Chapter 214 Eastward Overture

Chapter 214 Prelude to the Eastward March

The next morning, good news came from the field hospital. Luo Ronghuan's wife Lin Yueqin successfully gave birth to a baby boy in the hospital.

Liu Yimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked Tang Xingying to go to the hospital in person to take care of him. He also asked Wu Zheng to pick out some cans of milk powder, canned beef, and canned fish from the cans seized by the Japanese army.

Together with the soldiers, he was sent to the field hospital.

After thinking about it, I felt that those canned meat products might not be to the taste of the expectant mother, so I asked Li Xiaoshuai to get two chickens anyway, send them to the hospital and give them to Tang Xingying, so that she could stew them and replenish Lin Yueqin's body.

Seeing Liu Yimin's concern, Luo Ronghuan, who was already beaming with joy, was deeply moved. He thanked Liu Yimin repeatedly and asked Liu Yimin to name his son.

Liu Yimin smiled and said: "The political commissar has a son in middle age. This is a great joy in life. I can only share your happiness and cannot deprive you of the right to name your son as a father."

Luo Ronghuan thought for a moment and said: "Then let's call it Eastward Advance. We are about to march eastward to Shandong and kick off the anti-Japanese war in Shandong. We call it Eastward Advance, which has both commemorative significance and the meaning of spurring us to victory.

Master, what do you think?"

Liu Yimin was amused. Except for the slight difference in time and place, this was exactly the same as what happened in history. He nodded repeatedly.

Cai Zhong looked hot and said, "Why are you all becoming fathers? Isn't this too fast?"

Liu Yimin glanced at Cai Zhong: "Why, are you envious? It's better to retreat and build a net to envy the fish in Linyuan. Brother, you have to work hard!"

Cai Zhong blushed, then encouraged himself and said loudly: "As long as you can capture Tianjin, I will tell you good news. If you can capture Jinan and wipe out a Japanese division, I will give you a nephew."

, it’s a gift to you!”

Liu Yimin laughed loudly: "Okay, this gift is not only too expensive, but I also like it. I must completely wipe out a Japanese division to welcome the birth of my nephew!"

Luo Ronghuan immediately said: "The division commander cannot favor one over the other. Where is the chief of staff?"

Liu Yimin glanced at Zeng Zhongsheng: "I don't know which mother-in-law is still in the womb of the chief of staff's wife! However, as long as the chief of staff works hard, gets married as soon as possible, and gives me a nephew, my gift will also be a Japanese division. I will

Keep your word and never break your word."

Hearing this, Zeng Zhongsheng thought for a long time and then said in a low voice: "I will risk my life for the Japanese army of a division. I will go to Comrade Tang Xingying today and introduce me to a partner. I also want to have a son."

At this moment, everyone in the division burst into laughter.

If Emperor Hirohito knew that one by one of his elite divisions would be sent out by Liu Yimin as gifts to celebrate the birth of his nephew, his nose would probably be crooked with anger.

After everyone finished laughing, Luo Ronghuan took out Yan Xishan's gift and handed it to Liu Yimin.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Liu Yimin's face turned red and turned black and blue in the end. The veins on his forehead were popping and his teeth were clenching.

Cai Zhong was afraid of making Liu Yimin angry, so he hurriedly came over to help him sit down on a chair, and asked someone to bring a hot towel to wipe his face with his own hands.

Only then did Liu Yimin regain his composure, smiled miserably, and said, "Yan Laoxi is too stingy. He only gave 50,000 yuan for such a big happy event. It's not interesting enough. In this way, 50,000 yuan will be handed over to the logistics headquarters. This Fu Shan

His paintings are quite precious, so I accepted them. Please give them to political commissar Huang Wenhu to take back and give to Tang Xingying.

Take it. The chief of staff should hurry up and complete the battle plan. Director Cai is guarding the division headquarters and urging the troops to speed up their actions. The political commissar should go to the hospital to visit Sister Lin and her son. I want to think about the specific actions of the troops. Don't disturb me." After that, he sat down.

In front of the map, I took out a cigarette and started thinking about the problem while smoking.

