Section 9 The Phantom XV

The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing and Ninth Chapter, Phantom

Zhuang Jihua's door was closed, and Zhou ENLAI went back very disappointed. , QВ (5), CoМ\\ Zhou EN came and left, He Jinhan and other Huangpu classmates came to visit again, Zhuang Jihua finally got impatient, and ordered to close the door to thank the guests, so that Wu Ziniu and Song Yunfei blocked the guests, this last day, he didn't want to see anyone, just wanted to be with the two children, but in the afternoon, Tang Zong came to the door again, and Chiang Kai-shek summoned him.

The scenery of Huangshan is still the same, and the villa is filled with a relaxed atmosphere, now whether it is from military to economic, to political; From home to abroad, from the War of Resistance to the present, the situation has never been so good.

Waiting in the courtyard of the villa was He Yingqin Bai Chongxi, seeing Zhuang Jihua coming in, He Yingqin beckoned to him, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly went over and saluted He Yingqin according to the previous rules.

"The Cultural Revolution, I came back for so many days, and I only came today, and I am not afraid of the chairman to blame." He Yingqin said with a smile.

"The teacher knows that the students came back this time for mourning, and they didn't plan to stay for a long time, but they will go back to Shandong tomorrow, and there are many front-line affairs. Besides, what kind of place is this, you can come casually, and the principal doesn't summon it, and I don't dare to come if I want to. Zhuang Jihua sighed deeply.

"Alas, it's really a pity about your wife," He Ying sighed, after Liu Yinshu died, he also went to mourn, and also sent his wife to help deal with the funeral, trying his best to win over: "Speaking of your wife, I knew it when I was in Guangzhou, and later I heard that he was looking for you thousands of miles away, what a loyal martyr, rare in the world, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

After Liu Yinshu died, the love story between her and Zhuang Jihua was also excavated, looking for a husband for thousands of miles, waiting for several years, and telling the story, which made countless young boys and girls who yearn for love burst into tears.

Bai Chongxi looked at the two of them chatting with a smile, Liu Yinshu died, he only sent his wife to mourn, and there was no other action, to be honest, He Yingqin would never be able to do something like that.

After Zhuang Jihua chatted with He Yingqin for a few words, he chatted with Bai Chongxi for a few more words, and then asked: "The two chiefs are waiting in the courtyard, I don't know who the chairman is seeing?" ”

"The envoys of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union came to visit one after another, and it seems that most of them are for Tehran's business." He Yingqin's tone was relaxed.

"I don't think so," Bai Chongxi shook his head: "I'm afraid it's for the situation in northern Jin, by the way, the Cultural Revolution, you transfer all the troops to the north of the Yellow River, and only one army is left in Jiaodong, so you don't worry about GCD coming?" ”

"What's there to worry about," Zhuang Jihua spread his hands: "I have a million troops in the Jiangbei Theater, how many people can they have, and besides, does the current political climate allow for a civil war?" GCD is no fool. ”

Bai Chongxi nodded slightly when he heard this, he understood the meaning of these words. In Shandong, although the Kuomintang directly faced with a small number of troops, the total strength of the Kuomintang was one million and there was an overwhelming advantage, and the GCD certainly would not take the initiative to provoke incidents; Shanxi is different.

In Shanxi, the strength of the Kuomintang was not stronger than that of GCD, which had a vast base area in Shanxi, and during the six-year war, the people in the base area lived and died with GCD, and the GCD regime had extremely high support in these places; More importantly, it is possible that the Kuomintang will fire the first shot, and they will take the initiative politically, and even if they lose the battlefield, they will be able to get it back politically.

"I think it's good to fight, after this battle, they will know that the government is determined to promote the unification of military orders and government orders." He Yingqin's confidence is very strong, even the Japanese army is not a problem, not to mention the small Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which has not been captured without a fight.

"Teacher, you may have underestimated the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army," Zhuang Jihua politely objected: "The Japanese army encircled and suppressed them for six years, but they managed to survive, which shows that their combat effectiveness is not weak, not to mention..."

As he was talking, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling sent the ambassadors of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union out, Zhuang Jihua suddenly stopped talking, Chiang Kai-shek's face was not very good, but Song Meiling still maintained her usual demeanor.

Chiang Kai-shek and his wife did not go far, they went to the bottom of the steps and said goodbye to the three of them, and after the three of them left, Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and saw the three of them standing there, so he walked over.

"You're here, let's go, let's go to the back."

