1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

So, his entourage put him directly into a black limousine and left the Wuhan Garrison Command in a flash, and then he was inexplicably hit by another shell... If the Chairman knew the experience of a man called the regiment commander, he would probably never ride in a black limousine again in his life.

Back to the point.

Fortunately, this shell hit the side of the car that Chairman Chiang was riding in, and the shock wave successfully overturned the moving car to the ground;

Unfortunately, the shell only struck the flank. This specially modified VIP protection vehicle was quite sturdy and was not destroyed by the small-caliber mortar shell, but was only overturned. Therefore, Chairman Chiang's bald head only hit the roof of the vehicle, causing several bulges, some scratches from the broken sharp objects, and some shock, but his life was not in danger.

People are good; shells are bad.

"Protect the Chairman! Protect the Chairman!"

To be fair, the guards that Generalissimo lavishly supported were quite loyal. After discovering they were under attack, they immediately and without hesitation risked their lives to organize a rescue.

However, one car was blown over, and the other two collided in a chain reaction. People fled in all directions, and the scene was in great chaos. They watched for a long time and decided that they had to drag Chairman Chiang out of the car first. "Chairman!"

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek, whose head was covered in blood and whose body was in a state of disarray, the captain of the guard was terrified and said, "I will rescue you right away!"

"Hurry...hurry..."

Chairman Chiang, his eyes blurred by blood, replied weakly, "Yes!"

As luck would have it, the door on the side closest to the chairman's head couldn't be opened due to damage from the explosion;

The guards could only cry out in disbelief and drag Generalissimo Chiang out by the feet like a dead dog. As luck would have it, they dragged him by the feet, and because they couldn't move him any further, they even exerted a little force.

Astonishingly, the chairman's walking stick broke, with one end sticking diagonally above the car roof. Astonishingly, the panicked guards didn't notice this and continued to drag the car.

As luck would have it, the center of the two legs was aligned...

With a slight sound, Chairman Jiang's eyes widened instantly, his face turned extremely pale, his lips trembled a few times, and he let out a miserable wail.

“┕l`O'l┙嗷~~! ! ! ! ! !”

203 Resolutely carry out Chairman Li’s orders!

My name is He Long. I never imagined that I was merely following orders from my superiors to hold a routine grievance meeting, but I would awaken Zhang Zhenhan and an artillery unit that would change history. My name is Li Desheng. I never imagined that I would simply feel that it would be a waste to let Zhang Zhenhan surrender directly to me, and planned to plant a nail in the Kuomintang government, but I planted a "bomb" instead. My name is Wang Dachui. I never imagined that I was simply angry that I couldn't kill Chiang Kai-shek, so I insisted on bombarding the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, but the division commander Zhang Zhenhan discovered something unusual.

My name is Zhang Zhenhan. I never expected that. I just saw that the headquarters had been bombed, so there was no need to cheat. I estimated that the targets in those cars should be more valuable, so I chose to bomb that side.

My name is Special Forces. I never imagined I was merely carrying out the Special Committee's "gradual order" to attack the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters before the Red Army launched its general offensive. I had no specific target in mind. My name is UMP45. I never imagined I was just messing around out of boredom, but I ended up completely enraging Chiang Kai-shek and driving him out of his hiding...

In short, all of this led to Chairman Chiang enjoying the treatment of being anally raped by his closest aide using a special instrument decades in advance.

It was done by a group of people. (It was a group of people in history)

“Ouch!!!”

Chairman Chiang screamed like Tom the Cat after Jerry raped him, kicking and slapping his legs desperately at those who came to rescue him;

The attendants didn't react immediately, thinking the other party was anxious, and hurriedly increased their strength. The violent movements of both parties aggravated the damage. The chairman was in so much pain that he had to stop and cursed: "Fuck you! Let me go! Fuck you!!"

"..."

Although they didn't understand what the commander was doing, an order was an order, so they had to let him go. "Get out of here! I'll get out by myself!"

