Section 4 Return to the Fifth Theater VI
The jeep crawled the winding mountain road, the slopes were covered with snow, the emerald green mountain forest was covered with a layer of silver, and the mountain wind carried a biting chill on the face. \\、0m//
Zhuang Jihua was wrapped in a military coat, tiredly leaning on the palace embroidery, walking three group armies in a row, the situation was not very optimistic, the situation of the 36th Group Army was slightly better, but he obviously felt the arrogance in it, Song Xiya, the generals of the Central Army, could not look at the miscellaneous troops on the land, and there was a rift between the central army and the local army, and now due to long-term unfair supply, this rift is expanding.
Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming, and other miscellaneous generals have very strict control over the troops, but this strictness is not strict in military discipline, on the contrary, they are known for their tolerance towards their subordinates, but this tolerance can also be said to be conniving to a certain extent, so that military discipline is relaxed and combat effectiveness is seriously reduced. "Did you go to Sun Zhen?" Gong Xiuhua asked softly.
Sun Zhen is no longer the commander of the 102nd Army, after Deng Xihou returned to Sichuan to serve as the chairman of Sichuan Province, he recommended Sun Zhen to be the commander of the 22nd Group Army, and the commander of the 22nd Army, the commander of the 41st Army became Zeng Suyuan, a subordinate of Harada Songchong, and the commander of the 45th Army was Chen Dingxun, a close confidant of Deng Xihou. Well. Zhuang Ji, Lu snorted lightly, he planned to spend two weeks running through various war zones, inspecting all the troops in the war zone, having a general understanding of the situation, at least being a confidant.
The Fifth Theater has a strong force of troops, and Li Zongren's configuration is light at the front and heavy at the rear; the first line is the Second Group Army and the 33rd Group Army, and in western Hubei is Du Yuming's 50 th Group Army and the Upper Yangtze River Command; although the Upper Yangtze River Command is controlled by the Fifth Theater, it actually has a great deal of independent action power, and has under its jurisdiction the 86th Army of Mo and Shuo of the Central Army and the 94th Army of Mou Tingfang. the second line was the 22nd Army and the 36th Army; On the third border of Sichuan-Hubei was the 49th Group Army.
Such a configuration made the miscellaneous generals dissatisfied, but Li Zongren placed the 21st Nose Regiment Army of the Gui family behind the enemy in Dabie Mountain, so although Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, and Liu Ruming were dissatisfied, they did not complain publicly; However, after the Suizao Campaign, their complaints became public, which was of course a defeat in the Suizao Campaign, and it was also a public vent of the central government's long-term unfair treatment.
In the Second Group Army, Zhuang Jihua issued a fire, demanding that Sun Lianzhong and Liu Ruming rectify within a time limit, and at the same time telling them that the 36th Group Army would take over the defense of the Pyeongchang area.
"Sun Lianzhong is a tiger general, Liu Ruming is old" In the jeep shaking, Zhuang Jihua said to himself: "I want to find someone to replace him, but who to find?" The Northwest Army is really complicated.
It really makes Zhuang Jihua nerve-wracking, the Northwest Army was originally the collective name of Feng Yuxiang's department, after the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army collapsed, and the entire Northwest Army was divided into several major divisions, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, Han Fuyu's Third Group Army, Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army, which is a relatively large three, and there are other departments such as Pang Bingxun, Ji Hongchang, and Fang Zhenwu. The complexity of the problem lies in the fact that when these generals were under Feng Yuxiang, there were contradictions between them, and without Feng Yuxiang's suppression, the contradictions would have erupted in an all-round way. Sun Lianzhong would rather surrender to Chiang than retreat across the Yellow River or accept the command of Song Zheyuan.
In terms of the relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, the various ministries are also different, after Sun Lianzhong surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek, he has never had two hearts, and Chiang Kai-shek is more trusting; Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu were resolute against Chiang Kai-shek, and were finally eliminated by Chiang Kai-shek; Song Zheyuan and Han Fuyu were separated and united, Pang Bingxun vacillated between various forces, and Chiang Kai-shek was always suspicious of him.
Liu Ruming's department is the subordinate of the original Song Dynasty, the chairman of Chahar Province, and also a prince, after the withdrawal of the first group army, it was assigned to the command of Sun Lianzhong, and there was a contradiction between Liu and Sun, so he could not be transferred from Sun Lianzhong's department to take over, but if he was not transferred from Sun Lianzhong's department to take over, Zhuang Jihua could not trust the people in the 68th Army. "Isn't it okay to summon troops and transfer people from episode 33?" Gong Xiuhua asked.
"It seems that there is a contradiction between them." Zhuang Jihua's tone was full of wandering: "Liu Ruming's unit has a deep relationship with him, and his younger brother Liu Ruzhen serves as the commander of the 36th Division of the Provisional Formation. ”
Along the way, Zhuang Jihua was thinking about this person, the relationship between the remaining three group armies and him was not shallow, Sun Zhen and Lan Yundong could only express their ecstasy at his arrival, especially Sun Zhen, although the 22nd Group Army was not suppressed like the 33rd Group Army and the Second Group Army, but also thanks to Zhuang Jihua's independent logistics supply system established by the Sichuan Army, the logistics supply system has been operating in a semi-open way, the generals of the Sichuan Army maintained this system, and Chiang Kai-shek also threw a mouse trap and simply turned a blind eye, Let them be.
