Predator Reborn

Chapter 472 Attack on Peiping

However, the 12 mountain field artillery pieces that had just been captured by the Japanese army were indeed not polite in the hands of the soldiers... Each artillery piece, under the control of the soldiers, was like a sniper rifle.

Wherever there were more kidnappers, powerful artillery shells were fired. At the same time, in order to prevent the Japanese artillery troops from counterattacking, 12 mountain field guns fired almost every shell and changed the artillery position to allow the Japanese artillery troops to attack.

Every counterattack was like hitting cotton, without any effect... In this way, sporadic artillery shells continued to kill and injure the little devils' effective forces...

At this moment, the direct column of Ezhou has been completely occupied. Except for the two infantry regiments left to collect the assets that the Japanese and puppet troops in the city have looted from the people in the past few years, and to eliminate the remaining hostile armed forces in the territory, the remaining two

A brigade, a heavy artillery regiment, two armored battalions, two air defense regiments, nearly 15,000 troops. Under the personal leadership of Commander Liu Hua, they marched toward Tianjin in a mighty manner, preparing to garrison the already guarded area.

Tianjin City was completely occupied by the 1st Brigade Regiment...

Finally, after five hours of rapid march, the mighty march finally arrived in Tianjin. Huang Zhengqing, the leader of the first guard regiment, Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations brigade, and others came to greet them.

The victorious rendezvous... The group of people drove into Tianjin City in a mighty manner. At this moment, the city of Tianjin was completely occupied by the guard group...

"Commander, Chief of Staff. This used to be the headquarters of the Japs. I have asked the soldiers to tidy it up again. What I mean is to make this place a temporary headquarters for our army..." Entering Tianjin City,

We arrived in front of a reinforced concrete building that was rare in the city. Huang Zhengqing, the leader of the first guard regiment, pointed to the three-story building in front of him and said.

Under the leadership of Huang Zhengqing, a group of people walked into this building that symbolized the Japanese military headquarters... Although the entire building had been completely cleared by the soldiers, the atmosphere of the war that had just gone through this building could not be erased.

Fact... The bullet holes on the walls and the smell of gunpowder smoke inside the building, without exception, show everyone that this place just experienced a cruel war not long ago...

"Commander, Chief of Staff. This building has three floors and is 15 meters high. It can be said to be the highest point in the entire Tianjin city. The headquarters is placed here to facilitate the communication troops to set up radio stations. In addition, this is a very solid building.

In addition to the Japanese heavy bombs that can pose a threat to the concrete structure building, other types of aerial bombs, even 150mm heavy artillery shells, cannot cause any harm to it... When this headquarters was originally occupied, if not

The soldiers will definitely pay a huge price for the help of the special operations brigade..." Pointing at the bullet holes in front of him, Huang Zhengqing introduced to everyone...

"Okay, in that case, the headquarters will be placed here. Chief of Staff, immediately notify the Staff Office. The guard battalion directly under the headquarters will arrange the headquarters in the shortest possible time... In addition, Commander Huang, Captain Liu, you two

Please give me and the chief of staff immediately a report on the results and losses of the troops last night, especially the situation at the port..." Regarding the headquarters selected by Huang Zhengqing, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and then ordered.

Two minutes later, as all the commanders and fighters from the security battalion directly under the headquarters and the staff office quickly entered the building and began to arrange the headquarters in the entire building...Commander Zhang Hua, Chief of Staff Li Qing, and the guard regiments

Four people, Commander Huang Zhengqing and Captain Liu Xiaogang of the special operations brigade, were sitting in a small room...

"Commander, let me first talk about the situation in Tianjin City... There are 1,645 Japanese and puppet troops in Tianjin City. After a night of fighting, except for 258 Imperial Army troops who were captured, the remaining little Japanese, together with

Together with their senior commander, they were eliminated by us... In addition, during the battle, the first guard regiment lost 386 commanders and fighters, and the special operations group lost 39 people. Among them, 259 people were directly sacrificed. As for the results achieved by the troops, they are now being

Counting..." Huang Zhengqing first took out a list from his pocket and said to the commander and chief of staff in front of him...

"With the casualties of less than one battalion, more than 1,600 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. A good fight. Commander Huang, when the battle is over and we return to the base, I will personally give credit to your guard regiment, and it's

"Remember the great merit..." Regarding the victory achieved by the guard group, Liu Hua couldn't help but excitedly banged the table in front of him and shouted loudly...

"Commander, most of the credit here is due to the special operations brigade. If I want to record credit, I also credit the special operations brigade. Without the help and support of the special operations brigade, even if I was given another regiment of troops, it would be difficult to defeat the enemy.

In such a short period of time, with such few casualties, the city of Tianjin, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, was defeated." Huang Zhengqing said modestly...

