Chapter 103 Tianjin Concession (10)

After breaking through the defense line of the concession, the subsequent battle went very smoothly. Firstly, because the soldiers in the concession had no fighting spirit at this time, and secondly, it was also a tactical approach to cross the army.

After invading the concession, the crossing army did not blindly rush up, but instead went from several roads to advance in a row in a company. When attacking, the nearby Zhigao arrangement snipers and machine gun firepower were first selected as support for the entire army. When the troops advanced, they used one platoon as the arrow and the other two platoons were covering the left and right respectively. In this way, they cooperated with the crossing army. Once they found an enemy in the nearby house, they shot several rockets without hesitation, blowing the house to pieces. Even if the people inside were not dead, they were only half their lives left. Therefore, the crossing army encountered almost no strong resistance.

The consuls of various countries were even more determined to resist. After learning that the defense line was broken, they immediately hung red and white flags at the door, indicating that this was a residential area rather than a military area. At the same time, they also advised the fleeing soldiers to put down their weapons and not resist, so as not to harm everyone.

However, the speed of the army's progress through the passage is not fast. After all, it is to fight in the city. You should not be eager to achieve success. It is better to fight steadily. When encountering a demilitarized zone, you will also simply check to see if there are any soldiers and guns hiding, and then leave a small number of soldiers to guard it, and merge the nearby residential areas into large residential areas for easy management.

Therefore, it was not until about one afternoon that the crossing army basically controlled the entire concession, killing 423 enemy troops and capturing 535 people. Six of the crossing army died, and more than 500 rifles, two machine guns, and more than 12,000 bullets were seized. At the same time, fifty-seven steam steamers and eighty-two wooden ships were seized at the dock. Few people escaped from the concession.

All the personnel in the concession were concentrated in six large residential areas, namely the French Camp, the Zizhulin Church, the British Consulate, Gordon Hall, the Pacific Foreign Service, the Victoria Hospital, and the consulates of other countries. The crossing army sent troops to guard these places.

Seeing that he finally controlled the concession, Qin Yuhai breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reported the results to the Dagukou Command. At the same time, he also further searched the concession. On the one hand, he was to find out if there were any fish that had missed the net. On the other hand, he also seized all warehouses, foreign companies, shops and factories in the concession, and waited for the temporary executive committee to send people to deal with it. At the same time, the number of people in the concentration areas of residents was also counted.

After searching the concession for an afternoon, more than 300 people and twenty-six rifles were found. According to statistics, the population in the concession was 1,887; there were 4,915 foreigners, including 976 men and 99 women, totaling 11 countries in Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the United States, Italy, Italy, Austria, Portuguese, and Portuguese. There were 907 Chinese people, 641 men and 541 women.

The British and French concessions had an area of ​​more than 000 acres, but the population was less than 14,000 people. The place should be quite loose. There were twenty-three houses damaged in the battle, nine of which were seriously damaged and could not be used anymore. The other fourteen were not damaged much, and they could still be used again only if they were repaired. Overall, the construction damage in the concessions was not serious, and the tasks assigned by the Military Commission were basically completed.

It was already late at this time, and Qin Yuhai also received a communication from Dagukou. The Dagukou would send someone to take over the management of the Concession and Tianjin City tomorrow morning.

Qin Yuhai also contacted Qiu Yahui, who was left behind in Tianjin. The city of Tianjin was basically safe, so Qin Yuhai decided to spend the night in the concession that night and also guard the supervisors.

On the eighth morning the next morning, a white ship was sailing along the Haihe River and arrived at the Tianjin Ying Concession Wharf to dock. Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao were led by two people and got off the ship.

Qin Yuhai was also a little surprised. Although he received a communication from the command center yesterday that someone would come to Tianjin to take over the management affairs of Tianjin today, he did not expect that it would be Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, Xu Jichao, and the five executive committee members, and three of them would come at once.

It turned out that I received a report from Qin Yuhai yesterday afternoon and learned that Tianjin City and the Concession Area had been captured by the army. At this time, the Tianjin Battle was all over, and the Japanese army that crossed the army to defeat the Japanese army that attacked Dagukou, conquered Tianjin City, and occupied the Tianjin Concession and achieved a comprehensive victory.

