The Chairman is asking for help from Vladimirov Lion of the Soviet Liaison Group in Xi'an. Vice Chairman Zhou and Sister Deng in Chongqing are also negotiating with the US Ambassador to China, Gao Si.
Vice Chairman Zhou had been eagerly waiting for this good news ever since Liu Yimin led his army to leave Shandong!
Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government was responsible for relations with the United States, although the Eighth Route Army Chongqing Office was located in the same city as the U.S. Embassy in China, normal contact rarely occurred. The U.S. Ambassador Gao Si and the *** representative Vice Chairman Zhou knew each other well. Ming, but rarely met. Especially after the New Fourth Army broke out from southern Anhui, the Hongyan Eighth Route Army office was closely monitored by Dai Li's agents, making it very inconvenient to contact the outside world, not to mention contacting the U.S. Embassy in China, but also with the Soviet Embassy in China. Contact with the Chinese Embassy is restricted.
After receiving the telegram that Zuo Ye led his army to attack Lushun and Li Lingfeng entered Shenyang, Vice Chairman Zhou went to the home of Ms. Rao Guomo, the owner of Dayou Farm, and said to Ms. Rao Guomo: "Comrade Rao Guomo, can I borrow your phone? Come outside." Watch."
Rao Guomo is a celebrity in Chongqing, and her phone is not monitored.
After Rao Guomo left, Vice Chairman Zhou called the U.S. Embassy in China, introduced his identity, and then said that he was notifying the U.S. of major military operations related to the development of the situation in the Pacific battlefield, and hoped to meet with the Ambassador immediately. Discuss in detail.
The call was answered by the second secretary of the embassy. He replied that Ambassador Gao Si was not here at the moment and he would try to convey the message as soon as possible. General Zhou was asked to wait for the call notification at the Eighth Route Army Office.
The wait was until Liu Yimin's power supply was sent.
The office phone finally rang, and Vice Chairman Zhou quickly walked over and picked up the phone. This time it was the U.S. Ambassador to China, Mr. Gao Si, who called in person.
Mr. Gao Si apologized profusely on the phone, saying that he had been out today and had just come back. He kept Mr. Zhou waiting for a long time. He would come to the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing and ask Mr. Zhou to wait a moment.
After putting down the phone, Vice Chairman Zhou's steps became brisk and his face became lively. He smiled and said to Mr. Dong, Chief of Staff Ye, and Sister Deng: "Hurry up and prepare. The American Ambassador Gao Si will be here soon. The four of us See you together."
Mr. Dong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Liu Yimin's beating would yield diplomatic results. Ambassador Gao Si came to visit. I wonder if Chiang Kai-shek will curse Niang Xipi again when he finds out!"
Mr. Dong, who is usually serious about his speech, actually smiled and said something to Yan Yan at this time. Perhaps he was inspired by the good news of our army's recapture of Shenyang, Dalian, and Lushun.
Chief of General Staff Ye said to Vice Chairman Zhou very seriously: "I suggest reporting to the Central Committee. Rather than letting a few of us waste time here, it is better to send us to the northeast. Now Dalian and Lushun are under the control of our army. As soon as Gao Si comes , we can propose that the US military fleet dock at Port Arthur and Dalian, and take off directly to bomb the Japanese mainland. In this way, the decline of the US military in the Pacific battlefield can be reversed quickly. We can even allow the US military to send a fleet of aircraft to Shenyang to bomb the Kwantung Army. At that time. The Kwantung Army must be in ruins!"
Sister Deng continued: "The Americans are not stupid. They must have seen that they could use the airports and military ports in the Northeast, and that's why they asked the ambassador to China to visit. Speaking of which, Liu Yimin indeed saw further than us when he attacked Qingdao. When he proposed that Qingdao and New York become sister cities, we all still had opinions. Looking at it now, if the Americans had accepted Liu Yimin's proposal at that time, Qingdao would not have been lost, and there would have been no subsequent surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor and Pacific War."
A few people just discussed briefly for a while and then went to prepare.
There were few cars at this time, and although the roads in Chongqing were bumpy and difficult to navigate due to heavy Japanese bombing, Gao Si arrived quickly.
Seeing the car of the U.S. Embassy in China driving into the Eighth Route Army office, the special agent responsible for monitoring the Eighth Route Army office quickly reported it to the higher level.
Vice Chairman Zhou, Sister Deng, Mr. Dong were all wearing Chinese tunic suits, and Chief of Staff Ye was all wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army. They stood in front of the office building to greet Mr. Gao Si.
At this meeting, Mr. Gao Si warmly hugged Vice Chairman Zhou and said that the American people loved the Eighth Route Army very much for persisting in the war behind enemy lines and achieving extraordinary results.
After sitting down in the conference room, Vice Chairman Zhou introduced Sister Deng, Mr. Dong, and Chief of Staff Ye to Mr. Gao Si one by one, and then said: "Mr. Gao Si, in order not to waste your precious time, I will
I would like to give you a more detailed introduction to our army’s march into Northeast China.”
After the translation, Gao Si nodded in approval. Vice Chairman Zhou said: "The U.S. government, the U.S. government, and the American people are all familiar with the Eighth Route Army instructors and General Liu Yimin. Ms. Ni Hua who gave a speech in the U.S. Senate is Liu Yimin.
The general's wife, a doctor of medicine from Columbia University, and a student of the famous American medical scientist Mr. Doug. The ones who entered the Northeast this time were the main forces in Shandong developed by the Eighth Route Army instructors commanded by General Liu Yimin. Because Chairman Chiang Kai-shek banned the designation of instructors
, our party had to rename Liu Yimin’s Department to the Shandong Military Region, and after entering the Northeast, it is now renamed the Northeast People’s Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army.”
