Chapter 789: Yu and Shen visit

Yamashita Fengwen and Muto Zhang made a lot of calculations, but the only thing they didn't calculate was that Liu Yimin would act in advance and launch an attack on Longhai Road before it was dark. Otherwise, according to the plan of Yamashita Fengfu and Muto Akira, when the Eighth Route Army moved towards Longhai Road when it was dark, it happened to crash into the vice of the Japanese army's east-west attack, and the losses would probably be incalculable.

Large troops are fighting, and military orders are like mountains. In particular, the main force of the main force and the elite of the elite such as the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade were all heroic units that won victory in the sea of swords and fires at the sound of an order. Now that they are suddenly facing the dangerous situation of being attacked by the Japanese army, the cadres and soldiers are all screaming, and there has always been only the Eighth Route Army calculating the little devils, when will it be the turn of the little devils to calculate the Eighth Route Army like this? Damn little devils, if you don't go to your trouble, you should burn incense and kowtow, and dare to bully you, this is what you want to send to death, no wonder you are ruthless!

The 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade, loaded with bullets and knives unsheathed, swept towards the Japanese defense line between Hongzhuang and Niushan on the Longhai Road.

During this time, Luo Ronghuan shouldered the party, government and army, and his cheekbones were so tired that his cheekbones were high. After receiving a telegram from Liu Yimin by the Rose River asking about the enemy's situation, Luo Ronghuan smiled happily when he saw everyone. At noon, Lin Yueqin didn't know why he was so happy, and when she asked him, she didn't say anything, so she complained that he didn't know that he felt sorry for himself, and he would be tired if he continued to be tired like this.

After Luo Ronghuan finished eating, he wiped his mouth and went to the division headquarters. Lin Yueqin grabbed him and said that he should go to the field hospital to check it out and see why he was so thin.

Luo Ronghuan ignored Lin Yueqin, saying that the woman's family knew that it was wordy, the little devils were attacking everywhere, and there were wars everywhere, could you not lose weight? After saying that, he went to the office without looking back.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Li Zongrui, the head of the guard regiment, reported that Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sulu Theater, Shen Honglie, chairman of Shandong Province, and Qin Qirong, had arrived in Dadian Town.

During this period, the overall situation in the Shandong base area was stable, especially on the Jiaoji Road; since Li Qing commanded the 3rd, 4th, and 7th Brigades to teach the devils a hard lesson, although the little devils adjusted their deployment and increased their troops, they were only limited to improving the defense system. Even in the border areas of Hebei and Shandong, which were superficially occupied by the Japanese puppet army, the situation also tended to be stable, with the Japanese army occupying county seats, important market towns, and communication lines, and our army occupying the rural areas, developing and strengthening the militia organizations, digging tunnels, perfecting the tunnel network, and using tunnel warfare, mine warfare, ambush warfare, and guerrilla warfare to deal with the Japanese puppet army, making the little devils anxious.

What Luo Ronghuan didn't expect was that while concentrating his forces to sweep the Shanxi base area, the little devil suddenly launched a sweep of the surrounding areas of Jinan, the Taixi region and the Lunan region. Jinan and Taixi said that it is common for the military and civilians in the base areas to sweep up the Japanese puppet army, you fight yours, I fight mine, and the little devils can capture some cities and towns at most. It won't be long before the main force of the Eighth Route Army is launched, they will have to obediently pick up their tails and get out, I'm afraid they will have to get out quickly, and they may not be able to go back if it's late. It's just that the situation of the 51st Army and the 57th Army of Yu Xuezhong's department is not good, and the tactics of these two troops are outdated. Yu Xuezhong had no choice but to ask Luo Ronghuan for help. Luo Ronghuan immediately ordered Hong Chaoyuan to send the New Eighth Brigade to support Yu Xuezhong's operation.

Luo Ronghuan didn't expect that Yu Xuezhong would leave the front line and travel a long way to Dadian at the tense juncture of the war, and he didn't expect that Shen Honglie, who had a conflict with Yu Xuezhong, would come with him, and he didn't know what the two of them were going to say. Therefore, after receiving the telegram that Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie wanted to visit Dadian, they had to call back and agree. Now that these two people have arrived, Luo Ronghuan had no choice but to greet them outside the town, welcome them into the division headquarters, sit down in his office, pour water, and then ask them to explain their intentions.

