Chapter 394: Taizhou Erli
Chen Yi's words expressed the hearts of all the generals of the New Fourth Army, in the more than two years of fighting, there were times when the Nationalist Army fought bravely, but it was not uncommon to abandon the city and flee, and even after Wang Jingwei and others surrendered to Japan and established the Nanjing puppet government, many Nationalist troops surrendered immediately once they were surrounded, and many of the puppet troops in Nanjing came in this way.

Among those troops who insisted on the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many military discipline corruption, and many ordinary people were robbed by the Japanese army after the bandits, and the bandits robbed the Nationalist Army, which also made the New Fourth Army extremely disdainful.
Su Yu asked, "What instructions does Yan'an have?" β
Yuan Heping said: "Yan'an has sent Comrade Liu Dake, let Comrade Liu Dake talk about it first." β
Liu Dake, who had not spoken beside him, nodded, stood up and said: "Comrades, we must first realize the importance of our development in central and northern Jiangsu, Jiangsu is divided into three parts, southern Jiangsu is the richest, and the Japanese army is intensive, although we can fight guerrillas, but it is unrealistic to want to open up base areas, and only the relatively barren central and northern Jiangsu is the direction of our development.
Let's analyze the situation around us again, although our army has opened up many base areas, there are Li Pinxian in the west, Han Deqin in the north, the National Salvation Army in the east, the Japanese invaders in the south, and other warlords are armed like forests. It looks like we're doing well, but it's actually in crisis! Our army must not be complacent because of the small victory ahead.
Finally, let me talk about Yan'an's thoughts. β
As he spoke, Liu Dake took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the "Deployment for the Development of Central China Base Areas" just passed by Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao believes that now due to the effective counterattack of our army, whether it is Li Pinxian or Han Deqin, or Er Li and the National Salvation Army, they will not attack our army in a short time, but this is not to stop friction, but to prepare for greater friction, and our army must fully understand it.
In addition, Chiang also had the intention of stopping the military conflict and negotiating with us on the condition that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army should be incorporated north of the Yellow River and the north of the Yellow River as the defense area of our two armies.
But first, the situation of the enemy in North China has changed, Shanxi, Suiyuan and other places have been recovered, but Shandong and other places are far away from the central government and urgently need support from Central China, so they cannot survive without entering Central China; Second, in the event of a possible nationwide abrupt change, our army must not be confined to the north of the Yellow River and not enter the Central Plains, so Central China is our most important lifeline; Third, this time, Chiang ordered Han Deqin, Li Pinxian, and all the Hubei, Henan, Anhui, and Soviet armies to attack our New Fourth Army and provoke the other side, so I should still take this opportunity to send the necessary troops south and north to open up the situation.
It is now demanded that the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu, in spite of the criticism, restrictions, and oppression of the recalcitrant army, stretch from Nanjing in the west, to the seaside in the east, to Hangzhou in the south, and to Xuzhou in the north, to control all areas that it can control as quickly and in a planned manner as quickly as possible, to expand the army independently, to establish political power, to set up financial organs, and to build a base area in East China together with Lin Sanhu's 115th Division. β
As he spoke, Liu Dake asked, "Do you all understand what the central government meant?" β
Xiang Ying asked, "Then we want to take the initiative to attack?" β
Liu Dake shook his head and said, "No, now we are fighting a public opinion war with Chongqing, so we must pay attention to ways and means, or the old saying, we don't shoot the first shot, we have to fight a defensive counterattack." β
Gao Jingting has been in the Dabie Mountain base for a long time, and this time it is rare to come to the military headquarters for a meeting, and when he heard Liu Dake say this, he immediately asked, "This defensive counterattack also has to be attacked by the recalcitrant army first, but now that Chongqing has asked them to restrain themselves, we have won another victory, I am afraid that in a short time, they will not take the initiative to attack us." β
Liu Dake said with a smile, "So we must divide our surrounding forces first, everyone look here, this is Taizhou, now it is stationed by Er Li, Er Li and Han Deqin are not of the same mind, as long as the differentiation is appropriate, Er Li will definitely sit on the sidelines, but after all, Er Li nominally belongs to the Chongqing National Army sequence, if our army captures Han Deqin's place, turn back to Er Li, I believe Chongqing will not be able to say anything." As for restraint, this Han Deqin's subordinates are mixed, and I don't believe that his subordinates can be restrained anywhere. β
Everyone talked about it, you said, I said, and a plan immediately took shape.
-- Suburbs of Nanjing
"It's strange why this telegram is completely wrong in translation." A young woman said with a telegram handed to the middle-aged man next to her.
