Chapter 5 Breaking the Cocoon and Flapping Wings to Dominate the Industry (6)

Inside and outside the Baoding military station, heavy troops gathered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

More than 20,000 officers and men wearing summer camouflage training uniforms and steel helmets, and fully armed were rapidly assembling at the sound of commands from commanders at all levels, and more than 80 military heavy trucks towing artillery were neatly lined up in two phalanxes, and in front of each heavy truck, there was a squad of officers and men standing in a solemn formation.

In the military station, on a one-meter-high platform in front of a row of tall warehouses on the north side, eight generals stood neatly with gloomy faces.

Hu Jialin, the new commander of the 17th Army in the center, had a hard stubble on his face that seemed to stand up at root, and a pair of eyes under the towering eyebrow bones shot out a cold cold light, although the upper lip and full beard concealed the true expression on his face, but the compelling momentum exuded by his tall and erect body deeply suppressed the generals around him and the more than 30 school officers who stood neatly waiting for orders.

Among the eight generals, three were wearing brown and yellow general uniforms, all standing to the right of Hu Jialin and the generals wearing training uniforms and steel helmets, and the tall and bespectacled one was the new commander of the Beiping garrison, Lieutenant General Xu Tingyao; The burly and peaceful one is Lieutenant General Yang Jie; The short and young lieutenant general on the side is Yin Jinan, the former commander of the 24th Army and one of the founders of the model battalion.

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Yin Jinan, who was still in the building of the Military and Political Commission of Beiping City to deal with many aftermath matters after the evacuation of various units of the Anjia Army from the North China front, was suddenly called to the office of General He Yingqin, chairman of the Beiping Military and Political Committee.

He Yingqin first asked with a pleasant face whether the finishing work of the 24 th Army, the two divisions of the Hunan Army, and the one division of the Yunnan Army had gone smoothly after all the evacuations, and whether all the retired officers and men who had been dismissed on the spot had been properly arranged. After receiving a satisfactory reply, He Yingqin took out the telegram issued by Commander-in-Chief Chiang and announced to Yin Jinan very seriously:

"Lieutenant General Yin Jinan is hereby appointed as Deputy Director of the Training Directorate Department of the Central Military Commission. Sincerely. It is hereby appointed! Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Jiang Zhongzheng. ”

He Yingqin announced the completion of the announcement, stuffed the letter of appointment into the hands of Yin Jinan, who was in a sluggish state, once again emphasized the demeanor that a revolutionary soldier should have, and then took out the order signed by He Yingqin, handed it to Yin Jinan, sadly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and earnestly advised:

"Jinan, you are a model among the young generation of generals in our army, and the pride of my Huangpu, I am very reluctant to let you leave, but I can't keep a handsome man like you! Let's go and handle the handover work, fortunately, half of the 24th Army has been discharged, the wounded and sick have already been sent back to the rear hospitals in Nanchang and southern Sichuan, and the remaining 20,000 officers and soldiers of the three divisions have gone south in advance, and it is estimated that they are almost back to their stations in southern Sichuan, and the withdrawal of the Hunan army and the Yunnan army is also very smooth, and now the adjutant and the guards around you are less than 50 people, it is very convenient to go anywhere, I have ordered Beiping Station to leave a wagon for you and Zhao Rui, and set off within 24 hours. After reporting to Nanjing, you'd better rush to Nanchang as soon as possible to meet the commissioner, and if you have any questions, you can directly raise them with the commission. ”

Almost at the same time, Yang Jie, who was about to return to Nanjing, and Xu Tingyao, the new commander of the Beiping garrison, rushed to the Baoding military station in the dust, summoned Hu Jialin, deputy commander of the 17th Army and commander of the independent division, and Lu Yixuan, commander of the 17th Division, to announce a series of new appointments by the Central Military Commission:

