However, Chairman Jiang was also happy and could not help but worry.

Because Chairman Jiang knew Mao Zedong too well, Mao Zedong would never give up after suffering such a big loss. It is completely foreseeable that the CCP will launch a fierce counterattack politically and even military in the future.

Chairman Chiang just couldn't expect how Mao Zedong and the CCP would fight back.

After all, Chairman Jiang has not yet understood Mao Zedong's ideas. Whether Mao Zedong's military use or political strategy, he was always antelope hanging on his horns and there was no trace. Back then, Chairman Jiang was fooled by others.

Chairman Jiang asked Wang Shihe to call Dai Li and ordered him to strengthen his vigilance.

Although Chairman Chiang had expected that Mao Zedong and the CCP would launch a counterattack and foresee that the CCP’s counterattack would be extremely fierce, he still did not expect that the CCP’s counterattack would be so fast and so sharp.

The next day, the leader of the Communist Party of China Zhou Enlai angrily wrote in Xinhua Daily that "The injustice of eternal times is a leaf in the south of the Yangtze River; the same family fights each other, why not fight each other?", and immediately made the truth of the Southern Anhui Incident, which caused an uproar in China.

Mao Zedong even launched all the propaganda machines of the Communist Party of China and launched a fierce attack on Chairman Chiang and the National Government from a political perspective. For a moment, students and workers marched on the streets everywhere in major cities.

In Chongqing, the accompanying capital of the National Government, the Communists took action even more. They occupied any streets and alleys in the mountain city, posted slogans and distributed leaflets, and informed the truth of the Southern Anhui Incident to all walks of life in Chongqing. At the same time, they called on students to gather in front of the embassies of various countries in Chongqing and carried out publicity to the ambassadors of Western countries in China.

Dai Li's Military Control Bureau was working hard to deal with it. The students who marched on the streets caught one after another. Finally, even the Military Control Commission headquarters located at No. 16 Luojiawan was full of students. However, the students who marched on the streets still increased and continued to increase.

The military bureau's suppression was like a small cup of water, which could not destroy the public opinion offensive launched by the Communist Party, which was like a raging fire. For a time, all walks of life and business all over the country launched a massive condemnation action, and they all condemned Chairman Chiang to ignore morality and the united front of the nation's anti-Japanese war. In the name of rectifying military discipline, he rejected the reality of excluding dissidents.

I have to say that Mao Zedong and the CCP can surpass Chairman Chiang and the Kuomintang in the use of public opinion weapons.

Faced with wave after wave of political offensives launched by the CCP, Chairman Jiang was furious.

Even local powerful warlords such as Yan Xishan, Long Yun, and Li Zongren stood up one after another, accusing Chairman Chiang of disregarding the overall situation of the War of Resistance against the War of Resistance and only focusing on excluding dissidents and suppressing potential political opponents in the name of rectifying military discipline.

Obviously, these local warlords also felt the pressure from the Southern Anhui Incident.

Chairman Jiang can attack the New Fourth Army today, who can guarantee that he will not attack them tomorrow? Out of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren and Long Yun put pressure on Chairman Jiang.

However, the last straw that crushed Chairman Chiang, the camel, was the war correspondents and ministers sent by Western countries to Chongqing. They were also touched by the Communist Party's repeated propaganda and expressed their dissatisfaction to the National Government.

Because Chairman Chiang did this, he was directly weakening the world's anti-fascist power.

The most cruel thing is Stilwell. In his report to the US government, he openly stated that the economic aid given to the National Government should be transferred to the Communist Party. Stilwell insisted that the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party and the New Fourth Army were the real armed forces to resist Japan. Chairman Chiang, the leader of the National Government, no longer regarded the War of Resistance as his own natural responsibility, but regarded the War of Resistance as a means of extortion of the United States.

After learning the news, Chairman Jiang was shocked and quickly came forward to publicly express his opinion: The New Fourth Army belongs to the rebels, and it is the duty to suppress the rebels. However, given that the New Fourth Army's troops that violated military discipline have been suppressed and their numbers have been revoked, and the purpose of the Military Commission has been achieved, it will never continue to expand.

This is equivalent to a public commitment that the National Government will no longer launch an offensive against the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party in the future. After Chairman Chiang made this statement publicly, the situation finally gradually subsided.

(Split Line)

In this storm, the most unlucky one was Gu Zhutong and his third war zone.

