After receiving the good news that the instructor had occupied Tianjin, Lin Sen, the chairman of the National Government, who would turn 70 in more than 20 days, excitedly recited Buddhist scriptures for half an hour. After reciting, Lin Sen washed his hands and worshiped the incense to pay homage to the instructor.
Liu Yimin inscribed the four characters "The War of Resistance Must Be Victorious" and asked his secretary to withdraw 200,000 yuan from his personal savings and deliver it to the representatives of the Communist Party of China, explaining that it was a reward from the Chairman of the National Government to the heroic instructor.
After doing all this, Lin Sen felt that it was not enough, so he picked up a pen and began to write an article "Working together to win the war of resistance", preparing to publish it in the newspaper. The article said that the recapture of Tianjin this time fully proved that the Japanese army is not terrible, but we are terrible.
There is no belief in victory. Why has the instructor achieved many successes and opened famous cities since his expedition? One of the important reasons is that he is not afraid of the enemy and dares to stab the enemy's heart. Compared with those generals who retreated thousands of miles after hearing the alarm.
, provincial chairman and instructor can be described as a model for our army.
As he wrote, Lin Sen felt energetic, and he turned his pen and wrote: "Especially when the instructor publicly pronounced the verdict of a traitor spy on behalf of the National Government in Tianjin, it was very satisfying. The Japanese spy Shigekawa Hidekazu who started the Marco Polo Bridge Incident was executed, and he participated in planning the Nine
During the 18th Incident, Yoshiko Kawashima, who concocted the 128th Incident, and who recognized the traitor as his father, was executed. Yin Rugeng, who took the lead in launching a rebellion in eastern Hebei and established the puppet government, opened the door to the thieves. Gao Lingwei, who established the puppet Tianjin Maintenance Council, was executed. A large number of willing people
All the traitors who acted as lackeys of the Japanese invaders were executed, which upheld the dignity of national law, upheld justice, and fully demonstrated that being a traitor will not end well! As the Chairman of the National Government, I would like to warn those who have already become traitors and those who are interested in becoming traitors.
Those who want to do this should immediately rein in their horses and change their past mistakes. Otherwise, the day when the national army regains the lost territory will be the day when the traitors are punished, as evidenced by the fate of Yin Rugeng and Gao Lingwei."
After finishing writing, Lin Sen asked his secretary to immediately take it to the newspaper and radio station to publish it, and he began to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the compatriots who died.
After receiving the news, the Chairman of the Military Commission in Wuhan, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, immediately convened the Military Commission ministers with Chief of Staff He Yingqin and Deputy Chief Bai Chongxi to urgently discuss the situation between the enemy and ourselves after Tianjin was recovered.
Bai Chongxi judged that based on the current movements of the Japanese army, the 13th Division of the Central China Front Army, under flank protection, had invaded the Chuxian, Lai'an, Liuhe, and Quanjiao areas. The strategic purpose must be to attempt to move north to cooperate with the North China Front Army to open up the Jinpu Line and communicate with North China and Central China.
The connection between the two theaters. The North China Front troops are divided into three groups, attacking and advancing along Jinpu Road. The target must be Xuzhou, in an attempt to return to Xuzhou with the Central China Front Army; they advance along the Pinghan Line and confront our army in the north of the Yellow River.
, may cross the Yellow River southward at any time; the other group will attack Shanxi with all its strength, and after occupying Taiyuan for the second time, it is likely to launch an offensive operation to southern Shanxi. Now, Liu Yimin's instructor has regained Tianjin, which is bound to disrupt the enemy's deployment and greatly mobilize
The enemy. It is expected that the enemy will send some troops from Taiyuan, Shandong, Central China, and Northeast China to support North China and recapture Tianjin.
In view of the instructor's record of wiping out 40,000 Japanese troops in Shanxi, coupled with the attack on Tianjin this time, and the instructor's two destruction of Japanese airfields in North China, Bai Chongxi further judged that the Japanese army was likely to become angry and temporarily abandon other battlefields.
offensive, use a heavy force group to attack and eliminate the instructors with all their strength. The top priority is that our army should take two steps. First, seize the powerful opportunity when the enemy's strategic deployment is suddenly disrupted. On the one hand, the troops in Central China, Shanxi, and North China must seize the opportunity to reorganize and train.
Troops, store supplies, and build fortifications. On the other hand, we must actively attack across the board to harass, block, contain, and oppress the enemy, support operations in Tianjin, reduce the enemy's strategic space, and change the strategic situation. Second, the instructor should be immediately telegraphed to
Before the enemy encircles you, you must abandon Tianjin and jump out of the enemy's encirclement. Otherwise, the instructor will be in great danger.
