Noto Matashiro knew that his vanguard reinforcements had been bombed, and when his follow-up troops arrived in the area around the airport, the time would definitely pass a lot.

Time is of the essence in determining the victory of this battle, and if the Xuzhou airport cannot be recaptured before the next batch of troops of the new 6th Army arrives, the whole form of the war will become more and more unfavorable to him, and Noto Matashiro understands this.

After walking around his headquarters and thinking about it repeatedly, Matashiro Noto asked in a deep voice, "Has the bomber group of the new 6th Army left?" ”

The devil Shaozuo Lizheng replied: "I have already left, and I guess I have returned." ”

Hearing this, Noto Matashiro was a little relieved, and shouted loudly: "Pass my order and order the Kono Wing to recapture Xuzhou Airport at all costs." ”

Looking at the time, Noto Matashiro continued: "Tell Kono Taro Osa, if you can't recapture Xuzhou Airport before one o'clock at noon, you will have your own seppuku." ”

Hearing this, the devil Shaozuo's heart tightened, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and it was only a little more than three hours before one o'clock in the morning.

……

Xuzhou Airport.

The fighters are clearing the airfield, clearing several runways of the airfield, clearing the tarmac of the wrecked small Japanese planes, and part of the fighters digging trenches and building fortifications on the main road leading to the airport.

The faint sound of explosions in the distance was heard by many soldiers, and it was 48 "Flying Fortress" bombers bombing the advance reinforcements of the little devils.

Time passes minute by minute.

Commander Wang of the Airborne Regiment looked at the time, and the time had passed half past ten in the morning. Estimating that a large number of small Japanese troops might be coming, Commander Wang stood on the roof of an airfield building and looked at the airfield. Quite a few soldiers were busy outside the airport.

Regiment Commander Wang did not dare to relax at all, this time he was completely deep behind enemy lines, and he was already a lone army, so he could only wait for the arrival of the next batch of planes.

"Commander, we have sent several small reconnaissance teams to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the vicinity of the airport, as long as there are small Japanese troops coming. We'll be the first to know. A major next to him reported.

Regiment Commander Wang nodded and said loudly to several commanders next to him: "Send a report to the military seat again, every ten minutes." Update on the situation. ”

A commander personally went to instruct the signal corps to send a report, and not long after, a captain ran over and reported: "Tuanzao, one of our reconnaissance teams has sent back a message. Large and small Japanese troops came along the road. It was only about thirty minutes away from us. ”

Get ready for battle!

After Commander Wang gave the battle order. Then he took out his binoculars and looked into the distance, at the end of the road at the airport, hoping to see the figure of the little Japanese troops.

Not far from here, on the road, a long small Japanese unit is on an emergency march, a dozen tricycles are opening the way, and a brigade of little devils is running forward.

Ride in the cab of a large truck. Japanese Wing Commander Taro Kono Osa had a straight face, half an hour ago. Taro Kono received the death order from the commander of his division to recapture Xuzhou Airport at all costs.

Kono Wing is the closest to Xuzhou Airport, and under normal circumstances, it takes an hour and a half to reach Xuzhou Airport in the case of a rapid march, but today, Kono Wing is much faster than usual.

Suddenly, the team stopped, and Taro Kono, who was already with a straight face, immediately asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

A devil officer immediately ran over to report and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, the road ahead is seriously damaged, and our vehicles cannot pass. ”

Hearing this, Kono Taro's face changed, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Get out of the car, run forward, hurry up!" ”

The section of the road ahead was intensively carpet-bombed by the "Flying Fortress" bombers more than half an hour ago, and the entire section of the road, at least more than two kilometers, has been completely unrecognizable, one by one big potholes, full of the corpses of little devils, and vehicles cannot pass.

Taro Kono himself got out of the car, walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Soon, the team of the little devils began to move again, and the little devils were carrying weapons and equipment, panting, and sweating profusely.

This group of little devils almost ran so much that they vomited blood, and they ran so far on a rapid march all the way, and many little devils were holding on.

The highway leads to Xuzhou Airport, close to Xuzhou Airport on both sides of the road, there are several gentle small plateaus, only one or twenty meters above the road, less than a few hundred meters in circumference, if in normal times, such terrain is inconspicuous, but today it has become a position for soldiers.

It is just a few small high grounds, where hundreds of soldiers dug trenches, set up machine guns, everyone is ready to form the first line of defense, and only two or three hundred meters behind everyone is the huge Xuzhou Airport.

