    Their attack on the port will also be greatly hindered by the presence of these Japanese naval guns.

    These artillery pieces will be towed by trucks and maneuver along the coastline.  In order to avoid being targeted by Japanese naval guns, they had to turn into guerrillas, shoot once and then run away, and then continue to shoot again after running away.

    This back and forth prevented the Japanese troops from approaching the coastline.

    Hao Shiwen and others already know the range of the Japanese battleship's main gun through data, which is about thirty kilometers.

    The most powerful Japanese battleship Yamato has a range of 40 kilometers, but it is in Southeast Asia and not near the Bohai Sea.

    The range of the large-caliber howitzers equipped by Hao Shiwen and others even exceeded the range of the Japanese battleship main gun to a certain extent when using extended-range shells.

    So Hao Shiwen's use of these large-caliber howitzers is equivalent to having a mobile fort near the coastline.  It can effectively attack Japanese warships trying to approach this coastline.

    Even if it cannot be sunk, it can still act as a good deterrent.

    At noon that day, Hao Shiwen's armored troops had arrived to the south of the Japanese port.

    Their artillery units also arrived at their predetermined positions and began to build artillery positions.

    Tianjin Port is divided by the Haihe River. There are two main ports, one in the north and one in the south.

    The south side is a deep-water port, where Japanese warships are parked.  What the Japanese army must garrison is the deep-water port in the south.

    Otherwise, they can abandon the southern port and directly use the Haihe River, a natural barrier, to prevent the advancement of enemy armored forces.

    But now, the Japanese army can only concentrate its main combat forces in the area near Haihe River.

    Zhongbenheyi could clearly see from the observation post at the front that the enemy's armored vehicles had arrived at the periphery of their position.

    These armored vehicles are not here to attack Japanese positions, but to mark the coordinates of firepower points and Japanese defensive positions to facilitate the artillery units behind them to launch attacks on the Japanese army.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Army who had been marching all night were setting up camp near a village south of the port to rest temporarily.

    Only a few kilometers from this village to the north, you can see the port where the Japanese troops were stationed.

    At this time, the Tianjin Port seemed like a big girl with open arms, welcoming the arrival of the Fourth Army.

    While the soldiers took the time to rest, Hao Shiwen and the main commanders involved in the attack had no intention of stopping and resting.

    Based on the reconnaissance of the Fourth Army reconnaissance aircraft in the past few days and the data provided by the armored reconnaissance vehicle just now, he has filled up the paper and roughly drawn the Japanese defense map at the port.

    ¡°The Japanese army¡¯s defensive strength is not too large, and judging from the intelligence we have, they do not have many anti-tank weapons.

    When our army attacks, we need to pay attention to the following points.  The first is the enemy's naval gunfire on the sea. When our armored forces advance, they must be driven away after the Japanese naval gunfire.  while keeping the charge formation dispersed.

    The second point is the close cooperation between infantry and tank collaborative tactics, as well as the cooperation with air fire support.  Try not to expose the shortcomings of each unit to the enemy.

    The third point is to cross the Haihe River and detour towards the Japanese troops to the north. After completing the crossing at night, they immediately capture the northern port of Tianjin Port and encircle the Japanese army in the southern port.

    The fourth point, and the most important point, is that our attack time is limited, and we need to fully capture this port before dawn tomorrow.

    At the same time, a strong defense line was built on the shore.

    For us, capturing the port here is just the first step in the battle.  Because the enemy's four divisions, totaling more than 100,000 troops, have already arrived on warships and are rushing towards us.

    It is conceivable that there will be a very brutal beach landing battle. We must build a complete line of defense in the coastal area before the Japanese warships arrive.  "

    Hao Shiwen stated all the key points of this attack in one breath.

    Hearing these words, the commander of an armored regiment next to him said: "There is no problem. The only thing is, can we leave the main attack task to our regiment? When we attacked Baoding City before, our regiment didn't get anything."

    Hao Shiwen laughed suddenly and saidHe said: "No problem. Originally, the main attack mission should be your regiment's. Now you go down immediately to prepare. The attack on the Japanese army will be launched in two and a half hours. Let the soldiers seize the time to rest."

    "yes!!"

    Everyone said in unison and immediately returned to the temporary camps they had set up.

    At this time, in the Tianjin area, the Japanese defense strength was very empty.

    Although Hao Shiwen's other infantry units moved later than the armored units, they would still be able to reach the south of Tianjin in another day.

    These troops, except for some of them, cooperated with the armored troops led by Hao Shiwen personally to launch attacks on the Japanese army.  The rest will launch an attack on Tianjin and then launch a fierce attack from Langfang.

    Then divide some troops to support the Shanhaiguan area.  Stabilize the defense of the entire Pingjin area.

    Because the Japanese counterattack must be very violent.

    Based on the information the Fourth Army has now, the Japanese army has already dispatched six reorganized divisions and a powerful fleet to support the Pingjin area.

    As for the follow-up, the Japanese army will inevitably deploy more troops to launch a fierce attack on North China.

    At that time, the battle they need to face will truly begin.

    As time went by, it soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

    After the rest, the soldiers immediately began to enter armored vehicles and tanks, and then led the infantry closer to the Japanese position.

    Others are advancing northward along the Haihe River. They will capture the Haihe Bridge there and then complete the task of crossing the river from there.

    There were only two Japanese squadrons guarding the Haihe Bridge.  Because the bridge is made of reinforced concrete, it is extremely strong.

    They used a large amount of explosives to blast the bridge piers, but to no avail.

    A bridge with this kind of structure requires the use of a large amount of explosives to destroy it.

    But now the Japanese army is in a very embarrassing situation. Even for these explosives, they have no place to find them.

    Hao Shiwen looked at the watch on his wrist, and then began to issue the order to attack.

    As his order was issued, their howitzer unit was the first to attack.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
