The four brigades of Japanese troops fought their own battles, and Xiao Yat was naturally happy to see this situation. In the airport, there are still fighters in the hangar on the tarmac and those aviation kerosene have almost all been reimbursed, and their task is considered to be excellent, and it is not wise to continue to fight. He gave an order, and when he landed, the wolf's tooth special forces were reduced to pieces and quickly blended into the night. Behind them were the Japanese troops clamoring for a decisive battle with a sneak attack force, and then the airfield that continued to explode.

Xiao Yi was the last to withdraw from the battle area, his right hand holding a smoke bomb that had been unscrewed on the safety cover, in front of him, more than a dozen student loaches disappeared into the night, he looked back at the burning and exploding airport, and said in his heart: "Little devil, see you again!" With his left hand, he pulled the ring and threw the smoke bomb with his right hand.

There were still five minutes left at four o'clock, and just as dawn began to break in the east, the wolf fangs withdrew from the airport area and began to assemble in the agreed direction, the Great King Temple.

The fire was still raging, and when Tokugawa Yoshitoshi arrived at the airport, he saw one fighter plane after another burning in the flames, and the fighters in the hangar continued to explode, he only felt a cramping pain in his heart, and a large bead of sweat the size of a soybean instantly secreted from his face, and the whole person sat down on the ground. "It's over!" At this time, he only had this thought in his heart, this "Yamato samurai" who once flew into the sky with Japan's first fighter plane, was like a soft-footed crab at this time, and he didn't even have the strength to stand.

Anyone who is lucky enough to see the scene of the explosion at Anqing Airport will never forget it in this life. Commander Tokugawa fell to the ground, his adjutant, and some officers had to stand up and quickly organize soldiers to fight the fire, trying to rescue one or two fighters, however, even though Anqing Airport has complete firefighting facilities, but in the face of aviation kerosene drums that explode from time to time and monstrous fires, even if they are prepared to dedicate themselves, they can only look at the fire and sigh, and then they are extremely frustrated and frenzied - without the coordinated command of Bucheon's ambition, several captains fought separately and began to expand the search around, I want to find an enemy and fight with one of them, so that I feel better. However, the enemy who sneaked up on them seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and as they continued to expand their search area, they never found a trace, which undoubtedly deepened their fears—what kind of enemy was this? It's really terrifying that the dragon can't see the head but the tail.

The Second Air Corps had a total of more than 200 fighters in two wings, and under the direct command of Okamura Ninji, it was once the sharpest weapon in Okamura Ninji's hands, but now, this sharp weapon has turned into a pile of scrap metal in the monstrous fire. Seeing that the fire was irretrievable, and there were few of the two hundred and sixteen fighters left, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, who had woken up, was heartbroken and hurried to call Okamura Ninji.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night for Okamura Ninji. If it was usual, he would still be asleep at this time, but today, this is the fourth time he has received a call with bad news. When the old devil heard that Anqing Airport was attacked and all the fighters were burned, he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was stupid.

Anqing was subordinate to the 2nd Army because of the existence of the 2nd Air Corps. Okamura Ninji attached great importance to the security of the aviation regiment, so although the total strength of the Anqing garrison was only about six brigades, he placed four of them at the airfield, and only two brigades were arranged along the river. The two brigades were commanded by Wing Commander Khanji Yuen Long, and the main positions and headquarters were located at Tai Wong Temple.

In the operational plan that Ouyang Yun participated in formulating, the airport sabotage battle and the river-crossing landing battle were carried out almost simultaneously. As a result, almost at the same time as the sound of gunfire at Anqing Airport, Wubao Jiang was still stationed in two places, and the infantry of nearly three divisions of the Cadet Army first began to cross the river. Twenty minutes later, when the first landing force succeeded in seizing the beach and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, the tank unit and the 16th Brigade also began to cross the river.

The defense of Anqing along the river was personally arranged by Kyoche Yuen Long. Keeji Yuen Long did not expect that the Chinese army would dare to take the initiative to attack, and its strength was limited, so he only deployed one squadron of troops at Changfeng opposite Wubao Jiang and Shiji on the opposite side. In order to prepare for this battle of crossing the river, Ouyang Yun specially asked Xue Yue to greet the local government and recruited many fishing boats. Although the carrying capacity of these fishing boats was limited, because the Cadet Corps' river-crossing operation was launched suddenly, the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet and the garrison had not yet reacted, and the advance troops of the Cadet Corps had already successfully landed, and once they landed successfully and successfully established a beachhead, the Japanese would no longer be able to contain the Cadet Corps' landing operation.

"Commander-in-chief, the Sixth and Eighth Divisions have just sent a telegram that their advance force has successfully landed in Changfeng."

"Commander-in-chief, the 13th Division sent a telegram that they had successfully landed on the Shiji River beach."

One telegram after another sent the latest battle situation on the front line to Ouyang Yun, and Ouyang Yun, who had not slept all night, and was already a little sleepy, immediately came to his senses. He put on his coat and walked out of the headquarters, stood at the door and looked eastward, and then said to Chen Shichang: "Give them a telegram, let them not be busy annihilating the Japanese army, just speed up the crossing of the river, once the dawn and the Japanese Yangtze River fleet is dispatched, the operation of crossing the river will be much more difficult!" ”

"Yes!"

