Gan Xuezhong asked Zhou Fu to order Zhang Yuan and Wu Huawen to retreat, and quickly the 51st Army and the 57th Army moved closer.

The purpose is to take care of Zhang Liyuanbu and Wuhua Wenbu.

Now the matter is very clear, Zhang Liyuan's army that mixed into Linyi City was expelled from the city, and was beaten out of the city by the Eighth Route Army. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen commanded the army to besiege Linyi City and failed, which was equivalent to completely tearing their faces with the Eighth Route Army. After Liu Yimin learned that Linyi City was still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, he would not ask what to do at all, and would definitely return to the division to encircle and annihilate Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department. This is a fact that a child understands.

Zhou Fu also graduated from Huangpu, but he can engage in political propaganda, and he is not good at the military, he sees the current situation very clearly, if the 51st Army and the 57th Army go all out to reinforce Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen, there should not be much problem in taking Linyi City. However, Zhou Fu also knew that things had to be done, and Chairman Jiang let them quietly enter and occupy Linyi City, but he did not let them start a full-scale war with the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, and they were not opponents. Including the 51st Army and the 57th Army, they are not opponents of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army. If he does so, it is likely to play into the hands of Liu Yimin and provide him with an excuse to solve the armed forces of Zhang Liyuan, Wuhua, and even the entire Shandong region by force. That's more than worth the loss.

Zhou Fu resolutely carried out Yu Xuezhong's order this time, and immediately sent a report to Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen, asking them to immediately stop the siege of the city, quickly withdraw their troops, and move closer to the 51st and 57th armies.

After receiving Zhou's telegram, Zhang Liyuan glanced at Linyi City in the night, his eyes were confused, and he muttered to himself: "So many brothers are lying under the city!" Wu Huawen was not as sad as Zhang Liyuan, his heart was full of anger, he felt that he had been betrayed again, and said indignantly: "Yu Xuezhong is old and decrepit, and he is not enough to conspire, and the Northeast Army is not enough to justify." These people are afraid of Liu Yimin, if we get closer to them, once Liu Yimin's reinforcements arrive, maybe they will tie us up and send us to Liu Yimin, and easily make up for the 51st Army and 5 Huawen with our infantry This is not nonsense, Liu Yimin proposed at the Fei County Joint Military Conference that in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the main forces of the 51st Army and the 57th Army, it was suggested that Yu Xuezhong order the transfer of troops from Zhang Liyuan's department to make up for the 51st Army and the 57th Army. Although Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan did not join this meeting at that time, there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention Zhou Fu, who joined the meeting?

Overnight, from controlling Linyi City to being driven out of Linyi City to failing to attack the city and then to asking Zhou Fu for help to no avail, Zhang Liyuan, who was hit by a huge contrast, was dizzy. After listening to Wu Huawen's words, Zhang Liyuan said: "Let's retreat to the southwest mountainous area!" The reason why Wu Huawen was unwilling to move closer to the 51st Army and the 57th Army was that he was afraid that Yu Xuezhong would not be able to resist the pressure of the Eighth Route Army and betray them, but also had another meaning, that is, he was unwilling to live a life under the fence anymore. It turned out that when Shen Honglie was there, he was unwilling to act with Yu Xuezhong's Sulu Theater Headquarters, Shen Honglie was gone, the Shandong Provincial Government seat was vacant, and Wu Huawen became a lone army, and he was even more unwilling to get mixed up with the Sulu Theater Headquarters. It was also Wu Huawen, Lei Fazhang, who temporarily acted the Shandong Provincial Government, and Ning Chunshuang, who was the acting Shandong Provincial Security Command, were unwilling to act with the Sulu Theater.

Zhang Liyuan offered to retreat to the mountainous area southwest of Linyi, because it was his old base. But Wu Huawen didn't agree. Wu Huawen came out of the melee between the army and the army, and knew that once both sides tore their faces, they would put the enemy to death. Although he has no dealings with Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin's affairs are in the big newspapers and tabloids, and he knows very well that it is good to retreat into the southwest mountainous area, but he is afraid that he will be caught up by the main army of the Eighth Route Army reinforcing Linyi, and then there is only a dead end.

Wu Huawen proposed that he should not withdraw to the southwestern mountainous area, but could only immediately withdraw to the front line of Taierzhuang.

If the Eighth Route Army is in a hurry, it will go south from Taierzhuang to the Henan-Anhui border area. When I got there, I lived a safe life.

Zhang Liyuan was reluctant to leave Shandong, and Ning Chunshuang, an adviser to the acting Shandong Provincial Security Command, reminded that the matter of attacking Linyi had been messed up, and that reinforcements from all walks of life of the Eighth Route Army would soon arrive, and that it would be impossible to get rid of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army by withdrawing into the southwestern mountainous area. It is really impossible, just according to what Commander Wu said, cross the Longhai Road, withdraw to the Suzhou-Anhui border area, and then go south to Dabie Mountain. As soon as you cross the railway, you will be safe. In the future, it can also join up with Li Xianzhou's 92nd Army and fight back to Shandong.

