Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Chapter 191: The Destruction of the North China Expeditionary Force 7

"Yes! We are the National Army! We are the troops of the 78th Army Group! Boy, it's liberated! Tianjin is liberated! We are back!" a soldier replied.

Hearing these words, the crowd around began to boil.

Cheers, applause and laughter mixed together, and people hugged each other excitedly to celebrate this moment of victory.

"Great! We finally got you! Thank you for coming!" an old man said with tears in his eyes.

"Yes! We can finally live a peaceful life!" another person shouted excitedly.

The soldiers interacted with the people with a smile, and they felt the people's enthusiasm and support for them.

At this moment, they understood that their efforts had paid off and that they had brought peace and hope to the country and the people.

As the army advanced, more and more people gathered on both sides of the street, holding ribbons and flowers that they had brought back from somewhere, to express their respect and gratitude to the soldiers.

This scene reminds people of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It was the same at that time. People cheered and welcomed the return of the victors.

At this historic moment, Tianjin became a sea of ​​joy, with people celebrating the victory and looking forward to a better future.

The soldiers of the 78th Group Army will continue to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the motherland, maintaining peace, and creating a better tomorrow for the people.

In fact, the process of entering the city was not as smooth as imagined. The Japanese army retreated in a hurry and did not take all the soldiers away.

Especially in the Japanese expatriate area, there were still a large number of Japanese expatriates who had not had time to board the ship when the 2nd Armored Division entered the city.

The rebellious puppet troops were attacking the Japanese expatriate community because the remaining Japanese troops and expatriates inside refused to lay down their arms and surrender.

However, the puppet army has always been the target of the Japanese army's defense, so their equipment is far inferior to that of the Japanese army.

So for a while, nearly 1.5 puppet soldiers were unable to take over the overseas Chinese area which was defended by less than 2000 people.

It was not until the tanks of the Second Armored Division appeared at the gate of the overseas Chinese settlement that the Japanese troops inside felt that doomsday was approaching.

Together with the overseas Chinese, they were unwilling to surrender to the Chinese. They ignored the cries of women, children and set the entire overseas Chinese area on fire.

These remaining Japanese troops and the Japanese expatriates under their control all died in the fire.

"The latest report from the Central News Agency! The latest report from the Central News Agency! Our heroic 78th Army of the National Army recaptured Tianjin in the early hours of this evening!"

"The decisive battle in North China, which lasted for more than three months, has entered a fruitful harvest period! The main force of the Japanese army has been almost completely wiped out in the interior!"

"Beijing is the only isolated city left in North China, and it has been stolen by Japan. Now Okamura Neiji is in a state of panic all day long!"

"Now let me interrupt with a message: Shancheng has issued an order that all major cities across the country must hold grand celebrations in the next three days to celebrate this great victory!"

"In addition, we would like to express our special thanks to those soldiers who fought hard for their country and nation! They defended the dignity and territorial integrity of their country with their lives and blood. Let us pay tribute to these heroes!"

"Finally, we call on the people of the whole country to unite as one and work together to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"

When the content broadcast on the radio spread across the country in a short period of time, the whole of China fell into madness again.

Win! Win! Really win!

The news of this victory was like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze that had shrouded the hearts of the Chinese people for many years.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were wiped out in a single battle, while millions of nationalist troops marched across North China, demonstrating their strong strength and courage.

The once arrogant Japanese could only retreat hastily back to outside Shanhaiguan.

This victory completely changed the situation on the Chinese battlefield and allowed the world to see the powerful strength of the Chinese army. This victory not only meant a military victory, but also represented the rise of the national spirit.

The Chinese people demonstrated their indomitable will and fighting spirit in this war.

However, this victory was not smooth sailing. Before that, the National Army had gone through a difficult period.

In particular, the great defeat in Central Plains Province some time ago dealt a heavy blow to people, and many people began to feel confused and uneasy about the future, but it was this predicament that inspired the fighting spirit and determination of the Chinese people.

Fortunately, the great defeat in the First War Zone did not affect the advance of the powerful 78th Army.

They stood up at the most difficult moment and resolutely launched the most powerful attack on the northern front. In the next three months, people across the country watched the development of the war with anxiety, with both worry and expectation.

They expected that this army, which had never been defeated and was invincible since its establishment, would be able to reverse China's long-standing decline in this ancient and sacred land of North China.

News kept coming from the front line: the Second Armored Division successfully entered the vast grassland as if it were an empty land, and recovered a large amount of lost land. This exciting news made the people cheer.

However, when the people of the whole country learned that the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs had issued a series of diplomatic statements containing threats and intimidation, they were once again shrouded in fear.

They were not worried that the territory they had just regained would be lost again, but they were worried about whether the invincible army they had built with great difficulty could withstand the powerful steel torrent of the Soviet Union.

In the end, they were wrong! The Soviets were just talking big. When hundreds of tanks from two armored divisions appeared on the grassland, the Soviets immediately shut up.

When the Japanese army raided Datong and news of the Datong crisis came, the people, who had just put their minds at ease, became worried again.

What followed was a magnificent decisive battle. First, two Japanese infantry divisions that launched a surprise attack on Datong were wiped out under the city of Datong.

Then the 78th Army launched another blitzkrieg on the southern front, with nearly a thousand tanks and armored vehicles driving on this ancient land.

When aerial photos of the armored cluster attack appeared on the front page of the newspaper, people all over China rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

They couldn't believe that what they saw was real, and they advanced unstoppably all the way and directly attacked Langfang.

In the subsequent decisive battle on the northern front, the 1st Armored Division completely defeated the Japanese army's last counterattack force, and an entire Japanese tank division fell under the tracks and guns of the 1st Armored Division.

Defeat! Great defeat! Hundreds of thousands of North China Expeditionary Forces collapsed overnight! The Chinese army chased and slaughtered them, and finally only tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were left to hide in the city of Beiping.

Just today, the Japanese troops in Tianjin abandoned their commander-in-chief Okamura at the last moment, and chose to leave their tails between their legs and be "sent off" by the Chinese Air Force fighter planes. They were reluctant to leave the land of China and voluntarily chose to leave their bodies to be turned into manure fertilizer.

Now that Tianjin has been captured, there is only one isolated city left, Beiping, and the Japanese will not be able to hold out for much longer.

Finally, the news of victory came, and the whole country was boiling. People cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory. At this moment, every Chinese felt proud and proud.
