Chapter 617: The truth

The conference room was quiet, and the cadres were waiting for Chief No. 1 to talk about what to do next.

Liu Yimin first analyzed the current situation of enemy and us, and then said earnestly: "Since the end of the Jiaoji Road Battle, the Japanese army gathered in Dexian, southern Shandong and Qingdao. On the surface, the front line was temporarily consolidated, but in fact, undercurrents were surging.

.The main reasons why the Japanese army remained silent are two: one is that they could not understand the position and intention of our main force, and were afraid of being defeated again, so they temporarily contracted their defenses to wait for the opportunity. The other is that after the battle in Wuhan, the main force of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.

It is necessary to have a supplementary rest period. It is precisely because of these two reasons that the temporary calm of the Shandong battlefield has emerged."

Liu Yimin continued: "This is the case with the Japanese army. Our army's situation also requires everyone to have a clear understanding. Why did our army not take advantage of the victory after the Jiaoji Road Battle? There are three considerations here. One is the Japanese army's north and south routes.

The main force has been in place. Especially the Japanese army on the North Front, three elite divisions were drawn from the Kwantung Army. Moreover, once our army attacked the Japanese army on the North Front, if the Japanese army was prepared, it would inevitably lead to a tough battle. The three divisions of the Kwantung Army

The regiment is not those security divisions and special divisions, it is indeed well-equipped, well-trained, and has strong combat power. Not to mention the four Japanese military security divisions and North China Public Security Army that cooperate with these three divisions to fight.

The only three Japanese divisions cannot attack or ambush, our army cannot chew. What's more, once they are in a stalemate with them and expose our main position, the Kwantung Army may well come out and go south.

Joining the battle, not to mention the Japanese army on the southern front will cooperate with the attack. At that time, our army will inevitably be defeated in the north and south at the same time. If the battle ends in that situation, my teacher will definitely not save one ten and order the command to launch an attack.

The officers will also be the criminals of our army. The second one is that there is indeed a chance to capture Qingdao at that time. With the incomplete Qingdao garrison and the small number of marines, it is impossible to stop our army from siegeing the city. However, if

Our army's second occupation of Qingdao is likely to attract crazy revenge from the Japanese army, and the Japanese opportunity to turn Qingdao into scorched earth. Moreover, the Fifth Division, which was preparing to land on Qingdao, will also change its landing point and land in places where our army's garrison is weak.

, if we commit crazy revenge on the base area, the loss will be great. If our army does not attack Qingdao, we can turn the powerful Fifth Division into a Qingdao garrison, put the tiger in a cage, and add ours on all sides.

Base areas, militia, district squad, county brigade and our army take turns to attack, and Qingdao will become a big burden for the Japanese army. Not to mention anything else, the Japanese army must always want to transport grain to Qingdao, right? It must always want to arrange for the construction of the Qingdao factory?

These two points will cause the *** cabinet to quarrel with the Japanese base camp. It is precisely for this consideration that our army gave up attacking Qingdao and instead was subject to the Eighth Brigade, which was responsible for surveillance and besieging Qingdao. The third one is also the most

The main one is that our army needs time to digest the results of victory, consolidate our base areas, use Shandong's sufficient human resources to establish and restore our regimes and local armed forces at all levels. In layman's terms, it is to sit firmly.

Only by building the base area firmly can the main force launch an offensive battle without restraint and defeat the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army."

What is the current real situation? Liu Yimin analyzed: "Now both of us are gathering strength and accumulating strength. The Japanese army will likely use this period to form a puppet regime in central China, maintain the right

***The high-pressure situation of the main force, complete the troops configuration, extract the main division and join the battlefield in North China. To be precise, it is used for combat in Shandong. The Japanese army in North China will quickly adjust the system of each security division and team, and will part of it trained on the battlefield.

The security division with about 12,000 people was upgraded to a three-unit field division with about 18,000 people. At the same time, some security divisions were transferred to central China or northeastern, and the elite divisions there were used to fight against us. Wait until the Japanese army completed the supplementary work.

After rest and troops are deployed, it will inevitably launch a shocking attack on us. This judgment will not be wrong. Little *** claims to be the most powerful country in Asia and cannot afford to lose the people who lost Shandong. They must engage in another heavy army encirclement.

Of course, this time, they could not draw such a huge force as the last heavy army encirclement and suppression, and the combat goals might be appropriately adjusted. The ideal thing is naturally to wipe out the main force of our instructor and settle for the second best.

The goal should be to recapture Jinan and open up Jiaoji Road and Jinpu Road. At the worst, the Japanese army will also use offensive operations to strengthen defenses against the North China Plain, Pingjin and Jiangsu and Anhui regions, and to force our army to Shandong."