After finishing speaking, Chiang Kai-shek took the lead in walking to the small garden behind, and the three of them could only follow behind, and all three of them found that Chiang Kai-shek's face was not good, and he didn't know what was going on, so he had to follow silently.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think of the situation in Shanxi?" Stepping through the Moon Gate, Chiang Kai-shek, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"The students don't know much about the situation in Shanxi, I only know the situation from the newspaper, and yesterday Vice Minister Zhou came and said something, and the students were upset and didn't listen." Zhuang Jihua made up his mind this time, even if there was a conflict, it would only be a small conflict at best, and it would not affect the overall situation of the entire Anti-Japanese War. In this conflict, as long as there is a result, but who wins and who loses, the future will be easy to say.

"I think it's better to fight," Bai Chongxi said, "the scope under control is only to fight in northern Jin, and it is limited to the occupation of Datong." ”

Zhuang Jihua glanced at Bai Chongxi, and secretly said in his heart that this guy is really cunning, in fact, he and Bai Chongxi's judgment is the same, the ambassadors of the three countries must come to visit together, they must be here for the relationship between the two parties, as for the Tehran meeting, as long as the US ambassador comes, there is no need for three people to come.

The performance of He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi proved that the top level of the Kuomintang was full of confidence and had full confidence in defeating the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

He Yingqin also said: "The number of the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is quite large, and I suggest that Wei Lihuang's two armies be transferred to the Zhengtai Road. ”

Zhuang Jihua still didn't say a word, Chiang Kai-shek looked at him a little strangely, in the past, when there were conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Zhuang Jihua hurried to put out the fire, but today, what's wrong.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek simply named him.

"Headmaster, the root cause of the conflict between the two parties is political, and I have said this a long time ago, if the political problem is not resolved, this conflict continues; Secondly, after the Shandong War, the Japanese army decided to increase the number of divisions to North China by 20 divisions, and I estimate that these 20 divisions will arrive in three to five months, and then North China will face another decisive battle. Principal, this will be the last large-scale decisive battle of the Anti-Japanese War, and if this battle is won, there will be no major problems in the future. Therefore, if there is a conflict in Shanxi, it is best to complete it within a month, and then the troops will be transferred to repair and replenish and prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese army. ”

Hearing this, Bai Chongxi He Yingqin was also silent, the battle time was only one month, which was a bit short, the Central Army participating in the Northern Jin War only had the 86th Army and the 94th Army, and the rest were Jin Army, including Bai Chongxi, they all thought that the Jin Army was okay to fight and defend, if they were allowed to attack .......

Li Zongren once inspected the troops in the Second Theater of Operations, and in his letter to Bai Chongxi, he held that the Jin army was at least two grades behind the troops of the Fifth Theater, that the generals of the Jin Army, especially the senior generals, were dull and outdated, their tactics were outdated, Yan Xishan was resistant to social reform, and the relations between the military and the people were extremely poor, so it was necessary to make great efforts to rectify them.

Speaking of social reform, when Li Zongren accepted the social reform in Shangqiu, he still had the attitude of trying it out, but he was shocked by the huge effect he exerted later, and later when he was in charge of the Fifth War Zone, he vigorously promoted social reform, and even sent a special telegram to Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi to invite some cadres from Yunnan and Chongqing to return to Guangxi to carry out social reform in Guangxi.

Seeing the demeanor of the three of them, Zhuang Jihua smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: "Chairman of the committee, after the recovery of Shandong, Jinan, Tai'an, Dexian, Liaocheng and other places have been seriously damaged by the war, and a large number of refugees are in urgent need of relief. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's expression became even more gloomy when he heard this, and he sighed in his heart, saying that just now the ambassadors of the three countries jointly made a request to him, hoping that domestic politics would remain stable and that a civil war must not break out, and the US ambassador even sternly warned that once a civil war broke out in China, Roosevelt would have to reconsider the issue of US aid materials and re-examine the direction of the war against Japan.

Now Zhuang Jihua raised two very fatal questions, Chiang Kai-shek's fighting spirit was shaken, but the attitude of the GCD side has always been tough, and Yan Xishan has repeatedly demanded that Datong be recovered and Zhengtai Road opened. If military action is not taken against GCD, Yan Xishan's demands must be balanced.

"Cultural Revolution, how do you think the current relationship between the two parties should be resolved?" Chiang Kai-shek finally began to consult Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua sighed: "The fundamental cause of the conflict between the two parties is still political, and my point of view is that the government should take the first step, and I have suggested to the principal before to form a coalition government."

The formation of a coalition government is not a big loss to our party, but this step can allow the government to take the political initiative. This coalition government could unite GCD leaders such as mZD and Zhu D into the government.

