Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Lu Han first picked up the tea and took a sip, and then said: "Although our Yunnan Army lost the battle in Wuhan this time."

"However, during the Battle of Xuzhou, our Yunnan Army paid a heavy price."

"Especially Zhang Chong's bloody battle at Yuwang Mountain bought us valuable time for the transfer of troops in the Xuzhou Theater."

Lu Han also let his confidants spread the changes that occurred at the Jinling Headquarters meeting to Dian Province.

After receiving this information, Long Yun in Dian Province immediately telegraphed the Jinling headquarters.

The newly formed Third Army could be punished for its defeat in the Battle of Wuhan, but Zhang Chong and military advisor-level officers were shot.

He, Long Yun, absolutely disagrees!

Moreover, as a member of the Military Commission, he disagreed with this Military Commission directive.

Hengshan Conference!

After Dai Chunfeng received the message from Long Yun, he immediately reported it to Principal Chang.

Lao Chang read the telegram, and then based on the Hengshan meeting, Lu Han also argued hard, and he also made a decision.

Then ask Dai Chunfeng to tell Minister He!
After receiving the latest instructions, Lao He immediately began to make adjustments.

His eyes scanned the venue first.

"Everyone, according to the latest instructions from Principal Chang, the punishment for the Yunnan Army will be revised."

"The newly appointed commander of the Third Army, Zhang Chong, has been dismissed from his post and all the remaining officers at the military division level have been dismissed from their posts."

"Sun Du, commander of the 58th Army, recorded a major demerit to see the consequences."

After that, Minister He announced the intermission!

During the halftime break, Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, Yang Sen and others gathered together.

The Sichuan army generals are in their own small courtyards.

Yu Hua once again became a cook and cooked barbecue for everyone.

At the barbecue party, Deng Xihou first picked up a skewer and put it into his mouth.

"Everyone, this meeting was supposed to make another adjustment to the establishment of our Sichuan Army."

"However, under the objections of Liu Wenhui, Pan Wenhua and I."

"The Hengshan Conference did not attack our Sichuan Army."

Sun Zhen chewed his food carefully and said leisurely: "Damn it...the Jinling Command still has great opinions on our Sichuan Army."

Fan Shaozeng finished a piece of pork belly and put down the bamboo stick: "We Sichuan Army only need to be united like we did several times before."

"Then the threat from the Jinling Command will definitely be shattered."

"Just like the Yunnan Army and the Guangxi Army, everyone is united and will never be afraid of the Jinling Command."

Yang Sen looked at Yu Hua, who was brushing seasonings on the skewers, and said, "Brother Yu."

"Tell me, what plans does the Jinling Command have for this Hengshan meeting?"

"Give us analysis!!"

Yu Hua put on his apron and after brushing the seasoning on a skewer, he said, "Brothers."

"I have analyzed for you before that the war between China and Japan is a protracted war."

Everyone nodded slightly. Yu Hua told everyone before when Marshal Liu was still here.

"After the all-out war of resistance, the Japanese army hoped to achieve a quick victory and defeat our National Government as soon as possible and end the Sino-Japanese War."

"We only have to fight for a long time and trade space for time to achieve final victory."

"Our China's geography is divided into three levels, the area where Hunan Province and Sichuan Province now meet."

"This area belongs to the second level. Here, we will stalemate with the Japanese army until we achieve final victory."

Having said this, Yu Hua put the skewers in his hands.

Continue to add seasonings to the next skewer: "For the Hengshan meeting, two theater commanders came, Gu Zhutong from the third theater and Chen Cheng from the ninth theater."

"After the Battle of Wuhan, Principal Chang made the affirmative decision to engage in a large-scale military exchange with the Japanese army in the Hunan Province area!"

"From the Qinling Mountains in the north to western Henan, western Hubei, western Hunan, and then to Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, this is a defense line that must not be retreated."

"Therefore, the focus of Japanese attacks in the future will be Hunan Province."

"Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, was the focus of the Japanese attack."

After saying that, Yu Hua added condiments to the grilled sausages and ate them himself.

His eyes fell on Deng Xihou, "Commander Deng, is my conclusion correct?"

When Deng Xihou saw the big guys looking at him, he finished the kebabs slowly.

"Basically in line with Principal Chang's wishes."

"The Military Commission held a short meeting before, and that's what Principal Chang thought!"

Fan Shaozeng stuffed the skewers into his mouth and gave Hua a thumbs up: "Brother Yu, you are the winner."

"Even to think of this, you are much better than me, Fan Ha'er!"

In response to this, Yu Hua quickly said: "Brother Fan, you are joking. I know what you are capable of."

"Don't belittle yourself!!"

The 88th Army under Fan Shaozeng also has strong combat effectiveness.

When they came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, the 88th Army, under the command of Fan Shaozeng, achieved many impressive achievements.

In particular, the 88th Army killed Naoji Sakai, the commander of the Japanese Lieutenant General and the commander of the Japanese th Division.

The death of a division commander of the 15th Division was the first on the job since the creation of the Army.

