Soong Mei-ling went to Luoyang within two days in Kaifeng and then returned to Chongqing. This time, Zhuang Jihua did not accompany him, but went to Zhuxian Town, and the Forty-Nine Army Command was set up on this ancient battlefield.

Guo Xunqi was a little puzzled about transferring the 49th Army to Zhuxian Town. After Liu Xiang's death, Guo Xunqi gradually moved closer to Zhuang Jihua and became a senior general under Zhuang Jihua. After Lan Yun was transferred from the east, Zhuang Jihua handed over his direct line of the 49th Army to him. This action made the generals from the Southwest Development Team very puzzled, but this was Zhuang Jihua's decision and no one dared to object.

"Brother Yi, don't be upset, look at this." Zhuang Jihua took out a piece of intelligence from his pocket, and Guo Xunqi took it. The Japanese North China Expeditionary Force was very vigilant about the large-scale entry of the Chinese ** team into Henan. He believed that Zhuang Jihua transferred the first elite Chinese force to Kaifeng, proving that the next attack direction of the Chinese ** team was sure to be Hebei. For this reason, the North China Expeditionary Force decided to concentrate eight divisions on the north bank of the Yellow River, and arrange them in a light front and heavy back. The front troops were centered on Xinxiang and Puyang to establish permanent fortifications. If the Chinese ** team attacked, be sure to stick to it. The subsequent troops were mainly the Fifth Division and arranged along the Pinghan line. When the Chinese ** team attacked Xinxiang or Puyang, the peripheral troops launched a counterattack, cooperated inside and outside to defeat the Chinese ** team in one fell swoop.

"See, the Japanese can regard your Forty-nine Army as a thorn in your eyes, and they are staring at your every move." Zhuang Jihua took back the information from Guo Xunqi's hands and burned it. This move was to tell Guo Xunqi that he could know the content of this information and not be leaked.

Guo Xunzhi was very impressed. Not to mention how this information was obtained, the person who could get such advanced intelligence was definitely not ordinary people, but just this would not explain anything. What's more important is that "Zhuang Jihua made arrangements in advance" and gently mobilized a Forty-nine Group Army and hid the main attack direction" and let the Japanese follow him.

"Yizhi, the Forty-Nine Army is in Fubo's hands, and the Japanese are watching the No. 1 elite. Don't lose your majesty in your hands." Zhuang Jihua reminded that Guo Xunqi was appointed as the commander of the Forty-Nine Army." It caused a lot of shock in the 101 Army, but the new commander of the 101 Army Zhang Xingang was appointed as the commander of the 101 Army. He belonged to the junior generation and could not speak.

"Please rest assured, Commander, Guo will never let down his entrustion. The reputation of the Forty-Nine Army will never fall into Guo's hands!" Guo Xunzhi solemnly promised that to be honest, being able to serve as the commander of the Forty-Nine Army" was beyond his expectations. You must know that the Forty-Nine Army is Zhuang Jihua's heart. Although he is often assigned to others' command, he actually designated the tasks.

In the following two days, officers above the 49th Group Army held a meeting in Zhuxian Town. At the meeting, Zhuang Jihua sternly warned the generals that "the 49th Group Army suffered huge losses in the early battles, and the recruits were greatly supplemented." They must strengthen training and restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In addition, according to the order of the Military Commission, the 49th Group Army added a tank regiment and all equipped with concave tanks. They were directly under the Army Command. The 102nd Army was collectively replaced with American equipment.

"I repeat again. There is no distinction between central and central government in my army!" Zhuang Jihua was extremely stern. "There are only Chinese teams here, only Chinese people! The sky is blue and white sun above you. If anyone has any central government and local opinions, I, Zhuang Jihua, will never try to keep me!"

The generals sat upright and looked at each other without looking at each other. No one dared to jump out at this time. The officers from the 102nd Army were not willing to say anything, and the officers of the 101st Army were even more afraid. This was just a matter of a few of them muttering and being noticed by Zhuang Jihua, so Zhuang Jihua was furious.

