Bai Shujie and his two generations are human beings, so they naturally know that the issue of the incident in southern Anhui is an extremely complicated issue and a mystery for the ages.

The official proclamation of the Kuomintang reads: "According to the telegram of Gu Zhutonghai, commander of the Third Theater, the newly formed Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army disobeyed the order and did not comply with the dispatch. Since last month, it has not been a day since the entire army has been concentrated in the Jiangnan area to deliberately disrupt the war situation, sabotage the anti-Japanese front, and conspire against the law. At the beginning of this month, Zijing County sneaked southward, and on the fourth day (January 4, 1941, author's note), he dared to understand that attacking the position of the anti-Japanese army in front of us was dangerous to the Hài nation, acting for the enemy, and being mad. ”

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) issued a proclamation to the outside world: "The Southern Anhui Incident is a long-brewing national anti-Anhui Incident by the Kuomintang. The beginning of the sudden incident revealed that Jiang and Ri colluded and deliberately plotted to destroy. The republican fight against the crimes of the people's army. He called on the people of the whole country to rise up and struggle, and put forward 12 fundamental measures to resolve the southern Anhui incident, including the cancellation of the reactionary order, the punishment of the culprits of the Southern Anhui Incident, the restoration of freedom, the return of all the guns of the New Fourth Army, the abolition of the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang, and the implementation of democratic government."

One of the suspicions: Chiang Kai-shek's main basis for approving the move was that the New Fourth Army deliberately attacked friendly forces southeast of Yunling, that is, the 40th Division of the 32nd Group Army stationed on the front line of Sanxi Town, Xingtan Town, and Langqiao Town.

But Bai Shujie has studied the situation of the two sides here, and this reason is simply untenable.

At that time, the left flank of the 40th Division, that is, directly south of Yunling, was more than 20,000 men of the 62nd and 79th Divisions; On the right flank of the 40th Division, that is, east of Yunling, were more than 20,000 men of the 52nd and 108th Divisions of the 32nd Group Army.

There were more than 50,000 enemies to the east and south of Yunling, and the headquarters of the New Fourth Army were all government cadres, of whom one-third were women. The real guard unit is a guard regiment of more than 2,000 people.

Even if Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army at that time, didn't count, Xiang Ying, the deputy commander, was also a general who led the troops. Not to mention other enemies, just one 40th Division may not be able to move, how can the New Fourth Army take the initiative to attack friendly forces?

Suspicion 2: The "Operational Plan for Exterminating the Bandit Army South of the Yellow River" reported by Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang to Chiang Kai-shek was on November 14, 1940. The reason declared by the Nationalist Government to the outside world was that "[the New Fourth Army] did not listen to the dispatch and was purely a rebel army." ”

The real situation is that in addition to the above-mentioned five divisions with more than 60,000 people blocking the south and east, there are also the 144th Division of the 32nd Group Army and the New 7th Division due north, totaling more than 20,000 people, at the Yunling Headquarters of the New Fourth Army.

In other words, Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang had already taken out all their main forces of more than 80,000 men half a year ago to surround Yunling, Jing County, where the headquarters of the New Fourth Army was located, leaving no gap at all.

In this grim situation where dumplings will soon be made, there are only more than 9,000 people in the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and most of them are non-combatants, how can they be indifferent?

Moreover, the New Fourth Army's northward crossing of the Yangtze River was originally an established strategy and an agreement reached between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so how could there be a problem of not listening to the dispatch? Moreover, the vanguard of the New Fourth Army, that is, Chen. Yi, Su. Yu had already crossed the river.

The third suspicion is that since the New Fourth Army has been "planning for a long time" to attack friendly forces, how could Ye Ting, as the army commander, take the staff of the military department and take the initiative to go to Shangguan Yunxiang's headquarters to negotiate, and be imprisoned without resistance? Isn't this looking for your own death?

Actually, the real situation should look like this:

Prior to this, Ye Ting had specially discussed the issue of the New Fourth Army crossing the Yangtze River north with Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang, and the line of action had also been determined, but Chiang Kai-shek did not agree to this route.

Because the most critical point of this route is that the New Fourth Army will pass through the line of Langxi and Liyang!

