"The Jianghuai People's Radio Station is now broadcasting news, and the commanders and fighters of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army have collectively sent a telegram to congratulate Commander-in-Chief Zhu on his 60th birthday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In a simple farmhouse in the Jianghuai Plain, a young female announcer in a gray cotton military uniform, two pigtails, and a military cowhide belt around her waist sat on a rough poplar bench, facing a radio microphone, reading a news release in Chinese with a slight southern accent.

It's the middle of winter, and at dusk, the northwest wind is whining non-stop. Although the door was tightly closed, the cold wind still penetrated through a dozen cracks in the door, and there was no stove in the house, so the room was not much warmer than the outside. The bowl of boiled water placed at the door actually froze, and the lantern on the table was also flickering. The house looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, and the beams and walls were covered with cobwebs. A thick layer of black ash fell on the potholed earthen walls, and they did not move in the face of the cold wind. The female announcer and the technician in charge of debugging were so cold that their faces were red from the cold, and their mouths were full of white gas, and their faces were filled with joy because they were attracted by the content of the script. Next to the lantern is a loudspeaker. As the row of indicators on the amplifier flashed continuously, the announcer's sweet and mellow voice turned into radio waves through the amplifier and the transmitter outside the house, which was quickly transmitted to all corners of the Jianghuai Plain.

According to our news, General Gu Yu, commander of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army, and General Luo Zhengping, political commissar, led all the commanders and fighters of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army to General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, recently sent a telegram to General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, to congratulate the commander-in-chief on his 60th birthday. The full text of the congratulatory message is as follows:

Dear Commander-in-Chief Zhu,

On the occasion of your 60th birthday, all the commanders and fighters of the Jianghuai troops and the people of the Jianghuai Liberated Area would like to pay high tribute to you and sincerely congratulate you on your health and longevity!

Just as Chairman Mao said in his inscription to you, your birthday is the glory of the people, the glory of our party, and the glory of the people's army. Your revolutionary experience serves as a model teaching material for the education of revolutionary outlook on life, ideals and beliefs, and will not only educate the youth of today, but will also have an important impact on the youth of the future.

Since your early years, you have been seeking to save the country and the people, and you have participated in the Xinhai Revolution, the National Defense Movement, and the Law Protection Movement. When Marxism was introduced to China, you did not accept Marxism and join the Communist Party of China in pursuit of fashion, fashion, and romance like some young people at that time, but based on your own positive and negative experiences, you came to a well-thought-out conclusion that only Marxism could save China. When your request to join the party was rejected by Chen Duxiu, the leader of the **** Central Committee at that time, you were 36 years old and did not lose heart, and resolutely traveled across the ocean to Germany, the hometown of Marxism, to seek the truth. October 1922 is the harvest season, and you, who are at a mature age, become a mature Marxist according to your mature choices in this mature season.

Because of maturity, when those who pursue fashion, trendiness and romance were frightened by the massacre of the Kuomintang **** betrayal revolution, left the party or even betrayed the party, you firmly followed the party and actively participated in the August 1 Nanchang Uprising led by the party. Because of maturity, when the Nanchang Uprising was frustrated and the rebel army was facing a critical juncture of collapse, you stepped forward, turned the tide, stabilized the ranks, and preserved the revolutionary fire for the party. Because of your maturity, you have made a successful exploration for the creation of a strong proletarian revolutionary army in China, where the peasants are the main body, and you have the honor of becoming the commander-in-chief of this revolutionary army, creating a great miracle of defeating a powerful enemy with inferior equipment. Because of your maturity, you have consistently adhered to the truth on many major issues that have a bearing on the party's fate, taken into account the overall situation, united with comrades, and worked hard to safeguard the party's fundamental interests regardless of personal gains and losses.

In the past, your maturity led us to victoriously carry out the Red Army War and the War of Resistance Against Japan. Today, your maturity will lead us to bravely carry out the patriotic war of self-defense and win a glorious victory! ”

In a set of blue-brick and blue-tiled courtyard houses more than 80 miles away from the radio station, many PLA soldiers in gray cotton uniforms gathered in the main hall and sat around a pine table of eight immortals, listening to the clear sound broadcast on a black plastic-shell radio on the table, and could not help but frown with joy. "Oh, this small box is really a god, it can actually release the voice of a person."

