Chapter 123: Yan'an's Response
"Commission, at present, the most important directions of the Eighth Route Army are divided into three, the defense line in the Shanxi direction, the response in the Hebei direction, and the urgency in the Shandong direction, these three points The Eighth Route Army can barely maintain the status quo, and there is no difference between the confrontation between us and the devil on the front line."
"Since the Eighth Route Army wants to expand its army to Gansu and Ningxia, we will ask their troops left in Shaanxi to enter Hubei through the Ankang area and participate in the Wuhan War in the name of the overall situation."
"In this way, it not only reduces the threat of the Eighth Route Army, but also can deal with the menacing devils again, killing two birds with one stone."
After Chen Cheng finished speaking, the chairman of the committee immediately nodded, rather than letting the Eighth Route Army develop rapidly, it is better to consume their troops in the Wuhan area, so that the contribution will be greater.
Many of the generals present pouted, and it was strange that the Eighth Route Army would agree, Chongqing had no ability to transfer troops at all, and at a glance they knew that they would have to fight a war of words.
But public opinion can't suppress Yan'an, and now the people are looking forward to a few more victories of the Eighth Route Army, so Chongqing can't even find an excuse.
The chairman of the committee also knew this in his heart, he was ready to talk to Yan'an, and it was best to seize a large amount of evidence of the Eighth Route Army's troops.
"Send a telegram to discuss with Yan'an, and at the same time ask the intelligence department to find out the situation in Shaanxi, if it doesn't work, then don't blame me for doing it."
The chairman's tone made many generals secretly sneer, under the black hand, now the Eighth Route Army is not our black hand is good, just like the original Jin Sui Army, calculated and calculated, and finally fell into Henan and it is difficult to recover.
No one dared to oppose the chairman's decision, especially on the matter of the Eighth Route Army, and when the meeting was over, everyone disappeared into the official residence with all kinds of thoughts.
A telegram from Chongqing made the chairman of Yan'an smile, and the chairman wanted to fish again, but the chairman's grand strategy had already been arranged, and he would not pull it over.
"Chairman, the weapons and equipment of the three divisions, the chairman is really generous."
The boss's ridicule made several people laugh, and the chairman lit a cigarette and said: "If it had been put in the past, maybe we would have agreed, but now, we only need to invest heavily in the arsenal, we don't want eggs, but hens that can lay eggs." ”
"Hahahaha"
Several people immediately burst into laughter, the chairman's analogy is very vivid, now that the arsenal is in hand, there is nothing they can't do.
The boss was just about to speak, but Chief of Staff Ye opened the room and walked in, putting the telegram on the table.
"Chairman, telegram from Vice Chairman Zhou of Chongqing, top secret."
The chairman's eyes narrowed, he took the telegram and read it, and the telegram said two things, first, Vice Chairman Zhou was warned about the delivery of supplies to Yan'an, and second, it was the general content of dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the conference room.
Putting down the telegram, the chairman's eyes flashed, it seemed that the chairman was not honest again, and the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army made the chairman unable to sit still.
A few minutes later, several chiefs in the room had finished reading the telegram, and the boss's eyes were full of murder, and he wanted to play the game of borrowing a knife to kill people.
"Look at what he means, he wants to transfer troops and front-line commanders, I'm afraid he will hit Li Ping and others with his ideas."
After the boss finished speaking, the chairman's eyes lit up, and he said slightly: "Give Li Ping a telegram and let him express his views." ”
Several leaders rolled their eyes when they heard this, only the boss showed a little other look, and immediately motioned to Chief of Staff Ye to send a telegram, and several people immediately began to discuss.
Li Ping was stunned when he received the telegram, how could such a big thing ask his head, only Senior Commander Chen smiled, laughing so much that Li Ping didn't know what to do.
Since he received the order, Li Ping looked at the map and thought about it, looking at the whole territory of Shaanxi, an idea flashed in Li Ping's mind, and he laughed after thinking about it.
"Send a telegram to the chairman and send me my thoughts."
Li Ping began to tell his suggestion, and Master Chen on the side touched his head and broke out in a cold sweat when he listened.
The telegram came to Yan'an, and Chief of Staff Ye came to the room of the chairman and others with a strange face after translating it, and read the telegram out.
"Chairman, Li Ping's suggestion is that we agree, but there is one condition, if we want our Eighth Route Army to join the Wuhan battlefield, we must accompany General Dingwen's troops to the south, and we will take over the entire territory of Shaanxi."
"If Dingwen's troops don't move, we will have an excuse to shirk, and now Dingwen's troops are doing nothing, staying in Xi'an, it is better to join other battlefields."
Chief of Staff Ye said the big meaning of the telegram, the chairman was almost choked by the smoke, and several other leaders also looked at him speechlessly, this idea was too whimsical.
After a little silence, the boss thought of Li Ping's intention, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Chairman, Li Ping's suggestion is good, think about it, what is the effect of leaving Dingwen's nearly 200,000 troops in Shaanxi." ”
"It's nothing more than to control these former Northwest Army and Northeast Army for their own use, and another role is to monitor us."
"Now that there is no enemy in the vicinity, since the chairman wants to transfer our Eighth Route Army to the south, we demand that Dingwen's troops must go south."
After the boss finished speaking, the chairman has come back to the taste, this method is indeed feasible, your chairman wants to use public opinion to attack the Eighth Route Army, our Eighth Route Army can also take advantage of the situation, your 200,000 troops stay in Xi'an and waste food and are not transferred to the front line, it is clear that you don't believe in our Eighth Route Army, this is not what a national leader should do.
Not only did the chairman understand, but several other leaders also came back to their senses, and several of them looked at each other and smiled.
Yan'an's telegram was quickly replied, claiming that the situation in North China was bad and that there were no troops to adjust, and at the same time hoped that the chairman of the committee would provide money and materials to support them in the war.
The chairman of the committee who received the telegram was angry, but he didn't expect to be slapped by the Eighth Route Army.
"Mother hippie, it seems that there is no way to talk, and they must be allowed to send troops."
"When the news is released, it is said that Yan'an does not cooperate with the front-line operations, and he knows that he is stationing troops in the rear, despising the leader, and destroying the unified line of the Anti-Japanese War."
The chairman of the committee decided to be ruthless, and the sudden news made many people sigh in their hearts, this is the rhythm of the two sides fighting again, can't they sincerely unite to beat the devil out?
The news spread vigorously, and Yan'an's intelligence networks in various places also collected the news and sent it to Yan'an.
"Chairman, the people still support us and understand our situation." Chongqing said that the Eighth Route Army was stationed in the rear to expand, but the people also made it clear that these territories were taken back by the Eighth Route Army from the devils, and the chairman's statement was untenable.
The chairman nodded, there are always people who can understand right and wrong, the trouble is these people from all walks of life, one telegram after another makes the chairman have a headache, they are afraid that the Eighth Route Army will clash with Chongqing again, and they will be cheap devils in vain.
There is another point, Yan'an must stand up and explain, otherwise the three of them will become tigers, and the taste will change.
