Yang Yongtai had a wicked smile on his face: "That's natural. Besides, Mr. Jie, it's not that you don't want to save the Communist Party, but you want to personally direct the rescue."

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and frowned again: "There are only two of our divisions in western Liaoning, and it seems that they are not enough to undertake the rescue mission..."

Yang Yongtai smiled: "I will fly to Beijing in person tomorrow morning to meet Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong of the Communist Party, and explain the interests to them. I believe they can agree to let us transport another division to western Liaoning through the Jinpu line. At the same time, Longkou Port is now also It can be activated, and according to the plan, the first mountain brigade will be transported to Huludao, so they can start ahead of schedule.”

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said with a sneer, "Can the Communist Party agree to transfer our direct line troops to the west of Liaoning through their territory? I don't think they will agree! But we can't just watch the anti-Japanese soldiers sacrifice in vain just because they don't agree. Right? The anti-Japanese soldiers are innocent and should not suffer undue casualties because of political party disputes! Changqing, go and tell Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong that we will not use direct line troops, but only transfer Jin troops from Shanxi, so that they will always You should be relieved, right?"

Yang Yongtai looked at Lao Jiang with admiration in his eyes, straightened his back, and replied solemnly: "I understand, I believe the Communist Party will also understand your difficulties. Alas... If the Communist Party can also be like you Similarly, if you are wholeheartedly for the country, how can you come to the current situation?"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded triumphantly, and then ordered: "You go and call Hu Zhangong, tell him about the Communist Party being surrounded, and ask him to hold a meeting of the presidium to discuss sending me to the west of Liaoning to preside over the rescue. Well, there is also the use of the Jin army. Orders must also be issued in the name of the presidium, otherwise Yan Baichuan will evade in every possible way."

At this time, Yang Yongtai had nothing to say, and he was about to leave after saluting: "Jiegong, I will make arrangements for you, and send a telegram to Luo Fuwen in Huludao, asking him to prepare quickly so that you can go to command .”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and nodded, watching Yang Yongtai staggered back, he suddenly remembered something, and called Yang Yongtai again.

"Jie Gong, what else do you want?"

"Let Luo Fuwen arrange another press conference, which will be held at the headquarters in Huludao. We want to show the people of the whole country our determination to unite and resist Japan! Uh... After the press conference, we will hold a swearing-in meeting... Let's do it for now .”

……

Liaoxi, Huludao.

Field Marshal of the National Revolutionary Army, Chairman of the Military Commission and Minister of the Army Chiang Kai-shek, in neat military uniform, surrounded by a large group of Kuomintang generals, strode into the hall of the Office of the Minister of the United Command.

This hall has now been arranged to look like a press conference, and it has long been filled with all kinds of Chinese and foreign reporters.As Chiang Kai-shek approached, there was warm applause in the hall.

Luo Yaoguo was following half a step behind Chiang Kai-shek, but at this moment his face was full of helplessness.In fact, he had just returned to Huludao. Yesterday afternoon, when he heard the news of the Japanese army appearing near Chaoyang, he immediately realized that there was a major crisis in the battle on the northern front!The main force of the communist army in Beipiao is already in trouble.To be honest, at this time Luo Yaoguo really didn't think much about the poisonous plan to kill with a knife... Immediately, he gave the order to dispatch troops to rescue.The elite No.11 Division of the National Revolutionary Army was mobilized immediately, and the [-] army was ready that night. Luo Yaoguo personally supervised and led it, and marched towards the northwest!However, he had not gone far before he received an order jointly issued by the Military Commission and the Kuomintang Presidium.When Luo Yaoguo saw the telegram handed over by the deputy chief Luo Shun, Luo Yaoguo almost lost his temper!The telegram stated that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Military Commission would go to Huludao to personally command the army to rescue the besieged Communist Eighth Route Army and Seventeenth Route Army in his busy schedule!If you want him to prepare quickly, what kind of press conference and swearing-in meeting will be held!Haven't they heard of the fact that saving soldiers is like fighting a fire?

