Chapter 251: Boiling Tianjin (10)

After receiving Li Yimo's report, Liu Yimin rushed to the airport as soon as possible.

Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Liu Yimin's face was distorted, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped up and down, looking a little hideous.

The result of this battle made Liu Yimin tremble in distress, shooting down 14 enemy planes, damaging 12 enemy planes, and destroying four antiaircraft guns and 6 antiaircraft machine guns in our army. In just half an hour, 547 people were sacrificed, 1,269 were wounded, and the new corps of more than 4,000 people completely collapsed, leaving only the cadres who did not sacrifice to stand pitifully in the cold wind, waiting for the division commander to fall.

The guards who arrived later slowly contained the scattered recruits, but they were no longer in formation, and many of them were terrified, and some of the fighters vomited all their bile. Zhang Haitao, the angry head of the guard, jumped to his feet and scolded that they were all a bunch of eggless goods, and they had lost all the people who taught the instructor.

The division's field hospital had already retreated last night, and so many wounded could only be sent to the major hospitals in Tianjin. Fortunately, there are many large and large hospitals in Tianjin, especially in the concession and church hospitals, and the level of doctors is relatively high, and there is no problem in treating the wounded.

After the guard regiment came up, it immediately began to organize rescue, sending the wounded to major hospitals in Tianjin, and cleaning out the bodies of the martyrs who had died and placing them on stretchers.

Liu Yimin lifted the white cloth on the faces of the martyrs and looked at them carefully: Although most of them were new soldiers who joined the army near Taiyuan, there were also soldiers from the backbone battalion of the Third Guard Battalion and the Artillery Brigade, and many of them were veterans who joined the army in Xiaoshui, Xikou, Qingxi Town, and Chengdu. Looking at it, Liu Yimin was sad, tears gushed out uncontrollably, and he sat on the ground and cried.

As soon as he cried, there was a cry at the airport.

Wu Zheng, who came later, saw that Liu Yimin's emotions were out of control, so he hurriedly pulled him up and whispered: "Division commander, the enemy plane may come again, now is not the time to cry, hurry up and organize the transfer of troops." ”

Liu Yimin woke up in shock, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and ordered the guard regiment to immediately dig a grave on the spot north of the airport to bury the martyrs, and the cadres of the new regiment should clearly remember the names, places of origin, and numbers of the martyrs. Ordered Li Yimo, Han Qianjian, and the head of the new corps, Yan Yaohui, and the political commissar [***] Feng to gather the new soldiers who had been contained, and he wanted to speak.

The cold wind, coupled with the poor performance of the recruits in the fierce battle just now, made the hearts of Li Yimo, Han Qianjian, Yan Yaohui, [***] Feng and others colder than the ice cubes this winter. They know that since Liu Yimin joined the Red Army, he has been invincible, and the only two major casualties occurred in the battle of Yangping Town and the battle of Hanyang Town, but what kind of battle were they? It is a battle to gather and annihilate [***] elites, and the soldiers who sacrificed are all falling in the face of the enemy's guns, which is supremely glorious and incomparably heroic. From the point of view of military science, that little casualty is negligible compared to the brilliant results, and it was a miraculous battle. But in today's battle, most of the casualties and wounded were caused by the rout, and for the elite instructors of our army, who are known as winning all battles, this result is a bit cruel and almost a joke. Li Yimo was so ashamed that he felt as if his figure was a little shorter.

Liu Yimin's mood had quickly returned to calm at this time, and he knew that what the new corps needed most at this time was to unite people's hearts and boost morale, otherwise, this army could be disbanded.

Clearing his throat, Liu Yimin said slowly: "Comrades: Today, the Kwantung Army of the Chinese Army dispatched more than 100 planes to bomb the Tianjin airport, and our newly born air defense unit was not afraid of a strong enemy, fought back with ground firepower, and created a record of shooting down 14 enemy planes and damaging 12 planes. Don't underestimate this figure, let me calculate an account for my comrades, if all units in the country can have such a record, then at least 100 enemy planes will be shot down by the end of this day, or it will not be long before it will be more difficult to find another military plane in the skies of China than it is to find a daughter-in-law who is like a fairy. The reason is very simple, it is said that the speed of this man-made aircraft is fast, but the speed at which he trains pilots is very slow, just like a big girl giving birth to a child, she can't give birth in less than a month. ”

