Before leaving, Cai Zhong told Li Chengyi, the commander of the guard who was responsible for the guard outside the door, to bring the field hospital, art troupe, and newspaper comrades who followed the division headquarters to try golden silk noodles and three-page cakes. They are all intellectuals, and they are precious! They always eat food from the army's house, which makes people's taste rough!
Luo Ronghuan heard it on the side, staring at Cai Zhong tightly through thick lenses for a long time, and then said to Li Chengyi: "Don't call other people, the food in the army is already good. Comrade Lin Yueqin and Comrade Ren Ying are both old Red Army soldiers, so there is no need to make special contributions. Other comrades must also abide by discipline and do not act at will without orders. Let Comrade Zhao Xiaoman and Comrade Jingjing accompany the reporter from Wuhan to change their tastes and pay attention to safety."
Cai Zhongda opened his mouth and couldn't speak. It took him a long time to explain: "Political Commissar, I don't want Comrade Lin Yueqin and Comrade Ren Ying to have a tooth sacrifice, but I want those lesbians to satisfy their cravings. I have been fighting for several months and are they easy to talk about. Are lesbians a little more spoiled after all."
Luo Ronghuan said: "Everyone is equal in front of discipline. Lesbians need care, but they don't need to be spoiled. They are all Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they need steel-like will, rather than deliberately caring."
Liu Yimin knew in his heart that Cai Zhong had guessed his thoughts and wanted Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing to satisfy his cravings, but he did not expect that Political Commissar Luo also saw through it, and he also used Lin Yueqin and Ren Ying to talk about it, and he vaguely meant criticism and persuasion. Thinking about it, although Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were his closest comrades, they were the veritable old Red Army and the Old Eighth Route Army who were rolling out of the rain of bullets and bullets, but they came from time to time. How could they think of the highly prosperous life scene in the future? How could they think of what their original life was like?
Zi? I'm afraid they wouldn't have imagined that the values and philosophies of later generations have changed greatly from the pursuit of their generation. Now, in the eyes of Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhonghe and all the Eighth Route Army cadres and soldiers, the goal of life is to defeat the invaders and establish a new China, but people in the peace era in later generations believe that the goal of life is to enjoy life. It seems that the characteristic of eating good food is probably to many comrades who want to enjoy it. But I have eaten sorghum and jade noodles since I was a child. This characteristic really cannot be changed.
With a silent smile, Liu Yimin said to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong: "Political Commissar Luo's opinion is strict requirements, of course it is correct. Director Cai also cares about the soldiers, so it is also correct. I will tell you about this truth in Chengdu. Is it necessary to improve your life before the war? Now it is dark, and I am not afraid that the Japanese planes will find us. It is no big deal to let the lesbians separate shifts to play tooth sacrifices. Unfortunately, Jingzhi Town is too small and there are too few restaurants. When you conquer the big city, just like when you enter Chengdu and Xi'an, the whole army will give you allowances and have holidays, so that the soldiers can taste all the delicious food."
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong looked at each other, and thought of the three words "Harmony" in their hearts. However, they were all old comrades-in-arms. They were together day and night, and everyone understood what Xiaojiujiu in their hearts. Luo Ronghuan just didn't explain Liu Yimin's little thoughts thoroughly.
When returning to the division headquarters, Qian Zhuangfei, He Xinghua and Cao Xiangren were leading the soldiers of the communications battalion to set up high-power antennas to enable the radio to turn on and receive telegrams from the central and headquarters.
Liu Yimin was most concerned about whether the Japanese army landed on the eastern coast of Guangzhou. He had been in the marching these days, and the high-power radio stations contacted the headquarters could not be turned on, so he could only use the low-power radio station to maintain contact with the brigades. In Guangzhou, Liu Yimin didn't know the movements of the Japanese army in the military. Therefore, as soon as he returned to the division headquarters, Liu Yimin asked Qian Zhuangfei to contact the headquarters immediately to see if the Japanese army's sneak attack on Guangzhou had already started.
