The Beicang defense line has gathered more than 20,000 coalition troops at this time.

At the headquarters of the coalition forces, British Commander Seymour, Russian Commander Turgrev, and Commander Morimoto Yamaguchi Sochen and other high-ranking leaders of the coalition forces are holding an emergency meeting.

Seymour had taken Yamaguchi's place as the supreme commander of the North Warehouse Line, and although Turgrev and Yamaguchi were extremely dissatisfied, it was an order from the commander of the coalition forces, Wadsey, and they had to comply.

Seymour asked Yamaguchi Suchen: "General Yamaguchi, have the artillery positions of the Chinese* army been calculated?" ”

Yamaguchi Suchen said: "It has been calculated." ”

Measuring the artillery positions by ballistics, of course, there is no problem with the coalition artillery, not to mention that these guns are all used by the coalition forces themselves.

"Good." Seymour nodded and said, "Now we have gathered more than one hundred and fifty cannons on our artillery position, just to give the Chinese a little color, we will destroy all their artillery and artillery!" ”

Turgrev said: "Your Excellency, I think we must now not only give the Chinese artillery a look, but also send the most intense artillery fire to their infantry, so that they will wail and scream in our artillery fire." ”

"Of course."

Seymour grinned, as if he had seen the Chinese soldiers annihilated by the heavy allied fire.

An hour later, the coalition artillery position, Seymour personally supervised the formation, after an order, all 152 cannons fired, huge shells with a sharp whistling sound rushed to the sky, flying towards the original artillery position of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Countless shells exploded on the open ground, shrapnel flew and dust flew, but not a single cannon was blown up, and not a single person was killed, because today's artillery positions of the Dragon and Tiger Army have nothing but some simple traces of fortifications and artillery placement.

Seymour, who thought he had razed the artillery positions of the Dragon and Tiger Army, ordered to fire artillery aimed at the forward positions of the Dragon and Tiger Army after nearly half an hour of shelling.

When the first round of shells had not yet landed on the position, the soldiers of the Huwei Division, who had been prepared for a long time, even retracted their guns into the cat's ear hole specially used for air defense and anti-artillery.

The artillery bombardment of the coalition forces lasted for a whole hour, and most places, whether it was the positions of the original artillery regiment or the defensive positions of the Huwei Division, were turned over by artillery fire. However, there were no casualties on the Huwei Division.

……

To the north of Tonghaitun River, Wang Jundao had already arrived at the temporary headquarters of Nie's expedition, and when he heard the continuous sound of artillery coming from the Beicang defense line, Wang Jundao couldn't help but say to everyone: "The foreigners are really rich, so many cannons have not stopped for so long." ”

Nie Yuanzheng, commander of the Third Division of the Longwu Army, said with a smile: "No matter how much we fight, it's just a waste of shells, it's better to stay and be our trophies." ”

Yue Fengxian, commander of the First Cavalry Division, said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's all white silver, and the foreigners are really willing to do it." ”

Liu Wei, the commander of the Tiger Roar Division of the Tiger Ben Guard, said with a smile: "It's okay, there must be a lot of shells from the foreigners, otherwise they wouldn't have fought for so long." ”

Murong Ke, the commander of the Second Cavalry Division, said with some concern: "With such fierce artillery fire, I'm afraid that the brothers of the Huwei Division will not be comfortable." ”

"Don't worry, there are cat ear piercings, even if the coalition forces shell for a few more hours, it doesn't matter."

Wang Jundao was full of confidence, he couldn't help but think of the Korean battlefield in the history of his previous life, the US military opened the way with heavy artillery fire, and every battle would turn over the positions of the volunteers, and it was difficult to find living creatures within three feet underground, but when the US army attacked, the volunteers would still drill out of the cat's ear hole and continue to fight.

Compared with the artillery fire of the US army on the Korean battlefield, the artillery of the coalition forces today is just a child's family.

Looking at the shocked people, Wang Jundao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about it, you will know in the future, let's study how to attack the defense line of the Tonghaitun River of the coalition army now." ”

Before Nie Yuanzheng was the commander-in-chief of the attack on the Tonghai Tun River, he naturally knew the defense of the coalition forces of the Tonghai Tun River very well, he said: "The defense line of the Tonghai Tun River coalition army is divided into three parts, the most important of which is the Tong Hai Tun River Bridge, which is the only way for Tianjin to the northeast, in addition, there are two other important ferries, and there is also a heavy fire defense, through these days of tentative attack, we have basically figured out the firepower of the coalition forces, from yesterday to today, we found that the coalition forces of the Tong Hai Tun River have withdrawn most of them, although well disguised, but we still discovered it, according to my estimates, today's Tonghaitun River defense line, the coalition army will definitely not exceed four thousand. ”

Wang Jundao knew that Nie Yuanzheng must already have a battle plan in his heart, so he asked directly, "What is a good battle plan?" ”

Nie Yuanzheng said: "I suggest adopting the tactics of breaking through in the middle and dividing and annihilating. ”

