The contact between Beiyang and the Japanese was dominated by the Northwest. After receiving the bonus from the Northwest Army, especially the lower-level officers and technical troops, Beiyang suddenly became richer. The organization of Beiyang towns still remained unchanged, and the original appearance was still there. There were 23,000 people in a town, which was less than 27,000 people in a division in the Northwest. However, after the addition and reduction, some extra troops will be supplemented to other places, and the lack of troops will be kept in order in each town. ◎,

In the end, in a town, the number of light and heavy machine guns increased significantly, reaching an astonishing 1,000. The Beiyang light weapons firepower has been greatly improved compared to before. As for heavy weapons, it has been transformed. Not to mention small-caliber mortars, 75 guns, and strategic large-caliber artillery, each town in Beiyang has 24 artillery pieces of more than 100 mm, of which 16 are 108 and 8 are 155. In time, some arsenals in Beijing are opened, and the artillery pieces of the artillery are relatively outdated, and the earliest ones are even more than 2 years.

With the current technology in the Northwest, even the 155 artillery two years ago may not be worse than the 180 artillery in mainstream Europe and the United States, but it is finally a weakness. Even if the Beiyang's strength, soldiers and training level are strengthened, it is impossible to fight with less and more, just like the Northwest Army, which can still be used to fight with less and more. The Beiyang's soldiers' strength is slightly worse than that of the Japanese, and its firepower is slightly higher than that of Japan, which is equivalent to half a pound of pounds.

In this case, it is not impossible to let Beiyang fight head-on with the Japanese, but it is not that necessary. After several days of careful research, especially the Beiyang side, the situation reported by the Japanese minister had invited several times before taking action in the south, which allowed the General Staff to see an opportunity and designed such an action.

Taking advantage of Japan's defeat, we took the initiative to move closer to Japan and strive to enter Tianjin. The Northwest Army will cooperate accordingly and strive to perform this scene well.

Everything went very smoothly. The Japanese had never thought that Beiyang was using fraud. Although Japan was defeated, its strength was still there, and Beiyang joined. Its strength was limited, but it was still possible as cannon fodder. Especially when the Northwest Army was pressing step by step, Beiyang was defending in Tianjin, which was a steady way to defend the retreat.

Nearly one million troops, even if they successfully retreated to Tianjin, were not safe. Looking at the Northwest Army, they obviously didn't care about Beiyang at all. They directly crossed the junction between Shandong and Hebei and entered the actual control area of ​​Beiyang.

The reason why Beiyang is willing to move closer is probably directly related to this. The two battles. The combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army gave the Japanese a deep impression. To put it bluntly, the Japanese were afraid of being beaten, otherwise millions of troops would not leave in groups. Although they had contacted the British and French parties, their merchant ships would be responsible for transporting the Japanese army to the local or North Korea. But how to get on the ship? Once they retreated to Tianjin and surrounded by the Northwest Army, they were not roundworms in the belly of the Northwest. They would not know that the Northwest would try their best to avoid such direct attacks on the city to avoid a large amount of losses from the personnel.

At this time, Beiyang took the initiative to lean on, which made the Japanese think. The things that defended the city and fought were all relying on so many people. At most, it would be possible to send a lot of weapons supported by the Americans to support Beiyang. Anyway, people would just go back, and all the weapons could not be transported back. With the support of Britain and the United States, if there were failures, there would be something else, just use Beiyang to fight against the thunder.

The Japanese generously let Beiyang enter Tianjin, and Beiyang did it carefully. In order not to arouse the Japanese's alertness, most of the artillery entered Tianjin City in the form of parts and arms, and the number of Beiyang troops entering Tianjin was slightly larger, including 7 towns and 154,000 people.

If it were other times, this number of personnel was nothing. Near Tianjin, at its peak, there were even 1.5 million troops. Although not all stationed in the city, now there are less than 3 corps in Tianjin, which means more than 10,000 people. The gap is ten times that the Japanese didn't even think much and directly gave up the military camps in the core area. In their opinion, the more people come from Beiyang, the more people will help the Japanese to thunder and cut off the back in the future.

Tianjin City was once the core of Beiyang's industrial industry. From the era of the Beiyang Navy, it was one of the slightly heavy industrial cities in China. To Yuan Shikai's Beiyang, it gradually ignored heavy industry. Most of the weapons were bought. Most of the factories left in the Beiyang era had lost their business, but there were no light industrial factories that made money.

After the Japanese came to Tianjin, although they did not start robbing in Tianjin, they actually controlled Tianjin. Some factories could not produce them, and some raw materials were occupied by the Japanese in various names. Beiyang suffered a lot of losses and had a lot of resentment towards Japan. This time, it happened that the new and old accounts were settled together.

