While Gao Yuan, Hu Laohu, Li Chang, Cheng Cuilin, and Chen Shiqu were laughing in the courtyard, Liu Yimin was talking to the reporters of the Dazhong Daily who were accompanying the army in the command headquarters

Out of the need to mobilize the Japanese army, as soon as the battle ended, Liu Yimin ordered to report to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters. In this battle, our army wiped out three infantry wings, eight infantry brigades, one field artillery brigade, one engineer wing, one search wing, and one combat convoy of the main force of the 38th Division, killed 13,234 people under Major General Sakai, commander of the infantry regiment of the 38th Division, destroyed 1 Japanese tank, and captured 36 75 field guns, 12 75 mountain guns, 24 infantry guns, 120 mule and horse rubber carts, 2,236 pack horses, and more than 9,600 guns of various kinds.

After receiving the good news, the chairman asked the Xinhua News Agency to announce the news of the great victory in southwest Lu as soon as possible, and then sent a warm congratulatory telegram to Liu and Luo, praising the battle in southwest Lu for fully embodying the power of our army's mobile and flexible strategy and tactics, the power of our army's unified command, coordination and cooperation, the power of our army's ability to penetrate deep into the enemy and seek opportunities to annihilate the enemy, the power of our army's heroic spirit of not fearing a strong enemy, daring to win, forging ahead with indomitable spirit, and overwhelming all enemies, and the power of our army's willingness to smash the altars and jars. The power of the correct guiding ideology of annihilating the living forces of the Japanese army.

In the telegram, the chairman warned Liu and Luo that the oppression of the Japanese army's heavy army group still exists, and the crisis facing our army in Shandong still exists, and that we must not be arrogant and careless, and underestimate the enemy's paralysis, and must do everything possible to mobilize the devils, so that the devils will keep running on the road, and the fat horses will drag the thin, and the elite soldiers will be tired, forcing the Japanese army to have to hurriedly end the heavy army sweep under the constant blows of our army.

The chairman reported three things: First, Lin Nie, the head of the 115th Division, led the main force to arrive in the Jireliao region and entered western Liaoning, which will effectively respond to the operation of our army in Shandong. Second, Chiang Kai-shek's embassy in the United States was ordered several times to urge Ni Hua to return to China, and Soong Meiling also repeatedly urged Ni Hua to return to China and wait for childbirth. Therefore, the central government has notified Ni Hua to return to China in the near future, and informed Ni Hua that Liu Yiyi is the password, and Ni Hua can contact Liu Yimin directly. Third, the delegation of the FU Federation led by Cai Chang has successfully completed its mission to visit the Soviet Union, has returned to Dihua, and will soon return to Xi'an. Tang Xingying's mother and son are about to return safely.

After receiving the good news, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng immediately called back, reported on the operational situation of our army in Shanxi, and ordered Liu Yimin to seize the opportunity of annihilating the main force of the 38th Division, fight continuously, expand the results of the battle, and ensure that the Japanese heavy army group was transferred from the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong to southwest Lu, so as to lay the foundation for the realization of the next operational goal.

After receiving the telegram from the chairman and the boss, Liu Yimin ordered the high-power radio station to be shut down. There was no way, there were swarms of Japanese planes in the sky, and if the radio was turned on again, it would be tantamount to indicating bombing targets for the Japanese army.

Liu Yimin did not know that as soon as the news of the Xinhua News Agency's celebration of the great victory in southwest Lu was released, it would no longer be the base area of our party and our army, and even the people in the rear area were excited.

In addition to the Xinhua Ribao in Chongqing, Vice Chairman Zhou personally wrote a comment on the great victory of the 18th Group Army's Shandong Military Region in southwest Lu. Tada Jun, the commander of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, couldn't bear his temperament, jumped out and made a public statement, and even whimsically persuaded my invincible generals and legendary heroes to surrender. Tada Jun also knew that his move would not succeed, so he offered a huge reward of 2 million yuan for General Liu Yimin's head. The Japanese-controlled Han Jiān radio station was even more parroted rapping and chattering, following their master's blind calls, as if the Japanese army had won the victory on the battlefield in Shandong. What is even more infuriating is that the Eighth Route Army is fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army, and some officials and men with ulterior motives who hide in air-raid shelters and drink milk and eat bread in the rear have wantonly criticized General Liu Yimin, and even compared General Liu Yimin with the escaped General Han Fuqu. Well, now that a battle in southwest Lu eliminated the main force of the elite 38th Division of the Japanese army, 13,234 people, not only slapped Tada Jun in the face, but also told those who tried to abuse General Liu Yimin that heroes are heroes, even if Men G was humiliated by the demotion of the lieutenant division commander to the second lieutenant probationary platoon commander, it could not bury the demeanor of our famous Chinese anti-Japanese general. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou's article was relatively long, accompanied by a good report from the Xinhua News Agency, and pictures introducing the achievements of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines, which made this issue full of pictures and texts. The newsboys shouted with great effort: "Read the newspaper and read the newspaper, the Eighth Route Army has won a great victory in southwest Lu, and a division of devils will be eliminated!" As a result, this issue of Xinhua Daily was sold out, and Vice Chairman Zhou had to ask the printing house to reprint it.

