In the early morning of January 1, 1941, Nanpaihe Town in the south of Tianjin was full of people, because the Japanese puppet army had already withdrawn to Tianjin before the troops arrived, so Ma Jiayuan and others just conducted a simple search here and began to order the troops to board the ship.

Nanpaihe Town is located 20 kilometers south of Tianjin, is a harbor-type town with the sea, there is a small port in the town, usually fishing boats dock here, the Japanese patrol boats and warships generally cannot reach here, so Ma Jiayuan chose this place as the boarding point of the troops.

After nearly a week of collection, the 1st Brigade of the 300th Division has collected a total of more than 600 large and small ships, the larger ones are iron-clad merchant ships, which can fit the strength of a company, and the smaller ones are those large fishing boats, which can only fit one platoon, but the more than 600 large and small boats are still very powerful, and all the three infantry regiments of the 1st Brigade can fit them.

However, because this is a beach-rushing landing, and it is a rapid beach-grabbing landing, it cannot carry heavy weapons, and at most it can bring a few mortars and grenadiers. Therefore, in order to strengthen the firepower of the troops, Ma Jiayuan and Yang Chengwu asked for more than 500 submachine gunners, but these submachine gunners were all sent by the military region headquarters to carry out special tasks, and they did not belong to the integrated 300th Division.

In addition, in order to ensure the suddenness of this beach-rushing landing, Ma Jiayuan did not bring any other arms of the brigade, except for the infantry, he did not bring any artillery, cavalry, and engineers, but brought a squad of special forces. Of course, the integrated 300th Division is now qualified to have a small number of special forces, so under Yang Chengwu's repeated applications, Han Yunhua equipped the independent 77th Division and the integrated 300th Division with a special forces squadron, and the number of each special operations squadron is 217. As for the others, there is no such treatment, only Xu Shiyou, Li Dayong and others always say that Han Yunhua is biased behind their backs.

This special operations team is shouldering a very critical mission, and they have already set off before Ma Jiayuan and others get on the ship, and the task of this special operations team is to deal with the two Japanese warships. Although the two Japanese warships were only very small frigates, the largest displacement was only 4,000 tons, which was not worth mentioning compared to the battleships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons at every turn. But even these two warships were behemoths for the Chinese army at this time, and those fishing boats and merchant ships did not need to be bombarded by warships at all, and only needed a direct collision of warships to send all fishing boats and merchant ships to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, Ma Jiayuan can only find a way to solve these two warships first, and then he can do the next task.

However, it was not very difficult to deal with two small warships, and Han Yunhua gave them a very successful example during the first Battle of Wuhan. Since there were hardly any Chinese navies in the whole of North China, the only thing the Japanese navy had to guard against here was the Soviet Far East Fleet. But now the Soviet Union itself is threatened by Hitler's army all the time, how can it still have the energy to go to war with Japan, so the Japanese navy here is the only one, that is, the hegemon of the sea, and there is nothing here that is enough to pose a threat to them. Therefore, whether it is the warships close to the port of Tianjin, or the naval ships stationed in Korea, Lushun, and even the Japanese island, they are very lax, and as long as they do not get close to the coast, there will be absolutely no danger.

But today it was different, a group of ghostly teams were driving a small wooden boat towards the Japanese warship in the distance, although the dark sea was endless, and a small wooden boat less than ten meters long almost looked like a small grass on the vast grassland, and it did not attract any attention at all. Moreover, except for the thirty or so soldiers in black tight-fitting water support, there was not even a single automatic device on the small wooden boat, and the Japanese radar had almost no effect on the small wooden boat, but the bright lights on the warship pointed out the target for the soldiers of these special combat teams.

When the two warships were still five kilometers away, the squad leader of the special combat team ordered all the fighters to go to sea, leaving only one soldier to stay in the small boat to watch the boat, ready to receive them back. The distance of five kilometers is a test for anyone, but these soldiers are all specially selected by Han Yunhua for special operations elites, which are specially used to perform water missions, and the least of these soldiers have participated in more than two training camps, and they are the real elites of Han Yunhua's department, so this time Ma Jiayuan has great confidence and expectations for them. …,

Swimming in the ocean is definitely different from swimming in a river, and swimming in the sea is more physically demanding. Because the waves in the sea are bigger. Although I often have to do 10,000-meter swimming training during training camps, it's hard to say whether I can complete the 5,000-meter distance in the sea.

But these special combat members really did not disappoint Ma Jiayuan, they swam fast in the first four thousand meters, and at the same time, they did not stick to the form. But in the last thousand meters, these special operators became extremely cautious, because the closer they got to the Japanese warship, the more likely they were to be spotted, and the searchlight streaked across the sea from time to time, and the naval patrol officers walking back and forth on the warship were likely to spot them.

800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters, Liu Guoying, the leader of the special combat team, finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the team members swam to the bottom of the warship, it would be safe. Because the bottom surface of the warship is relatively narrow, and the deck is relatively wide, as long as you reach the bottom deck of the ship, the Japanese troops will not be able to find them.

