Republic of China game

"En." Luo Yaoguo nodded, and said with a smile: "Shandong has less flat land and more mountainous land, and the cost of land reform is far lower than that of Henan. I estimate that more than 1 million to [-] million French currency will be enough. This time the President is not going to allocate Did you give [-] million yuan to the Land Reform Commission? Let’s just spend a little bit to buy people’s hearts.”

"This matter...do you want to hand it over to the Land Reform Commission?" Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly became gloomy again.

Luo Yaoguo smiled respectfully, and began to count for Lao Jiang with his fingers: "Of course it won't be completely handed over to the Land Reform Commission. Shandong is a 'war zone'. How can the civilian staff of the Land Reform Commission control it? My The idea is that there are more than 74 counties in Shandong, we don’t need them north of the Yellow River, and there are [-] counties in the south of the Yellow River. Excluding the surrounding area of ​​Jinan, one county and one battalion need at most [-] battalions of security forces. These troops are drawn from Anhui and Jiangsu provinces , and then each battalion will be assigned personnel from the Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau and Military Intelligence Bureau, cadres from the Land Reform Commission, and military police from the Gendarmerie Command, and they will be sent to the counties to establish political power and announce our policies. At the same time, we will incorporate local armed forces Expand the anti-Japanese armed forces with the stragglers of the Anhui faction... In this way, most of the territory in Shandong will belong to us in two or three months at most."

Chiang Kai-shek frowned, as if he was thinking hard about gains and losses. After a long while, he sighed softly: "Fuwen, you, why do you have to make simple things so complicated. Sigh... whatever, That's it. Oh, by the way, have you figured out who will take the overall responsibility?"

"Let Deng Zesheng and Jiang Jingran (Jiang Guangnai) go, they are leftists, and they should be more experienced in doing this kind of thing." Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and said the candidates he had already prepared in his heart.

Chiang Kai-shek sneered twice: "You, Luo Fuwen, are broad-minded. Are you not afraid that they will turn Shandong into a leftist base?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and said with a smile: "This is a temporary negligence of the staff department. Fortunately, Mr. Jie reminded us in time. Otherwise, Mr. Feng Zibing and Wu Ziliang should go too. With them watching, Deng Zesheng and the others will not be able to build up their influence." Come. After the matter is over, let's..."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction: "This arrangement should be foolproof, then let's report to the President at the Moshan Mansion."

……

Zhou Enlai had just returned to the headquarters of the CPC Central Committee in Wangjialing, Yan'an, when he heard the news that the Kuomintang planned to "buy" Shandong with money.What made him a little bit dumbfounded was, why does this idea of ​​the Kuomintang sound so familiar?It was "land reform" and "encircling the cities from the countryside".Aren't these words that Comrade Mao Zedong kept on his lips every day?Right now, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has not decided whether to "encircle the cities from the countryside" or "encircle the countryside from the cities", but the Kuomintang has taken the lead... It's really too reactionary!

"Enlai, you came just in time." Mao Zedong saw Zhou Enlai walking into the cave, and hurriedly greeted him: "This time, the tiger of the Kuomintang seems to be trying to imitate our cat's ability to climb trees. Tell me how we should deal with it?"

Zhou Enlai casually found a chair and sat down, twitched his bushy eyebrows, and smiled wryly: "It's not easy to handle. They are rich and powerful now, and they directly spent [-] million French coins to carry out land reform in Shandong. Haha, this is spending money to buy people's hearts." What! It’s still Japanese money. It’s a clever trick!”

After hearing Zhou Enlai's comments, the members of the Politburo who were meeting in the cave shook their heads and sighed.It was well planned, taking advantage of the Japanese invasion and the loss of the country, to send the Red Army behind enemy lines to establish political power.But now there is a business grabber... and he is still a rich and powerful owner, and he directly spends money to open the way to play "acquisition".Comparing the two, the CCP seems to have no advantage.

