Xigu hesitated and finally went to Zhou Gang to discuss and transfer Li Diannong to Chongqing. Whole // this \ small // say \ net to eat...... The experience of screening the underground party in Chongqing, as well as the subordinate party organizations in eastern Sichuan, examined the members of the organization.

Zhou Enlai thought about it and didn't reply immediately. He just nodded slightly: "Whether Comrade Kenong will go to Chongqing or not, I will discuss with him again, but this time the public is to set up an office of the Eighth Route Army in Chongqing, and you will set up the staff first." The preliminary preparations are for the Propaganda Section, the Logistics Section, the Cadre Section, and the candidates for the director of the office, which are to be determined. ”

Before Li Kenong returned to the office in the evening, he was immediately called to Zhou Ganglai's office, without any greetings, Zhou Enlai directly asked him if he could get accurate information about the infiltration of the underground party in Chongqing.

"It's difficult," Li Kenong said after thinking about it: "Zhuang Jihua himself is a master of intelligence, all the information is in the hands of the Southwest Development Team, and the archives are manned 24 hours a day, so they can't be contacted at all." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, let me go to Chongqing, maybe I can find some clues." ”

"I also have this idea, and I ask the central government for instructions." Zhou nodded. Chongqing's land is becoming more and more important, but the party's work has been delayed in developing, which makes him very anxious, and the infiltration of Chongqing's underground party organizations is an important reason.

The establishment of an office in Chongqing and the use of public institutions to support underground activities were only one of the reasons, and another important reason was that although he judged that although the counterattack in Yucheng was successful, the entire Jinpu Road operation suffered heavy losses. The recovery ability of the Japanese army exceeds that of the squadron, and their next attack will inevitably be aimed at Wuhan, and there are still great uncertainties whether the squadron can hold Wuhan.

Once Wuhan is lost, the base camp will definitely be withdrawn to Chongqing, and the establishment of an office in Chongqing is to prepare for this. However, Li Kenong's situation is special. His whereabouts must be approved by the central authorities, and they must also be reported to the central authorities.

In the evening of the same day, the central government called back and agreed that Li Kenong would go to Chongqing to serve as director of the Chongqing Office of the Eighth Route Army. However, the central authorities reminded them to pay attention to the working methods in Chongqing, and Xinhua Daily should be published in Chongqing as soon as possible, and they should try to keep abreast of the progress of the Southwest Development Team.

"Kenong, do we have any of us in the Southwest Development Team?"

Li Kenong understood what Zhou meant, the original personnel in the Southwest Development Team must not be used, even if they are not arrested, they are under surveillance, he wants a new member of the Southwest Development Team, and there is no exposure.

"Yes, but the level is very low, and I am still studying in the cadre school."

Zhou Jilai nodded with a little regret: "You are ready, go to Chongqing in two days, and open up the situation in Chongqing as soon as possible, you can't be so lifeless all the time." ”

In early April, Chiang Kai-shek rushed to Xuchang with a large number of military and political leaders to convene a joint meeting of the 15th Theater of Operations, and at the same time reviewed tactics and formulated a strategy for fighting against Japan in 39 years. Commanders of the 15th Theater Group Army and above, as well as some army commanders, all attended this important operational meeting.

At this meeting, Chiang Kai-shek first commended the meritorious personnel in the second Jinpu Road operation, Zhuang Jihua and others were awarded a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal again, and then the army was reorganized.

Sun Lianzhong, commander of the Second Group Army, was appointed deputy commander of the Fifth Theater, and Liu Ruming's division of the Liufeng Eighth Army was assigned to the Second Group Army, and Sun Lianzhong was still the commander of the Second Group Army.

Wei Lihuang was appointed deputy commander of the First Theater of Operations. At the same time, he also served as the commander of the 14th Group Army, and the Zhongtiao Mountain area was placed under the jurisdiction of the First War Zone.

Wei Yunhong's division of the 31st Army of the 11th Group Army was transferred to the command of Liao Lei of the 21st Group Army, and the post of Li Pinxian, commander of the group army, was abolished.

The new 11th Group Army was formed by the 71st Army, the 72nd Army, and the 74th Army, with Yu Jishi as commander, Wang Jingjiu as deputy commander, and Wang Yaowu, commander of the 51st Division, taking over as commander of the 74th Army.

