The premature break between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party
Just when the whole office once again fell into silence because of Chiang Kai-shek's angry scoldings, he had been standing nearby. He could be called Chiang Kai-shek's confidant... Dai Li, the director of the Military Command Bureau, spoke.
"Principal, there is a saying about one's humble position, I don't know whether I should say it..."
"Say..." After hearing Dai Li's answer, Chiang Kai-shek, holding on to his last glimmer of hope, ordered angrily.
"Principal, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States joined the anti-fascist ranks. The final outcome of the Nazis has been doomed... After all, the industrially developed United States has huge war potential. And the resource-poor little devils
, in terms of national strength and war potential, it is no match for the United States. Therefore, the defeat of the little devils has become an ironclad fact. And after driving away the little devils, there will definitely be a fight between us and the ***...
"Dai Li said.
Regarding Dai Li's words, Chiang Kai-shek nodded noncommittally. Then, he said: "Yu Nong is right. However, we see clearly the current world situation, and the leaders of the Communist Party of China also see it clearly... I believe that,
This is also an important reason why the Northeast Field Army took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the outbreak of the Pacific War to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Kwantung Army troops in the three eastern provinces... So, just tell me what you think..."
"Yes, principal..."
"I'm thinking, now that the Northeast Field Army has become a foregone conclusion, occupying the entire three northeastern provinces, and we have no other options, we can only break the current deadlock from another direction... The North China Eighth Route Army, relying on the current capabilities of the party-state and
Geographical reasons also make it impossible to check and balance it. And now, the only thing in front of us is the New Fourth Army led by the Chinese Communist Party..." Dai Li said thoughtfully facing the battle map in front of him.
"New Fourth Army..." Upon hearing these three words, Chiang Kai-shek frowned immediately. Because, the New Fourth Army has become a pain in Chiang Kai-shek's heart since the last Wannan Incident. Now he mentioned this army again.
It can be said that the expression on Chiang Kai-shek's face is very rich...
Of course, at this moment, there was no need for Chiang Kai-shek to speak. As Chiang Kai-shek's confidant and favorite general, Chen Cheng said with an unyielding look: "Brother Yunong, I heard you right, you want to attack the New Fourth Army again. Could it be that the last Wannan Incident
Have you forgotten all the face the party-state has lost?"
"Besides, after the last Wannan Incident, the CCP troops' preparedness against us has been raised to a certain level. Especially the New Fourth Army operating in the hinterland of central China will definitely send a powerful force no matter what major operations are carried out.
, to be prepared for a sneak attack by our *** troops...Under such circumstances, launching an attack on the New Fourth Army will undoubtedly challenge the nerves of the CCP and provoke a second dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party..."
However, at this moment, what Chen Cheng didn't expect was that when faced with Dai Li's proposal, Chiang Kai-shek, who had just pondered briefly, not only did not show any anger, but instead showed a sly smile on his face. Then, he said
Looking at Chen Cheng in front of him, he spoke.
"Ci Xiu, regarding Yu Nong's proposal, you only thought of one aspect and did not think of the other aspect... As just said, the outcome of the current revolution, with the United States' participation in the war, is very difficult for anyone who understands.
It is clear that it has become a foregone conclusion. Therefore, as us on the anti-fascist front, China's war of resistance will also usher in the final counterattack. At this stage, with the existing Japanese troops on the front line, it is enough to deal with what the Japanese army may launch next.
Counterattack. After several years of hard work, hundreds of thousands of elite troops have been trained in our rear areas to deal with possible changes in the country. With these hundreds of thousands of elites at hand, even if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party completely break away,
Our *** troops also have enough capabilities to deal with possible changes. At least, we can maintain the current situation in the south..."
"As for North China or the three eastern provinces, they are areas controlled by the Communist Party anyway. Let the little devils make trouble. Let the little devils continue to weaken the effective strength of the CCP troops in the two places. For our ***, this is only a hundred
It is beneficial without any harm..." As he spoke, a sneer appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face...
For a moment, they saw the strange smile on Chiang Kai-shek's face in front of them. Chen Cheng and Dai Li's faces immediately showed a look of shock. Because at this moment, they had already felt a major sign from the smile of Chiang Kai-shek in front of them.
The news is that in the next period of time, there will definitely be a huge change in the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party...
However, at this moment, there was no room for the two of them to continue thinking. Because Chiang Kai-shek in front of him had quickly stood up from his seat. Then, he quickly walked to the huge combat map and began to think based on the ideas just now.
Specific plans...
At this moment, the Party Central Committee far away in Taiyuan was still immersed in the victories achieved by the Northeast Field Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army in a series of counterattacks. They had no idea that Chairman Chiang, far away in Chongqing, had already begun to formulate a plan.
, expel or directly send troops to eliminate the New Fourth Army troops operating in central China. At the same time, as an old rival, Chiang Kai-shek has begun to brew a second rupture between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party...
