Chapter 694: Year-end talk

After the battle of Jiagou, Liu Yimin asked Huang Wenhu, the instructor of the 1st Guard Battalion, to escort Tang Xiu and his son back to Chen's house in Hunan with the remains of the martyrs and the wounded, and he took the 1st Special Warfare Squadron and the main force of the 1st Guard Battalion to Fuliji.

At this time, the Fu Liji is simply a change in the world. When the villagers suddenly saw that the Eighth Route Army had recovered Fu Liji, joy spread from the gray houses: "Every household has swept away the snow in the yard and on the street, and all the shops have opened in business, and those with red cloth are in the shop." Hang a piece of red cloth, paste a piece of red paper without a red cloth, and the bosses see everyone clasping their hands into fists and saying congratulations, congratulations, and joy. The busiest are the various yaki shops, "the stove is red, and the aroma of boiled red oil is overflowing", the boss and the guys are busy with their feet not touching the ground, their foreheads are shiny beads of sweat, and even the sound of shouting out the pot is so bright that the neighbors can hear it. They were rushing to make and burn jī for the Eighth Route Army, and wanted the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to taste the taste of the red jī that had been paid tribute to Emperor Lao'er.

The villagers were afraid that as soon as the Xiǎo devil came, after the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army, Fu Liji fell back into the clutches of the Japanese invaders, and he couldn't even survive this year. Some people who bought New Year's goods simply posted New Year's pictures and couplets, steamed buns and fried oil goods, and celebrated the New Year in advance.

Now it was lively, the children crackled and set off firecrackers on the street, and after the firecrackers, they ran behind the buttocks of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and the bold ones took the hands of the soldiers and kept asking questions, as if everything on the soldiers was so novel.

When Liu Yimin and his entourage entered Fuliji, they were filled with a strong aroma and joy, "The eyes of the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the town were full of joy.

Although Tang Xiuer was caught and a major hidden danger was lifted, he also paid sacrifices, and Liu Yimin was very unhappy in his heart. But after entering the Fu Li Collection, the joy of the street still infected him. Especially when he walked to the entrance of the barracks of the army, he saw young people in their twenties lining up to join the Eighth Route Army to fight devils, and Liu Yimin's mood improved.

In Fuliji, Liu Yimin met with Ding Maoxiu and the members of the anti-Japanese guerrilla corps led by him, as well as with the comrades of the Suxian County Party Committee.

Ding Maoxiu's anti-Japanese guerrilla corps now has only one hundred and ten people, "except for their hats, they all wear the cotton uniforms of the puppet army, and everyone carries a 38 big cover, and they are also equipped with three crooked handles and a 92 style, and they stand there full of gods."

Liu Yimin was very satisfied with it, and asked the troops to leave all the weapons captured by the puppet army to Ding Maoxiu for the expansion of the army. Then he asked the county party committee and the Su County Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps to immediately mobilize the villagers to carry out the clearing of the wilderness, "preparing to sweep back." At the same time, the troops left behind are required to be ready for battle, "xiǎo devils will soon reoccupy Jiagou", and they will attack Fuliji at the latest night, and the troops' latent posts should be placed as far away as possible, and the range should be larger, and the xiǎo devils must not be allowed to sneak in front of them to make dumplings. At night, you must fight bravely at night, so that the xiǎo devil knows how powerful the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army is. When withdrawing, we must be resolute and fast, hang the appetite of the devils, hold their noses, and not be bitten by them.

After arranging all this, Liu Yimin led Wang Laohu to a time-honored shop and tasted the Fuli Ji Yaki jī of this era.

The owner of the shop was very excited when he saw the head of the Eighth Route Army coming to the store to taste the roasted jī, and took it upon himself to choose a freshly cooked jī "Present it on a plate and invite Liu Yimin to taste it."

Liu Yimin lifted jī's leg and shook it gently, "jīròu has all fallen off, and the whole jī frame is very complete." When you taste it, you will not be greasy, and the "umami mellow" will leave a fragrance on your cheeks.