With this, the tense and cold atmosphere at the airport eased a little. At least the hearts of the cadres are a little lighter. I heard Liu Yimin say again: "In the fierce battle just now, the new corps participated in the battle for the first time, and I am very satisfied with such results. However, in the end, many comrades became frightened, timid, threw down their weapons, abandoned their comrades, and fled for their lives like a group of bandits, as a result of which they suffered heavy casualties. This situation is impossible to happen if it were placed in other old units of the instructor. We, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, never surrender to the devils, never abandon their positions without orders, let alone flee and disperse. Even if our soldiers die, they must bite the enemy with their mouths, hit the enemy with their heads, and fight to the death with their hands and feet when they are exhausted. Your actions have smeared and written a trace of shame on the battle flag flying high in the guru, which the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the guru never want to see. Let's think about it, if everyone does not run, but sticks to their positions, the anti-aircraft firepower of the two regiments is enough to form a powerful circle of fire in the sky, and the enemy planes that collide with them will all be crushed to pieces, where will so many people be killed and injured? It was your rout that gave the enemy planes an opportunity to use their firepower and became their targets. Look up and see how our veterans fought the enemy, and did one of them ever leave his combat position? Would they have had such a sacrifice without your dispersion? ”

As Liu Yimin spoke, he thought of the sacrificed baby pimple-like elite soldiers, and his voice was unconsciously angry and high-pitched: "Your behavior is an act of desertion, a shame for soldiers, I feel ashamed for you!" ”

Seeing that some of the new soldiers had lowered their heads and started sobbing, Liu Yimin suddenly became alert, immediately adjusted his mood, took a breath, and said, "Of course, I know, it's not your fault. You are all hot-blooded young people who have just joined the army, and it is normal for you to be afraid and timid when you first go to the battlefield and encounter such a tragic battle. When we were young, we would cry in fright when we saw killing chickens, this is the natural surname of people, there is nothing, and when we grow up and kill chickens and sheep by ourselves, we will not be afraid. If we don't run, don't be timid, stabilize our minds, and do what we do according to the requirements of our usual training, we may be able to kill an enemy plane with a shuttle of bullets. But when we run away, and we have no weapons in our hands, have we not sent ourselves to the guns of the devils, and have become lambs to the slaughter? ”

Time waits for no one, Liu Yimin can't be patient anymore, he glanced back at the messy corpses of overseas Chinese on the airport, and said directly: "It's not terrible to break up once, what I'm afraid of is that those who don't understand that those who flee will die faster than those who insist on fighting." I believe that after this battle, the new soldiers will mature and become qualified soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. I now announce that the establishment of the new instructor regiment will be abolished and the instructor air defense brigade will be established, with Li Yimo as the brigade commander and Han Qianjin as the political commissar. The existing unit is organized into the first air defense regiment, with Yan Yaohui as the regiment commander and [***] Feng as the political commissar. The troops immediately withdrew to the city, took a hidden rest, and withdrew from Tianjin this evening to catch up with the main force. Before leaving, two tasks had to be completed, the first of which was to take all the wounded away and hand them over to the field hospital for further treatment. The second thing is that the death penalty will be carried out on those expatriates who have been found guilty of capital crimes, and that they will all be secretly executed by the recruits of the 1st Air Defense Regiment with bayonets, and no shots will be fired, so as not to disturb the citizens. Did I hear my commands clearly? ”

Except for the cadres and the old soldiers, the voices of the new fighters were sparse and lackluster.

Liu Yimin shouted loudly: "Look at your cowardice, all of them are like no eggs, just take off your military uniform, squat on the ground like a girl, and pee!" ”

When he said this, the old soldiers burst into laughter, and the infected new soldiers slowly raised their heads, and some of them broke into laughter in embarrassment.

Only then did Liu Yimin shout: "Everyone listen to my orders, form a nine-way column, and report the number in line!" ”

The veteran soldiers immediately began to line up, and the cadres immediately took action, pulling and pushing, and soon gathered the new soldiers into the ranks and began to report the numbers.

After the report was completed, Liu Yimin saw that the soldiers' spirits had recovered, so he shouted loudly: "You show Lao Tzu clearly, standing in front of you is the invincible Liu Yimin, it is Liu Yimin who Chiang Kai-shek once offered a reward of 1 million oceans to kill, and it is Liu Yimin who said that the devil has offered a reward of 1 million oceans to kill." If you follow me, you will be able to win the battle and avenge the dead comrades and compatriots. I taught 100,000 elites, all of whom were good men who killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions. Straighten up your chests, straighten your waists, and let me see if you are worthy of being a soldier of the Eighth Route Army! ”

At this time, the old soldiers were full of pride, and their waists were straight. The new fighters were also infected, and consciously or unconsciously puffed up their chests.

