Chapter 709: The Japanese Army Withdraws from Beiping
March 12, 1944. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Beiping.
The Japanese sensed that an opportunity had come.
They analyzed this chaotic intelligence and concluded that the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Coalition Army had set off smoke screens in Shanxi and Hebei.
They believe that this is the usual tactic of the Northeast Coalition Army, desperately propagandizing on one battlefield but focusing on other places. This time, they are clearly promoting Shanxi, focusing on Shandong.
The appearance of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Coalition Army in Shandong is the evidence. Even if Commander-in-Chief Lu is a stand-in, his wife will not have a stand-in. The two of them basically did not leave, which was the basis for judging that Commander-in-Chief Lu was indeed in Shandong.
They didn't want to fight with the Japanese army in Shanxi, because there was also the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan next to them, and there was the central army in the south of Jin and the north of Henan. Yan'an's intention was to make peace with Yan Xishan and let the central army and the imperial army fight to the death.
The Northeast Coalition Army has semi-strategically focused on reinforcing the Shandong battlefield, and although the Northeast Coalition Army left behind still has a great advantage in numbers, it should be, no, it must be a created phenomenon. The real number is not as much as before, it is estimated that the ratio of the imperial army and the Northeast coalition army is now one to two to one to three, although there is no ability to fight a war, but there is no problem in breaking through.
Now, the Northeast Coalition Army has surrounded the southeast and west, Shunyi in the northeast has been firmly occupied, and the imperial army in Beiping has broken through, and there is only one road in the northwest. They surrounded Beiping, but left a road, which just reflected their true intentions.
The Japanese army obtained information again, and the Northeast Coalition Army invited two professors, Liang Sicheng and Lin Weiyin, from the Southwest Associated University, and asked them to mark the ancient buildings of Beiping. The Northeast Coalition Army wanted to attack the city, and when it was shelled, it was necessary to avoid the destruction of ancient buildings by artillery.
In this regard, the Northeast Coalition Army did not deliberately hide it in a low-key manner, and the two professors were picked up by plane.
In the newspaper, the radio also published and broadcast the two professors hovering over Beiping on a plane to introduce the ancient buildings of Beiping to the staff officers of the Northeast Coalition Army.
Well, let's retreat and go to Shanxi. Fortunately, we have a tacit understanding with Yan Xishan. The Central Army of Jinnan? Their attitude is not known to the Eighth Route Army, but we do know.
As early as 1941, Wei Lihuang was deprived of military power by Lao Chiang and transferred out of the First Theater because of his close cooperation with the Eighth Route Army. Later, he was appointed commander of the expeditionary force, and was immediately removed because of his close ties with Yan'an, and because of the ineffective operation of the expeditionary force, he was reinstated.
At present, Henan's army is under the control of Hu Zongnan, the commander of the First Theater of Operations. Hu Zongnan's eyes were staring at Yan'an, where did he have the heart to fight to the death with Shanxi? Henan Theater? Townenburg? The imperial army in Central China is gathering to destroy him.
Naosaburo Okabe of Beiping also thought that he could evacuate Beiping and move into Shanxi.
The word zhuan jin was learned from Chongqing, and turning around and moving forward is Chongqing's great contribution to the Chinese language. To say retreat in this word, it actually persuaded the base camp. Now, the imperial army in the Central Plains is preparing to completely annihilate Tang Enbo, which gives hope to Shanxi.
Beiping, Hebei is no longer good, rather than fighting to break the net, it is better to enter Shanxi. Because of the interruption of communication with the Tokyo base camp, the telegram transferred from Shanxi that the main force of the North China garrison army could be transferred to the Taiyuan line in Shanxi.
The time is ripe.
In the morning, the Beiping Command issued an order: from now on, the army will withdraw from Beiping overnight.
In the morning, all the Japanese barracks, positions began to move.
In the afternoon, the police of Beiping were dispatched throughout the city, martial law was imposed in the whole city, all pedestrians were driven back, and peaceful residents were not allowed to walk around the streets. If there is a violator, it will be killed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese troops in various places around Peiping began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
The mid-level officers who called for a fight to the death last month have been wiped out in sporadic battles around Peiping, and those who have survived are the supporters of the evacuation. With the order of the base camp, no one sent the right to evacuate.