The owner of the shop saw Liu Yimin shaking off the jīròu with his legs, and knew that he had met a knowledgeable diner, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately introduced that the age of Fu Liji burning jī was very old, and his surname Liu "has been burning jī for generations" to choose the local féi sturdy male hemp jī, before slaughtering, you need to drink water and wash the jī body, and then slaughter "don't", so that it can be dried "smeared with sugar, cooked and fried in sesame oil", and then accompanied by B precious spices such as sand kernels, angelica, ròu ko, cloves, Xinyi, and Yuan fennel, and put them in the ancestral old soup pot. First boil it with a fierce fire and high temperature, and then return to the crisp for three hours before it can be fished out. If you gently lift the jī leg and shake it while it is hot after it comes out of the pot, the jīròu will all fall off and be connected to the frame.

Liu Yimin and Wang Laohu ate with relish, and the soldiers accompanying them also ate with oily lips.

After eating, Liu Yimin Jiāo waited for Li Xiǎo to pay for it. This boss has eyes, and when he saw Liu Yimin entering the store to eat and burn jī, and there were many sentries outside the store, he knew that it must be a big official, so he proposed not to ask for money, which was regarded as a condolence to the Eighth Route Army that fought devils.

The discipline of the Eighth Route Army is fair in trading, where there is a reason not to give money for food. If they didn't collect money, the soldiers would not eat the boss's roasted jī when they were hungry. It was also Liu Yimin who wanted to stimulate and encourage the development of national industry and commerce, and in this era of war and shortage, "you can still eat such a good roasted jī, which makes Liu Yimin very excited, so he asked Li Xiǎo Shuai to bring pen and ink, move the pen like flying, and write down the inscription of "Chinese famous food, the world is unique", and note: "On February 12, 1939, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar calendar, in Suzhou, Anhui Province, Fuliji tasted the burning jī, the millennium tribute jī, the old soup was cooked, the fragrance was overflowing, and it was the best in China. It lives up to its name. To eliminate the Japanese invaders and return our rivers and mountains, Fu Li Ji Yao Jī will surely shine and sell well at home and abroad. Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander of the Eighth Route Army, remembered it. ”

This boss surnamed Liu doesn't read much, but he knows all these words, and when he saw that Liu Yimin of Megatron came to his xiǎo shop, he also gave such a high evaluation "Xi's voice trembled, and he kept urging the guys to package all the burned jī in the store, not one left, and give them all to the Eighth Route Army" and then begged Liu Yimin to give the store a name.

Liu Yimin asked xìng good people to do it to the end, and inscribed the sub, "Liu Lao Er burns jī" plaque, jiāo to the shop owner.

The shopkeeper looked puzzled: "Sir", my ranking is not the second, but the boss. ”

Liu Yimin laughed: "Calling Liu Lao Er burn jī means that the burning jī of Fu Liji's ancestors is the boss, and your burning jī is the second child." What do you think of that? The shopkeeper knelt down with an ordinary sound," Wang Laohu next to him quickly pulled him up and told him that he had something to say, the Eighth Route Army was a soldier of the people, and it was not okay.

The shopkeeper thanked him excitedly, and after thanking him, he said that he would like to thank the general for giving such a good name to the xiǎo, and he would donate burned jī to the Eighth Route Army every year in the future, according to the standard of one per day, he pledged to donate 365 burned jī every year, no matter what the year, it is guaranteed to be delivered, please General Liu taste.

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to resign, Wang Laohu stepped forward, thanked him repeatedly, and solemnly promised that he would kill more devils, strive to drive the devils out of China as soon as possible, and never disappoint the high hopes of the villagers. Then he told the boss that he must write that he must ask Wang Laohu, the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army's instructor special service battalion, to turn jiāo, so as not to spoil the burning.

At this time, the whole Fu Liji was boiling, and the villagers all knew that General Liu Yimin, the legendary hero of the Eighth Route Army and the invincible god of war, had arrived in Fuliji, and gave the town's name Yan Fu Liji such a high evaluation, and the bosses of the time-honored brands who heard the news all surrounded and asked General Liu Yimin to taste and give Mobao.

This is the war years, a careless is likely to bring others home to destroy the disaster, Liu Yimin simply went to the most famous three old shops in Fuliji, and at the same time, left inscriptions such as "thousand-year-old tribute", "burn jī family", "century-old brand", etc., so happy that those bosses were smiling, and repeatedly said that they would donate to the Eighth Route Army to burn jī "to support the anti-Japanese resistance."

When Liu Yimin left Fuliji and rushed to the county seat of Suxian County, Hu Laohu was surprised to find that "the division commander brought 300 burnt jī to the whole brigade, and the soldiers could feast on their food."

