Section 4 Return to the Fifth Theater VIII
Erbushi's reaction really did not surprise Zhuang Jihua. Moreover, he directly transferred Liu Ruming to the post of director of the Military Service Administration of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and transferred Liu Zhennian to the special class of the Central Military Academy. The special class of the Central Military Academy has only recently been opened, and all the trainees are general-level officers from various theaters. Classes are taught by U.S. consultants.
However, there were also surprises to Zhuang Jihua, He Jizhi and Zhang Kexia of the 33rd Group Army, Zhang Xin of the 49th Group Army, and several officers from the 60th Army were also transferred to the special class to study, and then he got the news that in the expeditionary force, his cronies Lu Ruishan and Zuo Yongxian were all transferred to the special class to study.
"It seems that the chairman can't wait." Feng Yi's tone was slightly mocking, although he was far away from the central government over the years, he had thoroughly tempered Chiang Kai-shek: "Cultural Revolution, that report can be handed in." ”
Zhuang Jihua appointed Feng Yi as a senior senator in the theater the next day, but this senate only had a military salary and no rank. In the past few days, he and Gong Xiuhua have drawn up a list, which is full of officers who are ready to be transferred from the expeditionary force to the fifth theater. Based on this list, Zhuang Jihua drew up a transfer report.
Zhuang Jihua hesitated, but still signed his name on the document handed over by Gong Jianhua, this group of people includes more than 50 high-level generals such as Xia Yanglin, Li Anding, Huang Botao, Yu Chengwan, etc., this action is not small, he doesn't know what Chiang Kai-shek will do.
Without waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's reply, Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, Chi Fengcheng, Cao Fulin, Huang Weigang and other generals of the Northwest Army came together, while Liu Ruming took leave and refused to recuperate.
"Commander Zhuang, the sixty-eighth army is already unstable, to avoid the expansion of the situation, the Liu family brothers must leave at least one." Sun Lianzhong was worried about Zhong Zhong. said anxiously to Zhuang Jihua.
"Commander Zhuang. Deputy Army Commander He and Chief of Staff Zhang left at the same time, which had too great an impact on the group army. The group army has not yet been replenished, and such an adjustment will lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the troops. Feng Zhi'an was also very uneasy.
"Chief of Staff Zhang and Deputy Army Commander He were transferred from the central government to study at the military academy, which is a good thing for them." Zhuang Jihua pretended to be surprised, but he actually knew very well that the military commander had already reported that He Jihan and Zhang Kexia were suspected of colluding with the Communist Party, especially He Jihan, Chiang Kai-shek This is taking the opportunity to purify the troops: "In the future, the theater will accept US aid materials, some troops will change their equipment, their equipment will be changed, and their thinking will also be changed, and the special class is the place to change their thinking, Commander Feng, you see, don't people go to the 50th Group Army and the 49th Group Army?" Nothing else. ”
Feng Zhi'an froze. Zhuang Jihua drew a big fight for him, he was in a dilemma, refuse, and it would be even more hopeless to change the equipment. Accept it, but if this is a trap, it will be troublesome, and the 77th Army is his basic force.
General Liu Ruming was promoted to chief of military and political deployment. The chairman of the committee attaches great importance to General Liu, and Commander Sun hopes that he will not have other thoughts and go to Chongqing to take up his post as soon as possible. For Sun Lianzhong, Zhuang Jihua didn't have so many cakes, on the contrary, his attitude was very strict: "The military discipline of the 68th Army is lax, the training of the troops is lax, Liu Ziliang is gloomy, he only knows that he befriends his subordinates with personal kindness, imitating General Lu, such a person is not suitable to continue to serve as a general of the army, to be honest, my idea is to let him retire from active service." ”
Zhuang Jihua's attitude made Sun Lianzhong a little surprised, he didn't know what to say for a while, Zhuang Jihua then said: "The 68th Army is unstable, this is an old routine, Yuan Shikai and Chen Jiongming have used this trick. It is not surprising that the sixty-eighth army is going to rebel. I'll put down the rebellion. However, please tell General Liu Ruming that it is now the anti-Japanese period, and he wants to follow the path of Sun Liangcheng and Pang Bingxun, and the court that awaits him on the national trial will be forever engraved on the pillar of shame of traitors, and all generations will not be able to turn over. ”
Of course, Zhuang Jihua would not think that Liu Ruming would honestly hand over the troops, starting from the time when Guangzhou reorganized the Jianguo Sichuan Army. He has reorganized local forces on several occasions, either by force or by exchanging interests. There is no such thing as unconditional. Therefore, after deciding to transfer Liu Ruming away, the special forces led by Song Yunfei had already infiltrated the Tongpai Mountains, the two divisions of the 78th Army approached the 68th Army, and the 101st Army moved closer to the 36th Group Army, preparing to immediately quell the rebellion once Liu Ruming made any abnormal moves.
Sun Liangcheng and Pang Bingxun both defected to the enemy at the beginning of last year, and Sun Liangcheng was the guerrilla commander of the Yicha Theater, and although the Yicha Theater was handed over to the Eighth Route Army, the Kuomintang troops still existed, and Sun Liangcheng was the commander-in-chief of these troops. When the Japanese army launched an offensive in North China last year, Sun Liangcheng led his direct troops to surrender to the Japanese army. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army of Wang's puppet government.
