After a wave of artillery fire covered the Japanese positions, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column immediately launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese field positions from the south, west, and southwest.

Majiazhuang is located in the northeast of Tianjin 20 miles away, here was originally a grassland, because of the flat terrain, wide vision, so in the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, after the Japanese devils occupied Tianjin, they chose to build a simple military airport here.

Later, with the progress of the war and the passage of time, the airport was expanded several times, and now it has become a rare field military airport north of the Yellow River.

It can accommodate at least two hundred combat aircraft of all kinds, terminals, towers, oil depots, and various military warehouses.

Of course, after two years of combat losses, the land-based air force under the Japanese army in North China has been drastically reduced, and there are less than 100 combat planes of all kinds parked at the Tianjin airport.

This is still a powerful air force, and the Japanese army relies heavily on it, especially when the ground forces are not as good as the Dragon's Tooth Column, and the land-based aviation is already the only strike force that the Japanese army can take.

Therefore, the devil divided Wanjiazhuang Airport into its outer defense line in Tianjin, and sent heavy troops to build several defense lines relying on the outer perimeter of the airport.

It has been operated as a bridgehead for its northeast defense line in Tianjin, and the sky has just brightened, and a tense atmosphere is permeated inside and outside the entire airport.

Thousands of devils and puppet soldiers were like facing a great enemy, and it turned out that the devils here learned the news of the attack on the imperial fleet in the port of Tianjin, and they were afraid that the airport would follow in their footsteps, so they were on urgent alert.

When Liu Jianhua arrived with a tank regiment and an infantry regiment, he found that the Japanese army was heavily guarded.

A regiment commander came to him and said, "Brigade commander, the devil is well guarded, it seems that he has been prepared." ”

Liu Jianhua nodded and said: "With such a big battle of our two mechanized regiments, it is impossible to hide the devil's eyes during the day, and it is not surprising that the devil is prepared if the port in the city is attacked."

Now that all our main forces have launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese defense line in Tianjin at the same time, if the airport is attacked at this time, there will be no devils who can rush to reinforce it, so now is our best chance to take out the airport.

The order went down, and that company was the first to break through the Japanese defense line and occupy the airfield, and I personally asked the headquarters for their credit! The tank regiment and the infantry regiment form a coordinated attack group, start the attack immediately, don't care about the cost of casualties, and take the airfield as soon as possible! ”

When the regimental commander and several battalion commanders who had just arrived heard this, they all stood up and saluted and took the order together.

Moments later, an infantry artillery battalion under the command of the tank regiment and infantry regiment formed an artillery group and launched an artillery attack on the Japanese position.

More than ten minutes later, the offensive officially began.

Fifty No. 4 tanks of the tank regiment were dispatched one after another, and with the support and coordination of thousands of infantry, they roared towards the Japanese position.

Inside the airport, an artillery brigade of the Japanese army, which had been unable to trigger, saw that the Dragon's Tooth Column was menacing with the army, and its commander hurriedly ordered to open fire, intending to use artillery fire to stop the attack of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

More than a dozen 70 field guns and Type 92 infantry guns opened fire one after another, but the power of this artillery fire fell and did not cause much casualties to the attacking cluster of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

It's like a few pebbles thrown into the raging sea, and they can't make much waves.

The soldiers followed the tanks with their guns in their hands, and let the tanks provide cover for them, resisting the fire and bullets from the Japanese army, and constantly moving forward.

As the distance continued to get closer, the tanks and the vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns of the Dragon's Tooth tanks also opened fire one after another.

The bombardment of the 75mm tank guns and the pouring of fire from the German general-purpose machine guns covered the effect, and the artillery positions of the devils were soon covered in explosive fire and puffs of smoke.

Some of the devil soldiers screamed and were blown away, and while the devils were suppressed, the soldiers quickly moved forward.

Machine gunners, assault soldiers, and grenadiers, relying on their own tank groups, fired at the Japanese positions with all their might, pouring countless bullets and shells into the heads of the Japanese troops.

The infantry regiment that was sent to coordinate the attack with the tank armored brigade was the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division.

In addition, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Japanese army also has an absolute upper hand, so after the exchange of fire is in full swing, the Japanese army will be comprehensively suppressed and crushed.

After all, the tank units of the Dragon's Tooth Column have unrivaled defensive and assault capabilities, and their own firepower is enough to fight the enemy who lacks effective anti-tank weapons and cannot raise their heads.

Half an hour after the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, the entire airport inside and outside was completely enveloped in gunfire and thick gunsmoke.

The Japanese fortifications had been shattered by the heavy artillery fire of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and the entire defensive line was also crumbling, and it could be broken through by the fierce Dragon's Tooth Column at any time.

In order to stop the advance of the tanks of the Dragon's Tooth Column, the Devil's Forward Death Squad is completely filling with their lives, and whenever the Dragon's Tooth Tank Group approaches its forward defense line, there will always be dozens or even hundreds of devil soldiers with samurai cloths tied to their heads shouting various slogans and suddenly rushing out with explosives bags.

The Dragon's Tooth infantry who coordinated with the tank attack naturally would not let them succeed easily, and together with the tank's vehicle-mounted machine gun, they formed a firepower covering network of almost 360 degrees without dead ends, and the devils who rushed over were beaten into a sieve by dense bullets before they could rush to the tank, and fell down one after another.

The commander of the devil saw that the defense line was difficult to hold, and the reinforcements could not be mobilized because the other defense lines in Tianjin were also attacked by the dragon's tooth column, so he decided to abandon the airfield.

As a result, on the tarmac of the airport, dozens of Japanese fighters and bombers began to act in a panic, trying to take off and escape.

When the commander of a tank regiment and battalion commanding operations at the front found out about this, he immediately and decisively ordered the tank guns to concentrate their fire and carry out a covering artillery fire on the runway of the airfield.

Boom Boom! After a burst of shells poured down, a large explosion erupted, and the flames rose into the sky with thick smoke.

The originally smooth airstrip was suddenly blown into potholes, and a Devil fighter that took the lead in trying to take off was hit by a high-explosive armor-piercing shell while taxiing.

It was torn apart on the spot, flames erupted, and the devil pilot was also blown to pieces.

The rest of the devil pilots were all anxious when they saw that the runway was blown up, and at this time, the dragon tooth infantry also desperately broke through the Japanese defense line and led the tank regiment to rush towards the interior of the airport.
