Section 4 Clouds (7)
When Wen Yi saw Zhuang Jihua coming towards him, he had calmed down and understood that with the mistake he made in the Xi'an Incident, it was already very good to get the result of today.
"Commander." Deng Wenyi raised his hand and saluted Zhuang Jihua. His military rank was directly pulled from the lieutenant general to the major. When he saw many juniors, he had to salute him, but this military rank was the back door opened by Zhuang Jihua using his power.
After returning a greeting, Zhuang Jihua said, "Xuebing, when we are both, we should call me the Cultural Revolution. This is really too distant to call me.
”
Zhuang Jihua spoke very sincerely, but Deng Wenyi felt a little uncomfortable. She used to be called, but now, Zhuang Jihua said softly: "In fact, what is the name of a small thing, but the state of mind is the most important. When An Ding came to Chongqing, he was very good."
Deng Wenyi smiled bitterly. Li Anding was almost killed by them. If it weren't for Zhuang Jihua, his bones would have been rotten. Unexpectedly, he would have fallen to this point today.
"Life is like this. Don't relax when you are proud, don't be discouraged when you are frustrated, especially don't sink. Xuebing, for two years, is at the grassroots level. When the principal's temper disappears, the students will talk about love. Then you will be able to achieve great success." Zhuang Jihua felt that Deng Wenyi is still a talented person. This time he went to Jiangbei to recruit soldiers. In a short period of time, he actually recruited nearly 10,000 people, and it was not obtained by catching strong men. This is very rare.
"Xuebing, I plan to set up a liaison office in Wuhan, the liaison office of the 49th Group Army. Would you like to be the director of this liaison office?"
Deng Wenyi's heart was slightly calm. It was of course a good thing to go to Wuhan, at least it was better than rural farmhouses. He could go to Wuhan with his current status and so many acquaintances.
"Anding suffered a lot in Panzhihua and Xi, but that was because the principal had something to say. What about you, the principal said nothing. Since he didn't say anything, he could arrange you anywhere." Zhuang Jihua explained that he didn't want to arrange Deng Wenyi to Chongqing or Yunnan. Deng Wenyi was offended too many people in public and secretly. Li Anding in the Southwest Development Team would not say anything, and Li Zhilong could not give him a good face, so he could only let him go to Wuhan.
"What are the jobs in the liaison office?" Deng Wenyi still wanted to ask clearly. In just this moment, he probably wanted to do it. He Zhonghan and the others were also in Wuhan. Someone can discuss what happens in the future.
"It is mainly a logistics department. It makes requests to the logistics department. It transfers wounded soldiers, recruits new soldiers, and coordinates relations with all parties." Zhuang Jihua said. In fact, the liaison office was a place where he observed the political situation in Wuhan. Secondly, the most important thing he paid was to recruit new soldiers. In this era, since there are no reserves in most areas, it is a big problem to supplement new soldiers. Some miscellaneous generals took the simplest way - to catch strong men, which made people angry and resentful.
"In addition, you should pay attention to the situation in northern Hubei. It is best to take time to run." Zhuang Jihua lowered his voice and put his head closer to Deng Wenyi: "After the war on Jinpu Road, the next battle will inevitably turn to Wuhan. North Hubei will sooner or later be included in the fifth zone."
Deng Wenyi no longer hesitated when she heard this: "Okay. I'll go."
Zhuang Jihua nodded with satisfaction: "Okay. You can prepare for it. In a few days, the appointment will be issued."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Deng Wenyi. Deng Wenyi suddenly called him and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Cultural Revolution. Thank you. But I don't understand. Why do you want to help me?"
In the end, it was Zhuang Jihua who helped him. To be honest, Deng Wenyi himself did not expect that in his opinion, he and Zhuang Jihua had some disagreements since school, and there was no conflict on the outside, but the two sides fought several times in secret. Later, Deng Wenyi presided over the deaths of Huangpu Prayer Party, Yang Qigang, Xiong Xiong and other classmates, and Zhuang Jihua refused to forgive him after returning to China, so he always thought that his relationship with Zhuang Jihua was not very good, but this time, it was Zhuang Jihua who caused a huge disaster in the end.
"There are not many brothers sleeping in the sunken shed at the beginning." Zhuang Jihua sighed. Deng Wenyi was either not capable, but unfortunately he was too utilitarian. Looking at Deng Wenyi's face with a little ashamed, Zhuang Jihua paused: "After arriving in Wuhan, keep a low profile, let the principal forget you for the time being."
Deng Wenyi nodded, but at this time he didn't quite understand why Chiang Kai-shek wanted to forget him temporarily. After arriving in Wuhan, he only understood the meaning of this sentence after talking to He Zhonghan. It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek's anger at him was so fierce, and he immediately gave up the idea of making a comeback in a short period of time.
