On this snowy morning, the air was so fresh, as if it had been washed by a mountain spring. When Liu Yimin walked into the office, his heart was as ethereal and vivid as the air on this snowy morning.

Little Bie is better than a newlywed!

After a night's frustration, Liu Yimin's depression caused by the death of Zeng Zhongsheng, the tragic destruction of the base area, and the excessive casualties of the troops left behind in the base area were all melted by Tang Xingying's tenderness. In its place, there is total joy, joy and vigor.

When he entered the office and sat on the chair, Liu Yimin still had Tang Xingying's shy demeanor in his mind, and his ears were still like the willow flute, sometimes tactful, sometimes agitated, and sometimes crying. Liu Yimin felt strange in his heart, Tang Xingying was already a mother of two children, how could she still be like a pool of spring water, how delicate and delicate, how soft and soft, how obedient and how obedient, the snow-white is still as full and firm as when she was newly married, her small waist is still so soft, her skin is still white and delicate, and even the mysterious flower room is still so tight, making herself beautiful, it is really like Ruan Zhao going to the rooftop. Alas, a beauty is a beauty, everything is beautiful, and God treats himself well.

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong have already started working. As soon as they saw Liu Yimin walking into the office with a spring breeze on his face, the two of them followed in.

They all live in the courtyard of the military region, and the sound insulation of the house in this era is not good, what Liu Yimin did last night, he can't hide it. It's just that Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying turned out to be husband and wife, although they are divorced, everyone knows the reasons for the divorce, and they are very sympathetic to Tang Xingying's mother and son, and no one has anything to say. At the very least, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong won't say anything now, if they know, they just don't know. Besides, this time is different from after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and many women divorce without leaving home. Liu Yimin is so unconscious, what can Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong do with him?

Seeing Liu Yimin's happy face and as if he hadn't woken up from his dream, Luo Ronghuan coughed and said Wu Zheng and Yang Zhicheng, Zeng Zhao, Bill? Clemen is coming to report to the commander about the logistics base, there may be good news, and Wu Zheng's voice on the phone is very excited.

Liu Yimin woke up, his face was unnaturally slightly red, and said: "There should also be good news, it's been so long, if there is no good news, I have to go to the logistics headquarters to work." ”

Luo Ronghuan continued: "There is another thing that I have been pondering for so long, that is, whether the leading bodies of the second-level military regions and prefectures that we originally divided should be adjusted. Originally, the secretaries and commissioners of all districts had brigade commanders and political commissars of the main force concurrently serving as them, but now it seems that there are drawbacks and they are not suited to the situation of struggle. The reason is that the main force has heavy combat tasks and is often far away from the base areas, and it is often unable to take into account the leadership of the construction of the base areas. ”

This problem has been around for a long time and should have been solved a long time ago. The main reason for the delay is that Liu Yimin has been thinking about how to turn the main force into a field corps. Now that Luo Ronghuan has raised this issue, it shows that everyone has clearly seen the importance of this issue, and it is time to solve it.

Liu Yimin simply invited Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong to sit down, called the guards to pour water, and was ready to discuss this issue.

The guards came in and poured water, but it was none other than Li Xiaoshuai, the commander of the first guard battalion who was seriously injured and hospitalized. Liu Yimin was so happy that he stood up all of a sudden, and his voice trembled: "Xiaoshuai, are you all right?" ”

Li Xiaoshuai reported loudly: "Report Commander: Li Xiaoshuai, commander of the First Guard Battalion of the Guard Regiment of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, reports to you that I have recovered from my injuries and returned to the team to perform my duties!" Please instruct! ”

Liu Yimin stepped in front of Li Xiaoshuai in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xiaoshuai's shoulder, looked up and down carefully, patted it again, and then said happily: "Okay, our hero has finally returned from injury, and we have to celebrate." In this way, the comrades of the logistics headquarters will come in a while, Xiaoshuai, you go and tell Sister Tang, just say what I said, let her prepare two tables of meals, and I will treat you at noon and have a meal with the comrades. ”

Li Xiaoshuai touched his feet, saluted, said "yes", and walked out.

