Chapter 466: No War in North China (12)

Orders have been issued one by one, but what happened next made Ueno Osa feel more and more that things were not good. First of all, his immediate superiors sent someone to tell him that the Marines could not be withdrawn for the time being, and that he had sent an infantry wing to the coast. And the two telegrams sent to the offshore sea were like mud cows into the sea, and there was no news at all.

The commanders of the two warships are both from the Kyoto area, so the relationship between them is still very good, Tianjin City has already reached a pot of porridge, if those two guys are not deaf, then they will definitely not ignore it and stand by.

But the fact that the two warships, which are now docked less than 30 nautical miles off the coast, have not responded at all, and even the telegrams sent have not responded to them, which can only indicate one thing, that is, the two warships have suffered an accident. If those two warships were really attacked, then this time it was really a big deal, which shows that the people of China are not only fighting against them this time, but even have a navy that can match the large warships.

Although the coastal fortifications of Tianjin were relatively strong, Ueno did not think that the reinforced concrete pillboxes could withstand the attack of the ship's artillery. The more I thought about Ueno, the more frightened I felt, so I grabbed the command knife on the desk and shouted, "Guards, go, work on the front line"

"Hail"

At the same time that Ueno Osa rushed towards the battlefield with his personal guard team, Yoshikawa Neiren had already realized that tonight might not just be a tentative attack, but that the Shina army wanted to take Tianjin Castle in one fell swoop. If Ueno Daisa's prediction comes true, then Shina may really secretly send the navy to participate in the war, and this time the front army is really dangerous, and the rear roads of all troops are likely to be cut off, and it is impossible not to use reserves.

YANG Chengwu. Former enemy command post.

"Commander-in-chief, the devils have mobilized reserves, the number is about 7,000 people, do we also use reserves?" Song Shilun, political commissar of the 300th Division, hurriedly came in and said.

Yang Chengwu looked at his watch and said calmly: "Old Song, don't be busy, the little devil has now been forced into a corner by us from both sides, and if you don't send a reserve team, I'm afraid there will be no chance, that old devil in Jichuan is more shrewd than anyone else, it is impossible for him not to know this truth." We were consuming it with him in this way, and Cao Di argued and said: "One blow of strength and then three times and then exhaustion", and when the Japanese army's reserves were almost consumed, our reserves suddenly appeared on the battlefield again, and the effect was obviously much better than sending them now. ”

"Well, the commander-in-chief's consideration is very reasonable, but I'm afraid that the little devil's warship will return suddenly, then the pressure on the first brigade will increase greatly, and even" Song Shilun didn't say the next words.

Although Song Shilun didn't finish his words, Yang Chengwu and Song Shilun are also old comrades-in-arms, and the two of them can be regarded as tacit understanding now, so he understands what Song Shilun means.

"Impossible, Old Song, do you know why our commander was able to jump from a small infantry battalion commander to a general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops in just three years, a well-known anti-Japanese hero throughout the country?" Without waiting for Song Shilun to answer, Yang Chengwu said: "The longer I stay under the commander, the more I feel that the commander is indeed extraordinary, and he may still be very immature politically, but in terms of military command level, it is not an exaggeration to call him a military god." The biggest characteristic of the commander is that it is mysterious and weird, no one knows how many hole cards he has in his hand, the little devil can't do it, and we can't do it. It has been nearly three years since I came to the military region, but before each major war, I will make a comparison between the strength of the military region and the strength of the devils, and then predict whether the whole body can get out of this battle. However, when a major war comes to the most critical moment, the commander can always unexpectedly conjure up a large number of troops that cannot appear, and I still don't know how many troops there are in the military region. So after that, I summed up a lesson, that is, under no circumstances should we expose our full strength to the enemy, then our chances of victory are less than five layers. ”…,

"Lao Yang, you are still lucky, you have been by Comrade Han Yunhua's side for a long time, and there has been great progress in strategic vision and tactical thinking, when I first came, I really didn't adapt to the development model of the military region, the traitor puppet army only carried out ideological education for a period of time and was all incorporated into the combat unit, as long as all the Japanese devils did not surrender, they were all killed, even the seriously wounded, but now I understand, I see that the troops of the military region are full of blood, this is the real army. Maybe it's not a model unit, but it's definitely a super combat unit. ”

"Now that our army has advanced there, how far is it from the city center?"

"The fastest advance is the 2nd Brigade and 2nd Regiment, and now they are about to hit the train station, but they encountered a Japanese unit with particularly strong combat effectiveness, which was driven out of the position directly by others half an hour ago, and has just been recaptured."

"And this matter, isn't the commander of the second brigade and the second regiment the cowherd baby? Isn't that bastard boy very powerful, I often listen to his name when I cross the meadow, why was he driven out of the position by the little devil? Which Japanese army did it, did you inquire clearly? Yang Chengwu asked in surprise.

"I have inquired clearly, it was the Japanese marines who did about 1,000 people, but Wang Daniu did not let the little devil feel better, an ambush ate an entire squadron of the Japanese marines, and also killed the commander of the marines, but he himself was injured."

