Chapter 465: No War in North China (11)

From the beginning of the battle on the evening of December 31 to the early morning of January 1, both sides were exhausted, and the losses of the integrated 300th Division, which was the attacking side, were extremely heavy. Although the vast majority of the Japanese troops defending the city were not the elite of the Japanese army, with their strong fortifications and strong firepower, the Japanese troops defending the city still caused huge casualties to the integrated 300th Division.

Of course, after killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 themselves, the troops of the reorganized 300th Division suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese army did not have a good time, and the strong city fortifications could not stop the advance of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. In just four or five hours, the 300th Division was reorganized and attacked Tianjin City by the internal strife of the Japanese puppet army, directly tearing a huge gap in the complete defense system of Tianjin City.

After Yoshikawa Neiren's order was given, Ueno did not dare to slack off, and a complete marine corps was quickly assembled, and under the leadership of the deputy captain Nagato Kojiro, they headed towards the western city of Tianjin.

But just two hours after Nagato Kojiro left, a large number of ships appeared at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance on the coast of Tianjin, although a few small gunboats responsible for coastal patrol quickly discovered the abnormality, but in the face of the huge number, a few small gunboats almost did not play any role, and the heavy machine guns and mortars installed on the bows of those large and small merchant ships were overwhelming, and the small gunboats were different from the large warships with thick steel plates. These small Japanese gunboats were completely annihilated in the face of the huge firepower of the first brigade, and almost did not put up any resistance.

However, the role of those small gunboats was still very large, and with the warning of those small gunboats, the Japanese coastal defense troops quickly reacted, and for a while, the calm dock was full of figures shaking.

And Ma Jiayuan was not polite, although the fleet was still a short distance from the coast, but the mortars standing in the bow of the ship couldn't wait to fire at the shore. Although the landing point of the shells was very inaccurate due to the turbulence of the waves, the number of mortars could not withstand the large base, so the coast was soon covered with artillery fire.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was evading the bombing, Ma Jiayuan ordered the troops to hurry up the time to land on the beach. Since the troops were transported by small fishing boats this time, these boats could sail on the shallows, and some even washed directly onto the beach under the guidance of the soldiers, which Ma Jiayuan and others may not have expected.

After the Japanese army occupied Tianjin, it spared no effort to strengthen the fortifications of Tianjin, among which the coastal protection project was the focus of the Japanese army's reinforcement. Like the coastal fortifications of other countries in the world, the coastal fortifications of the port of Tianjin are also composed of bunkers and trenches. Just as Ma Jiayuan's troops rushed to the beach, the defenders of Tianjin City began to attack the troops who were rushing to the beach, regardless of the artillery fire flying everywhere in the sky.

"Da Da Da"

"Da Da Da"

The bunkers built on the beach were facing a brigade of steel ammunition, and the soldiers who rushed to the beach fell to the ground one by one, while more soldiers continued to advance on the corpses of their comrades. Finally, an infantry company finally gained a foothold on the beach after great sacrifices, and used the corpses of its comrades to build a simple defensive position to attack the Japanese troops hiding in the bunkers.

Then more soldiers rushed ashore, and all of them formed simple positions in front of the Japanese pillbox positions. However, no matter how many Chinese troops came, they could not get within 50 meters of the Japanese pillbox group, and the Japanese crossfire hardly had any shooting dead ends, and as long as the troops exposed to their firing sight would be knocked down by them at the first time. For a time, the beach-rushing landing was seriously blocked, and the two sides were in a stalemate along the beach.

Ma Jiayuan saw that the battle in front of him was not going well, and he was immediately anxious, he knew very well how serious the consequences would be if the troops could not land within half an hour. Now that the gunfire has sounded, the beach landing has exposed the target, the Japanese troops in the city will definitely return to the coast, and the two warships in the distant sea will also return to the port as soon as they receive the order. At that time, with these 500 or 600 small fishing boats, how could they be the opponents of the Japanese army, and the 1st brigade of more than 10,000 people would be driven into the sea by the Japanese army to feed the fish in two hours at most. …,

"The troops who ordered the three regiments to go ashore will take that pillbox area at all costs, we are running out of time." Ma Jiayuan's voice became gloomy.

