Section 1 Hibernation VI

The Yellow Mountain, the scenery is splendid. /ใ€‚ \\(ะทZcncom) The fiery red sunset dyed the mountains and forests with a layer of shallots, which tossed through the forest, squandering their last energy. Zhuang Jihua was not in the mood to enjoy the peculiar beauty, the jeep shuttled between the mountains and forests, and the oncoming mountain breeze hit him in the face.

Stopping in front of the official residence, Zhuang Jihua jumped out of the car, raised his eyes to look around, the guards in Mao suits were wandering around, they just glanced at Zhuang Jihua, and then turned their eyes to other places.

Seeing Zhuang Jihua coming, Xiao Zanyu immediately greeted him, greeted him with a smile, and the two exchanged a few words, and Xiao Zanyu led Zhuang Jihua to Chiang Kai-shek's office. Zhuang Jihua understood Xiao Zanyu's move, and Xiao Zanyu hinted at him and gave a good signal.

"I came back yesterday, I don't call you. Won't you come to me? Chiang Kai-shek's tone was not harsh and even a little intimate, according to the system, Zhuang Jihua only needed to report to the Military Command Department, and did not have to go to the Huangshan Mansion to report.

Zhuang Jihua replied calmly: "The principal is busy with affairs, and if he is not called, the students dare not come rashly. โ€

"You are a meritorious person, Burma has fought well, played the national and military prestige, and it is a last resort to transfer you back, I know what you have done in Burma, and everything else has been done very well, except for the stiff quarrel with Shi Qiaowei, the Americans are always very arrogant, but we now have to rely on them in many things, Marshall clearly asked to adjust the Burmese command system, and linked this with military aid, I have to wronged you." Chiang Kai-shek was very calm, and these situations had actually been told to Zhuang Jihua through Lin Wei's mouth.

If there was no Li Zhilong's transfer, Zhuang Jihua would accept this explanation, and he would feel warmer, but if Li Zhilong's transfer occurred at the same time, Zhuang Jihua would not accept such an explanation.

"Students can understand" Zhuang Jihua sneered in his heart, but his face appropriately showed dissatisfaction: "Shi Qiwei is so happy." The war in Myanmar is likely to be repeated. โ€

Chiang Kai-shek did not interject, and motioned for Zhuang Jihua to continue: "The Japanese army is increasing troops to Burma from various battlefields, and I expect at least three divisions to be added, or even more; The complexity of the Burma battlefield lies in the unreliability of the Allies; Alexander said that three divisions were on the way to be transferred, and two more were being formed. But I think the primary goal of the British army is to keep India, and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed troops is difficult to determine, and it is difficult to compare with the Japanese army.

I estimate that it will take about three months for the Japanese army to assemble, and with the addition of material reserves, the Japanese army will launch an attack in about four months at the earliest.

At present, our army has the 66th Army, the 58th Army, the 103rd Army, and the New Eighth Army, with a total strength of about 200,000 troops, and these troops are distributed throughout the entire northern part of Burma from Jingdong to Myitkyina, and the strength is very thin.

Due to the uncertainty of the British army, I do not think that we have the ability to counterattack yet, so the next phase of the strategy is still mainly defensive, focusing on securing the northwest of Burma, and in order to achieve this strategic goal, I propose to add at least three armies to the Burma battlefield.

Northeast Myanmar, with Jingdong as the core, defended by the 66th Army; In the direction of Lashio on the front, put two mediums. Army. Construct a deep defensive line all the way to Xiao Town, and these two armies will also cover the flank of northwestern Burma, so one army should be placed in the direction of Ba Mo, and four armies will be left, two armies will be used for defense, and two armies will be used as reserves, ready to counterattack. โ€

Zhuang Jihua explained the Burma strategy he designed, and he also explained this strategy to Yu Jishi in detail, of course, this was only carried out under the condition of estimating the actions of the Japanese army, and how to implement it would change according to the changes in the enemy's situation.

"Liangzhen also mentioned that he asked for at least three more armies" Chiang Kai-shek recalled Yu Jishi's report: "It seems that you and his opinion are on the same page. โ€

Zhuang Jihua did not have an interface, Chiang Kai-shek paced back and forth in the room for two steps, he hesitated to transfer troops from there, the current strategic reserve is the Fifth Army, but this army is a mechanized army, and it is not easy to play in the mountains and mountains of Burma, so the former Zhuang Jihua and now Yu Jishi are clearly opposed to transferring it to Burma.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was hesitating, Zhuang Jihua knew that he could speak, and he coughed lightly twice and said: "Liangzhen hopes to transfer the Seventy Dishes Army to Burma, I don't know what the principal thinks?" โ€

"Seventy-fourth Army? Xue Yue believed that the Ninth Theater could not be weakened in the face of the 11th Army, the main force of the Japanese army. Chiang Kai-shek's reply was in response to Yu Jishi's concern, and Xue Yue refused to let go. Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "The Eleventh Army is facing the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater, the two theaters have a million troops, Anan only does not dare to let go of the attack on Changsha, and after our army recovers Guangzhou, the Japanese army has no need to open up the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, I don't think the pressure on the Ninth Theater is not great." The 74th Army is Liangzhen's old unit. It was made by him, and Liangzhen has such a unit in his hands, and it will be very convenient to command. I suggested that the 74th Army be transferred from the 9th Theater, one army from the 4th Theater, and one army from the Gui-Vietnam border, so that three armies would be formed to reinforce Burma. In addition, Myanmar's armed forces could be expanded. It was collected from Guizhou, Yunnan

