Chapter 840 Zeng and Cai return

Just when Liu Yimin was busy subduing Tang Xiuer and forming the "Japanese National Salvation Army", Tada Jun's cage policy was fully rolled out in North China. For a time, on the land of North China, the Japanese puppet army was running around, arresting Dinglav and issuing certificates of good citizenship, which caused a miasma.

With such a big movement, it is impossible for Liu Yimin not to know.

For others, Tada's cage policy is fresh and vicious, and difficult to deal with. But for Liu Yimin, there is nothing new, and he can think of it with his toes. Because there are too many studies and summaries on the cage policy in history, and there are too many descriptions and descriptions of the certificate of good citizens and the cage policy in movies, television, and books, the famous Hundred Regiments Battle that occurred during this period is a classic in the history of the Eighth Route Army, and it is also a must-study example in military academies.

Familiarity and understanding do not mean that you can sit back and relax, because Tada Jun's move is really vicious, and if you are not careful, it may really make the little devil greatly shrink the North China base area. You must know that the total strength of the Japanese army in North China is now much larger than in history, although there is a lack of permanent divisions, but there are more ants to bite elephants, not to mention that after such a long period of training, the soldiers of the garrison divisions and independent mixed brigades of the little devils have become veterans, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved? If Tada was determined to concentrate his forces on fighting in one direction, it would be really difficult to deal with.

If you follow normal thinking, you should break the road and stop the little devils from implementing the cage policy. But Liu Yimin didn't think so, the main firepower of the instructor was strong, and the equipment of the Eighth Route Army in history was not the same, and Liu Yimin consciously broke the Japanese army's cage policy It was not a problem. If the little devil wants to build railways and highways in North China, let them build them, and the more they build, the better, which is tantamount to building infrastructure for our army. However, if the little devils take another action like the raid on Jizhong and Jilubian, and then combine it with road construction and trenching, the base area will become a guerrilla zone. This must be guarded against.

However, this is only a strategic contempt for the enemy. If we really let the cage policy of the little devils be implemented smoothly, control all the railway lines and highway lines, and form a criss-crossing blockade line, it will be troublesome. At the very least, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to imagine such rapid and covert movements as in the past. As soon as you move here, the little devil will know it, and what are you talking about?

There is also the issue of the certificate of good citizenship, which must also be taken seriously, and the little devils cannot be allowed to isolate the common people from the local armed forces and cadres of the Eighth Route Army.

In Liu Yimin's view, the most fundamental way to break the Japanese army's cage policy is not to break the road, but to concentrate superior forces and superior firepower to eliminate the devil's living force. As for how to eliminate the devil's living force, there are many ways.

Liu Yimin drafted the "Instruction Telegram on Breaking the Japanese Army's Prison Policy," pointing out: "Recently, there have been high-level personnel changes in the Japanese army, and Tada Jun, the new commander of the North China Front, has adopted a new method of blockading and dividing the base areas behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army. In short, this method is a cage policy, which mainly includes two aspects: the implementation of a household registration management system and the distribution of good citizen certificates to the Japanese puppet occupied areas; With regard to the base areas, a blockade network was carried out with railways as pillars, highways as chains, and pillboxes as locks, in an attempt to gradually encroach on the base areas and trap them to death, and then sweep them one by one, clear them up in different areas, and completely destroy the base areas.

In view of the new combat methods of the Japanese army, the most urgent task at the moment is to do a good job in the following tasks: First, it is necessary to organize those white-skinned and red-hearted maintenance chairmen and security chiefs to issue certificates for the cadres of our county, districts, and villages, militia, and guerrillas, and to apply for certificates of good citizenship, so that they can operate in enemy-occupied areas and guerrilla areas relatively safely, and become the Monkey King who has penetrated into the belly of the princess of the iron fan. 2. Intensify the work of the puppet army, develop internal lines within the puppet army, and control the communication lines and key strongholds where the puppet army is stationed. Third, it is necessary to resolutely crack down on traitors, and for those hardcore traitors, all localities should organize capable armed work teams, select key combat cadres to participate, and carry out activities to hoe and rape, and when necessary, they can report to the division headquarters, and the division headquarters will send special combat teams to carry out the task of hoeing and raping. Fourth, extensively carry out mine warfare and tunnel warfare, and use tunnel warfare and mine warfare to counter the Japanese army's cage policy, defend the base areas, and consume the Japanese puppet army. Fifth, highly concentrate the main forces, look for fighters, and destroy the isolated and unprepared enemy. 6. Educate and arm the people in the base areas, properly implement a series of policies for the construction of the base areas of our party and our army, and build the base areas into impregnable walls. 7. Closely monitor the movements of the Japanese puppets and strictly prevent them from being raided by the Japanese puppet army. ”

Due to the early dispatch of the instructions, the relatively good countermeasures, and the existence of an underground network, Liu Yimin believed that Tada Jun's cage policy would not have much effect in the Shandong base area.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of good news, and Liu Yimin had just finished sending the "Instruction Telegram on Breaking the Japanese Army's Prison Policy" when he received a report from Chief of Staff Zeng and Director Cai that they had returned.

