After Chongqing opened as a port in 1891, French Catholic and Christian Methodist American pastor Ruipu successively purchased real estate in this area and built buildings such as Zhenyuan Church. In the late 1920s, Chongqing began to build and expand new urban areas.
, high-end mansions, residences and villas were built here, gradually forming De'anli and Daxi villa areas.
No. 101 De'anli, the official residence of Chiang Kai-shek, was originally built by the Japanese general Xu Shaozong. Because Xu Shaozong was named "Yaoqing", the house was also called "Yaolu".
Villa No. 103, Soong Meiling's official residence, was designed and built by the wealthy businessman Ding Cihe in 1936, entrusting the construction department of West China Industrial Company. After it was requisitioned by the Chairman's Attendant's Office of the Military Commission, it was renamed Meiling Building. In addition, the villa in the forest garden on Gele Mountain
Meiling Tower and Songting on Huangshan Mountain in Nanshan Town. Soong Meiling had three official residences in Chongqing, both of which were called Meiling Tower.
Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, one was busy directing the war against Japan, the other was busy carrying out diplomacy with the United States, providing disaster relief, and visiting the wounded. They were both working hard on state affairs. Even though they were so busy, Chiang and Song did not forget to promote the New Life Movement and drink tea.
They all changed to drinking boiled water, eating very light meals, and the furnishings of the official residence were also very simple, with wooden tables, wooden chairs, and wooden beds. However, although Soong Meiling lived a simple life, she was also elegant. No, she and her husband lived separately in the urban area.
Two villas, the newly built Huangshan Villa Group in Nanshan Town are also separated into two places according to her wishes. Chiang Kai-shek's official residence is located in Yunxiu Tower, and Soong Meiling lives in Songting Villa. Moreover, Soong Meiling also specifically requested to live in one of her rooms according to her own living habits.
The bathroom was renovated and a ballroom was built in the Songting bedroom of the one-story bungalow. Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law and Executive Director Kong Xiangxi all built a beautiful and luxurious villa "Kongyuan" on Huangshan Mountain that will not be left behind in another 100 years.
Pity the beggars on the streets of Chongqing who donated the last dime they got from begging for food to the Anti-Japanese War. I am afraid they will never imagine how comfortable it would be to live in a luxurious villa to direct the Anti-Japanese War and promote the New Life Movement.
At this moment, the solemn atmosphere in the office of Chiang Kai-shek's official residence at No. 101 De'anli continued. Even the guard officer standing guard at the door seemed to feel the heavy atmosphere in the official residence. He stood up straighter and his eyes widened.
Shen Honglie never thought that he would be able to meet with Chiang Kai-shek's core decision-making team. He stood up excitedly and was about to greet He Yingqin and others.
Chiang Kai-shek stopped Shen Honglie with a sharp look, said "Hmm" again in his nose, and said: "Brother Chang, go ahead and don't stay away. Maybe Jingzhi and the others will look for you to continue to understand the situation in Shandong."
Shen Honglie gained a lot today. He not only became the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, a high-ranking official of the National Government, but also sued the Eighth Route Army and Yu Xuezhong for their cunning, killing two birds with one stone. After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, he knew that the Chairman of the Generalissimo had something important to do.
He stood up, saluted, and left with the captain of the bodyguard, Wang Shihe.
After Shen Honglie left, Chiang Kai-shek's voice seemed a bit steep: "We can no longer tolerate traitors! If this continues, the Republic of China will be destroyed by the Communist Party, if not by the Communist Party! I respect you, tell me how to restrict the Eighth Route Army.
expansion?"
He Yingqin was the second-ranking figure in the Central Army, so Chiang Kai-shek naturally wanted to ask him first.
He Yingqin stretched out his hand to push up his glasses and said a little excitedly: "The Communist Party's problem is an old problem. It is not just in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, the Jiangsu-Anhui border area, and southern Anhui. The Communist Party is expanding its power everywhere. For example, in northern Sichuan.
, were not negotiated during the reorganization of the Red Army, and were leftover issues that still threaten the security of the Chengdu Plain. The Communist Party’s slogan of unity in the war of resistance was actually used to seize territory and recruit troops during the war of resistance. This is particularly infuriating.
Yes, the Communists fought bloody battles with the Japanese troops in the front, but the Communists went behind enemy lines to develop their armed forces and occupy territory. The one who caused the most trouble here was Liu Yimin’s department. I dare to say that despite Liu Yimin’s bravery in fighting Japanese troops and his repeated victories,
With his military exploits and wearing the shining coat of the invincible God of War, he will definitely be the number one general in the battle between the Communist Party and us in the future. For this person, we must not only look at his achievements, but also see the harm he brings to the party and the country.
, we must take precautions and plan early! The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has already made the decision to prevent communism, limit communism, dissolve communism, and promote ***. However, because the *** people have always pointed their attack spearhead at the National Government, we have no time to deal with it*
The expansion of Japan. The war situation in Central China is now stable, but the Japanese army in South China is ready to move. Once the situation in South China is stable, there should be no hesitation in restricting the activities of foreign parties."
