Searchlights are a very annoying thing. They are arranged on the tops of two-story buildings, and there is also a nine-two-heavy machine gun arranged together with the searchlights.

At the pre-war arrangement meeting, the combat staff proposed a plan that the commando first killed the Japanese sentinels and heavy machine guns, and then attacked the Japanese barracks, but this plan was denied by the company commanders participating in the war from the beginning.

These officers with rich practical experience agreed that because this was a sneak attack battle, the situation at the scene could not be as expected by the staff. Because as long as the battle begins, any firepower point of the Japanese army is the target of the attack, and the order of the attack is a pedantic approach. In the end, this combat plan was changed to: after the troops successfully entered the airport, each assault squad will attack the predetermined targets by themselves according to the predetermined area.

The mission of the Fifth Company was to attack a barracks of the Japanese. There were guards around the airport, and there were searchlight squads inside to guard the whole night. Perhaps the group of Japanese thought they could rest assured, but they did not send anyone to stand guard outside the barracks. Taking advantage of the searchlights back and forth, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Company quietly moved to about twenty meters away from the Japanese barracks with the help of the terrain and buildings.

At this moment, the Japanese heavy machine gun fired. It turned out that the Japanese searchlight finally found that the National Army was operating in the airport. The Japanese sentry also reacted in time, and gunfire sounds in the airport for a moment.

The gunshot is an order! Li Qinglin shouted: "Brothers, kill me!"

All the troops had moved to the nearest place of the enemy, and there was no need to hide it anymore. They all stood up, rushed towards the enemy with guns and grenades.

The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Company quickly rushed to the front of the Japanese barracks. The soldiers kicked open the door. They didn't care whether there was anyone inside, and threw a few grenades in.

Other troops also handled this. Grenades were exploding everywhere in the airport. The Japanese searchlights had been destroyed by the National Army sharpshooters who had been prepared, because there were explosions everywhere and there were shouts of killing from the National Army everywhere. Some Japanese who reacted began to fight back, but these people couldn't figure out how many National Army soldiers had arrived. They were just holding guns and firing randomly into the darkness.

The role of the commando is only to open the defense line of the airport. As for eliminating the enemy, it is not their focus. Their attacks everywhere are to disrupt the enemy's sight, and ultimately give the subsequent arson teams to create time for arson.

Just as the gunfire sounded, some members of the arson team had approached more than a dozen planes parked on the simple airport, and another group of people also found the Japanese oil depot and ammunition depot. Each of these arson team members carried several bottles of kerosene on their bodies. After rushing over, they immediately sprinkled kerosene on the plane and set fire to the oil depot and ammunition depot.

Fire takes advantage of the wind, and the wind helps the fire power! Airplanes were lit, and ammunition depots and oil depots were also lit. In a moment, the fire soared into the sky. The bombs and oil barrels were detonated by the fire, and huge explosions kept ringing.

The Japanese defenders were suppressed by the firepower of the attack team and did not dare to come out to put out the fire. The Japanese in Handan City did not know how many troops came to the airport, and they did not dare to go out to rescue them. They just shot guns and cannons in the direction of the airport in the city.

In less than half an hour, the purpose of the 52nd Army commando had been achieved. Battalion Commander Liang Zhiwei gave an order: "Retreat!"

The order to retreat was issued at once. The teams followed the pre-war plan and covered each other. The troops safely withdrew from the airport along the path they came.

Although the members of these commando and fire prevention teams spent a short time in the airport, none of them was wasting this good opportunity to make money. Everyone was carrying spoils in their arms and carrying seized weapons and equipment on their shoulders. What's even more exaggerated is that when Xiao Liuzi passed by the "dog" Japanese corpse, he wanted to take it away.

Li Qinglin did not agree with his approach. Xiao Liuzi seemed very sorry and said, "The Japanese are so fat. This is the fattest dog I have ever seen. It's such a pity."

Seeing that in addition to his own weapons, Li Qinglin also brought fifty or sixty pounds of seizure, he laughed and said, "Isn't it just a dog? I'll just spend money to buy dog ​​meat when I go back."

It’s a pity that Li Qinglin’s words are now in the fifth company, so Xiao Liuzi had to give up this big piece of good meat.

When the explosion sounded at the airport, the people around were awakened long ago, and they stood in front of the door to watch the fun. The Kuomintang army lined up and passed by the road in front of the door, and everyone returned with a full load, obviously winning the battle.

The Kuomintang army has always said that the War of Resistance to the end, but since the War of Resistance to the fullest, the Kuomintang army has been defeated everywhere. In the eyes of the people, they retreated to the end. Now this team dares to go north and successfully attack the airport at night. This victory greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the people. They spontaneously helped the Kuomintang army carry the wounded soldiers, carry the seized materials, and sent this small army of the Kuomintang army one after another.

During the return trip, Li Qinglin counted the number of people in the fifth company, and this time one died and three were injured. The soldiers who died in battle had to stay at the airport because they could not bring them back. Three people were injured, two of them were slightly injured and one was seriously injured. The one who was seriously injured was injured by the Japanese 92nd Heavy Machine Gun stray bullet. The bullet hit his chest. He has been unconscious until now. It seems that there is a lot of danger now.

The three minor injuries were not a big problem. After applying medicine and bandaging it, it would be fine if you rest for a while. Li Qinglin calculated it with a finger. There were only 42 people left in the fifth company to fight. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Japanese plane was bombed, and there was naturally no harassment from Japanese reconnaissance aircraft bombers in the sky. The Japanese ground troops were also confused after being attacked, so they did not send troops to pursue them. On the morning of November 15, the commando of the 25th Division returned to the headquarters of the 25th Division in a swaggering manner.

The commando carried a radio station with him, and when the sneak attack was successful, it reported to the Cicada Division headquarters, so the commando was welcomed the warmest when it came back. The soldiers of the 25th Division on both sides of the road lined up in an orderly manner, and they respected the solemn military salute and paid their highest respect to the warriors who had made great contributions.

The wounded were immediately sent to the division headquarters hospital for treatment, and the others were arranged to go to a special barracks to rest. The division placed various seized weapons and supplies in a pile, and other officers and soldiers lined up to visit.

After lunch in the afternoon, all the commando members gathered in the open space in front of the division headquarters. The division commander Zhang Yaoming gave a speech and announced the commendation order of Cheng Qian, commander of the War Zone I.

The teacher Zhang Yaoming is from Zhangjiazhuang, Lintong, Shaanxi. He is a graduate of the first class of Huangpu with Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming. He is strong and has a national face.

Zhang Yaoming, standing on the stage, spoke Shaanxi dialect. He highly praised the courage and patriotism of the commando officers and soldiers, and pointed out that this successful night attack on the enemy airport not only destroyed the enemy's planes, but also greatly encouraged the national army on the front line. Finally, he hoped that everyone would continue to work hard in the future and drive the Japanese invaders out of China with a hundred times sacrifice.

Then he read out the commendation order from Cheng Qian, commander of the First War Zone. During the commendation order, Liang Zhiwei was promoted to colonel commander, and all the other officers and soldiers participating in the battle were given bonuses.

After announcing the commendation order for the First War Zone, Zhang Yaoming then announced the commendation order for the 52nd Army and the 25th Division, which announced that all officers and soldiers participating in the war would be promoted to one level.

The commendation order was announced and the commandos left. The commandos who had won the battle naturally had to drink the celebration wine. The soldiers who had died of life were all drunk. Many of them were drunk that night.
