The third part of the bloody war of resistance Chapter 9, the 9th chapter of the Phantom (15th)

Zhuang Jihua's door was closed and Zhou Enlai went back in disappointment. After Zhou Enlai left, He Zhonghan and Huangpu classmates came to visit one after another. Zhuang Jihua finally became impatient and ordered to close the door to thank the guests, let Wu Ziniu and Song Yunfei block the guests. On this last day, he didn't want to see anyone, but just wanted to be with his two children, but in the afternoon, Tang Zong came to the door again and Chiang Kai-shek summoned him.

The scenery of Huangshan is still there, and the villa is filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Now, no matter from military to economy, to politics, from domestic to foreign countries, from the War of Resistance Against Japan to the present, the situation has never been so good.

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were waiting in the villa yard. Seeing Zhuang Jihua coming in, He Yingqin waved to him. Zhuang Jihua hurried over and saluted He Yingqin according to the previous rules.

"The Cultural Revolution, I have been back for so many days and I have only been here today, so I am not afraid of the Chairman's blame." He Yingqin smiled.

"The teacher knows that the student came back this time to attend the funeral. He didn't plan to stay for a long time. He will go back to Shandong tomorrow. There are many front-line affairs. Besides, where is this place, you can come at will. If the principal doesn't call me, I don't dare to come." Zhuang Jihua sighed deeply.

"Oh, your wife's affairs are really regrettable," He Yingqin sighed. After Liu Yinshu's death, he also went to pay his respects and sent his wife to help with the funeral, which was a pity. "Speak for your wife, I knew it when I was in Guangzhou. Later, I heard that he was looking for you thousands of miles away. He was such a loyal and virtuous woman. It was a pity, a pity."

After Liu Yinshu's death, her love story with Zhuang Jihua was also dug out. She searched for her husband thousands of miles away and waited for several years, telling her story, which made countless boys and girls who yearn for love burst into tears.

Bai Chongxi looked at the two of them with a smile and chatted. When Liu Yinshu passed away, he only sent his wife to pay his respects, so he did not do anything else. To be honest, he would never be able to do such a demeanor as He Yingqin.

After chatting with He Yingqin for a few words, Zhuang Jihua and He Yingqin chatted with Bai Chongxi for a few more words, then asked: "The two chiefs are waiting in the yard. I wonder who the chairman is meeting?"

"The ambassadors of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union came to visit one after another, and it seems that it is mostly for Tehran." He Yingqin's tone was very relaxed.

"I don't think so," Bai Chongxi shook his head, "I'm afraid it's for the situation in northern Shanxi. By the way, in the Cultural Revolution, you transferred all your troops north of the Yellow River, and only one army was left in Jiaodong. Don't you worry about GCD coming?"

"What's there to worry about?" Zhuang Jihua spread his hands: "I have a million troops in Jiangbei War Zone. How many people can they have? Besides, does the current political climate allow civil war? GCD is not a fool."

Bai Chongxi nodded slightly when he heard this. He understood the meaning of this sentence. In Shandong, although the Kuomintang troops were not directly facing, the Kuomintang's total strength was one million, which was overwhelming. Of course, GCD would not provoke troubles; Shanxi was different.

In Shanxi, the power of the Kuomintang is not stronger than that of GCD. GCD has a large base in Shanxi. During the Six Years War, the people in the base areas shared life and death with GCD, and the GCD regime had extremely high support in these places. More importantly, it is possible that the Kuomintang fired the first shot here, and they will take the initiative in politics, and even if they lose the battlefield, they can still get it back politically.

"I think it's good to fight. After this battle, they knew that the government's determination to promote the unification of military orders and government orders." He Yingqin was very confident, and even the Japanese army was not a problem, let alone the small Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army, which was not defeated without a single battle, was able to capture it.

"Teacher, you may have underestimated the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army," Zhuang Jihua expressed his tactful opposition: "The Japanese army encircled them for six years, but they held on, which shows that their combat effectiveness is not weak, let alone..."

As he was talking, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling sent the ambassadors of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union out, Zhuang Jihua stopped talking. Chiang Kai-shek's face was not very good, but Soong Mei-ling still maintained his usual demeanor.

Before Chiang Kai-shek and his wife could send them farewell to the steps and say goodbye to the three of them. After the three of them left, Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and saw the three of them standing there, and walked over.

"You guys are here, let's go, let's go for a walk in the back."

After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek took the lead in walking towards the small garden behind. The three of them could only follow behind. All three of them found that Chiang Kai-shek's face was not good and did not know what had happened, so they had to follow behind silently.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think of the situation in Shanxi?" Chiang Kai-shek, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked.

