When the army was in chaos because of Itagaki Seishiro's seppuku, Liu Yimin, the culprit who caused Itagaki seppuku, had just woken up from his sleep in the temporary living room of the Jin Ancestral Hall's instructor department.

From the beginning of the attack on Taiyuan, Liu Yimin has been in a state of high tension, until David and they reported blowing up the Tianjin Yuejun Airport, Liu Yimin breathed a sigh of relief, did not care about other arrangements, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I had a good night's sleep, and when I woke up, it was already the morning of the 22nd.

Qian Zhuangfei sent a telegram intercepting the army as soon as Liu Yimin woke up, Liu Yimin saw that Itagaki Seishiro apologized for his seppuku, the 20th Division and the 109th Division were fleeing in the direction of Handan, and Kenji Tohihara said that he would take various means and offer a reward of 1 million silver dollars for his head.

After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin called Huang Wenhu to wash his face, wanting to wash it well and sort out his thoughts. Who knew that Huang Wenhu did not come in, but a female officer in military uniform came in. Take a closer look, isn't this Chen Yaoguang, Song Meiling's righteous daughter and secretary? Why is she here, is Madame Chiang back again?

When Liu Yimin was stunned, Chen Yaoguang had already brought the face wash to him, still holding a towel in his hand.

Liu Yimin hurriedly asked Miss Chen why she was here, didn't Mrs. Jiang have already returned to Nanjing?

Chen Yaoguang was also generous, saluted first and then reported, saying that she had joined the army, and Madame Jiang also approved and appointed her as the personal life secretary of Division Commander Liu. In the future, she will be responsible for the diet and daily life of Division Commander Liu, and she promises to do her duty, take good care of the division commander, let the division commander concentrate on commanding the war, killing more devils, and avenging the dead compatriots.

Chen Yaoguang's voice was like a yellow bird singing, and it sounded very beautiful, but the more Liu Yimin listened, the more his brows wrinkled. After Chen Yaoguang finished speaking, Liu Yimin said directly: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, I don't need a life secretary, you go to Director Cai to report and let him think of sending you back to Nanjing, Mrs. Jiang needs to be taken care of even more." ”

After speaking, he stopped paying attention to Chen Yaoguang, called Huang Wenhu in, and asked him to pour the washing water that Chen Yaoguang had served, and fetch water again, he wanted to wash.

This made Chen Yaoguang's face turn red with embarrassment, and after a while, tears fell down.

After Huang Wenhu brought the water, Liu Yimin washed his face and told Huang Wenhu to send Chen Yaoguang to see Cai Zhong, and he took Li Xiaoshuai to the front war room.

When I went to the war room, not only Wu Zheng rushed back, but Zeng Zhongsheng also rushed back. Together with Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di, they are discussing the current situation on the battlefield in Shanxi.

As soon as several people touched the situation, they came to the conclusion that the 20th Division and the 109th Division of the Japanese Army were carrying out the order of Shouichi Terauchi and withdrawing to Hebei.

It is a pity that after the defeat of the Jin Sui Army and Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army, the troops were in tatters and incomplete, and they were unable to retain these two divisions. And relying only on the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Reading Division could not stop the advance of the Devil's Heavy Army Group.

Seeing that Itagaki was finally forced to commit suicide, and the old devil Kawagishi Bunzaburo was about to escape from the net, Liu Yimin was unwilling. But his troops are far away in Taiyuan, and they can't catch up with the devils anyway. In desperation, Liu Yimin couldn't help but scold Shouyi in the temple for not planting, and let the two elite divisions be shrunken turtles. After scolding, he was still angry, and scolded Kawagishi Bunzaburo and Yamaoka Shigehou for embarrassing Hirohito, two divisions, more than 50,000 elites, what are you running? If you have a kind, stay and fight, and let Lao Tzu send you back to see Amaterasu!

Seeing that Liu Yimin was angry and scolded, Luo Ronghuan couldn't help laughing, and said slowly: "Teacher, I heard that when you educated Wang Laohu, you quoted Confucius's words 'courteous and polite, and then a gentleman', and said that you want Wang Laohu to be a gentleman." Look at yourself, scolding, where is the slightest gentleman's demeanor! ”

When several people heard this, they all laughed happily. Liu Yimin thought about it, he also felt funny, and after laughing, he said: "Itagaki Seishiro died at the right time, if he didn't die, the 50,000 army would not retreat, and would fight with our army at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Jinnan, and then delay for ten days and a half months, and starve the army half to death, when the time comes, our army will go south to join the battle, and these two divisions can be eliminated in one battle." It's a pity, as soon as this Itagaki died, Kawagishi Bunzaburo didn't have the courage to disobey the order, and obediently retreated. His withdrawal undermined my operational expectations of expanding the results of the war. This damn Shouichi Terauchi and damn Bunzaburo Kawagishi are all fucking cowards! ”

