Section 10 Storm and Clouds I

The third part of the Bloody and Fire War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing and Tenth

The Yellow River in autumn is like a restrained yellow dragon, becoming gentle and calm, the sound of cannons has gradually faded, the traces of war are still clearly visible everywhere, the dead bodies have been buried, the white flags on the graves flutter in the autumn wind, the destroyed houses, the gunsmoke-blackened land, can be found everywhere. \、ǒM//

The excitement of the liberation was still in the air, and the provisional government of Shandong Province ordered that in order to restore the war economy, the agricultural tax would be exempted for two years, the commercial tax would be reduced to 5 percent, the land rent could only be collected by a maximum of 30 percent, and the factories would be exempted from business tax for two years. Along with the promulgation of this series of decrees to revive the economy, a large number of task forces have been dispatched to various places.

Zhuang Jihua persuaded Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing to boldly use new people in Shandong, the situation in Shandong was complicated, the GCD occupied nearly half of Jiaodong, and about a third of the Yimeng Mountains, the territory of the two parties was staggered, and it was easy to misfire. More importantly, in the future, there will inevitably be fierce contention between the two parties in Shandong.

And this kind of competition is first of all a struggle for the hearts and minds of the people, the GCD troops are very difficult economically, the Nationalist Government announced that agricultural taxes will be exempted in Shandong, which puts pressure on the GCD, if they continue to collect public grain, then the Nationalist Government has a great advantage.

After convincing Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua put forward his own list of members of the Shandong Provincial Government, Provincial Chairman Teng Jie, Secretary General Zhang Liyuan, Security Commander Gong Chu, and Deputy Commander Yang Yuchun. For the latter two, not only Chiang Kai-shek, but even He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were very surprised, such an important area of Shandong sent two GCD rebel generals, which would cause a huge shock among the ** generals.

For this reason, Zhuang Jihua explained in detail that although Gong Chu and Yang Yuchun were GCD rebels, their exceptional promotion would have a huge impact on GCD personnel; Secondly, it is precisely because they have experience in GCD and are familiar with the combat methods of GCD; In the end, they defected from the GCD, so they were politically credible.

However, Chiang Kai-shek still disagreed, believing that this staffing was too young, and finally decided to let He Siyuan be the chairman of Shandong Province, and Teng Jie was in charge of the Shandong Party Department and served as the secretary general. Gong Chu and Yang Yuchun have no problem in terms of qualifications, Gong Chu will not talk about it, he was the deputy chief of staff of the theater a few years ago, and Yang Yuchun also graduated from the third phase of Huangpu, but he has GCD experience, so he has not been reused. However, Chiang Kai-shek was still not at ease, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi also thought it was inappropriate, and finally Chiang Kai-shek decided to appoint Yu Xuezhong as the commander of Shandong Security, and the deputy commander was Yang Yuchun.

He Siyuan served as the chairman of Shandong Province, even Zhuang Jihua could not raise objections, He Siyuan is a well-known Chinese education expert, since 1928 has served as the director of the Shandong Department of Education, since then more than ten years no matter how the provincial chairman changes, he has been holding this position, during this period, Shandong education has made great progress.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army invaded Shandong, Han Fuyu abandoned the city and fled, as a civilian official, He Siyuan could have retreated with the provincial government, but he didn't, he stayed in Shandong, organized a guerrilla army, and was active in the area from Liaocheng to Jinpu line in northern Lubei. He Siyuan enjoys a high reputation in Shandong, not only his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over Shandong, but also his personality strength is very high, the ** general behind the enemy, the GCD guerrillas, and even the puppet army obey him, during the fall, He Siyuan's people are unimpeded even in the enemy-occupied area.

Yang Yuchun has been persisting in the war of resistance behind enemy lines in Shandong in recent years, first in Weishan Lake, and later in Luzhong, and established a base in the mountainous area from Laiwu to Tai'an, until this Shandong operation, was squeezed out by the Japanese army. In the past few years behind enemy lines, in Shandong, except for Qin Qirong, he was very interested in the conflict with the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, and unlike Qin Qirong, Yang Yuchun fought more skillfully and was more politically active.

