In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of 1928. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After three months of training, 1,800 recruits from the training camp gradually showed the temperament of modern soldiers; after five days of strict assessment and screening, 1,200 of them were disorganized into 10 infantry companies and began more rigorous military skills training and political study, while the remaining 600 recruits were all incorporated into the engineer battalion directly under their command and devoted themselves to the construction of base areas and surrounding fortifications.

The first three-and-a-half-month officer training course was completed.

More than 200 officers and cadets with a new look quickly returned to various units to make intense preparations for the military skills contest to be held during the Spring Festival.

In the newly completed guard classroom on the right side of the Baigong Temple, division commander Zheng Yi held a half-old Hanyang rifle and explained to the 135 elites in the army who were selected for the first military skills training class:

"This Hanyang rifle is basically the same as the rifle equipped with the boot training camp, and everyone is very familiar with it, but everyone may not know that in addition to the most backward old sleeve rifle, the improved Hanyang rifle commonly used by the national army also needs to be divided into two types."

"The first was the 1904-style Hanyang rifle, which was the first modification after the old sleeve rifle, replacing the cumbersome and scrappy old sleeve rifle with no guaranteed shooting accuracy with a thickened barrel."

"The second is the 1910 rifle with an improved ruler and bayonet mount, although it still uses a five-round missing clip like the previous two old rifles, but in terms of manufacturing materials, manufacturing technology and manufacturing accuracy, it is much better than the previous two old rifles, and the effective range has also been increased from 250 meters to 350-400 meters."

Zheng Yi glanced at Commissioner Mao, who quietly entered the back door of the classroom and sat down with a smile, put down the rifle in his hand after being surprised, and said loudly in an accentuated tone:

"Comrades, I must remind you here that most of the Hanyang rifles that are currently popular throughout the country are improved rifles manufactured after 1904, and they are basically from the Hanyang Arsenal, the Central Plains Gongxian Arsenal, the Jinling Arsenal, the Huhai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the Guangdong Shijing Arsenal, and the Tianjin Dagu Shipyard."

"However, both the 1910 rifle and the 1904 rifle have a significant drawback, and that is that because of the different manufacturers, many parts are not universal, and even the bayonet mounts are not in the same position."

"This problem is common to the 2,000 Hanyang-style rifles used in our boot camp, and it took a lot of time for the quartermaster staff and instructors of the division headquarters to solve this problem by carefully inspecting and using them in a centralized manner...... Therefore, we must arouse everyone's full attention. ”

"Only when you have the bottom in your heart, you will not make mistakes on the battlefield in the future because of such problems! That's all for today's weapons class, let's get out of class. ”

"Stand - salute!"

More than 100 elites stood up neatly at the instructor's command, saluted neatly, and lowered their arms only after seeing Zheng Yi walk out of the classroom.

Zheng Yi strode out of the classroom, walked to Commissioner Mao who greeted him with a smile, and asked with a smile while saluting, "When did you come back?" ”

Commissar Mao, whose face was scorched, showed a relaxed smile: "I returned to Ciping yesterday afternoon, and I came to see you early this morning, haha!" I heard that you canceled the plan of action to attack Suichuan? ”

Zheng Yi took Commissar Mao's hand and walked to the division headquarters in the south: "The weather is too bad, there has not been a single sunny day in the past half a month, the mountain roads are slippery, it is very difficult to walk, and the most terrible thing is that it is freezing rain. ”

Commissar Mao nodded frequently: "I guess that's the reason...... Over the past month or so, our two regiments stationed in Chaling and Youxian have not had a good time, colds, fevers, and slaps are not uncommon, and on the way back to Jinggangshan, at least 200 soldiers fell ill, and more than 50 of them were very sick, and they were carried on horses all the way. ”

Zheng Yi stopped in surprise: "Both regiments have withdrawn?" ”

Commissar Mao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "The local armed forces in various counties in southern Hunan have developed rapidly, and in Chaling and Youxian alone, they have grown to nearly 10,000 people in less than three months, and in the end they have not even had enough to eat. ”

"In this way, I had no choice but to withdraw the troops to Youxian, but the small Yuxian County could not keep the basic food supply, so I had no choice but to leave two battalions to respond to the Nianguan riot in the southern Hunan area at any time, and the remaining regiment recruits and more than 200 wounded and sick all withdrew to Ciping."