"Commander Guo, if the equipment is replaced, the combat effectiveness must also be higher. New equipment must have new tactics. The old tactics are reasonable and should be retained. Also, when the tank is here, how to play the role of a tank? Tanks are not just about cooperating with infantry charges. You must study them and find a new way for the entire army."

Guo Xunqi agreed repeatedly, knowing that this tank regiment was hard-won. The tanks provided by the United States to China were regarded as treasures by Chiang Kai-shek, and his emphasis on domestic tanks was slightly reduced. Zhuang Jihua had the chance to get more than 100 tanks.

After the meeting, Zhuang Jihua handed over several booklets such as tank war principles, contract tactics, etc. and tank tactics written by Xu Tingyao to Guo Xunqi.

"Tanks are new to us. How to organize tank battles and how infantry cooperate with tanks, these all need to be summarized step by step. Yizhi, you have fought tanks before, but you have never touched tanks. Don't be too anxious for some things, take your time." Zhuang Jihua reminded Guo Xun while being assigned a mission.

Guo Xunqi nodded repeatedly. He knew that Zhuang Jihua was telling him the truth. The Forty-Nine Army had no tanks before, and only received tank training. He never contacted tanks, let alone cooperated with tanks.

Later, Zhuang Jihua called Zhang Lingfu over again. Zhang Lingfu was dismissed from his post in Lan Yundong during the Battle of Hubei. After the battle, the Military Law Department organized an investigation, and the results were very beneficial to him. However, he still believed that he was guilty and disobeying on the battlefield was a taboo in the army, so the Military Law Department gave the opinion to dismiss his post and investigate. However, after Zhuang Jihua considered it, he believed that the dismissal was too heavy, so he reported to the entire army and punished him, dismissed him and remained in office, and made meritorious service.

"Zhang Lingfu, if it weren't for the 105th Junior Brothers jointly pleading for you, I wouldn't have spared you." Zhuang Jihua stared at Zhang Lingfu coldly, and still knocked on him: "You think your judgment is right" can act without authorization, it's simply nonsense! If your subordinates were the same, what would you do?"

"Severe punishment is not sluggish!" Zhang Lingfu's answer was unambiguous.

"It seems that you understand." Zhuang Jihua felt a little tricky about him. This kid is a good fighter and feels extremely sensitive on the battlefield. If he hadn't taken the initiative to attack and restrain Kanda, Kanda might have been able to cross the Han River two days in advance, and the ending of the Battle of Hubei might have completely changed. But in addition to this, this kid has a strong personality. As long as he thinks he is right, he will ignore it, ignore the orders of the boss, and just fight.

"You are fighting, but when a large army fights, the first problem is cooperation, followed by Mouren. Think about it, during the Battle of Hubei, Lan Yundong would ignore your life and death and lead your troops to retreat. One of your divisions was exposed to the Japanese army, and the four enemy divisions could eat you in one bite." In order to let Zhang Lingfu learn from his lesson, Zhuang Jihua was very serious.

"I understand that the commander, I will learn from my lessons." Zhang Lingfu understood in his heart that it was Zhuang Jihua who let him go this time." In fact, he didn't deal with him much, he was still the commander of the 105th Division.

"Just understand, train the troops well. You have to fight well. The 105th Division can be expanded into an army. You can be the commander." Zhuang Jihua made a promise to Zhang Lingfu. Zhang Lingfu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. As a soldier, of course he hoped that more and more soldiers would be commanded. This promise made Zhang Lingfu disobey.

The Jiangbei War Zone Command is located in Xuchang, but this is only abandoned by the public. There is also a command center secretly located outside Shangqiu City. Now only He Wei has led a dozen staff officers to manage the headquarters.

