Chapter 730: The Early Break Between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party

The early decision of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China

In the entire Li Gong Room, because of Chiang Kai-shek's angry scolding, it once again fell into silence. Standing by all the time. Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, who can be called Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, opened his mouth and said.

"Headmaster, there is a word in the lowly position, I don't know whether to say it or not"

“…… Hearing Dai Li's answer, Chiang Kai-shek, who had the last glimmer of hope, ordered without anger.

"Headmaster, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States joined the ranks of anti-fascists. The final outcome of Japan is already doomed... After all, the United States, with its developed industry, has a huge war potential. And the little devil who is short of resources. No matter from the national strength. Neither in terms of war potential, is it an opponent of the United States. Therefore, "the defeat of the Bu devil has become an ironclad fact." And after driving out the little devils, there will be a fight between us and the Communist Party," Dai Li said.

Regarding Dai Li's words, Chiang Kai-shek nodded noncommittally. Then, he said, "Yu Nong is right. However, we can see the current situation in the world clearly, and the leaders can also see it clearly. I believe that this is also an important reason why the Northeast Field Army, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the outbreak of the Pacific War, launched a large-scale counteroffensive against the troops of the Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces... So, you just say what's in your mind

"Yes, Headmaster

"I am thinking that since the Northeast Field Army, the occupation of the entire three eastern provinces, has become a foregone conclusion, and we have no way, then we can only break the current deadlock from another direction... The Eighth Route Army in North China, by virtue of the current party-state capabilities and regional reasons. Again, there is no counterbalance to it. And now, in front of us. Only the New Fourth Army led by ** "faced the operational map in front of it. Dai Lian spoke thoughtfully

Hearing these three words, Chiang Kai-shek's brows immediately furrowed. Because, the New Fourth Army, since the last incident in southern Anhui, has become a pain in Chiang Kai-shek's heart. And now once again mentioning this army that has made itself so embarrassed, the expression on Chiang Kai-shek's face. It can be said that it is very rich....

Of course, at this moment, there is no need for Chiang Kai-shek to speak.

Chen Cheng, who was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant and favorite general, said with an uneven face: "Brother Yu Nong. I heard you right, you want to fight the idea of the New Fourth Army again. Have you forgotten all the face lost by the party-state in the last Southern Anhui Incident? ”

"Besides, after the last incident in southern Anhui, the ** army is on guard against us. It has been raised to a certain extent. In particular, the New Fourth Army, which is active in the hinterland of central China, will certainly send a powerful force to guard against a sneak attack by our ** troops, no matter what major operations it conducts... In this case, an attack was launched on the New Fourth Army . Undoubtedly make the nerves of the challenge**. provoked the second Kuomintang-Communist dispute

However, at this moment, to Chen Chengcheng's surprise. In the face of Dai Li's proposal, Chiang Kai-shek, who had only pondered for a short time, not only did not have any anger, but showed a sly smile on his face. Then, facing Chen Cheng in front of him, he spoke.

"Cixiu, for Yunong's proposal, you only thought of one aspect, and did not think of the other... As I just said, the current outcome of Japan, with the entry of the United States into the war, is very clear and has become a foregone conclusion. Therefore, as we on the anti-fascist front, China's War of Resistance will also usher in the final counteroffensive. At this stage, with the existing ** troops on the front line, it is enough to deal with the possible counteroffensive of the Japanese army in the future. After several years of hard work, hundreds of thousands of elite troops have been trained in our rear to deal with possible changes in the country. With these hundreds of thousands of elites in hand, even if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party completely break up, our ** troops will have enough ability to deal with possible changes, at least, we can maintain the current situation in the south."

"As for North China or the three eastern provinces, it is an area controlled by ****** anyway, so let the little devils make trouble. Let the little devils constantly weaken the vitality of the ** troops in the two places. This is for us, there is only a hundred benefits and no harm, and Chiang Kai-shek's face has shown a sneer

For a moment, I saw the weird smile on Chiang Kai-shek's face in front of me. Chen Cheng and Dai Li's faces immediately showed shocked looks. Because, at this moment, they have been from the smile of Chiang Kai-shek in front of them. I felt a big news. That is. In the next period of time, there will definitely be a very huge change in the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but at this moment, there is no room for the two of them to continue to think. Because, Chiang Kai-shek in front of him. He quickly got up from his seat. Then, he walked quickly to the huge combat map, and began to think about the specific way according to the train of thought just now.

At this moment, the central part of Taiyuan, far away, is still immersed in the victories of the three units of the Northeast Field Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army in a series of counteroffensives. Unbeknownst to him, Chairman Chiang, who was far away in Chongqing, had already begun to draw up a plan to expel or directly send troops to wipe out the New Fourth Army units operating in central China. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek, as an old rival, was already brewing a second break between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party

A few days later, the Ministry of National Defense of the Chongqing Nationalist Government, which had been in contact with the Ministry of Defense of the Chongqing Nationalist Government for a long time, suddenly sent a telegram to the ** Central Station. And this telegram is Chiang

Kai-shek. Asked for the New Fourth Army units operating in Central China. Move the guard now. Completely launch the specific combat life in Central China.

