Less than three days after the results of the trial of the "Liao case" were announced, President Chiang, who had won this political and military-political game, once again used his extraordinary means to divide the leaderless and restless Cantonese Army into two armies -- the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army -- by attacking, squeezing out, co-opting, and luring. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the full support of Wang Jingwei, President Chiang, in the name of the Military Committee, appointed Li Jishen, the former commander of the First Division of the Guangdong Army and vice president of the Whampoa Military Academy, who had been squeezed out by the top echelons of the Guangdong Army but always adhered to the revolutionary stance, as the commander of the Fourth Army, and appointed Li Fulin, the commander of the bandit suppression and the chief of the garrison department, as the commander of the Fifth Army.

Most of the remaining 10,000 Cantonese officers and soldiers were dismissed after a severe political review, and the more than 5,000 veterans selected were quickly dispersed and incorporated into the three divisions of the First Army under the command of President Chiang.

Since then, the Cantonese army, which had dominated Guangdong for more than ten years, has fallen apart, and the biggest hidden danger in the new revolutionary regime in the south led by Wang Jingwei and President Chiang has been eliminated, and the political status and military power of Wang and Chiang have risen unprecedentedly.

In order to eliminate the bad influence brought about by the "Liao case" and the endless internal contradictions, the Nationalist Government quickly issued the Second Eastern Crusade Order, appointing President Jiang as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, with the First Army and the Fourth Army as the backbone, the First Army as the first column, and He Yingqin as the column leader, leading 15,000 officers and soldiers of the First Army to serve as the main attack on the middle road, and adopting the method of breaking through the central government to directly attack Huizhou, Chen Jiongming's base; The second column, with Li Jichen as the column leader, led 12,000 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army as the right flank to attack Tamsui; The third column, with Cheng Qian, a famous general of the Hunan army, as the captain of the column, led about 6,000 people from each of the Henan army, the Jiangxi army, and the Hunan army to attack Boluo on the left flank, and fought side by side with the first column.

The promulgation of the Eastern Crusade Decree quickly integrated the main forces in the revolutionary camp and included all the guest troops from other provinces who were wavering on the sidelines.

On the morning of 28 September, the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission held a grand swearing-in ceremony for the Eastern Expedition in Guangzhou, at which all the armies of the Eastern Expedition sent a main force to take the oath, and hundreds of thousands of Guangzhou citizens enthusiastically participated, hoping that the revolutionary army would eliminate the rebel army in eastern Guangdong as soon as possible, unify Guangdong, and bring about a new life of peace and stability.

In the midst of earth-shattering slogans and cheers, Wang Jingwei and President Jiang took turns to climb the Dianjiangtai where colorful flags were displayed and military flags were flying, and hundreds of generals and military and political dignitaries of various military academies and military and political dignitaries were clustered around, and Zheng Yi, the lieutenant colonel section chief of the Quartermaster Department, who had not been able to participate in the Second Eastern Crusade, stood behind the Dianjiangtai and nodded frequently in the earnest advice of his boss Yu Feipeng.

Yu Feipeng, who finished explaining the task left behind, took off his big cap, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, glanced at Wang Jingwei, who had a loud voice and an impassioned expression on the high platform, thought about it and turned to Zheng Yi again, and admonished:

"Nearly half of the 200 recruits sent to you are carefully selected by me from the 3,000 recruits, and most of the rest are entrusted to me by my colleagues in the army, you have to bring it to me, the training intensity is appropriately reduced, and there must be no casualties, and after the end of the Eastern Crusade, more than 40 of them will enter the fourth phase of the military academy for further study."

Zheng Yi nodded knowingly: "Those people in the circle on the list have been organized into a platoon, and they only carry out basic military basic training, mainly to participate in warehouse management, at most they take turns to stand guard on duty, and they will not train them like other guard platoons." ”

Yu Feipeng was very satisfied with Zheng Yi's disposal: "This arrangement is very good, I am relieved." ”

Zheng Yi took the opportunity to ask: "Can the application report for radio operator training submitted by the little nephew at the beginning of the month be approved?" ”

Yu Feipeng sighed: "There were only two teachers in the first telecommunications training course organized by the National Government, and the fifteen trainee places had already been divided up by Chairman Wang and various departments of the Military Commission, and even our Whampoa Army did not benefit, let alone your small ordnance department......

