Shijiuzui is located on the east side of Rizhao City, and is a small harbor between Qingdao and Lianyungang on the Yellow Coast. In fact, it is a small bow-shaped bay formed by Shijiuzui and Kuishanzui about three or five nautical miles southwest.
Shijiu Institution was originally just a small fishing village. There are two statements about the origin of the village. One is that in the Song Dynasty, fishermen who wandered around the ocean stopped and tied cables at the southeast corner headland, went ashore to pound rice to feed, forming many mortar-shaped stone pits, so it was called "Shijiu"; the other is that Li Bao, the general of Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, stationed troops here after defeating Jin, and named it "Shijiu" pestle rice. However, Shijiu Village became Shijiu Institution in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, in order to prevent Japanese pirates from landing and harassing, the court set up a "Preparation Thousand Households" in Shijiu Village, which was first called Shijiu Institution.
After the reopening of the sea ban in the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, merchant ships departing from Shijiu could already directly connect to Taiwan Island.
After Germany occupied Jiaozhou Bay, German ships drove from Shijiu Institute, which brought foreign goods and took away specialties such as grain and peanut oil in Southeast Shandong. When the Japanese replaced the Germans to occupy Qingdao, there were irregular flights from Qingdao to Shijiu Institute.
Before the Lugou Bridge Incident, He Ren'an, president of the Shijiu Institute Chamber of Commerce, was the largest private shipping owner in North China. He owned more than a dozen ships. He set up the "Changji Ship Company Headquarters" at the intersection of Shanghai Road and Guantao Road in Qingdao, and also had branches in Tianjin and Shanghai to engage in maritime transportation. At that time, Shijiu Institute became a small trading port, exporting nearly 7 million dans of goods each year and importing more than 12 million dans of goods.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, the Japanese army conspired to capture Qingdao. Chiang Kai-shek ordered Shen Honglie to implement the scorched earth resistance war, and the shipwrecked blocked the Qingdao Port channel. He Ren'an actively responded to Shen Honglie's call and sank seven of his ten ships, taking the lead in blocking the channel. "Changji Ship Company Headquarters", retreated with Shen Honglie, and organized anti-Japanese armed forces in the Shijiusuo area.
The reason why He Ren'an listened to Shen Honglie so much was because he had a good relationship with Shen Honglie. Shen Honglie had helped him a lot. The reason was the Liu Heiqi bandit gang. In September 1931, more than 1,000 Liu Heiqi bandit gangs rushed to the near Shijiu Institute, setting up camps, and preparing to capture Shijiu Institute, which he had been coveting for a long time. He Ren'an had no choice but to ask Shen Honglie, who was in charge of Qingdao. Shen Honglie sent a warship to Shijiu Institute. The lights of the warship arrived at night scared the local gang Liu Heiqi and ran away with his head in his arms. From then on, he knew that He Ren'an and Shen Honglie had a close relationship and never dared to make Shijiu Institute again.
After the encirclement, He Ren'an took the money paid by merchants of Shijiu Institute and went to Qingdao to thank Shen Honglie. Unexpectedly, Shen Honglie confiscated a penny and kept lamenting that the country was incompetent, which led to the riots. After He Ren'an returned, the people of Shijiu Institute were grateful for Shen Honglie's kindness and integrity, and could not repay them. They raised funds to build a navigation beacon lighthouse on all sides of the southeast corner of Shijiu's mouth. The tower was 13.7 meters high and octagonal on eight sides. The coordinates were: 35°2254' north latitude and 119°3324' east longitude. In the first place, they were navigational for ships sailing at night, and came to remember Shen Honglie's kindness forever.
After the Japanese occupied Shijiu Institute, they had three headquarters in Shijiu. The Marine Corps of the Navy was stationed outside the South Gate, the Army was stationed in the northwest gate, and the Gendarmerie Command was stationed at the west of the South Bian Road in Cross Street. In addition, the Qingdao Fishery Combined Shijiu Institute branch was established, which was the ruling agency of Shijiu Institute to manage aquatic and maritime affairs. The Japanese also built a trestle and four large warehouses, and organized a labor department, which was divided into sampan labor and warehouse labor. The sampan labor was responsible for loading and unloading work from the ship to the dock, and the warehouse labor was responsible for loading and unloading work from the warehouse to the dock.
Since the Eighth Route Army recovered southeastern Shandong, Shijiu Institute has become an important aquatic base in the southeastern Shandong base. The fish, shrimp, kelp, etc. produced on the sea are loaded with wheelbarrows unique to the southeastern Shandong region from Shijiu Institute, and squeaking to various parts of Shandong, southern Shandong, and central Shandong, enriching the base market.
On February 10, 1941, on the Lantern Festival, Liu Yimin drove to Shijiu Institute.
