1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Since the CCP wants to show the whole of China that it is the true ruling party, it cannot be "secret" but should be open and aboveboard;

Not only must we be fair and square, but we must also be able to easily defeat any enemy that attacks us while showing our true colors!

In this way, the enemy will be frightened and many unnecessary disputes will be reduced!

Strength is also an important factor in gaining support!

"So, tell Xu Haidong that as long as they dare to attack, there's no need to hold back. If you're going to fight, hit them hard all at once! Strike the first blow to prevent a hundred!"

"Wow…"

UMP45 whistled. Another famous scene was released early.

This is the treatment you received during the Korean War. That warlord Jing, can you handle it?

"...Gao Shuangcheng!! I've told you so many times! This is a political war! Not a military war!"

Faced with his subordinates trying to persuade him again, a man with a mustache who wouldn't be surprised if he cursed "Baga" was extremely annoyed. He slapped the man in the face in front of all his subordinates and roared:

"You're already in your forties or fifties! Can you use your brain? You believe whatever the Communists say!"

If Gao Shuangcheng hadn't been his old subordinate since the Tongmenghui era, a man known for his bravery in battle and high prestige within the army, Jing Yuexiu would have shot him to death long ago!

Ever since the Communists announced their cooperation with the KMT and issued a series of anti-Japanese declarations, Gao Shuangcheng, commander of the 256th Brigade of the 86th Division, has become increasingly unsettled.

Not only did he stop being anti-communist and openly support the CCP's policy of "putting aside internal contradictions and jointly fighting foreign enemies", but after learning that Jing Yuexiu wanted to join forces with Lu Dachang and others to besiege the Red Army, he also tried hard to persuade himself not to do so.

Look, I've been trying to persuade them since before we set out, and now that I'm leading the 86th Division and about to go to war with the Communists, I'm still trying to persuade them!

The Communist bandits suddenly became your father?! "Master!"

Gao Shuangcheng, who was nearly 50 years old, did not feel the slightest bit of humiliation from being slapped in the face, and continued to persuade:

"The Chinese Communist Army is heading north to fight the Japanese, and they're only going through northern Shaanxi to Chahar. The division commander can't use this as a reason to attack them, or they'll be condemned by the whole country!"

"They're almost at my doorstep! And you're still defending them!"

Jing Yuexiu was furious:

"They want to go to Chahar. Why don't they go to Hebei or Shanxi? Why do they have to go through my northern Shaanxi? Isn't this obviously a bad intention?"

"Commander, according to the agreement signed between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Communist Party's troops can pass through anywhere. Besides, northern Shaanxi belongs to China..."

"Snapped!"

Jing Yuexiu couldn't help it anymore and slapped Gao Shuangcheng again. Anywhere?

Chinese?

I don't care where any other place is or who it belongs to, but it can't be my Shaanxi!

I will never allow the Communist bandits to pass through my territory! Not even from the edge!

If we don't deal a good hand to these arrogant and domineering Communist bandits who only managed to defeat the Central Army through conspiracy and luck, they will probably never know where the sun will rise!

This is a political battle!

As long as he defeats the Communist bandits, Jing Yuexiu's voice in northern Shaanxi, Shaanxi, the north, and even the entire country will be elevated to an unimaginable level!

Not to mention Yan Laoxi, Yang Hucheng and the Mongolian princes and nobles, even Chairman Chiang had to be polite and not give him an 86th Division just because he had annihilated the Shaanxi-Northern Communist bandits (Red 24th Army) as if it were alms!

By then, Jing Yuexiu's name will surely be known throughout the world!

For the sake of reputation and to protect his own territory, Jing Yuexiu not only mobilized all his elite troops this time, but also contacted surrounding warlords everywhere, and even pinched his nose to greet Yan Xishan and his old rival Gao Guizi.

From this, we can see how strong his will was to annihilate/suppress the Red Army heading north.

And now, his own capable subordinates are strongly opposing his policies. Do you think he is annoyed?

"Gao Shuangcheng! From now on, you and your 256th Brigade, stay put! Once I've dealt with the Communists, I'll come back and deal with you!"

Jing Yuexiu cracked his whip hard and left with a mighty force of nearly 8000 people, leaving Gao Shuangcheng standing there worried and helpless.

I hope the two sides don't clash too violently. I hope the Red Army will quickly retreat when they see the situation is getting worse. Otherwise...

After a whole day of anxious waiting, Gao Shuangcheng finally saw someone coming back. However, it wasn't his old boss Jing Yuexiu, but...

