Chapter 180: The Great Victory of Tianjin (under counterattack)

Tianjin, Japanese Army Command
In September in China, autumn is fully visible.
The commander of the Tianjin Dispatching Army, Bai Chuanyi, dressed in a traditional kimono, was sitting on a tatami in a critical position, with two things on the small table in front of him.
A white document with the words Top Secret on it was a secret message from the military ministry he had just received from China.
A flat saber, a great general knife given by His Majesty Emperor Showa Emperor Hirohito, symbolizes the imperial power of the empire and places great hope on the emperor.
Looking at these two things, Shirakawa's thoughts flew farther and farther, as if passing through time and space, going up against time, coming to a long time ago.
"... you are a coward, you filthy asshole."
"Stay away from us, you coward."
"you are an idiot……"
The memory of childhood, the time of the weak is reappeared in his eyes, as the third son of Keiyo Shirakawa, a prince of Matsuyama, was looked down on for various reasons. The miserable childhood and being cast aside by classmates are only trivial matters.
Later, he seemed to see himself desperately studying again, and eventually entered the Imperial Army Teaching Regiment, becoming a team affiliate. He clearly remembered that it was a sign of his career taking off, and was attached to the 2nd Infantry. He graduated from the 1st Infantry Division, and he was called "Lu Shi Phase 1 Three Masters" with the newcomer Ugaki Ichigaki and Suzuki Zou Liu.
After that, he seemed to be back in the Sino-Japanese War and participated in the war against Zhina. The Zhina with long braids was vulnerable. After the victory, he was sent to the Army University to study because of his outstanding performance, and then returned to the empire. The Army was then ordered to be promoted to Major General ...
The scenes of the past are emerging in the heart of Shirakawa Yoshizawa. These sixty years of life have been so wonderful and so impressive. From an ordinary imperial citizen, step by step to the position of imperial army general, his life, he thought he was perfect.
However, this war with the Chinese is destined to put an imperfect ending to this perfection.
"The sky in Chiina is getting colder ..."
Shirakawa tightened his kimono tightly and reached out to pick up the military secret message that he had seen many times. The contents inside him were almost memorable, but he still looked at the details.
"Every time I touch you, it's like hearing the monarch's generation in the palace, old friend, what should I do ..."
I slowly closed the secret message and picked up the phone. Shirakawa called Ishihara Waner, the staff officer of the Tianjin Dispatching Command. This soldier who has been promoted to the rank of the Imperial Army can always give himself something different. help.
Many times, Shirakawa Yoshi has an illusion. Perhaps this person named Ishihara Waner will really be the first militarist of the Empire in the mouth of old friends.
"His Commander"
Ishihara smiled and bowed to salute, immediately at the seat of Yoshiharu Shirakawa.
"I'm old, I can't stand the fall of Chinna. Come and drink a bar." Shirakawa said something and poured a glass of wine for Ishihara.
"Thank you, Commander." Ishihara Waner bowed his head, took over the wine, and had a drink with Shirakawa. Regarding the thoughts of His Excellency the Commander, he thought he saw clearly.
The battle in Chinna has already reached this stage, and he has changed to be the commander of the sending army. Maybe the only result is to break the emperor's jade. Fortunately, he did not hold any actual post. As a second staff officer, not only will he not be affected by the war that is about to fail, but he will have a bright future.
The idea deep in his heart, Ishihara smiles this way. Perhaps the empire is defeated this time, and the military chiefs are more able to listen to the advice of an outstanding military talent who has an infinite loyalty to the emperor. '.
"The old man is getting old and confused. Tell me about your views on this war in Chin. Many old friends boast that you are the first military empire in the empire, and the old man also wants to see. If you have something to say, it does n’t matter, you too Guan Dongjun came out, it was my old comrades. "Shirakawa smiled heartily, as if his mood had returned to normal, and he was no longer covered by the haze of failure.
"Hayi" Ishihara nodded his greetings and sat down in a desperate situation, and briefly stated his views. "At present, the situation on the battlefield in Tianjin and Beijing is very unoptimistic. The man was encouraged by the victory of the Baoding campaign, and his determination to fight was more firm.
Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing once again organized five divisions to go north, while Zhang Shusheng in the southwest completed logistical deployment.
According to our information, the Chinna ’s Southwest Army has a total of about 5,000 artillery pieces of 75 and above. One of the most worrying is the 05 field guns, which occupy more than half of the number. Commander, the power of this 05 field gun is extraordinary. According to the analysis of the early combat situation, its power is comparable to the 22 heavy guns equipped by the empire.
