Republic of China game

In the battle of Pingliang, the Second Division of the Youth Army with 2 people attacked the city, while the CCP defended the city with more than 2000 people from an independent regiment of the Production and Construction Corps.Casualties on both sides were basically one to one, with losses of about a thousand people each.The fierce battle lasted from the early morning of the 24th to the dawn of the 25th, almost 24 hours. The independent regiment of the Chinese Communist Army, which had been struggling to support, had no choice but to break out of the encirclement and leave when no reinforcements arrived for a long time.However, the youth army did not pursue, but raised their guns three inches higher and let them go. Perhaps Wang Zixing didn't want to make matters worse, and his goal was only the small territory of Longdong.Because at the same time that Pingliang was fighting fiercely, the border between Ningxia and northern Shaanxi was peaceful and quiet on the western front. Although there was also a division of the youth army confronting the opposite Chinese Communist army, both sides restrained themselves and did not start the first battle. gun.

Although the first battle was successful, Wang Zixing's face was still ashen in Pingliang City.The tenacity shown by the CCP army in this battle was far beyond expectations.It's just a production-oriented garrison corps, which still fights vigorously even when its troops and firepower are at an absolute disadvantage.Even after the city wall was breached, they still relied on Pingliang City to fight with the youth army all night, and only broke through at dawn... The youth army, which has always considered itself the second strongest soldier in China, had to admit after the war that it was The opponent's Chinese Communist Army is the real elite soldier!

Perhaps out of respect for the brave and tenacious enemy, rows of shallow pits have been dug in the open space far away from Pingliang City. The remains of the fallen soldiers of the Youth Army are on the right, and the loyal bones of the sacrificed martyrs of the Chinese Communist Army are on the left. They had the same political stance in life!But the body was wrapped in the same white cloth.The Youth Army arranged the dead bodies as well as possible, and set up tombstones. The youth soldiers who died in battle indicated their identities and places of origin, while the heroes of the Chinese Communist Army could only indicate their unit numbers on the tombstones.

Looking out from the top of Pingliang City, the tombstones made of wood are neatly arranged on the left and right sides, as far as the distance, just like the two armies when they were alive.A four-color youth party flag and the sickle and ax of the CCP fluttered in the wind in front of the two cemeteries.As if to lead the loyal souls of the martyrs on both sides to another earth-shattering fight in another world.

There are too many troops rushing to Pingliang one after another. The commander of the youth army, Wang Zixing, has never had the habit of underestimating his opponents. In order to seize the palm-sized territory of Longdong, he mobilized five divisions of nearly [-] troops!With so many troops, the city has long been unable to accommodate them.Pieces of tent camps were set up outside the city, and the field kitchens began to emit smoke. The army that came from all over the northwest will take a short rest under Pingliang City.Of course, it is also to show the family background. If the opponent can be forced to shrink their troops and abandon Longdong, that would be ideal.What Wang Zixing wants is not to lose out with the CCP.

The army can rest, but the youth party cadres who came with the army cannot rest.Their work has only just begun.The newly seized territory must be established immediately, and those personnel left behind by the CCP must also be screened to see whether they should be expelled or retained.As for... shooting targets, Wang Zixing is not willing to do anything wrong.Today's situation in China can be said to be turbulent. Today's enemy may be tomorrow's ally, and today's ally may aim their guns at themselves tomorrow!

The national government is really too strong now, and South China doesn't know what's going on, so it was tricked into a great power by them!Right now, what the heroes of the north are facing is definitely not a separatist regime that occupies more than half of the country, but a big power that ranks first in the world.Those military observers who published articles in foreign newspapers have listed South China as the top five military powers in the world!Together with Britain, the United States, France, and Italy, it squeezed out Japan's position.

Moreover, Gao Shaojie, the chief representative of the youth army stationed in such a "five major military powers in the world", has hinted to Wang Zixing more than once about the ultimate way out of the youth army... The reason why the youth army exists is because the Kuomintang is unwilling to face the Soviet Union directly. , but to come up with such a buffer out.But right now, they are already the "five major military powers", and the Soviet Union probably can't handle them anymore.What is the significance of the existence of the Youth Army?Even within the youth army, a group of generals from the Whampoa faction showed their willingness to return to the Kuomintang.

Most of these people now have the rank of lieutenant general and major general, and they are also the big brothers of the first phase of Whampoa.Back in the Kuomintang camp, you can definitely keep your military rank and status, and get a generous salary.In the future, as long as the qualifications are stable and stable, there will always be a general in the end.

