On the European battlefield, the Germans captured France, the Anglo-French forces staged the retreat from Dunkirk, and the Vichy government of Marshal Pétain was proclaimed.

On the Chinese battlefield, Yichang was lost, and the main forces of the Fifth Theater suffered heavy losses. Immediately afterwards, the main force of the Japanese army in North China launched a frantic sweep of the base areas in southern Hebei and Shandong, and the central and southern regions of Shandong, the most consolidated base area of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, were occupied by the Japanese army, and then the Jilubian, Luxi, Qinghe, Jiaolai, and Jiaodong were occupied by the Japanese army one after another.

At the same time that the Japanese army was sweeping Shandong, the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia mobilized the main force of the 26th Division and three independent soul brigades and puppet Mongolian troops to launch a sweep of the base areas in the northwest of Shanxi.

The situation of China's War of Resistance suddenly became extremely grim.

Lieutenant General Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front, held a press conference to announce the results of the Japanese army, and also said truthfully that the war of law and order in North China was far from achieving the expected goal, and the imperial army was not able to capture and destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. On the contrary, Tubalu used tunnel fortifications to constantly attack the imperial army and the appeasement army, and wantonly undermined the public order in North China.

As for how to fight the public security war in Shandong next, Tada Jun said very clearly, first, use the heavy army group to repeatedly crush and sweep, and do not let go of a place, we must force Liu Yimin, the tumor of public security in North China, out of the mountains and tunnels, eliminate it, completely solve the problem of public security in North China, restore public order in North China, and build a paradise for the emperor in North China. The second is to strictly implement the system of good citizen certificates for household registration management, and implement the law of protecting armor and sitting together, so that one person can share the same and the whole family will be shot; One household was communized, and the whole village was shot. The third is to speed up the construction of the Deshi Railway, the Taizhou-Zhaozhou Railway, and the backbone highways, and use railways and highways to connect Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan into one, so as to facilitate the mobilization of troops by the Imperial Army to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, and also to facilitate the people's travel and commodity circulation.

After Tada Jun finished speaking, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front, murderously re-awarded the reward for capturing and killing the general of the Eighth Route Army. This time, due to the Japanese army's ostensible occupation of various parts of Shandong, Liu Yimin's market was bearish, and the Japanese army's bounty dropped from 2 million oceans to 200,000 joint coupons.

Wang Kemin, the puppet chairman of the North China Political Affairs Committee, read out at the press conference a proclamation on Chōu Ding's expansion of the North China Pacification Army. The proclamation said that in order to cooperate with the imperial army to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and consolidate law and order in North China, it was decided to expand the strength of the appeasement army according to the method of Erding Chōuyi. That is to say, there are two brothers in the family, and one must be a puppet army.

These tricks made by Tada Jun and Wang Kemin are very vicious, if they are allowed to achieve them, there will be no place for the Eighth Route Army in North China!

Japanese newspapers and radio stations also began to make noise.

The newspapers and radio stations run by the Japanese were shouting the slogan "Kunming in the south, Chongqing in the middle, and Xi'an in the north," and advised Chiang Kai-shek's Chongqing Nationalist Government to abandon its illusions and surrender as soon as possible.

Newspapers such as "Zhongbao" and "Nanjing Xinbao" published in Nanjing, the seat of Wang's puppet government, and Beiping's "Huabei Daily" and "Xinbeiping Bao" in Beiping successively published articles by Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai, Liang Hongzhi, and Wang Kemin, broadcast the traitors' radio speeches, advocated peace and national salvation, appealed to the Chongqing Nationalist Government and Kuomintang officials to report to Nanjing, and urged the Kuomintang troops to stop resistance and accept the orders of the Nanjing Wang's puppet government.

The most typical is the traitor newspaper in Beiping, probably thinking that the Eighth Route Army was at the end of the road, and was no longer afraid that the Eighth Route Army would want their lives, and began to play crazy again, publishing articles one after another, publishing daily reports on the Japanese puppet army's battles and distributing pictures and comments, advocating the Japanese army's courage and advanced weaponry, and once again began to slander the Eighth Route Army for robbing property in Shandong and coercing the people to oppose the Japanese ().

Not to mention, under such high pressure from the Japanese army, the irresolute elements were shaken, and some unwanted Kuomintang officials who sat on the cold bench in Chongqing and some officials who insisted on guerrilla attacks behind enemy lines began to run to Nanjing, hoping that Wang Jingwei would throw them a few bones that were left to gnaw. Wang's puppet military department also began to vigorously expand its army, luring down the most miscellaneous armed forces that insisted on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

The situation in Shandong is also complicated, and some local armed forces such as Cai Jinkang and Wang Shangzhi, who were not originally integrated by the Eighth Route Army, have openly surrendered to the enemy, including Zhang Jingyue and Zhang Tianzuo, who secretly sent Qiubo with the Japanese army in history. Only Liu Jingliang was caught by the Japanese army after the troops were scattered, and after escaping, he was arrested again and died bravely. At this point, the Kuomintang basically surrendered to the enemy in the areas where the Kuomintang had a relatively large force. Only the Ludong armed forces led by Li Xianliang entered Laoshan and still insisted on fighting.

A bean light reflects the portrait of a young and handsome soldier who is writing hard at the desk on the window paper.

Maybe it's been a long time and I'm too tired, the young soldier stood up, moved his body, turned his head and shouted: "Political commissar, Lao Cai, come and have a cup of tea!" ”

Luo Ronghuan's thick voice came from the opposite side: "Commander, I still have two lines to write!" ”

After a while, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong came over with empty tea jars.

