Chapter 1009: Recovering Tianjin

"Well, I hope so! Be careful! Zuo Quan nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately shouted to the herald behind him: "Pass my order, all divisions, regiments, and all departments directly under the column immediately launch a full-scale onslaught, and without an order, you are not allowed to stop the attack!" Finish its work in one battle to completely recover Tianjin City! Annihilate the Japanese invaders in the city! ”

"Yes!" The herald straightened his body, and immediately turned around and ran away like the wind.

Soon, the Confidential Department quickly transmitted this order to all departments of the Dragon's Tooth Column through radio and telephone.

After receiving the order, the various units of the Dragon's Tooth Column, which were fighting against the Japanese in the city, were greatly boosted in morale and strengthened their attacks.

At the same time, Zuo Quan ordered the mobilization of more than 100,000 reinforcements from various units of the Eighth Route Army, which had already arrived one after another, to immediately step forward and put them into the battlefield.

At this point, the troops used by the Eighth Route Army to attack the city have reached more than 200,000 troops, and of course, more than 100,000 dragon tooth columns are still at the forefront.

The reinforcements were basically reserves, and more of them were responsible for transporting their own wounded and ammunition.

Half an hour later, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong refilled the fighter planes with fuel and ammunition, and then took off again, this time, they went straight to the direction of the Tianjin Military Port Wharf.

Also almost instantly, on the dock, Qiao Youhua and the others happened to encounter a Japanese transport fleet that was transporting recruits to Tianjin, and without hesitation, their four fighters swooped down like eagles that had found their prey.

The two fighters at the head opened fire on the Japanese transport fleet and some of the devil recruits who had already gone ashore.

For a while, the gunshots rang out, and the bullets rained down, and the devils who couldn't dodge screamed and fell down.

Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming drove two bombers to follow, and the bombardier threw the bombs one after another, which blew up the little devil's boat, and the sea was full of waves, and from time to time some devil soldiers were blown out.

In just a few minutes, after the back and forth dive and strafing of the two fighters and the bombing of the two bombers, the Japanese transport ship on the pier was sunk and two-thirds of it was destroyed, and the number of dead and wounded exceeded several hundred.

The whole wharf was full of fires, gunsmoke was filled, a mess, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder quickly spread to the surroundings, which was disgusting.

Qiao Youhua's four-man fighter plane did not rush back to the sea, but continued to shoot at the pier and those devils who jumped into the sea and tried to escape with their on-board machine guns and aerial guns.

The dense fire ploughed down the ground in general back and forth, and the devils could not escape at all, and they were beaten into a puddle of minced meat by the powerful and astonishing rate of fire of the course machine guns or machine gun shells.

At the same time, because the Japanese army headquarters was wiped out by Qiao Youhua and them, the Japanese army units in Tianjin lost their unified and effective command and fell into the danger of fighting their own battles.

As the Dragon's Tooth Column intensified its attack, the Japanese army's defenses were gradually broken through, especially at the junction between their various defense areas, and because of the lack of effective coordinated defense, some of the attacking units of the Dragon's Tooth Column were the first to break through.

The Dragon's Tooth Column was worried that there were too many troops and there was no place to use it, and when there was a breakthrough, they immediately mobilized more troops to rush forward, and the troops divided the way, rushing and fighting all the way, and the tanks were also transferred, crushing and covering the infantry charge all the way, and not even giving the devil a chance to counterattack.

The breakthrough was quickly expanded to the point that the devil could not be recovered, and soon, the devil's defense line collapsed completely, and the dragon's tooth column took advantage of the situation to pursue the whole line, all the way like a bamboo, and everywhere it went, the Japanese puppet army was completely annihilated.

Occasionally, some cunning and stubborn devils hid in civilian houses, and were also annihilated on the spot by the Dragon's Tooth Column that arrived later with heavy firepower such as tanks, artillery, and general-purpose machine guns.

Of course, some innocent people will inevitably be harmed in the process, but this is helpless, because whether it is a battle to defend the city or a battle to recover, it is inevitable that there will be casualties among our own civilians.

In the final analysis, this is still a war imposed on us by the Japanese devils, an abominable war fought on our own soil, and this blood debt should all be counted on the heads of the evil Japanese devils.

When Qiao Youhua and the others completed their air raids and bombardments on the docks of Tianjin Military Port, wiped out at least nearly 500 Japanese troops, sank and blew up 23 enemy transport ships, and began to return home.

The entire Tianjin urban area has been fully triumphed, the dragon tooth column is like a bamboo, all the way to pursue and crush, the remnants of the Japanese invaders killed have no power to fight back, outside the city originally served as a reserve of 100,000 Eighth Route Army reinforcements took advantage of the situation to enter the city, consolidated the results of the dragon tooth column, firmly controlled the recovered city in their hands, and was responsible for the city due to the war between the two sides of the fire, destroyed the people's houses.

Search and rescue the buried or injured people, and reduce the loss of life and property of the civilian people as much as possible.

During this period, as Qiao Youhua expected, although the Japanese land-based air forces in Jinzhou, Huludao and other directions repeatedly received urgent telegrams for help from the remnants of the Japanese army in Tianjin, they chose to refuse to take off because they could not contact their top bosses Okamura Ningji and Mamoru Iizawa.

As a result, the Japanese troops in Tianjin were not able to wait for their own air support until they were driven out of the city by the Dragon's Tooth Column, and their morale was even more damaged.

However, when the devil was driven out of the city and fled in the direction of the dock to the east, Qiao Youhua and the others had already completed the replenishment of fuel and ammunition again, and took off and flew over the pier in the fighter plane again.

Seeing this, some Japanese transport and frigate ships that had not been sunk by Qiao Youhua and his plane turned around and ran, completely ignoring that there were still at least 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese troops fleeing in the direction of the dock one after another.

After the Japanese ships fled, Qiao Youhua and others did not set up planes to pursue, but sank and destroyed all the remaining large and small ships on the dock, some military and civilian vessels, or fishing boats.

In this way, at least 30,000 Japanese troops and tens of thousands of puppet troops were completely cut off from retreat, and they were surrounded by more than 100,000 high-spirited dragon's tooth elites in the area of the seaside wharf with a radius of less than five kilometers.

The first to chase out of the city was the infantry, and the front-line commanders did not rush to attack after learning that the rear route of the Japanese puppet army had been cut off and that it was impossible to escape. Instead, he ordered all the tank units that were still in the city to be transferred in one go.

This was not the end, after several deputy division commanders and commanders of the main force regiment discussed together, they felt that the use of tanks and infantry alone could still pay too many casualties, so they asked the left power of the headquarters and transferred the artillery regiments directly under their divisions and the 105mm howitzer heavy artillery brigades directly under the columns.

In this way, the Dragon's Tooth Column concentrated more than thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers and hundreds of tank fighting vehicles, unleashing unprecedented fire coverage within a five-kilometer radius of the pier.

Thousands of cannons fired in a salvo, how spectacular? How powerful is it? The flames were not too much to describe as covering the sky and the sun, and with a piercing scream, they smashed towards the area controlled by the Japanese puppet army.

The next moment was the rumbling sound produced by the violent explosion like the sky and the earth cracking, like thunder, one after another, the sound shook the sky, shaking the sky and the earth!
