Section 1 Running a School (1)

Yang Yongtai was transferred back to the attendant room to serve as the director of the First Department of the Attendant room, Tang Zong served as the deputy officer and the deputy director of the secret service department, Teng Jie served as the secretary-general of the Blue Yi Society, and also the secretary-general of the newly established Three Youth League, preparing to establish the Central Committee of the Three Youth League. However, Teng Jie did not draw personnel from the Blue Yi Society, but directly brought a group of cadres from Chongqing and used them to set up the airs of the Central Committee of the Three Youth League.

Just when the Nanjing officialdom thought that the southwestern forces had begun to enter the central government, Chiang Kai-shek's steps stopped. Instead, he appointed Zhang Zhizhong as the chairman of Hubei Province, Kang Ze as the director of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, and the Sichuan team of the Rangers were incorporated into the Southwest Development Team.

At the end of January 1937, Chiang Kai-shek announced the abolition of the Chongqing camp and the establishment of the Southwest Pacification Office, and appointed He Guoguang as the director of the Southwest Pacification Office. Zhuang Jihua and Yushi were appointed as deputy directors. Yushi was ordered to go to Xikou to meet Chiang Kai-shek.

Just when Nanjing thought the adjustment was over, the real adjustment storm began. In early February, Deng Wenyi was suspended on two charges: embezzlement and waste of public funds. In mid-February, He Zhonghan was ordered to go to Xikou and was reprimanded by Chiang Kai-shek for two hours. Then he announced that he would be removed from his position as director of the Political Training Department and served as director of the Propaganda Department of the Military Orders. At the same time, he was asked to negotiate with the Communist Party of China with Chen Lifu, Yang Yongtai, and Zhang Chong.

In March, he returned from Hong Kong seriously. Five days later, the Kuomintang Central Committee of Nanjing announced the revocation of the party-level punishment of expulsion of Deng Yanda, Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu and others. On the same day, the Hong Kong Daily published a notice from Deng Yanda and other third party central committee, announcing the suspension of activities of the third party. All comrades of the Party will go to the national crisis with the Kuomintang comrades. Deng Yanda was interviewed by a reporter in Hong Kong and claimed that he would go to Nanjing to discuss state affairs with Chairman Chiang in the near future.

In the same month, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Blue-Clothing Society to stop its activities, and all personnel were selected and transferred to the Third Youth League by Teng Jie. It was announced that the new 102 Army was established under the Southwest Development Team, and the new 101 Army and the new 102 Army formed the new 102 Army. The army commander-in-chief Zhuang Jihua, deputy commander-in-chief Sun Zhen, and the chief of staff Fu Chang and Yang Yongtai were left behind mayor Chongqing shall be replaced by Li Zhilong, and the director of the Chongqing Party Committee was taken over by Zeng Kuoqing.

A series of appointments were targeted at the southwest. The Nanjing officialdom was stunned and knew clearly that Chiang Kai-shek was letting go of training the southwest, but those closest to Chiang Kai-shek knew that Chiang Kai-shek was working hard to build a southwest base.

In March, the political division and military threats against the trinity of Xi'an finally worked. After the civil strife of the Northeast Army, the generals of the Northeast Army announced that they would accept the central government's order and be transferred to southern Henan, northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu. Gu Zhutong led the Central Army to Xi'an. Zhang Xueliang was sentenced to ten years in prison after being tried by military court, and was later pardoned by Chiang Kai-shek. He was ordered to study at home. In March, secret negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were held in Nanjing.

Wang Jingwei, who was healed in Europe in March, returned to China and was still the chairman of the Kuomintang Central Political Conference, but he did not take office on the grounds of being physically unwell. However, in various public speeches, he opposed ** and opposes the war against Japan. At the end of the same month, he ordered the establishment of Huangpu Branch in Chongqing, with Zhuang Jihua as the head of the branch teaching director, and Jiang Fangzhen as the chief instructor.

