1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

General Zhu, Xiang Yin, Wang Jiaxiang, Deng Zhongxia, Deng Fa, Ren Bishi, Guan Xiangying, Peng Dehuai, He Long, Lin Biao... almost everyone was "disturbed" by one of these two people.

However, as Wu Hao expected, many people were happy to be "disturbed." In fact, those who opposed Li Desheng's views did not really hate him, but simply had different political views.

After Li Desheng presented so many facts and evidence, a considerable number of people had already been convinced and were just waiting for an opportunity.

Now, Li and Wu took the initiative to bring this "opportunity" to the door, and many people took the opportunity to do so, expressing their willingness to accept the views expressed in the daytime meeting.

That's just how people are.

Only those who can overcome human weaknesses can be considered great men.

The meeting that was postponed until noon the next day went extremely smoothly. There was no longer a scene like yesterday where a group of people gathered around Li Desheng to "refute" his views.

Even Ren Bishi, who originally opposed it the most, only suggested that the Red Army could still find an opportunity to confront the Japanese army, and his tone became much softer.

Li Desheng, of course, would not stubbornly resist, and directly promised to find an opportunity to engage the main force of the Japanese army or the puppet Manchukuo army within this year, and then once again elaborated on the idea of ​​"protracted struggle and guerrilla tactics";

This time, no one openly opposed it. At most, they supported it while expressing reservations, intending to wait and see the "aftermath."

For Li Desheng and Wu Hao, this was enough. As long as there was no opposition, the rear would not become a burden to the front;

As soon as this period of time passes and the situation becomes clear, no one will oppose it anymore.

Then, Li Desheng proposed a new motion:

Regarding the revision of the "Draft Provisional Regulations on Political Work of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", the focus is on "limiting the power of political commissars."

As soon as this proposal was put forward, it immediately received support from almost all the military generals present;

Some even openly complained that the previous political commissar system overly restricted the power of military commanders. While it ensured the principle of the Party commanding the armed forces, it made military commanders hesitant and afraid to act.

There have been cases in the past where the two sides disagreed, argued endlessly, and quarreled loudly, and then missed the opportunity to fight while waiting for the superior's decision.

This statement does make sense.

The "final decision-making power" is like a sword of imperial power. The political commissar may not use it, but it is very uncomfortable when it hangs on the neck of the military commander.

Not everyone has Wu Hao's ability to tolerate compromise, persuade others, and his soft temperament. Even less does not everyone have Li Desheng's strong organizational discipline, which allows him to simply complain even when wronged.

Some military commanders, when they lose their temper, get into arguments with their political commissars and sometimes make mistakes.

Therefore, when Li Desheng proposed to give military commanders greater combat power, all military cadres, from General Zhu to Lin Biao, raised their hands in agreement.

A small number of political cadres, including Wang Jiaxiang, wanted to object, but they found that they did not have much reason to object, because the political commissar had only lost the "final decision-making power during combat", but all other powers were still in his hands.

In other words, the principle of the Party commanding the guns remained unchanged. The Red Army, lacking logistical support and with officers and soldiers at all levels still under the Party's control, was simply not likely to do anything that would harm the Party and the people. So what was there to oppose?

As if to strike while the iron was hot, Wu Hao also proposed a new motion: to select more military cadres to join the ranks of Central Committee members or alternate members. This proposal was even less opposed.

For military cadres, this was a major political step forward, allowing them to more legitimately and directly influence central government policies, and they were naturally satisfied.

For local political cadres, even if they did not hold the position of Central Committee member, in the current revolutionary war period, the Central Committee could not fail to consider the opinions of military cadres when issuing policies;

In this case, it would be better to bring these influential military cadres into the framework of the Central Committee and use the framework to confine them, which would only further strengthen the "Party's command of the gun."

Therefore, the election of new Central Committee (alternate) members was preliminarily decided, but it would have to wait until the national situation was basically stable and the next "X Central Committee Plenary Session" was held.

Then, when Li Desheng proposed that some military cadres should go to the "Northward Corps University" to study and even participate in economic construction, the audience only agreed.

In the eyes of military officials, this was equivalent to Li Desheng taking the initiative to "recruit people to participate in the Northern Expedition and make meritorious contributions." Of course, they could not disagree.

But in the eyes of the political cadres, this was an extremely clever move by Li Desheng to peacefully remove the military power of some unruly military cadres, leaving them speechless.

Didn't you say you wanted to fight against the Japanese? Fine, I'll let you make progress now! Huh?

progress?

