Chapter 713: Enter the City! Enter the city!
March 14, 1944. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info early in the morning. Peiping.
The artillery fire of the Northeast Coalition Army shelled the fortifications of the three suburbs in the southeast, east and west of Beiping. The shelling was sparse and lasted more than ten minutes. After dawn, several planes flew over Beiping, circled for several weeks, and determined that the Japanese troops had withdrawn from Beiping overnight, and left Beijing by train from the Xizhimen Railway Station in the northwest.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Northeast Coalition Army cleared the few Japanese troops blocking the city defense positions. At noon, the army surrounded Beiping, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole Beiping was recovered.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Northeast Coalition Army Radio Station released a news that the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army had recovered Beiping, and a small number of Beiping defenders had been annihilated, and most of them took the initiative to retreat and leave Beiping. The Northeast Coalition is searching for the whereabouts of the Japanese army.
People from all walks of life do not understand, did the Japanese army retreat on their own initiative? If not, why hasn't a vicious war been fought? If so, why? It is rumored that last night, all the places where the Japanese troops were stationed were under military control, and the sound of Japanese cars rang all night in the city, and the voices heard by the people in the northwest corner of Beiping City did not stop until this morning.
There are also new rumors that the Japanese army has been withdrawing from the city for a long time, and many Japanese have been gone for a few days.
Throughout the day, the soldiers of Beiping City searched everywhere for the remnants of the Japanese army. Search for the pseudo-police, search for traitors. On the street, from time to time, a group of soldiers of the Northeast Coalition Army escorted the traitors past.
That night, someone had already notified each other, relatives and neighbors, saying that the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, and the army would enter the city tomorrow. In addition, the underground party began to organize people to prepare for the celebration in the streets tomorrow.
The next morning, some people took to the streets, cheering for the recovery of Beiping. Some people took out the firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers rang out.
In the morning, the Northeast Coalition Army and the Eighth Route Army held a ceremony to enter the city, and infantry, special combat teams, cavalry, artillery, rocket troops, tank troops, engineers, and automobile transport troops entered Beiping City one by one.
A middle-aged man walked down the street, as if happy, and raised his hand and shouted slogans with everyone. After walking a few steps, I saw an alley next to it, and walked in. There was no one in the alley, and the middle-aged man's face changed, and his happy smile gradually stiffened and disappeared.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, he muttered: "What kind of people spontaneously welcome into the city, it is obviously organized by the underground party, otherwise where did this colorful flag come from, so many slogans made of colored paper!" Hungry and hungry, and still have the heart to welcome the army into the city? ”
He slammed his mouth shut: there was a man in front of him.
Leaving the alley, he entered another street. It's also being celebrated, but on a much smaller scale. After crossing the street, he entered a large courtyard and entered one of the rooms.
There was a man and a woman in the room, and when they saw him, they said, "Stationmaster Ma, you are back." What do we do next? "He is Ma Hansan, the stationmaster of Beiping Station.
Ma Hansan: "I just got instructions: Chongqing is ready to send more people into Beiping and Hebei provinces. In addition, the old man was arguing with Yan'an, and soon, we sent some chiefs to manage Beiping. ”
The man said, "Stationmaster, there is no army, we still have to do underground work." When will the army come in? ”
Ma Hansan: "Shanxi's second war zone is about to recover the whole of Shanxi. Fu Zuoyi's Suiyuan situation is also very good. The two of them will soon be stationed in Beiping. ”
The subordinates were excited.
After a brief meeting and assignments, Ma Hansan returned to his room, sat on a chair, and was silent for a while.
He was worried that Boss Dai was coming back.
He once helped him and stored the Nine Dragons Sword, but was later captured by the Japanese and used the sword in exchange for freedom. Recently, he took advantage of the chaos to snatch the sword back from Yoshiko Kawashima and promised to spare Yoshiko Kawashima's life. But if you think about it carefully, there are loopholes in the end.
It's okay to return the sword to Boss Dai, but if the matter of falling into the hands of the Japanese fails, it will be a big trouble. In this matter, the subordinates are okay and will not tell the truth, but what about Yoshiko Kawashima?
She should have been killed in the first place.
It's too late to kill now, I'm going to do it myself.
Thinking of this, he stood up, took out his pistol, checked the bullets, and walked out.
When he arrives at Yoshiko Kawashima's house and sees the lock on the door, he doesn't believe she can leave. Jumping in and walking from the courtyard wall, I saw that the yard was messy, and the house was even more messy, so I knew that Yoshiko Kawashima had run away.
Where did she go? I hope she can return to Japan. May she be safe and not fall into anyone's hands.
The troops entering the city walked a few blocks and finally entered the barracks.
At noon, a mixed convoy of jeeps and sedans entered Beiping City and drove directly to the courtyard of Cuimingzhuang.
Xiaolu got out of a black car, opened the back door of the car, and Liang Sicheng and Lin Weiyin got out of the car.
