"Huh? Captain Liu, do you have any problems with your special operations team? Regarding Bruce Lee's answer, Liu Hua nodded approvingly. Then, he shifted his gaze to Liu Xiaogang, who had not spoken all this time..."Commander, in the entire Tianjin area, there is only about one brigade of little devils, most of whom are ordinary expatriates. What's more, among the nearly 1,000 devil troops, half of the soldiers are the little devil navy... And our special operations team, there are more than 600 members here, quietly eliminating these little devils, as long as they are properly arranged, there is absolutely no problem... It's just that when the time comes, all the warships and gunboats that the little devils are parked in the harbor will pose a very huge threat to the guard brigades and ammunition depots on land. Liu Xiaogang's face showed a look of worry, and he replied..."The warships and gunboats of the little devils, well, as long as the morning dawns, the soldiers will be completely exposed to the guns of the little devils. This is indeed a very big problem... Let me think about it, let me think about it..."After listening to Liu Xiaogang's words, Liu Hua nodded thoughtfully, and slowly fell into contemplation, thinking about possible countermeasures... Suddenly, a very vicious idea came to my heart. Immediately, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth showed a mysterious smile..."Captain Liu, you just said that in Tianjin, there are a large number of little devil expatriates?" Thinking of this ghost idea, Liu Hua immediately asked Liu Xiaogang.

"Yes, Commander ... Because the whole of Tianjin is almost the material transfer station of the entire Chinese dispatch army of the little devils, almost all the strategic materials transported from the country have to be transferred to Tianjin. Therefore, a large number of expatriates have moved to the Tianjin area because of various needs and jobs... According to preliminary statistics, the total number of expatriates stationed in Tianjin is almost 20,000, accounting for a very large proportion in the entire city of Tianjin. Liu Xiaogang replied affirmatively.

"Okay, there are 20,000 little devil expatriates here, and the warships and gunboats of the little devils must not dare to be arrogant. Unless, unless these little devil soldiers, he doesn't want the lives of these nearly 20,000 expatriates...."The corners of Liu Hua's mouth showed a hint of a gloomy sneer, and he said to a few people in front of him..."Commander, do you mean to use these nearly 10,000 little devil expatriates as meat shields for us?" Liu Xiaogang stared at his eyes wide, as if he was looking at an alien, looked at Liu Hua in front of him, and said in disbelief.

"Yes, that's what it means. When the time comes, all the overseas Chinese of the little devils will be gathered near the port and the material warehouse. I don't believe that the little devils will personally fire at their own diaspora. At that time, if this matter spreads to their country, the commander of the little devil, even if he will not die, will take off a layer of skin because of it..."Liu Hua nodded affirmatively and said..."Commander, I really convinced you, you can come up with such a solution... I'm sure this method will definitely work... In Tianjin, there are not only a large number of ordinary expatriates, but also a large number of family members of military officers. Unless the little devil naval commander and the air pilot have a bad head, otherwise, give them ten guts, and they will not dare to think of these expatriates to open fire. After listening to Commander Liu Hua's explanation, Liu Xiaogang immediately reacted from shock. looked at Liu Hua in front of him, and said with bright eyes.

"Well, since that's the case, it's decided. When the time comes, when the air force and naval artillery of the little devils are encountered, they will pull out the expatriates in the city. Let these expatriates be our meat shields... However, tell the fighters below that you must pay attention to the discipline of our army. Of course, the family property of the little devil expatriate, if nothing else, was looted from the hands of the common people in China. Therefore, for these things, we don't need to be too polite, and collect them all..."Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Yes, Commander, guarantee the completion of the mission. This time, I promise to let these little devil expatriates take off a layer of skin if they don't die... No, we must not harm a single expatriate, but just confiscate all their property..."Liu Xiaogang replied with a smile. Because he knows that it is more painful to confiscate all the property of these expatriates than to kill them..."Okay, you two will take it easy for me then." After all, there are not only little devils in Tianjin, but also many foreign journalists, so don't lose the face of our Eighth Route Army. When the time comes, if something comes out, not only will I not let go of the two of you, but even the [***] of Yan'an will not let go of the two of you..."After listening to Liu Xiaogang's incoherent answer, Liu Hua finally warned..."Commander, you can rest assured, promise to complete the task, and not lose the face of our Eighth Route Army..."Seeing the commander Liu Hua with a serious face in front of him, the two of them hurriedly answered at the same time.

