The third part of the bloody fire resistance, Chapter 9 of the rushing flow, the first part of the bow pulling (seventh)

Deng Yanda and Li Jishen exchanged glances and nodded almost at the same time. Zhou Enlai asked in a deep voice: "Why? Our two parties have already agreed to help and support each other and act together."

"In fact, we just received the report. If you don't come, Ren Gong and I will visit Hongyan." Deng Yanda said calmly that he adopted Zhuang Jihua's suggestion to leave the Fifth War Zone and successfully led Chiang Kai-shek's attention from the Fifth War Zone to Chongqing. At the same time, he also discovered another benefit. He could better develop united front work in Chongqing and coordinate the actions of the whole party.

Deng Yanda stood up, took out two telegrams from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai came over and saw that it was Chen Mingshu. These two telegrams explained in detail the origin of the Shangqiu dispute.

After the Japanese army retreated, the puppet army stationed in Shangqiu area was Zhang Lanfeng's army of the first peaceful rescue army. Zhang Lanfeng was the former subordinate of Feng Yuxiang and the rising star of the Northwest Army. In order to train him, Feng Yuxiang sent him to study in Japan and learn artillery. In the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army collapsed, and he immediately lost his military position. Then he ran around and defected to Chiang Kai-shek, and later returned to Feng Yuxiang.

After the war of resistance, he first served as a senior officer in the 29th Army. He returned to his hometown in Henan, Tuocheng, organized Henan anti-Japanese guerrillas to fight north of the Yellow River. After Wuhan fell, he surrendered to the Japanese army and was appointed as the commander of the Communist Suppression Army in East Henan. He recruited a large number of bandits and the collapsed Kuomintang troops in the 15th War Zone, with a total force of 20,000. After Wang Jingwei formed a pseudo-government, he surrendered to Wang Jingwei and his troops were reorganized into the First Army for Peaceful Rescue. Last year, he took the opportunity to contain victims and bandits and expanded the troops to 80,000.

On the other hand, in addition to the GCD troops behind enemy lines, Zhuang Jihua began to deploy guerrillas behind enemy lines when he retreated from Xuzhou. The border between Henan and Shandong was a key point, and the Shangqiu area had undergone initial social reforms, so even after the Kuomintang army retreated, the local people were still supporting the Kuomintang guerrillas.

However, there are two parts of the Kuomintang guerrillas in this area. One is a unit organized secretly by the Third Party, and the other is an anti-Japanese guerrillas in southern Henan, which are located in southern Henan. This is a unit that was assigned to the war zone after the establishment of the Five War Zone.

In addition, it is the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area of ​​GCD. This base area was founded by the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The commander was Yang Dzhi, the strong general of the Eighth Route Army. However, the main area of ​​the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area is north of the Yellow River, at the junction of Hebei-Shandong-Henan provinces. After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army encircled and suppressed various anti-Japanese base areas in North China, and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area was no exception and suffered major setbacks.

In addition, Xiao Hua and Yang Yong of the Eighth Route Army established the anti-Japanese base in western Shandong, with a range of roughly from Dexian to Yanzhou, Jining to Heze. After the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached a reconciliation, the entire New Fourth Army went north, Ye T led the New Fourth Army headquarters into the central Hebei-Shandong-Henan base, Tan Zlin led a unit of the New Fourth Army to enter the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base, Chen Yu-Yi led the first detachment of the New Fourth Army into Shandong to reinforce Luo Rhuan in Shandong.

Feeling the threat from the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, after the end of the Wuhan Battle, the Japanese army transferred their main force back to North China. In North China, Matsui Ishione took office as commander of the Second Army. First, he started from Jiaodong, and then in western Shandong, and finally concentrated his troops to siege Yimeng Mountain.

Under pressure from the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army in western Shandong moved towards Hebei, Shandong and Henan, merged with Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and marched south of the Yellow River and on both sides of Longhai Road, and opened up new bases in the areas of Minquan, Cao County, and Shangqiu.

"….. Pan Bohao, the 18th Division of the First Army of the Pseudo-Shangqiu Guardian Army, has agreed to Xie Zixing's unit to the third detachment of the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas in East Henan, anyway, before our army arrived, the Eighth Route Army had accused two regiments to attack Shangqiu. Pan Bohao asked our army for help, Xie Zixing entered Shangqiu, but at this moment the Eighth Route Army had already rushed into Shangqiu...."

Zhou En came to visit the telegram and let out a gentle breath. The situation was clearer. The Japanese army quickly contracted, which caught the puppet army off guard. The Kuomintang and the GCD were both attacking fiercely. The morale of the puppet army collapsed completely and they all sought their own way out, either to surrender to the Kuomintang or to the GCD.

Shangqiu is a major road in the Longhai Line and an important town in eastern Henan, so naturally both sides have to compete for each other, so both sides do not give in to each other, Xie Zixing could not negotiate with the Eighth Route Army, and the two troops exchanged fire in Shangqiu. Xie Zixing's troops had few people, and although Pan Bohao's puppet army was a division, there were actually only more than 5,000 people, and the morale of the army was low, and it could not stop the Eighth Route Army's attack.

