Gao Dong would never have thought that his worries were all unnecessary. At this moment, Nanjing could not send a single bomber at all, and it could not even pose the slightest threat to his troops.

And the internal struggle of the devil also won him an excellent opportunity, and Shunroku Hata was in charge of the aviation unit and ordered the aviation unit not to obey Tada's orders again. It just so happened that the pilots of the aviation forces had just experienced a fiasco, and the psychological shadow had not yet recovered, and their commander agreed with him.

In fact, even Tada Jun himself did not intend to continue to send the air force to attack Gaodong's troops, and until he figured out what the so-called "mobile anti-aircraft gun" was, killing him would not continue to let the plane attack Gaodong at the risk of being destroyed.

When the Japanese hesitated, Gao Dong took advantage of this short opportunity to lead the cavalry to the city of Xuzhou.

Looking at Xuzhou, who had been absent for several years, Gao Dong couldn't help but feel emotional. I wanted to be high-spirited at the beginning, and led the independent brigade here to fight against a strong enemy with Li Zongren's Fifth War Zone. In and out of Shandong, bombed the military port, seized supplies, and united in Taierzhuang, the army almost wiped out the two A divisions of the devil.

The past has long passed, and Xuzhou has long been occupied by the Japanese. Looking at the devil plaster flags scattered all over the city, Gao Dong had an urge to pull them out one by one.

"Captain, are you ready to attack?" Lin Fan asked as he rode his horse beside Gao Dong.

"No hurry, no hurry!" Gao Dong smiled faintly: "Since you have arrived here, let's make the devils in the city nervous for a while." We're cavalry, and it's okay to charge into battle, but it's not our forte. Wait for the armored troops to come, and let them open a way for our cavalry to enter the city and kill them! ”

The speed of the cavalry far outpaced the armoured troops, and although Jones said that the tanks he had built were traveling at more than fifty kilometers per hour, that was on flat ground.

If you go off-road, you can go at a maximum speed of 30 km/h. Coupled with the fact that self-propelled guns, which were a little slower than tanks, the overall speed of the armored forces was slowed down.

Gao Dong yelled at Li Maolin, who was not far away: "When the people of the armored forces rush out of the way, the following will be handed over to you." Listening to you boast to me all day long about how powerful your cavalry is, my ears are going to grind out calluses. Cowhide is not blown, if you don't give me a good fight today, I will withdraw you. ”

Li Maolin laughed: "Deputy commander, my cavalry brigade commander is not in vain, we have the blood of Genghis Khan and his old man in our bones, and I am also half a Mongolian." I've been dealing with horseback for half my life, and if I didn't have any real skills, you wouldn't have poached me. ”

Gao Dong laughed: "Okay, I don't care about anything." Fight Xuzhou today, you will take the main attack! ”

Saying that, Gao Dong flashed to the side with the people of the Sky Wolf Commando, and only Xiaobai was still standing proudly at the front of the cavalry team, as if he wanted to steal the limelight with Li Maolin, the commander of the real cavalry brigade.

"Did you hear that? Our deputy commander wonders if our cavalry is eating dry food! If you don't have a rice bucket, tighten my belt a little tighter, grab your sabers, and then rush into the city with me to cut the devils!" ”

Li Maolin shouted loudly: "Tell our deputy commander, are you a bad seed?" ”

"No, no, no......" All the cavalry let out an earth-shattering roar, murderous, and seemed to have rushed into the blood-spattered battlefield.

Gao Dong smiled and pointed at Li Maolin: "This guy is really good at boosting morale, he is a good man, worthy of being half a Mongolian man." ”

Li Maolin pulled out the cavalry sword, and the oblique blade slashed a shining arc in the air, and the sunlight printed turned dark gold. The next moment, all the cavalry raised their special cavalry assault rifles, which were specially designed for cavalry by John according to Gao Dong's instructions, which could be used as an assault rifle, and could be used as a hammer after the gun body was reversed, which was simply a special artifact for cavalry.

"Give me a line to pull away, Pu Pinghui, bring your group to me as the main attacker, and the rest follow behind the group, rush into the city, and kill the devils cleanly!" Li Maolin raised his sword to the sky.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The earth-shattering roar echoed in front of Xuzhou City, and even the birds and beasts in the distant forest were shaken away by this roar.

At this moment, Xuzhou City, compared with the morale of the independent army troops outside the city, is a different scene inside. There were devils and puppet troops running around everywhere, and many troops were pulled to the defensive line in a hurry, and even the commander could not find his own troops.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the devils and puppet soldiers stationed here, Gao Dong's speed is too fast. The Devil's Command received an order from their superiors to strengthen the city's defense and defend it to the end a moment ago, and the outside of the city was already full of cavalry of the Independent Army.

The devils and the puppet army hurriedly mobilized all the troops they could, and even the logistics troops were transferred to dig trenches outside the city, hoping to barely dig a trench that could be defended temporarily before the independent army attacked.

The residents of the city are hiding in their homes, all the shops on the street are closed today, and everyone is peeking through the cracks in the windows to see the embarrassment of the Japanese puppet army. Since the devils occupied Xuzhou, this is the first time that people have seen the Japanese puppet army so embarrassed.

