readx;

October 18 of the second year. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info with Zhang Xueliang Lidian Cangguo. Support for the Central Huang Jia. Chiang Kai-shek did not give Yan Xishan the opportunity to retain his strength and retreat to Shanxi, and ordered the whole army to catch up, expand the results of the battle, and take the Lanfeng line that had been fighting for half a month in one fell swoop, and then waved his army to Zhengzhou and launched a fierce attack.

An Yi, who had been staying in Huangguan for more than a month, sent away Hu Zongnan's 1st Division, which had left for Xi'an, handed over the relief affairs to the officials of the Central Government's Disaster Relief Committee in the coming week, and ordered Zhu Shigui's 17th Division to hand over the defense of Luoyang to the 9th Division. Slightly out of Luoyang and returned to Xiangyang to station.

The 16th and 17th Divisions, which had made great achievements in battle, and whose numbers had increased dramatically, also bid farewell to important places in western Henan and southern Shaanxi one after another, and withdrew to Yidu and Zhijiang in batches to station. Only the 16th Division guarding Huayin, the 44th Division stationed in Baoling, and the new 14th Division garrisoning Huangguan were left behind, waiting for further orders from the Central Military Commission.

On 20 September, the first train full of grain for disaster relief was planted with national flags and party flags and plastered with slogans for disaster relief, and it left Pukou for Xi'an through Huangguan.

Yang Hucheng had a headache in the face of the entangled reporters, and his polite and humble smile was replaced by sorrow and fear, and in desperation, he also followed An Yi's example, and led the officials of the camp to wander around to investigate, and took refuge everywhere on the grounds that he was busy with disaster relief and pacifying the people.

An Yi vigorously opposed the Northeast Army's large-scale entry into the pass and seized all parts of Pingjin, and called Chiang Kai-shek three times to admonish him. As long as the Northeast Army has a clear attitude, it should be stated. It is predicted that the departure of the main force of the Northeast Army will enable the Japanese with ill intentions to take advantage of the opportunity to gradually encroach on the territory of the Northeast and increase the plundering of the resources of the Northeast.

But Chiang Kai-shek was eager to win, and did not accept An Yi's bitter advice at all, and was provoked by An Yi and unceremoniously replied to a telegram of only eight words: If you are not in it, do not seek your own government!

An Yi was extremely disappointed when he received the telegram, so he could only keep his mouth shut and endure the anxiety and pain of his heart. ran to Shangnan to do the work of the regiment commander, and personally commanded the troops to carry out fierce blows against the bandits of various departments. Several times he raised his rifle and rushed to the front line of the battle to fight, which frightened the division commander Zhao Dongquan and the accompanying generals into a plural, but it was Lin Yaodong, the head of the guard, and Fang Pengxiang, the head of the special service regiment, and other brothers who were so happy. They all picked up their weapons and followed An Yi into battle, applauding loudly for An Yi's accurate marksmanship and cunning command.

In less than ten days, An Yi led his troops to beat several stubborn bandits who had been wandering around Shaanxi and southwest Henan for many years to the ground, and they were wiped out, frightening the surrender of more than a dozen bandits and small bandits around them, and the escape of those who fled, and the more than ten counties and towns that had been chaotic for many years were stable in a blink of an eye.

On October 6, following the capture of Kaifeng by Fan Xiji's 46th Division, Jin Han Ding's 12th Division, Ruan Zhaochang's 55th Division, and Feng Yi Pei's 1st Division. Chen Cheng's 11th Division and Shangguan Yunxiang's 47th Division attacked Zhengzhou City almost at the same time, and the Northwest Army's Zhang Weiwang Division, Ren Yingqi Division, Na Baoshan Division, Feng Zhi'an Division, and Tian Jinkai Division were trapped in the Xinzheng line and became a turtle in the urn, Liang Guanying, the general of the Northwest Army who guarded Rongyang, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately telegraphed to take up the post of commander-in-chief of Jiang Zhongzheng's 25th Road, and the generals of the Northwest Army in other places also laid down their weapons and threw themselves under Chiang Kai-shek, and even Shi Yousan, who fled to the north bank of the Yellow River, also telegraphed to obey the central government. Disarmed and incorporated all the divisions of the Jin Sui Army that had withdrawn to northern Henan, and secretly pleaded with Chiang Kai-shek by his brother Han Fuqu to repent.

