After Liu Yimin delivered his New Year's Day greetings on the radio, he just returned to the division headquarters and received telegrams from Hu Laohu and Lei Ming.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin calculated that the 10th Division and the 108th Division arrived in Cang County, and the Kwantung Army went south to Langfang. The Japanese local reinforcements landed on Qinhuangdao should end the landing at this time, and I am afraid that they will also start to advance towards Tianjin.
It seems that at the latest, the Kwantung Army will arrive in Tianjin at around 7 pm, and the 10th Division will not be much later.
Liu Yimin called Zhang Haitao and ordered that all the soldiers standing guard on duty should be removed, and all the others should hurry up and rest and evacuate Tianjin on time at 6 pm.
What should Zhang Haitao do if there are still some Japanese overseas Chinese?
Liu Yimin knew that Zhang Haitao was talking about ordinary expatriates who had no serious crimes. They were originally used to deter the Japanese army from bombing Tianjin. Now they have achieved their goal. Japanese aircraft did not dare to bomb Tianjin's commercial areas and residential areas. The role of these Japanese overseas Chinese
It was done. According to the original idea, it was to take away these expatriates when retreating and exchange them for money and ammunition with the Japanese army. But now the situation has changed, and the enemy army is about to encircle, and the task of the guard regiment is to defend itself and break through.
It is obviously unwise to bring these expatriates with you. Liu Yimin sighed and had to tell Zhang Haitao to temporarily take care of the detention, carry out necessary ideological education, and let it go when retreating.
After Zhang Haitao left, Liu Yimin met with reporters from several radio stations in Tianjin, including reporters from the Three Kingdoms Concession Radio Station, informing our army that the main force of the 39th Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army was eliminated in Cang County and the first Japanese Army was eliminated in Langfang.
The battle report of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Division and guaranteed that our army would continue to attack the enemy around Tianjin and severely damage the enemy.
A reporter asked: Since our army has achieved such a victory, can we tell the people of Tianjin that our army will hold on to Tianjin and live and die with Tianjin?
Liu Yimin thought about it and replied carefully: "Although our army won two battles, the balance of strength between the enemy and us has not changed much, and the enemy is still strong and we are weak. The War of Resistance Against Japan is a long-term war, not a battle once or twice.
Only when our people are awakened, unite consciously, and actively fight against the enemy can we completely change the situation of our enemy and us. Judging from the current situation, our army's defending Tianjin can only bring sacrifices to the people of Tianjin and
Disaster. Therefore, our army should fight against the enemy around Tianjin, and even lead the war to the northeast, establish a base between the Baishan and the Black Water, and deal with the enemy in the vast northeast land."
Speaking of this, Liu Yimin glanced at the reporter and continued, "Maybe you don't know, now, the Kwantung Army in the Northeast has since drawn three divisions to join the North China battlefield, and now it has concentrated the other main forces to go south, trying to intercept our army to go north.
Channel. It can be said that at this time, the Japanese army's forces were extremely empty. If our main force broke through the Kwantung Army blockade and entered the Northeast, the Kwantung Army's forces in the Northeast will be eradicated in a short time. In addition, our army has sympathy
Cooperation with the powerful Soviet Red Army that supported our country's anti-Japanese war will likely lead to a situation of sweeping across the Northeast. At that time, the little Japanese will have no place to cry!"
Liu Yimin's words immediately attracted the attention of several concession journalists, one of the Italian concession radio stations immediately asked: "General Liu, what do you mean is that you are going to lead your troops to attack Manchukuo?"
Liu Yimin looked at the Italian reporter meaningfully and said with a smile: "Mr. Journalist, first of all, I want to correct your term. Your Manchukuo statement is incorrect. There is no Manchukuo, it is our Northeast.
The Japanese practice of supporting the puppet regime and splitting Northeast China is very despicable and shameless, and is destined to be impossible to succeed. I am a soldier, and it is my responsibility and obligation to regain lost territory and defend the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty. However,
This is a military secret, and I cannot answer you directly, please forgive me.”
The Italian reporter nodded and then asked: "General Liu, as far as I know, the Japanese army has very strong combat power. The 39th Regiment of the 10th Division is an elite force. I don't know how many troops your troops have used to destroy them
?”
Liu Yimin thought this guy was very cute. He asked questions that he wanted to know some inside information, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Reporter, I have no choice but to give me the advice of how many troops you used. However, I can tell you.
The most elite unit in the Japanese army was the Fifth Division. Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, who led the Fifth Division, committed suicide because we destroyed his main 21st Brigade. I want to tell those Japanese devils through your radio station
The division commanders, during the Long March of the Red Army, I led the troops as the rear guard of the entire army. At that time, I told the generals of the National Army who were pursuing us that no one's troops could approach our rear guard 200 miles.
Otherwise, our army will definitely annihilate it. This sentence also adapts to today's Anti-Japanese War, which is where my teacher is. If the Japanese army does not want to be annihilated, they will keep a distance of 200 miles from our army's rear guard. Otherwise, no matter if he is the first one.
The 10th Division is still the sixth, and the 16th Division will be wiped out. I never speak loudly, please report my words. However, I have to remind those Japanese division commanders that next time, the
Our army would probably not have the honor of Seishiro Itagaki. Itagaki could commit suicide, so they would probably have to separate their heads and bodies. Because I have an idea, if the heads of these Japanese generals who invaded China were cut off and made into specimens
If it is, it can be placed in our Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall in the future, which can enrich the collections of the memorial hall and better warn future generations."
