The spring rainy season is gradually passing, the warm sun in the sky is particularly comfortable, the willow trees on the riverside are gradually greening, and the wild grass everywhere grows wildly in the full sun, and the land of Hanzhong is full of vitality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hanzhong Xingying recruit training base is located in the south of the ancient city two kilometers of the Hanjiang River, this newly completed barracks, covers an area of about 200 acres, the predecessor is a standard camp of the Beiyang Army, Hanzhong people call it Nanyingzi. After Yang Bin took office, he transferred an engineer regiment from Yichang that had just completed the construction task, and together with the 137th Division Engineer Regiment, they fought side by side, and it only took more than two months to build 12 rows of brick and wood barracks in the east and west, erect watchtowers one after another, and build the river-crossing wharf outside the south gate of Daying. Soon, two freshly painted medium-sized ferries and six river patrol speedboats entered the Hanshui River through the Yangtze River and arrived here to form the River Defense Brigade directly under the Hanzhong Xingying and began to carry out military management of the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River and undertake internal defense tasks.

Orders sounded in the battalion, and the soldiers of the five recruit regiments, under the leadership of their respective commanders, trained hard. On the 800-meter runway, various obstacles were set up, and next to each obstacle, there were two or three non-commissioned officers yelling at the soldiers who were constantly rushing over; The broad loess was firm and flat, and thousands of soldiers were scattered in companies, training in combat and assassination.

The whole camp was full of murderous spirit, roaring incessantly, radiating unprecedented vigor and vitality.

On the embankment more than 60 meters to the left of the camp gate, more than 10 generals were inspecting the wharf and embankment that had just been put into use.

Yang Bin, the director of the camp, had a bright smile on his face, he had built his own foundation in such a short period of time, and he was praised and affirmed by An Yi, he was very proud and satisfied, and he was deeply grateful to An Yi who shared life and death.

Yang Bin knew very well in his heart that without An Yi's support, it would be impossible for him to have his current status and power. It is a great blessing in his life to meet An Yi, a good officer who has deep affection and thinks of his brother in everything. Who can do his best to support his brothers like An Yi? Hu Jialin, Xia Jian, Gu Changfeng...... Now that he has achieved fame one by one, holding great power, commanding one side, so affectionate friendship and trust, how can he not make Yang Bin infinitely grateful and firm in his loyalty?

"The dock is very well repaired, and it looks like our engineer unit has gone to the next level."

An Yi was very satisfied, raised his head and looked at the ferry that was crossing in the heart of the river, and found that almost all the passengers on it were ordinary people with shoulders on their shoulders, knowing that Yang Bin still adhered to the "model battalion spirit" well, nodded appreciatively, and praised happily: "It seems that the people of Hanzhong are no longer afraid of us being soldiers." ”

Yang Bin shook his head and said with emotion: "When I came here, I knew that as long as we show the 'An Jiajun' signboard, there is nothing that cannot be done, which shows that the efforts over the years have not been in vain." To be honest, what I was most worried about before taking office was not the relationship between superiors and subordinates and the constraints of military and political affairs, but the popular base here, worried that the military tax in the northwest was too heavy and aroused public resentment. ”

Wu Liheng smiled, he quickly led the Qinwang to intervene strongly because of the Xi'an Incident and made meritorious contributions to avoid the expansion of the civil war, some time ago Chiang Kai-shek was rewarded, and Wu Liheng, who was full of courage, was successfully promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, and at this moment he heard Yang Bin praise himself without a trace, and an old face was rarely flushed with a little flush:

"Where do I have any credit? It's all handled by the headquarters, and it's thanks to the concerted efforts of the brothers of the two divisions that we have this result, haha! However, not to mention, our 'model battalion spirit' is easy to use anywhere, no, after receiving the commander's order to recruit new soldiers, our recruitment banner is like a cloud, if it were not for the extremely strict physical examination and political examination, I am afraid that more than 8,000 people will be recruited. If we didn't refuse to come like a friendly army, and we could take in 20,000 or 30,000 people, and there were still thousands of people waiting to sign up at various recruitment points in the city, now I finally understand how much a good reputation can help us, and it's worth it! ”

All the generals smiled happily, and they were all extremely proud.