"Well, in that case, you should go down first... Remember, aim to be able to get out in less than two hours. Tomorrow night, go on the offensive ... When the offensive begins, remember to send a telegram to the command. When the time comes, we will attack together and catch the little devil off guard..."Liu Hua finally ordered... As the two returned to their troops' camp. The camp of the entire assault force immediately began to be lively. The artillery companies and anti-aircraft machine gun companies that followed the attack of the Guards Brigade quickly assembled at the camp where the Guards Brigade was located... As for the 6,000 commanders and fighters of the guard brigade, under the command of commanders at all levels, they began to check their equipment and ammunition and make the final preparations before the sortie... Two hours passed quickly, and more than 6,000 commanders and fighters were fully equipped. In the sound of orders from commanders at all levels, at this moment, they are standing neatly in the dense forest, waiting for the order to set off... As the temporary commander-in-chief of the entire unit, Bruce Lee, commander of the Guards Brigade, and Liu Xiaogang, deputy commander-in-chief and captain of the Special Operations Brigade. The two of them are saying their final goodbyes to Commander Liu Hua and Chief of Staff Li Qing... Five minutes later, the 6,000-strong army, under the watchful eyes of Liu Hua and Chief of Staff Li Qing, finally left the camp of the troops. The 6,000 army, along a trail opened up in advance by the special operations brigade, quickly drilled into the dense forest, and began their own journey... Finally, after a day and a night of difficult marching. Just the next night, when night fell. The 6,000-strong army, under the leadership of Bruce Lee, commander of the guard brigade, and Liu Xiaogang, captain of the special operations brigade, finally walked out of the mountains. Raising the telescope in his hand, a few kilometers away in Tianjin City, a few kilometers away, you can already vaguely see a little light..."Lao Liu, finally came out." This day's and night's march was harder than the usual march for several days. It seems that in the future, the troops will still have to strengthen their training in mountain marching..."Looking at the faint outline of Tianjin City. Bruce Lee couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and complained to Liu Xiaogang beside him..."Well, I think it's better to let the troops rest on the spot for a few hours first, and replenish a little physical strength and dry food, after all, after such a long march, everyone is very tired." In the dead of night, we get moving. In addition, we also need to make specific deployments according to the specific terrain? Liu Xiaogang did not answer, but held a telescope and looked at the distant city of Tianjin and the port of Tianjin, which sounded with a whistle. Bruce Lee beside him said quietly..."Lao Liu, the commander has already explained before we set off." For this place in Pingjin, you are more familiar than I don't know how many times. Therefore, the arrangement of the entire campaign plan should be based on your opinions. So, don't be polite to me, you said to attack in the middle of the night, let's attack in the middle of the night? Bruce Lee said with a look of certainty..."Okay, Lao Li, then let's go back to the headquarters first, and strive to formulate a complete sneak attack plan in the shortest possible time..."Liu Xiaogang replied with a smile... Back at the headquarters, the two of them began to discuss the specific action plan around a map of the deployment of the army's military forces drawn by Liu Xiaogang..."Lao Li, my opinion is: I personally took a squadron of special combat personnel to detour back to the vicinity of the little devil's Tianjin Port from the waterway, and quietly killed an infantry squadron arranged by the Japanese Army in Tianjin Port... As long as we kill this infantry squadron, the remaining hundreds of naval personnel will become our turtles in the urn. At the same time, the large amount of materials and ammunition that the army has hoarded in the port has become our trophies..."Pointing to the port of Tianjin on the map, Liu Xiaogang was not polite, and directly said what he thought in his heart..."I believe very much in the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade. It's just, Lao Liu, although there is only one little devil in this port with an infantry squadron. However, there was also a squad of tanks, as well as a dozen gunboats of various types. If one is not good, the entire battle plan will end in failure because of the naval guns on these tanks and gunboats..."Bruce Lee said with a worried face. After all, the success or failure of his own guard brigade is related to the success or failure of the entire battle plan, and Bruce Lee can't help but worry.

"Lao Li, don't worry about this. According to what we have detected, under normal circumstances, the little devil gunboats docked in Tianjin Port. At night, on each gunboat, except for a small number of naval soldiers left on duty. The rest of the soldiers, all ashore, rested in the special barracks of the Navy in the port ... Therefore, when the time comes, as long as we can surround the little devil navy in their barracks, they will not be able to play any role if they have empty gunboats. As for the warships and gunboats patrolling the perimeter, when the time comes, it will depend on the cooperation of your guard brigade..."Liu Xiaogang said... After listening to Liu Xiaogang's answer, Bruce Lee nodded thoughtfully, and then continued: "Old Liu, how do you want our guard brigade to cooperate, just say it." I don't dare to guarantee anything else, there will be absolutely no problems with the special operations team's sneak attack on Tianjin Port. As long as you say, we, the guard brigade, guarantee to complete the mission..."

"Okay, then you're welcome... I want the Guard Brigade to be able to draw a battalion of troops and quietly lurk around the port of Tientsin before the battle begins. If there is a shootout in the course of our sneak attack, the troops who are lying in ambush around the port of Tianjin will immediately charge. As for the target of the troops' attack, it is the barracks of the little devils and all the material warehouses. When the time comes, I'll send some team members to show you the way. When the time comes, as long as the little devils are blocked in their barracks and all the material warehouses are occupied, the entire Tianjin Port will be ours. Liu Xiaogang was not polite, and replied with an affirmative face.

