Two days later, when Xiaolu and the others had learned how to cook sea fish, they received several messages. The first news of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was that a unit of the Northeast Coalition Army moved south along the Bohai Bay, fought all the way through the barren beach of the Yellow River, liberated a large area of rural areas along the Laizhou Bay, merged with the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and turned to attack Laizhou and other places.

Xiao Lu couldn't laugh or cry about this, this is the upper echelon of the Northeast Coalition Army, that is, Commander Yang, afraid of his own danger, and sent troops to liberate the places that might threaten his safety. Looks like it's going to have to move. The purpose of sending telegrams from the small road to the vicinity of enemy-occupied areas is to create some illusions and not give any room for any spy agency to imagine.

The second piece of news is that the Northeast Coalition Army of the Eighth Route Army is making rapid progress, the troops have liberated all the north banks of the Yellow River in Shandong, and the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, under the leadership of Luo Ronghuan and Xu Shiyou, has recovered a large number of county seats, and the situation is very good. At present, the county seat on the railway line in Shandong, and some large cities are still in the hands of the Japanese army. There were many puppet troops in Shandong who surrendered.

The third piece of news is that the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu has also begun a major counteroffensive. Half a month ago, the Northeast Navy dispatched transport ships to deliver a batch of munitions to Jiangsu, which had already been distributed to the troops, and the New Fourth Army had greatly increased its combat strength and began to counterattack.

When Zhang Laohan heard that Laizhou Bay had become a liberated area, he was overjoyed and said, "I can sleep well now." ”

Xiaolu said: "Uncle Zhang, I always make you unable to sleep steadily, hehe, I'm really sorry." ”

Zhang Laohan: "What do you want to do?" As soon as he looked at the path, he knew he had an idea again.

Xiaolu said: "Have you ever been to Shanghai by boat?" ”

Zhang Laohan: "Do you want to go to Shanghai?" He was surprised, we didn't know each other.

Xiaolu said: "You don't have to go to Shanghai, just take a turn on the seaside around Shanghai, Jiangsu." ”

Zhang Laohan: "Is it safe?" Let's this little boat, okay? ”

Xiaolu said: "You can rest assured, safe." I promise you, sailing on the sea, you say it's not safe, let's take a detour. If it's not a safe place, let's not go. Just arrive at the time I said, whatever you want. Besides, the coastal cities and villages, except for Yantai and Qingdao, have been liberated, what are you afraid of. ”

Zhang Laohan said: "I heard that Shandong is fighting, it's not safe." ”

Xiaolu: "Don't worry, I know where the fight is going on, where the fight is over." ”

Everyone didn't agree, but they had to obey the order, and when they saw that Zhang Laohan didn't say anything, they had to pull out.

April 17, Bohai Sea. The sea surface on the northwest side of Changshan Island.

From the mouth of the Yellow River to the east, it was soon time to reach the naval battlefield where the aircraft carrier was defeated. When it was not far away, Xue Rui was very excited and said, "Let's go to the scene of the salvage aircraft carrier to have a look, how about it?" ”

In this matter, a large number of warships and small boats can be seen faintly in the distance.

Xiaolu said: "Let's not disturb them. Since we say rest, we should rest completely. We went around from the north side. Uncle Zhang, let's go north and go around. ”

At the end of February, the Northeast Allied Navy used submarines to sneak attack the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet here, completely dealing a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. According to intelligence, the Japanese base camp was greatly shocked by this, and someone asked the navy to go to Dalian to take revenge on the Chinese.

At the same time, the United States put into the Pacific theater a large aircraft carrier fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers and several large warships, and the Japanese Navy did not have enough warships to deal with the US Navy, so it had to give up.

Circumventing Changshan Island, the dinghy headed east, then south, and then near Yantai for a short time, and then continued forward, heading towards Qingdao. All the way is the base of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army is very strong in the Jiaodong Peninsula.

On the way, he got the news that Xu Shiyou led his troops to conquer Jinan.

The commander-in-chief of the campaign was Su Yu, and the command team composed of Su Yu, Xu Shiyou, Tan Zhenlin, and Zhao Shangzhi concentrated 140,000 troops to besiege Jinan with the assistance of rocket artillery and other weapons of the Northeast Coalition Army. The defenders of Jinan, with a Japanese army and a puppet army of about 80,000 people, fought a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army at the head of Jinan.

As happened in history, the Eighth Route Army launched a powerful political offensive, and Wu Huawen led his troops to revolt, surrender the Eighth Route Army, and counterattack the Japanese army.

Under the influence of several factors, the PLA suffered less than 10,000 casualties.

Wu Huawen once served as the commander of the Jinan garrison. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Fuyu was shot for ineffective combat, Wu Huawen was called the new chairman of Shandong Province Shen Honglie's subordinates, and in 39 years, Wu Huawen served as a member of Shandong Province and concurrently served as the commander of the First Security Division. During the anti-Japanese period, it cooperated well with Shandong Eighth Road.

Like the trajectory of history, in 1943, under the instructions of Shen Honglie and with the consent of Lao Chiang, Wu Huawen surrendered to the Japanese army and publicly expressed his membership in the Wang Jingwei regime. This is the famous curve to save the country.

He went to Nanjing to visit Wang Jingwei and had a good time drinking with many traitors. Later, his army was stationed in Jinan.

Now, the Japanese army is retreating, and Wu Huawen, under the persuasion of his brother-in-law, that is, his wife Lin Shiying's fourth brother, and Lin Shichang, an underground party member, revolted at the critical moment of liberating Jinan, which dealt a huge blow to the Japanese army.

