"It's difficult. It is said that the infantry of this missile is carried, and at least 4 soldiers can move a set of anti-tank missile system and missiles. Look there," the commander pointed to the left rear of his turret, where the steel bars looked very new , obviously replaced, and the edges are slightly concave. "On March 3, while my tank was on duty at the defensive position, a missile flew over and hit there. There was a loud bang with an echo. The next morning, we found that one side of the cage had blown out. There was a big hole, and thank goodness the missile jet just left a deep, sunken imprint on the side of the turret, otherwise we might have been done."

Tokyo.

"For the sudden situation in Taiwan, I am afraid that our existing army is powerless."

United Nations Commander Clark said.

After he signed the armistice agreement, he inspected a round of US troops stationed in South Korea, had a meeting with Syngman Rhee, and had just returned to Tokyo from Busan.

Of course, during the daytime on April 4, when Clark was still inspecting the western front, he knew about the sudden fighting in Taiwan, but he knew that he knew, and Clark was unable to make any effective troop deployment.

"The 8 divisions stationed in South Korea are all in a state of extreme fatigue and need to rest urgently. They must rest in place for at least a month." Clark told Charles Willoughby of the Intelligence Command. The system has disclosed. The 36 US troops in South Korea are not only exhausted, but also fearful of war. As far as I know, since the end of 1952, the frontline troops have resisted the order to carry out active offensives, so that our active counterattacks in recent months have been requests or They coerced the South Korean Army. If they are immediately prepared to be transferred to Taiwan to fight the Chinese army again, and they are still in China’s home field, these army officers and soldiers will probably go crazy.”

"Then the 31st Division in Japan can still be used," said Charles Willoughby.

"That's right! The 31st Division is fine. You can throw this division to Taiwan. But I think the Ministry of Defense has considered the consequences of doing so. Ike...Mr. President, stop struggling and prepare to seek a political solution to the Taiwan issue."

Chapter 51, do you also think it's time to negotiate?

"President Li, are you not at the presidential palace tonight?"

The Chief of Naval Intelligence found a chance to be alone with Li Zongren, and after saluting, he reported to work as normal, but said in a low voice.

Li Zongren nodded.

"Then let's blow it up tonight. Just take away the personal items you want to keep in the residence."

After the Director of Intelligence finished speaking, he saluted again and left.

Li Zongren didn't keep a diary, so he went to the presidential palace and asked the secretary to pack some commemorative items away from his place, and that's it.

Taiwan in 1953 was like a pond that had dried up to the point where there was only a small puddle of water left. A large number of senior KMT officials who had fled to Taiwan from the mainland were huddled in the puddle.Li Zongren brought the Annan army back to "restore", which made the big fish in the puddle jump wildly again, but now not only the puddle is about to dry up, but even the sky above is covered by a cover, making it impossible to jump away.

Chen Cheng was detained on charges of embezzling US aid supplies.Xue Yue was detained.

After getting the news, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen rejoiced that they went to the United States after leaving the mainland.

When Tang Enbo heard that Li Zongren came back to seize power, he vomited blood and was bedridden. After investigation by the intelligence agency, he really had a stomach problem and had to undergo surgery.

Yan Xishan, the leader of the warlords of the Jin Dynasty, continued to serve as his senior minister in the presidential palace.

When Taiyuan was about to be liberated, there was still one last plane at Taiyuan Airport that could fly to Taiwan.Naturally, Yan Xishan, with the blood of Shanxi merchants flowing in his veins, filled the plane with gold, silver and US dollars. The cabin was heavy, and with himself, the plane was fully loaded.As for his hard-core generals and staff, including his fifth sister, each of them distributed a poison capsule, and then threw them all in Taiyuan.

When he landed in Taiwan, Yan Xishan served as the Minister of Defense for a while, but none of his team members came, and the people in Taiwan who were alone in Taiwan spoke little, and it was not long before he was dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek as a senior minister of the presidential palace without real power, and he had no relationship with the center of power since then.

No right is actually a trivial matter.The big thing is that the gold and silver that Yan Xishan brought over were taken by Chiang Kai-shek.As I said just now, his team was left in Taiyuan, and now he is a polished commander. Chiang Kai-shek did not pinch him casually.So Yan Xishan spared no expense to transport a plane of gold, silver and dollars to the treasury to stabilize the finances, and he will not be able to become a rich man who does not contend with the world for the rest of his life.

