Speaking of the second body, Zhuang Jihua was quite satisfied with the training of the four divisions, and the young students who joined the army in the noisy prefecture were very active in training, and the officers of the troops generally responded that this group of soldiers was the easiest to be able and that they mastered weapons and skills very quickly. \.М\\ And Chiang Kai-shek's emphasis on the youth army. The troops were fully equipped, and a considerable part of them were American-style weapons.

"The youth army should become a model for all armies," Zhuang Jihua said before leaving, to the division officers led by Yi Anhua. Ding instructed: "Whether it is tactical skills or military discipline, to put an end to disturbing the people, to put an end to eating empty quotas, and to put an end to corruption, we must be like the Huangpu Teaching Regiment, the company's finances should be made public, give full play to the role of party members, give play to the role of the three youth league members, and form a combat team with party members and league members as the core

"Please rest assured, commander, we will follow your orders, train strictly, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Yi Anhua assured Zhuang Jihua, and Wu Yanyang, director of the Political Department, solemnly assured: "We political workers will go all out to do a good job in political work." small

"In political work, we should be concentric. study, their political work will be very good" Zhuang Jihua was still not at ease, and continued to say to Wu Yanyang: "Political work should be targeted and keep up with current affairs. Although they joined the army, they are still young people, and as long as they are young people, they will be less interested in society and current affairs, so you have to be ahead of the curve, go ahead, and don't wait for things to happen before you come to remedy them

Zhuang Jihua was very uneasy about political work, the Kuomintang's political work in the army has always been weak, and it did not know how to carry out political work, Zhuang Jihua suddenly thought of Gong Chu and He Wei, especially Gong Chu. He had served as a political commissar in the Red Army, and he could ask them to write a pamphlet on how to conduct political work, and also asked Li Zhilong and Gong Chu to run a school for political work cadres.

After leaving the Youth Army, Zhuang Jihua still did not return to the old estuary headquarters, but went to the new 17th Army, the new 17th Army is also a new unit, in fact, in order to make up for the 50th Group Army after the transfer of the 58th Army, Zhuang Jihua mixed the 49th Group Army and the 60th Army, and carried out a transfer of poison to the middle and lower troops, in order not to damage the combat effectiveness of the 60th Army, he transferred 3,000 people from the 49th Group Army and 5,000 people from the 60th Army, and then transferred the independent 31st Brigade and the security regiments in Dixi, Fangxian and other places, In addition, more than 16,000 recruits were recruited in western Henan and northern Hubei for a total strength of 32,000 troops. The commander of the New Seventh Army, An Enfu, consists of two B divisions, each with a strength of 11,000 and a mixed brigade with a total strength of 5,000, in addition to regiments directly under the army, reconnaissance battalions, engineer battalions, and heavy artillery regiments. The new 52nd Division and the new 53rd Division were independently mixed into the 124th Brigade, the commander of the New 52nd Division Yun Yingshuang, the commander of the New 53rd Division Liu Yuantang, and the commander of the 124th Brigade Shi Yuanxing.

An Enfu chose the training ground of the New Seventh Army in Junxian County, northwest of Laohekou, because the situation of the New Seventh Army was different from that of the Youth Army, and the origin of this unit was complicated, and before it became an army, various forms of subordinate and subordinate relations had already been formed within the unit. This kind of relationship can increase the combat effectiveness of the troops if it is used well, but under the current situation, it is very unfavorable to the formation and training of the new army. In order to break this relationship, An Enliang simply disorganized all the troops, reorganized, and all the commanders were transferred from the original troops and rearranged their duties.

In such a reorganization, the troops were very chaotic in the early days, An Enfu promoted a group of sergeants from the soldiers supported by the 60th Army and the 49th Group Army, set up a teaching team in the military headquarters, transferred some thorns to the teaching team to study, and put the deputy army commander Liang Dai in charge, and he went down the army every day.

An Enfu accompanied Zhuang Jihua to inspect the troops, as an old man of the 49th Group Army, especially from the 101st Army, An Enfu's color of the Dian Army gradually faded, and the color of the Zhuang family became stronger. Liu Yuantang is an outlier, when the troops were reorganized, Zhuang Jihua was the only unit to be transferred from Liu Wenhui's 24th Army, but in the end he was not transferred out of Sichuan, Zhuang Jihua was still worried about the Tibet issue, and left Liu Wenhui.

But Liu Wenhui did not bring this army when he entered Tibet, and left him to look after his family, which made Liu Yuantang unwilling, and the soldiers in the independent brigade were also unwilling, and they wanted to go out of Sichuan to participate in the War of Resistance, just when Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take time out of the Sichuan army in Sichuan and Kang, he transferred Liu Yuantang's troops out of Sichuan after the Wuhan Defense War, and first transferred to the First War Zone, and after Zhuang Jihua was appointed to the Fifth War Zone, Liu Yuantang made a report and asked to go to the Fifth War Zone. It was handed over to Zhuang Jihua for expansion.

Liu Yuantang and An Enfu were the opponents on the bank of the Jinsha River, An Enliang first chased Liu Yuantang to fight, and then Zhuang Jihua intervened, and was completely annihilated by Zhuang and Liu's coalition forces on the north bank of the Jinsha River, and he was also taken prisoner again, but now the two have become colleagues, looking at each other and smiling, and all enmity and enmity are eliminated in this smile.

