On the morning of November 29, the 18th Army held an operational meeting in Jin Temple. Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the 18th Army, Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief of the General Staff Zuo Quan, commander-in-chief of the 115th Division, Lin Biao, political commissar Nie Rongzhen, commander-in-chief of the 120th Division, and political commissar Guan
Xiang Ying, Liu Bocheng, commander of the 129th Division, Zhang Hao, political commissar of the Independent Division, Xu Xiangqian, political commissar of the Independent Division, Yang Shangkun, instructor Liu Yimin, political commissar Luo Ronghuan and other leaders attended the meeting.
The meeting summarized the combat situation of each division in Japan since the dispatch of troops, and analyzed the tactical characteristics of the Japanese army, firepower equipment, ground-to-air coordination, etc. At the meeting, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De made a "Using guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, using ambush warfare, and annihilation warfare
The report on "Eliminating the Japanese Army" analyzed and commented on several classic battle examples since the Eighth Route Army sent troops. Liu Yimin, president of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, and instructor, made the "Take Mobility and Flexibility" at the meeting based on the example of the battle to recover Taiyuan.
"Tactics, concentrating superior forces, combining firepower, and using each other to defeat the enemy" "Exclusively, the artillery fire cover used by the Japanese mechanized troops such as the 21st Brigade, densely covered with anti-tank mines, and rocket launcher attack style.
The detailed introduction attracted the attention of several division commanders attending the meeting.
In the afternoon, the first brigade, one regiment and one battalion of the 1st brigade, which was carrying out a security mission in Taiyuan, performed a tactical performance.
After watching the tactical performance of the first battalion, Lin Biao, the commander of the 115th Division, pondered for a long time, and told the political commissar Nie Rongzhen that if the tactical level of the Eighth Route Army could reach the level of the first battalion, the Japanese North China Front Army could at most support for another year.
Nie Rongzhen was very surprised because he was too clear about Lin Biao's tactical qualities, so he asked Lin Biao if he had exaggerated it.
Lin Biao shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "Of course, our army cannot all reach this level. Even the troops of the instructors cannot reach this level. Therefore, the North China Front Army can exist for a few more years, or even
We can still maintain an offensive situation within a few years. I think this battle in Taiyuan is not so much a strategic and tactical success as a success in the army training. This kind of army is an encounter with the Japanese army.
One is naturally victorious, and one is not defeated by two. Liu Yimin is focusing on production and land reform in Shaanxi. I didn’t expect that the troops would not stop training for a minute. Our 115th Division is behind!"
Seeing that Lin Biao was a little depressed, Nie Rongzhen smiled and said, "Are we just catching up? Besides, the backbone of this instructor also has the blood of our Lao Hongyi Legion. If you want, you can tell Liu Yimin about it and follow him.
Here we draw two regiments to join our 115th Division and accept your command.”
Lin Biao shook his head again, squinted his eyes, and looked into the distance. Nie Rongzhen knew that his old friend had already become determined to win, so he stopped talking and stood quietly with Lin Biao.
In the evening, the instructor held a banquet at Jin Temple to entertain the head of the headquarters and the leaders of several divisions.
When the wine was over, He Long, the commander of the 120th Division, held Liu Yimin's hand and said that he was not good enough. When he toasted in person, he kept calling his brother, but he didn't know how to joke with the old brother behind his back. The instructor had an artillery brigade, and the 120th Division had an artillery soldier.
I can't even get it all together, and most of the soldiers' rifles have no rifles. Those who know it say that the instructor used to have a good foundation, fought many big battles, and seized many. Those who don't know it will say that the head of the headquarters is partial, and they are also
The Eighth Route Army, why are the wealthy and the poor too poor? Now, the 120th Division is said to be the main division, but in fact, its strength cannot even reach one-third or even one-quarter of the teachers. This will encounter a big battle in the future.
Not to mention being the main force, even if you beat the edge drum and hit the teacher, the teacher may not look down on him. Therefore, this time he came to cheat Liu Yimin, and he needed heavy artillery and small-caliber artillery. Give him a cannon from the artillery battalion
There are too few things, and you have to give it to an artillery regiment. If you don’t give it to an artillery regiment, you have to at least equip it with a brigade of Japanese weapons, rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and whatever you want.
When Mr. He said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became active immediately. Even the loyal and honest commander Liu Bocheng said that the 129th Division would have to get more guns and cannons back this time. It would not be possible for the old Red Army soldiers to take Sichuan-made rifles.
Are you going to deal with the Japanese airplanes and tanks?
