In the afternoon, the sun shone in from the window and shone on Liu Yimin's resolute face. Shen Zui had an illusion for a moment, feeling that the person standing in front of him was not Liu Yimin, but a shining golden god of war!
Shen Zui shook his head vigorously to clear his mind, and then repeated it loudly. Seeing Liu Yimin nodding in approval, Shen Zui said: "Report to General Liu, and I will send the telegram immediately. However, my duty is to keep the 18th Group Army instructor and The Central Military Commission's communication is smooth, and Chairman Chiang's orders are conveyed to the Eighteenth Army in a timely and accurate manner. Now, the Military Commission has not ordered the communications liaison team stationed in the Eighteenth Army to retreat. If I evacuate without authorization, I will be disobeying the military order and fleeing. I would rather die on the battlefield. I will never be a deserter. Please take back General Liu's order to drive me out, I would rather die than leave!"
Liu Yimin already understood at this time that Chiang Kai-shek did not want our army to dominate Shandong. Taking advantage of his firm attitude of advocating unity to resist Japan, he was practicing Tai Chi with the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and Japan. He expected to use formally appointed commissioners, county magistrates and Those security division commanders, security brigade commanders, guerrilla columns, and detachments came to restrain the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army!
This old Chiang Kai-shek, who was inspired by some high-ranking strategist, actually came up with this method of overcoming strength with softness!
In fact, many people can think of this method, and it is not He Guoguang's patent. Lu Bin, the director of Ludong Xingyuan appointed by Shen Honglie, had already mentioned this method when persuading Li Wenli. The current situation between the enemy and the enemy in Shandong, as long as there is A certain political vision and military literacy would have given Chiang Kai-shek such a prescription.
Liu Yimin is a time traveler, his vision and ambition are far higher than the average military generals of this era. He wholeheartedly wants to avoid civil war, twist China's armed forces into a rope, and win the Anti-Japanese War as soon as possible. Unfortunately, his kind The idea would not work for Chiang Kai-shek. The war of resistance against Japan and the fight to the end turned the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army into a million-strong army. This was definitely not what Chiang Kai-shek was willing to accept.
After Shen Zui finished speaking, he stared at Liu Yimin, waiting for his answer.
Liu Yimin said lightly: "Don't speak so righteously, as if you are the brothers of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army who died at the head of Teng County. I won't accept this! You go, don't let me really send someone to surrender you I'll take your gun and escort you to the Yuxue Zhong Department. It won't look good. Before leaving, I warn you, God is watching what you do, so don't do anything bad! *** People say that the national elites of this era are... There is no end to them. You are a spy action wizard. You should go to Shanghai, Peking, Nanjing and Wuhan. That is your battlefield. I look forward to hearing your legend. There is no use monitoring me. I want to assassinate you. You and I can't do it either. Let's go and don't let me change my mind."
After speaking, Liu Yimin waved his hand and asked Hu Changbao to send Shenzui out.
Shen Zui refused to leave and shouted: "General Liu, you can't do this, you will regret it!"
If Shen Zui didn't shout, Hu Changbao would just ask him to leave. As soon as he shouted, Hu Changbao became angry. He and several soldiers rushed up to him, grabbed Shen Zui and pushed him out of Liu Yimin's headquarters, and sent him to the *** communications liaison office. He organized a group station, disarmed several people, asked them to pack their things, and sent a platoon to escort them to the Sulu Theater Headquarters.
After driving Shen Zui away, Cai Zhong reminded: "The division commander, political commissar, and Chiang Kai-shek are very insidious. Those stragglers have all become regular troops of the Communist Party of China. Our army cannot touch or move. We can only watch them in action." Our military base is causing trouble, and we must find a good solution to this matter."
Luo Ronghuan chuckled: "Can this matter still trouble us?"
Cai Zhong said: "It was originally a very simple matter, but it became complicated in the Shandong war zone. When we were in Jinan, the division commander said that we should resolutely reorganize the wandering armed forces, and deal with the small groups of local armed forces, or accept the reorganization , or send them out of the country as gifts. However, after it has been implemented for so long, there are still so many local armed forces. We are fighting the Japanese on the front line, and they are hiding behind us. This is good, and Chiang Kai-shek suddenly made up the Four security divisions, 34 security brigades and ten guerrilla columns. What does this mean? It shows that our troops are not determined to implement the reorganization of the division headquarters, and they are not quick and bold in their actions. One of the reasons is that Comrades are unwilling to go against the policy of the Anti-Japanese National United Front for fear that we will make mistakes in uniting in the war of resistance. Another reason no one dares to say, and I will say it today, so don’t be angry, Commander, is that the Commander and Chiang Kai-shek are now relatives by marriage, and Ni Hua is very fond of me. The army has made outstanding contributions. This has made the comrades have concerns and they are full of worries when taking action. On the contrary, the local armed forces in the *** have illusions and dare to establish small base areas within our army base areas. If the central government now decides to transfer the instructors and The 115th Division, the independent division, changed defenses. I can say with certainty that Zhang Liyuan, Zhang Jingyue, and Zhang Tianzuo would have fled to the Dabie Mountains long ago. If they had not fled, they would have been sent to our study class to reform their minds. Think about it. When we were reorganizing Ji Zhong in Nangong, the actions of the motley armed forces in southern Hebei were lightning-fast. They couldn't help it, and they all accepted the reorganization obediently. After entering Shandong, they became timid. How can this be done?"
