1345, the communist army occupies territory everywhere!
He opened the notebook in his hand at this time, just like on February 4th, after watching Mr. Makino leave, he slowly opened the pile of letters! He quickly understood the contents of the pile of letters.

In fact, Zhang Bingzhou has been studying this pile of letter paper since February 4th, and even throughout the Spring Festival holiday! Because until the end, he always has a little difficulty believing the conclusion he has drawn!
This stack of letter paper contains quite detailed information about the anti-Japanese base areas established by the Chinese Communist Party’s Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army in North and Central China!
Zhang Bingzhou was very confused about this information at first, and could not even see what the Japanese intentions were. But as he learned more about the various forces in eastern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, he unexpectedly saw the hidden intentions in it!
He felt that the Japanese, especially the Japanese who collected and compiled this information, were too naive, and even took it for granted, thinking that if they formulated such a plan, the situation would have to develop according to their ideas!
The situation is always changing! The goals hidden in this document are impossible to achieve! Let’s not talk about how the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in eastern Anhui and northern Jiangsu will act! Any combat operation is ever-changing and no one can control it.
live!
As long as the New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River crosses the Yangtze River, there will be no problems! It's that simple!
However, no matter how naive the Japanese are, the information they gave him is still very detailed, and they ask him to do it according to his understanding, and that’s it! Well, then, just do it according to my understanding!
I don’t care what the final result is!

The conference room on the third floor of the Military Commission was very quiet. All the officers looked at Zhang Bingzhou who was standing in front of the map.
At this time, Zhang Bingzhou took a deep breath, looked at the officers present with a somewhat serious expression, and said in a very calm tone: "Sirs, I have done some research recently, and the content is about the base areas established by the Communist Army in North and Central China.
.After I sorted it out, I was also shocked by these situations, so I took them to today’s meeting and reported them to all the superiors.”
The officers at the table were also a little surprised. Most of them knew about the Communist base areas. They just occupied a piece of land or some places. Is there anything in it that shocked him?
Zhang Bingzhou looked stern, grabbed the wooden stick and pointed it at the map, raised his voice and said: "Every officer knows the causes and consequences of the Pingxingguan battle on September 25, 1937! I won't say it! But the battle is over.
After that, we withdrew, and the Japanese troops also withdrew, but Nie, the deputy commander of the 115th Division of the Communist Army, did not leave! They incited the people in the Wutai Mountain area, expanded their armed forces, and fought guerrillas. They quickly established local government
! By November 7 of the same year, they had established the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines between Pingsui, Zhengtai, Tongpu and Pinghan roads! By the end of 1938, they had occupied more than 70 counties in total.
, with a population of 12 million and an armed force of more than 100,000! Sirs, it only took them a little more than a year!"
At this time, the faces of the officers present here have become serious.
They all know about Nie's base area. But it covers a large area, has a large population, and has a large number of troops, and it only took a little more than a year! This surprised them so much!
Zhang Bingzhou continued: "In September 1937, in order to cooperate with the First National Army in the battles in Xinkou and Taiyuan, He Long's 120th Division went to the northwest region of Shanxi. However, after the battle, the First National Army and the Japanese army withdrew.
, but the 120th Division also did not leave! Just a few months later, by January 1938, they established the Shanxi-Suiyuan Anti-Japanese Base Area in the northwest region of Shanxi! Occupying fourteen counties! The communist army
The 120th Division has expanded from 8,000 men when crossing the Yellow River eastward to 25,000 men! It has only been more than four months!"
He pointed a wooden pole at the map and said, "This is the area! And more! Sirs, please continue to listen to me!"
He flipped through his notebook and continued: "In November 1937, Taiyuan fell and the First National Army was forced to retreat. However, the 129th Division of the Communist Army sent a large number of personnel into Pinghan Road in southeastern Shanxi.
To the west, they fought guerrilla attacks in the Shanxi-Hebei, Hebei-Henan and southern Hebei areas! By April 1938, they first established the southern Hebei base area. In August of the same year, they entered the south of the Zhang River and the north of the Daokou-Qinghua railway.
The northern Henan area. So far, starting from Zhengtai Road in the north, Daoqing Road in the south, Pinghan Road in the east, and Tongpu Road in the west, they established a larger Shanxi-Hebei-Henan anti-Japanese base area! And the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base established by Nie
The base areas echo each other from a distance! If the Japanese army's transportation lines were not isolated, they would be connected together!"
At this time, Chief He interjected: "Now, the communist army is occupying territory everywhere! There is no end! It is really abominable!"
Zhang Bingzhou said: "Yes, sir. I will continue to say that starting from June 1938, under the instigation of the Communist Party, the uprising armed forces in various parts of Shandong used the designation of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and were located in central Shandong and western Shandong.
, Lunan, Jiaodong, Qinghe and other areas have opened anti-Japanese base areas. They are blooming almost everywhere! These armed forces have now been unified into the Shandong column of the Eighth Route Army! At the same time, the first part of the 115th Division has entered the area west of Weishan Lake and established the Huxi Base Area
!”
He used the wooden stick to read the map again, "Also, the New Fourth Army in the south is also crazy! In April 1938, the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army occupied Shucheng, Wuwei area. In July, the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army entered southern Jiangsu.
, established a base area in southern Jiangsu! Its third detachment moved from Yansi to the Yangtze River in southern Anhui. In October, the New Fourth Army guerrilla detachment entered eastern Henan. In January 1939, the New Fourth Army's Henan and Hubei Independent Guerrilla Brigade went deep into southern Henan and eastern Hubei.
, behind enemy lines in central Hubei, and established Hubei-Henan border base areas! In May 1939, after the Jiangbei Command of the New Fourth Army was established, its fourth and fifth detachments entered the areas on both sides of the Huainan-Jinpu Railway. They blossomed in all directions and established everywhere.
Base area!”
There was silence in the conference room, so the senior generals looked at the map on the wall with stern expressions!
Zhang Bingzhou turned to Chief He and said with a cold face: "Sir, I want to summarize a few things from these situations!"
Chief He nodded vigorously, "Say it, say it, tell it all!"
Zhang Bingzhou took a breath, with stern eyes and a low voice, and said: "First, every time the Communist army established a base area, it was almost always after we fought with the Japanese army that they took advantage of it! It can almost be said that we fought against the Japanese.
After that, the Communist army and the Japanese army were busy dividing their territories! The Japanese army occupied cities and transportation lines! The Communist army occupied the vast countryside! Second, wherever the Communist army arrived, they quickly established local political power and intercepted government taxes.
! Third, they rapidly expanded their armed forces. When the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, there were less than 10,000 people! When the New Fourth Army was first formed, it had only 4,000 to 5,000 people! But by the beginning of this year, the Communist Army had reached 470,000 people! They hope
In the short term, let the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army grow to one million people! Or even more!"
At this time, the expressions of everyone in the conference room became even more serious!
Almost all the officers here have dealt with and fought with the communist army. They have encircled and suppressed the Red Army many times! They have been encircling and suppressing them for ten years! They were forced to flee east and west! When they finally fled to northern Shaanxi, only the remaining
Thousands of people!
Only a few years later, they are back again! And even more powerful than before! In North China, except for the big cities and transportation lines occupied by the Japanese, almost all of their territory is theirs! They are getting bigger!
Chief He tapped the table with his fingers and said seriously: "We should really think about these issues!"