"The students don't know much about the situation in Shanxi. What I know is only what I know from the newspaper. Vice Minister Zhou came yesterday and also talked about some of the situation. The students were bored and didn't listen." Zhuang Jihua made up his mind this time. Even if there was a conflict, it could only be considered a small conflict at most and could not affect the overall situation of the War of Resistance. As long as this conflict has a result, whoever wins and loses, the future will be easy to talk about.

"I think I'd better fight," Bai Chongxi said: "The scope under control is to fight only in northern Jin and the limit is to occupy Datong."

Zhuang Jihua glanced at Bai Chongxi and thought to himself that this guy was really cunning. In fact, he was the same as Bai Chongxi's judgment. The visit of the ambassadors of the Three Kingdoms must have come for the relationship between the two parties. As for the Tehran Conference, as long as the American ambassadors come, there is no need for the three of them to come together.

This time when returning to Chongqing, Zhuang Jihua felt like he had never had before. The performance of He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi proved that the top leaders of the Kuomintang were full of confidence and had full confidence in defeating the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army.

He Yingqin also said: "The number of new Fourth Army troops in Shanxi Eighth Route Army is large, so I suggest that Wei Lihuang's two armies be transferred along Zhengtai Road."

Zhuang Jihua still said nothing. Chiang Kai-shek looked at him with some surprise. In the past, when there were conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Zhuang Jihua rushed to put out the fire, but what happened today?

"What do you think of the Cultural Revolution?" Chiang Kai-shek simply named him.

"Principal, the root of the conflict between the two parties is political. I have said this long ago that political problems will not be resolved, and there will be constant conflicts. Secondly, after the war in Shandong, the Japanese army decided to add 20 divisions to North China. I estimate that these 20 divisions will arrive within three to five months, and North China will face another decisive battle. Principal, this will be the last large-scale decisive battle in the War of Resistance. If this battle is won, there will be no major problems in the future. Therefore, if there is a conflict in Shanxi, it is best to complete it within one month, and then the troops will be renovated and replenished, preparing to fight the Japanese army."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin were silent. The battle time was only one month, which was a bit short. The Central Army participated in the northern Jin Dynasty and the only 86th Army and the Ninety-Fourth Army were involved in the battle of northern Jin Dynasty. The rest were the Jin army, including Bai Chongxi, who all believed that the Jin army was okay to fight defense, and if they were asked to attack...

Li Zongren once inspected the troops in the Second World War Zone. In his letter to Bai Chongxi, he believed that the Jin army was at least two levels away from the troops in the Fifth World War Zone. The generals of the Jin army, especially the senior generals, were in a down-to-earth manner and outdated tactics. Yan Xishan resisted social reforms, and the military-civilian relations were extremely poor, so he had to make great efforts to rectify them.

Speaking of social reform, Li Zongren still took a try-out attitude when accepting Shangqiu social reform, but the huge effect he played later shocked him. Later, when he was in charge of the Five War Zones, he vigorously promoted social reform, and even specially telegraphed Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi, and invited some cadres from Yunnan and Chongqing to return to Guangxi to promote social reform in Guangxi.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Zhuang Jihua laughed in his heart and said to me to put some pressure on me: "Chairman, after Shandong's liberation, Jinan, Tai'an, Dexian, Liaocheng and other places were severely damaged by the war, and a large number of refugees urgently need relief. Now winter is coming, and refugees must have housing before winter comes. Can the central government allocate some food and funds?"

Chiang Kai-shek's expression became even more gloomy when he heard this, and he sighed. Just now, the ambassadors of the Three Kingdoms jointly demanded him, hoping that domestic politics would remain stable and that civil wars would not break out. The US ambassador even more severely warned that once a civil war broke out in China, Roosevelt would reconsider the issue of US aid supplies and re-examine the direction of combat against Japan.

Now Zhuang Jihua raised two very fatal questions. Chiang Kai-shek's fighting spirit was shaken, but GCD's attitude was always tough. Yan Xishan repeatedly demanded to recover Datong and open up the Zhengtai Road. If military action is not taken against GCD, Yan Xishan's requirements must be balanced.

"Cultural Revolution, how do you think of how to resolve the current bipartisan relationship?" Chiang Kai-shek finally began to seek Zhuang Jihua's opinions.

Zhuang Jihua sighed: "The fundamental reason for the conflict between the two parties is political. My point of view is that the government takes the first step. I have suggested to the principal before to form a coalition government.

The establishment of a coalition government actually did not suffer much damage to our party, but this step can allow the government to take the initiative in politics. This coalition government can unite leaders such as mzd and Zhud into the government.

