Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 410: Beijing-Tianjin Corridor Blockade Battle

Five hours after Liu Tiehan's regiment attacked Tianjin, the Japanese reinforcements in Peiping were finally dispatched. According to the normal marching speed, five hours would be enough to arrive at the gates of Tianjin. Reinforcements were like putting out fires. Why was the Japanese army so slow to respond?

It's a mystery. According to what Kozuki Kiyoshi said after the Battle of Tianjin, it was a waste of a lot of time to assemble troops scattered in various places.

There is a rumor within the Japanese North China Garrison Command that after receiving the news that Tianjin was attacked, the Commander was in extreme pain, seemed hesitant and worried, and completely lost the indomitable spirit of a Japanese soldier. The reinforcements were attacked in Tianjin for five days.

They were dispatched after hours, which subtly illustrates the complex psychological activities of the Commander.

The marching direction of the Japanese reinforcements in Peiping happened to be the key blocking area arranged by Tang Qiuli. It should be said that the net was open and waiting. Does this mean that the Japanese reinforcements returned without success, or that they suffered a bloody blow?

The ending of the flow, but no wonder Xiangyue Qingsi, passing through Langfang is the closest passage to Tianjin.

When he learned that the Japanese reinforcements from Peiping were rushing into the pockets he had arranged, Tang Qiuli became energetic. Seeing that there was no one else in the headquarters, he shouted at Mei Ting: "Madam, bring me the gun!" Mei Ting was so angry.

He pinched him hard and carefully took out the Tang Long Spear. Tang Qiuli stepped on the gun in an elegant manner, turned around and left, looking at Mei Ting's beautiful eyes.

Even if Tang Qiuli was addicted to guns, he could still be allowed to go to the front line? Needless to say, Shanhu, in terms of strength, Tang Qiuli was really scared of Shanhu. That guy was simply a pervert, as powerful as King Kong.

Even her soldiers from the Special Guard held them at gunpoint and refused to let her go. Mei Ting felt sad at this level, especially her worried look with tears in her eyes, which made Tang Qiuli feel distressed to death.

No wonder a famous general in the army lamented that the more troops he commanded, the farther away he was from the sound of guns and cannons. Going into battle to kill the enemy could only be a dream. Tang Qiuli felt like this, the Bloody Hand Regiment.

When the army first started, there were 180 people. That battle was so enjoyable, not just going into battle to kill the enemy, but killing the Japanese pirates with your own hands.

The Beijing-Tianjin Corridor area in Langfang, Hebei Province is a flat wilderness with open terrain and no dangerous terrain to defend. It is most suitable for large-scale armored groups to move in or to assault the defenders' positions.

The Xiaozhao Tank Regiment is the only armored unit among the Japanese troops stationed in North China. It is equipped with 235 "Izu Type III" light tanks, more than 80 armored vehicles, and 30 self-propelled artillery.

On the fertile North China Plain, there is a formidable steel assault force.

Captain Kazuo Kazuo of the Major Regiment, graduated from the Armor Command Department of the Imperial Army University of Japan. He is a Japanese armored force commander with a solid academic background. Since he was stationed in North China, Kazuo Kazuo Kazuo was not in a good mood. He was eager to make contributions, and in

Fighting for glory for the family on the battlefield of China, the Xiaozhao family is a famous family in Japan and has produced famous generals in large numbers throughout the ages.

However, looking around at the Chinese army in North China, there are only a few trucks. Where can he find opponents? Even looking at the entire Chinese government's army, there are no organized armored forces. The masters are lonely, Xiao Zhao sighed helplessly.

On the night of the July 7th Incident, Xiao Zhao, who was stationed in Tianjin, asked Commander Anichiro Tashiro several times to support the Beiping battlefield. However, he was rejected all times. After being transferred to Beiping, he felt even more uncomfortable. Now, there is an opportunity to make a contribution.

Finally here, there is a war in Tianjin.

Xiaozhao Kazuo was in the command car and ordered all the vehicles to turn on their headlights and move forward at full speed. He wanted to be the first to rush to Tianjin, so that the Chinese soldiers who fought with only rifles would scream in pain under the tracks of the tanks.

, wash the chariot with the blood of Chinese soldiers.

In order to ensure sufficient assault force, Xiao Zhao rejected the suggestion of dividing the troops into two parts and deploying them evenly in the two directions. He concentrated all the troops in the direction of Langfang. From his expert perspective, the Langfang area was

North China is a natural tank battlefield. Even if the Chinese army has blocking positions, it cannot withstand the assault of its own regiment.

What Xiao Zhao requires is speed. However, in this way, the distance between tanks and infantry is widened. Armored units without infantry cover are extremely vulnerable to attacks from different directions. It is not that Xiao Zhao did not take this into consideration.

However, the infantry's slow movements made him extremely impatient.

When the Xiaozhao tank regiment appeared in the sight of the ** division soldiers, it was already fifteen kilometers away from the following Japanese infantry.

In the pitch-black wilderness, a large swath of snow-white light appeared in the telescope of the Army Division's forward observation post. In fact, you can see clearly without a telescope. In the dark night, the lights of hundreds of motor vehicles were like shining wolf eyes, which was particularly clear.

.

The situation was quickly reported to the headquarters. Tang Qiuli and the generals in the headquarters also saw a patch of light in the vast wilderness. The Japanese tanks could only go in this direction. Tang Qiuli issued an order to fight as planned.

