Pingyiji is located in the northwest of Feixian County. It was named after it was the fiefdom of Ji Pingzi, the chief minister of Lu State, during the Spring and Autumn Period.
At this time, although Pingyiji, together with Zhongcun, Liangqiu and Shangye, was known as the four major towns in Feixian County, it was only a rural market town with only two streets and three lanes in total, and 90% of the houses were thatched houses.
It is surrounded by polder walls.
The Japanese and puppet troops re-established their stronghold in Pingyi after they swept away Yu Xuezhong's troops and rushed to the east bank of the Qi River. This time, after the Eighth Route Army eliminated the main force of the 10th Division in Feixian County, Pingyi gathered
The Japanese and puppet troops fled hastily with the Japanese troops stationed in Surabaya. As a result, they fled to Ciyao and were annihilated by the Eighth Route Army. Because the Japanese and puppet troops believed that they could still return, they did not destroy the newly built stronghold. Liu, Luo, and Cai happened to kill the Japanese and puppet troops.
The army's stronghold was used as a temporary headquarters.
Cai Zhong had to rush to the county seat of Feixian County overnight. Time was tight. Liu Yimin seized the time and explained in detail his ideas on the zoning adjustment in southern Shandong and solicited the opinions of Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong.
Liu Yimin's idea is not complicated. It mainly focuses on adjusting the administrative divisions of southern Shandong based on the actual situation in the Shandong base area.
According to Liu Yimin's ideas, the southern Shandong area is divided into four special areas: Linyi Area, Zaozhuang Area, Jining Area, and Huxi Area.
Among them, Pingyiji in the northwest of Feixian County was demarcated to establish Pingyi County; Cangshan County was established based on the border offices of the four counties of Linyi, Tancheng, Feixian, and Yixian to commemorate the Cangshan riot; in Feixian,
Shuangshan County was established in the border areas of Teng County and Yixian County; Yunhe County was established with Taierzhuang as the center; based on the Nansi Lake areas such as Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Dushan Lake, and Nanyang Lake, the pure fishing in the lake and the lakeside
The semi-fishing and semi-agricultural area was included and Weishan County was established.
Pingyi County and Cangshan County are under the leadership of Lunan Prefecture and Lunan Military Region; Shuangshan County, Yunhe County, and Weishan County are under the leadership of Zaozhuang Prefecture and Zaozhuang Military Region.
The planned Zaozhuang Special District shall govern Zaozhuang City, Yi County, Teng County, Lincheng County, Yunhe County, Shuangshan County, and Weishan County; the planned Jining Special District shall govern Jining County, Yanzhou County (Ziyang County), Wen
Shang County, Qufu County, Sishui County, Zouxian, Liangshan County, and Jiaxiang County; the Huxi Special Region planned to be established will uniformly lead the anti-Japanese struggle in Tongshan, Peixian, Xiaoxian, Fengxian, Dangshan, Jinxiang, Yutai and other Huxi areas.
As for the leaders of the three newly established districts, Liu Yimin proposed several candidates and asked Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong to discuss them. Jining District and Jining Military Region were combined with the New 1st Brigade. Cheng Cuilin was appointed as the district party committee secretary, military district political commissar, and training commander.
Xu Guangda, the commander of the military region, was transferred to the commander of the military region, and Lin Bo, the deputy commander of the logistics command, was appointed as the director of the administration; Zaozhuang District and Zaozhuang Military Region were combined with the New Fourth Brigade, Zhu Rui was appointed as the *** of the district party committee, the political commissar of the military region, and the chief of staff of the first teaching brigade Zhou Yi was transferred
Zhong Xiaopei, Commander of the Military Region and Director of Propaganda of the Shandong Bureau, was transferred to the post of Administrative Commissioner; in Huxi District, Zhao Jie was appointed as the District Party Committee Secretary, Political Commissar of the Military Region and Chief of Staff of the 5th Education Brigade; Zhang Yicheng was appointed as the Commander of the Military Region, and the "Huxi People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Team 2nd
Li Zhenqian, the captain of the Corps, serves as the director of the administration.