After dismissing everyone, Chiang Kai-shek endured the excruciating pain and carefully moved his body, finally freeing himself from the continued probing of his large intestine by the civilized stick. He then summoned the guards to rescue him. While helping the chairman into another car, someone noticed that their leader's buttocks were covered in blood.

Alas?

The "Committee Chairman's Anus Explosion Incident" was not widely known outside of his doctors and personal attendants, but the attack on Chiang Kai-shek was not hidden. Many witnessed the convoy's arrival at the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, the subsequent bombing of the headquarters, and the convoy's hasty escape, which was then bombed again.

In addition, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was slow to make an official statement, and the Nationalist government hadn't issued any explanation. So, almost immediately, rumors began to spread throughout Wuhan. Rumors spread like wildfire: "Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is seriously injured and unable to function, and someone is plotting to seize the throne."

Something like "Chiang Kai-shek was actually dead, but the government kept it a secret"; something like "A large number of officers were killed, and the nationalist army in Wuhan fell into complete chaos"...

The most outrageous rumor was that "Chairman Chiang was raped by spies sent by the Communist Army, causing heavy bleeding from his anus, and is now recuperating at home." Even the Wuhan newspapers did not believe this rumor, so it was not published at all.

Of course, another reason they didn't post it could be that they were busy posting other messages, such as:

The powerful Communist army launched a general attack on Wuhan, and the leader of the National Army, Chiang Kai-shek, was suspected of being severely damaged.

The Nationalist Government was helpless in the face of the Communist offensive

Chiang Kai-shek has not been seen for several days and seems to have been killed in an attack by the Communist army.

Hanyang is about to change hands, where will Hankou go?

Mao and Chiang Kai-shek fought for Wuhan, and the latter's decline became apparent

Yun Yun.

In short, for two full days, the Kuomintang in Wuhan did not issue any orders.

It's not that they don't want to, but because their supreme leader is lying in bed groaning in pain, preparing to undergo surgery, and has no intention of taking care of things;

Others who could have taken charge were either unwilling or afraid to, or unable to do so. The radio operators and other technical personnel, as well as the lower-level officers of the garrison command, were taken away directly by two waves of bombing, so they were unable to do anything they wanted to do. However, one piece of news did get out:

Because of the various random redeployments and losses during this period, the actual combat strength of the Nationalist Army in Wuhan and even nearby areas was less than 30,000, while the Communist Army on the periphery was said to have 60,000 to 70,000 troops... The wealthy and powerful families who received the news in advance began to flee with their elderly and children, and a considerable number of deserters also appeared within the Nationalist Army.

Wuhan (Hankou to be precise) suddenly became even more chaotic.

This was clearly felt not only by the people of Wuhan but also by the Red Army attacking outside the city. This was quickly confirmed by intelligence: "...How could such a thing actually happen?"

Li Desheng listened with astonishment to the general conclusion reached after verifying intelligence from multiple channels. "Well, Chairman Chiang is quite unlucky."

UMP45 gloated:

"This is probably called the butterfly effect!" "What...what effect?"

"The butterfly effect means..." "Report!"

Just as UMP45 was about to explain, a messenger walked in and handed Li Desheng a pile of new telegrams and documents with a look of reverence on his face. "Chairman! Here are the telegrams and the blood letter!"

Blood letter?

Li Desheng frowned, took the document, glanced at it, and frowned even more. The so-called blood letter was actually a letter of request for battle from the Red Fourth Front Army and even the various units of the Red Third Army.

Xu Xiangqian, Zeng Zhongsheng, Kuang Jixun, He Long, Guan Xiangying... a number of middle and senior commanders, even regimental commanders, sent letters of request, asking their troops to take the lead in the attack on Wuhan. Therefore, Li Desheng suddenly became a little angry:

"What did you say before the war? Why are you acting like that again?"

Yes, although Wuhan now looks like it is within easy reach, but before this battle, Li Desheng had repeatedly reminded us of one thing: Wuhan can be attacked, but not really attacked;

Wuhan can be attacked, but not occupied.

This was not only a consideration of the military strength of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but also Li Desheng's estimation of the administrative capabilities of the Red Army and even the Communist Party itself at that time. The Communist Party at that time lacked experience in managing large cities.

