Chapter 312: The Art of Vertical and Horizontal
"What!" Political Commissar Cheng was taken aback, the smile on his face instantly converged, and he said in surprise: "The 53rd Army went north because it was ordered by the chairman?" Didn't they ask for it themselves? β
Zheng Weiguo shook his head and repeated Chief of Staff Zhao's words.
Political Commissar Cheng muttered: "This is strange! As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the temperament is difficult to change, how can Chang Kaishen be so kind? Even if it is dedicated to the country, why not transfer the 53rd Army to the south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan? No, I see there's an article here. β
Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Hehe, to be honest, I didn't understand it. β
Political Commissar Cheng said vigilantly: "It seems that Chang Kaishen is playing a big game of chess!" β
Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, that's good!" β

Wuchang Luojia Mountain Mid-Mountain Residence, the official residence of the chairman of the committee. Dai Li, deputy director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, was sitting upright in the living room, reporting to Chang Kaishen. Song Xiaomei didn't seem interested in these things, so she asked Wu's mother to come to entertain her, and she went to the airport to comfort the triumphant Air Force pilot.
Chang Kaishen flipped through the documents in his hand, the anger on his face became more and more intense, and it gradually became as black as Bao Gong. Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, lifted all the documents on the low table to the ground, looked hideous, and shouted hysterically: "Niang Xipi! This is repaid, this is repaid, the Japanese did not drive away, the GC Party is going to destroy us first...... The country will not be a country, the country will not be a country! β
One of the documents happened to float in front of Dai Li's feet, and the title was written in large scarlet letters: "Summary of the infiltration of all units of the North China National Army by the G Party." The numbers of many troops are listed below. At the forefront was the 31st Army (that is, the original Yang Huchen 17th Route Army), and Zheng Huzi's 97th Army was also impressively listed.
Ironically, the "red trouble" of the 97th Army in this report was not the most serious, and it did not even rank in the top three. For example, Sun Dianying's Hebei guerrilla detachment was provided with food and clothing with the help of the Eighth Route Army, and the deputy commander-in-chief Xing Zhaotang was a secret party member. And Shi Yousan's 69th Army also has a large number of GC party members active, including even bigwigs like Bao Zhi Deng Gong.
Dai Li squatted down and picked up the documents one by one, stacked them one by one, put them on the table again, and persuaded: "Principal, please calm your anger, the state affairs are bumpy, you must take care of your health!" β
Chang Kaishen's anger calmed down slightly. Reassured: "The rain is thick. You've done a great job. The party-state will not forget you drip! β
Dai Li hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it's the student's duty to share the principal's worries." β
Chang Kaishen nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the name on the document and said, "Do you have a way to solve this person?" β
Dai Li looked at it and saw that it was Sun Weiru, the commander of the 31st Army Corps. Somewhat nervously said, "Headmaster." It's not hard to get rid of. I'm just afraid that the political impact will not be good. It will damage the majesty of the principal! β
Chang Kaishen sighed and said continuously: "I am Zhilu Daodi, I am Zhilu Daodi!" Never mind. This person is not moving for the time being. β
Yang Huchen was forced to "go abroad to study", Feng Qinzai defected to the central government, and Sun Weiru became the only leader of the 17th Route Army. If he has any strengths and weaknesses, it is very likely to lead to a mutiny in the 17th Route Army, and Lieutenant General Guan will no longer be owned by the state. Moreover, the warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Jin, and Gui are sad that the rabbits and foxes are dead, and maybe something will happen. Therefore, although Chang Kaishen had murderous intentions, he never dared to do it after weighing it again and again.
Chang put his eyes on the 97th Army again, and said with a gloomy face: "Does this Zheng beard also have anything to do with the G Party?" β
Dai Lian nodded and said, "Yes, Headmaster!" Zheng Weiguo had accompanied Wei Lihuang to Yan'an, and the ministry was also extremely close to the Eighth Route Army. According to our secret investigation, there are many people in the Eighth Route Army who serve in the 97th Army, and their status is very ordinary. β
Chang Kaishen scolded angrily: "Niang Xipi! The GC Party is really pervasive. Do you have a G Party in your military command? β
Dai Li was a little embarrassed, blushing and said: "Students don't dare to speak up, but at least our military command is the purest organization of the national army. β
Chang Kaishen sulked for a while and then picked up a document with the title "Investigation Report on the Recent Situation of the Northeast Army", and sneered: "What do these Beiyang remnants want to make trouble!" Do you want to rescue my brother Zhang Hanqing, or do you want to cooperate with the Japanese to return to my hometown in Northeast China? As he spoke, he picked up the glass and took a sip, his eyes full of contempt. He looked down on the Northeast Army very much, so he dared to suppress it unscrupulously.
