Section 4 The Destruction of the North China Dispatch Army XIV

In the face of the failure of the counterinsurgency, Chiang Kai-shek resolutely changed generals, and the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government issued an order to form the Northwest Frontier Army, appointing Bai Chongxi as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, responsible for the formation of the Northwest Frontier Army Command, the headquarters of Dihua, the abolition of the Xinjiang Counterinsurgency Command, and Hu Zongnan, Liu Wenhui, and Ma Bufang as deputy commanders of the Northwest Frontier Command. /。 Qb⑤.c0m\\

Following this order, the Nationalist Government officially issued a statement: "The Xinjiang rebellion is an armed rebellion planned and carried out by ethnic separatists in Xinjiang under the instigation of imperialist forces in an attempt to split our country. ”

In a few short sentences, the nature of the Xinjiang rebellion was determined, and the strategy that the Nationalist Government would adopt was clearly announced, and all walks of life in Chongqing immediately discussed it, Zhang Jingjiang, Bangyanda and others immediately expressed their support, ** and the Democratic League cautiously expressed their hope for a negotiated settlement, and the Shabaab demanded that the government take stronger action to dig out the black hands behind it.

Yang Yongtai, the head of the Nationalist Government, summoned Soviet Russian Ambassador Pan Youxin and announced that the Nationalist Government had decided to close the Russian consulates in Xinjiang.

"How did the Xinjiang rebellion happen, does it have anything to do with your country, you and I know very well, I'm Ellingbac has seized a large number of weapons made by your country, and among the captured rebels are Soviet officers and soldiers, is Alexandrov, the commander-in-chief of the rebels, a noble **person? Although we haven't found out his real name yet, we will definitely find out! Yang Yongtai did not accept Pan Youxin's protest, but told him unceremoniously that the Soviet Russian Consulate in Dihua and the "Consulate in Yining" in Chenghua and Artush must be closed within 48 hours, and the consulate personnel must leave the country within 24 hours after the consulate closes. This order, legally, uprooted all the consulates of Soviet Russia in Xinjiang.

Stalin was very angry at Chiang Kai-shek's actions and ordered a protest to the Nationalist Government, while informing the United States and Great Britain, and then Stalin ordered the closure of the Sino-Soviet corridor "to stop supplying any material to China, and to demand that China immediately return the Russian loan." Secretly, Stalin telegraphed to Yan'an, hoping that Yan'an would bring about a peaceful settlement of the Xinjiang incident.

After receiving Stalin's request, Yan'an felt very embarrassed, although he did not have a good impression of the Xinjiang rebellion, but after all, the Xinjiang rebellion dragged down the strength of the Kuomintang "More importantly, the Xinjiang rebellion involved Soviet Russia, although the two parties are now nominally equal, but Stalin is recognized as the leader of the world movement, and his demand "Yan'an cannot take it lightly."

The leaders of the Politburo in Yan'an gathered again in the cave of MZD, the smoke in the cave was billowing, everyone did not speak, MZD sat on a rattan chair, covered his mouth with his big hand and smoked heavily, it could be seen that "the meeting has been going on for a while."

The leaders of ** are in a dilemma, and the members of the Politburo are divided into two factions, Zhang... Tian Kangsheng was a faction that "believed that it could respond to Stalin's request to launch a political offensive in Chongqing to force Chiang Kai-shek to negotiate with the leaders of the Xinjiang incident; The other faction is Zhu. Led by Liu Siqi, who had just returned from the front, he believed that the Kuomintang transferred Bai Chongxi to Xinjiang, indicating that the Kuomintang had made up its mind to quell the rebellion in Xinjiang by force, and the report sent by Zhou Ganglai from Chongqing showed that our party was very passive in this matter, and the main party of the "Kuomintang" was divided, and the "Democrat" main party led by Deng Yanda and Zhang Lan supported the Kuomintang to suppress the rebellion; Led by Yang Zhenxuan, Feng Ulan and others, they opposed the use of force to suppress the rebellion.

There was a knock at the door, and then the door was pushed open, Yang Skun came in from the outside, MZD looked at him a little nervously, he knew that if there was no major matter, Yang Ckun would never come in at this time to disturb the political meeting, the news came from the North China front, the Kuomintang army eliminated the Japanese army in Gubeikou, captured Gu Shoufu, Tsuchihashi Yuyoshi, Saeki Fumiro, Shikawa Jiro and other lieutenant generals more than 13,000 people, and killed nearly 40,000 people under Lieutenant General Suesei San and Lieutenant General Ozaki Yoshiharu. Part of the forces of the 5th Division and the 36th Division escaped from the encirclement from the direction of the Simatai Great Wall. In addition, the three troops of the river side were raided by the Dai Anlan Department of the New Eighth Army, and the troops were divided into several sections, and the entire army was destroyed in these two days.

The 101st Army and the New 6th Army, under the leadership of Guo Xunqi, commander of the 49th Group Army, continued to attack northward and conquered Luanping, and the forward was advancing towards Chengde. ”

MZD extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand on the sole of his shoe, and took out another cigarette to light it, his brows were always deeply furrowed, and the atmosphere in the cave did not improve with this unprecedented victory, but became more dignified.

