Chapter 410: The Beijing-Tianjin Corridor Blockade

Liu Tiehan's corps attacked Tianjin for five hours, the Japanese reinforcements in Beiping were finally dispatched, according to the normal marching degree, five hours of time, enough time for the troops to come to the city of Tianjin, rescue soldiers like firefighting, why the Japanese army is so slow to react, has always been a mystery, according to the battle of Tianjin, after the end of the battle of Xiangyue Qingji, it is scattered troops in various places, gathering a lot of time wasted.

However, it was circulated within the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in North China that after receiving the news of the attack on Tianjin, His Excellency the Commander was extremely painful, appeared to be indecisive, and had many worries, and completely lost the indomitable spirit of a Japanese soldier, and the reinforcements were dispatched only five hours after the attack on Tianjin, which subtly illustrates the complex psychological activities of His Excellency the Commander.

The direction of the march of the Japanese reinforcements in Beiping happened to be the key blocking area arranged by Tang Qiuli, and it should be said that the net was waiting, whether this shows that the Japanese reinforcements returned in vain, or the end of the bloody outcome, however, it is no wonder that Xiangyue Qingji, through Langfang, is the nearest passage to Tianjin.

Knowing that the Japanese Beiping reinforcements were running into their arranged pockets, Tang Qiuli was in high spirits, and seeing that there was no one else in the headquarters, he shouted at Mei Ting: "Madam, bring the gun" Mei Ting was so angry that she pinched him fiercely, and took out Tang Long's gun, Tang Qiuli stepped on the gun in a chic posture, turned around and left, and saw Mei Ting's beautiful eyes again and again.

Tang Qiuli is also addicted to guns, can he still let him go to the front line? Needless to say, in terms of strength, Tang Qiuli is really scared of the mountain tiger, that guy is simply a pervert, like a strong King Kong.

is the soldiers of the special guards under him, holding guns at them, and not letting go of themselves, Mei Ting is sad at this level, especially with tears in her eyes and worried looks, Tang Qiuli is distressed to death.

No wonder a famous general sighed, the more troops he commanded, the farther away from the sound of guns, and going into battle to kill the enemy, it could only be a dream thing, Tang Qiuli wanted to feel like this, when the Bloody Hand Regiment first started to fight, one hundred and eighty people, that battle, not to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, how happy and dripping.

The area around Langfang, Hebei Province, in the Beijing-Tianjin Corridor, is a flat field, with open terrain and no dangerous terrain to defend, which is most suitable for large-scale armored clusters to advance or surprise the defenders' positions.

The Zhao Chariot Wing is the only armored unit in the establishment of the Japanese army stationed in North China, equipped with 235 "Izu III" light tanks, more than 80 armored vehicles, and 30 self-propelled guns.

Captain Zhao Yifu, graduated from the Armored Command Department of the 6th Military University of the Imperial Japanese Army, is an authentic Japanese armored commander from a class, since he was stationed in North China, Zhao Yifu's mood is not very good, he is eager to make meritorious contributions, in the battlefield of China, for the family to win glory, Zhao family, but Japan's famous family, all generations are famous generals.

However, looking around the Chinese army in North China, there were not even a few trucks, so where did he go to find an opponent? Even looking at the entire army of the Chinese government, there is no formed armored force, and the master is lonely, Zhao sighed helplessly.

On the night of the 77 Incident, Zhao, who was stationed in Tianjin, asked Commander Tashiro Wanichiro for war several times and asked for support for the Beiping battlefield, but he was all refused, and after being transferred to Beiping, he was even more uncomfortable.

Zhao Yifu was in the command car, ordered all the vehicles to turn on the headlights, all forward, he wanted to be the first to rush to Tianjin, let those soldiers who were only fighting with rifles, under the tracks of the tank, cry out in pain, with the blood of the soldiers of China, wash the chariot.

In order to ensure that there was enough assault force, Zhao refused to divide the troops into two parts, evenly distributed in two directions, he concentrated all his forces in the direction of Langfang, in his expert eyes, Langfang area, is North China, natural tank battlefield, even if the Chinese army has a blocking position, it can not withstand the assault of his own wing.

Zhao asked for a degree, but in this way, the distance between the tank and the infantry was widened, and the armored troops without infantry cover were very vulnerable to attacks from different directions, and Zhao did not take this into account, but the slow movement of the infantry made him extremely impatient.

When the Zhao Chariot Wing appeared in the sight of the soldiers of the Independent Division, it had already opened a distance of fifteen kilometers from the follow-up Japanese infantry.

In the pitch-black field, a large area of snow-white light appeared in the telescope of the observation post at the forward observation post of the independent division, in fact, you can see it really without a telescope, and in the dark night, the lights of hundreds of motor vehicles, like flashing wolf eyes, are extremely clear.

The situation was quickly reported to the command headquarters, and Tang Qiuli and the generals in the command headquarters also saw a light on the vast field, and the Japanese tanks could only go in this direction, Tang Qiuli gave an order to proceed according to the predetermined battle plan.

