The third part of the Bloody and Fire War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing and Tenth

After hearing this, mZD was slightly stunned, and he told Li Kenong without hesitation: "Okay, let EN come and tell Chiang Kai-shek that he will personally go to Jinan to negotiate with Zhuang Jihua." //、qВ5、CｏМ//”

Li Kenong immediately drafted a telegram and handed it to mZD for signature, and mZD asked as he wrote: "Li Kenong, what do you think of this Zhuang Jihua?" ”

Li Kenong thought for a while and said: "It is difficult to see this person clearly, in the Kuomintang, he has a reputation for being pro-communist, even greater than the reputation of Zhang Zhizhong and Zhang Chong, but in several conflicts between the two parties, he is very protective of the Kuomintang, such as the Shangqiu negotiations, and he even finds a legitimate reason for friction behind enemy lines; But if you want to say that this person **, it doesn't seem like it, he provides funds for our party, provides weapons and ammunition, and is more generous than anyone else. In addition, this person is very rich, and the funds for the development of the southwest nominally come from donations from overseas Chinese, but in fact they are his family property, and with his wealth, he can have a variety of choices, and there is no need to personally go to the battlefield or intervene in the relations between the two parties. ”

mZD handed the signed telegram to Li Kenong: "That's right, so this person can't use common sense, this person is terrible, Chiang Kai-shek is actually not very at ease with him, but his prestige is too high, he implemented the southwest development, the social reform he guided, have been very successful, as for the battlefield, it is even more victorious, so Chiang Kai-shek is not at ease with him and can't do without, he let EN come and go to Jinan, must be to contact EN personally, from the past experience, this person is very careful." ”

mZD saw a hint of a change from this telegram, and he asked a little excitedly: "K farmer, what do you think Zhuang Jihua really wants?" Hao Pengju is still the base of our party on both sides of the Jiaoji line, or does he ask the first division of the New Fourth Army to go north and drive to the front line in North China? ”

Li Kenong thought for a while and shook his head and said: "We will definitely not agree to this third article, can the First Division of the New Fourth Army come back after it goes out?" This is absolutely not good, Hao Pengju, of course he wants it, but we can't hand it over; The base areas on both sides of the Jiaoji line, judging from the report of the Shandong Bureau, these base areas are not formed, and with his arrogance, I am afraid that he will not be able to look down on it, chairman, I estimate that he is fighting the Taihang Mountain and Jinchaji troops, after all, the enemy situation in North China is becoming more and more serious, and it is necessary to concentrate all forces. ”

mZD shook his head and objected: "This person is difficult to figure out, after the Battle of Shandong, the Japanese army in North China suffered heavy losses, and Okamura Ninji could mobilize no more than 100,000 troops, do you think he has the strength to continue the attack?" I think he has it, Tang Enbo's troops are basically unchanged, and the combat strength of the 31st Army and the Fifth Army is complete. But he stopped, why? In my opinion, he was full of confidence and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army on the North China Plain, using his tank force and air power to completely annihilate the Japanese army in a battle, and this man was very ambitious. ”

Li Kenong was a little dumbfounded, the annihilation of three or four hundred thousand Japanese troops in World War I had never been seen since the War of Resistance Against Japan, such a large-scale decisive battle, could the Kuomintang army do? Do they have the strength? In just six years, they were able to make such a big change?

He then thought that if the Kuomintang army could really do it, then the impact on the post-war period would be unprecedented, and if Chiang Kai-shek turned the knife to our party, would we have the strength to deal with it?

"I heard Comrade J Ying say that Zhuang Jihua is very cautious and cautious in fighting, besides, the Kuomintang has the strength to annihilate three or four hundred thousand Japanese troops?" Li Knong's tone was full of suspicion.

mZD didn't answer immediately, but took two puffs of cigarette before slowly saying, "I hope they don't, but how do you explain his actions?" You see, if the Hao Pengju incident is resolved, Fu Zuoyi's troops can advance eastward and threaten Zhangjiakou, and he will also ask the south of Hu Zong and our army to go north and east, threaten Shijiazhuang Zhangjiakou, and even attack Rehe; These two troops attracted at least about 100,000 Japanese troops, and his main forces were concentrated on the Pinghan Line and the Jinpu Line, and they could rush straight to Pingjin by fighting along the railway. How many troops are there on these two roads? More than a million. ”

Li Kenong silently calculated in his heart, as the head of intelligence, the military movement of the Kuomintang was almost a secret to him, and the situation of the troops in the North China Theater appeared in his mind, and after a rough calculation, there were really one million.

"Now Zhuang Jihua very much wants to solve the Hao Pengju incident in the shortest possible time, and I really want to know what he will do next." mZD seems to be talking to Li Knong, and it seems to be talking to himself again.

Yan'an waited anxiously, after Zhou EN received the telegram, he proposed to the Kuomintang to transfer the Hao Pengju incident to Chongqing for negotiations, which was resolutely rejected by Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng claimed that the matter happened in Shandong, and it should be resolved on the spot in Shandong, dominated by the North China Theater, and at the same time Chen Cheng urged ** to hand over Hao Pengju as soon as possible, so as not to affect the North China War of Resistance.

