The H-type 14.5mm heavy machine gun was originally used to attack fighter aircraft. However, in actual combat, the National Defense Force found that this kind of machine gun was also particularly useful for attacking tanks, fortifications, etc.

As a result, this kind of machine gun was also equipped to the Marine Corps. This heavy machine gun is not heavy, but in order to gain an advantage in firepower, the Marines had to carry it with them. Fortunately, the National Defense Research Institute in order to reduce the military

This machine gun has been specially simplified to meet the burden.

Now the J-type carried by the Marine Corps has been simplified into three parts: the gun frame, the barrel and the ammunition box. Sure enough, now this heavy machine gun has exerted its value.

"Crush, rush, rush..." After the heavy machine guns of the National Defense Forces sparked a burst of sparks from the Japanese armored vehicles, the drivers of the Japanese tanks began to charge unscrupulously, trying to break through the positions of the National Defense Forces in one go.

It's a pity that the dull bombardment that sounded again directly sent their confidence to the bottom...

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The 14.5mm caliber bullet tore through the air and easily tore the Japanese tank armor directly.

The Japanese drivers in the tanks were immediately beaten to pieces by the bullets fired. Some of the bullets hit the ammunition rack inside the tank, immediately detonating the entire tank.

Seeing this situation, the charging Japanese soldiers quickly lay down to avoid being injured by the tank fragments splashed by the explosion.

"Tu tu tu tu..." Unfortunately, their wishful thinking was immediately disillusioned. The soldiers of the National Defense Force directly lowered the muzzles of the heavy machine guns and fired a burst of fire at the Japanese crowd.

Even if a 14.5mm caliber bullet grazed the entire piece of flesh and bone, it would be shattered into pieces. Those lying down Japanese soldiers immediately became living targets.

Being swept away by the National Defense Forces, even with steel plates on their heads, they could not escape the fate of being swept into minced meat and blood...

"Red deer! Withdraw! Withdraw quickly..." The Japanese commander on the position quickly discovered the situation and roared at the top of his lungs. The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground in a daze finally waited for the order to retreat.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They crawled backwards quickly, and no one dared to get up. Because a few Japanese soldiers who tried to stand up with their waists bent were directly torn into pieces of meat and internal organs all over the floor by the machine guns.

The 14.5mm bullets rotated and tore apart their bodies without mercy, and the broken internal organs and bloody blood were scattered directly on the ground. There was no time to even scream, and there were not even complete corpses.

All that was left on the ground were broken corpses and broken internal organs sprayed everywhere. Among the broken bones, white marrow could still be seen covered in dust and mud...

"These damn National Defense Forces, where did they get these weapons?! Are all the companies in the empire just eating shit?! Why can't those idiots make some weapons that are useful to us?!"

Lieutenant General Makita Qiu in Qiongkou immediately cursed after receiving the order, and all eight tanks in the first wave of attacks were lost on the battlefield.

A squadron went up, but less than a squad came down. The losses of the National Defense Forces were unclear, and the Japanese troops had not even rushed into the attack range.

It might cause some damage to the National Defense Forces, but it would not be significant compared to the Japanese army's own losses.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Captain Arai is now calling to ask for tactical guidance. You see..." Although the adjutant did not want to get into trouble with Makita at this time, he knew that he had to speak at this time.

"Tell Arai that the position must be taken down! We must also stop the National Defense Force's attack on Lingao. Once they gain a foothold in Lingao, the entire Qiongdao will be threatened!"

"Order Qiongzhou Hengshan Brigade and Yazhou Changwei Brigade to speed up their march and must arrive outside Lingao City within today to launch an attack!" Makita punched the desk and said: "Request tactical support from the base camp and tell them

!If we don’t get support and Qiongdao is lost, then the base camp will have to bear this responsibility!”

"Hai!!" the adjutant responded quickly, then turned around and hurried down to send a telegram.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. Fishing boats slowly arrived on the beach. Groups of soldiers from the South China Military Region jumped off the boats and quickly gathered on the beach.

Chen Zhaozao's guerrillas had mobilized a large number of local people and prepared a large number of hot meals and bonfires for the National Defense Forces. At the same time, the National Defense Forces troops who came ashore and assembled quickly set up temporary tents in the designated camping areas.

