Shimen's communication industry was already very developed in the Sanfeng era.

After the Japanese occupied Shimen, they merged the original telegraph office and telephone bureau in Shimen into the Shijiazhuang Telegraph and Telephone Bureau, updated the equipment, and built a public telegraph and railway telegraph relay network connecting Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Beiping, and Tianjin, which could send telegrams in English, Chinese, and Japanese, and added a new telegraph grant business.

At the same time, long-distance telephone lines from Shimen to Baoding, Handan and Shimen to Beiping, Taiyuan and Anyang were erected. The number of installed telephone users in the city increased to 1,313.

To the surprise of those Japanese pseudo-reporters, the Eighth Route Army did not destroy the telegraph and telephone bureau at all, and its business was carried out as usual, not only sending telegrams, but also making long-distance telephone calls directly to Beiping, Taiyuan, and Baoding. At this time, it was lively, and the business counter of Shijiazhuang Telegraph and Telephone Bureau was crowded, and the telephone room was chattering in Japanese and Chinese. Since its establishment, the Shijiazhuang Telegraph and Telephone Bureau has not seen such a busy scene as it is now.

The topics of the reporters are also very eye-catching.

The article published by a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun Communications Department was titled "I Met the Legendary Liu Yimin."

After all, it is one of the largest news agencies in Japan, and the manuscript written by this reporter is very level, and there are several paragraph headings under the heading.

The title of the first paragraph is "The Mysterious Senior Officer of the Eighth Route Army in the Conference Hall of the 'Government' of Shimen City", which mainly describes the simple story of his capture and being sent by the Eighth Route Army to the meeting hall of the 'Government' of Shimen City to participate in the meeting of the people. At this time, two senior officers of the Eighth Route Army, one tall and one short, walked into the conference hall. The tall Eighth Route Army officer was two heads taller than the reporter, and his height should be more than 1.7 meters, his face was like a crown of jade, his nose was like a hanging gall, and his sword eyebrows were bright.

A pair of eyes are like black gems, which are breathtaking. This person was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, but he did not wrap or tie his belt like the other Eighth Route Army, nor did he wear any weapons, and he looked relaxed, and casually walked into the venue and sat down at the conference table. That moment. The reporter suddenly felt that the pressure in the entire venue increased sharply, and it seemed that this person who looked idle, took off his military uniform and changed into a long shirt that was liked by Chinese scholars was like a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army among the immortals, which was an invisible mountain, which made people breathless. Who is he? ”

The title of the second paragraph is "It turns out that he is Liu Yimin". The reporter wrote: "After listening to the introduction of the short Eighth Route Army officer, the reporters learned that this handsome Eighth Route Army official who was almost demonic was the one who had captured Taiyuan, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan, and led to the succession of elite divisions of the Imperial Army.

Liu Yimin, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, was immediately exclaimed in the conference room.

At this time, the reporter realized how ridiculous it was for newspapers and radio stations in North China to portray Liu Yimin as a bandit, a robber, and a gangster. Liu Yimin in front of him is definitely a beautiful man, and I am afraid that Ji Kang in the Wei and Jin dynasties in the history of China is no more than that. If he appears on the streets of Tokyo, it will inevitably cause countless beautiful girls to chase after him, where do you need to force Jiān and rob! At that time, a thought suddenly popped into the reporter's mind, if there was a gun, at such a close distance, it would be possible to kill Liu Yimin and avenge the jade shattered Yamato warriors. That's a $2 million bounty! It's a pity that the reporter's weapon has been confiscated by the Eighth Route Army, and he can only watch Liu Yimin sit there and speak with high spirits. ”

The third paragraph is titled "Liu Yimin said that Japanese newspapers are dirty to wipe their buttocks". This paragraph is mainly about Liu Yimin's discussion of the journalistic profession "Dao".

The fourth paragraph is headlined "Liu Yimin announced the newspaper founded by the provisional 'government' of the Republic of China in North China,

The radio station is the Han Jiān newspaper and the Han Jiān Radio", this paragraph is mainly a narrative of Liu Yimin's discussion of the Han Jiān newspaper and the Han Jiān reporter.

The title of the fifth paragraph is "Liu Yimin Says that the Great Japanese Empire Will Compensate China for War Losses of 5 Trillion U.S. Dollars."

The title of the sixth paragraph is "The beautiful girl who dedicated herself to the Great East Asian Holy War became the stunner of the chief", which is written about Liu Yimin's exposure of Terauchi Shouichi, Sugi Sugimoto, and Tada Jun's occupation of the female soldiers of the "Japan".

The Asahi Shimbun reporter finally wrote even more cutely, saying that his money had been confiscated by the Eighth Route Army, and the telegram fee for sending the article could only be mortgaged with his beloved Parker gold pen.

The headlines of the articles of the reporters of other newspapers are similar in style, and the content is similar. Now the key is to race for time to see who will send the manuscript back and publish it first.

The news of Liu Yimin's presence in Shimen was quickly transmitted to the base camp of the Japanese army and the headquarters of the North China Front.

At this time, Tada Jun no longer had the arrogance when he launched the encirclement and suppression of the heavy army group, his face was sallow, his eye sockets were deep, and he was a shriveled old man.