On the day of entering, it was not that Beiyang was rude, but that most of the Japanese army had not reached the appropriate position. If Beiyang was in Tianjin and had taken action early, the Japanese army would be too far away from Tianjin, and in a relatively large place, the room for movement would become larger. Only when the Japanese army was less than 2 days away from Tianjin, that is, no more than 70 kilometers, would occupy it again. This might be able to squeeze the Japanese army into about 30 kilometers of space. This is not a large vertical and horizontal area for millions of people. If they continue to squeeze, it might be smaller.

The Japanese army left and right had no doubts. Duan Qirui led Beiyang and lived there nervously. Unexpectedly, he would really get benefits after staying there. When the Japanese army was still 200 kilometers away from Tianjin, the highest Japanese commander-in-chief Kitano Mizuno, who was left in Tianjin, suddenly visited Duan Qirui, which surprised him a little.

Fortunately, Duan Qirui suppressed the panic in his heart. Listening to Kitanomura's intention, Kitanomura did not notice Duan Qirui's panic and said to himself that he had been talking about Balabar. Duan Qirui became happier the more he listened. It turned out that they were here to strengthen Beiyang.

When I was trying to win over Beiyang, I put forward considerable conditions. Now I want to leave Beiyang to bear the thunder, so the conditions are even more favorable. Tianjin is the Japanese logistics base. Although the army of 1.5 million took away a large amount of arms, the Americans also transported some of them later, which was equivalent to extra. The Japanese army lost one-third of their troops, and their weapons would be vacant. It was completely unnecessary to transport them away, so they could only get cheaper Beiyang. In another sense, the stronger the Beiyang strength, the more it could become Japan's backing. If it could defeat the Northwest, it would be even better. Of course, this is impossible.

Duan Qirui almost burst into laughter. The Japanese supported a total of about 200 artillery pieces of 150 or more, including other light and heavy machine guns and small-caliber artillery, which was enough to support the technical equipment of the two towns. This was not the type in the Beiyang before, but the type in the northwest reinforcement.

It is a fool if you don’t take advantage of it. Now, in Tianjin City, the comparison between the Japanese and Beiyang Army is only a matter of time to take it down, but the Japanese are not good men and women. Once the situation is not good, they may blow up this batch of weapons and equipment, and now they are given to Beiyang in vain.

When Kitanomura saw Duan Qirui accepting the gift with a smile, he also smiled in his heart. He took the short hand and the short mouth. As long as Beiyang took the benefits of the Japanese, he would not be used as a cattle or a horse for the Japanese. Besides, after the Japanese withdrew, Beiyang was the master of Tianjin and had to defend himself no matter how hard he wanted.

The Japanese moved quickly and asked Beiyang to send people to accept it in the afternoon. For fear of accidents, the Japanese were generous and even sent 10 cars, all of which were newly produced trucks in the United States. The quality was incomparable to those in the northwest, but it was always a sum of money.

It is considered to be at ease if things have to be put into bags. Calculate the time. The Japanese army is almost away from Tianjin, and there is still a little more than 4 days. In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Duan Qirui will be able to take Tianjin in one day and there is still time to deploy defenses. If it is later, it will be over by a million Japanese army.

After using a secret radio station to contact Northwest and expressed his opinions, Northwest General Staff agreed and everything was under control.

After supporting a batch of Beiyang weapons, the Japanese dreamed of successfully escaping the Beiyang. Unexpectedly, the Beiyang headed by Duan Qirui and others suddenly changed its face, which had already allowed the Northwest to accept part of the Beiyang controlled area and announced it would be incorporated into the Northwest, no longer under the Beiyang as the banner, but part of China.

This message was sent directly to all parts of the world through a clear wired telegram. This is also a signal that the Beiyang began to attack, and the Beiyang army began to attack wildly against the logistics forces left by Japan.

The Japanese army's logistics forces were also quite powerful, but their number was very small, with only three regiments and less than 20,000 people, which was 10 times the gap with Beiyang. In addition, the Beiyang army was strengthened by the northwest, so they attacked first and gained the advantage.

At the beginning, he successfully defeated seven brigades of Japanese troops and wiped out almost one regiment. However, after the Japanese reacted, relying on their solid defense to resist the Beiyang troops. After several failures in the attacks, Duan Qirui had to order a little rectification and gather some troops to attack.

The ten-fold gap is not so easy to smooth. The Japanese also used the geographical advantage to make the Beiyang unable to expand. Just when Duan Qirui was anxious and was about to mobilize heavy artillery bombardment and then use his life to fill it, several guns suddenly sounded. It turned out that in order to ensure that Beiyang won, the General Staff sent two companies of special forces. Although there were only a few hundred people, it had an excellent effect in such city combat.

With the help of the special forces, the remaining two Japanese troops immediately became silent. They almost caused much damage to Beiyang and were taken down. Tianjin was easily occupied by Beiyang. (To be continued.)