That's right, if you study hard in college, and once you've learned well, you can go fight the Japanese.

what?

You said there's nothing good to learn in this crappy university?

Everyone in the Party who has come into contact with Comrade Ma Shiwu is deeply impressed by her academic prowess. How dare you say there's nothing worth learning at the "Bingtuan University" that she co-founded and that even Comrade Liu Bocheng wanted to study at?

Come on, come on, stick your head out there and ask Comrade Ma Shiwu or those who admire Comrade Ma Shiwu if they want to give you a buff?

Even if we put aside the issue of Ma Shiwu, going to school to study and continuously improving oneself is inherently politically correct. How can one oppose this?

There's no way I could object to that!

Therefore, this is a complete conspiracy, a conspiracy that no one can or dares to refuse.

Because their combat powers were increased and they could also join the Central Committee, Zhu Dehuai and other military cadres were very satisfied. They peacefully removed the military powers of some cadres and reduced their interference in the operations of the northbound corps.

It further strengthened the principle of the Party commanding the armed forces, further deepened control over the military, improved the comprehensive capabilities of military cadres, provided reserve cadres for economic development, and even coordinated military-civilian relations.

This trick is brilliant!

Some people were secretly surprised. They looked at Wu Hao's smiling face, recalled the conversation last night or early this morning, and seemed to understand something.

This chain of events does not seem like the style of Wu Hao or Li Desheng alone, but more like the product of the combination of their ideas.

Li Desheng's political and military vision has undoubtedly been fully proven, and Wu Hao's political skills have also been fully verified;

The two of them combined...

Farsighted and cunning as a fox?

"Next, please have Comrade Liu Bocheng of the Central Military and Political School report on the 'Proposal on Abolishing the Outdated Titles of Positions within the Red Army'..."

"Comrade Feng Dafei of the Central Red Army Aviation Brigade, please report on matters related to the brigade's development and the recruitment of new pilots..."

"Comrade Cai Chang from the Women's Work Department, please report..."

A conference concluded successfully.

372 Sorry, taking over the airport is just a side job

Outside Changsha, several old farmers who were sweating profusely while tending to the fields in the autumn suddenly heard the roar of an airplane in the distant sky.

"Woo..."

Um?

Is this... the movement of the big iron bird?

Planes are not uncommon in Changsha. After all, it is a provincial capital and everyone has seen or heard of them to some extent. These old farmers can even judge from their experience that the plane is getting closer and closer to them.

Alas?

Wait, isn't that too close?

Several people squinted their eyes and looked up, only to be horrified to find a small biplane fighter plane flying straight towards them. In the sunlight, the large red five-pointed star was so conspicuous!

"Wow! ! !"

The farmers were so frightened that they dropped their farm tools and fled in all directions. It was the Communist bandits!

It's the Communist bandits!

During this period, this red five-star and its meaning are known to everyone in Changsha.

After the loss of Nanchang, a large number of landlords, wealthy businessmen, and officials fled from Nanchang to Changsha, which was only 300 kilometers away, and brought news of the Communist bandits.

In these people's descriptions, the CCP certainly cannot get any good comments. Naturally, they are called "cannibals," "heart-diggers," and "communist wives."

In addition, the Red Army had recently frequently sent planes from Nanchang to conduct reconnaissance and training, so the red five-star naturally became the representative of the evil organization "Communist bandits".

Although the Red Army had briefly occupied Changsha for a few days two years ago, it did not have time to implement many "benevolent policies". The meager memory has long been forgotten by the people.

The pilot of the UMP45 was unaware that his low-altitude pass had added a bit of "bad reputation" to the Red Army, and later even caused a farce of "a child stopped crying after hearing the five stars";

She just leisurely flew the plane over the hill, then lowered the altitude to less than ten meters from the ground. After feeling the plane suddenly sink, she suddenly pulled it up and flew away.

"Hey! Long time no see."

UMP45 waved to her teammate who had just climbed onto the plane without even looking at her. The teammate simply nodded silently and switched directly to the second level of the Cloud Atlas (which could be considered an online chat room) for easier communication:

"45, you're late."

"Oh, after all, I just went to Nanchang! I'm the one with an important mission, Comrade Ma Yiliu."

"You talk as if I don't have a mission."

"Hehe, I need someone to protect me, that's delicate work, you're killing people and robbing them, that's what rough guys do..."

"Do you believe I can kick you off the plane?" "Hey hey... you dare to kick the captain?"

"Don't forget to say goodbye. The commander said that as long as I kill He Jian, I will be the captain."

