After drinking Ping'er's full moon wine, Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong and Zhong Xiaopei, director of the propaganda department of the Shandong Bureau, to be responsible for convening a forum on joint propaganda work between the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region, and asked the Logistics Command to arrange for the convening of a forum on science and technology of the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region, and asked Li Yu and Yang Zhicheng to organize a forum on economic work. These three meetings must be carefully prepared, and he must attend them to make important speeches.

During the war years, the efficiency was extremely high, and the propaganda department had been acting with the main force, and at this time they were all gathered in Dadian Town. Therefore, the next morning, a forum on propaganda work was held.

Liu Yimin slept well, got up in the morning, kissed the two children, and told Tang Xingying to rest for a few more days, and then he was going out for a meeting.

It may be that the two of them haven't been together for too long, Tang Xingying, this girl, has been moistened by a night of love, and her face has become ruddy and ruddy, and her eyes are full of joy.

Seeing that Liu Yimin was leaving, Tang Xingying grabbed him and called the guards to hurry up and get food, so he had to ask Liu Yimin to have breakfast before leaving.

Liu Yimin was all about things and was in a hurry to leave, but seeing that Tang Xingying was a bit like the shy appearance when he was newly married, he knew that his wife felt sorry for him, so he hugged Tang Xingying and kissed him for a while, and said a few words that he didn't know what to say, which made Tang Xingying pinch and twist on him, and finally got tired of being in Liu Yimin's arms.

At this time, the heavy army group of the Yue Army was transferred by the regiments commanded by Liu Yimin, the situation in North China was stable, and Liu Yimin was in a good mood. Tang Xingying pestered him, Liu Yimin's heart was hot, and he reached out to pick up his wife and went to the house again. At the critical time, Tang Xingying was sober-minded, twisted him fiercely, and said, "Don't delay the business", Liu Yimin had to put down his wife, sit down honestly for breakfast, and go out to drive back.

A forum on propaganda work was held in the compound of the division headquarters. In the middle of the courtyard, a square table was placed, a few chairs were arranged, and benches were neatly arranged around it. The four walls were also covered with banners with slogans such as "Shandong Propaganda Work Symposium" and "Persist in the War of Resistance Behind Enemy Lines, Drive Out the Invaders from China."

Luo Ronghuan specially instructed all the personnel of the Shandong Bureau and the division headquarters to attend the meeting, so that the entire compound was full.

When Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan walked into the courtyard, the cadres and propaganda workers all stood up and applauded enthusiastically for a long time, until Liu and Luo sat down at the square table, and Cai Zhong waved his hand to signal that the applause stopped. As a result, the applause not only did not stop, but became more persistent and enthusiastic, wave after wave.

This sentiment of the cadres is natural, and the encirclement and suppression of the army of more than 700,000 troops will surely cause heavy losses to the main force of the ordinary people who want to teach the instructors, and it is difficult to say whether there is even such a force. Who would have thought that the hero's instructor not only defeated the encirclement and suppression of the heavy army of the Yue army, but also won successive battles and won major victories. All this is the result of proper command and heroic fighting of the commanders and fighters. Not to mention the cadres of the political departments of the brigades, the cadres of the Shandong bureau and the division headquarters, even those literary and artistic propaganda workers can see this very clearly. Because they are the unit with the lowest combat effectiveness in the whole army, if it is not a big victory, but it is encircled by devils, the result can be imagined. In this post-war reunion, their most beloved leaders will come to the symposium in person, and it is no wonder that these literary and artistic propagandists do not applaud!

Liu Yimin stood up and saluted his comrades, and then waved his hand to stop the applause, which allowed Cai Zhong to announce the start of the meeting.

Since it is a symposium, we should let everyone speak freely, but Liu Yimin does not have so much time to listen to everyone's speeches, so he only wants to hold this meeting, in fact, he wants to use the form of the meeting to deploy propaganda and mobilization work. Therefore, after Cai Zhong made a brief opening remarks, he asked Liu Yimin to speak first.

Liu Yimin stood up, glanced around the venue, and began to speak.

