Republic of China game

"I don't agree with this suggestion." Zhao Zheng, the captain of the Zhongshan, grunted seriously in a sarcastic tone, and then said: "The construction started in [-]. When will it be completed? It will take [-] years anyway." Right? At that time, the engine of the aircraft will have exceeded [-] horsepower, maybe there will be [-] or [-] horsepower! At that time, we will directly block the Taiwan Strait with aircraft? What is the use of battleships? "

After hearing the discussion of these two people, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help nodding, obviously he had gained something.Taiwan!Definitely want to get it back as soon as possible!Otherwise, the entire southern country will be completely exposed to the Japanese bayonet.During this period of time, while the war was going on in Shanxi in the north, the Japanese army was also gathering troops in Taiwan, and almost four divisions were transported from the mainland to Taiwan.For this reason, there was a lot of chaos in the Military Committee of the National Government, and everyone was nervous.Luo Yaoguo personally went to Guangdong to inspect, more or less there were factors in this regard.In addition, with the further development of aviation technology, it will not take long for bombers flying from Taiwan to cover Guangdong and Shanghai, including all the major heavy industrial bases in southern China.If this island is not taken... many of his plans will be impossible to talk about.

If there is still some inertia in the history of this time and space, Germany should have initially prepared for war in [-]!They may unite with Poland, or some other Northeastern European countries.Gather millions of troops, use powerful armored divisions as the blade, and rush to the Soviet Union with murderous intent!And China will also participate in the carve-up of this red imperialism.Therefore, the Taiwan question must be resolved before [-]!It would be best to take it down in [-], and at the same time severely damage the Japanese Navy.

To achieve this goal, the navy should retain at least four battleships, supplemented by a powerful naval aviation.And two of the four battleships currently under construction will be resold to Germany after it regains its armaments... It seems that it is necessary to secretly build two battleships.

……

At this time, Shanxi, especially the Taihang Mountain area at the junction with Zhili, had gradually fallen into a state of anarchy.The development of the situation was completely beyond the expectations of both the CCP and Yan Xishan.I don't know when, all kinds of armed landlords and bandits began to emerge in the Taihang Mountains!

The initiators of these indiscriminate armed forces were often the local tyrants and evil gentry in the Taihang Mountains or the old bandits who occupied the mountains as kings, and some were "fugitive landlords" who came from the opposite Zhili territory.These various motley armed forces seem to be supported by the Wuhan Kuomintang authorities. Many people openly unfurled the blue sky and white sun flag, and even claimed to be the commander of the "Anti-Communist National Salvation Army"!I don't know if it was sealed by Chiang Kai-shek?After Yan Xishan's forces withdrew from remote mountainous areas, they sprung up one after another like mushrooms after the rain. Some of them seemed to have received indiscriminate guns and financial support from unknown sources, and quickly gathered a large number of local hooligans. He and the unemployed vagrants soon occupied many towns and villages, and became the local emperors of each side!

And after these landlord and bandit armed forces took up the pole, they began to fight indiscriminately with the local Communist Party armed forces in Zhili.On one side are mobs of landlords and bandits, and on the other side are the unprofessional Red Guards and Peasant Self-Defense Forces.The two forces were fighting back and forth on both sides of the Taihang Mountain, and no one could do anything to the other for a while!It's just that the people in the Taihang Mountains have suffered a lot... At the same time, it has seriously disrupted the pace of the CCP's pacification of Shanxi, as well as the social stability of Zhili Province.

Therefore, the leaders of the Fourth Route Army of the Central Army in Zhengding County are also suffering from this headache.

Chen Yi, a political commissar of the Fourth Route Army, strode in from the outside, speaking in a strong Sichuan dialect, which could be heard from the second door: "Ge Laozi! These reactionaries are really devoid of conscience! A good villager!" They set the fire on fire, making thousands of peasants unable to live, and they all ran to the county town to complain!"

He walked into the command room with a few steps. There were many staff members of the Fourth Route Army gathered in the room, and a huge military map was hung on the wall.Ye Ting, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, was standing in front of the map with his chin resting on his hand, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. When he saw Chen Yi walking in, he just asked softly, "Political commissar, what happened again? Is it the one on Taihang Mountain?" The gangsters are coming down to do evil again?"

