Section 1 Hibernation XI

In desperation. \ใ€Qb(5).coM\(ะทZcncom) had to fly to Changsha in person to discuss with Xue Yue. Xue Yue evaded punishment and transferred Song Ruike, commander of the 199th Division, and Peng Shiliang, commander of the 5th Division, to Sichuan for reorganization, and Chen Cheng had no choice but to make concessions again, thinking that he wanted to focus on the whole army and no longer concurrently serve as the commander of the Ninth Theater, so Xue Yue transferred the Wen Division composed of the Guizhou Army from the Ninth Theater, and Chiang Kai-shek personally ordered the transfer of the 7th Division from the First Theater to join the reorganization.

It is the original Northwest Army 17th Route Army adapted, this unit is Yang Hucheng's descendant troops, participated in the Xi'an Incident, after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the 17th Route Army was reorganized into the 38th Army and the 96th Army, respectively by Zhao Shoushan and Li Xingzhong as the commander, participated in the Xinkou Campaign, Zhongtiao Mountain Guard, and then transferred to Henan under the command of the First Theater, the two armies were reorganized into the Fourth Army.

Belonging to the 96th Army, the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's move was too obvious, the Fourth Army was talking about it from top to bottom, and Sun Weiru, commander of the Group Army, and Li Xing, commander of the 96th Army, found Wei Lihuang hoping to reorganize in the theater, but Wei Lihuang said that he had no choice, but Wei Lihuang agreed to put the provisional 16th Division under the command of the army. Sun Weiru had no choice but to accept the order.

By the beginning of October, the first batch of integrated troops had entered the city"; It was also at this time that Myanmar entered the dry season, and the war clouds over Myanmar were getting thicker and thicker.

After the defeat of Lashio, the Japanese rebuilt the 22nd Division and the 56th Division, but these two divisions were placed in Singapore, and instead the 46th Division of the Japanese Army in Singapore, as well as the Lead-in Regiment, the Lead-in Regiment, and the 40th Division transferred from the Soviet-Russian battlefield and the Chinese battlefield, plus the original four divisions, the Japanese army assembled a total of eight divisions on the Mandalay front.

In contrast, the expeditionary force originally had five armies, the 66th Army, the 103rd Army, the 58th Army, and the New Eighth Army, and the "Kou Army", and mobilized the 70th Army, the 54th Army, and the 65th Army; The British army assembled two divisions in northwestern Myanmar and on the Burma-Indian border, and two divisions in southern Burma.

Shojiro Iida was under unprecedented pressure, and in order to support the offensive, the military headquarters terminated the planned operation in New Guinea and concentrated supplies in Burma, a battle he must win or apologize.

In order to disguise his strategic intentions, Shojiro Iida first made various moves on the Indo-Burmese border. First, the 35th Division, which had been replenished with a large number of new troops, was transferred to Dalemi Haka on the Indo-Burmese border, and then there was a large-scale inspection of Dalemi and Haka. The Japanese Fourth Fleet was transferred to Rangoon in preparation for an attack to the west. His actions made Alexander nervous, and he transferred the Anglo-Indian 7th Division from northwestern Burma back to Burma to garrison the Imphal area.

Iida's actions deceived Alexander, but he did not hide from Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi secretly flew from Kunming to Myitkyina, where he and Stilwell discussed the defense of northern Burma. Yu Jishi put forward Zhuang Jihua's plan, using the 66th Army to defend the Jingdong line on the eastern front and adopting a movement defense method to resist the Japanese army; With the 58th Army and the 54th Army defending the central line of Lashio, a large-depth defense was adopted, and the bottom line of the eastern and central lines was the Sino-Burmese border.

On the most critical western front, which is the vital northwest of Myanmar and must be defended, Zhuang Jihua's plan is to concentrate the main five armies. Three armies were held at Yumaohan and Ba Mo, and the remaining two armies were assembled at Myitkyina to prepare for a counterattack.

Stilwell raised only one question about this plan, the combat mission of the British army, after the transfer of the Anglo-Indian 7th Division, the British army left the 5th Indian Division in northwest Burma, this unit was transferred from the Middle East theater and is currently held in Myitkyina.

Yu Jishi believed that the British could participate in the final counteroffensive, or retreat to India. After hearing this, Shi Qiwei couldn't help but shake his head, although Zhuang Jihua was gone, the Chinese leader still refused to believe the British. Bai Chongxi thinks that there is a big loophole in the plan, the eastern front is too weak, the 66th Army cannot block the attack of the Japanese army, and it is bound to retreat to the country, once the Japanese army crosses the Salween River, that is, the Nu River, it can outflank the rear road of our army on the central line, so the Lashio blocking battle will not achieve the goal of consuming the Japanese army, so it is necessary to increase troops to the eastern front, at least one more division, in order to strengthen the defensive strength of the eastern front.

However, Bai Chongxi did not transfer troops from the Western Front, but from the country, and formed a new Gang Division of the four security regiments in western Yunnan and Central Yunnan, and handed them over to Zhang Gun of the 66th Army.

On the western front, Bai Chongxi believed that there were too many blocking forces, there were many rivers in northwest Burma, high mountains and dense forests, and there were only three routes to attack from south to north, one was to attack Myitkyina from the front through Maohan Moning; the other went up the Nmei Kai River via Bamo and attacked Myitkyina from the southeast; Finally, it was from the narrow strip of land between the Chindun and Uyu rivers to the northwest, and attacked Myitkyina from behind. But the road is very difficult and dangerous, there are almost no normal roads, only a few horse gangs.

