On October 7th, the night was very quiet, and the outer harbor of Tianjin was quiet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, a large iron fishing boat of considerable tonnage swaggered away from the port, and it left under the watchful eyes of the Japanese soldiers, and the destination of the fishing boat was three large naval ships not far away.

When the fishing boat was less than 300 meters away from the naval vessels, three men in tight water shoes pushed several swarthy things into the water, and then these men also jumped into the water and quietly approached the Japanese ships.

For today's transaction, both Hidden Dragon and Kaiichi Takahashi attach great importance to it, after all, this is the first transaction between the two parties, and the transaction amount is still so high, so they have to be cautious.

However, the whole transaction went smoothly, and when all the goods were unloaded onto the small fishing boat, Hidden Dragon handed a box full of yen to Kaiichi Takahashi, and the transaction was successfully completed.

After completing the transaction, the small fishing boat left the warship loaded with munitions, and after picking up several members of the team responsible for laying mines on the halfway, Yinlong and the others returned to Tianjin Port.

The news of the attack on the naval ships stationed in Tianjin came out three days later, because the naval ships did not move at all for the past three days, and it was not until they received an order three days later to prepare to transport a batch of munitions to Qingdao, Shandong.

Although the power of these mines was limited, they only damaged the warships, but did not sink them. However, the shock to the Japanese army was quite small, you must know that these warships have always been moored in the well-defended Tianjin Port, but I did not expect that someone would touch the door of the house and arrange torpedoes, which is simply a great shame.

After the news was transmitted back to Beiping, Lieutenant General Tada Jun was furious and strictly ordered the Tianjin Port Guard to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But the matter has already happened, what's the point of investigating it again, let alone who can find out this kind of headless public case.

After learning that the Hidden Dragon Clan's first battle was successful, Ma Zheng was overjoyed, although he couldn't congratulate these comrades who were active on the secret front, but he still asked people to send a message to Hidden Dragon and the others, expressing satisfaction with their results, and also congratulating them.

Besides, Lieutenant General Tadajun, after a few days of anger, finally received a good news, the base camp promised him more than 70,000 reinforcements finally arrived at Tianjin Port, although these tens of thousands of troops have just been formed this year, and the combat effectiveness is very limited, but with the addition of more than 70,000 people, Tada Jun is confident that the situation can be restored to the state of half a year ago.

After the adjustment, the First Army of the North China Front Army was increased from the original three divisions to four divisions and four mixed brigades, with a total strength of more than 90,000 troops. The strength of the 12th Army stationed in Shandong was reduced from the original four divisions and five mixed brigades to three divisions and two mixed brigades, and the Fifth Division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Front Army.

At this point, the total strength of the North China Front Army has also reached an unprecedented 11 infantry divisions and 9 mixed brigades, plus other directly subordinate troops, the total strength of the North China Front Army has reached 320,000, and the total strength of the North China Front has reached an unprecedented 500,000 if you add the puppet army that cooperated with the Japanese army.

It is said that there is food in his hands and he does not panic, and with so many troops in his hands, Tada Jun will naturally not be willing to be suppressed by the Chinese like this, and Tada Jun, who has long been unable to suppress the anger in his heart, finally showed his fangs.

At this time, General Tada Jun was full of confidence in the next battle, and after supplementation, the field divisions under his command included the 5th Division, the 10th Division, the 16th Division, the 20th Division, the 21st Division, the 26th Division, the 32nd Division, the 35th Division, the 36th Division, the 37th Division, the 109th Division, and the 110th Division, in addition to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 15th Independent Mixed Brigades, the 4th Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 1st Brigade of the Military Police Headquarters in China. Independent 1st Wing, 4th Wing, Tank Wing, etc.

Such a powerful configuration is the first time since the establishment of the North China Front, not to mention, commanding nearly 500,000 troops including the puppet army to fight, which is the first time for Tada Jun. Excited, Tada ordered all units to immediately seize the time to rest and recuperate, replenish their weapons and ammunition, and be ready to plunge into a new battle at any time.

Before the reinforcements of these four divisions arrived in North China, Tada Jun also had 3560,000 troops in his hands, but General Tada Jun did not dare to argue with the Chinese troops in North China.

Except for the Fifth Division and the 10th Division, the remaining troops were either second-line garrison units or had been severely damaged by Ma Zheng's headquarters.

In particular, the newly formed 32nd Division, 35th Division, 36th Division, 37th Division, 6th Independent Brigade, 7th Independent Brigade, 8th Independent Brigade, 9th Independent Brigade, and 10th Independent Brigade are all new recruits that have just been formed this year. It was precisely because he knew these things that Tada Jun didn't dare to use these people to fight against Ma Zheng's subordinates.

However, many of the more than 70,000 people who were transferred from the base camp to North China this time were rural soldiers, or veterans in modern terms. Although these people have been laying down their guns for many years, there are even veterans who fought in the Sino-Japanese War thirty years ago.

However, veterans are veterans after all, and they are by no means comparable to those recruits who have not been on the battlefield. Tada Jun believes that as long as these tens of thousands of veterans are trained intensively for a period of time, it will inevitably stimulate the blood in their hearts, and it will inevitably create a real iron-blooded army.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Tian Jun believed that as long as the tactics were properly arranged, he would definitely be able to cripple all the Chinese troops, including Ma Zheng's headquarters.

However, it is not easy to let these veterans stimulate the desire to fight in their hearts, so Tada Jun thought of a way, that is, to use Chinese to train soldiers, just like Ma Zheng used the Japanese army to train soldiers, Tada Jun also hopes to train a real elite army for the Imperial Japanese Army through the next battle. Otherwise, how useful would the 500,000 troops of the North China Front be?

The most important thing is to choose a suitable opponent for training, too weak to withstand the beating, can not achieve the purpose of training, this is like letting the elite of the Japanese army attack the bandit cottage, even if it is a hundred cottages, it may not be able to improve much combat effectiveness.

And if the enemy is too strong, it will not work, if the enemy's strength exceeds expectations, the result will be that your own troops will be lost, and not only will not achieve the purpose of training, but will also damage morale.

Although Lieutenant General Tada Jun was very eager to directly start a war with Ma Zheng's subordinates and kill this guy who had brought much shame to the Imperial Japanese Army, the vast majority of officers, including the chief of staff, Major General Yukio Kasawara, did not agree to go to war with Ma Zheng's subordinates without preparation, and the chances of success were not high.

After all, the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department is there, and according to past combat experience, if you want to take advantage of Ma Zheng's department, you must carry out meticulous planning and accurate deduction, and you will only make yourself more passive in a hurry.

More importantly, after many defeats, the ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers of the front army have already cast a shadow on the battle against Ma Zheng's troops, and once they are defeated again, their morale will further decline, which the front army cannot afford under any circumstances.

In the end, Major General Yukio Kasahara came up with an idea, since the front army could not go deep into the defense area of Ma Zheng's department, then lead Ma Zheng's department to take the initiative to attack, so as to not only complete the purpose of His Excellency the commander to fight on behalf of the commander, but also to try the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department, even if it fails, the loss of the troops will not be too great.
