The regular army under the command of the Shandong Military Region includes eight teaching brigades, eight newly formed brigades, three detachments,

Ten garrison brigades, of which the new third brigade, the new seventh brigade and the northern Jiangsu detachment remained in the Suzhou-Anhui area to return to the **,

Under the command of Chen Yi, the newly formed Lunan Garrison Brigade belongs to the newly formed troops, and its combat effectiveness is a large part of the difference, so it cannot be used as a regular army for the time being. In this way, Shandong's main force also has eight teaching brigades, six newly organized brigades, two detachments, nine garrison brigades, plus artillery brigades directly under the military region, and other units, with a total strength of 300,000 troops. The troops that participated in the attack on Shimen accounted for only about one-third of the total troops, which had already shocked the two bosses.

After Mr. Peng sighed, Mr. Zhu pondered for a while, and said to Liu Yimin: "If the Japanese army does not have sea and air superiority, and our army has enough ammunition and 'medicine', the little devil is not our opponent. ，”

What Mr. Zhu said is reasonable, but the problem is that the Japanese army's naval and air superiority exists objectively, and it cannot be assumed that there is none. The production of ammunition and ammunition in our army is intermittent, and the supply cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of our army's various units is also uneven, even among the eight teaching brigades, the combat effectiveness is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Liu Yimin explained these truths for a while, and then said: "Two bosses, we can't be hot-headed as soon as we parade. In the offensive and defensive battle of the position, which did not have any tricks, not to mention our concentrated artillery fire, and also to put aside the superiority of the Japanese army in sea and air, in the case of one-to-one troops, against the permanent divisions of the Japanese army, our army in Shandong was only able to barely reach a draw with the Japanese army because of its certain armored strength. If you encounter the 2nd Division, the 5th Division,

The four armies, the Guards Division and the Sixth Division, may not even be the opponent of the Japanese army in the offensive and defensive battle of the position with one-to-one strength. As for our army's newly formed brigades, garrison brigades, and Tai'an detachment and Taixi detachment, under the current circumstances, when encountering the Japanese army's permanent divisions and regiments, they can only retreat under the condition of equal strength. It was the garrison division of the Japanese army, and after being tempered on the battlefield, its combat effectiveness and equipment came up. Under the same troop strength, our garrison brigade, newly formed brigade, and detachment are no match for the Japanese army.

Add to this the air superiority of the Japanese army, and the problem is even more serious. What is particularly noteworthy is that our army in Shandong has always paid attention to maintaining the combat effectiveness of the main force, and the regimental, battalion, and company cadres of the First Regiment of the Xiangjiao Regiment were already regimental, battalion, and company cadres when they were organized into the Red Seventh Army Corps, and they still are. If we fight hard with the Japanese army and fight the main force out, then we will lose all our old capital. This point, please be clear to the two bosses, you can't just see our artillery brigade and armored regiment and think that we can defeat the Japanese army now. It is our armored regiment, which also relied on the capture of the Japanese army, without accessories, and if it is broken, there will be one less, and it cannot be compared with the Japanese army. ，”

The reason why Liu Yimin said so much was because he knew that Mr. Peng was always a fierce general, and he was afraid that Mr. Peng's self-confidence would swell after reviewing the troops, and he would force him to fight hard with the Japanese army, which would be bad! In fact, he knew in his heart that if there was no air superiority of the Japanese army, the eight teaching brigades of our army in Shandong would be able to fight with the Japanese army, except for the mechanized divisions of the Japanese army, of course.

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan agreed with Liu Yimin's viewpoint and said: "Blindly expanding the troops also has drawbacks, and it is easy to dilute the combat effectiveness of the main force. When we first entered the battlefield of resistance against Japan, there were many backbone Red Army cadres in all units of our army and their combat effectiveness was strong. This is the case in Shanxi now, and although the troops have expanded on a large scale, their combat effectiveness has declined. Not a single regiment, or even a brigade, could attack a position held by a single Japanese brigade.

It's unimaginable! ，”

Mr. Zhu turned to Liu Yimin: "What advice do you have?" ，”

"Carry out the whole army's campaign to complain about grievances, and carry out the army's large-scale military training campaign. Liu Yimin's eyes sparkled in the dark night.

The campaign to complain about grievances is the only way for our army to enhance its cohesion and combat effectiveness. As early as the Red Army, Cai Zhong and Luo Ronghuan had already reported the practice of the Red Seventh Army Corps to the General Political Department, and the General Political Department also forwarded it. However, as far as Liu Yimin knows, some units did not do it, and some units did it but did not adhere to it well.

