Mao Zedong also waited all night in Xi'an. After receiving the news of Liu Yimin's victory, Mao Zedong immediately wrote and drafted the "Supplementary Instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission on the Work of Our Army after the Occupation of Tianjin", pointing out: "This time our army successfully regained Tianjin.
, mainly due to the proper use of tactics and accurate timing, and also due to the arrogance of the Japanese army. It is by no means that our army is strong enough to resist the heavy Japanese army! This point must be requested.
Comrades on the Tianjin Front Committee must maintain a clear understanding and must not be arrogant in underestimating the enemy. The top priority is to quickly mobilize our party's forces in Hebei and Tianjin to quickly eradicate the Japanese and puppet forces, suppress traitors, and transfer supplies. To ensure the completion of the above tasks, the Central Committee
It is believed that: 1. After occupying Tanggu, Jinghai and Cangxian, we should actively attack with powerful troops to eliminate all remaining enemies in the suburbs of Tianjin and eastern Hebei in order to further mobilize the masses and create local armed forces.
Pretend to lay the foundation; second, use a powerful force to open up contact with Lu Zhengcao's department in central Hebei and supplement the department; third, use a force to feint in the direction of Beiping, causing the main force of our army to attack Beiping in a large scale, forcing the enemy's Beiping defenders to move further
Shrink and expand our army's activity space; fourth, after completing the first and second tasks, the main force will be assembled and rest near Jinpu Road to prepare for the heavy reinforcements of the Japanese army and strive to annihilate one to two enemy brigades; fifth, complete the above
After the mission and material transfer is completed and the Japanese troops are mobilized to return to Tianjin, the main force of the teaching division can go south to Shandong, but one part must be left to defend the armed struggle in eastern Hebei and establish the Tianjin-Hebei base area; 6. Strict attention must be paid to the dynamics of the Japanese army to prevent heavy Japanese troops
The group and air power should jointly attack, and the transfer of materials should be concealed and rapid. Some heavy equipment that is inconvenient to transfer can be temporarily buried on the spot and can be transferred again after the Japanese retaliatory military operations are over."
After finishing writing, Mao Zedong put down his writing brush and asked Ye Jianying to take it and send the report immediately. He stood up, rubbed his eyes, and said to Zhou Enlai with a smile: "Okay, you can have a good sleep. It's all the fault of this little guy Liu Yimin.
We have to wait in fear all night. Let's go back and tell Chen Yun that the wine given to Liu Yimin by the boss of Moutai will not be given to him, and all of it will be kept in Xi'an. This can be regarded as Liu Yimin's compensation for us!"
When Zhou Enlai heard this, he said: "Chairman can't bully honest people. I think we should leave some for Liu Yimin. Originally I gave him twenty catties, but in the future I will just give him ten catties. But to be honest, I look forward to it every day."
Liu Yimin caused trouble for me! This time, I don’t know which Japanese general is going to perform a caesarean section to apologize."
Mao Zedong chuckled: "Of course, it must be Juichi Terauchi, the commander of the North China Front. Last time he found a scapegoat. This time all the Japanese troops in Tianjin were wiped out. It will not be so easy for him to find a scapegoat again. He
If not, who will have a caesarean section?"
Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said: "Shouichi Terauchi is very thick-skinned. He wants him to commit suicide by caesarean section. It is not enough to capture Tianjin. If Liu Yimin's bombing of the Japanese airport can succeed, it might still be possible. If the Japanese army is bombed,
The results of the airport battle are not great, and Terauchi Juichi will probably mobilize a large army to retake Tianjin soon, and then he will be proud of himself."
Mao Zedong said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if Shouichi in the temple doesn't die this time, he can die next time, or he can even die. As long as the instructor is in full swing in Jidong, the chess games in Tianjin and Jidong will be alive. From now on,
The countryside there may become ours
Base area or guerrilla zone. The only thing I worry about is that the Japanese army will retaliate against the common people. This point needs to be carefully studied. Well, today’s things can be said to be able to save the knot. I am going to sleep, and Liu Yimin will do the rest.
Luo Ronghuan and the others can just worry about it."
After saying that, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai left the war room one after another and went back to their living rooms to rest.
After receiving Mao Zedong's telegram, Liu Yimin truly understood the chairman's strategic thinking. According to Liu Yimin's original idea, occupying Tianjin was just for the Japanese strategic materials in Tianjin and to lay the foundation for the establishment of the Shandong base. But the chairman's idea was to use the instructors as strategic maneuvers
To use force, we must take advantage of the instructor's opportunity in Tianjin to prepare for the future war in Jidong and Jizhong.
Clear obstacles as much as possible and expand our military's strategic area. According to later generations, Chairman, this is a standard ride-hailing price increase, but Liu Yimin is happy. Because strategically speaking, this is the best time to develop Jidong. Besides,
There is also a pseudo-Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government run by Yin Rugeng in Tangshan! Liu Yimin will never let this notorious traitor go.
Liu Yimin immediately adjusted his deployment and ordered Liu to establish the second echelon of command. He worked non-stop and quickly divided his troops to clear out all the Japanese and puppet regimes in the periphery of Tianjin and Tangshan area. He must destroy the traitor Yin Rugeng's puppet Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government and its security team.
, and break
Destroy the northern section of Tangshan Railway on the Tangshan Railway; order Yao Yilin to immediately report to the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, transfer cadres, and follow Liu to establish a second echelon operation to quickly establish an anti-Japanese democratic regime in the eastern Hebei region and form local armed forces; order the cavalry brigade to separate from the first echelon.
