Chapter 237: A Winter Night in Eastern Hebei (1)
Jidong faces the Bohai Sea, and in winter, it is extremely cold. Especially at night, the sea breeze blows, making the temperature a few degrees lower than in other places.
Liu Jianli commanded the second echelon of the Mountain Artillery Regiment, the Medium Mortar Regiment, the Second Brigade of the Jiao, and the Sixth Brigade of the Jiao Brigade since the occupation of Taiyuan, and quickly divided the troops to clear the periphery of Tianjin. Then let Zhang Hongtao command the Sixth Brigade and the medium mortar regiment to attack Baodi County, and he led the mountain artillery regiment and the second brigade to Tangshan.
Tangshan is named after Dacheng Mountain. In 645 AD, on the way back from the Eastern Expedition to Korea, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, garrisoned troops at Dacheng Mountain. Because of the illness of Concubine Cao, Dacheng Mountain was named Tangshan.
At this time, Tangshan was called Tangshan Town. However, due to the construction of a large number of industrial and mining enterprises such as the Kaiping Coal Mine, Tangshan's position was prominent, and the economic aggregate was much larger than that of many counties in China at that time. Therefore, in 33 years, the National Government approved the establishment of the Luanyu Administrative Inspector's Office in Tangshan, which together with the Jimi Administrative Inspector's Office in Tongxian County, was in charge of the affairs of 22 counties in eastern Hebei. At present, the puppet Hebei East Defense Communist Autonomous Political Axe is located in Tangshan. Later, the puppet Republic of China Provisional Political Axe took a fancy to this and established Tangshan City in 1938.
In fact, when the puppet Republic of China political axe was established in December, it was decided to merge Yin Rugeng's puppet Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Axe into it. But Yin Rugeng, the old man, understood that this was because he saw that he had lost his use value, so he crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go to Beiping or Tianjin, nor was he in a hurry to merge with Wang Kemin, and he was still entrenched in the eastern Hebei region, shouting at five and drinking six, and claiming to be the king and hegemon.
The instructor occupied Tianjin at 3 o'clock in the morning today, and after the plateau occupied Tanggu, he continued to disguise the army and strictly seal the news, Yin Rugeng and his Han minions still do not know that Tianjin and Tanggu have changed hands, and an elite army is coming to Tangshan, and the target is Yin Rugeng and his puppet regime and puppet security team.
This Yin Rugeng is a native of Jinxiang Town, Cangnan, Zhejiang, and studied in this book in his early years, but his behavior was too bad, so that his brother Yin Ruli cut off relations with him. But Chiang Kai-shek took a fancy to him and often appointed him to negotiate with him. As a result, negotiations came and went, Chiang Kai-shek was saddled with the notoriety of signing traitorous treaties, but Yin Rugeng became a lackey on whom he relied very much. In 1933, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Yin Rugeng to negotiate with Yue Ben, signed the infamous "Tanggu Agreement", and appointed Yin Rugeng as the commissioner of the Jimi Administrative Inspectorate's Office. At this time, Yin Rugeng became his spokesperson and watchdog in North China. In the 35th year, Yin Rugeng, with the support of Yue himself, forced away Tao Shangming, the commissioner of the Luanyu Administrative Inspector Commissioner's Office, who refused to attach himself to him, and took office as the commissioner of the Luanyu Administrative Inspector's Office.
At the end of 35, under the planning of Yue himself, he launched the Eastern Hebei Incident, announced that he would break away from the central government and implement autonomy, and set up a puppet Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Autonomous Political Axe, stationed in Tong County, and completely turned himself into a Han annihilation. Later, during the July 7 Incident, the First and Second Security Corps stationed in Tongxian County, led by Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, eliminated more than 500 Yue troops, annihilated the families of overseas Chinese, and captured Yin Rugeng. Although Yin Rugeng was lucky to be robbed by the Yue army on the way, he no longer trusted him and his security team, and Yin Rugeng did not dare to stay in Tongzhou, and while announcing his resignation, he moved his puppet political axe to Tangshan.
On the evening of the 24th, Yin Rugeng and several of his minions drank some wine together, and several people at the wine table were indignant, thinking that the imperial army was too unfair to Chairman Yin. Why should the autonomous political axe of the Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Party be merged into the provisional political axe of the Republic of China, and why should Wang Kemin be allowed to preside over the major politics instead of Chairman Yin, who is loyal to the many imperial armies and has made great contributions, to preside over the major political affairs?
After drinking and drinking, several people said that as soon as they went to Beiping in the future, the economic construction of eastern Hebei would be completely completed in the past few years, and it would become a cash cow for Wang Kemin's political axe.
