Weber didn't directly ask the question in his heart, he knew very well that a general like He Zhuguo, if he didn't want to answer, he couldn't get any real news from his mouth at all. Whole\Ben\Small\Say\Net

Along the road, a few people slowly walked forward, the field was filled with the joy of harvest, far and near everywhere were drying wheat Yangmai, Bai Xiude was not wrong, this harvest greatly resolved the grain shortage in North China, although the national government exempted the agricultural tax of several provinces in North China, but the local salvation congress organized the people to donate grain to save the country, and a large number of grain was sent to Pingjin and sent to eastern Hebei.

The bumper harvest of summer grain relieved the Nationalist Government from top to bottom, and with the end of the grain and personnel adjustments, the offensive mood of the entire theater became even higher, but the theater command remained silent.

Turning the woods, Weber unexpectedly saw Wu Ziniu standing in front, in front of him were Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong and Feng Yi, they seemed to be talking about something, Feng Yi let out a burst of laughter.

Webber and the three paused slightly, as if wondering why they appeared here so early, and whether they should step forward, but He Guozhu went straight over, and Webber understood why He Zhuguo wanted to take a walk with them, so he also followed.

Hearing the footsteps behind them, Zhuang Jihua and the others turned their heads to see He Zhuguo and them, greeted them, and several people quickly chatted together.

"General Zhuang, are you waiting for someone?" Weber asked with some curiosity, he felt the same as Charles that it was no accident that Zhuang Jihua and they appeared here today.

Zhuang Jihua nodded and did not hide it: "Director Xiong is coming over today, I'm waiting for him here." ”

Weber immediately understood who they were waiting for, Chiang Kai-shek separated the combat and administrative powers in the northeast, Zhuang Jihua was in charge of operations, and Xiong Shihui was in charge of administration: when Chiang Kai-shek announced this decision, it caused a great sensation in diplomatic circles and in the press corps, and diplomats generally believed that this was the cause of political disagreements between Chiang Kai-shek and his most capable generals, which probably represented Chiang Kai-shek's post-war policy.

Charles believed that this was an indication that the Chinese government had begun to address the potential threat of military generals supporting their own military forces before the end of the war, and that separating military power from executive power was the most effective means of eliminating the emergence of new warlords.

However, Weber did not agree with Charles's judgment, and he did not agree with the judgment of diplomats, believing that Chiang Kai-shek's move was not only because of political differences with Zhuang Jihua, but more importantly, Zhuang Jihua's political attitude was unclear, and there was a rift between the two men, which was proved by the dismissal of Zhuang Jihua as commander of the expeditionary force a few years earlier.

On the contrary, Bai Xiude believed that the Northeast region was more sensitive to the proximity to Soviet Russia, Zhuang Jihua had always been tough on the outside world, and Xiong Shihui was relatively soft, and Chiang Kai-shek made such an arrangement, and after the war, Zhuang Jihua would be transferred out of the Northeast, and the Northeast would be in the hands of the more moderate Xiong Shihui.

There were many rumors, but both Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua remained silent, and their external voices were surprisingly unanimous, believing that military personnel should not interfere in politics, and local administration should be handed over to civilian officials with administrative experience.

Xiong Shihui did not immediately leave for the Northeast after accepting the position of director of the Northeast Xingyuan, but set up the Northeast Xingyuan Office in Chongqing, and then went to Beiping to stay in Beiping for a period of time, and only recently went to Tangshan During this period, he did not come to visit Zhuang Jihua, and Zhuang Jihua did not go to Beirate to see him.

The situation of the two of them made reporters talk a lot under the SI, believing that the Northeast has not yet been recovered, and the signs of fighting for power and profit have appeared, which is not beneficial to the recovery of the Northeast. didn't expect Xiong Shihui to come to the headquarters today, and Zhuang Jihua was waiting here early in the morning.

Webb looked left and right, except for the few people in front of him, anyone else from the theater command came to greet him, which is also rare in the Chinese word field. There are many deputy commanders of the Northeast Theater, in addition to He Zhu, there are also Sun Zhen and Yu Jishi, but Yu Jishi is being treated in Beiping Hospital, and he has not yet arrived at the Theater Command, and Sun Zhen is still in Rehe: he is not in the headquarters. Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the theater, went to the front line of Shanhaiguan and was still not at the headquarters.

But even so, none of the chief of staff He Wei, deputy chief of staff Gong Chu, director of the logistics department, Cai Tingcuo, senior staff officer, Wang Shan, director of the intelligence department, and others who were still in the headquarters came.

Even though Zhuang Jihua and He Zhuguo were waiting here, the scene still seemed deserted.

"General Xiong is coming over today?" Bai Xiude was obviously a little surprised, after several years of practice, the news release system in the war zone is now very mature, and generally major news will be released in advance, but Xiong Shihui came over today but was concealed to death, which made him smell a strange smell.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, Feng Yi and Li Zhilong looked at them with a smile, He Zhuguo said with a smile: "Director Xiong only called last night, and specially instructed not to be too public, now the whole country is implementing a new life, opposing extravagance and waste, Director Xiong This is also a new life." ”

Zhuang Jihua also smiled: "The new life and the old life, in fact, are essentially the implementation of economy, the country's financial difficulties, the whole country, work together to tide over the difficulties, those of us who are officials, since we are called public servants, we should naturally go ahead, we can't let the people save, let's be extravagant and luxurious." ”

Zhuang Jihua often canceled his official status in this way, Li Zhilong and Feng Yi have long been used to it, and He Zhuguo has also become accustomed to it in the past few months of contact.