Even if all the administrative cadres from the Central Soviet Area were included, not to mention the two small people in the Honghu and Hubei-Henan-Anhui bases, it would be difficult to effectively operate and manage a large city like Wuhan. Therefore, rather than occupying Wuhan and causing greater chaos, it would be better not to rush in and avoid a negative impact on the people and damage the image of the Communist Party and the Red Army.

Moreover, Wuhan might be easy to capture. Given the chaotic state of the Nationalist army, the Red Army might not even suffer any casualties. However, what would happen after taking Wuhan? After taking Wuhan, the Red Army would inevitably be besieged by the Nationalist army from all directions. What would they do then?

Do we defend Wuhan and fight the Nationalist army in a war of attrition?

As we all know, Wuhan is a place that is "easy to attack but difficult to defend". The Red Army had an easier time attacking Wuhan, and the National Army had an even easier time attacking Wuhan.

Therefore, it is obvious that relying on the Red Army, which only had tens of thousands of soldiers, to fight against the Nationalist Army, which (nominally) had the resources of the entire country, was extremely unwise.

So what was the purpose of taking such great pains to occupy Wuhan?

Therefore, despite Li Desheng's numerous claims of attacking Wuhan, it was ultimately a strategic threat and deception, intended to trap the Nationalist troops in Wuhan or divert them to other ends. While occupying Wuhan would certainly yield considerable political, economic, and especially personal influence benefits, the negative impact on the Party and the military would be even greater.

We must resist this temptation, otherwise we will fall into the trap of "left-wing adventurism" or "left-wing opportunism" in a minute.

Before the war, Li Desheng repeatedly emphasized this to commanders and fighters at all levels;

However, seeing the Nationalist army in chaos, some people could not resist the temptation, forgot their original goal, and wanted to really take Wuhan. Zeng Zhongsheng was especially interested.

This person's letter of request for battle was the most forceful, and he was also one of the first to take the lead in writing "blood letters".

Recalling Zeng Zhongsheng's previous public disobedience, his criticism, and his subsequent denunciation of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Branch's "outstanding achievements," Li Desheng became even more enraged: "Give it to me..."

He originally planned to send a telegram immediately to severely criticize Zeng Zhongsheng and others, but after thinking about it, he held back:

"Send a message to all units, and tell them to act according to the pre-war plan. If there are any changes, the branch party committee will notify you separately. All commanders and fighters are requested to strictly observe combat discipline!" "Yes!"

The messenger went down to deliver the message. He Zizhen offered Li Desheng a glass of water to calm him down, while UMP45 said leisurely, "Comrade Li Desheng, if we really do enter Wuhan, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for the grand strategy you initially formulated for the Central Committee!" "Hmm?"

Li Desheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, but shook his head:

"Whether it is a bad thing or not is still unknown... Let's finish this battle first!" The order was quickly passed down.

Unlike the time they were bullied when they first entered the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, this time, the various units of the Red Fourth Front Army responded with a very obedient attitude: "Resolutely carry out the orders of the branch party committee and Chairman Li!"

No one disobeyed the order.

204 The fat ones will be dragged to thinness, the thin ones will be dragged to death, and the dead ones will be eaten

“…hiss…hiss…”

After waking up from the operation, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek felt only numbness in his body and a sharp pain in his head. When he opened his eyes, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

"Master! Master! You're awake!"

"Chairman! You're finally awake!"

"Commissioner! Everything is fine! Everything is fine!"

"The principal is indeed very strong!"

Um?

Is there something weird mixed in?

Never mind.

In short, all the noisy noises made Chiang Kai-shek's head hurt even more. He wanted to yell, but he didn't have the strength at all. He could only ask weakly: "What's the situation outside now? Where are the Communist bandits?"

"....Well..."

Everyone was speechless and looked at each other for a long time before someone began to quietly explain the current situation to him. In short, Bobo was dead.

