At four o'clock in the afternoon, a special train loaded with weapons and ammunition slowly started with the sound of a long whistle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zheng Yi took a stack of internal bulletins and Hunan provincial newspapers from the military representative stationed at the station, saluted the military salute, turned around and jumped into the carriage, sat on the straw mat specially reserved by the brothers, took out a pack of cigarettes for the brothers to share, and began to read the outdated military intelligence report, until the evening when he turned his sore neck and raised his head.

"This piece is for you, Secretary Elder Meng made it himself, with chives and minced meat, as well as your favorite chili peppers." After Cao Mancheng finished speaking, he handed over the kettle.

Zheng Yi was already so hungry that he took it and ate a pancake in three times and two times, and praised it with satisfaction: "Lao Meng's skills have grown, and the marching dry food can make the taste of imperial food, good ability!"

The brothers laughed and joked, and for a while there was a lot of scolding, laughter, which made Teng Yichun and other newly joined brothers in the carriage envious.

After enough trouble, the first company commander Li Lianshan asked Zheng Yi to tell everyone about the latest military situation, Zheng Yi was not ambiguous, grabbed the straw and wiped off the grease stains on his hands, drank a few sips of herbal tea and began to tell:

"Changsha was taken by the Seventh and Eighth Armies of our friendly army the day before yesterday, and at present, the Zhong Zupei Brigade of the Seventh Army and Li Pinxian Division of the Eighth Army are guarding Changsha, and the main forces of the rest of the divisions have attacked the south bank of the Miluo River."

"On our right flank, the Fourth Army has occupied Liling, a strategic point in eastern Hunan Province, and the Second Army of General Tan Yanmin who followed to defend Sun Chuanfang's troops in Jiangxi Province, of which a division of the Fourth Army and Ye Ting's independent regiment began to clear the enemy forces on the line from Liling to Zhuzhou, and will soon be connected with the three brigades of the Seventh Army in the middle road, and the next step will be to attack Pingjiang and Liuyang."

"According to the latest news, Marshal Wu Peifu reacted quickly, mobilizing five divisions of reinforcements to fly south, and a tragic battle will come soon."

The brothers were once again hotly discussed, some were eager to fight on the battlefield and establish meritorious deeds, some wanted to stay in the rear and not take risks, and more people thought about what it would be like for the headquarters to arrive in Changsha.

Cao Mancheng looked at Zheng Yi, whose eyebrows were furrowed as if he was contemplative: "Boss, what are you thinking?" ”

Zheng Yi pointed to the villages and hills that kept passing by outside the car door: "You see, the drought situation in Hunan Province is very serious, the fields are cracked, the grass and trees are dry, and the people are having a hard time!" At present, most of Hunan Province is constantly in war, and the troops from the north and south are no less than 300,000. ”

"The headquarters should know the situation in Hunan Province and it is estimated that there are countermeasures."

Cao Mancheng said this, and his heart began to worry, he was born and raised in the countryside, and he knew better than anyone how terrible the famine year was.

Zheng Yi shook his head slightly: "I hope that if the headquarters has a countermeasure, it will be clear when we arrive in Changsha." ”

Cao Mancheng knew that when his headquarters arrived in Changsha, he would hang up the signboard of "Changsha Military Station of the National Revolutionary Army," and in addition to being responsible for the weapons and ammunition reserves and supplies of the three armies, he would also have to store food for the two divisions of the First Army and the general headquarters of the 30,000 officers and men who came later.

If the headquarters did not make preparations in advance, and the military and political departments of Hunan Province were unwilling to help, the problem would have been great.

Today's Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway has not yet been opened to traffic, and the more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads from Shaoguan to Chenzhou are all transported by automobiles.

Thinking of this, Cao Mancheng realized how heavy the burden was on Zheng Yi's shoulders, but he couldn't help if he wanted to, so he had to sigh faintly, glanced at the brothers in the carriage who were gradually quieting down, and thought about it and asked Zheng Yi in a low voice: "Boss, how long will it take to get to Hengyang?" ”

Zheng Yi took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: "This broken car is like a turtle crawling, less than 30 kilometers per hour, it has been almost three hours since leaving Chenzhou, and it is estimated that it will take two and a half hours to reach Hengyang." ”

"Hengyang is one hundred and eighty kilometers away from Changsha, and you have to stop on the road to add water and coal, at least you can reach Changsha at dawn, don't worry, if you are tired, you can sleep well."

When the fully loaded special train was like a heavy old cow, panting and slowly moving forward, when it arrived at the small county town twenty kilometers southeast of Hengyang, the train gradually slowed down, the driver sounded the piercing whistle, and Zheng Yi, who was asleep, was awakened.

