After breaking through the defense line of the concession, the next battle went very smoothly, firstly because the soldiers of the concession had no fighting spirit at this time, and secondly, because they crossed the tactical path of the army.

After attacking the concession, the crossing army did not blindly rush up, but took the company as a unit, divided into several roads, and marched together, when attacking, first choose the nearby high point to arrange sniper and machine gun fire points as the support of the whole army, and when the troops broke through, they used a platoon as an arrow, and the other two platoons covered on the left and right respectively, so as to cooperate with the advance, once they found that there was an enemy in the nearby houses, they did not hesitate to shoot a few rockets over, and the houses were blown to pieces, and the people inside only had half a life left even if they did not die. As a result, the crossing army met little strong resistance.

The consuls of various countries had no determination to resist, and when they learned that the defense line had been breached, they immediately hung red and white flags at the door, indicating that this was a residential area and not a military area, and at the same time advised the soldiers who had fled to lay down their arms and not to resist, so as not to harm everyone.

However, the speed of the advance through the army is not fast, after all, it is a battle in the city, you can't rush it, it is better to fight steadily, and when you encounter a demilitarized zone, you will also simply check to see if there are any soldiers and guns hiding in the army, and then leave a small number of soldiers to guard, and merge the nearby small residential areas into large residential areas for easy management.

Therefore, it was not until about one o'clock in the afternoon that the crossing army basically controlled the entire concession, killing a total of 423 enemy soldiers and capturing 535 people, while the crossing army had six casualties, captured more than 500 rifles, two machine guns, and more than 12,000 rounds of ammunition, and also seized 57 steamers and 82 wooden boats at the wharf. Very few people escaped from the concession.

All the people in the concession were concentrated in six large residential areas, namely the French military camp, the Purple Bamboo Forest Church, the British Consulate, Gordon Hall, Swire & Co., Victoria Hospital, and the consulates of other countries. The crossing army sent troops to guard these places.

Seeing that the concession was finally controlled, Qin Yuhai also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately reported the results of the battle to the Dagukou Command, and at the same time conducted further searches in the concession, on the one hand, to find out if there were any fish that had slipped through the net, and on the other hand, to seal up all the warehouses, foreign firms, shops, and factories in the concession, and wait for the Provisional Executive Committee to send someone to deal with it. At the same time, the number of people in each residential area is counted.

In this way, after an afternoon of searching in the concession, more than 300 people and 26 rifles were found. According to statistics, the population in the concession area is 13,887; there are 4,915 foreigners, including 3,976 men and 939 women, a total of 11 countries including Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the United States, Italy, Austria, Portugal, and Spain; while the number of Chinese is 9,072, with 6,431 men and 2,541 women.

The total area of the British and French concessions is more than 3,000 acres, but the population is less than 14,000 people, and it should be said that the place is quite relaxed. Of the 23 houses damaged in the battle, nine of them were seriously damaged and could no longer be used, while the other 14 were not so damaged that they could be reused if they were repaired. On the whole, the damage to the buildings in the concession was not serious, and the tasks assigned by the Central Military Commission were basically completed.

At this time, it was already late, and Qin Yuhai also received a communication from Dagukou, and early tomorrow morning, Dagukou would send someone to take over the management of the concession and Tianjin City.

And Qin Yuhai joined forces with Qiu Yahui, who stayed in Tianjin City, and Tianjin City was basically safe, so Qin Yuhai decided to spend the night in the concession that night, and also take good care of the people who guarded the supervision.

At eight o'clock the next morning, I saw a white steamer sailing along the Haihe River and arriving at the dock of the British Concession in Tianjin. Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao were the leaders and got off the steamer.

Qin Yuhai was also a little surprised, although he received a communication from the headquarters yesterday that someone would rush to Tianjin today to take over Tianjin's management affairs, but he didn't expect that it would be Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao, and three of the five executive committee members would come at once.

It turned out that he received a report from Qin Yuhai yesterday afternoon that Tianjin City and the concession area had been captured by the army. By this time, the Battle of Tianjin was completely over, and a complete victory was achieved by defeating the Japanese army attacking Dagukou with the crossing army, conquering the city of Tianjin, and occupying the concession of Tianjin.

According to the statistics of each battlefield, in this battle, a total of 3,786 enemy troops were annihilated, 1,074 enemy soldiers were captured, and the Japanese army accounted for the vast majority of the enemy prisoners, but the prisoners only counted the soldiers in the concession and did not include the residents in the concession, and a total of 3,116 rifles of various kinds, more than 60,000 rounds of ammunition, 4 machine guns, six artillery pieces, more than 60 donkeys and horses, more than 20 cars, 18 wooden boats, grain tents and other military materials were captured on the battlefield.

