Chapter 907 Each has his own scheming

From the very beginning, the Linyi Incident attracted the attention of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party

At night in Huaqing Pond, the lights are lit, peaceful and quiet, holding a candle in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, carefully examining it on the map. A drop of hot wax trickled down, the hot hand trembled, and the candle fell to the ground. Said hatefully: "Chiang Kai-shek bullied people, and candles dare to bully people!" It's just that people are not good enough to drink cold water and stuff their teeth! ”

After Ye Jianying returned to Xi'an from Chongqing, he stayed in the central government because of the military aircraft of the counselor, and assisted in commanding our army to fight against the Japanese puppet army in North China, the Central Plains, Suzhou, Anhui, and Jiangnan.

Hearing this, Ye Jianying also said hatefully: "Chairman, Zhang Liyuan's move is ruthless and accurate, and it just hits the seven inches of our army." Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army has been transferred back from the mainland to the 114th Division and the 5th Division from the northeast. In this way, in the northwest of Shandong, there are the main force of the Japanese Guards Division, the 110th Division, the 41st Division, the 40th Division, and the 37th Division, plus three self-reliant mixed brigades and five groups of the puppet North China Security Army, and the total strength of the Japanese puppet army is close to 150,000 people. If this is not done well, the base areas in southern Hebei and Luxi may again become guerrilla zones. On the Jiaoji Road, the Japanese army concentrated the 5th Division, the 32nd Division, the 36th Division, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Guards Division, the main force of the 27th Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and two self-reliant mixed brigades, plus the Jinan Garrison, the Qingdao Garrison, the Jiaoji Road Garrison and the puppet army. On the Longhai Road, the Japanese 114th Division returned to the defensive ground after making up for it, and the 9th Division was free and could carry out mobile operations. Unless it encounters the main force of the instructor, under normal circumstances, this division can gallop across southern and southeastern Lunan. However, although our army won the victory in the Lunan Campaign, liberated a large area of the country, expanded its strategic depth, separated the main forces, and met the enemy everywhere, committing a taboo in the army. Once the Japanese army encircles a certain base area with heavy forces, our army has no choice but to break through. ”

Ye Jianying wanted to say more, interrupted him, and said hatefully: "What if you don't divide the troops?" Look at Lu Nan, the main force of the instructor pursued the devil, and he pulled the back tui in the rear and occupied Linyi. If the 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, and several garrison brigades do not return to the base areas, Zhang Jingyue, Zhang Tianzuo, Liu Jingliang, and so many security brigade commanders and guerrilla commanders will not turn the world upside down in the base areas? ”

Ye Jianying said with a smile: "The chairman is too worried about this, they can't turn the sky, at best, they are just demolishing the stage with our army." The starting point is still a consolidated base, and there is no such problem in Luxi, Taixi, and Ludongnan, and the local stubbornness there has long been swept away. Even if the little devils attack it, we are not afraid, they will be difficult. What is difficult to do now is that Zhang Liyuan and they made a move at this time, putting our army in a dilemma, and the main force to rescue Linyi is likely to let the Japanese army spy on the fighters and beat us off guard. If you don't go back to Linyi, it is the location of the headquarters of the Lunan Military Region again, and the Fifth Brigade and the New Fifth Brigade have been operating Lunan for so long, and the organs, schools, ammunition and food savings are all there, and they can't be left behind! ”

muttered to himself: "This is going to test Liu Yimin's courage and wisdom!" ”

After thinking for a while, he asked: "How many kilometers does the mechanized army of the first brigade march per hour?" ”

Ye Jianying replied: "30 kilometers to 40 kilometers." ”

After a while, he raised his head and said firmly: "Tell Enlai that it is useless to just protest from the Central Committee and the protest telegrams sent in the names of Zhu and Peng, and that you must meet Chiang Kai-shek face to face and protest to him in person." Tell Liu and Luo that what they want now is speed, and they want to press Linyi with the momentum of thunder. Only by quickly resolving the Linyi Incident can our army free up its hands to meet the heavy sweep of the Japanese army. In particular, I want to remind Liu Yimin that he must not have any illusions about the Xuezhong Department, and do not think that the Xuezhong Department will not fight the Eighth Route Army if it is an anti-Japanese army, that is very naïve! This time, we must teach a lesson to those who try to engage in friction, and let them know what it means to be a friction maker! What is that if a man does not sin against me, I will not be a prisoner, but if a man sins against me, I will be a prisoner! ”

Yu Xuezhong received a telegram from the Eighth Route Army in the name of Liu and Luo, and only then did he know that Zhang Liyuan's Ministry and Wu Hua's Ministry of Culture had killed Linyi City, and his hands and feet were cold.

Yu Xuezhong found Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, and asked him if he knew about Zhang Liyuan and Wu Hua's Ministry of Culture attacking and occupying Linyi.

Although Zhou Fu is a famous anti-Japanese hero in history, it is also above board. Besides, at this point, it's impossible not to tell the truth. Zhou Fu bluntly told Xuezhong's inquiry, saying that he was ordered by the Military Commission to occupy Linyi by Zhang Liyuan's Ministry and Wuhua's Ministry of Culture. But it's not an invasion, it's an occupation. That is, Zhang Liyuan's Ministry and Wuhua's Ministry of Culture escorted the Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Provincial Security Command to peacefully stationed in Linyi, the central county seat of the Lunan Mountains. Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunlin have already reported this matter to the Eighth Route Army, and Zhang Liyuan has also sent an inaugural telegram. It was all an order of the Military Commission, and Liu Yimin should know that it is his duty to obey orders, and he should cooperate with Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen's actions.