The Northwest Army, which had dominated northern China for many years and had more than 400,000 troops, fell apart, and the Central Plains War was decided and slowly came to an end.

The central government immediately appointed Liu Zhi, Zhang Suo, Wan Wu and other seven people as members of the Henan Provincial Government, and Liu Zhi was the provincial director; After Chiang Kai-shek helped Liu Zhi to a tall man, he reappointed He Yingqin as the director of the Zhengzhou camp and acted as the commander-in-chief; He Chengdan, commander of the Third Army Corps, was appointed as the temporary director of the Wuhan camp. Yang Hucheng's department was appointed to expand into the Shaanxi Salvation Army. Jiang Ding's Ministry of Culture was expanded into the Zhenglong Army, which was stationed in Shaanxi and Gansu by railway, and the rest of the army divisions went south. All efforts were made to annihilate the rapidly growing Red Army everywhere.

As a result, the unused generals such as Gu Zhutong, Jin Handing, and Wang Jun, who had worked hard and made high achievements, were extremely dissatisfied, and the potential contradictions within the Central Army became increasingly acute as a result.

Jiang Dingwen, who had bid farewell to his two divisions and went west to Shaanxi and Gansu, took the train to Huangguan Station, and An Yi, who had returned in a hurry, led dozens of generals and colonels of the Fifth Army Corps to the platform in advance to greet Jiang Dingwen and the senior brothers of Huang Du from various divisions and brigades.

After greeting each other, Jiang Dingwen took An Yi's cigarette and lit it, took a few deep breaths, and sighed with a sad face:

"The brothers have been miserable, I don't know when they will come back, the foolish brother originally thought that he could lead his troops back to Jiangxi to recuperate, but now he was assigned to Luoyang, under Liu Jingfu and He Jingzhi, he was a small commander of the western section of Longhai Road. The brothers under his command have been fighting for life and death for several months, and the officers and soldiers at all levels have almost changed half, but they still have to drive to the northwest border of the long yellow sand. ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, Mo Dao has no confidant in the future, who in the world doesn't know you?" The opportunity to expand the territory and make contributions has arrived, and the younger brother envy you from the bottom of my heart! Big brother, don't worry, Luoyang is the thousand-year-old ancient capital. Outstanding people, peony flowers bloom every year as beautiful as clouds, Peng stays to nourish the body and enjoy the blessings, the business of the little brother for you to look at the heart "control."

The brothers burst into laughter, and then scolded An Yi one after another, and Jiang Dingwen's chief of staff, Li Jiawen, said angrily: "Brother An, our brothers are not as good as you!" For my brother, I heard that the 6 regiments will be revoked, only the elder brother's commander of the five corps is still steady, sitting in Yichang to control Jingxiang, guarding the throat of the Yangtze River, eating and drinking spicy food every day is not counted, and the monthly anti-smoking tax income is not one million but also eight hundred thousand, right? ”

All the senior brothers echoed the voice, some shouted and shouted indignantly, and some sighed and complained that their lives were not good, which made An Yi's head big, and suddenly raised his hand and shouted that the little brother knew that he was wrong. Then he took Jiang Dingwen's hand and shouted that he wanted to put on the wine for the brothers and soldiers.

Jiang Dingwen raised his wrist and looked at his watch, saying that it was too late for the train to leave soon, An Yi frowned unhappily, turned to Zhao Rui and ordered loudly:

"Please call Senior Brother Yin immediately, and ask him to demolish the iron bridge and railroad tracks between Huayin and Huangguan, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he won't give time for a glass of wine" Zhang Yang informed the logistics department to bring all the wine and food to the platform, and informed all the restaurants in Huangguan City that they must send me the best wine and food here within an hour, this train has 3,000 brothers, so it will be done according to the weight of 3,000 brothers, and if it is not enough, we will get it from our big camp, and transport all the canned food in the warehouse here to distribute it to the brothers. ”

Zhao Rui agreed with a smile but didn't do it immediately. Turning to the adjutant, he quietly instructed him to inform the station. Asking the train to stay for two more hours, Zhang Yang immediately obeyed the order.

