Tianjin, the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the little devils.

Since the last time the headquarters of the little devils was bombed by the 36th Group Army and was razed to the ground, the little devils have moved to the underground office, and this large underground air-raid shelter is the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the little devils.

Since yesterday afternoon, the air raids of the 36th Group Army have suddenly stopped, and it is now more than 8 o'clock in the morning, and the planes of the 36th Group Army have not yet been spotted coming.

The little devil commander Nishio Shouzo walked anxiously around the headquarters, thinking about this abnormal situation, and next to him, a group of little devils lowered their heads and stood aside and didn't dare to say anything.

For a long time, Nishio Shouzo didn't come up with a reason, but the chief of staff of the little devil, holding a report with an ugly face, walked in with heavy steps.

Seeing this, Nishio Shouzo asked in a deep voice, "The statistical results are out?" ”

The chief of staff of the little devil was ordered by Shouzo Nishio to go to count and verify the losses, but as soon as the results came out, the chief of staff of the little devil felt that he was pulling out the cold in his heart.

The chief of staff of the little devil lowered his head and said sadly: "Your Excellency, commander, we have suffered heavy losses in this air raid, and all divisions and regiments have suffered heavy blows, and preliminary statistics show that we have lost more than 126,000 warriors of the imperial army, in addition, the loss of weapons and ammunition is innumerable. ”

After speaking, the chief of staff of the little devil looked sad, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Nishio Shouzo.

Although he had been prepared in his heart for a long time, this result was unacceptable to Nishio Shouzo, and such a result greatly exceeded Nishio Shouzo's expectations.

"Yaga! That's impossible! No way!!! ”

Nishio Shouzo is simply roaring there, howling there.

The surrounding little devils were silent, their faces were full of grief, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed, which made the hearts of the little devils hurt to the bone marrow, and the little devils did not recover for a long time.

After a long time, the chief of staff of the little devil comforted: "Your Excellency, the matter has come to this point, and we have no good way, next, we must focus on preparing for the next military operation of the 36th Group Army." ”

The chief of staff of the little devil guessed that the large-scale air raids of the 36th Group Army should be over, and the 36th Group Army would definitely take other military actions next.

Just now, Nishio Shouzo also thought for a long time, thinking about the next military action of the 36th Group Army, just now, the guess of the chief of staff of the little devil is basically the same as Nishio Shouzo's idea, Nishio Shouzo also believes that the air raid of the 36th Group Army should also be over.

Nishio Shouzo, who had already come back to his senses a little, said in a hoarse voice: "Next, the 36th Army may launch a large-scale ground attack on us. ”

After thinking about it for so long just now, Nishio Shouzo decided in his heart that the next move of the 36th Army should be a large-scale ground offensive.

"Your Excellency, Commander! If the 36th Army really launches a large-scale ground offensive, I think it will be very difficult for us to resist. The little devil's chief of staff couldn't help but say deflated.

The little devils around were also desolate, feeling powerless in their hearts, and they were depressed, and the chief of staff of the little devils was completely true, although the little devils did not want to admit it, but the facts were there, and with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the little devils, they could not compete with the huge strength of the 36th Group Army.

Hearing this, Nishio Shouzo was also silent for a while, and I believe that Nishio Shouzao also thought of this, and now, the Yue Army in the Beijing and Tianjin areas is not the opponent of the 36th Group Army at all.

Nishio Shouzo, who knew this well, had a gloomy face that could pinch out the water, and his chest rose and fell violently, obviously carrying out a fierce ideological struggle, and after a long time, Nishio Shouzo made a decision that all the little devils couldn't believe.

Nishio Shouzao was weak, and said slowly: "Order the troops near Beiping to retreat to Tianjin, abandon Beiping, and concentrate forces to hold Tianjin." ”

The chief of staff of the little devil was shocked, thinking that he had misheard, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency Commander, do we really want to give up Beiping?" ”

Nishio Shouzao nodded calmly, thinking in his heart, if he didn't give up Beiping and start a war with the 36th Group Army in Beiping and Tianjin at the same time, he was afraid that the losses would be greater, and in addition, Nishio Shouzao also made preparations for retreat in his heart.

Nishio Shouzao decided that if Tianjin could not hold it, then board the ship from Tianjin Port and retreat, preserve strength, abandon the Beijing and Tianjin regions, and make such a decision, Nishio Shouzao was also deeply helpless, but the decision to withdraw from Tianjin, Nishio Shouzao has not yet said it, for fear of affecting the confidence of the little devils to resist, and even shaking the morale of the army.

