Tao Jingfei used the speed and impact of tanks and motorized infantry, as well as the latest information on the deployment and location of the Japanese and puppet troops provided by the Intelligence Department, to control Harbin, the largest city in Northern Manchuria, in just a few hours.
In most areas of the modern city. ['. It was not only the Japanese and puppet troops who felt overwhelmed, but also the local people.
When ordinary people spent the middle of the night in fear at the sudden sound of gunfire, when they walked out of their homes early the next morning, they found that the Puppet Manchukuo military police and military police who used to roam the streets were gone, replaced by chest badges that read Northeastern Anti-Japanese War
When I saw the coalition troops, I couldn't help but be shocked.
It was the first time for most of the people to come into contact with these vicious and vicious bandits, which the Japanese and puppet newspapers called the biggest security risk in Manchukuo. They were frightened and wondered whether these soldiers would be as brutal as the bandits as advertised by the Japanese and puppet newspapers.
At the same time, I couldn't help but become extremely curious about the anti-alliance troops entering the city.
Before Yang Zhen's raid on Harbin, after Guo Bingxun came up with a detour plan, Yang Zhen did not issue any different suggestions. However, Yang Zhen specifically emphasized discipline and even had people write rules for entering the city. In addition to repeatedly emphasizing the three major
Discipline, the Eight Points of Attention, and one sentence repeatedly emphasized, that is, do not demolish the house to death from the cold, and do not take prisoners to death from starvation.
Regarding the rules for entering the city, Yang Zhen repeatedly emphasized that no matter what the reason or purpose, as long as you enter non-military places, except for Japanese and puppet offices and the homes of puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel, as long as people's livelihood is involved, you will be severely punished. As for power plants,
, important facilities such as water plants, except for necessary security forces, are not allowed to enter at will.
Except for cooperating with a battalion of the Ministry of Social Affairs that followed the rapid detachment and entered Harbin in advance to meet the needs of suppressing counter-revolutionaries and arresting senior members of the Japanese and puppet troops, no troops are allowed to enter ordinary people's homes without permission, especially schools and hospitals.
It is even more strict for troops to enter such places, and they are not allowed to get anything in these two places.
In addition to not being allowed to enter places that involve people's daily lives, Yang Zhen also repeatedly asked the troops to strictly abide by discipline. Borrowing things must be borrowed and returned. Things that need to be purchased temporarily must be paid in cash according to the market price. Cash on hand
If there is insufficient money, the IOU must be signed by two military and political officers. When the Military Region Logistics Department and the Political Department arrive, they will be repaid according to the IOU.
Moreover, Yang Zhen also asked the troops not to occupy a private house or school after occupying Harbin, even if it is used as a temporary barracks. Before the Japanese and puppet army barracks were captured, the troops were not allowed to occupy a house even if they were sleeping on the streets.
Places for common people, including residences, schools, and hospitals, are included here.
As early as when Guo Bingxun arrived in Tonghe to form the forward command, Yang Zhen sent an urgent telegram to Guo Bingxun, Tao Jingfei and all the commanders of the fourth column titled "Strengthen discipline and the revolution will be invincible". He required the troops to be able to both
It can withstand the test of fire on the battlefield, and it can also withstand the test of sugar-coated bullets in the feasting and feasting of big cities.
We must also promote the image of our army as a mighty and civilized army to the people who have been deceived by the Japanese and puppet newspapers for a long time. We must not treat the battlefield as a field army, and off the battlefield, we should treat the people as a field army. In order to strengthen the discipline after entering the city
, Yang Zhen also specifically requested political cadres at all levels to strengthen the performance of their duties and communicate all the requirements of the headquarters. Those who violate disciplines, no matter how high their level, must be dealt with seriously.
Since this unit has formulated and implemented iron-clad disciplines from the day it was born, these almost unkind disciplinary requirements for Yang Zhen were quickly implemented. All troops entering the urban area of Harbin
, none of them violated the order.
With no barracks to be found in a short period of time, all troops without combat missions temporarily. Except for the wounded and field hospitals who entered the houses of the Puppet Manchukuo government agencies, the rest of the people were sleeping on the streets no matter how high they were. No one was there.
Enter a residential house to rest.
According to Yang Zhen's order, after the advance detachment led by Tao Jingfei entered Harbin, most of the barracks of the puppet Manchukuo military and police were still in fierce fighting. Except for the front-line troops who directly fought with the Japanese and puppet troops and those who continued to go south to seize the twin cities.
Apart from the troops, most of the remaining fighting troops in the city could only rest temporarily on the sidewalks of the streets to recuperate.
To be honest, the four columns commanded by Tao Jingfei were exhausted after many days of fighting. Especially the fourth column, as the last unit to be concentrated, rushed to the starting point at a forced march speed without having time to rest after assembly. At the beginning of the roundabout operation
Finally, many cadres and soldiers had not slept for several days. After receiving the order to rest, these exhausted troops did not even bother to find a shelter from the wind. They just randomly found a place to set up sentries and then turned around.
sleep.
These soldiers who had been fighting continuously for a long time were already extremely tired. After receiving the order to take a short rest, despite being extremely tired, in the face of strict discipline, no one violated the order. They just put on their raincoats or backpacks.
