Severely beaten by the Air Defense Regiment of the Second Division of the Dragon's Tooth, the devil fighters who took the lead in diving were all spared, all of them were hit by intensive anti-aircraft fire, or exploded in the air, or pulled black smoke, lost control, and fell into the distance, without exception, all of them eventually turned into ruins.

Finding that the fighters of their own side that were still showing off their might and had amazing firepower at the moment ago were shot down and crashed several in a blink of an eye, the devils and puppet troops in Jinghai County were taken aback, and the morale that had just been lifted was like a roller coaster, and it took a sharp turn.

And in the former enemy headquarters of the 2nd Division, a battalion commander came to Ma Biao and reported: "Division, the little devil's plane has finally appeared, and the air defense regiment has opened fire with all its strength and dealt a severe blow to the enemy!" So far, five enemy aircraft have been shot down and destroyed. ”

Ma Biao actually knew that the enemy plane was coming, and was very sure to wait for the battle report of the front troops, and when he heard this, he slapped the conference table in front of him and said: "Great, tell the front air defense forces, give me a hard beat of his **** fighter group, and after repelling the enemy's fighter group, immediately organize troops to attack again, this time, the morale of the devil will inevitably be greatly hit, we will definitely take the opportunity to capture Jinghai, and then threaten Tianjin." ”

After Ma Biao finished his order, at this time, the deputy division commander Zhou Dasheng suddenly came over and said to him: "Division commander, I just got the news from the commander, he has ordered the tank armored brigade stationed in Langfang to leave this place and march eastward, echoing us from afar, and feint to attack Tianjin.

The commander asked us to speed up the offensive and not give the enemy the opportunity to calmly deploy fortifications in Tianjin, so as to pave the way for the next general attack on Tianjin by the whole army. ”

Ma Biao nodded and said awe-inspiringly: "Great, with the assistance of Liu Jianhua's tank armored brigade, we will attack Tianjin, and the combat power will be stronger, maybe we can take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is not stable in Tianjin, break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop, and attack the city of Tianjin, in that case, it will be extremely beneficial to us."

Call back to the commander, ask him to rest assured, and say that we promise to break through the Japanese Jinghai defense line within three hours, take Jinghai County, and continue to march to Tianjin! ”

Zhou Dasheng and the battalion commander responded happily in unison: "Yes!" He saluted and turned to leave.

On the battlefield south of Jinghai City, the Japanese enemy planes were blocked from air raids, and were met with all their might by the Air Defense Regiment of the Second Division of Longya.

The fighters accelerated to the airspace on both wings to evade, and the bombers that were still in the air pulled up and flew away.

After the group of fighters flew away, it turned around and flew towards the dragon's tooth position with dense anti-aircraft fire again, and the machine guns and course machine guns opened fire one after another.

The devil's bombers also began to drop bombs at high altitudes, although they were not as accurate as medium and low altitude bombs, but they were better than nothing, and they couldn't just return home.

The fighters of the devil fought with the air defense regiment of the second division of Longya for a while, although they caused some casualties to the ground air defense forces, but their own losses were also very large, plus the previous loss of several fighters, at least ten fighters of the Japanese army were shot down and destroyed.

In addition to the bombs dropped by the devil's bombers from a high altitude, many of them landed on the Japanese army's fortifications outside the city and on the city defense fortifications in Jinghai County, causing a lot of casualties to their own people.

In the end, the devil's carrier-based aircraft group had to stop air support because of the heavy losses of the escort fighters, and reluctantly began to return.

As soon as the devil's air power was withdrawn, Ma Biao ordered the whole division to launch a fierce attack, using tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery as cover, and organized the elite infantry to carry out a large-scale cluster charge.

The devil withdrew due to air power, his morale plummeted, he couldn't resist, and the second division of Longya took advantage of the situation to break through the defense line outside the city, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and then even the city defense could not be held, and the second division was like a bamboo, and the army was defeated, and finally was completely annihilated inside and outside Jinghai County.

After recovering Jinghai County, Ma Biao sent a telegram to Qiao Youhua to report the victory, and at the same time ordered the troops to continue to march to Tianjin without stopping.

At the same time, Liu Jianhua and others led the tank armored brigade to Wuqing, Huanghua Town, and other major villages and towns on the outskirts of Tianjin.

At the same time, the devils and the puppet army also left a considerable number of small troops, scattered in various villages, to resist the eastward advance of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

However, under the cover of the powerful assault fire of the tank armored brigade of the Dragon's Tooth Column, any resistance of the devils is futile, and once the fire is blocked, it will immediately attract a devastating fire strike.

However, the casualties of the devils are not meaningless, and they still slow down the advance of the Dragon's Tooth Tank Armored Brigade from a strategic perspective.

Standing in front of a dilapidated village that had just been captured by the vanguard tank troops, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou Ming said to Liu Jianhua: "Brigade Commander, the 1st Armored Regiment, the 2nd Armored Regiment and the Guard Armored Battalion of the Brigade Headquarters have all been stubbornly resisted by the enemy, and the speed of the advance is far from what we expected.

If we continue to delay in this way, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the progress of the overall strategic situation. ”

Liu Jianhua smoked a cigarette, frowned and nodded: "Yes, the purpose of the devil is very clear, regardless of the cost of casualties, a small force will block us layer by layer, so as to achieve the speed of blocking our march to Tianjin from the strategic level." Do you have any good ideas? ”

Zhou Qing frowned and thought for a while: "The devils not only deployed troops in the villages along the way to carry out all kinds of attacks and harassment against us, but also destroyed almost all the roads and bridges leading to Tianjin.

For a while, I couldn't think of any better way. ”

Liu Jianhua threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and said: "Our army has no air force, compared to the infantry advance, now our mechanized march speed is relatively fast, after all, we have absolute defense and firepower superiority, and when we encounter a devil's blockade, we can directly give it a devastating blow."

Therefore, now we just need to continue to work hard and speed up as much as possible, there is no other way, the closest force to Tianjin is our armored brigade. ”

As soon as Liu Jianhua's words fell, a communications soldier suddenly ran over and saluted him and Zhou Qing: "Brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, the headquarters has transferred the good news of the second division, they have broken through the Japanese army's Jinghai defense line and annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops, and the whole division is now advancing towards Tianjin at full speed." ”

When the two of them heard this, they were very surprised, and they looked at each other happily, Liu Jianhua couldn't help but nod and praise: "Great, in this way, the pressure on the devil on the southern front will increase greatly, and it is bound to divide the troops to the south, then the resistance we face will be weakened accordingly, and the order will go down, and the tank regiments and air defense regiments will increase their attacks, and the little devils will almost be unable to withstand it!" ”