Jiang Dingwen and the others saw An Yi so domineering. is so bold, and he is no longer in a hurry to leave, especially Jiang Dingwen, who sent the brothers to Huangguan is also very affectionate, and he has to rush back to Luoyang to deal with various military affairs and set up his own garrison headquarters team.

In less than an hour, the entire platform was filled with food, trucks brought in precious canned meat, quickly unloaded the trucks, and stacked them at the door of one carriage, ten tables of exquisite wine and food with tempting aromas.

Jiang Dingwen and the others curiously asked An Yi where did he get so much meat? An Yi smiled but didn't answer, Zhao Rui hurriedly explained that they were all wild donkeys that were caught in the previous period of suppressing bandits, and there was a pot of stewed crispy tiger meat on each table, this tiger was hit by An Yi, and the tiger skin made of nets was hung in the headquarters.

The brothers were surprised when they heard this, Jiang Dingwen pointed to the unloaded cans and asked An Yi why he didn't leave some for himself? An Yi smiled politely, and said that tomorrow, the entire Fifth Army will also retreat south, and instead of bringing it back with all the painstaking efforts, it is better to give it to the brothers on the expedition, which can be regarded as a little expression.

Two hours passed quickly, and the 3,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition boarded the train and gratefully waved to An Yi and the officers and men of the Fifth Army who were silently seeing off on the platform. Thank you loudly.

Jiang Dingwen stood beside An Yi with a painful expression. His eyes were flushed, and he silently stared at the slowly moving train, staring at the familiar faces.

Since the outbreak of the Central Plains War, Jiang Dingwen led his troops to fight endlessly, successively defeated Ji Hongchang, Liang Guanying and other brave broadsword teams, running in Longhai, Pinghan, Jinpu battlefields, where there is danger to rush to where, for the victory to make great contributions at the same time also heavy casualties, the divisions under the command of the Second Army fought frequently, and the soldiers were replaced and supplemented as many as more than 20,000 people. Now that the brothers who are fighting side by side and sharing life and death have gone to Shaanxi and Gansu, how can they not make Jiang Dingwen nostalgic and sad?

Jiang Dingwen is not the only one who is nostalgic and sad.

On the night of the same day, the people of Henan and Shaanxi, who learned that the An Jiajun was going to withdraw to western Hubei, rushed out, and the people of Huangguan, Huayin, Baoling, Luonan and other places surrounded the various camps, and the emotional thanks and reluctant tears made the officers and men of the Fifth Army burst into tears and could not calm down all night.

The officers and men of the divisions and brigades had to go out of the barracks. Thanking the old folks, and saying goodbye to the old folks, I tried my best to appease them.

At this time, the officers and men of the Fifth Army finally understood what is the situation of the army and the people, what is the people's soldiers, and finally understood the true meaning and endless emotions in the song of the First Army.

At six o'clock in the morning the next day, An Yi, who changed into a military uniform and planned to leave as soon as possible, saw Zhao Rui and others hurriedly entering his bedroom, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

The villagers and representatives from all walks of life at the front of the crowd stood silently holding red and dazzling pennants in their hands, and when they saw An Yi appear, the crowd immediately shouted: "General An, stay!" An Jiajun stayed

An Yi slowly walked in front of the villagers and representatives from all walks of life. Try your best to squeeze out a smile, telling everyone that the war is over, the brothers of the Fifth Army need to return to their original station, and the soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and they can't stay for a long time, so please forgive me!

Before the words fell, the sound of crying rang out, the white old man, the ragged women and children immediately knelt down, and several Ben Confucians, wearing reading glasses, looked up to the sky and prayed loudly, praising An Yi and praising An Jiajun's virtue and benevolence, and the desolate voice was instantly drowned out by the earth-shattering crying and bitter voice.

An Yi endured his grief and strode forward to help the old people up, but the people just couldn't afford to kneel. The voice called.

An Yi was choked and speechless, and there was nothing to do for a while. took three steps backwards, suddenly knelt down, respectfully kowtowed to the fathers and fellow villagers nine times in a row, stood up, quickly turned around, strode into the barracks, and closed the room."
