Section 1 Dispatch of Troops II

"Cultural Revolution, don't get excited, there may be some twists and turns in sending troops to Burma, and Britain agrees with the world. /。 qВ5, cOm/ You should know that the headmaster will not send troops without the consent of the British, that Dennis has made it clear that the British Empire does not need Chinese to protect. Yu Jishi had a sneer on his face: "And even if you go, you have to be under the command of the British, if these things are not resolved, I'm afraid that the time will come." If we go in, we can only become cannon fodder for others. ”

Zhuang Jihua laughed angrily, by this time. The British are still clinging to the shell of the paper paste of the empire on which the sun never sets, but the paper paste is paper paste. He's not bronze, he's not iron, it's broken with a single poke.

"Alright then, when they beg us, we'll settle the ledger then." Zhuang Jihua gritted his teeth and rattled loudly.

Yu Jishi's heart was cold, it was the first time he saw Zhuang Jihua so angry, the British plus Chen Cheng had completely angered him, he would definitely be able to play the expeditionary force, and he would definitely teach the British.

This time Chiang Kai-shek made Zhuang Jihua wait for a long time, and it was not until the middle of the moon that he let him enter the office, office, and when he entered, he noticed that except for Lin Wei. Chen Cheng and He Yingqin were also in the office.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was a little tired. However, the spirit was very good, the Soviet-Japanese war could only be said to reduce the burden on China, and the prospects of the war were still uncertain, but when the Pacific War broke out, Japan had only one result left.

Although the British are arrogant, the message from the United States is encouraging, and he keenly feels that China is a very important link in the US Asian strategy, and China's international status will be greatly improved.

"After Pearl Harbor, the United States entered the war. As a result, the situation in the world has changed drastically, and the situation will further become favorable to us, and according to the new situation, our military operations and deployments will also be changed. ”

To Zhuang Jihua's surprise, Chiang Kai-shek did not talk about the expeditionary force, but about the domestic battlefield. This made Zhuang Jihua feel bad. The expeditionary force seemed to be drifting away from his grasp.

"Recently, there have been frequent movements of Japanese troops in the Ninth Theater," Chen Cheng said, and then opened the leather bag he brought. took out the military map and spread it out: "After entering the winter, the Soviet-Japanese battlefield turned calm, and Anan only went to a division to reinforce the main division." Xue Yue believed that the Japanese army might launch a second attack on Changsha, and for this reason he hoped that the 6th and 7th Heavy Artillery Regiments under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Military Commission could be transferred to the 9th Theater, and in addition, he hoped to transfer an army from the 4th Theater. ”

The Fourth Theater has jurisdiction over Liangguang and southern Fujian. After the Japanese army launched the Pacific War, it still did not attack Guangzhou and Hong Kong, but used Hainan Island as a troop gathering place, and the 50,000 Japanese troops under Yamashita Fengwen set out from Hainan Island.

"Commander Li Zongren of the Fifth Theater reported. The Japanese army in front of the Fifth Theater was relatively calm, but it was actively building a defensive line, so the movement of the 11th Army was already clear, and if there was a military operation, it would be to attack Changsha in the south.

"On the North China side, Commander Zhu De of the Yicha Theater reported that after Okamura Ninji took office as the commander of the North China Dispatch Army. Recently, the Japanese army has increased the number of divisions and three mixed brigades to North China, and Netmura Ningji is planning to launch an offensive against the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in Yinan and Chahar. ”

"Commander Yan of the Second War Zone reported that the Japanese army in Shanxi was assembled in Jinnan and there was a possibility of crossing the river."

"Commander Guan Linzheng of the Sulu Theater reported. After Matsui Shigen assumed the post of commander of the Second Army, he first encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army and our army on the Jiaodong Peninsula. Our army suffered large losses, almost all of our army's base areas in Jiaodong were lost, only two of the original six detachments remained, and the remaining four were either broken up or surrendered, and the losses of the Eighth Route Army were also very large, but compared to our army, they were much smaller.

After Matsui Shigen got in the way in Jiaodong, he turned his attention to Lunan and Luxinan, and recently transferred two from Jiaodong. The brigade is stationed on the periphery of Yimeng Mountain, but our army has two armies in Yimeng Mountain, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and Li Xianzhou's 92nd Army, both of which have strong combat effectiveness and should have no problem. ”

"Now the most critical situation is still the Ninth Theater, and it is recommended that the 6th and 7th Heavy Artillery Regiments be assigned to the Ninth Theater, and the 36th Army and the 46th Army will be transferred from the Fourth Theater to the Ninth Theater."

Zhuang Jihua listened to Chen Cheng's introduction, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, the Ninth Theater has strong troops and six group armies. The total number of troops reached 500,000. Among them, the 74th Army, the 18th Army, the 10th Army, the 24th Group Army, the 15th Group Army, and the 19th Group Army. These troops are brave and good at fighting. Moreover, the troops of the Ninth Theater had the greatest strength and the most equipment in the early stage of reorganization, and they should be able to repel Anan's offensive without reinforcements at all.