In addition to a large number of superior artillery will form artillery clusters to form a deadly threat to our empire army, there is enough information to show that in the last two months, the Southwest Army had at least one or two chariot regiments heading north. They are equipped with a kind of tank that we are very unfamiliar with. Although the combat performance is not very clear, according to intelligence, it seems to be related to the German tanks and the combat performance is very strong.
Except for the superior artillery and the chariot regiment going north, the Southwestern government of the Chinna also completed the deployment of the air force. According to information sent back by the imperial spies, the Chinna built a total of four runways at Daxing Airport, and gathered at least 200 various fighter aircraft and corresponding oil and ammunition reserves sufficient to complete the Tianjin-Beijing campaign. And Chiang Kai-shek also dispatched 20 fighter-based aircraft to Beiping Airport. In contrast, in the face of the Chinese's more than 320 various aircraft, the Empire's air force was limited to the air force of the special mixed formation.
At dawn just yesterday, during a sneak attack on Daxing Airport, the Chinese aircraft formation was unexpectedly discovered by the Chinese, and the fleet was intercepted by the Chinese superior fighter, including the aircraft destroyed by the new anti-aircraft gun of the Chinese, and the entire fleet was removed. Two aircraft were forced to land outside the Empire-occupied area, and the rest of the army was wiped out. According to the information provided by the returning pilots, the Empire ’s warships have lagged behind the Chinna ’s main fighters across the board. Whether it is fighting, fighting or running away, they are not their opponents. "
Shirakawa nodded, he also knew these things, but this was not what he wanted, "Ishihara Jun, talk about your views on this war, I want to hear your views on the next war."
Ishihara smiled and drank a large glass of sake with a look of excitement. The failure of the empire, although likely to allow him to succeed more smoothly, also made him feel great shame and burden.
"I think that the Chinese's general offensive will be launched within a week, and the empire's contraction back to the four divisions near Tianjin is no longer enough to fight against the Chinren ’s coalition. And because of the superior air force in the southwest of Chinner, our maritime supplies also It will soon be completely cut off. Tianjin will become a lonely city. "
"Ishihara-kun, the command of the military was to hold on to Tianjin and wait for reinforcements." Shirakawa sullenly drank a large glass of wine.
"His commander, although it is difficult to change the military command, but the result of sticking to Tianjin with four divisions is bound to be annihilated."
"The empire is already mobilizing more reinforcements. Maybe they can land in Tianjin in two to three months."
"Daxing Airport is only over one hundred kilometers away from Tianjin. Under the Chinese Air Force's advantage, even aircraft carriers can be sunk. Sooner or later, this maritime supply line will be completely cut off by the Chinese Air Force. With their aircraft, the combat radius will be easily Covers the entire offshore Tianjin. "
"We can dock at night."
"Even so, the empire couldn't support the war, and it insisted on a lone city on China's land, but the empire needed to transport reinforcements and supplies from home. In the words of the supporter, it was called a loss."
"We can negotiate to force the Chin man to yield."
"It's useless, His Excellency the Commander, IMHO, we are likely to persist when the negotiations are not progressing. Chiang Kai-shek may agree to the negotiations, but the Southwestern government, what they want to do is wipe out us."
"Kishiishihara-kun, your views on the war are indeed very unique, did not disappoint me."
Shirakawa sighed a long time. It was impossible for the command of the military to know Ishihara, but Ishihara's analysis was similar to what he thought.
From the day Baoding lost the Fifth Division until more than a month ago when the emperor team was forced to give up attacking Peiping, retreating outside Tianjin, and building a fortified fortification, Baichuan Yi, commander, had already foreseen it today.
Tianjin, surrounded by an army of more than 20 divisions and a total force approaching the 300,000 mark, had to find its way out of it in addition to holding back or waiting for negotiations.
"Her commander, my local friends told me that the Empire has sent a negotiating mission to Nanjing."
"That's right." Shirakawa nodded, this person still has a certain network. "Unfortunately, the latest development is that the secret minister just arrived in Nanjing and was exposed by newspapers in the southwest. Chiang Kai-shek was afraid of destroying the anti-Japanese war on his back. The charge of conducting traitorous negotiations has been rejected. "
"Baga, it's too much for that person. In their words, it's overwhelming."
