After returning from the arsenal, Liu Yimin felt excited after drinking some wine, so he asked Tang Xingying to accompany him for a walk in the backyard.
While walking, I thought, penicillin will be produced soon, the bullets and artillery shells have been reloaded, and gold mines have been found. Iron mines, coal mines, and oil fields are just a matter of finding the right time, just waiting for the Chairman and the others.
After arriving, land reform will be carried out in advance and currency will be issued, then major events in Shaanxi will be
It's basically done, and everything is moving in the right direction. If nothing else happens, when the Anti-Japanese War breaks out in full force two years later, the strength of the main force of the Red Army will have been greatly improved, and there will be a reliable supply of weapons and ammunition for the rear area.
Facing the Japanese devils, haha, that would be great.
I felt proud and laughed out loud as I thought about it.
Tang Xingying didn't know what Liu Yimin was thinking, but she knew that her sweetheart must be extremely happy, so she reached out and held Liu Yimin's hand and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll see how happy you are."
Liu Yimin glanced at Tang Xingying and said with a smile: "I was wondering, will our beautiful Xingying dream about me when she dreams at night?"
Tang Xingying let out a cry and leaned against Liu Yimin. Liu Yimin hurriedly supported her and whispered: "There are soldiers all around."
Tang Xingying raised her eyes and looked at the guards around her, and said: "Dead people, embarrass me!" Then she said: "Let's go back, what if something happens to you?"
Liu Yimin nodded, told Tang Xingying to go back to rest, and returned to the office himself.
After returning to the office, Liu Yimin still couldn't restrain his excitement. He was racing in his head, thinking about Sun Jiaqi in the pharmaceutical factory, Zeng Zhao, Shen Qianyi, and then where to find a steelmaking expert and an oil refining expert.
That would be great. As I was thinking about it, I thought of Yan Xishan on the other side of the river. He is currently building roads, mining, and running banks. He is doing a great job. I wonder if I can dig some engineers and technical workers there.
When he thought of Yan Xishan, Liu Yimin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something was wrong.
If you think about it carefully, the current deployment of your Seventh Red Army is too scattered. The 11th Division led the Second Division to confront the Central Army in Weinan and Tongguan; the 12th Division and the 13th Division left Tianshui and Pingliang in Gansu Province, which looks like two
fist
, looking at the Ma Jiajun; Feng Dafei's only division defends Hanzhong, Zhang Hongtao's only third division defends Tongchuan and Xianyang, Chen Dayong's only fourth division defends Baoji, and the troops directly under the army guard Xi'an. In this case, there is almost no defense on the front line of the Yellow River.
My original arrangement had always been based on the fact that Yan Xishan would not cross the river and march westward. The reason was that Yan Xishan was more than capable of defending but not enough offensively. The Jinsui Army was also a force good at defense. But if Yan Xishan crossed the river to the west,
What about advancing? Doesn’t that mean Shaanxi opened its arms and allowed the Jin-Sui army to rampage?
Thinking about the history of Yan Xishan, I feel that my judgment is ridiculous. Why can't a man who dared to launch a war in the Central Plains to conquer the world not cross the river and march west? This man cannot be underestimated. In the history of the Republic of China, Yan
Xishan's status is very important. He is not Zhang Xueliang, nor is he in the military field. He is not in politics.
The famous Bai Chongxi, from fighting the Beiyang warlords to fighting Chiang Kai-shek to dealing with the Japanese invaders and confronting the Communist Party, this person has always been involved in politics, economics, and military affairs. Most people only see his three eggs dancing and "
If you also view the philosophy of "Zhong" in this way, you are really underestimating Yan Xishan, a wise commander.
Would it be so easy to get Sun Yat-sen to discuss poetry and philosophy with Tagore in the light of major events in the north?
Besides, Yan Xishan’s Thirteen Taibao all graduated from the Baoding Military Academy. Not only Yan Zhongcheng, but they were also good at military affairs. Especially Fu Zuoyi, he was a famous general. Fu Zuoyi carried out long-distance raids by himself.
Hasn’t it been done in history?
