Before Liu Yimin could wake up from the joy of Feng Dafei's triumphant return and the arrival of Li Qiang and others, He Xinghua came happily and shouted "Good news, good news, great victory at Wanjialing!" when he entered the door.
Liu Yimin was excited. The historical Wanjialing Victory still happened, but it was so late. It was already at the end of October, a full 20 days later than the historical Wanjialing Victory. But this is normal.
Historically, our troops evacuated Wuhan on October 25th. It’s already the end of the month. Isn’t Wuhan still in the hands of the Chinese? Historically, the Japanese army took control of Guangzhou on October 23rd. I’m afraid the Japanese troops attacking Guangzhou haven’t set off yet!
Taking the victory report from the headquarters from He Xinghua, he looked at it carefully and found that it was really the same as the Wanjialing victory in history. Xue Yue commanded the national army to seize the opportunity of the Japanese 106th Division's attempt to make a detour.
The Japanese 106th Division was crippled in the Wanjialing area, which was almost equivalent to total annihilation. This really showed the style of Xue Yue, a famous anti-Japanese general, and the ace of the 74th Army.
Liu Yimin was so excited that he immediately drafted a telegram asking the headquarters to forward it to Chiang Kai-shek and Xue Yue, warmly congratulating him on the victory at Wanjialing, and praising Xue Yue as "a famous Chinese general and a pioneer in the fight against Japan."
After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin thought about it carefully. By this time in the Wuhan Battle, the Japanese casualties had been very heavy. Like the Wanjialing victory, one of the main factors was the loss of the 27th Division, which was tasked with supporting the 106th Division.
Too big. After receiving the order to reinforce the 106th Division, the commander of the 27th Division, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, saw that the Chinese army was still tenacious and was unwilling to trade the lives of his soldiers for the 106th Division.
The soldiers of the regiment ignored the orders of Okamura Neiji, turned their troops to attack in other directions, and sold the 106th Division. From this point, it can be seen that the entire Wuhan Battle was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The little devil was also scared.
Think again about the Battle of Fujin Mountain, the Battle of Xinluo and the battles at the fortresses along the Yangtze River. The Chinese army showed its tenacious will to fight and refused to retreat. No matter how tyrannical and fierce the firepower of Japan, it will not be able to defend its country when faced with the challenge of defending its homeland.
, the Chinese army that is willing to shed blood and sacrifice, what else can it do except filling the road to Wuhan with the lives of soldiers?
As I thought about it, I thought of the majestic fight of the 74th Army and the Fourth Army in Wanjialing. It was a life-for-life fight, a head-on collision, and the point of the bayonet was high and low. There was no falsehood. Although the first 0
The Sixth Division is a third-class division in the Japanese army. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is not as good as the Garrison Division and the Public Security Division. But after all, it is a trapped beast still fighting, and it will fight to the death at critical moments. In this battle, I am afraid that the National Army
All the troops participating in the war were severely damaged!
When Liu Yimin thought deeply about this, he felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. Fortunately, at this point in the Battle of Wuhan, the little devil tried his best to suck milk, but he did not get much benefit. He just occupied more space.
Trading human lives for territory is an inferior strategy from a strategic point of view. On the contrary, our army is strategically superior to the Japanese army, and its tactics are much more flexible than in the past. It has also suffered heavy losses to the Japanese army and has achieved brilliant results. The worrying thing is that the Japanese army is still very powerful after all.
, such a head-on confrontation will expose the troops to the Japanese aircraft and heavy artillery if not careful. Every time a battle is fought, a large number of veterans will be sacrificed, which can easily weaken the combat effectiveness of the troops and is not conducive to long-term operations. Especially the Japanese army in Wuhan
If they are defeated in a row in the battle, they will inevitably increase their troops on a large scale, and Wuhan may no longer be defendable. Especially since Japan has suffered heavy casualties around Wuhan and is making slow progress, it will inevitably mobilize its troops south to attack Guangzhou. If Guangzhou is lost,
This cut off the National Government's foreign trade channels, and it would be difficult to purchase weapons, ammunition and raw materials from Europe and the United States. I am afraid that only the Burma Highway, the China-India Highway and the Hump Route could support the National Government's anti-war material transportation.
Liu Yimin now wished he could launch an attack immediately to disrupt the Japanese army's deployment and make the little devil look at Wuhan in a daze. But from a strategic point of view, he had to wait, at least wait until the Japanese army landed in Guangdong, and then he could really attack the Japanese army.
