Yang Yongtai came up from below and saw him, and said: Don’t worry, I will pass on your request to the Military Service Council..."

The two students waved their arms excitedly when they heard this. The slogans on and off the stage rang out. Yang Yongtai whispered beside Chiang Ching-kuo: "The people's hearts are available."

Chiang Ching-kuo nodded slightly. After the meeting, he immediately rushed to Huangshan official residence and reported to Chiang Kai-shek today. At the same time, he made suggestions: "Father, the ancients said that those who follow it will prosper and rebellion will perish. We should follow the will of the people. There are hundreds of thousands of students of appropriate age across the country. Once recruiting soldiers, hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be established. This can not only meet the needs of the army, but also meet the wishes of the students. The two are adapted. In addition, I suggest that the provisions on the student status are made, and any mother who participates in the war will retain their academic status and can return to school to complete their studies after the war."

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied. He looked at Chiang Ching-kuo with admiration. Chiang Ching-kuo's suggestion was very perfect, especially in the last point, which relieved most students' worries.

"Okay, just do what you said. You mobilize the representatives of the Three Youth League to submit a motion at the political meeting." After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he called Chen Bulei: "Mr. Bulei, inform General Zhang Zizhong of the funeral committee to extend the public memorial service for three days."

Chiang Ching-kuo immediately understood that Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts were more comprehensive than him. In the next three days, the members of the Three Youth League, members of the Farmers' Association, representatives of the trade union, and party departments at all levels came to Lingxian to take oaths one by one under the leadership of the General Association of Salvation. A wave of joining the army and going to the front line was set off in the entire rear.

The Political Association announced the fastest management measures for the academic records of intellectual youth, stipulating that all young students who join the army retain their academic records and can return to school and start studying after the War of Resistance Against Japan.

This regulation was welcomed by all young students, and then a wave of joining the army was set off among young students. From the warm southern Guangdong to the sky and the elegant northwest of camel bells, a group of students walked out of the campus and put on military uniforms. One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood; one hundred thousand young people, one hundred thousand soldiers;

The Military Committee of the National Government established the Intellectual Youth Army Committee, and Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the director of the committee, specializing in the participation of the intellectual youth army. A team of students entered the military camp. After two months, 300,000 intellectual youths joined the army, and the troops needed to reorganize the troops were immediately resolved. Stilwell flew from Myanmar to Chongqing and asked that the group of Chinese soldiers be classified as high-quality among the Chinese soldiers be assigned to the Expeditionary Force. Chiang Kai-shek allocated 100,000 people to the Expeditionary Force, and the remaining more than 200,000 were allocated to the Mechanized Army 50,000, and the remaining Chiang Kai-shek decided to establish the Youth Army.

The total strength of the Youth Army was 150,000, and the entire army was reorganized into ten divisions. Luo Zhuoying was appointed as the training director of the Youth Army and Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed as the director of the Political Department of the Youth Army. The Fifth War Zone was assigned to four divisions, four divisions in the Ninth War Zone, and two divisions in the Eighth War Zone. The Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone were established to be trained sub-inspectioned by the Youth Army Headquarters.

After attending Zhang Zizhong's funeral ceremony, Zhuang Jihua went to Mianzhu to inspect the Mechanized Army. The mechanized Army that was being reorganized concentrated the best weapons and equipment in China. The main battle tanks were privately depicted by Ding, including 300 fire tanks and 400 tanks to support firepower. In addition to self-propelled artillery, Chiang Kai-shek even allocated the five rocket artillery battalions directly under the Military Commission to the Mechanized Army's total strength of 60,000 people.

The engine roared on the training ground, dust was flying, gunfire sounds roaring, gunfire filled with smoke, a tank climbed up the hillside flexibly, drove through the single-plank bridge to "boom" a ball of fire broke out, and the shells accurately hit the target in the distance. "No," Zhuang Jihua put down his telescope and said to Xu Tingyao. Xu Tingyao also smiled with satisfaction. Danny, the American consultant next to him, looked expressionless, and several people walked out to cover Zan.

After a while, the tank drove to the outside of the cover, opened the top cover, and crawled out from the inside. This year, the Qing officer jumped out of the tank and ran quickly to Zhuang Jihua. "Report, Major Jiang Weiguo, the battalion commander of the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the Zhongshan Tank Division, came to listen to the order."

