The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing, Section 1, Bow Pull

Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to notice this, he stood quietly in front of Zhao Hanjie's tomb, the villagers of the inn planted rows of green pines around the cemetery, and the graves were planted with rhododendrons, blooming in the spring breeze under the April sun. /.qb5, c0М//

"Thank you, thank you folks." Zhuang Jihua was very grateful and told the mayor of the inn town that the mayor was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gray robe, with a mustache on his lips, his beard was already a little gray, and there were several clear wrinkles on his forehead.

"General Zhuang, when you say this, you will see the outside." The mayor of the town was very calm, under the breeze, the robe fluttered slightly, he did not meet Zhuang Jihua's gaze, but looked at the mountains and green pines, and sighed: "Who are they for?" The mountains and rivers are broken, and the old decay can't go into battle to kill the enemy, so he can only do something behind them, so that their families can rest assured, and it can be regarded as the old decay doing his best to resist the Japanese. ”

"Have the houses of the villagers been built?" Zhuang Jihua also asked: This area is the assistance area designated by the 22 nd Group Army.

"Thank you for the general's concern, most of them have been repaired, a small part is under construction, and the spring sowing has also been completed." The mayor of the town was full of gratitude: "**is**, how many years, the villagers here have never seen such a benevolent army, General Zhuang, for such a **, can we not desperately support it?" ”

Along the way, Zhuang Jihua was paying attention to the fact that there were soldiers in the rice fields along the way helping the people plant rice, and the inn was a key area, and Sun Zhen specially transferred the 122nd Division to help rebuild.

When passing through the inn town next, Zhuang Jihua could be sure that the mayor was not polite, but it was not accurate, most of the houses in the inn town had not been repaired, but it was obviously not that the 122nd Division had not acted, the entire inn was a construction site, and houses were being built everywhere.

"Risaki"

After a major spotted a group of high-ranking generals getting out of the car, he subconsciously gave a loud order. At this command, all the officers and soldiers, whether on the beams of the house, or on the ladder, or below, stood in solemnity.

The major suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly ran to Chiang Kai-shek: "Report to the chairman of the committee, the xxx battalion of the xxx regiment of the 122nd division is ordered to carry out the task of assisting the townspeople of the inn to rebuild their homes, please give an order"

"Very well, Major, go ahead." Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased with the Major's performance, and parking here was also a whim, and since the whim of parking in Hankow, which was reported by Time magazine reporter Bai Xiude and the New York Times Foreman as a fearless heroic feat, Chiang Kai-shek has become more and more interested in this kind of temporary parking.

Compared with Chiang Kai-shek's interest, Zhuang Jihua's expression was a little lonely, everyone, including Chiang Kai-shek, thought that it was because of Zhao Hanjie, but in fact, Zhuang Jihua was worried about the recent political situation.

Won an unprecedented victory, Zhuang Jihua thought that he could, at least temporarily stabilize the political situation, but he never expected that with the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in eastern Henan, the political turmoil became bigger and bigger, and almost all political parties expressed their opposition to the strategy proposed in the program, so they obviously sympathized with GCD in the conflict in eastern Henan, but Chiang Kai-shek turned a blind eye to all this, and even disdained it a little, and let the situation develop.

The political troubles made Zhuang Jihua very distressed, and Chiang Kai-shek's attitude made him a little puzzled, this was the first time he could not guess Chiang Kai-shek's intentions.

Chiang Kai-shek stayed at the inn for ten minutes, greeting the soldiers who were erecting their houses in the rubble and wooden frames, resting for a few minutes in front of a freshly built house, and accepting the tea offered by the owner, the old scholar who was preparing the inscription.

Coming out of the inn, the number of people accompanying Chiang Kai-shek was much reduced, and Chiang Kai-shek called Zhuang Jihua into his car. The sedan sped through the mountains towards the mouth of the old river.

"Are you better?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhuang Jihua and asked with concern.

"Nothing." Zhuang Jihua replied calmly, and Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, when Brother Chen died, I and you are in a similar war situation now, I remember you told me that this war is the beginning of our national rejuvenation, and the sacrifice must be great, including our friends and colleagues." ”

"Well, thank you, Headmaster." Zhuang Jihua leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the wilderness shuttling outside, from the inn to the north, the traces of war became less and less.

The guard work along the way was Zhuang Jihua's theater guard regiment on the periphery, and Chiang Kai-shek's guards on the inside. The truck in front was full of soldiers of the Guard Regiment, and in front of the sedan sat the Jeep a loyal guard.

"Cultural Revolution, you can't look like this, I can hand over all the Jiangbei battlefield to you, Wei Lihuang will lead the 14th Group Army into Shanxi, the reconstruction here will take up to two months, and after two months, all the troops here will go east, and your headquarters will also go east. The war is not over yet. Chiang Kai-shek turned his head to stare at him, his tone very solemn.

