769, kill another lieutenant general
On October 14, 1937, at about half past eight in the evening, the shelling from the north became more and more intense, drawing almost everyone's attention.
The 3rd Machine Gun Battalion, after paying a huge sacrifice of nearly 100 men, finally saw the dawn of victory. As long as you take down the third floor of the control tower, you can declare that you have control over the entire airport.
The fighters did not know what the third layer meant, but as battalion commanders more or less knew some. Since it's called a control tower, there must be a lot of equipment used to direct the aircraft.
After a little thought, the commander of the third battalion understood a little: "The regiment commander commands himself and often uses the radio. If the radio is blown up at a critical moment, it is terrible. It can be seen from this that inside this control tower is now the equipment for commanding aircraft. ”
If the forcible shelling continues, it is estimated that there will be nothing left in the third floor. Therefore, the commander of the third battalion could only cry out in pain: "Go up to a squad in a row and search the bottom two floors to see if there are any alive." Then find a way to open the passage to the third level and solve the battle as best you can. ”
At this time, the platoon commander of the 1st Special Operations Platoon led more than 100 people into the airport gate towards Chaoyang. As soon as the commander of the third battalion looked at the person's uniform, he knew that it was the officers and soldiers of the newly established aviation division, and the cold sweat on his back suddenly fell.
"What the fuck are you guys doing? Our plane is about to come and land, and you haven't even taken down the control tower, so do you want our plane to land in the sea? ”
Xiang Chaoyang saw that the third battalion was still surrounding the command tower, which meant that it had not been taken down, and he suddenly roared at the commander of the third battalion: "Don't you know what the crime should be for delaying the fighter?" ”
Is there any truth to be said on the battlefield? No! Even if you say that the mission is not completed on time, it will delay the fighter!
The commander of the third battalion didn't know that time passed so quickly, and it was almost an hour in the blink of an eye. He didn't quibble, but grabbed the machine gun beside him and jumped up, and then shouted: "Success or failure is here, rush with me-"
On the first and second floors of the conning tower, there were originally electric lights inside, but it was supposed to be a wild bombardment, and now it is pitch black. The point is to blow up the wooden staircase, which is the biggest trouble.
The commander of the third battalion was anxious, and when he saw that the soldiers were still looking for other items to replace the stairs, he suddenly roared angrily: "There is no time, build a ladder for Lao Tzu!" ”
There were many people and great strength, and several fighters lifted the third battalion commander first, and soon after that, a squad drilled into the second layer. The staircase here is injured, but it is not broken. However, the exit from the third floor above was covered by a wooden plank.
The commander of the third battalion pulled the bolt: "All the machine guns are fired, and the cover of the passage above is lifted off for Lao Tzu!" ”
Da - the third battalion commander had not yet fired, but the enemy on the third floor was the first to shoot, and the sound was still crooked. The bullet went through the plank, and two fighters were shot in the head and died on the spot!
The machine gun in his hand opened fire, and the commander of the third battalion shouted at the same time: "Spread out, find cover!" ”
As soon as the machine guns on both sides fired indiscriminately, the cover plate on the top was instantly shattered, and the exit of the passage was exposed, but it looked like a monster that wanted to eat people!
The commander of the third battalion jumped up and rushed to the stairs, only to be caught by the two fighters behind him. The two fighters threw away their machine guns, slung their assault rifles to their chests, and lunged upward.
Da Da Da - the crooked handle machine gun on the top of the third floor dodged to the side, slashed downward, and the first soldier fell down the stairs one by one. As if they didn't see it, the warriors behind rushed upwards one after another.
Because the fighters all know that the bucket of the crooked sub-machine gun is only 30 rounds, and it will definitely be too late to change the bucket. Now it's a matter of using people and consuming the bullets of the little devils!
After the fifth warrior fell down the stairs, the sixth warrior finally jumped up, and then the seventh and eighth warriors entered the third floor. The gunfire above stopped, but then there was a fierce fight.
When the commander of the third battalion entered the third floor, 23 fighters had already gone up in front.
The hard battle is finally over.
None of the 23 fighters who went up fired a shot to protect the equipment on the third floor, and in the end 12 of them died with the enemy.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, Xiang Chaoyang had already rushed down, and then more than a dozen fighters of the aviation division came up, and they were also carrying radios and walkie-talkies.
"Hurry up and throw the corpses of the little devils outside and carry the bodies of the warriors down!" Xiang Chaoyang shouted in a deep voice: "Fuck, how can there be a living one here?" Hurry up and kill Lao Tzu and throw the corpse out! ”
"Platoon Commander Xiang, this is a lieutenant general, and it is likely that he is the commander here, so I didn't kill him." The third battalion commander's face twitched: "Is it-"
"It's a fart! Don't you know the boss's personality? Xiang Chaoyang waved his right hand and directly interrupted the words of the third battalion commander: "The boss has repeatedly emphasized that he is a peace-loving person and a person who acts according to the law, and he will never kill people lightly, and he must not kill prisoners indiscriminately." But the boss doesn't want the little devil to live, you know? ”
"So as our subordinates, we must know how to share the worries of the boss. What do you do now to get a live in front of the boss, let him do it? Isn't this a problem for the boss? Don't talk about lieutenant generals, you even killed generals in Hebei, do you care about this? Except for the emperor of the little devils, the boss may want to take a look, and the others will be killed! ”
Special forces are really special, and the platoon commander of the special operations platoon is even more special. Xiang Chaoyang is indeed the roundworm in Bai Shujie's stomach, and he explains it one by one.