Chongqing's radio stations also reacted, constantly broadcasting Xinhua News Agency's news releases, and the news of the Eighth Route Army's victory in southwest Shandong was heard on the radio.

The battle of southwest Lu was fought cleanly, Ni Hua and Tang Xingying's mother and son were about to return, Liu Yimin was full of joy, and the reporters who participated in the conversation were all infected.

It was now morning, and because the Japanese planes were swarming, our army could only rest in concealment, and Liu Yimin took this opportunity to make a statement to reporters, saying that he wanted to launch another propaganda war against the Japanese army and further confuse the enemy.

Liu Yimin started from the Battle of Southwest Lu. He, the annihilation of the main force of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army in the Battle of Southwest Lu was only the prelude to the Battle of Southwest Lu of our army. Now that the curtain has been opened, the show will be staged on stage. Where will the main force of the Eighth Route Army point next? There are three things: First, seize Shangqiu, close the enemy's retreat routes in Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, and with the cooperation of the troops of the First Theater, completely wipe out the Japanese army in Henan south of the Yellow River and recover the lost territory in Henan. Why do you think about it this way? Because west of Shangqiu, east of Zhengzhou, and south of the Yellow River, there were only a few garrisons under the command of the 39th Division of the Japanese Army, and this kind of garbage force was not at all the opponent of the main force of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. The second is to cross the river and advance to the preparatory stage. The reason is equally simple, in the huge northern part of Henan, the Japanese army only has a rebuilt 14th Division. How could the Eighth Route Army miss such an opportunity? The third is to quickly advance out of the Dong'a area, encircle and annihilate the enemy along the Yellow River in Dong'a, and attack the Japanese heavy army group in the middle of the river when it is possible for the Japanese army to reinforce the heavy army group in southwest Lu to cross the river, and it will certainly be able to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese heavy army group. Where our army will attack depends on how the devils move.

These reporters are also old eight-way people, and knowing that the commander is openly going out in the direction of our army's attack, he must be deceiving the devil again.

Liu Yimin said: "In the battle of southwest Lu, the Ming devil is a paper tiger, strong on the outside and dry in the middle. Why? This can be seen from the Japanese army's sweep of Shandong's heavy army group. At the beginning, the Japanese army secretly mobilized the main force of the Kwantung Army to go south by railway and sea, landing in Jiaodong all the way, and sweeping south along the Pinghan Line all the way. At the same time, the Japanese army transferred the 6th Division, the 15th Division, and the 1st, 5th, 7th, 11th, and 12th Brigades from Central China, and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade from South China, and cobbled together the 2nd, 28th, and 29th Guards Divisions, plus the divisions directly under the North China Front Army and the 12th Army, and launched a sweep against the Eighth Route Army in a vast area stretching from Jiaodong in the north, to the Yangtze River in the south, to the Pinghan Line in the west, and to the sea in the east. Menacing! The result? The Japanese army was repeatedly attacked in southern Hebei, on the Jiaoji Road, in the southeast of Shandong, and north of Tai'an. In today's battle in southwest Lu, the Japanese army lost the main force of the 38th Division. Tada Jun never imagined that under his heavy encirclement and suppression, the Eighth Route Army would be able to counterattack and succeed in one blow. These devils are all papier-mâché tigers, which look scary, but in fact they are broken as soon as they are stabbed. ”

In response to the surrender of Qin Yutang, commander of the Sixth Guerrilla Column of the Sulu Theater, Liu Yimin commented: "Qin Yutang, commander of the Sixth Guerrilla Column of the Sulu Theater of the Sulu Theater of Tada Jun in Jiaodong, has surrendered to the enemy. However, we are not afraid, our army has never shown mercy to the Han Jiān. In my opinion, Qin Yutang had to quickly wash his neck and wait for a knife. Not only Qin Yutang, all those who want to be Han Jiān must have the consciousness of being judged, and Ma Liang and others are precedents. I'm not afraid that he will be a Han jiān, but I'm afraid that he will be alone. Once left the protection of the Japanese army's heavy military group, the death of those Han Jiān will also come. ”

