"The most dangerous thing is Jizhong," Zhuang Jihua stared at the map and said slowly: "For this area, the army has shown that it is bound to win, investing 100,000 troops, and there are 50,000 on the periphery, and the main force is on the western front, their purpose is to force you to break through to the east and encircle and annihilate it on the periphery of the Taihang Mountains." ”

"To break the attempt of the Yue army, I have thought for a long time, there are two ways to break the siege of the Yue army, one is to retreat where the Yue army launched, give up Jizhong, and immediately retreat into Taihang Mountain, but this way, too cowardly, can not give the Yue army a blow, and it will be very difficult to return in the future; The other way is to first concentrate on the four long lines of the Yue army to choose one way to strike, and then quickly break away, with a force to attract the Yue army in the encirclement, the main force to break through to the north, in the periphery of Pingjin and Jin, a false shot, and then to the northwest, into the Taihang Mountains; In this battle, the main point is to be fast, and to fight slowly with fast. ”

"For southern Hebei, the tactics drawn up by the army have left a lot of room for maneuver, and they look powerful for a long time, but in fact they are probably just trying to drive you away, and I suggest that you stick to one unit, and the main force will jump to the Jinpu line or the Pinghan line to fight, and carry out a harassing attack on Shijiazhuang or Cangzhou."

"In Jiluyu, your strength is not strong, as far as I know, there are only about 5,000 people, and you are not able to compete with the Yue army at all, I suggest that you contact Commander Li Zongren of the First War Zone, Li Delin is not a stubborn person, the existence of the Jilu-Yu base area is very important to the First War Zone, and he can disturb the rear of the Yue army when necessary, so it is possible for him to join forces with you. If Li Delin joins forces with you, there are 80% possible surnames to break the encirclement and suppression of the army. ”

"If Li Delin is unwilling or unable to fully cooperate, at least you can retreat to the First War Zone when you can't hold on, as for the Fifth War Zone, if you can't go, you can't go, if you want to go, you can contact General Deng Xihou, and I will tell him how to do it."

Li Kenong did not judge whether Zhuang Jihua's tactics were correct, he knew his ability, and he might be able to do a long time in intelligence work, but in terms of specific operations, he could not be compared with a battle-hardened general like Zhuang Jihua, so he just memorized what Zhuang Jihua said, and judged his attitude from it, the result surprised him a little, the worry revealed in Zhuang Jihua's tone was very real, at least in his opinion, the battle plan he proposed was feasible, especially in contact with Li Zongren, this is a big idea, he can be sure, Headquarters did not think of this.

"Can the general dredge up with General Li Zongren?" Li Kenong hesitated and made a request, although they had contact with Li Zongren, they were still not sure whether Li Zongren would agree, take the risk to attack north of the Yellow River, and help the Eighth Route Army; If he did this, how would Chiang Kai-shek explain it?

However, Li Kenong also knew that this request was a bit excessive, so he was a little hesitant. Zhuang Jihua thought for a while but nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will send a telegram to Li Delin, detailing the important surnames of helping the Eighth Route Army of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, but the main work still depends on yourself." ”

"That's nature." Li Kenong nodded and said yes, Zhuang Jihua was already very face-saving if he could do this.

"After the business is over, let's talk about some digressions, I heard that Zhang Guotao has arrived in Wuhan and is about to announce his departure from GCD, is there such a thing?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

Li Kenong was stunned, in April this year, Zhang Gtao took advantage of the worship of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to break away from [***], ran to Xi'an, and secretly went south to Wuhan in July, Zhou EN came to intercept him in Wuhan and asked him to return to Yan'an or go abroad to recuperate, but these requests were all refused, it is obvious that Zhang Guotao has made up his mind to break away from [***], and the central government has sent instructions to remind local offices to do a good job of adapting, after all, Zhang Guotao was an important leader of [***] and had a great influence outside the party.

"Does General Zhuang still want to seek revenge on him?" Li Kenong smiled casually: "Well, there will be opportunities in the future, but now, I'm afraid your principal won't agree." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, understanding what Li Kenong meant, GCD would no longer care about Zhang Guotao, he had been positioned in the position of a traitor, but kindly reminded him that Zhang Guotao's defection would definitely make Chiang Kai-shek like a treasure, and it was not time to deal with him now.

Sending Li Kenong away and returning to the office, Gong Xiuhua laughed at Zhuang Jihua a few words, and then asked: "Do you really want to send a telegram to Li Zongren to persuade him to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to fight?" Will he say yes? ”

"You send this telegram immediately," Zhuang Jihua ignored Gong Xiuhua's ridicule, but wrote a letter and drafted a telegram, and Gong Xiuhua took it and looked at it: "To Li Anguo?" Is it appropriate for him to go? ”

Li Anguo was actually Wang Xiaoshan's deputy, after Wang Xiaoshan arrived in the attendant's room, Li Anguo did not withdraw to Yucheng according to Zhuang Jihua's order, but began to lay out behind enemy lines, not only to Shandong, Zhejiang, Beiping, Zhengzhou, but also to Yan'an, Jinchaji and other places, the task is very heavy.

"It can only be him." Zhuang Jihua sighed, this is a dangerous errand, and it must be done by someone who can be fully trusted.

Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards the GCD began to change, and some time ago he began to reprint the previously compiled manual for suppressing bandits, and it is believed that it will not be long before it will be distributed to all troops. It is for this reason that Zhuang Jihua strongly feels that he should help GCD tide over this difficulty.

"Well," Gong Xiuhua hesitated for a moment, but still didn't open his mouth to persuade him, but asked another question: "You really don't participate in the dispute in Yucheng?" Just let them slander? ”

"Of course not, I won't come forward directly, let Deng Xihou Yang Sen and them come forward, and in addition...., let Jiang Jingguo come forward." Zhuang Jihua showed a sneer: "Didn't you say that it shook the morale of the army?" I saw that after Deng Xihou and them came forward, these people were still shouting something. ”

Gong Xiuhua smiled knowingly, Zhuang Jihua's arrangement was excellent enough, so that the front generals and the prince came forward, but it was not comprehensive enough, she asked tentatively: "Do you want your cousin to also express some opinions?" ”

Zhuang Jihua looked up at her, with a playful smile on his face: "Embroidery, you can take charge of it alone, would you like to replace Zaitian as the captain of the Southwest Development Team?" ”

"you." Gong Xiuhua laughed and scolded a powder punch on him, but Zhuang Jihua was very serious, and Gong Xiuhua was stunned: "What, do you want to change Zaitian out?" Does he have any problems? ”

"I want him to be the director of the Political Department of the Southwest Pacification Office," the director of the Political Department of the Southwest Pacification Office has been vacant, the reason is that Zhuang Jihua controls two of the three southwestern provinces, and the Southwest Pacification Office has always been difficult to carry out its work, and it is basically an empty shelf, which is also a major reason why Chiang Kai-shek simply chose Zhuang Jihua to serve as the Southwest Pacification Office.

"After Jiang Jingguo came, it was already a little embarrassing to continue to work in Zaitian, and the next step is to develop Guizhou, I need Tian Zai to help me over there, I have been looking for someone to replace Zaitian, and now I have finally found it, it is you."

Gong Xiuhua was completely stunned, she thought about it and shook her head and said, "Don't do it, Cultural Revolution, I'm leaving, who will replace me?" ”

Zhuang Jihua was moved in his heart, he didn't find that Gong Xiuhua had this talent before, but just now she recommended Zhang Lan, he didn't expect this person, but after thinking about it, this is indeed a good hand, with Zhang Lan's popularity, he wants to say something, more powerful than Deng Xihou and Jiang Jingguo combined.

The reason why Gong Xiuhua is reluctant to leave is mainly for him, and she is taking care of the things that are not seen in private, if he leaves, who will he give it?

"I can get Yunfei to take your place." Zhuang Jihua thought for a while and said.

"Yunfei is more stable than Wu Ziniu, but he can't, if there is anyone around you who is GCD, my first choice is him." Gong Xiuhua said calmly.

The people around him actually refer to the henchmen brought out by Zhuang Jihua from Guangzhou, Wu Ziniu, Song Yunfei, Wang Xiaoshan and others, these people have always been Zhuang Jihua's most trusted people.

Gong Xiuhua didn't expect the words blurted out to make Zhuang Jihua silent, and after looking at it for a long time, she suddenly realized that after Wu Ziniu's suspicion was eliminated, Song Yunfei naturally appeared in his mind.

"You," Gong Xiuhua couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Suspicious." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly in his heart, maybe he was suspicious, watching TV in his previous life, the old-timers could always plant mines in the core department of the other party, and they exploded at a critical time, I don't know if I was really misled by these, maybe I didn't have GCD spies around me, but I was just blind. Song Yunfei has never been able to access intelligence, and he doesn't even know that there is such information. Gong Xiuhua said that the reason why he was suspicious is also here.

"Forget it, let's take our time and see who else will pop up." Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "If you don't want to, I won't force it, so continue to stay here and supervise me." ”

Gong Xiuhua smiled, this actually named the relationship between them, and one of the factors she left behind was to protect Zhuang Jihua; The other factor is to supervise him and avoid mistakes, now he is not just himself, he has a large group of followers behind him, he is going to fall, and these followers are also going to be unlucky.

"I think it's more appropriate to expand the relationship." Gong Xiuhua reminded him that after Zeng Kuoqing and Xiao Zanyu were assigned over, Zhuang Jihua treated them differently, Zeng Kuoqing was sent to Yunnan to preside over the development of the Three Youth League, but Xiao Zanyu was sent to Panzhihua to take over Li Anding's work, and Li Anding was fully engaged in western Yunnan.

Gong Xiuhua now mentions Zeng Kuoqing, which is to remind Zhuang Jihua that Zeng Kuoqing and Xiao Zanyu have been refrigerated long enough and can be used now.

Zhuang Jihua patted his head and admitted that he had ignored these two old classmates, Gong Xiuhua was really a good chief of staff, and he immediately said: "Immediately let Zeng Kuoqing rush to Chengdu as quickly as possible, and let the serious teacher also rush to Chengdu as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he added: "Tomorrow the provincial political axe work conference will be held to discuss the economic development plan, and Mr. Ma Yinchu must attend." ”
