Chapter 83: Lao Jiang's Plans
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek also wondered in his heart, where did this Han Yunhua come from, how would he know that the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou was blown up by his order, for the secret surname of the mission, and in order not to be poked in his back by the world in the future, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately made a lot of efforts to conceal this matter.
First of all, the First Theater worked out a strategy for publicizing the Yellow River at Huayuankou as soon as it was destroyed, and the new 8th Division, which was responsible for the bursting of the Huayuankou embankment, sent a military intelligence report to Wuhan from the scene when the embankment was about to be successfully breached, saying that the two [***] teams of the Chinese and Chinese warplanes were fighting fiercely in the eastern Henan area, and that military planes bombed indiscriminately, causing the Yellow River embankment to burst. Then, the Kuomintang Central News Agency, in its capacity as the State Information Center, disseminated information to the world that the Yellow River embankment had been blown up by the Chinese army. Later, a large number of royal literati of the Kuomintang were mobilized to publicize this matter, and the basin was detained on the head of Yue himself. As for those who have a criminal record, they are yellow mud and fell into the crotch, and it is not but is also.
I thought that this matter was done seamlessly, and only God knew that he knew, but Chiang Kai-shek never expected that Han Yunhua, who was far away in Saibei, would vaguely propose this matter to him.
In addition, Chiang Kai-shek is also very happy to see himself and the Eighth Route Army fight to the death, so that no matter who is dead or injured, it will benefit him and Jiang Someone. After the fall of Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek was also very afraid that the mechanized troops of the Yue army would quickly march into Henan, and then threaten Wuhan, which is now the political and economic center of China.
Originally, the situation was about to erupt, and the large forces of the Central China Front had already gathered in the Wuhu area, just waiting for the main force of the North China Front to converge in the south. Unexpectedly, a stunned young man of the old opponent [***] suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of Terauchi Shouichi, without the cooperation of the North China Front, the Central China Front Army did not have the strength to launch such a large-scale battle unilaterally, so Han Yunhua's department directly carried the black pot for him Jiang someone.
For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek was also happy for a while, happy that he had insisted on strengthening the strength of Han Yunhua's department in spite of everyone's opposition. Chiang Kai-shek proudly thought that as the supreme leader of a country, he must have the courage to take a far-sighted view. Who can really understand his Jiang someone's vision, he has the feeling of loneliness of a master.
But now Han Yunhua's telegram shattered all Chiang Kai-shek's illusions, making Chiang Kai-shek understand that in this world, only he, Chiang Kai-shek, can see the current situation clearly, and a small "brigade commander" of the Eighth Route Army can also analyze the current situation. Not to mention Zhu, Mao, Zhou and others, and the old fox Shouichi in the temple who is far away in Beiping is an old devil who can't rub sand in his eyes, and he can't escape his eyes when he thinks about the current situation. Now people don't fight Wuhan, they just want to get rid of Han Yunhua, who is making trouble in the rear of the occupied area, and then concentrate on cleaning up him Jiang someone. It seems that it is really as the little brigade commander of [***] said, it is he Jiang who underestimated the world.
Chiang Kai-shek, who came back to his senses, coughed lightly, woke up Dai Li, who had been waiting a little impatiently, and then asked slowly: "Yunong, what do you think of this telegram from Han Yunhua?" ”
Dai Li said cautiously: "Principal, this Han Yunhua can be said to be an alternative in the Eighth Route Army, and it can be seen from his combat methods. He is not good at the guerrilla theory of Zhu Mao and others, but seems to prefer to fight positional warfare with devils, and what we can verify is that Han Yunhua fought, and every time it was a large-scale positional warfare. Whether it is the ambush of the reinforcements of the Fifth Division of the Devil, or the battle with Gu Shoufu's department not long ago, Han Yunhua uses heavy troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy, which is completely different from Zhu Mao and others, who only ambush and kill and do not completely annihilate the enemy, so we can't treat this Han Yunhua as an ordinary [***] Eighth Route Army general. ”
"Oh, what do you think? Could it be that I also treat him and Zhu Mao and others in the same way? Chiang Kai-shek said slowly.
Dai Li was busy: "That's not it, but at least you can't underestimate this person." Through the investigation during this time, it was learned that this Han Yunhua is now a strong soldier, with at least three infantry brigades and a cavalry brigade in his hands, and a strength of at least 20,000 troops, which is no worse than the troops led by Liu Bocheng and He Long, which shows that this person is still very capable of leading troops. ”
Chiang Kai-shek said unhappily: "Niang Xipi, [***] came to the army fast enough, and even a small deputy regiment commander in the past can now command more than 20,000 horses, which is really terrifying." ”
"Headmaster, I analyzed it, this Han Yunhua seems to have known about the incident at Huayuankou, but it seems that he has not reported it to Zhu Mao until now, but has used this matter and the withdrawal of troops to threaten the party-state, with the purpose of extorting some weapons, ammunition, food and medicine and other things?" Dai Li analyzed.
