Chapter 851: Intimidation (I)

At this time, Liu Yimin had already decided to start a big war.

Before the September meeting of the Shandong Bureau, Liu Yimin had been planning to launch a major war to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army in North China.

Since you want to fight hard, you must carefully lay out and beat the little devils all over the ground to find teeth.

On October 2, when the Japanese army's attack on Changsha's Sixth Division, Nara Detachment, and Shangcun Detachment were all retreating, Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sulu Theater, and Shen Honglie, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government and commander of Shandong Provincial Security, rushed to Dadian to meet Liu Yimin, the famous instructor of the Eighth Route Army.

This time, the head of the instructor, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Zeng Zhongsheng, Tan Zheng, and Cai Zhongzhong, all came out to greet them.

After Tan Zheng attended the meeting of the Shandong Bureau, he did not return to the Ludong Command, he was a tutor and deputy political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, he just arrived in Shandong to devote himself to the anti-sweeping operation, and Liu Yimin did not meet very well, they were not very familiar with each other, the big war was imminent, it was necessary to enrich the leadership force, and there was a greater need for communication between the guys who set up the team, so Liu Yimin asked Tan Zheng to stay in the division headquarters and perform the duties of deputy political commissar.

Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie are both coming to the big store for the second time. The last time he came, it was when Liu Yimin broke through the Longhai Road and returned north, Luo Ronghuan met with them and gave them emergency support for some military rations. This time, two people came together, without him, they still wanted food. However, nominally, both of them said that they had come to visit Master Liu Yimin.

Shen Honglie is an old acquaintance, but Yu Xuezhong is the first time they have met. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the division headquarters and sat down, he made a big joke.

After all, Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie are the commanders of the Sulu Theater and the provincial chairman, and the Eighth Route Army cannot lose the necessary etiquette. Therefore, Cai Zhong specially asked Zhao Xiaoman, who had been acting with the division headquarters recently, to be responsible for the reception, serving tea and pouring water.

Although Yu Xuezhong knew some things about Liu Yimin, he had never seen Ni Hua, Tang Xingying, and Zhao Xiaoman, so he couldn't tell who was who. However, he was the commander of the Sulu Theater of Operations, and Chiang Kai-shek naturally wanted to inform him about the activities of Mrs. Liu Yimin in the United States. Therefore, when he saw that Zhao Xiaoman, who came in to pour water, was so beautiful, he thought it was Tang Xingying, and said politely: "Don't dare to work Mrs., I can't afford it"

This said, not only Zhao Xiaoman blushed, but even Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Zeng Zhongsheng, Cai Zhong and Shen Honglie present were all surprised and inexplicable, and Shen Honglie laughed at that time.

The contradiction between Shen Honglie and Yu Xuezhong has long been made public, and he has constantly sent secret telegrams to Chiang Kai-shek, and now seeing that the commander of General Yu Xuezhong made such a joke, he looked down on Yu Xuezhong more and more in his heart, so he naturally wanted to laugh out loud and embarrass Yu Xuezhong.

Zhao Xiaoman hurriedly finished pouring the water, said "Please drink water" and withdrew with a red face.

As soon as Zhao Xiaoman went out, Liu Yimin didn't give Shen Honglie face, and said coldly: "Why is Chairman Shen laughing? What's so funny? Commander Yu hasn't seen my wife, what's the big deal about recognizing the wrong person? Is it worth your joke? ”

Shen Honglie hurriedly stopped laughing, and picked up the water cup to drink.

Liu Yimin was disgusted with Shen Honglie, and then said to Xuezhong: "Commander Yu, I didn't introduce you clearly, the female comrade just now was not my wife, but Comrade Zhao Xiaoman, the head of our Eighth Route Army Art Corps. My wife is not in Shandong now. ”

Yu Xuezhong's blushing face had already turned purple, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I was reckless." ”

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhongli both understood that Yu Xuezhong regarded Zhao Xiaoman as Tang Xingying, so Cai Zhong casually added: "Comrade Tang Xingying is inspecting the work and is not in the division headquarters." ”

After Cai Zhong finished speaking, he suddenly felt that Luo Ronghuan's eyes were looking at him, and he realized that he was too talkative, and some things could only be understood but not spoken, and it would not be meaningful at all if he said it clearly. Ni Hua is now Liu Yimin's wife, a real cadre of the Eighth Route Army, and everyone recognizes her. can no longer be like in the past, always think that she is Song Meiling's cousin, as soon as others mention Mrs. Liu Yimin, they consciously or unconsciously want to say that it is Tang Xingying, so as not to misunderstand Liu Yimin's position.

The reason why Liu Yimin didn't give Shen Honglie face just now was mainly because he listened to Luo Ronghuan's introduction after he came back, and knew that Shen Honglie wanted to open his new fourth division to Dadian during his absence in Shandong.

Liu Yimin agreed with Luo Ronghuan's view, and Shen Honglie's unreasonable request must have been agreed by Chiang Kai-shek. It seems that he cannot wishfully think that a good solution to the Tanggou Incident can stop the anti-communist upsurge launched by Chiang Kai-shek in history, and the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang has already set the plate, and now it is just a matter of seeing when it is appropriate to launch it.

