received Hong Yueyuan's report that he learned that Zhang Liyuan's muddy water moyu had entered Linyi City. Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong, who were far away in Dawenkou Town, immediately realized that Zhang Liyuan's department that had infiltrated Linyi City was only the first number, and the main force of Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division and Zhang Liyuan, who were striding towards Linyi City, were the protagonists of this Linyi thrilling drama. The show has begun, and the protagonist is naturally on stage. I'm afraid that Linyi City will change hands next.

The nerves of Liu, Luo, and Cai suddenly tensed.

Cai Zhong was still explaining just now that Zhang Liyuan's troops might take advantage of the emptiness of our army's defense in southern Lunan to attack and occupy Linyi, and it became a reality in a blink of an eye, which is simply a prophecy!

Cai Zhong, who was resentful in his heart, kept urging Zhu Zhexiao to send a report quickly, asking about the situation in Linyi City, and informing the field hospital medical team that stayed in Fei County to help Yu Xuezhong's department treat the wounded to pay close attention to Yu Xuezhong's movements, make contingency preparations, and notify the cavalry brigades deployed in Yixian, Zaozhuang, and Tengxian counties to immediately gather their troops and wait for orders to prepare for reinforcements in Linyi.

The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for the slightest hesitation and wandering. However, today's Liu Yimin is no longer the Liu Yimin when he first crossed. The matter was already over, but Liu Yimin didn't panic, sat down and began to meditate.

Zhang Liyuan dared to use such means to attack and occupy Linyi, where the instructor Lunan Military Region was located, and someone must have instructed and relied on it. This reliance is obviously not on the Yu Xuezhong Department, and they can't afford it.

Since this is the case, the Linyi incident is by no means an isolated incident, and I am afraid that Zhang Liyuan and others will have a series of actions next.

Sure enough, just as Luo Ronghuan was waiting for Liu Yimin to appear, the radio received a telegram from the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command.

Shen Honglie, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government and commander of the Security Command, has retired, and in accordance with the order of the Central Military Commission, the provincial government is temporarily acting by Secretary General Lei Fazhang, and the security command is temporarily acting by adviser Chang Ning Chunshuang. Originally, the Shandong Provincial Government and the Security Headquarters were all empty shelves, and there was no channel to contact the Eighth Route Army, when Shen Honglie went from Jinan to Zhangli Yuan Department in Lunan, in order to ensure Shen Honglie's safety, Liu Yimin asked He Xinghua to establish a contact password with Shen Honglie, but now it is used by Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunshuang to fight with Liu Yimin.

Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunshuang said in the telegram that according to the telegram of the Executive Yuan and the Central Military Commission, in order to unify Shandong's administration and Shandong's military command, the Shandong Provincial Government and Shandong Provincial Security Command were moved to Linyi County to lead the anti-Japanese struggle in Shandong Province. From now on, the Shandong Provincial Government will directly take measures to handle the administrative affairs of the southern Lunan region, and the Shandong Provincial Government's Xiluxi Office, Lubei Office, Ludong Office, and various prefectures and county governments will begin to work, responsible for publicizing and organizing the people, organizing and training reserve soldiers, and leading the county and region to resist the war. The Shandong Provincial Security Command is responsible for reorganizing the guerrilla forces behind enemy lines in Shandong in accordance with the order of the Military Commission, and cooperating with the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, the 51st Army, the 57th Army, and the New Fourth Division of the main forces under the Sulu Theater to persist in the war of resistance behind enemy lines in Shandong. I implore Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, and Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army, to follow the requirements of the telegram of the Central Military Commission to abolish the political power organizations of military regions, commissioners, counties, districts, and villages established in various parts of Shandong, and to ensure the unification of Shandong's political decrees and military orders.

Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunshuang were still very modest, and in their telegrams they reviewed the major achievements made by the Eighth Route Army since it marched into Shandong, saying that the Eighth Route Army was the mainstay of Shandong's War of Resistance behind enemy lines, and they vowed to guarantee that once Shandong's government and military orders were unified, the Shandong Provincial Government would guarantee the supply of grain and straw to the main forces of the Sulu Theater.

At the end of the telegram, Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunshuang explained that the reason why the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command did not seek the opinions of General Liu Yimin and General Luo Ronghuan in advance when they were stationed in Linyi was that the orders of the Military Commission were very strict, and the Eighth Route Army was in the midst of fierce fighting.

