Liu Yimin's assertion that the devils in Japan are all paper tigers is exactly the same as the historical assertion that "all reactionaries are paper tigers" in history, and they may think that Liu Yimin once again plagiarized the ideas of great men, but in fact this is not the case, and this is Liu Yimin's true experience since he went north to resist Japan for more than two years.

From the first battle of the northward resistance against Japan to the elimination of the main force of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army to the elimination of the main force of the 38th Division today, Liu Yimin's understanding of the Japanese army is very clear. The advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese army are all in Liu Yimin's mind! Although understanding does not mean that the army can be eliminated immediately, Liu Yimin is now more confident in ending the War of Resistance in advance, and he does not need to rely on the knowledge before the crossing, so he knows that if he continues to fight like this, the little devil will not be able to support it for a few years. Therefore, his assertion that "the devils are all paper tigers" comes entirely from his understanding of the little devils.

After talking to the reporters, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan met with the cadres of the Luxi Second Garrison Brigade, who were already waiting in line in the courtyard.

The 2nd Luxi Garrison Brigade, also known as the "Zhuxian Column," was formed on the basis of the 10th Detachment of the Fan Zhuxian Division under the leadership of our party, enriched with some of the backbone of the Red Army, and part of the original Fan Zhuxian Brigade, which was reorganized by our army. After the establishment of this unit, it has always insisted on being in the Luxi area, and this is the first time that it has been used as the main force and transferred to southwest Lu to fight with the southwest Lu garrison brigade.

After receiving the notice that Zhang Wan was receiving Liu and Luo, the cadres of the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade were boiling. Among them were the backbone of the Red Army, who had been sent from the main forces. Most people have never seen Liu and Luo since Liu Yimin led the main force eastward, and when they heard the chief's reception, their mood was naturally very excited. Not to mention those cadres who grew up in Luxi, that kind of expectation,

Hunger is clearly written on his face.

Wang Bingsan naturally knew that Liu Yimin's army was strictly disciplined, and after taking the cadres into the headquarters compound, he kept waiting in line. When Cai Zhong came out to talk to the cadres, Wang Bingsan asked the cadres to sit on the benches, small stools and wooden boards found by the soldiers of the guard regiment, and had a discussion with Director Cai.

When Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan came out, Wang Bingsan gave a command, and the cadres of the Luxi Garrison Brigade immediately stood up and lined up in a neat queue.

Only Wang Bingsan, Zhang Shuangzhi, and Zhang Weihan walked in front of Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan in accordance with the requirements of the drill code, and walked to Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan to "snap" and salute, and listened to Wang Bingsan's report: "Comrade Commander and Comrade Political Commissar: Wang Bingsan, commander of the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade, Zhang Shuangzhi, political commissar, and Zhang Weihan, chief of staff, were ordered to lead the cadres above the company level of the brigade to report for duty and accept the inspection of the chief. Please instruct! ”

After Liu Yimin returned the salute, he walked quickly to the cadres with a smile on his face, shook hands and said hello one by one, and asked the names of those cadres he didn't know, where his home was, and when he joined the army.

After the handshake, Liu Yimin beckoned the cadres to sit down again, and he also sat on a bench with Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, and began to talk with the soldiers.

Li Chang, Gao Yuan, Zhao Jie, and others, who were still clamoring to ask the commander to write to them, saw that the commander and political commissar had come out to discuss with the cadres of the Luxi Garrison Brigade, and they had no intention of asking for words, so they beckoned the regiment commanders and political commissars of their respective units to come up.

Liu Yimin did not ask Wang Bingsan and them to report on the situation of persisting in the struggle of Luxi, and those circumstances had already been reported clearly by telegram. Liu Yimin's main purpose was to have a discussion with these company commanders and battalion commanders and listen to their ideas, because a large part of these cadres were natives of Luxi and were more familiar with the situation than the cadres of the main force.

Although they were all looking forward to the meeting of Chief Liu and Luo, Chief Liu and Chief Luo really sat in front of them, and these men who came in blood and fire were restrained, and they sat there like puppets for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuangzhi stood up and encouraged: "Comrades, don't be afraid, don't you all dream of seeing Commander Liu and Political Commissar Luo?" You can say anything, and the commander and the commissar are here to listen to everyone.