Mr. Gao Si does not understand Chinese, and Vice Chairman Zhou cannot speak too long, otherwise it will be difficult to translate.
After the translation was finished, Vice Chairman Zhou said again: "Mr. Gao Mi, please ask your secretary not to record it. What I said is highly confidential of our army. Just listen to it and you can't record it."
After hearing this, Gao Si shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mysterious China, mysterious Eighth Route Army." He looked at the first secretary of the embassy who followed him and said OK.
Seeing Gao Si's secretary put away the record book, Vice Chairman Zhou added: "This time our army marched into the Northeast with a huge force, a total of 12 field infantry columns equivalent to the Japanese Army level organization, one artillery column, and one cavalry column.
Column, there are also armored brigades, air defense brigades, engineering brigades, baggage brigades, coastal defense detachments and other units equivalent to the ** division level, with a total strength of nearly 500,000."
When he said this, Vice Chairman Zhou's eyes radiated with burning light, and his tone was full of pride. It seemed that there was a majestic scene in front of him of Liu Yimin commanding millions of troops and marching into the pass.
After listening to the translation, Gao Si was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair. He was tall, in good physical condition, and a hawk with a pro-revolutionary attitude in the United States. He jumped up and down in excitement.
It almost touched the ceiling board, which made Sister Deng laugh.
Just listen to Gao Si exclaiming: "500,000 elites, my God! Dear Zhou, did I hear you correctly?"
Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and nodded, and replied affirmatively: "Mr. Ambassador, I said, what I'm talking about is the high confidentiality of our military!"
Gao Si didn't recover from the shock for a long time, and kept mumbling to himself: "An army of 500,000, and it is the elite division of Lien Zhan and Lianjie. God, no one can imagine this! It's unbelievable, unbelievable!"
Vice Chairman Zhou, Sister Deng, Mr. Dong, and Chief of Staff Ye did not speak. They looked at Gao Si quietly, waiting for him to calm down.
Gao Si finally recovered from the shock and said to Vice Chairman Zhou: "Dear Zhou, thank you, thank you for trusting the United States of America so much. I think I will report your words to President Roosevelt as soon as possible and let him
You know, General Liu Yimin leads the largest and most elite strategic group in China."
After saying that, Gao Si stretched out his hands to say goodbye to Vice Chairman Zhou.
Vice Chairman Zhou asked Gao Si to calm down, and then told him that the Eighth Route Army had long been in contact with the US military. There were six retired US military flight instructors in the Eighth Route Army's aviation force. They helped the Eighth Route Army train and establish the aviation brigade. Eighth Route Army
Every impressive achievement achieved by the aviation team has the participation of retired US military flight instructors and overseas Chinese pilots who returned from the United States. From this point of view, it is reasonable for the Japanese army to accuse US pilots of participating in the war.
Ni Hua mentioned this situation when he was promoting it in the United States. The top leaders of the United States knew about it, and Gao Si also understood it.
Vice Chairman Zhou went on to say that not only are the pilots, the Eighth Route Army has medical personnel and military technical personnel from the United States, including the fleet that the Eighth Route Army transported troops to attack Shanghai and the landing in Northeast China, there are dozens of retired U.S. Navy technical personnel.
In terms of service, it can be said that the cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and the US military has reached a very deep level.
Some of these situations were known to Gao Si, such as the medical team organized by Ni Hua to aid China, which the U.S. government acquiesced to at the time. Some were unknown, such as military technical personnel and retired naval technical personnel.
The reason why Vice Chairman Zhou explained the situation so frankly to Gao Si was that Liu Yimin and the Chairman and the others came to an agreement after analysis and study when they returned to Xi'an. The purpose was to completely shock the Yankees and allow the US military to provide strong sea and air cover for our army to march into the Northeast.
, and provided vigorous assistance. Because the United States' Yuanhua supplies were controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, it was said that some of them could be distributed to our army as appropriate, but in fact it was impossible for our army to obtain them.
The more Gao Si listened, the more shocked he became, and finally he simply said: "Dear Zhou, what requests does your party have for the U.S. government? What requests does General Liu Yimin have? Please tell me, and I will report it to President Roosevelt immediately."
Vice Chairman Zhou then said: "Mr. Gao Si, Dr. Ni Hua, the wife of General Liu Yimin, sent me a telegram saying that you are a famous figure in the US government who supports China's war of resistance. To you, General Stilwell and even General Marshall, I would like to express my gratitude to you.
President Roosevelt, we can talk openly and honestly. The reason why I tell you the high secrets of our army is because our party and our army trust you. The Central Committee of our party asked me to convey our respect to President Roosevelt. Our party requires: 1. The US military should be stationed in Xi'an
, Shenyang, Dalian, and Shandong have set up communications liaison offices to communicate between the two armies and coordinate the two armies' cooperative operations. Second, the United States should unconditionally support our army's combat operations in the Northeast and provide air support for our army to eliminate the Kwantung Army, the largest strategic group of the Japanese army.
Cover. At least three aviation wings must be stationed in the Northeast. Third, according to the Lend-Lease Act, the United States will provide our army with 2,000 aircraft, 2,000 tanks, 5,000 trucks, and an aircraft carrier battle group. After defeating the Japanese invaders, we
The debt will be repaid with dollars, pounds, gold, precious metals, and coal, and we will never default on a penny."
