Part Three The Bloody War of Resistance Chapter 10 The Furious Waves Section 5 Stalin's Attack (18)

Lin Wei was about to speak when Xiao Zanyu came in again. He interrupted the meeting several times, but no one blamed him. Since he dared to do this, it means that the matter was really serious.

"Cultural Revolution calls." Xiao Zanyu simply reported four words. Chiang Kai-shek, Lin Wei, Chen Bulei, Chen Cheng's expressions were different. Chen Cheng seemed to have a gloomy face. Chen Bulei's expression was calm. A hint of panic slipped across Lin Wei's face. Chiang Kai-shek frowned deeply, and seemed a little angry.

Chen Cheng received the telegram from Xiao Zanyu and was stunned. Lin Wei was a little surprised. He looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Bulei received the telegram from the two of them, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but frown.

"The Communist Party has a great appetite." Chen Bulei couldn't help but shake his head. When Chiang Kai-shek heard that it was the Communist Party's problem, he felt a little relieved. Chen Bulei handed him the telegram. Zhuang Jihua reported to him that the Communist Party sent DXP to De County to participate in the negotiations and proposed to exchange Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua for the three counties in Hebei and the bases near Pingjin.

Chiang Kai-shek spat heavily and threw the telegram on the table: "Look, the situation has just improved, and the local forces, the Communist Party, jumped out and dragged us down."

"The problems of the Communist Party of China are the most troublesome. Chen Bulei rubbed his hands, as if he was saying that this matter was difficult. In terms of the situation, the situation of the Kuomintang was very good, and the politics and military were in a strong position. Victory on the battlefield made the government's prestige unprecedentedly high. Most local warlords accepted reorganization and began to integrate into the Central Army. The situation was so good, but taking military actions against the Communist Party of China were not allowed in politics, and the political and military situation at home and abroad were not allowed.

"Zhangjiakou is the capital city of the province and is an important town in North China. They want to exchange these two cities for the small bases near Pingjin in the three counties in Hebei and Central and Pingjin. They are fantastic." Chen Cheng couldn't help complaining: "The Chairman must not agree."

"Mr. Bulei, Wei Wen, what are your opinions?" Chiang Kai-shek did not make a decision immediately, but turned to Chen Bulei and Lin Wei.

"According to our agreement with the Communist Party, Chahar and Suiyuan are under their jurisdiction. Suining is already in Fu Zuoyi's hands and cannot fight for it. If neither of their provinces have a provincial capital, they may feel bad." Lin Wei carefully used the words and said very carefully.

"Do you ask Zhuang Wenge's opinion?" Chen Bulei felt that he had negotiated with the Communist Party of China in previous years, but Zhuang Jihua did not suffer any loss in negotiations with them. He seemed to have always had a way to make things that seemed to suffer a loss more favorable. The most classic thing is that the two parties went to a civil war, and Zhuang Jihua tuned left and right, and as a result, two and a half provincial chairmen exchanged the Communist Party's bases in northern Jiangsu and Jiangnan. At the beginning, many people thought they had suffered a loss, but now it seems that they did not suffer a loss, and they took advantage of it. Without the Communist Party of China in Jiangnan, the national army could proceed calmly.

Then Chiang Kai-shek felt that the telegram seemed a little different. After thinking about it, he realized that Zhuang Jihua's telegrams used to contain his own analysis and suggestions, but this letter did not, but just a simple report on the requirements of the Chinese Communist Party.

"It seems that he has learned to be cautious," Chiang Kai-shek muttered in his heart but did not express it on his face, and still frowned slightly.

Chen Bulei's proposal was given by Lin Wei's special agent: "Chairman, I think it's OK. Otherwise, the Battle of North China has come to an end. There is a rare time to have a free time. Should he come back and report to the Chairman in person. By the way, he will also talk about the issue of the Northeast Army."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly. This method is good, but when he thought about it, he shook his head again: "Although the North China Exhibition has come to an end, there are many affairs after the war, and the Cultural Revolution cannot be broken. It is better to do this. Wei Wen and Ci Xiu, let's go to North China."