Originally, the CCP’s plan was to “reduce rent and interest rates” first, and then divide the land to fight against landlords after the war is over... But the people immediately announced that they would divide the land. Isn’t this popular feeling won over immediately? ?But if the CCP also directly participates in the big feast of land reform, they will not be able to pay the landlords for compensation, and they will even copy the landlord's home!This is bound to be desperately resisted by the landlord class, and it will become a civil war. Will the Japanese still resist?

"If our army rubs against the Kuomintang army behind enemy lines..." Mao Zedong suddenly discovered another serious problem at this time.He looked at Zhou Enlai solemnly: "Enlai, do you think there is such a possibility?"

"Friction... in the enemy's rear?" Zhou Enlai frowned and took a deep breath: "At this time when the nation is in peril, if they dare to fight us in the enemy's rear, public opinion and people from all factions across the country will definitely support us! So I think , this possibility is not great. But...it will be hard to say after the war is over."

"They won't?" Mao Zedong took a puff of cigarette and sneered: "These Kuomintang rightists are here to grab the territory! Isn't it the use of force to grab the territory? I'm afraid that the local governments in Anhui Province, whether it is Instead of retreating, they will take the site without hesitation, right?"

Chapter 0413 Anti-Japanese Allied Forces

March 17, 25th year of the Republic of China.

On the platform of the Jinan Railway Station, the guard of honor and the military band were lined up neatly, and the guns, brass instruments and the epaulettes of the generals were shining in the sunlight.The military generals and officials of the Beiyang and Anhui families stood on the side of the platform with their chests and belly protruding. Everyone kept their grace and demeanor, but reserved and whispered to each other, and looked around in the direction of the train coming in from time to time.

Waiting for a long time, the roar of the train whistle came from the west, pulling the special car of General Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Army, panting heavily, dragging thick smoke, and slowly entered the rich Baroque building in Jinan City. style train station.Immediately, the drums and music rang together, resounding through the sky, and the applause was thunderous, attracting the attention of thousands of people.Duan Qirui, the head of the Anhui Department in the uniform of the Generalissimo of the Army and Navy, led his subordinates to clean up their clothes, stood on the platform, and looked into the slowly moving carriage, hoping to catch a glimpse of the demeanor of Commander Feng who led the Shandong War of Resistance as soon as possible. .Unexpectedly, all the civil and military officials were sitting in Feng's carriage, except Feng Yuxiang himself.Duan Qirui and everyone from the Anhui Department wondered, where is Commander-in-Chief Feng?Could it be that he had run away after hearing about the strength of the Japanese army?At this time, Feng Yuxiang's entourage saw the welcome crowd visiting the carriage, so they pointed to the rear carriage with their fingers.Duan Qirui and others walked towards the back of the slowly moving train. It turned out that the rear compartment was not a passenger car, but a luggage car.I saw a burly man in common clothes and bare shoes standing at the door of the iron car, smiling and waving to the welcoming crowd.This person is the savior that the Shandong people are looking forward to at the moment, General Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Army.

Seeing that the savior was still there, Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang beside him looked at each other, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.When the train came to a complete stop, Duan Qirui hurriedly greeted Feng Yuxiang who walked a few steps away from the luggage compartment.

"Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the humble Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, reports to Mr. Zhi." Feng Yuxiang stood at attention, and neatly gave a standard military salute to Duan Qirui, and a humble smile appeared on his fierce, fat face .

"How dare, how dare." Duan Qirui just smiled lightly, seeing this Feng Yuxiang, he couldn't help thinking of Xu Shuzheng who died in Beijing in early 14th of the Republic of China.Although Feng Yuxiang never admitted that he was responsible for this incident, everyone in the world has already determined that he is the murderer.But right now the whole of Shandong is looking forward to this "murderer" to be rescued. With the national crisis at stake, personal grievances can no longer be bothered.