Zhuang Jihua said: "The advantage of the local expansion of the Burmese troops is that they can be used as a pretense, and if Stilwell wants to counterattack Yangon, then help us form troops." โ€

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, this is a good way, he nodded slightly: "That's good, just do as you say." What about the troops drawn from the four theaters? โ€

Zhuang Jihua secretly said in his heart Chen Cheng, let's collect some interest first, he immediately said: "There are more troops in the four theaters, but the enemy situation is relatively light, the Japanese army has now absorbed the lessons of early operations, and it will not be like before, so Guangzhou is safe for the time being, I suggest that the 54th Army and the 65th Army be transferred, both of which have been fighting in the south for a long time, and can adapt to the terrain and climate of Myanmar in the shortest possible time, and these two armies have been reorganized, the equipment is relatively good, and the combat effectiveness is relatively strong, and Liangzhen can use it." โ€

Huang Wei, commander of the 54th Army, and Huang Guoliang, commander of the 65th Army, were both from the civil engineering department, and these two troops were also miscellaneous units that Chen Cheng painstakingly reorganized and integrated.

But Chiang Kai-shek was a little painful, these three armies were all elite, and the central government spent a lot of money to reorganize them and put them into the Burma battlefield to consume, which is too regrettable.

"After the United States and the Soviet Union entered the war, did the Japanese army still have the ability to attack?" Chiang Kai-shek asked hesitantly.

At first glance, Zhuang Jihua is a little inexplicable, and he still has the ability to attack? The Japanese are attacking everywhere on the vast battlefield from the Pacific Ocean to Siberia, how can they not be capable?

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhuang Jihua and knew that he didn't pay attention to his own meaning, so he said: "Strategically speaking, is Burma still so important?" We have the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, which cannot be blocked by the Japanese army, is it necessary for Burma to hold on? โ€

"According to estimates, the maximum transport volume of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is 60,000 tons per month, and this is still if the weather conditions allow, the climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is unpredictable, and the road is very affected, in addition, the transportation distance is too long, which seriously affects the import of US aid materials. In addition, the Burmese battlefield was about international influence, and the focus was on the post-war period, and after the defeat of Japan, the politics of the Far East would inevitably be redivided, and in order to avoid the Paris Peace Conference, we also had to show great strength in the war against the Japanese. โ€

The more Chiang Kai-shek listened, the more his brows wrinkled, and after Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he didn't speak for a long time, and Zhuang Jihua stood quietly aside and waited.

"President Roosevelt still attaches great importance to our country," Chiang Kai-shek said after deliberation, "Is it too early to talk about the post-war period?" โ€

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted; If you don't prepare now, you'll regret it too late in the future. โ€

"The defeat of the Japanese is certain," Chiang Kai-shek said slowly: "Now we have only so many reorganized troops, how much US aid can get, since the defense of Nanjing, we have been reorganizing our troops, reorganizing one and putting one into battle, consuming one, and then replenishing and reorganizing, so far our reorganized troops are only one-third of the total army, and when will we be able to complete the reorganization of the whole army." โ€

Zhuang Jihua has been thinking about what Chiang Kai-shek is trying to express in these words, the Burma battlefield must need to increase troops, but why is he so pushing?

"At the beginning, the strategy you proposed, we used Burma to attract Japanese troops, and then launched a counteroffensive at home, this strategy was supported by us, and President Roosevelt also supported it, but if the three main forces were transferred to the Burma battlefield, it would weaken the strength of the domestic counteroffensive."

From Chiang Kai-shek's rambling words, Zhuang Jihua finally understood the reason for Chiang Kai-shek's hesitation. In Chiang Kai-shek's view, the defeat of the Japanese was inevitable, so why not play the precious army consumption, it is better to wait for the United States and the Soviet Union to defeat the Japanese army, and China to reap the results.

Thinking of this person, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but shake his head, he couldn't help but say: "Principal, when you were in Huangpu back then, you once said that just being trained by a military academy cannot be regarded as a qualified officer, and a qualified officer comes out of actual combat.

This is also true now, the army must be forged with blood and fire, and there is no iron army on the training ground. โ€

At this point, he paused, and then said, "Headmaster, think about it, what would happen if the Japanese surrendered now?" Chiang Kai-shek was very puzzled, now that Japan has surrendered, what does Zhuang Jihua want to say? Suddenly, he looked up at Zhuang Jihua, and his heart gradually became cold.

In these few minutes, Chiang Kai-shek figured out what Zhuang Jihua did not say, the current distribution of domestic political forces, the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army occupies Hebei, Chahar, Shanxi and Shandong, if the Japanese army surrenders, it is bound to take advantage of the situation to receive all the big cities in North China such as Beiping, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, etc., and even enter the northeast. In this way, they occupy half of China, and they are the richest half of China except for Jiang Xi, and occupy the full initiative in future domestic politics.
