Chapter 577 Good News Flew to Use as Paper Money

Liu Yimin did not calculate one point, the reason why the Japanese army on the northern front was slow to move in the areas of Jide County and Cangxian County was not entirely because Terauchi Shouichi was afraid of being annihilated and deliberately reduced his troops, waiting for further mobilization of the army. The main reason is that there have been personnel adjustments within the Japanese army, and the reason is really as expected before the capture of Jinan, and the Kwantung Army has indeed been its shrinking turtle.

According to Terauchi Shouichi's plan, it was to take the three divisions of the Kwantung Army as the main force, with the four divisions of Luxi, Dexian, southern Hebei, and Hebei and Lubian, and cooperate with the Japanese army on the southern front to gather and annihilate the main force of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army under the city of Jinan. Unexpectedly, as soon as the First Division, the Second Division, and the 23rd Division arrived at Shanhaiguan, Jinan City had been captured by the Eighth Route Army. In this case, Terauchi Shouichi had to order the Japanese army on the southern front to shrink in an all-round way and concentrate in the area of Yanzhou and Jining.

By the time the three divisions of the Kwantung Army arrived in the Cangxian and Dexian areas, the Japanese troops in Luxi, southern Hebei, and Hebei and Lubian and the troops stationed in Cangxian and Dexian had all completed their assembly.

Of course, the troops withdrawn from southern Hebei, western Hebei, and Hebei-Lubian were somewhat miserable, and they were all drained of a wing of troops to participate in the Henan battlefield operations, and the troops were already insufficient; in addition, the Eighth Route Army planted mines, fired cold guns, and pursued them along the way, and the troops suffered certain losses, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. In addition, after receiving the news that the Eighth Route Army had captured the commander of the 12th Army, Otaka Kamizo, and eliminated the 1st and 33rd Divisions and lost contact with the defenders of Jinan, morale was even lowered, and they could only be used as auxiliary troops.

Terauchi Shouichi was full of hope that the 1st and 2nd Divisions would be able to play the role of the mainstay, have the courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities, attack quickly, and recapture Jinan, but who knew that the commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Kyosuke Kawamura, was extremely uncooperative.

Although his first division is the oldest division of the Japanese army and is well-equipped, it is also a famous playboy unit in the Japanese army, and in terms of real combat effectiveness, there is still a certain gap compared with the second, fifth, and sixth divisions.

In Kawamura Kyofuke, Liu Yimin's tutor was not easy to mess with, and the army surrounded Tianjin and fought in the air, causing him to lose the First Cavalry Wing; Heavy troops swept through Shandong, the Kwantung Army lost the 8th Division, and the North China Front lost the 10th Division. If we want to deal with Liu Yimin's instructors, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the existing troops alone, and it is necessary to mobilize at least six or more permanent divisions. Now the 14th Division on the Southern Front is too far away from itself, and it is too dangerous to rely only on the 1st Division and the 2nd Division. In that case, you can follow in the footsteps of Maeda Toshiwei, Sasaki Toichi, Otaka Kamezo, and Tani Toshio.

The frightened Kyosuke Kawamura sent a telegram to Terauchi Shouichi, on the one hand, saying that the Eighth Route Army had captured Jinan and was waiting for work, and that the attack at this time violated the common sense of the art of war; On the other hand, he said that the 1st and 2nd Divisions were constantly going back and forth between North China and Manchuria, and that the troops had not been able to recuperate for a long time, and that the soldiers were extremely tired, so they should take a break to recuperate and reconnoiter the enemy situation before considering how to attack. That's not all, Kyosuke Kawamura also reminded Terauchi Shouichi that Manchuria is the foundation of the Japanese Empire, the Kwantung Army is responsible for preparing for war against the Soviet Union, and the main forces of the Kwantung Army of the First Division and the Second Division are staying in North China for a long time, which will greatly affect the stability of Manchuria.

That's not all, Kyosuke Kawamura also secretly reported to the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, asking him to use the frequent activities of the Eighth Route Army in Liaoning as an excuse to put pressure on Terauchi Shouichi and strive to transfer the first and second divisions back to the northeast as soon as possible.

Kyosuke Kawamura is this idea, and Kenkichi Ueda is even more like this, the main task of his Kwantung Army is to prepare for war against the Soviet Union, not to be the firefighting team of the North China Front, last time he went to North China with three permanent divisions, but he lost an eighth division. This time there were three divisions again, but don't come back to two again. It's all like the North China Front, how many elites are enough to bury the Japanese Empire

Therefore, Ueda Kenkichi did not care whether the emperor was happy or not, and Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace was satisfied or not, and began to send telegrams and telephone calls to Terauchi Shouichi, informing him of the deterioration of public order in Manchuria and reminding him that the task of the 1st and 2nd Divisions was to prepare for war against the Soviet Union, and it was impossible to stop in North China for too long.