Yu Xuezhong's eyes stared at Zhou Fu deadly, trying to see whether Zhou Fu was really stupid or too shrewd. As a result, Yu Xuezhong couldn't see why he looked at it for a long time, because Zhou Fu was fearless, his eyes were level, and he met Yu Xuezhong's gaze.

Yu Xuezhong sighed, his tone was full of loneliness: "Director Zhou, you did such a big thing behind my back, which means that there is no one in your eyes at all." Forget it, if you want to set people on fire, it's no wonder that others, you will bear the trouble yourself, I, Yu Xuezhong, won't say anything, I will ask Chairman Jiang to resign, I can't do this commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, I will let Xian. ”

Zhou Fu couldn't imagine that Yu Xuezhong would say such a thing, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he knew that at this moment, Yu Xuezhong must not be allowed to retire. Don't say that he retired, that is, the 51st Army and the 57th Army were connected to neutrality, and Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen would be dead. Once the Eighth Route Army knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yu Xuezhong, wouldn't it immediately wave its troops to besiege Linyi? With the combat effectiveness of Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department, how could they be the opponents of the Eighth Route Army, which was prone to destroying Japanese divisions and regiments? Besides, the 51st Army and the 57th Army are both Northeast Army, and they cannot be commanded by Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu calmed down and said sincerely: "Commander-in-Chief Yu, it's not that we don't tell you, it's that you have a close relationship with the Eighth Route Army, and the two armies cooperate in battle, that is, we tell you, will you support us?" Entering and occupying Linyi, and then controlling the Lunan Mountains and establishing an anti-Japanese base in the Lunan Mountains are major matters of life and death in Shandong, and the Military Commission ordered the General Headquarters of the Sulu Theater to set up Linyi, but you turned a deaf ear and did not carry it out. What do you let us do? Tell you that it can only attract your criticism; If you don't tell you, you feel distrusted. With the order of the Military Commission on one side and you as the commander-in-chief on the other, I am also very embarrassed. Personally, I believe that the decision of the Central Military Commission to occupy Linyi is very wise, and as a soldier, we must resolutely implement it. In desperation, I had no choice but to convey the secret order to Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan, and the decoration was executed. Commander-in-Chief, if I do something wrong, please punish me. However, it is absolutely impossible to say such a thing as resignation, which can only disappoint the chairman and make Liu Yimin happy. ”

Yu Xuezhong saw that Zhou Fu's sophistry was the head, and his heart was angry, but he turned out to be the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, and he assumed the responsibility of persisting in the war of resistance behind enemy lines in Shandong, not that he could retire if he retreated. Besides, if something so big happens, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and don't ask. Even if you want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, the Eighth Route Army has begun to ask questions, and he still has to reply, right?

Yu Xuezhong pondered for a long time, and said to Zhou Fu: "I advise you with good words, this Linyi City is not something that Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen can defend. Once Liu Yimin returns to the division for reinforcements, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen are afraid that they will not be able to run. Even if the Eighth Route Army is confined to the order of the Military Commission and does not care about you, when the Japanese army is heavily encircled and suppressed, as soon as the Eighth Route Army retreats in concealment, Linyi City will become the target of the Japanese army. With the combat effectiveness of Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen's army, the little devils can defeat them with one brigade. According to me, it is better to apologize to the Eighth Route Army, withdraw from Linyi City, and return to the original defensive area. ”

Zhou Fu felt that Yu Xuezhong was too old to be reasonable, and Chairman Jiang's painstaking plan finally seized the opportunity to succeed in one fell swoop, how could he retreat lightly? Therefore, Zhou Fu said: "Commander-in-Chief Yu, I have no right to order Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen to retreat. ”

Yu Xuezhong saw that Zhou Fu didn't advance, and wanted to owe Heng why he was so stubborn, so he said: "Director Zhou, Brother Zhou, I am a few years older than you, and I have experienced more things than you." I'll open the skylight for you and say bright words, thinking that when Zhang Dashuai was in the past, the Northeast Army was in the northeast and peeking into the world, who were you afraid of? Now that the 300,000 army has disappeared, and the Northeast has fallen under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, you don't understand this feeling. Why don't I want to occupy Linyi? I want to unify Shandong's military orders and government orders, so that the Eighth Route Army will obey my command. However, I know that since our army entered Shandong, it must cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in combat. Why? Strength is not good. If our army and the Eighth Route Army misfired, the consequences would be catastrophic. A division of the Japanese army can beat us to the point of losing our armor and abandoning our armor, but when we encounter the main force of the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, the little devils of a division and regiment do not even dare to move. What does this mean? It shows that if the Eighth Route Army wants to clean us up, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to resist. Brother, now that the Eighth Route Army is cooperating well with us, we can cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to fight, kill more little devils, and take the opportunity to expand the army and strengthen our strength, so why can't we wait to provoke the Eighth Route Army? ”