When Zhuang Jihua was dealing with family affairs in Chongqing, the pursuit of Youmo Jingsan was also over, and the end of Jingsan was surrounded and intercepted by the squadron, and the troops were divided into three units, and they drilled out of the incomplete encirclement of the squadron and fled into the central Hebei region. There were more than 60,000 troops of the last Jingsan, and in the end only more than 10,000 people remained, and they joined the vanguard of the Ninth Division that came to reinforce in Jizhong.

The gunfire in the entire theater calmed down, and both sides stopped tiredly to count the results. China recovered the whole of Shanxi, the whole of Shandong, north of the Huai River, most of Anhui, the whole of Henan, and the front of the troops approached the North China Plain, seeing the troops coming to the city of Pingjin.

On October 10, in the city of Jinan, colorful flags fluttered, and the former headquarters of the Japanese 12th Army was stationed, and all the generals of the Western Front, including Tang Enbo's in Europe, gathered in Jinan. On the temporary rostrum, a long red banner was hung, with three big characters written on it, to celebrate the meeting. At the meeting, He Yingqin, a representative of the base camp, read out the commendation orders of the central government and the Military Commission, conferring certificates of martial arts on the First Mechanized Group Army, the New 12 th Army, and the 24 th Group Army, and awarding the Blue Sky and White Sun Medals to more than 1,600 people, including Zhuang Jihua, Du Yuming, Lan Yundong, Song Xilian, Yang Sen, and Sun Zhen.

Jinan Mingsu, the people's representative read out the certificate of appreciation on behalf of the people of Shandong at the meeting. He Siyuan, the new chairman of Shandong Province, announced the policy program of the Shandong Provincial Government, in which He Siyuan focused on the comprehensive implementation of social reform in Shandong, strictly reduced rents and interest rates, and mobilized the people of the whole province to work together to heal the wounds of war.

Zhuang Jihua then also took the stage to speak, in this speech, Zhuang Jihua reiterated the need to carry out social reform, "Shandong has millions of people, can provide hundreds of thousands of soldiers, fertile land, rich minerals, as long as we can make up our minds, we will be able to build Shandong into a base for the war of resistance." ”

However, things in Shandong are not so simple, the world rings out of Shandong, Shandong is an area with many bandits, after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the bandits in Shandong have also been divided, some of the bandits surrendered to become a puppet army, some still remain independent, continue to be bandits, and some have invested in GCD; On the contrary, a very small number of people defected to the Kuomintang, and the reason was actually very simple: a large part of the reason why these bandits went to the mountains to become bandits in the first place was that the government was fighting each other, and it was very difficult for them to defect to the government.

Second, Shandong suffered great losses in this battle, Liaocheng, Jinan, Tai'an, Jining and other places were extremely badly damaged, and the war refugees were in the millions, and winter was approaching, and relief of refugees became a top priority.

At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua came up with the old method, which was to combine the military and the people, set up a refugee relief committee in Jinan, and the military division to help the refugees rebuild their homes.

After the celebration meeting, He Yingqin presided over a meeting of senior generals in the theater in the afternoon of the same day. This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not come to Shandong for two reasons: first, after Zhuang Jihua left, he decided to personally intervene in the negotiations with GCD; Second, the Tehran meeting was imminent, and he did not have time to come to Shandong, so He Yingqin announced it.

He Yingqin announced at this meeting that the Jiangbei Theater would be divided into the Jianghuai Theater and the North China Theater, and the commander of the North China Theater, Zhuang Jihua, and the deputy commanders Tang Enbo and Sun Lianzhong; Jianghuai Theater Commander Guan Linzheng, Deputy Commander Li Pinxian. At the same time, the troops were adjusted, and the 21st Group Army, the Fourth Group Army, the 15th Group Army, the 92nd Army, and the 46th Army, as well as the newly formed 29th Group Army of the Sichuan Army, the Sulu-Anhui Border Region Guerrilla Corps, and other former combat units on the southern front, but what made Guan Linzheng a little dissatisfied was that the new 12th Army, his descendant unit, was included in the North China Theater.