Mr. Zhu confessed: "You and Zuo Quan communicate together, and come up with a plan.

Including Shandong's method of expanding our army, we will form materials and report them to the central authorities, and this time we will make great efforts to improve the combat effectiveness of our troops. ，”

After a few people finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were about to leave, and the guard regiment and the military region headquarters had already come up.

Mr. Zhu took Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong's hands and said, "Comrade Rong Huan, Comrade Cai Zhong, Commander Liu is two days late, you have to take the team well." In the event of an interception by the Japanese army, it is necessary to concentrate artillery fire, rush and attack, and be sure to stand out so as not to cause heavy losses. ，．

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong saluted solemnly and reported that the commander-in-chief should rest assured and guarantee the completion of the task.

Liu Yimin told Luo Ronghuan that there is a distance of nearly 240 kilometers from Shimen to Botou Town, and it takes about ten hours for a car to march at night, 16 hours for cavalry, and 20 small cars for rubber cars.

, the infantry will be slow, and it will take more than two days to march day and night. Therefore, it is necessary to make arrangements so that after arriving at the camp tonight, the cars, mules, horses, and carts will return to pick up the infantry and speed up the transportation of troops. The cavalry brigade will cross the Jinpu Road tonight, and tomorrow night, the 1st Brigade will be taught.

The artillery brigade, air defense brigade, and radiant brigade must pass through the Jinpu Road, and other units must pass through the Jinpu Road at the latest at night and at the latest, and teach the Sixth Brigade to serve as the rear guard of the whole army. If it was too late, the main force of the Japanese army might have rushed back from southwest Luxi to block the Jinpu Road.

Luo Ronghuan asked, "When will the commander meet us?" ，．

Liu Yimin thought for a while and said, "It may take a little longer. Just cross the river to the Qinghe area, and I will meet you in the Qinghe area.

As soon as Luo Ronghuan heard it, he knew that Liu Yimin wanted to take a risk again, so he directly pushed back: "No! The army cannot be without a commander for a day, I will wait for you on the Jilu side. I can't wait for you to go to the river! ，．

Liu Yimin smiled: "You are the political commissar, you are the boss in my absence, and you have the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot." I want to watch the little devils enter the stone gate, and I have to watch them go to save Qingdao in a hurry, and they don't count if they don't die. You just have to go, Fu Zhuting and Hu Laohu, who passed by in advance, will take over the main force. Maybe, I'll stand by the Yellow River and wait for you! ，”

Cai Zhong immediately received: "I can see at a glance what you are thinking. If you dare to venture again, I will apologize for your sin. I am the director of the Political Department, responsible for the discipline of the troops, and in the end I can't even complete the task of supervising your enforcement of military discipline, so what use does the Eighth Route Army want me? ，”

Seeing that Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were so serious, Mr. Peng immediately realized that Liu Yimin was likely to have itchy hands again, and wanted to practice alone with the little devil, and stayed in Shimen for a few days to be strong and left, so he immediately said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, you can't stop for a long time in Shimen. You have to leave the night after tomorrow at the latest, and you must catch up with the troops. Otherwise, it will be dealt with as disobedience to military orders. ，．

Mr. Peng's statement that he would leave the night after tomorrow and catch up with the troops was the result of everyone's discussion. From Shimen to Jinpu Road between Cangxian and Nanpi, the distance is nearly 500 miles, and it can be reached in 10 hours by car or motorcycle. The Japanese puppet army in this area has now retreated to Baoda Road, and our army in Jizhong can protect it along the way.

Liu Yimin really thought of the troubled waters in the middle of the Japanese army's heavy army group, and the lesson was small.

Devil. Let Luo Ronghuan's agitation attract Mr. Peng's strict order, Liu Yimin had no choice but to smile bitterly and say to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong: "I have convinced you two!" ，．

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong shook hands with Liu Yimin happily and said goodbye.

Tang Xingying patted her horse and came to Liu Yimin, jumped off the horse, straightened Liu Yimin's clothes, and explained in a low voice: "Think about the troops, think about the children, don't take risks." ，．

Liu Yimin nodded, hugged Tang Xingying, looked at each other, and for a moment, gently picked her up and put her on the war horse.

This is in front of the commander-in-chief, Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying have long been divorced, he is too bold to do this!

Tang Xingying obviously felt the burning sensation that suddenly erupted when Liu Yimin hugged her, and her face turned red. Fortunately, it was night, and no one noticed the blush on the beautiful Tang Xingying's face when the searchlights and torches were turned on.

