Chapter 1145 A gratifying progress

There was no suspense in the development of the "Liangguang Incident", Chen Jitang, who had rebelled and left his relatives, saw that the general trend had gone, swept away the 40 million huge money from Guangdong's finances, fled to Hong Kong, and then sent a telegram to the wilderness, Yu Hanmou returned to Guangzhou with the unanimous support of the Guangdong generals, took over the military power, reorganized the army in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, and eliminated Chen Jitang's cronies in the Guangdong army with a thunderous force, and then dispatched troops to the Guangdong-Guizhou border in three ways, turning the guns to the Gui army.

Under the leadership of its commander Huang Guangrui, the air force unit of the Guangdong Army, which is known as the second largest in the country, flew all the planes of the Guangdong Army that were still able to operate to the central government, and were stationed at the two major airports of Nanjing and Nanchang, respectively, and there were only more than 30 old planes left in the Guangzhou and Shaoguan bases of the Guangdong Air Force, which were broken and scrapped and could not go to the sky, and Zhou Zhirou's central air force was instantly expanded by one-third; The Guangdong Navy sent a telegram to support the central leadership, and then drove the ship north to join the Central Navy.

As a result of this incident, the Guangdong army, which is the only army in the country with three armies, suffered a great loss of vitality, and only one branch of the army remained, and the number of soldiers was less than 80,000.

Guangxi, which could not hold on alone, still put on a tough posture of fighting a decisive battle to the end in the predicament of being overwhelmed by large soldiers and embattled on all sides. Chiang Kai-shek, at the suggestion of the think tank Yang Yongtai, through the central government, in accordance with the strict organizational form, split the Gui department in the first place, and transferred Li Zongren to the Standing Committee of the Military Committee, and Bai Chongxi as the chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government; Huang Shaohong was reassigned as director of Guangxi appeasement, and Li Pinxian was appointed deputy director.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were furious, and they sent a telegram opposing the central resolution and expressing their firm determination to "fight to the death for survival". Huang Shaohong, who tried his best to avoid being in the same room, also strongly objected, and would rather resign and go home to hug his wife and children than accept the decision of the central government.

Chiang Kai-shek then convened the Central Executive Committee and approved a series of important appointments through the central government:

Zhu Peide was appointed as the director of the Yunnan-Guizhou appeasement, and Xue Yue was the deputy director, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Bandit Suppression General Headquarters was abolished; 2. Appoint Gu Zhutong as chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government.

After the announcement was announced, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, Liu Xiang and other princes from all walks of life respectively telegraphed to persuade Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to go north to take up their posts, and Cheng Qian, He Yingqin, Zhu Peide, Tang Shengzhi and others followed by telegrams, all of which were the same content: telegram persuading Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to leave Gui and go north to take up their posts.

Clear-eyed people immediately realized that if the Gui faction continued to confront, the crusade war of more than ten divisions of the Central Army against the Gui faction was about to begin, Li Zongren was shocked and finally made a compromise, and secretly sent Huang Xuchu, chairman of Guangxi Province, to Lushan to meet Chiang Kai-shek and President Lin Sen, and was warmly received by Lin Sen, Chiang Kai-shek and others, at the same time, Chen Cheng, Zhu Peide, Xiang Hanping and others sent by Chiang Kai-shek also arrived in Nanning successively, and conducted open and honest negotiations with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, and the "Liangguang Incident" finally embarked on a good way to solve it.

On 11 August, Chiang Kai-shek flew to Guangzhou, met with Liu Fei, chief of staff of the Gui Army, and asked Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to come to Guangzhou for talks.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were deeply afraid of being plotted, hesitated, and could not make a decision for several days, just when the two of them were thinking about the future, Lin Weicheng, chief of staff of the Guangxi Air Force, Deng Zixiang, chief of staff, and other officers and soldiers could not bear the selfishness and selfishness of the Gui generals, and took Huang Guangrui, commander of the Guangdong Air Force, as an example, and led two air force groups and a squadron of reconnaissance planes to Nanchang.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were angry, but they were all frustrated that they were powerless, and they had to make a decision in a critical situation, and Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu went to Guangzhou to bargain with Chiang Kai-shek.

On August 13, 13 kilometers west of Zhangde (now Anyang, Henan), Miaoling Village.

Under the scorching sun, An Yi, who was wearing the uniform of an ordinary non-commissioned officer, accompanied by all the generals and colonels, climbed the Dasha Ridge and raised his binoculars to carefully observe the exercise fortifications and trenches being built by the officers and men of the two divisions of the 40th Army.

Lieutenant General Pang Bingxun, a veteran general next to An Yi, Major General Ma Fawu, chief of staff of the 40th Army, Major General Liu Shirong, commander of the new 16th Division, Major General Li Yuntong, commander of the new 17th Division, and Major General Miyagi, commander of the *** brigade, are not much better than An Yi.

For four consecutive days, An Yi went deep into the construction area of the exercise position with the generals and colonels of the 40th Army during the day, and at the request of Pang Bingxun and Miyagi, he gave lectures and reports to officers above the commander of the 40th Army CorpsIf you don't do it well, you can do it again again until you do it well. During the whole process, An Yi, as a general, did not have the slightest arrogance, let alone any impatience, until the officers and soldiers mastered it and made a brief summary, and then clapped their hands and left satisfied.

An Yi's frank and easy-going and meticulous and rigorous style won the hearts of all the officers and men of the 40th Army, and more directly, the soldiers all knew who gave them the sturdy camouflage uniform, the Zhongzheng rifle in their hands, the steel helmet on their heads and the rubber shoes under their feet, and who helped solve their military salaries and continuously improved food.

