"Hold Texas for a day, reinforcements will arrive today!" Shouichi Terauchi also ordered directly. A wing of the 21st Division could arrive this evening via the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

But by the time Shouichi Terauchi reached the ears of Ushijima Minoru Ushijima, the armored forces of the vanguard army had already advanced to the castle of Texas.

"Occupy the station!" Tiger Six made the forward commander this time. Only more than 80 vehicles crossed the river at the earliest, and there were three tank battalions in the rear.

But just more than 80 tanks in front of the breakthrough were already unstoppable, even if the devils were ready to defend against the attack characteristics of the vanguard army, but they were aimed at the BT-7, and most of the T-34s with thicker armor and more fierce firepower were encountered. As a result, the pillbox fortifications they built along the way were not very defensive against the T-34's 76mm tank guns.

Until the railway station in Texas, in order to defend against the possible attack of the vanguard army, two huge fortresses were built in front of the railway station in Texas, and this one was not something that a 76-mm gun could gnaw.

"As long as there is no heavy artillery, we can rest easy!" Suzuki Chizu looked into the sky, and the bombs dropped by those screaming dive bombardments were a threat to the fortress. However, as an important stronghold on the front line, Texas set up more than 50 anti-aircraft guns of various sizes, 15 of which were deployed near the station. But what Suzuki didn't know was that, apparently, these large and small anti-aircraft guns didn't work very well.

More than 20 large and small anti-aircraft guns were deployed at the Texas airfield, but they still could not stop the attack of the vanguard planes.

Almost when the vanguard army crossed the Yellow River, more than 60 vanguard army planes had already flown over the Texas airport, where there were only more than 50 devil's planes, but only 6 were alerted to take off, and all the others were destroyed in the airport.

But six faced more than sixty opponents who were eyeing each other, and without two going back and forth, they fell with black smoke in tow.

Not to mention the slow speed of those large and small anti-aircraft guns of the devils, the power does not have much effect on the thickly armored aircraft. The Vanguard lost only three aircraft and knocked out all these anti-aircraft guns.

"If those planes are coming, give them a taste of the color." At this time, Suzuki still had a lot of confidence in the anti-aircraft artillery produced in the empire, and the thick fortress walls around him gave him a sense of steadiness.

But an exclamation from his subordinates made him look over in exasperation, and the barrel of a black hole in the telescope was pointed here.

With a "boom", a ball of flame came out of the 150-mm muzzle of the Grizzly self-propelled assault howitzer, and Suzuki Chizu could not see anything in front of him. But almost at the same time, another fortress was pierced by the 150-mm guns of the Wild Bee self-propelled howitzers.

In this tank assault, considering the lack of heavy firepower, the main heavy fire attack could only rely on Stuka, which was slightly monotonous. But the speed of the assault of the tank, the average large-caliber artillery could not keep up. So when the armored troops were repairing and refueling at the supply point in the dense forest near the Maji River, a grizzly bear and a wild bee were driven out of a tank factory in the dense forest.

When self-propelled artillery flourished, it was in the middle and late stages of World War II, and the half-price discount was not as cost-effective as the production of KV-2 heavy tanks, but the weight of 52 tons of KV-2 tanks was too heavy, and some bridges could not be crossed at all, while the weight of the Grizzly self-propelled gun was only 28.2 tons, and the wild bee was only 24 tons.

Meng Xiang created these two self-propelled guns for comparative testing very early, and he still liked the names of the subsequent types of grizzly bears and wild bees, hoping to get a little hint of grizzly bears and rhinoceros tanks. But apparently, the two self-propelled guns were not prototype conditions for the Red Alert tank. Meng Xiang searched the menu and didn't have similar tips, but he learned that the surnames of these two self-propelled guns were good, so they made their actual combat appearance here today.

Dealing with such a fortress was a breeze for a 150-mm howitzer.

The T-34, BT-7 and T-40A tanks in the rear swarmed up and attacked the large and small fire points in the station. At this time, the train from Qihe had also rushed in with soldiers. A regiment of soldiers jumped out of the crowded train and set up machine guns to occupy various points.

There was a bombardment of T-34s and two self-propelled guns ahead, and the fighters of the vanguard army rushed towards the city step by step.

