Just when Luo Yue led his troops to attack the bell tower, the attacks of the other two units were also very smooth, because there were not many Japanese soldiers guarding the city gates, and they were not superior in terms of military strength. Moreover, the crossing army attacked from the city walls and the advantage of the defenders was lost. In addition, it was a night war, and the time and time were not good for the defenders. There was no population. It was difficult to lose this battle. Therefore, the defenders of the north and south gates were quickly beaten by the crossing army and most of them were killed and injured, and they fled one after another, and the city towers of the north and south gates were naturally occupied by the crossing army.

The battle of the surprise attack on Tianjin City went very smoothly. It had captured three of the four gates of Tianjin City in a row. Commander Qiu Yahui was also very happy. However, there was still the East Gate, but at this time all the troops were sent out. Qiu Yahui was only two machine gun squads left by his side, and the company was in no way possible.

Fortunately, the two gates in the north and south and the bell and drum tower have been taken down, so all three parties can be drawn to attack the east gate. Qiu Yahui is also considering which army should be sent. From Qiu Yahui's heart, of course, he wanted to send Luo Yue's platoon to attack the east gate. The one that came was a veritable sharp knife platoon, with the strongest combat power. Moreover, the bell and drum tower is located in the center of Tianjin City. Now the three gates in the north and north are all in the hands of the army, and only the army of the bell and drum tower can be mobilized. But you can't leave a soldier and a guard in the bell and drum tower without leaving a soldier. So should you draw a machine gun squad from Luo Yue's troops and stay at the bell and drum tower, or do some troops from the other two gates to guard the bell and drum tower?

But at this moment, Qiu Yahui received a communication from the first platoon of our company stationed outside the city. They were encountering reinforcements sent by the Tianjin Concession and were fighting with all their might. However, the number of reinforcements was too large, which put a lot of pressure on the troops, so he hoped to send an additional platoon of troops.

It turned out that the gunshots and explosions in Tianjin had already sounded, and the sounds had been heard to the Japanese and French concessions close to Tianjin. People in the concessions did not dare to be careless, because when the Boxer Rebellion was in full swing, it had launched a large-scale attack on the Tianjin concession. In Zizhulin, Laolongtou and other places, it fought a very fierce battle with the Eight-Nation Alliance, and was about to attack the Tianjin concession. This also caused great panic for the foreigners in the concession. It has only been less than two months since then, and the foreigners in the concession are still scared. The temporary fortifications guarding the concession have not been demolished yet. Therefore, when they heard the gunshots, they suddenly became nervous and thought that the Boxer Rebellion was coming again.

The consuls of various countries in the concession did not dare to be careless and quickly recruited troops to guard the concession to prepare for battle. At this moment, the rescue Japanese soldiers rushed to the concession and attacked Tianjin City. The Ximen was already under attack. Now the enemy was attacking the Bell and Drum Tower, the South Gate and the North Gate. Please rescue the Concession to send troops to reinforce. Of course, when they left Tianjin City, they did not know that the Bell and Drum Tower had fallen, nor did they figure out who the enemy was and how many troops they had.

Of course, the consuls of various countries did not understand what was going on. They still believed that the Boxers had come back and immediately started urgent consultations and unanimously agreed to reinforce Tianjin City. Because once the enemy occupied Tianjin City, they would definitely attack the concession again, so it would be better to block the enemy in Tianjin City, so that the concession could be safe.

The total number of guard soldiers in the concessions of various countries was about 800. Moreover, when the Boxers attacked the Tianjin Concession, young and middle-aged men from the expatriates of various countries living in the concessions, even women participated in the war, and they even gathered six or seven hundred people, so the number of people guarding the concessions was quite good. So the consuls of various countries discussed and decided to send 400 troops to support Tianjin City, and the commander led the team was Colonel Ball, the British among the three temporary government members of the provisional government of the Tianjin Region.

It turned out that these days, Colonel Ball knew a beautiful French lady named Josephine in the concession. Her husband was a businessman. She unfortunately died in the battle two months ago, leaving behind a chaotic company. Colonel Ball had a friendship with Mr. Josephine, so she helped Mrs. Josephine successfully stabilize the company and obtained the legal person status of the company. Mrs. Josephine was naturally very grateful to Colonel Ball. In addition, after losing her husband, the two fell in love over time and finally became out of control.

Later, Colonel Ball was appointed as a member of the provisional government of the Tianjin area and moved into Tianjin. However, he had to go to the concession to have a tryst with Mrs. Josephine every few days. Of course, Colonel Ball also used his power to help Mrs. Josephine to start two big businesses. Mrs. Josephine was naturally even more grateful. Not only did he give Colonel Ball a considerable commission, but he was also more enthusiastic and unrestrained when the two met, which also allowed Colonel Ball to fully experience the romantic feelings of French women.

