1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Oppose the Ganzhou Campaign?

You might be labeled a "centrist" or even a "counter-revolutionary" today! The atmosphere in the room became sinister again.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Wentian spoke slowly:

Comrades, aren't we discussing how to handle the correspondence? On such an urgent matter, why not discuss other matters? How about a show of hands?

".."

Everyone looked at each other and finally agreed to this suggestion:

"Now, those who agree to send this information to the Soviet Central Bureau, please raise your hands!" Zhao Ziqi naturally raised his hand in agreement, followed by Zhang Wentian and Chen Yun;

However, to everyone's surprise, Li Zhusheng, who had initially supported the proposal, did not raise his hand, but Kang Sheng, who had always opposed it, actually raised his hand! This confused everyone:

No... Li Zhusheng objected again, perhaps because of the previous argument that made him hesitate;

But since you, Kang Sheng, agreed to send the intelligence to the Soviet area, why were you arguing so vigorously just now? Were you kidding?

Facing everyone's gaze, Kang Sheng replied calmly:

"I just question the authenticity of this document. I don't object to sending it to the Soviet area for verification. Even if it is fake, it has its fake value." The too young Bo Gu nodded slightly to express his satisfaction.

At first, I thought Kang Sheng had something against Zhao Ziqi and several other comrades, but now it seems that he was just discussing the matter at hand! No one knows what Kang Sheng was actually thinking:

If he disagreed and the intelligence turned out to be true, he would certainly be held accountable in the future. Even if it turned out to be false, he would not be held responsible. If he agreed to send it, and the intelligence turned out to be true, he would be credited. Even if it turned out to be false, he would most likely not be held responsible. Even if there was responsibility, it would be Zhao Ziqi's. In short, of the nine members of the Provisional Politburo, excluding Bo Gu, the votes in favor and against were exactly four to four.

In other words, the vote in his hand will determine whether this information will be sent to the Soviet area.

Bogu was silent and thinking.

Indeed, as Chen Yun and others said, if the intelligence was true and they did not send it, the Red Army would suffer heavy losses; even if the intelligence was false, it would not cause much damage if the Soviet Central Committee verified it.

So, Bogu raised his hand. Now, it was 5 against 4.

Collective decision-making, the minority obeys the majority.

They immediately arranged for comrades from the Central Secretariat (due to Gu Shunzhang's betrayal, the radio station originally under the management of the Central Special Branch had been transferred to the Central Secretariat) to use the remaining radio station to send a telegram to the Soviet Central Bureau. Then, Zhao Ziqi made a second request:

"That comrade also wrote a letter to Comrade Li Desheng. Should we also send it to Comrade Li Desheng by telegram?" "No!"

Before he finished speaking, Bogu jumped out and raised an objection:

"Sending intelligence itself is dangerous, so how can you use a public radio station for private matters?" There is some truth to this.

Because on September 15 last year, the Soviet base area and the Shanghai Party Central Committee Special Branch Radio Station successfully exchanged an encrypted telegram, which realized the first wireless communication between the Soviet area and the Shanghai Party Central Committee. It was not mature in all aspects. By the way, the telegram sent from Shanghai to the Soviet area was "Has Ren Bishi arrived in the Central Soviet Area?", and the reply was "Bishi arrived safely."

However, this was not the main reason why Bogu rejected Zhao Ziqi;

The main reason is that Li Desheng is the biggest obstacle to Wang Ming's power in the Soviet area...

"I think based on that person's behavior, this shouldn't be personal..." "Then open the letter and see what it says!"

Zhao Ziqi was speechless.

This brings us back to the question of "private letter or public letter".

Although the others were curious about why that person would write a letter specifically to Li Desheng, they did not agree to send a letter by telegram because it was too extravagant and too dangerous. So they finally decided that the next time a comrade went to the Soviet area, they would take the letter with them and then pass it on to Li Desheng.

By this time, someone had been dismissed from his position as acting secretary of the Central Committee for his strong opposition to the Ganzhou Campaign and had been sent to the ancient temple on Donghua Mountain in the suburbs of Ruijin, Jiangxi, to "recuperate." In short, the meeting was over.

