"That's right, we also have to play a decent record and recover Tianjin!" Some of the officers echoed the chims of the day.

Ma Biao still has self-knowledge, and with the second division under his command, without air supremacy, he wants to capture Tianjin, which is heavily defended by the Japanese puppet army, and has two naval fleets, at least hundreds of warships, and hundreds of sea-based carrier-based aircraft.

It's tantamount to wishful thinking, but it is not a problem to capture Jinghai County, which is already isolated from the perspective of the overall strategic situation.

Ma Biao also understood that since the devil had decided to abandon Beiping, he would definitely stick to Tianjin next, for the simple reason that Tianjin was close to the sea, and its navy and air force could give them timely and powerful fire support for the ground army.

From the devil's point of view, if we cannot hold Beiping, we can retreat to the next best thing and protect Tianjin, so as to keep the last strategic point of the Japanese army in North China and leave a base and bridgehead for the future counteroffensive.

The Japanese devils are not dead, there is no chaos in the rear, and the national strength still exists, and they will never be willing to be expelled from the land of North China, and sooner or later, they will make a comeback.

Therefore, Ma Biao naturally knows what he should do at this time.

That is to step up the offensive, on the one hand, to destroy as much of the enemy's vital forces as possible, and on the other hand, to contain as many Japanese troops as possible, so as to provide cover for the war in Beiping.

In addition, the more fierce the offensive on their side, the greater the pressure on the devils in Tianjin, and they will not be able to manage their defense line in Tianjin wholeheartedly.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Biao was so anxious to gather his main officers, to unify the combat objectives and will with them, to gather the strength of the whole division, to launch a fierce attack, and strive to break through the enemy's defense line in Jinghai and advance to Tianjin while recovering Beiping.

Ma Yiming, the commander of the Third Regiment and the chief of staff of the division, said: "Division commander, Deputy Division Commander Zhou, colleagues, combined with the current battlefield situation, it is necessary to storm the Jinghai defense line with all your might. However, before the offensive can begin, we have to prepare our air defenses in advance.

In the past few days, all the offensive units and logistics units of the division have probably been bombed by the devil's sea-based carrier-based aircraft group, and it is foreseeable that once the enemy's defense line is in an emergency, they will definitely ask the navy's carrier-based aircraft group to provide air fire support. ”

Zhou Dasheng and Ma Shoutian, the commander of the second regiment, nodded and agreed: "What the third regiment commander said makes sense, our only disadvantage now is air supremacy, the little devil's plane is a big trouble for us, we have to find a way to deal with it, otherwise the attacking troops will not be able to attack with all their strength at all, the offensive strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be even more difficult to break through the Japanese defense line." ”

Ma Biao also nodded deeply and said: "I have to think of a way to clean up the little devils and get the navy carrier-based aircraft, and let them know that the top of our second division is not their back garden, come if you want, and leave if you want." ”

After a moment of silence, Ma Biao beckoned to several main regiment commanders and said, "Listen, let's ...... like this."

About an hour later, after some secret preparations, and with Ma Biao's order, the two main infantry battalions of the Second Regiment of the Second Division, under the cover of a tank company of the tank regiment directly under the division headquarters, launched an attack from the south of the city to the Japanese defense line south of Jinghai County.

Also covering their attack were the artillery battalion of the 2nd Regiment and the 75mm Krupp Artillery Regiment directly under the division headquarters.

These two artillery forces concentrated more than 100 mountain guns, mortars, field guns, and artillery of various 60mm, 70mm, and 75mm calibers, and fired fiercely at the Japanese field defensive positions under the city walls almost simultaneously.

All of a sudden, hundreds, or even thousands, of various artillery shells fell on the Japanese positions one after another, and in an instant, a series of violent explosions occurred on the Japanese positions.

Clusters of scorching and dazzling red flames rose to the ground, accompanied by thick smoke and soared into the air, in the explosion, there were constantly devil soldiers and puppet soldiers, who were hit by shrapnel and died, and were blown out by the explosion shock wave like a leaf, and fell fiercely on the trench of the position, and the dead could not die again.

‘

The unlucky Japanese puppet soldiers were directly hit by the shells, and with the violent explosion of Peng's voice, they turned into a bloody rain and were blown to pieces.

An Bei Jinsan, a commander of the Jinghai Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army, and his subordinates had been engaged in battle with the Second Infantry Division of the Dragon's Tooth Column for many days, and his comrades-in-arms fell under the enemy's gunfire one by one.

The old devil Anbei Jinsan also suffered several injuries, but fortunately, they were all minor injuries, and the Japanese army was insufficient, so Anbei Jinsan did not get off the line of fire to go to the rear hospital for treatment and rest, but simply bandaged and dealt with it, and then returned to the front line again.

At this moment, the defensive line where he was located was under heavy artillery fire from the artillery group of the 2nd Division.

An Beijin San held his Type 38 rifle in his arms, hiding under a crumbling anti-artillery bunker that had been blown to pieces, feeling the violent shaking from the ground and the violent explosions that kept happening not far away, and his heart was extremely nervous.

With such a powerful artillery fire, once you are a little lucky and take a shot, then you can go to see the legendary Amaterasu.

Of course, Anbei Jinzo didn't want to see Amaterasu, he still wanted to live well, and go back to the days two years ago, as a grassroots officer of the Jinghai County Garrison Brigade.

He has the filial piety of the Imperial Association Army and the plainclothes team on weekdays, his waist bag is always bulging, he eats whatever he wants, and if he wants to play with the flower girl, someone will help him "find it", and in Jinghai County, he, like all the soldiers of the Imperial Army, is an omnipotent superior person.

As long as they fancy something, there is nothing they can't get, and there is nothing they can't get on the woman they fancy it.

The days of lawlessness and recklessness are so cool, and in their eyes, the despicable Shina Shunmin is a flock of lambs to the slaughter, who can be slaughtered whenever they want, and can be squeezed as much as they want.

Therefore, he really wanted to continue to live and return to the usual fairy-like days. Of course, this old devil also knows that if he wants to live the happy life he used to live again, he has to repel the menacing Dragon's Tooth Column, a powerful Tubalu.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the terrified shelling of An Beijin to finally end, and An Beijin Sanyan was glad that he hurriedly climbed out of the bunker, according to past experience, after the shelling was over, the damn Tubalu should be about to attack.

However, when he climbed out of the bunker and came to the trench to peek out, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him, all over the mountains and fields were full of officers and soldiers wearing gray-blue military uniforms and holding various advanced weapons, and in their offensive formation, there were at least a dozen huge steel beasts, and the high barrels showed that they were indestructible dragon tooth tanks!