The Kuomintang's refusal was already expected by Zhou Enlai, so Zhou Enlai took the opportunity to propose that he personally go to Jinan to negotiate with General Zhuang Jihua, commander of the North China Theater, and asked the Kuomintang to arrange planes. This request made it difficult for Chen Cheng to refuse, and then Zhou Enlai proposed to invite Deng Yanda, Huang Yanpei, and Zhang Lan from Chongqing as representatives of the neutral party to go to Shandong together to supervise the resolution of the matter.

After Chen Cheng got Zhou EN's request, he was very puzzled, on the Kuomintang side, he was the chief negotiator of the Kuomintang, and Zhou EN came to exclude him, but Chiang Kai-shek did not think so.

"Cixiu, no matter what Zhou EN comes, the Cultural Revolution can be dealt with, you prepare, study the Far East strategy, and the post-war affairs, and follow me to Tehran to attend the four-nation summit."

After the success of the Cairo Conference, Chiang Kai-shek now looked forward to this matter the most, and he needed to settle some matters in the Far East after the war, such as the Taiwan, Penghu, and Ryukyu issues, as well as the Sakhalin Island, Northeast China, Korea issues, the Japanese garrison issues, and the compensation issues, all of which had to be decided at the Tehran Conference.

The number of people attending the Tehran conference was also basically determined, about the same as the Cairo conference, with the addition of Chen Bui and Chen Cheng, and all the organs of the Nationalist Government were preparing for this conference, and various research reports were piled up on Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and Chiang Kai-shek did not even bother to care about the build-up of Japanese troops in North China now.

Chen Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, and the slightest unhappiness in his heart was immediately thrown out of the clouds, after He Yingqin became Minister of National Defense, the position of Chief of General Staff was vacant, according to the situation of the Cairo Conference, the United States and Britain were both chiefs of general staff, and Chiang Kai-shek asked him to attend the Tehran Conference with him, which means that in the near future, the position of chief of general staff will be his.

"Well, let's do it, let He Jinhan also go and participate in the negotiations." Chiang Kai-shek paused and added, and Chen Cheng understood the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's move after a little hesitation.

The next day, Zhou Enlai and his entourage flew to Jinan, and on the plane, there were not only Zhou Enlai and his party, but also several US Air Force personnel, led by a colonel. These US Air Force members were very excited, and they were talking about it on the plane, and Zhou En came to listen for a while and knew that they were talking about building an airfield in Shandong and preparing for an air attack on Japan.

"Mr. Colonel, isn't it closer to build airfields in Yantai and Weihai? Why not choose these places? Zhou Enlai asked with a smile.

These Americans discovered that some of these Chinese on the plane understood English, and the colonel looked at coming next week, and He Xinhan hurriedly interjected and introduced the identities of Zhou EN to Deng Yanda and others.

Only then did the colonel understand, he shook his head at Zhou En and said: "Yantai and Weihai are areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and our engineering and technical personnel and security troops cannot enter, and we can only go as far as Laiyang. ”

"Why?" Zhou EN came to express puzzlement: "Our Eighth Route Army supports any action that can fight the Japanese invaders. ”

"No, No," the colonel shook his head and said, "Our people once proposed that although the Eighth Route Army agreed to build an airport there, it did not agree to the entry of our engineering troops and guard troops, and you must know that an airport is not only an airport, but must have many supporting facilities, such as roads, aprons, oil depots, ammunition depots, radar stations, repair stations, and ambulance stations, which are necessary for every airport." In accordance with the agreement we reached with the National Government, we provided aircraft, part of the flight personnel and maintenance personnel, and the squadron provided ground protection troops, but your party refused to enter. ”

Zhou EN came here to understand that this matter did not go through Chongqing, and the Shandong Bureau was not under the jurisdiction of the Southern Bureau, and did not report to Chongqing, but directly reported to the Central Committee, so it was normal for him not to know.

"Our Eighth Route Army can fully serve as ground protection." Zhou EN said.

"NO, NO," the colonel shook his head again, "according to the agreement we reached with the National Government, the ground forces must be **." According to the information we have received, there are only guerrillas of your party in Jiaodong, and the combat effectiveness," the colonel raised a little finger: "And the combat effectiveness of the ** regular troops is this." The colonel gave another thumbs up.

Zhou EN didn't move, he shook his head with a faint smile and said: "Colonel, you know too little about the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, and the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army is not this, but this." ”

The colonel smiled: "Mr. Zhou, I understand your trust in the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, I have no prejudice against your party, in fact, in this war, your party's army has played a great role, but this role is only cooperation, and it is ** that really decides xìng, the war in the past two years has proved this, ** has won several battles in a row, recovered most of the country, and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and what about the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army?" Behind enemy lines, they play more of a diversion role than a decision on forces.

Besides, the guard troops must have coastal defense heavy artillery, as well as anti-aircraft firepower, you know, the Japanese are still very strong, General Zhuang Jihua defeated them on land, but their naval strength is still very strong, they can come from the sea, do you have 150 heavy artillery? Is there an anti-aircraft artillery group? ”

Zhou EN was dumbfounded, these weapons were not available in the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and the only thing that the Kuomintang provided them with that could be regarded as heavy artillery was the 105 howitzer, which was still on Taihang Mountain.
