Ye Feng said goodbye, and everyone stood up to see him off.

On the huge grassland in Wangjiaping, the C-47 transport aircraft has been adjusted, and several pilots have been prepared to take off. Ye Feng boarded the plane with Zhao Long and others.

Ye Feng stood at the cabin door and waved to everyone who saw him. Soon, the cabin began to close, the plane propeller began to roar, and the strong airflow blows a large amount of dead grass on the ground. The plane also began to move slowly, and its speed gradually accelerates.

Deputy Commander Nie and others watched the plane bumping on the grass, with grass clippings and flying dust all over the sky, and everyone almost raised their hearts to their throats. Everyone was worried about Ye Feng whether such a situation could take off safely.

Ye Feng was riding in the plane and felt the plane's violent bumps. Ye Feng looked serious. This situation was a great test for the skills of these pilots, and it was also a great test for the quality and performance of the plane.

Fortunately, this lawn is long enough. If you want to build an airport here in the future, it will save a lot of trouble. The flat ground is almost no longer necessary. After a little repair, it will be a standard small airport.

Amid everyone's worried and nervous eyes, the plane gradually accelerated, and finally left the ground and flew towards the distant sky.

A pilot who drove the plane pulled the joystick and roared as if something was in his heart and needed to vent. As soon as the plane left the ground, it suddenly got much better and the violent bumps disappeared immediately.

When he was riding on this plane, he saw that the plane finally took off safely. Ye Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking outside the cabin, Ye Feng thought to himself that this plane had been done like this. It was originally a new plane, but I was afraid that it would be overhauled soon after this time.

Ye Feng was helpless when he came to the base of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army in person. At present, he had too few troops in his hands. In addition, if he wanted someone to help, it would be impossible not to come here in person. It seemed unofficial and a little bit arrogant. He looked down on others.

"The matter has finally been settled. Don't worry about the Japanese who are going south to reinforce the Zaozhuang area." Ye Feng thought to himself.

The plane flew higher and higher, and the further away the plane, gradually exceeding everyone's sight. Until it was no longer visible. Commander Nie and others did not withdraw their gaze for a long time, and they could not imagine that Ye Feng had just arrived at his 115th Division in person and promised to give so many weapons and equipment.

Thinking of so many weapons and equipment, Commander Nie felt excited.

......

On the road from Jining to Xuzhou, the area on the west side of Weishan Lake.

A large-scale chariot unit was rumbling, raising dust all over the sky. The red plaster signs were very obvious on these tanks and armored vehicles. There were also several dazzling plaster flags flying high in the middle of the convoy. This was the first brigade of the chariots of the Central China Front Army of Japan.

The commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade Akira Hirada was riding in his armored vehicle. With the bumpy armored vehicle, he had been moving for more than three hours. The sun in the distance had already set a little west, and it was already afternoon.

After looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. If everything goes well, you will arrive in Xuzhou in more than two hours. As soon as you reach Xuzhou, the battle will begin. So, Hirata Jung loudly said to a Japanese officer next to him: "Order the chariot group to stop moving forward and rest for half an hour. Everyone should hurry up and refuel, and then go to Xuzhou at full speed after half an hour."

"Hi!"

The Japanese officer immediately answered loudly and then issued an order outside. Gradually, the huge group of chariots of the First Brigade of the War Tanks began to stop.

In some tanks, the Japanese in armored vehicles came out to breathe and marched for more than three hours in a row. These Japanese almost complained and just took the opportunity to breathe.

Some accompanying tankers began to refuel tanks or armored vehicles. A Japanese Major General Akira Hirada, accompanied by several Japanese officers, walked off his armored vehicle with white gloves and commanding knives, and looked at his huge group of chariots, and felt proud.

"His brigade commander, our current location is here, and the trip is half over." A Japanese officer opened the map and pointed at the map.

"Yoxi! Everyone rest for half an hour and set off quickly. We must arrive in Xuzhou before 7 o'clock in the evening to annihilate all the newly formed 6th Army troops at Xuzhou Airport." Akira Hirata said.

"Brigate Commander, according to the information, the newly formed 6th Army's troops at Xuzhou Airport are all light infantry. Once we rush over, they must have died." A Japanese master next to him said loudly with a happy look on his face.

Hirata also had some expectations in his heart. He had heard of all the rumors about the newly formed 6th Army in the past. As a major general of the North China Front Army, Hirata had also heard of some. In addition, many Japanese troops were annihilated in front of the newly formed 6th Army. If this time he could defeat the newly formed 6th Army, Hirata believed that his name would definitely be famous in the Japanese military.

The newly formed 6th Army troops in the Xuzhou Airport area are basically light infantry. Hirata Akira knew that he had a rare opportunity and decided in his heart that he would seize this rare opportunity to win a beautiful victory.

In the sky, a reconnaissance plane was hovering. After a few reconnaissance circles, the reconnaissance plane gradually faded away. This was the reconnaissance plane of the newly formed 6th Army, which took off from Xuzhou Airport and reconnaissed the enemy situation within a radius of 200 kilometers with Xuzhou as the center.

Seeing this reconnaissance plane, Hirata's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Damn it, it's the reconnaissance plane of the China Team again. Since setting off from Jining, Hirata's reconnaissance plane has been discovered by Hirata's reconnaissance plane of the China Team for the third time.