Zeng Zhongsheng said: "Teacher, you can't be too greedy. Our surprise attack not only recovered Taiyuan, but also wiped out the elite corps of the Yue army, forcing the Yue army of two divisions to retreat in a hurry, two lieutenant generals and one major general committed suicide, and four major generals were killed, which was a real victory! If such a war of annihilation is fought ten times, the army will cry for his father and mother. I think we can truthfully report the results of the battle to the central authorities. ”

Liu Yimin came from later generations and knew that in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, although the Chinese [***] team went forward and died bravely, it never systematically eliminated the devils of a wing, and every time there was a big battle, the remnants of the devils could always escape. This time, he waved his army to the north and eliminated the devils of the four brigades and regiments in a formation, which is the backbone of the army, the essence of the essence, and the significance is so great that it cannot be said too much. Zeng Zhongsheng is right, it is time to truthfully report to the chairman, the headquarters, and the national political axe.

Liu Yimin told Cai Zhong to draft a war report and arrange a press conference, and he wanted to inform the whole country and the world of the glorious achievements of the heroic instructor.

After Cai Zhong left, Liu Yimin asked Luo Ronghuan, what happened to that Chen Yaoguang?

Luo Ronghuan was still full of spring breeze just now, and when he heard Liu Yimin ask Chen Yaoguang, his face immediately darkened, and he told Song Meiling about the situation of leaving Chen Yaoguang at the airport.

After Liu Yimin heard this, he said lightly: "Isn't it just a beauty, it's not a big deal!" ”

Wu Zheng said hatefully: "This Chiang Kai-shek is really not a thing, the soldiers are working the front line, and he still thinks about calculations from time to time." Tell me to send this Chen Yaoguang directly to Wei Lihuang and let her go back to Nanjing! ”

Liu Yimin looked at Luo Ronghuan and said, "Whoever takes the child away, the political commissar and Director Cai are the two people who took it from Song Meiling, then the two of you are also responsible for sending the people back." ”

Luo Ronghuan said: "I can't send it back for the time being, she won't leave." We can't refute Soong Meiling's face too harshly, I have consulted the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou, and the chairman said that if it is sent, he will stay, so that Chiang Kai-shek can see whether it is our strong ideological work force or Chiang Kai-shek's secret tricks. The chairman also said that you should not worry so much and concentrate on the war, as long as you are not carried away by beauty. ”

Liu Yimin heard Luo Ronghuan say this, and knew that he couldn't get rid of Chen Yaoguang for the time being, so after thinking about it, he said: "Song Meiling left Chen Yaoguang to achieve two goals, one is to make a beauty trick on me and pull me into the water; The other is to cause misunderstanding among our party leaders, to distrust me, and to make us fight among ourselves. I guess that this is not Song Meiling's idea, it should still be the plan that Dai Li has been implementing since his assassination in Chengdu. I still wonder why Chiang Kai-shek let Song Meiling come alone to condole, but now I understand that they are afraid that we don't want Chen Yaoguang, so that Song Meiling will be both soft and hard as the first lady, and Chen Yaoguang must be left behind. To put it bluntly, Song Meiling is nominally here to comfort us, but in fact she is here to send Chen Yaoguang. These two couples are really a perfect match, and the husband sings and the wife follows. ”

Zeng Zhongsheng smacked his lips: "Chiang Kai-shek also looked down on the division commander, and not only sent beautiful women, but also bonuses, medals, and military ranks. If it were those warlords, I'm afraid I'd faint all at once. It's a pity that we are the Red Army, and Chiang Kai-shek miscalculated this time, and I think he is afraid that he will be disappointed! ”

Liu Yimin said: "However, it's very annoying to have such a beautiful woman by your side." Political commissar, you have much more revolutionary qualifications than me, and you have much more experience in struggle, I don't care what you think, in short, I will make this woman disappear from my eyes immediately. Otherwise, I have to watch out for her every day and she won't be able to work properly. ”

Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and said: "Chen Yaoguang has Song Meiling's order, and she is nominally carrying out the task assigned by Madame Jiang, so we can't do anything to her." You can be wronged for a few days first, and it will be easy to do it when Comrade Tang Xingying comes. This woman, it's better for a woman to deal with it. When the time comes, I guess she won't be able to stay here, so she will automatically ask to leave. ”

Liu Yimin immediately shook his head, and even said that this method would not work, Tang Xingying's surname was Ge Ganglie, and if he was impulsive, it would be troublesome to shoot Chen Yaoguang to death. If it really doesn't work, send Chen Yaoguang to work beside the political commissar, and when he sees Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang, he quickly hands them over.

Luo Ronghuan said: "In the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, you and I are not a heavyweight, how can his goddaughter be willing to be my life secretary?" Forget it, I think so, let Li Chengyi find two instructors and go to Chen Yaoguang to do ideological work every day. I guess she couldn't stand it anymore and left. ”

When Liu Yimin heard this, he was overjoyed, and said that this method was good, and asked the political commissar to arrange it directly, until the girl was sent away, and the merit was completed.

