Regarding the attack on the Japanese military police, Wang Kemin, Wang Jitang, and even Qi Yuan all had their own ideas, and Wang Kemin believed that this matter must have been done by the Chinese special combat team that Wang Jitang had ordered to lurk in Beiping City, and Wang Jitang hoped to curry favor with Han Yunhua's subordinates. Because in yesterday's attack, only his Wang Jitang's home was not attacked, which is enough to show that even if Wang Jitang is not the mastermind of this matter, he will definitely not be able to get out of it.

And Wang Jitang thought the opposite of Wang Kemin, Wang Jitang thought that all this was a scene played by Wang Kemin and Han Yunhua, the purpose of course was to blame him, and finally save Wang Kemin's net worth. He felt that he was wronged, and if people didn't come to attack his house, he would become a suspect, which didn't mean anything at all. In addition, although Wang Kemin's house was also attacked, the Wang family did not suffer any losses, and even the old man who guarded the gate was not injured, which obviously cannot be compared with the casualties of the entire squadron of the Japanese army, which is very unreasonable, which is enough to show that the attack on the Wang family itself was a scam, and the victims were only the Japanese family. As for Wang Kemin and Wang Kemin's traitor family, there were almost no losses, but the people of his faction suffered a lot of losses, and even several people died in his brother-in-law's family, so it was judged that this was a trick staged by Wang Kemin to frame blame.

However, Wang Kemin and Wang Jitang did not say these words, because it is too late to say anything, and the Japanese will not listen to their explanations. Now that the Japanese army is already a mud bodhisattva, it is difficult to protect itself, and the best way now is to get in touch with Han Yunhua's department of the Eighth Route Army, and even if the city is broken, there will be room for maneuver. If you don't say anything, it will be a big loss if you are suppressed in the name of traitors, and you have not had time to enjoy the great thanks of so many gold, silver, jewelry, property, fertile land and beauties in the past few years

Therefore, under the deliberate proximity of the CCP's underground organization, Wang Jitang soon got in touch with the CCP's underground organization, and the two sides had preliminary contact, and Wang Jitang also revealed some relatively low-value information about the Japanese puppet army to the CCP's underground organization, and the two sides fought hotly for a while.

And when Wang Jitang was in contact with the CCP's underground organization, the CCP secretly revealed the information provided by Wang Jitang to Wang Kemin. Wang Kemin is also a good person, with the current strength of the Japanese army to see that it is almost impossible to keep North China, although from the perspective of the big picture, the Japanese army still has an absolute advantage, I heard that the Japanese are fighting very well in Southeast Asia, and even the powerful United States and Britain have been defeated by the Japanese.

However, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, it cannot solve the current chaos in North China. With the current situation of the Japanese army, not to mention the recovery of North China, it is unknown whether even Shandong can be saved, although their actions have been restricted during this time, but their news is still very well-informed, and they should know that they have received the news in a very short time.

The practitioner is Junjie, and now the Japanese army has become a grasshopper after the autumn, at least the Japanese army in North China can't get up, so these traitors have also begun to look for a way back for themselves. To be honest, the Chinese hate them to the core, and they can't wait to pick their skins, and they already have this consciousness before they became traitors. But what they didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly, that one of the Japanese troops in Nuoda would be so defeated by the Tuba Road that they could not find the north, and that the North China Front, which had been flaunting its might in the past, was about to be driven out of the sea in less than two months.

Wang Jitang surrendered to the Eighth Route Army and Han Yunhua's subordinates, Wang Kemin can still understand, although they have contradictions, but in addition to their interests, they are all people all the way, and they smell the same. Although the two of them usually fight to the death, they can understand each other's feelings at this time. …,

But understanding is understanding, which does not mean that Wang Kemin will be indifferent and wait for Wang Jitang to kill him. At this time, Wang Kemin also began to arrange a counterattack, and like Wang Jitang, they did not ask the Japanese army for help, or went to Tada Jun to complain, but chose to contact the CCP together.

