"Restoring the runway?"

Hearing Commander Fang's order, Regiment Commander Xu's eyes widened, he looked around at the airport behind him, and his tone was full of incredulity:

"Now?"

His position was on the periphery of the airport to block the devils, but the devils' artillery fire continued to fall in the airport, which caused the runway to be very seriously damaged, a series of craters all over the runway, and they could not suppress the devils' artillery fire, so they could only let the devils continue to shell.

Now the devil's artillery fire is still continuing, and it is estimated that the fifth round of attack may be about to begin, and at this time, the shells are still falling in the airfield.

In other words, they have to brave the artillery fire of the devils and repair the airport runway against the attacks of the devils.

What is the situation at this airport?

The devil's attack at any cost, five consecutive attacks in one day, and they are all brigade-level group charges, and their own army commander is also an order to guard at any cost?

Could it be that whether the troops can hold Hengyang depends on this airport?

And also.

Who are they?

"Yes."

Commander Fang gritted his teeth and said to the guard battalion behind him and the people he had gathered:

"Fix the airport at any cost, now, now."

The planes of the Separate Regiment had already taken off and would land in an hour, and he had to make sure that the airfield would be able to land the planes.

This is Hengyang's only chance.

The Tenth Army under his command was only 17,000 men, and the supplies were insufficient, the reinforcements were scattered, and the support was far away, and the devils had 55,000 people, and the number of troops would be more and more, according to the information he had, and the total strength of the devils could reach 100,000.

The difference in strength is too big.

Without the support of the Independent Regiment, what did he hold onto.

Moreover, through some clues, he sensed that after the Americans stopped bombing Japan and began to retreat, there seemed to be a voice in the fruit preserved that they were planning to give up some territory and retreat to the mountain city area, prompting the Japanese to work hard with them and finally reap the benefits of the fishermen.

In that case, then he is not to blame.

He did not allow hundreds of thousands of square meters of land in the Changheng area, and nearly 10 million people became outcasts, just like the garden mouth back then.

"Yes."

The commander of the guard battalion behind him immediately led people to start repairing the airfield.

At this time, the devil's shells were still falling in a steady stream, but fortunately, the devil's main shelling sites were all peripheral positions, and there were not many shells that fell in the airfield, and the maintenance work was very smooth.

"This airport is our only chance to hold Hengyang."

Commander Fang looked at Commander Xu in front of him and added.

"Commander, Commander."

Before Commander Xu could speak, suddenly, a herald rushed up:

"The devil is rushing up again."

"Fuck."

Commander Xu was a veteran under Commander Fang, and when he saw his own commander's eyes, he suddenly understood.

As the commander of the regiment, he can naturally know some things, the group of people who fought against Japan with Guoguo are now complete with aircraft, artillery and tanks, and their equipment is only luxurious, even comparable to the Americans' own troops, and the Guoguo Expeditionary Force is far from being comparable.

And Songxian, more than 400 kilometers away from Hengyang, appeared in that group of people.

He immediately drew his matching gun:

"Brothers, follow me."

"Wait a minute."

Commander Fang stopped Commander Xu, stepped forward, shook Commander Xu's hand, and stuffed his own gun to him:

"Be sure to hold the airport."

The devils surrounded Hengyang on all sides, and the direction of attack was undecided, resulting in him having to deploy defenses on all sides, and his troops were seriously insufficient, but after squeezing in, he was still able to draw out more than 3,000 people to guard the airport.

He actually had a battalion, a reserve of more than 500 people.

But this battalion was used when preparing for the landing of the planes of the independent regiment, and at that time it was necessary to repel the devils and give the planes space and time to land.

"Yes."

Regiment Commander Xu grabbed the gun handed over by the director, glanced at the soldiers who braved the artillery fire to repair the airport, and the volunteers left behind in Hengyang, took a deep breath, saluted fiercely, and then rushed to the position without looking back.

At the same time, the artillery fire gradually stopped, and in the distance, rows of devils rushed towards the airport in a straggler line, like waves of yellow surges.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle was triggered again.

An hour later, under the white-knuckle battle personally led by Regiment Commander Xu, the fifth attack of the devils was repulsed again, and in front of the position, a corpse of the devil was left, of course, there were also the corpses of the soldiers of the 30th regiment.

In terms of numbers, the 30th Regiment was even more, the firepower was weak, and there was a lack of strong positions, and the Hengyang defenders fought a very difficult battle.

"Dog's day little devil."

Seeing the devil receding like a tide, Regiment Leader Xu got up from an old crater.

His uniform was full of holes, dirty, chestnut mud mixed with the red of the bloodstains, hideous and desolate.

After scolding the little devil every day, he spat out the dirt in his mouth, put away the pistol given by the commander, glanced at the new crater beside him, and then reached out and pulled out the shrapnel stuck in his left arm.

When the devil retreated, the devil launched a seamless artillery bombardment, and a mountain artillery shell hit a distance of more than ten meters around him, although he escaped in time to escape in the crater on the side, but his left arm was still hit by a shrapnel.

Fortunately, this was a shrapnel that was stirred up by the explosion, and it was not very lethal, only a little muscle and epidermis were punctured.

"Count the casualties of the battalions."

After organizing the troops to retreat to the anti-artillery holes behind, Regiment Commander Xu ordered the staff officers to count the casualties.

