Chapter 593 is full of gloomy clouds

For the sake of prudence, the No. 3 Department of Benchuan Province ordered the troops to search everywhere to find Liu Yimin's parachute jumping site, and verify that there were only a few Liu Yimin's attachés, so as not to make jokes.

The little devils quickly searched the hills, where they not only found the remains of Li Chengyi, Lu Wen and the pilots, the damaged radio station, and found the wreckage of five Eighth Route Army planes and seven Japanese planes, but also found Liu Yimin's military cap, which had the word Liu Yimin written on it.

The Third Major General of Benchuan Province was excited, and immediately ordered to report to His Excellency the division commander: The 118th Brigade and Regiment, with the cooperation of the aviation unit, had killed Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander of the Eighth Route Army, and the search for the battlefield had now been completed. After examination, a total of eight bodies were left at the site of Liu Yimin's parachuting, one was charred and unrecognizable, suspected to be caused by the plane's volley explosion, and five of the remaining seven bodies were wearing pilots' uniforms, and it was judged that Liu Yimin's plane captain, navigator, and escort fighter pilot were all killed during the parachute jump; Two dressed in the uniforms of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, one of whom was a telegraph operator, learned from the military cap that his name was Lu Wen, and the radio station he was carrying was destroyed; The name on the military hat of the other person is Li Chengyi, and it is suspected that he is the head of the Liu guard regiment who once issued a statement on behalf of Liu Yimin. A military cap left by Liu Yimin, 86 bullet casings, and fragments of Liu Yimin's military uniform were seized at the scene. The North China Front Air Group of the Japanese Empire lost the first number of fighters, and the wreckage of eight fighters was found at the scene, and eight bodies of pilots were found, four of which were seriously damaged, and they should have been shot down in air battles; The other four bodies were all bullets in the eyebrows, and they should have been hit by Liu Yi's civilian rifle and caused the plane to crash. There were three jade crushed military dogs in our department and 84 people under the captain of the Zhongzuo Wing, and they were basically shot in the head and killed with one shot, all of which were committed by Liu Yimin after parachuting. Judging from the scene, Liu Yimin's marksmanship is like a god, and he can hit the center of his eyebrows at a distance of 500 meters, and the gun used is equipped with a silencer. It is a pity that the bombs and shells of the Air Force and the 10th Jiushan Artillery Wing were too powerful, and Liu Yimin and the five soldiers of the Imperial Army were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and their limbs were shattered and unrecognizable, and all the weapons they used were also blown up. Liu Yimin's bones remained, and only fragments of his military uniform could be identified.

After the telegram from the third province of this transmission was sent to Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, commander of the 10th and 9th Division, it was promptly reported to the headquarters of the First Army and the North China Front.

Terauchi Shouichi was pleasantly surprised and ordered Kita Seiichi to release major news again. However, this time, Kita Seiichi's tone changed, and after making a clear report on the battlefield inspection situation reported by the third report of Honchuan Province in the radio script, he hypocritically said that after General Liu Yimin successfully parachuted, he did not slip away like a despicable thief, but used a rifle to resist the search and attack of the Imperial Army's huge group of planes and a brigade. In the end, he was killed under the joint attack of the 118th Brigade of the 10th Jiushan Artillery Wing. This kind of feats were all achieved in just two hours, creating a miracle in the history of war, beyond the imagination of all war historians, tactical experts, and military theorists. The Imperial Japanese Army admired and respected General Liu Yimin's bravery and good fighting, and the North China Front decided to bury General Liu Yimin in the form of a state funeral. Representatives of people of insight in China and friends are invited to attend the ceremony.

As soon as this radio press release was issued, it immediately became the focus of news all over the world, not to mention China and Japan; even the radio stations of the European and American powers forwarded it; many radio stations supporting the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression also distributed commentaries condemning the Japanese aggressors for killing General Liu Yimin by all means, and calling on people who are wailing for peace to unite and support the Chinese people in defeating the invaders and avenging General Liu Yimin.

The Japanese puppet forces in Japan and Korea, Taiwan, Beiping, Tianjin, Qingdao, Taiyuan, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan have completely fallen into a carnival, especially those Japanese generals and traitors who are afraid that Liu Yimin will kill the door to take his dog's life, and their hearts are more comfortable than drinking a glass of ice water on dog days, they not only ordered their subordinates to set off firecrackers to celebrate, but also ordered pseudo organizations at all levels to force the people to organize Yangko teams to go to the streets to twist Yangge to celebrate, the funniest thing is that Wang Kemin and others in Beiping actually organized a group of girls to march on the streets, It is said to celebrate the imperial army's removal of China's biggest pervert and the protection of women's rights.

