The devastating fire that was ignited in the two hospitals and the surrounding areas was also well prepared, although it also caused a certain amount of chaos. However, under the effective control of a large number of workers from the surrounding troops and underground party organizations, despite the entire
It burned for a day and a night, but fortunately it did not spread to a large area in the end.
However, under the power of thirty napalm bombs, when the fire was finally extinguished, all the buildings in this area had been burned to ashes. Even if there were infected fleas and rats running out, they would be burned when the fire started.
It cannot survive under extremely high temperatures.
Yang Zhen's prompt decision minimized the risks that may have been caused by the desperate struggle of the Japanese germ warfare troops. However, the fire in Tianjin was deeply remembered by Tianjin people. Decades later, some people still lamented, thanks to
Yang Zhen's fire completely destroyed the Japanese germ warfare unit. Otherwise, once the virus spread, many people in Tianjin would die.
However, after the fire was extinguished, the Tianjin Working Committee and Tao Jingfei, who were still a little worried, organized a large number of manpower under the supervision of Yang Zhen to spray low-concentration acetic acid on a large area of populated areas within the Hexi area of Tianjin. The entire Japanese Concession
Use aircraft and manpower to spray large amounts of anti-virus liquid.
Distributed rodenticides in urban areas of Tianjin and launched a massive rodent eradication campaign. A large amount of lime was sprinkled even in the sewers. At the same time, the isatis root in various traditional Chinese medicine stores in Tianjin was centralized controlled and transferred to reserves for use.
To prevent the possible outbreak of large-scale infectious diseases.
Choose two to three hospitals with the best medical standards in Tianjin and set up isolation wards. Once there are cases of unexplained illness, they must be isolated first. The Tianjin Working Committee should organize a group of medical reserve teams and come up with a set of medical and nursing equipment.
Emergency plans for transportation, health, etc.
At the same time, Yang Zhen found a way to mobilize a large number of protective clothing and medical masks from the Northeast to Tianjin. He also directly transferred five medium-sized jeeps from his own troops on the battlefield in Tianjin, as well as ten Japanese trucks seized from the battlefield, and temporarily modified them.
It is an ambulance and is allocated to the Tianjin Working Committee for use.
Although no mode of contagion has been found in Tianjin at the moment, Yang Zhen has brought to the present the measures taken by the country during the SARS epidemic in later generations. Of course, the financial and material resources available now are incomparable to those in later generations.
But under the limited conditions, Yang Zhen still tried his best to ask those below to do it as satisfactorily as possible.
Even after the second phase of the battle started, Yang Zhen continued to send reports from the front line in the name of the General Front Committee, making demands on Tianjin's epidemic prevention work. This was extremely rare for Yang Zhen, who basically never interfered in local work.
.But it was not until the winter of 1944 that there was no large-scale outbreak in Tianjin and surrounding areas, or even small-scale infections, that Yang Zhen finally felt relieved.
Compared with receiving the interrogation report, it was learned that there were no other Japanese germ warfare units in Tianjin. The Japanese North China Front Army's North Branch A 1855 Unit, except for some personnel in the secret base in Qingdao, had been wiped out by them.
After that, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the influence of the changes in the Japanese Concession, a single move affected the entire Tianjin battlefield, and the situation in the entire Tianjin battlefield was quickly reversed. However, after taking over the Tianjin battlefield, the battle situation had been unable to be conquered for a long time, and the heart had been under tremendous pressure.
Tao Jingfei also breathed a sigh of relief.
While the fierce battle was taking place in Yamato Park, the battalion that had previously advanced north along Fukushima Street was blocked by the Japanese at the Christian Church line. However, it cut off the southern part of the Japanese Concession and its previous connection with the Chinese community. This gave the Japanese Concession and the
The development of the attacking forces within the Chinese boundary between the South Canal created favorable fighter opportunities.
