The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1050

   On September 19, the “Democratic Political League” was officially reorganized into the “NLD”, and Huang Yanpei became the chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the Voter League.

   The “NLD” at this time, in fact, did not completely favor the Communist Party, and they also had unrealistic illusions about the National Government. Because Lao Jiang likes acting, he always slaps and gives a sweet date to democrats, which makes people feel angry but not completely lost hope.

   In September last year, Lao Jiang put forward the slogan of “implementing constitutional government and returning government to the people” at the First Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang. This made many democrats, including Huang Yanpei, see the light of day. Huang Yanpei was even appointed as a standing member of the Association for the Implementation of Constitutional Affairs of the Supreme National Defense Committee. It seems that Lao Jiang really intends to gradually realize (harmony) the people (harmony) Lord (harmonious) Constitutional (harmonious) government.

   However, Huang Yanpei soon found out that he had been deceived, and Lao Jiang’s so-called constitutional government was another fake trick. Coinciding with Taizu’s proposal to “form a coalition government”, Huang Yanpei and his democratic partners responded immediately, uniting the Communist Party and other democratic parties to put pressure on Lao Jiang.

   Even so, Huang Yanpei still believed that the National Government was the orthodox. He hopes to form a coalition government of various parties with Chang Kaishen as the leader, and does not think the Communist Party can shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading China.

   Until 1945, Huang Yanpei could not see the slightest hope for democracy, so he was invited to Yan’an for a visit. After witnessing the completely different spiritual outlook of the liberated areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas, Huang Yanpei was immediately impressed and became a loyal supporter of the Communist Party.

  On the eve of the Kuomintang’s defeat, Huang Jingwu, the second son of Huang Yanpei, was captured by secret agents, and Taizu ordered to rescue him at all costs. It is a pity that Huang Jingwu was severely tortured and did not reveal his secrets. His legs were interrupted by the spy and he was buried alive.

   Zhou Hexuan still did not join the “Democratic League”, the reason is very simple –

   The “NLD” wanted Zhou Hexuan to be a member of the Central Committee and vice-chairman (the number of vice-chairmen of the NLD was variable, at most there were more than a dozen), but Zhou Hexuan insisted on being an ordinary member. This is purely to not give face to the “Democratic League”. What does it mean that you, Zhou Hexuan, have such great influence and you are only an ordinary member?

  It doesn’t matter, anyway, Zhou Hexuan is still a member of the Zhi Gong Party, and he belongs to the democratic party.

   Let’s go back and talk about the war situation. When the national army suffered a great defeat in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Communist Party’s army went against the trend and launched a partial counteroffensive.

Luo Shuai’s troops in Shandong area recovered a total of 118,000 square miles of land from March to September; Nie Shuai’s troops in Shanxi area captured more than 30 county towns from January to October, recaptured more than 5,000 villages and destroyed them. All the front-line bunkers of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Beiyue Mountains; Liu Shuai’s troops in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas, from March to December, recovered a total of more than 60,000 square miles of land; the Jinsui area of ​​General Lu’s troops, from April to October A total of 97,000 square miles of land was recovered in the month.

   The above are the records of the Eighth Route Army. The New Fourth Army launched an offensive in March and recovered a lot of lost ground. At the same time, it also marched towards the Central Plains with five regiments in mid-August.

The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army achieved so many victories in 1944 because of the following two points: first, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of elites to fight the national army head-on, and the puppet army was used to fill the military vacancy; second, the large-scale production campaign carried out in the base areas of the Communist Party It is very effective, and at this time, it already has a relatively deep logistical self-sufficiency.

  No matter what, this big counterattack left the Japanese army devastated and paralyzed all kinds of logistical supply lines. Even if they caused the defeat of the national army in Henan, Hunan and Guizhou, they would not be able to continue to advance, and they had to spend energy to adjust their troops to rectify the rear.