Chen Yi snorted, sighed again, and sat down next to the stern-faced Chief of Staff of the Fourth Route Army Chen Geng: "These people must be backed by people from Wuhan! Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get so many weapons Ammunition, I have seen the red guards send the seized guns, they are all kinds, some are made in Sichuan, some are made in Hanyang, and some are from Gongxian Arsenal, and most of them have a caliber of 7.92mm. Except for the KMT and theirs these years Who else can take what was confiscated? These reactionaries... they dare not come out and fight us face to face, so they know that they are playing such dirty tricks behind our backs, which is really abhorrent." He said He couldn't help gnashing his teeth, with a look of extreme hatred.Finally, he looked at Ye Ting again: "Mr. Ye, do you think we sent troops to take down these bandits' lairs? We have to rely on the Red Guards and Peasant Self-Defense Forces. I don't know how long the war will last!"

In another time and space, the opponents of the Red Army of the CCP included all kinds of landlord armed forces, and the battle between these landlord armed forces and the Red Army was not overwhelmingly defeated!Even among the reasons for the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression war, there must be a crime of these landlords armed!But here, due to the strength of the CCP's military power, the landlord's armed force, which is not a popular military force, has never shown much threat.Until this Shanxi battle, somehow these landlords suddenly became a scourge.It seems that there is really a black hand behind it!

Ye Ting also just shook his head and smiled wryly, but then pulled himself together: "Political Commissar, Xinkou is now in a fierce battle. Our Fourth Route Army is going to enter Shanxi along Zhengtai Road and take Taiyuan directly. The Central Committee instructed us to do well at any time." To prepare for the attack, if we mobilize troops to suppress bandits at this time... I am afraid that we will miss the point. And no matter who is behind these local tyrants and bandits, their weapons and ammunition must have come from Shanxi. As long as we Once Yan Xishan is dealt with, they will have no backup, and it will be easy to destroy them when the time comes."

Ye Ting's words were reasonable, and even Chen Geng, who had been silent all this time, nodded frequently.After Ye Ting finished speaking, Chen Geng picked it up again, and said lightly: "The key now is Xinkou. As long as Xinkou can deal a strong blow to the Jin army and restrain them, we can quickly defeat the third division of the Jin army in front of us." Break into the city of Taiyuan! According to intelligence, there are only three newly recruited divisions there, and they don't have much combat effectiveness, so the central government's intention of a quick battle will be realized."

Chen Yi let out a long sigh, and nodded reluctantly: "It's just a pain for those people in the Jin border area... I don't know when Feng Yuxiang will be able to suppress the Jin army?"

……

At this time, on the front line of Xinkou, the 25 soldiers of the Third Army under the command of Feng Yuxiang gradually fell into a bitter battle!From February 16th, the Third, No.17, and No.[-] Route Army attacked the Central Corps of the Jin Army under the command of Fu Zuoyi for several days.It's just that after five full days of bloody battles, the main positions of the Jin army are still indestructible. Feng Yuxiang still has nothing but to pay thousands of casualties in vain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

After [-]:[-] on March [-], the artillery shells of the Central Army exploded on the front line of Caijiagang on time.This time Feng Yuxiang seemed to have spent all his money, and the bombardment was very intensive and accurate.Seeing that the field fortifications on the Caijiagang Highland were blown up, flames were scattered, and smoke and dust were in chaos.From time to time, broken limbs were blown apart and flew around.

Fu Zuoyi, who was supervising the battle behind the Jin army's front line, immediately felt that something was wrong. Feng Yuxiang must be desperate this time.He hurriedly ordered the staff around him: "Hang up the headquarters immediately and request that the No.11 Brigade be transferred up. Today may be the decisive battle!"

After five days of bloody battles, the Jin Army's Second Division and Eighth Brigade, which had been on the front line, had also suffered heavy losses.As a last resort, Yan Xishan had to recruit thousands of recruits from the three recruit divisions in Taiyuan City.However, the combat effectiveness of these new recruits is simply not comparable to that of the veterans who have undergone rigorous training.In addition, after days of shelling, all the positions have been blasted to pieces, and most of the large and small fire launch points built with wood and sandbags have been destroyed abruptly.The light and heavy machine guns of various units have also lost a lot, and the supplementary weapons and equipment have not yet arrived, and the firepower on the frontline positions has dropped significantly.