But Wang’s self-examination of his own status is more subtle. If he brings back the three provinces, the credit will naturally be overwhelming. The land of the three provinces, 20 tigers, and by the way, also cleaned up the ethnic separatists in the Northwest, and integrated all the Northwest ethnic groups into one. The extended Han family.This contribution to the country and the nation will never lose to the Shandong battle!The Battle of Shandong can at most keep South China from being invaded for more than ten years.If the Northwest can be completely integrated into the cultural circle of the Han nationality, this vast land can be preserved for the country forever.Therefore, the current Wang Zixing is already faintly the big brother among Huangpu classmates. If he returns to the Kuomintang, he will definitely not be able to escape with the rank of general, member of the Military Commission, member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee, the Ministry of War or the Deputy Chief of Staff.In the future, relying on his status as the big brother of Huangpu and Luo Yaoguo's confidant status, it should be expected to go further and complete his military career as the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, field marshal, chairman or vice chairman of the Military Commission.

However, Wang Zixing seems to be dissatisfied with such a future. Can a deputy chief of staff of a great power compare with a warlord who dominates one side?And...according to his speculation, the final direction of development of South China is very likely to be a democratic and constitutional country!At that time, if he is elected president, will he be able to compare with the current dictatorship?He has studied in Europe and knows what a president or prime minister of a democratic constitutional country is.In terms of real power and interests, it may not be comparable to the head of a county under the dictatorship!

Fortunately, there is no immediate answer to this question.The most urgent task now is how to stabilize the situation in the northern kingdom that has begun to be chaotic.The youth army's attack was not carried out in the name of crusade against the CCP, but it raised the banner of "armed mediation", claiming to restore peace and stability in the northern country, and prompt the central government and Shanxi to immediately achieve a ceasefire.I just don't know how the CCP will react?If they ignore it... then what should the youth army do next?

The situation in Shanxi is also very delicate now. Although Yan Xishan temporarily guarded Xinkou, and many "landlord armed forces" have emerged in northern Shanxi and Taihang Mountains to deal with the CCP, it seems that the CCP's considerable strength has also been restrained.But no one would think that such a small difficulty would make the CCP give up the Shanxi strategy.Just look for a map and you will know that only when the CCP gets Shanxi, at least most of Shanxi, can it have enough strategic maneuvering space.From a military point of view, the importance of Shanxi to the CCP is definitely above the Zhili Plain!Therefore, it is impossible for the CCP to give up Shanxi easily... But Yan Xishan only has Shanxi as his territory, and it is also his old nest. It seems that there is no way out except to stick to it.As for joining the Kuomintang to become a short-term member.Until the last moment, I probably won't let go!How many people who have tasted the taste of power are willing to be lonely?

……

"Stand at attention!" An officer of the Second Division of the Youth Army, who was digging a trench outside the city, ordered loudly. About one battalion of good guys wore the yellow uniforms of the Youth Army, while others took off their coats and shirts, and their arms were bare. Wielding the engineer shovel to shovel the soil, it was still early in the morning, and these people were already sweating profusely.Now that they heard their boss's password, they straightened their backs one by one, not daring to squint their eyes.

I saw two senior generals in their 30s and a scholar in suits and leather shoes walking in front of them. One of the generals, who was wearing a sharp military uniform slightly different from that of the Youth Army, walked in front, and the other two were half a step behind.However, what the officers and soldiers of the youth army did not expect was that among the two who were half a step behind, there was their supreme commander, General Wang Zixing!At this moment, Commander Wang had a handsome face, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and his eyes were shining coldly, scanning the military postures of these officers and soldiers.

The officer walking in front, who was about the same age as their great commander, General Wang, looked at the officers and soldiers of the youth army with a pleasant smile and nodded frequently.

Oh my god, someone who can walk ahead of the great commander!What kind of greatness should this be?There are still such people in this world!The lower-level officers and soldiers of the youth army were a little confused.In the brainwashing education they have received over the years, they don't know that there is a figure like Luo Yaoguo above Wang Ziexamination.But they knew the black-faced scholar who was walking side by side with Wang Zixing. Isn't that the former leader of the Youth Party, Mr. Zeng Muhan?I have seen this in the photos hanging on the wall in the past, but today I finally saw it alive!

