Chapter 22: The traitor's plan
In 1944, due to the large-scale sweep and destruction of the Yimeng mountain base area by the Japanese invaders, the leading organs of the party, government, and army, such as the Shandong Branch and the 115th Division, were successively transferred to the Lanshan area of Rizhao.
During this period of time, it became one of the core areas of the leadership and command of the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong, and Luo Ronghuan, Chen Guang, Li Yu, Chen Shiyu, Xiao Hua, Gu Mu, etc. all worked and lived here.
In the same year, the situation of World War II changed greatly, Japan's Pacific defense circle was broken, Tojo Hideki's cabinet collapsed, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army developed rapidly and won successive victories.
Under these circumstances, the Shandong Military Region's military work conference, which is of great significance to guiding Shandong to win the victory of the counteroffensive in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was held.
As a result, Luo Ronghuan, secretary of the Shandong Sub-Bureau and commander and political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, pointed out in his summary report: "Behind enemy lines, the basic situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak has not changed. We must persist in taking decentralized guerrilla warfare as our basic policy. In order to improve the tactics of tackling tough problems, our army should pay special attention to the combination of military and political offensives, strive for the uprising of the puppet army, and strike at the enemy in a coordinated manner. At the same time, it is necessary to appropriately concentrate forces for mobile operations. The meeting, which lasted nearly three months, was of great significance to the military construction and operational command of the troops of the Shandong Military Region and to strive for greater victories. ”
On 23 July, the morning of the second day of the meeting in Beikuo Town, Lanshan, Mou Fashan, who was only five or six years old at the time, was playing in his own yard, which was only a dozen meters away from Luo Ronghuan's former residence and the meeting place.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a roar in the east, two Japanese fighters flew by, and then a bomb exploded in the yard, killing Mou Fashan's aunt who was doing housework at home on the spot......
During the air raid, Japanese planes dropped 12 bombs, killing four villagers and wounding nine. Naturally, the Japanese planes rushed from Qingdao to attack, and the target was not the villagers, but the location of the Shandong Military Region's military work conference, which was being held a few steps away from Mu Fashan's house.
At that time, the meeting was attended by 138 cadres at and above the regimental level of the Shandong Anti-Japanese War troops led by our party, and the meeting was presided over by Luo Ronghuan. One of the bombs landed in front of the courtyard of the venue, wounding a staff officer of the security guard, and the meeting had to be suspended. Obviously, the commanders of our army who "sacrificed their lives to go to the country and looked at death as if they were going home" would not back down because of this, but because they suspected that there was a traitor and informant, the meeting was transferred to several places after that, and finally ended in Junan Jiqian Village.
On the second day of the air raid, Fang Fang, chief of the reconnaissance section of the Binhai Naval District, drove his horse down the bustling streets, looking ahead with a pair of vigilant eyes. According to reconnaissance, the enemy is near the Rizhao Lanshan area: a secret radio station, and Fang Xiao is looking for the location of this radio station according to the detection instrument. Suddenly, the messenger came to inform him, and Commander Chen ordered him to go back immediately to take over the mission.
At noon on the eighth day of the meeting, Fang Xiao quickly returned to the Binhai Naval Region Headquarters and walked into Commander Chen's office......
Therefore, the commander said to Fang Xiao: "There is an important task for calling you back: The superiors have received information that this bombing by enemy planes is a 'hurricane operation' that the enemy has specially sabotaged at the meeting of our Shandong Military Region, and we must quickly investigate and solve the case." There are no clues to this case now. Seven days have passed as of today, and we must smash the enemy's 'Operation Hurricane' and defend the safety of the Shandong Military Region and other military and government organs and the people. ”
At this time, Hosokawa Tadayasu, commander of the 43 rd Army of the Japanese Army, was presiding over a military meeting in Qingdao, and the big and small leaders who participated in the "sweep" were scolded by him to the point of blood, especially to the commander of the Air Force, who scolded the Air Force for dropping too few bombs and for not blowing up the meeting place of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.
The commander of the Qingdao garrison of the Japanese army, Nagano Eiji, had an idea at this moment, and thought that the method of using Chinese traitors to collude with traitors might be able to solve the puzzle that the Eighth Route Army organs in Shandong had not been eliminated, right? Just like the meaning of the Chinese folk slang saying that "people can hold people to heaven", in order to solve the mystery of the Eighth Route Army's Shandong Military Region and local troops and militia cooperating so ingeniously. It is not difficult to understand that Ye Rongji is in great need of translator Sun Jian at this time.
At this time, Hou interpreter Sun Jian was watching the ants move on the side of the road. The agricultural proverb says: It will rain on the day when the ants move. He was figuring out what Eiji Nagano needed after the Japanese military conference.
Ye Rongji saw the translator Sun Jian at a glance, and shouted affectionately: "Haha, brother! The ancients of your country said: 'If you don't see each other, you don't see each other', and we are like three autumns gone. You're back to your hometown again, congratulations, brother! What are you busy with there? ”
"Report to the commander, I'm busy with Sino-Japanese goodwill!" Sun said earnestly and humorously, "I gathered the coolies we collected from the 'Love Village' in the 'Guarantee District'. It also gathered the coolies we collected on the way to the expedition. I gave them a meeting to speak. Call on two kinds of people to stand up, one is those who are familiar with the Yimeng Mountains, and the other is those who have relatives and friends with the locals. ”
"This ......"