After hearing this, Luo Ronghuan thought about it for a while and said: "The original plan was to set up the Sulu-Henan-Anhui Border Region, which would be concurrently run by the Cavalry Brigade, which could take advantage of the Cavalry Brigade's advantage in plain operations. Now this adjustment is equivalent to canceling the original Sulu-Henan-Anhui Border Region, and the new Eighth Brigade will serve concurrently.
Military region. Will comrades be allowed to have opinions?"
Liu Yimin replied: "The cavalry brigade is one of our army's fast mobile forces and must be organized into field corps for combat. The original consideration was to quickly stabilize the situation in Shandong, and each brigade divided defense areas. Now the situation has changed, and our army has controlled Shandong.
In some areas, the base area has been greatly expanded, the troops have also been greatly expanded, and the options are wide. In the future, several main brigades will be separated from the military region sequence, and each security brigade will serve as a military region. This is the new first brigade and the new fourth brigade.
, the Jining District, Zaozhuang District, and Huxi District that were combined by the New Eighth Brigade were also temporary. When they developed and strengthened the local political power and local armed forces, they built the Jining Guard Brigade, Zaozhuang Guard Brigade, and Huxi Guard Brigade, and the New First Brigade
, the New Fourth Brigade and the New Eighth Brigade will return to the main field formation."
Luo Ronghuan added: "I have no objection to other leadership configurations. Zhu Rui seems not suitable to be in charge of the political party. It is better to exchange him with the artillery brigade commander Li Chang, with Zhu Rui as the artillery brigade commander and Li Changlai as the Zaozhuang District Party Committee
***, Political Commissar of the Military Region, Political Commissar of the New Fourth Brigade.”
Liu Yimin was stunned and asked: "Why do you have such an idea?"
Luo Ronghuan said: "It stands to reason that Zhu Rui has very senior qualifications and high tactical literacy. He has also demonstrated military talent in commanding the New Fourth Brigade. But my observation is that this person seems to have a common problem among students who have returned from Moscow. You let him unify
I don't think it's appropriate to command the New 1st Brigade, the New 4th Brigade, and the New 8th Brigade to run the Lunan Plain, because I'm afraid he won't be handsome. He is an artillery expert, so it's better to swap him with Li Chang. Don't look at Li Chang and laugh.
There are a lot of clever ideas and a lot of pragmatism. The Zaozhuang area will still be an area that the Japanese army vows to occupy in the future, and the struggle between us and the enemy will be particularly cruel. Once the New Fourth Brigade is transferred away in a big battle, Zhu Rui will not be as patient as Li Chang."
Liu Yimin suddenly thought of the historical past when Zhu Rui was the Chairman of the Shandong Branch and criticized the 115th Division at the Taoyu Conference, leading Luo Ronghuan to send a telegram to the Chairman asking to resign and return to Yan'an to study. The final result was that the Chairman sent
Liu Shaoqi came to Shandong for investigation. The central government was determined to unify the leadership of the party, government and military in Shandong. The chairman chose Luo Ronghuan, Zhu Rui, Guo Hongtao, and the acting commander of the 115th Division Chen Guang and others sadly left. From then on, their status within the party and the military plummeted. If
Without the dispute at the Taoyu Conference and the subsequent passive situation caused by inconsistent command, Zhu Rui and Chen Guang might not have ended up like that.
Liu Yimin's understanding of Zhu Rui was different from that of Luo Ronghuan. It had been two years since he had been working as a clerk, and Zhu Rui had become a life-and-death comrade. Maybe it was because he no longer had the authority of the top leader like the Shandong Branch Chief in history. Liu Yimin knew Zhu Rui.
Rui is an all-rounder, both civil and military, and works conscientiously and meticulously. He is one of the rare backbone leaders in Shandong's party, government, and military.
Liu Yimin speculated that Luo Ronghuan and Zhu Rui must have had a bad impression of each other when they were in the Soviet area. This is why historically the 115th Division criticized the work of the troops when they first arrived at the Shandong Bureau in the Lunan Mountains.
