Chapter 186 Commander, I have dozens of extra fighter planes! (The third update!)

"Sir, you are amazing. The Japanese actually sent reinforcements." In a bush leading to Yangon Airport, a native said to Long Wenjian in admiration.

"Sir, how did you determine that the Japanese would send reinforcements?"

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Long Wenjian's face.

"The Japanese only have those three tricks. Once you figure them out, that's it."

"Don't think the Japanese are so powerful. They are not that powerful."

"But why did Commander Sun and his team fail?"

This sentence left Long Wenjian speechless, and he could only explain that the other party was too careless.

"Okay, the Japanese are coming soon. Let all the troops get ready and try to wipe out this group of Japanese in one go." Long Wenjian ordered.

He is very familiar with besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements.

So when attacking the airport, he guessed that the Japanese would definitely send reinforcements.

After all, the troops attacking the airport were all American-equipped regiments, and their firepower was extremely strong.

Especially the volunteers who serve as the backbone have quite good combat effectiveness.

At least some of the natives tried to retreat and were shot on the spot.

At this moment, Captain Takeda, who had received the order, was leading the 9th Squadron towards the location of the gunfire.

As a result, halfway through the journey, they met the natives who had fled back. They said that the enemy's firepower was too fierce.

The natives who were responsible for building the airport were so frightened that they ran away.

This made Captain Takeda a little confused. When did the resistance army become so powerful?

But looking at the continuous explosions in the distance.

He was even more worried. Could it be that they were not the rebels? Instead, they were the Sichuan Army?
With this idea in mind, Captain Takeda ordered his troops to speed up.

He had no idea that there was an army on both sides of the road ahead, waiting for him to step into an ambush.

"Shoot..." Dense bullets hit directly in the middle of the Japanese army, instantly dividing the Japanese army into two sections.

At the same time, without waiting for the Japanese army to react.

The mortars also fired at the Japanese army.

Many Japanese soldiers were blown away directly.

Then, there was more intense gunfire.

Bullets poured down on the Japanese soldiers in the middle of the road like raindrops, and many of them hiding in the jungle were killed directly.

Captain Takeda was just about to order his men to find cover, but it was too late. The 81mm mortar shells kept falling like raindrops, causing the Japanese troops to flee in panic.

After the explosion, hundreds of grenades attacked again, and after a burst of bangs, the enemy rushed to the front.

Dense bullets attacked again, and this kind of attack directly stunned Captain Takeda.

Why does a guerrilla force have such strong firepower?

"Captain, the enemy's firepower is too strong. We can't stop it at all." The subordinate said in horror.

"Baga, retreat." Captain Takeda immediately ordered the troops to retreat to Rangoon without saying a word.

As for supporting the airport?

forget it!
Save your life first.

However, Long Wenjian did not send troops to pursue the enemy, but instead ordered his men to immediately change into the Japanese uniforms and weapons and equipment.

"Hurry up, put some blood on your face and pretend to be more convincing. Don't let the truth show up."

If it were the Sichuan Army, they would probably have to select some personnel.

After all, the Japanese soldiers were not very tall, while there were quite a lot of tall and strong men in the Sichuan Army.

But these natives are different, their height is about the same as the Japanese soldiers.

Therefore, there are no flaws when pretending to be Japanese soldiers.

"Remember, we are the 9th Squadron. My name is Takeda Jiro. Don't call you the wrong name." Long Wenjian also changed his military rank to captain in the Japanese army.

Originally, he planned to ambush this Japanese squadron, and then take advantage of the opportunity when the enemy fled to the airport to launch a surprise attack and seize the airport.

Who knew that this group of Japanese troops would change direction and run back to Yangon instead of going to the airport.

This ruined his plan, so he came up with another plan, which was to pretend to be a Japanese soldier to see if he could trick the Japanese.

After all, the Japanese troops at the airport did not know at this time that the supporting Japanese troops had been defeated.

The main focus is on time difference.

While the Japanese had no time to react, they rushed into the airport.

"Hayi." A native responded quickly.

"Yo, you have great potential." Long Wenjian praised using poor Japanese military language.

This was what he learned from Lin Yi in Myitkyina. Although it was very poor, it was definitely sufficient.

Not long after, a troop of more than one hundred people rushed towards the airport in a hurry.

When we arrived at the back of the airport, we found that it was heavily guarded.

