Chapter 131: A Papyrus Peace Agreement

The battle in Jiangxi ended on 13 September, but Liu Zhi, who fled north to the Yangtze River, did not become safe.

After taking Hankou in Hanyang on September 6, the main force of the 40,000 Red Army besieging Yueyang had been freed up at this time, and arrived at Hankou on September 9, with a slight repair, land and water at the same time, and marched eastward with all their might, taking Huanggang on the 11th, occupying Qichun on the 12th, and on the 13th, the troops were already under the city of Huangmei, and directly put the muzzle of the gun on the chest of Liu Zhi's troops, who had finally jumped out of the Jiujiang trap. It can be regarded as Liu Zhi's quick withdrawal when he sees the opportunity, if he withdraws his troops a day or two later, even the last northern retreat channel will be blocked by the Red Army in the direction of Hanyang.

It's just that Liu Zhi, who fled from Jiujiang in a hurry, has more than 30,000 troops in his hands plus Huangmei's defenders, but because he fled in a hurry, the ammunition and heavy weapons were almost lost, and there were still 200,000 Red Army troops in the south looking north, where did Liu Zhi have the courage and heart to fight. Under the pressure of the Red Army on the northern front, more than 30,000 troops collapsed in a short battle, and more than 30,000 people ran together in unison, fleeing for nearly 200 kilometers, until they were picked up by Chen Cheng's troops near Anqing before they stopped.

Fortunately, the Red Army marched in a hurry a few days ago and went down to many cities, and its body was poor, and before the battle began, it did not have time to outflank Liu Zhi before it led the army to escape, and the planned encirclement and annihilation battle turned into a rout, and after pursuing dozens of kilometers, more than 10,000 guns were surrendered and picked up, but only more than 5,000 people were captured.

After Liu Zhi's troops were received by Chen Cheng, they counted the men and horses, and there were more than 10,000 deserters left from Jiujiang at this time, and more than 3,000 people returned to the building one after another a few days later, but more than half of the troops disappeared in this long-distance rout. Some of them went to the camps of the Red Army, and some of them fled to the countryside and became bandits. In fact, in order to understand these scourges, the Red Army had to spend a winter in this area to carry out "banditry".

At this point, the third stage of the autumn of the Red Army came to a perfect end. After this battle, when they opened the map, people were surprised to find that the territory controlled by the Red Army in addition to the three provinces of Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan also controlled half of Hubei

I got Dabie Mountain,. Over here. You can look north to the south of the river. Looking east into Anhui and Jiangsu, the core area of the Nanjing Nationalist Government was all exposed to his threat. And with Dabie Mountain in hand, Wuhan, an important industrial town in the south, has also become extremely safe, and it is half of Hubei's security barrier. After taking him, the meaning is extremely heavy.

After September 15. The Red Army stopped the full-scale offensive. Begin to consolidate, digest the gains of the previous half-month victory.

The war that took place in September 1934 brought about a drastic change in the shape of southern China. The most anxious were the British and Japanese.

After the Gannet incident, the British immediately protested against the Red Army, and at the same time urgently ordered the two shallow gunboats docked in Shanghai, the Tern and the Falcon, to go upriver to the Honghu area to demonstrate support.

After being shot on 5 September, the Gannet ran aground in the shallows of the Yangtze River, unable to move. It was only 5,000 meters away from the Red Army battery on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it was within the range of its artillery.

The Reds did not want to make a big deal out of it, and quickly contacted the Gannet by means of searchlight signals, warning it not to engage in any further hostile acts. A liaison ship was then dispatched to board the Gannet for negotiations.

Although the Gannet was hit by "only" four 107-mm shells, it was already a serious injury for a shallow water gunboat with a tonnage of only 310 tons. Fifteen of the sailors and British soldiers on board were killed and 40 wounded in the shelling, and less than 30 of the ship's crew were unharmed.