Commander Lin Biao said that the Type 81 automatic rifle produced in the arsenal has high accuracy and strong firepower, which is really a powerful tool to kill the Japanese. I don’t know why Comrade Liu Yimin ordered production restrictions. If more production is produced and the entire army is standardized, then more should be
OK. Is the tutor's equipment almost done, so I won't let it be produced? If that happens, the 115th Division will be incorporated into the tutor, and the two divisions will join forces to command together. He is willing to be Commander Liu's deputy.
Look at everyone drinking and talking, laughing and arguing. Liu Yimin had to stand up and explain that one was the problem of the August 1st automatic rifle. At that time, the expedition was about to go to the forefront and there was no time to produce so much. He could only concentrate his efforts to produce ammunition to ensure the supply of ammunition from each division.
, you can't let the soldiers go to the front line if they only have 5 bullets in their guns? In the future, the arsenal will definitely think of increasing production and try to meet the combat needs of the troops. However, this kind of gun has high technical content and must not fall into the hands of the Japanese army.
The industrial level is much stronger than that of China. If they get guns, they will imitate them soon, which will be troublesome. This is also a major reason for restricting production. The second is the artillery problem. In principle, each division should have at least
A field cannon and a mountain cannon assembly regiment can have an artillery brigade! Although there are fewer artillery battalions this time, there are only so many artillery groups. However, soon there will be artillery regiments in each division, because the arsenal is
Work overtime to produce, and the new artillery we produce will be transported over soon and equipped with the troops. In the future, the instructor will go to Shandong and it will be difficult to get supplements from the arsenal, but it is very convenient to supplement other divisions. As for light weapons, everyone can choose whatever they want.
If you like something, you will take whatever you like. From now on, the Japanese army, the transportation captain, isn’t it a good person to drink and drink, what do you want? You are all Sun Wu’s rebirth and Wu Hou is reborn. What is it to deal with a little Japanese?
That's not just hitting him in the head today, kicking him in the ass tomorrow, and stabbing him in the waist the day after tomorrow. Not to mention guns and cannons, it's not impossible to even use the Japanese Emperor's wife to play with!
After saying this, the famous generals of the Eighth Route Army all laughed and leaned back and forth. President He picked up a glass of wine and forced Liu Yimin to drink a glass of wine. After the drink, he said that he couldn't tell that the little brother was really learning bad things.
, it is so beautiful, and while trying to drive away the beauty sent by Chiang Kai-shek, he also thought about the Japanese Emperor's wife. It's so awesome. However, my brother reminds you to be careful when you go back, Xiao Tang makes you kneel down on the ground.
Since it was the first time I had a meal with Commander Xu Xiangqian, Liu Yimin specially toasted him with a drink and asked him to go to the various troops to teach him the tactics if he had time.
Teacher Xu said modestly: "I dare not take guidance, but learning is a must." The two of them smiled knowingly and drank a full glass of wine.
The next day, the troops brought by the leaders of each division were arranged by the Deputy Chief of General Staff of Zuo Quan to collect weapons and ammunition from the instructor's logistics headquarters, and took all the extra weapons of the instructor. Liu Yimin specifically told Wu Zheng to let
Give each division some of the seized gas masks so that each division has some understanding of the Japanese gas war and prevent it in advance.
After the leaders of each division left, Liu Yimin ordered Feng Dafei to lead some students to fly the plane back to Xi'an. Later, he would be directly under the leadership of the Military Commission, allowing David to lead three US military instructors and the remaining students to continue to act with the instructor, preparing to have the opportunity to do it again.
The plane of the Japanese invaders.
Feng Dafei was unwilling to leave the instructor's combat sequence and proposed that the air team could be organized into the instructor and went to Shandong with the instructor.
Liu Yimin said: "The reinforcements sent by the Japanese army will soon arrive in North China, and the new Japanese aviation regiment can be deployed at any time. Our first sneak attack was to attack the enemy in a cold manner. It will be more difficult to attack again in the future. At least it is necessary.
The air force is very weak now, so we can only avoid the enemy's attack and go to the rear to train. When you train 500 pilots, we can fight the enemy in air combat. From now on, you will be the air force
The head of the family must remember not to act recklessly. This is the seed of our Air Force. I hope it can take root and sprout, grow small and grow vigorously. I will make the plane for you. Your mission is to take our aviation.
The team trained to become an air force that dominates the world."
Feng Dafei saluted solemnly and shouted loudly: "Please ensure that the tasks assigned by the division commander are completed. Please rest assured that you are the founder of our Air Force. Your orders are always the combat order of the air force, and we will firmly implement them!"
