Nodo Yushiro knew that his vanguard reinforcement troops were bombed, and when his subsequent large troops arrived at the airport, time would definitely pass a lot.

Time is the key to determining the victory of this battle. If the next batch of troops of the newly formed 6th Army cannot be recaptured by Xuzhou Airport before the arrival of the next batch of troops, the entire war will be increasingly unfavorable to me, and Nofuji Yushiro understands this.

After walking around in his command center and thinking repeatedly, Nodoshiro asked in a deep voice: "Have the bomber group of the newly formed 6th Army left?"

The Japanese Major stood at attention and replied: "I have left, probably have returned."

Hearing this, Nodo Yushiro was a little relieved and shouted loudly: "Tell me the order and order the Kono United to regain Xuzhou Airport at all costs."

After looking at the time, Nodo Yushiro continued: "Tell Colonel Kano Taro, if you can't retake Xuzhou Airport before 1:00 noon, you will be cut off your stomach."

Upon hearing this, the Japanese Grandpa felt nervous. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and it was only a little over three hours before noon.

...

Xuzhou Airport.

The soldiers were cleaning the airport, clearing out several runways of the airport, cleaning up the small Japanese planes destroyed on the apron, and some soldiers dug trenches on the main road leading to the airport and built fortifications.

Many soldiers heard the explosions faintly from afar. These were 48 "Air Fortress" bombers bombing the Japanese vanguard's vanguard reinforcements.

Time passes by minute by minute.

Commander Wang of the Airborne Regiment looked at the time. It was already past ten:30 in the morning. Commander Wang estimated that a large number of troops from the Japanese might be coming, standing on the roof of an airport building. Looking at the airport, there were many soldiers outside the airport busy.

Commander Wang did not dare to relax at all. This time he was completely experiencing deep behind enemy lines. He was already an isolated army and could only stand firm and wait for the arrival of the next batch of planes.

"Captain, we sent several small reconnaissance teams to investigate the enemy situation near the airport. As long as there are Japanese troops coming, we will know it as soon as possible." A major next to him reported.

Commander Wang nodded and said loudly to the commanders beside him: "Send a report to the military throne again, and report it every ten minutes to report the latest situation."

A commander went to guide the correspondents to send a report in person. Not long after, a captain ran over to report: "Royal, one of our reconnaissance teams sent back the message. A large and small Japanese troops came along the road. It was only about thirty minutes away from us."

Get ready for the battle!

After Commander Wang issued a battle order, he took out his telescope, looked into the distance, and at the end of the airport road, hoping to see the figure of the little Japanese troops.

Not far from here, on the highway, a long Japanese army was marching urgently, with more than a dozen tricycles leading the way, and the Japanese in the brigade were running forward.

Riding in the cab of a big card, the Japanese wing leader Colonel Taro Kono had a stern face. Half an hour ago, Taro Kono received the death order from his division commander and regained Xuzhou Airport at all costs.

The Kono United is closest to Xuzhou Airport. Generally speaking, it takes one and a half hours to reach Xuzhou Airport in a marching situation. Today, the Kono United is much faster than usual.

Suddenly, the team stopped, and Taro Kono, who was already stern, immediately asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

A Japanese officer immediately ran over to report and said anxiously: "Governor Captain, the road section ahead is seriously damaged and our vehicles cannot pass."

Upon hearing this, Taro Kono's face changed and he immediately shouted: "Get out of the car, run forward, hurry up!"

The section ahead was intensively carpet-bombed by the "Air Fortress" bomber more than half an hour ago. The entire section of the road was at least more than two kilometers. This section of the road was beyond recognition, with big pits and corpses of Japanese devils, and vehicles could not pass through.

Taro Kono got out of the car himself, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Soon, the Japanese team began to move again. The Japanese carried their weapons and equipment, panting and sweating profusely.

These Japanese soldiers almost vomited blood. After marching all the way, many Japanese soldiers forced themselves to hold on.

The highway leads to Xuzhou Airport. On both sides of the road close to Xuzhou Airport, there are several gentle small highlands, which are only one or twenty meters higher than the highway and less than a few hundred meters in a radius. If it is normal, such a terrain is inconspicuous, but today it has become the position of soldiers.

It was just a few small high grounds where hundreds of soldiers dug trenches and set up machine guns. Everyone was ready to fight to form the first line of defense. Only two or three hundred meters behind everyone was the huge Xuzhou Airport.

Xuzhou Airport is open all around and the terrain is flat. These small highlands may have been made up of the accumulation of excess mud and stones when the Xuzhou Airport was built in the past and the land was leveled. They were bare and there was not a single sapling.

