Chapter 632: Wind and Rain

Chapter 632 is stormy

For three days in a row, the radio station of the Japanese puppet army broadcast the news they had fabricated non-stop, and even the newspapers joined in, and some photos were published on them, including those of Toshishi Yamada and the princess. Well, some of the more progressive newspapers in Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Guangzhou began to reprint some fake news about the Japanese army because they couldn't figure out what the little devils were trying to do, and at the same time, in order to seize the selling points of the news. The most powerful thing is whether Ni Hua has a relationship with Jun Yamada and whether the Japanese princess is by Liu Yimin's side.

Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan and others have a thorough understanding of the Japanese army's tricks, which does not mean that everyone else can see it thoroughly.

Liu Yimin knows that rumors have been said a thousand times to be the truth, and he often uses this hand to deal with and deceive little devils. Therefore, on the first day of the Japanese army's propaganda war, Liu Yimin ordered the Political Department to quickly counterattack and refute the Japanese army's slander and rumors one by one, so as not to let the little devil's conspiracy to slander the Eighth Route Army succeed. However, in the propaganda war, the side that always spreads rumors takes the lead, and can make up nonsense at will, and the counterattack of the political department of the instructor seems a little pale and weak.

At this time, it was the eve of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and the news of the Eighth Route Army's establishment of anti-Japanese base areas, the formation of an anti-Japanese democratic regime, and the reorganization of the local armed forces of the Kuomintang propagated on the radio of the Japanese puppet army became the focus of attention of people with concerns. The members of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang gathered in Chongqing talked about two things, one was Vice President Wang's treason and defection to the enemy, and the other was naturally the establishment of local political power in Shandong and the reorganization of the local armed forces of the Kuomintang by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army.

Most of these members of the Kuomintang Central Committee insisted on resisting Japan, and some had a grudge with Wang Ching-wei. But they have one thing in common, and that is to prevent ** from growing and growing. Some time ago, the Japanese army has been attacking, and they can't take care of settling accounts with **, and now the momentum of the Japanese army's attack is weak, and it's time to discuss the issue of **. If we don't take measures and let the development continue, we will turn China into a red before the Japanese are busy with China. As a result, these members of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, who were always the first to retreat to the rear, began to form small groups, gathered together and muttered, ready to discuss the issue of how to limit the development of the Kuomintang at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee.

Early in the morning of December 20, Shen Honglie, Qin Qirong and others and Shen Zui, the leader of the ** resident tutor communication and liaison group, blocked the door of the tutor's division and asked to meet Liu Yimin.

Shen Honglie did not leave Shandong and accepted Liu Yimin's suggestion to work together. Liu Yimin was so busy that he didn't bother to ask him how he was recruiting instructors for the Naval Academy. As soon as he heard that he was asking to see him, Liu Yimin invited him to the office.

Shen Honglie did not come to report on the preparations for the establishment of the naval school, his question was very simple, that is, he wanted to personally inspect the garrisons of Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan to see if the rumors of the Japanese army were true. Otherwise, it would not be possible to report to the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, the Nationalist Government, and the Military Commission. Shen Zui's question is simpler, saying that he asked Division Commander Liu to give an order to launch a large-scale search and arrest in Shandong, capture the Japanese princess, and use this Japanese princess to exchange for ** prisoners of war.

Although Liu Yimin did not know the specific battle plan of the Japanese army, he knew that once the Japanese army launched, it would inevitably attack fiercely, and I was afraid that there would be swarms of planes in the sky and ant-like infantry on the ground. However, his battle plan was to wait for the devils to leave the strong defense line to launch an attack before launching a thunderous blow, at this time the Japanese army had not yet launched, and the main force of the instructor had to continue to hide and wait. For the sake of security, Liu Yimin still issued an urgent order to completely fortify and clear the wilderness in the Shandong base area, requiring all organs and schools to withdraw to the mountainous areas, the militia, district squads, and county brigades to prepare for mine warfare and tunnel warfare, and the troops facing the Japanese army in the direction of Dexian, Qingdao, Yanzhou, and Lunan to prepare for a large-scale attack by the Japanese army.

