Li Cheng left the two sisters and went to a room in the compound, where there was only one middle-aged man, saw Li Cheng, and said, "Xiao Li, this temporary task may be a little sudden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Chengdao: "Comrade Liu Ren, no problem, you say, what task?" ”

Liu Ren, born in 1909, is a native of Youyang, Sichuan, and a Tujia family. He went to Beijing in 1924 and enrolled in the High School Attached to Normal University. Under the influence of his uncle Zhao Shiyan, he joined the Chinese Communist Youth League in 1927 and became a member of the Chinese Communist Party in the same year. Later, he went to Tianjin and led the workers in the struggle. In 1935 he was sent to study in the Soviet Union. At the end of 1937, he returned to China and went to Yan'an to serve as the secretary general and head teacher of the **** Central Party School.

In the winter of 1938, Liu Ren went to work in the Jinchaji Anti-Japanese Base Area and served as a member, secretary-general and deputy director of the Organization Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Branch.

In 1942, Liu Ren served as the secretary of the Urban Work Committee of the sub-bureau and the Minister of Enemy Work, and later changed his name to the Minister of Urban Work.

At present, the army is winning victories in Hebei, and is currently actively preparing to capture the county town near Beiping and strengthen the offensive posture in Shanxi.

Liu Ren said: "This time, the Northeast sent a batch of advanced weapons, with 200 horses and 100 camels, from Tangshan to Pingxi. That's a lot of stuff. You are the contact person of the former General Intelligence Department of the Eighth Route Army and our Beiping City Engineering Department, I am short of manpower here, and I would like to ask you to lead a batch of weapons to the headquarters, and when you arrive at the headquarters, your task will be completed. ”

Li Chengdao: "Have you contacted the local government?" It is better to have a local partisan escort. ”

Liu Ren said: "It's all connected." You have to get the weapons safely. ”

Li Chengdao: "Where is the weapon?" Do you want me to pick it up? ”

Liu Ren said: "Wait another hour, you and the two of us will pick it up together." You're going to have to wait here. We've worked together a few times, let's talk. ”

Li Chengdao: "Great. What is the current situation? ”

Liu Ren said: "The Japanese army has suffered repeated defeats, and the Japanese upper echelons have a lot of arguments and hesitation. Because North and Central China were stuck in a state of stalemate, they couldn't pull out people, so they asked the Japanese army in North China to fight north, and as a result, the two major wars failed. Our army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and it seemed that Beiping was taken, so the Japanese army transferred some troops from Central China to move northward to prepare for reinforcements. In addition, they also dispatched some planes from Wuhan to Shandong and incessantly bombed our base areas near Beiping. ”

Li Chengdao: "The air battle I saw yesterday was a Japanese plane from Wuhan?" ”

Liu Ren said: "No, yesterday's plane came from the Pacific Ocean. ”

Li Chengdao: "That's the aircraft carrier you are talking about? I'm curious, aren't the U.S. military and Japan fighting very well in the South Seas? How could they possibly send a fleet? ”

Liu Ren said: "So, they only sent a fleet of one aircraft carrier and five or six warships. The aircraft carrier is the Akagi. ”

Li Chengdao: "Come to think of it, how difficult it is to take off and land a plane on a warship." ”

Liu Ren said: "I listened to the radio in Chongqing in the morning, and the originally optimistic Chongqing side immediately became pessimistic, saying that North China was about to lose it again. ”

Li Chengdao: "I wonder if we have a way to deal with this most modern weapon today?" ”

Liu Ren said: "I don't know. ”

Li Chengdao: "I have a request, I will lead two progressive youths to the headquarters this time, can I take the two of them with me?" Their father worked at the headquarters. ”

Liu Ren said: "Yes." ”

February 28, 1944. Evening. Bohai Bay.

The deepest part of the Bohai Bay is near Penglai County in Shandong. Penglai County is on the north side of the Shandong Peninsula, very close to Dalian. There are several islands not far from the sea off Penglai County, and that is Long Island. Long Island has 32 large and small islands, and only ten islands are inhabited. Of course, this is not Long Island County yet.

To the west of Long Island is the mouth of the Yellow River, and to the north is Lushun. Because it was an island, Japanese rule was weak and it was occupied by the Eighth Route Army. Later, the Dalian Navy urgently needed a base, so it developed it into a training base.

The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was anchored in the waters northwest of Long Island. In winter, the wind is very strong on the Bohai Sea. On the two days when there was no wind, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet dispatched planes to bomb the Eighth Route position near Beiping

During the day today, a strong wind blew on the Bohai Sea, and the plane did not make a sortie. In the evening, the wind stopped.

The two small wooden boats had already arrived near the aircraft carrier fleet by this time. The people on board did not dare to approach and observed with binoculars where they could see the aircraft carrier.