Shirakawa smiled at the report and said: "Ishihara Jun, I want to hear your other opinions about the war, such as other ways for the Imperial Tianjin to send troops."
Shiyuan Guaner stared at Shirakawa Yoshie, and said a long time before he said, "Hi Commander, I think the army should immediately abandon Tianjin and go north to the Shanhaiguan Customs, pinching Zhang Xueliang back and forth. As long as the action is fast, even if we cannot break through Zhang Xueliang's defense line, we are far away After the Chinese ’s Daxing Airport, they can also bypass the Ningjin defense line and detour from the northwest of Jinzhou into the northeast with the Kwantung Army detaining Zhang Xueliang, so that the emperor team can keep the main force. "
"Ishihara, Tianjin, which the empire paid a huge sacrifice for, cannot easily give up." Shirakawa sighed. In fact, as the commander of the sending army, when the battle in Tianjin and Beijing was not smooth, he thought about it. The military headquarters and the emperor did not insist on occupying the entire North China region north of North China, but only landed behind the Ning Jin defense line and completely won the northeast outside the customs, perhaps the war would be much smoother.
As a member of the Empire, he understood the desire of the Empire for a large territory, but as an Imperial Army general who led the front line, he was more calm.
Ishihara Waner: "Her commander, there are no outsiders here, please forgive me, the appetite of the military is too big. According to my previous plan for China, it should be gradually encroaching on Zhina, first stabilizing the northeast, and relying on the rich northeast of the chinna To resolve the domestic economic crisis and develop the empire's land and navy. We must know that for the entire Northeast, the empire had fought for decades with the Chinna and the Russians. I think that compared with the stable occupation of the entire Northeast, north of Tianjin The vast area of ​​China is not the first priority of the Empire. "
Shirakawa shook his head: "Ishihara, the battle between You and Itagaki in the northeast, while encouraging the empire, has also made the empire's decision makers stunned by victory. Even me, once included, thinks Tianjin The front line of Beijing will be another more important lifeline for the empire following the lifeline of Manchuria and Mongolia. "
"Emperor of the Empire" Ishihara smiled at nothing and only drank.
"Ishihara Jun doesn't have to be discouraged, maybe you will take on a heavy task as the battle in Tianjin deteriorates again."
"Hai, Your Commander, rest assured, Ishihara is waiting for arrangements at any time"
On September 5, 932, the Chinese coalition attacked the Japanese army in Tianjin.
The Joint Operations Command, the Southwest Army Command Room, and Chen Jun took over the combat order written by the Chief of Staff. The above was the general offensive combat order signed by Supreme Chief Zhang Shusheng himself. After the two confirmed that they were correct, the combat staff handed over a red phone.
"Chairman, my name is Chen Jun. All the ministries in the southwest of the Tianjin-Beijing battlefield have made their final preparations, and all ministries have also made their final preparations. They can start the offensive at any time. Please give your order."
In fact, originally according to Southwest regulations, such a large-scale battle could be executed after Zhang Shusheng personally issued a power generation order, but in order to respect him, Chen Jun and Jiang Baili unanimously decided to call Zhang Shusheng again and let him personally order a general attack.
After Zhang Shusheng agreed, he immediately ordered the general attack to be started at the scheduled time. He personally called Xia Haihai, the commander of the Air Force Command Center of Daxing Airport and the artillery cluster of the Tianjin-Beijing battlefield. Although the timing of the takeoff of the Air Force and the firing of the artillery cluster were also precisely determined, he also ordered it himself, because this will be a turning point in the war that will change the Chinese National Games. He takes it very seriously.
Daxing Airport
"Deputy Commander Li, Chief Southwest Telephone"
Air Force Deputy Commander Li Xianghong, who had been waiting for a long time in front of the red phone, almost conditionedly picked up the phone quickly and stood upright.
"President, I'm Li Xianghong"
"Beginning of the offensive, your ministry will take off the combat aircraft according to the scheduled combat plan."
"Yes"
"Woo ... wow ... wow ..."
Harsh operational siren sounded throughout Daxing Airport.
The four field airport runways that were finally completed after four months finally ushered in a key mission. The Air Force, as an offensive unit one step ahead of the artillery, will launch the most violent air strikes on various important positions of the Japanese army.
The aircraft docked at the airport has already been filled with fuel, loaded with heavy aviation bombs or aircraft machine gun bullets, and the aircraft at the foremost take-off position on the runway is ready to take off.
