After crossing the Hukou Yellow River Cable Bridge, looking from a distance, a thin Eighth Route Army cadre stood there to greet him, with a group of guards behind him. Liu Yimin took a closer look, wasn't that Comrade Chen Yun?
Liu Yimin never expected that Comrade Chen Yun would come to greet him, so he hurried forward to greet him.
After the Red Army occupied Shaanxi, in accordance with Liu Yimin's suggestions for the construction of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Democratic Base Area, Chen Yun, who was in charge of economic work, and Zhang Wentian, Li Fuchun and others of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Democratic Government worked hard and implemented them item by item. Now they have achieved great results. This observation
Liu Yimin walked across the cable bridge, climbed to the west bank of the Yellow River, and walked quickly towards him. Comrade Chen Yun, who was smiling, waved quickly and shouted "Comrade Yimin, welcome home" and also walked up to him quickly.
Saluting, shaking hands, hugging. The two old comrades who had not seen each other for more than a year since going north to the anti-Japanese battlefield expressed their thoughts to each other.
Chen Yun told Liu Yimin that after receiving the telegram that he had escaped safely, the central government decided to send people to greet him. He wanted to be the first to see Liu Yimin return safely, so he repeatedly asked, but luckily he was allowed. Originally, he thought that Liu Yimin would cross the river at Longmen and leave from South Korea.
He rushed back to Xi'an from the city and rushed to Hancheng. When he learned last night that he was crossing the river at Hukou, he immediately headed north and finally made it. This time, he felt really relieved.
Liu Yimin was so moved that he took Chen Yun's hand and the two of them walked along the Yellow River, chatting while walking. He first asked about the health of the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Mr. Zhu and Zhang Wentian, and then asked about the changes in the lives of acquaintances in Xi'an.
, they are all about the scenes after parting ways.
Chen Yun saw that Liu Yimin's face was full of brilliance, and his brows looked indescribably friendly and lively. There was no trace of fatigue after a long journey, and there was no sense of fear like escaping from death. He felt strange and asked Liu Yimin if he was there.
Everything went well with Yan Xishan and achieved results.
Liu Yimin said with a smile, "I was sounding the alarm for Yan Xishan just now at the east end of the cable bridge! This Yan Laoxi'er is in deep water! However, in general, due to the impact of the Eighth Route Army's performance, Yan Xishan and his Shanxi-Sui Army
The current enthusiasm for the Anti-Japanese War is still very high, and it is normal for a rift to occur between the Party and our party. After all, we have established base areas in Shanxi, expanded our armed forces, and gained benefits. It is normal for Yan Xishan and his Thirteen Taibao to be angry.
, it is abnormal to have no anger. As long as we provide correct guidance, actively negotiate with Yan Xishan, and provide economic and military support at the appropriate time, it is still possible for Yan Xishan to persist in uniting and resisting the war. Of course, we cannot be careless and must beware of Yan Xishan.
Seeing that Liu Yimin looked calm and spoke with great confidence, Chen Yun felt relieved and told Liu Yimin that Yan Xishan held a military-political liaison meeting in Guxian in June. The signs at the meeting were abnormal and tended to suppress the development of the new army. Bo
They were very worried for a while and reported to the Central Committee many times. Only then did the chairman order him to pay a visit to Yan Xishan. The purpose was to let Yan Xishan know that the main fighting force of the Eighth Route Army was powerful and any ideas and practices that undermined the unity and resistance against Japan were dangerous.
, and it is impossible to achieve the goal.
Liu Yimin nodded and said that Yan Xishan is a talented person who has good political, military and economic skills. He is at a higher level than many of Chiang Kai-shek's officials. However, he has a deep-rooted anti-communist consciousness in his mind and he likes political speculation. Otherwise, he will
His prestige and ability are indeed the united front targets that our party should focus on developing. After meeting the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and Mr. Zhu, we must report to them in detail. Yan Xishan should be pulled, pushed and pressed to encourage him and
Our party cooperates to fight against Japan.
Later, Liu Yimin sat Chen Yun down and asked him how he felt after marriage and whether the bride knew how to take care of him and be considerate of him.
Chen Yun became even more happy when he said this and told Liu Yimin that his wife Yu Luhua was born in Jinan. She is an authentic Shandong girl. She is very beautiful and simple. She knows how to take care of him and now works as his secretary.
It was said that Comrade Xiaoping came back from the Taihang Mountains and wrote a limerick for him. As he spoke, Chen Yun could not help but read out: "A thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thread, a noseache brings a beautiful marriage, the female policy secretary of Zhongshan, the caretaker of Mr.'s route."