The First Army, the 27th Army, and the 34th Group Army were formed in the 90s, with Hu Zongnan as the commander of the group army, and in the 90th they were organized into the 34th Group Army, which was organized into the army by the Security Regiment directly under the Henan Pacification Office. Li Wen took over as the commander of the army, under the jurisdiction of two divisions, Xgu and Peng, the army has not participated in major battles since its formation, and is stationed in the river defense west of Zhengzhou. Gui Yongqing, commander of the 27th Army, was transferred and replaced by Fan Hanjie.

The 20-year regiment number was revoked and changed to the 31st Group Army, with Tang Enbo, commander of the group army, Guan Linzheng, deputy commander, and the 13th Army under its jurisdiction, and the army commander Zhang Xuezhong; Fifty-second Army, Army Commander Guan Linzheng, Eighty-fifth Army. Army Commander Wang Zhonglian.

The 31st Group Army was all the Central Army. The three-three system is established and the strength is strong.

The 78th Army and the 8th Army were reorganized into the 36th Group Army, with Song Xiqian as the commander, Huang Jiehe, commander of the Eighth Army, and Zheng Dongguo, commander of the 2nd Division of the 52nd Army.

The first episode of the Ran Army number was revoked, and the 58th Army and the 77th Army were formed into the 33rd Group Army in 40 years, with Commander Zhang Zizhong and Deputy Commander Feng Zhi'an. This army group was mainly a ragtag army. The three armies are all the former Northwest Army system, Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhi'an are still colleagues of the 29th Army, except for Pang Bingxun.

The establishment of the rapid column was abolished, and Qiu Qingquan's division returned to the 200 division. In 60 years, the 58th Army and the 58th Army formed the 50th Group Army, Du Xingming served as the commander of the group army, and the commander of the 60th Army was succeeded by Wang Guobin.

Although the 50 th Group Army and the 49 th Group Army had only two armies in terms of establishment, their personnel were moth-eaten. All of them were organized according to the three-three system, with a total strength of 100,000, and only Tang Enbo's 31 Group could compare with them.

After the reorganization of the troops, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the generals and defense areas. To the north of Xunqiu, the First War Zone was responsible for defense. South of Shangqiu. Including Shangqiu, the 23rd Group Army, the 31st Group Army, and the 3rd Group Army, which are currently stationed north of Shangqiu, are under the command of the 1st Theater of Operations.

In view of the inconvenience of commanding behind enemy lines in Jiangsu and Shandong, the Sulu Theater was established, with Huang Shaofa as the commander and concurrently the chairman of Jiangsu Province, and the chairman of Shandong Province was still Shen Honglie.

The Shandong troops were reorganized into the third column, with Qin Qirong as the commander, and Zhou Jing, commander of the 75th Army, as the commander of the Shandong Security Command.

The troops under Shandong and Jiangsu are under the unified command of Huang Shaofa.

The headquarters of the Fifth Theater was moved to Xincai, Henan, and the jurisdiction was changed as follows: to Shangqiu, Zhoukou, and Shenhe in the north; to the east is Fengxian and Huainan; south to the north of the Yangtze River.

The Ninth Theater was newly established, and Chen Cheng, the commander of the theater. He was responsible for the defense of the south bank of the Yangtze River, dismissed Xue Yue from the post of commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the 1st Theater of Operations, and appointed him as the deputy commander of the 9th War Day and concurrently the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

The 11th Group Army, the 10th Group Army, and the 24th Group Army were transferred. When the 26th Group Army joined the Ninth Theater, Wang Lingji had to organize the 30th Group Army within three months, and after the formation was completed, it would go to Wuhan and join the Ninth Theater to fight.

This was a large-scale adjustment, in which Chen Cheng and the Gui faction were the biggest winners, although the Gui faction lost one group army establishment, Li Zongren got three group army troops, and Huang Shaofa, who was close to the Gui faction, became the commander of the theater. Chen Cheng, on the other hand, obtained four group armies in one fell swoop, plus the original 19th Group Army, 200 Divisions and other troops, bringing the total strength of the Ninth Theater to 600,000.

On the contrary, the biggest loser can be said to be Zhuang Jihua, who has lost not only the territory of the five group armies and Shandong and Jiangsu provinces. Even more important was the loss of half of Yudong, which was a major blow to the social reforms he was undertaking.

Now only his 49th Group Army and Du Xingming's 50th Group Army are left in the Fifth Theater. Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, Deng Xihou's 22nd Army, Hu Zongnan's 34th Army, Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Army, and Song Xiyao's 36th Army.