"Baga, open the door quickly, we're ambushed." Long Wenjian had been reciting this sentence along the way, so he spoke it particularly skillfully at this moment.

The Japanese soldiers on guard did not recognize that Long Wenjian was an imposter because it was dark and his face was covered in dirt and blood. They just hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask a few more questions.

"Bakayaluo, open the door quickly, we've been ambushed." As he said that, Long Wenjian slapped someone angrily.

As a result, the Japanese soldier, who was dazed by the slap, stood at attention and saluted.

"Hey, Captain, we'll open the door for you right away." The wooden gate was opened immediately.

Finally he discovered something was wrong, because Long Wenjian was looking at him with a half-smile in his eyes.

"Baga..." The Japanese soldier wanted to say something, but then he saw a flash of light.

His heart stopped beating instantly and breathing became extremely difficult.

Other Japanese soldiers also noticed something was wrong and were about to open fire.

As a result, we saw countless dense bullets coming towards us.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
In an instant, the Japanese soldiers on guard fell to the ground one after another.

"Kill, take over the airport as quickly as possible." After saying this, Long Wenjian took the lead and rushed towards the interior of the airport.

The soldiers behind him followed closely.

It has to be said that in every major war, Long Wenjian always led the charge and set a very good example.

Morale has been high.

However, since he was unable to take the overall situation into consideration, his troops suffered the greatest casualties.

Half an hour later, we successfully took over the airport.

After a thorough inventory, it was found that more than a thousand people had been killed in the attempt to capture the airport.

There is no way. Although the Japanese army has few troops, their military skills are definitely far superior to those of the natives.

The only difference between the two sides is the equipment.

But for these natives, the American weapons with all the bullets used up were no better than firewood sticks, not to mention any tactical coordination. Only the Kachin warriors recruited by Long Wenjian were slightly better, with their flexible bodies, and the casualties were not great, but the other natives were in a difficult situation.

"Great, great, great job, five for one, it's worth it." Long Wenjian didn't care about the casualties.

For him, it was totally worth it to take over the airport at the cost of a thousand men.

"Sir, what should we do with these fighter planes?" asked a soldier.

Hearing this, Long Wenjian hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Send a telegram to the regimental commander and ask him to find a way to send pilots over to fly these fighter planes back?"

"How many are there?"

"There are nearly fifty of them, some of them are bombers."

"We can't waste so many fighter planes. Let the regiment commander find a way to fly them back. From now on, our mission is to guard these planes." Long Wenjian said solemnly.

"Also, transfer three more regiments to attack Rangoon and put pressure on the Japanese army."

"Yes."

…………

"This is really giving me trouble." In the middle of the night, Cun Yunsheng was pulled out of bed. Naturally, he was in a bad mood and yawned continuously.

When he heard that it was Long Wenjian who sent the telegram asking him to send a pilot, he was even more speechless.

How to send someone in the middle of the night?
The failure rate during night takeoffs is frighteningly high these days.

Not to mention, without radar guidance, it is easy to get lost when flying at night.

However, when he saw fifty fighter planes, Cun Yunsheng fell silent.

Originally he was still wondering where to get the fighter jets.
Now we have the fighter jets, but it’s a bit troublesome to transport them back.

The total number of pilots he had seemed to be only about fifty.

Most of them are rookies, and they can probably barely fly a fighter plane into the sky, but as for fighting?

Forget it!
Only about a dozen pilots had combat experience.

"Commander? Do you want to give up?" Meng Fanle asked hesitantly.

"Hmph, how can you let go of the meat that's already in your mouth?" Cun Yunsheng shook his head and then said.

"Get me the air force."

"Yes."

Soon, the aviation team's call was connected, and Zhang Yang's voice came from the other end.

"Commander, what are your instructions?"

"Are you still awake?" Cun Yunsheng started with a few pleasantries.

"I'm just preparing materials for tomorrow's training. Is there any task?" Zhang Yang continued.

"Well, there is a mission that requires you to take all the pilots on a trip." Then Cun Yunsheng told him that Long Wenjian had seized a batch of fighter planes.

Upon hearing that there were fifty fighter planes, including heavy bombers, Zhang Yang became extremely excited.

If it wasn't still dark, we would have taken off immediately.

