Chapter 299 Bombing the Japanese Airport
When Bai Luo arrived at Zhang Qing's house, it was already 1:15 a.m.
"Uncle Zhang, is there any news?"
As soon as Bai Luo entered the room, he asked Zhang Qing.
Not yet. What about yours?
Zhang Qing saw Bai Luo jump over the wall and into the room.
He shook his head helplessly.
She got up, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Bai Luo, who had just entered the room.
Bai Luo didn't stand on ceremony and took the water glass, downing it in one gulp.
Bai Luo placed the empty cup on the table in front of Zhang Qing and then spoke.
"I got some information from the platoon leader that Gouwa mentioned, that the Japanese might have ambushed a branch of the Japanese army around the headquarters."
Uncle Zhang, these actions of the Japanese soldiers give me the feeling that they're setting a trap.
Upon hearing Bai Luo's words, Zhang Qing seemed to realize something, and then kept his eyes fixed on Bai Luo.
"Xiao Luo, I have a guess, but I don't know if it's right."
"Uncle Zhang, what do you say?"
Bai Luo looked up at Zhang Qing, appearing fully attentive.
Seeing that Bai Luo's gaze had turned to him, Zhang Qing didn't waste any words and spoke directly.
"Do you think the Japanese are setting a trap for you? Otherwise, I really can't think of anyone else in Ershi who would be worthy of such a elaborate scheme by the Japanese."
Bai Luo was taken aback upon hearing this.
"The Japanese Special Higher Police were arresting Communists..."
Before Bai Luo could finish speaking, she understood what Zhang Qing meant.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Luo's mind was opened up.
"Uncle Zhang, are you saying the Japanese soldiers mistook me for a Communist?"
Zhang Qing smiled without saying a word and nodded to Bai Luo.
If Zhang Qing thought this way, Bai Luo felt that it was very likely that the Japanese had set a trap for him.
Seeing that Bai Luo had figured it out, Zhang Qing added.
"I even suspect that the Japanese poison gas bombs were fake, just to lure you in."
Hearing this, Bai Luo increasingly felt that Zhang Qing's words made sense.
At this point, Bai Luo couldn't sit still any longer, and he decided to go to the Japanese headquarters himself to investigate.
After greeting Zhang Qing, Bai Luo took a shortcut and climbed over the wall of Zhang Qing's house.
Zhang Qing's residence was quite close to the Japanese headquarters.
Less than 10 minutes.
Bai Luo discovered the troops that Zhang Quan had secretly mobilized, which were still six or seven kilometers away from the Japanese headquarters.
However, according to the monitoring radar, the Japanese markings here indicate the number of soldiers in approximately one Japanese infantry battalion.
Bai Luo believed that this Japanese infantry battalion must be the garrison that Zhang Quan had mentioned, hidden near the headquarters.
But as Bai Luo got closer to the Japanese headquarters, he realized that there was more than one Japanese battalion around it.
There were three Japanese troops hiding there, and Bai Luo went to observe them up close.
There were a total of two Japanese battalions and one reinforced artillery company.
Two of the Japanese infantry battalions were positioned to form a triangle with the Japanese headquarters.
Moreover, the distance is very close.
As soon as the headquarters is attacked, two Japanese battalions will surround it within 5 minutes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the new Japanese commander thinks quite highly of me."
Seeing that the Japanese had set up such a big trap for him, Bai Luo couldn't help but click his tongue a few times.
He thought to himself, since the Japanese have already set up their positions, why should I go and do anything?
Moreover, there are quite a few people living in the surrounding area.
Bai Luo decided to stick to the original plan: you can stay put, I'll do my thing.
Thinking of this, Bai Luo abandoned Zhang Qing's place and headed straight for the Japanese airport.
At the same time, I also called Sha Niu and Qin Lan through the communication bracelet.
Because the Japanese airfield was located in a valley about 10 kilometers northeast of Ershi, a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This information was provided by Zhang Qing, but it didn't include details about the specific defenses at the airport or the number of Japanese planes.
