In the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, inside a certain courtyard.
"Commander, everything is ready." A Chinese soldier reported to a Chinese lieutenant general.
"Very good, this time, with the cooperation of the Air Force, we will advance in depth, seal tightly, eliminate the border areas, and tell the people below to fight hard." The National Army Lieutenant General looked at the map without raising his head, just pointing his finger.
He knocked on the table a few times, his eyes filled with deep thoughts.
"yes!"
…
December 8, Laiyang.
Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli looked at the telegrams in their hands and couldn't believe it.
"The Chairman is really..." Fang Shengli was shocked and speechless. They just conquered these places. What the people wanted most was to regain the lost land and regain their homeland. For this, they sacrificed so many people.
In the hands of the two men was a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, instructing Fang Shengli to attack the Jiujiang area and Zhou Weiguo to attack the Jiaodong area. These places could not be used as base areas for the CCP, which would harm the future. Especially Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli's troops must obey the instructions.
If they do not comply, the commanders of the two divisions will be replaced directly.
"What should we do?" Fang Shengli was silent for a long time and said, "Send the report directly?"
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "There will probably be fighting and victory over Jiujiang. You should go back first and support the New Fourth Army appropriately."
Fang Shengli nodded, "I know."
Zhou Weiguo closed his eyes and said, "I will send another telegram to the Chairman to state the national situation. If the Chairman continues to do his own thing, then I can't make the same mistakes as him."
"Okay. I'll go back first." Fang Shengli stood up and left the headquarters.
Zhou Weiguo, on the other hand, took out a pen and paper and began to express his feelings, "Chairman Jun Jian, the country is now in ruins, and ten million people are living under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders. Wei Guo is a student, and he lives in troubled times without seeking to be educated.
Among the princes, there was Ban Chao in the Han Dynasty who volunteered to join the army, and today tens of thousands of students are joining the army to fight against the Japanese invaders. Wei Guo still remembers the Chairman of the Standing Committee's "Solid Statement on the Lugou Bridge Incident": If the war breaks out, the land will be destroyed.
Regardless of age, regardless of age, everyone has the responsibility to defend the country and fight the war, and everyone should be determined to sacrifice everything. Therefore, the government must be particularly cautious. In the face of this important event, the people of the country must be serious and calm, and prepare to defend themselves. Here
In times of crisis, we can only rely on the unity of the whole country, obedience to discipline, and strict observance of order. Since the Republic of China is a weak country, if it comes to the last moment, we will have to risk the lives of the entire nation in order to survive the country; at that time, we will no longer be allowed to compromise midway, please note
The conditions for compromise midway are the conditions for total surrender and total destruction. The people of the country must understand clearly the meaning of the so-called last moment. When the last moment comes, we can only sacrifice to the end and fight to the end. Only the determination to sacrifice to the end can win the final victory.
Victory. If we hesitate and think about peace, we will plunge our nation into a place of eternal disaster!"
After a pause, Zhou Weiguo sighed. He still remembered that when he recited this statement, he felt that Chiang Kai-shek's mind was still very clear, but what he did later was either incited or out of his original intention.
Zhi. Originally, he thought that taking Weifang and other places this time would at least buffer the coming of this incident. However, some things continued as usual.
"Japan's determination to subjugate China is not dead. The War of Resistance Against Japan has just entered a stage of stalemate and has not yet won victory! Is the Chairman just trying to live in peace? Aren't you afraid of plunging the nation into a place of eternal disaster? Aren't you afraid of being infamous for eternity? Forty million
Does the Chairman know the expectations of the people and the intentions of the fists? Once a dispute breaks out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, relatives will suffer and enemies will be happy. Moreover, when a dispute breaks out, all that is consumed is the national power of our country, and all those who bleed are
We, the Chinese soldiers, who are crying are all our Chinese people. The Japanese invaders will only clap their hands and cheer in the dark. Chairman, please think again and again! Yours sincerely, Zhou Weiguo, Independent Division."
After finishing writing, Zhou Weiguo called someone over, "Take this and send it to the chairman of the committee."
"yes!"
Seeing the soldiers leaving, Zhou Weiguo sighed again. He really didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking. In this war of resistance against Japan, the whole country had sacrificed so many people, but everything was slowly getting better.
, Chiang Kai-shek came out of the blue. It was really unexpected. This was all about building transnational power.

Tianjin
"Yoshi, the fight really started." Jun Tada nodded with satisfaction, "The harder they fight, the more satisfied I am."
"Hi!" Yoshikawa Shinya smiled, this is the only good news in these days.
"Is there any intelligence from the Independent Division?" Tada Shun asked again, "The Kuomintang will definitely order the Independent Division to attack the Eighth Route Army in Jiujiang and Jiaodong areas."
"Hey, the order has been sent. Of course, the content of the telegram is that Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli must abide by the order, otherwise, they will be removed from their positions as lieutenant generals and division commanders." Yoshikawa Nobu spoke. It was obvious that what happened this time was
Japanese figures are included.
"Zhou Weiguo is not a little lamb to be slaughtered, he is a little tiger that can bite people." Jun Tada said, "I'm afraid that the independent division will officially break with the Kuomintang army."
"I'm afraid it will." Yoshikawa Shinya said, "In Zhou Weiguo's eyes, fighting our Japanese Empire is the top priority, and in fact, he did the same."
"In that case, let the Chinese fight the Chinese! I don't believe that under such circumstances, they can still capture our occupied area!" Tada Shun snorted coldly and said, "In short, continue with the current plan.
.”
"Hi!"

Chongqing
When Lao Jiang received Zhou Weiguo's telegram, his expression was very exciting, because most of Zhou Weiguo's telegram quoted the contents of his "Solid Statement on the Lugou Bridge Incident" issued in the 26th year of the Republic of China.
Old Chiang Kai-shek looked red in the face. But he knew that if he did not take action and allowed the other side to gain power, it would really be impossible to clean them up in the future. As for the anti-Japanese war, the Japanese army was already obviously tired and unable to advance westward. Old Chiang Kai-shek
We are not worried that Japan will still be able to attack again.
"Hmph." Lao Jiang snorted coldly and slapped the telegram on the table. "Is there any news from Fang Shengli of the Second Independent Division?"
"Not yet." Dai Li said from the side.
"Wait for the news of Fang Shengli. If both of them are stubborn, then publicly remove them from their positions as division commanders." Lao Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Although our verbal orders are useless, I
It’s just to let them learn from Wu Ming.”
"yes!"
At this time, Fang Shengli was still on the plane. On his way back to Nanchang from Laiyang, news would not come out so quickly. However, Fang Shengli had already decided to support Jiujiang after returning to Nanchang, and also planned to provide assistance to Jiujiang.
The chairman of the committee sent a telegram, stating his position with emotion and reason. As for what Chiang Kai-shek said about removing him and Division Commander Zhou Weiguo from their positions, Fang Shengli was not worried. Because even if Chiang Kai-shek removed two
In terms of human positions, the two of them are still the commanders of the troops on both sides. It's just a matter of difference between those with names and those without names.
