Section 2 Counterattack of Counterattack VIII

"Does the rebellion in the Ili and Ahsan regions have anything to do with your country? Is your country behind it? "Wang Chonghui didn't go around in circles,. qВ5、c0M

Pan Youxin calmly and affirmatively replied: "No, our government has long announced that the Soviet government has recognized Xinjiang as your territory, the new Soviet treaty has been nullified, and the Soviet government has always abided by the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance. ”

Wang Chonghui stared at him for a while, and then said lightly: "In the Xinjiang rebellion, there are noble ** people to participate, and most of the weapons held by the rebels are made by your country; In addition, before the rebellion, the consul of your country's consulate in Ili met with the rebel chiefs Abbasov, Elihan Tulie, and Aqimu Berk, how can this be explained? In addition, how can the rebellion in the Ahsan region be explained by the discovery of Mongol soldiers? ”

Pan Youxin was still so calm, he shrugged indifferently: "I don't know, my country used to garrison troops in Xinjiang, after the abolition of the Suxin treaty, our ** team has withdrawn to the country, their materials have been stolen, or they stole it, you know that many of the herdsmen there are chalky thieves." ”

A few words made the calm Wang Chonghui lose his temper, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and engaged in diplomatic work for decades, which was the most shameless he had ever seen, except for the Japanese.

Pan Youxin didn't care at all, just looked at Wang Chonghui calmly: "I have also been informed by our government, our government is very concerned about the situation in Xinjiang, Comrade Molotov told me that my government is willing to assist your country in calming down the situation in Xinjiang so as to concentrate on resisting Japanese imperialism." ”

Wang Chonghui couldn't help but nod his head and said lukewarmly: "I will convey your country's kindness to Chairman Yang and Chairman Yang." ”

Pan Youxin smiled and took his leave, of course Pan Youxin knew the inside story of the Xinjiang rebellion, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union Beria was sitting in Almaty, personally commanding the Ili Revolution, and most of the military and political cadres of the Ili uprising had been trained in the Soviet Union. In order to strengthen the strength of the insurrectionary forces, the Soviet Union also transferred more than 6,000 people from Kazakhstan into China, and all weapons were provided by the Soviet Union.

Wang Chonghui coldly watched Pan Youxin's back disappear at the door, and then grabbed the phone to report to Huangshan Villa; It was Chen Bui who answered the phone, and Chen Bui asked him to rush to the Huangshan villa immediately, and Chiang Kai-shek was going to hold a meeting on the Xinjiang issue.

It was a small-scale meeting, which Chiang Kai-shek had often convened lately, and was usually attended by the heads of the relevant departments involved in the conference and Chiang Kai-shek's principal aides.

After Wang Chonghui arrived at the Huangshan villa, he found that there was one more person attending the meeting today, and the American adviser Weidemeyer was also present. Weidemeyer was very embarrassed to attend this meeting, because the rebellion in Xinjiang clearly had the shadow of Soviet Russia, and since this was the case, two allies of the United States were involved, and he did not know what to do without further instructions at home.

When Wang Chonghui reported on the summons of Pan Youxin, Chiang Kai-shek's expression was calm and he could not see any change in his mood, and Chen Cheng then reported on the measures he planned to take.

Lin Wei sighed in his heart, he admired Zhuang Jihua even more, before the Spring Festival, when Hong Junqi went to Huangshan to report his work, he reported to Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua proposed to keep at least 100,000 troops in Xinjiang, especially reminded to leave the First Army in Xinjiang, but Chiang Kai-shek was worried that the combat troops in Mongolia were insufficient, and did not listen, if the First Army was in Dihua now, the whole situation would be completely different.

After Wang Chonghui and Chen Cheng's report was over, Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "The Xinjiang rebellion is a rebellion under the command of Soviet Russia for the purpose of splitting our country. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's first words set the tone for the meeting, and it was suppressed by force, without negotiation. Chiang Kai-shek paused and said: "Resign, immediately increase troops to Xinjiang, it is not enough to just transfer the First Army, we must use thunderous means, and the Seventh Division of the Air Force will be transferred to Xinjiang immediately." Zhou Zhirou, can the situation of Xinjiang airport be satisfied? ”

After Qian Dajun answered the chamber, Zhou Zhirou became the commander of the Air Force. Zhou Zhirou stood up and replied: "After the Xinjiang rebellion broke out, the students inquired about the status of airports in Xinjiang, and the status of airports in Xinjiang is okay, there are three large airports near Dihua, four in Hami, one in the Asan area in northern Xinjiang, and one in Yining, which is enough to accommodate all the planes of the Seventh Division; However, there is not enough fuel for flights in Xinjiang. ”

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, during the honeymoon between China and the Soviet Union, with the help of Soviet Russia, several airports were built in Dihua, but these airports were small; After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet staff was evacuated, the central government took over, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered the construction of the Dilan railway to be stopped, but the airport in Xinjiang did not stop, but increased the scale.