And what about our army? Liu Yimin said: "The most ideal thing about our army's combat goal is to completely expel the Japanese army from Shandong in one battle, force the Japanese army toward central China and Pingjin areas, so that Shandong can truly become a stable anti-Japanese base. If this is the case,

It cannot be realized at all, and it also goes to the second best. On the northern front, the Japanese army from Dexian to Cangxian, cooperate with our army in southern Hebei to restore and consolidate the southern Hebei base and open up the connection with the Taihang Mountain base; on the southern front, the Japanese army from

Southern Shandong drove out and suppressed the enemy to retreat to the Longhai Line. The eastern line completely besieged the Japanese army in Qingdao. The third goal is to ensure that the main force is not defeated, withdraw from Jinan, withdraw from Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road, and return to Japan-occupying traffic.

In line and big cities, we occupy rural areas and mountainous areas. We insist on a protracted war of resistance, deal with the enemy, further accumulate strength, consume the Japanese army, and wait for the fighter jets."

When he talked about this, seeing that the cadres in the audience were a little excited and raised their hands to speak, Liu Yimin stopped and asked his comrades to express their opinions.

The brigade commander of the first brigade reported that since the division commander analyzed the enemy situation so thoroughly, our army should immediately launch an offensive operation, taking advantage of the Japanese that did not complete the deployment, and severely damaged the whole route and gain a good situation for the next step of combat. According to the current deployment of the Japanese army

It is recommended that the Eighth Brigade of Education command the Qinghe Guard Brigade, the Jiaodong Guard Brigade and the Training Detachment besiege the Japanese army in Qingdao, and use some forces to defend the east bank of the Yellow River. If necessary, blow up the Yellow River iron bridge and block the enemy's northern line group's reinforcements. All main forces are concentrated to move south,

He sought to annihilate the enemy's 14th Division, completely defeated the Japanese army on the southern front, and forced the enemy to retreat to northern Jiangsu.

Liu Jian, the commander of the Second Education Brigade, reported that in addition to attacking the Japanese army on the southern front, he could also detour through western Shandong, southern Hebei, and northward to attack the Pingjin area. He transferred the Japanese army's northern front group to Pingjin, and annihilate one of the enemy in the movement.

Fortunately, the Second Division of the Japanese Army was destroyed, which was the absolute main force of the Japanese Army's Northern Line Group. If it was destroyed, the Japanese army would inevitably be shaken and the offensive would be defeated without attacking.

Li Qing, the commander of the Third Brigade of Education, reported that after the Jiaoji Road Battle, our army seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and the main force was quickly replenished, and had the ability to fight continuously. Under such circumstances, the Shandong base area must not allow the Japanese army to be allowed to do so.

Capture and defend Shandong means defending the source of troops, food and wages and strategic maneuver space. Therefore, our army should be more bold in its combat guiding ideology, and do not be afraid that the Japanese army may turn Qingdao into scorched earth, and we will build it again after the battle is over.

The Fifth Division defended Qingdao alone. Although the navy supported it, the navy could not join the street fighting. As long as our army attacked the city, it could digest the mechanized advantages of the Fifth Division. This battle will surely be successful! As long as the third division is completely eliminated, the

The Fifth Division, the entire Shandong hinterland, belongs to me. Whether our army goes north or south, its strategic mobility has been greatly enhanced, completely reversing the passive situation of being restrained by the Japanese army in the third line. In this way, our butt can truly sit firmly.

Lei Ming, the commander of the 4th Brigade, reported that in war, we cannot be afraid of sacrifice. Although our army has always won greater victories with smaller sacrifices, in the face of heavy Japanese siege, the division commander considered the deployment of the battle and should release the concerns about the casualties of the troops.

In a secondary position. Compared with winning the entire Shandong, no matter how great our army has made, it is worth it. Now, we have controlled most of the Shandong area, and are easy to be replenished by soldiers, and can even mobilize fellow villagers to support the front on a large scale.

In this case, we should fight the Japanese army to a decisive battle. Whether it is attacking the southern line, the northern line and the eastern line, we should be determined to fight to the death and wipe out a group of Japanese troops. This way we can truly improve the situation of the War of Resistance in North China.

Luo Ronghuan reminded Liu Yimin that all these can be discussed at the combat meeting. It is getting late, so that the comrades can also take a break.

Liu Yimin then waved his hand to stop the comrades who asked to speak and continued to say: "A few comrades just talked about their views on the next step of combat. These opinions are very good, which shows that our cadres have been tested by blood and fire.

