After listening to the analysis of Ma Biao and Wu Ming, Qiao Youhua nodded, and then asked Jiang Haidong, who had been silent, "Haidong, what is your opinion?" ”

Jiang Haidong said: "What Wu Ming said makes sense, with our current strength and the situation in the entire surrounding area, it is not suitable to enter the Guanwai. The time is not yet ripe to regain the Northeast, so I suggest that we take the next step in accordance with the strategic objectives that we have originally set.

After recovering Pingjin, he immediately waved his army south to participate in the operation to recover Shandong and other parts of East China.

However, before that, we should first consolidate the defense of the area from Pingjin to Suiyuan, so we must take the area from Tongzhou to Shanhaiguan, especially Shanhaiguan, which can be operated as a major fortress to prevent the Kwantung Army from entering the customs southward and attacking Pingjin.

It makes it the north gate of Gongwei Pingjin. ”

Qiao Youhua nodded with a smile after hearing this: "Well, what Haidong said is exactly what I want, and when the battle in Tianjin is over, I will immediately transfer the tank armored brigade supplemented by one or two infantry regiments of A to form an advance corps to march into Tongzhou, Jixian, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao, and take Shanhaiguan!" ”

Ma Biao and Wu Ming saw Qiao Youhua's decision, and they also felt that Jiang Haidong's words were reasonable, so they nodded their heads and said no more, and the four founders of the Dragon Tooth Column made a decision on the strategic policy of resisting Japan in the future.

The battle in the direction of the Tianjin wharf continued, but no one expected that Okamura Ninji and Iizawa Mamoru who were seriously wounded, and the guards of his gate, with the cooperation of the Tianjin Japanese Special High Section, one hid in the American Concession in Tianjin, and the other through the secret underground passage of the Special High Section, and evacuated Tianjin as early as when the Dragon's Tooth Column attacked their field hospital.

The person who remained in the American concession was Okamura Ninji, and according to the meaning of the special high school, it was originally intended to smuggle both of them out and return to China or Manchuria for recuperation and treatment.

However, when he was about to leave, Okamura Ninji suddenly woke up and ordered his subordinates to stay in Tianjin in a weak voice, so the devil's special high school and the guards had no choice but to comply.

As for why Okamura Ninji stayed, even his personal guard ninja master Kijima Shaosa was puzzled, probably a complicated emotion that was difficult to let go of after losing this battle, right?!

To get back to the point, on the side of Tianjin Wharf, with the end of nearly an hour of fierce shelling, the nearly 100,000 troops of the Longya Column, led by several tank regiments, launched a final charge against the remnants of the Japanese and the puppet army.

In the face of the overwhelming charging momentum of the Dragon's Tooth Column, the puppet soldiers who had already been frightened by the fierce artillery fire just now, and suffered heavy losses, surrendered one after another, and without waiting for the Dragon's Tooth soldiers to rush to the front, they threw away their weapons, raised their hands and decisively chose to surrender.

The units of the Dragon's Tooth Column were able to advance rapidly, and without the puppet army as cannon fodder in front, the Japanese troops who were already bombarded did not even have the most basic preparation time, so they were pushed forward by the steel torrent of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and a fire was strafed, and then the devastating tank artillery group shelling covered it again.

The Japanese army had already suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties, and as the dragon's tooth infantry swarmed in, they rushed all the way, and nearly 10,000 Japanese troops were wiped out on the spot, and none of them escaped.

When the battle ended, the entire dock was already full of blood, corpses were everywhere, of course, most of the corpses were devils and puppet soldiers, this kind of overwhelming crushing battle, the casualties of the dragon's tooth column were minimal.

Successfully won the victory in the Battle of Tianjin, the whole city of Tianjin erupted in bursts of cheers, there were ordinary people, as well as the heroic anti-Japanese soldiers who fought bloodily for the rest of their lives, everyone was cheering for the victory, when the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out three years ago, Pingjin and even the whole of North China quickly fell.

