Chapter 8 The Bewildering Ways Section 2 Travel to Northern Shaanxi (5)
In the military salute of Erzhen, Zhuang Jihua was so busy that his brain almost made him feel like a female. Who is the one who is a martial artist? The old senior, the elder among the heroes, was to be placed in other dynasties, and he was even a king. He was really flattered to salute him like this.
"The younger generation learned from Zhuang Jihua to salute General Zhu." Zhuang Jihua sincerely saluted Zhu.
"General Zhuang, you can see it outside." Zhu said with a smile: "From the military rank, you are the general, and I am nothing. In terms of position, you are the deputy chief of staff, and I am the commander of the Yicha War Zone. It is your subordinate, so I salute you as a natural person."
"General Zhu's words are wrong. When he was fighting against Yuan Huguo, you were the major general brigade commander of the Fengfeng. At that time, I was still a young young man and didn't know anything." Xiao Zhuang Jihua said: "The Chairman appointed you as the commander of the Yicha War Zone, but did not give him military rank. This is very inappropriate. According to the organization, you should at least be a first-level general. As for "you don't know yet, I am just an idle person now. This deputy chief of staff is just to make everyone lose face, so don't take it too seriously."
"Hahaha." Zhu laughed loudly after hearing this: "Let's do this, let's not talk about the commander, the chief of staff, just call me Yujie, I call you the Cultural Revolution."
"Then don't blame the younger generation for being rude." Zhuang Jihua smiled, and Zhu De stared at him happily: "This is not like you, I heard that you have no scruples in front of the chairman.
"Isn't this Huangshan Mountain?" Zhuang Jihua gradually calmed down. He deliberately looked at Xu Qian who was standing by without saying a word. However, he knew that this situation must not be provided by him. He left too early, so he was not clear about these situations.
Zhu. He didn't seem to see him turning around and walking down the grape trellis, and said as he walked: "The War of Resistance begins, the Cultural Revolution, the Cultural Revolution, the First Battle in Nanjing, the Next Battle in Linyi, the Third Battle in Zaoyang, the Fourth Battle in Laxu, the Annihilation of hundreds of thousands of enemies, the setback of the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, and the morale of the military and civilians in our county. In the Cultural Revolution, you are a hero of the country and nation."
"Commander-in-Chief Zhu is over-reputable." Zhuang Jihua was very modest. In front of the old predecessors, he really did not dare to be too arrogant: "The Pingxingguan Battle is the first victory of the War of Resistance. It is this victory that made our people realize that we can defeat the Japanese. I believe that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army is very important. I think the War of Resistance should be the unity of the battlefield behind enemy lines and the front battlefield. The cooperation between the two battlefields is the shortcut to defeating the Japanese army."
While speaking, the three of them came under the grape trellis, and Zhu nodded and said, "I appreciate General Zhuang's view. One-sided exaggeration of the frontal battlefield and one-sided exaggeration of the battlefield behind enemy lines are all wrong. The purpose of Japanese invasion is to destroy China. Only when the whole nation unites the war of resistance can we have hope."
After saying that, he reached out to ask Zhuang Jihua to sit down. There were two tables under the grape trellis. Director Jin asked Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu to sit on another table.
There were several cold dishes on the table. After the three of them sat down, Zhu picked up the wine pot and put it on Zhuang Jihua and Xu Qianman. Then he smiled and said, "Cultural Revolution, I have heard that you are a huge amount. In terms of alcohol tolerance, Xiangqian and I are not your opponents.
"I have heard that when I was protecting, the boss was stationed in Huzhou, which was a wine city in Sichuan, where three-year-old children could drink two taels." Zhuang Jihua gradually let go and started to joke.
"What you are talking about is Huzhou, I am from Sichuan, but not from Huzhou." Zhu De picked up the wine glass: "Four" has been known as the country of Tianfu since ancient times, but "The people are suffering. I want to thank you. You are from Xijiang. But you have benefited us Sichuan people a lot. I wish you a cup."
"President Zhu's words are heavy." Zhuang Jihua did not serve the cup. He sighed a little heavy: "There have been wars for years and the people are burdened with heavy burdens. Those of us who hold power are at fault. The taxes in some counties in Sichuan have been received for more than 60 years of the Republic of China, and we have long been ineligible to collect taxes from the people. So my greatest hope is that after driving away the Japanese, the country can enter the stage of peaceful development, and the two parties work together to build a country peacefully."
This is the first time that Zhuang Jihua has revealed his true thoughts on the direction of China after the war in the core circle. Xu Xiangqian said lightly: "Cultural Revolution, it's a pity that your party has not had such ideas as you. Do you know? During your war in Myanmar, the Chairman once again issued a manual for bandit suppression, and issued secret orders to the War One, War Two and the Sulu War Zone to restrict our party's activities."
Zhuang Jihua was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek would do such a thing as giving someone a handle. He looked at Xu Xiangqian with some doubts: "No, the two-party agreement has been reached less than two years. The Chairman would not do such a stupid thing, right?"