Thinking about the huge strength of Yan Xishan's fourteenth army, four cavalry divisions, and seven artillery brigades during the Central Plains War, Liu Yimin felt like a fool. Although Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army at this time was incomparable to that of the Central Plains War,
But there are still four regular troops
, a road guard army, three independent brigades, as well as cavalry and artillery, and the army can be expanded at any time. If such an army is fully equipped to fight across the Yellow River, Shaanxi will face the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, and Ma Jiajun
joint attack.
During the Red Army's Eastern Expedition, they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army and returned without success in the Battle of Duijiuyu. Of course, the equipment and strength of the Red Army were incomparable to today. But during the Liberation War, Yang De
Zhi's attack on Ying County, the Battle of Fenxiao launched by Chen Geng, and the battle for Zhangjiakou all proved the combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army. Although I am not afraid of Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, I have to consider the problem of too many ants to kill the elephant!
The original idea of holding a military parade to intimidate Yan Xishan should have some effect, but it would definitely not have a decisive effect.
You know, Chiang Kai-shek has a will as strong as steel on the issue of anti-communism, and he is best at wooing political forces from all parties. Wouldn't he use Yan Xishan's huge force? I'm afraid in order to pull Yan Xishan onto the chariot, he would not use it.
You know how much it will cost! Chiang Kai-shek’s secret envoy is probably visiting Yan Xishan’s house right now!
What will Yan Xishan's next move be? How should I respond?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the drunkenness gradually dissipated. Liu Yimin simply walked out of the office again and walked in the yard.
On the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month, the moon was round and big, illuminating the yard brightly. It was a pity that it was a bit cold, otherwise it would really feel like walking on the moon and singing songs.
Liu Yimin felt that the moonlight was about to penetrate into his heart, coldly, as if it was trying to cleanse every nerve in him, and his thoughts would become clear.
Yan Xishan must be prevented from participating in the war. Otherwise, his Seventh Red Army will be attacked from both sides and will be under too much pressure. Now it is different from the past. In the past, they just hit and leave without considering the issue of defending the territory. Now that they have occupied Shaanxi, they must build it into a strong place.
How can we let people come and mess with our base area casually? Besides,
My purpose is to teach Chiang Kai-shek a lesson, beat him hard, and get him to stop the civil war and unite to resist Japan. It is not to consume all China's strength in the civil war. If he and Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan continue to fight in Shaanxi, then the Japanese army will fully invade China.
, it is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan will collapse faster, which will be a big trouble.
But how can we stop Yan Xishan from crossing the river and heading west?
The current situation between the enemy and us is very clear. In northern Sichuan, Lin Biao led the Red 1st and 9th Army Corps and the 31st Army of the Fourth Front Army. The 33rd Army faced off with Chen Cheng, Xue Yue's Central Army, Deng Xihou's troops and Pan Wenhua's main force on the South Sichuan Road. Among them, the Red 31st Army also
Responsible for monitoring the main force of the 17th Route Army in Yang Hucheng; Peng Dehuai and Xu Xiangqian led the Red Army
, the main force of the Fifth Army Corps and the Fourth Front Army are confronting the Sichuan Army's troops in the eastern Sichuan area and the Northeastern Army. The Seventh Red Army Army of our own is facing the Central Army in the direction of Tongguan, the 17th Route Army is in Ankang, the Shanxi-Sui Army is on the other side of the Yellow River, and the Majia Army is on the border between Shaanxi and Gansu. The base area is
The strategic space was created, but the enemy's encirclement was not completely broken.
Such a strategic situation is very bad. All the main forces of the Red Army are restrained by the enemy. If a war breaks out, it will be fought on all sides. Not to mention myself as a time traveler, even Mao Zedong and his comrades may not do this. Alas, if
It would have been nice to take advantage of the situation and deal with Ma Jiajun and Yang Hucheng's troops. If they were dealt with, it would not only improve the strategic situation, but also probably completely give up Yan Xishan's idea of crossing the river and marching westward.
It seems that we must solve the Ma Jiajun's problem before Chiang Kai-shek takes action and completely stabilize the rear.
If the Ma Jiajun is successfully dealt with, Yan Xishan will naturally be able to see that the strategic situation has changed, and I am afraid that he will not easily allow Chiang Kai-shek to drive away.
