Hashimoto Group quickly said," Commander, although we only have 1,000 warriors, I have already issued an emergency recruitment order. All the Empire's citizens in Tianjin, men between the ages of 15 to 60, will be recruited to form a volunteer team to prevent any accidents."”
"According to our initial estimates, we can recruit at least two thousand people. I believe that with these two thousand people, we can also strengthen our strength.”
"How do we deal with the weapons?" Katsuki asked with a frown.”
Hashimoto Group replied," We have stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in various parts of North China in case of any accidents. Most of them are in Tianjin. Let alone arming another 2,000 people, even if another 2,000 people came, we would have enough weapons and ammunition.”
"Yosh!"
Seiji Katsuki nodded in satisfaction and said,"However, these immigrants are temporarily recruited. They are strong and powerful, but their combat strength is not too strong.”
"Commander, the 20th division has departed from Korea. They're about to reach Shanhaiguan by train." Hashimoto Group quickly said.”
"After they arrive at Shanhaiguan, they will launch an attack on the eastern Hebei region. It is only a matter of time before they recapture the eastern Hebei region.”
"In addition, the Kwantung Army has also transferred two mixed regiments, led by Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, to prepare to attack Peiping from Gubeikou.”
"Moreover, the Guandong Army will continue to transfer troops to support North China.”
"So the difficulties are only temporary. As long as we survive these few days, everything will be easy.”
Katsuki Kiyoshi calmed down a little and said,""But now that Zhang Yuanqing has taken Langfang, it seems that they have the intention to continue attacking Tianjin. It's still unknown whether we can defend Tianjin.”
" Tianjin is still in the hands of the 29th division," Hashimoto replied." We can put pressure on the Chinese to stop them from entering Tianjin."”
"And Tianjin is different from other places. There are still four concessions here. In addition to the Empire's concessions, there are also concessions from Eagle, France, and Italy.”
"It is perfectly reasonable for us to be in our own rented land. If Zhang Yuanqing dares to attack our rented land, then the one provoking him won't just be our Great Japanese Empire.”
"When the time comes, we can join forces with the above countries and put pressure on them. This way, they won't dare to invade the rented land.”
"Moreover, according to my analysis, the reason why Zhang Yuanqing has such a large influence is definitely because of the support of the European and American countries.”
"Although we can't be sure which country it is, they will never let their own country's interests be damaged, so I'm afraid that Zhang Yuanqing doesn't have the guts to invade our rented land.”
Katsuki nodded slightly and said," Hashimoto's analysis makes sense!"
"We'll do as you say. We have to do everything we can to stop Zhang Yuanqing from entering Tianjin.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Don't worry, Commander. We will do our best to stop the enemy from advancing into Tianjin." Hashimoto Group quickly replied.”
……
The next morning, Zhang Yuanqing drove to Tianjin.
However, Zhang Yuanqing did not bring many troops with him. He only brought the guards and special forces.
Yang Desheng was appointed as the brigade commander of the 2nd Brigade. He led about 4,000 men to stay in Langfang and rest temporarily, waiting for further orders.
Before Zhang Yuanqing entered Jinmen, he had sent someone to send a visiting card to the chief of Jinmen City, the commander of the 38th division of the 29th army, Lieutenant General Zhang Zizhong.
Zhang Yuanqing admired Lieutenant General Zhang Zizhong very much, not because his surname was Zhang.
It was because Lieutenant General Zhang Zizhong was a world-famous hero who fought against the Japanese. As a Chinese, there were very few people who had not heard of Zhang Zizhong's name.
Zhang Yuanqing was full of admiration for such a national hero.
Qin Feng led the special forces, about 200 people, and left Zhang Yuanqing outside the city to act independently.
With the increase in strength, the special forces were also strengthened, and the number of troops increased.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to make a scene, so he only brought Li Long and the other guards into Jinmen City.
General Zhang Zizhong also gave his orders in advance. The checkpoints along the way naturally wouldn't stop them. He directly sent people to bring Zhang Yuanqing and the others into the city and to the headquarters of the 38th division.
Zhang Zizhong had already received the news and was personally welcoming them at the door.
"Zhang Shao Shuai, please forgive me for not welcoming you.”
"General Zhang, you're too polite. I've heard a lot about you. It's my honor to meet you today."”
Zhang Zizhong smiled and said,"I'm ashamed, ashamed!" Zhang Shao Shuai, please come in."
"General Zhang, please!"
The group of people came to the living room and sat down. The two of them chatted with each other as if they were old acquaintances. In fact, it was only their first time meeting.
At this moment, an orderly served tea.
"Zhang Shao Shuai, please have some tea!"
"Thank you, General Zhang!"
The tea was over!
"I'm sorry to ask, but I wonder what brings Zhang Shao Shuai to Tianjin?" asked Zhang Zizhong with a smile.”
" I won't beat around the bush," Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile." I only have one goal, and that is to eliminate the Japanese in Tianjin and drive them out of Tianjin."”
Please urge me to change.