An Yi turned to Sun Desheng, the commander of the 137th Division, with a smile: "Desheng, how is the quality of this batch of recruits?" ”

Sun Desheng put away his smile, took a step forward, and replied respectfully: "Report to the commander, this batch of recruits has a good foundation, nearly one-third of the recruits are brothers of the Northwest Army who have carried guns, due to the fall of Yang Hucheng, many local troops of the 17th Route Army can't even eat, the officers see that the situation is not right, and they are worried that the soldiers will mutiny, many people throw down the troops called Huazi under their command, take away all the military salaries and valuable things, and find a way out by themselves, causing tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to scatter in all directions, and heard the news of our recruitment, A lot of people came with guns on their backs. The subordinates counted carefully, and there were no less than 10,000 people, so they asked Director Yang and Commander Wu, and then checked by the camp department, eliminated those soldiers who didn't know a single word and the low-level officers with ambiguous positions, and accepted more than 4,000 veterans, all under the age of twenty-five, among which there were many good seedlings, although they were stained with the bad habits of the old army, but the subordinates believed that after three months, they would become qualified soldiers in our Anjia army, and then train him for half a year, and he could be pulled to the battlefield at any time. ”

An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!" Desheng, over the past few years, the soldiers under your command have all been really good soldiers, and the brothers all know that you have a set of military training, and the command has praised the combat effectiveness and excellent military discipline displayed by the 137th Division under your leadership, which I am very relieved of.

"Although our 137th Division was established later, it has performed very prominently in the process of dealing with the situation, especially the overall marching speed and the command level of officers at all levels.

Sun Desheng was very excited for the first time to get such a high comment from An Yi, and he put his legs together and said loudly: "This is the result of the trust and support of the commanders, Desheng will definitely make persistent efforts not to disgrace the commander and our An Jiajun!" ”

"Good, very good!"

An Yi looked at every general of the 137th Division: "Desheng, everyone, the results you have achieved are extremely satisfactory to the headquarters, but we must also see that the 137th Division has not yet experienced the real battlefield test, unlike the 16th, 44th, 39th Division and other brother troops, which have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, they have already played their own prestige and forged their own style, and you have not yet established your own reputation, nor do you have a mature style and temperament, so there are still many places for you to strengthen."

"Second, because of my reasons, your 137th Division has been identified as a model unit for the construction of a modern infantry division of the whole army, and in the next few months, it may be ready to open the front line of resistance against Japan at any time, and now that it is equipped, the operational thinking and concepts must keep up, and we must not be complacent because the division has more than half of the veterans and has advanced weapons and equipment that surpasses other units, and you must firmly remember that only on the battlefield, only in the rain of bullets and bullets, can we test the true strength of a unit. This is the main purpose of my visit to Hanzhong, and it is also the greatest expectation that our Anjia Army Headquarters places on you. ”

Sun Desheng and the generals under his command immediately felt a heavy pressure, and their smiling faces disappeared, replaced by grim and worried looks.

Only Sun Desheng did not admit defeat, stubbornly raised his head, and asked loudly: "Commander, my subordinates will never live up to the expectations of the commander and the headquarters chief, but my subordinates have a request, I hope the commander can agree." ”

"Oh? Request? ”

An Yi looked at Yang Bin and Wu Liheng with a smile, Yang Bin shook his head, saying that he didn't know what Sun Desheng was thinking, Wu Liheng, who temporarily acted as the commander of the Hanzhong garrison, half-closed his eyes, carefully looked at Sun Desheng, who was standing majestically, and turned to An Yi after a long time, spreading his hands: "This kid is a ghost and a ghost, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd." ”

An Yi was also puzzled, thinking that the equipment meets you, the funds meet you, what else is there to ask for? After thinking about it, I didn't know what Sun Desheng was thinking, so I had to ask directly: "Let's hear it, Desheng, as long as I can do it, I will strongly support you." ”

"Thank you, Commander! On behalf of the officers and men of the whole division, the subordinates asked the commander to give a lecture to the whole division! ”

Sun Desheng held his head high and replied loudly, seeing that Yang Bin, Wu Liheng, Shen Fengdao and others were all laughing, he immediately explained in a low voice: "Don't laugh, as long as the commander is willing to speak, and the junior brother dares to say it, one sentence is more effective than a hundred of us, if it is a war, it is at least worth an artillery regiment." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, An Yi was also amused by Sun Desheng's words, and had to secretly admire his love for Sun Desheng's dense thoughts, and after laughing and thinking about it, he still agreed:

"In this case, let's go around and take a look at your training first, and then concentrate after reading it, and then we will say a few words when I need to speak. To be honest, I also have something to say to the brothers, after all, many of the newcomers who come in are veterans, and I may be able to reassure them by saying a few words. ”

The officers and soldiers on the training ground were very surprised for a while when they saw dozens of generals passing by, and many battalion and company commanders were so frightened that they threw everything away and ran to the side of the team and stood upright with their legs, and saluted An Yi solemnly.

An Yi hurriedly returned the salute, but his footsteps did not stop, until he walked to the edge of the hand-to-hand combat training ground in the northeast, and then stopped his steps and looked at the competition company shouting loudly in a circle with interest.