After statistics on various battlefields, in this battle, a total of 786 enemy troops were annihilated, 1,074 enemy troops were captured, and the majority of the enemy prisoners were annihilated. However, the prisoners only counted the soldiers in the concession, which did not include the residents in the concession. A total of 116 various rifles, more than 60,000 bullets, 4 machine guns, six artillery guns, more than 60 donkeys and horses, more than 0 cars, 18 wooden ships, and several military supplies were seized on the battlefield.

Although the materials seized in Tianjin City and the Concession Area have not yet been counted, according to the report, the materials in Tianjin City and the Concession Area are very rich and can fully supply the development needs of the Travel Group for a considerable period of time in the future. With the material foundation, it will be much easier to formulate a development plan in the next step. So the temporary executive committee of Dagukou immediately held a meeting to discuss how to take over Tianjin and develop its own strength, because this is the first large city captured by the Travel Army and the only current foothold, so naturally he dare not be careless.

Although there are still some administrative management experience in the interim executive committee, these experiences have been obtained in modern society, and no one knows whether they can be applied to this era. After all, although the time is only a hundred years away, the social form has undergone earth-shaking changes. We must never copy the management experience of modern society to this era. Therefore, it is necessary to go to Tianjin to understand the situation first, after all, there is no right to speak without adjustment.

In addition, although the Interim Executive Committee had made a decision to move the center of the Crossing Group to Tianjin before launching the Battle of Tianjin. However, this migration was not achieved overnight. It was impossible to move everyone or most of the people to Tianjin at once. At least accommodation was an unsolvable problem, because in Dagukou, except for the army, other crossing personnel basically lived on three passenger roulettes. Therefore, it is entirely necessary to send some people to Tianjin to prepare for the relocation of the brigade.

The final result of the discussion was that Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, Xu Jichao led the team, as well as executive members Shang Qisong, Jiang Shiwei, and Li Sanjie; alternate executive members Li Songchen, Wang Sheng, You Mingqian, Ren Wendian, Wang Jun, An Xiangui, and Lu Hong had a total of ten people.

Qin Zheng can represent the military command and mobilize the army, while Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao are both government officials and have considerable administrative management experience; among the twelve executive members, seven are captains of each ship, so of course they cannot move. Zhang Yuming and Jia Zhenzhao are now in charge of the work of the Personnel and Technical Departments, and they cannot leave. Only Shang Qisong, Jiang Shiwei and Li Sanjie are fine; among the alternate executive members, except for military personnel, Zeng Dong and Jia Wenbo are now assisting Zhang Yuming and Jia Zhenzhao's work, and the captains of the three passenger boats cannot leave, and all the people who can move the place are sent to Tianjin. After all, there are not many things in Dagukou, and it is useless to stay in Dagukou. It is better to go to Tianjin first, familiarize yourself with the situation as soon as possible, and work is easier.

At the same time, there was also a medical team composed of twelve people, and a company was drawn from the reserve army, and 200 people were selected from the release personnel in Dagukou. Although this time we went to Tianjin mainly for investigation, it was not that we did not do anything, so we sent more people to do things, and there were enough staff when doing things.

The people released from Dagukou learned that the time travel army had achieved a comprehensive victory and also captured Tianjin and the concession area. While shocked, they even admired the time travel group even more. Only then did these people fully believe that the time travel group could defeat foreigners and protect themselves, and that was completely naturalized. Therefore, when they wanted to draw a group of people from them to Tianjin, they all signed up one after another, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After the candidate was decided, it was decided to go to Tianjin in two ways. Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao took the executive committee member, alternate executive committee member and medical team to Tianjin by waterway. At the same time, the hydrological situation of the Haihe River along the way was examined to prepare for the future opening of the Haihe River waterway. In addition, some equipment was loaded on the boat.

The reserve troops and naturalized personnel went to Tianjin by land, and there was a road from Dagukou to Tianjin. According to the standards of this era, this road was still medium and upper-level. However, for time travelers, this road must meet the standard of being able to take cars. After all, from Dagukou to Tianjin in the future, cars will definitely be connected. Therefore, this time travel was also a test of the situation of this road. For this reason, two engineers were specially found to accompany the time travelers.

Although there is no engineering task of building roads in the Crossing Group, the construction of power plants and shipyards are all actively and vigorously occupies a large area, and there are also considerable roads in the factory area. The main roads also require the technical level of secondary highways. Therefore, there is a special road construction team in the Crossing Group, with two senior engineers, five engineers, and technical projects under the responsibility, which can be used this time.