The plan proceeds.

The artillery position of the ** Division's blocking force, each large-caliber artillery slowly raised its thick muzzle, and the forward artillery observation post constantly reported the distance, movement speed, direction, etc. of the Japanese armored troops approaching the blocking position.

The dozens of Japanese tanks traveling at high speed at the front suddenly turned into the anti-tank trench dug by the Japanese division. They stood almost vertically, their thick and short barrels plunged directly into the soft soil, and their engines hummed a few times.

, puffing out a puff of smoke and extinguishing the flames.

However, the Japanese soldiers in the tank could not get out and shouted anxiously on the radio. Xiao Zhaoyifu was somewhat surprised to learn about the situation. Is there anyone knowledgeable in the Chinese army? Who knows how to dig anti-tank trenches?

However, this was not a problem for Xiao Zhao Kazuo. It was just a childish trick. He ordered the subsequent tanks and armored vehicles to follow the path opened by the tanks that had fallen into the ditch, using these tanks as stepping stones to continue moving forward. At worst, the battle would be over and delayed.

Come up here and fix it.

The Japanese tanks followed the order and divided into several lines, preparing to pass through the anti-tank trenches one by one. Suddenly, in the dark and silent field in front, bursts of fire burst out, followed immediately by the roar of huge artillery fire.

The bright vehicle lights in the dark were the best targets. The artillerymen of the ** division did not even need to report the coordinates to the artillery observers, but fired the artillery shells at the light.

The fierce artillery fire shrouded Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in a steel storm of death. The artillery fire was so dense that some Japanese tanks were directly hit by several shells at the same time and exploded into a ball of fire. The blown turrets were spinning.

Fly to the sky.

The ground was burning and trembling. The Japanese tank assembly area was blown into a sea of ​​fire. In the duel between artillery and tanks, the tanks could not take advantage. The Japanese tanks began to fight back. However, the tanks were equipped with direct-aiming artillery with a range of

So I suffered a loss. The fired shell exploded far away from the ** Division's artillery position, causing the soil to fly up. It looked lively, but it was useless!

However, the thirty Japanese self-propelled artillery exerted their power. With a round of rapid fire, the ** Division's artillery position burst into flames. More than a dozen artillery pieces were blown up, and the artillerymen also suffered casualties.

However, the good days of the Japanese self-propelled artillery were obviously over. After capturing the ballistic trajectory, they immediately attracted retaliatory bombardment from nearly a hundred artillery pieces. The raindrops of shells hit the Japanese self-propelled artillery emplacements head-on.

Disproportionate firepower density, the results can be imagined.

When the Japanese infantry from behind arrived, the vast battlefield was filled with tanks and armored vehicles emitting thick smoke. From time to time, there were explosive ammunition, which exploded into a fireball wrapped in thick smoke. The Xiaozhao tank regiment was

In this way, the entire army was wiped out, and no one escaped this fate.

Kazuo Xiaozhao can no longer display his ambitions and make achievements. In the command car, he has been burned into a ball of black coals. Only the dull command sword and the name engraved on the handle can identify his identity.

The Japanese infantrymen stared at all this with their mouths open and their tongues hanging out, feeling a strong chill in their hearts. The armored warriors of the Empire of Japan were all shattered in this way. Without the protection of the steel shell, wouldn't we end up in a worse place?

miserable?

The Japanese commander who was reinforcing Tianjin did not allow him to be frightened and ordered the troops to pass quickly. Tianjin was in a hurry. Takashima had sent telegrams for help several times. His fortifications were being fiercely besieged and were gradually being compressed. Without foreign aid, Tianjin

It will undoubtedly be lost.

The large group of Japanese troops, with chills in their hearts, walked tremblingly through the burning armored vehicles. They did not encounter the bullets and artillery fire of the Chinese troops, but the exploding Japanese tanks killed many soldiers. The Japanese commander felt this was unlucky.

Less than a kilometer past the anti-tank ditch, the pitch-black wilderness in front suddenly came to life, bursting out with sparks and light and heavy machine gun bullets, blowing like a storm from the plains and sweeping towards the dense Japanese formation.

Then, countless mortar shells and large-caliber artillery shells fell like a meteor shower into the marching columns of the Japanese army, exploding into a wall of fire and an insurmountable sea of ​​death in their direction.

The Japanese army retreated like a tide, leaving corpses everywhere. The Japanese reinforcements, the 8th Vanguard Division, suffered a heavy blow. The division's chief of staff was torn apart by artillery shells. The division commander was seriously injured, and the force was reduced by one-fifth.

First, the establishment was crippled.

The artillery units of the Japanese army hurriedly built positions and launched a fierce bombardment at the artillery positions of the ** Division. It was an artillery battle. The artillery shells from both sides trailed dark red tail flames and shuttled back and forth like meteors. The artillery of the ** Division showed off its might.

, literally knocked the Japanese artillery into silence.

At the end of the battle, when a Japanese artillery fire was fired, it would be attacked by more than five artillery pieces of the Japanese artillery division. The Japanese artillery commander almost vomited blood. In more than an hour, almost all the artillery groups under his command were destroyed.

Sexual blow.

There are only a few intact artillery pieces left. As far as he knows, the Chinese *** Troop does not have so many artillery pieces or so many artillery shells. However, the Chinese *** Troop's artillery shells do fall.

It hit my own head, and it was much more powerful than the imperial army's artillery shells. What the hell?
