Chapter 6 Stalemate Section 4 New Directions
After the removal of the Jingwei power-up point... the whole country condemned, Chiang Kai-shek held a special meeting of the Central Committee. "Except Wang Jingwei's party membership, Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and others were all included. Then the German army swept across Western Europe, and 300,000 British and French coalition forces left all their heavy weapons to retreat from Dunkirk, France surrendered, and Hitler Germany won an unprecedented glorious victory.
After Long Yun issued a power to support the National Civil Affairs Game in Yunnan, Yunnan quickly settled down. The troops, which were prepared for defense, withdrew from their base one after another. Zhuang Jihua also visited southern Yunnan and western Yunnan for inspection. The situation in western Yunnan made him particularly satisfied. The French defeat once again confirmed Zhuang Jihua's judgment, and Li Anding began to prepare for the war with all his might.
After Song Yunfei arrived in western Yunnan, he recruited 600 special forces soldiers. Half of them have been eliminated in a few months. With the assistance of this half, with the assistance of the guards and police brigade, most of the bandits in western Yunnan were wiped out. The rest either fled to Myanmar or to Laos. The social security in western Yunnan was unprecedentedly good.
The ethnic cadre school agreed last time has recruited more than 300 students, all of which are children of chieftains in western Yunnan and ethnic minorities with a high degree of sinicization. Li Anding attaches great importance to this school. Not only did he serve as a teacher himself, he also transferred ten teachers and twenty outstanding graduates from Kunming Cadre School and Xikang Cadre School. Here we must explain the Xikang Cadre School, which was also planned by Li Anding, with the purpose of cultivating grassroots cadres and Three Youth League cadres. However, shortly after this school was opened, some Chinese Tibetans and Yi people went to the school to study, and some ethnic minority cadres were invisibly reserved.
The police corps in the western Yunnan border originally had more than 10,000 people. In less than half a year, Shi Guanyu had expanded 6,000 people, one quarter of which were ethnic minorities. However, Shi Guanhuo had not led troops for a long time, and his training methods and military organization were still the old methods of the Huangpu period, which proved that it could not fight against the Japanese army. After Zhuang Jihua went to the army to inspect, he decided to draw some officers from the Forty-Ninth Army and the Forty-Seventh Army.
After Li Jiayu was killed, Li Zongfang took over as the commander of the 47th Army, which made Li Zongfang feel a little disappointed. After hard battles, the 47th Army caused great sacrifices. Even the commander Li Jiayu was killed. After the war, the base camp ordered the 47th Army to be reduced from the original 50,000 to 36,000 people from the two divisions and one brigade.
Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to draw people from the Forty-Seventh Army. The Forty-Nine Army had already provided Huang Botao with cadres. If they were all drawn from there, the damage to the troops would be too great. Fortunately, Li Zongfang obeyed the order and sent more than 20 cadres, plus the twenty people provided by the Forty-Nine Army.
Zhuang Jihua did not disperse the more than 40 people to all the teams, but used them to build a teaching team, including all the non-commissioned officers and company platoon cadres. It was at this time that he received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to return to Chongqing immediately and report to him.
The voices of newspaper boys are still echoing. Compared with these publicly disclosed reports, Zhuang Jihua knows more inside information. Both Fu Chang and Yang Sen and Na Xihou are in contact with him. He knows that this big counterattack is essentially a political show rather than a military counterattack.
After the two battles in Nanchang, Wuhan, the troops suffered huge losses. Before they could recover, they were unable to counterattack. The Ninth War Zone said that they used three armies to counterattack Nanchang. In fact, each army only took out one division, and each division only took out one regiment, so the scene seemed to be grand, but there were actually not many people, and the results were not great.
A calm voice came from behind the "Cultural Revolution". Zhuang Jihua turned around and Yang Yongtai was smiling behind him, but next to him was Song Ziwen, who hadn't seen for a long time.
"Mr. Changqing, Mr. Ziwen, it happened that you crossed the river too?" To be honest, Zhuang Jihua was still a little surprised. How did these two people get together?
"Our purpose is the same, so we naturally bumped into one." Yang Yongtai laughed happily
Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "There are different paths and the same destination. Since that's the case, let's go together. Mr. Song will replace Kong Yongzhi when he comes back."
"It seems you don't know yet." Song Ziwen's smile was a little strange: "The Chairman is going to issue treasury bonds in the United States, and Kong Yongzhi will preside over it. He wants me to preside over the Executive Yuan and not serve as the Ministry of Finance. The Minister of Finance will be appointed separately. The Cultural Revolution, can it be you?"
Song Ziwen's words meant to be joking and tempting. Zhuang Jihua laughed at himself: "Don't joke, I'm in charge of the Ministry of Finance? That's a big chaos in the world."
"That's not necessarily." Song Ziwen walked forward happily and stood beside Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua flashed to the side, letting Yang Yongtai stand among them.
The three of them were talking and laughing, watching the ferry gradually approaching. Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded, and the crowd waiting for the boat suddenly dispersed to all directions in panic. Then they automatically divided into several strands and ran towards the air raid shelter along the road signs.
Yang Yongtai said calmly, "We have about twenty minutes left, so let's find a place too."