After receiving the report from He Zhishan, Tao Jingfei immediately seized the favorable opportunity of the change in the war situation in the Japanese Concession and immediately inserted a fully organized regiment from along the Japanese Concession into the adjacent Chinese border. Along the security lane, Guangshan
Main street line, attack forward through interspersed attacks toward Guangxing Street line.
The timing and position of the regiment that Tao Jingfei invested was very accurate. This punch hit the waist of the enemy defenders of the entire Chinese border on the west bank of the Haihe River to the north of the Japanese Concession. Here were the two entire Japanese defenders of Hexi.
The junction was located at the most critical position of the Japanese army in Hexi.
The Japanese army's defense posture in the entire Hexi area of Tianjin was based on the dividing line between the Japanese Concession and the Chinese border, forming two large defensive areas in the north and south. The Japanese Concession and the British and French Concession south of this line were the 48th Division, the main force of the Japanese army defending Tianjin.
The regiment's 48th Infantry Regiment, plus part of the baggage and an engineering unit, were independently mixed into an infantry brigade of the 15th Brigade. And the main force was already on the outer battlefield, and the remnants of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade were formed.
The entire Chinese border north of the Japanese Concession, including the old county seat of Tianjin, is based on an infantry brigade of the 1st Regiment of Taiwan Infantry of the 48th Division as the backbone, plus the 59th Division and the 59th Division that were withdrawn from the Peiping battlefield.
The remnants of the 110th Division, plus the remaining four infantry squadrons after the 27th Division was completely wiped out, as well as two squadrons each of engineers and baggage troops left behind.
On the one hand, they have been recharging their strength for a long time and suffered certain losses in peripheral operations, but their vitality is still there. On the other hand, they have gathered up the remaining elites to fight in Peiping and have lost all their energy. This is all due to the unique characteristics of the Japanese army.
With their inertia and willpower, as well as a complete defense system and a super shameless battle plan, they are still persisting in defeating the defeated army.
There is no doubt that the infantry regiment of the 48th Division in the Japanese Concession plays a backbone role in the entire Hexi battlefield. At present, the backbone of the Japanese Concession is already in a difficult position and can no longer provide any support to the defenders in the Chinese border.
Effect. The psychological blow to the defeated generals of the Chinese community was quite huge.
Tao Jingfei's punch from the Japanese army's backbone positions throughout Hexi undoubtedly shook the confidence of the remaining soldiers north of the Japanese Concession. In addition, this regiment continued to implement weaving and roundabouts within their core positions. And
The increasing pressure from the front has shaken the overall defense posture of the Japanese army north of the Japanese Concession.
After six hours of repeated attacks, the regiment that attacked north from the Japanese Concession finally took control of the entire west bank of the Haihe River after several hard battles. The originally stalemate situation was stalemate. The regiment penetrated from the flanks and disrupted the Japanese army on the south bank of the South Canal.
Until the entire deployment of the Japanese Concession.
On the east bank of the Haihe River, the main force of the three divisions attacked Jintang Bridge from the Japanese Bridge. After hard fighting, they successively captured important targets such as the Social Bureau and the Manchuria Railway. After paying a heavy price, they finally captured the Jintang Bridge.
A bridge connecting the east and west banks of the Haihe River.
After the entire division quickly passed through Jintang Bridge, it successively seized important strongholds along the river such as the Public Security Bureau, the First District Office, and the Federation of Trade Unions, and merged with the Hexi troops. After the main force of the third division crossed the river, the Japanese army's overall defense line in Hexi was like a crumbling wall.
The building began to collapse.
As for the war situation in Hedong, it collapsed earlier than in Hexi. The 37th Division and the 3rd Division and one regiment that went into battle south of the 3rd Division successively captured the British Taikoo Wharf, the Asia Petroleum Company, and Kailuan in the former Russian Concession.
After the Mining Bureau, with a regiment of troops, after four hours of fierce fighting, they captured the Wanguo Bridge connecting the French Concession and Hedong.
Defeated the Second Regiment of the Japanese Army deployed in Hedong, an infantry brigade of the First Regiment, plus an ad hoc regiment temporarily formed by armed Japanese expatriates, and two infantry brigades of independent mixed brigades.
