On October 1, the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government sent a telegram to the New Fourth Army Military Headquarters, once again forcing the New Fourth Army to move to the north of the Yellow River.
The reason is also very simple. I asked you to support me during the Battle of Changsha. If you don’t go, then why are you still staying in Jiangnan?
This order was issued three months ago, but was sternly rejected by the commander-in-chief and Commander Ye. Then the July Incident occurred. The Eighth Route Army pinned the National Army troops in the first and second theaters to the floor. After rubbing him hard, our party no longer cared about what Bai Chongxi farted there.
Similarly, this time, Commander Ye also planned to refuse and make a long journey to the north of the Yellow River. Who knew what risks he would encounter on the way?
Political Commissar Xiang originally meant this. However, the deceitful Soviet International came with instructions, requiring Political Commissar Xiang to cooperate with Chongqing's instructions as much as possible. The Eighth Route Army had already shown signs of breaking with the National Army, and they hoped that the New Fourth Army could set an example. , to maintain cooperation between the two parties.
To put it bluntly, the Soviet International was afraid that the two parties would completely break up and allow the Japanese army to take advantage of it. If China fell into internal strife and was fully occupied by the Japanese army, life would be difficult for the Soviet Union.
Think about it, after Japan, a country with considerable industrial strength, integrates China's vast territory, resources, and population of more than 400 million, its national power will not only increase a hundred times? !
Not to mention dominating East Asia, he even has the capital to dominate the world, okay? !
Their idea is indeed considering both sides and is beneficial to everyone. Therefore, this kind of argument is very popular in our party, mainly because the influence of Wang Ming and his gang is really not small.
But this kind of thing is not one-sided. The principal can't change his mind, and it's useless no matter how much our party tolerates it!
Unfortunately, only a few people in our party, including parents, understand this truth!
Now the rectification movement in Yan'an has begun, but the scope has not yet expanded, so that there are still many pro-Soviet factions in the New Fourth Army, and they overwhelmingly refuted Commander Ye's views at the military party meeting.
This once again triggered a conflict between Commander Ye and Political Commissar Xiang. Political Commissar Xiang was too deeply influenced by the Soviet International and had not yet come out, so he planned to follow the instructions of the Soviet International.
Commander Ye couldn't resist, so he reported the matter to the commander-in-chief. In the end, the commander-in-chief had no choice but to reply to Chongqing and promised to allow the New Fourth Army to move to the north of the Yangtze River.
At that time, Liu Yu was busy recruiting, training, and setting up a construction corps, so he didn't care about it.
When the New Fourth Army left Yunling on October 10, tragedy happened.
The political commissar of the New Fourth Army still failed to escape his original fate and was killed by the traitors. Commander Ye was also detained during the negotiations.
The principal also criticized the New Fourth Army and accused the New Fourth Army of rebellion. The parents were so angry that they wanted to gather 150,000 elite troops and march into the Sichuan Basin.
In fact, after the December Incident in the original time and space, parents had the same idea, but they were stopped by the Soviet Union. It was not until the Wannan Incident in 1941 that parents made up their mind to launch a rectification movement and redefine the relationship between our party and the Soviet Union.
In this time and space, due to Liu Yu's influence, the rectification movement started early (the specific plot was deleted in the previous article), but it only started for two months, and the effect has not yet appeared. Although Wang Ming was raped, his The people and horses of the department are still there. Fortunately, Chongqing launched the Wannan Incident in advance, which caused heavy losses to the New Fourth Army, which had just made some progress.
This time, the parents’ ideas were also blocked by Soviet International. Although Liu Yu’s appearance had raised the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army to a higher level, making parents more confident now than at the same time in the original time and space, Soviet International was in our The influence within the party still poses a great constraint to him.
By the time the news reached Liu Yu, more than ten days had passed. Even if Liu Yu had great abilities, there was nothing he could do to save the situation.
. . . . . .
"Xue Yue won this battle in Changsha, so our commissioner thinks he can do it again?" He hurriedly bid farewell to William and on the way to the headquarters, listening to Lao Song's story, Liu Yu looked gloomy and said with a sneer.
Since the last July Incident, the Nationalist Army in North China has been intimidated by the overwhelming combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and has rarely engaged in provocative actions to create friction.
And this time in the Hundred Regiment Battle, the Eighth Route Army annihilated two Japanese divisions in one battle, which made them shudder even more.
But things are not going well for the New Fourth Army in South China. There are constant reports of the National Army killing the New Fourth Army. Not long ago, even Yang Sen, the second and fifth son, dared to attack the New Fourth Army.
However, the New Fourth Army did not make any large-scale counterattacks, which made the National Army even more unscrupulous!
Lao Song smiled bitterly and said: "The central government has issued instructions many times to resolutely fight back in the face of provocations from the National Army, but Political Commissar Xiang is still listening to the opinions of the Soviet International and is unwilling to cause any conflict with the Third War Zone."
"It is said that no one can make mistakes without being a sage, but he made a mistake and not only ruined himself, but also dragged thousands of comrades to be buried with him!" Liu Yu stopped and sighed, "How is Commander Ye doing? ?”
"It is said that he is being taken to Chongqing now."
"It's difficult. If we rescue him, the lions in Chongqing will definitely open their mouths, and the price will definitely be unbearable for us! But if we don't rescue him, he is one of the founders of our army after all..." Speaking of this, Liu Yu has another headache.
If he had a mature special forces in his hands, he would definitely order them to snatch people on the way, but it has only been two months since the special forces training, and even the basic training has not been completed, so they have to travel thousands of kilometers to complete such a task. The mission was tantamount to sending them to die.
To put it bluntly, although the current special operations team members such as Ma Chao are very good at personal abilities, they are only new recruits in the special forces.
While talking, the two came to the headquarters.
As soon as he entered the room, Wu Hongbo came up to him with a telegram: "I was just about to find you. A telegram was just sent from Yan'an, requesting the chiefs of each military division to go to Yan'an to study the political and ideological outline of the rectification movement. Which one of you will go? ?”
Liu Yu and Lao Song looked at each other, and Liu Yu said: "I can't leave here. The special forces have to train, the base area needs to be built, and there are too many things. Go, Lao Song, just in time to get the 40 tons of gold sent by the Germans this time." Take him there too."
Both Lao Song and Wu Hongbo were shocked. Lao Song said, "That's 40 tons of gold. Strictly speaking, it's your personal asset. Have you handed it all over?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "We have little use for keeping this batch of gold. If we hand it over to the central bank, although RMB is the government's credit currency, they can also use this batch of gold as a basis to issue at least 200 million yuan more without worrying about currency expansion, which has a great effect on the economic development of the base area."