"Xiao Yat, do they have a telegram back?"

"Not yet!" As soon as Chen Shichang finished saying this, Huang Hua suddenly ran out of the communication room in a hurry, and when he saw Ouyang Yun, he shouted: "Commander-in-chief, good news, Deputy Brigade Commander Xiao has just sent a telegram, the 'Night Hunting' operation has been very successful, and Anqing Airport has become a sea of fire!" ”

The key to the success of this river-crossing operation depends on the exertion of the chariot units. Whether the chariot unit can become the protagonist of this battle of crossing the river depends on whether Xiao Yi and they can successfully attack Anqing Airport. Ouyang Yun smiled when he heard this, and said sincerely: "Okay! Tell Xiao Yat that they did a good job and let them wait for orders after assembling at the Dawang Temple! ”

"Yes!"

The "Night Hunting" operation was the key to the success of this battle to cross the river, and when he heard the news of the success of the operation, Chen Shichang also showed a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, next, we should step up the construction of the Madang and Hukou positions. It is believed that it will not be long before the Japanese army will launch a large-scale offensive. ”

Ouyang Yun clasped his shoulders with his conceited hands, and said confidently: "I can't ask for it!" I hope Ninji Okamura doesn't disappoint me! ”

Changfeng and Shiji appeared one after another, and they were all large units of the Xuebing Army, and when Keiji Yuanlang got the report, he was immediately stupid. There were a large number of enemy troops along the river in Anqing, so there was only one result, that is, the people of China launched a counterattack. This was a great matter, and it was not something that a small wing commander could bear, and he did not dare to be careless, so he immediately reported directly to the headquarters of the 2nd Army and asked for support and instructions.

Okamura Ninji was woken up from his sleep by the staff officer on duty, and when he heard the news, he was first taken aback, and hurriedly climbed to the map, and when he personally used a two-colored pencil to paint the green color representing the student army on the point of Anqing, he was shocked. The Japanese executives in the headquarters of the 2nd Army had already gotten up at this time, and they walked into the headquarters one after another, watching His Excellency the Commander doing his homework on the map, and their faces were surprisingly cold.

Putting down the pencil, Okamura Ningji glanced at everyone and said, "The information sent from the front shows that Ouyang Yun dispatched a total of three divisions in order to defeat Anqing, do you think it is possible?" ”

The strength of the Cadet Army's northward legion has long been reconnoitred by the Japanese army, with a total of five and a half divisions, pure infantry. At present, in the Pengze area, the Japanese army has three and a half divisions, the Yangtze River Fleet, and two wings of air force, which occupy an absolute advantage in both quantity and quality. Madang Fortress is strong and difficult to bite, but with huge cannons on the Yangtze River and fighter planes in the sky, Okamura Ningji is still confident that he will take it.

He did not lose his cool because of Anqing's loss, and the first thing he thought of was whether he could take the opportunity to capture Madang. If the Cadet Army has the power to defend Madang and is concerned about its combat strength, Okamura Ninji is not yet determined to go down in one go, but now, since it only has two and a half divisions left, it is believed that he can launch a sea, land and air offensive with three times the number of troops.

After calming down and thinking for a few minutes, Okamura Ningji resolutely made a decision: "Ouyang Yun took the initiative to attack Anqing at this time, obviously wanting to destroy the current layout of our army and wanting to attack as defense. But he forgot that compared to Madang, Anqing is actually a dispensable existence. If it weren't for the fact that the Second Air Corps was in Anqing, we could even have abandoned Anqing. Pass on my order, ordering Kyeongji Yuen Long to abandon the Yangtze River, retreat to Chaling, and fully cooperate with the airport defense force to defend the airport. In addition, he sent a telegram to the headquarters of the dispatch army, asking General Shunroku Hata to provide support and send troops to support Anqing. If we want to take Madang in one fell swoop, we can't disperse our forces to Anqing. ”

"Hay!" After receiving the order, the Japanese staff officers forwarded the orders one after another. And Okamura Ninji stood in front of the map, continuing his previous train of thought, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Defeat the Xuebing Army, kill or even capture Ouyang Yun alive, what a brilliant martial art! Originally, he still had to wait for the opportunity, but now, Ouyang Yun took the initiative to send the opportunity-Okamura Ningji thought so, as if he had seen the scene of his being recalled to China and personally rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor-Okamura Ningji was daydreaming, and a communications staff officer suddenly ran in in a hurry, his face was pale, his soul was lost, and he even forgot the minimum etiquette. As soon as he saw Okamura Ninji, he shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, something is wrong, Commander Tokugawa called, Anqing, Anqing Airport was attacked by the Shina people!" ”

"What?" Okamura asked sharply.

The staff officer was frightened by the expression of His Excellency the commander, and he said in confusion: "Anqing, Anqing Airport, was attacked by the Zhina, sneak attack!" ”

"Ahh Okamura Ninji yelled and sat down, and suddenly he stood up nervously and shouted loudly: "How is the battle damage, how many planes have been damaged, has Tokugawa reported it?" ”

"All, His Excellency Commander Tokugawa said that all fighters ......" The staff officer's voice became quieter and quieter, because he found that the commander's face was getting whiter and redder, and he was so frightened that he could not speak.