On the issue of Shanxi, the students think that it is necessary to maintain the status quo, and if there is any problem to talk about after the war, even if Datong is conquered, Zhengtai Road is opened, and the place obtained is also handed over to Yan Xishan, and the central government bleeds and pays money, but the place that is beaten down is returned to Yan Xishan, and this kind of business is not cost-effective.

In addition, principal, the issue of the unified command of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army is now urgent, and the battlefield behind enemy lines is actually very small, and it cannot accommodate so many troops. This issue is more pressing than the Shanxi issue. ”

This is another difficult question, will the GCD hand over the army to the command of the Kuomintang? If the political problem is not solved, I am afraid it will never be, Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said: "This problem can be mentioned by Chen Lifu and them during the negotiations, and the Shanxi problem will be left as it is for the time being, but in this way, the Jin army will not be able to invest in the decisive battle in North China, and the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army will have no choice." ”

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi's expressions suddenly relaxed a lot, and Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart, which is equivalent to having seven or eight hundred thousand troops for the Chinese to consume themselves.

"Chairman, there is another question, on the issue of the Jiangbei Theater," Zhuang Jihua said while quickly calculating in his heart the number of troops that could be invested in the decisive battle in North China: "The Jiangbei Theater is currently too big, from the north bank of the Yangtze River to North China, the area is too large, and the students really can't take care of it, so the students suggest that the Jiangbei Theater be split and set up the Jianghuai Theater and the North China Theater, and the Jianghuai Theater is responsible for cooperating with the Jiangnan Theater to deter the Japanese army in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi didn't know about this suggestion, but Chiang Kai-shek knew, and Chiang Ching-kuo had already reported to him, and Chiang Kai-shek nodded and replied: "Your idea is very good, but how many troops were invested in the Cultural Revolution and the Jianghuai Theater?" Who does the commander choose? ”

Zhuang Jihua finally sighed: "Principal, it turned out that I planned to allocate 300,000 troops to the Jianghuai Theater, but now, since the Jin Sui army cannot go out of the province to fight, the Japanese army is bound to go all out against our army, so the students dare not divide too many troops, 200,000."

In addition, since the Japanese army draws troops from Southeast Asia, our army can also transfer troops from Burma, and the students believe that it is completely possible to transfer two more armies; In addition, the Guangdong Army and the Gui Army can also transfer some of them to the Jianghuai Theater to make up a total of 300,000 troops.

As for the commander, the students recommended Guan Linzheng, who was the former commander of the Sulu Theater and was familiar with the Jianghuai region and was fully qualified to be the commander of the theater. ”

This candidate was immediately supported by He Yingqin, Guan Linzheng could have been classified into He Yingqin's system, Bai Chongxi also had a good impression of Guan Linzheng, thinking that this candidate was feasible, but Bai Chongxi was silent.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Bai Chongxi, if you want to say that the commander of the Jianghuai Theater, in fact, there is another person who is not bad, that is Li Pinxian, the former deputy commander of the Fifth Theater, who has also been fighting in this area for nearly six years.

"Guan Linzheng." Chiang Kai-shek was silent and did not make a decision immediately: "The matter of the split of the Jiangbei Theater has been decided, and as for the commander, I will think about it again." ”

Zhuang Jihua decided to give Chiang Kai-shek another surprise, perhaps it was no longer a surprise, and he then said: "Chairman, there is another thing, I have always been worried about it, when the chairman of the committee wanted to disband the Southwest Development Team, I did not agree, the reason was not yet at that time, and now the time comes, the principal, the mission of the Southwest Development Team is over." ”

Chiang Kai-shek did not show much surprise, after Chiang Ching-kuo reported to him, he thought for a long time, disbanding the Southwest Development Team is certainly his wish, but whether it is disbanded now, he is not sure, the authority of the Southwest Development Team has been abolished a lot, the administrative authority is limited to the traditional areas of the 16 counties around Chongqing, and the work of Yunnan and Guizhou only relies on the influence of the past.

"That's fine, but it doesn't need to be disbanded all at once, first take the party department and administrative power back to the party department and the city government, and take the rest slowly, for the sake of political leaders, don't be too anxious." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was gentle, and there was no hint of excitement.

Zhuang Jihua understood in his heart, and he also looked at Chiang Kai-shek quietly, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek stood up: "Now our situation is very good," Seeing that He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were also about to stand up, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture for them to sit down, and then continued: "President Roosevelt invited me to the Tehran Conference, and we must go to this meeting, which was paid for by the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of soldiers." I think that this meeting will determine the post-war East Asian issues, that is, the content that was determined at the last Cairo Conference, and by the way, after the Cultural Revolution, I turned to the history again, and Japan also seized half of Sakhalin Island during the Russo-Japanese War, and we will also take back this half of the island. ”

"The chairman of the committee is right, the Manchus have lost too much territory, and Japan and Russia have seized a large part of our territory, first take back what is in the hands of Japan, and then negotiate with Soviet Russia." He Yingqin nodded in agreement.