Wang Kemin and Wang Jitang have the same idea, although the CCP treats traitors and lackeys very ruthlessly, but the CCP is still more credible, as long as they promise to let them live, then they will have a chance to make a comeback. Isn't there still a little devil in the south when the little devils in North China fall, as long as they keep their lives, losing some dignity and money is nothing.

While Wang Kemin and Wang Jitang were actively in contact with the Chinese Communists, Xu Shiyou's subordinates also made the final preparations for the attack on Beiping City. The city is full of places of interest and historical buildings, including the Forbidden City, the symbol of the pinnacle of centralized power in China's feudal empire.

Therefore, the central government ordered that Xu Shiyou's troops should especially protect these precious historical relics when attacking Beiping, so as to minimize the damage to Beiping City during the war. Therefore, although Xu Shiyou's department gathered two artillery brigades this time, it could not carry out carpet bombing of Beiping City, except for the unconscionable artillery, only mortars could be used.

Xu Shiyou knows very well that in fact, at this time, whether Wang Kemin, Wang Jitang or Tada Jun, each of them still has some luck in their hearts, hoping that several reinforcements from the Japanese army can suddenly appear outside the city, and what they are most looking forward to is that the infantry division transported from Japan can go ashore at the port of Tianjin soon.

So Xu Shiyou is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to completely lift these luck in the hearts of these Japanese puppet soldiers. This opportunity was none other than the reorganization of the 300th Division and the 77th Independent Division for the siege of Tangshan City and Tianjin.

Although the city of Tangshan is not large, the Japanese troops stationed in Tangshan are not ordinary Japanese troops, but one of the elite units of the Japanese army - the Second Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Garrison Army. The establishment of the Chinese garrison army was abolished after the establishment of the North China Front, but the unit of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Chinese garrison army was still retained. The number and combat effectiveness of this unit were very unusual among all the Japanese troops, and the strength of eight infantry brigades, two artillery brigades, one tank brigade, one cavalry brigade, and one engineer brigade, and the strength of the entire thirteen brigades made this infantry brigade almost rival that of an infantry division.

Due to the important position of Tangshan, Tada Jun also sent the only semi-mechanized special brigade under the control of Yamaguchi Meizi, so the independent 77th Division was more than two months larger, and although all cities and counties except Tangshan City had been defeated, only Tangshan, the most important city, remained unmoved.

However, by this time, the Japanese army was exhausted. Under the siege of Chen Geng's subordinates, there were only more than 4,000 of the more than 13,000 devils left, and less than 2,000 of the more than 20,000 puppet troops who assisted in defending the city remained, and the rest either surrendered or were killed.

Tangshan. Temporary Command.

Master Chen frowned and looked at the large map hanging on the wall, although this 50,000:1 military map captured from the Japanese army had been read no less than twenty times, but at this time he was still staring at it.

At this time, Zhou Zikun, the commander of the 28th Division, walked in and said: "Commander-in-chief, the 28th Division successfully completed the task two hours ago, the tunnel has been dug directly under the Tangshan city wall, and the explosives have been installed, now we are just waiting for your order." ”

Master Chen's brows stretched slightly, and then he said: "Very good, although the 28th Division is a recruit unit, but the recruits after three months of recruit training are different, not worse than those veterans of the National Government who have been in the military for about one or two years, if the weapons and equipment can be matched, I believe that the 28th Division will definitely be a strong force in our army." Then Master Chen asked, "Old Zhou, are the other troops ready?" ”…,

"It's all ready, just wait for the Tangshan city wall to fall before launching an attack." Zhou Zikun replied.

Master Chen looked at his watch, and then said: "Well, Lao Zhou, you go to the front line to command the battle, it's eight o'clock now, and in half an hour we will launch a general attack, and we will be surrounded by 100,000 people, and we must not let the three or four thousand little devils in the city escape." ”

"Okay" After speaking, Zhou Zikun turned around and walked out.