"I have nothing to do these years. I write memoirs in my spare time." Yan Xishan said to Li Zongren, "I have been busy for most of my life, and I should calm down and write books." The manuscripts of these two little books are finished."

"Bochuan has rich experience and extraordinary knowledge. It is a good thing to write a book in his later years." Li Zongren said. Silver, in fact, is the central bank borrowing private deposits to get through the financial emergency. Passbooks or IOUs are required. Now, I have asked the central bank to reissue the passbook. The central bank has already left the emergency period...Bo Chuan can go to the bank to withdraw money at any time. "

"Oh?!" Yan Xishan's eyes lit up, "Mr. Delin, no, President Li, thank you very much."

Li Zongren smiled: "Brother Bo Chuan, you don't have to be so polite. You have been a colleague of the party and the country for decades."

"I'd better be my presidential adviser. It's good to chat with old friends when I have time." Both Yan Xishan and Li Zongren have turned against Chiang, and they have a little common ground, but after all, one is a warlord of the Jin Dynasty and the other is a warlord. The Guangxi family is not in the same system.

Li Zongren continued to chat with Xishan Caimi Yan about the past more than ten years ago. In fact, he wanted to see how the presidential palace was blown up.What's annoying is that the director of intelligence didn't tell him the exact time of the bombing, because the director of intelligence didn't know it himself.

Yan Xishan said goodbye and left, and Xu Yongchang came.

Xu Yongchang is now also the Minister of the Presidential Office.This Chiang Kai-shek's presidential senior management group is really full of big names.There is no other reason, the rank of the senior minister is falsely high, there is no power at all, and he is confined in Taipei and cannot go out at will. It is just used to deal with the big bosses who refused to accept Chiang Kai-shek when they were in the mainland.

The first-rank general of the national army, the president of the Army University, and one of the four giants of the Military Commission during the Anti-Japanese War, who accepted the surrender of the Japanese government on the battleship "Missouri" on behalf of the Chinese government, had a high reputation and had no relationship with the Jin Dynasty. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek had to let him stand aside.

"Brother Delin, with all due respect, it may not be wise for you to bring troops back to rule the Republic of China." Xu Yongchang's first words were after the greetings.

"Is it because the Republic of China is in danger and the building is about to collapse?"

"Not only is the building about to collapse, the Republic of China is now a dead body. What the People's Liberation Army in the south is doing is nothing more than nailing nails to the coffin of the Republic of China. The Republic of China has already There is no hope of a comeback." Xu Yongchang said, "You are retreating the soldiers and civilians of Taiwan Island. Where are you retreating to? Maybe you will retreat to Okinawa and become an orphan overseas. But have you ever thought about it, Okinawa? It is the land of Japan—put aside the disputes over Ryukyu and Okinawa in history, at least for now, it belongs to Japan in terms of international law. Is it good to go to Japan, which we defeated, and live under the fence? I think it is better than being in the United States. What about the apartment?"

After being silent for a while, Xu Yongchang said to himself again: "You can move to Okinawa, but don't move me there. I will stay in Taipei and wait for the PLA to come. When they came, they shot me down It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you arrest me and go to jail, anyway, I'm quite old, so it doesn't matter."

"Boom!" "Boom!"

An explosion occurred hundreds of meters away.After the flash, it took two seconds for the sound of the explosion to come. The buildings in downtown Taipei reflected the sound waves, and the reverberation made the sound even louder. Both Li Zongren and Xu Shichang felt pain in their eardrums.

"It seems that the Presidential Palace was bombed!" Xu Yongchang exclaimed, "It was just the Tamsui Estuary that raised the air defense alarm. Why was Taipei bombed? Brother Delin, luckily you were not inside, so you escaped the disaster!"

Li Zongren was as shocked as Xu Yongchang.When he was talking, he was also looking at the presidential palace hundreds of meters away from the corner of his eye, so he could see it more clearly than Xu Yongchang.

The explosion started from his bedroom in the presidential palace.

The bombs of the People's Liberation Army flew dozens of kilometers in the sky, and got into the bedroom where he stayed in the presidential palace...

"General Xu," Li Zongren said with a trembling tone, "You have been paying attention to the Korean Peninsula War. When the government asked to send troops to North Korea, you submitted a letter of recommendation. You should have heard that the commander of the First U.S. Cavalry Division was killed by the Communist Army last year. Killed. The American division commander hid in an air-raid shelter during the war. The CCP fired two smart bombs in a row. The first bomb collapsed the door of the air-raid shelter, and the second flew along the collapsed door into the depths of the air-raid shelter. Killed the US division commander. I saw the bomb that bombed the presidential palace just now, and it flew towards my bedroom."

