The Spring Festival in three to five years was one of the most unpleasant Spring Festivals that Chiang Kai-shek had.

Since Jingdezhen was besieged by the Red Army on New Year's Eve, Chiang Kai-shek has been restless. Although he prepared a comprehensive emergency plan this time, he was always unable to calm down.

It was seven days before Chiang Kai-shek realized the final result of his crushing defeat in Shangrao and Jingdezhen. When the servant put the battle report in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he overturned everything on his desk to the ground.

In just five days, he lost two important towns in Jiangxi, 100,000 troops were destroyed, and a large amount of military and strategic materials were obtained by the Red Army. This result was impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to accept.

Chiang Kai-shek locked himself in the room alone and didn't see anyone for three days, even his lover Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek did not see him.

Just when people around him were worried about him, on the morning of the fourth day, Chiang Kai-shek walked out of the room with a cold face.

Several senior military meetings were held one after another to review the reasons for the failure of the Shangjing Battle and analyze the current situation in the southeast.

The results of the review believe that the current central army is too dispersed, which leads to the serious shortage of troops invested in southern Anhui, which is the root of the failure. The Red Army's cunning and deceitful search for Huaizhou troops and extremely strong military capabilities are also important reasons.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek decided to postpone the Central Army's plan to enter Guangxi, Yunnan and Sichuan, and decided to implement a key encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in southern Anhui.

Chiang Kai-shek decided to mobilize forty main divisions of the Central Army, plus local troops, a total of 700,000 troops. He used the strategy of encircling and suppressing the Central Soviet Area for the fifth time, and implemented a three-point military and seven-point political model of blocking the fortress. After a long-term encirclement and suppression of the Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Red Army, advancing layer by layer, and finally, he suppressed the Southern Anhui Red Army in a narrow area, and then used heavy troops to press the border, forcing the main force of the Southern Anhui Red Army to fight with its own side, and in this way, he solved the Southeast Red Army in one fell swoop.

To this end, Chiang Kai-shek asked the Military Commission to formulate a strategy for nine months to wipe out the Red Army in Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and divide the extermination of the Red Army in Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi border areas into three stages.

The first stage is the key defense stage, which lasts for three months. At this stage, the main central cities around Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi will be strengthened so that these cities will be strengthened to ensure the security of the core financial resources and prevent the Red Army from invading.

The second stage is the strategic siege stage, which lasts for three months. Through the first stage of training and mobilization of troops, a strategic siege of the Red Army was formed, a deep trench and solid foundation plan was implemented, and a strict blockade of the Red Army's border areas in Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Province was implemented. Steady progress, squeezing the strategic space of the Red Army bit by bit, compressing the strategic resources of the Red Army, and weakening the Red Army's war potential.

The third stage is the strategic decisive battle stage, which lasts for three months. After the first two stages, the Red Army greatly weakened its strength, the Kuomintang army mobilized 30 main divisions, divided into four groups, and attacked the core areas of the Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui in one fell swoop. They eroded the Red Army's territory little by little, forcing them to fight the National Army, and annihilated them on the spot in one fell swoop.

Chiang Kai-shek also re-examined his encirclement and suppression strategy, and at the same time felt that his military strength was insufficient, so he stepped up the process of introducing equipment from Germany.

In fact, since the failure of the Tanjiaqiao battle, Chiang Kai-shek has already started to speed up the introduction of equipment and he has paid a greater price for this.

However, the large amount of equipment in the Kuomintang army was greatly advanced in history, and the scale of equipment greatly exceeded the original historical scale.

As a result, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang army completed the equipment of a total of 60 divisions, rather than when searching for the later generations of Huaizhou, the Kuomintang completed the reorganization plan of twenty divisions before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

This also brought a new pattern to the later War of Resistance, of course this is all about later.

It has to be said that Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression plan was quite thorough and secure, but unfortunately he met the opponent Xunhuaizhou who came to later generations. Therefore, from the beginning, his encirclement and suppression was destined to fail.

Wang Yaowu and Li Xianxia returned to Nanjing on February 15th. Immediately, they were controlled by the Kuomintang Military Law Department. In the Military Law Department, the two truthfully reported the details of their release by the Red Army, and conveyed the Red Army's intention to use senior Red Army generals to exchange prisoners of war, and submitted a handwritten letter written by Xun Huaizhou to Chiang Kai-shek.

This time the two of them went to Nanjing, which attracted great attention from all the forces of the Kuomintang. You should know that at this stage, they can be a high-ranking official in the Kuomintang troops, mostly people with backgrounds and status, and the forces behind them are even more complicated.

When these forces learned that the Red Army in southern Anhui was willing to release these personnel by exchanging prisoners of war, they immediately started to move from multiple sources, and who would not want to save their relatives and friends from the fire?

After hearing the report from the Military Law Department that Wang Yaowu and Li Xianxia were back, and brought back the handwritten letter from the Supreme Commander of the Southern Anhui Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek specially arranged to meet them.

