On October 2, 1938, at the Chaowangzhou Barracks in Nanchang City, before dawn, He Jianye was the same as other officers; I was already eating breakfast, and today's breakfast was very hearty, fragrant rice, a large pot of braised pork, and a broth cooked with radish and cabbage; The brethren devoured it, today is the day when the garrison headquarters is formed, and the whole ceremony is down; I don't know what time it was for the brethren to eat lunch, so everyone was eating as much as they could, and the kettle was already full of cold boils; The brothers in the cooking class were handing out multigrain bread to each soldier as a lunch.

"Report to the commander, the troops are assembled; Request to go! Legasaki reported loudly at the front of the line,

In the silence of the training ground, the eight thousand brothers were fully armed, their brand-new Mauser rifles on their shoulders, bullet pouches filled with bullets, and four grenades stuck in the grenade pouches behind them; The LMG was already waiting with a Czech LMG on his shoulder, the spare magazine on his waist flashing with a cold light; As for the heavy machine guns and mortars, at the suggestion of Legasaki, they were not carried; It was too heavy, and it was a serious test of the brothers' strength!

"The first battalion and the second battalion are responsible for the defense of all the nine city gates of Nanchang; Let's go! He Jianye ordered,

"The guard company is responsible for order and safety in the field, and the special service battalion is responsible for the sentry and order around the garrison headquarters; Today, no matter which way the cow ghost snake god dares to disturb our army ceremony, you know what to do! He Jianye stood on the stage and shouted,

"Brothers of the first battalion, turn left and go!" Zhu Yunhua rode a war horse and roared loudly,

"The second battalion keeps up!" Sheng Hai roared and gave orders,

......

"Click, click......"

"Deg, Deer......"

The sound of neat footsteps mingled with the sound of horses' hooves sounded abruptly outside the Guangrun Gate on the eve of dawn......

"One company, Guangrun Gate, two companies, Huimin Gate;" Just arrived at Guangrunmen, Zhu Yunhua was already arranging defense; From here, four infantry companies of a battalion had to be arranged around the city;

"A long line, take the brethren to control the gates. Second row, ...... the upper city tower, "The commander of the first company is a veteran, of course he knows what to pay attention to today, the brothers of the first company have already left the team, and they have begun to arrange around the city gate without any panic;

The team dispersed as they entered the city, and when they entered the Nanchang Garrison Headquarters, there were only the brothers of the third battalion, the guard company, and the special service battalion;

The Nanchang Garrison Headquarters faces the lake road, and the East Lake is not far away; The wooden gate is three meters high, and the heavy and moist gate looks a bit vicissitudes; On both sides of the door, the book union "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard". Facing the gate, about 8 meters high and 15 meters wide, on the wooden wall is a huge white paper, on which is written "Whampoa School Song". Entering the gate, there is a 10-meter-high watchtower on the left and right sides. Past the watchtower on the right, there is a row of one-story wooden houses on each side of the road, which was the barracks of the garrison. The watchtower on the left is past a wide school field, next to the school field, opposite the barracks, is the office building of the Nanchang Garrison Command, three unfinished houses stand in the cold wind, telling the desolation of the government! The back office is facing the wooden wall behind the gate. The layout of the entire Nanchang Garrison Command is simple and effective!

It is already very cold in Nanchang in October, the pace of winter has come, and the bleak autumn wind is whining in the morning, depending on the reluctance; The citizens, businessmen, schools, and various organizations and governments of Nanchang all know that at nine o'clock this morning, on the east side of East Lake, the Nanchang Command, which has been established for nearly a month, is finally going to hold a ceremony; and the mysterious former Central Army's fierce general, the current Nanchang garrison commander He Jianye will also show his true face;

When He Jianye arrived at the garrison headquarters, it was just dawning, and there were still nearly two hours before the ceremony began; Yang Xiaoshi and Zeng Da have already begun to order the soldiers to set up the venue, and on the rostrum in front of the school field, the microphone and radio have been prepared in advance! Three meters behind the rostrum is a row of wooden seats, which are intended for the rostrum! But I don't know who will be able to sit on it today!

The soldiers who participated in the ceremony and the commanders of each battalion were planning the venue with the soldiers, and there were only 1,200 soldiers who participated in the ceremony today, and the rest of the personnel were all spread throughout Nanchang City. The rest of the vast venue is a viewing area for the crowd who come to watch the ceremony!

At eight o'clock in the morning, merchants and social groups arrived one after another, carrying the ocean and supplies as gifts, and stood in the viewing area under the guidance of the receiving officers and soldiers. Of course, I don't know how many devils' spies and traitors there are.

"Jiangxi Provincial Government Chairman Xiong Shihui, Chairman Xiong has arrived!" Leng Qi at the door shouted loudly, and then ordered the soldiers of the guard company to lead them to the rostrum and take a seat!

"Zhu Youqian, mayor of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province!"

"The director of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs has arrived!"

"The director of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Finance has arrived!"

......

"Major General Huang Guangdou, director of the Jiangxi Provincial Police Bureau, has arrived!"

As the shouts at the door grew, the time gradually came to nine o'clock! The brothers, who had been standing in the field for an hour, were still standing motionless, their rifles on their shoulders braving the cold light, and the officers and soldiers of the various guard points in the city stared at the crowd with wide eyes, and if they noticed the armed men approaching, they would immediately address the threat!

"Commander, the time has come! Whether to start or not, give the order! Leng Qi wore white gloves and a standard military salute, and reported to He Jianye, who was standing on the rostrum,

"Let's go!" He Jianye returned the gift!

"Yes"

"Zeng Da, light firecrackers!" Leng Qi turned around and ordered loudly,

"Bang Bang Bang ......" two long strings of firecrackers began to sound like machine guns on the battlefield;

"Brethren, from Wuhan to Jiujiang; After two months of bloody fighting, less than half of the more than 6,000 brothers made it back alive, most of them were wounded, and less than 1,000 of them came back on their own! They shed their blood for Jiujiang, for Jiangxi, and for China! Their blood has not been shed in vain, the devil is still blocked on the front line of Mahuiling, and our Nanchang is still as stable as Mount Tai! According to the form of the battlefield, the Military Commission and the theater of operations will let us the remnants come to Nanchang to form a city defense force! It has been almost a month since I came here, and all the brothers have been training hard and starving for a month. Today, we can finally proudly say: we are worthy of the multigrain cake we eat, today the army has finally taken shape, and we can now contribute our own strength to the citizens of Nanchang! ”

Speaking of this, the government officials sitting on the stage and some of the officials standing below finally turned pale, they have not fully allocated the government's materials and funds to the Nanchang Garrison Command until now, He Jianye said these words to them; The meaning is: no matter what you do, the labor and management of the army are now pulled out, and if you don't give it in the future, you have to ask the gun in the hands of the labor and management?

Provincial Chairman Xiong Shihui glared at Zhu Youqian next to him, meaning where did these guns and ammunition come from? Zhu Youqian put on a pitiful look of unknowing! Angry Bear Shiki coughs!