Now Xiang Chaoyang's mouth is open, and he is talking about the slaughter of prisoners of war in such a high-sounding manner, probably only the bastard soldiers under Bai Shujie can do it!
Just like that, the little devil's aviation hero, Commander Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, was directly twisted off his neck. The commander of the third battalion cut off his head and wrapped it in Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's military uniform before asking the soldiers to throw the headless corpse down.
"Isn't that right?" Xiang Chaoyang nodded straight at the side: "Look, now that you have been killed because of the enemy's stubborn resistance, you are just leaving a piece of evidence." The credit is there, and the troubles are not there, what a good thing. That's it, you hurry down and guard the perimeter, our plane has arrived. ”
Liu Kuizhong, the commander of the machine gun regiment, led the guard company to the airport, only to learn that his three battalions had lost more than half. Especially the middle and upper-level officers of the first battalion, there was only one deputy platoon commander Guo Quanzhong left, and Liu Kuizhong, a seven-foot man, cried loudly on the spot!
The battalion commander of the 1st battalion, that is, the "third-in-command" of the machine-gun regiment. When the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander are not there, the first battalion commander is the supreme commander!
Sacrificing a battalion commander is equivalent to sacrificing a deputy regiment commander, as the regiment commander, Liu Kuizhong, how can he not hurt into the bone marrow!
"Commander-in-Chief: Xiaolingzi Airport was taken on time, 40 planes and runways were intact. 76 enemy pilots, 391 ground crews, more than 1,200 guard brigades, and more than 800 garrison brigades were completely annihilated, and the enemy's supreme commander, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, was killed. At present, the aviation division has entered the airport, and all the equipment and materials are being cleared. Flying Dragon Fourth Division Machine Gun Regiment, Liu Kuizhong. ”
After sending out the telegram on the situation of the battle, Liu Kuizhong had his guards take charge of the airport guards, and the three battalions participating in the battle began to collect the bodies of the warriors and bury them immediately. Because there are still bigger combat missions to be completed in the future, it is impossible to have a special time for any ceremonies.
Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the body of the horse leather. That's what I'm talking about.
Coupled with the fourth battalion of the encirclement and suppression of the outer garrison brigade, the machine gun regiment killed 937 people on the spot in this battle, and there was a gap of one battalion after another!
After such a huge sacrifice, that is, after the 2nd Machine Gun Battalion broke through the minefield and destroyed a squadron, in the process of annihilating the little devil pilots, it encountered two more squads of guard troops. After two fierce battles in a row, the 2nd Machine Gun Battalion also lost more than half.
The surviving fighters of the 1st Machine Gun Battalion, under the command of Acting Battalion Commander Guo Quanzhong, implemented the method of "covering all the combat missions to the household" to protect the aircraft, but the battle was not very fierce.
It turns out that the little devil regards heavy weapons and equipment as more important than his own life. Heavy artillery, tanks, planes, warships, these are the lifeblood of little devils.
Because they were worried about causing damage to the aircraft, the two squads that attacked the 1st Machine Gun Battalion did not dare to use the Type 92 heavy machine gun!
In this way, it is impossible for the weapons of the little devils to pose a threat to the defending warriors! The Type 38 rifle and the crooked machine gun could not even reach the effective range in the face of the DW assault rifle and light machine gun.
Even so, the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion, which lost more than 100 people, became a combat unit with relatively few losses.
However, Liu Kuizhong did not report his losses, nor did he send a telegram to his division commander Wei Chong. Because the battle continues, there is no need to pass on your own pain to others.
Liu Kuizhong's worries were right, because Wei Chong, as the commander of the front line in Yingkou and Dalian this time, faced great difficulties. Even if Liu Kuizhong had a telegram over, he didn't have time to read it.
Bai Shujie gave the battle order, and the rest was the responsibility of the field commander. Wei Chong's combat missions were:
"Order: Wei Chong will lead the cavalry regiment of the Feilong Fourth Division and the troops directly under the division headquarters, and unify the command of the special combat team and Zhang Yushu's independent regiment in Dalian, and sweep all Japanese puppet military police, maintenance associations, Japanese hospitals, banks, and shops in Yingkou, Dashiqiao, Wafangdian, Jinzhou, and Lushun, and control the safety of the wharf."
In other words, Wei Chong will independently complete two of the four key targets this time: Yingkou and Dalian!
The troops that Wei Chong could use were: a cavalry regiment, 3,226 men; The troops directly under the division headquarters are 1,130 people in the guard battalion (Hua Ruyue and Mo Fengjiao's female battalion) and 1,130 people in the reconnaissance battalion.
As for Zhang Yushu's independent regiment, they were able to take Jinzhou Bay, Dalian Wharf and Lushun Wharf, and then take all the enemy's ships, and they were already burning high incense.
Therefore, Wei Chong undertook the arduous task of implementing the "three-light policy" in Yingkou and Dalian this time:
The first task is to exterminate all the little devils, traitors, reactionary puppet government personnel, and reactionary puppet military police;
The second task is to thoroughly sweep away the military, administrative, economic, medical and health institutions, media and propaganda institutions, educational printing systems, radio and telegraph systems, and so on.
The third task is to completely destroy all kinds of military facilities, logistics support facilities, port service facilities, railway transportation facilities, and so on, and blow them all up and burn them all!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