Of course, Zhuang Jihua is not completely without gain. He gets a pound. The army and the small division, the new 38th Division and the new 22nd Division were reorganized into the 103rd Army, of which the new 22nd Division was reorganized into a type A division, and the 2nd Division was transferred from Xianning, Hubei Province to the 5th Theater, and Chen Mingren, the commander of the 2nd Division.

This transfer made Zhuang Jihua a little incomprehensible. Chen Mingren is a classmate of the first phase of Huangyu, but this person is relatively silent and not good at communicating, and his classmates have not heard of who he is good with, and what Zhuang Jihua knows is that he is the first to climb the head of Huizhou. It's not that he is dissatisfied with Chen Mingren, after all, he is also his classmate, the key is that this transfer is a bit unreasonable, to increase the number of troops in the Fifth War Zone, you only need to leave one unit or expand one army, and there is no need to transfer from Xianning.

He quietly asked He Yingqin in private if Chen Mingren had offended Chen Cheng, and He Yingqin nodded slightly. Chen Mingren's personality is too strong, and his relationship with his boss has always been bad, and he had an awkward quarrel with Jiang Dingwen under Jiang Dingwen, was dismissed, went to study at the Army University, and after graduation, he first served as the chief of staff, and then he simply did not even give the chief of staff, and became a senator. He was probably the first student in the first class to serve as a senator.

However, He Yingqin appreciated him more, first got him to the Ministry of Military Affairs, responsible for inspecting the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Xi, and recommended him as the commander of the second division last year. The division had only 12 mortars and 12 anti-aircraft guns.

Ziliang is a general, He Yingqin said softly, Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, as long as he can fight, he can make up for him if the equipment is not good.

"Teacher He, I want another teacher." Zhuang Jihua lowered his voice and asked, "You are in charge of the editor, can you help get one." ”

He Yingqin thought about it, bowed his head slightly, Zhuang Jihua smiled gratefully, turned his head and continued to listen to Chiang Kai-shek's speech on the stage.

After the meeting was dismissed, Chiang Kai-shek left a few generals for a small discussion as usual, and Li Zongren, the commander of the First War Zone, was naturally present, and Zhuang Jihua was also left behind.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think of this adjustment?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"The Fifth War Zone has weakened too much" Zhuang Jihua did not shy away from it: "Fundamentally speaking, the next operation is for the purpose of defending Wuhan, and the Japanese army will attack Wuhan on three routes, one is to go south along the Pinghan Line through the First War Zone; The other road is along the north of the Yangtze River, over the Dabie Mountain, and the other road is on the south bank of the Yangtze River, along the Yangtze River. The first two roads are related to the Five Theaters, which are vast. This is a bit of a shortcoming

"Cultural Revolution, in my opinion, the possibility of the Japanese army crossing the Dabie Mountain is very small, the terrain of the Dabie Mountain is complex, and it is not easy to defend and attack." Chen Cheng didn't wait for Chiang Kai-shek to open his mouth and replied first: "What's more, the prestige of the Fifth Theater has been revealed, and Jiang Ran's defense is weak, if the Japanese army attacks with the main force, it will be difficult to stop it with the current troops alone." ”

"I agree with this, but" Zhuang Jihua thought about the wording: "Minister Chen, I think that before the Fifth War Zone was broken, the Japanese army in Jiangnan did not dare to go up the river with the main force, in my opinion, the north and south of the Yangtze River are two battlefields, both divided by the Yangtze River and connected by the Yangtze River, to this day we have not received any information about the large-scale increase of the Japanese army."

Zhuang Jihua's hint is very obvious, whether it is North China or Jiangnan If the Japanese army increases on a large scale. It is definitely impossible to hide Tachibana's support, and it is impossible to hide it from Osawa.

"If the Japanese army draws troops from the direction of Xuzhou to attack, aren't you worried that we will launch a counterattack in the direction of Xuzhou? Therefore, if the Japanese army wants to attack, it will first attack from Xuhui. Compared with the vast territory of the Fifth Theater, this amount of troops is a little smaller. ”

Chiang Kai-shek came out at this time to play a round: "In this way, leave the two group armies near Wuhan as a maneuver, and talk about the rest." ”

This arrangement was nothing to Chen Cheng, who was originally the commander of Wuhan's urban defense, and the two group armies were still under his control, and his consent had to be obtained to move.

Zhuang Jihua was helpless, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek had the intention of targeting the Fifth War Zone this time, after all, the strength of the Fifth War Zone was too large, and most of the elite of the squadron, and Chen Cheng had already been red-eyed, He Yingqin told him that Chen Cheng even proposed to let him be the chairman of Sichuan Province and he would take over the five

District.