"After the Battle of Lashio, Iida Shojiro will never dare to take any more risks" Bai Chongxi resolutely analyzed: "He will definitely go to Ba Mo, conquering Ba Mo can cut off the eastern and central lines, after the east can outflank Lashio, and the west can attack Myitkyina." Therefore, his main force must attack Ba Mo, so our army must defend Ba Mo with the strongest force, โ€ป The 02nd Army is in the weeping, only in this way can the world be able to eliminate the uproar of the Japanese army...

The 103rd Army has achieved outstanding results and is currently recognized as the strongest unit in the expeditionary force. However, Yu Jishi disagreed, admitting that Bai Chongxi's analysis was not wrong, but he was unwilling to invest the 103rd Army in the blocking battle to consume it.

"Let the New Eighth Army defend Bamo, the New Eighth Army is to block in the Battle of Lashio, Brother Shi Jian is also good at blocking Yu Jishi, said: "Sun Liren is good at attacking, and the New Eighth Army is definitely stronger than the 103rd Army."

Bai Chongxi did not insist, the New Eighth Army became famous in the last battle, they blocked four Japanese divisions with the strength of one army, although they suffered great losses, but also created the 35th Division and the 33rd Division, Yu Jishi chose them, and there was nothing wrong with Yu Jishi's choice of them.

For the British army, Bai Chongxi thought that it could also be used, and it could be used in counterattacks or pursuits, and he suggested that Stilwell negotiate with Alexander, so that Alexander would hand over the command of the British army to Stilwell and place the 5th Indian Division northwest of Myitkyina.

The Japanese army began to operate in mid-October, and it was clear that the deployment of the squadron did not hide from Iida Shojiro, who had little interest in the weak eastern front, and only sent the rebuilt 56th Division to cross the Burma-Thai border to attack the 66th Army, which was held south of Jingdong with the 66th Army.

The 55th Division, the 46th Division, and the 18th Division formed the Central Line Attack Corps, which was still under the command of Shinichi Tanaka, commander of the 18th Division, and followed the route of the last attack to Lashio, opening the door to western Yunnan.

The main four divisions led by, led by, and Wu under his personal leadership, and Yu Chengwan was once again ordered to hold on to Ba Mo, and the battle in northern Myanmar officially began.

The war in Myanmar was raging, and Chiang Kai-shek also began to work in Chongqing.

After several months of preparation, Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong left Chongqing at the same time, which was the simultaneous departure of the two cores of Chongqing, and Chiang Kai-shek thought that this was a signal from Zhuang Jihua to him, and expressed his agreement to reorganize Chongqing's administration and party affairs.

The first change was made to Chongqing's party affairs system, with Guan Zhigao, director of the Chongqing party department from the Southwest Development Team, being transferred, Chen Lifu sending Li Yanguo to take over as director of the party department, and two-thirds of the party directors of the 16 counties in Chongqing were transferred, and half of the county magistrates were transferred.

After getting Chiang Kai-shek's acquiescence, Chen Cheng began to rectify the party affairs system in Yunnan again, and his mother was transferred out, and Chen Lifu's confidant Zhang Jinyun took over, but Chen Lifu did not adjust the director of the Sichuan Provincial Party Department.

Xin has always refused to hand over power, claiming that he was elected by all Kuomintang members after election, and that the Chongqing party department has no right to remove him from office, and that it cannot appoint a county party director.

Xin's consistent move was supported by all party directors in the 16 counties surrounding Chongqing, and the Sichuan provincial party department also issued a statement supporting Xin and opposing a change in the current way party officials are formed.

"Before the development of the southwest, officials at all levels were appointed by superiors, which produced a huge loophole, that is, the officials appointed by the higher authorities were not only lower, the lower feelings could not be conveyed, the people's suffering could not be conveyed to the ears of meat eaters, the combat effectiveness of party members was extremely low, and the party affairs organs at all levels had a vain name, and it was this kind of loophole that Zhuang Jihua carried out a drastic reform of the party department, and it is undeniable that this reform was very successful, and the combat effectiveness of the Chongqing party department was the strongest in the countryIf the method he adopted could enhance the combat effectiveness of the party department, it would be acceptable, but obviously, his method made the Kibe go down the old path of the past, and it is conceivable that it will not be long before there will be no more party department with combat effectiveness, and the party department is full of groups of bureaucrats who can only be officials

In response to this party dispute, which caused huge waves in the press circles, the "Yuzhou Evening News" became a resolute defender of the Southwest Development Team, and successively published articles criticizing the central party department, while the "People's Review" and "Social News" controlled by the central party department waved their flags and shouted for Chen Lifu.

Xin's consistent counterattack was echoed by the directors of the other 16 county party departments, who all refused to hand over power, and Chen Lifu was helpless. According to the rules originally designed by Zhuang Jihua, the directors of the party departments at all levels were recommended by ordinary party members, and only the directors of the party departments of Chongqing were appointed by the superiors.

If Chen Lifu wants to take power, he must change the current rules, and this must be approved by the party congress, and Chen Lifu knows with his toes that it is impossible for him to get this consent.

Chen Lifu had no choice but to turn to Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek remained silent, as did Chiang Ching-kuo at Guanyinqiao, and Zhuang Jihua from far away in Xi'an also remained silent.

Without waiting for Chen Lifu to come up with a way, starting with the dispute caused by the party department, the two political participants of the Central Political Participation Committee jointly launched a proposal calling for the reform of the political system, the implementation of a coalition government, and the implementation of democratic elections after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

With the proposal put forward, Chongqing's political circles suddenly became lively. Call for monthly pass support!!!!