"This guy can speak, sing, and sing, what an evil man!"

A PLA cadre who was standing against a pillar with a shell gun on his back smiled, "This is called a radio, and you can listen to the news and literary programs of the radio station, which was recently given to us by the ****** of the captain of the transport brigade along with American-style equipment." ”

This cadre is Feng Tao, who is now the commander of the first brigade, regiment and battalion of the first division of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army. At this point, he felt a little tired, so he turned around and walked into the east suite, closed the door, and lay down on the wooden bed with his kimono.

Listening to the radio broadcast outside, Feng Tao couldn't help but take out the yellow handkerchief in his jacket pocket, which was embroidered with a delicate Nantian bamboo petal pattern with red and white needlework.

"Kaede, we haven't seen each other in three years. Right now, the radio outside is broadcasting our radio station. I found that your voice is a little similar to the golden-voiced Xiaocao. It's all so sweet and soft, with a hint of fortitude. When I heard Xiao Cao's voice, I thought of you, and I remembered the days with you in the mountain city of Chongqing......"

In the mountain city of Chongqing, Feng Tao, dressed in a gray Verding suit, and his lover, a girl with two pigtails, a white silk shirt, a blue silk skirt, and white leather high heels, walked hand in hand along the bluestone steps planted with camphor trees on both sides, and the green camphor leaves obscured their youthful backs. At this time, the alley with a faint white mist was particularly quiet, and the cries of birds echoed around, chirping, chirping, and cooing. From time to time, the whistle of the steamer on the Jialing River in the distance can be heard, beep, beet, beet......

Thinking of this, Feng Tao closed his eyes and smiled sweetly.

In a county town a few hundred miles away, a deep house compound surrounded by flying eaves and arches, red bricks, green tiles, and pines and cypresses in the middle of the street has been requisitioned by the Kuomintang authorities as an army headquarters.

In the front courtyard hall, several generals wearing yellow generals' uniforms sat around the Eight Immortals table in the center of the ground, listening to the broadcast of the Jianghuai People's Radio Station on the radio placed on the long table against the west wall. The doors and windows of the room were closed, and the brazier next to the table of the Eight Immortals was flickering. Although the cold wind outside could be heard clearly, it was warm inside. Under the light of several electric lights, the gold plum blossoms on the collars of the generals, the gold stars on the epaulettes, the medals on the chests, and the brass buttons on the military uniforms all shone brightly. However, the faces of the generals were very gloomy, and they drooped their heads one by one.

"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, our Jianghuai troops recently won a major victory in the battle to defend Linhe, the capital of the Jianghuai Liberated Region, which thwarted the rampant offensive of the main forces of the Chiang army, forced the Chiang army to go on the defensive, and created a favorable opportunity for our army to open up a new situation in the war of self-defense in the Jianghuai region. What makes us even more proud is that this battle took place on the eve of your birthday, so the victory in the defense of the Linhe River has naturally become a special birthday celebration for our Jianghuai soldiers and civilians to dedicate to you. In order to express our Jianghuai military and civilian wishes for your birthday, we specially present you a birthday gift worthy of the name and commemorative significance, these gifts are all trophies of the defense of the Lin River, including: an American-made pistol, a Zhongzheng sword, a pair of American-made binoculars, a set of military maps, a box of American canned food, and a pair of American leather shoes that have never been worn. These gifts have been arranged to be sent to Yan'an, and the commander-in-chief will receive them soon.

Comrade Commander-in-Chief, when we wish you a birthday this year, the self-defense war in the liberated areas is raining and sunny and the rainbow is rising. Next year, when we celebrate your birthday again, the revolutionary situation will surely be triumphant, and the wind will be full of red flags!

I sincerely wish you a long and healthy life!

Jianghuai People's Liberation Army Commander Gu Yu, Political Commissar Luo Zhengping and all Jianghuai soldiers and civilians. ”

A general with four gold stars on his shoulders and a five-medal watch on his chest stood up, turned off the radio, and then turned to look at everyone. He was about fifty years old, of medium height, with a thin build, a square face, high cheekbones, and thin lips.

"Did you hear that? The Communist Party is bragging! Moreover, the cowhide tube used for bragging this time is us, which is provided free of charge! What do you think about this? ”

Everyone felt that it was difficult to talk about it, so they continued to remain silent. The room was silent, awkwardly quiet.

