Chapter 584 Before the Trip

After the public trial of Gu Shoufu, Liu Yimin convened a joint meeting of the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Military Region, and the Senate of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government.

In addition to the original eight main brigades, cavalry brigades, artillery brigades, and units directly under the division, there are also six garrison brigades, including the Luxi Garrison Brigade, the Luxi Second Garrison Brigade, the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, the Taixi Garrison Brigade, the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, as well as three brigade-level detachments of the Tai'an Detachment, the Southeastern Lu Detachment, and the Northern Jiangsu Detachment. The other units are easy to talk about, and the cadres Liu Yimin are familiar with them, but the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade have been engaged in anti-sweeping operations since they were formed, and Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, individual brigade-level cadres of the two brigades, have not yet met. Therefore, before the meeting, Liu Yimin took a special morning to listen to the reports of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade.

Gao Jinchun, commander of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, was a native of Mizhi in northern Shaanxi, and together with Liu Zhidan, he founded the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and the base area in northern Shaanxi. After Liu Yimin inspected the 27 th Red Army, a group of Red Army cadres from northern Shaanxi were transferred to study at the Red Army University, and Gao Jinchun was one of them. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the central government sent military cadres to North China and Shandong to carry out work, and he, Hong Tao, Liao Rongbiao and others all went to Shandong to help the Shandong party organize an uprising.

Liao Rongbiao, commander of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, is a native of Ganxian County, Jiangxi, and the old Red Army who joined the first Red Army in 1929 turned out to be a cadre of the First Red Army.

Before coming to see Liu Yimin, the brigade-level cadres of their respective units were all washed and cleaned, and asked them to line up to enter the division headquarters, and when they arrived at the office of the division commander and political commissar, they must listen to the orders and shout a report in unison.

Song Cheng, political commissar of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, and Yao Zhongming, political commissar of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, are both natives of the backbone cadres of the underground party in Shandong, and neither of them have seen the legendary hero Liu Yimin. Seeing the strictness of Gao Jinchun and Liao Rongbiao's requirements, both of them couldn't help muttering: "See you when you see it, why do you have to enter the division headquarters as a whole team and listen to the password and shout the report?" ”

Liao Rongbiao had sharp ears, and when he heard it, he said: "The two political commissars, the division commander is not an ordinary person, he is a legendary hero of our army, and the powerful instructor is what he pulled up single-handedly." The regiment commanders and political commissars of the main forces of our army basically studied at the Red Army University, and it should be said that they were all his students. It is a blessing to be able to salute him and shout a report, which shows that our troops have withstood the test in the anti-mopping operations. He's a person, how can he say it, he is full of spring breeze to his comrades and comrades-in-arms, and he is ruthless to the little devils, you know, the commander of the 10th and 8th Division, Xia Yuan Xiongmi, was nailed to the wall by him with brushes, pens, and pencils. Think about it, how incredible that is."

As soon as Song Cheng and Yao Zhongming heard this, they knew that their two brigade commanders wanted to show the military style, military discipline and combat effectiveness of the troops in front of the division commander and political commissar, and they were relieved, and they straightened their uniforms, followed Gao Jinchun and Liao Rongbiao, and walked into the division headquarters in a standard military posture.

In fact, when the leaders of the two garrison brigades entered the courtyard of the division headquarters, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, Tan Zheng, and Cheng Cuilin were all quietly watching in front of the window. Seeing Liao Rongbiao and Gao Jinchun taking the lead, leading their respective brigade commanders into the division headquarters neatly, Luo Ronghuan let out a sigh of relief: "The brutal Jiaodong anti-sweeping operation has trained us two more troops."

When a neat report sounded outside the door, Liu Yimin showed a smile on his face and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and the cadres of the two garrison brigades walked into Liu Yimin's office, and after standing still, they saw Gao Jinchun shouting loudly: "Report to the division commander and political commissar: Gao Jinchun, commander of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, Song Cheng, political commissar, Song Zhuting, director of the Political Department, and Zhao Xichun, chief of staff, are ordered to report, please instruct."

After Gao Jinchun's report, Liao Rongbiao also immediately reported: "Report to the division commander and political commissar: Liao Rongbiao, commander of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, Yao Zhongming, political commissar, Huo Shilian, director of the Political Department, and Ma Yaonan, chief of staff, were ordered to report, please instruct."

After Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan both returned the salute, they stepped forward to shake hands with the cadres one by one and asked them all to sit down.

The instructor occupied Jinan, and the seizures were naturally very rich, and the Eighth Route Army bought and sold them publicly, and it didn't take long for the Jinan market to become active. No, Liu Yimin not only took out peanuts and candy to entertain the cadres of the two garrison brigades, but also took out cigarettes and stuffed a pack into everyone's hands, asking them to chat while eating and smoking, and talk about the situation of the troops and the two base areas of Jiaodong and Qinghe.

