Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly in his heart. No wonder this man could force Mrs. Thatcher to panic decades later. Deng Xiaoheping's negotiation style was very different from Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai rarely became so aggressive. Although his negotiation disputes with him were fierce, the atmosphere was always gentle. Deng Xiaoheping was also gentle, but his words were filled with bones. Their common feature was that they were cheerful and not calculating on trivial matters.

"The hostages are not mentioned. What I am worried about is that Wei Lihuang's lack of troops," Zhuang Jihua thought, "Mr. Deng, judging from what happened in Xinjiang, Stalin is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. What I am worried about is that after Wei Lihuang attacks Méng Gu, he will have conflicts with the Soviet army, and his troops will be slightly weak."

Deng Xiaoheping shook his head firmly without thinking: "This is exactly what our party is worried about. Whether in the past or present, our party has relations with the Soviet Union. Armed conflicts with the Soviet Union will cause great chaos among ordinary party members and soldiers. Our party's support for the recovery of the ancients is already the greatest support our party can do."

Faced with Deng Xiaoheping's frankness, Zhuang Jihua was a little helpless. When Wei Lihuang went to méng Gu, Zhuang Jihua was most worried about was a conflict with the Soviet army. In terms of national strength, the gap between China and the Soviet Union was obvious, and China did not have the strength to fight with the Soviet army, so Zhuang Jihua was very worried that Wei Lihuang's troops were insufficient.

"Okay, I agree that your party will not send troops," Zhuang Jihua immediately gave up this request. In fact, he also estimated that Yan'an would not agree, but he still wanted to give it a try and see their attitude before deciding. Now Deng Xiaoheping's attitude is very firm, so he no longer has to bother with this issue.

"General ** participated in the attack on the Northeast, and I agree with this, but I want to know his way forward."

Zhuang Jihua talked about this first, which surprised Deng Xiaoheping. He thought that Zhuang Jihua would discuss the issue of food first, but he did not expect that he would discuss this issue first.

"General **'s march route is to go through Rehe, enter Liaoning, and then attack Heilongjiang along the southern foot of the Greater Xing'an Mountains." Deng Xiaoheping said carefully that he was the acting secretary of the North China Bureau and was not responsible for specific operations, so that was Peng Dehuai.

Zhuang Jihua frowned slightly. He felt Yan'an's intention for the northeast. ** Entering Liaoning, he would definitely not go south to attack Shenyang, but to attack Changchun, the main force of the Kwantung Army gathered on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and the area around Jilin and Heilongjiang was very empty. ** can easily succeed. Zhuang Jihua did not believe that Yan'an would spit out these territories by then.

"I believe in General **'s ability," Zhuang Jihua said carefully: "However, I think General **'s troops should act together with the North China troops and act in accordance with the unified deployment of the North China War Zone."

Deng Xiaoheping looked at Zhuang Jihua and was guessing the purpose of his move. In addition to obtaining Zhuang Jihua's understanding, there was another important factor. After the war, the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army suffered a great loss, and there was an extremely lack of weapons and ammunition. All the weapons and ammunition in the logistics warehouse of the North Line were supplemented with Wei Lihuang.

**'s march route is a relatively sparsely populated area, and it is difficult to meet the food needs of the 100,000 troops, let alone ammunition. ** reported to the central government that the troops' artillery shells have only three shells per gun, and each soldier has only seven bullets and two grenades. The soldiers in the external team have serious rural concepts and are confused in their minds, so they are required to conduct ideological education for at least half a month.

"As General Zhuang said just now, our party's troops are not good at attacking tough problems," Deng Xiaoheping was very addicted to smoking. He took out the cigarette from the cigarette box and then continued, and then continued: "The central government believes that our army still adopts guerrilla methods behind enemy lines to cooperate with the frontal attack on the Northeast."

"So how can we ensure that your party can hand over the occupied areas as agreed after conquering the Northeast?" Gong Xiuhua asked.

Deng Xiaoheping looked at her and seemed to be unsurprising at her interruption: "No matter what I say now, you probably won't believe it. You can only prove it with actions in the future."

So far, Deng Xiaoheping's words were very frank, and Zhuang Jihua didn't see any questions. After thinking about it, he felt that he could not agree easily, but he could not refuse easily.

The Kwantung Army gathered in Shanhaiguan, and Jilin and Heilongjiang were indeed empty. Attacking in these two places first would make it difficult for Okabe Naosaburo to take care of the beginning and end, and he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"How many troops does General's troops have?" Zhuang Jihua asked again.

