Chapter 956: The Battle Situation is Chaos
"Cangzhou Lion Dingzhou rides, Zhengding Bodhisattva Zhaozhou Bridge...,.
These two sentences are talking about the four treasures of North China. The Cangzhou lion is the iron lion in front of the Kaiyuan Temple in the old state city of Cangxian County, also known as the Zhenhai roar. Dingzhou Tower is the ancient tower of brick and wood structure in Dingxian County, also known as Kaiguang Temple Tower. Zhengding Bodhisattva is also called Zhengding Mansion Bodhisattva, is the bronze thousand-handed thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva statue in Longxing Temple in Zhengding City. Zhaozhou Bridge is an arc-shaped single-hole stone arch bridge on the Ru River in Zhao County. Among them, Cangzhou Lion is a cast iron process, Dingzhou Tower belongs to the construction process, Zhengding Bodhisattva is a copper casting process, and Zhaozhou Bridge is a bridge beam process.
On the evening of November 8, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong led a large army across the Fuyang River and hid between Zhao County, Ningjin, and Jin County.
After having a discussion with the cadres of the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade in Zhangwan, Liu Yimin left Zhangwan Town that night and began to march towards the target of Shijiazhuang. Along the way, there was no danger or danger. The reason is that the Japanese army was afraid that the main force of our army would attack the enemy in Shangqiu in the south, attack the enemy in northern Henan in the west, and attack the enemy in Luxi in the north, so they urgently shrank their military strength, and the Japanese puppet army occupying the Luxi and southern Hebei regions was ordered to concentrate in the Dong'e area, block the passage of the Eighth Route Army to the north to Dong'e, and cover the Japanese army's heavy army group to enter the southwest of Luxi in the west, and the main force all flocked to the canal and the Yellow River crossing area in the Dong'e region, and the Japanese puppet army remaining in the south of the wing had to retreat back to the key county towns on the main transportation routes, and the vast area of southern Hebei became the world of the Eighth Route Army again. In this way, the army led by Liu Yimin went out day and night, and under the response of our army in the southern Hebei region, it unexpectedly completed the long-distance march to here.
At this point, Liu Yimin's plan to mobilize the Japanese army and capture Shijiazhuang was about to be realized.
Liu Yimin ordered the high-power radio station to be turned on and contacted the Central Committee, the General Headquarters, and various armies to understand the battle situation.
Since leaving Zhangwan, in order to conceal his combat intentions, Liu Yimin strictly ordered the radio station to enter a state of radio silence. Now that he has arrived at his destination, he will soon call for an attack, and Liu Yimin can't wait to understand the battle situation in all aspects.
The Central Committee and the General Headquarters reported that the 115th Division Cup and the main force under the command of Chief Nie launched an operation in the western Liaoning region, and the 115th Division and Yang Jingyu's First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Union actively responded to the operation, and the three armies launched a stormy attack in western Liaoning and southern Liaoning, and the Japanese puppet army was caught off guard, and our army had captured five county seats. It is believed that the main forces of the Kwantung Army in Shandong will soon retreat.
The chief also reported that Ni Hua had returned to Chongqing safely on November 4, but Song Meiling proposed to Deputy Zhou that Ni Hua stay in Chongqing to give birth, and took Ni Hua's father from Chengdu to Chongqing and placed a residence in Chongqing. Please Liu Yimin consider whether to agree with Ni Hua's production in Chongqing,
In the end, the conditions in Chongqing were slightly better.
Chen Shiqu recounted the battle situation in southwestern Shandong, saying that in accordance with the commander's order, the three main regiments of the southwestern Shandong garrison brigade were divided into three target areas to the east, north, and south to guard against the enemy. At present, the Japanese army's three-way army is gathered, and the main forces are all concentrated in the southwest of Lu, including the 2nd Guards Division commanded by Fujii Hirotoshi on the southern front, the Taiwan Self-Reliance Brigade, the 15th Division, the 1st, 5th, and 7th Brigades of the Self-Reliance Mixed Brigade, and the remnants of the 38th Division: The 1st Division, the 2nd Division, the 7th Chinese Regiment, the 23rd Division, the 1st Guards Division, and the Heavy Artillery Brigade under the command of Yasui Toji on the Northern Front have joined forces at the 37th, 40th, 41st and four public security army groups in Luxi. Swept southwest Lu from north to south: On the eastern front, the 4th, 6th, 11th, and 24th divisions of the Japanese army under the command of Yamashita Fengwen crossed the Weishan Lake and Dushan Lake areas, and attacked from east to west in the Huxi area. In just 10 days, the Japanese army has fully occupied the southwestern part of Shandong, and the three-way army has achieved a division. Our Southwest Lu garrison brigade and the armed forces of the premises had to be fully transferred to the tunnels.
In his telegram, Chen Shiqu said that the base area in southwestern Shandong had completely fallen, and the effectiveness of the struggle had been ruined.
Zeng Zhongsheng recounted that the situation in central and southern Shandong had deteriorated sharply, and after the main force of the Japanese army combined to attack Lunan and the main force advanced westward into southwest Lu, the commander of the 9th Division, Kekou Jiichiro, commanded the 9th Division, the 114th Division, the 29th Division remaining in southeastern Shandong, the Xuzhou garrison, the 22nd Brigade and Regiment stationed in the East China Sea, and the Manchurian Ting Army. The troops of our Lunan Military Region, the armies of the Lunan Detachment, the Fourth Brigade, the Luzhong Garrison Brigade, the Tai'an Detachment, and the armed forces in various places are all in a state of engagement with the enemy, and in addition to the Taiyi central base area, which is still under our control, the Japanese army has captured the communication arteries of southeastern and southern Lunan and most of the county towns, and even Linyi has to be abandoned. This time, the Japanese army's tactics have changed, and Keichiro Keichiro adopted the method of concentrating forces to attack one target, and then attacking the next target after he got it. If our army holds on, it will fall into the outflanking net of the Japanese army, and if it does not hold on, the base area will be gradually lost, and the space for movement will become narrower and narrower. In addition, because the Japanese army knew that the main force of our army was no longer in central and southern Lu, it became emboldened and began to carry out night sneak attack operations, and fought against our army at night. The most odious thing is that the Japanese army transferred a group of Han Jiān and urban gangsters who had fled to these areas from Jinan, Qingdao, and Xuzhou, and cooperated with the Japanese army to sweep away the DNG and form a puppet regime.
