In the June sunshine, the ten soldiers in gray military uniforms were training nervously. Sweat flowed down their backs and soaked their military uniforms, but they were still slim. In the fields, the corn was already small waists high, and the villagers were busy in the fields. In the spring, it finally rained a few rains, penetrated the dry land, relieved early love, and the harvest was expected. The villagers were more motivated. People who went out to flee famine returned one after another. Under the leadership of organizations at all levels, they accelerated the replanting and rushing to plant. The gratifying corn is the result of this hard work.

Two jeeps rushed past the road, rolled up a yellow dragon, covering the figures of pedestrians. The jeep did not raise a canvas to cover them. The checkpoints along the way seemed to be no surprise to the Eighth Route Army generals in the car in gray uniforms. However, the difference between these Eighth Route Army generals and other Eighth Route Army generals was that they were equipped with military ranks, and the two golden stars led by the sentries made all the sentries cautious.

Seeing Kaifeng getting closer, the adjutant sitting side by side looked at Chen G who was watching the scenery as if nothing had happened. Chen G's face was relaxed, but he was not like this in his heart.

After observation along the way, he had to admit that Zhuang Jihua's disaster relief in Henan was very successful, and the green green in the fields proved that the Kuomintang army's state had improved significantly and he had hardly seen any disturbances.

According to the information, while Zhuang Jihua was rescuing disasters, vigorously promoted the Chongqing model, established Kuomintang organizations, party branches, San Youth League, farmers' associations, and trade unions in the city, and street committees. He replaced land certificates across the province, registered household registration, issued ID cards, and implemented material control. The Henan Disaster Relief Committee received a large amount of donations and purchased a large amount of grain from Guangdong and Hunan. This series of measures quickly stabilized the hearts of Henan people.

After June, Zhuang Jihua began to transfer the troops in Hubei to the north one after another. The first to be affected was the Forty-Nine Army. The Forty-Nine Army was transferred to Kaifeng, and the Fifth Army, which was originally stationed in Kaifeng, was later transferred to the Taikang Line; then the Fourth Army was transferred to Xinzheng.

After strengthening the Yellow River defense line, the 21st Army went south and entered the Qianshan Taihu area, forming a pincer attack on Anqing with the troops of the Jiangnan War Zone advancing north and south; the 17th Army was assigned to the 15th Army to go south to Lu'an; the newly formed 15th Army was assigned to the newly transferred 24th Army, stationed in Huoqiu, posing a threat to the Japanese army in Hefei.

More main forces were secretly transferred eastward, the Second Army, the Thirty-Sixth Army was commanded by Song Xijian and stationed in Shangqiu, and the Twenty-Second Army was stationed in Haozhou; the Fifty-Second Army, the First Army, was commanded by Du Xingming to station in Yongcheng. The Qing 3rd Army and the Qing 4th Army were directly under the command of the theater command and were placed in Suiyang and Tuocheng.

In this series of arrangements, Chen G had already vaguely seen the direction of attack that Zhuang Jihua told him, but what confused him was that the Japanese army seemed to have not noticed it. After the main force of the Japanese army in North China ended the encirclement and suppression of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, it sent a partial division to chase Huang Kcheng who broke through. The six divisions of the main force were all pressing on the north bank of the Yellow River, as if facing a great enemy.

"The Japanese army still has the ability to attack..." Chen G remembered the Central Central instructions forwarded by the headquarters. With the arrogance of the Japanese army, eight divisions are currently concentrated on the north bank of the Yellow River, and three divisions are concentrated in Xuzhou area, with a total force of 140,000; the Jiangbei War Zone has a large number of troops, but the war zone is wide." Zhuang Jihua obviously realized this, so he asked Chiang Kai-shek for the 24th Army, but only adding such an army of less than 100 people cannot make up for the weakness of insufficient troops.

The 24th Army led by Yang Sen was originally under the jurisdiction of the 47th Army and the 20th Army. During the Wuhan Defense Battle, the 47th Army crossed the Yangtze River north and the army was separated. After Li Jiayu was killed, the 47th Army advanced eastward to the Sulu War Zone. The 24th Army had only one 20th Army left. Yang Sen wanted to make up for the army several times, but Chen Cheng first pushed three and four, and then simply assigned a division of the Gan Army to Yang Sen. Yang Sen was unwilling to ask for it. He thought that the army was too poor and had low combat power. What he wanted was the Sichuan Army.

Later, Yang Sen and Wang Lingji discussed and decided to merge the two armies to form a new 24th Army. Although Wang Lingji tried his best to win over relationships with Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng was worried that he had been blocked in everything and suffered all the losses from the Sichuan Army's own supply system. However, the 24th Army and the 30th Army were in the Ninth War Zone and the Third War Zone. The journey was long and they had to go through many checkpoints. If there was a slight mistake in the middle, the two armies would get nothing.

