The entire East China Field Army, as Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua issued an order on the reorganization of the troops, began to operate like a high-speed machine. However, at a time when the hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters of the East China Field Army were being reorganized in a very orderly manner, the Central Military Commission, which was too far away, had two different voices at this moment.

It turned out that after the East China Field Army successfully annihilated the Japanese Central China Front, the top level of the central authorities immediately saw that the entire country, the comparison of the military strength of the enemy and our army, had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the opportunity to liberate the whole of China seemed to be close at hand. As a result, two different voices on how to liberate the whole of China have resounded within the Central Military Commission.

Among them, one voice is the local faction headed by the chairman, vice chairman Zhou, and the commander-in-chief. It is hoped that the East China Field Army and the New Fourth Army will be able to make persistent efforts to first deal with the 200,000 elites of the Kwantung Army who are still entrenched in the Lianghu area, and to open up contact with the Kuomintang in the Chongqing area. After the reorganization of the national army, the whole country gathered the strength of the whole country to launch a final counteroffensive against the remnants of the Japanese army entrenched in the country, and liberated the whole of China in one fell swoop....

As for the other group of Lingering Soviet factions headed by Wang Ming and others, under the hint of Stalin in the Soviet Union, they strongly demanded that the army first counterattack the northeast. In the shortest possible time, the Kwantung Army units entrenched in the three northeastern provinces were completely resolved, and the pressure on the Soviet Red Army in the Far East was relieved, so that it could draw out heavy troops, reinforce the Western Front, and block the frantic offensive of the German army on the thin line.

You must know that the whole of China, after several years of long-term resistance against Japan, has long been dragged exhausted, full of trauma, and can no longer withstand any major blows. There is no doubt that this proposal by the chairman and others is the best for China as a whole and a strategic idea that will cause the least harm to the country.

Because they knew in their hearts that the Japanese troops in the whole of China, although they had sunset, did not have any advantage in terms of troops. However, even so, the Japanese armed forces entrenched in China still have a full million troops, and these millions of troops are entrenched in various large and medium-sized cities across the country.

Cities are undoubtedly the lifeblood of a country's development. It is necessary to allow the whole country to develop in all aspects, especially heavy industry, in the shortest possible time. Those large, medium and small cities will definitely play a very important role.

And if in the war, all the cities with a certain industrial base are destroyed, then it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to this country that is already in a state of devastation.

In accordance with the suggestion of the chairman and others, we should first get in touch with the national army, and then carry out a unified reorganization of the national army. Then, the entire national defense force will undergo a qualitative change. At that time, with the southward movement of the Kwantung Army and the destruction of the two armies of the Central China Front Army one after another, there is no doubt that the Chinese army will have an absolute advantage on the Chinese battlefield.

When the time comes, gathering the strength of the whole country to launch a final counteroffensive against the remnants of the Japanese army will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort, and do the best possible to save these cities from the flames of war.

If, as suggested by Wang Ming and others, a counteroffensive was first launched against the three eastern provinces, it would undoubtedly increase the burden on the Chinese and slow down the progress of this war of resistance.

After all, the entire three eastern provinces, under the management of the Japanese army, are no longer the three eastern provinces of the past. Although, the current Northeast Field Army and the remaining troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army already occupy a certain advantage in terms of strength. However, if you want to really capture these cities that the Kwantung Army has entrenched all year round, you will not only have to pay huge casualties, but also destroy these industrial cities.

At the same time, the counterattack on the three eastern provinces is bound to be a long battle. And in this long battle, the CCP must gather the strength of the whole country to support this battle. After all, the foundation of the CCP alone is still a bit weak.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. Most importantly, this long battle provided ample time for the little devils scattered in other parts of China, especially the southbound troops of the Kwantung Army entrenched in the Lianghu area. If it cannot be completely annihilated one day earlier, after it receives new reinforcements from the country, it will become a serious problem for the entire Chinese army......

In the chairman's office, thinking about another kind of remarks that have appeared in the central government at present, it is a headache. Because, since Wang Ming clearly put forward this kind of remarks, it has aroused the collective approval of the many factions in the party who remain in the Soviet Union. Although, after several years of development, this power does not occupy any advantage in front of these local leaders of their own. However, it is still a force to be reckoned with. Because, these people, all headed by the Soviet Comintern. And the Soviet Union, as a leading state, is the boss that the Chinese Communist Party does not dare to offend at present......

