At this moment, the communications staff officer of the division rushed into the headquarters with a telegram and came to the two people: "Report to the chief, political commissar, *** telegram."
"***The telegram, so fast! Minister Li, the central government must have replied to us about the specific candidates for the negotiating delegation. Hurry up and give me the telegram..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with excitement on his face, taking over the communication staff
I handed over the telegram and began to read it.
Sure enough, the content of the entire telegram began with an affirmation of the achievements of the *** Division, and then it was about the negotiations with the Shanxi-Sui Army. In the end, after deliberation and decision by the Military Commission, the composition was headed by Liu Hua and Li Qing.
, the negotiating delegation, assisted by Li Fuchun, secretly negotiated with the Jinsui Army.
With a specific mission in mind, Li Fuchun, who had just entered Taiyuan City, rushed to Jiexiu with his guards without any thought of rest, preparing to conduct specific negotiations with the Jinsui Army. Finally, while the two parties were anxiously waiting,
, representatives of both parties finally came to the negotiating table and prepared for specific negotiations.
"Commander Liu, I am the Chief of Staff of the Second Theater Command. Here today, it is my honor to see Commander Liu of the Japanese Army, who makes the little devils frightened, sitting together with Commander Liu..." Look
When Liu Hua, the very young division commander and chief of staff, walked into the conference room, he was surprised and quickly raised his right hand in a military salute and said.
"Chief of Staff Wang, I don't dare to be. I'm just a junior, how can I compare with seniors like you? Chief of Staff Wang, please sit down..." While speaking, representatives from both sides sat down in their seats one after another and began to discuss the details.
of negotiations.
"Commander Liu, according to the order of the Ministry of National Defense of Chongqing, our department has marched out of Taiyuan City and prepared to enter Taiyuan. I don't know why Commander Liu ordered the troops to disarm all my two reorganized divisions. Today, I hope Commander Liu can give us an explanation.
At the same time, return all the officers and soldiers of our unit, and lead the *** division to withdraw from Taiyuan City..." As the negotiations began, the chief of staff of the Shanxi-Sui Army first took over the position and made a series of remarks to the division commander Liu Hua in front of him.
Questioning. Want to take the initiative in the entire negotiation process.
However, it was beyond the chief of staff's expectation. After hearing his repeated questions, Liu Hua in front of him did not react at all. Instead, he smiled and said nothing. Because Liu Hua knew that the chief of staff in front of him,
Although the tone on his lips was very tough, he must be very anxious in his heart, because he had 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army in his hands, and the Jinsui Army was asking for help from him at this time.
"Commander Liu, please give us an explanation. Our Jinsui Army stationed in Taiyuan City in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of National Defense." Seeing Liu Hua, who had been silent in front of him, the originally silent chief of staff burst into laughter.
Liu Hua couldn't help but become anxious, and then asked, keeping the Ministry of National Defense in front of him.
"Okay, Chief of Staff Wang, since you have been reminding us that the departure of the Shanxi-Sui Army is an order from the Ministry of National Defense. My opinion now is very simple, that is, we stop negotiating and report this matter to the General Chairman in Chongqing.
Please give us an explanation from Chairman Chiang and the Ministry of National Defense so that Chairman Chiang can make the final decision. I wonder what Chief of Staff Wang means: If it is agreed, we will send a telegram immediately?" Facing the anxious staff officer in front of him,
Commander, Liu Hua hit the nail on the head and pointed out the weaknesses of the Jin-Sui Army.
"Ah...Mr. Liu, don't be anxious, Mr. Liu. This matter is just a matter between you and me. There is no need to trouble Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing. Please tell me your conditions, Mr. Liu. As long as the request is appropriate,
Our Jinsui Army will definitely comply with the request. I only hope that Commander Liu can immediately release all the officers and soldiers of my two reorganized divisions." Although the chief of staff in front of him was very sophisticated, his tone still clearly revealed that in the
After listening to Liu Hua's words, he was panicking at this moment.
