Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 630: Japanese Armored Vehicle

The Japanese soldier who was locked in the house was about to use his rifle to break down the wooden door, but he found that a dark green iron box placed beside the door seemed to flash a strange light.

"boom!"

Bombs exploded one after another in the barracks. The more than 20 barracks lined up in a row exploded one after another like firecrackers.

The Japanese soldiers were howling and screaming, and there were casualties everywhere.

Those Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed in the explosion stumbled out of the barracks, but they were knocked down by a volley of bullets before they could take just two steps.

The three special operations teams took care of the two understrength squadrons, and they had the upper hand, so the battle was resolved in ten minutes without any suspense.

"Clear the battlefield, don't leave any dangerous factors behind! Then immediately build fortifications based on the enemy's barracks!"

The runway of Xilinhot Airport runs east-west.

To the east is Abe Taiji's headquarters, to the west is the Japanese camp, and the Japanese control tower is in the middle.

Therefore, as long as we can defend these three places, we can ensure that the airport is in our hands.

The eighth and ninth teams rushed back from the warehouse and immediately rushed to the tower to strengthen the tower's defense.

"Attention, all teams! The independent column's aviation unit has already set off and is expected to land at Xilinhot Airport in an hour. Make sure you secure the airport before then!"

"Yes!"

Although the Japanese soldiers in the barracks were completely wiped out, those standing guard outside still rushed towards the three buildings in a large number.

There are also puppet troops outside the barbed wire who can also go to the airport through the south gate.

"Order the Tenth Squad to use the Japanese infantry artillery to fire at the South Gate and organize puppet troops to reinforce! All squads, be careful, there are enemies on all sides!"

There was a crackling sound like blasting beans on each position. The snipers of the Liangshan Special Forces first attacked the Japanese mortars and grenade launchers to ensure the safety of the runway and various buildings, and then fired at their ordinary infantry.

At this time, the sound of Japanese cars appeared on the north side of Xilinhot Airport.

"Captain, it seems that the Japanese in Xilinhot city have come to reinforce! They didn't go to the east or the south, but came directly from the north. It seems that they are preparing to attack the tower directly!"

"Humph, attack the tower? Let's see if they have the ability to do so! Order the soldiers on the east and west wings to hold on. We will do our best to welcome the Japanese reinforcements!"

Among the Japanese reinforcements, there appeared a short old man wearing only a white shirt.

"Captain Abe, you are frightened!"

"Baga, these idiots didn't even notice that the independent column's plane had landed at our airport! Baga!"

When old Abe said this, he must have forgotten what he had instructed his subordinates. If it was Lieutenant Yamazaki who reported, he must have repeatedly screened it before reporting it.

His men did perform their duties conscientiously and humiliated Lieutenant Yamazaki, but they forgot about the identification and were led to hell.

Abe Taiji looked at the two armored vehicles behind him, as well as two squadrons of Japanese devils and more than a hundred puppet police, and was full of confidence.

According to his estimation, the vanguard of the independent column consisted of no more than a hundred people.

Although he knew that the two squadrons in the airport were in danger, even so, he now had at least 400 imperial troops, a battalion of puppet troops, and more than 100 policemen.

The most important thing is that the vanguard of this independent column does not have strong artillery support, and there will not be strong artillery support.

After all, Abe has already figured out the intention of the Independent Column, which is to seize the airport, and to seize the airport intact!

"I have the advantage! Kill them!"

The two armored vehicles directly crashed through the barbed wire and crushed out two passages.

These two armored vehicles are Type 87 armored vehicles, which are copied from the British Vickers M25 armored vehicle.

Because the Japanese had previously purchased more than 10 original Vickers M25 armored vehicles, and then copied and improved them and renamed them Type 87 armored vehicles.

The frontal armor protection of the Type 87 armored vehicle is 11 mm, the turret armor thickness is 8 mm, and two 7.7 mm water-cooled heavy machine guns are installed inside the turret, but the turret cannot rotate. There are two machine gun holes at 90 degrees front and rear, and the internal machine guns can be moved to the corresponding shooting ports.

There is a hatch on the top of the turret, which looks like a sphere. When opened, it is like cutting a watermelon in half. The people inside can lean out of it. There are also two observation holes on both sides of the turret, through which the enemy situation around can be known.

The Japanese Type 87 armored vehicle is more like a car covered with iron sheets than an armored vehicle. It runs very fast, reaching a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

However, the old devil Abe Taiji took advantage of the fact that the Liangshan Special Forces seemed to have no heavy firepower, so he dared to rush in.

In fact, the independent column did not carry any infantry artillery.

The only two infantry guns captured from the Japanese were used to block the puppet troops who were attacking the South Gate, so they could only rely on themselves to deal with the Japanese appearing in the north.

Fortunately, the Liangshan Special Forces were well prepared and brought four 81mm mortars, which could be used to bombard the Japanese who broke into the barbed wire.

While the four mortars were facing the barbed wire that the Japanese had crushed, the Japanese mortars could also test-fire at the tower.

"First, bomb the Japanese mortars to ensure the safety of the control tower and runway!"

"Yes!"

So, under Duan Peng's command, the two sides launched an evenly matched artillery battle.

The armored vehicles protected two squadrons of Japanese soldiers and more than one hundred puppet police as they gradually approached the tower and entered within a range of two hundred meters.

"Warriors of the Empire, this group of enemies has no heavy weapons. They can't do anything to our armored vehicles. Follow the armored vehicles, rush up, and take back the tower! Kill them!"

The Japanese soldiers rushed forward following the armored vehicles as if they were given an injection of chicken blood.

The two machine guns on the armored vehicle also began to spit out flames, causing the tower to fly sparks and make banging sounds.

Duan Peng looked at the mortars that were chasing the Japanese artillery and firing everywhere, and had no time to pay attention to them. He snorted coldly:

"The Japanese guessed correctly. We do not have heavy firepower, but we have plenty of rockets and anti-material sniper rifles! Sniper team, fire!"

The sniper immediately adjusted the direction and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the Japanese armored vehicle.

At a distance of two hundred meters, a sniper can hit such a large target even with his eyes closed!

The sniper raised his lips, locked the cross on the observation port of the Japanese armored vehicle, and pulled the trigger.

A large-caliber bullet spurted out and hit the edge of the observation port directly, creating a huge gap. Then the bullet went straight ahead and shattered the Japanese soldier's skull.

The armored vehicles often turned sideways and came to a standstill.
