Chapter 1 The Sanda Muto Battalion Commander had already figured it out: he now had more than a thousand devils under his command, with the entire regiment backing him up.

Leading his team to clear out the Special Operations Brigade troops occupying Taoyuan Airport was a sure win.

They had now figured out that the plane with the Fat Tiger painted on its belly was the mark of the Special Operations Brigade's aviation battalion, so the infantry acting in concert would naturally be soldiers from the Special Operations Brigade.

As the Art of War says: surround them tenfold, attack them fivefold, divide them twofold. Now the Hyakutai Battalion had twice the strength of the Special Operations Brigade's infantry, plus the entire 1st Regiment of devils and military police arriving later.

This far exceeded the Special Operations Brigade soldiers by a factor of ten, so a siege was completely out of the question.

The Sanda Muto Battalion Commander was now only afraid that the soldiers occupying Taoyuan Airport would run away, and his credit would run away with them.

"Speed up the advance!" Sanda Muto Battalion Commander had issued this order for the third time.

The one at the front of his team was Ota no Sukesquad Leader, driving a sidecar motorcycle to clear the way. His mood wasn't much better than Sanda Muto's, and he kept urging the devils to go faster.

Faster! Faster! These devils couldn't wait to appear at the airport the next second and capture those soldiers who had fallen from the sky.

The planes circling in the air were still flying high, seemingly unaware of the changes on the ground.

The roar of the engine, transmitted to the ears of Sanda Muto Battalion's devils, evoked nothing but excitement and agitation in them.

This was a devil team that had never been on the battlefield, never seen blood and fire. Even their usual training, because the consumption on the front lines during the war was too great, these devils had very few opportunities to use live ammunition during training.

They spent most of their time in the camp, bored and bragging, each fantasizing about one day being able to display great power on the battlefield.

Today they had waited for this opportunity, and now the battlefield was waiting for their performance.

Shi Junxia arranged five platoons on the four-sided positions. The platoon he led was originally attacking the tower, but now that the tower had been occupied.

His platoon became the reserve team, waiting for the devil's reinforcements to appear. Of course, if the devils wanted to appear in front of them, they would at least have to pass the barrier of those planes circling overhead.

In order to protect the airport, Mao Wenxing had arranged for twelve fighter jets and five bombers to circle in the air.

Jiang Yuanwu was piloting a bomber and had just performed a scene in which a round of bombs killed an entire team of devils.

Now he was still circling in the air, and the fighter jets patrolling with them had landed to refuel. This time, Jiang Yuanwu spotted the devil's convoy again.

In fact, they had discovered this devil convoy when it was still in the city.

It was just that there were too many civilians and too many buildings in the city. Attacking the devils in such a place made Jiang Yuanwu and the others somewhat hesitant.

Three fighter jets and two bombers in the air had been observing the actions of the team on the ground.

When the devil team had driven out of the city and allowed them to drive more than ten kilometers in the suburbs, twenty kilometers away from Taoyuan Airport, Jiang Yuanwu and his team began to attack.

Three fighter jets swooped down from the air. Sanda Muto Battalion Commander was sitting in the cab. The loud noise from the car engine running at full speed made it impossible for him to hear the sound of the plane swooping down from the air.

Only a few devils standing in the carriage watched the planes, which had been high above, suddenly swoop down towards them.

These planes were catching up from behind the cars, and these devils watched in surprise as a flash of fire appeared in front of the nose of the plane: a "rumbling" explosion sounded.

Sergeant Uehara Shimeshi, who was blown into the air, was still thinking in mid-air: "What kind of plane is this? It even has cannons." No one paid attention to his thoughts.

While the fighter jets chased and fired continuous artillery at the devils, machine guns were also firing non-stop: "Da-da-da!"

The crisp sound of machine guns echoed in the suburban wilderness, and the rumbling of artillery fire never stopped.

The cannons on the three fighter jets could originally fire continuously. They fired from the last car in the Sanda Muto Battalion all the way to the sidecar motorcycle at the front.

Jiang Yuanwu followed behind the fighter jets, watching the devil's cars on the ground already burning, and many devils running around like a hornet's nest.

The bombs on his bomber were now useless, but the four machine guns under the belly of the plane were very suitable for sweeping the devils on the ground.

Ota no Sukesquad Leader never thought that his combat career would end so quickly. He turned around to check when he heard an explosion behind him.

He personally saw a line of fire chasing him from behind, and then he flew into the air with the motorcycle. In mid-air, Ota no Sukesquad Leader was hit by I don't know how many shrapnel or bullets.

Without waiting for landing, Ota no Sukesquad Leader had already died for their king while still in the air, although their king didn't even know he existed.

The luck of the Hyakuri Taro Company Commander was still very good. The troop carrier he was riding in was hit by a cannon in the rear of the carriage.

Startled, the Hyakuri Taro Company Commander felt as if the rear half of the car was suddenly lifted up, and when the car returned to the ground again.

