Chapter 573 Picking Peaches

Liu Yimin woke up to the sound of a bomb explosion.

After continuous combat and hard work, Liu Yimin was too sleepy. Therefore, after sending a telegram to the central authorities and making arrangements for various units, Liu Yimin went to the residence of Gu Shoufu, the headquarters of the Japanese army, and lay down and slept.

In his sleep, Huang Su and Li Yimo walked towards him side by side, followed by Li Donghai, Guo Zheng and a large group of people who could not be counted, some wearing Red Army uniforms and some wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms.

Liu Yimin looked at them one by one, and every face was once so familiar, including comrades-in-arms from the Red Eighteenth Regiment, comrades-in-arms from the Central Guard Division, comrades-in-arms from the Red Seventh Army, and comrades-in-arms from previous battles. However, they are all martyrs who have sacrificed.

Liu Yimin burst into tears, took Huang Su and Li Yimo's hands and said, "Lao Huang, Lao Li, you are not dead?" Great, let me see, how are you doing? ”

Huang Su and Li Yi were silent, just smiling and looking at him, floating gently past him.

Liu Yimin shouted anxiously: "Stop Lao Huang and Lao Li, why don't you talk to me?" Come back soon."

Not only did Huang Su and Li Yimo not stop, but Li Donghai, Guo Zheng and other martyrs did not stop, smiling and floating in front of him one by one.

Liu Yimin shouted anxiously: "Stop, I order you, all of you, turn back"

It seemed that the order had worked, Huang Su and Li Yimo led all the martyrs to turn around and salute Liu Yimin in a neat manner.

Liu Yimin's eyes flickered, and when he looked carefully, he saw that all the martyrs' military uniforms were replaced by the military uniforms of our army when the first award of titles in later generations, Huang Su, Li Yimo, Li Donghai, and Guo Zheng's epaulettes were clearly shaking, and the medals and ribbons on their chests were golden, and all the martyrs behind were also wearing military uniforms, with strict military appearance and brilliant medals.

I only heard Huang Su shouting loudly in his thick Cantonese accent: "Comrade commander, the troops have been assembled and are about to charge, please instruct"

Liu Yimin was taken aback, hurriedly raised his hand to return the salute, and was just about to speak, when there was a flower in front of him, the picture in front of him changed: the Japanese plane was frantically dropping bombs and strafing, Li Yimo was waving a small flag and directing the air shooting, Huang Su was full of anxiety, standing on the side of the road and waving his hands and shouting loudly for the soldiers to hurry up and enter the mountain, Guo Zheng and Li Donghai led groups of soldiers covered in blood with cold and shining bayonets and singing "Iron Flow 25,000 Miles" like little devils rushing away.

Liu Yimin's eyes were full of tears, and he watched his comrades-in-arms flash in front of him one by one, rushing towards the devil.

The picture suddenly disappeared, replaced by Chen Yaoguang's pear blossom and rainy face, and asked him softly, "Do you still miss me?" ”

Liu Yimin woke up suddenly.

After waking up, my mind was full of chaos, and I couldn't figure out why I dreamed of Huang Su, Li Yimo, Li Donghai, Guo Zheng, Chen Yaoguang and other martyrs.

After lying quietly on the bed for a while, listening to the explosions and gunfire outside, I knew that it must be the little devil's plane that came to make trouble again. However, listening to the density of anti-aircraft fire, there are not many planes of the devils, could it be that the air defense battle is almost over?

Raising his wrist and looking at the table below, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Oh my God, I slept all day

Liu Yimin didn't dare to lie in bed anymore, got up and washed his face, and went to the staff office.

As soon as he walked to the door of the staff office, Zeng Zhongsheng greeted him: "Division commander, are you awake?" Why don't you sleep more? ”

Liu Yimin was concerned about the battle situation and asked anxiously: "Has the enemy situation changed?" Did the Japanese machine launch a crazy revenge today? ”

Zeng Zhongsheng said: "There has been no major change in the enemy situation, the Japanese army in Taixi has retreated to Yanzhou to set up defenses, the Japanese puppet army in Lunan has retreated to the starting point of the attack, and the enemy's 14th Division has all arrived in Xuzhou. The Japanese army in western Luxi and the Japanese army in southern Hebei retreated on all fronts and gathered around Dexian County. The Japanese planes did not make large-scale sorties, and they still blindly investigated. However, the positions of our troops in Jinan, Hedexian, Yanzhou, and Lunan were bombed, but the scale was very small. ”