That night, the Shijiu Shou was filled with joy. Lanterns were lit in front of the doors of each merchant, competing for beauty. Children and young people lingered in front of the riddle stalls, busy guessing riddles. On the stage of the public office by the sea, a big show was singing, gongs and drums were loud and melodious. The stalls and vendors around the theater shouted that dried fish, melon seeds, and fried peanuts made the Shijiu Shou, a small harbor town with more than 3,000 people, more lively.
After Liu Yimin arrived at the Shijiu Institute, he washed up briefly and had some food. With the arriving of Guo Zihua, secretary of the Southeast Shandong District Party Committee, Wang Nanhu, commander of the 12th Corps, and political commissar Tang Liang, enjoying the night view of Shijiu Institute.
The sea under the night sky seems so deep, and the sound of waves hitting the coast comes one after another. The lights in the town and the lights on fishing boats in the harbor are complemented by each other, which is a night view of the harbor.
Liu Yimin stood under the lighthouse in front of the Dragon King Temple. The sea breeze blew his military coat, bringing two crystal snowflakes into his heart.
On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the lights will be turned on. I wonder what the hexagonal snowflakes will hit the young general’s heart!
Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman and Tang Xiuer, who had just been tamed by Liu Yimin, were traveling to the Dragon King Temple at night with flashlights, and laughter kept coming.
It was because Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman were able to accompany them because Liu Yimin felt sorry for them and wanted them to see the beautiful scenery by the sea. Tang Xiuer was Liu Yimin who had to take her with him. Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu had not returned to the Dadian headquarters yet. No one in the Eighth Route Army headquarters was the opponent of Tang Xiuer, who was skilled in martial arts. Although she had shown her loyalty now, Liu Yimin had to bring her with her because her loyalty required time and the test of war. Especially Xiao Dongjin, who was once held hostage by him, saw her and pulled a pistol in his mother's waist. Liu Yimin couldn't do it or not, and could not pass the barriers between Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong. In Cai Zhong's words, No. 1 would take her wherever she wanted, the farther away, the better. It would be better to let her never come back.
Wang Nanhu pointed to the terrain around Shijiu Institute in the night and introduced to Liu Yimin: "Commander, there is Lingshan Island in the northeast of this Shijiu Institute, Sishan, Gongshan, Chengshan in the northwest, Kuishan Mountain in the southwest, and Lanshantou in the southwest. A flat land extends to the seaside. From Shijiuzui to Kuishanzui, it happens to be a bow-shaped bay. The coast is long and there are shallows, and the foundations of the mountains and seas are granite. It is said that after the Kansai earthquake in Japan, a lot of granite was transported from here to Tokyo for construction. Later, it was stopped because the cost was too high and the cost was too high. Compared with Qingdao and Lianyun, the coast here is not as steep as the reefs, but it is actually a good harbor that can be developed against the vast yellow sea."
Guo Zihua continued: "No. 1, Shijiu Institute has the Yanshi Highway directly to Yanzhou and the road leading south to Qingdao. Its strategic position is very important, and its commercial road position is also very important."
Xiang Ying, the third secretary of the Shandong Bureau who accompanied Liu Yimin and deputy political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, asked Guo Zihua in detail when the fish news was here.
Guo Zihua replied that from April to December every year, all fishing periods are: knife fish, shrimp, octopus, bass, maw, shark fin, etc.
Then, Guo Zihua introduced to Liu Yimin and Xiang Ying: "This Shijiu Institute is a granite stone city. The wall is 1,500 meters in length and 8 meters high. All are made of granite. Even the roads on the streets are paved with granite. This is probably the only one in the country. Shijiu Institute is divided into two parts outside the city. There are four districts including Taiping Street, Baoan Street, Xuanfu Street, and Gong'an Street. There are district offices and outside the city.
There are many small alleys. There are no two-story buildings in the city, all of which are bungalows and ridge rooms. Most of the beams are made of wood, sorghum poles are added to combine some mud, the top is covered with tiles or grass, the outer layer of the wall is granite, and the inner layer is covered with mud. The yard is larger, and there are usually main halls, storage rooms, kitchens, etc. The doors of each house face south, which facilitate protection against northwest winds and seasonal winds in winter, but the windows in each house are small, and the lighting and ventilation are very poor."
Xiang Ying nodded straight after hearing this, praising Guo Zihua for his meticulousness, solid work, and thorough understanding of the situation.
Standing by the beach of Shijiusuo in the night, Liu Yimin seemed to see a little white sail coming towards the port with the company of seagulls. He couldn't help but feel tenderness in his heart. Regardless of whether the sea water is cold or not, he took off his shoes and socks and walked towards the beach. Xiang Ying, Guo Zihua, Wang Nanhu, Tang Liang and others behind him all exclaimed and called him back.
