Age of Rebirth

Chapter [-] General Attack

Preparations for the Battle of Tianjin are being prepared in an orderly manner. At 38:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, Feng Jiwu sent a telegram stating that all the troops have arrived at the designated positions. Ready for battle.

Tang Qiuli put his heart in his stomach. As long as Feng Jiwu's troops are in place, the Tianjin campaign can proceed according to the original plan. To his surprise, an hour ago, the artillery units of the three brigades commanded by Li Honggang, has reached the designated position.

He really wanted to send a telegram to ask, how can the cannon wheels outrun the soles of people's feet when walking on mountain roads?What's the secret?

At [-]:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, Tianjin police chief Liu Feng was studying a map of Tianjin city in his office, making careful preparations for the night's operation. [

The adjutant brought in two people. Liu Feng was overjoyed. One of them, he was very familiar with, was a member of the Tianjin Joint Operations Command, Wang Zhanqun, the head of the Tianjin Urban Combat Team. The communication had been cut off by the Japanese army a long time ago, and Liu Feng was also very anxious. He couldn't get in touch with other members of the headquarters. Why couldn't they have horizontal communication with the radio station of the police station.

After introduction, the other one was Li Shan, the captain of the third unit of the Special Warfare Detachment of the Independent Division. The current situation of the Tianjin police combat unit should be very dangerous.

After the general attack on Tianjin began, the eight detachments of the Tianjin Urban Combat Team cooperated with the police force on the periphery to hold the Japanese army firmly. Remember, holding the Japanese army is victory, and flexible tactics should be adopted so as not to cause heavy casualties to the troops.

Liu Feng had a sob in his throat. Even though he didn't report the situation of the troops, the division commander also anticipated it and deployed corresponding measures. Originally, he was determined to die, and the eight city combat detachments had a strength of nearly 9000. It is very possible for our own troops to cooperate internally and externally, not to mention holding back the more than 8000 Japanese troops who surrounded us, even destroying them all.

Afterwards, the three re-studied the combat plan. The police force used various terrains to hold on to the spot. When the battle with the Japanese army was the most intense, five urban combat teams suddenly joined the attack on the Japanese army. Three urban combat detachments were responsible for occupying the port. , Liu Feng also issued new combat orders to the troops everywhere.

In addition, from the eight urban combat teams, some members who are familiar with the terrain in various places in Tianjin were selected to form a guide team with the third special warfare unit, responsible for guiding the attacking troops, rushing into the urban area quickly, and instructing the artillery targets, focusing on the artillery positions of the Japanese army , barracks and defensive positions.

At 1000:[-] p.m. on July [-]th, Liu Tiehan's attacking corps outside Tianjin had all entered the attacking positions, artillery positions, and more than [-] artillery pieces. In the southwest direction of Tianjin, along Hangou, Shuangkou, Li Qizhuang, Guan The shop was spread out in a row, the muzzles were heavily arrayed, and the long barrels pointed directly at the Japanese positions outside Tianjin.

The Artillery Command and Staff Officer added the coordinates of the latest Japanese targets sent from Tianjin to the tense coordinate map, and adjusted the shooting elements. The Communication Staff Officer was nervously debugging the call frequency, creating a tense atmosphere.

Careful soldiers discovered that on the night of the July [-]th Incident, twelve [-]-caliber cannons captured by the Japanese Ono Regiment Heavy Artillery Brigade by the Yongding River where the "Lugouqiao Iron and Steel Company" fought bloody battles also appeared in the artillery positions In fact, these dozen or so big guys are obviously much thicker than other cannons. The barrels of the cannons can be inserted into the heads of children, and the soldiers stick out their tongues when they see it.

Compared with the busyness of the artillery unit, the attacking Liu Tiehan corps was on the starting position, but it was quiet and tense. The soldiers were all nervously clenched their guns, their bodies tensed up, waiting for the order to attack at any time.

It's no wonder that the soldiers were nervous. It was the first time that this veteran unit of the Northeast Army had confronted the Japanese army face-to-face. What battle?

Tens of 10 horses were chased and beaten by more than 2 little devils, and they ran into the customs. It has been six years, and the time has come to express their anger.

Tang Qiuli's order to Liu Tiehan's troops was to take Tianjin within ten hours, that is to say, the Battle of Tianjin must end before [-] o'clock in the morning on July [-], and he was full of confidence in this.

The hat on the head of the Northeast Army has been worn for six full years, and these men in the Northeast cannot hold their heads up. He also hopes that Brother Han Qing's old army can fight a turnaround. There must be something wrong with the tone in his heart. The so-called "sad soldiers must win", this is why Tang Qiuli used Liu Tiehan's troops to attack Tianjin.

At [-]:[-] p.m. on July [-]th, the last ray of the setting sun in the sky faded away, and the earth darkened. The huge shadow of Nuluerhu Mountain engulfed the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan. , brings the salty smell of the sea, and the night falls on the land of East Jidong, Shanhaiguan at the junction of East Jidong and Northeast China, where the Shanhaiguan garrison of the Security Corps of the East Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government is stationed.