Hu Jialin, lieutenant general and deputy commander of the 17th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was promoted to army commander, and still concurrently served as the commander of the independent division, and the headquarters of the 17th Army and the independent division were stationed in Baoding; Major General Huang Yingwu, Party Representative and Chief of the Political Training Section of the Independent Division, was promoted to Director of the Political Department and Chief of the Political Training Division of the 17th Army; promoted to Major General Lu Yixuan, commander of the 17th Division, deputy commander of the 17th Army, still concurrently serving as the commander of the 17th Division, and the 17th Division is stationed in Cangzhou; The 40th Division of Major General Yang Jiuxiao is under the command of the 17th Army, and the whole division needs to leave Langfang within three days and be stationed in Hengshui, and the headquarters of the 40th Division is set up in Hengshui County; From the date of promulgation of the order, the 17th Army, as a direct force of the central government, has independent divisions, 17th divisions, and 40th divisions under its jurisdiction, and has been stationed in Baoding, Cangzhou, and Hengshui areas for a long time, and is fully responsible for all military management and defense affairs in the three places; Since the date of the promulgation of the explicit order, the Baoding military station has been changed from a military station directly under the Central Military Commission to a military station directly under the 17th Army.

Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Huang Yingwu, Lu Yixuan, and others did not know what was wrong and why Chairman Chiang would make such an arrangement, and almost all of them immediately telegraphed these sudden appointments to An Yi in southern Sichuan, asking him to immediately get in touch with the Central Military Commission and revoke the series of orders as soon as possible, so that the brothers in various departments could return to their original stations.

Three hours later, An Yi's reply telegram flew to Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin and others, and the content of the telegram was very euphemistic:

"My brother (my brother), I have received the call! It is good to hear that Senior Brother Zhao Rui was also promoted, replacing the younger brother as the director of the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters; Zhang Yang, the former director of the Quartermaster Logistics Division of the Corps, was promoted to major general and chief of the General Affairs Division of the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters. After several years of fighting, the brothers made great achievements, and it was only natural that they would be promoted and take charge of their own affairs. I sincerely hope that all the brothers will have the courage to shoulder the heavy responsibilities for the great cause of the party and the country, put the interests of the country and the nation first, and do their utmost to ensure the security of the homeland and the peace of the people in North China, and ensure the peace and stability that tens of millions of brothers in all parts of our army have won with their blood, sweat, lives, and hardships! ”

An Yi's reply made everyone understand that Chairman Chiang's order could no longer be changed, and the generals of the An Jiajun who were stranded on the front line in North China gathered at the Baoding military station to discuss how to deal with it. After a night of secret consultation and repeated analysis, the brothers finally determined that Chairman Jiang was going to take action against An Jiajun, and at the same time, they once again saw An Yi's good intentions and his noble qualities of enduring humiliation and taking care of the overall situation for the country and the people.

All the brothers understood the truth, but when the matter came, everyone's hearts were extremely painful, and everyone clearly realized that Chairman Chiang's long-term stationing of the Independent Division, the 17th Division, and the 40th Division in North China was undoubtedly an important and effective measure to break up the Anjia Army. Including the transfer of Yin Jinan, the second commander of the An Jia Army and commander of the 24 th Army, to the Central Military Commission's Training Director Department as deputy director, all of which were one of the means used by Chairman Chiang to suppress and attack the An Jia Army, and in one fell swoop cut off the connection between Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan, and Yang Jiuxiao, the three main divisions with outstanding achievements and strong combat effectiveness, and the southern Sichuan troops loyal to An Yi.

The second is the high-sounding reason that Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao relayed: The newly formed 17th Army is a heroic unit directly under the Central Committee of our country, and the officers and men of the three divisions are mostly from the northern provinces, which are more suitable for the climatic conditions, geographical environment, and customs of the north, and the 17th Army is stationed in North China and guards the throat of the communication between the two rivers and Jilu, which can better serve the rule of the central government and play a huge role in supervising and deterring the military groups of various departments in the north.

Understanding the purpose of Chairman Chiang's series of orders, Hu Jialin and others also understood An Yi's pain and helplessness, and understood how difficult and heavy An Yi's "heartfelt hope" in the telegram was.

