Having said this, Du Kaishan walked to the Tianjin city map hanging in Tao Jingfei's headquarters, picked up his baton and pointed at the concessions he mentioned, "As for the British and French concessions, although there are no germ warfare units
It's a little further away. But the Japanese army already has a headquarters here that is responsible for the entire Hexi battlefield. If another military-level headquarters is set up here, then the density of this high-level headquarters will be a bit too high for a small theater.
It’s high.”
"At the same time, the British, French and American concessions are around the Wanguo Bridge, and on the other side is the Tianjin Railway Station. In addition to the Japanese concessions, it is also where the main docks of Tianjin River Port are located. There are too many key targets within the scope. Even a fool knows that these areas must be in our army
It is within the key attack targets. Such an area is obviously not suitable as the location of the high command."
"As for the Russian Concession in Hedong, it is located along the railway line and around Tianjin Railway Station, which is also not suitable. The Italian Concession is also easy to focus on too many targets, and it is between the Chinese border and the Russian Concession, which has a large number of strategic targets.
It is very disadvantageous. As for the concession, the room for maneuver is too small. Once surrounded, there will be no way to retreat."
"Judging from the entire process of the Tianjin Campaign you described, the commander of the 48th Division, Dohashi Yongyi, is very cunning. Not only was he able to escape almost completely under the siege of Wang Xiaoming's heavy troops, but he was also involved in your battle for the periphery.
, preserved the main strength of the Forty-Eighth Division."
"In the battle for urban Tianjin, the artillery positions were also set up very cleverly. This gave us a firepower advantage, but it was unable to be used. Moreover, the tight blockade of Tianjin urban area made us basically unable to gain anything in the critical battle against Tianjin urban area.
An effective source of intelligence. This shows that this person is quite cunning and is definitely not the kind of general who will fight head-on."
"Judging from these characteristics, this person will never set up his headquarters in such an obvious place and wait for us to pick it up. To capture the thief first, capture the king. This is a characteristic of our Eastern war. He will not do this.
I don’t know. Especially since the Kwantung Army has suffered heavy losses from us many times, he will not fail to learn from the lesson and make the headquarters as hidden as possible to reduce the possibility of being raided.”
"Of course, it is not impossible for his headquarters to be located in these areas before the collapse of the Japanese concession war situation. But one thing I know very well is that even if it is set up in these areas. But after the collapse of the Japanese concession war situation, he will definitely lead
Move to the headquarters."
"Because if he can no longer see that the battle for Tianjin City is beyond hope, it will not be consistent with his performance since the war began. So I think even if his original headquarters is in the places I mentioned before. But
After the war in the Japanese Concession turns around, he will definitely transfer his headquarters as soon as possible."
"He broke the Japanese army's practice of reducing the level of command as much as possible on a single battlefield. He set up a command headquarters on the east and west banks of the Haihe River. This shows that he is not the kind of old-fashioned person who only knows mechanical dogma. If he
If my guess about his whereabouts is correct, it means that he must have prepared an emergency plan to deal with the possibility of the war situation deteriorating at any time."
"So even if his headquarters is being transferred, it will not cause confusion in the command. Judging from the technical support capabilities of the Japanese army and the distance between the Tianjin battlefields, even during the transfer of his headquarters, there will be no chaos in the command."
The command may not really be interrupted. Judging from the previous battle situation, this guy is very clever, and he certainly understands the principle of a cunning rabbit's three holes."
"At the same time, you said that since the battle for the urban area began, all high-power radio station signals in the city disappeared and were replaced by a large number of fifteen-watt radio stations. This is normal. The fifteen-watt radio stations can directly contact Jinan, and even
Contact the Kwantung Army. Under the current war situation, the Japanese base camp cannot be of much help. Contacting Jinan and the Kwantung Army is enough."
"Since a fifteen-watt radio station can meet the needs, why do we still have a high-power radio station so that our opponents can easily discover our location? In addition, the fifteen-watt radio station is also a field radio station, so it can be used without
Rely on fixed power supply. Whether it is a hand motor or a small gasoline generator, you can easily meet the power needs."
"In such a narrow battlefield environment, no matter where our headquarters is, it is already exposed to our cannons. It is normal for the Japanese army to stop using high-power radios to conceal the location of their headquarters.
Yes, we would actually do the same thing if it were changed."
"But old comrade-in-arms, have you ever thought about the possibility that Lieutenant General Dohashi Yuuichi not only did not use high-power radios during the entire battle, but also did not even use the 15-watt radio set? Those ten-meter radios in the city
In addition to confusing us, Wuwa Radio has another possibility. It is to serve as a relay station to relay the radio stations between the 48th Division Headquarters and Jinan."
"And the five-watt radio station at their division headquarters is only responsible for receiving and not transmitting? This will not affect safety, but also ensure the smooth communication. Lao Tao, on this Haihe Plain, the power of the five-watt radio station is
, enough to cover the entire urban area of Tianjin, and the most important thing is that it does not attract attention. As for the required antennas that do not require special settings, there are many ways to disguise them."