"0 calls the tower, 0 check is complete, everything is normal, and requested to take off."
"The tower received it and took off immediately."
"0 received"
This fighter No. 2 fighter No. 0 finally slid up. In the rapid rotation of the propeller, the aircraft became faster and faster, and finally pulled up the nose and rushed into the blue sky.
Almost at the same time, three other fighters took off at the same time, and three fighters quickly formed the first air formation, hovering to perform missions.
Daxing Airport, which was repaired after four months, day and night, has all the conditions for a large field airport. The airport has good take-off conditions and can meet the rapid take-off of the fleet.
Soon, the first wave of bomber formations completed the air formation. Under the of the fighter, including the bomber-2 bomber, even the latest bomber-3 bomber with a semi-metal structure, and the C-3 modified Bombers, including three types of bombers, became bomber formations. In addition, there are a small number of confirmatory dive bombers. Such bombers with similar operational characteristics to naval-equipped dive torpedoes will become a new favorite of the Air Force.
The two aircraft are responsible for the safety of the entire fleet. They are equipped with the latest southwest aerial radars. The C-3 transport aircraft is a large radar that will provide short-to-medium-range air early warning for the entire air strike.
"Reporting Commander, Chief Commander telephone."
Like Li Xianghong, Xia Haihai also picked up the remote speaker on the table for the first time, and stood upright: "General manager, I am Xia Haihai."
"Order the artillery groups and start shelling immediately according to the scheduled battle plan"
"Yes"
In the plan to attack the Japanese army in Tianjin, the artillery group consisting of 10,000 artillery pieces of various calibers was mainly divided into five positions, and the 75-caliber artillery group was the most advanced artillery group. The 05 artillery constituted several subsequent artillery groups.
The order was just issued. An artillery gun pulled out of the temporary bunker ahead of time has been prepared for a long time. Not only have they adjusted the firing guns, the soldiers are holding the shells and ready to load.
"Five minutes fire"
With the order of Xia Haihai, five artillery groups fired at almost the same time. All kinds of artillery pieces roared at the same time, and a large-caliber shell flew out of the barrel.
The dark clouds fluttered the sky, which was stirred by countless flying shells. Over the narrow Tianjin battlefield, there seemed to be flying shells everywhere.
In this piece of Chinese ground, there have never been so many cannons roaring at the same time. At that moment, all the artillerymen were almost crazy when they looked at the flash of fire on the artillery position and the monstrous roar.
Where is the roar of artillery? This is clearly a roar of suffering people who have been bullied for nearly a century.
This is the roar of a nation's awakening.
This is a horn of national revival
"It's really intoxicating, Chinese, this is the voice of the Chinese themselves."
Although Zhang Shusheng was far away from the southwest, he was still sitting in front of the phone, listening to the roaring cannon sound from the microphone that was not hung up, as if he had come to the battlefield of Tianjin and Beijing a few miles away, and witnessed the turn of the nation ’s fate. war.
He knows clearly that after this battle, the Chinese will really embark on the road of revival, and the Japanese army will only be a stepping stone to China's rise.
After a long time, he picked up the phone again and dialed a secret number: "He An, the general attack has begun. Pay attention to the Japanese actions and be ready to fight."
"The man's main attack has begun"
Standing in front of the window, looking at the sky almost red by the fire in the distance outside the city, Shirakawa seemed to feel that the whole land was beating. Although the Chinese did not shell Tianjin City, they concentrated on flying gate artillery to carry out high-intensity shelling on the out-of-town fortifications built by the Japanese army for a month.
The air waves and dust generated by the explosion have already drifted into the city. From the fire light reflecting the red sky and the slightly shaking ground, he can imagine how violent the Chinese shelling was.
Soon, Shirakawa received a call again, saying that it was the Chinese plane that began air strikes on various defensive points. Under the focus of the Zina plane and artillery, the remaining artillery positions were well hidden, but still in the first place. It was destroyed in a short time. Except for the half of the artillery wing hidden in the residential area of ​​the city, the artillery has been continuously lost since the beginning of the war. Today, the Imperial Army has lost all other artillery pieces of 75 or more on the Tianjin battlefield.
