Chapter 20 It's a pleasure to work with the Eighth Route Army!
Dawn.
It was dark.
Near Taiyuan Airport, the airport garrison brigade, the camp of the Ito squadron.
"It's a pleasure to work with Eight Roads."
Kotaro Ito was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
He asked Hachiro to kill the newcomer Miyazaki Daisa, and provided Miyazaki Daisa's daily whereabouts, originally without much hope, thinking that even if Hachilu did it, it would have to wait for a long time, and whether it could succeed is another matter.
That's Dazuo, and it's the intelligence department, the security force is very strict, and this is Taiyuan, the main force of the First Army, and the strength of a brigade is stationed here.
But I really didn't expect that the request he made the afternoon before yesterday would be dead at noon the next day.
was shot directly in the head at the east city gate, and the death was crisp and neat.
After Miyazaki's death, as expected, the incident attracted everyone's attention, and the special high branch went all out to investigate the attacker, and the special high branch shozo who was going to join Yamamoto's special team was also transferred, and since then, the incident of his attack on the imperial warehouse has been completely buried.
As for the investigation into his head, this is absolutely impossible.
The imperial army now let alone investigate who did it, and they didn't even see the back of the attacker, if they could find out who was on his head, they wouldn't have been rushed into Taiyuan to rob a ton of gold.
"It's a pleasure to work with someone with such strength and ability."
"However, you also have to be more careful not to have conflicts, and you have to show your ability and role."
In addition to the surprise in his heart, Ito also secretly warned himself.
In this Taiyuan City, a big Zuo can kill if he wants to, and he is a Shaozuo, not like an ant pinched to death casually, not to mention, the other party is still pinching his handle. But he wasn't too worried.
A card, whether to give up or not, depends on whether the card is useful or not, as long as he Ito shows his effect, then the Eighth Route Army will not abandon him casually.
"It's a pity..."
Watching the window gradually light up, Ito sighed in his heart.
Miyazaki is dead, his crisis is over, but the new business is still not improving, he is a squadron leader of the airport garrison, patrolling around the airport every day, no contact with other people, almost no way to get money.
It's even worse than when he was the captain of Shou County.
At that time, it was possible to get some extra money from some merchants.
Irritated, Ito got up from his dormitory and walked out the door.
As the squadron leader and the 'hero' who guarded the airport, he was assigned to a small single room by himself, and with the faint morning light, Ito looked at the airport in the distance, and at this time, the sky was just dawning, and the airport could only see the tower navigation lights on.
Taking a deep breath, the cold winter air calmed Ito a lot, and he began to think seriously about business.
Now that we have a strong partner, is it possible to find a way to do this? You can also take the opportunity to show your abilities.
With an idea, Ito's brain began to turn, and he quickly thought of a feasible solution.
Look for loopholes in the airfield's defense system, and then provide intelligence to the Eighth Route Army so that they can come and bombard Taiyuan Airport again? Do you want to make some extra money from it? This is very simple for him, who is in charge of airport security, any warning measures are loopholes, as long as you look closely, you can always find them.
"That's it."
In addition to being excited, Ito couldn't help but scream.
It's just that as soon as his words fell, his face froze with excitement, and his eyes suddenly widened...
I saw that around the airport in the distance, six explosive fireballs suddenly rose, one of which was the sentry tower near the airport. A violent explosion reached his ears.
"This is an artillery bombardment, looking at the power, it should be 75 mountain guns, but a little bigger than the Empire."
At first glance, Ito figured out the situation.
"It was Li Yunlong who did it, he has a long-range mountain artillery."
Immediately afterward, Ito realized who was making the shot.
The power of the shells in front of him is greater than that of the 75 Mountain Cannon, but it is not as good as the larger caliber artillery, which shows that the shells are filled with higher quality explosives, which only Li Yunlong has.
In the end, Ito's heart overflowed with indescribable joy:
"Here's an opportunity to make money!"
"Working with the Eighth Route Army is simply fantastic."
Without hesitation, Ito quickly called his squadron and repeated the trick, tricking the diehards into rushing into the airport to salvage the Imperial property, while he took the opportunity to slip away and then began to hide supplies with his henchmen.
Don't think that he hasn't done anything in the past month, and although he hasn't had a chance to make money, Ito still prepares a secret warehouse in advance.
Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared... At this moment, Ito deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.
······
"To the left, two secret positions."
On the artillery position, relying on the radio to transmit the observations of the distant artillery observation posts, Iwamori quickly adjusted his aiming.
"To the left, two secret positions."
As the gunner turned the base, the barrel deviated slightly to the left, and twelve seconds later, another round of shells flew towards the airfield in the distance, this time, all six shells fell into the airfield.
"All hits."
The telegraph operator shouted out the results from the front-line observers.
"Shoot at full speed."
Iwamori immediately shouted loudly.
The normal sustained rate of fire of the Bofors mountain artillery is only eight rounds per minute, which is not comparable with the rate of fire of the mortar that lasts for more than ten or twenty rounds, but the mountain artillery also has a way of playing, that is, burst fire.
In this case, 25 shells can be fired per minute, but if it lasts for a long time, the barrel of the cannon will be severely worn, and the firing rate will be reduced afterwards, but with the large number of spare parts, Iwamori will shoot directly at full speed.
Boom Boom Boom ·
Suddenly, the movements of the six artillery crew members suddenly accelerated, and the fireworks in the cannon holes flickered, almost practicing in one piece.
Under the dawn sky, one after another cannonballs crossed the sky, drawing brilliant arcs, like comets, falling at high speed towards the distant airport.
"Boss Chen's cannon is powerful."
While directing the shelling, Iwamori sighed in his heart.
Sophisticated shells, sophisticated cannons, and accurate maps make his bombardments extremely accurate.
······
The shelling continued, and shells crashed into the airfield like meteors.
Planes on the runway were blown up, machinery and equipment used to build the airport were destroyed, makeshift warehouses where supplies were stored, and even bombs and fuel were ignited.
In just five minutes, the airport was in flames.
It was only at this time that the devils near the airport figured out the situation, and the captain of the airport garrison brigade began to command the troops to assemble, spread the alert, rescue supplies, and the Taiyuan garrison also sent a brigade to rush in the direction of the shelling.
Sadachi Yoshimoto, who had just arrived a little more than a month ago, was also escorted by the guards and quickly rushed to the airport.
"To the northeast, about eight to ten kilometers away."
At this moment, the devil's observation tower also found the approximate location of the artillery of the independent regiment, but due to the obstruction of the mountains and forests, it was impossible to accurately judge the distance, and could only estimate the approximate location.
If it were peacetime, it should have been a plane taking off, looking for enemy artillery positions, and, by the way, bombing to disrupt the enemy's artillery operations, but now ...
"Yaga..."
The wing commander in charge of garrisoning Taiyuan was so angry that he ascended to heaven, drew his katana and slashed wildly, lost his temper, and finally could only personally lead his troops to rush to the artillery position.
It's just that the position of the first artillery company was also carefully selected by Wang Gensheng after investigation.
Even if the nearest Devil unit was more than five kilometers away from the position, it would be more than an hour before the Devil troops had completed their assembly, crossed the rugged mountain road, and passed through the preset obstruction minefield.
This is still the result of the devil's desperate efforts.
During this period, a lot of time was wasted because it was not possible to know the specific location of the artillery position.
The shelling of the first artillery company lasted only half an hour, and as a thousand shells fell into the airfield, Iwamori quickly commanded the troops to disassemble the cannons, carry the mules and slip away.
