When Liu Yimin walked into the venue, the reporters attending the forum were already seated. Huang Wei hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Colleagues in the press, this is General Liu Yimin, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. ”

There is no need for Huang Wei to say "everyone applauds and welcomes", the reporters in the conference room, no matter what nationality they are, all stood up and applauded warmly!

The shadow of the famous tree of people, now it can be said that there are very few people in Chinese who do not know who Liu Yimin is, just like you only need to say Chairman Jiang, everyone knows that it is Jiang Zhongzheng, and there is no need to introduce it in a wordy manner.

Liu Yimin's face was full of spring breeze, he walked to the seat, stretched out his hands and made a stop gesture, and then said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, although we are meeting for the first time, we have been friends for a long time. In my heart, you guys with pens and guns are comrades-in-arms in the fight against the invaders. You don't have to be so polite, let alone applaud so warmly! ”

Needless to say, Chinese reporters are those foreign journalists, because they have been in China for a long time, almost all of them can understand Chinese, and some even speak Chinese.

When the applause stopped, Liu Yimin beckoned everyone to sit down and said: "There are three purposes for holding this symposium, one is to thank you for your contributions to the War of Resistance on behalf of the Eighth Route Army. The second is to get to know everyone and make friends. The third is to listen to everyone's views on China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the situation on the anti-fascist battlefield around the world. Other than that. If you have any difficulties, you can say them, and those that the Eighth Route Army can help solve will definitely be solved. ”

Liu Yimin said it very sincerely and homely, and the reporters eliminated the sense of distance and separation.

The New York Times' chief correspondent for China, Harrett ? Aban spoke. As soon as he came up, he asked a very sharp question: "General Liu, I want to ask." When the Eighth Route Army regained Shanghai this time, did it retreat after a fight or was it ready to hold on for a long time? ”

This problem cannot be avoided, and Shanghai became an isolated island after the Japanese occupation. The people are looking forward to the first team, like looking forward to Ganlin. Everyone hoped that the Eighth Route Army would be able to hold Shanghai.

Liu Yimin replied that it was a military secret and could not be disclosed, let alone reported. However, all the reporters actively supported the anti-Japanese resistance, and I believe that they will cooperate with the actions of the Eighth Route Army. This attack on Shanghai was a tactical operation. It was to attract and mobilize the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on the Soviet troops in the Far East. Stop the Japanese 11th Army's attack on Changsha. Once the goal is achieved, the Eighth Route Army will take the initiative to withdraw from Shanghai. However, this is a military secret and cannot be reported to the outside world.

With that, the atmosphere in the room fell silent all of a sudden.

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "Although our army has to abandon Shanghai this time, I can assure you that it will not be long before Shanghai will be completely recovered!" ”

Harrett? Aban chased after him and asked, "How long will it be?" ”

This issue involves the grasp of the overall situation of the war, and China's affairs are so complicated, it is really difficult to say that the horses will not pull the horses. Since the Battle of Wuhan, it has rarely launched a major active offensive against the Japanese army, and every battle is the Japanese army's active attack and passive defense. If the Japanese army does not attack, it will rarely take the initiative to attack. If this is the case, the only way to do this is to wait for the United States to drop atomic bombs on Japan. Moreover, the little devil has just won the Far Eastern Campaign, and he is puffing up his breath like a toad, who can figure out what the little devil will do next?

Liu Yimin can't think of Harret? Ah Ban asked like this, and was stunned for a moment, as if his thoughts had flown far and wide all at once, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. The reporters in the room were all staring at Liu Yimin to see what he had to say.

After half a sound, Liu Yimin said carefully: "Considering that the strength of the Japanese army is still huge, and then comprehensively evaluating the joint efforts of the international anti-fascist front, I personally think that it may take another two years." Two years later, I am here to witness the grand occasion of the complete liberation of Shanghai. Of course, this is my personal analysis and judgment, and it is doped with ideal ingredients. Today is a symposium, not a press conference, and you are not obligated to report what I say as news. We're just chatting with friends. ”

Harrett? After hearing this, Ah Ban's brows furrowed, and he asked again, "Is General Liu too ideal?" You must know that the Japanese army has just won a great victory in the Far East Campaign, and the front line is in full swing! If the Kwantung Army marched south to attack Shandong, it is believed that General Liu's troops would not be able to resist head-on. On what basis did General Liu say that he would win the war in two more years? ”

Liu Yimin glanced at Aban deeply, and said with a smile: "Mr. Aban, you have now become a military reporter, and the questions you ask are very sensitive, and they are all on the spot. I say this because of two words: oil. I can tell you a military secret, and I can't publicize it either. That is, the oil reserves of the little devils are generally only enough for half a year. Now the United States has a comprehensive embargo on Japan, and as long as this comprehensive embargo can be maintained, the little devil will defeat himself without a fight. Unless they can find big oil fields. However, as far as I know, there are no oil fields in China, neither in Japan, nor in the Far East. If you think about it, without fuel, the little devil's planes, tanks, and cars will all have to lie on their stomachs. In that case, how long can the country of imp bullets last? ”

Harrett? Unconvinced, Aban retorted that the Japanese army could have found oil from other places, such as oil and rubber in Southeast Asia, and that the Japanese army had now occupied French Indochina, and could take advantage of the situation to sweep Southeast Asia ().