There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things!
Liu Yimin then thought about it, how could Luo Ronghuan be entangled in old historical accounts if he was so ambitious? He probably really had opinions on Zhu Rui's work and abilities. It seemed that he had to find time to have a good talk with the political commissar Zhu Rui separately.
This is not possible for the time being. Let the assistants build the team. The first and second-in-commands must be unified in their thinking. If there are differences, they need to be carefully analyzed and discussed. Liu Yimin is the first-in-command and Luo Ronghuan is the second-in-command. They have come together from the Long March to today.
His life and death comrades, Liu BuLi and Luo, Luo BuLi and Liu. Luo Ronghuan’s opinions must be respected by Liu Yimin!
Cai Zhong met the division commander and the political commissar had different opinions, and proposed that these three districts should not be established for the time being. The Japanese troops were pressing heavily on the border, and the war was imminent. The top priority was to consider how to deal with the next war. The new first brigade, the new fourth brigade, and the new eighth brigade were also temporarily closed.
It is not suitable to divide the troops. Concentrating the troops and concentrating the firepower to fight the war of annihilation is the magic weapon of our army. Once the troops are divided, the strength will be dispersed, which is a taboo for military strategists. For the time being, these three regions can be divided into the Western Tai District, the Southern Shandong District, and the Southwest Shandong District.
The decision will be made after this battle is fought and the situation changes. As for the newly established counties, they can be established immediately. The Shandong Bureau Organization Department will select from the Taiyi Central Base Area, Tai'an Detachment, Shandong Special District, Shandong Special District and other places in these areas.
It is enough to select cadres from the political power to form the political power and lead the guerrilla armed forces in these places.
Cai Zhong's suggestion can be regarded as a solution. Liu Yimin has also considered this method, but Liu Yimin wants to seize the opportunity to lay a more solid foundation for the base area before the Japanese army launches a large-scale attack.
Liu Yimin pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Political Commissar, what do you think?"
We are all old comrades-in-arms, and we are all here for work. We have no grudges in our hearts and can easily talk about anything.
Luo Ronghuan said: "Sir, I understand how you feel. I can't wait for the Japs to come. Our base area will be networked with minefields everywhere, making it difficult for the Japs to move. However, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient, Lao Cai
You are right. Our main tasks now are to consolidate the base area and to deal with the heavy raids by the Japanese army. For the time being, the Taixi Special District is also in charge of the Jining area, the Lunan Special District is also in charge of the Zaozhuang area, and the Southwest Shandong District is also in charge of the Huxi area. Let the cavalry
The new brigades, the new 1st brigade, the new 4th brigade, and the new 8th brigade will use regiments and battalions as units to form political power and local armed forces in each county. There is not much time left for us, and the little devils should soon mobilize forces to counterattack. At this time, we will
Dividing our forces is not the best strategy."
After talking for a long time, the matter has been discussed but has not been decided. Liu Yimin secretly reviewed in his heart and felt that he was indeed too impatient. The main force of the instructors was already too scattered, which was a taboo for military strategists. If he divided his troops further, it would be adding mistakes to mistakes.
.
The second issue to be discussed is the experience generated by the Linyi Defense War, which Liu Yimin called the Linyi model.
The result of this Linyi defense battle was beyond the expectations of Liu, Luo and Cai. Of course, Wang Jiwen played a role in turning things around. Without him, Linyi City would definitely not be able to defend it. It would really be possible for Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen to occupy it.
If Linyi City is defeated, it will have to fight a tough battle. By then, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will definitely be quarreling. In addition to Wang Jiwen's personal role, he dared to mobilize teachers and students in schools and trained reserve personnel among the people to organize city defense troops.
It should be said that it is a miracle to hold the city wall.
Liu Yimin proposed that Linyi city defenders should be organized into Linyi militia brigades to strengthen training in peacetime and go to the battlefield in wartime. Not only can they defend the city, they can also organize people to evacuate. Moreover, it should be promoted in all counties controlled by our army.
