Chapter 428 Moth (Part 1)

(...I once awarded a medal to a veteran who survived various suicide squads eight times. He told me that he actually joined the suicide squad to die in battle. I don’t know why he always wanted to die in a battle and never live such a trench life like a hell, but he never died; his words reminded me of myself in Shanghai... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

It seems that in addition to the urgently needed arms, food is also a big problem. Cao Xiaomin, who visited the arsenal, decided to add rice, flour, lard, etc. to the procurement list discussed with the British today.

With Li Chenggan's plan, Cao Xiaomin and He Yingqin went to see what Zhou Zhirou's Air Force procurement plan was written before they could rest. But as soon as they arrived outside the office building, they felt that the atmosphere was different: this hour should not be so lively, it was not lively, it was excitement, and everyone seemed to be excited!

"Li Tianhao's troops successfully implemented the "Moth" plan in Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi and other places in the early morning, and carried out a comprehensive attack on the Japanese airports in the two places, with brilliant results..." Cao Xiaomin just entered the house and Zhou Zhirou came up to him and read a front-line report to him.

"Now my heart was finally let go. I probably don't have to worry about the Japanese sending a large number of fighter planes to force me to fight to the death..." Zhou Zhiju said: "The real god of the northern Su troops of Liehou can actually attack twenty-four airports in many places on the same night. It's incredible..."

The raid on the Japanese airports in the Jiangnan area and large-scale destruction of the Japanese air force was an order issued by Cao Xiaomin to Li Tianhao's troops yesterday, and it was an action that Li Tianhao's troops had been planning!

Because it is separated from the Japanese army, the Kuomintang-controlled area in northern Jiangsu has always been the hardest hit area for the Japanese air strikes, including Li Tianhao's command center, which had to change places every day to avoid the Japanese air strikes. Li Tianhao's hatred for the Japanese air force is stronger than anyone else. This time he transported three regiments to Jiangnan, which was to break the Japanese air base in the Jiangnan area early in the morning!

The "Moth" operation is a long-planned action by Li Tianhao, and the time of the operation was set as soon as the troops crossed the river smoothly. Of course, there is a reason for the launch at this time. By chance, it can only be the opportunity on this night...

The main person in charge of this attack was the backbone of the troops. For example, the "Dog Nose" who was once a Nanjing policeman was responsible for the raid command of the airport in Nanjing, while the field airport outside the city was the chief of staff of the military department, Lao Cai; Zhang Jingyue actually went to Shanghai to command the raid at Gongda Airport and Wangbin Airport; Liang Xiaokuan, who was familiar with Wuxi, went to Wuxi... Experienced operation commanders actually went to the front line behind enemy lines to command the battle just for "moths"!

The plan is called "Moth", which means moths to the flames. Obviously, the multiple-way raid troops in this plan have no chance to escape. They only have one mission and the last mission in their lives: raid the airport and blow up the Japanese planes, and then become martyrs admired by future generations!

Li Tianhao is ruthless in his military use, and he has always been more ruthless than Cao Xiaomin. His subordinates have experienced many mass suicide attacks and have long developed a temperament of indifference to life. They usually look lazy, but as long as they say they are going to die, they will not shrink. They only need to attack decisively as long as Li Tianhao says!

Most of the people involved in the "Moth" operation were Li Tianhao's oldest subordinates, those who were brought out from Quanjiao. Let such backbone troops go to the fortitude, which shows the degree of hatred of Li Tianhao towards the Japanese Air Force, but it can also be seen how strong the army in northern Jiangsu is: even if these troops are completely destroyed, Li Tianhao is not worried that it will hurt his vitality!

The troops of the three regiments allocated their respective attack targets in companies. All companies only knew their own tasks but did not know that others were actually carrying out similar combat tasks. They all prepared the Royal Army uniforms and Japanese military uniforms of the Nanjing pseudo-government, and their uniforms were prepared with the same number as the Japanese or Imperial Army in the corresponding areas.

The troops' infiltration went smoothly, and with the secret cooperation of Wang Hansheng, they all had real passes. When they pretended to go to various places to clear out the Imperial Army troops of the New Fourth Army, and carried the bodies of the real New Fourth Army officers and soldiers and crossed the most tight frontier blockade line, everything became simple, and the defense behind the enemy was not tight.

The equipment of the attacking troops was not good, and it could even be said to be very poor. They basically had no heavy weapons, and the one used to bomb the plane was grenades. When the troops carrying out the mission set off with such equipment, basically the officers and soldiers involved understood that this was the last time they had fought for this country...