And Chiang Kai-shek, the worst and worst in China... is coming to save the Eighth Route Army!This thing is really weird!

"I'm Edgar Snow, a reporter from the London Daily Herald." Not long after the press conference started, Luo Yaoguo heard a familiar name!He followed the voice and saw a young western reporter with an oversized nose and a beautiful beard asking questions:

"Chairman Jiang, your party already has a well-known marshal in Huludao commanding the coalition forces, and now that you have come all the way to Huludao, does this mean that your party's presidium will replace the commander of the joint command?" ?”

"There is no such arrangement. I came here to Western Liaoning just to urge the troops to rescue the two communist route armies who were besieged in Beipiao as soon as possible. I will not intervene in the rest of the combat missions. I will return to Wuhan immediately after the siege is completed." Lao Jiang His answer was clean and tidy. In fact, he didn't have much interest in the war in Northeast China. All he was interested in was saving the Communist Party.

"Chairman Chiang, what's your comment on the slow progress of the ongoing negotiations on the peaceful reunification of the North and the South?" Another Western reporter then asked.

After the war broke out on 9.18, the Beijing government and the Wuhan government started negotiations on peaceful reunification. Bogu, who had just returned from Moscow, came forward to negotiate on behalf of the Communist Party, while the representative of the Kuomintang was Xie Chi, head of the Political Department of the Military Commission. The first time they met, there was a lot of quarrel. This negotiation is probably hopeless.

"Our Kuomintang has great sincerity towards peaceful reunification, as evidenced by this year's Battle of Shanxi. Our Kuomintang army won the Battle of Xugou with absolute superiority and broke the siege of Taiyuan, but we did not take advantage of the victory to destroy the Communist army , and did not expand the war to unify China by force. This all shows that we are sincere about peaceful reunification. The responsibility for the problems encountered in the negotiations now does not lie with me, but with their Communist Party. But even so, we still hold the greatest Sincerely unite with the Communist Party to the outside world." Chiang Kai-shek spoke with confidence, and Luo Yaoguo, who was on the side, couldn't help thinking of Zhou Enlai of the CCP.

"Chairman Chiang, would the Nationalist government mobilize more National Revolutionary Army troops to take part in this rescue operation through the Communist Party's controlled areas?" asked a beautiful female reporter from the "Red Star Newspaper".

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and shook his head: "We are here to resist Japan, not to grab territory, so we will not take advantage of the dangers of others to increase the garrison in western Liaoning. However, the battle to relieve the siege will definitely require troops, so we will dispatch the Jin army from Shanxi Province, They are not the National Revolutionary Army, so it should be easier for the Communist Party to accept them, right?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Luo Yaoguo's face, but he gritted his teeth to keep himself from laughing out loud.How come this old Jiang has learned badly now?It seems that Sister Song Yu's rescue of him has completely failed, and I don't know what weird arrangements will be made in the battle meeting later?

……

"Increase troops! Send the Third Route Army and the Fourth Route Army! We can't pin our hopes on Luo Yaoguo." Mao Zedong put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, then took out another cigarette and lit it, his brows still deep. Lock.The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has been held since last night. Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden changes on the front line in western Liaoning, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely depressed.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Western Liaoning, although the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army have suffered heavy losses, they have withstood the powerful Japanese army after all. Not only have they successfully defended the base area in Western Liaoning, but the Communist Party has also won great prestige throughout the country.Even in the south, which was firmly controlled by the Kuomintang reactionaries, the CCP’s underground party organization also developed.Just when everyone was rejoicing, the Japanese devils knocked over with a sap, and everyone felt dizzy with stares in their eyes.Speaking of which, it was also Luo Yaoguo's fault, the Chinese revolution in this time and space was a bit too smooth...

