Chapter 1010: Destruction Bombardment
Thousands of shells of various sizes were fired all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was terrifying, and the next moment, a large explosion occurred in the entire pier and the surrounding area.
Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom ...... A deafening explosion rang out, followed by clouds of black smoke rising into the sky under the influence of the firelight.
In the midst of the fire and gunsmoke, only the devils and puppet soldiers who were covered by the simple fortifications that were built in a hurry were blown up and collapsed in an instant, and the stumps and broken arms and the ruins of the fortifications were blown up all over the sky.
Through the binoculars of some front-line commanders of the Dragon's Tooth Column, it can be clearly seen that in the monstrous flames and thick smoke, there are constantly devils and puppet soldiers who are blown up into the sky by the surging explosion shock wave, all kinds of stumps and broken arms that have been blown up, and internal organs and parts are wrapped in the shock wave like maple leaves and go in all directions.
Qiao Youhua and the three of them ended the plane operation, and after stepping off the plane, they took a military jeep together, escorted by a group of guards with loaded guns and live ammunition, and returned to their own headquarters in Wuqing Town.
Zuo Quan was busy commanding the front-line troops to launch the final encirclement and suppression, and did not come out to greet him, Qiao Youhua naturally did not get angry, and took Ma Biao, Jiang Haidong, and Wu Ming into the headquarters in a big stride.
"Commander, you're back?!" It wasn't until the guards guarding the door saluted loudly that Zuo Quan in the headquarters suddenly learned that Qiao Youhua and them had arrived, and hurriedly walked out of the conference room.
"Commander, you can be counted as coming, if you don't come, I will really be busy." After Zuo Quan met, he stepped forward and greeted him with great joy.
"Really? What's going on now? Qiao Youhua already knew that his troops had completely controlled the urban area of Tianjin, and were chasing the remnants of the fleeing Japanese puppet army in the direction of the east dock of the city, so he asked with a smile.
"The city is already under our absolute control, and there are only a few remnants of the Japanese in the city who are stubbornly resisting, and there are no big waves left, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out." Zuo Quan beckoned Qiao Youhua and them into the house, and introduced: "Now that our main forces are encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Japanese invaders who have escaped from the city in the east of the city, several deputy division commanders have also borrowed our heavy artillery brigades, and I estimate that it will not be long before the battle will be over." ”
In fact, generally speaking, as a force, the only way out is to lay down their arms and surrender in a desperate place such as a pier adjacent to the sea surrounded by enemy troops several times their size on three sides.
However, it was not the army of ordinary countries that was surrounded, but the Japanese invading army, which was deeply brainwashed by the spirit of bushido and the patriotic idea of loyalty to the monarch, and unless an officer took the lead, ordinary soldiers had no right and did not dare to surrender on their own initiative.
As we all know, the vast majority of the middle and low-level officers in the active forces of the Japanese invasion of China were fanatics who were loyal supporters of bushido and the Japanese emperor, and they would rather die in battle than surrender to any opponent, because they thought that surrendering in battle was humiliating and shameful, which was very similar to the dragon's tooth column.
What's more, the Dragon's Tooth Column has always adopted a policy of not accepting surrender to these inhumane and blood-indebted aggressors, killing one by one, and killing two and two until all the invaders who invaded China's territory and killed our Chinese compatriots were killed.
Therefore, even if the road is cut off and surrounded on three sides, this battle cannot be easily ended, and both sides must be endless, and only when one side is completely defeated and all are wiped out can this battle end.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Dasheng, Li Yunlong, Liu Yidao and several other main commanders on the front line did not have the idea of persuading them to surrender at all, and directly discussed concentrating the heavy firepower of the whole column to give the devils a devastating artillery cover blow, and then with tanks and armored vehicles as the lead, the infantry group charged up to clean up the remnants of the Japanese invaders, and wiped them out cleanly and completely!
After entering the war room of the headquarters, Zuo Quan instructed the orderly soldiers to pour a glass of boiling water for each of them, and said: "You really opened my eyes, you can really fly a plane, I really don't know what else in this world you can't do, but no matter what, because of your heroic performance."
We broke through the Japanese defense line ahead of schedule, recovered Tianjin, and won the Battle of Pingjin! This is gratifying, now this is handed over to you, I have to immediately bring a group of political backbone into the city, after the war, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, Tianjin has been devastated by the war, the people are displaced, the lives are devastated, there are too many things to deal with. ”
Qiao Youhua nodded happily and said: "It makes sense, the command has been handed over to me, Chief of Staff, you should quickly take people into the city, no matter what the cost is, you must basically ensure the normal daily life of Tianjin citizens, rescue the wounded, settle the displaced people, and make some preparations in advance for future reconstruction."
All in all, from now on, there must not be another case of civilians starving to death or freezing to death in Tianjin, and we must let the people know that we, the Communists and the Eighth Route Army, are their strongest backing, we have a bite to eat, and we will never let them go hungry!
is still the same sentence, how can it be said that there is no clothes and the same robe with the son! ”
Zuo Quan nodded solemnly and turned to leave.
Qiao Youhua picked up the boiling water cup, looked around at Jiang Haidong and them, and said: "Now that the Tianjin Battle can basically be said to be a victory curtain call, we can discuss the next strategy, is it to go north and go out of the pass, fight a decisive battle with the Japanese Kwantung Army, and recover the Northeast, or go south and cross the Yellow River to recover the Shandong Peninsula and East China?" Tell us what you think. ”
"In my opinion, we now have more than 100,000 troops, plus 200,000 reinforcements, all gathered in Pingjin, and the four eastern provinces are close at hand. Ma Biao put forward his own opinion.
Wu Ming said: "But, as far as I know, the little devil's Kwantung Army plus the puppet Manchukuo? The army, with a total strength of at least one million, is by no means comparable to the North China Front Army, and the four eastern provinces are connected to the Goryeo Peninsula, which is closer to the Japanese mainland, and it can obtain a steady stream of local materials and military support.
Even if we have an army of more than 300,000 people, with the momentum of a great victory, I am afraid it will be difficult to win in battle, and even if we win, it will be a miserable victory, which seems to be not good for us. When he said the last sentence, Wu Ming glanced at Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong meaningfully.
With this look, Qiao Youhua and they all instantly understood the meaning of Wu Ming's words, that is, there are not only Japanese devils in the Northeast, but the polar bears bordering them are also eyeing them, if they try their best to win the battle in the Northeast, their vitality is greatly damaged, but the polar bear jumps out at this time, it will be very bad.