Please speak up and say anything. )”

Wang Bingsan saw that the political commissar said something crepe, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he stood up and shouted: "What's the matter? Have you become a big girl? Don't look at your hands, the trigger is calloused, and you still want to take the embroidery needle? Who, the commander of the first battalion, don't you want to see the commander and the political commissar every day? Come on, you speak first! ”

Chen Yuzhao, the commander of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 2nd Luxi Garrison Brigade, was a veteran soldier of the 18th Red Regiment. How is it, is the wound still itchy on a rainy day? ”

When Chen Yuzhao heard this, he honestly reported: "Report to the commander, it's nothing when the rate is rated, and the wound is still itchy on rainy days." However, I'm thick-skinned and out of the way. ”

Liu Yimin beckoned: "You come to me, let me see if there is any big problem." ”

Chen Yuzhao was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to go up or not.

Wang Dahu, Zhao Dahe and others, who were standing outside the circle, coaxed and shouted: "Chen Xiaozi, hurry up!" I've been in Luxi for a long time, has I become a little daughter-in-law? ”

Chen Yuzhao is less than 1.60 meters tall, and his old comrades-in-arms call him Chen Xiaozi.

Chen Yuzhao's heart was crossed, and he raised his head and shouted: "Come forward, come forward, Lao Tzu is afraid of a ball?" Lao Tzu has already become a little daughter-in-law in Luxi, if he doesn't fight a few battles with the main army, the little ghost won't know his Grandpa Chen's name! Could it be that the commander still doesn't want me to be a short man? ”

After speaking, Chen Yuzhao jumped in front of Liu Yimin in a few steps and stood upright.

Liu Yimin saw that Chen Yuzhao's movements were so fast, he applauded in his heart, stood up and stretched out his hand to moat Chen Yuzhao's arms, shoulders, and belly carefully, and his hand used a little force.

Zhao didn't frown, knowing that the old wound was indeed no big deal, he said: "Okay, you Chen Dwarf, you know that I arrived in southwest Lu, and you don't invite me to eat a famous fried bun in southwest Lu, even a rabbit on the old road of the Yellow River is reluctant to send me, slam the door!" Picking the door, it's just picking the door to the extreme! I ask you, have you found a wife? ”

Chen Yuzhao's heart was hot, and he reported: "Report to the commander, I want to invite you to eat fried buns and roasted rabbits, but I don't dare, for fear of affecting your work." I don't have a wife, the girls think I'm short, and no one wants to follow me. I thought about it, I won't look for my mother-in-law in this life, so I will follow the commander to fight the devil, and when I will beat the devil away, it will not be too late for me to find my mother-in-law again. ”

Liu Yimin laughed: "What Chen Shorty? I see that you are a man who stands up to the sky!

Come, let the comrades see, what is a hero of the Red Army? ”

As he spoke, Liu Yimin ripped off Chen Yuzhao's shirt, lured out the scars on his abdomen, and shouted loudly to the cadres: "It's all clear to Lao Tzu, what is the elite of a hundred battles?" What is the Iron Army? Everyone looks at Chen Yuzhao carefully, every scar is the courage of the bear's heart, the combat experience, and the fearless heroism that overwhelms all enemies! Do you see clearly? There are bullets, shells, and bayonets, and every scar is a vicious battle, and every scar is a legend. Everyone, take a closer look! ”

Among these cadres, some of them are the backbone of the main forces such as the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, and the 3rd Brigade, and they are very familiar with Chen Yuzhao's situation, and some of them have more scars on their bodies than Chen Yuzhao. There are also some cadres who grew up from Luxi, because there are the main forces such as the Second Brigade, the New Second Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade, the Second Brigade of the Luxi Garrison rarely has the opportunity to fight viciously on the battlefield, at most, they insisted on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines when the Japanese army swept away the DNG with heavy troops, and under the command of a commander born in guerrilla warfare in the Red Army like Wang Bingsan, these cadres have not experienced the pain of being forced to retreat and transfer after losing a battle.

