Chapter 930: Convergence (2)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the colorful flags inside and outside the county town of Ziliujing were unfurled, and the 4,000 officers and men of the 16th Division of the 24th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, under the leadership of division commander Xie Chi, gladly accepted the arrangements of the people from all walks of life, and held a solemn ceremony to enter the city.

The 5,000 officers and men of the 7th Garrison Brigade, led by Zhao Dongquan, chief of staff of the Garrison Headquarters, circled the city, smoothly crossed the Puxi River amid the enthusiastic cheers of the people along the way, and stationed at the Longshan Barracks on the north bank, where they began routine patrols and maintenance of law and order in the areas north of the Puxi River, the river channel, and the wharf station.
At this point, after the three brigades of the 16th Division took over the defense areas of Liu Wenhui's divisions in advance, the Anjia Army completely completed the takeover of Ziliujing County and the surrounding four towns and eight townships. Fushun County, where China's first salt well was dug between the artesian well and Syria, naturally fell into the hands of An Jiajun.
For the first time, with the help of more than 30 technical experts from the Communications Section of the Military Intelligence Department, the South Sichuan People's Radio Station conducted a 12-hour live report to the whole country through real-time transmission of radio signals.
āā¦ā¦ As night fell, countless fathers and villagers still gathered in the courtyard of the county government and the garrison camp to have earnest talks with General Xie Chi, chief of staff of the 24th Army, and others, and nine legislators elected by the local people and representatives from all walks of life attended as observers......
āā¦ā¦ At the entrance of Dangui Street, a group of ragged children surrounded the officers and soldiers of Anjia with smiles on their faces, please listen to the conversation between this immature child and a passing general......"
"Why don't you come home yet, kid? Would you like to ask for another pack of cookies? ā
āā¦ā¦ I had it, and the pencil and red book from my uncle......"
"Haha! After a while, when the school is built, you will be able to go to school. Go back, child, it's dark, don't go back, parents are worried. ā
"I don't have a home, like them, I live in the temple in front at night......"
The radio was silent, there was a burst of children's talking, and the general's voice full of pity sounded again: "Come, uncle hug you...... Great! We don't live in the temple tonight, my uncle asked you to live in the barracks with your friends, and the uncles who carried guns, and tomorrow my uncle arranged two cars to send you to Syria and to the Boy Scout Academy, which has more than 5,000 friends like you, and most of them have no parents like you, but they live together very happily, study together, play games together, carry guns together and train like soldiers, and everyone gets along like their own brothers and sisters, are you willing to go? ā
"Really......"
"Really."
There were bursts of cheers and applause on the radio, and the moving voice of the announcer sounded again: "Listeners, the scene we reported to you at the entrance of Dangui Street in Ziliujing County just now is very touching.
"Friends, these 30 or so homeless children are lucky, but how many homeless children are there in China? How many of these children are lucky to have artesian wells...... The above is a special report of the reporter Ge Ling of the South Sichuan People's Radio Station in the artesian well, please listen to friends do not go away, after the three-minute advertising time, we will go into the barracks to follow up and report again......."
"Smack!"
Chiang Kai-shek turned off the radio, walked to the chair behind the desk with a heavy face, and sat down to check the various information that kept coming.
Yang Yongtai sighed, walked to Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and said with great sadness: "Commission, General Jingzhi has made a mistake!" Originally the two sides had already ceased fighting, and they only needed to calm down and talk, and they could restore the balance between the various forces in Sichuan, but now An Yi took advantage of the situation to intervene sideways, and on the grounds of responding to the call of the central government and obeying the command of Minister He Jingzhi, he waved his army to the north in a grand manner, occupied the rich artesian well area in one fell swoop, and also used the public opinion he controlled to make a big noise and confuse the people, those broadcasts just now...... It's a political trick!
