After discussion, Qiao Youhua decided to send Jiang Haidong to lead an elite small force of about 30 people, disguised as the city's Dragon Shadow Guard's agents, to infiltrate Tianjin City.

After making a decision, Jiang Haidong personally went to each regiment under his command to select suitable personnel and prepare the most advanced weapons and equipment for them.

The Dragon Shadow Guard, who was secretly operating in Tianjin City, also under the command and deployment of Wan Hu, divided the troops and began to get busy.

First of all, Long Yingwei used the contacts accumulated on weekdays to buy off some of the puppet troops in the defenders of the city and outside the city, and Jiang Haidong's elite team will pass through their defense area.

Secondly, Long Yingwei began to use various forces to frequently reconnoiter the deployment of Japanese troops in Tianjin and the defense and garrison inside and outside the harbor.

…………

After nightfall, the entire city of Tianjin was shrouded in darkness, and in order to conserve strategic resources and just in case, the Japanese army imposed material control and curfew in Tianjin. Including firewood, rice, oil, salt, water, and electricity are all within the scope of control.

Therefore, once it falls into the night, except for some special areas, such as the concession and the headquarters of the Japanese army at all levels, most of the entire Tianjin urban area is black-lit and dark.

On the streets, there are only groups of Japanese puppet army patrols and gendarmerie policemen who walk back and forth with guns on their backs.

In the general command post of the Japanese army, the lights were bright, and the conference room was crowded.

Okamura Ninji and Mamoru Iizawa summoned all officers at the rank of wing commander and above for another military deployment meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the latest news, the 50,000 new reinforcements of the imperial army have entered the Bohai Sea and will arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest.

Under the cover of the powerful naval artillery of the imperial army and the firepower of sea-based and land-based aviation, the Chinese army still had no power to fight back.

Therefore, our defense line is safe for the time being, and once reinforcements arrive, our strength will be greatly strengthened, and then we can choose the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, recapture the lost defense line of the Imperial Army, and fight to the death with the Chinese army! ”

Iizawa Mamoru added in time: "But tonight, all of our troops must be vigilant in case the Shina army attacks at night again, and the loss of the outer defense line is the best example and a painful lesson."

During the day, the Chinese army was afraid of the threat of the Imperial Navy's naval guns and aerial firepower, and it was difficult for them to do anything, and launching attacks at night became their only effective mode of warfare.

Therefore, we must be extra vigilant, especially in the direction of Majiazhuang Airport outside the city, and it is not ruled out that they will send troops to attack the airport of the imperial army in order to eliminate the threat of the imperial army's land-based aviation to them, do you understand? ”

Several brigade commanders and division commanders bowed their heads and said in unison: "Hai, I understand my humble duties. ”

…………

In the southeast of Tianjin, in the courtyard of an inconspicuous European-style three-story building in the British Concession, it was pitch black, without any lights, and it looked as if it was empty.

In fact, in the courtyard at night, there were more than a dozen black-clad men armed with submachine guns and Mauser pistols, guarding behind the courtyard gate and courtyard wall, all with vigilant expressions and cautious expressions.

This is the largest contact point of Long Yingwei in Tianjin, and it is also the temporary residence of Wan Hu, the second-in-command of Long Yingwei.

On weekdays, in order to avoid the search and pursuit of the Japanese special high school, Wan Hu set his headquarters of Long Yingwei in general mobility, and often changed places in the French Concession, the British Concession, the Belgian Concession and other foreign concessions, which can be said to have no fixed residence.

Originally, with the relationship between the Dragon's Tooth Column and the Germans, it stands to reason that Long Yingwei's headquarters in Tianjin should be located in the German Concession, but since the end of World War I, the Germans have abandoned their original concession in Tianjin after accepting the terms of the Versailles Treaty.

The consulate only set up here has a far less sphere of influence than the Western powers, such as the British Concession and the French Concession, which merged with the American Concession, and there is no room for maneuver.

Therefore, Wan Hu and his senior leaders of the Dragon Shadow Guard were mostly secretly developing and operating in several major concessions such as Britain and France.

Under this three-story building, there is an underground secret room with a size of about 90 square meters, for the sake of safety, there is also an escape passage the size of a person in the secret room, which leads directly to the underground drainage pipe system in Tianjin, which can be used by Wan Hu and others to evacuate when the situation is critical.

At this moment, Wan Hu and several other major leaders of the Dragon Shadow Guard were discussing in the secret room how to receive the elite team outside the city into the city.

Six or seven people sat around an oval-shaped black conference table, Wan Hu, dressed in a black riding coat, trousers, and black cloth shoes, sat in the first place, and on his left hand sat a man dressed in a black power suit, carrying a brand-new Mauser pistol imported from Germany on his left and right waists.

This person is none other than the number one henchman who followed Wan Hu to build Long Yingwei, Xiao Wu, at this moment he has become the second person in Long Yingwei in Tianjin after Wan Hu, of course, he himself is also very skilled, and has made many contributions in previous espionage and assassination operations.

Wan Hu put his hands on the table, his eyes swept over Xiao Wu and several other important subordinates with a calm and powerful gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Now my dragon tooth column army is coming to the city, aiming to recover Tianjin and rescue Tianjin's fathers and elders from fire and water.

As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days is a time to use soldiers, and whether it is financial resources, inability or other support on weekdays, the commander has never been less than us.

Now it's time to do our part. ”

A long-faced leader said confidently: "Director, just say something, all the internal and external personnel of our Long Yingwei in Tianjin are added together, not to mention that there must be 10,000 people, all over all walks of life, what should we do?" ”

"Now our attacking forces have been stubbornly blocked by the enemy, and the enemy's naval guns and air power pose the greatest threat to our army, so the commander decided to first find a way to attack the warships and ships anchored in the harbor by the devils, and destroy them as much as possible, so as to weaken the enemy's threat and plan for the ......attack of our main army."

Before Wan Hu's words were finished, a leader with a resolute face and cold eyes rushed to speak: "Head, then what are we waiting for, we have a lot of manpower, and it is not trivial to attack the port?" ”

Xiao Wu stood up and said: "Old Ma, don't be so impulsive, do you know, how many troops did the little devil deploy near the military port?" And there is now a curfew and martial law in place in Tianjin.

There are devils and puppet armies and gendarmerie patrols everywhere, and if we really gather so many people, I am afraid that we will soon attract the attention of the devils.

When the time comes, I am afraid that if I can't even get close to the port, I will be surrounded by devils. ”

"Well, Xiao Wu is right, the devil and the second devil are now practicing martial law in the city, and we want to gather people as usual, I'm afraid it won't work, besides, our people are all over all walks of life, three religions and nine streams, and there is definitely no way to find out the news.

But if it is really used to attack the military port heavily defended by the devils, it will be a bit of an egg hitting a stone. Moreover, it is a bit impractical to attack the military port with a large number of people, and the probability of a successful sneak attack by a small force is a little higher. The other leader, who was in charge of intelligence and looked more composed, nodded.

Wan Hu glanced at him approvingly and said: "Lao Wang is right, so the commander decided to send an elite team to secretly infiltrate Tianjin City, our task is to receive them into the city, and cooperate with them to attack the military port. ”
