While Gao Yuan, Hu Huhu, Li Chang, Cheng Cuilin, and Chen Shiqu were joking in the yard, Liu Yimin was talking to a reporter from Dazhong Daily who was accompanying the army in the headquarters.
Out of the need to mobilize the Japanese army, Liu Yimin ordered to report victory to the central government and headquarters as soon as the battle was over. In this battle, our army destroyed the main force of the Japanese 38th Division, three infantry regiments, eight infantry brigades, and one field artillery brigade.
An engineer regiment, a search regiment, and a combat convoy killed 13,234 people of Major General Sakai Ban, commander of the 38th Division Infantry Regiment, destroyed 15 Japanese tanks, 12 armored vehicles, and 150 cars, and captured 75 field guns and 36
Gates, 12 75mm mountain guns, 24 infantry guns, 120 mule, horse and rubber carts, 2,236 pack horses, and more than 9,600 guns of various kinds.
After receiving the victory news, the Chairman asked Xinhua News Agency to announce the news of the victory in Southwest Shandong as soon as possible, and then sent a warm congratulatory message to Liu and Luo, praising that the battle in Southwest Shandong fully demonstrated the mobility and flexibility of our army's strategic tactics.
The power reflects the power of our army's unified command and coordination, the power of attacking the enemy deeply and looking for opportunities to annihilate it, and the power of our army's heroic spirit of not being afraid of powerful enemies, daring to win, moving forward indomitably, and overwhelming all enemies.
It reflects the power of the correct guiding ideology that our army is willing to smash the altars and pots, and focuses on annihilating the effective strength of the Japanese army.
The chairman warned Liu and Luo in the telegram that the oppression of the heavily armed Japanese army still exists, and the crisis facing our army in Shandong still exists. We must not be arrogant and careless, underestimate the enemy and be paralyzed, and must do everything possible to mobilize the Japanese and keep the Japanese on the road.
Running on the ground, the fat horses were dragged down and the elite soldiers were exhausted, forcing the Japanese army to hastily end the heavy mopping up under the constant attacks of our army.
The chairman reported three things. First, Chief Lin Nie of the 115th Division led the main force to the Jire and Liaoning areas to have a preview of western Liaoning and will effectively support our army in Shandong. Second, Chiang Kai-shek's embassy in the United States was ordered several times to urge Ni Hua to return home.
, Song Meiling also called many times to urge Ni Hua to return to China to wait for childbirth. Therefore, the central government has notified Ni Hua to return to China in the near future, and notified Ni Hua of Liu Yi's password, so that Ni Hua can contact Liu Yimin directly. The third is the fu led by Cai Chang
The United Nations delegation successfully completed its mission to visit the Soviet Union, has returned to Dihua, and will return to Xi'an soon. Tang Xingying, mother and son will return safely soon.
After receiving the good news, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng immediately called back, reporting the combat situation of our army in Shanxi, and ordered Liu Yimin to seize the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the 38th Division, continue fighting, expand the results, and ensure that the heavy Japanese army group was removed from Central and South Shandong
The mountainous and southern Shandong areas were transferred to southwestern Shandong to lay the foundation for achieving the next step of combat objectives.
After receiving the telegram from the chairman and the boss, Liu Yimin ordered the high-power radio station to be shut down. There was no way, there were swarms of Japanese planes in the sky, and if the radio station was turned on again, it would be equivalent to giving instructions for the Japanese army to bomb the target.
Liu Yimin didn't know that as soon as Xinhua News Agency released the news celebrating the victory in southwestern Shandong, not to mention the base areas of our party and our army, even the people in the rear area became excited.
Chongqing's "Xinhua Daily" urgently reprinted the issue, and Vice Chairman Zhou personally wrote "Comments on the Great Victory of the 18th Group Army Shandong Military Region in Southwest Shandong". Between the lines, there was enthusiasm: "The Japanese army rushed towards Shandong with a heavy group of troops, and there was a kind of dark cloud over the city.
The Japanese army's North China Front commander Tada Shun couldn't bear his temper and jumped out to speak publicly. He even whimsically criticized our invincible anti-Japanese general and legendary hero for persuading us to surrender. It's like a bird knows the ambition of a swan! Tada Shun
Knowing that this move was impossible to succeed, he offered a huge bounty of 2 million yuan for the head of General Liu Yimin. The Hanjiān radio station controlled by the Japanese army was even chattering like parrots, chattering incessantly, and yelling after their master. It seemed that the Japanese army had won the victory.
The victory on the battlefield in Shandong was the same. What was even more infuriating was that the Eighth Route Army was fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese army. Some officials with ulterior motives in the rear area who were hiding in air-raid shelters, drinking milk and eating bread, accused General Liu Yimin and even compared General Liu Yimin with him.
The escaped general Han Fuqu was compared. Now, a battle in southwest Shandong wiped out 13,234 of the main force of the elite 38th Division of the Japanese army. Not only was Tada Shun slapped hard on the face, but also told those who were trying to
Those who have abused General Liu Yimin are heroes. Even if he suffers the humiliation of being demoted from lieutenant division commander to second lieutenant trainee platoon leader, he cannot conceal his demeanor as a famous Chinese anti-Japanese general."
