Chapter 719: Floating in the East China Sea
At noon on April 9, 1944, Beiping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mayor Ye, Commander-in-Chief Lu and Commander Yang Jingyu held a meeting to hand over the work of Beiping.
Mayor Ye worked in Wuhan and Chongqing from 1937 to 1941, and in 1947, he returned to Yan'an and officially served as the chief of staff of the 18th Group Army, where he has been working. He made many achievements in the construction of the staff system, education, military education, the formulation of a strategy for friction with the Kuomintang, and diplomacy. Now it is sent to North China and is in charge of the political side. North China, how important Beiping is, this is why he is in charge.
Historically, he had been working in Yan'an before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in peace negotiations and military coordination. Later, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party went to war, the central organs were divided into three, Mao and others stayed in Yan'an to attract Hu Zongnan's troops, Liu Zhu went to Hebei, and Ye and ****** went to the northwest of Jin.
Beginning in 1948, he began to work in North China, where he served as mayor until the peaceful liberation of Peking in 1949. At the end of 1949, he turned to South China, taking charge of Guangdong in 1950 and South China in 1951.
Now, his work in charge of Beiping has begun ahead of schedule.
April 11, 1944, in the northern part of the Shandong Peninsula, Laizhou Bay, offshore.
After the handover with Chief of Staff Ye at the small road, he took two guards, two staff officers, plus a secretary, that is, his wife, and quietly took a plane to Cangzhou Airport. Cangzhou had already prepared two jeeps and sent the group to the seaside.
There has long been a small boat waiting there on the beach in Cangzhou. After the group got into the dinghy, the motor of the dinghy roared and sailed towards the yellow Bohai Sea.
Since then, the trail has mysteriously disappeared from public view.
The dinghy has been waiting here for about half a month.
This dinghy was captured by the Japanese, and it was the first one captured by Koji. On that occasion, Xiaolu sent a few cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation to Yan'an, fought a battle off the coast of the Bohai Sea, and captured the patrol boat.
In the past, this small boat was used by Dalian to train technicians, but later, Dalian had more small boats and its own boats, so this old small boat was returned to the water guerrillas in southern Liaoning.
The whole territory of Northeast China was liberated, and this small boat belonged to the local coast guard force in southern Liaoning. Hearing that the trail was going to use a small boat, the coast guard transferred the small boat to the sea off Cangzhou.
Now, the captain is Zhang Laohan, the third father who is now called Zhang Haiyang, and he is also an old acquaintance of Xiaolu. Zhang Laohan is a good sailor, although he is a native of southern Liaoning, he is very familiar with the entire Bohai Sea, including the coastal areas of Hebei and the coastal areas of Shandong. He is also familiar with the weather rules, but he is not very good at using machines, and the chief engineer and first mate are both injured and retired from the navy, and they can use machines and repair machines.
The dinghy is small in tonnage, burns coal, is called a steamer, can only take thirty or forty people, is a patrol boat, can only cruise in the near sea, can not go to the open sea, the dinghy along the coast of the Bohai Sea to the south, walked for two or three hours, and arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River.
After crossing the mouth of the Yellow River, we arrived at the enemy-occupied area. The Eighth Route Army also developed a base here, but it was still an enemy-occupied area, and there were some bandits and some miscellaneous troops under the banner of Chongqing.
After the opening of the Huayuankou, the water of the Yellow River seizes the waterway of the Huai River and enters the sea from the Yellow Sea. The Bohai estuary here appears to be a relic, with no yellow water flowing in, sea erosion, and the estuarine coast receding a lot. Once the reeds on the shore arrived, the erosion stopped.
There is no yellow water here at the mouth of the Yellow River, especially in spring, when the water is a little blue. Close to the coast, there are still large silt beaches with large reeds.
It's spring, and the new reeds are budding, and the green sprouts can be seen at the roots of the old reeds, which are full of life. The temperature has warmed up quickly in the past two days, and even the sea breeze has warmed up.
Birds are constantly flying in the sky, big birds and small birds are flying everywhere, and white cranes and gray cranes are singing. Xue Rui was very happy to see it. When the guards saw this, they were overjoyed, and they wanted to take their guns and shoot a few. Xiao Lu hurriedly stopped and said, "These big birds are about to become extinct, let's not fight." ”
Guard: "Is there any problem with bird hunting?" ”
Xiaolu: "In the future, rare animals and plants will be protected. With a high level of protection, if poaching, there will be a felony. ”
Guard: "I don't understand. ”
Boot Rui: "Any animal has a strong relationship with humans. For example, when an animal dies, it's like the bolts on the plane we are flying on, falling one by one. So we need to protect animals and plants, especially rare animals and plants. ”
Zhang Laohan: "People still can't eat enough, protect animals?" ”
Xiaolu: "。。。。。 ”
Zhang Laohan walked into the cabin and said, "Commander-in-chief, we are about to dock, the shore is full of reeds for more than ten miles, and it is very safe." There was a guerrilla camp with several empty shacks. It's okay for you to recuperate there. Save the sea from being windy, which is not good for your health. ”
Xiaolu said: "Uncle Zhang, if you don't call me commander-in-chief, just call me the eldest nephew, Xiaolu, it's okay." ”
Zhang Laohan said: "Okay." Hey, a living bodhisattva-like person, who has done these good deeds, and ten thousand families have given birth to Buddhas, how can they get sick? He went out with a chattering voice.
