Chapter 286: Desperate Survival
The commander of the brigade of the 110th division, Major General Takeo Nakamura, sat in the cab of a large truck with a calm face, holding his command knife.
The Kono Wing is a subordinate wing of the Nakamura Brigade, and Kono Taro is also a direct subordinate of Nakamura Takeo, and even Nakamura Takeo's right-hand man. Seeing that the Kono Wing could not take Xuzhou Airport for a long time, Takeo Nakamura personally came over with more than 2,000 horses and a field artillery brigade.
Takeo Nakamura is ready to completely destroy the Xuzhou airfield, which has been reported to the commander of the 110th Division, Noto Matashiro, who agreed. At the beginning, when he heard this idea of Takeo Nakamura, Noto Matashiro's eyes lit up and secretly praised it. Once the Xuzhou airfield was destroyed, the planes of the new 6th Army could not land.
For the 110th Division, the Xuzhou airfield was destroyed today, and it can be rebuilt in the future, and the impact is not great. The commander of the 110th Division, Matahiro Noto, happily approved, so Takeo Nakamura rushed over with heavy troops and heavy artillery as fast as he could.
Takeo Nakamura came over in person, but he didn't want to watch Taro Kono's seppuku. Takeo Nakamura is here to help Taro Kono, once he successfully destroys Xuzhou Airport, all the battle situation will be in control, and Taro Kono naturally does not need to cut his stomach.
The long Japanese procession made a sharp march towards the airfield and crossed the same stretch of road that had been blown up by the Flying Fortress bombers a few hours earlier.
This stretch of road, which is full of potholes, has been simply repaired in a short period of time, and the big trucks of Little Japan can barely pass through.
Xuzhou Airport.
Seeing the little devils retreating one after another, the faces of the warriors did not show the slightest joy. As a veteran, everyone knows in their hearts that little devils will not give up. Fiercer battles are sure to come soon.
In addition, the casualties of the soldiers after the battle just now were not small, and there were already hundreds of casualties, and the soldiers took advantage of the little devils to retreat and seize the time to treat the wounded and replenish ammunition.
However, after such a long and fierce battle. The soldiers are running out of ammunition, and the ammunition they brought with them has been consumed by seven or eight tenths.
The head of the airborne regiment, Wang Tuan, took the binoculars and watched the little devils in the distance retreat, leaving the corpses on the ground. There was no trace of relaxation on his face, and the situation of the air regiment was not very good when the battle was fought to this extent.
"Tuanza, our ammunition consumption is too great. Again, there is no addition. If we continue like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold out until the arrival of our next batch of aircraft. The chief of staff of the airborne regiment said with a worried expression.
Head Wang nodded with a serious expression.
A communications soldier from the airborne regiment came over to report the latest situation: "Tuanza, the little devil has come over with a large number of reinforcements, at least more than two thousand, and also carries more than a dozen heavy guns. ”
The little devil's reinforcements are coming again, and this is endless.
And heavy artillery! Commander Wang frowned, as if he had thought of something, and he didn't seem to fully understand what the little devils were doing with so many heavy artillery.
I thought about it. Suddenly, a terrible thought appeared in Captain Wang's mind. The little devil is going to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle. I want to completely destroy Xuzhou Airport.
Thinking of this, Head Wang's face turned a little pale. If the little devil shells Xuzhou Airport on a large scale, then he will be completely in a desperate situation, and he can only be shelled in vain, not to mention, once Xuzhou Airport is completely destroyed by the little devil, the consequences are unimaginable.
There are not a few airborne regiments in the entire new 6th Army, and the rest of the fighters are not as capable of parachuting as their own airborne regiment after coming by transport plane, and these fighters must rely on the plane to land and stop before they can get off the plane.
Without the airfield, how will these planes land, and how will the follow-up units of the newly formed 6th Army come over.
It's a complete desperate situation!
Commander Wang looked at the time, he might have to hold on for almost two hours, two hours, and those heavy artillery of the little devils were afraid that Xuzhou Airport would be completely destroyed earlier
Takeo Nakamura finally came, dressed in a crisp major general's uniform and carrying a command knife, and stepped out of the cab of the truck. Taro Kono and several oni officers greet Takeo Nakamura's arrival.
"The brigade is !!"
A group of little devil officers saluted and greeted.
Nakamura Takeo just nodded slightly, then looked at the Xuzhou Airport in front of him, looked at it for a long time, and then said slowly: "Kono-kun, our artillery brigade is building an artillery position, and will soon carry out a large-scale artillery bombardment of Xuzhou Airport. ”
"Hey!"
Taro Kono replied loudly, with a little joy on his face. Sure enough, it was a large-scale shelling, and it was really to completely and completely destroy Xuzhou Airport, Kono Taro's guess was completely correct, how Kono Taro didn't like it.