Strategic thinking has the quality of being unique. This is the most gratifying thing. The specific combat will be deployed after the joint meeting of the Shandong Bureau and the Military Region. I will not go into details here. I can give a general explanation to the comrades, that is me

The general strategy of our army in mind is to defeat the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army based on Shandong. Then, we will lead our troops south, cross the Yangtze River and Huai River, cooperate with the Central Plains Bureau and the New Fourth Army to completely smash the Japanese army's rear regime system. Then we will return to the army.

North China, fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China, and recover the entire North China. Then, they will lead their troops north to fight the Japanese army to completely destroy the foundation of the Japanese war invasion of China. At this time, the Japanese army invaded China will surrender."

After hearing what Liu Yimin said, all the cadres in the audience stood up and applauded warmly again.

After waving his hand to let the cadres sit down, Liu Yimin drank a jar of water, moistened his throat, and said loudly: "This goal is very exciting, and I am extremely excited when I think about it. However, completing this goal requires bloodshed and sacrifice,

To overcome all difficulties and fight tenaciously, all military and civilians in Shandong need to unite and work together, and comrades need to conscientiously implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, be down-to-earth, and accelerate development. Comrades, do you have confidence?"

The cadres shouted in unison like a tsunami: "Yes!"

Liu Yimin continued: "To achieve this goal, comrades need to calm down, not take risks, not shrink back, and do every job well; comrades need to clearly understand the huge gap in the power gap between the enemy and us, and from Shandong

The battle, the victory of the Jiaoji Road Battle came to awakening and understood that the War of Resistance Against Japan was a protracted war. It was impossible to win the entire War of Resistance with one or two great victories, nor could it be achieved overnight. It required a long war process. This strategy

Contraction requires strategic contraction; understand that compared with other Chinese armies, the advantage of our Eighth Route Army lies in the support of the people, the unity of officers and soldiers, the correctness of the central government's strategy and the flexible tactical maneuver of each unit. In terms of equipment and supply, we still have

There are many shortcomings that cannot always regard myself as the best in the world. In this way, it will lead to pride and impatient emotions, which will affect combat deployment. The Japanese army is eager to fight the decisive battle with our main force."

Everyone on and off the stage was silent, silently chewing on the meaning of Liu Yimin's words.

Liu Yimin was very satisfied with this effect. He nodded and said, "Everyone knows that since the beginning of autumn, the rainfall in Shandong has dropped sharply and entered a drought period. If this continues to develop, if the snowfall in winter continues to decrease, there will be a severe drought in the spring next year.

In addition to the damage to the war and the disrepair of water conservancy facilities, it will inevitably lead to large-scale grain production reduction and shortage of harvest in some areas. If it is not done well, there will be drought for several consecutive years. If this happens, the lives of the people in the base area will become a problem, and our army will fight

Actions will inevitably be affected. Think about it, when the food is finished, the wild vegetables are dug, and the bark is finished, can our soldiers still fight with the Japanese? It’s okay for our army to say that no matter how hard or tired we are, we will think of persistence.

, overcome difficulties. But when the miscellaneous troops encountered this situation, they starved to death every day. Will they not be able to hold on? This is to tell comrades that they should not be blindly optimistic. They should not just look at it.

We have more than a dozen artillery regiments and 200,000 elite troops. We also need to think about how to solve the ammunition problem of our army if we fight continuously? How to solve the medicine? How to solve the food? I can tell you with certainty that we are not now.

The 18th Red Army period was in the period. At that time, there were few people. They only reaped the delicious food and drank spicy food, and their mouths were so greasy. Now it is not possible. We have such a large base, so we have to do education? Do we have to do medical care? Do we have to do transportation?

Do you have to do it? The people not only need to eat, light the lamp, dress, but also have to have money to watch opera, marry a wife, and treat diseases. These are absolutely impossible to seize just by seizure. They must develop the economy and various undertakings of the base area.

Otherwise, the people may not support us.”

The venue became even quieter, and the cadres were all in thought.

Liu Yimin smiled: "Of course, don't be scared by difficulties. As long as we are not arrogant or impatient, work hard, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome. There are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as we want to solve the difficulties, we will definitely be able to solve them.

,There are several things we need to do the most: the first is to accelerate the construction of the regime and local armed forces, and build our base into a solid wall. Even if the main force jumps out of the outside line to fight, the Japanese will not be able to stand or stay.

I can't eat or sleep well. There are mine formations of militia and local armed forces everywhere, tunnel warfare, cold runs of guns, ambush, surprise attacks, etc. This has been deployed, and Deputy Political Commissar Tan Zheng is organizing and implementing it. I ask,

All main forces must conscientiously implement the requirements of the division headquarters, elevate the construction of base areas and local armed forces to a height that concerns the survival of our army, and complete the task of one regiment and two counties to build local armed forces. We must be willing to take out the backbone,

I am willing to take out the old Red Army cadres and pull up the county brigade first. Based on this, I quickly build the district squad and militia team, and start training as soon as possible. The Japanese will not give us too long, and this must be done well.

