The first thing the boss did after entering the city was to criticize the reception staff of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Ministry of Social Affairs. There are so many military camps inside and outside Beiping, why not arrange for the troops entering the city to be stationed first? Just let the brother troops be stationed first.
During these three-nine days, sleeping on the streets? Did everyone go to take over the Japanese and puppet agencies and warehouses?
There are also mountains of weapons, ammunition, winter clothing, and other materials seized in various warehouses of the Japanese army in Peiping City. What are they busy transporting out at this time? Are they worried that the Japanese army will not be able to defend Peiping City when they counterattack, or are they worried?
What other things? Such lack of confidence in one's own troops not only puts the cart before the horse, but also affects the stability of the people's hearts.
What will the people think when you transport so much supplies? Do you think Peking will eventually give up? Otherwise, why are you so busy transporting supplies? Such a hasty transfer of supplies will first cause a lot of damage
The bad influence will affect the prestige among the people and even cause chaos in the people's hearts.
Even for air defense needs, the brotherly forces have now deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns not only at several key points around Peiping and on the city walls. In cooperation with the mobilized aviation forces, a tight air defense network has been built over Peiping. They will be transported out later.
, it won’t cause any serious consequences. Do you still need to be so urgent?
The focus of the reception work is that the staff of the Northeast Bureau have already introduced their experiences to you before entering the city. Why do you still act like you are fighting guerrillas, rushing for supplies and ammunition as soon as you enter the city? Why not?
First consider whether the brother troops who have entered the city to cooperate with your operations have enough food to eat, and will they suffer from the cold in this winter?
There is no horizontal connection between the fraternal forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the underground party in Peiping. They are still quite unfamiliar with the situation in Peiping City. As soon as they entered the city, their eyes were black. Even if you indicate the recipient
Location, but where do you want people to find the place?
Regarding the boss's criticism, the social director of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei branch who led the team also felt aggrieved. Such a large city, Beiping, has been the core of the Japanese army in North China since the July 7th Incident, and has always been the center of the puppet regime in North China.
Large and small traitors, warehouses, and Japanese and puppet institutions are almost all over Peiping.
Due to time constraints, the preparation for this reception was a little too hasty, so we had to focus on important goals first. The central government has marked hundreds of ancient buildings, marked and unmarked warehouses left by the Japanese army,
Catching the traitors who slipped through the net has left the reception staff of the Ministry of Social Affairs in a hurry.
Those handed over by the Japanese army were all famous traitors. However, as the seat of the puppet North China Autonomous Government and the current North China Administrative Affairs Commission, and the first big city to fall after the July 7th Incident, there were so many traitors in Peiping. The traitors had become dead tigers.
, but this little traitor who is the most destructive in specific matters is still lurking in Beiping City.
Although these people are not as harmful as those famous traitors as a whole, they are more harmful to the stability of the city and the safety of material reserves than those famous traitors. If these people are not eliminated as soon as possible, it will
The city will always be in a state of instability.
There are also those arms warehouses. If you don't seize the time to rush them out, they are almost a time bomb. Who can guarantee that there are no saboteurs left in the city? If someone slips through the net, they can do something inside. The quantity is not small, and the supply
The arms warehouse required for the entire Beiping battlefield could lift half of the city of Beiping into the sky.
After the troops entered the city, more than 100,000 anti-aircraft shells were found in the Di'anmen gate alone. A huge amount of high explosives were also piled up inside the Tiananmen gate tower. In the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven, there were also
A large number of infantry artillery and mountain artillery shells were accumulated.
The Japanese army seems to have figured out the Chinese people's pulse, knowing that the Chinese will not shell or air raid the things left by their ancestors. Most of these arms warehouses are stored in the Temple of Heaven, Beihai, and even the Forbidden City.
Among the ancient buildings. If these things are not transported out as quickly as possible, it will be an unstable factor.
Let’s not talk about the factors behind the Japanese air raid. If a spy or traitor threw a grenade inside, half of the city of Peiping might be gone. The Japanese army is very capable of recruiting traitors. Who knows if they will be there?
Before leaving, a large number of spies were deployed in the city? The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area had suffered a lot in this regard in the past few years.
The various military camps of the Japanese and puppet troops, which were non-important targets, were not taken care of for the time being. The busy receiving personnel could only inform the anti-union troops entering the city to receive them themselves, find a place to rest and recuperate by themselves, and have already sent people to the specific locations.
The location has been delivered to them.
Moreover, the fraternal forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance entering the city have been distributed with maps of the urban area. The person in charge of receiving the information thought that the fraternal anti-Union forces entering the city would look for their bases themselves. As a result, I don’t know where there was a communication problem. Until now,
It hasn't been conveyed yet, and it's not because I didn't care.
In response to the boss's unusually severe criticism, the Social Minister of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Branch and the Deputy Director of the Political Department of the Military Region, who presided over the acceptance, did not dare to delay any further even though they were full of grievances. They immediately sent people to take the jeep provided by the Anti-Japanese League.
With the anti-alliance cadres, they immediately stationed in various military camps to quickly receive them.
And allocate them within a short period of time, allowing the anti-union forces entering the city to immediately enter several barracks in the city to rest. But even so, the existing barracks in the city cannot accommodate the two divisions entering the city. Leaving a part of the troops can only
We first stationed ourselves in the institutions left behind by the Japanese puppets, and used the waiting rooms of several stations to rest, at least to ensure that the troops would not really get into trouble.
