Chapter 92 Luo Shuai was angry

Under the leadership of Luo Ronghuan, Chen Shiyu, Li Yu, Xiao Hua, and others, the Shandong Eighth Route Army fought day and night, and its subordinate units mobilized, marched, expanded, and organized at the same time, braved the scorching heat, and traveled day and night, and soon swept through the enemy-occupied small and medium-sized cities in the Shandong Liberated Area, and began to advance rapidly toward the big cities and major transportation routes.

Under the leadership of front-line commander Wang Jian'an and political commissar Luo Shunchu, the Luzhong troops cut off the western section of the Jiaoji Road and advanced to Jinan from the southeast.

The coastal troops were the second road, led by the front-line commander Chen Shiyu and political commissar Tang Liang, to conquer Jiaoxian County and cut off the eastern section of Jiaoji Road; Occupy Ju County, Rizhao, Ganyu and Qingkou in the south, cut off the eastern section of Longhai Road, and approach Haizhou and Lianyungang.

The Jiaodong troops were the third route, under the leadership of the front-line commander Xu Shiyou and political commissar Lin Hao, they liberated Weihaiwei, Muping, Yantai, Fushan, Penglai, Huangxian, Longkou, Zhaoyuan, Laiyang, Shidao, Jimo, and broke through the enemy's Laoshan defense line, captured Liuting Airport, and approached Qingdao.

Under the leadership of front-line commander Yang Guofu and political commissar Jing Xiaocun, the Bohai troops liberated Changyi, Shouguang, Linzi, Guangrao, Boxing, Gaoyuan, Huantai, Changshan, Yangxin, Linyi, Zouping, Ningjin, Wuqiao, and Xindian, cut off the middle section of the Jiaoji Road, joined the first road army, and approached Jinan from the northeast.

The Lunan army was the fifth route, led by the front-line commander Zhang Guangzhong and the political commissar Wang Lushui, cut off the Jinpu Road, liberated Surabaya, Qufu, Taierzhuang and Guanzhuang railway stations, and marched to Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Among these offensives, only the Battle of Linyi lasted the longest and was the most intense, and Commander Luo Ronghuan devoted a lot of effort to this operation.

On 15 August, Japan officially announced its surrender, and Tokyo Radio broadcast Emperor Hirohito's "Armistice Edict." The next day, the Japanese troops stationed in Linyi fled to Zaozhuang, and only the troops of Xu Lansheng, the captain of the puppet security brigade, were left in Linyi, and the Shao Zihou division of the puppet Fei County security brigade was also concentrated in Linyi City.

They also coordinated with Wang Hongjiu's troops who were entrenched in the fortified area north of Linyi and southwest of Wanggou. These three puppet armies, totaling more than 4,000 people, attempted to resist stubbornly by relying on strong fortifications and a large number of weapons, ammunition and food left behind by the Japanese army when they fled.

The Shandong Military Region decided to organize the Binhai Old Sixth Regiment, the Shandong Military Region Special Service Regiment, the Eleventh Luzhong Regiment, and the Linshu ** Regiment to attack the city. Since each regiment belonged to different units, Luo Ronghuan said at the meeting: "Since Chen Shiyu, chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region, is not at home, it is difficult to withdraw from the battle, and my body is not very good for who to command?" ”

"Then let me go, I must be the old director of the political department of the military region, and I still have a bit of prestige!" Xiao Hua said anxiously.

"No, no, no! You are Lao Luo's right-hand man, or do you want me to go! Li Yu argued.

"Don't fight, just send Li Zuopeng, chief of staff of the military region, to the front line of Linyi to command!" Luo Ronghuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Ahh Li Yu and Xiao Hua opened their mouths at the same time.

"I know that his work ability is not very good compared to the two and Shiyu, but the three of you are my old Luo's right and left hands. Shiyu is not here, there are only the two of you, and the other military divisions still want us to be in command, and neither of the two can do without it! For this reason, he had no choice but to call him to go. Luo Ronghuan said helplessly.

