Part 3: Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 10, Raging Waves, Section 5, Stalin's Attack

Zhuang Jihua said that the situation in Jiaodong is complicated, pointing out the biggest concern of the Jiaodong problem, the Kuomintang does not have an advantage in Jiaodong, and it can even be said that it has the upper hand, the GCD Jiaodong troops have about 30,000 main forces, in addition to militia and other organizations, with a strength of about 100,000, in addition, there are also Chen Y Su Y troops of the first division of the New Fourth Army and their local troops in Shandong, while in other parts of Shandong, the Kuomintang only has local security regiments, so at this stage in Shandong, the country is strong and weak. Whole \ Ben // Small \ Say // Net

"After the 74th Army arrives in Jiaodong, it can be expanded into a group army, which can change our unfavorable situation in Shandong." Zhuang Jihua added lightly.

As soon as Lin Wei heard this sentence, he understood that Chiang Kai-shek would not object, the situation in Shandong was complicated, and the two parties had reached an agreement, but the areas controlled by the two parties in Shandong were intertwined, and disputes occurred from time to time, and most of these disputes ended in the defeat of the Kuomintang, which made Chiang Kai-shek hold a lot of anger in his heart.

Sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek quickly nodded: "Okay, just the 74th Army." However, if the 53rd Army and the 2nd Cavalry Army of the 57th Army are also transferred to the North China Theater, Guan Linzheng will definitely not agree, and he must transfer a few armies to him, the North China Theater has strong troops, and after conquering Pingjin, the troops will be even stronger, and the Jianghuai Theater will have weak troops, Guan Linzheng will inevitably ask for more troops, and the central government can only transfer troops from the North China Theater. ”

Zhuang Jihua was silent, he didn't think about it, but it was already in his plan, and now it was just a difficulty, Chen Cheng saw this and said: "We must consider that if Japan does not surrender in the future, we will use force to recapture the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions. ”

Zhuang Jihua almost jumped up and kissed Chen Cheng a few times when he heard this, how could this kid be so cooperative this time, he really responded to that sentence, and when he fell asleep, he met the pillow, he hurriedly calmed down, still did not speak, and waited for Chiang Kai-shek to make a statement.

"The elite soldiers and strong generals are all concentrated in the North China Theater, Kai-shek, beware of the tail, you must take precautions."

Chiang Kai-shek reminded Chen Guofu in his mind, Chen Lifu went to Zhejiang to serve as the provincial chairman, but Chen Guofu is still the director of the third department of the chamber, some elders in the party think that Zhuang Jihua controls too many troops and must be deployed, but Chiang Kai-shek did not immediately adopt it, after the last time Zhuang Jihua was secretly promoted, Yang Yongtai was worried, and actually said that Song Meiling was moved.

Yang Yongtai's carefulness he didn't see it, but that time there was pressure from the Americans, and the two of them could not tear their faces, but now it is different, if this is the case again, whether Zhuang Jihua can accept it or not I don't know, his prestige in the whole army in the country, as well as his political and economic strength, if he really wants to fight back, the trouble is really not small.

"Well, that's right, the strength of the Jianghuai theater is very weak." Chiang Kai-shek said and looked at Zhuang Jihua with an inquiring gaze.

"In this case, the Jianghuai region is dominated by hills and rivers, and the mechanized troops are not very adaptable, and I will definitely not give it to the 49th Group Army." Zhuang Jihua made a grimace when he said this, and Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help laughing, and no one here dared to attack the idea of the 49th Group Army.

"The troops in the North China Theater have been reorganized, and most of the troops have been centralized, in terms of combat effectiveness, the 49th Group Army, the 36th Group Army, and the Fifth Group Army are the first-class, followed by the 71st, 72nd, New 1st Army, New 6th Army and other expeditionary force units," Zhuang Jihua's tone began to slow down, as if he was talking and thinking at the same time, and finally made up his mind: "In this way, the 71st and 72nd armies, well, plus the 36th Group Army, a total of 4 armies and 200,000 troops, transfer the Jianghuai Theater, Guan Linzheng should be satisfied." ”

Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, Zhuang Jihua transferred all the Central Army, which shows that he has no intention of expanding his strength, and there are Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army, the Youth Army, and Song Xilian's 2nd Army, Du Yuming's 50th Group Army, the Fifth Army, the First Mechanized Group Army, and a large number of military divisions controlled by Huangpu Sheng.

"Guan Linzheng is reorganizing the army, and these troops can be used as his basic troops, and these troops can be used to digest and absorb local troops." Zhuang Jihua directly stated his purpose.