Xie Zixing was forced to withdraw from Shangqiu and asked for help from the First War Zone. After receiving the telegram, Tang Enbo sent Gao Shuxun to reinforce, and on the other hand, he ordered the 48th Army in southern Henan to quickly reinforce Shangqiu.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army made a mistake in judgment and believed that the Kuomintang troops who withdrew from Shangqiu had suffered a heavy blow, which was not worth worrying. The subsequent troops did not immediately reinforce Shangqiu, but instead divided their troops to attack civil rights and other places.

The Forty-eighth Army took seven days to arrive in Shangqiu, and the New Eighth Army also took the same time to cross the Pinghan Line. The two armies launched a fierce attack, one in the south and one in the west. The Eighth Route Army was caught off guard and outnumbered, and gave up many places that they had obtained.

Deng Yanda sighed heavily, stood up and said slowly: "Come on, our agreement is a secret agreement. The people below don't know the details. Although we said hello, they also have their difficulties. I have telegrammed Xie Zixing and Gao Shuxun to stop the attack. We can hand over Suiyang, Sui County, Tongxu and Qi County to you."

Zhou Enlai was shocked and looked up at him in surprise: "Tongxu Qi County? Gao Shuxun is also yours?"

"Yes, I have contacted us a long time ago. This time he attacked you, and he acted without permission," Deng Yanda did not hide it. He nodded and admitted: "He was fooled by Chiang Kai-shek. His life in the First War Zone was very difficult. He did not want to be a traitor. He was rejected by Wei Lihuang and Tang Enbo and others. The troops were short of both pay and bombs. Chiang Kai-shek promised to use Sui County, Tongxu and Qi County as his defense zone."

"In order to prevent another accident, Comrade Xiao Zhenying will go to the Fifth War Zone soon and serve as the senior senator of the Fifth War Zone. In fact, we are the person in charge of North China." Li Jishen added.

Zhou Enlai was surprised again. You should know that Xiao Zhenying is not an ordinary person. He is from the Northeast, but he joined the Northwest Army and has a very high prestige among the Northwest Army. The Five Tigers and Thirteen Taibao in the Northwest Army have a very good relationship with him. He is the actual creator of the 29th Army. If he is willing, it will not be Song Zheyuan's turn to serve as the commander of the 29th Army.

But strangely, his relationship with Feng Yuxiang was incompatible with the situation. The two initially became enemies in the 27th year of the party. Feng Yuxiang arrested more than 3,000 young people in Xi'an to be killed. At that time, Xiao Zhenying was the director of the Military Law Department, so he released these people on insufficient evidence. Feng Yuxiang became furious when he learned about it and planned to shoot him for violating military orders and Tongsu. Fortunately, he was jointly protected by the generals of the Northwest Army.

However, the two completely broke up after the War of Resistance Against Japan began. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xiao Zhenying served as the General Senate of the First War Zone, and Feng Yuxiang served as the deputy commander of the War Zone. At that time, the main forces of the War Zone were the Northwest Army. Feng Yuxiang had the idea of ​​pulling the mountain again, but was destroyed by Xiao Zhenying. He incited the generals of the Northwest Army to reject Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang became anxious and sent people to assassinate him three times, but he was lucky enough to escape.

Later, Feng Yuxiang was dismissed for being exposed for assassinating Xiao Zhenying. Chiang Kai-shek suspected Xiao Zhenying, and Xiao Zhenying was also dismissed. The two returned to the rear and were regular visitors to the Special Garden. Feng Yuxiang wanted to reconcile, but Xiao Zhenying refused. Later, he simply stopped coming to the Special Garden. Unexpectedly, he secretly joined the Third Party.

But it's right to think about it. He was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek. Feng Yuxiang had a strong relationship with GCD. Moreover, people in Northeast China had anti-Russia traditions and had no good feelings for GCD. The third party was his natural choice.

"Brother Zesheng, this is not your fault, it is Chiang Kai-shek's secret provocation, and the responsibility should be borne by Chiang Kai-shek." Zhou Enlai sighed and stood up. Deng Yanda and Li Jishen's attitude was very clear and sincere. Zhou Enlai couldn't say anything for a moment: "I hope we will strengthen our contacts in the future to avoid similar misunderstandings again."

"We also have this idea," Deng Yanda frankly welcomed the eyes of last week: "So we want to send a contact group to Yan'an, which is a secret group and needs to carry high-power radio stations."

Zhou Enlai frowned slightly, thought for a while and shook his head and said, "There are many Kuomintang spies in Yan'an, and their identities are difficult to hide from these people. Our party decided to restore the establishment of various theater offices. Comrade Xuan Xiafu will serve as the director of the fifth theater office. We can contact and coordinate in the fifth theater."

Deng Yanda was a little disappointed, but Zhou Enlai smiled and said, "However, we will still raise a serious protest to Chiang Kai-shek."