Because of this vigilance, Liu Yimin proposed at the meeting of the Shandong Bureau to increase the united front work of the Ministry of Xuezhong, the purpose of which was to transform it into the Ministry of Xuezhong and avoid friction incidents in Shandong. You must know that in history, the anti-stubborn battle was a very important task during the Anti-Japanese War of the Eighth Route Army, and I don't know how many heroes were sacrificed in the friction. Yu Xuezhong's 57th Army commander Miao Zhengliu almost defected to the enemy as a traitor, and was expelled from the army after being discovered by Chang Enduo and Wan Yi, the commanders of the 111th Division, and the 57th Army number was also revoked by Chiang Kai-shek. Now Yu Xuezhong's department has suffered heavy losses by the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army, and has lost the base area assigned to them. I'm afraid that Yu Xuezhong himself may not know what his subordinates are doing.

The reason why Liu Yimin agreed with Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie this time was that he wanted to squeeze Shen Honglie and drive him out of Lu; The second is to let Yu Xuezhong's department cooperate with the battle.

After Yu Xuezhong finished speaking, Liu Yimin diligently asked if the road was smooth, and then asked about the troops.

Yu Xuezhong is an old-fashioned soldier, but he sympathizes with the Communist Party in his heart, and the Communist Party has always been active in his army. Moreover, Yu Xuezhong was resolute in resisting Japan. Just these two points, Liu Yimin has no reason not to see him.

Seeing Liu Yimin's kind attitude and the presence of several leaders of the instructor, Yu Xuezhong said a few polite words and introduced the current deployment of the 51st Army and the 57th Army.

According to Yu Xuezhong's introduction, after the 51st Army and the 57th Army failed in the anti-sweeping operation and lost Cangshan County and Feixian County, with the assistance of the New Eighth Brigade, the New Fourth Brigade, and the Tai'an Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, they had already established a defensive line relying on the Yihe River in Fei County to confront the Japanese army. At the moment, the defence is solid. However, the losses of the troops were too great, the 51st Army and the 57th Army were reduced by a quarter, and there was a shortage of food. After asking Political Commissar Luo for help from Dadian last time, the Eighth Route Army supported a batch of military rations and temporarily survived the difficulties. However, now seeing that the food is about to run out, he has to ask the Eighth Route Army for help again.

After Yu Xuezhong's introduction, Liu Yimin turned to Shen Honglie.

Shen Honglie is indeed a talented person, and what is particularly valuable is that in the corrupt Kuomintang bureaucratic system, Shen Honglie is very honest. Moreover, he was not ambiguous in his resistance to Japan. For Shen Honglie, Liu Yimin really sincerely wanted to play his special role and let him lead the naval school. Now it seems that Shen Honglie would rather be the chairman of his Shandong Provincial Government than the principal of the Shandong Naval School. For him, it was not enough to embarrass him, Liu Yimin decided to get rid of him. Otherwise, leaving the chairman of Shandong Province of the Kuomintang, who had no soldiers, no food, no money, and made trouble from time to time, Liu Yimin was tired and panicked, and he was unwilling to waste his energy and delay the fight against devils in order to deal with him perfunctorily.

Liu Yimin turned to ask Chairman Shen if there was anything he needed the help of the Eighth Route Army.

Shen Honglie is also a figure with a head and a face, and he was reprimanded and ridiculed by Liu Yimin just now, which made his old face red, and he sat there drinking water quietly without saying a word. Because he knew in his heart that Liu Yimin was taking advantage of the topic.

Originally, Shen Honglie came to borrow grain this time, and the other really wanted to see Liu Yimin. After all, when he left Jinan, Liu Yimin not only persuaded him with good words, but also gave weapons and sent troops to escort him, and that affection was genuine. Fortunately, after listening to Liu Yimin's words, he did not recklessly go to Li Wenli, otherwise he might have become a prisoner of the Japanese army. Now, because of his inappropriate laughter just now, Liu Yimin was disgusted, and he made a circle of people see the joke, and Shen Honglie's words are hard to say.

After a long time, Shen Honglie said: "Senior Commander Liu, my problem is also a food problem, and I want to ask your army to help solve it." I also came here to pay tribute to Miss An Jingjing and the martyrs who died in the Battle of Longhai Road on behalf of the Shandong Provincial Government."

This is quite a good thing to say, because since the announcement of the results of the Battle of Longhai Road and the news of Jingjing's sacrifice, the news circles in the rear area have not reacted much, except for Wen Wei Po, which reprinted Liu Yimin's commemorative article in full and published an introduction to his deeds. In particular, the Nationalist Government and the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Government have not yet squeaked

Liu Yimin didn't say anything to thank him, but said: "Chairman Shen, since our division entered the Shandong War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it has fought in Linqing, Liaocheng, Qingdao, Binxian, Luzhong, Jinan, Tai'an, and southern Lunan, and fought all over Shandong. Although the battle was fruitful and the record was brilliant, which battle did not kill anyone? Could it be that the little devil is holding a burning stick in his hand? Our sacrifices were very great, and including Comrade Huang Su, the principal leader of our division, a total of one division-level leader, three brigade-level leaders, and two main regiment commanders were martyred. Tens of thousands of people below the battalion commander died. If it is calculated according to the establishment of the national army division, it is equivalent to a change in the whole division. These martyrs should be given a pension by the national government in accordance with the first-class military pension method. We are compiling and printing a list of the martyrs of the 18th Group Army, and after the compilation is completed, we will submit it to the Shandong Provincial Government and ask Chairman Shen to allocate a pension. ”

Shen Honglie was silent, and Yu Xuezhong was silent.
