Chapter 734: The Reaction of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party (Ask for Subscription!) ）

The reaction of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party

Taiyuan, with the war in the area of Suzhou and Anhui, continued to expand. The chairman and others had already put all their limited jīng forces on the protagonist of this war, the New Fourth Army. At the same time, in the huge war room, except for a huge national combat map, the rest are almost all combat maps of several provinces in central China....

Just when a few people, around a map, pointing, are discussing the people or something. The Director of Telecommunications, with an anxious face, rushed in, interrupting everyone's thoughts....

"Director Wang, what's the matter, so anxious..."I saw the director of the telecommunications department in front of me with an anxious look on his face. The chairman's brow immediately furrowed, and he asked.

"Report to the hands of you, the secret telegram jointly sent by the three leaders of the Northeast Field Army, Liu, Luo, and Zuo, and Chief of Staff Xu Tao personally translated..."Director Wang quickly replied. At the same time, he handed the telegram in his hand to the chairman in front of him...

"Eh, Northeast Field Army....Jianying, quickly bring the codebook of the secret telegram. At this time, Comrade Liu Hua sent a secret telegram, something must have happened..."Glancing at the telegram full of numbers in his hand, the chairman hurriedly ordered.

"Yes, Chair..."

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and under the expectant gaze of the chairman and others, the telegram of several hundred words, under the translation of Chief of Staff Ye Jianying, was displayed in front of everyone little by little....

"Alright, Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief... Mr. Liu, Political Commissar Luo, and Chief of Staff Zuo jointly sent a telegram. The Kwantung Army units in the three eastern provinces began to carry out large-scale military movements a week ago. According to the specific mobilization of the Kwantung Army's defense line, the three analyzed that the Kwantung Army was likely to be mobilizing sharp forces and preparing to break through. Then, join the southern battle sequence and launch an attack on the army...."Ye Jianying picked up the telegram he had just translated in his hand and reported simply...

"Jianying, you said that the Kwantung Army is mobilizing Jīng Rui troops and preparing to break through into the pass... Join the battle sequence of the Japanese Southern Garrison and attack the army... What do the little ghosts want to do, do they want to take this opportunity to eat nearly one million troops under the leadership of the National People's Government in one bite..."Vice Chairman Zhou asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.

And at this moment, the chairman and the commander-in-chief have already walked in front of the huge national map for the first time. After looking at it for a while, the chairman ordered Chief of Staff Ye Jianying behind him: "Jianying, immediately prepare a military map south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains." At the same time, the current deployment of the army and the Japanese army is clearly marked. ”

"Yes, Chairman......"

In less than five minutes, a map was slumped on the table. Looking at the military map in front of him, after a short period of contemplation, the chairman's brows furrowed even deeper. Then, he shook his head very helplessly and asked the commander-in-chief beside him.

"Boss, what do you think about this..."

“。 If Liu Hua's analysis of the three people is all correct. I can only say one word, I hope God will bless the nearly one million troops in the Jiangnan area..."

"You see, at present, an army of nearly one million, facing the attack of more than 300,000 imps, is just able to play a draw and hold the position. If you add the 300,000 Kwantung Army jīng Rui, I can guarantee that the whole battle situation will evolve into another Songhu rout... At that time, the main force will be annihilated by 600,000 Japanese troops in this area... The main force was completely annihilated, and the Japanese army could take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy Chongqing in one fell swoop, completely destroying the ruling institutions. At that time, the entire south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, half of China, will fall into the hands of Wang Jīng's puppet national affairs fǔ, that is, the hands of the little ghost..."

"I really didn't expect that the little ghost would give us this hand at this time..."The commander-in-chief's face immediately showed a solemn expression. Then, facing the chairman in front of him, who also looked contemplative, he asked rhetorically.

"Chairman, what do you think...."

"Boss, if Comrade Liu Hua's analysis is correct. Well, I think that the Japanese army's mobilization of the Kwantung Army to the south and the total annihilation of the main force of the army is only the first step in all their actions. With the Qinling Mountains south of the Huai River, half of China fell into the hands of imps. The Japanese army can mobilize at least 500,000 troops and, with the cooperation of the Japanese North China Front in North China, completely annihilate the troops of our Eighth Route Army in North China. After that, it gradually moved north, and then, with the cooperation of the remaining troops of the Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces, completely annihilated our Northeast Field Army. When the time comes, the whole of China will step under the iron hooves of the imps... And in the whole of China, there is no regular military force to resist the imps...," the chairman replied with a heavy face. "The little ghost's hand is really ruthless, it can be called a direct hit to our vital point...."

And at this moment, Vice Chairman Zhou also felt the seriousness of the matter from the words of the two people. After a short period of contemplation, he looked at the two partners in front of him and asked worriedly, "Chairman, commander-in-chief, then, what should we do?" Regardless of whether Comrade Liu Hua's analysis is correct or not, we should all take precautions and make preparations for the premises..."