Hearing this name, Zhuang Jihua was a little stunned, then looked up and down at Jiang Weiguo. The blue tank soldiers' uniform was a little wrinkled, and the leather hat was tightly held on his head, but this face was very different from Jiang Jingguo, and his expression was also different, and he was even more rebellious. "Major, how do you evaluate your driving skills?" "Excellent." Jiang Weiguo said two words without hesitation: "When Wei Zheng was training in Germany, his driving skills were excellent."

"Well" Zhuang Jihua nodded. With the Germans' stereotypes and seriousness, he could get excellent assessments in the German army. He would not be able to do without some real skills: "How is our tank compared to German tanks?"

"The T34 is an excellent tank, better than all the German tanks I have ever seen. The Ding crew is worse, not as good as the AUAD tank, and even less silly. "The armor is thin, but the firepower is still very weak." Jiang Weiguo replied.

Zhuang Jihua is unpredictable'

Jiang Weiguo's heart tightened. He suddenly realized that Zhuang Jihua did not value his identity. In the past, it was not that there were senior generals who came to Mianzhu to watch. Among them, Chen Cheng, after they saw him, they mostly asked a few random questions and praised them. Today, Zhuang Jihua obviously did not have the same meaning as them.

Jiang Weiguo calmed down slightly, and then shouted: "I think they are not qualified tank soldiers. I have received previous experience in Germany. "German tank soldiers usually have to go to the battlefield for three years to train, and my subordinates have less than a year."

"You are too ideal. We don't have three years. You may go to the battlefield as soon as one year. You can only make up for it with stricter and harder training. How do you evaluate your tactical training?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"So far, we have only conducted offensive tactical training for the Company Group," Jiang Weiguo replied: "Tank soldiers are technical troops, but most of our soldiers are ignorant before joining the army. We have to start from the most basic things, which wastes a lot of our time.

Jiang Weiguo was talking about the truth, which was also the biggest problem for Chinese soldiers. Tanks and rifles were different, and the complexity of operation was completely incomparable. The quality of soldiers became the biggest obstacle to the development of mechanized troops. Zhuang Jihua frowned and thought. After he arrived in Mianzhu, he first spent two major events to listen to reports in the army, and then went to various regiments to visit. He had already gained a considerable understanding of the situation of the troops before he went to the training ground to watch the house.

"Don't complain, soldiers just need to use existing conditions to get profits." Zhuang Jihua's tone became gentle. He turned his head and said to Danny: "General Danny, our situation is different from that of the United States. It is inappropriate to completely apply the US military method."

Danny shrugged: "General Zhuang, I admit what you said, but at this progress, it may take two years of training to be put into actual combat."

"The battlefield is the best training ground." Zhuang Jihua didn't care: "We can't have two years. When the Fifth Army entered the battle in Zaoyang, it only had training for more than a year. This army would definitely fail when it fought with the German army, but we were facing the Japanese."

"We must start the first-level tactical training of the battalion and regiment as soon as possible, and there will be tactical training to cooperate with infantry soldiers.

Zhuang Jihua turned his head and said to Xu Tingyao: "Brother Yuexiang, you don't have much time. When you counterattack, I hope to see the heroic posture of the mechanized army."

Xu Tingyao is respectful from the bottom of his heart, not only for his achievements, but also because he is another person who is proficient in tank combat. As the founder of the Chinese mechanized army, he believes that he is proficient in mechanized army, but the Zaoyang battle still shocked him. He believes that he cannot fight such a battle.

After Qiu Qingquan returned from Zaoyang, he learned in detail about the entire battle process. He was a little confused about how this battle was fought. Qiu Qingquan made a series of paintings, including the formation, combat methods, how to cooperate with the tank column during the entire battle process, how to detour when encountering a blockage, and how to contact during the battle.

What surprised Xu Tingyao was that in previous training, there was no training in this area. With his understanding of Qiu Qingquan, Qiu Qingquan did not know so much about large-scale tank combat. In the face of Xu Tingyao's inquiry, Qiu Qingquan awkwardly admitted that this was Zhuang Jihua's education.

Xu Tingyao was very shocked. Only then did he realize that it was true that Zhuang Jihua studied large-scale tank battles with Guderian in Germany. In the past ten days, Zhuang Jihua's itinerary proved that he was an expert in this field.

