After Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunlin left, Liu Yimin made a public statement to the reporter of "Popular Daily".

In his speech, Liu Yimin pointed out that the fundamental reason for the Linyi incident was the reactionary policy of preventing communism, restricting communism, and dissolving communism formulated by the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee. As a result of this reactionary policy, the political power and armed forces in various localities will unscrupulously create friction and attack the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the guerrillas under their leadership, as well as the grassroots organizations, the offices of the Eighth Route Army, the military stations, and the passers-by. The Linyi incident is just a prelude, if you don't stop the precipice, it will set off a bigger momentum**. There is no way, the central authorities have formulated reactionary policies and issued reactionary orders, and the political power and armed forces in various places will be moved. Anyone who does not carry out this reactionary policy will be accused of colluding with the Communist Party, removed from office, punished, or even imprisoned or shot.

Why did this reactionary policy come about? Liu Yimin analyzed that there were two reasons: one was that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had entered the stage of strategic stalemate, the pace of the Japanese army's strategic offensive had slowed down, Chiang Kai-shek thought that it was just a sweet dream to destroy China, his fear of the small had weakened, the prospects of the War of Resistance were promising, and he wanted to free up his hands to continue to implement his policy of "fighting outside the country must first secure the interior." The second reason is that after more than two years of fighting behind enemy lines, the people's armed forces under the leadership have grown stronger and stronger behind enemy lines, and more and more base areas have become a spark of fire, which has made the rightist forces that have always adhered to it timid and afraid.

Liu Yimin said that the Linyi incident is both a bad thing and a good thing. said bad things because the Linyi incident was essentially a civil war and was unpopular. The armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought under the city of Linyi, the Japanese army covered their mouths and snickered, and the common people who were looking forward to driving the Japanese out of China every day were sad and sad. It is also a good thing to say that the Linyi Incident is because through the Linyi Incident, the ugly face of the policy was revealed, and the progressive forces that persisted in the War of Resistance raised their vigilance and became more vigilant. People will say: Ah! Here we go again!

Then, Liu Yimin once again recounted the Linyi Incident and refuted Zhang Liyuan's "Chronicle of the Linyi Incident".

Liu Yimin seized Zhang Liyuan's claim that the stationing in Linyi was on the orders of the Central Military Commission, and refuted that the full name of the Military Commission is the China Civil Commission, which is China's highest military command body, and should handle affairs fairly and fairly. If the Military Commission wants to allow the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command to be stationed in Linyi, there is no need to give an order to Zhang Liyuan, but it can directly give an order to Yu Xuezhong, commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, or it can directly give an order to the instructor of the Eighth Route Army. What level is Zhang Liyuan? However, he was the security commander of a special region in Shandong, and the Military Commission crossed the Sulu Theater and the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, the main force of the Shandong Anti-Japanese War, and directly gave Zhang Liyuan an order, which was inconsistent with the law, reason, and feelings. In the law, such an order is a procedural violation in legal theory; Yu Li, crossed the Sulu Theater Commander Yu Xuezhong and the instructor Liu Yimin, resulting in confusion in the relationship between the upper and lower subordinates; In the situation, it undermined the good relations between the local government and the central government in Shandong. When Chairman Chiang ordered the instructor of the Eighth Route Army to cooperate in the battle, he remembered that he had a communication and liaison group stationed in the instructor, which was in charge of telegraph exchange; When he was about to attack Linyi, Chairman Jiang forgot about this communication and liaison group, and began to go behind Yu Xuezhong and Liu Yimin to find the little-known Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan to give orders directly. There is a word in the Chinese idiom that specifically describes this kind of behavior, called "yīn schemes". The supreme commander of the dignified state actually played tricks against his subordinates! This is the sorrow of China!

