Chapter 595: A lesson worth pondering

The drizzle kept falling, and the sky and the earth were vast. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info An Yi was lying on the bench of his own small building in the Central Military Academy, and drank a little wine with Shen Fengdao and a few ducks.

Originally, An Yi was going to be locked up in a confinement room, but the careful senior brother Wang Shihe directly sent An Yi into his small building, leaving two guards to guard the gate, even if it was confinement, and after returning to report to Chiang Kai-shek that he could not be locked in a confinement room, otherwise it would be difficult for the military academy staff and students to ask.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's anger disappeared a lot, thinking about An Yi's great military exploits, and then thinking about the independent division and those An Yi's old subordinates in southern Sichuan, Yunnan, Xiangxi, and Qianxi, he felt that the matter was too big to clean up, nodded and thought that Wang Shihe was thoughtful, praised a few words and walked out of the office to go home to set up a banquet, and shocked He Yingqin, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and was shocked to fly back to Nanchang tomorrow to command the bandits.

Interestingly, Chiang Kai-shek's "resting house" is less than 100 meters away from An Yi's small building, when Chiang Kai-shek raised a glass and invited him to drink, An Yi also raised a glass with his brothers in his small building, the only regret at the moment is that he can't walk out of the small building freely, and he can't fulfill the promise to go to the movies with the two beauties, so An Yi explained to Gong Qian and Ye Qing in a low voice on the phone for a long time, and said with a clear conscience that the emergency military meeting might have to be held for several days in a row, and there was no way to leave during this period.

As soon as it was dawn that morning, An Yi, dressed in a neat uniform, stood straight at the gate of the "Rest House", letting the dense drizzle of the rainy season drench his whole body.

More than half of the guards on duty are senior brothers of Whampoa, and they have all learned that the world-famous senior brother An has regained the style of the rivers and lakes when he was wandering on the streets, and has flattened the former education chief and old chief General He Jingzhi once, so they want to laugh when they see An Yi one by one, and they admire this junior brother's style of daring to love and hate the king of heaven and Lao Tzu.

However, seeing An Yi standing silently in the rain curtain in front of the corridor with his face strained, everyone was heartbroken, but no one dared to go over to persuade him, knowing that An Yi, who had been grounded for a week, had just been lifted, although the rank of lieutenant general and general was still there, the honor of acting chief of education of the military academy was gone, and the official position of the deputy chief of staff was retained, but there was no specific division of labor and powers, and he was punished once for a major demerit in the party on trumped-up charges, and he can only stay in the military academy to be a tactical instructor for the general class and the cadets.

Song Meiling sat at the dining table, holding the fork for a long time, always looking at the pitiful figure of An Yi standing straight outside the gauze curtain: "Darling, An Yi has been standing there for more than two hours, you just go out and give him a word, it seems that this time he really admitted his mistake." ”

"He admits his mistake? This kid is very tough, last night the people from the Ministry of Military Affairs went to announce the punishment to him, he didn't say a word, he didn't have any repentance, let him continue to stand, more rain can make him calm down. ”

Chiang Kai-shek picked up a piece of bread with his hand and ate it slowly.

Song Meiling sighed: "The plenary session of the Central Committee is being held in the past two days, and the representatives from all walks of life know that An Yi has returned to Nanjing, and they all want to see him, especially the representatives of Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan and the northwest provinces, all of them are grateful to him, if he is not let out, it will be difficult to deal with it, not to mention that he An Yi is still an alternate member of the Central Committee, and he can't take such a long sick leave in a row during such an important meeting, right?" Beware that the deputies don't believe it, there have been a lot of bad rumors in the outside world before, and Wang Jingwei and his gang in Guangzhou have even created public opinion, making a fuss about An Yi's job transfer, slandering Darling for depriving meritorious generals of their military powers, and further accelerating the dictatorship. ”

Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly put down half a slice of bread: "Tell me where this guy has the appearance of a general?" It's just a little rascal, a little deflated three, I didn't expect him to dare to do it, and in front of me and so many military officers, fortunately, he is measured, and he respects it only because of the flesh and skin injuries that don't get in the way, otherwise wouldn't he miss the plan to suppress bandits? ”

"Poof......

