At noon on March 1, 1935, He Jianye, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by a knock on the door, got up and washed his face with cold water, opened the door, and saw Yang Xiaoshi at the door, and said to He Jianye who was going out, "Second young master, the meal is arranged, do you think it will be sent up or go to the restaurant?" ”

"No need, arrange to check out, let's go to Nanchang to report directly after eating, remember to call me battalion commander or commander in the military camp in the future, don't call the second young master again." He Fuchu said,

"Yes, sir" Yang Xiaoshi immediately stood upright,

After eating, He Jianye got on the train from Nanjing and went straight to Nanchang, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived in Nanchang, but He Jianye did not go directly to the military camp on the outskirts of Nanchang to report, but took two guards to He Fu's fertilizer sales point in Nanchang, which is also the contact point with his family in the future.

Early in the morning of March 2, as soon as the sky was bright, He Jianye washed up and looked at his watch after exercising, the time was still early, he changed into the military uniform issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs, called two guards to the street to finish breakfast, and then rode on the horses prepared by He Fu in Nanchang, all the way to the supplementary regiment camp on the outskirts of Nanchang.

"Stop, who's who?" The guards at the gate raised their guns and shouted at the three horses galloping over, "Call" He Jianye and the three stopped their horses, and Zeng Da stepped forward and shouted, "This is the battalion commander of the supplementary regiment who has just come here to report." Tell me so, brothers! ”

"Wait" The guard guarding the gate looked at the papers, and then trotted all the way to the camp.

He Jianye was looking at his watch right away, and the time was just 8 o'clock in the morning. After waiting for a while, there was a shout of "Lizheng" from inside, He Jianye knew that the main owner was coming, so he immediately dismounted and threw the horse to Zeng Da. Stand in front. Looking at the soldier wearing the colonel's logo from afar, he strode over, and when the person came to the front, he immediately "snapped" and saluted: "He Jianye, a graduate of the ninth phase of the Central Army Military Academy, was ordered by the Ministry of Military Affairs to report to the Ninth Brigade Supplementary Regiment of the 3rd Division. ”

"Ding Zongxian, commander of the Ninth Brigade Supplementary Regiment of the 3rd Division, please speak inside Battalion Commander He." Commander Ding said with the momentum of a professional soldier,

Following Commander Ding into the camp, He Jianye found that there was no cleanliness and standardization of the military camp in later generations, but it gave people a messy feeling everywhere. No one had morning exercises in the playground. Following Commander Ding to the regiment headquarters, Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi automatically stood at the door. The orderly soldiers of the regiment headquarters came over to serve tea to the two, and Commander Ding said, "Brother He is worthy of being a graduate of the ninth phase of the Central Military Academy!" These guards are all different! Maybe Brother He is still surprised, why we don't look like a military camp here. ”

"The head of the regiment has won the award, and I want to ask the head of the regiment Ding to solve my doubts!" He Jianye said without saying a word,

"Tell me the truth! Although our 3rd Division is also a sequence of the Central Army, the 8th Brigade suffered heavy losses in the suppression of bandits last year, and later, under the leadership of Division Commander Li, our 3rd Division entered the Fujian Appeasement Area and was responsible for monitoring the movements of Chen Jitang's troops in Guangdong. Therefore, most of the officers and men of our supplementary regiment who were capable of fighting were strictly ordered by Division Commander Li to be added to the 8th Brigade, and now the supplementary regiment has no combat effectiveness, so the Central Military Commission has approved us to rest and recuperate in Nanchang and wait for the arrival of the supplementary troops. The total number of people left in the barracks is less than 100 people, and there is no combat mission now, due to the lack of timely material replenishment, most of the military expenses are spent on the reconstruction of the 8th Brigade. Don't be afraid of brothers' jokes! Even I, the regiment commander, haven't seen the military salary for two months, so it depends on when Division Commander Li returns. Fortunately, someone will reflect the specific difficulties to the above for us! As soon as Ding Zongxian opened his mouth, he complained.

"Captain Ding, we rely on the huge Nanchang, not to! Does the Nanchang government not care about us? He Jianye was surprised,

"I know what's on your mind? But you don't want to think about what kind of place this is, the location of the chairman's camp, although it has just been abolished, but the garrison of Nanchang is still there, and we have no orders to fundamentally advance Nanchang City. Ding Zongxian said,

"Then when will our reinforcements come! How can you train without material and supplies? He Jianye asked,

"Say it again! I guess the replenishment of troops is coming soon, and the materials and supplies are also coming soon! The Military Commission told us to rest here, and it is impossible to ignore everything. Ding Zongxian said,

"The battalion and company-level officers who can lead troops under my command have been supplemented to the 8th Brigade and the 9th Brigade, and there is nothing left to lead the troops, so you can be a battalion commander for the time being! Wait for the recruits to come and you preside over the training, you can familiarize yourself with the situation in the camp first if you have nothing to do in the past two days, or you can go to Nanchang if you have nothing to do, anyway, there is nothing to do. By the way, the only sound ones we have here are the cooking squad and my guard platoon, and the rest of the departments are still only one or two people. You get familiar with it first. If you want to go out, just let me know. After Ding Zongxian finished speaking, he called the guards to take He Jianye to familiarize himself with the situation in the camp.

He Jianye, who was basically familiar with the situation in the camp, said hello, and returned to Nanchang in the afternoon, and when Nanchang used Nanchang's radio station to send a telegram to his family, asking his eldest brother to hoard a batch of rice, noodles, grain and other materials in Nanchang, saying that he wanted to use it. The eldest brother called back and said that when he let him use it, he went directly to the fertilizer sales point in Nanchang to contact the principal, and naturally someone arranged it.

On March 5, 1935, He Jianye was arranging for the left-behind personnel in the camp to continue to clean up the weeds around the camp and the barracks, and the head of the regiment Ding informed him to pick up the recruits, He Jianye arrived at the regiment headquarters and walked towards Nanchang with the head of the regiment Ding, and arrived at the recruit acceptance office.

"Beep" As the whistle of the leading officer sounded, a group of recruits who were in a hurry finally formed a formation, and the major of the recruit department was saying to Commander Ding, "Commander Ding, you are the Central Army, and the soldiers who have been supplemented for you this time are all the best, all of them are simple peasant children, and they have undergone simple training; You click, a total of 1,500 people, all for you. ”

"He Jianye, prepare to accept new recruits." Captain Ding shouted,

"Yes" He Jianye strode towards the instructor who led the team, while Captain Ding was talking to the major, and after talking for a while, Commander Ding took out a dozen oceans and put them in the major's hand.

He Jianye sorted out the team, and when Commander Ding came over, He Jianye took the recruits to the camp on the outskirts of the city, and Commander Ding and the personnel of the guard platoon were handing over the materials.