"Be patient, the military academy has worked out a training plan, starting from the fourth phase to add a telecommunications department, and then I will give you a few graduates to solve the problem."

"Then it will be the Year of the Monkey!"

Zheng Yi complained bitterly, thought about it and asked boldly: "Uncle Shi, if I find a way to train a few people by myself, can you approve it?" ”

Yu Feipeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that Zheng Yi and foreign banks in Europe and the United States were familiar with: "It stands to reason that it is not allowed...... What are you going to do? ”

Zheng Yi looked around, and the generals around him were either talking to each other, or looking at Principal Jiang who was starting to speak on the stage with a smile, so he quietly approached Yu Feipeng and said in a low voice:

"It can't be done in Guangzhou, first, it is too conspicuous, and second, those foreigners in the Shamian Concession are unwilling to wade into this troubled water, so they can only select a few people to send to the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company to study...... Hong Kong Telecom is run by the British, and there are two apprenticeship training courses every year, and I guess Swire will give me this face. ”

Yu Feipeng thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I'm afraid not, there is no precedent to follow!" Let's wait, don't worry, there will always be a way to solve it. ”

Zheng Yi was extremely disappointed in his heart, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face: "Okay, then there is the issue of radio station procurement, the new radio station of Siemens in Germany came out at the beginning of the year, and it is much better than the old-fashioned radio produced by Bell Company in the United States in all aspects, and the matching hand-cranked generator alone is half as light as the Yankee's, Uncle Shi may wish to consider it." ”

"Can you buy Siemens Radio?"

Yu Feipeng was stunned, he had long known that the signal sensitivity and communication distance of the German Siemens radio station far exceeded the radio produced by the Bell Company and the Edison Company in the United States, but now foreign banks in various countries have refused to cooperate with the national government, and no one has the way to buy it.

Zheng Yi reminded: "Do you remember the batch of medicines you asked me to buy before the last Eastern Crusade? It was quietly sold to us by the German Lu Phosphorus Foreign Company, and I begged them again, and it is estimated that there is no problem, at most the price is a little higher. ”

Yu Feipeng was overjoyed, grabbed Zheng Yi's hand and whispered: "Later, you will go back to the city with me to attend the banquet, and after I ask the principal, you will immediately contact the Germans, and the sooner this matter is done, the better!" ”

"Understood!"

Zheng Yi happily agreed.

……

……

In the evening, Zheng Yi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, rushed back to the small courtyard of the ordnance department with the guard Duan Xuanxing, and when he entered the courtyard, he ordered Li Lianshan, the squad leader on duty, to blow the whistle and assemble, and returned to the dormitory with Duan Xuan to change into military uniforms, and came to the playground, where he announced loudly to the two hundred and forty-two new and old brothers who were lined up: "Brothers, I now announce the latest series of appointments issued by the Quartermaster Department. ”

The new and old brothers in the five platoons were full of doubts, and no one knew what Zheng Yi's sudden announcement of the series of appointments meant, and what it had to do with him.

Zheng Yi took the document handed over by Duan Xuan and announced loudly: "In the past year of hard training and study, Han Shouren, Li Lianshan, Wang Huchen, Duan Xuan, Zhao Jiayao, Li Feng, Zhang Zhishan, Zhang Yao and other fifteen outstanding soldiers have been commended by the Quartermaster Department of the General Headquarters. Han Shouren ......"

Han Shouren and the other fifteen brothers were beating wildly, their faces were flushed, and they came out of the queue one after another under the extremely envious gaze of more than 200 brothers, and when they came to the front line in front of Zheng Yi, many brothers were still trembling their legs, only Duan Xuan, who was nervous, raised his head high.

"Brethren, let us congratulate the outstanding soldiers who have been promoted with warm applause!"

