Just when Luo Yue led the troops to attack the bell tower, the attacks of the troops on the other two roads were also progressing very smoothly, because there were not many Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate, and the troops were not superior, and the crossing army was divided into two ways to attack from the city wall, and the defenders' geographical advantage was also lost. Therefore, the defenders of the north and south gates were soon killed and wounded by the crossing army, and they fled one after another, and the towers of the north and south gates were naturally occupied by the crossing army.

The battle of the surprise attack on Tianjin City went very smoothly, and three of the four gates of Tianjin City had been captured in succession, and the commander Qiu Yahui was also very happy, but now there was still the East Gate that had not been taken, but at this time all the troops were sent out, and Qiu Yahui only had two machine gun squads left around him, and then the company headquarters, so he really couldn't send anyone.

But fortunately, the north and south gates and the bell and drum towers have been taken down, so the three sides can be sent troops to attack the east gate, Qiu Yahui is also considering that the army should be sent to that side, from Qiu Yahui's heart, of course, he wants to send Luo Yue's platoon to attack the east gate, a row of sharp knives worthy of the name, the strongest combat effectiveness, and the bell and drum tower is located in the center of Tianjin City, now the south and northwest three gates are in the hands of the army, only the army of the bell and drum tower can be mobilized. But it is not possible to leave a single soldier in the Bell and Drum Tower to guard it, so should a machine gun squad from Luo Yue's troops stay in the Bell and Drum Tower, or should some troops be transferred from the other two gates to guard the Bell and Drum Tower?

But at this moment, Qiu Yahui received a communication from a platoon of the company stationed outside the city, they encountered reinforcements sent by the Tianjin Concession, and were trying their best to block it, but the number of reinforcements was too large, which caused a lot of pressure on the troops, so they hoped to send an additional platoon of troops.

It turned out that the sound of gunfire and explosions in Tianjin City had been resounded, and the sound had been transmitted to the Japanese and French Concessions, which were closer to Tianjin City, and the people in the Concessions did not dare to be careless, because when the Boxers were in their heyday, they had attacked the Tianjin Concession on a large scale. Laolongtou and other places, and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army launched a very fierce battle, almost about to attack the Tianjin concession, which also caused great panic to the foreigners in the concession, now less than two months have passed, the foreigners in the concession are still apprehensive, until now the temporary fortifications guarding the concession have not been demolished, so as soon as they heard the gunshots, they immediately became nervous, thinking that the Boxers were coming again.

And the consuls of the various countries in the concession did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly gathered the troops guarding the concession and prepared for battle. At this time, the rescue of the Japanese soldiers rushed to the concession, the city of Tianjin was attacked, the west gate has been breached, and now the enemy is attacking the bell and drum tower, the south gate, and the north gate. Please send reinforcements to the concession. Of course, when they left Tianjin City, they did not know that the Bell and Drum Tower had been lost, nor did they know who the enemy was and how many troops they had.

Of course, the consuls of various countries did not understand what was going on, but still thought that the Boxers had come back, and immediately launched urgent consultations, and agreed that they should go to reinforce the city of Tianjin. Because once the enemy army occupies the city of Tianjin, it will definitely attack the concession again, so it is better to block the enemy army in the city of Tianjin, so as to ensure the safety of the concession.

There were about 800 guards in the concessions of various countries, and when the Boxers attacked the Tianjin Concession, young men, men, and even women from all over the country living in the concessions also participated in the battle, adding up to six or seven hundred, so the number of people guarding the concession was not bad. So the consuls of various countries discussed and decided to send 400 troops to reinforce the city of Tianjin, and the commander of the team was Colonel Bauer, an Englishman among the three members of the provisional government of the Tianjin area.

It turned out that in the past few days, Colonel Bauer met a beautiful French noblewoman named Josephine in the concession, her husband was a businessman, who was unfortunately killed in the battle two months ago, leaving behind a chaotic company, and Colonel Bauer had a little friendship with Mr. Josephine, so he helped Mrs. Josephine successfully stabilize the company, and obtained the company's legal personality, Mrs. Josephine was naturally very grateful to Colonel Bauer, plus the loss of her husband's mail, the two fell in love for a long time, and finally out of control.

Later, Colonel Bauer was appointed as a member of the provisional government of the provisional government of Tianjin, and lived in the city of Tianjin, but every few days he had to go to the concession to have a tryst with Mrs. Josephine, of course, Colonel Bauer also used his power to help Mrs. Josephine pull two big deals, Mrs. Josephine was naturally even more grateful, not only gave Colonel Bauer a lot of commission, but also more enthusiastic and unrestrained when the two had a tryst, which also allowed Colonel Bauer to fully experience the romantic feelings of a French woman.

Tonight, Colonel Bauer came to the concession to have a tryst with Mrs. Josephine, so he was not in Tianjin, and now the concession has decided to send troops to reinforce the city of Tianjin, and Colonel Bauer is naturally the best choice for commander.

