(This story is purely fictional, please do not imitate it!)
In the end, the Kuomintang government only invited a few obedient media such as the JoongAng Daily and the Central News Agency for its press conference. But the media always have the sharpest noses. Although no one was invited, they always had a way to get first-hand information.
News materials, this kind of material is false and true, and the things reported are more "readable". On the contrary, those so-called "obedient" media do not dare to imagine beyond the level. Not only are the data obviously untrue, but the text is also readable.
It also tastes like chewing gum.
Because, in the next few days, the independent column will release a news report to the outside world every day. The content is very small, but the articles are explosive. For example, the Red Army occupied such and such an area, wiped out so many enemies, and captured so and so.
How many people above a certain battalion commander and below a certain officer, with names and surnames, cannot help but make the people in the Kuomintang-controlled area not believe it. It also objectively proves that the "imagination" of other media is true!
This incident gradually escaped Chiang Kai-shek's control.
Because among these generals, they also have relatives, friends, colleagues, superiors, and subordinates. Many of them have special backgrounds and have particularly deep relationships with each other. For example, He Jian is related by marriage to Xia Wei of the Gui Army; the grassroots of the national army
Officers and soldiers are connected to thousands of families.
"Oppose the civil war and unite to resist Japan!"
"We don't want civil war, we want peace!"
On February 12, large-scale demonstrations finally broke out in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan and other places. They held signs and shouted slogans, forming a huge torrent and submitting peace wishes to the local Guo people's government.
The letter demanded that the government immediately stop the civil war and negotiate to resolve domestic issues.
What is different from previous demonstrations in history is that this large-scale mass incident was voluntary and was not instigated by anyone. At the same time, the composition of the people participating in the demonstrations was mainly composed of students in the past.
It shows the joint participation of people from all walks of life.
On this day, the units of the Independent Column finally achieved their pre-war goals and took control of the entire provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi. The National Army's German Armament Reorganization Division and various miscellaneous units that entered these two provinces, under the thunder of the Independent Column Armored Forces and the Air Force,
Under the attack, the entire army of 600,000 troops was wiped out. The troops that escaped and were temporarily saved outside the two provinces were basically small troops organized into battalions and companies, and all the troops above the regiment level were destroyed.
February 14th, Valentine's Day in the West. A piece of news that made people laugh or cry came, like a clear slap on Jiang's face! Because, the Independent Column issued a "Notice on the Handling of National Army Prisoners":
Beginning at 10 a.m. on February 6 and ending at 8 p.m. on February 12, our heroic independent column annihilated 20 German weapon divisions newly established by the Kuomintang government and other troops totaling 580,000 people, including
Captured He Jian, Jiangxi Provincial Chairman of the Kuomintang Party, Chen Cheng, Director of the Army Reorganization Division of the Military Commission of the Kuomintang Government, and division commanders such as Huang Jie, Leng Xin, Li Yutang, Wang Dongyuan, Zheng Dongguo, and 310,000 people below the brigade commander (attached: captured major
list above).
Based on the principle of humanitarianism, our army decided to repatriate most of the officers and some soldiers back to the Kuomintang-controlled areas. However, the civil war policy of the Kuomintang government caused huge losses to the various undertakings of the Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi anti-Japanese democratic government and the lives and property of the people.
Our heroic independent column also suffered tens of thousands of casualties (more than 2,000 killed and more than 9,000 injured) as a result of this battle. In view of this, we strongly demand that the Guomin government compensate our anti-Japanese democratic government for the losses and provide compensation for the prisoners of war.
Adopt the method of redemption. The specific price is as follows:
Compensation part: 10 million French currency;
Admiral: 3 million French currency/unit, 2 units in total;
Lieutenant General: 2 million French currency/unit, 17 units in total;
Major General: 1 million French currency/unit, 49 units in total;
Colonel: 600,000 French currency/piece, 191 pieces in total;
Lieutenant Colonel: 400,000 French currency/piece, 367 pieces in total;
Major: 200,000 French currency/item, totaling 977 pieces;
Captain: 50,000 legal coins/piece, total 2328 pieces;
Lieutenant: 30,000 legal coins/piece, total 6,999;
Second Lieutenant: 10,000 legal coins/piece, totaling 10,876 pieces;
Soldier: 500 French coins/piece.
Special statement 1: If a prisoner is captured by an ordinary soldier, the ransom will be exempted as long as his family guarantees that the prisoner will not join the national army in the civil war.
Special statement 2: The defeated generals Gu Zhutong, Hu Zongnan and other 17 major generals or above, regardless of their colleagues, absconded alone, which is equivalent to the prisoners of our army. Our army will reserve the right to recover the ransom of the prisoners from them. If they refuse within three months,
If the ransom is not paid to our army at the above price, no matter where he is hiding, our army will capture him and bring him back to the anti-Japanese democratic government and hand him over to the people for trial!
Considering that this announcement involves a large number of national troops, all media are requested to reprint it widely; at the same time, our independent column air force will airdrop this announcement to Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan and other places.
As soon as the announcement came out, the whole country was in an uproar!
"Rogue! Rogue! Devil! Devil!" When Chiang Kai-shek saw this announcement, he lost his gentlemanly demeanor and smashed all the antiques and porcelain in the office to pieces!
