The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 244 Switching Offense and Defense

The three wounded soldiers from the Second Squad of the Second Platoon were immediately treated by the doctors and nurses who arrived afterward.

Casualties on the battlefield were inevitable, something every soldier understood.

Having a doctor following behind, like the three wounded soldiers today, starting surgery immediately, was already excellent.

Liu Laopao ordered the soldiers of the Second Squad to continue clearing the area around the oil depot and establish a defensive line.

He led the soldiers of the First Squad of the Second Platoon towards the tower.

Throughout the entire airport, only the tower direction had intense gunfire.

After Captain Kosuinaibu Yume sent the distress telegram to the Tenth Army Headquarters.

He discovered that the Totsukaso squad, which had rushed to the airport to protect the aircraft, had been completely annihilated.

This terrified Captain Kosuinaibu Yume.

This National Revolutionary Army team was clearly not the one they had encountered last time.

The last time they attacked Guangde, they had encountered fierce resistance from the Sichuan Army.

But that team's equipment was inferior, and the imperial army smoothly broke through all the way.

Today, this team's equipment was much stronger than the imperial army's.

This made Captain Kosuinaibu Yume feel a great sense of crisis.

Especially when he saw the four anti-aircraft guns set up on the runway.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume had an unreal feeling: this team intended to completely occupy Guangde Airport!

In any case, he had to call for help, he had to save himself.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume knew that the only one who could save him now was Captain Ando Daisuke in Guangde City.

He called Captain Ando Daisuke again, and Captain Kosuinaibu Yume shouted for help into the phone:

"Captain Ando! Save the airport!

The attacking National Revolutionary Army numbers at least a thousand, and they have already stormed the airport.

They have occupied the runway and the oil depot.

They are attacking the tower.

I am organizing the last of our forces to hold out for reinforcements.

Please, Captain, hurry, hurry!"

Those who ask for help always hope that reinforcements will arrive instantly.

This is the greatest wish of a person about to drown.

But reinforcements need time to prepare before departure, and time to travel.

In fact, Captain Kamikawa Naaya had immediately issued an emergency assembly order when he received the order from Captain Ando Daisuke: "The entire team, assemble immediately, head to Guangde Airport."

To get to the airport as quickly as possible, Captain Ando Daisuke had also transferred all the vehicles under his command.

Also, to deal with some dangerous scenarios on the battlefield, he sent a force of equal size of puppet troops to follow along.

This puppet army company also had two hundred men, led by Captain Zhou Yunyong.

If there were situations on the airport that required cannon fodder, it would be time for this puppet army company to play its role.

There were thirteen vehicles, enough for the soldiers of the Kamikawa Naaya Company and the Zhou Yunyong puppet army company to ride in.

The convoy had already departed, and their arrival was only a matter of time.

The airport was more than ten miles away from Guangde County. Captain Kamikawa Naaya's company actually only spent seven minutes from receiving the order to boarding the vehicles and departing.

Now, it would take them at least ten minutes to reach the airport.

Captain Ando Daisuke comforted him on the phone: "Captain Kosuinaibu Yume, please hold on.

Reinforcements are on their way, the Kamikawa Naaya Company has been gone for three minutes.

Please hold on for five more minutes, five minutes, and the reinforcements will arrive."

Reinforcements are coming soon! This good news was immediately relayed by Captain Kosuinaibu Yume to all the Japanese soldiers still in the tower.

The tower was high and gave a wide view.

It was also clear that the imperial squad that had rushed to the runway had been honorably defeated;

The imperial squad that had gone to protect the oil depot had completely completed the task of protecting the oil depot.

But they had not been able to protect themselves; the oil depot was still there, but none of the squad remained.

This made the Japanese soldiers in the tower very worried.

There were not only the Taokatana Sho team, but also other airport personnel.

Adding up the numbers, there were still more than one hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers here.

If so many Japanese soldiers were organized, they would be a complete company.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume now had time. While ordering the Taokatana Sho team to immediately launch a counterattack against the outside,

He organized all the ground crew, pilots, and mechanics in the tower to take up arms.