Tianjin. Jinghai County, the headquarters of the 300th Division was reorganized.

"Division Commander, just now Division Commander Xu Shiyou sent a telegram saying that Master Chen had taken Tangshan City half an hour ago, annihilated more than 6,000 Japanese puppet defenders, and recovered the entire eastern Hebei region. He hoped that we would take Tianjin in the short term and force Wang Kemin and Wang Jitang to surrender to our army. Ma Jiayuan, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 300th Division, said with a telegram.

Yang Chengwu didn't answer Ma Jiayuan's words, but thought for a while and asked, "What position is Li Dayong's department in now?" ”

"Division Commander Li and the Fifth Division have now captured Cangzhou and are now attacking Botou, and a telegram was sent half an hour ago saying that the Japanese army in Botou had taken the initiative to retreat south, and the Fifth Field Division and the 25th Division were pursuing forward."

"Order the Fifth Field Division to immediately move south to occupy Fucheng, Wuqiang, and Xianxian, and then capture Hengshui. The 300th Division was ordered to immediately carry out non-stop artillery bombardment of Tianjin, and the special combat team sneaked into the city overnight to sabotage it. The Tianjin underground organization was ordered to assist in the operation, and the other troops immediately moved closer to Tianjin. ”

"In addition, order the troops to requisition one hundred and fifty large fishing boats from the nearby people, and this task must be completed within two days, is it okay?" Yang Chengwu said.

Ma Jiayuan did not hesitate at all, and said loudly: "Resolutely complete the task"

"It is necessary to complete the task, it is to ensure the completion of the task, I tell you, when the time comes, your first brigade will be the main force attacking Tianjin, and the other troops will cover for you, so you must complete the task, otherwise the casualties will be much greater."

Tianjin, like Beiping, was a tough nut to crack, and because Tianjin was close to the sea and supported by warships and gunboats, the Japanese troops here were not worried about supplies and back roads. Moreover, the mountains of materials on the docks in Tianjin now gave those Japanese puppet soldiers a lot of confidence, although they knew that the Chinese army had already arrived in the city, but they still did not feel that it had reached the end of the world. Anyway, with Tianjin's fortifications, even if the Chinese army comes with more than 100,000 people, it may not be able to do what the city of Tianjin will do. Besides, isn't there a warship on the sea, it's really not good, everyone will get on the warship and retreat, there is still no problem with the back road, no matter how powerful the Communist Eighth Route Army is, it can still carry artillery to pursue them in the sea, so at this time, the fighting spirit of the Japanese puppet army established in Tianjin is still there, and it is much stronger than the Japanese puppet army in Beiping City.

Therefore, it is not as easy as imagined to attack Tianjin City, so it is necessary to attack it by surprise. After discussing with all the cadres in the headquarters for a long time, Yang Chengwu finally decided to adopt the tactics of land and water flanking.

Although the Japanese navy is indeed very strong, there are still two large warships and more than 20 cargo ships in the port of Tianjin, while the Chinese army does not even have a decent ship, let alone a navy, so judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Chinese army has absolutely no possibility of coming from the sea. After all, the Japanese army's coastal defense troops are not vegetarians, and the entire Tianjin coast alone has more than one infantry brigade, in addition to more than a dozen gunboats and dozens of shore defense guns.

