Section V Allies IX
Er Jihua and Yu Jishi quickly noticed Lin Wei's silence, both of them knew that the ridicule was not good news, and the three of them silently walked through the courtyard and entered Zhuang Jihua's office. \\ใ0m//(ะทZc๏ฝcom)
After Wu Ziniu brought tea to the three of them, Zhuang Jihua closed the door. Turned around and sat opposite Lin Wei. picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said to Lin Wei for a long time: "Brother Weiwen, what is the order?" Now let's talk about it. โ
Lin Wei smiled bitterly and said: "During the Cultural Revolution, my wife's visit to the United States was very successful, and Roosevelt agreed to most of our requests, which can reach 80,000 tons of aid to China every month, and provide us with 500 million US aid interest-free loans for the purchase of factory equipment." With these 500 million, we can build and expand more than 100 enterprises, but Marshall, in negotiations with his wife, asked for the adjustment of the command system of the expeditionary force, especially the commanders. โ
After finishing speaking, Lin Wei looked at Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua's face was expressionless, and Yu Jishi's face rose a little. He looked at Lin Wei and then at Zhuang Jihua. Don't know what to say. Having been in the core of power for a long time, Yu Jishi also knows how high the price offered by the Americans. With only the hundreds of factories, Chiang Kai-shek could not refuse.
Lin Wei looked at Zhuang Jihua's face worriedly, gradually. Zhuang Jihua's gloomy face gradually showed a smile, and a wisp of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Roosevelt is not bad, he actually made such a big deal, the principal has already agreed, change me. I'll say yes, too, but Brother Weiwen. Who is the Headmaster going to send to replace me? โ
Zhuang Jihua's attitude made Lin Wei breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still not sure: "Cultural Revolution, Chairman of the Committee, there is no way, now we must obtain the support of the United States." After you leave the Expeditionary Force, the Chairman intends to appoint you Deputy Chief of the General Staff or Head of the Popular Mobilization Department of the Military Council to preside over the construction of the reserve throughout the country
"It will take about two to three years for these more than 100 enterprises to be built" Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to hear Lin Wei's conditions, and muttered to himself: "With these more than 100 enterprises, the equipment we produce can meet the needs of about two million people." In this way, around Feng Nian, we can carry out a full-scale counteroffensive
"Cultural Revolution, what do you think, the chairman of the committee has not yet issued a formal order, he asked me to ask for your opinion, do you want to be the deputy chief of staff or the head of the Ministry of Popular Mobilization?"
Zhuang Jihua looked up at Lin Wei, still didn't mention it, but asked, "Who will replace me, Liangzhen?"
"First by Deputy Commander Yu". Lin Wei said: "As for who is in the end, the chairman wants to ask for your opinion
Chiang Kai-shek's previous tolerance this time was decided by himself in the past, and he never asked for the opinions of his subordinates in this way, and this time there was a faint smell of whoever Zhuang Jihua recommended.
"If you want to recommend, I will recommend Liangzhen" Zhuang Jihua said after a moment of silence: "Liangzhen is very familiar with the battlefield in Burma, and the troops are also familiar with him, the only worry is that Liangzhen may not be able to withstand the joint pressure of Stilwell and Alexander." โ
"Don't worry about this, Shi Qiwei will also be transferred out of the battlefield in Burma, and the chairman of the committee agreed that the US affairs advisory group will help us reorganize the army, and the chairman's goal is to raise two million troops within two years, and these two million troops will be the main force of our counteroffensive, Lin Wei added.
"Two million?. Zhuang Jihua immediately asked rhetorically: "How big of an advisory group do the Americans plan to send, and how many troops do they plan to send at one time?" โ
"In order to complete the reorganization of the troops within two years, it is not possible to rely on the Americans alone, we also have to reorganize ourselves, and the fifth, ninth, and first theaters will be reorganized separately. According to the statistics of the country, our current industrial capacity has been able to meet the needs of 1.2 million people, in addition, after the Japanese army advanced north and south. Lin Wei said, "So we have plenty of time to reorganize the army," Lin Wei said, "We have plenty of time to reorganize the army
There is a data that I have not been clear, Zhuang Jihua asked: "After the defense of Nanjing, we began to organize the troops, and after the first Jinpu Road operation, we began to reorganize the troops on a large scale, so far, how many troops have we reorganized in total?" This data is top secret, but Lin Wei served as one of Chiang Kai-shek's main military assistants. He knew for sure.