"Don't worry, principal," Zhuang Jihua met Chiang Kai-shek's gaze and sat up straight: "The students will not live up to the principal's trust." ”

"What do you do with Zou Pingfan and Zhang Lanfeng?" Chiang Kai-shek asked again that Zhuang Jihua's purpose of transferring Zou Pingfan's ministry to Xiaogan was not hidden from Chiang Kai-shek. In the later stage of the campaign, Zhang Lanfeng lost his sincerity to the 48th Army and led his troops to rectify.

"Zhang Lanfeng, I plan to send him to a military court, Zou Pingfan and others will be relieved of military power, and the cadres above the company level in the army will be re-studied, and the troops will all be reorganized." Zhuang Jihua's answer was relatively simple, but it was enough.

"It's a bit hasty," Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said: "Zhang Lanfeng can't be dealt with like this, there are hundreds of thousands of puppet troops in North China, such as Pang Bingxun, Wu Huawen, Sun Liangcheng, etc., how to treat Zhang Lanfeng will affect them." ”

"I know," Zhuang Jihua replied silently, but Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised, he looked at Zhuang Jihua suspiciously, Zhuang Jihua explained: "After all, the puppet army is not justified, their foundation is the Japanese, if we can defeat the Japanese army, the puppet army will have no basis for existence, besides, the puppet army is mainly a miscellaneous card, if they still control the army, after the war, they will be a group of warlords, it is better to take advantage of this time, justifiably dismiss their military positions." ”

"It's just one aspect, they can also go to GCD." Chiang Kai-shek shook his head in a deep depression and said that according to the intelligence of the military commanders, GCD carried out a large number of rebellion activities against the puppet army, and Wu Huawen and Hao Pengju in Shandong, Sun Liangcheng and Pang Bingxun in Hebei, all had subordinates anyway and pulled troops to join the Eighth Route Army.

"I'm not worried at all," Zhuang Jihua was very calm: "If they want to defect to GCD, I will easily destroy them, don't look at their tens of thousands, I can destroy them with one-tenth of my troops." Hmph, I don't admit it, it's useless for them to take refuge in anyone. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was silent, he had to admit that Zhuang Jihua's idea had great operability, and after the collapse of the Japanese, those puppet armies either defected to the GCD or surrendered to the government; But neither side will fully trust them, their troops will be reorganized, and all the questions are just the magnitude.

"That's good." Chiang Kai-shek leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, and said nothing more.

Zhuang Jihua silently retracted his gaze, he played a dim sum machine and deliberately led the problem to GCD, but Chiang Kai-shek did not continue to talk. But now Chiang Kai-shek is obviously in trouble, but he is no longer consulted as before, and he is not good at taking the initiative to ask. The more calm Chiang Kai-shek was, the more anxious Zhuang Jihua became. pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

Two days later, the convoy arrived at Laohekou, and Xu Zuyi led all the military and political officials of the theater headquarters to greet them outside the headquarters.

After Chiang Kai-shek got off the car, he greeted the generals of various departments, and joked lightly, Fan Hanjie who came from Henan, Li Pinxian who came from Dabie Mountain, Sun Lianzhong, who had already returned to Laohekou, Du Yuming and Song Xilian, who came back from Xiaogan, can be said to be a group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals surrounding Chiang Kai-shek.

The next day, in Laohekou, where colorful flags were fluttering, gongs and drums were noisy, and slogans were loud in the clouds, the residents of Laohekou were dispatched throughout the city, and on the playground of the county middle school, the theater guard brigade and the representatives of the meritorious heroes drawn from various armies sat neatly at the front of the venue.

Chiang Kai-shek, on behalf of the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission, awarded the Meritorious Service Certificate and the Flying Tiger Banner to the 22nd Group Army, the 101st Army, the 102nd Army, and the Special Forces with the Flying Tiger Banner. In addition to these units, the 77th, 78th, 60th, 41st and 45th Armies were also commended.

In addition, 20 officers and men at and above the regimental level, including Zhuang Jihua and Sun Zhen, were awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, and more than 10,000 officers and men in the entire theater were awarded various medals.

What is different from the past is that this time the commendation is not only from the military, but also from the local government and the front team. Zhongxiang County Government and Yicheng County Government, Kedian Town Government, Changshou Town Government, Northern Hubei Salvation Association, Kedian Salvation Association, Longevity Salvation Association, etc., were also commended by the National Government, as well as county party departments and former members, who received various medals including the Loyalty Medal.

The whole venue rang out with cheers from time to time, and everyone had a smile on their faces. The people attending the conference cheered for each medal, and the reporter seized the opportunity to snap countless films.

The Zhujie Conference represented the end of the entire post-war celebrations, but the war continued, the Ninth Theater advanced the front to southern Anhui after conquering Jiujiang, the 21st Group Army drove to eastern Henan, and the Fifth Army did not press on the retreating Japanese army, but handed over to the First Theater Tang Enbo Division.

The two-month campaign of northern Hubei came to an end, in which the Japanese army suffered a complete defeat and the commander of the 11th Army, Anan Weiji, committed suicide by seppuku after the battle line was stabilized.

After a short period of joy, the next day, at the theater headquarters, Chiang Kai-shek convened a meeting on the reorganization of the theater of operations, announcing a comprehensive reorganization of the troops of the five theaters.
