"I don't give you much time, it will be completed within half a year." Zhuang Jihua ignored Mo Xiya's plea and ordered without any vaguely. Then he stood up: "The army should strengthen its training. After dinner, we go to the Eighth Army. Don't you have a tank regiment? I think their training will be arranged with the Chief of Staff."

Song Xiya blinked his eyes. Zhuang Jihua did not choose the 78th Army, but chose the 8th Army. The purpose was obvious. The 78th Army was expanded from Song Xiya's starting unit, the 36th Division, and he must attach great importance to it. The 8th Army was expanded from the original Tax Police Corps. The first commander Huang Jie and the second commander Zheng Dongguo. After Zheng Dongguo was transferred, he was replaced by Huangpu First Class student Luo Qi.

However, Song Xiya was not worried at all. He was not a good person. In the past two years after the Wuhan Battle, he took advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the army and carried out large-scale rectification of the Eighth Army. He gradually replaced the original officers of the Eighth Army with his old subordinates. All three division commanders were replaced. The division commander of the division was replaced by Hu Jiaji, his old subordinate in the 36th Division, and the division commander of the 40th Division was also replaced by Tang Sanshan, who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu, and the commander of the 95th Division was replaced by Liu Anqi, who was the brigade commander of the 87th Division.

In addition to personnel adjustments, Song Xidan also closely handled the training of the troops, and had to fight and talked repeatedly every day, so he was not worried about Zhuang Jihua going to check, but he was a little confused that Zhuang Jihua had no plans and asked him to build roads again.

"Mengguo, you know me. I don't fully understand the situation in the war zone. Only when you know yourself and your enemy will I formulate a combat plan." Zhuang Jihua seemed to see through Song Xiya's thoughts and explained: "Let's do this, in addition to building roads, you can take out a division to replace the defense zone of the Second Army in the Pyeongchang area, and then investigate the defense line of the Japanese army in Xinyang. But be careful, don't be a wife. After a while, I will ask everyone to meet at the theater headquarters to discuss the next stage of combat plans!-1,

Song Xiya then reluctantly accepted it, and he said: "Okay, it's better than nothing. It's already twelve o'clock. After dinner, we'll go to the Eighth Army."

Zhuang Jihua nodded and walked out of the battle Dong first. Song Xilian led him directly to the cafeteria. The dining room was already open. The cafeteria was not big, and there were seven or eight tables in half of the space. Except for one table, the rest of the table was already full. Only chewing sounds were heard in the dining room. There were also several plates of dishes on the only remaining table. "Stand up and stand at attention."

With the order of the Singxing Officer, everyone immediately stood up and the Singxing Officer ran to Zhuang Jihua: "Report, the communications platoon commander Zan is having a meal, please give me instructions."

"Continue to eat." Zhuang Jihua returned the gift, and the official of the rank of the star agreed loudly, turned around and ordered: "Sit down and Jiyu have a meal."

Zhuang Luohua walked to the table, and the food on the table was full. Tongbai was located in Henan and the food was also in Henan. There were six dishes on the table, and two plates of white flour steamed buns. "Can you eat enough for this little thing?" "Report to the sergeant, you can eat enough for it." A sergeant sitting by the table stood up and replied, holding a half-chewed steamed bun in his hand.

Zhuang Jihua's eyes were on the steamed buns, and the sergeant replied: "You can add the steamed buns if you are not enough, but you can only add them three times."

Song Xiya came over and said with a smile: "My regulations should not exceed ten minutes of meal time. You can add steamed buns, but you can only add three times. But each time you have to have no steamed buns on the plate before adding them, but each time you can only add one steamed bun. Each time you add, you can fill the plate. There are eight tables here, and only seven tables can fill three times. Whoever eats faster can take advantage of it." "Haha, your idea is really good." Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "Do you usually eat here?" "Not here." Song Xiya was very straightforward and did not hide it at all: "We were all guards to take back to eat. Today we were entertaining you."

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything. The food on their table was the same as other tables, and there were six dishes and two plates of steamed buns. Song Xiya smiled and said, "I know your habits and I don't have any special preparations. However, you can eat steamed buns at will." "That's fine, but where is my guard?" "They are outside, don't worry, when they come to me, they won't be hungry." Song Xiya waved his hand carelessly.

The meal was very harmonious. Song Xiya introduced the movement of the army during the Zao Battle some time ago and the social situation of rose grass in Tongbai area.

From Song Xiwei's words, Zhuang Jihua has a great understanding of the social reform in the Tongbai area. The initial reform here was organized by the Tongbai National Rescue Congress. More than a year ago, Deng Yan reached the Five War Zone. He organized a guerrilla cadre training class in Dahe Town, northwest of Tongbai, and began to guide social reform.

Under the guidance of Deng Yanda, Tongbai has developed from the reduction of rent and interest rates to now, and has established a complete reserve system; however, Deng Yanda's arrival made Chiang Kai-shek very alert, and the Three Youth League and the Party Department immediately intervened. "It's lively now. The Three Youth League has Xiao Jiang to support him later, and the Secretary-General Dai Tao does not take the Party Department seriously at all. The Party Department Director Shao Wenxing is a joint general again. With Chen Lifu supporting him, the two fight hard, and Chief Li is very upset about this.

