Wuhan!

Hey hey!

I told you from the beginning that we were going to attack Wuhan, but you didn't believe me. I told you I was going to attack Anqing, but you still didn't believe me. I've reminded you so many times, but you still don't believe me. There's nothing I can do! On the last day of June, when the Central Red Army appeared near Nanchang, the Fourth Front Army suddenly appeared on the Jianghan Plain.

Subsequently, major newspapers in Wuhan published a shocking piece of news and an announcement from outside:

The terrifying Communist army has approached and surrounded Wuhan, demanding the surrender of all nationalist troops in Wuhan. The government is discussing countermeasures.

Our army has annihilated most of the Nationalist army and completely surrounded Wuhan. We hope that Chiang Kai-shek will surrender with his troops as soon as possible to prevent the loss of lives.

Signed: Li Desheng.

200 PLA ​​Army Headquarters at your service

"Damn it! Li Desheng!"

"Li Desheng! Damn it!"

"Nanxipi! Niangxipi!"

“Li Desheng!!!!”

"Crack!"

The aides outside the Wuhan Command Headquarters counted silently.

How many teacups and teabowls have been broken?

If you keep falling like this, it will be useless...

But Chiang Kai-shek didn't care about all this. He was shocked, angry and happy.

Li Desheng!

It's you!

No wonder I was wondering why this fight was so weird! It turns out you were behind this!

I was surprised because I never expected it to be Li Desheng.

He was angry because Li Desheng had been playing tricks on him for more than a month; he was happy because he had finally tracked down Li Desheng.

In his eyes, no other members of the CCP were a concern; only Li Desheng was the most dangerous. The war over the past month had indeed confirmed his thoughts. It was too late to investigate when and how Li Desheng arrived in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui. Chiang Kai-shek just wanted to kill him quickly.

Just as Chiang Kai-shek was about to issue another order, urging all the foreign troops to quickly encircle Wuhan, the brains that had been put to good use because of Li Desheng finally realized something was wrong.

Something is wrong! Li Desheng??

Even if it was really Li Desheng, how could he have the guts to come to Wuhan! This is Wuhan! Wuhan!

Where is Wuhan?

?

Everything is full of vitality... In short, it is the center of the country!

For a military stronghold like this, you said it's possible that some Communist bandits came to harass the periphery, just like some time ago, but the core members of the Communist bandits personally led the troops to arrive and attack?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The experience of being fooled came to mind, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately made a judgment: This is the Communist bandits bluffing, intending to mobilize the national army again and plan a big event! Humph!

Do you really think I will be fooled again and again! The enemy doesn't move! I won't move!

Then, Chairman Chiang issued a new order:

"A small number of Communist bandits are harassing Wuhan. This is just bluffing. All units should not worry. Execute the original plan and seek opportunities to gradually move closer to Wuhan."

This is an opportunity for the various national army units to catch their breath and rest.

At least that's what Chairman Chiang himself thought.

He is quite aware of how hard the fighting has been over the past month, so he is still very merciful! Humph, I am indeed worthy of being the leader of the country.

Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased with himself. He took the phone and planned to ask about the garrison situation in Wuhan to see if there was any place where he could directly micro-manage it: "Hello! This is Chiang Kai-shek! Connect me to the Wuhan Garrison Command!"

According to usual experience, a sweet female voice would come from the other end, greeting him and quickly connecting the line; but this time it seemed a little different.

The sweet female voice is still sweet, but the content and tone have changed a little:

"Welcome to the People's Liberation Army Headquarters. We will provide you with comprehensive voice services..." Huh???

China...what...Army Headquarters? Voice...service?

But you know what, this strange female voice is quite nice.

Chiang Kai-shek was distracted for a moment and did not hear clearly, and his mind became confused.

Why does it feel different from usual?...

"Press 1 to learn about new recruit benefits, press 2 to report lost documents and apply for them, press 3 to report to your superiors, and press 4 to receive reports from subordinates..." Hmm???

When did the lottery dialing system become like this?

Chairman Jiang was stunned. He called out several times but received no response. The female voice inside just repeated what she had just said over and over again. He looked at the attendants beside him. They all looked confused. Only a younger one tentatively said:

"I heard that the telephone department seems to be carrying out some reforms..."

Hey?

Is it a recording?

Select different options based on the recording? Will it connect to different places after selecting? This technology is quite interesting...

Let me see... I should press "4" for "Listen to Subordinate Reports"... right?

The telephone Chiang Kai-shek used was a German-made Siemens wall-mounted dial telephone, equipped with a push-button dial that was almost identical to that of later generations, so he immediately pressed "."

The female voice paused for two seconds, and then it changed:

"Please press 1 for the Nanjing Garrison Command, press 2 for the Luoyang Garrison Command, press 3 for the Nanchang Garrison Command, and press 4 for the Wuhan Garrison Command..."

"..."

Chiang Kai-shek frowned. Why put Wuhan last?

I'm in Wuhan, so Wuhan should be played first! After "" was pressed, the sound changed again:

"Press 1 for troop deployment, 2 for troop results, 3 for troop casualties, 4 for troop morale..."

It should be... "troop deployment status", right?

"Press 1 to connect with the Tenth Army..."

"according to..."

"...Please press..."

After several minutes of tossing and turning without success, and with the woman's slow voice on the phone, Chiang Kai-shek grew impatient and shouted, "Connect me to the Wuhan Garrison Command! Connect me to Director He Chengjun!"

