The outcome of the Linyi incident was unexpected by all parties, and the reaction of all parties was also much beyond Liu Yimin's expectations.

The news release of the Central News Agency (CSNA) on the fact that Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen had secretly attacked Linyi accused the instructors of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone of openly defying the orders of the Central Military Commission and attacking the Shandong Provincial Government, the Provincial Security Command, and the Third Prefecture Commissioner's Zhang Liyuan, the New Fourth Division, Wu Huawen's Department, the 51st Army, and the 57th Army, which were ordered to be stationed in Linyi, a famous city in southern Lunan, and causing heavy casualties. This kind of behavior hurts the relatives and enemies, and can only make the Japanese devils see jokes.

Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone, is no longer worthy of the title of the invincible hero of the Chinese nation's resistance against Japan, but has become a new warlord and a powerful faction in the new place that is trying to seize Shandong.

Immediately afterwards, the Central News Agency broadcast the order of the chairman of the Chinese Civil Affairs Committee, in view of the fact that the instructors of the 18th Group Army did not obey the military orders, attacked friendly troops, sabotaged the unity of the War of Resistance, and violated the laws and regulations of the Republic of China regime organization, wantonly canceled the legitimate grassroots political power of the Republic of China in Shandong, impacted the grassroots organizations of the Kuomintang, and established illegal governments at all levels. Illegal publications. Liu Yimin, the lieutenant general and division commander of the division, was a revolutionary soldier and a high-ranking general, but he had no military discipline and no leader, and acted recklessly, and dared to expel the communications and liaison group sent by the Central Military Commission to the division, cut off contact with the central authorities, and also made a big show for his own benefit, commanding his subordinate instructors to attack friendly troops, and destroying the regular army, security divisions, and guerrilla columns with regular numbers. He was dismissed from his posts as a senator of the Military Commission and the instructor and division commander of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone, deprived him of the rank of general, demoted to second lieutenant, and appointed as a second lieutenant and probationary platoon commander of the 18th Group Army, and ordered Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army, and Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief, to conduct military law and discipline education, and to report to the instructor and division commander, deputy division commander, director of the Political Department, and commanders of all brigades and regiments of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone to await approval of the appointment.

Chiang Kai-shek was punished and humiliated by the wrath of thunder, and he almost declared the instructor a rebel and Liu Yimin a criminal.

In one day, Liu Yimin was demoted from a lieutenant general division commander who had made meritorious contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance to a second lieutenant probationary platoon commander, and his military rank was reduced by eight ranks, starting from division commander, and his position began as division commander, and crossed the rank of deputy division commander, brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, battalion commander, deputy battalion commander, company commander, and deputy company commander, and was directly demoted to the rank of probationary platoon commander. Chiang Kai-shek really dared to think and do.

It is true that the Kuomintang declared the New Fourth Army a rebel army and abolished the number during the Southern Anhui Incident in history.

Compared with Chiang Kai-shek's punishment of the instructor and Liu Yimin, the method of judging the army commander Ye Ting was not heavy, the main reason was that he had no way to take the tutor and Liu Yimin. If he can't eliminate the tutor and catch Liu Yimin, he can only do this.

What resonated with the voice of the Central News Agency was the clamor of some newspapers and radio stations in the rear that adhered to Chiang Kai-shek's will, one-sidedly propagating the crimes of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in sabotaging the unity of the War of Resistance and attacking friendly forces. The streets of Chongqing, Chengdu, Changsha, Guilin, Kunming, and Guiyang were full of childish cries from newspaper boys: "Sell newspapers and newspapers, the Eighth Route Army has attacked friendly troops!" ”

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army has been revoked!" "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, let's see that Lieutenant General Division Commander Liu Yimin has been dismissed and demoted to second lieutenant probationary platoon commander!"

For a while, the rear was cloudy, and the old surname didn't understand that it had just been announced that Liu Yimin had led the army to eliminate the main force of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army and achieved a great victory in southern Lunan.

