Chapter 12 2. After the Chongqing negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek issued another secret order

After 43 days of arduous negotiations, on October 10, representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party signed the "Summary of the Talks between the Government and the Representatives of the Communist Party of China" (also known as the "Double Ten Agreement").After signing, Mao Zedong, who was on the second floor of Guiyuan, went downstairs and shook hands with all those present. The next day, Mao Zedong was accompanied by Zhang Zhizhong and flew back to Yan'an from Chongqing. At the airport, he was welcomed by more than 20,000 party, government, military and civilians.Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei stayed in Chongqing and continued to negotiate with the Kuomintang on unresolved issues.

Chiang Kai-shek had no sincerity in peace negotiations at all. He only regarded peace negotiations as a temporary means to buy time and mobilize troops to prepare for civil war.Therefore, after the "October 10th Agreement" was signed, the flames of the civil war not only did not cease, but intensified.Let us take a look at the different faces of Chiang Kai-shek before and after the Chongqing negotiations! On September 9, Chiang Kai-shek wrote in his diary: Today is the anniversary of the first revolutionary uprising in Guangzhou, and the Japanese surrender ceremony in Nanjing is being held today, which is actually a day of glory and victory for our party for fifty years.However, the lost ground in the Northeast is still in the hands of the Russian army, and all important areas in Xinjiang are also Russian puppets.The Harbin bandits started to rebel... and it turned into a precarious situation.Moreover, the Outer Mongolia issue has not been resolved.The national humiliation is heavy, and it can be said that the situation since the Anti-Japanese War has not been worse than today.The old man is proud, but Yu is extremely sad and humiliated, woohoo!Although the war of resistance was won, the revolution was not successful.If the policies of the Third International are not defeated and the Communist Party is not cleared, the revolution will not be successful day by day. ("Diary of Chiang Kai-shek", September 9, 1945)

On September 17, Chiang Kai-shek reissued the "Bandit Suppression Handbook" that he had handcrafted during the ten-year civil war to the interior in the form of an order, instructing all troops to "actually follow" in the "suppression of communist bandits." On September 20, Chiang Kai-shek sent another top-secret telegram to the commanders-in-chief of the Kuomintang theaters.The telegram said: The current negotiation with the traitor party is to spy on its requirements and goals, so as to delay the time and ease the international attention, so that the national army can seize the opportunity and quickly recover the central city of the occupied area.After the national army controls all the strategic strongholds and lines of communication, and the generals are completely surrendered, then they will conduct specific negotiations with the treacherous party in a favorable and superior military situation.If he cannot yield under the principle of the unity of military orders and government orders, he will be wiped out with bandits. (Quoted from Volume 3 of "Military Collection of the Chinese People's Liberation Army")

On October 13, the fourth day after the signing of the "Double Ten Agreement", Chiang Kai-shek issued another murderous secret order to the commanders-in-chief of each theater: The suppression of the Communist Party is the foundation of the happiness of the people, based on the spirit of the previous war of resistance, in accordance with the "Bandit Suppression Handbook" formulated by Chiang Kai-shek, to supervise and encourage subordinates, to work hard to carry out the suppression, and to complete the task quickly.Those who have contributed to the country will be rewarded, and those who delay and cause delays must be punished by law enforcement.It is imperative that all officers and soldiers of the anti-bandit and communist forces under Xizhuan order obey it!

In order to step up preparations for the civil war, from November 9th to 11th, the military committee of the Kuomintang government held a military meeting, and important generals from all over the country went to Chongqing to participate in the meeting.After several days of discussion and study, the meeting decided on the combat plan for attacking the liberated areas. The meeting decided to defeat the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army within six months, and then carry out the suppression in different areas, with a view to "eradicating banditry."This plan is divided into three steps: the first step is to control northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui and Shandong, and open up Jinpu Road and Pinghan Road; Occupy Chahar and Suiyuan.