The Shanxi issue, students think that the status quo will be maintained. If there is any problem, we will talk about it after the war. Even if we conquer Datong and open up the Zhengtai Road, the gains will be handed over to Yan Xishan. The central government bleed and paid the money, but the land that was captured was Yan Xishan. Such a transaction is not cost-effective.

In addition, the principal, the issue of unified command of the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army is now urgent. The battlefield behind enemy lines is actually very small and cannot accommodate so many troops. If it is left to stay in the rear, it will be not right to leave such a large force vacant. This issue is more urgent than the Shanxi issue."

This is another difficult problem. Will GCD hand over the army to the Kuomintang to command? If the political problem is not solved, it will never happen. Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said, "This issue can be mentioned by Chen Lifu and others during negotiations. The Shanxi issue will be like this and will remain the same for the time being. But in this way, the Jin army will not be able to join the decisive battle in North China, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will have no choice."

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi's expressions were suddenly much more relaxed, and Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart. This means that there were 700,000 troops that the Chinese had consumed internally.

"Chairman, there is another question, about the Jiangbei War Zone," Zhuang Jihua quickly calculated the forces that could be invested in the decisive battle of North China in his mind, while deliberating: "The Jiangbei War Zone is too big at present. From the north bank of the Yangtze River to North China, the area is too big, and the students are really unable to take care of it. The students suggested that the Jiangbei War Zone be split, the Jianghuai War Zone and the North China War Zone be established. The Jianghuai War Zone is responsible for cooperating with the Jiangnan War Zone to deter the Japanese army in Jiangnan."

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi didn't know about this suggestion, but Chiang Kai-shek knew it. Chiang Ching-kuo had reported it to him. Chiang Kai-shek nodded and replied: "Your idea is very good. However, how many troops will be invested in the Jianghuai War Zone during the Cultural Revolution? Who will the commander choose?"

Zhuang Jihua finally sighed: "Principal, it turns out that I plan to allocate 300,000 troops to the Jianghuai War Zone, but now, since the Jinsui Army cannot go out of the province to fight, the Japanese army will definitely target our army with all their might, so the students dare not divide too many troops, just 200,000.

In addition, since the Japanese army draws troops from Southeast Asia, our army can also transfer troops from Myanmar. Students believe that it is perfect to draw two more troops; in addition, the Guangdong Army and the Guangxi Army can also draw some to the Jianghuai War Zone, and a total of 300,000 troops will be gathered.

As for the commander, the student recommended Guan Linzheng, who was the former commander of the Sulu War Zone. He was familiar with the Jianghuai region and was fully qualified to serve as the commander of the War Zone."

This candidate was immediately supported by He Yingqin. Guan Linzheng could have been assigned to He Yingqin's system. Bai Chongxi also had a good impression of Guan Linzheng and believed that this candidate was feasible, but Bai Chongxi did not say anything.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Bai Chongxi and said that if he wanted to talk about the commander of the Jianghuai War Zone, there was actually a good candidate, that is, Li Pinxian, the former deputy commander of the Fifth War Zone. He has been fighting in this area for nearly six years.

"Guan Linzheng." Chiang Kai-shek calmed down and did not make a decision immediately: "The split of the Jiangbei War Zone is decided like this. As for the commander, I will consider it again."

Zhuang Jihua decided to give Chiang Kai-shek another surprise, which may not be considered a surprise. He then said: "Chairman, there is another thing that I have been worried about. The chairman was going to disband the Southwest Development Team back then, but I didn't agree. The reason was not yet time. Now, the mission of the principal and the Southwest Development Team has ended."

Chiang Kai-shek did not show much surprise. After Chiang Ching-kuo reported to him, he thought for a long time. Although he wanted to disband the Southwest Development Team, he was not sure whether it was disbanded now. The authority of the Southwest Development Team has been cancelled a lot, and the administrative authority is limited to the traditional areas of the sixteen counties around Chongqing. His work on Yunnan and Guizhou only relies on his previous influence.

"It's good, but there is no need to disband immediately. First, take the party and administrative power into the party and municipal government. Take the rest slowly, and be slow to be politically politicians, and don't be too anxious." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was gentle, and there was no sign of any excitement.

Zhuang Jihua understood in his heart, and he looked at Chiang Kai-shek without hesitation, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek stood up: "Our situation is good now," Seeing that He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were about to stand up, he reached out to make a gesture and let them sit down, and continued: "President Roosevelt invited me to attend the Tehran Conference. We must go to this conference. This was exchanged for hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I think this conference will determine the issue of East Asia after the war, which is what was determined at the last Cairo Conference. By the way, after returning, I turned over history. During the Russo-Japanese War, Japan also seized half of Sakhalin Island, and we will also take back this half of the island."