Cai Zhong said: "Don't be poor and generous, Tang Xingying doesn't know if you have money, don't eat the bottom." Just like this, don't make it so complicated, just let the guy add a dish, you take out your Moutai wine, and let everyone drink a good wine. ”

Liu Yimin said suspiciously: "Moutai? Didn't you drink it a long time ago? It doesn't seem to be available this year? ”

Cai Zhong smiled and said, "You don't know." The shopkeeper of Moutai is really credible, and this year's wine was sent to Xi'an. The old rule, 200 pounds. Comrade Chen Yun left 180 catties and distributed them to the leaders. It's still 20 pounds for you, so let the cadres take it. This time, we passed by Jizhong and brought back the cadres, and the wine was also brought back. Xu Shiyou took four catties, saying that you promised to give him 2 catties when you were in northern Jiangsu, and the other 2 catties he wanted to bring to Chen Shiqu in southwest Lu, saying that Lao Chen privately told him that the commander was biased and only gave Brigade Commander Xu wine, isn't he Chen Shiqu the brigade commander? I think this is all the wine worm in Xu Shiyou's stomach calling, eighty percent of them reported to his stomach, Chen Shiqu may not even smell the smell of wine. ”

All three laughed.

After laughing, Liu Yimin said: "If there is these good wines, I don't think it's as good as this, don't add vegetables at noon, add vegetables at night, add two more, call Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu, and let them bring their daughters-in-law too." Both of them are married, and we haven't congratulated them seriously yet. Let's have a drink and congratulate the bar! In addition, notify several brigade commanders nearby that they can come and let them come, there is not much Moutai wine, and it will be drunk at one time, so that everyone will not be worried. ”

Cai Zhong asked: "What about the regiment commanders and political commissars?" Everyone likes good wine, even if you don't have enough alcohol, you want to taste it. ”

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to answer, Luo Ronghuan said: "Let everyone come, let everyone come nearby, and let some battalion commanders and instructors come if they can." Everyone felt uncomfortable for a while, so drink some wine, sweep away all the sorrows, and go into battle lightly. ”

Cai Zhong looked at Liu Yimin with a look of hope, and Liu Yimin smiled: "Follow the orders of the political commissar." Nothing can be done on a snowy day, so a bonfire is lit in the headquarters courtyard at night, and everyone has a good drink. If Moutai is not enough, use the sesame fragrance of our Jingzhi Town, which is also a first-class good wine. When the time comes, let Xiaoman sing a song and dance to everyone to boost morale. The whole army of the province could not get out of the shadow of the martyrdom of the chief of staff. ”

Cai Zhong smiled and turned his head to leave, but Liu Yimin stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let's discuss what the political commissar said just now." ”

Cai Zhong turned around and sat down, and Liu Yimin said: "The problem that the political commissar said just now is indeed a problem. At that time, when we marched eastward into Shandong, the reason why we decided that way was because the party's strength in Shandong was too weak, and we had to rely on the main force to open up the situation, establish political power, and arm the army. Now the situation has changed, political power has basically been established in various regions, and the main focus of the heads of the main forces is on military struggles, and it is difficult to take care of them, and if no measures are taken, their work will be affected. The last time this matter was gathered in Pingyi, the three of us discussed it, but the conditions did not allow it at that time, and the discussion was only about Lunan issues, and the discussion was not resolved. There is also a problem, that is, the leadership groups of our main brigades are not sound, and the eight main brigades and the newly organized brigades, including some garrison brigades, either lack political commissars or chiefs of staff, directors of political departments, chief of logistics, and ministers of security. Now that we have time for the time being, we have to discuss it well, come up with a plan, go to a joint meeting of the Shandong Bureau, the Military Region, and the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate to pass it and report it to the Central Committee. Political commissar, do you have a clear idea, let's talk about it first. ”

Luo Ronghuan is a thoughtful person, his will is harder than steel, and he never thinks about problems. The last time Liu Yimin proposed the administrative division of Lunan in Pingyi, it was a bit sudden, he hadn't thought about it yet, and it was indeed a big war at that time, so it was too late to do these things. During this time, he repeatedly thought about why Liu Yimin raised the issue of changing the division of Lunan Province, and after thinking about it a lot, he had relatively mature ideas on many issues.

In Luo Ronghuan's heart, between him and Liu Yimin, it is okay to change lives, not to mention anything else. Moreover, Liu Yimin is open-minded, and he and the political commissar are heart-to-heart, and there is nothing to hide between the two people.

