Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

9:00 PM on the 20th.

On a slightly flat open space on the mountain of Zhaojiaopo Village, about nine kilometers northwest of Taiyuan Airport, six Taihang Type 38 109 rocket launchers were being continuously assembled by a group of soldiers code-named Unit 10089. At the same time, a special operations squadron was on alert nearby.

Speaking of the 10089 Unit, in order to prevent the news of the 107 rocket launcher from leaking out, Zeng Jiwen specially transferred a battalion of artillerymen that he had trained from his home.

Due to the previous negotiations with the opposite side to reduce the number of troops, a large number of veterans were left behind in the rear. Excluding Zeng Jiwen, the total number reached nearly 80,000 people, but the south was given three divisions with a total of 45,000 people.

In addition, Zeng Jiwen led the remaining troops, and the number of people once expanded to 30,000. He probably brought the main force of nearly 10,000 people into Shanxi, and the rest stayed in Lanzhou to maintain the northwest.

Only when the force is expanded will some people be slowly transferred over according to the gaps. This time, due to the need for extreme confidentiality, for safety reasons, Zeng Jiwen specially transferred people from the rear to form the 10089 force.

In an open field east of the airport, a battalion of soldiers was lurking. Since the various regiments of the 389th Brigade were carrying out their respective combat missions according to the combat plan, and in order to maintain confidentiality, Zeng Jiwen specifically requested the headquarters to send a battalion of the special forces regiment to lurk day and night in the mountainous area north of Taiyuan Airport.

The main task is to immediately investigate the situation of the airport after the 10089 troops attack the airport. If it is completely destroyed, they will evacuate immediately. If there are still some aircraft left, they will immediately launch a second destructive attack.

At the same time, at Shijiazhuang and Handan airports, a similar force was doing the same thing, cooperated by Commander Rong in the north and local forces in Handan respectively.

22:58.

Zhang Ziwei, the artillery company commander in charge of the attack, stared at the distant airfield with hawk-like eyes, his face etched with determination. "Everyone, take your positions, and prepare to aim!" Zhang Ziwei's voice was steady and powerful, reaching every soldier's ears clearly.

The soldiers moved swiftly, expertly adjusting the angle and direction of the 107mm rocket launcher. The barrel of the gun slowly rotated with the soldiers' manipulation, making a dull grinding sound. Even a young soldier's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Target bearing, three o'clock, distance 9,500 meters." The observer stood on the observation deck, carefully observing the airfield's bearings through the gun scope and rangefinder, pointing to the airport's reference points and reporting various reference data. Based on this data, Zhang Ziwei continuously calculated the impact point and then reported the parameters. The soldiers slightly turned the knobs on the gun barrel, precisely adjusting the aiming angle.

"Ready!" the soldiers reported in unison. Zhang Ziwei took a deep breath and reconfirmed the calculated data.

23 o'clock.

"Fire!" Zhang Ziwei shouted, and six 107mm rocket launchers erupted with a deafening roar, their muzzles emitting massive plumes of flame. The shells whizzed towards the airport like meteors, drawing a brilliant arc through the air.

A moment later, a violent explosion was heard from the distant airport, and the airport was shrouded in flames and smoke. The soldiers did not relax at all, and the loaders immediately began to load the next round of ammunition.

"The impact point is off by 5 degrees. Continue to extend the distance," the observer continued after observing from the observation tower. Zhang Ziwei immediately recalculated the data and extended the impact point forward, then immediately launched a second round of artillery fire.

At this time at Taiyuan Airport, the pilots were resting, and more than a hundred planes were parked on the apron, which was a spectacular sight. Due to the high-intensity flights during the day on the first day, and in order to execute the flight mission faster early the next morning, the planes were not driven to the warehouse, but parked on the open runway.
