Chapter 708: Fist-sharp Huo

The signing of the Double Ten Agreement is actually just a prop for both parties to act.

The Kuomintang-Communist negotiations between Chongqing and Nanjing were held at the same time, and the two influenced each other. The battles between the two sides were mainly in areas where negotiations were controversial, such as the Northeast, northern Jiangsu and the Central Plains, while the "inherent" areas recognized by the two sides, such as Yan'an, had almost no battles.

On the contrary, if one party enters the other party's inherent area, if the CCP enters Changchun and the National Army enters Zhangjiakou, it will cause strong protests from the negotiators on the other party.

The CCP still openly operates in the Kuomintang-controlled area and issues the Xinhua Daily in Chongqing. Therefore, the civil war at this time has not yet broken out in the way of open breaking between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

Since the January armistice order, the two sides have reopened to fight to seize the vacuum left by the Soviet retreat.

In March 1946, as the Soviet army withdrew from the Northeast, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party launched a fierce battle in the Northeast. From April to May, fierce battles broke out in Changchun.

In May, with the launch of elite 111th Division and other units, the Kuomintang army severely damaged Lin Biao's troops in Siping, and chased them from the entire Liaobei to the Songhua River to approach Harbin.

At this time, Du Peng, the commander of the 111th Division, fought three times with the Communist Party troops in Changchun, Siping and other places, with two wins and one draw, and still maintained the myth of unbeaten by the 111th Division.

When the news of Lin Biao's defeat came, Mao Zedong frowned and said, "Although Zheng Yong is not here, his troops are still brave and good at fighting. If the 111th Division is not eliminated for a day, the situation in the Northeast will be difficult to settle."

At this time, under the oppression of US special envoy Marshall, the National Government issued a second armistice order on June 6, but during the armistice, the representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party still did not reach an agreement on the reorganization of the government and the regime in northern Jiangsu.

And at this moment, the situation in the Central Plains changed again.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Xiannian led the New Fourth Army to engage in the war of resistance behind enemy lines in Henan and Hubei. At the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1944, the main force of the 359th Brigade of the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party of China formed the Eighth Route Army's southward detachment, and went south to Hunan, Guangdong and other border areas, trying to open up a base in South China.

In 1945, Wang Zhen's troops returned to Hubei and met with Li Xiannian's troops.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War in the same year, Wang Shusheng's unit of the Eighth Route Army went south to Henan and Li Xiannian and Wang Zhen's unit to join. The three parts formed the Central Plains Military Region, which was under the jurisdiction of two columns of field troops, three independent brigades of the three military regions and local teams, totaling about 60,000. The military region leader Li Xiannian and Zheng Weisan were two. The area controlled by the military region was called the "Central Plains Liberated Area" by the CCP and was one of the six major liberated areas of the CCP.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the 18th Army, 66th Army and 75th Army of the National Government Army of the Republic of China formed a clamp-shaped encirclement under the command of Chiang Kai-shek.

Liu Zhi, director of the Zhengzhou Pacification Office, served as commander-in-chief, Cheng Qian, chairman of the Military Committee of the National Government, the head of the Wuhan camp of the Wuhan government, and Hu Zong's southern part to the northwest. In November 1945, 40,000 main forces of the Communist Party of China's Central Plains troops were surrounded in a narrow area with a radius of less than 100 kilometers around Xuanhuadian.

From January 1946 to June, thousands of conflicts occurred between the two sides, and the territory of the Chinese Communist Party's army gradually shrank.

The Communist Party tried to transfer the Central Plains troops safely. On April 29, 1946, Mao Zedong called Zhou Enlai in Nanjing with the Kuomintang and the United States negotiators to strive for the legal transfer of the Central Plains troops.

On April 30, Mao called the Central Plains troops, "It should be the best policy to strive for legal transfer according to the original plan."

On May 1, Zhou Enlai negotiated with the Kuomintang representatives and demanded that the National Government lift the siege to prevent the coming civil war. On May 5, Zhou Enlai flew to Wuhan to negotiate.

On May 6, he went to the area where the Central Plains troops were located with the Kuomintang and arrived at Xuanhuadian on the 8th. On May 10, Zhou Enlai signed the Hankou Agreement with the Kuomintang and the US representatives to stop the war in the Central Plains. However, the siege was not lifted.

In early June, General Marshall mediated and the Kuomintang issued a June armistice order, and the armistice ended on June 26.

On May 2, 1946, Mao Zedong replied to the Central Plains troops: "When attacking stubbornly, fight a few battles on the spot and do not leave easily, so as to avoid the invasion of the enemy's provocation and self-defeat. The policy of breaking west is very good."

On May 29, Mao instructed all military regions to "fully prepare for a large-scale attack against the Kuomintang."

On June 1, Mao Zedong telegraphed the Central Plains troops: "The attitude of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek is extremely bad to me, and a comprehensive civil war is inevitable." "We must prepare to deal with enemy attacks and breakthroughs." On June 19, Mao sent the Central Plains troops to prepare to break out north.