  The successive victories of the Communist army also made Lao Jiang panic, so the national army in the battlefield behind the enemy once again set off a climax of “ordered to surrender to the enemy”. In the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in 1944, many of them were fighting with the puppet troops who were “ordered to surrender to the enemy”, and the puppet troops who were unwilling to help the Japanese in the civil war often surrendered as an organic system. For example, when Luo Shuai seized the Julin Highway, there were directly 30 squadrons of puppet troops anyway.

  Look at the international battlefield again——

  In January, the Soviet army completely lifted the German threat to Leningrad and hit the German Army North.

   In June, the coalition forces of the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries began the Normandy landing, officially opening up the second European battlefield of World War II.

   At the end of June, the Soviet army completely defeated the German Army Group Center, liberated all of Belarus and entered Poland.

   In August, the U.S. military captured Guam, the Japanese failed to attack Imphal, and the entire Japanese 15th Army was annihilated.

   In October, the US military landed in the Philippines, the Soviet army liberated the capital of Yugoslavia, the Japanese army was defeated in the battle of Leyte Gulf, and the Japanese navy basically lost its combat capability.

  The situation of international anti-fa (and) Western (harmonious) Sri Lanka is very good, except for China…

   Zhou Hexuan was most distressed that after the defeat of Henan, Xianggui, Lao Jiang shouted the slogan “One hundred thousand youth and one hundred thousand troops”. In many colleges and universities, including Central University, Southwest Associated University, Jinling University, and Tongji University, teachers and students have signed up to join the army, and countless educated youths have been buried in the anti-Japanese front.

  The good news is that the big traitor Wang Zhaoming died.

   When Wang Yaqiao sent someone to assassinate Chang Kaishen, but Chang Kaishen did not show up, the assassin shot Wang Zhaoming three times. One bullet hit the left arm and was easily taken out; one hit the lower cheekbone, and it took three operations to take out; the last bullet injured the spine, and the doctor did not dare to take it out, and it stayed in Wang Zhaoming’s body for nearly ten years.

   This is a lead bullet. The lead poison spread to the spinal nerves, tormenting Wang Zhaoming all the time. In the end, the main cause of Wang Zhaoming’s death was the spread of lead poison.

   In fact, it is better for Wang Zhaoming not to die. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he will be charged with treason and thrown into prison and continue to enjoy the torture of lead poisoning. It is too cheap for him to die now. Four months before this **** died, his puppet government forced Chinese women to serve as comfort women!

   In general, although China experienced a major defeat on the frontal battlefield in 1944, everyone knew that the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was just around the corner, because the Allied forces in the European battlefield were too powerful, and the Japanese army in the Pacific theater was already a grasshopper in the autumn.

   That’s why people of insight are eager to think about the issue of post-war nation-building, and try to avoid a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. No one wants to fight again!

  The economic situation in the rear area is appalling, not to mention the people at the bottom, even many businessmen claim that they can’t get enough to eat. There are only more than 500 factories in the entire rear area, which is directly halved compared to last year, and many big capitalists have declared bankruptcy.

   Zhou Hexuan’s factory in Sichuan, only a pharmaceutical factory, an acid-base factory and three daily necessities factories are still in operation, and with the devaluation of the French currency, it continues to lose money.

   Zhou Weilie kept sending telegrams back from Kunming, hoping that my parents could donate more materials to the school. At present, the students of Southwest Associated University often cannot guarantee two meals a day. The students are in a state of hunger as a whole, and sometimes they even faint suddenly during class.

   Zhou Hexuan also wanted to donate, but unfortunately he couldn’t buy a large amount of grain if he had the money. He used to buy a lot of wasteland in Sichuan and built a lot of mutual aid farms, which have been gradually transferred to tenants.

  However, the tenants who got the land asked Zhou Hexuan to take the land back. They are willing to rent the land for 20% to 30% of the grain every year, because the National Government’s requisition policy is too terrifying, it is better to honestly give Zhou Hexuan some rations to live as a tenant.

   In desperation, Zhou Hexuan could only become a big landlord again…
