Age of Rebirth

Chapter 750 The attitude of the CCP

The recovery of all the land in North China is a great thing. It means that the full-scale war of aggression against China initiated by the Japanese was defeated at the source. In just one year, the ambition of the Japanese to invade the south was defeated. It will be stopped, so that more Chinese people will be saved from the flames of war, and more land will be saved from the trampling of the Japanese. The name of the North China Independent Division has been recited everywhere.

On the contrary, Generalissimo Jiang, who was in Chongqing, did not express too much excitement. A congratulatory message with a light tone and a plain boiled water represented his entire mood. The report made by the Central News Agency is even more bizarre.

"Central News Agency reported on the front line in North China that under the personal deployment of Chairman Jiang of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, our Japanese army, after more than ten days of bloody battle, severely damaged the Japanese army in Tianjin and recovered all the land in North China on July [-]. During the battle, the nationals General Tang Qiuli, vice-chairman of the government's military committee, went to the front line to inspect the military and guide the battle."

"According to our reporter's report from the front line in Tianjin, when the battle of North China was in full swing, our three main divisions under the command of General Zhang Zhizhong in the Songhu theater arrived in Tianjin and immediately went into battle, dealing a fatal blow to the Japanese army. In this battle, our troops and soldiers fought bravely, and the officers came to the front line to command the battle in person, which is really a model for all our soldiers!" [

After reading the report of the Central News Agency, Tang Qiuli couldn't laugh or cry. The battle he commanded became the result of Generalissimo Chiang's plan thousands of miles away, and the soldiers of the Central Army fought bravely. Fortunately, his name finally appeared, and it became an inspection. He is not angry at directing the battle, rather than directing it personally, and does not know that it is the pen of the Central News Agency. He locked himself in the room and fabricated this report from the front line out of thin air. No one can obliterate it. The whole country knows that North China was brought down by the Independent Division. Just relying on a report by the Central News Agency, no one can be fooled.

On the contrary, this report reminded Tang Qiuli that when he left Wuhan, he had forced Chen Cheng to mobilize three main divisions from the Songhu theater to join the Tianjin battlefield in order to guard against the [-] Kwantung Army troops and cross the sea to reinforce the Tianjin battlefield. The battle is over, so I forgot about this army, don't fight the outskirts of Tianjin, right?

Zhang Zhizhong supported sending troops to help him. Tang Qiuli believed that, as for Chen Cheng and even Chairman Jiang, would they be willing to pay such a capital?He hastily sent a telegram to Li Honggang, the commander of the Shandong Garrison Command and the commander of the 29th Corps, to check whether the Central Army troops heading north from the Songhu theater had arrived in Shandong.

Li Honggang replied, "The division pointed out that according to investigations, the three divisions of the Central Army in the Songhu theater have arrived in the Jining area in southern Shandong and are on their way to Jinan." The city war has been fought for four days, and the cleanup of the city has begun. There is no one in North China, and the smell of gunpowder smoke is no longer there. To mobilize and stay in North China reasonably, Generalissimo Jiang is willing to bleed, but the content is not that simple.

I wanted to test the attitude of Generalissimo Jiang and see whether the official title of the battalion director was good. Unexpectedly, the old man followed his plan and followed the boat, and actually sent troops. But when the battle was in full swing, the marching speed was slow, deliberately Procrastinate the trip, wait for the battle in Tianjin to end, and rush over here. This is not an easy move. Pick up a hot pancake with cold hands, and eat ready-made ones without any effort. Coupled with the report from the Central News Agency, Chinese people thought the Tianjin battle , It was fought by the Central Army.

An old fox-like smile appeared on Tang Qiuli's face again. Fu Qiang, who saw the teacher's expression for the first time, felt a chill in his heart, and looked at him suspiciously. If it was Mei Ting, Mei Xue or Shan Hu, they would have Guessing that he was playing tricks again, indeed, Tang Qiuli plotted against the Central Army units of these three divisions again.

The reinforcements sent by Zhang Zhizhong must be the best-equipped, full-staffed, and best-trained Class A main division, with two brigades and six regiments, plus the artillery regiment. The division headquarters are directly under the transport battalion, engineering battalion, and cavalry battalion. , field hospital and other troops, each division has about 7000 soldiers, and three divisions, that is, more than 5 well-trained soldiers, are almost equal to the strength of a second-line corps in an independent division. I don’t know if there is any The tank battalion, if there is one, will make a lot of money.

Wouldn’t it be a pity if I didn’t eat the fat that was brought to my mouth? The old man gave me a chance to fish in troubled waters, so I took advantage of it and digested the Central Army of these three divisions. He ordered the Central Army troops of the three divisions to immediately speed up their northward movement. After arriving in Tianjin, he waited for the next order. He originally wanted to transfer directly to Jinzhou, but he was afraid that he would startle the snake and arouse the vigilance of the old man. The cooked duck flew away. Xu Tu In short, Tang Qiuli advised himself this way.