Another spring is coming, and the bright sunshine shines on the mountain city where the two rivers meet, and the wind blowing from the river is still chilling. After the New Year, the base is very lively, and a large number of new soldiers flock to the base. The casualties after the Battle of Yunnan last year did not scare the people of eastern Sichuan. They still signed up for the army as in previous years. Except for the children of the peasant family.

"I walked a long way from Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi to Hubei, Hunan. Only you Chongqing has the greatest shock to me." In the newly expanded military camp by the Guanyin Bridge River, several senior generals accompanied a gray-haired general to "walk" around the camp.

"General Baili is a senior in the military. I am a reserve for the military. The principal asked me to serve as the chief education director. But you were asked to serve as the chief instructor. The principal's arrangement was inappropriate. General. I called the principal and suggested that you serve as the chief education director. But he just refused." Zhuang Jihua said to Jiang Baili around him, with a very regretful expression.

If I didn't know who Jiang Baili was when I was in Guangzhou, now Zhuang Jihua knew who he was. A scholar and general, a top Chinese strategist. He was well-versed in Chinese and Western cultures. He invaded military affairs all his life, but never led troops to fight.

"You are wasting your efforts." Even if you wear a suit, you look like a literati, Jiang Baili laughed and said, "It is appropriate for the Chairman to let me be the chief instructor. I am a short person politically. I am shorter than the Japanese."

Hearing Jiang Baili's jokes, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help laughing. After the War of Protecting the Country, Jiang Baili had never stood in the same team in politics. He joined Wu Peifu's shogunate, and voted for Sun Chuanfang. He was a guest of honor at Zhang Xueliang's throne. Tang Shengzhi opposed Jiang. He secretly made an idea. After Tang failed, he was thrown into prison. As a result, Xu Zhimo carried his luggage and wanted to go to jail with him. It caused a sensation.

He was very unlucky during the Xi'an Incident. When Chiang Kai-shek went to Xi'an, he did not take him there. He came back from Europe to inspect the military. However, he ran to Xi'an the day before the incident to report to Chiang Kai-shek. Naturally, he was detained. After Zhang Xueliang launched a military remark, he hoped that the central officials in the place where he was detained also signed the letter in their place. Naturally, no one was willing to sign it. But he, the man who had just returned from Europe, signed it. This naturally attracted Chiang Kai-shek to hold a grudge. It was already lenient enough to send him to Chongqing.

"You have no objection. Of course, I have no objection either. It's just that I have too many things to do. I'm afraid I don't have much time to stay in school. You always have to take care of it." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

"Cultural Revolution, don't be humble. We have been to Chongqing for so many days and we have talked about it for so many days. To be honest, I have only summarized the strategy against Japan for decades, but you have already implemented it. I am ashamed of myself at your age." Having said that, Jiang Baili's face was full of smiles.

After he arrived in Chongqing, he talked with Zhuang Jihua several times and showed him the "On National Defense" he wrote. Zhuang Jihua was very surprised because he proposed to exchange space for time and implement a lasting strategy. At the same time, he proposed to start a war in Shanghai, attract the main force of the Japanese army to advance west along the Yangtze River, and finally form a stalemate with the Japanese army in western Hunan and Hubei. This is completely the development process of the War of Resistance Against Japan in the future. What surprised Zhuang Jihua even more was that in the book, he clearly compared the differences between China and Europe and the United States. The characteristics of China's agricultural countries and agricultural countries are scattered, and losing urban ports is not enough to make China lose its resistance.

After reading this book, Zhuang Jihua was very suspicious whether this guy was a time travel clan, but when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. What he did was not in line with the rules of the time travel clan.

Zhuang Jihua then turned to discuss the strategies and tactics of the War of Resistance with him. He pointed out that Japan's weakness was insufficient troops and insufficient national strength, so it could only occupy China's points and lines. There were a large number of blank areas in these points and lines, which were suitable for the development of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Combining war behind enemy lines with frontal combat can effectively consume the strength of the Japanese army.