"Okay, Captain Huang, don't be polite... Captain Liu, how is the situation at the port? I heard that the sky at the port was dyed red by the fire throughout the second half of the night yesterday. Tell us about yesterday.

What happened at the port at night..." Liu Hua smiled and looked at the special operations brigade captain Liu Xiaogang next to him.

"Reporting to the commander and political commissar. With the cooperation of the battalion directly under the guard brigade, the entire sneak attack plan was successfully completed without any accidents. However, when attacking the Japanese military camp, the level of resistance of the Japanese army exceeded our expectations.

, causing certain casualties to the battalion directly responsible for the attack... In last night's battle, 879 Japanese troops at the port, including all naval forces, were not spared and were all wiped out. In addition, we also blew up the Japanese troops staying at the port.

13 gunboats and three tanks, in general, successfully completed the tasks assigned to us by Commander..." Liu Xiaogang stood up and said...

"Okay, another big victory... However, although the Japs' gunboat was blown up by you, the main force of their fleet is still there after all. How about, during the battle, did the Japanese warships bombard the land?

Yes. Is there any big reaction from the Japanese air force reinforcements?" Liu Hua continued to ask.

"Commander, this is your credit. According to your request, we have placed all the Japanese expatriates in Tianjin at all strategic points in the two places to act as human shields for our army... So far, although the Japanese aircraft have continued to

They flew over us, but when they saw a large number of expatriates on the ground, they did not launch any attacks. The Japanese warships only conducted constant patrols around the port and did not launch artillery attacks..." Liu Xiaogang continued.

"Okay, let's call it, treat the other person the way he wants... The little devils and overseas Chinese no longer stay in their own country and come to China to bully our people. They deserve to suffer... Huang

Commander, remember, to deal with these little devils and expatriates, as long as they don't die. The other thing is their assets. My request is very simple, that is, when we retreat, they have nothing but a set of clothes on them.

, Nothing, let the little Japanese soldiers take care of their life and death..." Liu Hua's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent, and he ordered fiercely.

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission. Now, except for one battalion of the Guard Regiment responsible for guarding these little Japanese expatriates, the remaining two regiments have begun separate operations in the county to collect all the assets of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

So far, we have had several million in revenue, and this number is still rising sharply..." Huang Zhengqing said...

"Well done, this is how you should deal with the little devils, don't show any mercy... Captain Huang, Captain Liu, you go back first, go back to your positions, the chief of staff and I have something to discuss. If there is any mission

If so, I will inform you right away..." Regarding Huang Zhengqing's answer, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and said.

As the two people left, Chief of Staff Li Qing said: "Commander, I didn't expect that the progress of the troops was so smooth. In one night, they successfully captured Tianjin City and the port. It was simply unexpected.

What I didn't expect. Now, the hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials stockpiled at the port have been in our hands. I think we must seize the time to move them and strive to stock the port before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.

All strategic materials must be transported back to the base area..."

"But, Lao Li, this is hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials. Now we have less than 20,000 troops, plus less than 50 vehicles. Even if all the troops are involved,

Among the transportation ranks, it will take almost a month to transport all these hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials. And the little devil will give us a month to transport these strategic materials a little bit.

Transport it back to the base in a little while?" Liu Hua shook his head and said...

After listening to Liu Hua's words, Chief of Staff Li Qing immediately fell into thinking. However, a few minutes passed, and the frown on Li Qing's face still did not relax. It was obvious that he had not thought of anything.

The solution…

Looking at the frowning expression on the face of the chief of staff in front of him, Liu Hua continued: "Lao Li, I think that in order to solve this problem, we must start from two aspects... First, in the shortest possible time

, to strengthen our transportation capabilities, that is, to mobilize all young adults and transportation vehicles in the vast rural areas in and around Tianjin to participate in transporting supplies... The second is to delay the Japanese reinforcements from entering the Pingjin area.

Speed, at the same time, divert the Japanese army's strategic target, lead the Japanese reinforcements to other places, and cause them to move trouble eastward."

"The trouble is moving eastward? Commander, I very much agree with your first idea. However, so far, for the Japanese army, what else is more important than the hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials hoarded at the Tianjin port?

"How can we cause trouble for the little devils to move eastward?" Chief of Staff Li Qing had a puzzled look on his face and asked closely.

"Haha, Old Li, if nothing else happens, Bruce Lee's telegram from the Guard Brigade should be here soon... You know, Peiping has been the capital of China since ancient times and has a very important position in the hearts of the people and the world.

.If we concentrate our forces to recapture Peiping from the Japanese army, how big an impact will this incident have on the country and even the world? Considering the temperament of the little devils and the losses they suffered after the incident,

Yan Ming, they will never tolerate Peking returning to our hands..." Liu Hua said with confidence...

"Ah, Peiping..." The chief of staff's eyes quickly glanced at the map. Peiping, which is less than a day's journey from Tianjin, showed a shocked look on his face. Then, he slowly fell into thinking, reminiscing.

