Liu Yimin may have been worried recently and is addicted to smoking. He involuntarily took out the cigarette, lit it, and signaled Zhou Yi to continue.
Seeing the encouragement of the division commander, Zhou Yi continued, "What I just said is just a prediction of the worst case. Of course, Brigade Commander Gao is right. We cannot fall into the surround of the Japanese, and the division commander has already defeated the Japanese.
The basic strategy is very clear. What I want to say is that the Japanese devils are indeed very powerful for the time being. They have a complete military service system. If we destroy one division, he will dare to form ten divisions and drive them to China at once.
As the Japanese continue, the more they fight, how can they do it? Just like this time we wiped out the 10th Division and defeated the 2nd Division and the 35th Division. According to the combat style of our army in the past, we will inevitably
Punched up and resolutely destroyed the Second Division, the 35th Division and the 41st Division. But the division commander did not do this, but ordered the troops to evacuate the battlefield in time. Why is this happening? I mainly consider it because I
After retreating, the Japanese encountered the support of the 41st Division. The troops were united and they immediately stabilized their positions. Once our army forced an attack, it was likely that the target of annihilation of the Japanese was not achieved in a short period of time, and even waited for the Second Division.
After waking up, relying on its powerful firepower and armor advantages will make our army unable to make great sacrifices. Once the battle enters a stalemate, the Japanese army will flock to it. By the day tomorrow, our main force will be exposed to enemy aircraft bombing.
Below, the Japanese fleet may block the Yellow River. If our army advances, it will not reach its target. If it retreats, it will have no way to retreat, and it will face great danger. Therefore, the division commander has to decisively order the pursuit to stop.
Withdraw from the battle. Division commander, don’t know if what I said is right?”
Liu Yimin nodded and asked Zhou Yi to continue talking.
This young man Zhou Yi is very handsome, he studies the major of staff, and has been a regiment commander. He has rich practical experience. Therefore, he is considerate with problems.
Zhou Yi said: "I remember the purpose of breaking the Japanese encirclement and suppression of heavy Japanese troops was to encourage the Japanese to divide their troops, divide their troops and then divide their troops, so that they can lengthen the front line and use their troops inadequately, and turn the field division into a garrison division.
I think the strategy of the division commander is extremely clever and must be implemented resolutely. But now we fight one after another, and it is impossible for the Japanese to lengthen the front line anymore, but they keep their eyes on them.
We will never give up until we eliminate it. Strategically, this is very unfavorable to the development of our Eighth Route Army and the construction of bases behind enemy lines."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yi didn't dare to say anything more. He looked at Liu Yimin, wanting to see what his attitude was.
Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Speak, I'm listening!"
Zhou Yi then said again: "The division commander also proposed to show the enemy that he was weak, so I thought about these four words. If we say that our army is strong and we have won consecutive battles, there is no reason to show that the enemy that he is weak. At worst, it will be in a certain battle.
During the implementation, we deliberately showed the enemy as weak and lured the enemy into a trap. But I thought about it repeatedly today. From a strategic perspective, our army may really show that the enemy as weak. At least for a long time, it will show that the enemy as weak.
Try not to fight against the Japanese and let the Japanese army's heavy army group leave our base as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will not be able to have a stable base, military production, recruit training, and logistics supply cannot be guaranteed, let alone develop the base economy.
Besides, if we fight the Japanese devils here, Chiang Kai-shek may not cooperate with us in the fight, and there may be side effects. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and what I said may not be correct."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, several people didn't say anything. After Liu Yimin finished smoking, he asked Cai Zhong what he thought. Cai Zhong replied that he could move the main force out of Shandong as soon as possible, lead the war to the enemy-occupied area, and then take the division commander in the Shandong base area.
The cold gun and cold cannon movement and small mountain guerrilla warfare advocated in the past no longer eliminates the main force of the Japanese institution in an organized manner, stew frogs in warm water, and bleed the Japanese in blood little by little. When the Japanese encounter setbacks in the full attack, they will enter a strategic stalemate stage.
Continue to compete with the Japanese.
Cheng Cuilin felt that Zhou Yi's suggestions were actually the strategic ideas that the division commanders often talked about in the past. We might as well jump to the outside line when the Japanese attacked Shandong in large numbers. After the Japanese lost their troops, the main force would return to Shandong and develop the base in a hidden way.