The second is to speed up the implementation of land reform and rent reduction in 25th rent and interest. All old base areas have implemented land reform, and the measures should be implemented in accordance with the Shaanxi base areas, so that they should be more flexible. It is necessary to ensure that farmers have land to plant, but they should not let down the hearts of landlords who supported the War of Resistance.

They pushed to the hostile side. As long as this problem is handled well, comrades, I tell you that the strong rural grassroots regime and the farmers who defended the fruits of victory can truly gain a foothold in Shandong, and the Japanese are good, others

No one can take Shandong from us. The third is to vigorously develop production and strengthen economic strength. In agriculture, we must establish a special agricultural department, the Agricultural Bureau, a special agricultural science and technology research institute, and agriculture and forestry

Water schools coordinate and manage agricultural production in Shandong. The most urgent task is to use the leisure time of winter to organize the people to clear channels, dig reservoirs, and do a big move on the basis of continuing to promote the two-cooked farming method and plant drought-tolerant and high-yield crops.

Farmland water conservancy construction. We guard the Yellow River, the Yishui River and the Wen River, and we cannot let these water flow out in vain. Comrade Li Yu, you must make sure to ensure this matter is in the winter and spring droughts.

Water the farmland where it can be watered. Where it cannot be watered, the troops should be mobilized, and farmers should join hands to carry water to resist drought. Ensure that summer grain production will not be reduced or less will be reduced next year, and ensure that the blood-stricken soldiers can have a meal.

We must treat this matter as a major event where we can gain a foothold in Shandong. Looking back, I and the Political Committee and I checked it out in a random manner. Those who found that the task could not be completed were criticized."

Li Yu, who was sitting on the rostrum, stood up and reported: "Resolutely implement the instructions of No. 1 and resolutely complete the task!"

Liu Yimin signaled Li Yu to sit down and continued: "In business, we must strictly implement the regulations on the protection of ethnic industry and commerce, unify tax rates, encourage and protect commercial development, and make the economy of the base area alive. Merchants are encouraged to go to the enemy-occupied areas to do business, so as to

Non-strategic materials produced in the base area are sold to the enemy-occupied areas to exchange for the strategic materials we urgently need. Anyone who can get strategic materials back will have to be rewarded. However, one thing is that it is that fake tickets such as joint coupons must not be brought into the base area.

.We need to expand the coverage of the RMB and improve the credibility of the RMB. Let the people in North China know that RMB insurance is reliable and you can buy everything you want with RMB. In terms of industry, I have a new feeling about this problem recently, from

The feeling of Xi'an. Everyone knows that Xi'an is the focus of the Japanese bombing and was once subjected to concentrated bombing by the Japanese army. However, the citizens learned how to deal with the bombing during the bombing. The air raid shelters were dug up, the air raid sentry was set up, and they also knew how to disguise and cover it up.

An important goal. After I arrived in Xi'an, I saw that most of the citizens returned to the city and started a normal life. I invited the chairman and them to eat hot pot and kebabs, and the ingredients were bought from the market. This shows that Xi'an

People have adapted to Japanese air strikes and are not intimidated by air strikes. The Air Defense Command must study this carefully and organize learning in various cities in the base area. In the past, I had two misunderstandings in my understanding, one is that I am building a steel factory.

When it comes to power plants and arsenals, it emphasizes the advanced nature and uses machines imported from the United States. Of course, it is good, and the weapons and ammunition produced are the best. But now it is not possible. As long as you build a large-scale factory, no matter how hidden it is.

OK, it may be discovered by Japanese aircraft reconnaissance and then destroyed by Japanese aircraft. However, we cannot build factories and do not engage in military production. What should we do? I think we can only adopt the method of combining local and foreign countries and organizing technology

Staff are conducting technical research. For example, if a large iron smelting plant cannot be built, will the private iron smelting furnace be turned on as usual? Under normal circumstances, the Japanese will not waste precious aviation bombs to bomb

These small workshops give us the opportunity. As long as we can find ways to use these iron smelting furnaces, we can produce iron and steel. In addition, the machinery and equipment we seized from Tianjin and Qingdao and brought back from the United States can be more

Build a small scale, suitable for hidden small factories. Pig iron and crude steel are refined and suitable for cutting, and can produce shells and bullets in large quantities. In particular, we also bring some of the good steel seized from Tianjin and Qingdao back from the United States.

Some good steel can ensure that we produce rocket launchers and Bayi automatic rifles. Although the number cannot be too large, it is better than none. Especially rocket copper, as long as the design and process are improved, the range can be increased.