The Jiangbei War Zone was rectifying its troops, and the Jiangnan War Zone was also rectifying its troops. Yang Sen and Wang Lingji together decided that instead of defending an empty shell without dying (the army under the army, and the commander directly controlled the troops), it would be better to seize the opportunity and simply merge and apply to be transferred to the Jiangbei War Zone. The two of them had the idea that Chen Cheng would tell Chen Cheng that after Chen Cheng thought that the two armies could be merged, they could vacant a group number, so they agreed. The new 24th Army consisted of the 20th Army and the 73rd Army, of which Wang Lingji was the commander, and the four B divisions were reduced to the 2nd and 1st and 1st Divisions: the 34th Division, Zhu Shunulou was the commander; the newly formed 15th Division, Jiang Tao was the commander, and Tang Linbo was the commander; the 20th Army was still in place, with 87,000 troops in the entire army.

The Kuomintang was so proud that during this period, and the news of good news spread frequently. In May, on the battlefield in Myanmar, the Japanese army suddenly retreated. After a brief surprise, Yu Jishi immediately commanded his troops to pursue, restore Yangon, and reopened the Yunnan-Burma line. Subsequently, the Myanmar ** government announced its establishment in Yangon. Also this month, MacArthur led the US-Australia coalition forces to set off from New Guinea and began to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

From this time to the Pearl Harbor incident, only a year and a half, the entire war situation reversed. The Japanese army contracted their defense around the world and had no offensive force anymore.

But in this good news, Taihang Mountains entered the most difficult period. The biggest impact of the fall of the Hebei-Central base was that there was not enough food. More than 100,000 troops and millions of people on the Taihang Mountains were all involved in food shortages; the food could not be solved, but what was even more worrying was weapons and ammunition. Chen G himself knew that if it weren't for Zhuang Jihua, each soldier of his troops would have only seven bullets.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, the headquarters wouldn't have sent him a telegram to ask him to find Zhuang Jihua again. To be honest, even he himself knew how difficult it was. He learned from Xuan Xiafu that Zhuang Jihua had not much supplies in his hands, and Zhuang Jihua could not change the newly transferred 24th Army (the equipment of Wang Lingji's 30th Army was not made in Chongqing).

"What do you think Soong Mei-ling is doing in Kaifeng?" Chen G asked in a joking tone.

"In name, it means condolences and disaster relief, which is probably to win people's hearts. Commander, why didn't Chiang Kai-shek come..." asked the adjutant.

Chen G smiled, his eyes flashing behind the wide black framed lenses. "Yu Jishi recovered Yangon and caused a lot of trouble. Chiang Kai-shek didn't hurry to wipe his butt. It would be strange if he had time..."

Soong Mei-ling led a women's condolence group in the rear brought a large number of supplies to the disaster area to comfort the victims. The members of the condolence group were all members of the Women's National Rescue Council led by Soong Mei-ling. However, when Soong Mei-ling came to Henan, Chiang Kai-shek did not accompany him. The official report of the Kuomintang, "Cheng Kai-shek was still in Chongqing, but Chen G speculated that this might be a fool.

At this time, a team of tanks came from the opposite side. The driver slowed down. White smoke was sprayed from the back of the tank. The two tanks were about twenty meters apart. The tank pushed the top cover with his hand and sat on the roof, looking at the two jeeps passing by expressionlessly.

Such a steel column suddenly appeared on the roads. The long columns, cold iron armor, and long gun barrels, added a bit of murderous aura to the hot weather.

Chen G silently calculated in his mind that there were about thirty tanks in the past, and there were also forty armored vehicles and four self-propelled artillery. Chen G was a little surprised that only the Fifth Army had tanks, so why did they come here?

On the next road, Chen G kept encountering the tank column heading east, with the longest team of hundreds of tank armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery. Chen G was a little confused. What are these tanks going east to deal with the Eighth Route Army? Unlike, Zhuang Jihua would not be able to deal with the New Eighth Army? There is such a possibility. Zhuang Jihua is not a rude person. His unconcealed domineering in the process of annexing the Second Army and the Thirty-Three Army proves that he has no essential difference between him and Chen Cheng.

After approaching Kaifeng, the tanks on the highway were gone, Chen G nodded in his heart, which shows that these tanks were not from the Forty-Nine Army, but were transferred from the rear. The Fifty Army moved forward, and Zhuang Jihua was about to cross the river now? Chen G immediately denied this idea. According to what he knew, Zhuang Jihua would not advance north at this time, and the most likely attack could be launched after the summer harvest.

The defense of Kaifeng City has been significantly strengthened, and the inspection of sentry cards outside the city has become more stringent. Although he saw the two generals on Chen G's shoulder, the sentry still checked their IDs without hesitation and asked them about their purpose in Kaifeng.