Liu Yimin nodded with satisfaction and asked Feng Dafei to transport all the equipment at the airport and not let go of a screw.
Two days later, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second War Zone, led the commander-in-chief back to Taiyuan.
Liu Yimin originally wanted to refuse Yan Xishan's return to Taiyuan, but Commander-in-Chief Zhu told him that it is not the time to refuse Yan Xishan's return to Taiyuan. He just wants Taiyuan and give it to him. We only need to establish grassroots regimes in the vast rural areas and consolidate the base area.
Basics. Liu Yimin had no choice but to order the troops to open the city gate and welcome Commander Yan back to Taiyuan.
Yan Xishan originally returned to Taiyuan happily. But this joy disappeared quickly because Taiyuan became an empty city. Not only did the equipment of the military factory and the machine factory disappear, but even the equipment of the civilian factory was emptied.
Even the workers and technicians from these factories have disappeared. This is all my hard work!
Yan Xishan knew in his heart that this must be the masterpiece of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese would not move so quickly. Besides, with Japan's industrialization level, they might not necessarily like these belongings.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xishan made an appointment with Mr. Zhu the day after arriving in Taiyuan.
"Brother Yujie, it seems like you're doing this too much, right? It's okay to move the equipment of military factories away, but why did you even move the equipment of civilian factories away? Isn't this turning Taiyuan into an empty city?"
Listening to Yan Xishan's angry and inexplicable words, President Zhu was amused, but he still said seriously: "Sir Yan, please don't get me wrong. We moved a little power plant equipment, but only a small part of it, and the others were transported to Pingjin by the Japanese army.
I went there. On the train that the instructor blew up, there was a car that was pulled by the factory equipment, but unfortunately it was damaged. The instructor Liu Yimin reported that he originally wanted to use the military factory to produce some ammunition and replenish the troops. Unfortunately, he occupied it.
Later in Taiyuan, I discovered that the machines were transported away by the Japanese army. According to an interpreter, the Japanese army transported these equipment to Pingjin and then to Shenyang, and merged with Zhang Xueliang's original arsenal to expand the scale of the Shenyang arsenal. The Japanese army planned to go to the future
60% of the weapons and ammunition in China's combat operations were produced in the Shenyang Arsenal. Civil equipment was transported to Pingjin to set up a factory, and the Japanese army believed that it was the rear and was relatively safe."
Yan Xishan's eyes rolled and thought to himself, it would be strange if I, an old man, believed your lies. The Japanese army had only occupied Taiyuan for a few days, and even the ammunition and supplies could not be transported. How could I have time and energy to transport equipment? Then he said: "Yu"
Brother Jie, the Eighth Route Army’s regaining Taiyuan was a great achievement, but it was wrong to empty Taiyuan, I’m sorry to the Shanxi people. Your commander named Liu Yimin is very good at doing this, and he has blackmailed me an old man. I think,
I'm afraid it's his masterpiece this time. I really can't understand. You Communists always say that they are good at serving the country and the people, and they are honest and honest. How could there be such a cadre who is dedicated to making money? My old man is so heartbroken!"
Mr. Zhu thought to himself, if we hadn't regained Taiyuan, wouldn't these things be produced by the Japanese army invading China? What have you done long ago? I feel distressed when I think about it now? It's too late!
After thinking about it, President Zhu still said with a smile: "Captain Yan misunderstood Commander Liu. By the way, he is in Jin Temple. Why don't he come to see Chief Yan and report to you in person?"
Yan Xishan hated Liu Yimin to death and didn't want to see him, but then he thought that Liu Yimin is not a simple person, and it's okay to meet him, it depends on what he can say.
So, Liu Yimin was ordered to come to Chief Yan's Second War Zone Command.
When Yan Xishan saw Liu Yimin, he was shocked. He was just a young man in his twenties, with starry eyebrows and eyes as bright as jade, especially his eyes like black gems, deep as a pool of water, and he could not see the bottom at all.
.
Yan Xishan sighed in his heart, this is obviously a handsome and elegant young master of Zhuoshishi. How could he be a famous general who kills enemies thousands of times!
After a closer look, Liu Yimin stood there, neither humble nor arrogant, and his whole body naturally exuded a kind of a state of abrupt and staggering demeanor, wandering and indifferent, making people feel a sense of being more and more high-minded, and there was also a
A feeling of being willing to get close to you. Yan Xishan thought to himself that how could such a person become a Communist? If he was in Shanxi, it would be great if he was under his own hands. One of the two people was responsible for the development of the economy and the other was in command of the army.
How good should we protect the country and the people?