In response to Zhang Liyuan's remarks on the issue of wantonly destroying and establishing political power at the grassroots level in Shandong, Liu Yimin said: It was not the Eighth Route Army that undermined the grassroots political power, but the grassroots political power in most areas of Shandong that collapsed and fled. The Japanese army was still a few hundred miles away from Jinan, and Han Fuqu took his division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders and commissioners, county magistrates, and district commanders to run away from him. Either ran to Henan, Anhui and Suzhou, or hid in the deep mountains and old forests. Wasn't the reason why Chairman Chiang executed Han Fuqu because he was a runaway general? The provincial chairman ran away, the commissioner ran away, the county magistrate and the district magistrate ran away, Ma Liang and his ilk surrendered to the Japanese invaders again, and the maintenance committee was held, and all the political power in Shandong collapsed, and the common people could not find anyone to organize an anti-Japanese resistance. The grassroots political power that the Eighth Route Army wants to destroy cannot be destroyed, where is the district office, where is the county government, where is the commissioner's office? Is it more difficult to find a local government than a rabbit? Under such circumstances, can the Eighth Route Army not form a local political power? Without a political power, how can we organize and mobilize the people to resist Japan? How can we solve the problem of the supply of the army without political power, and should we let the troops be robbed as bandits? Under these circumstances, the Eighth Route Army set up an anti-Japanese democratic regime in Shandong, adopting the principle of the three-three system, that is, one-third of the people, one-third of the anti-Japanese activists among the common people, and one-third of the social elites, including people. Moreover, the anti-Japanese democratic regime formed by the Eighth Route Army practiced an electoral system, which was much more clever than the dictatorial appointment system, and could better represent the will of the people. For example, Zhang Liyuan's attack on the issue of the election of soybeans for the village-level regime, the Eighth Route Army is an emergency measure taken in response to the illiterate situation of most of the common people, although it is a soybean or a corn seed, but it embodies the democratic rights of every farmer, what is there to blame? If you want to blame, you should also blame, after more than 20 years in power, the majority of the people in China are illiterate, what kind of government is this? How is it different from the policy of fooling the people implemented by the Manchu government? Now I can ask Chairman Chiang to go to the base area of the Eighth Route Army to take a look, are there still so many illiterates? Literacy classes, literacy classes, cultural classes, and science and technology classes run by the Eighth Route Army are located in every village in the base area. In the end, whether it is the policy of arming the common people with science and technology and culture of the Eighth Route Army or the policy of creating a large number of illiterate fools, everyone will give a correct answer.

Liu Yimin continued: "Because the common people are literate and know that farming also requires science and technology, the Eighth Route Army's promotion of the two-cropping farming method has not encountered much resistance, and land production has increased exponentially. This is just a matter that has not been done in all dynasties, has not been done in more than 20 years in power, and has been done by the Eighth Route Army. Zhang Liyuan said that the Eighth Route Army did not let him pull grain and distribute money to the people, is this wrong? Zhang Liyuan hid in the southwest mountains of Linyi, dominating one side, fighting devils and not finding him, and still thinking about pulling grain and distributing money, what kind of behavior is this? Since the instructors of the Eighth Route Army went north to resist Japan, the Nationalist Government has not paid military salaries, clothing, or a gun, a bullet, or a tablet. In addition to the seizures in the war, all units of our army carried out cantonment reclamation, and used the products produced by cantonment to solve the problem of military rations. Since entering Shandong, the army has not sent a penny to the local areas of Shandong, on the contrary, it has also used funds from the seizures to establish a series of schools such as Shandong University, build roads and bridges, and maintain water conservancy projects for the benefit of the people of Shandong. At present, commercial circulation in the base areas of Shandong has not been stagnated by the war, and the troops of the Sulu Theater, including Zhang Liyuan, Wu Hua, the Ministry of Culture and Culture, and the Shandong Provincial Government, can freely purchase grain and purchase military supplies from the base areas. Without the efforts of the Eighth Route Army, would it be possible to buy food in this war-torn era? It was such an army without pay that it had created a much greater record than the sum of all the other troops. Has China had such an army since ancient times? Is there anything abroad? Don't talk about Zhang Liyuan and his ilk, can the Central Army do it? ”

