Xigu hesitated and eventually turned bad, Zhou Gang came to Laolao to discuss and transferred Li Diannong to Chongqing to eat... experience to identify the Chongqing underground party and the Xia Party organization in eastern Sichuan, and review the organization members.

Zhou Enlai thought about it and did not reply immediately. He just nodded slightly: "I will discuss with him whether Comrade Kenong will go to Chongqing. However, this time it is to set up an Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing. You must first set up a staff member. What is prepared in advance are the publicity department, logistics department, cadre department, and candidates for office directors, to be determined."

Before the evening, Li Kenong returned to the office and was immediately called to Zhou Gang's office without any greetings. Zhou Enlai asked him directly if he could obtain accurate information about the infiltration of the underground party in Chongqing.

"It's very difficult," Li Kenong said after thinking about it: "Zhuang Jihua himself is an intelligence expert, and all the information is in the hands of the Southwest Development Team. There are people on duty in the archives room for 24 hours and they are unable to contact them at all." Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Vice Chairman Zhou, let me go to Chongqing, maybe I can find some clues."

"I have this idea too, I ask the central government for advice." Zhou nodded. Chongqing's territory is becoming more and more important now, but the party's work has been unable to develop for a long time, which made him very anxious. The infiltration of underground party organizations in Chongqing is an important reason.

Setting up an office in Chongqing to support underground activities with an open organization is only one of the reasons. Another important reason is that he judged that although Yucheng's counterattack was victorious, the entire Jinpu Road combat suffered heavy losses. The Japanese army's recovery ability exceeded that of the squadron, and their next attack would inevitably target Wuhan. There are still great changes in whether the squadron can defend Wuhan.

Once Wuhan is lost, the base camp will definitely withdraw to Chongqing, and the establishment of an office in Chongqing is to prepare for this. However, Li Kenong's situation is special. His whereabouts must be approved by the central government and must be reported to the central government.

The Central Committee called back that night, agreeing to Li Kenong to go to Chongqing and serve as the director of the Chongqing Office of the Eighth Route Army. However, the Central Committee reminded them to pay attention to their working methods in Chongqing. Xinhua Daily should be published in Chongqing as soon as possible and try to grasp the progress of the Southwest Development Team.

"Kenon, are there anyone in the Southwest Development Team?"

Li Kenong understood Zhou's meaning. The original personnel in the Southwest Development Team must not be used. Even if they were not arrested, they were under surveillance. What he wanted was the new Southwest Development Team, which was not exposed.

"Yes, but the level is very low, and I'm still studying in a cadre school."

Zhou Xuelai nodded with a little regret: "You are ready to go to Chongqing in two days and you must open up the situation in Chongqing as soon as possible. You cannot be dead forever like this."

Chiang Kai-shek, who had always remained silent, finally could not remain silent. In early April, Chiang Kai-shek led a large number of military and political officials to Xuchang to convene a joint meeting of the 15th War Zone, and at the same time reviewed tactics and formulated a combat strategy against Japan in 1939. Commanders and some commanders of the 15th War Zone Group Army and some commanders attended this important combat meeting.

At this meeting, Chiang Kai-shek first praised the meritorious personnel in the second Jinpu Road battle. Zhuang Jihua and others received another Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and then reorganized the army.

Sun Lianzhong, commander of the Second Army, was appointed as deputy commander of the Fifth War Zone, and assigned Liu Ruming's troops to the Second Army, and Sun Lianzhong was still the commander of the Second Army.

Wei Lihuang was appointed as the deputy commander of the First War Zone. He also served as the commander of the 14th Army, and the Zhongtiaoshan area was placed under the jurisdiction of the First War Zone.

Wei Yunhong's troops of the 11th Army were assigned to command of Liao Lei, the 21st Army, and the position of commander Li Pinxian, was revoked. In this way, the 21st Army had three armies, the Seventh Army, the Forty-Eighth Army, and the Thirty-One Army.

The new 11th Army was formed by the 71st Army, the 72nd Army and the 74th Army, with Yu Jishi as commander, Wang Jingjiu as deputy commander, and the commander of the 74th Army was replaced by Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division.

The First Army, the 27th Army and the 34th Army formed in the 90th year, Hu Zongnan served as the commander of the army. In the 90th year, he was formed by the security regiment directly under the Pacification Office stationed in Henan. The former commander Zhang Jinzhi was transferred. Li Wen took over as the commander, and he was under the command of the two divisions of X Gu and Peng. After the formation of the army, the army did not participate in the major battles and was stationed in the river defense west of Zhengzhou. Gui Yongqing, the commander of the 27th Army, was transferred, and Fan Hanjie was replaced.

