Liu Zhi was still angry at Zhuang Jihua and the expression of Jiang Jingguo's hair... Liu Zhi still felt sorry for his father, as if he was completely unaware that he had just made a fool of himself.

"The Security Command cooperates unconditionally, haha, unconditionally. As long as the Cultural Revolution is in the country, all the troops of the Security Command will ask you to dispatch it.

"What about the army? How does the army plan to defend air? Are there any specific plans?" Zhuang Jihua's tone was still cold and hard, and the cold light in his eyes seemed to pierce Liu Zhi's fat Dunhe's body.

"Of course we also need to dig air raid shelters, and the materials must be strong. When I go back, I will make a plan and hand it over to the southwest camp." Liu Zhi's answer was very calm, without the embarrassment that the teacher reported to the students at all. Everything was taken for granted, which made Zhuang Jihua feel helpless.

"Let's do this, the Cultural Revolution. Leave the military matters to Commander Liu. When the Chairman came to Chongqing, he would definitely ask, what other questions would be about the people?" Yang Yongtai changed the subject again. He was with Chiang Kai-shek for a long time. He knew that although Liu Zhi was incompetent, Chiang Kai-shek valued his loyalty very much. He repeatedly appointed important official positions, but rarely asked him to go to the battlefield again. He just kept him in the house to protect the house. It would be difficult for Zhuang Jihua to defeat him.

But Yang Yongtai also reminded Liu Zhi not to go too far. Chiang Kai-shek must check Chongqing air defense when he goes to Chongqing. If he finds that he does not do anything, he will not have the best results.

While speaking, the staff officer reported that the Shibang Bang arrived, and Zhuang Jihua asked him to come in immediately. The Shibang Bang Bang was of medium figure, his empty left arm was the most obvious sign of his expression, and his expression was the arrogance that the air force soldiers were used to.

"Report, Colonel Shi Bangfan, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Air Force Command, was ordered to arrive." Shi Bangfan saluted Zhuang Jihua and Liu Zhi with his right arm, but ignored other military ranks higher than him.

"Sit down" Zhuang Jihua pointed to the seat in front, and Shibangfan took the bag from the staff officer behind him and sat in the position designated by Zhuang Jihua.

"Col. How many aircraft are there under the Southwest Air Force Command now? You can report on the status of the radar station and anti-aircraft artillery troops." Zhuang Jihua waited for him to sit down and went straight to the point.

Shibangfan did not rush to answer, but opened the file package, took out a few documents, and sent it to Zhuang Jihua, and then spoke: "In view of the current tense battle situation in Wuhan, the former Southwest Air Force Command left the thirty chests to defend Chongqing to Wuhan. At present, there are only eight old trainers in the southwest, and they cannot fight in the sky at all. They are only suitable for air force schools to teach students. So we do not have fighters at present." Shibangfan had no expression on his face, and he did not even have any emotion in his voice.

"There are thirty radar stations along the line from Chongqing to Wushan, 18 radar stations around Chengdu, 16 radar stations in Guizhou, and 20 radar stations in Yunnan."

"The anti-aircraft artillery unit currently has five regiments, with a total of 220 anti-aircraft artillery and 630 anti-aircraft machine guns. There are 185 anti-aircraft guns. The anti-aircraft machine guns are organized according to battalions. Each machine gun requires four people to operate, and each squad has three machine guns. Currently, there are eight high-aircraft battalions, all of which are fully loaded.

.

After the Shibangfan finished speaking, he sat down. Zhuang Jihua was very shocked. The number of radar stations was enough to monitor Japanese planes entering Sichuan from any direction. However, the number of aircraft and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns was too small. It seemed that more than 200 and more than 600 were a lot. Chongqing alone needed thousands of anti-aircraft guns, and there were factories scattered in Qinjiang, Longchang, Neijiang and other places, as well as Chengdu, Guiyang, Kunming and other cities.

"Why are there so few? How many anti-aircraft guns are produced in the factory every month? They are all there?" Zhuang Jihua couldn't help it. When he left Sichuan, there were more than 300 anti-aircraft guns. There were thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns, but two years have passed, but they have not increased but decreased. What's going on?

"Before the War of Defense of Wuhan, 1,800 anti-aircraft guns and 3,700 anti-aircraft machine guns were drawn from the southwest to Wuhan, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, and Xi'an also transferred 150 anti-aircraft guns and 300 anti-aircraft machine guns to the factory to produce monthly. This is a question about the Material Bureau." Shi Bangfan's tone was a little helpless. After the Japanese army seized the air superiority, Wuhan's air strikes became more and more frequent. In order to defend Wuhan, the Military Commission drew a large number of air defense weapons out of Sichuan. In addition, Guangzhou, China's last estuary was also frequently subjected to Japanese air strikes. In this direction, China only had a very small number of aircraft, and only relied on ground artillery fire.

"How much does the factory produce at present?" Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked Chiang Ching-kuo. Chiang Ching-kuo said in a calm state: "The monthly output of anti-aircraft guns is 200, and there are 300 anti-aircraft machine guns per month."

Zhuang Jihua thought about it and decided decisively: "From now on, an anti-aircraft gun or an anti-aircraft machine gun are not allowed to be transferred." After saying that, he asked again: "Do you have enough anti-aircraft gunners and anti-aircraft machine gunners?"