Lin Wei still said: "The chairman has been reorganizing the troops, but after every big battle. The casualties of the troops were very large, so they had to be reorganized, and each whole unit had to be reequipped after the reorganization, so the speed of weapon production limited the speed of the troops. So far, the 31st Group Army of the First Theater has been completely reorganized, the 34th Group Army of Hu Zongnan in the northwest has been reorganized, the 36th Group Army, the 60th Army, the 49th Group Army, and the 22nd Group Army of the Fifth Theater, the 11th Group Army, the 19th Group Army, and the 20th Army of the Ninth Theater, and the 47th Army and the 23rd Group Army of the Sulu Theater. Expeditionary force; In addition, there are part of the troops. For example, the 38th Division of the 33rd Group Army, the 20th Division of the Third Group Army, and the Fifth Group Army of the Strategic Reserve have reorganized a total of 1.4 million troops. Of these troops, 300,000 were in the 5th Theater, 400,000 were in the 9th Theater, and 200,000 were in the Northwest Camp. There are about 120,000 in the First Theater, 60,000 in the Third Theater, 50,000 in the Sulu Theater, 50,000 in the Strategic Reserve, and 200,000 in the Expeditionary Force
Lin Wei explained to Zhuang Jihua all the units that had been reorganized over the years and where they were deployed, but in the end he added: "However, during the Cultural Revolution, in my opinion, although these troops have been reorganized, their combat effectiveness is uneven, the 49th Group Army, the 11th Group Army, and the 60th Army can be classified as first-class, the 19th Group Army, the 34th Group Army, the 31st Group Army, and the 24th Group Army can be classified as second-class, and other troops can be classified as third-class."
Zhuang Jihua nodded: "Rearmament is not a simple change of clothes. It is also necessary to train tactical capabilities in order to give full play to the effectiveness of weapons. Brother Wei Jia, what is the situation of the Air Force?
"The situation in the Air Force is the best". Lin Wei said: "The Japanese Air Force is not strong in the first place, after going south. At present, we have more than 800 fighters of various types, including 200 under Chennault's command and more than 100 transport planes. There are 300 bombers, and Qian Dajun is now rich. Tanks, with the exception of the Fifth Army. The chairman of the committee ordered the formation of a new three. Tank brigades, a total of 570 tanks, we have three tank factories capable of producing 70 tanks per month. There are now six battalions of rocket artillery, but whether it is rocket artillery or tanks, there is a lack of training, and I think it has not yet formed combat effectiveness
After understanding the general situation, Zhuang Jihua leaned back in the chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Make a slight audible sound. According to Lin Wei's introduction, more than half of the Central Army has been reorganized, and less than 12 of the miscellaneous troops have been reorganized, that is, some of the troops that were reorganized when he was in charge of the Fifth Theater. Zhuang Jihua shook his head in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek's strength is still not enough, in fact, like the main force of the Gui Department, the Seventh Army, Zhang Zizhong of the Northwest Army obituary, "Even the Zhongbu is a very strong combat force, Zongcang can be redressed and reorganized" Zhibu can take the initiative.
"Hey," Yu Ji sighed. He didn't have the slightest joy in his heart to take over the expeditionary force, but was worried: "Brother Weiwen, the Americans didn't ask the principal to counterattack in Burma, right?" โ
"What's going on. I didn't get an order. Lin Wei shook his head and said. As the director of the Kunming camp, he knows the origin of the contradiction between Zhuang Jihua and Shi Qiwei.
