Chapter 177 Ravage of Japanese Airfield
Mudanjiang City, Hualin Town,
Where have all the enemies gone?
Although Yin Xinjun was a little strange,
But it was getting late.
We still arranged for some people to stay there.
Later, Peng Yuan's troops also found a few houses in the south of the town to set up camp.
Afterwards, the team members started going shopping and eating in groups of three or four.
Yin Xinjun formulated a new rule that half of the stolen property must be handed over for redistribution, so everyone had a lot of money in their pockets.
Jiang Yong was sulking there. He ran over angrily, grabbed Yin Xinjun's hand and said,
"Brother-in-law, I saw it all. Ding Shan and Yan Tian were dividing the money. Even Tong Yu got some. Why didn't we get any?"
Yin Xinjun frowned and looked at Jiang Yong. He slowly took out a stack of banknotes and some gold and silver jewelry from his pocket.
"Cousin, now that you've taken my money, you're mine. From now on, you have to listen to me!"
Jiang Yong took it immediately.
"Brother-in-law, look at what you said. They've brought their families with them to follow you. Aren't they sure they'll listen to you?"
Yin Xinjun asked with a smile,
"Cousin, you are familiar with this area. Tell me about the situation in Mudanjiang. Do the Japanese have any important bases?"
"Mudanjiang? There's a big train station in the northeast of the city, and there are warehouses and all kinds of facilities there. In addition, there's an airport in the southwest of the city."
"Airport?" Yin Xinjun became interested. No wonder he could see Japanese planes flying in the sky every day.
"Yes, this place is close to the Soviet border. There are many planes parked at that airport. They are all for fighting against the Russians!"
"thank you, I know now!"
Jiang Yong was very happy when he got the money.
"Brother-in-law, let's go have a drink together!"
"No, I have something else to do tonight!"
After dinner, Yin Xinjun said hello to Sai Mulan and planned to go to Mudanjiang City for reconnaissance to find out the enemy's details.
He would not passively wait for the enemy to attack, but would like to nip the enemy in the bud.
It was already dark when Yin Xinjun arrived at the door and was about to tie his mount to the carriage. Every time he went out, he would bring back some things.
Tang Junping just came back and saw the King of Hell. He hurried over to report something.
"Boss, I finally figured it out. There were originally nine Japanese soldiers and police here, but they were all transferred to the city because they were short of manpower!"
"Not enough manpower?" Yin Xinjun's eyes lit up. It seemed that the continuous attack on the enemy during this stage still played a huge role.
"Yes, boss, should we go to Mudanjiang City to cause trouble for him?" Tang Junping's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Wait a minute! I'll go check out the situation tonight!"
Yin Xinjun said as he tied up the carriage.
"Tell the brothers to go to bed early at night to prevent combat missions!"
After saying that, Yin Xinjun mounted his warhorse and galloped towards Mudanjiang City.
Because the east-west Binsui Railway and the north-south Tujia Railway intersect in Mudanjiang City, Mudanjiang City became a railway hub town. Its industry and commerce developed rapidly, and the city's status increased rapidly. The Japanese at that time called it: Little Harbin, Big Mudanjiang.
Yin Xinjun put the carriage into the space, rode his horse at full speed, and arrived at the outskirts of Mudanjiang in less than an hour.
At this time, he heard the movements of Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding area, so he put away his horse and started walking.
It was his first time to come to the city, which was much larger than the county town and had tens of thousands of residents.
Especially in the North District, there are a large number of Japanese!
Yin Xinjun sneaked into the city quietly.
The North District not only had a large number of Japanese expatriates, but also had train stations and barracks. There were thousands of Japanese soldiers stationed in the barracks alone!
After a stroll around the entire city and eavesdropping, we found that there were more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers and thousands of puppet troops, not counting the police and secret agents.
And through eavesdropping, Yin Xinjun also discovered that at least three battalions of Japanese invaders arrived within two days!
After completing the reconnaissance of the urban situation, Yin Xinjun came to the southwest of the city. About 5 kilometers away from the urban area, with the help of lighting, he finally found the Japanese airport.
The airport covers an area of about 100 acres and is heavily guarded. There are two barbed wire fences within 1 kilometer around the perimeter, and there is a bunker every 300-400 meters!
Yin Xinjun looked at his watch and saw that it was already 3 o'clock in the morning. He hid behind a dirt slope about two kilometers away from the airport.
He immediately set up the Type 41 mountain cannon, erected the gun scope and roughly calibrated the coordinates, then began to fiercely bombard the interior of the airport!
With the help of the fire from the exploding artillery shells, Yin Xinjun finally determined the location of the airport and saw more than 20 planes parked on the runway!
He continued to adjust the shooting coordinate parameters and continuously fired shells at the runway!
Planes were hit and caught fire, and the entire airport was shrouded in black smoke. The Japanese soldiers were panicked and could not see the exact location of the cannons.
Many Japanese ground crew members ran to the runway to put out the fire, but it was of no avail. Shells continued to fall from the sky, and Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces.
On the bunker, someone finally discovered the sound and location of the cannon.
Some Japanese soldiers began to roar and ran towards the sound of artillery fire!
However, for Yin Xinjun, who was equipped with an arsenal of weapons, this was undoubtedly a death sentence.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers getting closer and closer,
Yin Xinjun took out the Type 97 mortar and fired shell after shell, knocking down the pursuing Japanese soldiers one by one. Even if there was only one Japanese soldier, the shell would fall on his head!
After ravaging the area for an hour, Yin Xinjun used up all the stock of shells for the Type 41 and left the scene in a swagger of satisfaction!
At this time, the sky was already dawning!
When Saito Yaheita received the news that the airport was attacked, his first reaction was that it was a Soviet air raid!
But there was a hesitant voice coming from the microphone.
"General, some say it was an artillery attack, others say it was an airstrike, and the debate is still going on!"
"Baka, artillery attacks and air strikes are completely different. What's there to argue about?"
Saito Yahei would rather it was the shelling that was done by the Anti-Japanese United Army. If the Soviets took action at this time, the Tujia Railway and the Linmi Railway would have been cut off, and it would have been a long time before they could be repaired. The thought of it is chilling!
"Sir, please come and take a look!"
"Baka, I'll be there right away!" Saito Yahei hung up the phone angrily.
When his motorcade arrived at the airport, Saito Yahei still couldn't believe his eyes.
Although the fire has been put out, the entire airport is still shrouded in smoke. At first glance, the airport is in ruins, with a large number of spare parts and construction waste scattered on the runway, and it is also covered with bomb craters of various sizes!
The plane that was originally parked there had been burned beyond recognition and turned into a pile of scrap metal. Even the glass in the building was all shattered!
The collected corpses were placed on the ground in a long line.
A Japanese major came running to report,
"General, in last night's surprise attack, we lost 28 planes, 9 pilots were killed or injured, and 162 other ground crew and guards were killed or injured!"
Saito Yahei took a deep breath.
"Is it an airstrike or an artillery attack?"
"General, judging from the intensity of the attack, it should be caused by artillery. The enemy fired at least 150 shells, but the specific location of the shell casings and artillery has not been found!"
Everything was like a fog, and Saito Yahei was confused. He shouted,
"Chief of Staff, all planned attacks on Linkou County today are cancelled!"
"Hayi!"
Such a terrifying strike force suddenly appeared around the headquarters. With only a few thousand troops at hand, it seemed that there was no chance of winning the expedition.