After opening, find a slightly spacious place on the side of the main road to rest.
When the frightened citizens of Harbin walked out of their houses early the next morning after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, they found that anti-Union soldiers were sleeping at their door. These soldiers had set out for a long-distance attack the night before yesterday, but they had not been able to get anything.
The resting soldiers either rested their helmets on their heads or leaned against the wall and slept soundly.
What surprised these citizens who had never been in contact with the Anti-Japanese Alliance was that after the soldiers who had not chosen a resting place and chose a camping location outside someone else's door were awakened by the sound of the door opening, they did not look like the Northeast they had seen before.
The Japanese army, the puppet Manchukuo army and the Japanese army were furious, but they kept apologizing for the inconvenience caused to the residents.
These ordinary city residents, who had never been in contact with the Anti-Japanese Alliance and had seen such an army for the first time, were even a little overwhelmed by the politeness of the soldiers in front of them. What made them even more stunned was that the soldiers did nothing but ask for help from them.
Apart from some water, I didn't ask for anything from them.
Not only did these soldiers not ask for anything, even when they asked residents for water and coal, they had to pay according to the market price. They had never seen such polite soldiers before, and the breakfasts they brought over on their own initiative were politely ignored.
I declined. No matter what I said, no one accepted it.
After these residents who were soldiers were woken up, they set up simple stoves on the street corners where they would not interfere with people's movement. After begging for some water from people's homes to boil, everyone took out a pot wrapped in oil paper.
Open the small bag and take out a strange, crooked piece of bread and put it into the military lunch box you carry with you.
Then they opened several small bags inside the wrapping paper, poured out the strange powder inside and poured it into the water. Finally, either two people opened a box of cans they brought with them, or one person took out a small but strange-tasting sausage.
Cut it and add it inside, add boiling water and close the lid of the lunch box. In less than two minutes, the flour cake in the lunch box turned into a box of noodles. Seeing that the flour cake in the lunch box turned into noodles, I took out a biscuit from my body and ate it.
Start eating the noodles.
Seeing the noodles thrown into the lunch box filled with boiling water, it turned into a lunch box of fragrant noodles in a short time. The common people who had never seen such a thing couldn't help but be a little curious. For a while, everyone eating breakfast
The company was surrounded by a large group of curious civilians who thought these soldiers knew magic.
Because there were so many people watching, it even affected the troops' breakfast. After asking Guo Bingxun, who was taking the train to Harbin, Tao Jingfei instructed the troops to extract a batch of cans from the supplies they carried, especially the ones that the people were most curious about.
Noodles were exchanged with the local people for a small amount of meat, eggs, and milk to supplement the nutrition of the wounded. After all, the troops could not always eat these things, and real hot meals were more popular.
Although a large city like Harbin can supply the food needed by the rapid detachment to more than 10,000 officers and soldiers without affecting the needs of ordinary citizens, there will be no problem at least in a short period of time. Moreover, Tao Jingfei entered Harbin city
Later, they also seized several large grain warehouses in Harbin.
However, Guo Bingxun ordered that in order not to cause an increase in the prices of grain and other necessary materials for residents in Harbin, all troops entering Harbin in advance were not allowed to purchase grain and various foods in the market, except for necessary coal. The required supplies,
First use the field food carried by the troops themselves.
As for the grain warehouses, they must be sealed and cannot be used. Because in Guo Bingxun's view, it has not yet reached the most difficult time, let alone the most critical time. The occupation of Harbin is only the first step in the second phase of the operation, and the next step is inevitable.
Faced with a crazy counterattack by the Japanese army.
If the Japanese army does not counterattack, they will stop. Once they do, they will use all means to block the perimeter of Harbin to cut off the ammunition and food supplies for the troops in the city. Due to the importance of Harbin, the Kwantung Army must use all means to retake it. Cutting off the supplies in the city will be a disastrous outcome for the Japanese army.
Very willing to adopt tactics.
As for the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in the city, there was basically nothing taboo for the Japanese army. Judging from the Japanese army's usual behavior, they would not care even if all the hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in the city starved to death.
And when the back roads have not yet been fully opened, it is unrealistic to evacuate all the hundreds of thousands of people in the city to the rear in a short period of time.
Once the Japanese army launches a crazy counterattack, external supplies may not arrive on time. These stored grains and the stored grains in the hands of residents have become the basis for the survival of the defenders and the people in the city. Therefore, Guo Bingxun repeatedly asked Tao Jingfei to strictly seal and protect them.
These grains must not be used without further orders.
However, since the wounded needed nutrition and the citizens were extremely curious about the field food used by the troops, Guo Bingxun finally approved that Tao Jingfei could use part of the food he carried to exchange some nutritional products such as meat, eggs and vegetables with the citizens.
However, it is repeatedly emphasized that large amounts of exchange are not allowed to avoid affecting the lives of citizens. Moreover, unauthorized exchange is not allowed, and only some things can be exchanged in a unified organization.
When these citizens went home happily with the army field food exchanged for half a catty of eggs, two bottles of milk, or even a few catties of cucumbers, Tao Jingfei, who had obviously suffered a lot in the exchange, could only scratch his head and smile bitterly. He said this in his heart
It's okay to eat something cold once. It would be strange if you don't get heartburn if you eat this thing all day long.