When all is said and done, Harrett? Aban himself was stunned, he couldn't figure out why he had such a terrible thought.

In fact, this is what Aban has seen a lot of news, and he knows that Southeast Asia is now a rumor, and the American, British, and Dutch garrisons are actively preparing for war to prevent further Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia. That's why he asked this question.

Liu Yimin's eyes were raised, he looked at Aban, and said in a deep voice: "What you said is reasonable, the Japanese ambition to expand aggression is constantly expanding, and anything can happen. We must call on all peace-loving countries and peoples to heighten their vigilance and strictly guard against undeclared war by little devils. ”

That's too much of a problem, Harrett? After Aban asked, he stopped asking.

Only then did Liu Yimin begin to briefly introduce to the reporters at the forum the glorious achievements of the Eighth Route Army in persisting in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines. Then he talked about the great significance of the attack on and occupation of Shanghai.

According to Liu Yimin, the capture of Shanghai this time does not lie in whether our army can hold Shanghai, but in the fact that our army dares and can attack Shanghai, which is strongly fortified by the Japanese army, which is more important than anything else. It shows that our army's combat effectiveness has reached the test of attacking any well-fortified large city of the Japanese army, and if the little devil wants to use a garrison on the scale of a brigade to garrison such big cities as Shanghai, Nanjing, Beiping, Tianjin, Wuhan, Jinan, Taiyuan, and Guangzhou, it will only be a fool's dream. This is one of them. Second, this time our army captured Shanghai, destroyed the Japanese puppet intelligence agency in Shanghai in one fell swoop, and severely punished the traitors. Even if the little devils reoccupy Shanghai, it will be very difficult to establish a spy cave like No. 76 again. In addition, the Japanese Army's Mei Organ and the Navy's Kodama Organ were all destroyed by our army, and the Japanese army would lose its eyes and ears and fall into a situation of unknown eyes and ears in the great Shanghai. Third, Greater Shanghai is China's financial center, economic center, manufacturing center, commercial center, and shipping center. The capture of Shanghai by our army dealt a heavy blow to the economic foundation of the Japanese puppet rule. On the contrary, our army has captured a great deal, its equipment has been improved, its ammunition has been replenished, and its funding has been guaranteed. The Japanese puppet army in Central China will become poor for a long time.

After analyzing and analyzing, Liu Yimin came to three conclusions: First, on the surface, the Japanese army won the victory in the Japanese-Soviet War, but in fact the Japanese army fought a war in the Far East without any captures, consumption of soldiers, and consumption of strategic materials. Second, the Japanese army was fierce on the surface, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, but in fact the battle line was stretched too long, the supply was becoming more and more difficult, and the quality of the soldiers was getting worse and worse. The Chinese people are about to usher in the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance! Third, due to a series of victories of the squadron, which inspired the determination of the whole nation to resist the war, it was completely impossible for the little devils to use an infantry brigade to chase a division of the squadron, even their heavy sweep had to be cautious, and they were broken by our army on the one hand.

What Liu Yimin said was very realistic, and his analysis was also methodical, and the reporters listened to it. In particular, when Liu Yimin said that our army had destroyed the Japanese army's Mei Agency, Kodama Agency, and the headquarters of Wang Puppet's No. 76 Special Agent, the reporters were all excited. A reporter asked if Li Shiqun and his backbone spies could be shot on the spot to prevent future troubles!

Liu Yimin replied that a number of important prisoners, including Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army, Chen Gongbo, the puppet mayor of Shanghai, Ding Mocun, and Li Shiqun, heads of Wang's puppet agent headquarters, should be handed over to the Supreme Court for trial and conviction. As for the other spies of No. 76, most of them have been killed by our troops, and a few of the spies who went out to operate last night are still searching the whole city, and we must arrest them or kill them. The headquarters of Wang's puppet agent No. 76 will be a historical term in the future.

When saying this, Liu Yimin deliberately pointed out: "The fate of Chen Gongbo and others is the fate of Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and other big traitors. I hope that through your pen, Wang Jingwei and others will understand that being a traitor is to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and in the end it will be difficult to escape a dead word. Break with the Japanese invaders as soon as possible, and make meritorious contributions anyway, you may be able to alleviate your sins a little! ”

The amount of information contained in this symposium is enough, and everything that needs to be said has been said, Liu Yimin was in a hurry to see Ni Hua, Song Meiling and others, and he had no time, so he asked Huang Wei to let everyone open their hearts and talks, make a good record, and send it to him.

After confessing, Liu Yimin apologized to the reporters and got up and left the venue.