Lin Wei was stunned and immediately agreed that the difficulties after the war in North China were unprecedented. Some time ago, Zhuang Jihua sent several telegrams a day, asking for food, ammunition, and replenishing troops. The quarrel with Hong Junqi was overturned and quarreled in front of Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, if you win such a big victory, Chiang Kai-shek, as the head of state, should also go and see it to boost morale.

"What should I do about northern Jiangsu?" Chen Cheng asked hesitantly.

Chiang Kai-shek said without thinking: "Your initial advice is very good. I have sent a telegram to the 57th Army. Whether to transfer them to the North China War Zone has not yet decided. However, the situation in northern Jiangsu is tense, and they should first stabilize the situation in northern Jiangsu." Speaking of this, he paused and added: "Guan Lin had weak military strength, so he transferred two troops from Jiangnan to northern Jiangsu. In addition, one army was drawn from North China to the Jianghuai War Zone. The specific one was decided by Xue Yue and Zhuang Jihua. Xiou Shouzao just wanted to hold our army back. The two divisions attacked northern Jiangsu and could not cause any major problems."

"Yes." Chen Cheng agreed hesitated. He understood that Chiang Kai-shek had thought it clearly before he arrived. Although the Japanese retreated from Anqing and other places, the troops were more concentrated, the density of the Jiangnan War Zone was also greater, enough to draw two troops out.

Chen Cheng drafted a telegram in Chiang Kai-shek's office, handed it to Chiang Kai-shek for signing the house and sent it out using the radio station of the villa. That night, Chen Cheng stayed in the villa.

The next day, when Chiang Kai-shek took Mao to Jinan and then transferred to Dexian. When he got off at Dexian Railway Station, Zhuang Jihua and the main officers of the War Zone Command were waiting at the railway station. In addition, Stilwell, Stuart, and local celebrities in Dexian were also waiting at the railway station.

In the majestic music of the military band, Chiang Kai-shek smiled, and Zhuang Jihua stepped forward to salute and reported loudly: "Report to Chairman! Zhuang Jihua, commander of the North China War Zone, led the head of the theater command to welcome the chairman to inspect the North China War Zone!"

Chiang Kai-shek replied with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work in the Cultural Revolution, I see you have lost weight again."

Zhuang Jihua laughed at me: "Thank you for your concern."

After saying that, he waved his hand back and the military band sounded again. The crowd was cheering, and Chiang Kai-shek, dressed in military uniform, looked very heroic. Stilwell stepped forward to salute Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek also returned the salute with a smile. Chiang Kai-shek made a special trip to Situ Leiden to congratulate him on escape from danger. Then Chiang Kai-shek made a simple speech to the welcome crowd and reporters on the platform.

"In the Battle of North China, the National Army won an unprecedented victory, annihilated more than 300,000 enemies, and tens of thousands of prisoners alone! Restoring a large area of ​​land, the National Army's troops headed straight to Shanhaiguan! This victory was caused by the bloodshed and sacrificed by the soldiers of our North China War Zone! Millions of people in North China support! This victory is the glory of our nation!

After seven years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we made great sacrifices! We finally saw the dawn of victory! The victory of North China's struggle determines the end of this war! We will eventually win the war!"

Then Chiang Kai-shek got on the sedan chair amid the sound of military music. Before getting on the car, he called Zhuang Jihua to the car. After getting on the car, the smile on Chiang Kai-shek's face was swept away. Zhuang Jihua observed his words and expressions and knew that things were not very good, so he shut up and didn't speak.

The car did not enter the city and drove directly to the Lu family villa. When he was about to arrive at the Lu family villa, Chiang Kai-shek spoke: "What is the situation of the refugees?"

Zhuang Jihua sighed and said in embarrassment: "It's difficult for refugees to add tens of millions of troops, the logistics pressure is extremely high, and the food is extremely tight. I can't get enough food here one day later."

Chiang Kai-shek also sighed heavily: "Yes, it's hard for you. The Cultural Revolution, this battle has basically solved the main force of the Japanese army in China. When do you plan to attack Peking and Tianjin?"

Zhuang Jihua cursed in his heart, and I thought you were going to deliver food to me, so I asked, "Beijing and Tianjin are just ripe fruits, and I can eat them whenever I want, and what's the difficulty."