The Italian reporter was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, the reporter continued to ask: "General Liu, please forgive me for your own fault. You look very noble and well-educated. If I hadn't heard these words with my own ears, I heard these words with my own ears
, I can't believe it's really amazing to come from the mouth of a gentleman like you."
Liu Yimin smiled: "Mr. Reporter, if your motherland is invaded by Japanese devils, you will understand that a true gentleman is not only elegant in front of his friends, but also particularly able to fight in front of the enemy, making the enemy frightened. If these are the cases,
The invaders are afraid of their heads and bodies, so they go back to Japan. Since they dare to invade China, they must be killed and captured. I also want to ask you to write in the report that I am in Tianjin.
If Soichi Tetsuchi of Teraunuchi is genital, he will personally lead his troops to attack Tianjin. I will be here to wait for him!"
After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he no longer accepted questions from reporters and asked the reporters to go back and write and publish the article as soon as possible.
At noon, the two bosses, Chairman Zhou, Vice Chairman Zhu Peng and Luo Ronghuan, sent telegrams one after another.
The chairman said in the telegram that the instructor has completed the task gloriously. Combining all aspects of intelligence, the Japanese army's siege of Tianjin was astonishingly huge, and Liu Yimin and the guard regiment were already at the center of the storm. The problem now is not how to expand the results of the war, but how to
A security breakthrough. I hope Comrade Liu Yimin can consider the overall situation of the War of Resistance, preserve a useful body for the revolution, and quickly lead the guard regiment to break through, and then change will occur later.
Vice Chairman Zhou’s telegram is very simple: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
The telegram from the two bosses Zhu Peng was even more direct: The Japanese invaders must not be allowed to capture such a high-level general in our army. It would be a major loss for the entire nation. We cannot afford this loss.
Luo Ronghuan's telegram was also very short, with only one sentence: "The whole army was eager to see the division commander break through successfully."
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin knew that the leader and his comrades were very concerned about their safety, so he called one by one, indicating that he was scheduled to evacuate Tianjin at 6 pm. Because it was not too early, if it was too early, it would be bitten by the Japanese plane.
In the afternoon, all the radio stations in Tianjin reported Liu Yimin's conversation, focusing on teaching the two Japanese corpses and Liu Yimin said they might lead the army to fight to the Northeast. Among them, radio stations from the concessions of Britain, France and Italy also held discussions. Please
Military officers from the consulate deduced the feasibility of Liu Yimin's march into the Northeast.
General Takaichi Teraunuchi learned through radio broadcast that the First Cavalry Regiment and the 39th Regiment of the 1st Division were severely damaged. He was a little unbelievable, so he sent a message to the two troops to verify the situation. The answer he received
The general Shouyi of the Temple was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. He ordered all troops to take action quickly and encircle Tianjin as soon as possible. In any case, he would annihilate Liu Yiming's democratic forces in Tianjin.
General Kenyoshi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, received valuable information from the radio station in Tianjin. First, Liu Yimin's ministry might have traveled to the northeast, and second, Liu Yimin's ministry might have colluded with the Soviets to win over the Soviets to attack the northeast. Therefore, Kenyoshi Ueda
General Jilin sent an urgent telegram of 100,000 to the base camp, strongly demanding that the Kwantung Army go south to return the Kwantung Army's system to ensure the security of the Northeast.
After receiving a telegram from Kenyoshi Ueda, the Japanese base camp conducted a serious analysis and concluded that the instructor must be eliminated in Tianjin. If he allowed him to travel to the northeast, there would be endless troubles. Therefore, the base camp sternly questioned Soichi Tezuka,
Why did the army with hundreds of thousands of troops slow to move? Does the North China Front Army and the unlucky Earl of Shouyi in the Temple have the ability to restore public order in North China? It forced the Temple like a tiger locked in a cage and was restless in the headquarters.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, there were continuous explosions coming from the Tianjin General Station.
Liu Yimin immediately called various radio stations, newspapers and consulates from various countries, saying that two senior Japanese agents of a man and a woman had mixed into Tianjin and blew up the Tianjin headquarters. The instructor had shot him dead. I hope that all radio stations would tell the people from all walks of life in Tianjin immediately and be vigilant.
, strictly prevent the destruction of the Japanese army, and ask embassies and consulates of various countries to maintain the public security in the concessions and not give the Japanese devils an opportunity to take advantage of.
After making the phone call, Liu Yimin ordered Li Chengyi to hand over the printed "Letter to the People of Tianjin" to the comrades who left behind the hidden struggle, and prepared to send it to the masses after the instructor evacuated.
At 5:30, the instructor guard group gathered quietly and gathered at the Haiguang Temple barracks, waiting for orders to set off.
At 6 o'clock, it was already dark. The huge Tianjin was shrouded in the cold winter, and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, only restaurants and taverns were still lively as usual.
Liu Yimin, wearing the uniform of a Japanese cavalry colonel, walked out of the headquarters and came to the neat team of the guard regiment. He looked at the soldiers dressed in Japanese and said softly, "Go!" and then got on the horse first and led the guards.
The regiment left the Haiguang Temple barracks and rushed towards Jinghai.
