In late December, the main forces of the Second Eastern Crusade returned one after another. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The Chen Ming Division of the Left-behind Guangdong Army, Zhu Peide's Headquarters of the Dian Army, and Yu Zuobai's Column of the Gui Army also won a decisive victory in the Western Guangdong Campaign, and all departments of the Nationalist Government vigorously publicized the Second National Congress of the < Kuomintang > Kuomintang, which was being prepared, and the entire city of Guangzhou was enveloped in a stable, peaceful, and vigorous atmosphere.
The 1st Regiment and the 1st Regiment of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Huangpu Army also returned to the Dongjiao Field outside the East Gate of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, along with more than 400 lightly wounded soldiers who had been centrally maintained by the whole division, as well as five large truckloads of miscellaneous weapons and ammunition that had been seized.
After Zheng Yi received the five major carts of miscellaneous weapons ordered by the 1st Division, he immediately went to the headquarters of the 1st Division to visit his colleagues in the Eastern Expedition, and learned that the remaining supplementary regiment was about to leave for eastern Guangdong, and together with the two regiments under He Yingqin, who had been transferred to the Chaomei Appeasement Commission, the commander of the Chaomei Garrison District, and the principal of the Chaomei branch of the Whampoa Military Academy, they took on the important task of guarding Chaozhou, Shantou, Meizhou, and other eastern Guangdong regions.
During the conversation, Liu Zhi, commander of the 1st regiment, and Shen Yingshi, commander of the 2nd regiment, revealed to Zheng Yi that the whole army will be expanded again, and then inherit the will of Mr. Zhongshan and swing the Northern Expedition, Feng Yifei, chief of staff of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, will be promoted to commander of the new 14th Division, Qian Dajun, head of the 3rd Regiment, a colleague of the former Military Academy's Coaching Department, will be promoted to commander of the 20th Division, and the 1st Division will be expanded by three regiments on the existing basis.
The two colleagues regretted that Zheng Yi did not join the 1st Division to join the Eastern Expedition, and told Zheng Yi to seize the upcoming expansion opportunity and come to the 1st Division to lead the troops.
Zheng Yi put all the matter on Yu Feipeng, Liu Zhi and Shen Yingshi were depressed, they both knew Zheng Yi's ability, and thought that Zheng Yi's stay in the quartermaster department was really a waste of opportunity and wasted time.
After Zheng Yi returned to his own territory, he immediately convened a meeting of squad and platoon leaders, and ordered Duan Xuan, Han Shouren and other seven people to stop training from now on, make every effort to review cultural classes, and prepare to participate in the third batch of student enrollment examinations in the fourth phase of Huangpu on January 5.
As soon as Zheng Yi, who was in a straight military uniform, walked out of the courtyard gate, Director Zhou of the Military Department suddenly visited, Zheng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted solemnly.
Director Zhou returned the salute with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook Zheng Yi tightly: "Are you going out?" β
Zheng Yi patted the briefcase on his waist: "I was planning to send the materials for some cadets to apply for the military academy to the headquarters...... It doesn't matter, in fact, it's okay to send it tomorrow, there are still ten days before the exam, it's too late, haha! I didn't expect the director to come, just a few days after I came back, right? β
"I've been back for four days, and I have endless meetings every day, and today I'm here to visit the wounded and sick of the First Division, and by the way, I want to ask you for a favor." Director Zhou replied politely.
Zheng Yi immediately turned sideways: "As long as I can do it, there is no problem, go to the office and have a cup of tea and talk slowly." β
"You have a nice environment here, the sun is warm, how about a walk together?" Director Zhou suggested.
Zheng Yi readily agreed, and instructed the newly promoted guard Xiao Du to greet Director Zhou's adjutant, and he and Director Zhou entered the courtyard side by side and walked onto the clean and flat playground.
Director Zhou took a few steps out and whispered: "Yesterday, Mr. Peng said to me that I met you at the Agricultural Lecture Institute more than half a month ago, and I had a good impression of you, and I really wanted to have an in-depth conversation with you, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet you. β
Zheng Yi thought for a moment, nodded and replied with a smile: "Mr. Peng made a deep impression on me, before we met, I thought he was a middle-aged man over thirty-five years old, but I didn't expect him to be so young, dignified, handsome, and very enthusiastic in dealing with people, but the clothes on his body are too old, too old-fashioned, not worthy of him, I almost dare not recognize him." β
Director Zhou laughed: "He is such a person, hearty and simple, uninhibited, this time I came to you for help at his request...... I don't know where he heard that your arsenal has a batch of Yuannian-style rifles that have been eliminated in the army, so he specially applied to the Central Party Department of the > Kuomintang of <, but he doesn't know how many there are, and he is still there. β
Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still there, the total inventory of Yuannian-style rifles is 1,375 pieces, and there are 40,000 rounds of matching bullets, this Yuannian-style guns and ammunition are easy to get, and the Shijing Arsenal is still producing." It is not necessary to approve the document of the Central Party Department, the procedures are too troublesome, you can directly approve a note with our Chief Yu, I will handle the procedures of the audit department, and if the section chief Zhou Junruo called me in the morning, I asked him to sign and stamp a seal. β
Director Zhou was very happy: "Great, I'll go to you Chief Yu when I go back, I have a good relationship with him, everyone has been in the same headquarters for more than two months in the Eastern Expedition, it can be said that they get along day and night, and they talk very happily!" β
The two walked side by side to the basketball hoop inside, walked back while talking, and after talking about the upcoming expansion, Director Zhou asked Zheng Yi curiously:
"During this Eastern Crusade, General He Jingzhi and your Chief Yu talked about you many times, and later General Wang Boling also mentioned the three military textbooks you translated, all of which thought that you were a rare military talent, and should not stay in the logistics department, but should go to the main force to lead the troops, but your Chief Yu never let go, I don't know what you think?"
