Section 4 Return to the Fifth Theater III
It's a deal, the kind of deal that Zhuang Jihua has done a lot in the past decade, and it's just another time today. , qВ5, CoМ // But he prefers this deal, Dabie Mountain is strategically located, to the east, can threaten Jinpu Road, west, can cut off Pyonghan City; Strengthening the 21st Group Army will play an inestimable role in future counteroffensives.
The Jiangbei Command was a new command, and Li Zongren was to be formed from scratch, and he quickly submitted a list to the Military Council, most of whom were from the Fifth War Zone, and the rest were clearly members of the Gui family, and he flew to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek without Chiang Kai-shek's consent.
Li Zongren asked Chiang Kai-shek a pointed question: Since the Jiangbei Command refers to all the troops north of the Yangtze River and is the higher-level leading organ of each theater, how can it ensure that the orders of the Jiangbei Command can be carried out?
Chiang Kai-shek did not consider this problem, the Jiangbei Command was tailor-made for Li Zongren, and this command was just an empty shelf, but in the face of Li Zongren's questioning, Chiang Kai-shek could only cheer up and explain.
Li Zongren didn't care about Chiang Kai-shek's explanation, his question was just an introduction. He quickly put forward the next request: "Chairman of the committee, the Jiangbei Command Headquarters commands all the troops north of the Yangtze River, but it really needs to be implemented, and the command authority conflicts with the base camp, and it is not conducive to operations, so I think the Jiangbei Command only coordinates, especially the troops of the Eighth Theater and the Second War Zone, in addition, the Jiangbei Command must have the right to deploy logistics, and the command headquarters should not be located in Baoji, but should be located in Hanzhong, and have the jurisdiction of the local administration in southern Shaanxi and Hanzhong." ”
Chiang Kai-shek was hesitant to say that this condition was not high, especially the administrative jurisdiction, "If Li Zongren uses this power to expand the power of the Gui family to Hanzhong and southern Shaanxi, it will be a great moral problem in the future.
"If I want to retire, I'd rather go back to my hometown in Guangxi." Li Zongren looked at Chiang Kai-shek in contemplation, knowing what he was worried about, so he spoke again: "Chairman of the National People's Congress, the Jiangbei Command Department will not do anything militarily, but I still want to do something for the country, so I plan to promote social reform in Hanzhong and southern Shaanxi, and coordinate the military operations of various theaters, especially the operations of the Second War Zone and the First War Zone. ”
The hint in Li Zongren's words was obvious, if he did not agree to his request, he would not accept the appointment, Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and then said calmly: "The jurisdiction of the military organs over local administration will only be taken behind enemy lines...... 0""Chairman, I only recommend and suggest personnel matters, and do not interfere with the personnel rights of provincial governments. Li Zongren immediately added.
Chiang Kai-shek was much more relieved now, and he said with a smile: "Delin, don't say anything about going back to Guangxi, you have vigorously promoted social reform in the Fifth War Zone, and the results have been remarkable, so I will leave the affairs of Hanzhong and southern Shaanxi to you." ”
Li Zongren finally breathed a sigh of relief, Chiang Kai-shek picked up the list of headquarters on the table, and signed his name on it, many of Li Zongren's lists were the eyes and ears of the central government in the five theaters, these people were originally arranged to restrain Li Zongren, and now the power of the Jiangbei Command Headquarters is expanding, and it is also necessary to restrain it.
The chiefs of several major power departments in the Fifth Theater were transferred, and a large number of vacancies appeared in the headquarters, and Zhuang Jihua complained to Chiang Kai-shek while submitting a personnel list. In this list, Zhuang Jihua unabashedly appointed himself, Li Zhilong, director of the Political Department of the theater, Gong Chu, deputy chief of staff, He Wei, director of the Operations Division, Wang Xiaoshan, director of the Intelligence Division, and all the people in the Mass Mobilization Department and the Logistics Department were replaced by Zhuang people.
