More than 100 regimental-level officials from various military camps inside and outside Nanyang City received urgent orders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The rice bowl of the ancient brother is fully dressed, the horseback riding, the running running, all gathered in the spacious and solemn palace hall for half an hour.
Zhu Shigui, who was sitting on the rostrum, glanced around. asked An Yi in a low voice: "Why didn't Lao Shen arrive?" It was as if he hadn't been seen for a few days. ”
An Yi replied in a low voice: "Lao Shen is from Wudang, I will let him go back after Nanyang, although he has been promoted to major general, but this time it can be regarded as a return to his hometown, after leaving the division and hometown for so many years, it is time to go back and see."
"Oh" I see! It's still thoughtful, brother, I haven't been home for ten years, when will I have to go back to see" Zhu Shigui nodded with emotion.
An Yi said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, when this battle is over, how about I transfer your department to Anshun to garrison?" It's closer to home and it's much easier to go back. ”
"Anshun?"
Zhu Shigui looked at An Yi in surprise, and suddenly understood something from An Yi's smiling and slightly nodding demeanor, and slapped An Yi's thigh with excitement, and shouted loudly in "Dian dialect": "it, Lao Tzu has been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”
An Yi grinned in pain, pushed Zhu Shigui away, and scolded in a low voice in anger, and the nearly two hundred brothers below only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and then saw An Yi's face full of pain, and they were all so frightened that they stopped talking.
Zhu Shigui showed his gaffe at this time, smiled, stood up and pointed to the generals and colonels in the audience: "What do you see?" Listen to my command and sit down."
There was a sound of "bang-la-la", and more than 100 generals straightened their chests and pulled their backs, solemnly seated, without a catty. Dare to squeak.
Escorted by officers and men of a company of the Central Guard Force, more than 60 Chinese and foreign reporters sailed up the Yangtze River from Nanjing on an armed transport ship of the Yangtze River Fleet. He stayed in Wuhan for one night, and the next morning he transferred to the Han River and went to Xiangfan for an interview.
This war correspondent corps, which was repeatedly applied for by reporters from five European and American countries and organized by the Central Party Department in Nanjing, received great attention from Chiang Kai-shek and the presidents of the Fifth Academy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specially sent two division chiefs to accompany them. Before leaving, Chen Lifu, secretary general of the Central Party Department, Zhu Peide, chief of staff who stayed in Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was on the front line of Guide, personally called An Yi. An Yi and the officers and men of the Fifth Army Corps were asked to receive them warmly. To properly handle them, we must satisfactorily accomplish the three political tasks.
The three political tasks are: to maintain the justice of the revolutionary war; Maintain the image of the party-state and the image of the revolutionary army; Carry forward the excellent deeds of the central government in disaster relief and disaster relief, and keep the people in mind consistently.
The Yichang camp, which was ordered to give full assistance in receiving the delegation's interviews, also sent the deputy director of the political department and other officials to Nanyang to discuss specific reception and propaganda matters with the Political Department of the Fifth Army Corps, and demanded that slogans and banners be hung up and that the people be organized to conduct surprise education in order to cope with the interviews of Chinese and foreign reporters.
The director of the Political Department of the Legion, Major General Zhan Zhi, knew An Yi's temper very well, and politely rejected the request of the officials of the Yichang Camp Administration Office, saying that in addition to increasing propaganda, everything should go with the flow. The deputy director of the political department begged bitterly, and hurriedly asked to see the commander of the corps An Yi, An Yi saw that Zeng Guangqing's face received the doctor of political science who had returned from studying in France, and was annoyed when he heard him say that he refused his request, and ordered him to leave the war zone immediately and return to Yichang.
The deputy director didn't expect An Yi, who has always been good-tempered, to issue an eviction order, so he was so frightened that he said goodbye, and found Zhan to ask what was going on? Zhan Zhi reluctantly told him: The commander can tolerate other things, but he can't tolerate deception and deception, and a few promising officers in the army. It was precisely because of this taboo that he was removed from his post and investigated, and finally driven out of the Fifth Army.
Unwilling to be defeated, the Northwest Army hastily mobilized troops and rushed to Luoyang, Songxian and Shangnan. The Temporary Second Division stationed in Luoyang was routed by An Yi by a brigade in the Battle of Nanyang and saw the arrival of the army. Immediately following the operational guiding ideology of "actively defending and waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy" issued by the General Headquarters of the Northwest Army, and under the inspiration of the excellent deeds of General Zheng Dazhang, commander of the cavalry, in his night attack on the Guide airfield, he gathered enough 800 cavalry and quietly dispatched to make a detour through the Shirenshan wilderness road in the southeast of Song County, and suddenly attacked the 13th and 13th Divisions of the 44th Division stationed in Zhenping with an indomitable momentum. brigade, trying to thunderbolt the means. Drop one or three in one fell swoop. Brigade Command.