At this time, Liu Yimin was staring at the movements of the Japanese army with all his attention, and when he heard that Shen Honglie was looking for him to inspect Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan's troops, he became angry and couldn't help asking: "Does Chairman Shen also believe in the rumors of the Japanese army?" ”

Shen Honglie blushed a little, but still replied: "Division Commander Liu, I don't believe in the rumors of the Japanese army, but there is an order from the upper peak to meet the two commissioners Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan to check the actual situation of their troops." Thank you for your understanding."

Liu Yimin looked at these people, except for He Siyuan, there are some resolute guys in history, and they are going to part ways after all. Even He Siyuan, if he is forced to cooperate with our party now, he may not be able to do it. However, the Japanese army was about to attack on a large scale, and these people were all high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Government, and Shen Honglie was the provincial chairman and security commander

After calming down for a while, Liu Yimin patiently persuaded: "Chairman Shen, I believe that you have received a strict order, you must go to see Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan, and you may also want to collect some evidence of our army's reorganization of their troops." I can responsibly tell you that against their troops, our army did not take any action. If I wanted to reorganize them, they would have joined the Eighth Route Army long ago. Think about it, the troops of the Japanese army have been wiped out by us, will Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan be our opponents? Our army has only reorganized a part of the people's army in Luxi, mainly because when the Japanese army attacked Liaocheng, those people's troops defending Liaocheng abandoned the city and fled against the orders of General Fan Zhuxian, resulting in the martyrdom of General Fan Zhuxian. Wang Laixian's First Route Army, which abandoned the city and fled, had already secretly colluded with the Japanese army, and after fleeing to Linqing, it was ready to surrender to the Japanese army, and launched an attack on the 10th detachment stationed in Linqing and the 16th detachment of Ji Zhanao, which fled to Linqing, and the two sides started a melee in Linqing City. After our army eliminated the 21st Division of the Japanese Army in the military attache village, it rushed to the aid of Luxi, preparing to meet the Japanese army that attacked Liaocheng and formed the 4th Brigade independently. Only then did our army attack Lincheng, eliminate Wang Laixian's troops, and meet the Japanese army in Linqing, and completely annihilate the independent mixed into the fourth brigade. The story of this incident has already been reported to the Military Commission, and it belongs to the elimination of the rebels, and Chairman Chiang should know very well. What I said is true, there is no lie, if Chairman Shen does not believe it, you can find someone to understand. If you really want to see Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan, you can send a telegram and order them to report the situation, but you don't have to go in person. ”

Qin Qirong was impatient, and asked very rudely: "What Senior Commander Liu said is so good, what is the matter with Li Wenli's Kao Bin group?" Are they rebels too? ”

For Qin Qirong, Liu Yimin doesn't have a good impression at all. This guy is a friction expert named by the chairman in history, and he is burdened with the blood debt of the cadres and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and he also hooked up with the Japanese puppet army. However, now that history has changed, Qin Qirong has not yet shown his true face at this time, and Liu Yimin can't take measures against him, so he can only patiently explain: "Kao Bin's regiment is not a rebel, but an anti-Japanese hero who stands up to the sky." At that time, they were attacked by the Japanese army, and the whole regiment suffered heavy casualties, and when our troops arrived to the rescue, the whole regiment was less than 300 people. After the battle, Kao Binzhi asked our army to treat the wounded, and asked to join the Eighth Route Army, and was willing to return to the free return of the Li Wenli Department. As a result, only more than 20 soldiers who were not wounded returned to the Li Wenli Department, and the remaining more than 200 wounded accompanied Kao Binzhi to our army's field hospital for treatment. They are still in the field hospital, and Chairman Shen can see them at any time. ”