Before the smoke of the artillery fire cleared, the blue infantry brigade of the Central Army surged towards the high ground.The troops rushing up this time were obviously different from the previous ones.Those who rushed to the front were all officers and soldiers wearing steel helmets and holding submachine guns, and they were all obviously tall, so they were the elite of the elite at a glance!These elites charged with their heads covered from the very beginning, but they did not rush in a swarm, but in the formation of skirmishers, charging upwards in waves without firing to waste bullets.Behind them, there are troops with rifles, but they also look more elite than their previous opponents.

Moreover, while the central army has stormed the Caijiagang highlands in the past few days, it has dug trenches to a place less than one kilometer from the front of the Jin army.Now the charging distance has been greatly shortened!The officers and soldiers of the Central Army rushed to the front of the Jin army's position in the blink of an eye.The firepower of machine rifles and submachine guns on both sides fired together, and the sound of the salvo was connected together, like a whirlwind blowing on the battlefield.The dense ammunition stirred up small columns of smoke on the Jin army's defensive positions, and the officers and soldiers of the Jin army were beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads!

But at this moment, the artillery of the Jin army, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally began to roar.Groups of fireballs continued to rise behind the Central Army's assault brigade, blocking the reinforcement route.Immediately afterwards, a fierce hand-to-hand battle began in the forward position of the Jin army...

Chapter 0488 Protracted War ([-])

Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Guotao, and Deng Yanda, the three main generals of the CCP, also stood on the high ground behind their own positions, holding binoculars in their hands and watching the battlefield filled with gunpowder.I watched my troops retreat time and time again.Ji Hongchang, the tiger general who led the attack, also failed. He bandaged it indiscriminately, then picked up a machete, and led the troops to launch another fierce attack with a howl. It seemed that he was desperate enough!It's really not the fault of the officers and soldiers that they can't fight anymore.Perhaps... it's time for the troops to take a breather, rest for a while, and replenish their losses and weapons and ammunition?

Feng Yuxiang secretly glanced at Zhang Guotao, who had a livid face, hesitated for a long time, but did not speak, but cast his eyes on Deng Yanda, the chief of staff who also looked gloomy.Deng Yanda saw Feng Yuxiang's eyes begging for help, put down the binoculars in his hand, and sighed softly: "Political commissar, these Jin troops seem to be well-trained, their positions are well-built, and their firepower organization is also good... and we have been fighting hard for many days, and the troops have already I am exhausted, and the supplies are not enough. Do you think it is possible to take a rest? Then apply for the transfer of the artillery division directly under the central government?"

Zhang Guotao snorted: "Why were you bragging before the war? The prestige of our revolutionary army has been ruined by you!"

In fact, he was also complaining in his heart. For the past six days, he had been to the front line to supervise the battle every day.And he is not the kind of talented scholar who knows nothing about soldiers.He could tell at a glance whether these soldiers were selling their lives or not.It's just that he also has a strong idea of ​​making contributions in his heart, and also has the strongest ideal of becoming a hero who dominates the ups and downs of this era.But why does he have to meet the toughest enemy every time? In 25 years, I met a Japanese soldier wearing a Fengjun military uniform in Chahar, and in 26 years, I met Wang Zixing, a lunatic... In 27 years, I encountered such unlucky things as the Middle East Road Incident, and later Wang Zhongyi appeared !It is also counted on his account.Now they are going to be defeated by this group of Jin troops again!

"No!" Zhang Guotao gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "We are exhausted, so the enemy will be easy? We don't have enough supplies, but they have enough everything without any difficulty? Now is the crucial last 5 minutes. Who can survive it? Whoever wins the final victory!"

Although the current third and fourth armies are no longer the brand of the Red Army, they still have the same organizational system, and the political commissars make the final decision.So Zhang Guotao made up his mind, and Feng Yuxiang and Deng Yanda had no choice but to carry it out.