He was woken up urgently, and after reading the draft telegram of the Japanese army, he scolded Liu Yimin for not being talented, fighting bravely, and living up to the trust and expectations of the central authorities. It was simply stupid to try to use a rifle to confront a Japanese aircraft group, a brigade, and an artillery wing if he didn't break through quietly in a hurry, play any personal heroism, and rely on his martial arts

scolded and scolded, *** burst into tears, and in the end, he cried loudly.

At this moment, Vice Chairman Zhou, Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Peng all let out a loud cry of sorrow, which made the central organ station full of gloom and crying.

The instructors, divisions, and brigades were in a mess.

Originally, after receiving the telegram from the central authorities, Luo Ronghuan quickly conveyed to the troops that everyone believed that Liu Yimin had successfully parachuted and would soon be able to break through and get in touch with our army in Shanxi, and the gloomy clouds in the sky had already dispersed.

As soon as the second major news of the Japanese army was broadcast, the cadres who taught the instructor were stupid, and the Japanese army made it very clear that Liu Yimin shot down four Japanese planes and killed 84 devils and three military dogs after parachuting, all of which were killed by one shot, and admitted that Liu Yimin died under the joint attack of the Japanese aircraft group and an artillery wing, which is logical. If the Japanese army did not use large-scale clusters and the artillery fire of an artillery wing, the infantry alone would not be able to help Liu Yimin. With such a powerful artillery fire, Liu Yimin could not be spared no matter how brave he was, after all, he was also flesh and blood. The most important thing is that this time the Japanese army did not say a word of falsehood, and it was completely reported according to the situation of the battlefield cleanup, and even the number and names of the martyrs found at the scene were absolutely accurate. Especially Lu Wen, that is an absolutely secret figure, not to mention the Japanese army, the vast majority of cadres and soldiers do not know him, and the Japanese army can find his body and find the name on the military cap, then there is no doubt about it. Liu Yimin's military hat, military uniform and bullet casings were captured by the Japanese army is even more corroborative, the cadres and soldiers who taught the instructor all know Liu Yimin, he attaches great importance to military appearance and military discipline, and the military hat will never be discarded casually, that is, to disguise the devil, he will also put away the military hat and military uniform and hide it, now these things have been seized by the devil, and the devil said very clearly, the military uniform was blown to pieces, and the weapons were all blown up, where is Liu Yimin's life

Don't say that Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng are like frosted eggplants, with tears in their eyes, and even the soldiers of the guard regiment who stood guard saluted the people who entered and left the division headquarters with guns. They were the worst, losing not only their beloved division commander, but also their regimental commander, and they lost it when they had no way to defend them.

The telegrams of the brigades for war drifted to the division headquarters like snowflakes, and the content was almost the same, all of which were "mobilize all the armed forces in Shandong, launch the Dexian Campaign, completely annihilate the Japanese army's northern front group, and storm Beiping, even if there is only one person left, the bones of the division commander must be recovered." ”

Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng were so grieved that they could not help themselves, so they had no choice but to order the staff office to send a telegram back to the brigades, asking the leaders of all units to appease the feelings of the cadres and soldiers, and the division headquarters to ask the central authorities for instructions, and then determine the combat tasks of the troops after the central authorities called back.

This annoyed those brigade commanders, and the commander of the artillery brigade, Li Chang, immediately called the division headquarters and asked the commanders if they could lead them to avenge the division commander. If not, please report to the Central Committee immediately, and ask the Central Committee to quickly dispatch a commander who can avenge the division commander. The 200,000 men and horses of the instructor can't watch the little devils transport the bones of the teacher to Beiping for burial, which is to spoil the teacher and disgust the teacher and wipe the on the face of the teacher. The artillery brigade would rather have no one left dead after the shells than let the division commander suffer such an insult.

Luo Ronghuan felt that the cadres and fighters were carried away by hatred in this way, which was not conducive to the next step of the battle, and he could no longer take care of his own grief, so he called the commanders and political commissars of the main brigades around Jinan one by one to do ideological work, and ordered them to do a good job in the ideological work of cadres and fighters with an attitude of being responsible to the party. Revenge must be avenged, and the bones of the division commander must also be snatched back.

As a result, several brigade commanders on the phone assured that they would resolutely carry out the order, and at the same time asked when the troops would set off to avenge the division commander?

