Chapter 236: Taking Tianjin (8)

Chapter 236 Attacking Tianjin (8)

The room was quiet for a moment. While Luo Ronghuan and others were still thinking about what the Witch of the East and the Flower of Spies were, Yoshiko Kawashima finally woke up from her obsession and fantasy.

When she realized that the charming young officer in front of her might be the most powerful opponent she had ever encountered in her life, Yoshiko Kawashima returned to her true self of the witch of the East, the flower of spies. She smiled sweetly, lightly opened her lips, and spoke softly.

Said: "This general is really powerful. He can even find out the origin of the little girl. However, let me correct your mistake. I am the fourteenth princess of Prince Su, I am Jin Bihui, and I am Kawashima Yoshiko, but

I am not some witch of the East or the flower of spies. I am a member of the Qing royal family. According to the agreement of the Republic of China on preferential treatment of the Qing royal family, I should receive your protection and hospitality instead of such cold questions. I don’t know if I am right.

wrong?"

Liu Yimin played with the teapot, without even looking at Kawashima Yoshiko, but said slowly: "When the Republic of China was founded, there was indeed an agreement to treat the Qing royal family preferentially, but the preferential treatment was for the patriotic Qing royal family, rather than being willing to be traitors and traitors.

You defected to Japan, split the motherland, and established the Qing royal family of the Puppet Manchukuo. It seems that you played a very disgraceful role as a traitor when Puyi and Wanrong fled to the Northeast, right? It seems that you used a trick to smuggle Puyi's wife Wanrong to the Northeast.

What happened to the Japanese military camp was done in Tianjin, right? Forget it, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. At this time, if you still think about being Chinese and want to repent for what you did, just be honest

Write down the heinous crimes you committed in collusion with the Japanese army, so that you can die a bachelor. But let me tell you, even if you don’t tell us, we will know it from the mouths of Japanese prisoners of war in the future, so don’t take chances.”

Seeing that Liu Yimin didn't buy it, Kawashima Yoshiko said again: "General, even if what you said is true, even if I am a Japanese spy, according to the Geneva Convention and international practice, you cannot open and shut up so rashly.

Let me die! I demand to be treated as a prisoner of war. The worst that can happen is that you hand me over to the judicial organs of the Nationalist Government and let them decide whether I am guilty or not and whether I am guilty enough to be punished."

Liu Yimin shook his head: "Don't bother. Everyone can punish traitors. When we shoot you, it represents the trial of you under Chinese law. You don't have to quibble here. I'll give you one last chance, if you want to

If you want to leave something in your heart for your relatives, I can give you paper and pen to write it down. If you don’t cherish this opportunity, I’m sorry, I will help you right away.”

Only then did Kawashima Yoshiko realize that the man who had made her heart beat just now actually didn't care about anything and was bent on killing herself, so she sighed: "General, you have to let me die even if you let me die."

Understand, who are you? I have to know whose hands I am dying by, right?"

Liu Yimin then laughed and said: "You heard clearly, I am Liu Yimin, the commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the president of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and the instructor of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone. Do you understand?"

Although Yoshiko Kawashima has been living in seclusion in Tianjin recently, she has always had a good sense of smell for the flower of espionage. Naturally, she knows what the three words Liu Yimin mean to the Japanese army. From her arrest to now, all her confusion about this mysterious force has been revealed.

It's open.

The confusion was revealed, and Kawashima Yoshiko's heart became calmer. She walked slowly towards Liu Yimin, and said as she walked: "It turns out that the famous General Liu has arrived. This little girl can't greet you. I'm so offended. Please ask General Liu."

To thank you, the little girl is willing to communicate with the general alone for a while. If General Liu still wants to kill the little girl, the little girl will die without regrets."

When Liu Yimin saw Yoshiko Kawashima approaching him slowly, a smile appeared on his lips, he took a sip of tea and said coldly: "No need, in my eyes you are a ruthless person who regards thieves as his father, leads wolves into the house, harms the motherland, and is ruthless.

Bitch, I'm afraid of getting dirty when I communicate with you!"