In order to seize all the time, the small Japanese artillery brigade built an artillery position about three or four kilometers in front of Xuzhou Airport.
Knowing that this airborne unit of the new 6th Army had several large-caliber mortars, this artillery field of Little Japan was completely opened up from a safe distance, and the position was out of the soldiers' sight, even if they stood on the roof of the airport building more than ten high, Regiment Commander Wang and others could not see this artillery brigade of Little Japan.
Although they couldn't see where this artillery brigade of Little Japan was, through the binoculars, Commander Wang and the others still saw the arrival of Takeo Nakamura, and saw the more than 2,000 little devils who came with Takeo Nakamura, Commander Wang's face was not relaxed.
"Commander, you see, the team of little devils is gradually concentrating, all concentrated in the front of Xuzhou Airport, eyeing us."
"Order the soldiers, stick to your fighting position, and as long as the little devil attacks, give me a hard beating." Commander Wang knew in his heart that the little devils would definitely shell on a large scale first, but in order not to affect the morale of the soldiers, Commander Wang still issued this order.
Small Japanese artillery positions.
A large number of devil soldiers are pouting their butts, building artillery positions with shovels, and a large number of little devils are busy. One by one, the heavy artillery was untied from the towing truck, and was pushed to the predetermined position by the little devils, and the twelve cannons were lined up.
Not far away, only 100 meters apart, twenty or thirty trucks parked neatly, boxes of shells were carried off the truck by the little devil, placed next to a cannon, next to each cannon, the shells gradually increased, it seems that in order to completely destroy Xuzhou Airport, the little devil prepared enough shells.
With the busyness of hundreds of little devils, a large artillery position gradually took shape, and the muzzles of the cannons began to shake in the direction of Xuzhou Airport.
Kimura Takeo stood in front of Xuzhou Airport, hundreds of meters away from Xuzhou Airport, looked at Xuzhou Airport with a telescope, and saw a large number of devil corpses outside Xuzhou Airport, and gradually his face did not look good.
Kimura Takeo knew that these corpses were basically all from Kono United, and Kimura Takeo had a calm face and reprimanded Kono Taro. But soon, Kimura Takeo's face gradually improved again, and he looked at his watch, and according to his experience, in half an hour at most, his artillery brigade would be able to open fire.
Takeo Kimura has already calculated that according to the flight speed of ordinary transport planes, combined with the distance between Xuzhou and Hangzhou, the next batch of transport planes of the new 6th Army will arrive in more than an hour at the earliest.
In another hour, the huge Xuzhou airfield in front will be completely destroyed. Thinking that Xuzhou Airport was destroyed, the huge fleet of the new 6th Army could not land, and the last had no choice but to return, Kimura Takeo's face gradually appeared a little happy.
However, within a few minutes, the huge fleet of the newly formed 6th Army came.
This is a huge aircraft formation composed of five squadrons of a total of 120 "Flying Fortress" bombers, which is simply obscuring the sky, and the group of more than 100 huge "Flying Fortress" bombers seems to be larger and more spectacular than the group composed of several hundred fighters.
Ye Feng was far away in Hangzhou, but Ye Fengzhi was definitely under tremendous pressure from the airborne regiment. The first batch of planes did not return, and Ye Feng ordered again to dispatch five squadrons of "Flying Fortress" bombers to carry out a large-scale bombing of the area around Xuzhou Airport and the little devils in the area around Xuzhou City.
The airborne regiment will send back the latest situation every ten minutes or so, Ye Feng is fully aware of the situation, there are a large number of Japanese troops attacking Xuzhou Airport outside Xuzhou Airport, and the purpose of the Japanese army is naturally to capture Xuzhou Airport, Ye Feng naturally cannot sit idly by.
The movement of 120 "Flying Fortress" bombers was very large, and both China and Japan in the vicinity of Xuzhou Airport quickly discovered this huge group of aircraft.
Xuzhou Airport.
Commander Wang was thinking about countermeasures and how to deal with the next large-scale shelling by the little devils, when suddenly, he heard the roar of an airplane faintly in the sky.
The weather today is good, the sky is blue and the visibility is very good. Hearing the familiar roar, Regiment Leader Wang immediately looked up at the sky and saw a large number of planes flying towards him, and suddenly his heart became inexplicably excited.
Although he did not see clearly whether this was his own plane, Commander Wang had a hunch that this was the group of the newly formed 6th Army, so he hurriedly picked up the binoculars and soon saw the familiar figure of the "Flying Fortress" bomber.
Suddenly, Commander Wang was like being struck by lightning, his figure was frozen instantly, and he came over for a few seconds, his face gradually turned red, tears flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "Our own fleet is desperate to survive, desperate to survive!" ”
At the airfield, the fighters of the airborne regiment saw their huge group of bombers coming, and suddenly, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis rang out. (To be continued......)
