The Japanese puppet is laughing wildly, but the Shandong base area is full of gloomy clouds and mourning.

Liu Yimin was originally scheduled to convene a joint meeting of the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region the next morning to listen to the report on the anti-sweeping operation and to study how to solve the problems in the production and life of the military and civilians in the base areas.

During the war years, everything was simple. However, Zeng Zhongsheng has an important position in the history of our army, and he was transferred to the Red Seventh Army and until he went to Shandong to resist Japan, he was Liu Yimin's right and left hand, and he was a military talent who stood alone.

Since returning to Dadian last night, Liu Yimin has not slept all night, and after studying Zeng Zhongsheng's funeral plan with Luo Ronghuan and others, he arranged for the troops to build the main mourning hall, and was busy until 10 o'clock in the morning, and the mourning hall was completed. Liu Yimin returned to his residence and began to write a memorial article.

Since Tang Xingying reunited with Liu Yimin and returned to Dadian with him all the way, except for talking to him alone by the Yellow River, he has never had the opportunity to be alone again. When I returned to Dadian, I met Zeng Zhongsheng who was martyred, busy decorating the mourning hall, his feet did not touch the ground, and he was tired, sleepy and hungry. Now that the mourning hall has been arranged, seeing Liu Yimin crawling on the table again and starting to write, he knows that he must be writing an article to mourn the chief of staff, preparing to speak at the memorial service.

As soon as she thought of the chief of staff, Tang Xingying felt miserable in her heart, and tears involuntarily filled her eyes. Afraid of affecting Liu Yimin's writing, and worried that Liu Yimin would be hungry, he went to the guard regiment's room to ask for a few steamed buns, brought two bowls of hot and sour boiling water, and sent them to Liu Yimin's table.

There were a lot of tears in the woman's house, and Tang Xingying's tears flowed, so she couldn't help but lie on the table and sobbed in a low voice.

Liu Yimin is now full of remorse in his heart, like a wolf with hungry eyes shining green light, if Tada Jun is in front of him, I am afraid he will not hesitate to grab Tada Jun and tear him to pieces. It's not just Tada Jun, now as long as it's a person, as long as he dares to stand in front of Liu Yimin, it's hard to say what will happen.

Tang Xingying cried, and the irritability in Liu Yimin's heart became more and more intense, and he scolded loudly: "What are you crying about? I know how to cry, and it's not too late for you to cry when I'm dead! ”

Tang Xingying was startled by Liu Yimin's scolding, raised her head and looked at Liu Yimin with tears in her eyes, and only cried loudly for a long time, crying and saying, "I don't allow you to die!" If you want to die, strangle our mother with a rope first! ”

Liu Yimin couldn't write anymore in annoyance, looked at the steamed buns on the table, grabbed them and ate them. After taking a bite, I felt that my stomach was full, my throat was dry, and I couldn't swallow it, so I put down the steamed buns, picked up the hot and sour boiling water on the table and drank it.

After drinking, Liu Yimin looked at Tang Xingying, who was like a tearful person, the impatience that he couldn't wait to meet in Shimen had already been extinguished, and he only sighed in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything, sat down and continued to write the manuscript, and let Tang Xingying cry there mournfully.

The manuscript did not write much, but Li Lingfeng, who was far away on the front line in Linyi, sent a telegram back, reporting that the Japanese puppet army stationed in Linyi had retreated to Yixian County on the Linyi Highway under the cover of a large number of aircraft. After the Japanese special combat team rushed back to Linyi, they stayed in the city and did not come out, and now they are wrapped up in a large army and retreat with the army, and there are no fighters for the time being.

Liu Yimin became more and more irritable, and yelled at Qian Zhuangfei who sent the telegram: "Call Li Lingfeng back, Tatian Jun is scared and scared away!" If you are afraid, you can't do it, so you want Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng to chase them to Yixian County at night, carry out special guerrilla warfare against the little devils, and completely knock the little devils unconscious, stupid, and beaten into a letter ball and a fool! I'm going to make them regret coming into this world! ”

Qian Zhuangfei was old and had experienced a lot of world affairs, and felt that Liu Yimin was overly sad and too emotional, which affected the command of the war, and after coming out of Liu Yimin's office, he did not rush to send a telegram, turned around and came to Luo Ronghuan, and politely suggested that the political commissar should talk to the commander, and that people cannot be resurrected after death, and they must be viewed correctly and cannot deal with problems emotionally. The special operations brigade and sniper brigade have been fighting several times a day for a month, and they have also struggled hard under the poisonous gas bombs of the little devils' aircraft and artillery, and they are also in urgent need of rest and replenishment. Just because the chief of staff was martyred, he could not desperately order Li Lingfeng and them to hunt down and kill the Japanese special combat team, because if this continues, the losses will be even greater, and the special combat team is not omnipotent.

