Piao Tianzi    Chapter 1049   Northbound Advance Team (continued)

Since Liu Yimin was determined to send an advance team northward to the Northeast to help the Anti-Japanese Allies Army, he immediately started the action. He found Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, revealed his thoughts, and analyzed the reasons why the main force could not be sent to reinforce the Anti-Japanese Allies.

After hearing this, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong immediately expressed their support. Because they both knew the importance of the Northeast to the Japanese army, and also knew the difficult situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army.

Cai Zhong went to draft a telegram to the Central Committee and the headquarters, elaborated Liu Yimin's idea, and then asked for instructions that in view of the current difficult situation of the Anti-Japanese United Army and the importance of the Northeast to the Japanese army, the Shandong Military Region plans to send an elite special force.

The small troops entered the Northeast by sea, helped the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to persist in the struggle and eased the pressure on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in Changbai Mountain District.

At this time, the Chairman was worried about the difficult situation of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and was preparing to send a call to Nie Rongzhen, ordering the 115th Division to increase its attack on the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, attracting the Kwantung Army to mobilize troops to reinforce, and alleviate the pressure on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Liu and Luo

The telegram was just right, and the Chairman's eyes were immediately attracted to southern Liaoning.

The chairman called back to Liu and Luo, asking the name of the commander of the troops to be dispatched, fighting experience, asking how long the troops can carry ammunition for a long time, asking what kind of ships to cross the sea to the north, asking about the current changes in the wind direction of the Bohai Bay, asking about the landing

Click where to choose, how far away from the starting point, and whether the crossing can be completed overnight.

The Chairman's telegram asked so much, which shows his importance to the sending of special forces from our Shandong army into the Northeast for combat.

Liu Yimin immediately called back to the chairman and reported that he planned to draw three squads from the Second Special War Squadron, two squadrons from the First Sniper, and carry the Second Squadron to support firepower to form a northbound advance team. Zhao Yonggang, the squadron leader of the Second Special War Squadron, was appointed as the Northbound Advance Team.

The captain and political commissar of the task force. Zhao Yonggang was born in the Central Red Army and was recruited into the special forces on the Long March. He has been in full swing in all battles. He has been tested and trained for a long time, is calm and calm, has the ability to command the ** combat, and is at the regiment level.

Then, Liu Yimin reported that he was preparing to call the cargo ship handed over to the US Consul Sokebin in Qingdao to carry the special forces into the Northeast. The landing point was selected at Dahuzui, with a straight-line distance of about 150 kilometers on the sea. According to the Zhenyuan 15.4 savings

The speed of 28.5 kilometers per hour is calculated and can be reached in six hours.

The Chairman called again to ask if he could send a regiment first, and combine it with the Anti-Japanese All-Road Army to establish a consolidated base as the vanguard of our army's future advance northward.

As soon as he saw the telegram, Liu Yimin knew that the chairman was anxious. He probably wanted to send the main force of our Shandong army to advance northward as soon as possible to compete with the Japanese Kwantung Army for the Northeast. He quickly sent a report to the chairman and analyzed the current strength of the Japanese army in the Northeast, which showed that he was not currently marching into the Northeast.

The best time to send a special forces team to ignite fires around the Northeast to reduce the pressure on the Anti-Japanese United Army. If a regiment of combat troops is sent, it is equivalent to sending meat buns to the Kwantung Army, which is absolutely impossible.

The chairman then called back to agree to Liu and Luo's plan and the order was implemented immediately, the faster the better.

After approval, Liu Yimin immediately issued an order to draw three squads of the Second Special War Squadron and support firepower, sniper two squads of the First Squadron and formed a Northward Advance Squadron and appointed Zhao Yonggang as the captain and political commissar of the Northward Advance Squadron and ordered him to return to the Great Daquan immediately.

The store accepts the task.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yimin sent an order to prepare the ship to Zhou Zijian who was in Qingdao.

