Chapter 1291: Fighting Tianjin Again (3)

Seeing that victory had dawned, Zhou Fucheng, commander of the 116th Division, who braved the rain of bullets and bullets to approach the command, immediately mobilized his troops, and the troops in the front-line trenches moved to the left flank one after another, hoping to take advantage of this empty area of Japanese troops, to quickly seize the second line of defense with points and lines, and then take advantage of the short-term confusion of the collapse of the Japanese front to take the last line of defense built by the Japanese army on the other side of the Liuli River.

The ordinary training of the Japanese army included a large number of fortification construction projects, and now the Japanese army in Tianjin has almost put into practice what they have learned, so when the officers and soldiers spread along the second trench, they found that it was not as easy as when they broke through the first trench. The Japanese army built a lot of individual bunkers and bunkers made of concrete pouring in the tunnels, and with the help of the winding tunnels, generally as long as a crooked machine gun was placed in the bunker at the corner, it could be *** a long distance.

Unconsciously, the Chinese officers and soldiers had just rushed out of the turn of the tunnel with a shout, and they were met by a dense burst of bullets from the Japanese army, and they fell in an instant. After so many attempts, the commander of the front finally tasted the ruthlessness of the Japanese army and had to use his brains to deal with it.

Soon, the 116th Division also adopted the local method, filling the able-bodied daredevils with several layers of soaked quilts, and then crawling slowly forward, approaching the enemy's strong fortifications and throwing grenades. Although this method suffered great losses after the Japanese army used mortars and grenadiers, the tactics of the Japanese army were eliminated one by one almost one by one.

Seeing that their defense line was constantly being eroded, the Japanese army was annoyed and angry, and organized hundreds of Japanese troops to launch a decisive charge, but they were brutally strangled by the combination of machine guns and submachine guns by the squadron that had been on guard for a long time.

The battle for the second line of defense lasted until one o'clock at noon, and the scorching sun hanging high in the sky emitted a scorching flame, and many overconsumed *** soldiers were dehydrated. Although the Japanese army was waiting for work, the battle line was subjected to artillery fire for a long time, and the ground temperature was as high as fifty or sixty degrees, so the flow of moisture was also very large, and it was completely dependent on spiritual will.

At this time, Wan Fulin, who saw that victory was in sight, once again sent a fresh force to the front line, and as Feng Zhanhai's 91st Division fiercely joined the battlefield, the second line of defense of the Japanese army completely collapsed, and the remaining hundreds of Japanese troops quickly retreated to the third line of trenches.

Another bloody tug-of-war unfolds!

......

Comparatively speaking, Pang Bingxun's attack was more resolute and swift than that of the 53rd Army. Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the support of the Central Air Force, the 40th Army used the cover of earthen tanks made of cotton quilts soaked in water and spread on the table of the Eight Immortals, and once again forced the Japanese army defense line, using dozens of old-fashioned earthen cannons to bombard the Japanese defense line at close range.

The 40th Army took advantage of the situation to cover up and break through the three lines of defense carefully constructed by the Japanese army in one fell swoop, and by 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the 40th Army had completed the sweep of the Japanese troops blocking along the way, and the forward troops once again *** to the town of Xiaozhan Town.

When he learned through contact that the 53rd Army was attacking the third line of the Japanese army's riverbank defense line, Pang Bingxun immediately made a decision to transfer the *** brigade of Miyagi to attack the Japanese flank, and the riverbank fortifications that the Japanese army had painstakingly managed finally collapsed.

The 116th Division, the 91st Division, and the 40th Brigade of the 53rd Army successfully joined forces, and without pause, continued to attack the deep defense line of Tianjin, and by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they were already approaching the periphery of Tianjin.

"Sizzle—"

The terrible scream of the cannonball when it flew sounded again, and the whole field was suddenly covered by the artillery fire in the sky, and in the huge explosion, the air wave evaporated, and countless *** soldiers got on the earthen plane, and when they fell from the sky, the person had been broken into many pieces, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

Itagaki Seishiro, who had been enduring for a long time, finally made a move, and the Japanese artillery fire, which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came to the top of the squadron, and the two camouflaged Japanese heavy artillery positions outside the south gate of Tianjin were withdrawn, and they unscrupulously vented their anger to the squadron. At the same time, dozens of tanks of the Japanese army rushed out of the dense forests one by one, and after assembling in a short time, they ran over the squadron head-on with overwhelming momentum.

An Yi, who was behind him, didn't know what was going on, but suddenly heard the dull rumble when the heavy artillery on the front line exploded, and his face changed: "Not good!" The Japanese army still has so many heavy artillery, and now it is a big trouble. ”

Wan Fulin was also stunned by the earth-shaking artillery bombardment coming from the front line, and muttered: "The Japanese army has so many heavy artillery, why did they endure it all the time without moving?" ”

An Yi did not answer this question, but directly suggested: "General Shoushan, the appearance of the Japanese army's heavy artillery means that the battle situation has changed, and I guess that even the Japanese army's mechanized troops may have been put into battle." I reckon that the Japanese must have some major conspiracy hidden, but at this time, preserving our strength is the first priority. I propose to immediately withdraw our troops to the south bank of the Liuli River and use our carefully constructed fortifications to confront the Japanese army. ”

Wan Fulin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly issued a retreat order. At the same time, An Yi quickly called Pang Bingxun, explaining the current grim situation and asking the 40th Army to retreat quickly.