At this moment, Hu Jialin, Yin Jinan, Lu Yixuan, Huang Yingwu, Zhao Rui, and Yang Jiuxiao stood on the high platform with a heavy face, silently looking down on the soldiers under their command to assemble the whole army and go to their respective stations, with a faint pain in their hearts and words of suffering.

Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao, who were standing on the high platform with the six generals of An Jiajun, were also very uncomfortable.

After announcing Chairman Jiang's order, Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao were very worried that the army would mutiny, and they were worried that the three fierce elite division generals would also be the same as Gu Maniac and Xia Maniac of the 24th Army.

This morning, Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan, and Huang Yingwu took the initiative to find the apprehensive "special envoy" Xu Tingyao, handed An Yi's reply to the two of them for a look, and then calmly expressed their resolute obedience to the orders of the Central Military Commission.

The statements of Hu Jialin and others made Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao feel at ease, and at the same time, they were also full of gratitude and admiration for An Yi, who had a deep friendship with them, and at the same time, they were very clear that An Yi was still profoundly influencing every unit of An Jiajun, and this influence was most obvious in the 24th Army established by An Yi.

Since the 24th Army arrived on the battlefield in North China, whether it was fighting with the Japanese or with friendly forces, from generals to soldiers, it has never suffered a loss; After the Luanhe counterattack on the Eastern Front, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Northeast Army on the 200-kilometer defense line did not dare to take the initiative to provoke the Japanese on the opposite side under the strict orders of the Beiping Military and Political Committee, but Gu Changfeng, deputy commander of the 24th Army, who was temporarily acting in command, and the two division commanders of the 16th and 39th Divisions were pure madmen. Gu Madman pushed over with a word: Little Japan of the dog day shoots cold guns at us every day, why don't you grandson let them follow the verbal armistice agreement?

One sentence made no one able to get off the stage, and Gu Maniac and others have made outstanding achievements because of their successive battles, and the enemies they have slaughtered with their own hands are not one hundred or fifty, and all of them are not under the bureaucrats of the General Headquarters, and they are old-fashioned and domineering when they speak, and they can spit on you in the face if they are in a hurry, and they don't give face at all, and no one can do anything about them.

He Yingqin and the bureaucrats at the headquarters didn't dare to offend Gu Maniac and others too much, let alone talk about any military law, because behind the 24th Army was the smiling tiger An Yi, which annoyed An Yi, who was extremely protective, and he could make you run off food and pay with a smile, and it would also make you worry about it for a long time in the future, in case he didn't know when he launched a plot, and if he was in a bad mood, it was possible for him to be beaten up in front of everyone.

It is precisely because of this that the 24th Army has always given He Yingqin, Yang Jie and others a headache, but in the face of the arrogant and domineering Japanese invaders, they cannot miss a fierce general like Gu Madman - it is precisely because of the reckless and bloody revenge of the three divisions of the 24th Army that the Japanese army on the opposite side has been much more restrained.

But after the armistice agreement was signed, it was different, and letting the 24th Army stay was simply a disaster, so much so that as soon as the agreement was signed, He Yingqin immediately ordered the 24th Army to withdraw first.

Immediately after the three divisions of the 24 th Army made their own way out of the army, and then collected more than a dozen trains and left as if no one was around, He Yingqin and a group of army bosses of the Beiping Military and Political Committee not only did not get angry, but felt that it was better to leave and go cleanly, otherwise they did not know how many things they would have to do.

At present, the 24 th Army is gone, but the neat queue is full of officers and men adhering to the spirit of the "model battalion," all outstanding officers and men with strict discipline and tenacious work style who bear the glorious title of "iron-blooded heroic division," and all elite units subordinate to the 17 th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

But Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao both know deeply that this heroic army has also left a deep imprint of the "An Family Army", and also has the indomitable iron-blooded spirit of the officers and men of the 24th Army, the only difference is that the generals who lead this army are all from the elite of the Huangpu lineage, so they are a little more restrained and a little more subtle than the 24th Army with a distinctive personality and a hot personality.

……

Southern Sichuan Xufu, the headquarters of the Anjia Army at the foot of Cuiping Mountain.