Luo Ronghuan is a person whose will is harder than steel, and his leadership level is extremely high. However, the instructor is different from other troops of the Eighth Route Army, and most of the backbone cadres were rescued by Liu Yimin from Xinwei, Gulingtou, and Xiangjiang River, and they are extremely gracious, and they can't avenge Liu Yimin as soon as possible, which is absolutely impossible. Luo Ronghuan couldn't even convince Cai Zhong in the first place.

Luo Ronghuan quickly convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Bureau in Jinan and decided to immediately report to the Central Committee and ask the Central Committee to appoint Commander-in-Chief Zhu or Vice Chairman Zhou to quickly inspect the work of the instructors, and immediately dispatch military cadres of our party and our army with extremely high prestige to take over as the chief instructors.

As a matter of fact, Zeng Zhongsheng's military quality and command ability are among the best in our army. But the situation from six o'clock in the morning to the present shows that his prestige is not enough to command the instructor. In this case, the Shandong Bureau had no choice but to ask the central government for instructions.

The most troublesome thing is Tang Xingying and Ni Hua, the two female comrades, who originally took secrecy measures against them, but after the first telegram from the Central Committee came, Luo Ronghuan felt that there was no problem, so he no longer kept them secret. They were all high-ranking cadres, and their instructors had won many battles and captured a lot, and the women's committee where Tang Xingying worked and the field hospital where Ni Hua worked had radios, and they all heard the second broadcast of the Japanese army as it was. After this was over, the two girls had cried enough, so they drilled the tip of the horns, thinking that the reason why Liu Yimin did not break through in time after the successful parachute jump, but confronted the Japanese army, was purely because Liu Yimin felt that life was boring, and took suicidal attacks. And the reason why Liu Yimin feels that life is boring is because of them. If they didn't force Liu Yimin, where would Liu Yimin become so stupid, one person and one gun to confront the Japanese army and the large army, and fight to the death without retreating?

Tang Xingying and Ni Hua, who regretted it inexplicably, both chose a dead word, the difference is that one uses a scalpel and one uses a pistol.

Although the suicides of the two were discovered and stopped by the guards in time, the two women who were close to collapse could no longer be separated from human guardianship.

Not only Ni Hua and Tang Xingying, but also Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing After listening to the radio, all hopes, expectations, and love turned to ashes, and people became demented.

Even Lin Yueqin and Ren Ying were in a state of regret and self-blame, regretting that their brains were in water, and before Liu Yimin left, they said so many excessive things to him, which made him get on the plane with a body of resentment. Now it's okay, disaster is coming, not only do they blame themselves, their husbands ignore them, but even those guards and soldiers who know the inside story look at them differently than usual, and there is an indescribable taste in them.

Lin Yueqin and Ren Ying had no choice but to close the door and cry over and over again in the house.

The trouble here has just begun, and Chiang Kai-shek has come to add to the chaos again.

Chiang Kai-shek had already received the first major news broadcast by the Japanese army, as well as the senior officials of the Nationalist Government. Some people suggested that Liu Yimin's fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders was a foregone conclusion, and that Shandong affairs should be arranged as soon as possible.

Chiang Kai-shek is much calmer than these bigwigs, he knows that he can't look at Liu Yimin from the eyes of ordinary people, the little devil has long wanted to kill Liu Yimin, isn't he alive and well? Besides, the ** side was very calm, there was no reaction at all, and even the refutation of the Japanese army was saved. Let's wait and talk, don't be busy making a statement, lest Liu Yimin get out of the encirclement and fall into a laughing stock.

For Liu Yimin, Chiang Kai-shek's psychology is very complicated, from the perspective of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he hopes that Liu Yimin will win more battles, kill more devils, and it is best to really arrest the Japanese emperor to be a scholar for him. But from the perspective of consolidating the rule of the Kuomintang, Liu Yimin is an extremely dangerous guy, and he will die sooner rather than later.

After the second major news of the Japanese army was broadcast, Chiang Kai-shek intuitively knew that this time Liu Yimin was afraid that it was really over. For the sake of prudence, Chiang Kai-shek instructed the General Office of the Military Commission to send a telegram to the communications and liaison group operating with the instructor's division headquarters in Jinan, asking them to quickly report the instructor's reaction to the Japanese army's broadcast of Liu Yimin's sacrifice for the country. As a result, the call back arrived quickly, and there were only four words on it: "Crying all over the city"

Now Chiang Kai-shek had the bottom of his mind, and he asked the Military Commission to send a report to Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army, and Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief, asking them to immediately report General Liu Yimin's actions, quickly clarify the rumors of the Japanese army, and prevent the Japanese army from confusing the public and demoralizing the people.

