Chapter 68: Change of Plan
"Baga, are the people of China crazy? Why the sudden attack? The New Third Army under the command of Lin Biao suddenly appeared under the city of Changchun, which made the Japanese troops stationed in Changchun panic, and before they could figure out the reality of the New Third Army, the Japanese army in Changchun mistakenly chose to avoid the battle, and the New Third Army took advantage of this opportunity to begin to clear the Japanese strongholds around Changchun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the New Third Army under the command of Lin Biao did not have so many armored weapons, they had helicopter gunships provided by the umbrella to help them fight, and the fortifications and strongholds built by the Japanese army around Changchun were not worth mentioning at all.
The sudden appearance of the Chinese army under the city of Changchun would somewhat make the hearts of the Japanese army in the northeast fluctuate, but at this time, Zhuo Fei, who was in Jiaodong, was once again urgently summoned to Chongqing. "I don't know what these high-ranking officials think, do they still think that China can coexist peacefully with Japan? Are the civilians and soldiers who have died under the bullets and bayonets of the Japanese army all these years not worth mentioning in their eyes? On the military plane back to Chongqing, Zhuo Fei finally couldn't help but lose his temper, and the attendant sent by Chiang Kai-shek to pick up Zhuo Fei in Jiaodong was speechless, and could only be very embarrassed with a smile.
Zhuo Fei was urgently recalled to Chongqing, mainly because the Japanese cabinet sent a special envoy again, and there were also forgiving and forgiving opinions in Chongqing's high-level officials. There have always been high-ranking pro-Japanese officials in Chongqing, and it was the efforts of these people who contributed to the ceasefire between China and Japan that day, but now it is when the Chinese army has the advantage on the battlefield, Zhuo Fei really can't figure out how these pro-Japanese factions dare to jump out and say that they should be forgiving and forgiving.
When I returned to Chongqing, it was already completely dark, and there were not only guards sent by Chiang Kai-shek waiting at the airport, but also an action team of the military command. "You're saying that someone might be working against me?" Looking at Dai Li, who was disguised as an ordinary military commander action team, Zhuo Fei showed a face full of disbelief, Chongqing is the base camp of the military command, and more than ten days ago, he used his identification skills to conduct a round of search in Chongqing, he didn't believe that the Japanese spies would be so capable.
In the face of Zhuo Fei's disbelief and questioning, Dai Li's old face turned red, and he explained in a low voice with some embarrassment, "It's not the Japanese this time, according to the information that our military commander currently has, it may be that some people in the army are operating this matter, and some people in the government are also involved." Dai Li's answer made Zhuo Fei cry and laugh, or the old saying is good, Chinese are laymen in external fighting, but they are all experts in internal fighting.
"What good do they get by assassinating me? Get promoted and get rich? I don't think so. Zhuo Fei looked at Dai Li with a smile, and his words were full of disdain. Dai Li did not answer Zhuo Fei's inquiry again, but ordered the convoy to split in two, and he and Zhuo Fei took a very ordinary car to make a long detour to the South Shore Villa, while the convoy that served as the bait drove into the loss according to the original route. Half an hour later, when Zhuo Fei was personally escorted to the South Bank villa by Dai Li, he learned that the convoy that served as the decoy was really attacked on the way, and the action team that Dai Li brought to the airport was killed or wounded.
"Looks like someone really wants my life." Faced with the crisis, Zhuo Fei had to take precautions, and immediately ordered Huffman to be transferred from Vivian to Chongqing to protect himself. The convoy sent to the airport to pick up Zhuo Fei was attacked in the urban area, and Chiang Kai-shek was already aware of it, and unlike Zhuo Fei's quietness, Chiang Kai-shek, who learned of this, was furious, not only reprimanded Dai Li, but also specially transferred a new army to defend Chongqing into the urban area for a carpet investigation.
"Jiang Gong, forget it, it's just a small matter, and you can't do it like that. Some brainless ants who can only hide in the shadows, and if you want to clean them up, you can do it at any time. Zhuo Fei was anxious to get to the point, but instead persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to transfer the troops of the New Army out of the city, and in his opinion, the most important thing at the moment was not to find out the murderer who attacked him, but to find out how many people in the government were on the side of the Japanese.
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly recalled Zhuo Fei to Chongqing for this matter, because Chiang Kai-shek was not willing to negotiate any cease-fire and peace with the Japanese at this time. The high-level government officials were all together, but Zhuo Fei was alone looking through the latest battle reports that had just been sent back to Chongqing from the front line, as far as these latest battle reports from the front line were concerned, the new army troops in the northeast had already occupied a clear advantage, as long as the ammunition supply in the rear could keep up, it was just around the corner to drive the Japanese army out of the northeast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese have sent a special envoy to Chongqing again, and just like last time, the Japanese have come to talk to us this time. Although we have not yet formally met with the Japanese envoy, we have begun to show that the Japanese are sincerely seeking peace this time, based on some information we have detected from the periphery. At this point in the war, both we and Japan are under great pressure and losses, especially us, most of the country has already been destroyed, so I personally believe that it is time to end this war. He Yingqin, who had been secretly associated with the puppet government in Nanjing, spoke first, and his remarks immediately attracted the echo of some high-level government officials.