Cai Zhong looked at Liu Yimin's distress. He made him a cup of strong tea. He took him in front of him and left with others.

Until Hu Tori reported that fortunately, the mission was not humiliated, and the trading of the Japanese army Shijiazhuang had completed the transaction.

The mood improved, and the shoulders of the bottom of Hu Dan said that this kind of business will be unified in the future.

To put it bluntly, he was so embarrassed, as if his profession was ignored by the division. He seemed to remember that he only remembered the body of the senior general of the Japanese army.

Liu Yimin was in a good mood, and the cadres of the teachers were naturally good. The cadres of various departments successively reported the progress of their respective work.

Wu Zheng reported that the train is ready and can transport the troops at any time. First of all, the troops in the direction of the lady are transferred, and then the army in the direction of Jinzhong is transferred. Finally, it is Taiyuan's direct troops.

Liu Yimin told him that he went to contact the chief of staff and began to transfer to the train tonight.

Cai Zhong reports that the troops have been prepared for starting, and all the things of the masses have been returned. The toilet is buried at any time. The water tank of the landlord is filled with water. The yard has been cleaned.

Order.

Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong to inform the political workers of all troops to conduct detailed inspections to satisfy the people. In addition, tell him that he can transfer the troops tonight.

It is necessary to keep confidential and let the people of Taiyuan feel the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the people.

After Cai Zhong left, Liu Yimin saw an old friend.

After seeing Liu Yimin in Xi'an, Chen Jingtang thought that he had encountered his confidant in his life and firmly remembered what Liu Yimin said. After returning to Shanxi, he reported to Yan Xishan many times. It is recommended to establish a trade relationship with Shaanxi.

Yan Xishan trusted Chen Jingtang very much. His report was very shocked to Yan Xishan, which directly promoted the support of Shanxi's economic construction in Shaanxi. At least, there was no difficulty for the equipment transported to Shaanxi.

When the Japanese captured Taiyuan, Chen Jitang remembered Liu Yimin's instructions. Not only did he take his family to retreat with Yan Xishan himself, but he also mobilized some big merchants in Xinxian, Yangqu, Qixian, Pingyao, and Taigu to retreat in advance, which reduced to a certain extent.

loss.

After learning that Liu Yimin led the army to cross the Yellow River, and destroyed the main force of the fifth division in Qixian, Chen Jingtang was anxious to see Liu Yimin. In the helpless war, it was inconvenient to move.

When he arrived at Taiyuan, Chen Jingtang was able to rush back to Taiyuan to see Liu Yimin.

When the old friend met each other, Liu Yimin was naturally happy. After talking about the situation, Liu Yimin's family of three accompanied Chen Jingtang for a meal.

During the meeting, Liu Yimin advised Chen Jingtang's family to move to Shaanxi to use his knowledge to contribute to the Anti -Japanese War in Shaanxi.

Chen Jingtang shook his head and said, "I'm old, it's already the years of the wind candle, and I don't want to leave Shanxi. The Japanese invaders come again, and I will follow the officials of the army and the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army is brutal, I am not afraid of death. I can't carry a gun.

Fighting, but I can use my thin name to mobilize the folks to fight with the Japanese invaders. I come this time, I ask for one thing, please promise the military affairs. "

Liu Yimin was busy asking what was going on, just say it.

Chen Jingtang took out the "Process and Period Summary of Six Political Matters and Village Government in Shanxi Province in the Past Thirty Years" and "Records of Poems and Essays on Historic Sites and Scenic Spots in Xin County" compiled by himself, and gave them to Liu Yimin, saying that he was asking General Liu to be honest. Then, he took him over

His grandson Chen Fuming and granddaughter Chen Meisheng introduced Liu Yimin, hoping that Liu Yimin would approve them to join the Eighth Route Army and go to the front line to fight against Japan.

When Liu Yimin saw that Chen Fuming and Chen Meisheng were both handsome and handsome, they looked like the children of a common family. Thinking about the fact that they had accompanied Chen Jingtang to death in disasters in history, he was very moved and agreed. He told Li Xiaoshuai to take Chen Fuming to report to Li Chengyi.