Preparations for evacuation have been prepared for a long time, and the other day the supplies have already begun to be loaded. Today, when an order was issued, which unit went first, which way to go, was in good order.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the large army had already withdrawn and arrived at the northwest suburbs of Beiping City. The headquarters has arrived in Changping.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, martial law was lifted in Beiping City. Only a small number of Japanese military police units maintained order in Peiping.
Later, the Northeast Coalition Army summarized the data on the withdrawal of Japanese troops through the photos of the plane, and could not help but sigh greatly. The command demanded that the entire evacuation process be documented and included in textbooks. This evacuated organization is too classic.
March 12, 1944. Peiping. Xizhimen Railway Station.
On this night, uneasiness spread among the Japanese residents of Peiping. At the same time, this uneasiness is also spreading among people close to the Japanese.
These people are well-informed people, and they all know that the imperial army is leaving. Three months ago, some Japanese had already evacuated Beiping and transferred their property, some went to Shanghai, some went to Nanjing, and some even returned to Japan.
Before and after the fall of Tianjin, there were many people who left by train, and those who went to Shanxi, Shanghai, and Wuhan were all there.
Now, those who didn't leave were relatively weak, and there was a long queue in front of the ticket gates. The people in line knew at a glance that it was a subordinate, a servant, and they could see it at a glance. However, the ones in the window are all ruffians. They teamed up to occupy the ticket window.
Many people have not yet bought their tickets and arrive at the station with their families. I want to go, I want to go, I want to go to Shanxi.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the Xizhimen Railway Station was crowded with people, and the open space in front of the station and even on the main road were full of people waiting to leave. The station was almost out of order, and only a handful of staff were barely making ends meet.
Night, March 12, 1944. Peiping. No. 11, Badaowan, Xinjiekou. Zhou Zhai.
Xinjiekou is not far from Xizhimen, and there are vaguely many people passing by from the Xizhimen Inner Street in the north, walking out of Xizhimen, and Yongxiang Station.
Badaowan Hutong is very secluded. No. 11 is a house shared by the three brothers of the Zhou family. Now, the second brother of the Zhou family, Zhou Zuoren, lives here.
The eldest brother of the Zhou family is called Zhou Shuren, and the third brother is called Zhou Jianren, all three of them are very talented cultural people, and the three of them are very thoughtful. The eldest uses his mother's surname Lu and his pen name Lu Xun. The third brother, Jianren, because his two elder brothers went out to study, stayed at home to serve his mother, and was self-taught, teaching in some schools.
Later, in 1919, the two elder brothers were in Beiping's house, the third brother followed his mother to Beiping, in 1920 he audited philosophy at Peking University, and the following year he was introduced by Hu Shi to the Commercial Press as an editor, and then gradually taught at several universities. His face is very powerful, called Qiao Feng, which is the name of South Murong and North Qiao Feng.
After Lu Xun left, only the second brother Zhou Zuoren remained at home in Beiping.
Sakuto and Kento brothers married a Japanese woman, and these two people are sisters.
The wife of the man is called Yuta Nobuko, who is the elder sister, and the wife of the builder is called Yuta Yoshiko, who is the younger sister. My sister is strong, she quarrels at every turn, and she faints, so she and her second brother have been living together.
And her sister broke up with her third brother, she insisted on living in Beiping, being with her sister, refusing to go to Shanghai with her third brother, and finally divorced. Although Yutai Fangzi and her third brother are divorced, she has been with her three children (the eldest son died young), has been with her sister and brother-in-law, lives in Beiping, and lives in Badaowan Hutong.
After the eldest brother and the third brother left, they were left in Badaowan. It should be said that the old mother of the three brothers of the Zhou family, Lu Shi, is also in Badaowan and lives with her Japanese daughter-in-law.
Compared with the eldest brother, some hot-blooded literary youths agree more with the second brother and the third brother: If we Chinese young people marry all Japanese women, then, it will be easy to do, and it will be a victory.
It's just that the Japanese woman married by the second brother gave him a very bad influence.
The second brother Zhou Zuoren is a traitor.
