After receiving Liu Yimin's good news, [***] immediately wrote hard and drafted the "Supplementary Instructions of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission on the Work of Our Army after Occupying Tianjin", pointing out: "The victory of our army in recovering Tianjin this time is mainly due to the proper use of tactics and accurate timing, and also due to the excessive arrogance of the army. By no means our army is strong enough to resist the heavy army group! In this regard, we must ask all comrades of the Tianjin Front CPC Committee to keep a sober understanding and never have a heart of pride in underestimating the enemy. The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly mobilize our party's forces in Hebei and Tianjin, quickly eradicate the puppet forces, suppress the Han annihilation, and transfer materials. In order to ensure the fulfillment of the above-mentioned tasks, the central authorities believe that: 1. After occupying Tanggu, Jinghai, and Cangxian, it is necessary to actively attack with powerful troops to wipe out all the remnants of the enemy in the suburbs of Tianjin and the eastern Hebei region, so as to lay the foundation for further mobilizing the masses and creating local armed forces; Second, to open up the contact with the Lu Zhengying Department in Jizhong Province with a strong one, and supplement the department; 3. Feint in the direction of Beiping with one section, causing the main force of our army to attack Beiping on a large scale, forcing the enemy's defenders in Beiping to further shrink and expand the space for our army's activities; 4. After completing the first and second tasks, the main force will assemble and rest near Jinpu Road to prepare for dealing with the heavy army group that the army has returned to support, and strive to annihilate one or two brigades and regiments of the enemy; 5. After the above tasks are completed, the material transfer is completed, and the various routes of the army are mobilized to return to Tianjin, the main force of the instructor can go south to Shandong, but one must be left to stick to the armed struggle in eastern Hebei and establish a base area in Tianjin and Hebei; Sixth, it is necessary to pay strict attention to the dynamics of the Chinese army, prevent the joint attack of the heavy army group and the air force of the Chinese army, and the transfer of materials should be concealed and fast, and some heavy equipment that is inconvenient for transfer can be temporarily buried on the spot, and then transferred after the military action of the Syrian army with a retaliatory surname is over. ”

After writing, [***] put down the brush, asked Ye Jianying to take it to send the report immediately, stood up and rubbed his eyes, and said to Zhou En's with a smile: "Okay, you can sleep well, it's all caused by Liu Yimin, this little guy, caused us to wait all night in fear." Go back, tell Chen Yun that the wine given to Liu Yimin by the boss of Moutai will not be given to him, and all of them will be left in Xi'an, which can be regarded as a little compensation from Liu Yimin to us! ”

When Zhou Enlai heard this, he said: "The chairman can't bully honest people, I think Liu Yimin should be left a little." It turned out that he was given twenty catties, and then he was given ten catties. However, to be honest, I hope that Liu Yimin will cause trouble for me every day! This time, I don't know which general is going to apologize. ”

[***] Hehe smiled: "Needless to say, it must be the commander of the North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi." Last time he found a scapegoat, but this time all the Yue troops in Tianjin were wiped out, and it was not so easy for him to find a scapegoat. If he doesn't disembowel, who will disembowel? ”

Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said: "This temple has a very thick face, and if he wants him to commit suicide by disembowelment, it is not enough to attack and occupy Tianjin, if Liu Yimin's bombing of the Yuejun airfield can be successful, maybe there is still some possibility." If the results of the bombing of the military airfield are not great, Terauchi Shouichi is likely to mobilize a large army to retake Tianjin soon, and he will put gold on his face when the time comes. ”

[***] said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, Terauchi Shouichi doesn't die this time, and he can die next time, or even die or not." As long as the instructors are in full swing in eastern Hebei, the chess game in Tianjin and eastern Hebei will be fully activated, and the rural areas there may become our base areas or guerrilla areas in the future. The only thing I am worried about is that the army will retaliate against the common people, and this point must be carefully studied. Well, today's events can be considered to hold the knot. I'm going to sleep, let Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan worry about the rest. ”

After speaking, [***] and Zhou Enlai left the war room one after another and went back to the living room to rest.

After receiving the telegram from [***], Liu Yimin truly understood the chairman's strategic thinking. According to Liu Yimin's original idea, the occupation of Tianjin was only for the strategic materials of the army in Tianjin and to lay the foundation for the establishment of the Shandong base area. However, the chairman's idea is to use the instructors as a strategic mobile force, and to take advantage of the opportunity of the instructors in Tianjin to clear as many obstacles as possible for the future war of resistance in eastern and central Hebei and to expand the strategic area of our army. According to later generations, the chairman is a standard ride-hailing price increase, but Liu Yimin is willing. Because strategically speaking, this is the best time to develop eastern Hebei. Besides, Tangshan also has a pseudo-Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Political Axe of Yin Rugeng! Liu Yimin will never let go of this notorious Han Annihilation.

