The regular army commanded by the Shandong Military Region includes eight teaching brigades, eight newly formed brigades, and three detachments.
Ten garrison brigades, including the New Third Brigade, the New Seventh Brigade and the Northern Jiangsu Detachment, remained in the Jiangsu and Anhui areas and belonged to Liu Shaoqi,[]
Commanded by Chen Yi, the newly formed Lunan Garrison Brigade is a newly formed unit with a much lower combat effectiveness. It cannot be used as a regular army for the time being and is irrelevant. In this case, Shandong's main force also has eight teaching brigades and six newly formed brigades.
, two detachments, nine security brigades, plus the artillery brigades directly under the military region and other units, the total strength is a full 300,000 people. The troops participating in the attack on Shimen only accounted for about one-third of the total strength.
The two bosses were shocked.
After Mr. Peng finished his sigh, Mr. Zhu pondered for a while and said to Liu Yimin: "If the Japanese army does not have the superiority in sea and air, and our army has sufficient ammunition, the Japs are no match for us."
What Mr. Zhu said makes sense. The problem is that the Japanese army's naval and air superiority exists objectively and cannot be assumed to exist. Our army's ammunition production is intermittent and the supply cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of our army's various units is also uneven.
Among the eight teaching brigades, the combat effectiveness is also divided into three, six and nine levels.
Liu Yimin explained these principles for a while, and then said: "Two bosses, we can't get carried away as soon as the military parade is over. In a positional offensive and defensive battle without any tricks, regardless of our concentrated artillery fire, we also ignore the Japanese navy and air force.
Not to mention the advantages, in the situation of one to one strength, when facing the Japanese permanent division, our army in Shandong can only tie with the Japanese army because of its certain armor strength. If it encounters the Japanese permanent division,
The Second Division and the Fifth Division,
The four units of the Guards Division and the Sixth Division, in a one-to-one offensive and defensive battle, may not even be able to compete with the Japanese army. As for our army's new brigade, the garrison brigade and the Tai'an detachment, Taixi
At present, when a detachment encounters a Japanese permanent division, it can only retreat when the forces are equal. It is the Japanese garrison division. After being tempered on the battlefield, its combat effectiveness and equipment have been improved. Under the same conditions of equal strength, our
The security brigades, newly formed brigades, and detachments are no match for the Japanese army.
Coupled with the Japanese air superiority, the problem becomes even more serious. What is particularly noteworthy is that our army in Shandong has always paid attention to maintaining its main combat force. When the regimental and battalion company cadres of the 1st Xiangjiao Regiment were organized into the Seventh Red Army, they were already regimental and battalion cadres.
Company cadres, still are. If we fight head-on with the Japanese army and wipe out all the main forces, then we will lose all our capital. Please be sure that the two bosses are clear about this, and they cannot see our artillery brigade and armored regiment.
, thinking that we can defeat the Japanese army now. Even our armored regiment relies on capturing the Japanese army. There are no spare parts, and if one is broken, there will be one missing. It is incomparable with the Japanese army."
The reason why Liu Yimin said so much was because he knew that Mr. Peng was always a fierce general, and he was afraid that after reviewing the troops, Mr. Peng's self-confidence would be inflated and he would force him to fight the Japanese army. That would be terrible! In fact, he knew well that if there were no Japanese air
Advantages, all eight teaching brigades of our army in Shandong can compete with the Japanese army, except of course the Japanese mechanized divisions.
Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan agreed with Liu Yimin's point of view and said: "There are also disadvantages in blindly expanding the army, which can easily dilute the main combat effectiveness. When we first entered the anti-Japanese battlefield, our army's Red Army backbones were many and their combat effectiveness was strong. This is the situation in Shanxi now. The troops
Despite the large-scale expansion, the combat effectiveness has actually declined. A regiment or even a brigade cannot attack the positions held by a Japanese brigade.
It’s unimaginable!,”
Mr. Zhu turned to Liu Yimin: ""What suggestions do you have?,"
""Carry out a military-wide grievance movement and carry out a military-wide large-scale training movement.,.
Liu Yimin's eyes sparkled in the dark night.
The complaint campaign is the only way for our army to improve its cohesion and combat effectiveness. As early as the Red Army period, Cai Zhong and Luo Ronghuan had already reported the Seventh Red Army’s complaint campaign to the General Political Department, and the General Political Department also forwarded it. However, according to Liu Yimin
As we know, some troops did not engage in it, and some troops did it but did not persist in it well.
