The jeep was crawling hard on the winding mountain road. The hillside was covered with snow, and the green forest was covered with a layer of silver. The mountain wind was full of biting coldness, shaking the face with a cold and coldness.

Zhuang Jihua wrapped in a military coat and leaned tiredly against Gong Xiuhua. He walked three armies in a row. The situation was not very optimistic. The situation of the 36th Army was slightly better, but he clearly felt the arrogance. Song Xiya and other Central Army generals did not see the local miscellaneous troops, and there was a crack between the Central Army and the local army. Now due to long-term supply injustice, the crack is expanding.

The miscellaneous military generals such as Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, and Liu Ruming had a strict control over the troops, but this kind of strictness is not strictness in military discipline. On the contrary, they are famous for their tolerance to their subordinates, but this tolerance can be said to be indulging to a certain extent, resulting in the relaxation of military discipline and severe decline in combat effectiveness. "Where did Sun Zhen in the past?" Gong Xiuhua asked softly.

Sun Zhen is no longer the commander of the 102nd Army. After Deng Xihou returned to Sichuan to serve as the chairman of Sichuan Province, he recommended Sun Zhen as the commander of the 22nd Army. The two subordinates, the commander of the 41st Army became Zeng Suyuan, the subordinate of Harada Songsun, and the commander of the 45th Army was Chen Dingxunji, and Lu hummed softly. He planned to spend two weeks to travel to various war zones, inspect all the troops in the war zone, have a general understanding of the situation, and at least be a confidant.

The fifth theater had strong troops, and Li Zongren's configuration was light in front and heavy in the back. The first line was the Second Army and the 33rd Army, and western Hubei was the 50th Army and the upper Yangtze River Command. Although the upper Yangtze River Command was controlled by the fifth theater, it actually had a great power of action. It was under the jurisdiction of the Central Army, Mo Yushuo's 86th Army and Mou Tingfang's 94th Army. The second line was the 22nd Army and the 36th Army; the third city, Sichuan and Hubei border was the 49th Army.

Such configuration made the miscellaneous generals dissatisfied, but Li Zongren placed the 21st Nose Army of the Gui family behind the enemy, Dabie Mountains, so although Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, and Liu Ruming were dissatisfied, they did not complain publicly; but after the Suzao Battle, their complaints became public. This was certainly a failure in the Suzao Battle, and it was also a public release of the long-term unfair treatment of the central government.

In the Second Army, Zhuang Jihua made a furious incident and asked Sun Lianzhong and Liu Ruming to rectify within a time limit. At the same time, he told them that the 36th Army would take over the defense in the Pyeongchang area. Of course, Sun Lianzhong would not refuse this.

"Sun Lianzhong is a general of the Tiger, Liu Ruming is old." As the jeep was shaking, Zhuang Jihua said to himself: "I want to find someone to replace him, but who should I look for? The Northwest Army is really complicated.

It really made Zhuang Jihua troubled. The Northwest Army was originally the general term for Feng Yuxiang's troops. After the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army collapsed and the entire Northwest Army was divided into several major units, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, Han Fuju's Third Army, and Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army. These three units were relatively large, and the others were Pang Bingxun, Ji Hongchang, Fang Zhenwu and other troops. The complexity of the problem was that when these generals were under Feng Yuxiang's troops, there were conflicts between them. Without Feng Yuxiang's suppression, the conflicts broke out in full. Sun Lianzhong would rather join Chiang than retreat to the Yellow River than accept Song Zheyuan's command.

The relationship with Chiang Kai-shek was different. After Sun Lianzhong joined Chiang, he never had a second intention. Chiang Kai-shek trusted him more; Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu resolutely opposed Chiang and were eventually eliminated by Chiang Kai-shek; Song Zheyuan and Han Fuju were separated and united, while Pang Bingxun was swaying among various forces, and Chiang Kai-shek was always suspicious of him.

Liu Ruming's army was the former subordinate of Song Juyuan, the chairman of Chahar Province, and also considered a prince. After the First Army was withdrawn, it was transferred to Sun Lianzhong's command. There was originally a conflict between Liu and Sun, so it could not be transferred from Sun Lianzhong's army to succeed. However, if it were not transferred from Sun Lianzhong's army to take over, Zhuang Jihua could not trust the people in the sixty-eighth army. "Is it impossible to summon troops to transfer people from the thirty-three rounds?" Gong Xiuhua asked.

"It seems that there are conflicts between them." Zhuang Jihua's tone was full of wandering: "Liu Ruming's army has a deep relationship with him. His younger brother Liu Ruzhen serves as the commander of the 36th Division for temporary assembly. He wants to be transferred, and both of these brothers need to be transferred."

Now, Zhuang Jihua was thinking that this person was very good. The relationship between the remaining three armies and him was quite small. Sun Zhen and Lan Yundong could only express his ecstasy with ecstasy. Especially Sun Zhen, although the 22nd Army was not suppressed like the 33rd Army and the 2nd Army, it was also thanks to the ** logistics supply system established by Zhuang Jihua for the Sichuan Army. The logistics supply system has been operating in a semi-public manner in the future. Sichuan Army generals gathered together to maintain this system, and Chiang Kai-shek was also afraid of it, so he simply turned a blind eye and let them go.