After a while, Lieutenant General Wen Da, the thin and tall chief of staff, with a wide forehead, small eyes, and big ears, raised his head and put on a smiling face, "Chief Chen doesn't have to blame himself too much, although the battle of Linhe was lost, this is a local defeat after all. But as far as the overall situation is concerned, our army is still victorious. In the past few months, the Communist Party has almost lost all the Jianghuai communist areas, and only a small piece of land is left in the west, and there are only four empty cities north of the Huai River in the east. A few days ago, some Communist Party personnel saw that the defeat of **** was decided, and they successively returned to the government. Afraid that the trees would fall and scatter, he used the life-saving straw that he was lucky to pick up in the battle of the Lin River, in an attempt to deceive the world. In doing so, the Communist Party is, in a vulgar vernacular in the Jianghuai region, to take off its pants and cover its face. ”

Sitting on the left side of Wenda is Lu Wencai, the commander of the 73rd Army, who is in his forties, tall, with a round and bald head, and his facial features are like knife carvings, which appear sharp and angular. He found that Chen Moshan was in a very bad mood today, and when he saw Wen Dadui's smiling face and saying good things to comfort the chief, he also pretended to be a smiling foil. When he heard the words "take off his pants and cover his face", he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and at this moment, he really laughed.

"The problem is that the Communist Party is taking off our pants! And it's the pants of our elite workhorse! Chen Moshan didn't laugh, he slapped the Eight Immortals table, his eyes erupted with fire, which frightened Wenda, Lu Wencai and others to quickly lower their heads.

Chen Moshan sat on the chair, his anger was still unsettled, and his cheek muscles were still jumping, "The Communist Party actually gave a pair of leather shoes of our army officers to their commander-in-chief Zhu De as a birthday gift!" It's so damning! It's so damning! What's the deal with these leather shoes? Could it really be that it was ripped off the pants and shoes of the captured officers of our army who were the same size and shoe size as Zhu De? Well? ”

Yan Guangxi, a mid-tale man in his thirties and a square face, glanced at his peers next to him, and the long-faced major general Gao Shen Linxi, and then looked at others, and saw that everyone was silent, so he raised his head and said in a snort: "A few days ago, a motor transport team of our army transported materials to the troops on the front line of our Linhe, and unfortunately strayed into the **** position. ”

Chen Moshan looked at everyone with a very serious expression, "Everyone, the battle of Linhe is by no means a partial defeat, this battle happened on the eve of the Communist Party's birthday for Zhu De, and the impact is particularly bad!" This battle exposed the Achilles' heel of our army. If these weaknesses are not overcome, we will suffer even greater setbacks! Therefore, I had to order all units to suspend the offensive, conscientiously sum up the lessons learned, rest the troops, adjust their deployment, and prepare for the next offensive. Remember, the battle of the Linhe River is a great shame for our army! As the saying goes, those who know shame are brave. I asked everyone to listen to the communist radio broadcast, the purpose is one, we must work hard in the next battle, regain our strength, and be sure to completely annihilate the Jianghuai ****, and live up to the high expectations of the party-state. Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The officers stood up together and replied loudly, "Resolutely wash away the shame of Linhe and completely eliminate Jianghuai ****." ”

A smile began to appear on Chen Moshan's gloomy face, "Very good, it's up to you to attack next time, you guys should prepare to go." He took out a document at this time, "This is the operational opinion of the American advisory group on the next offensive, take a look." ”

The main content of this document is to suggest that the Chiang army should discover the loopholes in the defense of the army in time, choose a good breakthrough, avoid dispersing the troops, and the US side promises to add another batch of arms to the Chiang army within this month. After reading it, the officers saluted Chen Moshan and began to walk out.

A major general in his early thirties, medium height, round face, slender eyebrows, single eyelids, small nose, and big mouth did not leave, his name was Jiang Anbang, and he was the director of the political work department of the Kuomintang Jiangbei Xingying. He closed the door, walked up to Chen Moshan, and whispered, "Chief Chen, there is something I want to ask you about my humble position. ”

Chen Moshan waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Director Jiang is an elite of party affairs, young and promising, and has a bright future, how can I ask for advice?" But Chen is willing to listen to Gao Zhi. ”

After Jiang Anbang sat down, his body leaned towards Chen Moshan, "Chief Chen, after recovering Lin He, what should we do next?" ”

"Of course, it is to cross the Longhai Railway, go north to the Huanghuai region, and join the fraternal troops to completely eliminate the Communist Party."

