Shanghai, Zhuang Jihua's heart thumped, it was finally here, without the Battle of Shanghai, there would have been no Nanjing Massacre; To tell the truth, his understanding of the history of the War of Resistance is free of several major events, the July 7 Incident, the Nanjing Massacre, and others, sorry, have long been lost in the Di Bar and the wine table, and he doesn't even know about the August 13 Anti-Japanese War, but isn't this him, the military skills given to him in this era can easily judge that the Japanese army of the Nanjing Massacre can only come from Shanghai. \\.ｑВ⑤、ｃｏМ//

He hurriedly said goodbye to the people in the house, and when he came to the door, he hesitated again, and finally turned to Li Zongren and said, "Duke De, why don't we go together." ”

Li Zongren smiled faintly: "I think it's better to forget it, the chairman didn't let me go, don't worry, I understand, the chairman is really going to resist Japan this time, what to do, I know." ”

Zhuang Jihua exhaled softly, nodded from the people in the house and turned to leave, leaving a room of worries.

Passing through the playground where the Central Military Academy was exercising at night, Zhuang Jihua quickly rushed to the outside of the rest house, and as soon as he arrived in Tang Zong, he took him to Chiang Kai-shek's study, this study Zhuang Jihua also came in the past few days, and the first few times he came to the rest house was either in the living room or in the small garden outside.

There were not only Chiang Kai-shek but also Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhizhong, Lin Wei, He Yingqin, and Yang Yongtai waiting in the study. When Chiang Kai-shek saw Zhuang Jihua coming in, he casually motioned for him to sit down, Zhuang Jihua didn't bother to greet him, and asked while sitting: "What happened in Shanghai?" "Cha's Japanese soldiers." Chen Cheng explained the matter clearly in one sentence: "It's the Japanese Marine Corps." ”

"Marines?" Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised: "Japan wants to provoke trouble in Shanghai and attack Shanghai?" ”

"There is such a possibility," Zhang Zhizhong interjected: "However, my idea is that we should take advantage of this matter to concentrate our forces in Shanghai and attract the main force of the Japanese army to Shanghai." ”

"Yes, the terrain in North China is flat, and it is easy to attack and not to defend, which is convenient for the mechanized movement of the Japanese army. Moreover, the Japanese reinforcements from the northeast were also very fast; This was not the case in the Shanghai operation, because Jiangnan was mostly a water network zone, which was not conducive to the mechanized movement of the Japanese army, and it was convenient for our troops to assemble, and the troops in Guangxi and Guangdong had to travel half the way less, and in addition, the transportation of weapons and ammunition was also extremely convenient, and the ships departing from Sichuan could go straight down the river to Nanjing. Significant reduction in shipping time. Chen Cheng said.

"But Shanghai is an international city. Once a fight breaks out in Shanghai, it will inevitably cause international interference, and Shanghai is a financial center. It's an industrial center again, and if it is broken, the country's economy will come to a complete standstill. And it's not about making a big deal small, it's about expanding the war. He Yingqin, however, did not approve of a war in Shanghai. In his opinion, this was a pure risk, and he had already drawn up a detailed and meticulous plan for the battle in North China, and the troops had begun to move north. It's almost child's play to change the battle plan now.

Minister He is right. This is the expansion of the war," Zhuang Jihua said. We have no way back unless the Japanese are willing to restore the situation they had before the Lugou Bridge incident. Otherwise, how could the national government account to the people of the world, and how could the principal explain to the people of the whole country. ”

"Strategically. The war in Shanghai was when we led the enemy by the nose; This was not the case in North China, where the Japanese army was preparing for a decisive battle in North China, and they wanted to decide China in a war. I once discussed with General Baili, and he thought that the most dangerous thing was that the Japanese army followed the old road of the Mongols to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty at the end of the Song Dynasty, first occupied Shanxi and Shaanxi, and then crossed the Qinling Mountains to attack Sichuan. The army from the west and the army from North China to the south flanked Central China, occupied the two lakes, and finally attacked Jiangnan. If the Japanese army follows this route, we will be very dangerous, and if we start a war in Shanghai, then we can attract the Japanese army to attack along the Yangtze River, wear down the Japanese army in the lofty mountains on both sides of the Yangtze River, drag on the war, and gain the strategic initiative. ”

When Zhuang Jihua said, Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong Lin Wei nodded frequently, He Yingqin, Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Yongtai frowned, Yang Yongtai couldn't help but retort: "Cultural Revolution, have you thought about it, if this is the case, the battle of Shanghai is likely to evolve into a decisive battle between the two armies, and once lost, the war may spread to Nanjing." ”

