Located to the east of Rizhao City, Shijiu is a small seaport between Qingdao and Lianyungang on the shore of the Yellow Sea. In fact, it is a bow-shaped bay formed by the mouth of the stone mortar and the mouth of Kuishan about three or five nautical miles to the southwest.

Shijiu was originally just a small fishing village, and there are two theories about the source of the village, one is that in the Song Dynasty, there were fishermen who wandered in the ocean to stop at the southeast corner of the headland to tie the cable, and went ashore to eat rice, forming a number of mortar-shaped stone pits, so it is called "Shijiu"; Another theory is that the Song Dynasty Yue Fei general Li Bao broke the golden queen to garrison here, and named it after the "stone mortar" pestle rice. However, Shijiu Village became Shijiu in the early Ming Dynasty, when in order to prevent the Japanese from landing and harassing, the imperial court set up a "Thousand Households Reserve" in Shijiu Village, which was originally called Shijiu.

After the reopening of the sea ban in the eighteenth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the merchant ships departing from Shijiu could already go directly to the island of Taiwan.

After the Germans occupied Jiaozhou Bay, the Germans brought in steamers from Shijiu, bringing foreign goods, grain, peanut oil and other specialties of southeast Shandong. When the Japanese replaced the Germans and occupied Qingdao, there were irregular flights from Qingdao to Shijiusuo.

Before the Lugou Bridge Incident, He Ren'an, president of the Shijiu Chamber of Commerce, was the largest private shipping owner in North China, owning more than a dozen steamships, and had the "Changji Steamship Company Headquarters" at the intersection of Shanghai Road and Guantao Road in Qingdao, and branches in Tianjin and Shanghai, engaged in the maritime transportation industry. At that time, Shijiu became a small trading port, exporting nearly 7 million quintals of goods and importing more than 12 million quintals of goods every year.

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army plotted to capture Qingdao, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered Shen Honglie to carry out a scorched earth war of resistance, and the shipwreck blocked the channel of Qingdao Port. He Ren'an actively responded to Shen Honglie's call, sank seven of his ten steamships, took the lead in blocking the waterway, and "Changji Steamship Company Headquarters", retreated with Shen Honglie, and organized anti-Japanese forces in the area of Shijiu.

The reason why He Ren'an listened to Shen Honglie's words so much was because he was friendly with Shen Honglie, and Shen Honglie had helped him a lot. In September 1931, more than 1,000 people from Liu Hei's Seven Bandits fled to the vicinity of the Shijiu Institute and set up camp, preparing to capture the Shijiu Institute that he had coveted for a long time. He Ren'an had no choice but to ask Shen Honglie, who was in charge of Qingdao, for help, Shen Honglie sent a warship to Shijiu, just the light when the warship arrived at night scared Liu Heiqi stupidly, hugged his head and ran away. Since then, I have known that He Ren'an and Shen Honglie have a great friendship, and they no longer dare to fight the idea of Shijiu. After the siege was lifted, He Ren'an took the money from the merchants of Shijiu and went to Qingdao to thank Shen Honglie, but he didn't think that Shen Honglie would confiscate a penny, and kept lamenting that the country was incompetent, which led to banditry. After He Ren'an returned, the people of Shijiu were grateful for Shen Honglie's kindness and honesty, and they could not repay it, so they raised funds to build a navigation beacon lighthouse on the southeast corner of Shijiuzui, which is surrounded by water on all sides and is higher than the surrounding rocky reef. The tower is 13.7 meters high and has eight sides and eight corners. The coordinates are: 35°2254'N, 119°3324'E. One is to navigate the ships sailing at night, and the other is to always remember Shen Honglie's kindness.

After the Japanese army occupied Shijiu, there were three headquarters in Shijiu, the marines of the navy were stationed outside the south gate, the army was stationed in the northwest gate, and the military police headquarters was stationed in the south of the intersection and the west of the road. The little devils also built a trestle and four large warehouses, and organized a labor department, which was divided into two types: sampan laborers, who were in charge of loading and unloading from the ship to the dock, and warehouse laborers, who were in charge of loading and unloading from the warehouse to the dock.

Since the Eighth Route Army regained southeast Shandong, Shijiu has become an important aquatic base in the southeast of Shandong, and the fish, shrimp, kelp, and so on produced on the sea are all loaded with unique wheelbarrows in southeast Shandong from Shijiu, squeaky and squeak, and pushed to all parts of southeast Shandong, southern Lunan and central Lu, enriching the base market.

On February 10, 1941, the Lantern Festival, Liu Yimin drove to Shijiu.

That night, the stone mortar was full of joy. Lanterns are lit in front of the merchants. Children and young people lingered in front of the lantern riddle stalls, busy guessing lantern riddles. On the stage of the public office by the sea, a big opera was sung, gongs and drums were noisy, and strings were melodious. The stalls around the theater shouted pickled dried fish, melon seeds, and fried peanuts, making the harbor town of Shijiu, a harbor town of more than 3,000 people, more and more lively.