Luo Ronghuan, like Liu Yimin, was a little deformed because of Zeng Zhongsheng's martyrdom, and after he came back, he didn't even take a look at Lin Yueqin and the children, thinking about revenge. After listening to Qian Zhuangfei's words, Luo Ronghuan thought about it for a long time, and then walked to Liu Yimin's office and living room, and when he entered the room, he saw Liu Yimin crawling on the table to write, Tang Xingying was sitting on the table and crying, and there were a few steamed buns on the table. Needless to say, Liu Yimin, like himself, can't eat it.

Luo Ronghuan sat down at the table and said to Tang Xingying: "Comrade Tang Xingying, don't cry, there are still many things to do!" You go wash your face, let the kitchen order some noodles, the three of us have a bowl each, and then send some to Director Cai and Deputy Political Commissar Tan. I have something to talk to the commander. ”

After Tang Xingying went out, Luo Ronghuan said to Liu Yimin that everyone was very sad about the death of the chief of staff. However, we are the commanders of our army in Shandong, and we must not bury our pain and hatred in the bottom of our hearts, keep a cool head, be thoughtful, and not be carried away by hatred. The withdrawal of the Japanese army from Linyi was an emergency measure taken by Tada Jun for fear of our army's retaliation, and this old devil must have a back hand to guard against us! At this time, if Li Lingfeng and them chase after the devil, they are likely to fall into the trap. The combat effectiveness of the special operations group and the sniper group is indeed strong, but it is impossible for them to be the opponent of aircraft groups and tank artillery. In this case, the troops should be ordered to recover Linyi, conceal and recuperate, and find another fighter. Whether it is Tada Jun or Iida Sadagu, it is impossible to leave North China for a moment or three, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to disarm and surrender, so there are many opportunities to kill devils. At present, we must deal with the aftermath of Chief of Staff as soon as possible, and we can't fall into pain and not be able to get out, which just makes the little devil happy.

Liu Yimin sighed: "Political commissar, I regret it in my heart!" Knowing this, he let him lead his troops to fight the Battle of Southwest Lu and conquer the Battle of Shimen. I stayed to command the inside battle, and with my skills, it was impossible for the little devil to be around. Chief of Staff, alas, death makes me worry! ”

Luo Ronghuan took off his eyes, wiped the lenses blurred by tears with his hand, and said for a long time: "It's not just Chief of Staff Zeng, Huang Su, Li Yimo, Jingjing, Guo Zheng, Li Donghai, and so many martyrs we sacrificed, which one doesn't make people worry when they think about it?" There is no way, the devils have imposed the war on us, we have to fight in order to drive out the invaders. There are always sacrifices in war, even the two of us, and there is no guarantee that we will live to see the day of victory. However, the battle still has to be fought, the little devils still have to be killed, and the life has to be lived, right? The chief of staff died for the War of Resistance and for defending the country! As a soldier, the chief of staff died well! If he had been wise, he would not have wanted to see us carried away by hatred and give irrational orders to fight. ”

There is no need for Luo Ronghuan to talk about these truths, where would Liu Yimin not know, it's just that he is too sad.

Liu Yimin said with difficulty: "Revoke the order to the special combat team, and ask Li Lingfeng to lead his troops back to Dadian to rest and participate in the funeral of the chief of staff." ”

Tang Xingying led the guards to bring the noodles up, this girl, after returning to Xi'an, learned to make Qishan whistle noodles, made whistles by herself, let the soldiers of the cooking class roll the noodles, made a pot of oily and fragrant whistle noodles, and served three sea bowls by herself, led the guards, and brought them to Liu Yimin's office.

People in sorrow don't taste anything they eat!

Such a good whistle noodle can be called oily, sour, spicy, salty, and fresh, and Liu Yimin only ate two bites and put it down. Tang Xingying looked at Luo Ronghuan pitifully and called "political commissar", which meant to let Luo Ronghuan persuade Liu Yimin to eat more.

Luo Ronghuan can't eat, but the body is the foundation, how can he work if he doesn't eat enough? Luo Ronghuan ate noodles, picked up another steamed bun, and said to Liu Yimin while eating: "Commander, eat, you are full, you have strength, so that you can lead your comrades to take revenge." If he faints from hunger and collapses his body, Tada Jun will be happy, and he will no longer have to worry about someone going to take his head! ”

Liu Yimin didn't say a word, picked up the bowl and finished the noodles in one go.