But this system cannot fully meet the needs of the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army has already transferred 500,000 troops. In addition to the original 22nd Army, the 23rd Army, and the 24th Army, in recent years, Wang Lingji's 30th Army, Wang Zanxu's 29th Army, and half of the 49th Army, all the essence of the Sichuan Army has been transferred out of Sichuan. With so many troops, that fragile

The logistics system can only meet the requirements of 30% of the army. Among the three, Du Yuming was more depressed. The Fifty Army originally governed the Sixty Army and the Fifty Eighth Army. After the Fifty Eighth Army was transferred back to Yunnan, there was only one Sixty Army left in the Fifty Eighth Army, and its strength dropped significantly. He wanted to replenish his troops inside and outside.

"Guangting, the 60th Army is to be expanded from one army to two army. The plan is already available. **31st Brigade will be incorporated, and then three security groups in western Hubei will be incorporated, collect 10,000 people from the western Henan reserve, and form a new 17th Army. Half a month later, the theater will hold a meeting of all commanders and above. This decision will be announced at the meeting. Now you can make some preparations first, formulate a training plan, and there are personnel. Commander, I am Zhang Lihui, and in addition, I will transfer a group of officers to come."

Before Zhuang Jihua came, he proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to expand the 60th Army and make the 50th Army full. Chiang Kai-shek once proposed to organize one of the two armies under the command of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River into the 50th Army. However, Zhuang Jihua believed that it is better to weaken the defense of the Sichuan-Rich Portal Yichang in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is better to expand it on the spot. The 31st Brigade is a remnant of the Beiyang Anhui Army, with only more than 3,000 brigades. The brigade commander Zuo Qingwei was born in Beiyang. Now the 31st Brigade is resting in western Henan, which belongs to the combat sequence of the First War Zone.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek accepted this proposal, and could destroy a miscellaneous army and increase the number of the Central Army. No matter what, Chiang Kai-shek would agree.

The Fifth War Zone was the starting point of counterattack planned by China, and it is inevitable to strengthen the combat zone's troops. In addition to the 31st Brigade, the Fifth Army of the Strategic Reserves was also transferred to the Fifth War Zone.

The Fifth Army is the first mechanized army in China, with two infantry corpses and one tank division, the 6th Army of the Fifth Army and the 1st Tank Division; the commander of the Jade Army Qiu Qingquan also serves as two divisions, the 200th Division, the commander of the division Gao Jiren, the honorary commander of the Sixth Army Gan Lichu (Phase I of Huangpu), and the commander of the Q3rd Division, the commander of the division Lu Guoquan, the commander of the new 3P Division, the commander of the division Li Jingyi, and the commander of the Tank Division Han Zengdong.

When Zhuang Jihua returned to Laohekou, Fan Hanjie, deputy commander of the Third Army, had been waiting for him at Laohekou for two days. In the battle of defense of Wuhan, Fan Hanjie led the 27th Army to cover the entire Northern Expedition retreat, and finally rushed out of the 7th army to surround him. After the war, he was awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

When Xu Tingyao left the Fifth Army, Chiang Kai-shek was originally interested in Fan Hanjie, but Qiu Qingquan won a great victory in the Zaoyang counterattack and was known as the tank general. He Yingqin and Chen Cheng both believed that China's first mechanized unit should be handed over to an expert who was proficient in tank warfare. Although Fan Hanjie also studied in Germany, the use of tanks was not as good as Qiu Qingquan. Chiang Kai-shek accepted the suggestion of the two and asked Fan Hanjie to be Qiu Qingquan's deputy.

In this way, Fan Hanjie from Huangpu First Phase was appointed as the deputy commander of the Fifth Army, and Qiu Qingquan from Huangpu Second Phase was appointed as the commander. If this was the case with others, there would be a lot of conflicts. However, Fan Hanjie was generous and took on Qiu Qingquan's deputy sincerely. Qiu Qingquan was a little crazy at first, but later he saw that Fan Hanjie did not compete for power with him at all, and even suppressed Gan Lichu (Huangpu First Phase), and felt respect in his heart, and the two cooperated more harmoniously.

Fan Hanjie came to Zhuang Jihua to defend the area, but when he saw Fan Hanjie, another idea arose in Zhuang Jihua's mind. After settled the Fifth Army, he immediately drafted a report and officially recommended Du Yuming as commander of the Fifth Army and Wang Guobin as commander of the Fifth Army.

"Did Wang Guobin be promoted too fast?" Gong Xiuhua was a little worried. It was natural for Fan Hanjie to replace Qiu Qingquan. Zhuang Jihua suddenly made a move. Chiang Kai-shek would definitely doubt it. Moreover, as the sixth period of Huangpu, Wang Guobin had surpassed many Huangpu classmates as the commander of the army. Many of the first period of the class were still serving as division commanders and then serving as commander of the group army. I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would not be able to satisfy the discussion below. "There are people in the court who are easy to be an official, so please do whatever he wants." Zhuang Jihua seemed to be careless and played casually: "Otherwise, you can pick someone for me."

Gong Xiuhua thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate. Zhuang Jihua had only those people in his hands. Wang Guobin and Zhang Lihui were already the highest. If he wanted to completely control the Fifty Army, only Wang Guobin would be the only one.

Zhuang Jihua signed the report and was about to stamp the official seal when Wu Ziniu came in to report: "Commander, please see Mr. Feng." "Mr. Feng?" Zhuang Jihua was slightly stunned by his subordinates, suddenly remembered something, put down the official seal in his hand and asked: "Is it Mr. Feng Gui?" "Yes."

"Please, please, please." Zhuang Jihua said as he walked out. When he arrived outside the door, he saw Feng Gui, wearing a blue cotton robe with a white life, standing there with a smile, with a black scarf around his neck. He was dressed in such a outfit and in military uniform, making the star-studded war zone headquarters look so strange. The officers and soldiers passing by were all looking at the old man in strange sunlight.