Because of the Communist Party's overwhelming public opinion propaganda, the victory in southern Anhui, which was originally seen by senior generals such as Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang, was finally classified as the Incident in the Southern Anhui. Since it was an incident rather than a great victory, there were of course no rewards or other things.

Especially what made Gu Zhutong so angry that he vomited blood was that he had already mobilized heavy troops and sweared to wipe out the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui. But now Chairman Jiang made a statement that he would no longer launch an offensive against the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army in the future, so the battle would naturally not be able to be fought.

Although the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army has not yet joined the Communist Party, in fact, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army has long become a member of the Communist Party of China. The Qingyang County Independent Regiment, which broke through Maolin, has joined the sequence of the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army?

We cannot attack the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. This means that Xu Shijiu lured the officers and soldiers of the Di Army to make a mutiny before, so he could only let it go. After Gu Zhutong suffered such a big loss, how could he not vomit blood?

"One army, this is one army, which army is gone." Gu Zhutong sat on the chair with his butt, looking depressed.

The army originally had three full divisions, with a total of 30,000 people, but now there are only less than 10,000 people left. What is particularly hateful is that after Xu Shijiu tricked the soldiers of the army with meager food, he only selected less than 3,000 of them to stay, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people were asked to be condemned and returned home.

At this point, the Di Army was completely abolished, and the remaining little force was only enough to form a division. Moreover, the commanders of the army Zhang Wenqing, Zhan Zhongyan, and Tang Yunshan were also imprisoned by the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

However, after breaking and then establishing, the 25th Army suffered this disaster, it also strengthened Gu Zhutong's determination to rectify. Gu Zhutong was not unaware of the chaos in the Third War Zone, nor was he indifferent. He just couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make changes.

However, now, an opportunity has emerged.

The adjutant came in and reported: "The chief seat, the seat has arrived."

Gu Zhutong sighed and said sadly: "Please come in."

After a moment, Huang Baitao walked in and saw Gu Zhutong lying on the rocking chair with a very dull expression. Huang Baitao quickly came forward and asked with concern: "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want the military doctor to come and see it?"

"No, I'm fine." Gu Zhutong waved his right hand tiredly and said, "Sit down and talk."

The word "Huang Baitao" is completely new.

Huang Baitao was a little flattered. Gu Zhutong had always called him his name or directly called him his position. In his impression, he never called him the word "he". Generally speaking, only a confidant would be concealed and called him with his character.

Huang Baitao sat down opposite Gu Zhutong, but he only dared to sit on the chair with half of his butt, but he didn't dare to confirm it. After all, Huang Baitao still had a bad background. He first joined the direct line and then joined the Fengtian clan. The Fengtian clan was destroyed by the Northern Expedition Army, and finally surrendered to Chairman Jiang.

Gu Zhutong looked at Huang Baitao for more than ten seconds, and then asked: "Huanran, do you want to go down and lead the troops?

A stream of passion surged into Huang Baitao's forehead in an instant, are you kidding? Do you want to go down and lead troops? Only the idiot is willing to stay in the chief of staff, and only the idiot is unwilling to lead troops in the chief of staff in the name of Huang Baitao, in fact, is just a fuck. Not to mention the commander-in-chief of the army below, even the commander and the division commander did not take him seriously.

However, Huang Baitao still controlled his emotions well.

Huang Baitao was not sure whether this was Gu Zhutong’s truth or his temptation. If it was just his temptation and he really showed his willingness to continue to lead troops, he would probably not be able to continue to lead troops in the past ten years.

Huang Baitao said now: "The humble position depends on the arrangements of the chief officer."

Gu Zhutong was physically and mentally exhausted, and at this time he didn't care about exploring Huang Baitao's true thoughts. He immediately said straight to the point: "Zhang Wenqing has lost all his prestige and is not suitable to serve as the chief officer anymore. The situation in the Di Army is also very bad now. If you are asked to go, do you have the confidence to rectify this army in a short period of time?"

A hint of red suddenly surged on Huang Baitao's face. At this point, he could have been sure that Gu Zhutong was not a temptation, but was really interested in letting him go out of the army. Of course, this also has something to do with Gu Zhutong not finding a suitable candidate to be the commander of the army.

However, this is still an excellent opportunity for Huang Baitao.

Huang Baitao suddenly stood up and said, "I will never be humble in my duty."