Gao Jinchun and Liao Rongbiao have met Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Cheng Cuilin for the first time since graduating from the Red Army University. Song Cheng, Song Zhuting, Zhao Xichun, Yao Zhongming, Huo Shilian, and Ma Yaonan were seen for the first time. As for Zeng Zhongsheng and Tan Zheng, they used to fight side by side in Ludong and Jiaodong, and they are very familiar.

Among these cadres,

Gao Jinchun and Liao Rongbiao knew Liu Yimin's temper, grabbed the cigarette and smoked it, stuffing candy and peanuts into their mouths while smoking, and did not forget to say, "This little devil's candy is his ** delicious" The brigade commander was like this, and the others immediately started to act after being a little restrained, and there was a gurgling sound in the office.

After smoking cigarettes, eating peanuts and candy, and drinking water, Liao Rongbiao took off his hat and began to report, opening his mouth to say: "Division commander, our Qinghe Garrison Brigade has suffered a big loss, you have to quickly transfer more cadres and replenish ammunition for us, it's best to form an artillery regiment for us too, and when we beat the little devil next time, we can beat it with our eyebrows raised."

When Liu Yimin heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with his ears, why are these people a bit like Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" now, opening his mouth is to take advantage, and even Liao Rongbiao, who looks gentle and elegant, and is called Liao Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Commander by the people, has also learned badly.

Liu Yimin smiled slightly: "I said Liao Bodhisattva, you are a combat unit, I am still waiting for you to hand over the loot, if you can't do it, the commander of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, just say it, I have more people here who can do this work."

Yao Zhongming, political commissar of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, had a bookish look on his face, and when he heard that Liu Yimin meant to remove Liao Rongbiao from his post as commander, he quickly stood up and reported: "Report to the division commander: You can't remove Liao from the post of brigade commander, we relied on his military command to launch the Heitieshan uprising, and he is a person who has made great contributions." ”

After the report, Yao Zhongming found that the division commander and political commissar were all looking at him with a smile, where did they look like they wanted to remove Liao Rongbiao from his position

Sure enough, Liao Rongbiao said angrily: "Political Commissar Yao, I want to ask the division commander for some cadres and equipment, and now it's over, I'll let you spill it."

Only then did Yao Zhongming understand that Liao Rongbiao and the division commander were too familiar, and they were communicating in a way they were familiar with

Liu Yimin still looked like he was smiling: "I said Liao Rongbiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, the red ghost has become a big brigade commander, and the problem has come out, and I have begun to learn to blackmail me." ”

Liao Rongbiao smiled: "You are almost finished destroying the little devils in Shandong with the main force, who will my Qinghe Garrison Brigade ask for food and drink in the future?" Who are you looking for if you don't look for you? Teacher, everyone says that you are eccentric, and I think it's really like that. Not to mention tanks and armored vehicles, those are your baby bumps, let's not want Lao Liao. Those bazookas, anti-aircraft guns, etc., can you also allocate a little bit to the Qinghe Garrison Brigade? Even if it's a few, we've seen the devil mechanized division, it's useless to say anything without that thing, and the soldiers may not be able to deal with those iron bumps if they sacrifice their lives. ”

Liu Yimin was angry and didn't pay for his life: "Will you use the bazooka if you give it to you?" ”

Liao Rongbiao still smiled: "You are saying that your own education level is not good, I am a graduate of the Red Army University, and I am your student, not to mention bazookas, anti-aircraft guns, even tanks, I can also drive them." Besides, most of the regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders under my command were sent from the Third Brigade, and the equipment of the Third Brigade is so good, can't you let them give me some evenness? Please, I really beg you" As he spoke, he stood up and saluted Liu Yimin again.

Luo Ronghuan watched from the side and smiled, these guys have simply become a copy of Li Chang, asking for things without a red face and a heartbeat

I only heard Luo Ronghuan say: "Okay, stop playing treasure, hurry up and report to work, we are busy, if you don't stop talking, we will kick you out"

As soon as he saw Luo Ronghuan speak, Liao Rongbiao stopped playing treasures, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, and then began to report.

Liao Rongbiao reported a lot of content, first reported on the situation of launching the Heitieshan Uprising and forming the "Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Rescue Fifth Army" after entering Shandong, and then reported on the combat situation of the troops after being reorganized into the Qinghe Garrison Brigade.