At the beginning of the Soviet-German war, Soviet Russia still had troops stationed in Xinjiang, Hami, Yili, and Dihua were the key points, with the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese war, after the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, Soviet Russia withdrew all its troops from Xinjiang, and the Central Army took the opportunity to enter Xinjiang and began to force Sheng Shi to leave Xinjiang, so the airport in Xinjiang was in better condition.

"This matter, resignation, you urge Hong Junqi to send oil to Xinjiang as soon as possible." Chiang Kai-shek said to Chen Cheng: "Minister Wang, tomorrow I will submit a diplomatic note to Soviet Russia, the content of which is to protest against Soviet Russia's support for the rebellion in Xinjiang and the splitting of China.

In addition, let Hu Shih and Kong Xiangxi inform the US government, asking the US government to support us in countering the aggression of Soviet Russia. ”

Weidemeyer was a little uneasy, Chiang Kai-shek's words on the surface, the Chinese government has already decided that this is the Soviet Union and Russia's instigation, Sino-Soviet relations are bound to produce major contradictions, and even do not rule out the possibility of war, which will have a major impact on the ongoing anti-fascist war, how should Washington respond? If Chiang Kai-shek asked the US military to cooperate, the easiest thing was to mobilize US aid materials, would he support or oppose it?

"General Weidemeyer, I hope you will report to President Roosevelt on the true situation of the rebellion in Xinjiang and support our counterinsurgency efforts."

Before Weidemeyer could think clearly, Chiang Kai-shek had already pressed him over, and Weidemeyer thought quickly and quickly came up with a countermeasure: "Mr. Chairman, I am happy to do this, but I hope that your country can provide more evidence to prove that Soviet Russia has indeed intervened in the rebellion in Xinjiang, so that I can better convince the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff." As you are aware, Vice President Mr. Wallace is visiting Moscow, and I am sure that Stalin will never let go of this opportunity. ”

Weidemeyer said it very tactfully, but the meaning is very clear, the evidence to prove the Soviet Russia's instigation is insufficient at present, and it also implies that in Roosevelt's eyes, Soviet Russia is very important to the United States at present, and the United States cannot sacrifice American interests for China's interests at this stage, and the most important thing at present is to eliminate Germany and Japan.

Chen Cheng's face sank, and he frowned and asked, "General Weidemeyer, can't the soldiers in Soviet and Russian uniforms, as well as Soviet-style tanks and airplanes, prove it?" In addition, the Mongol soldiers also participated in the rebellion in the Ahsan region, and these are not enough? ”

Weidemai nodded: "Yes, General Chen, these evidences are not enough to prove that the Soviet Union was involved, soldiers in military uniforms, it must be easy to get such military uniforms on the Sino-Soviet border; As for the tanks, I think it is still not enough to prove the direct involvement of the USSR. As far as I know, the Soviet Union once provided Sheng Shicai with a lot of weapons and equipment, including an armored brigade. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face became more and more gloomy, but Weidemeyer could not care about it now, he could not make a promise to Chiang Kai-shek before receiving instructions from the US government, he had to set aside time for himself and for the US government.

"Mr. Chairman, I believe that more evidence should be gathered; In addition, if Soviet Russia was really involved, then it would be better to resolve it through diplomatic channels. As for the rebellion," Weidemeyer said in a deep voice: "I think it is possible to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, but it is better not to affect the ongoing battle of Pingjin, and it is best if the time for counterinsurgency can be placed after the battle of Pingjin." ”

There was silence in the office, and Weidemeyer's attitude disappointed Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng very much, and it can even be said that it was completely unexpected. Song Meiling stood up at this time and smiled at Wei Demai: "General, I agree with your point of view, our current evidence is not enough to prove that the Soviets really participated. Kai-shek, I have something to talk about with General Weidemeyer, so let's go ahead and have a meeting. ”

Weidemeyer certainly knew that Soong Meiling was going to take him out of the meeting so that Chiang Kai-shek and them could make further arrangements, but at this time, it was exactly what he needed. He immediately stood up and accompanied Song Meiling out of the conference room. After Wei De stepped out of the door, Lin Wei sighed: "It seems that we can't count on the United States, Chairman, I think we must rely on our own strength to quell the rebellion." ”

"You can't count on the Americans for everything," Chiang Kai-shek snorted contemptuously: "Stalin thought that he had seized a good opportunity, and we were entangled by the Japanese and could not divide troops to reinforce Xinjiang, but he was wrong, we now have the strength to quell the rebellion in Xinjiang." ”

"Order Ma Hongkui, the Gansu section of the Dilan Railway is under his protection, and the Dilan Railway must be kept intact." Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth tightly, from Guangzhou to now, he has endured it for 20 years, and this time he doesn't want to endure it anymore: "Telegraph to Zhu Shaoliang, the most important thing now is not to send troops to quell the rebellion, but to protect the Dilan Railway, which is the main artery for us to transport troops and materials, and he is responsible for protecting the Xinjiang section." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's hands were crossed, and his fingers were lightly clasped for a moment before he continued: "Xinjiang has set up a counterinsurgency command, with Hu Zongnan, acting commander of the Eighth Theater, as the commander-in-chief, and Zhu Shaoliang, chairman of Xinjiang Province, as the assistant, Hu Zongnan immediately went to Dihua to set up a counterinsurgency command, and Liu Wenhui served as the deputy commander-in-chief. ”

Everyone gasped, Chiang Kai-shek really made up his mind this time, he didn't even care about Yan'an, as soon as Hu Zongnan was transferred, what should the troops surrounding Yan'an do?

