After the meeting, Mr. Zhu ordered the brigade commanders to return to their units and discuss some specific issues with Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong.

The specific issues that Mr. Zhu wants to discuss, in fact, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong have discussed many times on the march. One is the question of where the main forces of Liu and Luo retreated when the Japanese army rushed to Shimen. According to Liu Yimin's original battle plan, he was to go to the Pingjin area to hide and wait for an opportunity to reoccupy Tianjin. However, this plan is no longer feasible, because Tada Jun has already transferred the 110th Division back to the Pingjin area, plus the 35th Division that has retreated to Baoda Road, and it is no longer possible for the Eighth Route Army to "touch" Tianjin without knowing it. The second is the issue of the distribution of the loot of the Shimen operation this time, the capture is so large, it must be handed over.

What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng's appetites were bigger than he thought.

Mr. Peng was quick to speak, and first proposed that all the artillery wings with artillery shells completely captured by the 38th Division should be handed over to the Central Military Commission, and a field artillery regiment directly under the Central Military Commission should be established for the defense of the Yellow River. He then proposed that a number of antiaircraft "shooting" guns and "anti-shooting" aircraft guns should be transferred from Shandong to form an air defense regiment directly under the Central Military Commission to be used in air defense operations at key points in Shaanxi. In addition, all the guns, ammunition, "medicine," flour, and rice seized at Shimen this time were handed over and used to replenish the main divisions in southern Hebei, central Hebei, and Shanxi.

Mr. Peng said very clearly that the weapons of the security division and the garrison division adapted from the Red Fifth Army and the Red Ninth Army are too old, and a considerable part of the infantry guns in the hands of the soldiers are home-made infantry guns, and some of them are not even rifled. How can such a martial arts weapon be optimistic about our hometown? No, no, if you don't update.

Mr. Peng asked Liu and Luo to hand over all the results of the Battle of Southwest Lu and the Battle of Shimen.

Shimen had the supply ammunition "medicine" of the four main divisions of the Japanese First Army and the Kwantung Army, and the capture was indeed huge, and the big ones made Liu, Luo, and Cai all excited. However, Liu Yimin fought, in order to reduce casualties, put the development of firepower in the first place, and the ammunition "medicine" consumed extremely much. In order to ensure that the ammunition "medicine" was replenished, when the instructors and instructors cleaned up the battlefield, they collected all their own bullet shells and the Japanese bullet shells, and brought them back to the logistics headquarters to exchange bullets and shells. To tell the truth, the Japanese army was frantically brooming and "swinging", and Shandong's arsenal could not produce it, not only because our army in Shanxi was in urgent need of ammunition "medicine" supplements, but also in various units of our army in Shandong was in urgent need of ammunition "medicine" supplements. Liu, Luo, and Cai discussed repeatedly along the way, and they had decided to hand over a part of it to the general department, but they didn't expect the CEOs to want all of them. Including the artillery of the captured 38th Field Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army, which was originally to be allocated to the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, due to the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression of Southwest Lu, the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade could only enter the tunnel, and the artillery was not easy to cover, plus it was necessary to hit the stone gate, and it was necessary to concentrate artillery fire, so Liu Yimin brought the 48 cannons. If this is handed over, the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade wants to equip the artillery regiment again, and I don't know when it will be.

After Mr. Peng finished speaking, Mr. Zhu and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo both looked at Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan with a look of hope.

The discipline of our army is to give credit to all captures, let alone the formation of artillery regiments and air defense regiments directly under the Central Military Commission.

Liu Yimin pondered for a while and replied that the 36 field guns and 12 mountain guns of the captured 38th Field Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army could be handed over in full, that there was no problem in transferring a regiment of anti-aircraft "shooting" guns and anti-aircraft "shooting" machine guns, and that the Japanese air defense weapons captured at Daguozhuang Airport could be equipped with a battalion. The Shandong Plain has a large area and well-developed transportation, which is convenient for the Japanese army's mechanized troops to move around, and the combat tasks are heavy, so all brigades must be equipped with high-altitude "shooting" guns, mainly used to deal with the small ghosts, and the "shooting" range is long and powerful, which can reduce casualties. As for the materials captured at Shimen, priority should be given to replenishing the battle damage. In particular, artillery shells, fuel, and ammunition for machine guns and ammunition must be given priority to supplementing the brigades attacking Shimen to ensure their combat effectiveness. The rest of the original plan was to supplement a part of the remaining troops in Shandong, and then hand them over, but now the remaining units in Shandong are not needed, and we will find our own way to hand them over. Food, ** should also be given priority to replenish the brigades attacking Shimen, and the rest should be handed over. As for the guns and money captured in the Shimen operation, not a single gun or penny was needed in Shandong, and all of them were handed over.

