Huangshan Villa in the tense discussion of countermeasures, the lights of Hongyan Village are also shining, this crisis is very different from the previous crises, after the beginning of each crisis in the past, there are always a large number of people who are obviously spies outside Hongyan Village, they surround and monitor Hongyan Village, "and the village is also like a big enemy" cleaned up all the documents, the staff are all armed with guns, and the mouth of the men plus double posts. \、Qｂ⑤.coM\

But this time it was different, there was nothing abnormal outside the village, and there were even several fewer fixed monitoring points set up by the Kuomintang, but the tense atmosphere in the village was no less than before, or even more tense.

The main leaders of the Southern Bureau were all in the office where Zhou En came, "The atmosphere in the office was solemn, Zhou Enlai had just finished reading out the telegram of the Central Committee and Xuan Xia's father, the telegram of Xuan Xia's father was to inform the results of the negotiations with Zhuang Jihua, and the telegram of the Central Committee was to inform the decision of the Central Committee" in the telegram to once again ask them to unite with the "people" to launch a political offensive and disintegrate the military offensive of the Kuomintang.

At the same time, he also told them that the Central Committee had also made preparations in the army and a half, that the First Division of the New Fourth Army and the 115 left-behind troops "had been unified and reorganized into Shandong troops, with Chen as commander and Su Y as deputy commander, and the Jiaodong troops had been reorganized into the Jiaodong Column of Shandong Troops, with Xu Syou, the commander of the sentence. Under the leadership of Xu Shiyou, the glue column had already advanced to the vicinity of Laiyang, preparing to respond to the First Division of the New Fourth Army. But even so, the Kuomintang still has an overwhelming advantage in the balance of forces between us and the enemy.

"Everyone is clear about the telegram from the Central Committee that the situation in Shandong is grim," Zhou En came to scan the venue: "The Kuomintang has mobilized more than 100,000 troops and is preparing to besiege our Yimeng Mountain base area. The instructions of the Central Committee were very clear, and the Hao Pengju incident was nominally caused by the internal affairs of the Kuomintang army, but in fact it was caused by Chiang Kai-shek's annexation of miscellaneous cards. Now Zhuang Jihua's attitude is very stubborn, and he must ask us to make Hao Pengju, but this is something we must not accept. ”

"Why did Zhuang Jihua's attitude become so tough", "Dong Bwu was a little puzzled: "What does he want to get?" ”

Although this incident is dominated by Zhuang Jihua, Dong Bwu still feels very good about him, "The central government has always believed that Zhuang Jihua is an object that can be united, but this time Zhuang Jihua's reaction was unexpected by them, and his attitude was extremely tough. In the past, the same thing happened to the Kuomintang in the reorganization of the miscellaneous army, Shanxi, Hebei, and Suiyuan, and "after these miscellaneous army generals led to the side of the Eighth Route Army, the Kuomintang no longer pursued it, but I did not expect that "this time Zhuang Jihua was very abnormal" and even did not hesitate to risk triggering a military conflict between the two parties.

"What he wants, to blow the prestige of our party, to warn other miscellaneous generals, this is what he wants." Bogu said coldly that he has never had a good impression of Zhuang Jihua, "thinking that he is a reactionary under the banner of defending the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", and is worse than Chen Cheng and Chen Lifu.

Zhou Ganglai nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Bogu's judgment, Ye Jying sighed, he blamed the Shandong Branch a little in his heart, why did he have to contain Hao Pengju at this time "This is obviously to give people a handle, Zhuang Jihua is coerced by the power of a big victory, of course he can't swallow this breath" He has never suffered this kind of loss.

Chiang Kai-shek ordered the transfer of two armies from Chou in Burma to the North China Theater, and the 200 newly produced tanks in Sichuan, the 150 Sherman tanks just arrived in the United States, and the 260 planes were all transferred to the North China Theater, which can now be said to be strong and strong. ”

Ye Jying was very worried about the situation in Shandong, "the balance of forces between the enemy and us is very large", and with his understanding of Zhuang Jihua, "this person never fights uncertain battles, he is not like He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, he fights first to make himself invincible", and then look for your flaws, the Battle of Nanjing, the First Battle of Jinpu Road, and the Battle of Northern Burma, are all like this.

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, it is certain" Dong Bwu asked Ye Jying: "The three-way army is looking at each other, and Chen Su is under great pressure. ”

Ye Jying shook his head lightly: "The three-way army, I bet, two of them are just threats" The first to move must be the two divisions in Qingzhou; If Chen Su did not move, these two divisions continued to squeeze forward; In addition, don't forget that there is a 24th Group Army near the Jiaoji Line, and there is also a 59th Army that is being reorganized near Yanzhou in Zaozhuang, and this army will be reorganized into a group army, and one or two divisions can be transferred to attack Yimeng Mountain at any time." Bogu suggested tentatively.

Zhou ENLAI shook his head unceremoniously and said: "Absolutely not" Luo Rhuan's situation is even worse than Chen Su, there are hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops around them, "And it is also the Central Army, they want to go south to Henan and reinforce Shandong, but they must also cross the Yellow River The march is too long and the risk is too great." ”

Ye Jying didn't even bother to refute Bogu's opinion, "He is blind when he is the Kuomintang, Zhuang Jihua is a fool, if you want to go south, he will let you go south, the first mechanized group army, the fifth group army" The two mechanized troops, do not chase you to fight, there are thousands of fighters and bombers in the extremely neighboring provinces of Henan, Zaozhuang and Yanzhou reorganized troops can be mobilized at any time through the Longhai line and the Jinpu line, Luo Rhuan and they want to go south, and it is fortunate that they can go to Yimeng Mountain.

