[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1033: Take Tianjin City (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Night. It's quiet, but it's very comfortable. The summer night www.biquge.info no longer the unbearable heat of the day, and there is a touch of coolness. Beautiful stars dotted in the deep blue of the night, a bright moon set in the black sky, this night, the view is very charming.

The city of Tianjin is very quiet, because it is worried that the people in the city will make trouble, and they are even more worried that the people will cooperate with the Eighth Route Army outside the city to attack the city, so Abe Guixiu directly ordered Tianjin City to enter a state of martial law, as soon as it gets dark, all the people must go home, and they are absolutely not allowed to go out without an order.

Otherwise, if caught by the patrol, they will be immediately thrown into prison. The worst of them will be severely beaten, and even lose their lives because of it.

In the middle of the night, there was no movement in the entire city except for the footsteps of the Japanese puppet army patrols from time to time.

Suddenly, a strange squeaky sound suddenly came from the abandoned delivery room of the Hu Ji Cotton Mill in the west of the city, which startled a wild cat hiding in the abandoned factory and jumped up, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

"Dangchang!"

After a dull sound, a dilapidated earthen wall in the old factory area collapsed, revealing a swarthy hole.

When the dust cleared, a soldier in a yellow and green camouflage uniform crawled out of the hole, and then quickly raised his gun to guard the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, soldiers in the same costume crawled out of the hole, and in a short time the abandoned workshop was all packed.

Then these soldiers began to infiltrate the outside of the factory, and the battle to capture the city began!

In the face of the sudden attack, although the Japanese troops in the city were shocked, they did not panic.

Norihide Abe's command level is still very good, and as a senior commander who has climbed up from the grassroots level, Norihide Abe's combat experience is extremely rich.

In fact, after capturing Tianjin City, Abe Norihide thought that the Eighth Route Army was likely to come to capture Tianjin City, and also thought of the possibility that the Eighth Route Army might break through the city defenses, and even thought of the possibility that the enemy would use unconventional operations. Especially after Ma Zheng's siege of the city, Abe Guixiu was even more so, and also formulated a series of countermeasures.

Although Abe Guixiu didn't know how Ma Zheng's troops entered the city, he didn't think that the Eighth Route Army could attack many people in a short period of time, at most one or two infantry battalions used special means to enter the city, or even just a few special combat teams.

However, his troops were all in the city, with tens of thousands of troops, and they were not worried about what the Dirt Eighth Road could do to them.

Therefore, at the moment when the gunshots rang out, Abe Norihide immediately ordered the troops in the city to immediately counterattack according to the plan, and clear the Dohachi Road that had broken into the city as soon as possible.

However, the war did not seem to go as smoothly as Abe had anticipated, and at first only a few points in the west of the castle were discovered by the Dohachi Road. The number of enemies was not large, only the size of one or two infantry companies, but soon the figure of the Eighth Route Army was also found in the south of the city.

The most important thing is that more and more Eighth Route Army entered the city, one battalion, one regiment, and soon the news came back from several positions in the south and west of the city that there was at least one infantry brigade on the Eighth Route of Tu that entered the city, and the number continued to increase.

At this time, Abe Guixiu panicked, which showed that Tubalu probably mastered the method of entering the city quickly, and was determined to capture Tianjin City tonight.

The development of events has been beyond Abe's expectations, and in desperation, Abe Norihide ordered his troops to continue the attack, while asking General Okamura Ninji for instructions, whether to hold on and wait for reinforcements or break through.

Okamura Ninji didn't expect that Ma Zheng's department would be so powerful, and Abe Norihide's entire tens of thousands of people were rushed into the city without even holding out for two days, such a speed is really fast.

Although reinforcements are already on the way, according to the speed of the march, it is expected that they will reach Tianjin in two days at most. As soon as reinforcements arrive, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

But now that the city fortifications have lost their effect, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army has also invaded Tianjin City, Okamura Ninji really does not dare to take risks with Abe Guixiu's department.

The experience of fighting before told Okamura Ningji that Ma Zheng's division is definitely different from the ordinary Eighth Route Army, this Eighth Route Army is quite weird, and there must not be a little sloppy and fluke with such an opponent, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

What's more, the North China Front has just regained its combat effectiveness, Okamura Ningji really doesn't dare to be careless, if Ma Zheng's department is allowed to eat a field division again, then he really doesn't know how to explain to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor.

After thinking about it again and again, Okamura Ninji still gave Abe Norihide's department an order to break out.