Seeing the handwritten letter from Xun Huaizhou they brought back, Chiang Kai-shek felt as if he had cut the ground with a knife. Xun Huaizhou was very polite in the letter and said tactfully that at present, at the critical moment of the survival of Chinese nations, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should work together to face the most urgent crisis of the Chinese nation.

The two parties should resolve their past grudges and jointly deal with the upcoming Japanese Empire's full invasion of China. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, they should solve the problem in a way that is most suitable for the rise and prosperity of the Chinese nation.

In the letter, Xun Huaizhou said very politely that the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army went north to fight against Japan, and prepared to release a group of middle and senior generals of the Kuomintang army in the previous confrontations, totaling more than 300 people.

At the same time, the Chinese Democratic Party soldiers were released willing to return to the National Army, attacking more than 40,000 (including the wounded).

It is hoped that more than 100 middle and senior Red Army generals were detained in the Kuomintang Nanchang and other places, and more than 9,000 Red Army soldiers (including wounded) were detained in prison camps in various places.

After the letter, the long list of captives of senior Kuomintang generals and prisoners was attached, and a list of people detained by the Kuomintang in the middle and senior Red Army generals were also attached.

The list of middle and senior Red Army generals was detained by the Kuomintang, but the central government finally collected the land through special channels. This list made the negotiations on the Xunhuaizhou area very proactive.

Chiang Kai-shek felt extremely depressed when he looked at the attachment of the Chinese Democratic Party army's long captured list of middle and senior generals.

These people were all cultivated by themselves. Unexpectedly, after several wars, they all threw away their armor and eventually became prisoners of the Red Army.

This is really a shame to the Party and the country. I really want to kill them immediately. How could I still be willing to exchange them with Red Army prisoners of war?

However, the Red Army's move was really vicious. By the suggestion of exchanging more for less, he was in a passive position at once.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was very reluctant, he had to worry about the forces and energy behind the captives represented by his side.

Besides, he can't let his subordinates feel disappointed. If he doesn't accept the Red Army's proposal to exchange prisoners of war, what will his subordinates think? Will anyone work hard for him in the future?

Therefore, although Chiang Kai-shek was very angry, he still instructed the Military Commission to study the matter of having sex with the Red Army for prisoners of war.

Chiang Kai-shek also specially instructed his confidant Chen Cheng to personally form a negotiation team for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to call the prisoners of war to go to southern Anhui to negotiate with the Red Army.

Chen Cheng received Chiang Kai-shek's decree, but he also thanked Chiang Kai-shek for his kindness, because many of the prisoners of war were senior generals of his civil engineering department. Therefore, if he personally participated in the negotiations and took these people back, these people would of course thank him.

At the same time, these prisoners of war represent the territorial forces behind them will also give themselves a good impression. Although such a thing seems to be aggrieved, it is actually a great opportunity to win people's hearts.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Cheng received Chiang Kai-shek's decree, he immediately took action and brought a relatively powerful Kuomintang military delegation. With the accompanying and guidance of Wang Yaowu, he arrived in She County, southern Anhui on February 19. Of course, there must be many enemy special forces hidden in it, which is a matter of course.

Xunhuaizhou personally received Chen Cheng in She County and specially arranged for more than an hour of talks with Chen Cheng.

During the talks, Xun Huaizhou mainly exchanged some views on the upcoming War of Resistance Against Japan with Chen Cheng, and also put forward many issues and strategies that the Kuomintang army should pay attention to in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Although Chen Cheng did not speak much, he obviously had surprise and admiration from his eyes.

Xun Huaizhou knew that his current position was completely opposite to Chen Cheng and the others, so the other party might not be able to listen much. However, Xun Huaizhou knew that Chen Cheng was also a thoughtful person, and he believed that his words would touch Chen Cheng.

After Xunhuaizhou received Chen Cheng and had some exchanges with Chen Cheng, the two sides immediately started substantial negotiations.

The actual representatives of the Red Army sent out were Fang Zhimin and Wang Ruchi. The highest representative of the Kuomintang was Chen Cheng, the civil engineering tycoon.

After three days of arduous negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus and the negotiations made special progress.

The Third Red Army agreed to release more than 300 generals at the Kuomintang level or above where they were captured, and more than 40,000 Kuomintang prisoners were not reorganized into the Red Army sequence.

The Kuomintang agreed to release more than 100 Red Army generals and more than 9,000 Red Army soldiers detained in Jiangxi, Hunan and other places.

The two sides agreed that starting at the end of February, the prisoners of war would be exchanged in three batches in Panyang County, Jiangxi Province. The prisoners of war exchange would end before March 15.

Chen Cheng returned with this plan on the 25th to ask Chiang Kai-shek for instructions, and Xun Huaizhou immediately reported the details of the negotiations to the Military Commission and the Chairman.

Immediately, the Third Red Army received instructions from the Military Commission and the Chairman and agreed to the Third Red Army to exchange prisoners of war according to the negotiation agreement.
