The development of things was always unexpected.
Jiang Li originally planned to let the Red Army take root in central Sichuan and occupy as much territory in Sichuan as possible.
In the future, it would be much more convenient to coordinate the resources of Sichuan during the war of resistance against Japan.
However, we did not expect that the Red Army was also full of conflicts.
The Central Committee of the Red Army, which was traveling through mountains and rivers, fell out with Zhang Guotao's department.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China led its troops to continue heading north.
Through a road cleared by the 15th Route Army, the Central Red Army was able to successfully reach the northern Shaanxi area.
Zhang Guotao also led his troops south to Sichuan and Kangxi and chose to establish a new central government in Sichuan and Kangxi.
However, although Zhang Guotao wanted to split, his force was still a part of the Red Army, and it was still a force hostile to the warlords in central Sichuan and Nanjing.
At this time, Nanjing also showed extraordinary means.
In order to muddy the waters in the northwest, it gradually moved Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army westward to suppress the Communists.
The main force of the Northeastern Army was gradually transferred away from the Hebei territory, and at the same time, the strength of the Red Army and the Northeastern Army was consumed in the war to suppress the Communists.
The Northeastern Army's half-fighting performance once again disappointed Chairman Chiang.
Not only did it fail to annihilate the Red Army's effective forces, but it suffered heavy losses in the battles of Laoshan and Zhiluo Town.
The disastrous defeat suffered in the battle against the Red Army shocked Nanjing.
At the same time, the Japanese army stepped up its invasion of Suiyuan.
Under the control of the Kwantung Army, the Mongolian military government established in Huade organized two armies and nine divisions, with a total strength of nearly 15,000 people, and divided them to attack Jining. , Baotou and Hetao areas.
At this time, the Kuomintang had begun to become tougher in dealing with relations with Japan.
Chairman Chiang ordered Yan Xishan to send troops to aid Sui.
However, Yan Xishan was worried that after sending troops to support Sui, the Japanese army would take the opportunity to attack Shanxi, or the Red Army would reach northern Shaanxi for the Eastern Expedition.
He was still hesitant, so he asked the Central Army for reinforcements.
The situation was already in chaos due to the Red Army moving north and the Northeast Army moving west to the northwest.
At this time, there were Japanese and puppet troops disrupting the situation in Suiyuan.
The Northeast Army, which was originally transferred to fight the Red Army, has been in decline in the past two years.
I have suffered the bitter consequences of losing my hometown.
Looked down upon by local armies.
This time, the Japanese and puppet troops invaded Suiyuan again.
Northeastern generals from Zhang Xueliang onwards asked for battle to aid Suiyuan in fighting the Japanese invasion.
Although his attitude toward Japan became tougher, Chairman Chiang's focus at this time was still to eliminate the Central Red Army heading north.
The situation in the northwest was already in chaos.
Chairman Chiang had to go to Luoyang himself and mobilize five divisions.
The Central Army entered Shanxi, firstly to prepare to annihilate the Central Red Army heading north.
The second is to deter the turbulent Northeastern Army, and the third is to prepare to support the Sui War in the critical situation.
"Yang Hucheng has a close relationship with Jiang Li.
Recently, Zhang Xueliang has been very dissatisfied with the central government's continued suppression of the Communist Party and did not agree with the Northeast Army's policy of marching north to Suizhou to fight the war.
It is too dangerous for the commission to go to Xi'an at this time."
Liu Zhi disagreed with Chairman Chiang's risk-taking.
After seeing Chairman Chiang's plan, he directly opposed it, "A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.
How can he be involved in danger alone if he is responsible for the overall situation?"
"If Zhang Hanqing had the courage, he would not abandon the Northeast.
Yang Hucheng is now submissive to the central government.
If it weren't for Jiang Li behind him, he would have been subdued by the central government long ago.
Besides, I went to Xi'an at Zhang Hanqing's invitation.
Northeastern Army They didn't dare to take action because they had betrayed their relationship."
Chairman Jiang waved his hand.