Hirata thought to himself that the new 6th Army must have known his whereabouts, but he soon felt relieved. It was difficult for such a large-scale operation to let the new 6th Army know, and it was impossible to hide it at all. In addition, Hirata thought, what if the new 6th Army knew that he was coming?

......

The sun gradually tilted westward.

Five or sixty kilometers northwest of Xuzhou City, there were more than twenty half-tracked m3 infantry fighting vehicles parked, more than a dozen off-road vehicles, and about hundreds of soldiers were busy.

This is the newly compiled soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Third Infantry Division of the 6th Army. The soldiers are burying landmines on the road that must be passed by this small Japanese chariot brigade. It seems that the soldiers have been burying landmines here for a while.

More than an hour ago, the soldiers arrived here, and each car brought a large number of anti-tank mines. After the soldiers arrived here, they immediately buried anti-tank mines with engineer shovels. After each mine was buried, they carefully eliminated all traces. Even if they looked closely, it was difficult to see that mines were buried here.

In order to slow down the itinerary of the First Brigade of the Japanese Tanks, Ye Feng sent a soldier from an engineer company to arrive here in armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, etc., and lay landmines in this area.

Anti-tank mines were developed by the Germans in 1918. In 1916, tanks appeared on the battlefield of World War I, which led to the birth of anti-tank mines. The Germans, who were most threatened by tanks, morally converted shells into anti-tank mines in 1918. Two standardized anti-tank mines were subsequently developed. They used to deal with British and French tanks and achieved certain results.

In later World War II, the tanks damaged by mines in the Alliance accounted for 21% of the entire damaged tanks. In the Korean War and Vietnam War, the tanks damaged by mines in the US military accounted for 70% of the entire damaged tanks. In the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, both hostile sides used anti-tank mines as an important anti-tank weapon in actual combat.

Generally, tanks have the thickest front armor, followed by side armor, and slightly thinner rear. The top and bottom are the thinnest. This is through practical experience, the front of the tank is the most vulnerable to attack. Therefore, the front is the thickest; then when designing, the bottom that is least vulnerable to attack is made thinner, in order to exchange the minimum weight for the maximum protection. Anti-tank mines specialize in tank fatal holes, and one blow is fatal.

Anti-tank mines are cost-effective, and the exchange price in the "Nuwa" system is also very cheap. Ye Feng exchanged a large number of anti-tank mines and sent a total of three or four such troops to lay mines on the road that Japan must pass.

The number of people buried in each unit reached hundreds. In order to bury these mines, Ye Feng also exchanged dozens of m3 semi-tracked combat vehicles and dozens of off-road vehicles accordingly.

With these vehicles, the soldiers who buried landmines quickly maneuvered and quickly arrived at the designated area. In addition, if they encountered Japanese devils, the soldiers could also break through quickly. The firepower of the m3 half-tracked combat vehicle was not weak.

This army is just one of them. These soldiers will skillfully bury landmines one by one, forming dozens of small-scale minefields in this area, each minefield is at least two or more mines, and some small minefields reach the scale of one or two hundred mines.

Dozens of small minefields have formed another huge minefield. Within a few kilometers, there are mines everywhere. More than 2,000 mines have been buried. Now, there are still a small number of mines left.

In the distance, an off-road vehicle rushed over. It was an off-road vehicle in front of the investigation of the enemy situation. Several soldiers on the vehicle shouted: "Brothers, hurry up, the Japanese chariot group is only half an hour away."

Hearing the shouts, everyone was faster. After more than ten minutes, all the mines were buried. A captain company commander in the team leader looked at the huge minefield. A smile appeared on his face and shouted loudly: "Brothers, retreat."

Soon, these soldiers drove these m3 semi-track infantry fighting vehicles and off-road vehicles. Everyone left here and headed towards Xuzhou Airport. Everyone successfully completed the task of burying landmines and returned happily.

All the mines buried by everyone are anti-tank mines, so there is no need to worry about accidentally hurting the people in this area in the future. In addition, if Xuzhou is restored and the newly formed 6th Army has gained a foothold in Xuzhou, these anti-tank mine warriors who have not exploded will definitely be eliminated one by one, but it will take a certain amount of effort.

Anti-tank mines are mainly used to destroy or destroy vehicles such as tanks and armored personnel carriers. Compared with anti-infantry mines, anti-tank mines usually have more explosives, and the fuse is transformed into only triggered by the vehicle.

The anti-tank mines buried by the soldiers are basically not triggered by pedestrians. To trigger such anti-tank mines, a force greater than 180 kilograms can trigger the fuse to trigger an explosion.

These soldiers didn't last long, and in just over a dozen minutes, a huge group of chariots drove over in a fierce manner.

The Japanese were also in a hurry and wanted to arrive at the Xuzhou Airport at 7 o'clock in the evening. After only half an hour of rest in the middle, they filled up their tanks and armored vehicles, the entire Japanese tank chariot brigade started again and rushed towards the Xuzhou area.

The Japanese never expected that there would be a huge minefield on their own way, and the soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army buried two or three thousand landmines here.

No, there are far more than one minefield like this, but three or four minefields. These three or four minefields form horns and echo each other, and are separated by several kilometers. The soldiers in other places are still busy and burying landmines.

Looking at the flat terrain in front of him, the commander of the Major General of the Japanese brigade, Akira Hirata, looked happy and said loudly to the Japanese officer beside him: "Tell me the order and move forward at full speed."