Luo Ronghuan said: "Now it seems that the main force must be highly concentrated in order to give full play to the advantages of our army in concentrating forces to fight a war of annihilation. We might as well do this and prevent the chiefs of the main brigades from concurrently serving as secretaries and commissioners of the special regions, and the military command and the leadership of the local political power should be separated, with the main force being in charge of fighting wars and the local leaders being in charge of building local political power and the local armed forces. Commander, what do you think? ”

When Liu Yimin heard this, he really saw the same thing as the hero, so he said: "This is the way of thinking, the military and the government are separated." The main force was regularized, the field corps was turned into a field corps, and it undertook offensive and combat missions; Local party committees and governments are responsible for rear construction, the development of local armed forces, and the provision of logistical support. That is, the main brigades are no longer military districts. For example, in the southeast of Shandong, the southeast Lu detachment should be incorporated into the main force sequence, and a separate army subdivision in the southeast of Shandong should be established, with a garrison brigade under the military subdivision, an armed forces department in each county, and a county brigade expanded into a garrison regiment, which will be responsible for undertaking tasks such as local garrison, militia training, and conscription. What about the main force? Chiang Kai-shek had already abolished the number of instructors, and we simply expanded the army, relying on our existing main brigades, newly organized brigades, garrison brigades, and detachments, and organizing eight to 12 divisions in one go according to the sequence of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, forming three to four field corps. I thought about it, the method adopted by the Japanese army now is to besiege us with heavy groups, so that they can implement the cage policy and divide their forces to sweep our other base areas. Since this is the case, we must also change our tactics, ostensibly show that the enemy is weak, fight more small-scale ambush warfare and guerrilla warfare, extensively carry out cold-gun and cold-run campaigns, immerse ourselves in building the main force, and carry out large-scale military training activities throughout Shandong, so that the little devils will think that our army has suffered heavy losses, so that they can confidently and boldly carry out their strategy of dividing up the world. When the Japanese army moved south to attack Britain and the United States and start a war with the United States, we immediately launched a large-scale counterattack, first liberating the whole of Shandong, and then fighting a decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China and recovering the northeast. ”

Liu Yimin began to talk as he spoke, and Cai Zhong hurriedly reminded: "Commander, you want to expand the army again, right?" It would take so many guns and so many soldiers? ”

Liu Yimin interrupted Cai Zhong with a wave of his hand: "Soldiers are not a problem, and weapons are not a problem. What we need is the time and environment for training and reorganizing the army. Do you think, not including the Jilu Border Garrison Brigade that Fu Zhuting is forming on the Jilu Border and the Lunan Garrison Brigade that has been formed for a relatively short time, we now have eight main brigades, eight new brigades, three brigade-level detachments, and eight garrison brigades, and even if the New Third Brigade, the New Seventh Brigade, and the Northern Jiangsu Detachment do not return to Shandong, then we still have eight main brigades, six newly formed brigades, three brigade-level detachments, and eight garrison brigades, for a total of 25 infantry brigades. Moreover, our main brigades all have supplementary regiments and new regiments, which are equivalent to five infantry regiments in one brigade, and the strength is already quite large. The strength of each regiment of the main regiment of several first-class main brigades is more than 3,000 people, so we still take the line of elite troops and limit the expansion of the main force, otherwise, it is very likely that a regiment can pull 6 or 7,000 people. The problem now is that the devils have been relying on lines of communication to divide our army, forcing our army to divide its forces and fight and hold on to and develop the base areas, resulting in the inability of our army's main forces to be highly concentrated. When I say that the existing strength will be expanded by eight to 12 divisions, I am not talking empty words or big words, nor is it a castle in the air and painting cakes to satisfy hunger, but there is no problem at all. According to Shandong's population and the quality of its soldiers, we will have no problem doubling the size of our troops. Think about it, once our army completes the training of the whole army, is there still a place for little devils in Shandong to gain a foothold? ”

What Liu Yimin said is indeed in line with the reality of our army in Shandong, and Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong think that this is the case.

Cai Zhong raised the question of whether the formation of a regular army of so many division-level units at once would leave Chiang Kai-shek with an excuse to attack our party and let him launch it again.