Liu Yimin didn't know that after the Japanese Fifth Division headed south by boat, due to the need of the Wuhan battlefield, the 18th Division, which had already been on standby in Penghu, could not wait to meet with the 5th Division, and drove directly to Daya Bay, and launched landing operations in the early morning of November 4th. Among them, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army landed on the left and front of Daya Bay; the Oikawa Detachment landed on the Yanshaobei; the 104th Division landed on the glass factory on the right of Daya Bay: one of the 18th Division landed on the head of Xi'an Oa, followed by the attack on Tamsui, and the other one landed on Huizhou. After landing on the 104th Division immediately attacked Pinghai and prepared to follow the 18th Division. The Fifth Division sailed to Humen Fortress.
Although Liu Yimin immediately reported to the commander-in-chief that the Japanese army was about to attack Guangzhou, the Fourth War Zone had also concentrated the main force of the 12th Army on Daya Bay to Guangzhou, on the east bank of the Pearl River, the Japanese army launched flares and concentrated ship gun bombardment. After dawn, all carrier-based aircraft were dispatched to bombard the enemy. The Japanese army successfully landed, the 18th Division captured Tamsui City, captured Pingshan on the 5th; occupied Hengli on the 6th, and advanced to the southern suburbs of Huiyang. The 10th Division occupied Pinghai County on November 4th, occupied Renshan and Jilong on the 5th, and arrived at the south side of Huizhou. At dusk on November 6th, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Huizhou with superior forces. The 151st Division of the Chinese defender retreated that night after resisting slightly.
At this time, the front line of Guangzhou was already in chaos. Yu Hanmou was determined to organize troops to counterattack, and even wanted to concentrate all armored vehicles to resolutely repel the Japanese army, but this was just a vision. After all, a considerable number of troops in the Fourth War Zone were transferred to the Wuhan battlefield and there was no time to return to Guangzhou to help, Yu Hanmou was short of troops. If the Japanese Fifth Division arrived, Guangzhou would probably fall in just twenty days as in history.
Not only was Guangzhou a mess, but the Wuhan Command was even more chaotic at this time.
Chiang Kai-shek had been in a state of mania for three consecutive days. From the time he received the landing of the Japanese army, he arrived at the war room, sat in front of the map, staring at Guangzhou with his eyes tightly, and kept ordering to send a telegram to Yu Hanmou, instructing the Second Army to concentrate its forces, and to repel the Japanese army and crush the Japanese army's attempt to capture Guangzhou. From time to time, he stood up and walked anxiously, cursing a few words about Niangxi.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was in chaos, hated Liu Yimin and the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army at this time. Although he knew that the Eighth Route Army units fought bloody battles in Shanxi, Suicha, Pingbei, Hebei, southern Hebei, central Hebei, Shandong and even northeast, he believed that the Eighth Route Army Liu Yimin did not launch a large-scale attack, resulting in inability to restrain the Japanese army. He watched the Japanese army split their troops south to attack Guangzhou and watch the war situation in Wuhan deteriorated. Therefore, he sent six telegrams to Zhu De and Peng Dehuai, urging the Eighth Route Army Liu Yimin Army to launch a quick attack and force the enemy to return to help to resolve the dangers of the war situation in Wuhan and the South China.
In view of the fact that Liu Yimin's army was elusive and the command was unable to contact Liu Yimin directly, which affected unified command, Chiang Kai-shek strictly ordered Zhu and Peng to report the accurate location of Liu Yimin's army. The commander's army would send a communications and liaison team to carry a radio station and a password book to Liu's headquarters tomorrow. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek ignored Soong Mei-ling's concern about keeping Ni Hua to negotiate with the United States, and his role was greater than urging the instructor to launch an attack, and asked Ni Hua to return to the instructor at the Eighth Route Army.
Due to the changes in the battle situation today, after the high-power radio station of the teaching division department was turned on, he received a series of telegrams from the headquarters, and He Xinghua trotted all the way to Liu Yimin.
Seeing the battle report that the 21st Japanese Army of the headquarters had landed in Daya Bay on November 4, four days ago, Liu Yimin couldn't help laughing and dancing.
Luo Ronghuan frowned and reminded Liu Yimin: "Teacher Commander, the Japanese attack on Guangzhou will not only lead to the deterioration of the war in Wuhan, but will also cut off the channels for our country to purchase arms from abroad. Why are you happy? Are you intoxicated by your accurate judgment?"
Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Political Commissar, haven't I told you? This Japanese army's sneak attack on Guangzhou was indeed a fierce and accurate killer move, and it was very clever. However, from the grand strategy of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese offensive was about to come to an end. Think about it, if this little Japanese no longer invades North China after occupying Northeast China, or now adopts the opinions of the faction of not expanding the scale of the war in China, withdrawing troops from Central China and North China, and only requires the recognition of Manchukuo and safeguarding its special rights and interests in North China and Central China, then some people in the international community will come out to mediate vigorously. I
Even if the country does not compromise, it is unlikely that we can take back the Northeast with Japan's national strength and force. The situation is different now. The little Japanese are not willing to swallow elephants. They occupy Northeast China, attack Central China, and South China, and Nanjing, and want to occupy Wuhan and Guangzhou. They are not afraid to kill it! Fight, occupy, the more territory they occupy, the more dispersed its troops will be. Gradually, its permanent divisions will become the security divisions. It is difficult to launch a large strategic offensive! I think, the strategic stalemate stage of China's War of Resistance Against Japan is coming."
Luo Ronghuan shook his head and said, "Although that's it, this is an offensive operation of the Japanese army. I don't know how many compatriots want their wives and their children to be separated, and their families are destroyed."
After this statement, Liu Yimin's excitement was immediately extinguished, and he sat down and continued to read the telegram.
In the telegram, General Zhu and General Peng said that due to the Japanese raid on Guangzhou, the 21st Army of the Fourth War Zone failed to stop the Japanese army. Judging from the strength comparison between the two sides, it was only a matter of time before Guangzhou was lost. Affected by this, the battle of Wuhan was completely over. At this time, the elite Japanese divisions were all on the front lines of Wuhan, Guangzhou and Zhengzhou. It was the best time for the instructor to launch the Jiaoji Road Battle and give the arrogant Japanese army a blow. As long as the instructor attacks resolutely and quickly, it will not only wipe out the enemy's 108th Division and 33rd Division in one fell swoop, but also make the Japanese army and the Japanese army in Wuhan and Guangzhou lose their advance and retreat, completely disrupting the strategic deployment of the Japanese army. The instructor's previous battle concept has been approved by the central government and headquarters. I hope to implement it as soon as possible. I believe that the hero's instructor can create another miracle.
At the end of the telegram, Zhu and Peng, the two bosses, reported that Chiang Kai-shek ordered a communications liaison group to bring a radio station and a password book to the instructor. The Central and Headquarters wanted to refuse, but after researching the Central and Headquarters, they believed that this was a difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and that the united front should be maintained and adhered to the united front, work together to overcome difficulties. Therefore, in the name of Zhu and Peng of the 18th Group Army, Chiang Kai-shek, agreed to the communications liaison group of the commander's headquarters to arrive at the Dadian temporary airport in Ju County tomorrow morning. Comrade Ni Hua randomly returned to the instructor's work, and please do a good job in navigation and security guards. The Political Department of the 18th Group Army decided that Ni Hua would still serve as the deputy director of the Eighth Route Army General Hospital and the deputy director of the Field Hospital of the Field Hospital. I believe that Liu, Luo and Shandong Bureau, the instructors are capable of handling the relationship with the communications liaison group sent by Chiang Kai-shek.
After reading this telegram, Liu Yimin felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he still handed the telegram to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong.
After Cai Zhong looked at it, he smacked his lips and glanced at Liu Yimin. Seeing that the guy's face was unstable, it was clearly affected by the telegram, he said, "What are you worried about? We have all eliminated the powerful 8th Division, the 10th Division, and the 21st Brigade, and can you still be afraid that a communication and contact group will not be formed? However, it is a good thing for Ni Hua to come back. The soldiers will be very happy when they know it. Is our Red Bodhisattva back? But, brother, your life is going to be sad again! Haha, eating a bowl and watching the man in the pot, you will have to support me sooner or later! Who makes you look so lovable? Look at me, Lao Cai, except for your sister-in-law, no little girl is willing to look at me more, how relaxed!"
Luo Ronghuan knew that Cai Zhong was trying to help Liu Yimin relax, but he was afraid that he would make Liu Yimin's psychological pressure. After careful consideration, he walked up to Liu Yimin and said, "The most important thing in front of him is to fight the Jiaoji Road Battle, and other things are secondary. I think, send a telegram to Feng Dafei, who is left at the airport, and make a reply tomorrow morning. The contact team is just a decoration to put it bluntly, but it just plays a role in sending and receiving telegrams. Don't talk about them, what can you do if Chiang Kai-shek comes in person? We will still listen to his blind command? Don't think too much and cheer up your spirits. This is a fighter jet you have been looking forward to for so long. Focus on your energy, and all the troops are waiting for orders!"