If Mark and his agent, who knew the history, were present, they would definitely complain:

Wow, this interim Politburo is really "awesome." Of the nine people in total, four are traitors, and the political stance of one is also very questionable.

A group of people who stayed far away in Shanghai, and when they found the situation was dangerous, they ran away to Moscow to give remote commands, remotely command someone, and then remotely commanded the major Soviet areas as the commander-in-chief of the Communist Party of China? You are really fucking kidding me.

056 Sixty thousand versus three thousand, with such a huge advantage, how could they lose?

Central Soviet Area, Ruijin.

Late at night, an urgent telegram was received from the Shanghai Central Provisional Political Bureau radio station. After translating the contents, the receiver did not hesitate to report the matter to the radio brigade's superiors, and then reported it all the way. Soon, General Zhu, who was elected Chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Chinese Soviet Republic on November 25, 1931, received the news and was immediately shocked.

Because, as reported to the Provisional Central Committee, the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission judged that Ganzhou only had a few thousand miscellaneous troops, and the remaining militia was completely insignificant! If this intelligence was true, then the Red Third Army, with only about 14,000 people, would have no chance of taking Ganzhou!

So, General Zhu, who had never supported the attack on Ganzhou, brought Wang Jiaxiang with him and quickly called Wu Hao, then secretary of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area, to inform him of the matter. Wu Hao was clearly still half asleep and confused:

"Where did the Central Committee get this information? How come they know more about Ganzhou's situation than we do?"

Wu Hao had personally trained the Central Special Branch, responsible for intelligence and security. If they had such crucial intelligence, there was no way they wouldn't have known about it! "Regardless of where they got this information, should we quickly pass it on to the Red Third Army and have them investigate?"

At this time, both the Communist Party of China and the Central Soviet Area itself were in considerable chaos in terms of power structure, power ownership and power operation.

Although Zhu and Wang Jiaxiang were the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, and theoretically could decide on their own whether to proceed or suspend such military operations, they were not able to do so in practice. This was because they were supervised by the Soviet Central Bureau, which was under the control of General Secretary Wu Hao. According to the principle of "the Party commands the gun," they had to obey the Soviet Central Bureau.

The Soviet Central Bureau, in turn, had to obey the orders of the Provisional Central Political Bureau, which was far away in Shanghai. Even the attack on Ganzhou was actually an order issued directly by the Provisional Central Committee, which then passed it down to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission for instructions. However, the Provisional Central Political Bureau did not have absolute authority. They had to listen to Wang Ming, who had fled to the Soviet Union to hide and served as the CCP's representative to the Communist International.

Behind Wang Ming was the Communist International, whose words had absolute final say on the direction and future of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese revolution.

As for who was in charge of the Communist International, there's no need to explain it, right?

This shows how chaotic the CCP was at that time and how long its chain of command was.

This chaos actually began during the Jinggangshan period and only intensified after the Shanghai Central Committee gained direct contact with the Soviet Central Bureau. "It's no use looking for Comrade Mao. Above him is the Provincial Party Committee, above the Provincial Party Committee is the Central Committee, above the Central Committee is the Communist International, and behind the Communist International is Moscow." Let's get back to the point.

Wu Hao thought for a while and agreed with General Zhu:

"Then send a telegram to Comrade Peng Dehuai and ask them to verify this information from various sources." After thinking for a moment, he added:

"Send someone else to deliver a copy of the information to Comrade Li Desheng as well."

General Zhu paused and nodded slightly:

"it is good."

After quickly arranging personnel to send a telegram, everyone could not sleep. They could only handle official business while waiting for a response from the army in the front.

Here, Marshal Peng, who had just led the vanguard troops to the vicinity of Ganzhou and had slept for less than an hour, was awakened and saw the telegram. He frowned and instinctively chose not to believe it. 18000 people?

How is that possible!!

That's the 34th Brigade of the 12th Division of the Yunnan Army, not the 34th Division!