Gao Yuan believes that everyone is saying the truth, but now the Japanese have already set up a large encirclement. If the Japanese do not seriously damage them, they cannot tear them open. Besides, although the cold gun and cold cannon movement is feasible, it is suitable for local troops, militias and small troops.
The war. The instructor is now a powerful corps, and he is fully capable of finding opportunities to annihilate enemy divisions or above. Only by destroying the Japanese in the entire division and brigade can the Japanese in the maximum strength be weakened. Don’t look at the Japanese this time
Ten divisions were formed in one breath, but in fact, the combat effectiveness of these ten divisions is not as good as two permanent divisions. If you make small fuss and make trouble with the Japanese, the new division of the Japanese will be easily improved through actual combat and will make new ones.
The division team has become a teacher team. After all, the Japanese have high cultural quality, their training level improves quickly, and their combat effectiveness also improves quickly.
Luo Ronghuan said that it is absolutely impossible to fight head-on with the Japanese heavy army group. For the time being, he showed the enemy to be weak and avoided the idea of using the Eighth Route Army as the attack spearhead. This was what the division commander said when he went to war. Now the problem is that he must think of the Japanese heavy army group to divide the troops as soon as possible.
Withdrawal. He read the division commander's conversation with the president of Shandong Daily, and it is estimated that it will work. But in general, the Japanese army must completely eliminate the instructor or drive out of Shandong this time, otherwise the temple will not be able to sleep for a while
Therefore, the next step of combat should be to think about the goal of leading the Japanese heavy army group out of Shandong, so that the Japanese think that the main force of the instructor cannot stand firm in Shandong, and only then can we slowly clean up in Shandong after leaving Shandong.
Those Japanese who were on local security missions.
Liu Yimin felt like he was in a state of trouble. His comrades saw the crisis, and the chairman and the boss must have seen it long ago. The situation is very obvious now. Although the instructor won several battles, it also caused trouble and caused the Japanese to do so.
All the attention has been attracted. In Shandong, fighting hard with the Japanese is indeed the worst strategy. It is to fight two more battles and destroy one or two divisions of the Japanese? Once you are trapped in the siege of the Japanese, the Japanese will inevitably increase their troops regardless of everything.
, the number of troops increased, and the encirclement continued to shrink, and finally trapped the teacher to death. Anyway, the United States has not cut off trade with Japan, and the Japanese economy can still support it. There are more aircraft, tanks, cannons and ammunition, while our army
But it will become more and more difficult. The Japanese now regard the teachers as their number one mortal enemy, and even the plan to capture Wuhan has been temporarily put on hold, which shows how determined the Japanese are to destroy the teachers!
There is nothing to say, the main force must jump out!
But Liu Yimin was really unwilling to give up the base in this way. You should know that once the main force leaves Shandong, it will not be able to come back for ten days or half a month. For such a long time, the Japanese would inevitably kill people and set fire in the base, and toss the base into a purgatory on earth.
It seems that after the main force jumped out, it must also capture key targets such as Xuzhou and Lianyungang, and drag the Japanese heavy army group away as soon as possible.
However, it is not that simple for the main force to jump out. It must be a blow to the Japanese and drive the Japanese crazy, and let them drive the Japanese heavy army group to Shandong. It is best to chase them all the way to Qingdao and then stab them hard on the outside.
The Japanese killed them and then divided their troops to pursue them. Only then could the main force take the opportunity to return to Shandong and develop in seclusion in Shandong.
With a certain thought, Liu Yimin waved his hand: "Go, cross the river, go to the other side of the river to eat, drink and chat!"
By the time Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan crossed the river, the troops had already crossed. After several leaders crossed the river, the engineer regiment immediately dismantled the floating bridge and boat bridge and followed the large army.
When Liu Yimin arrived at Xiaoying Town, he was very happy. Xiaoying Town was even more lively late at night than usual. Except for the long stoves of the Engineer Corps, which kept serving mung bean soup and meals, one, two
Both sides of the Shilidao Road were filled with fellow villagers who came to visit the army after hearing the news. The villagers also carried wooden barrels full of food, lined up on both sides of the road, and some even set up tables for the soldiers to serve.
Soup and rice.
At this time, the wheat in this area had been basically harvested, and the fellow villagers on the threshing field were still riding on the moonlight. Xiaoying Town, more than ten miles away, were passing soldiers resting temporarily, and the food was fragrant.
