"I don't give you much time, I have to finish it in half a year. , M/" Zhuang Jihua simply ignored Mo Xiya's tone of pleading, and commanded unequivocally, and then he stood up: "The troops should strengthen training, after dinner, let's go to the Eighth Army to have a look, don't you have a tank regiment, I want to see their training, and arrange it with the chief of staff." ”

Song Xiya blinked his eyes, Zhuang Jihua did not choose the 78th Army, but chose the Eighth Army, the purpose is obvious, the 78th Army is Song Xiya's starting unit 36th Division expanded, he must attach great importance to it, the Eighth Army is the original tax police corps expanded, the first army commander Huang Jie, the second army commander Zheng Dongguo, Zheng Dongguo after Zheng Dongguo was transferred, and Luo Qi, a classmate of Huangpu, took over.

In the two years after the Battle of Wuhan, he took advantage of the opportunity of reorganizing the army to carry out a large-scale reorganization of the Eighth Army, and gradually replaced the original officers of the Eighth Army with his old subordinates, and the commanders of the three divisions below were all replaced, the commander of the 166th Division was replaced by his old subordinate Hu Jiaji of the 36th Division, the commander of the 40th Division was also replaced by Tang Sanshan, who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu, and the commander of the 95th Division was replaced by Liu Anqi, his subordinate when he was the commander of the 87th Division.

In addition to personnel adjustments, Song Xitang also paid close attention to the training of the troops, and he wanted to fight the war tightly, and he kept doing three exercises and two lectures every day, so he didn't worry about Zhuang Jihua going to inspect at all, but he couldn't understand that Zhuang Jihua actually didn't have a plan, and he wanted him to build the road again.

"Meng Guo, you know me, I don't fully understand the situation in the theater yet, I will only make a battle plan if I know myself and the enemy" Zhuang Jihua seemed to see through Song Xiya's thoughts, so he explained: "In this way, in addition to building roads, you take out a division to take over the defense area of the Second Army in the Pyeongchang area, and then reconnoiter the Japanese defense line in Xinyang, but pay attention, don't move too much, after a while, I will let everyone go to the theater headquarters for a meeting to discuss the next stage of the battle plan!" \}-1，

Song Xiya reluctantly accepted it, he looked at the time: "Okay, it's better than nothing, it's already twelve o'clock, we'll go to the Eighth Army after dinner." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, and took the lead in walking out of the combat winter, but Song Xilian led him directly to the canteen, the canteen had already opened, the canteen was not big, there were seven or eight tables in half of the space, except for one table, the rest of the tables had been filled, only the sound of chewing was heard in the dining room, and the only remaining table also had a few dishes on it. "Stand upright, stand upright."

With the order of the star officer, everyone immediately stood up, and the star officer ran to Zhuang Jihua: "Report, the commander of the collection cover is eating, please instruct the commander." ”

"Keep eating." Zhuang Jihua returned the salute, and the star officer agreed loudly, turned around and ordered: "Sit down, and eat after you." ”

Zhuang Luohua walked to the table and looked at the food on the table, Tongbai is located in Henan, and the diet is also with Henan, there are six dishes on the table, and there are two plates of white flour steamed buns. "Can you eat enough of this?" "Report sir, you'll be fed." A sergeant sitting at the table stood up and replied, holding a half-eaten steamed bun in his hand.

Zhuang Jihua's gaze stayed on the steamed buns, and the sergeant replied: "The steamed buns are not enough to add, but they can only be added three times." ”

Song Xiya came over and said with a smile: "My rules, the meal time cannot exceed ten minutes, the steamed bread can be added, but it can only be added three times, but each time there must be no steamed bread in the plate before it is allowed to add, but there is only one steamed bread in everyone's hand, and the plate can be filled every time it is added, there are eight tables here, only seven tables can be filled three times, whoever eats fast takes advantage." "Hehe, what a good idea." Zhuang Jihua smiled: "Do you usually eat here?" "No" Song Xiya was very simple and didn't hide it at all: "A few of us were sent back by the guards to eat, and we came here today to entertain you." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, the food on their table was the same as on other tables, it was also six dishes and two plates of steamed buns, Song Xiya said with a smile: "I know your habits, I don't have any special preparations, but you can eat as many steamed buns as you like." "That'll do, but what about my guards?" "They're outside, don't worry, you won't starve them when you come to me." Song Xiya waved his hand with a big grin.

The meal was very harmonious, and Song Xiya introduced the movement of the group army during the Suizao Battle some time ago, as well as the social situation in the Tongbai area.

From Song Xiwei's words, Zhuang Jihua has a great understanding of the social reform in the Tongbai area, which was initially carried out under the organization of the Tongbai Salvation Association, and more than a year ago, Deng Yan reached the Fifth War Zone, and he set up a guerrilla cadre training class in Dahe Town, northwest of Tongbai, and at the same time began to guide social reform.

Under the guidance of Deng Yanda, Tongbai started from rent reduction and interest reduction, and has developed to the present, and has established a complete reserve system; However, the arrival of Deng Yanda made Chiang Kai-shek very vigilant, and the Three Youth League and the party department immediately intervened. "Now it's lively, the Three Youth League has Xiao Jiang behind the support, Secretary General Dai Tao doesn't take the party department in his eyes at all, and the director of the party department, Shao Wenxing, is a cadre general, with Chen Lifu supporting, the two are fighting inextricably, and Chief Li is very annoyed about it.