Shimen had the supply ammunition "medicine" of the four main divisions of the Japanese First Army and the Kwantung Army, and the capture was indeed huge, and the big ones made Liu, Luo, and Cai all excited. However, Liu Yimin fought, in order to reduce casualties, put the development of firepower in the first place, and the ammunition "medicine" consumed extremely much.

Liu Yimin pondered for a while and replied that the 36 field guns and 12 mountain guns of the captured 38th Field Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army could be handed over in full, that there was no problem in transferring a regiment of anti-aircraft "shooting" guns and anti-aircraft "shooting" machine guns, and that the Japanese air defense weapons captured at Daguozhuang Airport could be equipped with a battalion.

As for the guns and money captured in the Shimen operation, not a single gun or penny was needed in Shandong, and all of them were handed over.

Liu Yimin was telling the truth, and Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng also knew that Liu and Luo were far away from the base area, and they had difficulties in supplying "medicine", food, and **, so they agreed after a simple discussion. He also said that the 115th Division, the 129th Division, and the Duli Division had already sent troops to rush here to receive supplies, and they would all arrive tonight.

Luo Ronghuan's principle is strong, and he couldn't help laughing at this time, saying that where did the two bosses come to inspect the department, they are purely here to fight the autumn breeze.

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo also smiled and said: "Political Committee Luo, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry." I heard that you captured Tianjin, and Commander Liu ordered the soldiers to eat Goubuli buns and bread. The owner of the Shilin Western Restaurant also specially made 200 large portions of Western food and sent them to the division headquarters for the soldiers to taste. We are offended, in Shanxi, don't say that you don't care about eating dogs and buns, it's hard to eat all kinds of grains. The most pitiful is the 120th division of Jinsui, every day is sorghum, millet, yam "medicine" eggs, where can you see the shadow of white flour and rice! Therefore, as soon as they heard that you were attacking Shimen, the two bosses immediately ordered to notify each division to send troops to pull the spoils, and they also released a big word, saying that Commander Liu and Luo Zhengyan said that all the spoils of Shimen would be handed over to the general commander. You see, this stone gate city must be very lively at night. ”

Luo Ronghuan laughed: "I said that Mr. Peng has a serious face, it turns out that the big words have been blown out, I'm afraid I won't be able to cash it out!" ”

Mr. Peng smiled.

After laughing, Mr. Peng remembered another question: "By the way, the Japanese army can't attack Shimen in a day or two, so we have to hurry up and let the flour mill and ginning factory in Shimen produce at full capacity." They are private capital, and we can't confiscate them, but we can buy them with money, and we can buy them with the money seized in Shimen. Try to get more flour, cotton, and cloth to go back. Jiang Yujie Shi, an old man, only issued military uniforms to the main troops, and did not give any other troops, and we still have troops to wear single clothes! ”

Liu Yimin was puzzled and asked, "Boss, can't the Shaanxi base area guarantee the needs of the front-line troops?" We should not lack money, food and cotton. ”

Mr. Zhu sighed: "You may not know that northern Sichuan and Longnan have been in drought for two consecutive years, and the grains have not been harvested, and northern Shaanxi is also dry this year." Due to the stable situation in Shaanxi, there are many people from Henan, Shanxi, northern Sichuan, and Longnan who go to Shaanxi, and there are more people who eat. Moreover, in order to support the War of Resistance against the Jin Sui Army, the Wei Lihuang Department and the Yan Xishan Department had to be allowed to go to Shaanxi to buy grain. Including Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture in Ankang, he also asked Shaanxi for food. If you don't give them, you will immediately have disputes and contradictions, that is, you will not obey the political orders and military orders, and you will break the anti-Japanese unity and united front. This year's 800-mile Qinchuan was supposed to be a bumper harvest year, but the little ghosts were very ghostly, and when the wheat was harvested, planes were sent to drop burning bombs, resulting in a part of the wheat fields being burned. After a few calculations, you will know that there is no shortage of food. ”

Liu Yimin then remembered that it is different from the history of the calendar, in the history of the history, our party is only the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, and the 800-mile Qinchuan River is the largest rear, and Yan Xishan can cross the Yellow River to Shaanxi if he can't stand it. Now that the 800-mile Qinchuan River is in the hands of our army, Yan Xishan has no way to retreat, Shanxi is not a major grain-producing province in the first place, and the grain problem is indeed difficult to solve.