After receiving the telegram from the front headquarters, Norihide Abe breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Commander Okamura would let him hold on to Tianjin City and wait for reinforcements.

Compared with Okamura Ninji, Abe Norihide can be said to be the senior officer who knows Ma Zheng the most in the entire Japanese army that invaded China, is there anyone who knows Ma Zheng better than him? Yes! It's a pity that that person has already returned home! This person is Aiko Sato, the former head of intelligence of the front army!

Although Okamura Ninji is a China expert, he has a certain understanding of China's politics, economy and culture, which Abe Norihide thinks is not as good as him. But if you just talk about Ma Zheng and the army under his command, Abe Guixiu thinks that he is definitely no worse than anyone else.

Since the 12th year of Showa, when he was still the commander of the second brigade of the independent mixed brigade, he had already fought with Ma Zheng's department, and it is no exaggeration to say that he watched Ma Zheng's department rise step by step in North China.

Another thing that makes Abe Norihide proud is that he is the only senior commander of the empire who directly fought with Ma Zheng's department and was not killed and captured alive, and the rest of the people such as Lianzhao Pan, Fujita Shigeru, Naito Shoichi, Sawada Shigeru and others, almost none of them can escape the poisonous hands of that Shina general.

Because of this, Abe Guixiu is really afraid of fighting with Ma Zheng's department, and he is even more worried about facing Ma Zheng's department alone.

Although he also knew that reinforcements were on the way, he still didn't dare to confront Ma Zheng's troops alone, because that was no different from looking for death.

And just now the news came from the front line that Ma Zheng's department has captured half of the west of the city and one-third of the south of the city, and one-fifth of Tianjin City has fallen into the hands of Ma Zheng's department, and this is only an hour and a half from Ma Zheng's department entering the city.

It is completely predictable that if the fight continues like this, at most Ma Zheng's troops will be able to capture more than half of the urban area at dawn, and then this battle will become a street battle. Once reinforcements are blocked on the road, the consequences are unimaginable.

Fortunately, those guys in the front army headquarters have not fainted yet, and they have not let them hold on to Tianjin, and everything still has a chance.

After a little thought, Abe Norihide ordered these senior officers of the headquarters to immediately command the troops to take cover alternately and fight their way out of the siege from the south of the city.

Although Ma Zheng had expected that the Japanese army might break through, he did not expect that Abe Guixiu would organize troops to break through so quickly, after all, the siege battle had only started for less than two days, and the troops had entered the city in less than two hours.

In addition, there were not many troops under his command this time, in addition to a part of it for entering the city to attack, and a part of it was reserved to intercept the Japanese reinforcements, so there were no troops left outside the city to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through, so he was caught off guard by Abe Norihide's department.

Soon, under the command of Abe Norihide, almost all the Japanese troops in Tianjin broke through, leaving only a few puppet troops to be used as cannon fodder to stay in the city to continue the battle and block the pursuit of Ma Zheng's troops.

The battle lasted until 4:10 in the morning, and Ma Zheng's troops finally cleared the remnants of the enemy in the city and conquered Tianjin City again.

However, it is a pity that in this battle, in addition to taking the city of Tianjin, there are almost no captures.

The Japanese troops in the city almost all retreated, and the puppet army also withdrew part of it, and when they left, the Japanese army blew up all the ammunition stored in the city, and set some of the military rations on fire. Except for the dozen or so seriously damaged warships in Tianjin Port, Ma Zheng's department had little to gain.

But whether it is Ma Zheng or other officers, it is clear that the significance of the attack on Tianjin is not in those captures, but in blocking the passage for the Japanese army to land in the Pingjin area from Tianjin, avoiding the tragedy of 37 years.

Therefore, after the capture of Tianjin, Ma Zheng's division did not stop there, and under Ma Zheng's order, the 14th and 15th divisions continued to pursue Abe's subordinates southward, and according to Ma Zheng's requirements, the Japanese army must be driven out of Tianjin.

However, only one day later, news came from the front again, because the 1st Brigade of the 14th Division was too aggressive in pursuit, and was beaten back by the old thing of Abe Guixiu in Damanzhuang, south of Cangzhou, not to mention the heavy losses of the department, more than 3,600 people, including the brigade headquarters, were surrounded in Damanzhuang.

At this time, in addition to Abe's Norihide Division, there was also a division of the Japanese army coming towards Damanzhuang, and the purpose was self-evident, that is, to eat the first brigade of the 14th Division.