Xuzhou Airport is surrounded by an open terrain, the terrain is flat, these small highlands may be the previous construction of Xuzhou Airport, the land when the excess mud and stone piled up, bare, there is not a small sapling.

Several ring fortifications, a Browning heavy machine gun, a light machine gun have been erected, some ammunition boxes have also been carried, and inside the trenches, the soldiers are holding Garland rifles and Thomson submachine guns are staring closely at the front of the road.

Behind this position, two or three hundred meters away, there are several guard towers on the periphery of Xuzhou Airport, on which machine guns are erected, and the soldiers on the guard tower are ready to provide fire support for the soldiers on this position.

Regiment Commander Wang held a telescope and looked at the position more than 300 meters in front of him, with a serious expression on his face, this was his first line of defense.

"Commander, look, the little devil has appeared."

Looking ahead with a telescope, a large number of little devils appeared at the end of the road, and when I looked at the time, it was less than 11 o'clock. The little devil is coming, and the battle is about to begin, and Commander Wang Zhilu said that he will have to support himself for at least three hours from now when the battle starts.

on the first line of defense.

The soldiers also saw the little devils running towards this side, maybe the time was urgent, and a devil Shaozuo held a command knife and commanded the little devils to launch the first round of attacks.

Seeing that many little devils were holding weapons, screaming, and running towards their positions with their legs in circles, the soldiers immediately began to shoot. At this time, the little devil was at least three hundred meters away from the soldiers' position.

"Brothers, give me a hard beating!!"

The soldiers of the airborne regiment are all selected veterans with rich combat experience, and it is impossible for everyone to put the little devils in and fight again.

"Da, da, da......"

First of all, a dense burst of machine guns rang out, light and heavy machine guns rang out together, followed by Garland rifles and Thomson submachine guns. Suddenly, dense bullets flew out, and the charging little devils fell one by one.

The little devils were not afraid of death, and rushed against the dense firepower of the soldiers, so many little devils, killing a large number of them immediately came up, and the charging little devils were getting closer and closer to the soldiers' positions.

Behind the soldiers, the machine guns on the watchtowers also rang out one after another, and with the support of the fire of these machine guns, the soldiers were able to withstand the charge of the little devils.

Kono United is on the momentum, and the first charge is full of momentum, and wave after wave of little devils are coming one after another.

Some grenadiers were erected and grenades began to be fired at the fighters' positions, and some crooked machine guns and some Type 92 heavy machine guns were also set up and fired at the fighters' positions. Fighters began to suffer casualties.

Seeing that the battle was so tragic at the beginning, Commander Wang did not dare to relax in his heart, holding his binoculars and watching the battle in front of him.

A soldier who was firing with a Browning heavy machine gun was killed, and another soldier next to him immediately made up for it, and the machine gun continued to fire.

A soldier who was lying in a trench and shooting was hit in the shoulder by a bullet, bandaged it briefly, and immediately returned to fighting.

The fierce battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the little devil launched waves of attacks, leaving behind hundreds of corpses before finally retreating.

Kono Taro blushed with an iron face, in the entire North China battlefield, large and small battles have been carried out countless times, and there has never been such an embarrassment as today. The first time he fought with the new 6th Army was a fiasco.

The little devil suffered a lot of casualties, and the hundreds of soldiers who stuck to this small position also suffered a lot of casualties, such a tragic battle, the soldiers sacrificed hundreds of people, and the little devil just attacked like crazy.

Seeing the little devils retreating, leaving a large number of corpses in front of their positions, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. The fighters treated the wounded while replenishing ammunition.

Kono Taro held the binoculars and looked at it for at least a few minutes, and saw that a large number of machine guns were deployed on the soldiers' positions, and the weapons of the fighters seemed to be semi-automatic weapons or fully automatic weapons, which were several grades better than their own Type 38 rifles.

After thinking for a long time, Kono Taro was ready to divide his troops, divide his troops into several groups, and attack Xuzhou Airport from different directions, the disadvantage of this is that the troops are scattered and may not attack enough, and the advantage is that the attack is launched at the same time, and the limited personnel of the new 6th Army are tired of defense, and it is very likely to be broken through by themselves.

There was an idea of dividing the troops in his heart, so Kono Taro gave an order from the heart, and the remaining nearly 3,000 little devils of the Kono Wing were divided into several routes, preparing to attack Xuzhou Airport from several directions.

More than a thousand imps attacking head-on, a field infantry brigade was also ready to attack the flanks of the first line of defense of the fighters.

In the face of the new tactics of the Kono Wing, will the fighters of the Airborne Regiment be able to hold on?