These words made Yoshiko Kawashima, who thought she could dazzle the world with her beauty, turn red and white, and bite her teeth secretly. You Liu Yimin, who doesn't know how to praise, since you want my mother to die, I will support you.

Seeing Yoshiko Kawashima walking towards Liu Yimin, and Huang Wenhu standing guard at the door, Li Xiaoshuai immediately loaded the gun with a clatter, pointed the gun at Yoshiko Kawashima, and shouted: "Stop, if you move again I'll beat you to death!"

The staff officers in the room also drew their guns and pointed them at Yoshiko Kawashima.

Liu Yimin smiled faintly, waved his hand, and asked them to put away their guns. This is the headquarters, not the battlefield, and there is no need to shoot.

Seeing the guards at the door put away their guns and exit, and the staff also put away their pistols, Yoshiko Kawashima narrowed her eyes at Liu Yimin and smiled: "This is the hero Yoshiko likes, what a hero, how can I, a weak woman, know how to use it?"

Should I use a knife or a gun?"

As he spoke, he walked to a place less than one meter opposite Liu Yimin, stretched out his jade finger and poked Liu Yimin's forehead. The posture was very much like a flirting between lovers.

Liu Yimin frowned, his right palm turned into a claw, and he suddenly extended it, grabbing Kawashima Yoshiko's wrist.

Kawashima Yoshiko moaned: "Bad brother, you're hurting me." She shook her head and got into Liu Yimin's arms. Five blue needles as thin as cow hair flew out of her hat and shot towards Liu Yimin's face.

Come.

Liu Yimin frowned again. He held out the teapot in his left hand like lightning, quickly rotated in a circle, and put all the needles into the teapot. With a strong right hand, he picked up Yoshiko Kawashima and threw her towards the wall of the door.

Liu Yimin said in amusement: "You don't know your own abilities, you still want to assassinate me?"

These movements were too fast. By the time everyone reacted, Yoshiko Kawashima had already fallen softly to the ground. Luo Ronghuan hurriedly walked over to check whether Liu Yimin was injured.

Liu Yimin pushed Luo Ronghuan's hand away and said I'm fine, then turned around and walked to Kawashima Yoshiko, leaned down and whispered: "You are a transparent person in front of me. When and where did I rape Kawashima Naniwa?"

Now that you know it, what else can you hide from me about your sins? If you tell me, I will give you a chance. If you don’t tell me, just nod your head and I will shoot you right away and let you take your secret underground.

Reunite with your pervert godfather Kawashima Naniwa."

At this time, Kawashima Yoshiko completely softened, muttering how this was possible, staring at Liu Yimin for five minutes, then struggled to reach out and support the wall and slowly stood up. After standing up,

Then he reached out and smoothed the short hair around his ears, smiled sadly at Liu Yimin, and said, "I am willing to explain, but please consider that I am also a poor woman and let me die with some dignity."

Liu Yimin waved his hand, and Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai walked in. Liu Yimin said in a deep voice: "Give her a room, get a pen and paper, don't disturb her, and let her write down everything she knows."

After Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai escorted Kawashima Yoshiko out, Luo Ronghuan took the teapot, looked at the dark water inside, and asked Liu Yimin in a deep voice: "You have seen Kawashima Yoshiko's intention, haven't you?"

Liu Yimin shook his head: "Not entirely. I just want to know what the Witch of the East, who is famous all over Japan, participated in the Huanggutun bombing that killed Zhang Zuolin, the September 18th Incident, personally directed Wan Rong's escape, and the Shanghai Incident of 128th, has.

, I want to see what the Japanese have taught her. But it’s just mediocre! I’m so disappointed!”

Luo Ronghuan ignored him and continued to ask: "Since you know that she is so famous, vicious and full of tricks, why do you still let her get close to you? If you were negligent, wouldn't these poisonous needles have hit you? Then

Aren't you about to die inexplicably at the hands of a captured female spy?"

Seeing Luo Ronghuan being so serious, Liu Yimin hurriedly said: "How is that possible? If I am not sure, how can I let her get close to me."