Liu Yimin immediately adjusted the deployment and ordered Liu Jianli to command the second echelon, quickly divide the troops, and use the regiment as a unit to sweep away all the puppet regimes in the periphery of Tianjin and the Tangshan area, and must destroy the puppet Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Political Axe and its security team of the Han Dynasty and Yin Rugeng, and destroy the northern section of Tangshan of the Tangjin Railway; ordered Yao Yilin to immediately report to the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, transfer cadres, and follow Liu to establish a second-echelon operation, quickly establish a regime to resist the Ming Cook in the eastern Hebei region, and form local armed forces; The cavalry brigade was ordered to break away from the first echelon, concentrate on rest and recuperation in the western suburbs of Tianjin, and then form a western front group with the 4th Brigade of the Leiming Sect and the 8th Brigade of the Zhaoshanjiao Brigade, under the command of Zeng Zhongsheng, chief of staff, and strive to clear the puppet forces between Tianjin and central Hebei and Beiping before the heavy army group of the Chinese army returned to help, and the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment, which originally belonged to the third echelon, was assigned to the command of the Western Front Group, and the cavalry brigade, the 8th Brigade of Jiaojiao, and the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment first had to capture Langfang, cut off the connection between Pingping and Tianjin, and force the enemy to shrink to Beiping, and then spread out in the direction of central Hebei by branching roads. At the same time, a report was sent to the headquarters, requesting the headquarters to order the Jizhong troops led by Lu Zhengying to cooperate with the action.

After adjusting the deployment, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan sat at the headquarters of the military and waited for the various units to report on their progress.

Tanggu is the combined name of Beitang and Dagu, Beitang is on the north bank of the Haihe River, and Dagu is on the south bank of the 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 entering the sea. After the diversion of the Yellow River, because it is the mouth of the Haihe River, it is of strategic significance and has the reputation of the gateway to Gyeonggi, and in modern times, it has become the main battlefield of the Chinese people to resist the aggression of imperialist powers.

Since Tianjin was opened up as a treaty port in the north, Tanggu's shipping industry has developed unprecedentedly, becoming the cradle of modern industry in the north, and refined salt and soda ash are well-known all over the world.

The sneak attack on Tanggu finally turned into an attack on Tanggu, which greatly surprised Liu Yimin.

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 Railway Station, and then left the cavalry brigade, and sent the vanguard unit and the second regiment of the 1st Brigade to go straight to Tanggu by train, and he commanded the follow-up troops to rush to Tanggu by car, boat, and horseback.

Zhao Dahe, the commander of the Second Regiment, and Sun Manxi, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, were both veterans of the Red Army who fought all the way out of the original 18th Regiment, and they had a deep understanding of Liu Yimin's tactical thinking.

At the beginning, everything went well, Tanggu is about 100 miles away from Tianjin, the train speed is OK, at seven o'clock in the morning, the second regiment has entered Tanggu station. Without any trouble, the troops stationed at the station were soon dead.

The second regiment, under the guidance of the underground party guide, quickly rushed to the Marine Corps barracks of the Yue Army, controlled the barracks with two battalions, and one battalion went to capture the patrol boats of the Yue Army.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, China's only naval forces were transferred to the Yangtze River, and there was not a single Chinese naval ship in North China. Naturally, the army and navy will not waste their energy in Tanggu. However, due to the important position of Tanggu, the navy is in the normal need of maritime patrols, and there is a small formation of only six patrol boats stationed here, and a marine brigade of more than 600 people is stationed here.

At half past seven in the morning, the commander of the third battalion of the 2nd Regiment led the troops disguised as the Japanese army to the dock and was about to board the boat.

There were only six patrol boats, and there were no superfluous people except for the soldiers on duty. According to the imagination of the soldiers, such a large cargo ship is controlled, what is this small patrol boat.

In fact, something did go wrong with the little patrol boat. The soldiers did not know that the relationship between the Navy and the Army was very complicated, and under normal circumstances, the Navy simply ignored the Army's stubble. So when the fighters wanted to board the patrol boat, they were immediately refused. Seeing that it had no effect, as soon as the commander of the third battalion waved his hand, the soldiers rushed up, ready to stab all the soldiers on duty on the six patrol boats to death.

Unfortunately, when the soldiers forcibly boarded the boat, the soldiers on guard of the patrol boat had already seen that something was wrong and immediately opened fire to warn them. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the soldiers of the third battalion naturally took action, and soon the guns and bullets were fired in unison, eliminating these vigilant soldiers.

This alarmed the marines, and the devils immediately realized that the [***] team came out of nowhere to disguise the imperial army and sneak attacked, and soon entered the combat state and began to shoot at the second regiment that rushed to the door of the barracks.

Seeing that the sneak attack could not succeed, Zhao Dahe immediately made a decision and ordered the first and second battalions to organize a firepower attack and resolutely destroy the enemy. The third battalion served as a guard for other points.

Seeing that the [***] team was very strong, the commander of the army immediately asked for help from other troops in Tanggu and the Tianjin garrison, and commanded the troops to rely on the fortifications in the barracks to confront the second regiment.

At this time, the army units stationed in Tanggu and the puppet Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Political Axe Security Team all dispatched reinforcements to reinforce the Marine Corps and flank the Second Regiment.

Zhao Dahe saw that the enemy's fortifications were strong and the casualties in the assault were heavy, so he decided to leave the second battalion to monitor the besieging marines, and he commanded the first battalion and the third battalion to eliminate the devils and security forces who rushed to reinforce them.

There were not many devils for reinforcements, only about 300 people, but there were two armored vehicles. The security team is quite large, about 500 people. The second regiment turned around and attacked to reinforce the enemy, and the bazooka knocked out the devil's armored car.

Seeing that the [***] team had strong firepower, the devil immediately began to move to the defense. At this moment, Zhao Dahe had no choice but to calm down and gnaw on the bones.