For Liu Guoying, this is a challenge, although Ma Jiayuan had explained to them before the war that this mission is very dangerous, once discovered by the Japanese army, then their team will not have any hope of survival even if they complete the mission, because this time they will blow up the two warships stranded by the Japanese army in the port of Tianjin at all costs, and when the warship explodes and sinks, it will produce a huge whirlpool, which will bring all the creatures close to the warship into the bottom of the sea, Therefore, it is indeed a problem to blow up these two warships and make all the team members come back safely.

Although they carried special time bombs before coming this time, although the time bombs have a delay effect, their power is limited, and the hull of a warship is generally above 150mm, and the front deck may reach more than 300mm, so it is impossible to sink a warship with a few small time bombs, so when they came this time, each person carried 20 kilograms of explosives, and the feeling of swimming under the sea with 20 kilograms of explosives is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear. By now, Liu Guoying and others are exhausted, but the task has only just begun.

The Japanese warships were still brightly lit, and although a pot of porridge had now been reached in Tianjin, the Japanese Navy on the warships still looked like they were singing and dancing, and the two naval captains did not order the two warships to make any combat preparations. Although this does not say what the quality of the Japanese naval officers was, it can be seen that the Japanese navy was indeed very arrogant; since they "tried their courage" to wipe out the Beiyang Fleet, which was the sixth largest in the world and the largest in Asia at that time, the Japanese navy was the leader in the entire East Asian region, and the Japanese navy was far behind in naval construction of any country.

Now they have almost sent the powerful US Pacific Fleet to the bottom of the sea, and even the Philippine Islands, which are imprisoned by the Americans, have all been occupied, so the arrogance of the Japanese Navy at this time can be imagined. Although the army in North China was losing ground one after another, the Japanese navy did not think that the Chinese army could do anything to them.

In fact, the two Japanese soldiers on the warship also wanted to support the battle ahead, but just like the Chinese army could not go to the sea, his naval warship could not go ashore, and the few marines who were left had been sent to the city, all they could do was to evacuate the remaining people to a safe place after the defeat of the Yoshikawa people, or wait until the final victory of the battle of Yoshikawa's subordinates, and escort the merchant ships in the port to return to Japan smoothly and send the plundered raw materials and materials to Japan.

But what they didn't expect was that just under their warship lurked a group of deadly Grim Reapers, who fixed time bombs to the side hull of the warship, and next to them were a large number of explosive packets, which would explode once the time bombs exploded. Moreover, according to the design of the Japanese warship, this place is generally where the ammunition depot of the warship is located, and once the ammunition depot is hit, let alone a warship, even an aircraft carrier will not be able to withstand such a blow.

Liu Guoying made an "ok" gesture to the players, of course, this gesture was "invented" by Han Yunhua, which means that it has been completed, and the other team members quickly replied with the same gesture.

Then Liu Guoying made another retreat gesture, but this time there was almost no response from the soldiers, at this time Liu Guoying was shocked, he knew that the soldiers had reached the limit of their physical strength, and they could no longer complete the five-kilometer journey back, and now it was the time when it was cold, their bodies were almost frozen, and it was impossible to return now. …,

In fact, he had already expected the ending when he accepted this mission, after all, swimming in the sea at this time is not fun, ten kilometers back and forth is almost impossible to complete the limit test of the human body, they are not supermen, they are just ordinary warriors, they know what they can accomplish, what they can't accomplish, what tasks are completed but have to pay the price of life.

But they still came, for the sake of the country and the nation, and for the sake of the thousands of ordinary people in North China, they knew that this was a lifeless task, but they still came without hesitation. As a soldier they did their duty, and although they also had an attachment to the world, they embarked on this road of no return for irresistible reasons.

Liu Guoying's eyes moistened, and he looked at the dark shadows far or near, although the dark night and the dark sea could hardly see the subtle expressions on the faces of every soldier, but he could feel the most sincere feelings of no soldier.

Liu Guoying settled his thoughts, moved his body that was about to freeze, and then pointed to a warship on the side and made a grabbing gesture, and at the same time made a few quick gestures.

A veteran next to him looked at Liu Guoying in surprise, then shook his head, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the veteran next to him.

Liu Guoying was silent, what he meant just now was that he would leave the guard explosive bag and time bomb, and if the seizure of the warship was unsuccessful, he would immediately detonate the explosive bag to prevent it from being dismantled by the Japanese navy. However, the veteran did not agree to him as the captain to stay, saying that he was also responsible for the safety of the entire special combat team, and the veteran himself was alone, and he and his brother were willing to stay.

Liu Guoying didn't understand that no matter whether the warship was snatched or not, the two veterans who stayed under the two warships had absolutely no hope of survival, because one of the two warships had to be blown up and sunk, and the distance between the two warships was too close, and although the huge whirlpool would not overturn the other, it would definitely pull the two veterans to the bottom of the sea, so staying was equivalent to death.

