Section 4 Return to the Fifth War Zone (8)

Erbushi's reaction was indeed not as expected by Zhuang Jihua. Moreover, he directly transferred Liu Ruming to serve as the Director of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and transferred Liu Zhennian to the special class of the Central Military Academy. The special class of the Central Military Academy was recently opened, and all the students were general-level officers from various war zones. American consultants were responsible for teaching.

However, there were also some people who surprised Zhuang Jihua. He Ji-yi and Zhang Kexia of the 33rd Army, Zhang Xin and 60th Army also transferred several officers from the 49th Army and were also transferred to the special class for study. Then he received news that in the Expeditionary Army, his confidants Lu Ruishan and Zuo Yongxian were all transferred to the special class for study.

"It seems that the Chairman can't wait.

"Feng Gui's tone was a little mocking. Although he was far away from the central government over the years, he had made Chiang Kai-shek's consultation thoroughly: "The Cultural Revolution, that report can be handed over."

Zhuang Jihua appointed Feng Gui as the senior senator of the war zone the next day, but this senator only had military pay but no military rank. In the past few days, he and Gong Xiuhua drafted a list of officers who were preparing to transfer from the Expeditionary Force to the Fifth War Zone. Zhuang Jihua prepared a transfer report based on this list.

Zhuang Jihua hesitated and signed his name on the documents handed over by Gong Jianhua. Among these people, more than 50 high and middle-level generals including Xia Yanglin, Li Anding, Huang Botao, Yu Chengwan, etc. This action is not bad. He didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek would react.

Before Chiang Kai-shek's reply was met, Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, Chi Fengcheng, Cao Fulin, Huang Weigang and other Northwest Army generals came together, while Liu Ruming asked for leave to refuse to cultivate.

"Commander Zhuang, the 68th Army has become unstable. To avoid the situation from escalating, the Liu brothers must leave at least one." Sun Lianzhong said to Zhuang Jihua anxiously.

"Commander Zhuang, Deputy Commander He and Chief of Staff Zhang left at the same time, which had a great impact on the group army. The group army had not been supplemented yet, and such adjustments would lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the troops." Feng Zhian was also very uneasy.

"Chief Zhang and Deputy Commander He were transferred by the Central Committee to participate in military academy studies. This is a good thing for them." Zhuang Jihua pretended to be surprised. In fact, he knew very well that the Military Control Commission had reported a long time ago. He Jihan and Zhang Kexia were both suspected of communism, especially He Jihan. Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to purify the troops: "In the future, the war zone will receive US aid supplies. Some troops will change their equipment. If the equipment is changed, the special squad is the place where the ideas are changed. Commander Feng, you see, aren't there anyone going to the Fifty-Two Army and the Forty-Nine Army? There is no other meaning."

Feng Zhian calmed down. Zhuang Jihua made a big fight for him. He was in a dilemma. If he refused, he would have no hope of changing his equipment. Accept it, but if this is a trap, it would be troublesome. The Seventy-Seventh Army is his basic unit.

"General Liu Ruming was promoted to the head of military and political deployment. The chairman attaches great importance to General Liu. Commander Sun, I hope he doesn't have any other ideas and goes to Chongqing as soon as possible." Zhuang Jihua didn't have that much cake to Sun Lianzhong. On the contrary, his attitude was very harsh: "The military discipline of the Sixty-Eighth Army was abolished and the army was lax. Liu Ziliang was so angry that he only knew to make friends with his subordinates with private grace and imitate General Lu. Such people are not suitable to continue to serve as generals of the army. To be honest, my idea is to let him retire from active service."

Zhuang Jihua's attitude surprised Sun Lianzhong. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhuang Jihua continued: "The Sixty-Eighth Army is unstable. This is an old routine. Yuan Shikai and Chen Jiongming have used this trick. It is not surprising that the Sixty-Eighth Army wants to rebel. I will quell the rebellion. But please tell General Liu Ruming that it is the anti-Japanese period, and he wants to follow Sun Liangcheng and Pang Bingxun's path. The court waiting for him for national trial will be forever engraved on the pillar of shame for traitors and will never turn over."

Of course, Zhuang Jihua would not think that Liu Ruming would hand over the troops honestly. Since Guangzhou reorganized the founding of the Guochuan Army, he has reorganized many local troops, either backed by force or exchanged interests. There is absolutely no unconditionality. So after deciding to transfer Liu Ruming away, the special forces led by Song Yunfei had already sneaked into the Tongpai Mountains. The two divisions of the 78th Army approached the 68th Army. The 101st Army moved closer to the 36th Army, preparing to quell the rebellion immediately if Liu Ruming had any abnormal movements.

Sun Liangcheng and Pang Bingxun both surrendered to the enemy at the beginning of last year. Sun Liangcheng was the guerrilla commander of the Yicha War Zone. Although the Yicha War Zone was handed over to the Eighth Route Army, the Kuomintang troops still existed, and Sun Liangcheng was the commander-in-chief of these troops. When the Japanese army launched an offensive in North China last year, Sun Liangcheng led his direct troops to surrender to the Japanese army and served as the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army of the Wang Puppet Government.

Pang Bingxun was also this summer when Matsui Ishigen attacked Central Shandong. The troops were disbanded. Pang Bingxun hid in a cave with a few small guards and was betrayed. He was forced to surrender to the Japanese army. Pang Bingxun was a hero of the first Jinpu Road Battle. His surrender made Wang Jingwei extremely excited. He personally met him, and then appointed him as the commander of the puppet 22nd Army and also as the chairman of Hebei Province.

