Chapter four hundred and sixty seventh surprise attack on Tianjin city
Chapter 467: Surprise Attack on Tianjin City
"Bagya Road, it must be a small group of the Eighth Route Army, who once again attacked our port, hoping to destroy the large amount of military supplies our army had hoarded at the port. We ordered the fleet to return to the rescue immediately. This time, I must send these abominable
All the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops have been wiped out, and all the ships in the Bagya Road fleet will return immediately to support the port." Commander Lieutenant Colonel put down the telescope in his hand and ordered with a serious face.
"Hi, Commander, I will issue an order to return home immediately..." Immediately, a whistle sounded on the sea. Several patrol gunboats that had received the order immediately gathered next to the warship. Following the huge warship, they slowly
Slowly began to turn, and quickly sent reinforcements to the port that was already in a sea of fire a few kilometers away...
In almost ten minutes, a warship with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons and four gunboats came to a stop less than 500 meters away from the port berth. As the commander of the entire fleet, Commander Lieutenant Commander,
He also rushed out of the command room immediately, came to the highest point of the warship, raised the telescope in his hand, and began to observe the situation at the dock.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army sneak attacker, has destroyed more than a dozen gunboats. This is simply a shame for us. I must cut them all into pieces. Baga Road..." From the highest point of the warship,
Looking at the dozen or so gunboats burning with blazing fire on the port berth. Commander Lieutenant Commander once again clenched his fists, staring at the blazing gunboats with his eyes, almost spitting out fire, pointing at the side.
The adjutant scolded...
"Your Excellency, Commander, although the gunboat was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack force, there is still a fierce battle in the port. Judging from the current situation, all the commanding heights of the port have been occupied by our enemies, and there are a large number of enemies.
, are besieging our barracks... All the troops of the enemy and ours are engaging in fierce exchanges of fire around our barracks..." Listening to the sound of gunfire like exploding beans, looking at the bright port illuminated by raging fire a few hundred meters away
The adjutant standing next to the commander, holding a telescope, frowned and answered.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army sneak attackers, how did they evade our patrols and how did they get to the dock? On Baga Road, after driving away the enemies at the port, I will definitely send the Army troops on duty tonight
The commander’s corpse was cut into thousands of pieces. Eight square teeth?” Commander Lieutenant Colonel continued to curse.
"Hi, Commander. There is a fierce battle at the port right now. The imperial soldiers in the barracks basically don't have any heavy weapons. It will be a matter of time before they are attacked by the enemy. So, Commander, I suggest that we fire on the Eighth Route Army immediately.
, the imperial warriors who reinforce the port must resolutely repel the enemy's attack..." the adjutant suggested in a low voice.
"Baga, absolutely not, absolutely can't fire artillery. Don't you know that our army has stockpiled hundreds of thousands of tons of various strategic materials at the port. It's dark now, and it's impossible to see the specific artillery target. If a shot
If the artillery shell misses, it may cause dozens of tons of strategic materials at the port to be instantly reduced to ashes. Therefore, we must wait until dawn before we can provide precise fire support to the imperial troops at the port..." The commander did not
He put down the telescope in his hand and without even thinking about it, he firmly denied it...
"Hi, Commander, you are a wise man, but you are not considerate of your humble position. However, Commander, there are only about 500 imperial troops in the entire port, and almost half of the troops are naval personnel with little combat effectiveness.
I wonder if they can hold on until dawn under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army..." Although the adjutant agreed with the commander's answer, he still had a look on his face when he heard the fierce gunfire coming from not far away.
He replied worriedly.
"Yo Xi, don't worry. Although we cannot provide fire support to the port. However, I believe that Tianjin City, which is less than two kilometers away from the port, must have sent a large number of reinforcements after hearing the explosion at the port.
Troops. If nothing else goes wrong, these reinforcements are now rushing towards the port. Yours, please immediately send a report to the Supreme Commander of Tianjin City and ask them how long it has been since the reinforcements at the port were set off. Go immediately
Send the report..." The commander smiled and said with certainty.
"Hi, Commander, I will send the report right away..." After saying that, the adjutant drove to the highest point of the warship and ran towards the command room not far away...
At this moment, when the first explosion sounded at the port, the little Japanese stationed in Tianjin City, the entire city entered a state of martial law in the shortest possible time. Even the top commander of the Japanese army stationed in Tianjin City
The official also immediately boarded the city wall, held up his telescope, and began to carefully observe the bright Tianjin Port two kilometers away, which was already illuminated by a sea of fire.
"Baga, the port must have been attacked by the Chinese. Hundreds of thousands of tons of various strategic materials have been stored in the port, and there must not be any losses. Now I order the first and second squadrons of the garrison brigade to assemble immediately, and the garrison brigade will
The captain gave command to immediately reinforce the port and eliminate all the Eighth Route Army troops involved in the sneak attack. Start taking action now..." Looking at the burning port, the face of the top commander of the Japanese army in Tianjin immediately turned pale. Then, facing
The adjutant next to him ordered with an urgent look on his face...
