In fact, before the preparation for the combat troops to form an army, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun had a special talk with Fang Bin. Considering that he was old, an active-duty soldier, and had a high military rank, it was recommended that Fang Bin work in the administrative department, engage in military theory research, and also be able to play with Fang Bin's strengths. In the old time and space, he was originally engaged in theoretical research and teaching. After the time-travel group stabilized, Fang Bin could also serve as the principal of the military academy.

But Fang Bin politely declined the kindness of the trio, and still insisted on joining the reserve army and joining the reserve combat force. Of course, Fang Bin also understood his idea of ​​the trio, which was to go to the battlefield to fight a battle himself, because in the old time and space, Fang Bin's biggest regret was that although he had been a tank soldier for three years, he was in the endurance of the Chinese team. Not only did he not catch up with a war, he had not even participated in a decent military exercise once. Like the current army, although there was no war, it was like Zhu Rihe's military exercise, peace mission military exercise, tank competition, etc., which were dazzling.

After a few days of traveling to this time and space, the time-traveling army had already fought several battles. Fang Bin's heart suddenly became active again, thinking that he could make up for his regrets in this time and space. Therefore, he signed up to join the reserve army, just to go to the battlefield to fight in person, and of course he would not accept the arrangements of the trio.

After listening to Fang Bin's reasons, the trio could understand Fang Bin's mood. In the old time and space, the three of them also had this feeling. As a soldier, they naturally wanted to reflect their own value on the battlefield. However, the three of them were in their prime and were working on the front line. In addition, they caught up with the period of China's strong military construction and the military equipment boom, and there were still great opportunities in the future. Unlike Fang Bin who had already taught in military academy in the old time and space, they only pointed to the country on TV programs at most.

After traveling to this time and space, the three of them were unprecedented in their excitement when commanding the fleet for the first time, so of course the three of them could understand Fang Bin's mood. Therefore, the three of them did not force Fang Bin anymore, but only made two requirements for him. First, if the training cannot keep up with the progress, then do not avoid being strong; second, if the Time Travel Group establishes a military academy in the future, Fang Bin must come to the military academy to train military talents for the Time Travel Group. Of course, Fang Bin did not reject these two requirements.

On the afternoon of the fifth day after the crossingmen occupied Dagukou, the Eight-Nation Alliance troops stationed in Tianjin City divided into two groups and marched along both sides of the coastal river. The Northern Army entered Lizhuangzi, and the Southern Army arrived in Gegu to establish their own defensive positions.

In fact, after the time travelers occupied Dagukou, they did not relax their surveillance of Tianjin City. Almost every move of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Tianjin City was under the control of the Time Travel Group. Moreover, the Time Travelers had already arranged defense lines in Dagukou and formulated tactics for response, so they did not panic at all against the Eight-Nation Alliance's attack.

Of course, the tactics formulated by the Provisional Military Commission were just a big idea, because the enemy had not yet arrived and did not know the tactical arrangement of the enemy at that time, so it was impossible to make a detailed tactical plan. Now that the enemy is here, and the arrangement and distribution of the enemy's troops have been clearly identified by drone reconnaissance, we can naturally make targeted tactical arrangements.

Xiao Jianjun is still responsible for the tactical plan of the whole body. Now the defense line that crosses the army is also divided into two banks of the Haihe River. However, the main defensive positions are located on the south bank of the Haihe River, and a battalion of troops is arranged to guard the troops. The defense line on the north bank is mainly based on the Dagukou for defense. This arrangement is mainly because the troops of the crossing army are limited and it is impossible to take into account both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The Dagukou Wharf, as well as the crossing personnel, are all concentrated on the south bank of the Haihe River, so naturally the focus of the defense should be placed on the south bank of the Haihe River.

The Eight-Nation Alliance against the invading Eight-Nation Alliance marched at the same time on both sides of the Haihe River. Xiao Jianjun did not adopt the tactic of attacking at the same time on both sides, but chose to defeat one by one. The defensive army on the north bank of the Haihe River remained motionless, and concentrated all the main forces on the south bank of the Haihe River. First, defeated the main forces of the enemy on the south bank of the Haihe River, and then waited for the opportunity to eliminate the enemy on the north bank of the Haihe River.

Such tactical arrangements are of course contrary to the principle of the People's Liberation Army's usual practice of fighting weak enemies first and then strong enemies. However, Xiao Jianjun knew that any military strategy and combat principles could not be copied or copied, but should be flexibly applied according to actual conditions. The strategic goal of the time-traveling army is to annihilate the enemy's live forces as much as possible and reduce the difficulty of attacking Tianjin. Therefore, if the enemy on the north bank of the Haihe River first attacks the enemy's north bank, then the main force of the enemy on the south bank of the Haihe River may retreat to Tianjin City to guard. All of these more than 3,500 people retreated to Tianjin City, which will of course increase the difficulty for the time-traveling army to attack Tianjin. On the contrary, if the main force of the enemy on the south bank of the Haihe River is annihilated, even if the enemy on the north bank of the Haihe River flees back to Tianjin City, there will be only 1,500 people. In comparison, it will naturally be much easier to attack Tianjin.