Compared with Chairman Jiang's indifferent attitude towards recovering North China and the Central News Agency's full of lies, the CCP's attitude is much warmer and more positive. Mainstream media such as the "Liberation Daily", the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the "Xinhua News" based in Chongqing, Tang Qiuli's command of the North China Independent Division and the recovery of North China were reported in detail and truthfully. The joy was overflowing between the lines. People from all walks of life in Yan'an also organized a parade to celebrate.

According to a telegram to Tang Qiuli from Liu Hanzhang, Vice Chairman of the Military and Political Committee of Dingbian Special Economic Zone and Mayor of Dingbian Special City, who was invited to participate in the event, the scene was extremely grand and spectacular, and your photos, Chairman, Zhu De and *** were paraded The crowd held high side by side, and the crowd also chanted the slogan of long live.

Later, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent another congratulatory message to Tang Qiuli. In the message, he praised Tang Qiuli as a national hero. Taking back the country from the invaders was the only feat in modern times in a century. The telegram of a thousand words, quoted from many sources, quoted from the classics, majestic, inspiring and expressing true feelings, can be seen from the hands of Chairman Mao Zedong of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. A great man of a generation, the momentum is really extraordinary.

Tang Qiuli asked the staff to carefully keep this congratulatory message. Naturally, things that can be used as cultural relics should be cherished. The CCP took the initiative to show favor, and Tang Qiuli also reciprocated. He believed that the CCP’s congratulatory message came from the heart, and he could doubt all the CCP’s starting points. However, in terms of defending national sovereignty, not bowing to the great powers, and safeguarding national dignity, the CCP has never been ambiguous. The Chinese Communists are first nationalists and then communists. * Human understanding.

Tang Qiuli issued an order in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater. The [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army was stationed in Henan to take charge of local defense; the [-]th Division was stationed in Shanxi to take charge of local defense; Local defense should give the CCP a space to develop. Otherwise, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the CCP will not have the capital to compete, and its focus will not be in these places.

The units of the Eighth Route Army who received the order rushed to their respective defense areas day and night. This opportunity is rare and should not be missed. There are no Japanese invading troops in North China, and the necessity of the Eighth Route Army's presence in North China is doubtful. Pulled to the front line of Jinzhou, fighting with the Kwantung Army troops head-on bayonet, the CCP can say something, this property, a few battles will be wiped out, unless the Eighth Route Army blatantly disobeys orders and breaks face with Tang Qiuli, otherwise, it can only obey orders obediently for the sake.

Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China ***, who was in the cave in Yan'an, took Tang Qiuli's orders to the Eighth Route Army ministries, spoke a strong Hunan accent, and said to several other leaders of the Communist Party of China: "Repay the favor, this Vice Chairman Tang , but I understand our Communists' thoughts very well. I don't know if this young general is a secret Communist Party member wearing a Communist Party coat. The so-called "white skin and red heart." If so, it is really The great fortune of our party, we should also celebrate with our foreheads and hands, and raise our glasses to say joy! However, Generalissimo Jiang will cry bitterly and scold his mother Xipi!"

***The half-truth and half-false joke caused the leaders of the CCP present to burst into laughter. Indeed, the young Vice Chairman Tang was fundamentally different from the others from the first meeting.* The senior officials and generals of the Communist Party of China are sincere in helping ***. In addition to a large number of weapons and equipment, supplies and medicines, they also take care of them in many ways. Now, they have given the CCP unprecedented development space. Is it really like what the Chairman said?

At the subsequent meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, several major principles for getting along with the North China Independent Division led by Tang Qiuli were clearly stipulated. Local public security, this is a good opportunity for development, all units should start to expand their units, but one thing must be kept in mind, not to compete with independent division units for the source of troops.

[-]. Party organizations in various places should not carry out public activities. The main task is to focus on mobilizing the grassroots. They are not allowed to develop members in the various ministries of the Independent Division, and they are not allowed to establish secret party organizations in the units of the Independent Division to cooperate with the Independent Division. Third, all units and local party organizations, under the premise of obeying the anti-Japanese united front, maintain the independence of our party and our army. This document, as a secret document within the party, is conveyed to party organizations at all levels , do not spread.

The leaders of the Communist Party of China are indeed strategists and politicians with great vision. They position themselves very accurately, cooperate with the North China Independent Division, and develop their own strength. It is ignorant of current affairs to make a big fanfare, and it also makes it difficult for Tang Qiuli to do so. He has many embarrassments in political affairs, and even puts the CCP on the cusp of occupying territory and engaging in separatist regimes. The gains outweigh the losses. [

It is impossible for Tang Qiuli to see the CCP’s secret documents within the party. However, from the CCP’s attitude towards its recovery of North China, it is a reliable ally, at least during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Combined with the information he learned in later generations, Tang Qiuli Qiu Li was relieved to hand over the rear area to the Chinese Communist Party. He believed that the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party would make the most appropriate and realistic approach.

When Tang Qiuli was in North China, preparing to clean up the mess and establish a solid rear base, another good thing happened to him.
