Section 4 A Tooth for a Tooth VI

"This is what you call party spirit, Zhuang Jihua was silent. \\、0m//depending on the idea that you can't be polite, you can't accept the kind of thing that is tied up: "Wu Zhi." I'm afraid it's death, on top of this. So externally, you demand democracy. What is required internally is obedience, is that right? ”

"This is an internal matter of my party, so I don't care about General Lao." Xuanxia's father replied calmly. He had already sensed Zhuang Jihua's intentions, he wanted to muddy the waters, muddy the whole thing, and in the end, no one could figure out the truth of the matter.

"What we are going to talk about today are the two conflicts in northern Jiangsu and in the Soviet Union and China." Huang Mincheng also said.

"Yes, then don't make indiscriminate accusations. Conflict is conflict" Zhuang Jihua didn't care and followed their words, speaking of which he stood up and walked in front of the reporters: "Fellow reporters" Then he turned to the three of Xuanxia's father: "Sword Soul, Ming Cheng, and Section Chief He, two years ago. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, an agreement was reached between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in a hurry, you can go and look through it, to be honest, this is a very simple agreement, so that the two armies and the two parties are divided openly and secretly. It is precisely this situation that has caused long-term disharmony between the two parties and the two armies, clashes, clashes, and several clashes in the five theaters of war in the past two years, and if this situation does not change, such clashes will occur in the future, especially behind enemy lines. Why? ”

Zhuang Jihua looked around: "It's a very simple reason. Territory, this is a very practical problem, it has nothing to do with the War of Resistance, it has nothing to do with the united front, no matter who it is, no matter what the army is, as long as it is a person, it has to eat, and the military food and grass can only be provided by the local people, so if they lose the territory, they will not be able to survive behind the enemy, so. ** and behind enemy lines. The subordinate Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will be in constant conflict, and the Japanese will benefit from this conflict. And we will be weakened by this conflict, and if we don't change politically, I fear that this Zen conflict will continue to happen. ”

"General Zhuang, I agree with you, but this is not something that can be negotiated at this level of our government. What can be solved should be the problem solved by the Wuhan side. Xuanxia's father completely understood Zhuang Jihua's plan and even his steps, so Lixuan terminated the topic: "What we have to do now is to find out what we need to do, avoid conflicts under the existing situation, and maintain the hard-won situation of the War of Resistance." ”

"Well said" Zhuang Jihua didn't insist, he turned back to his seat: "Let me tell you my opinion, as the commander of the Fifth Theater." I have jurisdiction over Shandong, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, and southern Henan. All the squadrons in this area led them to fight against the Japanese, but I don't know their condition whether it is the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army. Where they operated, how many of them, how well equipped, I don't know at all. I draw up a battle plan according to what I know" Deploy troops, and once an order is given, the troops must carry it out and resolutely carry it out, otherwise I will hold them accountable. The garrison areas of the 92nd Army were arranged by me, and General Li Xianzhou must maintain these defense areas, and they must not give up without my consent. Therefore, it is their responsibility to maintain the integrity of the defense area, and General Li Xianzhou does not have any power to cede the defense area to others without my consent. ”

"It's a pity, General Zhuang" Xuanxia's father looked extremely cold: "Our base area was recovered from the Japanese, and it was not given by General Li Xianzhou at all. ”

"That's not the report I got." Zhuang Jihua was unceremoniously: "The guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army entered our army's defense area under the pursuit of the Japanese, and it was not recovered by you. ”

"Shameless!" Huang Mincheng slapped his palm on the table: "We have here the testimony of local scholars and local people. ”

"Ridiculous" Xu Zuyi also interjected unequivocally, raised a few pieces of paper in his hand and waved it: "We also have such testimony, and the first shot was fired by you." ”

"You guys are confusing right and wrong" Xuanxia's father immediately pointed out Zhuang Jihua's purpose, but he had a sense of powerlessness in his heart, although they had been trying to control the situation, Zhuang Jihua could always successfully disrupt the audio-visual and bring the topic to the point that it was unavoidable, and he could always find factors to show that it was irresistible.

At the negotiating table, the two sides faced each other, and the reporters below worked hard to write for fear of missing a word. Webb didn't record much, and he watched with interest the unique negotiations. I feel really admired in my heart.

Although in terms of evidence, this is a conflict in which no one can say responsibility, but judging from the comparison of strength. It's definitely a lot weaker, as is customary. The weaker side will not take the initiative to provoke conflict. The opposite is quite possible. So Weber was inclined to believe the evidence presented by the parties.