In the process of allocating troops, He Yingqin and Zhuang Jihua had the same attitude, considering the upcoming decisive battle in North China, so they did not dare to weaken the troops in the North China Theater, and all the troops with strong combat effectiveness remained in the North China Theater.

The operational areas of the Jianghuai Theater include Jiangsu, Anhui, and Hubei. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the transfer of the New Eighth Army and the 112th Army from the Burma Theater to the North China Theater; This incident also caused Stilwell to protest, and only the 66th and 58th armies remained in the Burma theater.

After this adjustment, the North China Theater included the First Group Army, the Second Group Army, the Fifth Group Army, the 22nd Group Army, the 23rd Group Army, the 24th Group Army, the 36th Group Army, the 31st Group Army, the 49th Group Army, the 50th Group Army, the New Eighth Army, the Third Army, the New First Army, the New Sixth Army, the 74th Army, the Third Green Army, the Fourth Green Army, the New Eighth Army, the New 20th Army, the Eighth Army, the 112th Army, and the New 110th Division, as well as a large number of guerrillas behind enemy lines and the puppet army. Among them, the guerrillas behind enemy lines and the puppet army must be reorganized.

After the meeting was dismissed, Zhuang Jihua invited He Yingqin and all the generals who participated in the meeting at the headquarters, He Yingqin just agreed, and saw Guan Linzheng with a look of regret, while Song Xilian was in pain, and felt a little strange in his heart.

The meals on the table are extremely simple, a fried shredded pork, a plate of scrambled eggs, and the remaining six dishes are all vegetarian dishes, the soup is enough, the side vegetable soup, a large pot.

"Hehe, Cultural Revolution, you are simple enough." He Yingqin was not polite, and he sat in the first place.

"Everyone, whatever," Zhuang Jihua greeted, then sat next to He Yingqin, and Guan Linzheng sat on the other side of He Yingqin: "No way, after this battle, Shandong is stuck, you have also seen, how much is at stake in the destruction of Jinan, I came back in the past few days, I received a report that the number of refugees in various places is as high as 1.4 million, and what is more serious is that before the defeat of the Japanese army, most of the grain was plundered, and the entire Guangfu area was short of food, so I had to live a tight life, and I was wronged by the teacher." ”

"Share the joys and sorrows, hehe, come and toast to victory" He Yingqin smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and picked up the wine glass, this wine is a famous wine in Shandong, but this wine is only one jar, placed in the chief, and the rest of the table is ordinary wine.

"Cheers" the generals stood up together, raised their glasses, and chanted in unison.

"Yudong, after you take charge of the Jianghuai Theater, you will reorganize the troops in the theater," He Yingqin said to Guan Linzheng after sitting down: "The pamphlet made during the Cultural Revolution is very good, and the combat effectiveness of the troops in the Jiangbei Theater is so strong, which has a lot to do with this. ”

"The students understand that after the students arrive in Jianghuai, the first step is to reorganize the troops." Guan Linzheng nodded and said, Guan Linzheng knew in his heart that the combat mission in the Jianghuai Theater was not heavy, and he had plenty of time to rectify the troops, and secondly, there were several troops in the Jianghuai Theater that were deeply suspected of GC, such as the Fourth Group Army, the predecessor of this group army was Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army; Zhao Shoushan, commander of the 38th Army, the main force of the group army, had a close relationship with the GCD, and the military commander had already reported it, and the division commander Kong Congzhou was also suspected of GD, and this unit must be reorganized.

In addition, the 57th Army Miao Zhengliu Department must also be rectified, Miao Zhengliu Department insisted on the Sulu border during the War of Resistance, the troops rebelled, and the subordinate 111th Division defected to the Eighth Route Army, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, revoked the number of the 57th Army, and Miao Zhengliu led the remaining 112 Divisions to retreat into the Soviet Union. Guan Linzheng wanted to reorganize this army several times, but in the end he didn't have the opportunity, and now this unit is responsible for the defense of the north bank of the Yangtze River.