After Liu Yimin rushed to the Shijiu Institute, he briefly freshened up, ate a mouthful of food, and enjoyed the night view of the Shijiu Institute under the escort of Guo Zihua, secretary of the Ludongnan District Party Committee, Wang Nanhu, commander of the 12th Corps, and Tang Liang, political commissar of the 12th Corps.

The sea at night seems so deep, the sound of waves crashing on the shore comes one after another, and the lights of the town and the lights of the fishing boats in the harbor complement each other, which is a good night view of the harbor.

Liu Yimin stood under the lighthouse in front of the Dragon King Temple, the sea breeze blowing his military coat, sending one or two pieces of crystal snowflakes into his chest.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow is lit up, and I don't know what kind of scene it will be like for the hexagonal snowflakes to hit the heart of this young general!

Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, and Tang Xiuer, who had just been tamed by Liu Yimin, visited the Dragon King Temple at night with flashlights, and laughter kept coming.

Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman were able to accompany them, because Liu Yimin felt sorry for them and wanted them to come and see the beautiful scenery by the sea. Tang Xiu'er is Liu Yimin had to take her with her, Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu have not yet returned to the Dadian Headquarters, and no one in the Eighth Route Army Headquarters is the opponent of Tang Xiu'er, who is skilled in martial arts, although she has now shown her loyalty, but Liu Yimin still has to bring her along, because her loyalty takes time and war to test. Especially Xiao Dongjin, who was held hostage by him, went to his mother's waist to drag the pistol when he saw her, Liu Yimin couldn't take her or not, and he couldn't pass Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong. In Cai Zhong's words, No. 1 can take her wherever he wants, the farther away the better, and it is best to let her never come back.

Wang Nanhu pointed to the terrain around the stone mortar in the night and introduced it to Liu Yimin: "Commander, there is Lingshan Island in the northeast of this stone mortar, there are Silk Mountain, Gong Mountain, and Chengshan Mountain in the northwest, Kui Mountain in the southwest, and Lanshan Mountain in the southwest. The coast is long and shallow, and the foundations of the mountains and the sea are granite. It is said that after the Great Kansai Earthquake in Japan, a lot of granite was transported from here to Tokyo to work on construction. Later, it was stopped because the cost was too high and the cost was too large. Compared with Qingdao and Lianyun, there are not so steep reefs on the coast here, and it is actually a good port that can be developed facing the vast Yellow Sea. ”

Guo Zihua continued: "No. 1, because of the Yanshi Highway leading directly to Yanzhou and the southbound highway of Qingdao, the strategic position is very important, and the status of the trade route is also very important. ”

Xiang Ying, third secretary of the Shandong Bureau and deputy political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, who accompanied Liu Yimin, asked Guo Zihua in detail when the news of the fish here was.

Guo Zihua replied that from April to December every year, it is all the fish news season, and the main fish are saury, prawns, octopus, sea bass, swim bladder, shark fin and so on.

Then, Guo Zihua introduced to Liu Yimin and Xiang Ying: "This stone mortar is a granite stone head city. The walls are 1,500 meters long and 8 meters high, and they are all made of granite, and even the pavement of the streets is paved with granite. This is probably the only one of its kind in the country. Shijiu is divided into two parts: inside the city and outside the city, there are four districts in the city, such as Taiping Street, Baoan Street, Xuanfu Street, and Gong'an Street, with district offices, and there are many small alleys outside the city. There are no two-story buildings in the whole city, all of them are bungalows and ridged houses, and most of the roof beams are made of wood, and some mud is added to the sorghum poles, and the top is covered with tiles or grass, and the outer layer of the wall is made of granite, and the inner layer is plastered with mud. The courtyard is large, and there are usually halls, storage rooms, kitchens, etc. The doors of each house face south, which is convenient for protection against northwest and seasonal winds in winter, but the windows in each house are small, and the lighting and ventilation are poor. ”

Xiang Ying nodded when he listened, and praised Guo Zihua for his careful work, solid work, and thorough situation.

Standing on the beach of Shijiusuo in the night, Liu Yimin seemed to see a little white sail sailing towards the port accompanied by seagulls, and a sense of tenderness involuntarily surged in his heart, regardless of whether the sea was cold or not, he took off his shoes and socks and walked towards the beach. Xiang Ying, Guo Zihua, Wang Nanhu, Tang Liang and others behind him all exclaimed in surprise and called him back.

Walking on the beach, stepping on the soft and cold biting sand, Liu Yimin's heart was like turning over the river and the sea. The sea in this small harbor was shallow, and the large Japanese warships could not get close, so they could only transport infantry to land by landing craft and motorboats. At low tide, Japanese infantry could also wade ashore. This kind of unique condition is very rare, as long as a heavy artillery regiment, a rocket artillery regiment, and an air defense regiment are stationed here, the port security can be protected. Our army can bury its head in building large wooden sailing ships here, and then withdraw the Qingdao fleet here to hide it, and in the future, we can organize a fleet, and if we are lucky enough to let Ni Hua rent or buy some warships from the United States, then we will have a certain strength, and strive to transport the troops of one brigade or even one column at a time to the northeast or south to Taiwan, and the Japanese army will unknowingly give it a surprise attack and attack it off guard.