Please rest assured that the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command are only stationed in Linyi, and the Zhang Liyuan Department and the Wuhua Cultural Department are only stationed in the Linyi area as a guard army to protect the provincial government and the Security Command, and absolutely have no intention of causing any conflict with the Eighth Route Army. All organs and units of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Linyi should work as usual and stay at their own convenience, and the Shandong Provincial Security Command will absolutely not make any further difficulties. It is also possible to change the Eighth Route Army's organs stationed in Linyi into liaison offices and offices stationed in the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command to play a role in communication and liaison. General Liu Yimin and General Luo Ronghuan are requested to order your army to garrison the Linyi army, abide by the principle of unity and resistance against Japan, implement the telegram of the Military Commission, do not take drastic actions against friendly forces, and do not fight a civil war, which can only benefit the devil.

Immediately afterwards, the radio station received another telegram from Zhang Liyuan on his appointment as commander of the First Shandong Security Division and commander of the First Shandong Guerrilla Column. Zhang Liyuan is worthy of being a student of the Department of Political Science of Peking University, and he writes a lot of bells and whistles in the telegram, ranking and fighting, and it is very appropriate. The central meaning is that Zhang Liyuan is not talented, and when he was ordered to resist Japan and save the country, in the spirit of resisting Japan and saving the country, he organized the anti-Japanese people in southern Lunan to form an army, and asked him to be long-retained, cut the fierce and stubborn, and was determined to recover the rivers and mountains of Lunan. Today, under the order of the Chinese Civil Committee, the headquarters was reorganized into the First Shandong Security Division and the First Shandong Guerrilla Column to carry out the Lunan garrison and guerrilla missions behind enemy lines assigned by the Chinese Civil Committee. The headquarters must strictly implement the orders of the Military Commission, the Sulu Theater, and the Shandong Provincial Security Command, unite the Eighth Route Army, cooperate with the main army of the Sulu Theater, and persist in the War of Resistance in Southern Lunan.

After reading the telegram, Cai Zhong immediately said: "This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy planned by someone and let Zhang Liyuan carry it out." While shouting about unity and resistance, he seized the base of the Eighth Route Army, both as a bitch and as an archway. Thunder Chapter. Ning Chunshuang, Zhang Liyuan, and others were afraid of our army's retaliation, so they acted in a vain attempt to use the big hat of unity to resist the war and detain our army and legitimize their sneak attack on friendly base areas. Division commander, make up your mind, quickly transfer the main force back to Lunan and expel the recalcitrant army from Shandong! ”

After speaking, Cai Zhong looked at Liu Yimin with blank eyes, waiting for him to appear.

Luo Ronghuan said in a deep voice: "Division commander, Zhang Liyuan dared to use this means to occupy Linyi City, the center of our Lunan base area, which shows that the Kuomintang is about to be launched in an all-round way. This is just the prelude! It's just that because of the prestige of our army, Zhang Liyuan and his ilk did not dare to sacrifice butcher's knives to the remaining troops and rear organs of our army in Linyi City. Otherwise, the current Linyi City may already be full of blood. I suggest: 1. Immediately report the situation of the Linyi incident to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, ask the Central and General Headquarters to inform Deputy Zhou to lodge a protest with Chiang Kai-shek, and send a telegram of protest to the Chinese Civil Committee and its chairman in the name of Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army, and Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief. 2. Immediately order the armed forces and militia of our place in Yixian County to act quickly to intercept Zhang Liyuan's troops and all the Kuomintang diehards who are trying to enter Linyi City: 3. Order the New Fifth Brigade to leave a section to hold the defense of Maling Mountain, and the main force to quickly dispatch and advance to Linyi, so as to make preparations for supporting the Fifth Brigade in battle: 4. Order the cavalry brigade that is relatively close to Linyi to quickly gather the army, move closer to Linyi in the starry night, and monitor the movements of Yu Xuezhong's department: 5. In view of the fact that Linyi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the main forces of Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen are closer to Linyi, We will definitely catch up with Linyi and control the peripheral key points before the main force of the Fifth Brigade of our Jiao Brigade rushes back, and the main force of the Xuezhong Department is close to Linyi, and can support the operation at any time. The air defense brigade and the armies directly under the division ceased to carry out their current tasks, immediately assembled, and quickly moved to the target of Lunan to completely solve the various units of the recalcitrant army in Lunan by force. ”

Listening to the meaning of Luo Ronghuan's words, it is to gather the main force of the instructor and wipe out the various armies in Lunan in the first battle, which is included in the Xuezhong Department. And after a while, Luo Ronghuan renamed Lu Nan's name as "Stubborn Army".

Historically, after Luo Ronghuan led the 1st Division to the east and entered Shandong, he fought against the Japanese and the puppet on the one hand, and on the other hand, he fought against the stubborn army, and made Shandong the largest base of our party and our army. It is not surprising that Luo Ronghuan said such things now.

You must know that now the strength of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army is much stronger than the strength of our army in Shandong when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, and the other is that since the second half of 1938, in Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and other places, there have often been small frictions between the guerrilla armies behind enemy lines between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army have long been holding back their fire.

