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

In the June sun, the soldiers in gray military uniforms are training nervously, sweat running down their backs, soaking the military uniforms on their bodies, .qВ5, C0m/field, corn is already a small waist high, and the villagers are busy in the field. In the spring, there were finally a few rains, which infiltrated the dry land, the drought was alleviated, the harvest was expected, the enthusiasm of the villagers was higher, and the people who went out to flee the famine returned one after another.

Two jeeps sped past the road, rolling up a yellow dragon and obscuring the pedestrians. The jeep did not erect a canvas to cover it, and the checkpoints along the way did not seem to be surprised to see the generals of the Eighth Route Army wearing gray military uniforms on the car, but these generals of the Eighth Route Army were different from other Eighth Route Army, they were equipped with military ranks, and the two shining gold stars led by the sentries made the sentries all cautious and careful.

Seeing that Kaifeng was getting closer and closer, the adjutant sitting side by side looked at Chen G, who was watching the scenery casually, with some concern, Chen G's face was very relaxed, but he was not like this in his heart. After observing along the way, he had to admit that Zhuang Jihua's disaster relief in Henan was very successful, as evidenced by the verdant green of the fields, and the military discipline of the Kuomintang army had also improved significantly, and there was almost no disturbance to the people.

According to the intelligence, while Zhuang Jihua was in the midst of disaster relief, he vigorously promoted the Chongqing model, established Kuomintang organizations, party branches, three youth leagues, peasant associations, formed trade unions and neighborhood committees in the cities, replaced land certificates throughout the province, carried out household registration, issued identity cards, and implemented material control. The Henan Disaster Relief Committee received a large number of donations and purchased a large amount of grain from Hunan, Guangdong, and this series of measures quickly stabilized the hearts of the people in Henan.

After entering June, Zhuang Jihua began to transfer the troops trained in Hubei to the north one after another, the first to bear the brunt was the 49th Group Army, the 49th Group Army was transferred north to Kaifeng, and the Fifth Group Army, which was originally stationed in Kaifeng, was later transferred to the Taikang line; This was followed by the transfer of the Fourth Army to Xinzheng.

After strengthening the defense line of the Yellow River, the 21st Group Army moved south, stationed in the Qianshan Taihu Lake area, and formed a flanking attack on Anqing with the troops of the Jiangnan Theater advancing north and south; The 17th Army was attached to the 15th Group Army and went south to Lu'an; The newly formed 15th Army was attached to the newly transferred 24th Group Army and stationed in Huoqiu, posing a threat to the Japanese army in Hefei.

More of the main forces were secretly transferred eastward, the Second Group Army and the 36th Group Army were commanded by Song Xilian and stationed in Shangqiu, and the 22nd Group Army was stationed in Haozhou; The 50th Group Army and the First Group Army were stationed in Yongcheng under the command of Du Yuming. The Qing Third Army and the Qing Fourth Army were directly under the jurisdiction of the Theater Command and were placed in Suiyang and Tuocheng.

In this series of arrangements, Chen G had already faintly seen the direction of attack that Zhuang Jihua told him, but what puzzled him was that the Japanese army did not seem to be aware that the main force of the Japanese army in North China sent a partial division to pursue Huang Kcheng who broke through after the encirclement and suppression of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, and the six divisions of the main force were all pressed on the north bank of the Yellow River, as if facing a great enemy.

"The Japanese army still has the ability to attack", Chen G remembered the central instructions forwarded by the headquarters, with the arrogance of the Japanese army, at present, there are eight divisions concentrated on the north bank of the Yellow River, and three divisions and regiments are concentrated in the Xuzhou area, with a total strength of 140,000 troops; The Jiangbei Theater has a lot of troops under its jurisdiction, but the theater is vast, and Zhuang Jihua is obviously aware of this, so he asked Chiang Kai-shek to come to the 24th Group Army, but only adding such a group army, less than 100,000 people, cannot make up for the weakness of insufficient troops.

The 24th Group Army led by Yang Sen was originally under the jurisdiction of the 47th Army and the 20th Army, in the defense of Wuhan, the 47th Army crossed the Yangtze River north, the Group Army was separated, after Li Jiayu was killed, the 47th Army entered the Sulu Theater of Operations, and the 24th Army was left with a 20th Army, Yang Sen wanted to make up for the Group Army several times, but Chen Cheng first pushed back and blocked, and then simply allocated a division of the Jiangxi Army to Yang Sen, Yang Sen was reluctant to ask for it, thinking that this army was too poorly equipped and had low combat effectiveness, and what he wanted was the Sichuan Army.