Liu Yimin first talked about the international situation, and the main meaning was that at present, there was an undercurrent rolling in the international community, and the reason why Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, went back to Yumoto was not to go home and sleep with his wife in his arms, but probably to negotiate with Germany and Italy on behalf of Yuben. This guy worked in Germany in his early years, and he had a good relationship with the Germans, so he must have gone to conspire with the Germans. However, no matter how much Xiao Yueben tosses, it is impossible to confront the people of the whole world with a country of projectiles, and they are doomed to failure. In particular, since June, there have been clashes between the little devils and the Soviet Red Army in Zhanggufeng, on the border between China and the DPRK and the Soviet Union, and the two sides have issued one statement after another, and it is estimated that a fight may break out in the near future. The more intense the fight, the better, so that the little devils can taste the power of the aircraft and artillery of the Soviet Red Army.

After talking about the international situation, Liu Yimin analyzed the situation of the domestic war of resistance and held that the next step of the Yue army was to hold the Battle of Wuhan, with the aim of destroying the Chinese's will to resist. However, China is vast, and it is not necessary to say that Wuhan will not necessarily be lost, even if it is lost, it will not shake the will of the Chinese people to resist. Now the battlefield behind the enemy line and the frontal battlefield have formed a good interactive relationship, one hit and one pull, one pull and one dozen, the little devil is destined to take care of his head and not take care of his heart, looking at the momentum, in fact, he is being beaten everywhere. The more space they occupy, the more dispersed their forces become, and in the end the elite permanent divisions will become garrisons and the targets of attacks by the squadron. Of course, for the time being, the Yue army is still relatively strong, but this strength is temporary, and with the awakening of the Chinese people's awareness of the War of Resistance, the Chinese [***] team will become stronger and stronger, and victory in the War of Resistance is inevitable.

After talking about the international and domestic situation, Liu Yimin changed his words and put forward his own views on how to do a good job in the propaganda work of the Anti-Japanese War.

Liu Yimin held that during the Shaanxi period, the propaganda of the Red Seventh Army Corps was relatively good, the radio and newspapers were distinctive, the corps art troupe performed many times, and the programs were also innovative, especially the folk songs of northern Shaanxi that Comrade Zhao Xiaoman had sorted out and excavated, and sang them throughout the base area.

Zhao Xiaoman was sitting on the bench in the first row, this girl was ready to report today, her military uniform was washed cleanly, and her long hair was combed into braids and put on her back. Hearing Liu Yimin's praise, his little face turned red, and his watery eyes glanced at Liu Yimin, who was in high spirits, and quickly lowered his head and buried his head in the record.

Liu Yimin did not observe Zhao Xiaoman's performance, and what he was talking about was tasteful.

Then, Liu Yimin praised Chen Zixu, the political commissar of the Ninth Regiment, and Yan Su, a young painter, saying that these two people had high political quality and a strong sense of innovation. This kind of New Year painting has the advantages of novel subject matter, strong appeal, long-lasting publicity time, and easy to be liked by the masses, and will surely occupy a place in the history of Chinese art.

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin shouted: "Is Comrade Yan Su here?" Stand up and let the comrades know each other. ”

During the war years, people were all rolling in blood and fire, and people grew up fast. Yan Su is now a qualified soldier of the Eighth Route Army. Hearing the god-like division commander in his heart shouting to himself, he immediately stood up, saluted Liu Yimin, and reported loudly: "Report to the division commander, Yan Su, a cadre of the Political Department of the Third Brigade and the Ninth Regiment, report to you, please instruct!" ”

Liu Yimin smiled as soon as he saw Yan Su's salute report, beckoned him to come to the front, shook hands with him, and then took Yan Su's hand and said to the cadres: "Comrades, do you know that Comrade Yan Su was a college student who joined the army when we captured Tianjin, and he was very young. However, the anti-Japanese New Year paintings created by him are definitely great contributions, and in the future, when we write the history of the Eighth Route Army or the art history of the Anti-Japanese War after the victory, the anti-Japanese New Year paintings will inevitably be written in a strong and colorful way! What does this mean? It shows that as long as you focus on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War and use your brains, you will have fruitful results! ”

After letting Yan Su sit down, Liu Yimin began to talk about his views on the literary and artistic propaganda work of Shandong's Anti-Japanese War.