Although the materials seized in Tianjin City and the concession area have not yet been counted, according to the report, the materials in Tianjin City and the concession area are very abundant, and they can fully supply the development needs of the crossing group for a considerable period of time in the future. And after having a material base, it is much easier to formulate a development plan in the next step. Therefore, the provisional executive committee of Dagukou immediately called a meeting to discuss how to take over Tianjin and develop its own strength, because this was the first large city captured by the crossing army, and it was also the only foothold at present, so naturally it did not dare to be careless.

Although there are still some people in the Interim Executive Committee who have some administrative experience, these experiences have been gained in modern society, and no one knows whether they can be applied to this era, after all, although there is only a difference of more than 100 years in time, the social form has undergone earth-shaking changes. We must not rigidly apply the management experience of modern society to this era. Therefore, it is necessary to go to Tianjin to understand the situation before what kind of management measures are used, after all, there is no right to speak without investigation.

In addition, although the Provisional Executive Committee had already made a decision to move the center of the Crossing Group to Tianjin before the launch of the Tianjin Campaign. But this relocation is not overnight, it is impossible to move everyone or most of the people to Tianjin at once, not to mention anything else, at least accommodation is an unsolvable problem, because Wei is now in Dagukou, in addition to the army, the rest of the crossing personnel are basically still living in three passenger ro-ro boats. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to send some people to Tianjin to fight the front station first and prepare for the relocation of the brigade.

The final result of the discussion was that Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao led the team, as well as executive committee members Shang Qisong, Jiang Shiwei, and Li Sanjie, and alternate executive committee members Li Songchen, Wang Sheng, You Mingqian, Ren Wendian, Wang Jun, An Xiangui, and Lu Hong, totaling 10 people.

Qin Zheng can command and mobilize the army on behalf of the military, while Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao are both government officials and have considerable experience in administrative management; among the 12 executive committee members, seven are captains of various ships, and of course they cannot move, while Zhang Yuming and Jia Zhenzhao are now in charge of the work of the personnel department and the technical department, and they cannot leave; only Shang Qisong, Jiang Shiwei, and Li Sanjie are fine; and in addition to military personnel, Zeng Dong and Jia Wenbo are now assisting Zhang Yuming and Zhang Yuming respectively. Jia Zhenzhao worked on the two of them, and the captains of the three ro-ro passenger ships could not leave, so it can be said that all the people who could move the place were sent to Tianjin. After all, there are not many things to do in Dagukou, and it is useless for these people to stay in Dagukou, so it is better to go to Tianjin first, familiarize themselves with the situation as soon as possible, and carry out their work.

At the same time, a medical team of 12 people was rushed to Tianjin, a company was drawn from the reserve army, and 200 people were selected from the released personnel at Dagukou. Although the main purpose of going to Tianjin this time is to investigate, it is not that I don't do things, so I send more people to do things, and when I do things, I also have enough manpower.

The people who were released from Dagukou were shocked to learn that the crossing army had achieved a complete victory, and that they had also captured Tianjin and the concession area, and at the same time, they were even more desperately worshipful of the crossing group, and it can be said that it was only at this time that these people fully believed that the crossing group could defeat the foreigners and protect themselves, and it could be regarded as a complete naturalization. Therefore, when it came to sending a group of people from among them to Tianjin, they all signed up one after another, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao took the executive committee, alternate executive members, and the medical team to Tianjin by water in a 318 boat, and at the same time inspected the hydrological conditions of the Haihe River along the way, so as to prepare for the opening of the Haihe River in the future, and also loaded some equipment on the boat.

The reserve army and naturalized personnel will take the land route to Tianjin, from Dagukou to Tianjin to there is a road, and by the standards of this era, this road is still considered to be at the upper middle level, but for the traverser, this road must meet the standard of being able to walk the car, after all, from Dagukou to Tianjin in the future, it must be through the car, so this march is also to examine the situation of this road, for which two engineers were specially found from the traverser to accompany him.

Although there is no engineering task of building roads in the crossing group, the construction of power plants and shipyards is a construction project covering a large area, and there are also considerable scale roads in the factory area, among which the main road is also required to reach the technical level of the secondary road, so there is a special road construction team in the crossing group, with two senior engineers and five engineers, and the technical engineering is responsible, which can also come in handy this time.

So at seven o'clock the next morning, the two teams set off from Dagukou at the same time, and marched to Tianjin by land and water.