He Yingqin agreed with Bai Chongxi's judgment, but asked for further intelligence analysis as to how large a force the enemy would mobilize to besiege the instructor. Overall, the instructor's move struck a critical moment, reviving the situation with one move and alleviating the situation.
The crisis situation in Central China, Shandong, and Shanxi. However, considering the overall situation of the national Anti-Japanese War, the longer the instructors stay in Tianjin, the more beneficial it will be to the national war situation. At least they can buy time to realize the strategic idea of exchanging space for time proposed by the Chairman of the Standing Committee.
.If the instructors can persist in Tianjin for half a year, then we can train at least 50 more divisions and put them into the battlefield, and the balance of strength between the two sides will change.
Zhang Qun was serving as the Minister of Political Strategy of the Military Commission at this time. When he heard that He Yingqin meant to sacrifice Liu Yimin's instructor to attract the enemy, he trembled in his heart. He knew that most of the senior generals of the national army probably wanted the instructor to be adapted from the Red Army.
The troops of the Seventh Army died together with the enemy in the bloody battle with the Japanese army. Before he knew Liu Yimin, he definitely thought the same way. But now his idea has changed slightly, because the national power gap between China and Japan is too big, not just one or two games.
A battle can change the balance of power between the two sides, and it is not possible to defeat the Japanese in a year or two. Sacrificing an elite unit like the instructor at this time will definitely be a huge loss to China's war of resistance. Forbearance
He couldn't help but say: "I don't understand military command, but I know what Jiansheng said is reasonable. It only needs to achieve the purpose of mobilizing the enemy and easing the crisis of the war situation. The instructors should be ordered to abandon Tianjin immediately, and the Japanese must not be surrounded by Tianjin."
Tianjin is a seaside city. If Japanese planes bombed it on a large scale, the city of Tianjin, let alone the instructors, would be reduced to ashes. Besides, training 50 divisions may not be as good as the old cadre troops who train one division.
Do you dare to fight against Tianjin? Do you dare to fight against Tianjin with 50 newly trained divisions? There is still a long way to go in the war of resistance. In the future, we will need troops like instructors who can fight well to fight against the Japanese army! Besides, judging from the current situation,
The Japanese army is probably eager to eliminate the instructors, and even if we order them to evacuate Tianjin, they may not be able to evacuate safely!"
Chiang Kai-shek's dark eyes swept back and forth on Zhang Qun's face, frightening Zhang Qun to the point of sweating on his forehead.
He Yingqin looked at Zhang Qun in embarrassment with a half-smile but said nothing, and everyone else was also silent.
After a while, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Tianjin is an important town in North China, where China and foreign countries are looking. Recovering Tianjin will let the world know that the Japanese are not man-eating tigers, and they also have weaknesses. Although the front offensive is fierce, the rear is extremely
Empty. If Tianjin can be recaptured, what place cannot be recaptured? Therefore, recapturing Tianjin is a great victory, and it is a great victory that greatly increases the confidence of the people. Niang Xipi, how can you give up Tianjin as soon as you capture it? At the very least, you must
He held on for ten days and a half. However, the instructor couldn't just let the Japanese army be trapped in Tianjin. In that case, wouldn't it be playing into the Japanese army's hands? In this way, Liu Yimin liked to move east and west in battle, leaving the Japanese army confused, so he simply
Just let him maneuver around Tianjin to contain the main force of the North China Front. Tianjin must hold on. As for when to retreat from Tianjin, refer to the example of the Nanjing Defense War. The Military Commission does not make rigid regulations, and the battlefield commander decides on his own. In addition,
The Japanese aviation force was powerful, and it was extremely unsafe for the fighter planes at Tianjin Airport. The power generator asked Liu Yimin to fly the fighter planes to Luoyang, hand them over to the management of the first theater, and then fly back to the rear. In the name of the Military Commission, the instructor was rewarded with 200,000 yuan.
Encouragement."
When Chiang Kai-shek said this, He Yingqin immediately agreed: "You can see far if you stand high. The Pingjin area has fertile land and a dense population, enough to support a large army. In addition, it can threaten Pingjin at any time, like a thorn in the ground."
Being on the throat of the Japanese army can not only achieve the miraculous effect of containing the Japanese army, but also prevent Liu Yimin from fighting in Tianjin and avoid being surrounded by the Japanese army. It is a perfect strategy."