"The ones drawn from each unit have been determined, and the strength of about 70,000 troops will be increased. The central government is still considering whether it will be increased." Deng Xiaoheping did not tell the truth. **'s troops have begun to gather in the Zhangbei area, with a total strength of about 106,000.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head slightly: "There are too few troops. The Kwantung Army is the most elite unit of the Japanese army. Moreover, the Japanese army still has about 500,000 Manchurian National Defense Forces in the northeast. Let me think about this one again."

Deng Xiaoheping was slightly disappointed. Zhuang Jihua seemed to see his disappointment, so he smiled at him: "Don't be too anxious. A big battle has just ended, and the troops should also rest. Besides, they have to give Okabe Naosaburo some time to concentrate the Kwantung Army on the front line of Shanhaiguan and empty out Jilin and Liaoning."

Unfortunately, his witty words did not resonate with Deng Xiaoheping. He frowned, but did not express his objection. Zhuang Jihua continued: "Absolutely, I can't take out the food and ammunition now. I will have to wait at least one month before I can take out the food and ammunition that your party needs."

Deng Xiaoheping had to make a statement this time, and he said to the voice: "General Zhuang, I know your food difficulties, but the people in the base area of ​​my resistance against the Hachiday are even more difficult; in addition, after losing Central Hebei, our party lost the granary, and grain replenishment is even more difficult, and two million kilograms are not much. In terms of ammunition replenishment, since our party has handed over the troops to General Zhuang for command, we hope that General Zhuang can treat everyone equally."

"I have never discriminated against any unit," Zhuang Jihua's expression was very calm: "You may have heard just now that the ammunition problem has affected our attack on Tianjin. Mr. Deng, the entire North China War Zone is now lacking ammunition, and the Logistics Department is urgently transporting from the rear, but our traffic limits the speed of transportation. If we have the transportation capacity of the United States or Britain, we can launch an attack on the Northeast within one month. One day of the evening, Okabe Naosaburo will be ready for a full day, our sacrifice

It would be a little more, but there was nothing we could do about it." Deng Xiaoheping sighed softly. Even if the Kuomintang delayed the attack, the ** could not use it. Now, no one would believe that the Kuomintang did not resist the war. In two years, he fought from northern Hubei to Shanhaiguan, wiped out millions of Japanese troops, and restored a large area of ​​land. On this battlefield, the Kuomintang began to accuse ** of preserving its strength and ineffective combat. The biggest evidence was that ** kept the main force of the 89th Army in Taihang Mountains, and the Kuomintang accused ** of this move to seize territory.

Zhuang Jihua and Deng Xiaoheping knew these well, but neither side took them seriously. In southeast of Hebei, west of Pinghan Road, and in Shanxi, the two sides had some disputes on their territory. These disputes were just the territory of one or two towns. Zhuang Jihua's bottom line was that as long as it did not involve the transportation artery Pinghan Line, it would be acceptable, and it would not affect the overall situation a little more or less. Therefore, Chongqing had a lot of disputes in this regard, but the North China War Zone was very calm and the two sides continued to cooperate.

Deng Xiaoheping left in disappointment, Zhuang Jihua returned to the war room and immediately ordered Xu Zuyi that the 49th Army stopped going south and returned to Chengde immediately, the 101st Army entered Chifeng, the 102nd Army entered Ningcheng, and the 103th Army entered between Chifeng and Ningcheng; the 23rd Army entered Pingquan, the 21st Army entered Pingquan, and the 23rd Army stationed north of Pingquan to Ningcheng; the 52nd Army went north, the 47th Army stationed between Qinglong and Pingquan, the New 14th Army stationed between Qinglong and Pingquan, and the Third Army stationed between Qinglong and the Great Wall.

Xu Zuyi was a little puzzled by Zhuang Jihua's adjustment and deployment. According to this adjustment, there were more than 200,000 people on the Liao-Rei border, and the replenishment of these six armies was extremely difficult. Outside the frontier, it was originally a bitter and cold place, and all the food had to be sent from the rear. The transportation in the Rehe area was inconvenient. Originally, the 49th Army was transferred south to solve the supplementary problem, but now it has been retracted. The 49th Army, which is almost at Gubeikou, is going north again. Almost all the soldiers of the 49th Army are from Sichuan, and may be very uncomfortable with the climate and living habits in the north. Returning back will have a serious impact on their morale.

"It doesn't matter, I have confidence in them." Zhuang Jihua has firm confidence in the troops he trained: "The political cadres of the troops must play a role and explain to the soldiers why they should stay in Rehe."

"Why?" Xu Zuyi couldn't help asking.

"In order to eliminate the Japanese invaders and to restore the Northeast." Zhuang Jihua gave Xu Zuyi a blank look, and He Wei secretly laughed at Xu Zuyi's honesty. Zhuang Jihua made this adjustment after the talks with Deng Xiaoheping, which was obviously related to **'s actions.