Liu Yimin laughed loudly and said that it was well written. Ms. Soong Ching Ling first became Mr. Sun Yat-sen's secretary and then fell in love and got married. You needed someone to take care of you because you were sick, but the person who took care of you turned into your wife. Okay, it's amazing. I didn't expect Comrade Chen Yun.
Things are going well politically, financially, and also in love. It seems that I will have a good time returning to Xi'an this time, and I can try my sister-in-law's craftsmanship.
Chen Yun and Liu Yimin had a good relationship. When Liu Yimin was stationed in Xi'an, Chen Yun often went to Liu Yimin's Seventh Army Corps to have his teeth cut and offer sacrifices. After Liu Yimin got married, he also went to his home to have his teeth cut and offer sacrifices. After talking about his own affairs, Chen Yun asked Liu Yimin if he had agreed to do it this time.
Did you take Tang Xingying, Ni Hua, mother and son back to Xi'an? Why did something unexpected happen before boarding the plane? Was there a quarrel?
Liu Yimin felt a little gloomy when he said this, and his joyful mood caused by his major breakthrough in martial arts in front of Hukou Waterfall in the morning was immediately affected.
Chen Yun didn't want to see Liu Yimin's dejected look, so he said slowly: "Such a majestic general could be defeated by a few girls. Many people will laugh at this matter. The chairman has already said, who
I'm not allowed to interfere in your emotional affairs. This matter is completely up to you. However, I originally thought that you would bring them back, so I thought, if it doesn't work out, I'll leave one of them to study in Xi'an, or both of them.
If they take some time to think about it, they might be able to figure it out. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing you didn't take them with you, otherwise what would have happened!"
Liu Yimin asked very abruptly: "Am I too soft-hearted?"
Chen Yun was stunned, and he pulled out a piece of dead grass from the ground, chewed it in his mouth for a long time, then sighed and said: "I don't think you are soft-hearted, but kind-hearted, and you don't want to hurt anyone who is good to you. Do you want to
Think about it, when did you become soft-hearted when you faced the white dogs on the Long March and now when you are facing the Japanese invaders? You were so decisive in killing and destroying the captives while talking and laughing! How heroic and heroic that is! Just this time, you shot down four Japanese planes after parachuting.
Killed more than 80 Japs and shot them in the head. Finally, they reached the headquarters of the 109th Japs Division in Huo County and killed the Japs’ division commander, chief of staff and confidential staff. Say you will
It's the absolute truth to be as strong as steel. But that's for enemies, it's another thing for lovers. I think one is that you are kind-hearted and don't want them to be sad. The other is that you are indeed too good and too annoying.
Girls are often attracted to you and fall in love with you when they see you. I can't blame you for this. I can tell you that when I go back to Xi'an this time, your friends are not here. There are many young women in Xi'an. You should be honest and don't.
No more trouble."
Liu Yimin was speechless when he said this: "Am I the kind of person who wants to play around?"
Chen Yun smiled: "You are not a playboy, but a kind-hearted person. It is always difficult for people to like you. You are reluctant to let go of this one and don't give up that one. As a result, you have become what you are now. The girls have also recognized this about you.
, stalked and refused to give up until they reached their goal, making the whole world know that the invincible hero of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Yimin, the two wives and several confidants were in a mess. Look at Tang Xingying and Ni Hua, who has not caught you?
Such a mentality, you have to chase after you desperately to succeed? I can't help you with these things, you can handle them yourself. Anyway, you have broad shoulders and a head, so you can carry it! By the way, do you know? The little devil's reward for you has been increased again.
It has risen to 5 million oceans. From now on, you have to be careful wherever you go. Li Chengyi sacrificed his life. Go back and choose a guard leader. I heard that Vice Chairman Zhou and Boss Zhu are choosing a guard for you. It is very possible that
Their guard squad leader will be sent to you."
Liu Yimin shook his head: "I don't need guards, the people who can kill me haven't been born yet!"
Chen Yun said: "Are you proud again? Didn't you almost not come back this time? Well, let's say something happy. After you left, Shaanxi's construction has been somewhat on the right track, except for Mian County, which was destroyed by the Japanese air raids.
Our people's livelihood construction is doing well in the military industrial base and outside Xi'an. The fiscal and taxation system has been established, and the RMB has become the strongest currency in the Shaanxi base area. Production in the oil fields and coal fields is now normal, as is gold mine production.
