However, the relationship between the two was not good, Huang Wei found that the quality of the military food supply was too poor, either moldy or mixed with sand, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, Huang Wei added two or two rations to each soldier, and also reported the corruption problem at the bottom to the top, Huang Wei's move was tantamount to harming the interests of Guan Linzheng, Guan Linzheng was a member of He Yingqin's faction, so he and He Yingqin falsely accused Huang Wei of corruption, Chiang Kai-shek knew Huang Wei's character, so he did not accuse him, but transferred him back to Chongqing as a lieutenant general.
After the failure of the first operation into Burma, Huang Wei was ordered to inspect the troops of his old classmate Du Yuming.
