Guo Zhuocheng, Zhou Huelai, and Mr. Zhu all preferred the first option because they still hoped that the training of the three main forces would not be interrupted and that they would form an army and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In this way, the Red Army will always be invincible. Even if the Japanese invaders suddenly attack China, the Red Army can immediately put its three main forces into battle to give the Japanese a head-on attack.
Mao Rundong thought it was better to adopt the second option. He believes that adopting the second option can bring at least three benefits.
The first benefit is to shorten the time to unify the country. As long as the Japanese devils do not invade comprehensively, the Red Army that has unified the country can concentrate the national strength to prepare for war, and it will be easier to defeat the Japanese devils. Even if the Japanese take action in advance, the Red Army can still resist and prepare for war. The Japanese are not omnipotent. They still need to prepare for war and recruit troops. This gives us time. If necessary, we can temporarily abandon some places for us. The three main players strive for time for training. Besides, our armored forces and air force do not need to attack when annihilating the warlord group headed by Zhang Xueliang and Yan Xishan. They can continue to train at home and keep secrets. They can only wait until they fight the Japanese devils. They are a sap.
The second advantage is that we can try to avoid the possible surrender of local warlords to the enemy. According to what happened in history, during China's Anti-Japanese War, many local and miscellaneous troops surrendered to the Japanese invaders and helped the Japanese invaders attack China and bully the Chinese people. If our Red Army first attacks surrounding areas, such as northwest, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia and other places, and then sweeps across North China and other places. Those warlords are not fools either. Of course they knew we were going to deal with them next. Knowing that they are unable to resist us, as long as the Japanese take the opportunity to send troops, these scum may begin to defect to the Japanese invaders in large numbers as in history, and there may even be cases where warlords invite the Japanese to move in.
"If we quickly eliminate China's most powerful warlords and give them no time to surrender, small warlords in other places will have no chance even if they want to surrender to the Japanese invaders. Because they have been cut off from contact with the Japanese invaders by us, even if there are warlords who surrender to the Japanese invaders, it can be ignored. It cannot become a climate.
The third advantage is that as long as we win, we can capture tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of prisoners. These prisoners are all able-bodied laborers. Even if we imprison them, we can at least reduce the number of them turning to the Japanese. They bully our people. What's more, we can transform some of them into our warriors, who can go on the battlefield without too much training. Part of it can be converted into a construction army. We need people to build roads, we need people to build railways, and we need people to build airports. These are all good labor forces.
We can also force them to learn technology. Force them to read. After driving away the Japanese devils, the country was reunified. These prisoners can become very good workers after they are released.
Mao Rundong finally gave a reason that made Guo Zhuocheng excited: "If we occupy the coastal areas, we can immediately use the captured Central Military Navy to form our own navy, and we can immediately transport warships from the time and space of 1993 for training. A large part of future wars will be naval battles, and whoever is the overlord of the sea will be the world¡¯s powerful country!¡±
After reading the film materials brought by Guo Zhuocheng, Mao Rundong and others quickly paid attention to the importance of the ocean, and their vision was no longer limited to land.
In the end, the four people unanimously agreed on the second plan, to hit the snake seven inches away! No war is 100% safe, and there are risks to some extent. Even if you adopt the first option, there is no guarantee that problems will not arise.

While the Red Army was mobilizing troops, collecting grain and grass, and preparing ammunition, various warlords in Nanjing were sitting on the ground dividing the spoils. They happily and fiercely divided up the land and assets left behind after driving away Chiang Kai-shek, and carefully thought about how to obtain them. Greater interests, how to get a higher position in the governments of Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang.
After some haggling, countless negotiations on the table and secret transactions, the list of government agencies was finally announced seven days after the capture of Nanjing:
Yan Xishan ascended to the throne of the president, but he still had a sense of consciousness and proclaimed himself acting president to show his temporary intention; Zhang Xueliang was the commander-in-chief of the national navy, land and air force; Feng Yuxiang was the minister of defense; and Li Zongren was the vice president. ; Bai Chongxi is the Chief of Staff of the National Armed Forces; He Jian is the Commander-in-Chief of the Army; Chen Cheng is the Commander of the Navy; Gu Zhutong is the Commander of the Air Force
At the same time, the new government publicly wanted Chiang Kai-shek nationwide and required all armed forces across the country to be loyal to the new government.