Hearing such an impatient tone, the female voice paused, and her voice became gentler and softer:

"I feel the customer's emotions and would like to express my sincere apologies. Now, please press or dial 2, 5, and 0 in sequence to connect you to human service. Human service?"

What is manual service?

Although he was very impatient, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to do as the woman said since it had come to this point.

Soon, a melodious saxophone sound came from the phone, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel as if he was home and relieved some of his impatience; then, a slightly stiff female voice came:

"Hello, I'm employee number 9527. How can I help you?" "Connect me to the Wuhan Garrison Command!"

"Okay, are you here to speak to Director He Chengjun?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll transfer you right away. Please wait."

After another burst of melodious saxophone sounds, a strange man's voice came out: "Hello! Who is it?"

"This is Jiang Zhongzheng! I want to see Director He!" "Who is that bald son of a bitch Jiang Zhongzheng? I don't know him!" With that, the other party hung up the phone with a snap. "....."

National leader Mr. Chiang stood there, holding the phone, stunned for almost a full minute, unable to react. Wait?

I just... got scolded? Was I scolded by He Chengjun?

No, no, that voice wasn't He Chengjun's, it was someone else, quite young...

Damn it!

No matter if it was He Chengjun or whoever it was! I was scolded!

I was scolded by He Chengjun's people!

Damn it!!!!

Since becoming "Generalissimo Chiang," Chiang Kai-shek, a man of great success, was at least obeyed by everyone, even if his word was not final. This was the first time he had been scolded "in person"!

And was called a "son of a bitch"! !

And called him "baldhead"!!

Damn it!

Damn it!

I don’t know who this guy is, but I’m going to find him and kill him!! “Prepare the car! Go to the Wuhan Garrison Command!!”

"Committee, this..."

The attendants all expressed their embarrassment.

During this period, due to the previous "auditorium attack", the Red Army Air Force's occasional harassment, and the shooting down of General Wang Jun's plane, Chiang Kai-shek had been staying at home and rarely went out; but now, he could no longer tolerate it.

“Prepare the car!!”

Amidst Chiang Kai-shek's roar, a fleet of black luxury cars left the fortifications and headed for the security headquarters; and this scene also fell into a pair of eyes in the dark.

Outside the city of Wuhan at this time.

"...Comrade Shiwu, what are you doing? I just heard you imitating someone's male voice again."

"Oh... I was just playing around when I had nothing to do... By the way, Comrade Li Desheng, I received a new telegram from the Special Forces Brigade." "What?"

"They said Chiang Kai-shek had left his hiding place and asked if he could attack." "Attack him for what?"

Li Desheng shook his head:

"I've already said you can use decapitation tactics, but don't resort to assassinations lightly... Also, killing such a stupid enemy wouldn't be a good thing for us."

"But don't you want to frighten him, to make him panic?" "Assassination won't achieve that; only the Red Army's attack can do that."

Li Desheng had no idea what UMP45 had been up to, so he said confidently, "Don't worry, as long as we launch an attack, Generalissimo Chiang will do as I wish!"

201st Bombardment of Wuhan Headquarters

Li Desheng had indeed never thought of killing Chiang Kai-shek through assassination or other means.

Just as he had said to UMP45, if he eliminated Chiang Kai-shek, such an obedient fool, what if he was replaced by an unfamiliar, more sophisticated reactionary? Chasing the peak headfirst and fearing no hardship is commendable, but there's no need to make it harder for yourself.

It's not a "decapitation tactic" or assassination.

Killing Chiang Kai-shek would certainly cause great chaos in the Kuomintang in the short term and relieve the pressure on the Chinese revolution, the Communist Party and the Red Army, but what about the long term?

Even if Chiang Kai-shek is killed, there are still Wang Kai-shek, Li Kai-shek, and Hu Kai-shek. As long as the class behind them is not eliminated, there will be as many turtle bastards like "Chiang Kai-shek" as you want; reactionaries are all the same reactionaries, and whoever becomes that "Chiang Kai-shek" will be the same "Chiang Kai-shek".

To put it bluntly, the so-called "Chiang Kai-shek" is nothing more than a representative of class will;

However, this is the view of Li Desheng and a considerable number of Communist Party members.

For another part of the people who were directly or indirectly oppressed by the interest groups represented by Chiang Kai-shek and who had already realized this, they would not think so complicatedly.

"Damn Baldy Jiang, damn Jiang..."

In a military camp in Wuhan, an artillery soldier from the 41st Division wiped his Nationalist-made, British-style "Stokes" 82mm mortar while hurling curses at the nominally righteous "national leader." His comrades thought he was completely insane.

Although everyone had grown a lot from the short two-day experience with the Red Third Army, most people's hatred for the Kuomintang and the exploiting class had been gradually hidden in their hearts as time went by, and they would not express it easily. Everyone knew that this was now the Kuomintang's base camp, and no matter how much hatred they felt in their hearts, they could not be stupid. Everyone was still a soldier of the Kuomintang army, and it was better to listen to the orders of the division commander and those "instructors"; only this guy didn't.

He almost ran to Chairman Chiang's residence and publicly cursed him. Of course, everyone could understand.

Because this originally quiet, honest and well-behaved young man came from a family of the most deplorable kind, so devastating that he fainted three times from tears at grievance meetings, and even the Red Army cadres were afraid to allow him to continue attending. His father, because he could not pay a debt demanded by a landlord, was severely beaten and died of vomiting blood.

My mother was gang-raped by the landlord's lackeys in front of my father, who was still alive, and then jumped into a well and died;

My sister was also raped and sold to a low-class brothel as a "debt repayment." She was tortured to death within a year.
