Chapter Ninety-Four: Coalition Forces Increase

Tianjin, the general headquarters of the coalition forces, and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Wadsey, had already received an urgent report from the front and hurriedly convened a military meeting of the commanders of various countries.

Wadsey glanced at everyone and said: "Presumably everyone has also received the news from the front, let me briefly say it again, the Chinese * army has fiercely attacked the Beicang defense line with artillery fire, so far, we have more than 3,000 soldiers killed and more than 1,000 soldiers injured, and now the coalition forces in the Beicang defense line have only 5,000 people to fight, and they can't resist the attack of the Chinese * army at all."

At the same time, the Chinese * army also launched an artillery bombardment of the Tonghaitun River defense line and Balitai, although the scale was not large, but also caused certain casualties, in addition, the cavalry of the Chinese * army was also dispersed into countless teams, attacking various strategic bases outside Tianjin, and now six strongholds have fallen into the hands of the Chinese, our situation is very critical, what do you think of the generals, hurry up and talk about it. ”

However, before the commanders could speak, a signal soldier sent a telegram to Wadsey, saying: "General, Beicang urgent, the Chinese* army has launched an attack on the Beicang defense line, because the firepower of the Zhong[***] team is too fierce, the Beicang defense line lost more than 800 soldiers before the attack of the Chinese* army, and General Yamaguchi asked for support. ”

Wadsey took the telegram, and after reading it, he said with a solemn face: "Generals, we don't have any more time to discuss this now, we need to support the Beicang defense line, otherwise in a few hours, the Beicang defense line will be breached, and then Tianjin City will be completely exposed to the attack of the Chinese* army." ”

American General Sha Fei said: "But now there are only 15,000 soldiers in Tianjin City, and we can only hold on to Tianjin City, and we don't have extra troops to support Beicang?" ”

Wadsey frowned and said, "Tianjin City only needs to leave 10,000 people to garrison, and the Beicang defense line must be supported." ”

Sha Fei said again: "But then there are less than 10,000 people on the North Cang defense line, how can it withstand the attack of the Chinese?" ”

Wadsey said: "From the point of view of Tonghaitunhe and Balitai, the main attack point of the Chinese [***] team should be in Beicang, and their shelling of Tonghaitunhe and Balitai is just to drag our forces in these two places, so I decided to drop another 5,000 people from these two places to Beicang, so that the Beicang defense line can have 20,000 soldiers, so that the Chinese attack will be contained, as long as it holds on for another half a month, the reinforcements of Yuben and Russia should arrive, and the Chinese * army must have run out of ammunition and exhausted by then, It's time for us to counterattack. ”

Sha Fei said: "In this case, there are only 2,000 soldiers in Tonghaitunhe and Balitai?" In the event that the Chinese* army attacks from these two places, how can it resist it? ”

Wadsey said: "Most of the artillery of the Chinese* army has been concentrated outside the Beicang defense line, we only need to deploy cannons and a large number of machine guns in Tonghaitunhe and Balitai, and the Chinese* army does not want to break through the defense line in these two places." ”

At this time, the French commander Bruce said: "What about the small strategic strongholds outside Tianjin that have been captured? ”

Wadsey said: "Don't worry about those small strongholds for the time being, as long as the three strategic fortresses outside Tianjin City are still in our hands, it is impossible for the Chinese* army to attack Tianjin City from these small strongholds, and even if they attack, with the strength of 10,000 soldiers in Tianjin City, plus strong firepower and the strength of Tianjin City, it is impossible for them to attack Tianjin City." ”

Everyone no longer had any doubts when they heard this, in fact, even if they had doubts, there was no way, because the Chinese * army was too fierce.

Wadsey immediately gave the order on the spot to increase the number of troops to the northern cang's line of defense by 15,000.

Half an hour later, a coalition of 5,000 soldiers marched out of Tianjin and rushed to Beicang. After that, Balitai and Tonghai Tunhe also drove a team of 5,000 people each to Beicang.

Under the cover of the 'Piercing Sky' heavy machine gun and the Makqin heavy machine gun, the Dragon and Tiger Army launched a second round of charges against the Beicang front defense line, and the snipers of the special operations battalion also began to fire at the coalition machine gunners on the Beicang defense line one by one.