The kind greetings of the villagers and the soldiers from all over the world seem very lifelike and friendly.
After crossing the river, Liu Yimin felt relieved and told Cai Zhong to order the troops to arrange warnings, so that the soldiers could rest, have a meal, and then continue to move forward and rest at the campsite.
In fact, after the victory, the troops were filled with a joyful atmosphere. At this time, the soldiers' nerves had relaxed. They drank herbal tea, ate hot rice, chatted with each other, and chatted with each other.
While busy, the Lu Opera team "Yihe Class" and "Qinghe Class" arrived and started the show in the open space outside the town. The actors actually put on neat makeup and pushed the troops in the open space.
Zhao Xiaoman couldn't sit still anymore, so he directed the art troupe to start a chorus. After singing, he encouraged the troops to sing, which instantly rendered the night in Xiaoying Town into a sea of joy.
Li Qing, Zhang Hongtao, Lei Ming, Li Chang, Hu Laohu, Han Qianjin and others crossed the river first. These old comrades gathered together and after another great victory, they naturally got together and blew away.
When Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong arrived, Li Qing and others actually sat in front of the pot made by a fellow villager, and also made a few bottles of white wine, drinking and blowing!
Liu Yimin was a little strange. This Chaotian pot is a specialty in Weixian, so why does Boxing have it? As soon as he asked, he found out that this fellow villager used to run a hotel in Weixian and sold Chaotian pot. After the Japanese came, they closed the door and returned to their hometown.
I heard in the evening that the Eighth Route Army had won a great victory and was about to pass by here, so I came here in advance to prepare and let the heroes who fought the Japanese try their skills.
When Liu Yimin saw Chaotian pot, he felt very excited. He couldn't help but think of the greedy look of his son when he was eating barbecue. When he saw that the fellow villager had prepared two or thirty pots, he occupied a large piece of open space, which clearly took the entire hotel's property.
The move came. Since several brigade commanders were here, the soldiers knew that the leaders were waiting for the final retreat, the political commissar and the leaders of the first brigade of the Education Brigade did not sit here, but instead seemed empty.
Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to send guards to inform all troops, saying that the division commander invited the minor wounded men from each brigade to eat Chaotian pot, each brigade had four pots, each unit directly under the division had one pot, and he could go there again after eating, and asked the brigade to take the
All the minor wounded were sent. Then Huang Wenhu was asked to bring Xiao Zhenghe and serve wine to his uncles and uncles.
After Liu Yimin came, several brigade commanders stood up, gave way, and saluted, until Liu Yimin said that he would bring Xiao Zhenghe to drink. The artillery brigade commander Li Chang burst into laughter and opened his mouth and said:
"No. 1, I'm completely convinced you. I just called my son to satisfy his cravings, and even said he was asking him to come and serve us wine. I really didn't expect that such a big hero would make his son eat.
I have to spend so much effort, but I am just afraid that we will say that you are pretending to be a public service? You are too worried. Xiao Zhenghe is the Xiao Eighth Route Army. It is not a violation of discipline to eat with us. Our old Li Xing is sitting right away.
If you don’t have so many concerns, just let Xiao Zhenghe be my son, so as not to be wronged with you.”
In fact, everyone present saw Liu Yimin's behavior, and everyone knew Liu Yimin's thoughts until he liked his son and did not want to violate the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, but no one said that. Only Li Chang, the artillery brigade commander, dared to do this.
explain.
Liu Yimin laughed and even said, "Please forgive me, comrades, you will have this idea when you have a son." But this idea is not good, so I won't take the example.
The atmosphere was lively now, all of them were old comrades-in-arms. They won a big victory again. Everyone was happy and naturally started drinking while moving their chopsticks. When the minor wounded arrived, Liu Yimin sent the brigade commanders from each brigade to give them a visit.
The wounded sat together for dinner, quickly filled their stomachs, and told Cai Zhong to notify the troops that the villagers would pay for their meals. They threw their son to Cai Zhong, and pulled Luo Ronghuan to look for Qian Zhuangfei to read the telegram.
After finding Qian Zhuangfei, he saw that the radio was on, and Qian Zhuangfei was holding a stack of telegrams and was about to find him?
