Chapter 698 (4)

After receiving Liu Yimin's telegram order to occupy Cangxian County, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong, who were on the border of Hebei and Shandong, immediately issued an operational order in accordance with the originally drawn up battle plan.

At this time, after the Second Brigade and the Sixth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army completed the task of breaking the Longhai Road Attack, according to Liu Yimin's order, Chen Shiqu and Zeng Chūnjian were left to lead the new Second Brigade and the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade to develop the base area in Southwest Lu, and Liu Jianli led the main force back to the West Lu area.

The western region and the southern Hebei region were the base areas opened up by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army after the invasion and occupation of Tianjin. Southern Hebei was later assigned to the leadership of the 129th Division, and Luxi was assigned to the leadership of the instructor. The Second Luxi Garrison Brigade led by Wang Bingsan, Zhang Linzhi and others, that is, the Zhuxian Detachment, persisted in the struggle when the Japanese army occupied Luxi.

In order to protect the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, the Luxi Military Region began to organize the villagers to dig tunnels from the time when the instructors of the Eighth Route Army went south to Nangong. After the heavy army swept Dàng to occupy Luxi, many strongholds were built on the Jiāo Tong Trunk Line, sweeping dàng everywhere, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil, and the army and people of Luxi relied on tunnel fortifications to fight against Xiǎo Devils, ensuring that the power of the Luxi base area did not collapse and the local armed forces did not disperse, and it was the most complete and solid base area in the entire Shandong base area except for the Taiyi central base area and the southeast Lu base area. Finally, after the Eighth Route Army captured Jinan, the Japanese army had to retreat from Luxi and southern Hebei in a hurry in order to shrink its forces and avoid being broken by the Eighth Route Army.

The devil is gone, and the two devils who followed the devils to plague the villagers are also gone, and as soon as the people of Luxi raise their eyebrows, the xiǎo devils began to mobilize a large army to attack Jinan, although tens of thousands of people were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in the east of the Yellow River, but the xiǎo devils still occupied Jiaoji Road and Jinpu Road. This time, Russy's situation has become a little delicate. First, Yu Xuezhong's Sulu Theater Commander's Department led the 51st Army and the 57th Army to stay in Fan County, and then Lu Zhonglin, the commander of the Jicha Theater, appointed Sun Liangcheng as the director of the Luxi Theater and the guerrilla commander of the Jicha Theater, and Shi Yousan's Fifth Army also came out of the mountainous area of southern Hebei, entered southern Hebei, and asked to enter Luxi.

It was at this time that Liu Jianli and Zhang Hongtao led the Second Brigade and the Sixth Brigade of the Hundred Battles to return to Luxi.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jianjian, commander of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, met with Sun Liangcheng, director of the Luxi Military Region appointed by Lu Zhonglin, at the military region headquarters in Linqing.

Sun Liangcheng was notified to come to see Liu Jianjian.

Because the establishment of the Shandong Military Region and the military regions of various base areas was not announced to the public, Sun Liangcheng did not know that Liu Jianli was the commander of the Luxi Military Region, but he knew that Liu Jianli was the commander of the Second Brigade and a lieutenant general under the command of the National Government.

It has been a few days since Sun Liangcheng arrived in Linqing, and Wang Bingsan, commander of the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade, is sitting in Liaocheng and has no time to see him. However, Zhang Linzhi told him that Luxi belonged to Shandong Province and was not under the jurisdiction of the Jicha Theater, and Commander Lu Zhonglin had no right to appoint the director of the Luxi Administration. After the martyrdom of General Fan Zhuxian, the Japanese army occupied Luxi, and it was the Eighth Route Army that recovered Luxi and insisted on the anti-Japanese war behind the enemy line in Luxi, respected the democratic rights of the people, and elected the anti-Japanese democratic regime in Luxi counties.

Zhang Linzhi said a lot, and the core meaning is one, that is, there is already a director of the Luxi Agency, and there is no need for Sun Liangcheng to set up any more Luxi Agency, let alone him to serve as the director of the Luxi Agency.

Sun Liangcheng reported Zhang Linzhi's words to Lu Zhonglin, although Lu Zhonglin was no longer the high-spirited general when he expelled Pu Yi from the Forbidden City and the former enemy commander of the Feng Army during the Central Plains War, but after all, he was the chairman of Hebei Province and the commander of the Jicha Theater appointed by the National People's Government, followed by Shi Yousan's Fifth Army, Zhang Yinwu's Hebei People's Army, and the Sulu Theater troops led by Yu Xuezhong were also still in the Fan County area and could support the operation, while our army in southern Hebei was greatly damaged after the Japanese army swept away the heavy troops. During the period of recovery and development, Lu Zhonglin felt that his waist was much stiffer, and he immediately ordered Sun Liangcheng to establish the Luxi Administration in Linqing and abolish the Luxi Administration established by the Eighth Route Army.