"I think you have chosen the wrong target. In this way, you should not search the area where you changed your tactics and adopted a mercury-dropping offensive. Instead, place your search scope within Tianjin Huajie. And don't just search
When searching Hexi and Hedong areas, we should also search mainly the original Austrian Concession area. The focus is on places with basements or complete underground fortifications."
"There is another place that you are sending personnel to search carefully. That is the area south of Yoshino Street in the Japanese Concession. It is mainly an area that has not passed through major battles before. This also includes the location of your headquarters, the entire Haiguang Temple, Japan
The triangle area from the crematorium to the French Concession.”
"There is a saying that it's dark under the light. I don't need to tell you the exact meaning of this sentence. You can understand it without me telling you. Many times, in this kind of street fighting, the most dangerous place seems to be the safest place.
Maybe the little devil, the Forty-Eighth Division Headquarters, is even hiding under your nose."
"But if you want to catch this guy faster, I have another way that you can try. That is to use all your radio stations, including all the radio stations in Tianjin that are in our hands, to
Radio silence.”
"The Battle of Tianjin is now over, and the enemy defenders in Tianjin have been completely wiped out by me. At the same time, our army has captured Tanggu and completely eliminated the last Japanese stronghold around Tianjin. Under this situation, even if Dohashi Yongyi is calm, he will
Even if you are steady, you have to think of an escape."
"But since all the surrounding areas are occupied by us, unless he has the guts to jump into the Haihe River and swim down the river in this weather, he can swim out of Dagukou under our noses and safely cross the entire Bohai Bay.
The ice-covered area before boarding the ship. Otherwise, if he wants to escape, he can only find another way and leave Tianjin city first."
"That is to say, they either risk being captured by us at any time and take the land route from Tianjin directly to Jinan. Or they can escape from Tianjin and wait for their superiors to send a plane to pick them up. It is definitely not safe to take the land route. Jin-Pu Railway
Now the entire line is interrupted, and there are not only our troops along the line, but also a large number of brother troops on both sides of Jinpu Road."
"Coupled with the problems of language and carrying weapons. He wanted to walk to Jinan or Texas, and the risks along the way were too great. I think the possibility of them choosing this method of escape cannot be said to be at all.
No. But unless there is no third way to choose, the possibility is basically unlikely."
"So if he wants to escape, he has only two ways. Either escape from the city and find a flat place where small planes can take off and land. Or escape from the city and run to the beach to wait for the Japanese army to send ships with ice-breaking capabilities.
Support. However, the second method requires too many resources, and the possibility is not very high."
"The only most likely possibility is that he and his superiors, after communicating via radio, took advantage of the detailed map in their hands and the fact that the terrain south of Tianjin city is flat and vast, and it is impossible for our army to deploy tight defenses in all areas.
Find a way to escape from Tianjin City first, and then contact a plane to pick him up."
"But no matter what method he chooses, as long as he wants to escape safely back to the Japanese-occupied area, he must contact his superiors. Such a five-watt radio may not be enough. At least he must activate a fifteen-watt radio.
Radio. As long as we keep the radio silent, reduce air signal interference and pay attention to monitoring, it is not very difficult to find his approximate location. After finding the approximate location, it is better to search again than to find a needle in a haystack."
After listening to Du Kaishan's idea, Tao Jingfei frowned: "This is a good idea. But there is one thing that I can't figure out. You said that the area east of Yoshino Street in the Japanese Concession is in my commander's territory.
Right under my nose? Is that possible?"
After Tao Jingfei finished speaking, Du Kaishan shook his head with a wry smile: "Old comrade, since the July 7th Incident, the Japanese army has occupied Tianjin for seven full years. Although these seven years are not long, they are not short either.
Is it difficult for the Japanese army to do something underground in Tianjin during these seven years?"
"And it has been forty-six years since the Japanese Concession was opened at the end of the last century. With the virtue of the Japanese people, it is impossible not to do something in the Japanese Concession. In addition, before the July 7th Incident, Tianjin
It is the place where Japan has the largest number of troops stationed within the Chinese Pass."
"Especially Haiguang Temple, which has always been the location of the headquarters of the Chinese garrison in Japan. In this area, over the years, you would not think that the Japanese army has done nothing at all. Even if there is nothing on the ground, what about underground? For more than 40 years,
Time is enough for the Japanese to come up with some tricks on this land."
"Why I say that Dohashi Yongyi would not choose the British, French, American, and Italian concessions as the location of his secret headquarters? It is because they basically only took full control of these concessions after the outbreak of the Pacific War.
.And the Italian Concession was finally controlled by Italy after it surrendered last year.”
"Before occupying the concession, they did not trust Westerners, including their Italian allies. Moreover, the British, French and American concession authorities would not allow them to do these things in their own jurisdiction. After the Pacific War broke out and it was too short, they
There won’t be many opportunities for large-scale construction. Therefore, the focus of your investigation should still be within the Chinese border and the area south of where the Japanese Concession’s germ warfare troops were found.”
After Du Kaishan finished speaking, Tao Jingfei fell into deep contemplation. Du Kaishan's analysis suddenly gave Tao Jingfei a feeling of enlightenment. Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up the phone and called a group.
Starting from the area around Haiguang Temple's own headquarters, we started digging three feet deep into the Japanese Concession step by step.
