Chapter 63: A domineering reply

However, the Japanese army must also ensure that it will not launch any combat operations on the Tianjin battlefield during the implementation of the agreement. Moreover, it is necessary to ensure that before the evacuation of Beiping, there shall be no looting and no destruction of any buildings. All political prisoners and detained foreign nationals, as well as all puppet military and political personnel, were handed over to the Anti-Japanese Federation.

All retreating Japanese troops could only carry portable light weapons. All heavy weapons and transport vehicles are not to be destroyed or blown up, and all are to be handed over to the Anti-Japanese Union and the 18th Group Army. The Anti-Japanese Union and the 18th Group Army agreed to provide some food to the remnants of the 110th Division, which was already half starved to death, in order to restore their strength and evacuate.

Lieutenant General Oshiro Sanji did not bargain too much about the demands of the Anti-Japanese Federation. After only a short hesitation, I finally chose to agree. However, on the condition that Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji hand over some of the ammunition and all the cars and equipment stored in Beiping by the North China Front, he was exchanged for General Okamura Ninji to leave Beiping first on three transport planes currently parked in the Temple of Heaven area.

Regarding Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji's request, after assuring that even after Okamura Ninji left, the Japanese troops inside and outside the castle would not fall into chaos, and they could still guarantee that the agreement would be fulfilled without any deduction, the boss also agreed to his request. The boss also agreed to hand over all the Japanese expatriates captured on the battlefield in Beiping.

It was also agreed that the Japanese army would send military police to enter the anti-United Nations-controlled areas in the city without carrying weapons, and concentrate the expatriates there. The anti-coalition troops who had already entered the city protected the Japanese military police. However, the Japanese army wanted to disarm all the puppet troops who withdrew into the imperial city at the same time as the Japanese army and handed them over to the anti-Japanese alliance.

But the boss also proposed that the Japanese army was preparing to evacuate. In order to avoid a vacuum in Beiping City and cause chaos, the Anti-Japanese Federation should increase the number of troops entering the city to ensure control over the rest of the urban areas except the Imperial City. Before the Japanese army withdrew, it was not allowed to take any items from the imperial city, especially the cultural relics in the palace.

The change in the situation of the war was the capital, and the North China Front, which had lost almost all the capital in the Beiping battlefield, basically lost the right to bargain. In order to be able to preemptively retreat before China repents, hundreds of officers of all sizes in Beiping City, as well as tens of thousands of expatriates, were evacuated.

The efficiency of this negotiation can be described as unprecedentedly high. In less than two hours, all the agreements were reached. When the steel knife is actually put on the neck, the Japanese are not really dead ducks. When it's time to bow their heads, they bow their heads in the same way. Especially if they are really hurt, they will also pretend to be grandchildren.

When the agreement was signed, both the boss and Yang Zhen were truly relieved. The Japanese bowed their heads at the last moment and chose to withdraw peacefully from Beiping, so that this thousand-year-old capital could avoid the calamity of large-scale war and looting, and almost completely return to the hands of the Chinese.

This undoubtedly removed a big stone from the boss who was in charge of the entire North China battlefield command and whose heart had been hanging since the Battle of Beiping began. And Yang Zhen, who insisted on fighting around Beiping before, and was actually the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, also unloaded the biggest burden in his heart.

Although he was very unwilling to let go of the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front and the remnants of the two divisions. But Beiping City can be said to be completely back in the hands of the Chinese, which also makes Yang Zhen's heart undoubtedly much more relaxed. After all, if Beiping City is really destroyed, and those ancient buildings that condense the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years are destroyed, he will really become a historical sinner.

The Japanese army finally chose to compromise, in addition to the central government and the boss, Yang Zhen was like moving away a big stone that had always been pressed in his heart, and the different sense of depression in his heart was finally removed. Although the ultimate strategic goal was not achieved, after all, Beiping City, the thousand-year-old capital, was completely returned to the hands of the Chinese nation.

It should be said that the efficiency of the Japanese army's fulfillment of the agreement is still quite high. Within six hours of the agreement, the concentration of the entire diaspora had been completed. Under the surveillance of the guns of the tank troops entering the city, they began to assemble and pedal at Zhengyangmen Station one after another, preparing to evacuate.

In fact, they didn't need to assemble much, most of the Japanese expatriates in Beiping City were retreating to the Imperial City when the Japanese army retreated. Those who had already dragged their families with their families withdrew with the Japanese army into the imperial city and the only remaining control areas. On the whole, the number of Japanese expatriates remaining in the areas controlled by the Anti-Japanese Union is not large.

However, the Anti-Japanese Federation captured a lot of Japanese expatriates in Shunyi, Huairou, Wanping, and several counties in the suburbs of Beiping. It was useless to keep them, and the Japanese expatriates who had to waste their precious food to maintain them and their dependents were handed over to the Japanese army at Zhengyangmen Station. The Japanese also handed over all the Western expatriates and missionaries who had been detained during the Pearl Harbor attack, as well as Western professors at various universities.

In the Pingxi and Pingdong Battlefields, the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union and the 18th Group Army also gave way one after another, allowing the 110th Division and the 59th Division to carry light weapons and begin to retreat to the predetermined location. The Anti-Japanese Federation also opened Fengtai Station and mobilized some trains from Changxindian to transport the retreating Japanese troops and expatriates.

During the concentration and retreat of Japanese troops, the two sides basically fulfilled their agreements. Compared with the intensification of the war in Jizhong, the entire Pingjin front was unusually silent during this period of time. The retreating Japanese troops and expatriates were silent and pedaled at Zhengyangmen Station to evacuate. The Anti-Japanese Federation also stopped the angry people in Beiping and used stones and rotten eggs to send them off.