For these little soldiers, Wang Zixing and Zeng Qi are already gods in the sky.Not to mention that there is a fairy leader who is ahead of them.Standing there, these young officers and soldiers didn't dare to breathe, they just felt like they were bathed in divine light.Uh, maybe in another time and space, the young Red Guard generals who were received by the great leader felt the same way, right?

Luo Yaoguo arrived in Pingliang yesterday afternoon, had a rest overnight, and walked around the city wall accompanied by Wang Zixing and Zeng Qi early this morning.But the two in the back also knew that it was time to clarify some things.Maybe now it's just to give Wang Zixing a blow?

After casually looking around, Luo Yaoguo walked towards the dilapidated city wall with his hands behind his back. Wang Zixing and Zeng Qi glanced at each other and followed.The three of them stood on a high place with their hands behind their backs, looking at the neatly arranged camps below.The tents are neatly arranged, as if extending to the horizon.A chilling air surrounded the entire camp.The sun is slowly rising from the east, dispelling the thin morning fog.Although the top of Pingliang City is not high, standing on it and looking into the distance, it seems that the whole earth has surrendered under their feet, and a heroic spirit of asking who is in charge of the vast land surges out from the bottom of the hearts of the three.

"20 tigers, millions of miles of land... This foundation is indeed hard-won. Are you a loyal minister of the party and the country, or the founding king who created the foundation of the world?"

Luo Yaoguo faced the rising sun and muttered to himself with his hands behind his back.Wang Zixing and Zeng Qi could hear clearly from behind, and they were slightly surprised when they heard this.

It is easy to understand the phrase of being a loyal minister of the party and the country. It means handing over the territory and the army, and the rewards... are naturally very generous.It's just that the power and dictatorial power of the King's Landing are no longer there. Even if he can become the president in the future, he is just a leader who is "locked in a cage"!But the latter sentence, what does it mean to be the founding king?China has been in a unified situation since ancient times. It is probably unrealistic for Wang Zixing and the youth army to fight for independence in the northwest and split the motherland, right?Wouldn't he be a sinner through the ages?

If it is not in Northwest China... then where is this eternal foundation?Could it be that we still have to go west?Just like what those communists preached - unite imperialism to invade the socialist motherland, and then cut off a piece of land to build a country that belongs to the self-examination and the youth army!

For a long time, this country will become China's "colony" and "dependent country" to relieve the huge domestic population pressure and land resource shortage.In addition, the ruthlessness of Wang Zixing and the youth army is also very useful for quickly pacifying the newly seized land... and the Kuomintang and the National Government do not have to bear a bad name for this.Uh, they want to take the line of democratic constitutionalism, and they can't do many evil things, or they will end badly if they are exposed in the future.

"Teacher, the students hope to open up territories for the nation!" Wang Zixing didn't hesitate for too long, then stepped forward and announced his choice loudly.

A smirk appeared on the corner of Zeng Qi's mouth: "Jun Hao, Jun Hao, you are always unwilling to live a comfortable life easily, and you have to take the most difficult road..."

Luo Yaoguo turned around suddenly, with complicated eyes, looking at the tragic Wang Zijian: "Jun Hao, I will give you another chance now. If you choose to return to the Kuomintang, I am sure that I can support you in the future to become this The president of the country...well, of course it is the kind of president under the democratic constitutional government, where everyone takes turns to be the president, not a dictatorial president who will die as soon as he does it. What do you think?"

Wang Zixing shook his head lightly: "The elected president...students are not rare, even teachers don't want this president, right?"

Luo Yaoguo sneered, and patted Wang Zixing on the shoulder: "Well, the president of the Republic of China can always find someone to do it. However, not everyone is capable of being the head of a new country in Central Asia. If you don't want to do it, I will I really can't think of who to ask?"

"Can we really defeat the Soviet Union?" There was no smile on Zeng Qi's face at this time, only a little dignified.

"Should be able to defeat!" Luo Yaoguo took a deep breath, turned half-turned to look at the west, and said with a sneer, "It wasn't us who defeated the Soviet Union, but they defeated the Soviet Union! The cooperation I have developed with the Germans these years is not just to strengthen us Myself, and the intention to strengthen Germany! In fact, even without our help, Germany may destroy the Red Empire... Now with our help, their combat preparations have already started early, and the research on various weapons has also begun. Almost ten years ahead of time! There will still be our 200 million troops, and maybe Poland and Japan will join us..."