"Don't get excited. Wait until it's a little light and immediately send people to the Yangon airport the night before to bring back all the fighter planes there. Also, in order to prevent bombing by Japanese fighter planes, at least ten fighter planes must be sent out for escort. You must do this personally and make sure to bring back those fighter planes." Cun Yunsheng reminded again.

"Yes, please rest assured, I will complete the task." Zhang Yang said excitedly.

After hanging up the phone, the combat alert was immediately sounded.

When the pilots who were still asleep heard the alarm, they immediately jumped out of bed, quickly put on their clothes, and ran out the door.

The most confused are the rookie pilots.

The Japanese army is attacking?
It shouldn’t be!

Can the Japanese army bomb at night?

Although he was confused, he was very quick and ran out the door while wearing his clothes.

Then I saw Zhang Yang standing downstairs.

Zhang Yang glanced at his watch and saw that it took three minutes, which was not bad.

"Good, you did a great job. There is a mission." Zhang Yang then told him about the mission of picking up the plane.

After hearing this, all the pilots were excited.

This means that from now on, the air force will no longer be short of aircraft.

All the pilots were so excited that they couldn't sleep and began to wait for dawn.

…………

"What? What did you say, the airport was lost?" This time, Hebe Masamitsu was completely panicked. He did not expect the enemy to attack so quickly. They took the airport in just a few hours.

Is this still the indigenous resistance army?
When did they acquire such powerful fighting power?
More importantly, the enemy actually attacked the reinforcements sent halfway.

They pretended to be reinforcements who were ambushed and easily tricked the outer security line into opening.

This made Hebian Masamitsu extremely panicked. You know, without the airport, it meant that fighter planes would not be able to take off during the day. Without fighter planes, it would not be so easy for him to defend Yangon.

"Damn it, who are these enemies? Can anyone see clearly?" Hebian Zhengsan walked back and forth, cursing.

He believed that this force was definitely not a simple rebel force and that the Sichuan Army must be present.

An indigenous resistance army actually understands tactics and possesses so many American weapons and equipment?

This is absolutely impossible!

He even suspected that it was the Sichuan Army who were pretending to be them.

Yahara Hiromichi on the side also had a helpless look on his face. He was also very curious about who this enemy was and why they had such powerful combat power.

In addition to heavy artillery and tanks, they had all the weapons that American equipment should have, and the density of firepower far exceeded their imagination.

Not only that, he also understands tactics and is good at surrounding a point and attacking reinforcements.

Seeing the reinforcements withdrawing to Rangoon, they immediately pretended to be ambushed. This kind of command ability on the battlefield is definitely not something that a group of illiterate natives can understand.

So he also suspected that the Sichuan Army was behind this incident.

Two squadrons were lost in one go, and now there are very few troops available in Yangon City, making it difficult to defend Yangon.

Especially after losing the airport and air support, they were much weaker than the enemy in terms of firepower.

"Commander, I suggest that we should consider retreating. The enemy's target should be Rangoon. With our current strength, we cannot defend Rangoon unless we let the 55th Division in Mandalay move south immediately." Yahara Hiromichi said.

"Damn it, we must not retreat. You know that losing Rangoon means the complete destruction of the 15th Army. You and I are both shames to the Imperial Japanese Army." Kawabe Masamitsu could not accept this reality and absolutely could not retreat.

"But now we only have six squadrons left and we need to defend the entire Sunshine City, and our firepower is not as good as the enemy's. I even suspect that the Sichuan Army is behind them. Otherwise, why would a group of natives have such strong combat effectiveness?" Yahara Hiromichi persuaded again.

"Let the 55th Division immediately dispatch one regiment, not two regiments, by train south to support Rangoon as quickly as possible." Kawabe Masamitsu still disagreed to retreat, and ultimately chose to have the 55th Division split its forces and head south to reinforce.

Hearing this, Yahara Hiromichi did not refute. At present, it would not be a problem to defend Yangon for three to five days. With the speed of the train, it would take at most one day to arrive. By then, they could attack from both sides and the crisis in Yangon would naturally be resolved.

The only thing we have to do is to hold on for these few days. We must not lose Yangon, otherwise the support from the south will become a joke.

"Commander, I suggest that we should ask for the help of the navy. Let them take off fighter planes at daybreak and bomb the defenders of the airport. See if we can recapture the airport. There are still dozens of fighter planes there." Yahara Hiromichi's words made Kawabe Masamitsu look extremely ugly.
