Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Ordinary people may not be able to understand any strategic intentions, but they can see who is better in the war of resistance from the simple casualties.They still have a lot of admiration for the troops who regained the lost ground.

It's just that the national government who heard the news didn't pay attention to how high the Eighth Route Army's propaganda was.What they were more concerned about was that nearly [-] little devils surrendered to them during the electrification of the Eighth Route Army.

All the anti-Japanese troops who have fought against the little devil know how stubborn the little devil is.It is indeed very difficult to catch a living little devil.This point is the consensus of almost all anti-Japanese troops.

But this time, for the first time, the independent column forced the remnants of the No. 12 Division of the Japanese Army to surrender.Most importantly, among the little devils who surrendered, there were two Japanese major generals.This is really unbelievable!

Lao Jiang, who called the general meeting, said with a gloomy expression: "What do you think about the good news of the Eighth Route Army's electrification? If this continues, the people may forget that we are the central * government representing China! "

"Committee, for the good news of the Eighth Route Army's electrification, I think it is still necessary to give a certain reward.As a unit in the National Revolutionary Army sequence, they have achieved certain results, and we can get some benefits to some extent.

Now the progress of our battle on the front line seems somewhat unfavorable.I think it is beneficial to have such news to divert the attention of the people.But this kind of credit should not be exclusive to the Eighth Route Army.

As a unit in the National Revolutionary Army sequence, I think they should turn in some spoils.Since they emphasized that everything captured should be returned to the public, then a batch of the Japanese soldiers they captured this time should also be handed over to us.

This can also prove that they can achieve such a victory, and it is also related to the support of the national government and the committee.I think it is necessary for the two Japanese major generals to be handed over to Chongqing. '

As Minister of Military and Political Affairs, He Yingqin quickly uttered such seemingly 'reasonable' words.But if you think about it carefully, everyone here knows that He Yingqin's real intention is to snatch the fruits of victory from the Eighth Route Army.

Most importantly, if the National Government asked the Eighth Route Army to hand over the two captured major generals, it is estimated that the Eighth Route Army would not be able to refuse.After all, it is the Nationalist Government in Chongqing that presides over China's unified war of resistance.

After hearing what He Yingqin said, someone immediately echoed: "That's right! These two Japanese major generals must be transferred to Chongqing by the Eighth Route Army. This will play a very important role in promoting our anti-Japanese war, and will help improve the morale of the army and the people against the Japanese army. .”

On the other hand, when Lao Jiang heard this, he also felt that this reason should be very appropriate.If these two major generals of the Japanese army can be obtained, it will be beneficial to improve the image of the national government in the world.

It's just that he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to hand over the two Japanese major generals in vain.If the Eighth Route Army is a member of the National Revolutionary Army as an excuse, the Eighth Route Army may not buy it.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that since the establishment of the Eighth Route Army, except for some military salaries allocated by the Nationalist Government when it was first formed, it has never been allocated a dime to the Eighth Route Army since then.

This level of harshness is probably more excessive than Lao Jiang's treatment of other warlord troops.If it weren't for the fact that the Eighth Route Army had gotten used to hard times and didn't count on the Nationalist government to pay for it, they probably would have ignored the Nationalist government a long time ago.

Now that they see the benefits and want to reach out, the Eighth Route Army may not sell it.This also means that if the Eighth Route Army wants to hand over these two major generals, it also needs to have a good discussion with the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, before He Zhengdao led the troops back to Yulin, the central government received a telegram from the Nationalist government, hoping that the Eighth Route Army would escort the two Japanese major generals and the Japanese assistant officers captured this time to Chongqing for detention and public trial.

Of course, in the telegram, the national government also stated that the intention of letting them hand over was more to promote the anti-Japanese unity.But how could the Eighth Route Army not know that the National Government wanted to use their trophies for publicity!

The first time Mao Taizu saw the telegram, he laughed and said: "Old Jiang has a good plan! It's so easy to snatch the fruits of victory that belong to us with empty words."

On the other hand, Zhou Enlai, who looked a little frowning when he saw the telegram, said in a timely manner: "Chairman, if the National Government insists on us handing over these prisoners of war, I'm afraid we won't be able to refuse directly. After all, this is the period of the Unified War of Resistance.