Because of the airport's terrain and defenses, Zhang Qing's men couldn't get close at all.
Because the Japanese built this airport in a very cunning way, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains were quite steep. Even if the invaders managed to climb up the cliff, they would still be met with a dense minefield laid out in the woods.
Therefore, Zhang Qing never had the opportunity to find out the situation inside the Japanese airport.
2:30 am.
Bai Luo and the silly girl Qin Lan met up two kilometers outside the valley of the Japanese airport.
"Child? How do I hit him?"
Upon meeting, Qin Lan excitedly asked...
She was also holding a Japanese Type 38 rifle in her hand.
Bai Luo looked at the Japanese Type 38 rifle in her hand and was speechless.
Bai Luo had already set up a small warehouse near the cave, and Qin Lan didn't even know to change her gun.
This gun doesn't have a silencer.
"Qin Lan, why are you carrying a Type 38 rifle?"
Bai Luo couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you tell me to practice my marksmanship with this gun? I've been practicing with this gun all day, and I feel like my skills are terrifyingly good now."
Qin Lan held up the Type 38 rifle in her hand and said confidently.
Bai Luo chuckled twice upon hearing this, then rolled her eyes.
Bai Luo didn't believe that.
After telling Qin Lan not to fire the gun recklessly.
Bai Luo then led the two of them toward the southern cliff that was closest to them.
The cliff is about 15 meters high, and there are signs that it was damaged by the Japanese. Although it is not high, it is unusually steep, almost 90 degrees.
However, this height is not suitable for three abnormal people.
It's not difficult at all.
In less than 3 minutes, the three of them had reached the top of the cliff.
After the three of them came up, Bai Luo grabbed Qin Lan, who was about to enter the woods.
"You two will follow in my footsteps later. This forest is full of landmines planted by the Japanese."
Upon hearing Bai Luo's words, Qin Lan immediately and sheepishly withdrew her foot, which had been hovering in mid-air.
Then he shrank behind Bai Luo, signaling that Bai Luo could begin to move forward.
After Bai Luo saw that the two were ready, he led them into the minefield set up by the Japanese.
Using his danger perception skill, Bai Luo quickly led the two to the side where the Japanese airfield was hidden.
At this moment, Bai Luo and his two companions were lying under a large tree, observing the situation of the airport in the valley below.
Bai Luo held up his night-vision binoculars and roughly surveyed the area around the airport.
The Japanese airport had three runways, all of which were built facing north and south.
The airport below the valley is surrounded by barbed wire, and the only entrance to the valley is to the southwest of the airport.
There was a watchtower at the main gate, and below the watchtower was a Japanese machine gun emplacement.
Although the Japanese had many runways, the airport itself wasn't very large; the longest of the three runways was only about 400 meters.
The valley's overall width does not exceed 300 meters.
Moreover, there aren't many planes here, only about 30, and most of them are Japanese fighter jets.
The total number of bombers and reconnaissance aircraft combined is less than 10.
Most of the Japanese barracks were built next to the westernmost runway.
It was not far from the only entrance to the valley.
Bai Luo used the detection radar in his mind to see that there weren't many Japanese soldiers guarding this place, only about 600.
This includes the number of Japanese pilots and their logistics personnel.
This disappointed Bai Luo a bit. He thought there would be many airplanes here, but there were only a few dozen birds. But since he was already here, he decided to stay.
No matter how big or small this Japanese airport is, Bai Luo will definitely take it down tonight.
Just as Bai Luo was pondering his action plan, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the Japanese airfield below.
The sudden alarm startled Bai Luo and the other two.
We've been exposed?
Upon hearing the piercing alarm from the Japanese airport below, Qin Lan immediately turned to Bai Luo and asked.
At the same time, he took the Type 38 rifle off his shoulder.
Bai Luo replied without turning his head after hearing Qin Lan's words.
"It doesn't seem like it. Don't fire it accidentally. Let's see what the Japanese are up to first."
While answering Qin Lan's question, Bai Luo held up his night-vision binoculars and carefully observed the movements of the Japanese soldiers below.