The moment Liu Yimin learned that Zhang Liyuan's troops had infiltrated Linyi City, he had already made up his mind to use force to solve Zhang Liyuan's ministry and Wuhua's cultural department. He is the supreme leader of our party and our army in Shandong, and if he does not have this courage, then he is not worthy of being the secretary of the Shandong Bureau, the commander of the Shandong Military Region, and the commander of the instructor and division. Because if Zhang Liyuanbu is not solved by thunderous means, the situation will be mellow. Today, Zhang Liyuan attacked and occupied Linyi, and tomorrow Qin Qirong, Zhang Jingyue, Liu Jingliang, and Zhang Tianzuo may attack and occupy other county seats. Once the Japanese army's heavy army group sweeps through Shandong, our army needs to fight in a mobile manner, and the armed forces in various places take advantage of the situation to seize our rear base areas, undermine the political power in our places, and attack the armed forces in our places, then the situation of the War of Resistance in Shandong will become worse and worse.

Liu Yimin is now thinking about two issues: one is when to solve Zhang Liyuan and Wu Hua's Ministry of Culture, whether to solve it now or after the Japanese army has swept away the army. It's a matter of timing. The 5th Division of the Japanese Army arrived in Qingdao, and the 114th Division arrived in Lianyungang, seeing that the battle clouds in Shandong were thick, and at this time they returned to the division to solve the Zhang Liyuan Department and the Wuhua Cultural Department, which was likely to be taken advantage of by the Japanese army.

The little devil's nose is pointed! Maybe they've already smelled a fishy smell. The second is whether Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Liyuan's actions have anything to do with each other, and only by understanding this can we decide whether to only fight Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huazhong. At this point, Liu Yimin is especially uncertain, no matter what, Yu Xuezhong's Ministry is now an absolute anti-Japanese army, not to mention that Yu Xuezhong may be in the dark by the door and does not know about Zhang Liyuan's actions, even if he knows and intervenes in the action, Liu Yimin is unwilling to solve Yu Xuezhong's Ministry by force because of a Linyi incident, which is self-destruction of the Great Wall,

Only the Japanese army benefited.

Liu Yimin said for a long time: "Lei Fazhang, Ning Chunshuang, and Zhang Liyuan are just pawns, and there are masters behind this..., the purpose is to occupy Linyi without bloodshed and control Lunan." These guys are fierce and thieves, they want to grab land and take advantage, and they are afraid of the impact of our army, so they came up with this cunning trick of disguised refugees to infiltrate Linyi City and control Linyi City. And also raised the order of the military commissar to act as a shield. To tell the truth, I admire the person who made this plan, he chose a good timing, the main force of our army is all on the front line, and he can't return to Linyi in a short time, he must want to wait for us to gather troops to catch up with Linyi, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen's main forces are afraid that they have already controlled Linyi City.

When the time comes, if our army wants to use force against Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen, it will have to attack strongly. Moreover, Zhang Liyuan was acting on the orders of the Military Commission, and it was morally untenable for our army to attack them. Another point, they also calculated that the Japanese army would not sit idly by and watch the war situation in Shandong corrosive, and would definitely gather heavy troops to carry out an unprecedented scale attack on Shandong, and our army would not have time to take care of a small Linyi county. In fact, the Japanese army is indeed about to initiate a large-scale attack, and the main force of our army needs to be highly concentrated to meet the Japanese army. This knife must be dripping with blood. ”

The scab on Cai Zhong's forehead trembled, and he said loudly: "The teacher means to temporarily abandon Linyi?" Luo Ronghuan also had a question.

Liu Yimin shook his head, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and said: "Now we have two ways to clean them up, one is that our army will take action and completely disarm and reorganize them. The second is to ignore it, the Japanese army is about to instigate a sweep, and 1 little devils will not let them go. This is called killing with a knife. ”

Luo Ronghuan stopped talking and began to pace back and forth on the ground.

After smoking a cigarette, Liu Yimin threw the cigarette butt to the ground and roared loudly: "Wind, record the order!" ”

Feng, the deputy director of the consulting office, was waiting anxiously, and when he heard the words of the division commander, he stood in front of the division commander with his umbrella pen and Ben.

I heard Liu Yimin say: "Order: 1. In the name of Liu and Luo, send a telegram to Yu Xuezhong, commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, asking why he sabotaged the unity of the War of Resistance and instructed Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen to attack and occupy Linyi County, the center of our Lunan base area?" The Japanese army gathered, and the Shandong War was imminent, and the Sulu theater acted like this, which was treacherous and stuck a knife in the back of the friendly army. If you don't restrain yourself from the precipice, you will inevitably be spurned by the people of Shandong. Please Commander-in-Chief Yu not do things that are happy for relatives and enemies, and ordered Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen to withdraw from Linyi, and march to the front line of Taierzhuang in accordance with the arrangements of the Feixian Joint Military Conference, and attack the enemy north of Xuzhou. Otherwise, it will be the Sulu Theater that undermines Shandong's unity and anti-Japanese war online, and you will bear the consequences.