Zhuang Jihua heard it, and Song Xidan told him that in addition to the Central Government in the Fifth War Zone, Chen Lifu also had strict control over the Party headquarters. He had actually thought about the transportation point, but now Xu had not planned to attack the Party headquarters, and there was still an opportunity. Now this opportunity seemed to appear faintly. "Wencui, will you go to see Director Deng?" Song Xidan suddenly became serious.

"No arrangements were made this time." Zhuang Jihua did not directly answer. The degree of cooperation with the third party depends on the degree of their development. More importantly, Chiang Kai-shek still had several concerns about him coming to the Fifth War Zone, one of which was Deng Yanchi. However, with his relationship with Deng Yanda, he would have to meet sooner or later, otherwise it would also arouse Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion.

Song Xiya nodded, showing a look of relief. Zhuang Jihua suddenly understood that Chiang Kai-shek must have given Song Xiwo an order to monitor Deng Yanda's activities in Tongbai. Although he would definitely not be so dedicated with the relationship between Song Xidan and Deng Yanda, he would still do his best in terms of face.

In the next two days, Song Xiwo accompanied Zhuang Jihua to inspect the troops in various units of the 36th Army. Zhuang Jihua's inspection also maintained the Zhuang style. He randomly drew a cause in the Eighth Army and conducted an emergency gathering and training at night. The result was very satisfying. The entire regiment gathered within eight minutes, and the training for the 30-kilometer training took only one hour.

But in the tank regiment, Zhuang Jihua found that they had the same problems as the Mechanized Army, and it was even more serious. The troops lacked fuel and the training volume was seriously insufficient. Many soldiers' bicycle driving skills were not up to standard, let alone tactical training. This is not your problem.

Zhuang Jinghua said to the somewhat ashamed tank team leader: "I will solve the oil problem, but I will give you half a year to practice the tactics, Mengguo." He turned around and said to Song Xiya, "Tank tactics and Bu Tan cooperate, you must complete the training within half a year."

"Please rest assured, we will definitely complete it." Song Xiya glared at the tank commander fiercely, and suddenly remembered in his heart that it was only half a year to expand the road. There must be a reason for this. Does Zhuang Jihua have already planned to start attacking within half a year? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little expectant and excited.

After leaving Tongbai, Zhuang Jihua went straight to Sun Lianzhong's second army. Sun Lianzhong's second army was not like that before. It was under its jurisdiction. After the Third Army was withdrawn, Cao Fulin's 55th Army was placed into the unit. The other two armies were the 40th Army in Chifengcheng and Liu Ruming's 68th Army.

Although there are three armies in Bin, these three armies are incomparable to the three armies of the 36th Army. The three armies of the 36th Army are all Class A Army and are organized in the 33rd system; while the 40th and 68th Army of the Second Army are Class B Army. Although there are three divisions in the organization, two are Class B Divisions, one is Class C Division, Class B Division is the 3rd Brigade and the 6th Regiment system, and Class C Division is the 2nd Brigade and the 4th Regiment system; the 55th Army has only two Class C Divisions with 29th and 74th.

In addition to the differences in organization and equipment, the differences in equipment were also huge. Except for Zhuang Jihua as the commander of the theater after the Second Jinpu Road Battle, when Zhuang Jihua was the commander of the war zone, he did not add any new equipment. The 31st Division suffered huge losses in the Battle of Wuhan, and after the war it was reduced to the B Division.

In addition to serving as the commander of the army, Sun Lianzhong also served as the deputy commander of the theater, responsible for commanding the Northern Line troops, including the 36th Army. However, Sun Lianzhong himself knew that he could not command Song Xiwo at all.

In the Second Army, Sun Lianzhong did not complain. On the contrary, the generals of the entire army showed great enthusiasm for Zhuang Jihua's arrival. Zhuang Jihua's performance was completely different from that in Tongbai and Sui County. Soon after getting off the car, he agreed to give the Second Army a supplement! $ and military pay.

However, in the following process, Zhuang Jihua became increasingly disappointed. In addition to the 40th Army maintaining relatively formal training, the 55th Army and the 68th Army were both in a state of tranquility, with military disciplines being sluggish, and the troops were seriously lacking in training. Zhuang Jihua and his team encountered several robberies in person, and the troops completed a mess in the random inspection exercises conducted by the 68th Army.

Back at the 68th Army Headquarters, Zhuang Jihua finally couldn't help but get angry: "Imitation Brother Lu, Brother Ziliang, after two days, you have seen the situation of the troops. Is it still the Second Army that defended Caoji four years ago? Is this still the 68th Army that defended on the north bank of the Huaihe River? Can such troops still fight tough battles? It's only four years in just two years. Will they be the same as bandits? Today I encountered a restricted power outage and it's too late to update. Please forgive me.
