    The Japanese soldier on the side reminded.

    Ping Tianzhen also looked at the situation outside and knew that if they continued to stay inside this headquarters, the enemy's napalm bombs might burn them into charcoal.

    He didn¡¯t say much, and followed his soldiers towards their underground fortifications.

    Following the secret passage and passing through an iron gate, they entered the underground headquarters.

    Compared with the defenses of other Japanese soldiers on the ground, this underground headquarters is built more solidly.

    Originally this was a cellar, but after the Japanese troops arrived here, they transformed it into a temporary air raid shelter.

    They thought they might never use this air-raid shelter.

    But they didn¡¯t expect that in just a week, they had already used it.

    Other troops of the Japanese army were in relatively simple fortifications, praying that the aerial bombs and artillery shells falling overhead would not fall on their own fortifications.

    It is almost impossible for their simple defenses to withstand the bombardment of those large-caliber artillery shells and aerial bombs that have fallen from high altitude.

    When the air and artillery units of the Fourth Army bombarded the Japanese positions.

    At this moment, the troops responsible for attacking them are also moving forward little by little.

    They tried to get as close to the Japanese positions as possible while ensuring their own safety.

    After the bombing is over, they can attack the Japanese defensive positions as quickly as possible.

    When the port was violently bombarded by the Fourth Army, Japanese troops in other directions had also moved in this direction to provide support.

    The order they received was very firm, and they must reach the port with support before dawn.

    For the Japanese army, this is a distance mission. After all, some troops are dozens of kilometers away from the port. It is simply impossible to rush to the port in a few hours.

    Only the nearest brigade can get there.

    What's more, other Japanese troops and the scout troops sent forward have reported that the bridges they need to pass along the way have been occupied by the enemy.

    The enemy has built many defensive positions there. If they want to attack the bridge, they will definitely spend a lot of effort.

    However, the Japanese army is also ready to let the engineering troops build bridges and directly bypass the bridges.

    "The troops are ready and ready to go at any time."

    Outside Tianjin, in a small town that was almost in ruins, Chizuki Neiji, chief of staff of the Japanese 49th Division, said.

    Behind him is the Japanese division commander Hirota Morishige, who has a serious look, a square face, big ears, dark complexion, and a short body.

    "Order the troops to set off immediately and maintain a triangular marching formation."

    Morishige Hirota was worried that their troops would encounter an enemy ambush on the way to support the port, so he planned to adopt such a marching formation to avoid the enemy's ambush troops to the greatest extent.

    According to his estimation, if the enemy's troops ambush their leading troops, the other two troops on the side and rear can immediately support the leading troops in front.

    As his order was issued, the Japanese troops here immediately began a large-scale march.

    Their team was vast, numbering more than 27,000 people.

    Originally, as a second-class division, their military strength was not as good as that of an A-class division. However, due to the needs after going to the battlefield, this division added a cavalry regiment, an anti-aircraft artillery brigade, and a heavy artillery brigade.

    This allowed his troop deployment to reach the level of a first-class division.

    Only in terms of firepower, there is still some gap between it and the first-class divisions.

    Of course, as the war progresses, there are fewer and fewer first-class divisions in the Japanese army.

    Many first-class divisions were reorganized after being wiped out on the battlefield. Their combat effectiveness and firepower are far from the previous first-class divisions.

    The soldiers of the Japanese 49th Division, known as "Wolves", were recruited near the capital. Although they had participated in some battles before, there were no large-scale battles.

    Many of these soldiers have actually never participated in combat.

    Only a part of the troops had several small-scale battles with the blocking troops of the Fourth Army and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

    Such combat experience is obviously not enough to support them in facing the offensive of tens of thousands of troops from the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.

    The first two regiments of the Japanese army to move out wereAt the front of this triangle formation.

    If they are really ambushed along the way, if the donkey lips behind are wrong, they can be quickly supported.

    Morishige Hirota took out the cigarettes from his pocket, then jumped into the truck nearby, and said to the chief of staff beside him: "Let the forward troops be more vigilant, and the cavalry troops will keep patrolling on the outside."

    "yes!!!"

    In front of the Japanese army, the vanguard of the 49th Wolf Division, the two regiments, were like black pythons, marching under the cover of night.

    ??According to their current speed of action, they will probably need to wait until noon tomorrow to arrive at the port.

    This does not include the enemy blocking troops that they will inevitably encounter on the road.

    Over their heads, enemy fighter jets and bomber formations were constantly roaring past.

    At first, these Japanese soldiers had to lie on the ground to avoid possible bombings.

    But as these fighter jets and nuclear bombers frequently flew over their heads, these Japanese soldiers realized that the targets of those bombers and fighter jets were not them at all.

    The targets of these air power bombings are the places they want to support.

    As the first unit to set out, they have a further distance to advance than the two units at the rear.

    The distance is still peaceful now, less than three kilometers.

    Originally, according to their plan, they were to cross the river directly on the bridge in front.

    But they had received news before that the enemy on the opposite side directly occupied the entire bridge, and there were many defensive troops. If they wanted to cross the river, they would either choose to build a bridge elsewhere or capture the bridge occupied by the enemy.

    ?Obviously, the latter is a more suitable choice.

    To build a bridge on such a wide river, it may take about a month to build it only by relying on the engineering strength of their division.

    If you choose to attack the troops occupied by the enemy on the opposite side, although it may take some time, it is always better than waiting for a whole day.

    "Let me ask the division commander for instructions. The enemy in front has occupied the bridge. Judging from the information sent by the reconnaissance force, they have a large number of people, at least two thousand. (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
