Chapter 398: Liberation of Tianjin Six
Zhao Gang watched the Zero fighter piloted by Xie Tian rush into the sky, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and his heart also twitched.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he still can't hold Xie Tian in front of him.
Just now, Xie Tian taught him a solid lesson, and Zhao Gang's ideology also changed, and Xie Tian's image in his mind became even greater, and even those small problems on Xie Tian began to turn into advantages.
Yes, great.
Zhao Gang believes that only this word can describe Xie Tian's image in his mind.
Zhao Gang watched the fighter plane piloted by Xie Tian disappear from view, and quickly returned to the big tent of the general front point, he had to keep in touch with Xie Tian at any time, and report the collected information from all aspects to Xie Tian, and let him make a judgment.
The guiding light is always the direction that night walkers are chasing, and it will eventually lead people out of the darkness and towards the light.
Xie Tian flew over the battlefield to meet the air force of the PLA troops, and he was relieved to see the battlefield under his feet.
The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the devils shelled a large number of poison gas bombs on the battlefield, which was also the biggest killer weapon of Sumida Shiro against the PLA, and the Japanese army stored a large number of red No. 1 in the ammunition depot in Tianjin, which was enough to cover the entire urban area of Tianjin, and this was also the Japanese army's entire North China theater of poison gas bomb stockpile.
It's just that the Japanese army has now lost its three-dimensional means of attack, and after shelling poison gas bombs at the battlefield, it can only dispatch anti-chemical warfare troops into the battlefield to destroy the enemy.
Red No. 1 can render the enemy incapacitated in thirty seconds, but it is not fatal, and it requires chemical defense soldiers to enter the battlefield and use bayonets to deal with the enemy one by one.
Shiro Sumita completely ignored the cavalry of the Mengzi Army who were fighting with the cavalry of the People's Liberation Army when he ordered the firing of poison gas bombs into the battlefield, and now on the battlefield, there was no distinction between enemy and enemy, and a large number of troops and war horses of both sides had fallen, and the anti-chemical warfare wing, which had already been prepared, wore chemical protection uniforms, wore gas masks, and carried the 38 big covers with good bayonets rushed out of the trenches in ambush and rushed to the battlefield.
No bullets are needed against an enemy who has completely lost its combat effectiveness, bayonets are enough to solve it.
Shiro Sumida originally thought that the release of poison gas bombs would stop the offensive of the People's Liberation Army, allowing him to concentrate his forces against the PLA troops who were raiding the second line of defense.
The retreating Japanese troops were still more than a dozen miles away from the second line of defense on the outskirts of Tianjin, and the radio had been able to get in touch with the commander in charge of the second line of defense, and Shiro Surita had learned that it was the PLA tank unit that was now attacking the second line of defense, which was the most troublesome for him.
In order to deal with the tank forces of the PLA, Shiro Sumida organized a Sakura special attack team of 200 people.
The Sakura Special Attack Team is a literal and nice name, in essence, this special attack team is a human bomber team, each special attack team member is strapped with grenades and kerosene, and is ambushed in the foxhole in advance, as long as the PLA tank passes nearby, these special combat team members will jump out of the foxhole and pounce on the PLA tank, pull the grenade on the body to detonate the kerosene, and die together with the PLA tank.
In order to prevent these special attack members from being frightened in battle, Shiro Sumita ordered the Ministry of Military Justice to register the immediate family members of each special combat member, and bluntly said that if they were to fight timidly, they would definitely bring ruin to their families, and all the family members, young and old, would be sent to the battlefield and all the women would serve as comfort.
But if they rush to the top, whether they succeed or not, the family will receive a large pension, and if they win, the pension will be doubled.
The crazy Japanese were used to using this kind of method that even brutes couldn't do when they jumped over the wall, so they had kamikaze special forces, suicide torpedoes, and now the Sakura Task Force organized by Shiro Sumida.
As a result, Shiro Sukita did not expect the gas bomb attack to be launched did not achieve the expected effect, mainly because the advance speed of the infantry of the PLA troops was too slow.
Damn, they have been attacking from a distance, and they haven't caught up at all, and they are completely in a posture of cleaning up the battlefield.
How do you release a gas bomb if you don't catch up? Well?
Fortunately, the cavalry units of the People's Liberation Army rushed up and became entangled with the cavalry units of the Mengzi Army, so that Sumida Shiro found the opportunity to fire poison gas bombs.
As a result, his anti-chemical forces had just rushed up to prepare to deal with the PLA cavalry, which had lost their resistance, when the PLA air force appeared.
Hundreds of planes are simply torture and killing those anti-chemical warfare soldiers who wear chemical protective suits and act clumsily.
Pieces of anti-chemical warfare troops fell under the strafing and bombing of the PLA planes, and the anti-chemical warfare troops were already defeated by the PLA Air Force before they even approached the battlefield filled with poisonous gas, and less than one-tenth of the anti-chemical warfare troops of a wing fled back, and they were directly knocked out two levels, and only one squadron was left in the damn way.
I can't fight this battle.
Since 918, Shiro Sumita has not encountered such a rich Chinese army, and he has been completely crushed all the way.
You hit him with one shell, and you return ten shells to you.
You have infantry charging here, and he is crushed by tanks there.
You tanks return fire here, and planes bomb him there.
There's no way to fight this battle.
Shiro Sukita was already broken down inside, and he gave the troops another order to retreat.
The first line of defense has been completely lost, and the second line of defense is still unknown, and it seems that the only way now is to retreat to the city and fight a roadway battle with the PLA.
Go back, you still want to go back when you come out, how can there be such a cheap thing.
Thankfully, he finally seized the opportunity to destroy the Japanese army in the field, and he could not allow the Japanese army to retreat to the city like this.
Xie Tian flew over the battlefield and gave full play to the advantage of God's perspective, commanding the 301st Division of the 52nd Army led by Li Yunlong to bypass the poison gas bomb attack area and outflank the retreating Japanese army.
Fortunately, the poison gas bomb released by the devil is the red No. 1, otherwise Xie Tian is afraid that he will (definitely) go crazy now, and the result of Xie Tian's madness is that he will order the troops to rain bombs on the Japanese army at any cost, including relatively expensive cluster bombs, even if a cluster bomb can only destroy a hundred devils, he will not hesitate to order it to be dropped.
As long as the tank division and the 302nd division can successfully take the second line of defense on the outskirts of Tianjin, they will be able to complete the plan of encircling the Japanese puppet army on the first line of defense, and the battle on the periphery of the battle to liberate Tianjin will be declared over.
Xie Tian confessed to leading the air force to chase down the Japanese army, and led the nine planes of the Flying Tigers to fly across the battlefield to the second line of defense.
Sansheng and the others did not communicate well with the Flying Tigers, so they were thankful that they could communicate with these foreign buddies without any hindrance, and simply took them away from the first battlefield to save any miscalculations caused by communication.