In this kind of weather, no one wants to stay outside, the whistling sea breeze is pouring into the stomach, the captain of the Shanhaiguan garrison Zhang Lixiang, nicknamed Captain Dog Meat, is in the room at this time, surrounded by several captains under his command. With a pot of delicious dog meat casserole with boiling broth, I am drinking vigorously.

Captain Dog Meat is quite satisfied with his current position. Since three or four years, when the Independent Division troops swept across the area like locusts, there has never been a battle. The imperial army of the Japanese Kwantung Army, backed by hundreds of thousands of imperial troops from Pingjin, Shanhaiguan is a place of double insurance.

It was also thanks to my brilliant brains that I dedicated my girl to His Excellency, the captain, to get this good job. The businessman in the past, who didn't take care of himself, ate dog meat and drank soju every day, had money in his pocket, and had money in his pot. Meat, hey, this little day is so damn nourishing, even a god would not change it.

There was movement outside the door, not like the sound of the sea breeze blowing on the house. Zhang Gourou said nonchalantly to the captains who wanted to check, "Look at you guys, the little movement makes your farts go cold. The guy in it is a fire stick?" [

"It must be the blind boy who smelled the smell of dog meat and got greedy. He hid outside the door and smelled it. Find out who it is. First, hit him with fifty army sticks and cure his gluttony. Come and drink , how about two punches?"

The door was wide open, a strong sea breeze poured in, the fire under the casserole shook a few times, and almost went out, Captain Zhang Gourou was furious, and opened his mouth to curse: "You fucking blind, didn't you see I'm busy?" Cursing, and reaching for a gun.

Immediately, he froze, a group of soldiers broke in from outside, the thing in his hand was shining coldly, he was not an amateur, he knew it all at once, all of them were loaded and could shoot at any time.

Looking at a few of his subordinates, they all stood there like clay sculptures and wood carvings. Captain Zhang Gourou, who was pointed at his head with a gun, secretly glanced at the badges of these soldiers. My god, it's the North China Independent Division's gang, and my predecessor's predecessor just threw his life into their hands.

People from the Independent Division, people from the Independent Division, why are they targeting Shanhaiguan again?Captain Dog Meat, who was escorted outside, looked at his more than 500 subordinates, all of whom were squatting against the wall.

On the main road leading to the outside of the pass, countless troops and artillery vehicles poured out of Shanhaiguan Pass like a tide, and ran towards the land of Kanto. Captain Dog Meat rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot. I have never seen such a scene in eight lifetimes. Before losing consciousness, he still had a question, is the independent division going to fight the Kwantung Army?

The Solitary Fourth Brigade and one regiment won Shanhaiguan without firing a single shot. The entire process took less than 10 minutes, and there were more than 500 garrison teams, and none of them were trapped under the covers. It is funny to say that such an important At the pass, they didn't even release a sentry post, and they all hid under the covers and slept soundly.

Immediately, the troops moved to Yong'an Fort outside the pass and the front line to build a position to guard against the Japanese army going south from Jinzhou. Everything was ready.

No one thought that the battle to attack Tianjin would first start from Shanhaiguan, which is far away from Tianjin. It can be seen that the blocking troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan are important to the Tianjin campaign.

At [-]:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, the urban area of ​​Tianjin was already brightly lit. The night life of dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and merchants had just begun, and there were gradually more and more guests in various happy places.

Except for a few searchlights in the Japanese camps outside Tianjin, which emitted pale beams of light in the night, they scanned the surroundings aimlessly. Proof that there is still a herd of animals panting.

Three red signals rose slowly in the night sky, drew a beautiful curve, and then fell slowly. Immediately, the ground trembled violently like a crack, and in the dark night, several fireballs suddenly flashed , dragging a dark red tail flame, howled across the sky, and landed on the opposite Japanese position.

The positions of the Japanese army were immediately covered by artillery fire. Barbed wire and deer firewood flew into the air. The bunkers were overturned and the trenches were flattened. The position is like a furnace of boiling molten iron.

Inside the trenches, the soldiers of the attacking troops stared wide-eyed. These soldiers of the old Northeast Army had never seen such a scene of more than 1000 artillery bombardments. The old guns, if we had so many big guns and more than 2 little devils at the time of September [-]th, it would not be enough to fit between the teeth!

The bombardment went on for a full hour. The Japanese army position opposite, the five-kilometer-deep front, the terrain had been completely modified by the artillery fire. The soldiers of the attacking troops suddenly became anxious. With so many artillery pieces, how many little devils can still breathe son?Don't we get nothing by then?

While pondering there, three signals, one red, two green, rose into the night sky again, and the commander's order came from the ear, and all attacked.

Ninety thousand soldiers poured into the urban area of ​​Tianjin like a tide, stepping on the soft and somewhat warm Japanese positions that had been bombarded.