Qin Qirong wanted to join Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan, the purpose was to pull up an army under his own command so that he could compete for territory with the Eighth Route Army. Liu Yimin explained that he also played the piano to the cow. No, as soon as Liu Yimin finished speaking, Qin Qirong stepped up: "What you said is so good, in fact, it is to cover up the fact that you have annexed the ** local armed forces." The reorganization of Wang Laixian's department is to eliminate the rebels, and the annexation of Kaobin's regiment is their voluntary participation in the Eighth Route Army. Master Liu, I know that you are clever and eloquent, but no matter what you say, you can't stop our determination to join Li Wenli and Zhang Liyuan. ”

Liu Yimin was annoyed, and his two sharp arrow-like eyes suddenly stared at Qin Qirong's face, which frightened Qin Qirong for a moment, and involuntarily shrank behind Shen Honglie.

I only heard Liu Yimin say coldly: "Qin Qirong, what kind of thing are you?" Do you dare to say anything to me? Where were you when Lao Tzu wiped out the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army and the Chahar Corps? Where were you when Lao Tzu wiped out the 8th and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army? Tell you, the total record of the entire ** is not as good as the devils killed by Lao Tzu's mentor, don't talk about you, that is, Chairman Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, who are polite to me. Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, Zhang Qun, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, which one is not polite when they see me? When will it be your turn to accuse me? If it weren't for the bloody battle of our Eighth Route Army, you might have been captured and surrendered by the devils now, and you could still stop picking bones and talking nonsense like this? I'm telling you, when you get to Shandong, you have to be honest, if I find out that you have done something to sabotage unity and resist Japan, hehe, you can be careful."

Shen Honglie hurriedly played a round: "Senior Commander Liu, Director Qin is also in a hurry to complete the task assigned by Shangfeng, I am a little anxious, please forgive me." ”

Qin Qirong heard Liu Yimin say that he might have been captured by the devil and surrendered, and he was unwilling, and he wanted to reason with Liu Yimin again, He Siyuan held him tightly.

After calming down for a while, Liu Yimin felt that some things had to be said thoroughly, so he softened his tone and said: "Chairman Shen, I only advise you not to go, because the Japanese army is very likely to launch a heavy encirclement and suppression of Shandong, and you can guarantee safety if you move with the main force of our army." Whether it is Li Wenli or Zhang Liyuan, they are not capable of protecting your safety. In the past, they were able to survive because the Japanese army did not really regard them as opponents. If the Japanese know that you are there for them, I can guarantee that a large group of Japanese troops can wipe them out. In addition, there is another situation you have to consider, the Li Wenli Ministry has Japanese spy activities. If you want to go, please also go to Zhang Liyuan, as far as I know, Zhang Liyuan is relatively reliable. If we encounter an attack by the Japanese army, we must quickly move closer to our army and must not stay in danger. You must know that you are the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, and once you fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, the consequences will be unimaginable."

This is said very sincerely, Shen Honglie is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows that Liu Yimin really cares about his safety. However, the task must still be completed.

Shen Honglie thought for a moment, and then said angrily: "Just do what Master Liu said, I'll go to Lunan Zhang Liyuan to see the situation first." If this is not possible, I will lead the provincial government to join the Eighth Route Army, or the idea is to retreat to northern Henan. Don't worry, if I fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, the old man is not Wang Jingwei, he will not be a traitor, and he will die with the Japanese invaders. ”

Liu Yimin listened to his generosity, and it was not good to stop him any longer, so he opened the drawer, took out two sticks, and took out two boxes of bullets, and handed them to Shen Honglie and He Siyuan for self-defense. Then he called the chief of staff, Zeng Zhongsheng, and asked him to replenish ammunition for Shen Honglie's guards, and notify the troops along the way to answer and escort them, so that Zeng Zhongsheng took Shen Honglie and them away.