A new round of attack was quickly organized.

In fact, what Zhang Guotao said was not a complete layman, and Fu Zuoyi was gritting his teeth and resisting it now.Today, the Third Army of the Central Army has attacked as many as thirteen times!And every time, he screamed and rushed desperately, as if he didn't know tiredness at all, and he wasn't afraid of death.The No.11 brigade sent by Yan Xishan has now been supplemented by him in battalion units to various positions such as Caijiagang, Lingshan, Nanhuaihua, and Yangmingbao.At this time, the No.12 Brigade of the Jin Army, the last reserve team, had also been sent up.If the No.12 brigade is filled in and the Central Army's offensive continues, the Jin Army may collapse...

……

Beijing, Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall.

Zhou Enlai leaned on the sofa, his eyelids were heavy, but he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from falling asleep.Ever since the Battle of Xinkou started, he has never been able to fall asleep, especially in the past two days, the battle seems to be slipping to protracted!The [-] troops of the Third Army fought hard for six days without breaking through any of the main positions of the Jin army in Xinkou. The tenacity of the Jin army's defense in this battle was completely beyond his expectations, and of course it also exceeded the expectations of the Soviet advisers. expected.

In addition, the Central Special Branch, which has always been well-informed, seems to have been deflated by Yan Xishan this time.Even now, the CCP still doesn't know anything about the Jin army's deployment of troops?

What is even more surprising are those armed landlords and bandits who are entangled in arms and resist the people's regime!These counter-revolutionaries are getting more and more violent now, and even attacked the supply line of the Third Army yesterday!Although he failed in the end, the officers and soldiers who were escorting supplies retreated.But this is not a good sign after all!There are various indications that behind these armed landlords is probably the Kuomintang Rightist Central Committee!At least those miscellaneous broken guns were obtained from them... As for whether they provided them to Yan Xishan, and then Yan Xishan handed over these weapons to the local tyrants and evil gentry, it is still unknown.Although the Jin army fought so-so, the secrecy work was indeed top-notch, almost on par with the CCP!

"Prime Minister." Secretary-General Zhao Shiyan appeared behind Zhou Enlai at some unknown time: "Wuhan rejected our proposal."

The proposal Zhao Shiyan mentioned refers to the proposal of "dividing Shanxi equally". The CCP passed on this proposal through Zhang Naiqi, general manager of Shaanxi North Energy Company in Wuhan, and Mao Renfeng, chairman of the North-South Exchange Foundation in Beijing. Finally got a reply from the other party today.

Zhou Enlai didn't change his expression, and asked calmly: "Is there any latest battle report from the front line of Xinkou?"

Zhao Shiyan opened the briefcase in his hand, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The battle report just received shows that the Third Army launched fourteen fierce attacks today, but it still hasn't broken through the Jin army's defense line. Besides..." Zhao Shiyan seemed to be hesitant, with a look on his face. Hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Zhou Enlai sat up straight, and the drowsiness from just now was gone.

Zhao Shiyan said in a low voice: "Comrade Zhang Guotao sent a secret telegram, accusing Feng Yuxiang of being unfavorable in combat and suspected of preserving strength... It is suggested that Comrade Xu Qianqian replace Feng Yuxiang to command the Third Army. Comrade Deng Yanda's telegram stated that the Third Army was exhausted after days of fighting. , I hope to rest for a whole day, and at the same time transfer the artillery division directly under the Central Committee to Xinkou to assist in the battle."

Zhou Enlai whispered to himself: "The Artillery Division directly under the Central Committee..." This unit is the pinnacle of the CCP. It has three heavy artillery regiments with a total of 72 152mm howitzers, all of which are "aided" (for money) by the Soviet Union. It is being deployed to defend the Kuomintang army on the southern line.He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Shiyan with piercing eyes: "Go and tell Zhang Guotao that you must pay attention to uniting with the old officers, especially Comrade Feng Yuxiang! Don't bring up his suggestion after he is replaced. In addition, let Comrade Xu Qianqian bring a heavy artillery The regiment went to reinforce the Third Army, and at the same time served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army. As for the rest... let's rest until the arrival of the Heavy Artillery Regiment. However, during this period, the Third Army must mobilize elite troops to help the local regime in Shanxi suppress bandits .”