Tonight, Colonel Ball came to the concession to have a tryst with Mrs. Josephine, so she was not in Tianjin. Now the concession decided to send troops to reinforce Tianjin City, Colonel Ball was naturally the unscrupulous candidate for commander.

Of course, Colonel Ball did not refuse. He was a member of the provisional government of the Tianjin Provisional Government. He was also reluctant to be guilty of Tianjin City's mistakes. When sending troops, Colonel Ball decided to march from the south gate. Because he heard about the rescue soldiers, the Ximen of Tianjin City had been broken through by the enemy. Now the enemy is attacking the bell and drum tower and the north and south gates at the same time.

Colonel Ball believed that there was nothing wrong with the East Gate at the moment, and the closest to the concession was the South Gate. Therefore, we should march through the South Gate. If the enemy has not yet broken through the South Gate, we can launch an attack from the enemy and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If the enemy has broken through the South Gate, we will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the Bell and Drum Tower. We will not leave too many people to guard the South Gate. We can retake the South Gate and then reinforce the Bell and Drum Tower, which can reverse the battle situation in Tianjin.

But the situation was beyond Colonel Ball's expectations. When reinforcements walked to the near Haiguang Temple, they were attacked and more than 20 people were killed. Colonel Ball hurriedly commanded the army to fight. After the initial panic, the reinforcements gradually stabilized and the war entered a stalemate.

However, the crossing army that blocked only one platoon had a platoon, and the number of people was too small, so it was very difficult to fight. Although it could not be forced to defend the position, the ammunition consumed a lot, so I rescued Qiu Yahui.

After receiving the news of asking for help, Qiu Yahui couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, because there was still an East Gate in Tianjin City, and there was no available army at hand. The only ones that could be deployed were two warrior cars and a Z9 helicopter. These two weapons could not be used until Guanjian time. Since they were Z9, they were almost equivalent to strategic weapons and could not be used easily. But in the current situation on the battlefield, these two weapons must be used.

Just as Qiu Yahui was about to give an order, another sound came from his headphones. It turned out that the reserve troops sent by the command were coming in three Z8F helicopters, asking Qiu Yahui to provide ground guidance so that the helicopter could land, and the sound of the propeller spinning sounds sounded in the sky.

Qiu Yahui couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was really time for this group of reserve troops to come, and the problem of insufficient troops was solved. So Qiu Yahui immediately sent several soldiers to guide the helicopters to land in the open space outside the city.

Three helicopters landed steadily outside the city. Before the helicopter could stop, the tailgate opened. A figure with a rich figure ran down from the first helicopter and came to Qiu Yahui and saluted: "Fighting Reserve Team Fang Bin, on the order of the command center, came to report and asked Company Commander Qiu to instruct."

He had just finished, and one of the other two helicopters came over to salute Qiu Yahui. It turned out that these two were Li Juntao, the squad leader of the gun and electric squad on the Yueyang ship, and Wang Banglin.

In fact, the ranks of these three people were higher than Qiu Yahui. Originally, Qiu Yahui should have saluted them first, but Fang Bin had a title but no position. Li Juntao and Wang Banglin were all officers of the navy. On this battlefield, they were just the captains of the reserve force, and the highest commander was Qiu Yahui, so they took the initiative to salute Qiu Yahui. At this time, the soldiers on the three helicopters had all got off the plane and lined up the team, with a total of 120 people. Although they were not combat troops, they were still very quick.

At this time, Qiu Yahui had no time to be polite to them. He immediately ordered Li Juntao to lead forty soldiers to guard the west gate of Tianjin, to transfer a machine gun squad to guard the bell and drum tower, and to order Luo Yue to continue to attack the east gate of Tianjin. He personally led the company and eighty other soldiers, plus two warrior cars to reinforce the blocking troops, and Zhi9 was still monitoring the entire battlefield in the air.

After the order was issued, Qiu Yahui immediately led the troops to set off, and the two warriors drove out of the city gate and led the way in front of the team. The soldiers all ran forward, followed the two warriors, and rushed along the walls of Tianjin City, towards the direction of Haiguang Temple.

About ten minutes later, the troops moved to the south of Tianjin City. No one, including the reserve troops, was left behind. At this time, dense gunfire could be heard from a distance, obviously the blocking troops were fighting fiercely with reinforcements from the Eight-Nation Alliance. The helicopters monitoring the battle situation in the air told Qiu Yahui that they were about 1,500 meters away from the battlefield.