After leaving Deng Wenyi, Zhuang Jihua went to the hospital to see Zhao Hanjie. Zhao Hanjie and Song Yunfei came back one after another. They brought back a total of 366 people, 22 people killed, and 31 people stayed in the third war zone to recover. Zhao Hanjie was also injured, but he was not seriously injured and insisted on returning with the troops.
The special forces fought for the first time, and the results were huge. In the end, they almost cut off the logistics supply line of the Japanese army on the southern front. Song Yunfei also turned the north. No Japanese army on the Beijing-Shanghai line dared not go out at all.
"Recover the wound as soon as possible, don't wander around here. Being hurt is not honest if you are injured." Zhuang Jihua was angry and heartbroken when he saw Zhao Hanjie walking in the garden wrapped in a bandage. In his heart, Song Yunfei, Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie were no longer just subordinates, but brothers and brothers. Seeing them injured, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. This discomfort made him a little strange. Back then, so many subordinates died in Zhangmutou and Niu Xing, and although they were sad, they were not uncomfortable.
"Commander, it's okay, this small injury will be cured soon." Zhao Hanjie smiled and moved his injured arm, showing off to Zhuang Jihua: "Commander, when will the next battle begin?"
"Recover the wound first, don't think about it," Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "He is almost thirty years old and he is not honest. He will make his home next time he goes home."
"Hehe, I'm such a poor soldier..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua interrupted him: "Stop talking about anything else, I'm all lieutenant colonels, hundreds of brothers under him, hundreds of salaries a month, and poor people to serve in the army."
According to the salary of the officer **, the lieutenant colonel's salary is 18 yuan, but the salary of the special forces is twice that of other troops. Zhao Hanjie's salary is more than 300 yuan. If he catches up with the major general, he is definitely not a poor soldier.
"Hehe." Zhao Hanjie touched his head and stopped talking. Zhuang Jihua knew that Zhao Hanjie never used money indiscriminately, and his salary was at most dozens of yuan. The rest was sent home, for fear that he would die in the battle and that no one would take care of his parents, brothers and sisters at home.
"Isn't it good to marry a wife and take care of their parents at home?" Zhuang Jihua was a little disappointed. The old brothers in the past were him. He turned his head and cursed at Wu Ziniu and said, "And you, you are not in a good position all day long."
Wu Ziniu widened his eyes and muttered dissatisfiedly that what does it have to do with me? Why did he come to me again, but he didn't dare to say anything, just stared at Zhao Hanjie with his eyes, and Zhao Hanjie was secretly happy.
"And you, Lu Ruishan, it's time for you to get married."
In the end, Zhuang Jihua scolded all three of them. He suddenly remembered the two female slaves accepted by Panzhihua. Are they not suitable? Zhao Hanjie, Lu Ruishan, one of them, and said that: "I'll find one for you in the future. It's nothing you have to do, you cow."
When Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Xuzhou, Han Fu naturally could not stay in Jinan anymore. He also went to Xuzhou. This was the first time Zhuang Jihua saw this guy who dared to challenge Chiang Kai-shek.
Han Fu gave him the impression that he thought, both rude and shrewd. Zhuang Jihua tried to communicate with him, but this kid didn't get into it. Whenever he got to the key points, he would talk to him, leaving Zhuang Jihua helpless. Perhaps he felt that the atmosphere was wrong. Before Chiang Kai-shek left, Han Fu ran back to Jinan urgently on the excuse of military intelligence.
Han Fu never came back after leaving and put Li Zongren in Xuzhou. Li Zongren had no choice but to discuss with Zhuang Jihua and decided to hold an operational meeting in early May to determine the combat plan of this theater.
This is not a large-scale combat meeting, but a small-scale meeting. Most generals are still outside Xuzhou City, and at this meeting, they finally decided to gradually resist and lure the enemy into combat.
"According to the changes in the Japanese army's military strength, the Japanese army on the southern front may go north with three to four divisions, with Li Pinxian as the commander-in-chief of the southern front, responsible for commanding all the troops on the southern front, including the 21st Army, the 11th Army, the 57th Army, the 89th Army of Han Deqin, and the 46th Army of Fan Songpu and the 92nd Army of Li Xianzhou, with a total force of nearly 100,000."
Listening to the schronograph number reported by Li Zongren, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although these troops were large, most of them were incomplete. The 57th Army. The 46th Army and the 92nd Army participated in the Battle of Songhu. The troops suffered heavy losses and retreated early. They have not recovered their vitality so far. The 11th Army has a schronograph number, and the actual force is only one thirty-first Army. Li Zongren's last sentence, the total force is close to 100,000, which already shows this problem. According to the ** organization, the force of one army and the territory is more than 30,000, and now the seven armies are less than 100,000.
