Age of Rebirth

Chapter 660: Tianjin Succeeded

***Tianjin Garrison Commander Ono Ichiro felt that the troops defending Tianjin were insufficient. The eastern part of Tianjin was attacked by independent divisions from three directions. For the ** team, the situation in the direction of Ninghe is relatively good. The defenders and the Chinese *** team fought to a draw, successfully curbing the Chinese army's offensive, and the battle line stabilized in the Renfengzhuang area south of Ninghe.

The direction of Bamian City and Beitang was in jeopardy. The [-] troops reinforced respectively could not stop the Chinese squadron from advancing, and they were forced to retreat steadily. The squadron is not allowed to go any further. He also knows that for the troops in these two directions, it is difficult to execute such an order. Adjust deployment to gain time.

All Japanese and puppet agencies in Tianjin who had received the order were mobilized, and those who had anything to do with the Communists were mobilized. Several large arsenals were opened, and there was a long stream of people queuing up to receive guns and ammunition. There was a chaotic tension. Atmosphere, at this time, those who can take the initiative to go to the front line, except for the Japanese, are all the hard-core traitors of the Japanese. Tens of thousands of people gathered in several places, and the momentum was quite large. Every 500 people received their guns Medicine, a gendarme immediately rushed to the defense line in northwest Tianjin.

Here, there are soldiers from the Special Operations Unit of the Independent Division and the Rapid Response Brigade. The soldiers of the Special Operations Unit can speak fluent Japanese, and it is easy to get in. The soldiers of the Rapid Response Brigade are all locals, pretending to be traitors or Puppet staff is not a problem, Ono only thinks about mobilization, how could he know that it gave the troops lurking in an opportunity. [

The battle broke out in eastern Tianjin, and the lurking troops were gearing up and waiting for the signal to start the general offensive. The guns rang for a long time, but the division commander refused to give orders. He watched the rioters and traitors scurrying around in the streets, and gathered in a few A large arsenal, a gun was taken away, and the five special operations team leaders and two regiment leaders led the team, with anxious eyes burning.

Send a few clever soldiers to inquire about the situation. When the soldiers came back and said, several people brainstormed, got together to discuss, and decided to send two special warfare units, two battalions of the Quick Response Brigade, pretending to be Chinese nationals or fake Staff, just mix in. When the time comes, they will turn on the front line, and the effect will be much better than in the urban area. The rest of the troops will continue to carry out the sabotage plan in the city.

In other words, the organizational efficiency of the Communists is quite high. Three hours later, a temporary combat team of nearly [-] people all arrived in the defense area in the northwest of Tianjin. * People, there are soldiers of the pseudo-North China Jing'an Army who roll their eyes around, and there are pseudo-officials who deliberately fall behind.

The Communists at the front looked impassioned. Some of them were in their fifties, and they jumped and jumped more happily than anyone else, with a silk belt on their foreheads. What "must win" I wrote a bunch of messy things like that, with an old samurai sword with a scabbard on my back, and shouted slogans to kill all Chinese pigs, as if I had regained the feeling of the Russo-Japanese War or the Sino-Japanese War in the Sino-Japanese War. The soldiers who entered the pile of dead and alive laughed secretly, walked a few steps, and caught up with these old bastards, and when the fight starts later, I will let you eat a grain first.

***** For pride, under the leadership of the Yamato national warriors, the cowardly Chinese people also became brave. They patted the warriors on the shoulders, stretched out their thumbs, and repeatedly said "West! West!" Ichiro Ono learned that The temporary formation of the civilian army arrived at the position so quickly, and their eyes were shining with excitement. This is the spirit of the Yamato nation. In addition to pride and pride, there is also great relief in my heart.

It is time to organize a counterattack. The troops in Xianxian County and Suning can't be counted on. Where the Chinese army is fighting hard, the Kwantung Army can't be completely relied on. It doesn't have four or five days, and it won't be able to enter the customs. The only thing you can count on is your own troops. If the squadron that broke into the eastern suburbs of Tianjin is not counterattacked, the threat to Tianjin's defense line is too great.

Ichiro Ono issued an order to mobilize 3000 troops from the defensive positions in the northwest of Tianjin, and counterattack the Chinese army from the three directions of Bamian City, Ninghe, and Beitang at the same time. The soldiers repelled to the east of the Ning River and restored the original defensive positions in the east of Tianjin.

The ferocious attack of Yu Guanghan's troops forced Ono Ichiro to increase his troops to the east of Tianjin again and again. The defense line in the northwest of Tianjin had only more than 1 regular Japanese troops, plus less than 6 civilian troops, of which there were 2000 Soldiers from independent divisions mixed in. This kind of defense line seems to have a lot of soldiers, a group of mobs, who can pull the bolts of the guns is a good player, but in fact they are self-organized, and the embankment of sand piles reduces the combat effectiveness of the regular troops.