Counterattack!

The Japanese soldiers overturned tables and chairs, blocking the passageways.

They attempted to use such obstacles to intercept the attacking Special Forces soldiers.

Kamino Kuga Hito was the flight company commander stationed at Guangde Airport.

Now, he and his entire flight company of pilots were like sparrows with broken wings.

They could only watch helplessly at the planes parked by the runway.

They had tried just now: they tried to approach the planes and then fly them away.

They abandoned this idea when they saw the scene on the runway.

A National Revolutionary Army team was lying prone around the seventeen planes.

Although they had not discovered the enemy, they remained on high alert.

How could Kamino Kuga Hito and his twenty-odd pilots possibly succeed in charging with pistols?

Helpless, these pilots could only reluctantly come to the tower, hoping to ask Captain Kosuinaibu Yume to make a decision for them.

To send a team to escort them onto the planes.

In the eyes of Kamino Kuga Hito and these pilots: as long as they could fly the planes into the blue sky, they could easily defeat the National Revolutionary Army team in front of them.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume also had the same understanding.

But the three squads under his command had already been assigned their respective tasks.

And they had all taken their positions and were fighting.

Kamino Kuga Hito was very dissatisfied with Captain Kosuinaibu Yume's arrangements:

He had not taken into account the overall strategic situation at all; if they could just get these people to take off and provide air support, this National Revolutionary Army team would be completely annihilated.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume also had some opinions about these pilots:

If you could have arrived on the battlefield earlier, and gone to get the planes into the air earlier, none of this would have been a problem.

Now all the problems had become unsolvable problems.

Although the defense inside the tower was very determined, the attacking team had brought up those iron cabinet-like trolleys.

The machine gun bullets of the Taokatana Sho team only produced a few sparks when they hit such trolleys.

The bullets fired by the other side easily penetrated the tables and chairs stacked in the corridor.

Causing heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers who insisted on counterattacking.

Now, the National Revolutionary Army team attacking was not only charging from one direction.

But from all directions that could lead to the tower command post.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume watched as the defensive positions he had organized were collapsing under the National Revolutionary Army's attack.

Completely unable to hold on.

He looked at the time: only three minutes had passed since Captain Ando Daisuke had said to hold on for seven minutes.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume could not believe his eyes: so much time had passed, and only three minutes had gone by?

He felt that the clock was deceiving him: the imperial soldiers had held on for so long, and only three minutes had passed?

At least thirty Japanese soldiers had died during that time.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume, who felt like he was living a year in a day, did not understand now: time is relative.

Joy makes the day seem long, loneliness makes the night seem deep!

He now longed for time to fly by, for an hour to pass in a minute.

No! He would be willing for an hour to pass in a second.

Such a wish had not yet been realized.

National Revolutionary Army soldiers had already stormed the tower command post.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume once again called Captain Ando Daisuke for help:

"Ando-san! The National Revolutionary Army has already reached the door of the tower command post.

Reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements you sent!

Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Captain Ando Daisuke was very helpless: only three minutes had passed since the last phone call.

Even from his first call for help, less than ten minutes had passed.

It was impossible to get from Guangde City to Guangde Airport in ten minutes.

Captain Ando Daisuke also had some complaints about Captain Kosuinaibu Yume:

As a defender of the airport, he had easily allowed the National Revolutionary Army to rush onto the runway.

And he had more than a dozen planes in his hands; if just a few of those planes had taken off, they could have sent those National Revolutionary Army soldiers running for their lives.

Now he even dared to get angry at him!

He was not used to this kind of behavior.

Captain Ando Daisuke hung up the phone, although he could clearly hear continuous gunfire from the phone just now.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume only wanted Ando Daisuke to hear it in the last moments of his life.

To let him know that the entire Guangde Airport had been lost due to the slow rescue of the Ando Daisuke Battalion.

What Captain Kosuinaibu Yume did not expect was that the other party hung up the phone directly.