"This is not possible. The combat area on the southern front is very large. The Japanese attack route has not been discovered. Both northern Jiangsu and Huainan have to defend. This is not enough troops and must increase troops." Zhuang Jihua said.
"Jiaodong is scheduled to give up. Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army was transferred to Huaian, northern Jiangsu, Han Deqin's 89th Army was stationed in Yancheng, and the 57th Army was responsible for the front line of Taizhou and Xinghua. If it encounters attack from the Japanese army, it can gradually retreat to Yancheng, meet with Han Deqin's 89th Army to defend together."
"In the Huainan area, Liu Ruming's 68th Army was transferred to the county to be responsible for the defense of the front line, the 21st Army was responsible for the defense of Bengbu, the 11th Army was responsible for the defense of the north bank of Chihe River to Dingyuan, and the 92nd Army of Li Xianzhou was responsible for the defense of Chaohu area. After contact with the enemy, the 68th Army and the 92nd Army could gradually retreat to the north bank of Chihe River, and meet with the 11th Army on the north bank of Chihe River. The entire southern line was based on the Huai River as the final resistance line.
”
"The Chen Dingxun's troops of the 45th Army were transferred from the 22nd Group Army to guard Suxian and serve as the general reserve team of the southern line. The troops shall not be transferred without orders from the War Zone Command."
Zhuang Jihua basically agreed with Li Zongren's deployment on the southern line. This deployment was light at the beginning and heavy at the end, gradually luring the enemy into depth, and finally with Bengbu as the core, the last resistance line.
But the most important thing is the defense of the northern line. Li Zongren calmed for a moment and finally spoke: "The defense of the northern line of Jinpu Road is divided into three layers. The first line is the south bank of the Yellow River, and the focus is on the extreme of Jinan. Commander-in-Chief Han of the Third Army is responsible for the specific implementation, Pang Bingxun's unit of the Fifth Army is responsible for the defense of the water to: county line. The 22nd Army (owing the 45th Army) is responsible for the defense of the area. The 24th Army of Sun Lianzhong is responsible for the defense of the front line of Qufu and Yanzhou, which is the second line of defense of the war zone; the near Xuzhou is the last line of defense of our war zone. The 69th Army of Shiyou is stationed in Juye Yuncheng to prevent the Japanese attack from the northern wing. The 49th Army of Zaozhuang Lincheng County is responsible for the outer line of Xuzhou, and the 24th Army of Xuzhou is responsible for the extremely near defense line of Xuzhou."
Seeing that Zhuang Jihua seemed to be in a low mood, Li Zongren asked in confusion: "What? Is it inappropriate to the Cultural Revolution?"
"I'm confused. The power of the three places in the northern wing is too weak. If the Japanese army finds this weakness, they can attack from the northern wing. In addition, the counterattack and reserve team deployed may be the 24th Army, right?"
Li Zongren nodded, and Zhuang Jihua said again: "My opinion is to use the North Wing as the counterattack launcher, and place the Forty-Nine Army with the strongest attack power here, Shiyou's 369th Army is placed in Yanzhou, and Sun Lianzhong is placed in the periphery of Xuzhou. When the Japanese attacked, Shiyou's three troops retreated to Jiaxiang and met with the Forty-Nine Army, rather than retreating to Xuzhou."
Unable to make up his mind, he turned his attention to Xu Zuyi and Jiang Baili, the deputy commander of Jiang Baili's regiment army, who was actually Gaoshen, but his reputation was too high. When Bai Chongxi arrived in Xuzhou, he also held a disciple's courtesy and took great care of him.
"Commander Li, this deployment is a bit gentle and stable, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a competition between the two sides. The deployment of the Cultural Revolution is somewhat risky, but the possibility of success is greater." Jiang Baili said bluntly, regardless of Li Zongren's face: "In addition, the reserve team is not enough to rely on a 24th Army alone, so it is better to transfer some troops. I feel that the Japanese army on the North Line may have more than four or five divisions."
Li Zongren felt a little depressed. In this defensive battle, the strategic thinking was from Zhuang Jihua, and the specific deployment was from Zhuang Jihua, so he became his front performer, and he was the director behind him.
Xu Zuyi also said at this time: "Dong De, the Forty-Ninth Army has three complete armies and two ** divisions, with a total force of about 120,000. If the Japanese army attacked Xuzhou, they would attack the Japanese army from the flanks, which would have a stronger lethality against the Japanese army. In addition, Zhang Zizhong of the 59th Army was on the way, and the chairman was considering whether to transfer Tang Enbo's 20th Army to our war zone. If you urge them, these two troops could serve as reserves."
"Okay, that's it." Li Zongren made up his mind.
