Several people discussed and went at the staff office, but before they knew it, it was already dark.

Liu Yimin remembered one more thing, so he asked Luo Ronghuan if the central government had designated the party and government leaders of Jinan City?

Luo Ronghuan replied: "No." The central government clearly replied that the Shandong Bureau would determine the candidates, and at the same time requested that it be quickly announced in the name of Liu Yimin, the head of the teaching department. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yimin pondered for a long time, and then asked Chiang Kai-shek if the Central Committee knew about the telegram?

Luo Ronghuan said that it had been sent to the central government.

Liu Yimin took off his military cap, put it on the table, scratched his head with his hands, and said: "Chiang Kai-shek will not let us establish political power, and the chairman wants us to immediately announce the appointment. After the occupation of Tianjin, I was the mayor, and Qingdao was Chen Dayong as the acting mayor. Among them, only Shaanxi has now become our real base, and the team equipped with it is also really considered from the perspective of long-term development. In my opinion, the team of Jinan City should also consider from the perspective of long-term development. Shandong Province now has Shen Honglie, the chairman appointed by Chiang Kai-shek, in his hands, and it is difficult for us to publicly announce the candidate for the chairman of Shandong Province. This Jinan City, the mayor of the Kuomintang has long run away from his mother, and we announce that the appointment is justified. Since the central authorities want us to appoint them, it will not be good to resign. Now we have a lot of talented people, and many comrades are up to the task. In consideration of the external influence, my opinion is that Comrade Cai Zhong should be appointed secretary of the Jinan Municipal Party Committee and mayor, and at the same time concurrently serve as the political commissar of the Jinan Garrison District, so as to lead the anti-Japanese struggle in Jinan in a unified manner. Of course, only Cai Zhong, director of the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, was announced as the mayor of Jinan, and the other two positions were not announced. ”

Zeng Zhongsheng pointed out that it had just been made clear that Director Cai and him were working together to reorganize the armament war, and this task was very heavy, and as soon as Director Cai left, he was a little struggling alone.

Liu Yimin thought for a while and said, "Director Cai doesn't leave, the director of his political department still has to do it, but he is just a little tired and less intimate with Ren Ying's sister-in-law a few times." If you are really busy, let Cheng Cuilin, the political commissar of the First Brigade, assist you, he is the deputy director of the Political Department, and this is what he should do. Teaching the first brigade to have a plateau, and he just needs to take care of it. ”

Cai Zhong didn't expect Liu Yimin to propose to make him the mayor of Jinan, and said in a whisper: "Division commander, this Jinan City is the capital of Shandong Province, and it has a great influence. Is it better to think about it again and choose a comrade with stronger ability and qualifications, which is conducive to work? ”

Liu Yimin snorted and laughed: "Don't be modest." Are you not old enough and not strong enough? Think about it, from the beginning of the formation of the Sharp Knife Company of the 34th Red Division, to our instructor of the Eighth Route Army and the Shandong Military Region today, what kind of merit have you made? There may be comrades who are older and have higher positions than you when they were in the Soviet District, but looking at our powerful instructors today, do anyone dare to say that they are older and have made great contributions than you? When it comes to Cai Zhong, director of the Political Department of the instructor, not only the trust of the Central Committee, the affirmation of the General Headquarters, the thumbs up of the leaders, and the support of the cadres and soldiers, but also the people of the Nationalist Government who want to give a thumbs up and the Japanese army is eager to get rid of them, you are probably also among the top few. You will be the mayor of Jinan, Chiang Kai-shek knows, and he can only be angry. Okay, let's get ready to take office, let the radio station in Jinan announce it to the public this evening, and tomorrow the public daily and all newspapers will announce it on the front page. You should think about what the fresh mayor of Jinan said to the citizens, promised something, and did those things well."

After thinking about it, Liu Yimin said again: "The Jinan Garrison Area is concurrently served by the Sixth Brigade of Jiao, and they are the main force and have combat missions at any time. You first bring the third battalion of guards with you, and be the guard unit of the Jinan Municipal Government, and also your guard force. Pay attention to safety, Jinan has just been liberated, and there are many hidden Japanese puppet spies, so you must bring enough guards wherever you go. Can't be careless."

Cai Zhong stood up and saluted, saying that he promised to complete the task.