The relief work has also achieved practical results. Highways from Xi'an to Yulin, from Xi'an to Baoji, from Xi'an to Shangluo, to Hanzhong, and Sichuan have also been built. The chairman asked me to seek your opinion and ask if you would like to take a look at the extension.
oil fields, guide the work there."
Liu Yimin directly replied that the extension could not be extended, as long as normal production would be fine. He was worried about the war in Shandong and would rush back immediately after reporting to the central government.
Chen Yun was a little disappointed and said: "Fuchun and I are eagerly looking forward to your return. We want to accompany you to visit various places in Shaanxi and ask you to help come up with ideas on how to improve Shaanxi's economy so as to provide better services to the front line."
The troops provide adequate logistical support."
Liu Yimin did not want to disappoint Chen Yun, so he said that after reporting to the Central Committee, he would report to Comrade Fuchun specifically and discuss anything together.
After hearing this, Chen Yun said happily: "This is right. Let's go to Yichuan and stay there at night. Let's have a good chat at night."
Liu Yimin then got up and mounted his horse, and together with Chen Yun and the soldiers, they rode towards Yichuan County.
In the evening, after having dinner in Yichuan County, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to Luo Ronghuan, telling him that he had arrived in Yichuan and rendezvoused with Comrade Chen Yun. He asked Luo Ronghuan to sort out the movements of the Japanese troops and report them to him. Then he sent a telegram to Tang Xingying.
, Ni Hua sent a telegram that he had arrived in Shaanxi safely and would rendezvous with Comrade Chen Yun, and asked the division headquarters to pass it on, telling them not to worry, no need to call back, and to work with peace of mind. He would return to Shandong soon.
Thinking about the pitiful looks of the two silly girls Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing, Liu Yimin felt that since things had reached this point and he almost died, why did he still worry so much, so he sent Luo Ronghuan another letter.
A telegram asked him to meet Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing, provide guidance on the propaganda work after occupying Jinan, and tell them that he had returned to Shaanxi safely and would return to Shandong soon.
Luo Ronghuan's telegram arrived soon. He told Liu Yimin that according to reliable information, the Japanese Fifth Division had arrived in Qingdao, and the combined fleet should have also arrived in the sea near Qingdao. In the past two days, Japanese reconnaissance planes had been dispatched frequently, and they judged that they were looking for me.
The main force of the army and the Eighth Route Army Aviation Group hid the location of the airport. The Japanese army on the southern front and the Japanese army in the Dexian direction launched multiple reconnaissance attacks in the past two days, but they were all repelled by our army.
In the telegram, Luo Ronghuan told Liu Yimin that the reason why the aircraft formation was ambushed was because Japanese spies sneaked into Jinan and discovered the time when the aircraft formation left. The Japanese spies lurking in Jinan had been captured. After interrogation, it was found that the Second Sniper Squadron of Wang Shangwu was in
The female militiaman Tang Xiuer met outside the village of Culai was a Japanese spy. However, she did not belong to the North China Front Army's secret service. The captured spy could not tell her origin. They only knew that she was codenamed "Sakura" and that she was a high-level assassin who specialized in assassinating Liu Yimin.
Tang Xiuer and Zhuang Yulian went south as exiled students in Peiping, and joined the Chulai Villager Army, and later went to the Tai'an detachment. The Tai'an detachment kept monitoring and found no abnormalities. After our army captured Jinan, Tang Xiuer and Zhuang Yulian asked for leave from the Tai'an detachment and went to Jinan.
After seeing a doctor, the Tai'an detachment reported it to the Security Department after approval. Tang Xiuer and Zhuang Yulian were monitored by the Security Department after arriving in Jinan. After receiving the news that the division commander's plane was ambushed by a Japanese plane, Hu Di and Li Lingfeng rushed to arrest Tang Xiuer, but unfortunately Tang Xiuer had already been killed.
She killed her companion Zhuang Yulian and two security agents and fled. Li Lingfeng tracked her for a day and found no trace. It is estimated that she had escaped back to the Japanese army. According to Li Lingfeng's report, Tang Xiuer should be proficient in Japanese ninjutsu. Please pay attention, commander.
The woman has a slender figure, similar height to Jingjing, has outstanding appearance and superb martial arts skills.