From his happy voice and hand-holding movements when he first saw him at the headquarters after he came back, to now hugging himself on the horse without avoiding suspicion, the damn thing in his lower body suddenly became hard against himself, Tang Xingying's heart was bright, and the man was a little... Impatient, he wanted to eat himself in one bite!

Tang Xingying, who was full of shame, said on the war horse, "I'll wait for you to ,., and run away."

Zhao Xiaoman walked up to Liu Yimin, took out two hard-boiled eggs from his shoulder bag, stuffed them into Liu Yimin's pocket, and saluted.

After returning the salute, Liu Yimin confessed that he was not allowed to leave the guard circle, not to fall behind, and not to fall asleep on the horses. The three of them were not allowed to finish, Zhao Xiaoman's tears came out, and Liu Yimin hurriedly waved his hand and asked her to get on the horse to chase the troops.

Looking at Tang Xingying's pretty back, Liu Yimin's heart was hot. At his age, his body is much stronger than ordinary people, and he has been a bachelor for such a long time, and from the moment he heard Tang Xingying shouting a report, his heart was already on fire. It's a pity that the enemy situation is urgent, so he had to take precautions and let the large army go first, and the swan that reached his mouth flew away again, and Liu Yimin could only watch Tang Xingying's back in a daze.

Zuo Quan poked him with his hand: ""Monkey is in a hurry? The CEOs are all here watching! ，”

Liu Yimin finally came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.

Mr. Peng jumped out coldly: "It's useless! ，”

Mr. Zhu corrected: "Lao Peng, it's not that Liu Yimin is unproductive, it's that the girl is too beautiful!" ，”

Mr. Peng and Zuo Quan laughed.

At this moment, no one pursued the relationship between Tang Xingying and Liu Yimin, and some were just banters between comrades-in-arms.

When Liu Yimin accompanied Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo back to the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in Shijiazhuang, Chen Zaidao, commander of the Southern Hebei Military Region, and Song Renqiang, political commissar, were already very busy.

It is no wonder that Chen Zaidao and Song Ren were busy, they captured a lot of materials, and there were many troops who came to carry the spoils of war.

As soon as Liu Yimin saw the situation, he immediately shouted: "Chen Mazi, Lao Song, don't mix the two of you together. Chen Mazi was in charge of military command, Lao Song led the cadres to be responsible for distributing the spoils of war and organizing factory production, and one unit sent a liaison group, and one factory sent a working group to act separately. When will it be finished with such a "mess" and coaxing? ，”

As soon as Chen Zaidao heard that Commander Liu didn't let him take care of the spoils of war, he said to Song Renqiang, "Political commissar, I'm busy,., so I followed Liu Yimin and Mr. Zhu into the war room.

The war room is the war room of the Japanese garrison in Shijiazhuang, and there is also a map of the distribution of Japanese troops in the Shimen area on the wall. It's just that at this time, this map has lost its effect, because the Japanese soldiers have run away early except for those who were killed.

In front of the two CEOs, Liu Yimin asked: "Chen Mazi, how is the task completed?" ，．

Chen Zaidao "snapped" and stood upright: "Report to Commander Liu, follow your instructions. I've already got in touch with Commander Lu and Political Commissar Meng in Jizhong. In the middle of the wing, in the south of the wing, the wall is strictly strong. Martial law was imposed on both sides of the highway to ensure the secrecy of the main movement. ，”

Liu Yimin nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the map and said: "The Yinan troops have three things to do next, one is to carry out multiple batches of armed reconnaissance to Yuanshi County and the Dasha River. Remember, it's armed reconnaissance, not for you to fight. You don't have the firepower of Shandong's main force, and you will fall in a fight. However, an ambush circle can be set up behind the reconnaissance troops, and if the devils dare to pursue, they will concentrate their firepower to teach them a hard lesson, and put on a fearless posture. The second is to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese heavy army group, and carry out raid and harass operations against the Japanese heavy army group, so that they will believe that the main force of our army is still in the Shimen area, so they will rush to Shimen desperately. The third is to withdraw from the stone gate and go down the tunnel before the Japanese army encircles it. I'm telling you, we can't do anything about the heavy army group of little devils, but the heavy army group can't always stop here. It is enough to give the little devils a false impression that they think that southern Hebei has been completely occupied by them and leave the garrison. As long as the little devil heavy army group withdraws, the devil garrison will be the dish in our bowl, and we can eat it whenever we want, and we can eat it as much as we want. Got it? ，．

