September 18, 1940, Peking City
At 12:14, the Peiping underground party cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to blow open the Yongding Gate with directional blasting, and the main force of the 129th Division and the 386th Brigade broke into the city.
At 12:22, the Japanese troops stationed at You'anmen collapsed under the attack of the Sulu War Zone, and Wu Huawen led his troops to occupy You'anmen.
At 12:23, the Third Division of the Shanxi-Sui Army Political Guard climbed onto the Xizhimen Gate Tower and came into close contact with the Japanese army, and a fierce battle broke out.
At 12:30, a section of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, under the cover of aviation fighter planes, approached Chaoyang Gate. Anyway, a certain unit of the Imperial Association Army stationed at Chaoyang Gate was wiped out by the Chinese army, and Chaoyang Gate was occupied by our army.
At 12:35, the main force of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army entered Guangqumen and started a fierce battle with the Japanese troops stationed at Guangqumen.
At 12:40, Yan Huiqing, the former president of the Beiyang government, led part of the Imperial Association Army and Beiyang veterans to revolt and captured Guang'anmen in one fell swoop to welcome the Eighth Route Army into the city.
At 12:41, a 122mm artillery shell fell into the North China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters compound, causing great shock. Okamura Neji issued an order to the Japanese reserve team to implement the "Shield Plan"
At 12:45, more than 10,000 members of the Japanese Volunteer Volunteer Team appeared in front of the Chinese army, driving nearly 100,000 women and children, and began to advance in reverse, using civilians as shields to force our army to retreat.
The frontline troops of the Eighth Route Army immediately launched an in-depth artillery bombardment of the Japanese army in order to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army and frighten the opponent. Sharpshooters from various departments also began to carry out precise attacks on the Japanese volunteers.
Unexpectedly, in the face of our army's attack, the Japanese Volunteer Volunteer Corps actually began to publicly execute civilians. The Japanese commander even threatened that as long as the Eighth Route Army did not withdraw from Peiping City, they would be unable to control the Chinese Resident Volunteer Corps and the massacre would continue.
At the same time, the latest intelligence came from the Peking underground party. The Japanese army had deployed bombs and landmines in key areas of Peiping. Factories, schools, shopping malls, hotels, post offices, power plants, and Japanese volunteers were stationed in all valuable targets. and engineers. Due to insufficient reserves of explosives, the Japanese army has begun to requisition various oils and chemicals stored by merchants in the city. Once the Japanese army carries out blasting, the essence of the entire city will be wiped out.
Even the Japanese volunteer teams were collecting fire starters in residential areas and began to herd residents into areas filled with fire starters, claiming to be for protection, but they were obviously prepared to be destroyed together.
Facing the frantic Japanese army, the deputy commander-in-chief and General Yang had no choice but to issue a retreat order to the frontline troops to regain Peiping. What they were most worried about was causing a large number of civilians to be injured during the attack, but they did not expect the Japanese to be so frantic that they directly Using civilians as human shields, or doing it in public, the old devil Neji Okamura might have gone crazy.
"Damn, if I break into Peiping, I will definitely kill all these idiots!" The speaker was Wu Huawen. He could be said to be full of pride when he was standing on the city gate tower just now. In front of his New Fourth Division, the Japanese army was guarding The troops are simply vulnerable, and continuing to advance north is by no means empty talk.
Unexpectedly, the little devil actually pushed a group of women and children out. If the number was small, Wu Huawen was by no means the kind of indecisive person. He would just kill them. There are no undead people in a war.
But the damn little devil suddenly pushed out tens of thousands of people, all of them women and baby babies. Not only Wu Huawen, but also the veterans on the front line were frightened, and no one could do anything.
"We've fallen short. We can see that the artillery can reach the headquarters in Gangcun." It was General Yang who spoke. Just now, the Jinsui Army had occupied Xizhimen, and Chu Yunfei mounted all the 122mm howitzers on the city wall. , prepared to carry out targeted clearing of the Japs' strongholds in the city, but they soon discovered that there were many civilians tied up around the Japs' strongholds. As long as the artillery fire was fired, civilian casualties would be caused, and they would be of huge numbers, which was the most irritating. What's more, the Japanese also hung a Red Cross flag near the stronghold. Facing the Japanese human shields, Chu Yunfei even launched several rescue operations, but failed to achieve any results. Instead, he lost almost an entire battalion.