Mr. Zhu explained: "You and Zuo Quan communicate together and come up with a plan.
Including the expansion of our army in Shandong, we will formulate materials and submit them to the central government. This time we will make great efforts to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."
After several people finished talking, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were also leaving. The guard regiment and the military region headquarters had already arrived.
Mr. Zhu took the hands of Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong and said: "Comrade Ronghuan, Comrade Cai Zhong, Commander Liu is leaving two days late. You must lead the team well. If the Japanese army encounters an interception, concentrate your artillery fire and rush forward."
Hit hard, be sure to stick out, and don't cause heavy losses.,.
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong saluted solemnly and reported that they asked the commander-in-chief to rest assured and promise to complete the mission.
Liu Yimin told Luo Ronghuan that the distance from Shimen to Botou Town was nearly 240 kilometers. The night march would take about ten hours by car, 16 hours by cavalry, and 20 hours by rubber-tired carts.
At that time, the infantry was slow, and if the rapid march was made day and night, it would take more than two days. Therefore, it is necessary to make arrangements so that after arriving at the camp tonight, cars, mules, horses and carts will all return to pick up the infantry to speed up the troop transport.
The cavalry brigade will cross Jinpu Road tonight, and tomorrow night, we will teach a brigade,
The artillery brigade, air defense brigade, and radiation brigade must pass through Jinpu Road. Other troops must pass through Jinpu Road at the latest at night. The Sixth Brigade will serve as the rearguard of the entire army. If it is later, the main force of the Japanese army may rush back from southwestern Shandong to block Jinpu Road.
.
Luo Ronghuan asked: "When will the commander meet us?"
Liu Yimin thought for a while and said: "It may take a little longer. You just need to cross the river to the Qinghe area, and I will meet you in the Qinghe area."
When Luo Ronghuan heard this, he knew that Liu Yimin wanted to take risks again, so he directly resisted: "No! The army cannot be without commanders for a day. I will wait for you at the edge of Jilu. I will not cross the river until you can wait!"
Liu Yimin chuckled: "You are the political commissar. In my absence, you are the coach. You have the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. I want to watch the little devils enter Shimen, and I also want to watch them go to save Qingdao in a storm. I will not die."
They don't count. Just leave. Fu Zhuting and Hu Laohu, who passed by earlier, will pick up the main force. Maybe, I will stand by the Yellow River and wait for you!"
Cai Zhong immediately received the message: "I can see what you are thinking at a glance. If you dare to take risks again, I will die to apologize. I am the director of the Political Department, responsible for the discipline of the army. In the end, I will even supervise your implementation of military discipline."
If I can’t even finish it, what use does the Eighth Route Army have for me?”
When Boss Peng saw Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong speaking so seriously, he immediately realized that Liu Yimin might have itchy hands again and wanted to practice alone with the little devil. He stayed in Shimen for a few days and left late mainly because he wanted to show off his strength. He immediately said: ""
Comrade Liu Yimin, you cannot stay at Shimen for a long time. You must leave at night the day after tomorrow at the latest, and you must catch up with the troops. Otherwise, you will be treated as disobeying military orders.,.
Boss Peng's plan to leave the day after tomorrow to catch up with the troops was the result of everyone's discussion. The distance from Shimen to Jinpu Road between Cangxian and Nanpi is nearly 500 miles, and it can be reached in 10 hours by car or motorcycle.
.The Japanese and puppet troops in this area have now retreated to Baoda Road, and our troops in central Hebei can protect them along the way.
Liu Yimin really thought of trying to fish in troubled waters in the middle of a heavy Japanese army group, and would teach him a small lesson.
The Japanese made Luo Ronghuan stir up trouble, which triggered a strict order from Mr. Peng. Liu Yimin had to smile bitterly and said to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong: "I have convinced you two!"
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong happily shook hands with Liu Yimin and said goodbye.
Tang Xingying came up on horseback, came to Liu Yimin, jumped off the horse, straightened Liu Yimin's clothes, and whispered: "Think about the troops, think about the children, don't take risks..."
Liu Yimin nodded, hugged Tang Xingying, looked at each other, and for a moment, gently picked her up and put her on the horse.
This was in front of the Commander-in-Chief. Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying had already divorced. He was too bold to do this!
Tang Xingying clearly felt the burning sensation that suddenly erupted when Liu Yimin hugged her, and her face immediately turned red. Fortunately, it was night, and no matter how bright the searchlight or torch was, no one noticed the blush on the beautiful Tang Xingying's face.