Duan Qirui took Feng Yuxiang's hand and said with a smile: "General Huanzhang, now you are the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and all the anti-Japanese troops in Shandong respect you, even the old man is now your subordinate. Don't call it a humble job in front of the old man, only President Sun who sits in Wuhan can afford this right now."

Feng Yuxiang smiled coldly: "In my eyes, the real No.1 in China is you, Zhi Lao, and you will always be my Feng Yuxiang's chief!" Speaking of this, Feng Yuxiang gave another standard and respectful military salute.

Duan Qirui laughed, patted Feng Yuxiang's arm and said with a smile: "With General Huanzhang's words, I, Duan Qirui, will be satisfied. Huanzhang, to be honest, I am old, and Lu Zijia is not young anymore. Look Among our juniors in Beiyang, you are the only one who can really provoke the leader. Zijia and I have already discussed that after the victory of the Shandong War of Resistance this time, we will retire and not care about world affairs. There are still people in this Shandong province. ...The elite of our five Beiyang divisions are all entrusted to you, this burden is not light! Huanzhang, you must not refuse."

Feng Yuxiang took a deep breath, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and with the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lu Yongxiang, who was smiling and nodding next to him, for a moment he didn't know how to answer...

……

At about the same time, the convoy of Luo Yaoguo, commander-in-chief of the Shandong Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army, also slowly drove into the Garden Hotel on Datong Street, Xuzhou.Now this first-class hotel in Xuzhou is guarded by armed guards, and the roof of the hotel is covered with radio antennas.In and out of the hotel lobby are staff officers in military uniforms, and a huge sand table model of Shandong Province has been placed in the center of the lobby.Huge military maps hang on the walls on both sides, and this place seems to be a former enemy general headquarters.

"Junzuo, according to the information, the second, fifth, and sixth divisions of the Japanese army have now completed their mobilization and started boarding the ship one after another. Calculate the voyage, and they will land in Qingdao in two days."

In a conference room on the second floor of the hotel, Luo Yaoguo, Li Zongren, the deputy commander of the front army, Bai Chongxi, the chief of staff of the front army, and other high-level front army officers were sitting or standing, listening to the report of Sun Yuanliang, the intelligence chief of the front army, with serious faces.

In this time and space, China's intelligence work on Japan is no longer blank.It seems that such a thing that has been played for a long time without even knowing the number of the opponent will not happen.Because of "supporting" the Korean Independence Army and the Korean Red Army, through their lurking eyeliners all over Japan, the Military Intelligence Bureau can almost completely grasp the mobilization and preparations of various Japanese permanent divisions.These Japanese divisions are also usually dissatisfied with their members. If they really want to go out to fight the current Chinese Kuomintang army, they will inevitably have to mobilize and make up for it.

"What did Duan Qirui say? Are we still not allowed to enter Shandong?" Luo Yaoguo asked calmly after listening to the report.This time Duan Qirui seemed to have seen the conspiracy of the Kuomintang, and he said nothing to agree with the Kuomintang army stationed in Shandong.He also declared that the defense of Shandong would be borne solely by the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and that the Kuomintang army must obey the unified command of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army General Headquarters... Otherwise, Shandong will not be responsible for any "misunderstanding".As the master, Luo Yaoguo is naturally helpless when it comes to this point. Right now, Zang Zhiping of the Anhui Department is commanding two divisions to strictly guard the borders of Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan!It's not easy for him to order troops to fight over, right?

"Mr. Duan Zhi still insisted on not letting us in. Their reply said that unless we agreed to accept Feng Huanzhang's command, otherwise..." Deng Yanda, who was in charge of contacting all parties and directing the land reform, stood up and replied.

Luo Yaoguo nodded noncommittally, and asked again: "So how many troops does the Anti-Japanese Allied Army have now? How is the equipment?"