Bai Chongxi smacked his mouth, but still didn't say anything. He watched the staff officer on duty in the attendant's room draft an order in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's wishes, presented it to Chiang Kai-shek for signature, and then sent it for dispatch.
The atmosphere that followed was a bit dull. When Chiang Kai-shek saw that everyone was silent, he asked the ministers to adjourn the meeting, leaving He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and others to study how to block the sluggish enemy and block the enemy's deployment of reinforcements to Tianjin based on the results of the situation analysis between the enemy and ourselves.
After Liu Yimin held a symposium with commercial representatives, he held a cocktail party at the Chi Shilin Western Restaurant in the evening and met with the consuls general of various countries in Tianjin and representatives of the concessions.
Liu Yimin's original intention was not to meet these foreigners, because there was no difference between these guys and the Japanese in invading China. It was really difficult for him to have a toast with the invaders. However, he came from the future and knew that the second time
The prelude to the world war is about to begin, and great changes are imminent. Liu Yimin is still willing to meet these foreigners, sow a wedge between them and the Japanese, and make Japan lose its place to import industrial raw materials as soon as possible.
The concessions in Tianjin began with the establishment of concessions by the British. The earliest concessions were from the nine countries of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, Japan, Italy, Belgium and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They are the places with the most concessions in China and even the world. Among them, the German concessions and the Austro-Hungarian concessions
The Imperial Concession, because Duan Qirui withstood the pressure from all parties when he was in charge of the Beiyang Government and resolutely declared war on Germany and Austria. Therefore, after the First World War, the Beiyang Government took back China as a victor. The Russian Concession was established in the 19th century
After the October Revolution, in accordance with Lenin's opinion of giving up all privileges in China, China and Russia negotiated and returned it to China. The American concession was established in 1862, during the American Civil War, and the United States had no time to develop it, so it announced its abandonment in 1880. Unfortunately, the Qing government
It was not accepted until 1902, when the United States privately handed over the concession to the British and merged it into the British concession. The Belgian concession was basically undeveloped and was taken back in 1931 after negotiations between the Republic of China government and Belgium.
At this time, Tianjin had concessions from the British, French, Italian and Japanese countries, which were built as a state within a country on both sides of the coastal river. Needless to say, in the Japanese concession, the instructors eliminated their security forces and even the Japanese were arrested. The other three concessions
After receiving the notice, the representatives came to Qishilin on time.
Even representatives from the four major foreign banks in Tianjin, including Jardine Matheson, Swire, Renji, and Xintaixing, as well as some banks, came.
Correspondents from some foreign countries stationed in North China and reporters from newspapers in the concession offices also attended the reception.
The person who served as Liu Yimin's English translator was Yang Dalin, the cadre section chief of the instructor's political department. Tonight, Yang Dalin specially changed into a suit according to Liu Yimin's order, and the young man suddenly looked very energetic.
Before the reception began, Liu Yimin delivered a speech as usual. He spoke very briefly, with three main points: First, on behalf of the Tianjin Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, he announced to take back the Japanese concession, confiscate all Japanese and puppet assets, and examine the crimes committed by Japanese overseas Chinese in China in accordance with Chinese law.
Those who should be shot should be shot, those who should be sentenced should be sentenced, those who should be fined should be fined, and those who should be acquitted should be acquitted. Second, the current world situation is turbulent. Japan's aggression against China has accelerated the unpredictable changes in the world structure. I hope that all countries will
The staff of the Tianjin embassy and consulates can truthfully report the inhumane aggression of the Japanese army to their own governments and express solidarity and support for the Chinese people in the war of resistance. At the same time, we hope that governments of all countries will be wary of the Japanese invaders and join hands to jointly prevent the Japanese army from expanding their aggression. Third, we hope that the concession management will
, try our best to protect the lives and property of the Chinese people in the concession.
After Yang Dalin translated, everyone who attended the reception was dumbfounded. One person did not expect that the newly appointed mayor of Tianjin's anti-Japanese democratic government would announce the takeover of the Japanese Concession with murderous intent; the other did not expect that this Chinese general actually said that Japan would expand
Invasion, does Japan still dare to invade Britain or France? So, those reporters first became busy, taking pictures non-stop, and then asked for further interviews.
After Liu Yimin announced the takeover of the Japanese Concession, he achieved the main purpose of holding a cocktail party. After a tiring day, he didn't want to be interviewed anymore. He entrusted Cai Zhong to deal with the reporters. He quickly filled his stomach and held a glass of red wine.
Walk towards British Consul General Pan Lena.