This suggestion was unanimously supported by Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong.
Luo Ronghuan also suggested that our army pays too much attention to the standardization of weapons and equipment. The advantage is that the main force has a unified standard, which facilitates the production and supply of ammunition. The disadvantage is that it restricts Shandong civilians from making guns. The restriction is to fight against Japanese soldiers, as long as they can kill the enemy.
Any gun will do for the Japs. All base areas should be encouraged to gather gun-making craftsmen to make guns and ammunition and arm the militia.
Cai Zhong also suggested that equipment, engineers, technicians, technicians, and workers should be transferred from the logistics base arsenal to the base areas to help develop the arsenals in each base area, and strive to achieve self-sufficiency in ammunition for the local armed forces and militia in each base area. Because once the Japanese invaders attack in large numbers
In a counterattack, our army will most likely have to abandon its lines of communication and the base area will be divided again by the Japanese and puppet troops. As time goes by, without the base area of the arsenal, survival will become more and more difficult.
The three people discussed endlessly. Zhao Xiaoman, who was accompanying the division, went to boil hot water and came in to pour water for the leaders.
Liu Yimin saw that Zhao Xiaoman seemed to have just washed her face, and knew that she might not dare to rest because she was afraid that something would happen to the leaders, so he asked her to rest. If something happened, Hu Changbao and the others would take care of it.
Zhao Xiaoman's eyes were bright and she whispered that she was not tired and could keep working.
After saying that, Zhao Xiaoman couldn't help but raise his hand to dust off Liu Yimin's military uniform and dust from the march, which made Liu Yimin blush and neck thick, and he was at a loss at that time.
Cai Zhong didn't seem to see the embarrassment on Liu Yimin's face, and said from the side: "Comrade Zhao Xiaoman, the chairman praised you as a lark in the Red Army. The soldiers also said that our commander Zhao, Chairman Zhao, is a lark in the army. A comrade told
I, when he was recuperating in the hospital, his wound hurt. After listening to your song, I felt that the pain was not so bad. It seems that you need to go to the art troupe and the army more and perform more for our soldiers. Soldier
We are looking forward to you so much that there are stars in our eyes."
Zhao Xiaoman patted the dust off Liu Yimin's military uniform, and then said: "Report to Director Cai, I will do as you say, lead the art troupe to rehearse more programs, and perform more military performances."
Cai Zhong happily said that he wanted it, and then told Zhao Xiaoman to pay more attention to the life of the division commander in his free time, and help him wash clothes and so on. The guards and soldiers were all young men with rough hands and feet.
Live carelessly.
Liu Yimin is no longer the ignorant young man he was when he first met Tang Xingying on the Miaoling Road on a snowy night when he first time travelled. He is now a divorced and married man with two sons. Under normal circumstances, his face is thicker than a city wall! But
In front of Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, Zhao Xiaoman couldn't help but reveal his true feelings and slapped him on his body, which made him blush and coyly let Zhao Xiaoman slap him.
It seems that Luo Ronghuan did not see Zhao Xiaoman's affectionate behavior towards Liu Yimin because the light of the lantern in the house was not bright enough. After Zhao Xiaoman went out, Luo Ronghuan said that the Lunan Plain area has been a Japanese-occupied area since the fall of the Lunan Plain.
Our army has a weak foundation here. The focus of the work in the Lunan Plain area is to publicize and mobilize the masses to resist Japan. As long as the masses are mobilized, even if the little devils occupy it again, it will not be possible to return to the original level of rule.
Liu Yimin's expression finally returned to normal. He did not answer Luo Ronghuan's words. He glared at Cai Zhong fiercely and scolded in a low voice: "Stop talking nonsense and doing stupid things in the future. If you dare to add fuel to the fire again, be careful to violate discipline."
Be punished."
Cai Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with me? It's your and the political commissar's decision to let Zhao Xiaoman go with the division. Chairman and the others have already agreed. If you want to be punished, it's also you and the political commissar who will be punished. It's not my turn!"