"All units hurry up and rest their ranks!" The rapid attack of the 41st Division made it impossible for the troops to follow, and the troops in front were already about to fight the city of Dezhou, and there were still those who had not crossed the Yellow River in the rear. The surprise attack of the armored forces not only caught the devils off guard, but also the operation of the vanguard army in all aspects was also inadequate.

"I still need to run in!" Meng Xiang was a little dissatisfied with this, there had been several assaults in front, and the cooperation was still good, but in the face of a Yellow River, the rhythm was suddenly disrupted, although the progress of the pontoon bridge was fast, but after all, in the face of tens of thousands of people and all kinds of equipment and materials, it was still far from enough. A bottleneck stuck the entire army's advance.

And at the beginning of the war, not all actions were planned as expected. Many recruits are doing well during training, but when it comes to actual action, they are much slower, which greatly reduces their progress.

"It's already very fast, it's a miracle to cross the Yellow River in one day, attack more than 200 miles, and storm the city of Texas. Many people can't even cross the Yellow River. Jiang Baili said with a smile next to him. The raid of the vanguard army had exceeded his expectations. The attack of the amphibious tanks was also unexpectedly smooth, and the tank assault that the vanguard army had long been known for was also particularly sharp.

The most important thing is that the whole sky is now the world of the vanguard army. The more than 20 planes that rushed from Beiping to support were beaten down by the interceptor planes of the vanguard army, and after seven of them were knocked down, they turned around and went back. The level of pilots in the Pioneer Army's daily flight training has improved rapidly, and the score of seven to one makes the devils see no hope of a breakthrough.

"I know! Go ahead and go ahead with the original plan! Meng Xiang nodded, in the original plan, these factors had been taken into account, and there was more time to spare money.

With the three trains of Texas Station joining the transportation, there are more and more vanguard soldiers outside Texas City, at this time Ushijima has often fallen into siege, a wing of people is too few, even light and heavy soldiers and engineers are also into the battle, but more people in Texas City fell to the side of the Vanguard Army.

The power of the subsistence allowance is in play again, and the poor people in Texas have no scruples about having no bodies, and they are desperate for their lives just to give their families and children and grandchildren a hopeful future. Under their guidance and leadership, the vanguard army's Suomi and machine guns appeared accurately beside the devil, and the pistol that would not be stupid to fight with the devil always shot through the devil's skull first.

The people are familiar with every inch of Texas City, so that the devil has nowhere to hide. Except for a few Han annihilations who committed serious crimes and knew that they could not be spared, all kinds of things that happened in the SAR caused a large number of puppet troops who were relieved to turn against the water, and began to block the devils in order to strive for meritorious service. After the puppet army with meritorious service joins the vanguard army, the credit will continue to be valid, and the new soldiers can be separated from the new soldiers at once, and they will have a higher salary.

"Put special bombs!" Surrounded by Ushijima, he ordered. A batch of special ammunition has been stockpiled in Texas City for a long time, and it has not been used. This time, seeing that Texas can no longer be saved, there is no need to keep it.

"The vanguard army has gas masks, I'm afraid it won't be very effective!" Chief of Staff Kimura Kuzo Daisa hesitated.

The devils no longer use gas bombs against the vanguard, one is ineffective. The anti-poison equipment of the vanguard army is more advanced than that of the devils; And as soon as the gas bombs began to be fired, the artillery fire of the vanguard army would immediately come and explode on their own positions.

The second is that such a move will be immediately met with frenzied retaliation from the vanguard. The vanguard army has long said that if the devil uses weapons such as special ammunition, it will retaliate tenfold. If the vanguard said this before, the devil would be regarded as a joke at most, but at this time, it seems that the vanguard may have the strength to make the devil jealous.

"Those people don't, and when they are in chaos, we retreat!" Ushijima often gritted his teeth and said that the loss of Dezhou City was a foregone conclusion, a wing could not hold Dezhou City, and the reinforcements promised by Terauchi Shouichi could not see a shadow, even if a wing of reinforcements came, it was useless, and the Dezhou Railway Station had fallen into the hands of the vanguard army. Will the rescue train still come?

