Part III Blood and Fire War of Resistance
The third part of the bloody war, Chapter 10, the tide of the third section of the war drum (eight)
Bai Chongxi still didn't understand. He smiled faintly and covered his heart and looked at the wilderness on the other side: "That was a ridiculous praise from the Chinese people. Bai was just a soldier. He just happened to be in the world and had luckily gained several opportunities to show his ambitions. Mr. Bai said, Mr. Bai was not clear, so he would like to give advice."
Bai Chongxi was originally a proud and arrogant person, but now his attitude is very low. He could let him be so low. Looking at China today, there were few people. As he said this, Bai Chongxi began to wonder whether Feng Gui was sent by Zhuang Jihua, and the words were tempted.
Feng Gui was a man of the old man, and he immediately realized what Bai Chongxi meant. However, today's temptation was not Zhuang Jihua's intention, but his own. He didn't know that Zhuang Jihua had already done Li Zongren's work through the third party. What he was worried about was that Zhuang Jihua was at its peak now, and Chiang Kai-shek attacked him after the War of Resistance, hoping to become an ally of the Gui family.
"Mr. Jian has been in charge of Guangxi for a long time, so how could he not know it? It's just that military affairs are busy and he is negligent," Feng Niu smiled faintly: "There has been a long-term gap between Guangxi and the committee member. Can Duke De Jian think about where to go in the future?"
Bai Chongxi's heart trembled, unable to help but remain silent, and looked at the river with complex eyes. With the increase of the liberation area and the rectification of the army, Chiang Kai-shek pushed his forces to places that he could not reach before, including Han Fuju, Shandong, Zheyuan, Song Zheyuan, Xinjiang Shengshicai, Yu Hanmou, Guangdong, and He Jian, Hunan. These forces were either eliminated or surrendered to the central government, Yan Xishan, Shanxi was severely weakened, Gan Qing Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang obeyed him, it can be said that except for GD, there was no military force within the Kuomintang that could challenge Chiang Kai-shek.
After a long time, Bai Chongxi sighed: "What Mr. said is true, but from my perspective, national unification is the general trend. If the Chairman leads the War of Resistance, if the Prime Minister's Three Principles of the People can be effectively implemented after the war, we should support it."
Feng Gui's eyes flashed and suddenly burst into laughter. The sound of the two birds startled. The old man who was fishing turned his head and looked at them. Seeing their clothes, he quickly turned around and was still focused on fishing. Several children were rushing over. Seeing their appearance, they couldn't help but stop fighting and looked at them strangely.
Amid the laughter, Feng Gui and Bai Chongxi's eyes hit hard in the air and quietly extinguished. Feng Gui certainly would not believe that the Guangxi clique was the first to cooperate with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek dared to launch the April 12th purge, which was due to the support of the Guangxi clique; but the Guangxi clique was also the first to be dealt with by Chiang Kai-shek. After the Northern Expedition, facing the four major warlord forces, Chiang Kai-shek took the lead in attacking the Guangxi clique. Li Bai was forced to go into exile in Hong Kong, and Guangxi's clique was almost seized.
"After social reform, the Chairman is now carrying out political reform in Chongqing," Bai Chongxi became serious. He carefully used the words and said slowly: "The country will move towards a constitutional period. Once this goal is achieved, the country will move towards a path of peaceful development."
Bai Chongxi's words were weak and powerless. He had been guessing Feng Gui's purpose, but he rejected several speculations. Feng Gui smiled and did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "Constitutionalism is naturally good, but with my understanding of the Chairman, things may not be that easy. There are many oppositions within the Party, especially the elders' opposition, and I am afraid the Chairman will be in a difficult position."
"The War of Resistance Against Japan has been fighting for six years, and the Civil War has been fighting for ten years," Bai Chongxi stood up again, took two steps forward, looked at the other side of the river, and looked at a few minutes. How should the Guizhou clan survive after the war? This question trapped him and Li Zongren. It can be imagined that the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan would push Chiang Kai-shek's reputation to a peak.
Under such circumstances, with Chiang Kai-shek's style, he would inevitably take tough measures against opponents inside and outside the party, and the survival of the Guangxi clan would be seriously threatened.
But when facing Feng Gui, Bai Chongxi could not talk about it. He knew Feng Gui in Guangzhou. Although he didn't understand it, at that time, Feng Gui was already aide to Chiang Kai-shek and now Zhuang Jihua's aide. In his opinion, Zhuang Jihua's methods of using miscellaneous brands were smoother than Chen Cheng, but more tougher.
"The establishment of the country in the War of Resistance and unified military orders," Feng Gui said slowly: "This is the Chairman's plan for the future national development. Deng Yanda and his team established the Democratic Party of the Peasants and Workers, Zhang Lan and Luo Longji and his team established the Democratic League. The domestic political atmosphere has eased. If it enters constitutionalism, it is best, but due to the most important factors, there are still great variables in the post-war state peace."
Bai Chongxi thought Feng Gui had distracted the topic and was so happy that he stopped talking about this topic. So he followed his words: "That's right, ** has been against the government for more than ten years, and there are two governments in China. This is a fact. But there is no day, and there is no two rulers in the people; there can only be one government."
