Chairman: They all huddled in front of the map and stared at the Northeast region. Liu Yimin sat there smoking and drinking water. A moment of effort. Sleepiness is coming up. Eyelids straight to fight. I fell asleep in a chair.

these days. Liu Yimin was extremely nervous in his heart. I am afraid that the Japanese devils and the Yankees will compromise and make peace at the last moment. There was no Pearl Harbor. That's a big problem. You can't say this to anyone. I can only suffer silently by myself. I stayed in the office for days and nights without sleeping. Plus fly from Shandong to Xi'an. Another few hours. After arriving in Xi'an. The chairman and the boss didn't know that Liu Yimin hadn't slept for a few days and nights. Pull him to discuss one question after another. I didn't give him a chance to rest. It's good now. Pearl Harbor has already happened. The Pacific War broke out as scheduled. The heaviest stone that has been pressing on Liu Yimin's heart since he went north to resist Japan has finally been removed. The main content of the report to the Central Committee was also stated. All that's left is for the leaders to think, discuss, and decide. Liu Yimin, who is relaxed. I can't stop dragging the attack of the sleeping bug anymore. I fell asleep in a chair in the chairman's office.

The chairman and the boss stared at the map for a full hour. That's when he turned around. I want to call Liu Yimin together and continue the discussion. found that Liu Yimin was sitting upright on the chair and falling asleep!

This moment. The leaders' eyes moistened.

The chairman made a silent gesture. Lightly went to the bedroom and got the bed quilt. Gently put it on Liu Yimin. Then sit in your place. silently looked at Liu Yimin who was asleep. My mind kept churning about the march into the Northeast.

Mr. Zhu and the others did not leave. All sat down. Looking at Liu Yimin in his sleep. They are also thinking about the issue of entering the Northeast raised by Liu Yimin.

Look at Liu Yimin in his sleep. Think about the glorious future after the success of the Northeast. The chairman felt that Liu Yimin in front of him was too good. Since he joined the Red Army . What a great achievement! Now the huge Shandong Military Region. However, it was built step by step on the basis of not asking the central government for a penny. Including this Shaanxi base. At that time in Chengdu, if it weren't for Liu Yimin's reminder. The Red Army gave up Sichuan and took Shaanxi. Where is the situation like today? It turns out. Liu Yimin's every step of planning was right. This comrade. It was for the Chinese revolution and for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. your heart home!

Thinking about it. The chairman just thought. This time, we have to seize the opportunity for Liu Yimin to come back. Let him go to the rebuilt scattered arsenal and pharmaceutical factory. I also have to go to the oil fields in northern Shaanxi to have a look. Let's see if we can expand production.

Think again. I felt like I was about to launch a rectification movement. Further unify the thinking of the whole party. At this time, plan to lay out the Northeast and march into the Northeast. Will it dilute the rectification movement?

The more you think about it, the more you think about it. The chairman wondered if he was considering bringing Liu Yi back. Assist in commanding the overall situation. But when I think about it, I shake my head. Because the front line needs this young tiger general. The march into the Northeast required Liu Yimin to command the army. That's against Japan's 800,000 Kwantung Army. In addition to Liu Yimin. The Chair could not think of anyone better suited to take on that responsibility.

Originally, it was also a suitable person. But. After more than four years of development during the Anti-Japanese War, the 115th Division was far inferior to the main force in Shandong in terms of equipment and strength. With the 115th Division, he went to the northeast to fight against the Kwantung Army, which was armed to the teeth. Don't even think about it for a while. Not an opponent. It is necessary to send the main force of Shandong with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness of our army. And it's the main column of the field that doesn't leave all of it! It is also necessary to let Liu Yimin command the army to march to the northeast. So. There are new problems. One is after the main force of the Shandong Military Region was withdrawn. Which troops to send to Shandong. Who will sit in Shandong. Another problem is that Liu Yimin is too young. The seniority in the party is still a bit shallow. Northeast China, Far East, Outer Mongolia. Such a big mess. If there are fewer people, they can't take care of it at all. A large number of cadres must be sent to the Northeast. Moreover, it is necessary to send cadres with deep seniority, great influence, and high rank. Like a member of the Politburo. At least a few have to go. Only in this way can we facilitate the rapid establishment of a consolidated base area in the northeast. The problem is that there can only be one manager. Sending someone else doesn't always get the job done. Sending Liu Yimin to have too few qualifications. This problem has to be solved first. You can't let one member of the Central Committee lead several members of the Politburo, right?

The chairman is thinking about it here. Liu Yimin was dreaming of Zhou Gong there.

Maybe I miss my son too much. And I'm about to see you soon. Liu Yimin, who was asleep, dreamed of his two sons.

And the son has grown taller. Carrying a school bag to school! Grandma cleaned him up. It turned out to be a sturdy and lively elementary school student. Ping'er was born in June 1938. I'm three and a half years old this year. Dogging people behind my brother's ass. There are two little brothers. It's sticky when you kiss. I beat and cry when I was annoyed. Entangled my grandmother to cry and laugh.

In a dream. I saw my father come back suddenly. He'er dropped his schoolbag and pounced. Three times and two clicks, he climbed on Liu Yimin's shoulder. I had to let my dad run in the yard. Ping'er saw it. He opened his hand and cried and shouted for his father to hug him. Liu Yimin had no choice but to bend down and hold Ping'er in his arms. Put the child on your shoulder. He shouted "De'er, De'er" and ran stupidly in the yard.