Chen Cheng didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to accept his suggestion directly, which made him stunned, and before he could think clearly, Chiang Kai-shek nodded again and again: "Okay, this is good, four armies, 200,000 troops, the strength of the Jianghuai Theater will jump to a new level." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with this result, especially Zhuang Jihua's attitude, he met almost all of Chiang Kai-shek's requirements, and also made euphemistic suggestions, especially about Jiaodong, which shows that he did not let his guard down on GCD.

Chiang Kai-shek took a sip of water from a glass of water and moistened his throat before saying: "Cultural Revolution, your negotiations with GCD, what do you think about DXP's request?" ”

Zhuang Jihua sensed a hint of danger, he frowned, looked at Chiang Kai-shek, did not speak, Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "Do you want to accept his suggestion?" ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, but he immediately explained: "I think so, from a political point of view, before the war, the two parties fought for ten years, full of suspicion between each other, which is very unfavorable to the realization of the War of Resistance and the founding of the country, to eliminate this suspicion, rebuild the trust of the two parties, we can first make a step, Zhangjiakou is the provincial capital, but also an important town in North China, in order to meet the requirements of GCD, we give up this city, which plays an important role in our political initiative; Secondly, from a military point of view, Principal, Chief Chen, Director Lin, do you think, if the two armies face each other and fight in a dignified posture, will it be beneficial to us or to them? ”

Zhuang Jihua paused, looked at Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng and Lin Wei, and without waiting for their reply, he continued: "The answer is obvious, the national army has an absolute advantage in finance and industry, and giving them Zhangjiakou is equivalent to giving them a burden and letting them carry it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua stood up, his face was a little worried: "Students have always advocated the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but unfortunately for more than ten years, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has not been realized, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression for seven years, if the country falls into the whirlpool of civil war again after driving away the Japanese invaders, this is undoubtedly the sorrow of our nation, to avoid this result, the only way to avoid this result is to rebuild the trust of the two parties, implement political reform, and implement parliamentary politics." Rector, for a long time after the war, the country will be very difficult. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's expression was calm, and Chen Cheng was secretly happy in his heart, this is Zhuang Jihua's most fatal weakness, and it is also the biggest difference between Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek. However, what made Chen Cheng wonder was that Chiang Kai-shek's expression did not appear displeased, but was pondering, Lin Wei interjected when he saw this: "Cultural Revolution, you may be exaggerating, the country will be very difficult for a long time, how to explain this?" ”

"Well, this difficulty is mainly financial, Director Lin, from Hubei to the northeast, how many refugees are there, how many people from Xiajiang are in the southwest, they have to return to their hometowns, how many boats are needed to send them back, after returning to their hometowns, they have to work, they have to eat, in addition, the army, now there are about five million troops, can the state finance support it? Some soldiers are going to be demobilized, how will they be resettled when they return to their hometowns? These problems have to be solved by the government, and we can't push them forward. ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone was very solemn and very sincere: "We fought all the way and rescued the disaster all the way, but this kind of disaster relief is the most basic, and it can only ensure that no one starves to death, and no matter how high it is, I can't do it." ”

Lin Wei smiled and didn't speak again, in fact, he agreed with Zhuang Jihua's opinion, but he was careful that Chiang Kai-shek didn't understand, so he asked.

Chen Cheng shook his head and disagreed, Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "Chief Chen, although our current finances are difficult, we can still maintain them, the main factor is the United States, the US aid materials almost do not need money, but the Americans keep accounts, as soon as the war is over, we have to repay the debt, which costs money, and a large number of American mechanics, logistics supplements, still have to import ammunition and oil from the United States, at that time it is not bookkeeping, but cash, but do we have so much money?" ”

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the country's fiscal revenue fell sharply, and several financial crises were encountered, but the United States helped and the financial sector did not collapse, but in this way, prices soared and public resentment boiled.

Chiang Kai-shek stood up, to tell the truth, gave Zhangjia** to GCD, he was unwilling in his heart, but what Zhuang Jihua said also attracted him, first of all, the three counties in Jizhong were brought over, and the hidden dangers around Pingjin were also eliminated, and GCD, with Zhangjiakou, plus Datong, northwest Shanxi, the entire north is the world of GCD, and the strategic depth has been strengthened.

"Principal, whether it is Zhangjiakou or Suiyuan Chahar, it is a barren land, we got Jizhong, after clearing the hidden dangers around Pingjin, we have created conditions for us to vigorously develop the economy, and the struggle against GCD is long-term, peace is sometimes more effective than guns." Zhuang Jihua was a little nervous in his heart, until now he was still not sure whether Chiang Kai-shek would agree, if Chiang Kai-shek refused, he really didn't know what to do next.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Lin Wei was a little curious, this was the first time he had heard of it.

