Cheng Qian's fingers lightly tapped the table, as if he wanted to show that what he said next was very important.
However, he looked around and suddenly said: "As for the war situation in Shaanxi, please introduce it to Brother Zhang first."
The brother he is talking about is Liu Fei, the deputy director of the Military Command Department. He is considered to be the best chief of staff of the national army.
Liu Fei obviously knew what was going to be discussed today, so he curled his lips before speaking and said: "The battle situation in Shaanxi is roughly like this. Now, the 20th Division of the Japanese Army Ushijima Mitsune is stationed in
Yuncheng area. His next task is to break through the Yellow River and enter Shaanxi."
Cheng Qian asked: "Can they cross the Yellow River?"
Liu Fei said: "Currently, the only one defending the Yellow River is Sun Weiru's Fourth Army. The information I have is that the Fourth Army has two armies, Zhao Shoushan's 38th Army, and Li Zhongxing's 96th Army.
The 38th Army has the 17th Division and the 46th Independent Brigade. The 96th Army has the 177th Division and the 47th Independent Brigade. These two armies have a total of only more than 20,000 people.
A man does not have heavy weapons. It is impossible for him to defend the Yellow River!"
Cheng Qian nodded, but said nothing. The other officers just nodded, but also said nothing.
Chen Cheng was a little surprised. He looked at Cheng Qian and said: "Brother Songyun, I know that the Japanese 20th Division is a Category A division with 18,000 soldiers, artillery, tanks, and aircraft. The Fourth Army
I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
Cheng Qian nodded, "It is indeed difficult."
Chen Cheng immediately said: "Shouldn't we mobilize the army to reinforce it?"
At this time, Xu Yongchang, the head of the Military Command Department, said: "Brother Ci Xiu, the problem now is this. After the Japanese army crosses the Yellow River, should they go north or south?"
Chen Cheng immediately understood the mystery. To the north, the Communists would attack northern Shaanxi! To the south, it would be possible to enter Sichuan via Hanzhong! If so, Chongqing would be in danger!
He stared at Xu Yongchang and said: "Brother Cichen, what if the Japanese army goes south!"
Xu Yongchang said: "Brother Cixiu, what we are discussing today is a prediction issue. Predict whether the Japanese army will go north or south! If it is predicted that the Japanese army will go south, we must mobilize the army now. If we predict that the Japanese army will go north, then
There is no need to mobilize now. You also know that our military strength in various battlefields is also very tight!"
Chen Cheng understood that what they meant was that if the Japanese army attacked the Communists in the north, then let them attack!
He guessed in his mind that this was probably what the Chairman of the Committee meant! After all, the Communist Party of China had been a serious problem for him many years ago! Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were now cooperating, the Chairman's biggest concern was still the Communist Party in northern Shaanxi!
He looked at the people at the table and realized that no one would speak for the people in northern Shaanxi!
But if the Japanese army really attacks north, wouldn’t it become a joke if I would be responsible for cooperation with the Communist Party of Northern Shaanxi in the future?
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "How do you predict that the Japanese army will attack north?"
At this time, Cheng Qian nodded to Zheng Jiemin, who had been silent.
Zheng Jiemin saw Cheng Qian's eyes clearly and turned to Chen Cheng with a smile, "Mr. Chen, our basis is as follows. First, you must have read the statement of Japanese Prime Minister Konoe? On November 3, he said in the statement
: If our National Government 'adheres to the policy of resisting Japan and tolerating the Communists, the empire will never withdraw its troops!' There are two points in his sentence, one is to resist Japan, and the other is to tolerate the Communists! I analyze and judge that the point of 'tolerating the Communists' is the Japanese army
the key of!"
Chief Chen stared at him sternly, "Where did you come from!"
Zheng Jiemin said: "This is the second point I want to make. The Communist Party in northern Shaanxi is actually empty, and there are not many troops left! Most of their troops have been divided into small groups and sneaked into the occupied areas to establish the so-called
Base area behind enemy lines! They killed a Japanese soldier today and another Japanese soldier tomorrow. Although it had no effect, it made the Japanese very angry!"
Chief Chen then asked: "What else!"
Zheng Jiemin continued: "Third, the Japanese army wiped out the communists in northern Shaanxi. Although the results were not great, the political impact was huge! The Japanese high-level officials must be able to see this!"
Chen Cheng stared at him motionless. For a moment, he turned to Cheng Qian and said, "Brother Songyun, what does it mean to be the leader of the committee in this matter?"
Cheng Qian smiled faintly and said softly: "Committee Chairman hopes that the Japanese army will go north."
Upon hearing this, Chief Chen stopped talking. Although he was a modest man, he was loyal to the Chairman of the Committee. If this was what the Chairman of the Committee meant, he had nothing to say.
At this time, Deputy Commander Liu Fei stood up and seemed to be leaving, but he still pointed his finger at the table and said: "This is an adventure! It is an adventure with huge risks!"
10-33
At this time, Li Chengguo returned home and sat at the small table. What he was thinking about was what Chief Liu said!
