"Nanyuan Airport was bombed? That sound just now must have been blown up at the oil depot, right? Terauchi Shouichi didn't feel sleepy, and paced back and forth in the command room irritably.

"The vanguard army is approaching Cangzhou City all the way, is this going to loot or occupy the city?" Terauchi Shouichi still had doubts in his heart, if the vanguard army was aimed directly at Beijing and Tianjin, would they be able to hold it? The North China Army did not have many troops, but the Kwantung Army could draw three divisions at any time. Tomorrow, the first support team of the Kwantung Army will depart.

As long as the 21st Division blocks for a day, the Kwantung Army will be able to rush to Beijing and Tianjin.

"If only the cavalry group were there!" Terauchi Shouichi sighed in his heart, after all, with the strength of the Kwantung Army, the relationship involved is very complicated, and the cavalry group has been placed under the jurisdiction of the North China Front a few months ago. It's just that the greedy said that he took a fancy to the Mongolian plateau, and with the arrival of the cold snap in Siberia, the first brigade of the cavalry group rushed to Suiyuan to assist the Mongolian army in opening up the territory. However, the 4th Brigade was closing in on the Central Plains with the 14th Division. Only one 72nd Cavalry Wing remained, but more was used as a communication link.

"Did the 21st Wing of the 83rd Division withdraw?" Shouichi Terauchi said with some hesitation in his heart. The 21st Division is a three-unit system for the special garrison, with only three combat wings and one search team. After the 82nd Wing went to support, it relied on the 82nd Wing in Beiping City plus a military police unit, which was still a little thin.

Cangzhou City is now also full of guns, and the devils who are not good at night fighting are dazed by the attack of the vanguard army. Although the vanguard army is also not skilled in night combat, they have done training for surnames. Coupled with the support of the people in Cangzhou City and the leadership of many Cangzhou soldiers, he is more familiar with the terrain than the devil. A brigade of devils there couldn't defend Cangzhou City at all, and the vanguard army broke directly into the city in places where many devils couldn't blockade it.

The two grizzly bears and wild bees on the armored train also set up their guns at this time, and directly blasted the broken city wall open, and the infantry who jumped from the train behind rushed up, along the gaps and intersections everywhere, and rushed behind the tanks in front of the breakthrough.

The devils in Cangzhou City are also stubbornly defending, expecting the devils of the 21st Division who have arrived in Qingxian County to rush over to support.

"Alright, order the guerrilla brigade that is blocking the attack to withdraw, and let the reinforcements of the Kou come over. A wing dares to come over? Sun Liren sneered.

In this case, if you can urgently put together a team, the devil's reaction will be considered fast. The mobilization of the army, which is not planned for several days, not people go up, materials and ammunition need to be considered as a whole.

However, with the help of the railway, the vanguard army rushed over more than 5,000 people overnight, and in addition to attacking Cangzhou, more than 2,000 people guarded around the railway station.

"Can you still fight?" Sun Liren saw Liu Fangwu, the company commander of the 4th Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, beside him, and asked.

"Fighting devils, you have a spirit head at any time!" Liu Fangwu smiled heartily. After Sun Liren came over, he also followed, and now he is the battalion commander.

"Tell Li Hong! Just outside the station, leave all the reinforcements behind. Sun Liren nodded slightly.

"Are these little reptiles trying to stop the train with their bullets?" Tanabe shouted from the cab of the armored car. While in Qingxian, they were sniped by a guerrilla brigade. The demolished railroad tracks took them most of the day's work, and by this time they had already heard that the vanguard of the vanguard army had forced under the city of Cangzhou. The situation is urgent, and it is necessary to rush to the rescue.

At this time, the vanguard army set up machine guns on the side of the road and fired in this direction. But these bullets hit the armor of the devil armored car in front of it, and they only splashed sparks and clanged.

"They don't know how powerful the ironclad is to make these bullets tickle the ironclad car. The firepower of the people of China is too weak! Tanabe Okuma laughed wildly, and said that he himself who had never been in contact with the vanguard army measured the strength of the vanguard army by the level of the central army. At that time, there were many people who had never seen a train, let alone an ironclad car. Tanabe Okuma has seen similar situations many times, the Chinese people attacked the armored vehicles with rifles and even broadswords and spears, but in the end they all fell under the machine gun bullets of the armored vehicles.

"Get off the train quickly and fix the rails!" The front was only demolished for more than ten meters, and it will be repaired soon.

"Fire! Let them taste the power of artillery fire. Tanabe Okuma smiled sinisterly.

"Boom Boom" didn't wait for the devil's ironclad car to fire, and more than a dozen tanks suddenly drove out in the night on both sides. The black hole of the T-34 tank flat-firing gun directly spewed orange-red flames, aimed at the armored vehicle in front and the personnel carrier behind.

