Under the attack of the advance party, the turrets were pulled out one after another.
One by one, the Japanese squads were systematically eliminated.
A large number of Japanese were buried in the ruins without even knowing what was going on.
The Japs in the county town are a bit better.
But only a little bit.
After seeing the Eighth Route Army from a distance, the Japanese just climbed onto the tower.
Two 105mm artillery shells fell down.
Directly blasting the Japanese on the city wall into the sky.
The people from the county brigade were also preparing to have people carry ladders to attack the city.
But it was directly rejected by the artillery.
The 105mm muzzle fired one shot at the door, directly blowing it to pieces.
The city wall defense was completely useless.
Compared with siege warfare, street fighting is relatively more difficult.
After all, the enemy and ourselves are intertwined, and the advantages of artillery cannot be used.
But that's not a problem either.
There were more Communist troops than Japanese troops.
The weapons and equipment are better than those of the Japanese.
Even the training is higher than that of the Japanese.
During the street fighting, the Japanese were still using 38 rifles, and they had to pull the bolt to hit them.
But the Communist army has changed its equipment into submachine guns.
A hail of bullets hit him.
Under this almost generational gap in weapons, the Japanese casualties skyrocketed.
Faced with a huge disadvantage, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell into despair and launched a desperate charge.
Then, I was taught how to be a human being by machine gun bullets.
Rows of Japanese soldiers fell under machine guns.
The battle in the county seat took only half a day to complete.
All the Japanese were wiped out on the spot, and all members of the security group and the puppet regime were sent to labor camps to undergo transformation.
This is just the progress of an advance team.
There are a total of 50 advance teams like this in the Communist Army.
They lined up and launched an attack on the fortresses and county towns in the North China Theater.
On the first day alone, more than 70 strongholds of various sizes were captured and more than 170 gun towers were destroyed.
Annihilated more than 30,000 Japanese troops and captured more than 50,000 puppet troops.
The front advanced more than 70 kilometers.
The attack speed is amazing.
The progress on the Eighth Road was going smoothly, but Shouichi in the temple had a big headache.
Because the troops are dispersed and the number of radio stations is limited.
Sometimes the transmitter can only be distributed to the county seat.
Many of the forts and strongholds below still use human communications.
So that the communication below became a mess.
Much of the information is even contradictory.
It was impossible to tell how many troops had been attacked.
Where was captured.
The strategic map was drawn by a group of combat staff, like graffiti, and was repeatedly erased, turning it into a mess.
But what is certain is that the entire North China has been attacked on a large scale.
And the momentum is strong.
When Juichi Terauchi was irritable, the telegram from the base camp came again.
Terauchi Juichi was asked to report on the current specific battle situation.
Temple Shouichi almost went crazy.
He himself doesn’t know the specific situation, so how can he report it?
Suddenly, Shouichi Terauchi thought of a question.
That is, the Communist army started its offensive today.
From the beginning of the attack to now, no more than 24 hours have passed.
He has never reported to base camp.
Logically speaking, the base camp should not know the situation.
Now, the base camp actually asked him about the status of the front.
Someone must have leaked the news.
Shouichi in the temple was numb.
He never expected that when he was so distressed by the front line, someone stabbed him in the back and quietly reported the situation to the base camp.
This is going to kill him.
"Baga, who leaked the news?"
Temple Shouichi pulled out his long knife and slashed it on the table.
The group of combat staff looked at each other in confusion and had no idea what the commander was going crazy about.
Just when Juichi Terauchi was in a state of panic.
Wei Wu, the initiator of all this, kept making small reports to the base camp.
"Since the communist army can drop leaflets here, they will definitely drop bombs here."
"There are a large number of expatriates gathered here, and it is the duty of the military to protect our country's expatriates."
"There are a large number of industrial workers from the mainland in the Tianjin base. These skilled workers are the most precious wealth. We must protect them. It is best to transport them to a safe area and come back after the situation stabilizes."
"The machines can be rebuilt if they are gone, but it will take at least a few years to train skilled workers. Please don't lose the big for the small."
Wei Wu was like a fly, constantly buzzing in Shanshan Yuan's ears.
One telegram after another fell into the hands of Sugiyama Yuan.
Because Juichi Terauchi never figured out the accurate information, he never dared to report it.
The garrisons in other cities did not have orders from Juichi Terauchi and did not dare to speak nonsense.
As a result, on Sugiyama Yuan's side, Wei Wu was the only channel that could understand the situation on the front line.
Under Wei Wu's constant repetition, Tianjin was described as a city that could be attacked at any time.
At the drop of a hat, important personnel need to be evacuated immediately.
Sugiyama Yuan feels that from an intellectual point of view, Wei Wu's statement is correct.
Talent is the most important thing. If we keep people, there will be hope.
However, the establishment of the Tianjin base took too much energy.
As soon as it was put into production, it was about to be shut down and people evacuated.
The waste during this period is really too great.
So much so that he couldn't make up his mind.
"Is there any other way?"
Sugiyama Gen asked.
"have."
Wei Wu replied immediately.
"any solution?"
Sugiyama Yuan's eyes lit up.
"It is recommended that the Kwantung Army be immediately mobilized to increase the number of troops."
"With one million Kwantung troops, they will surely be able to stabilize the front and defend North China."
"Even retaking the Yangtze River defense line is unknown."
Wei Wu replied.
"Forget it."
Sugiyama Yuan's head shook like a rattle.
The Kwantung Army cannot be moved anywhere.
Tohoku is the most important region in Japan.
In history, even in the most difficult moments, the Kwantung Army was not mobilized to other battlefields.
They were all nailed to the northeast, not daring to move at all.
On the one hand, this place is too important.
On the other hand, there is a furry bear above the head that is ready to go south at any time.
The Battle of Nomenkan has already cast a psychological shadow on the Japanese.
Even though the Soviet Union was at war with Germany at this time.
Japan does not dare to go north again.
It is even necessary to increase the number of troops for defense.
The Kwantung Army must not be moved.
"Then there is only one way to retreat."
The Japanese know how to compromise.
When Wei Wu wanted to take people to evacuate, Sugiyama Yuan didn't want to.
But when Wei Wu chose to mobilize the Kwantung Army, Sugiyama Yuan agreed to withdraw.
"You can evacuate, but you cannot evacuate too far. You must first evacuate the personnel to a safe place. Then, transport all the machines away. Even if Tianjin is occupied, production capacity must be maintained."
Sugiyama Yuan warned.
"clear."
After turning off the transmitter, Wei Wu stepped out of the car and said loudly: "Brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune has come."
"General Genda Sugiyama, the general staff officer of the base camp, asked us to evacuate expatriates and factory workers, but our carrying capacity is limited, so I made a decision to sell the number of people to carry. Now, you go and recruit people. For each one you bring, you will be rewarded 100 yuan. "
