Sukita Shiro's ideals are very full, he knows that the river can no longer stop the PLA, he put the puppet army and the Mengzi army in front in the hope that these two armies can resist the offensive of the PLA, and then decide whether the main force will attack or retreat to the second line of defense depending on the situation on the battlefield.

As a result, the reality is too skinny, the People's Liberation Army is a fucking local tyrant fighting, and he didn't even see a figure, and he just relied on continuous artillery preparation to break up a security brigade of the puppet army.

And until now, Shiro Sumida has not known where the most elite tank division of the PLA is, and there is an even more terrifying air force, which has not been dispatched until now.

But when the guns rang out from behind him, Shiro Sumita knew it was too late.

After Ge Dazhuang led the tank division to cross the river, he did not launch an attack on the Japanese puppet army on the river defense line at all, but directly inserted into the second line of defense of the Japanese army, the fortification group on the outskirts of Tianjin, according to the operational deployment.

In the periphery of Tianjin, after several years of operation, the Japanese army built countless pillboxes, strongholds, and artillery towers, and the trenches and barbed wire fences one after another, and every traffic artery leading to the urban area was a dense group of pillboxes.

Such a fortification complex is a nightmare for the infantry, and it is difficult to break through even with air support.

The aerial bombs dropped by the aircraft did not do much damage to the bunker group, even if it was a cluster bomb, and the cost performance was too low.

An aerial bomb is expensive, and it is too much luxury to bomb just one pillbox, let alone an even more expensive cluster bomb.

But dealing with these bunker groups of devils is no problem at all for the X-1 main battle tank whose armor is thicker than its skin, not to mention that Ge Dazhuang also deliberately hung sandbags and sleepers outside the tank, adding an extra layer of protection, and the devil's machine gun mortar hitting the tank will not cause much damage to the tank.

With the Ge Dazhuang Tank Division launching an attack on the second line of defense of the Japanese army, the air force units, which had long been preparing for a long time, finally launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Hundreds of P40s flew over the battlefield with bombs, machine-gun fire when there were no targets worth bombing.

What is a target worth bombing?

The artillery positions of the Japanese army were the first choice, followed by the places where the Japanese were densely populated.

As for the tank wing of the Japanese army, it is not worth mentioning at all, the thin armor of the Type 97 tank and the Type 94 tank is enough to deal with the on-board machine gun and machine gun, and the 20 mm caliber machine gun attack the 25 mm thin frontal armor of the Type 97 tank can easily penetrate, and these tanks are mobile tofu blocks in the eyes of the pilot, as long as they are staring at it, they can't run away.

Hearing the sound of gunfire behind him, Shiro Sumita was already stunned.

His plan was very good, if the river reduction line could not withstand the PLA, then immediately withdraw to the second line of defense pillbox group, use the bunker trench barbed wire fence to defend, and then use his killer weapon to launch an attack on the attacking PLA troops.

As a result, now the troops of the People's Liberation Army have directly copied his rear road to fight the second line of defense.

Shiro Sumida's scalp was numb, and without hesitation, he gave the order to retreat to the city and return to the second line of defense.

If the second line of defense is broken by the PLA, it is equivalent to cutting off the first line of defense, which is the retreat of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army began to retreat desperately, and Xie Tian, who received a report from the air force, gave Li Yunlong the order for the ground troops to attack.

Finally, there is a chance to destroy the enemy on the outskirts of Tianjin, and Xie Tian will not easily let these little devils run back.

Li Yunlong could only smile bitterly when he received the order, it seems that since the 386th Brigade was transferred to the 10th Theater, his troops have not fought a decent battle, and the infantry has almost played a role in cleaning up the battlefield in the PLA.

The battle of Niangzi Pass was supposed to be a tough battle, but the result was that it was surrounded but not fought, and he was also dismissed, and the final result was the total annihilation of a wing of the Japanese army in Niangzi Pass, with zero battle damage in the headquarters, and only a few soldiers were injured when the Japanese broke through.

Now that the scale of this battle is huge, Li Yunlong originally thought that this time he could finally fight a battle happily, but the result was the current situation, the artillery shells smashed into the enemy's position as if they did not cost money, and the sky was strafing and bombing by planes, and before he even saw the figure of the devil, he received a report that the devil had begun to retreat, and he knew it from the radio.

The local tyrants are different in the war, how could there have been such a lineup when they were in the Eighth Route Army, the air plane support, the ground tanks pushed horizontally, and the bombing of hundreds of artillery pieces.

The easiest unit of the PLA is not the air force, not the armored troops, not the artillery, but the fucking infantry.

Unable to bear it, Li Yunlong sneaked to the cavalry regiment, snatched a war horse from the soldiers, and personally led the cavalry to charge on the other side of the river.

And a fart, the surrender of the surrender, the escape of the escape, the death and wounded, all the fucking run clean.

Seeing Li Yunlong's back, Zhao Gang shook his head lightly speechlessly, looked at Xie Tian, who was about to raise the binoculars, and said, "Commander-in-chief, I don't know what the situation is on President Fu's side, do you want to take a telegram and ask?" ”

Zhao Gang was worried that Xie Tian would lose his temper when he saw Li Yunlong personally charging into battle, so he deliberately diverted the topic and diverted Xie Tian's attention.

Xie Tian really put down the binoculars, shook his head at Zhao Gang and said, "Don't disrupt Mr. Fu's rhythm, if there is a situation, he will send a telegram in time." ”

Fu Zuoyi is commanding the main force of the 42nd Group Army to launch an attack on Langfang and Yangcun to cut off the communication between Pingjin and Tianjin, the Japanese army does not have many garrisons in these two places, Langfang has a brigade and an artillery wing, a tank brigade, and Yangcun has only one infantry wing and an artillery brigade, and it is not very difficult for the two main forces of the 42nd Group Army to attack Yangcun, and it may take some time to attack Langfang, but fortunately, Xie Tian has equipped the 42nd Group Army with an air force division, as long as the tactics are used properly, the problem is not very big.

Don't seek quick success, as long as you can interrupt the devil's communication line, so that the devils between Pingjin and Tianjin can't support each other, and after Xie Tian liberates Tianjin, he can free up his hands to support Fu Zuoyi.

Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Commander-in-chief, in fact, I am still a little puzzled that you don't plan to attack the Jiaodong Peninsula, can you take advantage of the fact that no one is telling me now." ”

The troops had already rushed up, and even the artillery regiment had begun to clear its positions and trucks were ready to follow up, and now there was only one guard regiment and the wolf's tooth brigade and some non-combat units left in the general front command.

For the sake of thanking God's safety, Zhao Gang would not agree to the general front finger starting to move forward now, at least until the end of the battle on the outskirts of Tianjin.

According to Zhao Gang's meaning, Xie Tian should not have come to the front line at all, and his best position was to stand in front of the sand table in the combat command room of the Taiyuan General Headquarters and listen to the reports of all parties.
