a crossbow or dagger to solve the problem without shooting, try not to shoot. ”

"Now the platoon commanders of each squad have come to me to receive a schematic diagram of the structure of the Japanese airfield, and the rest of the personnel have sorted out their equipment and adjusted the weapons in their hands to the best state of use. Set out on time at 11 p.m. and try to finish all the fighting by 4 a.m. ”

Li Mingrui only gave the tasks of the two companies, and as for how to arrange the companies below, then he didn't have to worry about it. After handing out the schematic diagram of the airfield structure that he had drawn by himself, Li Mingrui convened the commanders above the platoon level for a short meeting.

At the short meeting, Li Mingrui only said two sentences: "Brothers, this is the first time since the establishment of our reconnaissance battalion that the main force has been dispatched to carry out a mission, and it is no longer the previous petty fight. In the future, whether our reconnaissance battalion can stand up straight in front of the fraternal troops will depend on this time. You have to show Lao Tzu all your daily training skills. Don't usually blow the cowhide very big, and it will be strained when you arrive on the battlefield. ”

"Can we be worthy of all the weapons and equipment that the commander personally designed for us, except for the pistol, from top to bottom. And the commander has poured so much effort into us, just look at the expression of everyone today. ”

When several platoon cadres heard this, their faces turned red, and although no one said anything, they all nodded solemnly. Seeing that several subordinates understood what they meant, Li Mingrui raised his wrist and said, "Now let's take a look." At ten o'clock sharp, the action began on time. ”

The Japanese soldiers at the airport naturally didn't know that the sword had been aimed at them all the time, and when Li Mingrui arrived at the airport, most of the Japanese soldiers who had been busy all day, except for the sentries and patrols, had already entered their dreams early. These days of high-intensity combat have exhausted the pilots and ground crews at the airport.

After leading the team to approach the airport cautiously, raising the binoculars and carefully observing the internal situation of the airport through the searchlights swept in the airport from time to time, Li Mingrui gently waved his hand back, signaling that the team members who had been following him could act.

Receiving the signal for Li Mingrui to start moving, the scouts behind him rushed towards their respective targets like tigers descending from the mountain. The Japanese soldiers on the airport never dreamed that there were special forces in this world. Several perimeter guard posts, including a twelve-man perimeter patrol, were killed one by one without even making a sound.

Receiving the secret signal that the periphery had been cleared, Li Mingrui waved his hand without the slightest hesitation. Seeing his gesture, a squad of scouts carefully and gently cut the barbed wire fence around the airport with the iron scissors they carried, and quietly crossed the minefield between the two barbed wires, and infiltrated the airport first.

Since Li Mingrui had already cleared a route in the minefield that was enough for the squad to enter and exit during the two days of lurking, the squad as a top soldier did not make any stops in the minefield. As for the mines behind them, naturally someone took over to clear them.

And behind them, a squad that took over from them cleared the mines between two barbed wire fences as quickly as possible. Within fifteen minutes, a five-meter-wide passage for attack and retreat was cleared. After the passage was opened, Li Mingrui was the first person in the second echelon to cross the minefield and enter the airport.

Looking at the dozens of mines that had been cleared, Li Mingrui shook his head, and couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart at the inferior means of the Japanese army's mine-laying. If you change your own troops, the distance between the two barbed wire fences will be at least hundreds of mines, and most of them are definitely not the tricky mines that ordinary engineers can detect.

The infiltration location chosen by Li Mingrui was exactly behind the side of the Japanese army's tarmac. Beyond the two barbed wire fences, there is the Japanese helipad. The Japanese patrol post in the tarmac was cleared by the infiltrated spearhead squad with crossbows and whispering pistols in the first time.

As for the several Japanese machine gunners on the watchtower with searchlights installed on the side of the tarmac, they were also dealt with with daggers by the sharp squad who touched them. These people are specially trained, and they know that from there the knife can make people die painfully, and they can't make any sound.

When Li Mingrui led the main force of the reconnaissance company to rush into the airport, the Japanese troops on the entire tarmac had been completely eliminated. Looking at the nearly 100 Japanese Type 97 and Type 98 light bombers, Type 97 heavy bombers, reconnaissance planes, and transport planes neatly placed on the tarmac, Li Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mingrui put the pistol into his waist, turned around and whispered to the platoon commanders of the company behind him: "According to the plan, the first platoon is responsible for the Japanese aircraft, the second platoon is responsible for the tower and navigation facilities, the third platoon is responsible for the reinforcement of the second platoon and the first platoon and the fire support platoon of the first company are responsible for the ammunition depot, oil depot and oil depot, as well as the barracks of the Japanese garrison squadron. Get started now. ”

Hearing Li Mingrui's order, each platoon immediately moved towards their respective targets according to the predetermined plan without the slightest hesitation. In addition to the weapons and dry rations they carried with them, each person also carried five kilograms of explosives. Although the number of these explosives was not large for each person, when combined and bundled with grenades, it was enough to send all the planes of the Japanese army on the entire airfield into the sky completely.