Just like that, because the Jinsui Army had 30,000 officers and soldiers, two reorganization divisions were in Liu Hua's hands. In the subsequent negotiations, the Chief of Staff of the Jinsui Army in front of him no longer showed any arrogance. The entire negotiation process was carried out smoothly.
It went extremely smoothly. Except for the ordinary soldiers who were willing to join the *** division, the 30,000 captured Jinsui officers and soldiers were all returned to the Jinsui Army.
However, Liu Hua kept all the captured weapons and ammunition. All the equipment and ammunition of the two mountain artillery battalions and the anti-aircraft machine gun company were kept by Liu Hua on the grounds of paying military expenses. As for other various equipment, because of the
All the *** divisions were replaced with Japanese equipment, and at this moment, the *** divisions could not offend the Jinsui Army. Therefore, they were all handed over to the Jinsui Army.
However, in terms of ammunition, except for leaving a certain amount of ammunition for the Jinsui Army to protect themselves, the rest was all put into the pockets of the *** division. In Liu Hua's words, although these ammunition cannot be used by the main force, they can't be used by the main force.
, which can be handed over to militias equipped with domestic equipment and local garrison forces.
Similarly, when Liu Hua exchanged the captured Jinsui officers and soldiers, Yan Xishan could only bear the pain and paid a lot of money. The entire Jinsui army returned to its original station and moved without going through the police.
With the permission of the instructor, it is prohibited to enter the area controlled by the instructor...
Of course, everything in it was the result of secret negotiations between the two armies. As for Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, he knew nothing about it. After a week of dispatching troops from the Shanxi-Sui Army, he had great expectations for the plan he had formulated.
Chiang Kai-shek, within a week, not only did not hear anything about the battle between the Jinsui Army and the *** Division, but he saw a letter sent to him by Yan Xishan, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
telegraph.
"Chairman, the entire Shanxi Province was recaptured from the hands of the Japanese army with the lives and blood of a large number of soldiers by the *** Division of the Eighth Route Army. Due to emotions and reasons, the Shanxi-Sui Army stationed in Taiyuan. We are sorry for those who died on the battlefield.
The people of the Communist Party of China are also sorry for the fellows in Shanxi Province. Taiyuan was lost in the hands of the Jinsui Army. If the Jinsui Army wants to return to Taiyuan, it must be recaptured from the hands of the Japanese army. Not again.
The fruits of victory achieved by the *** Division of the Eighth Route Army... After a long period of thinking, I decided that the Shanxi-Sui Army should return to its original defense area... The Commander of the Second Theater Zone:
Yan Xishan."
"Mother Xipi, how could this happen? Is this Yan Xishan who was born as a landlord..." After reading this eloquent telegram of nearly a thousand words, Chiang Kai-shek's entire forehead was twisted into the character Sichuan. At the same time, a pair of eyes
Li also showed a hint of sharpness, and cursed in disbelief at the staff adjutant in front. Obviously, the telegram sent by Yan Xishan shocked him.
"Nang Xipi, none of these warlords are good, and they don't obey the orders of the Ministry of National Defense. Adjutant Wang, call Dai Li, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, yes, and Bai Chongxi to come here immediately. Hurry.
.." Half a minute later. Looking at the telegram in his hand that he had read countless times, Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath and calmed down the anger in his heart. He faced Adjutant Wang who was also frightened and afraid of being implicated.
, ordered loudly.
"Yes, Chairman..." After hearing Chiang Kai-shek's order, Adjutant Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves couldn't help but relax, and he quickly turned around and left this place of right and wrong.
Although the office once again fell into silence, in less than two minutes, several confidants stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek one after another. However, when they saw the frowning and angry Chiang Kai-shek in front of them,
The four of them lowered their heads without knowing why and said nothing.