After two days of heated discussions, the reorganization plan was preliminarily completed, and the original five garrison divisions, totaling 80,000 officers and men, were reduced to more than 38,000 men in seven brigades.

The readjusted garrison brigade has three infantry regiments, an engineer battalion, and an artillery battalion under its jurisdiction, with a total of 5,000 officers and men; the 1st to 5th brigades are still stationed in Changning, Naxi, Gaoxian, Luzhou, and Syria, and the newly formed 6th brigade has completed the expansion of the highway and is undergoing large-scale construction in Xuyong County. The Seventh Brigade quietly marched into the Hejiang area of Luzhou, where there was originally only one garrison regiment, and was responsible for monitoring and guarding Liu Xiang's troops in the border area of Luzhou and Chongqing. Secondly, the original Jiangfang Garrison Brigade was officially renamed the Jiangfang Garrison Command, and three regiment-level brigades were added, which were stationed in Hejiang in the lower reaches of Luzhou, Gubai in the middle reaches of the Minjiang River, and Xuyong, an ancient city known as the barrier in southern Sichuan.

At the beginning of the meeting, the brothers were extremely angry at Chairman Chiang's bad methods of weakening and suppressing their own army, and one by one they were filled with righteous indignation and shouted for a break with the Central Committee. Subsequently, under An Yi's eloquent persuasion, everyone gradually came to their senses, and understood that at this time, as long as they openly turned against the central government controlled by Chairman Jiang, it was very likely to trigger a large-scale civil war that affected the whole country, not to mention that the two Lius in central Sichuan were inseparable again, nor the protracted mutual conquest between Sheng Shicai and Ma Jiajun in the northwest, but only the areas that are still barely stable in the country:

First of all, Liangguang and Fujian will definitely set up separate central governments because of the rebellion of the An Jiajun; Second, Feng Yuxiang's troops, who had already occupied most of Zhangbei and Suicha, would certainly immediately announce the formation of a new government; Third, the Song Zheyuan Army, which had gathered under the banner of the central government to fight against foreign humiliation, the Northeast Army, and the Yan Xishan Army, which had long coveted the territory of North China, would surely fall apart and start the war again; The Hebei People's Self-Defense Coalition Army, a traitor secretly supported by the Japanese, has already occupied half of Tangshan, and if it hears of the rebellion in southern Sichuan, it will definitely declare independence......

As long as the An Jiajun raises an anti-flag, not to mention victory or defeat, the whole country is destined to be in chaos, and the melee of the warlords that affected the whole country in the early stage of the Northern Expedition and pushed hundreds of millions of people into misery will be repeated, and the land of China will be in flames of war, and the lives of people will be devastated.

At that time, even if the An Jiajun army is helped by heaven and is lucky enough to conquer the huge territory including Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan, the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders may have crossed the Yellow River and approached the Yangtze River, and the European and American powers, which have been looking down on the wolf for a hundred years, will take advantage of the situation and frantically grab the territory, the Eight-Nation Alliance and even the Sixteen-Nation Alliance will once again step into the land of China's suffering, countless butcher knives and muzzles will be aimed at the innocent people who are suffering deeply, and tens of thousands of local warlords will be for their own interests. Under the coercion and temptation of the Japanese and foreign powers, they will become traitors and lackeys, and act as the vanguard of the slaughter of their own compatriots.

In this way, not only An Yi will become the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages, but also the An Jiajun who has been fighting for several years and finally strengthened with the blood and heads of tens of thousands of brothers, and the An Jiajun who once carried the good hopes of countless people, will become the public enemy of the country and the nation in the blink of an eye, and become a historical sinner who has been stinking for thousands of years.

After the brothers who were drenched in cold sweat returned to their senses, all the knots in their hearts that had been depressed before were resolved, one by one humbly admitted their mistakes, corrected their attitudes, and turned the humiliation into motivation to rise up, and all the work suddenly became smooth and efficient, and several old brothers who suddenly became brigade commanders from division commanders no longer had any loss and resistance, and all respectfully expressed that they would conscientiously devote themselves to the cause of serving the country and the people.

