Zhao Gang watched the Zero fighter piloted by Xie Tian soar into the sky. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and his heart began to tighten.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, but he still couldn't hold Xie Tian still in front of the headquarters.
Just now, Xie Tian taught him another solid lesson. Zhao Gang's thoughts and concepts also changed accordingly, and Xie Tian's image in his mind became even greater. Even Xie Tian's minor problems began to disappear. became an advantage.
Yes, great.
Zhao Gang believed that only this word could describe Xie Tian's image in his mind.
Zhao Gang watched the fighter plane piloted by Xie Tian disappear from sight, and quickly returned to the big tent at the front of the headquarters. He wanted to maintain communication with Xie Tian at all times, screen the collected information from all aspects and report it to Xie Tian, who would then make a decision. judge.
That guiding light will always be the direction that night travelers chase. It will eventually lead people out of the darkness and toward the light.
Xie Tianfei flew over the battlefield to meet with the People's Liberation Army's air force, and he was relieved when he saw the battlefield below his feet.
The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the Japanese bombarded the battlefield with a large number of poison gas bombs. This was Shiro Sumita's biggest weapon against the People's Liberation Army. The Japanese army stored a large number of Red No. 1 in the ammunition depot in Tianjin, enough to cover the entire urban area of Tianjin. Yes, this is also the Japanese army's poison gas bomb inventory in the entire North China Theater.
It's just that the Japanese army has now lost the three-dimensional three-dimensional strike method. After bombarding the battlefield with poison gas bombs, it can only dispatch chemical defense troops to enter the battlefield to eliminate the enemy.
Red No. 1 can disable the enemy's combat effectiveness within thirty seconds, but it will not be fatal. Chemical defense soldiers need to enter the battlefield and kill the enemies one by one with bayonets.
When Shiro Sumita ordered the firing of poison gas bombs on the battlefield, he did not take into account the Mongolian cavalry who were fighting the People's Liberation Army cavalry. Now on the battlefield, a large number of troops and war horses from both sides fell without distinction between the enemy and ourselves. They had already prepared their defenses. Wearing chemical protective suits and gas masks, the chemical regiment rushed out of the ambush trenches and rushed to the battlefield with Sanba Gaigai equipped with bayonets.
There is no need for bullets to deal with enemies who have completely lost their combat effectiveness. Bayonets are enough to deal with them.
Shiro Sumita originally thought that releasing the gas bombs would stop the People's Liberation Army's offensive, allowing him to concentrate his forces on the People's Liberation Army troops who were raiding the second line of defense.
The retreating Japanese troops are still more than ten miles away from the second line of defense on the outskirts of Tianjin. The radio has been able to contact the commander in charge of the second line of defense. Shiro Sumita has learned that the second line of defense is now being attacked. The line of defense was the People's Liberation Army tank unit that gave him the most headache.
In order to deal with the People's Liberation Army's tank troops, Sumita Shiro organized a 200-person Sakura special attack team.
Sakura Special Forces is a nice name literally. In essence, this special attack team is a suicide bombing team. Each special attack team member is strapped with grenades and kerosene and ambushed in a foxhole in advance. As long as the People's Liberation Army tanks pass nearby. , these special forces members would jump out of the foxholes and rush towards the People's Liberation Army tanks, pull the grenades on them to detonate the kerosene, and die together with the People's Liberation Army tanks.
In order to prevent these special forces members from timidizing in battle, Shiro Sumita ordered the Ministry of Military Justice to register the immediate family members of each special forces member, and bluntly stated that if they were timid in the face of battle, they would definitely bring disaster to their families, and the family members would not be separated. All men, old and young, were sent to the battlefield, and all women served as comfort.
But if you rush forward, no matter whether you succeed or not, your family will receive a large pension. If you succeed, the pension will be doubled.
The crazy Japanese are accustomed to using methods that even beasts can't do when desperate, so they have kamikaze agents, suicide torpedoes, and now the Sakura Special Forces organized by Sumita Shiro.
As a result, Shiro Sumita did not expect that the poison gas bomb attack did not achieve the expected effect, mainly because the advancement speed of the People's Liberation Army infantry was too slow.
Damn it, they had been attacking from a distance, and they didn't catch up at all. They just put on a posture of cleaning up the battlefield.
How to release gas bombs without catching up? Um?
Fortunately, the cavalry troops of the People's Liberation Army rushed up and entangled the cavalry troops of the Mengzi Army, and Shiro Sumita found the opportunity to launch poison gas bombs.
As a result, his chemical defense troops had just rushed forward to deal with the People's Liberation Army cavalry, which had lost its resistance, when the People's Liberation Army's air force appeared.
Hundreds of planes were attacking the clumsy chemical defense soldiers wearing chemical protective suits, and they were simply killing them.
Pieces of chemical defense soldiers fell under the strafing and bombing of the People's Liberation Army aircraft. The chemical defense soldiers were defeated by the People's Liberation Army Air Force before they even got close to the poisonous gas-filled battlefield. Less than ten of the chemical defense soldiers of a regiment escaped. One of them was directly knocked down two levels, and there was only one fucking squadron left.
This battle is unwinnable.
Since 918, Shiro Sumita has never encountered such a wealthy Chinese army, and he was completely crushed in the whole process.
If you hit him with one cannonball, he will return ten cannonballs to you.
The infantry charges here, and the tanks crush them there.
Tanks here are fighting back, and planes are bombing them there.
There is absolutely no way to fight this battle.
Shiro Sumita's heart collapsed and he gave the troops another order to retreat.
The first line of defense has been completely lost, and we still don't know how the second line of defense is doing. It seems that the only way now is to retreat to the city and fight in the lanes with the People's Liberation Army.
Go back, even if you want to go back after the capital is out, how can it be so cheap?
Xie Tian finally seized the opportunity to eliminate the Japanese army in the wild. How could he allow the Japanese army to retreat to the city like this?
Xie Tianfei flew over the battlefield and took full advantage of his God's perspective to direct the 301st Division of the 52nd Army led by Li Yunlong to bypass the gas bomb attack area and outflank the retreating Japanese troops.
Fortunately, the gas bombs released by the Japanese were Red No. 1, otherwise Xie Tian would (certainly) go crazy now. The result of Xie Tian's madness would be to order the troops to pour bombs on the Japanese army regardless of the cost, including relatively expensive cluster bombs, even if One cluster bomb could only kill a hundred Japs, and he would order it to be dropped without hesitation.
The battle situation on the first line of defense has been relatively stable. As long as the Tank Division and the 302nd Division can successfully capture the second line of defense on the outskirts of Tianjin, the plan to encircle the first line of defense by the Japanese and puppet troops can be completed. The peripheral battle for the liberation of Tianjin is about to begin. Can be declared over.
Xie Tian confessed to Sansheng Yiyiban, who led the air force to hunt down the Japanese army, and led nine Flying Tigers planes to cross the battlefield and fly to the second line of defense.
Sansheng and others had poor communication with the Flying Tigers, so they thanked Tian for being able to communicate with these foreign guys without any problems. He simply took them away from the first battlefield to avoid any misjudgments caused by communication.