Since the division of troops in the Taixi Campaign, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong have moved to the Hebei-Lubian and northwestern Shandong, and Liu Yimin has gone south to the Suzhou-Anhui border area, and the old war friends have not seen each other for a long time. Cai Zhong, who is particularly inseparable, has been separated for such a long time, which is the first time that Liu Yimin has joined the Red Army after crossing over. Therefore, after receiving the report, Liu Yimin couldn't do anything, so he pulled Luo Ronghuan out of the big store on horseback, and he wanted to go out of twenty miles and personally pick up Zeng and Cai to return to the division headquarters.

In late September, the land of Shandong has entered the autumn harvest season. In the evening, the fields and yards are full of busy people.

Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan rode on horses, their noses wafted the fragrance of millet, sorghum, and corn, and their ears heard the sound of farmers shouting for livestock and calling for their children.

Liu Yimin was a little intoxicated, and with the shaking of the war horse, he sang loudly: "In September, the Ninth Double Yang, hey, the autumn harvest is busy, which millet is it, hey, the harvest is on the field." The sun of the red Gedandan, hey, warm, warm. The new millet full of people in the audience is snorting and smelling. The new millet is on the field, and the price is thin. Hurry up and pave that one to play, hey, come on, come on. Look at the ears of grain, how long they are. Compared to previous years, hey, it's really strong."

Luo Ronghuan knew that Liu Yimin had come out of the haze of Jingjing's sacrifice, and it was estimated that the plan for the next battle had also taken shape, and the little devil would have to wait for bad luck again. Looking at Liu Yimin's deeply intoxicated appearance, Luo Ronghuan also felt a strong sense of pride in his heart. Yes, if there is no powerful instructor, the common people of central and southern Lu don't know how to suffer, where will there be such a beautiful autumn harvest in front of them

After Liu Yimin finished singing, his mood became more and more cheerful, and he looked up to the sky and roared, as if he wanted to spit out all the stuffiness in his heart for so long.

Luo Ronghuan was touched by Liu Yimin's long howl, and even recited Yue Fei's Manjianghong in a subdued tone on the war horse, and the thick southern Hunan accent was accompanied by Liu Yimin's agitated and clear howl, as if he was cooperating with the performance.

The sound of horses' hooves galloping was heard in the distance, and Li Zongrui, the head of the guard regiment, raised his binoculars to take a look, and hurriedly rode his horse to Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, and reported: "Division commander, political commissar: Chief of Staff Zeng, Director Cai, they have arrived."

After Liu Yimin roared, he was full of joy, listened to Li Zongrui's report, shouted "drive", clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and walked forward.

Liu Yimin's howling sound was so long and agitated, it had already alarmed Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong, who were rushing here, and the two of them didn't expect the division commander and political commissar to be able to meet so far, and they were excited to beat the horse fast, and they were also welcoming Liu and Luo.

When they were only 200 meters away, Liu Yimin shouted loudly on his horse; "Lao Cai, Chief of Staff, I and the political commissar have picked you up."

The speed of the cavalry was fast, Liu Yimin shouted, and did not rein in the reins, the war horse kept rushing forward, until it was less than 10 meters away from Cai Zhong and them, Liu Yimin pulled the reins of the horse hard, and the war horse screamed, and the hooves stood upright. At this moment, Liu Yimin took off the reins of the horse, took off into the air, and rushed straight to Cai Zhong's war horse, picked Cai Zhong up from the horse, spun in the air, laughed and fell to the ground.

When he fell to the ground, Liu Yimin put down Cai Zhong and said, "Lao Cai, you are back."

Cai Zhong directly punched Liu Yimin in the chest: "I finally saw you again, but I want to kill my old Cai." ”

After a while, Luo Ronghuan and Zeng Zhongsheng also jumped off their horses and hugged each other.

Cai Zhong smiled: "Division commander, political commissar, you two are too enthusiastic, right?" Chief of Staff and I can't afford it a little too much. Say, isn't it that the two of us are not here, and you two are too tired to think of the two of us working? ”

Luo Ronghuan was very happy, some time ago he sat alone in the division headquarters, and it was dark and busy. Now that my comrades-in-arms are finally reunited and they are all back, can you not be happy?

Luo Ronghuan smiled and said that Lao Cai is bad at learning and is not kind, even if he doesn't want us, don't he want Ren Ying and his daughter? Don't get cheap and sell well, and say that you are so pitiful, as if you are really a coolie.

A few people were very affectionate, talking and laughing, and they simply stopped riding horses, just walked and chatted on the road, talking about the scene after parting. When it was a hot talk, he simply sat down on the side of the road, smoked a cigarette, and started talking.