It's just that the timing of dealing with the Ma Jiajun needs to be carefully thought out. It's the armistice period now. It's impossible for me to risk sabotaging the armistice negotiations by going hard, otherwise the central government won't allow it. It would be great if the Ma Jiajun takes the initiative to attack, but it's a pity that those guys are not stupid.
, will not take risks easily.
The only way is to delay the enemy at Tongguan and the Yellow River, concentrate the main force to advance westward, deal with the Ma Jiajun, and then send the army back eastward to repel Yan Xishan and the Central Army.
One of the unstable factors is Yang Hucheng's troops. I wonder if they will take action after hearing the news. For such a unit that has fought bloody battles on the anti-Japanese battlefield in history, I really can't do it. It is best if they can accept the adaptation.
But now it seems that the work of the central government has not been successful. Yang Hucheng's department is still a variable, and troops must monitor and contain him.
When the troops are used, they will regret it. When they are really facing a big war, they feel that the strength of the Seventh Legion is still insufficient. It’s funny that when I was in a bad mood a few days ago, I was thinking of reducing my military power and dividing the troops. It’s just crazy!
Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Let's concentrate on completing the settlement and military training first. When the Chairman and others arrive, I will report to them. They are strategic experts and can definitely help me.
Thinking of this, Liu Yimin stopped thinking and turned around to go back to rest.
Zhang Qun has been having a good time these days.
Zhang Qun's job at this time was the Chairman of Hubei Province, but as one of Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted cadres, whenever there was a major event, Zhang Qun always took on some important tasks, such as lobbying Zhang Xueliang to change the flag, and being responsible for negotiations with Japan. Therefore, when
When Chiang Kai-shek assigned him to be responsible for negotiating with the Red Army, he accepted the task without hesitation.
Zhang Qun knew Chiang Kai-shek's trump card. His trip north was not so much to negotiate with the Red Army, but to win over Yan Xishan, so that Yan Xishan could concentrate his forces to cross the river and march westward, and attack with the Central Army in Tongguan and the Ma Jiajun on the Shaanxi-Gansu border.
The Red Army occupied Shaanxi.
However, Zhang Qun also had his own ideas and was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's strategy. Zhang Qun, who knew Japan very well, knew that the Japanese were eyeing them and were constantly provoking troubles. At this time, it was unreasonable to concentrate his troops on fighting the Red Army.
Wisdom. However, Chiang Kai-shek's orders cannot be violated, and he can only act in accordance with them.
Fortunately, this trip has lived up to the great trust. Looking at Yan Xishan’s appearance, I am already attracted. Joke, executive president, defense minister, deputy commander-in-chief, which position does not make people excited? Especially the executive president, even the committee members are now
I haven’t done it yet,
Wang Jingwei is doing it with great joy! It’s ridiculous that Wang Jingwei never dreamed that he was still giving orders with great arrogance, but here he was sold as a bargaining chip. This is politics, the politics that makes so many men fascinated!
Feeling that the matter was settled, Zhang Qun was in a good mood. He took his staff and enjoyed a few days in Taiyuan, visiting Jinci Temple and other Shanxi scenic spots. Then he asked to visit Yan Xishan again and let Yan Xishan express his position.
Contrary to Zhang Qun's feelings, Yan Xishan was still in conflict at this time, and the opinions of his generals were not unified. It was not that they were unwilling to fight the Red Army, but they were frustrated by the fact that He Jian was defeated, Xue Yue was damaged, and Hu Zongnan was annihilated.
gain the mind
Uncertain. If we cross the river to join the battle, everyone will be happy if we win, but what if we lose? The Chairman’s family has a great business, so losing a few men is nothing, but the current Jin army is not the Jin army during the Central Plains War a few years ago, how can we lose anything?
Get up!
Besides, the current Red Army is not what it was when it was encircled and suppressed in Jiangxi. It is much stronger than before, and its morale is high after a great victory. It is really not a good time to fight the Red Army at this time.
But if we don't cooperate with the Central Army to defeat the Red Army at this time and let them gain a foothold in Shaanxi, I'm afraid there will never be a chance to defeat the Red Army. The Red Army is not a warlord and is willing to stick to one place. They have the world at heart and we won't fight them today.
, they may come to Shanxi to develop tomorrow. By then, will the Jin army alone be able to stop the Red Army?
