The third part of the bloody and fire war of resistance, the tenth chapter, the third section of the war drums

"Where did you learn about this?" Xu Zuyi became serious. /。 qВ５、cOm/

Gong Chu shook his head helplessly: "In the new 14th Army, there are two regiments of troops that don't have tents yet, Chen Lie has reported a few times, Xu Chonghuai always said that the transportation capacity is not enough, and he has pushed it again and again, and it has not been replenished until now." ”

"That's not going to work." After Xu Zuyi finished speaking, he turned around and grabbed the phone to contact Lin Huaibin: "Director Lin, why haven't the tents of the new 14th Army been equipped yet?" "What? This is not good, you see what kind of weather it is, how do the brothers rest? What if you fall ill and cause a large number of non-combat attrition? I don't want to listen to nonsense, give you three days, and after three days it's still like this, send you to a court-martial. ”

Xu Zuyi's tone was tough, and Gong Chu let out a rough breath. Lin Huaibin complained on the phone that the transportation task was too heavy, the transportation capacity was tight, and the tent was lined up and put in the back. Moreover, the new 14th Army is a newly established unit, and its commander Chen Lie is from Huangpu, and this unit is composed of the Eastern Henan People's Regiment.

Xu Zuyi put down the phone and sighed heavily, the difficult command of the logistics department didn't know, but there was no way, so he could only press one level at a time. Gong Chu's face softened slightly: "When will the commander come back?" ”

"In three days, before the meeting starts, I will definitely be back." Xu Zuyi didn't raise his head.

Zhuang Jihua came back faster than Xu Zuyi expected, the next afternoon, Zhuang Jihua and his party returned to the headquarters at a gallop, the number of people in this line was huge, only the guard had five trucks and six jeeps, in addition to the adjutant's secretary, a total of more than ten vehicles, Hao Hao dàngdàng stopped in front of the headquarters.

Zhuang Jihua and Bai Chongxi got down from the front and rear cars, both of them looked a little tired, and they didn't say hello, so they walked into the headquarters one after the other. When he met Xu Zuyi who greeted him at the entrance of Mén, Zhuang Jihua turned his head and told Gong Xiuhua that he would lead Chen G and several military commanders to rest.

During this inspection from east to west, Zhuang Jihua and Bai Chongxi spent a month running through the entire theater of troops, with the aim of inspecting the troops, from the 51 st Group Army, which was still training in Shandong, to the newly opened 71 st Army, and other units, to inspect the training and logistics of the troops, and to have a clear idea of what to do.

The North China Theater is now unprecedentedly strong, and Chiang Kai-shek transferred eight armies from Jiangnan and Burma, and if you add Fu Zuoyi and Jin Sui's armies on the northern front, the total strength is 1.8 million.

After the public statement made in Yan'an, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party seemed to be on the right track again, and the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei was reorganized into two forces, Chen G's North China Guerrilla Corps and Luo Rhuan's 115th Division, these two forces formed a hún joint column, Luo Rhuan led a part to stay in southern Hebei, and Chen G led the main force to join the North China Theater. The New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army west of the Pinghan Line was reorganized into two units, the 89th Army Liu Bcheng Division and the New Fourth Army Independent Detachment Xu X Front Division, the 89th Army was led by Liu Bcheng to stay in Taihang Mountain, and Wang Jshan led the 129th Division to join the 14th Group Army to fight.

Such a huge gathering of troops has never been seen in the history of China, and Zhuang Jihua can be described as a general. Commanding such a huge force is both an honor and a heavy pressure. During the inspection, Zhuang Jihua found a lot of problems, from training to military discipline to logistics.

"Commander, this is a troop reintegration plan."

As soon as Zhuang Jihua sat down, Xu Zuyi handed him the reorganization plan drafted by Gao Songyuan overnight. Zhuang Jihua didn't say a word, and took it over and looked at it.

"Well, it's good," Zhuang Jihua's voice was a little hoarse, Wu Ziniu brought a glass of water and put it in front of Zhuang Jihua, took out a bottle of yào, poured two pills for Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua swallowed it in one gulp, drank a sip of water, looked up and saw Xu Zuyi's god, and said with a smile: "It's a little cold, it's almost better." ”

"How? Did you discover anything new on this trip? Xu Zuyi no longer asked about the cold.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly: "There are a lot of questions, but fortunately I went down and looked around." Alas, the Hao Pengju incident involved too much of our jīng forces, and the troops should have been rectified a long time ago. If we don't rectify it, military discipline will be abolished. ”

"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Bai Chongxi walked over with a teacup and sat opposite Zhuang Jihua, during this time, he felt very happy, not being an officer in the General Staff, which made him feel refreshed: "Cultural Revolution, don't worry, the North China Theater can be described as a group of proud soldiers, those soldiers who are bold and like to cause trouble may be more useful on the battlefield than honest soldiers in peacetime." ”

Zhuang Jihua did not refute, his eyes were still on the plan, Bai Chongxi then said to Xu Zuyi: "The biggest problem now is how to ensure communications in wartime, followed by logistics, and logistics has the most problems; The equipment of the troops is uneven, like the new First Army and the New Sixth Army, these units that have returned from Burma have all been beautified and mechanized, and the training methods have also been completely beautified, and most of the training of the troops of the former Jiangbei Theater was carried out in accordance with the training manual of the Jiangbei Theater, while the training of the Jiangnan Theater and the reorganized troops will be of a lower grade, and the equipment of those reorganized troops will not work. The combat effectiveness of the troops in the entire North China Theater was uneven. Brother Yan Mou, this battle plan has to be carefully considered. ”

Xu Zuyi also knows some about the situation of the troops, such as the 73rd Army of the 24th Group Army, which is the original Sichuan Army, but this Sichuan Army is completely different from the troops that went out of Sichuan in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the equipment is relatively poor, and after several years, there are only more changes in Xiǎo, the biggest problem is still the 51st Group Army that is being trained, and Wang Guobin finally has no choice but to use the captured Japanese-style equipment.

