According to the prediction of the Japanese North China Front, once the Anti-Japanese Alliance attacks Tianjin, the Japanese Concession, which has important targets, will be the first choice of attack range. This secret command post leaves too many exits, which means it is exposed too late. Therefore,
After opening the passage at the bottom of the Qiangzi River, the Japanese army immediately blocked the secret entrance and exit of the East Asia Tobacco Company.
After the Battle of Tianjin started, Haiguang Temple became the target of the first wave of attacks by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. In order to conceal the secrets in Haiguang Temple, the Japanese army used remote control on the wall of the secret exit of Haiguang Temple before withdrawing from the front line of Haiguang Temple.
The artillery was destroyed, creating the illusion of being destroyed by war, so that the exit could be directly covered with piles of rubble.
At the same time, when the anti-alliance forces had reached Yamato Park and were close to controlling the entire Japanese Concession, Lieutenant General Dohashi Yongyi ordered the troops to blow up another exit in the Japanese Concession. If it were not for the fear of Qiangzi River water entering the channel, the Japanese Concession would have been destroyed.
He was also flooded. As well as exposing the location of the underground command post, I am afraid that Tuqiao Yongyi will detonate directly from the passage under the Qiangzi River.
As early as when the Japanese army built this secret command post, a large number of explosives were buried under all the passages to prevent accidents. Once the situation was unfavorable, everything inside the command post, together with a large number of other secrets hidden inside, could be directly destroyed.
Explode together.
However, the overall scale of this secret underground command post is not large, but it is well-equipped even though it is small. It not only has a complete ventilation system and water intake system, but also has hidden wire connections with the outside world. It also has its own gasoline.
Generators can maintain sufficient power supply even if the circuit to the outside world is cut off.
The reserves of food, ammunition and other materials can meet the needs of an infantry brigade for half a year. However, due to size constraints, it can only accommodate one infantry brigade at most, which is already the limit. Moreover, this underground secret command post is just a simple command post.
.Different from the Japanese fortresses in Northeast China, they only have defensive capabilities but no offensive capabilities.
At the same time, the confessions of these Japanese prisoners of war also confirmed another suspicion of Du Kaishan. During the entire Tianjin campaign, Tuqiao Yongyi's high-power radio station could only receive but not transmit, and all reports were sent to the Jinan Front Army's temporary station.
It was transmitted through the two fifteen-watt radio stations set up in the Austrian Concession using the low-power tactical radio station that followed him.
In order to avoid exposing his location, he installed multiple 15-watt radio stations in different locations throughout the city, and they were all numbered and used as relay and backup radio stations. This effectively prevented the Anti-League monitoring department from locking the radio
The location of his headquarters.
Combat command in the entire urban area of Tianjin is also carried out through the dozen or so brigade-level tactical radio stations in hand. In Dohashi Yugi's view, since the enemy has already reached the urban area, for battlefield command, these tactics are
The radio communication distance is already sufficient.
Whether his headquarters is in the First District Office or moved to this secret command post, there is no wired communication equipment set up for the outside world. Even if the Anti-Japanese War troops came to his headquarters, it would be difficult to find him through the phone line.
The location of his headquarters.
After the Anti-Japanese Alliance launched a sudden artillery attack on the Japanese fleet on the Haihe River and defeated the fleet on the Haihe River, Lieutenant General Dohashi Yuuichi, who was sitting at the headquarters, immediately felt that something was wrong. He took advantage of the short stalemate in the Anti-Japanese Concession attack on the Japanese Concession.
During the calm period, through the secret passage set up in the residential area of Gong No. 40, under the cover of the guard squadron, they moved to the secret command post set up in the southeast of Haiguang Temple.
In order to ensure the safety of his command post during street fighting, Lieutenant General Dohashi Yuuichi put in a lot of effort. However, it did make his opponent Tao Jingfei work hard to find him, and he barely dug three holes in the ground to find him.
During the entire battle for Tianjin, even at the last moment of the Tianjin battlefield, his command was never interrupted.
It was this guy's cunning that allowed him to escape countless arrests by the Anti-Japanese Forces. If it weren't for Du Kaishan, who also likes to take the wrong approach, passing by Tianjin to see his old comrades. In addition, this guy didn't want to use a high-power radio,
Attempts to contact Jinan with only Wuwa Radio have been unsuccessful, and the method of evacuation has not yet been decided.
And because Tao Jingfei's headquarters is set up in Haiguang Temple, the security around it is too tight. He never gave this guy a chance to slip out, and he might actually let him slip out. Because this secret command is located at the end of Qiangzi Henan
One exit is right next to the suburbs of Tianjin. Across the road, there is a vast world with a lot to offer.
Through the confessions obtained from interrogating these guys, Tao Jingfei not only figured out the mystery of the disappearance of the Japanese Supreme Command in Tianjin, but also found that he was in this underground command post and caught a lot of big fish in this net. In addition to being on the battlefield,
Almost all the remaining senior officials of the Japanese army in Tianjin who were killed or captured are here.
During this clearing operation, among the Japanese officers who were killed or captured were not only most of the officers of the 48th Division Headquarters, but also a large number of North China Front Army Headquarters. Even the Chinese dispatched troops and even the base camp garrison
Senior officials from various agencies in Tianjin.
When Okamura Neiji evacuated from Peiping to Tianjin, he divided the North China Front Army Headquarters into two. He took part of it to Jinan and stayed in Tianjin to assist Lieutenant General Dohashi Yuichi in defending Tianjin. Two major generals were killed.
