Two Models: Jiang vs. MaoQuestion 5

Strategy of bowling (target at some key pin/player—from most difficult to the easiest) This is similar to a combination shot in playing table pool or a bank shot in playing basketball. It is a geometrical move in nature in which a player targets at some key pin and use it as a leverage to hit other pins indirectly.

Expansive Mode (Mao’s model: laying a siege/circling/surrounding key cities with the countryside-- from easiest to the most difficult). It is comparable to the flanking marketing warfare strategies.

Target at a key pin

You don’t have and you can’t anyway to hit every pin; but by hitting some key pins, those pins will hit other pins for you;

This is similar to a combination shot in playing table pool.

Let’s Fight JapaneseInstead of Fighting Each Other

When, on Dec. 12, 1936, Chiang visited the headquarters of Zhang and Yang at Xi’an to promote a new anticommunist campaign, he was arrested by Zhang’s troops; the high officials accompanying Chiang were arrested by Yang’s troops. Motivated by their concern for their homelands, then occupied or threatened by the Japanese, they demanded the cessation of the civil war between Nationalists and communists, the establishment of a national united front to oppose the Japanese, and the reorganization of the Nationalist government. In full agreement with the rebels’ requests, the Chinese communists, represented by Zhou Enlai, joined the negotiations.

night military drills However, on the night of July 7, 1937, night military drills

were carried out without prior notice, greatly alarming the local Chinese forces. Chinese troops, thinking an attack was underway, fired a few ineffectual rifle shots, leading to a brief exchange of fire at approximately 23:00.

When a Japanese soldier failed to return to his post, his company commander, Major Kiyonao Ichiki, thought that the Chinese had captured him, and reported the incident to his regimental commander, Colonel Renya Mutaguchi. Chinese regimental commander Ji Xingwen (219th Regiment, 37th Division, 29th Route Army) received a telephone message from the Japanese demanding permission to enter Wanping to search for the missing soldier.

During this period, hundreds of thousands of civilians were murdered and 20,000 women were raped by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.