Early reconnaissance and reports from Communist Party members hidden in the 68th Regiment of the 34th Brigade indicate that the 34th Brigade definitely only has a little over 3000 men! Could it be that they secretly sent in reinforcements during this period?

No, if there was such important intelligence, the soldiers of the 68th Regiment would have contacted us! Therefore, it is most likely false intelligence!

There is a reason why Marshal Peng despised Ganzhou so much.

According to intelligence, there was only a ragtag brigade of over 3000 men here, with extremely weak combat effectiveness, having been severely beaten by the Red Army just two years ago. Even if we add the local reserve forces of over 640 men from various defense corps and the militia of over 4000 men, the total number was only 8000. Therefore, when everyone asked him at the meeting at the end of last year, "Can we attack Ganzhou?", he replied:

"The Ganzhou garrison, Ma (Kun)'s brigade, is estimated to have 6,000 men, and the local guard regiment 2,000 men, for a total of over 8,000 men. If there is time and Chiang Kai-shek does not send reinforcements, it can be captured." But how many Red Army troops participated in this battle?

光是负责主攻的红三军团（包括红7军，红1、红2、红3师）就有将近15000人!!再加上负责在南边打击粤军援军的红4军、作为机动部队的红3军、红12军和红16军;

负责警戒会昌、寻乌和广东东江一带的赣南独立第2师、独立第3师、独立第6师、赣东独立第4师和湘赣独立第1师全军加起来有六七万人!

Sixty thousand against three thousand, with some of the 68th Regiment even leaning towards the Red Army. With such a huge advantage, how could they lose?

what?

Local militia?

Well, although those people are staunch anti-communists, the Red Army still doesn't know what their combat effectiveness is.

I'm afraid I'll have to run away as soon as a fight breaks out, right? Peng Shuai was a little annoyed.

With the army already on the march and Ganzhou already closing down, suddenly intelligence arrived from the temporary central government saying there were 18000 people inside? Wasn't this interfering with the army's operations?

Even with this thought, Peng Shuai didn't dare to completely ignore it. He immediately sent someone to contact the hidden personnel in Ganzhou City to confirm the situation of the troops inside. In order to verify the accuracy of the intelligence, he even took the risk of having someone contact several hidden personnel.

On the morning of the 4th, just before Ganzhou discovered the arrival of the Red Army's large force and began full alert, the latest intelligence finally came back: the enemy's 12th Division 34th Brigade indeed had only 3000 people, but the number of militia forces fleeing from various places had increased in recent days, with a total of about 800 people.

I told you so!

How could the 34th Brigade have 8000 people! That's not even a brigade, it's a full-fledged division!

As for the latter part, Peng Shuai simply ignored it. He ordered a telegram to be sent back to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission:

...It has been verified that the intelligence report of 18000 men was inaccurate. The 34th Brigade indeed consisted of only 3000 men. The number of militia members had increased slightly, but the total strength of the city still did not exceed 9000.

After receiving the news, Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said to the senior leaders of the Soviet Central Committee who had also received the news:

"It seems the intelligence was wrong. Ganzhou still only has those soldiers."

"Yeah, yeah, I was wondering how the 34th Brigade could have so many people. That's complete nonsense."

"That's right, if the 34th Brigade had 8,000 people, it wouldn't be us who would be unable to sit still, but Baldy Chiang!" "Hahahahahaha..."

Everyone was relaxed, except for General Zhu, who frowned and said, "Even so, I'm still more worried about the north."

"North? You mean...Chen Cheng's troops?"

"Yes, there are only two local divisions under Chen Yi guarding there. If they go south..." "No."

Wu Hao waved his hand confidently:

"I know Chiang Kai-shek very well. This time we attacked Ganzhou and fought against the Yunnan Army, which mainly affected the sphere of influence of the Guangdong Army. He just wanted to use us to wipe out the local troops. How could he possibly support us?" This was also the idea of ​​the vast majority of people in the Provisional Central Committee and the Soviet Central Committee, including Marshal Peng.

