The so-called conditional surrender of Tianjin is naturally a "condition for officers." Pu Guanshui soon got more detailed content, and Li Runshi took a huge risk to meet the commander of the Tianjin garrison, clarified the situation to him, and brought up the matter of the Eight-Nation Alliance. After the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Tianjin, it was the Japanese army that attacked Tianjin. With Japan's own poverty, they will definitely plunder Tianjin this time. The officers of the Beiyang Army are afraid that they will inevitably suffer.

The fact that the Beiyang commanders, who had little fighting spirit, were able to survive for a few months was really not how determined they were politically. What these people care about most at the moment is the property they have privately divided. After the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army conquered Beijing, these people quickly divided up Beiyang's military salaries and other property. It was only after the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army completely besieged the city that the roads were blocked, and many of the middle-ranking officers among these officers fled by boat because they received less money. The senior officers did not want to flee for their lives, they knew full well that they could not secure their property without the men under their command. These people are like vipers guarding the contents of the cave, unable to walk, unable to escape. Carry these belongings and run to other places, and the money will be divided among other forces.

It was only after some conversation that Li Runshi gained insight into the real worries of these people in the process of "laying out facts and reasoning" with these people. At the moment, the situation was urgent, and Li Runshi promised to protect the personal and property safety of these people. In addition to the overall guarantee of the real estate security of these people, each officer can guarantee the security of different amounts of precious metal currency according to the rank of the officer.

If Li Runshi had guaranteed the safety of all the property of these officers, the suspicious guys of the Beiyang Army would definitely not believe it, but would have guaranteed that they could only ensure a clear amount of precious metal currency, and the desperate Beiyang Army would have to believe it.

With such an agreement, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army quickly gathered the troops in Beiyang who were happy to escape the war, and took over the defense of the whole of Tianjin.

Pu Guanshui was not surprised at all by the rotten bottom line of the Beiyang Army, but he greatly appreciated Li Runshi's astuteness. For this reason, Pu Guanshui specially asked Li Runshi to rush back to Beijing and asked Li Runshi about the disposition of whether the Beiyang Army would be organized and reorganized.

"I know that neither the Central Committee nor the Military Commission wants to absorb the Beiyang Army in a structured way, and I support this view." Li Runshi replied.

Pu Guanshui was afraid that someone would put forward a request to reorganize the Beiyang Army, and seeing that Li Runshi did not get carried away, he agreed very much. "Comrade Li Runshi, the remnants of the Beiyang Army in Shandong are similar to those in Tianjin, and I think their situation is similar to ours. According to the news, of the nearly 200,000 people besieged, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 left. I would like to appoint you to tell the Shandong Military Region about our experience. What do you think? ”

"Resolutely obey the organizational arrangement!" Li Runshi immediately expressed his attitude.

Pu Guanshui knew that he was whipping the fast ox, but there was nothing he could do. "Comrade Li Runshi, let me first reveal to you that no one wants to do the prisoner of war work in Shandong and Hebei, and everyone does not know how to do it. As far as I know, no one wants to fight for this job. I'm going to recommend you to be in charge. If nothing unexpected happens, I think you should be mentally prepared. ”

"I obey the organization!" Li Runshi still replied with a serious attitude.

Watching Li Runshi leave the headquarters with a swift but not hurried pace, Pu Guanshui really couldn't help but admire, and Pu Guanshui couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy. This slight jealousy is not entirely aimed at Li Runshi's talent, but also for the fact that the current People's Party system can provide unlimited space for young people. In the BJP, which has destroyed the old order, countless young people are rising like new stars. They can spread their wings and soar in this new era of drastic change.

Because Pu Guanshui was born in Beiyang, he understood better than the rest of the People's Party how oppressive the old system was, and how terrible the inertia and tradition were. As Zhou Shuren, who served as the president of Beijing First People's Hospital, said, "In the previous era, moving a stool would kill people!" Pu Guanshui was deeply touched by these words.

At present, these young people can rely on their own ability to reach the high position that their predecessors can only reach in more than ten years and decades. This is far from the end of their journey, and there is still infinite space in front of them. This made Pu Guanshui jealous.

Although Pu Guanshui is not yet 40 years old this year, although the real power and status he now holds are almost unmatched by people of the same age in the 200 years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Pu Guanshui still can't help but be jealous of these young people in their twenties, who have a brighter future.

At this moment, Pu Guanshui suddenly remembered Zhang Yu who recommended Li Runshi. Zhang Yu said not long ago, "Chairman Chen doesn't look like a human being." Pu Guanshui suddenly realized this now. Pu Guanshui is jealous, and if he must be self-critical, he can even go online to "jealousy and jealousy". This is the norm for human beings.

Chen Ke has never had such thoughts, at least no comrade has ever thought that Chen Ke has ever had the slightest jealousy. The higher Chen Ke's status, the stronger the strength of the People's Party, and the greater the space that can be provided for comrades to display their abilities.