An Yi was deeply comforted by the conversion of the brothers, although he was also extremely angry in his own heart, and his heart was full of-for-tat impulses for revenge. However, for the sake of the future of An Jiajun, for the helpless people who finally saw the war subside and had hope for tomorrow's life, for the Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guizhou border regions that have finally stepped onto the development track with all their efforts, as well as dozens of counties in the western and western regions of Guizhou, and the beautiful tomorrow that tens of millions of people are eagerly looking forward to, An Yi can only bury all his grief and anger deep in his heart and turn it into greater motivation and higher wisdom to lead his army and people. Embark on a brighter path of development.

After three days of intense discussions and repeated trade-offs, the think-tanks who held the economic conference in secret at the same time finally bridged their differences, reached a consensus, and developed a complete and flexible set of guiding principles, which everyone will follow in the subsequent economic development.

This is the purpose of An Yi's pursuit. He does not demand that every subordinate general who is in charge of his own side do it in strict accordance with his An Yi's intentions, which is impossible and unrealistic, An Yi only asks everyone to get together to reach a common compliance standard, which is far more reasonable and scientific than an obedient and obedient person, and will have a far-reaching impact and huge promotion on the future of the economic kingdom that they share.

The think tanks said goodbye to An Yi and left quietly, with An Yi's respect and trust, and returned to their respective territories with confidence, only Lao Shoudao and Zhou Chongan stayed. The two changed into civilian clothes and traveled together, and during the two days when An Yi was deeply involved in the military conference, they inspected the Xuyong region, which An Yi particularly emphasized and included in the next priority development.

In Xuyong, the two met with Robert Murphy, the chief expert of the Geology and Mineral Resources Bureau hired by An Yi with a high salary. After Mason, Lao Shoudao and Zhou Chongan agreed with An Yi's decision without disagreement:

In three and a half months, the three exploration teams led by Professor Mason not only discovered the largest pyrite deposit in China so far, but also were pleasantly surprised to find that the whole of Xuyong is full of pure high-quality limestone, which can be collected to produce the best quality cement in China and even in Asia. What is even more rare is that the wide range and huge reserves of high-quality anthracite coal can be easily detected in the ancient Syrian region in the territory, and there are dozens of high-drop rivers with abundant flow and can build at least seven small and medium-sized hydropower stations, all of which are enough to lay a solid foundation for Xuyong's important industrial position in the future.

Moreover, the highway from Xuyong to Xufu has been expanded, and the Yongning River waterway from Xuyong to Luzhou has been used for thousands of years; At the same time, this important area known as the southern Sichuan barrier for thousands of years, has an important military strategic position, the ancient city borders Gulin in the east, connects with Bijie County in Guizhou in the south, borders Yunnan in the west, and Naxi and other places in the north, goes down the river in the northeast, goes directly to Hejiang and Chishui in Guizhou, and communicates with Zhenxiong and Weixin Road in Yunnan in the southwest.

When night fell, when An Yi rushed home, the dishes on the table had already been set.

Lao Shoudao, who had a beautiful long beard, hugged Cheng Cheng on his lap, and talked in a low voice, and Zhou Chong'an, who was happy and polite, was communicating with Xiao Xinghua, and chatted happily with his sister-in-law Feng Jieyun from time to time.

When everyone saw An Yi and Jiang Yunshan coming in side by side, they immediately stopped talking and walked quickly to greet them.

Lao Shoudao and Jiang Yunshan hugged their fists and sympathized with each other, Zhou Chongan stood aside and met each other politely, Xiao Xinghua had already rushed to An Yi's side and grabbed his father's hand, Xiao Chengcheng drilled past An Yi and Lieutenant General Shen Fengdao, got into Lin Yaodong's arms, and asked in Cantonese when to take him to see the target?

After a burst of laughter, everyone sat around and raised their glasses to drink for this rare gathering. Only the two little ones were quite disappointed, and they had to sit around the other table with Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun.