From his joyful voice and the action of holding hands when he first saw him at the headquarters after coming back, to now when he hugged her onto the horse without avoiding suspicion, the damn thing in her lower body suddenly became hard and pressed against her, Tang Xingying felt in her heart
Xueliang, the man is a little... impatient, he wants to eat himself in one bite!
Tang Xingying, who was full of shame, said on the horse, "I'll wait for you."
, he hit the horse and ran away.
Zhao Xiaoman walked up to Liu Yimin, took out two hard-boiled eggs from his bag, stuffed them into Liu Yimin's pocket, and saluted.
After Liu Yimin returned the courtesy, he explained that he was not allowed to leave the security circle of the guard regiment, was not allowed to fall behind, and was not allowed to fall asleep on the horse. After saying the three forbidden words, Zhao Xiaoman burst into tears, and Liu Yimin quickly waved his hand and told her to get on the horse.
Chase the troops.
Looking at Tang Xingying's pretty back, Liu Yimin felt hot in his heart. At his age, his body was much stronger than the average person. He had been a bachelor for such a long time. From the moment he heard Tang Xingying shouting the report, his heart had already been filled with excitement.
The fire was burning. Unfortunately, the enemy situation was urgent, so he had to take precautions and let the large troops go first. The swan that reached his mouth flew away again, and Liu Yimin could only watch Tang Xingying's pretty back in a daze.
Zuo Quan poked him with his hand: "Are you anxious? The bosses are all here watching!"
Liu Yimin finally came to his senses and smiled sheepishly.
Mr. Peng suddenly said: "It's worthless!"
Mr. Zhu corrected him: "Lao Peng, it's not that Liu Yimin has no future, it's that the girl is too beautiful!"
Boss Peng and Zuo Quan laughed.
At this moment, no one was looking into the relationship between Tang Xingying and Liu Yimin. There was just a banter between comrades.
When Liu Yimin accompanied Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo back to the Japanese Shijiazhuang Garrison Headquarters, Commander Chen Zaidao of the Southern Hebei Military Region and Political Commissar Song Renqiong were already very busy.
No wonder Chen Zaidao and Song Ren were very busy. They seized a lot of materials and many troops came to carry the loot. In addition, the front team mobilized from Jinan District made the area around Shimen very lively.
When Liu Yimin saw this situation, he immediately shouted: "Chen Mazi, Lao Song, don't get together. Chen Mazi is responsible for military command, and Lao Song leads the cadres to distribute the spoils and organize factory production. A troop is sent
A liaison group and a working group from each factory will be sent to work separately. It's such a mess, when will the move be completed?,"
When Chen Zaidao heard that Commander Liu would not let him take charge of the spoils, he said to Song Renqiong, "Political Commissar, I'm going to do my work."
, followed Liu Yimin and Mr. Zhu into the war room.
The war room was the war room of the Japanese Shijiazhuang garrison. A map of the distribution of Japanese troops in the Shimen area was hung on the wall. However, this map was no longer useful at this time, because apart from those who were killed, all the Japanese soldiers had escaped alive.
In front of the two bosses, Liu Yimin asked: "Chen Mazi, how have you completed the tasks assigned to you?"
Chen Zaidao stood at attention with a snap: "Report to Commander Liu, follow your instructions. I have contacted Commander Lu and Political Commissar Meng in Jizhong. Yizhong and Yinnan will strictly fortify the walls and clear the fields. Martial law will be implemented on both sides of the highway to ensure the main movement
Confidential.,”
Liu Yimin nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the map and said: "The Yinnan Army has three things to do next. The first is to conduct multiple batches of armed reconnaissance to Yuanshi County and the Dasha River line. Remember, it is armed reconnaissance, not to let you
Go and fight. You don't have the firepower of Shandong's main force, and you will be trapped in a fight. But you can set up an ambush circle behind the reconnaissance troops. If the Japanese dare to pursue them, concentrate your firepower and teach them a lesson, and put on a confident posture. The second is
Closely monitor the movements of the heavy Japanese army and carry out harassment operations against the heavy Japanese army, making them believe that the main force of our army is still in the Shimen area, so they rush towards Shimen desperately. The third is to withdraw from Shimen and go to the tunnel before the Japanese army encircles them. I told them
You, we can't do anything against the Japs' heavy army group, but the heavy army group cannot always stay here. We need to give the Japs an illusion, making them think that southern Hebei has been completely occupied by them, leaving only a small garrison.
Once the heavy Japanese army group is withdrawn, the Japanese garrison will be food in our bowls. We can eat it whenever and however we want. Do you understand?,.