When Yu Xuezhong came to see Luo Ronghuan, he wanted to say two things, one was to ask the Eighth Route Army to send additional troops to assist Yu in carrying out a counteroffensive and recovering the field. Second, the troops ran out of food, and he came to borrow food. As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will panic. How can the troops fight without food? Originally, he was busy directing the battle, and he just sent a quartermaster. But Yu Xuezhong knew what military rations meant during the war years, so he led his troops to Shandong, snatched a base area from the Eighth Route Army, and then borrowed grain from the Eighth Route Army, can he do it?

If this is left in other places, Yu Xuezhong's department can also take strong measures to collect grain. However, this Shandong is different from other places, this is the base of the Eighth Route Army's instructors, and once it is used against the common people, it may cause disputes. Yu Xuezhong knew that he couldn't do that, it would make the Eighth Route Army find an excuse to expel him from Shandong.

Shen Honglie came to see Luo Ronghuan, there are many things, and the purpose is not just one. However, there is one thing that is the same as Yu Xuezhong, that is, borrowing grain. Joke, Yu Xuezhong's base in the Sulu War Zone has been lost, where will there be food! Yu Xuezhong had to borrow grain, and Shen Honglie, who had a conflict with Yu Xuezhong, had to borrow grain.

Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie are both coming to Dadian for the first time, and it is also the first time to go deep into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base area. Along the way, both of them were emotional.

Yu Xuezhong lamented that he could not imagine that there was such a solid base area in Shandong, which had been occupied by the occupied area, and just by looking at the growth of the crops in the fields and the situation of the common people sweating and working in the fields, he knew that the Communist Party was not simple, and in a short period of time, the Shandong base area was turned into a second Shaanxi. Thinking of the militia and the children's group along the way, Yu Xuezhong thought that Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan had more things in their stomachs, and they were the real all-people war of resistance, and they were carried out in accordance with the method of hiding soldiers from the people. If this development continues, no matter how powerful the little devil is, the sweep will not work, the people are all soldiers, and the devil has only one way to die.

Yu Xuezhong is an old-style soldier and has never seen the practices of the Eighth Route Army. This sight is an eye-opener, and everything is new. He once asked a militiaman, since he wanted to fight devils, why didn't he eat food and become a soldier? The militia told him that the Eighth Route Army said that the militia is also a soldier, with a hoe in one hand and a steel gun in the other, and when the little devil comes, he will beat it for a dog day! Usually engage in production, how can you do without food?

Yu Xuezhong asked again, a good man is not a soldier, a good iron is not a nail, is it because your parents and wife don't let you be a soldier?

A militiaman next to him said angrily: "You have wronged him." He was our captain, and the Eighth Route Army did not let him join the army, so he led us to defend the village. ”

Yu Xuezhong wanted to test it, so he said that the Eighth Route Army was not good, and he didn't even pay his salary. It is still the regular army of the national army, which is very powerful, well equipped, well dressed, and paid.

The militia captain just laughed and didn't say a word. Another militiaman grinned, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and said in a snort: "You are right, the Eighth Route Army does not pay military salaries, but the girls are willing to marry the Eighth Route Army, because they are the soldiers of the common people." The national army is good at everything, but there is one bad thing, that is, the war is sparse. ”

Yu Xuezhong was so angry that he stammered, and he had nothing to say.

Shen Honglie lamented that the Communist Party is too powerful, and it is so powerful in grasping the army and production. In the past, the ground in Shandong was ripe once a year, how to look at the green beans, green corn, green cabbage radish, green sweet potato seedlings in the field, it is clear that two crops a year have been achieved.

To say that this Shen Honglie is indeed famous as the mayor of Qingdao, and he has goods in his stomach. When I passed by a bean field, I saw an old farmer hoeing weeds, so I got off my horse and talked to the old farmer and asked why he was planting beans at this time.

The old peasant told him that the entire southeast of Shandong had been engaged in two crops a year since last year, and I heard that it was requested by General Liu Yimin, the great hero of the Eighth Route Army. At first, everyone didn't believe it, and they didn't know if the beans could grow after harvesting the wheat, and only some people planted them. As a result, the people who planted it all got a good harvest, and the late corn and beans were sold at a good price. Now the common people have opened up, and all of them have been engaged in two crops a year.

Shen Honglie's heart was gloomy, if this was the case, the production of land would be doubled, and the base area of the Eighth Route Army would no longer have to worry about running out of food. In the long run, the common people will inevitably follow the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party, and their Shandong Provincial Government, Shandong Provincial Party Headquarters, and Shandong Provincial Security Command will no longer be able to complete the tasks assigned by the chairman.

The two people have different mentalities and feelings, and after arriving at Luo Ronghuan's office, they spoke in different tones.