Telegraph operator Kota Keisuke, under the command of Commander Arajiro Yusuke, sent the last farewell telegram to the Tenth Army Headquarters:

"Guangde Airport has fallen! The tower has fallen!

The National Revolutionary Army has counterattacked!"

Kamino Kuga Hito, Yamato Kazuma and the other twenty-odd pilots.

Fought tenaciously with their pistols.

However, the gap in weapons could completely determine life and death on the battlefield.

The bullets fired by these people could only make the stars on those trolleys a little brighter.

Kamino Kuga Hito and the other pilots were hit by bullets fired from all directions, one after another.

When Chen Sichuan led the soldiers of the First Squad into the tower command post.

The twenty-odd Japanese soldiers gathered here finally stopped resisting.

Captain Kosuinaibu Yume was an exception among these Japanese soldiers.

He looked at the airport command personnel around him, all of whom had stood up.

None of them picked up weapons to fight, which made Captain Kosuinaibu Yume very angry.

He shouted loudly: "Where is your courage? Where are your vows?"

No one answered!

Only a volley of gunfire could be considered a decent ending for him.

Hearing that the gunfire on the tower had stopped.

Lin Fan finally put down his worried heart.

Chen Sichuan commanded the soldiers of the First Squad to establish a defensive line on the tower.

The Second and Third Platoons had begun to search the entire airport at this time.

The farewell telegram sent from Guangde Airport made Yanagawa Heisuke very angry.

He felt offended: these National Revolutionary Army soldiers had dared to attack his army at this time.

But he had no other choice but to send planes to bomb them.

Guangde was too far away after all, and the main force was more than a hundred kilometers away from him.

It was impossible to get there in a short time.

Now he could only place his hopes on the Ando Battalion in Guangde City.

Hoping that they could take back the airport in time.

Captain Kamikawa Naaya, leading two hundred Japanese soldiers and a puppet army company convoy, had appeared outside Guangde Airport at this time.

Liu Laopao led the Second Platoon, and was now guarding outside the airport gate.

He had not expected that the Japanese would have reinforcements, which was a pleasant surprise.

The machine guns of the Second Platoon rang out. The Japanese soldiers of the Kamikawa Naaya Company also had a light machine gun mounted on the roof of the vehicle.

Now, hearing the gunfire coming from the airport entrance.

Captain Kamikawa Naaya immediately understood: the airport had fallen!

He was a warrior of the empire, and of course he would not just turn back.

He ordered: "Everyone get out of the vehicles! Take back the airport."

Captain Kamikawa Naaya wanted to take advantage of the fact that this National Revolutionary Army had not yet gained a firm foothold and launch an offensive immediately.

These Japanese and puppet troops hastily went into battle.

Zhou Yunyong waved his pistol and shouted loudly: "Get out of the vehicles! Get out of the vehicles quickly!"

He was very excited, the Japanese had always had smooth sailing in battle.

No National Revolutionary Army could withstand the attacks of the Japanese.

He was fortunate to be following the Japanese to fight the National Revolutionary Army today; this was a free opportunity to earn merit.

He would not let it go to waste!

To make the performance more convincing, Zhou Yunyong decided to make his soldiers braver.

To charge faster.

This would please the Japanese even more.

If he could leave a good impression on Captain Kamikawa Naaya.

In the future, he would have found a backer in the Japanese army.

With his own little plan, Captain Zhou shouted even louder.

"Get out of the vehicles! Get out of the vehicles quickly!

What are you dawdling for?"

His voice was excited, agitated, but there was no fear.

Zhou Yunyong's painstaking efforts were clearly not understood by his soldiers.

No matter how the captain shouted, they had to be careful when getting out of the vehicles, not to fall.

These puppet army soldiers got out of the vehicles one by one, cautiously.

Their captain was so anxious that he wanted to overturn the vehicles directly.

To dump all these soldiers out at once.

A team of Japanese and puppet troops mixed together came to the airport gate, riding in thirteen vehicles.

