Section 2 Reorganizing the Sichuan Army (1)

When Zhuang Jihua returned to Yucheng as the winner, all forces in Sichuan held their breath, ready to see his next move, this small team has grown into a huge force, enough to influence the development of the situation in Sichuan, but Zhuang Jihua returned to Yucheng but remained silent and motionless.

On the day of the conquest of Kunming, Li Zhilong received a telegram from Zhuang Jihua that the third phase of the reserve conscription order was issued, and 40,000 reserve soldiers had entered the barracks. However, Zhuang Jihua now feels that the problem is coming, the problem is still an old problem, and there are not enough cadres.

He reported his difficulties to Chiang Kai-shek and asked Chiang Kai-shek to drop a batch of graduates from the Central Military Academy to him, and Chiang Kai-shek in Luoyang simply sent a telegram to Zhang Zhizhong, director of education of the Central Military Academy, saying that the focus of this year's graduation assignment should be to take care of the newly established First Army in Yucheng, and Zhang Zhizhong immediately transferred the top 50 graduates of the Central Military Academy to Zhuang Jihua.

The 60 th Army in Kunming has Du Yuming as the commander and Fan Hanjie as the deputy commander and chief of staff, and the three division commanders below are Wang Guobin, commander of the 101st Division, Zhang Lihui, commander of the 102nd Division, and Situ Fei, commander of the 103rd Division.

The commander of the 38th Army was Lu Han, deputy commander Zhang Chong, chief of staff Liu Zhengfu, and the three division commanders were Lu Junquan, Lu Daoyuan, and Long Yucang. The brigade commanders below include Zeng Zesheng, Pan Shuoduan and others, Wang Guobin and Zhang Lihui were directly promoted from regiment commander to division commander, creating the highest promotion speed in the seventh phase of the Central Military Academy, but that's all, only two of Zhuang Jihua's old subordinates can serve as division commanders, and the others have at most one brigade commander, and the rest are all regiment commander-level officers, but this is not enough.

After thinking about it, he transferred An Enpu to Yucheng and served as the commander of the 106th Division of the newly formed 101st Army, Liang Dai, who came from the 19th Route Army, served as the commander of the 105th Division, Lan Yundong served as the commander of the 104th Division, and Xiao Yisu served as the chief of staff of the army.

The brigade commander below is easy to do, his old subordinate Zhang Xin served as the brigade commander in the 104th Division, Lao Beifeng and other leaders of the green forest heroes from the northeast also served as the brigade commanders of the two armies, and the juniors in the Whampoa Military Academy also served as the chief officer or chief of staff in the division, brigade and regiment.

"Overstretched, overstretched," Zhuang Jihua shouted with a sad face with the list, Li Zhilong glanced at him and scolded in a low voice: "You deserve it!" ”

Li Zhilong actually wanted to be a brigade commander in the army, he knew that he lacked actual combat experience and was not good at being a division commander, but he had never been on the battlefield since graduation, which made him very unwilling and always wanted to fulfill his dream of going to the battlefield.

But before this dream could be opened, Zhuang Jihua was sealed to death, and Zhuang Jihua asked him to serve as the director of the rear ordnance industry bureau, in charge of the military industry of the two provinces, and let Hong Junqi serve as the head of the logistics department, responsible for the logistics work of the three armies in the two provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan.

Li Zhilong's voice could not hide his voice, but Zhuang Jihua didn't hear it, he muttered: "Haicai, a deputy military commander, had to ask the principal." ”

Li Zhilong was angry and dropped the telegram in his hand and turned around and left, Gong Xiuhua was secretly playing next to him, as an old friend of the two of them, of course he knew what they were thinking.

"Sir, telegraph." Gong Xiuhua picked up the telegram dropped by Li Zhilong and said to Zhuang Jihua that as long as she was not at home, she would call Zhuang Jihua sir.

Zhuang Jihua stretched out his hand to take it, and jumped up at a glance, the telegram was sent by Wang Shuming of the Nanjing Air Force, and there was only one content, the Germans discovered the secret of the radar and asked to buy radar technology.

couldn't hide now, Zhuang Jihua immediately asked Gong Xiuhua to find Li Zhilong and Zheng, and after Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie left, the main time for serious was spent on the military camp.

Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong waited for the meeting to be serious, and after reading the telegram, they frowned seriously and asked, "Cultural Revolution, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm afraid of wolves and tigers now," Zhuang Jihua said with a wry smile: "Give it, you can get some benefits, such as letting Germany support us to build a few factories, but it may be leaked to Yu himself by Germany." If you don't give it, Germany is now our main supporter, and if you don't give it, it will definitely affect the relations between the two countries, and I can't make up my mind. ”

Seriously skeptical glanced at him, in his impression Zhuang Jihua is not the kind of person who looks forward and backward, how can he be so interested in this radar, he suspects that Zhuang Jihua has not thought about what he wants from the Germans.

"Teacher, I think I can give it, although the Germans are also friendly with Yuben and sell them radar, they also want to prevent Yuben from leaking the technology to the British or the Americans. And we can get tank technology, armored vehicles, aircraft manufacturing technology, heavy artillery technology from Germany, and whatever that happens, it will also be of great benefit to us in the future. Li Zhilong interjected.

"We've just discussed, teacher, I need your opinion." Zhuang Jihua said solemnly.

"Do you have an idea?" Seriously asked rhetorically.

Zhuang Jihua nodded: "I have an idea, but I can't make up my mind." ”

Seriously understood, Zhuang Jihua needed him to give him a reassurance, but he didn't understand, although radar was important, it didn't reach the level that made Zhuang Jihua unable to make up his mind, he looked at Zhuang Jihua, and the latter's face was full of sorrow.