Because he knows that hundreds of thousands of tons of various strategic materials are stored at the port. If they are attacked by the Eighth Route Army and suffer even a little loss, then as the supreme commander of Tianjin, he will also be criticized by his superiors. When the time comes, he will wait for his
You don't have to guess what the result will be. You must apologize to His Majesty the Emperor in person... After all, hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials are very important to various resource-poor empires...
"Hi, Commander, I will go and convey the order right away. The First Squadron and the Second Squadron will leave the city immediately, reinforce the port, and eliminate all the sneak attackers..." the adjutant replied loudly, turned around and rushed down the city wall... In less than a minute,
Within minutes, almost 500 Japs were assembled. Under the personal leadership of a major captain, they quickly rushed out of the city gate and two kilometers away, they were already immersed in a sea of fire, and intensive gunshots were heard.
The port ran over...
However, just as the Japanese reinforcements were leaving the city, on the only way from Tianjin City to the port, two main battalions, one and two, of the Guard Brigade Regiment, with nearly a thousand soldiers, were being deployed under the personal command of the regiment leader Huang Zhengqing.
I picked up a little Jaap that could hold two infantry squadrons, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese army.
The remaining infantry battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment and the more than 200 members of the Second Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade were very covertly lurking less than 200 meters away from the city gate, quietly waiting for a sneak attack on the county seat.
The perfect time to…
"Captain, the soldiers from the two squadrons of the Japanese army are rushing towards our ambush position quickly. In addition, the Japanese reinforcements do not carry any heavy weapons. Our two main battalions are fully capable of doing so within an hour.
Within the time limit, eliminate all the little Japs and end the battle..." A battalion commander quietly came to the regiment leader's side and reported in a low voice...
"Well, who said I want to annihilate all these little Japs... order the troops not to block the little Japs' escape route after the battle begins. The key to this ambush is to defeat the little Japs. Conduct a large number of these little Japs
After killing them, let them return to the city!" Huang Zhengqing glanced at the confident-looking battalion commander in front of him and said with certainty.
"Ah, Commander, did I hear you right? Let the remaining soldiers of the little Japs return to the city. Our troops are more than twice as strong as the little Japs, and our firepower is much stronger than theirs. Why not wipe them all out and let them go?
If you return to the city, won't it increase the strength of the troops defending the city and feed the tigers?" Just when the first battalion commander showed a look of confusion on his face, the second battalion commander also looked incredulous and faced the regiment in front of him.
Chang asked in disbelief.
"Captain Wang, Commander Zhang, you have forgotten the mission of our First Guard Regiment. Our mission is to capture and occupy Tianjin City in the shortest possible time. However, at this moment, the entire Tianjin City is under martial law.
, not even our special operations brigade can seize the city gate quietly. Even if we wipe out all these five hundred little Japs, what effect will it have on us seizing the city gate?" Huang Zhengqing asked,
A cold and evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
"Captain, what you mean is that we find a way to follow the retreating Japanese army. When the Japanese army enters the city, we sneak into the city gate. Then, we quickly occupy the entire city gate and cover the main force as they rush into Tianjin...
"The battalion commander reacted immediately.
"Yes, that's what it means. This is the only way for us to enter Tianjin City at the earliest possible time when the Japanese army is under full martial law... Therefore, when the time comes, we must not block the escape route of the little devils. Then we will deal with these
The little devils, after causing a lot of damage, forced them to break out and retreat..." Huang Zhengqing nodded and said.
"Yes, Commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission... No, Commander, the little devil is here..." A cry of surprise rang out, and the leader Huang Zhengqing quickly raised the telescope in his hand. Sure enough, holding the torch,
The leading troops of the little devils in the long dragon have entered the ambush circle carefully arranged for them. The entire long dragon is quickly getting into its ambush circle without any scruples, completely unaware that on both sides of them,
There are countless dark gun muzzles pointing at their figures...
"Bang...tatada..." Just as hundreds of little Japs were accompanying their orderly queues, and their respective commanders were panting as they rushed to the port for reinforcements, a burst of popping beans suddenly sounded beside them.
The sound of gunshots. Immediately afterwards, countless tongues of fire suddenly emerged from both sides of the road, in the dark night...The flying bullets, with a trace of red flame, were like rain, and they shot towards the target quickly.
The little devil marching quickly on the road...
"Ah... Baga, it's an enemy attack... Get down now, get down..." The soldiers fired in the first round of concentrated fire. Although the bullets were very dense, the little devils guarding Tianjin City were, after all, the Japanese garrison in North China.
Among the army, the most elite field troops...the reaction speed of these battle-hardened veterans can be said to be very fast...after being intensively attacked by dozens of light and heavy machine guns and 9 anti-aircraft machine guns, there were only less than two hundred
The soldier fell on the road. The remaining soldiers quickly threw away the torches in their hands and quickly lay down in the grass on both sides of the road, preparing to fight back...
