It only took 3 minutes for our army to break through the civil rights gate! This miracle was created by the old Red Army Niu Liangzi and his comrades! In the subsequent telegram sent by Liu Yimin to congratulate the Third Corps on the liberation of Tianjin, Liu Yimin wrote with great joy:
"Break the city in 3 minutes! What an amazing achievement! This time fully proves the tactical level of our army and makes all enemies frightened! I am proud of having such a strong army, and of having such courage to move forward and overwhelm all enemies."
Proud of my comrades!"
The 21st Regiment of the 7th Division took the lead in breaking into the Minquan Gate. The 2nd Armored Brigade and the 7th Division concentrated their firepower and crushed the counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops. Our army immediately divided its forces and deployed in Tianjin City. The 21st Regiment led by Niu Liangzi followed closely
A battery of tanks headed towards Jintang Bridge in the center of Tianjin.
Almost at the same time, the 23rd Division of the Eighth Army came ashore at the Haihe River and the Grand Canal Pier, and the target of the attack was also the Jintang Bridge in the city center.
By this time, the Japanese Tianjin garrison commander and commander of the Tianjin defense Major General Arisu Seizan had lost all the bushido spirit he had just summoned. He no longer dared to say anything, and hurriedly sent a report to Okamura Neiji to report that the Tianjin city defense had been destroyed.
Break through and request permission for the defenders to retreat.
General Okamura Neiji knew well that if the Tianjin city defense was breached, the defenders would die if they did not retreat, and they would die if they retreated. He just wanted to see which method could make them die slower and slow down the speed of Liu Yimin's army moving south.
That's it. Therefore, Okamura Neiji no longer insisted on letting Yumo Seizan lead his troops to defend. He called back and agreed to retreat to Cangzhou, bringing more explosives, destroying bridges, railways, and highways along the way to block the delayed attack of Liu Yimin's troops.
Okamura Neiji's order finally freed Major General Arisu Seiki. The old Japanese soldier didn't waste any time and immediately ordered a retreat and fled in panic.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Third Corps swarmed in. It would be strange if Mo Jingsan could escape. This old devil didn't even walk three kilometers out of Tianjin City before he was surrounded by our troops. He behaved obediently
Made a prisoner.
Cai Zhong, director of the political department of Higashino, the newly appointed secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and mayor, immediately entered the city. He called the whole country and took office as the mayor of Tianjin. This time there is no word "acting" in front of him. Cai Zhong has actually taken office. Fortunately, the work in Tianjin is better than that in Peking.
The foundation was much better. Yao Yilin, the newly appointed deputy mayor of Tianjin, was originally the secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and had been working underground in Tianjin for a long time. Our army had once invaded Tianjin and had a good mass foundation, so the work was carried out much more smoothly.
As soon as the whole country was energized and sworn in, Cai Zhong issued a second telegram for the liberation of Tianjin, announcing the recovery of the Tianjin Concession, the confiscation of all property of the Japanese puppets, the confiscation of all property of the French Vichy government in Tianjin, and the confiscation of all property of the Italian fascists in Tianjin.
Foreign industrial and commercial persons are welcome to invest, do business and set up enterprises in Tianjin. The prerequisite is that they must abide by Chinese laws and promote equality and mutual benefit.
Currently, there are only four concessions in Tianjin: Britain, France, Italy and Japan. Last time our army invaded Tianjin, they announced the abolition of the Japanese concessions, but left the remaining three concessions untouched. This time, our army has completely liberated Tianjin. It is imperative to take back the concessions.
.Including the British Concession. Although the Japanese army entered the British Concession and took control of the British Concession due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, it did not announce the abolition of the British Concession. It was just that in order to cover up shame, Japan announced that the Japanese Concession would be returned to the Wang Puppet Government.
The UK is now an important member of the anti-fascist front. However, the recovery of the British Concession cannot be delayed for this reason. Our military's policy towards the British Concession personnel is to rescue and treat those in the British Concession. They are welcome to stay in Tianjin to start a business and develop until the war is over and transportation is opened.
, they can stay and go as they please. As for their property, the Japanese army has already confiscated it and used it for the war of aggression against China and the Pacific War. Our army cannot return it to them and can only provide living aid.
In one day, two famous cities, Peiping and Tianjin, were liberated. One can imagine the morale of the soldiers of Higashikata!
After capturing Tianjin, Li Qing, commander of the Third Corps, immediately ordered Zhao Jie, political commissar of the Eighth Army, to lead a division to sweep through Tianjin's peripheral enemies and the Japanese and puppet regime, and to act as Zhao Shan's Tianjin garrison commander. He, Zhao Shan, and Xu Shiyou mobilized the main force overnight.
They pursued southward and targeted Cangzhou and Dezhou.
Almost at the same time as Tianjin was liberated, Gao Yuan commanded the First Corps, sweeping through Zhuozhou, Dingxing, and Xushui like a wind and a lingering cloud, and went straight to Baoding, the capital of Hebei Province. The Japanese 35th Division's city defenders and the Baoding puppet troops were captured.
Total annihilation. The remaining troops of the 35th Division stationed themselves between Baoding and Zhengding, setting up positions in an attempt to block our army.
After capturing Tianjin and Peiping, Higashiye's advance became faster. The railways, roads, and canals from Peiping to Tianjin, and from Peiping to Baoding were all unblocked. The trains that the Japanese army had taken away from Peiping and Tianjin all started moving. The Grand Canal
The ships on board also started to move, and our military vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, and rubber-tired carts on the highway were flowing southward like wooden cows and flowing horses.