The line of Langxi and Liyang is just in the middle of Nanjing and Hangzhou, less than 100 kilometers away from Nanjing.

Chiang Kai-shek's concern was that although the place was very close to Japan, it was basically surrounded by the Japanese. However, the vitality of the New Fourth Army was very tenacious, and if they did not leave by then, they would take root in this place and deal with the Japanese. Once the New Fourth Army grows stronger, Ye Ting and them can occupy Nanjing with their feet raised!

Nanjing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, was lost in the hands of someone Chiang, which was a great shame.

If it is recaptured by the New Fourth Army, and then it is based on it, it will be the worst thing in the world, at least Jiang thinks so!

Chiang Kai-shek did not agree with Ye Ting's headquarters to take this route, in addition to fearing that Han Deqin's headquarters on the Shandong side would be attacked, the same concern was that Ye Ting's New Fourth Army headquarters was placed on the Huai'an line north of Nanjing.

Huai'an is less than 200 kilometers away from Nanjing, and if the New Fourth Army develops and grows here, Nanjing will still be in Ye Ting's pocket. Therefore, these places would rather be handed over to the Japanese and the puppet army than allow the New Fourth Army to survive.

The most fundamental reason for the outbreak of the "Southern Anhui Incident" was that Chiang Kai-shek absolutely could not allow the Chinese Communist Party to occupy the capital Nanjing!

In the traditional consciousness of the Chinese, whoever takes the lead in occupying the capital is the justifiable "orthodox", and Chiang Kai-shek pays the most attention to this.

In the Jianghuai area, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the regular army of the national government has not a single hair, and all of them are little devils and puppet soldiers who swagger through the market.

However, the Kuomintang did not agree with the activities of the New Fourth Army in this area from top to bottom, and insisted that the New Fourth Army cross the Yellow River north and leave Nanjing.

From the perspective of the strategic significance of the overall situation of resistance against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek's demand is completely unreasonable, and there is no way to explain this kind of thinking.

Because according to Chiang Kai-shek's order, it is analyzed: behind the enemy lines in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, no one needs to make trouble for the little devils, just let the little devils do whatever they want, just don't see it.

However, on both sides of the Yellow River, there were Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, Wei Lihuang's Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party.

If the New Fourth Army is also squeezed to both sides of the Yellow River, and there is no room to turn around, how can it carry out guerrilla warfare?

Therefore, the New Fourth Army should go deep behind enemy lines in Jianghuai, gradually seek a firm foothold, and deal with the Japanese devils in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Chiang Kai-shek naturally resolutely refused to agree, and strongly demanded that the New Fourth Army must cross the Yellow River north and leave his forbidden territory -- Nanjing, and irreconcilable contradictions will arise.

Bai Shujie believes that Chiang Kai-shek's order is unreasonable in advance, and even if the New Fourth Army disobeys the order, there is no big mistake.

The ancients have already passed: "The general will be a foreign king, and his fate will not be affected!" ”

From the perspective of the overall situation of resistance against Japan, the New Fourth Army's move was not wrong. Wherever there is an enemy, there is a place where the battle should take place.

Wherever you can resist Japan, why don't you let the little devils in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jianghuai not fight, and you must go north of the Yellow River to resist Japan? What good is it to ignore a large number of enemies and to fight against the future of Japan?

The area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the most important part of the little devil's operation in East China, Central China, and South China, and it is also the engine that the little devil will operate around the South China Sea.

At this juncture, it is wrong for the two brothers to do whatever it takes to cause the loss of national defense forces.

Anyway, now that the two brothers in the family have started fighting, Bai Shujie can't sit idly by.