This He Yingqin, Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to tell us specific methods, but he gave a long speech! He heard Chiang Kai-shek say irritably: "Don't worry about South China. There is Bai Jiansheng stationed in Guilin and the Japanese army can't overturn the situation! Tell us how to control it in detail.
The situation in Shandong."
He Yingqin said: "Chairman, there are many ways to calm down his anger. Now is the opportunity. Liu Yimin dug a hole and asked Yu Xuezhong's troops to attract the Japanese army with a counterattack, and wiped out the main force of the tenth division rebuilt by the Japanese army. The Japanese army will never
Those who suffer the dumb loss will definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress Liu Yimin's troops. And Liu Yimin will definitely take advantage of the emptiness in Lunan to sweep across Lunan and connect the Eighth Route Army's western Lu, southwestern Lu, Taixi base areas and the Yimeng Mountain area to expand the strategic room for maneuver.
In order to cope with the possible heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army. At this time, our opportunity came. First, we ordered the Yu Xuezhong Department, the New Fourth Division and the Lunan local armed forces to quickly control the Lunan mountainous area so that Liu Yimin's forces could not retreat to Lu at will.
In Nanshan District, let them go head-to-head with the Japanese army. No matter whether Liu Yimin severely inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese army or the Japanese army severely damaged Liu Yimin's department, it would be fine. Second, immediately use the name of the Military Commission to reorganize the local armed forces in various parts of Shandong, give them unified designations, and delineate defense areas.
Airdrop military funds to allow them to develop legally on a large scale. Now Shandong is full of people carrying guns and eating food. In the short term, the armed forces in these places will expand to 150,000 or more. The third is to quickly strengthen the military strength of Shandong. Last month
Didn't the Chairman already summon Li Xianzhou? Ask him to speed up his actions and enter Shandong as soon as possible to join Yu Xuezhong's troops. With the strength of the three armies, plus one to two hundred thousand local armed forces, Liu Yimin can only do one thing if he wants to dominate Shandong.
It’s a dream.”
What He Yingqin said was logical and practical. He was indeed the current chief of staff who had served as the director of education at Huangpu Military Academy, commander of the 1st Division, commander of the 1st Army, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and commander of the 4th Theater Command. He was indeed a sophisticated person.
abnormal.
Zhang Zhizhong, the director of the First Division of the Attendant's Office, couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Reporting to the chairman of the committee, I think the suggestion of Chief of Staff He is worthy of discussion. Since Liu Yimin's troops went north to fight against Japan, they have devoted themselves to killing the enemy and supported the main force of the Japanese army many times.
He did not do anything detrimental to the Communist Party of China. Our army has benefited a lot from General Liu Yimin in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Nanchang, and the just-concluded Battle of Changsha. Yu Xue
The telegram sent by Zhong made it clear that the spoils of Lunan's victory were divided equally between the two sides. General Liu Yimin also retained Fei County as a base for Yu Xuezhong's Ministry. The Eighth Route Army would treat Yu's wounded soldiers and let Yu Xuezhong's Ministry recruit and train troops in Fei County.
They also negotiated for Yu's troops to advance to the front line of Taierzhuang, where the Japanese army was extremely empty, and replenish it on the spot. These facts show that instructor Liu Yimin was wholeheartedly united in the war of resistance, and also united with Xuezhong's troops to defend Shandong. So far, there have been no incidents between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Shandong.
The conflict is inseparable from General Liu Yimin's insistence on unity in the war of resistance. Just imagine, with the great power of the instructors, if they want to disarm the local armed forces in Japan, will they have the ability to resist? We are beyond our reach in the rear, and I am afraid we can only accept what is done.
Facts. Not to mention the local armed forces, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and 57th Army, for example, have never been well supplemented. When they entered Shandong, the two armies only had 40,000 troops. After successive fierce battles, they only had two troops at most.
There are about 5,000 troops, including Wu Huawen's New Fourth Division, and the total strength is only 30,000. With this small number of troops, if Liu Yimin hadn't done it for the sake of the chairman's face and for the sake of unity in the war of resistance, I'm afraid they would have been overthrown by Liu Yimin long ago.
The army disarmed and drove out of Shandong. If we use Shandong's armed forces to provoke Liu Yimin's instructors, it is tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Liu Yimin originally adhered to unity and resistance in the war. What will General Liu Yimin think if we do this? The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army's instructors will
What do you think? Moreover, what will they do? Can we bear the consequences? We must never do this, because those who love us will hate them, and those who hate us will be happy!"
As soon as Zhang Zhizhong finished speaking, there was silence in the room. Yes, Liu Yimin had no hostility towards the Xuezhong Department. If he took action against Liu Yimin's department, wouldn't it be an excuse for Liu Yimin to use force to deal with the Xuezhong Department and those local armed forces?
What?
