385 people! A machine-gun battalion of 746 people, after a short battle, there were 385 people left, of which 117 were lightly wounded. That is, 361 people were sacrificed.

This kind of battle loss ratio, this kind of battle loss speed, has never appeared in the military history of the Rehe Front!

Guo Quanzhong, the acting battalion commander, finally had the opportunity to bandage his right ear when the soldiers were counting the numbers. Fortunately, it was just the soft flesh of the earlobe that was bitten off by the enemy, and it did not affect the hearing.

"Brothers, the battalion commander, they completed their mission ahead of schedule, and more than three hundred brothers completed their mission ahead of schedule. But as a combat mission of our 1st machine-gun battalion, it is only now begining! ”

The artillery in the north is getting more and more violent, and the other two places in the airfield are still firing fiercely, and the voice is so low that it is impossible to hear it at all, Guo Quanzhong almost shouted: "I order, immediately divide into 60 teams, each group of 6 people." Hurry up and find the intact weapon in the hands of the brothers on the ground! ”

It is also said that in the five minutes of hand-to-hand combat just now, many assault rifles and light machine guns have been smashed. The weapons in the hands of the living people have basically been scrapped.

Three minutes later, the soldiers finally unearthed a batch of usable weapons from the more than 600 corpses entangled between the enemy and the enemy.

The Wyvern Expeditionary Force's assault rifles and light machine guns are, after all, improved versions of the AK47/AKM series. Although a lot of them were broken, most of the parts between the assault rifle and the light machine gun could be used in common, except for the barrel, so the fighters quickly assembled a complete weapon for themselves.

Magazines and drums for assault rifles and light machine guns have all been collected. Spare magazines for 746 people, now used by 385 people. In other words, in the next battle, there is no longer the problem of zài pressing bullets.

Guo Quanzhong, carrying an assault rifle on his back and a light machine gun, shouted as he walked out: "Now I order, each team protects one plane." The remaining 20 teams, all using light machine guns, followed me 300 meters outside the hangar, and immediately formed a circular blocking front! Now everyone is responsible, act fast! ”

Not to mention that the surviving soldiers didn't understand it in their hearts, in fact, Guo Quan's center didn't understand either, why was the little devil squadron just now so strong in combat?

Whether it is the Rehe Front Army or the current Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force, these warriors are carefully selected, and they are first-class warriors wherever they are placed.

However, in addition to the dozens of people who were killed by mines at the beginning, more than 270 little devils in a squadron actually caused more than 1:1 losses to their own side in the case of fighting more with less!

All the surviving fighters, on the one hand, nervously set up bunkers, and had a question in their hearts: what kind of troops are these little devils?

The soldiers' question is right, the origin of this unit is "very noble"!

The unit that fought with them just now was the newly formed "North China Aviation Regiment" in the base camp of the little devils, and the Guards of the commander Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, that is, the flag protection brigade of the "North China Aviation Regiment".

It's this Tokukawa who is so sensitive, but he has a lot of background.

Friends with a certain knowledge of aviation know that he is the first miscellaneous piece to fly a plane to the sky in the pile of little devils, a "milestone in the air" for the little devils, and a big hero of the whole nation of the little devils.

He was the eldest son of Count Tokugawa Atsumori, the head of the Shimizu Tokugawa family, and a lieutenant general. On the morning of December 19, 1910, he became the first pilot in China to fly an airplane into the sky.

In 1928 (Showa 3), he was awarded the title of baron for his outstanding contribution to the field of army aviation. Since then, he has served as the director of the Akeno Army Flight School and the director of the Tokorozawa Army Flight School.

In August 1935, he was promoted to commander of the Air Corps, mainly to threaten the security of the airspace in North and East China and assist the Army in stabilizing the situation.

This time, according to the predetermined plan of the General Staff Headquarters, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi should appear in the Shanghai Theater and mainly undertake the combat mission of bombing the urban areas of Shanghai and Nanjing.

However, the sudden annihilation of the Sixth Division and the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters shattered the dreams of the little devils, and all the original "perfect plans" became the laughing stock of history.

In order to revive the prestige of the Imperial Army, the Little Devil Staff Headquarters made up its mind to send out the "Air Overlord" and set up this "North China Aviation Regiment", which is equipped with the latest fighters of the Empire.

Tokugawa Yoshitoshi is the idol of all the little devils and the object of their worship. Therefore, as soon as the news came out that Tokugawa Haomin was going to form a flag protection brigade, the master disciples of the major kendo dojos flocked to it, and thousands of people gathered at once.

There was no way, and in the end, after a big competition, 1,480 people were absorbed. After another rigorous training, there is today's personal guard unit.

Subordinate: five reinforced squadrons of 270 people, one reinforced machine gun squad of 130 people. In terms of equipment, the main body is a doubled number of crooked light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, as well as a small number of German MP34 submachine guns with "copycats", and the medium and short-range firepower is fierce enough.

