Late that night, Xiaolu received a call from Huang Lao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Lao said: "I want to talk to you, your staff said that you just finished a meeting. Don't know if you have time now? ”

Xiaolu said: "I'm just done, I'll come to you." ”

Huang Lao said: "I'll come to you." ”

Xiaolu said: "You are Huang Lao, I am Xiaolu." You're welcome. ”

When I arrived at Mr. Huang's office, there was a strong smell of smoke in the room, and it was obvious that he had just finished a meeting.

Xiaolu said: "Huang Lao took office, and he had a lot of problems, but he was in a hurry to find me, it must be a big deal." ”

Huang Lao said: "I want to discuss with you the next strategic issue. I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and now I have to talk to you about it. ”

Xiaolu said: "It turned out that it was not a problem of Tianjin. Please speak. I'm listening. ”

Huang Lao said: "Yan'an's decision, first hit Tianjin, cut off the railway, and trapped Baoding." Cutting the wings first, obviously to eat the 200,000 people in Beiping. ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes, our troops have conquered Tangshan. Tianjin has just been recovered. Jidong has been fully recovered. At present, there are still one piece of Zhangjiakou, one piece of Inner Mongolia, one piece of Shanxi, and one piece of Beiping north of the Yellow River. ”

Huang Lao said: "If there is a decisive battle in Beiping, will Beiping be defeated?" ”

Xiaolu said: "What does Huang Lao think of Beiping?" ”

Huang Lao said: "The Japanese will be finished sooner or later, and after the Japanese go out, we and Lao Jiang will definitely confront each other in the north and south." I think that the central government should be in Beiping in the future. ”

Xiaolu said: "So you want to save a complete Beiping?" It's not easy. "To protect Beiping, it is difficult to guarantee the behavior of the Japanese. As long as they decide to fight a decisive battle in Beiping, Beiping will be crushed.

Huang Lao said: "I heard that you people in the northeast want the central government to move to Changchun?" What do you think? ”

Xiaolu said: "Eighty percent of the people in the Northeast Bureau have this discussion. Personally, I have not expressed my opinion, and after listening to Yan'an's thoughts, I was a little hesitant. ”

Huang Lao said: "I don't agree with this idea. ”

Xiaolu said: "I know, you have always thought that the central government should be in Beiping. Wait a minute. He said to the door: "Staff officer, immediately prepare two dinners for us, and get one more hot soup for Huang Lao." Bring me another blanket, yes, another pair of cotton socks. Huang Lao's clothes are very thin. Three more staff officers will record my conversation with Huang Lao. ”

Huang Lao's clothes were shabby, he didn't wear socks, his eyes were not good, and he only spoke to a shadow on the path.

Wherever the two of them thought, they talked about it, the sea and the sky, first talked about Tianjin, and immediately talked about Beiping, and then North China. North China and Shandong are inextricably linked, and we talk about Shandong. The campaign had high logistical requirements and material demand, so Huang Lao asked Xiaolu to introduce the production in the Northeast. Production in the Northeast is a big topic, obviously, Huang Lao has paid attention to the Northeast, and the questions raised are the key.

The conversation was very divergent, gradually diverging to Central China, Shanxi.

Huang Lao finished talking about the idea of Nanjing, and we should take advantage of the east wind of liberating northern Jiangsu to liberate Shanghai and Nanjing. These two cities are the two most important cities in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The occupation of Nanjing has very important political significance, and the occupation of Shanghai has political and economic significance. He obviously thinks a lot about this, and he says it most systematically.

At this time, aren't you worried that Chongqing will fight with us? Unafraid. Chongqing has some troops in the mountainous areas of Zhejiang, and there are also some troops in Jiangxi, which pose no threat to us. We have to move big and fast.

When it comes to the question of the path of escape of Japanese soldiers and civilians in Shanghai, the topic naturally jumps to North Korea and Japan. Because Xiaolu is very familiar with these two places, he mainly listens to Xiaolu. Ask questions from time to time. At the beginning, most of the questions were asked about human geography, the underground party, the puppet government, and the Japanese government, and slowly asked about the economy and people's livelihood, politics, political parties, etc.

He only asked about the DPRK nuclear issue and did not comment on it

The two of them continued until dawn, and Xiaolu said: "Can you send a suggestion telegram to northern Shaanxi in the name of the two of us." Even if they don't agree, it's good to raise the issue. ”

The history of Huang Lao has also changed, and although he did not send out the 1945 proposal telegram, he did send a proposal telegram on the North China strategy. The main idea was to get a good grasp of the construction of the Hebei base area, postpone the attack on Beiping, encircle the three and lack one, and cut off the wings first, so as to prevent the Japanese troops from Shanxi and Inner Mongolia from escaping into Beiping. Various measures should be taken to avoid smashing Beiping, and in the future, the founding of the country should be established as the capital of Beiping, and Beiping should be restored to its old name Beijing.

Occupy Pyongjin and North Korea to ensure the security of the Northeast heavy industry base.

Historically, his suggestion can be said to be groundbreaking, and the suggestion point is basically consistent with Yan'an's thinking, and many details are said, which promotes Yan'an's determination, resulting in the later layout of the Northeast, which is basically in accordance with his suggestion. The far-reaching impact of his proposal cannot be overstated.

Now, he has put forward suggestions on the layout of North China and even the whole country in the next few years.

After the telegram was sent, the whole of Hebei began to build political power under the leadership of the Northern Bureau. In addition to Beiping, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, and the railway from Beiping to Zhangjiakou, the whole of Hebei has been recovered.

The telegram was sent, and it was already noon, and the two of them went back to their posts, dealt with some affairs, and rested for a while. At ten o'clock in the evening, Huang Lao asked to talk to Xiao Lu again, and Xiao Lu proposed to invite the commanders of the front command to attend the meeting, and Huang Lao agreed.