Therefore, no matter where An Yi went, the grateful soldiers returned him with a sincere smile and saluted him uprightly.

Ma Fawu, chief of staff of the 40th Army, who thought that An Yi was just walking around and making a show, apologized to An Yi with a bowl of wine in his hands when the generals had dinner with the officers and soldiers of the position on the third day, and asked An Yi to bear with his neglect and disrespect in the past few days. Pang Bingxun, the commander of the 40th Army, who was once a life-and-death opponent, sighed with mixed feelings: I only hate to meet Brother An too late, and it was not unjust to be defeated by An Jiajun back then!

According to the plan, An Yi only needed to conduct a three-day inspection before returning to Baoding, but after An Yi arrived at the 40th Army, he decided to double the inspection time.

The 40th Army originally had only one division, the total number of officers and soldiers was less than 25,000, at the end of last year, with the strong support of An Yi, it has developed into a local main force with two divisions and a brigade, with a total strength of 42,000 people, the original 39th Division number has been taken away by An Yi before the Great Wall War of Resistance, and after the arrival of An Yi, who was quite guilty, he immediately called *** and Chiang Kai-shek, and in only half a day, he applied for the number of two regular divisions for the 40th Army, and completely solved the problem of military pay and materials that had plagued the 40th Army for a long time. So that the 40th Army no longer has to worry about the future.

Not to mention that An Yi selected the 40th Army as the main force of the all-army confrontation exercise, and launched an offensive and defensive confrontation with the 17th Army Division of the simulated Japanese army, so that the unknown 40th Army quickly received a large number of supplements, both weapons and equipment and command system, all of which were multiplied with the help of An Yi's staff team, and truly became a veritable regular army in the sequence of the National Revolutionary Army.

In the telescope, thousands of officers and men of the 40th Army were shirtless under the scorching sun, sweating like rain, and the three trenches built along the favorable terrain had already shown their rudimentary form, which was more reasonable than what they saw on the first day, and the progress and quality were greatly improved.

An Yi was very satisfied, and just as he was about to put down the binoculars, he heard Ma Fa Wu next to him scolding loudly: "Who is that little bastard?" Dog's dare to beat his regiment leader, don't want to live? ”

An Yi turned the telescope to the No. 3 high ground four hundred meters southeast, only to see a shirtless sturdy man, chasing a neatly dressed officer, the officer was not slow, but did not dare to accelerate on the steep slope of the turn, was kicked down by the sturdy man who jumped down from above, rolled down more than ten meters and climbed up with difficulty, the sturdy man still wanted to rush down the oblique cloak, was hugged by a group of veterans who quickly caught up, and the shouting on the high ground was endless, and it was a mess.

Pang Bingxun's stern voice sounded: "Shirong, what's going on with your first brigade?" ”

"Report to the military seat, my subordinates will deal with it, what the hell, why is there infighting at this time?" Division commander Liu Shirong put away the binoculars, scolded and ran down Dashaling.

Pang Bingxun wiped the sweat on his face and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother An, my brother I am not strict in governing the army, and such an ugly thing happened, which made you laugh." ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled: "Brother has seen the outside, it is normal for the military to do this kind of thing, in the several main divisions of the junior brother, there are often fights, it's not a big deal, just let the military judge figure out the merits, there is no need to make a big fuss." ”

Ma Fawu thought for a moment and asked curiously, "General An, how does An Jiajun usually deal with this kind of thing?" ”

An Yi replied politely: "First, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the following offenders will be punished first, like this case, it is usually three days of confinement and a month's military salary is deducted, and a review is obliged; Second, an investigation team composed of military judges and officers will find out the reasons and deal with them as appropriate, no matter how big the official is, as long as he makes a mistake, the punishment will be increased, the lightest is suspension from duty and in-depth review, and the heaviest is sent to a military court for judgment or even expulsion from the military to be executed. Since the establishment of our army, there have been no less than 100 officers at or above the battalion level who have been dealt with for abuse of power, embezzlement and other crimes, of which 11 have been executed, and more than 30 people are still serving sentences in our Syrian military prison, one of whom is also a good brother who saved the life of the deputy commander of the 24th Army in the Second Northern Expedition, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison for drinking a girl who sold cigarettes. ”

The general colonel of the 5th and 40th armies of Ma Fa looked at An Yi in surprise, and Liu Qing, the chief of staff beside An Yi, nodded, and patiently explained: "The person our commander said, his name is Chu Changjie, he is a combat hero who used mortars to destroy three Japanese firepower points in a row during the Battle of Songhu, and Chairman Jiang personally hung a medal on him. ”

Miyagi exclaimed in shock: "Isn't that Senior Brother Chu Changjie of the third phase of the Huangpu Bu Division?" ”

Liu Qing said with a wry smile: "That's right, it's him, for this reason, many Huangpu brothers interceded for him, and he himself regretted it, but military law is like a mountain, and it's useless for anyone to intercede!" ”

The generals and colonels were silent all of a sudden, Pang Bingxun took a deep breath and turned to the adjutant behind him:

"Go to the Ministry of Justice, seriously investigate and deal with it, you must not bend the law for personal gain, don't think that Chen Weiyong is my brother-in-law and fool the past, tonight General An and I will personally try it, and we must also report the results to the whole army to set an example, otherwise, sooner or later, innocent brothers will be tired to death!"

"Yes!"