As for Tang Xingying and Ni Hua, Luo Ronghuan said in the telegram that they have returned to normal, and other comrades do not need to worry about it.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin immediately remembered the two female soldiers he met when buying breakfast for Ni Hua that morning. So the one who was slightly shorter must be Zhuang Yulian, and the taller one was naturally Sakura disguised as Tang Xiuer. Unfortunately at that time
I only saw the back, not the face. Outstanding appearance, superb martial arts, good at ninjutsu, and a high-level killer. Interesting!
Liu Yimin immediately called back to Luo Ronghuan and ordered Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng to command the special operations brigade. The sniper brigade quickly launched operations to carry out special guerrilla warfare and disrupt the Japanese army's deployment. The main force of the Eighth Brigade was quickly retreated in covert manner, maintaining a distance of one day's journey from the Fifth Division of Qingdao.
. Leave some troops to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in Qingdao, and cooperate with and cover the special forces remaining near Qingdao to carry out special guerrilla warfare. It must be combined with mine warfare and tunnel warfare so that the small troops of the Fifth Division cannot go out of the city at will to conduct reconnaissance and attacks. Force the Fifth Division
The division carried out a large-scale attack and retaliation against our army to facilitate our army's search for fighter planes. The main force of our army is still waiting in hiding near Jinan for the time being.
After sending the telegram, Comrade Chen Yun came to see Liu Yimin, and the two of them set up a dragon gate formation. They began to talk about the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which has not yet ended, until Li Hongjun came to urge him to take a break.
We have to go on a journey tomorrow, so the two of us went to bed to rest.
At seven o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Yimin and Chen Yun left Yichuan and headed for Xi'an with their security forces.
They rested every 30 miles on the way to replenish their power. They rushed to Baishui to rest for the night. At 6 pm on November 23, Liu Yimin and his party finally arrived at Huaqing Pool.
Since the instructor went north on November 6 last year, Liu Yimin has not been back to Xi'an for a year, let alone met the chairman and others.
Perhaps because he was thinking about meeting his respected chiefs soon, Liu Yimin suddenly felt more timid about being close to home, and involuntarily slowed down his speed. Chen Yun laughed at him, saying that he was still young and saw
The door to the house was filled with excitement.
Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and others had already known that Liu Yimin was about to arrive and had already greeted him outside the street of Huaqing Pool. They were quietly watching Liu Yimin and his entourage approaching from afar in the dusk.
At six o'clock, it was already dark, but not completely dark.
In fact, Mao Zedong and others were also very excited. Think about it, since Liu Yimin joined the Red Army, how many surprises he has brought to people! The reason why the Communist Party has a base area in Shaanxi Province, and recuperates and immerses itself in development here, without Liu Yimin
No? If nothing else, just look at the contribution of oil fields, coal mines, and gold mines to Shaanxi's economy, and you will know Liu Yimin's important role. As for the numerous military exploits Liu Yimin has made since he led his instructors to the north to fight against Japan, it goes without saying.
The whole world is watching! As Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan were successively captured, the reputation of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army had already flown out of Shaanxi and North China, spreading to every righteous person who loves China, cares about, and supports China's war of resistance.
In my heart, no one dares to say that the Communist Party is a communist bandit and the Red Army is a red bandit.
Chen Yun saw that Liu Yimin was in an excited mood and had no idea where his mind was flying, so he reminded: "Comrade Liu Yimin, Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and comrades all came out to greet us!"
Only then did Liu Yimin wake up, glanced at the torches lighting up at the entrance of Huaqingchi Town in the distance, took a breath, shouted "Drive!" and rode up to meet them.
Seeing that there was only 100 meters away, Liu Yimin dismounted, straightened his military uniform, and walked up with standard steps. Only when he reached the leaders did Liu Yimin raise his hand in salute and loudly reported: "Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief
, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Chief of General Staff, heads: Secretary of the Shandong Bureau of the Communist Party of China, Commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and Commander of the 18th Group Army Teaching Division Liu Yimin are ordered to report, please give instructions!"
Before the voice even landed, Mao Zedong's thick Hunan accent rang out: "Our hero is back. Comrade Liu Yimin, welcome home!" As he said that, a pair of big hands stretched out and held Liu Yimin's tightly.
hand.
After a while, all the leaders came up and shook hands with Liu Yimin one by one. Liu Yimin was so flustered that he kept saluting and saying hello, and was very busy.
I don’t know who came up with the idea, but several soldiers from the Central Guard Regiment rushed up and lifted Liu Yimin up in one fell swoop.
Mao Zedong laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Let's go back and eat!"
The guardsmen carried Liu Yimin, cheered and followed the leaders as they walked towards Huaqing Pool.