Yu Xuezhong was very polite, and after sitting down, he first thanked the Eighth Route Army for its strong support, and after the new Eighth Brigade and the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army participated in the battle, the defense line has been basically stabilized.

Luo Ronghuan immediately said that Commander-in-Chief Yu was polite, they were all anti-Japanese troops, and there was no reason not to save each other, and it was appropriate to support each other.

Seeing what Luo Ronghuan said sincerely, Yu Xuezhong asked if he could ask the Eighth Route Army to send one or two more brigades to assist the 51st Army and the 57th Army in recovering Feixian and Cangshan counties, otherwise, the Sulu Theater Command would have no foothold, and the supply of troops would be a problem. If the above two counties can be recovered, the theater command can prepare to build military factories and clothing factories, and can work with the Eighth Route Army to persist in the protracted war of resistance.

Luo Ronghuan patiently told Yu Xuezhong that the sweep of the little devils could not last, and the troops of the Sulu Theater should seize the opportunity of the devil's division of troops and strive to annihilate them all the way, and the devil's sweep would be self-defeating, and there should be no problem in restoring the base area. For the time being, the Eighth Route Army was conducting counter-sweeping operations in Taixi, Luxi, Jinan, Luzhong, and Qinghe, and had no strength to send additional troops to Yubu.

Yu Xuezhong has a strong sense of justice, has the determination to resist Japan, and is very old, some things hinder face and identity, and he is not too much, plus Luo Ronghuan is telling the truth, Liu Yimin led the troops to fight with the devils in the Suzhou-Anhui border area, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong led the troops to fight the devils in Luxi, Jinan, Taixi, Jiaodong, and Luzhong are full of gunfire, how many troops can the instructor of the Eighth Route Army have? However, it is indeed more difficult for him now, and it is a problem for the troops to eat, how can he fight?

Yu Xuezhong also asked if he could ask the Eighth Route Army to support some of the military rations to solve the urgent need. Before going north to Shandong, the order of the Central Military Commission said that the Shandong Provincial Government would be responsible for guaranteeing supplies, but now the base area has been lost, and the Shandong Provincial Government also has no rice in the pot and no noodles in the grain bag, and the military salary of the Central Military Commission is not supplied in a timely manner, and it relies entirely on airdrops by planes, and there is no money to buy grain. With such heavy casualties, the soldiers must be given a hot meal, right?

Luo Ronghuan readily agreed, saying that he couldn't let the brothers bleed and starve, and no matter how difficult the Eighth Route Army was, he would lend a helping hand and help the commander-in-chief. However, this was not a common law, and the Eighth Route Army adopted a combination of cantonment and warfare, and each unit used the grain produced by cantonment to make up for the lack of supply. It is recommended that the commander-in-chief visit our cantonment farm after the commander to see if he can get something out.

Yu Xuezhong was speechless, and began to pick up the teacup and drink tea.

Of course, there is no tea, and it is good to have boiled water to drink these days.

Shen Honglie, chairman of Shandong Province, didn't know which tendon was wrong, and forgot Liu Yimin's enlightenment to him in the back of his mind, seeing that Yu Xuezhong had nothing to say, he despised him very much in his heart, and felt that this person let Luo Ronghuan send away in a few words, and let him be the commander of the Sulu Theater It was simply the wrong person.

Shen Honglie took a sip of water, coughed, and said slowly: "Political Commissar Luo, in view of the loss of Fei County and Cangshan County, the Shandong Provincial Party Department and the Provincial Government cannot move with the troops every day, so they have to find a place to live so that they can lead the Shandong army and people to unite in the War of Resistance." It is hoped that Political Commissar Luo will agree to allow Xia to lead the Shandong Provincial Party Department, the Provincial Government, and the New Fourth Division of the Guard Force to Dadian and work together with the instructor and division headquarters to jointly command the Shandong War of Resistance. ”

When Luo Ronghuan heard this, his eyes swept to Shen Honglie's face through the thick lenses.

It turned out that when they were in Jinan, Liu and Luo proposed to let Shen Honglie's Shandong Provincial Government and the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate co-office, but Shen Honglie disagreed and ran to Zhang Liyuan with his entourage. Why do you want to co-locate with the Faculty of Mentors now?

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Ronghuan suddenly realized. Shen Honglie, the old boy, must have been ordered to seize the opportunity of No. 1 not being in Shandong, and wanted to lead Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division into Dadian and control the hinterland of the southeastern Ludong base area. This guy thought that Yu Xuezhong's department had arrived in Shandong, and he had Wu Huawen's new fourth division, his waist was thick, his courage was strong, and he was going to dream of marrying a daughter-in-law. It's weird to think about!