Luo Ronghuan's face was as dark as water, and he called Hu Di and asked him to immediately write an inspection to review why he did not conduct a detailed search of Kawashima Yoshiko who was close to the division commander.

Hu Di argued that it was Li Qing and others who escorted him, and the Security Department did not have time to examine it.

Luo Ronghuan glanced at Hu Di and said: "No matter who brings them here, they must be examined, and I am no exception." Then he ordered Hu Di to investigate the captured Japanese spies quickly, especially those hard-core traitors who committed heinous crimes.

Anyone who is clearly examined will be immediately executed in the name of the Tianjin Anti-Japanese Democratic Government to deter the enemy. Chief of Staff Zeng’s Western Front Group and Liu will be notified to establish a second echelon and deal with traitors accordingly. As for Kawashima Yoshiko, she has finished writing the confession materials.

, she was shot immediately. Not to mention her other crimes, just because she attempted to assassinate the division commander, she deserved death!

After Hu Di left, Luo Ronghuan left Liu Yimin in the war room to think about combat deployment issues, and went to find Cai Zhong to deal with the concession.

At 11:30 in the morning, the air formation led by Chang Qiankun and David arrived near Shijiazhuang.

As soon as they arrived in the sky above Shijiazhuang, two Japanese fighter jets emerged from the clouds and fiercely attacked the formation.

Chang Qiankun knew that these two Japanese fighter jets must be on combat alert missions. Soon all the Japanese fighter jets at Shijiazhuang Airport would take off to meet the enemy. By then, his formation would have no chance of winning. It was very likely that he would steal the chicken but fail.

A handful of rice.

At the critical moment, Chang Qiankun ordered David and Rocher to kill the two Japanese planes. He and Nick led the formation towards Shijiazhuang Airport.

The two Japanese fighter jets were indeed combat alert aircraft. However, after discovering the formation led by Chang Qiankun, they immediately reported it to the airport. Therefore, at this time, the Japanese military airport in Shijiazhuang was already on alert and had anti-aircraft firepower in place.

In order to prepare to meet the enemy, the planes at the airport also took off to meet the enemy.

When Chang Qiankun and the others arrived at the airport, it was just when the Japanese planes were taxiing to take off on the runway. The opportunity could not be missed. Chang Qiankun loudly ordered all the planes to dive, drop bombs and strafe, and resolutely eliminated the enemy planes at the airport. They must not be allowed to pull them up.

.

Fighter planes flew over the Japanese airport, constantly dropping aerial bombs, firing aviation machine guns and machine gun shells, knocking Japanese planes trying to pull them up, causing them to stagger, and planes were constantly hit by bullets and burst into flames.

Suddenly a bomb exploded in front of a taxiing Japanese plane, which made a big hole in the runway. The plane had no time to brake and fell into the big hole. There was a loud creaking sound, and the plane immediately broke into two pieces.

A Japanese plane that was being pulled up collided head-on with Chang Qiankun. A row of machine guns hit it, and the Japanese plane immediately exploded and burst into flames.

Nick had just killed a Japanese plane that had been pulled up, and he was enjoying the fight. He pulled the nose of the plane, raised the plane to a certain height, dived down again, pressed the machine gun button, and fired violently at the Japanese plane and ground staff who were about to move on the airport.

strafe.

After the first wave of dives, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower had already bitten the bomber formation. Chang Qiankun thought that most of his soldiers were students boarding the plane for the first time. He sighed and ordered the bomber formation to retreat towards Jinan. He and Nick

A fighter jet was set up to pick up David and Rochiel.

David and Rochelle, with their wingmen, had been fighting with the Japanese aircraft for a while. Although there were only two Japanese planes, they were skilled in tactics and gained the upper hand. After a while, David and Rochelle actually

There was nothing they could do. With the addition of Chang Qiankun and Nick, eight fighter planes surrounded and suppressed the two Japanese planes. The situation of the battle immediately changed. The two Japanese planes soon landed at the airport dragging black smoke, hoping that relying on ground fire cover, they could

Landed safely and escaped with his life.

When David saw that the Japanese plane had escaped and there were still remaining Japanese planes taking off at the airport, he roared and pressed down the nose of the plane. With superb skills, he got through the fire net on the ground and pulled up a Japanese plane that had just been lifted up.