The violent air strike launched by the Chin Air Force, despite being sworn in by the empire's specially strengthened anti-aircraft fire, was still under the cover of their cluster artillery and the plane's air strike, and was destroyed shortly after. He was rushed to the outside of Tianjin by the squadron. Although he built a solid position, he was trapped in this small space and lacked strategic depth. The Japanese troops of the four divisions except the troops hidden in the city, the others only Can hide in the trenches, or shiver in the anti-artillery fortifications, or be dense with artillery shells and heavy aviation bombs, or even the reddish Vulcan incendiary bomb that can burn dozens of meters of fortifications.
After violent cluster artillery coverage and air strikes, the full-scale attack finally began. Nearly 200,000 squadrons formed several offensive clusters. On the front of more than eight kilometers, they selected several offensive points and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
The battle went smoothly. Although the Japanese army had local supplies, the Southwest Air Force dispatched reconnaissance aircraft to monitor the sea almost every day. As soon as a ship docked, it would immediately lead to an air attack and the Japanese ships that were blown up in the offshore Tianjin, Already reached a total displacement of nearly 100,000 tons.
Relying on the shore-supply supplies at night, the logistics of the entire Japanese army's nearly four divisions were so scary that in some combat classes, even two people shared a rifle. The failed battle for four months not only consumed the Japanese fighting spirit, but also consumed a lot of guns and ammunition.
Food and supplies can be snatched from the Chinese, but there is nowhere to grab guns and ammunition.
Even so, the Japanese army also relied on the stubborn defense of the fortifications, but they faced a squadron with a superior artillery group and absolute superior air support.
At several Chinese offensive points, the Japanese army's crazy containment effect was very limited, and the more they resisted, the easier it was to attract fire coverage.
The fortifications of the depth system built by the Japanese army were breached one by one. At the fastest time, it took only forty minutes for the main southwest division to break through a line of defense.
This was a non-stop battle. In Shirakawa, he gave up to Tianjin to the emperor, and the report that he sent troops northward and northeastward was relentlessly repelled. After being severely reprimanded, the Japanese divisions of the four divisions had ended. It is doomed to be 'coexistence and death' with Tianjin. The Japanese could not retreat, let alone evacuate, and the only thing they could do was to resist stubborn resistance.
The more than 200,000 squadrons also had no choice. Even if some troops suffered heavy losses when attacking Japanese fortifications, they also had to advance. At this time, the Southwest Army and the Kuomintang Army had no distinction. Everyone had only one idea. , Defeat the Japanese, and recapture Tianjin, which belongs to the Chinese.
Actually, there is another reason for the total attack to start at this time.
"Her Commander-in-Chief, are you sure?"
"Yes, Ishihara Jun, I'm sure this is a confidential message from the Ministry of Military Affairs. It's limited to me and you know that in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, once the war is not smooth, you must implement disciplinary actions against the Chinese."
Shirakawa didn't stay in the combat command room. There were enough people in the military department. He just needed to be here and wait for the final result.
Accompanying him, in addition to a secret message from the Ministry of Military Affairs, was a saber of the Emperor's Royal Emperor, and Ishihara Waner, the future star of the empire.
The secret message was for Shirakawa Yoshino, and now he gave this order to Ishihara Waner.
"Yoxi, let me Ishihara be the empire, and even if the person took Tianjin back, it would be a dead city!" After reading the order on that page, Ishihara Waner lit a match and ignited it He already knew how to do it.
"Ishihara-kun, this matter is very important. You must be more prepared, especially taking care not to leave too much evidence. If the person provokes the incident in the future, the empire will say that these civilians were killed by their own cannons and planes. You There will be plenty of time, and when the other imperial teams retreat into the city, you will be able to evacuate Tianjin. "Shirakawa Yi urged.
"Very well, Your Excellency Commander, rest assured, I know how to do it." Ishihara Waner, who is very good at conspiracy and trickery, would not know how to do it. He nodded now, and until now, he finally understood why there is always a non For example, the Imperial Army Corps of the reserve team did not move. It turned out to be a punishment task.
Instead of leaving immediately, Ishihara smiled, saluting a military salute, and asked, "My Excellency Commander, I have one last question before acting."
"Say it," Shirakawa said as he wiped his beloved saber without raising his head.
"Why the empire was reluctant to go north, but chose to let the Imperial Army jade of the four divisions break in Tianjin."
Shirakawa shook his head and said in a self-sounding tone, "Four divisions who fled to China because of defeat were far less important to the military and emperor than the four jade divisions in Tianjin. . The four divisions sacrificed for the dream of the imperial continent are nothing. We will arm fourteen or even forty more powerful divisions.