In the central part of Shandong, with Jinan as the center and along the railway line, the Japanese army was very powerful. The Japanese army focused on the defense along the railway, spent a lot of military strength, and absolutely did not allow any losses on the railway. After the loss of Tianjin, the value of the Japanese army on this railway fleet decreased by a few points. Now that Jinan has been breached, the days of the Japanese army in Shandong are numbered.

This was the first large-scale offensive carried out by the Eighth Route Army, and the American observer group commented that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to attack the Japanese army in central China. They did not make all kinds of deceptive moves as they did in Northeast China and North China before, but used large forces to attack fortified positions, and their combat style was very strong and very rare.

April 20, 1944, off the coast of Qingdao.

Since then, the situation in Shandong has changed several times a day, Jinan has won a victory, the Japanese army in other areas has been devastated, and the big cities in Shandong, the railway from north to south, quickly recovered.

The good situation in Shandong gave great encouragement to the people on the steamboat, and everyone was excited all the way, singing and walking.

The steamboat went west along the coastline of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and came to Tianheng Island on this day, and two sailors went ashore to find supplies, and the coastal fishing villages have long been base areas, and the Dalian Navy has frequent exchanges.

Because of the letter of introduction from Dalian, the villagers here were very enthusiastic and sold them some cabbage, potatoes, kelp, dried fish, rice and noodles and so on. When he heard that they were leaving, he warned them: "Don't go, the government has said that the army is attacking Qingdao, and our navy is attacking Japanese ships in Qingdao, and there is danger." ”

The steamboat moved slowly forward, and when it reached the vicinity of Qingdao, the sound of cannons was heard in the distance. Walking nearby, the battle was over, two Navy warships were wounded, were extinguishing the fire, it did not seem to be serious, and were heading to the Qingdao dock. Two Japanese ships sank in the bay, and because the water was shallow, part of it was still on the water. There were quite a few Japanese people struggling on the sea, and some small boats were rescuing people.

On the shore, the battle was also going on, as if the troops had already entered the city, the artillery fire stopped, and the gunfire came and went.

Xiao Lu was holding a telescope and was observing the battle situation, when someone behind him shouted: "What ship?" Shoot or kill! "Then came the Japanese, which was also to surrender the gun and not kill. More than a dozen fishing boats rushed out from behind the reef and surrounded them, feeling that the boat was a Japanese boat.

Xiaolu said: "Raise the flag and send a telegram to Daniel Zhang, saying that I am on the sea of Qingdao." ”

Two hours later, Daniel Zhang and Zhang Xuesi arrived at the small motorboat on the trail. This time, they cooperated with the Army. Intercepting the Japanese army from the sea not only blocked the navy, but also blocked many retreating Japanese transport ships, and the cooperation with the Eighth Route Army was very successful, and the two were very excited.

Both of them were surprised to see him, because they didn't know the specific whereabouts of Xiaolu, they knew that he was at sea, and they didn't expect him to come here.

Xiao Lu didn't want to explain it to them very clearly, but said that he was not in good health, and he just wanted to drive the boat to relax at sea, and told the two to keep it secret. Although the two didn't quite believe him, they didn't want to ask much. It was Nie Fengzhi who attacked Qingdao on the shore, and the navy blocked the retreat of Japanese ships and civilian ships at sea.

Now, the army has entered Qingdao City, and Nie Fengzhi has set off, taking part of the troops, taking advantage of the victory to pursue and liberate Yantai.

Daniel Zhang said: "Taking advantage of the opportunity to give you supplies, I want to ask, do you think we are mature to go to Shanghai to blockade now?" ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "There are many arguments, some advocate the end of the Qingdao Campaign and the blockade of Shanghai immediately, and some people find it difficult. ”

Xiaolu said: "There are more than a dozen warships in Shanghai, and the key is that Shanghai is the back route of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Central China. As soon as this hornet's nest is poked, within a few days, Japan will use its own warships to come here. You don't have enough ships to see. I think it's safer to cooperate with the New Fourth Army first, take down Lianyungang, and observe and observe. In addition, the opinions of all parties were gathered and handed over to the Northeast Bureau and even Yan'an for discussion. If you want strategic guidance, I suggest you look to Huang Lao in Tianjin. This man has a great strategic vision. ”

Daniel Zhang said, "Understood." Contact the New Fourth Army immediately. ”

Xiaolu said: "What happened to the warship and aircraft carrier that were sunk last time?" I deliberately bypassed it when I passed through Long Island County. In fact, the thing I care about the most is the aircraft carrier. ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "The salvage warship has been completed and is being transported back to Dalian Port. The aircraft carrier is too big, and at present, we have repaired the hole under water, and it is estimated that it will be towed back to the port of Dalian in a few dozen days. Currently, the port is too small and is being expanded. ”

Xiaolu: "What about the planes on the aircraft carrier?" ”

Daniel Zhang said, "It's all in hand." Three planes fell into the water, one of them broke its wing, and the other two were less damaged. Our Navy wants to engage in aircraft carriers, and the key is those Japanese prisoners. ”

Xiaolu: "Aircraft carriers must be engaged." However, it was a very expensive deal. In addition, the Navy needs to be accumulated. I think, right now, you can engage in the Marine Corps. ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "You talk about it, let's record." He shouted: "All the staff officers have come to record." ”

Xiaolu was half-lying, covered with a blanket, and told them the basic concepts of the Marine Corps, training methods, tactics, and so on. It took several hours before he stopped.

Daniel Zhang said: "We will report back and start to form the Marine Corps." ”

Xiaolu: "Hold on." Engage a few thousand people first. We will strive to train troops capable of fighting within a year so that they can be used in the future. ”
