Chapter 1006: Beach Landing Battle (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

In charge of the defense of the port of Tianjin was the captain of the Japanese Marine Corps, Jiro Ueno, and although Jiro Ueno was born in the Marine Corps, the soldiers under his command were not only such as the Marine Corps. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the port of Tianjin is one of the few natural and excellent seaports in North China, the Japanese army regarded this place as a distribution center for materials, and all the materials plundered from the occupied areas were concentrated here, and all the strategic materials transported from Japan were transported from here to various battlefields, so the importance of Tianjin was not worse than that of Beiping.

Because of this, the defense of the entire Tianjin port is one of the most important defense work of the entire Tianjin city.

The Japanese army also did a good job of defending the port of Tianjin, although there was only one brigade of guards here, but in fact there were a full 2,500 regular Japanese troops stationed here. In addition to the elite of a thousand marines, there is a full-fledged infantry brigade and a military police of more than 300 men.

At this time, Ueno was in an extremely bad mood, and like Lieutenant General Tanaka, the unfavorable news of the battle outside the city seriously affected Ueno, a pure nationalist.

In Ueno's view, these stupid armies were simply wasting the precious military funds of the Empire, and if all the armies were to be cut and a large number of marines were formed, how could a peasant army in China compete with the great Japanese Empire, and the performance of the army was really blushing.

Looking at the order just sent, Ueno had a nameless anger and scolded Tanaka for being a stupid pig. Twenty or thirty thousand people were beaten by the Chinese troops in less than a day, and even began to ask his coastal defense troops to reinforce them.

But anger is anger, and Ueno still knows a little about Lieutenant General Tanaka, and knows that Tanaka is not a person without purpose. It must have been that the firepower of the Chinese army was indeed too fierce, and the troops defending the city were about to be unable to hold it before they let his marines take it.

It's only been a long time since the war started, and it's obviously not that Tanaka has no troops in his hands, which can only show that the attack of the people of China is far sharper than that of ordinary troops, and their marines just want to deal a hard blow to the arrogance of the people of China and block the momentum of the advance of the people of China.

Therefore, although he was very reluctant, Ueno still ordered the marines to immediately rush to Xicheng District to garrison and deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the people of Shina.

Ueno Osa judged very correctly, Tanaka Nobuyong did have reserves in his hands, and there were quite a few of them, but according to the battle reports from the front, even if the reserves of more than 10,000 people were all sent out, it would not be of much use, and the Eighth Route Army was pouring in like a tide, and it was impossible to kill.

Defeat one but there are more people in the back, and the defenders in Tianjin City, the Imperial Cooperative Army, account for the largest proportion, so in this case, many Imperial Cooperative troops not only do not shoot, but also turn against each other when they are in a hurry.

Two hours ago, due to the rough attitude of the Japanese commander on the front line, he ordered an infantry regiment of the Imperial Allied Army to act as cannon fodder, which eventually caused the collective resistance of the infantry regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, which in turn caused the collective rebellion of an infantry division of the Imperial Allied Army in Xicheng District.

And the Eighth Route Army's offensive strength and advance speed are also amazing, if you don't kill the majesty of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that you can't suppress these Imperial Cooperative Army, I'm afraid that even those recruits under your command will surrender to the Eighth Route Army at that time, so Tanaka Nobuyong had to order Ueno's army special forces to enter the second line of defense in Xicheng District to block the Eighth Route Army.

Because both sides were determined to die, the battle was extremely fierce, and both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy losses.

Although the vast majority of the Japanese troops defending the city were not the elite of the Japanese army, they still caused huge casualties to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters with their strong fortifications and strong firepower.

Of course, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 themselves, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese army did not have a good time. In just one day, Xu Hu's headquarters took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the internal strife of the Japanese puppet army to attack Tianjin City, directly tearing a huge gap in the complete defense system of Tianjin City.

However, Tanaka Nobuyong was also an outlaw, and immediately commanded his troops to launch a brave counterattack, especially with the use of elite marines.

After Tanaka Nobuyong's order was given, Ueno Shaosa did not dare to slack off, and a complete marine corps was quickly assembled, and under the leadership of the deputy captain Nagato Kojiro, it headed towards Tianjin Xicheng.

But just half an hour after Nagato Kojiro left, a large number of ships appeared at the place where the sea and the sky met in the distance on the coast of Tianjin. Although the few small gunboats in charge of coastal patrol quickly discovered the anomaly, in the face of the huge number, a few small gunboats could hardly play any role.

Heavy machine guns and mortars mounted on the bows of merchant ships of all sizes were overwhelming, and the small gunboats were different from the large warships in that they had thick steel plates, and the Japanese small gunboats were completely annihilated in the face of the huge firepower of the first brigade with almost no resistance.

However, those small gunboats still played a certain role, at least alerting the Japanese troops on the shore, with the warning of those small gunboats, the Japanese coastal defense troops quickly reacted, and for a while, the calm dock was full of figures shaking.

And the Eighth Route Army was not polite, although the fleet was still a short distance from the coast, but the mortars standing in the bow could not wait to fire on the shore. Although the landing point of the shells was very inaccurate due to the turbulence of the waves, the number of mortars could not withstand the large base, so the coast was soon covered with artillery fire.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was evading the bombing, Commander Yun Hao ordered the troops to hurry up the time to land on the beach. Since the troops were transported by small fishing boats, these boats were able to sail in the shallows, and some even washed straight onto the beach under the guidance of the fighters.

After the Japanese army occupied Tianjin, it spared no effort to strengthen the fortifications of Tianjin, among which the coastal protection project was the focus of the Japanese army's reinforcement. Like the coastal fortifications of other countries in the world, the coastal fortifications of the port of Tianjin are also composed of bunkers and trenches.

Just as Yun Hao's troops rushed to the beach, the defenders of Tianjin City began to attack the troops who grabbed the beach, regardless of the artillery fire flying everywhere in the sky.

"Da Da Da..."

"Da Da Da..."

The bunkers built on the beach poured steel ammunition towards Yun Hao's headquarters, and the soldiers who rushed to the beach fell to the ground one by one, while more soldiers continued to advance on the corpses of their comrades.

Finally, after a company of infantry sacrificed enormously, the large force finally gained a foothold on the beach, and used the corpses of its comrades to build a simple defensive position to attack the Japanese troops hiding in the bunkers.

Then more soldiers rushed ashore, and all of them formed simple positions in front of the Japanese pillbox positions. However, no matter how many troops came from the Eighth Route Army, they could not get close to within 50 meters of the Japanese pillbox group, and the Japanese crossfire almost did not have any color to hit the dead end, as long as it was exposed to their shooting sight, anyone would be knocked down by them at the first time.

For a time, the beach-rushing landing was seriously blocked, and the two sides were at a stalemate along the beach.

Yun Hao saw that the battle in front of him was not going well, and he was immediately anxious, he knew very well how serious the consequences would be if the troops could not land within half an hour.

Now that the gunfire has sounded, and the landing on the beach has exposed the target, the Japanese troops in the city will definitely return to the coast. In addition, the two warships in the distant sea will also return to port as soon as they receive the order. At that time, with these more than 100 small fishing boats, how could they be the opponents of the Japanese army, and more than 1,000 of them would be driven into the sea by the Japanese army to feed the fish in two hours at most, and life and death would be in an instant.