"Issued a telegram: Shocked to learn that an armed conflict has broken out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Jing County, southern Anhui, this commander is deeply saddened. Regardless of the differences, no matter what they are, the Commander has now ordered an immediate ceasefire between the two sides and solemnly issued a telegram to explain his position. ”

"For the sake of the future of the Chinese nation, Lao Tzu did not hesitate to kill 4,000 people and save 9,000 people! Within two hours, the commander will surely be angry with his husband, and even if he is infamous for thousands of years, he will brazenly bomb Gaotan, Dongliu Mountain, Qiuling, Lujiao Mountain, Dakang, and Fengcun. ”

"In order to avoid accidental injury, this commander ordered the 144th and 79th Divisions of the Gaotan Line to immediately withdraw 20 kilometers west; The 40th Division of Dongliushan immediately withdrew 20 kilometers south; The 52nd Division of Qiuling immediately withdrew 20 kilometers eastward; The 108th Division of the Lujiaoshan and Dakang lines immediately withdrew 40 kilometers north; The new 7th Division on the front line of Fengcun immediately retreated 40 kilometers north! ”

"Order: The Air Force immediately took off 2 strategic reconnaissance planes carrying 100,000 antibiotics, 120 heavy machine guns, 480 light machine guns, 480 grenades and 1 million rounds of ammunition and 50,000 rounds of gun grenades. From Shanghai, he turned around and went west to reconnoiter the line of Shijingkeng in the northeast of Huangshan Mountain in southern Anhui, and airdropped medicines, weapons and ammunition. Report the battlefield immediately if you find it, and there must be no mistakes! At the same time, it undertook the command task of aerial bombardment. ”

"Order: In the mixed fleet that is being tested in the waters off Jeju Island, 40 heavy bombers will immediately carry 360 tons of conventional high-explosive bombs, and then take off from the aircraft carrier and fly to the territory of Jing County to receive the command of a strategic reconnaissance plane. Who dares not to obey orders, regardless of the size of the head, all of them will be fried into meat puree for Lao Tzu! ”

Finally, Lao Tzu once again warned Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang: Your troop deployment, the command headquarters above the regiment commander, Lao Tzu is clear. If you really want to annoy Lao Tzu, you will blow up your headquarters and the entire 32nd Army to smithereens today, so that you will not even be able to be a ghost in your next life! ”

"Lao Tzu dared to bomb the Tokyo capital of the little devil, and dared to bomb Nanjing, where Wang Jingwei stole the territory, and now bomb you Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang, is it bullshit? Whoever dares to blow up a thorn in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants him to look good! Well-known does not have. ”

"Big brother, you're crazy, aren't you?" Zhao Jinxi's face turned red: "You directly threatened with force and ordered the entire 32nd Group Army, this is the overlord's method, aren't you worried that the people of the whole country will scold you?" ”

Bai Shujie waved his hand, and at the same time shouted at Xiao Lamei: "Look at what, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, hurry up and send out the electricity!" Otherwise, the 9,000 people from the commander down to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army will be finished! Besides, scolding and scolding, will I lose three taels of meat? You know, I'm the devil, otherwise how can I be worthy of this title? ”

The New Fourth Army reacted quickly, and in less than twenty minutes, Xiao Lamei rushed in: "The headquarters of the New Fourth Army is telegraphed: Our department accepts the mediation of Commander-in-Chief Bai. As long as friendly forces give way to the established passage, I guarantee that the cadres and fighters of the New Fourth Army will absolutely not have any incidents of misfire. Xiang Ying. ”

Two hours later, Air Force Commander Zhang Nianzu called: "The reconnaissance plane has arrived north of Huangshan and found that there are about 100,000 people in three encirclements. Now the bomber formation has arrived at its destination, and medicines, weapons and ammunition have been airdropped. Is it really bombing next? That's all my own people! ”

Bai Shujie said angrily: "Don't you know that Lao Tzu is your own person?" Both of them have already fought a real fire, and it is impossible to stop. The troops of the New Fourth Army are all government cadres, and most of them are women. Besides, they don't have many bullets at all, and they are about to run out of ammunition. ”

"Gu Zhutong is determined to destroy the 9,000 people of the New Fourth Army, and now he can't care about so much. The bombers were ordered to start bombing the open area between the lines of fire between the two sides, and then carry out a drive-by bombing from the inside out. ”

"Let the deflated calves look closely, and try to drop the bombs where no one is around. The main purpose is to make it impossible for the brothers of the national army to gain a foothold on the position, not to really kill many people, don't fucking be blind. Chicken. Ba litter! ”

"Next, use five bombers to keep an eye on the national troops in other directions, concentrate on bombing the first line of Qiuling and Lujiao Mountain to the east of the position, and blow up a 10-kilometer-wide passage for the New Fourth Army to cover their departure."

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
