Section 32 Reorganization of the Army (1)

Zhuang Jihua helplessly watched history roll forward according to the existing trajectory, with Bublov's agreement, Chiang Kai-shek won a complete victory, Wang Jingwei was angry and helpless, but his surname could not make more drastic moves, he had no choice but to accept the result, and became one of the victims of this incident, Chiang Kai-shek's behavior made him no longer able to lead the Kuomintang, a few days later he announced that he was on leave, and the high-level figures of the national political axe could no longer contact him.

Another victim of this incident was Li Zhilong, who was imprisoned in the Humen Fort at an emergency meeting of the Central Standing Committee held in front of Wang Jingwei's sickbed, which passed a decision to severely punish Li Zhilong.

Then there was Ji Jiashan and Luo Jia Juefu, who were recalled to China, and Borodin, who had already arrived in Yanjing, received an urgent order to return to Canton and continue to serve as general adviser, and General Gallen was sent from Russia to serve as general military adviser.

"Did you know that there would be such a result in the field?" In the corner of the cape, Liu Yinshu quietly asked Zhuang Jihua.

"Do you know what's the hardest thing in the world to understand?" Zhuang Jihua looked at the sea and asked, but without waiting for Liu Yinshu to answer, he said the answer: "It is the human heart, the human heart is the most difficult to understand, any factor in the outside world can affect the people's heart, affect their judgment, and finally get a different result." ”

Zhuang Jihua was very frustrated, all his efforts would be in vain; Helping Li Zhilong was to avoid the outbreak of the Zhongshan ship incident, and helping [***] to form two regiments was to give them the courage to fight back; But now..., the Zhongshan ship is still in Huangpu, and Li Zhilong is still in trouble; It is impossible to count on [***] to counterattack against the orders of Soviet Russia, and the fate of those two regiments is unknown. Now he knows the mistake he made at the beginning, he ignored Soviet Russia, and ignored the relationship between Soviet Russia and [***].

"Zaitian, I can only say that he is destined and his calamity." Zhuang Jihua sighed. But his expression was so helpless, Liu Yinshu hugged his arm pityingly, although Zhuang Jihua had no expression, but she could feel his heart crying.

"You've done your best." Liu Yinshu whispered in his ear.

But she was wrong, Zhuang Jihua was not sad for Li Zhilong, but for himself, is fate really impossible to change? In the end, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could not escape the split? If so, what are you going to do? The purpose of joining Whampoa has been fully achieved, and even a close relationship has been established with the future chairman of the committee; The future king of the northwest has been his subordinate, and the future king of agents has received his favor, does the future ...... need to be closer?

"Ah Shu, if I take off this military uniform, do you care?" Zhuang Jihua asked, he didn't look back at Liu Yinshu. The person who hugged him changed at all, but kissed him gently on the cheek.

"Early as the son of heaven, twilight as a prisoner; It's horrible; Liu Yinshu palpitated: "It's okay to take it off, be a flat-headed commoner, so that you can be by my side every day." ”

"When you graduate, we will go home together, no, go to Shanghai, or go to the United States, I will make you rich all over the world." Zhuang Jihua dragged Liu Yinshu into his arms with his backhand and sat on his lap.

Liu Yinshu let him hold herself, leaning back slightly: "Don't ask for priceless treasures, it's rare to have a lover." ”

"So what's the matter, love is beautiful, and no money is absolutely impossible." Zhuang Jihua finally showed a smile.

"Well, it is of course the most ideal to have both a lover and a priceless treasure, and to get both people and money." Liu Yinshu tilted her head and smiled mischievously, imitating Zhuang Jihua's tone and said.

"This is my patent, and you have to pay royalties." Zhuang Jihua's hands tightened, and Liu Yinshu giggled.

White seagulls soar on the surface of the sea, and white sails dot in the distance.

