Chapter 282: Purging the Remnants of the Enemy
Commander Wang of the Airborne Regiment looked at the airport building several stories high in the distance, this building seemed to be relatively strong, and it was difficult to attack it with his own submachine guns, machine guns and other weapons.
After pondering for a while, Commander Wang Tuan shouted loudly: "Mortars, concentrate all our large-caliber mortars, bombard me hard, and collapse this building." ”
Originally, according to the plan, this building was to be retained, if Xuzhou Airport was occupied by soldiers, a large number of soldiers would be transported here by C-47 transport plane, Xuzhou Airport, and the airport's ancillary facilities, including this building, were ready to continue to be used.
Now as a last resort, the little devils are cowering in this building, and if it drags on any longer, time waits for no one, maybe the reinforcements of Little Japan will come soon, and now they can only collapse this building.
With the order of Regiment Commander Wang, six 120-millimeter large-caliber mortars were quickly erected, and the airborne regiment carried a total of six such mortars when it landed at Xuzhou Airport, and twenty or thirty soldiers were in position one by one, waiting for Commander Wang's order.
After more than half an hour of fighting, the small Japanese planes at Xuzhou Airport were basically destroyed, and more than half of the little devils on the airport were also eliminated.
The fighters were hundreds of meters away from the airport building, and they had no worries about setting up these mortars in a wide open space, and it was completely impossible for the little devils to threaten these mortars under the pressure of everyone.
Airport Building.
Kenichi Sato was in the command hall, sneering on his face. Imagining that his reinforcements would arrive soon, he would be able to work together with the outside and wipe out the airborne troops of the new 6th Army in one fell swoop.
Next to a Japanese soldier Dazuo. He was holding a telescope and looking at the battle situation outside through the glass window, when suddenly, the Japanese soldier's face changed, as if he had been frozen.
"Your Excellency, Commander, look over there." The tone of this Japanese soldier was a little anxious and a little frightened.
Kenichi Sato looked ahead, a few hundred meters away from him in an open field. Several large-caliber mortars lined up, and it was clear that the target of these mortars was their own airfield command building.
This is a mortar of 120 mm caliber!!
Kenichi Sato's face changed dramatically. Such a large-caliber mortar is very powerful, and this command building of his own will never be able to withstand the bombardment of these mortars.
Thinking of this, Kenichi Sato shouted eagerly and shouted, "Retreat." Quickly retreat. ”
Finished shouting. Kenichi Sato hurriedly walked towards the outside of the command hall with a command knife in his hand, preparing to go downstairs and withdraw from the building. Several Japanese commanders next to them hurriedly followed, and everyone ran out anxiously.
Distance.
Regiment Commander Wang saw that the soldiers were ready to open fire, one 120-millimeter mortar after another had been aimed at distant targets, boxes of shells had been opened, and the soldiers were in place. So, Wang Tuan waved his hand. Shouted loudly.
"Fire, fire, blow down that building for me."
Hearing the order of their regimental commander, the soldiers immediately opened fire, and soon, bursts of artillery fire rang out, and one mortar shell after another flew into the sky, making a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards the command building.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Violent explosions rang out, shells exploded in the command building of the airport, mortars fired much faster than howitzers, and in just one minute, dozens of shells hit the target, and the entire building was shrouded in explosions.
Inside the building.
The little devils are all frightened, there are a lot of people in the whole building, such a violent explosion, the whole building seems to be in danger of collapsing.
Some little devils rushed out of the building with their heads in their hands, and as soon as they ran out of the gate, a bomb exploded at the gate, killing a large number of little devils, and the building was in chaos, and hundreds of little devils would not be able to run out of it all in a while.
Kenichi Sato, who was hurriedly preparing to escape for his life, was also blocked in the building and couldn't get out, and the whole building shook with a rumbling explosion.
With a bang, the building collapsed by more than half, raising dust in the sky, crushing a large number of little devils, and the whole building suddenly became a dangerous building, which could collapse at any time and completely become a ruin.
Seeing the crumbling building, Kenichi Sato looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and his face was pale. The building was halfway collapsed, revealing the sky, and Kenichi Sato could see it when he looked up.
A cannonball, with a sharp whistle, flew straight towards Kenichi Sato, this shell was infinitely magnified in Kenichi Sato's eyes, and with a loud "boom", this shell exploded next to Kenichi Sato.
The violent explosion tore Kenichi Sato apart directly, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and several pieces of minced meat flew out with the wave of the explosion without a trace. Several Japanese officers next to them were also thrown out of the air wave by the explosion like broken sacks. Affected by such a violent explosion, the Japanese officers were killed before they could be thrown out of the air.
Mortar shells fell one after another, and the building immediately collapsed completely, turning it into a pile of rubble.
Even, after the building became a ruin, the soldiers also fired some shells, one after another shells exploded on this ruin, and the little devil who was pressed under the ruins for the time being was either killed or shocked to death under the violent explosion.
Distance.
When Regiment Commander Wang and the soldiers saw such a large building in ruins under the intensive mortar bombardment, everyone cheered, and Regiment Commander Wang even waved his fist in the air.
The entire building was bombed into ruins, and hundreds of the little devils at Xuzhou Airport died in an instant, and the soldiers were able to free up their hands to deal with the remnants of the little devils at Xuzhou Airport.
The battle to destroy the remnants of the little devils begins.
The soldiers numbered from a dozen to twenty or thirty, and everyone began to clear the remaining little devils from the airport, and the little devils who continued to resist were eliminated one after another.
With the passage of time, the battle at the airport gradually came to an end, and the little devils of the entire Xuzhou airport were almost wiped out by the soldiers.
The fighters began to treat the wounded, began to clean up the battlefield, and even began to clear the airfield runway in preparation for the arrival of the next batch of C-47 transport aircraft.
A few hours later, a large number of C-47 transport planes will transport a large number of fighters, a large number of weapons and equipment will arrive here, one by one the planes will land at Xuzhou Airport, and as time goes by, there will be more and more fighters around Xuzhou Airport.
Of course, all this depends on whether the soldiers of the airborne regiment who arrived here first can withstand the crazy counterattack of the little devil reinforcements and whether they can hold Xuzhou Airport.
As the battle drew to a close, the guns at the airfield were thinning out.
Some of the fighters began to build simple fortifications, and the fighters set up machine guns and took up advantageous positions to prepare for the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the little devils.
……
The 48 "Flying Fortress" bombers that departed from Xuzhou Airport first circled around Xuzhou, at an altitude of several thousand meters, the sky was blue, and the visibility was relatively good.
With so many planes arriving at Xuzhou Airport, the little devils in this area of Xuzhou must have learned the road one after another, and the soldiers had no scruples, driving the "Flying Fortress" bomber to hover over Xuzhou, looking for bombing targets.
The tactical purpose of the fighters who flew the "Flying Fortress" bomber was obvious, that is, to give priority to bombing and reinforcing the devil's reinforcements, rather than the few military camps of the little devils in this area of Xuzhou.
Giving priority to bombing the reinforcements that have already arrived can maximize the time for the soldiers of the airborne regiment, and time is the key to determining the outcome of this battle.
Circling in a circle, the fighters found two bombing targets, and on a road leading to the Xuzhou airport, a team of captained little devils was marching, led by a dozen tanks and several armored vehicles, which could be a squadron of combat vehicles in Little Japan.
Not far from this tank squadron, only two or three kilometers behind, a longer team of devils, with a large number of trucks, and even a few armored vehicles in the team, this long team, I'm afraid there are thousands of people.
These devils are on an urgent march, along the road, raising up a cloud of dust.