Shen Zui, this is the second time he has faced Liu Yimin at close range. Just now, when Qin Qirong confronted Liu Yimin, he vaguely hoped that Liu Yimin would arrest Qin Qirong, so that there would be a good show. It's a pity that Liu Yimin was angry and didn't do anything about Qin Qirong. Later, seeing that Liu Yimin was very thoughtful about Shen Honglie's safety, Shen Zui felt a little guilty in his heart. However, with the task in hand, he still raised the question of the Japanese princess.

Liu Yimin bluntly told Shen Zui that there was indeed a high-ranking Japanese female killer with the pseudonym Tang Xiu'er who had been to Shandong, and I don't know if it was a princess with the purpose of assassinating Liu Yimin. She was not accompanied by a female official of the Japanese Imperial Palace, but a girl from Juxian Dadian Zhuang who went to study in Japan, named Zhuang Yulian. Now the problem is clear, these two women disguised themselves as fugitive students in Beiping, mixed into the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, and when they arrived in Jinan, they did meet themselves at the breakfast stall in Jinan. Tang Xiuer detected the take-off time of the plane at the airport and reported it to the Japanese army, causing her aircraft formation to be intercepted by the little devil fighters. After Tang Xiuer committed the crime, she killed Zhuang Yulian and two soldiers who were watching, and fled. Among the rumor-mongering news of the North China Front, this point is quite true. It is estimated that Tang Xiuer should have fled to Beiping and informed them of the situation.

Shen Zui is a personable person, and he is also a martial artist, good at points, and is a well-known action master in the military command. As soon as Liu Yimin told him about the situation, he knew that he had not lied to him. If Tang Xiu'er was really a Japanese princess and was hiding in Shandong, I am afraid that she would have been caught by her tutor a long time ago, and with Liu Yimin's character, I am afraid that she would have been shot in public trial. You must know that Tang Xiuer killed Liu Yimin's guard commander, caused the Eighth Route Army to lose five planes, and almost killed Liu Yimin himself.

However, Shen Zui is also a person who practices martial arts, and he is very competitive, and when he heard that Tang Xiu'er was strong in martial arts, he was a little eager to try, and asked Liu Yimin to take the initiative to ask for help, saying that once Tang Xiu'er's traces were found, please inform him, and he would arrest this female assassin with his own hands.

Liu Yimin glanced at Shen Zui and told him that he was not Tang Xiu'er's opponent, don't think that he would be great if he knew a little bit of acupoint kung fu, it was far from it, it was better to go to Shanghai if he had that thought, where there was a concession cover, and he could kill devils and traitors to his heart's content.

After saying a few words, Liu Yimin suddenly asked, "When Dai Li sent you, did he give you other tasks?" ”

Shen was stunned for a moment, and then closed his mouth and did not answer.

What Liu Yimin hates the most is a spy, and he knows that Shen Zui is not very old and has a lot of qualifications, and he is a capable officer under Dai Li. I also know that people like Shen Zui were also hot-blooded young people at the beginning, and they were also enthusiastic to participate, but the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Government began to betray ** without complete success, and more and more often, burying many people's ideals. Of course, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many spies of the military command stood on the front line of resistance against Japan, did not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice, and wrote many legends.

Liu Yimin said word by word: "Dai Li must have given you a task, that is, to ask you to assassinate me when necessary." Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a master of action like you to me. You go and report to Dai Li, it's still the same old saying, don't mess with me, I look forward to hearing the news that you are showing off your skills in Shanghai and Nanjing."

Drunk and gone.

These difficult guys are gone, Liu Yimin grabbed the phone to call Qian Zhuangfei, and asked if there was a telegram about the change of the enemy situation. Qian Zhuangfei reported that there was, and he sent it over immediately.

At this moment, Hu Di, the Minister of Security, led two comrades from the Ministry of Social Affairs to come, saying that they wanted to report to Liu Yimin.

Liu Yimin has a problem, it may be that he has read too many books before the crossing, and he is very wary of the social department in charge of Kang Sheng. Although he also knew the special honor that the red agent had established for **, he always couldn't let go of some heroic souls who died unjustly in his mind. Now that Kang Sheng is no longer the Minister of Society, I don't know what these two comrades are looking for him, is it that they are here to investigate Wang Dahu's violation of military discipline and killing prisoners?