Before Chiang Kai-shek could reprimand Zhang Zhizhong, He Yingqin said angrily: "The reason why the Communist Party has become powerful is because comrades in the party always have some confused understandings and are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, which has led to today's situation. Although Liu Yimin did not take the initiative to provoke it
Conflict with the Communist Party, but he suppressed the Communist Party's living space in Shandong and destroyed the grassroots political power in Shandong. His crime is unforgivable! Moreover, Liu Yimin's troops were powerful in combat and opened up territory for the Communist Party everywhere.
Without him and his instructors, would Jiangsu and Anhui be where they are today? Would Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei be where they are today? A woman's kindness cannot solve the problem."
Dai Li stood up and first gave a military salute to Chiang Kai-shek: "Report to the principal, students have received reports one after another recently that the loyalist rescuers operating behind enemy lines have been attacked by the New Fourth Army many times and suffered heavy losses. Commander Gu of the Third Theater Command gave
Each department of the New Fourth Army divided the defense zone, but this department violated the policy and used newly formed troops to pretend to be backbone troops to respond in the defense zone. The backbone troops were scurrying around, wandering around without attacking, and focusing on making guns and making money to recruit troops. According to reports from Shanxi, various departments of the Eighth Route Army and
The relationship between Commander Yan and his department has become tense, and there are signs of mobilization and deployment. Comrade Shandong reported that there are *** activities in Yu Xuezhong's department."
After saying that, Dai Li stepped forward and handed a folder to Wang Shihe, who was returning after sending Shen Honglie away, and Wang Shihe presented it to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek began to read the report submitted by Dai Li attentively, and the office became quiet for a while.
After watching for a while, Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and said coldly: "Wen Bai, your thoughts are very dangerous. Everything is done with forewarning or without forewarning. The Communists have never stopped using their tricks to move troops."
, and have never stopped fighting for territory and rallying troops. Anyone who turns a blind eye to the dangers of terrorism or deliberately turns a blind eye is extremely dangerous and will destroy the party and the country!"
Zhang Zhizhong can be regarded as a more righteous person among the Communist generals. Objectively speaking, what he just said is the truth. Chiang Kai-shek cannot listen, what can he do? However, Zhang Zhizhong is a person who dares to speak out.
My Lord, I am not afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's coercion.
Zhang Zhizhong stood up and reiterated: "Report to the Chairman: I think everything depends on the big move. Although the war of resistance has now entered a new stage, it does not mean that we can sit back and relax. The Japanese army is still very powerful, and we need the Eighth Route Army to hold off the Japanese army on the battlefield behind enemy lines."
The back leg requires elite troops like the Eighth Route Army instructors who have repeatedly performed miracles to consume the Japanese army. For both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, at present, both sides will benefit from cooperation, and both will lose from division. This is an indisputable fact. If the Eighth Route Army did not hold back the Japanese North China Front,
, can we have this situation now? Therefore, I stick to my point of view and ask the chairman to think again."
Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a while.
There was no way, Zhang Zhizhong had this temper, but he was very loyal to Chiang Kai-shek. He was ordered to command the defense of Nanjing, and he fought very well. Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he couldn't bear to do anything to him, so he waved him down to study and understand the Five
The spirit of the Central Plenary Session.
After Zhang Zhizhong left, He Guoguang began to speak.
He Guoguang and the deceased Yang Yongtai were Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted military think tanks. Chiang Kai-shek's ability to conquer various warlords in Sichuan was closely related to He Guoguang's strategy and wisdom. After the Red Army's Long March, Liu Yimin led his army to attack Chengdu, He Guoguang He brought a staff group to Sichuan and set up the Chongqing Camp of the Chairman of the Military Commission in Chongqing, with Gu Zhutong as the camp director, He Guoguang as the chief of staff, and Yang Yongtai as the secretary-general, to urge Liu Xiang and other Sichuan warlords to fight the Red Army. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, He Guoguang stayed in Chongqing and was promoted to deputy director of the Chongqing Camp. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government moved westward to Sichuan, and the Chongqing Camp moved to Chengdu and was renamed Chengdu Camp. He Guoguang was promoted to director and continued to take on the task of appeasing the Sichuan army generals. Liu Xiang died of illness Later, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to appoint He Guoguang as chairman of Sichuan Province, but the Sichuan army generals opposed it. Wang Lingji even threatened that if He Guoguang dared to take office, he would be greeted with machine guns and artillery. The matter had to be dropped.
He Guoguang was specially recruited by Chiang Kai-shek this time, because Chiang Kai-shek wanted to summon Shen Honglie to discuss the war in Shandong, so He Guoguang was specially asked to come back to counsel the military aircraft.
Just now, after Shen Honglie reported to Chiang Kai-shek, He Guoguang said angrily that Liu Yimin had a terrible intention. Now that he had calmed down, he carefully considered the words of He Yingqin and Zhang Zhizhong, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Report to the Chairman of the Committee, I want to After a while, I have some insights and I will report it to the Chairman for your consideration."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded and motioned for him to continue.