A few days later, the Ministry of Defense of the National Government in Chongqing, which had not been contacted by telegram for a long time, suddenly sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. This telegram was from Chiang Kai-shek, requesting that the New Fourth Army troops operating in central China should immediately move to the defense.
Specific combat orders to completely withdraw from Central China….
"What exactly does Chiang Kai-shek want to do? The last Wannan Incident ended less than two years ago, and now we have the idea of our New Fourth Army. Is Chiang Kai-shek really not afraid of destroying the united front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which will eventually lead to the whole of China?
Will we fall back into a strategy and let our common enemy reap the benefits? "After reading the telegram in his hand, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but look angry. He roared loudly to the two partners in front of him to vent his anger.
The dissatisfaction in my heart...
Seeing the angry commander-in-chief in front of them, the chairman and vice-chairman Zhou, who had read the telegram in their hands, could only smile bitterly. Because, in the decades-long struggle with Chiang Kai-shek, the two people had already known that
Knowing Chiang Kai-shek's temper, he did not show too much surprise at the sudden order issued by Chiang Kai-shek...
Finally, the chairman was the first to ask: "Enlai, among the three of us, you are the only one who has the most friendship with Chiang Kai-shek. In your opinion, what is the most important reason why Chiang Kai-shek issued this order?"
After a quick glance at the battle map in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou's face immediately showed a sly smile, and then he said: "Chairman, boss, if nothing else, our old rivals are looking at us.
Continuously growing and growing, they can no longer stand the loneliness and want to take action against us... Because, with the changes in the situation in the three northeastern provinces, the area controlled by our *** has included the entire North China, the three northeastern provinces, Shaanxi and Gansu, and so on.
In addition, the Central China area controlled by the New Fourth Army... Such a large area is in our hands. It is impossible for Chiang Kai-shek not to worry and not have taboos against us..."
"Yes, you are right..." The chairman nodded in agreement and continued.
"Chiang Kai-shek wants to drive our sphere of influence out of Central China and compress the area under our control. As for the last incident in southern Anhui, if nothing unexpected happens, as long as we do not execute the order, our opponent Chiang Kai-shek will not care if he launches it again...
After all, the current domestic situation is fundamentally different from a year ago..."
Sure enough, just as the chairman finished speaking, Ye Jianying, chief of general staff of the Communist Party of China, rushed in panting with a telegram. Before the chairman and others could ask questions, Ye Jianying, who looked impatient, became impatient.
opened his mouth and said.
"Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, urgent call from Xi'an office..."
"Xi'an... read?" After hearing Ye Jianying's answer, the chairman asked in confusion.
"Yes... Our party office in Xi'an reported that the hundreds of thousands of troops reorganized and trained by the Communist Party in Xi'an have all entered a state of combat readiness starting this morning. At the same time, the logistics organization began to replenish a large amount of food and ammunition, and seemed to be ready
Go to the front line and conduct a major military operation..." Ye Jianying quickly replied...
"Go to the front line..." Hearing Ye Jianying's answer, the commander-in-chief frowned again. Then, he asked the chairman and others beside him with a puzzled look on his face.
"As far as I know, in the entire South China region, the Japanese army launched several attacks in succession. However, they were all crushed by the Japanese army... The entire front line does not need military supplements at all. Chiang Kai-shek is now mobilizing several troops in the Xi'an area.
One hundred thousand elites are marching to the front line, is it possible that the Communist Party is also preparing to use these hundreds of thousands of elites to launch a counterattack?"
"Counterattack..." In response to the commander-in-chief's rhetorical question, the chairman couldn't help but make a sarcastic sound. Then, he spoke to the puzzled commander-in-chief in front of him.
"Boss, when did you see our old rival doing such a thankless thing? If my guess is correct, the frontline of these hundreds of thousands of troops must be pointing directly at Central China. And their combat mission
, that is, to expel or eliminate my New Fourth Army troops operating in central China..."
As soon as the chairman finished speaking, the commander-in-chief showed a look of shock and disbelief. Vice Chairman Zhou followed closely and said with approval: "I agree with the chairman's analysis. These hundreds of thousands of troops are...
*** An elite force composed of a large number of veterans drawn from the front line. Chiang Kai-shek will never let such an elite force, completely subordinate to his own orders, be consumed on the frontal battlefield."
"Chairman, Enlai. Is it possible that Chiang Kai-shek is really going to risk the world this time and launch another Southern Anhui Incident that shocked China and the world? Isn't he worried about the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party? Because his actions completely
Break up?" the commander-in-chief asked, still looking incredulous.
"Break? Commander-in-Chief, with the outbreak of the Pacific War and the United States joining the battlefield, it is doomed that Japan will eventually be defeated. Obviously, our old rival Chiang Kai-shek has also seen this. Although, those who stayed in China
The little devil looks very powerful. In fact, as the Japanese use their limited national power to launch a southward war plan, their doom is coming... Faced with such a good opportunity, of course our opponent Chiang Kai-shek will not
I will let it go...Besides, even if the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party breaks down, it will not have a big impact on the current domestic anti-war situation..." the chairman replied very definitely.