Vice Chairman Zhou's article is relatively long, coupled with Xinhua News Agency's victory report, and pictures introducing the Eighth Route Army's anti-war achievements behind enemy lines, making this issue rich with pictures and texts. The newsboys also shouted particularly hard: "Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, the Eighth Route Army in Southwest Shandong
Great victory, wipe out a Japanese division!" As a result, this issue of "Xinhua Daily" was sold out, and Vice Chairman Zhou had to ask the printing house to print more copies.
The radio stations in Chongqing also reacted and kept broadcasting news releases from Xinhua News Agency. It was so foggy that news of the Eighth Route Army's victory in Southwest Shandong came from the radio everywhere in Chongqing.
The Battle of Southwest Shandong was fought cleanly, and Ni Hua and Tang Xingying's mother and son were about to return. Liu Yimin's whole body was filled with joy, and the reporters who participated in the conversation were all infected.
It was now morning. Due to the swarm of Japanese military aircraft, our army could only rest and recuperate in hiding. Liu Yimin took this opportunity to speak to reporters, saying that he would launch a propaganda war against the Japanese army again and further mislead the enemy.
Liu Yimin started with the Battle of Southwest Shandong. He said that the annihilation of the main force of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army in the Battle of Southwest Shandong was just the prelude to our army's Battle of Southwest Shandong. Now that the curtain has begun, the good show will continue.
Staged on stage. Where will the main force of the Eighth Route Army be directed next? There are three options: first, seize Shangqiu, block Kaifeng, and the enemy's retreat route in Zhengzhou. With the cooperation of the troops in the first theater, completely eliminate the Japanese troops in the Henan area south of the Yellow River;
Recovering the lost land in Henan. Why do you think about it this way? Because west of Shangqiu, east of Zhengzhou, and south of the Yellow River, there are only a few independent garrison units commanded by the 39th Division of the Japanese Army. Such garbage troops are simply no match for the main force of the Eighth Route Army's Shandong Military Region.
The second is to cross the river and advance towards the reserve. The reason is equally simple. In such a large area of ​​northern Henan, the Japanese army only has one rebuilt 14th Division. How could the Eighth Route Army miss such an opportunity? The third is to quickly move out of the Dong'a area to encircle and annihilate Dong'a.
If the enemy along the Ahuang River crosses the river when the Japanese army is likely to reinforce the heavy army group in southwest Shandong, if they attack them halfway across the river, they will be able to severely damage the Japanese heavy army group. Where our army will attack depends on how the little devils act.
These reporters are also old Eighth Route Army soldiers. They know that the commander must be trying to deceive the little Japanese again by publicly stating the direction of our army's attack.
Liu Yimin said: "The Battle of Southwest Shandong shows that the Japanese are paper tigers, strong on the outside and hard on the inside. Why do you say this? This can be seen from the Japanese army's raids on heavy military groups in Shandong. At the beginning, the Japanese army secretly mobilized the main force of the Kwantung Army.
Railway and sea routes went south, one landed in Jiaodong, and moved all the way to southern Hebei along the Ping-Han Line. At the same time, the Japanese army transferred the 6th Division and the 15th Division from Central China, and independently mixed them into the 1st, 5th, 7th, and 10th Divisions.
1. The 12th Brigade, a Taiwanese mixed brigade was transferred from South China, and was pieced together into the 2nd Guards Division, the 28th Division, the 29th Division, plus the divisions directly under the North China Front and the 3rd Guards Division.
The Twelfth Army launched a sweeping campaign against the Eighth Route Army in a vast area stretching from Jiaodong in the north, to the Yangtze River in the south, to the Pinghan-Han Line in the west, and to the sea in the east. It was so aggressive! What was the result? The Japanese army was in southern Hebei and in Jiaoji.
Road, in the southeast of Shandong and north of Tai'an, has been hit repeatedly. In today's battle in southwest Shandong, the Japanese army even lost the main force of the 38th Division. Tada Shun never expected that under his heavy encirclement and suppression, the Eighth Route Army could
A desperate counterattack and a successful attack. This shows that the little devils are all paper tigers. They look scary, but in fact they can be broken with just one poke."
In response to the fact that Qin Yutang, the commander of the sixth guerrilla column in the Sulu theater, surrendered to the enemy, Liu Yimin commented: "Tada Jun said that Qin Yutang, the commander of the sixth guerrilla column in the Sulu theater of Jiaodong, surrendered to the enemy. This is nothing. Under the heavy pressure of the Japanese army,
There will always be some cartilage who can't bear the pressure and surrender to the enemy to become traitors. However, we are not afraid. Our army will never show mercy to traitors. In my opinion, Qin Yutang has to wash his neck quickly and wait to be stabbed. Not only
In Qin Yutang, all those who want to be Han soldiers must have the consciousness to accept trial. Ma Liang and others are the precedent. If you are not afraid of him becoming a Han prison, you are afraid that he will be left alone. Once they leave the protection of the heavy Japanese army, those Han soldiers will die soon.
arrive."
