Chairman Chiang vomited blood and fainted. Chen Cheng and others rushed forward to help him up and then rushed him to the hospital.
Fortunately, Chairman Chiang was not seriously ill. He was just suffering from anxiety. When he arrived at the hospital, he was given a shot of sedative and he immediately woke up.
Chen Cheng sat on the bedside of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, wiping his tears and said: "Commissioner, you really scared us just now."
He Yingqin and others nodded repeatedly, but Bai Chongxi rolled his eyes, thinking that a group of sycophants would not be too disgusting.
"Cixiu, you are interested." Chairman Jiang nodded, then looked at Wang Shihe and asked: "Shihe, has the telegram to Ma Bufang been sent?"
Wang Shihe quickly replied: "I haven't replied to the committee yet."
"Then don't send it." Chairman Jiang sighed and added, "In addition, send a telegram to Ma Bufang and ask him to quickly send troops to send the supplies to Yan'an."
"Ah?" Wang Shihe was stunned for a moment and said, "But wasn't that batch of supplies destroyed?"
Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were also dumbfounded when they heard this. Is the Chairman preparing to compromise?
"Ma Bufang's nonsense is just to deceive an honest person like you." Chairman Chiang said, "The supplies provided by the Soviet Union to the CCP are all in short supply. Do you really think Ma Bufang is willing to destroy them?" He shook his head,
Chairman Chiang added, "Send a report to Ma Bufang immediately and ask him to send troops to send supplies to Yan'an."
"Yes!" Wang Shihe agreed and turned around.
Watching Wang Shihe go away, He Yingqin asked: "Commissioner, how should we handle the matter of the 32nd Army?"
"Is it about the Thirty-Second Army?" Upon hearing this, Chairman Chiang's face immediately darkened and he remained silent for a long time.
Chen Cheng was worthy of being the junior chairman of the Generalissimo. Just by looking at Chairman Jiang's face, he had already figured out his thoughts. He immediately said to He Yingqin: "Minister He, let's keep the matter of the Thirty-second Group Army down. In any case, one of our
The group army couldn't beat a single regiment, and even had it wiped out. It's really embarrassing to tell anyone."
Bai Chongxi was dumbfounded and said: "Brother Cixiu, do you think this matter should be settled like this?"
"Of course not." Chen Cheng said ferociously, "I just said that this matter should not be publicized, but I didn't say that I would not pursue it any further. Let's write down this debt for now, and wait for the opportunity to pay it back in the future."
When Bai Chongxi wanted to say more, Chairman Chiang waved his hand and interrupted him. Chairman Chiang said: "This matter is indeed disgraceful, so let's do what the rhetoric says."
(Dividing line)
Yan'an.
Chairman Mao didn't sleep all night again. He didn't fall down in the pit and took a nap until after dawn. He just got up and was eating millet porridge with pickled radish. Suddenly he heard the guards outside saying hello to people. When he looked up
, I saw Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou walking in hand in hand, and the expressions on their faces were a little solemn.
What happened? Chairman Mao's heart sank slightly, but he did not put down the porridge bowl.
After a while, Mr. Zhu was in front and Vice Chairman Zhou was behind, and the two of them filed into the cave dwelling.
As soon as Mr. Zhu came in, he said: "Old Mao, something happened. This little guy Xu Rui broke the sky."
Vice Chairman Zhou continued: "We just received an urgent telegram from the New Fourth Army, saying that Xu Rui launched a military operation against the Kuomintang's 32nd Army last night without consulting his superiors. So far,
, the 32nd Army has been completely wiped out. Except for Wang Lingyun, the commander of the 76th Division, who was killed in the melee, all their generals, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Li Motang, were all captured by our army."
Damn it! The porridge bowl in Chairman Mao's hand fell on the edge of the pit, turned over and then flipped upside down on the ground. The millet porridge in the bowl also spilled on the ground. Chairman Mao didn't notice it at all and just looked at Zhu in a daze.
The boss and Vice Chairman Zhou were obviously so anxious that even Chairman Mao found it difficult to digest the news.
Really, this news is really shocking.
Chairman Mao was a great man of his generation. Almost nothing in this world could surprise him. But at this moment, Chairman Mao was really, really surprised. He was not only surprised that the Dameishan Independent Regiment could completely annihilate the Kuomintang’s first troops in such a short period of time.
The 32nd Army was even more surprised that Xu Rui was so bold!
If you attack the Japanese without asking for instructions, then that's it. After all, the situation on the battlefield behind enemy lines is changing rapidly. In order to better attack the invaders, it is completely necessary to give front-line commanders the power to act expediently. Otherwise, when the report is typed, the superiors will hold a meeting to study it.
When I gave the order, the daylilies were already cold by then.
However, the Dameishan Independent Regiment fought the Kuomintang troops this time!
God, this is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This is a political incident!
And this time it was not the Kuomintang who provoked first, but the Dameishan Independent Regiment who took the initiative to attack!