The train twisted in the artillery fire, and the thin leather compartment could not block the attack of the high-explosive bombs, and it continued to explode, and the devil soldiers inside were constantly lifted out by the air waves. The ironclad train in front of it was the most attacked, and it was directly overturned to the ground. Then the troop transport train was like a burning dragon at this time, and the ghost soldiers who were screaming and rolling in flames kept jumping down from it.

The ghost soldier who jumped in a hurry was instantly knocked down by the machine gun. The burning train is undoubtedly a huge torch, and all the devils who come down are exposed. Behind the scenes, more than 100 machine guns were erected to harvest the lives of the devils who crawled out in time.

Tanabe Bear was lying on his stomach in the overturned ironclad car, trying to struggle out, but one of the twisted rods of the explosion jammed his waist, making him unable to move.

"This is probably the first train of ironclad cars to be knocked over by a tank!" He said sadly in his heart, "Can't the armored vehicle stop the attack of the combat vehicle? ”

He didn't know that the T-34 was far from being comparable to the devil's bean car, and the ironclad car was attacked by at least ten tank 76mm tank guns at the same time, how could it withstand it?

The boiler and the ammunition that were loaded with "boom" exploded continuously, and the fire that filled the carriage burned everything, and also burned away the last doubts of Tanabe Okumma.

"Instead of waiting until the explosives are planted to blow up the train, it is better to attack directly with tanks. This stuff is just convenient and effective! Li Hong whistled and laughed. His brigade has always had more machine guns, but at this time, it still felt a little worse than the tanks rushing to the front to bombard them in the rain of bullets.

"Missing some protection, missing some maneuvering!" He quickly judged the difference between traditional artillery fire and tanks.

"If the whole army is replaced with tanks, then it's worth it!"

"Tank combat is so effective, is it considered to expand the establishment? Hasn't even the Central Army already established the 200 Division, a mechanized division? Jiang Baili asked.

"It is being formed, and it is planned to form the 54th Army first." Meng Xiang said with a smile. With the increase in tanks and drivers, the conditions for the creation of mechanized divisions are basically ripe. Every operation requires the cooperation of tank regiments, and almost the army operations are already organized and tactics with tank armor as the core, and it is better to directly weave them into armored divisions.

The teaching brigade has been mechanized, experimenting and studying tactics for mechanized combat under different conditions.

"It's back, guys!" Zheng Boshou shouted loudly. The Nanyuan Airport below is already in flames. At the beginning, the parked planes were constantly bursting in the flames, preparing to leave early tomorrow morning, and the specially brought fuel and ammunition contributed to the explosion. The smoke from the rapidly rising hot air currents made the plane's flight a little unbalanced.

"This time, the results are good, and the little devil is definitely going to have a pain." Li Congpu raised his fist and smiled.

"Just those planes are enough to say that I have been distressed for a long time, their ability to recover is not so fast, and the sky in the SAR will be calm for at least a while." Jia Ren enumerated the kettle in his hand. It's a pity that there is no wine, only coffee.

This time the bombing effect was much better than they imagined, and not only nearly a hundred planes were destroyed by the explosion in the sea of fire, but also more than 50 pilots who spent the night at the airport were lost, which made the devil even more painful. Even after the fire is extinguished, the cleanup of the submunitions left over from the cluster bombs will be enough to give me a headache for a while.

This attack directly bankrupted the devil's plan to gain air superiority, and for some time afterward, the surrounding sky continued to be the territory of the vanguard planes to roam freely.

"Cangzhou City has been captured!" Rat Er handed over the latest battle report again, Meng Xiang rubbed his forehead, took it and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, order the 18th Division to rest on the spot. Tell the 59th Army that it's their turn to attack. Meng Xiang looked at the time of the communicator on his wrist, it was already 4:10 a.m. on October 1.

Five trains carrying soldiers from the 59th Army had already passed through the Texas station at this time, and at intervals along the long railway line, there were small groups of soldiers patrolling and guarding the railroad to maintain the safety of the railway. The 81st Division was not only responsible for clearing out the remnants of the enemy around Texas, but also protecting the smooth flow of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

The soldiers of the 18th Division were still clearing the remnants of the enemy in Cangzhou City, while Li Hong was organizing manpower to urgently repair the damaged railroad tracks.

"I only thought that planting explosives would damage the rails, but I didn't expect the fire to completely burn the rails!" Liu Fangwu muttered. Behind them, the armored train of the vanguard army was waiting to leave, and the wreckage of the devil's ironclad car and personnel carrier was overturned on the side of the road. This time, there was only a large group of people, not a wing as imagined at the beginning, and there were two trains one after the other. But the devils who got the news of the destruction of Cangzhou City have stopped supporting.

"If they don't come, we'll fight them!" Liu Fangwu looked up at the sky, which was already a little bright, and said proudly.
