As soon as Dai Li walked out of the room, he was surprised to see Chen Brai walking over with Jiang Cheng. Dai Li smiled at Jiang Cheng and said, "Major General Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Dai Li, "I am enjoying myself outside, thanks to Brother Yunong for sharing my worries."
Dai Li chuckled and left without saying a word. Chen Brai said to Jiang Cheng, "Wait a minute. I'll go ask the committee for instructions."
After a while, Chen Brei let Jiang Cheng in. Agent Jiang saw Jiang Cheng smiling and said, "Gu Quan, you are back from the United States? Tell me about the situation in the United States."
Jiang Cheng sat down and said, "Reporting to the committee, the U.S. economy received a large number of orders from Japan during the war between us and Japan. Now that the war in Europe has started again, the U.S. military industry companies are holding back their energy and preparing to sell their products to Europe.
, as far as I know, the order from Germany alone made those American entrepreneurs go crazy and open countless bottles of champagne."
Agent Jiang frowned and asked, "Doesn't the United States support Britain and France?"
Jiang Cheng shrugged and said, "But capital and capitalists have no motherland. As long as they have interests, they don't care whether the arms they sell are used to invade other countries or to defend their country."
Agent Jiang shook his head and expressed his disbelief at the United States. Jiang Cheng said at this time, "Commissioner, I just got the news that we are attacking the New Fourth Army when I came back. I would like to ask the commissioner, why is this?"
Agent Jiang frowned and said, "Don't worry about this! The New Fourth Army disobeys military orders and should be taught a lesson."
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "The New Fourth Army has been fighting the Japanese army. Isn't this wrong? The Eighth Route Army is still fighting the Japanese army in North China, but we are here to fight the New Fourth Army. Chairman, I know about our conflict with the Red Party, but can we look at it?
Is this all for the sake of the anti-Japanese army? We can wait until after the Japanese army is defeated?"
Jiang Jie stood up, looked at Jiang Cheng gloomily and asked, "Do you also think that I am destroying the Great Wall? Is it Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty? Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty?"
Jiang Cheng met Jiang's eyes and said, "I only know that the most important thing for us now is to resist Japan. No matter how bad the Red Party is, they will resist Japan! As long as there is a force to resist Japan, we should unite!!"
Agent Jiang stood up and shouted loudly, "What will the Red Party do? They know how to demagogue people everywhere! Look at the students below, those are all students! Why don't they study hard and come out to make trouble? It's not because of the Red Party
?I don’t understand. When they moved that day, I had the troops escort me and they had good food and drink. Those professors and celebrities always spent a lot on their salaries, so why are they still not satisfied!”
Jiang Cheng also stood up and said, "That's because they know that the fight against Japan cannot be won by relying on some students, or us dignitaries, or our White Party. It can be won by uniting the whole of China. The Red and White Party
It’s just internal fighting. If the internal fighting continues, I don’t know who China’s ruling party will be, but I know our China will be doomed!”
Agent Jiang raised his scepter and aimed at Jiang Cheng to hit him. Jiang Cheng grabbed the scepter and began to fight with Agent Jiang.
Agent Jiang looked at the tough-looking Jiang Cheng and burst out laughing. He exhaled and said, "You asked Jianfeng to protect the New Fourth Army, right?"
Jiang Cheng knew that some of ******'s practices could not be hidden from Agent Jiang. He nodded and said, "I think red and white should only cooperate, at least at this time."
Jiang Jieyan took away the scepter with force and shouted on the ground, "Confused!! Gu Quan, you really let me down. Let me ask you, have you been to the Soviet Union?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't."
Agent Jiang sighed, "I have been there...not just me, many people in our White Party were also Red Party members before, or were supporters of the Red Party. I was even an honorary member of the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee of the Red International. This is our China." People have held the highest positions in red countries, but even though I know the Red Party, I reject them so much... The Japanese want to subjugate our country, but they are still shouting at us, hoping Negotiate with us, but what about the Red Party? It is not just about destroying our country, it is about destroying the world!! The Red Party is going to destroy China’s millennium program!! Okay, don’t talk about this anymore, you Go out, I don’t blame you today...you should focus more on assisting Jianfeng’s finances from now on, and don’t worry about anything else."
Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at Intermediary Jiang who looked determined. Knowing that there was no hope of persuading Intermediary Jiang, Jiang Cheng lowered his head and nodded to Intermediary Jiang and walked out.