Pan Lena has been in China for more than ten years. He is a standard China hand and a veteran colonialist. With his support, the British Concession has been expanding overtly and covertly. Liu Yimin has only one thing to do with him, which is to ask for help.
Recover the assets stored in the British Concession by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications when they evacuated Tianjin. Because he knew that the British Concession eventually handed over the funds to the Japanese.
After the two exchanged greetings, Pan Lena asked with a smile: "Dear Liu, you look so energetic. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Liu Yimin knew that this was an old fox, but he had no time to argue with him, so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Consul General, I have been entrusted by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications to retrieve the funds we deposited in the British Concession. Please make arrangements.
, I will send someone to pick it up at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Pan Lena immediately shook his head and said no, no, no, and then said that as far as he knew, the British Concession had not received funds from the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications.
Liu Yimin had long expected that he would say this, and immediately told the time, place, person to hand over the funds, the amount and the place of storage.
Pan Lena saw that the money was unacceptable, so he proposed that the funds were mainly gold bars and silver dollars. At that time, he had a secret agreement with the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications. Representatives of the two banks must come to pick it up in person, and no one else could. This is an industry rule. Who can
It cannot be destroyed either.
Liu Yimin patiently told Pan Lena that the Tianjin Anti-Japanese Democratic Government was entrusted by the two banks to withdraw the funds. At that time, the two banks were only facing the Japanese attack and had no time to transport them away, so they temporarily stored them in the British Concession. Now
, after our army recaptured Tianjin, they naturally wanted to take away this fund. Besides, there is no airtight wall in the world, and the Japanese army will know about it sooner or later. By then, the Japanese army will definitely trace this fund, and it is already very unsafe to leave it in the British Concession.
.
No matter what Liu Yimin said, Pan Lena would not let go.
Liu Yimin thought for a while, this guy caused some trouble a few years ago and rented out a piece of land for 999 years. It can be seen that he is a greedy and veteran invader. If you don't give him some strength, he will not give in.
Taking a sip of red wine, Liu Yimin said slowly: "Mr. Pan Lena, do you know how the people at the Japanese Consulate General in Tianjin are doing now?"
Pan Lena was startled and immediately said: "Dear Liu, don't you want to threaten the diplomats of the United Kingdom? As far as I know, even your Chairman Chiang Kai-shek does not dare to threaten our envoys in my country. Please Respect yourself!"
Liu Yimin slowly twirled his wine glass a few times, without even looking at Pan Lena, and said to himself: "When I joined the Red Army, I went to blow up an artillery battalion position of the National Army alone. I led a
The company dared to attack Bai Chongxi's more than 2,000 elite troops in Guangxi, and led a regiment to fight several battles in one day, wiping out the three most elite divisions of He Jian in Hunan. Chengdu was captured by me, Xi'an was captured by me, and Taiyuan was captured by me.
Tianjin, which I captured, was also recovered by me. The Japanese army was famous for its courage in the military. Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, who directly planned the founding of Manchukuo, was forced by me to commit suicide by caesarean section. I never threaten anyone, but this
No one in the world can ignore what I say. Sometimes, I don’t want to do that, but in this war-torn era, everything is based on strength. Killing a few people quietly is easier than trampling on a few ants.
And I didn’t leave any traces. More than 40,000 of the most elite Japanese soldiers died in my hands, and I wiped out nearly 200,000 national troops. Sometimes, I wonder if I am too
It’s too much, but why are there always so many bad guys with no eyes to hit my gun? When I entered Tianjin, I also thought that the Japanese Consul General in Tianjin was a diplomat after all, and our government had not declared war or severed diplomatic relations with Japan.
, their safety should be protected. Who knew that when I rushed to the Japanese Consulate, their Consul General’s head had been beaten to a bloody pulp by bullets, and I couldn’t tell who it was. I had no choice but to trouble our government to accept another protest from the Japanese government.
.”
As he was about to continue talking, he heard a clang, and Liu Yimin knew that it must be that the goblet in Pan Lena's hand fell to the ground and broke.
Liu Yimin stopped talking, raised his head, and said to Pan Lena with a smile: "Mr. Consul General, please take your time to taste the fine wine and food. I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you." After that, he went to the representatives of the four major foreign banks.
Go.
Pan Lena woke up from a dream. He didn't care about the broken wine glass, let alone whether it was ungentlemanly. His voice became straight: "Dear Liu, no, God, respected General Liu,
Please wait, I have something else to say to you." As he spoke, he chased after her in a panic.