When Tang Xingying saw it, she hurriedly went over and picked up Liu Yimin's rice bowl and ran to the room, and after a while, she returned to the house with a big bowl of whistle noodles and sent it to Liu Yimin.

Liu Yimin sighed again and said: "My baby has become stupid, treating men as cows!" ”

Luo Ronghuan was relieved, and after eating, he told Liu Yimin to sleep for a while, recover his strength and energy, and write again when he fell asleep, and then went back to his office.

Liu Yimin has been waiting, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek can posthumously award Zeng Zhongsheng a general. As a result, instead of waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's telegram of condolence and the rank of general, he waited for an urgent telegram from the chairman and the boss, informing Chiang Kai-shek that Chiang Kai-shek had concentrated on Sichuan to rest and replenish his troops to storm the Guangyuan area in northern Sichuan, that the commander of the 10th Theater of Operations, Jiang Dingwen, had launched an attack on Hanzhong, that the southern part of Hu Zong had launched an attack on the Shangluo area, that the troops of the First Theater had launched an attack on Weinan, that Zhu Shaoliang, commander of the Eighth Theater, had made an assault on Longnan, that all the security divisions and garrison divisions stationed in Shaanxi had been put into battle, and that the Central Committee had ordered the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Democratic Special Zone to be urgently mobilized, and urgently ordered Nie Rongzhen, who was dealing with the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning, to lead his troops back to Jinchaji, preparing to transfer troops from Shanxi to return to Shaanxi to fight and stabilize the war situation. The central authorities demanded that our army in Shandong be ready to take action, strictly prevent our troops in the Suzhou-Anhui border region of Yu Xuezhong and Han Deqin, and strictly prevent the troops of the Jicha Theater from making a move against our troops in southern Hebei, and send troops to support the operations in the above-mentioned areas when necessary.

After reading the telegram, Cai Zhong, who was overly saddened by Zeng Zhongsheng's death, immediately shouted in a hoarse voice to the central authorities asking for war, demanding that the 2nd, 6th, and 6th Brigades of our army in Shandong be transferred back to Shaanxi, resolutely repel the rampant attack of the reactionaries, and defend our base area in the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Democratic Zone.

Cai Zhong finally said hatefully: "I don't have a good thing, and I am used to poisoning my back." This was the case at the time of the April 12 coup, and it is still like this at this time! Our army fought with the Japanese army, but they took the opportunity to stab us in the back! These guys are no better than devils! ”

Luo Ronghuan, Guo Hongtao, Tan Zheng, and Cai Zhong were of the same attitude, and they all demanded that they ask the central authorities for war and send troops back to Shaanxi to support the operation and defeat Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary offensive.

Liu Yimin remembered that when he launched the first ** in history, it was at this time that the southern part of Hu Zong captured the five county towns of Chunhua, Xunyi, Zhengning, Ningxian and Zhenyuan in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, and mobilized a large army to prepare to attack Yan'an. Moreover, Yan Xishan also attacked the second column of death at this time. I didn't expect that history had undergone such a big change, the strength of the Eighth Route Army far exceeded that of history, Chiang Kai-shek still had to launch **, and the scale was much larger than in history, and several armies came out to kill Shaanxi. It seems that Yan Xishan is also going to move, and Zhu Huaibing and others are also going to move.

It's a little sad to think about it, and my goal is to end the War of Resistance ahead of schedule and expel the Japanese from China as soon as possible. In order to end the War of Resistance in advance, the most important thing is to avoid a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the guns are unanimous to the outside world. For this reason, he went to Xuzhou to meet Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren, and planned for the big war, and asked his wife to drag her pregnant to the United States to seek assistance. What are you afraid of!

Originally, from the perspective of Liu Yimin from later generations, he should have suggested to the central government to solve the problem of politics as the main thing and military as the supplement, but Liu Yimin will not talk about it now. Since Chiang Kai-shek wants to fight, Lao Tzu will accompany him, and if he is not beaten to the point that his nose is blue and his face is swollen, it is expected that he will not be honest.

Liu Yimin no longer waited for Chiang Kai-shek's telegram of condolence, the rank of general, and the order of bereavement, and he now regretted it in his heart, feeling that he should not ask Chiang Kai-shek for the posthumous rank of general Zeng Zhongsheng, it would be a humiliation! He immediately ordered a funeral for Zeng Zhongsheng and sent a telegram to the central authorities, requesting that the Shandong Military Region be allowed to send troops back to Shaanxi to meet the enemy, and that the Shandong Military Region could transfer the Second Brigade, the New Second Brigade, and the Luxi Garrison Brigade, which were sweeping away Dàng in Luxi, and the Sixth Brigade of the Sixth Brigade, which was sweeping away Dàng in Hebei, to break through the Pinghan Road and return to the west, with Liu Jianli as the commander of the Corps of the Return to the West, Zhang Hongtao as the political commissar, Xu Shiyou as the chief of staff, and Zeng Chunjian as the director of the Political Department.