Zhou Zijian was from Hunan, and was in Jinggangshan during the Autumn Harvest Uprising. He graduated from the Red Army School and was the backbone of the First Army's support for the 18th Red Regiment. When the Eighth Route Army first attacked and occupied Qingdao, Liu Yimin ordered the brigade commander of the 7th Brigade, Chen Dayong, and political commissar Liu Yi to send him

An old Red Army backbone cadre, who represented the Eighth Route Army in management and handed over to the US Consul in Qingdao, Sokebin, to operate and protect the merchant fleet. Chen Dayong and Liu Yi selected Zhou Zijian, who was then the director of the regiment political department.

The Red Army and the Eighth Route Army were a revolutionary university. Especially in the Red Seventh Army and the later adapted teachers, Liu Yimin personally formulated primary and junior high school textbooks, and personally grasped the learning of cadres and soldiers. Especially Japanese and English, which was in Xi'an.

Just focus on the special measures, and a group of cadres with a certain cultural foundation made rapid progress. Zhou Zijian is a language genius, learning Japanese quickly and learning English quickly, becoming a famous cultural teacher in the 7th brigade.

The old Red Army, who knows Japanese and has a certain English foundation, became the first choice for dealing with Sokbin.

Liu Yimin sent Zhou Zijian a telegram to make it clear, so he contacted Sokbin quickly and tried to undertake the freight from Yantai, Longkou to Dalian. It is necessary to mobilize a cargo ship to stand by at the designated location at the designated time and ensure the safety of the cargo ship.

After receiving the telegram, Zhou Zijian immediately went to find Mr. Sokebin.

Sokebin now admires the Eighth Route Army and Liu Yimin very much.

After the Eighth Route Army attacked Qingdao for the first time, Sokebin took the initiative to find the commander of the newly established Qingdao garrison after the reoccupation of Qingdao, and handed over the two Japanese-funded cruise ships to him free of charge, according to the instructions given by Liu Yimin.

It was said that he bought it from the Eighth Route Army with money and was willing to return it to Japan to deepen the friendship between the United States and Japan.

Two cruise ships, what does that mean? The commander of the Japanese Qingdao garrison originally thought it was difficult to deal with the Americans, so he was preparing to report to the country and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the US government. Now it was solved and the Japanese Qingdao garrison was happy.

The team commander smiled and kept saying thank you in English!

Sokebin struck while the iron was hot and applied to the commander of the Japanese Qingdao Garrison, demanding to use the cargo ships purchased from the Eighth Route Army auction to form a fleet and establish a shipping company to serve as a promotion of Qingdao's economic recovery.

What Mr. Sokebin could not imagine was that the Japanese were just Japanese and could not do anything. The commander of the Japanese Qingdao garrison team shook his head like a rattle when he heard this, and kept saying it was impossible, because Mr. Sokebin was from the Eighth Route Army.

All the merchant ships captured in Li are assets of the Great Japanese Empire and must be returned to the Great Japanese Empire for free.

Sokebin is an American, and the Americans have a bad temper. He gets angry when he hears it. He accuses the Japanese army of not being credible and not protecting American trade interests. It is obviously a merchant ship purchased by Mobil from the trophy of the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese army wants to occupy it.

.In this case, he took back his promise to return the two cruise ships to the Japanese army for free and use them to engage in passenger transport from Qingdao to Shanghai and Hong Kong. The dispute between them was handled by Mr. Secretary of State of the United States of America or the Ministry of Commerce, and they were with Japan abroad.

Ministry of Information and Information Affairs negotiate.

As soon as Sokebin was tough, the commander of the Japanese Qingdao garrison team became soft. He knew that according to international practices and legal principles, Sokebin did obtain ownership of these ships through legal means, and the United States was not easy to mess with, and those guys from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were

When they meet the Americans, they are always depressed and they are not reliable at all to fight with the US Department of Commerce.

The commander of the Japanese Qingdao Garrison began to bargain with Sokebin.

Sokebin said from his heart that he was a businessman. When he saw the commander of the Japanese Qingdao Garrison, he became more and more tough, and he insisted on taking back the two cruise ships given to Japan for free.

