Chapter 90 The Battle of Tianjin (3)

The Type 86 7.6mm coaxial machine gun is an improved model of the Type 80 7.6mm universal machine gun produced in China. The prototype is Kalashnikov, a famous gun designer in the former Soviet Union, designed the millimeter universal machine gun, and the father of AK47, which fully inherits the fine tradition of ak rifle's simple structure, reliable movement, and durability.

The origin of this type of machine gun is quite legendary. It turned out that during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the Chinese team seized the former Soviet Union aid to Vietnam's millimeter universal machine gun on the battlefield, and then imitated it in China. It was designed and finalized in 1980, and then produced and finalized in 198, and officially named the Type 80 7.6 mm universal machine gun. It is also the only general machine gun developed by my country.

The so-called universal machine gun, also known as a light and heavy dual-purpose machine gun, is a machine gun that can be carried by a single person, uses an air-cooled design, and can supply ammunition chains, and can quickly change the barrel. That is, a bipod can be used like a light machine gun, or a medium-caliber machine gun installed on a tripod. It has the advantages of heavy machine guns with long range, high power, and long continuous shooting time. It also has a light machine gun that is easy to carry and flexible to use, and can follow the infantry to implement firepower support during marching. It first appeared in World War II. Since the 1950s, countries have generally replaced the medium-caliber heavy machine gun status with universal machine guns.

Moreover, after the successful imitation of the Type 80 7.6mm universal machine gun, a comprehensive comparison and test were conducted in several major military regions across the country at the same time with the main medium-caliber machine guns, Type 67 and Type 67-1 heavy machine guns equipped by the People's Liberation Army at that time. The conclusion is that the shooting accuracy and lifespan of the Type 80 7.6mm universal machine gun can fully meet the tactical and technical requirements, and is generally better than the Type 67 and Type 67-1 heavy machine guns. Because it is used as a light machine gun, its performance is significantly better than the Type 67 and Type 67-1 heavy machine guns.

However, due to the limitations of the People's Liberation Army's tactical ideas at that time and the special era of military giving way to the economy, the Type 80 7.6mm universal machine gun was not equipped with the entire army, but was used as a foreign trade export product. During the Iran-Iran War, both Iran-Iran purchased a large number of Type 80 7.6mm universal machine guns from China.

At that time, China was developing the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, and selected the Type 80 7.6mm universal machine gun, removed the stock and grip, and installed an electric shock device to be used as a coaxial machine gun of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, and officially named it the Type 86 7.6mm coaxial machine gun. Later, other new tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, etc. in my country were successively equipped.

The Type 86 7.6mm coaxial machine guns installed on the two 18 boats were removed from the warriors. When the driver entered the waters of the Japanese crossing the river, the two boats slowed down. The machine guns on both sides of the left and right opened fire at the same time, launching a slamming strafing at the Japanese army that fell into the water. At the same time, two crew members held Type 95 assault rifles and fired at the Japanese soldiers in the water.

Although Japanese soldiers can do water, it is impossible to dodge bullets in the water. Therefore, at this time, we can only look at the character of the person. However, the distance is so close and the bullets fired by the machine guns are extremely dense. The Japanese soldiers in the river were immediately beaten to scream and killed or injured. After the two 18 boats slowly passed through this area of ​​water, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were floating in the river, and the river water was dyed red by blood, and there were only a few Japanese soldiers who were still living in the water.

After the two 18 boats slowly turned around in the sea, the Kunming ship stopped the Japanese bombardment on the other side of the shore, and the two 18 boats' heads spewed out flames and fired at the Japanese soldiers on the shore. At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the shore had been bombarded by artillery, and were then fired by the machine guns of the 18 boats, and were even killed and injured. The remaining Japanese soldiers dared to stop on the river bank for a long time and fled backwards.

The Japanese officers leading the team saw that most of the wooden boats had been shot and there were two speedboats guarding the sea river. They would definitely not be able to cross the river tonight, so they had to order to retreat to Li Zhuang to guard. However, when the Japanese army had just retreated for hundreds of meters, they heard the guns in front of them, and a dense rain of bullets was coming, and a large row of them fell down.

It turned out that the defenders stationed at the fortress on the north bank of Dagukou received the order from the command center and immediately attacked the Japanese position set up in Li Zhuangzi. At this time, there were only more than 200 Japanese soldiers guarding the position, and they were in the dark. Of course, they did not defend the position, and were defeated by the crossing army, abandoned the position and retreated towards Tianjin.

The crossing army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the battle, but marched towards the riverside. When they happened to meet the Japanese army crossing the river, they retreated, so they naturally caught up and gave them a head-on attack. In fact, there were more than 200 Japanese troops who retreated at this time, and the number was more than twice that of the crossing army. However, the morale of the army was disbanded at this time, and they had no fighting spirit at all. They were killed by the crossing army and fled completely. The crossing army pursued each other separately, killed many Japanese soldiers, and arrested many of them.