In addition, from the strength of both sides, the crossing army undoubtedly has an absolute advantage, and the enemy's positions are within the range of the main guns of the Kunming ships, Xiangyang ships, and Huaihua ships. In addition, there are more than ten amphibious tanks. Therefore, the crossing army is weak and has no weak weapons, and they are fully prepared to defeat the enemy. The biggest problem with the crossing army is that the number of troops is too small and not enough to fight on both sides. In this case, if you only choose to attack one of the routes, you should naturally target the main force of the enemy.

Moreover, the crossing army also set up a surprise soldier at Lubeikou, which can make different tactical arrangements according to the needs of the battlefield. They have not yet arranged tactical goals for their whole body.

Of course, there is another problem, that is, after the battle begins, the enemy on the north bank of the Haihe River will likely cross the river to reinforce the south bank. Although the crossing army is not too afraid of the enemy's joining the army, this is troublesome and prone to changes. How to prevent the enemy on the north bank of the Haihe River to cross the river to reinforce is also a problem that needs to be faced.

The Haihe River is not a big river. The river surface is not wide and the river water is not deep, which restricts warships from entering the Haihe River. In this era, warships that can enter the Haihe River are basically ships less than 500 tons. Several warships passing through the fleet cannot enter the Haihe River. The enemy has dozens of ships, so it is easy for the enemy on the north bank to cross the river to reinforce the south bank.

In response, Xiao Jianjun decided to arrange two 18 boats and Kunming ships at the entrance of the Haihe River. The 18 boats are lighter and more flexible, with a low draft, and can sail into the Haihe River. The 18 boats' weapon is a double 14.5mm caliber machine gun, which can be used to attack the enemy at close range. The main gun of the Kunming ship can reach 30 kilometers. Even if it is anchored at the entrance of the Haihe River, it can also cover all battlefields. Once the enemy on the north bank crosses the river by boat, the Kunming ship can directly use its main gun to attack the enemy crossing the river.

Such a large combination is enough to cause a heavy blow to the enemy who crossed the river. Xiao Jianjun even hoped that the enemy would cross the river to reinforce, because this would allow the enemy on both sides of the Haihe River to fight together, and then attack Tianjin would be no longer ineffective. Therefore, Xiao Jianjun also decided that once the battle was underway, the enemy on the north bank of the Haihe River crossed the river to reinforce, and immediately ordered the troops lurking in Lubeikou to attack Tianjin immediately and kill two birds with one stone to achieve the combat goal.

There was no objection to the tactical plan formulated by Xiao Jianjun, the Interim Executive Committee, and the Military Committee, but there were some different opinions on another matter. It was to announce whether this battle would be announced, in detail, to those who were released by the time travelers.

At the meeting, someone suggested that this battle would be best to be announced only to the time travelers, and temporarily concealed the released personnel and the captured Eight-Nation Alliance prisoners to avoid causing panic among the released personnel or causing the psychological changes of the prisoners. After all, the current time travel soldiers are insufficient, and the Marines are sent out to fight, so the internal guards will inevitably be empty and it is easy for the backyard to catch fire.

Time travelers have not occupied Dagukou for a long time, and it has only been five days since now. Although the released people are generally in a stable mood and have a positive attitude towards work, I usually check and find out that many of them have insufficient confidence in time travelers, thinking that once the foreigners come back, this group of overseas Chinese may be difficult to resist. In addition, some rumors have also been reported, such as this group of overseas Chinese who cannot beat foreigners and can run a boat to escape, and the unlucky ones are the ones who are the ones who are unlucky.

In fact, these released people have no malicious intentions towards the time travelers, mainly because over the past sixty years, Qingting has never been able to beat the foreigners. Not only can it not beat the Westerners, but even the Easterners bully the Qing court. The psychological disadvantage caused by sixty years is not something that can be reversed by one or two victories. What's more, the time travelers are new to the first time and have not fully gained the trust of these released people. The people who spread rumors are not really talking to the foreigners, but the inertia caused by sixty years begins.

If it weren't for staying in Dagukou for food and drink, and the area was almost entirely foreign, there would be no place to go after leaving Dagukou. Most of the released people had long dispersed. Just yesterday, a few people who left Dagukou a few days ago came back because they had been wandering outside for a few days and found that they could not survive outside, so they had to escape back to Dagukou. At this time, some people who were planning to leave immediately gave up this idea and remained in Dagukou.