Liu Yimin pulled Chen Yuzhao. From the northeast to the southwest, let the cadres see the scars on Chen Yuzhao's body clearly, and then shouted: "My Shandong Eighth Route Army was born from the Red Eighteenth Regiment that shocked the enemy, the Central Guard Division was born from the Central Guard Division, and the Red Seventh Army was born from the Red Seventh Army that shocked the enemy!" The little devil doesn't know the strength of our army, and he dares to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress our army, he simply doesn't know how to write the dead word! Comrades, look at Chen Yuzhao's scars, everyone said, are we afraid of the heavy encirclement and suppression of the little devils? ”

At this moment, all the cadres present exploded and shouted: "Don't be afraid!" ”

Liu Yimin nodded with satisfaction, and then buttoned Chen Yuzhao's clothes one by one, pulled Chen Yuzhao to turn to everyone, and said: "Everyone can see clearly, in my Shandong Eighth Route Army, like Chen Yu,

There are thousands of heroes like Zhao who crawled out of the pile of dead. No, hundreds or more.

With such an army of soldiers, the world is invincible! The little devil wants to destroy us, that's a fool's dream! We must not only defeat the Japanese army in Shandong, but also defeat all the Japanese troops that have invaded China, defeat all the enemies, and create a new and red China. Comrades, do you have confidence? ”

The cadres responded violently: "Yes! ”

Zhang Shuangzhi took advantage of the situation and waved his arms and led everyone to shout: "Down with the imperialism of Japan!" "Drive the devils out of China!"

After the cadres finished shouting the slogan, Liu Yimin said to everyone with a smile: "Gang, Chen Yuzhao said that he is short, and no girl can take a fancy to him." I told the comrades that the real hero does not lie in his height, but in his loyalty to the party, to the country, to the nation, and to whether he can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! In my eyes, Chen Xiaozi is a hero who stands up to the sky. Such heroes are our pride and the objects of the girls' love.

Everyone is a witness, I want to protect the media for Chen Xiaozi. Chen Xiaozi, when your eldest sister Tang comes back from the Soviet Union, I will ask her to introduce you to the object, and I will protect the media. I want to drink your joyful wine, lead people to make trouble in your cave room, and watch you fight for the motherland, for the nation, and for a happy life! ”

Chen Yuzhao's eyes flashed together, and he shouted loudly: "Please Commander watch my actions!" ”

At this moment, the cadres present were in high spirits by Liu Yimin, and they scrambled to raise their hands and shout the report, demanding to speak.

Cai Zhong saw that there were many occasions for Liu Yimin to agitate, and he was not surprised at all, so he stood up and let Chen Yuzhao sit back in his seat, and then said: "Comrades, the commander and the political commissar took time out to discuss with everyone just to hear what everyone thought in their hearts. If you have anything to say, the commander and political commissar are not to blame, and I would like to ask you to put forward your own thoughts and suggestions on the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong and the construction of the base areas. ”

A company commander was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take his turn, so he stood up and shouted a report.

Liu Yimin nodded and motioned for him to speak.

The company commander reported: "Commander, with the strength of our army, it is completely possible to keep the Luxi base area from being lost. It was a base area that we had been operating for two years, and as soon as the main force was transferred, the little devils made the base area miserable. I want to report to the commander, can you concentrate the main force to eliminate Lu Xi's devils as soon as possible and keep our base area? ”

Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Brother comrade, I don't want the little devils to invade our base area.

But there is no way, the little devil is menacing, there is a group of machines in the sky, and there are elite mechanized divisions on the ground, if we fight hard, we will have to suffer a big loss. There is only one ending, that is, the troops are lost, and the base area is also lost. This principle is called the loss of people, the loss of people, the loss of people, the loss of people, the loss of people, the survival of people. Got it? ”

The company commander said: "I understand the truth, the regiment commander and the political commissar have spoken several times. But I just felt uncomfortable when I thought that the Japanese army had occupied the base area, and I was afraid that when I saw the villagers again, I would not have the face to see them. ”

The vast majority of the cadres and soldiers of the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade are standard Luxi children, and they have deep feelings for the Luxi Plain!