However, Weber admired Zhuang Jihua's negotiation skills, and he had successfully watered down the conflict. At least at this level, he strongly suggested to the reporters that the real reason was the lack of ties between the two parties, the lack of real unity of command.

If this is a court debate, then there is no doubt that Zhuang Jihua has won, at least he has succeeded in downplaying the issue of responsibility, let alone pursuing it. And it has dug a trap for future disputes, if such a thing happens again. The Kuomintang can do the same.

"We don't want to be the kind of child who gives candy to eat," Huang Mincheng's tone was still stern: "We hope to maintain the anti-Japanese national united front and maintain the hard-won good situation of the Anti-Japanese War."

"This is not a child's game" Zhuang Jihua did not back down: "Leading the whole nation to unanimously resist Japan is what the government has always advocated. It was for this reason that the military action against your party was stopped, many demands on your party and army were abandoned, and the agreement was signed that was vague and full of loopholes. ”

"A protocol with a lot of holes?" Xuanxia's father immediately grabbed Zhuang Jihua's handle and asked, "May I ask General Zhuang, what are the countless loopholes?" Isn't the reason why our party has abandoned our party's long-standing position and no longer cares about the Kuomintang's massacre against us, which lasted for ten years, is it precisely for the sake of unity in the war of resistance? ”

"This is your point of view, as we all know, your party has been carrying out military operations and political activities aimed at overthrowing the Nationalist Government, and it is not just a unilateral action of our party. If there are no loopholes, then as the commander of the theater, should he know the situation of all the squadrons in the theater, then let me ask you, when did the Eighth Route Army in Ganyu enter Jiangsu? How many people are there? What about armament? How many people were in the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army in the same fine county? How is the equipment? Finally, I remember that there was no Eighth Route Army in the sequence of operations in the five theaters prescribed by the Military Council, when did they arrive in the five theaters? How many more? Can you answer me? ”

This mouth, the monthly question did not embarrass the rich man's father, he was prepared! "I ask the chairman of the committee to take a pocket" once said that as soon as the war begins, there will be no distinction between north and south. No matter how old or weak, everyone has the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. There were Japanese there, so we went there to fight.

"You can't misinterpret the chairman's conversation" Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly, and the other party's answer was already expected by him: "Any war has an overall plan, and any army must obey orders, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are the same, they can't go there if they want to, they must obey orders." According to the order of the Military Commission, the Eighth Route Army was in the combat sequence of the Second War Zone, how did it come to the Fifth War Zone? And I, the commander of the 5th theater of operations, don't know yet? How can this be explained? ”

There was a brief silence at the negotiation table, and after a while, He Shaoxin said: "We are cooperating with your party to resist Japan, and the activities of the Eighth Route Army do not need to obtain the consent of your party. ”

It's you who is waiting, Zhuang Jihua spread his hands: "Since that's the case." So what your party said about the cooperative war of resistance only requires our party to cooperate, and your party does not assume obligations, so I am not wrong to understand it this way, right? ”

"Of course it's a big mistake" Huang Mincheng immediately realized that He Shaoxin's answer was inappropriate, and immediately added: "As we all know, our party has resolutely fulfilled the obligation of the two parties to cooperate to resist Japan. The activities of our Party behind enemy lines strongly supported the frontal battlefield, and even the newspapers controlled by the Japanese invaders acknowledged these circumstances. ”

"Then when your party's central base area was encircled and suppressed, didn't we also launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in Shandong?" Xu Zuyi frowned and said, "In addition." At the beginning of the founding of the New Fourth Army, didn't the Nationalist Government also provide a large number of weapons and equipment, and Xinhua Ribao also abandoned the report? ”

"We are deeply grateful to General Zhuang for the help he has provided to our party." Huang Mincheng replied calmly.

Zhuang Jihua immediately interrupted him; "I'm sorry, but the supply of weapons and ammunition to you is an order of the chairman, and I personally have no right to dispose of state materials without authorization."

Huang Mincheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to deny it in public, of course, he couldn't reveal the matter of the million and drugs in public, that would completely anger Zhuang Jihua, and the reputation of the fall was unpleasant.

Judging by yesterday's telegram from the Southern Bureau. Zhuang Jihua's move was to resolve his predicament, but he had already done it for Chiang Kai-shek to see, and the opinion of the Southern Bureau was that he should still fight for him.