Although many of them were coming face to face with such high-tech gadgets as airplanes for the first time, that didn't stop them from carrying out their blasting plans. In their daily training, although they did not have actual aircraft, Yang Zhen used wood to build rough models of several types of aircraft used by the Japanese army, and carried out basic training for the reconnaissance battalion.

Yang Zhen once warned them that if they needed to attack the Japanese airfield, then the best way to blow up the plane was to place explosives on the fuel tank and the engine.

Although Yang Zhen didn't know where the fuel tank of the Japanese plane was, this did not prevent him from training his subordinates. Because the fuel tank is not easy to find, but the engine can still be seen at a glance where it is. Aircraft of this era, because of their huge propeller symbol, anyone with a little common sense will know where the engine is.

The long-term rigorous, arduous, and meticulous training has enabled the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion to cooperate closely with each other as if they were a sophisticated machine, and they have an extremely tacit understanding. They worked in small groups of three people, one of whom placed the explosives of the grenades at the location of the engines of the Japanese planes, one of whom strung together the leads of the explosives, and the other who was responsible for guarding.

Despite the extremely large number of Japanese aircraft, this did not hinder the speed of their actions. It was only when the explosives were halfway through the installation that the second company, which was responsible for solving the Japanese pilots, suddenly heard a dense burst of gunfire. Hearing the gunshot, Li Mingrui frowned slightly, knowing that the action must have been exposed.

Hearing the dense gunfire that sounded on the side of the second company, even the ghosts could wake up, and Li Mingrui, who personally led Li Mingrui, who was in charge of solving the second platoon of the Japanese alert squadron, waved his hand down without hesitation. Behind him, the platoon had already set up two 60-millimeter mortars produced by its own arsenal, and the three grenadier fire support platoons that had already been aimed, and drove the 24 60-millimeter mortars and 40 grenades carried into the Japanese barracks through the windows of the Japanese barracks as quickly as possible.

These men have already undergone many hard trainings, and they can shoot 60-millimeter mortar shells into a target with an area of only two square meters within a firing distance of 100 meters during the day. At night, with effective lighting, fifteen shells could be fired into the same target in three minutes at a distance of 100 meters.

Mortar operators are well trained, and the performance of this American-made M260mm mortar, which Yang Zhen's cottage will not come out until a few years later, is also extremely good. Its minimum firing range of 90 meters, excellent firing accuracy, and maximum rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute have strengthened the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion.

However, due to the limitations of raw materials and production capacity, this extremely sophisticated weapon can only be temporarily equipped with reconnaissance battalions, and each company is assigned two guns, which are mixed with grenadiers to form a fire support platoon.

The three Type 81 general-purpose machine guns in the second platoon, which had also been aimed, also sent a dense rain of bullets into the Japanese barracks at the first time. A Japanese garrison squadron, plus more than 300 ground crews, most of the company barracks were blown up and killed in their beds before they could break out of the barracks.

In particular, the Japanese garrison squadron, which had withstood the main firepower as the key target, did not even have time to return the hand, and suffered a devastating blow at the first time. The occasional fish that slipped through the net were also beaten into a sieve by the dense machine-gun fire that came in from the windows and doors.

After the sound of artillery fell, without Li Mingrui's order, the two squads of the second platoon formed an indoor battle formation and rushed into the Japanese barracks respectively. Pistol shots and grenades were used to clear the Japanese soldiers who tried to rely on the barracks as cover to make the last struggling to kill them.

The whole battle ended completely in less than ten minutes from the beginning to the end. With the strength of a reconnaissance platoon and a fire support platoon, Li Mingrui cleanly stewed the garrison squadron and almost all the ground crews at the Japanese airfield.

By the time the battle was over, all the explosives on the planes and the airfield had been planted. Looking at the Japanese plane that had already planted the explosives, Li Mingrui did not hesitate and directly ordered the detonation. The Japanese planes that had been planted with explosives were bombed into the sky one after another like firecrackers that had been ignited.

And when Umezu Mijiro, who was in the ammunition depot and oil storage at the airport, specially coordinated with the Japanese army in Kannai, and the mountain of bombs and gasoline that had been seconded was detonated, the huge explosion could be heard clearly even dozens of miles away. Everyone in Jiamusi felt the ground shake violently like an earthquake.

After only glancing at the huge fireworks he detonated, and without taking care of counting his results, Li Mingrui took his subordinates to take over the second company commanded by Huang Dali, and then disappeared into the vast night. What remained behind them was the wreckage of hundreds of Japanese planes.

In this special operation, which can be called the world's first special operation, Li Mingrui completely annihilated all the Japanese aviation units and their equipment deployed at Jiamusi Airport at an almost negligible cost of seriously injuring two people and slightly injuring five people.

After this battle, until the battle was completely over, not a single Japanese plane appeared in the sky over the entire theater. None of the bombs fell on Yang Zhen's head......