In the telegram, Liu Yimin also asked the central authorities to telegraph to all units in Shanxi to be vigilant against Yan Xishan's movement in the immediate aftermath of Chiang Kai-shek's all-out attack on Shaanxi.

Last time, Liu Yimin visited Yan Xishan in Guxian and said everything, it stands to reason that Yan Xishan should be touched and understood. However, some time ago, the chairman and the boss both informed Yan Xishan that there were signs that now Chiang Kai-shek had disregarded the overall situation of resistance against Japan and made a big attack on Shaanxi, and Yan Xishan would definitely not be reliable.

Liu Yimin also thought clearly, it is not that Chiang Kai-shek disregarded the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the key is that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party themselves have fundamental interests in conflict, and what Chiang Kai-shek wants is a dictatorship and development and growth. The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable! Chiang Kai-shek will never sit idly by and watch our party and our army grow and grow in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and become his gravedigger. The elimination and elimination of the troops under his leadership should be Chiang Kai-shek's goal. As long as the war eases slightly, Chiang Kai-shek will fight. This is not to say how bad Chiang Kai-shek is, I am afraid that this will be the case if someone else becomes chairman and chairman. Including Yan Xishan, he is used to being the emperor of Shanxi, and he will never tolerate the development of our party and army in Shanxi. Now, the Eighth Route Army occupies most of the area in Shanxi, and the base area is getting stronger and stronger, and even Yan Xishan has given way to Bo Yi

Ōjian's new army in Shanxi is no longer under his command, can this Yan Laoxi be willing? He will inevitably think of solving the problem of the Shanxi New Army. This is a conflict of fundamental interests, and it is not something that anyone can persuade.

Liu Yimin said in his heart that asking Chiang Kai-shek to posthumously confer the rank of general on Zeng Zhongsheng was self-inflicted, and that was absolute. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's mentality has changed greatly, and it is no longer the mentality when Li Yimo and Huang Su sacrificed, at that time, because the Japanese army has been chasing his buttocks, every victory of the instructor of the Eighth Route Army can mobilize the Japanese army and delay the Japanese attack, and he needs to encourage the Eighth Route Army to fight bravely to kill the enemy. Now, on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army was in a state of stalemate, and there were the battles of Suizao and the victory of the first Battle of Changsha, which gave Chiang Kai-shek the illusion that the Japanese army was not enough, and there was no way to take his main force, and it was time to free up his hands to solve the problem of the Jiān Party and the Jiān Army of the Eighth Route Army. He wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's heavy troops to sweep Dàng Shandong and recapture northern Sichuan, Longnan and even Zhengege Shaanxi!

It is said that Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from Liu Yimin from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and after a brief glance, he snorted in his nose and said, "Zeng Zhongsheng himself is a big red bandit leader who has died innocently, and he should have died for many years for Hubei, Henan and Anhui." If you want to be posthumously awarded the rank of general, you will be daydreaming! Niang Xipi! ”

There is another point that Liu Yimin does not know, that is, Chiang Kai-shek has settled the change in the official residence, under the persuasion of Zhang Qun and Song Ziwen back and forth and bitter words, and also under the persuasion of Song Meiling's big sister who even spoke and scolded, Zhang Xueliang bowed his head to Chiang Kai-shek and confessed his guilt in order to maintain the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, voluntarily studied behind closed doors, and handed over all the command of the Northeast Army to Chiang Kai-shek.

Unlike in history, under the persuasion of Zhang Qun, Song Ziwen, and Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek also admitted that he was so angry that he was angry with Zhang Xueliang and did not care about himself, and refused the request of He Yingqin, Chen Bui and others to try Zhang Xueliang and Ming Zhengcanon, but dismissed Zhang Xueliang from all positions and allowed him to study behind closed doors, and he could also travel abroad to Britain and the United States to take care of the children to go to school.

After Zhang Xueliang bowed his head, in view of the fact that Zhang Xueliang shot at Chiang Kai-shek, and the power of Kong Xiangxi's money bag, they were promoted in a hurry to take up their new posts in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's strategy.

In this context, and coincided with the heavy siege of the Eighth Route Army by the Japanese army, where did Chiang Kai-shek miss the fighter!
