The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, rushing, and the fourth section of the Nine Heavens

Song Meiling did not stay in Kaifeng for two days before going to Luoyang, and then returned to Chongqing, this time Zhuang Jihua did not accompany him, but went to Zhuxian Town, where the headquarters of the 49th Group Army was located. \.М\\

Guo Xunqi was a little puzzled by the transfer of the 49th Group Army to Zhuxian Town, after Liu Xiang's death, Guo Xunqi gradually approached Zhuang Jihua and became a member of Zhuang Jihua's subordinates.

"Brother Wing, don't be upset, look at this." Zhuang Jihua took out a piece of information from his pocket, Guo Xunqi took it, and the above was that the Japanese North China Dispatch Army was very vigilant about the squadron's large-scale entry into Henan, thinking that Zhuang Jihua transferred China's first elite to Kaifeng, proving that the squadron's next offensive direction was undoubtedly Hebei. The follow-up troops are mainly based on the Fifth Division, which is arranged along the Pinghan Line, and when the first team attacks Xinxiang or Puyang, the peripheral troops launch a counteroffensive, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the first team is defeated in one fell swoop.

"See, the Japanese can regard your 49th Group Army as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and they will watch your every move." Zhuang Jihua took back the information from Guo Xunqi and burned it with a match. This move is to tell Guo Xunqi that he only needs to know the content of this information and is not allowed to leak it.

Guo Xunqi admired it greatly in his heart, not to mention how he got this information, the person who can get such high-level information is by no means an ordinary person, but this alone can't explain anything, and the most important thing is that Zhuang Jihua made arrangements in advance, and gently mobilized a 49th Group Army to hide the direction of the main attack, so that the devil would follow him.

"Yizhi, the 49th Group Army is in the hands of Fu Bo, and it is regarded as the first elite by the devils, don't fall into your hands." Zhuang Jihua reminded that Guo Xunqi's appointment as commander of the 49th Group Army caused a lot of shock in the 101st Army, but Zhang Xingang, the new commander of the 101st Army, was appointed commander of the army.

"Please rest assured, the commander will never live up to his trust, and the prestige of the 49th Group Army will never fall into the hands of Guo," Guo Xunqi solemnly assured, to be honest, to be the commander of the 49th Group Army, it was also beyond his expectations, you must know that the 49th Group Army is Zhuang Jihua's heart, although it is often assigned to the command of others, but in fact, he has demarcated the task.

In the following two days, officers of the 49th Group Army at and above the brigade level held a meeting in Zhuxian Town, at which Zhuang Jihua sternly admonished the generals that the 49th Group Army had suffered great losses in the early stage of the operation, and that it had replenished a large number of new recruits, and that it was necessary to strengthen training and restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible; in addition, according to the order of the Military Commission, the 49th Group Army added one tank regiment, all of which were equipped with T34 tanks, which were directly under the command of the group army, and the 102nd Army was collectively replaced with American-style equipment.

"I repeat again, in my troops, there is no distinction between the central and local areas" Zhuang Jihua was extremely stern, "There is only the squadron here, only the middle ** people, the sky and the sun are above your heads, if anyone has any central local views, they can apply for transfer, and I Zhuang Jihua will never be retained"

The generals sat upright, their eyes did not squint, no one dared to jump out at this time, the officers from the 102nd Army did not speak, and the officers of the 101st Army did not dare, this matter was that a few of them were muttering there, and Zhuang Jihua noticed it, which was why Zhuang Jihua was furious.

"Commander Guo, the equipment has been changed, the combat effectiveness must also be raised to a higher level, the new equipment must have new tactics, the old tactics are reasonable, and they must be retained, and the tank is coming, how to play the role of the tank, the tank is not only to cooperate with the infantry charge, you have to study it out, and find a new way for the whole army."

Guo Xunqi promised again and again, he knew that this tank regiment was not easy to come by, and the tanks provided by the United States to China were regarded as treasures by Chiang Kai-shek, and the importance of domestically produced tanks had dropped slightly, so Zhuang Jihua had the opportunity to ask for more than 100 tanks.

After the meeting, Zhuang Jihua handed over to Guo Xunqi several booklets such as the principles of tank warfare and contract tactics compiled by himself and the tank tactics compiled by Xu Tingyao.

"Tanks are still a new thing for us, how to organize tank battles, how to cooperate with tanks, these need to be summarized step by step, hopefully, you have fought tanks before, but you have never touched tanks, some things should not be too rushed, take your time." Zhuang Jihua reminded Guo Xunqi while giving him a task.

Guo Xunqi nodded again and again, he knew that Zhuang Jihua was telling him the truth, the 49th Group Army did not have tanks before, only received tank training, and had never touched tanks, let alone cooperated with tanks.

Later, Zhuang Jihua called Zhang Lingfu over, Zhang Lingfu was removed from his post by Lan Yundong during the Northern Hubei Campaign, and after the battle, the Military Judge Advocate General organized an investigation, and the results were very favorable to him, but he still believed that he was guilty, and battlefield disobedience was a taboo in the army, so the opinion given by the Military Justice Department was to remove him from his post and investigate. However, after thinking about it, Zhuang Jihua thought that the dismissal investigation was too serious, so he instead reported to the whole army, punished him, removed him from his post and retained his post, and made meritorious service for his crimes.

"Zhang Lingfu, if it weren't for Senior Brother 105 to intercede for you, I wouldn't have spared you." Zhuang Jihua stared at Zhang Lingfu coldly, still beating him: "You think your judgment is right, you can act without permission, it's just nonsense, if your subordinates are the same, what will you do?" ”

"Severe punishment will not slack off" Zhang Lingfu's answer was unambiguous.