Agent Jiang waited for Jiang Cheng to walk out. A murderous look flashed in his eyes, but he endured it and sat down to correct the documents.
Jiang's agent continued to work on suppressing the rebellion here. Jiang Cheng and Zhou Guansheng were in the room watching the news coming from all sides. Zhou Guansheng put down the documents and said, "It's so similar to the Wannan Incident you mentioned. Ye Ting was arrested. How many people did the National Army have?" Faced with a siege, I am now worried about what the outcome of this matter will be in the end."
Jiang Cheng handed a piece of intelligence to Zhou Guansheng and said, "It's different from history. Look, this is a secret telegram sent from Nanjing and the intelligence we deciphered. The Japanese army has laid a huge trap for Chongqing."
Zhou Guansheng took it and looked at it for a few times. He was surprised at first, then happy, and finally pondered, and said to Jiang Cheng, "If the Japanese army really has such a strategic plan, then Xue Yue's victory during this period was given to him by the Japanese army." Yes, the Japanese army must achieve huge results if they make such a big concession, and the Japanese army’s goal is indeed Changsha.”
Jiang Cheng asked Zhou Guansheng, "Has Chen Yi been found now?"
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "We have already contacted Lin Sanhu's department."
Jiang Cheng said happily, "The 115th Division has secretly moved south?"
Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "Yes, we have already moved south to northern Jiangsu. The chairman asked Lin Sanhu not to attack big cities. They are just large and small towns. The situation across the country is so chaotic now that the Japanese army will not even notice when some towns change hands."
Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's appropriate or not."
Zhou Guansheng turned around and asked, "Tell me about it."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I think the strength of our Red Party has reached a bottleneck. Now we are fighting Chahar and Mongolia in the north. Judging from the current war, we can definitely win. Then we can fight next There are not many places left to attack the central plains such as Hebei and Henan, or directly from the grasslands to attack the three eastern provinces. These two places are battlegrounds for the Japanese army. It can be said that if you want to liberate these areas, you must do a good job We are desperately preparing against the two million regular Japanese troops. Of course, I believe that we can win with our concerted efforts, but I am afraid that after the battle, our vitality will be greatly weakened."
Zhou Guansheng sighed, "Yes, the chairman and I think so too, so we have been considering this issue for the past six months."
Jiang Cheng continued, "To the west of us are the three horses that have always been hostile to us. Although Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang said he was pro-Soviet, it was just a method he used to deal with Chiang's intermediaries. What he really pro-Soviet was himself.
, Let’s talk about the south. After this big change, the New Fourth Army has not been able to breathe for half a year. In fact, if we are not in a hurry, we can naturally wait for the end of World War II, slowly accumulate strength, and finally have a showdown with Chongqing. But if we want to let China in advance
If you stand up, you must be prepared to face Chongqing in advance."
Zhou Guansheng said anxiously, "You don't want us to start a full-scale war with Chongqing now, do you? This is absolutely not possible! The main contradiction now is still the Communist Party, the anti-Japanese war. Even if the National Army attacks us first this time,
We cannot start a full-scale war, this is our bottom line!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that we should be prepared to let Chongqing clearly see the strength between us. In fact, Chongqing should have noticed that our strength has increased rapidly from the previous battles. We might as well
We will continue to do nothing. Now that the Japanese army has moved from northern Jiangsu, and the strength of the National Army has been defeated there, we simply let Lin Sanhu make a big fuss in northern Jiangsu and fully liberate northern Jiangsu. There is no need to worry about weapons and ammunition.
If you are worried, I will find a way to solve it."
Zhou Guansheng hesitated and said, "I want to discuss this with the chairman."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "My idea is that the Japanese army's target is Changsha now, and Xue Yue is already hundreds of miles away from Changsha where there is a solid position. The Japanese army will definitely take action in the near future, and we can wait until Xue Yue's troops are hit."
Immediately occupy northern Jiangsu and at the same time raise the banner of the New Fourth Army. Firstly, it tells the people of the country that for the sake of national justice, our New Fourth Army did not fight back against the National Army, but instead attacked the Japanese army. Secondly, whether the designation of the New Fourth Army actually exists or not does not exist.