The frequent mobilization of the Japanese army and the disorderly entry of the militiamen into the positions all fell into Tang Qiuli's eyes. Yu Guanghan did a great job, and finally let the Japanese army's defensive force drop to the lowest point, and the troops' campaign plan was unprecedentedly concealed Success, the Japanese commander would never have imagined that not far from them, six field infantry brigades and three artillery brigades were ready to attack. Looking at the time, Tang Qiuli smiled slightly. Unexpectedly, Tianjin will fall into his hands at dawn tomorrow, a full 48 hours earlier than the original plan.

In the precious two days, many battles can be deployed calmly. The director of communications, Chen Feng, sent a telegram. Tang Qiuli laughed out loud. It’s so interesting. There are more than 2000 soldiers of his own on the opposite position. Okay, let’s go on! , each unit pays attention to the identification marks, and cannot accidentally injure its own people. After 10 minutes, a general attack will be launched across the board.

No matter how tight the fighting in the east was, he was not in a hurry to attack. No matter how far the Japanese army went, it was too late to turn around. But at this time, Ono Ichiro was in a completely different mood. The arrival of the second batch of reinforcements allowed the Japanese army to gradually gain the battlefield Yu Guanghan's troops, according to the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, took the initiative to retreat more than ten kilometers, retreated to the position where the attack started, and gave the Japanese some sweetness. Ono believed that he had reversed the situation on the battlefield and achieved Fortunately, Tianjin has finally passed the initial crisis and is safe and sound.

Before Xiao Ye had time to laugh out loud, there was an earth-shattering sound of gunfire, which made the glass of the door rattle and rattled, and he jumped up from his chair in shock. What happened?A staff officer ran in with a panicked face, "Report to Your Excellency, the Chinese army launched a sudden attack in the northwest of Tianjin. According to preliminary estimates, there are more than [-] troops. The artillery firepower is the size of three brigades. The forward positions were violently attacked." Shelling!"

Ono rushed over nervously, grabbed the staff officer by the collar, and shouted fiercely: "Baga, nonsense, did the Chinese army fall from the sky?" The staff officer was frightened by the commander's fierce appearance There was a short circuit in his head, he forgot that he still had a telegram in his hand, and stared with frightened eyes, not knowing how to answer.

Ono snatched the telegram away, glanced at it hastily, and his first reaction was that he was fooled!The scheming and deep-minded Commander of China, in fact, the Sulu Mobile Corps is attacking the outskirts of northwest Tianjin and there are still positions. With Ono's 5 troops, it won't last long. Tang Qiuli doesn't want to waste too much Time, to minimize casualties, before adopting the tactics of attacking east and west.

"Quick! Quick! Immediately order the troops to reinforce Jindong, return to the urban area of ​​Tianjin at full speed, and establish street fighting positions along the line!" Ono ordered hoarsely, and the staff officer ran out like a head, and Ono sat slumped on a chair. After all, he didn't lose his position completely, and he knew how to carry out street fighting in the urban area, but he knew that it was too late. Since the Chinese commander used the strategy of attacking the west, he would not let the troops in the east of Tianjin return to the urban area. Lieutenant General Kami Ono Ichiro's heart.

The overwhelming cannonballs fell on the Japanese army's positions. Those yawning puppet North China Jing'an Army, puppet staff, traitors, big and small, immediately revealed their true colors, with pale faces and trembling calves. Make a good impression in front of the Communists, and then go to the outskirts of Tianjin, where there are no Zi Hengfei. What big cloves of garlic!

Watching the cannons fall, the Japanese who were screaming just now turned into a pile of minced meat in the blink of an eye. My god, nothing is worth as much as a head. The soldiers mixed in the crowd took the opportunity to shout: "It's terrible, the Central Army's planes and artillery are coming, you want to run for your life!" This shout added to the terrifying atmosphere, and with a whimper, the 4-strong civilian army ran away [-] in one fell swoop. Many people, even many *** people also ran down.

The so-called "defeat like a mountain" has just started the battle, and the artillery salvo of the Independent Division has not yet ended, and the Japanese defensive positions are in chaos. Opportunity, close-range shooting, or simply talking with bayonets, calling out those Japanese who have long been disliked, one by one, and the chaos, no one noticed these, each soldier, at least killed three or four, before they were killed. Follow the flow of people to run to the city, if you don't run, the guns of your own people will fall on the top of your head.

In the defense line in the northwest of Tianjin, there are only more than 3 regular Japanese troops left, plus the hard-charging Japanese military police and overseas Chinese, there are only more than [-] people, how can they withstand the full coverage of the thousands of cannons of the three artillery brigades? , On the Japanese army's position, soil was flying up, gunpowder smoke was billowing, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere. The defense line of nearly [-] kilometers had no troops. There was no way to build a deep defense. [

An hour after the bombardment, on the front of the attack, a series of red signals rose into the sky. More than 8 soldiers from six infantry brigades jumped up and swept across like a raging wave. Stepping on the still warm soil, a wave swept over , the weak resistance of the remaining Japanese army was immediately submerged in the torrent.

The last twilight of the sunset faded away, and the troops passed through the outskirts of Tianjin and poured into the urban area. Tang Qiuli walked out of the hiding place, took a breath of air containing gunpowder smoke comfortably, and said to the mountain tiger beside him: "Tiger, enter the city!" !” A posture eager to try.