The terrified Hyakuri Taro Company Commander trembled and pushed open the car door long ago. As soon as the car stabilized a little, he jumped out.

Because the action of rushing out was too hasty, his body rolled several times on the ground, and finally rolled into the field on the side of the road before stopping.

It was precisely this action that perfectly avoided the subsequent machine gun fire and flying shrapnel.

Lying on the ground, Hyakuri Taro Company Commander only dared to quietly look up at the planes flying very low, watching the lines of fire connecting from the air to the ground.

Everything on the ground, touching that line of fire, immediately splashed up, and when the devils were connected to that line of fire, blood and flesh immediately flew everywhere.

Even the burning cars were separated for a while when they were connected by those lines of fire.

After his Hyakuri Company was ravaged by the planes like this, less than one-third of the devils escaped.

Not a single car in the entire convoy had escaped until now. All the vehicles from the beginning to the end were burning, and more than fifty cars also ignited a line of fire on the highway.

Sanda Muto Battalion Commander was also lying in the field on the side of the highway, nervously watching the planes overhead.

These planes had caught up from behind, and he now understood this very clearly.

Were they just passing by accidentally, or were they waiting here on purpose? Sanda Muto Battalion Commander still didn't know.

But as the whistling sound of the first fighter jet diving down and turning back entered his ears, Sanda Muto Battalion Commander already had the idea of wanting to die.

This attack came too suddenly, and the devils of the entire battalion didn't have any resistance at all. Now most of the devils who had escaped into the fields didn't have any weapons.

Just now, in order to escape faster, most of the devils had thrown their weapons into the carriages.

The carriages were now making crackling sounds, and the wind was helping the fire, and the fire was borrowing the power of the wind, and now it was burning more and more vigorously.

The weapons in the carriages had already turned into firewood-like things in the raging fire.

What to do?

Sanda Muto Battalion Commander asked himself: the planes that had just attacked them once had flown back again.

"Run! Run in all directions! Run faster, faster!" This was the order issued by Sanda Muto Battalion Commander.

Today, the entire battalion had been receiving this order all along: the battalion commander would only issue the order to go faster and faster.

Originally, there were not many devils left, but now they were really running desperately. They all understood that the faster they ran at this time, the safer they would be away from the other devils.

These killing gods in the air would not chase and sweep a single devil, they were all chasing and sweeping the devils who were escaping in large groups.

This understanding was correct, that was indeed the case. The planes in the air were sweeping the places where there were more devils.

While chasing and shooting at the devils running away below, Jiang Yuanwu said, "This group of devils is finished, they dare not continue to advance."

Lu Yong said with a smile, "The devils who came in fifty-seven cars, it would be a skill if they could have two hundred of them still alive.

These devils are running so fast now, it will take half a day to gather them. Besides, it's still twenty kilometers away from the airport, how are these devils going to get there?"

The pursuit and killing of the devils by the Special Operations Brigade pilots shocked Sanda Muto Battalion Commander. He didn't expect these planes to let go of even one devil.

It was clear that their two consecutive rounds of sweeping had already scattered the devils, but they actually came for a third round of pursuit, killing each of the devils who were still running desperately on the ground one by one.

This made those devils who were still escaping dare not be negligent, and they had to continue running, not knowing when it would end.

Not knowing when these killing gods in the sky would be satisfied.

When the planes that were chasing them were high in the sky again, Sanda Muto Battalion Commander found that he had run out at least five kilometers, and there wasn't a single devil in front of or behind him.

He had escaped so far alone, but Sanda Muto was also secretly rejoicing in his heart: fortunately, he had escaped alone, otherwise he might have been the focus of the pursuit just now and died halfway.

He still didn't dare to go back to the road to the airport. Sanda Muto Battalion Commander stopped temporarily in the wilderness. He was preparing to find a village to rest for a while.

In Wan Island, the devils had spent a lot of effort over the years. They had stationed military police in every village. Sanda Muto Battalion Commander didn't have to be afraid of the Wan Island people being detrimental to him at all.

The news that Sanda Muto Battalion had been scattered had not yet reached Hyakutai Takuma Regiment Commander's ears. He had now urgently gathered more than two hundred cars.

The devils were squeezed into the carriages, slowly leaving the city, and nearly a thousand military police were following them.

This made their team have as many as five thousand devils.

Hyakutai Takuma Regiment Commander was obviously very satisfied with such a team: he believed that such a strong force could capture cities and seize land.

Thinking about how Hata Kaikyo only sent a small team to capture a strong city guarded by 40,000 National Army soldiers on the distant mainland.

Could he not capture an airport occupied by a few hundred National Army soldiers with five thousand devils?

When their convoy was still gathering in the city, it was discovered by the planes patrolling in the air.

This news caused a heated discussion among the aviation team protecting the airport. Several pilots who had not fired a gun since the start of the war strongly demanded that this batch of devils should be handed over to them.

The reason was very sufficient: in their current operations, fuel could be replenished at the airport, but shells could not be replenished, so the ammunition allocation of each plane should be even, so that all planes could fight in case of accidents.