After the two sides made contact, the acting captain of the Gannet agreed to the Red Army's proposal of a "humanitarian" proposal to transfer the wounded on board to the shore for treatment, but the crew refused to surrender to the Red Army. However, the British gave in after two shells were fired at the Gannet's position from the battery on the south bank for deterrent fire.

At twelve o'clock that night, the Red Army soldiers boarded the Gannet and captured the British river gunboat on the Yangtze River, but for reasons not to make a big deal about the incident, the Red Army's official statement on the incident was a seizure rather than a prisoner, which could be regarded as the last bit of face for the British Empire, which was swollen in the face.

On September 6, Hanyang Hankou was liberated by the Red Army, and the Red Army suddenly took out the British nest in Hankou, Hanyang. The two major events overlapped, and the whole of Britain was in an uproar. Some radical British parliamentarians clamored in Parliament for a "declaration of war" against China's "red forces" and clamored for the transfer of the Far East Fleet to give the Chinese red regime a little color. But MacDonald, the leader of the Labour Party at this time, was quite sane. The Gannet was "seized," and a large number of British expatriates in Hanyang and Hankou were captured by the Red Army, an invisible hostage in the hands of the Red Army.

On September 7, Hitler (Hannah), who was anti-communist, imprisoned and massacred the communists in Germany, and played the role of "the first person to oppose the communists", stood with Mike. Prime Minister Downer sent out a private contact, saying that he could "mediate".

In the past two years, the business between Germany and the Soviet zone has become bigger and bigger, and a large number of weapons have been exported in exchange for the precious minerals of the Soviet zone.

"You say I sold imperialist bullets to socialism, what is that? I myself am resolutely against communism, but I cannot resist communist money. ”

This self-justifying remark of Francis is more often considered by Western politicians to be more appropriate for Hitler (Hannah). The fact that the German fascists were secretly in the arms business with the Bolsheviks in China is not news in the world. Hannah and Mustache sold a lot of weapons to the Red Army, but they were only light weapons such as rifles and other old-fashioned World War I, and in comparison, he sold several times more arms to the Nationalist Government in Nanjing. In addition, a large number of instructors were also sent to help the Nanjing Nationalist Government train soldiers, which is also obvious to all. In fact, the Western countries did not regard the mustache as a "communist" element, but regarded him as a two-faced opportunist and realist, because in this matter, Britain, the United States, France, and Italy were not too clean, and they were doing as much business as the Soviet Union in private.

It is not that no one has ever used this to attack Hitler, who has been replaced by Hannah. However, every time he was questioned by a reporter or a foreign politician picked up the matter and attacked him, Hannah or Goebbels would endorse the information that various countries were secretly doing secret business with the Soviet Union, and in turn accuse the other party of violating the "Treaty of London". After doing this two or three times, the governments of Britain, the United States, and France soon stopped squeaking.

After the First World War, Britain suffered a great loss of national strength, and it was impossible for Britain to personally go to China to interfere with the Red Revolution like the Boer War. Mike. Donner's high-profile appearance in parliament is just to deal with the heckling parliamentarians and the media, and Hannah offers to help him mediate. It also happened to give him a step down the stage.

The crew aboard the Gannet. The prisoners and the wounded were transferred to Hanyang on 7 September, where the wounded were admitted to the British Mission Hospital in Hanyang, while the uninjured were temporarily detained. The wounded stranded captured Gannet, after being plugged and pumped up. It was also driven to Hanyang.

September 10th. Two more shallow gunboats of the British on the Yangtze River. The Tern and Falcon sailed to Hankow, Hanyang, where they met the captured crew, the wounded, and the inhabitants of the foreigners' quarter. At the same time as it. Secret negotiations between the British and the Red Army were also taking place in private.

The arrogant British once repeated the same trick as they did in the "Wanxian Massacre", forcibly seizing the Gannet and then rushing out of Hanyang to escape. But after seeing the four 107-mm cannons placed on Turtle Mountain, as well as the 76-mm field cannons arranged in a circle around the port, this idea was suddenly extinguished.