After several people told Chen Yaoguang about it, Cai Zhong also wrote the battle report, and Liu Yimin read it and signed it.

After Luo Ronghuan read it, he changed a few words and signed it. Cai Zhong directly handed it over to Qian Zhuangfei to send the report.

Liu Yimin then ordered Wu Zheng to lead the baggage regiment, organize manpower, and immediately dismantle all the industrial equipment in Taiyuan and transport it to Shaanxi. Zeng Zhongsheng was ordered to immediately notify the headquarters and ask the 115th Division, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, and the Reading Division to send troops to Taiyuan to take out all the captured artillery and Yan Xishan's reserve artillery, and form a field artillery or mountain artillery battalion for each division. Other weapons and ammunition were left to the divisions to pick and take as they pleased, and as long as they needed them, they were openly supplied.

Then, Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong to send a report to all brigades, demanding that the troops immediately expand their troops in Shanxi, and that the division recruit regiment and the brigade supplementary regiment could expand the scale and organize the training of new soldiers. Each brigade can supplement the backbone troops on the basis of the veterans of the supplementary regiment, and form a new armed regiment, with cadres deployed by each brigade itself, and cadres at and above the battalion level reporting to the division headquarters for approval. All recruits are trained in supplementary regiments and can only be added to the unit after three months. The newly formed armament regiments of each brigade are numbered as new × regiments according to the order of each brigade. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades should be expanded to at least 15,000 personnel, and the other five brigades should be expanded to at least 13,000 personnel.

After explaining these things, Liu Yimin called Feng Dafei and wanted to use the past few days to fly all the planes, let every student get on the plane for a test drive, and prepare to fly the plane back to Xi'an.

After dealing with military affairs, Liu Yimin remembered that he hadn't eaten in the morning, and took Luo Ronghuan and a few people to the room.

After receiving the good news in Xi'an, after reading it again, I couldn't help but even preach that the instructor is good, Liu Yimin is good, worthy of being the elite unit of our army, worthy of being a famous general of our army, and he is so good at making a move, not only eliminating the four brigades of the army, but also eliminating the temporary aviation regiment of the entire North China Front. No wonder the boss sent a telegram saying that the military plane did not make a dispatch today, and it turned out that Liu Yimin had made a move. Good, good, good!

Zhou Enlai took the good news and read it, and immediately asked Ye Jianying to send a report to Liu Yimin, and immediately started to evacuate Taiyuan, and immediately equipped the 115th Division, 120th Division, 129th Division, and Reading Division with an artillery battalion composed of field artillery, mountain artillery, and mortars by using the captured weapons and ammunition reserves of the Yue Army and Yan Xishan in Taiyuan. Other surplus weapons are to be collected by the divisions and prepared to arm the militia in the base areas.

[***] smiled and said: "Enlai, there is no need to send this telegram, I estimate that Liu Yimin has already done it now, we just need to build a pontoon bridge at the Yellow River ferry and accept the materials." Thinking about it, Liu Yimin asked Yan Xishan to move his arsenal to Shaanxi, but Yan Laoxi didn't listen. Well now, it's all ours. Now, if we want to increase the output of the arsenal, there is a way. ”

Ye Jianying said: "I still have to send a telegram to Liu Yimin and ask him to get all the cars in Taiyuan back." This Shaanxi turned out to be too poor, and there were not many cars. ”

[***] said: "Don't worry, needless to say, this little guy is shrewd, let alone the car, hurry up and check the airport, I estimate that Liu Yimin will fly all the planes back soon." ”

Ye Jianying went happily at this time.

After Ye Jianying left, [***] stood in front of the map and began to think.

Zhou Enlai saw that [***] had been patrolling Hebei and Shandong, so he asked: "Does the chairman have any new ideas?" ”

[***] nodded and said: "Enlai, before Liu Yimin left last time, he told me that he was going to Shandong and raising hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong, which I think makes sense." This Taiyuan has been recaptured, but Yan Xishan is afraid that he will return to Taiyuan soon, and after the army reinforcements arrive, he will also attack Taiyuan again. He said that he is here, we are not afraid, just fight them. If Yan Xishan returns to Taiyuan, we can't refuse. I see, we will not stay long in this Taiyuan. The instructor is now strong and talented, and he can open up the situation wherever he goes. I think that as soon as there is a change in the situation in Shandong, I will order Liu Yimin to go there and give us a new base area for the Shandong resistance. At that time, he can also go south to support the New Fourth Army. What do you think? ”

Zhou Enlai thought for a moment and said excitedly: "I think it's okay." With our powerful instructors in Shandong, it is likely that the base areas of Shandong, Hebei, Henan, and Anhui will be connected in the future. When necessary, Liu Yimin can also be authorized to take unified command of our army and the New Fourth Army in Shandong to rapidly increase the strength of our army. Okay, you should send a report to Liu Yimin immediately and ask him to prepare early. ”

[***] nodded, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the map and flew towards the land of Shandong.
