After dinner, the commanders of the columns left Shenyang by plane, train, car, or horseback and returned to the troops to command the battle.

Tang Xiuer's life finally came to an end.

Li Lingfeng attended the meeting that night, and after the meeting ended, he went directly to the place where the guards had detained Tang Xiu'er, and asked her if she had any last words and relics that needed to be transferred. If so, give 10 minutes to process.

Tang Xiu'er's martial arts are slightly higher than Li Lingfeng, but she has been seriously injured by Liu Yimin, and she was shackled and handcuffed again, and she withered to the ground.

This Dongying princess is indeed strong, Tang Xiu'er did not beg for mercy, nor did she express her willingness to cooperate with our army, but only offered to take a bath and change clothes and end her life in the way of a samurai.

Luo Ronghuan's order was to execute Tang Xiu'er immediately, and did not say how to execute her. Li Lingfeng fulfilled Tang Xiu'er's wish, ordered someone to bring hot water, and let Tang Xiu'er take a bath. I put on a brand new kimono. Tang Xiuer cut off a lock of green silk, wrote a sentence of death, and asked the Eighth Route Army to transfer it to the Japanese imperial family through the Red Cross.

When she was dying, Tang Xiuer suddenly asked Li Lingfeng a question that no one could have thought of, that is, if there was no damn war, would Liu Yimin fall in love with her?

Li Lingfeng didn't bother to answer her. Tang Xiu'er closed her eyes in regret.

After Liu Yimin saw off the cadres of each column, he returned to his office and discussed the issue of how to dig tunnels with Chen Shiqu, commander of the 10th Column, and Ren Chaoran, commander of the Engineer Command, who had left him to wait.

In fact, Liu Yimin was the two engineer experts who instructed our army with knowledge in later generations.

Shanhaiguan guards the throat of North China and Northeast China, and is a must-attack place for the Japanese army in North China to cooperate with the Kwantung Army. Liu Yimin has already said at the meeting of the Northeast Bureau that it is necessary to ensure that the Beining line is not lost. If you want to complete this task, you must stick to the front line of Shanhaiguan. And to defend Shanhaiguan, it is not enough to rely only on the surface position. It could not withstand the bombardment of Japanese artillery and aircraft bombing. The only way is to adopt the tunnel tactics of our volunteers in history to defend Shangganling, and repeatedly fight with the Japanese invaders.

Chen Shiqu and Ren Chaoran are both engineering experts, and they have both experienced tunnel warfare in Shandong, but tunnel warfare is a new topic, and they have only seen it in the defense chapter of the Red Army's infantry contract tactics compiled by Liu Yimin, and they have not really practiced it.

Liu Yimin took a pencil, drew a sketch of the tunnel operation on paper, and explained in detail the excavation of the tunnel, the camouflage of the tunnel mouth, the facilities in the tunnel, and how to combine the tunnel with the ground fortifications. Wait until he finishes talking and drawing. Chen Shiqu and Ren Chaoran saw that it was a chicken-claw-shaped tunnel fortification system that could fight, defend, maneuver, and live.

Putting down the pencil, Liu Yimin said to Chen Shiqu and Ren Chaoran: "Go back and issue a unified construction standard for tunnel fortifications to ensure that the tunnel fortifications meet the seven defenses: air defense, artillery prevention, anti-virus epidemic, rain-proof, moisture-proof, fire-proof, and cold-proof." Inside the tunnel, you can cook and go to the toilet. As long as you reach these seven defenses, don't say it's a little devil, even if the enemy is several times more powerful than the little devil, there is nothing you can do with us! ”

Chen Shiqu frowned and said, "I'm afraid that far water can't quench our thirst, and we don't have time to complete such a tunnel work." ”

Chen Shiqu was telling the truth, the Japanese army was about to launch a large-scale counterattack, and there was really no time to engage in large-scale fortification construction. However, if you want to hold the Shanhaiguan defense line, it is not enough to carry out fortification construction.

Liu Yimin has already thought about this matter maturely, and he told Chen Shiqu that one is to dig the cat's ear hole first, and then string the cat's ear hole one by one to form a simple tunnel fortification. digging while fighting, and gradually forming a solid tunnel fortification; The other is to use the original tunnels of Shanhaiguan City Defense to expand. Combining the fortifications of the Great Wall with the tunnels can also strengthen the defensive positions.

After sending Chen Shiqu and Ren Chao away, Liu Yimin met with Wu Zheng, commander of the Logistics Command and commander of the Railway Corps, Yang Zhicheng, political commissar of the Logistics Command, and Lin Bo, deputy political commissar of the Logistics Command and political commissar of the Railway Corps.

Our army captured Shenyang, there were too many things and too complicated, Liu Yimin couldn't do everything, and he couldn't be busy with him tired to death. He could only meet the leaders of all quarters and give guidance and supervision, and his main energy had to be put on military affairs, and he spoke around the elimination of the main force of the Kwantung Army.

Liu Yimin has a special affection for the logistics command, which has always been built and managed as a core department. Not only military production, but also all the funds of Liu Yimin's ministry are managed by the logistics headquarters. It can be said that from the Red Eighteenth Regiment to the current Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance, Wu Zheng has always been the big steward.