On 20 and 22 August, under the command of Li Zuopeng, the troops launched several attacks, but they were unsuccessful due to poor preparation, poor coordination, and strong enemy fortifications, and the besieging troops suffered heavy casualties.

All the commanders and fighters were outraged by the stubborn resistance of the traitors and scum. In several attacks, our soldiers showed a high degree of bravery and tenacity, and in the southeast corner of the city, our troops crossed the outer trench and flew over the city in five minutes under the cover of accurate fire from our artillery team.

However, the ladder was broken, and the follow-up troops could not go up, and the five warriors who went to the city repeatedly charged several times with the enemy who was alone and one or two hundred counter-charges, captured two hand cannons of the enemy, and once occupied the large pillbox in the southeast corner of the city.

During the attack on the eastern city, our fighters bravely climbed the city by ladders under the enemy's dense grenade platoon. The warrior Fu Yanxiang held the ladder with his shoulders to prevent it from sliding down the city, dozens of enemies threw him with grenades at once, he was wounded in eleven places, and his clothes were completely soaked in blood, but he still stood like a man of steel against the ladder in the flames of the grenade explosion......

At that time, Luo Ronghuan led the military region organs to Dadian, and he did not understand the situation of attacking Linyi, and he wanted to go to the front line several times, but due to poor health and repeated obstructions by Li Yu, Xiao Hua and others, he did not succeed.

When the battle of Linyi was in full swing, Luo Ronghuan's condition was becoming more and more serious. When he heard that the siege had failed, he was very anxious, so he called out to the guards: "Go and prepare the horses and go to Linyi!" ”

The guard went out for a few circles and came back, and said in a rambling voice, "Report to the chief, I can't find the groom." ”

"Can't find the groom? Bring the animals! Luo Ronghuan was a little angry.

The guard said timidly, "I don't know where the horse went." ”

Luo Ronghuan was really angry: "Play the piano randomly!" What kind of fame are you doing? If Linyi affects the overall situation, I will kill you! ”

What is famous, Luo Ronghuan's wife Lin Yueqin knows best. It turned out that just now the guard went to Lin Yueqin and told him that Luo Ronghuan asked him to prepare a horse to go to Linyi. Lin Yueqin knew that Luo Ronghuan was seriously ill and couldn't ride a horse at all, so she was so anxious that she had to let the groom take the horse away. At this time, she saw that Luo Ronghuan was really angry, and she couldn't show up, so she walked up to Luo Ronghuan and said, "It's not about the guards, I asked the groom to take the horse away." ”

After Lin Yueqin said, Luo Ronghuan suppressed the fire, but his face was ugly, and the guards hid out when they saw that things were not easy. At this time, Luo Ronghuan sternly asked Lin Yueqin: "Why are you making your own decisions like this? Who gave you the right to this? ”

Lin Yueqin replied calmly: "This is the doctor's order. Dr. Rosente said that you have been very ill recently, and you should be absolutely bedridden, not only can you not ride a horse, but also cannot sit in a car or carriage, this is the right that the doctor gave me! ”

"Nonsense!" Luo Ronghuan's fire was even bigger, "Rest, rest, Linyi can't fight, how can I rest at ease?" ”

"When is it called Feihua!?" Lin Yueqin also became anxious, "Your illness is so serious, you have to ride a horse to Linyi, you don't want to die, I still want this home!" ”

"If Linyi can't be opened, it will increase the worries about the counteroffensive of Binhai, Luzhong, and Lunan, is this a trivial matter? At such an important moment, you won't let me go to the front, are you a ** member?! ”

"I'm not a ** member, I'm a Kuomintang? A ** member doesn't want to die and don't want home!? Speaking of this, Lin Yueqin's eyes flashed with tears. Since she got married, she had never heard her husband say such a heavy thing and lose such a temper with herself. She felt aggrieved and sad. (..)