Liu Yimin held that the central task of Shandong's literary and artistic propaganda work during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was to mobilize and mobilize the workers, peasants, merchants, students, and soldiers of the whole province to unite and plunge into the torrent of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and to jointly struggle for the defeat of imperialism. This determined that the target of the anti-Japanese war literary and artistic propaganda was the workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers, that is to say, our propaganda was to serve the workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers. Once this problem is solved, it is clear how to determine the content of the campaign and innovate the form of the campaign.

In terms of propaganda content, the first is to highlight and publicize the inevitability of victory in the War of Resistance and encourage the determination of the Chinese people to resist the war by talking about the situation of the War of Resistance and the victories won by our army. Second, it is necessary to propagate the important surnames of developing production and supporting the front, mobilize the people of all strata to unite, learn advanced production technology, raise the level of productive forces, produce more grain and industrial products, and ensure the logistical needs of the anti-Japanese army. In particular, it is necessary to publicize new agricultural technologies such as double cropping in one year and intercropping, and encourage villagers to introduce more crop varieties and master new agricultural production techniques. The third is to propagate that resistance is glorious and surrender is shameful. It is necessary to use vivid examples to publicize the heroic deeds of our soldiers, expose the crimes and shameful fate of the Han and Han annihilations, create a social atmosphere in which one person kills devils, the whole family is glorious, and one person is a Han annihilator, and the eight generations of our ancestors are disgraced, and encourage the people in the base areas to join the army, become militiamen, and serve as former migrant workers. Fourth, propaganda to dispel superstition and advocate scientific creation. At present, there are many sects in Shandong, and these sects are all relying on feudal superstition to demagogue, and some even collude with the army to become Han annihilation. While carrying out armed strikes and orders and banning these organizations, it is necessary to intensify propaganda so that the masses who are addicted to these organizations will wake up as soon as possible and take part in the struggle against Japanese aggression. In fact, going home to plant crops and pay more grain is resistance. Fifth, it is necessary to propagate the need to change customs and customs, read and read books, and promote the overall emancipation of people's minds and souls. At present, in some localities, there are still bad habits such as letting little girls bind their feet, raising children and raising daughters-in-law, and parents arranging marriages, and this is not in accord with the policy of women's emancipation and freedom of marriage advocated by our party and army, and we should resolutely put a stop to it, and we should make contributions to literary and artistic propaganda work in this regard. The sixth is to disseminate our policies. For example, our method of electing political power at the grassroots level is the most advanced open-boiled politics in China at present, which embodies the spirit of the people being the masters of the country and uniting to resist the government. Another example is our renminbi, which is stronger than any currency in circulation in North China, because we have a strong principal. All these contents must be conscientiously publicized and won the approval and support of the masses. Seventh, it is necessary to actively carry out propaganda against the enemy, cooperate with the work of the families of the puppet army through the production of slogans, leaflets, shouting before the battle, and so on, and make a clear-cut stand to welcome the brothers of the puppet army to bring guns anyway, and as long as they are determined to change their minds and fight devils, they can not blame the past. It is also necessary to study propaganda methods for the Yue army, so that the soldiers of the Yue army can understand that there is no good end to opposing the Eighth Route Army, and that only by withdrawing from the ranks of the invaders as soon as possible can they avoid the fate of being killed. In this regard, it is also necessary to pay attention to propaganda skills, and do our best to publicize the policy of giving heavy rewards to soldiers who kill officers of the Chinese army, and also publicize typical examples of captured soldiers of the Japanese army reforming themselves in the base areas, so as to provide them with an example to follow.

