Just as Ma Zheng's air force was bombing the Japanese navy in the port of Tianjin, Ma Zheng, who was waiting for news in Zhangjiakou, also received an order from Yan'an, and the Party Central Committee demanded that the Saibei Corps immediately go south to reinforce Beiping and recapture Tianjin.

After receiving the order of the Party Central Committee, Ma Zheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered the troops of the three infantry divisions on the Xuanhua front to set off for the south, striving to reach Beiping before dark.

That night, Ma Zheng's main force arrived in Beiping, and Ma Zheng also moved his headquarters forward to Beiping.

However, Ma Zheng did not stop in Beiping, he only entered the city to meet with Mr. Zhu and others, and then commanded the troops to continue southward, he wanted to take Tianjin City while the Japanese army had not yet reacted.

It's not that Ma Zheng is blindly confident, but that he has the certainty of victory. Don't look at the fact that there are still a lot of Japanese troops on the front line, but since the capture of Tianjin, the troops of about two divisions along the way have not been stationed in Tianjin, but directly attacked from Tianjin to the southwest, attacking Hengshui and other towns, and even the third chariot division with the most powerful combat effectiveness was transferred by Okamura Ningji to attack Shimen.

Therefore, there are only one part of the 26th Division and the 110th Division of Abe Norihide in Tianjin, in addition to two puppet infantry divisions, with a total strength of more than 38,000 people.

The troops he led this time consisted of two integrated divisions and one standard division, in addition to an artillery brigade and an engineer brigade, with a total strength of more than 60,000 troops, almost twice as many as the Japanese army.

In addition, in order to increase the chances of victory, Ma Zheng also deliberately mobilized more than 100 unconscionable cannons to participate in the battle to deal with the Japanese fortifications.

However, according to the 129th Division and other troops that had just been withdrawn from Tianjin, there were still decent fortifications in Tianjin, and after more than a month of fighting, even the ground was cut down by the Japanese ship's artillery in three layers, and even if there were fortifications, all of them were destroyed.

What's more, Tianjin had previously been the residence of Yang Chengwu's department. When Ma Zheng's subordinates were asked to hand over Tianjin to the Kuomintang troops, Ma Zheng had already expected such a day.

It's not that Ma Zheng looks down on the Kuomintang troops, but because Okamura Ninji didn't die. Ma Zheng knows the ability of that old devil, since he is not dead, then he will definitely counterattack North China.

And the old devil's personality is the same as him, he is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and if he doesn't make a move, he will be thunderous.

More importantly, Tianjin's geographical location has determined that it will inevitably become the focus of contention between China and Japan, firstly, it is close to the sea and is the most ideal port for the Japanese navy. The second is that it is close to Shandong, and as long as the Japanese army sends troops to Dezhou, it will enter the boundary of Tianjin, and it is intolerable if it is not attacked.

Speaking of the Nationalist Government, although the performance of the Nationalist Government in recent years has also been remarkable, if they had not supported themselves on the frontal battlefield, perhaps the country would have been unable to hold out for a long time. However, it is undeniable that almost every time the Nationalist Government is defeated, it is won by more than it wins. Especially in a defensive battle like this, there is almost no chance of winning.

The Battle of Songhu lost Shanghai, the Battle of Nanjing lost Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou fell to Xuzhou, the Battle of Taiyuan was occupied by the Japanese devils, and the Battle of Wuhan also ended with the victory of the Japanese army, so Ma Zheng did not think that a single 14th Army could hold Tianjin.

Therefore, when the troops withdrew from Tianjin, Ma Zheng asked Yang Chengwu's troops to prepare for a counterattack on Tianjin, and Yang Chengwu simply ordered the troops to build a three-kilometer-long underground passage in the north and west of Tianjin. Both ends of the passage were concealed, so not only did Liu Enmao not find it, but it was impossible for the Japanese army who had just entered the city for less than 3 days to find it.

It is precisely because of these two secret passages that Ma Zheng has the confidence to win. It is completely conceivable that at the height of the battle, his elite troops entered the city through the tunnels, and then flanked the Japanese army in front and back, which was absolutely sour.

In the city of Tianjin, the traces of Ma Zheng's air force after the bombing are still there, and smoke is still emitting in some places, but Abe Guixiu can't take care of these anymore.