"It is impossible for the Kuomintang to rescue the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army sincerely." Mao Zedong's face was a little dignified, and his eyes were almost burning.The Eighth Route Army is the foundation of the Red Front Army, an old army brought out by Mao Zedong, and of course the most elite main force of the CCP.He glanced at Zhou Enlai, who also had a serious expression on his face: "On the one hand, we have to find a way to unite with General Zhang Xueliang, and on the other hand, we have to use the Fourth Route Army. Only our own troops can be relied on at critical moments."

Zhou Enlai nodded: "The Third Route Army and the Fourth Route Army have set off one after another." He hesitated for a while as he spoke, "I want Comrade Li Jishen to be the commander-in-chief of these two Route Armies. He is a soldier and has experience in fighting the Japanese army."

Li Lisan nodded slightly, and looked at Wang Ming and Xiang Ying again. Wang Ming had been expressionless since the meeting started and did not say a word, while Xiang Ying kept her head down and shed tears—he is the chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. !It was he who ordered Zhu De to fight the Japanese army in Beipiao.

"I think it's okay, and Deng Yanda can be the chief of staff." Mao Zedong sighed softly. Among the generals of the CCP, Zhu De and Peng Dehuai are all in Beipiao, and Ye Ting was sent to Changbai Mountain because of Wang Ming's purge. Going to fight guerrillas, He Long... not very reassuring after the Shandong battle, and there is another Wang Zhongyi who looks quite capable of fighting.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and then Zhao Shiyan came in from the outside with a slightly strange expression on his face.

"Prime Minister, there is news from Wuhan that Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Kuomintang Military Commission, has arrived in Huludao in person, and is preparing to...command troops to rescue the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army. Moreover, Yang Yongtai, the secretary-general of the Kuomintang Military Commission, also flew to Beijing , He said that he represented the Kuomintang to negotiate with us about moving troops northward to relieve the siege. In addition, the Kuomintang also proposed to mobilize the Jin army from Shanxi to go north to help us relieve the siege.”

"What!" The leaders of the CCP present all exclaimed in unison.The Communist Party besieged them in the city of Taiyuan during the Battle of Shanxi in the first half of the year, but now they are dispatched to rescue the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army?What is Chiang Kai-shek's heart!

……

At the same time, the press conference in the Huludao Joint Command has been successfully concluded, and Chiang Kai-shek has started to hold a military meeting.

"Committee, according to Air Force reconnaissance, at least one division of the Japanese army has occupied Chaoyang County and the nearby mountains, and is currently constructing fortifications. And there is news from Beipiao that the CCP's Eighth Route Army and Seventeenth Route Army have captured at least one Japanese army. The three divisions are encircled, but they currently have enough food and ammunition, and their positions are strong, and they should be able to last for seven to eight days..."

Luo Yaoguo stood in front of the map hanging on the wall with a pointer, and introduced to Chiang Kai-shek the current situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning, especially around Beipiao and Chaoyang.Although he didn't believe in Lao Jiang's sincerity in rescuing the Communist army at all, he still had to do the superficial stuff of routine.

Lao Jiang smiled and nodded, his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the party-state champions in the conference room, and finally stopped on Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the No.11 Division: "General You Qing, this battle was originally fought by Your eleventh division is leading the battle, do you have any ideas?"

Luo Zhuoying snapped a foothold: "The humble No.11 division promises to conquer Chaoyang within five days, and reach Beipiao within seven days to rescue those Communists!"

Chiang Kai-shek was still smiling all over his face, and kept nodding his head: "Good! The No. 11 Division is indeed the elite of the party and the country, good! Good!" However, he did not give the order to attack, but turned his attention to Yu Hanmou, the commander of the first division: "Wo Qi Is the general sure? Is the First Division ready?"

Because this first division was broken out by the Japanese army in the Battle of Jinan, it is currently recognized as the weakest unit in the Kuomintang army, and this chubby Yu Hanmou is often ridiculed by his Cantonese colleagues because he loves to cry. look.