Later, Yang Sen and Wang Lingji discussed and decided to merge the two group armies to form the new 24th Group Army. Although Wang Lingji tried his best to win over Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng was not at ease with him, the troops were stuck in everything, and they were all thanks to the Sichuan Army's own supply system, but after all, the 24th Group Army and the 30th Group Army were in the Ninth and Third Theaters, and the road was far away, and the replenishment of supplies had to go through many checkpoints, and if there was a slight difference in the middle, the two armies would not get anything.

The Jiangbei Theater is reorganizing the troops, and the Jiangnan Theater is also reorganizing the troops, and Yang Sen and Wang Lingji are combined, so instead of guarding an empty shell like this, it is better to seize the opportunity to simply merge and then apply for transfer to the Jiangbei Theater. The two of them must have asked someone to tell Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng pondered that the two group armies could merge and vacate a group army number, so he agreed. The new 24th Group Army was composed of the 20th Army and the 73rd Army, of which the 73rd Army was concurrently commanded by Wang Lingji, and the four B divisions were reduced to three divisions: the 15th Division, with Jiang Tao as the division commander, and the new 13th Division, with Tang Xunbo as the division commander; The establishment of the 20th Army remained unchanged, with a total of 87,000 troops.

In May, in the Burma battlefield, the Japanese army suddenly retreated, Yu Jishi immediately commanded the troops to pursue, recovered Rangoon, reopened the Yunnan-Burma line, and then, the Burmese independent government announced the establishment of Yangon. Also in this month, MacArthur led the U.S.-Australian coalition from New Guinea to begin a counteroffensive against the Japanese.

In just one and a half years between this time and the attack on Pearl Harbor, the entire situation of the war was reversed, and the Japanese army contracted its defense around the world, and there was no longer an offensive force.

But in this good news, Taihang Mountain has entered the most difficult period, and the biggest impact of the fall of the Jizhong base area is that there is not enough food, and hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people on Taihang Mountain are in a shortage of food; There is no way to solve the problem of food, but what is more worrying is weapons and ammunition, Chen G himself knows that if it were not for Zhuang Jihua, each soldier in his army would have seven bullets.

If there is really no way, it is impossible for this headquarters to send him a telegram and ask him to find Zhuang Jihua again, to be honest, even he knows how difficult it is, he learned from Xuanxia's father that Zhuang Jihua does not have much material in his hands, and the newly transferred 24th Group Army, Zhuang Jihua can't change its clothes.

"You say, what is Song Meiling doing in Kaifeng?" Chen G put down his troublesome thoughts and asked in a joking tone.

"It's nominally talking about condolences and disaster relief, but it is estimated that it is also buying people's hearts, commander, why didn't Chiang Kai-shek come?" The adjutant asked.

Chen G smiled, his eyes flickering behind the wide black-framed lenses: "Yu Jishi regained Yangon and caused a lot of trouble, Chiang Kai-shek didn't hurry up to wipe his buttocks, he had time to blame." ”

Song Meiling led the rear women's condolence group to carry a large number of materials to the disaster area to comfort the victims, and the members of the condolence group were all members of the Women's Salvation Association led by Soong Meiling. However, Song Meiling came to Henan, Chiang Kai-shek did not accompany her, and the Kuomintang officially reported that Chiang Kai-shek still stayed in Chongqing, but Chen G guessed that this may be a trick.

At this time, a group of tanks came from the opposite side, the driver slowed down, the back of the tank sprayed white smoke, and the gap between the two tanks was about twenty meters, the tanker pushed open the roof, sat on the roof, and looked at the two jeeps passing by with a blank face.

Such a column of steel suddenly appeared on this road, with a long column, cold iron armor, long barrels, and swarthy muzzles, adding a bit of murderous aura to this scorching hot weather.

Chen G silently calculated in his heart, there were about thirty tanks in the past, another forty armored vehicles, and four self-propelled guns, Chen G was a little surprised, tanks only had the Fifth Army, how did they get here.

On the next road, Chen G kept encountering a tank column heading east, the longest of which had hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled guns. Chen G didn't understand, what were these tanks going east to deal with the Eighth Route Army? Not, Zhuang Jihua will not deal with the New Eighth Army? With this possibility, Zhuang Jihua is not a soft-hearted person, and his undisguised domineering in the process of annexing the Second Group Army and the Thirty-third Group Army proves that there is no essential difference between him and Chen Cheng.

After approaching Kaifeng, there were no tanks on the road, Chen G nodded in his heart, which means that these tanks are not from the 49th Group Army, they are transferred from the rear, and the 50th Group Army is moving forward, Zhuang Jihua is going to cross the river now? Chen G immediately rejected this idea, with what he knew, Zhuang Jihua would not advance north at this time, and the most likely attack would be after the summer harvest.