This is the battlement village in Laiwu, a young and handsome soldier who is fast ** Liu Yimin, secretary of the Shandong Bureau and commander of the Shandong Military Region. At this moment, he led the main force to jump out of the gap in the Japanese sweep, hidden in the area of Duozhuang in the northwest of Laiwu, and was staring at Jinan City!

Cai Zhong entered the door and saw that Liu Yimin's tea jar on the table was empty, where was there any water!

Cai Zhong shouted at the door: "Li Xiaoshuai, pour some water!" ”

It was not Li Xiaoshuai who came in to pour water, but Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman. The two women each carried a kettle, took these two tea jars, walked in one after the other, saluted Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, poured water, and walked out.

Luo Ronghuan held a teapot and said while drinking: "Commander, let the radio station turn on and contact the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, the leaders don't have news from us, I don't know how to worry about it!" ”

Liu Yimin took a sip of water, put down the tea jar, chōu out two cigarettes from the cigarette case on the table, threw one to Cai Zhong, lit one himself, took a puff of Meimei's chōu, and then said: "Don't worry, the little devil is now like a mad dog, eager to catch our radio signals." The signal in the mountainous area is poor, the low-power radio does not work, and as soon as the high-power radio is turned on, it will be targeted by the little devils, and our position will be exposed. The little devils will even take off reconnaissance planes at night to lock on to our radio signals and positions. Early tomorrow morning, just wait for the bomb of the little devil! The tragedy of General Zhang Zizhong cannot be repeated here with us! ”

The main reason why the Shandong Military Region Headquarters was able to stay in Dadian for so long was that the Eighth Route Army used a 20-watt low-power radio to send reports, which could not be detected by little devils.

Luo Ronghuan said slowly: "Commander, we have to act." If the little devils burn, kill, and loot in the base areas, our local cadres, local armed forces, and militia will certainly suffer great losses, and I am afraid that many people will have to be sacrificed every day. Just the grain harvested in the summer, the little devils took a lot of guns. This year, the villagers in the base area have suffered a great crime, and we have to tighten our belts to live a hard life. ”

What Luo Ronghuan said was the truth, Liu Yimin did everything he could, but he didn't expect that the Japanese army would form three tank divisions in advance and drive to the Shandong battlefield at once. The three chariot divisions, plus the mechanized second division, are a torrent of steel, and it is self-defeating to take light infantry to fight against the steel torrent of the little devils, so Liu Yimin will not do that stupid thing!

According to Liu Yimin's original plan, the little devil was not allowed to step into Lu Zhongnan again. Now it seems that the determination of the little devils to destroy the main force of the Shandong Eighth Route Army is still underestimated. If it weren't for the fact that the base areas in Shandong had already formed a network of tunnels, I don't know how much loss would have been caused by this sweep! It is likely that just like the May Day sweep launched by the Japanese army in Jizhong in history, the main force was driven out of the Jizhong base area, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan tried to organize the main force to annihilate the Japanese army several times, but the little devils were highly vigilant, and at night, when there was a slight disturbance, they turned on the lights, and tank guns and artillery went into battle to fight back fiercely. As soon as the morning dawns, the little devil's plane begins to circle in the sky, dropping bombs when it finds a suspicious target. Our army is simply not able to organize a large campaign ().

The most depressing thing is that this Shandong and the Jianghan Plain cannot be compared, there is a drought from the chūn, it is rare to rain, and the devil's plane is suspiciously and unscrupulously dispatched.

Liu Yimin took another puff of cigarette and said lightly: "Don't worry, we have to wait for the Japanese army's chariot division, the second division, and the seventh division to return to the northeast before we can do it." Even if three chariot divisions go back to two, we can do it. Otherwise, as soon as the main force is exposed, the three tank divisions of the Japanese army will surround them, and it will be a joke. Afraid of what? The little devils just snatched up the grain in Shandong, and they couldn't eat it for a while, so they put it in the warehouse, and we just went back and got it back. ”

Cai Zhong said worriedly: "Commander, political commissar, Chen Dayong, Zhao Shan, Xu Shiyou, they don't know what is going on now, let's get in touch, we must not let the Japanese armored group surround it." ”

The reason why the Japanese armored group left central and southern Lu in a hurry and rushed to Jiaolai and Jiaodong after opening the Taiwei Highway was because Chen Dayong commanded the three main columns to launch an offensive against the 28th Division of the Japanese Army in Jiaodong, which hurt the little devils and forced the devil armored group to rush to reinforcements.

Luo Ronghuan said: "That's not afraid." Chen Dayong, Zhao Shan, and Xu Shiyou were all beaten out in the war, and our army did not stick to any point, the Jiaodong base was complete, and the Kunyu Mountains could offset the Japanese army's armor advantage, and the little devils had no way to take Chen Dayong. I'm worried about the Jilu border and the Luxi region, which are all large plains, and there is no danger except for tunnels. ”

Liu Yimin is also most afraid of the Jilu border and Luxi, especially the Jilu border, in addition to the Japanese army's railway and highway blockade lines, the east is the sea, and the south is the Yellow River, which is basically a dead land. Historically, after the Japanese army swept the Jilu border on a large scale, the main force of our army on the Jilu border had to withdraw to Luxi and Qinghe.

Liu Yimin threw down the cigarette butt and said: "Find Qian Zhuangying and Li Qiang, study a way, and strive to contact the Central Committee, the General Headquarters, and various units in the next few days to understand the enemy situation and see if the Japanese armored group has withdrawn." ”
