Chapter 281: Dangerous Moves

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

At Xuzhou Airport, the devils on the ground began to fight back, setting up several machine guns to shoot at the soldiers who were landing in the sky, and suddenly, several soldiers were shot and died.

Death in airborne combat was inevitable, and at this time, a small number of fighters had already landed on the ground, and as soon as they reached the ground, these soldiers skillfully cut the parachute rope with their paratrooper knives, and shot at the counterattacking little devils with their Thomson submachine guns or Garand rifles.

A little devil who was shooting at the sky with a crooked machine gun was beaten to pieces by a soldier not far away, and fell to the ground, and the crooked machine gun in his hand also fell far away.

"Brothers, give me a hard beating!!"

Many company and platoon commanders of airborne regiments shouted and shouted, and personally held submachine guns and fired fiercely at the little devils, and many of them were beaten to pieces.

Devil machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and other important targets on the airport were first hit by the fighters, who were holding Garand rifles and Thomson submachine guns to shoot at these targets.

As a soldier landed, there were more and more fighters at the airport, and some of the soldiers who landed outside the airport also cut through the barbed wire outside the airport and entered the airport to participate in the battle.

Close to the perimeter of the airport, there are several watchtowers around the airport, and the little devils on the watchtowers finally began to shoot, setting up machine guns, condescendingly, occupying an absolutely advantageous position, and began to shoot at the fighters on the airport.

The fighters who entered the airport saw that these firing points of the little devils posed too much threat to the fighters. A number of soldiers began to attack these watchtowers.

Under the cover of several Thomson submachine guns, several fighters rushed to one of the guard towers more than ten meters high. On the top of the boxy watchtower, a crooked machine gun is erected. Several little devils are shooting at the fighters inside the airport.

Dense submachine gun bullets came up from below, one little devil fell headlong, two little devils were injured, and the devil shooter who was shooting with a machine gun saw this, and immediately turned his gun and shot at the soldiers under the watchtower.

The rate of fire of the crooked sub-machine gun was simply not comparable to that of several Thomson submachine guns, which had just been turned on the muzzle. The little devil who was shooting with a crooked machine gun was shot several times and fell headlong.

Several soldiers quickly climbed the watchtower, bringing with them a Browning heavy machine gun and a box of ammunition. The fighters went up to the watchtower. Set up a crane gun on the top of the watchtower and start shooting at the little devils inside the airport.

The light weapons of the soldiers of the airborne regiment mainly consisted of Garand rifles, Thomson submachine guns, and heavy weapons mainly consisted of light and heavy machine guns. 60 mm. Mortars of three calibers, 81 mm and 120 mm.

These boxy, more than 10 meters high, with a top area of about 10 square meters, were erected with light and heavy machine guns and began to strafe at the little devils to provide fire support for the soldiers.

At the beginning, the fighters of the airborne regiment had the upper hand. As more and more fighters landed, a machine gun was erected. As mortars were erected, the fighters gradually gained the upper hand.

The fighters gradually gathered together, dozens of people in a team, fought in an orderly manner, and began to eliminate the little devils on the airfield.

Dozens of fighters, led by several Thomson submachine gun fighters, shot while attacking the tarmac, on which dozens of nearly 100 planes were parked, and a few planes had already started and began to run towards the runway.

A soldier saw that a small Japanese fighter plane was about to drive onto the runway, about 200 meters away from him, and it was exactly within the effective range of his Thomson submachine gun, so the soldier held his submachine gun and fired fiercely at the plane.

After a full cartridge was fired, the Nakajima plane was full of bullet holes, and the devil pilot who piloted the plane was so angry that he vomited blood, and he was about to go to the runway, and at this time he was hit by so many bullets, and the plane emitted black smoke, began to shake, and then stopped, apparently scrapped.

Many fighters entered the airport tarmac one after another and began to sabotage the planes of the little devils, either with machine guns or Thomson submachine guns, or with grenades thrown on these planes.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Explosions sounded, and the planes of the little devils were destroyed one after another, and some of the little devils who climbed into the cab immediately started their planes and drove towards the runway in the distance.

Some of the devil pilots who had already started the plane, increased the throttle, increased the speed, and prepared to force a takeoff.

Airport command hall.

Kenichi Sato, commander of the Japanese army at Xuzhou Airport, saw the scene at the airport more clearly, and saw that in just a few minutes, he was gradually at a disadvantage, his planes were destroyed one after another, and his soldiers and pilots were killed a lot, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Kenichi Sato picked up the phone on the table and hurriedly asked for help from the Japanese troops in Xuzhou City. The Japanese army stationed heavy troops in Xuzhou, the strength of a whole field division.

After making the phone call, looking at so many planes in the sky, one by one umbrella flowers were still floating down, and his airfield air defense weapons only rang a few times at the beginning, only shot down less than two or three transport planes, and after that, they never rang again, and Kenichi Sato's face was very gloomy.

Kenichi Sato thought fiercely in his heart, as long as his reinforcements arrived, these airborne troops of the newly formed 6th Army would be completely dead.

As a major general of the Japanese army, Kenichi Sato said that the airborne unit of the new 6th Army was completely alone, and it went deep into its own heavy army area, and there was a field division in Xuzhou, and there were also many Japanese troops in several cities near Xuzhou.

Ye Feng naturally knew that he was a dangerous move this time, and it would be very troublesome and risky if he didn't do it well. The airborne regiment had to destroy the Japanese troops at the Xuzhou airfield as quickly as possible and gain a firm foothold on the airfield, and it had to hold out for at least five hours.