As a result, as soon as several people discussed, they immediately called Zhou Fu back, saying that they would withdraw to the Taierzhuang area.

After receiving Zhang Liyuan, Wu Huazhong and Zhou Fu and others for consultation, they felt that this was not a stopgap measure, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen's hole was too big, and the Eighth Route Army would definitely not let them go, even if it was with the 51st Army and the 57th Army, as long as it was between Feixian and Linyi, that is, in the outflanking circle of the Eighth Route Army, there was still danger anytime and anywhere, it was better to withdraw to Taierzhuang, which could completely relieve the possible pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

Yu Xuezhong immediately telegraphed Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater to retreat to the purpose of Taierzhuang, and asked the radio to send a report to Liu and Luo, the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, saying that Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department had accepted the order of the Sulu Theater and assembled on the front line of Taierzhuang to carry out the combat mission of cooperating with the Eighth Route Army.

Liu and Luo called for arrears, and the situation became more and more severe for Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen.

At the beginning of the Linyi Revolution, Zhang Liyuanbu poured into Linyi City in disguise as refugees. At that time, because the main force of the Eighth Route Army surrounded and annihilated the main force of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army in the county seat of Feixian County, it was normal for the villagers to run around the old days. Compared with the time when Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen led the main forces to advance to Linyi, they all took the Zilin Highway to the Taiwei Highway, and the armed forces in various places in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the grassroots political power received a notice that the troops of the Sulu Theater were going to Taierzhuang and fortified Xuzhou, and there was no problem of intercepting them.

When he received the report from the special operations team that monitored the main forces of Zhang Liyuan's Ministry and Wuhua's Ministry of Culture, and Liu Yimin's order to be intercepted by armed forces in Linyi, it was too late.

Wu Huawen led the main force to arrive at the city of Linyi smoothly. At this time, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen dared to attack Linyi City, and the truth was revealed, and the armed forces and militias in the Linyi base area all took action, and began to pour in from Linyi City to reinforce the Linyi defenders.

When Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen were retreating, they saw that the vast field was full of torches rushing towards Linyi City and the highway, and they were so frightened that their gall bladder broke and they knew that if they moved slowly, they might fall into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. Unable to care about the wordiness anymore, he hastily sent an urgent telegram to Zhou Fu and Yu Xuezhong, and fled along the Taiwei Highway to the purpose of Taierzhuangbiao.

At the critical time, it was still Wu Huawen's army, which was the old roots of the Northwest Army, and the officers and soldiers were united and cohesive, and the retreating squadron was not scattered. Wu Huawen didn't care about what to say at this time, so he let his new Fourth Division take the lead in opening the way, leading Zhang Liyuan's department and Zhou Fu's Rongziheng Brigade to escort the personnel of the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command to retreat south.

Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen were so frightened that they couldn't sit still in Miao Zhengliu, the county seat of Fei County, and he knew that Zhou Fu transferred a regiment of Rongziheng's brigade to intervene in the operation to occupy Linyi. If he didn't agree, Rong Ziheng wouldn't be able to mobilize a regiment at all. As soon as he saw Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen report that the Eighth Route Army had begun to encircle on all sides, Miao Zhengliu thought that the main reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army had arrived and no longer dared to hide it for Zhou Fu, so he hurriedly told Yu Xuezhong one by one.

Yu Xuezhong was so angry that he just wanted to slap Miao Zhengliu in the face, but he endured it and didn't make a move. He originally thought that the matter in Linyi was done by Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen behind his back, and had nothing to do with his 51st Army and 57th Army. Liu Yimin is not short-sighted and does not distinguish between right and wrong, and after knowing the inside story, he will definitely not take the 51st Army and the 57th Army. Although the 51st Army and the 57th Army suffered heavy casualties, the result was still a well-trained and well-equipped regular army, and the Eighth Route Army also needed to join forces with the 51st Army and the 57th Army to fight the enemy. Now all this has changed, the first part of the 57th Army actually intervened in the Linyi incident behind his back, this matter cannot be concealed Liu Yimin will definitely know, this is not good for going home.

Mu Zhongheng was unwilling, pointing at Miao Zhengliu's nose and scolding him for losing his arms and dismantling the commander-in-chief's platform. then scolded Zhou Fu for not being a tool, and set a trap for the Northeast Army to jump.

scolded and scolded Mu Zhongheng and scolded even more ugly words, saying that since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek had ill intentions and split the Northeast Army into armies and divisions, resulting in the Northeast Army being disrupted and completely consumed on the battlefield.

Yu Xuezhong stopped Mu Zhongheng and ordered Miao Zhengliu to return to the defensive area immediately, effectively control the army, and not a single soldier should be mobilized without his order.