Yin Rugeng knew that a few old guys were reluctant to interrupt their financial journey, why shouldn't he? However, Wang Kemin has been studying in this book for a long time, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is afraid of offending the master of Yueben, knowing that he is ruthless, and if he disobeys a little, he doesn't know how he died. Besides, none of these of my own have anything to do with him, and I have to be careful when I talk to them, in case something wrong reaches the ears of the consultant, I will not be able to eat and walk away. Therefore, Yin Rugeng diligently persuaded him to drink while eating vegetables, and repeatedly reviewed that because of his own incompetence, the tired brothers were also given a cold shoulder by the imperial army. However, he would like to report the brothers' loyalty to the Imperial Army to His Excellency General Toshiichi Terauchi and His Excellency Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe, and implore the Imperial Army to properly settle the brothers.
Yin Rugeng said this, the atmosphere on the table was a little better, the pseudo security director Liu Zongji took a big sip of wine, put down the wine glass and said that the chairman was interesting, and then scolded the security captain Shen Weigan, Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, saying that if it weren't for these guys who turned against the water before the battle, offended the imperial army, and greatly damaged the strength of the security team, where would it be Wang Kemin's turn to come out and deceive. It's good now, not only is the security corps in tatters, but even the political axe agency can't be saved, and the brothers don't know where to beg for food in the future!
Yin Rugeng hurriedly stood up, poured wine, touched a full glass with Liu Zongji, and once again swore that he would see His Excellency the Shoichi General of the Temple no matter what, and he would definitely ask him not to treat everyone badly for the sake of the brothers who had been working for the Great Empire for many years. Liu Zongji didn't say anything more, a few people were having fun, and after drinking, they found a Qingyin small class to fool around, and then dispersed.
Yin Rugeng returned home, took off his military uniform, and called the servants to fetch water and soak their feet. Unexpectedly, the servant's hot water did not come, and his wife's reprimand came up on the ground, and he reprimanded Yin Rugeng so much that his head slipped down, and he said Hai Yi repeatedly.
After his wife twisted her big ass and tried her best in the bedroom, Yin Rugeng remembered that today was probably not a good day, and let her wife scold her when she entered the door. When I remembered that after the Tongzhou Incident, the army had put him in a detention center, and that the wife of the head of the secret service who was killed in the Tongzhou Incident accused him of communicating with the officers and soldiers anyway and trying to put him to death.
The more he thought about it, the more upset Yin Rugeng became, and he didn't wait for the hot water to soak his feet, so he walked directly into the bedroom, pushed his wife to the bed, stripped off his clothes and pounced on him. Thinking in my heart, these dogs said that when I saw that Lao Tzu was unlucky, I wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, okay, Lao Tzu will your women, and see which of us suffers! Unexpectedly, the thing was like a dead chicken baby, soft and collapsed, and it was not angry at all. Let his wife rub it around, but there is no rooster singing white. Later, his wife got angry, kicked him off the bed, and laughed at him that it was better to raise a male dog than to raise him, and the male dog was more effective than him.
Yin Rugeng felt that this person was unlucky, and even the second child bullied himself. Embarrassed, he walked out of the bedroom, sat down in front of the charcoal brazier in the living room, poured a glass of sake, and thought about his thoughts while drinking.
Thinking about it, I felt that I had to think of a way to hurry up and meet General Shouichi Terauchi, so as to find a good position in the political axe of the Republic of China in the next step, and not let Wang Kemin's old pervert take advantage of it. However, I heard that Shouyi Terauchi often went to Wang Kemin's house for a period of time, and it is said that several concubines of the Wang family were very popular with the earl of Terauchi. It's a pity that his wife looks at it too closely, and she can't even accept a concubine, and she can't be filial to the earl in the temple if she wants to be honored.
Thinking that there was no other way but to impress the earl of the temple with gold bars. As long as I don't completely abandon myself and get a good position, what is the money? Maybe you can make a comeback with an opportunity, let alone eastern Hebei, and even several provinces in North China have to listen to themselves.
The more he thought about it, the more beautiful Yin Rugeng fell asleep on the chair in the living room.
In the bleak winter night, Yang Guang, the head of the Sixth Sect, and Zhang Zili, the political commissar of the Sixth Sect, led the team to finally arrive near Tangshan.
After setting out from Taiyuan, although the road was far away, the troops could rest day and night, and the soldiers did not feel particularly tired. However, since Duliu began to attack Tianjin, the Second Brigade has been advancing non-stop. Originally, the railway could have been used to transfer troops, but in order to complete the task assigned by the division headquarters to sweep away the enemy and puppet forces on the periphery of Tianjin, the troops basically divided their troops in multiple ways and pushed them in a fan-shaped shape. In this way, the puppet regime was uprooted, and the troops were exhausted.
Because the location of the Sixth Regiment was close to the Tangshan side, it was considered to have arrived in advance. The 4th Regiment, the 5th Regiment, the 2nd New Regiment, the Supplementary Regiment, and the Mountain Artillery Regiment and Brigade Commanders are still on the road.