When the middle-aged man saw it, he immediately said, "It's not good, the Japanese army has changed the password, contact Shangfeng immediately, the Japanese army must have something to do." β
-- Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Nanjing
"Itagaki-kun, why did you suddenly change your password?" Nishio asked as he poured Seishiro Itagaki a glass of sake.
Seishiro Itagaki sighed, "I've been looking at the file again in the past few months and found something interesting. β
Nishio asked, "What's the matter?" β
Itagaki Seishiro looked at Nishio and said, "Our previous failures in North China, I have always felt that the Eighth Route Army fought too well, as if knowing our actions, this is not something that the intelligence department can explain, and how many eyeliners we used to have around Jiang Intermediary Ah, it is simply impossible to say, but now, there are very few, I think, our radio password has been leaked." β
Nishio's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Is this true??" β
Seishiro Itagaki nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens." β
Nishio snorted and said, "Yes, now is the critical moment to transfer troops and send generals, it is to keep it secret, by the way, now that Chongqing is showing weakness, will this red-white dispute just stop like this?" β
Seishiro Itagaki took a sip of sake and said with a smile: "No, the contradiction between red and white cannot be adjusted, do you want Han Deqin to withdraw from Jiangsu or do you want the New Fourth Army to stop going north?" And we add fuel to them. β
Nishio settled down and asked, "So you have a move?" β
Seishiro Itagaki smiled and said, "It's already started, let's wait to see the show." β
-- Taizhou
Chen Yi and Li Mingyang, you say a word, I say a word, I am so unhappy, this Li Mingyang is a native of Jiangsu, during the Xinhai Revolution, he was already the commander of the Hukou Fortress, in the second year of the Republic of China, he and Li Liejun launched the Hukou Campaign, firing the first shot against Yuan's restoration. After going to Japan and Germany to study military affairs, and participated in the second war against Yuan, but in the 25th year of the Republic of China, but at the Lushan Conference, was attacked by Han Deqin, forced to go into the field, until the 77 Incident, only to put on the uniform again, and raised troops to resist the Japanese, because he was famous in the local area, and had financial resources, quickly pulled up a force of more than 30,000 people, entrenched in Taizhou, so that the Japanese puppet army could not be lightly offended.
Li Mingyang patted Chen Yi on the back and said, "Then it's decided, the previous things are all in the past, from now on, we will help each other and fight against Japan together." β
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Okay, with Commander Li's words, our New Fourth Army will rest assured, if Taizhou is in trouble, our New Fourth Army will definitely do its best to help, if my New Fourth Army has any difficulties." β
Li Mingyang patted his chest and said, "My Taizhou is the hometown of your New Fourth Army. β
Chen Yi thanked him again and again, and watched Chen Yi and the others ride away, Li Changjiang walked out and said to Li Mingyang, "Big brother, just say it?" β
Li Changjiang followed Li Mingyang in his early years, was once Li Mingyang's guard company commander, and formed a friend of life and death, but was later sued by the local gentry to the provincial government for bullying and exploiting the villagers, and was dismissed. After the 77 Incident, he returned to Nanjing, recommended himself to join the field ambulance corps of the garrison army, and was appointed as the deputy captain with the rank of colonel, commanding the rescue of the wounded and sick. When the city of Nanjing fell, he, like other troops, walked on the pontoon bridge built by Jiang Cheng, fled to the south bank, and took refuge with Li Mingyang, who was Li Mingyang's deputy at this time.
Li Mingyang snorted and said, "What can I do then?" Is it a fight with the New Fourth Army? Not to mention Han Deqin and Li Pinxian, they are Japanese, what advantage did they take advantage of Ye Ting? β
Li Changjiang shook his head and said, "Big brother, after all, this New Fourth Army is a member of the Red Party, and if we associate with them, if the chairman knows about it, it will be a big crime." β
Li Mingyang was most annoyed that Li Changjiang was the chairman of the committee at every turn, he shook his hand and said, "Don't talk about that, now the New Fourth Army wants to coexist peacefully with us, we just coexist peacefully with them, anyway, we can't beat others, besides, this New Fourth Army is not too bad, didn't a few days ago from Jiangdu only a force occupy Guocun, we fought with them, no, people immediately came with gifts to reconcile, and also said that they don't want to get too stiff with the chairman, if Han Deqin has friction with them again, They will still resolutely fight back, but the territory they have beaten will be handed over to us, so easy to talk to, you see, people do things - exquisite!! β
Li Changjiang shook his head and said, "Big brother, I don't think this matter is appropriate, this red party is here to grab territory." β
Li Mingyang looked at him and said, "Wouldn't I know?" But ah, Yangtze River, look at the north, how many good people are there who are against the Red Party in the battlefield behind enemy lines? I can see that the national army is okay on this frontal battlefield, but in the battlefield behind enemy lines, we are not the opponent of the Red Party at all, our people are fighting less and less, and the Red Party is fighting more and more!