The 20th year regiment number was abolished and changed to the 31st Army, the commander of the Army, Tang Enbo, deputy commander Guan Linzheng, and under the jurisdiction of the 13th Army, Zhang Xuezhong, the commander of the 52nd Army, Guan Linzheng, and the commander of the 85th Army. Wang Zhonglian.

The 31st Army is all the Central Army. It is organized in the three-three system and has strong strength.

The 78th Army and the 8th Army were reorganized into the 36th Army, with Song Xiqian as commander, Huang Jie, the commander of the 8th Army, and Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the 2nd Division of the 52nd Army.

The number of Ran Army in the first episode was abolished, the 58th Army and the 77th Army, and was formed into the 33rd Army in the 40th year. Commander Zhang Zizhong and Deputy Commander Feng Zhian. This army was mainly a miscellaneous army. The three armies were the former Northwest Army system, with Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhian still colleagues of the 29th Army, with only Pang Bingxun exception.

The rapid column was abolished, and Qiu Qingquan's troops returned to the 200th Division. In the 60th year, they formed the 50th Army with the 58th Army. Du Xingming served as the commander of the army. In the 60th year, the commander was taken over by Wang Guobin.

Although the Fifty Group Army and the Forty-Nine Group Army have only two armies, the troops are all organized in the three-three system, with a total force of up to 100,000. The only one who can compare with them is Tang Enbo's 31st Group.

After the reorganization of the troops, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the generals and defense zones to the south of Xunqiu. The First War Zone was responsible for the defense north of Xunqiu. The South of Shangqiu, including Shangqiu, Guizhayikou, currently stationed in the north of Shangqiu, the 23rd Army, the 31st Army, and the Third Army Zaiqiuyi War Zone commanded.

In view of the inconvenience of command from Shandong, Jiangsu Province, the Sulu War Zone was established, with Huang Shaofa as the commander and the chairman of Jiangsu Province. The chairman of Shandong Province was still Shen Honglie.

The Shandong troops were reorganized into the third column, with the commander of Qin Qirong, and Zhou Jing, the commander of the 75th Army, was appointed as the commander of Shandong Security.

The troops under Shandong and Jiangsu are unified commanded by Huang Shaofa.

The headquarters of the Fifth War Zone moved to Xincai, Henan, and the jurisdiction was changed as follows: to Shangqiu, Zhoukou, and Shenhe to the north; to Fengxian and Huainan to the east; to the south to the north of the Yangtze River.

The ninth war zone was newly established, and the war zone commander Chen Cheng was responsible for the defense of the south bank of the Yangtze River. He was removed from the position of Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief of the first war zone, and appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Day and also as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy.

The 11th Army, the 10th Army, and the 24th Army. The 26th Army joined the Ninth War Zone. Wang Lingji must form the 30th Army within three months. After the formation is completed, he will head to Wuhan to join the Ninth War Zone.

This was a large-scale adjustment, among which Chen Cheng and the Guizhou clan were the biggest winners. Although the Guangxi clan lost one army organization, Li Zongren obtained three army forces, and Huang Shaofa, who was close to the Guangxi clan, got the commander of the war zone. Chen Cheng even won four army forces in one fell swoop, plus the original 19th Army, 200 Division and other troops, the total strength of the 9th war zone reached 600,000.

On the contrary, the biggest loser can be said to be Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua lost not only the five armies and the territory of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces. What’s more important is the loss of half of eastern Henan, which is a major blow to the social reform he is carrying out.

Now the Fifth War Zone is only left with his Forty-Ninth Army, Du Xingming's Fifty Army, Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, Deng Xihou's Twenty-Two Army, Hu Zongnan's Thirty-Fourth Army, Zhang Zizhong's Thirty-Three Army, and Song Xijian's Thirty-Six Army.

Of course, Zhuang Jihua was not completely out of nothing. He obtained one kilogram of army and one kilogram of small division, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division were reorganized into the 103rd Army, of which the New 22nd Division was reorganized into the A-type Division, and was transferred from Xianning, Hubei to the Fifth War Zone, and the Preparatory Second Division commander Chen Mingren.