Pu Guanshui suddenly understood why he sometimes opposed Chen Ke's ideas, but never considered overthrowing Chen Ke's position. For Pu Guanshui and the comrades of the People's Party, as long as Chen Ke sits in the position of leader, everyone will not worry about someone stumbling on him, let alone that everything he has done will be annihilated.

"I've got to learn from this kind of boldness." Puguan made up his mind.

It was as if the heavens had heard Pu Guanshui's thoughts, and the trial came immediately. Field calls came in from the Tianjin front. Pu Guanshui picked up the phone, and after listening for a while, his brows furrowed, "What?!" A regiment of the 38th Army suffered heavy damage under the shelling of the Japanese because it was too far ahead?! Because you are afraid that you will not be able to contact the enemy as soon as possible, you do not obey orders?! What does the commander of the 38th Army eat? Now get that regiment out at once! The head of the regiment was removed from his post and investigated! I will immediately form a front command, and now follow the plan! ”

Angrily withheld the phone, Pu Guanshui's heart boiled with the idea of strict discipline. In the report on the phone, a regiment suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. Of course, there is an element of surprise in this, and the Japanese army may be afraid of street fighting. As a result, indiscriminate shelling was carried out on residential areas near the landing site. However, this situation was considered as early as the campaign of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to conquer Qingdao, and at that time, even if the troops were allowed to run back and forth, there was no situation where the attacking troops were too dense.

Nearly a thousand casualties occurred in less than an hour! Attacking Jinan, where the city is high and the pool is deep, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army has never had such a situation. Not to mention the unilateral suffering of such casualties without even seeing the enemy.

"Arrange the headquarters to a place 50 kilometers away from the seaside of Tianjin. No, 40 km. "The range of the naval guns is 30,000 meters, and Pu Guanshui does not dare to put the command within the range of the enemy's naval guns. It's not that he's afraid of death, it's that once the command is terminated, it will have too much negative impact on the battle.

The thought of severely punishing those commanders boiled in his heart, even though Pu Guanshui knew that this thought would not help the current battle situation, but the anger in his heart could not be described, let alone dispersed. Pu Guanshui's lips tightened, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would blurt out angry scolding. I couldn't bear it, Pu Guanshui stood up and walked to the table, and viciously wrote more than 40 "seeking truth from facts" on the paper, and then felt that his mood calmed down a lot.

"Hurry up the construction of a temporary airport, set up communication lines in the urban area of Tianjin, and start evacuating citizens!" Pu Guanshui commanded loudly.

The General Staff immediately recorded, "What about the deployment of troops?" ”

As soon as he heard the deployment of the troops, Pu Guanshui couldn't help but think of the regiment that had lost its combat effectiveness in vain. He hurriedly wrote "seeking truth from facts" a few more times, which can be regarded as dissipating his anger.

"Adjust the deployment of troops in accordance with the previously developed plan for anti-landing warfare. The front is light and the rear is heavy, and more forward positions and observation posts are arranged. As soon as the enemy sends troops to land, he will immediately carry out a swift strike. Quickly transfer after completing the task. After focusing all his attention on the specific work, Pu Guanshui's anger caused by failure finally disappeared.

After the chief of staff finished taking notes, he asked, "Do you want him to inform the other defense districts about this?" ”

Pu Guanshui replied calmly: "Of course, we must make a notice, and at the same time strengthen the control of traffic lanes." Prevent the enemy from sending small forces to wreak havoc. In addition, the matter of the regiment of the 38th Army was also notified to all units, asking them to adjust their deployment and not to repeat the mistakes of the past and cause meaningless sacrifices. ”

"If we have total control, we don't have enough troops." The chief of staff replied.

Pu Guanshui replied: "If the troops are insufficient, we will use the prisoners of war of the Beiyang Army in the concentration camp to build it." Hasn't it been identified that a considerable part of the Beiyang Army belongs to the ranks of the masses that can be transformed? Dare to use this part of the people. ”

Seeing that the chief of staff was about to make arrangements, Pu Guanshui stopped the chief of staff again, "In addition, we must strengthen patriotic education for this part of the prisoners of war who can be used, now that we are facing foreign invaders, in this matter, we Chinese must stand together and jointly fight against foreign invaders!" This is not our internal dispute in the past, this is a major issue of right and wrong! By the way, tell Comrade Li Runshi that he should not go to Shandong for the first time, and stay here to settle this matter first. As for the Shandong incident, let him decide for himself how to inform the Shandong side. ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff immediately received orders to make arrangements.

Pu Guanshui sat back in his place and began to look at the map. One of the tasks at hand was to determine what the purpose of the Japanese raid on Tianjin was. Only then can we continue to determine our future operational thinking. The initiative was in the hands of the enemy, and this was indeed a situation rarely encountered before.