Jiang Anbang blinked, "Excuse me, can you eliminate the Communist Party?" ”

Chen Moshan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Since 1927, we have begun to eliminate the Communist Party, and we have not stopped suppressing the Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War. It's been twenty years! We can say that we will kill the Communist Party when we see it, and even kill those who wear red hats and red clothes when they are caught. Killing and killing like this, may I ask, has the Communist Party been killed? Speaking of this, Jiang Anbang rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Moshan.

Chen Moshan was a little embarrassed at the moment, his face was red, and he was speechless. Of course, he knew that the Communist Party had not been killed, but on the contrary, it was killing more and more. Twenty years ago, the Communist Party had only 60,000 people, and there was no **** in the real sense. Now, people have 1.2 million party members and 1.2 million genuine ****!

At this moment, Jiang Anbang leaned back in his chair, shook his head, and then said: "Sir Chen, you are a soldier, and a soldier is the most practical, from a purely technical point of view, don't you think that Mr. Jiang's policy of suppressing the Communist Party has failed?" If、If you dare not admit this, then、How do you explain the recent battle of the Lim River? ”

Chen Moshan blinked, "Brother, what do you mean, do you want the government to make peace with the Communist Party?" ”

Jiang Anbang nodded, "Chief Chen, the current situation is that if you don't talk about it, you can't do it!" When I was studying at the Central Political School, I did a special study of the international communist movement, and I found that the communist parties in some countries, such as Switzerland and Belgium, were founded in the same year as ****. And the problem is that the communist parties of these countries have only played tricks in their parliaments so far, but **** has now reached the point where they can compete with the national government. What is the reason for this? ”

When Chen Moshan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and his mouth opened a few times, but he didn't say anything. He hadn't really thought about it before. Not only Chen Moshan, but also many Chinese and foreign communists, anti-communists, and middlemen have not seriously thought about it for a long time: why are the later fates of the Communist Party born in the same year?

Jiang Anbang took out a notebook at this time, opened it, and handed it to Chen Moshan, on which were the black pen words he wrote-

The governments of some European countries have allowed their own communist parties to exist legally from the very beginning, and let the communist parties play tricks, ostensibly making concessions to the communist party, but in fact, they have shrewdly put the communist party in the palm of the Buddha's hand, and no matter how much trouble you make, you will not be able to jump out of the palm of my hand. But what about us? The Communist Party is not allowed to exist legally, and they are sent to the eighteen layers of hell! And the result? They have escaped from Hell and are making havoc in the heavenly palace! Now that the party-state has been crumbling by them, the consequences will be unimaginable!

After Chen Moshan read it, he didn't speak, returned the notebook to Jiang Anbang, and listened to him continue: "In order to overcome the current crisis of the party-state, we must make peace with the Communist Party and let the Communist Party exist legally. But the old man didn't see this, and he was still bent on suppressing the CCP. However, the policy of suppressing the communists must be accomplished by the theaters of operations ahead. You are the commander of the war zone, and the old man has put the most elite main forces under your command. You have also seen the practical difficulties encountered by the Communist Party, but the old man has not seen it. If you tell him about these practical difficulties and persuade him to reconsider his policy towards the Communist Party, he will not fail to do so. ”

Chen Moshan stood up, crossed his waist, and walked back and forth with his head down, "Brother, your idea is good, but, how can you make peace now?" ”

"Make peace with this." Jiang Anbang said and took out a document from a leather bag on the table, "Sir, please see, this is the CPPCC resolution formulated at the CPPCC meeting in January this year, and the Communist Party signed it." I recently carefully studied this document, and I found the following points, first, **** agreed to the separation of the military party and handed over the **** army to the future joint command. Second, the future president and premier will be held by us Kuomintang. Third, half of the members of the future parliament and government will be Kuomintang. Therefore, I have the view that this resolution establishes the ruling position of our Kuomintang in the form of law, and this will be 100 percent beneficial to our Kuomintang. Although the Communist Party has also gained legal status, to put it bluntly, it has only acquired the status of playing tricks in parliament, just like the Communist Parties of European countries. ”