Several rings of fortifications, one Browning heavy machine gun, another light machine gun was set up one after another, and some ammunition boxes were carried up. In the trenches, the soldiers were holding Garland rifles and Thomson's submachine guns staring at the front of the road.

Behind this position, there are several guardhouses outside Xuzhou Airport two or three hundred meters away. On the guardhouse, a machine gun was set up. The soldiers on the guardhouse were ready to provide fire support for the soldiers on this position.

Commander Wang held a telescope and looked at the position more than 300 meters away in front of him. His face was serious. This was his first line of defense.

"Captain, look, the Japanese have appeared."

He looked forward with a telescope. A large number of Japanese figures appeared at the end of the road. When he looked at the time, it was less than 11 o'clock. The Japanese came and the battle was about to begin. Commander Wang knew that he would have to support him for at least more than three hours from the start of the battle.

On the first line of defense.

The soldiers also saw the Japanese running towards this side. Perhaps because of the urgent time, a Japanese priest held up a commanding knife and directed the Japanese to launch the first round of attacks.

Seeing many Japanese soldiers holding weapons, screaming, and running towards their positions with their neck legs, the soldiers immediately started shooting. At this time, Japanese soldiers were at least more than 300 meters away from the soldiers' positions.

"Brothers, beat me hard!!!"

The soldiers of the airborne regiment are all selected veterans and have rich combat experience. It is impossible for everyone to put the Japanese in the market before fighting. If so many Japanese are placed closer, they may be broken through the defense line by the Japanese.

"Ka, da, da..."

First, the dense machine gun sounded, the light and heavy machine guns sounded, and then the Garland rifle and Thomson submachine guns also sounded one after another. Suddenly, the dense bullets flew out, and the charge Japanese devils fell one by one.

The Japanese were fearless and rushed forward with the dense firepower of the soldiers. So many Japanese killed them and immediately came up. The Japanese charging Japanese were getting closer and closer to the soldiers' positions.

Behind the soldiers, machine guns on the guardhouses also rang one after another. With the firepower of these machine guns, the soldiers barely withstood the Japanese's charge.

The Kono United is on the verge of momentum, and the first charge is very strong, with waves of Japanese devils one after another.

Some grenade launchers were set up and they began to fire grenades on the soldiers' positions, some crooked machine guns, and some Type 92 heavy machine guns were also set up and shot on the soldiers' positions. The soldiers began to suffer casualties.

Seeing that the battle was so tragic at the beginning, Captain Wang did not dare to relax at all. He held his telescope and looked at the battle ahead.

A soldier who was shooting a Browning heavy machine gun died. Another soldier next to him immediately made up and the machine gun continued to shoot.

A soldier lying in a trench shooting was hit by a bullet on the shoulder, and he briefly bandaged it and immediately fought again.

The fierce battle lasted for more than half an hour. The Japanese launched wave after wave of attacks, left hundreds of corpses and finally retreated.

Taro Kono had a blue face and fought countless battles in the entire North China battlefield, and had never been as embarrassed as today. The first time he fought with the newly-edition 6th Army was a crushing defeat.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and hundreds of soldiers who stood on this small position also suffered many casualties. In such a fierce battle, hundreds of soldiers sacrificed their lives. The Japanese attacked like crazy just now.

Seeing the Japanese retreating and leaving a large number of corpses in front of their positions, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. While treating the wounded, the soldiers were replenishing ammunition.

Taro Kono held up his telescope and looked at it for at least several minutes. He saw a large number of machine guns deployed on the soldiers' positions. The soldiers' weapons seemed to be semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons, which were several levels better than his Type 38 rifle. Taro Kono knew that strong attack was not advisable.

After thinking for a long time, Taro Kono prepared to divide his troops and divide his troops into several strands, attacking Xuzhou Airport from different directions. The disadvantage of doing this is that the troops are dispersed and there may be insufficient attacks. The advantage is that the attack is launched at the same time. The limited personnel of the newly formed 6th Army are exhausted from defense and are likely to be broken through by themselves.

Having the idea of ​​dividing troops in his mind, Taro Kono gave his heart's order. The remaining nearly 3,000 Japanese devils in the Kono corps were divided into several groups and prepared to launch an attack on Xuzhou Airport from several directions.

More than a thousand Japanese attackers were attacking from the front, and a field infantry brigade was also ready to attack the flanks of the soldiers' first line of defense.

Facing the new tactics of the Kono United, can the soldiers of the airborne regiment defend it?