The veteran knew Liu Guoying's hesitation, he pointed to Tianjin City in the distance, meaning to tell Liu Guoying that the troops inside and outside Tianjin were still waiting for them, and urged Liu Guoying and others to hurry up and get on the ship and seize the Japanese warship.

With tears in his eyes, Liu Guoying swam with the remaining thirty or so team members towards the other smaller warship, leaving only the resolute veteran

Ma Jiayuan did not wait for the news of Liu Guoying and others and set off with his troops, because he knew that this beach-rushing landing would have to be carried out regardless of whether Liu Guoying and others could succeed in blowing up the two warships of the Japanese army. In addition, there was news from the Henan battlefield that Okamura Ningji's tactic of using the golden cicada to get out of the shell had already asked Xue Yue's troops to block it, and he would be able to enter the Shanxi region in two weeks.

The Third Army of the Kwantung Army has broken through the containment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the whole army is facing the Shanhaiguan and is facing off against Bao Sen's headquarters across the pass, and the casualties on both sides are very large.

According to reliable intelligence, the reinforcements transferred by the Japanese army from China are about to arrive, so the war in North China must not be delayed any longer, and if it is responsible, it will not be a unilateral massacre by the Chinese army, but a decisive battle for the main forces of both sides, which is not a good thing for either the Nationalist Government or the Communist Party. Therefore, it is imperative to seize the beach and land and capture Tianjin. It is good for the special forces to succeed, but if they fail, they must also be carried out.

Responsible for the defense of the port of Tianjin is the captain of the Japanese Marine Corps Ueno Jiro Osa, although Ueno Jiro was born in the Marine Corps, but the soldiers under his command are not only the Marine Corps, the defense of the entire Tianjin port is one of the most important defense work in the entire Tianjin City.

Because the port of Tianjin is one of the few natural and excellent seaports in North China, the Japanese army regarded this place as a distribution center for materials, and all the materials plundered from the occupied areas were concentrated here, and all the strategic materials transported from Japan were transported from here to various battlefields, so the importance of Tianjin was not worse than that of Beiping.

The Japanese army also did a good job of defending the port of Tianjin, although there was only one brigade of guards here, but in fact there were a full 2,500 regular Japanese troops stationed here. In addition to the elite of a thousand marines, there is a full-fledged infantry brigade and a military police of more than 300 men. …,

At this time, Ueno was in an extremely bad mood, and like Lieutenant General Yoshikawa, the unfavorable news of the battle outside the castle seriously affected Ueno, a pure nationalist. In Ueno's view, these stupid armies were simply wasting the precious military funds of the Empire, and if all the armies were to be cut and a large number of marines were formed, how could a peasant army in China compete with the great Japanese Empire, and the performance of the army was really blushing.

Looking at the order just sent, Ueno had a nameless anger and scolded Yoshikawa for being a stupid pig. Fifty or sixty thousand people were beaten by the Chinese troops in just four hours, and even began to let his coastal defense troops go to reinforce them.

But anger is anger, and Ueno still knows a little about Lieutenant General Yoshikawa, and knows that Yoshikawa is not a person without a purpose. It must have been that the firepower of the Chinese army was indeed too fierce, and the troops defending the city were about to be unable to hold it before they let his marines take it. It has only been less than four hours since the start of the battle, and it is obvious that Yoshikawa has no troops in his hands, which can only show that the attack of the people of China is far sharper than that of ordinary troops, and their marines are nothing more than trying to deal a hard blow to the arrogance of the people of China and block the momentum of the advance of the people of China. Therefore, although he was very reluctant, Ueno still ordered the marines to immediately rush to Xicheng District to garrison and deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Shina.

Ueno Osa judged very correctly, to be honest, Yoshikawa does have reserves in his hands, and there are quite a few of them, and the reserves of more than 10,000 people are almost useless, but according to the battle reports from the front, even if the reserves of more than 10,000 people are all sent out, it will not be of much use, and the Chinese army is pouring in like a tide, and it is impossible to kill. Knock down a rear but there are more Zhina troops, and the defenders in Tianjin City Imperial Association Army accounted for the largest proportion, so in this case, many Imperial Association troops not only do not shoot, but also turn against each other when they are in a hurry, two hours ago, due to the rough attitude of the Japanese commander on the front line, ordered an infantry regiment of the Imperial Association Army to act as cannon fodder, which eventually caused the collective resistance of the Imperial Association Army infantry regiment, which in turn caused the collective rebellion of an infantry division of the Imperial Association Army in Xicheng District, with the help of these Imperial Coordination Army, The Chinese army soon occupied all the fortifications in Xicheng District, and Xicheng District became the first opening for the Chinese army to open the overall defense of Tianjin.

And the offensive strength and advance speed of the Chinese army are also amazing, if you don't kill the prestige of the Chinese army, not to mention that you can't suppress these imperial alliance troops, I'm afraid that even those recruits under your command will surrender to the Chinese army at that time, so Yoshikawa Neiren had to order Ueno's army special forces to enter the second line of defense in Xicheng District to block the ...... of the Chinese army,