After entering the city, Chen G found that the patrol teams on the street had increased, but the market was still calm and the store portals were open. Chen G noticed that the banners on the street all said words to welcome Soong Mei-ling.

The jeep did not stop in Kaifeng City, but passed through Kaifeng City and drove west to Kaifeng, and entered Dazhuzhuang, southwest of Kaifeng. The guards here were even more severe. The jeep passed three checkpoints before entering the village.

When Wu Ziniu came to report that Chen G arrived, Zhuang Jihua was accompanying Soong Mei-ling at the edge of the field outside the village. There were two or three women behind Soong Mei-ling, and Zhuang Jihua didn't know him. When Soong Mei-ling introduced just now, Zhuang Jihua also heard that Chen Lifu's wife Sun Luqing, Song Zi-wen's wife Zhang Leyi, etc. were all families of high-ranking officials and nobles in the court.

"Let the Secretary of the Palace greet you. I don't have time now..." Zhuang Jihua glanced at Soong Mei-ling and told Wu Ziniu in a low voice. He didn't bring Gong Xiuhua with him today. Gong Xiuhua stayed in Dawazhuang with his wives from the condolence group. They mainly looked in the village.

Soong Mei-ling ignored Zhuang Jihua. She was talking to an old farmer on the roadside. Zhuang Jihua did not disturb her, but approached Bai Sitong behind her.

Since last time he insisted that Soong Mei-ling visits the United States, Bethlete has gradually been valued by Chiang Kai-shek. Soong Mei-ling has also developed a favorable impression of him and often solicits some diplomatic issues. Bethletete does have some skills and the suggestions he put forward have been adopted several times, so he has been taken more and more attention. Chiang Kai-shek simply transferred him into the attendant room. This time, when Soong Mei-ling came to Henan, Chiang Kai-shek asked Bethletete to represent him.

Chen G was wrong. Chiang Kai-shek did not go to Myanmar, but to Lanzhou. After the establishment of the Myanmar ** government, Yu Jishi seized the entire southern part of Myanmar according to the strategy formulated in advance. The British army did not expect the Japanese army to retreat suddenly. When Mountbatten reacted, the entire southern part of Myanmar had become the Chinese world.

Mountbatten immediately ordered the British army to enter Yangon and ordered the Expeditionary Force to continue to chase and annihilate the Japanese army to the Myanmar-Malaysian border. This order was angrily rejected by Yu Jishi. At the same time, one of the Expeditionary Forces was placed on the British road and blocked the British army west of Yangon.

The situation in Myanmar suddenly became tense. Stilwell was crossing the edges between India, Yangon and Chongqing, and both sides refused to make concessions. Stilwell had no choice but to report the situation to Washington and let the political leaders come forward.

Roosevelt had not responded yet, and London was already in a big blow. The House of Commons also passed a resolution asking Churchill to make a tough statement, revoking Myanmar and Yangon. Churchill sent several consecutive telegrams to file a solemn protest to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding that the Chinese team withdraw from Yangon immediately and abolish the Myanmar government, otherwise the British Empire would never agree. In order to confirm his strong threat, the British immediately closed the China-India highway and cut off the Chinese foreign aid channel.

Under this situation, Chiang Kai-shek naturally would not go to Myanmar, but he was very worried about the development of the situation in Myanmar. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that it is an ally with Britain now. "It is not appropriate to offend Britain at present, so it is recommended to accept the conditions of Britain. Bai Shitong suggested giving in temporarily, but not handing over Myanmar to the British, but to the Americans. The Myanmar government moved to northern Myanmar, which was controlled by the Chinese team.

Chiang Kai-shek did not make any statement, so he went to Lanzhou for inspection. Before leaving, he asked Bai Sitong to come to Henan with Soong Mei-ling, which made Bai Sitong a little depressed.

"The Cultural Revolution, a few months ago, the newspapers described Henan as hell on earth. Now it seems that it is not the case..." Bai Sitong said with a relaxed look at the vibrant corn in the ground.

"You will know a few months before you come early. The description in the newspaper has given the National Government face. However, it is almost the same now. Anyway, the people of Henan live in dire straits, like hell on earth..." Zhuang Jihua sighed. This green field was the result of the entire Henan garrison Party Committee's three Youth League administration and the scorpion tried his best to work hard for several months.

For this result, he interfered in the Party’s headquarters, interfered in the Three Youth League, interfered in administration, ordered the entire army to go on a diet and killed dozens of heads. Until now, some Henan politicians still wrote letters to the Senate, denounced him for looting the people, following the example of GDC, using military chaos to storm politics, and taking the warlord path, demanding that the Central Committee severely punish and rescue the Henan people in dire straits.

"Haha," Bai Sitong smiled mockingly: "It's better for a family to cry than cry all the way. Those rich and profiteers, what do they do..."