"It is true that military technology is a secret to any country, but any secret has a secret time, after which the secret is no longer secret, and I think it can be sold not only to the Germans, but also to the Americans and Soviet Russia." Seriously said categorically.

After Zhuang Jihua frowned and thought about it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gong Xiuhua: "Call back to Nanjing and ask the Germans to come to Yucheng to negotiate." Then he turned to Li Zhilong and said, "You see what technologies we need, and draw up a list for me immediately." ”

Gong Xiuhua turned around and went out after agreeing, Li Zhilong was about to leave, but Zhuang Jihua stopped him, Li Zhilong looked at him in wonder and didn't know what else was going on.

"I left Zaitian because I wanted to ask him to testify," Zhuang Jihua said to Zheng, Zheng's heart was tight, he guessed what Zhuang Jihua was going to say, Zhuang Jihua turned around and took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Zheng, Zhengcheng took it and saw that it was a report transferred from Shanghai, the report said that a third party organization was cracked, and several of them were arrested, according to their confession, Deng Yanda had sneaked into the mainland this year, but he didn't know whether it was Wuhan or Yucheng, and asked Yucheng and Wuhan to cooperate in the investigation and strictly investigate the members of the third party.

Zhuang Jihua said after reading it seriously: "Teacher, although I have no evidence, I know that you have a connection with Director Deng, I would like to ask you to bring a letter to Director Deng, it is time for reconciliation, and I am willing to act as a bridge between him and the principal." ”

Seriously understood, if Zhuang Jihua was only suspicious before, then this report made him completely clear that Deng Yanda must have come to find him when he sneaked into the mainland this time, and he was also sent by Deng Yanda to Yucheng, this Zhuang Jihua is too shrewd.

"Okay, I'll bring the words." Said seriously calmly.

"Teacher, if Director Deng comes to Yucheng again, I want to meet him." Zhuang Jihua thought for a while and said: "Don't take the Yangtze River line anymore, take the line of Yunnan in Vietnam, I am confident that I can control this line and ensure his safety." ”

After thinking about it seriously, he decided to tell Zhuang Jihua that Zhuang Jihua would never betray Deng Yanda and him, and he still had this point: "The last time he returned to China, he came to Yucheng to find me, and he wanted to see you, you were not in Yucheng at that time, but went to Dechang, he thought that the Liangguang Incident overthrew Chiang Kai-shek was very likely to be surnamed, and I hope you will come forward to win over the Whampoa classmates who are loyal to him after the fall of Chiang Kai-shek." ”

Zhuang Jihua's eyes widened, he didn't expect Deng Yanda to value him so much, which surprised him, he smiled bitterly and said: "Director Deng really thinks highly of me, the principal can't fall, if he falls, Huangpu will have to split, and China will have a civil war." ”

"Well, I know you see it that way." seriously relayed the original conversation with Deng Yanda to Zhuang Jihua, and then said: "I estimate that the choice of life has already moved, and I am afraid that the failure of Liangguang so soon will have a great impact on him." ”

Li Zhilong said at this time: "Just let Director Deng come to the Southwest Development Team and preside over the work of Yucheng or Yunnan." ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "Zai Tian, don't keep thinking about going to the front line, only one of the three of us can go to the front line, and the other two must stay behind and control the military quartermaster, you say, which of us is more suitable?" ”

"The chairman of the committee will not let the selection of students come to the southwest," Zheng also shook his head and said: "He still has to guard against the selection of students, and the greatest possibility is to give the selection of students a position in the central government." ”

Li Zhilong sighed helplessly, he knew that only one of the three people could go, of course it was Zhuang Jihua, and he probably wouldn't be able to lead troops to fight in this life.

"Ding......ding...."The phone bell rang at this time, Zhuang Jihua picked up the phone, and Mei Yuntian's voice came from the microphone: "Cultural Revolution, Liu Xiang called, asking to put this year's settlement meeting in Chengdu, and asked us to go to Chengdu as soon as possible." ”

Zhuang Jihua pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you call him back, and we'll go tomorrow." ”

Putting down the phone, Zhuang Jihua turned to Cheng and Li Zhilong and said: "It seems that our recent actions have scared them, so I'll go to Chengdu to explain it to them, and by the way, solve the matter of the reorganization of the Sichuan army." ”

"It's a trip," said with a serious smile: "You have solved the bar Long Yun with three strokes and five divisions by two, and then expanded the army in a big way, and it doesn't scare them, I'm afraid they are all thinking about who your knife is going to cut next." ”

Li Zhilong said: "The reorganization of the Sichuan army is just going through the motions, and it has not achieved the goal of improving combat effectiveness at all, and it is just that it is better to take weapons for nothing and beat them." ”

"It's natural to beat them," Zhuang Jihua sighed: "My knife was originally intended to cut myself, if it wasn't forced on the head, who would want to test the knife with their own people." ”

Then he said to Zheng: "Teacher, after I leave, I must pay close attention to the training of the troops, and if the war cannot be fought next year, I will thank God." ”

"Next year?" Seriously he couldn't help but scream, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to be so pessimistic.

Next year, Zhuang Jihua nodded solemnly, but there will be a big event this year, so he is in such a hurry to expand the troops, so in a hurry to resolve the contradiction between Deng Yanda and Chiang Kai-shek Chiang Kai-shek is in Luoyang and is preparing to go to Xi'an, when will Zhang Shaoshuai do it? He didn't know that he had to seize the time to prepare and make himself invincible.