Liu Yimin shouted loudly again: "Li Yimo, Han Qianjian, out of the ranks!" ”

Li Yimo's heart turned over at this time, he had already thought about it just now, and after the troops were handed over, he would commit suicide immediately, he couldn't afford to lose this person. Unexpectedly, let the division commander mobilize him, I don't know what others think, his suicidal thoughts immediately disappeared, and all he wanted was to quickly take the troops away for training and build a well-known air defense force as soon as possible. As soon as he heard the division commander's order to go out of the ranks, he hurriedly stepped out with Han Qian, saluted Liu Yimin with a standard military salute, and shouted loudly: "Report to the division commander, teach the instructor Li Yimo, the commander of the air defense brigade, and the political commissar Han Qianqian to report to you, please instruct!" ”

Liu Yimin waved his hand: "Sing "The Big Knife Cuts Off the Devils' Heads", lead the troops to move quickly, and take away all weapons and ammunition. ”

Li Yimo and Han Qianqian immediately turned around after saluting, and soon the song of "the big knife cut off the heads of the devils" sounded in the team, and the cadres rushed to the position with their respective teams and began to move.

Watching the team drive away, Wu Zhengcai said to Liu Yimin: "The division commander, the political commissar and Director Cai have all left with the troops yesterday, and we will all evacuate tonight, are you withdrawing with us today?" ”

Liu Yimin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You have also seen the posture of the enemy plane today, and it is estimated that it will come again." Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the aircraft carrier formation arrives, the sky over North China will be the world of military planes. You must evacuate tonight, and bury the supplies you really can't take with you. We have already made a fortune on this trip, and if we don't leave, we may not be able to keep the results of victory. ”

Wu Zheng saw that Liu Yimin didn't plan to leave, so he was a little anxious, so he said: "Division commander, we have all withdrawn, and you and the guard regiment are here, in case the army is deployed in place, it will be troublesome." They can't walk during the day, and they are likely to be bitten by military planes, so they can only act at night. In this case, if you don't leave today, you will have to wait until tomorrow night. Tomorrow, I don't know what this Tianjin will be bombed by the army? ”

Liu Yimin looked up at the sky and sighed faintly: "Tsunachi Shou will not blow up Tianjin if he is crazy again, that is not in their interests." Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I'm supposed to go. When you retreat, you have to help Li Yimo mobilize some doctors and nurses to accompany him and take all our wounded away. In addition, Tang Xingying and her son will entrust you, as well as Comrade Lin Yueqin's mother and son, all of whom will act with you to ensure their safety. ”

After Wu Zheng agreed, Liu Yimin called Zhang Haitao and asked him to immediately assume the responsibility of Tianjin's city defense and vigilance, and the whole regiment changed into war horses transferred from the second echelon and cavalry brigades, and seized the time to rest and reorganize the troops and wait for orders.

After explaining, Liu Yimin went directly back to the division headquarters of Haiguang Temple.

At Haiguang Temple, Liu Yimin again urgently met with reporters from various radio stations and newspapers to report on the bombing of the Dongjuzi airfield by the Syrian army, and explained that due to the brutality of the Japanese army, all the more than 200 overseas Chinese who were observing the airport were killed and died in the bombing by the Syrian army's planes.

After receiving the telegram from the Kwantung Army Aviation Group informing him that the Tianjin airfield had been completely blown up, Terauchi Shouichi had a smile on his face that he had not seen for many years, and when he saw that every staff officer in the headquarters greeted him with a smile, he also asked if there was a letter from home recently. Is your mother okay? The little staff officers who had all their teeth knocked out by him a few days ago were so frightened that they didn't know that the commander had explained their nerves, and even their mothers greeted them.

General Terauchi Shouichi, who was in a good mood, regained his domineering spirit of being arrogant in all directions, called the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, and directly dictated the order, asking the Kwantung Army to move southward and the Second Army to act quickly, and the group marched forward, and must quickly arrive at Langfang and Cangxian, control the key points, monitor the movements of the Shina instructors in Tianjin, and prepare to encircle Tianjin.

Then he ordered to contact the 6th and 16th Divisions, and ordered them to speed up their sailing, and now that the threat from the air has been lifted, they should no longer enjoy the scenery of the sea slowly and leisurely like a tour, and military law is ruthless.

From the commander's words, Okabe Naosaburo tasted the mentality of His Excellency the commander at this time, so he asked what the combined fleet said?