The captain of Team 404 and the "captain usurper" exchanged their usual words for a while, then got down to business:

"Are we going to carry out the mission right now?"

"Although I think so...but you also know that Changsha has an air force, although it is very weak..."

"If you don't solve the problem, you won't feel comfortable looking for someone?" "So..."

"I understand. Let's take down this air force first."

"Don't be so rude. There are still people who want those scrap metals. We can do this..."

After the two men discussed the battle plan, the plane turned and flew towards the Xiangjiang River in the north of the city. They soon saw the airport which was not too large.

It was not until the five-star aircraft appeared within sight of the naked eye that the Changsha Xinhe Airport under the Kuomintang sounded the shrill air defense alarm.

Changsha Xinhe Airport, built by the Northern Expedition Army in 1926, was the first place where planes took off and landed in Changsha. After several renovations and expansions, it eventually became the most frequently used airport in Changsha.

In 1930, Huang Fei, a Changsha native and son of the Beiyang Finance Secretary and the general manager of the Zhongyuan Bank, returned from France after studying aviation technology. At the invitation of He Jian, chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, he came to Changsha to build an air force.

Since He Jian regarded the construction of the Hunan Air Force as an important plan to consolidate his position and break free from Chiang Kai-shek's control, he put a lot of effort into it, and bought 10 aircraft from abroad for the first batch.

However, how could Chiang Kai-shek, a powerful warlord himself, tolerate He Jian's disloyalty?

Green Gang hooliganism, let's go!

As soon as these 10 aircraft entered customs, the four most technologically advanced and best-performing ones were seized by the Nanjing government, leaving only six aircraft with inferior performance for Changsha, four of which were "Moss" trainer aircraft with almost no combat capability.

Although He Jian purchased 10 more aircraft for the Hunan Air Force before his death, they were basically training aircraft. He no longer dared to buy the better-performing "Kesa" and "Linkok" aircraft.

Not only that, the originally designed two-team organization of Hunan Airlines was only allowed to keep one team. Huang Fei, who had run around for the aviation team and the airport and made great contributions, could only be the deputy captain "in charge of daily affairs."

Therefore, one can imagine the situation of Huang Fei himself, the Hunan Air Force and even the entire Xinhe Airport today, just after the big backstage He Jian was killed.

"Captain! Captain!"

The door was kicked open, and several anxious-looking pilots rushed into the room. Without hesitation, they woke up Huang Fei, who was once again drunk.

"Wake up! Wake up! The Communist planes are coming again!"

"Well.."

After a long while, Huang Fei slowly woke up, but he was too lazy to even open his eyes. He waved his hands impatiently and burped as he spoke:

"Come... come if you want! Chairman He... said... hide the plane... uh... don't fight the Communists..."

s3

Chairman He is dead, and there is still Chairman He! The pilots were extremely helpless.

Since the complete failure of the Battle of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek's "capture" and the handing over of Nanchang to the Communist Party of China, the domestic situation has changed greatly.

As a small warlord who had long harbored ulterior motives, He Jian naturally refused to work for someone named Jiang, who was currently suffering from misfortune and was suppressing him.

Therefore, he not only ordered the Hunan garrison to retreat completely and not allow aircraft to bomb or harass Nanchang, but after the release of the "Declaration of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Fight against Japan," he even banned aircraft from taking off!

If the Communists take it down, it would be a huge loss!

Therefore, even if the Communist army only sent one plane to harass, the 16 planes at Xinhe Airport all dared to hide in the hangar and not come out.

He Jian's thinking was this: the KMT and the CCP are cooperating now. If you, the Communist Party, dare to shoot down my plane, it would be unacceptable no matter how you explain it.

At that time, whether it is to attack the Communist bandits in public opinion or to continue to flatter Chiang Kai-shek if he recovers his power, it will be possible to retreat or advance;

However, for the pilots, this is a great shame.

The enemy is showing off its might overhead, but you don't even dare to take off to meet the enemy. What kind of thing is this?

Seeing that the captain was soundly asleep and refused to give the order to fight, the other pilots had no choice but to stamp their feet in anger, leave the room one after another and go straight to their own hangar.

If the Communist army dares to bomb me, I will die with my car!

After his subordinates left, Huang Fei slowly opened one eye and sighed deeply. Do you think he didn't want to take off and meet the enemy?

The question is, in this situation, does he dare?

First, according to the KMT government's public definition, the current Communist army was not an enemy army. In the grand scheme of the national anti-Japanese war, whoever opened fire first was in the wrong, and whoever was of lower rank took the blame.
