The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the 10th chapter of the storm (Sixth)

This decision was completely beyond Ma Fawu's expectations. In his opinion, his troops were also miscellaneous troops and should have been reorganized. But now Zhuang Jihua asked him to reorganize Pang Sunwu's troops and exchanged the number of the 40th Army that had been transferred to them. How could he not be excited?

"General Ma, the Japanese army is gathering in North China. You only have three months. In three months, the Forty Army will be transferred to the North China front. Can you reorganize the Forty Army into a powerful brigade and defend a brave and warlike army like Linyi?"

"Please rest assured that if there is any mistake in the job, I am willing to protect my job with the head." Ma Fa's voice was loud.

Zhuang Jihua nodded with satisfaction, walked to Wu Ziniu, took two books from him, and handed them to Ma Fawu: "This is a tactical manual formulated by the war zone. All the troops in the Jiangbei war zone trained the troops according to this manual."

"I understand that I must study it carefully and train the troops according to the manual."

"You are not enough alone. The officers above the ranks of the troops will be in charge, and each one will be in charge," Zhuang Jihua said solemnly: "In addition, the theater will send some officers to the Forty Army. These officers are all drawn from various troops. They are familiar with tactics and weapons and equipment. You have to rely on them more."

"Yes," Ma Fawu replied loudly.

"General Wang Shuwu, the Military Commission ordered you to be appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Forty Army," Wang Shuwu stood up again, Zhuang Jihua looked at him and Ma Fawu and said, "I hope you two will work together sincerely and turn the Forty Army into a powerful army as soon as possible."

This arrangement was beyond Wang Shouwu's expectations. He stood there in a daze, and it was not until Ma Fawu's voice woke him up. Wang Shouwu looked at Zhuang Jihua and said, "The commander trusts him, and Wang is inexplicably grateful. Wang must do his best."

At this time, Xu Zuyi interrupted: "Someone has been rumored before that Commander Zhuang wanted to eliminate miscellaneous cards. The facts show that this is a rumor. The reason why Commander Zhuang reorganized the army is very simple, which is to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. General Ma, General Wang, and the theater dispatched officers to the Forty Army. The reason is very simple. The army equipment needs to be replaced and the tactics need to be updated. It cannot be completed within three months by just you sum it up slowly. The booklets in your hands are exchanged by countless soldiers with blood. You must pay attention to it."

"Understand" Ma Fawu's answer was short and powerful.

"You should make a training plan as soon as possible when you go down. The war zone will send people to assist you. During the training process, I will send people to check the training progress from time to time. If you do not do well, I will consider substitutions." Zhuang Jihua glanced at the generals at the meeting: "Although we have achieved some victory, the Japanese have not surrendered yet. They still have the power to counterattack. There is still a fierce battle in North China. In this battle, we must invest all our troops. General Ma, General Wang, you have the heavy responsibility on your shoulders. I hope you will do your best to train the troops as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured, Commander." This time, Ma Fawu and Wang Shouwu answered in unison.

Zhuang Jihua repeatedly emphasized this that the generals should understand that the enemy situation in North China is serious in the future and the war is not over yet, and the troops must be trained in the shortest time.

After arranging Pang Sunwu's troops, Zhuang Jihua named again: "General Wang Guobin, anyway, the Second Front Army of the original puppet army, you are responsible for the reorganization. The 59th Army was expanded into the 59th Army and the New Sixteenth Army. Anyway, the Second Front Army had 32,000 troops. The war zone recruited 20,000 people from Shandong and Hebei, and the entire army was 100,000. Similarly, I only give you three months. Within three months, you must reorganize the troops. You are my old subordinate. I know my habits. If I cannot complete the task, I will replace them."

"Yes" Wang Guobin's answer was very simple. Of course, he understood Zhuang Jihua's style of doing things. The second front army of the original puppet army was Sun Liangcheng's army. The battles of this army were relatively strong among the puppet army and were well-equipped.

Sun Liangcheng, Pang Bingxun, Sun Dianying and Wu Huawen, the total strength of these puppet troops accounts for 80% of the puppet troops. The majority of the remaining ones are the security teams that are the runner-up runner-up, and the other are the miscellaneous brands in the puppet army. Zhuang Jihua simply used them as supplementary troops, and all of them were dispersed and supplemented into the various troops.

In addition to Ma Fawu and Wang Guobin, Xie Zixing's Eighth Army was changed to the New Twenty-first Army and expanded to the B-rank Army, with a total of 40,000 troops.

After the meeting, Sun Liangcheng and other generals were immediately sent to the plane for their new posts. They had been waiting for the Forty-Ninth Army, the Twenty-Fourth Army, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army near Yanzhou, Zaozhuang, immediately divided the puppet army and surrounded them, and then concentrated the officers to review them all. All brigade-level officers were sent to the War Zone Officers' School for re-study. The officers below the battalion entered the Officers' School for the Interim Generals of the War Zone to study. The locations of the two schools were different. The former was in Hubei and was seriously appointed as the principal; the latter was in Yanzhou area.

In the evening, news came from Qingzhou that Hao Pengju's headquarters was attacked and the chief of staff was shot dead. The 104th Division and 105th Division of the 49th Army suddenly appeared in Qingzhou. Hao Pengju hurriedly led only one regiment to escape into the Linqu New Fourth Army Defense Zone.