The Xinhua News Agency broadcast a commentary entitled Anti-friction and Anti-Retrogression, detailing the course of the Linyi Incident, pointing out that the Linyi Incident was carefully planned by someone who put the overall situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on the losing arm... of traps and traps. Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen instructed their subordinates to infiltrate Linyi City and control Linyi City by means of a surprise attack, Lei Fazhang, who was acting for the Shandong Provincial Government, and Ning Chunshuang, who was acting for the Shandong Provincial Security Command, suddenly reported to General Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was far away from the Tai'an front, informing him that he had been ordered by the Military Commission to be stationed in Linyi. In order to calmly deal with the Linyi incident and reduce the losses of the conflict, General Liu Yimin issued an order ordering the instructor to stay in Linyi and withdraw the army from Linyi City. At this moment, some soldiers of Zhang Liyuan's department, who controlled Linyi City, broke open the gate of the Linyi rear hospital of the Eighth Route Army, snatched the guns of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and insulted the female medical staff of the Eighth Route Army Hospital. The matter could have come to an end at this point, waiting for the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater and the instructor Liu and Luo Chang to send people to inquire and visit and negotiate measures, but unexpectedly, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen led the main force to arrive, thinking that they had sufficient military strength, and they actually braved the disapproval of the world to attack Linyi City, intending to destroy the Eighth Route Army left behind in Linyi in one fell swoop. How could the army left behind in Linyi by my instructor be only one battalion and only five people, how could it resist the attacks of Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division, Zhang Liyuan's Shandong Security First Division, the Sulu Theater Guerrilla First Column, and a regiment of Yu Xuezhong's Rongziheng Brigade? At the critical juncture, Linyi was driven by the city, and the residents held large swords, spears, and bird guns to hold the city wall, and fought to the death against Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen's perverse actions. As a result, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen failed to attack the city, fled south, and were surrounded by the Linyi people's self-defense forces, and the two sides fought. Lei Fazhang, acting of the Shandong Provincial Government, and Ning Chunshuang, acting of the Shandong Provincial Security Command, were captured by our army and are now thinking about it in the prisoner camp.

Xinhua News Agency pointed out that in the Linyi incident, our instructor and commanders and fighters showed a high sense of patriotism and awareness of the overall situation.

Liu and Luo were reasonable, well-founded and restrained in the Linyi incident, and showed great restraint.

After I reinforced the main force of Linyi and rushed to Fei County, I learned that Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department had withdrawn south, and Liu and Luo Chang immediately ordered to stop the advance, and sent Cai Zhong, director of the political department, to the county seat of Fei County to contact Wang Jingxuan, the chief adviser of the Sulu Theater. Liu and Luo Chang immediately ordered the armed forces along the Taiwei Highway to get out of the way, so as to facilitate the Xuezhong Department to fortify the front line of Taierzhuang. Yu Xuezhong's troops left in Fei County were heavily planted and wounded, and our army should not leave any difficulties and escort them to Taierzhuang to join Yu's troops, expressing their sincerity in uniting and cooperating and eliminating conflicts.

Xinhua News Agency pointed out in a commentary that the news release of the Central News Agency ignored the truth of the Linyi Incident and rivaled the Japanese heroic army instructors who had made great achievements in spreading rumors, slandering and pouring dirty water. When the instructor eliminated the Japanese Chahar Corps and recaptured Taiyuan, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor attacked and occupied Tianjin, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor eliminated the main force of the Japanese army's division and mixed it into the fourth brigade on its own, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor fought back against the Japanese army's encirclement of Jizhong, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor went east to Shandong and formed the B Brigade between Dawenkou and Beijipo on Jinpu Road, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor eliminated the main force of the Japanese army's division and self-reliance to form the Sixth Brigade and the puppet army Zhang Buyun and Liu Guitang, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor eliminated the Japanese army and formed the 10th Brigade to occupy Tai'an, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? Where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng when the instructor started the Luzhong Campaign to eliminate the Japanese Eighth Division, the Third Brigade of the Self-Reliance Mixed Brigade, the Qingdao Garrison, the Jiaoji Road Garrison, and Zhang Zong's aid to the puppet Shandong Autonomous Coalition Army, and the attack and occupation of Qingdao? When the instructor eliminated the main force of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? Where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng when the tutor Zhou Village fought bloody battles and made trouble in Jinan City? When the instructor attacked and occupied Lianyungang and eliminated the main force of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan,