Wang Jundao nodded and said, "Tell me more details." ”

Nie Yuanzheng said: "We have four main combat divisions, namely the Tiger Roar Division, the Third Division of the Longwu Army, the First Cavalry Division, and the Second Cavalry Division, north of the Tonghaitun River, with a total of more than 55,000 combat soldiers, as well as more than 30,000 people such as artillery regiments, assault regiments, machine gun regiments, pistol regiments, baggage regiments, engineering regiments, special operations battalions, guidance battalions, communications battalions, and logistics offices. In a battle, the allied army's Tonghaitun River defense line could be taken, and then the army would directly attack Tianjin, but the casualties would be not small in this way. ”

When the words fell, Wang Jundao spoke: "How can there be immortals in war? With this tactic, we now have to buy time and not prolong the war, otherwise the coalition reinforcements will arrive, and we will have a vicious battle with no chance of winning. ”

After a pause, waiting for everyone to react, Wang Jundao continued: "Let the First Cavalry Division and the Second Cavalry Division fight the vanguard at the same time, and after breaking through the allied defense line of the Tonghaitun River Bridge, the First Cavalry Division will go to the right and the Second Cavalry Division will go to the left, and they will capture two ferries from the flank. ”

Everyone had no objections, and after Wang Jundao explained again, he directly assigned the task.

An hour later, the offensive battle on the Tonghaitun River was completely launched, and the artillery regiment took the lead in exerting its might, starting with more than 100 captured coalition artillery pieces that began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment on the coalition positions on the south bank of the Tonghaitun River bridge.

Under the sound of 'rumbling' artillery, countless coalition fire strongholds were destroyed, and after the artillery stopped roaring, the mortars arranged on the Longwu Army's positions north of the Tonghai Tun River began to exert their might, and most of the fire strongholds that were lucky not to be destroyed by the previous artillery fire were also reduced to ruins under the shells of the medium mortars north of the Tonghai Tun River.

Before the mortars stopped, the Maxim heavy machine guns and Sky Piercing heavy machine guns deployed on the north bank began to spray tongues of fire, and the coalition forces had already lost many people in the previous artillery fire, and now they were overwhelmed by the heavy fire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the First Cavalry Division and the Second Cavalry Division began to charge, the soldiers of the Cavalry Division were all good riders in the Youyun region, their ancestors, were the Yanyun Iron Cavalry that made the world fearful, they also inherited the Guan Rong of their ancestors, although they only trained for less than two months, but they only trained that content in these two months, charging and wielding knives, and now they are well-deserved knights in the army, they wield steel knives that exude a cold cold light, Roaring and rushing towards the coalition defense line on the south bank of the Tonghaitun River.

Due to the previous heavy artillery bombardment, due to the cover of more than 100 mortars and more than 100 heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the cavalry division only paid more than 100 casualties, and the knights in the front had already set foot on the land south of the Tonghaitun River.

Cavalry, win with speed!

Soon, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions were firing like two sharp arrows along both sides of the Allied defensive line, and no Allied soldier could escape the blades of the cavalry warriors in their passes.

The Chinese cavalry, who were skilled in horsemanship, used the steel swords in their hands to show the demeanor of Chinese knights to the coalition forces.

In just half an hour, there was no longer a force to resist on the coalition position, not even a single soldier to fight!

Subsequently, Yue Fengxian led the First Cavalry Division to march along the upper reaches of the Tonghaitun River, and Murong Ke led the Second Cavalry Division to rush along the lower reaches of the Tonghaitun River, while the soldiers of the Tiger Roar Division and the Third Division of the Longwu Army had already occupied the defensive positions of the coalition forces.

An hour later, the battle of Tonghai Tunhe came to an end, and the outcome of the battle was without suspense, and the Dragon and Tiger Army only paid less than 300 casualties before completely occupying the allied defense line of Tonghai Tunhe.

Leaving a regiment to be responsible for the post-war affairs of the Tonghaitun River, Wang Jundao ordered the 2nd Cavalry Division to cooperate with the Tiger and Par Division, which had been reorganized into a mobile force, to capture a strategic stronghold outside Tianjin without leaving any ground.

Wang Jundao led the Tiger Roar Division, the Third Division of the Longwu Army, the First Cavalry Division, and the rest of the team to rush south and rush to the Purple Bamboo Forest Concession, the barrier southeast of Tianjin City!

An hour later, under the leadership of Yue Fengxian, the First Cavalry Division occupied the Laolongtou Railway Station on the north bank of the Haihe River with lightning speed, killing more than 600 enemies, and more than 400 allied troops fled into Tianjin.

Half an hour later, under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars, Wang Jundao's army broke through the weakly defended defense line of the new pontoon bridge, and after destroying more than 200 enemies, the tireless First Cavalry Division once again raised its might, cooperated with the assault regiment, and rushed into the Zizhulin Concession.

The Zizhulin Concession was captured by the Dragon and Tiger Army, marking that the retreat of the coalition forces was completely blocked!