Zheng Yi replied unreservedly: "Fighting on the battlefield is the ideal of every soldier, and I am the same, but I am also good in the quartermaster logistics department at present, I have learned a lot of things, and there are still many things to learn......
"Modern warfare is becoming more and more cruel, the consumption of weapons and equipment and food and materials is getting bigger and bigger, military logistics is becoming more and more important, soldiers need to be guaranteed three meals a day, clothing, shoes and hats, and they need to replenish ammunition in time when they start a war, and they need to save lives and help the wounded.
Director Zhou nodded frequently, and had a further understanding of Zheng Yi's calmness and comprehensiveness.
Zheng Yi stopped at this time, and suggested with a slight hesitation: "The GD province has been pacified, and after Li Zongren, Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi of GX defeated the Gui warlords and unified GX, they also joined the national government. β
"I am afraid that the main task of the Nationalist Government in the next step is to expand the army, and once the armies have completed the expansion, they will raise troops to expand the achievements of the revolution in the Northern Expedition, and the < Kuomintang > Kuomintang will surely grow rapidly in the Northern Expedition. Personally, I believe that the Communist Party should also have its own army. β
"If you can, select a group of talents as soon as possible to enter the fourth phase of Huangpu for further study, after this village, I'm afraid there will be no more this shop, alas!"
Director Zhou's thick eyebrows jumped slightly: "Are you still so pessimistic?" β
Zheng Yi nodded: "Since the death of Mr. Zhongshan, Lin Sen, Xie Zhi, Dai Chuanxian, Zou Lu and a large number of < Kuomintang > rightists have been staying in BJ for three days and gathered at Biyun Temple in Xishan to make ******** remarks. β
"In contrast, whether the upcoming Second National Congress of the < > Kuomintang will continue to adhere to Mr. Zhongshan's established policy of 'uniting with Russia and the Communist Party and assisting the workers and peasants' is not so important; once the various factions of the <Kuomintang > the Kuomintang reach a reconciliation for their own interests, and once the Northern Expedition achieves phased results, the Communist Party will inevitably become the target of their exclusion and attack, and we must be on guard!"
Director Zhou nodded slightly and walked forward, Zheng Yi walked slowly and followed, and when he arrived at the gate of the hospital, Director Zhou stopped, patted Zheng Yi's arm and whispered thanks:
"Thank you for your advice, we will seriously consider it. Xiao Zheng, I have gradually understood your situation, if you can, you are welcome to give us more suggestions and opinions. β
Zheng Yi nodded slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his heart: "I will!" This morning, when Zhou Junruo and Zhou Shige were talking to me on the phone, they revealed the news that Commander-in-Chief Chiang had instructed our Quartermaster Department to draw up a plan for the preparation of the front-line military station, which I speculated was for the Northern Expedition. β
"I expect that Commander-in-Chief Chiang is likely to concentrate the power of purchasing weapons and equipment from various departments of the revolutionary army in his hands in the name of the General Headquarters, and if this is the case, my position may become more and more important, and I may be able to mix up the military station and supervise the station."
Director Zhou showed a knowing smile: "Thank you for the news, I hope we will keep in touch in the future." β
"I'll be at the city headquarters tomorrow morning, and the director can call the audit section of the quartermaster department directly if he has something." Zheng Yi added.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
After sending Director Zhou away, Zheng Yi, who was preoccupied, returned to the office, made a cup of tea and thought silently, he knew that the reason why Director Zhou did not give him a clear answer was probably that he needed time to investigate his family situation, social relations and political background.
From another point of view, his performance and remarks are indeed a bit abrupt and presumptuous, and they are incompatible with the current situation of KMT-CPC cooperation, but there are some things that cannot but be said.
Knowing that the huge crisis is just around the corner, Zheng Yi can't do anything to protect himself, and turns a blind eye, since he is determined to join the Communist Party, he must think about the interests of the party, even if it causes misunderstandings, the worst result is nothing more than a longer investigation of himself and a little more time to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
The next morning, Zheng Yi rushed to the headquarters in the city early, met with his uncle Zhou Junyan in the commander-in-chief's office, and then went to Yu Feipeng's office to ask for a meeting.
Near noon, Director Zhou finally got the approval slip from Commander-in-Chief Jiang and the signature of Yu Feipeng, and applied for the batch of Yuannian-style rifles and bullets for the GD Peasant Army.
Zheng Yi declined Zhou Junruo's invitation and no longer participated in the performance of the Whampoa Military Academy Soldiers' Choir, and after returning to the East School Field, he immediately instructed his brothers to maintain the Yuannian-style rifles in stock.
On the 5th of January, Zheng Yi won the qualifications for the examination for Duan Xuan, Han Shouren and other seven brothers through Yu Feipeng's connections, and three days later, all seven of his brothers passed the cultural examination and physical examination, and entered the fourth phase of the Huangpu Military Academy for further study in the infantry department, artillery department and engineering department.
After the biggest worry, Zheng Yi strictly followed the advice of Zhou Junyan and Yu Feipeng, ignored everything that happened in the outside world, and either led his four platoons to train and study every day, or went to the shooting range under Baiyun Mountain to conduct live-fire training and assessment, and lived a low-key and fulfilling life.
But Zheng Yi did not forget the collection of various news for a day, did not stop analyzing the current situation and thinking about the future, and he had no impression of many historical events that occurred during this period, but he always kept in mind the general direction and development context.