Who would have thought that there would be today? And the day came so fast!

Therefore, the whole city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are immersed in the great joy of victory, even if the home has been destroyed by the war, but at this moment it is worth rejoicing, as long as the invaders are defeated, the home can still be rebuilt.

Liu Jianhua and others were dealing with the command of the troops to clean up the battlefield, clean up the corpses of the Japanese puppet army, and collect the surrendered puppet army, etc., when suddenly a herald came on horseback and ordered Liu Jianhua and others: "The headquarters order, the tank armored brigade, the 1st regiment of the 1st division, and the 2nd regiment, immediately assemble and form an advance corps to march to Tongzhou, Tangshan, Jixian and Qinhuangdao.

The ultimate goal is Shanhaiguan, where to capture and wait for the next instructions! ”

As soon as they heard that there was another battle, Liu Jianhua and Zhou Dasheng, Li Yunlong and others looked at each other, and couldn't help but show joy, Liu Jianhua smiled happily and said: "A few brothers, then Liu will go first, I am waiting for you to come to meet in Shanhaiguan, let's wave our division to the north, out of the customs, and regain the northeast!" ”

"Well, Brigade Commander Liu is careful all the way, and when we rest for a few days, we will definitely catch up." Li Yunlong said.

"I said Lao Liu, you took away the two infantry regiments of our first division, and this battle achievement can score half of us!" Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the First Division, joked with a smile.

"That's for sure, please rest assured that this Deputy Division Commander Liu." Liu Jianhua laughed.

Liu Jianhua and others thought that Qiao Youhua's purpose in doing this was to recover the Northeast in the future, so they said so.

However, in the long run, Qiao Youhua wants to seize Shanhaiguan, and he has indeed made a preparation in advance for entering the customs in the future and recovering the northeast, and there is no need to forcibly break through when the army leaves the customs in the future.

Moreover, because of the new defeat of the North China Front Army and the fact that the Kwantung Army had not yet reacted, Shanhaiguan was at the weakest point in defense.

Once, when the Kwantung Army reacted, it would definitely mobilize heavy troops to station in Shanhaiguan and its surrounding dangerous places, because it guarded the railway and highway lines, and it was the only way to enter the Western Liaoning Corridor.

At that time, if you want to take it back, it will not be so easy. Therefore, now is the best time to recover Shanhaiguan, and after it is recaptured, it can also serve as the first barrier for Beiping and Tianjin to guard against the Kwantung Army.

In addition, there are hundreds of miles of buffer zones in Shanhaiguan, Jixian, Qinhuangdao, Tongzhou, and Tangshan, and in case the Japanese Kwantung Army counterattacks from outside the Guanwai in the future, Pingjin will have a good time to deal with it.

The advance corps was soon assembled, and Liu Jianhua personally led them to go around the city directly from the northeast of Tianjin, and rushed to Tangshan and Tongzhou.

On the side of the headquarters, Wu Ming also said goodbye to Qiao Youhua: "Commander, since we have decided to cross the Yellow River south and march into Shandong and East China next, now that the battle in Tianjin has ended smoothly, I will not stay here, I want to go back immediately, return to the station as soon as possible, strengthen preparations, and make more preparations for his future march to the Jiaodong Peninsula!" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded happily and agreed: "Well, this is as it should be, but I am not in a hurry to leave immediately, tonight I will hold a victory meeting in Tianjin to reward the three armies and reward the meritorious soldiers, and it is not too late for you to drink a glass of celebration wine and leave!" ”

"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Wu Ming nodded.

Qiao Youhua looked at his three good brothers, stepped forward and patted them on the shoulder and said: "Our four brothers can have a good time tonight, today, we can proudly say that we are worthy of this military uniform on our bodies, and worthy of the honor that a Chinese soldier deserves!" We have achieved what we dreamed of, although our journey is far from over, but the recovery of Pingjin is worth celebrating! ”