At the port position, the 300th Division 1st Brigade and 3rd Regiment were reorganized, and the commander of the 3rd Regiment, Hu Riletu, was just charged and broke his right arm by a Japanese heavy machine gun, and was seriously wounded, and the person also fell into a coma. So at this time, the command of the position was taken over by Pan Shuangyuan, the political commissar of the Third Regiment.

After receiving Ma Jiayuan's order, Pan Shuangyuan immediately organized an attack, and at the same time sent the only demolition platoon in his hand.

The design of this bunker group of the Japanese army is very reasonable, and the combination of light and dark bunkers is very orderly, so if the first brigade wants to land smoothly, it must completely destroy this bunker group. The 3rd Regiment had already lost two demolition platoons in the landing battle just now, and if this demolition platoon could not make any further progress, the consequences would be quite serious.

Gunshots rang out, and under Pan Shuangyuan's order, all the combat-capable units of the three regiments opened fire at the same time, and the combat effectiveness of tens of thousands of people was amazing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than thirty sturdy young men of the demolition platoon rushed out, bending down and running towards the Japanese pillbox group, each with a special time bomb in his hand. In fact, if this bunker group of the Japanese army was placed elsewhere, it would not cause much trouble to the 1st Brigade, but he was on the beach, and the most effective conscienceless cannon of the 1st Brigade was not suitable for use in this environment, so it also caused more than 10,000 people of the 1st Brigade to be blocked on the beach and unable to go ashore.

The fighters of the demolition platoon are the elite of all units and are the best. But in this environment, no matter how powerful the soldiers are, they can't withstand the consumption, and there are less than forty of the more than 100 men left until now, and all the rest are left on the beach, this is war.

Ma Xiaofu, the platoon leader of the demolition platoon, is Ma Jiayuan's nephew and the only male in the third generation of the Ma family.

But Ma Xiaofu is an assertive person, this kid was so frightened that his face turned pale when he heard that he was going to marry his daughter-in-law, and he packed a little luggage that night and ran out, and went to Saibei to join his uncle Ma Jiayuan.

Ma Jiayuan is a highly principled cadre, he did not promote Ma Xiaofu because Ma Xiaofu is his nephew, but deliberately sent Ma Xiaofu to the grassroots level to exercise, last year Ma Xiaofu because of his excellent performance on the battlefield, killed a Japanese soldier, and then was promoted to platoon commander. Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was transferred to the demolition team as the deputy company commander and the platoon commander of the first demolition platoon.

The company commander of the demolition company had died ten minutes ago, and the three platoon commanders had also killed two of them, Ma Xiaofu was the only remaining platoon commander of the demolition company, so his every move attracted much attention. In fact, the commander of the third regiment didn't know that Ma Xiaofu was Ma Jiayuan's nephew, otherwise even if he was unreasonable and stupid, he would not put Ma Xiaofu on the high-risk branch of the demolition company, let alone send Ma Xiaofu at this juncture.

Ma Xiaofu's skills are very agile, he led the remaining thirty or so demolition company soldiers crawled towards the devil's bunker, and at this time the Japanese machine gunners also found them uninvited guests, the machine gunners adjusted the muzzle, and concentrated the fire on the demoman's body, and soon the demolition platoon suffered casualties, and the eight soldiers were beaten into a sieve because they did not dodge in time, and they couldn't survive. …,

However, their sacrifice was also worth it, and at the same time as they were shot, they all made a unified action, that is, they threw the time bomb in their hands at the Japanese pillbox without fear of life and death.

"Boom Boom Boom"

With the fall of these soldiers, the firepower of the Japanese pillbox group suddenly became sparse, and Ma Xiaofu and others took advantage of this gap to quickly jump up and hide under the shooting hole of a pillbox as quickly as possible. At the same time, he threw the time bomb in his hand through the shooting hole at the first time, and in order to prevent the Japanese from throwing the bomb out again, Ma Xiaofu deliberately delayed it for half a minute before throwing it.

