Chapter 1022 Landing Overnight
At 8:30 in the evening, taking advantage of the moonlight, the Japanese army also began their attack. The sound of various artillery shells exploding on the battlefield almost deafened everyone's ears. It can be seen from this that this time the Japanese attack was more costly than the last time.
Pujiang Airport.
"Hurry, hurry, all the cars line up on both sides of the runway, turn on your headlights and light the way for the plane."
Because of the 35th Army's incident, Li Shaoyi ordered the island city to transport people over overnight. For the pilots, taking off was no problem, but because of the lack of ground reference objects, they could only use the car's headlights to illuminate their landing path.
The first Junkers transport plane has appeared in the distant sky. Seeing the runway that has been lit up on the ground, the pilots skillfully begin to lower their altitude. Although the visibility is not as good as during the day, all the transport pilots tonight are veterans in the army.
They knew how to get their brothers to the battlefield safely. Although it was a bit dangerous, there was no time for them to land safely on the front line, so sometimes they had to take risks.
When the first plane braked smoothly, everyone present jumped for joy. Although it was a bit risky, the 35th Army could not wait any longer. The battle tonight made Commander He feel the danger.
The surrounding armies were also unable to withdraw troops, and the Japanese also launched feint attacks around Pujiang, causing our troops to be caught up in battle. Without a clear understanding of the enemy situation, we were unable to mobilize the troops at will.
"Stop yelling here. We don't have time for you to celebrate. The cars are on the left side of the airport. Hurry and get in. If you're not driving an armored unit, just get in. Your weapons and equipment are on them. Those driving tanks and armored vehicles, follow me. They're on the right side of the airport."
As plane after plane landed, thunderous cheers erupted at the airport, but soon special personnel arrived. We transported you from the island city late at night not to let you celebrate here. We don't have a minute to spare.
After listening to the brothers at the airport, all the troops quickly returned to their units. Under the leadership of the squad leader, they quickly boarded the truck next to them. They all came lightly and carried nothing but the pistols on their bodies. Each vehicle was fully equipped with the equipment of the infantry squad. After getting on the vehicle, they began to look for their own equipment and quickly armed themselves. They might encounter the Japanese on the way.
"Let me be frank with you. Although our 108th Regiment was newly formed, I, your squad leader, am a veteran with seven months' service. I've even fought against the Russians in the north. Let me tell you, if anyone is a coward serving under me, take off this uniform and jump off the vehicle now. I won't say a word, but you'll have diarrhea on the battlefield. I know you as my brothers, but I don't know my gun."
Cui Guoqiang, squad leader of the fourth squad, sixth platoon, second company, third battalion, 108th regiment, said loudly.
It took this guy only seven months to go from an ordinary soldier to an infantry squad leader, which was considered an average promotion speed in the 72nd Army. Of course, it was also related to his bad luck. When fighting with the Russians in the north, his infantry company got lost.
Later, he got out under the guidance of Jiji. If he had not lost his way, and had some military merits, he would have been at least a platoon leader or deputy company commander by now. So after arriving in Pujiang, he had to make it clear to his brothers first. Those who were afraid of death should get out of here as soon as possible and don't delay my promotion.
"Don't worry, squad leader. The brothers know what you're thinking. Those who served with you at the same time should be deputy platoon leaders by now. We all peed standing up. Didn't we come to Pujiang to fight the Japanese? If you become a platoon leader, one of you brothers will have to be a squad leader. If you become a company commander, everyone will be a squad leader."
Hearing his men replying to him while pulling the bolt of their rifles, this guy's face lit up with joy. When they were in the training ground, these brothers under him were very competitive. Although they were all troublemakers, their training results were top-notch in the entire company.
"Well said! Fuck you..."
Cui Guoqiang was just about to offer some words of encouragement when the car's accelerator stepped on the floor, almost shaking him out. It turned out that the airport gate had been opened. Those who were carrying out transportation tasks at the airport had learned one thing in the past few days: they had to be fast.
No matter whether you are transporting people or supplies, they are in short supply on each position. If they are not transported quickly at this time, some of our brothers may never be able to stand up. So there is no need for orders from the superiors. As long as these guys see the departure sign in the distance, they will immediately step on the accelerator to the bottom.
Just now when we were on the plane, none of the brothers felt airsick, but when they got on the car, it was shaking so much that some people felt uncomfortable in their stomachs. This car drove even faster than a plane.
"Airport alert."
As the brothers in the car were milling around, the brother who was driving opened the small window.
Cui Guoqiang quickly called another soldier to pick up the general-purpose machine gun with an ammunition chain and put it on the top of the truck. The other soldiers also took their guns and opened the shooting holes next to the truck.
"There's a section of the road that's been occupied by the Japanese. I'll charge right over there. We can't lose any of our nine vehicles. If you see any Japanese, attack them as hard as you can."
The voice of the transport squad leader came over, and the soldiers in each vehicle heard it. They had already loaded the bullets, and now they had to fight the Japanese in close combat, and we brothers were not afraid.
The back of the truck is modified with iron sheets, so ordinary rifle bullets cannot penetrate unless the enemy's heavy machine gun fires continuously.
The machine gunner and assistant gunner were ready at the front of the vehicle, while the squad leader and deputy squad leader were ready at the rear door with two submachine guns.
Two soldiers stood with iron fists in the center of the car. The openings on top could be opened. If someone attacked later, the two soldiers could step on the iron steps to go up.
He was still covered in grenades. He would analyze the situation outside later. He would use grenades against those nearby and use his fists to deal with those far away.
Don't underestimate this truck, it is almost armed to the teeth.
There are special buckles on the roof of the truck that can lock the general-purpose machine gun to prevent the recoil from being too strong, causing the soldiers to retreat continuously and affecting our shooting speed.
"Demons spotted in front of the left..."