Only God knows. Besides, the conditions offered by Chiang Kai-shek are really tempting. The positions of President of the Executive Council and Minister of National Defense are not just granted to people, let alone those who are not involved in Shanxi affairs! As for the deputy commander-in-chief, Yan Xishan does not want to let his subordinates
I don't want to, it's not like I haven't done it before, the position is dispensable. If you have the ability, you can say anything, but if you don't have the ability, it means nothing.
However, Chiang Kai-shek was unreliable and his words never counted. Wang Jialie in Guizhou was a warning. Maybe he would take advantage of the situation and enter Shanxi after destroying the Red Army. At that time, not only would he not reap the benefits, but he would also get burned.
When Zhang Qun asked to see him, it was when Yan Xishan was feeling worried.
As soon as he heard that Zhang Qun had arrived, Yan Xishan hurriedly came out not wanting to lose his etiquette. After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them entered by arms and sat down in the living room.
Yan Xishan first asked Zhang Qun how he was doing in Taiyuan and whether he could get used to the food.
Zhang Qun said: "Taiyuan is such a good place. It's no wonder that Li Yuan and his son were able to start their business and take the world by storm. It is really a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, abundant resources and natural treasures, and outstanding people. Especially the Jinci Temple, Zhou Bohan Sophorarium, Song Dynasty paintings, and the Hard-to-Age Spring are amazing.
I am nostalgic and forget to leave. Fortunately, the weather is not right now. If spring comes, I am afraid that I will want to live in Jinci permanently and will not miss Shu. As for food, I am from Sichuan and have strong taste. I can adapt to all the food in the world. I am worried about you, Brother Baichuan."
Yan Xishan laughed loudly and said: "Yue Jun, I won't call you Chairman anymore. Who made the two of us hit it off so well? Let me tell you, when spring comes, the banks of the Fen River will be covered with red peach and green willows.
Have a bottle of old apricot wine, enjoy the scenery along the river, watch Shanxi children working in the fields, listen to folk songs and shepherd boys playing willow flutes, that is a real pleasure!"
Zhang Qun also clapped his hands and laughed: "Isn't that the artistic conception of 'Mo Chun, the spring clothes are ready, five or six crowns, six or seven boys, bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, chanting and returning.'" Brother Baichuan
So excited!”
Yan Xishan said excitedly: "The one who knows me is Yue Jun!"
Zhang Qun didn't want to talk about poetry and lyricism like this. As soon as the topic changed, he said: "Brother Baichuan, it's a pity that now is not the time for us to appreciate the pastoral scenery, chant plum blossoms and fly cranes! The Japanese are watching with eager eyes, and there is a possibility of attacking at any time. Hong
The bandits have conquered Chengdu and Xi'an, two famous cities, and are arrogant. The country is in dire straits!"
Yan Xishan frowned, this guy couldn't wait any longer, and he was causing a great disgrace to the scenery! He said slowly: "Yue Jun, the Japanese have been so restless recently, can't even the Chairman see it? Can't we concentrate our troops and energy on
Are you coming to resist Japan?"
Zhang Qun smiled heartily, you old fox, why are you saying this to me at this time? You don’t know the policy of entrusting you to pacify your country before going abroad. Why are you giving me such a confused look? He just said: "Brother Baichuan, entrusted me,
Our spirit is to exterminate the Red Bandits as soon as possible, stabilize the country, and then use the power of the whole country to resist Japan. This method is also a fundamental solution. You are the founder of the party and the country, and you are aware of these policies."
Yan Xishan pondered for a moment and said: "Yue Jun, the problem is that these red bandits are difficult to fight! Think about He Jian's three divisions, Xue Yue's 40,000 men, and Hu Zongnan's first division. It's scary! Rather than fighting them
Instead of fighting, it would be better to let them fight against the Japanese army. Wouldn't it be better to use the Japanese army to destroy them?"
Zhang Qun said: "Brother Baichuan, it's not that I haven't thought of this method. The problem is that Mao Zedong is extremely cunning. He will not fight head-on with the Japanese army. What I'm afraid of is that instead of fighting the Japanese, he will come to Shanxi to seize territory. In that case,
, with Shaanxi and Shanxi, it will become a prairie fire, and I’m afraid there will be nothing we can do against them from now on.”
