Zhuang Jihua knows very well that the Northern Expedition will be coming soon, of course, he still does not know the specific time, but he estimates that it will be two months soon, and three months at the slow, and the Northern Expedition will inevitably begin. The civil war in Hunan had begun, Tang Shengzhi marched into Changsha, and Zhao Hengti went into the wilderness; Tang Shengzhi is not authentic, after entering Changsha, he began to engage in the deeds of a son of heaven and a courtier, took Zhao's subordinates to sacrifice knives, killed Liu Chongwei and Xiao Baoyun, arrested Tang Xiluan, Liu Yu and others, Ye Kaixin retreated to Yuezhou to ask Wu Peifu for help, He Yaozu was stationed in Changde, watching left and right.

Zhuang Jihua estimated that Wu Peifu's army would soon march into Hunan, and then Tang Shengzhi would ask for help from Liangguang, and the Northern Expedition would be launched. The current situation of the First Division is that it cannot go to the battlefield, and the officers and men are confused in their thinking and their training is lax, so they must be rectified as soon as possible and their morale restored.

Therefore, the training plan he proposed included two aspects: first, ideological rectification, and the content of political education was changed to patriotic education, military style and spiritual training; To this end, he wrote two pamphlets: "Building the Spirit of Patriotism" and "Norms for Revolutionary Military Personnel"; The former recounts the aggressions of the great powers against China in modern times and the impact of these aggressions on the people, instilling in the soldiers why they fight; The latter trains military professionals to be professionally guarded. Ideological rectification is mainly carried out by party representatives and cultural teachers at all levels.

Another aspect is military skills and tactical training, military skills include shooting, assassination, cross-country, construction of field fortifications, squad and platoon company tactics, small group tactics, offensive formation evolution, defensive tactics, and so on.

According to Zhuang Jihua's habits, he specified the goals and detection methods that must be achieved in each time period, and conducted a continuous review once a week; Every two weeks, a battalion review is held, and a regimental review is conducted once a month; The method of the review is confrontation, and the divisional commander arbitrarily transfers two companies from each regiment to carry it out, and the platoon commander who fails three times in a row is dismissed from his post during the company review; The company commander who failed twice in a row during the battalion review was dismissed, and the battalion commander warned; During the regimental review, the battalion commander, who had failed twice in a row, was demoted, and the company commander was dismissed.

After these two plans were brought out, the military cadres attending the meeting had not yet spoken, but party representative Miao Bin was the first to open fire.

"The ideological aspect is the work of our political workers, and Deputy Division Commander Zhuang is too lenient." Miao Bin said in a weird way that he also understood the reason why Chiang Kai-shek sent Zhuang Jihua to the First Division, but now that his interests are touched, he can't speak.

"The words of the party representative are right, it stands to reason that I shouldn't interfere in political work, but..."Zhuang Jihua raised his eyes to look at the officers attending the meeting, and his tone suddenly became stern: "The biggest problem of the first division now is ideological confusion, from the time of teaching the regiment to the present, the first division has never been chaotic, the first division is the symbol of our party army, so the first division must not fall; Ideological confusion is a problem of thought, and the solution must start with thought; It's been so long since I quit our army, and the chaos is still there, and I haven't seen any solutions from you, so I have no choice but to do it. ”

Zhuang Jihua's last sentence stopped Miao Bin, Miao Bin blushed, and said after a while: "Hold the influence of [***]." ”

"Yes, but now that they are gone, we have to continue to do it, and only by replacing their theory with a new theory and educating the soldiers can we eliminate their influence." Zhuang Jihua said.

"This is my business, you don't have to worry about it." Miao Bin said arrogantly that Zhuang Jihua's words undoubtedly accused him of doing nothing during this time, sitting back and watching the chaos of political work, and seriously dereliction of duty.

"It's not just your business," Zhuang Jihua retorted, Miao Bin is not a Whampoa instructor, so Zhuang Jihua doesn't give him face at all: "The first division is going to lose the battle, the first to lose his head is Master Wang, and then me, I can't ignore the things that involve my head." ”

Miao Bin looked at Wang Bailing as if asking for help, but Wang Bailing silently flipped through Zhuang Jihua's two booklets and pretended not to see them. Miao Bin was furious in his heart, and he said angrily: "What if I don't carry it out? ”

"One regiment is carried out alone, and I will declare to the principal that I am only responsible for one regiment." Zhuang Jihua said without hesitation. Bastard, don't shit while occupying the pit, I'll do you a favor, and you still don't appreciate it.