As Zheng Yi's loud voice sounded, more than 200 new and old soldiers applauded warmly and cheered loudly, Zheng Yi came to stand in front of Han Shouren, who was standing in the first place, and bowed to Han Shouren, who was excited to return the salute with tears in his eyes, and sent him the letter of appointment of the platoon commander of the garrison company of the quartermaster department.

The excitement continued, and Zheng Yi handed out the fifteen letters of appointment and announced that he was allowed to drink alcohol tonight, which once again aroused warm applause and cheers from all the brothers.

In the blink of an eye, the old brothers who became the chief and deputy platoon commanders and the quartermaster officers were agitated one by one, and after Zheng Yi left the playground and returned to the office, they still stood in place stupidly holding the letter of appointment, looking at the tall back that entered the office with gratitude.

Late at night, fifteen old brothers who had drunk a lot of wine gathered in Zheng Yi's office, and unexpectedly found that Chen Lizhi and Cao Mancheng, who had been in charge of warehousing statistics for half a year, were also there, and they were happily putting a cup of hot tea in front of everyone.

Zheng Yi, who was poured at least a pound of wine by the brothers, smiled rarely, and when he saw the doubts in the eyes of the brothers, he explained with a smile:

"Don't look at Chen Lizhi and Cao Mancheng, who are not inconspicuous and gentle, and are not as good as you in military training and military skills, but they are far superior to you in terms of cultural learning and ordnance maintenance, and Zhang Yao, who can be literate and martial, and is as meticulous as a hair, only the three of them have never made a mistake for more than a year, so I decided to send them to Hong Kong to learn radio transceiver and maintenance technology, and after half a year, they will return from their studies, and I am afraid that their military rank and position will surpass you."

The brothers were shocked when they heard this, and the clever Wang Huchen took the lead in standing up to congratulate Chen Lizhi and the others, and the other brothers also stood up and celebrated, and the laughter in the office was very harmonious.

Duan Xuan, who has always followed Zheng Yi and is well-informed, said with a smile: "Zhang Yao, don't be complacent, you kid, if I don't want to leave my eldest brother, where will I get the three places in Hong Kong this time?" You'll have to bring me some gifts to compensate for it. ”

Zhang Yao, who had an honest temperament, stood up happily: "That's, that's!" I will never forget Brother Duan's affection. ”

The brothers laughed amused, Zheng Yi smiled and signaled everyone to be quiet, took out a stack of manuscripts from the drawer, and handed it to Duan Xuan to send down: "The Eastern Expedition has nothing to do with us, and most of the weapons and equipment in the warehouse have also been taken away, and we will be much easier in the future......"

"Report, there are 84,000 rounds of Mogan rifle ammunition in the No. 4 warehouse, there are 1,375 Yuannian-style rifles and 40,000 rounds of ammunition eliminated by the first division in the No. 11 warehouse, and there are more than 60,000 rounds of three types of ammunition in the No. 12 warehouse." Cao Mancheng, who was conscientious and loyal to his duties, reported loudly, fearing that others would forget after he left.

Duan Xuan was so angry that he picked up a peanut and threw it on Cao Mancheng's head: "What are you talking about, big brother?" Can you endure it? Do you think that if you are gone, we will not be able to eat pork? ”

The brothers burst into laughter, and Zheng Yi was also happy: "Lao Cao, you don't have to worry, get ready to go out to study, the remaining things in the warehouse are accounted for, and anyone who takes over can't make a mistake." ”

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, a few of you platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders will take a look at the training plan just issued, due to the arrival of two hundred new brothers, we divided the whole company into five platoons, and forty-six old brothers basically became squad leaders, but the fifth platoon composed of weak scholars is not included in the training plan."

"This platoon situation is a bit special, I plan to let the fifth platoon take over all warehouse management and statistics business from tomorrow, and I will also be their platoon leader...... Li Feng, you will serve as the deputy platoon commander, and the remaining four platoons will all move closer to the combat units, and even walk in front of all the combat units. ”

"You eight platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders must hurry up, the new training and cultural study plan has now been sent to you, let's take a look first, and ask if you don't understand."

Han Shouren and the other eight were excited, and under the envious gaze of the other brothers, they proudly opened the newly issued training plan and read it carefully.
