On the outskirts of Shijiazhuang, Li Changshun led the tank division and drove straight in, as if entering uninhabited territory.
The Type 97 tank did not resist the beating and followed behind. The ones advancing in front were all X-1 main battle tanks, charging directly up against the firepower of the Japanese stronghold.
The bullets from the light and heavy machine guns hit the armor of the X-1 and made a clanging noise like fried beans. The mortar D landing directly on the tank was like throwing a walnut into the pot. There was nothing that could be done except to make the noise louder. X-1 main battle tank.
What a permanent bunker, just hit it and crush it, turning it into cement-filled meat buns.
Minefield?
You think too much, why should I leave the road open and not walk through your minefield?
Let the engineers at the back deal with the minefield slowly.
The Dongguan stronghold, the base camp of the Japanese Ninth Division in Shijiazhuang, is known as the strongest stronghold in Shijiazhuang. However, it was directly crushed to the ground by X1 tanks. It only took a dozen more artillery shells to blow up the four artillery towers. Li Changshun If I didn't feel sorry for the tanks, I would have wanted to just run into them and crush them to pieces.
The tank division rampaged and destroyed the Japanese strongholds and entered the city directly. Qin Fen led the 49th Army to cover on three sides and followed the tank division until he ran out of breath.
The Japanese Ninth Division launched a full-scale attack on Jingxing. The remaining troops in Shijiazhuang City were only a baggage regiment, an engineering regiment, a gendarmerie brigade, more than 6,000 Japanese non-combat troops of the division, and more than 5,000 puppets from the mixed security brigade. Army defense.
Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of the puppet army. When fighting, you can completely ignore them. They are just a bunch of idiots. It’s okay to stand guard and bully the people. Don’t expect them to fight hard. They will run away when they gain the upper hand. They are faster than anyone else, always rushing to the front to bark, and they run the fastest when they lose ground. They can't be found when the gunfire sounds.
Now faced with the PLA tanks rushing up in darkness, these guys dropped their guns and took off their clothes without saying a word and ran away without a trace. The clever ones had already put on civilian clothes under their military uniforms and went wherever they wanted. The cat can escape the disaster.
The Japanese baggage troops and engineering troops are not the main combat troops. They have limited weapons and equipment. That is to say, the military police can still block it. Unfortunately, there is only one brigade of military police, only a few hundred people. How can they resist a tank division and an army of the People's Liberation Army? attack.
Hearing the faint explosion of bombs coming from the direction of Shijiazhuang, the face of the commander of the Japanese Ninth Division changed.
Shijiazhuang is the base camp of the Ninth Division. This time, all troops were deployed to attack Jingxing in the name of Yamada Mizun. The troops had just started to attack Jingxing, but Yamada Mizun changed the order in the morning and ordered them to retreat quickly. The head of the Ninth Division commander is still full of melons. Confused, now that he heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of Shijiazhuang, the commander of the Ninth Division immediately became anxious and immediately ordered the mobile troops to quickly return to Shijiazhuang to aid.
If Shijiazhuang is lost, even if the commander of the 9th Division of Jingxing is captured, he will face severe military punishment.
But it's unclear where this battle went. Where did Xie Baoqing get the troops to attack Shijiazhuang?
Seeing the lights of Japanese cars lighting up at the bottom of the mountain, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who had been preparing for a long time, gave orders, and the 302nd Division and the 303rd Division launched a blocking attack at the same time.
The terrain of Jingxing is good. It is surrounded by mountains and is an isolated basin. The two main roads in and out of Jingxing are under the control of the 302nd Division and the 303rd Division. There is also an ambush of the 301st Division in the underground fortifications of Jingxing, which is a good way to catch turtles in the jar. .
At this time, Xie Tian's voice came from the radio stations of the three divisions at the same time: "The 301st Division should not attack. The 302nd Division and the 303rd Division will use red flares to mark your positions."
Hearing Xie Tian's voice, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ancestor, you are here.
Little did they know that Xie Tian had just led an aircraft formation to fight a battle in Jiayingguan. The aircraft formation was replenishing ammunition and fuel at Changzhi Airport. Several aircraft had to replace the machine guns that had been disabled on the aircraft. After that, they rushed to the airport without stopping. Come to Jingxing.
Fortunately, we arrived in time before the Japanese had time to escape.
As dozens of flares were fired into the sky, the pilots saw the densely packed Japs in the Jingxing Basin, and Holyfield couldn't help but laugh:
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I will go to hell if I fight with you."
Yes, Holyfield and the Flying Tigers have lost count of how many Japanese blood donations they have on their hands.
Jiaying watched the battle and his hands were weak. Each of them had thousands of lives on their backs, and their military achievements could not be calculated.
However, what Xie Baoqing gave them was far more attractive than military exploits. If they were willing, they could return to the United States and become wealthy estate owners, or they could simply lie down on the beach in Miami and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful women.
Xie Tian smiled coldly: "Then let's liberate hell together, but before liberating, we must first send all these sons of bitches down."
Richard laughed and said, "God will forgive them."
Xie Tian's conversation with the Flying Tigers was in English, which few PLA pilots could understand.
At this time, Tie Dan's stumbling English came from the radio: "Your God is a good man. He will definitely forgive them. Our task is to send these little devils to see him."
Tiedan's English pronunciation was not accurate, and his word choice was not accurate, but the Flying Tigers understood him.
The members of the Flying Tigers laughed loudly, and Holyfield laughed and said: "You are still good, so okay, we will send them to see God according to your instructions."
As he spoke, Holyfield had already pressed the bomb release button, and the huge cluster bombs roared and fell on the heads of the devils.
The forty P-40 fighter jets ordered by the Chongqing government from the United States specifically for the Flying Tigers were a reduced version. They originally did not have external bomb hangers. However, after these nine P-40s were assigned to the 10th Theater Command , Xie Tian installed an aerial bomb hanger for them. This thing is not high in technical content, but it is a little troublesome, but with elites like Xu Jinghao and Deng Bo, it can be easily solved.
This is another battle without any suspense.
A sea of fire and blood enveloped the land of Jingxing, and the passage to hell was opened again.
The fighting in Jingxing continued until daybreak. The fighting had spread from the urban area of Jingxing to the surrounding mountains and forests. Fighting broke out in all directions. The only hope of survival for the defeated Japanese troops of the two divisions was to escape into the vast mountains.
The battle in Shijiazhuang lasted all night and was not over. The remaining stubborn Japanese enemies had not yet been eliminated. However, Qin Fen had already led the 49th Army into the urban area of Shijiazhuang. The urban area was filled with flying PLA flags.
As the red sun rose, the scattered gunshots in the city began to gradually subside.
After sitting all night by the oil lamp, Yamada heard the morning rooster crowing outside the window, sobered up, stood up helplessly holding on to the wooden table, opened the door, and took a look at the disturbing red sun. , handed a piece of paper in his hand to the attendant who was bruised and swollen, and ordered: "Send it out and go back to Shanghai."
After saying that, Yamada took three long steps towards the train that was parked on the railway track like a dead snake.
The attendant greeted Yamada's mother in his heart and raised the piece of paper: To the Army Headquarters and His Excellency Hideki Tojo, the criminal Yamada was unable to take over the war in the North China Front and committed an unforgivable mistake, and requested to resign. Yamada holds the post of Commander-in-Chief of the North China Front and Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Front. On the day when his successor arrives, Yamada will have a caesarean section to express his gratitude to the Emperor.
