Dai Li didn't dare to answer, and stood next to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Chongxi said, "I see Boling's plan, there is still a certain feasibility, that is, it is a little risky, but now the Japanese army has concentrated more than 100,000 people in Changsha, it is difficult not to risk and want to win, although we launched a diversion attack in Changsha and the Huaihe River Valley, but the effect is not obvious, I suggest that we still support Boling's battle plan." ”

Jiang Zhong took a breath and said, "Since you also think so, then implement it, tell Xue Yue that this battle is related to the overall situation of the anti-Japanese strategy, if he wins, he will be the contemporary Yu Yunwen, a big hero, if he loses, not only him, but me, it will also be nailed to history and be spitted upon!" ”

Bai Chongxi and the others nodded yes, and couldn't help but express their silence to Xue Yue in Changsha.

After the news of the Eighth Route Army's capture of Lianyungang reached the Soviet Union, it caused a bloody storm to be set off in the Soviet Union.

- Moscow

The floor of Stalin's office was littered with books and antiques that Stalin had used to extinguish the fire, and a matryoshka doll had been smashed into powder, as if to make a silent accusation.

Beria knocked on the door and said, "Comrade Stalin, it's me, Beria. ”

Stalin smoked his pipe and said, "Come in." ”

Beria walked in, looked at the mess on the ground, carefully avoided what was on the ground, he walked up to Stalin and said, "Comrade Stalin, what happened?" ”

Chief Stalin spat out a puff of cigarette, handed him a piece of information, and said: "Have you read this information?" ”

Beria walked over and looked at it a few times and nodded and said, "This is the information that our spies in Germany got by chance, but I don't think the credibility of this information is very large, although the Chinese Red Party is developing rapidly, and their troops do not know where to get a lot of weapons assistance, but this does not mean that there is a force in our party supporting the rise of the Chinese Red Party, and this information says that there are a large number of scientists in our party who are scientifically assisting the Chinese Red Party, and there is even a list." I think this is even more incredible, if nothing else, where does the Chinese Red Party have the ability to absorb our science and technology? And why this list appeared in Germany, I suspect that it may have been a treacherous ploy by Hitler. ”

Stalin smiled and said, "Indeed, I didn't think it was credible at first, although the strength of the Chinese Red Party was growing much faster than we expected, but what did some people in our party want to do by supporting Yan'an?" Let the Chinese Red Party defeat the Soviet Union and seize power? Hehe, ridiculous idea, but I got another piece of news today, which makes me think that this information is probably true. ”

As he spoke, Stalin handed Beria another piece of information that he was holding and said, "Look at it, the armed 115th Division of the Chinese Red Party has just captured the Chinese coastal port - Lianyungang, which is guarded by Japanese warships, but before the war, these battleships were wiped out by a mysterious team of warships, you say.... Who will this fleet belong to? Chongqing? Or Yan'an? ”

Beria was shocked and said, "This can't be, right? Could it be that the Chinese Red Party used other means, this fleet... Let's not talk about where the battleships came from, let's talk about the personnel, and don't talk about the ones that can be trained in a day or two. ”

Stalin squinted his eyes and said, "There are two possibilities, in the Far East in addition to Japan, there are only France, Britain and us, Britain and France can not help the Chinese Red Party, so it can only be our fleet, then it means that there is indeed such a force in our party trying to support Yan'an, want to make the Chinese Red Party bigger... Of course, this is in line with our expectations, but judging from the performance of Yan'an in the last two years, their understanding of redism has begun to deviate, and this deviation may be the result of that force, which may have something to do with Trotskyism. ”

Trotskyism, the simple two words made Beria feel a little chill in his back, in the past few years, in order to purge the Trotskyists, I don't know how many people have died, looking at Stalin's appearance, he is ready to raise the butcher's knife again.

Stalin continued: "The second possibility is that the Chinese Red Party bought the battleship itself and trained the crew itself, which of the two do you think is more likely? ”

Beria's head was sweating, and he knew exactly what the consequences would be if his answer did not meet Stalin's wishes.