The artillery positions of the blocking troops of the independent division are slowly raised with thick muzzles one by one, and the artillery observation posts at the front constantly report the distance, movement, and orientation of the Japanese armored troops approaching the blocking positions.

The dozens of high-marching Japanese tanks at the front suddenly turned headlong into the anti-tank trench dug by the independent division, almost vertically erected, with stubby barrels, directly plunged into the soft soil, snorted a few times, and spewed out a puff of smoke and extinguished the fire.

However, the Japanese troops in the tank couldn't get out, and they hurriedly shouted loudly on the radio, and Zhao Yifu was somewhat surprised when he learned about the situation. Know how to dig an anti-tank ditch?

However, this is not difficult for Akikazuo, it is just a pediatric trick, he ordered the follow-up tanks and armored vehicles, along the road opened by the tanks planted in the ditch, with these tanks as stepping stones, continue to advance, the big deal is to finish the battle, drag it up again, and repair it.

According to the order, the Japanese tanks divided into several roads and prepared to pass through the anti-tank trench in turn, when suddenly, in the dark and silent field in front of them, bursts of fire broke out, followed by the rumbling sound of huge artillery.

The bright lights of the car in the dark night are the best target, and the artillerymen of the independent division, without even using the artillery observer to report the coordinates, face the lights and fiercely pass the shells.

The fierce artillery fire shrouded the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in a steel storm of death, and the artillery fire was so dense that some Japanese tanks were directly hit by several shells at the same time, and exploded into a ball of fire, and the turrets that blew up flew into the sky.

The earth was burning, trembling, the Japanese tank assembly place was blown into a sea of fire, in the duel between artillery and tanks, the tanks could not take advantage, and the Japanese tanks began to fire back, but their tanks were equipped with direct-aim artillery, and they suffered a loss on the way, and the shells that came out exploded far away from the artillery positions of the independent division

However, 30 Japanese self-propelled guns wielded their might, and in a rapid attack, the artillery positions of the independent division burst into flames, and more than a dozen guns were blown up, and the artillery also suffered casualties.

However, the good days of the Japanese self-propelled artillery were obviously coming to an end, and after capturing the ballistic trajectory, it immediately attracted the retaliation of nearly 100 artillery pieces, and the raindrops of shells smashed on the gun positions of the Japanese self-propelled guns, and the disproportionate density of firepower can be imagined.

When the Japanese infantry arrived behind, the vast battlefield was full of smoke-emitting tanks and armored vehicles, and from time to time there were bombs that exploded, and a fireball wrapped in smoke exploded.

Akikazuo can no longer display his ambitions and make achievements, in the command car, he has been burned into a ball of black coal, only the dull command knife, and the name engraved on the hilt, can identify him.

The Japanese infantrymen looked at this qiē in amazement, opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues, and a thick chill came out of their hearts, the armored warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, all of them were shattered like this, and we who were not protected by steel shells would not end up even worse?

The commander of the Japanese army who reinforced Tianjin did not allow him to be frightened, and ordered the troops to hurry through Guò, Tianjin was tight, Takashima had already sent several telegrams for help, his fortifications were under fierce siege, and they were gradually compressed, and without foreign aid, Tianjin would be lost.

The Japanese troops in the brigade were cold, trembling through the burning armored vehicles, and did not encounter the bullets and artillery fire of the team, but were killed by the exploding Japanese tanks, and the Japanese commander felt this bad luck in his heart.

Less than a kilometer after crossing the anti-tank trench, the pitch-black field in front of it suddenly came to life, bursting out with sparks, light and heavy machine gun bullets, and a gust of wind blew on the flat ground, sweeping towards the dense Japanese formation.

Then, countless mortar shells and large-caliber artillery shells fell like a meteor shower into the ranks of the Japanese army, and in the direction of their advance, they exploded into a wall of fire, an impenetrable sea of death.

The Japanese reinforcements of the Eighth Guard Division, the avant-garde Eighth Division, were dealt a heavy blow, the chief of staff of the division and regiment was torn apart by the shells, the division commander was seriously wounded, and one-fifth of the reduced strength of the unit was disabled.

The artillery of the Japanese army hurriedly built a position and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the artillery position of the independent division, and it was an artillery battle, and the shells of both sides, dragging the dark red tail flame, shuttled back and forth like meteors, and the artillery of the independent division showed their might, and the Japanese artillery was dumbfounded.

At the end of the battle, a Japanese artillery fire, it would attract the siege of more than five guns of the artillery of the independent division, and the Japanese artillery commander almost vomited blood, and after more than a long time, almost all the artillery groups under his command were destroyed and destroyed.

There are not a few intact artillery pieces left, as far as he knows, the team, there are not so many artillery pieces at all, and there are not so many shells, but the team's shells did fall on their heads, and the power is much greater than the shells of the imperial army, what the hell?
