Chapter Ninety-Three: The Holy Maiden Yueqin

Lin Yueqin is a native of Nanxi Street, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, and is twelve years younger than Luo Ronghuan. She joined the regiment in 1929 and joined the Red Fourth Front Army in 1930. In 1932, Zhang Guotao implemented a "leftist" land policy, and she was wrongly classified as a landlord because of her family composition, and she was sent to a labor camp. When the Fourth Front Army moved to Henan and Shaanxi, Lin Yueqin and several other female comrades were dismissed, but they still followed the ranks of the Red Army.

Later, Lin Yueqin and the others became the backbone of the army, Lin Yueqin once served as the commander of the women's engineer battalion, and her long-term military life has developed Lin Yueqin's hard-working style. In Yan'an, He Changgong introduced Lin Yueqin to Luo Ronghuan, and through a period of contact, the two fell in love. On May 16, 1937, the two were married. After getting married, Lin Yueqin has been taking care of Luo Ronghuan's life and has not worked again.

Lin Yueqin is a person who takes the overall situation into account, she knows the importance of her husband's work, how could she stop him from going to the front to command the battle at a critical moment? Just because she knew that Luo Ronghuan's condition was very serious and she couldn't stand such fatigue. She felt very aggrieved, but after thinking about it carefully, at this time, she couldn't persuade Luo Ronghuan alone, so she had to go out to "move troops".

At this moment, Xiao Dongjin, who was playing in the yard, heard his parents arguing for the first time, leaned on the window and peeked, and saw his mother come out, with tears on his face, and he cried with "wow" in fright. Lin Yueqin couldn't take care of him anymore, so she went straight to Li Yu's residence and told Li Yu about Luo Ronghuan's desire to ride a horse to the front. Li Yu hurriedly went to persuade Luo Ronghuan, and then dispelled Luo Ronghuan's idea of going to Linyi.

In the more than ten years they have been married, this is the only quarrel between Luo Ronghuan and Lin Yueqin during the Anti-Japanese War.

On 26 August, Li Zuopeng returned to Dadian from Linyi and reported: "...... The situation on the front line in Linyi, this is like this. ”

After Luo Ronghuan listened to the report, "I have repeatedly emphasized that Linyi is the junction of the three districts of Binhai, Central and Southern Lu, and this nail must be removed." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zuopeng said.

Luo Ronghuan criticized: "Because the idea of underestimating the enemy is too heavy, it has directly caused military defeats......

"Yes, yes...... But ......" Li Zuopeng stammered.

"But what?" Luo Ronghuan waved his hand, "Now I have issued the next battle plan, that is, on the one hand, to launch a political offensive against the enemy at the front of the position, and on the other hand, to carry out secret tunnel operations in the northwest corner of the city, and prepare to dig the tunnel under the city wall for blasting. ”

"Okay, that's a great idea!" Li Yu and Xiao Hua at the meeting agreed to this plan.

Luo Ronghuan continued: "Luo Huasheng, commander of the Second Division, Wu Ruilin, commander of the Fourth Division, Wang De, deputy chief of the Operations Section, and Yin Jian, staff officer, are now sent to Linyi to assist Li Zuopeng in his work. ”

"Yes!" Luo Huasheng, Wu Ruilin and Yin Jian all stood on the right path at the same time.

After Li Zuopeng returned to the Linyi front with his troops, he held an operational meeting on 28 August to sum up the lessons of the previous failed sieges and determine the operational arrangements.

Midday. The work of digging tunnels began.

The entrance to the road is located in the headquarters of Luo Huasheng, the division commander. The commander-in-chief of the tunnel project is Luo Huasheng. Deputy commander-in-chief Wang De and Yin Jian.

At the beginning of the project, Li Zuopeng, Wu Ruilin, and Luo Huasheng all watched the scene and made some political mobilization.

Luo Huasheng divided the young adults who participated in digging tunnels into three professional teams - one is called the excavation team, which is responsible for excavating the soil; One is called a sliding team, which is responsible for lifting soil; One is called a transport team, which is responsible for transporting earth.

On the construction site, the planing and digging, the pickaxe and the shovel rise and fall, and the sonorous sound is one. The people who participated in the digging of the tunnel, although the sweat on their heads and faces were flowing down the temple river, everyone was energetic and smiling.

But yes, whether we can quickly conquer the enemy's stronghold, the key issue is the way to transport **. Now, the method has been figured out, and the digging of the tunnel has also started, which means that the capture of Linyi is in front of us, and the enemy is about to finish, how can people not be happy?

However, it is really strange to say! Just when people were happy, Luo Huasheng suddenly frowned.

This was yesterday? Everyone was wondering, Luo Huasheng suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stop!" ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Dezhu ignored Division Commander Luo's meaning, he wiped the sweat on his front with the back of his hand, and asked in surprise: "Division Commander, why is this?" ”

"No why." Luo Huasheng pointed in the direction of the stronghold, "This place is so close to Linyi City, and the sound of this pickaxe is so loud, if you touch it, can the enemy hear it?" ”

"Hearing is audible!" Wang De replied.

"How can that work? It's not going to be exposed! ”

"It's fine." Li Zuopeng disagreed! Interrupted, "it! What if the enemy hears it? He didn't dare to come out anyway, for fear that he would be a fart! ”

"Chief Li, I don't think it's easy to say!" Master Luo said.

"Why can't you say?" Li Zuopeng recognized the truth.

"No matter what, as long as the enemy is prepared, it will not be easy to succeed!" Luo Huasheng said, "Even in today's situation, although we have an advantage, we still have to be surprised!" ”

"That's right!" Li De frowned, "What should I do?" ”

"Comrades!" Luo Huasheng said confidently, "The way, you have to ask the masses!" ”

"Good!" Li Zuopeng, Li De and others nodded.

Then, they organized all the people on the construction site, and a lively discussion began. Three leather shoemakers, better than Zhuge Liang. After the meeting, during the presentation, the various discussion groups came up with a number of ideas.

Li De is also a representative of the group. He was the first to speak: "The result of the discussion of our group is similar to the opinion of the group of the head of the regiment -- it is also advocated that the gongs, drums, and cymbals should all be taken out and smashed. ……”

Wu Ruilin nodded. But then he raised a new question: "This method can suppress the sound of digging tunnels." However, if we beat the gongs and drums for no reason, will the enemy suspect it? As soon as they are suspicious, they may guess a ** that is not far from ten! ……”

"Yes!" Yin Jianshou finally spoke, "In the group I joined, someone proposed to use the method of shooting guns to suppress the sound of digging tunnels. ”

"No way!" Wu Ruilin shook his head and said, "How many bullets do you need?" ”

Yin Jian was silent.

For a while, Luo Huasheng has been smoking. He smoked a cigarette while listening to everyone's discussion and pondering. When he heard this, his mind suddenly flashed, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Li Zuopeng, who has dealt with Luo Huasheng for many years, immediately saw Luo Huasheng's expression, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then he leaned over, poked Watson, and asked hopefully, "Watson, what do you want to do?" ”

"Nope!" Luo Huasheng shook his head, "I didn't come up with anything famous." ”

"And what are you laughing at?" Li Zuopeng asked inexplicably.

"I think the 'name' they came up with is good!" Luo Huasheng said.

"What ...... 'famous' about them?" Li Zuopeng asked with a stammer. (..)