"Comrade Kejian, is there any new movement of the Kuomintang?" , Zhou EN came to ask Wu Kejian, the leader who controls the intelligence department of the Southern Bureau.

Wu Kejian shook his head: "No, after the ambassadors of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union visited Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek was under pressure from the United States and Britain, but now, his attitude began to waver again, however, the Tehran meeting is imminent, I estimate that before this meeting, he will not come to win the military heart." "The most important thing is Zhuang Jihua, if he doesn't pursue it, Chiang Kai-shek will be able to ease up, and the two sides can keep their faces.

Dong Bwu knows the difficulty of this matter, and after Zhuang Jihua intervened in this matter, even if Deng Yanda and Li Jishen have always supported GC. The "Democratic Party" also suggested that they temporarily back down and return Hao Pengju to "settle the matter peacefully, and even Hao Pengju's old superior, Feng Yuxiang, advised them to leave Hao Pengju to fend for himself regardless of the matter." Sichuan's powerful factions Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao and others were more straightforward, believing that they had done something inappropriate and should call someone as soon as possible.

In the past, most of these "powerful factions in Sichuan" supported them, but now they ...... "all the reasons are because of one person, Zhuang Jihua."

"Enlai, I think I'll go to visit Old Man Xia Mei tomorrow, maybe he can talk about Zhuang Wencao." , Dong Bwu suggested.

As soon as the Hao Pengju incident began, the Zhuang family represented by Zhang Jingjiang launched a fierce bombardment of GCD at the political participation meeting, "his writing is Zhou EN, and when you take a look, you can understand that it is Zhuang Jihua's", which has a distinct Zhuang style. However, "what is strange is that Mr. Mei did not say a word, first told the sick, and then simply closed up, the meaning of which is interesting.

Zhou EN nodded, and the Hao Pengju incident has developed to the present "To everyone's surprise, the party is now very passive, and the Kuomintang occupies an unprecedented active position."

"Okay, I'll cross the river tomorrow," Zhou En nodded in agreement, and then said solemnly: "We are now facing great difficulties, this time the difficulties are not only military, but also political, I estimate that the Kuomintang still has huā tricks" We must always be vigilant, comrades who go out must be in a group of two "non-essential documents should be destroyed immediately, and the soldiers of the guard platoon must be vigilant at all times, but "no matter what happens, the first shot is not allowed." ”

The meeting ended quickly" After the others left, Zhou En came to leave Wu Kejian behind, Zhou En came to close the room, clasped his hands, and asked slowly, "Is there any further information in Blade Huali?" ”

Wu Kejian shook his head and said: "No, but according to the blade's reaction, Zhuang Wencao is very angry this time and has a lot of determination, but his determination is limited to arresting Hao Pengju, and it seems that he has no intention of completely breaking with our party."

Zhou Ganglai was silent, thought about it and said: "Tell Dao Feng to exert his influence as much as possible and influence Zhuang Jihua not to use force." ”

"Understood." Wu Kejian nodded and agreed, "Then look at Zhou EN Lai, Zhou EN came and didn't mean to let him go" After wandering around the room twice, he looked up and said to him as if he had made up his mind: "Order Xuanxia's father, let Comrade Liu Xiachuan go to Dexian County immediately to find out the deployment of the Kuomintang army near Dexian County, and after Comrade Dao Feng accepted this task, he immediately turned into a silent period. Zhuang Wencao is a very cautious person, "He is also a veteran of intelligence, this incident must cause suspicion in his heart, and the use of blades must be cautious and cautious, and focus on the long-term." ”

Wu Kejian was silent before replying: "Yes, in the long run, Zhuang Jihua still has room for improvement, this person is very cautious, and he has a stronger sense of secrecy than other generals of the Kuomintang. ”

After Wu Kejian left, Zhou En returned to his desk and drafted a telegram to the Central Committee, suggesting that the Central Committee take moderate concessions in Shandong: "In addition to Hao Pengju, you can also use the grassroots political power on both sides of the Jiaoji Line that Zhuang Jihua wants the most, in exchange for the other party not to pursue Hao Pengju." After writing it, Zhou EN came to read it twice, and felt that it was still not enough, so he added two more sentences.

"Can you agree to return Hao Pengju?" However, the Kuomintang must agree to grant a pardon immediately after Hao Pengju's trial. Although this move has damaged our party, it can unite Zhuang Jihua. Otherwise, if this matter continues, we will not be hungry for our party."

After putting down the pen, Zhou Enlai did not immediately send it to the telegraph room, but walked into Dong Bwu's office with the telegram and gave the telegram to Dong Bwu. When Dong Bwu just saw the telegram, he was a little surprised, in the meeting just now, Zhou EN didn't say a word, but now he suddenly took out a telegram, but after reading the telegram, he immediately understood Zhou EN's good intentions.

Such a telegram cannot be sent in the name of the Southern Bureau, but only in the name of an individual, and if it is discussed at the meeting, it is the collective opinion of the Southern Bureau, and the difference is very great.

"In my name." , Dong Bwu put his name on the telegram with a pen, but Zhou En shook his head and said: "I am the secretary of the Southern Bureau, such a suggestion should be made by me, Dong Lao, what is your opinion?" ”

"Okay." Dong Bwu thought about it for a while, and felt that Zhou EN was right, as the secretary of the Southern Bureau, if he wanted to send such a telegram, it was impossible not to report it to the book, and it could only be sent on the basis of Zhou Ganglai's consent.
