Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and after nearly a month of full-speed repairs, the Longshan Airport, which covers an area of more than 300 acres, was finally completed three days ago.

That night, Joan Bang took out 100 BF109s, 30 HE111 medium bombers, and 20 Skatu dive bombers from the aircraft.

Since Qiao Anbang sent people to lock down the entire airport after the completion of the airport, and did not allow the pilots and ground crews to enter until a few days later, when they entered the airport and saw the neatly arranged warplanes, they did not have the slightest suspicion of the origin of the planes except for excitement and shock.

Even if someone occasionally doubts, then he can only think secretly in his heart, no one knows what is going on, no one will tell them why people bother about the situation of the plane, they don't dare to ask around, the less the soldiers know, the better.

In the days when the airfield was built, there were also young intellectuals who had come all the way from various provinces in North China to join the army, and Qiao Anbang selected more than 500 qualified people from among them, and prepared to train them to become the first batch of pilots to save [***].

Qiao Anbang was inspecting the airport accompanied by Yali and others, when suddenly a side three-wheeled motorcycle flying the blue sky and white flag came from outside the airport.

Seeing the hurried expression of the soldiers on the motorcycle, the guards guarding the entrance of the airport immediately let them go, and the person driving the side three-wheeled motorcycle was none other than Jiang Jun, the deputy head of the guard regiment, but sitting in the side bucket was an officer with a ragged clothes and a dirty face, this person was Wang Baoshan, the lieutenant colonel of the Chu Jingming Security Regiment.

The side three-wheeled motorcycle crossed the checkpoint and sped inward along the airport road.

After Qiao Anbang and the others inspected the hundreds of various fighters parked on the tarmac, they were about to give a lecture to the pilots when they heard the roar of the motorcycle engine.

When I heard the sound, I turned around and saw a side three-wheeled motorcycle speeding towards me in the distance.

Liang Jiahan, who had been following Qiao Anbang, subconsciously stepped forward, and his white jade hand quietly touched the gun on his waist, and observed the approaching motorcycle with a vigilant expression.

At this time, Liang Jiahan had already changed into a brand-new military uniform, and the originally ordinary military uniform immediately became extraordinary when she wore it, with a straight plump buttocks, and proud breasts that wanted to break through the military uniform.

Soon, Bian Sanlun galloped to Qiao Anbang from a distance, and before Jiang Jun could park the car, Wang Baoshan, who was sitting in the side fight, jumped down excitedly and almost fell to the ground.

Qiao Anbang recognized Wang Baoshan, and a trace of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart, and he immediately stepped forward to support Wang Baoshan and asked with concern: "Deputy Head Wang, what's wrong?" What's going on? Didn't you go north with my eldest brother to fight against it? ”

"Brigade Commander Qiao, hurry up and send troops to reinforce my security regiment, it's too late, I'm afraid the regimental seat and all the brothers will be gone." Wang Baoshan looked sad with a crying expression, grabbed Qiao Anbang's arms and said. He didn't know that Qiao Anbang had now formed a rescue [***], so he thought that Qiao Anbang was the brigade commander of the Tiger Brigade.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Anbang was shocked and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, tell me what happened." ”

Wang Baoshan immediately recounted to Qiao Anbang what happened to Chu Jingming's department in the past few months.

It turned out that the situation was like this, Chu Jingming led more than 1,000 people of the security regiment of his headquarters to the north to resist, and after the troops arrived in Xuzhou, it coincided with the establishment of the Fifth War Zone, and his security regiment was incorporated into the Third Division of the Eighth Army, which was subordinate to Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army.

At the end of the Battle of Nanjing, the North China Army had crossed the Yellow River and advanced to the land of Qilu, and General Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, dispatched troops to fight hard to meet the attack, while the defense of the 11th Group Army where Chu Jingming was located was the southern section of the Jinpu Road and along the Huai River, so until the end of the Battle of Nanjing, their regiment did not have any fighting.

It was not until more than two months ago that the Central China Army sent troops across the Yangtze River and marched northward, and the 11th Group Army and the 21st Group Army entered a state of combat readiness.

At this time, the progress of history was slightly deviated from the original history, first of all, the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou was more than a month later than the original history.

The more than 100,000 troops withdrawn from the Nanjing battlefield were not used in the Fifth Theater, and Chairman Chiang transferred his most elite 88th, 87th, and 36th divisions to Henan and the First Theater, and only three or four divisions, or less than 50,000 people, were really left to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou.

The result of Qiao Anbang's original vision was slightly different, and from here we can see how unsightly Chairman Chiang's strategic vision was, and with the war imminent, he also wanted to save a few of his descendants, and if these descendants could be used on the battlefield in Xuzhou, he would not dare to say that they would turn the tide and create a miracle, at least they would be able to greatly strengthen the available forces in Li Zongren's hands, which would be extremely conducive to his command of this large-scale battle.