When talking about these tasks, Liu Yimin spoke very vividly. For example, when it comes to propaganda and development of production, Liu Yimin gave an example, saying that sorghum is abundant in Shandong, and the common people think that wheat is a luxury, white flour is delicious and not hungry, miscellaneous grains are unpalatable but hungry, and every day it is either sorghum paste or sorghum pancakes. In fact, wheat is not only tastier than sorghum, but also has a higher yield. Like the Luxi, Luxinan, Taixi and Jiaolai Plains, as long as the fertilizer is sufficient and the water conservancy is convenient, it is not a problem to make five or six hundred catties per mu of land, and even the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties in the future. After harvesting wheat, we should plant late corn, soybeans, and black beans, and you can also plant autumn sweet potatoes, cabbage, and other crops, and the economic value is higher than that of wheat and sorghum. In the future, ordinary people will be able to eat food in summer and earn money in autumn. It is to eat wheat, soybeans, and sell vegetables, and Xiao Yuzi Insurance lives happily and nourishingly. Even mountainous areas can be harvested twice a year, and the reason is the same.

For another example, when talking about the glory of propaganda resistance and the shameful surrender, Liu Yimin talked about the ugliness of the Han Dynasty's annihilation of Ma Liang and Yin Rugeng's arrest. That's not all, Liu Yimin also improvised the episode "The Eighth Route Army Pulls the Big Bolt" from the later TV series "Little Soldier Zhang Ga": "In 1937, the devil entered the Central Plains, first opened the Lugou Bridge, and then entered the Shanhaiguan, annihilating the silver and burning it, it was simply turned upside down, countless Chinese, died under the knife, China [***], led us to fight an all-out war, the whole country went into battle, and drove the devil out of the homeland. In 1937, Xiao Yue had already entered the Central Plains, first opened the Lugou Bridge, and then entered the Shanhaiguan, and the train track was repaired to Jinan. Kill a little Ben, it kicked its eyes and went to the west of the sky! ”

After singing, Liu Yimin also asked everyone if it was good to hear. The cadres themselves were intoxicated by Liu Yimin's speech, and when they heard such a vigorous song again, the applause became one again.

After talking about the propaganda task, Liu Yimin asked the literary and artistic propaganda workers to emancipate their minds, use their brains, and innovate in the form of propaganda. At present, it is not possible to build a radio station in the base area, because it is easy to attract the bombardment of the little devils. However, newspaper propaganda can be reformed, and all brigades must run newspapers, and the articles on them should be short, concise, and easy to understand, so that primary school students can read them and people can understand them as soon as they hear them. The same is true for literary and art magazines, novels, essays, and poems must be written in fine works, which can play a role in publicizing the Anti-Japanese War. The theatrical performances mainly perform the salvation repertoire and songs represented by "Put Down Your Whip" and "On the Songhua River" and "Ten Gifts to the Red Army" and military songs of our army, and also compile and perform new repertoire that reflects the persistence of the army and people in the base areas in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In the near future, the art troupe should organize more performances and form small propaganda teams to go deep into the counties, districts, and market towns in the base areas to mobilize the masses through propaganda and programs. Painters should also take action, create anti-Japanese propaganda posters, print more and post more, especially New Year's paintings, they must start now, the content should be richer, the popularization should be widespread, and when they strive for purity, every household in the base area will post anti-New Year paintings.

Liu Yimin spoke for a long time, and drank a few teapots of water in the middle. He spoke in a lively manner, pinching his waist with his left hand, waving his right hand incessantly, and occasionally smoking a cigarette, and speaking while smoking, thus making his views and requirements on propaganda work clear and clear.

After speaking, Liu Yimin told Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong that he would leave first, and that the meeting could be held for one to two days, so that the comrades could discuss and discuss well, pool their wisdom, and strive to launch a propaganda campaign to truly mobilize the masses.

When sending Liu Yimin out of the venue, Cai Zhong asked Liu Yimin if he should ask the central government to investigate Huang Wei.

Liu Yimin then remembered the beautiful female reporter and asked Cai Zhong why he said this.

Cai Zhong said that because Huang Wei had been to Xi'an in the past to conduct interviews, and the drafts she sent were all propaganda for the Red Army, she was warmly received by herself and Political Commissar Luo after arriving in Dadian Town. This girl has no other problems, and she has been invited to the meeting today. But when Liu Yimin gave a speech, she went up twice to pour water for Liu Yimin, and her eyes and expressions couldn't hide her idea of wanting to get close to Liu Yimin.

