The confrontation exercise in the Hebei-Henan border area had a tremendous impact, and the briefing notes on the exercise prepared by Yang Jie were distributed to all armed forces across the country, causing a strong shock among the officers and men in the army.

On the day of the end of the confrontation exercise, Chiang Kai-shek flew directly to Guangzhou by plane, and all the generals and commanders also returned to various units one after another, and the Second Regiment of the Southwest Air Force, which participated in the exercise, successfully completed its mission and returned to the Yichang base with a large amount of precious data and actual combat experience.

An Yi, who has been officially appointed as the military commissioner in North China, held a one-night summary meeting with Hu Jialin and other generals of the 17th Army, so that he could fly to Nanchang by special plane the next morning, and take advantage of the time for aircraft refueling and maintenance to meet with the generals of the Nanchang garrison at the airport.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, An Yi's special plane flew to Nanning Airport, and An Yi, who stepped off the plane, suddenly found that the major general standing solemnly behind Bai Chongxi with a smile on his face turned out to be his old subordinate, Chen Zhibiao, who is now the instructor and division commander directly under the Guijun Headquarters.

After An Yi finished meeting with Bai Chongxi, Liu Fei, deputy chief of staff of the Gui Army and other generals, he took the initiative to walk in front of Chen Zhibiao, who was expressionless and uneasy in his heart, stared at Chen Zhibiao's eyes full of guilt for a while, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to hold Chen Zhibiao's arm:

"Zhibiao, at the beginning of the year, I heard that you had a big fat boy and wanted to give a gift, but I didn't know how to give it. You can come to the airport to pick me up today, it's still the same majestic old look, and I'm also at ease. ”

"Master, I, I ......"

Chen Zhibiao, whose eyes were flushed, choked up when he said a few words, and couldn't say a word of anything else.

Bai Chongxi, who was on the side, looked embarrassed, took the initiative to step forward, and said with a smile: "The two of you have reunited after a long absence, and the friendship is deep!" Haha, let's get in the car first, there will be time to talk after dinner. ”

An Yi nodded gratefully to Bai Chongxi, said a word to Chen Zhibiao, and followed Bai Chongxi into the Citroen car, the convoy slowly started, left the airport, and drove to the base camp of the Gui army under the Wangxian Slope.

In the autumn of Nanning, it was unusually hot, and An Yi, who had settled down, accompanied by Bai Chongxi and Liu Fei, strolled to the big banyan tree by the White Dragon Pond to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness, and drink tea and talk.

Everyone talked for a while, Liu Fei said that in the early days of the Northern Expedition, the General Headquarters moved to Changsha and soon saw An Yi, it was the night An Yi went to see Chiang Kai-shek, due to busy military affairs, they couldn't get to know each other in the hall in a hurry, but An Yi left a very good impression on Liu Fei.

An Yi hurriedly thanked him humbly, and said with a smile that at that time, he was just a small engineer company commander who had just debuted, and at that time, the Changsha headquarters was full of people, and there were all prominent figures such as generals, division commanders, and regiment commanders. A few words caused a burst of laughter from Bai Chongxi and Liu Fei, but An Yi recalled Liu Fei's information in the files of the An Jiajun Intelligence Bureau in his heart.

Liu Fei and Cheng Qian, Chen Mingren are fellow villagers from Liling, Hunan Province, and began their military career in the Gui Army in the early years, when Bai Chongxi graduated from Baoding and returned to Guangxi as a company commander, Liu Fei was the platoon commander under his command, Bai Chongxi was very appreciative of Liu Fei, who was knowledgeable and self-reliant, and recommended Liu Fei to enter the Nanning Lecture Hall, and later entered the Xijiang Lecture Hall presided over by Li Jishen for further study, and after graduation, he returned to the Guangxi Thief Army ordered by Mr. Sun Yat-sen to serve as a major staff officer, and followed Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong to crusade against Lu Rongting and Shen Hongying and other old Gui departments, In the end, he and Li Zongren jointly completed the great cause of Guangxi.

In the early stage of the Northern Expedition War, Liu Fei followed Bai Chongxi into the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army, served as the operational staff officer of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, and soon after conquering Hunan, Liu Fei went to study with the support of Bai Chongxi, first entered the Army Infantry School, and then entered the Army University with excellent results.

The first time An Yi met Liu Fei, it was the first time he came to Nanning to meet Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others, and Bai Chongxi introduced him, and he had no impression of the chance encounter at the Changsha headquarters in the early days of the Northern Expedition.

The cicadas on the trees are chirping endlessly, and the wind blows across the wide water surface of Bailongtan, which makes people feel refreshed and the heat is completely gone.

