Chapter 566: Breaking the City (5)

Traditional culture is very particular about the word "forbearance".

Luo Ronghuan is a veritable gentleman in the army, and the word "forbearance" is naturally very deep.

If you can make the gentleman unbearable, then you don't have to "endure" anymore.

Listening to Luo Ronghuan's murderous words, Liu Yimin had mixed feelings in his heart, this little devil who was called a dog had let an outstanding talent of the Chinese nation sacrifice on the battlefield.

Think about the history of Huang Su as the political commissar of the Red First Army and the first division of the battle of Zhiluo Town, and then think about himself in order to change his fate, he was specially adjusted to the Xi'an Garrison Headquarters, who knew that he was worried about the national disaster, took the initiative to ask the central government for help, and returned to his subordinates again, and finally the horse leather shroud, blood spilled on the battlefield, Liu Yimin felt that Huang Su was worthy of being the leader of the workers' pickets of the provincial and Hong Kong strikes, and he had been fighting for his ideals all his life, fighting for the country and the nation, and he died glorious, great, and deserved.

Just as he was about to continue Luo Ronghuan's words, Qian Zhuangfei hurriedly walked in and reported that there was an emergency.

Liu Yimin was a little irritable at this time, and he didn't read the telegram, so he asked Qian Zhuangfei to report directly.

Qian Zhuangfei reported that there were three situations, one of which was an urgent report from the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, saying that the army had already invaded Wuhan and Guangzhou, and Chiang Kai-shek had flown to Hengyang to take command. The second situation is that the headquarters reported that the 1st, 2nd, and 23rd Divisions of the Kwantung Army have already moved south, and although our troops have sabotaged communications along the way and delayed the enemy's advance, the devil's forces are too strong and have achieved little success, and it is expected that the enemy will move south through Shanhaiguan this night or tomorrow morning. The third situation is that the 14th Division of the Chinese Army has already returned from eastern Henan and is hurrying in the direction of Xuzhou, and the vanguard has arrived in Xuzhou by train, and the main force is expected to arrive in Xuzhou this night.

When Liu Yimin heard this, he couldn't care about being irritable, so he took the telegram from Qian Zhuangfei's hand and read it carefully. After reading it, it was handed over to Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong and Zeng Zhongsheng for circulation.

After reading the telegram, Cai Zhong sighed: "Calling back and forth, Chiang Kai-shek still lost Wuhan and Guangzhou." This Jiang bald head, what a fucking rice bucket! ”

Zeng Zhongsheng frowned, looked at Liu Yimin and said: "Division commander, once Guangzhou is lost, the Fifth Division is about to return to Shandong, maybe they have already started to board ships in Guangzhou now, so there is no need to capture Qingdao?" ”

Liu Yimin didn't say a word, and sat there like a statue.

It wasn't until someone handed him a cup of hot tea that Liu Yimin woke up. When I looked up, it turned out to be Zhao Xiaoman, who was looking at him with tears in his eyes.

Liu Yimin took a sip of water and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhao Xiaoman said that she came to the division to find Director Cai to report on the literary and artistic propaganda work after entering Jinan.

Liu Yimin asked again: "Do you know the news of Political Commissar Huang's sacrifice?" ”

Zhao Xiaoman couldn't hold back anymore, tears rolled down, and he said while crying: "I just found out." Yimin, after I met you and Political Commissar Huang in Yibin, Political Commissar Huang has been helping me. When I couldn't figure it out and felt uncomfortable, I always went to him, and he was like my brother, enlightening and educating me. If it weren't for him, I might have died on the battlefield on purpose. After that, no one helped me anymore. You, you have to help me avenge him! As he spoke, Zhao Xiaoman threw himself into Liu Yimin's arms and cried.

Zhao Xiaoman's crying caused Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, who were old comrades-in-arms with Huang Su, to also cry, and there was a cry in the headquarters.

Liu Yimin's nose was sour, but he endured it without shedding tears.

Stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Zhao Xiaoman's face, picked up Zhao Xiaoman and put him on the chair, Liu Yimin said sharply: "Don't cry!" Comrade Huang Su is a martyr and a hero. Dying on the battlefield of resistance is the best ending for the Chinese people! It's getting dark, we are ready to attack, and I want to use the army of Jinan City to bury Comrade Huang Su! ”

Saying this, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng all stood up and walked to Liu Yimin's side, and even Zhao Xiaoman got up from the chair, walked to Liu Yimin's side and held his hand.