Zheng Yi listened to it and was worried: "Is the approach of the Shonan Special Commission inappropriate?" The three main divisions of Li Pinxian's Eighth Army have been withdrawn to Changsha, the 35th and 36th armies of Liu Xing and He Jian have withdrawn to Yueyang, and Ye Qi's two newly formed divisions have also withdrawn to Pingjiang and Tongxian. ”

Commissar Mao took Zheng Yi's hand and continued to walk forward: "Let's go, it's too cold outside, let's talk about it when we go back to the house." ”

The two came to Zheng Yi's office, sat beside the charcoal fire and talked in a low voice with hot tea in their hands, talking about the situation in southern Hunan, talking about the mobilization of enemy troops in Jiangxi Province, the conflict between the warlords of Guangdong and Guizhou after the failure of the Guangzhou uprising, and talking about the high-profile comeback of President Jiang and the national situation on New Year's Day, until political commissar Li Zhao and deputy division commander Han Shouren came in to say that lunch time was almost over, the two went to the division canteen to eat, and returned to the office to continue the discussion after the meal.

Zheng Yi handed over a thick pile of information sent from Hong Kong in the past half a month to Committee member Mao, and then sat aside and smoked silently.

It took Commissar Mao an hour to finally read the information, took the cigarette handed by Zheng Yi, and asked with a smile: "The Hong Kong intelligence station has been established?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "The three intelligence stations of Hong Kong, Wuhan, and Huhai have all been established, and the intelligence officers of several other groups have also successfully infiltrated Nanchang, Ji'an, and Ganzhou, and have lurked in the ways of opening medical centers, opening shops, and entering schools to teach, and four of them have gone with their wives and children. ”

"An intelligence officer from Nanchang Station successfully entered the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs through bribery, and another intelligence officer from Ji'an Station just arrived in Ji'an City a few days ago, and happened to encounter the Ji'an Security Regiment recruitment, so he mixed in and became a regimental secretary."

"At present, except for the three intelligence stations in Wuhan, Huhai and Hong Kong, the other intelligence stations have not yet had time to send radio stations, and for the sake of prudence, they will not be activated for at least half a year. If necessary, our side can always hand over the organizational relationships and contact information of these intelligence officers to the front committee. ”

Commissar Mao was very happy: "Well done!" It's ten times better than I expected, don't worry about the matter of handing over to the front committee, you don't have anyone to hand over to the front committee now, and there is no talent in this area, I'll call a meeting of the front committee when I go back, and talk about it later. ”

Zheng Yi nodded and continued to report in a low voice: "Director Zhou and many members of the former committee of the Guangzhou Uprising were ordered by the Central Committee to leave Hong Kong and return to Shanghai at the end of last month to lead the urban riots in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and North China. ”

"Before Director Zhou left Hong Kong, he sent me a telegram telling me to be ready, once the central government needs me to report to Huhai, I have to obey the order to leave the army and rush to Shanghai."

Commissar Mao was stunned, pondered for a moment and expressed his worries: "You, the most capable general of the Central Committee, have entered the field of vision of the Central Committee members, especially Comrade Qiubai, who admires and trusts you very much, and the responsibility for the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising and the Nanchang Uprising has been implemented, and it is estimated that the board will not hit your ass." ”

"But you have to think about it, what is the future of the brave and warlike army of the Mentors you lead? Do you want to cooperate with the upcoming Shonan uprising, or do you want to open up a new battlefield? You have to think about these questions, or you may be too late. ”

Zheng Yi sighed: "I have repeatedly considered these problems, and I have also reported the difficulties to Director Zhou, at present, the instructors and soldiers are still resting, hundreds of wounded have not yet recovered, 1,800 recruits have just entered the second stage of military skills training, and they can only be used in at least three months, plus a large number of materials purchased last year have been transported to Wuhan, and they must be transported back as soon as possible, otherwise they will have a long night's sleep." ”

"In such a situation, even if I rush to Huhai to report, the instructor's side will not be able to launch a military operation."

Commissar Mao nodded slightly, and asked a question that made Zheng Yi very headache: "You have your considerations, the central government has the central government's considerations, once the central government asks you to lead the instructor to attack Ji'an or the surrounding counties, won't you go to implement it?" ”