Later, Fan Shaozeng's 88th Army killed Kono, the major general brigade commander of the Japanese th Division.

Because under the leadership of Fan Shaozeng, the 88th Army's combat effectiveness gradually increased and it fought many tough battles during the Anti-Japanese War.

After Principal Chang saw the powerful combat effectiveness of the 88th Army, he was moved.

Later, using the power of the Military Commission, Fan Shao was promoted to a higher position.

Fan Shaozeng was transferred to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 10th Army, and he was transferred away from the 88th Army, causing him to lose military power.

Fan Shaozeng returned to his hometown in Sichuan Province in anger!

After everyone had eaten and drank in the small courtyard, Minister He sent someone to inform the Sichuan Army to continue the meeting.

The Hengshan Conference continues!
Minister He looked at the big guy: "In this meeting, we will continue as we did last time. If you have any opinions, please put them forward."

The generals of the Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army, Northeastern Army, Guangdong Army, Central Army and other generals just lowered their heads.

It was still very quiet inside the meeting!
In response, Yu Hua raised his hand!

Minister He saw that many generals did not speak, but a colonel from the Sichuan Army raised his hand.

Originally, according to the scale of the meeting, small fish and shrimps such as colonels, adjutants, and staff officers could not speak at such a meeting.

However, now the generals have lowered their heads, and no one wants to be the leader.

Therefore, Minister He had no choice but to signal Yu Hua, who was sitting at the edge, to speak.

He hoped that Yu Hua's opening would cause the generals to express their opinions.

Yu Hua stood up and instantly attracted the attention of many generals.

"Hello, sirs!"

"Let me express some opinions!"

"First of all, let me give you an example, that is during the Battle of Songhu."

"The combat units of our army are military commissions, theaters, corps, group armies, legions, corps, divisions, brigades, regiments..."

"Look at the combat units of the Japanese army: Japanese base camp, front army, division, brigade, and regiment!"

"Comparing the two, we can see that our military's combat units are cumbersome. When delivering military orders, they need to be forwarded layer by layer!"

"Once an important event occurs on the battlefield, a command organization like this is not conducive to quickly seizing the opportunity and making a decision."

As soon as Yu Hua opened his mouth, many generals nodded. Wang Yaowu of the 74st Division of the 51th Army put forward his own thoughts: "I think the command structure should be streamlined as soon as possible."

"The command system of the Military Commission, theater, group army, corps, division, regiment... is a good one!"

Wang Yaowu's proposal was quickly agreed by other generals.

However, once the command system is reformed, it will inevitably cause many senior officers to leave the front-line troops.

This is bound to affect the interests of some people! !

After this matter reached the ears of Principal Chang, he defied all opinions and resolutely carried out the reform of the command system.

Subsequently, Song Xilian of the 36th Division proposed that the Nationalist Government should equip the Mauser 98K rifle manufactured by the Sichuan Army as soon as possible.

This rifle is very accurate and can be equipped with a scope and silencer.

If the equipment is not complete at the moment, you can equip some medium-sized rifles first.

Minister He is actually gradually implementing this proposal.

"In view of the serious losses of our army's elite veterans during the early stages of the War of Resistance, the Military Commission recommended the reorganization of the national army."

"One-third of our army must be deployed behind enemy lines to carry out guerrilla warfare."

"How to conduct guerrilla warfare will be taught to us by the generals of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army."

"The principal has agreed to hold a guerrilla warfare cadre training class. It will be officially launched after the Hengshan Conference."

"One-third of the remaining troops will be deployed in the front to resist the Japanese army, and the last one-third will be transferred to the rear for training."

"Strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops and train elite soldiers as soon as possible."

"As for the replacement of weapons and equipment, the principal decided to form 20 attack divisions."

"This batch of troops will be specially equipped with Mauser 98K rifles made in Sichuan Province. In terms of machine guns, they will be M2 heavy machine guns and civilian 26-type general-purpose machine guns."

"In terms of artillery, the regiment-level is equipped with the Japanese Type 75 infantry artillery, and the division-affiliated artillery battalion is a -year-old Han-made mm mountain gun."

Having said this, Minister He paused again, "As for the military's artillery!"

"If the Soviet artillery is in place, all army groups and corps will be equipped with Soviet artillery and form an artillery regiment!"

After hearing about this training plan, the generals of the Central Army, Guangdong Army, Northeast Army, and Yunnan Army.

Everyone is very happy!
According to the last configuration of German weapon divisions, although the central army accounts for the majority, there are also certain quotas for local armies.

The topic of the subsequent meeting was to adjust the war zone.

全国划分10个战区，分别是第1、2、3、4、5、8、9、10战区，以及苏鲁战区和察冀战区。

Wei Lihuang, commander of the first theater, has a combat area covering all of Henan Province and part of Anhui Province;

It has 12 infantry divisions, 1 infantry brigade, 1 cavalry division, and 1 cavalry brigade!