After asking the comrades led by the underground party about the strength of the puppet army in Tangshan, Yang Guang learned that there was no garrison in Tangshan and eastern Hebei, only Yin Rugeng's security team. However, the security team and the puppet government axe departments and counties are equipped with advisers. All the power is in the hands of this consultant. Originally, there were more than 10,000 people in the security team, but after the Tongzhou incident, most of the security teams went south with the 29th Army anyway, and now although the security team is constantly recruiting, the number is only 5 or 6,000 people. They live in Tangshan, Tanggu and eastern Hebei counties.
Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, where is the use of the whole brigade, a regiment can sweep the eastern part of Hebei.
Yang Guang immediately ordered the regimental reconnaissance platoon to immediately reconnoiter Tangshan, and it was best to catch his tongue and come back. According to the underground party comrades, there was no garrison of the Yue army in the entire eastern Hebei region except for the port, and only Yin Rugeng, who was equipped with advisers to the army, was stationed in the puppet autonomous political axe security team of the Eastern Hebei Defense Communists, and a reconnaissance platoon had been sent to conduct reconnaissance, and the brigade commander was asked for permission to teach the Sixth Regiment to immediately camouflage the army to attack the city.
When Liu Jianjian received the report, it was still two hours away from Tangshan, and when he saw that Yang Guangguang reported that there was no army and only a security team, Liu Jianjian hated and scolded Xiao Yue for bullying people in his mother, and in the huge eastern Ji region, he did not even leave garrison troops and let a group of Han annihilation come to watch over their homes for them, and the whole brigade of such an elite unit of the Second Brigade of the Second Brigade was attacked for a long distance, and it was simply not afraid of the Chinese as human beings, nor was he afraid of a fire in the backyard.
Considering that although the security team has a certain combat effectiveness, it is definitely not the opponent of the Sixth Regiment, not to mention that the troops are wearing military uniforms and camouflaging the army to attack, and it is impossible for the security team to fight against the army. Liu Jianli decisively ordered Yang Guang and Zhang Zili to lead six regiments to disguise the army and immediately attack and occupy Tangshan. Remember to catch Yin Rugeng, the leader of the Han Dynasty.
Not long after receiving the order, the reconnaissance platoon scratched its tongue and interrogated it, and the situation was basically the same as that introduced by the underground party comrades. Yang Guang immediately made arrangements, the regimental fire support battalion set up a position outside the west gate, ready to provide fire support, the third battalion made a detour to the south gate and the east gate to ambush, the first battalion disguised the army to enter the city from the west gate, and the second battalion disguised the army to enter the city from the north gate. The rest of the regiment's direct subordinate units were led by the political commissar and entered the city with the first battalion. If there is no resistance after entering the city, they will go straight to the security office and the barracks of the security team, and after solving the security team, they will capture the location of the puppet Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Government Axe and the railway station. Then divide the troops to capture the Kaiping coal mine and other key points. If they encounter resistance when entering the city, they will blow open the city gate with bazookas and explosives packs under the cover of artillery fire, and resolutely attack the center, destroy the enemy's will to resist in one fell swoop, and quickly capture the prisoners.
After Yang Guang's combat deployment was completed, Zhang Zili made a brief combat mobilization and told the cadres that since the establishment of the Sixth Regiment, although it has gone through the tests of great battles and vicious battles, this is the first time that it has fought in eastern Hebei, and it must be clean and neat and completely annihilate the enemy.
After saying that, he ordered the battalions to move separately and attack on time at half past eleven o'clock in the evening.
At this time, even Yin Rugeng didn't know the news of the instructor's attack on Tianjin and Tanggu, and how could the soldiers of the security team standing guard at the city gate know. Therefore, when the first battalion of the Sixth Regiment of the Sixth Regiment came to the West City Gate with a plaster flag, wearing a military uniform, and swaggering with a flashlight, they went up directly and shouted to someone to open the door.
The soldiers of the security team standing guard had already slept at this time, and the soldiers of the first battalion shouted for a long time and no one answered, so they simply smashed the door with the butt of their guns.
The army was not verbose, and directly asked the interpreter to tell the soldiers of the security team that the imperial army was chasing a group of bandits from China, passing by here, and needed to rest, so that the soldiers standing guard took the imperial army to the security barracks.
The squad leader of the security team with the guard took a look and found that the imperial army was indeed tired, so he didn't ask any more questions, and told the sentries not to sleep, the imperial army was coming, and they had to stand guard well, so they led the imperial army to the barracks.
The squad leader of the security team didn't notice it, he walked in front, and the imperial army behind him confiscated the sentries' guns, tied them up sturdily, and threw them in the city gate building. The sentry posts at the gate were also replaced by all Imperial soldiers. Then, another group of imperial troops poured into the city gates.
The situation at the north gate is similar to that at the west gate, and it is not to blame that the security guards are not vigilant. Because of Yin Rugeng's first enslavement education in eastern Hebei, many people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out, especially after the Tongzhou incident, the soldiers of the security team were terrified when they mentioned the imperial army, for fear of accidentally offending the imperial army.
In this way, the Sixth Regiment entered Tangshan.