Liu Yimin hurriedly asked: "Are there any casualties?" ”

Zeng Zhongsheng reported: "Chen Shiqu and Xu Shiyou reported that the troops had taken cover measures such as smoke control, and the casualties were not large. ”

Liu Yimin then asked, "Did the chairman call back?" Do you agree with us? ”

Zeng Zhongsheng said with a smile: "The chairman's call back arrived early. If you don't agree with us, will you sleep until now? ”

Liu Yimin also laughed, raised his feet and walked into the staff office.

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were there, and when they saw Liu Yimin coming in, Cai Zhong said: "You came just in time, Chiang Kai-shek has promoted you again."

Liu Yimin looked puzzled: "Impossible, right?" ”

Cai Zhong's face was full of teasing: "Here, take a look, Chairman Jiang's telegram, you have been promoted to senior senator of the Military Commission"

Liu Yimin took the telegram suspiciously, and when he looked at it hastily, he kept sneering.

Cai Zhong said: "This Chairman Jiang is really fucking stingy, he has eliminated so many devils and recovered most of Shandong's territory, and he is reluctant to give even the chairman of Shandong Province, at least to a Shandong security commander or garrison commander, right?" Look at how well he said it, Liu Yimin was promoted to senior senator of the Military Commission, and he still holds his own position. The supply of instructors in the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone was discussed by Shen Honglie, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, in conjunction with the district and county governments. Officials from the city, district, and county governments in Shandong are appointed and submitted for approval by Shen Hongliequan, chairman of Shandong Province. What the fuck is this crazy thing about? Lao Tzu fought in the north and south, fighting and killing in the west, when did he pay his military salary? This captured Jinan, Shandong was basically recovered, and his chairman of the Shandong provincial government came out instead. The little devil hasn't been driven out of North China yet, and Lao Jiang is cautious. It's just inexplicable."

Luo Ronghuan said slowly: "Lao Jiang, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, will not let us do it, so it will be justified for us to establish political power in Shandong." Lao Jiang, the commander of the security and garrison of Shandong Province, will not let us do it, so it will be justified for us to expand our army in Shandong. There is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between people old and young, and there are still words of defending the land and resisting the war."

Zeng Zhong added fuel to the fire: "Chiang Kai-shek itself is not a good thing. If he adheres to Sun Yat-sen's three major policies of uniting Russia with the Communist Party and supporting the peasants and workers, where will there be our workers' and peasants' Red Army?

Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong: "Haven't you sent a good news to Chiang Kai-shek yet?" How did he find out so quickly? ”

Cai Zhong said angrily: "The communication and liaison team sent by Chiang Kai-shek has already arrived before dawn, do you still need us to send him a good news?" ”

When Liu Yimin heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What about Ni Hua?" ”

Cai Zhong looked at Liu Yimin suspiciously: "You don't have a fever, do you?" Tired of fighting like this, do you still have that mind? ”

Liu Yimin turned his face: "Director Cai, please pay attention to what you say." What thoughts, thoughts? Ni Hua's safety is very important, without her, can we have our flight instructors and military equipment? I still expect her to go to the United States to ask for help for me, I have already said many times, Ni Hua is a comrade who has been tested and made great contributions, don't always equate her with Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, she is our comrade-in-arms, not someone who needs to be suspected and guarded against. ”

Choked Cai Zhong and walked out of the staff office with a shake of his hand.

The room was so quiet that several staff officers walked out in fright.

Liu Yimin doesn't blame Cai Zhong for having prejudices against Ni Hua, mainly because Chiang Kai-shek's hand is too unpretty, and a telegram completely exposes the idea of restricting the development of the Eighth Route Army.