As we all know, when a commander formulates strategies and tactics, he often has to consider the overall situation, and in this process, the troop allocation, logistics, reserves, and so on of both sides are all very important elements.

If the battle enters a white-hot stalemate, even one more division may tip the balance of victory.

However, from the standpoint of Chairman Chiang, it is not surprising that he deliberately preserved several of his descendants, and after the Battle of Songhu, the elite Central Army under Chairman Chiang suffered three losses, and the defense of Nanjing was really forced to defend.

After all, he is also a human being, and he is also a person in power, so he is naturally selfish.

From Wang Baoshan's account, Qiao Anbang learned that as early as half a month ago, the forward troops of the Yue Army had captured Hefei, Chuzhou and other places, and the front of the troops was directed at the Huai River.

Except for the 18th Division, the Guoqi Detachment, and the 3rd Division, which had suffered considerable losses in the defense of Nanjing, and some units directly under the Central China Army, which were responsible for guarding the captured areas, the main force of more than 100,000 people crossed the Yangtze River north and began to march toward the Central Plains.

Under the onslaught of nearly 10,000 troops, Chu Jingming's headquarters and friendly troops suffered heavy casualties, and the headquarters of the 11th Group Army was forced to abandon its position on the south bank.

Since Chu Jingming's department was not a descendant, and its predecessor was just a local militia group, it was ordered by the headquarters of the 11th Group Army to hold on to the broken back, which was cannon fodder to put it bluntly, and won time for the retreat of the descendants of the other 11th Group Army.

Unable to disobey the military order, Chu Jingming led the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to fight a bloody battle in Fengyang Gorge north of Fengyang, during the battle, the radio station donated by Qiao Anbang was blown up by a military plane, and the confidential personnel were sacrificed.

So Wang Baoshan, the deputy head of the regiment, took advantage of the night to break through and rode Chu Jingming's fast horse to rush to Pheasant and Ji for help.

The war horse fell to the ground and died violently when it arrived at Pheasant Heji due to a long-distance gallop, so Jiang Jun drove a motorcycle to send Wang Baoshan to the airport in a hurry.

"Brigadier Qiao, please save our regiment and all the brothers in the regiment! Now that they have fallen into the siege of the army, they are still struggling to insist, please send reinforcements as soon as possible, I am afraid that they will ...... if it is too late" Wang Baoshan said anxiously.

"Deputy Head Wang, don't worry, your group seat is my sworn brother, even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will definitely do my best to save you!" Qiao Anbang comforted Wang Baoshan, and then turned to Jiang Jun on the side and said: "Jiang Jun, you go back first, immediately notify the division commanders, tank armored brigades and other directly governed troops, and immediately gather troops and prepare to rush to the aid of Fengyang!" ”

As soon as Jiang Jun heard that there was going to be a war, he was suffocated after these days, and immediately stepped forward and replied loudly: "Yes!" With that, he turned around and got on the motorcycle, turned around and hurried away.

"Commander, the recruits of each division have not yet been trained, and they will go to the battlefield now, I am worried that it will be a little too early?" Xie Jinyuan on the side was a little worried.

Because Qiao Anbang privately reorganized the Tiger Brigade into Rescue [***], because it was not authorized by the National Political Axe and Chairman Jiang, it was irregular and illegal, so Xie Jinyuan declined Qiao Anbang's request to ask him to be the commander of the Second Division, and now he is staying in Rescue [***] as an adviser to assist Qiao Anbang in training recruits.

"Big brother, you are too worried, you can't train real soldiers on the training ground, the battlefield is the best training ground, only after experiencing the baptism of actual combat, can the recruit quickly grow into a qualified veteran, and the combat effectiveness of this army will undergo a qualitative transformation." Qiao Anbang said confidently.

"But... In this way, the losses of recruits will probably be serious! Xie Jinyuan frowned and continued.

"There are no immortals in a war, as long as the troops can quickly form combat effectiveness, some necessary sacrifices are worth it!" Qiao Anbang said indifferently.

In fact, how could he want to pull the troops who have not been trained for three months to the front line now, but the situation is pressing, and he can't help it, even if there is no factor of Chu Jingming being surrounded, when the 100,000 troops of the Yue army are approaching the Huai River defense line and the southern section of Xuzhou is in crisis, he Qiao Anbang must also stand up and lead the army to participate in the battle.

If the battlefield of Xuzhou on the southern front is lost, it will directly affect General Li Zongren's careful deployment on the northern front, and the final result of the battle of Xuzhou can only end in failure.

So Qiao Anbang had no choice, in order not to let the Battle of Xuzhou end in failure, in order to avoid the disaster of the Huayuankou embankment breaking again, he had no choice but to lead the army to participate in the war.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the barracks! Qiao Anbang waved his hand and led the way towards the car not far away, and Xie Jinyuan and the others hurriedly followed.