The smile on Liu Yimin's face disappeared, pondered for a while, and said softly: "I can understand the feelings of the comrades. I also know that the losses in the base area are very large, and the villagers are looking forward to the main force as much as they are looking forward to frost. However, we can't be emotional, this is the cruel little devils of the War of Resistance who can run rampant in China, and that is determined by their strength. At the moment, in the face of the devil's heavy army group, it is inevitable that we will pay some price. However, we have to look at the problem from both positive and negative aspects: on the one hand, the little devils occupy our base area, and we have suffered great losses: on the other hand, the little devils occupy Luxi, and it is inevitable to divide the troops to guard them, so that we can create opportunities for each of us to defeat the devils.

Do you think that if the little devil wants to occupy Luxi, he must divide his troops to garrison the county seat and market town, and set up strongholds and sentry posts on the highway line, isn't this a target for us? Besides, Luxi has a complete tunnel network, and the little devils can't help us, don't look at the fact that they now occupy Luxi on the surface, in fact, Luxi is still firmly controlled by our army. Once the Japanese heavy army group withdrew, the remaining devils would soon shrink their defensive lines under the blows of our troops, until they were finally eliminated or driven out by us.

Therefore, the temporary loss of the base area is to lay the foundation for the complete defeat of the little devils in the future.

Comrade brother, have you figured it out? ”

As soon as the company commander sat down, a cadre stood up and reported: "Report to the commander, political commissar, I am Su Tingxiu, deputy instructor of the second company of the ninth battalion of the third regiment of the second brigade of the Luxi garrison. I have reported to the commander and political commissar about the construction of a base area, that is, the Huidaomen forces in southwestern Shandong are very serious. Among them, the most powerful are the Red Gun Society and Wuji Dao. These leaders were very cunning, and when the Japanese army came, some of the leaders of the Red Gun Society openly became Han Jiān, and some secretly colluded with the devils and became accomplices of the devils. When the Eighth Route Army was powerful, those leaders pretended to support the anti-Japanese resistance, so we couldn't start. Should we make a decree prohibiting the development of guild doors in the territory? Please consider it to the commander and political commissar. ”

As soon as Liu Yimin heard this, he said to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong: "The problem reflected by Deputy Instructor Su is very important. Not only in southwest Shandong, but also in northwest Shandong, southern Shandong, and Jinan.

It is necessary to enact a decree to solve the problem of the sect. However, this problem cannot be publicly announced to ban it now, and it will have to wait until the end of the Japanese army's heavy army group sweep DNG. ”

Luo Ronghuan replied that in fact, this problem no longer exists in the central base areas of western Luxi, southeastern Lu, and Taiyi, and that the problem of Huidaomen in southwestern Lu, northwestern Lu, southern Lunan, and Jinan can only be resolved when the situation improves. Now, if it is explicitly banned, they can only be pushed into the arms of the Japanese army.

Liu Yimin nodded and motioned to continue speaking.

Another cadre stood up, and he reported on the issue of monogamy in the base areas. It is said that the anti-Japanese government implements self-reliance, marriage, and monogamy, but many landlords in the Luxi base area have little wives, or even several little wives. On the one hand, the poor people can't afford to beat their daughters-in-law and beat the singles, and on the other hand, the landlord Lao Cai occupies several women, and the landlord Lao Cai who has a small wife should be forced to divorce and let those women remarry.

Another cadre reported that now that due to the establishment of the Jicha Theater by the Kuomintang, Lu Zhonglin has led a group of miscellaneous troops to southern Hebei, and the tentacles of activities have extended to Luxi and Jizhong. These people were not active in resisting Japan, but they were very active in distributing grain and money. Don't look at Lu Zhonglin as a bare-bones commander, no one can command him, but some people use his signboard to pull the team. Can we follow the pattern of the Linyi Incident in Lunan and drive Lu Zhonglin's Jicha Theater to Henan. I don't expect them to fight devils anyway.

One cadre reported that his family had several hundred acres of land and a business shop. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, all the brothers in the family participated in the 10th detachment, and later became the Eighth Route Army. The last time the Japanese army swept the DNG, two younger brothers died. However, the old father wrote to say that the village had reduced the rent and interest at the second to five, and the family's rent was much less. The old father couldn't figure it out, his son was carrying a gun to fight devils, and his two sons were still sacrificed on the battlefield, so why did he have to reduce rent and interest? The old father also said that isn't fighting devils just to keep his property? Don't be a devil in the Eighth Route Army in the end, fight back and forth, and lose all your property.!