"Hahaha... Xiao He, hard work! Hard work! What's going on now?!" Lu Han laughed and walked into He Wenwu's headquarters, holding He Wenwu's hand.

Wen Wu's hand asked directly.

In front of Lu Han, Lao He could only be called Xiao He. Who told him that he was neither older nor more senior than others?! Call him Xiao He, and he had to readily agree.

"Uncle Yongheng, now with the assistance of the guerrillas led by Chen Zhaozao, we have set up positions in three areas: Longbo Village, Meitai Village and Yigu Village. Among them, the Japanese support team from Qiongkou has already

We have exchanged fire with our 3rd Marine Division in Long Bo Village. So far, our unit has the absolute advantage..."

He Wenwu did not show any pretense. He took his baton and explained to Lu Han the current situation between the enemy and ourselves on the sand table.

"The Japanese garrison brigade supported by Yazhou and Qiongzhou has been discovered by our reconnaissance team. They are now about three hours away from our US, Taiwan and Yigu..."

"And the troops they supported include a regiment. At the same time, all Japanese garrison brigades in all areas of Qiongdao have begun to enter a state of combat readiness. All units have begun to assemble and may launch an attack on Lingao at any time..."

He Wenwu gave Lu Han a concise introduction to the current situation in Qiongdao. It must be said that Japan has been operating in Qiongdao for a long time. Therefore, including the establishment of troops, fortification construction and puppet troops, they are relatively different from those before.

The land area is much stronger.

After several years of operation, Japan has formed a certain inherent force in Qiongdao. If the National Defense Force had not suddenly chosen Lingaojiao as the landing port, the war might not have gone so smoothly.

"How long will it take for our troops to land and assemble?!" Lu Han frowned and looked at the situation between the enemy and ourselves on the sand table. It was not easy to deal with more than 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops with more than 30,000 marines.

Good job.

Moreover, most of the Japanese troops are equipped with heavy weapons, but the Marine Corps has no way to transport many heavy weapons because it does not have a professional transport fleet.

If we are on the beach, the navy's naval guns can still provide certain support. But after we penetrate deep into the interior of Qiongdao, the only support the navy can provide is carrier-based aircraft.

"According to the information provided by Chen Zhaozao and others, the Japanese army set up a secret airport in Linshui. However, because the location of this airport is difficult to find, they do not know the specific geographical location and situation..."

He Wenwu frowned and expressed his biggest concern: "Qiongdao is surrounded by mountains and the construction of an airport is a huge problem. When we first landed, I considered building a temporary airport for Air Force fighter planes to take off and land.

On the one hand, it transports troops, and on the other hand, it also provides support..."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must build one!" Lu Han gritted his teeth and said: "Let Chen Zhaozao find a suitable location and ask the navy's ground crew to inspect it. All our landing personnel must be mobilized to build a temporary landing within three days.

Come to the airport!”

"Yes!" He Wenwu performed a military salute and responded loudly. In fact, he also knew that the National Defense Force now needs an airport to accommodate the support force of the Air Force.

But unfortunately, the troops he had at hand were limited. He still needed to arrange three positions. There was simply no extra manpower to build the airport.

Lu Han does not have to worry about this. The troops sent by his South China Military Region this time include twelve divisions with a total of more than 150,000 troops. Two divisions have now arrived.

There were plenty of manpower. As long as Chen Zhaozao found a suitable area, these well-trained soldiers could build a temporary airport with engineering shovels and captured cement.

Soon, the ground staff on the aircraft carrier were gathered together. Some of these ground staff had participated in the Southeast Asian campaign and participated in the construction of temporary airports.

They were ordered to go to Lu Han's headquarters and obey orders.

Chen Zhaozao also hurried over with his people. Not knowing the requirements for building an airport, he had no idea how to find a suitable area to build a temporary airport.

"Xiao Chen, you're here?! It just so happens that these are our engineers. Many of them have built temporary airports in Southeast Asia. They will tell you what your requirements are!"

Lu Han saw Chen Zhaozao coming over. After saying hello, he asked the navy ground crew to make requests to him.

"Okay! Brothers from the navy, tell me!" Chen Zhaozao didn't say anything nonsense. He took out his little notebook and prepared to record the requests made by the ground crew.

