Chapter 64: First Sight of Li Yutang

At 2 p.m. on September 17, 1935, all the temporary barracks were built with wood and tarpaulins in accordance with He Jianye's requirements.

"I'll say okay first, let you go for a relaxed day, you have to remember your identity, you are a soldier, if you violate military regulations, I recognize you, military law is ruthless! Do you understand? He Jianye shouted loudly,

"Understood!" The officers and soldiers shouted in unison,

"Okay, now we all go to Instructor Yang Xiaoshi to get our ocean. Once you've registered where you're going, get out! He Jianye scolded with a smile,

At noon on September 20, 1935, He Jianye took Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi to Nanchang Railway Station early, where they waited for the train from Fujian to greet the division commander Li Yutang and the commanders. With the long sound of the train, the train stopped at Nanchang Station, and the regimental commanders who got off the train were in the whole team, and He Jianye, who saw the officers and soldiers of the Third Division for the first time, did not see the momentum of the Central Army's descendants, but there were many more old warlords, and the soldiers did not seem so energetic, most of the soldiers carried rifles, wore khaki military uniforms, and wore foot shoes, and some soldiers went north with big swords on their backs and a cylindrical cloth blue sky and white hat.

"He Jianye" was carefully looking at the officers and soldiers of the Third Division, and He Jianye was awakened by a shout.

"To" He Jianye immediately turned around towards the source of the voice, only to see that Ding Zongxian, the deputy commander of the Eighth Brigade, was calling him, running over and saluting and saying, "Brigade Commander."

"Division, this is He Jianye, a high-achieving student from the Nanjing Military and Political Department, who is currently the commander of the Ninth Brigade Supplementary Regiment, and the recruits I brought this time were trained by him." He Jianye reported to a general with the rank of lieutenant general,

"He Jianye, this is the commander of our Third Division." Ding Zongxian said,

"Division" He Jianye saluted, Li Yutang in He Jianye's eyes, with a Chinese face and a tall figure, revealed the domineering spirit of a professional soldier......

"Well, yes, yes, the recruits are well trained this time. Let's go, let's take the troops back to the barracks and settle down first. Li Yutang said,

He Jianye, who followed the large troops of the Third Division to the barracks, was at the front, and after arriving at the barracks, he was divided into regiments according to the predetermined area to settle down and stay, and the food and boiling water prepared by the cooking squad in advance had also been prepared. After a brief rest, Li Yutang and the division headquarters went to the original supplementary regiment headquarters to sit down, Li Yutang smiled and said to everyone, "Well, this He Jianye is good, he thought of everything he could think of, you see we didn't worry too much, and the troops settled down." Next, the commanders of all units will arrange for sentry posts today and at night, and officers at and above the regimental level can go to Nanchang City to relax this evening. ”

"Master, do you have any other arrangements tonight, why don't you invite a few people to have a light meal together?" Ding Zongxian, deputy commander of the Eighth Brigade, said,

"Oh, Deputy Brigade Commander Ding doesn't need to arrange it, Deputy Division Commander Yang, Chief of Staff Ruan, Brigade Commander Zhao, Brigade Commander Chen and Deputy Brigade Commander Ding will go to the banquet with me tonight, the students of the first phase of Huangpu will have a banquet for us in Nanchang tonight, and the old classmates can't help but give face! Let's go when everyone is ready. Li Yutang said with a smile,

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Tingya, deputy division commander, chief of staff Ruan Yongqi, commander of the Eighth Brigade Zhao Xitian, deputy brigade commander Ding Zongxian, and Chen Yinglong, the ninth brigade brigade, were all washed and waiting for the division commander Li Yutang, and less than 10 minutes later, Li Yutang came with He Jianye, looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Li Yutang said, "Tonight, Battalion Commander He's eldest brother He Fuchu is in Nanchang to entertain you. Let's go! With that, he got into the car, and the convoy kicked up a cloud of dust on the dirt road and set off.

Starting at 5 o'clock, at the entrance of the Nanchang Hotel, He Fuchu and Lin Lao Er were waiting, and at 5:40 a.m., watching the arrival of a smoke convoy, He Fuchu knew that the people of the third division were coming. Glancing at Lin Lao Er, the two of them immediately put on smiling faces and fought well, and as Li Yutang got out of the car, He Fuchu immediately greeted him and said, "Brother Li, it's been a long time." You, a busy man, finally have a chance to treat your little brother today. It's an honor! ”

"Huh! Brother He, we are all classmates in the first phase of Whampoa, what are you doing so politely! I heard that after you came out of the army, your business has become bigger and bigger! I didn't expect your brother to be so powerful on the battlefield when he was young, and he was so good at doing business when he went home! Hahaha" Li Yutang said with a smile,

"Brother Li, sir, please inside, the wine and food have been served, let's talk while eating, come, please!" He Fuchu said,

After everyone sat down in the private room on the second floor, Li Yutang stood up and said to He Fuchu, "Brother He, let me introduce you, this is Yang Tingya, deputy division commander, this is Ruan Yongqi, chief of staff, this is Zhao Xitian, commander of the Eighth Brigade, this is Ding Zongxian, deputy brigade commander, and this is Chen Yinglong, commander of the ninth brigade."

With Li Yutang's introduction, He Fuchu stepped forward to shake hands one by one and said kind words.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, He Fuchu pulled He Jianye and stood up with a wine glass and said: "Senior Commander Li, chiefs, my younger brother will beg for food under the commanders in the future, and please take care of it!" He is grateful, and the two of us brothers will do one first. After speaking, He Fuchu drank the wine in the cup with He Jianye, who was standing with him.

"Division commander, seeing that our division's training is imminent, our Eighth Brigade suffered heavy losses some time ago; Brother He has said this, the soldiers are all straight to the point, I will make a statement here, I like He Jianye, I want to transfer He Jianye to our brigade, not to mention anything else, come over and give a regiment commander to do it first, all the officers and soldiers of the brigade, including me, must receive your training. I've decided to train our brigade well! In this way, it will give us a long face on the battlefield in the future, right? Division commander, first toast a glass of wine to express your gratitude," Zhao Xitian, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, stood up and said to Li Yutang,

Chen Yinglong, the Ninth Brigade Brigade who heard this, was immediately unhappy, and immediately stood up and said: "Brigade Commander Zhao, how about He Jianye is still the commander of the supplementary regiment of our brigade, is there such a thing as you to poach people in person?" I won't say that there are no more, anyway, the commander of the supplementary regiment of our brigade has not been appointed, division commander, I propose that He Jianye act as the commander of the supplementary regiment. What do you think? ”

"I said you two can do it! After the 1,000 recruits brought over from Deputy Brigade Commander Ding were added to the troops, the two of you were red-eyed, weren't you? Why don't you think I don't know, now you don't fight for the 500 recruits left by He Jianye in front of me? Straight to the hen that laid the eggs? Right! Li Yutang scolded the two brigade commanders with a smile, and the two brigade commanders had no choice but to grin.

"I'll tell you the truth! He Jianye is a young talent that Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs is concerned about, and I think he will stay in the Ninth Brigade Supplementary Regiment for the time being, and then take the post of regiment commander, and then we will see the situation after the training. Let's go back and discuss specific matters" Li Yutang suppressed the two people who quarreled,

At more than 8 o'clock in the evening, in addition to the Nanchang Hotel, He Fuchu arranged a fun project, and everyone set off for the next show, and did not change their clothes, so a large group of soldiers went to drink flower wine.