Xiaolu said: "Two gentlemen, it was very pleasant to chat with them along the way. The residence and office are prepared for you, and the two of you will live in Cuimingzhuang. I know that the two of you are still here, and if you want to go back, you can ask the headquarters to send a bus. Now, there are a lot of things here in Beiping, and maybe the two experts will be busy for a while. Do you guys take a break? ”
Liang Sicheng said: "Okay." Thank you very much for that. ”
Lin Weiyin said: "Commander Lu, let's talk about the school first. ”
Xiaolu said: "Yes, then go to the small conference room first." ”
The three of them sat down and said, "Mr. Lin, your idea is to move the school back as soon as possible?" ”
Lin Weiyin said: "Yes." This time you picked us up, and the school asked us to talk to you about it this morning. We'd better get an answer sooner. ”
Xiaolu said: "Yesterday, we have cleared out the stragglers in Beiping, some traitors have also been arrested, and the Beiping City Military Management Committee has been established, and the mayor is General Ye Jianying, and General Ye has now exercised the authority of city management. Regarding the relocation of the university, I think that the conditions are ripe for the return of the university at all times. As for the university, Northeastern University has moved back one after another after the liberation of Northeast China, and now, the Northeast People's Government provides funds for the running of universities in Northeast China, and it is running smoothly. Other universities can follow the experience of Northeastern University. Tianjin University has already sent professors to negotiate with the people's government about their return. I think that a few universities are far away in the southwest, and we can fly out to bring back the advanced personnel, and the rest of the professors, staff, students, and books and equipment will not be so fast. In a word, it is suggested that we use the experience of Northeastern University, like Tianjin University, that the university send someone as soon as possible to arrange the specific matters of going home to the university. ”
Lin Weiyin: "That's very good. ”
Xiaolu said: "When the school comes back, we can raise funds, and the school will be up and running first. If Chongqing does not allocate funds, our government in the northeast will bear it. The two gentlemen are also requested to tell the school to eliminate their worries. ”
Lin Weiyin: "Okay. ”
Liang Sicheng said: "I have one thing to ask you. ”
Xiaolu said: "Sir, please command." ”
Liang Sicheng said: "Professor Zhou Zuoren, there are some other professors left behind, what are you going to do?" ”
Xiaolu said: "We have been in contact with him a long time ago, and he decided not to run with the Japanese. We said that as long as he helps stabilize the situation in the school, even if he has merit, he can be punished. Since he didn't run, he stayed at home first. Last year, before Mr. Lu Xun died, he was still talking about Professor Zhou Zuoren. My idea is to let him stay at home and draw the ground as a prison. We're not going to catch him either. Wait until his matter is investigated clearly, and there is a public opinion. ”
Mr. Lu Xun died in Chongqing only last year because of his good medicine.
Liang Sicheng said: "That's good." ”
Xiaolu said: "Don't worry, we won't be reckless." We already have experience in entering the city, and the rules for entering the city are very strict. Some people spread rumors that we kill indiscriminately. In fact, our military discipline can be said to be the strictest in the world. This is the rule of entry into the city, please take a look. In addition, the mayor, General Ye Jianying, wants to see you. As you know, I specially recommend you two to serve as senators of the city management committee, and I would like to ask you to contribute to the city management. As he spoke, he took out a copy of the rules for entering the city and said, "Please take a look at the two of you, if there is anything inappropriate, we can modify it." ”
Liang Sicheng said: "It is incumbent. He began to read the rules of the city, and after a while, he said, "Very good." ”
Xiao Lu left them and went straight to the large conference room. At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Detai introduced the battle situation: "At present, our army has completely occupied Beiping. The Japanese still occupy Changping, but their large forces have already left the railroad and have begun to take the mountain road towards Shanxi. ”
General Ye, the new mayor of Beiping and chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, said: "What is the position of their vanguard troops? ”
Wang Detai said: "Here." The vanguard will soon be almost unable to move, for we have already begun to deploy harassment forces here, and they have blown many holes in the road and the railroad tracks have been torn down. The speed of the Japanese will be extremely slow. ”
Xiaolu said: "Have our troops entered the predetermined position?" ”
Yang Jingyu: "An hour ago, five thousand people had already entered the position. Thirty thousand people will arrive tonight. ”
Xiaolu said: "Our troops need to intensify their pursuit. Yan'an has already received these situations, right? ”
Wang Detai said: "I got it." It is estimated that there will be a reply soon. ”
Xiaolu said: "I would like to inform you about the problem of material supply. This is the report, so I won't go into details. As of today, all the supplies of the troops preparing to attack the Japanese army in North China have been replenished, the supplies from Shanxi are still being transported, and the supplies from Shandong are being transported by sea. ”
Yang Jingyu: "What about aerial bombs? This is the key to this campaign. ”
Xiaolu said: "If you see that Commander Liu's face is not in a hurry, you will know that the aerial bombs are ready." ”
Air Force Commander Liu: "I'm not too much. ”
Xiaolu said: "Mayor Ye must be the same concern as me. ”
Mayor Ye said: "Food! ”

1. During the Battle of Pingjin, the headquarters once pulled Liang Lin and marked the location of the ancient buildings in Beiping. During the Japanese bombing of Japan, Liang Sicheng also marked the location of ancient buildings in Nara, Kyoto, Japan, for the U.S. military. For this, the Japanese are grateful to Liang Sicheng. Once, the Japanese talked about this matter with Liang Sicheng's son, and Liang Sicheng's son said: Several people in my family were killed by the Japanese, and it was not easy for my father to make this decision.
