Chapter 230: Deploying The Japanese Army’s Operation To Attack Tianjin
The 29th Army 38th Division Command Post stationed in Tianjin City,
After just discussing the deployment for the sneak attack on the Japanese Army operation with Security Team Security Commander Liu Jialuan and First Battalion 112 Brigade Commander Li Zhiyuan,
Deputy Division Commander Li Wentian also returned to his own command post here, holding a meeting with his direct lineage regiment commander Guo Jingming.
“Although Japanese North China Garrison Army Commander Katsuki Kiyoshi was successfully decapitated by those German-equipped troops, the Japanese Army commander now taking his position is still the previous two garrison headquarters commanders, Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro, and Garrison Army Infantry Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo!”
“In addition, there is 20th Division Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo! And some subsequent Japanese Army division commanders coming to aid are commanding the battle in Beiping City, and even the defense battle of Tianjin City that we are about to face must also be fought against these Japanese invaders’ commanders!”
“So the combat deployment I just discussed with Security Team Commander Li Haishi is to strike simultaneously in three directions: one route attacks the enemy Haiguangsi Barracks, straight to the Garrison Headquarters; one route attacks the Japanese Army Dongjuzi Airport, striking air power; one route attacks the Tianjin East Station and North Station already occupied by the Japanese Army, controlling the railway line, preventing the Japanese invaders’ subsequent reinforcements.”
“But our current troop strength is limited, and weaponry is inferior, so for this combat deployment, we must carry it out with desperate combat methods!”
“Otherwise, it will be hard for us to achieve the victory we want!”
“You know, even the elite German-equipped troops that achieved a series of astonishing victory reports in Beiping City were forced to evacuate Beiping City by the Japanese Army! Not to mention we do not have the same excellent weaponry and tank units’ support operation as those elite German-equipped troops!”
“So for tomorrow’s combat mission of attacking the enemy Haiguangsi Barracks and straight to the Garrison Headquarters, I entrust you to lead an elite suicide squad to execute the operation, and you must achieve victory!”
“At the very least, decapitate Garrison Army Infantry Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo! Those German-equipped troops could successfully decapitate Japanese North China Garrison Army Commander Katsuki Kiyoshi, and we can also decapitate a Japanese Army brigade commander!”
“Especially at the moment when morale is at its highest in the city, we need even more to achieve a victory report to stabilize this high morale, making our subsequent operations to resist Japanese invaders smoother!”
For his trusted direct lineage regiment commander Guo Jingming,
Deputy Division Commander Li Wentian also did not conceal, frankly revealing his combat deployment, and fully entrusting the most important combat mission of decapitating Japanese high-level brigade commander Major General Kawabe Shozo to the other to execute.
“Yes! Division Commander, rest assured!”
“I will definitely complete your combat mission, and absolutely will not drag our troops down!”
“I still understand the principle that everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation!”
“I will certainly not continue to lose the face and glory of our 29th Army like those 29th Army remnants who evacuated Beiping City in the middle of the night! Even if I die on the battlefield, I will decapitate that damned Japanese invaders brigade commander Major General Kawabe Shozo!”
“That way, I will die with value!”
After hearing Deputy Division Commander Li Wentian value and trust him so much,
Trusted direct lineage regiment commander Guo Jingming also hurriedly expressed with excited emotions.
And promised to guarantee the successful decapitation of Japanese invaders brigade commander Major General Kawabe Shozo.
“Good! I trust you!”
Deputy Division Commander Li Wentian said very satisfied.
Then he continued to deploy troops and generals,
And prepared to set his own commander-in-chief post at the southwest gate,
And was thinking about which troops to dispatch to attack the Japanese Army’s Dongjuzi Airport, and be able to burn the more than ten Japanese aircraft inside,
Because Dongjuzi Airport is the Japanese Army’s main airport in North China, as long as all the airplanes inside are destroyed, the Japanese aircraft group’s air strike bombing operation can be temporarily cut off.
So this combat action is also very important, thus after thinking it over, Deputy Division Commander Li Wentian also decided to entrust this important combat mission to Independent 26th Brigade Zhu Chunfang Regiment First Battalion and Security Team Second Company to execute.