In just two days from the time when Dongye left Shanhaiguan to the liberation of Pingjin, the Pingjin area, the core area of Japanese rule in North China, fell into the hands of our army. The speed of the action and the fruitful results can be called a miracle in military history. This result was based on
Dongye's victory from the 7th Red Army to the Instructor, to the Shandong Military Region, to the Northeastern Democratic Alliance Army and then to the Northeastern Field Army was based on Lien Chan and Lianjie's victory. It did not begin with the capture of Taiyuan by annihilating the 21st Brigade of the Japanese 5th Division.
In the series of victories over the occupation of Tianjin, the capture of Qingdao, Jinan, Shanghai, and the liberation of Northeast China, there would not have been so many cars, motorcycles, rubber-tired carts, and ships to transport troops. If it were purely infantry like other units of our army,
The march, even if it has a pair of scuds, is like marching 200 miles a day and night during the Long March. Now the Dongye troops cannot reach the gates of Peking City, let alone capture Peking, Tianjin, and Baoding.
To put it bluntly, Higashino's speed is based on train wheels, car wheels, rubber-tired carts and ships. To a certain extent, it is based on the vehicle equipment of the Japanese Army in North China, the Japanese Army in Central China, and the Kwantung Army.
It was built on the economic foundation of the Puppet Manchukuo. It was the equipment of the Japanese army that armed the powerful Dongye! Up to now, among the 12 main forces of Dongye, except for the First Army, which has long been mechanized, the other armies are being reorganized into Dongye.
, all have their own car regiments, and they can use cars to transport troops quickly, but the number of vehicles in each car regiment is different.
The liberation of Peking and Tianjin shocked the whole country, and all kinds of congratulatory messages flew to Xi'an, Peiping, and Tianjin like snowflakes.
After Liu Yimin held the press conference, he did not go south immediately. Instead, he met in Peiping with Major General Bao Ruide, the leader of the US military liaison team who came with the army.
The situation was great, and Liu Yimin was in a very good mood. When he saw Major General Bao Ruide, he gave him a warm hug. But this time, Liu Yimin hugged the translator Claire Bao Ruide brought. The blonde beauty was wearing a summer military uniform and was snow-white.
With his arms and chest surging, Liu Yimin was afraid that he would make a fool of himself again, so he just shook hands with Claire and quickly got down to business.
Liu Yimin first introduced the current anti-Japanese situation in North China to Colonel Bao Ruide. He said that since our main force in Dongye entered the pass, various units of the North China Eighth Route Army launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops. At present, the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia and those under their command
The puppet Mongolian army has been divided and surrounded by our East Wild Cavalry Group, the Fourth Corps, the main force of the Eighth Route Army's Jinsui Military Region, and the National Army's Fu Zuoyi Division, and will be destroyed in a short time. The Japanese First Army in Shanxi began to shrink urgently last night.
As of this afternoon, our army in Shanxi has recaptured 20 county towns. Although the Japanese Twelfth Army in Shandong struggled desperately, there was no sign of shrinking. That was because Okamura Ningji dreamed of integrating the First Army on the Jizhong Plain.
The troops directly under the North China Front Army withdrew to Shandong, relying on the power of the Japanese Navy to hold on for a long time in an attempt to make a comeback. However, this was all in vain. The North China Eighth Route Army was extremely powerful. After receiving sufficient ammunition supplies from the Northeast, its combat effectiveness was greatly improved. From now on
, it can be declared that the Japanese army has completely failed on the battlefield of invasion of China. Next, it is just a matter of calculating the time until their complete destruction.
Claire, who served as the translator, had a pair of big blue eyes. Listening to Liu Yimin's confident words, she carefully translated for Major General Bao Ruide, for fear of missing a word.
After Liu Yimin finished talking about the situation on the anti-Japanese battlefield in North China, he then said: "Now, the Japanese army has occupied Southeast Asia and temporarily has an advantage in the Pacific battlefield. However, I estimate that the US military is brewing a counterattack and may soon organize and implement it."
Major General, please report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the most important thing to eliminate the Japanese Southern Army in Southeast Asia is to cut off the connection between the Japanese mainland and the Southern Army. As long as this connection is severed, the death of the Japanese Southern Army will not be far away.
It won’t be long.”
Not only Liu Yimin saw this clearly, but also the US military generals. At this time, the generals in the Pacific Theater had already begun to debate where the counterattack point should be.
When Liu Yimin said this, he paused, took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs before he slowly said: "However, the U.S. military's counterattack on the Pacific battlefield is a bloody battle, a hard battle, and requires sacrifice.
A huge sacrifice. The reason is that many islands in Southeast Asia are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese Southern Army was invincible on the Pacific battlefield after its establishment and had high morale. The commander of the Southern Army, General Touichi Terauchi, was a giant of the Japanese army and a famous general with strong appeal.
After the U.S. military launches a counterattack, it will still have a difficult journey. This issue must be psychologically prepared in advance."
When doing ideological work, the most important thing is that the truth spoken is reasonable and convincing. Although Liu Yimin said this in advance, it is absolutely reasonable and reasonable. After listening to the translation, Major General Bao Ruide nodded frequently.
Liu Yimin began to express his thoughts: "Major General Bao Ruide, our army can take measures to cooperate with the US military's counterattack on the Pacific battlefield, reduce the losses of the US military, and promote the early surrender of the Japanese army."