"The water flows low, and the man goes high; Lenin has a saying, poverty is the natural ally of the first, GCD occupies the poor areas, we occupy the rich areas, human nature is to yearn for a good life, why should the peasants in the countryside run to Shanghai, because it is easier to earn money there, so wealth has a natural attraction to poverty; In addition, the GCD is organized and operated in a way that is more suitable for war than for peace, for example, the rationing system that they are now in place, the advantage of this system is that the financial pressure is very low, which is feasible in war, but if it is peaceful, can it still be implemented in this way? It definitely doesn't work, so once it competes peacefully, the pressure on GCD will increase a hundredfold. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was still frowning, and after Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he sighed softly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and then looked at Chiang Kai-shek, waiting for his decision. Chen Cheng and Lin Wei did not speak, and they were all waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to make a decision.

"Can they ensure that the roads in Zhangjiakou are smooth? Wei Lihuang's troops were going to break out of the country and attack Mongolia at the beginning of May, and Zhangjiakou was located right on the logistics route, can they guarantee it? ”

Zhuang Jihua heard that Chiang Kai-shek's heart was moved, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I proposed to them that our army should keep more than 1,000 troops in Zhangjiakou, in addition, the party headquarters and the Three Youth League can openly carry out activities in Chahar, and the logistics department will set up a monitoring station in Zhangjiakou. ”

"Yes, but the GCD will have to help the refugees in the Chahar area, so we don't care." Chiang Kai-shek turned to look at Zhuang Jihua: "This is my final decision, you are right about one thing, the two armies put on a grand battle for a decisive battle, GCD is not our opponent, then peaceful competition or something, it is not likely." Zhangjiakou gave them and the two million refugees in the Chahar area also belonged to them, which is a big burden. ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be overjoyed, the stone in his heart finally landed, and he couldn't help but stand up: "That's for sure, I don't have so much food for them." ”

"Cultural Revolution, this is the last time I will make concessions to GCD, I am not worried about GCD disobedience, five million national troops, can destroy millions of Japanese troops, GCD is always more difficult to fight without the Japanese army," Chiang Kai-shek's confidence is very strong, and the momentum is also very strong: "If GCD can be solved politically, I am also willing, but it must be done in our way, GCD must hand over the army, hand over the regime, they can participate in the peaceful construction of the country." ”

In his view, Zhangjiakou was a litmus test, and if Chiang Kai-shek agreed, it would mean that it was entirely possible for him to adopt peaceful means after the war, carry out political reforms, promote the democratic process, and implement domestic peace.

But now it seems that Chiang Kai-shek still adheres to his original position, a request that the GCD will never agree to, and it is impossible to agree.

But why did Chiang Kai-shek agree? Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled, and that night, he handed over this question to Feng Yi, and after Feng Yi thought about it for a while, his face was very bad.

"Cultural Revolution, I have a worry, he is likely to have a comprehensive plan to deal with you, and he is very confident in this plan, today is just to confirm, give Zhangjia ** to GCD, this is nothing to him, Zhangjiakou is lonely, surrounded by GCD's base, stay in your hands, the defenders are more or less inconvenient, there are several advantages to handing over to GCD, the biggest advantage is that it can make you relax. Cultural Revolution, from now on, your safety precautions when going out must be mentioned to the highest, and in addition, do not go back to Chongqing easily. ”

Feng Yi was very worried, but Zhuang Jihua didn't think about it, he couldn't think of what measures Chiang Kai-shek would take against him, what plan was so determined, assassination? He doesn't think so, it may be okay to assassinate other people, if he assassinates him, once it is revealed, or if he misses, the consequences will be unimaginable, even the Whampoa family will not agree. It is possible to go back to Chongqing and be placed under house arrest, but it is also difficult to represent the party and the party, and what is the crime?

"Let's see, let's see." Zhuang Jihua's expression was very flat, since he couldn't figure it out, just wait.

Feng Yi looked at his back and was very worried, also on the plane back, Chen Cheng asked Chiang Kai-shek in a low voice, it is completely possible not to give Zhangjia ** to GCD, a few small base areas around Pingjin are nothing at all, one army can be leveled in a month, and three counties in Jizhong will be two armies for a month at most.

Chiang Kai-shek did not answer Chen Cheng's question, he just smiled faintly: "The Cultural Revolution is still young, and I still believe in the previous set of things, first move according to his ideas, and the facts will educate him." ”

Chen Cheng stopped talking, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that the relationship between the teacher and the student could still be maintained. The longer he was by Chiang Kai-shek's side, the greater the danger Lin Wei felt, and he had hinted several times that he hoped to be like Chen Lifu, but Chiang Kai-shek never let go, and after this time, he wanted to leave the chamber as soon as possible, after Zhu Shaoliang left Gansu, the chairman of Gansu Province was vacant, and he wanted to get this position.