Wangwang, a few dog barks suddenly sounded outside the yard, and after this uninvited noise came into the house, Jiang Anbang's face suddenly sank, "Hmph, there are a few old bastards in the party who actually strongly oppose this resolution, and they also ran to the old man to make a fuss, saying that the resolution will ruin the Kuomintang." Tell them to make a fuss, and the old man is also tempted. Damn, there is not enough success, and there are more failures! ”

"No, the old gentlemen are right." Chen Moshan sat down, "Brother, think about it, since you can see that the resolution has made the Communist Party lose a lot of money, can't the Communist Party see it, and happily tie up its hands and feet?" Will they be so stupid? ”

"Of course, the Communist Party must have made a profit by accepting the resolution." Jiang Anbang smiled, "According to my analysis, the Communists believe that they have the following benefits: First, they can force the government to release the Communists who are being held by us. Secondly, they could get the Vice-President, the Deputy Principal and about a quarter of the ministers, and the so-called liberated areas would have a legitimate existence in the form of local authorities. Third, and most importantly, they will legitimately and peacefully oust Mr. Chiang from power in future presidential elections. In the eyes of the Communist Party, the old man has too many enemies, and it is certain that the majority of the people will disqualify him from running for the presidency or not vote for him during the election. ”

Chen Moshan shook his head, "Brother, I think there is a loophole in your idea. According to your idea, the Communist Party will only get a maximum of one-third of the vote in the general election, so that it can unite with other parties to get rid of the old man and be the unlucky minority in the future. But what if you ignore the fact that the Communist Party gets a direct and overwhelming majority in the general election? ”

Jiang Anbang was taken aback, and he lowered his head. After a long while, he raised his head and blinked confidently, "Chief Chen, you have exalted the Communist Party." The Chinese people don't know anything about communism, and they can't even figure out whether Marx's surname is Ma or not, so how can they vote for them? ”

Chen Moshan smiled, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps around the brazier. "My brother is right, the common people are not interested in communism, but they are interested in land. In May this year, **** started a vigorous land reform movement in the communist area. Now it seems that they have two purposes in doing so: First, they can get the support of the peasants in the communist region in terms of manpower and material resources to start a war. Second, if there is no war and the general election goes ahead as scheduled, they want to get an absolute majority. You know, 90 percent of China's population is farmers. When the Communist Party distributes land to the peasants in the communist areas, not only the peasants in the communist areas will support them, but even the peasants in the nationalized areas will be tempted. In this way, who would dare to say that they will have at most a third of the votes by then? ”

Jiang Anbang was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect this. He stood up, raised his hand helplessly and scratched his head, thinking in his heart. The brazier silently spit out blue flames, and there was not a trace of black smoke in sight. The table clock against the wall rotates its slender hands back and forth, ringing rhythmically and softly.

Suddenly, Jiang Anbang slapped his thigh, and a smile appeared on his face, "There you have it!" We can also carry out land reform, and see who can compete with the peasants? ”

"Huh?" Chen Moshan's hand that was about to give the teacup in his mouth suddenly stopped in the air, and he looked up at Jiang Anbang, "Brother, you are about to become a communist!" ”

"Joke! Which book of Marx and Lenin says that land reform is the preserve of the Communist Party? Jiang Anbang returned to his seat, beaming proudly, "On the contrary, it is the bourgeoisie who advocates the distribution of landlords' land to the peasants!" More than 100 years ago, the French bourgeoisie ordered the abolition of the old land system and took the lead in distributing landlords' land to the French peasants. Could it be that the new French regime at that time was led by the French Communist Party? At present, the U.S. occupation forces are also carrying out land reform in Japan. Could it be that the American occupation forces are led by the Communist Party of the United States? ”

Chen Moshan's hand holding the teacup trembled, the tea almost came out, he put the cup on the table, was silent for a while, and said: "My brother is erudite and talented, and he must be proficient in atomic theory. However, Chen still wants to show off in front of you. According to the atomic theory, all kinds of matter are made up of atoms, which in turn are made up of nuclei and electrons. This nucleus occupies a very small position in the atom, which is negligible, but its mass is very large, accounting for more than 99 percent of the entire atomic mass. If this nucleus is broken in a certain way, a huge amount of energy will be released, and the atomic bomb used this principle. ”

Jiang Anbang stared at Chen Moshan intently, and his intuition told him that Chen Moshan was obviously not showing off his understanding of the cutting-edge atomic theory of modern science, as if he had other intentions.

