The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the 10th chapter of the storm (23)

Zhou En returned to the office. The central government's telegram had arrived. The central government instructed him not to leave Jinan for the time being and continue to engage with Zhuang Jihua. The central government reminded him that he was invited by Zhuang Jihua to Jinan, and he must have some purpose.

After reading the telegram, Zhou Enlai was a little calmer. He came to Jinan to deal with the Hao Pengju incident in name, but in fact, Zhuang Jihua invited him. If it was judged in the past that Zhuang Jihua wanted to directly deal with him and resolve the Hao Pengju incident, it seems that before he came, Zhuang Jihua had a comprehensive consideration of resolving the incident. In other words, Zhuang Jihua didn't need him to come to Jinan for negotiations at all. In this case, there must be something else to ask him to come to Jinan.

After thinking through all the links, Zhou Enlai thought of Deng Yanda again. When Deng Yanda learned that he was going to Jinan, he suggested to him that according to Zhuang Jihua's actions, he asked democratic parties to supervise the entire negotiations, so he naturally went to Jinan. It seems that Deng Yan had a purpose to reach Jinan.

Recalling his insights just now, Zhou Enlai became increasingly sure that there was some connection between Deng Yanda and Zhuang Jihua. What's more bold is that Zhuang Jihua secretly joined the Third Party.

Xuan Xiafu was very puzzled by the central government's instructions. In his opinion, since Zhuang Jihua had decided to use force and put military operations on the day Zhou En arrived in Jinan, it was simply a humiliation. Our party should resolutely launch a military counterattack, and Zhou Enlai should leave Jinan and return to Chongqing.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, what does the Central Committee mean? Does the Central Committee disagree with our army's counterattack?" Out of his consistent obedience to the party, Xuan Xiafu did not immediately express his opinion, but raised a question. He picked up another telegram, which was sent by Shandong Bureau and Su Y: "Comrade Su Y suggested to launch an attack on Yishui and Zhucheng front line, and Shandong Bureau suggested to launch an offensive in Jiaodong."

Xuan Xiafu did not express his opinions, but he showed his attitude after he came up with the opinions of Shandong Bureau and Su Yi. Zhou Enlai shook his head and objected: "Tele to Shandong Bureau and Comrade Su Yi and Comrade Chen Yi that the situation is complicated now and the military counterattack will not be carried out for the time being."

Xuan Xiafu was a little puzzled, but Zhou Enlai's attitude was very firm and the central government's instructions were also clear. Xuan Xiafu drafted a telegram and sent it to the radio station. After Xuan Xiafu went out, Zhou Enlai hugged his arms and wandered indoors, thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, Deng Yan reached the point. Not only did he arrive, but Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei also came together. Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei looked very serious. The development of the matter was beyond their expectations. They were also very worried that if ** launches a military counterattack, the conflict between the two parties will be further expanded.

"Enlai, we discussed it," Huang Yanpei took the lead in speaking: "If the Cultural Revolution said it truthfully, it was just to arrest Hao Pengju and not occupy the base of your party, we hope that your party can restrain it so as not to expand the conflict."

Zhou Enlai sneered: "The Kuomintang army invaded our party's base and deliberately expanded the situation, destroying the current good situation of the War of Resistance. Our party hopes that all gentlemen can uphold justice and reveal the truth about this incident to the people of the whole country."

"Mr. Zhou," Zhang Lan gently stroked the long beard under his jaw: "It is a good thing to resolve the Hao Pengju incident like this. Both parties have not lost face and can serve as the top and bottom. Mr. Zhou, the Japanese pirates have not been eliminated, and I hope that both parties should put state affairs first."

"I arrived in Jinan thousands of miles away to peacefully resolve Hao Pengju. However, our sincerity for peace was regarded as weak by the Kuomintang," Zhou Enlai considered the words and his tone was still very stern: "Our party cannot accept such insults, and we reserve the right to react further. Before that, our party asked the Kuomintang to release General Hao Pengju immediately and withdraw from my base unconditionally."

"Okay, I will convey this request to the Cultural Revolution." Zhang Lan took a lot of money: "At the same time, I will also express our attitude."

Zhou Enlai was not surprised by Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei's attitude. If this was done by other Kuomintang generals, their attitudes would definitely be different, including Zhang Lan, but Zhuang Jihua has always been pro-communist. He had published Jiang Xianyun's memorial texts in the past two years. Two years ago, he once again pulled the two parties back from the brink of civil war, implemented social reforms across the country, and defeated the Japanese army several times. These achievements made them have a great favor to Zhuang Jihua, so they subconsciously defended Zhuang Jihua.

"Come on, tomorrow the Cultural Revolution will prepare a banquet at Daming Lake and invite us all to the banquet."

Deng Yanda, who had not spoken, then he spoke. Zhou Enlai and Mei Yang wanted to refuse, but Deng Yanda rushed in front of him and smiled at him: "Don't hurry to refuse, Enlai, you can go and listen to what he said."

Zhou Enlai's heart moved and nodded subconsciously; at this time, Xuan Xiafu came in, and Deng Yanda said intentionally or unintentionally: "Sword Soul is going to go tomorrow, Sword Soul, how long has it been since you and He Junshan been together? Please contact us more if you have time."