This reason was too sufficient, and Jiang Yuanwu and the others were speechless when they heard this reason.

So, before the devils of the Hyakutai Takuma Regiment had left the city, their fate had been decided: this time, another batch of fighter jets and bombers was responsible for attacking them.

Yang Tianyi and the others fought for this opportunity and immediately took over the position of Jiang Yuanwu and the others.

The sun shone down from the gaps in the clouds, shining on the road where the Hyakutai Takuma Regiment was traveling. Looking at the golden light shining on the road, Hyakutai Takuma Regiment Commander was in a very good mood.

He believed that this was a very good omen, foreshadowing that he would make great contributions in this battle to attack Taoyuan Airport, and what followed would of course be the golden road to promotion and salary increase.

Yang Tianyi, Tao Wen, Hua Xiao and the other Special Operations Brigade pilots who were paying attention to this convoy in the air were also very happy: a ray of sunlight hit the convoy of devils, making it too clear to see.

At this time, although the devil's convoy had already left the city, it was not the best place to attack. They were still waiting, watching the devil's convoy continue to advance for another ten kilometers.

The location they had scheduled for the attack was ten kilometers away from the previous devil team that was attacked, and there were not many residents around. It was a good place to ambush the devils.

The devils of the Hyakutai Takuma Regiment were unaware of all this, and the news that Sanda Muto Battalion had been defeated had not spread.

The Second Battalion was at the very front of the entire team this time. Inukai Eita, the battalion commander, was sitting in the cab of the troop carrier and could hear the discussions of the devils under his command in the carriage behind him.

One devil's voice was saying loudly, "The people who occupied Taoyuan Airport must not be the National Army, the National Army does not have such strength."

"Maybe they are mercenaries? You have to know that their pilots are hiring mercenaries!" another devil said loudly.

"Even if they are mercenaries, they won't knowingly come to die. Those people are here to make money, not to die," a devil objected loudly.

"Aren't those ordinary soldiers afraid of death?"

This was a question! Knowing that it was a dead end, they would still run over to die, that was called a death warrior.

Not many people were willing to be such a death warrior.

A devil said loudly, "No matter who they are, they are definitely dead this time. They are here, with no logistics, no reinforcements, no supplies, nothing, they definitely won't survive today."

The words of this devil said all the thoughts of all the devils. In their opinion, those who landed at Taoyuan Airport this time were definitely not going to survive.

Listening to the discussions of the devils under his command, Inukai Eita, the battalion commander, was very gratified: these devils had commendable fighting spirit!

Although these devils had not been on the battlefield, they had been hearing news of victory from the front lines every day, and they had long fantasized that they were the ones fighting on the battlefield.

If they were on the battlefield, they would be able to win one victory after another, and even fight more bravely and better than those devils who had already been on the battlefield.

Yang Tianyi and Tao Wen in the air did not know what the devils were thinking. Yang Tianyi and the others only knew one thing: the vanguard of the devil convoy had entered the ambush position.

This time, Yang Tianyi and the others did not intend to innovate in the air-to-ground battle. They still followed the tactics used by Jiang Yuanwu just now: the fighter jets would first go down and strafe and bomb with machine guns and cannons.

The purpose of this arrangement was that the fighter jets were small and flexible. If the devils resisted, the evasive movements had to be done quickly.

At the same time, their strafing of the devils also started from the tail. There was also a purpose in doing so: the troop carriers of the devils had machine guns mounted on the front of the cars. If they attacked from the front, these machine guns that were set up could still counterattack.

But when the planes approached from the rear of the devils, these machine guns that they had set up were useless.

Fighting was not about relying on luck and brute force, it was a meticulous job.

Now Yang Tianyi began to dive! Behind him, seven fighter jets followed and dived.

Completely immersed in their fantasies, the devils of the Hyakutai Takuma Regiment did not notice that behind them, at a distance of at least two or three kilometers, a team of fighter jets had dived to a position less than fifty meters above the ground.

They were accelerating and rushing towards their convoy. The distance of this operation was too far, and the planes specially designed by the Special Operations Brigade to deal with infantry could not be driven over.

The fighter jets now had only one cannon and one machine gun, but even so, it was enough for the devils to suffer.

Matsumoto 43rd Squad Leader was at the very end of the entire regiment. He was not sitting in the cab, but was in the carriage with the devils under his command.

The origin of his name was because his father had him when he was forty-three years old, so he was called Matsumoto 43rd.

Today, Matsumoto 43rd was talking to the devils under his command about how they would kill everyone when they arrived at Taoyuan Airport, and how they would beat the Special Operations Brigade soldiers who had occupied Taoyuan Airport so that they could not find the north.

Just talking about such topics made these devils so happy that they could not find the north. The atmosphere in the entire carriage was very lively, so that when they were hit by a shell, all the devils in the entire carriage were blown up and flying, those who died were dead, and they did not notice that a team of fighter jets had appeared behind them.