General Terauchi Shouichi gently twisted his mustache with his hand: "Tell them that if it's too late, the beauties will all be army heroes." Let them do it! ”

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe understood and went to send a telegram with a brisk pace.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Kwantung Army Aviation Group flew to Tianjin again and blew up the Haihe wharf, the Tanggu Marine Corps barracks, the forts, and several city gates of Tangshan. Even Langfang and Cangxian were bombed. Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng, who had already arrived in Cangxian, hurriedly sent a report to Liu Yimin, asking about the situation in Tianjin, and urging Liu Yimin to retreat quickly.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yimin, mayor of Tianjin, made a speech on the radio, calling on the people of Tianjin to take action and do a good job in covert air defense. Liu Yimin once again declared that he would severely punish the Yue army around Tianjin. At the same time, Liu Yimin announced that 600 overseas Chinese had been killed as a result of the bombing by the Japanese army.

After General Terauchi gave the order, he was in a happy mood, and after eating at noon, he went to bed and rested a little. In the afternoon, when I entered the war room, I asked the troops about their progress.

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe told him that it was not going very well. Not to mention the railway, it has long been blown up, the bridges on the highway have basically been blown up, and the troops have to build pontoon bridges while marching, and the speed of the march cannot be raised.

General Terauchi Shouichi said with a smile: "This is a small trick, it can only bring a little trouble to the imperial army, it will not affect the overall situation of the battle, continue to send a telegram to urge, ask them to hurry up, hurry up!" Tell all troops that they must be vigilant against the sneak attack of Liu Yimin's troops, and they must be careful when dealing with this person. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a speech by Liu Yimin, mayor of Tianjin, was heard on the radio, and the headquarters immediately found someone to translate and report it to General Terauchi Shouichi.

After seeing it, General Terauchi Shouichi muttered for a long time before he said to Okabe Naosaburo: "Inform the Kwantung Army Air Group not to bomb the downtown and residential areas of Tianjin, although the losses suffered by these expatriates are nothing, but the country knows that the impact on the army is not good." Don't bomb the station and dock anymore, this Tianjin will be ours soon, and if it is broken, it will have to be rebuilt. You can let them transfer to Taiyuan and Beiping airports, and focus on bombing Jinnan and Xi'an. Jinnan is the main seat of the political axe army of China, and Xi'an is the base camp of [***]. Liu Yimin can come to North China to make trouble, and it would be too embarrassing for us not to take care of his old nest. In addition, urge the base camp, now that the air supremacy in North China is back in our hands, we ask them to deploy the aviation regiment as soon as possible. The Kwantung Army had their tasks, and there were many inconveniences in commanding them. ”

Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo even said that the commander was wise, and also suggested: "Since Liu Yimin keeps saying that he wants to fight a decisive battle with us in Tianjin, why don't we push the boat down the river and let out the rumors that the surname Suo will say that the imperial army is willing to negotiate with Liu Yimin and divide Tianjin into a city under the joint management or non-defense of both sides, and even write a blank check to tell him that the imperial army is willing to cooperate with him to build a prosperous North China." As long as he cooperates with the Imperial Army, we will make him the chairman of the Provisional Political Axe of the Republic of China, and not only the affairs of Tianjin, but the affairs of the whole of China can be handled by him and the Imperial Army. In this way, it can not only paralyze Liu Yimin, so that he will not be frightened and slip away quietly, but also cause the political axe of China, [***] and the people's distrust of him, killing two birds with one stone. I don't know what the commander thinks? ”

Terauchi raised his eyebrows, smacked for a long time, stretched out his hand and slapped Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo on the shoulder, and even said that the chief of staff already has the vision of a politician, and the advice he made was very good. Do it right away, announce it publicly on the radio, and let the whole world know about it. In addition, it is also necessary to announce that the female stars of the movie will organize a delegation to visit Tianjin to express condolences to the brave and warlike General Liu Yimin. It is also necessary to announce that Major General Seiichi Kita, the plenipotentiary representative of General Toshiichi Terauchi, commander of the North China Front Army, will go to Tianjin to express his condolences to General Liu Yimin and discuss with General Liu the specific matters of building a prosperous North China. However, whether Liu Yimin surrenders or not, he can't stay. This person is not in the same position as the imperial army, and even if he surrenders, he will be killed immediately. Continue to send telegrams urging all troops, especially the Combined Fleet, to make sure that they land at Qinhuangdao before the early morning of 31 December, and if they delay the military planes, let them go directly to the emperor to give an explanation.

Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo hung his head and listened to General Terauchi's lecture, gave a military salute and walked out.

Shouichi Terauchi looked at the back of Naosaburo Okabe and muttered to himself: "I really deserve to be a high-achieving student who graduated from Lu University, and a talent of a general!" ”

In the evening, Wu Zheng led the logistics headquarters and the baggage regiment to escort the last batch of supplies, and evacuated Tianjin together with the air defense brigade regiment led by Li Yimo and Han Qianjian.