Xuan Xiafu was a little confused. He didn't know what Deng Yanda meant. Deng Yanda no longer said anything. Zhou Enlai was speechless. Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei said for a while. Deng Yanda occasionally said something, but Zhou Enlai rarely spoke.

"Come on, now the front has been advanced to North China. What will the Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army do in the future? What are your plans?" Deng Yanda asked.

Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei also looked at Zhou Enlai. After the front line advanced to North China, it was difficult for GCD to continue the war behind enemy lines. The space behind enemy lines could no longer accommodate so many troops, and other practices must be considered.

"Oh, do you have any suggestions?" Zhou Enlai did not answer directly, and asked back first.

Deng Yanda thought for a while and said, "I suggest that your party reorganize the army, take out a powerful part, and devote it to frontal or flank operations. I suggest that your party gather the Liu Deng troops in Taihang Mountains and the New Fourth Army led by Xu xqian together west of the Pinghan Line. The troops led by Ye Ting went north and threatened Zhangjiakou and restrained the Japanese army. In addition, the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army in Shandong can also go north."

Zhou Enlai nodded without comment, thought for a while before slowly saying: "As for the current situation, our party cannot determine the way of cooperation with the Kuomintang. The combat needs cooperation. According to the current bipartisan relationship, we cannot trust the Kuomintang. Take the First Division of the New Fourth Army as an example. How to ensure the security of the Yiméng Mountain Base after Chen Su's troops head north? Also, the Kuomintang army has been eyeing our Taihang Mountain Base, and how to ensure the safety of the Taihang Mountain Base after Liu Deng's troops head north? If these problems are not solved, it will be difficult for our Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army to enter the frontal battle."

Deng Yanda's god was a little sad. He actually thought that after the Hao Pengju incident, GCD would not easily transfer troops out of the base, but if GCD troops were not transferred out of the base, would the Kuomintang feel at ease? Shouldn't the corresponding troops also leave behind? In this way, about 700,000 to 800,000 troops were consuming each other. On the front, the troops commanded by Zhuang Jihua will bear all the pressure on the Japanese army. Even if his troops still surpassed the Japanese army, their advantage was already in Shandong and in the battle of northern Hubei.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't agree with this point. Eliminating the Japanese army is the expectation of the whole nation." Zhang Lan objected at this time: "Your Party said that there are hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army on the Taihang Mountains, plus the total militia force of nearly one million, and transferred 100,000 to operate west of the Pinghan Line. This can not only threaten and restrain the Japanese army, but also avoid fire with the **jiāāo. Why not do such a good thing in both worlds?"

Zhang Lan's doubts made Zhou Enlai a little embarrassed. He claimed in Chongqing that the Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army had a million troops, and there was an exaggerated publicity element. Now that Zhang Lan took it out, Zhou Enlai was unable to answer.

"Cousin, things are not that simple," said Xuan Xiafu, "If our main force goes north and the Kuomintang army takes the opportunity to attack? Cousin cannot guarantee that such a thing will not happen."

Zhang Lan shook his head and said stubbornly: "The entire North China War Zone was commanded by the Cultural Revolution. Although your party has a Hebei-Chahar War Zone, this layman who does not understand military knowledge knows that the Hebei-Chahar War Zone must be abolished. Mr. Zhou, I believe that the Cultural Revolution is the most important thing and will not launch an attack on your party."

Zhou Enlai shook his head lightly: "The Hao Pengju incident has proved that my cousin trusts him..."

Zhou Enlai shook his head and looked at Zhang Lan with great regret. Xuan Xiafu added: "In addition to Zhuang Cultural Revolution, there is also Chiang Kai-shek. This chairman wants to order him to attack the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army, and he may not be able to stop him."

Zhang Lan was speechless, and Deng Yanda sighed and said, "Come on, the two armies and the two political affairs have come to a time to resolve. Otherwise, even if you survive the War of Resistance, domestic peace after the war will be difficult."

"So, our party advocates starting from now on to form a coalition politics, implement democratic elections nationwide, and formulate a democratic constitution. Only in this way can long-term peace be achieved in the country." Zhou Enlai looked at Deng Yanda.

He knew very well about the two proposals planned by the Third Party recently, and Deng Yanda asked him for advice without caring about it. Zhou Enlai certainly supported the first proposal, but he proposed a supplement, namely, to release all political prisoners. GCD There were many people who were detained by Chiang Kai-shek, and there were also Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. ** hoped to use this to test Chiang Kai-shek.

As for another proposal, Zhou Enlai also made some additions, believing that the preparation time should start from now and should not exceed five years at most, but this suggestion was politely rejected by Deng Yanda, which disappointed Zhou Enlai very much.

Deng Yanda understood what Zhou Enlai was thinking about looking at him, but Zhang Jingjiang's words appeared in his mind, "Now it is the competition between the Three Kingdoms. We must not only guard against Cao cào, but also guard against Sun Quan."

Deng Yanda still agreed with Zhang Jingjiang's words. Although he cooperated with **, Deng Yanda also felt that once the territory was involved, ** would not make any concessions. Moreover, the development of the Third Party in the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army base was greatly restricted. During the rectification movement, the Kuomintang and the Third Party members were both targets of the rectification, which made Li Jishen, Huang Qixiang and others very dissatisfied.
