George said sincerely: "Our two countries formed a very deep fighting friendship during World War II, and I sincerely hope that this friendship will continue in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Gu Yu smiled, "Lieutenant Colonel George's intentions are very good, the problem is that the US government supports the Kuomintang. If the U.S. government accepts the request of the Kuomintang and decides to send U.S. troops to intervene in the Chinese civil war, I'm afraid that Mr. Lieutenant Colonel will also have to participate, right? ”

George immediately affirmed: "Please rest assured General Gu, neither my colleagues nor I will participate in the Chinese civil war, and our government will not intervene in the Chinese civil war." ”

Gu Yu hurriedly poured wine into George's wine glass, then raised his own wine glass, beckoned George to drink, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, as an ordinary pilot, how can he know what the White House is thinking and doing?" ”

After George drank the wine, his eyebrows fluttered and said: "As General Gu said, ****** really wanted to fight a civil war for a long time, and he also wanted to invite our American army to participate in the war for a long time. According to a general of our military advisory group to the Kuomintang government, I was told by a general of our military advisory group that our military top brass has conducted a special study on the future of China's civil war, and based on the different performances of your Kuomintang and the Communist Party during World War II, we have come to the conclusion that the Kuomintang cannot win, but that your Communist Party may indeed win. Therefore, we, the American army, will not directly fight with your communists. ”

Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes slyly again, "If it weren't for the fear that the Kuomintang would lose the war, there would be no need for our US government to act as a mediator between your two parties now." That way, we wouldn't have taken the plane to send General Gu around. You have to remember that we in the U.S. government are not going to be mediators in order to be mediators. ”

Gu Yu couldn't help but glance at Wei Yi and Su Hong proudly at this time, and then stretched out his hand to George and said, "Oh, please eat." We have an old saying in China, we have to cross the same boat for thousands of years, and we have been able to fly around on your plane twice in the past few days, which is our common fate. ”

Gu Yu smiled after speaking, and several Americans also smiled happily.

After the Americans took a sip of wine and ate a few mouthfuls of food, Gu Yu said tentatively at this time: "However, the Kuomintang is still strong militarily after all, and now you and the United States have provided a large amount of military equipment. ”

George laughed, "The Kuomintang army is actually a sheep leading a herd of lions, and this sheep is of course ******." Many Chinese friends have told me that he does not understand military command at all, but he interferes in the military command of the front line everywhere, and never lets go of the generals on the front line to lead the troops to fight independently, so that these generals have no autonomy at all. I watched a movie "Defending Changsha" in Chongqing, and the protagonist of the movie, General Xiao Xiang, was portrayed very well, and the actor who played General Xiao Xiang, Mr. Feng Tao, also played it very well. I met him three years ago at a reception hosted by our diplomatic mission in China to celebrate Independence Day. But many of my Chinese friends say that a good general like Xiao Xiang can only suffocate to death in the end under the command ****** the straw bag commander. As for the American equipment......"

Speaking of this, he once again slyly squeezed his eyes, "The M3A3 tank that our United States gave ****** is not used by our combat units at all, but only for the reconnaissance detachment to use as a reconnaissance tank." This thing has poor firepower and thin armor, and it will be ineffective when attacked by an opponent's small arms on the battlefield. ”

When Luo Zhiping heard this, he whispered to Wei Yi: "See, Commander Gu is playing the words of the Americans." ”

Wei Yi nodded, and then whispered: "Feng Tao is in Chuzhou now, do you want him to meet George again?" ”

Luo Zhiping said in a serious voice: "The Kuomintang spies suspected that Feng Tao was a Communist Party at the beginning, so Feng Tao was forced to transfer to us. Now, if the Americans are allowed to see him, it will inevitably leak the news, and the Kuomintang spies will re-investigate the person who had contact with Feng Tao when they find out. Don't forget, at the beginning, because of your question, Feng Tao's identity was exposed. ”

Wei Yi stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything more.

Subsequently, Luo Zhiping picked up his glass and said enthusiastically: "We and all American friends are familiar at first sight, for our friendship, cheers." ”

Several Americans also happily raised their wine glasses, clinked glasses with Luo Zhiping, and drank.

After lunch, the rain stopped and the clouds began to turn white.

A few Americans rested for a while, and then flew back to Nanjing.

At the end of June, the Kuomintang army attacked the liberated areas of the Central Plains. In July, the attack on the Jianghuai liberated area began. The Jianghuai troops were immediately ordered to be reorganized into the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army, and under the command of Gu Yu, they won several battles in succession, thwarting the arrogance of the Jiang army. In this regard, Gu Yu couldn't help but say to Luo Zhiping proudly: "I'm not wrong, right? The three fatal wounds of Chiang's army were also fully exposed in the civil war. ”

Luo Zhiping said lightly: "You are right, but another situation has also been right, the land in the liberated area has been lost a lot." The Kuomintang newspapers and radio stations were boasting that Chiang had regained another county seat. ”

Gu Yu sighed and said: "I now have 100,000 main forces, and our situation will be very different." ”

Due to the small number of troops of the Jianghuai Liberation Army, the troops retreated while fighting, first retreating from the Yangtze River to the Huai River, and then retreating to the north of the Huai River after the loss of Chuzhou in October. In late October, the troops carried out the Battle of the Linhe River, temporarily containing the retreat.

In early December, the Kuomintang troops launched a new offensive. On the one hand, the Jianghuai Liberation Army won the battle of annihilation of Renhewei, but at the same time lost the Lin River. When Chiang's army inserted into the flank of the PLA defense line and approached Linhe, Luo Zhiping, who was sitting in Linhe, urgently dispatched the Yicheng garrison to rush to Linhe. As soon as they were halfway there, Chang Ge was forced to give the order to abandon Lin He. Due to the emptiness of the Yicheng garrison, the Jiang army in front of Yicheng took the opportunity to occupy the county seat.

On December 19, the day after the victory in the Battle of Renhewei, the leaders of the People's Liberation Army received a new piece of information, Chen Mosong ordered the 74th Army to advance to Xulou and cooperate with the 7th Army and the 11th Army to seize Xulou County. For this reason, Gu Yu decided to deploy the main force between Xulou and Linhe, preparing to ambush the 74th Army. Who knows, after waiting for three days in a row, the 74th Army just didn't leave Linhe County. However, just when the PLA was deploying and adjusting, the empty garrison of Xulou County and another county town were seized by the Chiang army in front of them. In this way, the PLA does not have a single county town in the Jianghuai region.

On the 24th, the Jianghuai Branch held an emergency meeting in a village in the southeast of Xulou County to study countermeasures. At the meeting, Gu Yu proposed a new strategic adjustment plan, which was strongly opposed by several local cadres in Jianghuai. In the end, most of the cadres still supported Gu Yu. In order to be on the safe side, it was agreed that the retreat should be escalated to the ********. (To be continued.) )