"Evil! Evil people need to be punished by evil people!" Some people who were extremely dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek commented on the announcement.
"Is this little guy too open-mouthed?" Lao Zhu in northern Shaanxi said as he looked at the announcement.
"The price is so high, why don't you just pay back the money? Besides, why do I feel that Wu Aihua's ambition is not here?" Old Mao can always see through the essence of the problem at a glance.
The issuance of this "Announcement on the Disposal of National Army Prisoners" also caused a lot of controversy in the Independent Column. Former cadres of the Southern Guerrilla Forces such as Xiang Y, Chen Y, Su Yu, etc. did not understand Wu Aihua's methods. However, the original cadres of the Independent Column,
For example, Zhong Shoufu, Cheng Liang and others, who had been completely brainwashed by Wu Aihua, and even Zhang Binxian, Yang Guiqing, Li Yanbing and others, warmly welcomed this announcement.
Opponent: We are the Red Army of Workers and Peasants. How can we be like businessmen and always talk about money?
Those who agree: Not to mention money, where do the guns come from, where do the ammunition come from, and where do the military pay come from?
Opponent: In short, we are a group of people with ideals and should not be like businessmen!
Agreeing Party:……
Wu Aihua: This is a misunderstanding of businessmen! A country without agriculture will not be stable, a country without industry will not be rich, and a country without business will not survive!
Opponent: But is Chiang Kai-shek willing to pay for this?
Wu Aihua:……
However, in the end, Wu Aihua systematically explained his original idea behind the "Notice on the Disposal of National Army Prisoners":
First, the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants opposes civil war! Anyone who dares to launch a civil war or become an enemy of the Red Army will pay a price he cannot afford. This price includes ruining his family and ruining his country! This is the basic attitude of the Red Army.
The first time is to set a standard for the world! When the great powers invaded China, China ceded territory and paid compensation when it lost. Why didn't we do the same?
Second, making this announcement does not necessarily require receiving money from Chiang Kai-shek to be successful. If Chiang Kai-shek does not give money, it will give people the impression that Chiang Kai-shek does not care about the life and death of his generals, and soldiers will become the playthings of politicians. Who will do it in the future?
Will he still work for Chiang Kai-shek? If Chiang Kai-shek gives money, then his government will definitely go bankrupt and he will be even less able to launch a civil war!
Third, the reason why "prisoner ransom" was adopted instead of killing He Jian and others is because killing is useless. It is best not to kill people if they can! If He Jian's ransom can be collected, everyone will Can you calculate how many poor people in the base area can be helped, or how much construction can be done?
Fourth, the Red Army's future operations must insist on "fighting to support war", that is to say, it must be an economic war. How many people were killed or injured and how much money was spent. After the war is over, the enemy must ask for double the amount, otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss? In the future, we will still build a new China. If we always make losses during the war, how will we get the money to build a new China?
Wu Aihua's explanation immediately confirmed the title of "Zhou Bapi". Some of them, such as Yang Guiqing and other people who came from the national army, even had a cold air coming from their bodies. Fortunately, they surrendered to the Red Army camp at the earliest , if you were captured by the Red Army when you reached the rank of regimental commander in the national army, you might really be bankrupted by the commander!
"Commander Wu's method is really... too yin, too poisonous, and too cruel!" In the end, everyone commented unanimously.
Wu Aihua agreed with the evaluation of his viciousness and ruthlessness. He should treat his enemies like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. It is not enough to be neither vicious nor ruthless. However, if Wu Aihua said that he was too yin, Wu Aihua would not agree even if he was beaten to death. All of this was a conspiracy. How can it be considered a yin? You came to beat me, I captured your people, and now you want to take them back, how can you do it without giving some blood or giving something? Do you still want me to entertain you with good wine and food, and then use Send the car back? You, Chiang Kai-shek, are not my uncle Wu Aihua. Why should I, Wu Aihua, do this?
"Yes, yes. The commander is right." Everyone, including Xiang Y, was dumbfounded by Wu Aihua's remarks, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true.
Wu Aihua did what he said! Early in the morning on February 15, when newsboys in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan were selling news about "prisoner ransom" on the streets, a group of planes suddenly appeared in the sky of the three cities, flying over the cities. At that moment, like a goddess scattering flowers, a large number of leaflets fell from the sky. Two of the planes flew low over Chiang Kai-shek's official temple and dropped a large package of leaflets, which really frightened the captain of the bodyguard Wang Shihe and broke into a cold sweat.
"Mother Xipi, I quit! Tell Wang Jingwei that I want to go to the field! Let him do it!" Chiang Kai-shek stood in front of his house, watching the Red Army's air force showing off its power in the sky over Nanjing as if it was uninhabited, and finally suffered. No more!
However, Chiang Kai-shek would not take the initiative to step down when he was angry and angry. In fact, this incident was completely different from the same period in history. In history, Chiang Kai-shek's several resignations were due to internal struggles within the Kuomintang, except for the one at the end of 1948. Except for that time, he had never stepped down because of the strong power of the D Party. Moreover, even that time in 1948 was also caused by Li Deling's forced conquest.