Chen said again, "Pa,."
He saluted: "Resolutely carry out the order!"
Liu Yimin nodded and said: "Your headquarters is located here. Pay attention to maintaining contact with Chen Shiqu in Southwest Shandong, Xu Shiyou, Zeng Chunjian in Western Shandong, and Wang Bingsan between Western Shandong and Southwest Shandong. Report any major enemy situations immediately.
,.
Chen Zaidao saluted again: "Yes!,"
After making arrangements, Liu Yimin asked Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng to take a rest. He and Zuo Quan went to Liu Yimin's office and bedroom, sat across from each other at the table, and began to study and draft a proposal on comprehensively implementing the grievance movement and carrying out large-scale military training activities in the entire army.
Report.
Zuo Quan is a military strategist with both theoretical training and practical experience in our army. At this time, he was not only the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, but also the commander of the second column of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention Liu Yimin, that was also a hundred battles of our army.
Famous generals, if two people sit together to study this report, they will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
It didn't take much time to build the skeleton of this report. Liu Yimin and Zuo Quan worked hard to draft two reports separately.
This writing was completed in one go, and by 2 o'clock in the night, both of them had basically finished writing.
We looked at each other, made suggestions, and revised and polished it until three o'clock in the night.
It took two people to write the report.
At this time, Shimen City and outside the city were in full swing. There were various flour mills and cotton ginning factories in the city.
Garment shops are all gearing up to produce. The Eighth Route Army paid for the purchases, and the prices were fair. The businessmen were naturally happy and laughing. Outside the city, planes fell one after another at Daguozhuang Airport. After being loaded with ammunition and fuel, another one
The racks soared into the sky and flew towards Shaanxi: groups of Eighth Route Army, militiamen,
The front team drove large carts, pushed small carts, carried burdens, carried bags of rice and flour, held torches, and marched towards their respective goals with joy.
Liu Yimin and Zuo Quan did not need to worry about these. Song Renqiong, secretary of the Party Committee of Jinan District and political commissar of the military region, led the cadres to follow Liu Yimin's instructions and divided them into working groups to organize the troops to transport materials in an orderly manner.
After Liu Yimin finished writing, he stood up, stretched out, and said to Zuo Quan: "Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, take the time to get some sleep. Today, the little Japanese plane didn't come to cause trouble. He was probably busy guarding against our plane."
It’s a sneak attack. There won’t be such a good thing tomorrow. The little devil will definitely send out a fleet of aircraft to retaliate. You have to rest quickly and recuperate so that you can deal with the little devil Mou’s aerial revenge tomorrow.”
Zuo Quan said: "Don't call me Zuo Deputy Chief of Staff. Call me Lao Zuo or Comrade Zuo Quan. You are a member of the Central Committee and have a higher position than me. You don't need to be polite to me."
Liu Yimin had not had much contact with Zuo Quan before, and had never worked together again. His understanding of Zuo Quan mainly relied on introductions from later generations. Therefore, he was very polite and respectful to Zuo Quan. This time, Zuo Quan asked him to call him Lao Zuo.
Liu Yimin immediately became happy and opened his mouth and said: "Okay, I will call you Lao Zuo, and you will call me Lao Liu."
Zuo Quan shook his head: "You can't afford to be an old man. You're too young. It's not enough to call you Xiao Liu."
Zuo Quan was born in 1905. After traveling through time, Liu Yimin wrote a resume and set his birthday in 1913.
On October 1, 2018, the two people were 8 years apart.
When Liu Yimin heard this, he said: "You are only a few years older than me. Why do you have to call me Xiao Liu when I call you Lao Zuo? To be fair and unfair, if you don't call me Lao Liu, I won't call you Lao Liu either."
Left.,"
Zuo Quan chuckled: "You guy, you only take advantage and don't suffer any losses. Is this matter worth fighting with me? Okay, I'll call you Lao Liu. Lao Liu, why don't you go to bed?"
This room was originally the residence of Major General Ogurihara, the commander of the Japanese Shijiazhuang garrison. It was decorated in Japanese style, with no beds and only tatami mats. The two of them each pulled out a quilt, took off their coats, and got into their respective beds.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Liu Yimin thought of Tang Xingying. Since the two bosses were here, Liu Yimin didn't have time to talk to her in detail. He didn't know if their trip to the Soviet Union had any encouraging results.
.From Tang Xingying, I thought of her two sons and Ni Hua who was far away in Chongqing, and I couldn't sleep anymore.