When the instructors withdrew from Tianjin to Nangong to hide and wait, the Japanese army encircled Jizhong with an iron wall to pursue the instructors. While the instructors rescued the Hebei guerrillas and the Hebei People's Army in central Hebei, they also sent those guerrillas who had broken through with our army to the enemy. The miscellaneous armed forces were reorganized. Now, these troops have become part of the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
The Nangong reorganization now seems to have sequelae. Zhao Yunxiang, Duan Haizhou, and Qiao Mingli's troops were reorganized by the Eighth Route Army, but all three have now separated from the Eighth Route Army. Among them, Qiao Mingli abandoned the Hebei People's Army belonging to Zhang Yinwu, and Zhao Yunxiang pulled up the team. Later, he got in touch with Sun Liangcheng and became a subordinate of Sun Liangcheng, the polished commander. Duan Haizhou was the strangest thing. He became the brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army because he was once a student of Shiyoushan. He actually took sick leave and left the army operating in northern Henan to return. He recuperated in Jizhong. Later he went to Jidong and raised a team, which was organized into a regiment of Shiyoushan 39th Group Army.
Liu Yimin didn't like to hear Cai Zhong's words because they were not objective. When the Eighth Route Army marched eastward into Shandong, the local armed forces in Shandong were basically all organized, and they already had *** numbers. Together with Zhao Yunxiang, Duan Haizhou, and Qiao Ming Li, the situation of Fan Zixia's troops is different. The Eighth Route Army can't attack the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines, right? What's the point of that?
Seeing that Liu Yimin didn't speak, Cai Zhong knew that what he said was too serious, so he said again: "Commander, maybe what I said is not completely right. The situation in Shandong is special. The Japanese army's heavy military groups have been chasing us behind us several times. I It is also difficult for the army to reorganize the local armed forces of ***. This is also a fact. In consolidated base areas such as southeastern Shandong, Taiyi central base, and western Shandong, this problem does not exist now. "
Liu Yimin then said: "It's not that what you said is not completely right, but it is completely wrong. What does this have to do with Ni Hua? Why do you blame Ni Hua whenever there is a problem? Let me reiterate again, Chiang Kai-shek is Chiang Kai-shek, and Ni Hua is Ni Hua Hua, those are two different things! Why is Ni Hua running around in the United States while pregnant? Isn’t it just to defeat the Japs as soon as possible? You are my comrade, colleague, comrade-in-arms, and elder brother. Do you think that Ni Hua knows this or not?”
Cai Zhong stiffened his neck and said: "I know this truth without you having to say it. It has nothing to do with Ni Hua. However, the objective facts are there. If Ni Hua were not your wife, Chiang Kai-shek could have made the drunk *** Will the communications and liaison team send instructors? If those local armed forces had not known that your wife was Soong Meiling's cousin, would they have dared to set up a small base in our base area? Don't deny that Chiang Kai-shek did this He is trying to use this relationship to make a fuss. What he wants is to let these local armed forces have the public designation granted by the Military Commission to develop their strength and constrain our army. Let us be limited to unity in the fight against Japan and the kinship between you and him. We cannot take action against these local armed forces, so that they can grow stronger and compete with our army for control of Shandong."
What Cai Zhong said this time is absolutely right. Liu Yimin thinks so too, and I'm afraid Luo Ronghuan thinks so too. Chairman, boss, they are so wise, they will definitely think so too.
Luo Ronghuan watched Cai Zhong and Liu Yimin bickering without saying a word. He just waved to the guards to pour water and bring cigarettes and matches.
Liu Yimin took a sip of water, lit another cigarette, took a nice puff, and then said: "You are right this time. Although Ni Hua has nothing to do with this matter, it is easy for others to have incorrect ideas. However, The fundamental reason why there are still so many *** local armed forces in Shandong is that the war of resistance requires the entire nation to unite and target the outside world with the same gun. As long as these *** local armed forces persist in the war of resistance, they are friendly forces. Our army will never be the first to do so. Shooting at them! This is a matter of principle, no one can violate it! A civil war will only make the little devils happy. Chiang Kai-shek is confused, and we cannot follow him."
Cai Zhong then asked: "What if these local armed forces attack our local armed forces?"