I only heard Liu Yimin say in a deep voice: "The change of the enemy situation will not affect our army's capture of Jinan. Chief of Staff, send a report to Zhao Shan of the Eighth Brigade and Li Lingfeng of the Special Operations Command that the attack on Qingdao is limited to the capture of Qingdao Airport, and we cannot allow the Chinese army to bomb Qingdao into ruins when they retaliate frantically. Send a report to Hong Chaoyuan that after our army captures Jinan, the southern front army will definitely retreat, and he is asked to concentrate the main force, strive to annihilate the enemy, and recover Linyi and Fei County. Send a report to Chen Shiqu and Wang Jian'an, our army will capture Jinan tonight, and the little devils will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, strictly prevent the devils from sneaking up, and fight steadily. It's night, the devil planes can't be dispatched, and the tanks can't take the mountains, so they have to fight boldly with confidence. At the same time, find a good coffin, bury Comrade Huang Su, and send it back to the division headquarters. He sent a telegram to Liu Jianli, Xu Shiyou, and Wang Bingsan, ordering the 2nd Brigade to take immediate action to capture the Yellow River Iron Bridge and the Yellow River crossing, and attack Jinan from north to south. Xu Shiyou's Luxi Garrison Brigade should quickly cut off the Jinpu Line and set up a wide position. Do not place too many troops on each line of defense, and be sure to dig communication trenches between the lines so that the troops can retreat at any time. Send a report to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters to report the news of Comrade Huang Su's sacrifice, and at the same time report to the Central Committee that our main force is about to launch an attack on Jinan. Ordered all the troops participating in the battle in Jinan, act quickly, and launch an attack on time at half past 6. ”

Liu Yimin said a word, Zeng Zhongsheng remembered a sentence, and when Liu Yimin finished speaking, Zeng Zhongsheng called [***] Feng and Zhu Zhexiao, began to draft telegrams one by one, and quickly sent them to all troops.

Liu Yimin raised his left wrist and looked at his watch motionlessly.

Zhao Xiaoman finally let go of Liu Yimin's right hand, turned around and walked out.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Liu Yimin's shout came: "Why are you going?" ”

Zhao Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, but replied honestly: "I'll go back to the art troupe and cheer for the soldiers." ”

Liu Yimin said: "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, stay in the division headquarters honestly." ”

Zhao Xiaoman didn't listen, turned his head and walked out. When she reached the door, the guards stopped her. Zhao Xiaoman was angry, so he had to walk back obediently and sit down.

Luo Ronghuan said patiently: "Comrade Zhao Xiaoman, you are an old Red Army and an old Eighth Road, and you must abide by discipline. Revenge is not your business alone, I have worked with Comrade Huang Su for many years, and my feelings are much deeper than yours. He is also the deputy political commissar of the Central Guard Division, and many cadres in our unit are like his own brothers. If the news of his sacrifice spreads, I don't know how many cadres and fighters will lose their minds, and maybe some people will do things that violate discipline. You must have wanted to secretly run to participate in the siege battle just now, and maybe you even wanted to touch the headquarters of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army to kill the commander of the devil! Have you thought about it? When a person is caught in hatred, he is the most blind and can easily be hit or captured by the enemy. If you are caught by the little devil skirmishers, if they know your identity, they will definitely threaten us to stop the attack and let them escape. Do you think that's a big loss? ”

Zhao Xiaoman stayed at the division headquarters at this time, and kept pouring tea and water for several leaders.

Finally waited until half past six in the evening, Liu Yimin waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

In an instant, 500 field artillery and mountain artillery pieces from the 10 artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army let out an earth-shattering roar, and the shells swept across the night sky that had just darkened, blooming beautifully and enchantingly like blooming flowers.

On the broad military position on the front line of Wangsherenzhuang, the temporary county seat of Licheng County, there was a continuous sound of artillery shells exploding.

The little devils on the battlefield never dreamed that when their ugly lives were about to end, they could still see such a fireworks show specially held for them, one by one with their necks straightened, staring at frightened eyes, forgetting even their hidden figures, and stupidly watching the beautiful curves of the cannonballs sweeping through the sky.

A little devil seemed to be frightened crazy, and suddenly tore his clothes and ran wildly on the battlefield, shouting as he ran: "Mommy, Mommy, I want Mommy, I want to go home". It wasn't until a cannonball exploded around him that the cry of terror melted into the night with his shattered limbs.

The shelling lasted for a short time, and only three shells per gun were fired before the shelling stopped.

The next scene made all the people who were awakened by the sound of artillery even more shocked: in the vast night, hundreds of car lights and countless flashlights and torches suddenly lit up, and dozens of tanks lined up, guiding the armored vehicles, automobiles and countless war horses that were also lined up to crush and trample on the positions of the Japanese army.