Knowing that Liu Yimin was in Shimen City and that he was also holding a press conference in Shimen, Tada Jun was like a shot of chicken blood, and he immediately took it easy, and ordered Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masashi to contact the troops, and strictly ordered to speed up the action and advance in the direction of Shimen. Kinoshita was strictly ordered to mobilize fighters to closely monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army in the Shimen area, and once it was found that the Eighth Route Army showed signs of evacuating from Shimen, he immediately organized a large-scale group of planes to carry out intensive bombing and killed Liu Yimin.

Tada himself personally sent a telegram to the base camp and the commander of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro, requesting that ammunition and food be urgently allocated to make up for the supply losses caused by the loss of Ishimon.

Tada Jun is ruthless enough, and the Japanese army base camp is even more ruthless than him.

Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace discussed with Hosotoshi Lu Xiang, and immediately entered the palace to meet His Majesty Emperor Hirohito, and asked the emperor for his consent to transfer two flying regiments from the Second Air Force under the Kwantung Army to fight south.

The telegram of instructions from the base camp to Tada Jun was very clear: The fighter plane that destroyed Liu Yimin's main force had appeared, and the commander was instructed to mobilize all the troops that could be mobilized to eliminate Liu Yimin's troops at Shimen and kill Liu Yimin.

Liu Yimin, who was remembered by the Japanese army base camp and Tada Jun, was elated at this time. After the press conference, when I returned to the headquarters, I received a telegram from Deputy Chairman Zhou, saying that Ni Hua had successfully given birth to a baby girl at 10 o'clock this morning at the Chongqing Army General Hospital, and that according to Liu Yimin's instructions to Ni Hua, she was named Ni Jing, and the mother and daughter were safe.

Liu Yimin immediately sent a report to Ni Hua, full of joy between the lines: "Dear Ni Hua my love: When I learned that Jing'er was born, you don't know how happy I am in my heart, I want to take a look at our baby and kiss her pink little face."

Dear Ni Hua: I know that you have suffered and worked hard. I'll go out on the street in a moment to buy you gifts and buy gifts for our babies. You don't know, during this time, I have all my allowances accumulated, just waiting to buy gifts for your mother and daughter!

Dear Ni Hua: I miss you. It doesn't matter when you're fighting, you can't sleep every day when you're free. When the child is over 100 years old, you take her back to Shandong, and our family will be reunited and will never be separated again.

Than the affectionate name! ”

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin wandered around the room, his mind full of Ni Hua's peerless image.

Yixiyi's disgusting demeanor, as well as the eyes and pink carved face of the youngest daughter Hu Lingling. I can't help it, "groan" for a long time, and even composed a song "The Road is Long,

Send Ni Hua", took a pen and wrote it down, and sang and considered it alone in the house, and finally sang it out loud: "It's a long way, and it's been a year since I left home." The road is long, and I don't feel that the sound is broken. Looking east of the old garden, I don't see Chang'an. The night rain and the river wet my green shirt. In the middle of the night, the bell rang to the passenger ship. It's been a long road, and it's been a year since I left home. The road is long, and I don't feel that the sound is broken. Banqiao is frosty, and the hotel lights are cold. The willows are new and green, and the side of Yuguan is on the side. The way back is far away, when will the bright moon shine on me. The road is long, and there are still ten thousand mountains here. The road is long, and the hometown is far away from Chu Yun. (Chu Yun obscured his eyes), who blows the reed pipe. Who blows the reed pipe, who blows the reed pipe, who blows the reed pipe at this time! Who blows the reed pipe at this time, who blows the reed pipe at this time! ”

The tune was euphemistic and sad, and Mr. Peng next door was upset when he heard it, threw down the pencil he was sketching on the map in his hand, and ran over and scolded: "You don't go to buy eggs for us to eat happy eggs, what are you howling here alone?" If you sing for a while, everyone has to think about their wives and children, how can this battle be fought? ”

Liu Yimin then packed up his feelings, took out his allowances and bonuses during this time, counted them, a full 17 yuan, called Song Renqiang, and took out 5 yuan to ask him to arrange for the soldiers to buy some eggs, invite the comrades to eat happy eggs, put the rest of the money in his pocket, and went out to the street to buy gifts for Ni Hua and his daughter.

At this time, due to the war, prices in most parts of the country soared, and the fiat currency continued to depreciate.

The renminbi has performed unexpectedly, maintaining a renminbi-to-dollar ratio to the silver dollar. One reason for this situation is that the "government" of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Zone has the support of the Tongguan Gold Mine and the Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area has the support of the strong capital of the Bohai Bank, which has ensured the good reputation of the renminbi; the other reason is that the Eighth Route Army has developed and grown in North China, and the vast rural areas are the base areas and guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army, and only by taking the renminbi can they buy grain from the villagers.

The Japanese army's military stamps and the joint coupons of the pseudo-United Bank are useless, and even the common people are unwilling to ask for fiat currency, and the purchasing power of the renminbi is not strong!

In broad daylight, Japanese planes flew "chaotically" in the sky, material transfers had to be stopped, and the troops were hidden. Mr. Zhu had nothing to do, so he took the guards to accompany Liu Yimin to the street, leaving Mr. Peng and Zuo Quan to sit in the headquarters.

The Eighth Route Army did not commit any crimes in the autumn, the trade was fair, and the Japanese planes did not bomb the urban area of Shimen, and there was a deformed phenomenon on Shimen Street, that is, all shops were open as usual, Liu Yimin and Mr. Zhu walked all the way, and saw many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army coming in and out of shops and restaurants, and they also came to open their eyes and buy things.