On the seven inches.
Suppressing his inner impulse, Liu Yimin ordered Qian Zhuangfei to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in Xuzhou, especially the movements of the Japanese 5th Division. Any information about the 5th Division must be reported immediately.
Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Qian Zhuangfei didn't know that the Japanese army might launch the Battle of Guangzhou, nor did they know that the Fifth Division was the main force in sneak attacks on Guangdong in history. Seeing Liu Yimin's request to keep an eye on the Fifth Division, Qian Zhuangfei couldn't help but suggest: "
Commander, the Fifth Division is attacking westward from Zhengzhou. If they capture Luoyang, Shaanxi will be in danger. I think we should strengthen the reconnaissance and surveillance of the enemy in Zhengzhou. If the Japanese army defeats the main force of the first theater, we will be safe.
A preparation.”
When he said this, both Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong turned their attention to Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin knew that Qian Zhuangfei's worries were also the worries of his comrades, and maybe the Chairman's worries as well. But he could not say that the Japanese army would definitely go south to attack Guangzhou, because that was history after all, and now the historical facts of the Anti-Japanese War had been modified so much by him, Xiao
He was not entirely sure whether Japan would go south to attack Guangzhou. If Japan was determined to capture Luoyang, it could completely attack Shaanxi or advance westward from Nanyang to threaten Xiangfan and Yichang. Strategically speaking, this was also
The best strategy. Therefore, where Japan will make its next move must be supported by accurate intelligence.
Glancing at Qian Zhuangfei, Liu Yimin said slowly: "Chief of Staff Qian, keeping an eye on the Fifth Division means keeping an eye on the movements of the Japanese army. It is the most elite motorized division of the Japanese invaders. No matter what conspiracies and tricks the Japanese army has,
All of them are inseparable from the participation of the Fifth Division. We need to keep an eye on Luoyang, but the most important thing is to keep an eye on Xuzhou, because if the Fifth Division has any tricks, it will definitely complete the supplement in Xuzhou. You tell the comrades in Xuzhou
, we must keep our eyes open and be careful of the tricks played by the Fifth Division, and don't let them deceive us by pretending. Once we find out that the Fifth Division has arrived in Xuzhou and Lianyungang, our army will immediately launch operations. This matter is no small matter, absolutely
Don’t be careless.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhuangfei thought that Liu Yimin was going to deal with the Fifth Division again, and his face immediately lit up with joy. He solemnly saluted Liu Yimin and promised to complete the task.
Liu Yimin also told Qian Zhuangfei that since Comrade Cao Xiangren has arrived, let him get to work immediately. The Japanese army's codes have been changed, and the code books we captured in the past are useless. But we can send a telegram to Li Lingfeng and the others to find a way.
Quietly seize a Japanese military radio station and get the latest Japanese military code book to see if we can monitor the Japanese military's communications. In addition, the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade is here. Their aircraft are all captured by us. Let's take a look at the Japanese military aviation code.
It has not been modified. If it has been modified, forget it. If it has not been modified, can’t it be used?
As soon as he finished saying this, Feng Dafei said that the Japanese North China Front had changed the password a long time ago. Otherwise, how else could the Japanese army have successfully attacked the Mianxian Ordnance Industrial Base?
Liu Yimin then laughed dumbly and said that he was so dizzy that he thought the little Jaap was a three-year-old child. After saying that, he remembered that the Chinese army captured a Japanese carrier-based aircraft that made an emergency landing in the Wuhan Battle. Dai Li obtained it from this aircraft.
The Japanese Air Force's communication code began to establish a radio reconnaissance agency. After arriving in Chongqing, the agency was expanded to secretly monitor Japanese military communications. Historically, Dai Li and the others obtained top-secret information about the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor through radio monitoring. Now, due to his arrival, he was forced to
The Japanese Army in North China frequently changed their codes. I wonder if the Japanese Navy would also learn from the North China Front Army, making Dai Li's efforts in vain. Alas, I hope the Japanese Navy does not know that their carrier-based aircraft has been captured!
In the evening, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan hosted a banquet in honor of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade and the work team led by Li Qiang.
It was said to be a banquet, but in fact it meant setting up a table in the courtyard of the division headquarters and asking the division headquarters cooking class to make a large pot of chowder. Each person had a bowl of vegetables, two steamed buns and a bowl of rice soup. Liu Yimin simply asked Ni
China invited 30 overseas Chinese pilots recruited from the United States to have dinner and communicate with the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade.