He felt a gaze lingering on him, he raised his head just in time to meet He Yingqin's gaze, the eyes of the two collided, and He Yingqin smiled meaningfully.

"Ninth War Zone" Chiang Kai-shek condensed the Xuan. Then nodded: "Yes, tell Xue Yue." Be sure to thwart the Japanese attack, get a victory, and show the allies. ”

Suddenly, Zhuang Jihua was a little confused. Chiang Kai-shek called him to do something, during this time he devoted himself to the preparation of the expeditionary force, and did not know much about the overall situation, if this meeting was to discuss the overall strategy, he could hardly intervene. The "Cultural Revolution" was when Zhuang Jihua was confused. Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth to call him, he turned his head to look at Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek looked at him and said: "The British do not agree to the expeditionary force to enter Burma for fortification, so the expeditionary force does not need to be formed for the time being, and I plan to transfer two armies back from the army in western Yunnan, and the remaining two armies will build a defensive line on the spot, what do you think?" ”

"Headmaster, I think the Japanese will definitely invade Burma, and the British will definitely not be able to hold Burma. When the time comes, the British and the Americans will ask us to send troops to Burma, and then we will transfer troops from the interior, and these transfers will not talk about morale, and time will be delayed, so it is better to move nothing now and see what the British want to do. ”

Chiang Kai-shek paused slightly, then fell silent, Zhuang Jihua stood up and continued: "I have been to Burma to investigate, and the British army in Burma has only one dissatisfied colonial division, with low morale, poor equipment, and low combat effectiveness, and it is impossible for them to hold Burma. Only three days after the Japanese attacked, Bangkok was lost, but the Japanese only committed two divisions. This is evident from the combat effectiveness of the British army.

Speaking of Singapore, I think that the British army will not be able to hold Singapore either, and the situation in Southeast Asia is likely to be irreparable, and to hold Burma is to leave a base for counterattacking Southeast Asia, and the United States will not tolerate the war situation to continue to erode, and once Britain realizes that they cannot hold Burma, they will beg us to send troops. We'll still have to fight when the time comes. Headmaster, don't worry, the British will come to us. ”

I listened to Deputy Chief of Staff Chen's briefing on the domestic war situation, principal, although I don't have a sharp understanding of the situation, I still want to say a few words" Zhuang Jihua thought that this was because Chen Cheng saw that he couldn't get the commander of the expeditionary force, so he simply took advantage of the situation to disband the expeditionary force, so he was particularly angry in his heart. It was decided to give him a lesson first.

"The Ninth Theater has more than 500,000 troops. Most of them were well-equipped and were the first units to receive reorganization, so the Ninth Theater of Operations seemed dangerous. It's not dangerous, and as long as you deal with it properly, you shouldn't have a problem winning a battle.

On the contrary, I think that the dangerous areas are the Sulu Theater and North China, and we will not talk about North China for the time being, the Sulu Theater is isolated behind the enemy, and the entire theater has 300,000 troops, but only the 47th Army and the 25th Division are well-equipped and have combat effectiveness, and after more than a year of fighting, they have received very little replenishment, and their combat effectiveness will decline very quickly, if the Japanese army launches an attack. They will face a difficult situation, so the student suggests that Lixuan supplement the Sulu theater; In addition, the North China side should also pay attention to the fact that although the Eighth Route Army did not obey the command, it was after all an integral part of China's anti-Japanese forces, and it was necessary to remind them.

Chen Cheng's face turned white, although Zhuang Jihua didn't mention him a word, the strategy he formulated was opposite to him everywhere. He Yingqin's eyes were full of smiles, Chen Cheng knew everything about the thoughts of the expeditionary force, regardless of the fact that he knew that this commander either fell on Zhuang Jihua or Chen Cheng's system, he had no hope at all, and he wanted to be controlled by Zhuang Jihua in comparison. He hoped that Zhuang Jihua Zhuo and Chen Cheng would fight and suppress Chen Cheng's arrogance.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't seem to notice the thoughts of several generals under him, and he shook his head: "The Ninth War Zone is still playing strong. There is no major war on the Guangdong side, and the troops are also empty there, just leave two armies, and the others are better than being transferred to the north, strengthened to the Ninth Theater, and told Xue Yue that this battle must be fought well, and if it is not fought well, he will not be the deputy commander of the theater. ”

"As for the Sulu War Zone" He was silent, turned his head to look at Zhuang Jihua, and originally wanted to veto it directly. At the end of the day, he changed his words: "The Sulu Theater is isolated behind the enemy, and its strategic position is very important, and it must be ensured, but it is very difficult to provide logistical supplies to the Sulu Theater, and I told Guan Linzheng to find a way to solve it by myself, and I can't count on the rear." ”

Zhuang Jihua Lixuan interjected: "Principal, Sulu's strategic position is very important, if we lose it and others take it, the price we paid in the early stage will be in vain." ”

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated and asked suspiciously: "Cultural Revolution, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Headmaster, you don't think that Concave will let go of northern Jiangsu and Shandong, if we can't stop the Japanese attack, they will use the slogan of fighting the Japanese army to fight the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu, southern and southwestern Lu. What do we do then? Is it the price to pay for two more provinces? Zhuang Jihua's tone was straightforward. Chiang Kai-shek was not allowed to turn back in the slightest.