Because of this, although the 1st Machine Gun Battalion suffered heavy losses, the real face-to-face battle losses were 1:1, and a reinforced squadron of 270 men was completely annihilated. So the warriors of the 1st Machine Gun Battalion do not lose the title of Iron Army!

The 1st and 2nd Machine Gun Battalions, which entered the airfield from the northwest and southeast corners, encountered great trouble and suffered great sacrifices. But the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion, which launched an attack from the main entrance to the east, also encountered great resistance and was now in great difficulty.

It turned out that it was not difficult for a company of the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion to rush through the airport gate, but after 300 meters of entering the gate, more than 200 meters on the left side was a flight control tower.

Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi is conscientious and meticulous. Therefore, the headquarters of the "North China Aviation Regiment" was not placed in Jinzhou City, but directly in the airfield.

Because it was only eight o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi had been studying flight data on the control tower, and at the same time planning how to attack the Shina army in North China next.

When a little devil does something, the first thing to consider is "comprehensive efficiency", and resources cannot be wasted casually.

According to this principle, in addition to directing the take-off and landing of aircraft, the flight control tower at the airfield even has the function of a permanent fortification, and a reinforced squadron of Tokugawa Yoshitoshi is located in the first and second floors of this control tower, and it is in a state of first-class combat readiness for 24 hours.

A company of the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion quickly took out a machine gun position at the gate of the airfield.

As a result, the moment he rushed into the airport, he was hit by heavy machine gun fire on the left, that is, in the south, and he was killed by more than ten people!

Unfortunately, the officers and men of the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion, who were the attacking troops, did not know who was inside the tower. But the little devils know very well in their hearts that their "Your Excellency the Lieutenant General Commander" is now working in the command tower!

Therefore, as soon as the battle began, a reinforced squadron rushed out from the right flank of the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion, that is, from the north, forming a north-south flank attack on the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion.

One reinforced squadron of the little devil is 270 people, and two squadrons are 540 people. Four companies of the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion with a total strength of 746 people.

The number of little devils is slightly smaller, but this is their territory, the environment is familiar, and there are permanent fortifications to rely on to the south.

On the contrary, the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion was unfamiliar with the people, and it was attacking at night, and the numerical advantage was simply useless.

The time and place are favorable, these two are on the side of the little devil. So as soon as the battle began, the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion was forced to fight on both sides and fell into a huge passivity.

Seeing his fighters dying in front of him one after another, the commander of the third battalion lay on the ground and shouted: "Hurry up and hang up the grenade launcher and fire a biological grenade!" The third and fourth companies suppressed the enemy in the open area in the north, and the first and second companies took the conning tower to occupy the commanding heights, otherwise they would be more passive! ”

As dozens of grenades flew out, a squadron reinforced from the north suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers of the third and fourth companies did not hesitate at all, and immediately charged and launched a pursuit of this squadron.

In the process, the new equipment of the two companies finally gave full play to their absolute superiority, and a reinforced squadron of 270 people, which resisted for less than ten minutes, was annihilated on the empty airport runway.

However, the 1st and 2nd companies that attacked the conning tower were in trouble again!

It turned out that during the fight, fighters often got injured and then landed with thick smoke. In addition to suffocating due to lack of oxygen, fires caused by fuel can also be toxic in the smoke. In order to extinguish the fire on the plane as much as possible, there are gas masks inside the airport!

The 3rd Machine Gun Battalion has always been an invincible "biological grenade" and "biological grenade", and today it finally met its opponent!

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies saw that pink smoke had begun to rise from the inside of the pillbox, so they thought that the enemy had lost their combat effectiveness, and naturally launched an attack immediately.

Unexpectedly, less than ten seconds after the charge was launched, the Type 92 heavy machine gun in the pillbox roared again, and the assault squad at the front suddenly lost most of it, and the soldiers behind were once again pressed to the ground and could not move!

As time passed, the casualties became more and more severe, and the third battalion commander couldn't stand it anymore, so he roared angrily: "Recoilless cannon, hit Lao Tzu the first and second layers!" All the consequences Lao Tzu bears alone, open fire! ”

More than ten seconds later, the first recoilless gun fired a grenade that directly blasted open the door to the first floor of the conning tower.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - three grenades followed, flying in through the blasted gate. After a violent explosion that shook the mountains, the severed arm flew out of the gate.

The DW82L recoilless gun did not disappoint, and it was the best at striking pillboxes in close combat. However, the good explosion effect, which cheered the fighters, did not make the commander of the third battalion happy.

His face was still pale, and at the same time he roared again: "Aim at the second layer of shooting holes, fire!" ”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh – whoosh, whoosh, whoosh – 6 DW82L recoilless guns, divided into three groups of three holes for striking the front.

In the first round, three grenades hit the three holes accurately, blowing them into a large hole. The three grenades in the second round went straight into the big hole.

Then there was an earth-shattering explosion, followed by smoke coming out of the shooting hole! The first and second floors of this conning tower in front of me have actually been breached.

Now, all that's left is an empty and only a few columns, and a third layer with no protective walls!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