Only then did Liu Yimin confess: "After all, Chiang Kai-shek sent that telegram, and we can't leave him with an excuse for violating military orders and government orders." Add a code when announcing to the public, acting mayor. Send a report to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, and ask Vice Chairman Zhou to make a formal report to the National Government. I estimate that Chiang Kai-shek will approve the report after it goes up. Even if he does not approve it for the time being, he will not appoint the mayor of Jinan again. ”

Luo Ronghuan nodded and said that this was more appropriate.

Li Chengyi came in to urge the chiefs to eat, saying that they had improved their lives today and added meat dishes, and if they went late, the soldiers had eaten all the dishes.

Liu Yimin knew that Ni Hua had arrived in Jinan, and his heart had long been lively. After finishing this busy work, I couldn't sit still anymore, and my mind was full of Ni Hua's beautiful figure. Where will he eat at the division headquarters, he opened his mouth and said that he would go to the field hospital to visit the wounded, and he would not eat dinner at the division headquarters, and asked Luo Ronghuan to sit in the division headquarters and handle all affairs, and told Zeng Zhongsheng to urge the Luxi Garrison Brigade and the Taixi Group to make combat preparations at night and strictly prevent the sneak attack of the little devils. The 2nd Division of the Little Devils on the Northern Front and the 14th Division of the Little Devils on the Southern Front are both masters who are good at sneak attacks, and they are surprisingly bold, so they can't be caught off guard.

Who are Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng, what Liu Yimin wants to do is written on his face, how can these people not understand the reason?

If this had been placed before, I am afraid that Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong would not have let Liu Yimin go to see Ni Hua. But since Ni Hua was taken away by Song Meiling last time and the chairman criticized them, although the two of them knew that Liu Yimin was swaying left and right in love, it was extremely wrong, but there was no good way to deal with this problem. In addition, Ni Hua is indeed very good, he rushed back from the United States thousands of miles away, and even when he returned to Wuhan, he was also devoted to the Anti-Japanese War, and he was a good son. Therefore, I watched Liu Yimin leave the division and leave.

The reason why Cai Zhong encouraged Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing to come to the division to visit Liu Yimin was that he wanted to dilute Liu Yimin's feelings for Ni Hua.

Seeing Liu Yimin's anxious and hurried appearance when he went out, Cai Zhong's enthusiasm that was instigated by Liu Yimin just now turned into depression, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Luo Ronghuan's face was so heavy that he was about to wring out the water, and he also sighed.

Zeng Zhongsheng also had a lover who was infatuated with each other, and now life and death are boundless, and love is like passing water.

Seeing Liu Yimin leaving, Zeng Zhongsheng's thoughts were very complicated, and he said casually: "The war is raging, human life is like grass, bullets don't grow eyes, there is no tomorrow today, what a happy thing it is to be with the woman you love." The division commander is a big hero, and Ni Hua and Tang Xingying are good daughters. Including Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing and the sacrificed Chen Yaoguang, which one is not a good girl who is Bingqing Yujie, sincere, and dedicated to the country? Whatever, the whole country and the whole world know that Ni Hua is the wife of the division commander, and it is not easy to meet, if the division commander pretends to ignore her seriously, then he is not a man and will be looked down upon"

Luo Ronghuan looked at Zeng Zhongsheng and said carefully: "Last time, the chairman criticized us, and he was right. But let me think about it, the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army cannot be trampled on, and the Communist Party's advocacy must be fulfilled by its own party members. The division commander is an anti-Japanese hero and the supreme leader of our party and our army in Shandong, and he must set an example for the whole party and the whole army in his deeds. Although the love between men and women is a voluntary matter for both parties, outsiders cannot interfere. But Chiang Kai-shek just slapped us in the mouth, how many pairs of eyes were staring at the division commander, at this time the division commander was on the cusp, and the slightest carelessness would be exaggerated by the enemy and misunderstood by the comrades. There are some things that we still have to strictly restrain ourselves, and it is not good if we do them, violating discipline is a problem, having a bad impact on cadres and fighters is another problem, and being sorry for loving our wives and children is even more of a problem. Thinking about Tang Xingying's mother and son rushing here with a meal and sleeping in the open, not to mention Tang Xingying, how the teacher coaxes her and persuades her, it is a matter for their husband and wife. It's just that Xiao Zhenghe doesn't know his father's thoughts, I'm afraid that he is calling his father in his dreams at night."