After Liu Jianli returned to Luxi, he listened to Zhang Linzhi's report. No matter how good Liu Jianjian's cultivation is, he is so angry that he is filled with righteous indignation, and immediately decided that Zhang Hongtao will command the 2nd and 6th Brigades to secretly move in the direction of Dexian, and he wants to stay and meet this Sun Liangcheng for a while.

After Sun Liangcheng arrived at the headquarters of the Luxi Military Region, after greeting each other with Liu Jianjian, he knew that it was Liu Jianjian, the commander of the Second Brigade, and he was surprised in his heart: The Second Brigade is the main force of one of Liu Yimin's three brigades. Could it be that Liu Yimin received Zhang Linzhi's report and urgently dispatched the Second Brigade to Luxi to deal with him?

When Sun Liangcheng was thinking about it, Liu Jianli began to cut to the chase, and said bluntly: "General Sun, I heard that Chairman Jiang and Commander Lu appointed you as the guerrilla commander-in-chief of the Jicha Theater of Operations. ”

Sun Liangcheng was a tiger general back then, one of Feng Yixiang's thirteen Taibao, and the troops he commanded were known as the Iron Army. After the end of the Central Plains War, with Feng Yixiang's downfall, Sun Liangcheng also lived a reclusive life. This time, ** deliberately used some frustrated generals, and Sun Liangcheng went out of the mountain. Hearing Liu Jianjian's unkind tone, Sun Liangcheng felt angry in his heart, and secretly scolded Housheng for bullying people too much!

Scolding and scolding, Liu Jianjian's words have to be answered. It's very simple, it's just strength! The military merits of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army are unparalleled in the squadron. The Second Brigade is the main brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and it goes without saying that the record is brilliant. As a soldier, Sun Liangcheng can't admire it if he wants to.

Sun Liangcheng replied: "General Liu, Chairman Chiang and Commander Lu appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla operations and the director of the Luxi Administration in order to lead the people of Luxi to actively carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. I am now alone, without soldiers or generals, and there are many places to borrow from your subordinates. I am considering the establishment of an administrative office as soon as possible and the organization and training of troops. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Jianjian: "What's the matter?" The Eighth Route Army is fighting hard with xiǎo devils on the front line, and you are starting to grab territory behind your back? I ask you, what were you doing when the xiǎo devils captured Pingjin? What were you doing when the devils captured Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, and Jinan? What were you doing during the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Wuhan? What were you doing when the Xiǎo Devil Heavy Soldier Group swept dàng Jizhong, Southern Hebei, and Shandong? Now that our Eighth Route Army has beaten away Luxi's devils, you have come to serve as the director of Luxi's Agency, are you embarrassed? ”

This was not Liu Jianjian's style, and he would not say it under normal circumstances. But now Hu Laohu led the cavalry brigade to fight the Japanese army in the area of Suixi and Méng City, Hu Xuerong and Zhao Jie commanded the new 5th Brigade and the new 8th Brigade to fight the Japanese army in the Lunan Mountains, and the Japanese heavy army group has moved south to the Suxian area, and the opportunity to seize Cangxian is ripe, and the division commander will issue combat orders anytime and anywhere, and Liu Jianli has no time to talk to Sun Liangcheng. At the same time, Liu Jianli knew that soldiers from the Northwest Army generally liked to go straight and talk roughly, and there was no need to go around in circles and around with Sun Liangcheng.

When Sun Liangcheng heard this, he knew that he couldn't talk to Liu Jianjian, and he couldn't do it as the director of the Luxi Agency. Unless Lu Zhonglin has the courage and ability to mobilize the army to drive the Eighth Route Army away. But after thinking about it again, Sun Liangcheng knew that this possibility basically did not exist, and it was indeed too naïve to want to drive away the Second Brigade with Shi Yousan and Sun Dianying's troops.

Sun Liangcheng also wanted to work hard: "General Liu, you are a lieutenant general of the National Civil Affairs, you should obey the national military orders and government orders, and you should support me to be the director of the Luxi Agency." ”

Liu Jianli snorted and laughed: "General Sun, I'm sorry, the commissioner of the Luxi Administration appointed by the Senate of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government is here." You say, should I let you do it? ”

At this point, Sun Liangcheng was completely dumbfounded, couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

When it came to this, Liu Jianli would not be polite, stopped Sun Liangcheng and said: "Please tell Chairman Lu Zhonglin that you can take care of Hebei's affairs, and Chairman Shen will be in charge of Shandong's affairs." In addition, please tell Shi Yousan and Sun Dianying that Division Commander Liu Yimin received a report from the common people that their troops had very poor military discipline and that it was not good to fight devils, but they were good at harming the common people. Division Commander Liu Yimin ordered me to warn them that when the national crisis is at hand, the common people look forward to the squadron as if they were looking forward to the stars and the moon, and as a Chinese, it is a shame to be unable to defend their homes and the country in the face of Japanese aggression. If you bully the common people again, grab food and money, and arrest Latin, it will be intolerable! ”

Sun Liangcheng felt that he had never suffered such humiliation as today since he became famous, and he hated Liu Jianli to death in his heart, but he still said that he would definitely tell him that those problems that reflected the military discipline of the provisional Fifth Army and the 39th Group Army must have been misunderstood.