Shi Bangfan seemed to know the situation very well, and he didn't want to blurt out: "At present, we lack 185 anti-aircraft guns, and they all take turns to practice. There are very few veterans in the army, and most of the soldiers have not been trained in live ammunition. It is hard to say how effective it can be to go to the battlefield."

The seriousness of the situation was beyond imagination. Zhuang Jihua's heart was quietly behind, but fortunately, this meeting was held today. If you take it for granted, you will have to go to great lengths.

.

"From now on, its anti-aircraft artillery troops will be listed as the top priority. The aircraft produced by the aircraft manufacturer will no longer be put into the front line. All of them will be handed over to the Southwest Air Force Command. Anti-aircraft artillery must increase its productivity, and there must be one thousand anti-aircraft artillery within three months. In addition, it will be able to buy two thousand anti-aircraft artillery from the United States, and this matter is to be made." Zhuang Jihua glanced at Liu Zhi and changed his words and said, "Don't worry about this matter, I'll arrange it."

Jiang Jingguo was a little surprised. He was a little confused. He was about to speak, but he saw Yang Yongtai keep winking at him, so despite his heart full of doubts, he still resisted not asking questions.

"Have you calculated how many anti-aircraft artillery regiments and high-speed aircraft battalions are needed in the entire southwest?" Zhuang Jihua asked Shibang again.

"No precise calculations have been made, only roughly estimated," Shibangfan replied: "No matter which cities, they only include important cities and arsenals. The entire three southwestern provinces require about one hundred anti-aircraft artillery regiments and another two hundred high-speed battalions."

Zhuang Jihua didn't know that the Japanese would attack the first place, but his intuition told him that Chongqing must be their focus on bombing, and he hoped that the Japanese could make this mistake and bomb the cities first rather than those factories.

"I stipulate the priority of air defense. First of all, Chongqing, followed by Zhujiang's steel plant. Secondly, the aircraft manufacturing plant. From now on, you will start to choose anti-aircraft artillery positions in Chongqing. In addition, you will also call Commander Qian to draw back half of the anti-aircraft artillery troops from Wuhan. Wuhan has begun to retreat now. Staying there will only sacrifice in vain and will not play a role." Zhuang Jihua looked cold and said with a finger: "Secondly, form a new anti-aircraft artillery regiment. Formulate ten regiments, form new and old combinations, form a community training while building, and weapons and equipment can be waited."

"Third, to form an expulsion fleet, the aircraft manufacturer has few aircraft now, but not without them. They also formed and practiced while working, and reported to Commander Qian and asked to buy 200 chest fighters to supplement our production, which was insufficient."

"Fourth, blocking balloons should be set up over the city."

"Fifth, ensure communication, and the communication between each radar station and each anti-aircraft gun position must be kept unobstructed.

Zhuang Jihua didn't plan to use his money to buy a plane this time. He could no longer afford to buy so much airplane, but his words made Shi Pingfan nod in his heart. These are key points of air defense.

The decision of the meeting was quickly implemented. Various institutions in Chongqing acted together. News organizations began to introduce how to prevent air defense. Each district began to form an air defense propaganda team. All kinds of chivalrous people emerged from all corners overnight, and the fast-moving streets began to select sites. Each district ran to the school and the Southwest Development Team to hire experts to guide the digging of holes.

The loudspeakers that rang out all day in the streets did not broadcast the frontline battle situation, but repeatedly read out the orders of the municipal government and the security command. The noise outside the window made the people in the courtyard feel helpless.

"General, Wuhan has not yet fallen. You are already preparing to defend Chongqing. Is that true?" Thomas was a little curious about Zhuang Jihua since he saw him. To be honest, this person has caused a lot of discussion in the US Embassy, ​​more than anyone else or anything else.

"It's a matter of time before Wuhan falls." Zhuang Jihua did not hide his views at all. Even though the other party was just a secretary: "Chongqing is our industrial base. I don't believe that the Japanese did not notice this, and I never fight unprepared wars."

"But I have heard a rumor that your government is going to make peace with the Japanese after the fall of Wuhan. Is that true?" Thomas asked. Today's visit to Zhuang Jihua was nominally a private party, but in fact it was still under the order of the ambassador.

"I have never heard of such rumors." Zhuang Jihua looked motionless, poured him tea, watched him drink it before asking, "How do you feel?"

"Well, it's very good." Thomas praised him all over, Zhuang Jihua laughed, and then shook his head and said, "China's tea culture has a long history. However, Guantuo tea is only tasted by two chongs. San Chongs tastes the purest."

Thomas was a little confused. He stared at Zhuang Jihua blankly, and Zhuang Jihua rushed him into the water again: "The same is true for war. Some people are pessimistic and some are optimistic. Pessimists say pessimistic words, which is normal, and that country is the same."

"Mr. Wang Jingwei once said that there is another way to resolve differences between China and Japan. What is the other way he said?" Thomas did not accept Zhuang Jihua's explanation, but continued

ask.

"Mr. Wang is a peace-oriented faction, but more people in our government are war-oriented faction," Zhuang Jihua paused and looked at Thomas meaningfully: "Mr. Wang probably overestimated his influence in the government."

Thomas was shocked in his heart. Could it be that the embassy's estimate of Wang Jingwei's status was wrong? No, this village was talking nonsense. Thinking of this, he sighed heavily: "General, as far as I know, Mr. Wang Jingwei has a great influence in your government. He is the drafter and certifier of Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen's will. He is also the first chairman of the National Government and has many followers in the party."