In the Japanese positions stationed by Gegu, the Japanese resistance forces were removed one by one by one by the crossing army, and the number of reinforcements was getting smaller and smaller, but the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time. Although Fukushima Anmasato didn't know that they had not been able to wait for the reinforcements to come, they completely lost their patience and could only order the Japanese army to retreat and retreat to Tianjin to garrison.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After receiving the order from the command center, the troops lurking in Lubeikou immediately took action. They had been waiting for a day and a night in Lubeikou, and were a little anxious. But now they finally received the order, and the entire army was immediately energetic. Commander Qiu Yahui immediately ordered the helicopter to take off, the entire army attacked, and together with two warriors, they marched towards Tianjin City.

The walls of Tianjin City were built in 1404 (the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty). They were about 1,600 meters long from east to west and about 1,000 meters long from north to south, and they were like abacus, so they were called "Abacus City". The city was about 11 meters high, and a total of four gates were established, named after Zhendong, Anxi, Dingnan and Gongbei. There were four corner towers at the four corners of the city, and seven ring-circling forts were set up around the city. There were four cross-crossing streets in the city, namely the east, west, south and north. The city was divided into four equal parts, and a bell and drum tower was built at the intersection of the cross streets. In order not to affect traffic, the base of the bell and drum tower was a cross-penetrating structure.

After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the walls of Tianjin were still retained, but at this time, Tianjin flourished in politics, economy, transportation, culture and other aspects, and gradually became a prosperous city in northern my country second only to Beijing. The area of ​​Tianjin City was narrow and could not accommodate so many people. Therefore, it gradually expanded out of the city, forming the old city of Tianjin in the old time and space.

In the old time and space, after the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Tianjin, on November 6, 1900, the Tianjin city wall was demolished for "demolishing the Tianjin city wall based on military purposes and sanitation reasons", and added the clause in the later [Xin Chou Treaty] that the city wall would never be built in Tianjin in the future. A ring road was built on the foundation of the old city wall, that is, the east, south, west and north roads of Tianjin in later generations, thus facilitating the transportation in Tianjin and creating conditions for the development and prosperity of the city.

The concession area in Tianjin was not in Tianjin, but was distributed along the west bank of the coastal river outside Tianjin. Before the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and Germany had their own concession areas in Tianjin. After the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Tianjin, Russia, Italy, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Belgium took the opportunity to occupy territory in Tianjin and establish their own concession areas. The vast concession area, which started from the southeast of Tianjin City in the north, ended at the Qianzihe Line (now Nanjing Road) in the west, reached Sunzhuang in the south, and reached the Jingshan Railway in the east, and occupied a large concession area far exceeding that of Tianjin City.

Of course, the Tianjin Concession will take back the crossing army, but now it is better to capture Tianjin City first, because Tianjin City is protected by city walls, and there are not many people who cross the army. After occupying Tianjin City, they can defend the city. The concession area not only expands its territory, but also has no city wall guards, so it is difficult to defend even if it is captured. It is better to capture Tianjin City first, gain a foothold, and then wait for the main force to arrive before attacking the concession.

Qiu Yahui did his homework in the plan to attack Tianjin. His breakthrough goal was Tianjin Ximen, because Ximen was the farthest from the concession area and had enough space to arrange blocking positions to prevent reinforcements from the concession.

The one who is mainly attacking Tianjin City was Luo Yue, and Qiu Yahui sent his own company to set up positions in the Haiguang Temple area to block the reinforcements, the second and third platoons of the concession to pay the subsequent attack.

After the assignment was made, Luo Yue immediately led all the soldiers of the platoon to launch an attack on Tianjin City. Because it was around 11 o'clock in the evening, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Japanese troops guarding Tianjin had almost been mobilized to attack Dagukou. At this time, there were only more than 200 Japanese soldiers left in the city.

After the Eight-Nation Alliance captured Tianjin, the commanders of various countries reached a compromise after many consultations, that is, the Russian, British and Japanese countries, which sent the most troops at that time, sent an officer as a member of the provisional government, with equal power. The government office of the temporary management of local affairs inside and outside the Jinjun city was formed, and later renamed the Tianjin Regional Provisional Government.

He was responsible for managing the affairs of the coalition forces during the occupation of Tianjin. The three interim government members were: Colonel Waugak, who was once the Army Counselor of the Russian Embassy in China, Colonel Ball, an Englishman who served as an instructor in Weihai, Shandong, and Colonel Aoki Nobusu of the "China Communications" of the Japanese Army. After Fukushima Aoshima led the Japanese army, Aoki Nobusu followed the army to fight, and the guard affairs of Tianjin City were responsible for the other two.