Liu Yimin ignored him and continued what Luo Ronghuan said: "The first is to carry out propaganda and mobilization, and the second is to carry out military training. If you don't know how to shoot, throw grenades, or lay mines, you will only die if you encounter the vicious Japanese. We want to carry out mass propaganda in the Lunan Plain.
We will conduct sexual military training activities and form militia teams on a large scale. When the little devils come again, haha, I will make them completely plunge into the sea of people's war."
The three of them talked more and more energetically. It was not until Zhang Linfeng came in with a telegram to report that the cavalry brigade had reported victory that Liu Yimin realized that it was already getting dark.
The telegram was jointly sent by Hu Laohu and Bowen. The report stated that the cavalry brigade quickly gathered its troops after receiving the order. The troops from Yixian, Zaozhuang and Tengxian were divided into three groups and rushed to Linyi. When they arrived at the gate of Linyi City, Zhang Liyuan's troops
, the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wu had already fled along the Taiwei Highway towards Taierzhuang, and the main force of the cavalry brigade immediately pursued them in the direction of Taierzhuang. Because there were squads and militia teams from various districts in the Linyi base area to block, harass and intercept the troops along the way, Zhang Liyuan and the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wu were afraid of falling into a heavy siege and marched lightly.
Backpacks were thrown all over the ground. The main force of the cavalry brigade caught up with Zhang Liyuan's troops and Wu Hua's cultural division between Tangtou and Bianzhuang. They immediately launched an attack and launched a political offensive. The enemy collapsed and took advantage of the cover of night to escape southward.
Our cavalry began to exterminate, and found 1,453 corpses on the battlefield, and captured 6,574 people including Lei Fazhang and Ning Chunlin. After checking the prisoners, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen were not found. It was found that among the prisoners were officers and soldiers of the Rong Ziheng Brigade of the 57th Army. Please give instructions to the division commander.
Should the cavalry brigade quickly advance southward and continue to pursue Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen's remaining troops, or should they block and intercept Yu Xuezhong's troops heading south?
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin said: "Okay, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen have lost their money this time. 6574 people have been captured, and they can be organized into the Lunan Security Brigade. Zhang Linfeng, send a report to Hu Laohu, and the cavalry brigade stops pursuing Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen.
The remnants will return to Yixian, Zaozhuang and Tengxian after rest and recuperation, and continue to complete the tasks of establishing local political power and local armed forces. The prisoners will be handed over to the custody of the four-county border liaison offices, and then the fifth education brigade will be responsible for education and transformation. Attacks against the Xuezhong Department are not allowed.
, to ensure their safe evacuation to Taierzhuang."
After Luo Ronghuan read the telegram, he shook his head and said: "The Yuanbu, Wuhua and Wenbu in this picture are too inexperienced. That is 6574 pigs, and it is very troublesome to catch them. It seems that we really overestimated the number of pigs."
Shandong’s local armed forces.”
Liu Yimin smiled and said: "Zhang Liyuan's attack on Linyi itself is unpopular. You must know that many of his troops have been educated by the comrades we sent, and there are two special operations teams supervising them. When the main force of the cavalry brigade comes up,
, machine guns and small artillery fire, the sound of horse hooves, and the soldiers surrendered their guns but refused to kill. It would be strange that the Eighth Route Army’s political offensive of treating prisoners preferentially did not collapse! I estimate that many soldiers who were willing to resist the Japanese surrendered their weapons on their own initiative.”
Cai Zhong rushed to Feixian County in a hurry, because the car was easily spotted by Japanese planes after dawn. Liu Yimin told him that after meeting Wang Jingxuan in Feixian County, he must tell him that as long as he did not dare to harm the unity of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army
As always, we regard the 51st Army and the 57th Army as friendly forces and firmly support Commander-in-Chief Yu Xuezhong and his troops in persisting in the Shandong War of Resistance.
After sending Cai Zhong off, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan began to camp and rest.