The commander of the North China War Zone issued a wanted order to the whole country, demanding that the New Fourth Army general Hao Pengju be arrested. The 104th Division and the 105th Division force Linqu to confront the New Fourth Army. In order to fight against Zhuang Jihua's pressure in Linqu, Xu Syou's troops in the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong area gathered troops and threatened Laiyang. Yu Xuezhong urgently dispatched the 113th Division, the main force of the 51st Army, to reinforce Laiyang, and at the same time asked Zhuang Jihua for emergency.

Zhuang Jihua did not give in and confronted him, ordering the transfer of the 20th Army to Jiaodong. The entire Shandong, including the entire Northern China, became nervous. This is another powder keg that may trigger a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party after Shanxi.

"There is no nonsense. Hao Pengju must be handed over and accepted for military law trial. If the defector group of personnel do not want to stay with you, they must be sent back." Zhuang Jihua said to Xuan Xiafu, who rushed from Zhengzhou, with a very tough attitude.

Xuan Xiafu complained in his heart. The Central Committee called him to come from Zhengzhou to negotiate a resolution of the Hao Pengju incident. The bottom line given by the Central Committee was that soldiers, weapons and ammunition could be returned, but Hao Pengju must be kept.

"There is nothing that cannot be discussed in the Cultural Revolution," Xuan Xiafu said with a calm face: "The situation in North China is serious at present, and the Japanese army is increasing its troops in North China. We should work together to fight against the Japanese army, but you have sent troops back from the front line and force me to fight against the Japanese base. This is to provoke a civil war."

Zhuang Jihua did not give in at all. He looked at Xuan Xiafu coldly: "You have initiated the Hao Pengju incident. I don't know why you want to protect such a fickle thing. From Feng Yuxiang, to Chairman, to Wang Jingwei, to your GCD, he surrendered to the domestic political forces. For such a five-subject slave, you will not hesitate to hurt the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and risk the civil war? What do you want to do?"

It’s nothing to hand over Hao Pengju, but this will have an unparalleled impact on GCD’s prestige. Xuan Xiafu and Zhuang Jihua both knew this in their hearts. Xuan Xiafu was a little helpless. This time Zhuang Jihua seized the opportunity.

"Our bottom line is that Hao Pengju must be sent back and military discipline must be purified. Sword Soul, I know that you cannot make decisions about this matter. Please report to Yan'an, our party's request."

Xuan Xiafu came out of the headquarters empty-handed. The headquarters courtyard was busy. Several trucks were parked in the yard. Some soldiers were carrying boxes on the ground onto trucks, and the trucks transported these supplies to Dezhou. The Jinpu Railway was seriously damaged in the war. At present, the Shandong Provincial Government has mobilized tens of thousands of migrant workers to repair them day and night.

After leaving the headquarters, Xuan Xiafu rushed to the provincial government to visit provincial chairman He Siyuan. In the waiting room of the provincial government, Xuan Xiafu waited for two hours. Since the last meeting, He Siyuan has no time, and there are too many things.

It is still a trivial matter to adjust county government officials. There are large areas in southern Shandong and central Shandong. During the War of Resistance, there were no local administrative systems. They were directly replaced by them as a substitute for pseudo-government officials. He Siyuan, the local officials in northern Shandong, directly replaced them with his former guerrilla officers and gentry who supported him. However, these matters are not complicated but complicated.

What worries He Siyuan the most is that refugee relief and the grain transferred from the National Government is still on the way. Jia Zhongxian launched a National Rescue Association in Henan to donate tens of thousands of kilograms of grain. The army donated part of the military rations. He Siyuan also raised part of the grain from the gentry of Shandong. These alleviated the current situation of the victims, but the food was consumed very quickly, and the transportation capacity of the Pinghan Line and the Longhai Line was tight, and all weapons, ammunition and personnel had to be transported from these two routes.

In addition to these, the Air Force has also arrived. The Jinan Airport has started to expand. In order to build the airport as soon as possible, more than 20,000 migrant workers have been mobilized near Jinan. Due to the lack of machinery, migrant workers can only use the most primitive tools to level the place out, which made the US military engineers on the scene shake their heads.

In addition to Jinan Airport, Qingdao also has airports in Shandong. Japan has a naval base and an air force airport. This airport has also begun to be expanded.

The location selection of the Air Force radar station has also begun. Air Force engineering and technicians from Wuhan have selected a radar station site near Qingdao.

According to the orders of the National Government and the Military Commission, the work of Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other provinces, including Xuzhou, was guided by the North China War Theater Command. As soon as the last meeting came out, Teng Jie reminded He Siyuan that administrative work must be carried out immediately and Zhuang Jihua would never give him a lot of time. At that time, He Siyuan didn't care, so he saw Teng Jie deploying work overnight and rebuilding the party departments in various places. In two days, the party departments of the county in the Kuomintang-controlled area were arranged, and all the staff were in place in five days.

In just five days, Zhuang Jihua's headquarters sent more than a dozen orders, requiring the provincial government to start making arrangements immediately. Only then did He Siyuan understand what Teng Jie said.