Liu Yimin's face was a little miserable. He reached out to take the water cup, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, calmed down, and said, "Actually it's nothing. Chiang Kai-shek was also so worried about the situation of the war. He sent a communications liaison team to come, just to facilitate contact. I guess he knew that other ideas were boring. This is also good. When the communications liaison team of the Kuomintang army came, there might be a US military contact group and the Soviet military contact group. The more people come, the better, which means that our weight is so that they have to pay attention to it."
After pondering for a while, Liu Yimin added: "As for Ni Hua, he was a Red Army soldier who had made great contributions. It would be better to come back, and it was not safe to stay with Chiang Kai-shek. Director Cai sent a message to Feng Dafei, asking them to contact the Central Air Force, do a good job of navigation, and ensure safety. After the plane arrived, the Logistics Command asked the Logistics Command to send troops to escort Ni Hua and the others to meet with the division headquarters and not stay in the big shop. The war is about to begin, and there are many wounded people, and Ni Hua must immediately start work. Director Cai brought the telegrams from each unit along the way, and I think it's time for us to do it."
Cai Zhong went to send a report, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan sat withered, and no one wanted to speak, and the room was quiet.
Cai Zhong came back soon and brought telegrams from various troops to report on the progress. As soon as he entered the door, he happily reported that Wang Laohu and Wang Dahu had won the battle.
Liu Yimin received the telegram and saw that Wang Laohu's attack on Anqiu was like acting, extremely exciting. He could also use the Japanese squad leader to trick the passage to Weixian County. In this way, wouldn't the Japanese 108th Division headquarters be destroyed by Wang Dahu and Wang Laohu anytime and anywhere? This battle is easy to fight.
After looking at the reports of other troops, Fu Zhuting on the Hebei-Shandong border, he was able to concentrate the main force, county brigades, district squadrons, and militias, and prepared to attack Cang County. Once the Japanese army stationed in Cang County, the Hebei-Shandong border troops will aid Shandong in the east, and they will take advantage of the situation to capture Cang County.
Liu Jian reported that the Second Education Brigade, the Shandong-Western Security Brigade, and the Second Shandong-Western Security Brigade have also completed assembly and can launch an attack on De County at any time, cut off the Jinpu Road, and threaten Jinan.
Chen Shiqu reported that the Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade has joined forces with the Thai West Guard Brigade and will launch multi-point attacks at the strongholds of the 13th Independence-Mixed Brigade stationed in Thailand tomorrow, and set up an ambush battlefield to expand the results of the battle, and strive to concentrate the forces of the two brigades to eat the 13th Independence-Mixed Brigade in one bite.
Hong Chaoyuan reported that the Fifth Brigade of the Southern Line, the Southeast Shandong Detachment, and the Tai'an Detachment have completed the deployment to ensure the completion of the task of blocking the Japanese and puppet troops in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Linyi, and the Japanese and puppet troops in Tai'an along the Taiwei Highway and Tailai Highway.
The northern Jiangsu detachment and three cavalry battalions who remained in northern Jiangsu also sent telegrams reporting on the construction of the base area and the implementation of the cold gun and cold gun movement.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin was aware of the situation of the enemy around him and the original combat plan remained unchanged. However, because Wang Laohu successfully attacked Anqiu County, the Jiaoji Road Battle would be smoother.
Liu Yimin sat down, calmed down, and began to draft an order to launch the Jiaoji Road Battle.
During the order, Liu Yimin wrote: "Heroic, glorious teacher, all commanders and comrades in command:
After the Japanese army failed to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the Shandong base, they launched the Battle of Wuhan. In the early morning of this day, three divisions of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, one directly under the mixed brigade and an aviation regiment landed on the eastern coast of Guangzhou and raided Guangzhou. Wuhan crisis! Guangzhou crisis! From northeast to north China, to the Central Plains, to central China, east China, and south China, the Japanese army's iron hooves wantonly trampled on the ancient land of China, and countless Chinese people struggled in the tyranny of the Japanese army.