This list made He Yingqin a little smacked, he didn't know why Zhuang Jihua was so abnormal, you must know that Chiang Kai-shek has scruples about Zhuang Jihua now, and Chiang Kai-shek will not be wary of him for such a scruple to install his own people. What made He Yingqin strange was that Chiang Kai-shek actually agreed to this without making any amendments, and ordered the 49th Group Army and the Fifth Group Army, which were originally under the direct command of the Military Commission, to be transferred to the Fifth Theater, and it seems that he never had any doubts about Zhuang Jihua's trust.
However, the news from the Fifth War Zone soon made He Yingqin suddenly realize that the military commander set up the Central China Station in the Fifth War Zone, and the station chief was Jin Zizhan, a special commissioner of the Military Command, and the Central China Station was responsible for commanding the work of agents in Anhui, Hubei, and southern Henan. Dai Li's and Chiang Ching-kuo's men began to enter the Five War Zones on a large scale.
"Zhuang Wenge really dares to use it." He Yingqin didn't know whether he was surprised or appreciative, the commander in charge of the theater department wanted the approval of the Military Commission, but below the commander, Zhuang Jihua had the power to appoint and dismiss. However, most of the officers appointed by Zhuang Jihua this time were only in their thirties, and some were even only twenty-five or sixteen, which had never been done before.
Zhuang Jihua didn't care about this, and after sending Li Zongren away, he left Laohekou and went to various places to inspect, and the first stop was the 33rd Group Army stationed in the Suixian area. After Zhang Zizhong's death, Feng Zhi'an, commander of the 77th Army, took over as the commander of the group army, under the jurisdiction of Huang Weigang's 59th Army and Feng Zhi'an's 77th Army.
Zhuang Jihua did not inform anyone, so when he arrived at the headquarters of the 33rd Group Army, Feng Zhi'an was not at the headquarters, only Deputy Commander Li Wentian and Chief of Staff Zhang Kexia. Li Wentian received Zhuang Jihua while informing Feng Zhi'an!
In the past, Zhang Kexia did not impress Zhuang Jihua, but today Zhuang Jihua was deeply impressed.
"The 59th Army suffered relatively heavy losses in the early stage of the operation, and the army commander Huang Weigang was ill, and the work was presided over by deputy army commander Liu Zhensan, and it is currently resting in the Dahongshan area, and the troops are short of 6,000 men, and the military committee believes that the army is not in a good position to fight, and it will be reduced to two divisions, two brigades, and two regiments, and the 13th cavalry brigade will be assigned to the Second Group Army, and there will be no replenishment ......of weapons, equipment, and ammunition."
Zhang Kexia's tone was obviously dissatisfied, but he introduced it very completely, Zhuang Jihua listened silently: "The 59th Hood is a unit with a glorious anti-Japanese war tradition, a unit created by General Zhang Zizhong, I don't agree with the downsizing, the Suizao Battle was not fought well, there are many reasons, the main reason is not the 59th Army, Chief of Staff Zhang, what is the current morale and combat readiness of the group army?" ”
"The morale of the 59th Army is not high, the main reason is that the replenishment of troops has never arrived, and it is also facing downsizing; This state of affairs also affected the 77th Army, which was very poorly prepared for combat, with only half a base of artillery shells and bullet grenades, and only one base of bullets, according to our statistics, on average, only six rounds per soldier. ”
When Zhuang Jihua heard this, he motioned to Gong Xiuhua to write down all of this, and Zhang Kexia continued expressionlessly: "The Japanese army opposite us is the Third Division and the Thirteenth Division, the Third Division is the Fourth Wing Division, the Fifth Brigade is stationed in Xiaogan, and the Eighteenth Wing is stationed in Xinyang; The 13th Division is also a 4th Division, stationed in Yingcheng and Jingshan. If the Japanese attack now, we will definitely not be able to stop it. I suggest that the 36th Group Army extend southward and enter the Gaozhuang, Xiaolin, and Caodian areas in the north of Suixian, to share a little of our pressure, and in addition, ask the theater command to replenish us as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Kexia introduced the enemy's love and friendship clearly, in just one hour, Zhuang Jihua had a complete understanding of the situation they were facing, and he was about to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, a thought crossed his mind, and he swallowed what he wanted to say again.