However, this system could not fully meet the needs of the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army had already transferred 500,000 troops from before and after, except for the initial 22 nd Group Army, 23 rd Group Army, and 24 th Group Army, and in recent years, Wang Lingji's 30 th Group Army, Wang Zanxu's 29 th Group Army, and half of the 49 th Group Army, all the essence of the Sichuan Army have been transferred out of Sichuan. So many armies, that fragile one
The logistics system can only meet the requirements of 30 of the armies of each group. The more depressed of the three was Du Yuming, the 50th Group Army originally had jurisdiction over the 60th Army and the 58th Army, and after the 58th Army was transferred back to Yunnan, the 50th Group Army was left with a 60th Army, and its strength had dropped significantly.
"Guangting, the 60th Army will be expanded, from one army to two armies, the plan is already there, the independent 31st Brigade will be incorporated, and then the three security regiments in western Hubei will be incorporated in, and 10,000 people will be recruited from the reserve force in western Henan to form a new 17th Army, this half a month later, the theater will hold a meeting of all army commanders and above, this decision will be announced at the meeting, now you can make some preparations first, formulate a training plan, and personnel, army commander, I am willing to Zhang Lihui, in addition, I will transfer a group of officers over."
Before Zhuang Jihua came, he proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to expand the 60 th Army and let the 50 th Group Army be full, and Chiang Kai-shek once proposed that one of the two armies under the command of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River be incorporated into the 50 th Group Army, but Zhuang Jihua believed that the defense of Yichang, the gateway of the Sichuan River, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River should not be weakened, and it was better to expand the army on the spot. The 31st Independent Brigade is the remnant of the Beiyang Anhui Army, and the whole brigade is only more than 3,000 people, and the brigade commander Zuo Qingwei was born in Beiyang. At present, the 31st Independent Brigade is resting and recuperating in western Henan, and belongs to the operational sequence of the First Theater.
Chiang Kai-shek of course accepted this proposal, and was able to eliminate a ragtag army and increase the number of the Central Army, and Chiang Kai-shek would agree to it in any case.
In addition to the 31st Independent Brigade, the Fifth Group Army of the Strategic Reserve was also transferred to the Fifth Theater.
The Fifth Army is China's first mechanized group army, with two infantry corps and one tank division, the Sixth Army and the First Tank Division of the Fifth Army; Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the First Jade Army, concurrently served as the commander of two divisions, 200 divisions, division commander Gao Jiren, honorary 1st division, division commander Yi Tuhua; The commander of the Sixth Army, Gan Lichu, is under the command of the Q3rd Division, the division commander Lu Guoquan, the new 3rd Division, the division commander Li Jingyi, and the tank division commander Han Zengdong.
When Zhuang Jihua returned to Laohekou, Fan Hanjie, deputy commander of the Third Army, had been waiting for him in Laohekou for two days. In the defense of Wuhan, Fan Hanjie led the 27th Army to cover the entire Northern Expedition and retreat, and finally broke out of the encirclement of the 7th Japanese army, and was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun after the war.
When Xu Tingyao left the Fifth Army, Chiang Kai-shek originally liked Fan Hanjie, but Qiu Qingquan won a big victory in the Zaoyang counterattack and was known as a tank general. Chiang Kai-shek accepted the suggestion of the two men and made Fan Hanjie Qiu Qingquan's deputy.
In this way, Fan Hanjie of the first phase of Huangpu was appointed as the deputy commander of the Fifth Group Army, and Qiu Qingquan of the second phase of Huangpu was appointed as the commander.
Fan Hanjie came to find Zhuang Jihua to defend the area, but when he saw Fan Hanjie, another idea rose in Zhuang Jihua's heart, and after settling down the Fifth Group Army, he immediately drafted a report and formally recommended Du Yuming as the commander of the Fifth Group Army and Wang Guobin as the commander of the 50th Group Army.
"Is Wang Guobin rising too fast?" Gong Xiuhua is a little worried, it is logical for Fan Hanjie to replace Qiu Qingquan, Zhuang Jihua abruptly intervened, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely suspect it, and Wang Guobin, as the sixth phase of Whampoa, has surpassed many Whampoa classmates as a military commander, and many of the first phase of the students are still serving as division commanders, and then serving as the commander of the group army, I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek will not be able to put the following discussions. "There are people in the court who are good officials, take care of him." Zhuang Jihua seemed to be indifferent, and played with a grin: "Otherwise, you pick someone out for me." ”
Gong Xiuhua can't think about it, he can't fight the right person, Zhuang Jihua has only those people in his hands, Wang Guobin Zhang Lihui is already the highest, and there is only Wang Guobin to completely control the Fifty Group Army.
Zhuang Jihua signed the report and was about to affix the official seal, when Wu Ziniu came in and reported: "Commander, Mr. Feng, please see me." "Mr. Feng?" Zhuang Jihua shook his hands slightly, suddenly remembered something, put down the official seal in his hand and asked, "Is it Mr. Feng Yi?" "Yes."
"Please, please." Zhuang Jihua walked out as he spoke, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Feng Yi, who was wearing a blue cloth cotton robe that had been a little whitish all his life, standing there with a smile on his face, with a black scarf around his neck.