Zhuang Jihua's argument inspired Jiang Baili. The two of them exchanged fluids, and this statement lasted for three days. In these three days, they talked about your strategy and tactics, and talked about the strategic and tactics of future wars. Jiang Baili praised the Air Force, and Zhuang Jihua emphasized the air-ground coordination between tanks and air force, and believed that future wars will no longer reproduce the trench war in Europe, and will be lightning bolts caused by armor.

Zhuang Jihua's view is very novel. Jiang Baili visited Europe not long ago and Germany once talked with German generals. Zhuang Jihua's view is very similar to theirs. He also recognized this view, but did not support this view. Therefore, in his national defense theory, Germany's armor tactics were not mentioned, but only Du Hei's air force strategy was mentioned.

It was with the church that Jiang Baili was not at all dissatisfied with being the chief instructor of Chongqing Branch. On the contrary, he was deeply dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua as the deputy director of the Southwest Pacification Office, and believed that Zhuang Jihua should go to the central government and serve as the chief of staff. Zhuang Jihua laughed and said that he did not want to go to the muddy waters in Nanjing. When Chiang Kai-shek was in Xikou, he also asked him to go to Nanjing and serve as the commander of Nanjing's security. Zhuang Jihua also refused for the same reason. He would rather do something practical in Sichuan.

"Principal, what the Cultural Revolution said was the truth, don't refuse at that time." He also smiled apologized. The principal he called was Jiang Baili, a student of Baoding Military Academy. Although Jiang Baili had already left the school when he entered the school, Baoding Military Academy still called him the principal.

"In the Cultural Revolution, don't do everything by yourself, everyone will do it." Jiang Baili smiled.

"General, you are wrong about me. Now I am just turning my energy to the army and trying to train a new army as soon as possible." Zhuang Jihua looked up at the soldiers training in the camp. Most of these soldiers were veterans and came from Liu Xiang's army.

According to the plan that had been agreed upon, two of the three divisions of Liu Xiang's troops, Guo Xunqi and Rao Guohua's troops, formed two divisions of the New 102nd Army, and the other division was Wang Mingzhang's troops in Tian Songyao's troops. These three divisions had already entered Chongqing and were stationed at the Xinpaifang west of the base, Renhe, Jiangbei, and under Eling Mountain.

"I want to talk about military training and the Cultural Revolution." Jiang Baili said: "There are big problems with your organization."

Zhuang Jihua was stunned. He also talked about the new army during the three days of conversation, but he didn't talk in detail, mainly about strategies and tactics, military-industrial enterprises, and wartime economy. But unexpectedly, just a few days later, Jiang Baili said that there were major problems with his troops.

Before Zhuang Jihua could speak, Jiang Baili continued: "You only pay attention to strengthening the firepower of the two teams, so the company is equipped with heavy machine gun mortars, but have you thought about how to replenish it in the future? The transportation near Chongqing is convenient and easy to replenish. You practice many times in actual combat, and you can put the ammunition on the eastern battlefield. Can you do it? Take a heavy machine gun as an example, a heavy machine gun squad, eight people, three spare barrels, baffles, gun racks, two hundred and fifty bullets and one chain of bullets, eight people are responsible for this machine gun. Such a heavy machine gun often cannot keep up with the attack speed when attacking," Jiang Baili

Li shook his head and said, "You actually equipped two and sixty mortars. This was of great use, but you only equipped two. The 82 mortars are long-range firepower and should have been placed in the battalion, but you put them in the company. I suggest you put the support firepower in the battalion, form a machine gun platoon in the battalion, and set up two heavy machine guns and three 82 mortars. In addition, howitzers and cannons, I suggest canceling cannons. It is too heavy and transporting is inconvenient. Large caliber artillery, I suggest building 105 howitzers, and giving up the others. Those 130 and 150 are not very useful, just cancel them."