You must know that in history, after the main force of the Kwantung Army was transferred to the Pacific Theater in 1943, the Kwantung Army became an empty shelf, and the strength of the Kwantung Army increased again after 1943.

The strength of the Japanese army in Taiwan was even weaker, and at this time, the mixed brigade of the Taiwan army had been expanded into the 48th Division, which was fighting in South China. In addition to the garrison troops, the Taiwanese army does not even have a decent field force. If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese army had not yet launched the Pacific War at this time, and the navy was too strong, Liu Yimin even thought that he could transport a column to attack and occupy the island of Taiwan.

It was already the early spring of 1941, and the Japanese army would next concentrate on frantically attacking the squadron in order to lay the foundation for them to move south. The fleet remaining in Qingdao is in danger, and Hong Kong Island is also in danger, so it is necessary to evacuate the fleet in Qingdao and the scholars who remain in Hong Kong.

Liu Yimin thought while walking on the coast, and couldn't help it for a while, and he actually looked up to the sky and roared.

His long howl alarmed Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman, who were playing in the Dragon King Temple. When I ran out, I saw that Liu Yimin's shadow on the beach at night was extremely blurry, and I couldn't see him at all.

Tang Xingying panicked, shouted and ran towards the beach.

After Liu Yimin finished howling, his heart was happy, and he began to turn his head and walk back. In the distance, I heard Tang Xingying's crying shout mixed with the sound of the wind and the waves, and when I looked at it again, the stupid girl's flashlight was swaying in the night, and I knew that Tang Xingying was worried about herself and chased after her.

Liu Yimin ran and ran as fast as he could. When I came to see it, Tang Xingying's eyes were full of tears, her lips were blue, her leather boots were filled with seawater, and her cotton pants were half wet.

Panicked, Liu Yimin picked up Tang Xingying, took off her small leather boots and the military shoes she was carrying in her hands, tied them with shoelaces and put them on her shoulders, wrung the water under her cotton military pants, and then took her into his arms, wrapped her in a military coat, and returned to the Dragon King Temple.

When he was resting at night, Liu Yimin blamed Tang Xingying for being ignorant, how could a lesbian be casually immersed in cold water, in case she fell ill, it was not a trick!

Tang Xingying sat in the quilt, holding ginger soup in her hand, and whispered: "Ni Hua and the two of you can't come back, I know that you feel uncomfortable, and I'm afraid that you will be confused again." This sea is not comparable to a small river, if you fall into it in a daze, will I and the children not be able to live? ”

Tang Xingying's heartfelt words turned the proud Liu Yimin into a tender and watery infatuation!

Early the next morning, Liu Yimin inspected the secret military port built by Guo Zihua in Shijiu, and then held a military meeting in Shijiu, announcing the establishment of the Eighth Route Army's Shandong Military Region Naval School and coastal defense detachment to be stationed in Shijiu.

Zhu Rui concurrently served as the principal and political commissar of the naval academy and the commander and political commissar of the coastal defense detachment, and Zhou Zijian, the vice principal and deputy commander of the detachment, was sent to work in the Qingdao merchant fleet.

Liu Yimin has already reported to the Central Committee that Zhu Rui will soon return to Shandong and shoulder the heavy responsibility of forming the Eighth Route Army Navy.

The first batch of cadets of the naval school were selected and transferred from various units of our army in Shandong, and the conditions were a high degree of Chinese, party members, and a certain foundation in English and Japanese. From the second session, it will be open to students from all over the country. The instructors were selected from among the retired U.S. Navy instructors recruited by Ni Hua from the United States to supplement Shen Honglie's former Northeast Naval School stragglers.

The coastal defense detachment was expanded on the basis of the Maritime Garrison of the Southeastern Shandong Military Region, the Maritime Independent Regiment of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, the Merchant Marine Fleet in Qingdao, and the An Tinggeng Division of the Shandong Security Regiment, which was developed by the former Third Fleet Teaching Team of the Navy on Liugong Island.

Historically, the Anting Geng Department surrendered under the high pressure of the Japanese puppet, and was later wiped out by our Jiaodong troops. Now, because Liu Yimin had long wanted to form a coastal defense force, he ordered the Jiaodong Military Region to send people to continue to do An Tinggeng's work, and An Tinggeng's department joined our army.

Among these troops, in addition to the 1,500 men of the Ludong Military Region's Maritime Garrison, the other Hebei-Shandong Maritime Independent Regiment and the Antingeng Division have very few personnel, all of them are about 500 people, and they need to replenish troops and equipment in the southeastern part of Shandong.

Dear book friends: Vote a lot! The mountain people's hearts were panicked. I beg you!