Everyone knows that time is tight, and delaying it for a long time will definitely not do any good for the National Defense Forces. This battle must be resolved quickly.

"Commander Lu's request is that a transport aircraft needs to be taken off and landed. The transportation requirements are: the altitude is below 500 meters, the length is 500 meters, and the width is 40 meters. The basic requirements are: the clearance conditions must be good, the terrain must be flat, and the surface slope must be appropriate.

, the drainage and soil conditions are good, and no large amount of earthwork is required..."

 

"The seasonal constant wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, weather characteristics, and groundwater depth, grave pits, dry wells, etc. must be provided to us for calculation. The direction of the runway should avoid the east-west direction as much as possible, and

Consistent with the direction of the constant wind during the season of use..."

"The construction requirements are: the road surface must be solid, and using a motor vehicle with a total weight of five tons, after rolling it at a speed of 3-5 kilometers per hour, the depth of the wheel tracks should not exceed 2 centimeters. Smoothness: the height difference between the fluctuations within a diameter of 3 meters should not exceed

5 cm; the runway is within 250 meters, the longitudinal slope is not greater than 1.5%; the cross slope is not greater than 2%, not less than 1%..."

These navy ground crews put forward a series of requirements extremely rigorously, and Chen Zhaozao carefully wrote down all these requirements in a small notebook.

Chen Zhaozao knew that these demands were all paid back with the blood and sweat of the soldiers of the National Defense Force. Although Tu Menghu was a strong man in his previous life, he was not a know-it-all. It was impossible to know everything clearly.

Many situations now require soldiers of the National Defense Force to explore on their own. And this exploration often requires soldiers to pay the price with their own blood or even lives...

"If these are the requirements, I know there is a good place in Lingao..." After Chen Zhaozao wrote down all the requirements, he pondered for a while and said to everyone.

"Oh?! Where?! Tell me!" Seeing Chen Zhaozao thinking of the location so quickly, Lu Han and others couldn't help but be curious.

"This place is called Jialai, about 21 kilometers away from Lingao. We once passed there during our march, and I carefully observed that the terrain there is very suitable for an airport..."

Chen Zhaozao recalled it and said: "At that time, I was still thinking that it would be great to use this place as a military airport in the future. When the place develops, it would not be bad to return it to the local area as a local airport. The Lingao area is not big, and

There won’t be much demand for the airport here either…”

"Okay! Needless to say, let's take our people to see the place first. If it's suitable, start construction immediately!" Lu Han doesn't care about what happens in the future. What he wants is to build a temporary airport now.

Now that you have a predetermined location, you need to go there immediately for investigation.

"I'm afraid we have to break in first. There is a large Japanese garrison there. There are also almost two thousand puppet troops..." Chen Zhaozao nodded and said. Lu Han sneered and waved his hand.

"Thousands of people are just dwarfs, just crush them!"

Lu Han only counts the Japanese troops, not the puppet troops. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the puppet troops is just that, and they can just bully the common people. If they encounter the National Defense Forces, it will be a tragic fate.

"Tell the 18th and 25th divisions to stop repairing and set off with Xiao Chen and the others immediately! I'll give you five hours. After five hours, I must get the detailed information from home!"

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded, and then went down to deliver the order.

The two Marine Divisions of the South China Military Region that had just landed on the beach immediately stopped their repairs after receiving the order. The entire army gathered and marched towards their home 21 kilometers away with Chen Zhaozao who came over.

A brigade was only a Japanese garrison of more than a thousand people. Faced with an attack by the National Defense Forces of more than 20,000 people, the consequences can be imagined. The battle ended in less than twenty minutes in the dark.

But the time spent on the march took a full four hours. The soldiers of the South China Military Region were so exhausted that they came by boat and only repaired for less than an hour before immediately entering the forced march.

But even so, breaking the Japanese position was nothing more than a piece of cake for them.

"Your Excellency, Commander! Jialai was attacked by the National Defense Forces. After the garrison captain, Major Tashiro, sent a farewell message, there has been no news..."

After hearing the news, Qiongkou and Makita were immediately struck by thunder! He suddenly slumped down on the chair and murmured to himself: "It's over..."

It was indeed over. The Japanese army came to build a secret airport at home. This airport had just been built and was originally intended to support the possible landing battle of the National Defense Forces in Qiongkou, but now...
To be continued...