"Nang Xipi, Yu Nong, you are in charge of intelligence work. It has been a week since Yan Xishan from Shanxi sent troops. Has anything happened with the Eighth Route Army's *** division?" Seeing the silent man in front of him,
Four people. Chiang Kai-shek first turned his attention to Dai Li, who had disappointed him many times.
"Report to the Chairman, according to intelligence sent back by investigators lurking within the Jinsui Army, the main force of the Jinsui Army led by Yan Xishan suddenly stopped advancing three days ago. Now the main force of the Jinsui Army is stationed in the middle
Jinniu Mountain area 60 kilometers south of Xiu. As for the specific reason for stopping, we have not yet figured out the specific reason. In addition, because of the several counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns by the *** Division, our intelligence agency hidden within the *** Division,
It was basically detected by the Eighth Route Army intelligence personnel. Now there are only some low-level intelligence personnel left, who cannot provide us with any valuable information at all." Looking at the angry face of Chiang Kai-shek in front of him, Dai Li quickly stood up and answered.
"Nang Xipi, you guys are just losers. Every time the government allocates so much money to you, what have you done? Look, this is the telegram just sent by Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan doesn't do it either.
Knowing that he is possessed by a demon or something, he actually asked to withdraw from Shanxi and not march into Taiyuan. You all should take a closer look!" Chiang Kai-shek said angrily and threw the telegram in his hand in front of the four people.
"Impossible, how could this be? Shanxi is the foundation of the Shanxi-Sui Army. How could Yan Xishan make such a choice? Impossible, Chairman, absolutely impossible." After reading the telegram in his hand, Bai Chongxi, the proposer of the entire plan, said
One stood up and asked in disbelief.
"Jiansheng, I can't believe this, but Yan Xishan has indeed done it. According to the telegram sent from the second war zone, the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army led by Yan Xishan is currently withdrawing.
In one day, we can withdraw to the original defense area and continue the confrontation with the Japanese army." Chiang Kai-shek also shook his head speechlessly and said.
"Chairman, I think there must be something fishy in this. Otherwise, why did Yan Xishan march confidently in the first place. However, after staying here for three days, he asked to withdraw his troops?" After reading the contents of the telegram in his hand,
The old-fashioned He Yingqin frowned and said.
"Well, I respect you, please continue." After hearing what He Yingqin said, Chiang Kai-shek's face looked a little better, and he nodded with deep understanding.
"Yes, Chairman. I think something must have happened near Jiexiu in the past few days that we don't know about. And it was because of these things that Yan Xishan changed his initial decision to march. At the same time,
I think there may have been some kind of agreement between the Jinsui Army and the Japanese Army..." Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's confused eyes, He Yingqin expressed his thoughts.
"Well, agreement? What Jingzhi said is very correct. There must have been some agreements between the two armies that we don't know about. Niang Xipi, they simply don't take our Central Committee seriously. Yunong, I'll give it to you again.
You have an opportunity to make meritorious deeds and request the investigators nearby. The intelligence personnel will immediately investigate all the ins and outs of the matter. I will give you two days. After two days, I want to know the result." Faced with the mystery nearby, just quit.
.Chiang Kai-shek once again cast his gaze on Dai Li in front of him.
"Yes, Principal, the students will definitely live up to your love. They will investigate the entire incident clearly within two days." Seeing the cold gaze of Chiang Kai-shek in front of him, Dai Li quickly replied.
However, because only the top leaders of both parties knew about the entire negotiation process, even after several days, even though Dai Li poured into his power and knew that he would not hesitate to expose some senior intelligence personnel, he still did not detect any intelligence. However, these were all
That's a story later....
Just when Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing was discussing countermeasures with his confidants for the matter in front of him, the negotiations in Jiexiu had achieved a complete success. Among the 30,000 officers and soldiers captured by the *** division, except for 7,600
Except for the eight soldiers who were willing to join the Eighth Route Army, the remaining troops and all light weapons were returned to the Shanxi-Sui Army.