Xi'an was already a mournful voice at this time, where would anyone care about Chiang Kai-shek's telegram. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek sent three telegrams in succession, and the central authorities had no choice but to reply in the names of Zhu and Peng: "General Liu Yimin's plane formation was indeed ambushed by a group of Japanese planes, and General Liu Yimin himself successfully parachuted. ”

After reading the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek felt like a mirror in his heart, and at this time, ** didn't dare to say a hard word, it seems that Liu Yimin was really killed.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek remembered Liu Yimin's good coming, and couldn't help but shed tears, lamenting the loss of the general.

After sighing, Chiang Kai-shek issued several orders, one was to immediately announce to the public that this afternoon, the Supreme Court of the Republic of China publicly tried the commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army, Otaka Kamezo, and the commander of the 1st and 33rd Divisions, Gan Ji Shigetaro. Second, the major newspapers and periodicals in the rear area will publish a special article on the propaganda of General Liu Yimin's deeds in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression early tomorrow morning, designating Chen Bui as the chief writer and the headquarters of the 18th Group Army to provide materials. Third, he instructed Shen Honglie, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, to rush to Jinan to preside over Shandong's administrative affairs, and appointed He Yingqin, minister of military affairs, to Shandong to study and deploy specific strategies for Shandong's War of Resistance in Shandong. Fourth, in view of the meritorious service of the instructors in resisting Japan, they submitted to the State Council of the Republic of China for approval and conferred the rank of General Gao Yuan, commander of the 1st Brigade, Liu Jianjian, commander of the 2nd Brigade, and Li Qingzhong, commander of the 3rd Brigade.

Originally, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to confer a few more lieutenant generals, but unfortunately the troop establishment reported by the instructor before the expedition was only three main brigades, and the other brigades were not reported, and Chiang Kai-shek did not know the names of those brigade commanders, so he had to give up. This is already very excessive, you must know that Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, President Peng and Liu Yimin are only lieutenant generals, and now in an extraordinary period, Chiang Kai-shek gave three lieutenant generals to the instructor at once, what does he want to do?

Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to order the party, government, and military organs in the rear to set up mourning halls to pay tribute to Liu Yimin, and posthumously confer Liu Yimin with the title of second-class general. But after putting up with it, forget it. What if Liu Yimin comes back from the dead? Let's wait for ** to set up a mourning hall there

Chiang Kai-shek's telegram was sent in two copies, one to the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army and the other to the instructors through the communication and liaison group of the resident instructors.

Clear-sighted people know at a glance that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take advantage of Liu Yimin's sacrifice to divide and disintegrate the instructors and seize the achievements of Shandong's resistance against Japan.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek himself knew that his set of things might not work for those Communist Party backbones who taught the instructors, but who could say clearly what was going on in the world? Just like Liu Yimin was still in the public trial of Ling Chi Gu Shoufu a few days ago, who would have thought that he would be blown up by Little Japan today? The important thing is not that Chiang Kai-shek's methods do not work, but that it is to create opportunities and slowly lay out

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's orders were also the result of his careful deliberation in the past few days, not to mention that Liu Yimin was killed in battle, that is, he was alive, and Chiang Kai-shek was doing this. First of all, the three Japanese lieutenant generals such as Otaka Kamizo must be tried and sentenced in a public manner, which is nothing to discuss. Second, publicizing Liu Yimin's deeds in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is even more undesirable, and he can't say anything. But there is a layer of meaning inside, that is, to elevate Liu Yimin and the instructor and create a rift within the Eighth Route Army. Third, Shen Honglie was sent to preside over the government affairs of Shandong, and Chiang Kai-shek said when he taught his instructor to capture Jinan that Shen Honglie was the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government appointed by the Nationalist Government, and no one could say anything. Fourth, awarding the instructor the rank of lieutenant general to three brigade commanders is not only a commendation for their combat exploits, but also a compensation for the lack of ranks in the Eighth Route Army. Of course, how the generals within the instructor view the rank of lieutenant general of these three brigade commanders is their own business, and the Nationalist Government only cares about conferring titles, and cannot let the soldiers who have contributed suffer losses. Other issues cannot be taken care of one by one.

When all parties were fighting because of Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin himself had already slipped down from the mountain beam, took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army pouring up the mountain beam, mixed into the Japanese army, and arrived at the side of the road at the foot of the mountain.
