Tao Jingfei's words made Du Kaishan fall silent again. Facing Du Kaishan, who was silent and seemed thoughtful, Tao Jingfei said nothing more. As an old partner and comrade-in-arms, Tao Jingfei had said enough. The two of them sat down with Tao Jingfei.
Next to the stove in the headquarters, I drank sips of wine.
However, Tao Jingfei was a political cadre after all. Although he violated the order and asked his old partner to drink some wine when entertaining Du Kaishan, it was only a small taste at most. After each person drank two bottles of beer, Tao Jingfei
He didn't put away the wine glass.
Tao Jingfei stopped drinking, and Du Kaishan also put down his glass. The two finished their meal in silence, and then Du Kaishan spoke again: "Old Tao, thank you for these bitter medicines. What you said today,
I have listened to it and remembered it all. Don’t worry, I will never make similar mistakes again. Let’s see the consequences.”
Tao Jingfei did not answer Du Kaishan's words immediately. Instead, he looked at Du Kaishan's eyes quietly, and after a long time he nodded and said: "The medicine is bitter, maybe it can cure diseases, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not."
Food. Some words are like medicine, even though they sound unpleasant, they can cure your heart ailments."
"Some things are easy to say but difficult to do. You, Lao Du, have never been afraid of anyone on the battlefield and have never been defeated. I think in this matter, you will not be defeated. Even if you retreat,
To put it bluntly, No. 1 has done so much for us, what have we, the subordinates, done for No. 1?"
"In addition to doing our best to fight every battle on the battlefield, in other aspects, it is better to let No. 1 have less to worry about, which is the greatest help to No. 1. Especially you, Lao Du, you are now one of your batch of Japanese soldiers
The germ warfare unit broke out, and now he has the highest position among the few people left."
"Listen to my brother, mature as soon as possible. Don't let No. 1 worry about you anymore on these chores. No. 1 has not had an easy life these years. He is younger than us, but he has more burdens than us.
Everyone is important. We can't help him much in decision-making, but on other issues, we can still reduce his burden as much as possible."
Du Kaishan obviously listened to his old partner's sincere words. Although he did not express his position again, he nodded firmly. Seeing Du Kaishan nod, Tao Jingfei smiled on his face. He knew that Du Kaishan this time,
That's the real connection.
Just when Tao Jingfei wanted to say something else, the security staff responsible for searching the headquarters of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army came in to report. Not far from Haiguang Temple in a straight line, at the junction of the Japanese Concession and the Huajie in the southeast direction, the Tianli Sect is next to the Qiangzi River.
In the Japanese-inhabited area southeast of the mission hall, an extremely hidden underground fortification group was discovered.
On the entire ground, there are only a few well-camouflaged ventilation passages using houses and a few extremely concealed cross-fire points. There are no fortifications. The search force in that direction is solving several hidden fire points on the periphery.
Afterwards, a group of reconnaissance troops were organized to conduct searches.
After hearing the report, Tao Jingfei and Du Kaishan looked at each other, took a few steps to the map and looked at it, and couldn't help being slightly surprised. Not only was it only one kilometer away from their headquarters, but also because of geographical reasons, whether it was
The attack routes of the troops attacking the Japanese Concession or the adjacent French Concession inadvertently avoided this place.
Because there are no important targets in this area at all. And after clearing out the enemy defenders at Haiguang Temple, there are no longer any Japanese troops here. Sure enough, no matter how the troops searched in the urban area, they could not find the 48th Division Headquarters. It turned out that this
There is an extremely cunning little devil hiding under his nose.
After finding this hidden spot on the map for the first time, even though Tao Jingfei was calm, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. There must be guard troops around this Japanese headquarters. A few days ago, No. 1 was in his headquarters.
Well, if at that time, these little devils sneaked out and touched him, the consequences would be serious.
Thinking of this, Tao Jingfei told the guard staff without the slightest hesitation. Regardless of whether this is the headquarters of the Japanese army or not, the remaining Japanese enemies here must be completely and completely eliminated in the shortest possible time. No trace of them will be left to the people of Tianjin.
Hidden danger.
After Tao Jingfei's order was given, just as the guard staff turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by Du Kaishan: "You are moving an engineering battalion up. You must find out whether there are other directions for this Japanese underground hidden fortification group."
The exit. This place is so close to Haiguang Temple. It was definitely not transferred here from the beginning. It should have been transferred from other directions after certain changes occurred in the battle situation."
"The Qiangzi River is neither wide nor large in water volume. Across the river is the core area of the Japanese Concession. It is not difficult for the Japanese army to build an underground passage here. You can mobilize an engineering battalion to go up. Don't use shovels and pickaxes, just use explosives.
Explode the surrounding underground fortifications. We must find out the direction of this underground passage in the shortest possible time."
"Don't let them run away if you have already caught the shadow. Once they slip out, how long will it take for us to catch these devils in such a large urban area of Tianjin? This is the outskirts of urban Tianjin. Use some
Explosives don't matter. If these little devils escape again, it will be a serious problem for us. A two-pronged approach, everything is focused on speeding up."