"Stilwell, what do you say?" Zhuang Jihua said: "Americans have a common problem, self-righteousness, and great joy; In terms of warfare, they are not used to fighting at a disadvantage, let alone fighting in retreat, and I thought that after the two wars of Singapore and the Philippines, they had learned their lessons. But now it seems that they still don't. If this is the US ** team, then I can still follow him, counterattack and counterattack, and the loss is the lives of the US ** people anyway, but this is our ** squadron, use the blood of our Chinese soldiers to let him learn war, I will not do this kind of thing. โ
Saying that, he stood up and walked in front of Yu Jishi, and said solemnly: "Liangzhen, the Burma battlefield is a secondary battlefield, even if you give up the whole battle." Burma, but also to keep the troops, it doesn't matter if the Yunnan-Burma road is broken, we still have the "Tibet Highway, but if the troops are gone, it means that we must draw a large number of troops from the domestic battlefield to western Yunnan, which will seriously weaken the counteroffensive forces in the domestic battlefield, originally we wanted to use Burma to attract the Japanese army to draw troops from the country, if we want to draw troops from the country, it will be contrary to our strategic purpose, even if you win, it will be a failure. โ
"Don't worry, Cultural Revolution" Yu Jishi suppressed his anger, and he said fiercely: "Even if you leave, I will not counterattack." According to Stilwell's style of play, I'm afraid we've been covered by the devil. I am afraid that most of these hundreds of thousands of brothers have already buried their bones in Burma. โ
Madame reflected. Roosevelt did not object to our strategy, and Marshall agreed to open a road in northwestern Burma from India to western Yunnan. โ
Zhuang Jihua was a little relaxed in his heart, if Stilwell was transferred out of the Burma battlefield and Marshall agreed to China's strategy, then the American generals who took over would not have such a strong willingness to counterattack, and Yu Jishi's life would be better. Although the expeditionary force was not trained by him, it was painstakingly built by him. The chief officers were all hand-picked by him, and they can't be lost here in vain.
"Our strategy" Zhuang Jihua repeated a sentence, then turned his head to stare at Lin Wei: "Was it what we discussed at the beginning?" Use Burma to attract Japanese troops, and then launch a counteroffensive at home. โ
Lin Wei nodded, and Zhuang Jihua thought about it. Suddenly I feel that things are going too well, and Americans are so easy to talk? Don't regret it in the future, especially since Stilwell is not a person who gives up easily.
You can count on the Americans for everything. Zhuang Jihua added lightly, and then said to Yu Jishi: "Liangzhen, after I leave, you must not easily agree to their counteroffensive plan, you must remember that Myanmar is a secondary battlefield, and China is the main battlefield." Be wary of the British. โ
Yu Jishi nodded, Lin Wei sighed in his heart, it seems that the British have left a bad impression on him. Finally, Zhuang Jihua said: "Liangzhen." I'm going to take some people with me. โ
"Who are you going to take?" Yu Jishi was a little apprehensive in his heart, several of the generals in the expeditionary force who were most capable of fighting were Zhuang Jihua's descendants, and he was going to transfer these people away, how would he fight in the future.
"I will not adjust the combat generals for the time being, why fear, leave it to you first, and after the defense plan is done. If you go again, all the secretarial sections will follow me, and the special forces will take half of them. โ
"Okay" Yu Jishi promised that as long as he didn't transfer generals like Xia Yanglin and Dai Anlan who could fight, he was a little puzzled: "Cultural Revolution, I don't understand, why are you afraid of Gong Chu, these party rebels, why do you trust them so much." โ
"Liangzhen, why don't you understand" Zhuang Jihua sighed, a little hated that iron could not become steel: "You have already seen Gong Chu's talent, tell me what to say." โ
Yu Jishi was speechless, since the Burma war, Gong Chu has made great contributions to ensuring logistics. He Wei is even more interested, and he has his shadow behind several major decisions. He was the first to see through the Japanese army's detours, and that alone is enough to prove his superhuman talent.
Seeing that Yu Jishi didn't answer, Zhuang Jihua continued: "I am the most relieved to them, and they left." They will never be forgiven, so they will never return...... On the contrary, as long as they are trusted, they will give full play to their talents, this is not afraid, if there is a chance, I will give him a group army. โ
It is no wonder that "the generals of the army are willing to fight under Zhuang Jihua, and these generals are willing to rely on his eclecticism in employing people." Lin Wei sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but compare Zhuang Jihua with Chiang Kai-shek. found that they had their own set of personnel in employing people, Chiang Kai-shek was good at imperial techniques, and let his subordinates contain each other, so that no one could form a threat; And Zhuang Jihua is more bold in employing people. Xia Yanglin, Zhang Lingfu, Lu Ruishan, Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang of the former; the current Huang Botao and Yu Chengwan; As for the cadres in the Southwest Development Team, there are even more.