"Not good, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of tanks, and our army suffered heavy casualties before it made contact under the heavy artillery attack of the Japanese army. Our army fought back, but our grenades and mortars did not work at all against the Japanese tanks, and our army was quickly divided and surrounded by the Japanese army, and the situation was critical. ”

The chief of the telecommunications section of the 53rd Army stood up nervously.

Wan Fulin's face changed greatly, and he quickly stepped forward to take the message, and after reading it, his feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, An Yi supported him to stabilize his body.

An Yi comforted in a harmonious voice: "Senior, don't worry, the calmer the better at this time, there will always be a way to solve things!" ”

After a little hesitation, An Yi continued: "Now we must ask General Shang Zhen to temporarily take over the position, and General Zhu will lead the 130th Division to cross the river immediately, and find a way to meet the 91st Division and the 116th Division. Now that we have reached the critical moment of life and death, we must do everything possible to shoot at the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, do everything possible to suppress the Japanese artillery, and attract the attention of some Japanese artillery. At the same time, I immediately called in air support, and then led the officers and men of the Military Police Regiment of the Fifth Army Corps, which were temporarily stationed in Jinghai, to cross the river with the 130th Division, and in any case, we must also rescue our troops from the encirclement of the enemy. ”

Wan Fulin was already panicked at this time, he patted An Yi's hand gratefully, and immediately turned around to arrange relevant matters.

An Yi leaned close to Shen Fengdao's ear: "It seems that we have to use our secret weapon, otherwise this battle will be very difficult to fight." ”

Shen Fengdao nodded: "I was afraid of using it before, because I was worried that the Japanese army would be wary of it after discovering it, and it was even possible to develop this kind of weapon." But now there is no way, if we don't save the two divisions of the 53rd Army and the *** brigade of the 40th Army, then the Jinghai defense line may be shaken, and the most important thing is that General Wan may be disheartened. In addition, Miyagi is now under the encirclement of the Japanese army, so it stands to reason that we should do our best to rescue them. ”

An Yi patted Shen Fengdao on the shoulder, sorted out the military uniform on the first ***, and rushed out of the command headquarters like the wind. Shen Fengdao followed out of the bunker, briefly explained to Lin Yaodong, and asked that An Yi's life must be ensured, and then jumped on the big leopard that stopped behind the headquarters and hurried back to Jinghai.

Back in the backyard of the county government, Shen Fengdao immediately found Colonel Xiao Ruofei, the head of the military police regiment, and after giving An Yi's order, he returned to his room, opened the sixteen wooden boxes stacked in the corner one by one, and took out the shiny bazooka inside.

After more than a year of continuous improvement, the latest An-37 rocket launcher now has a range of three hundred meters, a vertical armor-piercing thickness of up to one hundred and fifty millimeters, and a total weight of only eight kilograms, making it very easy to carry.

This batch of bazookas was originally intended to be handed over to the 17th Army for distribution, but considering that the 17th Army's light and heavy firepower is now superior to that of the Japanese army, the tanks against the Japanese army have 37 anti-aircraft guns, and the improved mortars can easily shoot directly at the target. But obviously today do not use this killer weapon will not work, it is not clear the number of tanks used by the Japanese army on the front line, at present, the entire 53rd Army and the 40th Army, there is no effective weapon against the Japanese tanks, once the Japanese tanks can not be effectively ***, the consequences will be unimaginable, so the bazooka battle can only be set today.

The thirty-six iron guards around An Yi had all been trained in bazooka shooting, and they came in handy at this moment. When Shen Fengdao walked out of the room to call for someone to resist the bazooka and the wooden box containing the rockets, the military police unit had already been fully equipped, and the sophisticated equipment of the An Jiajun Army was draped all over its body, and the Zhongzheng machine gun, Zhongzheng Type 3 rifle, general-purpose machine gun, and mortar were completely configured in accordance with the strongest firepower at the squad and platoon level.

Shen Fengdao and Xiao Ruofei rushed to the front line of Liulihe with their troops, at this time Shang Zhen's 139th Division had taken over the defensive line, and at the same time, the 141st Division and the 142nd Division of the 32nd Army were on full alert.

Shen Fengdao hurriedly asked Huang Guanghua, the commander of the 139th Division, who was commanding the troops to arrange the defensive line, and learned that An Yi had crossed the river with the 130th Division, and was currently moving towards Tianjin City at a rapid pace, so he immediately commanded the troops to wade across the river, and then advanced at the speed of a forced march.

After a quarter of an hour of pursuit, they finally caught up with the rear of the 130th Division in a fierce fight, and at this time the 130th Division had already engaged with the Japanese and fell into a bitter battle.

It turned out that while the Japanese army divided and surrounded the 91st Division, the 116th Division, and the 40th Army, it also sent a unit directly into the Liuli River to try to recapture the Linhe defense line and completely block the retreat of the squadron in the encirclement. Unexpectedly, this Japanese army collided with the 130th Division, which was eager to save people's hearts, and a fierce battle quickly broke out.

Under the cover of six tanks, the Japanese rushed towards the 130th Division with great momentum.

Zhu Hongxun, commander of the 130th Division, was in a hurry and ordered his troops to concentrate all their firepower on the Japanese tanks, but whether it was a mortar or a light or heavy machine gun, they automatically bounced off when they touched the iron shell of the Japanese tank, and the Japanese tanks did not slow down at all, and frantically rammed into the unconcealed battle line where the 130th Division had temporarily stopped.

The situation is critical and at stake!
