"A few days ago, all kinds of rumors were rampant about the conflict between Shangguan Yunxiangbu in the Maolin area and the New Fourth Army in Yan'an, but the chairman of this committee wants to tell you that those rumors are all rumors, slander, and the conspiracy of the Japanese invaders to use this to drive a wedge between our party and Yan'an and sabotage the united anti-Japanese front.

"Since the first time I heard about the conflict between the two armies a few days ago, I immediately ordered Shangguan Yunxiang's departments to exercise restraint, and set up an investigation team to go deep into the Maolin area to investigate, and maintain continuous communication with Yan'an on this incident.

"This incident is actually a misunderstanding caused by poor communication between Shangguan Yunxiang and the New Fourth Army Department, and there are even Japanese spies fanning the flames in it, thus escalating the misunderstanding and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

"This incident, although Jiang and Yan'an maintained communication at the first time did not cause major consequences, but it also sounded the alarm for us, in the future, our party and Yan'an must strengthen communication and exchanges, in order to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, let my two parties and the country's fathers and villagers together, sincere cooperation, fight against the Japanese invaders......"

Soon after, the Chongqing side clarified the incident in southern Anhui in the Maolin area, and Chairman Chiang informed the whole country of the incident through radio speeches and newspapers and periodicals.

At the same time, the Yan'an side also published articles and speeches in newspapers and periodicals across the country, attributing the incident to poor communication, severely criticizing Commander Ye, and at the same time revoking Deputy Army Commander Xiang from all his posts in the New Fourth Army and transferring him back to Yan'an for self-examination and study.

The misunderstanding between the New Fourth Army and Shangguan Yunxiang's units has been cleared up, and the New Fourth Army has no choice but to suspend its plan to advance to the north bank of the Yangtze River to resist Japan because of this incident, and return to the base area for repairs.

At the same time, Yan'an appealed to all the fathers, elders, villagers, students and workers all over the country not to believe the rumors, lest the Japanese invaders succeed in their treacherous schemes, and should focus on study, work and production, and use practical actions to support the all-people war of resistance!

"Is this true? Didn't the two sides fight to the death a few days ago? Why did it suddenly become a misunderstanding? ”

"yes, what the hell is going on?"

"No matter what's going on, since the chairman and Yan'an said that it was a misunderstanding, we can't believe it......"

"Anyway, this time we have finally avoided fratricide, which is a good thing after all, I hope that Chongqing and Yan'an can really cooperate sincerely to fight against the Japanese invaders as they said!"

Seeing the news in the newspapers and on the radio, I don't know how many ordinary workers and students couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, but the outcome of the matter was good after all, so people could only choose to believe it.

In this way, a crisis that might have caused the two parties to drift away from Germany and allowed the Japanese to take advantage of the situation was finally eliminated with the efforts of all parties.

"Yaga ......"

On the contrary, the Japanese army saw that the turmoil in southern Anhui had been quelled so quickly, and they had prepared a lot of follow-up measures to destroy the relationship between the two parties, but now they have all worked in vain, and they are gritting their teeth one by one.

"How is this possible?"

A senior general of the Japanese army said hatefully: "Jiang has a small belly and chicken intestines, and for many years he has regarded all the departments in Yan'an as a big trouble, this time he has the opportunity to completely annihilate the main force of the New Fourth Army, but he suddenly changed his mind, this is not his style at all......"

"Yes, I was thinking of taking advantage of the conflict between Guan Yunxiang and the New Fourth Army, and our department turned towards the Maolin area and broke the two divisions, but now they have actually reconciled themselves, how can it be ......?"

Many of the remaining generals said that in the past half a year, they have been passively defensive, and they have been extremely aggrieved, and now they wanted to seize this opportunity to take the initiative to attack, but in the end they could only return in vain, and they gritted their teeth one by one.

"I heard that it was the Trojan County fighter planes that forcibly intervened when Shangguan Yunxiang's troops and the New Fourth Army exchanged fire, and scattered leaflets, which eventually directly caused a truce between the two sides and bought valuable time for the follow-up measures in Yan'an, Chongqing......," an intelligence officer said with a grim face.

"It's Trojan County again, and it's a long way away?"

"This damn bastard, it's really ten gongs, and he's in nine places......"

As soon as I heard this information, I don't know how many generals gritted their steel teeth on the spot, and they couldn't wait to gnaw Lu Yuan's bones, and they could think of the Tsuneoka Kuanji Department and Shangguan Yunxiang Division, which were wiped out by the entire army last year, and the Kawagishi Bunzo Division, which was almost completely wiped out, these generals couldn't even say cruel words.

They feel more and more that Lu Yuan and his Trojan Horse County are simply stones in the pit that can't be smashed and bitten, if you want to move him, this guy is like a hedgehog, whoever moves him will not end well, ignore him, and he jumps out from time to time to disgust people, which is a headache for a cadre of generals in the Japanese military department.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

A general said angrily: "The terrain of Trojan Horse County is indeed not suitable for launching a ground attack on it, it is better to use our army's air superiority to carry out non-stop carpet bombing of Trojan County - he is far away and it is difficult for the Japanese Imperial Army to sleep, and we want him to live rather than die!" ”

"It's easy to say!"

As soon as the words fell, many generals stationed in the Jinchaji and Niushou Mountains retorted in unison: "Don't say that our empire is now in internal and external difficulties, Britain, the United States, France, Russia and other countries have joined forces to blockade the Pacific Ocean, and all kinds of fuel in the military supply are not enough to support the large-scale bombardment of Troma County, let's just say that if this bastard is provoked, if this bastard organizes troops to drive out of Trojan County to the war zone and fight to the death with our army, who can be sure to stop him?" You? ”

If such statements had been made in the past, which were clearly war-phobic, the generals would have had to be court-martialed immediately.

But now, after last year's war, after the reimbursement of almost 50,000 or 60,000 people in three divisions in Trojan County, all the generals have made this fear of Lu Yuan and Trojan County public, and even Okamura Ningji, who succeeded Matsui Ishine as the commander-in-chief of the Far East not long ago, mentioned Lu Yuan for a while, not to mention the rest of the generals.

The passive defense in the past six months has been due to the factors of the shortage of various strategic materials, as well as the reasons why the various station areas in World War I last year lost more than 100,000 elites together, which greatly damaged the strength of the army.

The officer who had suggested the bombing earlier saw the appearance of the general stationed on the outskirts of the Trojan County area, his face was bruised with anger, but he didn't dare to let go of a fart, because he was sure that if he said yes, these guys would probably pick on them immediately, and he wouldn't be fooled by this—unless he was long-lived.