Although Liu Yimin was vivid and witty in his speech just now, he was actually engrossed in it, and he didn't even look at who poured water for him. In his mind, Tang Xingying was not there, it must have been Zhao Xiaoman or Jingjing who poured water for him, and others couldn't pour water if they wanted to, but he didn't expect Huang Wei to be so bold.

As soon as he remembered that Vice Chairman Zhou told him that he had become a celebrity, Liu Yimin couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he said to Cai Zhong that there is no need to investigate, it turns out that Vice Chairman Zhou has already investigated, and he is a relatively beautiful young female reporter without any problems. It's a good thing that she can come to the base to interview, arrange her life well, let her interview freely, even if she wants to be the Eighth Route Army, we welcome it. This is a journalistic warrior, and I hope that through her, more intellectuals can be attracted to the base areas and fight together with us.

Cai Zhong shook his head and said, "Are you too troublesome?"

Liu Yimin ignored Cai Zhong and turned around and left.

Cold guns and cold artillery are a tactic that Liu Yimin taught when he was the president of the Red Army University, and he is familiar with all the troops. In fact, Liu Yimin is applying the tactics of the Eighth Route Army in history, the purpose is to stew frogs in warm water and slowly drain the essence and blood of the little devils. However, the strength of the Eighth Route Army at this time was much stronger than in history, and it was not the kind of situation where there was a shortage of guns, ammunition, clothing, and food. In particular, the instructors, who have been baptized by previous wars, have excellent weapons, sufficient ammunition, and are well-trained, and then carry out the cold gun and cold cannon movement, it will be much more powerful.

Considering the strength of the main force of the instructor, Liu Yimin was worried that once he could not control the scale of the army's attack, it would be easy for the main force of the little devil to turn around and return to Shandong, which would be troublesome. Therefore, the slogan he put forward was "squeeze the devils out of the base areas," and he repeatedly emphasized the word "squeeze," and demanded that all brigades camouflage the local armed forces and militia with small units, and generally not use heavy weapons when attacking, so as to lure the devils into pursuit as much as possible and eliminate the devils outside the strongholds.

Although Liu Yimin ordered all troops to conceal the fact that the main force had returned to Shandong, the troops remaining in Jilubian, Luxi, Taixi, and Jiaodong had already known the news of the main force's return to Shandong. Now that the devil's heavy army group has left Shandong, and the main force of our army has returned to Shandong, it is time to settle accounts with the little devils who are in the base area. Therefore, as soon as Liu Yimin issued the order to launch the cold gun and cold artillery campaign, not only the main force mobilized, but also the local armed forces and militia. Especially the local armed forces and militia in the Taiyi Mountains, they all know that they have the main force of the Eighth Route Army behind them to eliminate the devil's permanent division, where will they be afraid of the rampant little devils, one team and one group, with grenades, mines on their backs, and rifles in their hands, they began to attack and harass the devils non-stop, lest the little devils do not know that they are militia, county brigades, and district squads, lest the little devils do not know that they are afraid of pursuit, and they are looking forward to the little devils chasing them out as soon as their brains are hot, so that the Eighth Route Army hidden behind them will wipe them out. Avenge the dead villagers.

Liu Yimin naturally knows his troops very well, and knows that the devil's garrison division is defending everywhere, and it is impossible for him to concentrate his forces to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army for a decisive battle for the time being. Therefore, he made it very clear in his telegram of instructions to all units that the troops in Jiaodong should follow the instructions of the previous telegram, jump out of Jiaodong with the main force, and gradually recover the Qinghe and Jiaolai areas north of Jiaoji Road, and must not affect the devils to repair Jiaoji Road. Because the devil is repairing for the Eighth Route Army, they must be allowed to repair it and let the train run. As for the Luxi, Taixi, and Hebei Lubian troops, Liu Yimin said more clearly: small troops, multiple batches, cold guns and cold artillery, we must let the devils form the illusion that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army are active, so that the devils can rest assured and boldly deploy troops to support other battlefields.

The first to fire cold guns and cold guns is naturally the snipers.