Conduct recruit training. Chen Meisheng will stay with Tang Xingying, who will be responsible for teaching, and then he can go to Deputy Chief of Staff Qian to engage in information analysis.

Seeing Liu Yimin's arrangement, Chen Jingtang was also very happy. He opened the Laofen wine he brought and drank a few glasses with Liu Yimin. Then he hugged Xiao Zhenghe and kissed him a few times, and took out a jade pendant for the child to wear.

Liu Yimin knew that Chen Jingtang's gifts were extremely valuable, so why would he want them? He took off the jade pendant from the child's neck and stuffed it into Chen Jingtang's hand, asking him to take it back.

Chen Jingtang sighed and said: "I'm dissatisfied, brother. This jade pendant is indeed very precious. It is also carved from mutton-fat jade. My father spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to get it. But now is the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and my old man may die in the war at any time."

中. Rather than fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders in the future,

How about you save it for me. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, if I am still alive, I will say nothing. If I die, you can ask Fuming and Meisheng to take your son and take this jade pendant to my grave.

Burn a piece of paper and tell me, and my old man will be satisfied."

Liu Yimin was filled with sadness as he said this. Knowing that Chen Jingtang was here to ask for help, he stopped refusing. The two of them poured wine and slowly drank a few more glasses before saying goodbye.

In the evening, while the instructors were busy secretly gathering troops and preparing to march eastward, Deng Yingchao, Cai Chang, and He Zizhen rushed to Taiyuan on orders from the central government to express their condolences to the instructors who had achieved the great victory in Taiyuan.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the comrades were extremely happy. Liu Yimin's family of three were even more excited. Tang Xingying held the hands of the elder sisters and did not let go. It was like a married daughter meeting her mother. She couldn't stop talking. Xiao Zhenghe

He was also well-behaved, rolling around in the arms of the elder sisters, shouting "auntie, hug" in a sweet voice, making the elder sisters unable to close their mouths.

The meal in the evening was very simple, each person had a bowl of pork, radish, cabbage, vermicelli, tofu stew, two steamed buns, and a bowl of millet porridge.

Sister Cai has a good personality. During the meal, she talked about the past when Liu Yimin treated them to Sichuan food in Chengdu. She also said that Liu Yimin was dishonest and brought Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman to treat them to dinner. He clearly paid for it out of his own pocket and said that he was a girl from the Seventh Army Corps.

The soldiers treated her to a treat. This made her feel bad for a long time after she went back. It wasn't until Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying got married that she thought that they might have intended to treat her.

When he said this, Liu Yimin screamed that he was wronged, saying that he was honest at that time and had no idea of ​​marrying a girl as beautiful as Tang Xingying. He just wanted to treat the elders and sisters to a meal and express their condolences for all the hardships he had experienced during the Long March.

Sisters who have worked so hard.

Sister Cai immediately asked, I didn't dare to think about it at that time. Now is it very good and high, and the girls who meet are more girls, so I dare to do it?

Words, which Chinese people do not stretch their thumbs? But they ca n’t be fascinated by flowers, watching the bowls in the bowl. Then, comrades will be disappointed.

Without waiting for Liu Yimin's opening, Tang Xingying said: "Please rest assured, Comrade Liu Yimin has been tested for a long time, and is an extremely loyal revolutionary. Those messy things are just imposed by others.

There may be an unhealthy idea. Besides, there are me and my son, lending him a hundred courage, he dare not. "

Sister Cai has a smile on her face, and even the beautiful and intelligent wife like Xiao Tang, such as Xiao Tang, is a blessing that Master Liu has cultivated for a few lives. I believe that our great hero can win in front of the devils, and naturally, they can naturally be in

The enemy's provocative is out of battle. The great heroes are rolling out of the blood of the blood. Where would they be afraid of those carved insect skills.