"...Now Japan is no longer a problem for us. Their resources, land and population are not at the same level as ours. If we fall apart and kill each other, they may be able to succeed for a while. But now...they have nothing to do with us So the real enemy is the Soviet Union. As long as the Soviet Union is destroyed, it should be no problem to deal with Japan. After Germany destroys the Soviet Union...it will definitely not be a problem to defeat Britain and France. 1000 square kilometers is just a takeover! At that time, we will create a [-]-year foundation."

Wang Zixing couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Of course, there was still a little doubt and a little worry: "Teacher... But how should the Chinese Communist Party solve it? They and the Soviet Union...will really fight at that time." , will they..."

"Everyone pushes the wall down!" Luo Yaoguo sneered: "Now that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is powerful, they are using the Communist International to pretend to be the emperor. If they can't bear it anymore, what's the use of them even if they are in their early years? I guess they will probably join in the feast of dividing up the Soviet Union."

"...Although they are the Communist Party, the leader of the Communist Party is the Communist International. Do you think the Chinese Communist Party will move this idea? Grab the name of the Communist International and receive the last legacy of the Soviet Union by the way. For example, Siberia...they should With this power, theoretically the Comintern is the father, the Soviet Union is the elder brother, and the CCP is the second son. If the elder brother dies and there is no son to inherit the family business, it’s okay to have a younger brother!”

Zeng Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh? So this is why Brother Fuwen is unwilling to go to war with the CCP. As soon as the Soviet Union is over, the CCP will naturally turn on the defensive... Maybe peaceful reunification is really possible."

Chapter 0491 Protracted War ([-])

"Where is the CCP so easy to deal with?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at Wang Zixing beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Jun Hao dispatched a hundred thousand troops to attack a small Longdong this time! Brother Mu Han, do you know why?" Zeng Qi thought for a while, and before he had time to answer, Luo Yaoguo asked himself and answered: "It doesn't take so many troops to fight Longdong, but if you want to completely control Longdong, you have to send out a large army. The CCP’s ability to organize and lead the people is the most powerful among all factions in China at the moment! The people are their most powerful weapon.”

There was a sneer at the corner of Zeng Qi's mouth: "Then how can we explain the troubles the CCP has encountered in Shanxi during this period? They seem to be fighting indiscriminately with the people."

Luo Yaoguo looked at Zeng Qi indifferently for a while, and finally shook his head: "You only saw the setbacks encountered by the CCP in Shanxi, but you didn't see the price behind it. With tens of thousands of financial assistance, Chiang Kai-shek got 10,000+ worn-out rifles from the warehouse of the Armament Department, and tens of millions of bullets that could not be fired. Only then did the situation become muddled... However, this situation is only to be maintained. It won't be long."

"Why?" Zeng Qi was startled when he heard the words, and shook his head: "What can the CCP do with these local snakes? They are the twins of man and earth..."

"Jun Hao, what do you think?" Luo Yaoguo looked at Wang Zixing with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Zixing said coldly: "Those armed landlords and bandits do not have a unified leadership and organization. They are just semi-spontaneously making trouble for the CCP. Although they are powerful, they are a group of mobs and cannot make a big impact. But the CCP's guerrillas and underground Party organizations are different, they have a strong party leading them...so the power and staying power of the two are incomparable."

Luo Yaoguo nodded and said with a smile: "Then if the Kuomintang launches the Northern Expedition now, is it possible for them to win?"

"Yes!" Wang Zixing nodded heavily, and then shook his head lightly: "But the price will be very heavy, and it will take a very long time. Now the CCP already has a vast base, 30 regular troops, at least 30 Local armed forces such as the Red Guards and Peasant Self-Defense Forces, as well as hundreds of thousands of party members with firm beliefs! As well as grassroots party organizations in Zhili, Chahar, Suiyuan, northern Shaanxi, northern Shanxi and other places. With the power of the Kuomintang, we must defeat They are easy, but it is too difficult to eliminate them.

To defeat their 30 regular army, four to five reorganized divisions of the Kuomintang army and one aviation division are enough... This is why the CCP dare not tear itself apart with the Kuomintang.But to eliminate the CCP, especially to completely occupy the CCP’s base areas, eradicate the guerrillas there, the CCP’s underground party organization, and the main force that retreated to the mountainous areas is not something that a few divisions with 10,000+ troops can do!It may take millions or even millions of troops for several years to be successful.Such a large military operation will definitely bring about astronomical expenses. I am afraid that the current national government will not be able to afford it, right?