Bao Wen, the political commissar of the cavalry brigade, was excited, took Liu Yimin's hand and asked how much money he had, this money should be paid by the cavalry brigade, how can the division commander be allowed to come out? Besides, "the division commander is the same, and he receives an allowance", and he doesn't have so much money.

Wang Laohu saw that the cannon was sincere, and directly said that the division commander did not have huā money, and it was Hu Luàn who wrote a few words for so many burns.

Pao Wen knows that the words of the great calligrapher are all hard-to-find ink treasures, "But the division commander is probably not a great calligrapher, right?" I was in a hurry, and I immediately asked the director of logistics to take the money and rush to Fuliji, and pay according to the price, so that those merchants could not feel deceived afterwards and "scolded the Eighth Route Army for buying and selling."

Liu Yimin laughed when he heard it, and when he heard it, he laughed at the shallow eyelids of the cannon text, xiǎo looked at people, and when he defeated the xiǎo devil and established New China, and the economy prospered, this Fu Liji burned jī will inevitably be mass-produced, and his own characters will be their golden signboard at that time, not to mention that they have written so much, it is a big loss to change a nose for 300 and 3,000 burned jī. Those merchants will know what a good deal they have done today!

When Hu Laohu on the side heard this, he asked Liu Yimin to write him a sub-letter, encouraging him to resolutely resist the war and make more military achievements, so that his wife and children could see it in the future.

While a few people were talking, the troops who stayed behind in Fu Liji sent a telegram, reporting that after the division commander left, Fu Liji had begun to clear the wilderness, but a new situation had occurred, that is, the merchants in the town had gathered in several old shops with the inscription of the division commander, asking for the transfer of Liu Yimin's inscription, "The price of a word has been as high as 100 oceans, but those shops are resolutely not selling."

When Hu Laohu heard it, he jumped high: "Obediently, 100 oceans for one word" This is also outrageous! Unexpectedly, the division commander went to the battlefield and it was Wu Song, "When you meet the United States, it is Ji Kang, what are you doing when you pick up the pen?" ”

Liu Yimin smiled: "Okay" Don't talk nonsense, the Xiǎo heart warriors laugh at you. Hu Laohu said: "Pull it down, where will the soldiers laugh at me." If you want to say that you are not good, you will inscribe poems when you meet a businessman, and you have deceived so many Moutai wines, and now you have deceived you to burn jī. The cavalry brigade is also the main force of the first class, and the brigade commander can't even ask for a pair of inscriptions from the division commander, and the division commander obviously dislikes the poor and loves the rich! ”

Wang Laohu was the most reluctant to hear others say that Liu Yimin was not good, although he knew that Hu Laohu was joking, but he still didn't want to, and immediately said, "Brigade Commander Hu, if you don't want to eat burnt jī, just say clearly" These three hundred burnt jī are all for our special combat team, just one for two people. ”

Hu Laohu's eyes glared: "Think beautifully!" It's all in your mouth" and you want us to spit it out? Forget it, add your share, and let the division commander write a sub-character for the two of us, okay? ”

Wang Laohu didn't say anything.

Liu Yimin saw that Hu Laohu was heroic and "had no pressure on his shoulders at all, and he was happy, and after coming to the headquarters of the cavalry brigade, he splashed ink at that time, and wrote Yue Fei's Man Jianghong with wild grass and presented it to Hu Laohu." He also wrote a line of books that "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shiguan, the Long March of 10,000 miles has not been returned, but the dragon city will fly in, and Hu Madu will not be taught to stop yīn," and sent it to Bao Wen, and then wrote Gao Shi's "Yan Ge Xing" in wild cursive and sent it to Wang Laohu.

After Wang Laohu put away the words, he told Liu Yimin with a little regret that he was afraid that he would not be able to keep this word, Li Lingfeng loved this poem the most, and he sang it when he was fine. If he sees this, he has to go.

As soon as Liu Yimin heard it, he waved a rewrite at that time, "Add Li Lingfeng and let Wang Laohu bring it to him."

After all this, Liu Yimin, accompanied by Hu Laohu, inspected the troops, and did not return to the headquarters of the cavalry brigade in Suxian County until dark.