The two comrades of the Social Department were the same man and woman who came with the two cadres of the General Political Department last time, and Liu Yimin did not even ask their names.

After the two of them saluted Liu Yimin and reported, it was the female comrade who spoke first: "Report to Comrade Liu Yimin: We need Comrade Ni Hua to write a report on her study and work in the United States, and review her." In view of the fact that Comrade Ni Hua is your wife, Chief Hu Di does not dare to call the shots, and asks us to report to you and ask for your approval."

Liu Yimin's eyes suddenly became sharp, looking at Hu Di and the two comrades.

Hu Dibu reported: "Division commander, I have already said that Comrade Ni Hua's work in the United States is under the leadership of a central leader, and we do not know the specific situation. But the comrades of the Social Department insisted on seeing you, so I had to bring them with me. ”

Only then did Liu Yimin find that this lesbian was medium-sized, combed with two short discs, with a fair face, double eyelids, and big eyes, standing there neither humble nor arrogant.

Originally, it was normal to ask Ni Hua to write a report. However, it's not okay to be censored, it's just playing the piano indiscriminately, Ni Hua is so pure, he doesn't have the string of intra-party struggle in his head, maybe he won't be able to accept it, and he will be greatly stimulated. If you make a mistake or make a mistake, it's easy to get caught. In the future, if there is any movement like in history, these things may be misinterpreted, and that is not good.

Consider that the deputy chief of the General Staff of Zuo Quan still wears the hat of a Trotskyist, directs operations during the day and writes petitions to the Central Committee at night. Liu Yimin was cross-minded and said carefully: "Ni Hua went to the United States to study, and she spent her own family's money, which has nothing to do with our party. As for her work in the United States, at the beginning I was entrusted by me to help us do what we could, purely to ask her to help us in the Red Army. Later, the Central Committee made it clear that Comrade Chen Yun contacted her mainly by using her identity and social connections to purchase materials and raise funds for us. She herself was not a member of the party, and the appointment of her as deputy director of the field hospital of the Seventh Army Corps at that time was intended to attract her sympathy, support, and help for the Red Army, and was not a formal appointment in the strict sense. The Central Committee knows this, and the records of the Party Committee of the Red Seventh Army are also on file. In other words, after Comrade Ni Hua returned from Wuhan, he could be regarded as truly joining our army. In front of her, our army asked her for help, including rescuing me in Chengdu. Therefore, Ni Hua's study and work in the United States does not need to be reported to anyone, nor does she need to be reviewed by anyone, it is purely her personal matter. Of course, Comrade Ni Hua has done us a great favor and made great contributions, and everything she has done is clear to the central authorities. If the Social Department needs to know, you can go to Comrade Chen Yun, he knows everything. You can also go to the chairman and vice chairman Zhou, they also know that there is no need to look for Ni Hua. She is not a party member now, but a high-level intellectual and professional in the army. Don't bother her in the Social Department. ”

The female comrade listened to what Liu Yimin said lightly, and wiped Ni Hua away, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Report Comrade Liu Yimin: Ni Hua is the vice president of the Eighth Route Army General Hospital, the vice president of the instructor field hospital, and your wife. According to the principles of the organization, she is obliged to explain everything to the organization, including all her experiences before participating in **, and to accept the organization's review. ”

Seeing that the female comrade was full of words, Liu Yimin thought about it and said slowly: "I have already said that Ni Hua is not a party member yet, and she cannot be required according to the standards of party members, nor can she be required according to the organizational principles. As long as she is dedicated to resisting Japan and not violating the discipline of the Eighth Route Army. When she has progressed in her thinking after a period of study and education, and asks to join the party, she will naturally report everything to the party organization. ”