As expected, in order to show his attitude, in April, the central government in Shanghai sent Zhang Guotao as a special envoy to Guangzhou to convey his sincerity to Chiang Kai-shek, and after Zhang Guotao arrived in Guangzhou, he criticized all the people of the Guangdong District Party Committee one by one, the most miserable of which was Zhou Enlai, not only Zhang Guotao criticized him, but others were also dissatisfied with his work, and then Zhang Guotao went to see Chiang Kai-shek accompanied by Zhou Enlai, and accepted Chiang Kai-shek's conditions in full, the most important of which was that all [***] members withdrew from the First Army. Zhou Enlai was angry and anxious, but finally chose to remain silent. There are nearly 300 members of the First Army and the Communist Youth League, most of whom are grassroots cadres, and a few are officers above the regiment commander. Chiang Kai-shek was reluctant to see so many officers, and he spoke to all the [***] officers and hoped that they would stay, but only if they quit [***]. As soon as his words fell, Jiang Xianyun, who was already a representative of the League Party, took the stage and announced his withdrawal from the Kuomintang and the First Army, Cao Yuan followed Jiang Xianyun to the stage and announced his withdrawal from the First Army.

Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek announced the dissolution of the two sessions on the grounds that the dispute between the two sessions in the military academy affected the unity, and reorganized it into the Whampoa Alumni Association, and Chen Geng left the Whampoa Military Academy.

The party representatives of the First Army and the party members of the First Army all gathered in the Guangzhou Big Buddha Temple to participate in the advanced political training class and returned to study, with Zhou Enlai as the training class teacher.

"Tut, amazing, amazing," in Shilong's 20th Division, Zhuang Jihua took the notification list and said to Qian Dajun: "Even Mengguo and Brother Guiting are on the ship of [***], and they haven't seen it after working together for so long." ”

"That's not the case, you didn't enter until you left." Qian Dajun shook his head and said, "I know everything about what Cao Yuan introduced. ”

"This is a big loss of vitality, our division is still relatively small, so three company commanders, fourteen platoon commanders, and seventeen party representatives are gone. The principal's deal is not a good deal. Zhuang Jihua sighed.

Qian Dajun felt the same way: "Yes, so many officers with combat experience are gone, but...., Cultural Revolution, I have a feeling that the time for you to show your skills is coming." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Qian Dajun puzzled: "Why did the teacher say that?" ”

Qian Dajun was born as an instructor in a military academy and was responsible for teaching weapons, so Zhuang Jihua said so.

"Think about it, now the people in our army are in chaos, the expansion of the army is too fast, and the training is already insufficient, and if there are hundreds of experienced officers, it is strange that the training of the troops does not decline, and you Zhuang Wenge has a reputation for being good at military training, Hu Zongnan and Song Xilian both claim to have learned your method of military training, and it is strange that the principal does not need you to train the troops." Qian Dajun analyzed for Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly in his heart, he was still training, his resignation report was in his pocket, and he wanted to find a suitable opportunity to hand it in.

"Why don't you believe it, I can bet you this." Qian Dajun misunderstood what Zhuang Jihua meant.

"Alas, it's not that I believe the teacher, it's really....I've been away from home for too long, I want to go back and see." Zhuang Jihua hesitated tentatively. He really didn't want to be caught between the KMT and the CCP and watch them kill each other. After returning to Shilong, he thought about it repeatedly, and finally decided to leave this nest of right and wrong.

Hearing Zhuang Jihua's words, Qian Dajun looked at Zhuang Jihua in surprise, and then shook his head: "Cultural Revolution, the principal did nothing wrong, [***] is too rampant, you see how long it has been, there are nearly 300 [***] in our army, at this rate, in two years, the first army will not be the party army of our Kuomintang but the party army of [***]." I know that you are good friends with Jiang Xianyun and Li Zhilong, and you are unwilling to abandon them, but Hu Zongnan and Zeng Kuoqing are also your friends, so you are willing to abandon them? Revolution? It is also said that the current stage is the national revolution, it is the leadership of our Kuomintang, you are a member of our Kuomintang, and you should not leave in public or private. ”

Zhuang Jihua's reason was too lame, Qian Dajun saw through Zhuang Jihua's true thoughts at a glance, Zhuang Jihua silently looked at the map on the wall and did not answer. In other words, Qian Dajun's reasons are very sufficient, but Zhuang Jihua can't do it, but it makes him even more uncomfortable, in the end, he can't shoot at Wushan and Chen Geng, on the other hand, can he shoot at Brother Expansion, Junshan, and Shoushan?