In the east, the main force of the Communist bandits (Li Desheng's troops), numbering over 3, had already crossed the Huanggang-Ezhou line and arrived near what would later be known as Wuhan East Lake. They were gathering boats to prepare for a river crossing.

In the southwest, a Communist bandit force numbering no less than 20,000 (He Long's Guan Xiangying troops) had already broken through the defenses of the 48th Division of the 10th National Army and entered Hanyang County; in the north, an unknown but powerful Communist bandit force (Deng Hua's 12th Red Division) continued to harass and delay the National Army near Huangpi, preventing them from returning to support.

To put it bluntly, of the so-called "Three Towns of Wuhan," only Hankou, where the core of the Nationalist government resides, has yet to face the Communist bandits.

The Nationalist army, originally tasked with guarding against the "Communist bandits fleeing westward," now had only one option left: flee westward. "West... West? ? ? "

Faced with his subordinates' suggestion to "retreat immediately towards Sichuan", Chiang Kai-shek's eyes widened: "What are all those troops in Wuhan doing? I...hiss..."

The wound was disturbed again, causing Jiang to grimace in pain. Then he heard a weak voice:

"Committee Chairman, have you forgotten? Wuhan now has only more than 3 but less than 4 regular troops. I'm afraid they can't stop the Communist bandits..." "Where are the other troops? They..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chairman Chiang shut up. Where had the other troops gone?

Either they were annihilated, or his orders were transferred to "pursue the communist bandits"! Great, this is great.

The advantage is... on the Communist Party's side!!

"Chairman, let's retreat quickly! The Communist vanguard is less than 50 miles away from here..." "Why retreat? I won't retreat!"

This was not only because of the loss of face, but also because Chairman Chiang knew very well that he could not evacuate like this and leave Wuhan to the Communist bandits; the economic and military losses were secondary, politically, this was tantamount to suicide.

Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, Li Zongren, Li Jishen...even He Xiangning and Soong Ching Ling, these bastards would never miss this opportunity to bring him down. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's seniority in the Nationalist government was not long, and his entrenched foundation was not deep, but he had many enemies!

(It should be noted here that after the Xinhai Revolution, the legitimacy of ruling China had long since departed from the feudal system of "seniority.")

(Chiang Kai-shek's tactics were the result of his own attempt to restore feudalism. If he didn't try, he wouldn't be able to rule the Kuomintang with his private army. If he did, someone would inevitably use seniority to suppress him.) No way!

Never evacuate!

"Order all troops in Wuhan! Stay in place and seek an opportunity to counterattack! Order all troops in Henan, Anhui, and Hubei to return to defense immediately! Return to defense immediately!"

Looking at the furious Chiang Kai-shek, everyone understood that he could not be persuaded at this moment.

Whoever persuades will die.

but...

After hearing Chiang Kai-shek's new order, some senior generals, such as Li Jishen, smiled meaningfully and ordered their guards to begin preparing to flee Wuhan. This was because they were keenly aware that the Nationalist army was about to face an unprecedented defeat... no, a series of unprecedented defeats.

Don't forget that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek had issued orders like this before:

Sometimes the troops were sent to Xinji and Huangan to besiege the Communist bandits, sometimes they were sent to Henan in the north to pursue the Communist bandits; sometimes they were sent to Lu'an and Anqing to besiege the Communist bandits, sometimes they were sent to Nanjing to intercept the Communist bandits;

The most recent command is:

"A few Communist bandits are harassing Wuhan. This is just bluffing. Don't worry, all units should proceed as planned and look for opportunities to gradually move closer to Wuhan." Okay!

The troops have already slowed down and stopped, and now you're sending people rushing to Wuhan. Do you think everyone is a monster who can fight continuously without food or water? In this situation, it would be strange if we didn't lose the battle!

Li Jishen dared to bet that the Communist army must have a backup plan waiting for them! For example, besieging the enemy and attacking the reinforcements!

In fact, Boss Li’s guess was absolutely correct.

After receiving the first telegram from the Generalissimo regarding the presence of Communist troops in Wuhan, the various Nationalist units were already scratching their heads. What's wrong with the old man/the Generalissimo/the chairman/the principal?