In response to Vice Chairman Zhou's words, the Chairman nodded very approvingly. Then, he said, "Well, you're right, it's for sure. It's just that, judging from the current situation, even if we want to help, we can't help..."

Seeing Vice Chairman Zhou's puzzled gaze, the commander-in-chief opened his mouth and explained:

"Enlai, you also know that we now have a relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. If Liu Hua's analysis is completely true. All we can do is send troops to reinforce the troops in the south. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek was asked to put all the 300,000 jīng rui in the area of Su and Anhui on the front line to meet the possible attack of the imps. However, it is not now said whether Chiang Kai-shek will follow our advice, but about sending troops to reinforce us. Chiang Kai-shek is now desperate to wipe out all the troops of our party in the Qinling Mountains and Huai River, how can he let us send troops deep into his ruling area to threaten her dominance? ”

"But....can we just watch the little ghost carry out this plan and eventually occupy the whole of China?" Vice Chairman Zhou asked with an unwilling face.

"Enlai, don't worry, no matter what Chiang Kai-shek thinks of us, he will not agree to our request. For the sake of the life and death of the entire Chinese nation, we will absolutely not sit idly by... In this way, we will reconsider the secret telegram sent by Comrade Liu Hua, and Enlai will write it and send a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, who is far away in Chongqing, to inform him of the enemy situation. As for whether Chiang Kai-shek believes our analysis, it depends on Chiang Kai-shek himself. And that's all we can do...", the chairman commanded very decisively.

"As for us in China, I believe that the boss at this moment should already have a way to deal with it? , boss, you can explain to our Enlai comrade. As he spoke, the chairman had already set his eyes on the commander-in-chief in front of him. Then, he said with a mysterious face.

"Chairman, Enlai, my idea is: If Liu Hua's analysis is correct, we will immediately concentrate our superior forces and launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese North China Front and the remaining troops of the Kwantung Army. Destroy their living force as much as possible. After the two Japanese units completely lost their offensive capability, they left enough troops to carry out a long-term siege policy against the enemy. As for the remaining troops, including the main force of the Northeast Field Army, they all moved south and arranged defensive positions along the Qinling and Huai rivers to block the Japanese offensive...."

"Of course, in this process, if we can grasp a good time, we can send a Jīng Rui army south to Jiangnan. In the rear of the Japanese army in the Jiangnan area, cào their hometown, slowed down the pace of their offensive and developed the base area...... In this way, at least we can keep half of China. Then, after we have accumulated enough strength, we will launch a counteroffensive and reclaim the entire Jiangnan region..."Pointing to the operational map in front of him, the commander-in-chief replied with great certainty.

"I think so, then we'll settle it. Enlai, you immediately draw up a telegram and send it to Chiang Kai-shek in Chunking....As for us, we will wait and see what happens. As soon as the Kwantung Army begins to break through, we will carry out a counteroffensive ... Of course, in order to weaken the effective force of the Japanese army, the Northeast Field Army must carry out an unprecedented encirclement and interception of the breakthrough troops of the Kwantung Army..."The chairman decisively ordered......

Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing. With the beginning of the war in the Suzhou-Anhui region. Chiang Kai-shek, as the chairman of the National Committee, concentrated all his jīng forces on this war that was related to his dominance...

At this moment, his own sh servant walked in quickly. To himself, he whispered.

"Report to the chairman, ** Zhou Enlai sent you an urgent telegram, asking you to read it yourself...."

"Well, Zhou Enlai....did you agree to our request, in order to avoid too much loss to your New Fourth Army, you plan to let the New Fourth Army withdraw from the area of Suzhou and Anhui, and compromise with the party-state..."Chiang Kai-shek said with a suspicious face. However, at the first time, I took the telegram from the official and began to read it carefully....

A few minutes later, the message was read in all its hundreds of words. Chiang Kai-shek, because of the smooth fighting on the front line, the brows that had just been stretched out were immediately twisted into the word 'Sichuan'. Then, facing the sh servant in front of him, he ordered decisively. ,

"You immediately inform Minister He, Chief of Staff Bai, Director Dai to come to my office, hurry..."

"Yes, Chairman..."

In less than ten minutes, the three of them stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek out of breath. Looking at the three beloved generals with suspicious faces in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate and spoke directly.

"Everyone is here....this is an urgent telegram that Zhou Enlai just sent me, you should take a look at it first, and then each of you will express your own opinions...."As he spoke, Chiang Kai-shek had already handed the telegram in his hand to He Yingqin in front of him.

A few minutes later, under Chiang Kai-shek's expectant gaze, He Yingqin, who had finished reading the telegram, was the first to speak: "Chairman, I doubt the authenticity of the contents of this telegram....Now that the cooperation between the party-state and the party has completely broken down, could it be a deliberately released false news. Then, we were forced to reinforce the 300,000 jīng rui in the Suwan area and transfer them to the front line. In the end, give them the New Fourth Army troops in the area of Su and Anhui to reduce the pressure...."