The plane exploded in the air and then calmly passed the airport.

After pulling up, David found that his wingman Lei Zhicheng had not followed. After turning the nose of the plane, David saw a fireball flash from the Japanese airport tower, and the tower collapsed immediately. David said in broken Chinese that he had learned for a while: "

Lei Zhicheng, my brother!" He didn't bother to check the situation at the Japanese airport and went after the formation.

After Chang Qiankun led the formation to leave, the Japanese airport in Shijiazhuang became busy. People were putting out fires, rescuing planes, and rescuing the wounded. It was very lively.

The tower has been destroyed and the airport needs to be closed temporarily. After learning from the pain, the Japanese pilots insisted that this was not done by Chinese pilots, but by Americans or British. Because they were all Imperial Army fighter planes, they could hear it clearly on the radio

, the attacker spoke English.

Therefore, Shijiazhuang Airport immediately reported to the North China Front Army Aviation Corps that it had encountered a sneak attack by the US or British forces. At least the pilots of the US or British forces had joined the China Air Force because they spoke English.

Now, as the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs escalated its protests to the United States and Britain, the deeds of David and others soon spread around the world, becoming famous air combat heroes.

In the mid-to-late 1930s, Japan had a strong national power. Therefore, the Japanese army's frontline field airport was built in a timely manner and could provide air cover for the Japanese army at any time. Jinan Airport was a field airport that the Japanese army quickly built to capture Jinan.

At this time, Jinan Airport has received a notification from the North China Front Army Aviation Corps, knowing that Baoding, Peiping, Shijiazhuang, Shanhaiguan, and Shenyang Airport were attacked by the China Air Force using Imperial Army fighter jets. The North China Front Army Aviation Corps ordered them to act quickly and expand patrols and investigations.

range to guard against sneak attacks by the China Air Force.

After receiving the order, Jinan Airport took action, transferring fuel and ammunition, and fighter planes took turns to take off on alert. In addition to eating, the pilots sat in the plane and were on standby, ready to take off for combat at any time. However, Jinan Airport is small, with only a few dozen aircraft.

, the combat alert was started in the morning, and after struggling all morning, there was no sign of the sneak attacker. The proud Japanese pilots committed the old habit again. Except for the four Japanese planes on duty in the sky, the pilots of other planes were in the cockpit.

They have all closed their eyes and started to relax.

Since Jinan Airport was a temporarily built field airport and lacked air defense firepower, the Japanese army also transferred some machine guns from the infantry to form an air defense firepower network.

At noon, the sun shone lazily on the airport, adding a bit of warmth to the cold winter. The pilots sitting in the cabin became increasingly reluctant to open their eyes.

Suddenly, the airport siren sounded loudly, and the piercing howling woke up the pilots in the cabin. They only heard the loudspeaker in the tower shouting: "Enemy planes are attacking, all planes will take off immediately."

Just as the pilots were firing up their fighters, four light bombers and four heavy bombers were already rushing towards the airport.

This time, Chang Qiankun and David changed their tactics and divided their forces into two groups. Fighters flew at high altitude to attack the Japanese fighter planes on duty at the airport. After the bomber formation crossed the mountains, they flew at low altitude and headed straight for the airport according to the position marked on the aviation chart.

Come. So, when the Japanese fighter jets on duty spotted Chang Qiankun's fighter formation and issued a combat alert, the bomber formation had already arrived over the airport, and the orders from the Japanese military tower could already be heard in the headphones.

Compared with the air raid on Shijiazhuang Airport, the bombing of Jinan Airport seemed particularly successful. When the Japanese aircraft fired, the bomber formation had already roared past the tree branches and arrived at the airport. The trainees who had already had several combat experiences were now relatively experienced.

In addition, the altitude was very low, and the aerial bombs were dropped with great accuracy. Basically, they exploded on the tarmac, tearing apart the newly ignited Japanese aircraft and throwing them up. After one round of bombing, the boys were not satisfied, so they turned around and tried again.