Due to the hot weather, the door of the last stuffy tank car where Zheng Yi was located was opened.

Zheng Yi, who woke up, stood up and wanted to see where he was now, who knew that the train accelerated again in the long whistle, and Zheng Yi, who was shaking his back and legs numb and unprepared, sat on the board one by one, and then there were bursts of gunfire and grenade explosions, and the flying bullets "crackled" on the carriage, which frightened the brothers in the carriage to get up in horror.

Zheng Yi opened his throat and shouted "lie down", flew to Cao Mancheng, who was about to poke his head out to watch, and just dragged the frightened Cao Mancheng in, a grenade exploded at the door of the carriage, which shook Zheng Yi's ears.

The flying shrapnel and gravel knocked the carriage loudly, but fortunately, the train had already picked up its speed and successfully broke out of the ambush circle and went straight to Hengyang in the north.

Zheng Yi and his brothers finally came back to their senses, and a series of violent explosions came from the rear again, Zheng Yi quickly climbed to the side of the car door and looked back, and saw the shadow of the iron bridge through the frequent flashing explosion fire, and immediately realized that when the train was attacked just now, he just passed through the iron bridge, and his legs trembled in fear, and a cold sweat broke out on his back and chest instantly.

Zheng Yi leaned against the car door and gasped, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, all sit down for Lao Tzu, are there any injured?" Everyone checked for themselves to see if there were any injured ......"

"It's good if you don't have it, brothers, don't be afraid, let alone mess around, the train has entered a safe area, and it will soon arrive at Hengyang, where the military headquarters of the Seventh Army is located, and it will be completely safe when you arrive in Hengyang."

The brothers were much more relieved to hear Zheng Yi's words, and after each of them finished checking, they sat down honestly, and no one dared to make a sound anymore.

Cao Mancheng was ashamed, and crawled to Zheng Yi's side and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you, boss, if you hadn't dragged me back, maybe I'd be finished." ”

"What nonsense? Everyone is inexperienced, and I didn't remind everyone before, I was careless, alas, ......" Zheng Yi was also ashamed in his heart.

Half an hour later, the special train entered the heavily guarded Hengyang Station.

Zheng Yi jumped out of the carriage without waiting for the train to stop completely, and commanded Li Lianshan's company to quickly rush to each carriage to keep strict guard, and Cao Mancheng and Chen Lizhi led the brothers in the communication platoon to ask if the brothers escorting the carriage in each carriage were injured.

When Zheng Yi inspected the third carriage, he saw a team of officers and soldiers with loaded guns walking in front of the brightly lit platform, and thought that the representative of the garrison army had come to contact, so he quickly sorted out the military appearance and strode up to meet it.

The oncoming group of soldiers stopped five meters in front of Zheng Yi, and two heavily armed soldiers crossed the short officer in front of them and came to Zheng Yi to raise their hands and salute, one of them announced loudly in official words: "I, Lin Cixi, Chief of Staff of the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army, may I ask if you are the colonel of Changsha Military Station and the supervisor of Zheng Yi?" ”

Zheng Yi immediately returned the salute: "Hello Chief Lin! It is Zheng Yi below, what is Chief Lin's instructions? ”

Lin Cixi grinned: "Our army commander Li heard that the special train was ambushed by the enemy at the big iron bridge in the southern section of Hengnan, and he was so frightened that the military meeting was not held, so he immediately called the 39th Regiment of the Eighth Army stationed in Hengnan, and was relieved to learn that there was no danger. ”

Zheng Yi was taken aback, and walked quickly to Li Zongren and saluted: "Zheng Yi of the Military Station Command Department greets the general!" Thank you to the general and the brothers of the Seventh Army for their care! ”

Li Zongren returned the salute and came up enthusiastically to hold Zheng Yi's hand: "It's good to come, it's good to come!" None of the brothers under his command were injured, were they? ”

When Zheng Yi heard Li Zongren open his mouth and asked if his brothers were injured, he immediately had a good impression: "Thank you to the general, I have sent someone to inspect carefully, and it is estimated that there is no big problem, otherwise someone would have shouted and screamed." ”

Li Zongren laughed: "No wonder Jiansheng praised you in his letter, I have worked with him for many years, and I have never seen him praise a person, Brother Zheng is really extraordinary." ”

Zheng Yi immediately understood, pointed to the carriage next to him and said with a smile: "Of the nine fully loaded carriages, one-third of the supplies are allocated to the general's Seventh Army, if it is urgent, I will immediately call the headquarters and request to unload the goods in Hengyang." ”

Li Zongren smiled happily: "Don't worry, you and your brothers are also hungry after running around for days, let's have a supper together, anyway, you can't leave tonight, the enemy's small force not only attacked the Hengnan Iron Bridge, but also blew up two sections of the railway in Gujiawan, forty kilometers to the north, it will take at least two days to repair, it's useless to hurry, haha!" ”

Zheng Yi was dumbfounded, thought about it and grinned: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, and go to the next to arrange the guard first." ”

"Where do you have to work hard when you get here? Hengyang Station was originally a key defense area of our army, so let's transfer another battalion from my guard regiment to strengthen protection, and there will definitely be no problems. Li Zongren was enthusiastic to help.