Yan Xishan smiled and said: "Did he come to Shanxi whenever he wanted? I, a descendant of the Three Jin Dynasties, are not easy to get along with. If he doesn't come, just let him go. If he comes, he will be allowed to escape in ashes."
Zhang Qun clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Baichuan said it well. This is what the Chairman wants. However, instead of driving them away when they are poisoning Shanxi, it is better to gather them in Shaanxi and annihilate them. Is it better to fight this war in someone else's country?"
Fighting on the boundary. What do you think, Brother Baichuan?"
Yan Xishan said: "That's what I say, but things are not that simple. Now our army is on the defensive across the board, and the Red Bandits are aggressive. The most important thing at this time is to guard the line of defense and not let the Red Bandits take advantage of the loopholes."
Zhang Qun smiled: "Brother Baichuan, the reason why our army is on the defensive is because the commission wants to adjust its deployment. I came to negotiate with the red bandits this time. Firstly, I want to find out their true strength. Secondly, it's just the two of us. You
It is the national Qiancheng. I will not hide it from you. It is to use negotiation methods to buy time for the commission to adjust the deployment. Once our army is deployed in place and the millions of troops are pointed at it, the Red Bandits will definitely fall apart."
Yan Xishan thought to himself, this is not the first time your commission has used a million-strong army to encircle and suppress the Red Army, nor has it ever completely wiped them out? He said: "Yue Jun, your million-strong army are all those troops."
, come and let me listen."
Zhang Qun said: "Then I'm showing off. Brother Baichuan, don't blame me. For this million-strong army, the commissioned plan is for Liu Xiang's 200,000 troops to cooperate with Chen Cheng, Xue Yue's 200,000 elite troops and Zhang Xueliang's troops to attack northern Sichuan; Qinghai, Ningxia and Gansu troops will start from
Attack from the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu towards Xi'an, Yang Hucheng's troops attack from Ankang towards Xi'an, and another
Deploy the elites of the Central Army to break through the front line from Tongguan and attack Xi'an; Brother Baichuan, 100,000 elites cross the river to march westward, attack Xi'an, and appoint another elite to serve as the general reserve team. Brother Baichuan, under such a situation where the army is gathering and thousands of arrows are fired.
, I think that even if the red bandit has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to escape the trap!"
Yan Xishan thought for a while and said: "Yue Jun, with all due respect, the arrangement of the committee seems to be seamless, but in fact it is full of loopholes. It is hard to say how powerful Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army is, but Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army is now in ruins.
After losing the battle, he collapsed. Yang Hucheng even said that he could not be relied on. The red bandits had occupied his old den, and they didn't even see him fart.
! The Ma Jiajun may still be able to fight, but if the Red Bandits concentrate their efforts to deal with them, they will not be able to resist them. By then, we will just drive the Red Bandits from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and then from Shaanxi to Gansu
.If this is how the commission arranges it, then I'm sorry, but my troops cannot cross the river and go west, because they can't come back after crossing the river."
Zhang Qun was very anxious. He didn't expect this old man to be so stubborn, so he said: "Brother Baichuan, the front line of the Red Bandits is too long now. Once they open fire, their forces will inevitably be concentrated in northern Sichuan and Tongguan, the border of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the hinterland of Shaanxi is empty.
At this time, it is time for your troops to cross the river and march westward to strike with thunder. Seeing that the great success is imminent, I wonder what Brother Baichuan is still worried about? Could it be that the conditions of the appointment are not enough to satisfy Brother Baichuan?"
Yan Xishan shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to make achievements, nor that I don't want to attack the empty Xi'an. The problem is that it is impossible for your attacking troops in northern Sichuan to attack Shaanxi. I know the terrain there. Based on the Sichuan army and Xue Yuegang's victory,
The troops replenished after heavy damage, root
There is no chance of winning. As for Shaanxi, Liu Yimin's troops are currently stationed there. This man has unpredictable abilities. I am afraid that before you can conquer Tongguan and Jianmenguan, his knife will be placed on the necks of my troops.
Got it. I can't risk my brothers' heads."