Gathering in the western suburbs of Tianjin
They rested and reorganized in the middle, and then formed the Western Front Group with the 4th Brigade of the Leiming Jiao and the 8th Brigade of the Zhaoshan Jiao, commanded by Chief of Staff Zeng Zhongsheng, striving to clear out the Japanese and puppet forces from Tianjin to Jizhong and Peiping before the heavy Japanese army group returned to support.
The third echelon of the Second Field Artillery Regiment is attached to the Western Front
The group command, the Cavalry Brigade, the Eighth Teaching Brigade, and the Second Field Artillery Regiment must first capture Langfang, cut off the connection between Beijing and Tianjin, force the enemy to shrink to Peiping, and then expand in the direction of Jizhong. At the same time, a report is sent to the headquarters, requesting the headquarters to order Lu Zhengcao
The Jizhong troops under his leadership acted in coordination.
After adjusting the deployment, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan sat at the Japanese military headquarters and waited for each unit to report on their progress.
Tanggu is the collective name of Beitang and Dagu. Beitang is on the north bank of Haihe River, and Dagu is on the south bank of Haihe River. The north bank belongs to Ninghe County, and the south bank belongs to Tianjin County. This place is a land formed by the impact of sediment brought by the Yellow River into the sea.
After the Yellow River changed its course, because it is the estuary of the Hai River, it has strategic significance and is known as the gateway to Gyeonggi Province. Since modern times, it has become the main battlefield for the Chinese people to resist the aggression of imperialist powers.
Since the northern part of Tianjin was opened as a treaty port, Tanggu's shipping industry has developed unprecedentedly and has become the cradle of modern northern industry. Its refined salt and soda ash are world-famous.
The sneak attack on Tanggu finally turned into an attack on Tanggu, which was beyond Liu Yimin's expectation.
After Gao Yuan led the first echelon into the city, according to the pre-war plan, he quickly controlled the Tianjin Main Station and the East Station, then left the cavalry brigade, sent the vanguard troops to teach the second regiment of the first brigade to take the train directly to Tanggu, and commanded the follow-up troops on the train.
, take a boat and ride a horse to go to Tanggu.
Zhao Dahe, the leader of the Second Regiment, and Sun Manxi, the political commissar, were both veterans of the Red Army who fought all the way back in the 18th Regiment. They had a deep understanding of Liu Yimin's tactical thinking. In addition, the troops were well-equipped and well-trained, and they were pretending to be a Japanese sneak attack.
Tanggu can be taken easily.
Everything went well at the beginning. Tanggu is only about 100 miles away from Tianjin, and the train speed is not bad. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Second Religion Group had entered Tanggu Station. There was no trouble, and the Japanese troops stationed at the station were quickly killed.
.
The next step went smoothly. Under the guidance of the underground party guide, the Second Regiment quickly arrived at the Japanese Marine Corps barracks. Two battalions took control of the barracks and one battalion captured the Japanese patrol boats.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, China's only naval forces were deployed along the Yangtze River. There was no Chinese naval ship in North China. Naturally, the Japanese navy would not waste energy in Tanggu. However, due to Tanggu's important status, the Japanese navy was on normal maritime patrol.
Yes, there is a small formation of only six patrol boats stationed here, and a Marine Corps group with more than 600 people is stationed here.
At 7:30 in the morning, the third battalion commander of the Second Regiment led troops disguised as Japanese troops to the dock and immediately boarded the boat.
There were only six Japanese patrol boats, and apart from the soldiers on duty, there were no extra people. According to the soldiers' assumptions, if such a large cargo ship was controlled, this small patrol boat was nothing.
In fact, something went wrong with this little patrol boat. The soldiers didn't know that the relationship between the Japanese Navy and the Army was very complicated. Under normal circumstances, the Navy simply ignored the Army. So when the soldiers wanted to board the patrol boat
When he arrived, he was immediately rejected. Seeing that it had no effect, the third battalion commander waved his hand, and the soldiers swarmed up, preparing to stab to death all the soldiers on duty in the six patrol boats.
Unfortunately, when the soldiers forcibly boarded the boat, the Japanese patrol boat warning soldiers had already seen that something was wrong, and immediately fired warning shots. As soon as the gunfire rang out, the soldiers of the third battalion naturally took action, and soon all the bullets were fired.
The attack was carried out and these soldiers on guard were eliminated.
This alarmed the Marine Corps. The Japs immediately realized that the Chinese army appeared out of nowhere and pretended to be an imperial army sneak attack. They quickly entered a fighting state and began to attack the Second Regiment who rushed to the door of the barracks.
shooting.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Zhao Dahe made a prompt decision and ordered the first and second battalions to organize a firepower attack to resolutely eliminate the enemy. The third battalion was responsible for guarding other key points.
Seeing the strong firepower of the Chinese army, the Japanese commander immediately asked for help from other troops in Tanggu and the Tianjin garrison, and directed the troops to rely on the fortifications in the barracks to confront the Second Regiment.
At this time, the Japanese Army troops stationed in Tanggu and the security forces of the puppet Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government all dispatched to reinforce the Marine Corps and attack the Second Religion Regiment.
Zhao Dahe saw that the enemy's fortifications were strong and the casualties in the attack would be heavy, so he decided to leave the second battalion to monitor the besieging Marines, while he commanded the first and third battalions to eliminate the Japanese and security forces who came for reinforcements.
There were not many Japanese reinforcements, only about 300 people, but there were two armored vehicles. The security team had a lot of people, about 500 people. As soon as the Second Regiment turned around to attack the reinforcements, the rocket launchers knocked out the Japanese armored vehicles.
.
Seeing the powerful firepower of the Chinese army, the Japanese immediately began to switch to defense. At this time, Zhao Dahe had to calm down and chew the bones.