He stood up, walked to the one-fifty-thousandth large map hanging on the wall, stared at Zhengding's position, and said calmly: "Order the Fourth Route Army to carry out the work of suppressing bandits. It must be done within fifteen days." Eliminate these bandits who are endangering the place secretly! They must not be allowed to affect the next battle of Shanxi."

Zhao Shiyan wrote down Zhou Enlai's dictated orders in a notepad with a pen. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhou Enlai's slightly tired voice sounded again: "Let all members of the Politburo in Beijing come to the Xihua Hall for a meeting after dinner. , to discuss the next step of work. Also... let Comrade Gu Shunzhang come to Xihua Hall first before the meeting, I have important work to explain."

After Zhao Shiyan left quickly, Zhou Enlai leaned back on the sofa, looked at the map on the wall in a daze for a while, and suddenly sighed: "They already have more than half of China...but why didn't they launch the Northern Expedition so late? What? What are you planning?"

He knew in his heart that the Kuomintang, which is currently tucking its tail between its legs, is powerful enough to drive the CCP out of Beijing!It can also grab Zhang Xueliang's Northeast.Even if Japan and the Soviet Union intervene, they still have a 500% to [-]% chance of winning.At that time, the CCP can only rely on the mountainous areas of northern Shaanxi, Suiyuan, and Shanxi to deal with the Kuomintang.But right now, they are holding such a good deck of cards and hiding aside, they are not willing to come down to play for a while.Could it be that they think the deck is not big enough?Do you have to have [-] million tons of steel and battleships and aircraft carriers to play again?But can such a large chip be placed on the poker table in China?

……

"Brother Jiansheng, Sihua, fifth brother...what's going on with this 'Free China Foundation'?"

Luo Yaoguo was sitting in the office of the Military Commission, propping his head up and just looking at a report he had just received.The cup of coffee on the table has long since lost its heat.

There was silence in the room, and it was Wu Ziliang who broke the silence after a while: "Third Brother, Chairman Jiang and Secretary-General Yang are mainly involved in this matter. The Nanyang Consortium, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, and the Beiyang Consortium who escaped from the north are the main contributors... ...It's just two or 3000 million yuan. And it's not aimed at us. This money is mainly used to support the anti-communist forces in the north. It has little to do with us. It's not worth fighting against Chiang Kai-shek for this matter. It's better to let them go Let's make a fuss."

Luo Yaoguo suddenly glanced at his brother like lightning, but Wu Ziliang sipped his cold coffee leisurely.

"Fifth brother, do you really think so?"

Wu Ziliang smiled and said nothing.

Luo Yaoguo said coldly: "Chiang Kai-shek's eyes are only on the country... He doesn't even know that we are already a player on the world stage."

Bai Chongxi frowned, and he didn't seem to understand Luo Yaoguo's words: "Brother Fuwen, we must first settle down when we fight against the outside world... This is always good, right? No matter what interests the world has in the future, we should always put China first. Unify, and then go out to grab one. I agree with Chiang Kai-shek on this point, and most people in the General Staff also agree. And now the CCP’s offensive in Shanxi seems to have suffered setbacks. In the past two days, the front line of Xinkou has been It stopped for a while, and the CCP’s rear seems to have some problems. Many anti-communist people in northern Shanxi and Taihang Mountains have organized armed forces to resist the tyranny of the CCP. This opportunity is once in a thousand years..."

Luo Yaoguo just shook his head: "No, no... Now the focus of our work is still the 'Five-Year Plan', we must concentrate on raising the level of heavy industry to the level of the world's second-rate powers. Only in this way can we gain a lot in the future world war !As for fighting against the outside world and securing the country... Let’s just treat the [-] southern provinces and the three northwestern provinces as one country. The CCP’s hornet’s nest must not be poked, or there will be no three-to-five-year decision to settle the situation. Moreover, the Soviet Union, Japan I definitely don’t want us to be completely unified, and then the custody will be inserted. In this way, the five-year plan will be over..."