On the same day, Li Zongren ordered Yu Xuezhong to give up the transfer of Qingdao to Huai'an to prevent Huai'an, and Qingdao's defense was handed over to Qingdao Mayor and Third Fleet Commander Shen Honglie, and at the same time ordered him to blow up all Japanese factories in Qingdao. However, Zhuang Jihua later learned that Shen Honglie had sold all Japanese factory machines in Qingdao, and the money he earned attracted more than 5,000 soldiers and formed a Jiaodong Security Brigade.
The 59th Army, which needs additional explanation here, was adapted from a unit of the 29th Army. In March, the soldiers of the 59th Army were ordered to be transferred to the fifth war zone, but the soldiers of the 59th Army were determined to not move and asked their commander Zhang Zizhong to return.
When the 29th Army retreated from Pingjin, Zhang Zizhong was ordered to negotiate with the Japanese army in Tianjin, and successfully covered the 29th Army withdrawing from Tianjin. However, the public opinion across the country scolded Zhang Zizhong for selling his country and wanting to kill him to thank the world. After Zhang Zizhong escaped from Tianjin, he was detained in prison, but the 29th Army shouted that he was wronged. Song Zheyuan also sent Chiang Kai-shek to express his injustice, indicating that Zhang Zhizhong's negotiations with Japan were ordered by his own place and was ordered. Chiang Kai-shek also knew that Zhang Zizhong was wronged, but he had to explain to the public opinion, so he kept detaining Zhang Zizhong and did not deal with it.
The 59th Army refused to be ordered. Li Zongren took advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's arrival in Xuzhou and pleaded with Chiang Kai-shek in person. Chiang Kai-shek also took the opportunity to let Zhang Zizhong go back and continued to serve as the commander of the 59th Army. As soon as Zhang Zizhong arrived in the national crisis, the 59th Army immediately set off and was on the way to Xuzhou.
As for Tang Enbo's 20th Army, they retreated to Henan after a bloody battle in Nankou. The army was under the command of two armies, Guan Linzheng, the 85th Army of Wang Zhonglian, the 52nd Army. These two troops were elite troops of the Central Army, and Guan Linzheng's army was also the All-German Armed Army.
The 20th Army was the main force of the War Zone. If this force was removed, the 29th Army and the Feng Zhi'an Ministry, Shang Zhen Ministry, and Zhao Shoushan Army of the former 17th Route Army would be left. There would be a few new divisions left. If the Japanese army launched an attack at this time, it would be difficult to stop the War Zone. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek hesitated and did not dare to make this decision.
In Shanghai, the sky in May is drizzling gently, the sky is a little gray, and there is gentle music floating in Mengfei Cafe. Wang Xiaoshan and a middle-aged man in a light yellow suit sit together. The two of them slowly stir the cup of coffee and look at the fine raindrops outside the window.
"I'll leave it to you in the future," Wang Xiaoshan said softly, Huang Suit opposite nodded: "Remember, sir means not to be involved with any other forces, do not take any action, there cannot be a radio station here, and the password and the radio station must be separated."
"Don't worry, Xiaoshan, why did you become a mother-in-law? You didn't do that back then." Huang Suit said with a smile.
Wang Xiaoshan smiled. Huang Suit was his old acquaintance. One of the eighteen arhats of that time, they rescued Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming in Wuhan together. But a few months later, Huang Suit left without saying goodbye. From then on, he left the military intelligence circle and political circles and turned to business. Although he did not become a huge wealth, his life was also good. A few years ago, Wang Xiaoshan accidentally met him in Shanghai and then contacted him again.
Wang Xiaoshan knew that Zhuang Jihua would not keep him in Shanghai, so when he set up a contact point in Shanghai, he began to look for someone to replace him. He remembered his old friend the most, and Huang Suit did not disappoint his hope, so he agreed as soon as he mentioned it.
"He's here." A waiter pushed the door and whispered.
"Please come over." Wang Xiaoshan said calmly, and the waiter turned around and went out. After a while, Daze Magoro came in. Wang Xiaoshan stood up and stretched out his hand to him. Daze Magoro looked at the stranger sitting next to him in confusion.
"Actually you have seen it," Wang Xiaoshan said with a smile: "I have been together for a few months, but you were all covered in your face at that time."
Daze smiled and he knew in his heart that since Wang Xiaoshan brought this person, it means that this person has an important connection with his work in the future and is likely to host this contact point. He stretched out his hand to Huang Suit: "Kim Zhihao, the descendant tiger, is now called Daze Magoro."
"Contemplative Luo Han Luo Wending." Huang Suit held Daze's hand.
After letting go of Luo Wending's hand, Osawa said anxiously: "I bring an important piece of information. The Central China Front Army decided to launch an attack on the Jinpu Line South Road in late May. The total strength of four divisions, please inform Mr. immediately."
Chapter completed!