walked out of the house, pulled back Cai Zhong who was standing in the courtyard, personally poured a glass of water and handed it to Cai Zhong, Liu Yimin said: "No wonder the comrades are in a bad mood, it is Chiang Kai-shek who is thinking crookedly." The Battle of Wuhan was over, and although there were heavy casualties, it was temporarily unable to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army. The Japanese army did not get a good deal either, and their elite divisions also suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Wuhan, and they occupied so much territory that they needed to be garrisoned. The strategic stalemate phase of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has arrived. I estimate that the Japanese army will soon adjust its strategy toward China, and I am afraid that it will carry out a series of activities to lure surrender and sow discord, and will also concentrate its forces to reorganize the rear and point the spearhead of attack at the Eighth Route Army again. We can see this clearly, and Chiang Kai-shek will also see it clearly. As a result, the next step will be friction and disputes between the Kuomintang and Communist armies over turf. This is also something that cannot be helped, and territory means replenishment of soldiers, food, and funds. Any army that has no territory and no base is rootless and very dangerous. Shandong is such a big place and has such a large population, how could Chiang Kai-shek hand over all of Shandong to us? In his heart, if the Japanese attack is tight, then he has to shout unity to resist the war. If the Japanese offensive slows down, it will be necessary to repeat the old tune of restricting the development of the Communist Party. ”

With that, the atmosphere in the room eased.

Liu Yimin sat down, lit a cigarette, and continued: "Jinan has been captured, the peaches are about to ripen, and Chiang Kai-shek wants to come to pick peaches. Isn't that? When did Lao Tzu have this scruple and that scruple? Will you still be afraid of him? However, then again, we are all senior cadres, and we must pay attention to what we say and do, and we must not bring personal emotions into our work, which will affect the cadres and fighters. At present, we have to maintain the anti-Japanese united front, and we have to support, encourage, and promote Chiang Kai-shek's resistance against Japan. To tell the truth, there is no bloody fight on the frontal battlefield, and our Eighth Route Army alone is definitely not the opponent of the Japanese army at the moment. Everyone has also seen that for more than a year since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek has been unambiguous on the issue of resisting Japan. ** The fighting of all units is also unambiguous, and the soldiers are defending the country with flesh and blood, and they are well-known and out-and-out national heroes. As long as they persist in resisting Japan, we should sincerely fight side by side with them. If Chiang Kai-shek really disregarded the general interests of the nation and tore his face with us, then we would not be polite. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone sins against me, I will offend."

What he said was righteous and strict, and Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng all heard it in their hearts.

Liu Yimin continued: "I think about it, the focus of our work in the next step should be on consolidating the base areas, and doing a solid job in the building of political power, local armed forces, militia, military industry, and economy. Some issues, such as regime-building, require strategy. I have an idea, put it forward, everyone will consider it later, and if it is feasible, ask the political commissar to report it to the central government for study. That is, in order to better implement the strategy and tactics of the anti-Japanese national united front and to win and unite people from all walks of life to fight together in the war of resistance, it is necessary to define the nature of our political power as a national united front regime, and a regime of all people who are in favor of resisting Japan and democracy. Only one-third of the members of the government and the organs of public opinion are the members of the government, while the other parties and personages without party affiliation who advocate anti-Japanese democracy account for two-thirds. Whoever does not surrender can participate in government work. Any political party, as long as it does not surrender or does not surrender, should be allowed to have the right to exist and operate under the anti-Japanese regime. In this way, we will be able to stop the slander of our party's anti-Japanese democratic regimes at all levels. ”

Seeing that several people were in deep thought, Liu Yimin said: "This matter is not in a hurry, everyone thinks about it slowly, and when we look back, we can also hold a meeting of the Shandong Bureau to study it." Another issue I would like to mention is that the work we deployed in the previous stage was suspended due to the large-scale sweep by the Japanese army, and now we must pay close attention to implementation. For example, on the issue of reorganizing the motley armed forces, there are still many armed groups in Luxinan, Luxi, Lunan, and Taixi, and some of these people are anti-Japanese and some are traitors, and they must all be cleaned up this time. There are also some armed forces who carry out activities under this banner, such as Li Wenli in Luzhong, Zhang Jingyue in Qinghe, and so on, and they should think of asking them to hand over their troops and accept the reorganization of our army. I can join our regime, I can be a county magistrate or a commissioner, as long as I surrender my arms. If you don't pay it, you have to find a way. There is only one principle: there must be no armed forces in our base areas that may undermine the War of Resistance. Another example is the problem of digging tunnels, and the tunnels in central Hebei, southern Hebei, western Hebei, and Hebei and Lubian have all played a role, covering the masses and troops, and defending the base areas. As a result of continuous operations, the main forces of our army have regained and lost their base areas, and the hinterland of Shandong does not have the time and energy to develop tunnel warfare, and it is urgent to catch up. Then there are the issues of finance and taxation, the construction of the military industry, the expansion of armaments and warfare, the construction of communications, and the issues of health and education. As long as the base area is stabilized, we are not afraid that the Japanese army will launch an encirclement and suppression on the same scale as last time. Tunnel warfare, mine warfare, cold guns, and traps everywhere will make the little devils dizzy."

