Chapter 278: The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are at war
With the invasion of Liaoning, the army in the northeast sharply shrunk the defensive line, although the army occupied a lot of losses, but let their forces more concentrated, for a while, and the Yan Huang army and the anti-Japanese army confronted, Wei Chendong, Ma Zhanshan and others also knew that the current blind attack may not necessarily be able to recover the lost territory, but will suffer heavy losses, so it was decided to watch the situation in North China and then make a decision, with the heavy troops to maintain the pressure on the Northeast Army, in solidarity with the North China War of Resistance.
However, when the situation of the Anti-Japanese War gradually became clearer, many changes suddenly occurred. Since the beginning of this year, the Kuomintang has never given up the persecution of [***] personnel, in the past, it was a small fight, in order to stabilize the united front of resistance, [***] and the Yan and Huang Army only verbally protested, and the national political axe only verbally said that there would be no more such things, but this kind of thing has never stopped, and after the war situation in Central China stabilized, the national political axe [***] was intensified, and groups of base areas and [***] rear personnel were attacked by Kuomintang spies and troops, and a large number of [***] ] personnel were killed.
The leaders lodged a strong protest, and Wei Chendong also made a public speech, saying that this was irresponsible to the country and the people.
At this time, the country publicly stated that it would no longer attack the Kuomintang army, and hoped that [***] would also remain neutral and not participate in the personal grievances between the Imperial Army and the Yan and Huang Army.
This time, the national political axe no longer paid attention to the protests of the Yan Huang army and the leaders of [***], but instead issued a positive response to the statement of the political axe, expressing his willingness to reach a peace agreement with the country, so as to ensure that the war does not expand and create harmony and common prosperity. Then, the Nationalist Axe claimed that the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were rebels, fanning the mob into rebellion, which was actually a scourge to the country and should be quickly exterminated.
Suddenly, in the southern Anhui region, the Kuomintang drew out a part of the army and began to frantically encircle and suppress the base area, Wu Dingbang, after consulting with Wei Chendong, sent troops to intervene, conceded the New Fourth Army to his own defense area, and blocked the [***] offensive route, and the situation suddenly became complicated.
The Nationalist Axe immediately issued a statement advising the Yan and Huang troops not to shelter the rebels in order to sabotage the unification of the War of Resistance.
In view of the current situation, Wei Chendong frowned, at present, the national political axe has 3 million troops, and the Yan and Huang army has more than 1 million soldiers, but most of them are contained by the army.
Just when Wei Chendong made up his mind, the situation changed again, and in July, he reached a consensus with Western countries, expressing their willingness to share their interests in China, but only if they publicly stated that they did not oppose the actions of the Chinese army, or at least remained neutral.
The Western powers have always coveted their interests in China, and the most important part of the opposition to China's invasion of China in the past is that they feel that after the invasion of China, they will cause them to lose huge losses in Asia, and now they have suddenly made concessions, and they are naturally not stupid, knowing that this is because they are using their momentum to restrain the Yan and Huang armies, so as to alleviate the current predicament in the war of aggression against China.
Soon after, Britain first stationed a part of its troops in Tianjin, Beiping, in order to safeguard the interests of the British Empire in North China and Northeast China, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places also ushered in a group of foreign [***] teams, they controlled a region and port handed over by him, etc., seriously infringing on China's sovereignty, and Chiang Kai-shek's political axe did not object, in order to reward the acquaintance of the national political axe, Britain and the United States and other countries also supported the national political axe A large number of military supplies, and loaned them a lot of money, and the national political axe also showed favor and threw an olive branch, expressing the guarantee of the interests of these countries in China.
In response to all this, the leaders and Yan Huangjun lodged a strong protest, claiming that this was an infringement of China's sovereignty, a manifestation of falling into a trap, and an act of a vicious wolf.
In view of the different attitudes of the Yan and Huang armies towards the great powers, the Western powers were naturally optimistic about the national political axe, so they secretly vigorously supported the national political axe [***] and supported the army to exterminate the Yan and Huang army.
"That's okay, since you're playing yin with us, then we'll be with you to the end", these unfavorable news reached Wei Chendong's ears, and he looked ruthless, "The white pig supports the Kuomintang, then we will resolutely stand on the side of the Communist Party for national sovereignty, and immediately send an order to Gansu, in addition to sending troops, to fully support Yan'an to resist the Kuomintang army......"
In the current situation, Wei Chendong did not want to directly start a war with the Kuomintang, which would only allow the enemy's conspiracy to succeed, so he decided to give maximum support to the Communist Party.
Since Wei Chendong's order was issued, so far, it has been announced that the rupture of the national anti-Japanese united front has been announced, although the Yan and Huang Army, [***] and some patriotic parties have been constantly sticking to the anti-Japanese united front, but this is not perfect.
For the move of the Yan and Huang Army, the national political axe issued a sharp protest, and said that he was also agitating, but their hopes were still disappointed, and did not let [***] fight with the Yan and Huang Army, but from these circumstances, Umezu Mijiro's conspiracy succeeded a lot, and now the main enemy of the Yan and Huang Army and the troops led by the [***] of the Shaobu in the Northeast and North China have been reduced, and the pressure has been reduced a lot.
