Saburo Aoka soon received the news that Nanyuan Airport and the Air Force had been wiped out. He was so shocked that he was stunned on the spot.
"It's over, it's over. Without the air force and the chariot troops, who knows how long these two infantry divisions can last?”
The situation was really terrible!
They had already gathered most of the planes from the North China Front Army in Peiping, and even transferred some from the Kwantung Army to replenish them.
But now, it was all over!
In the North China Front, only Taiyuan and Tianjin had dozens of planes each, but what use did they have in the current situation?
It was tragic, too tragic!
Starting from Chahar, they had already lost close to 1500 planes, which was already a quarter of their total.
On the other hand, their opponents 'armies were getting stronger and stronger. They were even beginning to crush them and make them despair!
If their initial failure was due to their lack of familiarity with the enemy's situation and their arrogance, then now it could only be because they were too weak!
That's right, that was what Saburo Aoka thought!
Judging from these few defeats, their failure was almost entirely due to their outdated weapons and equipment. As a result, their combat strength was relatively weak.
The current situation between the two sides was just like last year when they first started the war. At that time, the enemy was weak and we were strong, but now, the enemy was strong and we were weak!
The tables had turned, but he did not expect the news to spread so quickly!
Just as his mind was wandering, Feng Jing had already surrounded Beiping City with two armored divisions.
Behind them, Long Zhenxiong had arrived with more than 30,000 infantrymen and an armored division.
After eliminating the enemy's air force, they had completely occupied the air around Beiping and even the air superiority in North China. The army's advance and logistics were unimpeded.
"Old Long, these devils have become cowards. We're going to have another street battle!”
"These Japanese are really cunning. We'll have to put in more effort this time!" Long Zhenxiong cursed.”
"Yeah!" Feng Jing said. This place is different from other places. This is where the capital of the past dynasties is located. It's not easy for our planes and cannons to be used here!”
At this point, he suddenly thought of a question and asked,"Old Long, have you asked the marshal? If we start a street fight in the city, what should we do if the Japanese are desperate?”
"Are you worried that they will use those buildings to threaten us?”
"Is it impossible?" Feng Jing asked.
Long Zhenxiong nodded and thought for a moment before saying,"There is such a possibility. Let's ask the marshal first!”
Not long after they reported it, Xia Zilong replied," Use what you need to use, don't have any scruples!
The two of them were finally relieved. It was easy to do things with an imperial edict!
On the morning of April 9th, after a night of rest, the general attack began!
The heavy artillery division that had just been added had the opportunity to unleash their full potential. They fired at the Japanese's fortifications outside the city and the city walls!
In fact, the Japanese's fortifications outside the window were not very useful because they had completely lost control of the air. There were also powerful tanks on the other side. How could these hastily built fortifications be able to stop them?
After seeing the Xia Army's fierce bombardment, Gangbuzhi Saburo decisively ordered the two infantry divisions to retreat to the city to defend.
The situation outside was simply too terrifying. The infantry regiment could not withstand the enemy's combined air and ground attacks at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The artillery bombarded the city intermittently for an entire day. The fortifications outside the city were basically destroyed, and a section of the city wall collapsed.
Considering that it was not advantageous for them to fight at night, Long Zhenxiong did not choose to attack at night. Instead, he chose to attack during the day the next day.
The Japanese were on tenterhooks for the entire night, but nothing happened. It was not until the next morning that the sound of gunfire finally rang out!
"Quick, quick, quick, the enemy is coming. Everyone must defend!”
"Ha Yi!"
On the inner street of Desheng Gate, a Japanese regiment had set up a dense number of temporary fortifications.
When the regiment commander Masao Terada saw the sound of cannons outside, he immediately called the Japanese to enter the battlefield to defend.
After a while, the cannons gradually stopped. The Sherman tanks took the lead and quickly rushed in through the collapsed city walls.
"F * ck, f * ck, this Japanese guy is a rat, right? Why are there so many fortifications here? Is there any point in drilling around?”
"It doesn't matter if he's interested or not. I only know that we'll be busy again!”
Street fighting was very cruel, and the Xia Army was glad that they were fighting to recover. If they were fighting against the outside world, they would be surrounded by enemies with every step they took.
This was because they might not only have to fight against the enemy's army, but there might even be civilians involved.
You didn't know when a gun would stick out from the back or the side. You wouldn't feel safe anywhere.
This would not have happened in his homeland. Even if there were traitors and puppet troops here, they would rarely use such stubbornness at this time.
"Boom, boom, boom…"
With Xia Zilong's command, they did not hesitate to use heavy weapons in the field. Wherever they needed to, they would not hesitate to use cannons and tanks to destroy.
If it still didn't work, they didn't mind calling the Air Force's dive bomber to help.
"Da da da…"
"Bang bang bang…"
The street battle had entered a white-hot stage from the beginning. Both the attacker and the defender had already begun to fight with their lives on the line.
"Bah, those damn Japanese. They're clearly here to invade us, but they're actually so crazy. This is really f * cking illogical!”
Zhang Yuan Ming hid behind a cover and kept complaining while quickly recovering his strength.
The Japanese were too crazy. In order to protect a small piece of territory, they did not hesitate to use suicidal methods. They wanted to use people to carry explosive bags to destroy the tank.
Although most of them were unsuccessful, they still destroyed a few of them. The other party's resistance was really too intense.
The battle had already been going on for two hours, but they were still being held up by the Japanese near Desheng Gate. Their progress was very slow.
After a short rest, he picked up his submachine gun and charged forward with his subordinates.
"Da da da…"
"Bang, bang, bang…"
The Xia Army didn't have many rifles, so they could only choose to equip them with more submachine guns and machine guns.
Now that they had tanks with them, they would use tank cannons to destroy the enemy's machine gun positions every time, so their firepower suppression was getting stronger and stronger.
"Guild Leader, why did you come to the front? Someone come quickly, send the group leader back!"
"Cut the crap. Do you want to command me?”
"No…"
At this moment, the " corpse " on the ground suddenly moved.