Dai Li hurriedly said: "Neither! Headmaster, they are secretly colluding and want to fight back to the Northeast. β
Ahem, ahem! Chang Kaishen was choked and coughed repeatedly. Dai Li hurriedly walked over to beat his back for him, and said with concern: "Headmaster, you are fine!" β
Chang Kaishen gasped for a while and said, "Well, I'm fine!" Then he suddenly laughed and said, "What did you just say?" The Northeast Army wants to fight back to the Northeast? I didn't expect you to tell jokes too, halu ha......"
Seeing that the old man's mood was improving, Dai Li hurriedly explained: "Headmaster, although this move of the Northeast Army is a joke, they seem to be serious. According to the students' survey, there is a turbulent undercurrent among the various armies of the Northeast Army, and there will be major moves in the near future. β
Chang Kaishen snorted and said, "Childish! The country is about to perish, and you still want to fight back to the Northeast? The Japanese are not so good at dripping! β
Dai Lisa smiled and said, "The principal's instruction is right! β
Chang Kaishen said as he flipped through the documents, and suddenly said in surprise: "The Northeast Army wants to go to North China? Want to gather under the banner of Zheng Huzi? How is this possible! He doesn't have any foundation other than being able to fight. Who will obey him between the young Zhuang faction and the patriarchal faction? Where did this information come from, ridiculous, simply ridiculous! β
Dai Li hurriedly said, "No, principal! There is no doubt about the authenticity of this information, and we have confirmed it through various channels. In fact, in the past six months, many officers and men from the Northeast or the former Northeast Army have spontaneously rushed to serve under Zheng Weiguo's account. This is also the reason why he was able to start from a security regiment and quickly develop into an army. β
Chang Kaishen's face gradually became solemn, and he even looked a little anxious, saying, "There is such a miracle! Yu Nong, do you think this thing is good or bad? β
Dai Lian thought for a moment and said, "Students think that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. And the pros outweigh the cons! First of all, there are drawbacks, the Northeast Army originally showed signs of integrating into the national army, so it will inevitably return to the first-class warlords, which will damage the country's majesty and the unity of the military and the government. β
Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "Well, what you said is extremely true. The rain is thick, you continue. β
Dai Lisa replied respectfully, "Yes, Headmaster." Students talk about the advantages of this. First, if the Northeast Army can fight northward, whether it can succeed is not said for the time being, but at least it can involve the Japanese army. Reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield. Second. The GC Party's strength in North China is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a big trend. If the Northeast Army can go to North China, one mountain will not accommodate two tigers, and there will be disputes. When the time comes, the government will mediate. will be invincible. β
Chang Kaishen nodded approvingly. He praised: "Shibei three days." When impressive. The rain is thick, your knowledge has gone to the next level, congratulations! β
Dai Li hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's all up to the principal to cultivate!" β
Chang Kaishen said: "Cultivation is just a guide. Whether or not you can succeed is still a personal effort. After some encouragement, he said, "Yu Nong, you go back first and step up the collection of information." Not only must we keep an eye on the GC Party and the warlords of all stripes, but the Japanese will not be able to relax as well. β
Dai Li nodded and said, "Yes, Headmaster." Then the student took his leave. β
After Dai Li left, Chang Kaishen reached out and pressed the electric bell on the wall. Lin Wei, the director of the chamberlain, hurriedly came and asked, "Headmaster, what are your orders?" β
Chang Kaishen said: "Immediately inform the members of the Central Military Commission that a meeting will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Wuchang Parade Ground. β
Lin Wei suggested: "Principal, the afternoon machine is still rampant, and safety is difficult to guarantee, so why don't you change it to dusk?" β
Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "Okay, then change it to six o'clock." Inform the Han committee member that he must be present. β
Lin Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, principal! β
At six o'clock that night, the sunset burned red in the west. The bigwigs of the military committee rushed to the meeting place in small cars, and the first regiment of the military police had already strengthened its vigilance in the vicinity.