After Wu Zheng, Yang Zhicheng, and Lin Bo came in, Wu Zheng first reported on the arrangements and arrangements made by Shenyang, Dalian, Lushun, Jinzhou, Pulandian, Wafangdian, Liaoyang, and other cities and counties. After the report, Wu Zheng said happily: "Commander, the Kwantung Army is too rich, and we have found a lot of warehouses of the Kwantung Army in Dalian, Lushun, and Shenyang, which contain everything, weapons and ammunition, military uniforms and cloths, rice and white flour, 38 big covers, 92-type heavy machine guns, light machine guns, artillery shells, bullets, and grenades, all stacked in whole boxes. This time, we can expand the army in a big way, and according to preliminary estimates, there is no problem in forming another column. ”

Liu Yimin interrupted Wu Zheng: "Little family! The Kwantung Army has been operating in the Northeast for decades, and its surviving family base can only arm one column? If only one column could be armed, the Kwantung Army would not dare to start a Japanese-Soviet war! The Shenyang area is the base camp of the Northeast Army, and the Luda area is the base camp of the Kwantung Army, find me. At the very least, we must find weapons and equipment that can arm 300,000 people! ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly said: "Commander, don't worry, it's only the first day, we will do everything we can to dig up the secret warehouses left by the Japanese puppet army and the Northeast Army, and strive to complete the task!" ”

Liu Yimin nodded, and then began to explain one by one.

The first task Liu Yimin gave was the issue of forming a railway corps. Liu Yimin yesterday issued an order to set up the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army Headquarters, with Wu Zheng as commander. Lin Bo served as political commissar. However, the Railroad Corps Headquarters is an empty shelf, and there are only two commanders and political commissars, and there are generals and no soldiers.

Liu Yimin told Wu Zheng that he could assign the supplementary regiments of the third, fourth, and fifth columns to him, and turn them into railway soldiers. The most important task of the Railway Corps Command at present is to protect the railways, bridges, and the garrison of the main highway bridges to ensure the smooth flow of transportation. First, it is necessary to use all the antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns captured in the Luda area and the Shenyang area. Liaise with the Air Defense Command to prepare for air combat and cover the communication arteries. The other is to do a good job in the maintenance and dispatch of railways, the production of locomotives and wagons, and ensure the volume of railway transportation. It is also necessary to strive to organize forces to build railways, and the little devils used to build one kilometer a day in the northeast, but our army must maintain this speed, and build the railways to Ulabaatar in Mongolia, to the big cities in Mongolia, and to the coastal cities in the Far East. To put it bluntly, where did our army fight. Where the railroad is going to be built. Only when the railroad is built can the city prosper and the liberation of our army be consolidated. This matter should be understood from a strategic perspective and from the perspective of consolidating border defense; no matter how tense the war is, the matter of building railways cannot be stopped.

Wu Zheng asked for instructions that the three supplementary regiments were all infantry, and whether he could transfer an air defense regiment from the air defense brigade to use it as the backbone of the railway corps headquarters.

Liu Yimin bluntly said that no, the air defense brigade has only three regiments, and it has to undertake the air defense tasks of Lushun, Dalian, and Shenyang. They also have to participate in big battles, cover the battlefield, and the troops are not enough. However, one company from each regiment of the air defense brigade can be transferred to join the railway troops to carry out battlefield training and help the railway troops master the essentials of air defense operations as soon as possible and become familiar with air defense weapons.

Wu Zheng thought about it and gave it to three regiments. There are quite a few, so I won't say more.

Yang Zhicheng proposed that the cost of building the railway was too great, and our army entered the northeast for the first time. Spending should also be tight, and you can't spend money casually. Because it costs money to restore factory production, it costs money to relieve refugees, and it costs money to eat and treat the prisoners of the Japanese puppet army, and in case of sabotage by the Japanese puppet army and the creation of price turmoil, there must be sufficient funds to calm the market.

Liu Yimin was annoyed when he heard this, slapped his hand on the table, pointed at Yang Zhicheng's nose and reprimanded: "Okay, you Yang Zhicheng, the money will be yours if you take care of it?" Do I have the final say, or do you have the final say? Do you want to be a political commissar of the Logistics Command? Don't want to talk about it! Let me tell you, the most important thing at the moment is to destroy the Kwantung Army, and everything must revolve around this goal. The Northeast, Mongolia, and the Far East are so big, they all rely on railways to transport troops and supplies, and there are no railways, so you can walk and walk from here to Ulaanbaatar for a month? Let me make it clear to the three of you: Your tasks are, first, to build railways and ensure their smooth operation, and second, to immediately put the arsenal into operation, resume production, and ensure the operational needs of the troops. If you don't complete one of these two tasks, I will remove you from the job you bought and put you in confinement. Did you hear me clearly? ”

Yang Zhicheng, Wu Zheng, and Lin Bo didn't know why Liu Yimin suddenly became so angry, and looked at Liu Yimin in a little surprise, and only remembered to stand up and salute and answer "yes" for a long time.

Ni Hua had already returned to the bedroom to rest at this time, lying on the bed in a daze waiting for Liu Yimin, this time hearing Liu Yimin scolding loudly, he hurriedly got up from the bed, ran over to see the situation, and saw that Liu Yimin was reprimanding the three leaders of the logistics headquarters, and quickly poured a glass of water for Liu Yimin, handed it to him, and said angrily: "They are all comrades in life and death, what kind of fire!" ”

Liu Yimin also felt out of shape, took a sip of water, asked Wu Zheng, Yang Zhicheng and Lin Bo to sit down again, thought about it and said: "There is no problem with the funds, we have seized so many funds from Qingdao and Shanghai, and so many more funds have been seized from Dalian and Shenyang, and it is no problem to prepare for the establishment of two or three more specialized banks." You are bold and not afraid to spend money, as long as you can ensure the rapid mobilization of our army. ”

Yang Zhicheng, Wu Zheng, and Lin Bo all muttered to themselves: Qian Zhuangfei burned the fire, and the logistics headquarters was steamed. Isn't this criticism clear?

Dear book friends: Hurry up and vote for it, the taste of being popped is too uncomfortable!