Even... this matter cannot be done by relying on military power at all!Communism is a social problem!As long as there are hundreds of millions of poor people living on the line of abject poverty, the Communist Party's armed struggle may not be completely defeated!Especially on the site where they once took root and sprouted.I think our youth army encountered a lot of trouble in Ningxia at the beginning, and finally adopted... These measures are impossible for a regime that is moving towards a democratic constitutional government.All you can do is to improve people's livelihood and win the hearts of the people, but it is simply unrealistic to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and lead them to a relatively prosperous life without decades of hard work.Therefore, it is more sensible for the Kuomintang not to launch the Northern Expedition now.Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party do not go to war, they are beating wolves with hemp sticks. The two parties are afraid. If they really want to fight, they will have no scruples. Maybe there will be chaos in the south.After all, the boundary line between the two sides is long..."

……

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from the Longdong front that the youth army has raided Pingliang County and defeated one of our independent regiments. Now Pingliang County and some surrounding villages and towns have been controlled by the youth army. The force they dispatched this time seems to be very large. There may be as many as tens of thousands of people! In addition, we have just received a telegram from Wang Zixing, the commander-in-chief of the Youth Army, claiming that this military operation is not to expand the territory, but to use armed forces to mediate the war between us and Yan Xishan... He I hope that both of us can cease fire immediately. In addition, I also received a telegram from Yan Xishan, who has expressed his willingness to accept mediation and wants to negotiate with us..."

Zhao Shiyan, who hurried into the meeting room, finished reading the telegram in his hand, and the members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee who were full seemed to be taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say?The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became low, and even the bright spring light that spilled in from the window seemed gloomy.

During this period of time, the CCP encountered a little trouble in its attack on Shanxi, and is currently busy using fortress tactics to temporarily suppress the harassment tactics of Shanxi landlords and bandits so that they can concentrate on defeating Yan Xishan.According to the reports of the Third Army and the Fourth Route Army... the attack on the Jin army should be resumed in early April.In particular, Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, has already patted his chest after getting a heavy artillery regiment, promising to lay down Xinkou within ten days and knock on the door to go south to Taiyuan!Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the youth army who had been dormant in the northwest actually stabbed the CCP lightly in the back, and even played the signboard of "armed mediation".It’s really abhorrent to get cheap and act good!

"What did Wuhan say?" Zhou Enlai frowned and asked calmly.

"I haven't received any relevant news yet." Zhao Shiyan shook his head.

Zhou Enlai glanced around the conference room, taking in all the expressions of the participants, and finally rested his gaze on Mao Zedong, who was puffing his cigarette: "Runzhi, what do you think about this matter? "

Mao Zedong stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, took a sip of water from his teacup, and then sighed softly: "Since Yan Xishan has responded, our party can't be indifferent, right? I think we can send a telegram to express our willingness to accept Wang Zixing's mediation. But... mediation is mediation and our military operations cannot be stopped! We can fight and talk with Yan Xishan, if Yan Xishan is willing to accept our party's conditions, we can also stop the war."

Everyone in the meeting room couldn't help being a little surprised. Mao Zedong has always been the most staunch main fighter in the CCP, even in the face of the powerful Kuomintang reactionaries.How come you lack confidence against the Youth Army?

"At present, the Kuomintang is sitting on most of the world, and its soldiers and horses are like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period." Mao Zedong smiled slightly, and brought up the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Wang Ming and Comrade Miff hated the most: "And we, Wang Zixing and Zhang Xueliang are like Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang, Yan Xishan, and Wang Zhongyi are people like Han Xuan and Liu Du. Now that Liu Bei is attacking Han Xuan, Sun Quan came out to interfere. What do you think we Liu Bei should do? Go and fight Sun Quan. Can Cao Cao take advantage of both sides? So we can only accept Wang Zixing's mediation first, and sell him to save face. But... we can't just let Yan Xishan go just because of Wang Zixing's words!" Mao Zedong's tone suddenly Emphasis: "Shanxi is the foundation of our country! If we don't take it down, it will not be enough to achieve three-point hegemony. I suggest that the second phase of the Xinkou Battle be launched as scheduled, and we must defeat Yan Xishan as soon as possible and seize Taiyuan."

"But will Wang Zixing further attack northern Shaanxi?" Zhu De frowned and shook his head gently: "The youth army has 20 troops. 10 people. We only have [-] troops left in northern Shaanxi... If northern Shaanxi is lost, our strategic room for maneuver will also be greatly reduced."