Terauchi Shouichi was annoyed and angry, and when he met Kyosuke Kawamura and quietly stumbled, it was annoyed and annoyed.

Kyosuke Kawamura is an old devil who is stunned, thinking that he is so great as a lieutenant general and division commander of the first division, that he dares to play a game of mouse and cat with the Japanese giant Terauchi Shouichi, and he simply doesn't know how to write dead words

Historically, Kyosuke Kawamura was removed from office in July of this year. Now, due to the factor of Liu Yimin's crossing, many personnel changes in the Japanese army have changed. Kyosuke Kawamura also spent a few more months in the position of division commander.

Originally, if Kyosuke Kawamura went to meet Terauchi Shouichi and directly told Terauchi Shouichi about his fear of falling into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, maybe he could work for a few more days, after all, Terauchi Shouichi knew Liu Yimin very well, and he also knew that it was likely to be a problem to rashly launch an attack with his existing forces. Thousands of undesirable, absolutely undesirable, Kawamura Kyosuke not only exposed his cowardice on the telegram, but also encouraged the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenkichi, to put pressure on Terauchi Shouichi.

What kind of person is Shouichi Terauchi, how can he see Kenkichi Ueda in his eyes?

If it was left behind the 226 mutiny to suppress the backbone of the Imperial Dao faction, Terauchi Shouichi would have ordered Kawamura Kyosuke's life one by one. Now is the time when the army is being lost and the morale needs to be gathered, Terauchi Shouichi is unwilling to do too much, but he is secretly playing the emperor, saying that Kyosuke Kawamura is corrupt and bribe-taking, fears the enemy like a tiger, and must be removed from his post and transferred to the reserve, and the commander of the first division is to be Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, chief of staff of the North China Front, and Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumifumi is requested to take over as chief of staff of the North China Front, Major General Muto Akira, deputy chief of staff of the Central China Dispatch Army, is requested to be transferred to the post of deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, and Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu, commander of the Guards Division, to take over as commander of the 12th Army.

Emperor Hirohito is even more annoying than Terauchi Shouichi, two commanders of the 12th Army and three garrison divisions have been annihilated in a row, which has made him lose face in the world, and even when he sees Empress Ryoko, he feels that he is not as gentle and considerate as in the past, not to mention these generals who have always defeated battles? Don't talk about Kyosuke Kawamura, it's that Sugi Sugi Yuan and Terauchi Shouichi want to kick it away, but they can't choose a suitable land minister or a suitable commander of the North China Front for a while.

At this time, Emperor Hirohito remembered Itagaki Seishiro, who committed suicide by disembowelment, and felt that it was too impulsive to let Itagaki Seishiro disembowel, at that time Liu Yimin's troops were born, no one understood him, and it was normal for Itagaki Seishiro to suffer at his hands. At this time of the battle, it had been more than a year since he fought with Liu Yimin, but the losses were even greater. Compared with Itagaki Seishiro, Terauchi Shouichi, Sugi Sugimoto, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, and all the generals of the base camp and the North China Front Army deserve to die

If Seishiro Itagaki is here, with his combat style, to take over as the prime minister, he will inevitably be much more proactive than Sugi Moto, and it is likely that the battle plan will be more bold and sharp. Taking a step back, it is to let him serve as the commander of the Fifth Division, and it is estimated that the results of the Fifth Division are definitely not what they are now.

Emperor Hirohito was in this state of mind, and Terauchi Shouichi's telegram was naturally approved immediately. When Naosaburo Okabe rushed to the 1st Division with a telegram from the base camp to announce the order, Kyosuke Kawamura realized that he had made a self-defeating mistake and offended someone who should not be offended, so he had to hand over his sword in disgrace and return to Japan under the escort of the military police.

The personnel changes in the North China Front caused by the cowardice of Lieutenant General Kyosuke Kawamura, the commander of the 1st Division, delayed Terauchi Shouichi's plan to recapture Jinan. At this time, he didn't dare to act anymore, because the Eighth Route Army had indeed gained a foothold in Jinan, and where Liu Yimin's forces would kill next, Terachi Shouyi didn't know the bottom of his heart. In addition, Liu Yimin did not take advantage of the situation to capture Qingdao, which made Terauchi Shouyi suspicious, worried that Liu Yimin was staring at him fiercely, and was ready to pounce on him at any time to hit him off guard. Under these circumstances, Terauchi Shouichi needed to carefully study and judge the situation and formulate a thorough battle plan, so he had to order the Japanese troops on the northern front, the Japanese army on the southern front, and the Japanese army in Qingdao to hold out, and use small forces to infiltrate and attack, and play the number, strength, and movement of the Eighth Route Army.