"Let's withdraw to Leling for the time being!" Ushijima waved his hand. According to the latest information, the 80th Wing was attacked by the 50th Division of the Vanguard Army that crossed the river from Lijin, and after being annihilated for the most part, it quickly retreated in defeat and retreated to Leling. The 77th Wing, fearing the enemy behind it, withdrew to Linqing County under the leadership of the commander of the 39th Brigade, Guan Yuanliu, after the vanguard army broke through to Dezhou.

Kimura Hisazo didn't say anything anymore, the strength of the vanguard army and the situation in Texas at this time were already obvious. Just follow the order, the boss has to blame, and naturally Ushijima always stands up. He has a good wife, his second uncle is Shunroku Hatata, and the eldest brother was also the commander of the Kwantung Army, although he died before 918, but as an army general, the relationship network is complicated, and the general sin is still not a big deal.

"Gas bombs! It's a gas bomb! Put on your gas mask! Zhao Tiedan was personally leading people forward, and suddenly saw a burst of yellow-green smoke floating from the street in front of him. He immediately shouted loudly and transmitted it to the top through the intercom.

"Evacuate the people downwind!" Zhao Tiedan didn't care about attacking the devil anymore, and began to organize people to evacuate the surrounding people. At this time, it is already autumn, and the autumn breeze is blowing, as long as the limelight is avoided, the loss is not very large. But the people who don't know how powerful they are easy to be innocent and need people to guide them.

"These damn little devils!" Meng Xiang said angrily, the poison gas bombs in the city are different from the poison gas positions outside the city, even if they are bombed at this time, the poison gas will spread in the city. The best way to do this is to evacuate the people temporarily.

"They're out of the city!" The troops of the vanguard army were busy evacuating the people, and Ushijima's usual plan was successful, breaking through the weak area of fire and fleeing to the east of the city.

"Get them out of town!" Meng Xiang ordered, "Order Sun Liren, intercept them all for me halfway, and not let them run away!" ”

"We have said before, we will retaliate a hundredfold." Meng Xiang took a deep breath and said coldly.

Ushijima escaped Texas without incident, but for the most part, the tank's tracks were much faster than their legs, and the BT-7 outperformed Ushijima's horses. More than 30 miles outside the city of Texas, they were again surrounded by troops chasing by the vanguard army.

On the plains, it was a misfortune for both infantry and cavalry to encounter tanks.

"Kill them all!" Sun Liren, who caught up in person, waved his hand with a cold face. The success of the attack on Texas was somewhat pale in front of the corpses of more than 80 civilians who died of poison gas. Some of them are unavoidable, but they are never relievable.

"It's too cheap to kill them with one shot!" Wu Sanshan, who changed to a T-34 tank, crushed the head of a devil and said hatefully. The news of the devil setting off poison gas bombs had already spread throughout the vanguard army, and when Wu Sanshan saw the young child lying on his mother with blisters all over his body and crying beside his mother who had fallen to the ground, his anger suddenly exploded in silence.

Every devil who fell to the ground would be crushed several times until the shape of a person could not be seen. The tracks of many tanks were stuffed with meat mud, and the original color was no longer visible under the blood-red color.

"Eleven devils have been captured!" The battle ended quickly, and there was too much difference in strength. The devils who were swept down by the machine gun were seriously injured and did not die, so they became prisoners.

"Caught the unconscious Ushijima Shitsune." Sun Liren was a little surprised, and he also caught a devil lieutenant general?

"I said kill them all!" Sun Liren said coldly.

"Division commander, this is a lieutenant general!" Someone next to him persuaded that the credit for capturing the lieutenant general alive was a great achievement.

"Just take his head and pay tribute to the dead Texan people!" Sun Liren raised his head and said. A lieutenant general is just the beginning, and in the future, there will be devil generals and even marshals who will achieve his military exploits.

"What a pity!" After hearing about Sun Liren's treatment, Meng Xiang shook his head and said.

Fan Chong glanced at him, he knew that Meng Xiang's words must have something to say.

Sure enough, Meng Xiang said indignantly: "At least we have to press to Texas and cut off their heads in front of many people." Or put them in the gas chambers and let them taste it for themselves! ”