Liu Yimin may have been too depressed a few days ago, and when he started talking, he couldn't stop the car, and the more he talked, the more anxious he became, and the faster he talked: "Zhang Liyuan in the article "Chronicle of the Linyi Incident" is unbelievable, distorts the facts, and talks nonsense. One is to viciously attack Yu Xuezhong, who insisted on the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, saying that Yu Xuezhong sat on the side of the Eighth Route Army after arriving in Shandong, saying that Yu Xuezhong's department was the Northeast Army and was in harmony with the central government, and saying that Yu Xuezhong did not reinforce him after the Linyi Incident and betrayed him, which was simply to sow discord between the central government and the Northeast Army. Let me ask, does he Zhang Liyuan have to let others fight the civil war like him? After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the squadron united to resist the war and merged as one, Zhang Liyuan actually opened his mouth and closed his mouth about the Northeast Army, his heart can be punished! The other is to distort the truth of the Linyi incident. Beforehand, Zhang Liyuan did not obey the commander-in-chief's dispatch and refused to participate in the battle of Fei County to eliminate the main force of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army. Seeing that the main force of the Eighth Route Army went north to Tai'an to pursue the Japanese army, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawentu saw the dagger and began to control Linyi City. Under the circumstance that I had ordered the Linyi defenders to retreat, Zhang Liyuan's department used wooden rafters to break open the gate of the hospital in the rear of our army in Linyi, in an attempt to seize the equipment of the hospital guard squad, snatch medicines, and insult the female soldiers, and the defenders were forced to shoot back. As soon as the gunshots rang out, Zhang Liyuan's department snatched the weapons of the Eighth Route Army's sentry posts, resulting in the sacrifice of all the four sentry posts of the Eighth Route Army in Linyi City. After Zhang Liyuan's troops were driven out of Linyi City, they actually concentrated their main forces to attack the city, which was more ruthless than fighting devils. As a result, he broke his blood and left the corpses all over the ground and fled to Taierzhuang. If it weren't for the fact that the situation would have escalated, Zhang Liyuan's ministry and Wuhua's cultural ministry would never have escaped. In this battle, Zhang Liyuan's troops did suffer huge losses, and more than 6,000 people were captured by our army. These people are all children of Yiméng, who joined the army in order to resist the Japanese, and are unwilling to fight a civil war. On this basis, our army will organize and train the Lunan Garrison Brigade. Zhang Liyuan lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, stealing chickens and rice, and brought humiliation on himself. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Yimin's matter about the Linyi incident is finally finished. Sit down and take out a cigarette, light it, and rest for a while.

Luo Ronghuan hurriedly called the guards to pour water for the commander, but before the guards could pour water, Zhao Xiaoman and Huang Wei, who were sitting among the reporters, both stepped forward, poured a glass of water each, and handed it to Liu Yimin.

Huang Wei, this girl, since Jingjing's sacrifice, took off her skirt, put on a military uniform, and became a news soldier of the Eighth Route Army, immersed in work, wanting to use her pen to wake up more people to join the War of Resistance and avenge the martyrs who sacrificed. During this military operation, she has been interviewing in the army, staying with the soldiers, and has never met in front of Liu Yimin.

Liu Yimin took the water cup, drank the two glasses of water in one go, and then began to say: "The Linyi incident itself is a tragedy, and what is even more tragic is that Chairman Jiang indiscriminately did not hold the perpetrators accountable, but instead killed the instructor of the Eighth Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Meritorious Army, not only ordered the removal of his post and demoted him from the lieutenant general division commander to the second lieutenant probationary platoon commander, but also revoked the instructor number, and banned the anti-Japanese democratic regimes, anti-Japanese organizations, and publications established by the Eighth Route Army in Shandong at all levels. Ordered the instructor to return to Shaanxi to be reorganized into a local security force, and what to do. This is really a shemale who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and reverses black and white! There is no reward for merit, no punishment for the guilty, it is not too much to say that it is a chaotic life! ”

After a pause, Liu Yimin said: "The happiest people are the people in this chaotic life. They turned out to be offering a reward of 2 million yuan, and they were sending high-level people at the moment, and they were also sending beautiful princess killers, and they couldn't get their own heads. Now they don't have to bother, Chairman Jiang has done the work for them. I was dismissed from my position, I was no longer their opponent, and the heroic and warlike instructor was also revoked and rushed back to Shaanxi, and there was no longer an opponent on the ground in Shandong, and the Japanese army was naturally happy. I estimate that Emperor Hirohito, Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace, Shunroku Hatata, Shouichi Terauchi, Sugi Sugimoto, Nishio Shouzo, and Tada Jun will be so happy that they will wake up laughing in the middle of the night. ”

"So, should we carry out Chairman Chiang's chaotic order?"