After Wang Laohu made a big fuss in Jinan, he didn't dare to stay around Jinan, because he knew that if he made a big deal in Jinan, the little devils would inevitably mobilize heavy troops and frantically pursue and search, and if they found out, they would inevitably fall into an encirclement. Therefore, after Wang Laohu led the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron to leave Jinan, he retreated all the way to the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong until he joined the Tai'an detachment, which was considered a relief.

In the ensuing battle, Wang Laohu commanded the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron, Zhao Yonggang's No. 2 Special Operations Squadron, which was responsible for sabotaging the Jinan-Tai'an section of the railway, and Wang Shangwu's No. 2 Sniper Squadron, which supported the Tai'an detachment in the operation. They are well equipped and have good marksmanship, except for the need to guard against the bombing of devil aircraft groups and the concentrated bombing of artillery, other devils are not a problem, and the little devils have fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes when they meet them. Of course, after all, the little devil is a heavy army group with planes in the sky and tanks on the ground, no matter how powerful Wang Laohu is, they can't stop the devil's attack, so they can only resist step by step, retreat step by step, and watch the devil's army go north to Jiaodong, and watch the little devil's left-behind troops drive into several county towns in the base area and build strongholds.

Later, the three special combat teams began to fight the railroad again, and once again attacked and occupied the first station of the devil's realm, seizing an arms train of the devil's army. However, this time, Wang Laohu did not pretend to be loyal and righteous [***], but directly wrote the name of the instructor of the Eighth Route Army.

These arms were directly distributed to various units in southern Lunan and effectively supported the anti-encirclement and suppression operations in southern Lunan. Hong Chaoyuanhe, commander of the Fifth Brigade, Wang Nanhu, commander of the Ludongnan Detachment, and Zhang Haitao, commander of the Tai'an Detachment, all sent congratulatory messages to Wang Laohu. Zhang Haitao even directly picked up the stonemason guy and carved the word "sharp arrow" on a cliff in Culai Mountain to commemorate the heroic feat of the special combat team.

As a result, Wang Laohu's mouth pouted, saying that Zhang Haitao's words were more powerful and not charming enough, and he was not chic at all. Forget it, it's not a big deal to hit a small station, and it's okay to write it like this.

Now that the little devil heavy army group has left Shandong, how can these third-rate garrison divisions and regiments left in Shandong make Wang Laohu, the special operations hero of the Eighth Route Army, look at him? Therefore, after receiving Liu Yimin's order to carry out the cold gun and cold artillery campaign, Wang Laohu smiled and said to Zhao Yonggang and Wang Shangwu: "The division commander is not too troublesome, and directly said that it is proper to beat the devil with a stick, and he also made a cold gun and cold cannon campaign. This man, the more he reads, the more Tao he has in his stomach. Tiring! ”

Wang Shangwu didn't say so much, they are snipers, this cold gun and cold gun movement seems to be specially designed for them, a little devil with a gun, it feels enjoyable to think about it. Therefore, as soon as Wang Laohu finished speaking, Wang Shangwu said to him: "Commander Wang, the division commander's order is very clear, and the small troops will attack and harass in many batches. In my opinion, you lead two special operations squadrons to sweep the formation for us, and I will lead the second sniper squadron to attack in turn. This time, I have to scare the little devil out of the eggs! ”

Wang Laohu didn't say whether it would work or not, Zhao Yonggang quit, and directly proposed to let Hong Chaoyuan and Zhang Haitao send troops to act as cover, and the two special operations squadrons and sniper squadrons went up together, stretched the battle line, and went directly between Jinan, Tai'an and Yanzhou, and slowly tortured the devils. Let the little devil hide in the fortifications and dare not show his head, as soon as he shows his head, he will die.

Although Wang Laohu looks a little scary on the outside, he is extremely meticulous on the inside. After listening to the opinions of the two people, they said that what they said was not right, and the division commander's request was to squeeze the devils out of the base area. Or try to find a way on the highways from Tai'an to Laiwu, Tai'an to Xintai, Mengyin and Linyi to slowly pull out the stronghold of the little devils. Then, according to the situation, the battle plan will be requested.