"Then you two go, I'll find a place." Zhuang Jihua said lightly. This kind of bombing is mainly for factories, commercial centers, and crowded areas. No pilot would throw bombs on one person unless it was determined that this person was an important target. Chongqing is known as a mountain city, and rivers are slopes and planting forests. You can hide it by just finding a forest. "Since that's the case, I won't leave. There is a small forest there, let's go there." Yang Yongtai refused to leave. Song Ziwen did not object. The three of them brought their entourage to the forest. There were already a few people in the forest. Wu Ziniu quickly arranged the guards and surrounded the edge of the forest.
Zhuang Jihua paid attention to the sky. Hundreds of air-proof balloons were gradually lifting off the air, arranged in an orderly manner over the city. The boats on the Yangtze River also quickly docked, and there were only a row of cars on the empty road.
The roar came faintly from the sky, and the explosion came from a distance, gradually getting closer. The Japanese plane with red plaster finally flew on its head. The anti-aircraft cannons on both sides roared in unison, and the sky suddenly burst into
flower
"Boom! Boom!" Two bombs exploded on the riverside, and a large pit exploded on the beach by the riverside. Then another bomb exploded on the hillside not far away, and the crowd hiding in the forest caused a commotion.
"Go and tell everyone not to panic. The Japanese did not notice us." Zhuang Jihua turned his head and said to Wu Ziniu. Wu Ziniu nodded, but did not move, but asked the guard to do it.
"Mayor Yang, is Chongqing's air raid shelter sufficient?" Zhuang Jihua asked.
"Enough," Yang Yongtai sighed: "Since last year, the air-raid shelters have been dug, and each street has set a task. The air-raid shelters are excavated under the guidance of experts. The municipal government and the party department have organized joint inspections. Look, there are signs outside, every street and every intersection. At the beginning, there were not enough anti-aircraft guns. Now there are more than 1,300 anti-aircraft guns and more than 4,000 anti-aircraft machine guns in the city. This year, all anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been left in Chongqing. Two thousand anti-aircraft guns and three thousand anti-aircraft machine guns were withdrawn from Wuhan. All key targets are protected by anti-aircraft guns. In addition, 140 of the two hundred aircraft purchased in the United States have been in place."
The situation seemed to be very good, but Zhuang Jihua's brows were getting tighter and tighter. Song Ziwen felt a little curious: "What's wrong? Cultural Revolution, is that wrong?"
"I was thinking, there were more than 200 aircraft in total, including one hundred and forty chests, plus the ones we produced and left behind. The Air Force has basically recovered its strength. Why did it allow Japanese aircraft to break into the city?" Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said.
"The Air Force is the commander of Qian Dajun?" Song Ziwen's meaning is very obvious. Qian Dajun is also a veteran of Huangpu and is deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. Moreover, the Air Force Command was transformed from the Aviation Commission, and the members of the Aviation Commission were all appreciated by Soong Mei-ling.
Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly and said that among the veterans in Huang Realm, Qian Dajun had the best relationship with him, better than his direct boss Wang Jun. Wang Jun has not led troops directly over the years, but served as the chief of staff. After the Wuhan Defense War, he served as the deputy director of the First Department of the Military Commission. Of course, Zhuang Jihua's current status has surpassed most Huangpu teachers.
"Cultural Revolution, how did you think of issuing treasury bonds in the United States?" asked Song Ziwen.
"The domestic funds are already a little scarce. The only way to go to the United States to issue treasury bonds." Zhuang Jihua said nothing.
"But do you know what restrictions are required to issue Treasury bonds in the United States?" Song Ziwen asked again.
This time Zhuang Jihua shook his head. He knew the way to list in the United States, but he didn't know how to issue treasury bonds first.
Song Ziwen looked at him and shook his head slightly before explaining: "Treasury bonds are essentially a kind of stock, but this kind of stock is guaranteed by the national credit and limited returns. Investors investing in this product mainly considers the economic situation of the country. Moreover, the United States has strict restrictions on the issuance of Treasury bonds in their own country. It must be approved by the Federal Reserve, the US State Department, and the Senate House Finance Committee. To obtain such approval, the national fiscal situation must even be reported to them.
Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "This is actually a political issue."
"It's a political issue," Song Ziwen also nodded and admitted: "But it's also an economic issue, and the House and Senate are economic issues."
"Roosevelt should be able to control the two houses." Zhuang Jihua still didn't care.
"Boom!" A bomb exploded nearby, the trees trembled, and green leaves fell one after another. The crowd exclaimed, and several children couldn't help crying loudly.
The sound of cannons became even more intense. A Japanese plane dragged a long smoke into the Yangtze River. The crowd watching the battle in the woods cheered, and then another enemy plane dragged a long roar and hit the ground hard.
A few brave young men ran out of the woods and went to a higher place outside to watch the battle. Seeing the fire below so fierce, Japanese planes raised their heights one after another, and the bounce points became even more chaotic.
The bombing lasted for more than 30 minutes. With three flutes and the air strike alarm was lifted, everyone returned to the ferry, and Zhuang Jihua and the others also returned to the highway. Fortunately, the Japanese plane was not interested in several cars on the highway, so the dock workers shouted to greet the guests on board.