Zhuang Jihua heard it, and Song Xitang told him that Chen Lifu had strict control over the party department in addition to the Central Unification in the Fifth War Zone. He has actually thought of the luck point, but now he has not planned to do anything to the party department, there is still an opportunity left, and now this opportunity seems to be looming. "Wen Cui, are you going to see Director Deng?" Song Xitang suddenly became serious.

"There was no arrangement this time." Zhuang Jihua did not answer directly, the degree of cooperation with the third party depends - the degree of their development. What's more, Chiang Kai-shek still had several concerns about his coming to the Fifth War Zone, one of which was Deng Yanchi. However, with his relationship with Deng Yanda, sooner or later he will have to meet him, otherwise it will also arouse Chiang Kai-shek's suspicions.

Song Xiya nodded, showing a look of relief, Zhuang Jihua suddenly understood, Chiang Kai-shek must have given Song Xiwu an order, let him also monitor Deng Yanda's activities in Tongbai, although with the relationship between Song Xiyu and Deng Yanda, he will definitely not be so dedicated, but he will still do face-saving work.

In the next two days, Song Xiwu accompanied Zhuang Jihua to inspect the troops in various units of the 36th Group Army. Zhuang Jihua's inspection also maintained Zhuang's style, and he randomly drew a reason for the Eighth Army's emergency assembly and training at night, and the result made him very satisfied, and the whole regiment was assembled within eight minutes, and the 30-kilometer training was completed in only one hour.

But in the tank regiment, Zhuang Jihua found that they had the same problems as the mechanized army, and they were more serious, the troops lacked fuel, the amount of training was seriously insufficient, and many soldiers did not have good bicycle driving skills, let alone tactical training. It's not your personality problem.

Zhuang Jinghua said to the commander of the tank regiment who was a little ashamed: "I will solve the problem of fuel, but I will give you half a year to practice the tactics well, Meng Guo" He turned to Song Xiya and said: "The tank tactics and the infantry are coordinated, and you must complete the training within half a year." ”

"Rest assured, Commander, we will complete it." Song Xiya glared at the tank commander fiercely, and suddenly remembered in his heart that it was half a year to expand the highway, and there must be a reason for this, could it be that Zhuang Jihua already had a plan to start attacking within half a year? Thinking of this, he suddenly had some anticipation and excitement in his heart.

Leaving Tongbai, Zhuang Jihua went straight to Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, Sun Lianzhong's Second Army was not the same as it was at the beginning, under the jurisdiction of two armies, after the withdrawal of the Third Group Army, Cao Fulin's 55th Army was included in the department, and the other two armies of the group army were the 40th Army of Chifeng City and the 68th Army of Liu Ruming.

Although there are three armies, these three armies are not the same as the three armies of the 36th Group Army, and the three armies of the 36th Group Army are all Category A armies, and the three-three system is established; The 40th Army and the 68th Army of the Second Group Army were the B Army, and although there were three divisions in the establishment, two were B divisions and one C division, the B division was a three-brigade and six-regiment system, and the C division was a two-brigade and four-regiment system; The 55th Army had only two divisions, the 29th and 74th Divisions.

In addition to the differences in establishment, the differences in equipment are also enormous. Except for the expansion of the 31st Division into a division of the first division after the Second Jinpu Road Campaign, when Zhuang Jihua was the commander of the theater, and equipped with all the weapons made in Chongqing, the Second Army did not add new equipment. The 31st Division suffered great losses in the defense of Wuhan, and after the war, it was reduced to Division B.

In addition to serving as the commander of the group army, Sun Lianzhong also served as the deputy commander of the theater and was responsible for commanding the troops on the northern front, including the 36th Group Army, but Sun Lianzhong himself knew that he could not command Song Xiwu at all.

In the Second Group Army, Sun Lianzhong did not complain about anything, on the contrary, the generals of the entire group army showed great enthusiasm for Zhuang Jihua's arrival, Zhuang Jihua's performance was completely different from that in Tongbai and Suixian, and he promised to give the Second Army a supplement soon after getting off the car! $ and military pay.

However, in the following process, Zhuang Jihua became more and more disappointed in his heart, in addition to the 20th Army maintaining relatively regular training, the 55th Army and the 68th Army all behaved in a dull manner, military discipline was lax, and the troops were seriously lacking in training. Zhuang Jihua and his team personally encountered several robbery incidents, and in the random inspection exercise conducted by the 68th Army, the troops completed a complete mess.

Back at the military headquarters of the 68th Army, Zhuang Jihua finally couldn't help but get angry: "Brother imitation Lu, Brother Ziliang, after two days, you have also seen the situation of the troops, is it still the Second Group Army that stuck to Cao Ji four years ago?" Is this still the 68th Army holding on to the north bank of the Huai River? Can such a force still fight a tough battle? It's only been four years, and in another two years, will it be the same as bandits? I suffered a restrictive power outage today, and the update was late, please forgive me.