"This..." Yu Hanmou's brows were wrinkled, his fat head was drooping, and he really looked like he had pustules.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with a smile, and pointed at Yu Hanmou: "General Weiqi, the first division of the First World War in Shandong did not fight well, and this time the battle to relieve the siege just happened to be a shameful one! So I decided to entrust this glorious task to your first division." teacher."

Yu Hanmou was taken aback when he heard the words, his first division is still deployed on the front line of Tashan, how could it be possible to call it out?However, Chiang Kai-shek continued with a smile: "Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. It cannot be delayed for a day! It takes time for our first division to mobilize... Can the Northeast Army go first! Give General Zhang Hanqing an order to ask his fifth Let the Lu army go first." He turned his head to look at Fu Zuoyi again: "General Fu Yisheng, right?"

Fu Zuoyi also stood at attention, his military posture extremely upright: "Fu Zuoyi, commander of the Second Division of the Jin Army."

Lao Jiang clapped his hands: "Okay! You really are a good guy! I heard that your Jin Second Division is the leader in the Jin army. Can you fight this time?"

"Yes!" Fu Zuoyi replied loudly.

"Okay!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded, looking at Fu Zuoyi's eyes full of admiration: "Then General Yisheng's Jin Second Division and General Yiqi's First Division will dispatch together. General Yisheng will be the commander in chief of the former enemy."

With an order, the whole audience was shocked.Everyone, including Luo Yaoguo, stared at Chiang Kai-shek dumbfounded.In this time and space, the combat effectiveness of the National Revolutionary Army is definitely the standard of the armies of European powers!And the Jin army is similar to the history, so the Kuomintang generals look down on the Jin army at all... let alone obey the command of a Jin army general!Even Fu Zuoyi himself finds this kind of thing absurd.

Seeing the questioning eyes of the generals under his command, Chiang Kai-shek's face sank, and he said coldly: "The key to the Northeast Anti-Japanese War this time is unity! The key to unity is equality, whether it is the Kuomintang army, the Jin army, the Northeast army, or the Communist Party. , or the Anti-Japanese Alliance, all anti-Japanese armed forces are equal, regardless of superiority! Since the Jin army can obey the command of our Kuomintang generals, why can't our National Revolutionary Army fight under the command of General Fu Yisheng?"

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek raised his face, and the generals below were silent for a while, Lao Jiang stood up: "I hope General Fu Yisheng and General Yu Yuqi will speak the spirit of sincerity and unity, fight bravely, beat the Japanese invaders, and save the friendly army from danger!"

Chapter 0532 fierce soldiers in western Liaoning (five) what to save you?

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The bomb exploded on the ground, and the entire Beipiao County was shrouded in smoke and flames.Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, more than a dozen Type [-] light blasters painted with the rising sun roared and swooped down from high altitude. With a slight shake of the fuselage, another string of bombs was dropped, and a row of huge bombs rose on the ground. fireball.

"Bah! Bah!" Zhu De shook the dust off his body, spit out forcefully, looked up at the Japanese plane that was fading away, and cursed bitterly: "Where are the damn Kuomintang planes hiding!" Seventeen Cai Tingkai, Chief of Staff of the Route Army, also ran from hiding. His head was wrapped in white gauze, his face was black and white from the smoke, and he looked a bit embarrassed.

Seeing the Japanese plane going away, groups of soldiers emerged from the rubble. They began to search for the wounded in the ruins, and cries for help came from everywhere.

"How is Chaheyingzi?" Zhu De didn't care about it, he just stared at the map and asked without even raising his hand.

"Xiao Jinguang is still standing firm, and the little devil who attacked him has a brigade." Cai Tingkai wiped the smoke and dust from his face with his sleeve, and said breathlessly, "Boss, Chief of Staff Liu just sent a telegram from Huludao, saying it was from the Kuomintang. The Chairman of the Military Commission, Chiang Kai-shek, has personally settled in Huludao, saying that he wants to urge the troops to rescue us."