At this critical moment of life and death of the Chinese nation, at the critical moment when the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was facing a comprehensive danger, countless Chinese heroes stepped forward and fought desperately with the Japanese army. Taihang Mountains, Dabie Mountains, the surging Yellow River, and the vast Yangtze River were everywhere in battlegrounds for heroes to kill the enemy!
The teacher is a heroic army, a glorious army, a legendary army, and a victorious army in the minds of the Chinese people. Since joining the war, our army has fought in Taiyuan, attacked Tianjin, seized Qingdao, captured Lianyun, and won invincible battles, creating one miracle after another in the history of war and made immortal contributions!
Now, the main forces of the Japanese army are concentrated in the Shanxi front, Wuhan front, Zhengzhou front, Guangzhou front, and the Japanese army in central Shandong are extremely empty, with only the 108th Division, the 33rd Division, the Jiaoji Road Garage, the Qingdao Garage, and the Jinan Garage. These troops are all garbage troops in the Japanese army. Whether it is equipment, training, or the quality of the troops, they are far inferior to my elite teachers in the battle.
In view of the enemy situation in central Shandong, according to the orders of the Central Military Commission and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Liu and Luo were determined to launch the Jiaoji Road Battle, completely eliminate the enemy in central Shandong, and fight for Dingluzhong, Shandong, and Jiaodong, completely turning the hinterland of Shandong into a stable anti-Japanese base.
In order to ensure that the Jiaoji Road Battle achieves its goal, the Shandong Bureau of the Communist Party of China, the Shandong Military Region, and the Party Committee of the Division ordered you to launch a brave and resolute attack on the Japanese army in accordance with the battle plan, divide the enemy, surround the enemy, and use our courage, use our tactics, use our steel guns and artillery fire to smash all enemies that are stubbornly resisting!
All Communist Party members and all old Red Army soldiers must carry forward the glorious tradition of our army's courage to defeat all powerful enemies, fight continuously, not afraid of hardship and death, unite and lead the soldiers to fight for the complete annihilation of the 108th Division and the 33rd Division!"
After writing, Liu Yimin read it, signed his name, and handed it to Luo Ronghuan for a signature.
Considering that Wuhan is currently panic and Chiang Kai-shek is at a loss, it is likely that Wuhan will stage another miserable retreat, Liu Yimin still sent Chiang Kai-shek a telegram forwarded by the headquarters.
In the telegram, Liu Yimin reported that due to the excessive casualties of the instructor in the previous battle, the main force was unable to fight again, and had to disperse guerrillas, attack the Japanese army's Longhai Line and Jinpu Line transportation line, restrain the Japanese army, and support the Wuhan battle. After more than two months of rest, the main force of the instructor's main force has recovered. Now the troops have completed assembly and are ready to attack the enemy in Bengbu in the southern section of the Jinpu Road, with the spirit of decisive death, fight the Japanese army to death, support and defend Wuhan and Guangzhou.
The reason why he said that the attack point was the enemy of Bengbu in the southern section of Jinpu Road was that Liu Yimin was very jealous and afraid of leaking the secrets.
Considering Chiang Kai-shek's current mood, Liu Yimin then analyzed the situation after the Japanese army's raid on Guangzhou, believing that the loss of Wuhan is not scary, and that the loss of Guangzhou is not scary. The longer the Japanese front line, the more dispersed the troops, and they will have to move into a stalemate with our army's strategy. This realized the strategic concept of Chairman Mao's protracted war and Chairman Chiang's exchange of space for time. The top priority is not to consider how to maintain Wuhan or how to maintain Guangzhou, but to consider the protracted war of resistance and quickly and orderly retreating Wuhan and Guangzhou's materials, equipment, personnel, training troops, and mobilize the people.
Liu Yimin didn't care whether Chiang Kai-shek was upset or not. He patiently persuaded Chiang Kai-shek not to have the fantasy of winning quickly. If China and Japan are left with the strength, the War of Resistance cannot be won in a day or two, nor can the war be ended by a single victory. The Sino-Japanese War is compared with the potential of the war, the endurance, and who is more sacrificed.
Finally, Liu Yimin said politely, thank Chairman Jiang for sending Ni Hua back. The Eighth Route Army lacked medical treatment and medicine, and urgently needed a high-level doctor like Ni Hua.