"The Marine Corps, I have heard that this unit is the elite of the Japanese army, and it is not unjust to be defeated in the hands of this army. Wang Daniu was not seriously injured, if it was serious, let the political commissar of the Second Regiment take over the command of the front and carry Wang Daniu down. ”

"Commander-in-chief, you don't know the temper of that bull, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he won't come down until the end of the battle, even if you order him to come down, if he doesn't often disobey orders on the battlefield, I'm afraid that his current military position will be compared to us, you must know that when you cross the grassland, you are already the deputy brigade commander, and you and I were just a regiment commander at that time."

"Hahaha, Lao Song is still you, a person who does political work, who understands the cadres below, hehe, forget it, Wang Daniu is also an old **, he still understands which is more important. It seems that the first brigade should have no problem taking the port this time, even the marines of the little devils have arrived in the city, if they don't get off the port, he Ma Jiayuan will explain it to the commander himself. ”

"Hehehe, I don't think it's a problem, at this time, the Japanese warships have not moved, it seems that the special combat team has succeeded, I think at most tomorrow morning, Tianjin achievements can be won."

At this time, Song Shilun's guards ran in and said: "Report to the division commander and political commissar, news has come from the coastal direction that the 1st Brigade has completely annihilated the Japanese coastal defense forces, and all the officers and men, including the Japanese Coastal Garrison Commander Ueno Daisa, have not survived. ”

"So fast?" Song Shilun asked in surprise.

"Report to the political commissar, it was the special combat team of the division headquarters who helped the brigade a lot"

"What's going on, did the special forces complete their mission?" Song Shilun asked excitedly.

"Division commander, political commissar, the special combat team not only completed the task, they also snatched a complete warship of the little devil, and also hijacked the little devil's naval soldiers to drive the warship back to the port of Tianjin, it was with the participation of this warship that the Japanese coastal defense forces were defeated, and their No. 2 pillbox group was also destroyed by the warship's large-caliber artillery."

"Okay, it's really a special combat team, it's too common for them to create miracles, commander-in-chief, I think it's time to launch a final attack on the Japanese army in Tianjin City." Song Shilun said with emotion. …,

Yang Chengwu thought for a while and said, "Well, I think the time is ripe, so let's do it, Old Song, it's still the old rules." You stay at the command post, and I'll go to the front. ”

"Lao Yang, I also want to take a look before I go this time, anyway, the little devil can't make any big waves, so the command will follow the troops forward."

"Hahaha, then so be it, go, go to the front"

At 8:10 a.m. the next day, with the rapid advance of the 300th Division, the last remaining Japanese troops in Tianjin City were surrounded in a small area of less than three square kilometers from the city hall to the railway station, and the rest of the entire Tianjin City had been occupied by the 300th Division, including the harbor wharf.

The explosives that Ueno had placed in the harbor warehouse did not work, and the Japanese infantry squad stationed in the warehouse wisely chose to surrender after seeing the mountains and seas of Chinese troops, and did not immediately detonate the bombs as Ueno Osa had explained.

Yoshikawa was a pure nationalist, although he knew that there was no chance of a comeback if he continued to fight, and even if reinforcements could arrive now, it would not help. However, he did not intend to surrender to the Chinese army in this way, and after sending a farewell telegram to the headquarters of the North China Front, he gave a final order to all the troops, and in five minutes they were to launch an all-out attack on the Chinese army in front of them.

In fact, when the order of the Yoshikawa Neiren was issued, the surviving Japanese commander turned pale at that time, what kind of attack order is this, this is completely a reminder, now the offensive momentum of the Chinese army is fierce, just with their remnants of less than 10,000 soldiers, how much can they make waves. They said it a million times to let them launch a counter-charge against the Chinese army, and they said it a million times to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but when it came time for them to pay with their lives for the Emperor, almost all the Japanese commanders hesitated.

But Yoshikawa had long expected the reaction of these commanders, so he saw that few of these commanders took the initiative to ask for battle, so he rudely handed over all the commanders' guns, and also ordered his own guards to take all these officers into custody, and sent his own guards to take over all the command.

However, at the last moment, one of the Japanese army majors still thought that they could not just sit idly by, so they decided to unite all the Japanese officers and Yoshikawa to seize the command of the troops. However, sitting in the Japanese army in this way is undoubtedly tantamount to a rebellion, so it is natural that the Japanese puppet army in Tianjin City has infighting.

Yang Chengwu on the front line was not a patient person, and when he received the news of infighting within the Japanese army, he immediately ordered all officers and men of the 300th Division who could speak Japanese to shout to the Japanese army, as long as they were willing to surrender, the 300th Division would ensure their safety and never kill prisoners of war at will. However, if they are stubborn, the Inner Mongolia Military Region, whether it is the 300th Division or any army, will completely turn them into dust, and the 300th Division will limit all the Japanese puppet troops in Tianjin City to surrender within half an hour, otherwise it will become obsolete.