"Xie Zichang? Yan Hongyan?"

"It's me, Brigade Commander Gao." "Teacher, long time no see."

(Gao Shuangcheng was once the commander of the 2nd Division of the 9th Route Army of the Nationalist Allied Forces)

e3,

Gao Shuangcheng felt something was amiss when he saw these two former subordinates who had served under him and were highly respected, but who had later been expelled and wanted for their Communist Party memberships.

"Why are you here? Didn't you see the fighting going on along the way?"

The problem was not that the two of them, clearly Communist Party members and former "traitors" of the 18th Temporary Division in northern Shaanxi, dared to appear before him;

The problem was that they were coming from the direction Jing Yuexiu had left, and were followed by two Red Army soldiers with obviously different equipment;

Gao Shuangcheng didn’t dare to think about what this meant.

,

Xie and Yan exchanged a glance, and in the end, it was Yan Hongyan, who had a closer relationship with Gao Shuangcheng and later became a general in the People's Liberation Army, who spoke up to explain his purpose:

"Brigade Commander Gao, we are here on behalf of the advance division of the Red Army's Northward Anti-Japanese Corps to inform you and your 256th Brigade to lay down your arms and surrender immediately."

"Notify... surrender?"

"Yes, Jing Yuexiu's army has been completely annihilated, and Jing Yuexiu himself died from the accidental discharge of his service rifle while fleeing. Therefore, please surrender immediately. Our army does not wish to engage in armed conflict with Brigade Commander Gao."

3,

Gao Shuangcheng was stunned for a few seconds, and finally understood what Yan Hongyan said, but he shouted in disbelief:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" That's 8000 people!

8000 armed soldiers!

Let alone 8000 people, even if it was 8000 pigs, it is said that the Communist army of only 3000 people could not kill or capture them all in one day and one night!

This doesn't even include the time it takes to send someone to report after the fight is over!

"Believe it or not, that's the truth."

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of guards, Xie Zichang waved his hand, and a Red Army soldier opened the package he was carrying and took out the contents.

All of a sudden, all the Kuomintang troops, including Gao Shuangcheng, felt dizzy and could not even stand steadily!

Because, that is the flag of the 86th Division!! This... this...

For three full minutes, there was no sound at all.

Even though there were only four people on the Communist side, the Nationalist army, which had hundreds of times more people than them, all showed fear in their eyes, as if they were looking at gods.

"How...how did you do it?"

"If Commander Gao is interested, you can find out for yourself. Now, please lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. Alternatively, Commander Gao, please order your troops to remove their equipment, discard their ammunition, and wait in place."

"This political battle is over! It's time to end it!"

337 Jiang, wants to kill someone

Did the "Zhengning Incident" shock the entire nation?

not at all.

Because the CCP handled this matter very "low-key".

As for Lu Dachang's newly formed 14th Division (actually the 5th Brigade of the former 13th Division), since the two sides had not fought at all, everyone tacitly pretended that it was a beautiful day and nothing had happened.

对于孙蔚如的16师(实际上是前13师第1、2、3旅)，顾及到和杨虎城的合作，中共对外宣称自己的先遣师开火是遭到了土匪的袭击;

Only Jing Yuexiu's 86th Division had some "trouble".

After all, Sun and Lu were at most the "ragtag troops" under their command who were beaten (although they themselves were ragtag troops in the eyes of the Kuomintang), but the man in northern Shaanxi had even his leader dead.

However, it’s not that troublesome.

Because the 86th Division has Gao Shuangcheng from the 256th Brigade who is fully cooperating.

After the Red Army agreed to spare Jing Yuexiu's family, Brigade Commander Gao calmly led the 256th Brigade in a collective surrender, and then announced in the name of the 86th Division that Jing Yuexiu died from an accidental discharge of a pistol that fell to the ground.

Thus, the major event that Jing Yuexiu, the brother of Jing Wumu, the leader of the 1911 Revolution in Shaanxi and one of the early members of the Tongmenghui, died at the hands of the Red Army was thus covered up.

(This guy died inexplicably in history)

Popular opinion claimed that the unrest in northern Shaanxi was simply a result of the Red Army's advance team being attacked by bandits while passing through Zhengning County, leading to a fierce battle.

There are too many bandits these days. It is not surprising to see bandits like Liu Zhenhua, who have a large group of tens of thousands of people, guns, cannons and cars.

