Also arriving at Xuzhou Airport on the same plane as He Feng were the chiefs of staff Guo Weiquan, Zhao Long, Long Yi, and 20 specially selected special combat personnel, who were Ye Feng's personal guards during his stay in Xuzhou.

Ye Feng walked out of the C-47 transport plane he was on and looked at Xuzhou Airport a little. The entire Xuzhou airport is full of traces of war, and you can even see some wreckage of Japanese planes that have not had time to clean up for the time being, as well as some damaged Japanese planes.

"Junza, we have finally arrived at Xuzhou Airport." The two-hour long-distance flight seemed to make Zhao Long panic, and he walked out of the cabin, took a few breaths of air, and immediately sighed.

Long Yi was relatively taciturn, following behind Ye Feng, Guo Weiquan didn't say anything, just looked around at the situation at Xuzhou Airport.

At Xuzhou Airport, one plane after another landed, a large number of soldiers stepped off the plane, and gradually, there were more people on the airport.

An infantry regiment of the Second Infantry Division was transported by air, and this time, Ye Feng ordered all the transport planes to be dispatched, and an infantry regiment of more than 3,000 people, except for heavy weapons and equipment, everyone arrived here lightly.

Ye Feng came with the plane, everyone's heavy weapons and equipment don't have to worry, they can be exchanged from the "Nuwa" system.

With so many planes coming, Xuzhou Airport was busy, and the soldiers of the First Regiment of the Second Infantry Division began to help clean up the airport, and some soldiers took the initiative to guard the perimeter of the airport.

More than 3,000 fighters carrying light weapons and equipment all landed, and one by one C-47 transport planes began to take off and begin to return in formation.

Ye Feng is in Zhao Long. Long Yi and others accompanied him into a hangar at Xuzhou Airport. Xuzhou Airport is one of the largest airports of the North China Front of Little Japan, and two large hangars have been built on one side of the airport.

At this time, all the wrecked small Japanese planes in the two hangars were cleared out. The inside seemed empty, and after closing the door, Ye Feng began to exchange infantry heavy weapons and equipment.

All kinds of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, a lot of ammunition, etc., even 105 mm howitzers, all kinds of battle defense guns, etc., were exchanged. Everything seems very mysterious.

In addition to these weapons and equipment, in another hangar, Ye Feng also exchanged for some trucks. Some necessary armored vehicles, as well as some vehicles such as off-road vehicles.

Xuzhou, headquarters of the 110th Division.

The commander of the Japanese division, Matahiro Noto, had already been reported that the huge fleet of the newly formed 6th Army had arrived at the Xuzhou airfield. Noto Matashiro had a dark face. We are thinking about countermeasures.

The chief of staff of the devil next to him saw that the face of the commander of his division was not good-looking at all, he looked cautious, and he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, since today, it was the most difficult day for the entire 110th division.

Only five or six hours after the battle at Xuzhou Airport began, the casualties of the 110th Division had already exceeded one-third, of which the Kono Wing was completely annihilated and the Kimura Brigade suffered heavy losses. The brigade commander, Takeo Kimura, was killed, in addition. Many Japanese puppet army units in the vicinity of Xuzhou City were bombed by the planes of the new 6th Army and suffered heavy losses.

Noto Matashiro thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Once again, I will ask for help from His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Tada Jun, and ask for infantry reinforcements to recapture Xuzhou Airport." ”

Two hours earlier, after learning that Takeo Kimura had been killed, Matashiro Noto sent a telegram to the North China Front of Little Japan, asking for reinforcements.

From time to time, a large number of planes of the new 6th Army appeared in the Xuzhou area, and Noto Matashiro had a headache. The Xuzhou airfield was lost, and little Japan had almost no air force in the Xuzhou area, and the 110th Division was just a field division, and in the face of the aircraft group of the newly formed 6th Army, it could only look up to the sky and sigh, or it could only be bombed.

When the chief of staff of the devil heard Matashiro Noto's order, he had no choice but to go again to send a report to Tada Jun of the North China Front of Little Japan.

About ten minutes later.

The chief of staff of the devil walked in quickly and reported loudly: "Your Excellency the division commander, I have received a personal reply from the Commander-in-Chief of Tada Jun's Cabinet, and the 1st Brigade of the Chariot is coming and will arrive in Xuzhou at about seven o'clock in the evening. In addition, Zaozhuang's independent mixed 5th Brigade is also beginning to march to Xuzhou, and its main force is expected to arrive in Xuzhou starting tomorrow morning. ”

"Yo Xi !!"

Noto Matashiro's face improved significantly, and he gradually became happy. Noto Matashiro was far from expecting that Tada Jun had given him such a strong reinforcement and dispatched a chariot brigade.

Tank brigades and heavy artillery brigades are basically strategic forces for little devils, and they will not be easily dispatched under normal circumstances.

With the 1st Tank Brigade, with the cooperation of the 110th Division, we will definitely be able to recapture Xuzhou Airport in the evening. Noto Matashiro said that it was impossible for the newly formed 6th Army to dispatch planes at night.