"Enlai, you say, what should we do in this situation. You know, if you don't delay a day now, the strength of the Japanese army will increase, and the time left for us by the Japanese army is running out..."The chairman asked with a frown at his old partner Zhou Enlai, vice chairman of the company.

It was clear from the chairman's face. This is a question that has been bothering the Chair for a long time.

"Chairman, since it can't be solved in the Politburo. Why don't we find a way to solve it within the military. After all, fighting a war is a matter for the army, and those generals at all levels who are on the front line will definitely have some more unexpected views on the direction of our army's development..."Vice Chairman Zhou replied thoughtfully.

"What do you mean...."As soon as Vice Chairman Zhou's words fell, the chairman seemed to think of something. The frowning brows also stretched out at the first time, and continued to ask Vice Chairman Zhou in front of him.

"Chairman, I mean, let the commanders-in-chief send a telegram to the Central Committee to explain their thoughts in detail....especially Comrade Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, because his ideas coincide with the facts in many cases....More importantly, letting these high-ranking generals who hold military power speak will be more effective and more deterrent than those of us who can only grind our tongues......," Vice Chairman Zhou said with a resolute face.

"Well, let the military generals at the front line speak... Good idea, Enlai, how could I not have thought of such a good solution. Among these generals, especially our Comrade Liu Hua, not only possess a very high military quality, but also a very high political and strategic vision. You must know that the suggestions he gave to the Central Committee on the first few occasions have all been realized in the end....I agree with these suggestions, and let the four commanders of the front line report to the Central Committee in the shortest possible time from their own point of view. In particular, Comrade Liu Hua, who is far away in Nanjing...", the chairman with a smile on his face, ordered categorically.

"Yes, Chairman......"

Headquarters of the East China Field Army in Nanjing.

After receiving the telegram personally signed by the chairman of the Central Military Commission, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua couldn't help but be stunned. Because, for these strategic matters, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee has always studied them, and then assigned specific operational goals to themselves.

And in front of him, the chairman actually asked the commanders of the four major military regions, which had to shock Liu Hua.

However, as the highest-ranking general of the Communist Party of China, he still has a certain understanding of the struggle within the party. Under the reminder of the political commissar, Liu Hua immediately understood the current predicament faced by the chairman and others. However, as a military general at present, Liu Hua knows very well in his heart that before he really becomes a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, it is better not to participate in these struggles. Thinking of this, Liu Hua could only shake his head very helplessly, and then put his thoughts on the telegram in his hand.

As Liu Hua from later generations, after reading the two strategic ideas in the telegram, of course, there is no doubt about the chairman's plan. As for Wang Ming and others' combat plans, Liu Hua sneered mercilessly.

In his words, Wang Ming's battle plan, in addition to being of great benefit to the Soviet Red Army in the Far East and to the entire Soviet Union, was not only not beneficial to the whole of China, but on the contrary was very disadvantageous. Thinking of this, Liu Hua didn't hesitate, directly picked up a pen and began to write the content of the call back in person...

"Okay....political commissar, immediately in my name, send this telegram to the Central Military Commission... In addition, in the shortest possible time, the military cadres of all the members of the party committee of the East China Field Army will be summoned to ... Zhong, come to the headquarters for a meeting....If nothing else, this time, we will have another life-and-death battle with our old rival. Liu Hua said to Deng Xiaoping, the political commissar beside him.

"Fight against an old rival, Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean...," Deng Xiaoping asked rhetorically, with a puzzled expression.

As you can see, according to the chairman's operational thinking, our old opponent is the elite of the 200,000 Kwantung Army under the command of Umezu Mijiro. Hehe, I think at the beginning, General Umezu Mijiro and I have been fighting against each other in the three eastern provinces for a year or two, but I didn't expect that now in South China, I will meet this old enemy again......" Liu Hua said with a smile.

"The 200,000 elites of the Kwantung Army, plus the two field divisions of the Central China Field Army that were dragged in the Lianghu area, that is a full 250,000 elites....Commander-in-Chief, it seems that another tough battle will be put in front of our East China Field Army..." Deng Xiaoping was not as optimistic as Liu Hua, and shook his head very helplessly and said.

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins....political commissar, if our East China Field Army wants to develop, it is necessary to defeat one powerful opponent after another, so that it can truly develop and grow. So, the more challenging the opponent, the more I like it. Don't worry, Matsui Ishone died at our hands, and this Umezu Mijiro will also die at my hands. Liu Hua replied confidently.