"Okay, Lao Liu, since this is the case, I will hand over to you the battalion directly under the Guard Brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness. In addition, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the battalion directly under my command, I assigned a mortar company of nine mortars and an anti-aircraft machine gun company of nine anti-aircraft machine guns to the battalion directly under the battalion... You see, is it enough for so many troops? Bruce Lee didn't hesitate and said with an affirmative face.

"Lao Li, enough is enough, but there is still a problem that must be solved. Otherwise, the warships of the little devils, after dawn, will not be polite to us. I don't think they will watch hundreds of thousands of tons of munitions and materials become our spoils of war and be transported away by us..."Liu Xiaogang continued with a smile.

"Lao Liu, are you talking about the commander calling our little devil human flesh shield..."Bruce Lee immediately reacted and said.

"That's right, it's the little devil's human shield. Only when we control these little devil expatriates in the harbor before dawn will their warships and gunboats dare not rashly fire at the harbor. I think that when we hold out until the arrival of the main forces, I believe that with the equipment of our two heavy artillery regiments, we will be able to sink or drive away all the little devil warships and gunboats... When the time comes, we will be able to carry the large amount of strategic materials that the little devils have hoarded in the port of Tianjin..." Speaking of this, Liu Xiaogang's eyes were once again placed on the military map in front of him..."I mean, at night, because the warships did not know the situation in the port, they did not dare to rashly open fire on the port to shell it. And we, just before dawn, are going to control at least a few thousand expatriates and drive them all to the port. Therefore, while we are secretly attacking Tianjin Port, we must take Tianjin City within two hours, eliminate more than 1,000 little devils in the city, and arrest a group of overseas Chinese..."

"Lao Liu, what do you mean?" Bruce Lee frowned and asked, "Old Li, when the time comes, I will let the members of another squadron, cooperate with a regiment of the guard brigade, in the shortest possible time, with the smallest casualties, to capture Tianjin City." Then, in the shortest possible time, he controlled thousands of expatriates and sent them to Tianjin Port... As for the remaining two main regiments, I don't say that you also know, that is, they are preparing to ambush all the little devils who may reinforce Tianjin on the road from Beiping to Tianjin. I promise not to let go of a little devil and enter the scope of Tianjin..."Liu Xiaogang said affirmatively..."Okay, Lao Liu, since this is the case, then we will do this... When the time came, the 1st Regiment of the Guard Brigade, with the cooperation of the 2nd Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade, occupied the city of Tianjin... The remaining two main regiments, under my personal command, rushed to Beiping to complete the road to Tianjin to ambush, preparing to give the little devil reinforcements a surprise attack, and strive to annihilate them all..."Bruce Lee looked at the military deployment map in front of him and said quietly.

"Okay, then we're done. Three hours later, the troops departed. We started at one o'clock in the morning and on time. Give the little devil a night attack on Tianjin Port, a night attack on Tianjin City... turned the little devil's lair upside down... Lao Li, what do you think? Liu Xiaogang said excitedly..."I don't have any problems, I completely agree with this battle plan." I think, we can summarize this battle plan now, report it to the commander immediately, and ask the commander for approval..."Bruce Lee nodded, without any hesitation, and said with an affirmative face... Liu Xiaogang replied briskly: "Okay, let's send a report to the commander..." After almost ten minutes of summarizing and supplementing, a telegram of 1,000 words appeared in the hands of the operator... With the rhythmic dripping sound of the radio, it sounded inside the makeshift headquarters. This battle plan began to appear in front of Commander Liu Hua word by word..."Chief of Staff, what do you think of this battle plan?" "After reading the telegram I just received. Commander Liu Hua, who was anxiously waiting, finally showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded very appreciatively. Then, he asked the chief of staff beside him.

"Commander, we are not at the forefront and do not know the specific enemy situation, so we have no right to speak. However, through this battle plan, I seem to have sensed that the balance of victory has shifted in favor of our readers. So, I completely agree with this battle plan. I believe that the Guard Brigade and the Special Operations Brigade will not disappoint the expectations of all of us..." After reading the telegram in his hand, Chief of Staff Li Qing also nodded approvingly, and then said..."Lao Li, since this is the case, then we will call them back and completely agree with their battle plan..." Liu Hua said..."I also think that we should call them back as soon as possible." After all, this operation was dominated by sneak attacks. And in order to launch a successful sneak attack, the special operations team must have a lot to prepare. The sooner we call back, the more time they have for pre-war preparations. In addition, we need to start preparing. It was now one o'clock in the morning, and there were only five hours left. Chief of Staff Li Qing nodded and said.

"Okay, Chief of Staff, you call back to the Guard Brigade and the Special Operations Brigade right away and agree with the battle plan they have reported. In addition, the two heavy artillery regiments were notified to immediately build artillery positions and prepare for artillery bombardment. All the brigades and regiments directly under the column immediately entered the offensive position in accordance with the pre-battle deployment, and waited for the order of the general attack..."Liu Hua nodded and ordered with a serious face.

"Yes, Commander, I'm going to deliver the order..."Chief of Staff Li Qing turned around and left the headquarters...