"The Chairman is right. The Qing Dynasty lost too much territory. Japan and Russia seized our territory. First take back what Japan had in hand, and then negotiated with the Soviet Union." He Yingqin nodded in agreement.

"There is another thing. Japan has drawn a large number of troops from the Soviet-Russian battlefield and the Nanyang battlefield to the Chinese battlefield. It should urge the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army as soon as possible to relieve our pressure. Chairman, your attitude can be stronger. We have undertaken the main tasks of fighting against Japan and deserve the respect and benefits we deserve." Zhuang Jihua suggested.

For Western powers, strength is everything. Now China has undertaken the heavy responsibility of war, showing strong strength, being qualified and capable, making his requests; being qualified and capable, and being respected by world powers.

Next, Chiang Kai-shek asked about the Jiangbei War Zone again, and finally told about Liu Yinshu.

"This is my negligence. I used to think that Chongqing's local security was good, but I didn't expect that there was such a crazy person who ignored the national laws and regulations and the overall situation of the country." Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek felt a little guilty. His confidant beloved generals fought on the front line, but could not guarantee the safety of his family. This matter was not handled well. Not only did the Huangpu generals feel disappointed, but the front line generals probably were not at ease. This is also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek dared not let the real situation of the Liu Yinshu case be reported.

"It seems that some officials have been corrupted to an unimaginable level of moral conscience. We must rectify this. Those officials, who should be killed, who should be killed, who should be stopped, and who should be stopped. Such things will never happen again. In the Cultural Revolution, don't worry on the front line, you have me at home." Chiang Kai-shek was particularly angry. It is really unimaginable that such a person actually became a lieutenant general.

"Thank you, Principal, I will ask the principal at home." Zhuang Jihua said gratefully. Liu Yinshu's funeral was personally inquired by Soong Mei-ling, and Zhuang Jihua was very grateful for this: "The situation of the war began to improve, but the principal proposed that the road to the establishment of the country by the Anti-Japanese War was just a small step. If you start to be proud of such a small achievement, it would be very small. Principal and students suggested that we continue to deepen the new life movement, advocate hard and simplicity, and not pay attention to luxury lifestyles, and resolutely crack down on corruption and bribery, so that there will be hope for the founding of the country by the Anti-Japanese War."

"The Cultural Revolution is right. Now the corruption trend in the officialdom has risen again, so we should rectify it." He Yingqin also said that the trend in the Chongqing officialdom was relatively positive, but as the central government entered, the trend in the officialdom was affected. A few years ago, after Zhuang Jihua came back from the front line, he rectified it once, and now he is rising again.

"I have to find someone to rectify it." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and began to be alert. Zhuang Jihua said it well. Judging from the plan of establishing the country in the War of Resistance and War, driving away the Japanese only means a phased victory. After the war, the country must live a period of hard life.

Just when Zhuang Jihua was summoned by Chiang Kai-shek at the Huangshan villa, Yan'an, frowned at the peaceful Yan River, smoking in big mouths, grey scar-filled military uniform was blown by the river wind, and the hem was gently floating.

The conflict in Shanxi is intensifying. Zhou Enlai is working hard to make peace in Chongqing, but Chiang Kai-shek always insists that he must have Datong and Zhengtai Road. This makes it difficult for him to accept it. If he doesn't accept it, he will take the risk of war. Where can he go?

mzd knows the burden on him. He bears the fate of the whole party and the whole army. Once the peace talks are shattered, can he defeat the Kuomintang? The combat effectiveness shown by the Kuomintang army is no longer like the place where the war of resistance. When Jiangxi was lost, the whole party and the whole army paid a huge price to reach Yan'an. Now if Yan'an is lost, where will they go?

Zhou Enlai called from Chongqing and thought that he could make a step back. The specific plan was to exchange Hebei for Suiyuan. Hebei was located in the Central Plains in a flat terrain, which was conducive to attack but not defense. Suiyuan could connect several major bases in Shanxi, northern Shaanxi and Hebei, and could also open up connections with Outer Mongolia, which would have a great impact on the future.

This plan should be good, but MZD felt great grievances. Hebei is rich and Suiyuan is poor. Without Hebei's food, it is difficult for Taihang Mountain to persist. It is worrying about gains and losses, and MZD is difficult to make a decision.

"I don't believe it, the sky is about to fall."

After thinking for a while, mzd suddenly threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the river, turned around and walked towards the Military Commission. Obviously, he had made up his mind.