Xu Yongchang looked at Li Zongren.

"Now, the communist army is using this thing to frighten me." Li Zongren said a semantic pun.

"Brother Delin! I think the communist army spared the attack. They didn't want to kill you!" Xu Yongchang understood Li Zongren's words according to his own meaning, "Are there still few communist spies in Taipei now? President There are also communist spies in the government! But you waited until you left the presidential palace to launch the bomb. What does that mean? It means that the communist army is waiting for you to express your position! If there is a chance to talk, don’t care what the conditions are, talk to them again , Don’t be the King of Okinawa!”

What Li Zongren thought in his heart was, "Fuck, this is the communist army warning me not to play tricks, and finish the matter obediently according to the previous agreement." With Fu Zuoyi's correct attitude, there is room for negotiation."

"General Xu, I was acting president at the time of the Kuomintang-Communist peace talks at the beginning of the 38th year of the Republic of China. You strongly opposed the talks. In July 38th of the Republic of China, when Suiyuan was about to revolt, you were the one who flew to Suiyuan to persuade the local national army not to vote. Communist Party, of course Suiyuan voted in the end." Li Zongren said, "After a few years, the situation in Taiwan today, do you think we should negotiate with the Communist Party?"

"Those two times, I was acting under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek..." Xu Yongchang got stuck here, and then sighed, "Don't talk, don't talk, it's a mess in the past. Anyway, handing over Taipei will at least I can save myself from death. Moreover, I may be able to exchange some of the things in my hand with the Communist Party and get a lenient treatment."

……

On the evening of April 4, the 14th Army had captured the urban area north of Yanyan Creek in Tainan City, and the remnants of the 20st Army of the Taiwan Army retreated to the south of Yanyan Creek in Tainan City.

During the daytime on April 4, the artificial pier at the Taixi landing site transported the 14th Army ashore. Since the artificial pier was put into use, our army’s transportation capacity has reached 27 troops per day—not lightly armed combat troops that have thrown away heavy equipment, but All troops including artillery supplies.

The three armies of the 9th Corps are now on the island, but tonight's battle is between the 20th Army and the 26th Army.

Judging from the battles in the past three days, the combat power of the reorganized national army on Taiwan Island has surpassed the five major main forces of the year. From the perspective of absolute combat power, it can be regarded as the pinnacle of the national army's combat power... But it has experienced the Korean battlefield and is comprehensive. The 9th Corps who has changed his costume is still a younger brother.

The 26th Division of the 76th Army, the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion of the 78th Amphibious Mechanized Division, and the 233rd Regiment dispatched in the dark, making a large-scale detour around the east of Tainan City and facing south.

The plain on the west side of Taiwan Island is the widest in Chiayi City, with a length of nearly 50 kilometers. It narrows in Tainan City, with only about 20 kilometers left.Turning around from the east of Tainan City and avoiding the sight of the national army, it is actually marching in hilly areas.Fortunately, the hills with small slopes are not difficult for PT-76, and they can climb over them directly. Although the "Big Buffalo" armored vehicle is a little slower, it can also roll over.

On the afternoon of April 4, Kaohsiung's 14rd Army reinforced two regiments to Tainan City.Now there are remnants of the 3st Army in Tainan City, with about one division left; there is a coastal fortress brigade—the fortress artillery has not yet arrived, and this brigade can only be used as light infantry, but it has been trained in advance and has better discipline; Two infantry regiments of the 1th Division of the 3rd Army. The nighttime detour of the 8th Army was to cut off the connection between Tainan and Kaohsiung, and prevent the 26rd Army of the National Army from continuing to reinforce Tainan.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on April 15th, the detour troops arrived at Longqi Mountain in the southeast of Tainan City, and then turned west.At 0:1 in the morning, the PT-30 and the big buffalo armored vehicles directly attacked, defeating a small number of defenders in Guiren Township, Rende Township, and Tainan Airport in turn. The follow-up troops of the 76th Division of the 26th Army followed up and controlled the captured areas.At 76 o'clock in the morning, Tainan Airport was controlled.At 3:3 in the morning, the 30th Army, which ran a semicircle around Tainan City, saw the coastline again.Since then, the national army in Tainan City has been completely isolated.