Everyone laughed, and Li Zhilong sighed with emotion: "Twelve years have passed, and we can finally see victory." To tell you the truth, during the Cultural Revolution, 12 years ago, I went to Nanjing to look for it and told me that we would win, and although I believed it, I didn't expect that it would take only 12 years to really defeat Japan. ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head with a smile, and said insincerely: "I didn't expect that at that time, I could only give everyone like this to cheer myself up, if even I didn't have confidence, the brothers below would have even less confidence." At this point, Zhuang Jihua looked up at the distance of the road: "But the war is not over yet, after ninety-nine steps, the last step is missing." However, the war has been fought to this day, and it is only a matter of time before the devils surrender. Li Meigao Zhihang began to attack Japan, and we have already burned the war to Japan. "I'm afraid the Japanese islands won't be able to withstand a few days of bombing." Li Zhilong looked cheerful.

"If it had been a few days earlier, it would have been completely clear now" Feng Wei nodded, holding a cigarette in his hand, and the same smile was floating on his thin face: "This victory of the Americans can make the war end in a year." "The victory of the Americans? Webb and Charles Braschud are a bit inexplicable, although the United States has won many victories in the Pacific, but to be honest, there has not been a decisive victory, MacArthur is still on the way back to the Philippines, the Pacific Fleet commanded by Nimitz has not yet been able to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the Combined Fleet is still strong.

Zhuang Jihua saw their expressions and understood that they did not know the latest battle report, so he explained: "The battle report that came from this morning, General Spruance won a great victory in the Battle of the Marianas, sinking three Japanese aircraft carriers, shooting down more than 600 Japanese planes, and sinking seven Japanese ships except aircraft carriers. ”

The battle of Mariana had been raining for a long time, and the results were finally out, and Weber and Bai Xiude couldn't help but feel joy. Charles waved violently, "Good! good！ Everyone felt a sense of relief, as an island nation, the Combined Fleet had always guarded Japan, and if the Combined Fleet could not be defeated, it would not be possible to force the Japanese to surrender, let alone land in Japan.

The Kuril Islands and the Mariana Islands are Japan's openly declared absolute defense circle, although after China's liberation of Shandong, this absolute defense circle has been broken from the west.

The Battle of Mariana not only dealt a heavy blow to the Combined Fleet, but more importantly, it tore the defensive circle of the Japanese army from the east, and the US Air Force took off from Saipan and attacked Japan on both sides with China. In addition, the obstacle to attacking Okinawa has been cleared, and as long as Okinawa is conquered, the road to China can be opened, the fleet can sail into Chinese ports, and the journey can be shortened by tens of thousands of kilometers.

Charles and Bai Xiude excitedly talked about the impact of this battle, but Weber took the time to interject and asked: "General Zhuang, at present, all fronts have been victorious, and the Northeast Theater's attack on the Northeast is about to begin, so will the Jiangnan Theater also launch an attack on Jiangnan at the same time?" ”

In the early morning, there was a coolness and freshness in the air, and it was not too late, and the number of people on the roads and in the fields was gradually increasing, and a group of patrolling soldiers came out of the village. It looks peaceful, but in fact it is heavily guarded, all the intersections within five miles are guarded and fortified, soldiers can check the identity of pedestrians at any time, patrols are constant at 24 hours, and there are double and secret guards at the entrance and inside the village.

No one answered Weber's question, Weber shook his head with a wry smile, he stayed by Zhuang Jihua's side for a long time, knew some of his situation, and knew that since he didn't answer, he wouldn't answer.

"It seems that this is another military secret." Weber was very regretful, but then asked again: "General Zhuang, China and the United States have achieved great victories, I don't know if Soviet Russia has moved" This question, Zhuang Jihua immediately replied, but his eyes were fixed on the several cars speeding by: "According to the information we have obtained, the Soviet army is preparing to attack, and the Japanese army in the Outer Khing'an Mountains area is weak, and there are almost no Japanese troops, mainly puppet army troops. "Mr. Weber" Zhuang Jihua was right, and there was a rush of footsteps behind him, Zhuang Jihua turned his head to see that Shangguan Jun was running quickly. Looking at Shangguan Jun's expression, his expression was a little strange, a little excited, a little moved, and it didn't seem like it was bad news.

However, Zhuang Jihua still stopped, and Shangguan Jun ran over to report: "Commander Zhang Lingfu of the 103rd Army has called, and he has received Captain Song and Major General Merrill. Zhuang Jihua was a little out of shape when he heard it, took a step forward, almost grabbed the telegram and got up, and after reading it in a hurry, his expression was a little worried.

It was very clear on the telegram that Zhang Lingfu received Song Yunfei and Merrill troops, Merrill troops were all, but there was also a part of the special forces, about 100 people under the leadership of Fan Chunshen, who served as the enemy mission, leading the Japanese army to the northwest of Harbin.

The attack on the special train was a complete success, and the losses of the special forces and the task force were also the same, the special forces lost more than sixty people, not counting the enemy's Fan Chunshen detachment, and the losses of the Merrill task force were even greater, about a third, but they finally brought back all the prisoners and some of the materials