Luo Ronghuan is a steady and dignified person, and his face is generally unhappy or angry. As soon as Shen Honglie's unreasonable request was raised, Luo Ronghuan was so angry that he took the case and scolded loudly: "Chairman Shen, you are still the chairman of Shandong Province, so you can make such an unreasonable request." I'm telling you, when you want to come to the big store, there is no door! The location of the Shandong Provincial Government is in Jinan, not in Dadian. If you have the ability, you will recover the city of Jinan. When the time comes, don't say that you want a big store, just ask me Luo Ronghuan to serve you tea and pour water! ”

Luo Ronghuan turned his face, Qin Qirong, who was sitting next to him, was unwilling, Ma Shan stood up, pointed at Luo Ronghuan with his finger and blamed it, saying that the defeat of the 51st Army and the 57th Army was caused by the poor support and cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, and if the Eighth Route Army dispatched the main force to cooperate with the battle, the little devil would not be so rampant. He also said that Liu Yimin, the chief instructor, did not see the commander of the Sulu Theater and the chairman of Shandong Province at all, did not stick to his own defense area, disobeyed the orders of the Military Commission, went to Jiangsu and Anhui to grab territory without authorization, and regarded the 51st Army and the 57th Army directly under the Sulu Theater as his own guards guarding the gate, so that the troops of the Sulu Theater fought to the death with the Japanese army, and the Eighth Route Army hid behind to watch the excitement. Liu Yimin's approach is not worthy of the title of invincible general and anti-Japanese hero at all, and he is purely a new warlord who supports his troops and respects himself and disobeys military orders!

Qin Qirong is an anti-communist from the bottom of his bones, and he dares to point at Luo Ronghuan's nose and scold Liu Yimin, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! If Liu Yimin is here, I'm afraid he would have been pulled out and locked up at this time!

Luo Ronghuan was also extremely angry, slapped his hand on the table heavily, stopped Qi Qirong's nonsense, and then reprimanded him for being a soldier in vain. A little Qin Qirong dared to speak wildly and wantonly framed him, what was his intention? By whom?

Yu Xuezhong saw that Luo Ronghuan and Qin Qirong were arguing, so he quickly stood up and persuaded him. Shen Honglie stopped Yu Xuezhong, saying that it was okay to make a noise, but it was unclear whether it was noisy or not. There are some things that need to be clarified.

Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie had already had a problem at this time, and the contradiction between the two of them had become clear. Shen Honglie supported Qin Qirong and Luo Ronghuan to quarrel, but Yu Xuezhong didn't want to wade into this troubled water. Therefore, Yu Xuezhong ignored Shen Honglie's dissuasion and criticized Qin Qirong for speaking indiscriminately.

Qin Qirong didn't expect that Yu Xuezhong would help Luo Ronghuan reprimand him, and in anger, he released cruel words, saying that Lunan was not suitable for anti-Japanese soldier activities, and he wanted to go to Luzhong or Jiaodong to organize anti-Japanese guerrilla forces and fight to the death with the Japanese army. Okay or not, please give Chairman Shen a happy word!

Shen Honglie seemed to be very embarrassed, pondered for a while, and said to Xuezhong and Luo Ronghuan: "Commander Yu, Political Commissar Luo, since Comrade Qin has the determination to resist Japan and kill the enemy, just let him go to Luzhong." I considered giving him the number of the Fifth Guerrilla Column of the Shandong Security Command and going to Luzhong to fight guerrillas. Maybe you can do something else! ”

Only then did Luo Ronghuan understand that Qin Qirong's intention to quarrel with himself was originally to win the name of Luzhong. Thinking that Shen Honglie wanted to control the big store, Qin Qirong wanted to go to Luzhong to fish in troubled waters, and Yu Xuezhong wanted food and reinforcements, Luo Ronghuan felt that it was a mistake to let Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie enter Shandong at the beginning, and the troubles were one after another. Moreover, like Qin Qirong and others, they all harbor evil intentions, and they may stab the Eighth Route Army at any time.

After thinking about it, this Shen Honglie wanted Qin Qirong to go to Luzhong to carry out activities, so he had to come to discuss with himself, it seems that the last time the division commander's warning worked, and it also showed that Shen Honglie had to admit the fact that our army controlled Shandong. It's just that these two people are like acting, one sings red face and the other sings white face, maybe there is something unspeakable in it. The pustule is not squeezed or broken, let's see what Qin Qirong wants to do!

Dear book friends: There will be a chapter in a moment, please read and enjoy it tomorrow. Thank you!