In anger, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the compilation of Pang Bingxun and Sun Liangcheng, and canceled the number of the Forty Army. Ma Fawu and Wang Shouwu broke out and cleaned up about seven remaining troops. After Guan Linzheng and Yu Xuezhong cleared the unborn division. Zhuang Jihua, who gave a new sixty division, was surprised by Sun Lianzhong. Feng Zhian was a little sad and a little uneasy. He knew the situation of the 33rd Army. He was not unaware of the situation of Zhang Kexia and He Jiban, but he thought that many friends were on multiple roads and had nothing to do with. Sun Lianzhong sighed. Zhuang Jihua was different from Chen Cheng. Even if he took your troops, he would come openly. However, for the sake of friendship and self-interest, he had to fight for Liu Ruming.

"Commander Zhuang, the enemy is in the moment. We should work together to prevent foreign humiliation. Liu Ziliang is not an incompetent person. Under his command, the Sixty-Eighth Army has made many military achievements. Now it is just a little depressed."

"He is not a little depressed," Zhuang Jihua immediately retorted: "He no longer has the courage he had at the beginning. The only reason why he wanted to continue to control the troops was to use this troops as a bargaining chip and demand power from the central government. As a soldier, I despise this approach, especially at present, what I need is a person like General Zhang Zizhong who is desperate for the country and the nation."

"I want to repeat that after the war zone, the troops will be reorganized after every war. No matter whether it is the Central Army or the local army, combat effectiveness is the only standard. Those troops with poor combat will be annexed by troops with outstanding military achievements."

Sun Lianzhong and Feng Zhian were shocked again, and their vests began to sweat. The Central Army was well equipped and their combat power was naturally stronger. How could they compare with these miscellaneous troops? They were naturally annexed.

"Commander Sun, Chairman of the Communist Party of China has approved the reorganization of the Forty Army into a reorganized army, and the entire army is equipped with Chongqing to make weapons, but the troops must be reorganized and re-engaged tactics Cui Lian."

When Sun Lianzhong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Zhuang Jihua's capital this time was really hard for him to refuse, because the Forty Army was his basic unit and his only direct unit in the Second Army.

Not only did he say this to Sun Lianzhong and Feng Zheng'an. At the next meeting of the War Zone Commander and above, Zhuang Jihua publicly announced the transfer order to the Liu brothers, and then announced without any ambiguity: "Since the Republic of my country, our country will adopt a very bad habit and regard the troops as their own private armed forces. The warlords have serious thoughts. I cannot accept this situation, and the country cannot accept it. In the future, the war zone will reorganize the troops after each battle. There is only one standard and combat effectiveness."

In the conference room, the stars flashed, but everyone was silent and held back when facing the furious Zhuang Jihua. Now Zhuang Jihua is stronger than before, and his strategy is more determined to be on Zhixing.

"The Suizao Battle was defeated, General Zhang Zizhong died, and the teachings were profound. The theater decided that all troops should strengthen training. The outline of the scraping training is formulated by the theater. Each army can make adjustments based on the outline. The training plan after the adjustment must be reported to the theater command. In addition, the theater command will send an inspection team. The director of the inspection team is the chief of staff Xu Zuyi, and the deputy director is the chief of combat director He Wei. I must tell you that if the commander fails three times in a row, the commander will be punished. If he fails in the next inspection, the commander will go to the officer training school established in the theater to return. Learn tactics and learn how to command the troops.

The School of Military Officers Training in the War Zone was established by Li Zongren, with the purpose of cultivating middle and low-level officers. After Zhuang Jihua served as the commander of the Fifth War Zone, he still retained this school.

At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua did not have the opportunity to ask questions and ask commanders and commanders below. The meeting for one day was basically Zhuang Jihua sang a one-man show. When everyone went back, they held the training plan formulated by the theater staff department. This plan covered individual tactics and group tactics, and formulated clear inspection standards.

In addition, Zhuang Jihua also announced two expansion orders, one was to expand the Forty Army into the A-type Army, and the other was to form the New Seventeenth Army, announcing the promotion of Fan Hanjie, deputy commander of the Fifth Army, to commander of the Army.

"According to the order of the Military Commission, this theater will form four young divisions, namely the 205th Division, the 206th Division, the 207th Division, each division of the 208th Division, and the entire army is 16,000. The Youth Army is the army of young intellectuals from the rear. These students abandoned their civil and military affairs and left the quiet classroom. I don't know if you have been to the Great Reich, and the people in the Great Reich are looking forward to us every day, hoping that we will win the war, hoping that we will drive the devils out of China, they will save money, and themselves

I gave the ones I couldn't bear to use to the frontline soldiers, and I couldn't bear to wear them. As long as the frontline soldiers needed them, they took them out without hesitation. We didn't remember to practice seriously and didn't work hard. Who can we be worthy of?!" "Please rest assured, the commander, my 22nd Army will ensure that we will complete this reorganization and will never let down the expectations of the elders in Sichuan." Sun Zhen immediately stood up to express his support, and then Du Xingming, Fan Hanjie and others also stood up to express their opinions. Sun Lianzhong and Feng Zhian looked at each other and stood up.