An adventure with huge risks! If the Japanese army crosses the Yellow River and goes south instead of north! Chongqing will be lost! Because there are no troops nearby! This political impact will be even greater! It may even ruin the overall situation of the national war of resistance!
However, others spoke lightly! With such a high status, Chief Chen stopped speaking once he heard that this was the intention of the committee leader! What more could he say!
He looked at the map in front of him repeatedly, feeling extremely worried!
Qin Yali, who had been lying in bed, quietly got up. She poured a cup of tea from the teapot and brought it to Chengguo. Then she said softly: "Chengguo, it's very late, so you should go to bed early."
But what she saw in her eyes was that what Chengguo was looking at was a map of Shaanxi!
She couldn't help but think to herself, is Shaanxi so important? I can't see it at all!

Shanghai, Japanese Army Headquarters.
The department of the Japanese military police responsible for processing passes is not in the Japanese military headquarters building, but in a row of bungalows opposite. On a window, there is a piece of paper with the words "Pass Processing" written on it.
At the beginning of the year, when Chen Zifeng and others shelled the Japanese headquarters building, this row of bungalows was also hit by a shell, and I heard that several people were killed! But now, the damaged bungalows have been repaired, and pass business continues to be processed here!
Liao Ruolan stood in line and waited for half an hour before it was her turn.
She told the Japanese officer at the window her name, as well as the names of other people waiting to apply for passes, and asked if the application was completed or if there was any information missing.
The officer raised his head and stared at her, as if to identify her, and stared at her for a full minute!
He flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "It's being processed. I'll let you know when it's done!"
Liao Ruolan understood that arguing with him would not have any effect! He was just being ordered to answer this way!
She couldn't figure it out. The Japanese obviously knew who she was, and they also knew who the people who applied for the passes were! But why didn't the Japanese military police arrest them? And why didn't they apply for passes for them? Either arrest, or apply for them.
, are all reasonable! Neither arresting nor handling is unreasonable!
That’s great, I’ll just keep waiting! I want to see what the final result is!
This is what Liao Ruolan is thinking!

Li Chengguo was in Chongqing and could only stay for one day.
Chief Chen said to him last night: "Please spend some time with my wife tomorrow. We will leave the day after tomorrow."
Therefore, during this day, Li Chengguo stayed with Yali. He held her hand, asked about her health, asked about her diet, and asked Wang Ma if she liked it and what was wrong with her.
Qin Yali kept lingering by his side, talking to him about this and that. Then she went downstairs to discuss with Wang Ma, what to cook for Chengguo, it must be light, delicious, and show her affection.
After dinner, he said to Qin Yali: "Lie down for a while, I want to write a letter."
Qin Yali knew that she couldn't ask any more questions, so she made tea for him, then leaned on the bed and watched Li Chengguo sitting at the small table writing a letter. She guessed, who was he writing to?
Li Chengguo was extremely worried about the war in Shaanxi. He thought about it all night, but he couldn't think of any good solution. He finally considered writing a letter. He couldn't explain it clearly, but he believed that Mr. Yiwei could understand it.
Mr. Yiwei's surname is Ye, and his full name is Ye Jianying. Yiwei is his former name. Mr. Yiwei was once the most famous instructor at Huangpu Military Academy and the person he respected the most. Mr. Yiwei is now a big shot in the Communist Party of China.
Mr. Wei is currently in Chongqing and is one of the leaders of the Communist Party of China delegation. Li Chengguo believes that Mr. Yiwei must remember him.
He laid out the letter and first wrote "Mr. Yiwei's Journal".
He thought over and over again and finally wrote the following words: "I have listened to the teachings and will never forget them for the rest of my life. I am currently unclear about something and ask for your advice. The 20th Division of the Japanese Army is currently stationed in Yuncheng, Shanxi, and its next step seems to be to cross the Yellow River.
There is only one army guarding the Yellow River, which seems difficult to stop. However, after the Japanese army crosses the river, will it go north or south? I have thought about it again and again. No matter whether it goes north or south, there will be disastrous consequences. I wonder if you, sir, have any good advice to teach you throughout your life?
.”
His final signature was: Study for a lifetime.
It was his name, but no one knew it. But Mr. Yiwei knew it.
After he finished writing the letter, he put on his coat and said to Qin Yali: "You can rest. I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon." After that, he went downstairs.
The person he is looking for now is Zhai Zhenchuan.
He heard Zhai Zhenchuan say that in Shanghai, the Ninth Army had insufficient military pay. In the end, people from the Communist Party organized donations to fill the gap. He guessed that Zhai Zhenchuan might know people from the Communist Party who could help him send this letter.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengguo walked a long way and finally found Zhai Zhenchuan's home. When he walked in and mentioned this, Zhai Zhenchuan said that he didn't know anyone from the same side!
Li Chengguo said cautiously: "Brother Zhenchuan, are you worried about me? I just asked you to help deliver a letter!"
Zhai Zhenchuan immediately said: "Brother Chengguo, you and I hit it off right away in Wuhan, and our temperaments and temperaments are very compatible. That's why I tell you the truth. I did receive help from the Communist Party in the past. But the person I know is not in Chongqing at this time!"
In Chongqing, I don’t know who is from the Communist Party!”?