Feng Gui nodded in agreement. He stood up and patted the sand on his body, and stepped forward to stand side by side with Bai Chongxi: "But ** won't make any concessions easily, negotiations between the two parties will definitely be difficult."
Bai Chongxi smiled contemptuously: "After their little ones, the army was destroyed."
Feng Gui glanced at him, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and shook his head slightly: "GD's strength is much worse than that of political affairs, but it is not that easy. The chairman of the group suppressed bandits for ten years, but it still failed to completely wipe out them. Now they have hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, after the War of Resistance Against Japan, the country's poor and the people are weak, and the people's hearts are willing to go through the war again? Can the national finance still support the war?"
Bai Chongxi was silent, and the eyes behind the glasses were unsteady. Feng Gui sighed softly, stopped talking, and turned around and walked towards the road. Bai Chongxi hesitated for a moment and followed him, his eyebrows suddenly became solemn and stretched. Two figures slowly stretched in the winter sun.
When they returned to the headquarters, Zhuang Jihua could not rest. When Li Mei heard that Zhuang Jihua was back, she immediately pulled Gao Zhihang to ask for a meeting. Zhuang Jihua had to give up rest.
As soon as Li Mei met, she explained his plan in detail to Zhuang Jihua and asked for approval of the plan. After listening to his introduction, Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while and said, and disappointed Li Mei.
"No, General Li Mei, Tianjin is a metropolis with a population of one million. Such a bombing will cause at least 100,000 citizens to die. If this is against the enemy country, I can still accept it, but this is our own territory, and I cannot accept such bombing."
If you want to change someone, Li Mei might have been angry for a few days, but she can't face Zhuang Jihua. In the US military advisory group, he had long heard of Zhuang Jihua's reputation. Even Stilwell was driven away by him. Who else can't be driven away?
"Don't be anxious first," Zhuang Jihua thought Li Mei was about to open her mouth, so she made a gesture: "General, I also want to bomb the Japanese mainland as soon as possible. For this reason, I ordered the study of a napalm bomb six years ago. General Yu Dawei told me that this gasoline bomb has been successfully studied. General, do you know that most of Japan's buildings are wooden structures. As long as a large-scale bombing is carried out, Tokyo can be burned to white ground.
However, there is no hurry. We will definitely take it down in Tianjin. There are only so many Japanese reinforcements," Zhuang Jihua said, standing up and patting Li Mei on his shoulder: "Besides, I don't think your plan will allow Japanese planes to fight. In the past few months, we have carried out large-scale attacks on the Japanese's jiā line and the gathering place of troops, but the Japanese Air Force still has not appeared. Why?
According to the information I received, in the early stage of the battle, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and their new aircraft had already lost 80% of them. No matter how you bomb, if we don’t attack, they won’t go into battle.”
Li Mei spread her hands and looked helpless. Gao Zhihang said at this time: "Commander, Bei Zhi believes that General Li Mei's plan can be modified, and the bombing of Tianjin will be limited to the port; large-scale bombing of Beining Road is carried out, and leaflets are distributed in Peiping and Tianjin, telling the residents in the city that ** will launch a counterattack soon and ask the residents to find a place to hide."
Zhuang Jihua calmed down when he heard this, while Li Mei opened her eyes wide, wondering why Gao Zhihang made such a suggestion. Isn’t this telling the Japanese army that we are going to attack? It is a serious leak.
"This is interesting," Zhuang Jihua thought for a while: "Tianjin will not be bombed. The Military Control Commission has monitored the Japanese army at the Tianjin port. We have absolute air supremacy, and they dare not land on a large scale in Tianjin. You can consider the matter of leaflets, but it is not used at this stage. I will notify you when it will be used."
Li Mei was going crazy, he could not understand at all. In such an important decisive battle, would the Chinese generals actually notify the Japanese army because they were worried about the loss of life? Many years later, he wrote in his memoirs: "The thinking of the Eastern generals is difficult to understand. If we bombed Tianjin at the beginning, it would be very necessary to tactically. When attacking Tianjin, many soldiers could be saved......"
The next two days, the Lujia Villa gradually became lively, with the stars shining. Every day, there were lieutenant generals and generals who came to the guards. The Lujia Villa soon could not live in the nearby villages and temples. The people around him were talking about it when they saw this. Many village cadres and grassroots party cadres asked their superiors whether they should organize a team immediately.
Journalists everywhere rushed from all over the country like cats smelling fishy smells, and rushed to Dexian from all over the Lujia Villa. Every day, reporters tried hard to enter the headquarters, but the guard brigade of the headquarters with strict vigilance blocked them, which could not stop these reporters. They immediately spread to the surrounding villages and targeted the generals who came from all over the country.
Because there are too many people attending the meeting, ordinary conference rooms cannot accommodate them at all. Xu Zuyi arranged the conference room on an open space in the backyard, and there were four long tables vertically. There was a row of tables horizontally at the front, and a map was hung next to it.
The generals flashed in the conference venue, Zhuang Jihua sat in the middle, Bai Chongxi sat on the right, Sun Lianzhong, deputy commander of the war zone, Tang Enbo sat on the left, and below were Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi and Deputy Chief of Staff Gong Chu.ra!~!