What Liu Hua just said.

At this moment, a report interrupted Chief of Staff Li Qing, who was deep in thought: "Report to Commander, Chief of Staff. I just received a telegram from the Guard Brigade..." A communications staff officer, holding a telegram, stood between two

In front of the individual, he loudly reported...

"Old Li, the telegram from the Guard Brigade has arrived..." As he spoke, Liu Hua had already taken the telegram from the hands of the communications staff and began to read it quickly. As time passed by, Commander Liu Hua's face showed

Go up, slowly showing a long-lost smile. Then, he handed the telegram in his hand to the Chief of Staff Li Qing with an expectant look on his face...

"Commander, it's just as you expected... The Japs have really concentrated their forces and are preparing to defend Beiping City... Originally, the purpose of letting the Guard Brigade carry Peiping was just to contain the effective strength of the Japanese army in Peiping and confuse the eyes of the Japs.

. It seems that we now have to change the original battle plan and concentrate our forces to attack Peiping. We will have a big decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Beiping area... around this Peiping, we will have a big decisive battle with the Japanese army.

Decisive battle..." After reading the telegram in his hand, the chief of staff looked at Liu Hua in front of him with admiration and said with certainty.

"Well, according to Bruce Lee's telegram, it can be seen that the Japanese troops stationed in Peiping, after losing an infantry regiment last night, are already very insufficient, and even armed foreigners are being used. However, this situation is not suitable for the current situation.

For us, it's nothing but good. If nothing happens and we concentrate our forces to launch an attack on Peiping, we won't be able to hold on for long just relying on the Japanese troops in Peiping City." Liu Hua nodded and agreed.

And until this moment, the two people still don't know that their actions are now being watched not only by the Japanese army, but also by the central government of Yan'an. Even the heads of European and American countries, at the same time, have pairs of eyes,

All gathered in the east, Peiping, which symbolizes thousands of years of imperial power. Everyone's eyes were focused on the life-and-death battle between the Japanese division and the Japanese garrison in North China...

At this moment, Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief, who were far away in Yan'an, once again gathered in the small war room and began to smoke cigarettes in a cloud of smoke. On the table in front of them, there was a thick

A thick stack of telegrams. As for the specific content of the telegram, it is that intelligence personnel from all over the country have just detected various forces across the country, and even various countries in Europe and the United States, regarding the Japanese division led by ***, marching into Pingjin.

District Thoughts…

"Chairman, I think this battle is a decisive battle for our country to enter the eyes of world leaders and find a certain voice in the world... If we win this battle, let other countries know

This has increased the true strength of our country. To a certain extent, our country has the same right to speak as *** in the international arena..." Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"Militarily speaking, the remaining troops of the Japanese garrison in North China have been firmly trapped in the vast North China area by the other three main divisions of our Eighth Route Army. It is impossible to spare any troops for return reinforcements. The entire North China

The situation is excellent. So, judging from the current situation, as long as Liu Hua is determined to launch an attack on Peiping, and based on the combat effectiveness of the directly affiliated columns and the equipment they are equipped with, there will be absolutely no problem in taking Peiping?" The commander-in-chief looked in front of him.

On the map, the latest layout of the enemy and ourselves was displayed, and he said with confidence...

"It seems that the two of you and this Liu Hua thought of going together... This is the war request telegram sent by Liu Hua just now. They plan to concentrate their forces and attack Peiping, causing trouble for the Japanese army to move eastward... In everyone's eyes, they were all

When they are attracted to Peiping, they will create a secret warehouse for the Japanese army and transport all the hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials that the Japanese army has hoarded at the Tianjin port to the base... Guys, this is hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials. If all of them are used

If the troops are equipped, it will be enough to equip hundreds of thousands of elite troops... If the entire plan can really be implemented, our ***'s strength will be able to make a qualitative leap. By then, we will truly have it in our hands.

With a million-strong army, you can challenge the Japanese army to a showdown with a million-strong army..." The chairman smiled and took out a telegram he had just received. In an angry tone, he faced the two partners who had been with him for more than ten years in front of him.

, replied in the affirmative.

"Chairman, what do you mean, do you agree with the column directly under the *** division to attack Peiping?" After hearing the chairman's words, the faces of the two people immediately turned red, and they replied with excitement. After all, one million

An elite force, something neither of them dared to think about before. However, as long as this battle ends smoothly, this dream will become a reality...

"Yes, not only do we agree with the *** division to fight this battle well, but at the same time, in order to help the *** division successfully complete their strategic vision, our central government must provide certain cooperation. In this way, Enlai, boss. When the time comes, we

In the name of the Central Committee, I wrote an editorial to Xinhua News Agency and vigorously reported and publicized the news that our *** division was going to regain Peiping..." The chairman nodded, and his face became very excited because of what he just said...