Where is Rong Ziheng? When the instructor implemented the morning glory tactic and led the devil heavy army group south to the north, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor started the Battle of Jiaoji Road, eliminated the Japanese Army's 1st Horn Division, the 33rd Division, and captured the commander of the 12th Army, Otaka Kamezang, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor eliminated the 34th Division of the Japanese Army and the Jinan garrison, the puppet army of Jinan City, captured Jinan City, and captured Gu Shoufu alive, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor started the Battle of Taixi, wiped out the 14th and 35th Divisions of the Japanese Army, and formed the 13th Brigade by himself, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor implemented the tactics of fighting in the north and pulling in the south, attacking and pulling in the south, capturing Cangxian and Suxian, and sweeping the Suwan region, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? When the instructor defeated the main force of the Japanese 114th Division in the eastern section of Longhai Road and forced it to return to Japan to make up for it, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? The instructor attacked and occupied Taiyuan Airport, Tianjin Airport, Qingdao Airport, Xuzhou Airport, and the Eighth Route Army Aviation Corps twice annihilated the North China Front Flying Group.

When the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier formation of the Dragon Soil was blown up, where were Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng? Throughout the history of the Eighth Route Army, the war history of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army was brilliant, the prestige was great, the Japanese army was frightened, and the people of our country rejoiced. Compared with the records of Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Zihengbu and the records of the instructors, it is compared to Gao Shan with mud pills! Compared with Wu Huawen, Zhang Liyuan, and Rong Ziheng and the invincible general General Liu Yimin, it is a bird's nest compared to Hongyu! Since the start of the war, in addition to assisting Pang Bingxun's troops to defend Linyi, has Zhang Liyuan also eliminated a devil? Wu Huawen fled all the way with Han Fuqu, and was later taken in by Shen Honglie and taken to Shandong. The Rongziheng Brigade is known as the elite of the Northeast Army. Ask him if he has wiped out a squadron of the Japanese army with a brigade of elite and formed into a formation? It was in the just-concluded victory in southern Lunan that Wu Huawen led his troops to escape, Zhang Liyuan refused to participate in the battle, but led the army to plot a sneak attack on Linyi, and inserted a steel knife into the heart of the instructor who was fighting with the Japanese army on the front line, and still acted on the orders of the Military Commission, which military commission is the Military Commission? Is it the military council that leads the anti-Japanese resistance or the military council that leads the civil war and friction!

At the end of the article, Chairman Chiang of the Central Military Commission did not pursue the culprit who provoked the Linyi Incident, but instead wanted to revoke the name of the victim instructor, ban the anti-Japanese democratic regime and anti-Japanese organization in Shandong, publicize anti-Japanese publications, and remove General Liu Yimin from his post as division commander. The instructor is the squadron's most meritorious army, and General Liu Yimin is a world-recognized anti-Japanese general, such an army and such a general will not only not be able to make up for the national government's military expenses and a single bullet, but will be revoked and removed from his post, and will also suffer the personal insult of being demoted from the division commander of the lieutenant to the second lieutenant probationary platoon commander.

After the Xinhua News Agency made its comments, it immediately announced by means of a telegram that the Central Committee and the 18 th Group Army Headquarters had decided to set up the Shandong Bureau of the Central Committee, with Liu Yimin as secretary and Luo Ronghuan as the second secretary: The Shandong Military Region of the 18 th Group Army was established, with Liu Yimin as commander, Luo Ronghuan as political commissar, Tan Zheng as deputy political commissar, Zeng Zhongsheng as chief adviser, and Cai Zhong as director of the Political Department. Chen Shiqu served as deputy chief adviser, and Cheng Cuilin served as deputy director of the Political Department.

With the tough appearance of the Central Committee and the headquarters of the 18th Group Army, the leaders of the divisions and detachments of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army sent telegrams one after another, supporting the decision of the Central Committee and the headquarters of the 18th Group Army and refuting the Kuomintang's faulty proposition of sabotaging the unity of the War of Resistance.