2. Call back to Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunshuang, stating that Linyi is the center of our anti-Japanese base in southern Lunan, and our army is fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the front line, but the two are under the banner of implementing the military commission's telegram order.

Occupy my Linyi City. No matter how justified his actions are, they cannot conceal their qualities of sabotaging the unity of the War of Resistance, sneaking up on friendly forces, fighting a civil war, and engaging in friction. I advise the two not to think that they have a plan, thinking that the main force of our army is holding on to the front line with the Japanese army, and they have no time to take care of it, so they dare to do such a thing. In the spirit of unity and resistance against Japan, our army will not worry about the two for the time being. A small city of Linyi is not as important as maintaining the hard-won situation of unity and resistance to war. If the two of them do not order the army to keep their promises, causing casualties among our troops and damage to heavy materials, our army will inevitably attack them by force against the Han and disarm and reorganize.

3. The 4th Brigade and the Luzhong Garrison Brigade returned to Luzhong to defend Luzhong, under the command of Zeng Zhongsheng, the chief adviser and the deputy political commissar of Chanzheng: the 3rd Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade returned to Qinghe, the 7th Brigade returned to Jiaolai, and the 8th Brigade and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade returned to Jiaodong. The commanders of the above-mentioned brigades should immediately set up a heavy anti-Japanese army to sweep the dang operation.

Fourth, the 2nd Jiao Brigade, the 6th Jiao Brigade, and the Luxi Garrison Brigade under the command of Luxi Liu stopped offensive operations, waited for the aircraft in concealment, and immediately set up a counter-sweeping operation in the Luxi area. Fourth, the Taixi Garrison Brigade,

The Tai'an Garrison Brigade set up a guard at the target of Jinan and closely monitored the movements of the Jinan Army.

Fifth, the 1st Brigade of Jiao finished resting and recuperating, set off urgently, returned south in concealment, and recaptured Linyi. The cavalry brigade gathered troops, moved closer to Linyi, and cooperated with the 1st and 5th Brigades to fight. The artillery brigade in Quzhuo immediately set off and advanced to Linyi to support our army's anti-recalcitrant battle in southern Lunan.

6. Order all the places in Linyi, Fei County, and Teng County to be armed and quickly dispatch to the highway line to protect traffic safety, repair roads, and fill in potholes, so that the mechanized group of the 1st Brigade of our Sect can march to Linyi.

7. Instruct Zhao Lian, deputy secretary of the Lunan Prefectural Committee who stayed in Linyi, to negotiate with Zhang Liyuan's department, and lead our army to stay in the army and various organs, and the school should immediately withdraw from Linyi. After saying it in one breath, Liu Yimin thought for a while and said to Luo Ronghuan: "Political commissar, according to what you just thought, send a report to the central government." In the fight against friction, it is first necessary to seize the commanding heights of public opinion, and I estimate that tomorrow morning the Kuomintang radio and newspapers will engage in propaganda that distorts the facts. We must act immediately to expose the truth about the Kuomintang's sabotage of the unity war and the creation of the Linyi Incident. "Liu Yimin said so much earlier, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong both thought that Liu Yimin would temporarily spare Zhang Liyuan, Wu Huawen and others from the overall situation of the battlefield, but they both frowned and didn't say a word.

I didn't expect Liu Yimin to go around in such a big circle, and he actually wanted to let the First Brigade take advantage of the speed advantage of mechanization and go straight to Linyi. Therefore, at the end of the hearing, the two of them also stretched their brows, and their words became lighter.

Cai Zhong said with a smile: "Division commander, you are shooting the first bird with a gun and killing a chicken to show the monkey!" ”

Liu Yimin also smiled and said lightly: "Enemy, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen are the stupid birds, don't beat him."

If he is allowed to occupy Linyi, I am afraid that some people will follow suit. What's wrong with that? Shall the prestige of the teacher be dishonored? ”

Luo Ronghuan immediately asked Cai Zhong to explain his arrangements to Wang Pengju, head of the Propaganda Section of the Political Department, and immediately wrote an article exposing the truth about the Kuomintang's creation of the Linyi Incident, which was published in the Dazhong Daily and sent to the Xinhua News Agency. Luo Ronghuan climbed onto the table himself and personally drafted a telegram to the headquarters of the Central and Eighth Route Army. @