An Enfu has long known that with Zhuang Jihua's style of doing things, he will never sit idly by and ignore the new army, but Zhuang Jihua arrived so soon, which still surprised him, because after all, this is not Chongqing, the entire Fifth War Zone, the party, government and army are all on Zhuang Jihua's shoulders, and he can't cry for a long time.

The commanders of this army are all old subordinates, Liu Yuantang is also an old acquaintance, Zhuang Jihua talked with them very casually, but not long after the military headquarters sat down, Gong Xiuhua came in and handed a telegram to Zhuang Jihua.

After reading it, Zhuang Jihua thought for a moment and said to An Enliang: The little devil has made a move, Anan has only received a few new reinforcements, the number of troops has not yet been determined, the vanguard independent mixed brigade has arrived in Wuhan, and the follow-up troops and materials are still coming. ”

"Why do little devils want to move?. Liu Yuantang asked first, he didn't catch up with several big battles of the Sichuan army, and he heard the news from the front, especially the news of the meritorious service of the Sichuan army, which made the officers and men of the whole brigade excited and jealous; However, after they left Sichuan, the frontal battlefield had calmed down, and there were even fewer battles in the First War Zone, and they had only participated in a few guerrilla activities, and the largest battles were no more than the battalion level.

"It doesn't matter if you don't move or not." Zhuang Jihua said angrily, Liu Yuantang's expression dimmed suddenly, Zhuang Jihua didn't care about him, and continued: "Your first task is to train the troops, and within half a year, you have no combat missions. Remember, in half a year, I want a force that can fight tough battles

An Enliang and Liang Dai exchanged glances, and An Enfu sighed: "Commander, there are now 32,486 people in the army, and the people are in place, but what about the weapons and equipment?" The logistics department said that the weapons will have to wait for two months, can the commander urge Hong Junqi, and our weapons can be faster. ”

The weapons of the 31st Independent Brigade are made in Chongqing, which barely meets the requirements, but the other units are too far behind, and the weapons of the security regiment are even more varied, from the old clichés of the former Qing Dynasty to the Hanyang to the Zhongzheng, there are all kinds of styles, but in this way, those who have just put on military uniforms from the peasants only have wooden sticks in their hands.

is also a new army, the Youth Army and the New Seventh Army are in stark contrast, the New Seventh Army is still presided over by Zhuang Jihua, and it is even more conceivable that it will be replaced by someone else. Zhuang Jihua can't do anything about this situation, and he doesn't think that Hong Junqi will suppress him.

"Although the materials are less abundant than before, there are too many troops in the theater recently, not only we are expanding, the ninth theater and the first theater are all expanding, and the materials are not enough, you can only overcome it temporarily" Zhuang Jihua said: "When I was in Jianpu, there were only seven rifles in the whole school, and one was damaged by Chen Ping, so we all practiced with wooden guns. Explain the situation to the soldiers, the shortage of supplies, and the situation will change by July at the latest. ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't care too much about the increase in Japanese troops, the Japanese army had so many troops, no matter what aspect of the transfer of troops to the 11th Army, at most two or three divisions were transferred, and the 11th Army had to face three theaters, and the other two theaters had to leave four divisions and regiments, so that the Japanese army could not put more than seven divisions into the attack, and the total strength was more than 100,000 people, while his five theaters had as many as 500,000 people, and they were well-equipped and well-trained, especially with China's first mechanized group army in hand. In addition, there are 50,000 people in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Command, which can also be assigned to his command when necessary, so he didn't care too much about the movements of the Japanese army, and didn't want to interrupt his patrol because of this incident. However, the development of events was not what he expected, and during the inspection of the new 52 nd Division, another telegram flew from the headquarters to catch up with him, which was jointly sent by Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi and Chief of the Operations Division He Wei, and the content of the telegram was still the movement of the Japanese army.

He Wei analyzed the movements of the Japanese army in the past two months and found that the Japanese army had quietly assembled six divisions in front of the Fifth Theater, and now another division was transferred from the army stationed in Shanghai. In addition, according to intelligence, two mixed brigades in Shandong and Hebei were transferred to Wuhan, and after the Japanese army in North China got in the way in the wing, they stopped attacking, and all kinds of supplies were urgently assembled to the 11th Army in Wuhan. Based on the above situation, He Wei believed that the Japanese attack was imminent.

After receiving this telegram, Zhuang Jihua immediately interrupted the inspection of the new 52nd Division, rushed back to the Laohekou Theater Headquarters overnight, and stepped into the gate of the headquarters.

Double posts have been added to the inner courtyard, and the patrol team has also increased, although the night is already relatively deep, the combat department is still brightly lit, when Zhuang Jihua entered the door, Xu Zuyi, He Wei and Sun Xiaochuan, deputy director of the combat department, were discussing in front of the map, and the sun flags around the five war zones on the map had been increased several times.

"Commander" Sun Xiao "Zhuang Jihua at the door, hurriedly greeted him, Xu Zuyi and He Wei also turned around, Zhuang Jihua nodded at Sun Xiao", walked to the map in a few steps, looked at the newly added small flags on the map, and thought silently for a while before saying.

"Director He, let's introduce the situation