"The regiment commander is still alive, about nine hundred and fifty people, and there are three hundred people in the regimental headquarters guard battalion."

In a hurry, the staff officer could only count an approximate figure.

"Dog's day little devil."

Hearing the numbers, Head Xu scolded again.

In just half a day and more than six hours of fighting, only half of his regiment of nearly 2,000 people remained.

"Send the seriously wounded to the city."

Glancing at the position that was once again caught in artillery fire, and the devils who were gradually approaching in the distance, Regiment Commander Xu gritted his teeth and pulled out the matching gun sent by the commander again:

"Inform me again, as long as the 30th regiment is able to move, take the gun for Lao Tzu, and load the bullets·····"

·······

At the same time.

"Report, the defenders of Hengyang are repairing the runway of the airport."

Isamu Yokoyama also received an observation report from the front.

"Restoring the runway?"

Then Isamu Yokoyama actually laughed.

One of his full-fledged infantry wings, supported by two artillery brigades, was attacking the airfield, and five consecutive group charges were not taken, and the Jade Shattered Imperial Army had a brigade, which made him very angry.

The defenders of Hengyang were determined to guard the airport, which made him feel a little strange.

At this time, this news finally made him understand.

"Command."

Isamu Yokoyama continued to order:

"Heavy artillery brigade, launch an artillery bombardment of Hengyang airport."

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head to convey the order.

At the same time, a staff officer walked in:

"Commander, a fleet of transport aircraft was found thirty kilometers away from the flank, about fifty of them."

······

Boom Boom...

The violent explosion took off at Hengyang Airport, flying off the runway that had just been leveled, blowing up new craters one after another, and also causing the whole person of Commander Fang near the airport to explode:

"Dog's day little devil."

As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the table.

"Let the planes of the Separate Regiment go back!"

Cai Jigang looked at the airport in front of him and immediately said:

"This airport can no longer support the landing of planes, and if the plane lands, it will be forced to land, and the plane will inevitably be damaged, so they will be changed to airdrop."

The airdrop of materials will be much less than that of direct landing, and it will not be possible to airdrop heavy weapons, only light weapons, and it is easy to fall on the devil's position, but this is the only way.

Otherwise, it will be the plane that will be lost.

"Send a telegram."

Commander Fang also sighed helplessly.

According to the information of the independent regiment, the first transports will bring them heavy artillery, which can suppress the heavy artillery of the devils. There were also a large number of machine guns, as well as a large number of Mauser pointed bullets.

But now, these heavy guns are gone, machine guns and bullets are gone.

In the command room of the airport, everyone who knew about it also sighed.

Tick tock·····

The radio sound sounded behind everyone, and after contacting Cai Jigang, the Independent Regiment and the Tenth Army exchanged a simple codebook, and the telegraph operator quickly completed the delivery, but immediately after, he received a telegram.

"Commander, the independent regiment is calling."

The telegraph operator looked at the new telegram in his hand, and his tone was a little incredulous.

"What did they say?"

Commander Fang asked.

They said.

The telegraph operator swallowed his throat:

"The situation at Hengyang Airport is already known, the crew will continue to land, fifty transport planes, a total of eight 105 new mountain guns, 10 120 mortars, three base shells, one hundred general-purpose machine guns, and one million rounds of ammunition are about to land."

"We just need to make sure there are no devils in the airport."

"What?"

Commander Fang and Cai Jiheng were shocked:

"They're going to land? Crazy? Don't want a plane? ”

The current Hengyang Airport can indeed land, but after coming down, all the planes will be scrapped, and in order to transport this material, fifty planes will be lost?

As the words fell, fifty transport planes had already appeared in the distance.

"Command."

Gritting his teeth, Commander Fang ordered:

"The remaining troops of the guard battalion support the front line, drive the devils out, and the rest of the people, urgently repair the airport."

After speaking, he personally took a shovel and joined the airport maintenance team, and Cai Jigang also carried an ordnance shovel and began to repair the runway.

With his order, a guard battalion of more than five hundred people joined the battlefield.

After the battalion of guards, generally armed with submachine guns, joined the battle, the sixth round of the devil's attack was quickly repulsed, and even the defenders attacked some distance.

At this time, fifty transport planes also began to land, gradually reducing their altitude. As for some of the attack planes escorting the escort, they began to suppress the anti-aircraft fire of the surrounding devils and clear the airspace for the transport planes.

Lower the landing gear, the speed is reduced, the height is reduced.

Bang····

Although it has been repaired, the runway has been potholed, but fortunately, the belly of the transport plane is strong, and all the planes have fallen in the airport by relying on the belly of the plane to make a forced landing.

Fortunately, even though almost all the planes had their landing gear cracked, their belly skin peeled off, their propellers fell, their wings snapped, and some even overturned, none of them exploded or were damaged.

Of course, this also has something to do with the release of oil before landing.

······

"Quick."

The plane had not yet stopped, and he was so anxious that Commander Fang, who was full of distress, immediately rushed up with people:

"Save people and supplies."

The other side.

"Yo Si."

Looking at the fifty transport planes that fell, Isamu Yokoyama was full of smiles:

"Although the defenders of Hengyang received some supplies, the independent regiment also lost fifty aircraft."

"No loss!"

"Order the troops."

Then he looked at the sky, and it was just afternoon, and commanded:

"Continue the offensive and be sure to occupy Hengyang Airport."
