Chapter 562 End of the battle
"Commander, because we are worried about alerting the Japanese, the scouts we sent out are only observing the Zhengzhou airport from a distance."
Song Yu continued, "According to reconnaissance intelligence, the Japanese strengthened their defenses at the airport this morning. Two more squadrons of troops were stationed around the airport, and they were all equipped with heavy weapons."
Ye Feng said, "It's okay. I have asked the comrades from the city's party organization to deliver the weapons and equipment."
Not long after, Ye Feng led all the guerrilla fighters to a hidden cave and found weapons and equipment.
Twenty-five mortars, four heavy howitzers, and boxes of shells.
Song Yu was puzzled. "Our men have been waiting around, but we haven't heard any movement?"
The implication is, how did the comrades in the city transport the supplies without anyone noticing? And how did they conceal it from everyone?
In fact, these were the cannons and shells that Ye Feng released from the storage space when he came over and took advantage of the convenient intervals.
Ye Feng did not take out the heavy machine guns, light machine guns and grenades from the storage space. The reason was very simple. He did not want the guerrilla fighters to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese, because as long as it was an offensive and defensive battle, there would definitely be casualties.
In this battle, the main attack was to catch the enemy by surprise and to launch a long-range bombardment.
Retreat after firing the shells.
Ye Feng estimated that after all the shells were used up, this Japanese airport would be destroyed by more than 70%.
By then, Japanese planes had exploded one after another, and the entire airport was almost destroyed.
Using minimal casualties to achieve the effect of striking the enemy, this is Ye Feng’s tactic.
Facing the confused expressions of the people around him, Ye Feng lied and said, "The organization has long wanted to destroy the Japanese airport, and this batch of supplies was placed in advance."
Then he gave the order, "Don't just stand there, move the stuff out quickly, march from the northwest, bypass those two small peaks, get within 5000 meters of our airport, and set up the artillery."
At this time, Chen Chao said with embarrassment, "Commander Ye, you also know the situation of our guerrillas. The soldiers are all from poor families and have never been to school. When they fight, they have only simple weapons in their hands. These heavy artillery and mortars, everyone has seen them, but they don't know how to use them!"
Ye Feng said, "Don't worry, I will adjust the shooting distance and angle of each cannon, and the soldiers just need to put the shells into the barrels."
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers began to move the cannons and shells. Along the way, in order to avoid being noticed by the Japanese, Ye Feng walked in the front and eliminated the secret sentries placed by the Japanese on the periphery one by one.
About 4500 meters away from the Japanese airport, Ye Feng ordered to stop. This distance was already within the range of the mortar.
Their terrain was high, and the mortars were fired upwards, which allowed the flying shells to travel a further distance.
After waiting for another half an hour, Ye Feng had adjusted the firing angle of each cannon.
"I heard that the Japanese have a kind of heavy cannon with a longer range and stronger explosive power. It would be great if we had that kind of cannon in our hands." Song Yu said in his dream during the day.
Heavy cannon?
Ye Feng was also envious when he heard this. According to the military information he knew in his previous life, the maximum range of the heavy cannon could reach 18.2 kilometers.
After the outbreak of the full-scale war, the Japanese army also used this type of artillery. Among them, the 89mm heavy cannon named Type 150 was first used in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.
It is said that the shells of this artillery weigh 40 kilograms, and its power is very strong even at long distances.
At that time, most of the fortress areas outside Nanjing were destroyed by the Type 89 150mm heavy cannon at a long distance.
"That's right. When I have the chance in the future, I will go to the Japanese front-line troops and bring back one or two heavy cannons." Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Division Commander, that thing is placed on a tank, and it weighs several tons. We should just be jealous." Song Yu looked into the distance, staring at the Japanese airport in the distance, and said with emotion:
"I don't know when China will be able to truly build its own industrial system, manufacture its own cannons, its own shells, or build its own air force to make up for our fear of firepower output."
Ye Feng said, "This day will come soon."
Chen Chao also said, "We have defeated the Japanese, but I'm afraid the southwestern mountain city will jump out again!"
Ye Feng said, "As our underground party's armed forces grow stronger step by step, we are not afraid of even the elite Japanese Kwantung Army. Will we be afraid of the troops controlled by the warlords in Shancheng?"
"I believe that in about five years, our land will establish a new China where the people are the masters of the country."
"We, the Chinese nation, will stand up in the world, stand tall in the East, and achieve great rejuvenation."
"By then, we will have established our own industrial system and military system. We will have heavy artillery, bomber aircraft, ships and aircraft carriers. I guess by then you will despise the Type 38 rifles in your hands and the Japanese mortars!"
……
Many soldiers around were fascinated by Ye Feng's description of the grand "blueprint" for the future.
"Commander Ye, in about five years, can we defeat the invaders and establish a new Shenzhou country belonging to our people?" a soldier asked excitedly.
Ye Feng said domineeringly, "Since I am here, the progress of this war will naturally end early."
According to the historical process of Ye Feng's previous life, it would take several years to defeat the Japanese invaders.
It would take another four years to defeat the reactionaries in Shancheng.
But Ye Feng, the angry young man, came with a system. As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Naturally, he wanted to end the war early.
Let the 400 million Chinese compatriots live and work in peace and contentment in advance.
"emission!"
With Ye Feng's order, twenty-nine cannons fired at the same time, and shells flew towards the Japanese airport.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
……
In an instant, one side of the Japanese airport was hit by a fierce and covering artillery attack. Balls of fire rushed up, the mountains shook, and thick smoke billowed.
What’s even more terrifying is that after the explosion, a terrible series of explosions occurred in the area, and even more violent flames rushed up, forming a large sea of burning fire.
Countless Japanese air force soldiers died in the horrific sea of fire.
In this first round of attack, Ye Feng aimed at the Japanese oil storage tanks and achieved a precise strike.
Next, the twenty-nine guns continued to exert their power and began to cover and bombard the fighter planes at the airport.
"Song Yu, you will be in charge of the command from now on. I will go to stop the Japanese attacking force."
At this time, the Japanese responsible for guarding the airport reacted, and two squadrons had already charged towards this side.
Because of the distance, the Japanese's makeshift mortars could not reach the positions here.
Can Ye Feng stop two Japanese squadrons?
Next, Chen Chao and his 800 guerrilla fighters saw an incredible scene.
Ye Feng not only blocked the attack, but also single-handedly defeated the two Japanese squadrons and almost wiped out the enemy.
"Is this the terrifying combat power of a super agent?" Chen Chao was full of doubt about his life.
Half an hour later, all the shells were used up.
The Japanese airport in Zhengzhou was also destroyed beyond recognition and turned into ruins.
The guerrilla fighters evacuated first, and Ye Feng, who was behind them, promptly put the cannons back into the storage space.
The news of the victory of this surprise attack that destroyed the Japanese's largest airport in Central China once again inspired the nationwide anti-Japanese enthusiasm.
At this time, Ye Feng, with Song Yu and others, had already crossed the Central Plains and continued to move towards Yan'an.
"Division Commander, are you saying that we should not join up with the comrades who are coming to support us? Should we directly enter Yan'an in secret?"
Zhang Ye, who was in charge of liaison work, said with an exaggerated expression:
"What if we are mistaken for Japanese spies or Yamashiro agents?"
Ye Feng said, "With me here, even if I encounter intelligence personnel from our party organization, do you think they will be my match?"
Zhang Ye, "..."
He really wanted to say, you, the super agent, sneak into Yan'an secretly, and then don't scare the bosses.