On 8 September, with the tacit connivance of the British, the Japanese Navy in Taiwan dispatched warships to shell the port of Dongshan and at the same time blockade this Red Army's external sea line of communication. At the same time, Taiwan's garrison was also ready to move and entered the four coastal cities of Fujian in the name of armed protection of overseas Chinese. And in Japan, the slogan "help China eradicate the red plague" is also loud, but fools know what this is actually for.

At the same time, Britain, the United States, and France also issued statements expressing concern about the expansion of China's red forces, and at the same time condemning the immoral behavior of Germany and the Soviet Union in doing military business.

At this time, the Nanjing Nationalist Government had been frightened by the Red Army's offensive in the previous nine days, the Red Army's tentacles had reached into Hubei, the important Hubei town of Wuhan had fallen, and Jiangxi's more than 100,000 troops were now in danger of being completely annihilated. Many people in the Nanjing Nationalist Government have already begun to fight whether they should not follow the example of their predecessor Wu Sangui and lead the Japanese army into Fujian to "suppress bandits."

Wang Jingwei, vice president of Wannian, jumped out again at this time, and the Hu Hanmin faction in the United Artillery Party blamed Song Ziwen for the fiasco of suppressing bandits, and the Japanese also secretly exerted pressure behind their backs. wanted to force Song Ziwen to send an "invitation to borrow teachers to help suppress" Japan.

After the Tohoku Incident in 1931, the Japanese swallowed Tohoku in one gulp, and although they had not yet digested it, their appetite became bigger and bigger. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are China's Jinghua region, and the Japanese have long coveted it. It's just that the British, who have always regarded this place as their own land, would have allowed the Japanese to intervene at this time, and they were only relieved in Fujian.

However, Fujian is the territory of the Red Army, there are many mountains here, known as eight mountains, one water and one field, most of the places are poor, where can compare with the prosperity of the plain areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the Japanese have been trying by all means to induce the Nanjing Nationalist Government to issue an invitation to him to "borrow teachers to help suppress" him, so as to "correct the name" of his invasion of China. On the surface, they remain neutral, but secretly they are encouraging Japan to send troops to China -- in the history of the War of Resistance, many Chinese have always had a misunderstanding, mistakenly believing that before the Pearl Harbor incident in December 1941, the United States had been secretly helping and supporting China's War of Resistance, but in fact, this was the biggest lie about World War II.

If we pay close attention to the economic exchanges between the United States and Germany and Japan before World War II, as well as some small actions in private, it is easy to conclude that the United States actually paid for the "hiring" of these two countries to launch World War II.

Before World War II, the Americans helped Germany rearmament for the time being, and let's take the War of Resistance as an example. The drawings of the artillery party Changjiang Jiangyin to be contested, and the drawings of the Laifu defense line, were not provided by Japanese spies, but secretly sold to the Japanese by the Americans. Until 1940, the Americans continued to sell scrap steel, rubber, and oil to the Japanese, and without the material support of the Americans, the Japanese could not maintain their war aircraft by plundering in China alone. The Japanese fighter was equipped with an American-designed engine. American gasoline, steel shells and bullets provided by the United States, and the money that killed the Chinese and robbed them went to the United States to buy resources.

The main reason why the Americans indulged Japan so much was that in this era, China, especially the most elite Chang, middle and lower reaches, was mainly controlled by the British. The Americans wanted to borrow the hands of the Japanese to smash the British colonial system in China. The oil sanctions against Japan that began in 1941 were just the same as what they later did to the Germans, that Japan had exhausted its use value, and it was time to kill them and make Uncle Sam a good man.

With the covert connivance of the Americans. The Japanese are pushing harder and tighter. The situation on the Taiwan side is also becoming increasingly tense.

For a time, the wind was in the wind in Nanjing, and the demons were dancing. In this process, although a small number of patriots in the Nanjing Nationalist Government saw the insidiousness behind this, their voices were not mainstream at all at this time.

In the case of a growing threat from the Red Army. The Nanjing Nationalist Government was about to give in. The Soviet Union, which had been "silent" before, "spoke" at this time.