Song Meiling hurriedly covered her mouth with a white napkin, trying not to let herself laugh out loud, she felt that although An Yi was ridiculous, but she was so frank and cute, thinking of He Yingqin's blue nose and swollen face that night sighed, but she still had to pretend to forgive An Yi generously, Song Meiling felt more and more interesting, and she couldn't stop laughing when she saw Chiang Kai-shek roll his eyes.

Chiang Kai-shek drank his saliva and shook his head again and again: "Forget it, forget it, you can laugh if you want, but you can't laugh in front of An Yi, you must criticize him seriously, otherwise his ass will go up to the sky, alas...... This guy, the military level is not good, and there is also a set of training the army to govern the place, but it is too grudgeful, Guofu whispered to me, now the headquarters and the party department are still afraid, no one thought that An Yi was so wild, he said that he would fight, without warning beforehand, and the warlords still knew that they had to save face and scruple about their identity, he was good, and he didn't want to have face. ”

Song Meiling couldn't help but smile again, and said with emotion after laughing: "You can't blame him for this...... Sometimes I think about An Yi is pitiful, he was abandoned by his biological parents a few days after he was born, and the kind old man who had not yet raised him with a weak crown passed away again, he did not get the family affection he deserved since he was a child, and it was not easy to get to this day step by step!

Darling, forgive him! Go and talk to him, tell him to go back and change his clothes, and then let him attend the meeting as if nothing had happened, and then go back to the military academy to teach. I'm sure he already knew he was wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have stood at the door before dawn and blamed himself until now. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at his watch: "It's been almost three hours, his body is not good, and he has been seriously injured in Nanchang, Jiangbei and Beiping, and it is really possible to get sick if he falls again." In this way, you go, you are his wife, he respects you very much, you go and say better, I don't know what to say. ”

"Okay."

Song Meiling tidied up her clothes, walked outside the door, and came back again a few minutes later, shook her head and said helplessly to Chiang Kai-shek: "This kid is too tough, Darling, he said he was wrong, and if the principal couldn't forgive him, he would keep standing." ”

"Mother, Xipi! Threatening me, isn't it? ”

Chiang Kai-shek strode out of the door in annoyance, Song Meiling hurriedly followed, in case Chiang Kai-shek got angry, who knew that Chiang Kai-shek saw An Yi who was drenched in soup, and suddenly felt a softness in his heart, as if he saw An Yi jumping into the icy Gan River in the Battle of Nanchang, carrying the pontoon bridge with his shoulders and calling Wang Shihe to take himself to withdraw across the pontoon bridge, his nose was sore, and he looked up at the gray and drizzly sky.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek lowered his head, looked at An Yi quietly, and ordered in a low voice: "Go back, change your clothes, and have a meeting at half past eight." ”

"Principal Xie! An Yi ...... An Yi was full of guilt, and he was willing to accept any punishment. An Yi lowered his head with a heavy face.

Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly: "It has already been punished, so don't mention this matter again." After attending today's meeting, I will start to return to the military academy tomorrow to teach, and if you are not qualified to be the chief of education, it is still very popular to take professional classes. ”

"Yes!"

An Yili saluted, turned around very formally, and walked to his small building in the drizzle with the steps of a soldier.

Song Meiling sighed with emotion, and couldn't figure out for a while how the pair of teachers and students could solve the problem in a few words, why didn't they use the nearly 100 words she had just said?

At the beginning of the first formal meeting of the National Assembly, the bosses of the various departments of the Military Commission sitting in the military seat wanted to laugh when they saw An Yi, who was sitting upright and meticulous, but An Yi seemed to have never happened before, and listened carefully to the report of Yu Youren, chairman of the presidium on the stage, on the "Law and Industrial Construction Procedures" and "Condolences to the Soldiers and Overseas Chinese".