When he said this, Liu Yimin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, the chairman asked Ni Hua to go to the United States again to seek assistance, and he would definitely not let the Ministry of Social Affairs review Ni Hua, which was unreasonable

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yimin asked: "By the way, I forgot to ask you, who approved Ni Hua to write a report and accept the review?" Why didn't the Central Committee notify the Shandong Bureau and the Party Committee of the Shandong Military Region? ”

The female comrade replied: "Report to Comrade Liu Yimin: We are the staff of the Central Social Department stationed to teach teachers, and this is our duty. ”

When Liu Yimin heard this, he slapped the table and shouted loudly: "You two can represent the Ministry of Social Affairs by playing the piano indiscriminately?" Dare to casually censor comrades? If you want to review Ni Hua today, will you want to review me and Political Commissar Luo tomorrow? Hudi, what do you eat? These two comrades and the two comrades of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters originally went on a business trip to Shandong together, when did they become staff members stationed in the teaching instructors? Why didn't you report it? ”

When the female comrade saw Liu Yimin's anger, she was not timid, and said loudly: "Report to Comrade Liu Yimin: The two of us did come to Shandong to do business, but there was an incident of the Second Cavalry Regiment killing prisoners, and Minister Kang instructed us to investigate and deal with it. This matter has not been dealt with to the end, and we have stayed with the instructor. Now, the radio stations and newspapers of the Japanese puppet army are using Ni Hua's study in the United States to spread rumors, shouldn't we care? Shouldn't Ni Hua be censored? For your safety, we are also obligated to help the Instructor Security Department review Ni Hua. ”

Liu Yimin's tone became colder and colder: "After talking for a long time, it turns out that you are making your own decisions."

When the female comrade heard this, she was anxious and said loudly: "Comrade Liu Yimin, how can you say that we are making decisions privately? Aren't we asking you for instructions? The job of the Ministry of Social Affairs is to check all suspicious elements and ensure the purity of our ranks. We are fulfilling our duties, please support us and approve our review of Ni Hua"

Liu Yimin didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said to Hu Di: "Send these two comrades back to Shaanxi." He sent a telegram to Li Kenong, telling him to study and study how to sum up the lessons of the Soviet region's suppression and expansion of the anti-rebellion, how to enhance the democratic atmosphere within the party, how to improve the security system within the party, how to establish an accusation and appeal system within the party, and how to standardize the work of the social department. If he has studied thoroughly, he will report directly to the Central Committee, and by the way, he will send a compilation of systems to the Shandong Bureau, and we will organize the study. In addition, you should write an inspection to the divisional party committee, conscientiously examine the problems existing in the security work, and find out how to solve them. Don't wait until Political Commissar Luo and I are assassinated by the Japanese, and you cry and wipe your tears, then I'm afraid it won't be as simple as writing an inspection. ”

Liu Yimin is now a member of the Central Committee, which is also in line with his status.

Hu Di knew that he had been miserable by these two girls and guys from the Social Department who didn't know the height of the sky, and his face became extremely ugly, and after saluting Liu Yimin, he pulled up the two comrades from the Social Department and walked out.

When Qian Zhuang flew in, he ran into Hu Di pulling two comrades from the Social Department out with a depressed face, and the female comrades shouted "Comrade Liu Yimin, please support us"

Qian Zhuangfei reported: "Division commander, I just received a report from the headquarters that the Japanese army on the Zhengzhou front launched a surprise attack on the troops of the first theater last night. This morning, the Japanese army in Shanxi launched an all-out attack on our base areas in southeastern Shanxi, central Shanxi, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, and northwestern Shanxi. The Japanese army dispatched a large number of aircraft, and the main force also poured out, and the offensive was fierce. In addition, the Japanese army in the Pingjin area commanded the North China Public Security Army and encircled eastern Hebei. Our Pingxi base area and Luxi base area were both attacked by the Japanese army. A call came from the headquarters asking us to quickly report the enemy's situation. ”

Liu Yimin snatched the telegram and read it carefully.