After these 30 pilots arrived in Shandong, because the instructors had been in combat, there was no time to send them to Xi'an, so they had to move with the troops. During the two months of war, Liu Yimin organized them into a brigade and asked the leader Xue
Junmin organized pilot training and asked Cai Zhong to send cadres to live with them, mainly to exchange feelings and educate the Eighth Route Army on military style and discipline. Not to mention, these young guys who are eager to serve the country are really good. In just two
Months later, when I pulled them out and took a look, they all looked like the Eighth Route Army.
Feng Dafei had long known that Ni Hua had brought back a group of pilots from the United States. Thinking of the excellent driving skills and tenacious and flexible tactical style of David and the other first batch of pilots, he was full of expectations for these pilots. This
As soon as they met, Feng Dafei led a large group of cadres and soldiers to get together with them. Since they were all overseas Chinese and could all speak Chinese, there was no language barrier, and the two groups of pilots soon became enthusiastic.
Xue Junmin and the others all graduated from flight schools in the United States and obtained American pilot licenses. However, they did not know much about Japanese aircraft. After waiting in vain for several months in Shandong, they were already very itchy. After a while,
Once they got to know each other well, Feng Dafei asked them to take them to visit the aircraft and familiarize them with its operation.
When Feng Dafei saw that all these young men were good-looking, he let everyone eat first. After eating, he took them to see the plane. He picked up the food bowl, forked the steamed buns with chopsticks, and ate and drank. Soon
I filled my stomach. Then I ran over to Liu Yimin and said that all these pilots had been organized into the aviation brigade. They could form a fighter brigade, with ten people in a squadron and each one with a fighter jet. But now the Eighth Route Army aviation brigade has not a single fighter jet.
No, these 30 fighter jets have all landed on the little devil. Please find a solution as soon as possible, division commander. As long as there are fighter jets and aviation ammunition, the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade will be an air force that can make the little devil sleepless. It is guaranteed to complete the division commander's assignment.
given the mission to bomb Tokyo.
Feng Dafei's eager look made Luo Ronghuan laugh, saying that Feng Dafei was like a silly boy marrying a wife, jumping up and down in a hurry.
Feng Dafei was embarrassed, he smiled and said: "Political Commissar, aren't I impatient? The Japs are so rampant and bombing every day, I can't sit still! It turns out that we have fighter jets, but unfortunately the pilots are not trained enough and they don't dare to attack easily. That's it.
We even had a fierce fight with the Japs over Mian County! Now that we have qualified pilots, but the fighter jets are gone, what do you think we should do? My pilots can’t steal the Japs’ plane!”
Liu Yimin answered: "Why not? Next time I will take you to the Japanese airport to rob it. Isn't Japan industrially developed? Isn't it able to build aircraft quickly? Let's rob it.
, blow it up and see if it can be produced faster, or we can blow it up faster and rob it faster!"
Cai Zhong jokingly jokingly said: "Such a big teacher, don't talk about robbing and blowing up all the time, as if we are rough people. Do you understand? We are seizing, we are seizing trophies!"
Liu Yimin finished drinking the rice soup, put the bowl on the table, and said: "It's the same. Anyway, I rob the little devils a lot, and the little devils scolded me a lot, I don't care!"
Feng Dafei immediately answered the call: "Sir, you are a calligrapher, poet, painter, and a great intellectual who compiles teaching materials in the eyes of the soldiers. If you continue to be like this, I am afraid that I will meet a beautiful little girl again.
If you scare them away, they will think they are not meeting a great hero of the Eighth Route Army, but a small platoon leader of the National Army!"
When he said this, Liu Yimin also felt that his elder brother and younger brother were too vulgar and inconsistent with his status. Damn it, it made the little devil angry.
Luo Ronghuan liked to see Liu Yimin's arrogant attitude the most. Listening to their bickering, his eyes almost burst into laughter. Seeing that Liu Yimin was silent, Luo Ronghuan said: "Okay, stop bickering. Dafei will greet you.
Pilots, please pay attention to safety. Commander, please go home quickly and see if the children are doing well. I am afraid Tang Xingying is looking forward to it!"