"Boom" With a violent explosion, the bomb was about to explode along with the Japanese army's hoarding in the pillbox. Ma Xiaofu, who was hiding under the bunker, only felt a loud noise, and his chest was like being hit hard by a sledgehammer, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and then felt that the sky was dark. But Ma Xiaofu endured the physical trauma, picked up a few other bombs and rolled towards the bunkers next to him.

At this time, everyone's hearts were nervous, and all eyes were staring at Ma Xiaofu and others, including Ma Jiayuan. In fact, when the political commissar of the Third Regiment reported the situation of the battle to him, Ma Jiayuan's heart trembled. Isn't Ma Xiaofu, the deputy company commander of the demolition company and the platoon commander of the platoon, his nephew, and the chances of the soldiers of the demolition platoon being able to withdraw unharmed in this situation are very small. If something happened to Ma Xiaofu, Ma Jiayuan didn't know what to think of his old father.

But this thought only stayed in Ma Jiayuan's mind for a short moment, and then he left Ma Xiaofu's safety behind. If the demolition platoon can't complete the task, let alone Ma Xiaofu, even he himself will be driven into the sea by the little devil to feed the fish, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who came with him can go ashore alive. The life of his nephew is fate, and other people's children are also raised by their parents, so if Ma Xiaofu can complete the task this time, he will give it to a battalion commander, if he can't complete the task and die on the battlefield, then let his uncle bury him.

The luck of Ma Xiaofu and others is still good, and the most taboo thing about beach-grabbing and landing has always been that there are no heavy tanks, and the enemy has strong coastal fortifications. But the Japanese army did not expect that there would be troops attacking Tianjin from the sea, since the Japanese invasion of China, China could not go to sea even with a sampan, the Japanese warships kept cruising in the sea, and all suspicious ships were sent to the bottom of the sea by them. Therefore, although the fortifications of the port on the coast of Tianjin were strong, they were internal, and all the design concepts were based on the assumption that the Chinese army would attack the port by land after occupying the Beijing-Tianjin area, so it did not relieve the pressure on the Chinese army.

Under the skillful blasting technology of Ma Xiaofu and others, the Japanese pillboxes were blown to pieces one after another. The reason why the Japanese pillbox group was able to block the first brigade in the beach position for such a long time was entirely because the pillboxes were all a defensive whole, and the combination was extremely powerful. But once this whole is destroyed, then the power of this bunker group of the Japanese army will be greatly reduced, and even if Ma Xiaofu and others all sacrifice a brigade, they will have a way to rush to the beach and land.

After Ma Xiaofu threw the last bomb in his hand, he yelled at a few soldiers next to him: "Hurry up, I'll cover"

So far, only 14 of the 30 or so Demomen have been left, and the rest have been sacrificed, and some have not even left their corpses, and have been directly broken to pieces or died with the Japanese pillboxes.

"Platoon leader, you go first, you have an injury on your body, my leg is injured and I can't retreat, I'll stay to cover" The first squad leader Jiang David roared.

"Less damn verbose, hurry up, Lao Tzu doesn't have much ammunition, hold on for 2 minutes at most, Erhezi and Luo Guo will take your squad leader away"...,

"Da da bang bang" Ma Xiaofu's words did not fall, and the pillbox next to him opened fire again with the smoke of gunpowder that filled the battlefield.

Although there was smoke that could not be seen clearly, but after all, the distance was not too far, the Japanese machine gunner instinctively aimed the muzzle at Ma Xiaofu's side, the gunfire rang out, Ma Xiaofu had already felt the breath of death, and his eyes could even see that the warhead of the bullet was flying quickly to his eyebrows.

Ma Xiaofu's mind was blank at this time, he knew that he was really finished this time, he had been a soldier for two years, from an ordinary soldier to an officer, he had worked hard for nearly two years, this speed was slow in the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region, and there were many people who had been battalion commanders in the Inner Mongolia Military Region for two years. But he doesn't regret it, he knows what his uncle means, but he doesn't want to die, he really doesn't want to die, he wants to see the rise of the powerful China that the commander said, and he wants to see the dragon of New China taking off. But all this has become a luxury

But just when Ma Xiaofu was on the verge of despair, there was a strong force beside him, which knocked him to the ground at once. Ma Xiaofu turned around and saw Jiang David fall to the ground with a pale face, and two blood flowers burst out on his left shoulder.