At dawn, eight hundred elite horsemen smashed through two sparse sentry posts and rushed into the center of the town. The cavalry in front suddenly fell to the ground one after another, people turned on their backs, and the roads of the town were full of one-meter-high thick wooden stakes that were knocked deep into the ground, and a thick tripwire was tied between the wooden stakes. Bright torches were lit and flew towards the horses. On the roofs on both sides of the street, on the courtyard wall, a machine gun was suddenly erected, accurate rifle bullets flew from all directions like dense rain, in the blink of an eye, more than 100 cavalrymen fell under the horse, the frightened war horse long neighed and jumped, the cavalry who fell to the ground did not have time to get up, they were trampled by the heavy horses' hooves and howled violently, the cavalry on the horse was frightened, and some of them lifted light machine guns and flower machine guns to shoot wildly in all directions. Some of them turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives, but in the end, none of them escaped, and before they ran out of the Zhenbei bridgehead, which suddenly erected five fences with thick giant logs with waist poles, they were shot off their horses by more than 400 brothers of the special brigade who had already arrived.
In just twenty minutes, the Northwest Army's 800 elite cavalry suffered casualties, one or three. The brigade lost 11 dead and more than 30 wounded, and more than 1,300 machine guns, flower machine guns, and shell guns captured in this battle were accepted by the brigade commander Wang Xulun, and more than 600 sturdy horses were gathered, and more than 150 dead and wounded war horses were all given to the townspeople who had not eaten meat for a year, which attracted enthusiastic cheers.
Wang Xulun, who had just been promoted to major general and brigade commander, did not forget the military regulations, and sent 500 war horses to the Wollongong Division Headquarters in the west of the city to honor Gu Changfeng, and Gu Changfeng picked it out; Ten good horses were sent to the general headquarters and given to a brother, and the rest were all owned by their own special brigade.
An Yi, the commander of the legion, had no opinion on this. Instead, he rewarded Wang Xulun one:. Brigade fifty thousand oceans and fifty boxes of cigarettes, allocated to one three. The brigade has twelve places for promotion officers, and one or three are praised. The brigade fought smartly and beautifully, calling on all divisions of the corps to one or three. Brigade Learning. The officers of the Corps Administration Department sorted out this achievement and the heavy award given by Commander An Yi and brought it to the new 14th, 16th, and 17th divisions for wide publicity, and the more than 30,000 officers and men who had come to the regiment were stunned but envious.
The three new divisions of the new 14th Division, the new 16th Division, and the New 17th Division are almost all veterans of the Northwest Army, and Zhao Dongquan is in An Yi's force, and Yang Libang, the chief of staff transferred from the Ganzhong Security Command, is promoted to the commander of the new 17th Division.
From the first day of their arrival, the 38,000 brothers of the three newly formed divisions received a notice from the corps headquarters that they would not have to participate in any battles for a month. Subsequently, the officers and men did not arrange the extravagant shooting training of the Anjia Army Headquarters for a week in a row, there was no high-intensity cross-country training, and there were no complicated tactical training.
In the morning, I went out to exercise, had breakfast and had a meeting, and I remembered the bittersweet and bitter feelings, and compared the differences between the new army and the old army. Officers and soldiers were asked to take turns to share their feelings. This is followed by a rigorous and boring queue exercise; After lunch, the queue drill continued, and the whole division scraping and evaluation competition began at 4 p.m., and the best performing companies of each regiment were pulled out for a queue competition. After the competition, they will be rewarded on the spot, and they will be rewarded for learning to sing for one hour and then having dinner. After dinner, study the drill and recite military rules and discipline.
Every three days, the officers and men of the whole division gather to listen to the generals of the corps headquarters, and once every three days they go out to repair houses, carry water, clean the streets, tidy up public roads, dig thatched pits and build waiting houses, and deliver food and oil and salt to widows and children. Everyone had to talk about their own experiences, and then they had to study An Yi's speech, learn the spirit of the model battalion, and discuss the difference between their own unit and the real revolutionary army.
After the company meeting in the evening, the company commander and instructor should also send the minutes of the meeting to the divisional political office, where they will receive questions and guidance from the political chief, correct their deficiencies, correct their mistakes, and bring back to the company the new educational methods and the spirit of the new instructions, and conscientiously convey them.