Zheng Yi thought about it for a while: "Okay, thank you, General!" Go down and come. ”

Half an hour later, Zheng Yi and Cao Mancheng came to the headquarters of the Seventh Army in the city, and after a long time of humility, they sat down at the banquet and toasted with Li Zongren and several generals of the Seventh Army.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Zongren took the initiative to introduce the battle situation on the front line, and said a sentence that surprised Zheng Yi: "We can't touch the Yueyang direction, and we plan to concentrate our forces to break through the defense line on the north bank of Miluo guarded by six divisions of the enemy, and together with the two divisions of the Fourth Army, we will flank Pingjiang, and then take Xianning in one go!" ”

"But in this way, the logistical pressure has increased exponentially, and my brother also knows that we are a guest army, and every step is very difficult!"

Zheng Yi nodded frequently, and glanced at the table full of generals and colonels who were looking at him with a smile: "General, I found that Brother Guijun not only has a different military uniform system than other armies, but also uses a lot of weapons......

"When I was at the station, I saw that the garrison was holding a Belgian 7.92mm imitation Mauser rifle, a German Mauser C96 pistol and a Browning 1920 pistol, and after entering the headquarters camp, I saw the Nissan 38 rifle, the French Hatch Chase 1922 8mm light machine gun and the Maxim 7.92mm heavy machine gun, plus the general's guard regiment was equipped with a 9mm caliber Bergman hand-held machine gun, that is, a flower machine gun, and there were as many as six kinds of ammunition specifications alone, and the logistical pressure was indeed very great!"

"The bullets I brought this time are only 7.92mm general-purpose pointed bullets and 7.63mm Mauser pistol bullets, and the shells are all seven-five-gun general-purpose shells, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the combat needs of the brothers of the Seventh Army!"

The general was stunned, he didn't expect Zheng Yi's eyes to be so poisonous, and after thinking about it carefully, what Zheng Yi said was indeed reasonable, Chief of Staff Lin Cixi and Quartermaster nodded frequently, with a wry smile on their faces.

Li Zongren also had a headache, and sighed to ask Zheng Yi's opinion: "In my brother's opinion, how should our army be improved?" ”

Zheng Yi was contemptuous in his heart, but he also knew that the main drama was coming, so he thought about it for a moment and suggested cautiously: "You can only gradually eliminate and gradually unify, otherwise it will affect the combat effectiveness ......."

"This time, I brought 10,000 Soviet-made Mogan rifles and one million rounds of ammunition, but this is a 7.62mm caliber, if it is allocated to the brothers of the Seventh Army, there is another bullet that needs to be purchased, to put it mildly, once it falls out with Soviet Russia, this batch of weapons is basically useless, unless the production line of 7.62mm bullets with bottom edge is purchased from Europe and the United States."

"In this way, the general might as well call General Jiansheng and ask him to help him think of a way, before I leave Guangzhou, the General Headquarters has drawn up the next batch of weapons and equipment procurement plans, and they are all German-style equipment."

Li Zongren immediately understood, and picked up his wine glass to thank Zheng Yi: "Thank you brother for your advice, it's very timely!" Come, a glass to my brother. ”

"Don't dare to be, no merit will be punished! In the future, please take care of the general and all the brothers here, if there is any seizure that is not used, it is okay to resell it to the younger brother or use it to replace other things, the younger brother eats this bowl of rice, haha! I'm sorry, general, please feel free to do it first! ”

Zheng Yi raised his glass and touched Li Zongren, and immediately drank it all, in exchange for a full applause.

Li Zongren was so happy that he quietly asked with the pleasure of drinking: "Do you want to be a prisoner?" ”

Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed again: "Haha! Your Seventh Army is the same as the Fourth Army, it is estimated that catching prisoners is the same as catching foreigners, the language is not comprehensible, there is no way to absorb it, and it is a waste of food to keep it, just like holding a hot sweet potato, right? ”

Li Zongren and the generals laughed, and Zheng Yi also laughed, but Cao Mancheng was confused.