"What does Chiang Kai-shek want to do about the last Southern Anhui Incident, which has just ended less than two years, and now we have started the idea of the New Fourth Army again. Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek was really not afraid of destroying the united front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and in the end, causing the whole of China to fall back into a strategy, so that our common enemy would reap the benefits of the scum? After reading the telegram in his hand, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but look angry. Facing the two partners in front of him, he roared loudly to vent his dissatisfaction

Seeing the commander-in-chief with an angry face in front of him, the chairman and vice chairman Zhou who read the telegram in their hands could only smile bitterly. Because, in the decades-long struggle with Chiang Kai-shek. The two of them had already clearly understood Chiang Kai-shek's temper and did not show too much surprise at the sudden order from Chiang Kai-shek in front of them....

In the end, it was the chairman who first asked: "Enlai, among the three of us, you are the only one who has the most contact with Chiang Kai-shek." In your opinion, what is the most important reason for Chiang Kai-shek's order? ”

After a quick glance at the battle map in front of him. Vice Chairman Zhou's face immediately showed a sly smile, and then he said, "Chairman. Boss, if nothing else, our old adversary, watching us continue to grow and develop, can't bear the loneliness anymore and wants to make a move on us... Because. With the changes in the situation in the three eastern provinces, the area controlled by our ****** has included the entire North China, the three eastern provinces, Shaanxi and Gansu, plus the Central China region controlled by the New Fourth Army.... Such a large area is in our hands. Chiang Kai-shek was not worried. It's impossible not to be taboo against us..........

"Yes, yes," the chairman nodded approvingly, and continued.

"Chiang Kai-shek wanted to drive our sphere of influence out of Central China and reduce the area under our control. As for the incident in southern Anhui that happened last time, if nothing else. As long as we do not carry out the order, our opponent Chiang Kai-shek, does not care about launching it again ... After all, the current situation in the country is fundamentally different from what it was a year ago."

Sure enough, just as the chairman's words fell, Ye Jianying, chief of the general staff of the Central Military Commission. With a telegram in hand, he rushed in panting. Before the chairman and others could ask questions, Ye Jianying, who was eager, spoke impatiently.

"Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, Xi'an Office Urgent"

"Xi'an... Read? Hearing Ye Jianying's answer, the chairman asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.

"Yes. Our party office in Xi'an reported that the hundreds of thousands of troops ****** reorganized and trained in the Xi'an area began this morning and all entered a state of combat readiness. At the same time, the logistics agencies began to replenish a large amount of food and ammunition. It seems that he is ready to go to the front line and conduct a big military operation" Ye Jianying hurriedly replied.

Going to the front line and hearing Ye Jianying's answer, the commander-in-chief's brows furrowed again. Then, looking at the chairman and others around him, he asked rhetorically with a puzzled face

"As far as I know, the whole of South China. Although the Japanese launched several attacks in succession. However, they were all smashed by the ****** army to a front line, and there was no need for the army to replenish it. Chiang Kai-shek is now mobilizing hundreds of thousands of elites in the Xi'an area to go to the front, is ****** also preparing to use these hundreds of thousands of elites to launch a counteroffensive? ”

"Anti-small." In response to the commander-in-chief's rhetorical question, the chairman's mouth couldn't help but let out a sarcastic voice.

Then, facing the commander-in-chief in front of him with a puzzled face, he spoke. "Boss, when did you see our old rival doing such a thankless job?" If my guess is correct, the front of these hundreds of thousands of troops must be directed at Central China. And their combat mission is to expel or eliminate the New Fourth Army Headquarters in Central China."

As soon as the chairman's words fell, the commander-in-chief's face showed a look of shock and incredulity. Vice Chairman Zhou followed suit and said with a look of approval: "I agree with the chairman's analysis. These hundreds of thousands of troops are an elite force composed of a large number of veterans drawn from the front line in ******. Chiang Kai-shek would never allow such an elite force, completely obeying his orders, to be consumed on the frontal battlefield.

"Chairman, Enlai. Could it be that this time, Chiang Kai-shek really wants to risk the world's inaction and launch another incident in southern Anhui that shocked China and foreign countries. Isn't he worried that the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will completely break with him because of his actions? The Commander-in-Chief still asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.

"Break? Commander-in-Chief, with the outbreak of the Pacific War and the entry of the United States into the battlefield, it was doomed to the fate of Japan's eventual defeat. It is clear that our old adversary, Chiang Kai-shek, also saw this. Although, the little devils who stay in the territory of China . Looks very powerful. In fact, as Japan uses its limited national strength to launch a southward battle plan, their end is coming. In the face of such a good opportunity, our opponent Chiang Kai-shek, of course, will not let go. Besides, even if the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party breaks down. It will not have much impact on the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China." The Chairman replied in the affirmative.