There was silence in the conference room for a long time. Everyone's expressions were serious!
Chief He finally looked up and stared at Zhang Bingzhou and said, "Brother Bingzhou, you have said so much, do you have any suggestions for us?"
Zhang Bingzhou said softly: "Sir, I have two suggestions. Don't make me angry!"
Chief He said: "Okay, tell us your suggestions and let us all listen to them!"
Zhang Bingzhou opened the notebook in his hand again and looked down.
He didn't actually need to read it! In the pile of information Mr. Makino handed him, there were these two suggestions at the end! He could see that there was a great meaning behind the information the Japanese gave him! He just couldn't believe it!
He can sum it up in one sentence, which means "dividing the Kuomintang and the Communist Party"! To add another sentence, it means sabotaging the war of resistance!
He raised his head and said: "Sir, my first suggestion is that we must use all means and all methods to limit the development of the Communist Party! Attack them! What's more, we should let the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army go north of the Yellow River! They are not trying to resist Japan.
Well, let them fight the Japanese army north of the Yellow River!"
A smile appeared on Chief He's face, "Very good, good suggestion! I will consider it! Anything else!"
Zhang Bingzhou continued: "The first suggestion is general, as long as the leaders understand it. The second suggestion is specific."
He pointed at the map with a wooden pole and said: "I have recently studied the war situation in various places. It is easier to say about other places, but Han Deqin's Northern Jiangsu theater may be in big trouble. Chief Han is a very capable commander, and in Northern Jiangsu
Many Japanese troops were contained behind enemy lines. But last September, the fifth detachment of the New Fourth Army, Luo Binghui, invaded Lai'an County and established the Huainan Jinpu Road East Anti-Japanese Base Area centered on Banta Town, Li'an County. However, this place cut off Chief Han from
The only way to get supplies from the rear! Therefore, Chief Han is currently in a very dangerous situation! Chief Han can either retreat from northern Jiangsu, but the Japanese army will be able to free up more divisions to attack us, which will be detrimental to the overall situation of the War of Resistance! If Chief Han cannot withdraw,
We should take effective measures to open up the transportation access to Banta Town! There is no other way!"
Chief He walked to the map and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he said seriously: "Very good, I will consider your suggestion!"

In the afternoon of this day, He Yingqin rarely walked into Bai Chongxi's office.
Also going in with him was Liu Fei, deputy director of the Military Command Department. Liu Fei was a close confidant of Bai Chongxi. He Yingqin came with him, which makes this matter a bit interesting!