The two people negotiated for several days in a row, and it was best to agree to hand over the six gunboats that Mobil had bid for from the Eighth Route Army auction to the Japanese army. The remaining ships were formed by Mobil to form a new freight fleet and operate normally, but they were not allowed to leave the Japanese occupied area.

The route and report the accurate movements of the fleet to the Japanese Qingdao Garrison Command in a timely manner.

The oral agreement was reached, and the commander of the Japanese Qingdao garrison was still unable to make the decision, so he reported it layer by layer. In the end, Sokebin finally got his wish. Of course, Sokebin had to secretly stuff a piece for the commander of the Japanese Qingdao garrison.

The check of 50,000 US dollars was listed and operated in a public place using the shipping company seized by the Eighth Route Army.

Zhou Zijian found Sokbin and told him Liu Yimin's telegram instructions.

At this time, the United States had interrupted the US-Japan shipping and trade treaty, and the relationship between the United States and Japan was already very delicate. Although the Japanese have been trying to negotiate with the United States, the American politics has seen through the Japanese ambitions and is burying their heads to accelerate.

When preparing for war, where will we re-conclude a negotiation agreement with Japan? Anti-US sentiment is growing in Japan, and the military is also formulating a combat plan against the United States and starting secret exercises.

In this political environment, Sokbin, who is accustomed to doing business with tricks, felt a chill. Especially since Qingdao was occupied by the Eighth Route Army twice, the market was extremely depressed and the business was indeed difficult to do. Therefore, after listening to Zhou Zijian's transmission, he heard that

After Liu Yimin's instructions, Sokebin did not hesitate and asked Zhou Zijian to operate the matter.

Things were easy to handle! Zhou Zijian immediately contacted the freight transaction from Qingdao to Yantai, Longkou, and Dalian, and transferred the Zhenyuan ship from the fleet to standby, and then sent a secret report to Liu Yimin, reporting everything was ready.

Zhao Yonggang, who received the order, rushed to the big shop in vain and accepted the task.

Liu Yimin asked about the combat situation of the Second Special War Squadron and then began to assign tasks.

Liu Yimin first introduced the situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations to Zhao Yonggang.

This is an afternoon in spring. Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zhao Yong were sitting under a locust tree in the headquarters compound. There was a white porcelain tea tank in front of him, drinking and chatting.

Zhao Xiaoman sat aside, putting his notebook on his knees, making records.

Liu Yimin introduced that after the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army refused to fire a single shot and gave up the three northeastern provinces. However, all classes in the northeast were unwilling to surrender, and launched a vigorous anti-Japanese struggle and formed a group of anti-Japanese volunteer troops. At most,

It reached 300,000 people, which gave the Japanese invaders a heavy blow. Unfortunately, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army belongs to the Northeast Army system, the National Rescue System and the Supporting Society system. They are basically based on the Northeast Army participating troops and absorb spontaneous people.

The anti-Japanese forces formed, which have no unified command, unified order, and each fights, which makes it easier to be defeated by the Japanese army. They often do not rescue each other, fight alone, or even fight each other. Under the attack of 30,000 Japanese troops, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers

The main force had almost disappeared by 1933. Later, the volunteers in the south had to retreat into the pass to rest. The volunteers in the north negotiated with the Soviet Union through the National Civil Affairs Bureau, and at the cost of the National Civil Affairs Bureau of the People's Republic of China, they used the Soviet Union to pay 3.7 million US dollars.

Turning to Xinjiang. This volunteer army set off for more than 40,000 people, including more than 10,000 children and infants. After arriving in Xinjiang, more than 10,000 troops remained, and only 5,000 families were left. There were so many difficulties and hardships along the way, and the sacrifices were great.

As expected, it is extremely tragic.

Zhao Yonggang asked, "Are they all starving to death?"

Liu Yimin nodded.

Several people didn't speak and drank water silently.

Liu Yimin drank a sip of water and then introduced that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces was developed by our party in the Northeast, predecessors were the remnants of the Northeast Volunteers, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, and the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army. By September 1936, it had developed to 11 armies.