Next, Liu Yimin began to sow discord and killed people with borrowed knives: "We used various methods to deal with the Han jiān. For example, against the puppet Manchurian National Defense Forces in Xuzhou, we used money to buy the ammunition in their hands, and established a close relationship with them.
.The reason why our army has been able to successfully break through the Longhai Road several times is inseparable from the help of the officers and soldiers of the puppet Manchuria. For the officers and soldiers of the North China Security Army, we mark them with black and red dots. Every time they do a good deed, we mark them with a red dot.
; If you do a bad thing, you will get a black mark. As long as you accumulate 5 black marks, you will take measures to resolutely execute the people. Journalists, you may not believe it. After our enemy workers, puppet soldiers, and puppet officials,
Many people have the idea of ​​abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side. For example, Wang Kemin, the leader of the Han dynasty in North China, appeared to be loyal to the Japanese army, but in fact he was scared to death. Last time, Wang Kemin dared to organize a group of Han dynasty literati and compile a book to insult me. I still
I thought he was so powerful, but as a result, just before the Japanese army launched the cleanup, Wang Kemin sent a cousin of his concubine to come to Shandong to find me and sent me a letter written by Wang Kemin. Wang Kemin
In the letter, he groveled and apologized to me again and again, saying that the reason why he compiled the book to insult me ​​was because he was coerced by Juichi Terauchi, the former commander of the North China Front Army, and Seiichi Kita, the head of the secret service. If he had not organized people to compile the book, Seiichi Kita would have
I had to invite him to the secret service agency for tea. Wang Kemin kept saying that the reason why he became a traitor was to maintain public order in North China and reduce the Japanese army's persecution of North China. Wang Kemin also asked me to send him a secret liaison team in his heart.
Keep in touch, he must work hard to do something for the anti-Japanese war. This Wang Kemin can burn incense in the wrong place, but he came to me to beg for mercy. He is really cute!"
This was such a shocking secret that even Luo Ronghuan on the side thought Liu Yimin had a fever and was talking nonsense!
Liu Yimin was still making nonsense: "Wang Kemin wants no soldiers, is a heavy smoker, and suffers from Hualiu disease. I am not interested in him. But Qi Kuiyuan is different. He is the commander of the puppet North China Security Army. The last time our army captured Tianjin,
After I evacuated Tianjin, I went to Peiping for two days and stayed at Qi Kuiyuan's house. At first, Qi Kuiyuan, an old boy, wanted to capture me and send me to the Japanese army, but later I subdued him and served me tea obediently.
He poured water and served it properly, which was better than my wife served me. Later, Qi Kuiyuan performed well. The Japanese army raided the dang three times with heavy troops, and Qi Kuiyuan passed on the information at the most critical moment. Like this time the Japanese army attacked the enemy.
During the heavy encirclement and suppression campaign in Shandong, I got the intelligence from Qi Kuiyuan an hour before the Japanese army launched, took action in advance, quietly transferred troops to southwest Shandong, and waited for the 38th Division to be fooled. To be honest, if it weren't for Qi Kuiyuan's intelligence, this
At that time, I might still be busy organizing people to hold grassroots political elections in the southern Shandong area! I'm afraid Tada Jun never dreamed that our army knew the latest developments of the North China Front through Qi Kuiyuan."
Liu Yimin really made it up well. He told the situation of Qi Kuiyuan's family very accurately, including the layout of the yard, the deployment of security guards, and the decoration of the rooms. He even explained clearly the eating habits of Qi Kuiyuan's family.
Chu, including Qi Kuiyuan's wife, gave a rough description of what the children looked like.
After describing it, Liu Yimin added: "This information is top secret and must not be leaked. It can be published in newspapers and periodicals in the base area and cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders. Of course, this is also to encourage the determination of the army and the people to unite in the war of resistance and let everyone know about those Han
The jiān leaders and the puppet soldiers are also trembling with fear, vying to make meritorious service to the Eighth Route Army!"
After talking about the little devil, Liu Yimin expressed his views on the controversial incident at the official residence.
Liu Yimin believes that the reason why Deputy Commander Zhang shot and wounded Chairman Chiang in such a tragedy is rooted in Chiang Kai-shek's policy. This policy is to use the war of resistance to consume the miscellaneous army and local forces. Liu Yimin said that now is the period of the war of resistance, and the enemy is facing the enemy.
, no matter what kind of force, they should put aside their past grudges and unite to fight the war. The incident at the official residence was a tragedy, and political wisdom is needed to deal with the aftermath. In Liu Yimin's view, Chairman Chiang should have a higher profile, look for reasons from himself, and restore Zhang Xueliang's freedom as soon as possible
Zhang Xueliang himself should also make a deep self-examination and consciously safeguard the situation of unity in the war of resistance. When dealing with this matter, we should not be emotional and must consider the overall situation of unity in the war of resistance.
After the conversation, Liu Yimin told Wang Pengju that he asked reporters to compile and report today's conversation under the title "Japanese are Paper Tigers". The part involving Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan was not published in the newspaper, but was only published in newspapers in Shanxi and Shandong base areas.
The sooner the better, and the Japanese army must get the newspaper during the sweep.
Chapter completed!