September 13. On the very day that the remnants of Jiujiang were annihilated by the Red Army, Moscow invented and announced that the Soviet Red Army would conduct a large-scale military exercise at Nomenkan on September 15. At the same time, Moscow openly announced to the whole world. The Anti-Japanese Union and the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, which are active in the northeast, can retreat to the Soviet Union at any time to recuperate in the event of a bad war, and the Red Army in the Far East must take care of them.

This was tantamount to openly threatening and provoking Japan, and there is no doubt that the Soviet Union was issuing a warning to Japan not to interfere with the Chinese revolution.

Japan was about to stretch out its hand to southern China again, vainly hoping to replicate the "Manchurian miracle" again, and was shocked. At this time, although Japan was crazy, it was still somewhat sensible. Although they swallowed the fat in the northeast, they had just swallowed it, and it was far from digesting, and if the Soviet Union intervened at this moment, it was almost inevitable that they would be forced to spit it out.

The actions of the USSR, also the results of the Kiel Conference. Stalin, anxious to make amends for his previous mistakes, was clearly well aware of the importance of the Soviet Union's invention of attitudes and positions at this time.

The Soviets' statement suddenly made the Japanese who were ready to move honest. Soon after, the warships that had sailed to the coast of Fujian withdrew to the mainland.

At this time, the Jiangxi Red Army also issued a request for "peace talks" to the Nanjing Nationalist Government, and in order to enable Chairman Soong, who was in danger, to sit firmly in his position, the Red Army declared that it would only negotiate with the Nanjing Government under the leadership of Soong Ziwen.

In the past half month of war, the territory of the Red Army has almost doubled, and now it is time to "digest" again. At this time, China's "people from all walks of life" also "adapted" to the opportunity and issued a "call for peace" to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so the two families once again sat down at the negotiating table and engaged in hypocritical negotiations.

One of the results of the negotiations was that Song Ziwen, who had suffered a heavy loss of troops, finally did not want to hold the four pieces of "stinky meat" in Fujian anymore, and threw them to the Red Army as a bargaining chip in the negotiations, and finally transferred back the fourth division that was trapped in Fujian and was raised by stink.

In addition to this, the Nanjing Nationalist government was also forced to cede Jingzhou, another important town in Hubei. After the peace talks, in exchange, the Red Army released a group of artillery soldiers who had been captured in the previous war, but the officers remained in custody.

The Red Army was not afraid that these soldiers who had been sent back would rejoin the Artillery Party Army and come back to the Red Army. After seeing the Red Army's policy of taking prisoners and listening to the Red Army's agrarian policy and revolutionary propaganda, many of these artillery soldiers who had been captured once took the initiative to join the Red Army, and all of them were absorbed by the Red Army. Those who don't want to join are put back, even if they return to the artillery army, these people have become "oily", and the next time they fight again, they will only surrender faster. If the Nanjing Nationalist Government did not understand this and really recalled these people back to the army, it would only backfire and reduce the combat effectiveness of its own army. (There are countless examples of this statement in the PLA war.) )

After October 1934, the Red Army not only greatly expanded its territory in this autumn offensive, but also captured several strategically important points around the base area.

The Fujian side did not seem to have fought a major battle, but the Fujian Red Army also extended its influence to southern Zhejiang in September, and encircled a large base area in the area of Yandang Mountain. In the direction of Anhui, the Red Army in the south seized the Yellow Mountain, and in the northwest direction, it entered the Dabie Mountain, a strategic point in the Central Plains, and dug a large piece in the center of the territory of the five provinces of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing.

After this war, the Nanjing Nationalist Government held the territory of five provinces. Except for Jiangsu, which was still temporarily intact, the remaining four provinces were more or less gnawed off by the Red Red Army. Hubei Province has not only lost its provincial capital, Wuhan, but the entire strategic situation has deteriorated across the board. It's only a matter of time before it's lost completely.