As part of the agreement, before the evacuation of Japanese troops and expatriates from the city. The Anti-Japanese Federation let go of the blockade line of Zhengyangmen, and let General Okamura Ninji, as well as a dozen restless combat staff officers, personal adjutants, and guards, and other people, arrive at the Temple of Heaven in a mechanized infantry company of the Anti-Japanese Union not so much as an escort. Board the plane at the Temple of Heaven Airport and evacuate Beiping by air.

Looking at the anti-union open road in front of the car, full of loaded guns and live ammunition, the muzzle pointed at the M-3 half-track armored vehicles on both sides of the convoy, and the dense muzzles along the way, the muzzles of the anti-United Nations tanks in the outer city of Beiping outside Zhengyang Gate, Okamura Ningji was silent along the way, and his heart could be described as mixed.

After the completion of the negotiations, he once proposed through Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji, chief of staff of the front army, who presided over the negotiations, that he hoped that he would be able to meet Yang Zhen as an old rival at the time of parting. However, Yang Zhen did not refuse Okamura Ningji's request, but he did not agree to meet with him.

Just faintly passed the negotiation of the deputy director of the political department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, told Lieutenant General Osedo Sanji. He'll meet with Okamura Ninji, but not now. It was when the entire Japanese army surrendered unconditionally and Okamura Ninji personally handed over the saber to him, he would meet with Okamura Ninji.

Yang Zhen's tone was very loud, but no one doubted the young general's words. Even the chief of staff of the North China Front, who presided over the negotiations, and Lieutenant General Sanji Ojoto, who had been silent since the completion of the talks, did not express any doubts.

However, compared to the other officers who were arranged to evacuate in the first batch, as well as Okamura Ninji, who was the first to evacuate. Lieutenant General Miharu Oshirodo, who was the chief of staff of the Front Army, did not evacuate the first batch. Instead, he adhered to his duties as chief of staff of the front army, and only after all the expatriates and troops were evacuated did he get on the bus in the final stage.

After taking the last special train at Fengtai Station, and converging with the remnants of the 110th Division, which only needed one train and was able to hold all the soldiers and equipment, he evacuated Beiping, which had become the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion of China for six years.

Just when Lieutenant General Sanji Osejo took the most important train to meet the remnants of the 110th Division at Fengtai Station. It doesn't matter if it's a show of force, or it's a deterrent. At the same time, the anti-Japanese air forces stationed in southern Chanan, Renan, and western Hebei Province flew over the Fengtai Railway Station in a neat formation from north to south, and "escorted" the Japanese special train all the way to Tianjin.

Looking at the dense anti-United Nations planes in the sky, and looking at the large number of tanks in the Japanese military column always pointed at the turret at the station, the gun body had been flattened, and the artillery of various calibers of the train he was riding on, Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji let out a long sigh, and his face was solemn without saying a word.

And at the last moment, he escaped, and with the remnants of the defeated general, he was just escorted from Mentougou to Fengtai, and at this moment he was sitting opposite him in embarrassment, gobbling up dry food, the commander of the 110th Division and the second lieutenant general of Yingzhi. looked at the dense planes in the sky, but his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

When all the Japanese troops were evacuated by car at Zhengyangmen Station, the city of Beiping, which had been freed from the nightmare of the Japanese army for six years of cruel rule since the July 7 Incident, resounded with the sound of earth-shattering firecrackers and fell into a sea of joy. The firecrackers in the entire city of Beiping have been sold to the point of being out of stock.

The streets and alleys were full of joy, and the eggs and pastries in their hands were desperately stuffed into the cadres and fighters of the anti-union forces who entered the city as if they didn't want money. and busy merchants, steaming steamed buns, boiling dumplings, cooking meat, moving wine, desperately dragging people into their stores, and wanting to comfort the army for free.

Some restaurants even set up more than a dozen tables of flowing water seats in front of their own stores. The troops who entered the city did not go to eat, so all the members of these restaurants went out to pull and drag, putting on a posture that if the troops did not go, they would not let go. The troops, who had been ordered to enter the city to seize the various points, were surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd that was almost unable to move an inch.

Although the troops who entered the city of the Anti-Japanese Federation, in accordance with strict discipline, were not allowed to accept anything, almost no one stopped them, and these ordinary people, who had been struggling for six years under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, welcomed the enthusiasm of their troops. The scene at that time is still vividly remembered decades later.

Of course, there are some discordant elements in this, and it is not just the enthusiastic people who welcome the army into the city. Thinking that the troops who entered the city of the Anti-Japanese Federation were the same as the ** army they had received before, the prostitutes of the Eight Hutongs shouted the slogan of serving the army for free, and all of them came to solicit customers.

These people and the forces behind them, no matter what their intentions, are genuinely welcoming the People's Liberation Army or trying to earn gimmicks. Or try to fish in troubled waters, what kind of benefits to reap. Although no one dares to break discipline and enjoy their enthusiasm. However, it did bring some troubles and troubles to the troops who entered the city of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

At present, all the brothels in the anti-Japanese base areas in the northeast have been closed down. After all the prostitutes undergo medical examinations and treatment of their diseases, they are assigned jobs by the Social Department of the Northeast Bureau. The people from the Social Department of the North China Bureau were better, but the soldiers from the old liberated areas in Northeast China were at a loss in the face of these warblers and Yanyan.

Even some division and regimental cadres were stuck in jeeps and couldn't get out. Several cadres with troops who were disturbed by these warblers and Yanyan were unable to fight, scold, or leave no matter what they said. In order to drive these people away, he even shot into the sky to frighten these people.