Chiang Kai-shek thought about it carefully and agreed with Dai Li's opinion, so he asked, "Yunong, do you think it is possible for this Han Yunhua to win over?" ”
"It's difficult, it's almost impossible, Han Yunhua is not good at Zhu Mao's guerrilla theory, it doesn't mean that he doesn't believe in Red Communism either, but this Han Yunhua is a firm believer, not to mention that Han Yunhua's parents died in the hands of the party-state. Therefore, he and we not only have a conflict of faith, but also have a deep family feud, and it seems difficult to win him over. Dai said.
"In that case, why did he remind the party-state at the end of the telegram to strictly prevent devils from running long distances from Wuhu to security and the fortress of Tianjiazhen, I just looked at it from the map and found that this situation he said is very likely to happen?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with a frown.
Dai Li thought for a while and said, "Headmaster, although we have differences in political opinions, I admire this Han Yunhua very much. First of all, he was able to separate personal grievances from the general interests of the country and the nation, and through this period of secret investigation, I can conclude that this Han Yunhua is an extreme nationalist. He treats our people very preferentially, in his jurisdiction, he rarely collects food from the common people free of charge, treats the captured puppet army very well, basically does not persecute them, even if he is not willing to join their Eighth Route Army, he is also courteous. ”
Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile: "This is what they [***] set of false benevolence and false righteousness regulations require them to do, even if we kill so many of them in Jiangxi, but after our troops are captured by [***], few of them are killed, unless it is those soldiers who have committed the most heinous crimes." ”
Dai Li said solemnly: "Headmaster, the regulations of the Eighth Route Army are one thing, but Han Yunhua's department seems to have a choice of the regulations of the Eighth Route Army, at least on the issue of treating prisoners, Han Yunhua's attitude is very different from that of other Eighth Route Army troops. The Eighth Route Army was stipulated not to kill prisoners, and this also included captured soldiers. But as far as I know, in all the previous battles, at least more than 2,000 Yue troops were captured by Han Yunhua's troops, but now few really survived, and the rest have disappeared. I'm sure he was secretly executed by Han Yunhua, or even dealt with directly on the battlefield. ”
"According to what you say, this Han Yunhua is really different, well, since even Yunong has said good things about this Han Yunhua, then I will look down on this Han Yunhua. Then Yunong, how do you think we should reply to this Han Yunhua, is it true that he let him blackmail me, the chairman of the committee? Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile.
Dai Li suddenly woke up, recalling the conversation just now, he seemed to have been saying good things for Han Yunhua who [***], and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his body. No one knows the principal's attitude towards the Eighth Route Army better than him, although the two sides are now nominally friendly forces, but in Chairman Chiang's heart, [***] has always been a big trouble in his heart. In the treatment of sympathetic Kuomintang officials, the principal has no mercy, and generally catches one and kills two, and never relents.
Thinking of this, Dai Li hurriedly said: "Principal, I'm not interceding for that Han Yunhua, it's just that now after all, he needs to attract the firepower of the army for the party-state, and by the way, he can also consume the strength of [***], so it's just....only...."
Chiang Kai-shek interrupted Dai Li's words with a smile and said: "Yu Nong's loyalty to the party-state, I still know about it, I don't need to say this, now you can talk about how to respond to that Han Yunhua." ”
Dai Li was scared half to death just now, and now he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly said: "Forgive Yunong for being stupid, and I haven't gotten along well to deal with [***], please make your own decision, Yunong and the entire Military Command Bureau will fully support your decision." ”
Dai Li's answer made Chiang Kai-shek very satisfied, so he did not pursue Dai Li's fault just now. Chiang Kai-shek took a sip of the boiled water on the desk, sighed, and said slowly: "No matter what it is for, whether it is to stop the enemy or anything else, after all, we are sorry for those ordinary people in the Yellow Flood Area." Since he Han Yunhua wiped our buttocks for us and attracted the attention of Yue Jun for us, then we have to express what we say. Otherwise, tomorrow's Xinhua newspaper will be able to scold us with a bloody squirt, okay! This time, I, the leader of the party-state, bowed my head to this Han Yunhua for the people in the disaster area and for the great cause of the entire Chinese nation. Relieving the sullenness in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek continued: "Yunong, you order, order the Ministry of Military Affairs to promote Han Yunhua to the rank of lieutenant general, increase the establishment of a regiment of soldiers and horses, and allocate 500 official rifles, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, four light machine guns, and a number of other weapons and equipment. At the same time, 200,000 catties of grain and 10,000 pieces of cloth were allocated......."
After Chiang Kai-shek finished saying these words in one breath, he did not look at Dai Li's face with a dead expression, turned around and walked into his bedroom, leaving Dai Li alone in the study.
