    ¡°Coupled with the strength of the two divisions that the Japanese army wants to mobilize, the number of elites they will mobilize from the Kwantung Army area has exceeded 200,000.  "

    He Changxing said: "It seems that this time the little devil is planning to have a decisive battle with our army in North China."

    Xia Yang shook his head and said: "I will not give them such a chance, I will block them out of North China.

    ¡°These little devils, I won¡¯t even give them a chance to land. I want them all to turn into giant turtles floating on the sea.  "

    Hearing this, He Changxing asked: "Do you plan to attack the Tianjin area first?"

    Xiangyang nodded and said: "Yes, I want to capture the port here.

    If the Japanese army wants to land, they can only go to Dalian or Qingdao area to land.

    This way they can take a longer detour.

    He Changxing said: "It is also possible that the enemy will attack Tianjin's port and land directly from the Tianjin area. This is what the Eight-Power Allied Forces did back then."

    Xia Yang said this: "Since I can capture Dagukou in Tianjin, I will be able to hold it there.

    The troops under my command.  This is not the useless army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  I am not Cixi either.  "

    He Changxing said: "Then I will send a telegram now to ask Hao Shiwen and his troops to change their attack target and directly attack the Tianjin area."

    Soon, Xia Yang's telegram was placed on Hao Shiwen's desk.

    Seeing such a telegram, Hao Shiwen knew that their plan to take the lead in attacking Beiping City was about to be changed.

    In fact, at this time, their troops were ready to march to Peiping overnight.

    If nothing else happens, they can appear in the area south of Beiping City overnight.

    But when this happened, their armored and infantry units had to change direction and march towards the Tianjin area to take the lead in capturing the Japanese ports there.

    That night, the troops preparing to attack Beiping City at night directly changed the direction of the attack and headed towards the Tianjin area.

    And the target of their attack is also very simple, which is the Tianjin Port where the Japanese army is about to land.

    It will take three days for the fastest Japanese reinforcements to arrive here.

    Three days were enough for Hao Shiwen's armored troops to annihilate all the Japanese troops stationed there, leaving no one behind.

    That night, the 100,000-strong army in Baoding City set off overnight, taking advantage of the cover of darkness to head directly towards the Tianjin area.

    And those who took over the defense here were the troops of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

    Other troops near the Eighth Route Army will cooperate with the 386th Brigade to prevent the Japanese troops in the Shijiazhuang area from going north and attack Hao Shiwen and his troops.

    To buy enough time for Hao Shiwen and his troops to attack the Pingjin area.

    The Eighth Route Army headquarters also attaches great importance to this battle.

    They know that once this operation is successful, the anti-war situation in the entire North China region will be great.

    They even have the ability to launch an attack on the three northeastern provinces that have been occupied by the Japanese army for more than 10 years.

    The Japanese army has retained a large number of industrial bases in this area. Once they regain it, they will gain very strong industrial capabilities and even be able to produce heavy weapons.

    Such as trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and even large-caliber artillery.

    Although Xia Yang has many factories in Shanxi, he does not have the ability to produce these armored vehicles and tanks.

    But if the three eastern provinces can be recovered, then he will have the ability to manufacture these heavy tanks.

    However, the Japanese Kwantung Army has nearly a hundred troops in the three eastern provinces.

    The effort required to regain this place will definitely be much greater than that of recovering North China.

    What¡¯s more, the Japanese Kwantung Army is known as the flower of the imperial army.

    Their combat effectiveness and equipment are better than those of the North China Expeditionary Force.

    Therefore, the Eighth Route Army spared no effort to help Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Army this time.

    They not only dispatched the 386 Brigade, which has strong combat capabilities, but also dispatched seven or eight main regiments to defend the vicinity of Baoding City.

    Xia Yang made a promise to them to bear the ammunition consumption of these troops.

    Various arsenals in Shanxi are already working overtime to manufacture various weapons.equipment.

    These weapons, equipment and ammunition will be delivered to the Eighth Route Army troops via trucks and transport planes.

    With Xia Yang's promise, the Eighth Route Army troops have more confidence in holding the defense line around Baoding City.

    Although the Eighth Route Army has a large number of troops, it is extremely short of weapons, equipment and ammunition.

    Especially the amount of ammunition is less. If there is another large-scale conflict with the Japanese army, their ammunition consumption will be a big problem.

    This is also the main reason why they have always insisted on fighting behind enemy lines and avoiding large-scale head-on conflicts with the Japanese army.

    But Xia Yang solved their worries.

    Therefore, the Eighth Route Army headquarters is more willing to dispatch its own troops to help the Fourth Army in combat.

    Xia Yang also promised them that Xia Yang's Fourth Army would not take a single shot of the captured Japanese equipment and ammunition.

    All will be left to the Eighth Route Army troops.

    " Also after cooperating with Xia Yang's Fourth Army, the strength of the Eighth Route Army's troops, whether in Shanxi or after entering Hebei, has increased rapidly.

    These benefits are all real. The commanders at the Eighth Route Army headquarters also have a good impression of Xia Yang, so they are very willing to cooperate with him.

    When the main force of more than 100,000 Fourth Army troops led by Hao Shiwen went north to attack the Tianjin area.

    The Eighth Route Army¡¯s defensive troops had arrived at the front line of Baoding City overnight and took over their defense.

    They built a trench defense line in the southern areas of Baoding City and Mancheng to prevent the Japanese troops from attacking northward in the Shijiazhuang area.

    At this time, Okamura Neiji still didn¡¯t know that Hao Shiwen¡¯s troops only rested for a day or so before going directly north to recover the Pingjin area.

    If he knew the enemy's troops, he would dispatch them so quickly.  I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a good night's sleep this night.

    When Liu Fudong of the Kagel Combat Division learned that Hao Shiwen's troops were heading north, he informed his soldiers to prepare for battle.

    We plan to launch a large-scale attack on Beiping City.

    The reason why they did this was because they needed to attract the main force of the Japanese army in the Pingjin area.

    It was convenient for the main force led by Hao Shiwen to quickly recover the Tianjin Port occupied by the Japanese army.

    Stop other Japanese troops from entering the Pingjin area through this passage and provide reinforcements to them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
