Han Xing was overjoyed, while Xu Da was hiding his identity, Zhang Weihan still focused on the overall situation, thinking that Xu Da should serve as the deputy commander and agreed with his own opinion. Han Xing also hurriedly said: "I agree with Commander Zhang's opinion, if there is no support from the air force, the southern expedition is just empty words. ”

At this time, it's up to Fan Zhuxian. Fan Zhu thought for a while and said, "I agree with the two of you!" I mean, I'd better step down and you guys go up in front. My mind is too old to keep up with the course of this war, after all. ”

Han Xing couldn't help but feel deep admiration for General Fan's modesty, and hurriedly said: "That's not good, you are the soul of our army, if you are not here, our command will not work." In order to win the war, you have to work hard and persevere to the end! ”

Zhang Weihan also said: "Now the factions in the army are complicated, you can only bring the military spirit together, if you retreat, the military spirit may be scattered." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Fan Changxian nodded first and said, "Okay, I'll stand up for a while." Xu Da's matter was decided in this way, and he was immediately notified to come to the meeting. ”

In fact, Xu Da was not far away, and the army battle to defend the airport had already begun, and Xu Da had to cooperate with the infantry at all times.

The gunfire on the tarmac became tighter and tighter, and the shouts of killing were heard one after another.

Fan Zhu first said to Xu Da straight to the point: "Division Commander Xu, I have wronged you, you are now the deputy commander of our Southern Expeditionary Army, as long as it is a decision of the Southern Expeditionary Army, you have the right to mention and veto." After our southern expedition is over, there must still be reuse. ”

Xu Da smiled and said, "I'm not interested in this deputy commander, I still say the same thing, on the order of Commander Sun, I came to listen to Han Xing's command." Han Xing said that I will do what I want. ”

Han Xing smiled and said to Xu Da: "Division Commander Xu is really humble, as soon as you came, you defeated a squadron of the Japanese Air Force, and the fight was too wonderful." Now that the Japanese army is attacking again, can it cooperate with us and support our infantry? ”

Xu laughed: "What are you here for, you are here to fight." Well, our equipment has just been unloaded, so let's ask the little devil to taste our iron steamed buns! However, since I was asked to be the deputy commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, I still have to say something. ”

"Do you have something to say?" Fan Zhuxian heard Xu Da want to speak, and thought that as the deputy commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, he led an air force, presumably it was also golden, no nonsense.

Xu Da never got off the plane, he was observing the shape of the airport, and after getting off the plane, he was carefully thinking about the security work of the airport. According to modern military views, the defense of an airfield is really like a piece of tissue paper, which can be broken at the first poke, and it is as dangerous as an egg, and it may collapse at any time.

In particular, he had seen the rout and misery of the entire air defense position, which was almost completely wiped out on the position, the remains of the soldiers, and the broken parts of heavy machine guns were thrown everywhere, and these did not have time to be cleaned up.

"Commander Fan, if the Japanese planes attack again, are there any other measures?" Xu Da asked.

"This is exactly what I am worried about, the heavy machine gun battalion is gone, a new one has not yet been established, and if the enemy planes come to attack again, the consequences will be unimaginable." Fan Zhuxian said.

"Is it up to our Air Force to take over your army's airfield defense first?"

"Okay!" This is exactly what Fan Zhu couldn't ask for first, if the enemy plane comes again, the airport will be finished. When the airfield is over, the efforts made in the entire first phase will be nullified, and of course, the second phase of the campaign will not be mentioned.

Zhang Weihan is still suspicious in his heart, the air force's airport defense, except for plane-to-plane, can only be anti-aircraft guns, but the air force anti-aircraft guns have not yet been seen! In particular, we should be vigilant that Xu Da is the Kuomintang's air force, and if they are all taken over the air defense, if they turn against the water, they will not have a head at all.

But now, only dead horses can be used as live horse doctors.

Han Xing's heart was very happy, the modern air force has a way to deal with the little devil's plane, let the scientific military force show the power of modernization!

The battle was raging, and there was no time to say some useless nonsense, so Xu Da hurriedly arranged artillery support and arranged air defense forces on the ground.

The air battle just now, Captain Kono has already seen it, and this air battle is also terrifying for Kono, and it can be said that it is divided into several levels.

Coming up first, Kono was gloating about the disaster, and wanted to see how the Japanese air force slaughtered the Chinese infantry. Unexpectedly, in the first round of air raids, the Japanese army lost two fighters, which made Kono's heart very unhappy, and he couldn't help but scold: "Stupid! Stupidity! It's so stupid, how could a Japanese fighter plane run into the air defense position of the Chinese army and hit the muzzle of the Chinese heavy machine gun, which is tantamount to suicide. ”

Then the Japanese air force adopted a new tactic, evading the range of heavy machine guns and dropping aerial bombs, as a result of which the Chinese air defense positions were blown to the ground. This made Kono's heart feel a great joy: "Yo Xi! Yo West! This is the Japanese air force, this is really the soldier of the Japanese Emperor, I am so happy, I am so happy. If this fight continues, this airfield will not be at your fingertips. ”

Just when Kono was crazy and happy, something unexpected happened, and the Japanese fighters fell from the sky one after another without an opponent, and some of them were quite miserable, and they were so beaten that they exploded and fell to pieces.

"What's going on, I didn't see the Chinese plane, and it didn't seem to be fired by anti-aircraft guns. If it's an anti-aircraft gun, what a fuss it must be! ”

In the end, Kono took a closer look and realized that it was a small rocket that was burning behind its tail that caught up with the Japanese fighter from behind or from the side, and died with the fighter. "What is this? What is this secret weapon? And it will also turn...... It's terrible, these little rockets that are blazing are terrible, they are a big killer of airplanes! ”

In the end, the last thing Kono wanted was that some Chinese planes landed on the airfield, not only fighter jets, but also transport planes. After the planes landed safely from the central runway, they were driven back onto the tarmac.