After talking about the distribution of the spoils, the next step was to discuss the question of where to transfer the main forces of Liu and Luo. Beiping and Tianjin can't go, and the westward march to Taiyuan will be blocked by the Japanese army at Niangziguan, and our army can only continue to expand its base area, how can it shrink? The main forces of Liu and Luo must quickly return to Shandong and restore their base areas. But how to return to Shandong is also a big problem. During the day, the Japanese planes were raging, and the troops could not move on a large scale, and now that they had received information from the southwestern part of Shandong, the Japanese army's heavy army group began to dispatch to southern Hebei last night, and the movement to western and southwestern Shandong would collide head-on with the little ghosts. It was impossible for the majority of the army to pass through the middle of the dense group formation of the Japanese army. There can only be two plans, one is to go east along the Deshi Road, hide in the northwest of Shandong, seize the opportunity to capture Luokou, cross the river from the Luokou Bridge, and return to Shandong; The other is to advance to Jizhong, seize the good opportunity for the Japanese army to retreat to Baoda Road, cross the railway to the Jilu border, and cross the river from the Jilu border to the Qinghe River. In this way, the road is a little farther.

After weighing it again and again, Liu Yimin chose to go to the Hebei and Shandong borders. The reason is very simple, we can think of the Luokou Bridge as convenient and fast, and the Japanese army can also think of it. After returning to Shandong through the Luokou Bridge, we could not shake off the pursuers behind the fart, and our army's actions were under the watchful eye of the Japanese army.

Liu Yimin didn't know that his decision made the carefully planned Tada Jun sad afterwards, because the trap carefully deployed by Tada Jun fell through. In fact, Tada Jun's trap itself is useless, and when his army reoccupies Shimen, the Eighth Route Army will start fighting in Qingdao, and the Fifth Division, the First Guards Division, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade that he transferred to Dexian County to set traps all have to go to Qingdao to catch up, where is there time to wait for Liu Yimin to jump the trap!

As for when the team will act, Mr. Zhu said very clearly, he will leave tonight, the sooner the better, let Chen Zaidao disguise the main force in Shimen to "confuse" and "confuse" the ghosts, and when the little ghosts pounce up, they can drill the tunnel, or they can enter Taihang Mountain.

In order to cooperate with Chen Zaidao to "confuse" the enemy, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng agreed that Liu Yimin would stay in Shimen and leave a few days later to further "confuse" and "confuse" the Japanese army. The main force led by Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong set off tonight, advanced to Jizhong, crossed the Jinpu Road before the Japanese army encircled, and joined the New Sixth Brigade in the Hebei-Lu border area, and waited in concealment.

After successfully breaking through after the capture of Tianjin and breaking through two operations after the landline was shot down, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng understood Liu Yimin's ability and knew that the little ghost could not trap him.

After the two questions were finalized, Mr. Zhu couldn't support it anymore, kept yawning, and had to sleep first.

I slept until it was almost dark. When a few chiefs woke up, all the cadres above the company level of each brigade had arrived and were waiting in line outside.

Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, accompanied by Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong, shook hands and met with cadres at and above the company level one by one.

After a brief observation, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan found that the company and battalion-level cadres of the instructor were different from those of other units of the Eighth Route Army, and the cadres were all carrying the August 1 automatic rifle, with binoculars hanging on their chests, and carrying 20 shell guns and leather bags cross-crossed on their bodies. If this kind of equipment is seen by the comrades of the guerrillas and county brigades, they will have to drool.

After the meeting, Mr. Zhu made a brief speech, in which he expressed his condolences to the Shandong troops and encouraged the cadres to keep in mind the glorious traditions of our army, to be both a combat team and a work team, and to obey orders and obey commands.

After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, it was a dinner, with a bowl of radish and cabbage, tofu vermicelli, and a bowl of rice for each person.

Mr. Peng was not at ease, so he went to eat with the soldiers of the guard regiment with a bowl, and saw that the meals were exactly the same, and there was meat in the soldiers' bowls, so he was relieved.

After eating, it was dark, and all the cadres returned to the department, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong accompanied the three leaders to review the team.

After the Red Seventh Army ended the Battle of Tianshui and the main force returned to Xi'an, a grand military parade was held. At that time, Mr. Peng led the Third Army Corps far away in northern Sichuan, and he had no chance to see the military appearance of Liu and Luo's troops. The same is true of the Deputy Chief of Staff of Zuo Quan. Tonight, it can be regarded as an eye-opener for the two of them.

The parade site was selected on a large area of wilderness in the east of Shimen City, and the soldiers of the Engineer Brigade pulled wires and set up a searchlight to illuminate the site.

