"Captain, the pursuers of the Zhina!" During the retreat, Tamura Shaoza pointed in the direction of Sekiji Town with a panicked expression, and reported to Hachiro Tagami in front of him.

Hachiro Tagami looked back, he didn't know if he didn't know, he was startled when he saw it, and as far as he could see, a large number of Chinese soldiers had poured out of the wilderness outside the entire Guanji Town.

Strictly speaking, these armed men are not considered regular [***], because a few of them wear military uniforms, and many of them wear blue and gray overalls.

Hachiro Tanakami looked at the middle [***] team chasing after him like a tide, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he gasped and said, "How is it possible?" How could there be so many people in the Chinese army? ”

At this moment, Hachiro Tanakami had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out when he broke his head, didn't his own intelligence say that the rear of the Tiger Army was already very empty? Why is there so many Chinese armed forces gathered in this small Guanji town in front of us?

Looking at the thousands of Chinese pursuers, Hachiro Tanakami couldn't help but think of the reasons for the failure of the 3rd Squadron's roundabout attack.

Just when Hachiro Tanakami was still in extreme shock and panic, Tamura Shaoza in front of him raised his head and pointed to the air and shouted in horror again: "Your Excellency Dazuo, hurry, look, China, China!" ”

"Huh?" Hachiro Tanakami was shocked in his heart, and suddenly looked up, and couldn't help but change color suddenly, only to see dozens of Chinese fighters in the sky whistling in the clouds.

In an instant, Hachiro Tanakami suddenly fell into an ice cave, and he was desperate to the extreme, and he shouted in a hurry: "Hurry! Take cover... Air defence...! ”

However, before Hachiro Tana's order could be heard, dozens of BF109 fighters and Stuka dive bombers roared into the sky.

"Dada...... Fighter planes and bombers began to strafe and bomb one after another, and dense machine shells and aerial bombs weighing tens or even hundreds of kilograms also smashed down on the heads of the devil crowd with a piercing scream.......

Originally, when the Qiao Anbang Air Force received an order to suspend air support on the northern front battlefield and instead support the operations in Guanji Town and the Taihe area, the Air Force was unable to arrive for a long time because most of the fighters were carrying out the task of bombing the positions of the Yue Army and blocking the roads in the Xuzhou area at that time.

When reinforcements from the 4th Division arrived, the flight regiment's fleet was replenished with fuel and ammunition, and they flew to the battlefield as soon as they encountered the retreating Japanese army.

"Boom! Rumble! "Explosions in the distance came and went, and clouds of flames accompanied by billowing smoke rose into the air, and from high above the ground to the ground, huge mushroom clouds rose from time to time.

In the midst of these violent explosions and heavy flames, the soldiers who could not escape were killed in pieces.

The ultra-low-altitude dive-strafing of the BF109 fighter group made matters worse for the devils, who had already lost more than half of their lives in less than ten minutes under the double blow of a dense rain of bullets and violent explosions.

The surviving devils were also in chaos, and they fled in all directions regardless of their panic.

In order to return as soon as possible to support the operation on the northern front, the mixed fleet of the Air Force did not make too many stops, but resolutely returned home, and the battle situation has been carried out at this point, the victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion, and the remaining pursuit battle and cleaning up the battlefield are the work of the ground troops.

When the air force began to return home, many recruits excitedly waved their hands to the sky, and some even threw their hats high and shouted moving slogans such as long live the air force and long live the tiger army while cheering.

After the group of air force fighters disappeared from sight, thousands of recruits, led by the veterans, swarmed in the direction of the devil's escape like a flood that burst the embankment.

An unsuspenseful pursuit battle began.

About two hours later, thousands of pursuing troops returned one after another, and the guard battalion directly under the headquarters of the 4th Division, which had arrived more than an hour earlier, became the welcome to welcome the victory of the garrison brigade in Guanji Town.

"Ji Changfeng, lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters of the Fourth Division of the Tiger Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to lead his troops to reinforcements!" When Liu Guodong, the captain of the garrison brigade, strode to the guard battalion with his subordinates with an excited face, a lieutenant colonel officer stepped out, stood up and said loudly.

Ji Changfeng's voice fell, and Liu Guodong hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Liu Guodong, lieutenant colonel of the National Revolutionary Army's Huben Army Guanji Arsenal Reading Force Garrison Brigade, thank you Battalion Commander Ji for your reinforcements, at present, more than 1,000 troops who attacked our arsenal have been completely wiped out by our department, and no one has slipped through the net!" ”

"Annihilated?" Ji Changfeng was a little surprised.

"Hmmm! Thanks to the support of the fraternal units of the Air Force, we were lucky enough to wipe out this force. Liu Guodong replied with a slightly humble nod. Ji Changfeng is an officer of the field army and a unit directly under the Fourth Division, while Liu Guodong is also a lieutenant colonel, but nominally he can only be regarded as a second-line garrison force.

He understands that victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, sometimes a man should be modest to be modest, especially in front of colleagues and bosses, this time the Guanji defense battle, the garrison brigade was outnumbered, annihilating more than 1,000 troops, although it was the use of thousands of technicians, but it was definitely a great victory, he Liu Guodong has already made great achievements, so naturally he will not get cheap and good.