However, after careful analysis and careful deployment, Yang Chengwu believed that there was still a possibility of success in the sea and land flanking attack, and the Chinese army was not at all helpless. You must know that the more impossible things are, the more likely they are to happen, although Yang Chengwu's department does not have large ships, it can recruit a large number of large fishing boats, although there is almost no comparison between fishing boats and warships. However, fishing boats also have the advantages and advantages of fishing boats, which are not only small in size, but also extremely flexible, so if the Japanese army uses warships to fight fishing boats, it will be a lot of fun, and the hit rate will definitely make the Japanese naval officers have a pain. If you charge the coast of Tianjin at night, the success rate will increase a lot. …,

Moreover, there was no need for troops and Japanese troops to contend with each other in the sea, as long as they rushed directly to the coast of Tianjin. As long as they went ashore, the Japanese warships and coastal defense guns were completely useless, and they could also use the coastal defense guns against the Japanese warships. Therefore, as long as the time for the beach landing is controlled within half an hour, there is hope for success, and Yang Chengwu also plans to let the reorganized 300th Division and several other troops attack the Tianjin defenders from around Tianjin City, contain the defenders of the outer city to reinforce the coastal troops, and at the same time, if possible, also attract the Japanese coastal defense troops to reinforce the defenders of the outer city.

On December 31, 1940, under the order of Yang Chengwu, the 300th Division launched a full-scale attack on the enemy in Tianjin. More than 70,000 men of the 300th, 14th, and 15th Divisions launched an all-front attack on Tianjin, and the whole army concentrated more than 280 artillery pieces, more than 4,400 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 80 combat vehicles, and carried out an all-round attack on the Japanese puppet army in Tianjin with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain.

Tianjin Japanese Army Garrison Headquarters, the Japanese Army Garrison Commander is Lieutenant General Yoshikawa Neiren, the Chinese army has been a big startler for the Japanese army lieutenant general, so he is very wise not to fight with the Chinese army city by city, but to order all the troops outside Tianjin to immediately move closer to Tianjin City, and at the same time take away all the arms and materials that can be taken away, and what cannot be taken away is all destroyed. Therefore, there are now more than 40,000 troops in Tianjin, including nearly 15,000 Japanese troops, and about 2,000 coastal defense troops, and ammunition and food are extremely sufficient. Especially for ammunition, a large number of weapons and equipment that had just been shipped from the Japanese mainland were blocked in the port of Tianjin before they could be shipped out, so Lieutenant General Yoshikawa was still very confident in holding the city of Tianjin.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Xiaozhuang defensive line was attacked by the Shina people, the fortifications were all destroyed in ten minutes, the defenders suffered heavy losses, and Kobayashi Shaoza has already sent three telegrams to the headquarters asking for help."

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the northern defense line has been attacked by more than 20,000 people in China, including about 30 chariots in addition to a large number of artillery, the defense line of the imperial army is in danger, and the 16th Division of the Imperial Allied Army in the eastern flank position has retreated on all fronts, most of them surrendered to the Chinese troops, and a small part was killed by the imperial army, and Sasaki Shaosa asked the headquarters to give support."

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Seongsai Station was besieged by the Shina troops, the fire of the Shina army was too fierce, almost all the fortifications of the station were destroyed, Kobayashi Nakasa's command post was devastated by artillery fire, and all 6 officers, including Kobayashi Nakasa, were killed, and now the front-line command is temporarily replaced by Captain Sato, Sato asks the headquarters to give strong support immediately, otherwise the Josai Station will be lost."

The news of the successive defeats of the "Yaga Tongdi Rice Bucket" almost made Lieutenant General Yoshikawa Neiren angry, and before the battle, they all patted their chests and said that there was no problem, and they could definitely hold the position. But it has only been less than two hours since the start of the battle, and all the troops can't stand it, especially the infantry division of the Imperial Allied Army that has been eaten by others, how can this one be fought.

Although he does have a reserve team in his hands, and there are quite a few of them, more than 10,000 people, but in this way of playing, more than 10,000 people have a reserve team, which is not very useful at all, even if there are 10,000 people, it is in vain.

At the same time, the people of Yoshikawa were also taken aback by the strength of the Chinese army, they all knew that the Inner Mongolia Military Region was strong, and they knew that the reorganized 300th Division was the real elite of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, but they did not expect that the two sides had just fought for less than two hours and almost forced him to use reserves.......