He Wei guessed that Zhuang Jihua was preventing the Northeast from attacking. The northeast was vast and the Japanese army was empty. From He Wei's point of view, he could create a base area with five thousand people. Zhuang Jihua's adjustment was actually not as much a blockade. Six armies completely blocked the border of Reliao from north to south. If they want to enter the Northeast, they could only go inside.

"By the way, I ordered all troops to disperse the enrolled puppet troops and add them to the troops. By the way, the troops composed of the ancients remain unchanged for the time being, but all troops must send political workers, and the head of the puppet Xinjiang Autonomous Government to Dexian to me." Zhuang Jihua called Xu Zuyi, who was about to draft the order, and added a few orders.

The Battle of North China revived a large area of ​​territory and at the same time eliminated a pseudo-government established by Japan. After occupying Chahar and Suiyuan, the Japanese merged Nei-ggu and the two provinces to establish a pseudo-grin coalition government, also called the Méng Xinjiang Kingdom, and also established Zhangjiakou as the capital.

This puppet government was made by Prince Demuchukdongpulu, also known as King De, who served as the head of the government and also served as the commander-in-chief of the Méng Gu Army. Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, King De contacted Chiang Kai-shek, hoping to go south, but Chiang Kai-shek let him lurk in the puppet government; those who had the same experience were Deputy Commander Li Shouxin, both of whom were instigated by the Military Control Commission and allowed them to stay in the puppet government.

After the Japanese army launched a battle against Ménggu, Li Shouxin personally led the main force of the Ménggu army and the Han rebel army with the Japanese army to attack Ménggu, while King De stayed in Zhangjiakou.

The ancient army was mainly cavalry, with a total force of 18 cavalry divisions and a total force of about 120,000. The Han rebel army commanded by Wang Ying had 100,000 people. They followed Li Shouxin to attack the ancient army with about 12 cavalry divisions and 80,000 Han rebel army.

In addition to the ancient méng army, Rehe incorporated the Manchurian Garrison. After the establishment of Manchuria, Japan did not intend to establish any military force for Manchuria. It only incorporated the surrendered former Northeast Army and the Anti-Cretariat Japanese coalition into the guards. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army's troops in Manchuria were weakened, so it began to expand the continental military force and formed the Manchurian National Defense Force. Before fighting against the Soviet Union, it began to vigorously expand the continental defense force.

According to the information of Rigao Nosuke, after seven years of fighting and development, the Manchurian National Defense Forces had about 1.2 million, a considerable number of them were ** Eighth Route Army prisoners of war sent to the pass. In addition to the National Defense Forces, Manchuria also has local security forces, which are responsible for fighting with the Japanese army. The security forces are mainly responsible for daily local security and dealing with guerrillas.

The main force of the Manchurian National Defense Forces followed the Japanese army to fight against the Soviet Union and the Russian and Méng Gu. The Rehe battles were mainly recruited by the Guard Army and the Méng Gu Cavalry Division, with a total number of about 20,000 people.

For these soldiers, Zhuang Jihua used to complete the rectification through reorganization, but this time it was different. All the puppet troops were dispersed and organized into the ***. In order to prevent the ** soldiers from discriminating against them and speed up the Any Soldiers who had served as puppet troops, the Political Department of the Theater also specially held a meeting of the Directors of the Political Department above the Army and formulated the work of the Any Soldiers. Li Zhilong summarized the work policy to care about life, help at work, and strictly prohibit insults and corporal punishment.

Zhuang Jihua was still very cautious about the ancient army. His religion and culture were different, and he was extremely short of ancient political workers. Zhuang Jihua ordered the search for Han and Korean Chinese people in the North China War Zone to send them to the Political Work School for training in the North China War Zone.

Deng Xiaoheping returned to De County and moved into the Eighth Route Army Office. In the evening, Xuan Xiafu came back and was very surprised to see him because he didn't know that Deng Xiaoheping had come to De County. It was said that Xuan Xiafu and Deng Xiaoheping were old acquaintances. During the Great Revolution, both of them worked in Feng Yuxiang's northwest army.

Xuan Xia's father thought Deng Xiaoheping was here to inspect the work or guide the negotiations, so he hurriedly wanted to report to Deng Xiaoheping, but Deng Xiaoheping said he was not busy, so he drafted a telegram first and handed it over to Xuan Xiafu to send it to Taihang Mountain and transfer it to the central government.

"The headquarters has been transferred to the central government. Now we are negotiating with Zhuang. It is very difficult to provide food and ammunition supplements. Zhuang asked the Lin Ministry to postpone the postponement of one month or two months, and asked the Lin Ministry to be assigned to the command of the North China War Theater, agree to hand over Zhangjiakou to us, and also ask to hand over the bases around Hepingjin in the three counties in Hebei."