"I'm clear about your situation." In an instant, Zhuang Jihua retracted the promise he had just made to supplement them as soon as possible, and Zhang Kexia obviously heard that his and Li Wentian's faces were full of disappointment. "There is intelligence that shows that the defeat of the Battle of Suizao is due to the leakage of intelligence," Zhuang Jihua pondered and said: "What is the situation of the activities of the Japanese in the Luomen Defense Area?" ”
"The activities of some traitors and businessmen have been discovered, and intelligence work against Japan has always been the responsibility of the theater intelligence department and the military commander." Li Wentian's tone was gloomy, and he was very disappointed that Zhuang Jihua did not immediately agree to add. After Zhuang Jihua took office, the 33rd Group Army was full of optimism, after all, Zhuang Jihua's previous record was very good, and the only development of the 59th Army after the Anti-Japanese War was achieved with the support of Zhuang Jihua, but today it disappointed them.
After Feng Zhi'an came back, Zhuang Jihua had a meeting with Feng Zhi'an again, Feng Zhi'an just briefly talked about the situation of the Japanese army in person, and then complained vigorously, complaining about the replenishment of personnel, complaining about the supply of ammunition, and complaining about the shortage of military salaries. Zhuang Jihua just listened lightly, didn't explain, just listened calmly. "It seems that the downsizing of the 59th Army is a foregone conclusion." After looking at the dust covering the shadow of Zhuang Jihua's departure, Li Wentian sighed bitterly. "In the end, it is a person from Whampoa, how can he be dedicated to going against Lao Jiang's intentions." Zhang Kexia also looked at the dust in the distance with regret, and the daylight flickered.
Feng Zhi'an was also a little frustrated, he was going to take the 59th Army of Dahongshan, but when he received a telegram from Li Wentian on the way, he immediately turned around and rushed back to Lei, thinking that he could move Zhuang Jihua, but now he was disappointed. "What do you think?" The embroidery painting of the palace in the car was also asking, she obviously felt that Zhuang Jihua had something in mind, otherwise he would definitely immediately replenish the 33rd Group Army.
"There are GD activities in the 33rd Group Army" Zhuang Jihua was noncommittal: "The military commander suspects that there is a GD organization in this group army, more than a year ago, the Fifth War Zone once cracked a CCP espionage case, and the captured CCP personnel carried 10,000 oceans, although this person died and did not speak, but his superior was Jin Zizhan, Jin Zizhan came over and said that this 10,000 oceans was probably provided by He Jifeng, deputy commander of the 77th Army and commander of the L7Q Division, but they have no evidence yet." "Don't Jin Zizhan know?" Gong Xiuhua was a little surprised. At that time, Jin Zizhan had just been transferred to northern Hubei Province, and he was originally in charge of the work of the Northeast Army. He did it. ”
The Jia Tao incident occurred after Zhuang Jihua left the Fifth War Zone, the 51st Army was ordered to advance into Luzhong, and encountered the Japanese army on the way, the 342 Brigade broke away from the army and moved to the base area of the Eighth Route Army, Yu Xuezhong protested to the CCP on the one hand, and sent troops to surround the department, and finally the CCP had to withdraw the CCP members who had been exposed, and the rest of the troops were returned to Yu Xuezhong, which was very fierce at the time. At that time, the leader of the uprising was Jin Zizhan under the pseudonym Jia Tao, in fact, Jin Zizhan was not his real name, his real name was Xiang Naiguang. Recently, the thinking has not been smooth, there are still many things, and the update is a bit slow, please forgive me. Call for monthly pass support!!!!!