We raided the airport again with bombs, machine guns, and airborne machine guns. Seeing that there was still ammunition, we went straight to the Japanese anti-aircraft fire position and beat it to a pulp. Then we quietly pulled up and returned.

Tianjin Airport.

After the fighter formation killed the Japanese fighter planes on duty, the bomber formation had returned.

After receiving the report on the results of the Second Aviation Group, Liu Yimin was overjoyed and ordered Lei Zhicheng to be posthumously awarded the title of Special Merit Martyr. He also ordered Chang Qiankun to organize the trainees who did not have aircraft to participate in the battle to quickly train in actual flight skills, prepare for the relocation of the airport, and wait for orders to fly back to Xi'an.

Relieved, Liu Yimin immediately urged all ministries to report on the progress. The telegram from Plateau read like this: "Report to the division commander, we have made a fortune! All the Japanese warehouses in Tanggu are full, and there are sixty armored vehicles alone.

, there are also 30 tanks and 200 cars, all of which are brand new, without even a scratch. There are field guns, mountain guns, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles. Our preliminary inventory shows that the weapons should be two of the Japanese army's.

The equipment of this division includes more than 50,000 sets of military coats, cotton uniforms, and spring and summer military uniforms. Ammunition is indeed for the use of the entire North China Front Army. Needless to say, bullets, artillery shells, grenades, and explosive packs, there are many more to this day.

There is no clear inventory. Rice and white flour are piled up like mountains. This morning, three cargo ships from Japan docked, all carrying ammunition, medicine and food. I am organizing the troops to load the trucks and use rail transportation and car transportation at the same time. But

There are too many things. Just barrels of gasoline and 200 cars have to be transported several times, and it will be impossible to transport them all in a few days. I ask the teacher to find a way to buy me time and strive to transport all the things. As for the salt from private enterprises

, alkali and manufacturing equipment, it is too late to dismantle them now because ready-made items cannot be transported."

After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin chuckled. If it weren't for these things, why would I have traveled such a long way here? Then he ordered Gao Yuan to teach the Second Regiment all the equipment of armored vehicles and tanks, organize synthetic training on the spot according to the training outline, and drive back at night.

In the southern suburbs of Tianjin, look for a suitable location to continue covert training and strive to put it into use in the next battle.

When Gao Yuan received the telegram, his face was filled with joy. He called Zhao Dahe and Sun Manxi, showed them Liu Yimin's order, and then asked them if it was okay. If not, he would send a group from Tianjin to receive the equipment.

Zhao Dahe's face turned red and he shouted loudly: "The first regiment is glorious, and the second regiment is definitely not a coward. The soldiers' study and training are there. No one can say that the second regiment is worse than any other army. If so,

If I fail to complete the mission, I don’t need to make trouble for the brigade commander. I will just hold the explosive bag and die together with the little Japanese."

Sun Manxi also said excitedly: "Thank you, division commander, and brigade commander for trusting the second regiment. I will assist the regiment commander in training and will never embarrass the instructor."

Gao Yuan then patted Zhao Dahe and Sun Manxi on the shoulders with confidence and told them to receive the equipment immediately, prepare enough fuel and ammunition, immediately organize soldiers to carry out training, and drive back to the southern suburbs of Tianjin in advance in the evening. They should pay attention to concealment and confidentiality. Before going into battle, they could not

Let the Japanese army know that we have such a steel assault force.

After Zhao Dahe and Sun Manxi left, Gao Yuan said to political commissar Yuan Guoping: "I originally thought that the division commander would attach great importance to the first regiment, but I didn't expect that the second regiment would become a mechanized force first. The division commander's mind is really indescribable, it is just like the sea in front of us.

ah!"

Since Yuan Guoping came to work in the Guard Division, everything has been going well. After listening to Gao Yuan's words, he received: "The division commander is a legendary hero of our army. When he was in Xi'an, he focused on the military with one hand and the economy with the other. If he didn't have this ambition, we would be here now.

Can you stand here in Tanggu and smile while looking at so many supplies? I’m afraid I’ll have to wander around in the ravines!”

