The importance of Tianjin, not only for North China, but also for the entire Central Plains, is also as described by its nickname "Jinmen", it is really a place where soldiers must fight.

Tianjin is located in the lower reaches of the Haihe River Basin, which is the confluence and estuary of the five major tributaries of the Haihe River, the South Canal, the North Canal, the Ziya River, the Daqing River and the Yongding River.

The dense network of rivers will certainly encounter transportation difficulties in the deployment of troops for large-scale military operations. And because of the various concessions left over from the historical problems in Tianjin, the warring parties did not know whether Lu Dao had a good heart, and neither of them focused on the battle in Tianjin, but chose the relatively remote plain near Haijiazhuang. In addition to the remaining troops of the 38th Division, there is also a wing sent by Tohihara's whimsical development. The other nearly 80,000 troops were all entangled in the vicinity of Haijiazhuang, and the density of the troops can be imagined.

After the artillery units of the 38th Division began to bombard fiercely according to the shooting Zhuyuan that had been marked long ago, the 108th Division, which had already lost its artillery units in the first round of confrontation, immediately became a tiger that fell into the plain, with a good pair of teeth, but it was unable to bite the 38th Division, which was close at hand.

The battle came to this point, not to mention how depressed Tu Feiyuan and others were, and how surprised the old devils of the Kwantung Army were - surprised that it was still a passable psychological quality, many old devils saw that Tu Feiyuan sent back the battle situation will be reported, and the first reaction is **, and then they gasp.

The Kwantung Army Command has always attached great importance to the collection of intelligence, and this is also the main reason why Tu Feiyuan, an old devil who was born in intelligence work, was able to transfer to the regular army as a division commander. In the past intelligence, the 38th Division was far from being so strong, it was a student army, and in the intelligence, it could only be regarded as a relatively tenacious force, and it was far from the strong army in the minds of the little devils.

But now, the 38th Division, which is weaker than the Cadet Army, has launched a counterattack that is even stronger than the Cadet Army, which has to make these old devils fall into deep reflection. This also made Nanjiro not impulsively put the two brigades that had been deployed in the east of the Wing immediately into the battlefield after receiving the telegram for help from Tsuchihara. As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Minamijiro's vision of the problem was obviously different from that of others, and it was still a matter of the butt deciding the head—he was not afraid that the movement would cause an uncontrollable situation, but he was worried that once he invested an overload of troops in North China, Jing'an in the three northeastern provinces would cause a shortage of troops. There is another question that he also has to consider, that is, how big is the strength hidden behind the 38th Division or the Cadet Army Group. There is no doubt that a military strategist like him (although Nanjiro's character is not good, but from a considerable point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a military strategist, hehe, I hope that you will not be angry and young), and now it is clear that even if the 38th Division is not a vassal of the Cadet Army, it is at least wearing a pair of pants. Not to mention anything else, in terms of combat style, the 38th Division can now highlight the brand of the Cadet Army everywhere.

If the defeat of the two battles of Wen'an can be explained by "bad luck", then this time the battle of Tianjin, luck alone is obviously not convincing.

While hesitating whether to cancel the action plan to punish Zhang Zizhong and the 38th Division, Nanjiro was still thinking about deeper questions, and he tried to think about whether the Battle of Tianjin was an opportunity for Japan, which had always wanted to annex all of China. If the 108th Division is completely annihilated this time, what kind of shocking effect will it bring to the Japanese political arena? Is it possible that the current miniature cabinet, which aims to preserve the status quo, will be replaced by a military regime? thought that once the military came to power, he and the Kwantung Army would undoubtedly get a bigger stage for performance, and at that time, it would become a natural thing to send troops to North China and even the whole of China......

Undoubtedly, the idea was tempting, and as soon as it appeared in Minamijiro's mind, he was deeply attracted to it, and then, under his quiet layout, the 108th Division gradually slipped into the pocket laid by the 38th Division.

After the connection with Takashu Kaichi was severed, looking at the artillery fire flying a mile away, Nakano and Tohihara felt weak for the first time. The fact that the once invincible army of the Japanese Empire was now overwhelmed by a local army was not only unforeseen by Kenji Dohihara, who aspired to become a great military strategist and strategist of a generation, but also that an old soldier like Nakano had completely lost his way.

"Let them evade it on the spot, our troops are divided into two steps, we each lead a brigade of troops, I will be left and right, and I will insert it diagonally from two times......" Tu Feiyuan took the lead in calming down, opened the military map and thought it carefully, he made such a strategic deployment.

The artillery unit of the 38th Division was too evil, and in the case of bullying the 108th Division without artillery and no aircraft, it actually used artillery fire to plow out a dividing line. Of course, he could also order the whole army to retreat at this time and choose an opportunity to fight again, but Minamijiro refused his request. Minamijiro has a very good reason, or he has always shown the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army, and in the order he sent to Tsuchihara, he believed that the 38th Division was a trapped beast and a return to the light......

"Division, Tufeiyuan has really divided the troops," in the temporary headquarters of the 38th Division, a staff officer shouted to Zhang Zizhong excitedly.

Zhang Zizhong's face had been tense, and at this time he was rarely relaxed, and he smiled: "It took three base shells, if Tu Feiyuan still doesn't divide the troops, then it's time for us to find a place to wipe our tears." Turning to look up at the military map on the wall, he asked, "Has the 113th Brigade and the 114th Brigade arrived at the designated location?" ”

"Yes."

"Then the next step should be for Huang Weigang and them to withdraw, well, Gao Shu Jiayi, that little devil was not scared, right?"

"Not really, but there aren't many people left in his two wings, and the mines provided by the Cadet Army are too useful," the young staff officer grinned, looking at Li Tieshu and Zhang Zhen with a particularly friendly look.

"Stop the shelling, we're not a cadet army, just a little furniture in total, don't run out at once, then you won't have to play anymore."

"Yes!" The young staff officer walked to the telephone, and a little later he conveyed Zhang Zizhong's order to the artillery unit.