"Silly?" Xu Xiangqian repeated meaningfully, Zhuang Jihua looked innocent and puzzled: "Of course it's a stupid thing. You have the advantage of the War I and War II zone. The Sulu War Zone is actually a Shandong region. In this area, we have a slight advantage, but we do not have an absolute advantage. Moreover, after Matsui Ishione took office, he stepped up the encirclement and suppression of the base areas of our two parties, and they both had to survive. Guan Lin fought against Li Xianzhou and Yu Xuezhong, and he did not have the energy to take action against the party. Since the order could not be implemented, why should he issue such an order? Take a step back and say that even if he gets some areas, "Yebu lost more points. Zong Jin is not worth the loss. I doubt it is because of the reason."
"Haha" Zhu shook his head regretfully and said: "Cultural Revolution, it seems that you don't know your principal well enough, but it's nothing. We hope to fight against Japan together. We are not afraid of friction. Comrade 0 said it well, only by struggle can we make progress."
Zhuang Jihua sighed, feeling extremely disappointed. The relationship between the two parties has always been full of distrust. Since he was given to the Yicha War Zone, his strength has developed greatly. The Kuomintang has been greatly weakened in both party affairs and administration in Chahar, Hebei Province. Especially in Chahar, the Kuomintang's strength was originally very weak, but now it has no name cover, and the development of the concave power has aroused the fear of Chiang Kai-shek and veterans in the party.
The shop brought two pots of steaming dishes with me, and Zhu Dena said, "This is our specialty of northern Shaanxi, donkey soup, come and try it."
As he said that, he picked up a slow-headed film and put it in a bowl. Xu Xiangqian also smiled and said, "Cultural Revolution, you are eating mutton soup buns in Xi'an, try our donkey soup buns."
Zhuang Jihua had eaten mutton soaked buns in Xi'an, and only looked at Zhu and Xu Qian's way of eating them. He also tore the steamed buns into the soup. This layer of soup looks nothing but it is actually hot.
The main dish for dinner today was this donkey meat soaking steamed bun. There were three vegetarian dishes on the table, and the best one was fried eggs. None of the three of them were polite. They drank and chatted. The topic quickly changed from politics to military. The three of them were experts.
Zhuang Jihua mentioned the equipment of the Eighth Route Army. Zhu put down his chopsticks and sighed: "We have a lot of equipment, and we can't hide this from you. But these equipment are all disposable. The Chairman will not say it. If you add it once, you will never see it again. Let's talk about the mortar. This thing is good and powerful, but there are not many shells. Comrade Zhang Dehuai called and said that Ye Ting was in the wings, and each mortar only had three shells."
Zhuang Jihua had already expected this situation. In fact, Zhou Ganglai was also prepared for the negotiations. There was one of the two-party treaties that specifically discussed supplements, but obviously, Chiang Kai-shek did not abide by this.
Zhuang Jihua nodded: "What's wrong? I can help." He paused and thought for a while, asking: "Do you have an industry?"
"There is a little bit." Zhu. He did not hide it, but he did not talk in detail about how large the factory was.
Zhuang Jihua waited for a while and saw that he did not continue to speak, and said, "If your industrial capacity is sufficient, I can provide you with some drawings, and I can also buy some equipment for you."
"Oh, that's great." Zhukou was extremely surprised. When the Eighth Route Army entered Taihang Mountain, it began to try to set up an arsenal. Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan spent a lot of energy on this. Now the arsenal in Taihang Mountain has begun to take shape, but its skills are relatively poor and can only load bullets and shells. In addition, there is also a machine. There is also an arsenal in Yan'an. This arsenal is larger in scale, and the machinery and equipment are more mature. But the machinery and equipment are still a fatal shortcoming.
"Cultural Revolution. I'm so grateful for this." Xu Qian also raised his glass of wine in a state of emotion: "This glass of wine must be drunk."
Zhuang Jihua was not polite, and he ran into the two of them. Xu Qian was more active at this time. He wiped the wine at the edge of his mouth and continued: "Whether the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army, we still have a serious problem. We have long-term guerrilla mobile warfare and are not familiar with positional warfare. Weapons and equipment are coming, but how to use weapons reasonably is the most critical."
"Xiangqian said this well," Zhu took over the sentence: "Cultural Revolution, I heard that you are an expert in military training. How did you solve this problem?"
"There is no other way, one will teach and one will train. I suggest you start a teaching team first, and don't distribute weapons equally, and form several fully equipped troops. Summarize while practicing. I know that you are nervous about ammunition, but don't be stingy, it's worth it."
The atmosphere on the table was even more friendly, and the two pots of wine quickly went down, most of which were drunk by Zhuang Jihua, Zhu. Fortunately, his dark face was just a little red. Xu Qian's face was already blushing.
Taking advantage of the wine, Zhuang Jihua began to make a long speech: "From the current situation, Japan's failure is inevitable. The main problem now is that the navy, we do not have a navy, we must wait for the Allies to defeat the Japanese navy at sea before we can completely defeat Japan. Therefore, our counterattack cannot be too early, and it will attract all the Japanese troops to our side too early. This will increase the difficulty of our counterattack; secondly, we must sort out domestic politics and ensure post-war peace."
"In fact, our army has made great progress over the years of the War of Resistance Against Japan. On the contrary, the Japanese army has almost stood still. There has been no progress in both tactics and equipment. The only factor restricting our army's counterattack is logistics."