Miao Bin hesitated in his heart, he knew Zhuang Jihua's prestige among the Whampoa classmates, offending Zhuang Jihua was equivalent to offending a large number of Whampoa classmates, and Chiang Kai-shek sent Zhuang Jihua to let him train the troops, if Zhuang Jihua handed over this report, Chiang Kai-shek would inevitably be furious, and he would have no choice but to resign.

"Cultural Revolution, don't be rash," Wang Bailing came out to be a good person at this time: "Brother Picheng, I think this is very good in the Cultural Revolution, and the principal must also appreciate it, I don't think there is any problem in implementing this." ”

Wang Bailing's words surprised Miao Bin, he originally expected Wang Bailing to support him, but he didn't expect Wang Bailing to support Zhuang Jihua; Zhuang Jihua was even more surprised, why did Monk Wang change his surname today and take the wrong medicine? Zhuang Jihua looked at Wang Bailing suspiciously, wondering what he wanted to do.

Zhuang Jihua didn't know, Miao Bin immediately figured it out, Wang Bailing said that the principal also appreciated it, this is to warn himself, if you are about to make trouble with Chiang Kai-shek, you Miao Bin can't please him. Chiang Kai-shek is not a fool, he understands the relationship between Wang Bailing and Zhuang Jihua, so before Wang Bailing left, he specially called him to the villa and warned him to let go of Zhuang Jihua and support Zhuang Jihua's work. Now seeing that Miao Bin was going to conflict with Zhuang Jihua, he hurriedly dissuaded him, so as not to make Miao Bin suffer.

Miao Bin has been beaten down, and party representatives at all levels will not oppose it even more if they are lower; This is how the political work was decided; As soon as the military discussion began, Xue Yue expressed his opposition.

"This plan is unrealistic, weekly proofreading can be carried out, but once every two weeks, the camp school review week, even into the school review?"

"Absolutely."

"That is to say, from the second week onwards, each company will spend two days for proofreading, and each company will spend three days for proofreading during the regimental review week, is this feasible?" Xue Yue asked.

Zhuang Jihua pondered for a while and said: "The regimental school review week, the camp school review does not have to be carried out. ”

Xue Yue's palms were victorious, and his confidence increased greatly, and he said: "According to this amount of training, the physical consumption of soldiers is very large, how to ensure logistics?" ”

"This is your problem, I remind you, the food fee has already been paid." Zhuang Jihua said coldly, Xue Yue was speechless, paused, and then he said unconvinced: "That little food fee can't guarantee nutrition at all." ”

"No," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "When I was in the Seventh Company, the food expenses were lower than now, but why were the soldiers of the Seventh Company able to train?" Now the food expenses are not enough? ”

Xue Yue couldn't answer, after the [***] officer left, the army's routine was chaotic, and the officers who were already open to the finances took the opportunity to cancel this article, and the soldiers' food became worse and worse, but the expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and the direct result was that the food expenses were not enough.

"Why aren't the company's finances made public?" Zhuang Jihua asked, and there was silence in the venue: "Corruption?" Zhuang Jihua was angry in his heart, and his tone became more and more unkind.

"The Cultural Revolution, it's not like this, it's..., this..., this, financial disclosure is done by [***], they are gone, so naturally we shouldn't do it again." Wang Bailing came out to play a round.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Wang Bailing coldly and said: "Financial disclosure is to prevent corruption, and our Kuomintang also opposes corruption. ”

As soon as Zhuang Jihua's voice fell, the people below whispered, staring at Wang Bailing with their eyes, Wang Bailing's face was red and white, Zhuang Jihua understood that the source of corruption in the first division was on Wang Bailing, but he pretended not to know: "Teacher, did you say it?" ”

"Yes, yes, it should be like this, it should be like this." Wang Bailing nodded and said: "In the future, I will do what Deputy Division Commander Zhuang said, and the finances of each company must be made public." ”

The financial disclosure did not cause any loss to Wang Bailing, and the money he embezzled did not come from the company anyway. It's just that he is worried that Zhuang Jihua will start an anti-corruption campaign; But Zhuang Jihua didn't say this again, but brought the topic back to the whole training plan.

