Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 668: Favorable Situation

In the Battle of Tianjin, less than two hours after the general offensive started, the Northwest Attack Group had already invaded the urban area of ​​Tianjin. This was entirely due to the smooth implementation of Tang Qiu's strategy of attacking from the east to the west. Yu Guanghan had almost all the Japanese troops guarding this direction.

Attracted to eastern Tianjin, those improvised armed expatriates are just a few more scapegoats.

The troops had just entered the city, and Tang Qiuli couldn't hold it any longer. He wanted to enter the city. If he was lucky, he would encounter blind Japanese or traitors. Tang Longqian could still shoot meat. Hearing

When he heard this, Shan Hu rolled his eyelids and looked at him suspiciously. When Tang Qiuli saw it, he knew that he was going to do something bad, and Shan Hu would definitely disagree.

Busy smiled and put his arms around Shan Hu's shoulders, and said seductively: "Huzi, think about it, the troops have invaded. I, the commander, can't stay away from the battlefield to watch the fun. I have to command the troops nearby. Besides, how long do you have?"

Don't have the thing in your hand anymore? How about we pick something up behind?" It was quite difficult for Tang Qiuli. He hugged Shan Hu's shoulders like he was hugging a hill, which looked awkward.

Shan Hu thought about it. Several senior leaders in the army had warned him more than once that he would never let the division commander put himself in danger. If something went wrong, Shan Hu would use his head to speak. But what Xiao Qiu said made sense. The little devil's rules were correct.

The troops have been almost wiped out. Since I took up the job of division commander and guard captain, I have to kill so many less brats. What a loss.

Tang Qiuli saw that Shanhu was moved, struck while the iron was hot, and continued to seduce, "Huzi, let's just follow the third brigade of the East Pointer. Say hello to their brigade commander Miao Zhengliu in advance, and keep it safe." He couldn't say anything about this guy, but he

Hard to move

Okay, listening to the receding gunshots, Shan Hu also became anxious. He waved his hand, and several squadron captains of the guard brigade, who had been eager and eager for a long time, immediately came to his side. Shan Hu muttered a few words respectively, and the squadron captains went to prepare happily.

.

The entire guard brigade was dispatched, more than 1,200 people, to protect Tang Qiuli, Mei Ting, and Mei Xue in the middle. Thirty special guard soldiers formed the innermost protective circle. Tang Qiuli was speechless for a while. This formation, let alone

As a Japanese soldier, even if he accidentally bumped into a small shrimp, he would have been beaten into a hornet's nest by the soldiers on the periphery. Can he still make a move? It's depressing.

Mei Ting and Mei Xue looked at Tang Qiuli who looked depressed next to them, knew what he was thinking, looked at each other, and moved closer to him, one to the left and one to the right, sandwiching him in the middle, with their submachine guns flat on their chests.

As he acted as a personal guard, Tang Qiuli was even more speechless and depressed. If he wanted to make any move, he would have to pass the test of two fragrant bodies first. Well, no chance.

The journey was uneventful. Just as Tang Qiuli expected, he didn't see a single Japanese soldier, not even a guy who looked like a traitor. Tang Qiuli was so angry that he wanted to curse Miao Zheng, the commander of the third brigade of the East Point.

Flow, this guy is too greedy. He is very nimble and like an iron broom. He doesn't leave any residue behind. At daybreak, he is already sitting in the office of Ichiro Ono, the former commander of the Japanese Tianjin garrison.

There were still sporadic gunshots in the city. Yu Guanghan's troops and Tang Qiusheng's troops joined forces in urban Tianjin. Because the northwest attack group was advancing rapidly, the Japanese troops in eastern Tianjin were captured before they had time to withdraw to the city.

dumplings, ho

What's more, they couldn't withdraw at all. Yu Guanghan's troops clung to it and fought with attack. The Japanese commander wanted to carry out Ono's order, but he couldn't do it and could only fight with Yu Guanghan's troops.

Together, waiting for the fate of destruction.

When Tang Qiuli led the guard brigade into Ono's office, the fighting here had long ended. The soldiers of the third brigade of the East Point were busy cleaning the inside and outside of the building. Brigadier Miao Zhengliu pushed his hat to the back of his head.

, stepped on the shell box, and yelled at the phone, it seemed that the Second Regiment had discovered a large arsenal, fearing that other troops would snatch the loot, Miao Zhengliu ordered the armed guards, no one was allowed to move, this was the third

The spoils of the brigade.

Seeing Tang Qiuli coming, he quickly put down the phone, trotted over, stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the division seat, the third brigade of the East Point is cleaning the battlefield. Please give instructions to brigade commander Miao Zhengliu." There was a sense of victory in his words.

Joy and pride in winning the battle. Among the four brigades in the East Point that participated in the Tianjin Campaign, Miao Zhengliu’s third brigade fought the best, killing two organized regiments of Japanese troops and seizing the most equipment and supplies.

, the speaking voice and movement will naturally be loud.

Tang Qiuli returned the salute with a smile. He was not very familiar with the brigade commanders of the East Point Force. Strictly speaking, they belonged to another system and were directly under the control of Liu Tiehan. They naturally had less dealings with him and were not as good as those directly under the division headquarters.

Field brigade commanders, who came here all the way, he saw the brave fighting style and skillful individual qualities of the third brigade, and he sincerely liked this general who came from the Northeast Army.

A strong general will be liked by any commander, and this has been true since ancient times, and Tang Qiuli was no exception. However, he also secretly muttered in his heart, if I had known that you, Miao Zhengliu, could fight like this, I wouldn't have followed you.