It does not depend on the National Government, but on the people. As long as the people have the New Fourth Army in their hearts, then the New Fourth Army is a legitimate army. Thirdly, the National Army is now willing to deal with our New Fourth Army at all costs, which means that Chiang Kai-shek and the White Party will never tolerate us.
The troops are active in Jiangnan, so if we should still transfer the main force to Jiangbei, it would be fine as long as there are guerrillas in Jiangnan..."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng said in a low voice, "I think Jiangnan's move of ****** is more effective than playing it ourselves."
Zhou Guansheng hummed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll send a telegram to the chairman to express your opinions."
——Taiping Lake
Beside the dam of Taiping Lake, a group of squires knelt on the ground, kowtowing to a group of Nationalist soldiers who were placing bombs. The white-bearded old man who was leading the kowtow had blood on his head. He stood aside and watched anxiously.
The National Army officer with the pocket watch said, "Boss, you really can't blow it up, you can't blow it up! These are the fields and homes of the people in several of our villages and towns. This bombing will completely destroy them."
The officer impatiently kicked the old man with a white beard to the ground and said, "I see that your son is too lazy to pay attention to you when he is the director of the division in Chongqing. If you old boy dares to yell here again, believe it or not."
Were you shot as a red-blooded rebel?"
The old man grabbed the officer's pants tightly and said, "My Wang family's ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years, and their ancestral graves are buried there. For the sake of my ancestors, even if I die, I won't let you blow up."
"
At this time, a communications soldier stood up and shouted loudly, "Commander, the New Fourth Army has arrived at the designated position, and the headquarters order has begun."
The officer ignored the old man anymore, stepped on the old man's hand with his foot, and shouted to the soldier, "Blow it up!! Blow it up!!!"
Amid the shouts of the old man and a group of squires, the water of Taiping Lake surged out with loud explosions and headed south. Less than twenty miles away from Taiping Lake, Xiang Ying was riding a horse and kept giving orders.
Various orders allowed the troops to retreat steadily.
"Report... report, emergency situation. A large number of birds and loud noises suddenly appeared on the right side of our army. It is suspected that there are troops." A communications soldier flew off his horse and said.
Xiang Ying looked to the right, quickly rode to a high ground, picked up the binoculars, and saw an extremely terrifying scene. The sky was full of water, wrapped in countless trees and sand, rushing towards the New Fourth Army.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!!" Xiang Ying shouted loudly, but his feet could not run through the flood. Within a few minutes, countless New Fourth Army troops were swept south by floods and mudslides. Later generations recorded that this
The Taiping Lake flood inundated nine towns and seven townships, with nearly one million people affected. The New Fourth Army's formation was washed away by the flood, and was later pursued by the National Army, resulting in over 10,000 casualties. Xiang Ying, Zhou Zikun and others disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.
——Xinqianghe
Countless Nationalist troops stepped onto the pontoon bridges they had built and ran quickly to the north side of the river. Xue Yue looked at the troops, pointed at the river and said, "No, there are too few pontoon bridges. Build more so that our logistics will follow."
Not available."
Wu Yizhi looked at the National Army, which was progressing smoothly along the way, and said with some worry, "Bo Ling, do you think our fight was too smooth? We had three battles and three victories along the way, which is incredible."
Xue Yue sighed and said, "The defeated generals like Zhang Zizhong in Xiangyang were able to defeat the Japanese army. The Eighth Route Army was able to attack Taiyuan with their own guns and artillery. It can be seen that the Japanese army is indeed in ruins. I saw our battle losses."
, not small, and the Japanese army left tens of thousands of corpses. Have you ever seen a false defeat that resulted in such huge losses?"
Wu Yizhi thought for a while, nodded, and felt that what Xue Yue said made sense, and asked, "Then where will we end the fight?"
Xue Yue tidied up his clothes and said, "It's hard to say. Let's capture Yueyang City first. The old man is very busy now. He has to defeat the New Fourth Army and calm public opinion everywhere. You don't know, the old man fought with me yesterday.
I called him and told him that the better the fight here, the less pressure he would have on his side. I know that the pressure he was talking about was not military pressure..."
Wu Yizhi hummed and said, "Then let's continue the attack, but we must defend this back road. I'm afraid the Japanese army is cheating."
Xue Yue smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you are just too cautious."
Just as he was talking, Xue Yue suddenly saw a black spot emerging from the sky. Xue Yue pointed at the black spots and shouted loudly, "Get the telescope! What are those?"