Due to the suppression of machine gun fire and the long-range sniping of snipers, almost all of the more than 30 heavy machine guns on the coalition trenches were muted.

The Dragon and Tiger Army only paid less than 100 men to enter the trenches of the coalition forces, and then the soldiers of the 1st battalion of the Assault Regiment launched strafing fire on the coalition troops in the trenches with the 'Thorn Sky' light machine guns and 'Thorn Sky' submachine guns, and the 1st Battalion of the Pistol Regiment also launched a burst fire with 20 Mauser pistols and 'Thorn Sky' pistols.

In less than half an hour, the first trench of the coalition army was occupied by the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and due to the order of Wang Jundao, not a single prisoner was left, and those who did not die were all shot.

However, the Dragon and Tiger Army did not attack the second line of the coalition army, but only collected all the spoils of the first line of battle and quickly retreated.

Less than ten minutes after the Dragon and Tiger Army retreated, more than 15,000 people from the three support armies of the coalition army rushed to Beicang, and at this time, there were only more than 3,000 people left in the coalition army of the Beicang defense line to support it.

Half an hour later, at the temporary headquarters of the Dragon and Tiger Army, Leng Feng reported to Wang Jundao: "Commander, the special combat team members have found that the reinforcements of the coalition army have arrived, and the preliminary estimate is that there are more than 10,000 people. ”

"Oh? It's coming pretty fast. Wang Jundao was surprised, and asked Lin Zhengnan, the former chief of staff of the enemy: "What do you think we should do now?" ”

Lin Zhengnan knew that Wang Jundao was going to test himself, he groaned for a while, and said: "We have eliminated at least more than 5,000 coalition troops in the Beicang defense line through two rounds of artillery bombardment and two rounds of attack, and now the coalition army has tens of thousands of reinforcements, and Tianjin City needs at least 10,000 soldiers to stay, and then excluding the tens of thousands of coalition troops in various strategic small strongholds outside Tianjin City, then the defenders of the Tonghai Tunhe defense line and the Balitai defense line are only afraid that there are less than 5,000, I think we should implement the second step plan." ”

Wang Jundao nodded and said with a smile: "You analyzed it very well, but there is one thing that you haven't considered. ”

Lin Zhengnan said humbly: "Please also ask the commander to solve your doubts." ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "Think about it, the Beicang defense line originally had 10,000 defenders, but it was defeated by us in just one day, and even the first line of defense was broken by us, under our fierce artillery fire, will the coalition army only send 10,000 people over?" In other words, since you know that 10,000 people in the Beicang defense line can't stop it, will you only send 10,000 people over? ”

"No, it won't." Lin Zhengnan shook his head and said, "I will send as many troops as I can, and I will concentrate a large amount of heavy firepower on the Beicang defense line." ”

"That's right." Wang Jundao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now we have not launched a major attack on Balitai and Tonghaitunhe, but a fierce attack on the Beicang defense line, and the coalition forces will definitely think that our main attack point is the Beicang defense line, so they will transfer most of the coalition forces in Balitai and Tonghaitunhe over, and will only deploy a lot of firepower in the two places, because they will feel that most of our troops must also be outside the Beicang defense line, and other places only need heavy firepower to ensure that there is no hindrance." ”

Lin Zhengnan was completely enlightened when he heard this, and asked, "Commander, what should we do now?" ”

Wang Jundao asked, "How is our trench defense line doing now?" ”

Lin Zhengnan said: "The three trenches have been completed, which is enough to confront the coalition forces for a long time, and each trench has been dug with cat's ear holes, and the enemy's artillery fire has almost zero damage to us. ”

"Good!" Wang Jundao nodded and said: "Now implement the second plan, the Huwei Division will stay on the Beicang defense line, confront the coalition forces, don't take the initiative to attack, the artillery regiment, machine gun regiment, assault regiment, pistol regiment, baggage regiment, engineering regiment, logistics regiment, special operations battalion, communication battalion, etc. will all turn to the Tonghaitun River, and the main attack location will become the Tonghai Tunhe defense line!" ”