If we refuse, I believe the Central Army will preach that we are destroying the United Front of the War of Resistance.Regarding this matter, I think it still needs to be carefully considered.Worst of all, I have to have a good talk with the Central Army! "

Although many people know that the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is more of a discord between the face and the heart.But at the moment when the face was not torn apart, no one dared to be the first to tear up the cooperation.That would be very detrimental to the current overall situation of the War of Resistance.

Although many veterans of the Red Army were not very happy about the reorganization into the Eighth Route Army.But since he accepted the reorganization and wore the blue sky and white sun cap badge, it is not a good thing to ignore the leadership of the national government too much.

Hearing what Zhou Enlai said, Mao Taizu also felt that this matter might be really tricky.At least Mao Taizu knew that the Eighth Route Army could not allow the Central Army to find an excuse to undermine the unified War of Resistance.

If it is really torn apart, it may not be a good thing for the current Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As the saying goes, "Eat what you eat, you will gain wisdom." It is clear that in the first two-party cooperation, Mao Taizu and others suffered a lot.For the overall situation of the unification of the Anti-Japanese War, he chose to cooperate with the Nationalist Government for the second joint anti-Japanese war between the two parties.

It's just that compared to the second time in history that the two parties cooperated, the Eighth Route Army was still suppressed by the Nationalist government.In this cooperation, the Eighth Route Army not only accepts the appointment of the Nationalist Government in name, but also has more characteristics in the cooperation charter.

Even with the growing strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Northwest and North China, Yan Xishan, who was originally the commander of the Second Theater, did not have the direct authority to mobilize the troops of the Eighth Route Army to participate in the battle of the Second Theater as in history.

Generally speaking, Yan Xishan only has the right to make suggestions on matters involving the need for the Eighth Route Army to send troops to fight against the war. In the end, whether the Eighth Route Army sends troops depends on the decision of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.This is the freedom to send troops that the Eighth Route Army wanted when signing the cooperation agreement.

Lao Jiang didn't want to agree to the conditions originally proposed by the Eighth Route Army.But at that time, the Songhu Battle started, and Lao Jiang, who was unable to take care of the northern theater, was forced by the domestic call for a joint war of resistance, and finally signed this cooperation agreement.

It is also these cooperation agreements that require the Central Army and other theaters to seek the consent of the Eighth Route Army when they want to mobilize the Eighth Route Army to participate in the war.In a word, whether to send troops depends on the intention of the Eighth Route Army.

Originally, in the eyes of Lao Jiang and the generals of the Central Army, it was difficult to resist the powerful North China Front Army with the strength of the second theater alone.But no one expected that in just over a year, the Eighth Route Army would continue to grow stronger in the face of adversity.

At present, the Eighth Route Army, in addition to the defense area before the reorganization, will also expand the scope of the base area to the front line from Suiyuan to Mongolia.Even most of Shanxi, which Yan Xishan regards as his old nest, has mostly become the anti-Japanese bases of the Eighth Route Army.

This speed of development has indeed made the Central Army feel the pressure.Especially with the repeated victories of the Eighth Route Army in North China, those who are worried about the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army feel deeply worried, fearing that the Eighth Route Army will be destroyed in the future.

Even if the attack focus of the Japanese invaders is now more on the southern provinces, which are the inherent territory of the Central Army.But with the opening of the all-out war of resistance, the actions of the Eighth Route Army in the Northwest and North China are also obvious to all.

The Central Army and the Japanese army in Xuzhou fought for so long and gained a certain advantage. Many reasons were due to the fact that the Eighth Route Army delayed the Japanese troops from North China who were about to attack the Central Army in the north.

Although there are always people who say that the Eighth Route Army swims but does not fight, while the Central Army is fighting hard in the front, they take the opportunity to accelerate the expansion of strength and territory.But those who are interested have seen the number of Japanese troops wiped out by the two troops, and know that this statement is untenable.

What is different from history is that the strength of the Eighth Route Army at this time was several times greater than in history before the war.The development of the base area is also good. The confrontation with the central army has been resolved, and the border region government is also running smoothly.