This transfer made Zhuang Jihua a little confused. Chen Mingren was a classmate of the first class of Huangyu, but this person was relatively silent and not good at socializing. He had never heard of anyone he had a good relationship with. What Zhuang Jihua knew was that he was the first to climb to the city of Huizhou. It was not that he was dissatisfied with Chen Mingren, after all, he was also his classmate. The key was that this transfer was a bit unreasonable. To increase troops to the fifth war zone, you only need to leave one unit or expand one unit, and there was no need to transfer from Xianning.

He secretly asked He Yingqin if Chen Mingren offended Chen Cheng. He Yingqin nodded slightly. Chen Mingren was too strong and had a bad relationship with his superiors. He had a quarrel with Jiang Dingwen under Jiang Dingwen, was dismissed and studied at the Army University. After graduation, he served as the chief of staff, but later he simply stopped giving him the chief of staff and became a senator. He was probably the first classmate to join the senator among the first class.

However, He Yingqin appreciated him more. He first brought him to the Ministry of Military Affairs to be responsible for inspecting Hunan, Jiangxi and Xisi. Last year, he recommended him as the commander of the Second Division. This Jin Xiaoshi was adapted from the Ran Hunan and Hubei security regiments. The number of people in the entire division was still many. The sixth regiment of the two brigades, plus the direct troops, there were 12,000 people, but the equipment was not enough. The entire division only had twelve mortars and twelve combat defense artillery.

"Ziliang is a general, He Yingqin said softly, Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, as long as he can fight, he can make up for it if he is not well equipped.

"Teacher He, I want another teacher." Zhuang Jihua asked in a low voice: "You are in charge of the editor, can you help me get one?"

He Yingqin thought about it, and slightly shook his head. Zhuang Jihua smiled gratefully, turned his head to continue listening to Chiang Kai-shek's speech on the stage.

After the meeting ended, Chiang Kai-shek left a few generals with a brief discussion as usual. Li Zongren, the commander of the First War Zone, was naturally present, and Zhuang Jihua was also kept.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think of this adjustment?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"The Fifth War Zone weakened too much." Zhuang Jihua did not shy away: "Basically speaking, the next battle was aimed at defending Wuhan. The Japanese army's attack on Wuhan was divided into three ways, one was to go through the First War Zone and head south along the Pinghan Line; the other was to go north of the Yangtze River and cross the Dabie Mountains, and another was to go up the south bank of the Yangtze River. The first two roads were related to the Fifth War Zone, and the Fifth War Zone was vast. This was insufficient in military strength.

"In my opinion, the possibility of the Japanese crossing the Dabie Mountains is very small. The terrain of the Dabie Mountains is complex, which is conducive to defense but not to attack." Chen Cheng answered before Chiang Kai-shek spoke first: "What's more, the reputation of the Fifth War Zone has been revealed, and Jiang Ran's defense is weak. If the Japanese army attacks with the main force, it will be difficult to stop it by relying solely on the current troops."

"I agree with this, but" Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said: "Minister Chen, I thought that before the Five War Zones were broken, the Japanese army in Jiangnan dared to go up the river with their main force. In my opinion, the Yangtze River is two battlefields, both divided by the Yangtze River and connected by the Yangtze River. Until today, we have not received any information about the large-scale increase in the Japanese army."

Zhuang Jihua's hint is very obvious. If the Japanese army in North China or Jiangnan increases its troops on a large scale, it will definitely not be able to hide the support of Tachibana, nor will it be possible to hide it from Daze.

"If the Japanese army draws troops from Xuzhou to attack, aren't we worried about launching a counterattack in Xuzhou? So if the Japanese army wants to attack, it is the first to attack from Xuhui. Compared with the vast territory of the Fifth War Zone, this little force is a bit dusty."

Chiang Kai-shek came out to smooth things out: "Let's do this, leave two armies near Wuhan as a mobile phone, let's talk about the others."

This arrangement is nothing to Chen Cheng. He was the commander of Wuhan City Defense. These two armies were still under his control. If they were to be mobilized, they had to obtain his consent.

Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to know that Chiang Kai-shek came to target the Fifth War Zone this time. After all, the Fifth War Zone was too powerful, and most of the elite squadrons were elite. Chen Cheng had long been jealous. He Yingqin told him that Chen Cheng even proposed to let him serve as the chairman of Sichuan Province and he would take over the Fifth War Zone.

district.

