Ge Dazhuang's tank division's advance on the Japanese second line of defense was not as fast as planned.
The bunker groups and trenches set up by the Japanese outside Tianjin were too dense. The tank divisions needed to conquer and crush them one by one to prevent the surviving Japanese from creating obstacles for the 302nd Division that followed.
Since the direction of the tank division's attack was completely beyond Shiro Sumita's expectations, his Sakura Special Attack Team was ambushed in another direction and had not yet been effective.
Xie Tianfei flew over the tank division and contacted Ge Dazhuang, reminding him that the Japanese might launch a poison gas attack.
A poison gas attack is fatal to any unit, and tanks are not airtight. If tank crews inhale Red One, the tank they are driving will be disabled.
A paralyzed tank is a lamb to be slaughtered. Just like when Li Changshun used 500 kilograms of chili peppers to attack the tank regiment of the 20th Division during the Battle of Yangquan, a tank attacked by poison gas has no power to fight back.
Ge Dazhuang was shocked when he heard Xie Tian's reminder and hurriedly ordered the crew members of each vehicle to put on gas masks.
This thing is too stuffy and has limited sight. Generally, tankers are not willing to put this thing on their heads during combat.
Hearing that Ge Dazhuang had given the order, Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and led the Flying Tigers to attack along the Japs' second line of defense, disrupting the Japs' defensive rhythm.
No longer worried about the Japanese gas bombs, Xie Tian did not have the slightest worry about the tank divisions dealing with the bunker group.
The trenches and bunkers at the Shenma turret stronghold are all scum in front of the X-1 main battle tanks. Take the cement bunkers that the Japanese regard as permanent fortifications. Although the tank gun's J-piercing bullets cannot cause damage to the permanent bunkers, , but the huge self-weight of the X-1 is unbearable by the Japanese permanent bunker. As long as the X-1 main battle tank crushes it, it can directly crush the Japanese permanent bunker into pieces, or even directly destroy the bunker. Together with the Japanese inside, they were crushed into the ground and buried alive.
Have you ever seen a tank bury a Japanese soldier alive?
Ge Dazhuang is a good player. He can control the tank to rotate in one direction. He can use the tank's huge weight and tracks to push the soil on the ground to fill a trench in an instant. This control method is widely promoted among the tank troops and is specially used to deal with trenches and The Japanese ambushed in the foxholes, and the slow-reacting ones have no chance of escaping from the trenches. Even if they are lucky enough to escape, if they are slow, they will be directly crushed into a pile of pulp by the tank tracks.
Xie Tian led the Flying Tigers to attack the Japanese troops along the second line of defense, which actually had little effect. The Japanese troops on the second line of defense were basically huddled in bunker towers and trenches, which meant that the towers still had some bombing value. As for the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches, The Japs' dive and strafing attacks could not kill a few of them. The effect was not significant in terms of the shooting angle at the moment of the aircraft's dive. The main thing was to disrupt the Japs' rhythm.
Have a taste of what it feels like to be bullied on top of your head, you bitches.
At this time, a violent explosion and a raging fire in a foxhole attracted Xie Tiande's attention. Xie Tiande asked strangely: "Old Huo, you were the one who dug that foxhole just now. How could it be like this?" Big explosion effect?”
Holyfield chuckled and replied: "I did the shooting. Who knows, maybe the little guy in the foxhole was holding a bag of explosives. He was unlucky and was chosen by God."
Xie Tian frowned slightly and said, "No, brothers, don't go forward any further. Turn back and dig a few more foxholes."
If the Japs in the foxhole were just holding a bag of explosives, it would only cause a violent explosion, but not such a big fire.
Explosive packets can already cause certain damage to the X-1 main battle tank. If the fire ignites again, the damage caused to the tank will be fatal.
Thanks to God, he knew that Ge Dazhuang's tank division was following behind his flying formation, and it wouldn't take long for him to arrive here.
It didn't matter to the Flying Tigers. They were all fighting the Japs anyway, so it was just a matter of going one extra mile. The Japs' limited anti-aircraft machine guns would not pose much of a threat to the Flying Tigers.
Xie Tian led the Flying Tigers to circle around and fly back, this time focusing on attacking the foxholes scattered among the bunkers.
Sure enough, two more Japanese soldiers in foxholes were hit, causing violent explosions and raging fires. Naturally, the Japanese soldiers who were hit were torn apart in an instant and ended their lives. However, Xie Tian's face changed, and he hurriedly said: The radio station called: "Dazhuang, your tank division has temporarily stopped advancing. The Japanese have ambushed the suicide squad in front of you. You can continue to advance after we clear the obstacles for you."
Ge Dazhuang heard the sound and hurriedly ordered the tank division to stop advancing.
Seeing that the People's Liberation Army tank division, which had been advancing gradually, stopped a thousand meters away, Captain Yamaguchi, who was in charge of commanding the Sakura Special Attack Team, lost his mentality.
This damn victory was about to be achieved, why did they stop?
Above his head, Xie Tian had already issued an order to the Flying Tigers: "Brothers, the Japanese have ambushed the suicide squad in the foxholes below. They should be specially designed to deal with our tank troops. Don't be soft, everyone, I will wipe them out. After this fight, we will get rewards when we go back."
Whoever is so fucking soft is a bastard.
Holyfield was already swooping down with a chuckle, and the machine gun bullets drew a line directly into the three foxholes.
"Boom, boom, boom", the three foxholes emitted violent explosions almost at the same time, and ignited a raging fire.
Sure enough, it is a suicide squad that specializes in dealing with tanks.
Xie Tian's eyes narrowed and he also controlled the plane to dive down.
As foxholes were blown up one after another, Yamaguchi already understood that the People's Liberation Army's aircraft in the sky had seen through their combat intentions. At this moment, the People's Liberation Army's tanks were still parked a thousand meters away, and the Sakura Special Attack Team he led did not even have rifles. The fighter jets constantly swooping down to attack them are force majeure for them.
Captain Yamaguchi’s eyes turned red.
Are you, Xie Baoqing's troops, still fucking human beings? Don't you even give us a chance to commit suicide?
Captain Yamaguchi jumped out of the foxhole screaming: "Kill the chicken for me, kill the chicken for me, blow up the Chinese tanks."
The 1,780 Sakura Special Forces soldiers who had not been killed by the planes jumped out of the foxholes and rushed madly towards the People's Liberation Army tank division a thousand meters away.
Richard, who was swooping down, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "These funny guys, they would have to vomit blood from running over such a long distance, wouldn't they?"
Holyfield laughed and said: "God is merciful, so God will not let them run past."
"Da da da da..." Holyfield and the Flying Tigers played the role of God.
One of the Sakura Special Forces members who was blown up burst into flames, dragging several Sakura Special Forces members who were running close to him into the sea of fire.
In the distance, Ge Dazhuang looked at the Sakura special attack team running towards them, shook his head, and ordered in an angry voice: "Give them a few shots first, and when they get close, I will shoot them to death with a machine gun."
The reason for the loud sound was because Ge Dazhuang was still wearing a gas mask.
Some of the tank division soldiers couldn't wait to open the hatch cover, holding the external death cannon and aiming at the guys running over to die.