As a result, when the telegram was found, the Chairman's telegram said three meanings, one was to congratulate the teacher on his victory in Binxian County. The other was to tell Liu Yimin that the main force in central Hebei and southern Hebei had been notified to take advantage of the heavy army group of the Japanese to flock to the border between Hebei and Shandong to find the instructor.
The main force has the opportunity to fight quickly, and leave some troops to turn into the tunnel to persist in the struggle behind enemy lines. The main force attacks Pinghan Road and returns to Taihang Mountain. Third, it is required that Liu Yimin pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese heavy army group and must not be surrounded by the Japanese heavy army group. If necessary
You can jump to the outside line to fight. After the Japanese heavy army group loses its air and withdraws its troops in Shandong, it will return to Shandong to develop.
The telegram from the headquarters informed the cooperation and combat situation of our army's troops. The 115th Division attacked the Pinghan Line and responded to the breakthrough of the Hebei Central Army. The 129th Division concentrated its main force to respond to the breakthrough of the Hebei Southern Army. The Independent Division had already concentrated on Shitai Road and was preparing to attack Shi.
Tailu, the 120th Division has attacked the northern section of Tongpulu to restrain the Japanese army.
Liu Jian reported that the Second Education Brigade and the Western Shandong Guard Brigade had crossed the Yellow River to reach southwest Shandong, and met with the Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade successfully. Tonight, they will break through Longhai Road at the junction of Henan and Anhui and enter northern Anhui.
Wang Bingsan, who stayed in western Shandong, reported that there is no enemy situation for the time being. He has recently inspected the tunnel facilities in various places, so he can completely hide troops and fight against the enemy for a long-term struggle.
Both Zeng Zhongsheng and Hong Chaoyuan reported that the enemy situation had not changed.
Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to congratulate the instructor on annihilated the 10th Division and defeated the 2nd and 35th Divisions. Soong Mei-ling also sent a telegram saying that Liu Yimin eliminated the 10th Division and avenged Chen Yaoguang, and was very pleased.
After seeing this, Liu Yimin was amused and laughed. He didn't know what Mrs. Jiang was thinking about. It was so outrageous that she said that avenged her wife in a great victory.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin felt that the situation was very strange. The Xuzhou front line clearly concentrated the huge forces of the seven Japanese divisions, but why did they not move? Did they really treat the instructor as a fool, insist on waiting for the rabbit and waiting.
Did the instructor take the initiative to get into their trap? What are the tricks of Hoshiyi in this temple?
If you can't figure it out for the time being, you won't think about it anymore. Liu Yimin immediately sent a report to the chairman and the boss, reporting that the main force had crossed the Yellow River and was now in a rest and recuperation.
As for Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, their telegrams were transferred from the headquarters and they did not give a penny, so Liu Yimin was too lazy to reply to them.
After Qian Zhuangfei was told to put away the antenna and prepare to set off, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan returned to the dining table. At this time, the troops had already started to set off, and the minor wounded were also taken away by the troops after dinner. The huge meal was
There were only a few brigade commanders left at the yard, waiting for the division commander and political commissar.
Seeing that his son was eating a greasy mouth, Liu Yimin asked the guards to send him back to Tang Xingying. He seized the time to eat a few more bites, picked up the wine glass and drank a few comrades for two. Then he said:
"At present, the situation of the Japanese army has not changed significantly. After our army withdraws, it will temporarily concentrate in central Shandong. The primary task of each unit is to pretend to hide and conceal. How to fight in the next step depends on the changes in the enemy situation. Since the Japanese army has made great determination this time, we must
Eliminate us, then we will accompany you to the end. The general principle remains unchanged. First, it is to hide movement, capture fighter jets, seize opportunities and eat it. Second, it is to attract the enemy's heavy army group to Shandong and attract the ghosts in Shandong with a force.
Relying on the base to fight against the enemy, the main force jumped out and let the Japanese lose their lives in Shandong. After the Japanese heavy army group left Shandong, we will come back. The third is to show that the enemy is weak. After achieving the goal, our army will develop in seclusion in Shandong and in the short term
The Japanese will not make big battle deployments, so that the Japanese will think that the situation in Shandong is stable and they will be confident and bold in achieving their established goals. After returning to Fangzi, they will inform the brigades after returning to the party. When the party is to quickly replenish shells after returning and quickly turn the shell shells
Send it to the arsenal and let them concentrate on reloading shells."
After saying that, Liu Yimin ordered to set off quickly and no longer march after dawn.