Of course, Colonel Bauer did not shirk, he was a member of the provisional government of the provisional government of Tianjin, and he could not excuse himself for the loss of Tianjin. When the troops were dispatched, Colonel Bauer decided to march from the south gate, because he heard from the rescue soldiers that the west gate of Tianjin City had been broken through by the enemy, and now the enemy was attacking the Bell and Drum Tower and the north and south gates at the same time.

Colonel Bauer believes that the east gate is now fine, and the closest to the concession is the south gate. Therefore, it is necessary to march from the south gate, and if the enemy army has not yet broken through the south gate, you can attack from behind the enemy army and break the enemy army in one fell swoop. If the enemy has broken through the south gate, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the bell and drum tower, and will not leave too many people to guard the south gate, so they can recapture the south gate, and then reinforce the bell and drum tower, which can turn the tide of the battle in Tianjin.

But the situation went to a great surprise to Colonel Bauer, when the reinforcements went to the vicinity of Haiguang Temple, they were attacked, and more than 20 people were killed at once, Colonel Bauer hurriedly commanded the army to fight, and after the initial panic, the reinforcements gradually stabilized, and the war also entered a stalemate.

However, the crossing army that blocked the attack was only a platoon of troops, and the number was too small, so it was also very difficult to fight, although it was able to avoid holding the position, but the consumption of ammunition was very large, so he came to Qiu Yahui's rescue.

After receiving the communication for help, Qiu Yahui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because now there is still the East Gate in Tianjin City that has not been captured, and he has no available troops at hand, and the only ones that can be dispatched are two warrior vehicles and a Z-9 helicopter. These two weapons cannot be used until the time of construction, and since they are straight 9, they are almost equivalent to strategic weapons and cannot be used lightly. But now in the situation on the battlefield, these two weapons must be used.

Just when Qiu Yahui was about to give an order, a voice came from the earphones again, it turned out that the reserve troops sent by the command headquarters arrived in three straight 8F helicopters, asking Qiu Yahui to provide guidance on the ground so that the helicopter could land, and the sound of propeller rotation also sounded in the sky.

Qiu Yahui couldn't help but be overjoyed, this batch of reserve troops can be said to have come at a really good time, and the problem of insufficient troops can be solved. So Qiu Yahui immediately sent several soldiers to guide the helicopter to land with fluorescent lights in the open space outside the city.

Three straight 8F helicopters landed steadily outside the city, and before the helicopter could stop, the tailgate opened, and I saw a somewhat rich figure running down from the first helicopter, and came to Qiu Yahui and saluted: "Fang Bin, the combat reserve team, is ordered by the command headquarters to report and ask Company Commander Qiu for instructions." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one person from the other two helicopters also came over and saluted Qiu Yahui, and it turned out that these two people were Li Juntao and Wang Banglin, the squad leaders of the gun and electric squads on the Kunming and Yueyang ships.

In fact, the military ranks of these three people are higher than Qiu Yahui, and Qiu Yahui should have saluted them first, but Fang Bin has a rank but no position, Li Juntao and Wang Banglin are both officers of the navy, and on this battlefield, they are only the captains of the reserve forces, and the supreme commander is Qiu Yahui, so they took the initiative to salute Qiu Yahui. By this time, the soldiers on the three helicopters had all disembarked and lined up in a line, a total of one hundred and twenty people, and although they were not combat troops, they still moved very quickly.

At this time, Qiu Yahui did not have time to be polite to them, and immediately ordered Li Juntao to lead forty soldiers to guard the west gate of Tianjin, transfer a machine gun squad to guard the bell and drum tower, and order Luo Yue to continue to attack the east gate of Tianjin. And he personally took the company headquarters and other eighty soldiers, plus two warrior vehicles to reinforce the blocking troops, and the Z-9 was still monitoring the entire battlefield from the air.

After the order was issued, Qiu Yahui immediately led the troops to set off, and the two warrior chariots also drove out of the city gate cave, leading the way in front of the team, and the soldiers all trotted forward, following behind the two warrior chariots, along the city wall of Tianjin City, and rushed in the direction of Haiguang Temple.

About ten minutes later, the troops moved to the south of Tianjin City, and no one was left behind, including the reserve troops, and at this time a dense gunfire could be heard from a distance, obviously a fierce battle between the blocking troops and the reinforcements of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The helicopter monitoring the battle situation from the air told Qiu Yahui that they were now about 1,500 meters away from the battlefield.

At this time, Qiu Yahui didn't dare to be careless, and Bi Jing also knew that what he was bringing now was not a combat unit, but a reserve force, and their combat effectiveness could not be measured by combat troops, but there was really no one available, and they could only avoid being forced into battle. He immediately ordered the troops to disperse in battle formation, and to slow down the pace of their advance, so as not to alarm the enemy as much as possible to approach the battlefield, and at the same time ordered two warrior vehicles to make a detour to the rear of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army under the guidance of helicopters to launch a sortie against the Eight-Nation Coalition Army first.