Beria said excitedly: "I think the first one is more likely, Comrade Stalin, I think that the Chinese Red Party is now hiding a large number of Trotskyists, and in addition, the Trotskyists in our Party are probably lurking and uniting with the Red Party abroad to conquer our impregnable Soviet Union from the outside." I propose that all suspicious persons be investigated, and at the same time send people to Yan'an to investigate the real situation in Yan'an. ”

Stalin nodded with satisfaction and said, "The list I got last time must be verified first, and those who have turned their backs on the people will be dealt the most severe blow, Yan'an is going to go, Germany and Britain and France have declared war, although they have not fired for several months, but after all, it is a state of war, Hitler will not tear up the peace agreement with us, we must make good use of this time to shape our interior as hard as steel." ”

Beria took the list of information and retreated, closed the door of Stalin's office, he let out a long breath, he returned to the office, first checked the list, and couldn't help frowning, he found that some of them had actually entered the concentration camp and were doing heavy labor, he immediately returned to Stalin's office to report the news.

Stalin squinted his eyes and said, "This is even more terrible, these people are concentrated in concentration camps, but they keep spreading news from outside, and even reach out to China, what is this?" This shows that there is a problem not only within our party, but also in our Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Beria was so frightened by Stalin's words that his glasses slipped down and he didn't dare to help him, and he hurriedly said: "I will go back and investigate immediately, and I will definitely weed out these scum in the party." ”

Beria returned to his room in fear, hurriedly called his subordinates, only to see that his face became hideous and said, "Now check all the people in these lists, what they have been doing from 37 years to the present, who they have been in contact with, what research they have done, what words they have said, they must give me a clear investigation, in addition, thoroughly check the quantity of all materials in the army, whether there is any abnormality, I would rather kill the wrong!" Don't let it go! ”

The Great Purge of the Soviet Union, which had already died down, began again under the joint stimulus of Jiang Cheng's list given to Chen Nan and the capture of Lianyungang by the 115th Division, and at the same time Stalin sent his most trusted Malenkov to Xinjiang to prepare to go to Yan'an through Xinjiang.

In fact, at this time, the road between Inner and Outer Mongolia had been opened, and the Soviet Union could go directly to Yan'an through Mongolia, but now it is specially detouring to Xinjiang, naturally in order to better understand some things.

- Huai'an

"Commander, the losses are too great, if you continue to fight like this, the troops will be exhausted." Ye Fei took the helmet and ran into the headquarters and said.

Saying that, Ye Fei found a pot of water, drank it with a grunt, and said after drinking, "This Huai'an is full of rivers, the devil sticks to the bridge of every river, we have to fight for every ditch repeatedly, we have never fought such a difficult battle, we have been fighting for a week, and we can't attack it for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers is discouraged." ”

Chen Yi frowned and scolded: "I can't stand it?" I don't think the morale of the soldiers is discouraged, but the morale of you, the commander and fighter, is really discouraged, if you can't do it, go down, you go to defend the back road, I will let the second division go up. ”

Ye Fei hurriedly said, "It's not a question of who to let go, army commander, the weather is sunny now, and the devil's plane is coming soon, and then our disadvantage will be even more obvious, I suggest that we take Siyang and Lianshui counties, and then concentrate our forces to fight Yancheng, this Huai'an is the main road of the canal, and the Japanese army has been operating here for many days, it is really strong... We have already lost three or four thousand men, and half of my first division has already been spelled out! ”

Chen Yi looked at Ye Fei, who had never been afraid of death, and became like this, knowing that the front line was indeed extremely hard, the canal was not cut off by the New Fourth Army, and the Japanese army could take the canal to support Huai'an from Dezhou, Taierzhuang, Xuzhou and other places.

Chen Yi, who thought about it, said, "The weather is indeed going to clear, so let's suspend the attack and move to the defense... I'll send a message to Yan'an to ask. ”

Within twenty minutes, Chen Yi received a call back from Yan'an, with only one sentence written on it: "The generals are outside, and the military order is not subject to it." ”

Chen Yi immediately understood that Chairman Mao was letting himself make a judgment based on the actual situation, and he said to Ye Fei, who was waiting, "Give up attacking Huai'an, you lead the first division to repair here, and go to Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake to develop guerrilla base areas, and I will bring the second division to take Jianhu and join the fourth division, and keep in touch at any time." ”

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

On July 21, the 29th year of the Republic of China, the New Fourth Army broke through Yancheng, and since then, the Red Party's anti-Japanese armed forces have mastered the vast area of northern Jiangsu that reaches Lianyungang in the north, Dongtai City in the south, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west, and the sea in the east, and has mastered two cities and 16 counties, with an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million, and the guerrilla area has expanded to Suqian, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Nantong, and other places.