Liu Yimin said so much, but he just put forward an idea and let a few leaders think about it slowly. In the end, Liu Yimin said: "In short, it is just two sentences: grasp the construction of base areas with one hand, and grasp the whole armament war with the other hand. In the construction of the base area, the political commissar is in charge of the general, and several other standing committee members cooperate. In terms of armament warfare, Director Cai and Chief of Staff Zeng are responsible. In accordance with the projects agreed upon at our past meetings, we will implement them one by one. ”

By this time, Cai Zhong was already in a good mood, and said with a smile: "You are holding a meeting for us to arrange work." Do you want to take the opportunity to go back to Xi'an to meet the chairman? ”

Liu Yimin nodded and said: "Observe for a few more days, if there is no major change in the enemy situation, it means that the little devil is slowly accumulating strength, and there may be a period of relaxation." Then I will take the opportunity to go back to Xi'an and report to the Central Committee. The chairman has already said it several times, but it's all because the little devils can't get away. ”

Zeng Zhongsheng asked, "What about Gu Shoufu and Guan Guizhi?" ”

Liu Yimin waved his hand: "Shot in Jinan public trial"

Cai Zhong suggested: "Do you consider handling it like Otaka Kamizo and sending it to the Nationalist Government for public trial, otherwise it will cause the Japanese army to retaliate frantically?"

Liu Yimin smiled proudly: "So what?" We just let Gu Shoufu go, won't the Japanese army retaliate against us? There is no invincible me, and there is no enemy without me. For a demon like Gu Shoufu, killing without forgiveness not only kills, but also kills the little devil to pee his pants when he mentions the three words of the instructor This time, we must be fully prepared, so that the bereaved families of the martyrs of the Jinan tragedy will participate, and the witnesses who were slaughtered by the Sixth Division will participate. In one fell swoop, they should expose all the evil deeds of the Japanese invaders in front of the whole world, so that little Japan will be greatly embarrassed in the international community. Director Cai, you are responsible for this matter, and lead Yang Dalin and Wang Laohu to prepare well. I plan to let Jingjing and Wang Peng hold an exhibition of our army's achievements since the Anti-Japanese War when they are on public trial, and organize the citizens of Jinan to watch it. ”

Luo Ronghuan asked: "Division commander, now that the traffic to Luxi and southern Hebei is open, do you send them the artillery that is ready to equip the 115th Division, 120th Division, 129th Division and Independent Division?" ”

Liu Yimin laughed in his heart when he heard this, these old guys were 100% old Red Army, and they had no selfishness at all, so they nodded.

Luo Ronghuan chased after him and said, then send a telegram to the logistics headquarters and ask them to prepare immediately.

Liu Yimin confessed: "When sending the telegram, remember to tell Wu Zheng and ask him to bring Li Qiang, Qian Zhidao, and Claire for a trip, and I want to meet them." ”

When Zeng Zhongsheng heard that Liu Yimin wanted to see Wu Zheng and Claire, he knew that there must be a new move in the military industry, and immediately said: "Division commander, now that we have a large strategic room for maneuver, the arsenal can expand production. Now there are two kinds of weapons that are urgently needed, one is a bazooka to fight tanks, and the other is an anti-aircraft machine gun. The Luxi Garrison Brigade, the Luxi Second Garrison Brigade, the Southwest Luxi Garrison Brigade, the Taixi Garrison Brigade, the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade did not even have a single rocket launcher, and there were few air defense weapons. It is the main brigade, and there are more and some less. It's easy to say anything else, these two things have to be developed in any case, and the troops should be equipped as soon as possible. If the Taixi Garrison Brigade had bazookas and anti-aircraft guns, Huang Su and Guo Zheng would not have sacrificed. ”

As soon as he said Huang Su and Guo Zheng, Liu Yimin remembered the scene in his dream. Tell Cai Zhong to hurry up and arrange the public sacrifice in Jinan and arrange the cemetery of the martyrs.