"The end of the little devils is coming, and I know that their days will not be long! What do you think? Our troops are back! In a private house, a man who looked like an old pedant shook his head and said.

"Shut up for me, old man, don't you want to die?" A middle-aged woman stepped forward and grabbed the man's ear and scolded: "Now that the devil hasn't left, don't you know how many people they have killed who chew the root of their tongues?" ”

The old pedant probably mustered up his courage for the first time in his life, shook off his wife's hand, straightened his waist and said, "The end of the devil is coming, it's coming!" Look, when did they ever panic? It shows that the army outside the city makes the devils afraid to death, they themselves are almost finished, do they still want to bully us Chinese? If you want him to kill him, I'm not afraid! ”

His voice grew higher and higher, and the family was so frightened that they covered his mouth.

Like the scene that happened in this private house, there were too many things happening in every household in the city, and everyone was talking about what kind of troops came from outside the city, which could make the devils who had always been proud and arrogant and seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth scared like this, and some of the devils were not even dressed properly, obviously just pulled up from the bed, and hurriedly ran out of the city.

But no matter where the army outside the city is, the residents of the city are secretly excited, because looking at the situation, the end of the devil is coming. Xuzhou is about to get rid of the clutches of devils!

On the edge of the city, in a makeshift wooden house, it served as a temporary command center for Xuzhou operations.

It was only a matter of ten minutes for the devils and the puppet army to move the headquarters from the huge office in the city, and there were even many devil sappers working urgently on the outside of the wooden house to prevent the temporary wooden house from collapsing.

If Gao Dong was here at this time, he might be able to recognize at a glance who the person sitting in the headquarters was. This person he was all too familiar with, it was the Japanese officer who was the first to be defeated by him at Dawang Mountain.

Yuichi Yamazaki touched his forehead in distress, the cold sweat had already wet his palms, along with his back.

Ever since Dawang Mountain was beaten by Gao Dong and fled, Yuichi Yamazaki has always vowed that one day in the future, he will make Gao Dong pay for the shame he gave him at the beginning, and return the honor taken from him with interest.

To this end, he fought on the battlefield with all his might, and because of his outstanding achievements, he was promoted from a wing commander who lost all his subordinates to a wing commander of a mixed wing equivalent to the strength of two wings.

But the more he was promoted, the deeper his fear of Gao Dong became. The myths about Gao Dong spread among the Japanese army are becoming more and more magical, and some troops even say that Gao Dong is an evil god from hell who specializes in harvesting the lives of the living.

Only Yuichi Yamazaki knew how powerful that person was, and Gao Dong was able to beat him with his tail and run away with some bandits, and he was so embarrassed that he was almost beaten and didn't even have his pants left. Now Gao Dong is leading thousands of cavalry, almost the same as his strength.

At the beginning, he had the advantage of absolute strength, and he was not beaten by Gao Dong and fled. Now that the forces are equal, the opponent is still a cavalry that is good at attacking, which is equivalent to announcing his end in front of Yuichi Yamazaki.

"Your Excellency, the cavalry of the Independence Army has lined up outside the city. But he didn't attack for a long time, what is this for? Could it be that they are arrogant enough to wait for us to set up a formation before attacking? A large Zuo asked anxiously.

Today, Yuichi Yamazaki is the co-commander of the mixed wing, with more than 8,000 troops under his command, equivalent to a division commander of the Chinese army, and his military rank has also been promoted to major general.

In fact, this is also a helpless thing, the devil wants to control a large area of Chinese land, and suddenly finds that the original formed troops are not enough at all. Therefore, we can only expand the number of troops on the basis of the original troops, and create these nondescript mixed troops.

In fact, many of the soldiers were from Korea, Taiwan and other places that had been occupied by the Japanese army for a long time. The Japanese believed in the soldiers from these places even more, because they believed that those who came out of the colonies that had been ruled for a long time would be loyal to Japan. Many of Yuichi Yamazaki's mixed wings were soldiers from these occupied areas.

"How do I know what they're going to do, you ask me?" Yuichi Yamazaki wanted to say this to his subordinates, but he was the supreme commander of Xuzhou, and saying such a thing would dissipate the morale of his subordinates.

"They were cavalry, and perhaps it was too tiring to run long distances on horses. Rest, rest, maybe they're going to attack! Yuichi Yamazaki made up a sentence casually, but after saying it, even he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

They are cavalrymen, and they are rushing here to seize control of the city, and they are resting.

But the words have been spoken, and it is useless to redeem them. Yuichi Yamazaki suddenly raised his head and said to his subordinates: "Everyone, we are ordered to defend Xuzhou to the death, and no reinforcements will come to support us." The commander's order is that the last man will fight to the death to defend this place, do you have any faith? ”

"Yes!" All the officers present shouted loudly.

Yuichi Yamazaki suddenly had a tumbling in his heart, it seemed that the soldiers of the empire were still bloody, and couldn't help asking: "Okay, then which one is willing to take the troops and take the lead in attacking when the enemy has not gained a firm foothold?" ”