Zhuo Fei was indifferent to He Yingqin's words, just carefully flipped through the battle report in his hand, and after Chiang Kai-shek stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, Zhuo Fei raised his head and smiled at the high-level government officials seated, "The people here are all seniors, boy, I just want to ask one sentence, since the Japanese soldiers stepped into our Chinese territory, how many contracts have they signed with us?" But when did the Japanese really abide by those agreements? ”
Zhuo Fei's rhetorical question made everyone in the audience speechless, because they all knew that the Japanese were basically people who did not believe in their words, and it would never make sense to reason with the Japanese. Seeing that no one answered his rhetorical question, Zhuo Fei nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "Since everyone knows that there is no way to reason with the Japanese, then why do you still think that you can really negotiate a truce with the Japanese?" We seem to have suffered this kind of loss more than once, right? ”
As soon as Zhuo Fei's words fell, Chiang Kai-shek's face turned red uncontrollably, although he knew that Zhuo Fei's words just now were not accusing himself, but Chiang Kai-shek, who was ashamed, couldn't control his embarrassed look. "I have just read the latest battle report from the front-line troops, and if everything goes well, it will only take two more months for our troops to be transferred north to the northeast, and the Japanese army will be completely driven out of the three northeastern provinces. I really can't think of why, at this time, your predecessors proposed to negotiate an armistice with the Japanese army. Don't you all read these front-line battle reports? ”
Zhuo Fei's words were already a bit condemning, but the high-level government officials sitting here were still speechless, how they didn't know about the war on the front line, and because of this, the Japanese would send a special envoy to Chongqing to sue for peace. "It is an indisputable fact that we are partners with you under the umbrella, and we have been allies on the same bench since we first established a Jewish gathering point in Ruili. At present, it is already a critical moment in the Northeast Campaign, and this is related to the interests of our protective umbrella, and if you want to ask me whether I agree to peace talks with Japan, my answer is ---- disagree. ”
The main battle faction led by Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong was still worried about this matter, but they didn't expect Zhuo Fei to rely on himself to almost mess up this matter. It seems that he doesn't want to give others a chance to speak, Zhuo Fei continued, "The United States and Australia have launched a counteroffensive against the Philippines, and the fleet under the umbrella has also been transferred to the Philippine battlefield to help in the war. ”
"The current war is clearly in our favor, but why are you still proposing an armistice with the Japanese? I can't think of any reason, and I don't want to think about it, but I just want to say, don't be a sinner for your country and your nation, because you can't afford to gamble and you can't afford to lose. Looking around at the speechless peace negotiators, Zhuo Fei silently lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Zhuo Fei actually knew that it was difficult to persuade the peace negotiators in the government to change their minds with just some innocuous words, but this was already the best he could do. As for other matters, it was up to Chiang Kai-shek to solve it himself, and he was just an outsider after all. No one wants to be called a traitor and traitor by a young man like Zhuo Fei, so after Zhuo Fei finished speaking, although the high-level people sitting there did not answer, most of them showed resentment in their eyes when they looked at Zhuo Fei.
Zhuo Fei knew this but didn't pay attention to it at all, if it wasn't for Chiang Kai-shek sending his attendants as a special envoy this time, Zhuo Fei would not have come to Chongqing at all, and he would not have attended this meeting. In short, in any case, the proposal for peace talks put forward by the main peace faction was disrupted by Zhuo Fei, and before those black hands who wanted to leave an unforgettable memory for Zhuo Fei could react, Zhuo Fei had already changed his mind and returned to Jiaodong overnight on a military plane.
Knowing that Zhuo Fei was almost assassinated in Chongqing, Hefman, who failed to rush to Chongqing to protect Zhuo Fei, still blamed himself, but Zhuo Fei didn't care very much. "Alright, it's just an accident, and besides, I'm not nothing. Next time, I promise that the next time I go out again, I will definitely take you and the men you trained. Zhuo Fei's repeated assurances finally made Huffman's expression soften, but after Zhuo Fei returned to the headquarters, he immediately called a meeting of his combat staff officers.
"There are already voices in Chongqing that want to talk to the Japanese, which is very abnormal, so we can't expect too much from Chongqing. Next, we have to adjust the battle plan, order the troops stationed in Huangshan to carry out the zero operation plan, and we will help the Chongqing side make a decision. ”