Of course, if there is a strict investigation, it is actually the Kuomintang who provoked first. If it were not because Ma Bufang robbed supplies and mutilated one of our battalions, how could it have attracted such fierce revenge from Xu Rui? However, the robbery of supplies
It's Ma Bufang, not the 32nd Army in the Dabie Mountains border area!
Mr. Zhu also spread his hands and said: "Old Mao, this little guy Xu Rui really made a hole in the sky this time. Several patriots from the democratic parties, including Mr. Song, have already sent inquiries and inquiries.
Is this indeed the case? I don’t know how to reply. Alas, Xu Rui, this little guy, is good at fighting, but his ability to cause trouble is even greater. I never thought that this kid could create such a big mess. Now
what to do?"
Vice Chairman Zhou also said: "Due to the Japanese government's political inducement to surrender, the Kuomintang's position was somewhat shaken, so there was a series of frictions in the near future. After hard struggle and compromise, we finally calmed down the situation, but now
But something like this happens again, and I’m worried that the Kuomintang will backlash.”
Boss Zhu waved his hand and said: "I'm not worried about the Kuomintang's backlash. What I'm worried about now is the little guy Xu Rui. How about we call him to Yan'an and let him study at the Anti-Japanese University for a period of time?"
Vice Chairman Zhou nodded and said: "I agree with the boss's opinion. Now summoning Xu Rui to Yan'an to study will help calm the situation and protect him personally."
Boss Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou were talking there, but Chairman Mao never said a word.
Chairman Mao just rolled up a cigarette, squinted his eyes and started smoking silently.
It wasn't until he finished smoking a cigarette that Chairman Mao's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and he asked in a deep voice: "What is the reaction from the Kuomintang now? Have they sent a question call?"
"That's not true." Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "I was just wondering."
Vice Chairman Zhou also said: "This matter is indeed a bit abnormal. When the two parties had friction in the past, the Kuomintang would call us to question us even if it was the party that was in the wrong, as if we had done something wrong, but this time it was really the Dameishan Independence Group
There was provocation first, but the Kuomintang side became quiet instead, as if they didn't know about it."
"If that's the case, I probably understand what's going on." Chairman Mao put out his cigarette butt and said, "Boss, you have wrongly blamed this little guy Xu Rui. This little guy is not a troublemaker. It seems that this military operation
It seems reckless, but in fact it is a decisive action after careful consideration, and it has a very profound intention!"
Mr. Zhu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Old Mao, how do you say this?"
Chairman Mao said leisurely: "Boss, let me ask you a question first. Now that the friction between the two parties has temporarily subsided, but do you really think that Chairman Chiang has given up on the national policy of calming down the internal affairs before resisting foreign aggression?
Do you think the Kuomintang will not stir up trouble and cause friction?"
Mr. Zhu shook his head decisively and said: "That's impossible!"
"Boss, what you said is on point." Chairman Mao said, "This little guy Xu Rui saw this, so he decisively annihilated the 32nd Army. He wanted to use this method to annihilate the 32nd Army."
This is a way to warn Chairman Chiang that you’d better not offend me. If you offend me, you must be mentally prepared to receive the wrath of thunder!”
Mr. Zhu said: "Old Mao, if you say so, Xu Rui is not wrong. He just strictly follows your instructions. Didn't you just say that I will not offend others if they don't offend me? If someone offends me, I will do it."
Prisoner! If Ma Bufang hadn't robbed and killed first, Xu Rui wouldn't have initiated this action. Jiang is calling it his own fault."
Vice Chairman Zhou said: "The principle is this, but the method is a bit extreme. The impact of annihilating a group army is too great. The Kuomintang will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. It would be better if it was a regiment or a division."
"I don't agree with this." Mr. Zhu said, "If it was just a regiment or a division, Chairman Chiang would not care. Now that one guy eats a group army, Chairman Chiang will feel the pain and will have a better memory from now on. Wait.
The next time Chairman Chiang wants to make some small move, he should reconsider it."
After a pause, Mr. Zhu continued: "Furthermore, the Kuomintang has not spoken out until now. It has neither sent an inquiry call to question us, nor has it sent a call to the whole country to make the matter public. This shows that this military operation has been effective. If I had not
If I guess wrong, Chairman Chiang probably wants to suppress this matter."
Chairman Mao said: "The boss is right. Chairman Chiang probably intends to suppress this matter. After all, if this kind of thing is revealed, their faces will be disgraced. So since the Kuomintang is unwilling to make it public, there is no need for us to make it public."
However, Comrade Xu Rui’s behavior cannot be encouraged and must be punished.”
Vice Chairman Zhou also said: "I agree, if most of our commanders act like Comrade Xu Rui and dare to act without consulting their superiors, what is the difference between them and warlords? So I agree with the boss's opinion, first of all
He was dismissed from his post and then transferred to Yan'an to study at the Anti-Japanese University. He must be allowed to study Marxism-Leninism theory."
Chairman Mao shook his head and said: "It is better to seek the opinions of the New Fourth Army first. After all, Comrade Xu Rui is the commander of the Dameishan Military Division. How to deal with it in the end depends on the opinions of the New Fourth Army."