This time, Xiao Lu personally arranged for the new glasses he had prepared, and he put on the glasses and finally saw Xiao Lu's appearance clearly.

Huang Lao couldn't wait and immediately began to talk about his thoughts on North Korea's nuclear Japan. Out of the path, the other commanders didn't know what the two talked about last night, so they couldn't interject, they could only listen to Xiaolu and Huang Lao talking.

The two talked for two hours, and the topic basically focused on the Japanese attack and the arrangements for Korea. The other commanders understood and began to interject. Speaking of excitement, there were even generals who slapped the table and lifted the bench to attack Japan.

Xiaolu called this meeting the Immortal Society, and only kept records and did not form any resolutions. In the future, the staff officers will sort out and summarize the conversation and send it to Yan'an along with the original records. According to Xiaolu, it is also beneficial to ask Yan'an to understand the situation in North China and understand the thoughts of the troops in North China.

The records of the first conversation between Xiaolu and Huang Lao, as well as the second conversation of all the commanders, were classified as extremely confidential documents, and a copy was immediately copied and sent to Yan'an by telegram.

February 12, 1944. The army that rushed back from Outer Mongolia converged with the army near Zhangjiakou and conquered Zhangjiakou in one fell swoop. Because of the disparity in numbers, the remnants of the Japanese army evacuated Zhangjiakou and fled to Datong.

February 16, 1944. He Long's first division and Fu Zuoyi's troops conquered Guisui, and the remnants of the enemy fled into Datong. Fu Zuoyi's troops were stationed in Guisui and established a government, while He Long pursued the Japanese army and recovered Jining five days later. So far, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia have all recovered.

Entering February, the situation in Tianjin quickly stabilized, production resumed, and business activities resumed. The railway from Tianjin to the Northeast was repaired, the trade route was smooth, and a large number of goods from the Northeast entered Tianjin. Tianjin's economic situation is stable.

The large army that liberated Tianjin, as well as other troops of the Northeast Coalition Army, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army began to besiege Beijing. The direction of the siege of the Northeast Coalition Army of the Eighth Route Army was south and northeast. A hole was left on the west side, especially the northwest side.

There is an interesting aspect of the situation in North China, which is Shanxi. It seems that only a small number of troops remained of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, as if they all went to Hebei. Unlike Hebei's earth-shattering attacks, Shanxi's Lao Eighth Road only occupied a large number of county towns and rural areas, and did not attack large and medium-sized cities.

Seeing that the situation was favorable, the Jin army in Shanxi began to counterattack, gradually occupying some counties and some cities. In the central and southern parts of Shanxi, along the valley of the Fen River, to the north to Datong, the Japanese army and the Jin army were all fighting, and the Eighth Route Army occupied the poor areas in the mountainous areas.

Beiping is the headquarters of the Japanese army stationed in North China, and it is also the headquarters of the North China Imperial Army. Most of the Japanese puppet troops who returned from the Battle of Shanhaiguan were stationed in Beiping and the county towns near Beiping. After the last Eight-Nation Coalition offensive, the Battle of Lugou Bridge opened here. However, both campaigns were small in scale and were carried out in the suburbs, and it had been too long since the city had not been affected by the fighting.

Although the Forbidden City here has no internal cultural relics, the Forbidden City itself is an incomparably precious cultural relic. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the ancient capital of Beijing seems to be a precious porcelain, shining with cultural brilliance everywhere. An attack on the Japanese army will surely shatter this porcelain full of cultural charm.

The purpose of encircling Beiping from three directions was to leave a way out for the Japanese troops so that they could escape. For this reason, the Eighth Route Army ordered to abandon Zhangjiakou, which had just been occupied, and to abandon the attack on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. These actions clearly show that the Japanese army in North China, you can escape and go from Zhangjiakou to Shanxi.

1. The story of "Huang Lao" took place in 1945. At that time, Huang Kecheng sent a telegram to the central government, requesting that 100,000 troops be sent to the northeast. Huang Kecheng has an excellent strategic vision and overall perspective.

2. Huang Kecheng's 1945 proposal content: 1). Lao Chiang had no sincerity in the peace talks, and we should not have illusions about the peace talks, but should base ourselves on fighting, and while negotiating with Chiang, we should concentrate our main forces on preparing for a decisive battle. 2)。 Although we have many bases, they are not connected and scattered. The acquisition of a large strategic base area that is linked together is conducive to a long-term struggle. For this reason, in terms of military deployment, it is suggested that at least 50,000 troops should be sent to the northeast, and 100,000 should be the best, and that a respected army leader should be sent to preside over the work, so as to quickly establish a general base area in the northeast to support the operation in the Guannai. 3)。 With the Jin, Sui, and Chacha regions as the first-line strategic base areas, and the Shandong region as the second strategic base area, the Guannai region will concentrate the main forces and destroy the enemy. 4)。 In order to implement the above policy, it is proposed that 3 to 50,000 men be transferred from Shandong to the northeast, and 3 to 60,000 men from central China should be transferred to the northeast, leaving only one division to operate in the south of the Yangtze River. Units from Henan and North China should be transferred to Shanxi to respond. 5)。 We cannot hope for international intervention and concentrate forces for a decisive battle.

3, Huang Kecheng joined Tang Shengzhi's army in his early years and participated in the Nanchang Uprising and went to Jinggangshan. In 1931, the Soviet District Suppression Committee arrested Huang Kecheng, who was then the political commissar of the Third Division of the Red Third Army, saying that he was **** and wanted to be shot. Huang Lao saved his life, but he didn't know that it was Mr. Peng who protected him.