The military ministry and the emperor have prepared enough publicity and excuses for this defeat. This defeat will have a dedicated person to blame. I am one of them. The defeat will not only shake the status of the military, but will even more Gather the hearts of the empire.
The defeat of the war has made the domestic economic crisis more serious. Only with this defeat can the people see the rise of Chinna, and the military and emperor can implement the militarization line more smoothly. Only by successfully shifting people's attention will the emperor and the military be safe and sound, and continue to prepare for the great cause of the empire. Only with a fully-powered empire will it be possible to compete against the Chinese again in the next few years.
When you return to your country, your Emperor may have issued an emergency decree. "
After the battle entered the evening, the Japanese army outside the city had lost a number of lines of defense. Since the outbreak of the fighting for nearly ten hours, the Japanese army has retreated one after another and many positions have fallen.
Without an accident, the Japanese army will have a hard time staying until noon tomorrow, and the entire Tianjin battle may end in about 20 hours.
When the night was approaching, a Japanese squadron was divided into three squadrons, performing secret operations in the city strangely. They slammed the door from door to door and drove the poor, helpless man to the street.
"Fast, listen to Taijun, those who don't want to die will move fast."
In the screaming roar of traitor translators, more and more people were expelled from their homes, and Tianjin was about to be liberated, but these civilians were expelled from their homes overnight, a terrible ominous shadow covering everyone.
"Wow……"
The screams of the babies in the night sky spread far.
The savage Japanese army carried out on the spot for those who refused to leave the house, and those children who could not act were stabbed to death on the spot with bayonets.
As more and more people were rushed from home to a nearby street, the Japanese troops stood on both sides of the street, muzzles pointing at the Chinese people shaking in the night sky.
"Taijun, people in this street are all concentrated."
The traitor went into the dark and bowed to Ishihara Waner, the person in charge of the operation.
"Sga, you are a big good citizen and cooperate well. You will go to the empire to enjoy prosperity and prosperity with the Imperial Army." Ishihara Waner nodded in recognition and immediately ordered: "Let's get started."
"Da da da……"
The heavy machine gun placed on one side of the street opened fire abruptly, and the Japanese on both sides of the street shot or stabbed people who tried to escape. The Japanese seemed to have foreseen the failure after Tianming. The Japanese did not kill these Chinese to be killed again. People rushed to a secret location to kill them uniformly, but shot and killed on the street nearby.
However, at this critical moment, two dull gunshots, unlike the sounds of heavy machine guns and ordinary rifles, suddenly sounded.
"Snapped……"
The Japanese heavy machine gunner, who was firing, exploded abruptly with his head, and was headshot on the spot.
"Enemy attack"
The Japanese army of this squadron began to mess up, while the civilians took the opportunity to rush out towards the open street. Although the scattered shooting of the Japanese army caused some deaths and injuries, at least a considerable portion of their lives were saved.
"Damn it."
In the attic in the distance, He An slowly adjusted his muzzle. He was already so angry that his hand holding the sniper rifle had turned white because he was too hard. The entire face was bloodless and the whole man was murderous. Introverted, but revealing a very uncomfortable feeling.
The shot just hit the head of the Japanese heavy machine gunner in the night sky.
A member of the Southwest Special Intelligence Department received secret information, saying that the Japanese army would have a top-secret operation before breaking the city, codenamed "Zinan Atonement Day."
After learning this important information, Southwest not only speeded up the pace of the general attack, but also prepared multiple hands. One of the special forces that secretly entered the city, and the other was ...
"Captain, the other two teams also succeeded. The Japanese thought that we had come in and were busy searching for our people who entered the city. Civilians suffered casualties, but most of them rushed out."
A special commander next to him reported to He An.
The Longya Special Forces members who entered the city this time only had four people who had the ability to snip at night, and Major General He An was one of them. At the last time, the action team got a detailed plan of the Japanese army's operations sent by intelligence personnel, and it was able to arrive and arrange the sniper position urgently. Just now, He An hit the machine gunner who was shooting the civilians with the Japanese army's killing civilians in the two consecutive shots with the absolute superhuman ability of night operation and super dark sniper ability.
"We can't hold the entire squad alone." He An fired a few more times and knocked down the most active Japanese troops with flashes of fire. At this time, he could only expect civilians to run away . "Let's go and do the next task."
Although he knew that the night would be full of killings, He An had no choice, because there were more important things waiting for them.
