The third bloody war of resistance Chapter 8 The tricky way Section 3 Restart (7)
"Personnel rights are one of the symbols of national sovereignty and cannot be changed by others' opinions. The reorganized army should be dominated by me, and the opinions of friendly countries are only for participation; students can be shallow and cannot bear the heavy responsibility, and Director Xu can be outstanding. The listed organization is reasonable. Moreover, the troops he trained have been more than a year, and the replacement of people in the middle will cause shock to the troops, which will be unfavorable to the training...,0"
"What does Zhuang Wenjie want to do, he doesn't plan to come back?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little amused and laughed. Zhuang Jihua's telegram was so loud that he raised the problem to national sovereignty. It seemed that after he accepted this appointment, it became a loss of national sovereignty. Anyway, I won't come back...
Lin Wei laughed in fear. Zhuang Jihua pointed at the bald man and scolded the monk. Chiang Kai-shek replaced him, because the reason was that his allies were alleged. Today he was talking about Xu Tingyao openly, and wasn't he complaining about himself in secret. But now the problem is that Xu Tingyao learned that Chiang Kai-shek was going to replace him, so he took the initiative to submit his resignation, and then left Mianzhu and returned to Chengdu. "Committee, I think I'd better go to Xi'an and talk to him."
"Don't" Chen Bulei expressed his objection. In his opinion, Zhuang Jihua was just expressing his dissatisfaction and was too accommodating, and it would be even harder to control in the future: "General Zhang Zizhong's squad is about to return to Chongqing. The Chairman has decided to go to welcome the spirit and hold a grand memorial service at the same time. Officials at all levels of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the base camp must attend. Notify the Cultural Revolution of the day and he will come back. At that time, the Chairman will talk to him again."
As Chen Bulei said, Chiang Kai-shek's tense face relaxed, and finally a faint smile appeared. Chen Bulei's proposal was very suitable. Whether he was a dedicated person or another telegram, Chiang Kai-shek thought it was inappropriate. "This is good, this is good, Mo Wen will do as Mr. Bulei's wishes."
Zhang Zizhong's conjunction was retrieved by soldiers of the 33rd Army. The Japanese erected a wooden monument at the place where Zhang Zizhong was killed and wrote a letter to the tomb of General Zhang Zizhong. In order to boost the morale of the military and the people, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Five War Zone to send Zhang Zizhong back to Chongqing.
With this reason, Zhuang Jihua could no longer stay in Xi'an. He flew back to Chongqing before the New Year. After getting off the plane, what surprised him was that Lin Wei was actually waiting for him at the airport.
"Brother Wei Wen, how dare you trouble your grand ceremony? Zhuang was extremely frightened." Zhuang Jihua was really surprised. Lin Wei, who is Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, has a high position and a powerful position. Not to mention Zhuang Jihua, except Chiang Kai-shek, even if He Yingqin and Chen Cheng came back from another place, he had never heard of him coming to the airport to welcome him. This time he actually came to press him.
"If I don't come, your brother probably won't know where to hide," Lin Wei smiled, and then said solemnly: "It was my wife who asked me to come. During the Cultural Revolution, the wife prepared a family dinner in Huangshan to wash away your dust.
Zhuang Jihua was stunned again. This was an unprecedented favor. Why? Lin Wei looked at him and shook his head slightly: "Brother, why are you still stunned? Let's go. If you don't come back, your wife may be going to Xi'an."
"My wife held a banquet, and I was extremely worried. Brother Wei Wen Jihua hesitated and said, "I still don't understand."
When he left Chongqing, all the political groups in Chongqing knew that Zhuang Jihua was demoted, but just a few months later, Soong Mei-ling actually held a banquet in Huangshan waiting for him. Although Zhuang Jihua secretly made some moves, he did not expect that the contrast was so big and came so quickly. "The Cultural Revolution is an unprecedented honor and favor. Things have passed. My wife is back. Don't be too arrogant anymore." Lin Wei's words are full of hints.
Zhuang Jihua shook his head helplessly: "Brother Weiwen is such a bad word. I am not using my character. I want to stay in Chongqing. There are many things that are difficult to deal with. Besides, someone is upset when I see me. If I am not here, it will be easier for others to do things."
Lin Wei laughed, and the two of them chatted while walking. When they arrived at the car, Lin Lue and A opened the car door. The two men's car, Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu and other escorts got on the car behind. They immediately formed a convoy, drove out of the airport and drove towards Huangshan. "When will General Zhang arrive in Chongqing?" Zhuang Jihua looked at the street scene outside the window and asked.
"There are two days left, and his wife, Ms. Li Minhui, left." Lin Wei sighed. After Zhang Zizhong's wife learned that Zhang Zizhong had died, she went on a hunger strike for seven days and committed suicide. After this incident, the whole country caused a sensation. Carrying Zhang Zizhong's one-piece carriage and ships went up the river. People from all over the country spontaneously held public memorial service. All the passing cities were lowered half of the flag. Everyone brought their own green gauze and white flowers to worship on the roadside.
"General Zhang is the most selfless soldier I have ever met. Most of the generals of the party and state have the intention to preserve their strength, but I have not seen it in General Xunchen. The two Jinpu Road garrison General Xunchen was responsible for the most dangerous tasks, and there was no complaint. His sacrifice was a huge loss to our army."