"Mr. Bai's words are very right," He Wei didn't know when he came in, sitting at the other end of the table, also holding a glass of water in his hand: "However, I think that with the current strength advantage of our army, there is no need to go to the battlefield at all, the first bō attack, it is best to use only five group armies, this bō will fight all the way to Pingjin, and then put in the second bō and attack north of Pingjin." Together with the Northern Front, the Japanese army north of Beiping was encircled. , it is better to be able to kill into the hot river. Then put in the third bō, this third bō must break through the Shanhaiguan, if you can occupy Jinzhou, it will be the best. ”

He Wei outlined a huge offensive plan in a few simple words, Okamura Ningji will stay the main force north of Beiping, which makes the Chinese general míhuò endless, Zhuang Jihua once tentatively asked Du Yuming to send a division to attack north, although the Japanese resistance is fierce, but Okamura Ningji still does not move.

In addition to the casualties of two or three thousand people in this attack, Zhuang Jihua gained nothing, but He Wei guessed Okamura's plan, thinking that Okamura's purpose was to attract our army under Pingjin City, and then carry out internal and external attacks. This is the difference between He Wei and other ** generals, He Wei was born in the Red Army, and has been weak and strong for a long time, and if he wants to defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang, he must guess the combat intentions of **, so he feels very keen.

Bai Chongxi nodded with a slight smile and appreciation, originally he was a little dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua taking in these Communist Party rebels, but He Wei made him change this opinion, and he couldn't help but want to take them into the Gui family.

"Well, okay, stay with me for now, and I'll think about it again in the evening." After Zhuang Jihua read Gao Songyuan's plan, he didn't find any major mistakes, so he put it away. Then asked Xu Zuyi: "How many generals have arrived at the whole army meeting the day after tomorrow?" ”

Bai Chongxi knew what Zhuang Jihua's purpose of reorganizing the army was, and he was very vigilant about it, but fortunately, none of the Gui troops were in the North China Theater, the main force of the 21st Group Army was in the Jianghuai Theater, another army was in the Jiangnan Theater, and one army was on the Sino-Vietnamese border in Guangxi.

The Sino-Vietnamese border is long, and one army is certainly insufficient, but Guangxi has Guangxi's methods, and the Gui system has been operating in Guangxi for ten years, and the militia groups in various places are mature, so although there is only one army, there are more than 20 militia regiments, and at the same time they are in contact with the Yunnan side, and the two sides are coordinated in defense. After the counterattack of the squadron, it was even more impossible for the Japanese army to attack Guangxi and Yunnan.

"There are not a few, and it is only a day's drive from Shijiazhuang to Dexian, and most of them should arrive tomorrow." Xu Zuyi replied.

Zhuang Jihua nodded and stood up and said to Bai Chongxi: "Mr. Bai, let's rest first, this month, everyone is tired, rest and rest." Speaking of this, he said to Xu Zuyi: "You call Lin Huaibin and Xu Chonghuai, as well as Zaitian and Deputy Chief of Staff Gong, and ask them to come to the headquarters for a meeting after two hours, and we will discuss how to improve logistics." ”

"You rest first, I'll talk to Yan Mou." Bai Chongxi didn't move, but He Wei stood up, but after he got out, he walked towards the combat area.

After Zhuang Jihua left, Xu Zuyi lifted the water bottle to add water to Bai Chongxi, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Bai, how do you feel about going out with the Cultural Revolution?" ”

Bai Chongxi smiled faintly: "Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others; Zhuang Wenge is one of the examples. ”

Xu Zuyi was happy when he heard this, he heard the meaning of Bai Chongxi's words, Bai Chongxi was saying that Zhuang Jihua actually has his own people. Zhuang Jihua was very strict with his own people, but he was relatively tolerant of people who were not his own, and he severely criticized Zhang Lihui's operations in Huaibei in the 49th Group Army, which once made Bai Chongxi think that he would remove Zhang Lihui from his post on the spot, and scolded Lu Ruishan so much that he couldn't raise his head in the 59th Army, but he only criticized the 13th Army with more problems.

"Before the Cultural Revolution, I had the impression of being gentle and elegant, but I didn't expect that once I got angry, it would be so beneficial." Bai Chongxi said that many people among the top generals admire the style of Confucian generals, and there are many factions in the army, so even if there is dissatisfaction, criticism is enough. But this time, Bai Chongxi found that Zhuang Jihua didn't care about these rules, and along the way, he dealt with at least more than a dozen incidents of disturbing the people, and shot a logistics officer who stole and sold materials on the spot.

There are some things in Zhuang Jihua's inspection that Xu Zuyi knows, and some things he doesn't know, but with his understanding of Zhuang Jihua, he knows it when he thinks about it, so he smiled and said: "The army is gathered, the decisive battle is imminent, the responsibility on his shoulders is too heavy, and there are changes in the family, xìngzi may be a little anxious." ”

"It's nothing," Bai Chongxi stood up: "After taking the car all the way, everyone is tired, Brother Yan Mou, if you have time, let's go out for a walk." ”

"Okay, Brother Jiansheng, I'm just thinking about going out for a walk, let's go together." A voice came from behind Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi turned around, but it was Feng Yi standing at the entrance of the mén.