Under the command of the cadres, groups of young students and skilled workers who had evacuated Tianjin boarded trains and embarked on the journey south.

Tang Xingying cried like tears, and tightly pulled Liu Yimin's hand and did not let go. Liu Yimin knew that his wife was worried about him, so he quietly said into Tang Xingying's ear: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, I'm still waiting for you to give me three more sons?" ”

Tang Xingying cried more and more. Liu Yimin had no choice but to call Tang Xingying's guard squad leader, and asked the soldiers to pull Tang Xingying, hold Xiao Zhenghe, and take Chen Yaoguang and Chen Meisheng on the train.

After Liu Yimin sent the troops away, he returned to the division headquarters, and Li Chengyi sent the content of the radio broadcast of the army that he had received. Rise up and kill the thief, and swear not to be with the thief".

After writing it, he was still angry, and directly wrote "An Open Letter from General Liu Yimin's Guard Battalion Commander Li Chengyi to the Commander of the North China Front Army, Terauchi Shouyi's Old Devil": "The old devil Shouyi in the temple, Lao Tzu is Li Chengyi, and he is the guard battalion commander of my division commander Liu Yimin. If you want to fight, come to fight, Lao Tzu is waiting for you in Tianjin. If you're scared, go back to your mother's arms and breastfeed, and don't throw dirty water on my master. What the fuck let me be your puppet Chairman of the Provisional Political Axe of the Republic of China, that's Han Annihilation, do you understand? If you die, you can't even enter the ancestral grave! What the fuck this movie star came to comfort us, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set. Even if you send the wife and princess of Emperor Moto, it is not uncommon for us to do so. My master said that he thought that Queen Liangzi was too ugly and was afraid of wronging himself. If your old boy is afraid and is willing to lead the devils in North China to surrender to them, compensate for China's war losses, and kowtow to the dead Chinese to apologize, then you are welcome. My master said that as long as you surrender, he will not dislike you because this woman is short, too pale or dark-skinned, and it doesn't matter if you are wronged. You have to think clearly, if you surrender early, it's too late, my division commander will lead us to go straight to Beiping, capture you old devil alive, and skin you and cramp and light the sky lantern. There is no place for you to cry when the time comes! ”

After writing it, I looked at it, smiled, and asked Li Chengyi to take it to the radio station for broadcast.

Li Chengyi is no longer a big man now, and following a talented person like Liu Yimin, he is also smoked to read and write. I took a look at the manuscript, and the four sentences that seemed to be poems and not poems looked very good. Looking at another piece of paper again, it turned out to be like a reckless man scolding, and it was written in his own name, just when he wanted to open his mouth to ask, he realized that the division commander had such a high culture, and there was a ** copy of writing such words, so I had to let myself carry the black pot. After figuring it out, Li Chengyi smiled, such a black pot Lao Tzu was willing to carry it, and happily took the manuscript to contact the radio station.

On this night, radio listeners in North China were blessed to listen to the best radio broadcast of the night.

First of all, the radio station of the North China Front Army in Beiping kept broadcasting the news that the imperial army was preparing to persuade Liu Yimin to surrender, and said that Major General Kita Seiichi, the plenipotentiary representative of General Shouichi Terauchi, was preparing to set off and would arrive in Tianjin tomorrow to negotiate with General Liu Yimin. Yue Jun even dug up the article "The Consulates of Britain, France, and Italy Are Preparing to Negotiate with Yue and Propose to Designate Tianjin as an Undefended City" published in the Tianjin newspaper two days ago, saying that Miss Marlena, an Italian beauty who was good friends with Liu Yimin, was entrusted by General Shouichi Terauchi to take the initiative to approach Liu Yimin. At present, the handsome and dashing and nonsensical General Liu Yimin, because of his admiration for Miss Marlena's peerless beauty and greed for the joy of bed, has already agreed to cooperate with the Imperial Army. As soon as Major General Xi Duocheng arrives, the negotiations will be completed as a matter of course, and peace in North China will be within reach.

Then, the radio station in Tianjin began to refute the lies made up by Yue Jun, and wrote Liu Yimin's "born as a Chinese, died as a Chinese ghost." Rise up and kill Yu Kou, swear not to be with the thief" four sentences were explained, and the open letter of Liu Yi's guard battalion commander Li Chengyi to the commander of the North China Front Army, Terauchi Shouichi, was broadcast over and over again.