"Teacher, don't persuade me, help me find a reason." Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, that smile was more ugly than crying.

"I can't help with this, the principal won't let you go, and if you hand it over like this, it will only make the principal sad." Qian Dajun shook his head, and then said in an accentuated tone: "Are you worthy of the principal by doing this?" Think about it. ”

After Qian Dajun finished speaking, he got up and went out, his mood was very complicated, the first army was shaken too much, and even Zhuang Jihua moved his mind, which was really unimaginable.

Alas, it is difficult to get in, it is difficult to get out, and to get rid of a besieged city, Zhuang Jihua's heart is full of bitterness.

The 20th Division is adapted from the instructor of the military academy, it was not a combat unit, it is mainly responsible for the training of enlisted students, so almost all the officers are graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhuang Jihua in addition to serving as the deputy division commander also served as the commander of the 24th Regiment, before the Zhongshan ship, Zhuang Jihua had formulated a training plan, and it happened before it was implemented, and now his regiment has gone five platoon commanders, a company commander, and seven party representatives, and now he has no intention of doing things, and everything is handed over to the deputy regiment commander Xiong Shouyun.

The officers of the 24th Regiment are all Whampoa classmates, the three battalion commanders are all graduates of the first phase, the 12 company commanders have five first-term and seven second-stage graduates, and the platoon commanders below are mainly graduates of the second and third phases. Most of these Whampoa classmates were brought by Zhuang Jihua when he was training the Sichuan army, so Zhuang Jihua had authority as soon as he came, and his plan was unconditionally implemented. If it had been changed half a year ago, Zhuang Jihua was confident that he would have led this regiment into an iron army, but now he doesn't want to do it.

It is not his style to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but in this situation, it is difficult for Zhuang Jihua to get Chiang Kai-shek to agree to him leaving. Zhuang Jihua showed unprecedented laziness, which made the deputy regiment commander Xiong Shouyun and the officers of the 20th Regiment very surprised, Zhuang Jihua in just one and a half months to lead a recruit into an iron army that can attack and defend well, and then Hu Zong Southern Song Xilian commanded this army in the counterinsurgency and the Second Eastern Crusade also made great achievements, even their battalion commander Wang Jun and regiment commander Qian Dajun also invisibly gained some benefits.

Xiong Shouyun was also promoted from the second regiment, and he had seen Zhuang Jihua's seventh company, he felt incredible that Zhuang Jihua suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he vaguely felt that it was related to this Zhongshan ship, and it was not a secret that Li Zhilong and Zhuang Jihua were friends in the first phase of the classmates, so he advised Zhuang Jihua not to think about it, the principal would not deal with Li Zhilong again, after all, Li Zhilong was also his student.

Chiang Kai-shek was not ignorant of the confusion of the troops, the loose discipline of the army, and the lax training, but he could not get out of his way, and he wanted to convene the Second Plenum of the Central Committee and introduce a bill to limit [***] at the plenum.

In the living room, Chiang Kai-shek was angry at Liu Zhi again, and Liu Zhi was submissive and did not dare to defend a word.

"Your second division is amazing, it's all in the newspapers, Niang Xipi! This is a shame on me, a shame on Whampoa, you Liu Jingfu can't lead the troops, I can let others go! Chiang Kai-shek angrily threw the newspaper on Liu Zhi's face, and several soldiers of the Second Division went to the theater to watch the play without buying tickets, but actually fought in the theater and were sent to the newspaper office, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry when he saw it, and after a while, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Liu Zhi and said coldly: "Go back and check it well, and report the results to me." If this kind of thing happens again in the future, you are the only one who asks. ”

After Liu Zhi left, Feng Wei walked into the living room slowly, he picked up the newspaper from the ground and put it on the table, and then said, "Principal, don't be too anxious, it's useless to be in a hurry." ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at him coldly and scolded hatefully: "Someone is preparing to see my jokes, these unfortunate things." ”

"Although Liu Jingfu is the head of a division, he can't rely on him alone, and Liu Jingfu is not that kind of talent." Feng Wei said.

