Fortunately, the battle in the passage did not last too long. Less than half an hour after going down, the guard platoon leader who went down to search returned to the ground with his troops and several Japanese prisoners. Only when he returned to the ground
, only half of his security platoon of more than thirty people was left.
The report from the guard platoon leader confirmed that Du Kaishan's original judgment was correct. The passage discovered in Haiguang Temple is connected with the previously discovered Japanese secret underground fortification group. In other words, this passage is connected with
The underground secret fortification group discovered before is an integrated emergency command center.
Perhaps the Japanese army still quite trusts the concealment created by them. There is no defensive force at the exit. But in depth, it is not as simple as this. After the guards lined up, only a few dozen people walked out along the direction of the passage.
Within a few meters, we encountered about a small group of Japanese soldiers.
This Japanese army was extremely well-equipped, but one small group of Japanese soldiers was only equipped with three light machine guns. The guard platoon that went down to clean up had to spend a lot of time to completely eliminate this small group. Although they were all equipped with
A submachine gun suitable for close combat, but due to the stubborn counterattack of the Japanese army and the melee at close range in the passage that was too straight, its own casualties were not light.
Soon after solving the Japanese security team, they joined up with the brother troops who came down from the other direction to search. At present, the brother troops are continuing to clean up the underground fortifications. Because they are worried about the safety of the headquarters, they return first with the prisoners transferred by the brother troops.
ground.
Regarding the guard platoon's report, Tao Jingfei frowned and didn't say much. He just looked at the Japanese prisoners who were tied up in front of him quite calmly. Then he waved to the intelligence department behind him and quickly took over two of them.
An officer. He wanted to find out the specific identities of these Japanese soldiers as soon as possible. As for the soldiers, they should be tied up first and sent to the current prisoner of war camp in Yangcun after they were thoroughly cleaned up.
The intelligence department acted very quickly. Through interrogating the prisoners, they quickly obtained first-hand information. These Japanese soldiers were exactly what Tao Jingfei had been looking for before, the personnel of the Tianjin Japanese Army Headquarters. Their previous headquarters was just like Du Kaishan
As expected, it was not set up in the concession area. Instead, it was set up outside the east gate of the old Tianjin County, which was quite inconspicuous, and inside the former First District Office of Tianjin Special City.
However, because these prisoners are all members of the 48th Division Regiment Security Squadron, there are no senior officers among them. Therefore, it is not clear when this secret underground command post was built or its true scale. They only
Knowing that there are currently not many defensive troops in this underground fortification, as well as the details of the places they passed and were responsible for defending along the way.
The most valuable confession is that before they were captured, Lieutenant General Dohashi Yongyi was still in this command post. Moreover, this secret command post has only two entrances and exits south of Qiangzi River. One is located in Haiguang
Temple, and the other one was set up in the place where the search personnel sent by Tao Jingfei had previously discovered.
Apart from these two entrances and exits, there are no other entrances and exits on the south bank of Qiangzi River. As for the depth of the Japanese Concession in Qiangzi River North, are there any other entrances and exits besides the place where they entered?
These people can understand and master it.
Because these points involve the issues that Tao Jingfei is most concerned about, the intelligence department asked them in detail. Among the prisoners of war, the captain with the highest rank explained in detail. Because in the underground passage, in addition to a large number of officers, the real guards were
There is only one squadron.
He is the squadron leader of this guard squadron, and he is responsible for and assigns all security tasks, so he is still very clear about it. However, because of his insufficient level, except for the officers of his own division, what is the secret command post currently?
He didn't know who it was.
It is precisely because this secret command post is not large in area and is only used as a wartime command organization. Therefore, before entering this secret command post, Lieutenant General Dohashi Yugi did not mobilize other troops to enter this secret command post.
He only brought a squadron of personal guards.
Moreover, in this secret command post, except for a few guards, there were no other defensive forces. At the same time, in this underground secret command post, among all the Japanese troops participating in the battle in Tianjin, except for Dohashi Yuhi and a few people
Besides, not even the commanders of the 110th Division and the 59th Division knew there was such a secret hiding place in Tianjin City.
Although there were not many valuable things in the confessions of these few people, these confessions allowed Tao Jingfei to be certain of two things. One was that the secret command post, with its two exits on the south bank of the Qiangzi River, had all been discovered. The other was that the secret command post had been discovered.
The key thing is that Doqiao Yongyi and his headquarters are still in this secret headquarters and have not escaped. After confirming these two points, Tao Jingfei breathed a sigh of relief.
The troops who came from the other direction to clear up the troops did not let Tao Jingfei wait too long. However, except for a small squadron that was eliminated by his own guard platoon, the remaining Japanese troops in a squadron were limited. Therefore, the clearing up operation went very quickly.
, although there are still some troops below, who are conducting careful searches along the passage to the north of the secret command post to avoid any fish slipping through the net. However, Tao Jingfei did not have to wait too long for the main battle.
Just as Tao Jingfei read the interrogation records, the troops who had completed the clearing of most of the secret underground command post of the Japanese army returned directly from the secret exit of Haiguang Temple. At the same time, they brought back a Japanese lieutenant general who had been knocked unconscious, and a tied up
Like a rice dumpling, the body of a Japanese army colonel, two major generals, three colonels, as well as the corpses and prisoners of more than a dozen officers above the major rank were included.