At this time, the strategic shape of the Nanjing government was extremely bad, and although the territory under its control was still not small, it was full of crises everywhere. In addition to the loss of territory, the greater loss was that in the past two years, those German armourers who had been trained by smashing pots and selling iron and carrying foreign debts had lost most of them in the half-month war, and although the Red Army had released many people after the war, the officers and weapons that had been lost could not be recovered.

After this battle, the strategic gap between the Red and White armies became even more obvious. If it weren't for the fact that the Red Army had been forced into a hurry by the British. It will pull the Japanese down to interfere. In addition, there was a shortage of cadres in the base areas, and the newly expanded base areas had not yet been consolidated, so many factors took the initiative to call for armistice and peace talks.

According to the plan, I waited until next year. Spring is the season of flowers. It was the Red Army that launched the spring offensive. Expel the people of Nanjing from Nanjing.

On the other hand, the Chinese and British sides negotiated secretly and finally in early October. The British took back the Gannet, which had been "seized" for almost a month, and the Red Army released all the captured crew and soldiers.

When the British retrieved the warship, they found that all the ammunition on the Gannet was missing, including the shells of the 3 British rain cannons, which could be used with the cannon that Lin Haihai had salvaged.

When the repaired Gannet, along with the Tern and the Falcon, left Hanyang and headed down the river, a reporter from The Times lamented on the front page: "This is the last time a British Empire warship sails into the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River." ”

Unfortunately, he did.

For the rest of 1934, the Red Army was busy militarily reorganizing its troops and training troops, and economically it was busy carrying out land reform in the rural areas of various localities.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government, on the one hand, intensified military training, and on the other hand, desperately imported arms from abroad. It was hoped that more troops would be trained in this short period of peace in order to fight the Red Army again in the future. In order to redeem the defeat, Song Ziwen almost found He Yingqin in Xiaye in the way of pleading guilty, and asked him to go out of the mountain to retake charge of the Ministry of National Defense, and He Yingqin agreed after thinking about it again.

The small ninety-nine of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, the top of the Red Army was like a candle, but they watched Song Ziwen's measures like watching a monkey performance.

They never believed that Chairman Song would have a chance to make a comeback.

The Red Army kept him from attacking immediately in order to help occupy an important position. With Song Ziwen helping to train troops and provide weapons, how could the Red Army of such a friendly transport brigade easily want to drive him down. In the September Campaign, the Red Army's equipment was once again greatly improved, and in the two months from 1932 to 1934, the Red Army received supplies from the Nanjing Nationalist Government far exceeded the benefits of Lin Han's aid, and the name of Chang Kaishen, the captain of another space-time transportation brigade, unfortunately fell to Song Ziwen in this plane.

In 1934, there were several major events in the world.

On the German side, the 1934 World Football Championship was held in Italy. Historically, this World Cup was originally won by Italy, but this time it was won by the Germans, because the German football team added a legendary goalkeeper - Zoff. Klinsmann.

The goalkeeper who came out of nowhere guarded the German goal at the World Cup, blocked left and right, and blocked countless seemingly must-go shots, and he only conceded two goals in the first game of Germany's 5-2 win over Belgium during the entire World Cup. He didn't concede a goal against Germany for the rest of the game, and finally snatched the Football World Cup title from the Italians on their doorstep.

This one has millet hair, a high nose, and is named Zoff. Klinsmann's handsome, inhuman goalkeeper, of course, was played by Lin Han in order to brush up on the power of faith, and the image he used was exactly his "foreign face" created by the fantasies of Caucasian believers.

After bullying children on the field again, he made a name for himself again in another capacity at the World Cup.

Today's Lin Han has collected too much faith power from his body to use up. So he infused Hannah with the power of faith he had gathered in the arena.

Hannah was at a critical juncture in her build-up to the Deutsche Deutschland, and was in dire need of faith. After absorbing the power of faith infused by Lin Han, Hannah successfully condensed the core on the bow image of the "Deyi", and gained the freedom to break away and change the hull.

The only problem is that when the core is condensed, Hannah unexpectedly discovers that she is pregnant (to be continued......