The news that Zhuang Jihua was leaving soon spread throughout the headquarters, and the officers of the headquarters were talking about it, and the front-line generals were also very unhappy, Lu Ruishan and Xia Yanglin did not talk about them, and even Lu Han, Yu Chengwan, and Sun Liren, who had always been steady, were quite complaining, thinking that it was inappropriate not to change the commander of the expeditionary force at this time. The mood of the generals affected the troops, and the morale of the troops began to be faintly uneasy.
Lin Wei sensed this emotion in time, so he quietly spread the request of the Americans, but unexpectedly, the generals were even more disapproving, except for the extreme anger towards Shi Qiwei and Alexander. They were also dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's concessions.
", what if you win the battle! How is that foreign devil a Qin bolt, commander, the next time he comes, Lao Tzu will shoot him. Lu Ruishan scolded his mother when he arrived at the headquarters, and shouted in the headquarters without any scruples, ignoring the whispering generals around him and the large number of reporters in the distance.
"Lu Ruishan is talking nonsense." Zhuang Jihua hurriedly came out to drink, and Lu Ruishan's big eyes rolled wildly: "Commander." We're wronged. "Fart!" Zhuang Jihua's tone was extremely harsh, originally he only planned to announce it in a small area, but the army was unstable. He had no choice but to convene an enlarged meeting, which was attended by all officers at and above the brigade level of the expeditionary force.
"Commander, then Stilwell will not fight, and if we follow his battle plan, we will have lost a long time ago." Huang Botao was also uncomfortable, and it was easy to look forward to a boss who appreciated him. didn't expect him to be in him for a long time, which made him very sorry: "No, let's write to the chairman of the committee together and implore the commander to stay." โ
"I think so." Sun Liren first expressed his support, and then Liao Yaoxiang, Yu Chengwan, Shi Guanhuo and others expressed their support
Among all the people, only Chen Mingren and Zhang Lun did not speak. In fact, most of the officers of the 66th Army just echoed the voice, and they were not Zhuang Jihua's descendants. Whoever is the commander is the same.
"Nonsense". Zhuang Jihua's tone became more stern. He glanced at the generals present with a cold gaze, and when his gaze swept there, the generals there closed their mouths, and the audience fell silent. He slowly walked down the steps and walked among the generals: "I am not comfortable leaving the expeditionary force, but the soldiers must obey orders. Unconditional obedience to orders! Transferring me away was the result of the principal's consideration of the entire war situation, and his old man was thinking about the entire war of resistance, not just Burma
"During the war, it is quite normal to adjust the commander. What are you not satisfied with! Isn't the Expeditionary Force the National Revolutionary Army! Could it be that the Supreme Commander will not be able to command you! โ
On the surface, Zhuang Jihua looked very angry, but in his heart he was very satisfied, these generals were worthy of being raised by his own hands, and the years of war had made them trust him very much, obey him, and be willing to follow him.
"The war is not over, and once you adjust the commander, you will lose confidence in victory? Can't others lead you to victory? Ridiculous! โ
"Commander, we are not targeting Deputy Commander Yu" Shi Guanyi stood up and said loudly: "We just feel unfair!" โ
"That's even more ridiculous!" Zhuang Jihua's voice became more and more severe: "During the Honghu Anti-Japanese War, the ** soldiers shouted that I would die and survive the country, and rushed to the Japanese artillery fire, what did they want?" I think the greater your officials, the lower your consciousness! โ
Zhuang Jihua was scolded. So that all the generals didn't dare to mention anything to the book, let alone anything to go home, Lu Ruishan had a black face, his nostrils were spitting, and he was snorting angrily.
"Okay, come in for a meeting after Zhuang Jihua beat everyone. Turn around and walk into the venue.
After the meeting began, Lin Wei read out Chiang Kai-shek's order, Zhuang Jihua was transferred to the General Staff as deputy chief of the general staff, the expeditionary force was taken over by Yu Jishi, Lu Han Zheng Dongguo was appointed deputy commander, and Zheng Dongguo was removed from the post of commander of the Fifth Army. Qiu Qingquan took over as commander of the Fifth Army.
After reading out the order, Lin Wei asked Zhuang Jihua and Yu Jishi to speak, and Zhuang Jihua stood up first: "You all know very well the strategic purpose of the Burma operation, northern Burma is the top priority, so we must hold northwest Burma, as long as we hold northwest Burma, the Japanese will be mobilized by us, and we will create conditions for a counteroffensive on the domestic battlefield."