"And what do you have a good idea?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"In the past, the principal used to want to change the strength of the troops, and I think this method will do." Feng Wei said that after the Zhongshan ship, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to win the trust of Soviet Russia, took action against the rightists again, and detained Ouyang Chromium, Ouyang Zhong, Wu Tiecheng and others, giving cold water to the rightists who had just ignited hope. But in this turmoil, Feng Yi and Wu Chaoshu were spared again, but Feng Yi also felt that Chiang Kai-shek was not as good as before, and this difference was subtle, and it was not difficult for people around him to tell the difference. In the past, Chiang Kai-shek always called him sir, but now it is you.

However, Feng Wei's words made Chiang Kai-shek's eyes suddenly brighten, and the brigade establishment was abolished and all were reorganized into divisions, which meant that many people would be promoted, which undoubtedly had a strong stimulating effect on the morale of the army.

"Okay, then call them all and make a plan, this thing should have been done a long time ago." Chiang Kai-shek nodded.

Zhuang Jihua originally thought that the reorganization would have little impact on the 20th Division, which was originally a Russian-made third regiment division and was not included in the reorganization.

Chief of Staff Jiang Bocheng opened his speech by introducing the situation after [***] withdrew from the First Army, which was much more detailed than Zhuang Jihua's briefing. The hardest hit by the withdrawal of officers was the 1st Division, with two regiments with almost no soldiers left, and basically no officers remained.

When Jiang Bocheng said this, Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy, Zhuang Jihua's demeanor was calm, and other senior officers whispered, a trace of anger flashed in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, and he slapped it on the table: "What kind of system!" Are you all high-ranking officers and don't know the discipline of holding meetings? If we continue like this, the troops will disperse, what will we do, and how will we fulfill the Prime Minister's instructions? How to go on the Northern Expedition? Originally, I was going to talk about this later, but since you are like this, I will talk about it first! ”

Chiang Kai-shek stood up and said angrily: "Zhou En said that if their [***] members leave, the combat effectiveness of the first army will collapse, I don't believe it, the combat effectiveness of the first army is not obtained from [***], but then I believe it a little, look at you, you are all so relaxed as senior officers, you can imagine the following." This makes me very painful, I am sorry Prime Minister for not bringing you well, I am not worthy of being the chairman of the Military Council. ”

He Yingqin hurriedly stood up: "Please don't blame yourself, it's because we didn't do a good job and didn't abide by the principal's teachings, I'm sorry for the principal." ”

Chiang Kai-shek angrily reprimanded: "Don't be a good person, it's useless to abuse a good person, and you can't bring out an iron army." ”

He Yingqin sat down with a red face, and even He Yingqin was reprimanded, Chiang Kai-shek was really angry, and everyone's nerves were tense. Chiang Kai-shek continued: "Ye Ting trained in Zhaoqing, four times a day, three lectures, never stopped, what about us? How many times a day do you practice and how many classes do you take? The number of troops has been expanded, and there are a few more division commanders, but if they are still scattered, there will be no such troops. ……。 You have to fight and don't let others see the jokes......"

Chiang Kai-shek reprimanded and persuaded him, and in the end, He Yingqin came forward to calm down Chiang Kai-shek's anger.

After Chiang Kai-shek sat down, Jiang Bocheng did not introduce the situation anymore, but directly announced the reorganization plan. According to the reorganization plan, the 1st Division and the newly formed 20th Division were mixed into four divisions; Among them, Wang Bailing, the commander of the first division, led the first division alone, the two brigades were divided into divisions, the second division and the 14th division were mixed into four divisions, and the commander of the second division, Liu Zhi, was also in charge of one division alone, and the two brigades were divided into divisions; The third division was reorganized into two divisions, and the two brigades were formed into divisions; There were ten divisions in the whole army.

This was a huge plan, and after the completion of this plan, the strength of the First Army was equal to that of the Second and Third Armies combined. After Jiang Bocheng finished his announcement, the senior officers present were excited, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.