Nanjing, I'm back! When the "Dog Nose" brought his men into Nanjing with a bunch of New Fourth Army corpses, he looked at Yifeng Gate and Bazi Mountain... "Brothers, serve the country with loyalty!" "Loyalty to serve the country!" "Loyalty to serve the country with cold nights." It seemed that the shouts that rang through Bazi Mountain again. Led by the presbyterians with a bloated figure, more than 400 policemen overcame the fear of death with their love for this city and blood. But now, only one of them is left!

"Dog Nose" always felt like crying. He wanted to shout to Bazi Mountain: "Brothers, I'm back!..." After today's action, will I meet with my old brothers in Quantai? I never thought about death. He thought it was just that he met his brothers again. Since he accepted the task to become a "moth", "Dog Nose" never thought of going back alive; none of the brothers he brought with him hoped to go back alive, but they were really not afraid, because they had so many brothers who could be reunited in another world!

"When you lurk, wait for the attack signal. Someone will take action before you. After the big explosion or other special signal occurs, you pretend to be the Japanese troops stationed nearby to rush to support the airport. The rest is a decisive attack. If there is a lifeless attack, you must blow up as many Japanese planes as possible!..." Li Tianhao explained the task to them, including the "dog nose" who was responsible for the attack in the airport in Nanjing. He himself did not know who was the first to launch the attack. He only knew that someone was acting in front of him.

Someone can sneak into the Japanese airport before their troops? Who has such great magical powers? Is it an agent? It should be... "Dog Nose" observes the Japanese police all the way. Although it is far from being strict as expected, it is not easy to get through; perhaps only the best agents can go inside to pick them up first.

Lurking near the airport, the soldiers began to prepare for battle. At this time, they changed into Japanese uniforms and began to process seven cluster grenades (the standard cluster method for German wooden handle grenades is seven cluster grenades. Six grenades around the outside can spin down the wooden handle and reduce weight, and only one in the middle is detonated. Such cluster grenades are very powerful, they can blow up tanks and permanent fortifications, and are also a weapon in the battle of **.). The Japanese backpacks are very suitable for installing such cluster grenades. They can put down two bundles outside but look like they are loaded with some ordinary daily necessities.

"Captain, I didn't expect you to be the captain. In fact, I'll be here this time, you don't have to come..." The deputy captain of the action team, "Six Roots Not Clean", came to say goodbye to "Dog Nose", and his people were going to another airport.

"Six Roots Uncleared" turned out to be a monk from a temple outside Nanjing City. Because the abbot helped Cao Xiaomin cross the river and sent them all to Cao Xiaomin's army to pick up food and then join the army. When he killed the first Japanese devil on the battlefield, he found that he had no compassion, so he said that he was actually not pure in six senses. So everyone called him "Six Roots Uncleared" or "Six Roots Master".

"Thinking about my brothers, more than 400 people, all of them died in the battle of Bazi Mountain..." "Dog Nose" said: "I dreamed that they had been laughing at me several times, and they were laughing at me, saying why I was here alone... I don't know why, when I heard that I was going to fight back to Nanjing, I couldn't help but come. I wanted to see Bazi Mountain, and I wanted to see where the brothers died in their country..."

"So too, I put on my military uniform and killed more people, but for some reason I always dreamed of the abbot." "The six senses are not pure" said: "The abbot did not blame me or praise me, and he was still as silent as before. I just wanted to come back to see the small temple, but unfortunately I didn't pass there today..."

"I don't think as much as you think about you, but... You said we are spinning in the trenches every day, when will it be the end!" The captain of the third team also spoke up: "Anyway, it's a death sooner or later. I don't care about living more or less for a day or a day. Such a big action is destined to be remembered forever regardless of success or failure. Then come on, it's much better than dying inexplicably in the enemy's airstrike like a few old guys..."

"Looking for Death" is the fifth time that he participated in the special operation. He became a famous person in the army who was not afraid of death by escaping from death, and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a company commander. Today he came again, just like his nickname, and he came again to "Looking for Death".

The teams left one after another, and the "Dog Nose" team had prepared all the preparations for the attack, waiting for the attack that Li Tianhao told them as a signal to begin.

There are different reasons for joining the suicide squad. Some people may just be because this is a mission; but everyone here is really not afraid of death or subconsciously hopes to die in the battle. The war has only been fought for a year, but for people who have been fighting in the front line trenches for a long time, it has been too long.

The fire has not yet started, but the "moth" is ready...