The earth was trembling, the little devil's heart was trembling, and even the little devils stationed on the distant mountain were frightened and panicked by this mighty power, and they picked up the phone one after another, and Moxie and Moxi kept shouting.

In the face of such a huge current of steel, all resistance seemed so pale, so futile, so powerless.

The little devils who were lucky enough to escape the shelling just now and were afraid of being crushed into a mess of flesh and mud: some panicked and picked up the rifles and machine guns in their hands and began to shoot in a daze, some picked up explosive packs and threw grenades at the tank group that suddenly appeared, some simply raised their bayonets and pounced on the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, and some cunning little devils turned around and ran, trying to run back to Jinan City to seek temporary shelter.

It's a pity that in the artillery fire just now, the position of the little devils has been ravaged beyond recognition, and most of the devils have returned to the East to find Amaterasu to report, and the remaining little devils, whether they are fighting or fleeing, have become like demons and monsters under the light of the armored cluster, and they are extremely ugly.

The motors are roaring, the tanks are advancing, the armored vehicles are advancing, the cars are advancing. Even the artillery group, which was still roaring just now, began to advance. The rolling iron stream overflowed the position of the little devil and swept towards the direction of Jinan City, and all the sludge and muddy water, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs were submerged and swallowed by this rolling torrent, and the white land was really clean.

In fact, before the artillery group roared, the Second Brigade had already made a move in Luokou, north of Jinan.

The water originates from the world, and the white jade pot gushes out of the flat ground.

This is a famous sentence in the poem "Baotu Spring" by Zhao Mengfu, a native of Yuanren, which talks about the origin of the spring city of Jinan.

Jinan was called Luoyi in ancient times, and it was named after the springs in the city that were water. Later, the state of Qi changed Luoyi to Lixia, to the Western Han Dynasty, because it is located in the south of Jishui, Jinan County was set up, and it was named Jinan.

"Luo", the note of "Shuowen Jie Zi" says: "Qilu is also water." from the sound of water". Joyful because of the water, named Luoshui, it shows the ancients' love for the jade-like clean spring water of Jinan.

The water flows into the water in the north, and it is called Luokou.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jianjian, commander of the Luxi Group of the Eighth Route Army and commander of the Second Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and Zeng Chunjian, political commissar, climbed on the north bank of the Yellow River, five miles away from Beiluokou, in a dry reed, holding binoculars to observe the movements on both sides of the Yellow River.

The scouts of the Second Brigade had long been aware of the situation at the Luokou Ferry, and Liu Jianli was not at ease, so he pulled the political commissar to make the last observation.

At this time, there was still silence on the ancient crossing of the Yellow River, with an occasional train passing on the railway bridge, and many ships on the ferry, most of which were quietly moored there. Only a few steamers flying the sun flag carried cars, wagons and all kinds of goods to and fro with passengers.

The situation was consistent with what the scouts had reported, and the little devils did not notice that the 15,000 athletes of the Second Brigade were hiding in the ditches, forks, forks and reeds along the Yellow River, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.

Liu Jianli began to show off his knowledge, "Political commissar, do you know that the Yellow River in front of us turned out to be the course of the Daqing River, which is the course of the Guji River. ”

Liu Jianli has been following Liu Yimin for a long time, and he has become a love of learning and elegant. Zeng Chunjian is not like this, although he is the head of the old Red Eighteenth Regiment, he has little time with Liu Yimin, and he has not developed Liu Yimin's kind of love for learning, love of study, and ask why for everything. Therefore, as soon as he heard Liu Jianjian selling knowledge, Zeng Chunjian asked: "Is there a lot of water?" Is it famous? ”

Since Liu Jianli is showing off, then ask for the surname to sell to the end, anyway, now he can't change the attack time, and he can set up the dragon gate array.

Just listen to Liu Jianjian said, Jishui originated from Taiyi Pond on Wangwu Mountain in Jiyuan, Henan. The source water flows more than 70 miles to the east with the underground river, gushes out to the ground of Jidu and Longtan, and is named Jishui in the northwest of Wenxian County. After the second undercurrent underground, through the Yellow River without muddy, in Xingyang again miraculously surfaced, when the water flowed through Yuanyang, Nanji three times ambushed to Shandong Dingtao, and the North Ji will and form Juyeze. Jishui is hidden and revealed, and it is mysterious and unpredictable.

The ancients called the rivers that have the power to read and can enter the sea as "desecration". The four profanities mentioned in "Erya": river, river, Huai, and Ji, are the four rivers that flowed into the sea alone in ancient times, and "Ji" refers to Jishui. In ancient times, the emperor sacrificed to the famous mountains and rivers, that is, the five mountains and the four desecrations. In the Tang Dynasty, Dahuai was the east, the river was the south, the river was the west, and the Daji was the north.