Another factor is logistical pressures. You must know that Jinan is the supply terminal of the Japanese army in Shandong, and the ammunition reserves of the original Second Army and the Twelfth Army established later are in Jinan. The Eighth Route Army made a fortune by taking Jinan, but the Japanese army complained that ammunition, food, clothing, and medicine had to be transported from the Japanese mainland to North China again. By this time of the war, Japan had already done its best, and if it had to replenish all of its losses at once, it would take a while for Prime Minister Sugi Sugimoto to negotiate with Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, not to mention that supplies would have to be transported to North China and distributed to various troops.

Shouichi in the old devil's temple is now in a hurry.

Liu Yimin didn't have time to carefully study what was going on in the temple, he was now a family affair and a war on the river, and he couldn't be busy

On the morning of November 11, the bodies of Huang Su and Guo Zheng were transported back to the division headquarters.

As soon as he saw Huang Su's remains, Liu Yimin remembered Huang Su's various past events when he went to work in the Central Guard Division after the Zunyi Conference, followed Liu Yimin all the way through Maotai, attacked Gulin, entered Yibin, Zhanle Mountain, captured Chengdu, destroyed Hu Zongnan's First Division, and occupied Xi'an, especially when he met Zhao Xiaoman on the upper floor of Yibin Daguan, Huang Su's playful words: "The willow tops on the moon, people are about after dusk." Teacher, you're in trouble", I still can't tell you how close I think about it.

Thinking that in order to change Huang Su's fate, he insisted on leaving him in the Xi'an garrison area, but who expected him to stubbornly follow. I knew that this was the case, let him be the political commissar of the Taixi Garrison Brigade, just let him go to the division headquarters as the deputy political commissar, and let him be the political commissar of the first brigade in his original position, and I am afraid that the little devil will not succeed in teaching the first brigade?

Liu Yimin regretted it in his heart, and he couldn't say it to anyone, so he could only be stupid at Huang Su's remains.

Luo Ronghuan and Huang Su are old comrades-in-arms, Huang is the political commissar of the Red Eighth Army, and Luo Ronghuan is the director of the Political Department, and they have deep feelings. As soon as he saw Huang Su lying in the coffin, Luo Ronghuan's tears couldn't stop flowing, how could he take care of what Liu Yimin was thinking?

It was Cai Zhong who reminded Liu Yimin that how to deal with Comrade Huang Su's future affairs, please ask the division commander to instruct him not to let it go for too long.

Liu Yimin called Luo Ronghuan, Zeng Zhongsheng, Zhu Rui and several brigade commanders and political commissars, and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Huang Su participated in the ** time early, and served as the leader of the workers' pickets during the provincial and Hong Kong strikes, the captain of the workers' Red Guards who dared to die in the Guangzhou uprising, the member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, the executive member of the Chinese Soviet Government, the political commissar of the Red 12th Army, the political commissar of the Red 34th Division, the political commissar of the Red Eighth Army Corps, the deputy political commissar of the Central Guard Division, the political commissar of the Red 11th Division, the commander of the Xi'an Garrison District, and the political commissar of the Taixi Group, and was a member of the Central Committee in the by-election of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee. He is the highest-ranking leader and general of our party and our army who has sacrificed their lives since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. His post-mortem affairs must be done solemnly. Director Cai is the acting mayor of Jinan City, and he is fully engaged in the funeral. To choose a hill around Jinan to build a tomb, the tomb should be arched with bricks. Clothes in the uniform of our army, from the inside to the outside must be brand new, outside the military coat, wear white socks and leather shoes. Erect a monument, and the inscription was written by me personally. Mourning halls were set up at the instructor's headquarters, Jinan Post Building, Jinan Stadium, Dadian Logistics Headquarters, the First Brigade Station, and the Taixi Garrison Brigade Station, and received condolences from cadres and soldiers and people from all walks of life. All brigades, detachments, and counties organized mourning activities for the anti-Japanese democratic government. The political commissar sent a telegram to the Central Committee in the name of the Party Committee of the Instructor, the Party Committee of the Shandong Military Region, and the Shandong Bureau, requesting that Comrade Huang Su be posthumously awarded the Red Star Medal and the title of National Hero, and that mourning activities be held in all units and base areas of our army. The General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army was asked to posthumously award Comrade Huang Su the title of Special Heroic Model of the Eighth Route Army. Comrade Li Yimo also posthumously awarded the Red Star Medal. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was requested to report to the Nationalist Government and request that the rank of lieutenant general Huang Su and Li Yimo be posthumously conferred, and the rank of major general Li Donghai and Guo Zheng should be posthumously conferred, and that the pension be given according to the regulations. The Senate of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government posthumously awarded the title of Shandong Provincial Special Heroic Model of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Shandong Military Region posthumously awarded the Eighth Route Army the title of Special Heroic Model of the Anti-Japanese War of Shandong Military Region. All newspapers in Shandong should publish introductions and commemorative articles on the life and deeds of the martyrs, calling on the people of the whole country to unite, learn from the martyrs, resolutely resist Japan to the end, and the Political Department should take responsibility for it, register the martyrs who have died since our army joined the war, formulate unified regulations on preferential treatment, and distribute them to all military units and governments at all levels for implementation. ”