On June 22, Mao asked the Chinese Communist troops in the Taihang Mountains and Shandong to advance south and cooperate with the Central Plains troops to break through. On June 23, Mao Zedong ordered the Central Plains troops to "agree to break through immediately, the faster the better, and do not have any concerns, survival first and victory first."

During this period, the Central Plains Military Region of the Communist Party of China made a number of preparations for breakthroughs, including demobilization of 10,000 people, transferring nearly 1,000 wounded and sick people, and disguising a large number of cadres to North China and other places.

On June 10, 1946, Chiang Kai-shek issued a secret order from Nanjing: asking Liu Zhi to "strictly monitor the activities of the Communist Army and stand by to attack."

On June 14, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Cheng Qian to "(I) dispatch all troops outside the Henan-Hubei-Anhui border region to tightly block the Communist army, attack in a separate way, and annihilate all the Communist troops in the Central Plains; (II) In order to avoid the Communist Party’s accusations and the embarrassment of the US mediation, the troops under the Wuhan camp were ordered to be under the command of the Zhengzhou Pacification Office."

On June 20, Liu Zhi reported the encirclement and suppression plan to Chiang Kai-shek, and divided Pinghan Road into three "encirclement and suppression areas".

Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Kuomintang army to prepare for a general attack on July 1, and to encircle and annihilate the Communist Army of the Central Plains within 24 hours.

July 1, 1946, Nanjing.

The cups were filled with wine, and the couple of red men and green women could not feel the killing atmosphere on the battlefield.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there were almost every day such cocktail parties.

In order to celebrate the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and to make up for the past eight years of worry, these cocktail parties and dances are of course essential.

Obviously, the most eye-catching of these people is the young man who was holding a glass of red wine and wearing a well-fitting foreign uniform, and was talking to several Kuomintang military and political officials.

In his thirties, his fitted clothes are paired with his handsome face, like a young master who has been in a long history. He absolutely cannot believe that this man once commanded a million troops to fight on the bloody battlefield.

Zheng Yong, General Zheng Yong, a first-level general of the National Government!

Of course, Zheng Yong has only one official title now, but like the honorary chairman of the "Women's Movement", Zheng Yong has a lot of titles like this.

After retreating from his position, Zheng Yong seemed to have no place to adapt at all. He lived a very free and comfortable life with Huang Yuxin's company, and all the invitations from social groups were agreed.

"Women's Movement", "People's Livelihood and Civil Rights Federation"... Zheng Yong never refuses any invitation to him, whether he is participating in an event or holding a false title.

Compared with the previous General Zheng, I was completely like a different person.

"Thank you General Zheng for supporting this charity party. This charity party will definitely be headlined tomorrow because of General Zheng's arrival." The person speaking was the wife of a director of the Investment Management Committee of the National Government, Lu Chong, the famous socialite.

"It is a great good deed to raise funds against disabled soldiers in the war. Even if Mrs. Tang doesn't invite me, I will definitely come uninvited."

Zheng Yong said as he blew up.

"Please don't call me Mrs. Tang, call my English name Mansha." Lu Meng said with a smile on his face.

As the organizer and the hostess here, I really didn't expect Zheng Yong to come.

I had an invitation to him before, but with a try attitude, I never knew him and Zheng Yongke, but Zheng Yong really agreed so readily after receiving the invitation.

"Everyone, be quiet. Now we continue to auction. The auction is a necklace donated by Miss Mansha. The proceeds will still be donated to the Disabled Military Management Committee after deducting the necessary expenses!"

The host's words made everyone quiet for the time being.

Obviously, there are many men who admire Lu Geng, the auction atmosphere is very warm, and the prices are soaring, and it will not stop temporarily until it is around 6,000.

"I'll pay ten thousand!"

At this time a voice broke the silence.

Everyone's eyes turned to the voice.

Zheng Yong, the legendary general Zheng Yong.

"Ten thousand, General Zheng Yong paid 10,000. Is there any more to make? Is there any higher one?"

Zheng Yong's price is very high, and his special identity makes even those who are willing to raise the price have fallen into their hands.

"I announce that this necklace is now owned by General Zheng Yong!"

After taking the exquisite necklace, Zheng Yong walked to Lu Geng, unexpectedly owing his waist slightly, and said:

"Miss Mansha, please allow me to return this necklace to the original owner."

The scene was stunned for a while, and then bursts of cheers burst out.

"General, if you are lucky, please help me bring this necklace you bought for me."

Lu Meng said with a smile.

Zheng Yong did not refuse and put it on Lu Meng with his own hands. The envy of the men's eyes at the scene was revealed, while the jealousy of the women's eyes was revealed.

"Hey, what a great general of war. Since he was dismissed from the above, his whole body seems to have changed. He is a cocktail party and chases a woman. Alas, what can I say?"

In a corner of the banquet, a businessman sighed repeatedly:

"When the war is about to break out, the government is not using such a general. What are you thinking about? General Zheng is the same. Why are you so self-destructive?"

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." His companions said repeatedly, their eyes constantly wandering around:

"Those are all national affairs. We people without power and power only want to live a peaceful life. Why bother to cause these unintentional disasters?"

There was a quiet conversation outside the door and suddenly there was a singing voice:
Chapter completed!