And.... If I really want to choose, I would rather this Jiangsu is the New Fourth Army speak, and I don't want to see Han Deqin's face! Think about it yourself, when did the New Fourth Army ever disturb the people, and Han Deqin's subordinates are smoky, hey!! With that, Li Mingyang left with his hands behind his back.
Li Changjiang looked at Li Mingyang's back, sighed secretly, gritted his teeth, and returned to his home, in his room, a man had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Changjiang coming back, he immediately stood up and said, "Commander Li?" What do you think? Am I right? β
Li Changjiang nodded and said, "Mr. Rong, what you said is indeed right, this Li Mingyang is determined to go with the Red Party!" But even so, if you want me to surrender to the Japanese, I can't do it. β
Mr. Rong immediately hurriedly said, "What surrendered to the Japanese?" Sling the bull!! Commander Li, that is attached to the Nanjing government, under the account of Chairman Wang, and before I came, both Chairman Wang and Commander Xiwei said that as long as you are willing to go to Nanjing, at least one rank of general will not be able to escape. β
Hearing the rank of general, Li Changjiang's eyes lit up, but when he thought of Li Mingyang, who treated him like a brother, he shook his head and said, "My eldest brother is still here, I can't do anything to be sorry for my eldest brother, but I can consider the cooperation you said." β
Although Mr. Rong was a little disappointed, he still nodded and said, "Okay, then let's talk about cooperation, we are willing to borrow troops for you!" Borrow weapons! Borrow ammo! Borrow money! As long as you deal with the New Fourth Army, we will give you what you want, and you don't have to pay it back. β
Li Changjiang smiled: "Aren't you afraid that these bullets will fly to your own heads in the end?" β
Mr. Rong said haha, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can eliminate the Red Party, in the end, these bullets really hit our heads, and we are willing." β
Li Changjiang nodded and said, "Okay, I guarantee that as long as I, Li Changjiang, am still alive for a day, the New Fourth Army will not want to live in Jiangsu safely!" β
-- Germany
Jiang Cheng watched countless seawater poured into the dock of the submarine, and said to DΓΆnitz with a smile, "Now you are happy, this modular production has finally succeeded." β
DΓΆnitz held his mouth and smiled, "Jiang, thanks to you, I have already placed an order for thirty-six submarines, and my submarine force has begun to expand." I'll take care of what you said. β
Jiang Cheng nodded, Chen Nan came over at this time, whispered a few words in Jiang Cheng's ear, Jiang Cheng nodded and said to DΓΆnitz, "I still have some things, then I'll go first." β
DΓΆnitz waved goodbye to Jiang Cheng, and in the car, Jiang Cheng asked, "Show me the original." β
Chen Nan handed the telegram to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng looked at it, and asked in his mind, "Gallagher, I remember that this code is mainly in mathematics, will you?" β
Gallagher immediately shook his paw and said, "You're wrong, it's not just math, it's linguistics, although I know Japanese, but God knows what language they use, besides, you can't change their language, just let me go, you still have to have your own deciphering power." β
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "Since Yan'an has sent it, it means that Yan'an will not be able to decipher it in a short time, and in the past few months, the Japanese army will definitely launch a new offensive, and in the south, the contradictions between the red and white parties are intensifying, so now Yan'an must be in a hurry." β
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng looked out the window and said, "According to you, what does this code decipher need?" Mathematicians and linguists? β
Gallagher nodded, and then said, "Of course, it's better to have machinery, you give them a notebook, it's better than ten great mathematicians." β
Jiang Cheng shook his head violently and said, "This is not good, that thing is too advanced, if the news leaks, I'm afraid something big will happen, but the old-fashioned calculator can.... Calculator? β
Jiang Cheng glanced at the telegram again, and immediately said to Chen Nan, "Chen Nan, immediately send a telegram to China, be sure to find out when the Japanese army will change the code and the date when Ishihara will return to China." β
Chen Nan replied, indicating that he understood.
Gallagher asked, "Do you suspect that the Germans are helping the Japanese?" β
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I remembered that the Japanese army in history relied on Germany's Enigma cipher machine to create its own cipherland, I think this time Ishihara Guaner probably not only brought new military ideas and weapons back to Japan, I still underestimated him."