Yuan Guoping and Xu Guangda recounted the situation of the anti-sweeping DNG in the Jinan area, the Qinghe area, and the Luzhong area, saying that the Japanese puppet army's offensive had become extremely active. Under his strict orders, the actions of the 32nd and 36th Divisions became extremely bold, including the 17th Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Zhangqiu, which also changed its defensive posture and actively attacked.
In particular, Li Wenli's puppet army and Jinan's puppet army, after being strengthened by the strong men captured by the Japanese army from the migrant workers who built the road on Pinghan Road, expanded their strength, followed behind the Japanese army's buttocks, set up a stronghold in our base area, and pulled the net to sweep the DNG. During this period, our Jinan Garrison Brigade and Qinghe Garrison Brigade have been in the process of breaking through, and the army has suffered a large attrition.
Li Qing recounted the situation in the Jiaodong and Jiaolai areas, saying that after the Japanese Fifth Division and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade ended the battle of Lunan Combined Attack, they first returned to the Jinan area, and then transferred to the Qingdao area. The 5th Division was a mechanized army, and the 4th Cavalry Brigade was highly mobile. Relying on the mobility advantage of these two armies, the Japanese army boldly interspersed detours and captured the main force of our army. Driven by the 5th Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the 28th Division of the Japanese Army remaining in Jiaodong, the 18th Brigade of the Self-Mixed Brigade stationed in Jiaoxian, the Qingdao Garrison, and the Jiaoji Road Garrison were actively offensive. In addition, after Qin Yutang, commander of the sixth guerrilla column in the Sulu Theater of Operations, surrendered to the enemy, several more premises were armed to surrender to the enemy. Under the care of the Japanese army, these troops who surrendered to the Han Dynasty openly occupied and encroached on our base areas.
Li Qing said in the telegram that the 3rd, 7th, and 8th Brigades had been on covert standby because they had to carry out the task of attacking and occupying Qingdao with their cameras. In this way, the Jiaodong and Jiaolai areas are only the main force of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, and they are powerless to change the situation of the enemy and us in the Jiaodong and Jiaolai areas. The commander was asked for approval to allow the 3rd, 7th, and 8th Brigades to immediately attack the Qingbi initiative and force the Japanese to return to help. Or approve the three main brigades to participate in the anti-sweeping DNG operation, break the Japanese puppet army's frantic sweeping of our base area, and stop the situation from further deteriorating.
Wang Jian'an, commander of the Taixi Garrison Brigade, sent a telegram saying that the Tai'an, Jining, and Yanzhou areas were now garrisoned by the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, the 16th Brigade of the Self-Reliance Brigade, and two puppet North China Public Security Army groups. The Japanese puppet army is making every effort to repair railways and highways, and relying on roads and railways to build strongholds. After the Japanese heavy army group pounced on southwest Lu, our Taixi garrison brigade and the local armed forces had already begun to instigate a small army attack on the Japanese puppet army.
As soon as the radio station was turned on, I also got in touch with Ni Hua and Tang Xingying.
Ni Hua said in the telegram that after she returned to Chongqing, several cousins, Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui, Vice President Zhou, and Sister Deng all went to the airport to greet her. Now living in the second cousin's Songting Villa, Han Qing has returned to her after the jet lag, and the telegram is sent and received by Han Qing.
Ni Hua once again recounted the situation of renting a merchant ship to transport supplies when she returned to China, and asked Liu Yimin to contact the merchant ship in time and do a good job of receiving it.
Ni Hua said in the telegram that her eldest cousin, second cousin, and third cousin all persuaded her to stay in Chongqing to give birth before returning to Shandong, and her old father also rushed to Chongqing and wanted her to stay in Chongqing to give birth. She wanted to return to Shandong as soon as possible and reunite with Liu Yimin, but the third cousin resolutely disagreed and insisted that she give birth in Chongqing. The date should be given birth at the end of the month, and she considered that if there was no particularly urgent task, she would give birth in Chongqing, so that her second cousin could take care of them.
Ni Hua asked Liu Yimin to name the child, saying that it was pitiful enough to see his father at a glance after the child was born, and the name must be there, and it must have a good name.
Tang Xingying has returned to Xi'an, lives at home in Xi'an, and calls Liu Yimin through the radio every day. As soon as the radio station on Liu Yimin's side was turned on, Tang Xingying captured the signal and got in touch.
In the telegram, Tang Xingying first eagerly asked about the situation of Shandong's anti-sweep DNG war, the transfer of the FU Committee, the loss of the base area, and whether the main force was safe, and then told her and her mother, and her son,
Ping'er has returned to Xi'an safely, and together with Sister Cai and Sister He, she reported the visit to the Central Committee, and was praised by the Lord. Now that all the tasks have been completed, the details will be elaborated on when we return to Shandong. She is now waiting to return to Shandong to join the anti-sweep DNG operation. If the situation in Shandong was critical, she wanted to leave her mother and two sons in Xi'an, rush back to Shandong on foot with the guards, and fight side by side with her comrades.