"Machine gunner, fire immediately, be sure to suppress the enemy's firepower...Grenade, launch grenades quickly to destroy the enemy's heavy firepower points..." Faced with the sudden and intensive attack, although the troops lost more than one-third. However,
The little Japanese commanders at all levels did not show any confusion because of this. Instead, they ran back and forth on the messy road, constantly issuing the latest combat orders to the soldiers around them...
In an instant, the little Japs, who had been in chaos for less than half a minute, immediately organized effective counterattacks under the command of commanders at all levels. More importantly, grenadier soldiers with rich combat experience were only the first to
One round of shooting destroyed four surrounding Eighth Route Army firepower points...
"Yo Xi, keep firing with the grenades. We must kill all the heavy firepower points of the Eighth Route Army... Machine gunners, suppress the enemy's riflemen, infantry, be ready to charge. Today, we are going to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.
All the Eighth Route Army troops who dared to ambush us were wiped out..." Seeing the results of the first round of firing from the grenade, the captain of the group, the Major, couldn't help feeling excited and ordered with a confident look on his face.
However, just as he finished speaking, the sound of a burst of "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove" sound was heard.
His face immediately turned pale: "Baga, it's a mortar. The Eighth Route Army's shelling. Hurry and take cover..."
"Boom, boom, boom..." Before he could finish his sentence, nine shells lined up in a row hit the group of little devils accurately, causing a series of explosions. Along with the nine orange-red shells
A fireball rose on the road, and dozens of unlucky little devils immediately fell into a pool of blood and turned into limp corpses...
"Baga, how come the Eighth Route Army has mortars? Who can tell me how many Eighth Route Army troops are around us, Baga Road?" He looked at the tragic scene after the explosion of a round of artillery shells behind him.
The captain clenched his fists and asked an adjutant beside him with angry eyes.
"Hi, captain, according to observation, there are at least two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army troops around us. Moreover, these Eighth Route Army troops are not only equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, but also carry an artillery battery of mortars...
Captain, I suggest that we retreat immediately. Otherwise, our two infantry squadrons, under such a fierce blow from the Eighth Route Army, will be completely destroyed if they persist for half an hour at most..." Seeing the explosion of the second round of artillery shells
, once again took away the lives of dozens of imperial soldiers, the adjutant beside the captain quickly reminded him...
"Nani, retreat? However, the mission given to us by the Commander is to reinforce the port. We have not reached Kangkou yet because we encountered an ambush by the Eighth Route Army and retreated hastily... Even if we can retreat safely, I think Commander
Your Excellency will not forgive us..." Regarding the adjutant's suggestion, the captain slowly fell into deep thought and said...
"Captain, if nothing else happens, your Excellency, Commander, must be on the city wall at this moment, seeing the situation our army is facing... I think that even if we retreat, it is to preserve the limited imperial troops in Tianjin City, Commander
Hanging up will definitely not trigger us. In addition, the road leading to the port has been completely cut off by the Eighth Route Army, and behind us, the Eighth Route Army's firepower has not yet been found. If we cannot retreat immediately, I believe that what is waiting for us
The whole army must have been destroyed..." Looking at the increasingly bad situation around him, the adjutant continued to persuade him earnestly...
After listening to the adjutant's words, the captain did not answer immediately like he just did, but slowly fell into deep thought. At the same time, a pair of eyes began to scan the surrounding situation... Sure enough, the surrounding enemy situation was as the adjutant said.
On the way to the port, the Eighth Route Army has deployed a large number of troops and heavy firepower. At this moment, there are only more than two hundred people left, and they cannot rush through it no matter what... And behind me, there is a road leading to the port.
The highways in Tianjin City may be because the Eighth Route Army has not returned to their positions in a roundabout way, or perhaps because they are short of troops. In short, behind him, on the road leading to Tianjin City, no Eighth Route Army figure has been found yet.
…
"Yoshi, time has not waited for me. In order to preserve the effectiveness of the Imperial Army of Japan and strengthen the strength of the city defense forces, I now order the troops to retreat immediately. All machine gunners are responsible for covering and the rifle handles are used to retreat... Hurry, all troops will retreat immediately.
Carry out a retreat and return to Tianjin City in the shortest possible time..." In less than a minute, a determined look appeared on the captain's face, and he ordered the adjutant next to him with determination.
"Hi, your Excellency the captain is wise...the machine gunners continued to shoot, the riflemen immediately retreated, broke out of the Eighth Route Army's ambush circle, and retreated to the county...quickly, retreat immediately..." Hearing the captain's order to retreat, the adjutant couldn't help but
He breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his voice and shouted an order to the already chaotic battlefield.
As the adjutant's order was quickly conveyed to the ears of every Japanese soldier. On this short road, except for a dozen machine gunners with a look of despair on their faces, they continued to shoot.
The infantrymen below climbed up from the ground one after another, bent over, and under the command of commanders at all levels, while dodging flying bullets, they retreated quickly...