Compare the huge map of all things in front of you. After a short period of thought, the commander-in-chief. I have to agree with the Chairman's words. Then. Very none

Rosewood shook her head. Speak.. Chairman. You're right. As far as the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the whole country is concerned, even if the second cooperation between the two parties of the Kuomintang and the nose is immediately broken, it will have a negative impact on the situation of the next Anti-Japanese War. There won't be much shadow either. The two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party almost take the line of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River as the dividing line, and each fights its own and complements each other.

However, in just a moment, the commander-in-chief's words changed, followed closely behind, and continued to ask.

"But what should we do about Chiang Kai-shek's orders and their military operations? Could it be that they just watched ****** hundreds of thousands of elites expel our New Fourth Army from Central China? Then. occupy the base that our army has worked so hard to fight."

"The base areas that our army has worked so hard to fight down will give up if we say let's give up, and Chiang Kai-shek will treat us ****** as nothing. To know. The army under the leadership of our party now is not the army of two years ago, and it is not what Chiang Kai-shek can do whatever he wants. A sneer appeared at the corner of the chairman's mouth, and a man on his face showed a thick murderous aura. Then, he said with great certainty

"What are you going to do, Chairman?.. Seeing the instantaneous change in the chairman's face in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou, the commander-in-chief, and the two of them asked rhetorically almost in unison.

"Judging from the current situation, the New Fourth Army, which is active in Central China, is surrounded by ****** army and Japanese army on three sides. So, my thoughts are. The entire New Fourth Army, in addition to leaving part of its troops, will continue to hold on to it with the help of the favorable terrain in the base area, and wait for our army's future counteroffensive. The main force of the New Fourth Army. Take the initiative to withdraw from Central China... Avoid fighting with the ****** army in Central China, and leave a bad image to the people of the whole country that our party is not subordinate to the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression."

Seeing that the two partners nodded in agreement, the chairman continued to speak: "Of course, as I said just now, the base area that our army has worked so hard to fight must not be handed over to the ****** sheep team so easily. Rather, there is a conditional retreat. If we don't agree, and Chiang Kai-shek wants to solve it through war, then we will solve it through war. Let Chiang Kai-shek have a good taste of the combat effectiveness of our New Fourth Army."

"Chairman, what are the specific conditions" Seeing the confident chairman in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou asked.

"Our troops, retreat north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains. Then, all the ** troops north of the Zhun River must retreat to the south of the Huai River. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party, with the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River as the dividing line, each fight its own way," the chairman replied with a resolute face.

"Hehe, this condition is good. Chairman. I completely agree with you... With the existing forces of our party, it is enough to control all the areas north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains. As long as the time is ripe, the army of more than one million troops under the leadership of our party can launch a large-scale counteroffensive to deal with all the Japanese troops in the area under their control...... Hearing the chairman's conditions, the commander-in-chief's eyes lit up, and he responded with a smile.., Chongqing Chiang Kai-shek's official residence, a group of ****** senior officers, stood motionless in front of Chiang Kai-shek, enduring Chiang Kai-shek's wrath..

"Niang Xipi, what do you want to do, do you want to blackmail the government... Not only did they not obey the order of the Ministry of National Defense, but they demanded that all the best troops operating in North China withdraw from North China... What does he think he is, is he president? No, the government must not allow these people to continue to do whatever they want like this ******" After a burst of angry scolding, the faces of the officers immediately showed nervous looks. He stood very uneasily, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's order in front of him.

After a short period of thought, Chiang Kai-shek, who had already made a decision, did not hesitate at all. Facing Chen Cheng in front of him, he asked with a serious face: "Cixiu, is the more than 300,000 troops in Xi'an ready to attack?"

"Report to the principal, a total of 20 reorganized divisions, and the 320,000 army has been completely reorganized. Follow your orders. I'm ready to strike at any time." Chen Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied.

"Very good, now I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Su-Anhui Theater, and command all the ** troops in the Su-Anhui Theater and the twenty integrated divisions that have just been completed in Xi'an. It is required that you purge all bandit troops in the Su-Anhui theater who do not obey the orders of the Ministry of Defense in the shortest possible time. At the same time, guard against the Japanese troops in the Soviet-Anhui theater. Take advantage of the fire to rob..."Comparing the map in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek ordered with a decisive face.

"Yes, Headmaster, the students will live up to your Houli, Headmaster." Chen Cheng replied excitedly.

After receiving Chen Cheng's affirmative answer, Chiang Kai-shek immediately set his eyes on Dai Li's body. Then. Very serious order.

"Yunong, if you want to completely solve all the bandit troops in the Suzhou-Anhui theater, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the strength of one person. Your military commander must cooperate at all times. From now on, you have to draw a large number of intelligence forces and devote them to the Suzhou-Anhui theater. After the arrival of the main force, we must thoroughly find out the specific deployment of the bandit army in the entire Suzhou-Anhui theater..."

"Yes, Headmaster, the student is assured to complete the assignment... Dai Lian also did not hesitate and replied very decisively.