An Yi untied the wind and discipline button, drank the best Maojian tea in Xishan, and smiled comfortably at Bai Chongxi: "Gong Jian, if the junior brother doesn't come to Nanning to find you, I'm afraid you will never go to the junior brother's old nest to take a walk, or go to Nanjing to get together, right?" ”

Bai Chongxi smiled knowingly, knowing that An Yi was about to get to the point, put down the delicate purple sand cup, unhurried, and slowly shook the folding fan in his hand:

"Brother An, could it be that you did not come to Nanning this time to deliver a briefing on the confrontation exercise, but to be a lobbyist for Chairman Jiang?"

An Yi nodded honestly: "Exactly!" At this moment, the younger brother and Jian Gong and General Wei Zhang (Liu Feizi) are drinking tea and talking, I am afraid that the committee is also doing the same thing with General Degong and Guangxi Provincial Chairman Yixing (Huang Xuchuzi), and the Liangguang incident can be successfully resolved, thanks to the far-sightedness of Jian Gong and Degong, and the high wind and bright festival of the party and the state......"

"Stop! Stop! Brother An, when did you learn this too? Bai Chongxi looked at An Yi in surprise.

An Yi couldn't help but say: "The younger brother knows that Jian Gong is real, and he doesn't want to listen to these clichés, but General Wei Zhang is a talented polymath, if the younger brother talks about fame and fortune and money as soon as he opens his mouth, wouldn't it make General Zhang frown and be ashamed to be with my generation?" ”

Bai Chongxi was overwhelmed, smiled lightly, folded the fan and shook it for a while: "Brother An, General Zhang has followed Brother Wei for many years, and he is not an outsider, so if you have anything to say, just say it clearly, no need to scruples." ”

Liu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that An Yi was so cunning, and the polite nonsense just now turned out to be distrustful of himself, and he tried to drive himself away. But at this time, Liu Fei would be embarrassed if he left, since Bai Chongxi trusted him so much, if Liu Fei proposed to avoid it again, he would be stingy and awkward, and it would be embarrassing to get along in the future.

An Yi stood up at this time and respectfully apologized to Liu Fei: "Please be General Zhang Haihan, An Yi came by secret order of the commission, and he had to fulfill his duties." It's rare that Jian Gong has such trust in the general, and he let the general share such a secret, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant, this friendship is touching. Just ask the general to stay and discuss together, An still has a lot of places to ask the general for advice. If you offend in your words just now, please forgive the general! ”

Liu Fei hurriedly stood up: "General An's words are serious!" You may be seated, you may be seated! ”

"Don't be mother-in-law, sit down, tossing up and down on a hot day, don't you get tired?"

Bai Chongxi smiled and joked, an ordinary sentence was not seen, and there was a trace of friendship in the blame, which seemed free and casual, which made An Yi and Liu Fei feel very comfortable.

An Yi's face turned pale, and he motioned to Shen Fengdao, who was sitting on the side, to take out the exercise briefing, one to Bai Chongxi, one to Liu Fei, and the remaining two to be placed on the stone table:

In fact, after being polished by General Yang Gengguang, a theoretician in the army, it is not simple at all, the entire process of the exercise is concise and concise, the operational schematic diagram is precise and concise, and the summary of the course and results of the exercise is particularly concise.

"Please take a look at it first, and if you are interested after reading it, we will have a good exchange."

"Can Brother An's carefully organized big drill be simple? Ha ha! You can add your own tea, it's okay to go around if you have nothing to do, and we'll talk about it after reading it. ”

Bai Chongxi, who had always hoped to obtain the materials of this large-scale military confrontation exercise, was no longer polite, opened the briefing, and read it carefully, Liu Fei, who was sitting on the side, had already lowered his head and watched carefully.

An Yi saw that there was nothing to do with him for a while, called Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong, and walked along the boulevard by the White Dragon Pond.

Half an hour later, An Yi returned and saw Bai Chongxi and Liu Fei sitting on the rattan chair without saying a word, looking at the water where koi fish jumped out from time to time, their faces full of worry.

Bai Chongxi saw An Yi and motioned for him to sit down: "Brother An, before the exercise, did you really redress General Pang Bingxun's 40th Army?" ”

"To be precise, at the end of last year, the 40th Army's *** Brigade was reequipped as a whole, and three months before the exercise, the younger brother supplemented the remaining two divisions of the army with almost a division of equipment, which also included helping the 40th Army to establish an artillery regiment, and the headquarters of our Second Route Army specially sent a 30-person instructor group to the 40th Army to assist in the training, but the 36 artillery pieces equipped were all 75 mountain artillery and field artillery.

However, despite this, the equipment level of the 40th Army has basically reached the average level of the armies under the jurisdiction of the Central Army. The 40th Army is the foundation of the old Northwest Army, and it has never fallen behind in training, and its fighting spirit is also very worthy of recognition! An Yi elaborated.