However, the Kuomintang, who were qualified to know the inside story, were horrified. In their view, the CCP's advance division of only 3000 men, facing the 16th Division (6000 men), the newly formed 14th Division (5000 men), and the 86th Division (10000 men), could actually win three battles in a row, completely annihilating 16000 men and forcing 5000 to retreat in two days.

Even if the advance division was completely annihilated, and even if the Shaanxi and Gansu armies were always poorly equipped and weak in combat effectiveness, the Red Army's combat effectiveness had already completely exceeded their imagination;

Moreover, judging from the fact that they quickly headed north after the battle, pretending to occupy Yulin (Jing Yuexiu's hometown), the Red Army's advance division probably suffered no casualties at all!

This guy is no longer a fucking human being.

Therefore, without triggering a nationwide public outcry, the CCP successfully deterred all the scoundrels and disobedient people who were qualified to watch in secret.

Those who tried to cause trouble along the Red Army's march, such as Yan Xishan and his ilk, all retreated and withdrew their own troops along the route by at least 100 kilometers to avoid causing misunderstandings among the Red Army.

Of course, the fact that there was no widespread publicity in the media does not mean that the CCP has let this matter go.

You can put the face aside for now, but you must get the substance!

Soon, Chairman Chiang, who was recuperating in Wuhan, received the war report and the CCP's letter of protest, and he immediately flew into a rage:

“Fuck you!!!”

Let's be reasonable. Although Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to destroy the Red Army, and although he would be very happy if Jing Yuexiu succeeded, this time it was not his order.

Up to this point, Chiang Kai-shek himself was still recuperating in Hankou, and the Red Army in Wuhan had not yet completely evacuated (moved away). Only he would be crazy to provoke the CCP's sensitive nerves at this time!

Damn Jing Yuexiu!

He can't do anything properly, he's really a waste! Waste! Now that's good, northern Shaanxi is completely lost!

"... Chairman Chiang, we need an explanation from you." CCP representative Chen Changhao, with a stern face, handed over a letter of protest to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: "Otherwise, we will not rule out the possibility of using force to resolve the issue." Compared to the historical "Second KMT-CCP ​​Cooperation," when the CCP "forbeared" in the face of various provocations from the KMT, the CCP in this world is not so polite;

After all, in the "Xi'an Incident" that prompted the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in history, the Communist Party mainly played the role of "mediator", while in the "Wuhan Incident", the Communist Party was the undisputed leader, so its status was naturally different;

Because they were not incorporated into the "National Revolutionary Army" (so there is no Eighth Route Army in this world) and their status was completely equal to that of the National Government, their attitude towards the National Government could be described as "fight or scold if they want to";

At least, until Chairman Chiang's anus recovered, the CCP could be as arrogant as it wanted.

e，,

In the entire Communist Party of China, apart from Li Desheng, if we were to ask who Chairman Chiang hated the most, it would undoubtedly be Chen Changhao in front of him.

As a representative of the Communist Party of China who had been staying in Hankou since the end of the Wuhan Battle and was responsible for negotiating with the Kuomintang and making the Kuomintang suffer in various ways, Chen Changhao was definitely a person full of hatred.

This guy is young and has a bad face. He treats the Nationalist government and its people without any courtesy. He tries every possible way to gain benefits for the Communist Party. It is surprising that he is not regarded as a thorn in the side of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

What's more, the status is not equal!

I, Chiang Kai-shek, am the leader of the Nationalist government. Who the hell are you, Chen Changhao? You're not even an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, yet you dare to show off in front of me!

But what could Chairman Chiang do?

I am the meat on the chopping board. Even if Chen Changhao is a soldier without any official title, since he represents the will of the CCP, I can only flatter him politely.

"... Representative Chen, I'm aware of this matter and will definitely give you an explanation."

"Then please, Chairman Chiang, give me a plan so I can respond to the Party Central Committee."

ee

,,

Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said gloomily: "I wonder what explanation you want?"

He realized that, just like last time, the CCP had already arranged everything and just wanted a "name" from him.

As expected, Chen Changhao immediately gave the answer:

"We demand that Jing Yuexiu be removed from his positions as commander of the 86th Division and garrison commander of northern Shaanxi, and that Gao Shuang be appointed commander of the 86th Division!"

As for the "junk metal" seized by the advance division, it naturally belonged to the Communist Party of China.

,,

Chiang Kai-shek was very confused about the CCP’s demands, and even thought, “Are these the only conditions?”