Luo Ronghuan then said: "The rain is about to come! Recently, there have been several frictions between the troops in southern Hebei and central Hebei and the Hebei-Cha war zone and our army. Yan Xishan in Shanxi is also restless and ready to make a move. Northern Jiangsu It’s not peaceful either. Han Deqin is very restless. The New Third Brigade, the New Seventh Brigade, the Northeast Anhui Guard Brigade, Peng Xuefeng’s Department, and the four detachments of the New Fourth Army are all facing the problem of anti-friction struggle. We have to prepare for a rainy day!”
Liu Yimin took a long puff of cigarette: "Still the same two sentences, those who cause friction will die! I will not attack others unless they attack me, and I will attack them if they attack me! As long as they dare to fire the first shot, our army will concentrate all its efforts to kill Shandong's All local armed forces in *** will be disarmed, reorganized, and incorporated into our army, so that those die-hards will know that the consequences of engaging in friction will be death!"
When Luo Ronghuan heard this, he said: "Director Cai, report the details of Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to the central government and the headquarters, and report our army's determination to deal with it. Inform the base areas and brigades of the No. 1 commander's determination, asking them to be more vigilant and guard against attacks.
Armed forces create sudden troubles."
Cai Zhong promised to draft a telegram.
Liu Yimin stopped him and told him to send a report to Yu Xuezhong's department at the same time, asking Yu Xuezhong to urge the 51st Army, the 57th Army, the New Fourth Division, and Zhang Liyuan's Department to resolutely attack southward tonight. The main force must reach the Taierzhuang line and deploy on the spot.
Defense line: Send Zhang Liyuan's troops and the New Fourth Division to approach the north of Xuzhou, creating a threat to Xuzhou.
Luo Ronghuan reminded: "Chiang Kai-shek just sent a telegram, clearly ordering our army to obey Xuezhong's command. I don't know what Yu Xuezhong is thinking now. Is it appropriate to send this telegram at this time?"
Liu Yimin opened his mouth and said something rude: "Chiang Kai-shek is farting! Our army is an army of the Communist Party and only obeys the command of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. Not to mention Yu Xuezhong, Chiang Kai-shek would never even think of pointing fingers at our army. If the little devils hadn't invaded China,
, I might have led the troops to fight in Nanjing or Shanghai at this time! It doesn’t matter, Yu Xuezhong is an old-school soldier, and he understands it in his heart, and he will not get excited."
When Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong heard this, they burst out laughing, saying that the words of the division commander sounded powerful, a bit like the heroic spirit when Hu Zongnan's first division was wiped out!
When Liu and Luo received the telegram, Yu Xuezhong was still in Feixian County. However, the leading troops of the 51st Army and the 57th Army had already set off yesterday night and advanced towards the Taierzhuang front line.
The reason why Yu Xuezhong and the 51st Army and the 57th Army remained in Fei County was because the troops had suffered too much and needed to be reorganized.
Historically, when Yu Xuezhong led his troops into Shandong, although they were called two armies, there were actually only 20,000 people. Now it is different from history. Because the Eighth Route Army fought consecutive battles in Shandong, northern Jiangsu, and northeastern Anhui, Yu Xuezhong's troops
The losses were not as great as in history. When they entered Shandong, there were still 40,000 troops. After successive fierce battles with the Japanese army, after excluding those who died, were injured, died of illness, and deserted, there are still about 25,000 troops, which is more than in history.
When we entered Shandong, there were 5,000 more people.
The Military Commission's telegram was an instruction telegram for the Shandong battlefield. When Liu Yimin received it, Yu Xuezhong's Sulu Theater Headquarters naturally also received it. After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Wang Jingxuan happily congratulated Yu Xuezhong, saying that it was
This is the commander-in-chief worthy of the name. Even Liu Yimin has to obey the commander-in-chief's command. Now, if the Japanese army dares to attack the troops in the theater, they can directly order the Eighth Route Army instructors to cooperate in the battle. If that doesn't work, let Liu Yimin deploy two artillery pieces.
The regiment is under theater command to strengthen the firepower of the 51st Army and the 57th Army.
Zhou Fu, director of the theater political department, proposed that since the Military Commission ordered the Eighth Route Army instructor division to belong to the Sulu theater sequence and obey the command of the commander-in-chief, Liu Yimin should be asked to report the numbers, strength, and commander information of the instructor division's units and local armed forces for the convenience of the war zone.
At the same time, in the name of the Shandong Provincial Government, the illegal political organizations run by the Eighth Route Army should be openly banned, and the commissioners and county magistrates appointed by the central government should take office as soon as possible and perform their duties.
Yu Xuezhong was dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't understand whether Zhou Fu and Wang Jingxuan, two generals from Huangpu, had their brains kicked by donkeys. They were so whimsical!