The news quickly reached Lin Fan.

Lin Fan immediately ordered: "The Third Platoon, go around and cut off the retreat of the Japanese from behind.

Don't let a single Japanese soldier escape."

Receiving the order, Jia Shusheng immediately took his Third Platoon's two squads and boarded the vehicles.

After receiving the order, Jia Shusheng had observed the terrain and decided to lead the team directly to cut off the rear of the group of Japanese.

Not allowing them to escape from the road.

Twenty vehicles drove out quickly along the road they had just entered.

Lin Fan was still waiting at the airport: he believed that the Japanese would not give up such an important airport so easily.

If he could not protect it, he must destroy it!

Lin Fan was waiting at the airport.

Now he was looking at the seventeen planes parked by the runway,

Especially those few transport planes.

In Lin Fan's mind, he already had a plan to use these transport planes to carry out a long-distance raid on an important stronghold of the Japanese.

Unfortunately, there were still too few transport planes.

If he could send out ten large transport planes at once, like the Japanese did during the Tangshan campaign.

Sending 1,500 soldiers to the weakest point of the Japanese forces.

It would be completely able to achieve the effect of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.

Now Lin Fan could only think about it, just think about it.

Lin Fan reached out and stroked these planes. Now was not the time to relax his vigilance.

The gunfire at the entrance of the airport was still very intense.

The Japanese soldiers of the Kamikawa Naaya Company, under the command of the company commander.

Immediately launched an attack on the airport.

The heavy machine guns, machine guns, and grenade launchers in his team quickly fired at the National Revolutionary Army who had just occupied the machine guns on the opposite side.

The puppet army company following behind this Japanese team also rushed up at this time.

These puppet troops had to grit their teeth and rush forward under the urging of Captain Zhou Yunyong.

Captain Kamikawa Naaya finally showed a happy expression on his face when he saw that this puppet army company had also rushed to the front: "Captain Zhou! You are a great man!

I will recommend you to Captain Ando Daisuke.

A good man who can charge into battle for the empire.

The empire will never mistreat them."

Zhou Yunyong showed a grateful expression on his face and quickly stood up: "Hai!

Captain Kamikawa! It is our honor to contribute to the empire.

Those who stubbornly resist to the end will not have a good end."

"Good! Good! Let your men rush in quickly.

My soldiers will provide the most adequate fire cover."

Captain Kamikawa Naaya was happy in his heart.

Among these puppet troops, there were actually people who sincerely supported the empire.

Captain Zhou Yunyong waved his pistol and loudly ordered the three squad leaders under him:

"Zhou Zaizhao, you lead your men to attack from the left.

Li Qing, lead your men to attack from the right.

Wang Yong, lead your men to attack from the center."

"Captain! The National Revolutionary Army's firepower in front is very fierce.

Even the Japanese don't dare to charge forward themselves. If we charge up like this, the casualties will be too great.

It's not worth it!" Li Qing said to Zhou Yunyong in a low voice.

Wang Yong also said: "Captain, charging directly like this will cause too many casualties to the brothers.

Charging up like this, we'll be shooting at our own people.

It's not worth it!"

Captain Zhou Yunyong was refuted by his two squad leaders.

Although these squad leaders were his drinking buddies, today was the best time to perform in front of the Japanese.

These two brothers were trying to sabotage him, which made him unhappy.

Captain Zhou Yunyong said in a low voice: "You two don't understand things.

The Japanese are watching today. If we fight this battle well.

We will be greatly rewarded when we go back.

Besides, we are facing the National Revolutionary Army now.

What kind of stuff is the National Revolutionary Army, don't you know what their combat power is?

We used to be National Revolutionary Army soldiers, what's so difficult about the National Revolutionary Army?"

Li Qing insisted: "Captain, we are just eating food from the Japanese here.

We don't need to sell our lives to them, do we!"

Zhou Yunyong got angry: "Charge! Charge quickly for me.

If the Japanese get angry later, we'll still have to charge.

There will be no merit at that time."