The 36th Group Army concentrated a large number of troops this time and prepared to launch a ground attack on the little devils in the Beijing-Tianjin area as soon as it began at 9 a.m.

There were 6 columns participating in the attack, including the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th, of which the 1st and 7th columns held Shijiazhuang and Baoding, the 3rd column was in Jingzhou, and the 5th column was stationed in Qinhuangdao.

The first to attack the little devils were nearly 1,000 heavy artillery pieces of more than 100 mm in six columns, and more than a dozen artillery positions had already been constructed, and everyone would shell the little devils' defensive positions.

Nearly 1,000 heavy artillery pieces, starting at 9 a.m., carried out a full hour of shelling, which once again killed a large number of little devils, and many of the little devils' defensive positions were once again covered by heavy artillery fire.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, many tanks, armored vehicles, and armed off-road vehicles of the 36th Group Army took the lead in launching a large-scale attack.

The northern suburbs of Beiping.

The huge force of the 6th Column is attacking and advancing, and the commander of the 6th Column, Chu Tianming, is standing on a small high ground, holding a telescope, looking at the soldiers who cannot see the edge in front of him, and is attacking the little devil with momentum.

The offensive of the fighters was like a bamboo, and in just over an hour, they advanced several kilometers.

Behind Chu Tianming, there were several armored command vehicles, more than a dozen off-road vehicles, and more than a dozen large trucks, all of which belonged to the headquarters of the 6th Column.

The headquarters of the 6th Column, for the time being, did not have a fixed place, but as the attacking troops continued to advance, occasionally stopping, Chu Tianming would personally see the attack of the soldiers.

Anyway, there are armored command vehicles, and the communication with the next unit is very convenient, as soon as there is any situation, the following troops can easily report through the radio communication system, and the orders of the column headquarters can also be sent to each column very quickly through the radio communication system.

"Commander! Just now, all the troops on the front line sent news one after another, saying that the little devils were fighting and retreating, and they asked for instructions one after another, what should I do? ”

A major staff officer of the 6th column trotted over and reported to Chu Tianming.

Chu Tianming, who was watching the battle situation in front of him, also saw something abnormal, and now, seeing that the major staff officer said this, Chu Tianming couldn't help but nod.

The little devil may want to retreat! A bold guess slowly formed in Chu Tianming's heart.

Putting down the binoculars, Chu Tian said in a clear voice: "Hurry up and convey my order to the troops in front, asking everyone to take advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate the little devil as much as possible." ”

Since the little devil wants to run, then he just beats the water dog and does his best to destroy the little devil's vital force. Chu Tianming's guess was completely correct, the little devil had already received an order, and the little devils in Beiping and its surroundings were retreating in the direction of Tianjin.

At this time, the little devils in Beiping were all fighting and retreating, some of the little devils stayed to block the advance of the 36th Group Army, and some of the little devils had already begun to retreat.

Inside the city of Beiping.

The people are still as usual, those who open the door to do business or continue to open the door to do business, and those who do short-term work still do short-term work as usual, at first, everyone did not feel anything abnormal at all.

As for the faint sound of gunfire all around, everyone is accustomed to it, and many ordinary people know that for nearly 10 days, the planes of the 36th Group Army have been bombing the little devils.

But at about ten o'clock in the morning, many people found that there was something abnormal.

In the city, on many streets, groups of little devils hurriedly trotted all the way, as if they were running out of the city, as if they were going out of the city.

A team of big trucks, full of a lot of little devils, or a lot of things, and even some women, children, etc., hurriedly drove out of the city. These women and children are obviously the families of the little devils.

Some of my offices, trading companies, and martial arts halls are also hurriedly packing up our things, and many of them are running away in a hurry.

When many people saw this scene, everyone talked about it, and everyone was very sorry and puzzled.

"What's wrong with these little devils?"

"I think they are going to run away from the city."

"No, it won't! Will the little devil run away? ”

"You don't know! I heard that the 36th Army has already attacked. ”

"Really! That's great! ”

A lot of people are talking about it, and the news that the little devil is going to escape quickly spread in Beiping City, at first, many people are skeptical, but they see a lot of little devil trading companies, institutions, and martial arts people going to the empty building, and the people slowly believe it.

"The little devil ran away!!"

Many ordinary people rushed to tell each other and celebrate each other.

In Beiping City, many puppet soldiers and Han anniversaries didn't know that the little devils were going to escape at first, and the little devils retreated and didn't notify these puppet soldiers and Han annihilation, and after two or three hours, when the puppet army and Han annihilation knew, it was too late.