After eating, because the instructor was about to leave Shanxi soon, the time was urgent. Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong to accompany several elders to the field hospital to visit the wounded, so that Luo Rongzhang accepted the cadre group brought by Comrade Lin Feng, and let Wu Zheng's point test the elders from

The medicines, ammunition, renminbi brought by Xi'an are ready to be transported to Shandong. I write a letter by myself, take the troops to attack Tianjin, and then go south by Tianjin to establish a combat plan for base areas in Shandong to report to the central and headquarters in detail.

When Sister Deng returned from the Field Hospital, Liu Yimin gave her the letter and gave her the plan to attack Tianjin. Tell her to prevent the Japanese troops from intercepting the telegram, and took strict confidentiality measures.

The letter was transferred to the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and Zhu Peng, the two boss. At the same time, Sister Deng also told Sister Deng that the instructor was collecting troops secretly. They could not stay in Taiyuan for a long time to prevent the Japanese army from returning from air strikes on Taiyuan. They took a break tonight.

You can visit the Jin Temple tomorrow. You must leave Taiyuan tomorrow night, go to Jinzhong to the south, and meet with the old man Zhu.

The three elders are all born in the old Red Army. Naturally, they know what military plane is, and what is the enemy of the enemy. Therefore, they do not blame Liu Yimin. Instead, they took Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Chen Yun and others.

Look.

He Zizhen handed Yue Fei "Man Jianghong" of Mao Zedong's handbook to Liu Yimin.

At first glance, Liu Yimin saw that the chairman's cursive dragon Feifeng danced, showing the back of the paper, poetic character spit out, and he liked it in his heart.

Deng Yingchao also brought Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's Table" written by Vice Chairman Zhou with a small case.

The bright and bright, high wind and bright festival, this "Teacher's Watch" can be said to be his rare Mo Bao. It must be considered to be written to himself.

Liu Yimin moved in his heart, thanks to the word, please take a rest early. Tomorrow he will spend time spend time with the elders to visit the Jin Temple.

Seeing that Liu Yimin had to leave, Deng Yingchao stopped him and told him that he brought Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing back this time, mainly considering that the two of them were familiar with the teachers, and they were both well -known female cadres.

In Shandong, Shandong will be able to play a role. As for the emotional entanglement between them and Liu Yimin, the central government believes that Liu Yimin can deal with it. He did not intend to send them back. Considering the lack of cadres in the party

Lack, in order to operate Shandong, considering the development of our army and the overall situation of fighting against the enemy, they sent them back. I hope that Liu Yimin will grasp it by himself. As a senior cadre of the party, he must have the cultivation of senior cadres.

The central government is not worried that if our Liu Yimin can't withstand this test, will it be a joke?

Liu Yimin smiled bitterly and said, this is completely unnecessary. He has a wife and a son, and his mind is on the war. How could there be so many affairs between children? Please rest assured, the central government, after arriving in Shandong, Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing will both

If you are on your own, you can't keep them by your side. Even Tang Xingying must fulfill her responsibilities and work for the party.

Deng Yingchao nodded and asked Liu Yimin to go back and rest.

The next day, Liu Yimin saw that the transfer of troops was going smoothly and that Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, and Wu Zheng were all in good order. He felt relieved and took Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, and Jingjing to accompany the three eldest sisters around Jinci Temple.

I spent an afternoon explaining the scenery of Jinci Temple in detail.

In the evening, Liu Yimin sent the three eldest sisters south to Jinzhong. When saying goodbye, He Zizhen said to Liu Yimin: "The chairman asked me to tell you, seize the opportunity, let go of development in Shandong, and strive to control the whole of Shandong. If possible, we must also take into account the surrounding areas.

.

There is no need to pay attention to Chiang Kai-shek's possible restrictions and accusations, and develop yourself independently." Then he quietly said to Liu Yimin with a half-smile but not a smile: "I don't believe that our three young and beautiful female Red Army soldiers cannot defeat one Song Meiling's adopted daughter."

Liu Yimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He repeatedly urged the elder sisters to hurry up and hurry up. Then several elder sisters reluctantly said goodbye.

After sending Deng Yingchao and others away, Liu Yimin met with the cadre group led by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng is a native of Wangkui, Heilongjiang. His original name is Zheng Yongxiao. He once served as Secretary of the Party Branch of Peking University College of Engineering, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, and Secretary of Comrade Liu Shaoqi. He is 31 years old, has a stocky appearance, and is an intellectual.