Sure enough, Chen Moshan continued with a solemn expression, "A country is like an atom, and the beneficiaries of the old land system, that is, the landlords as the Communist Party said, are like the nucleus of an atom, with a small number of people but a significant one. Those farmers are the unlucky electrons that move around the nucleus. Now do you understand? Engaging in land reform is equivalent to an atomic bomb! Before the land reform in France, there had already been an atomic bomb explosion in France, which was the French Revolution. The new regime had no relationship with the old nucleus, so the French nucleus was broken. As for Japan, two veritable atomic bombs were blown up last year. The U.S. occupation forces are even more inseparable from Japan's old atomic nucleus, and if the Americans want to break Japan's atomic nucleus, who would dare to say a 'no'? ”

Speaking of this, he smiled strangely, and his tone became heavier, "But in China, the situation is very different. China's atomic nucleus is too closely related to the origin of our Kuomintang, so to speak, they are also the atomic nucleus of the Kuomintang! At that time, Premier Sun proposed equal land rights, but the opposition within the party was so strong that it could not be implemented. Now if you want to carry out land reform, then you can pay it back! Think about what the consequences of this atomic bomb will be. ”

After a pause, Chen Moshan sighed, with a helpless face, "In our Kuomintang, it is more difficult to carry out land reform than to oust the old man!" It can be said that the old man can get out, and the land reform must not be carried out! Chen Moshan got to the point. In August 1927, November 1931, and January 1949, ****** stepped down three times, and there was nothing unacceptable to the Kuomintang. But it is really difficult to accept the land reform in which the cultivators have their own land.

Jiang Anbang was dumbfounded, shocked, and silent for a while. Then he sighed, sat down in his chair, and began to look around in frustration, stopping when his gaze turned to a rice paper banner hanging on the west wall. The banner is obviously yellowed over time, but the clear cursive ink can still show the calligrapher's calligraphy skills - "I don't know when I sleep in spring, and I smell birds everywhere." The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and the flowers fall to know how much. ”

He was stunned, and suddenly slapped his thigh fiercely, "Alas! The party-state is all ruined by these hateful atomic nuclei! Chief Chen, if you wake up from a dream, in the dialect of my hometown, you are sleepy. Could it be that our Kuomintang had to go through another form of atomic bombing before we woke up and got sleepy and remembered to carry out land reform? A few years later, after the Kuomintang experienced an unforgettable atomic bombing, it began the Kuomintang-style land reform on an isolated island, and at this time the Kuomintang had no relationship with the atomic nucleus on the island. Of course, that's all for later.

The corners of Chen Moshan's mouth moved, but he didn't speak. There was a terrible silence in the room.

"Dang, dang, dang......" The table clock rang, nine times in a row, crisp and rhythmic.

Chen Moshan looked at his watch and said with a smile, "I'm going to go to Commander Li's place, can my brother go along?" ”

The two put on military hats and yellow tweed coats, and walked out of the hall, and the gun-wielding sentries in the courtyard hurriedly stood up and saluted. Walking out of the yard, a black sedan stopped at the door. A captain stood in front of the car, quickly opened the rear door, and after the two got into the car, the sedan started and drove towards the north gate under the escort of more than a dozen jeeps and motorcycles.

It was dark and the north wind was howling. The convoy turned on its lights and quickly left the county seat, galloping on a country road that was not very smooth.

In the car, Chen Moshan saw that Jiang Anbang had been bowing his head and not saying a word, so he patted his arm and said with a smile: "Brother don't be discouraged, although there are setbacks in this crackdown on the Communist Party, it is not nothing. Although the Communists have won small victories in recent battles, they have also exposed some of their weaknesses. Now we are adjusting our tactics against the weakness of ****, as long as we use our troops properly, the final victory is still ours! My brother is the director of political work, how to cheer up the officers and soldiers, it's up to you. ”

Jiang Anbang pursed his lips, but still didn't speak. It was pitch black outside the window, and a few fires flashed in the distance. Occasionally, a few dog barks were heard, not loud, but clear in the silent night, "Wang, Wang, Wang." ”

Ten days later, the Kuomintang army launched a second offensive in the Linhe area.