"Commander Li, the social reform in eastern Henan has just been halfway through Zhuang Jihua said to Li Zongren: "Don't abandon it halfway

"Don't worry." Li Zongren comforted generously: "I have been paying attention to the social reform in eastern Henan. I originally wanted to wait for a while to see how effective it is. Since I have the opportunity to practice it, it is naturally the best." He frowned slightly as he said: "But, according to your plan, what should I do next?"

"Consolidate rent reduction and interest reduction in rural areas" Zhuang Jihua said without hesitation: "In addition, grassroots organization construction in cities and cultivating young cadres is also the top priority. The purpose of grassroots organization construction in cities is to organize urban residents, and grassroots organizations must go deep into every street.

Organizing the people is only the first step, and then various anti-Japanese groups must be organized, such as Women's Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Congress, Workers' Rescue Congress, and the elderly must also be organized. Suggesting the people's anti-Japanese groups closely around the government can enhance the prestige of the government and facilitate the issuance of government decrees.

In this process, the party organization must play its main role. In the process of organizing the people's groups, the role of the party organization must be throughout the process. The leader of the people's organizations must be members of the Kuomintang or members inclined to our party. In addition, the way of promotion of officials must be reformed, and those who are unwilling to go to the grassroots level should be gradually excluded and transferred from the leadership position.

Degong, it should be noted that our party has always been unwilling to go deep into the masses. Old party members are used to doing things in the office. My approach is to boldly activate young people, give them support, and let them charge. But this is likely to arouse opposition from old party members with vested interests. At this time, you must unswervingly support these powerful charges."

"That's how you do it in Chongqing." Bai Chongxi asked calmly. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied when he promoted Chongqing. He believed that even if Guangxi's industry was not as good as Chongqing, the organization of Guangxi's society would never be worse than Chongqing. However, after actually visiting Chongqing, he had to admit that even social organizations could not match.

“Yes, the beginning doesn’t matter, the important beginning after the beginning

It was the first time everyone present heard Zhuang Jihua talk about how he organized Chongqing citizens. They all showed a focused look. Zhuang Jihua didn't hide his own personal difficulties. "Tell Li Zongren in detail about the various difficulties he encountered and how to overcome these difficulties, especially how to develop youth to join the party, what role should the Three Youth League play in it, and how to attract mass groups to the government.

Surrounding.

After he finished speaking, Bai Chongxi couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, no wonder others said that Xibi is not as good as Chongqing. Your reforms completely touched all levels of society."

"But is it appropriate to carry out such a large-scale social reform in the current situation of such a tense situation?" Chen Cheng was still a little suspicious, but this was not a doubt whether it should be carried out, but a doubt about the timing.

"Oh, it is precisely because of this that I have to carry out Zhuang Jihua sighed: "After Yucheng counterattack, the Japanese may give us three months to half a year. As Minister Chen expected, the next attack of the Japanese army will target Wuhan. Eastern Henan is likely to be lost. Then there is a pound now. The question is, once Eastern Henan is lost, who will the vast rural areas in eastern Henan fall into? Japanese, or us."

Now everyone understands why Zhuang Jihua is eager to carry out reforms. Once the reform is successful, even if the Kuomintang takes root in eastern Henan, no one can drive them away. What is the point of relying on to win the people? Isn’t it just a reduction in rent and interest rate? We also reduce rent and interest rate, and organize the people in eastern Henan, leaving a force behind in the future, and insisting behind enemy lines, then eastern Henan will still be the Kuomintang’s world.

After understanding Zhuang Jihua's suffering, Chiang Kai-shek still felt relieved, but only comforted.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think of the provincial chairman of the 4th"? I mean you are in the 4th" for a long time, do you think "Who among the military generals is suitable for the chairman of Sichuan Province?"

Chiang Kai-shek finally asked about Sichuan. Zhuang Jihua had been waiting for this question for a long time. He said, "In my opinion, there is no suitable candidate for the Twenty-first Army after Liu Xiang. On the contrary, there are suitable candidates outside the Twenty-first Army. If the principal does not have a suitable candidate, I think that Xihou is good, and Mr. Xuan Yang Changqing is also a suitable candidate."

"Yang Changqing?" This choice had appeared in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, but Yang Yongtai had already clearly refused. He told Chiang Kai-shek that the Sichuan Army general would not accept him. When he replaced the pillar with one move, Liu Xiang suffered a lot, and the Sichuan Army general had already rejected him in his heart.