Zhang Qun saw that he had no choice but to say: "Brother Baichuan, it involves military secrets. I couldn't tell you originally. I will give you a message now. The committee also knows that the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army are not enough to rely on. It is very likely that
Transferred to Wuhan, the main force of the Central Army assembled in Yichang secretly joined the battle. A surprise attack was launched, and the outcome was decided in one battle. I won't tell you the specific situation. You can discuss it directly with the committee later."
Yan Xishan then said: "If this is the case, this battle can still be fought."
Zhang Qun immediately asked: "Brother Baichuan, do you mean that I can report to the committee?"
Yan Xishan weighed for a long time and said: "I started to reorganize and concentrate the troops and prepare the equipment to cross the river. As long as the border between northern Sichuan, Tongguan and Shaanxi-Gansu is fought, our army can cross the river and march westward, directly towards Xi'an, and divide the Red Bandit defense line."
Zhang Qun was overjoyed and said: "Brother Baichuan, after the Shaanxi red bandits are eliminated, I will greet you in Nanjing and welcome your promotion."
Yan Xishan said cheerfully: "Yue Jun is too polite. Let's not talk about that matter for now. It seems that I sent troops just to be an official. This is not good. Let's discuss it later!"
In this way, Zhang Qun, full of joy, bid farewell to Yan Xishan, took his staff and rushed to Xi'an.
On the twenty-third of the first lunar month, which was the morning of February 26 in the Gregorian calendar, Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the Central Column to Xi'an.
Along the way, Mao Zedong and others were very excited to see that various units of the Seventh Red Army were engaged in large-scale military training and settlement. They felt that Liu Yimin was focusing on training with one hand and training soldiers with the other. He was ahead of the entire army. He couldn't help praising Liu Yimin for his long-term vision.
In one step, I am now thinking about the food problem in the second half of the year, which is indeed a far-sighted move.
After arriving in Xi'an, Mao Zedong did not bother to rest and directly convened a Politburo meeting to listen to Zhou Enlai's report on the preparations for negotiations with the Kuomintang, Zhang Wentian's report on the preparations for the establishment of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Shaanxi, and Liu Yimin's report on the operations to occupy Shaanxi.
After the report, Liu Yimin made a special report to the Political Bureau on the construction of the arsenal, the construction of the pharmaceutical factory and the gold mining plan. He also explained that in order to prevent the Japanese aggressors from making Shaanxi the focus of their attacks due to robbing resources, the gold mines and pharmaceutical factories were temporarily under military control and strict
It is kept confidential and only known to members of the Politburo.
These pieces of news were like bombshells. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian and Chen Yun were so excited that they wanted to drink and celebrate. Liu Yimin took the opportunity to propose the establishment of a bank as soon as possible, issue currency, unify finance and taxation, and requested the central government to organize a delegation to visit as soon as possible.
The Soviet Union, please support the Soviet Union in ordnance industry, mines, steel smelting, oil field mining, and smelting equipment. If the other party is unwilling to support, you can pay for it in gold.
Seeing that several leaders were inexplicably excited, Liu Yimin reiterated the matter of letting Ni Hua set up a company in the United States, and proposed not to let the leaders consider the funds, and asked him to approve his plan to raise funds in Beijing and Tianjin as soon as possible.
Chen Yun said that it is imperative to build a bank. Now that the reserves are sufficient, there will be no problem in issuing currency. As for steel and oil refining equipment, are there any mines in Shaanxi? Don't worry if you can't find the mines.
Liu Yimin said with a smile, Shaanxi has coal, oil, and iron ore, which are all recorded in books. Oil was discovered in northern Shaanxi during the reign of Guangxu, but people didn't understand it at that time. It was not called oil. The prospecting was all done by
The Seventh Army Corps is in charge, and the central government is responsible for getting equipment.
As for the visit to the Soviet Union, the meeting soon reached a conclusion, and people would be dispatched after the negotiations with the Kuomintang were concluded.
As for going to Pingjin to raise funds, Mr. Zhu is not allowed to go. If Ni Hua's company is established, the money will be paid from the seized funds. If the peace talks with the Kuomintang succeed, we will consider it again.