Sun Liangcheng's explanation, where will Liu Jianli listen? I heard him say again: "Chairman Lu is also the commander of the Jicha Theater, which should be a good thing for the overall situation of Hebei and Chahar's anti-Japanese war, at least it can integrate Hebei's anti-Japanese armed forces and jointly resist Japan." Now, the Pingjin area is occupied by the Japanese army, and Jizhong is also occupied by the Japanese army, and there are many xiǎo devils on Pinghan Road and Jinpu Road, and there are many xiǎo devils in Handan, Xingtai, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Anyang, and Xinxiang. They fight devils, and we welcome them, and they cooperate closely. If you just want to come to southern Hebei and Luxi to grab grain, grab land, and pull Zhuangding, it will definitely not work. I can tell you responsibly that Division Commander Liu Yimin placed the Second Brigade in Luxi in order to ensure the safety of the anti-Japanese base areas in Luxi and southern Hebei. If anyone dares to go to the base area of our army to spread wilderness, then he must be weighed and weighed whether he is the opponent of the Second Brigade of our Sect! The Japanese army can't do it, and neither can the others! ”

As soon as Liu Jianjian's voice fell, Sun Liangcheng said goodbye and left.

Liu Jianli didn't know that Sun Liangcheng later became a puppet army in history, if he knew, he would definitely arrest Sun Liangcheng directly.

After Sun Liangcheng left, Liu Jianli rode his horse to join the main force.

The battle to capture Cangxian turned out to be started from Dexian first.

The second day of the first lunar month is the traditional day for Chinese to visit relatives. On this day, the Japanese puppet army sentry at the entrance of Cangzhou City opened early in the morning, and those who went out of the city and entered the city, the new nv son-in-law and the new daughter-in-law, no matter who passed through the city, had to accept the exploitation of the Japanese puppet army. Those who have money will send a red envelope to the Japanese puppet army, and if they are a little older, they will hand a cigarette to the Japanese puppet army, shout the boss twice, and say a few words of celebration and auspiciousness, and they will naturally pass smoothly. If you don't have money, you're unlucky, the man's butt has to be hit with two rifle butts, and the nv is miserable, no matter if you are a big girl or a sister-in-law, you will be carefully searched by the Japanese puppet army sentry, saying that it is to check whether there are dangerous items or anti-Japanese propaganda on your body, and there are crying and scolding in the mouth.

In the afternoon, those who went into the city to visit their relatives began to return home, and those who went out of the city to visit relatives also returned to the city one after another. The Japanese puppet army sentry began to work again, and their eyes were still on those new nv sons-in-law and new daughters-in-law, these people would go back to the city with relatives, and they would generally collect some gift money from their elders, relatives and friends.

It's also strange today, a lot of new nv sons-in-law who went out of the city in the morning came back, and none of the new daughters-in-law came back. Ding Baoren, the squad leader of the puppet army led by Mén in the east of the city, stood in front of the wooden horse at the entrance of the city, looking around anxiously, looking eastward. It turned out that in the morning, the son and daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper of a warehouse in the city went to visit relatives, and Ding Baoren just glanced at the new daughter-in-law's xiōng breast, and before his hand could go up, the shopkeeper of the inn who saw him off was busy stuffing a few tickets from the imperial army into Ding Baoren's pocket. Ding Baoren is now looking forward to this xiǎo daughter-in-law fù going back to the city with his relatives, this time he must have a mō, so the handsome xiǎo daughter-in-law fùer, if he is not mō, he will grow these hands in vain! Maybe you can still collect both wealth and money, and by the way, you can get three or twenty yuan of Guangyang from the shopkeeper of the warehouse!

Ding Baoren looked at the innkeeper's daughter-in-law, Fù'er, and was not interested in the other people entering and leaving the city at all, so he asked the other sentinels to investigate.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and the daughter-in-law of the cargo station owner, who had gone back to her mother's house to visit relatives, finally returned to the city, Ding Baoren's heart suddenly became lively, completely ignoring the fact that the two of them were followed by a group of friends who went out of the city to visit relatives, and as soon as the rifle was crossed, they blocked the way of the two of them, and with a smile on their faces, they began to check.

This dog thief, maybe he has been waiting for a long time, and the resentment in his heart has nowhere to vent, so he stretched out his hand and went to Xiǎo daughter-in-law fù's face.

The groom saw that it was not a play, so he quickly took out a few silver dollars with white flowers from his pocket and handed them to Ding Baoren, and kept saying good things in his mouth.

As soon as they saw that there were silver dollars, all the Japanese puppet troops standing guard surrounded them.

Ding Baoren is actually lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. He didn't want to think about it, if there was a xiǎo devil, could the silver dollar reach him?

As a result, the two xiǎo devils standing guard took the silver dollar from Ding Baoren's hand, and also learned the Chinese style, blew it violently, and then put it to his ears to listen to the sound.

The devil soldier seemed to hear the peculiar sound of the silver dollar, put away his rifle, and waved his hand, "Get out of the way!" ”