"In any case, this matter was caused by General Zhuang," Huang Mincheng said, "so we hope that General Zhuang can handle this matter correctly and avoid further deterioration of the situation." ”

"I also hope that in the future, such things will not happen again that make relatives and enemies happy." Zhuang Jihua said quietly: "But the prerequisite is that the two parties and the two armies cooperate wholeheartedly, and I hope that this cooperation will first be realized in the five theaters." ”

"General Zhuang's wish is good, but first of all, we ask your party to treat all troops equally," He Shaoxin said coldly: "Since last year, you have cut the military expenditure of the Eighth Route Army, and you have never been able to use enough weapons and ammunition. ”

"Section Chief He lives in Russia," Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "Don't talk about you, since last year, my military salary has not been paid." The chairman of the committee also did not receive enough military salary, could it be that the chairman of the committee began to deduct himself? The 49th Army is an army that I created single-handedly, and its weapons and ammunition are rarely sufficient? Do you want me to tell you why? The victory in Xuzhou, the attack on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the counterattack in Yucheng, we all fought with insufficient ammunition. ”

"You and we are nephews and nephews." Xuanxia's father pointed out the difference sharply: "Is it the same? ”

"No, I've checked, according to the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army and the four detachments of the New Fourth Army. There are also troops left behind in northern Shaanxi, with a total strength of only more than 60,000 people, and the military expenses of the central government are sufficient. ”

"My Eighth Route Army has now grown to hundreds of thousands, but the military expenses you allocate are still allocated according to 60,000 people, why is this?" He Shaoxin couldn't help it, he blamed Xuanxia's father and Huang Mincheng in his heart, they retreated step by step in Zhuang Jihua's attack, causing this negotiation to fall into a complete passivity.

"The Eighth Route Army expanded to hundreds of thousands? Who ordered the Eighth Route Army to be expanded to hundreds of thousands? I haven't seen the order of the military council to order the expansion, Section Chief He, you can't need the management of the national government when you want military spending, and you don't need the national government in terms of command, right? Zhuang Jihua said mockingly, he knew that the situation was already in his hands, and he only needed to work harder to defeat them.

Without waiting for He Shaoxin to speak again, Zhuang Jihua continued: "Speaking of the unauthorized expansion of the Eighth Route Army, I have to draw everyone's attention to one thing, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army fought very well in Pingxingguan and Xinkou, but why has it not had outstanding results in the past two years? The plain in the wings, lost in a battle. This is closely related to the rapid expansion of the Eighth Route Army. As we all know, it takes at least three months for a peasant to be transformed into a soldier, and an officer needs at least a year of training, and the Eighth Route Army has expanded from more than 30,000 people two years ago to hundreds of thousands, that is, it has expanded tenfold, and after removing the battle casualties, you simply do not have enough officers, and 300,000 troops need at least 50,000 officers of various types, which is more than the sum of your army. ”

Xuanxia's father felt that all their major weapons had failed, and in Wuhan, Chen Cheng was unwilling to admit that the Military Committee could not control the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, because it was more humiliating and detrimental to Chiang Kai-shek's prestige Propaganda was the leader of the whole nation. However, Zhuang Jihua did not want to face it, and openly admitted that the Military Commission could not control the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which was tantamount to admitting that Chiang Kai-shek was not yet the leader of all Chinese.

"Our party has our party's methods, and you don't have to worry about it," Huang Mincheng said coldly: "But the expansion of the Route Army is also because of the outstanding achievements of the Eighth Route Army and the support of the people behind enemy lines. ”

"Brother Mingcheng, don't you think it's unreasonable to say this" Zhuang Jihua looked helpless: "Think about it, starting from Nanjing, how many of the National Revolutionary Army have not made outstanding achievements, and the troops in the Fifth Theater are not knife-to-knife, gun-to-gun, face-to-face with the Japanese army, let's just say that in the first battle of Linyi, more than 12,000 people in the whole army fought only more than 3,000 people, in the second Jinpu Road Campaign. In bloody battles along the way, all the way from Yimeng Mountain to Xiayi, the whole army once again fought from more than 15,000 people to less than 3,000 people, and the casualties were as high as ninety percent. It can be said that without their sacrifices, there would have been no victory in the Linyi counterattack, and there would have been no victory in the Yucheng counterattack, but they did not expand their troops without authorization. Merit is not a reason to expand the force. ”

Don't go away, there's a shift in the evening. ”