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and said: "During Hu Zongnan's stay in Xinjiang, the Shaanxi troops were temporarily under the direct command of Li Zongren, director of the Tianshui Xing Battalion. ”

"In terms of troops," Chiang Kai-shek pondered, raised his head, and then resolutely ordered: "The 1st and 78th Divisions of the First Army, the entire 42nd Army, the 3rd Cavalry Army, the new 9th Army, and the 15th Provisional Division will be transferred......

Chen Cheng silently wrote down that he felt that Chiang Kai-shek had not lost his mind, and that in addition to the 1st Division and the 78th Division, which were well-equipped, the 42nd Army was a reorganized unit, and the equipment was all made in Chongqing, and most of the rest of the troops were second-rate and semi-first-rate troops. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but Chiang Kai-shek spoke again.

"Then the 2nd Army will be transferred from Jiangnan and Dihua will be airlifted immediately."

Chen Cheng was stunned, the 2nd Army is not a civil engineering department, but the 2nd Army is one of the main forces in the Jiangnan Theater, and the Kuomintang Army can be divided into six categories according to equipment, American weapons, semi-American weapons, Chongqing-made, semi-Chongqing-made, all-weapon, and ordinary.

The 2nd Army was developed from the 1st Division of the Huangpu starting unit, and was the first batch of troops to be reorganized into the US Armament Army, and it was also the first-class main force in the Jiangnan Theater...... Chiang Kai-shek seemed to see Chen Cheng's hesitation, so he said unceremoniously: "After Stalin's conspiracy in Tehran was exposed, he provoked an incident in Xinjiang, with the purpose of interfering in Xinjiang or creating a separatist situation in Xinjiang, with the aim of serving Mongolia and Northeast China." Now the Soviet army has not directly participated in the war, once our counterinsurgency is smooth, will the Soviet and Mongolian armies directly participate in the war? This time we will sweep the ball with a thunderous force and give Stalin no chance. ”

Chen Cheng immediately nodded and explained: "The chairman is wise. However, Chairman of the Committee, it is nothing to transfer troops from the Jiangnan Theater, but is there too many troops transferred from the Eighth Theater? If the Creceous Communist Party wants to cooperate with Soviet Russia......"

Chiang Kai-shek sneered: "If that's the case, then it's great, I'm asking for it." Inform Zhuang of the problems in Xinjiang and tell him that he should be vigilant against the Chinese Communists. ”

Lin Wei fully approved of Chiang Kai-shek's deployment. The Xinjiang issue is complex and there are many ethnic groups, so we must not just look at the present, we must take into account the Soviet factor.

He didn't think that Yan'an would cooperate with Soviet Russia, Mao Zecha Dong was not so stupid, the main force of the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army was still dragging in the hands of Zhuang Jihua, once that situation occurred, even if Zhuang Jihua supported the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he could only attack the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, of course, this is not a political loss.

"The chairman is right, I think we are taking advantage of this opportunity to launch a political propaganda offensive against Yan'an." Lin Wei seized Stalin's conspiracy some time ago and admired the results of the attack launched by Yan'an. This offensive has left the Central Communists scrambling, and the Kuomintang has scored huge points, so how can this better opportunity be let go now?

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and smiled: "Wei Wen said well, this opportunity cannot be missed, this matter is left to Chen Lifu and He Jinhan to do, and use political offensive to force the CCP to cooperate with the government." ”

The battle of Pingjin was fierce, Xinjiang rebelled again and again, and Chongqing was not quiet. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have come and gone on the issue of party ban, accusing the Kuomintang of opposing the Crucian Communist Party, sabotaging the anti-Cristine united front, and delaying the reform of the Kuomintang; The Kuomintang accused the CCP of being insincere and secretly stubbornly clinging to a conspiracy to subvert the government. Both sides are playing propaganda cards and will not budge.

The Kuomintang promised to experiment with the reform of the cristy lords and the democrats in Chongqing also failed to carry out the election because the Chongqing Political Participation Committee was unable to formulate election methods for a long time, and the various cristial parties gradually lost patience.

Chiang Kai-shek wants to take advantage of this Xinjiang rebellion to suppress these voices, launch a new round of propaganda offensive, and regather the support of the people to the government! ~!