The defense of Kaifeng City has been significantly strengthened, and the checkpoints outside the city have become stricter, although they saw the two generals on Chen G's shoulders, the sentries still meticulously checked their documents and asked them about the purpose of Kaifeng.

After entering the city, Chen G found that the patrols on the streets had increased, but the market was still calm, and the store doors were open. Chen G noticed that the banners on the street were all written to welcome Song Meiling.

The jeep did not stop in Kaifeng City, but passed through Kaifeng City, drove to the west of Kaifeng, and drove into Dawazhuang in the southwest of Kaifeng, where the security was more stringent, and the jeep passed through three checkpoints before entering the village.

Wu Ziniu came to report that when Chen G arrived, Zhuang Jihua was accompanying Song Meiling in the field outside the village, there were two or three women behind Song Meiling, Zhuang Jihua didn't know him, when Song Meiling introduced it just now, Zhuang Jihua also heard it, Chen Lifu's wife Sun Luqing, Song Ziwen's wife Zhang Leyi, etc., are all the families of high-ranking officials and nobles in the court.

"Let the palace secretary greet me, I don't have time now." Zhuang Jihua glanced at Song Meiling and told Wu Ziniu in a low voice. I didn't bring the palace embroidery painting when I came out today, and the palace embroidery painting accompanied the wives of several condolence groups to stay in Dawazhuang, and they mainly looked at it in the village.

Song Meiling ignored Zhuang Jihua, she was talking to an old farmer in the field on the side of the road, Zhuang Jihua did not disturb her, but approached Bai Sitong behind her.

Since the last time Song Meiling visited the United States, Bai Sitong gradually received Chiang Kai-shek's attention, Song Meiling also had a good impression of him, often asked him some diplomatic questions, and Bai Sitong did have some ability, and the suggestions put forward were adopted several times, so more and more attention, Chiang Kai-shek simply transferred him to the chamber again, this time Song Meiling came to Henan, Chiang Kai-shek asked Bai Sitong to represent him.

Chen G is not right, Chiang Kai-shek did not go to Burma, but to Lanzhou. After the establishment of the independent government of Burma, Yu Jishi seized the entire southern part of Myanmar according to the strategy formulated in advance, and the British army did not expect the sudden retreat of the Japanese army, and when Mountbatten reacted, the entire southern part of Myanmar had become the world of the Chinese.

Mountbatten immediately ordered the British army to enter Yangon, and telegraphed the expeditionary force to continue to pursue the Japanese army on the Burma-Malaysian border, but this order was angrily rejected by Yu Jishi, and at the same time the expeditionary force was placed on the path of the British army's advance, blocking the British army west of Rangoon.

The situation in Burma suddenly became tense, and Stilwell shuttled back and forth between India, Yangon, and Chongqing, and both refused to budge, so Stilwell had no choice but to report the situation to Washington and let the political leaders intervene.

Before Roosevelt could react, London had been blown upside down, and the House of Commons passed a resolution at the same time, demanding that Churchill make a strong statement to take back Burma and take back Rangoon. Churchill sent several telegrams in succession, lodged a solemn protest to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding that the squadron immediately withdraw from Rangoon and revoke the independent government of Burma, otherwise the British Empire would never agree. In confirmation of his threat, the British immediately closed the Sino-Indian highway and cut off the passage of Chinese foreign aid.

Under such circumstances, Chiang Kai-shek naturally did not go to Burma, but he was very worried about the development of the situation in Burma. The Foreign Ministry believes that it is now an ally with Great Britain and that it is not appropriate to offend Britain at the moment, and proposes to accept British conditions. Bai Sitong suggested a temporary concession, but not to hand over Burma to the British, but to the Americans, and the Burmese independence government moved to northern Burma, under the control of the squadron.

Chiang Kai-shek did not make any indications, so he went to Lanzhou to inspect, and before leaving, he asked Bai Sitong to accompany Song Meiling to Henan, which made Bai Sitong a little depressed.

"During the Cultural Revolution, a few months ago, the newspapers simply described Henan as a hell on earth, but now it seems that it is not the case at all." Bai Sitong said with a relaxed expression as he looked at the vibrant corn in the field.

"You have to come a few months earlier to know that the description in the newspaper is to save face for the national government, but now it's about the same, anyway, the people of Henan are living in dire straits, like hell on earth." Zhuang Jihua sighed, this green field is the result of the entire Henan garrison party department and the three youth league administrations working hard for several months.

For this result, he interfered with the party department, interfered with the Three Youth League, interfered with the administration, ordered the whole army to go on a diet, and killed dozens of heads.

"Hehe," Bai Sitong smiled mockingly: "It's better to cry all the way than to cry all the way, those local tyrants and profiteers, don't care what he does." ”

Monthly passes, monthly passes, and whether there are any, are there any urgent requests for help