However, the plan could never keep up with the changes.
With a sudden thunder, Chen Jitang of the Guangdong faction and Li Zongren of the Guangxi faction canceled contact.
Guangdong and Guangxi established a military committee to fight against Japan and save the country.
In the name of resisting Japan and saving the country, they resisted the Nanjing forces of Chairman Chiang who had been deliberately trying to eliminate the forces of Guangdong and Guangxi. .
"Coupled with the problem of Suiyuan, I am afraid that Nanjing is also in a state of distress now and has no energy to take care of the Central Red Army in northern Shaanxi."
The trends in the southwest soon came into the northwest's sight, and Feng Zhanhai sent the central government to ask the northwest to send troops to support Sui.
The message was handed to Jiang Lidao.
"Let's talk about the situation in Suiyuan.
If we send troops, how much strength should we have?"
"Looking from the map, Suiyuan has remote terrain and inconvenient transportation.
It is difficult for the main force of the Kwantung Army to reach it for a while.
Therefore, the Japanese and puppet troops Li Shouxin and Wang Ying were encouraged to invade Suiyuan.
For the northwest, the same problem exists, so it is not recommended to send Excessive troops will only increase consumption, and Suiyuan will become Ningxia The barrier to the east cannot easily fall into the hands of the Japanese, otherwise it will pose a great threat to the Helan Mountain Industrial Base.
The staff believes that an infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade are sufficient to support Fu Zuoyi's operations," Wang Tiehan said, "Yang Yaofeng is relatively familiar with Suiyuan. , you can let him lead.”
"Yang Yaofeng is now the division commander and deputy commander of the main division.
It is inappropriate for him to take the position.
We must also give the people below some opportunities to experience."
Jiang Li waved his hand, "There are many people in our army who started their careers in Suiyuan.
Just pick someone you can fight, Li Shouxin, Wang Ying's puppet army is not an elite Japanese army, don't worry too much, on the contrary, the current situation in Sichuan The situation is relatively tense.
By using the opportunity to pursue and suppress the Red Army, our Chairman Chiang has extended his influence to the southwest, including Sichuan.
Even if we cannot fully control it, we must not let Nanjing control the 7th and 11th Divisions.
They were stationed in Guangyuan and Pingwu respectively, and merged into Jiang Wenhao's 3rd Army.
Shi Yi, who suppressed bandits, advanced to Deyang and Chuankang. " In this way, the 3rd Army has 4 divisions and 1 artillery brigade, which is enough to launch a medium-sized campaign.
In the past two years, due to abundant funds, the northwest has been undergoing rapid military expansion, especially The Army, as the backbone force, is particularly fast.
In the past, Jiang Li would never have dared to put all four main divisions in northern Sichuan when the situation in the northwest was so tense, and the road infrastructure could not support such a large-scale operation.
But in the few years since Ma Zhuang pacified northern Sichuan, the railway to Guangyuan, Qingchuan, and Pingwu highways have been built one after another, and the original constraints no longer exist.
"Commander, what should we do with the Northern Shaanxi Red Army now?
Our relationship with the Northern Shaanxi Red Army is too close now.
Letting them enter Northern Shaanxi has already made Nanjing quite dissatisfied.
If cooperation with the Northern Shaanxi Red Army leads to the east It would be a loss if the passage is cut off."
After a while, Feng Zhanhai said with a frown.
"The Germans are not so reliable now.
They have probably signed some kind of agreement with the Japanese and have begun to withdraw some of their personnel.
Some key aspects of the cooperation that they have been carrying out in the past have now been suspended.
I believe it will not be long before all cooperation The projects will all be terminated and Germany will withdraw all its researchers.”
"Why is this happening?"
This was the first time that several senior officials of the 15th Route Army present heard Jiang Li say this, and their expressions changed.
After all, Germany played a crucial role in the growth of the 15th Route Army.
Allies that had been very close before were now suddenly withdrawing, which made these people feel more or less uncomfortable