Zhang Laohan's three sons, one was the captain of the regiment in Dalian, the other was the captain of the navy, and one had died a long time ago. Every time Xiaolu comes to southern Liaoning, as long as he inspects the people, he has to go to his house.
The wind in the reeds was much lighter, and the boat drove along a ditch into the reeds, stopping at a high ground.
There is a high ground in the middle of the reeds, surrounded by water, and on the shore are reeds, willows, and some miscellaneous trees on the high ground, and two thatched houses are located in the middle. This is a base for the guerrillas, and because of the expansion of the navy, most of the water guerrillas have joined the army, so it is idle.
The crew and guards immediately cleaned up the house, built toilets, caught fish and built stoves, and the staff officers set up the headquarters, and the antennas for the radio and radio were set up in the trees.
Zhang Laohan took a crew member to a pile of reeds at the back of the house, and peeled the reeds open, revealing a wooden boat inside. This is the boat left behind by the partisans. Zhang Laohan and his crew pushed the wooden boat into the water. Fishing, traffic, and transportation in the next few days will all depend on it.
Xiaolu watched them clean the wooden boat and said, "There's no fresh water here, right?" ”
Zhang Laohan: "There is fresh water in the high pond here, but it contains a lot of salt, and the water is a little bitter. We don't have much people on the beach, I'm afraid you won't get used to it. Let's clean this wooden boat, and we can go up the Yellow River to get water. ”
Xiaolu: "Isn't there a base near the mouth of the river?" I remember it was the 3rd Brigade of the Shandong Column. They have a base in Kenli. ”
Zhang Laohan: "Yes. Otherwise, would I have promised to let you rest here? Why do we say that we are safe here, that's the reason. ”
The house was repaired, and Zhang Laohan's fresh water was also retrieved. On the way back, they also fished, caught mussels, and loaded half of the cabin.
There were iron pots, bowls and chopsticks on the motor boat, an open-air stove made of sea mud had been built, and the dried yellow reeds were lit, and soon, the smell of boiled fish and shrimp wafted over.
The people on the boat, both men and women, make fish, and the fish they make is very simple and tastes very fragrant. The crowd rushed up and feasted.
It's really a fairy day.
The guard came over and said, "Commander, if we protect animals and animals, we won't have this meal." "I still remember this stubble.
On April 11, 1944, in the northern part of the Shandong Peninsula, Laizhou Bay, the mouth of the Yellow River.
Soon, the first telegram arrived, informing about the war situation in the Soviet Union.
Now, because Yan'an is involved in many international affairs, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and French resistance organizations all have close correspondence with Yan'an. All you need to do is listen to the telegram as if it were the radio.
That's how this Soviet war report came about.
The Soviets gathered 700,000 troops to attack Moscow, plus nearly a million partisans and logisticians, to attack the German army near Moscow. The Germans also amassed 1.5 million troops, including German troops, as well as some client state troops, to fight a decisive battle against the Soviet Union on this front.
Today's battle was that the Soviets repelled several more German attacks, until the Soviets broke through one of the German defensive lines and later withdrew under strong German resistance. There is also news that the Katyusha rocket artillery of the Soviet army carried out intensive bombardment of the logistics hub and a headquarters of the German army, inflicting heavy losses on the German army and burning a large amount of supplies.
In an exciting development, a small unit entered the city of Moscow and began street fighting with the Germans.
When Xiaolu left Beiping, the decisive battle of Moscow had already begun for more than ten days, and the news received in the morning when he was at sea was that there was a fierce battle, and the two sides fought repeatedly. The street fighting mentioned in this telegram is the greatest improvement.
In such a large-scale battle, which is an extremely important transportation hub and a symbolic political center, both sides will inevitably refuse to give up.
A staff officer said: "I feel that the situation on the battlefield in the Soviet Union is very good, and in about a few days, Moscow will be able to conquer it." ”
Another said: "I don't think so, but I'm afraid that the Battle of Stalingrad will be repeated." ”
Xiaolu said: "What you say has a point, it will not be as difficult as the Battle of Stalingrad, but it will not be too easy. Today, the situation has changed, the guerrillas behind enemy lines in the USSR are developing very well, the strength of the Soviet puppet army is further weakened, there are problems with the lines of communication of the German army, and there are no major problems with the lines of communication of the Soviet army. Gone are the days of that one-sided German superiority. I judge that the Soviet army will take a month or so at most to conquer Moscow. ”
A staff officer asked, "Why is it about a month?" ”
Xiaolu: "After a month, there will be great difficulties in the logistical supply of the German army. I had suggested that the Soviets send a few units to attack the German logistical supply lines. The Soviets took this proposal very seriously, and they did increase it. ”
Xue Rui said: "I think this battle is bound to be as tragic as the Battle of Stalingrad. ”
Xiaolu did not answer.