"Of course," Deng Yanda sighed slightly: "Cheng Kai-shek's confidence in restoring Wuhan is more secure, and it may be more difficult to make progress in the coalition government."

"This is also our concern," Zhou Enlai showed concern. He turned his head to look at Zhang Lan: "Old cousin, what suggestions do you have?"

Zhou Enlai attached great importance to Zhang Lan's opinions. Zhang Lan's current situation is a bit strange. He is the initiator of the Democratic League, but he has a good relationship with Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua's representatives in the Political Association are Mr. Mei and Zhang Jingjiang, but Zhang Lan is his important ally. Many actions will greet Zhang Lan in advance and obtain the cooperation of the other party. In addition, he has a close connection with the Third Party.

"As for the moment, the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan is good," Zhang Lan was quite satisfied with today's results. He rushed over with purpose today: "We support Mr. Jiang's war of resistance. Since he insists on the war of resistance, we can temporarily make concessions to the coalition government. Before driving away the Japanese, the coalition government can not mention it."

Zhou Enlai immediately realized that Zhang Lan had retreated from his previous propositions. Before he was restored to Wuhan, he advocated a coalition government. At the same time, Zhou Enlai seemed to see the shadow of Zhuang Jihua again, and Zhang Lan's view at this moment was exactly the same as that of Mr. Mei.

"Cousin, choose a student. I think it is precisely because the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan is good that we should promote democracy more," Zhou Enlai made a gesture, wrapping his chest with one hand: "The establishment of a country in the War of Resistance Against Japan is our greatest goal. The people hope that with the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our country should introduce the first constitution, from training to constitutionalism, establish a national army, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will hand over the army to the country. If we miss this opportunity, China's democratic road will become more tortuous and even out of reach."

"But this is just one aspect," Zhang Lan said with some concern: "Once the political situation is turbulent, it will definitely affect the war. I agree with what the Cultural Revolution said. At this stage, we can not mention the coalition government for the time being, and we will discuss everything after the war."

Zhou Enlai gasped in his heart. Zhuang Jihua actually made Zhang Lan accept his proposal without hesitation. It seems that his influence in Sichuan is not limited to military generals, but even democratic figures like Zhang Lan were deeply affected.

Sighing softly, Zhou Enlai still insisted: "Our party believes that promoting the democratic process will not affect the war of resistance, but will promote the war of resistance. After the establishment of a democratic government, the people will unite around this government, concentrate the manpower and material resources of the whole country to counterattack the Japanese invaders."

"Come on, I have some differences with you. Chiang Kai-shek will not agree to implement the coalition government at this stage," Deng Yanda's expression was very serious: "If we propose it hard, it will inevitably cause political turmoil and affect the frontline operations. So I think the coalition government can be proposed and discussed at the Political Conference. The news and newspapers of our three companies can still continue to discuss, but no proposals are formed."

"This is scratching the surface," Zhou Enlai suddenly turned around, his tone was very sharp: "It is also a regression of democracy. I hope we can jointly advance the democratic process in China."

"According to the bipartisan agreement, if your party insists, we can cooperate." Li Jishen also stood up at this time. The blinds on the second floor were always closed, and there was never a situation in the small living room outside. He walked to the window, opened the leaves and looked out, and another car stopped in front of the manor building.

"Okay, I will report your opinions to the Central Committee, please consider them." Zhou Enlai didn't want to make himself seem so aggressive, and after he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Enlai," Li Jishen called him: "Bojun is here, it seems that something is wrong, let's all listen."

Soon the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. After a while, Zhang Bojun pushed the door and came in. Zhang Bojun was about forty years old, wearing a straight blue suit, wearing a white tie, and carrying a file bag in his hand. He looked gentle and elegant. Zhang Bojun was mainly responsible for daily affairs within the third party and was also responsible for the party's propaganda work. He was the editor-in-chief of the party's official newspaper Xinmin Daily.

"Cousin, come," Zhang Bojun was not surprised by Zhou Enlai, Zhang Lan's presence. He first greeted them, and then took out several documents from his bag and handed them over to Deng Yanda and Li Jishen: "Ren Gong, Zesheng, Chiang Kai-shek held a meeting of senior generals in the 13594 war zones in Wuhan, announcing the adjustment of the war zone. The First and Fifth War Zones were merged into the Jiangbei War Zone. Wei Lihuang, the commander of the First and Fifth War Zones, was transferred to the Second War Zone, and served as deputy commander of the Second War Zone, and the Cultural Revolution was appointed as commander of the Jiangbei War Zone; the Ninth War Zone and the Third War Zone were merged into the Jiangnan War Zone, Gu Zhutong served as commander of the Jiangnan War Zone, and Xue Yue served as commander of the front enemy commander and deputy commander, abolishing the Fourth War Zone. Enlai, the Jiangbei War Zone covers the entire north of the Yangtze River, and the Hebei-Chahar War Zone and the Sulu War Zone are under its jurisdiction.

But what is most surprising is that Chiang Kai-shek announced a program for the establishment of the country in the War of Resistance and War. Look." Zhang Bojun took out one from the scattered documents on the coffee table.