Walking on the beach, stepping on soft and cold sand, Liu Yimin felt like he was overturning. The sea water of this small harbor was shallow, and large Japanese warships could not get close to them. They could only transport infantry to land through landing crafts, motorboats, etc. When the tide was low, Japanese infantry could also wade ashore. This unique condition was rare. As long as a heavy artillery regiment, a rocket launcher, and an air defense regiment were stationed here, you could protect the safety of the port. Our army could focus on building large wooden sailboats here, and then retreating Qingdao's fleet to hide here. In the future, they could organize a fleet. If Ni Hua was lucky enough to rent or buy some warships from the United States, he would have certain strength and strive to transport troops from a brigade or even a column to the northeast or to Taiwan at a time. The Japanese army unknowingly gave it a surprise attack and attack it.
You should know that in history, after the main force of the Kwantung Army was transferred to the Pacific battlefield in 1943, the Kwantung Army became an empty stance, and its strength increased again after 1943.
The Japanese army's Taiwan army's strength was even weaker. At this time, the Taiwan army's mixed brigade had been expanded into the 48th Division and was fighting in South China. The Taiwan army had not even a decent field force except for the garrison troops. If the Japanese army had not launched the Pacific War at this time and the navy was too strong, Liu Yimin even thought that he could transport a column to attack and occupy Taiwan Island.
It is now early spring of 1941. The Japanese army will concentrate their efforts to attack the ** team in a crazy way to lay the foundation for their southward journey. The fleet that stayed in Qingdao is in danger, and Hong Kong Island is in danger. We have to hurry up and evacuate the fleet that stayed in Qingdao and the scholars who stayed in Hong Kong.
Liu Yimin thought while walking on the coast, but couldn't help but whistle to the sky.
His long roar shocked Zhao Xiaoman, who was playing in the Dragon King Temple. He ran out and saw that Liu Yimin's shadow on the beach was extremely blurred in the night, and he could not be seen at all.
Tang Xingying panicked and shouted and ran towards the beach.
After Liu Yimin finished his long roar, he felt relieved and began to turn his head and walk back. He heard the sound of wind from afar. Tang Xingying, mixed with the sound of sea waves, shouted with crying voices. When he looked again, the silly girl's flashlight was shaking in the night, he knew that Tang Xingying was worried about her and was chasing her.
Liu Yimin ran away and met as fast as possible. When he came to the front, he saw Tang Xingying's eyes were filled with tears, his lips were dark blue, and the sea water was poured into his leather boots, and the cotton military trousers were half wet.
Liu Yimin was so panicked that he picked up Tang Xingying, took off her little leather boots and the military shoes he was carrying, tied them with shoelaces and put them on his shoulders, twisted the water under her cotton military pants, and then carried her into her arms, wrapped them in a military coat, and returned to the Dragon King Temple.
During the night break, Liu Yimin blamed Tang Xingying for being ignorant. How could lesbians be soaked in cold water at will? If they get sick, they wouldn't be fooled!
Tang Xingying sat in the quilt, holding ginger soup in her hand, and whispered: "The two of Ni Hua and I can't come back. I know you feel uncomfortable and afraid that you will be confused again. The sea is not as good as a small river. If you fall in a confused state, will my children and I live?"
Tang Xingying's words turned the passionate Liu Yimin into a tender and infatuated person!
Early the next morning, Liu Yimin inspected the secret military port built by Guo Zihua in Shijiu Institute, and then held a military meeting at Shijiu Institute, announcing the establishment of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Military Region Naval School and Coastal Defense Detachment to guard Shijiu Institute.
Zhu Rui also served as the principal of the Naval School, political commissar, and commander of the Coastal Defense Detachment. The vice principal and deputy commander of the detachment were Zhou Zijian, who was sent to work in the Qingdao merchant fleet.
Liu Yimin has reported to the Central Committee that Zhu Rui will soon return to Shandong and shoulder the important task of forming the Eighth Route Army Navy.
The first class of the Naval School was selected from the various units of our army in Shandong, with the conditions being that the high school education level, party members, and a certain English and Japanese foundation. Starting from the second class, students were recruited nationwide. The instructors were selected from Ni Hua's retired U.S. Navy instructors recruited by Ni Hua from the United States, supplementing Shen Honglie's lost personnel from the former Northeast Naval School.
The Coast Defense Detachment is expanded based on the Maritime Guards of the Southeast Shandong Military Region, the Maritime Regiment of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, the merchant fleet in Qingdao and the An Tinggen headquarters of the Shandong Security Corps developed by the teaching team of the former Third Fleet of the Navy of Liugongdao.
Historically, An Tinggen's troops surrendered under the high pressure of the Japanese and puppets, and were later destroyed by our Jiaodong troops. Now, since Liu Yimin had long wanted to form a coastal defense force and ordered the Jiaodong Military Region to send people to continue to do An Tinggen's work, An Tinggen's troops joined our army.
Among these troops, except for the Ludong Military Region's maritime guard team, there are 1,500 people, the other Hebei-Shandong border maritime regiments, An Tinggen's troops have very few people, all of which are about 500, and they need to supplement troops and equipment in the southeastern Shandong region.
Dear book friends: vote for it! Shanren is panicked. I beg you!