Ganzhou belongs to the sphere of influence of Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the tungsten mine in Dayu in the south of Ganzhou is its important economic resource. Once the Red Army attacks Ganzhou, Guangdong and Guangxi in the south will inevitably come to its aid; but it is different in the north.

Chiang Kai-shek had just returned to power, the Battle of Shanghai had just broken out, and with the Yunnan and Guangdong armies being attacked, he certainly wouldn't interfere, and might even try to cause trouble for the local forces. This is why the Red Army deployed its most elite, main force, the 4th Red Army, in the south to deal with the relatively weaker Guangdong Army, while the north was left with only two local independent divisions armed with spears and darts. General Zhu insisted:

"What if Chen Cheng really comes to support us?" "No."

"I mean what if." "No what if!"

At this time, Xiang Yin also refuted:

"Didn't we discuss this last month? Even if this situation occurs, with their speed, they would have captured Ganzhou by then." "What if Ganzhou was not captured by then? Ganzhou City is surrounded by water on three sides, with high walls and strong defenses. It is not so easy to capture..." No matter how the battle-hardened General Zhu emphasized the various dangers in this operation, no one paid attention or adopted his advice.

Unless there were fundamental errors in the intelligence, the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area would absolutely not change its previous decision.

Because that was an act against the Central Committee and the Communist International.

Wu Hao was even more aware that the situation of the Soviet Central Bureau, especially some people, was extremely difficult;

Therefore, this battle must be fought, whether we win or lose. If we win, the worst that can happen is that we will be put on ice.

If you lose the fight, your situation may have a chance to change;

Only by not fighting this battle will the existing "localists" be completely destroyed.

Zhu's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only sigh inwardly and suppress his worries. When the Shanghai Provisional Central Committee received the relevant information of "intelligence errors", they were overjoyed.

At this point, they no longer cared about their previous statement that "sending intelligence was unsafe and we must be cautious," and triumphantly and quickly issued an order to the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area: "Move forward quickly! Take Ganzhou!"

By the way, historically, because Ganzhou had been planned as the "future capital", in order to maintain the integrity of the city walls and the city, Bo Gu and others initially rejected the Red Seventh Army's request to use tunnel explosives to break into the city; later, when the Red Army was unable to capture the sturdy city walls, they reluctantly issued the outrageous order of "keeping the city walls as intact as possible and not blowing them up too hard."

In short, just as in history, the Battle of Ganzhou started as scheduled on February 4.

However, few people realized that a major crisis was being ignored.

That is, after the Central Plains War ended at the end of 130, Chiang Kai-shek spent a year rectifying his internal affairs, and once again resigned and returned to power to prove his control over the Kuomintang. Now, it was time for his biggest enemy to die. This time, he would not cause trouble for the local factions (on the surface), at least not watch the Red Army expand.

And somewhere in Shanghai, someone is facing a major crisis in their life: "You are definitely not her! She can't be this old!"

The tactical figure that finally collapsed from that world looked down at its full chest, squinted its eyes and smiled, then clenched its fists uncontrollably: "Commander, it looks like your nose needs some repair..."

"Hey? Wait! I was wrong! !"

"Boom!"

057 New T-dolls are here! Let's get busy!

Late at night on February 4, in a hotel room in the French Concession, a man squatted on the ground with his nose covered and a distorted expression.

Although the person who beat him did not use much strength and seemed to be joking, he was still a mortal after all, so it still hurt.

Of course, Mark didn't complain, after all, he was the one who brought this upon himself.

Teasing 45 Steel... Steel... Upright 45 about her breast size and then taking a nose-bone-shattering punch is pretty standard stuff.

The only problem is...

"...Did you change your body before you came here? 45?"

"Of course. It's already 2082. Otherwise, do you think my old DSI8 body could withstand the tremendous pressure of the collapse reaction?"

The gray-haired tactical figure carrying a submachine gun spun around, her black skirt fluttering, and then she pointed at her head:

"To adapt to this mission, my memory and appearance remained unchanged, but my entire body was redesigned. For example, my hair and pupils are now color-changing." "Lie."

"Um?"

"You've definitely changed your appearance, but the biggest improvement is definitely your breasts..."

"..."