Suddenly, since the Anti-Japanese War, the situation of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been destroyed, and the two sides have been tense.

sent a telegram to Liu Yimin, criticizing Liu Yimin for being indecisive, not seizing the opportunity to solve Yu Xuezhong's ministry on the spot, and not taking advantage of the situation to completely annihilate Wu Hua's Ministry of Culture and Zhang Liyuan, leaving a tail and trouble. Shandong's friction will continue! Although Liu Yimin's intentions in hoping to maintain the situation of unity and resistance against Japan were good, Chiang Kai-shek had already determined that Shandong and northern Jiangsu had become the dominant force of our army. We must adopt resolute measures to suppress our army. Although Comrade Liu Yimin was resolute in the struggle against the enemy, he did not have enough understanding of Chiang Kai-shek's endowment and harbored illusions, with the result that our army did not seize the good opportunity of the Linyi Incident and resolved all the stubborn troops engaged in friction in World War I. In this way, the situation in Shandong in the future will be more complicated, the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will be generalized, the Kuomintang will set off, and the Japanese army will press the border again. This problem is bound to be proven by future practice.

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng's telegram orders were even more severe, and Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan were soft-hearted, acted with benevolence, and let Yu Xuezhong go. Liu and Luo were strictly ordered to hurry up the decorations, and threaten the south with the main forces of the 1st Brigade, the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the New 1st Brigade, the New 4th Brigade, and the New 8th Brigade, and expel Yu Xuezhong's troops from Shandong. Then he freed his hands and concentrated his forces on the heavy Japanese army.

The telegrams of the chairman and the boss were all cipherland, and the newspapers in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army presented articles criticizing Liu Yimin.

One of the most striking essays is titled "Lost Illusions, Facing Reality."

In the article, the author discusses the mistakes of various policies and methods after the Eighth Route Army instructors marched into Shandong. There are several main points: First, there is very little ideological struggle within the party, government, and army in Shandong, and there is a harmonious atmosphere among the comrades, and everyone is good, and it seems that the party, government, and army in Shandong are as pure as a blank sheet of paper. In this way, the function of our party and our army to be purely self-conscious through ideological struggle is undermined.

After a long period of time, comrades will inevitably lose their vigilance and give opportunities for bad people to infiltrate the party and the army. The example is Lunan Zaozhuang Han Jihan Jihan Jimei is the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army who defected to the enemy. Second, because the wife of the division commander Comrade Liu Yimin was Soong Meiling's cousin, the army did not have a sufficient understanding of the Kuomintang's endowment, and only emphasized unity in the war of resistance and did not stress resolute struggle. Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Song Meiling, went to the tutor Lao Jun twice, and Chiang Kai-shek was awarded military ranks, bonuses, and a communication and liaison group, and even the righteous daughters were sent to the tutors to join the army.

Although Comrade Chen Yaoguang eventually became a glorious martyr, it was a victory in our army's political and ideological work, and it was Chen Yaoguang's self-awakening who was unwilling to be swayed by spies. Objectively speaking, Comrade Liu Yimin was wary of Chiang Kai-shek's hand, and he was also vigilant against the cadres and fighters, but vigilance alone was not enough, and we should adopt the method of resolute struggle to resolutely struggle against him. Due to the lack of the spirit of struggle against the Kuomintang in Shandong's party, government, and army, the Kuomintang miscellaneous armed forces in Jiaodong, Qinghe, Jiaolai, northwestern Shandong, and southern Shandong all had Kuomintang miscellaneous armed forces building bases in our army's base areas, enjoying the care of our army. Third, Shandong's Lou Zhengjun implemented policies to the right. Now is the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and a strict wartime supply policy should be implemented, but the Shandong base area has a very tight grasp of commercial circulation, and some urgently needed materials such as cotton, grain, salt, kerosene, cloth, edible oil, etc., are all put on the market for circulation, and even allow the Ministry of Yu Xuezhong and the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wu Hua to purchase grain and other materials in the base area, so that they can exchange the inexhaustible depreciation of the fiat currency for valuable grain, so that they can prolong their breath. What is more, the people in the Shandong base area are also allowed to trade some of the products they produce with the occupied areas, for example, there are merchants in the Luzhong District who sell maza and silk to the enemy-occupied areas. At this time, the soldiers and civilians in the base areas of Shanxi were not even allowed to guarantee the supply of coarse grain under the sweep of the Japanese army.

In the end, the article concluded that the party, government, and military leaders in Shandong harbored illusions about the Kuomintang, and called on the party, government, and military leaders in Shandong to lose their illusions and face reality squarely. @。 @