Proven cadres.

After meeting Liu Yimin, Lin Feng reported on his work experience and explained that the task assigned to him by the central government was to go to Shandong to help instructors complete the construction of the base area and obey the command of Chiefs Liu and Luo.

Liu Yimin thought about the fact that these old revolutionaries had narrowly escaped death and achieved great achievements in history. Now they had become his comrades-in-arms and followed him to Shandong to open up base areas. He felt heroic in his heart. He waved to the cadres and said loudly: "There is no time for comrades."

They rested

, we want to go to Shandong and establish a strong base in Shandong to lay the foundation for us to defeat Japanese imperialism and establish a new China. This strategic action is of great significance. I am willing to work with my comrades to achieve the glorious mission entrusted to us.

Work hard.”

After saying this, Liu Yimin ordered all the cadre regiments to be armed, follow the political commissar's actions, and march towards Fanzhi.

That night, Liu Yimin led his division to quietly leave Taiyuan and take a train north to Fanzhi.

Lin Yueqin, who had just given birth, was carried onto the train on a stretcher by the soldiers and marched with Luo Ronghuan.

Luo Ronghuan was afraid that marching with Lin Yueqin would drag down the army. He originally wanted to leave Lin Yueqin behind and reunite with his children in Shandong when the children were older. But Liu Yimin refused, saying that his sister-in-law was traveling with the large army. Although she was a little tired, she was still

There was no problem with safety. When we arrived in Shandong, there was a shortage of cadres everywhere, and they could still help with work. Luo Ronghuan thought about what Liu Yimin said was reasonable, and how he was unwilling to be separated from his wife and children, so he agreed to take him with him.

Lin Yueqin was born in the old Red Army. What kind of suffering has she never suffered? Not afraid, not afraid at all. What she fears most is that the army will leave her behind and let her fall behind. When she heard that she was going to be taken away, she immediately got off the stretcher and

Walking to the station, Chen Tong panicked and Ren Ying hurriedly persuaded her to ride on horseback and march in a few days. Then she lay down on a stretcher and let the soldiers carry her onto the train.

Different from Lin Yueqin's mood, Tang Xingying was not happy at all at this time. Because she found that Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing had been protecting Liu Yimin since they met Liu Yimin.

, as if there would be danger around Liu Yimin at any time! Especially Zhao Xiaoman, who always held Liu Yimin's coat tightly and never let go, as if Liu Yimin would run away if he let go.

Tang Xingying wanted to get angry several times, but she thought about how pitiful these two girls were. She was the leader and could not make her comrades laugh, so she kept holding on. Until Chen Yaoguang, who followed her, saw Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing acting like this.

As someone who also wanted to learn to lean closer to Liu Yimin, Tang Xingying couldn't bear it anymore. She took out a small pistol and pointed it at Chen Yaoguang, saying coldly: "Don't mess with me, my patience has limits!"

Jingjing's mind was smart, and when she saw Tang Xingying was angry with Chen Yaoguang, she felt like she was in a clear mind, so she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Tang Xingying. When Tang Xingying looked at it, there were only two lines of blood words on the letter: "I think about it day and night."

, the tears have dried up." After looking at the handwriting, I knew

It was written by Zhao Xiaoman. As for when Zhao Xiaoman wrote it and how Jingjing got it, Tang Xingying was too lazy to ask. She sighed, put away her pistol, and glanced at the distant place with complicated emotions.

Liu Yimin took his son on the train.

That night, the northern section of the Tongpu Railway was extremely busy, with trains carrying armies heading north one after another.

The road from Xinkou to Fanzhi was also busy with cars, carriages, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, all marching through the night.

Yan Xishan had already learned that the instructors were going to evacuate Shanxi to Jinan, but he received a report from his subordinates that all the trains had been commandeered by the instructors in the past two days. From Yangquan to Taiyuan, and from Taiyuan to the north, there were trains running overnight. It was judged that they were transporting troops.