"It seems that you understand," Zhuang Jihua felt a little tricky for him, this kid is a good hand at fighting, and his sense of the battlefield is extremely keen, if he hadn't taken the initiative to contain Kanda, Kanda might have been able to cross the Han River two days in advance, and the outcome of the Northern Hubei Battle was likely to be completely changed. But in addition to this, this kid has a strong personality, as long as he thinks he is right, he doesn't care about it, and he doesn't care about any orders from his boss, just beat it.

"You can fight, but when you fight in a large army, the first problem is cooperation, and the second is the individual; Think about it, during the Northern Hubei Campaign, Lan Yundong wanted to lead his troops to retreat regardless of your life or death, one of your divisions was exposed to the Japanese army, and the enemy's four divisions could eat you in one bite. In order to let Zhang Lingfu learn a lesson, Zhuang Jihua can be said to be serious.

"I understand the commander, and the humble post must learn a lesson." Zhang Lingfu knew in his heart that this time it was Zhuang Jihua who let him go, and he actually didn't deal with him much, he was still the commander of the 105th Division.

"It's good to understand, train the troops well, you have to fight well, the 105th Division can be expanded into an army, and you will be the commander." Zhuang Jihua made a promise to Zhang Lingfu, Zhang Lingfu's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of joy, as a soldier, of course, he hoped that there would be more and more soldiers under his command, and this promise made Zhang Lingfu's heart pound.

The Jiangbei Theater Command is located in Xuchang, but this is only public, and there is also a command headquarters secretly located outside Shangqiu City, and this headquarters is now only managed by He Wei with more than a dozen staff officers.

Henan's post-war reconstruction work was very fast, and by the end of June, the Pinghan and Longhai lines were basically repaired; By the beginning of July, the summer harvest was over, and Zhuang Jihua could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from the statistics, although the summer harvest in Henan is not a bumper harvest, it has greatly alleviated the famine.

At the end of June, Chiang Kai-shek returned to Chongqing from Lanzhou, and immediately ordered the First Mechanized Army to be transferred to the Jiangbei Theater, and Sun Liren of the New First Army, Liao Yaoxiang of the New Sixth Army, and Wang Yaowu of the 74th Army were transferred from Burma to join the Jiangbei Theater.

After the end of the Northern Burma Campaign, the 103rd Army was split into two armies, Sun Liren's new 38th Division was expanded into the New First Army, and Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division was expanded into the New Sixth Army, with three divisions in each army and 50,000 troops.

Chiang Kai-shek's move made Stilwell very unhappy, and he flew back to Chongqing to complain to Weidemeyer, but this time Weidmeier did not support him. According to the understanding reached between China and the United States, after the recovery of Burma, the strategic center of gravity will be shifted to the north, and the transfer of troops from Burma will be carried out precisely in this strategy. Moreover, even if 150,000 troops from the three armies are transferred, there are still 200,000 expeditionary forces in Burma, and the main forces of the 58th Army, the 112th Army, the New Eighth Army, and the 66th Army are all there, and if you count about 100,000 British troops, the Allied forces still have more than 300,000 troops in Burma, while the Japanese army on the opposite side is only 1560,000, and the allies have an absolute advantage.

Due to the tension between China and Britain in Burma, the Japanese army was able to safely retreat to the Burma-Thailand border, taking control of the Burmese border town of Mautam Kham, forming a defensive line on the Indochina Peninsula.

In July, Mei Youlan's "Taihang Xing" began to be serialized in the Yuzhou Evening News, a series of reports that caused a huge repercussion in Chongqing, and once reversed GCD's propaganda disadvantage after the victory in the Northern Hubei Campaign.

"Niang Xipi, what is this Mei Youlan going to do." Chiang Kai-shek threw the newspaper on the table and couldn't help but curse softly.

"Daling, what are you talking about?" Song Meiling, who was next to her, didn't hear clearly, turned her head and asked.

"Mei Youlan, what did she do in Taihang Mountain?" This has to be changed, Chiang Kai-shek must have ordered a review of the content of the Yuzhou Evening News, but Mei Youlan can't, not only Song Meiling's relationship, but also Old Man Mei, Mei Yuntian, and Zhuang Jihua's face in it, and that kind of means against other news media can't be used on Mei Youlan.

Song Meiling stretched out her head and looked at it, and said indifferently: "Little girl, I'm always curious about everything, and it's okay to go and see it." By the way, Daling, this is the list of people to go to Cairo, you see, who else to add? ”

In early July, Roosevelt formally invited Chiang Kai-shek to the Cairo Three-Power Summit, a meeting four months earlier than his predecessor. Although it was known for a long time that this invitation would come, the official invitation has only arrived now. The couple had already discussed this list.

Chiang Kai-shek took a closer look and said that he attached great importance to this meeting, believing that it was an important meeting to establish China's international status and the result of a series of victories won by the squadron on the battlefield in the past two years.

"Well, add Zhou Zhirou." After reading it, Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, Zhou Zhirou is the chief of staff of the Air Force, and Qian Dajun is the commander of the Air Force, but Chiang Kai-shek plans to transfer Qian Dajun back to the chamberlain and serve as the chief attendant, with Zhou Zhirou as the commander of the Air Force. This time I went to Cairo, Lin Wei on the army side, and Zhou Zhirou on the air force side.

Just before Chiang Kai-shek was about to leave, U.S. Ambassador Gauss made a surprise visit, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would stop in India and meet with the leaders of the Indian National Congress Party, Gandhi and Nehru.