At the same time, they tried to get some empty gasoline barrels, and quickly mobilized a batch of coal and wood from the surrounding areas to provide warmth for the anti-Japanese troops entering the city. The boss did not go there during this period, and sat in the puppet temporary reception headquarters.
In the city hall, all the resting places for the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops entering the city were determined, and the troops began to move in one after another before leaving.
However, the troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance that entered Beiping City only stayed in the city for two days. With the two brigades of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region transferred from the Hebei-Chahar Military Region to serve as garrison troops, and the public security corps formed, they officially entered Beiping City.
With the exception of the anti-aircraft artillery units that entered Peiping City, all other ground troops evacuated Peiping.
Except for one division that was transferred to the Tianjin battlefield, the rest of the troops all went south to Jizhong to participate in the war. As for their commanding agencies, they had already moved south to station in Renqiu County. The entire Pingjin battlefield, except for the five divisions commanded by Wang Xiaoming, formed an encirclement on Tianjin.
Outside of the situation, there were no more ground troops fighting against the Allied Forces. Everything from Renqiu to the north of Baoding was handed over to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
It seems that Beiping Castle was completely recovered from the Japanese army. Due to the strict information control in Japan, it did not cause any big disturbance. After withdrawing to Tianjin, he moved to Jinan and continued to be in charge of the North China battlefield. Okamura Neiji
, because the battlefield in North China is currently raging, he has not been held accountable for the time being.
In fact, there are quite a few people in the base camp who demand that General Okamura Neiji be held accountable for abandoning Peiping. However, among the senior Japanese generals, there is currently no candidate to replace him. So despite the heated discussions in the base camp,
In the end, it was decided to let General Okamura continue to exert his remaining heat for the time being, at least while the battlefield in North China is heating up.
The base camp is for the North China Front Army that has moved to Jinan. The main task in this battle is to re-open the connection with the Kwantung Army and ensure the smooth flow of the Tianjin-Puzhou Railway. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of Shandong and eastern Henan and restore the central Hebei Province.
The situation of Pingyuan in 2014.
In the telegram, the base camp solemnly told Okamura Neiji that this was his last chance. If ground contact with the Kwantung Army could not be restored and the Beining and Jinpu railways could not be reopened, then the base camp would never give him Okamura again.
Neji's second chance.
But compared with the Japanese army, which had constant undercurrents below, but at least it was calm on the surface. After the Anti-Japanese Alliance regained Peiping, a huge storm arose in the country regarding the Battle of Peiping. After receiving the telegram that Peiping City had been recovered intact,
The central government, which has been under tremendous pressure from all aspects before, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter what methods the previous bosses and Yang Zhen took, Beiping, the thousand-year-old capital, was completely preserved, allowing the central government to take the initiative in many aspects. At least the communications staff of the Central Confidential Office did not have to be influenced by all aspects.
The pile of telegrams was so overwhelming that I couldn't even breathe.
The Joint Office of the Eighteenth Army Group and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation stationed in Chongqing also lost no time at this time and organized a group of reporters from the rear to visit Peiping to investigate and quell doubts from all aspects. Although the superficial pressure has eased.
Some, but it does not mean that the ears can really be quieter. There are still many doubts.
As for the people, a huge wave of celebrations was set off. The Anti-Japanese Alliance and the 18th Army successfully regained Peiping. It was the first major city in the Guanhai battlefield to be recovered from the Japanese army since the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance. Peiping's
The recovery was not only of great military significance, but also of great political significance. The "Xinhua Daily" that published the disappearing newspaper still sold Luoyang paper even though it was reprinted countless times.
Although in the North China battlefield last year, we also recovered Datong and the Great Wall in northern Shanxi, the entire Suiyuan and Chahar, and Xinjing in the northeast. However, those places are either too unknown or too far away for the people in the country.
.Especially Xinjing, although it is actually more significant politically.
But most people are still confused about where Xinjing is. The capital of the Puppet Manchukuo and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in the far northeast are still too unfamiliar and too unfamiliar to most Chinese people.
It's too far away. If the Puppet Manchukuo had not established its capital in this city, I am afraid that most people in the pass would not know that there is a city like Changchun in the Northeast.
Compared with Xinjing, which actually has more political and military significance, it was completely recovered by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Except for people from the Northeast, it did not cause too much repercussions in the hearts of the people. This recovery was once the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties.
It has long been the political, economic, and cultural center of China. Even in the eyes of many older generations, Peiping still stubbornly believes that it is still the capital of China. Compared with the impact of the recapture of Xinjing last year, it is even greater.
This complete recovery of Peiping has undoubtedly made the people in the rear areas who have persisted for six years amidst suffering and endurance extremely inspired and excited. Especially on this New Year's Day of 1944, when the recovery is approaching.
Peiping has undoubtedly given an extremely important New Year gift to the people in the rear area.
Although it cannot completely alleviate the suffering caused by soaring prices and shortage of materials in the entire rear area at present, it can also alleviate the heavy burden caused by constant conscription and food requisition. But at this time, the successful recovery of Peiping has undoubtedly given the people of the country a
