"Chief..." A staff officer who was lying on the table tallying the results suddenly stood up from his chair.
"The results of yesterday's battles for all participating troops have been calculated..."
"With the support of the aviation regiment, our troops destroyed more than 13,000 puppet troops in total..."
"This is data that can be 100% certain after confirming the identity of the corpse and the prisoner..."
"There are still many corpses and wounded soldiers of the Japanese and puppet troops who cannot be counted because they were taken away by the enemy. If these data are included, our victory yesterday would have been at least 15,000 people."
"Because the aviation regiment used a large number of aerial bombs during the battle, many weapons and ammunition equipped by the Japanese and puppet troops were destroyed in the battle, but we still captured 11 mountain field guns, 46 mortars of various calibers, and 38 heavy machine guns.
, 129 light machine guns, more than 5,400 rifles, more than 800,000 rounds of various bullets, more than 3,000 artillery shells of various calibers, and more than 20,000 grenades and grenades."
A combat staff officer standing next to the deputy commander immediately suggested: "Chief..."
"Although all the participating troops continued to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops after dark, because there were no planes in the Central Plains, the combat pressure on the participating troops increased significantly and the attack speed also slowed down."
"The telegram from Peking Airport shows that, excluding the aerial bombs and fuel that have been transported away, there are at least a thousand aerial bombs at Peking Airport."
"I suggest that the aviation regiment be dispatched at dawn tomorrow to continue supporting the frontline troops participating in the war and take the opportunity to eliminate more Japanese and puppet troops."
"It would be better if we could connect all the base areas together and remove all the nails stuck by the Japanese army around our base areas."
"Once the Wing Center troops evacuate the Peiping Airport and the Japanese army reoccupies the airport, transfers aircraft from other places and regains air supremacy on the battlefield, we will not have such a good opportunity to attack."
The deputy commander-in-chief did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "What did the aviation regiment say?"
"Completely implement the command's order..." the combat staff found a telegram report that had just been received.
"It also said: After a day of actual combat, the pilot's flight experience and combat experience have been significantly enhanced."
Hearing this, the hesitant expression on the deputy commander's face was instantly replaced by determination, and he ordered on the spot: "Then we will fight for another day..."
"Immediately call back to the aviation regiment: as soon as daybreak, all the planes left at the Peiping Airport will take off to fight, cover the Eighth Route Army in various places, and eliminate several Japanese and puppet troops."
After saying that, he turned his attention to the Tianjin Pier on the map.
That's where the deputy commander is most worried tonight.
While reading, he asked the combat staff: "Have you not received the telegram from Li Yunlong from Tianjin Pier?"
Seeing the combat staff shaking his head, the deputy commander-in-chief frowned unconsciously, and then replied with a long sigh: "According to Xiao Huang's analysis, Okamura Neiji is likely to second naval ships from the sea off Tianjin to attack the Yizhong Eighth Route Army occupying the dock and destroy it.
Dock Warehouse.”
"Li Yunlong's troops are limited. If they haven't emptied the dock and warehouse yet, and the Japanese naval fleet reaches the sea off Tianjin and attacks the dock and warehouse with naval guns from the sea, the loot that the wing troops finally captured will be lost.
They were all blown up..."
"Although Xiao Huang set up eighty or ninety heavy artillery pieces at Tianjin Pier to protect the spoils of war, the Japanese navy ships are still on the sea after all."
"And the guns on the ship are extremely powerful, with a range far exceeding the heavy artillery they captured."
"If the little devils park the warship outside the effective range of their heavy artillery, even if the little devils use naval guns to blast the dock warehouse, they can only look back and sigh, and there is nothing they can do."
At this point, the deputy commander's already frowning frown deepened.
"Chief..."
An exclamation from the door brought him back to reality. He turned around and saw the telegraph operator running towards him in a hurry, with an excited smile on his face. He knew at a glance that the telegram he was holding was good news.
The deputy commander-in-chief asked expectantly without waiting for the operator to speak: "Is this the telegram sent by Li Yunlong from Tianjin Pier..."
"It's Deputy Commander Li..." the operator reported with a smile on his face.
"Deputy Commander Li and Deputy Chief of Staff Huang jointly sent a telegram... After a bloody battle, they successfully sank two Little Devils ships with heavy artillery and severely damaged one ship..."
"The dock warehouse was not attacked in any way..."
"We will definitely be able to clear out all the supplies, weapons and ammunition stored by the North China Front at the Tianjin dock before dawn."
"They have decided to start transporting the spoils to the base area Zhuan tomorrow. Please prepare all base areas along the line to respond..."
"Very good……"
The deputy commander shouted with excitement, slammed his clenched fist on the table next to him, and then gave orders to the combat staff aside.
"Immediately give underground orders to all those along the southward route of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, and ask them to immediately mobilize civilians, carts, mules and horses, and rush to the highway overnight to stand by to transport the loot..."
After giving the order, the deputy commander completely relaxed.
Slumped down on the chair, ready to relax.
As long as the Yizhong Eighth Route Army successfully empties the dock warehouses and withdraws from the killing range of the Japanese naval fleet, there will be no Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Pingjin area that can threaten the safety of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, and their subsequent transshipment work will become particularly smooth.
Just as he was about to find a place to have a good sleep, the chief of staff suddenly ran in with a very solemn expression. Li Yunlong could not see the joy of defeating the naval fleet at the Tianjin dock.
The deputy commander's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that something big had happened.
The smile on his face instantly solidified, and his expression was replaced by seriousness at the same time. He asked directly: "There should be no Japanese and puppet troops in the Pingjin area that can threaten the Yi Zhong troops... Are the Japanese and puppet troops on other battlefields causing trouble again?"
The chief of staff nodded: "A secret information just came out from Peiping..."
"Okamura Neiji asked the Kwantung Army to borrow troops again..."
"The Kwantung Army has agreed to dispatch three main divisions, a heavy artillery regiment, a tank regiment, and an aviation regiment, to march south to support Pingjin..."
"Li Yunlong and the others must transfer the spoils quickly, otherwise they will be dragged south by the Kwantung Army on the battlefields of Ping and Tianjin."
"The enemy is coming fiercely, with large numbers of troops, well-equipped equipment, and its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the North China Front Army we dealt with before."
"If Li Yunlong and the others were stuck on the Pingjin battlefield and did not return to the base, they would not only lose the trophies they had finally captured, but they might also put themselves in crisis."
"The troops in their hands are almost all the main forces in the Yi Zhong base area, and there must be no accidents."