Maybe the meaning of this outdated Japanese army is not clear, but the puppet army surrounded by the encirclement is much clearer, and the meaning of the reorganization of the 300th Division is not as simple as launching a final attack on the Japanese army after this half an hour. The Chinese army meant that as long as the half hour passed, it would no longer accept prisoners, and even if the Japanese army wanted to surrender to the Chinese army, it would not accept it.

Perhaps other troops can't do anything to kill prisoners, but the killing of prisoners by the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is not a new thing, and many intelligence agencies of the Japanese army have confirmed that the Inner Mongolia Military Region will conduct a large-scale search of the battlefield after every major battle, and as long as they are seriously injured or given an order, they will not hesitate to execute those Japanese prisoners on the spot. Therefore, at this time, the words spoken by the 300th Division were still very deterrent, and they were by no means simply intimidating. …,

At this time, the fighting spirit of the Japanese puppet army in Tianjin City can be said to have dropped to the freezing point, when several officers of the Japanese army told the encircled Japanese army in detail about the orders of the Yoshikawa people, those Japanese soldiers who showed off their might on weekdays were stunned. After that, a huge internal strife broke out, and the vast majority of the soldiers demanded that the Yoshikawa people immediately send personnel to negotiate with the Chinese army outside, and ensure the safety of the lives of the vast majority of the soldiers.

Lieutenant General Yoshikawa did not expect that his order would be resisted by the soldiers at this time, and seeing the huge demonstration, Yoshikawa believed that if his guards were not still there, those cowardly and fearful of death would probably have arrested him directly and sent him to the hateful Shina people in order to save their lives.

At this time, Yoshikawa finally gave up, and he was really finished. Although he, a standard nationalist, was not willing to fail like this, and surrendered to the Chinese in humiliation. But now that the general trend has passed, and he is no longer able to return to heaven by himself, after thinking about it for a while, Yoshikawa finally decided to negotiate with the Chinese army.

The next thing was much simpler, and the results of the negotiations between the two sides soon came out, and the Japanese puppet army established in Tianjin was ordered by Yoshikawa to immediately lay down their arms and walk out of the trench positions and surrender to the Chinese army in front. The reorganized 300th Division guarantees the safety of their lives with the honor of the army, absolutely abides by the regulations on the management of prisoners of war, does not arbitrarily persecute and mutilate these prisoners, and the officers must also give certain preferential treatment.

As far as Yang Chengwu is concerned, what he has to do now is to take Tianjin City as soon as possible, and he doesn't care what these prisoners will face after they are captured, these things are all arranged by the military region headquarters. Besides, what kind of treatment did the Japanese army talk about at this time, which was simply stupid in Yang Chengwu's opinion.

Moreover, Yang Chengwu is very clear about Han Yunhua's policy towards Japanese prisoners of war, that is, to squeeze out the last bit of residual value of these Japanese prisoners of war, and Baotou Arsenal will exhaust many Japanese prisoners of war every day, although these things have been secretly erased, but as a few important leaders of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, Yang Chengwu himself still has the right to know some insiders.

He is not afraid that when the time comes, the people of Yoshikawa will find him to settle the account, not to mention how big a wave he can afford as a prisoner, just say that a senior officer like him is afraid that he will be sent to Yan'an for centralized custody as soon as he returns to Sui, anyway, there are many Japanese generals in Yan'an now, although there are few lieutenant generals, but there are still a lot of major generals, and at least 5 Japanese major generals and a lieutenant general have become Han Yunhua's trophies, plus the two generals this time, I am afraid that the prisoner of war management camp in Yan'an will become the exclusive prisoner of war management agency of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. At that time, how could the people of Yoshikawa have the opportunity to know how their subordinates are doing, so the so-called negotiation agreement is actually a dead letter, and he didn't take it to heart anyway.

At 11 o'clock in the morning of January 1, 1941, more than 10,000 puppet troops surrounded in the center of Tianjin City took the initiative to go out of their positions and surrender to the integrated 300th Division, and Tianjin City was successfully broken by the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

And just five hours before the capture of Tianjin City, the independent 77th Division also conquered Tangshan, the last Japanese fortress in eastern Hebei, and the second brigade of the Japanese Chinese garrison infantry stationed in Tangshan was all killed, unlike Yang Chengwu, in the end, about 1,000 Japanese puppet troops offered to surrender, but Master Chen directly refused, and then concentrated all the artillery to turn the last Japanese position into a sea of fire.

After the two cities of Tianjin and Tangshan were breached, Tada Jun in Beiping was greatly shaken, and the commanders of these two important military towns swore two days ago that there would be no problem at all in defending for half a month, but now all of them have become a thing of the past. What the hell is going on, how can the fighting power of the Chinese army become so strong in just a few years, even the most elite troops of the imperial army are no longer their opponents, is it the national strength of the empire that has declined or the national strength of the Chinese has risen, and is there any need for this holy war to continue.

These questions appeared in Tadajun's mind for the first time, but they only stayed for a short period of time before Tada Jun deliberately drove them out of his brain. In addition to a telegram asking for guilt, Tada Jun also submitted a farewell letter, expressing his willingness to live and ......die with Beiping City to the base camp and the emperor.