The meeting decided that Mao Zedong would take the lead, Zhang Wentian, and Chen Yun would study and formulate land reform policies as soon as possible and implement land reform in Shaanxi. Zhou Enlai and Liu Shaoqi would be responsible for negotiating with the Kuomintang. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De would study the current military situation and prevent the Kuomintang from using negotiations to launch an attack on us.
After the meeting, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng stayed with Liu Yimin and asked him to analyze the current situation between the enemy and the enemy in Shaanxi and study countermeasures.
Liu Yimin reported the enemy situation he had learned so far and expressed the situation between the enemy and ourselves.
Mao Zedong asked: "Comrade Liu Yimin, according to you, this negotiation was in vain?"
Liu Yimin answered in the affirmative, and then said: "This negotiation should be a buffer for both the enemy and us to adjust their strategic deployment. Chiang Kai-shek needs to redeploy troops, and our army needs to organize and train troops. Both sides need this buffer, so they can reach negotiations quickly."
intention. The only shortcoming is that the ceasefire order was issued too quickly. If it had been a few days later and we had solved the problem of Yang Hucheng and Ma Jiajun, the next battle would have been easier to fight."
Mao Zedong nodded and said: "This time Chiang Kai-shek fights again, it will definitely be a big fight, and there will definitely be killers left. Judging from the current situation, there are two killers, one is Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army, and the other is the reserve force of the Central Army
.Yan Xishan
The Shanxi-Sui army must be heading towards Shaanxi, attacking Xi'an, splitting our army in the direction of Tongguan and the direction of the Shaanxi-Gansu border, and defeating them one by one. The Central Army's reserve force is likely to be used in northern Sichuan. When we and Xue Yue, Liu Xiang,
Zhang Xueliang is difficult to kill
When there is a difficult situation, this force will come out and play a decisive role in determining the outcome. Therefore, our army must have a strategic reserve. But under the current situation, we do not have this force. Therefore, the central government plans to stick to key points on the northern Sichuan front line.
The main force hides
We are waiting in hiding, striving to wipe out all the troops and defeat Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression campaign. As for Shaanxi, whether Xi'an can be held or not depends on the Seventh Army Corps. At worst, we leave Xi'an and continue the Long March. Comrade Liu Yimin, what do you think of this problem?"
Liu Yimin saw that several leaders were looking at him eagerly, thought for a while, and said: "To win this battle, Yang Hucheng's problem must be solved as soon as possible. Yang Hucheng is a relatively advanced person. His troops are not equipped well, but the soldiers have strong centripetal force and can fight
Brave. We should seize the time to negotiate with him and let him accept the adaptation. If that doesn't work, then accept his conditions and allow him to station in Ankang and not invade each other. But we have to make it clear to him that if he dares to fish in troubled waters, our army will be annihilated as soon as it is free.
Of."
Liu Yimin paused for a moment, looked at several leaders, and when no one spoke, he said: "My idea is this. The Second Division will be attached to the 25th Red Army to block the stagnant enemy Central Army on the Tongguan line. If necessary,
You can abandon Tongguan
, attack, harass, block, and slow down the enemy's attack speed; assign the Dusan Division to Liu Zhidan's Department of the Northern Shaanxi Red Army to defend the front line of the Yellow River. If Yan Xishan's Department crosses the river in a large scale, the task of this department is also to delay the enemy. Concentrate the 11th Division,
The 12th Division, the 13th Division, the Only Division, the Only 4th Division and the troops directly under the Army secretly moved to the border of Shaanxi and Gansu. When Chiang Kai-shek started the war, they completely killed the main force of the Ma Jiajun. Then they temporarily stopped planning to occupy Gansu and quickly dispatched their troops.
If Yan Xishan marches eastward, if he crosses the river and marches westward, we will defeat him and drive him back to Shanxi. Then we will attack the Central Army near Weinan and beat it to death. If Yan Xishan does not send troops, we will directly set up an ambush in Weinan and take care of him.
Central Army."
Liu Bocheng said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, your plan is theoretically feasible. The problem is that the troops responsible for blocking the enemy in the direction of Tongguan are weak. Can they resist the Central Army? It is also difficult for the river defense troops to resist the Shanxi-Sui Army. Maybe it's not possible.
Even if all these two troops are sacrificed, we will not be able to stop the attack."
Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De also looked at Liu Yimin with questioning eyes.