After entering the venue, Lin Wei first distributed the prepared materials to everyone. These materials are actually the information that Dai Li has gathered. Of course, Chang Kaishen has other information channels and does not rely entirely on Dai Li's military command.
Chen Cheng, Minister of Military Affairs, asked while flipping through it casually: "Weiwen, what is the topic of this meeting?" Are there any new moves from the Japanese? β
Lin Wei explained: "It's not Japanese, it's our internal problem. β
Chen Cheng found that most of the information was related to the GC Party, frowned and said, "The old man wants to deal with the GC Party again?" I'm afraid it's not appropriate to purge the CCP now! β
He Yingqin, who was the chief of staff of the Military Commission at the time, was Chen Cheng's political enemy, and deliberately raised his pole with him, sneering: "Dare to ask Minister Chen when he thinks he should wait until the Communist Party is cleared?" β
Chen Cheng turned his head angrily, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Lin Wei hurriedly persuaded: "Why do you two have to fight for will, besides, today's meeting does not involve the matter of purging the Communist Party. β
He Yingqin asked curiously, "Oh? So what are you doing with these G-Party infiltration materials? What is the purpose? β
At this time, the guard at the door suddenly stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "The chairman has arrived!" β
When the officers in the room heard this, they hurriedly stood up.
Chang Kaishen walked straight to the main seat and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one topic for you today, that is, how to prevent the Communist Party, limit the Communist Party, integrate the Communist Party, and melt the GC Party with the Three People's Principles!" β
Historically, the Nationalist Government first put forward the policy of "dissolving the Communist Party, preventing the Communist Party, limiting the Communist Party, and opposing the Communist Party" until the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang held in Chongqing on January 21, 1939. Obviously, Zheng Weiguo's crossing led to the early emergence of this policy. This is a product of the butterfly effect and historical inertia.
After some heated discussions, the Military Commission decided to let Sun Weiru's 31st Army Corps stationed in Guanzhong leave Shaanxi and cross to the front line of resistance against Japan in southwest Shanxi, with the task of defending the Yellow River at Zhongtiao Mountain. Chang Kaishen strictly ordered Sun Weiru not to retreat across the Yellow River under any circumstances, and he must defend desperately.
In order to combat Chang Kaishen's image, the Japanese deliberately made a cartoon, which is quite interesting. This cartoon depicts the troops holding Nakajo Mountain wearing shabby clothes, carrying broken guns on their shoulders, and the word "miscellaneous" on their bodies. In front of them were the Japanese troops, and behind them were the well-dressed and well-equipped Chiang descendants, holding bayonets and poking at the backs of the "miscellaneous cards".
Although this cartoon is a propaganda poster of the Japanese army, its purpose is to provoke the relationship between the Central Army and the miscellaneous cards, but it vividly portrays the dark psychology of Chang Kaishenru who tried to eliminate the 17th Route Army with the help of the Japanese army.
Chang Kaishen was greatly annoyed when he saw this cartoon, and in order to appease Sun Weiru, he ordered the 31st Army to be upgraded to the Fourth Group Army, and Sun Weiru was promoted to the commander of the Group Army.
In addition to the 31st Army Corps, the Military Commission also stepped up its efforts to co-opt various miscellaneous factions in North China, such as the aforementioned Sun Dianying's unit, which was originally a guerrilla force. This time, it was specially given the number of the provisional Fifth Army, and soon after it was changed to the new Fifth Army and became a regular army.
The 69th Army, another army that had close ties with China and G, also gained a lot of benefits. Army Commander Shi You jumped two levels three times and was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army. Chang Kaishen also said that "the future of North China will depend on Brother Han Zhang", which means that North China will be entrusted to Shi Yousan.
Chen Cheng threw himself to the ground in admiration and said excitedly: "The committee is really a great talent, and just an understatement will eliminate the united front work of the G Party into invisibility." He asked curiously: "The various departments in North China are only in terms of combat strength, and the 97th Army that first recommended Zheng Huzi, I don't know what the clever plan is?"