Zeng Zhongsheng talked about the danger of blocking the northern front of the Taixi Campaign: "Division commander, political commissar, don't you know that when the little devil launched an attack, he was really not afraid of death. The firepower is strong, and the coordination is good. In particular, the devil's artillery is like having eyes, and they are accurate one by one. If our army had not preset its position in advance, it would not have been able to stop the offensive of the first and second divisions at all. That time, Feng Dafei and the others made a great contribution. If the division commander hadn't decisively ordered the reinforcements of the first aviation brigade, the Luxi Garrison Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade would not have been dumplings by the little devils. I tell you, I had the heart to apologize for suicide at that time. Lao Cai's mouth was also blistering in a hurry, the two of us really felt that the sin was unforgivable."

Liu Yimin said: "Then I don't blame you, blame me for being careless, just thinking that the little devil will be frightened by the main force of our army, but I didn't expect the devil to use the first division and the second division, the two elite divisions of the elite to attack in a roundabout way, where can the two legs of the soldiers run past the little devil's tank and car, and then they can no longer underestimate the enemy's carelessness, if the permanent division of the little devil deploys its troops, it is indeed very strong in combat." ”

Cai Zhong talked about his inspection of Jizhong, focusing on the situation of Jizhong's supervision, and the mood of several people was a little heavy.

Luo Ronghuan didn't want everyone's mood to deteriorate, so he talked twice about the situation of Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie, and told him about the situation of Shen Honglie and Yu Xuezhong's struggle for power. Zeng Zhongsheng said that the relations within the Kuomintang were complicated, especially in the Sulu Theater and the Jicha Theater, as if the various units did not belong to each other. The current situation is a little wrong, Shi Yousan hooks up with the devil, and is likely to attack our army.

Liu Yimin was already in a good mood at this time, and after listening to Zeng Zhongsheng's words, he said: "Shi Yousan is not a good thing, let's plan well, as long as he dares to move, we will completely solve him." ”

Then, Liu Yimin talked about meeting Peng Xuefeng, Zhang Aiping, Ye Ting, Chen Yi, and Liu Shaoqi in the Suzhou-Anhui region, and also talked about the transfer of the New Third Brigade and the New Seventh Brigade to the command of Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yi. After speaking, I don't know what was going on, Liu Yimin told the story of the half-town defense battle, saying that Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, and Huang Wei went to the lake to play, attracting bandits to peep, and finally developed into a classic half-town defense battle, which solved the problem of bandits in Hongze Lake in one fell swoop.

The relationship between Cai Zhong and Liu Yimin is extraordinary, from the inadvertent tremor when Liu Yimin said Jingjing's name, he knew that Jingjing's sacrifice had deeply stimulated Liu Yimin.

Reaching out and taking out a cigarette and a match from Liu Yimin's pocket, he lit another one for each person, and smoked one himself, Cai Zhong said: "Our army dealt a backhand blow to the enemy on Longhai Road, completely crippling the 114th Division. The newspapers and radio stations of the Japanese army could no longer hide the truth of the defeat, and even said that the division commander was angry at the crown and launched the Longhai Road attack in order to avenge Jingjing. I don't think that's entirely nonsense. If you are a person, you have to be affectionate and righteous. If Jingjing sacrifices, and the division commander doesn't even let out a fart, that's Jingjing's sorrow I thought about it seriously during this time, the little devil can't be eliminated for a while, but we have to fight so that they don't dare to provoke us, so that they can understand what kind of team the instructor is, that is revenge, revenge, and revenge immediately. If we dare to raid and pursue our army, there is only one result, that is, to be wiped out, so as to ensure that our base areas have a production and living environment. Otherwise, it would not be possible to feed such a large force. ”

Zeng Zhongsheng continued: "Director Cai is right, this is the truth, you can't let the little devils do the same as before, and they can raid when they want to organize a raid by a heavy army group." Looking at the border areas of Hebei and central Hebei, they have completely become guerrilla zones, the common people have suffered heavy losses, and the troops have also suffered great difficulties. At this meeting, we must study and study this issue carefully. ”

It wasn't until Li Zongrui came to urge him to set off that a few people found that it was already dark and the lights were already lit up in the village.

Liu Yimin stood up and said, "Lao Cai, chief of staff, it's good for you to come back." We will hold a meeting of the Shandong Bureau tomorrow. After the meeting, the big war will begin. Let's go back and plan well, this time, we have to make the little devil vomit blood."

After speaking, Liu Yimin took the reins and torches in Li Zongrui's hand, turned over on the horse, shouted "drive", and took the lead in galloping towards the big store in the night.

Dear book friends: the Year of the Dragon is auspicious, the Year of the Dragon is auspicious, the Year of the Dragon is rich, lucky, joyful, and auspicious. Thank you