Bai Chongxi's brows furrowed, and he fell silent again.

Liu Fei was a little restless, thought for a while, and said worriedly: "In this way, the current equipment level and training level of my *** team are worrying!" The tragic result of the three-day blockade was completely collapsed in just seven hours, and this tragic result was extremely shocking, and even a little desperate! ”

An Yi nodded in agreement, turned to Bai Chongxi, and said with a smile: "Gong Jian, junior brother has always thought that the human factor always comes first in war, and this emphasis is not to ignore the development of weapons and equipment, but to gain a deep understanding of several years of war. Just imagine, if the red side of the confrontation exercise is handed over to Jian Gong to command this time, and all the 90,000 soldiers are replaced by the soldiers of the Gui Army who are united and brave and good at fighting, I am afraid it will be a different result, right? ”

"Brother Ann has won the prize! Ha ha...... However, if it were replaced by my Guijun soldiers, I am afraid that they would not have been defeated so badly, and I dare not say that I insisted on three days, but two days would be completely fine. I very much agree with Brother An's sentence just now, 'the human factor comes first', and there are many supporting examples throughout the Northern Expedition, and the Red Army, which is currently struggling to survive in the northwest region, has also proved this. Judging from the current situation and development of our team, the most important thing is the commander, followed by the training level and fighting spirit of the army. ”

Bai Chongxi was extremely emotional, sighing again and again, and Liu Fei on the side nodded frequently, obviously agreeing with Bai Chongxi's opinion.

An Yi smiled slightly, and suddenly cut to the chase: "Gong Jian, at such a critical juncture, is Gong Jian still unwilling to come forward?" Looking at the armies of the country, how many people can have the full strategy and profound qualifications of a healthy man? Who can defeat the enemy thousands of miles away like Jian Gong? Who can single-handedly formulate the strategic plan and implementation rules for the magnificent Northern Expedition in just a few days? To put it mildly, looking at the whole country, in terms of military level and overall command, there are only a few generals who can make the younger brother feel broken, and Jian Gong is the best in the lead, if Jian Gong can give up his small family and resolutely take on the heavy responsibility of the country and the nation, the little brother would rather carry a gun and lead a horse to Jian Gong, no regrets! ”

After listening to An Yi's words, Bai Chongxi's face changed from politeness and humility at the beginning to shock and deep thought later, and his face that did not easily show joy and sorrow was unpredictable.

If any other person said this, Bai Chongxi would not believe it, but these words came out of the mouth of An Yi, who had great achievements in battle and was talented, but Bai Chongxi was deeply moved.

Bai Chongxi not only experienced a kind of respect and expectation from it, but also deeply felt An Yi's sincerity and generosity.

Bai Chongxi slowly stood up, walked to the water's edge, and looked at the lush Wangxian Slope on the opposite bank, motionless.

After a long time, Bai Chongxi turned around, sat down calmly, took a sip of the teacup, put down the teacup and opened the folding fan, and fanned gently:

"Haha, Brother An, I don't know if you mean what you mean or what Chairman Jiang meant?"

An Yi replied solemnly: "Yes, the so-called heroes see the same thing, even the military theoretician General Yang Gengguang has sighed more than once: Compared with Bai Jiansheng, I am deeply ashamed!" General Geng Guang has always felt that he does not have the ability to command a large corps in battle, and would rather teach at Lu University than continue to sit in the chair of deputy chief of the general staff. At the beginning of the year, when the younger brother left Nanjing, Cheng Songgong (Cheng Qian), acting chief of the general staff, also joked that he did not come, but he did not come. It can be seen from this that Jian Gong has a heavy weight in the minds of high-level generals!

After the exercise, the chairman stood on the top of the observation bunker, overlooking a messy battlefield, and sighed faintly: It's a pity that there is no Bai Jiansheng today! Jian Gong, you also know that An Yi has never talked about any rules, and has never said a word of conscience, this time he came with sincerity, not all because of Chairman Jiang's orders, the main reason is that the younger brother is extremely anxious about the current situation of our army, and he is eager for Jian Gong to sympathize with the military situation and the people's popularity, and go out of the mountain again to organize the whole army!

"With the full strategy of Jian Gong, we will be able to establish a great cause for the country and the people, otherwise the Sino-Japanese war will occur, and it will not only be the innocent people who will be trampled on, but also the dignity of the squadron and the people, and the dignity of the people will also be wiped out along with the body!"

Bai Chongxi was silent again, and Liu Fei on the side looked at Bai Chongxi's facial expression nervously, and soon realized that Bai Chongxi's heart was moved.