"Headmaster, the students still suggest that emergency airlift supplies to the Sulu Theater should at least meet the operational needs of the two armies." Zhuang Jihua said.

"Is it that serious?" Chen Cheng asked silently.

"If you wait for the Japanese to start attacking. Then it would be too late. Zhuang Jihua glanced at Chen Cheng. He said unequivocally: "In addition, the development of Guizhou for two years has greatly improved the logistics supply of our army, and I have roughly estimated that as long as it takes another year, our industrial capacity will be able to meet the operational needs of 1.8 million people, so we can now start to lay out a counteroffensive, so strengthening the five theaters is the primary task." The Ninth Theater and the Five Theaters are our two major focuses, the Ninth Theater is based on defense, and the Fifth Theater should be our counteroffensive bridgehead. ”

"Zhuang Cultural Revolution, you finally made a mistake Chen Cheng was excited in his heart, although the Pacific War had just begun, he already felt that Chiang Kai-shek's thinking was beginning to change, and he no longer cared about the Japanese. It was not a counteroffensive, as long as the United States defeated Japan, the Nationalist Government would only have to accept the lost territory. Is it necessary to spend so much effort to beat the country to a pulp?

Chiang Kai-shek frowned, counterattack or something. He hadn't thought about it, at least for now, and he didn't see that the war had reached a turning point. The United States entered the war to ensure the final victory, but it is not yet clear when victory will come.

The strength of the Japanese is still very strong, and the counteroffensive is still too early, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said: "The affairs of the Sulu theater will be done according to your plan." Respectfully. Immediately airlift the operational needs of the three armies to the Sulu Theater, and hand them over to me after the plan is settled. ”

He Yingqin nodded in agreement, but he deliberately asked, "Chairman, what about the expeditionary force?" ”

"The British haven't talked about it yet, but the Cultural Revolution also makes sense, we still have to go to Burma to fight in the end, so let's do it, the troops that have already arrived in western Yunnan are not adjusted, and the Cultural Revolution serves as the commander of the expeditionary force. Luo Zhuoying served as the deputy commander, the chief of staff was served by Xiao Yisu, the southwest camp was abolished, and the Kunming camp was set up, with Lin Wei as the director and seriously as the deputy director. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's remarks, coupled with the mud, fully embodied his leadership art. However, Zhuang Jihua felt that something was wrong.

"Principal, the Southwest Camp is about to be revoked, what should the Southwest Development Team do? In what way does it work? Zhuang Jihua hurriedly asked, a trace of mockery flashed on Chen Cheng's face, but Zhuang Jihua didn't see it.

"The Kunming camp was mainly in charge of warfare, including southern Yunnan and Burma. Regardless of the local administration, the local administration work in Kunming, Guizhou Province is still carried out under the auspices of the Southwest Development Team. Chiang Kai-shek said.

"What about Sichuan?" Zhuang Jihua asked in Lifu.

Chiang Kai-shek paused before he said warmly: "During the Cultural Revolution, some people in the Political Council and the Executive Yuan have long been talking about it. It is believed that the Southwest Development Team should not be in charge of local administration, so the Fourth "Southwest Development Team is temporarily removed from the Southwest Development Team and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Committee, but in order to make a smooth transition, Chiang Ching-kuo will concurrently serve as the secretary of the Central Committee of the Third Youth League." Deputy Director of the Materials Bureau, Secretary-General of the Sichuan Provincial Government

Zhuang Jihua didn't hear the long list of titles behind. I was already furious in my heart, Chiang Kai-shek, you are too inauthentic, this river has not yet crossed, you have to tear down the bridge, and you are not afraid of falling into the river?

He suppressed his anger and calmly said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Commission, the students think that the Southwest Development Network has just been halfway through, and it is still early to succeed. Sichuan is a relatively mature area with experience, and it is necessary to continue to deepen it, so Sichuan should continue to be under the jurisdiction of the Southwest Development Team for the time being, as for the Kunming camp. The students thought that there was no need, they could keep the southwest camp, and since the students were serving as the expeditionary force, they did not need to serve as the director of the first shift, and there was also a watch, not to play away, and to call for monthly tickets to support the reward

The first shift is complete, and there is another one, don't go away, call for the monthly pass",!