Chen Zai said, "Smack, a salute:" "Resolutely carry out the order!" ，．

Liu Yimin nodded, and said: "Your headquarters is located here, pay attention to maintaining contact with Chen Shiqu in southwest Lu, Xu Shiyou in southwest Luxi, Zeng Chunjian, Wang Bingsan in Lu Xi and southwest Lu, and report any major enemy situation immediately." ，．

Chen Zaidao saluted again: "Yes! ，”

After the arrangements were made, Liu Yimin asked Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng to rest, and he and Zuo Quan went to Liu Yimin's office and bedroom, sat opposite the table, and began to study and draft a report on the comprehensive implementation of the grievance appeal campaign and the large-scale military training activities in the whole army.

Zuo Quan is a military strategist in our army who has both theoretical accomplishment and actual combat experience. At this time, he was not only the deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, but also the commander of the second column of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention Liu Yimin, who is also a famous general of our army, and the two of them sit together to study this report, which is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

It didn't take long for the skeleton of the report to be erected. Liu Yimin and Zuo Quan grabbed knives and pens and drafted two reports separately.

This writing was done in one go, and by 2 o'clock at night, the two of them had basically finished writing.

I looked at each other, put forward comments, and made revisions and moistened sè, until three o'clock in the night. It took two people to write the report well.

At this time, inside and outside the Shimen City, it was in full swing. The flour mills, ginning mills,

Garment shops are all producing at full capacity. The Eighth Route Army paid for the purchase, and the price was fair, and the merchants were naturally happy and laughed. Outside the city, planes on the Daguozhuang Airport fell one after another, and after being filled with ammunition and fuel, one after another took off into the air and flew towards Shaanxi: teams of the Eighth Route Army, militia,

The front team, driving big carts, pushing small carts, carrying burdens, carrying rice bags and noodle bags, and lighting torches, marched towards their respective goals with joy.

Song Renqiang, secretary of the party committee of the southern Hebei region and political commissar of the military region, led the cadres to divide into working groups one after another in accordance with Liu Yimin's instructions and organized the troops to carry materials in an orderly manner.

After Liu Yimin finished writing, he stood up and stretched, and said to Zuo Quan: "Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, hurry up and sleep for a while." Today, the plane of the 1 little devil did not come to make trouble, and it is estimated that he was busy preparing for a sneak attack by our plane. There will be no such good thing tomorrow, and 1 little devils will definitely come out of the motive group to retaliate. You have to rest quickly, recuperate your spirits, and tomorrow you can deal with the air revenge of the little ghost Mou. ，”

Zuo Quan said: "Don't call me Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, just call me Comrade Zuo and Comrade Zuo Quan. You are a member of the Central Committee, and you have a higher position than me, so you don't need to be polite to me. ，．

Liu Yimin and Zuo Quan did not have much contact before, let alone worked together again, and their understanding of Zuo Quan mainly relied on the introduction of later generations. Therefore, he was very polite and respectful to Zuo Quan. Hearing that Zuo Quan asked him to call Lao Zuo, Liu Yimin was happy, and opened his mouth and said: "Okay, I call you Lao Zuo, and you call me Lao Liu." ，．

Zuo Quan shook his head: "You can't afford the old word, you're too young, it's almost the same to call you Xiao Liu."

Zuo Quan was born in 1905, and Liu Yimin wrote his resume after crossing to set his birthday in 1913

On October 1, the difference between the two was 8 years.

When Liu Yimin heard this, he said: "You are only a few years older than me, why do you have to call me Xiao Liu when you call you Lao Zuo?" If you want to be fair, fight upside down, you don't call me Lao Liu, and I don't call you Lao Zuo. ，”

Zuo Quan smiled: "You guy, you only take advantage and don't suffer losses, this matter is also worth fighting with me?" Okay, just call you Lao Liu. Lao Liu, go to sleep? ，．

This room was originally the living room of Major General Kokurihara, the commander of the Japanese garrison in Shijiazhuang, and it was decorated in Japanese style, with no chuáng, only tatami mats. Each of them pulled a quilt, took off their coats, and got into their respective quilts.

This lying down on the chuáng, Liu Yimin thought of Tang Xingying in his mind, because the two bosses were here, Liu Yimin did not have time to talk to her in detail, and he didn't know if there were any encouraging results of their trip to the Soviet Union. From Tang Xingying, I thought of my two sons, and I thought of Ni Hua, who was far away in Chongqing, and I couldn't sleep anymore.