Sun Yuanliang stood up again, made a military salute, picked up a document he had prepared and began to report: "The composition of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army is very complicated. What we have so far is that there is Feng Yuxiang's National Alliance Army, including Yang Huchen, Deng Xihou, Liu Zhenhua's troops have a total strength of about 15; five divisions of Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui Faction have about 5 troops; Zhang Zongchang's army sent by the Feng Faction has about 2 people; the main force of the Red Army's Second Front Army is about 3 A total of about 25 troops. In addition, more than 2 people from the Third Division directly under Wu Peifu are now stationed in Beijing to prevent the Japanese army from making a surprise attack from Tianjin... The preparations of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are generally poor, but we have agreed before Supplement a batch of weapons and equipment for the CCP and National Coalition Army, and if all these weapons are in place, the situation should improve."

"Oh, aren't those weapons and equipment in place yet?" Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly.

Sun Yuanliang shrugged: "Not yet."

"Oh... Got it, let's talk about where their troops are." Luo Yaoguo shook his head slowly, already guessing a general idea in his heart.It is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek gave the order to the Joint Logistics Command to withhold the supplies for the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army.

"We don't know where the CCP's Red Army has gone, but it must have not passed through Zhangjiakou. Most of the 15 Nationalist Allied Forces have already arrived in Tongguan, where they will take a train to Jinan. It will take about five to ten days to arrive one after another. Fengjun Zhang Zongchang's troops have arrived in Jinan first. Right now, Jinan City is surrounded by three divisions of Anhui troops and more than 2 Zhang Zongchang's troops, a total of 6 to 48 troops. The artillery consists of two mountain artillery regiments with a total of 75 units. [-]mm mountain cannon." Sun Yuanliang finished talking about the positions of the various units of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army in a tone that was almost a eulogy, and then stood there looking at Luo Yaoguo.

It was quiet in the room, and everyone had the same thought, that something might happen to them.The Japanese can reach Qingdao in at most two days, which is a serious port!The three divisions plus all the equipment will definitely be able to land in three days.Then it will take another three days to reach the city of Jinan!Back and forth is eight days.At that time, the Anti-Japanese Allied Army might not have arrived yet!Not to mention how many fortifications there can be.And now that old Jiang has withheld their weapons and ammunition...

Luo Yaoguo looked at Deng Yanda, who had a livid face, and didn't know whether he was worried for the people of Shandong, or for Feng Yuxiang, the anti-Japanese leader.

"Brother Zesheng." Luo Yaoguo said in a cold and calm tone: "Go and send a telegram to Feng Yuxiang to inform the basic situation of the Japanese army. In addition... the formation and training of the land reform task force should also be stepped up. Complete within days."

"Jun Zuo." Deng Yanda hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "We can't do nothing now! At least we can transport some weapons into Jinan City to help the Anti-Japanese Allied Army there! They... are also anti-Japanese troops! "

Luo Yaoguo just glanced at Deng Yanda indifferently, with the standard appearance of an emotionless and cold-blooded chief of staff: "General Zhesheng, I am only the chief of staff of the National Revolutionary Army, not the master of the National Revolutionary Army! How do you manage the weapons and ammunition of the troops? There are strict disciplines, and I have no right to give them to others for any reason! Well, the meeting is over here, and I will invite everyone to dinner tonight."

Deng Yanda sighed deeply, stomped his feet, and ran out without looking back, to send a telegram to Feng Yuxiang.He also knew that the reasons Luo Yaoguo gave were high-sounding, and it was useless to grind his mouth.Moreover, the National Revolutionary Army in this time and space has almost been transformed into a strictly disciplined "nationalized" army.As the chief of the general staff, Luo Yaoguo really has no right to give away the army's weapons and ammunition!Of course, sending it through the Military Intelligence Agency is another matter.

……

Jinan, Warlord's Office.In the flower hall, a casual banquet is going on to a lively time.