"Oh, Na Ji congratulated Battalion Commander Liu in advance, today is a battle, Battalion Commander Liu has made great achievements, and his promotion is just around the corner!" Ji Changfeng can sit in the position of the commander of the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters of the Fourth Division, in addition to his own ability, he is naturally a reasonable person, and he immediately gave up.

"Brother Ji has won the award, this time in the defense of Guanji, if it wasn't for your timely reinforcements and scared away the army, how could we have won a complete victory, so Brother Ji and your guard battalion are also indispensable." Liu Guodong said sincerely.

"Hey." Ji Changfeng waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, they are all their own brothers, and they both serve the country, as long as they can eliminate the devils, it doesn't matter if they are famous or not." ”

"Brother Ji is right!" Liu Guodong nodded solemnly, and said: "The brothers should be very tired all the way to help, so let's go to Taihe and the county town to have a good rest, and we will celebrate together on this victory!" ”

"Good!" Ji Changfeng did not shirk, the order that Chu Jingming gave him was to rush to the aid of Taihe and ensure the safety of Guanji Arsenal and Taihe City, now that the danger has been lifted, it is reasonable to enter Taihe and the county seat.

Immediately turned his head and waved his hand at the subordinates behind him and said loudly: "Order all companies and platoons to enter the city to rest!" ”

……………………………………

Under the reinforcements of the 4th Division and the front and rear attacks of the airport garrison battalion, the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Brigades of the 34th Infantry Wing were completely lost, and only a few people took advantage of the chaos to escape.

At this point, the entire 34th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army could be said to have been completely wiped out, and what was more serious was that due to the death of the wing commander Hachiro Tanagami, the wing flag personally awarded by Emperor Hirohito also became a trophy of the Sekiji garrison brigade.

That is to say, even after the remnants of the 34th Infantry Wing escaped, it would be impossible for the army to rebuild this wing, and from then on, this main field wing, which had repeatedly defeated the Chinese [***] team and made great achievements for the army, would be removed from the establishment of the army.

Xuzhou, in the compound of the headquarters of the Tiger Army.

Hundreds of officers and men of the special operations battalion are ready to go, and Qiao Anbang, commander-in-chief of the Tiger Army, is giving them the final encouragement and mobilization.

Suddenly, Qiao Anbang's personal attendant adjutant Liang Jiahan walked over with a happy face, and when he arrived in front of Qiao Anbang, Liang Jiahan stood up and saluted: "Military seat, Taihe Ji Pheasant and Jijian Electric." ”

"Oh?" Qiao Anbang saw that Liang Jiahan's eyebrows revealed an unconcealable joy, and subconsciously waved his hand and said, "Read!" ”

"The garrison brigade of Taihe Guanji was in an emergency, and the garrison brigade, under the leadership of the captain Liu Guodong, first blocked the frontal attack of the Yue army, and then defeated the Yue army in one fell swoop with the cooperation of the air force, and after more than two hours of pursuit, it finally annihilated more than 1,000 Yue troops who attacked Taihe, killed one officer of the Yue army's Dazuo rank, and one of the remaining junior and middle officers, and also captured a flag of the Yue Army's wing." Liang Jiahan read into the message, and although the voice was not loud, the officers and soldiers present could almost hear it.

After reading the first emergency telegram, Liang Jiahan took the second telegram in his hand and continued to read: "Pheasant and Jijian telegram, under the command of the battalion commander Zhou Hao, the Longshan Airport Reading Force Garrison Battalion successfully blocked the fierce attack of more than 2,000 people of the Yue Army, and finally insisted until the reinforcements of the Fourth Division arrived, and the reinforcements were flanked back and forth, annihilating most of the two thousand Yue troops, only a few of the Yue troops escaped, and our army is currently pursuing and suppressing them with all their might. ”

After she finished reading all the two telegrams, including Qiao Anbang, the officers and soldiers present were all deeply inspired, and the happiest one was Qiao Anbang, the crisis in the two places was resolved at the same time, especially the commander named Liu Guodong in the Guanji Defense Battle, who performed particularly well, and with a little training, he was definitely a general.

In addition to the excitement, Qiao Anbang's eyes were like knives and he glanced at all the officers and soldiers of the special operations battalion present, and said sharply: "Brothers, you have all heard the good news just now, the Guanji garrison brigade has eliminated more than 1,000 troops with less than 300 people, and has achieved a brilliant victory, and you, as the Tiger Army, no, are the most elite troops of the [***] team, and you should create a greater miracle and achieve a more brilliant victory!"

Whether the attack behind the enemy line can succeed is related to the victory or defeat of our army this time, and it is also related to the life and death of our army, so please be sure to complete the task, I will set up a banquet for you in Xuzhou City, waiting for everyone's triumph! ”

"Please rest assured that the special operations battalion will not be as good as the mission, and we will vow to complete this combat mission and live up to the elite name!" Hundreds of officers and men of the special operations battalion roared in unison under the leadership of battalion commander Liang Yiyu.

"Very good, let's go!" Qiao Anbang nodded happily and waved his big hand.
