流产的毛蒋会晤：1942-1943年国共关系再考察

An Abortive Mao Zedong-Chiang Kai-shek Meeting:Re-examination to the Guomindang-CCP Relations from 1942 to 1943

抗日战争进入相持阶段以后,国共关系逐步由合作走向摩擦,前后经历过三次"国民党反共高潮":第一次是1939年12月爆发的山西新军事件;第二次是1941年1月的皖南事变;第三次是1943年5月,国民党准备闪击延安。中共党史著作对此多有叙述,然而往往没有注意到,在第二次和第三次"反共高潮"前后两年多期间,国共关系一度相当缓和,且有过一段较为密切的接触,特别是1942年这一年,蒋介石主动提出要与毛泽东会晤。为此毛泽东多次致电在重庆的周恩来,希望面对蒋介石会商国共关系,后因周恩来的反对,而改派林彪到重庆见蒋介石。最终双方因差距过大,谈判不了了之。此后不久,随着共产国际的解散,国共双方又展开了新一轮的对抗。

After the Anti-Japanese War entered the stage of stalemate,the Guomindang-CCP relations gradually changed from cooperation to friction,and experienced the Guomindang's three anti-Communist campaigns;firstly,Shanxi New Army Incident occurred in December 1939;secondly,Southern Anhwei Incident in January 1941;thirdly,the Guomindang's preparation to strike Yan'an in May 1943.Though the CCP's party history books have many depictions to these incidents,they scarcely notice that in more than two years between the second and third anti-Communist campaigns,the GuomindangCCP relations were in ease for a time,and the two parties even had closed contacts,and particularly in 1942 Chiang Kaishek initiatively offered to meet Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong sent many telegrams to Zhou Enlai in Chongqing to talk about the matter,expecting to meet Chiang Kai-shek to discuss the Guomindang-CCP relations.Because of Zhou Enlai's objection,Mao Zedong sent Lin Biao to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek.In the end,because the expectations of the two parties were sharply different,the negotiation concluded without concrete results.Soon afterwards,with the dissolution of the Comintern,the Guomindang and the CCP began a new round of confrontations.