- Nanjing

"The New Fourth Army stopped its offensive ... We lost a quarter of Jiangsu. Nishio looked at the battle report, sighed and said, "The Red Party is getting stronger and stronger, and after the Battle of Changsha, we must seize the time to sweep the Red Party's base area." ”

Seishiro Itagaki nodded and said, "That's right, otherwise... I'm afraid that this northern Jiangsu will become the second Shanxi. Order Okamura Ningji to increase the offensive, be sure to defeat Xue Yue as soon as possible, and let us free up our hands to deal with the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army! ”

——Lianyungang

"Slow down, slow down!! If this thing blows up, we're all going to be finished. Wang Ling nervously watched the sailors release one mine after another into the sea, and Wang Ling turned around and asked, "How many are these?" How many more metrics do we have? ”

The soldier was already a little bored and said, "This is the seventy-second, sir, we still have four hundred and eighteen, do these really have to be finished in three days?" ”

Wang Ling said angrily, "Nonsense, this is a death order, bastard, I shouldn't have said that our ship is running fast, we can arrange more, God knows there will be so many, and I can only do it at night for the sake of secrecy!" What are you talking about, work! ”

Jiang Cheng in the port looked at the piles of mines in the warehouse, looked at the sea anxiously and said, "This is too slow, the weather has cleared, the Japanese warships don't know when they are coming, if you don't hurry up, I'm really worried that we won't be able to protect our port." ”

Luo Ronghuan walked in at this time and said with a smile, "203, are you worried about Bray, look at what I brought you?" ”

Saying that, more than a dozen dark-skinned people appeared behind Luo Ronghuan, and their clothes were a little tattered, but it could be seen that they were already fishermen who had taken care of themselves very carefully.

Luo Ronghuan said: "These are all representatives of our fishermen in Lianyungang, and they know that we urgently need boats to lay mines, so they have come to help us on their own." I asked, there are hundreds of large and small fishing boats! These boats will help together, and the time should be in time. ”

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that Luo Ronghuan's back was simply bubbling with Buddha light, he smiled and said, "Okay, good, this is really good, in fact, the minelaying is very simple, just find a place and throw it in, I immediately asked my people to each follow a boat, and lay all the mines as soon as possible." ”

Saying that, Jiang Cheng asked Li Qian to call the guards to help transport the thunder.

After Li Qian left, Luo Ronghuan beckoned Jiang Cheng to the side to talk, Jiang Cheng walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

Luo Ronghuan took a telegram and said, "This is Chairman Mao's telegram, which is indicated for you to read alone, and I haven't read it either, so you can read it slowly by yourself." ”

Jiang Cheng listened, and read the telegram a little strangely, and the telegram said two things, the first is that Chairman Mao believes that the base areas in northern Jiangsu should enter the production stage as soon as possible, and hopes that Jiang Cheng can transport some equipment and materials to the New Fourth Army, so that the New Fourth Army can be self-sufficient and develop rapidly. The second is that the Soviet Union has arrived, and Malenkov, one of Stalin's most trusted people, is expected to arrive in Yan'an at the end of July.

Jiang Cheng put the telegram away, this is not a big deal to provide supplies to the New Fourth Army, but the Soviet Union is coming, this person is still Malenkov, this is interesting.

Malenkov was Russian, at this time less than forty years old, he went to war at the age of 16, but never went to the battlefield, just a clerk. At the age of 18 he joined the Red Party and studied at a higher technical school in Moscow, where most of his students and teachers supported Trotsky's views, but he adhered to the Stalinist line, condemned the position of "Trotskyites" and told the Central Committee that they should be eliminated. In the Great Purge, he was even more like a fish in water, not only became one of the main executioners of the Great Purge, but also became the head of the Organization Department, so to speak, he was a complete villain.

Jiang Cheng calculated the time, and he was not in a hurry to provide supplies for the New Fourth Army, so he should go to Yan'an first to take a look at this genius who invented the cadre file system.

After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng said to Luo Ronghuan, "We have a grassroots construction in the base area in northern Jiangsu, and there is nothing yet, I have to contribute to the construction of the base area, and the matter here will be entrusted to the general, if you need to find me, tell Li Qian directly, and let her contact me." ”

Luo Ronghuan knew that Jiang Cheng was busy with work and didn't dare to keep him, so he let Jiang Cheng leave after Li Qian came back. Li Qian was naturally reluctant to give up on Jiang Cheng, but she was also used to it, patted her ****, and after making a guarantee to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng found a hidden place to activate the space-time ball.