, but since the railway line is under the control of the instructor and cannot be approached, it is impossible to determine how many troops were transported and where they were transported.

Yan Xishan originally wanted to call Liu Yimin, contact him, and ask him where he was going. Then he thought about it and found out that this instructor was the Seventh Red Army Corps that originally occupied Shaanxi. It was so powerful that his tens of thousands of remaining soldiers were defeated.

Can't afford to offend that one

Why did Liu Yimin take himself, the commander of the Second War Zone, seriously? Asking him would only make him angry. It didn't matter where he went, as long as he was fighting the Japanese. It would be better if he lured the Japanese far away and let his

Shanxi can get a breather.

Although he thought so, Yan Xishan was still worried. He was afraid that Liu Yimin would change his mind and refuse to leave, so he told his men to closely monitor Liu Yimin's movements and report quickly if Liu Yimin left Taiyuan.

It was not until the next morning that the citizens of Taiyuan discovered that, in addition to the anti-Japanese slogans all over the streets, the Eighth Route Army had left without even a single wounded person, and they learned that the instructors had departed.

After receiving the report, Yan Xishan clapped his forehead and congratulated that the tyrannical Liu Yimin had finally left, avoiding the tragedy of chasing tigers out the front door and wolves entering the back door. At the same time, he ordered a joint meeting of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and Shanxi administrative cadres to discuss the defense issue of Taiyuan.

.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the newly arrived aviation force of the Japanese North China Front dispatched 150 aircraft and carried out multiple batches of retaliatory bombings on Taiyuan.

Since the Japanese army once occupied Taiyuan, the former Provisional Aviation Corps Headquarters of the North China Front retained information about Taiyuan City, so the Japanese bombing targets were accurate, not to mention the Tongpu Railway, the section from Niangziguan to Taiyuan on Zhengtai Road, the airport, arsenal, machine factory and other military units.

Even the compound of the former Pacification Office where Yan Xishan was stationed was bombed. Yan Xishan was so angry that he yelled that the little Japanese had gone too far to bully others. If Liu Yimin didn't come to bomb when he was here, he would come to bully me as soon as Liu Yimin left.

, Liu Yimin deserves to be beaten to death.

Scolding and scolding, Yan Xishan knew that he could not take the Japanese aircraft with the Japanese army. He strictly ordered the Jinsui Army who was stationed in Taiyuan to dispatch all, quickly extinguishing the fire to save people, and minimized the loss to the minimum.

At this time, Taiyuan City was already full of thick smoke, crying constantly, and countless houses were blown up. Fortunately, there were not many citizens in Taiyuan City at this time.

Coupled with the recovery of Taiyuan, in order to prevent the Japanese air strikes from retaliation, the instructor has always emphasized the evacuation of the people. Therefore, the Japanese air strikes did not cause too many casualties. Unfortunately, the famous city of Taiyuan was almost ruined in this air strike.

Many ancient buildings have been blown up.

According to statistics after the bombing, a total of 624 people were killed in this air strike.

Seeing the statistical results, Yan Xishan was afraid of it. If Liu Yimin did not take measures to evacuate the masses, how many people would you die with the prosperity and population density of Taiyuan?

The pain and pain, Yan Xishan Yan ordered the towns in all towns in Shanxi to evacuate the people immediately, so as not to cause greater losses. Then, Yan Xishan issued a report to the commander of the Eighth Route Army Zhu De and the commander of the 14th Army Wei Lihuang.

Joint anti -Japanese war.

After sending the telegram, Yan Xishan remembered that Liu Yimin did not move away those factory equipment. Under the violent bombing of the Japanese army, those equipment could not be preserved.

The check of 500,000 yuan, the secretary sent someone to send it to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, explaining that it was a reward for the teacher led by General Liu Yimin.

After dealing with these things, Yan Xishan murmured on the chair and murmured again and again: "Liu Yimin, 憨 娃, old man is good for you, you can do n’t give birth to the old man, hurry up and explode the small Japanese plane.

! Calculate the old man, please! "

The guards around him were unable to hold back, and wanted to laugh.
