"Baga, damn it, the Chinese army actually dispatched tanks and combat vehicles again." There are a large number of enemy troops, and Anbei Jinsan, who is also a veteran of the devil, can still accept it in his heart, after all, he is used to it.

However, seeing that the enemy dispatched tank fighting vehicles again, he suddenly couldn't calm down anymore, because in the previous battle, An Bei Jinsan and his comrades-in-arms deeply understood the power of the tank fighting vehicles of the Dragon Tooth Column.

With their existing equipment, they are simply helpless against those behemoths, unless the Imperial Air Force's fighter fleet, otherwise in the face of this steel behemoth, it is really helpless.

Like Anbei Jinsan, the other soldiers and officers of the Japanese army in the trenches outside Jinghai County were also really frightened by the coordinated attack of the 2nd Division of the Longya Column at this moment.

They lacked effective anti-tank weapons, and they did not have as many automatic firearms as the Dragon's Tooth Column, so in a head-to-head engagement, even if the two sides were equal in strength and the Japanese had the advantage of fortifications, they were by no means the opponent of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

The gap in combat power between the infantry, the Japanese army can also use the suicide counterattack of the daredevils to make up for it, but the huge gap between the tanks and the devil, even if the devil sends ten times the number of death squads, it may not be effective.

But fear is fear, the battle has already been fought to this point, and the group of devils like Anbei Jinsan also know that there is only one choice left for them, that is, to continue to stick to the scalp.

A junior officer appeared in the front-line trenches at a critical moment, and announced in an almost hoarse voice: "Hold on, the headquarters has asked for support from Tianjin, air support will come soon, reinforcements are also on the way, we must hold on, the Imperial Army will win, and the Great Japanese Empire will win!" ”

Under his instigation, the Japanese army's heart was slightly stabilized, and soon, more than a dozen tanks covering the attack of the Dragon's Tooth infantry began to shell.

A 75mm high-explosive shell roared out of the tank chamber and bombarded the Japanese position, bursting into a violent explosion.

The trench fortifications around Anbei Jinsan also suffered a shell, and it was blown up by the ferocious shock wave on the spot, and fell into the trench fiercely, and the old devil suddenly screamed miserably.

Blood poured out of his left rib, soaking his uniform almost instantly.

Bang! Bang! The deafening sound of the explosion soon resounded throughout the Japanese position, and in the light of fire and smoke, one after another devil soldiers and puppet soldiers were blown up and flew out, dead and wounded.

…………

At the same time, the garrison headquarters of the Japanese army in Tianjin.

Okamura Ninji and Iizawa Mamoru and other high-ranking officials of the Japanese North China Front had already arrived here under the escort of the guards.

Officially took over the command of all Japanese puppet armies in Tianjin and its surroundings.

"Your Excellency General, the Jinghai County defense line has once again been attacked by the infantry of the Zhina Army, and it is in an all-round emergency, and the front-line commander requests the headquarters to provide immediate support." As soon as Okamura Ninji sat down, a communications adjutant hurriedly came to report with a telegram.

Okamura Ninji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, immediately got up and came to the battle map, found the location of Jinghai, and said after a moment: "Jinghai County is an important place for the avant-garde in Tianjin, and the enemy army on this road must have sensed that the imperial army was about to retreat to Tianjin, so they will increase their attack in vain.

Before our defense of Tianjin is completed, Jinghai County cannot easily give up. ”

Iizawa Mamoru nodded approvingly: "It will take some time for the ground troops to rush over, and once Beiping falls into the hands of the Dragon's Tooth Column, Jinghai County will be alone in our Tianjin defense line, and sooner or later we will have to give up."

Therefore, it is not advisable to send too many ground troops, so as not to fall into the heavy encirclement of the Chinese army at that time. Therefore, it is suggested that more air groups should be sent to support, first, the speed is fast enough, timely enough, and second, it can deal with the tanks and other ground armored targets of the Chinese army. ”

Okamura Ninji said: "It makes sense, but the ground forces still have to be dispatched, otherwise relying on the air force alone can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

After saying this, Okamura Ninji said to Iizawa: "Chief of Staff, you stay at the command headquarters, I just took this opportunity to go to the Navy Fleet Headquarters and ask them to send sea-based aviation to support the Jinghai Front, and by the way, I will question the Marine Corps in person." ”

Mamoru Iizawa nodded, "Okay." ”

…………

Beiping City, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, a huge thousand-year-old capital, at this moment is being quickly occupied by the dragon's tooth column, with the arrival of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the guard regiment led by Zhao Tiezhu, the Japanese puppet army in the city is under the joint attack of them and the vanguard of the first division.

The defeat was like a mountain, the devils fled, and most of the puppet army were left behind as cannon fodder, and chose to surrender in battle.

When Qiao Youhua arrived at Dongzhimen with the main force of the guard regiment, the vanguard of the first division and the cavalry reconnaissance battalion had already broken through the inner city and the imperial city, and were attacking the Forbidden City.

The structure of the city in Beiping is like this, divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the Forbidden City.

There is a sentence that describes the ancient capital of Beiping, nine inside and seven outside the imperial city four, in addition to the sixteen city gates in the inner and outer cities, there are four city gates in the imperial city, namely Tiananmen, Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, Xi'an Gate.

In addition, there are four gates in the Forbidden City, namely the Wumen Gate, the Shenwu Gate, the Donghua Gate, and the Xihua Gate.

At this moment, the siege troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column are attacking the above-mentioned four gates, including the Wumen Gate and the Shenwu Gate.

Because a group of devils fled into the Forbidden City, which was tall and majestic on the way to be pursued by them, the cavalry reconnaissance battalion and the infantry of the 1st Division immediately pursued and blocked the devils in the Forbidden City.

After Qiao Youhua entered the outer city, when he was rushing to the inner city surrounded by the soldiers of the guard regiment, Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the first division, rode over with several officers on horseback.

Seeing Qiao Youhua, they immediately turned over and dismounted, ran over to salute Qiao Youhua and greeted him, "Commander, you are here." ”

Qiao Youhua sat in the military jeep and saluted back, and after the car stopped, he asked, "How is it, how is the battle going?" ”

Liu Yidao replied: "Basically, the whole city has been controlled, but a small group of devils have fled into the Forbidden City, the first regiment and the cavalry reconnaissance battalion are going all out to encircle and suppress, but this Beiping City is also too big, thanks to you brought the guard regiment over, otherwise, the brothers will not have enough manpower just to maintain law and order and control the city gate." ”

"Escaped into the Forbidden City?" Qiao Youhua frowned when he heard this, and said: "Order the attacking troops, deal with the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, and don't give them the opportunity to wreak havoc in the Forbidden City." ”

"Yes! I immediately went to the Shenwu Gate to direct the battle. Liu Yidao suddenly stepped forward to agree, and after getting Qiao Youhua's nod and approval, he immediately turned around and turned on his horse, and led several of his subordinates to ride their horses in the direction of the Forbidden City.
