Okamura Ninji thought about it for a moment, nodded and agreed with Mamoru Izawa's suggestion, and said to him: "Immediately order the counteroffensive troops, quickly take position, and after the air and naval artillery attacks of the naval fleet are over, give me a counterattack immediately!"

Iizawa Mamoru hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Hai, please rest assured, Your Excellency the commander, I will definitely convey the order."

More than ten miles away over Wanjiazhuang Airport, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the ground is full of fire, which is the masterpiece of the devil's naval artillery group, carrier-based aircraft group and anti-aircraft artillery fire of the dragon's tooth column.

After a fierce battle, the air defense brigade inflicted heavy damage on the incoming Devil carrier-based aircraft group and successfully repelled it. However, it was bombarded by indiscriminate covering artillery fire from Japanese naval artillery groups. The anti-aircraft brigade also lost a part of its anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and the heaviest losses were the casualties of the anti-aircraft infantry, which amounted to three or four hundred people.

The tank brigade and the infantry of the 1st Division also suffered some casualties, but fortunately, the scale was not large.

Not long after the defeat of the Devil's carrier-based aircraft group retreated, the fire of its naval guns stopped.

At this time, Okamura Ninji and others received the news and immediately ordered the more than 10,000 reinforcements that had just gathered in the northwest direction of Tianjin City, together with thousands of the original defending troops in this place and tens of thousands of imperial troops, to form a counteroffensive group of more than 30,000 people, and launched a counteroffensive against the Dragon's Tooth Column at the same time from the front that stretched for several kilometers northwest of Tianjin City.

The attack of the Japanese puppet army was aimed at Wanjiazhuang Airport, so on the main road directly to Wanjiazhuang Airport, an astonishing number of devils gathered a new force, and they quickly advanced along the road and headed straight for the airport.

Liu Jianhua was responsible for commanding all the infantry, armored troops, and air defense units on the defense line of Wanjiazhuang Airport, and when he learned that the Japanese army had taken the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, he immediately called all the combat units at the battalion and company level who could be contacted, and ordered them to resolutely resist the Japanese counterattack.

As some combat units were unable to reach each other due to the enemy's air raids and bombing, he dispatched all the heralds of the brigade headquarters to use all means to convey his orders as quickly as possible, such as running, riding, and riding in vehicles.

In fact, without his order, when the defense line of each unit was counterattacked by the Japanese army, they did not hesitate to resolutely return fire.

After all, in the minds of all anti-Japanese soldiers, and little Japan, it is a blood feud that cannot be killed, as long as it is found, no matter whether he has a combat order or not, he will be raised by a **** bitch.

For a time, within a radius of more than ten miles around Wanjiazhuang Airport, artillery fire was in the sky, and gunfire was loud.

The devil and the puppet army relied on the large number of troops, and their headquarters issued a death order, so the momentum of the attack was very fierce, and the two sides exchanged fire for just over half an hour, and the devil advanced more than 500 meters in the front, and successively broke through the three blocking lines of the 9th Infantry Battalion of the First Division.

After Liu Jianhua learned the news, he urgently dispatched two No. 4 tank companies to contain the Japanese puppet army's counteroffensive troops who were trying to drive straight into the country with ferocious and dense artillery fire and assault fire.

In coordination with the 9th Infantry Battalion, the defense line was stabilized less than three kilometers away from Wanjiazhuang Airport, and if it were not for the artillery development of tank units, the Devil's artillery could even build artillery positions in its forward positions and carry out artillery bombardment towards Wanjiazhuang Airport.

Rao is like this, and the situation is extremely critical, because the order Qiao Youhua gave to Liu Jianhua and them is not only to hold the airport, but more importantly, to keep the dozens of captured Japanese fighters and bombers in the airport.

Therefore, the situation is still extremely critical, in case of negligence, the devil's artillery took the opportunity to set up artillery with a range of more than three kilometers, and bombarded the Wanjiazhuang airport, it would be a disaster.

Therefore, after learning of this situation, Liu Jianhua immediately summoned several regiment commanders under his command and invited Zhou Zhibing, commander of the air defense brigade, and his party to participate in discussing countermeasures.

"Brothers, the fierce battle on the front line is in full swing, I won't talk nonsense, now the devils have advanced within three kilometers along the airport road, and they may set up artillery to carry out destructive shelling of the airport at any time, so that although the airport may not be lost, the batch of Japanese fighters captured inside will definitely suffer.

For us, not being able to complete the task given to us by the commander is a failure, and I will not allow such a situation until we have all died in battle, shed the last drop of blood, and used up the last bullet.

Now I have decided to organize a counteroffensive at once, and no matter what the cost, I will be driven to an absolutely safe distance beyond five kilometers of the airport. As soon as Liu Jianhua's voice fell, he was not allowed to continue speaking, and Zhou Zhibing, the commander of the air defense brigade, took over the conversation and said: "Brigade Commander Liu, if you need to counterattack, our air defense brigade can dispatch the 88 anti-aircraft artillery unit to assist you in the attack.

The caliber is 88mm, and I believe everyone has seen it, and it is definitely more than enough to do little devils, and they will definitely be able to beat them all over the ground to find teeth. ”

When the regimental commander of the First Division heard this, he immediately agreed: "Brigade Commander Liu, this method is good, the 88 anti-aircraft gun of the air defense brigade is a big killer, larger than the caliber of the tank gun of your tank brigade, with their assistance, our counteroffensive operation will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

The battalion commanders of several other regiments also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his subordinates all hoped for this, Liu Jianhua nodded happily and agreed: "Then thank you Brigade Commander Zhou and the brothers of the air defense brigade, this counteroffensive, let's use tanks and infantry to form the main attack force, and the anti-aircraft artillery group of your air defense brigade will follow up, once you encounter the enemy barrier fortifications that are difficult to break through, you will immediately open fire and greet you fiercely!" ”

Zhou Zhibing smiled and nodded: "No problem, everyone just look at it!" ”

As soon as the temporary meeting ended, several major infantry and armored battalion commanders rushed to their respective command posts and assembled their troops as quickly as possible.

The anti-aircraft guns of the air defense brigade also followed, and Zhou Zhibing only sent ten anti-aircraft guns in order to prevent the devil fighters from attacking again, even so, for the devil infantry, this is also a powerful deterrent.

Ten anti-aircraft guns and dozens of tank guns of Tank No. 4 opened fire almost simultaneously, and a large number of high-explosive shells whistled and poured down on the positions of the devils.

On the Japanese position, the devils were reinforcing the newly acquired position, and actively preparing for the next attack.

In the next second, the shells fell mercilessly, boom, boom, and the fierce explosions like shaking the ground and mountains rang out one after another, and the Japanese position was in flames for a moment, and clouds of smoke rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

Some of the hapless Devil Soldiers were swept up by the blast wave of air generated by the explosion.
