    This force that attacked the Japanese army at the Tianjin port arrived at the outskirts of Tianjin at around nine o'clock in the morning.

    Tianjin¡¯s port is connected to the Bohai Sea. From this port, it won¡¯t take long to reach important ports such as Qingdao and Dalian.

    Once this place is captured, Japanese warships can only dock at ports in Dalian, Qingdao and other areas.

    ¡° If we force a landing operation in the Tianjin area, we will need to carry out a very brutal beach landing operation.

    Originally, there was only one Japanese brigade stationed at Tianjin Port.  But since yesterday morning, another regiment of troops has been deployed to garrison here.

    At this time, there were nearly 4,000 troops stationed at Tianjin Port.

    They built simple fortifications outside the port.

    But due to limited time, they really couldn't build a strong defense. Even the basic machine gun bunkers were only the ones they had built before.

    As for the forts on the port, they were pointed towards the Bohai Sea and could not guard against land attacks.

    Stationed here, Captain Zhong Benheyi of the 47th Regiment of the Japanese Army inserted the samurai sword in his hand into the soil of the beach, and then set his eyes on the Japanese position in the distance.

    There are many Japanese soldiers there, digging trenches.  Many engineering vehicles are also cooperating in trench excavation.

    The only way they can defend tanks here is because they have a limited number of weapons such as flat-fire cannons, and mountain cannons and mortars have limited damage to enemy armored vehicles and tanks.

    So what they have to do is to use those anti-tank trenches to block the advancement of enemy tanks when the enemy tanks attack.

    Then use infantry to carry out close-in blasting.

    At this moment, a soldier ran over behind him and shouted: "Report to the colonel, we have discovered the enemy's armored force twenty kilometers south of the port.

    They are heading towards the port along the road.  "

    Hearing this, Shigemoto took out the samurai sword from the beach, put it back into his scabbard and asked: "How many people are there? Are they the enemy's advance troops?"

    He had known that the enemy might use the port as a key target for attack, but what he didn't expect was that the enemy would move so quickly.

    The Japanese communications soldier loudly said: "There is no end in sight. The road is full of enemy armored vehicles and tanks, as well as trucks full of infantry.

    On the back of the truck, a large-caliber howitzer was towed.

    Our reconnaissance troops in front believe that it is the enemy's main armored force and should have rushed over from the direction of Baoding City overnight.  "

    Shigemoto walked quickly towards the headquarters, and then said with great dissatisfaction: "Damn it!! Where are our reconnaissance troops around Baoding City? We didn't discover the large-scale movement of the enemy troops. Are they all blind and deaf?  ?¡±

    The Japanese soldier said: "The enemy set out late at night, and their actions were very secretive. By the time our reconnaissance force discovered them, they were already south of the port."

    Soon, after combining the basics, we arrived at the temporary headquarters set up next to the port.

    That was an iron container, a temporarily transformed command post.

    Although it is very crude, it can avoid enemy artillery fire very well.

    After all, when the enemy is bombarding, the buildings in the port must be the first target of the bombardment.

    But these containers scattered all over the port may not attract so much attention.

    Entering the headquarters, he immediately took off his white gloves, then unfolded the map and said: "Mark the enemy's position immediately."

    The Japanese staff officer next to him heard it and immediately marked the location.

    "The enemy's armored forces are advancing very fast. The latest intelligence is that the enemy has advanced to Chenghua Town here.

    However, the troops on the front line reported that they had no intention of stopping here. Instead, they continued to advance towards us. It seemed that they wanted to attack the port where we were stationed in one go.  "

    The Japanese military staff officer reported to Shigemoto Heyihui.

    Shigemoto nodded, and then said: "Inform the troops to immediately place anti-tank mines on the southern highway to delay the enemy's movements.

    The enemy is an armored force, and its advance is terrifyingly fast.They must complete the laying of anti-tank mines within half an hour.

    In addition, a telegram was immediately sent to the Peking side, asking them to send reinforcements to support the port.

    Also notified nearby aviation units to provide fire support for our army.

    All warships docked at the port immediately left the port to serve as artillery on the sea, using naval guns to provide fire support for our operations on land.  "

    With that said, he looked at the seven or eight Japanese destroyers, two minesweepers, and a battleship parked in the port.

    If the naval guns on these warships fire a salvo, their deterrence is definitely no worse than that of a heavy artillery regiment, or even stronger.

    Because many naval guns on warships have very large calibers.  When a shell hits it, it is devastating and can destroy living targets within the scope of a football field.

    Peiping quickly responded with a combined telegram, saying with great regret that the city of Beiping was being attacked from two sides by the enemy, and there was no way to allocate more troops to support them.

    ¡°However, the Japanese aviation force in the Liaoning area expressed its willingness to provide fire support.  But if the enemy has air defense units, they will choose not to support them.

    The Japanese warships parked in the port began to sail into the sea.

    However, these warships did not go far, but anchored more than ten kilometers away from the coast.

    Then adjust the muzzle to the shooting angle, ready to provide fire support to the Japanese troops stationed at the port at any time.

    After preparing this series, he looked towards the south with a focused gaze.

    According to the latest intelligence, the enemy's armored forces are less than ten kilometers away from them.

    At a position ten kilometers away from the port, Hao Shiwen ordered the towed artillery to begin to divide into two groups.

    A supporting firepower as an attack port, providing firepower support for the armored force that attacked positive.

    The other branch, with more than thirty doors in total, was pulled by trucks and dispersed along the coastline.

    The purpose of this artillery unit is very simple, which is to use extended-range artillery shells to attack Japanese warships parked on the sea.

    Otherwise, these naval guns of Japanese warships will pose a great threat to their armored forces.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