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan pondered for a long time and said: "We don't want the title from the Nationalist Government, and Chiang Kai-shek can't represent us." When Comrade Li Yimo died, Chiang Kai-shek pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not posthumously confer a military rank, and he would not give it this time, and we are not uncommon Huang Su and Li Yimo, if they live, they must not want Chiang Kai-shek to confer the title and not want his medal. ”

Cai Zhong immediately chimed in: "Do you want any title from Chiang Kai-shek?" It is enough to have a medal of the Red Star. ”

Liu Yimin shook his head: "Although we are from the Red Army, although we are not uncommon to the military rank of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Government, it is the current legitimate government of China, and we should give an explanation to the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for China." Even if we defeat the Japanese devils and establish a new China in the future, this history cannot be erased. Since the Nationalist Government is a legitimate government, it must be awarded titles to our fallen comrades. If he dares not to give it, Lao Tzu will dare to send his communication group back, and he will never receive a telegram from him again."

Liu Yimin set the tone of Huang Su's future affairs, and Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong will be able to operate. Soon, the telegram from the ** Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, and the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army arrived, posthumously awarding Comrade Huang Su the second-class Red Star Medal, the title of National Hero, and the title of Special Heroic Model of the Eighth Route Army, and posthumously awarding Comrade Li Yimo the second-class Red Star Medal, followed by a message of condolence from the central leadership, the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and the heads of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army.

The telegram from the Nationalist Government also arrived when it was dark, and posthumously awarded Huang Su and Li Yimo lieutenant generals, Li Donghai and Guo Zheng major generals, and bereavement pensions according to the rules.

Chiang Kai-shek himself also sent a telegram of condolence, expressing condolences for Huang Su's sacrifice, reviewing the achievements of the instructor since he joined the war, and praising the instructor for his bravery and good at fighting and bravely going to the country's difficulties, and being a model for the whole army.

The next day, all the newspapers in Shandong published on the front page a brief introduction to the lives of Comrade Huang Su and Comrade Guo Zheng written by the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army's instructor, and a long article entitled "Taishan Pine -- Mourning My Comrade-in-Arms and Comrade Huang Su, Hero of the Chinese Nation," written by Liu Yimin, secretary of the Shandong Bureau, secretary of the Shandong Military Region, secretary of the Shandong Military Region, commander, and instructor and division commander.

In the article, Liu Yimin affectionately recalled the past events since he met Huang Su, described the experience of fighting with Huang Su from Zunyi to Xi'an and then to Jinan, and described in detail the scene of him and Huang Su and Cai Zhong tasting wine and night talk before marching from Yibin to Leshan, and marching with horses when leading the army from Xi'an to aid Tianshui, and made a strong rendering of Huang Su's feat of commanding troops to block the Japanese army before his sacrifice.

At the end of the article, Liu Yimin wrote affectionately: "Since the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese invaders, our army has fought a war of resistance against the Japanese invaders, hung alone behind the enemy, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders without military salaries, ammunition, grain and grass supplies. Countless heroes stepped on the bodies of their comrades and launched a decisive charge against the devil until they fell under the devil's gun. Whenever I recall the voices and smiles of these comrades-in-arms, I often can't sleep at night and tears stain my clothes. I know that these comrades-in-arms of mine are all good sons and daughters of China, and their deaths are to defeat the aggressors, to defend the country's territorial sovereignty, to truly realize national independence, national liberation, and national rejuvenation, and to die for the greatness, glory, and death of millions of Chinese people to avoid the poison of the Japanese invaders. I feel that the spirit of sacrifice and service to the country of Comrade Huang Su and all my comrades-in-arms is like the green pine on the top of Mount Tai, shining on the unremitting struggle and climbing of future generations, and protecting the splendid civilization, democracy, freedom, prosperity and strength of our great China. ”