"If we don't start a war in Shanghai, won't the war spread to Nanjing?" Zhuang Jihua's demeanor was very calm but very keen: "Even if we fight in North China, we must leave heavy troops in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou to defend against the sneak attack of the Japanese army, and the North China operation has become timid, once defeated, the Japanese army can use mechanized troops to pursue, and our army will be crushed for thousands of miles, and the 29th Army did not build national defense fortifications in North China, but we built national defense fortifications in the south of the Yangtze River, leading the Japanese army to the defense fortifications to kill and wound a large number of people, and consume its vital strength, which is beneficial to our army." ”

"During the Cultural Revolution, didn't some of our troops already be equipped with heavy artillery such as 150 howitzers, with such powerful firepower, they could completely engage the Japanese army head-on." Chiang Kai-shek also asked, Zhuang Jihua did not expect that his southwest development would make Chiang Kai-shek's confidence so high that he would have a head-on battle with the Japanese army.

"Headmaster, although the caliber of artillery has increased, what about training? Our army has been equipped with 150 artillery pieces for a short time, except for a few group armies in the southwest, the training of other units has not kept up, does the commander know how to use these cannons? I'm not sure. Zhuang Jihua said very seriously: "Moreover, there are logistical problems, and more importantly, the decisive battle in North China caters to the Japanese army's strategy, not our army to grasp the strategic initiative." ”

"The Cultural Revolution is right," Chen Cheng also interjected, he had already talked about this issue before Zhuang Jihua came, and firmly advocated the Shanghai operation: "We have a much more advantageous operation in Shanghai, we have a defense line, convenient transportation, lakes and harbors, which can effectively offset the Japanese army's ground mobility, and the defense is not conducive to attack." ”

"The first strike is the strongest," Zhang Zhizhong emphasized the precedence of the battle: "Instead of sitting and attacking." Moreover, the number of Japanese troops in Shanghai was not large, less than 5,000 people, and we attacked with the main force, first solving the marines in Shanghai, and preventing the Japanese army from using Shanghai to attack our army. ”

"Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, I think this policy is feasible, although some achievements have been made in the development of the southwest, the gap between our national strength and Japan is still very obvious, Shanghai is an international center, and fighting here can give various countries a reason to interfere." Lin Wei's words were more steady, but they really moved Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek could not make up his mind whether to start a war in Shanghai, and the importance of Shanghai to China cannot be overstated. Moreover, due to the development of the southwest and the large amount of funds provided by Zhuang Jihua, 30 German armament divisions have been organized, plus 300,000 in the southwest, so there are 700,000 German armament troops.

This breath has been held for so long, so that he does not vomit unpleasantly. But the opinions of Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, and Zhuang Jihua, the three important generals, made him hesitate a little, and of course he knew the gap between China and Japan; But the feeling of wanting to breathe out was too strong, and it was always beating in my heart. But Lin Weidi's suggestion made him think differently. As soon as the Lugou Bridge Incident came out, he asked Europe and the United States to mediate, but only Germany agreed, and Britain and the United States refused without hesitation. All countries have interests in Shanghai. It is impossible for the Shanghai war not to touch them, they united to put pressure on the Japanese, so it is not "if you fight in Shanghai" to return to the Lugou Bridge incident before the incident. How are you going to fight? Chiang Kai-shek asked hesitantly.

"According to the Songhu Armistice Agreement, the Shanghai defenders were security regiments. But that's nothing, we can get the soldiers to change into security corps uniforms and enter the city. Chen Cheng had a plan in mind. At this moment, he seemed very confident: "In addition, secretly gather troops to the periphery of Shanghai, and concentrate eighty-seven." Eighty-eight, thirty-six divisions. At the same time, an offensive was launched to try to take Shanghai in one fell swoop before the Japanese army could reinforce it. ”

"What if you don't take Shanghai?" Chiang Kai-shek asked quietly.

"This is possible, if we do not take Shanghai before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, then the war is likely to turn into a decisive battle, so for the sake of safety, behind the three divisions, we must continue to increase the number of troops, I suggest that the decisive battle in North China be abandoned and the troops transferred north to Shanghai will be transferred." Chen Cheng said.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered silently for a moment, turned his gaze to Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua said: "Teacher Chen's consideration is very thorough, I will ask a question, and tell the principal one more thing." ”

Zhuang Jihua's words made everyone stunned, and before Chiang Kai-shek asked anything, Zhuang Jihua said: "Who does the commander choose?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong immediately shut up, it stands to reason that the plan was formulated by Chen Cheng, but Zhang Zhizhong fought in Shanghai in 128, knew the Shanghai operation well, and had experience in the field of war with the Japanese army, in comparison, he seems to be more suitable. Suitable? Chiang Kai-shek asked casually.