The more than 3,000 people of the airborne regiment had to withstand the five-hour frantic counterattack of the little devils. Once it is not resisted and Xuzhou Airport is lost, the whole operation will be a complete failure. The airborne regiment will also be surrounded and annihilated by the little devils. The whole operation is full of danger.

Fortunately, although there are a large number of little devils at Xuzhou Airport, in addition to pilots and ground staff, there are not many real defense forces left, and it is estimated that there is only an infantry brigade and about 1,000 little devils.

The pilots and ground crews of the little devils, as well as the auxiliary staff, add up quite a bit. There are one or two thousand, if not a thousand, and these personnel have low combat effectiveness and pose little threat to the fighters.

The fighters of the airborne regiment seized the time to eliminate the little devils in Xuzhou. You must destroy all the little devils in the entire airport before the devil reinforcements arrive, then clean up the airport, clear the runway, and use everything you can use on the airport to build simple fortifications in a hurry. Defend against the backlash of the little devils.

If you can't eliminate the little devils of the entire airport before a large number of reinforcements arrive. The little devils will be in harmony with the outside world, and everyone's pressure will be great, and it is completely unknown whether they can withstand it for more than 5 hours.

Fortunately, the more than 3,000 fighters of the airborne regiment are all experienced veterans, and everyone cooperates tacitly, and the little devils at the airport are being quickly eliminated by everyone.

in the sky.

One by one, the C-47 transport planes began to return, and there were fewer and fewer umbrella flowers in the sky, and more than 3,000 fighters of the airborne regiment. As well as the equipment, weapons and ammunition carried, etc., are basically airborne.

The huge squadron of C-47 transport planes began to return home. Some of the "Flying Fortress" bomber formations also began to return home, and 48 of the four "Flying Fortress" bombing formations did not return for the time being, preparing to bomb the Japanese troops in the Xuzhou area, delay the reinforcement of the little devils, and win time for the fighters at the airport.

Ye Feng was on an adventure this time, and two squadrons of "Flying Fortress" bombers, a total of 48 "Flying Fortresses", escorted hundreds of C-47 transport planes back to Xiaoshan Airport and returned to Ningbo Airport.

It would be nice if there were "Mustang" fighters, and the ultra-long range of the "Mustang" fighters is fully capable of this escort mission, but the "Mustang" fighters are far from coming out, and if they are exchanged from the "Nuwa" system, the price is very expensive, and the price of one "Mustang" fighter is worth the price of several "Messersmitt B-109" fighters, and it is not cost-effective to exchange a large number of "Mustang" fighters, Ye Feng is ready to wait a little longer, and wait for the famous P-51 Mustang fighter to officially come out.

A huge fleet of more than 100 C-47 transport planes and 48 "Flying Fortress" fighters began to return home, while another 48 "Flying Fortress" bombers were loaded with bombs and left the airspace over Xuzhou Airport to bomb the little devils in the Xuzhou area.

At the airport, the fighting is still fierce.

One by one, machine guns are eliminating the little devils on the airport, and many fighters are starting to attack the outbuildings of the airport under the cover of machine guns and submachine guns, and there are many little devils in these buildings.

The little devils in the building are relying on these buildings to resist.

A ghost plane finally got onto the runway, was accelerating, and was about to take off. Several soldiers on the top of a watchtower, when they saw the plane, immediately turned the muzzle of their Browning heavy machine guns and fired fiercely at the plane.

A large number of coarse machine-gun bullets nearly blew the plane up, and the smoke rose and burned, rolling down the runway, rolling out of the distance, and at the end of the day.

The outbuildings of the airport were occupied by the fighters one after another, and although there were many little devils in them, most of them were probably auxiliary or ground staff, and they were basically unable to resist the attacks of the fighters.

The last building, and also the largest building, the command building of the Japanese army Xuzhou Airport The soldiers could not attack it for a long time, and this time it was the same, after the attacking soldiers sacrificed more than a dozen people, they retreated, and the strong attack failed again.

"Commander, this won't work." The chief of staff of the airborne regiment watched the fighters retreat again, and suddenly became a little anxious.

Commander Wang of the Airborne Regiment frowned, just now, Commander Wang watched the soldiers retreat with his own eyes, looked at his watch, from the beginning of the airborne landing to now, half an hour has passed, maybe the reinforcements of the little devils are already on the way.

The command building, the command hall of little Japan, the commander of the Japanese army at Xuzhou Airport, Kenichi Sato, saw that he was firmly guarding this building, and many little devils also retreated to this building, and a sneer appeared on Kenichi Sato's face.

Some of the little devils on the airport were unable to resist the attack of the fighters on the empty airport in the battle just now, and some of the little devils had already retreated to the airport command building.

Kenichi Sato's call for help has been going out for almost half an hour, and Kenichi Sato estimates that a large number of reinforcements will come soon, and there are still hundreds of people in the airport building, so they can meet the inside and outside at that time.

Kenichi Sato has received a clear reply, a tank squadron, a motorized brigade have set out to reinforce Xuzhou Airport first, and in the follow-up, a large number of infantry is rushing here.

Thinking that there was a squadron of tanks and armored vehicles coming to reinforce him, plus a motorized brigade, Kenichi Sato sneered a few more times. Kenichi Sato said that this airborne unit of the newly formed 6th Army had no heavy weapons and was basically unable to withstand the tanks and armored vehicles that came to reinforce it.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, the sneer on Sato's face became a little thicker.