The telescopes are of good quality and can be seen by several warships. The people on the ship looked at the binoculars for a while and said, "Now it would be nice if the Japanese plane took off once, and we would also have a good observation." In this way, our boat has gone a mile further, and I want to take a closer look. ”

The rower said: "Commander, the political commissar has explained, you can't get too close." Be sure you're safe. ”

The commander was Daniel Zhang, and said, "I can't see clearly, how can I make a plan?" Observe slowly? What if this aircraft carrier fleet runs away? ”

On one of the frigates of the aircraft carrier fleet, an observation sentry shouted: "Report: Two small wooden ships have been found in the East. ”

Soon, the captain climbed to the observation post, looked at it with a telescope for a while, and said, "The people on the ship are also observing us with telescopes." It's weird, maybe it's a guerrilla. I guess it won't be a pirate? Very interesting, two small wooden boats that cannot be seen by the radar. ”

Sentinel: "Report: Do you want a few shots?" ”

Captain: "Artillery ready." Two shells, ready . . . Put! ”

Boom, two guns fired in unison.

The observers saw the two small wooden boats explode with shells, causing a high splash.

Soon, the water splashed, and the water there stirred up waves, and where did the boat go? Some can't see clearly. That's the vision of the reflection on the surface of the water. It's dusk and the sight is bad. After waiting for a few more minutes, the water calmed down and the boat was gone.

The observation sentry said, "The boat has sunk. ”

The captain nodded, he believed in the level of his own artillery. Whether it's a guerrilla or a pirate, you must teach a lesson. Even the smallest frigates are not capable of being able to withstand the enemy. These Chinese, what is he going to do?

Soon, he forgot about the little episode. Later, he fell overboard and was captured, and only then did he realize the true meaning of the two small wooden boats that evening.

February 28, 1944. Peiping. Command of the North China Front.

The staff officer took a telegram and went to the office of Lieutenant General Ojodo Sanji.

Ayuto Sanji took the telegram, read it once, his face immediately changed, read it twice, and criticized: "Send it to the commander for reading." ”

The contents of the telegram were shocking, and it was a piece of information about the cooperation between the Northeast Coalition Forces and the United States, and that the Northeast Coalition Forces had built an airfield on Sakhalin Island and asked American planes to land as a base for air strikes against Japan.

Originally, the Japanese army built an airfield on Sakhalin, which was later blown up during the occupation of the Northeast Coalition forces, and later built again. I don't want to be a base for the United States to attack Japan.

The chief of staff of Ayuto Sanji immediately realized that the plan to send reinforcements from the mainland might have failed, and the only feasible thing was to ask the troops of Central China and the region to continue to move north to aid North China.

During this period of time, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, after the defeat of the Battle of Qinhuangdao, Tianjin was also captured, Hebei, Suiyuan, and Rehe were captured one after another, and after the capture of Baoding, Hebei only left Beiping and its nearby areas. If aid is not received in time, then Beiping will fall.

Ask for assistance from the Japanese mainland, the navy and Central China. The mainland is unlikely to come to the aid because of the Sakhalin problem. Naval assistance had arrived, but there was only a formation of an aircraft carrier and a few warships, and dozens of planes on it. Up to today, air battles have been fought several times, because most of the pilots who came to the aid were young people who had just joined the army, and their quality was not high, and they had lost more than 20 planes, and the loss of one was less than one.

The army aided by Central China was entangled by the New Fourth Army and several other **** troops, because the New Fourth Army was also equipped with advanced weapons and received a large number of materials, and its combat effectiveness was suddenly enhanced.

Just as he was thinking about it, a staff officer arrived and said, "Commander, please have a meeting." ”

Commander Okabe Naosaburo saw Oshito Sanji coming in and said, "What do you think of this information?" ”

Ayutthaya Sanji said, "It's impossible for the mainland to send reinforcements. The assistance of the Navy only created some momentum, and was of little substantive significance. The only ones we could rely on were reinforcements from Central China and Shanghai. ”

Okabe Naosaburo said: "I don't think the aid of Central China and Shanghai is unreliable. Recently, the Northeast Coalition Army has recovered military factories, and the production capacity of the military industry has increased dozens of times at once, while our supply of weapons and ammunition is no longer available. Peiping is now under siege, and our fate is not optimistic. In my opinion, we still have to rely on the Northeast Coalition Army and the Eighth Route Army. Yesterday, they wrote to say that the Northeast Coalition Army and the Eighth Route Army in North China formed a front-line command and that they would not agree to our conditions. However, I don't think they closed the road. ”

Ayuto Sanji said, "What do they want?" ”

Okabe Naosaburo said: "First, Shanxi and Hebei do not allow the existence of some imperial troops. Notice that they did not say that they wanted us to surrender, nor did they say that they would fight us in a decisive battle. Secondly, they can guarantee the safety of expatriates and their families. Families and expatriates were allowed to evacuate to Shanghai. Third, we demanded that the Imperial Allied Army in Hebei surrender to them and hand over those who cooperated with us. Give it to them. ”

Ayutthaya Sanji said, "Now, the officers feel that there is a glimmer of hope. Although everyone no longer cares about the nonsense that the base camp made us smash, their fighting spirit is no longer strong. Because of the arrival of the Navy's aircraft carriers, as well as reinforcements, everyone saw hope. So, shall we wait and see? ”

Okabe Naosaburo said, "Wait a little longer and wait and see." ”