Henan's post-war reconstruction work was very fast. By the end of June, the Pinghan Line and the Longhai Line were basically restored; by the beginning of July, when the summer harvest ended, Zhuang Jihua could finally breathe a sigh of relief. According to statistics, although Henan's summer harvest was not considered a bumper harvest, it had greatly alleviated the famine.

At the end of June, Chiang Kai-shek returned to Chongqing from Lanzhou and immediately ordered the transfer of the First Mechanized Army to the Jiangbei War Zone, and the New First Army Sun Liren was drawn from Myanmar, the New Sixth Army Liao Yaoxiang's unit, and the 74th Army Wang Yao's unit joined the Jiangbei War Zone.

After the Battle of Northern Myanmar, the 103rd Army was split into two armies, the Sun Liren New 38th Division was expanded into the New First Army, and the Liao Yaoxiang New 22nd Division was expanded into the New Sixth Army, with three divisions in each army and a force of 50,000.

Chiang Kai-shek's move made Stilwell very dissatisfied and flew back to Chongqing to complain to Wei Demai, but Wei Demai did not support him this time. According to the understanding obtained between China and the United States, after the recovery of Myanmar, the strategic focus shifted northward, and the dispatch of troops from Myanmar was to implement this strategy. Moreover, even if three troops were drawn, 150,000 were sent, Myanmar still had 200,000 expeditionary troops, and the main 58th Army, the "Ode Army, New Eighth Army, 66th Army and other units were all there." If we count the British army of about 100,000, the Allied forces still had more than 300,000 troops in Myanmar, while the Japanese army opposite was only 150,000 and 60,000, and the allied countries had an absolute advantage.

As China and Britain were tense in Myanmar and had no intention of pursuing the Japanese army, the Japanese army was able to safely retreat to the Myanmar-Thailand border," and controlled the Myanmar border important town, Maudanjin, and formed a line of defense on the Indochina Peninsula.

Something happened in July. Mei Youlan's "Taihang Xing" began to be serialized in Yuzhou Evening News. This series of reports caused a huge response in Chongqing, and once regained the disadvantage of GCD in Xuanjing after the victory of the Battle of North Hubei.

"My mother, what's the point of Mei Youlan doing?" Chiang Kai-shek threw the newspaper on the table and couldn't help but curse softly.

"Da Ling, what are you talking about?" Soong Mei-ling, who was beside him, didn't hear clearly, turned her head and asked.

"Mei Youlan, what did she do when she ran to Taihang Mountain?" If you want to change someone, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely order the content of Yuzhou Evening News to be reviewed, but Mei Youlan is not good, not only Soong Mei-ling's relationship, but also Mr. Mei." Mei Yuntian, Zhuang Jihua's face is in it, and that kind of means to other news media cannot be used on Mei Youlan.

Soong Mei-ling stretched her head and said indifferently: "Little girl, she is always curious about everything, and it's nothing to go and see. By the way, Da Ling, this is the list of Cairo. Look, who else do you want to add?"

In early July, Roosevelt formally invited Chiang Kai-shek to attend the Cairo Three Kingdoms Summit, which lasted four months more than in his previous life. Although he knew that the invitation would be here very early, the formal invitation was only here. The couple had already discussed this list.

Chiang Kai-shek looked carefully and he attached great importance to this conference and believed that it was an important conference to establish China's international status. It was also the result of the Chinese team's success in the past two years.

"Well, add Zhou Zhirou." After reading it, Chiang Kai-shek said nothing. Zhou Zhirou is the chief of staff of the Air Force. Qian Dajun is the commander of the Air Force, but Chiang Kai-shek planned to transfer Qian Dajun back to the attendant's room and serve as the chief of attendant, with Zhou Zhirou as the commander of the Air Force. This time he went to Cairo, the army was Lin Wei, and the air force was Zhou Zhirou.

Just before Chiang Kai-shek was about to set off, U.S. Ambassador Gauss suddenly came to visit, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek could stay in India and meet with Indian Congress leaders Gandhi and Nehru.