After yesterday's bombing, Abe was severely reprimanded by Commander Okamura, and at the same time, the Front Command told him that about three divisions of Shina troops were on their way to Tianjin, and that this time it was his old rival, Ma Zheng's headquarters.

After receiving the telegram sent by the front army, Abe Norihide did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered all units to enter a combat state, and those who should build fortifications should build fortifications, and those who should replenish ammunition should replenish ammunition, and in any case they must hold Tianjin.

Fortunately, His Excellency the commander also said that they would not be allowed to hold out for too long, the front army was formulating a big plan for counterattacking North China, and Tianjin played an obvious role as a bridgehead, so it would definitely not give up. Soon reinforcements from no less than two divisions would arrive in Tianjin, and Commander Okamura asked him to have a good fight with Ma Zheng's troops in Tianjin.

The battle began at noon on 2 July, with a patrol of the 26th Division and a reconnaissance company of the 2nd Division being the first to pick fire, and the two sides fought an encounter at Huanghuadian on the outskirts of Tianjin.

In this battle, the patrol of the 26th Division took advantage of a little advantage, fought an ambush by the reconnaissance company of the reorganized 2nd Division, and then calmly retreated.

However, immediately after that, the main force of the second division captured Huanghuadian and made dumplings for a devil infantry squadron stationed here.

The real battle began at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the two sides fought fiercely in the Wuqing area for the outlying positions in Tianjin.

The battle lasted from the afternoon to 11 o'clock in the evening, and after ten hours of hard fighting, Ma Zheng's troops finally drove the Japanese army out of Wuqing with strong firepower and occupied the outer positions of Tianjin Beicheng.

In view of the strong firepower of Ma Zheng's troops and the limited ammunition reserves of his troops, Abe Guixiu immediately ordered his troops to abandon their positions on the outskirts of Tianjin and withdraw into the city to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In Abe's view, the position outside the city has long been broken, and there is not much difference between defending and not defending. In the case of no superiority in troops and firepower, it is better to withdraw all the troops into the city and wait for reinforcements.

As long as the reinforcements arrive, the strength of the two sides will change at that time, and the inside and outside will inevitably be able to break the enemy army, and even the possibility of taking advantage of the situation to break through Beiping City, anyway, they do not have the same concerns as the Chinese, the Forbidden City is Chinese, and it is also the Chinese who should be distressed.

In fact, Abe Norihide could have imagined that Ma Zheng was waiting for him to do this. If he had been stumbling with Ma Zheng on the periphery of Tianjin, Ma Zheng would really have no way to deal with them.

After all, the length of the tunnel is only three kilometers, and the exit outside the city is in an abandoned brick kiln outside Tianjin, and if you want to enter the city through the tunnel, you have to take this broken kiln factory.

Before that, the Japanese army had laid out three lines of defense outside the kiln factory, and it was really necessary to fight one by one, and I don't know how many days it would take. By that time, the reinforcements of the Japanese army had already arrived, and it was really impossible to say that the tunnels were not needed.

If the tunnels are not used, then this battle will be difficult to fight. You must know that it took more than 20 days for the Japanese army to attack Tianjin, and tens of thousands of dead and wounded were taken down. Although the troops brought by Ma Zheng this time are all elite, if you want to attack, you don't want to take this important town without 20,000 casualties.

However, Ma Zheng has a certain understanding of Abe Norihide, and knows that this guy is not a Japanese officer in the ordinary sense, and Abe Norihide, who is named the flower of the imperial army, is a delicate guy, this guy's command level is very high, and he does not have the arrogance that Japanese officers are used to.

To say that it sounds good is to be cautious, but to say that it is not good is to be timid. Therefore, Ma Zheng took advantage of Abe's character characteristics, and he was the main force to attack as soon as he came up.

He just wanted to hurt Abe Guixiu, make him afraid, and make him feel that the Eighth Route Army was bound to go south this time, and the best way was to rely on the city fortifications to hold on and wait for reinforcements. In this way, the Japanese army will obediently enter the city, and they will move their troops to the broken kiln factory outside the city without much effort.

Abe Guixiu really did this, and I have to say that Ma Zheng has an accurate grasp of the character of these Japanese commanders. After a few routines, Abe Norixiu was stunned, and his weakness was exposed all of a sudden.