Regarding Du Kaishan's offside remarks, Tao Jingfei did not hesitate at all and immediately asked his security staff to do what he said. After the security staff left, Tao Jingfei turned to Du Kaishan and said: "If you, Lao Du, hadn't come here today, I would have been damned
I never expected that the Japanese battlefield headquarters in Tianjin that I have been searching for would be hidden right under my nose."
"No wonder I even tried to lift up the entire Tianjin land but still couldn't find them. It's really dark under the lamp. This Tuqiao Yongyi is so damn cunning. To the south is the suburb of Tianjin. If we continue
If it's later, they might really slip away."
In response to Tao Jingfei's emotion, Du Kaishan waved his hand and said: "Old Tao, I think you should search this headquarters carefully. Haiguang Temple is a fortress that the Japanese army has worked hard for many years. Before the July 7th Incident, it had always been
The location of the headquarters of the Chinese Garrison in Japan."
"Such an important place, and so close to the place where the Japanese underground secret fortifications were discovered. I think it's possible that you have a passage connecting there. There are too many things left by the Japanese army in your headquarters.
It’s also too complete, and I feel it’s somewhat abnormal.”
"According to the general idea, this should be a key target for the Japanese army. It would be polite not to destroy the walls for a day. But I took a look inside Haiguang Temple, and basically there was not much damage.
, even the furniture inside has not been moved significantly."
"On my way here, I saw that important peripheral villages and towns such as Junliangcheng and Yangliuqing were all reduced to the ground. This shows that the Japanese army was still fiercely contesting on the periphery of Tianjin. However, although the location of Haiguang Temple is relatively small,
It’s considered an urban area in Tianjin, but it’s in the suburbs of Tianjin.”
"This line is the south gate of the Japanese Concession in Tianjin. Crossing Haiguang Temple is equivalent to breaking into the Japanese Concession. Moreover, Haiguang Temple is not only important in geographical location, but also of great historical and political significance. Although Haiguang Temple is no longer the Japanese-Chinese Consulate
It is the military headquarters, but it is also the largest and most complete barracks of the Japanese army in Tianjin."
"For the Japanese army, the loss of Haiguang Temple not only meant the opening of the entire Japanese Concession, but also symbolized the end of the Japanese army's decades of garrison history in Tianjin. Judging from the overall difficult situation you fought in Tianjin, Haiguang Temple is
It should be a key target for the Japanese army. But look at it, it is almost completely preserved, which shows that there was no fierce battle here."
"Old Tao, I don't know whether you think this situation is normal or not, but if you ask me, it is definitely abnormal for such an important target to be so complete. Maybe the Japanese army in Tianjin is covering up something. So.
, I suggest you conduct a thorough search of your headquarters. Check it carefully from inside to outside, and you might make unexpected discoveries."
"If the underground fortification had not been discovered, I would not have suspected this. But the secret underground fortification discovered by the Japanese army is a bit too close to Haiguang Temple. When I think of the importance of Haiguang Temple to the Japanese Concession, I realized that before the July 7th Incident, there were many people in North China.
With its prominent position among the Japanese army and the purpose of the Japanese army before this battle, I can't help but suspect that the Japanese army is deliberately concealing something."
"Besides, it's time for your headquarters to be relocated. To deal with the Tianjin urban battlefield alone, your headquarters may be in a good position. But for the time being in Tianjin and Jidong turning to a defensive posture and preparing for anti-landing operations, you
This location is a little bit in a corner.”
Regarding Du Kaishan's suggestion of moving, Tao Jingfei has not yet considered that step. However, Du Kaishan asked him to search the Haiguang Temple carefully, but Tao Jingfei listened. After Du Kaishan's words fell, Tao Jingfei immediately acted without hesitation.
They sent people to search the inside and outside of Haiguang Temple carefully.
During the search, Tao Jingfei asked the security personnel to knock on every inch of land and every wall in Haiguang Temple. Every large and obstructive object must be moved away. The floor of every building must be carefully checked.
Or is there a secret exit hidden in the wall? At the same time, for some ancillary buildings such as the boiler room that were destroyed during the fight, the rubble must be cleared out and every corner must be carefully searched.
The results of the search surprised Tao Jingfei again. In the boiler room of the Japanese military camp in Haiguang Temple, under a pile of rubble in an extremely inconspicuous corner, an extremely hidden secret tunnel entrance was discovered. There was a tunnel inside the entrance.
Under the illumination of several wall lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, a faint passage leads to the southeast.
The wall lamp inside is still on, which means there must be something inside and it is still running. Otherwise, when the entire Tianjin city is already in his hands, there is no reason for such a wall lamp on the wall of the underground passage to be
It's still on. It means that this underground passage has its own power generation and power supply system.
After discovering this secret passage, Tao Jingfei immediately mobilized a platoon of guards around him, all of whom were equipped with submachine guns. After each person also brought a pistol, he put on a flashlight and immediately went down to search. It didn't take long for the guard platoon to be down.
, intensive gunshots and explosions came from the passage.
Not long after he heard the intensive gunshots coming from the tunnel after his own guard line went down, Tao Jingfei, whose face was ashen, looked at the headquarters security staff standing next to him without saying a word. The man who knew the front guard work did not notice this hidden secret.
At the entrance of the tunnel, the guard staff officer, who was considered to have neglected his duty, faced the livid-faced leader, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