However, during the handover process, in order to completely defeat the Jinsui Army and once again follow the ambition of Shanxi Province, Liu Hua specifically ordered the direct column stationed in Jiexiu to carry out an attack in front of the captured Jinsui Army.
He carried out a massive military attack and used his powerful military strength to defeat the Jinsui Army's intention to counterattack.
On the day when the prisoners were returned, the 36 105mm heavy mountain guns of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, under Liu Hua's order, were all lined up and placed in front of the prisoners of the Jinsui Army. At the same time, 9 tanks of the Armored Regiment
, amidst the huge roar, galloped past the prisoners of the Jinsui Army. More importantly, the three infantry regiments carefully selected in the directly affiliated column, carrying various weapons, walked in front of these Jinsui Army in high spirits.
Pass....
Looking at the three infantry regiments with all Japanese-style equipment passing in front of him, although the chief of staff of the Shanxi-Sui Army was very jealous, he was more filled with emotion. Especially when he saw the tanks speeding past, he was so excited.
Heavy artillery was dragged by cars. Because, in the entire Shanxi-Sui Army of 100,000 troops, not only did there not be a single tank, but it was impossible to even put together a heavy artillery regiment.
"Commander Liu, I really didn't expect that your army's equipment is so advanced, even equipped with tanks and heavy artillery. Now I finally know why Taiyuan City, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, can be easily recaptured by you. At the same time, the most elite Japanese army
The Kwantung Army can be completely destroyed in your hands. Commander Liu, I hereby guarantee that in the future battles, our Shanxi-Sui Army will absolutely follow the negotiation content and will never take the initiative to have any military conflict with your army." Although.
He knew that the military exercise in front of him was a demonstration to him. However, thinking of the powerful military strength he had just seen, the chief of staff was still very sure. Without reporting to Yan Xishan, he directly reported to the smiling *** in front of him.
Division commander Liu Hua assured.
"Haha, Chief of Staff Wang, I, Liu Hua, am here to assure you that as long as your army does not take the initiative to provoke our Eighth Route Army, our two armies will definitely be able to coexist peacefully in the future anti-Japanese battlefield... because we **
* People firmly believe in one principle, that is: I will not attack others unless they attack me. If they attack me, I will attack them..." After hearing the words of the chief of staff, Liu Hua also answered with unusual certainty.
"Yes, Commander Liu. I will convey your words to Commander Yan's ears verbatim. I believe that our two armies will be able to coexist peacefully..." In this way, the Chief of Staff of the Jinsui Army led the
With the remaining more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, under the armed protection of the two brigades directly under the column, they left Shanxi Province and retreated to their original garrison.
At the same time, the plan to weaken the Jinsui Army and the *** Division, which was personally presided over by Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing, was completely shattered. More importantly, in this plan, the *** Division not only received 7,600 soldiers with rich
In addition to soldiers with combat experience, they also received a large amount of equipment and ammunition.
"Reporting to the division commander, Minister Li... the results of this battle have been calculated. According to your request, more than 20,000 Jinsui officers and soldiers, except for carrying a base amount of ammunition for self-protection, all the remaining ammunition and baggage
We kept them." As the Jinsui Army left, Chief of Staff Li Qing, who had been busy all day for the various weapons and ammunition seized, came with a list of statistics and a smile on his face.
In front of Liu Hua and Li Fuchun.
"Um? The statistics were calculated so quickly. Chief of Staff, thank you for your hard work. Could you please read it to us again to see how much blood this Yan Xishan had this time?" Liu Hua replied with a smile on his face.
Even Li Fuchun next to him was full of expectations.
"Yes, division commander, Minister Li. According to statistics, all the results include two high-power radio stations, 24 low-power radio stations, 24 75mm mountain field guns, 24 anti-aircraft machine guns, and 248 light and heavy machine guns. The rest are left behind.
We have fired various kinds of ammunition, which can be said to be countless, enough for all the troops in the army equipped with domestic equipment to use for the first half of a year. This is a specific list, please take a look." Chief of Staff Li Qing replied with a smile.