In this case, although the Eighth Route Army still continued its guerrilla warfare.But on the frontal battlefield, the Eighth Route Army also fought vigorously.The representative of the frontal battlefield is the column directly under the dual command of the central government and the headquarters.

However, He Zhengdao agreed with Mao Taizu's low-key development strategy.For some small-scale guerrilla victories, the Eighth Route Army will only report internally, and will not publicize them at all.Doing more and talking less is the development strategy advocated by He Zhengdao.

Knowing that it is not yet time to turn against the Central Army, the worries revealed in Zhou Enlai's words are also very likely to happen.At least Mao Taizu knew that the Central Army wanted to attack the Eighth Route Army in public opinion.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a while before saying: "Enlai, reply them with a telegram, saying that the division has not yet returned to the station. Regarding the transfer of prisoners, we will wait until the troops participating in the war return.

In addition, you should also send them a telegram, asking when the payment owed to our army will be delayed.If you want to pick peaches, you have to spend real money.This time, we fought against [-] Japanese troops, and the loss was not small!

Serious service officers and soldiers, do they need to be rewarded?The officers and soldiers who died, should they give some pensions?Don't want to give anything, but still ask us for benefits, do you really think we are easy to bully?

We can talk about handing over the prisoners, but they must give us an explanation for the unpaid military pay.Since they emphasized in the telegram that our Eighth Route Army is a unit under the National Revolutionary Army, why didn't they pay us? "

In fact, after seeing the telegram sent by the Central Army, Mao Taizu knew that the Central Army wanted the Eighth Route Army to hand over the two Japanese major generals and the captured assistant officer. It was more to whitewash their achievements in the War of Resistance and to do some propaganda in their favor. .

But in Mao Taizu's view, whoever captured these captives is likely to be recognized by the common people and at home and abroad.Even if it is handed over to the Central Army for propaganda, I believe that the eyes of the masses are discerning, and it is not so easy to be fooled.

Since the Central Army wants to take prisoners, shouldn't some of the arrears of military expenses be allocated?Those officers and soldiers who made meritorious service and were killed or injured, as the national government, shouldn't they also express themselves?

Empty and white teeth want to take away the fruits of victory of the Eighth Route Army, Mao Taizu will definitely not be so happy.If this is the case, what will happen to the officers and soldiers in the column?What would other officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army think?

After listening to Mao Taizu's words, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "It is almost impossible for Lao Jiang to make up for the military expenses owed to us. This time they spent a lot of financial and material resources in the battle of Xuzhou.

Nowadays, the national government relies on foreign borrowing and issuing national debt, which basically consumes almost the same amount.If the military expenses owed to us are allotted, what will happen to his direct troops?The military expenses they owe us is not a small sum! "

'I didn't say anything, let them clear it all at once.But if he wants our spoils, he must give us something, right?Since he considers himself the leading government of Huaxia, shouldn't he be treated equally?

You can't just don't allocate any money and want us to obey orders, right?In this matter, if you talk about it, reason is also on our side.Our Eighth Route Army is poor, haha, if I can exchange the little devils for some real money, I will have a confession to the troops on the front line. '

Following Mao Taizu's decision, he notified the Eighth Route Army headquarters.Boss Zhu also knows that now is not the time to tear your face apart.Since it is a unified war of resistance, they really need to give the national government a little face.

Since the Nationalist government asked the Eighth Route Army to hand over the prisoners so that they could promote the War of Resistance, if they refused to do so, it would make people feel that they were acting in disobedience.If you use this to ask for military expenses, it would be a good excuse.

Even if Boss Peng felt a little angry, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan immediately said after his analysis: "Not bad! If you want to reach out to pick peaches, you can't take advantage of them. Should they give us the military pay and supplies owed to us?"

After the central government reached an agreement with the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the matter of handing over the prisoners was forwarded to He Zhengdao who led the troops back to Yulin.He Zhengdao also felt a little funny when he heard that Lao Jiang and those people wanted to ask for these Japanese prisoners.

I can't catch it myself, and I want to use other people's trophies to show off.Isn't this a slap in the face to pretend to be fat?