At this time, the vanguard of the Japanese army from Xuzhou to the south had already arrived outside Fuliji, and engaged the troops of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment left behind, which was equivalent to biting the hook again by the Xiǎo Devil Heavy Army Group.

In Su County, Liu Yimin published the "Speech at the End of the Year of Xuyin".

During the conversation, Liu Yimin reviewed the achievements of the military and people of China since the July 7 Incident, and pointed out that although the Japanese army occupied a large part of the territory of China after a year and a half of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, all that the Japanese army could really control was some large and medium-sized cities and key roads, and the vast occupied areas were gradually turning into anti-Japanese base areas and guerrilla areas for the military and people of China. It is a good time for our military and people to unite and fight guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

Then, Liu Yimin analyzed the international situation in the past year and a half of the Anti-Japanese War, and pointed out that the current world situation is complicated, since Japan launched the September 18 Incident to invade the northeast of China, Italy invaded Ethiopia in the old witch year, and Germany showed its hideous face last year to "invade Austria." These three countries all launched wars of aggression in the thirties, bullying the weak, could there be some ulterior motives among them? It is worth pondering by peace-loving people all over the world. What is particularly worth pondering is that "when Japan itself invaded China, some countries were insensitive, and they kept exporting oil and steel to Japan" in disguise to support Japan's war of aggression: when Italy invaded Ethiopia, the European countries could have stopped Italy's adventure, but their support was only lip service, which stimulated Italy's expansionist ambitions: when Germany demanded the recovery of the Sudetenland, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain naively thought that he and Hitler had signed a " The Munich Agreement, which was a guarantee of peace, was simply ignorant and stupid, to the extreme, believing that Hitler's occupation of Austria had given Chamberlain a resounding * light, and hopefully it was the only slap in the face.

In the face of the current world situation, Liu Yimin called on all countries in the world to unite to isolate Japan from the political, economic, and military aspects, to help the people of China defeat the aggressor, and to make all war maniacs who are willing to launch wars of aggression and threaten the peaceful development of mankind realize that launching aggression can only bring about their own destruction." Only in this way can we contain even greater tragedies.

After talking about the international situation, Liu Yimin once again talked about the domestic War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, pointing out that since joining the war, "the instructors of the Eighth Route Army have completely annihilated the Japanese army's three permanent divisions, one dispatch corps, one ad hoc division, four garrison divisions, one field brigade and four independent mixed brigades, and annihilated more Japanese troops of wing and brigade size" dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. All armed forces in our country should learn from this experience, concentrate superior forces, lay out battlefields in advance, and annihilate the Japanese army in a formed manner. All theaters should take the elimination of the Japanese army at the brigade and regiment level and division and regimental level as their goal, and strive to eliminate one to three divisions and regiments of the Japanese army within this year. The instructors of the Eighth Route Army are willing to continue to act as the vanguard of the whole army in killing the enemy, and to eliminate several divisions and regiments of the Japanese army within this year, so as to set an example for the whole army. It is suggested that the high command formulate measures to encourage all units to take the initiative to kill the enemy, reward meritorious units, and encourage units with average combat achievements to "form an atmosphere of comparing achievements and making new meritorious contributions in the whole army." It is necessary to enforce discipline against those division-level units that are ready to collapse when they are shocked and that have never been formed to eliminate more than one squadron of Japanese troops since they entered the war, and if necessary, they can be disbanded and assigned to other meritorious units, so as not to waste money and food.

At the end of the conversation, Liu Yimin pointed out very angrily that the Japanese army was afraid of the attack of the Eighth Route Army, so they actually sent a princess of the imperial family to assassinate him, and he was "caught in the encirclement of the main force of the instructor in Jiagou in Su County" and was annihilated. According to investigation, the princess should be Princess Jungong Xiuzi, alias Tang Xiu'er, with a slender figure, beautiful appearance, superb martial arts, and outstanding marksmanship" speaks fluent Beijing accent "Chinese" Mandarin, and is good at disguised as an NV student or a [Chinese] NV soldier.

Liu Yimin is telling the Japanese army that what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained by relying on yīn tricks. If you dare to send assassins to assassinate again, "Yamaoka Shigehou, Yamaoka Keiko's brother and sister are role models." Even Princess Hideko Junmiya who escaped, our army will also pursue her and completely liquidate the crimes she committed in the war of aggression.