It's beautiful. A spin in my head. The images of martyrs such as Huang Su, Li Yimo, Jingjing, Chen Yaoguang, Li Chengyi, Li Donghai, and Guo Zheng appeared. One by one, they saluted Liu Yimin neatly. I only heard Huang Su say: "I'm going to the northeast. It's cold there. The troops had to prepare enough cotton clothes and quilts. Be careful in everything. The Northeast is not allowed to be closed. There are many puppet Manchurian traitors cultivated by the Japanese. The nose is very smart. If the troops are not careful, they will leak secrets. Huang Su just finished speaking. Li Yimo flashed out majestically and highly. Reported loudly: "Report to the division commander. The air defense brigade is assembled. Wait for your order to head northeast. Please instruct! "Immediately after. Li Chengyi, Li Donghai, and Guo Zheng all came over to salute and report. Request instructions. Jingjing, who was left behind, had tears in her eyes. looked at Liu Yimin tenderly. Whispered: "I'm going to the Northeast. You are not allowed to leave me. I was born to be your man. Death is your ghost! I'm going to follow you to the Northeast. Run a newspaper in Chinese, English and Russian. Distributed to countries around the world! Without waiting for Liu Yimin to answer. Chen Yaoguang behind Jingjing said, "You are so ruthless. Don't come to see me. You're back in Xi'an. Remember to go see my parents. Tell them I'm all right! ”

Liu Yimin couldn't hold back any longer. Shouting the names of the martyrs. Wail!

Crying in my sleep. I woke up. Open your eyes. I saw the chairman and the boss all sitting there looking at themselves.

Liu Yimin shook his head vigorously. Wave the dream out of your head. Embarrassed to say, "Alas. How do you fall asleep while sitting? It's all the little devils. I'm young and strong. They've all become sleepy bugs! ”

The boss said lovingly, "You can sleep a little longer!" Have you not closed your eyes for a few days and nights? ”

Liu Yimin straightened his military hat. Said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to sleep. It's the little devil who is too good at tossing. North, south. Hit the USSR for a while. Hit Anglo-American for a while. Does it make people nervous! ”

A few people burst out laughing again.

Liu Yimin went out to get water and washed his face. Clear your mind a bit. This is back to the chairman's office. Continue the discussion.

As soon as the chairman opened his mouth, he said, "The situation in Tohoku is different from that in Kannai. The reason for the failure of the anti-union. The reason is that the Japanese invaders engaged in the policy of merging Datun in the northeast. Separated the troops from the masses. Of course. The main forces of our army marched north to the northeast. And the situation is very different. It is entirely possible to establish a base in a certain area first. Smash the foundations of the Japanese puppet rule. Establish people's power. But. The objective situation is put there. The Japanese rule in the northeast was much more stable than in the occupied areas of Kannai. I pondered for a moment. I feel that the best time for our army to march into the northeast. It should have been after the Kwantung Army had massively transferred troops south to the Pacific Ocean. Now. That time doesn't seem to have come yet. Comrade Liu Yimin. What do you think? ”

The chairman is worthy of being a grand strategist. The key issue is clear at a glance.

Liu Yimin reported. The best time to advance into the Northeast was indeed after the main forces of the Kwantung Army were transferred to the Pacific theater in a big way. But. This time is a bit long. There is no time for a year. U.S. ground forces can't turn the tide in the Pacific theater. The main forces of the Kwantung Army did not need to be transferred to the Pacific Ocean in a big way. Only when the U.S. Army recaptured some of the islands occupied by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army in the Pacific theater was in trouble. Only then could the main forces of the Kwantung Army be transferred south. This time should be the year after. That is, in 1943. We'll have to wait a year. It's a bit long. There's another factor in that. That is, although the Japanese army has swept heavily in Shandong and Shanxi many times. But it has not been able to destroy the main forces of our army. Follow the logic. The next step of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army in the Guannai will definitely first solve the threat to the Japanese army from our army, especially the main force of Shandong. Only then will we be relieved and bold to move south to the Pacific theater. One is that the waiting time is too long. One is that our army will have to fight a bloody battle with the Japanese army in the base area. These two factors add together. My opinion is that it is better to spread the flames of war to the northeast. Although the Kwantung Army is now strong. There was also a well-trained puppet Manchurian Defense Force to assist in the operation. But the Far East, Outer Mongolia, Northeast China. Such a big territory. The Kwantung Army could only be garrisoned in divisions. Our army has fighters that have broken through each other. As long as our army attacks the northeast with all its might. The Kwantung Army is also good . The North China Front is no more. It's all messed up. The entire strategic plan of the Japanese army will be disrupted! And the Japanese army. At this time, it was trapped in the Pacific Theater, South China, Central China, and North China Theater. There were no forces to reinforce the Northeast. Therefore. It can be said that the time is ripe to enter the Northeast! Of course. Drag it back. It's better in the spring. It is possible to avoid the initial arrival of troops in the Northeast. Not adapted to the cold.

Liu Yimin is ambitious. He is going to use the main force of our army in Shandong to fight the Kwantung Army head-to-head. Completely destroy the most elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army on the battlefield. Beat the little Japan completely out of temper. Let them surrender in the future is also mainly to surrender to China!