Commander Yan Xishan of the Second War Zone, the combat area covers the entire Shanxi Province and part of Shaanxi Province;

It has 32 infantry divisions, 14 infantry brigades, 5 cavalry divisions and 3 cavalry brigades.

Gu Zhutong, commander of the third theater, has combat areas in southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, and Zhejiang and Fujian provinces;
Has 22 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry brigades;

Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth War Zone, operates in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces;
It has 18 infantry divisions and 2 infantry brigades.

Li Zongren, commander of the fifth theater, has combat areas in western Anhui, northern Hubei, and southern Henan;
It has 26 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry unit, and 1 cavalry brigade.

Zhu Shaoliang, commander of the Eighth War Zone, has a combat area of ​​Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai provinces, as well as parts of Suiyuan Province;
It has 6 infantry divisions, 9 infantry brigades, 4 cavalry brigades, and 4 cavalry divisions.

Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth War Zone, has combat areas in southern Hubei and the entire Hunan Province; he has 52 infantry divisions.

Jiang Dingwen, commander of the 10th War Zone, has a combat area in western Shaanxi Province.

It has 9 infantry divisions, 1 infantry brigades, 1 cavalry brigades, and 1 cavalry divisions.

Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sulu Theater, has a combat area of ​​​​Northern Jiangsu and the entire Shandong Province, with 7 infantry divisions.

Lu Zhonglin, commander of the Chaji Theater, has five infantry divisions and one cavalry division.

Among them, the Sulu War Zone and the Chaji War Zone are guerrilla areas behind enemy lines!
After the Hengshan Conference, the Military Commission made a series of adjustments and placed more emphasis on mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare.

He also pays attention to the spiritual culture of soldiers and believes that training also needs to be strengthened.

This was an adjustment made by the Military Commission after the Wuhan Battle. It focused on guerrilla warfare in the occupied areas, strengthened raids on the Japanese rear, and turned the occupied areas into front lines.

After the Hengshan Conference, all the generals began to leave Hengshan one after another, preparing to return to their bases.

However, at Yu Hua's suggestion, the Sichuan army stayed in Hengshan for a while.

Because he needs to do something!

In Hengshan, Yu Hua asked Deng Xihou to ask Pan Wenhua about the bristle reserves in Sichuan Province.

In the small courtyard, the generals of the Sichuan Army were still eating barbecue and chatting.

Yu Hua was also a cook, grilling skewers for the Sichuan army generals.

Deng Xihou's adjutant ran into the yard: "Commander-in-Chief, General Pan has called back."

Deng Xihou took the telegram handed over by the adjutant, glanced at it, and looked at Yu Hua with a smile.

"Brother Yu, have you already expected that the price of our bristles has skyrocketed around the world? Let us stock up early."

Yang Sen was impatient, "Brother Deng, what's going on?"

"Stop being so pretentious and tell us quickly."

"It's just...it's just..." Xianguang Junhe on the side agreed.

"Hahaha..." Deng Xihou smiled heartily: "After the Japanese army captured Guangzhou Port."

"The Japanese navy has blocked the ports along our country's coast. Now pig bristles cannot be transported out. The price of pig bristles has skyrocketed around the world."

"England, France, Germany, the United States and other countries all came to our country."

“They are in urgent need of a large amount of bristles, and I don’t know who revealed that Sichuan Province has a large reserve of bristles, so all these representatives came to Sichuan Province.”

"Liu Wenhui and Pan Wenhua are almost bored to death these days!"

"These foreigners are looking for them every day!"

"Some representatives even got into a fight because of this."

Speaking of this, Deng Xihou looked at everyone: "Principal Chang learned about this after holding the Hengshan meeting these days."

"I cursed so much in the office that my dentures almost fell out!"

Fan Shaozeng narrowed his eyes: "I didn't expect this bristles to be so valuable now?"

"These European and American countries are actually fighting in Sichuan Province!"

"In the past, we were the only ones begging them, but now they are begging us!"

"This is an eye-opener for me, Old Fan!"

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua: "Brother Yu, Lao Pan asked us what we should do about the pig bristles?"

"The National Government sent representatives to Sichuan Province to get a piece of the pie."

Yu Hua pondered for a moment: "Commander, give me one-third of the bristles you have hoarded this time. I will put them to great use."

"The remaining bristles will be divided 70-70 between us and the National Government. Remember we are 7-to-3 and they are 3-to-3."

"As for England, America, France, etc., needing bristles, let them consult among themselves;"

"After allocating it according to a proportion, come back to us."

"We only sell bristles and leave the decision to European and American representatives."

"Okay!" Deng Xihou nodded: "I will call Liu Wenhui and Pan Wenhua back according to your instructions."

"correct!"

"Your wife asked me to bring you a message. I was busy with the Hengshan Conference and I forgot about it."

"He said that the socks you want have been made, and now the factories in Sichuan Province can produce them at full capacity."

Hearing this, Yu Hua's eyes lit up, the socks were ready for production, and he could go harvest Europe and the United States. (End of chapter)