Because the commander-in-chief was about to set off overnight after inspecting the rear detachment, the defense of the New Fourth Brigade and the New Eighth Brigade to the south and north had already been handed over to the southern Hebei brigade, and the defense to the west had been handed over to the headquarters of the independent division that had come with Commander-in-Chief Zhu. Waiting for review.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong rode horses to accompany Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo into the review site, Gao Yuan, the commander of the 1st Jiao Brigade who served as the commander-in-chief of the parade, greeted him on a horse, and reported loudly: "Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Chief of General Staff: Gao Yuan, commander of the 1st Jiao 1st Brigade of the Shandong Military District of the Eighth Route Army, reported to the chief commander that the team of the Shandong Military District of the Eighth Route Army has been lined up and is waiting for the chief commander to review. Please instruct! ”

Mr. Zhu looked at the queue that stretched for several miles, and waved his hand: "Start!" ”

Gao Yuan turned around and guided the chiefs to ride their horses and gall, and everywhere they went, there was a thunderous roar: "The first chief is good"!

After walking from the head of the platoon to the rear of the line, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, and Commanders Liu, Luo, and Cai Shouyu reined in their horses, stood still on the side of the road, and waited for the troops to pass through in turn.

Wang Laohu sat in the pocket of the motorcycle, followed by 50 captured Japanese three-wheeled motorcycles, each with three people, followed by two armored vehicles and 10 cars, and on the top of the cars were the fire support weapons and ammunition "medicine" of the First Special Warfare Squadron. When passing by the commander-in-chief, Wang Laohu gave a command, and all the soldiers on the motorcycles and cars saluted, except for the driver, and drove forward in the night under the gaze of the commander-in-chief.

When the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron was carrying out the task of destroying the Jinan Airport, all the vehicles were left behind in most of the squadron and moved with the baggage. Now all of these vehicles are back in the hands of the 1st Special Operations Squadron.

Liu Yimin said that this was the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron of the Special Operations Command, and they were the ones who took down the Daguozhuang Airport and destroyed the Jinan Airport. The warriors all speak Japanese and have access to all the weapons available on the battlefield. Their task was to open a gap on the Jinpu Road and open the way for the whole army to cross the Jinpu Road in a covert way.

After the 1st Special Operations Squadron, it was the 1st Li Buffalo Sniper Squadron that acted with the main force. The soldiers rode on horses, carrying sniper rifles on their backs, Bayi automatic rifles on their saddles, binoculars on their chests, and American-made high-powered pistols and dagger sets on their belts.

After seeing the armament of the cadres above the company level, and then looking at the equipment of this unit, Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff, knew that this was the legendary sniper team, and just wanted to ask, he heard Liu Yimin introduce it: "This is the first sniper squadron of the special operations command, using a sniper rifle with a silencer, it can quietly kill visual targets at a distance of 800 meters." ”

After the first squadron of snipers, the armored regiment drove up, and the heavy Tanyak battalion and the two light Tanyak battalions passed in front of the commander-in-chief in turn, and the commanders all "exposed" their bodies outside the turret and saluted the commander-in-chief. Behind Tanyak were the reconnaissance platoon, repair company, baggage battalion and engineer platoon of the armored regiment.

Behind the armored regiment was the heavy machine gun regiment of the heavy machine gun brigade, which was all in a car, followed by the 1st regiment, the 2nd regiment, and the 3rd regiment in armored vehicles and automobiles.

Behind the convoy was a new brigade and a new regiment on horseback. The war horses of the new regiment were originally taught by the regiment. Since the mechanization of the first regiment, all the war horses that were originally used as rapid mobility were handed over to the new regiment, but if they encountered mountain battles, the new regiment must also return the war horses to the regiment, which was a rule set by Liu Yimin himself, and the purpose was to ensure that the regiment could move quickly in any environment.

After these units, there were the recruit regiments, supplementary regiments, and other units of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Brigade, then the 2nd Brigade, the 4th Brigade, and the 8th Brigade, followed by the Artillery Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade, the Engineer Brigade, the Baggage Brigade, and finally the 6th Brigade Headquarters of the Brigade, which served as the rearguard.

It took two hours for such a large contingent of troops to pass in front of the commander-in-chief.

After the team was finished, Mr. Peng smacked his lips and said: "Compared with the Shandong team, the equipment of several divisions in Shanxi is far from the same. Liu Yimin, fight with the little ghost, you can fight any way. If you can't, the two of us will change, you will be my deputy commander-in-chief, and I will be the commander of the Shandong Military District! ”