Legend has it that the emperor fought with Chiyou, and because Chiyou could spit fog for ten miles, he retreated to the Temple of Heaven, the main peak of Taiyi Pond in Wangwu Mountain. The Yellow Emperor said that he prayed to the Emperor of Heaven at the top of the mountain Qionglin Terrace and asked for help to defeat Chiyou. As a result, the Emperor of Heaven ordered the Queen Mother to descend to the Temple of Heaven, called the East China Sea Qingtongjun and the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and granted the emperor the strategy of breaking the Chi You, and the Yellow Emperor killed the Chi You Yu Ji according to the order. Since then, on August 15 every year, Huang Yanjing has set up an altar to worship the sky on the Temple of Heaven, so it is called the Temple of Heaven Mountain. In the future, the emperors of all dynasties also went to the Temple of Heaven every year to set up altars to worship the heavens. After the Ming and Qing dynasties moved the capital to Yanjing, the emperor was afraid that it was a long way to sacrifice to the sky, so he built the Temple of Heaven in Yanjing.

The water has dried up and almost disappeared, why can it be ranked among the four desecrations? Tang Taizong Li Shimin thought about this problem, when the water was open and dried up, Li Shimin asked the minister Xu Jingzong: "The torrent giant valley in the world does not carry rituals, and the water is very fine and respects the four readings, why not?" Xu Jingzong replied: "Blasphemy is the only way to say it, not because the remaining water can go to the sea alone, and the undercurrent is repeatedly extinct, although the shape is subtle, it is unique and respectful." "Although Jishui is small, it can flow into the sea alone, and the tenacious spirit of Jishui that does not reach the sea vow is the reason why it has always been ranked in the fourth reading.

Of course, Xu Jingzong's answer is not comprehensive, the reason why Jishui has such a high status in traditional Chinese culture, and why it will always flow in the hearts of Chinese, in addition to flowing overseas, also has noble feelings and gentle and elegant morality.

Gaojie's sentiment is to say that Jishui is hidden and three appearing, crossing the Yellow River without muddy, to clear and turbid, and sticking to its festival. Therefore, the ancients said that Jishui "is called a word from now on, and Gao Jie asks for whom; Only Qingji is the same for eternity".

The gentle and elegant character is to say that the water level is respected for four readings, but it is not shocking and gentle. This kind of morality that moistens all things and is Pepsi is exactly the necessary grace of the world for gentlemen, and the surname Bing who does not seek to be heard.

Noble affection and gentle morality are the realms that ancient Chinese literati pursued all their lives. It is precisely because of this that a term "Qingliu" was born, and a political group "Qingliu" in ancient political life was formed to evaluate the gains and losses of the government. The Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty is a microcosm of Qingliu.

Zeng Chunjian's eyes shook when he listened.

Liu Jianli continued to show off: Liu He wrote in "The Travels of the Old Remnant": "Out of the west gate of Jinan Mansion, eighteen miles north, there is a town and city, called Yukou. When the Yellow River was not merged with the Qing River, all the seventy-two springs in the city entered the river from this place, which was a very prosperous place. Since the merger of the Yellow River, although there are still cargo ships coming and going, it is only one-tenth of one-two, which is far from it. ”

After Zeng Chunjian came to work as a tutor, he always felt that the tutor was a nest of talents, and when he heard that Liu Jianjian had established a chapter, history and geography came as soon as he opened his mouth, he secretly swore in his heart that he must study more, otherwise he would be laughed at by his comrades.

Liu Jianli was sideways, and then cut to the point: "Political commissar, there is no highway bridge on the Yellow River, and pedestrians and vehicles rely on ferries. In the past, the river was a highway, which led directly to Jinan, and there was no barrier. Infantry and cavalry are easy to handle, you look at the railway bridge, there are troops stationed at both ends, and there are pillbox fortifications. We must first capture the railway bridge, hold it, and let the troops continue to cross the river and go straight to Jinan. ”

Zeng Chunjian nodded: "It's still the old way, you take command, and I will lead the troops to attack." Dealing with a pillbox is simple, take it out with an anti-aircraft gun or a bazooka. ”

Liu Jianli added: "The blockhouse fortifications at the railway bridgehead on the north bank are close to each other, so bombard it with a bazooka. The distance on the south bank was long, and it was fired with anti-aircraft guns. Act fast to prevent the little devils from blowing up the bridge. ”

Zeng Chunjian laughed: "Don't worry, I like to lead the troops to attack the key points and seize the passes, with such good equipment and such good troops, it is just a piece of cake to seize the iron bridge and ferry, and break through Jinan." ”