"Head Xue, do you have any questions?"

"Yes." Xue Yue stood up and continued to ask, "Why is there no regimental tactical training?" ”

"That's a good question," Zhuang Jihua nodded and said: "Commander Xue asked a good question, there is no tactical training at the regimental level and above in this training plan, this is only because this is a primary tactical training plan, that is to say, this is the first stage of training; Later, there will be a second stage, and then there will be regimental tactical training. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua stood up and looked at the venue: "Is there any problem, yes, bring it up now, there will be no chance after the meeting is over." ”

After being silent for a while, Sun Yuanliang asked, "Deputy division commander, is the punishment too severe?" Removed twice? ”

"Commander Sun, in troubled times, the first division is so chaotic because it is too loose, and it is better to remove them than to let them lose their lives." Zhuang Jihua said lightly.

Lost your life? The officers attending the meeting were shocked, and Sun Yuanliang said in a non-determined manner: "No, it will be difficult to shoot you." ”

Zhuang Jihua sneered, grabbed a newspaper from the table on the side, and slapped it on the table: "Didn't you read the newspaper?" Wu Peifu's dispatch of troops to Hunan has become inevitable, and after Tang Shengzhi is defeated, he will ask for help from the national political axe, and the Northern Expedition will be launched. Can you win a battle on the battlefield? After losing the battle, according to the law of revolutionary soldiers, should they be shot? ”

"You regiment commanders and battalion commanders must take responsibility, don't relax because of classmates and friends, classmates and friends, you can help him in other aspects, but you can't in training, you are harming him, not helping him." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he sat down.

Wang Bailing knew that it was time for him to speak, he stood up and scanned everyone who participated in the meeting with a majestic eye, this is what he learned at the Yueben Military Academy, when the instructor said that this was spiritual encouragement, when the superiors looked at the subordinates with this kind of eyes, the subordinates would be encouraged and their courage would be doubled.

But Wang Bailing was very disappointed, the officers were sitting in a precarious position, their eyes were level, and no one looked at him at all, so he cleared his throat and said: "Since everyone has no objections, we will implement this plan according to it, this plan has been carefully studied by the division commander and Deputy Division Commander Zhuang, and it is done in response to the current situation of the division. ”

Zhuang Jihua's expression didn't move at all, but Sun Yuanliang and Xue Yue secretly scolded shamelessly in their hearts, everyone knew that this plan was made by Zhuang Jihua, and there was nothing to do with him Wang Bailing, and now he actually put ,....,gold on his face in public, and he could be so shameless; It's a wonder of the world.

After the meeting, Miao Bin was still not convinced, and he did not discuss it with Wang Bailing, so he quietly reported the political work part of Zhuang Jihua's army reorganization plan to Chiang Kai-shek, and at the same time attached his report, thinking that this was a method of training troops without [***], and Zhuang Jihua had always been friendly with [***] people, and concluded that Zhuang Jihua was a communist who had slipped through the net.

After the report was handed in, Chiang Kai-shek called him a few days later, and in Chiang Kai-shek's office, Chiang Kai-shek scolded him.

"...., you can't help it, Cultural Revolution, help you figure out a way, you don't know what to do, you will take revenge, shameless!! Shameless! Chiang Kai-shek pointed his nose and scolded him, but Miao Bin was submissive and did not dare to make the slightest excuse.

"The Cultural Revolution was [***]? If he [***] he would tell me himself, you think he would be as ...... as you," Chiang Kai-shek looked at Miao Bin with disdain, Miao Bin was red-faced, and he wished that there was a crack in the ground, and he would get into it.

"You go back for me, I tell you, this plan will be promoted throughout the army, if you don't do it well, I'll do it again!" After Chiang Kai-shek finished scolding, Miao Bin obediently went out, but he found that each of Chiang Kai-shek's adjutant attendants had a good face for him.

Miao Bin regretted this in his heart, no wonder Wang Bailing didn't let him clash with Zhuang Jihua, no wonder Wang Bailing insisted on putting gold on his face, he knew that he could also put gold on his face.

Soon after, Deng Yanda, director of the Political Department of the First Army (after Zhou Enlai's resignation, Deng Yanda took over), came to the First Division to announce the appointment of Zhuang Jihua as deputy party representative and director of the Political Department of the First Division.
