After listening to Zuo Quan's words, Qiao Youhua fell into deep thought, and he began to recall the various coping strategies adopted by our volunteers in the Korean battlefield in the face of the eighteen-nation coalition army, which also occupied the absolute superiority of land, sea and air three-dimensional firepower.

In particular, the various effective tactics adopted during the offensive cannot be completely copied if you think about it carefully, because during the Korean War, the weapons and equipment of our volunteers were still better than those of the current Dragon's Tooth Column.

There is a small number of air forces and a large number of Soviet-style weapons and various advanced weapons of the Wanguo brand in the middle and late stages of World War II, so, after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Youhua feels that if he wants to recover Tianjin, he still has to adopt the tactical strategy of a frontal breakthrough.

The reason is very simple, Tianjin is backed by the sea, the Japanese army is stubbornly resisting, there is only one place, behind them is the sea, the dragon tooth column no longer has any space and opportunity to attack in a roundabout way, except for a frontal onslaught, there is really no other way.

Gritting his teeth, Qiao Youhua said to Zuo Quan and the others: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to concentrate all forces, adopt the method of earthwork from the frontal battlefield, use various trenches and tunnels as cover to resist the enemy's naval artillery groups and air fire support, dig and advance to the enemy's position, and then rush out of the bunker and launch a full-scale onslaught on the enemy's defense line after approaching a sufficient distance." ”

"In addition, I also decided to use the power of Long Yingwei in Tianjin City to launch an attack on the Japanese command structures at all levels in Tianjin City and destroy the enemy's command system."

Hearing this, Zuo Quan couldn't help but nodded approvingly: "I will ask the organization to ask them to agree with the comrades of the underground party in Tianjin, and also participate in it, and cooperate with us to launch sabotage attacks on the command structure of the Japanese puppet army, logistics supply points and other targets in Tianjin." It would be better to organize a crack force to carry out an attack on the enemy fleet anchored at the dock in Tientsin, and blow up some devil ships.

Even if we can't force them all back, at least we can make the devil feel palpitations, and they don't dare to unscrupulously anchor in the port to suppress our artillery fire.

And once the Devil's naval ships withdraw from the port, the effective range of fire support for the Japanese positions on the outskirts of Tianjin will be correspondingly smaller, and it will be more favorable for our frontal attack. ”

Qiao Youhua said: "It makes sense, go back and contact the Dragon Shadow Guard, let them reconnoiter carefully, and see if there is a chance to pick up our small elite troops and sneak into Tianjin City." Only in this way can we have the strength to attack the warships of the devils.

After all, Long Yingwei is not a real combatant, engaging in intelligence and playing assassination is their forte, and small-scale military operations such as sneak attacks on port warships are still the specialty of our regular field troops. ”

"Well, that makes sense, so let's hurry up." Left Authority.

"In order to boost morale, I decided to personally lead the first division to the front line in Tianjin to command the operation, and the guard regiment stayed, and you sat in Beiping City, chief of staff." Qiao Youhua decided.

"Okay, no problem. We still have 200,000 reinforcements on the way, so don't worry about the shortage of troops, just leave it to me here in Beiping. "Zuo Quandao.

…………

Tianjin, the temporary headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion of China.

Okamura Ninji was sitting precariously in the conference room, and the chief of the general staff of the front army, Mamoru Iizawa, suddenly walked in from outside, stood up and saluted him: "Your Excellency, good news has come from the front line, the two Chinese armies that launched an attack on the outer defense line of the imperial army from the west and south were forced to stop the attack because they were covered by the powerful fire of the imperial navy artillery group, and suffered heavy casualties, and retreated several kilometers in a hurry. ”

After speaking, Iizawa Mamoru couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha, with the strong fire support of the Imperial Navy's naval artillery group as the backing, this Tianjin City should be foolproof." ”

Okamura Ninji was not shocked on the surface, but he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if he relied on the powerful firepower of the naval fleet's naval artillery group, if he couldn't stop the continued advance of the dragon's tooth column, then he would really be helpless.

Calming down the joy in his heart, Okamura Ninji carefully instructed: "This is very good, but we can't let our guard down because of this, it is not difficult to see from the previous battles that our opponent is a team that is both extremely cunning and very tough!" If we slack off a little, we may give our opponents an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In addition to the strict defense of the outer line, we must also strengthen the garrison and vigilance in Tianjin, so as to prevent the Chinese agents lurking in the city from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos and cause unnecessary troubles and losses to the imperial army. ”

Iizawa Mamoru nodded to note it down, and added: "Oh, by the way, General, there is another good news, the commanders of the War Department of the base camp have called back, and they say that the second batch of reinforcements of the 50,000 Army is ready, and they will board ships and cross the sea in batches to Tianjin in the near future to support our battle."

It is expected that it will be possible to arrive in about a week at most. ”

"Yo Xi, great, if you can get reinforcements from 50,000 reinforcements, then Tianjin will be foolproof, and you will definitely be able to hold out until all the newly built army units arrive, and the defense will be the attack, and the defeat will be the victory!" When Okamura Ninji heard the news, he was overjoyed.

Iizawa Mamoru said: "The general is reasonable, and he also thinks so, and in addition to this good news, from several friends of the War Department in the base camp, he also received another news in favor of the entire army of the empire, that is, His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet have reached an agreement to reduce the various strategic resources of the navy by 25 percent to be used to arm and rebuild the new army of the imperial army.

The new army formed in the future will be a truly mechanized modern army, and it will have the corresponding weapons and equipment comparable to the tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and artillery equipped by the Dragon's Tooth Column in China. ”

"Really? Is this news true? Okamura Ninji was even happier and more excited than just now when he heard this, and asked twice.

Iizawa Mamoru nodded solemnly and said: "It is true that the Imperial Army's successive defeats in China have made the high-level of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor angry, and at the same time, it has also attracted their attention.

However, in North China, they were defeated by a dragon's tooth column, and the main reason for this was that the enemy army was equipped with advanced weapons and equipment that were far superior to our army.

If we can also be equipped with such advanced weapons and equipment, or even better than them, I believe that with the combat power of the imperial army, we can definitely turn defeat into victory and win back the lost dignity and glory! ”

"Well said, if the policy of the base camp can really be implemented smoothly, I don't think this day will be too late." Mamoru Iizawa's words can be said to have touched Okamura Ninji's heart and immediately resonated with him.