Looking at the huge military map of the whole country in front of him, after a brief thought, the commander-in-chief had to agree with the chairman's words. Then, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Chairman, you are right.
As far as the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War is concerned across the country, even if the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party breaks down immediately, it will not have much impact on the subsequent Anti-Japanese War situation... The two parties are almost divided by the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River.
Boundaries, each fighting his own way, complementary influence..."
However, in just a moment, the Commander-in-Chief changed his subject and continued to ask.
"However, what should we do about Chiang Kai-shek's orders and their military operations? Are we just going to watch hundreds of thousands of *** elites expelling our New Fourth Army from central China? Then, the occupying army fought hard
The base area we came down from..."
"The base area that our army has worked so hard to build will give up if we are asked to give up. What does Chiang Kai-shek think of our ***? You must know that the army led by our party now is not the army two years ago. It is not what Chiang Kai-shek wants.
Whatever happens, it can be done?" A sneer appeared on the corner of the chairman's mouth, and on his face, the man revealed a trace of murderous intent. Then, he said with great certainty.
"Chairman, what are you going to do?" Seeing the instant change in the face of the chairman in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief asked almost in unison.
"Judging from the current situation, the New Fourth Army that I am operating in central China is surrounded on three sides by the Japanese army and the Japanese army. Therefore, my idea is that the entire New Fourth Army, in addition to leaving some troops, will use the favorable terrain of the base area to
Continue to hold on and wait for our army's future counterattack. The main force of the New Fourth Army voluntarily withdraws from central China... to avoid fighting with the *** army in central China and leave a bad image to the people of the country that our party does not obey the overall situation of the War of Resistance...
…”
Seeing that the two partners nodded in agreement, the chairman continued: "Of course, as just said, the base area that our army worked so hard to build must not be handed over to the Japanese army so easily. And
It is a conditional retreat... If we don't agree and Chiang Kai-shek wants to solve it through war, then we will solve it through war. Let Chiang Kai-shek have a good taste of the combat effectiveness of our New Fourth Army..."
"Chairman, what are the specific conditions..." Seeing the confident chairman in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou asked.
"Our troops will return to the north of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. Then, all the *** troops north of the Huaihe River must return to the south of the Huaihe River. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party will use the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River line as the dividing line, and each will fight..." Chairman
He replied firmly.
"Haha, this condition is good. Chairman, I completely agree with your opinion... With our party's existing troops, it is enough to control all the areas north of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. As long as the time is right, the more than one million troops led by our party will
Then we can launch a large-scale counterattack and eliminate all the Japanese troops in the controlled area..." Upon hearing the chairman's conditions, the commander-in-chief's eyes lit up and he responded with a smile...
At Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing, a group of senior military officers stood motionless in front of Chiang Kai-shek, enduring Chiang Kai-shek's monstrous anger...
"Nang Xipi, what does the Communist Party want to do? To blackmail the government... Not only did he not obey the orders of the Ministry of National Defense, but he also asked all the Communist troops operating in North China to withdraw from North China... Who does he think he is?
, is he the president? No, the government will never allow the *** gang to continue to do whatever they want..." After a burst of angry curses, nervous expressions immediately appeared on the faces of the officers. Very nervous.
He stood uneasily, waiting for orders from Chiang Kai-shek in front of him.
After a short period of thinking, Chiang Kai-shek, who had already made his decision, did not hesitate at all. He asked Chen Cheng in front of him with a serious face: "Ci Xiu, have the more than 300,000 troops undergoing training in Xi'an done a good job?"
Preparation for attack..."
"Report to the principal that a total of twenty reorganized divisions and an army of 320,000 have been fully trained. According to your order, we are ready to attack at any time..." Chen Cheng did not dare to neglect and replied quickly.
"Very good, now I will appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangsu-Anhui War Zone, to unified command all the *** troops in the Jiangsu-Anhui War Zone and the twenty reorganized divisions that have just been trained in Xi'an. I require you to clear the Jiangsu-Anhui War Zone in the shortest possible time.
All the bandit troops who disobey the orders of the Ministry of National Defense...At the same time, the Japanese troops guarding the Jiangsu-Anhui theater took advantage of the situation and robbed them..." Chiang Kai-shek ordered decisively while looking at the map in front of him.
"Yes, Principal, the students will definitely live up to your high expectations, Principal..." Chen Cheng replied with excitement.
After receiving Chen Cheng's affirmative answer, Chiang Kai-shek immediately set his eyes on Dai Li. Then, he gave a very serious order.
"Yunong, if you want to completely eliminate all the bandit troops in the Jiangsu and Anhui theaters, Ci Xiu alone is absolutely not enough. Your military commanders must cooperate at any time. From now on, you must mobilize a large number of troops
Intelligence forces are invested in the Jiangsu-Anhui war zone. After the main force arrives, we must thoroughly understand the entire Jiangsu-Anhui war zone and the specific troop deployment of the bandits..."
"Yes, principal, the students promise to complete the task..." Dai Li also answered decisively without any hesitation.