Liu Yimin listened very carefully, because he knew that after Liao Rongbiao arrived in the Luzhong region in history, it was based on the Heitieshan Uprising, one person became hundreds, hundreds of people became thousands, and finally pulled out a main force of tens of thousands of people. When it comes to Liao Rongbiao, everyone in Luzhong knows and knows about it. This is also a legendary general in a hundred battles who has made miraculous contributions to the republic, and he is not inferior to the commanders of several main brigades.

After Liao Rongbiao finished reporting, Gao Jinchun then reported on the work of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade.

Gao Jinchun's report is similar to Liao Rongbiao's report, first reporting on the situation of launching the Tianfushan Uprising and forming the "Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Rescue Third Army" together with Li Qi, Lu Zhiheng, and Lin Yishan after arriving in Shandong, and reported in detail the sacrifice of Comrade Li Qi, and then reported on the fighting situation after being reorganized into the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade.

After listening to the report, Liu Yimin praised the Qinghe Garrison Brigade and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, saying that in the face of the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression, they cooperated with the Jiao 7 Brigade to fight, and they were able to ensure that the ranks did not collapse and the people's hearts did not disperse, and they were able to quickly replenish casualties, replenish the outstanding soldiers for the Jiao 7 Brigade, and ensure the combat effectiveness of the main force.

After the commendation, Liu Yimin instructed Liao Rongbiao and Gao Jinchun that it is imperative to do several tasks at the moment, one is to pay close attention to the reorganization and training of the troops, and prepare for the new battle. We must bear in mind the glorious tradition of our army's branches being built on the company, and form a political work system in which the company has a party branch, a platoon has a party group, and a squad has a backbone party member, so as to build the army into an iron army that cannot be dragged down or defeated. At present, although our army has captured Jinan and can attack Qingdao at any time, the enemy situation is constantly changing, and the Japanese Fifth Division, escorted by the combined fleet, will soon land in Qingdao. In this way, the Japanese army formed a flanking attack on our army from the east, south, and north. In the Ludong area, our army only has one main force of the Eighth Brigade, and if the Japanese Fifth Division does not leave Qingdao, our army will not make arrangements to attack Qingdao for the time being. In this way, the Jiao 8 Brigade will monitor the enemy in Qingdao, and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade will be the support units of the Jiao 8 Brigade, and they must be ready to fight at any time. As for the weapons that are required to be equipped, they can be applied to the logistics command after the meeting, so that the troops can be quickly equipped and their combat effectiveness can be formed as soon as possible.

The second is to quickly restore the Jiaodong base area and the Qinghe base area. Since the main force is waiting in concealment, the restoration and reconstruction work in the Jiaodong, Qinghe, Luzhong, and Jiaolai base areas will be carried out on the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade. It is necessary to obey the unified leadership of Deputy Political Commissar Tan Zheng and the Formation and Training Headquarters, and fight wherever it is directed, and absolutely do not allow the phenomenon of violating orders and not complying with them. This time, it is necessary to lay a solid foundation for the base areas, with county party committees, county governments, and county brigades, district party committees, district governments, and district squads in districts, and party branches, village heads, and militia units in villages, so as to form a solid network of political power. It is necessary to make use of the leisure time in winter to mobilize the masses to build water conservancy projects and prepare for droughts. It is necessary to organize the masses to dig tunnels on a large scale and dig tunnels to the outskirts of Qingdao, so that as long as the little devils dare to show their heads, they will be greeted by mine formations and tunnel warfare, trapping them to death in Qingdao.

The third is to vigorously expand the armed forces. The garrison brigade not only undertakes local garrison and combat missions, but also serves as a supplementary force to the main force. In the next step, it is necessary to actively mobilize young and middle-aged people to join the army. All garrison brigades should set up new regiments, and at least one garrison brigade should establish three new regiments to conduct initial training for the recruits, and then hand them over to the training headquarters for centralized training. After completing the training, they will be pulled into the main force for actual combat training, and then transferred back to the garrison brigade to complete the garrison brigade establishment. The main regiments of the former garrison brigades should be transferred to the main force to participate in major campaign operations. All county brigades should be built in accordance with the establishment of battalions of the main force and undertake the task of defending base areas, and they can also be upgraded to combat units of garrison brigades. And so on, to form a good mechanism for the replenishment of our army's soldiers.

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan put forward further requirements for strengthening the ideological and political work of the troops.

According to Luo Ronghuan, the main force has strong combat effectiveness because, apart from tactical training and weaponry, the most important thing is that it has done solid ideological and political work. When a regiment, a battalion, a company, a platoon, or even a squad is surrounded by a strong enemy, it can fight to the end without fear of danger. This is the power of ideological and political work, and every soldier knows who he is fighting for and why, has a clear goal of struggle, and is not afraid of sacrifice. Since the garrison brigades are newly formed units, although they have done a good job in ideological work, they are far from the main force and must catch up.