Since the beginning of the decisive battle in North China, the Kuomintang army has shown superhuman tenacity and greatly enhanced its combat effectiveness, which is a good thing for the War of Resistance, but what about the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army after the war?

"This is a great victory" MZD glanced at the cave, taking in the expressions of the people attending the meeting, including Zhu. All had heavy expressions: "After this victory, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will move towards a stage of rapid victory, and the recovery of the Northeast will be just around the corner." ”

Cinnabar. Nodding his head slightly, the atmosphere in the cave was slightly lighter, and MDZ continued: "This victory is bound to boost the prestige of the Kuomintang, and Chiang Kai-shek's recent actions have also made the people of the Kuomintang rejoice, but it doesn't matter, our party will continue to adhere to the anti-Japanese united front and promote the victory of the war of resistance against Japan." ”

Liu Siqi nodded slightly, he had already heard the meaning of MDZ's words, ** would not completely break with the Kuomintang at this time, which meant that he would not fully follow Moscow's requirements.

MDZ's tone was relatively slow, his eyes wandering in the cave, but his thoughts were very clear: "Our goal is to promote the establishment of a coalition government, to achieve peace in the country after the war, and to promote the development of democratic politics." To achieve this goal, "it is necessary to vigorously develop the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army." The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will become an important force for maintaining peace after the war. ”

Speaking of this, pcmdz picked up the teacup and drank saliva, but found that there was no water in the cup, so he lifted the water bottle to fill the cup with water, and then continued: "The Xinjiang incident is the result of the brutal persecution of the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang by the Kuomintang government, and we must morally support the just cause of the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang."

Cinnabar. Liu Siqi couldn't help but be a little surprised, from Zhou Enlai's report, the Kuomintang's attitude was resolute, and Chiang Kai-shek even sent troops from the Jiangnan Theater to participate in the counterinsurgency, and at this time, ** expressed support, which was bound to take a big political risk.

"Some of our friends may not understand our decision" MDZ added a nonchalant smile: "I still say that the democrats, in essence, are still representatives of the bourgeoisie, and there is a great political wavering, and Chiang Kai-shek will rejoice if he gives in a little, and they are only fellow travelers of the revolution, not grass-roots." For them, we must unite and fight at the same time.

Struggle is a good thing, do not be afraid of struggle, only through struggle can we know more clearly who is our friend and who is our enemy, comrades, once we openly support the peace talks, we are bound to bear more pressure, and the comrades of the whole party must be prepared for this. MDZ stood up as he spoke, the cave was already crowded, but under his Gundam figure, the space was compressed at once, and it seemed to be even more crowded. But as he stood up, the momentum with which he spoke became stronger.

"Politically, we must continue to promote the 'people's' mastery, push for the end of the Kuomintang one-party**, and push the country to move towards the 'people's' mastery. Militarily, it is necessary to seize the opportunity of Japan's defeat, vigorously expand the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army, vigorously expand the base areas, and strategically still implement the strategic policy of consolidating to the south and developing to the north," told Peng. Comrade Huai, be sure to get in touch with Méng. ”

Liu Siqi exhaled softly, he understood why MDZ made such a decision, this time MDZ must respond to Moscow's request, and even make the necessary cooperation, the purpose is to obtain Moscow's support after the war, in the Soviet-Japanese war, because of the rejection of Moscow's demand, Stalin has been very dissatisfied, this time if he does not make a point, what will Stalin do in the future? No one knows.

Cinnabar. At the same time, he also exhaled, he also understood what MDZ meant, and his support for Xinjiang was more after the war, but with the current strength of the Kuomintang, it is possible to pacify the Xinjiang incident, and if the goal of peacefully resolving the Xinjiang incident is achieved, unless Soviet Russia invests more forces, it may even be possible to send troops directly.

"Comrades, I suggest that Comrade Lin B form a Northeast Tǐng Army, prepare to go to the Northeast to fight, and form a subordinate unit of Tǐng March, and instruct Peng. Comrade Huai and Comrade Lin B discussed and reported to the Central Military Commission for approval.

"Agreed." "Agreed." Voices of consent rang out in the cavern, and the decision was quickly passed.

"Chairman" Zhu. His brows furrowed slightly: "Did Comrade Stalin inform us of what their purpose was?" How much do you plan to invest? MDZ shook his head slightly to indicate that he did not know, in fact, from the time he received Stalin's telegram, he understood that the Kuomintang's accusations against Soviet Russia were not without reason. At the same time, he also understands Zhu. 's worries, if the Kuomintang succeeds in attacking by force after ** comes forward to promote a peaceful settlement, then ** will not sacrifice in vain.

"No matter what Stalin did, we will stand out of support for the just cause of the people of Xinjiang." MDZ Chong Zhu. A faint smile: "Comrades, in the process of pursuing justice and light, there will always be sacrifices. However, one thing to understand is that the support for the Xinjiang incident is limited to morality, and militarily, our main work is still to cooperate with the Kuomintang troops in their counteroffensive against Japan. ”

Cinnabar. Understood, MDZ is obviously not optimistic about the development of the Xinjiang incident, if it were not for Moscow's request, I am afraid it would not have made any statement, and now doing some work can be regarded as a response to Moscow, and Moscow cannot ask for any military action. @。