Most of the company commanders of each division are outstanding grass-roots officers transferred from the Central 6th Army Military Academy and the Xiangxi Non-commissioned Officer Training Base, and a small part of them are outstanding leaders recommended by the soldiers.
An Yi and his brothers looked very relaxed, but in fact, none of them were idle, because the Nanchang base successfully broke the radio communication codes of the Northwest Army, the Gui Army and other troops, a large amount of information poured into An Yi's corps headquarters, Liu Qing's intelligence office seventy-two brothers were running loaded, and one by one the summary information was sent to An Yi's hands, so that the commanders at all levels of the Operations Department, the Political Office and the Quartermaster Department were on standby at any time.
After half a month, Liu Qing's eyes went around a lot, and there were subtle wrinkles on his brows, even Zhang Yang, the new colonel of the quartermaster department who participated in three special operations in a row and was unusually promoted, also ran so that his thighs were almost thinner, and after riding a horse, blood blisters appeared on the inner thighs, and he didn't dare to go to Tianyun Lou to pick up girls.
The reporter group who came by car from Xiangfan had arrived in Dengzhou in the south, and Zhan Zhi ran to the palace to report but did not see An Yi, and after asking where An Yi was going, he hurriedly rushed to the Nanguan military camp, and the scene on the playground made Zhan very surprised, not only the officers of the political department of each division were there, but also the deputy regimental and battalion deputy instructors of each division were also gathered here, lined up in a neat line to look up at the high platform, and followed An Yi to learn to sing new songs. Dozens of generals and colonels such as Zhao Rui, chief of staff of the headquarters, and Li Fuqiang, chief of operations, also stood neatly in the middle of the team, stretched their necks and shouted along with An Yi.
Zhan was very interesting, quietly walked to the back of the high platform, and asked the chief of the guard Lin Yaodong in a low voice: ", nine." What is this for? Interested in the Commander?
"Not to mention, the little brother has been standing here for three hours, and the commander is sweating on it. Dust is estimated to have drunk five bowls of air, just a dozen simple lyrics, and these guys have not been able to satisfy the commander even now when they sing it. If only the parrot was here, then what song can the grandson sing as long as he listens to it twice, and he teaches people very quickly and has a strong understanding, where is he so hard to use in the commander? I heard that the grandson was injured when he fought in the independent division, I don't know how he is recovering now, is it hurting his life, Lin Yaodong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Zhan Zhi smiled, and heard An Yi's slightly hoarse voice roaring: "Everyone, let's do it again one last time, if it's out of tune again." Lao Tzu doesn't teach anymore, and he will punish you for taking off your shirts and running around this small military camp for ten laps! You can't learn such a simple tune well, and you are all familiar with military rules and military discipline, so there is no reason why you can't sing it, so be honest with me, and don't desert your thoughts."
Everyone was so frightened that they all stretched their necks, and looked around to see many female soldiers passing by in the field hospital covering their mouths and snickering, and the thousands of brothers standing guard and resting all watched from afar, all of them had gloating smiles on their faces, and the generals thought that it would be a shame if they were really recorded in the public and punished for running ten laps, and it didn't matter if the jokes of the brothers under their command were spread, I was afraid that it would be uncomfortable to meet other friendly troops in the Central Army series in the future, and they all dared not slack off one by one, and they all cheered up and looked nervously at An Yi on the high platform.
An Yi threw the dried bowl of the sea to the guards behind him. Wipe your mouth and raise your hands: "All revolutionary soldiers must remember to prepare and sing."
"Revolutionary soldiers must keep in mind that they should pay attention to the three major disciplines and eight points, and first, obey the command in all actions. Winning is the only way to be victorious; Second, it is not allowed to bully the people, and to protect the family and the country is to protect the people; Third, all seizures should be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the people's burden
The singing was neat and loud, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and the thousands of officers and soldiers and nurses who watched the jokes around gradually put away their smiles and took it seriously, and the hundreds of generals and colonels who sang it completely for the first time were also very happy and satisfied.
An Yi looked around and ordered loudly: "All the officers and soldiers in the battalion listen to the order, you have seen a few catties of excitement for a few hours, it is estimated that you will all be able to sing, and now again, everyone will sing, every day." Let all the brethren of the Fifth Legion sing. We must do what we sing in this song, and become real revolutionary soldiers and real soldiers of the people! Everyone's attention, all stand up for me, stand upright, and listen to my command: all revolutionary soldiers must remember to be ready to sing! ”
The singing rang out, and the net was quite messy at first, but gradually the singing became more and more neat, and the more they sang, the louder and louder they became, and the officers and men raised their heads one by one. sang with great pride, and the earth-shattering song came from the Nanguan military camp and floated over the city for a long time,