The protracted meeting finally ended, An Yi asked for "sick leave" again in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, quietly returned to the office in Houzai Lane, dealt with the big and small affairs that had accumulated for a week, and was busy until the evening before changing into civilian clothes and rushing to Gong Qian's house next door for dinner, and in the evening, he and Gong Qian and Ye Qing quietly slipped into the "Jinghua Cinema" at the entrance of Gulou Street to watch the film "Mickey Mouse and the Big Giant", and after the three of them happily went to the Confucius Temple for supper, and played until 11 o'clock in the evening before returning to Gong Qian's house together.

Ye Qing stayed behind to talk to Gong Qian at night, and An Yi returned next door to sort out all kinds of information sent by Nanchang, preparing to give a vivid strategic and tactical lesson to the students of the Huangpu General Class.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, half an hour before the start of class, the auditorium of the Central Military Academy was already full of stars, more than 100 cadets of the general class, dozens of instructors of various subjects of the military academy who could spare time, and 500 outstanding students of the regular class of the military academy gathered together, and more than 10 military instructors from Europe, the United States and Japan also sat under the stage with great interest, waiting for the first lecture that General An Yi was about to teach after a long absence.

An Yi's strategy and tactics course has always been welcomed and respected by the teachers and students of the Central Military Academy, and An Yi has experienced a hundred battles and has rich practical experience.

At 2:30, An Yi, who was wearing a summer camouflage training uniform, entered the gate on time and stepped onto the podium, more than 700 teachers and students stood up and saluted in the loud command of the star officer.

An Yi knew that the applause was for himself and the soldiers who fought in the southwest, so he thanked the microphone very politely and humbly invited everyone to sit down.

"Thank you! One hundred and forty-two of them entered the original Fifth Army Corps and experienced the Nanyang Campaign, the Luoyang Campaign, and the Southern Sichuan Campaign, and they gradually matured in the nearly one-year battle, among which the highest rank of meritorious promotion was the major battalion commander, and a total of 11 outstanding officers from the Central Military Academy have now become outstanding officers in various divisions stationed in Sichuan.

In addition to my colleagues and colleagues from the friendly army who came to study, most of them are colleagues of the eighth period, starting from the eighth period, the school system of the military academy has been changed to three years, which is the need of army construction, and at the same time, there is no big war to fight outside for the time being, and there is no good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

As soon as An Yi's words fell, there was laughter in the audience, An Yi looked around, and said calmly: "Maybe some brothers want to ask, isn't the vigorous war against bandits in Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou that is currently raging in Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou not a big war?" All I can say is that it will get bigger and bigger, and there will be no result in the short term. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, and the instructors from Europe, the United States and Japan also looked at An Yi on the stage in dismay, and it was difficult to understand how this young general, who was invincible and good at fighting tough battles, could say such a thing.

At present, the second encirclement and suppression of the Central Army invested as many as 200,000 troops, and the main force of the 19th Route Army was placed in the Xingguo area and attacked in the direction of Longgang and Ningdu; The 28th, 43rd, 54th, and 77th divisions of the Fifth Route Army were placed in the areas of Wan'an, Taihe, Ji'an, Jishui, and Yongfeng, and attacked in the direction of Donggu and Shaxi; The main force of the 26th Route Army was placed in the Le'an and Yihuang areas, and attacked in the direction of Dajinzhu and Luokou; The main force of the Sixth Route Army was placed in the area of Nanfeng and Jianning, Fujian, and attacked in the direction of Guangchang. In addition, with the new Fourth Brigade stationed in Fujian, the Lu Xingbang Brigade of the new Second Division, the 49th Division, and the 62nd Division stationed in Guangdong to carry out blockades on the border of Jiangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi, with a total strength of 18 divisions and three brigades, totaling 200,000 troops, to clear out the less than 100,000 mud-legged Red Army. It is equivalent to predicting that the Central Army will end in defeat, how can it not let the whole house be in an uproar?