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "If we don't expand the army, won't Chiang Kai-shek launch it?" Strength determines everything, and our strength has grown, and Chiang Kai-shek has to carefully weigh it even if he wants to launch it. Only when our strength has grown, will he not dare to wantonly attack our army. Besides, when we win the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we and Chiang Kai-shek will have to compete for the future of China in the future, and we will have to speak through the battlefield. ”

Cai Zhong couldn't wait to expand the army, and the questions he asked were actually for Liu Yimin to tell Luo Ronghuan. Because the last time Liu Yimin proposed a large-scale expansion of the army in Jinan, Luo Ronghuan proposed amendments, and in Pingyi, Liu Yimin proposed to adjust the adjustment of the southern Lunan division, and Luo Ronghuan put forward different opinions. Therefore, Cai Zhong, who was hot in his heart, was afraid that Luo Ronghuan would disagree again, so he deliberately asked Liu Yimin to answer.

And Luo Ronghuan also hopes that our army will develop and grow and defeat the little devil as soon as possible! It's just that he's a little older and thinks more holistically. Practice has proved that after Luo Ronghuan's suggestion, Liu Yimin's idea of expanding the number of eight newly organized brigades on the basis of the supplementary regiments and new regiments of the main brigades is correct; the constituent units of these newly formed brigades were originally old units, and after they were formed, their combat effectiveness was guaranteed, and after actual combat tests, they were much stronger than the combat effectiveness of the garrison brigades.

Cai Zhong's worries are unnecessary.

In fact, Liu Yimin's thinking has been very contradictory since he entered Shandong, and for a time he also envisioned a large-scale development of troops and relying on the strength of the Chinese to defeat the Japanese invaders. However, the strength of the Japanese army is indeed very strong, and a heavy army group can encircle and suppress the Shandong base area. Based on the existing balance of forces, as far as our army in Shandong is concerned, it is very likely that it will soon be able to achieve a partial victory in the Shandong battlefield, but our army has to pay a heavy price for every retaliation of the Japanese army and navy. No, Liu Yimin adjusted his thinking, wanting to once again keep his head in obscurity, bury his head in development, wait for the little devils to go south to attack Southeast Asia, fight with the Americans, and then launch a full-scale counteroffensive, so that the United States' naval and air forces can defeat the main force of the Japanese army.

This idea cannot be wrong, and it is also relatively realistic in this day and age. Because although the Japanese army invaded China with limited troops, they had a complete war mobilization system and could expand their troops anytime and anywhere. If Liu Yimin's side blindly attacked and let the Japanese army abandon the southward strategy and concentrate on fighting the Eighth Route Army, the losses would be immeasurable.

This is Liu Yimin's own idea, and how the future battlefield trend develops, it is not completely subject to his will. The United States has already suspended the Japan-US treaty of commerce and navigation, so what if I can't hold on to it and attack Pearl Harbor in advance in order to get resources? What if the Japanese army took advantage of Germany's blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union and desperately went north to attack the Soviet Far East? What if I'm confined to the strength of China's anti-Japanese forces and stop attacking the United States? These things are possible now, because the squadron is now much stronger and better than it was in history, and the Japanese casualties are much more heavy than in history.

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan did not hesitate at all this time, and directly said that he could first rely on the eight main brigades, six newly organized brigades, and the existing garrison brigades and detachments with strong combat effectiveness to expand the organization of eight to nine divisions, which would be called the First and Second Divisions of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. The commanders of each brigade form a division command group, which is based on the main force regiment of the existing main brigade and integrates the regiments of the newly organized brigades, garrison brigades, and detachments to form a brigade. Carry out large-scale military training and large-scale grievance activities. At present, the various units in central and southern Shandong should be reorganized first, and they can be put into training immediately. The first batch of troops will be reorganized for three months, and after three months, they will be pulled out to take over the combat tasks of troops in other regions, and other units will be sent back for reorganization. In this way, within one year, the main force of our army in Shandong will be able to be reborn and its combat effectiveness will be raised to all levels. Next year, we will be able to concentrate our main forces on a big war.

After Luo Ronghuan finished speaking, Liu Yimin smiled and directly told Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong to discuss with Tan Zheng and Guo Hongtao and get a specific reorganization plan.

Ladies and gentlemen: tickets, tickets, looking forward to it, looking forward to it! wW