When Luo Ronghuan said this, Cai Zhong and Zeng Zhongsheng were stunned.

After a long time, Cai Zhongcai said, "I'll call him back", turned around and was about to go out.

Luo Ronghuan shouted to him and said, "Forget it, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go." The division commander is not stupid, he will have a way to deal with these things. Let him be fresh first."

Zeng Zhongsheng hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Political commissar, maybe we think things are too complicated and serious. At the mention of Chiang Kai-shek, I can't wait to arrest him. But Ni Hua is different from Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, she is not only a young man who is enthusiastic about saving the country, but also a loyal soldier of the Eighth Route Army. It turns out that her love for her teacher can stand the test. Not to mention anything else, she was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek's spies in Hong Kong, and she did not disclose the information on the materials and personnel she brought back, and returned the cargo ship safely to our army. I admire her as a girl, such a beautiful and extremely talented girl, how difficult it is to do this. What else do we need from her? ”

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were silent, and sat there as if petrified.

Zeng Zhongsheng said to himself again: "If this matter is left in the national army, it will not be the same thing at all. As far as I know, the fighters of our troops have great admiration and adoration for the division commander, including his love. Under normal circumstances, the charisma of the commander-in-chief of a unit can lead to the improvement of cohesion and combat effectiveness. Think about it, even Song Meiling's cousin loves the division commander, how glorious it is to say that it is now the period of resistance against Japan, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate, most of those new soldiers who joined the army do not have the bitter hatred of Chiang Kai-shek in the old Red Army, and the appearance of Ni Hua is more conducive to our expansion of the army, to our work of all strata in Shandong, not to mention to help us win international aid. Besides, Ni Hua is not an ordinary person, she is the red bodhisattva in the hearts of the soldiers. Hearing the news of her return, I am afraid that the soldiers were very happy in their hearts, especially the wounded comrades, and they had a little more hope of recovery in their hearts. ”

Cai Zhong muttered: "I know everything you said, and I also know that Ni Hua is a good girl, and she is a good match for the teacher." But our army's discipline does not allow polygamy, Tang Xingying is so good, and has two children, can we watch them separate? ”

Zeng Zhongsheng smashed his mouth, and said for a long time: "The teacher is a man of temperament, even if he doesn't want a wife, he won't want children." Tang Xingying is the daughter-in-law he is marrying, and the whole party and the whole army know it, how could he say that if he doesn't want it, he won't want it? Ni Hua is Mrs. Liu Yimin, who is recognized by the whole world, and he can't help but admit it. It's a hassle from start to finish. I think we shouldn't deliberately discipline the teacher, don't say anything to anyone, just don't know or see, and let time decide everything. It's to take care of it, and that's also the chairman's business. After the division commander returns to Xi'an, it will be up to the chairman to see how they deal with it. ”

Luo Ronghuan said: "Chief of Staff, what you said earlier is a new situation, which is worth studying. Isn't what is said later the same as not being said? You have to do what you said later, no matter if you don't ask, then what kind of cadres and soldiers do you have to discipline are like division commanders, and everyone has a few wives, can this army still fight? ”

Zeng Zhongsheng pouted: "You should be as charming as a teacher?" Aren't I still beating up singles?"

Seeing Zeng Zhongsheng's serious face with a rare funny expression, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

Cai Zhong waved his hand: "Forget it, don't worry about it." The level of the division commander is much higher than ours, and he will deal with the trouble he causes. I'll see what he will do when Xiao Zhenghe comes and hugs his leg and calls Dad, we don't care about this guy who forgets his friends anymore, I invite you two to go down to the restaurant. Anyway, our Lao Cai is also the mayor of Jinan, if the division commander doesn't invite me to drink the wine, won't I invite myself? Let's go, drink and go."

Luo Ronghuan's mood also improved, and said: "You don't need to go to the restaurant, you have to continue to work for a while, and you can't leave the division headquarters." Just eat in the guard regiment's room, just open a bottle of wine"

When Cai Zhong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "It's still a good political commissar, much stronger than the division commander, knowing that my old Cai has no money to bring his family, so I saved it for me." ”

Luo Ronghuan immediately said: "The money for the wine is yours."