In the Northeast, the other biggest variable is that Ma Zhanshanbu and Su Bingwen and other troops from the Kuomintang banner, after these years of development in the Northeast and the support of the Yan and Huang Army, they are also a great prestige, if they also break away from the resistance team, it will definitely be a very big blow to the Yan and Huang Army, and the situation in the Northeast may be reversed.
Chiang Kai-shek readily agreed, and the Yan and Huang armies were also his henchmen, so he naturally wanted to fight to the death with Yue himself and sit next to him to collect the benefits of the fish, so he immediately forced Ma Zhanshan, Su Bingwen and other troops to withdraw from the northeast and Inner Mongolia to Guannei, and Yue Ben also immediately responded, expressing his willingness to make way for him and let him enter Central China safely.
On July 21, Ma Zhanshan, Su Bingwen and others made a public speech in Changchun, saying that they would break away from the current national political axe, form a new political axe, take Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Sanming Cooking Righteousness as the guide, resist all aggressors, cooperate with the Yan and Huang Army, and [***] all patriotic organizations to jointly build a Greater China with the people's independence and sovereignty.
Wei Chendong and other high-ranking officials of the Yan and Huang Army attended the meeting and said that the Yan and Huang Army will, as always, support all the soldiers and civilians who resist the Japanese and take Mr. Sun Yat-sen's expulsion of the Tartars as the supreme goal.
"This Wei Chendong is really uneasy and kind, these troops followed him, resisted and resisted to the political axe, this is a betrayal...... "The national political axe immediately openly opposed the establishment of the new political axe, and said that it would not be recognized, and the Western powers and so on all expressed their opposition, and openly cut off trade with the Yan and Huang Army, and did not accept the import of goods from the Great Northwest.
In the face of these grim situations, Wei Chendong realized a big problem, in the international situation, the Yan and Huang Army has been slowly isolated, which is very terrible, there are several reasons for this, first, at present, the Yan and Huang Army is not a national army, has not achieved a legal status, like the current [***] army, as long as the legal political axe and the national political axe are a word, it can be called a rebel; Second, China's international status is not high at present, although the status of the Yan and Huang Army in China is relatively high, and even the national political axe does not dare to move casually, but it is not recognized by the international community, and the Yan and Huang Army cannot represent China, and some arrogant Western countries will not sell it; Third, the Yan and Huang Army behaved too strongly, and could not tolerate foreigners taking advantage of China, which would 100 percent harm the interests of the Western powers, and naturally did not get their approval and support, but firmly stood on the side of the compromise national political axe, secretly trying to eliminate the Yan and Huang Army in a vain attempt to maximize the interests in China.
"The form has changed, and we have to change our strategy", after sorting out the various reasons, Wei Chendong also sobered up a lot, gathered all the forces that responded to the party, and discussed the future course of action and plan.
"At present, our most important task is threefold: first, to ensure the survival of [***]; second, to ensure that the current situation of the domestic war of resistance does not deteriorate; Third, we should ensure international support for our War of Resistance and seek international solidarity." These are the three points put forward by Wei Chendong.
"The first point is to be guaranteed because after the national political axe is eliminated, it will definitely attack us, so we must ensure the long-term survival of [***] in the country, and we must support them to the greatest extent, and we do not rule out the possibility of sending troops directly; To ensure the second point, we must increase the investment in confrontation and strive for the greatest support, which is linked to the third point, and to ensure the third point, we must draw all the forces that can be won over to our side, so I decided to strengthen cooperation with some forces in other fields such as economy and trade, and sell some of our technology, I believe that many people will be interested, and the Soviet Union, which has a great interest dispute with him, is the first target of our ...... to win over Wei Chendong's various decisions. If these things are done well, it can completely recover the impact of the destruction of the anti-Japanese united front.
Next, Wei Chendong and Ma Zhanshan, Su Bingwen and other generals who controlled the anti-Japanese army all ordered the troops to suspend the offensive and stabilize the area they currently occupy, but if they came to attack, they swore to defend every inch of land, in addition, Gansu also independently transported a large number of items including various materials and munitions to Yan'an, including aircraft and artillery, and the Yanhuang Army also let [***] send a group of backbones to the northwest for further study, such as to learn modern military strategy and tactics at the Yanhuang Military Academy, and to learn air combat technology at the Yanhuang Flight Academy. Go to the Yanhuang Infantry Academy to learn infantry, armored group combat tactics, etc., these things that are considered high-end secrets, the Yanhuang Army can be said to have no reservations, as long as they want to learn, then teach, as long as they lack it, then give, at the same time, the Great Northwest also sent a large number of loans to [***] to help them establish their own arsenal and technical team, etc.
This move has made many people a little unclear, so I feel that the support is too much, in the New Fourth Army, the Eighth Route Army, and so on, it is rumored that the Yan and Huang Army are our brother troops, and they are the kind of brother troops, regardless of each other.