Not to be outdone, the military radio station in Beiping even said what Liu Yimin said to Miss Marlena when she was happy with fish and water, and what color underwear Miss Marlena wore on the night of the ball, and it was really the same. So many years later, when a reporter interviewed Qian Zhuangfei, he was still asking whether Miss Marlena was someone else and whether she really had a trace of affection with a certain leader. Qian Zhuangfei had no choice but to tell the reporter, where did he know if there was such a person as Marlena, he didn't think about it so much when he wrote the article, but he just felt that the name Marlena was used very often and it was easy to call, so he made it up. As for the certain leader you mentioned, let me tell you directly: Although Comrade Liu Yimin is much younger than me, he is the most beloved leader of my life with outstanding meritorious service, and he went back to the division headquarters with Comrade Cai Zhong after completing his task that night. He is so busy that he can't even care about hugging his children, where is that possibility? This thing is to confuse the enemy, and it is also needed for struggle. If you kill me, I won't let them write like that.

In the end, many listeners forgot about Shouichi in the temple and Liu Yimin, but remembered Li Chengyi and his rough words clearly. For a long time in the future, those foreign intellectuals in Beiping, Tianjin, and Northeast China who married Yuben's wife felt that they couldn't raise their heads when they went out, and regretted why they were so short-sighted and married a woman who was not uncommon even the commander of the Eighth Route Army. When I went home and took a closer look at my own woman, I felt that the delicate face that looked like a flower and jade seemed to be piled up with powder, and the originally white skin looked a little yellow and black, and I felt more and more mildewy.

Of course, Liu Yimin did not expect this result, nor did Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, who caused this incident.

After Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to go to the press release, he sat down and seriously thought about the incident of the collapse of the new recruits in the air defense headquarters today. First of all, he did not think carefully when he set up the air defense headquarters, knowing that there were not many trainees in the teaching team, and it was basically an empty shelf, and most of the soldiers in the new regiment who had completed their training had already replenished the units in Taiyuan, and the current recruits were basically recruited in Taiyuan, and they were all young people who had just put down their hoes or walked out of the school gate, and they had no combat skills. Although the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were operated by the backbone battalion of the artillery brigade and the third guard battalion, these recruits were basically only responsible for carrying ammunition, and the task was not very difficult. But after all, they are new recruits, they are not well trained, they have never been on the battlefield, and their psychological endurance is limited. In vain, he was called a famous general in a hundred battles by his comrades, and he made such a simple mistake. The second is that the estimation of the sense of revenge against the Yue army is not yet in place, and it was not expected that even the aviation group of the Kwantung Army would dare to dispatch more than 100 planes to bomb Tianjin Airport at one time. If they had known this, they should have let Li Yimo and them withdraw their positions as soon as possible to avoid such a big loss.

Liu Yimin immediately drafted a telegram on the review, reported in detail to the chairman and the General Headquarters on the situation of the defense of Tianjin Airport, and conscientiously examined his mistakes in poor consideration. Finally, Liu Yimin suggested in the telegram: "First, with the continuous growth of our army's ranks, there are more and more recruits, and many recruits rely too hastily on battlefield training alone, and their combat skills cannot be improved, which will inevitably affect their combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is suggested that the central authorities implement a system of rotational combat for troops, that the units left behind in Shaanxi be transferred to the battlefield one after another, and that the new corps of the front-line units be transferred back to Shaanxi for intensive training. In the future, all units with heavy losses in combat will be transferred back to Shaanxi for rotational training and supplementation, or to the rear of the base areas for rotational training and replenishment, so as to ensure the quality of the troops. 2. After the army regains air supremacy in North China, it will inevitably carry out wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Xi'an, and the central authorities are requested to make rapid arrangements in accordance with the original Xi'an air defense plan, evacuate the organs and schools that have not yet been evacuated overnight, and leave the garrison units to make preparations for air defense and firefighting. It is expected that military planes will bomb Xi'an in a short period of time. 3. It is suggested that Liu Yimin be dismissed from his post as president of the Military and Political University, and that another person be assigned to take charge of the expansion of the school's subjects and continue to expand the number of students enrolled. Fourth, the two air units of Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun, which flew back to Shaanxi, should pay close attention to training, especially training fighter formations in air combat, and in the near future, they should mainly focus on covert training and try to avoid air battles with the Chinese army. At the same time, military factories were ordered to develop aviation ammunition. 5. After the instructor to be taught has attracted the enemy's heavy army group to the south, the 115th Division is requested to send troops to the Yanshan Mountains in central Hebei and northern Hebei to establish a base area. The 119th Division was invited to send troops to southern Hebei to echo the instructor. The 120th Division was requested to make every effort to develop the Jinsuicha area and establish a solid base area. The base area established by the Reading Division in Jinzhong should be integrated with the 129th Division in the southeast of Jinjin, expand the strategic depth, and strictly prevent the army from sweeping up. 6. The most important thing in this battle of Tianjin was to weaken the enemy's economic strength. In future operations, our army should take economic warfare into account, compete with the enemy for resources, make it impossible to achieve the goal of nourishing war with war, and force it to shift its strategic direction for the sake of strategic resources, either to attack the Soviet Union in the north, or to go south to clash with the US and British forces. Once the Chinese army goes to war with the Soviet Union or the United States and Britain, the Chinese army will certainly not be an opponent of these countries. At worst, they will suffer losses, and at worst, they will embark on the road to destruction. ”

