Chapter 124 Perfect time difference!
After hanging up the phone, Okamura Neiji immediately called all the counties near Tianjin where there were more troops stationed, asking them to rush to Tianjin for assistance immediately!
Then, Okamura Yasuji ordered the Japanese 35th Division to immediately take a train from Beijing to Tianjin!
Then, it called the Japanese in Langfang, Tangshan and Cangzhou, asking them to take the train directly to support Tianjin as quickly as possible!
This is also the only permanent division still in the rear. The other permanent divisions of the North China Front Army have now been deployed to the southern war.
Okamura Neiji originally left this permanent division just in case, but he never expected that it would actually be used!
After arranging all these things, Okamura Neiji began to wonder where this force attacking Tianjin came from by looking at the battle map.
But it thought about all the famous units of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army in the North China War Zone, but it didn't match this unit...
Okamura Neiji couldn't figure it out after thinking about it over and over again, and fell into deep thought while looking at the battle map...
at the same time.
A villa on the outskirts of Tianjin.
Yan Shuangying and Zhou Weiguo had killed all the Japanese soldiers who stayed behind to guard the villa.
"Captain Yan, I didn't expect that Captain Qin's special warfare theory would be so useful!"
Zhou Weiguo said excitedly:
"After killing all the enemies, the infiltration process went much smoother!"
"I didn't expect that Captain Qin not only formed the first mechanized unit on the battlefield of Longguo, but also had such a unique understanding of special warfare theory."
"Ah."
Yan Shuangying also nodded. This method was too much for his temper.
"Okay, let's quickly rescue those returning talents."
"Captain Qin is still feinting his attack on Tianjin to buy us some time. If we withdraw early, it will also reduce a lot of pressure on Captain Qin."
"it is good!"
Zhou Weiguo also nodded, then pushed open the door of the villa.
After Yan Shuangying and Zhou Weiguo entered the villa, they found that the returning talents were hiding in the corner farthest from the door.
One of the middle-aged men, seeing that the person coming in was not a Japanese soldier, boldly asked:
"Who are you?! What are you going to do?!"
"We are the Eighth Route Army, and we are here to rescue you."
Yan Shuangying took out his ID as he spoke and walked up to the middle-aged man who asked the question.
The middle-aged man took the document with a suspicious look on his face, then handed it back to Yan Shuangying:
"Are you really the Eighth Route Army? Are you the Japanese in disguise trying to send us to Japan?"
"Comrade, we are indeed the Eighth Route Army. I only learned about your being attacked by the Japanese after receiving orders from above..."
Time was pressing, so Yan Shuangying could only briefly explain how he had been tasked with rescuing these returning talents, and then continued:
"Everyone, Captain Qin is still feinting an attack on Tianjin to buy us time. Let's retreat first!"
"If you have any questions, can you wait until we retreat to a safe place?"
Those returning talents have long had enough of being with the Japanese.
In order to prevent them from escaping, the Japanese soldiers didn't let them eat enough. They just made sure they didn't die of thirst or hunger every day...
"Row!"
The middle-aged man nodded and turned to the returning talents and said:
"Let's all follow this commander and retreat. We can discuss any plans once it's safe."
Those returning talents nodded in agreement.
Then Yan Shuangying and Zhou Weiguo took them out of the villa.
After arriving in the yard and seeing the three majestic tanks.
The mood of those returning talents was obviously relaxed.
Even a few military workers came forward to study it.
"Captain Qin, I'm Yan Shuangying. Comrade Zhou Weiguo and I have successfully rescued those returning talents."
Yan Shuangying said to Qin Long through the intercom:
"We are going to retreat now. Captain Qin, you should also prepare to retreat."
"okay, I get it."
Qin Long, who was watching the Japanese soldiers being blasted to death by twelve M12 198mm howitzers across the street from the arsenal gate, replied calmly:
"I will continue to feint at Tianjin. You retreat first, and I will cover your retreat. I will withdraw once you are far away. Don't worry."
"Okay! Captain Qin, be careful! Don't fight too long and get caught by the Japanese! That would be troublesome!"
Yan Shuangying knew that time was urgent, so he gave Qin Long a few instructions and urged the military workers who were fascinated by the tanks to get on the truck.
Then, three tanks and three Dongfanghong LT3s left the villa and headed towards Stone Village...
Qin Long adjusted the intercom to avoid Yan Shuangying's channel:
"Shuisheng, Tiezhu, how's the move going over there? How long will it take to fill up the truck?"
"Captain! This little Japs has so many goodies in their arsenal!"
Shuisheng's extremely excited voice came over:
"It's just that there are too few of us. At the current loading rate, it will take at least three hours to fill up the truck you let go of!"
"Okay, hurry up and move."
Although Shuisheng said it would take at least three hours, Qin Long knew very well that as people's physical strength decreased, they would move things slower and slower.
So he had to buy the team four hours.
Fortunately, Qin Long had figured it out on the way to Tianjin. The Japanese had heavy troops stationed in Tianjin, so not too many troops would be stationed in the surrounding counties.
The only Japanese troops around Tianjin that could take the railway directly to Tianjin were Baoding, Langfang, Cangzhou and Tangshan, apart from Beijing.
Needless to say, Qin Long had wiped out a large battalion in Cangzhou before, so it is estimated that not many troops can be spared to support Tianjin.
The garrison levels in Langfang and Tangshan are similar to those in Baoding, and a battalion of Japanese devils are just a piece of cake for Qin Long.
So the only ones he needed to pay attention to were the Japanese soldiers coming from Beijing by train.
However, even if the Japanese soldiers in Beijing took the train, it would take at least four hours to reach Tianjin.
Perfect time difference!
So Qin Long was not worried at all!
By the time the Japanese soldiers from Beijing arrived in Tianjin, he had already prepared to escape.
By then, with the mobility of his mechanized troops, the Japanese chasing him will be desperate...
At this moment, the Japanese regiment commander Kato Igoro, who was across the street from the arsenal gate, had just received the notice.
Knowing that Kojiro Kameda had led his tank regiment to support.
Having been driven to near despair by Qin Long's heavy artillery and tank tactics, hope ignited in its heart again:
"Ah, enough! Ah, enough! Our tank regiment is coming soon!"
"Charge! Charge! The arsenal must be recaptured! Warriors of the Empire! The time has come to witness your bravery! Kill the chickens!"
"Field locusts on board!"
The two Japanese regiment commanders to the east and southeast of the arsenal also received the notice.
So some of the Japanese soldiers who had been beaten by Qin Long and had lost their temper, rushed out of the bunker screaming!
at the same time.
At the street corner.
Kameda Kojiro, who was about to engage the enemy, emerged from the turret and shouted excitedly:
"We're about to engage enemy tanks!"
"Warriors of the Empire! Now let us go and show the enemy what a true iron torrent is! The Empire is invincible!"
"Oh!!! The Empire is invincible!"
The commanders of the other 51 Japanese tanks also emerged from their turrets and shouted together!
next second!
The Japanese Type 97 medium tank that Kameda Kojiro was riding in turned the corner...