When Zhuang Jihua went to the army, the first thing he went to was not the combat troops, but the logistics troops, especially the maintenance company. The biggest trouble in tank combat is logistics. As a machine, tanks are easily damaged. Maintenance is a very important means to ensure combat effectiveness. In addition, it is oil. Tanks are a weapon that consumes a lot of fuel. Without oil, tanks are not as good as machine guns. What is even more annoying is that Ding Lie is a diesel engine and a gasoline engine. The logistics force must prepare two types of oil departments.

"You have already understood our problem," Xu Tingyao said carefully: "There are another 50,000 students and soldiers coming. The chairman asked us to expand to 100,000. These soldiers have not been trained yet. In addition, these 50,000 new recruits and tank armored vehicles, you know our output. Only God knows when the US aid tank will arrive."

The domestic tank production is insufficient, and it takes at least 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles to expand to 100,000 people, which is almost close to the annual output of the entire tank industry. As for the US aid, the Bromine Burmese Highway cut off the Sichuan-Kilometres. The capacity is limited, the artillery machine gun rifles and bullets are all ranked before the tanks, and the number of tanks provided by the United States is relatively small.

"First practice one division, and the remaining division can be a teacher. Some things must be proved and improved on the battlefield," said Zhuang Jihua: "Anyway, in half a year, I will see a mechanized peak that can only go to the battlefield."

Zhuang Jihua's words revealed a strong signal that half a year later, the squadron would start a counterattack, and Danny couldn't help but blink.

Xu Tingyao fell down, and Zhuang Jihua made a furious again: "You should make a plan to divide the entire training into several stages. What are the tasks that should be completed in each stage? Step by step.

"One division should be able to do it." Xu Tingyao finally nodded and promised, "But Wencao, the oil and ammunition used for training should be guaranteed. After the Momian Road was cut off, the oil became more and more tight. At the best time, we could only get 80%. Some even said that we should save oil and not conduct driving training in the end."

"This is absolutely not possible." Zhuang Jihua felt inexplicably successful. He was unable to drive tanks even well, so what else could he fight: "I will report this to the Chairman, what is Hong Junqi or who is it?"

"I won't say who, Wencao, why did the armored troops of the teaching corps lose so quickly? The big reason is that they are not trained enough." Xu Tingyao's tone was full of helplessness. The teaching corps also had an expert army, which was established under the guidance of a German consultant. It was because of insufficient fuel and the driving training was carried out very little. After taking over the Battle of Songhu, the loss was soon completely lost. "I'll guarantee this, General Danny." Zhuang Jihua turned to Danny and said, "You can also urge him."

"Please rest assured General Zhuang, I will not allow this to happen. My only purpose of coming here is to help China establish an armored force." Danny replied without hesitation.

After returning from Mianzhu, Zhuang Jihua wrote a report of tens of thousands of words and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek. In the report, Zhuang Jihua evaluated Xu Tingyao's work and was quite satisfied with his work. However, he believed that Xu Tingyao's best position was the Armored Soldier School. What he lacked was practical experience in large-scale tank combat. The only domestic generals had this experience was Qiu Qingquan, and it was recommended to exchange Qiu Qingquan for Xu Tingyao.

In addition, he made suggestions on the logistics of the Mechanized Army, suggesting that under the Logistics Department, a supply system for the Mechanized Army was established separately to ensure the training of the Mechanized Army.

This report was valued by Chiang Kai-shek. Although he had cut off the power of Zhuang Jihua, Chiang Kai-shek still believed in Zhuang Jihua's ability. He immediately handed Zhuang Jihua's report to He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Hong Junqi, and asked them to evaluate the report.

Of course, He Yingqin and Hong Junqi would not object. Chen Cheng wanted to object, but seeing that Chiang Kai-shek already had the intention to accept it, he no longer objected. The logistics matter was handed over to Hong Junqi, and Qiu Qingquan's suggestion to Xu Tingyao was also accepted.

Before the appointment of Qiu Qingquan was announced, Chiang Kai-shek decided to set up the Hengyang camp to unify and coordinate the command of the troops south of the Yangtze River; set up the Tianshui camp to uniformly command the troops north of the Yangtze River. Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Hengyang camp, and Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Tianshui camp. The commander of the Fifth War Zone was taken over by second-level general Zhuang Jihua. He called for monthly tickets to support!!!