"I specifically state that there is another important use for these two kinds of people, and they are no longer used as coolies. At first, they didn't seem to understand what I said, but I repeatedly called for and encouraged, repeatedly explaining that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the Great East Asia Holy War, and that there would be no such shop in this village, and that this opportunity was rare and should not be missed, and those who understood this truth should quickly stand up. ”
"Good! Keep talking! ”
"Yes! I said that in the end, three people came forward. Seeing this situation, I understand a truth: this is why we should also strengthen the propaganda and appeasement work and publicize the benefits and happiness of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. ”
"Mixi! Go on. ”
"Hey! So I organized these people into a propaganda team, and first let them practice their voices and understand some of the principles of the new order in Greater East Asia. When the imperial army entered the mountains to clear and suppress, first, let them lead the way to search the mountains, and second, let them promote the royal paradise of Greater East Asia. When cleaning up the battlefield, you might as well shout for the Imperial Army: The Imperial Japanese Army will not kill the good Chinese people, treat the prisoners preferentially, and surrender the guns and not kill ......"
Without waiting for Sun Jie's smelly fart to finish, Ye Rongji interjected: "Brother, you did a good job!" You have a lot of energy to sell to the Great East Asian Jihad. The enthusiasm for Sino-Japanese goodwill is high! ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do!"
"But, brother! We must always do everything lightly and carefully, far and near, fast and slow. Is it? This treasure land under our feet is the hometown of my brother. The proverb of your country says: 'Do you kiss the people of your hometown,' and we have been bombing with planes according to intelligence for a week, and there has been no great effect. Have you seen people from your hometown? Have you ever been in touch with a friend you've met in Rizhao? How effective was our 'Bitter Meat Meter' last time? I want to know! ”
"Mine is arranged!"
"Brother, as the saying goes: plant melons and get melons, and plant beans and get beans. The last time I planted a big watermelon, I wonder if it blossomed and bore fruit? Dude, do you remember? I'm talking about the other day, we used the 'bitter meat trick' to let the old man Wu who was shot in Rizhao ......"
"Remember! Remember! How dare I forget the plan set up by the commander! I was about to report to the commander. Sun Jian said with a smile, "I have seen Old Man Wu again, and he has three words of praise for me to pass on to the commander." ”
"What did he compliment?"
"The first point, he praised the commander for using the trick as fast as lightning, in the blink of an eye, he ate a bullet, and he didn't feel the pain yet, Daqing's 'bitter meat plan' succeeded!"
"What this old soft-shelled turtle said is quite flavorful and chewy!"
"Second, he praised the painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs given by the commander. The wound is not painful or rotten, and it will heal soon. In addition to thanking the commander for his kindness, he also admired the scientific civilization of Great Japan, and healing wounds was better than a god's grasp. It can be called the hegemon of Greater East Asia. ”
"It's good that this old miscellaneous hair doesn't hurt and learns to howl!" Noeiji laughed.
Thirdly, he praised the commander for his resolute and resolute behavior in the sunshine, and wiped out all the obedient and eloquent lives in the valley. Old man Wu said that if he hadn't been in the last 'sweep', he would have been exposed to his yin and yang faces long ago. He has long since lost his freedom of movement. He praised the commander for his bloody bloodbath of Zhuangzi as a wise measure to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots and leave only the crops and seedlings!"
"Meet again and tell that old Wang Ba, he is not a crop seedling, he is a ginseng seedling! It is a ginseng seedling that adds branches and leaves to the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle! ”
"The two inside eyes and ears that the old turtle found for us have also seen it. Shi Jin, nicknamed Shell Lang, also took out a wine jug and drank a glass of heart-to-heart wine with me! ”
Ye Rongji asked seriously: "This Shi Jin's nickname is Shell Lang, how is his personality?" ”
"It was my wine and meat friend in Jiazhuangzi more than ten years ago, and I was a friend to relieve boredom and leisure. He has a lot of ideas for people, things, and chess..."
"Our plan is to need people with ideas. And what about the other one? ”
"The other is our cousin, who I haven't seen for more than ten years...... Shell Lang said that when he assisted the imperial army to exterminate the Eighth Route Army, he was a front-end actor, and everything was done by my brother......"
"See your cousin? Is he in direct contact with you? Can he do it? Is it the same heart as the Imperial Japanese Army? ”
"Don't worry, Commander, the old turtle also assured on the spot that he said that none of the hunting dogs he trained were sheep, and that the hunting dogs were hunting dogs."
"Congratulations, brother, your cousins have been reunited today after more than ten years of separation!" Ye Eiji said, "You two like-minded brothers are walking on the same road today, walking on the bright road of 'friendship between Japan and China, coexistence and common prosperity'!" Brother, brotherly affection, like hands and feet. Brothers together, the future is bright. You brothers are a perfect match! You repeat, what's your cousin's name? ”
"The commander smiled, and his cousin's rustic name is Wu Shangjin."
"Good, good! You talked about the Imperial Army's decision to clear the Yimeng Mountains and the bombing of the Shandong Military Region venue by planes? "This is an important issue at the moment. So, what's the content? ”
"There's a little secret about the elimination and bombing of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Have a little secret to defeating the Eighth Route Army? The tone is not small! Ha ha! Tell me about it, brother! ”
"What we ourselves think is the secret, maybe not necessarily the secret!" Sun Jian said, "If you want to say that it is a secret, this secret also comes from the experience of the imperial army in this iron-walled siege of Jiazizhuang Village. My brother knew that the last time the main force of the Eighth Route Army jumped out of the iron wall and closed the siege, it was so clever that they did not rely on the radio, but by sending underground workers to send letters to communicate. ”
"Eight grids!"
"They have a lot of intelligence enemy stations and underground command posts in this Yimeng Mountains. The Rizhao area also has their intelligence enemy work stations and underground command posts, and they relied on the communication between the intelligence enemy work stations to closely cooperate and jump out of the iron wall of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, and they were lucky enough to avoid our plane bombs! ”(..)