Chiang Kai-shek did not make any response to He Yingqin's answer in front of him. Instead, he continued to ask Bai Chongxi, the chief of staff beside him: "Jiansheng, what do you think of this matter..."

"Chairman, as far as I know. Although, now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have changed from the original cooperative relationship to the current hostile relationship. However, I believe that with the xn personality of several people, they will definitely not joke with us about this kind of thing. So, I think, we have to be cautious about this. Otherwise, as the telegram said, our party-state will fall into a catastrophe...."In response to Chiang Kai-shek's rhetorical question, Bai Chongxi did not hesitate and replied directly.

"Jiansheng is right, in terms of national righteousness, there is absolutely nothing to doubt. I think when I founded the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhou Enlai and I were partners. With my understanding of Zhou Enlai, I would never joke with us about such a thing....Yunong, for the analysis of ** in the telegram, your Military Command Bureau, has you detected any news...."Chiang Kai-shek nodded very approvingly. Immediately, facing the intelligence head in front of him, Dai Li asked.

"Report to the chairman, for more than a week, the Kwantung Army units in the northeastern region have indeed begun to carry out large-scale transfers, as the contents of the telegram said. Based on the analysis of the lowly position, the lowly position believes that the truth of the content of the telegram is beyond doubt. It's just that for the analysis of **, because there is no conclusive evidence, I don't dare to affirm it..."

And as soon as Dai Li's words fell, Bai Chongxi followed closely and spoke.

"Chairman, I have something to say..."

Kai-shek nodded and said.

"I think that there is an 80 percent probability of the analysis in the telegram. As everyone knows, with the break between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, there will absolutely be no cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party militarily in the future War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. If at this time, the Japanese army Chōu transferred Jīng Rui's Kwantung Army south to the south of the Yangtze River, gathered more than 500,000 troops, and launched an attack on our front-line troops. I can say with certainty that the existing strength of our troops on the front line will absolutely not be able to stop the Japanese offensive...... Therefore, I think that there is an 80% chance of **'s analysis..."Bai Chongxi replied affirmatively.

"Niang Xipi... Enough....just turned his face with the little ghost, and came to us for trouble. Could it be that the party-state has really reached the point of being hopeless....Jiansheng, if the analysis is true, then, what kind of adjustments do you think I should make..."After a burst of cursing. Chiang Kai-shek once again set his sights on the chief of staff in front of him, who had the title of 'Little Zhuge ', hoping that the chief of staff in front of him could come up with a solution for himself.

"Commission, first of all, with the style of doing things, even if the Kwantung Army wants to break through, the Northeast Field Army in the hands of ** will weaken their vital force as much as possible, and at the same time, slow down their breakthrough speed. So, we have at least a month to deploy. “

"The second is to strengthen the strength of the front line. The more than a dozen main divisions that were resting in the rear were all strengthened into the front-line combat units. At the same time, he immediately ordered Minister Chen, who rushed to the area of Suzhou and Anhui, to lead the troops and rush to the front line as a reserve for the entire defending group...."

"Third, stop the action in the area of Suzhou and Anhui. Concentrate enough forces to deal with a possible Japanese attack ....

"Fourth, order the local armed forces and guerrillas in the Jiangnan area to do everything possible to destroy the Japanese army's logistics and transportation, highways....all valuable strategic targets, and win enough time for the deployment of our army..."Bai Chongxi analyzed the military map in front of him. ,

"The first, the second, the fourth I can promise. However, the third one, I absolutely cannot agree. According to the telegram just sent by the Suzhou-Anhui Theater, after a few days of offensive, the base area of the New Fourth Army in the Suzhou-Anhui region has shrunk by half, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. As long as our troops in the Suzhou-Anhui region can make persistent efforts, we will definitely be able to wipe out all the units of the New Fourth Army in the Suzhou-Anhui region within a month....Niang Xipi, Jiansheng, immediately order the General Staff to make a detailed battle plan in the shortest possible time in accordance with the three opinions you have just put forward...."After a short period of thought, Chiang Kai-shek resolutely ordered.

"Yes, the commission...."Seeing Chiang Kai-shek, no matter what time he was, he did not forget to suppress the Communist Party and maintain his dominant position. Bai Chongxi shook his head very helplessly, and then spoke.

"Yunong, your Military Command Bureau, you must pay close attention to the specific movements of the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in the Jiangnan area, and if you have any information, report it to me as soon as possible, is it clear?" Chiang Kai-shek continued to order.

"Yes, Chairman.," Dai replied affirmatively.

"Ying Qin, call ** back immediately in my name, thank them for the reminder. At the same time, he once again gave them an order to immediately push out the area around Suzhou and Anhui. At the same time, the Northeast Field Army is required to weaken the viable forces of the Kwantung Army's breakthrough troops as much as possible and slow down their breakthrough speed ...."

"Yes, Chairman...", although he was very puzzled by Chiang Kai-shek's order in front of him. After all, at present, the KMT and the CCP are in a state of split, and at this time, they will listen to the order. However, He Yingqin still did not hesitate and replied very decisively.
