Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

After a night of marching, they arrived at their destination at 11 a.m. the next day. Kong Hao first asked everyone to find a place to rest, while he took two team members to scout the airport.

This is a small Japanese front-line airport built outside the city. Usually, a flying squadron of about a dozen planes are parked here to provide nearby support to the battlefield. At the same time, there is a squadron of soldiers guarding it. There is also a Japanese military camp nearby, with almost a battalion of troops ready to provide support at any time.

This place is deep in the enemy's hinterland. Ordinary guerrillas will not approach this area, and it is even more impossible for China's regular army to break through numerous checkpoints and come here. After a long period of peace, and with their own troops everywhere around, their vigilance is inevitably relaxed.

Kong Hao and his men hid on a hillside near the airport, using binoculars to observe the entire situation at the airport, mainly marking the positions of the runway, oil depots, and ammunition depots.

The Japanese airport is relatively closed, and even well-trained special forces find it difficult to sneak in. The risk of trying to sneak in is too high, so there is no need for them to take the risk.

In this operation, Kong Hao specially brought out three Type 97 mortars from the Japanese arsenal, plus 300 artillery shells, intending to take advantage of dark, when all the Japanese planes returned to the airport, to directly give them a devastating blow.

In addition to confirming the location of the aircraft base, the purpose of this reconnaissance was also to select the artillery position.

The Type 90 mortar of the Japanese army has a caliber of 2850 mm and a range of meters. A skilled gunner can fire shells per minute, and a hundred shells can be fired in just a few minutes. After they finish firing, they leave. Relying on the physical strength that the special forces have trained over a long period of time, no one can catch up with them.

In the afternoon, Yoshio Shinozuka finally realized that it was impossible to take back the supplies in You County intact. In this case, he decided to send planes to bomb You County tomorrow, at least to prevent these supplies from falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

It was this morning that he learned from the intelligence department that the reason why You County was lost was due to the joint action of the two ace regiments, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army 358th Regiment, which opened the city gate with the cooperation of a puppet army in the city, which led to the fall of You County.

However, it would be better to wait until tomorrow to give the two regiments an illusion. After the troops transferred from the front line arrive, they can find a way to encircle Youxian County.

If these two ace troops were really eliminated, it would be an explanation to the higher-ups, especially Li Yunlong, who was an ace of the 386th Brigade. After eliminating them, it would be a relief.

According to the current time calculation, in three days at most, the troops of the two brigades will be able to arrive in You County, and then all the nightmares will be over.

By 8 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese airport was still brightly lit. A large number of ground crew members were preparing ammunition for bombing Youxian County tomorrow overnight. They would be able to set off early tomorrow morning and catch the enemy off guard while the people there were not paying attention.

This is also the consistent behavior of the Japanese. The first thing they think of when doing anything is a sneak attack, even if their air force has an absolute advantage.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Kameda, the airport director of the Japanese, was gathering all the pilots for a lecture and also arranging the combat plan for tomorrow:

"Everyone, get up at five tomorrow morning and make all the flight preparations by six. Once the conditions for takeoff are met, take off immediately and take advantage of the opponent's lack of reaction to achieve success in one fell swoop."

In Europe and the United States, pilots are the chosen ones and receive the best treatment. If they are asked to get up at five o'clock, the officer who gave the order will be very angry.

But it is different for the Japanese. Their pilots are consumables. Although they are treated preferentially at normal times, if anyone disobeys orders at this time, the best outcome is seppuku.

The captain of the Japanese flying squadron also patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be absolutely no problems with their pilots. If anyone did not want to get up, he would whip the lazy person.

Lieutenant Colonel Kameda was very satisfied. What he was thinking about now was how to successfully complete Commander Shinozuka's order and find a way to be transferred to another unit after making merit.

Guarding the airport, there is no village or shop nearby. According to regulations, no one is allowed to go out casually, and strangers are not allowed to come in. They can only rely on the pitiful military pay, and their families in the country can hardly survive.

Just as they were about to end the meeting and return to the dormitory to rest, Kong Hao had already led his men to build an artillery position. Each gun had a main gunner responsible for aiming, two deputy gunners responsible for transporting the shells, and Kong Hao was in charge of overall command.

The remaining twenty members set up a defense line in front of the artillery position. Although the probability that the Japanese airport guards could threaten them was extremely low, as a special forces team, they had to take all emergencies into consideration and formulate relevant plans.

In fact, Kong Hao actually hoped that the Japanese defenders would run out to die. Relying on the strength of the special forces, a squadron of Japanese soldiers could not break through their defensive positions in the dark night.

Those who were in charge of command and firing were members of the special forces' fire support group. They were very good at using mortars. Now they were just hitting some fixed targets, and they would definitely hit whatever they pointed at.

Moreover, the target was the Japanese airport. The bright lights just pointed out the direction for the artillery. Three hundred high-explosive grenades, even mortar shells, were enough to give the enemy a good beating.

To be honest, airplanes are very fragile. If a mortar shell explodes at close range, they are basically scrapped.

Moreover, the Japanese were very considerate and moved a large number of aerial bombs and fuel to the airport, preparing to refuel and die first thing in the morning. This may be the legendary pig teammate.

After setting all the parameters of the mortar, Kong Hao observed through the telescope and immediately gave the order:

"Target enemy airfield, reload, fire!"

With his order, three shells flew directly towards the brightest area of the Japanese airport. Two of them hit the plane parked at the airport, and one hit the Japanese ground crew on the ground, killing a lot of people at once, which earned Kong Hao a lot of merit.

A target as large as a bomber can be hit with the special forces' strength with one eye closed. What just happened was just a preset, and the highlight is coming next.

After Kong Hao observed the effect of the bombardment, he continued to issue orders:

"The effect is good. Fire twenty rounds rapidly from this direction. Blast!"