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Shoudao, who never praised people easily, said with great relief: "Brother Yucheng, my kid has made a lot of progress under your tutelage, just by his words to suppress the generals under his command, I am completely relieved!" You don't know, when I learned about President Jiang's series of measures, I was really worried that he would do the wrong thing in a fit of anger that he regretted for the rest of his life......"

Jiang Yunshan immediately put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Brother Dao has praised it, the commander's strategy and rhetoric in dealing with this incident, there is nothing for the junior brother, it is the commander who has a broad mind and a lofty vision, and is not swayed by temporary gains and losses and momentary joy and anger, congratulations!" In fact, speaking of which, Brother Dao still teaches well, haha...... Alas! Brother Dao, you said that you are such a masterpiece, if the younger brother is not willing to follow him, I am afraid that he will have to regret it for the rest of his life. ”

Lao Shoudao's eyebrows fluttered, he laughed happily, raised his wine glass and toasted Jiang Yunshan very elegantly.

Zhou Chongan also raised his wine glass with a cheerful face, touched An Yi lightly, raised his head and drank it all. Through several days of secret meetings and two days of continuous running, he was full of confidence in the future of the entire group, and the worries in his originally suppressed heart were swept away, and Zhou Chongan was pleasantly surprised to see that An Yi finally completely got rid of the last trace of youth and quickly grew into an excellent leader.

When the wine was half-drunk, Lao Shoudao looked at An Yi and asked in a low voice, "Where are Hutou and Xia Jian at this time?" ”

Since the flood waters had not receded, the ship moved to Yichang and took the overland route, marching all the way back from the territory of Zhang Hongluan's predecessors. I calculated that it would take seven or eight days to pass through Daozhen, where Brother Cunqiang's 3rd Division of the 44th Army was stationed, through Brother Shi Zhen's Xishui, and then enter our Hejiang. An Yi replied.

Lao Shoudao nodded: "Listening to Du Yi's kid, the bandits armed spears at the junction of Sichuan and Hunan will be very happy, not only do they not give face to Zhang Hongluan, the king of Xiangxi, but also often drill into Liu Xiang's Qijiang River to grab a few, even our caravan has been robbed twice, is this true?" ”

An Yi grinned: "Uncle, do you want Tiger Head and Xia Jian to destroy this evil spear by the way?" ”

Lao Dao nodded and smiled, no longer speaking, Jiang Yunshan asked quite cautiously: "I heard that in the past half a year, the strength of the rapidly rising Red Army Huang Han Department has become stronger and stronger, and it has attacked Liu Chengfu's Nanchuan City three times, and Liu Chengfu's eastern Sichuan troops have suffered heavy losses and lost face, which should not be underestimated!" I have a question, will the Huang Han Department collude with the Sharpshooter Society, but only keep out of contact with each other on the surface, so as to hide people's eyes and ears? ”

An Yi smiled slightly, he knew that Jiang Yunshan didn't know Huang Han's background, and there were only three people in the entire An Jiajun who knew this secret, including Lao Dao and Zhou Chongan.

However, An Yi didn't want to tell this secret, pondered for a while, and replied with some uncertainty: "There is this possibility, at present, one of our special detachments has infiltrated the area from the Heavenly God Temple to Shishiling, and it is estimated that the results will come soon." If this magic spear will be really incorrigible, we don't care what his background is, after all, the Xiangqianchuan business road was developed by our three allies with huge manpower and material resources and a year and a half of time, who dares to touch our property and threaten our interests, even if he is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu will destroy him. Now that the brothers are just angry, they can't wait to find a place to vent, and the spear will crash into the door by itself, so don't blame the brothers for being unkind. ”

Jiang Yunshan and Lao Shoudao glanced at each other, Lao Shoudao waved his hand, and said softly: "Such a trivial matter, let's leave him alone, just let the young man worry about it." It is also a good choice if you can take this opportunity to warn Xiaoxiao and deter the Quartet. Come, Brother Yucheng, I'll toast you again, if you are free, you can get Lao Nanchang to walk, there is our birthplace, many workers and managers in southern Sichuan are trained there, many measures and systems are worth learning, when the time comes, I will do the east, haha......"