Next, Liu Yimin began to sow discord and kill people with a knife: "We have a variety of methods to deal with Han Jiān. For example, with regard to the puppet Manchurian Defense Forces in the Xuzhou area, we adopted the method of buying ammunition in their hands with money, and established a close relationship with them. The reason why our army was able to successfully break through the Longhai Road several times was inseparable from the help of the officers and men of the puppet Manchurian Ting Army. For the officers and soldiers of the North China Public Security Army, we will record black and red dots for them, and every time they do a good deed, they will record a red dot; Do a bad deed, make a note of the black dot. As long as there are enough black spots to accumulate 5, measures will be taken to resolutely execute the people. Journalists, you may not believe that after our enemy work, many puppet soldiers and puppet personnel have the idea of abandoning the dark and turning to the light. Like Wang Kemin, the head of the Han dynasty in North China, he was loyal to the Japanese army on the surface, but in fact he was afraid to death. Last time, Wang Kemin dared to organize a group of Han literati to make up a book and insult me, I thought he was so powerful, but as a result, just before the Japanese army launched a clean-up campaign, Wang Kemin sent a cousin of one of his concubines to Shandong to find me and sent me a letter from Wang Kemin. In the letter, Wang Kemin groveled and apologized to me again and again, saying that the reason why he made up the book and insulted me was that he was coerced by Toshiichi Terauchi, the former commander of the North China Front, and Kita Seiichi, the head of the secret service, and if he did not organize someone to compile it, Kita Seiichi would invite him to the secret service for tea. Wang Kemin kept saying that the reason why he became a Han Jiān was to maintain law and order in North China and reduce the Japanese army's poison in North China. In his heart, Wang Kemin also asked me to send him a secret liaison group to keep in touch, and he would try to do something for the anti-Japanese resistance. This Wang Kemin, who can burn incense in the wrong place, actually came to beg me for mercy, it's really cute! ”

This is a shocking secret, even Luo Ronghuan on the side thinks that Liu Yimin is not talking nonsense with a fever!

Liu Yimin is still talking nonsense: "Wang Kemin wants to be a soldier or not, he is a big smoker and a patient with flower willow disease, I am not interested in him." But Qi Kuiyuan is different, he is the commander of the puppet North China Security Army. The last time our army captured Tianjin, after I evacuated Tianjin, I went to Beiping for two days, and I stayed at Qi Kuiyuan's house. Qi Kuiyuan, the old man, thought about arresting me and sending me to the Japanese army at the beginning, but later I was subdued, obediently served me tea and poured water, and the service was properly served, which was better than my wife serving me. Later, Qi Kuiyuan performed well, and the Japanese army swept three times, and Qi Kuiyuan sent out information at the most critical time. For example, this time when the Japanese army encircled and suppressed Shandong, I received information from Qi Kuiyuan when the Japanese army launched the previous one, took action in advance, quietly transferred troops to southwest Lu, and waited for the 38th Division to be deceived. To tell the truth, if it weren't for Qi Kuiyuan's intelligence, I might still be busy organizing ordinary people to conduct grassroots political elections in Lunan at this time! I'm afraid that Tada Jun never dreamed that our army would grasp the latest developments of the North China Front through Qi Kuiyuan. ”

Liu Yimin really made up a decent one, he gave the situation of Qi Kuiyuan's family the same, including the layout of the yard, the guards, and the room furnishings, all of which have noses and eyes, and even the eating habits of Qi Kuiyuan's family are clear, including what Qi Kuiyuan's wife and children look like, and he also roughly described it.

After descripting, Liu Yimin added: "These materials are top secret and must not be leaked. It can be published in the newspapers and periodicals of the base area, and cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders. Of course, this is also to encourage the determination of the army and the people to unite in the War of Resistance, so that everyone knows that those Han leaders and puppet soldiers are also trembling, vying to make meritorious contributions to the Eighth Route Army! ”

After talking about the devil, Liu Yimin expressed his views on the uproar of the official residence.

Liu Yimin believes that the root cause of such a tragedy as Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang shooting and wounding Chairman Chiang Kai-shek lies in Chiang Kai-shek's policy. This policy was to use the War of Resistance to consume the miscellaneous armies and local forces. Liu Yimin, now is the period of the Anti-Japanese War, the current enemy, no matter what kind of forces, we should give up the past suspicions and unite to resist the war. The change in the official residence is a tragedy, and dealing with the aftermath requires political wisdom. In Liu Yimin's view, Chairman Jiang should have a higher attitude, find more reasons from himself, and restore Zhang Xueliang's freedom as soon as possible. Zhang Xueliang himself should also deeply review and consciously safeguard the situation of unity and resistance to the war. In handling this matter, we must not be emotional, but must focus on the overall situation of uniting and resisting Japan.

After the conversation, Liu Yimin told Wang Pengju and asked the reporters to sort out and report today's conversation on the topic that the devil is a paper tiger. The part involving Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan was not electrified, but only published in the newspapers of the Shanxi and Shandong base areas, the sooner the better, and the Japanese army should get the newspapers in the sweep.

Wang Pengju looked at Liu Yimin's black jewel-like eyes, thinking in his heart whether the Japanese army would kill Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan if they got the content of today's conversation