"The underground party in Peiping has just received definite news. The Japanese have implemented zoning martial law in the city since yesterday. One of the areas is under their tight control. At first, we didn't know what the Japanese were going to do. We just thought that we were in this area." The intelligence agency was exposed, and now it seems that they wanted to use the common people as human shields. Because the devils were too sudden and too secretive, this information did not have time to be spread." The deputy chief of staff spoke as he The latest intelligence received was handed over to several people present. In joint operations, intelligence sharing is the most basic trust. Because the intelligence could not be obtained in time, the deputy chief of staff still had a trace of apology on his face.
"Our military command Beiping Station will carry out an assassination in Gangcun tonight, and we will need our cover then." At this time, Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the military command Beiping Station, who was sitting in the corner, spoke. Even though Beiping was almost like an iron bucket, But there was no problem at all in ensuring the entry and exit of eight people. It was as if he had driven out of the Bald Eagle Consulate just now.
According to the original history, Liu Wenxiu should have been arrested by the Peking Special High School at this time. It would not be long before he could not bear the torture and would rebel. However, in the past six months, the dazzling changes on the battlefield in North China have also changed his life. offset.
"Are you sure?" the deputy commander asked. Okamura Neiji has gone completely crazy. If he wants to break the current predicament, killing Okamura Neiji may be the only way.
"This is actually a plan that was made early in the morning. We have been preparing for half a year, and we are certain. This time, Shancheng has given a death order to Beiping Station. Even if Beiping Station is completely destroyed tonight, it will be destroyed. Okamura Neiji." Liu Wenxiu spoke in a very calm tone. He came back sooner or later this day. Even if he died in battle, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of opening and closing his eyes. Although it is a waste to use agents as commandos, but now they There was no choice left. If the destruction of the military unification of Peiping could be exchanged for the vitality of millions of citizens, they would be willing to sacrifice.
"Are there enough manpower? If necessary, the Peiping Underground Party can also support you." The deputy chief of staff said. The Peiping Underground Party also formulated a related assassination plan. However, after repeated deductions, the chance of winning was not great, so it was shelved for the time being. Yes, but the superior also gave an order to kill Okamura Neji at all costs as long as there is a chance.
"That's enough. When the 29th Army abandoned the city, many patriotic officers and soldiers stayed behind. Nearly a thousand people were gathered at Peking Station, plus some veterans from the old Beiyang and the former Qing Dynasty. There were more than 2,000 professional soldiers alone, plus The Qing Gang's masters and our people can dispatch 3,000 people at a time, which is enough. If there are more, the city will not be able to expand." Liu Wenxiu never thought that he, a military commander, would have the opportunity to command such a large force. A battle of this scale, with more than 3,000 people, is nothing more than a miscellaneous division of the national army. Thinking of this, a ray of light shines in Gujing Wubo's eyes. A soldier, even if he dies, will still die. As it should be.
"Where are the weapons and equipment?" the deputy commander asked. He was very angry. The boss wanted to kill Gangcun more than anyone else. He had no friendship with the old devil. He was neither a classmate nor an old friend. He just did it.
"There are enough firearms and ammunition. They are all high-quality products from the Daku Factory. They are better than the equipment of the Central Army. We still have a former chemical cannon and four 88mm field guns. If possible, I hope to start After that, your department's cover can be more powerful." Liu Wenxiu waved his hand, weapons and equipment, there is no shortage of them at the Military Command Beiping Station. Most of the weapons and equipment left by the Northeast Army and Northwest Army in Peiping have been transferred to them in recent years. They are all trying to find ways to escape outside the city.
"No problem!" The deputy commander's response was simple. Even if this had not happened, they would have consumed the Japanese troops piecemeal, looking for fighter planes. Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, and they would not end up like this. Withdrawn?
Some people died, but not completely...