The most incredible thing about Kono is that these Chinese fighters are so large that they don't seem to have a propeller at all, what kind of plane is this, without a propeller, how do they take off?

Kono didn't know how deep the technological gap between the plane's four-stroke engine and the jet engine was.

Kono's mood couldn't help but be extremely lost and excited, if we recaptured our original planes, then I would have made a great achievement, and if I took these latest fighters of the Chinese army, then I would have made an immortal achievement.

How could this great credit fall on my head?

However, it seems that the aviation force cannot be counted on, and can only count on our army, so Kono drew his polished command knife and shouted: "Target, helipad, infantry artillery suppressive bombardment - bombard me for a while." The 1st Squadron, the 2nd Squadron, prepare for the attack, try to take the tarmac in one fell swoop, and recapture our planes, as well as the planes of the Chinese army-"

In addition to the establishment of four infantry squadrons, the Kono Brigade also has a machine gun squadron, this machine gun squadron has 174 people, and it is subordinate to three platoons, each platoon is equipped with 4 heavy machine guns, and the whole squadron has a total of 12 heavy machine guns. In addition to the heavy machine gun squadron, the Kono Brigade also had a 55-man gun platoon armed with two 70mm Type 92 infantry guns.

Relying on these advanced weapons and the excellent quality of the Japanese soldiers, Kono is still quite confident, as long as the blade is pointing, it is really a victory in battle, and there is no reason not to win.

In addition to assault rifles, each squad is equipped with a new Type 81 7.62 mm machine gun from the arsenal, each company is equipped with three Type 89 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and each battalion is equipped with a mortar platoon and 10 mortars.

But when it comes to heavy weapons, there is no more direct battalion, and the most powerful thing is mortars. Besides, the troops guarding the tarmac are about 300 people, and the 1,000 people in an integrated brigade with 300 people to deal with the devils are obviously too disparity.

The headquarters saw that the main target of the devil's attack was the tarmac, and knew that the battalion directly under it was also difficult to resist, so it ordered a regiment to reinforce quickly. A regiment came, that is, more than a thousand people, and in terms of numbers, our army still did not have much advantage. What's especially terrible is that the devil's infantry artillery exerted great power, firing a continuous stream of shells, suppressing the mortars at once.

Mortars are still little brothers compared to infantry artillery!

When it comes to fortifications, due to the urgency of time, there is no time to dig trenches that are too deep, so they can only be put on flat ground and filled with some loess in earthen cloth bags, which are counted as temporary fortifications, and with such fortifications, they naturally cannot withstand the bombardment of infantry artillery. Under the continuous blows, these improvised fortifications collapsed, collapsed, and were blown up in a mess, and the number of wounded continued to increase.

But the Japanese infantry artillery just didn't bomb planes, they still dreamed that these planes must not bomb, this is our aircraft of the Japanese Empire. As for the planes of the Chinese soldiers who have just landed, they cannot be bombed, they are about to become the planes of our Imperial Japan.

The infantry squadron of the Kono Brigade had already launched a charge just now, but as soon as it rushed to the front of the position on the tarmac, it was hit by mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and assault rifles of the Chinese army, and did not take much advantage, so it changed its tactics, first using superior artillery fire to destroy our army's position in one fell swoop, and also striving to occupy a big psychological advantage, and then began the next round of infantry charge.

Under the skillful command of Xu Da, a howitzer battery with six 122-mm howitzers was quickly unloaded from the Y-8-transport aircraft. The first order issued by Xu Da to Zhang Dafa's company commander was: "Quickly put up the artillery, bombard the cannons of the little devils, and destroy their artillery first." ”

After Zhang Dafa received the order, he didn't dare to slack off, and he was a little excited, the original artillery was all exercises, exercises, when did you encounter a real war. A soldier is born for war, and if there is no war, this soldier is really a bit of a loss.

Pulled by a tractor car, the howitzer battery quickly occupied a flat area (the airfield terrain is good, there are flat ground everywhere). The artillery almost omitted aiming, the devil was in front of him, he saw everything, just shoot flat, especially those two infantry guns, and hit them.

In the first round, six 122-mm howitzer shells were fired and accurately hit the positions of the Japanese infantry guns. The parts of the infantry cannon fell in all directions, flew into the sky all at once, and then fell, I don't know where they fell.

The devil's artillery, like these parts, flew into the sky, but compared to those mechanical parts, their fate was much more tragic than theirs. The flesh torn by shrapnel was still splitting in the air, and when it fell, it was almost a pile of flesh and blood.

"Boom, boom, boom" Ten seconds later, the second round of shells arrived, but this time the shells were hitting the devil infantry. The Japanese soldiers without the slightest protection have a killing radius of up to 40 meters for howitzer shells, and howitzer shells can also pass through 200mm reinforced concrete fortifications, and explode inside the fortifications.

Think about these devil soldiers, their flesh is not much stronger than the reinforced concrete fortifications, first the flesh was torn apart by shrapnel, and then swept to an unknown place by a huge shock wave, and then the oxygen was taken away by the flaming air that swept wildly, and the scorching, suffocating air made some little devils have no signs of life.

Round after round of shells raged on the devil's position, and round after round of steel searched for the devil's life. On the position of the devils, even the loess has turned into black scorched earth, one huge crater after another, some of the devils were killed and buried, and some of the devils were buried alive before they died......