Among them, one is Major General Nakanishi Sadaki, the current deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, and the other is Major General Miyazaki Monday, the director of the Japanese Army University.
As the head of the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters, this man was ordered by the base camp to accompany the regiment that landed in Tianjin and come to the Pingjin battlefield to assess the situation. Unexpectedly, he was trapped in Tianjin city and unable to return to the mainland. Together with the
The regiment he landed with in Tanggu was shattered in Tianjin.
The intelligence officers who participated in the interrogation were very sorry that this man was shot dead. The fourth director of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters was a rare core figure in the Japanese army base camp. If he could be caught alive, he would definitely be able to get something out of his mouth.
Less of a good thing.
It's just that the troops who went to suppress him had no way of showing mercy to him without knowing his true identity. In addition, this guy and Major General Nakanishi Sadaki were also extremely fierce. Facing the anti-alliance suppression troops
, actually hid in a secret room, pulled out a pistol and fired at the anti-alliance troops.
As a result, they were killed by a grenade. When the two men went to the West together, the suppression troops saw that the two men actually had the rank of major general, but it was too late to regret it. Compared to these two
He was a fierce guy, but it was much easier to capture Dobashi Yuuichi.
As soon as the suppression troops got out, they encountered Dohashi Yongyi, who was pacing back and forth in the passage with two guards, looking grim in the face of the predicament. The suppression troops with quick eyesight and quick hands struck first, and after killing the two guards behind him, they
Before the guy took out his pistol and shot himself in the head, he knocked him unconscious with the butt of the gun and tied him up.
There was no way, compared with the two major generals who were hiding in the secret room and resisting. Under the illumination of the lights in the passage, the rank of lieutenant general on the collar badge of this man was too obvious. So even though the soldier who struck was heavier, he could
The rifle butt hit Dohashi Yugi so hard that he almost suffered a concussion. He was unconscious for a long time, but he was captured alive after all.
As for the captured Japanese army colonel, his true identity can be said to have made people in the intelligence agency ecstatic. As the head of the Japanese secret service in Tianjin, although this guy is not as high in position as Yuuichi Dohashi, because of his special
His identity made the intelligence department pay more attention to him.
As long as you can pry open this guy's mouth, you can not only figure out the Japanese spy operations throughout North China, but also follow the clues to eliminate a considerable number of Japanese spies lurking in North China. For the intelligence department, this guy is a super treasure.
The remaining officers above the rank of colonel were not only from the 48th Division, but also from the North China Front Army and other Japanese military systems. There was also a lieutenant colonel who was the captain of the Japanese Tianjin Military Police. Among the army colonels who were killed, except for the 48th Division
Apart from the Chief of Staff, they are all very important figures.
Tao Jingfei has gained a lot from this network. However, after receiving Tao Jingfei's telegram, Yang Zhen, whose mind was attracted by the sudden change of the Shanxi war situation, did not pay too much attention. For Yang Zhen, Tianjin has already
Complete recovery, more than 30,000 defenders were wiped out.
Even if Dohashi Yiyong escapes, it won't be a big deal. The remnants of an elite division, two divisions, two mixed brigades, and the Japanese military police Xiante agency in Tianjin have all been annihilated. This is
The most important thing is that it has a real impact on the battle situation.
Compared with the successful conclusion of the Tianjin Campaign, the Jidong War Zone has also come to an end. The Northeast battlefield is in a stalemate, and there are many other fronts at two points. The current battle situation in Shanxi and East Henan makes Yang Zhen both happy and worried. Especially
The performance of the First Army on the Shanxi battlefield gave Yang Zhen a bad premonition.
On the battlefield in Shanxi, the Japanese army suddenly changed its original offensive tactics against the Eighteenth Group Army and abandoned all strongholds west of Yangquan on Zhengtai Road, north of Taiyuan, and in western Shanxi. They concentrated all the troops they could and ignored the surrounding Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.
He and the Jinsui Military Region troops tried their best to intercept and encircle them, and forced a retreat to Taiyuan.
Concentrate troops to avoid Taiyue along the Nantong-Pu Railway and Baijin Railway, and troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region will divide all troops into two groups and quickly retreat to southern Shanxi. As for those strongholds and counties that have been surrounded,
The defenders who were still resisting were directly abandoned by the First Army.
This time when the First Army reduced its forces north of Taiyuan and along Zhengtai Road, in order to achieve the greatest suddenness in launching the campaign, its actions were extremely covert. All fortifications and strongholds north of Taiyuan were not destroyed in any way. Those that could not be taken away were not destroyed.
The equipment was abandoned on the spot without any damage.
The troops retreating south were alternately covered from far to near according to their distance from Taiyuan, and were forced to evacuate to Taiyuan as quickly as possible. The Japanese troops in the north were even ordered to hold on to contain the 18th Army troops north of Taiyuan.
Create opportunities for the remaining friendly forces to evacuate safely.
This move of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi made the brother troops who mainly used tactics of squeezing and cutting off the connections between the various departments of the Japanese army in the Shanxi battlefield and annihilating the enemy on the move somewhat caught off guard. Especially in the direction of Shotai Road,
The focus was on the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region from Yangquan to Niangziguan, and there was no time to take action.
Although most of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and the main forces of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region fighting in the north of Taiyuan discovered the Japanese army's actions, they continued to adopt tactics of pursuit and interception, intercepting a considerable number of enemy troops and all puppet troops. However, because some
The hesitation and slow response of the cadres, as well as the Japanese army's extremely rare tactics of not caring about the intercepted troops and just burying their heads in running towards Taiyuan, still allowed most of the Japanese troops to run away.