Miao Zhengliu was about to leave, when Yu Xuezhong received a report that the medical team of the Eighth Route Army, which had stayed in the county seat of Feixian County to treat the wounded of the Sulu Theater Army, had quietly evacuated, and had not even taken away medical equipment and supplies.

Yu Xuezhong was stunned all of a sudden, the medical team of the Eighth Route Army was in such a hurry, it was obvious that they had received an urgent order, they didn't want anything, and retreated in a hurry. What does this mean?

Zhou Fuxian couldn't sit still, and said that the wolf ambition of the Eighth Route Army was clearly revealed, and suggested that Yu Xuezhong order the army to lead the army and prepare for the attack on the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Jingxuan, the chief adviser, seemed to think of the armored mechanized army of the Eighth Route Army at this time, climbed to the map and measured it with a ruler, and then told Yu Xuezhong that if there was no strong army to block it, according to the speed of the mechanized army's march, at the latest, the mechanized army of the First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army led by Liu Yimin could kill all the county towns of Linyi, and the slowest could also kill the county seat of Feixian. The cavalry armies of the Eighth Route Army in Yixian, Zaozhuang, and Tengxian counties in the south were faster, and they were already approaching the Taiwei Highway at this time. Maybe he will soon catch up with Zhang Liyuan and Wu Hua, and the Ministry of Culture will carry out a cover-up. Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen are in danger, and the 51st and 57th armies are also in danger.

Extremely suspicious!

Yu Xuezhong was also confused, the demeanor of the commander-in-chief and the general was gone, his face was sallow, and he kept asking what to do, what to do?

Wang Jingxuan is worthy of being the chief adviser, and he can still come up with some ideas when it is critical. I heard him say: "Commander-in-Chief Yu: The fault for this matter lies with our side, if we can contact Liu and Luo, we may be able to eliminate the misunderstanding." However, the problem of Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen is not easy to handle, no matter what, they belong to the Sulu Theater sequence, and they are also carrying out the orders of the Military Commission, no matter which way you look at it, the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater should take care of their safety. The question is, can we take care of it? Besides, due to the unauthorized actions of the Rongziheng Brigade, the Sulu Theater could no longer extricate itself from the Linyi incident.

The army also guarded the traffic between Fei County and Linyi, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army wanted to quickly advance to Linyi and pursue Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen. When these two armies meet, should we let them go or not? Let them go, and they will not be able to give an account to Chairman Chiang and the Military Commission. If he is not allowed to pass, he will inevitably exchange fire with the Eighth Route Army, and in this firefight, it will definitely be us who will suffer, and our army will not be able to deal with the armored army of Liu Yimin's department alone. ”

Yu Xuezhong said anxiously: "Don't be wordy, tell me what to do!" ”

Wang Jingxuan pondered for a moment and said: "Our army can only abandon Fei County, move to Taierzhuang, and continue to implement the battle plan with the Eighth Route Army, which may be able to resolve the current crisis." ”

Zhou Fu was reluctant to say this: "Adviser Wang, the order given to us by the Military Commission is to stick to the anti-Japanese war in the Lunan Mountains and establish a consolidated base in the Lunan Mountains. You are fleeing against the order, and you will be punished by military law! ”

Mu Zhongheng got up again, pointed at Zhou Fu's nose and shouted: "Mom, I think you have bad intentions." Do you have to ask the Eighth Route Army to lead me and wipe out the army before you are willing? ”

Miao Zhengliu had no director, and at this time, he was anxious to confess his attitude in front of Yu Xuezhong, and also echoed: "Director Zhou, withdraw to Taierzhuang first, and wait for the two sides to calm down, and then negotiate with the Eighth Route Army, is it not a bad way!" ”

Zhou Fu secretly scolded the Northeast Army in his heart for being a military army, and they were all fucking cowards!

Wang Jingxuan continued: "Retreating to the front line of Taierzhuang, you can catch up with Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen, and the two armies will be combined to strengthen their strength." Retreat, you can cross the Longhai Road into the Suwan area, and wait for Li Xianzhou's department to come to meet. This can form a solid defensive ground, deter the Eighth Route Army from taking risks easily, and gain time for us to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army and redivide the defense area.

Yu Xuezhong took Wang Jingxuan's suggestion, stopped the noise of several people, and ordered the whole army to take immediate action and move towards Taierzhuang. The General Headquarters followed the 51st Army, followed by the 57th Army. Wang Jingxuan, the chief adviser, was left to contact the Eighth Route Army in the county seat of Feixian County, responsible for negotiating with the Eighth Route Army, affirming the willingness of the Sulu Theater to unite with the instructors of the Eighth Route Army to resist the war, and asking Liu and Luo to refrain and not send troops to pursue the troops in the Sulu Theater. @