Zhuang Jihua spoke slowly. He worked with Zhang Zizhong in the Fifth War Zone for two years. During the battle of Linyi, it was his first time to take over Zhang Zizhong. In that battle, Zhang Ezhong commanded the 59th Army and resisted the attacks of the 16th Division and the 5th Division alone, creating conditions for the great victory in Linyi. After the war, he was awarded the first meritorious service. Later, in the Second Battle of Jinpu Road, Zhang Zizhong once again undertakes the most dangerous task of cutting off the rear. He visited the front line several times. Under his leadership, the 59th Army was among all the troops, with the most officers on the front line, the most casualties, and the most tenacious.
Zhang Zizhong's sacrifice was also a huge blow to Zhuang Jihua. In the plan he designed, Zhang Zizhong was the target he wanted to strive for. Zhang Zizhong was a general of the Northwest Army. Although he was not the most determined generals to fight against Chiang, after the Central Plains War, he rejected Chiang Kai-shek's check and led his army to Shanxi, and eventually followed Song Zheyuan, which shows that he did not believe in Chiang Kai-shek and could develop it.
"Yes, if it weren't for Zhang Xiuchen this time, the Nancheng of the Fifth War Zone would have suffered greater losses." Lin Wei sighed. The investigation team sent by the Military Commission to the Fifth War Zone to investigate. The result was not yet released, but the details of the matter had been reported back.
The Japanese army's raid had a purpose. The goal was to first defeat the 33rd Army in Suixian area, and then attack Zaoyang, attracting the main force of the fifth war zone to attack and consume the strength of the fifth war zone. After clearing the threat from the northern line, they concentrated their forces westward to attack Yichang, and then threatened Chongqing.
After the end of the Wuhan Battle, the entire theater did not conduct large-scale operations for two years, and Anan Weiji's attack focus was always on Changsha. Li Zongren's focus was not on military affairs, but focused on social reform. The social reforms in the theater were vigorously carried out, with rent reductions, interest rate reductions, reserves, and social organizations all started to grow.
After Anan Weiji was defeated in Changsha, Li Zongren did not believe that he would attack the Fifth War Zone. In Li Zongren's view, the Fifth War Zone was stronger than the Ninth War Zone, so he did not get enough vigilance when the Japanese army was mobilized in Wuhan.
After being attacked, the entire southern line was in chaos and the troops were dispersed one after another. In this critical situation, Zhang Zizhong decisively ordered an attack to attack and led the troops to launch a counterattack. This move saved the entire southern line. He ordered the three divisions of the 59th Army to fight back separately, and personally led the headquarters' direct regiment and the secret service regiment to cross the Xujiahe River, break into the Japanese retreat, annihilated a Japanese baggage corps, and defeated two brigades. The Japanese army was forced to transfer the attacking troops back and encircle and annihilate Zhang Zizhong's troops. Zhang Zizhong gave up the retreat when he had the opportunity to retreat, dragged the Japanese army to fight tenaciously in Hedong for three days.
In the past three days, the Second Army rushed to Nancheng from Tongbai area, and the 36th Army in western Henan also moved south. At this time, Li Zongren had already determined the purpose of the Japanese army. Not only did he not dispatch troops from western Hubei, but he strengthened the defense in western Hubei. After seeing this, Ananwei immediately withdrew his troops.
After listening to Lin Wei's introduction, Zhuang Jihua was filmed 31. He didn't want to comment on Li Zongren's mistakes. Although he really wanted to return to the fifth zone, he didn't want to add insults now. "Wencui, what do you think about it after being in the northwest for so long?" Lin Wei asked.
Zhuang Jiehua looked up at Lin Luo, feeling that it seemed to have another meaning: "What? Brother Wei Wen is interesting."
Lin Wei nodded, Zhuang Jihua did not ask in detail, and thought about it and said: "The situation in the northwest is complicated, so there is no need to say that Xinjiang is weak. The central control of Gansu and Qinghai is weak. Erma has great influence in these two provinces. Moreover, the people in the northwest are strong and ethnic groups are numerous. It is different from the customs of the mainland. Brother Weiwen, you want to go to the northwest. I suggest you have a good relationship with Erma, rely on Brother Shoushan's troops to gradually transfer the Erma troops to the front-line battlefield. There will be no social reform for the time being, control Gansu, and do not touch Qinghai. Keep Erma's personnel in the local area and strengthen party affairs construction."
Lin Wei silently recorded that Chiang Kai-shek had already expressed the intention of scattering the northwest issue, and he also intended to serve as the commander of the Eighth War Zone. These words of Zhuang Jihua are different from the results of his research, but there is a very important point that they all value Gansu. Controlling Gansu solved most of the problems in the northwest. Another key point in Zhuang Jihua's speech is the second horse, which is the most powerful among the local forces in the northwest. They are rooted in the Hui people in the northwest, and it is very difficult to eliminate their power.
The Central Committee has been planning to the northwest in recent years. Zhu Shaoliang served as the chairman of Gansu Province after the Central Plains War, laying a certain foundation for the Central Committee to resolve the northwest problems. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhu Shaoliang led his army to participate in the Battle of Songhu. After the Battle of Songhu, Zhu Jieliang served as the commander of the Eighth War Zone. Last year, Gu Zhenglun resumed as the chairman of Gansu Province.
Gu Zhenglun was embarrassed in the defense of Nanjing and had no choice but to lie dormant in Guizhou. Last year, through He Yingqin, he pleaded with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was about to weaken Zhuang Jihua's power, so he followed the flow and appointed him as the chairman of Gansu Province to strengthen the central government's control over Gansu. "If Brother Wei Wen is going to serve in the Eighth War Zone, I suggest you rectify the cadre team in the northwest, Zhu Shaoliang..." Zhuang Jihua shook his head, showing a disdainful look.