"There is another thing, Japan has transferred a large number of troops from the Soviet Russian battlefield and the Nanyang battlefield to the Chinese battlefield, and it should urge Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army as soon as possible to reduce our pressure. Chairman of the Committee, you can be very strong in your attitude, we have undertaken the main task of the war against Japan, and we deserve the respect and benefits we deserve. Zhuang Jihua proposed.

For the Western powers, strength is everything, and now China has taken on the heavy responsibility of the war, showing great strength, qualifications, strength, and putting forward his demands; Qualified, powerful, and respected by world powers.

Next, Chiang Kai-shek asked about the Jiangbei Theater again, and finally said about Liu Yinshu.

"This is my negligence, I always thought that Chongqing was a good local security, but I didn't expect that there would be such a frenzied person, ignoring the country's law and discipline, and ignoring the overall situation of the country," Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek felt a little guilty in his heart, his confidant will fight on the front line, but he can't guarantee the safety of his family, this matter is not handled well, not only the Huangpu generals are cold, but the front-line generals are afraid that none of them can feel at ease, which is also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to let the true situation of Liu Yinshu's case be reported.

"It seems that the moral conscience of some officials has been corrupted to an unimaginable level, and we must rectify this. Cultural Revolution, you can rest assured on the front line, there is me at home. Chiang Kai-shek was particularly angry, it was unimaginable that such a person should be a lieutenant general.

"Thank you, principal, I'll ask the principal at home." Zhuang Jihua said gratefully. Liu Yinshu's funeral was personally inquired about by Song Meiling, for which Zhuang Jihua was very grateful: "The war situation began to improve, however, the road of the anti-Japanese war and the founding of the country proposed by the principal has just taken a small step, if such a little achievement begins to be proud, it is very small, the principal, the student suggests, continue to further promote the new life movement, advocate a hard and simple, do not pay attention to luxury lifestyle, and resolutely crack down on corruption and bribery, so that there is hope for the construction of the country in the War of Resistance." ”

"The Cultural Revolution is right, now that the corruption in officialdom has risen, it should be rectified." He Yingqin also conformed to the Tao, the original atmosphere of Chongqing officialdom was relatively positive, but with the entry of the central government, the atmosphere of officialdom was affected, and after Zhuang Jihua returned from the front line a few years ago, he rectified it once, and now it has risen again.

"I have to find someone to fix it." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, his heart also began to be vigilant, Zhuang Jihua said well, from the perspective of the anti-Japanese war and the country's construction, driving out the Japanese is only a phased victory, after the war, the resettlement of refugees, the reconstruction of homes, and so on, the country must also live a period of hard life.

Just when Zhuang Jihua was summoned by Chiang Kai-shek in the Huangshan villa, Yan'an, mZD looked at the calm flowing Yanhe River with thick eyebrows, smoking heavily, the gray military uniform with scars was blown by the river breeze, and the hem fluttered gently.

The conflict in Shanxi was intensifying, and Zhou Enlai worked hard to make peace in Chongqing, but Chiang Kai-shek always insisted that Datong and Zhengtai Road must be achieved, which made it difficult for him to accept, but if he did not accept it, he would have to risk war, where to go?

mZD knows the burden on his body, he bears the fate of the whole party and the whole army, once the peace talks are broken, can he win the Kuomintang? The combat effectiveness shown by the Kuomintang army is no longer the same as that of the Anti-Japanese War. When Jiangxi was lost, the whole party and the whole army paid a huge price to go to Yan'an, and now if Yan'an is lost, where will it go?

Zhou EN came to call from Chongqing, thinking that he could take a step back, and the specific plan was to exchange Hebei for Suiyuan, Hebei is located in the Central Plains, the terrain is flat, and it is not conducive to attack, but Suiyuan can connect Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and Hebei several major bases, and can open up the connection with Outer Mongolia, which will have a significant impact on the future.

This plan should be good, but mZD has a huge grievance in his heart, Hebei is rich, Suiyuan is poor, and without Hebei's food, it will be difficult for Taihang Mountain to persist. In the midst of gains and losses, it is difficult for mZD to make decisions.

"I don't believe it, the sky is going to fall"

After thinking for a while, mZD suddenly threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the river, turned around and walked towards the military commissar, apparently, he had already made up his mind.