An old sheep's soup shop near Tianjin Xichengmen.
Near Laoyangji, several command points and hidden points have been controlled by the special forces led by He An. Although this is not the focus of the Japanese patrol, the rushing Japanese troops can still be seen on the eve of this defeat.
Either chasing civilians, or getting drunk, or changing teams to the Japanese army, as long as you pass this street, no one can go out.
"Time is up."
In Old Lao Ji, He An looked at his watch and knew it was time. He walked behind the counter and pushed open a hidden door, exposing a hole that could only be climbed by one person.
"Coo ..."
Under the alert of several special combatants, He An sent a signal.
"Cuckoo ..." The same signal came from the dark hole.
From time to time, a Southwest Army with a flashlight climbed out of the cave, followed by two, three ...
"Salute, Kang Tianke, the commander of the Second Battalion of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment of the Southwest Authentic Army."
"Dragon Tooth, He An"
"General He, our mission has been completed." Kang Tianke was responsible for the tunnel excavation plan that was carried out concurrently with the dive-in plan. After the squadron rushed the Japanese army back to Tianjin City for deployment,
He Anjing gave a courtesy and laughed with a rare smile, "Your hard work for more than a month will have a significant impact on the victory of the entire battle."
They were really hard. The people in these authentic corps were originally southwest miners. Due to their general instincts for excavating the fortifications, in 929, Zhang Shusheng established a southwestern authentic corps under a paper order.
In previous battles, the authentic corps did not have the opportunity to play a practical role, but only followed the main force and participated in the excavation and construction of some underground bunkers, while preventing the enemy from penetrating from the underground excavations.
In this Tianjin-Beijing battle, the authentic corps in the southwest paid a lot of hard work for the construction of the fortifications, and some complicated positions supporting the underground fortifications were successfully and quickly built with their participation.
Because the geological structure of the North China Plain is suitable for this type of underground fortification operation, at the beginning of the formulation of the battle plan, in response to the characteristics of the Japanese occupation of Tianjin as a city, Zhang Shusheng came up with an idea and thought that a more alternative combat operation might be possible.
However, when the Japanese army was forced to retreat outside Tianjin to dig solid fortifications, they guarded Tianjin. According to the purpose of the city's resistance, Zhang Shusheng ordered the authentic army to prepare for underground excavations.
Especially when receiving important information that the Japanese army might launch a massacre on the eve of the defeat in the city, Zhang Shusheng even ordered a power generation order, asking Chen Jun to dispatch troops to cooperate with the local corps to excavate this secret underground passage.
In order to make the plan sudden enough, the plan was limited to the troops performing the task and Chen Jun and Jiang Baili knew about it. After the Southwest Army deliberately captured an upland close to the Japanese fortifications, the authentic corps carrying professional tools began to excavate the tunnel leading to the Xichengmen in Tianjin. Forty days, they dug the tunnel day and night, with three shifts of efficiency, dug out this tunnel with a strong will for several kilometers.
Later, about one battalion of the Southwest Army emerged from the tunnel, merged into the night, and began to implement the plan to rescue civilians. They have no combat mission and will not arrest any Japanese war criminals. Their only mission is to stop the massacre that took place in the night.
Behind them, a steady stream of soldiers began to drill out of the narrow tunnels, increasing the number of people, and then began to rely on houses and streets to lay down fortifications. These subsequent troops would prevent the Japanese from retreating from the West Gate into the city.
"Chief Commander, the entire battle plan is under normal execution. It is expected that at noon tomorrow, it will take 2 hours and we will achieve the final victory of this battle in Tianjin."
Su Yuren, head of the combat section, is reporting to Zhang Shusheng about the decisive battle in the Tianjin-Beijing battle.
Zhang Shusheng's thoughts seemed to fly to Tianjin city. Maybe others don't understand. He could wait for the main troops to enter the city, only a few hours later. Why need to dig another tunnel.
After all, the Japanese in this era did not even know what street fighting was. They had neither conducted training for urban street fighting nor had corresponding equipment. With the Japanese combat style, if you lose outside the city, it must be retreating into the city, killing it, and doing your best.
These are not the most important. The most important thing is that Zhang Shusheng couldn't accept the pre-dawn massacre by sitting and watching the Japanese army. Yes, maybe this slaughter under the curtain will only kill 10,000 or 20,000 people, far less than the Nanjing Massacre in the original history. But for him, the death of any innocent person is a painful matter.
