The two battalions, which received timely reinforcements from He Zhishan, launched attacks from the front and right flank of Yamato Park respectively. After five hours of fierce fighting, they were finally trapped to the north of the Japanese military police and fought hard with the surrounding Japanese troops for more than six hours.
Liu Guanghua's troops, who only had one platoon left, were rescued.
After reuniting with the reinforcements, Liu Guanghua and his troops continued to fight with the brothers regardless of the casualties and fatigue after the long battle. There was no way, his instructor and all the wounded in the previous battle were still on the bank of the Haihe River.
Waiting for rescue inside Okura Yangko.
The result of the battle in Yamato Park not only allowed He Zhishan's troops to be rescued before Liu Guanghua's army, which had few remaining troops, was completely destroyed, but also completely shaken the Japanese garrison system in the entire Japanese Concession. The battle situation in the entire Japanese Concession was changed.
Caught in a rapid collapse like an avalanche.
After capturing Yamato Park, the two battalions did not make any stops. Instead, they used the street lights turned on by the Japanese army as instructions to continue fierce fighting in the surrounding area, and successively captured several important targets such as the Japanese Gendarmerie on Rong Street and Zhonghe Hospital.
.and also launched an attack on the front line of Renai Hospital to the east.
After capturing Zhonghe Hospital, he saw that the basement of the hospital was filled with large bottles containing human body structures and a large number of so-called medical staff wearing Japanese civilian uniforms. Liu Guanghua finally understood why the Japanese army seemed to be desperate for their lives.
Concentrate a large number of troops to counterattack against yourself who can't hold more than one battalion.
Originally, the headquarters had repeatedly ordered to search for the Japanese North China Front's germ warfare unit just after crossing the Haihe River. The straight-line distance was even close to the hospital. After discovering this result, Liu Guanghua urgently contacted the 33rd Regiment to take charge.
The commanding deputy commander informed all other troops to be careful in the next battle.
If anything is found to be wrong, it will be burned with a flamethrower. Especially when capturing the entire Japanese Concession north of Mingshan Street and the hospitals in the Japanese Concession, whether they are opened by the Chinese, the Japanese, or
If you open a building opened by personnel from other countries, you must be careful. Especially buildings such as basements are not allowed to enter. Regardless of whether there are Japanese troops inside, they will be burned directly with flamethrowers.
After receiving Liu Guanghua's report, the deputy commander of the 33rd Regiment remembered the report from his superiors before the war. Without any delay, he immediately made a detailed report of Liu Guanghua's suggestions to all participating troops. At the same time, he reported to his superiors and
The neighboring troops also made a detailed briefing.
It was precisely with this order that the troops did not get into trouble when they captured the Ren'ai Hospital, the Japanese army's bacterial culture base. After sending personnel to the basement of the Ren'ai Hospital, which was specially used by the Japanese army to place bacterial culture equipment for cultivating bacteria,
After pouring two barrels of gasoline and alcohol mixture, use a flamethrower to light it.
Because of his unique experience, he was worried that during the battle, the troops would encounter eager Japanese troops launching germ warfare, and might encounter Japanese germ warfare bases. Therefore, after the expansion of the troops, Yang Zhen had always paid attention to the use of germs against the Japanese troops.
Preparation for war.
Not only have all medical staff received corresponding training, but even the health workers of all the troops in the Anti-Japanese War have been trained to deal with Japanese bacterial warfare and are familiar with the equipment used by the Japanese army to cultivate bacteria. Each division carries out every battle
The supplies are also equipped with corresponding medicines.
At the same time, military officers at all levels of the army, including company-level cadres, have also received training in identifying Japanese bacterial culture equipment and using animals to culture bacteria. Because Yang Zhen knew very well that he had already solved the problem in Northeast China by himself.
The 731st and 100th units were only part of the Japanese germ warfare unit, or their backbone.
In addition to these two largest bacteriological warfare units, they also have several smaller bacteriological warfare units in the Guannei battlefield, which belong to various front armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces. In order to strengthen the bacteriological warfare combat capabilities of each department, so as to
Under unfavorable circumstances, bacterial weapons can be used on a large scale.
Although he doesn’t know the size of the Japanese germ warfare base in the pass and its exact location. But Yang Zhen judged from the location of troops 731 and 100 that it should be the most heavily guarded in Japan.
A core city with convenient transportation.
Therefore, when entering the battlefields in Guannei this time, especially in the battlefields of Peking and Tianjin, Yang Zhen specially held a meeting of the chiefs of staff of each army regiment and above, and repeatedly told all the troops participating in the battle to pay attention to searching for possible Japanese troops when fighting in the city.
Bacterial warfare base. During combat, be more careful.
Once a place suspected to be a Japanese germ warfare base is encountered, it must be completely destroyed regardless of whether it can be confirmed or not. For this reason, Yang Zhen also specially transferred some flamethrowers from the Northeast to strengthen the two major battlefields of Ping and Tianjin.
Troops in different directions. Therefore, the troops participating in the battle on the two battlefields of Peking and Tianjin were extremely cautious under Yang Zhen's repeated instructions.
After discovering the secrets of the two hospitals, they immediately used flamethrowers to eliminate them without any hesitation. Although Renai Hospital also had a large basement, no one was sent down to verify whether it was a Japanese germ warfare unit.
, a place used to cultivate bacteria.
But after receiving the report from Liu Guanghua, the commander of the company that attacked Renai Hospital did not hesitate to use the gasoline and alcohol seized from the hospital, poured it into the basement of unknown depth, and lit it.