Above the banquet, the heat was steaming.A mutton hot pot with tumbling white waves is placed in the middle, surrounded by eight treasures, cold, hot, sour and sweet, gathered at the table.

"General Huanzhang, how do you plan to defend our Shandong this time?" Duan Qirui approached with an old face, and asked about the war in Shandong, his words seemed a little anxious.

Feng Yuxiang frowned, and his face was a little heavy: "Old Zhi. In this battle, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Therefore, our tactics can only be to stick to the provincial capital Jinan with the main force. Then we will go deep into the enemy's rear with a strong force. , destroying and attacking the Japanese invaders’ logistical supply lines.”

"...Shandong is mostly hilly and mountainous. Our Jinan is surrounded by hills. If we carefully build fortifications, it can be regarded as dangerous. To the east of Jinan are Lushan, Yishan, Mengshan and other mountains from south to north. .As long as we can seize these three mountains with a powerful force, we can effectively threaten the Japanese army’s logistics supply line, making it impossible to concentrate on attacking Jinan. In this way, we have the opportunity to drag this Sino-Japanese war into a protracted war... Small land of Japan Poverty is definitely not a protracted war. And the European and American powers definitely don’t want the war between China and Japan to be endless, which will affect their interests in China. Therefore, as long as the war becomes protracted, it will inevitably be a draw in the end, and we Shandong will naturally be preserved."

Duan Qirui nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said again: "According to the information provided by the Kuomintang, the Japanese army will dispatch three divisions of about 5 troops this time! Their offensive route should be westward along the Jiaoji Railway, only They need to pass through the foot of Mount Lu. If they use one division to maintain the safety of the logistics line, the powerful one that General Huanzhang said should be useless? Can the remaining [-] Japanese troops take Jinan City?"

Feng Yuxiang glanced at Duan Qirui, who was already looking a bit old-fashioned, with a hint of admiration on his face: "Old Zhi is indeed a senior in the military, and he can see the tactics of the Japanese army at a glance. We have already calculated the situation you always said The ratio of our Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to the Japanese Army can be at least five to one? Then the 25 Allied Army can be equal to the 25 Japanese Army. Moreover, we are holding on to the danger and have at least double the geographical advantage , so 8 allied troops can beat [-] Japanese troops! But this time, only [-] Japanese soldiers survived, and we are still sure to win! Please rest assured, Mr. Zhi.”

Feng Yuxiang had just finished speaking.At the banquet, a person patted the table and yelled loudly in Shandong dialect: "His grandma's, aren't they the little nose soldiers in the East! What's there to be afraid of? Five people beat up one of them. Are you the Anti-Japanese Allied Army?" Gentlemen? Our Zhilu coalition army will not participate in such a cowardly army."

The person who spoke was also the same as Feng Yuxiang, tall and big, with a sloppy face and a mustache.It was Zhang Zongchang who proclaimed himself the commander-in-chief of the Zhilu coalition forces.This time he brought six brigades plus two echelons of 6000 people, including about 5000 people from the Belarusian army!It is said to be well-equipped and powerful in combat.With such elite soldiers to rely on, Zhang Zongchang naturally didn't pay attention to the rustic Feng Yuxiang.At this moment, simply take advantage of Jiuxing to openly challenge the authority of Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Army!

A trace of murderous look flashed across Feng Yuxiang's face, and he was calm again in a blink of an eye.He picked up the wine glass and walked to Zhang Zongchang, and said with a smile: "So it's Brother Xiaokun. A hero like Brother Xiaokun is in Jinan, so the Japanese devils are naturally nothing to worry about. The younger brother will respect Brother Xiaokun for a glass on behalf of the elders in Shandong. "

"Don't dare to do it, dare not do it!" Zhang Zongchang sneered twice: "The Shandong elders don't know what kind of crimes they have suffered, and they want to be represented by someone who has been in trouble for many years? Hehe, at least I, a Shandong native, am not convinced! "

These words were already full of gunpowder, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became tense.