When Cai Zhong heard this, he immediately stood up and pushed Liu Yimin away. He said that since he had been away from the army for such a long time, he probably had to hold it back, so he hurried home to see his wife. He was so angry that if he opened his mouth or shut up, it was either me or him.
Rob, listen and infiltrate people.
Liu Yimin was much thicker-skinned now, but his face was still burning when Cai Zhong said it, and he couldn't care so much anymore. With Cai Zhong's push, he turned around and walked away, with laughter falling all over his back.
When I got home, I saw that Tang Xingying was leading He'er to read by the light. Liu Yimin stood at the door outside the bedroom and took a look. He saw that what he was reading was the "Enlightened Mandarin Reader" written by Ye Shengtao and illustrated by Feng Zikai.
It is precisely "The Postman in Green Clothes Comes to the Door": "A few thin pieces of paper, on which there are many black ants. The ants are silent and can explain everything clearly."
The beautiful voice of Tang Xingying and the tender voice of children made the reading not only catchy, but also very warm. Liu Yimin was immediately fascinated, leaning against the door frame, quietly admiring the two girls teaching each other,
Such a joyful scene.
Tang Xingying felt that there seemed to be someone in the room. When she looked up, she saw Liu Yimin staring at the two girls infatuatedly. When he opened his mouth, he exclaimed "Yeah". As soon as the sound came out, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
, she looks exactly like a shy young woman.
When He'er turned around, he saw Liu Yimin standing at the door. He stopped reading. He jumped down from the stool, opened his hands and ran towards Liu Yimin, calling "Dad" as he ran.
Liu Yimin picked up He'er, kissed him twice, and then asked if He'er was good and obedient when his father was away.
Xiao Zhenghe said in a sweet voice that he had listened to his mother and already knew many words, could count, and could recite Tang poems.
As he spoke, the little guy started to show off, and recited Li Bai's "Seven Wonders? Looking at Tianmen Mountain" "The Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flowed eastward here. The green mountains on both sides of the bank faced each other, and the sun came out.
." After reciting it, the little guy still wanted to finish it, so he recited another poem from Li Bai's "Seven Wonders? Farewell to Meng Haoran in Guangling": "My old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. The shadow of the solitary sail was far away from the blue mountains, and only the Yangtze River was visible.
Tianjiliu." Liu Yimin was so happy that he kissed his son's little face several times and repeatedly praised his son for being so good and smart.
Tang Xingying was overjoyed to see her husband come back. She was even more happy when she saw her husband praising her son. Her face was full of life, and she hurriedly went to pour water for Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin stopped his wife and asked her where Ping'er was.
Tang Xingying said that she had just fed her milk, and Mrs. Zhang took her to put her to sleep. She had nothing to do, so she taught He'er how to read.
Liu Yimin went to various units to inspect this time. It was true that he had been out for a long time. When he saw Tang Xingying's pretty face, he felt hot in his heart. He wanted to let He'er go to bed, but the little guy hadn't seen him for a long time. This time he saw him.
She started to feel energetic, and she would wiggle around in his arms, touch his hair and face from time to time, pester him with questions, and didn't want to go to sleep at all.
Liu Yimin was anxious and had no choice, so he asked Tang Xingying whether the work of the Women's Committee was going smoothly.
Liu Yimin's actions and expressions all fell into Tang Xingying's eyes. As a woman, no matter how strong a warrior is, there are tender moments, and she also likes her lover's anxious look. With a pursed smile, Tang Xingying told
Liu Yimin said that the work of the Women's Committee is going very smoothly. The main force is here, and the fellows in the base area have a backbone. The enthusiasm for resisting Japan is very high. In addition, the anti-Japanese democratic government has policy opponents. The fellows are very supportive. According to the cadres of the Eighth Route Army
It is very authoritative, and many young girls and young wives are actively participating in production and frontline support. The Women's Committee has organized a training class for women cadres, recruiting female students from Southeast Shandong, Taiyi Mountain, and Southern Shandong, mainly studying
Policy, military affairs, propaganda and agitation, and building organizations to mobilize the masses. The trainees have already reported to various counties after graduation. The second training class has just begun, and the number of people is much larger than the first. The next step is for the Women's Committee
The focus is to mobilize young girls to join the militia and the army, cooperate with field hospitals and the health department of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government Council, open health schools, and train a group of nurses for the army.
After Tang Xingying finished speaking, He'er finally felt dizzy. Liu Yimin winked, and Tang Xingying took her son and carried her to Mrs. Zhang.