Gao Yuan grinned with a big mouth, and after he finished laughing, he said: "This little Japanese has been unlucky for eight lifetimes when he met his teacher. I think they are still crying behind him!"

Yuan Guoping also became interested, rubbed his hands and said: "That is, for such a powerful army, it is like drinking boiled water to clean up a brigade, and it is like drinking a mouthful of porridge to clean up a regiment, and it is like drinking porridge to bring in an elite brigade.

It’s almost the same. I can eat delicious steamed buns. It would be great if an elite group comes and I can eat a big bowl of meat. I won’t say it anymore. The more I talk about it, the hotter my heart becomes. After a while, my hands are itchy.”

Gao Yuan punched Yuan Guoping and scolded him with a smile: "You guys, when did you learn to be so greedy? You used to be a gentle person, how did you become like this? I'm not afraid of others scolding you."

Yuan Guoping said: "Learn to dance from the goddess, and learn to steal from the old thief. I followed you, and naturally I became like this."

Gao Yuan laughed happily. After laughing, the two of them were busy directing the troops to carry supplies.

Wu Zheng called to report the progress.

On the phone, Wu Zheng's voice was already trembling. Liu Yimin felt funny in his heart and asked him to calm down. After all, he was also the trainer's butler. Looking at that, he was so excited after just making some money.

Wu Zheng ignored Liu Yimin's amusement and reported in a trembling voice: "We have seized Japanese-owned banks and all Japanese and puppet assets, confiscated the assets of Japanese overseas Chinese, and seized the accounts of traitors in major banks. We cannot liquidate those with too much money."

.I guess I won’t be able to figure out a big number until tomorrow.”

When Liu Yimin heard this, he realized that this guy was really serious, so he said: "On the one hand, you will do the liquidation, and on the other hand, you will immediately clean up and load the seized gold bars, silver dollars, and banknotes into trucks, ready to be transported away. Except for the Japanese yen, all other foreign currencies will be deposited in

U.S. bank account. We must hurry up. The Japanese army will soon find out about our occupation of Tianjin. We don’t have much time left. In addition, we must hurry up to clear the supplies and transport them. If the baggage regiment is not strong enough, we can move all the brigades.

All the supplementary teams have been mobilized, and Yao Yilin and others will be asked to mobilize the people of Tianjin to participate in the transportation. Tomorrow, warehouses will be opened to release grain and help the poor."

After talking to Wu Zheng on the phone, the telegrams from Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu Jianshe arrived. After reading them, Liu Yimin felt that all aspects were progressing smoothly. Liu Jianshe reported that the troops were moving towards Tangshan and expected to launch an attack in the evening. Zeng Zhongsheng reported that Jinghai County had already

We captured it early this morning, wiping out a Japanese squad and a company of the Puppet North China Security Army. Cangxian County was captured at 11 a.m., wiping out a Japanese squadron and a battalion of the Puppet North China Security Army. The cavalry brigade and artillery are now hiding near Langfang, preparing to capture it at night

Go to Langfang.

Feeling that the situation was stable and that Tianjin and its surrounding areas were completely under control, Liu Yimin felt that it was time to announce the news of our army's occupation of Tianjin to the people of Tianjin. He asked Cai Zhong to inform the troops that the entire army would change into Eighth Route Army uniforms tomorrow morning, except

In addition to moving materials quickly, we must cooperate with the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and Tianjin Municipal Party Committee to form multiple work teams to publicize and mobilize the masses, and mobilize the masses to temporarily evacuate as much as possible to prevent Japanese air raids. A press conference will be held at 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow to announce it to the world.

News of our army's occupation of Tianjin. A symposium with representatives from all walks of life in Tianjin was then held to further publicize our party's policy of unity against Japan. In the afternoon, a symposium was arranged with celebrities from Tianjin's industrial and commercial circles. In the evening, a cocktail party was arranged to entertain the embassies, consulates and concession managers of various countries in Tianjin.

Promote our party and our army's proposition of resisting Japan and saving the nation throughout the world, and strive for solidarity and support from all countries.

After the explanation, Liu Yimin felt a little sleepy, so he set up a small bed in the war room and rested for a while.