Ma Xiaofu got up and wanted to pull Jiang David up, but Jiang David waved his hand at him and shouted: "Platoon commander, hurry up, the little devil's bunker has lost the ability to fight as a whole, our task has been completed, the regiment commander is about to order the troops to charge, you quickly withdraw with your brothers, I will cover"

"No, I can't"

"Platoon commander, I beg you, you hurry up, I'm no longer good, my leg has been injured, I can't withdraw anymore, platoon commander I still have a sister who goes to school in Yan'an, you ask the commander for the specific address, he knows, my sister will be handed over to you later." After saying that, Jiang David struggled to get up, untied two bombs from the waist of a sacrificed demoman on the side, and then jumped up all of a sudden, ran towards the devil's bunker that fired the most, let the bullet hit his body, threw the bomb into the devil's bunker with all his strength, and then turned his back directly and blocked the devil's shooting hole with his body.

Ma Xiaofu clearly saw Jiang David's bloodstained face flashing with nostalgia for the world and fear of death, but he did it anyway, this is an ordinary and great warrior.

Ma Xiaofu shouted with serious tears: "Withdraw"

Just when Ma Xiaofu and the others had just withdrawn more than ten meters, they only heard a loud noise behind them, and the Japanese pillbox with the largest firepower and the most ferocious firepower turned into a huge fire ball, and there were several violent explosions close to it.

It turned out that the Japanese bunker that Jiang David blew up with the last bit of strength in his life was the core mother fort of this bunker group, and all the ammunition of the bunker was stored in that big mother fort. As soon as the mother fort was destroyed, the entire bunker complex of the Japanese army was completely useless.

This scene was clearly recorded by Pan Shuangyuan, the political commissar of the Third Regiment, who gave the order for the whole regiment to charge with tears in his eyes.

"Tick Tick Tick Tick"

The bugle sounded again, and the inspired, soldiers of the three regiments burst out with astonishing momentum, and with the assistance of mortars, they launched a final charge towards the remaining Japanese pillboxes

"Nani, you say it again," the Shore Defense Command, Japanese Ueno Osa asked in disbelief.

The guard said with some fear: "Report to Dazuo, the people of China have already landed on the beach, all the No. 1 bunker group has been destroyed, and all the imperial troops of a squadron have been shattered."

"Eight Geya Road, where is Xiaolin's rice bucket? Let him come to me."

"Kobayashi Shaosa was already loyal to His Majesty the Emperor ten minutes ago"

"Baga, order the coastal defense troops to immediately assemble at the No. 2 pillbox group and stop the advance of the people at all costs. Call His Excellency the Lieutenant General and ask him to immediately withdraw the marines, and the safety of the port of Tientsin must be guaranteed. In addition, he hurriedly sent a telegram to the two naval warships in the sea, ordering them to return to help immediately. Ueno Dasa ordered angrily.

"Hai Dazuo, the telephone line in the city has been cut off by the people of China, and our orders can only be passed on by personnel, so please wait"

"Yaga, you're fast"

The more Ueno thought about it, the more surprised he became, how the Chinese army had crossed the sea to get here, and why the radar on the warship had not reacted at all. Thinking of the mountains of supplies and ammunition piled up on the port of Tianjin, Ueno Osa couldn't sit still.

It is good to say that if that batch of ammunition falls into the hands of the Chinese people, the consequences will be unimaginable. Ueno Osa thought about it and was still not at ease, and immediately discussed it with Okada Nakasa, who was beside him, and decided to immediately send troops to plant bombs in various warehouses in the port, if they could not withstand the attack of the Chinese army, they would immediately detonate all the arms and materials on the port of Tianjin, and what they could not get would definitely not be able to let the people of China get .......