As for the Red Army, this puppet government is somewhat rational and has given the Red Army a special preferential policy, that is, the new government is willing to negotiate with the leaders of the Red Army and is willing to provide the Red Army with benefits on the premise that the Red Army recognizes the legitimacy of the new government. -The military has a certain status,The entire Red Army can be transformed into the National Defense Force, and the top leaders of the Red Army can hold certain positions in the army and local government. But they must come up with a plan to accept the reorganization of government troops within three months, otherwise the new government will concentrate the entire country's efforts on clearing Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
However, their victory was not brilliant. Instead, there were many discordant voices. On the day they announced their organization, Chiang Kai-shek issued a public statement in front of reporters in Hong Kong, condemning Yan Xishan and others for seizing power as an illegal coup. He and The Central Military Forces he leads will never recognize this illegal government. Chiang Kai-shek also advised these people to stop at the brink immediately and not to lead them into a dead end because of greed. The only way out for them is to surrender immediately and hand over power.
Jiang Jingshi also vowed to lead the Central Military Army to conduct the Northern Expedition again to capture these wall-jumping clowns and hold them on public trial.
Chen Cheng also publicly announced his refusal to serve as the naval commander of the puppet government in Hong Kong. He vowed to continue to follow President Chiang in the crusade against rebellion, and he would definitely bury those careerists.
Another general of Chiang Kai-shek, Gu Zhutong, did not appear in public, but was interviewed by reporters privately, saying that China's air force is currently weak and funds for the purchase of fighter jets have been delayed. Facing the Red Army's divinely assisted weapons upgrade, the government army should concentrate its limited funds and use them wisely. Now the weapons and equipment of the Red Army have reached or even exceeded those of the government army. The only way for the government army to surpass the Red Army is to equip more fighter planes. As long as there is a strong air force, the Red Army is not scary and can If they are successfully eliminated, their artillery will never reach the sky.
Although Gu Zhutong¡¯s words did not say whether he supported Yan Xishan¡¯s new government, the meaning of his words clearly meant that he parted ways with Chiang Kai-shek. He began to accept the air force commander given to him by the new government and began to seriously plan for the future of the air force.
This made Jiang Jingshi so angry that he cursed Gu Zhutong, a rebellious boy, for several hours in the room. He also broke two high-end glasses. If he hadn't been living in an apartment due to financial difficulties, he would have broken several more.
Another discordant voice is that of He Jian, the leader of the Hunan Army. This army commander who was appointed by the Yan Xishan government refused to take up the position. He was neither as clear-cut as Chen Cheng nor as secretive as Gu Zhutong. Instead, he said that the current national affairs were difficult and that I, He, could not see the situation clearly and could only wait on the sidelines for a period of time. After the political situation stabilized, I would consider whether to work for the country or retire. field. The essence is to read the songbook while riding a donkey - wait and see.
Regarding the fall of Chiang Kai-shek and the coming to power of Yan Xishan and others, the international community's reactions were varied. The United States and Britain claimed that Yan Xishan and others were an illegal coup. They claimed that they would never recognize the new government and imposed economic sanctions on the new government. Domestic weapons were delivered to Yan Xishan's army. They will join forces with Western countries to fight against this illegal institution that came to power, recognize Chiang Kai-shek's government as always, and support Chiang Kai-shek's army to regain power.
Japan and France publicly recognize and support Yan Xishan¡¯s government and are willing to establish a deeper relationship with the new government and provide them with the help they can, but at the same time require the new government to protect their respective interests in China.
The city of Nanjing was filled with smoke and smoke, and various politicians and warlords appeared on stage. They fought against each other in the political arena, or waved flags and shouted everywhere. Some especially ambitious people began to connect and instigate everywhere, showing off their magical powers for their own interests. The various local forces were not idle either. Some warlords shouted in support of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek and shouted that they would send troops to attack Yan Xishan. Others shouted to obey Yan Xishan's leadership and asked the new government to provide economic support immediately. and arms aid¡
Among these noisy warlords, the most prominent one is Ma Bufang, the leader of the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai. He actually sent troops for Chiang Kai-shek and attacked Suiyuan, the home base of the Northwest Army, causing a melee between the two armies
On September 12, 1936, the First Army of the Chinese Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army led by General Lin suddenly appeared in Yichang, Hubei!
Yichang "controls Bashu at the top and Jingxiang at the bottom", and is known as "the gateway to the Three Gorges and the throat of Sichuan and Hubei". In ancient times, this place was called Yiling, and it has always been an important material distribution center and transportation hub in western Hubei, northwestern Hunan, and eastern Sichuan (Chongqing). It can be said that whoever controls Yichang controls the Three Gorges and controls the initiative.
If the Red Army controls Yichang, the Red Army's forces can attack the Central Plains from here at any time, and the Central Plains will open up to the Red Army.
If the Kuomintang troops control Yichang, they can go up the Yangtze River to harass Chongqing at any time, and attack and harass the hinterland of the Red Army, which will cause great trouble to the Red Army.
It can be said that Yichang is a battleground for military strategists.