"The adjustment of the chain of command can cause mood swings in the troops, so you have to lead by example and stabilize the troops, otherwise the strategic purpose of the Burma operation will fail
After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he sat down, Yu Jishi stood up and looked at the generals sitting at the conference table, coughed lightly twice before saying, "I am as surprised as everyone else about Commander Zhuang's departure." We have not been in Burma for a long time, but the main reason for the complexity of the Burma battlefield is the huge difference between the Allied generals and our understanding of the Japanese and friendly forces, and I think that in this regard, we have always been right, and our allied friends have always been wrong. Therefore, for a long time to come, we will carry out defensive operations to achieve our strategic objectives
Lin Wei sighed softly in his heart, Yu Jishi's speech showed that he still adhered to the strategy and tactics formulated by Zhuang Jihua, but what if the Americans continued to ask for a counteroffensive? The quarrel is bound to continue, and then it will be a mess again.
In addition, Lin Wei judged from the measures taken when appointing Yu Ji that Chiang Kai-shek began to vigorously promote the Whampoa generals, and Zhuang Jihua did not say it. Hu Zongnan of the Northwest was appointed deputy director of the Northwest Battalion and deputy commander of the Eighth Theater. the actual exercise of the powers of the Commander; Guan Lin took charge of the Sulu Theater, and there were also Du Xingming, Song Xiyao, Feng Shengfa and others who were ready to be promoted.
Lin Wei had a hunch that after the reorganization of the army, it would be these generals of the Huang Realm system who would command these reorganized and well-equipped troops.
"Find an opportunity to transfer Zhang Lun back to China. Let Ziliang take over the 66th Army. โ
After the meeting, Zhuang Jihua whispered to Yu Jishi that this thought had been wandering in his mind for a long time. Although the 66th Army defeated the Japanese-Thai coalition army, on the whole, the 66th Army's performance in the early operations was not good, and Zhuang Jihua believed that Zhang Lun, as the army commander, was responsible and should be replaced.
"Also. Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang are both manufacturable materials. Find an opportunity for the new 22nd Division to become an independent army
These two sentences represent Zhuang Jihua's vision for the construction of the future expeditionary force, and he asked Yu Jishi to implement it, which is actually a good sale to him. Yu Jishi nodded frequently, although he spoke freely at the meeting. But actually. He has no bottom in his heart, except for the Americans, another problem is that there is no direct force of his descendants in the expeditionary force, and now these generals are all left by Zhuang Jihua, in case there is any accident. He probably won't be able to command this group of generals, of course. It is even more impossible to scold like Zhuang Jihua.
"Cultural Revolution, I have already called the principal and asked for reinforcements for the three armies." Speaking of which. He said hesitantly: "I want to transfer the 74th Army, the Cultural Revolution, and I need you to say a few kind words in front of the principal at that time."
"With your relationship with the principal, the principal will disagree? That requires my kind words. Zhuang Jihua said lightly, Yu Jishi was a little anxious, he thought that Zhuang Jihua thought that he wanted to exclude the people he left, and immediately explained: "Cultural Revolution, I don't mean to exclude anyone, the 74th Army is my old army." I know every officer of his, the door"
"Liangzhen, you're too worried" Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly. Turning to look at Yu Jishi: "We have been friends for nearly twenty years, will I still not believe you?" Moreover, the 74th Army was only one army, and this army alone could neither hold Burma nor counterattack Rangoon. Liangzhen, I send you a word, justice and unity; Treat all armies fairly, unite all generals, and Shi Jian and Ziliang are our classmates. They will definitely support you
"Justice and solidarity". Yu Jishi muttered twice, and then nodded: "Don't worry." I'll do it. However, I still have to ask for your help in the affairs of the Seventy-fourth Army. What I'm worried about is that Xue Yue refuses to let go
The 74th Army shined in the victory at Wanjialing and has become the first-class main force in the Ninth Theater. The commander was reluctant to let go, not to mention that Xue Yue had always been upright, and he had Chen Cheng's support. So if he is resolute. I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek will also give in.
"Okay, you bring it up, I'll do it, after Zhuang Jihua understood, he naturally agreed, he believed that with his friendship with Yu Jishi, he would not leave him in the old subordinates of the expeditionary army.
The two are more in one, calling for monthly pass support!!!!