Hu Laohu reminded Liu Yimin that if we should not talk about the international situation, our information is all known from the newspapers and telegrams, and it is all hindsight, and if the analysis is wrong, it is very likely to cause trouble for the Ministry of National Affairs. Especially to Chamberlain said too politely, is it a different tone.

Liu Yimin shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with "no need to change". Everything has a cause and an effect" Now that the cause is there, the effect will soon bear fruit. Wait and see! ”

Pao Wen was worried that Liu Yimin was standing at the wrong angle in the conversation: "After all, we are only a division of the Chinese army," and it is better not to say anything about matters involving the command and the overall situation, "This is a kind of overstepping authority, and if it is not done well, it will be criticized in the future."

Liu Yimin laughed: "Are we still a teacher?" We are not only the largest strategic group of the Eighth Route Army, but also the most powerful strategic group in the Chinese army. Since the Battle of Jiaoji Road, the Japanese army and the national army have seen this very clearly. The Japanese army mobilized a large army to chase after us, and Chairman Chiang didn't care about us, after fighting such a large-scale battle and eliminating so many devils, have you ever seen Chairman Chiang pay us a penny of military salary? Okay, that's it. ”

After the conversation, Liu Yimin treated Hu Laohu and Bao Wen again, and this time the Japanese army's heavy pursuit "will not last long, because after the Japanese army pursues Zhuoyang, the troops of our army's northern front will start to occupy Qingdao again, capture Cangxian, and may even reoccupy Lianyungang, completely knocking out the Japanese army's supply line." When the Japanese army returns to the division to rescue, the troops of our army on the northern front will enter concealment and recuperate, and our army on the southern front will make an all-out effort to sweep through the Jianghuai region and sweep away the Japanese puppet forces in this area. Therefore, the cavalry brigade had to control the rhythm and constantly use the night battle attacks of the troops to influence the judgment of the Japanese high-level in the course of the enemy, so as to luàn their brains and put them in a state of fighting fires everywhere.

As soon as Hu Laohu heard this, he immediately reported: "The division commander has a flame array, and we want to completely drive the Japanese army's mad cow into the flame array and roast it thoroughly." Please rest assured that the cavalry brigade will hold the mad bull's nose tightly and let it obediently follow our command. ”

Liu Yimin ordered Wang Laohu to lead the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron to move with the cavalry to open the way for the cavalry brigade to move southward to the enemy, and the No. 3 Special Operations Squadron returned to Chen's house in Hunan with Liu Yimin. He also asked Wang Laohu to give all the German-made submachine guns, bullets, and grenades of the Japanese special combat team captured today to the cavalry brigade and a battalion of cavalry and teach the soldiers how to use them. Fighters armed with submachine guns will continue to be equipped with carbines, "to ensure that the firepower is matched appropriately from near and far."

Hu Laohu's happy mouth grinned so much that Bowen laughed at him for being useless, and 100 submachine guns could make him so excited.

Liu Yimin told Pao Wen: "Don't look at this submachine gun, it is the most advanced submachine gun in the world at present, except for the German army, only the Japanese army has a small amount of equipment, and other countries do not have it" is mainly used in close combat with German tanks in offensive combat, and the firepower is fierce. After equipping the 1st Cavalry Battalion, "the firepower of the 1st Cavalry Battalion will be greatly increased, and it will become an assault arrow for the whole brigade." I was relieved that they would cooperate with the 1st Special Operations Squadron to open the way for the cavalry brigade. It's just that this bullet is not easy to replenish, so it has to be used sparingly. After Jiāo finished, Liu Yimin led the 1st Guard Battalion and the 3rd Special Operations Squadron back to Chen's house in Hunan, and when he said goodbye to Hu Laohu, Pao Wen and Wang Laohu at the entrance of the city, Liu Yimin told Hu Laohu again that he must fight skillfully, not fight to the death with the Japanese army, and bring back the cavalry brigade completely, and the number can only be more than less.

After Liu Yimin left, Hu Laohu and Pao Wen quickly deployed, withdrawing the slower artillery regiment and brigade troops from Suxian and moving in the direction of Zhuoyang.

The three regiments also entered the preset positions in accordance with the battle plan, preparing to launch a night attack on the vanguard of the Japanese army on the front line of Fuliji and Jiagou, and then withdrew from the battlefield "step by step to lead the Japanese army's bull's nose to the direction of Fuyang.!" ~!