Commander Li, the social reform in eastern Henan has just been halfway through Zhuang Jihua said to Li Zongren: "Don't give up halfway

"Don't worry". Li Zongren comforted generously: "I have always been concerned about the social reform in eastern Henan. I wanted to wait a little longer to see how it worked, but since I had the opportunity to practice, it was naturally the best. Speaking of this, he frowned slightly: "However, Cultural Revolution, according to your plan, what will you do next?" ”

Zhuang Jihua said without hesitation: "In addition, the building of grassroots organizations in the cities and the training of young cadres are also urgent tasks. The purpose of building grassroots organizations in cities is to organize urban residents, and grassroots organizations must go deep into every street.

Organizing the people is only the first step, and then it is necessary to organize various anti-Japanese groups, such as the Women's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association, the Workers' Salvation Association, and the elderly. Drawing popular anti-Japanese groups around the government would enhance the government's prestige and facilitate the issuance of government decrees.

In this process, the party organizations should play a major role, and in the process of organizing mass organizations, the role of the party organizations should run through the whole process, and the leaders of the mass organizations must be members of the Kuomintang or members of the inclined to our party. In addition, it is necessary to reform the way officials are promoted, and gradually exclude those who are unwilling to go down to the grassroots level and transfer them from the leadership posts.

It should be noted that our party has always been reluctant to go deep into the masses, and old party members are accustomed to doing things in the office, so my practice is to boldly use young people. Give them support and let them go to the front. But this is likely to arouse opposition from the old party members with vested interests, and at this time you must unswervingly support these powerful charges. ”

"That's what you did in Chongqing." Bai Chongxi asked calmly, to be honest, when he first promoted Chongqing, he was very unconvinced, thinking that even if Guangxi's industry was not as good as Chongqing's, Guangxi's social organization would never be worse than Chongqing's, but after actually going to Chongqing, he finally had to admit that even the social organization was not as good.

"Yes, the beginning is not important, the important beginning is after

It was the first time that everyone here had heard Zhuang Jihua talk about how he organized the citizens of Chongqing. All showed a look of concentration. Zhuang Jihua also did not hide his personal interests, "put all kinds of difficulties he encountered at the beginning." And how to overcome these difficulties, Li Zongren was told in detail one by one, especially how to recruit young people to join the party, what role the Three Youth League should play in it, and how to attract mass organizations to the government

Surround.

After he finished speaking, Bai Chongxi couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, no wonder others say that the West is not as good as Chongqing." Your reforms have completely touched all levels of society. ”

"But in the current tense situation, such a large-scale social reform is being carried out. Is it appropriate? Chen Cheng is still a little skeptical, but this is not a doubt about whether it should be carried out, but a doubt about the timing.

Alas, it is precisely because of this that I have to carry out Zhuang Jihua sighed: "After the counterattack in Yucheng, the Japanese may give us three months to half a year, as Minister Chen predicted, the next attack of the Japanese army will be aimed at Wuhan." Yudong is likely to be lost. Then now there are catties. Question, once eastern Henan is lost, whose hands will the vast rural areas of eastern Henan fall into? The Japanese, than we, or us. ”

Now everyone understands why Zhuang Jihua is in a hurry to carry out reforms, once the reforms are successful. Even if the Kuomintang took root in eastern Henan, no one could drive it out. Compare. What to rely on to win over the people, isn't it rent reduction and interest reduction? We also reduce rents and interest rates, organize the people of eastern Henan, and leave a force behind enemy lines in the future, so that eastern Henan will still be under the control of the Kuomintang.

After understanding Zhuang Jihua's suffering, Chiang Kai-shek still felt relieved, but only relieved.

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think of the chairman of the fourth province? I mean you're in the fourth" for a long time, who do you think is the right person to be the chairman of Sichuan Province among the generals in the "army?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek finally asked about Sichuan, and Zhuang Jihua had been waiting for this question for a long time. He deliberately pondered and said, "In my opinion. After Liu Xiang, the 21st Army had no suitable candidates. On the contrary, there are suitable ones outside the 21st Army. If the principal doesn't have a suitable candidate, I think Na Xihou is good, and this Mr. Xuan Yang Changqing is also a suitable candidate. ”

"Yang Changqing?" This candidate has surfaced in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, but Yang Yongtai has clearly refused, he clearly told Chiang Kai-shek that the generals of the Sichuan army will not accept him.

Ask for a monthly pass to ask for a monthly pass support"