The garrison formed formed and captured the entire former Russian and Italian Concession area.
After capturing the front line of Wanguo Bridge, the unit immediately crossed a regiment and entered the French Concession. The brother troops, cooperating with the frontal attack on the French Concession, quickly captured the entire French Concession. Forty-eight hours after Tao Jingfei adjusted his tactical deployment, in addition to the British Concession, there were also
Some remnants of the enemy are still resisting, and most areas in Tianjin have been cleared.
The battle north of the South Canal was the first to end among all the battles in urban Tianjin. Just as the overall Japanese defense in Hedong and Hexi collapsed completely, the Japanese defenders north of the South Canal who had been struggling to support themselves began to
It has been divided and enclosed in several strongholds.
The restructured garrison was composed of the remnants of the only remaining regiment that had lost all its heavy weapons after the main force of the Japanese reinforcements division was sunk in the Bohai Sea, plus an infantry brigade of the Taiwan First Regiment, plus the 48th Division.
The main force of the regiment search wing, as well as the Japanese Navy personnel in Tianjin. In terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will, it is not as good as the defenders composed of the remnants of the 110th Division and the 59th Division in the Huajie District of Hexi Province.
In addition, this area already belonged to the periphery of Tianjin, and after the cooperation with other friendly neighboring troops was cut off, the combat effectiveness declined quite quickly. The troops north of the South Canal adopted the tactic of eating meat first and then chewing bones. The earliest
The battle north of the South Canal ended. When Jintang Bridge and Wanguo Bridge were successively captured by the anti-alliance forces, the gunfire north of the South Canal had ended.
The overall situation of the Tianjin war came to an end, which made Tao Jingfei breathe a complete sigh of relief. After the Peking War ended, when No. 1 transferred himself to the Tianjin battlefield to replace Wang Xiaoming who was urgently transferred back to the Northeast, he knew that the Tianjin battle would be a tough one.
.But he didn’t expect that this battle would be so difficult.
Although Wang Xiaoming had completed the encirclement of Tianjin before and laid a good foundation for himself. However, whether it was the battle for various peripheral points or the street fighting in the urban area, Tao Jingfei felt that the fight was extremely difficult. Since joining the army, Tianjin
This battle can be said to be the most difficult battle he has ever experienced.
However, although it was the most difficult battle I have ever experienced, fortunately, it was basically defeated. At present, in the entire Tianjin city, except for a small number of remaining enemies that are still being cleared, most of the Japanese troops have been eliminated. It can be said that the overall situation is basically
It has been determined that although the factory area in Tianjin has suffered some damage, it has been basically preserved intact.
Although some mistakes were made during the battle, fortunately, they were dealt with in time and did not cause any major consequences. At the moment, Tao Jingfei also relieved the biggest burden in his heart. This kind of situation requires the complete elimination of the defending enemy, but cannot
It has caused too much damage to the city and has to complete the tough battle of protecting the factory area. It is really not something that ordinary people can fight.
At the same time that the war situation in Tianjin was beginning to collapse, the anti-alliance forces participating in the war in the direction of Tanggu, with the cooperation of a half-track armored vehicle battalion, had completed the battle of Tanggu and completely recovered Tianjin's new seaport. However, the Japanese army
At the last moment, they took the lead and blew up all the Japanese military warehouses around Tanggu Pier.
However, although the warehouses around Tanggu Pier were all blown up by the Japanese army first, the entire Tanggu Port Pier was completely preserved. The complete preservation of these wharfs and equipment is far more valuable to the Chinese than the Japanese military supplies.
The warehouse is much more valuable.
At the same time as Tanggu was liberated, the Japanese army set up a labor camp in Tanggu specifically to transfer laborers from North China to Japan. Basically, more than 7,000 surviving laborers and prisoners of war who were preparing to be plundered to Japan were rescued safely. By the time Tanggu arrived,
The recapture heralded that the war in the entire Tianjin battlefield was basically over.