There was not even a chance to fire a shot. In fact, the troops in the East Point had been confronting the Japanese troops who slightly exceeded their own in the Cangzhou line for several months. Although there were no major battles, small battles were fought almost every day. Each brigade was actually fighting.

In the battle, he was fully tempered.

Liu Tiehan has a principle. In small-scale battles, the East Point headquarters will not interfere, but it must take advantage. If you suffer a loss and lose troops, I'm sorry, you, the brigade commander, will replace you, forcing each brigade commander to rack his brains in every battle.

Each brigade competed with each other to compare the number of imps killed and the amount of effort.

No matter how much supplies were obtained, this formed a trend in the East Point troops. The battles became better and better, and the troops became stronger and stronger. The entire army was like a sword that became sharper as it was sharpened. It was no longer what it was when it was first reorganized.

Even if Marshal Zhang came in person, he would not dare to recognize that this was his old base unit.

Tang Qiuli asked Miao Zhengliu to go about his business. Several soldiers came over carrying a stretcher. Tang Qiuli lifted the white cloth covering it and saw the body of a senior Japanese officer with a long slash on his abdomen.

The wound, the purple intestines exposed outside the body, and the pale face turned out to be a lieutenant general. He must be Lieutenant General Ono Ichiro, the highest commander of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin. He committed suicide. Tang Qiuli waved his hand for the soldiers to carry him away.

This was the second Japanese lieutenant general who died in his own hands. The first Japanese lieutenant general who died was also in Tianjin. Could it be that this is the grave of a senior Japanese general? Or was it a coincidence? Tang Qiuli didn't want to do more research. Anyway, it was

The Japanese troops who invaded China, whether they were soldiers or generals, were destined to be killed.

The morning sun rises, and the gushing rays of rays envelope this city on the coast of the Bohai Sea. The gunfire in the urban area has subsided. By the July 7th Incident, in less than a year, the economy, industry, and commerce of this North China had completely changed.

Tianjin, the military and transportation center, the largest port city in North China, and the largest supply base for the Japanese army in North China, changed hands again and fell into the hands of Tang Qiuli.

In this battle, after twenty-four hours of fierce fighting, more than 52,000 Japanese garrison troops in Tianjin and more than 2,800 Japanese military police troops were wiped out. The headquarters of the Japanese North China secret service in Tianjin was destroyed, and a group of puppet North China Jingan troops were captured.

More than 14,000 people, many Japanese army supplies and arsenals fell into the hands of the Japanese Army. Speaking of which, this is also due to the five special operations detachments that sneaked into Tianjin in advance, and the two regiments of the Quick Reaction Brigade with more than 7,000 people.

The efforts of a warrior.

The Sulu Mobile Corps made a contribution to this battle, especially the three brigades led by Yu Guanghan, who fought fiercely with an equal number of Japanese troops for nearly eleven hours and successfully completed the tasks assigned by the division commander Tang Qiuli.

mission, the number of troop casualties reached more than 7,000, more than half of the brigade, and more than 2,100 of them were killed. This was all because at the beginning of the war, the Japanese garrison strength in Tianjin was almost entirely on the head of Guanghan's troops.

.

In this battle of Tianjin, the participating troops of the ** Division suffered a total of more than 9,300 casualties, including more than 3,200 killed in action. At this cost, the Japanese army was able to capture the solidly fortified area with less than 10,000 casualties.

In the big city, more than 50,000 Japanese troops were annihilated. Tang Qiuli, commanders at all levels of the army, and ordinary soldiers all thought that this was a huge victory. The various materials in Tianjin alone were worth fighting.

.

The smoke of the Battle of Tianjin has not yet dissipated. Tang Qiuli ordered Zhou Yushan's transportation troops to move into Tianjin immediately. It was still the old method, the "Three Guangs" policy. Zhou Yushan was a veteran and there was no need to worry. Tianjin had not been completely captured yet. He

The transport troops have already assembled in Bazhou, looking eager to make a fortune.

At present, the situation in North China is extremely favorable to Tang Qiuli. Between Tianjin and Pingjin, there are only two isolated cities, Zhangjiakou and Peiping, that are not connected with each other. As long as Tang Qiuli is willing, he can attack any point. The Japanese defense force in Peking is not necessarily

Much more than Tianjin. When attacking Tianjin, the Japanese troops in Peiping were more honest than rabbits, which just shows that their guilty conscience was extremely high.

Tang Qiu left and sent a telegram to ask Tong Batu, who was monitoring the movements of the Kwantung Army on the front line of Shanhaiguan. He received the exact information that the Kwantung Army had no troops present. He was not yet relieved and ordered Yu Deshui to activate the Northeast Intelligence Network. He learned that the Kwantung Army was

Troops are being assembled in the Liaoyang area and are expected to be completed in five to six days. The purpose is unknown and will be reported after verification.

Enough. The Kwantung Army gathered its forces just to march south into the Pass and join the Tianjin battlefield. If Tianjin fell, Okamura Neji would not fail to get the news, but he had no intention of returning to Tianjin. What he relied on was the Kwantung Army troops going south. This old

The Japanese are determined to waste their lives in the Taihang Mountains. Well, before the Kwantung Army arrives, I will eat up your hundreds of thousands of troops in Xian County and Suning.

After solving this heavy Japanese army group in North China, the situation in North China will definitely be in his favor. On the day the Tianjin Battle ended, Tang Qiuli's eyes were fixed on this Japanese army, attacking the Tianjin troops, leaving a brigade on guard.

Tianjin, the remaining eight infantry brigades and six artillery brigades immediately went south to Xianxian and Suning front lines, and together with the six brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, which was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, they attacked from the front and back to kill this Japanese army.

Tang Qiuli made another move. He wanted to see how Okamura Neji would react?