The North China Front Army of Little Japan was a few points larger than the Central China Front, and not only had more than a dozen field divisions and regiments, several mixed brigades, two tank brigades, two heavy artillery brigades, and one cavalry brigade, but also more than a dozen independent garrisons. In addition to these troops, there are also a large number of puppet troops

After exchanging the equipment, Ye Feng arranged for the equipment, weapons and ammunition to be distributed one after another. With Xuzhou Airport as the center, the soldiers set up a defensive position, the first regiment of the Air Force Marine (Airborne Regiment), the first regiment of the Second Infantry Division, and thousands of soldiers protected the Xuzhou Airport.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a third batch of fighters, also more than 3,000 people, will arrive at Xuzhou Airport.

At present, there are about 3,000 people in the airborne regiment around Xuzhou Airport, more than 3,000 people in the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division, and more than 6,000 people in the two units combined.

Ye Feng stood on the top of the tallest building in Xuzhou Airport, holding a telescope, looking at the terrain around the airport.

Thinking about the more than 6,000 soldiers on his hands, Ye Feng's mood was not easy, although the 110th Division of the small Japanese in Xuzhou suffered a lot of casualties and its morale was also low, but if he took the initiative to attack, it would be really insufficient.

It would be nice if there were reinforcements, or if there were other armies.

Thinking of the rest of the troops, Ye Feng couldn't help but think of the Eighth Route Army operating in the Lunan area. Ye Feng knew that in the area of Lunan, the Eighth Route Army opened up an anti-Japanese base area. The scale of the Eighth Route Army was not small, but its weapons and equipment were too poor, and its combat effectiveness was somewhat inferior to that of the Japanese army.

Ye Feng's intelligence work has always been good, and the garrison situation of small Japan in the Xuzhou area and several nearby cities has also been investigated, and when the war breaks out in Xuzhou, little Japan will definitely come to reinforce the army, and it will definitely come to reinforcements by rail or road. The closest large-scale Japanese army to Xuzhou was the 5th Brigade of the Small Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade in Zaozhuang.

If Lunan's Eighth Route Army can block the independent mixed 5th Brigade and regiment to reinforce southward, as long as the 2nd Infantry Division is airlifted over, it can counterattack and clean up the little devils in Xuzhou.

The Second Infantry Division has a total of 10,000 thousands of men, and if it is transported by air, it will take at least a whole day tomorrow, at least several batches.

Before making a move on Xuzhou, Ye Feng learned about Lunan's Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army had the ability to block the little devils from moving south to reinforce Xuzhou.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Shandong Party organization led the armed uprisings in Tengxian, Yixian and other places, carried out the work of establishing base areas, and established the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps in May 1938.

In May 1939, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the 7th Regiment of the 6th Detachment of the Eastward Anti-Japanese Column entered the border areas of Tai'an, Surabaya and Ningyang from Luxi, and then developed to the northwest of Feixian County. In July, the 686th Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army entered Lunan from Huxi District and opened up the Zou (County) and Teng (County) border areas.

In September, the main force of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army advanced to Surabaya, Tengxian, Feixian, Yixian, and Linyi areas, joined up with the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps, opened up the Fei, Yi, Tengbian districts, Tancheng, and Matouzhen areas, and established the Lunan anti-Japanese base area centered on Tianbaoshan.

The entire Lunan region was full of the Eighth Route Army, and it was completely feasible to block and harass small Japanese reinforcements and go south to reinforce Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is a transportation hub, where the north-south and east-west railway arteries converge, with extensive transportation and a special strategic location, which is also one of the reasons why Ye Feng aimed at Xuzhou.

When Ye Feng arrived at Xuzhou Airport, a large number of "Flying Fortress" bombers had already bombed the main railway lines in Xuzhou, east, west, north and south, and bombed major highways and bridges, the purpose of which was naturally to slow down the speed of small Japanese reinforcements.

Thinking of asking the Eighth Route Army to cooperate, Ye Feng felt that it was no further ado, and said to Guo Weiquan, the chief of staff next to him: "Chief of Staff Guo, you are fully responsible for commanding the war in Xuzhou, and I am going to the base of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"You're going to the Eighth Route Army base area?"

Guo Weiquan was surprised, and then, as if he wanted to say something, he immediately nodded, "Junzao, don't worry, I will grasp the war in Xuzhou, you must pay attention to safety this time." ”

Ye Feng nodded, took Zhao Long, and Long Yi waited on the roof of this building.

Zaozhuang.

The small Japanese independent mixed into the 5th Brigade, a long procession, along the road to Xuzhou. Little Japan has received information that the railway is badly damaged and temporarily impassable.

However, the road has also been damaged, but it is a little better than the railway, and it is barely passable, and some bridges may have to be rebuilt after they are blown up, which takes a lot of time.

Little Japan has a long line of roads that stretch so long that there is no end in sight.