After writing, give it to the radio station for shooting. Seeing that the time was not early, Liu Yimin was about to go back to his apartment to rest, when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the compound in front of him, and then he heard the combat sentry of the first battalion of guards responsible for the guard task of the division headquarters.

Liu Yimin is a master, this is a master, otherwise the first battalion of guards must be concentrating firepower to destroy the enemy, the reason why there is no gunfire now, it is estimated that the enemy is very good at concealment, and the marksmanship is extremely accurate, and the soldiers may be hit as soon as they show their heads.

Worried about the heavy casualties of the soldiers, Liu Yimin picked up the Bayi automatic rifle hanging on the wall, took two more magazines, opened the door and flashed out.

When I went to the courtyard, Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai were leading a platoon of soldiers to hide around the courtyard, staring at the surroundings.

Seeing Liu Yimin coming out, Huang Wenhu immediately reported in a low voice that two people had evaded the open sentry and the swimming sentry and attacked the division headquarters and were discovered by the secret outpost. But these two men were extremely high-handed, and they moved very quickly, and they not only killed the two of us soldiers who went to the dark sentry, but disappeared into the courtyard in the blink of an eye, and now they are missing. Deputy Regiment Commander Li judged that the enemy's target was you, and he had ordered the entire battalion to enter a combat position, so that you could not leave the war room.

As soon as Liu Yimin heard it, he knew that this was a devil's agent master, and he was a first-class master with good martial arts and marksmanship. If they are allowed to slip away, the reality of the Haiguang Temple military camp will be fully exposed, and the devil will know that Tianjin has become an empty city, and his strategic intentions may be in vain.

Liu Yimin was determined to be sure, so he ordered Huang Wenhu to inform Zhang Haitao that the supplementary battalion should serve as a guard in the urban area, and immediately lead the second battalion, the third battalion, and the troops directly under the regiment to immediately surround the periphery of the barracks, and not let the enemy agents escape. Li Chengyi was informed that the first battalion would use platoons as a unit to search courtyard by courtyard and bomb with grenades and mortars to force the enemy out and rush to the division headquarters. Let the staff officers in the war room not turn off the lights, work normally, and indicate the target to the enemy.

After giving the order, Liu Yimin exerted his strength with his feet, with the help of the courtyard wall, and went up to the roof with a few rubs, where he lay quietly, stretched out his gun, and concentrated on searching for the enemy's traces.

Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka arrived in Tianjin last night.

For masters of their brother and sister's level, no matter how strict Tianjin's city defense is, it will be difficult for them. What's more, in Tianjin at this time, the city wall is dilapidated and there is none, so they are naturally walking on the ground.

After arriving in Tianjin, they arrived at the Italian Concession, and soon learned that the main troops of the instructor seemed to be living in the Yue Concession and the Haiguang Temple Barracks. As soon as the brother and sister analyzed, they judged that the target must be in Haiguang Temple. Because Haiguang Temple is the most well-fortified barracks in Tianjin, it is the aviation of the imperial army, and it will not bomb here without a special order. Even bombing is useless, because there are strong underground bunkers.

Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka stared at the Haiguang Temple barracks all day long, and Liu Yimin's convoy came and went several times, but they didn't have a chance, because the guards were tight, and they couldn't figure out which car the target was sitting in.

In desperation, Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka decided to sneak into the barracks in secret. They are very familiar with it here, and they also know the location of the headquarters of the former imperial army, and they know that the target must also be in the headquarters, after all, it is fully equipped and convenient for command.

When Liu Yimin went to the station to see Tang Xingying and them at night, Kazuo Yamaoka was immediately alert, thinking that the target was to escape from Tianjin, and as soon as he discussed with Keiko, he would follow the target and wait for the opportunity to assassinate. It's a pity that Liu Yimin moved too fast, and after a short stay at the station, he returned to the division headquarters. Before Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka arrived at the station, Liu Yimin's motorcade turned around and returned. They had no choice but to turn around and turn back.

If Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka had arrived at the station and saw the astonishing scene of the Great Transfer, I am afraid that they would have delayed the assassination plan and instead thought of reporting the information on the main movement of the Eighth Route Army in Tianjin to Kita Seiichi.

Of course, even if they see it, they may not be able to figure out whether the main force of the Eighth Route Army has left Tianjin, because the big war is imminent, and defending Tianjin is by no means trapping the city of Tianjin, and both sides may choose and set up battlefields outside the city. The movement of troops could not be more normal. What's more, the supreme commander of this army is still in the headquarters of Haiguang Temple?

Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so they decided to implement the plan to enter the barracks and assassinate them. They had observed very well that there was not only a sentry at the gate, but also heavily guarded machine-gun fire in the fortifications. Of course, they would not be so stupid and enter through the gate, but took advantage of the darkness of the night to cross the wall at a dead end and enter the barracks.

After entering the barracks, the two of them found that the security of this Chinese army was really too tight, not only there were open and mobile posts, but also many secret posts. The two of them relied on their skills and the cover of night to enter the dormitory area of the barracks. Before he could catch his breath, he was discovered by a group of secret sentinels.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka knew that it was impossible to complete the task quietly, so they quickly changed positions, shot and killed two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were standing at the secret sentry, and then hid in the barracks area.

If an ordinary agent sees that his intentions are exposed, the first thing he thinks of is to retreat. But who are Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka, who are the number one people in the army. The so-called artists are bold, not only did the two of them not withdraw, but hid in the barracks, waiting for an opportunity to move, determined to take advantage of the chaos to solve the goal.

In this way, Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka missed the opportunity to get out.

After receiving the order of the division commander from Huang Wenhu, Zhang Haitao acted quickly, immediately commanded the troops to surround the Haiguang Temple barracks, lit torches, and illuminated the surroundings of the barracks. According to Zhang Haitao's words, even if a fly flies out, it will be broken.

Li Chengyi ordered all the electric lights in the barracks to be turned on, each platoon was responsible for a courtyard, one squad was on the roof, two squads were on the ground and house by house, and the fire support squad was then supported. All barracks with no electric lights were greeted with grenades, mortars, and heavy machine guns.

Since then, Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka can't hide, and they were forced to move one courtyard after another, and gradually transferred to the position of Liu Yimin's headquarters.

Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Yamaoka were familiar with Haiguang Temple, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that they were inadvertently forced near the headquarters. The brother and sister looked at each other, and as soon as they flashed, they started and sprinted together, and with the help of the wall, jumped onto the roof of a room next to the headquarters.

Kazuo Yamaoka had just set up his beloved sniper rifle and aimed it at the window of the headquarters. I heard a chuckle coming from the roof of the headquarters opposite, and then I remembered a deep and pleasant voice: "Two handsome people, come here late at night, cold and frosty, Mo Xia came to the contemptible headquarters to drink hot tea and describe the oriental scenery." I don't know what the two of you think? ”

Since Kazuo Yamaoka and Keiko Kamiko debuted, when have they encountered such a strange thing? Kazuo Yamaoka's mood fluctuated, and he directly pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew towards the opposite voice.

According to Kazuo Yamaoka's idea, although this shot does not necessarily kill the other party, it can at least injure him. What Kazuo Yamaoka didn't expect was that at the moment he opened fire, the other party's gun also went off, and the bullet hit his left hand accurately.

The voice on the opposite roof remembered again: "If I were going to kill you, you would have died when you went to the house just now." I see that you are in good hands, and I want to keep you freed from the influence of reactionary militarism and fight with us. I wonder if you two can consider it? ”

Kazuo Yamaoka is not in the mood to be verbose with his opponent, he knows that his opponent is much stronger than himself, damn Seiichi Kita, why didn't he tell himself that his goal was a super master? If you had known that this was the case, you would never have ventured into the barracks, hidden, waited for the opportunity, and then shot yourself with a sniper rifle. But now is not the time to regret it, Kazuo Yamaoka turned his head and whispered to his sister: "Keiko, I'll cover, you withdraw." Tianming met at Tianjin West Gate, and if you can't wait for me, it's my jade broken. Come on! ”

After saying that, Kazuo Yamaoka rolled on the roof, changed positions, and used the ridge as a support, still aiming at the opposite roof.

Keiko Yamaoka already knew that she couldn't leave at this time, and the gunfire just now was an indicator light, revealing their location at once. While the opponents were talking to them, the guards had fenced off the house they were in.

Looking at the surrounding mortars, Keiko Yamaoka smiled sadly and said to Kazuo Yamaoka: "Brother, we missed and can't go!" ”
