Devil's Army

The Japanese army had only a dozen fighters and bombers left, deployed at Tianjin Airport and Beijing Airport respectively. However, they did not dare to go to Tianjin Port to fight against the fighter formations of the devil's army, as that would be tantamount to suicide.

But their air force could not do nothing, so Commander Okamura Yasuji ordered them to bomb the Jidong Independent Brigade positions outside Tianjin in retaliation for the demonic forces' bombing of Tianjin Port.

Captain Feng soon received a report from the Yidong Independent Brigade that they were attacked by the Japanese Air Force.

He did not call back the air force that had attacked Tianjin Port to provide reinforcements, but instead sent two fighter squadrons from Tangxia Village Airport to provide reinforcements.

When the Tangxiacun Air Force arrived over the Jidong Independent Brigade's position, the Japanese planes had already fled.

Therefore, the Tangxiacun Air Force also turned to Tianjin Port and participated in the air raid on Japanese cargo ships.

Two aerial bombs dropped by the First Army Air Force successively hit a Japanese cargo ship carrying ammunition anchored in the port, causing a violent chain reaction explosion.

The two cargo ships were like two huge fireworks, scattering sympathetic ammunition in all directions.

After more than an hour of air raid, the First Army Air Force destroyed four Japanese cargo ships transporting ammunition and supplies and the anti-aircraft artillery unit of Tianjin Port at the cost of 6 fighter planes shot down and 11 fighter planes damaged.

The strategic materials on four Japanese cargo ships were destroyed by the Devil Force Air Force, which was a big blow to Okamura Yasuji.

Fortunately, he always paid attention to preparing for a rainy day, and had been preparing supplies before his air force suffered serious damage.

Now, the strategic materials stored in Peking and Tianjin should not be a problem for fighting the devil troops for a month, but it is hard to say whether it will take longer than that.

In retaliation for Commander Okamura Yasuji's air raid on the positions of the Jidong Independent Brigade, the Xiaoguanzhuang Air Force and the Tangxiacun Air Force launched fierce bombing and strafing on the Japanese fortifications on the walls of Tianjin and Beijing when they returned.

The bombing was so intense that the Japanese troops in Tianjin and Peking thought the demonic forces were about to attack the city and rushed to reinforce them. However, after the First Army's air force returned, everything returned to normal.

Okamura Neiji was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

On the third day after the air raid on the Japanese cargo ships in Tianjin Port, the Second Air Force Squadron of the First Army came out in full force and launched the battle to recapture Beijing and Tianjin.

Before the smoke from the air force bombing had cleared, the First Army's Jidong Independent Brigade launched a fierce attack on Beijing's Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen from the northeast.

Part of the Second Brigade launched a fierce attack on the West Gate and East Gate of Peking from the northwest.

Gray Wolf looked at the Japanese positions marked on the map and tapped the words "Yongding River Bridge" with his fingertips.

"First, cut off their supply lines, then we can tackle the tough problems!"

So, five "Kuaishou" tanks of the Second Brigade braved the morning mist as they rolled over the ridges of the fields. As their tracks crushed the barbed wire laid by the Japanese, their commander, Zhao Weiguo, leaned out of the turret, waving his binoculars and shouting, "Follow me closely! Charge across the bridge!"

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, 2nd Brigade followed the tanks across the bridge.

Japanese grenade launcher shells exploded next to the tank, splattering mud all over the turret.

Machine gunner Xiao Li's arm was scratched by shrapnel, but he held the machine gun tightly and fired wildly at the Japanese firepower point on the other side of the bridge.

At this time, infantry company commander Gao Fuquan led his soldiers to approach the Japanese position along the tanks.

Squad leader Wang Erzhu, holding a bag of explosives, took advantage of the gap between the tank gun suppressing the Japanese machine gun and rolled to the foot of the bunker. The moment he pulled the fuse, he shouted to his comrades:

"I'm going to tear down this blockhouse for the folks!"