The three of them laughed and went to the room.

The instructor field hospital is located in the Jinan Hospital of the Japan Association of Colleagues.

It is a comprehensive hospital with the same name as Qilu Hospital and Norther Hospital, covering an area of 73,101 square meters, including 3,959 square meters in the main building, 5,474 square meters in the ward, and 6,588 square meters in the other, including the central office, machinery factory, cadaver room, dissection room, power station, warehouse, nurses' dormitory, etc. It has 120 general beds, 30 infectious disease beds, 40 beds in Cihui Clinic and a number of special beds. There are 160 medical and nursing staff in the hospital, and the daily outpatient volume reaches about 650.

When Han Fuqu retreated, he set fire to the main building of the hospital. After the Japanese army occupied Jinan, the main building of the hospital was repaired. When Liu Yimin arrived, he looked up and saw that the scaffolding outside the main building had not been completely dismantled, indicating that the Japanese army had not completely repaired the main building.

The advantages of occupying big cities are many, many, and many, one of which is that there are more hospitals in big cities, medical conditions are good, and the wounded can be treated in a timely manner.

Since the occupation of Chengdu, the predecessor of the instructor, the Red Seventh Army, began to form a complete battlefield rescue system. Chengdu is a big city with not only hospitals, but also medical schools, medical equipment stores, and Chinese and Western pharmacies. In Chengdu, the instructor recruited a group of young students studying medicine to join the army, purchased medical equipment on a large scale, confiscated the hospitals and pharmacies established by various warlords of the Sichuan Army, and also accepted the hospitals donated by Ni Hua. After arriving in Xi'an, the environment was stable, and Chen Tong, the director of the field hospital, organized several training courses for nurses, which basically assigned hygienists to each company.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, the scale of the instructors' units has expanded, and there are fewer medical personnel. However, after the occupation of Tianjin and Jinan, a large number of young students moved with the army, and the artillery brigade, air defense brigade, and logistics headquarters were greatly strengthened. Some medical students directly joined the army and went to the divisional field hospital and the field hospital of each brigade. At present, in addition to the division and brigade levels, there are field hospitals for instructors and instructors, and each regiment has field ambulance stations and medical teams, which can basically meet the operational needs of the troops.

Those who were transferred to the division's field hospital were all seriously wounded.

Before the Battle of Jiaoji Road, the division field hospital was set up in Dadian with the division headquarters. After the Battle of Jiaoji Road began, Chen Tong left some medical staff to stay in Dadian with the old wounded, and he led most of the medical staff to the front line. As soon as our army occupied Jinan, Chen Tong immediately reported to the division headquarters, saying that there was a big hospital in Jinan and that the medical conditions were good, and that he requested that the field hospital be moved into the city. It just so happened that this Jinan hospital was run by the Japanese and was completely captured by our army, so the division headquarters approved the field hospital to be stationed in Jinan Hospital.

When Liu Yimin came to the courtyard, he saw dozens of stretchers for the wounded in the yard, and the hygienists shuttled between the stretchers, constantly feeding water and changing dressings with the wounded, and the courtyard was filled with the painful moans of the wounded.

Although the instructor's artillery fire was very strong, and the attack on Jinan was very smooth, after all, this was a siege operation, and the Japanese army was not holding a burning stick in his hand. In the whole campaign, the number of casualties was also very large, but it was only disproportionate compared to the number of enemies destroyed.

Knowing that the division commander was coming, Cai Zhong's wife Ren Ying greeted her.

As soon as he saw Ren Ying, Liu Yimin said: "There are several big hospitals in Jinan, why don't you place the wounded immediately?" If there are no conditions for field warfare, forget it, and after entering the provincial capital, why do you still put the wounded on stretchers in the yard? ”

Ren Ying reported: "Commander, don't be angry. There were many wounded, and the beds in several other hospitals were already full, so it was difficult for our army to drive out the sick numbers. The wounded had undergone initial treatment and were already in the brigade field hospitals and other hospitals in the city. When the comrades heard that President Ni Hua had returned, they did not ask to be transferred to the division field hospital and wait for President Ni Hua to personally perform the operation. ”