Seeing the Japanese army lieutenant general who was knocked unconscious and captured, a seal with Yuichi Dohashi's name seized from him, a large number of documents seized from the underground fortifications, and the guard who had no longer human form
The captain's confirmation made Tao Jingfei's mental calculations completely relax.
For Tao Jingfei, the battle in Tianjin will be a successful conclusion if he catches this cunning guy. This man has been with him on the battlefield for a long time and has repeatedly escaped the Japanese 48th Division who was dug three feet into the ground by his own troops.
The head of the regiment, the so-called commander of the Tianjin garrison, finally met today and settled his worries.
But at this time, Tao Jingfei showed his calmness. Tao Jingfei, who was a little worried about the identity of this cunning guy, did not immediately report the results of the raid. Instead, he arranged for personnel to quickly interrogate and screen the prisoners. He wanted to finalize
Only the identity of everyone can be reported to No. 1.
The subject of the interrogation was different this time. Compared with the previous interrogation of the 48th Division guard squadron captain, it took significantly longer. Although Yuuichi Dohashi was captured, he still had a very tough mouth. In addition,
Given this guy's status as a lieutenant general, the intelligence department still showed some mercy. It's not always easy to explain to a dignified lieutenant general's division commander if he does too much misfortune.
However, for several other officers below the rank of colonel, including the colonel, the intelligence department had nothing to be taboo about. After taking certain measures, these Japanese soldiers who considered themselves samurai poured beans through bamboo tubes. What can they say?
What happened, allowed Tao Jingfei to master the entire previous deployment of the Japanese army in Tianjin, as well as the detailed information of this underground hideout.
This underground fortification group was built at the same time as the Japanese barracks at Haiguang Temple and the Chinese garrison headquarters after the Japanese established a concession and garrisoned troops in Tianjin after the Gengzi Incident. As the Japanese troops in Tianjin, they invaded China
A high-level hidden command post set up in the North China bridgehead.
It is divided into two parts, north and south. The core is the underground fortification group discovered south of Qiangzi River. However, it does not only have two exits in Qiangzi Henan. It is located in the Gong No. 40 residential area in the core of the Japanese Concession in Qiangzi Hebei.
, and there is a rather secret exit. In other words, this secret passage leads directly to the core of the Japanese Concession.
Moreover, the residential area of No. 40 Palace is not an ordinary Japanese residence. It is a secret spy agency set up by the Japanese military base camp in Tianjin. The so-called spy agency set up on Fukushima Street is used as a
An open guise to attract the attention of relevant parties in China in order to protect its true core.
The Japanese are still very taboo about Chongqing's former Blue Clothes Club, Central Unification, and later Military Unification, as well as all aspects of spy forces. The core of the Japanese spy agency in Tianjin is in this inconspicuous Japanese-style villa. Even in
After the July 7th Incident, the Japanese army occupied the entire city of Tianjin, but this secret stronghold still did not give up.
Not to mention that the Chinese don’t know the true purpose of this inconspicuous Japanese-style building. Even the Japanese spies who have infiltrated Tianjin, all the Japanese expatriates, and even the hard-core traitors attracted by them don’t know. People only know
The Japanese Tianjin secret service on Fukushima Street and the Japanese Tianjin Military Police are two evil entities.
No one knows that, except for the Peking secret service, this inconspicuous Japanese-style building planned almost all the Japanese spy infiltration operations in North China before the July 7th Incident. Its earliest operations and existence even extended to Geng
After the Japanese Incident, the Japanese Concession was officially opened.
Behind every incident involving the Japanese in North China, as well as all incidents of one kind or another, there is the shadow of this Japanese-style building. It has repeatedly destroyed China's internal affairs, recruited traitors to serve the Japanese army, and even caused some shocks at home and abroad.
The secret service operations of the incident were all initiated from this Japanese-style building.
It is precisely this place that has always been a secret existence and the special role of this building. In order to facilitate the rapid evacuation of the spy chiefs here and a large amount of secret information when necessary, the Japanese opened another exit of this underground fortification group.
, set here.
However, it turns out that the underground passage connecting the north and south banks of Qiangzi River was too complicated and difficult to construct, and the cost was too huge, so it has never been opened. This secret underground passage is the best choice for the entrance and exit of Qiangzi Hebei.
Inside the East Asia Tobacco Company in the Japanese Concession.
By the time the Anti-Japanese Alliance had occupied the entire Rehe, and the forwards had entered Jidong, the situation on the Tianjin front line was already aggressive. In order to ensure that Tianjin would have what it needed to fight when necessary, under the personal supervision of General Okamura Neiji, we started from the experienced hole-drilling team.
The Kwantung Army's City Construction Engineering Department mobilized several engineers. At the same time, they mobilized four independent engineering squadrons directly under the North China Front Army. They worked at all costs for nearly a year before it was finally completed.
After opening the passage at the bottom of the Qiangzi River, in order to ensure that this secret core fortification is not discovered by the enemy as much as possible, the exit set up in the East Asia Tobacco Company will be completely blocked. On the north bank of the Qiangzi River,
According to Dohashi Yuuichi's order, only one secret exit was reserved. And at this only exit, a large amount of explosives were prepared.