Liu Yimin said categorically: "No, never execute!" ”

Liu Yimin made three points for the reasons for not carrying it out: First, China is a China of Chinese, neither a China nor a China of Chairman Jiang alone. If it is a China with Chairman Chiang, then the others will not have to resist the war, go home to farm and hug their wives, and let Chairman Chiang go to the war of resistance. Whether they defeat people or destroy them doesn't matter what anyone else does. It is precisely because China is the China of all Chinese that the Japanese invasion of China has infringed on the interests of all Chinese, and the Chinese people must rise up to resist and unite to resist the war. In this sense, regarding the matter of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it is not counted whether the family and Chairman Chiang alone have said it, and they have to solicit everyone's opinions. I, the instructors, and the people of Shandong are all Chinese, and they have the right to speak and vote on matters related to the war, and they cannot be left to Chairman Chiang and fiddle with them. The second is that this chaotic life violated the reality of Shandong's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In fact, the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong was that the instructors of the Eighth Route Army were based in Shandong and resisted a quarter or one-fifth of the Japanese troops in the Guannai. If the instructor of the Eighth Route Army withdraws to Shaanxi, it is equivalent to letting this part of the Japanese army join other battlefields, and it is unknown whether Changsha can hold it and whether Chongqing can hold it. Therefore, it is necessary to persist in the Shandong War of Resistance. However, with the strength of the local armed forces in Shandong and the Yu Xuezhong Department, it is impossible to accomplish this task. The Eighth Route Army could not be withdrawn, and carrying out Chairman Chiang's indiscriminate order to evacuate Shandong was a crime against the people of Shandong and against the entire Chinese nation. Third, since the instructors of the Eighth Route Army went north to resist Japan, they have accumulated meritorious service and made outstanding meritorious contributions. If such a unit wants to be revoked, should the troops that lost Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan, Taiyuan, Kaifeng, Shanghai, Nanjing, Anqing, Hangzhou, and Nanchang all have their numbers revoked? In the Linyi Incident, the Eighth Route Army was the injured party, and it only fought back in self-defense. Chairman Chiang's indiscriminate death was an injustice to the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, to himself, and to the people of Shandong. What is the use of such an unjust disorder?

Liu Yimin originally wanted to say what was the use of such an unfair chairman, but after thinking about it, he held back.

After explaining the reasons for not carrying out Chiang Kai-shek's chaotic life, Liu Yimin said: "Since Chairman Chiang does not pay military salaries, weapons and ammunition to the instructors, if he wants to revoke the number of the instructors, let him go, and I hope he will not regret it." The Central Committee and the Headquarters of the 18th Group Army have telegraphed to the whole country and decided to establish the Shandong Bureau of the Central Committee and the Shandong Military Region of the 18th-level regimental army, and to appoint me as the commander of the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region. From now on, I will take office by telegram, and if the Japanese invaders do not surrender one day, I and my comrades and comrades-in-arms will fight incessantly until the Japanese invaders are defeated and surrendered. ”

On the relationship between the Shandong Military Region, the Central Military Commission, and the Sulu Theater, Liu Yimin said: "The Shandong Military Region of the 18th Group Army is an integral part of China's armed forces, and as long as the Central Military Commission and Chairman Chiang no longer discriminate against their own army, direct attacks on their own army, and give orders in disorder, our army will still obey the leadership of the Central Military Commission and cooperate with friendly forces in combat. As for the Sulu Theater, it is not under the control of the Shandong Military Region and is in a parallel relationship. The two militaries resolved the relevant issues through consultations through a joint military conference. Everything is in favor of unity in the war of resistance as the starting point. ”

Liu Yimin talked about the four major tasks of the newly established Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region: First, unite and mobilize the people of Shandong to unite in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, organize and train the armed forces, regularize the armed forces, and strive to take the lead in recovering the entire territory of Shandong. The second is to organize the people of Shandong to actively develop production, be self-sufficient, and support the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Third, it is necessary to implement a unified tax rate, deposit and exchange, protect and develop industry and commerce, and cultivate national enterprises. Fourth, it is necessary to develop various social undertakings such as education, public health, transportation, culture, and journalism in Shandong, so as to lay the foundation for further development after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

In conclusion, Liu Yimin said that we welcome educational and scientific and technological personnel from all over the country to develop in the Shandong base area, and welcome Chinese and foreign businessmen to invest and set up enterprises in Shandong, so that the Eighth Route Army can ensure safety.

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan asked the reporters to sort it out on the spot, and he reviewed and checked it.

On 21 October, Liu Yimin's inaugural telegram and public talk were broadcast to the whole country, and Liu Yimin, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, took office.