An Yi patiently waited for the venue to quiet down, and continued his topic without care:

"In today's class, what I want to explain is about the prediction of the second encirclement and suppression, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the belligerents from all aspects, and trying to make an overall prediction according to their respective positions and the historical and cultural environment, climate, geography and many other conditions of each sub-battlefield in the entire battlefield.

First of all, I would like to state that the reason why I use the term 'belligerents' is not because I do not have a position, but because it is convenient for you to discuss from an objective point of view, without consciously or unconsciously bringing personal emotions; Please remember my two-point statement, which is very important, because academic mistakes are forgivable, and ideological mistakes can go wrong. ”

Everyone smiled again, An Yi had made such a joke in class before, for this reason, the officials of the Political Department and the Political Training Department also laughed at this, helpless, everyone clearly knew what An Yi's statement meant, the cunning An Yi always put aside all the suspicions first, everyone heard his above board statement, so no one could make a small report.

An Yi got down to business, and based on the battle reports he obtained from the General Staff Department, which could be made public within the military system, and the secret information sent by the Nanchang Intelligence Station, he explained little by little the battles of the second encirclement and suppression from the beginning to the present:

From He Yingqin's operational principle of "fighting steadily and steadily for the battalion step by step" to the fact that some units advance only 2.5 to 2.8 kilometers a day, from being beaten and ambushed by a light enemy to being crippled by ants and elephants in fear On the contrary, a lack of in-depth understanding of the lofty mountains, the complex law of river fluctuations, the rainfall and vegetation characteristics of the rainy season, the distribution of residents' residences, and even the cultivation of grain crops and two meals a day will become the most important enemy of the attacking side. On the basis of these three elements is equipment, and which side is in the hands of the most important "people" among the three elements?

Two hours later, the full hall of generals and students listened with relish, but worried, An Yi did not say any specific predictions, but ended today's class with a small story:

"When I was inspecting the battlefield in southern Sichuan in April, the chief of the telecommunications section of the unit below told me that Beacon Mountain was too high and too wide, covered with forests, and that there was no radio connection between it and Huangyang'ao, which was 2.5 kilometers away from each other, due to geological problems, and that the distance between the two places was no more than three kilometers in a straight line, but it took eight hours to walk on a winding mountain path, so it was impossible to make contact quickly and effectively.

As soon as the section chief's voice stopped, there was a burst of shouting from the Huangyang Pass, the sound spread for ten miles, the valley echoed, the owner of the family living on the Yellow Sheep Pass stood on the top of the mountain and shouted, the village at the foot of the Bijia Mountain soon walked out of a man, standing on the high threshold of more than 50 meters in front of me and screaming at the Yellow Sheep Pass, I am from Sichuan, I can hear what they are shouting, it turns out that the two are passing the news, the Yellow Sheep Pass lives on the boss, today he hunted and got a roe deer, to take his family down the mountain and the second family at the foot of Beacon Mountain to get together, The eldest told the second child to go buy alcohol immediately.

My section chief was dumbfounded, and I went over to ask permission to stay, and got drunk with a group of them that night with my own wine. The eldest brother's family walked for five hours for this meal, while my brothers took eight hours, two and a half hours, because there was a shortcut hidden in the inconspicuous dense forest, which we all did not know, and only they were familiar with it.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's lesson, and goodbye! ”

The whole hall stood up and applauded like thunder, and the content of this lesson spread throughout the military academy that night, and soon reached the ears of the general colonel of the headquarters and Chiang Kai-shek.

The generals smiled when they heard it, no one took it seriously, and the news of the failures came one after another in less than ten days, but no one took the mistake for this, and no one was willing to review it, but more than ten military instructors from Europe, the United States and Japan were shocked, and they were all trying to make an appointment with An Yi to deduce the battle in detail.