, 30,000 people. Among them, the First Route Army was organized in July 1936, and it was under the 1st and 2nd Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Yang Jingyu was the commander-in-chief, Wang Detai was the deputy commander-in-chief, and Wei Zhengmin was the director of the political department, with a total of more than 6,000 people.

, , the Southern Manchurian Provincial Party Committee; the Second Route Army was in charge of the 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 10th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, as well as the Wang Yinwu Army, and the Yao Zhenshan Army of the Volunteer Army, and was formed in October 1937, with Zhou Baozhong as the commander-in-chief.

Cui Shiquan served as chief of staff and was appointed to the Jidong Provincial Party Committee; the Third Route Army was under the jurisdiction of the 3rd, 6, 9, and 11th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and was formed in May 1939, with Li Zhaolin as commander-in-chief, Feng Zhongyun as political commissar, and Xu Hengzhi as general

Chief of Staff, returned to the Provisional Provincial Committee of the North Manchuria.

Cai Zhong was not very clear about Luo Ronghuan and Zhao Yonggang, let alone Zhao Yonggang. All three of them listened to Liu Yimin's speech attentively.

Liu Yimin said: "The struggle of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the Northeast has restrained the Kwantung Army and became a thorn inserted into the heart of the Japanese army. In desperation, the Japanese army adopted the strategy of Sasaki who was killed in Weixian to a lieutenant general.

, implement the system of group tribes and baojia joint positioning, separate the people from the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and mobilize heavy troops to continuously carry out brutal siege and storm, resulting in increasing losses to the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Especially since January 1938, the Japanese puppet

The frequency of the military's sweeps is getting higher and higher, and the situation of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces is getting more and more difficult. Until now, after experiencing so many hard battles, the main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces may have suffered heavy losses."

Liu Yimin only knew how heavy the losses were. He didn't know now. Because history had changed after all, he had suggested to the central government to strengthen the leadership of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and if necessary, they could retreat into the pass and join the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

The development and growth of the Eighth Route Army within the pass forced the Japanese Kwantung Army to enter the pass several times, and was beaten up. The situation of the Anti-Japanese United Army should be much better than in history. The last time the 115th Division went to the western Liaoning area to fight, the Confrontation United Army was

Great help. Judging from the fact that Yang Jingyu's radio contact is still open, it should be much better than in history.

Luo Ronghuan sighed and said, "The lonely army was hanging among the heavy Japanese troops, with no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. The situation of the Anti-Japanese United Army is indeed difficult!"

Liu Yimin said: "It's not just a difficult situation? For our Anti-Japanese Warriors, it's a great happiness to be able to eat the bark and chew the grassroots!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin turned to Zhao Yonggang and said, "Comrade Zhao Yonggang, this time I sent you to the Northeast to establish contact with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and help them overcome difficulties. There are three specific tasks: First, the Japanese army's rule is the most stringent

In the northeast region, special guerrilla warfare was carried out. In layman's terms, it was necessary to set fire everywhere, disrupt the rhythm of the Kwantung Army's encirclement and suppression, and attack the Anti-Japanese United Army. The second was to go with Yang Jingyu's first army, Zhou Baozhong's second army, and Li Zhaolin's first army

The three armies established contacts, covered them, and rescued them. The third is to publicize to the comrades of the Anti-Japanese United Nations’ experience in adhering to the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, mobilizing the masses, and establishing bases.”

Zhao Yonggang said: "Commander, the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Allies are all Grand Commanders, and the troops are divided into three provincial committees. Even if we establish a connection, will they listen to me?"

Luo Ronghuan immediately said: "The leaders of the Anti-Japanese Allies are all loyal members. You are representing the Shandong Bureau and there are orders from the central government. They will definitely listen to your suggestions. However, Comrade Zhao Yonggang, you have to remember.

It is not to let you be a special commissioner who is above the leadership of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, but to let you lead the previous team in the Northeast to carry out special guerrilla warfare, mobilize the Japanese army, cover and support the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. This is discipline and must

keep in mind!"