Pang Bingxun was also in the summer of this year, when Matsui Shigen attacked Luzhong. The troops were scattered, and Pang Bingxun hid in a cave with a few small guards, was betrayed, and was forced to surrender to the Japanese army. Pang Bingxun was the hero of the First Jinpu Road Campaign, and his surrender made Wang Jingwei extremely excited, and he personally met with him, and then appointed him as the commander of the puppet 22nd Group Army and concurrently the chairman of Hebei Province.
Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and ordered Pang Bingxun and Sun Liangcheng to be compiled, and the number of the 40th Army was cancelled. Listening to two inches to a new 60th division of the non-division of the division of fanzhuang jihua unexpectedly tough made sun lianzhong very surprised, feng zhi'an was a little sad and a little uneasy, he knew the situation of the thirty-third group army, he was not unaware of the situation of zhang kexia and he jiban, but he thought that many friends and many roads, with. There is nothing wrong with the relationship Sun Lianzhong sighed, Zhuang Jihua is different from Chen Cheng, even if he takes your troops, he will come openly, but out of friendship and his own interests, he must also fight for Liu Ruming.
"Commander Zhuang, the current enemy is current. It is natural to work together to resist foreign humiliation, Liu Ziliang is not incompetent, and the 68th Army has repeatedly made military exploits under his command. I'm just a little depressed right now. ”
"He's not a little depressed" Zhuang Jihua immediately retorted: "He no longer has the courage he had at the beginning, and the only reason why he wants to continue to control the army is to use this army as a bargaining chip to ask the central government for power." As a soldier, I despise this kind of practice, especially at present, what I need is a person like General Zhang Zizhong, who will work hard for the country and the nation. ”
"I want to repeat that after the theater of operations, the troops will be reorganized after every war, and I don't care whether it is a central army or a local army, combat effectiveness is the only criterion, and the kind of troops that are ineffective in fighting will be merged by units that have made outstanding achievements in battle."
Sun Lianzhong and Feng Zhi'an were shocked again, their vests began to sweat, the Central Army is well equipped, and its combat effectiveness is naturally stronger, how can they compare with these miscellaneous armies, it is naturally among the annexed.
"Commander Sun, the chairman of the committee has approved the reorganization of the 40th Army into an integrated army, and the whole army will be equipped with Chongqing-made weapons, but the troops must be reorganized and re-trained in tactics."
Sun Lianzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, Zhuang Jihua's capital this time really didn't make it difficult for him to refuse, because the Forty Army was his basic army, and in the Second Group Army, he was the only descendant of the army.
Not only did he say this to Sun Lianzhong and Feng Zhi'an, but at the next meeting of the commander and above in the theater, Zhuang Jihua publicly announced the transfer order to the Liu brothers, and then announced unequivocally: "Since the Republic of China, our generals have developed an extremely bad habit of treating the troops as their own private armed forces, and the warlord mentality is serious. ”
In the conference room, the stars twinkled, but everyone was silent in the face of Zhuang Jihua, who was furious, and now Zhuang Jihua is stronger than at the beginning, and his strategy is more resolute.
"With the defeat of the Zao Campaign, General Zhang Zizhong sacrificed, the seven profound teachings, the theater decided that all troops should strengthen training, scrape the training program by the theater of operations, each group army can make adjustments on the basis of the outline according to the actual situation, the adjusted training plan must be reported to the theater command, in addition, the theater command will send a supervision team. The director of the inspection team is Xu Zuyi, chief of staff, and the deputy director is He Wei, director of the operations department. I must tell you that anyone who fails in the inspection three times in a row. The army commanders will be punished, and if they fail to pass the following inspections, they will go to the officer training school set up in the theater to reinvent themselves. Learn tactics. Learn how to command troops
The Theater Officer Training School was established by Li Zongren for the purpose of training middle- and low-ranking officers. After Zhuang Jihua became the commander of the Fifth Theater, he still retained the school.
At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua did not give the commanders and commanders below a chance to ask questions. The one-day meeting was basically Zhuang Jihua singing a one-man show. When everyone went back, they had in their hands the training plan drawn up by the theater staff, and this plan covered individual tactics and group tactics, and set clear test standards.
In addition, Zhuang Jihua also announced two orders for the expansion of the 40th Army, one was to expand the 40th Army into a Type A Army, and the other was to form a new 17th Army, and announced that Fan Hanjie, deputy commander of the Fifth Group Army, had been promoted to commander of the group army.
"By order of the Military Commission, four youth divisions will be formed in this theater, numbered 205th and 206th, and 207th and 208th Divisions, each with 16,000 men and 64,000 men in the whole army. The Youth Army is the rear intellectual youth army, and these students have abandoned literature and military affairs and left the quiet classroom. Generals, I don't know if you have been to the rear, but the people in the rear are looking forward to it day in and day out, looking forward to our victory in the battle, expecting us to drive the devils out of China, they are frugal, and they are reluctant to use it to the front-line soldiers, and they are reluctant to wear it, as long as they say that the front-line soldiers need it. They took it out without hesitation, we don't practice seriously, we don't work hard, who are we worth?! "Please rest assured, commander, our 22nd Group Army will guarantee to complete this rectification and never disappoint the expectations of the fathers and elders in Sichuan." Sun Zhen immediately stood up to express his support, and then Du Xingming, Fan Hanjie and others also stood up to express their positions, Sun Lianzhong and Feng Zhi'an glanced at each other and also stood up.