"Beiping will not move for the time being. In two weeks, Guangting is already mobilizing troops." Zhuang Jihua sighed again, "The main problem is logistics, insufficient ammunition, especially the shells. There is only one shell base now. To attack a strong city like Tianjin, at least three shell bases are needed."

"Beijing Tianjin, don't be too anxious. It's not too late to fight if you are well prepared," Chiang Kai-shek wanted to turn his head and look at Zhuang Jihua, with a smile on his lips: "Cultural Revolution, where is the Shanhaiguan? What about the Kwantung Army?"

"We lost contact with Wolf Eye," Zhuang Jihua said honestly: "He suddenly disappeared. He might be in the city of Peking or to the Northeast. We have sent people to sneak into the Northeast at present. However, the difficulty is that the situation in the Northeast is very complicated. The Japanese have been governing for thirteen years, and social control is very strict. It is difficult for our people to gain a foothold. Wang Xiaoshan is cooperating with Dai Li and is preparing to hand over the contact information of Wolf Eye to Dai Li, and Dai Li cooperates with."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly. As the war progressed, the role of the wolf eye would become smaller and smaller. Moreover, because the wolf eye was too active in promoting the war against the Soviet Union, it was difficult to settle the account after the war.

"According to the current situation, the Mongolian front army led by Naosabu Okabe has arrived at Shanhaiguan. At present, the Kwantung Army has about 200,000 troops in the Shanhaiguan area, and our army only has 200,000 troops in the front of Shanhaiguan, but there are still about 250,000 in the Rehe area. My basic judgment is that Naosabu Okabe is stepping up fortifications and there is no sign of attacking our army fortifications for the time being." Zhuang Jihua said that this information comes from the Military Control Commission. The Military Control Commission has set up several intelligence networks in the Northeast in recent years, and a few elites have also invaded the top leaders of the Manchukuo. Accurate intelligence cannot be obtained, and these basic information can still be obtained.

As they were talking, the car stopped, and the two turned their heads to see that they had already arrived at the gate of the Lu family courtyard. Wu Ziniu, who was sitting in the front row, got off the car first to open the car door for Chiang Kai-shek. Zhuang Jihua pushed the car door himself and got off. The officers who did not go to the station in the headquarters were all at the entrance of the command department. The highest rank was He Wei, deputy director of the Operations Department.

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek coming, He Wei's mood was hard to express. After all, he had fought with this man for ten years. Chiang Kai-shek walked to He Wei and stopped. He Wei saluted Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek returned the salute casually.

"You are He Wei, Deputy Director He?"

"Yes, He Wei, deputy director of the Operations Department of the U-Simonial Office." He Wei replied loudly.

"I have heard of your name for a long time. You are called Xiao Zhuge in the Fourth Red Army. Mr. Zhang Guotao has a high opinion of you. I want to see you for a long time. Unfortunately, every time I come to the headquarters, you are not here. Today I finally see the true face of Mount Lu." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was intimate, which was very rare. Not only Zhuang Jihua was surprised, but even Chen Cheng and Lin Wei were very surprised.

"The humble job has a false reputation," He Wei said, "I'm worried about it."

"Don't be humble. In the Battle of Lashi, you are the first attack. In the Battle of Hubei and Northern Hubei, you have made great contributions." Chiang Kai-shek was actually quite clear about He Wei's situation. Zhang Guotao, Zhuang Jihua, and Yu Jishi had talked to him. Zhuang Jihua transferred He Wei away. Yu Jishi still disagreed at first. When Chiang Kai-shek went to inspect, Yu Jishi still complained in front of him. It was his complaint that made Chiang Kai-shek start to pay attention to He Wei: "The country uses people in terms of talents. No matter what he has done before, as long as he has talents, the country will use him. Director He, don't have any worries, and boldly display your talents."

"Thank you, Chairman. Please rest assured. You don't dare to have any concerns at your humble position. No matter where you are, you will do your best to contribute to the country!" He Wei's answer was also very earnest, as if he had received Chiang Kai-shek's affection.

"Okay! Very good!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded with a smile, and then led the way into the Lu family courtyard.