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment, he looked at Chiang Kai-shek, this is not easy to say, obviously Chen Cheng wants to be this commander, but Zhang Zhizhong is a better candidate, but this is not a word, as soon as he says it, he will definitely offend Chen Cheng. Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek didn't have the slightest expression, just looked at him.

"I recommend Mr. Zhang," Zhuang Jihua smiled apologetically at Chen Cheng: "The plan was formulated by Mr. Chen, and it stands to reason that he should be the commander, but Mr. Zhang fought in Shanghai in 128, is very familiar with the Shanghai operation, and has experience in fighting with the Japanese army, the 87th, 88th, and 36th divisions have all fought under his command, and they also know the troops very well, of course, they are all suitable candidates, and the principal can be selected at his discretion." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, did not say who he had in mind, but asked rhetorically: "You just said that you want to report something, what is it?" ”

Zhuang Jihua then talked about the question between Li Zongren and He Jian just now, and finally said: "It seems that the local powerful faction still has doubts in their hearts, and Director Deng and Director Zhou's purpose is to promote the War of Resistance, and the reason why they came to visit Liu Xiang is only because Liu Xiang generously fought at the National Defense Conference in the past two days. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded again, thought for a while and said: "Your judgment is correct, I also noticed that although Li Zongren came, Bai Chongxi stayed in Guangxi, the purpose is to take precautions; As for Deng Zesheng and GD, of course, they hope that the more people who advocate the war of resistance, the better. By the way, if the GD negotiation can be delayed any longer, the battle will get bigger and bigger, and their strength will be useful. ”

"Chairman, their asking price is too high, so if you agree like this, there will be endless troubles in the future." Yang Yongtai frowned, he was one of the people involved in the negotiations, and he was very clear about the tangled issues, and the asking prices on both sides were very high.

"Tell me what to do." Chiang Kai-shek asked.

Among the people present, Lin Wei and Chen Cheng have participated in the negotiations, but the others have not participated, so He Yingqin asked what the key to the negotiations was, and Yang Yongtai gave a general introduction.

On the whole, the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party went fairly smoothly, the two sides agreed to stop the civil war, the GD side to cease all activities to overthrow the government, to stop the land policy, and the number of troops was divided into three divisions; On the other hand, the encirclement and suppression of GD were stopped, and GD was declared a legal political party, and GD people participated in the government; At present, the two sides are deadlocked between the government and the army, and the ****** side demands that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region be abolished, the army is under the direct command of the Military Commission, the central government sends a political training regiment to station, and the main generals are appointed by the central government******.

"I'm afraid it won't work, the army is under independent command, what kind of cooperation is this to resist Japan, absolutely not, it must be included in the unified command of the central government, otherwise it is not the same with or without." He Yingqin said dissatisfiedly after hearing this.

"Some things can be understood, over the years, so many grudges have been accumulated, it is very difficult to eliminate them at once," Zhang Zhizhong said after deliberation: "I suggest that the government issue be accepted and set up as the SAR government, and the army can also accept it, but the independent command system cannot accept it, otherwise how can we fight?" ”

"Cultural Revolution, what is your opinion?" Chiang Kai-shek said lightly: "This is not a battle, and it does not violate our agreement." ”

"Principal, if you don't ask, I'm going to say," Zhuang Jihua smiled: "Negotiating with them is to consider the grievances between the two parties, but don't suffer some dumb losses just because we hold power." ”

"Dumb loss? How do you say that? Yang Yongtai asked puzzled, he carefully thought about the conditions in the negotiation, and felt that he had not suffered any loss, and the conditions promised must be agreed, otherwise what kind of cooperation would be discussed.

"They will definitely not agree to hand over power," Zhuang Jihua did not answer directly: "So the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Special Economic Zone can agree, but there are negotiable things, for example, they will definitely set up an office in Nanjing, and even ask to send personnel or set up offices in other cities such as Wuhan and Chongqing, and will also ask for the publication of newspapers and so on in the future. I think it's hard for us to refuse, so the first thing I want to propose is that they have an office in Nanjing or Wuhan, and we also have to set up an office in Yan'an, and they have to run a newspaper in the Guotong region, and our newspaper has to be published in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo. The second, with regard to the army, they will not hand over the army either, nor will they fully obey the central command, for? Mao Zdong is also worried that how many people they can have, a war of attrition will be gone. Therefore, this is their bottom line, and we can't fight for it no matter how much we fight, so it is better to give up, but there is one thing that must be added, that is, the army's operational area and the expansion of the troops must obtain the consent of the central authorities, and it is not allowed to expand the military without authorization, nor is it allowed to fight across regions without authorization, and it must obey the command of the commander of the theater, and this article must be put on paper