Turn on the fire and get it over with.
Fortunately, the troops were more cautious. The Japanese troops at Renai Hospital, the so-called Northern Branch A 1855 Troop, struggled to death before being destroyed. Without having time to destroy the evidence, they opened all the incubators in the basement.
Cages and containers for cholera, plague, anthrax, typhoid and other viral animals. All the fleas and mice that were bred in them to cultivate viruses were released.
Compared with Zhonghe Hospital, which is mainly used for pathological research and storage of specimens, Renai Hospital was forcibly taken over by the Japanese army and expanded its basement on a large scale. It was mainly used for cultivating experimental animals. In the basement here, a large number of contaminated animals were bred.
Vicious infectious diseases of rats and fleas.
If the abnormality hadn't been discovered in Zhonghe Hospital, which aroused the vigilance of the anti-union attack force, they would not have entered the basement rashly, but would have taken the lead and completely destroyed these things with fire. No matter who entered, as long as they were covered by the things that had been spread throughout the basement, they would
A bite from a flea or rat infected with plague, typhoid, cholera and other viruses can have serious consequences. And if even one rat escapes, it will bring devastating harm to the entire city of Tianjin.
Fortunately, this bacterial warfare unit of the Japanese North China Front was delayed too much time due to continuous migration. Moreover, after moving to Tianjin, there were not many places available for it. The available locations were small and the area for cultivation was small.
The number of bacteria was not large, and the number of animals used for experiments was not large, so it did not cause excessive harm.
After receiving the report that the two Japanese germ warfare bases were discovered by the frontline troops, Tao Jingfei immediately made an emergency report to Yang Zhen, who was about to return to Hejian. After hearing Tao Jingfei's report, Yang Zhen thought for a moment and immediately told Tao Jingfei to immediately
Three things to do.
The first thing is to immediately send people to interrogate all the Japanese captured from these two hospitals as quickly as possible, especially their commander Eiji Nishimura. All necessary means can be used to find out whether there are still Japanese troops in Tianjin.
There is no other similar base. How many bacterial weapons did the Japanese army store in Tianjin and where were they located?
The second thing is to ask Tao Jingfei to immediately seal off the surrounding areas of the two hospitals. All the buildings of the two hospitals, starting from Nanisu Street in the east, Azuma Street in the west, south of Qingshi Street, north of Rong Street, Renai Hospital, etc.
All the buildings were doused with gasoline and burned down completely to eliminate all future troubles.
In Yang Zhen's view, no one can guarantee that all the bacteria cultured by the Japanese troops in these two hospitals have been eliminated? No one can guarantee, and I am afraid no one can guarantee it. Especially in the basement of Renai Hospital, those infected with the bacteria have been eliminated.
None of the mice or fleas that were full of vicious infectious diseases escaped. Especially parasites such as fleas, which are difficult to see with the naked eye unless they crawl onto the human body.
In order to ensure the safety of the citizens of Tianjin and the troops participating in the war, we would rather be scolded by the citizens of Tianjin than leave any consequences. At the same time, all residents who moved out of the Renai Hospital were immediately forced to quarantine. And during the move, all residents except those on their bodies were
Do not bring any belongings other than your clothes.
However, when setting a fire, you must be isolated and prepared. You must burn all the houses in this area, but you must not let the fire spread. This matter can allow the aviation force to use napalm bombs to attack the houses in this area.
Low altitude bombing to completely destroy all buildings.
The third thing is to order the troops participating in the battle for these two hospitals to immediately stop their advance and withdraw all. During the evacuation, do not evacuate on foot, and do not come into contact with any other troops during the evacuation. The troops under your command are in contact with all surrounding troops.
All residents were evacuated using trucks with canvas. All combatants were quarantined and observed, and response measures were prepared. All weapons used and military uniforms were destroyed.
After explaining these three things, Yang Zhen immediately sent a report to the Northeast. He asked the Northeast Bureau to quickly organize a group of medical staff, mobilize a sufficient amount of disinfectants and medicines, and airlift them to the battlefield in Tianjin to prepare for emergencies. At the same time, he telegraphed to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province in Peiping.
The Military Region requested them to immediately mobilize a group of medical staff from Peiping and raise a batch of bleaching powder and disinfectant to be airlifted to Tianjin in an emergency.
After personally drafting a telegram to the Northeast Bureau and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Yang Zhen personally contacted the aviation force and asked them to immediately dispatch the best attack aircraft pilots to prepare to use napalm bombs to attack targets designated by the ground forces.
Yang Zhen's order to the aviation force was to conduct multiple batches of attacks at ultra-low altitudes, and the designated target area must be completely ignited.
During the operation, he must ensure that all napalm bombs are thrown into the designated target area. If the target area cannot be completely ignited, he will punish the aviation commander on the Tianjin battlefield. But one napalm bomb fell into the target area.
Elsewhere, he will still give the aviation commanders the harshest punishment.
This order undoubtedly carries a huge risk for Yang Zhen. In a densely populated urban area like Tianjin, when using powerful incendiary bombs such as napalm bombs, once the control is not good when throwing, or emergency measures are not taken,
Maybe half of Tianjin will be burned down.
But in order to avoid large-scale infectious diseases in Tianjin after the war, especially plague and typhoid, two infectious diseases with extremely high mortality rates, Yang Zhen did not care much. He would rather be criticized after the war than to
Let these Pandora's demons released by the Japanese army threaten the lives of Tianjin citizens.
