The internal reorganization meeting held in the name of the makeup artist was held for two consecutive nights and eight nights; With only six hours of sleep, 18 generals and colonels above the regimental level, including Yang Bin, Xia Jian, and Zhan Huanqi of the Ganzhong Security Command, and 15 chief officers of the Nanchang Garrison Division, including Yin Jinan and Ding Zhicheng, quietly arrived and gathered together with 16 new and old brothers at and above the regimental level of the Independent Division to discuss the countermeasures for the upcoming disarmament reorganization

An Yi introduced the current situation and the situation of the independent division, the garrison division, and the security forces to the brothers in detail, and emphasized the concept of "building up the security forces".

In these troubled times, without a strong military force, there will be no foundation and security guarantee for development, and since the security forces are not subject to interference in the central disarmament policy, they should quickly build them into a powerful military force on which they can survive and develop.

After intense discussions and repeated verifications, the brothers attending the meeting finally reached a unanimous consensus: The focus of army building has shifted to the security forces, and the 7,000 brothers who have been reduced from the independent division and the garrison division recruited by the Ganzhong Security Command will be fully transformed into a regular force from now on, and within six months, the 25,000-strong security force will certainly be built into a main force that can fight when called upon.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of 24 July, more than 4,500 old brothers of the Independent Division, armed with all their weapons and equipment, boarded a ship at the Jiajiang Wharf south of the Liuhe Daying, and returned to Lao Nanchang.

An Yi, Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng, and Lu Chengguang bid farewell to Yang Bin, Yin Jinan, and other brothers, and immediately returned to the ** barracks to continue to discuss matters such as the reorganization of independent divisions, the establishment of the three brigades, and the appointment of commanders at all levels.

Since An Yi was about to go north, Hu Jialin, deputy division commander, continued to act as division commander and was responsible for the reorganization and training of the independent division together with Gu Changfeng, Cheng Chengguang, Huang Yingwu and other generals, and the construction and training of the teaching regiment and cavalry regiment became the top priority of all work.

Hu Jialin and others sent An Yi to the dock, and before parting, Hu Jialin said worriedly: "General Wang Jun's Ninth Army under Uncle De, General Jin Handing's Thirty-first Army, a total of four divisions, went to Xiunan in western Jiangxi, and was ordered to encircle and suppress the Red Army, in addition to the Nanchang garrison strength remained unchanged, Jiujiang only left the Ninth Army instructor, Hukou only left the fortress artillery regiment and an infantry battalion, and the northern barrier of Nanchang De'an only left a supplementary regiment There are many hidden dangers in going on like this, it is not a long-term solution, can you talk to Uncle De and let him pay attention?" ”

An Yi replied helplessly: "Uncle De has returned to Nanchang three days ago, and he will only come back tomorrow afternoon, so it is estimated that he left in a hurry for this matter." With Uncle De's consistent neutral position, he will never agree to the two armies and four divisions under his command to go to southern and western Jiangxi to clear the Red Army, although the order to clear and suppress comes from the Central Military Commission, but if you really don't want to go, you can find a lot of excuses, but now not only go, but both armies are worried! ”

"You mean Uncle De is out of control?" Gu Changfeng asked in surprise.

An Yi nodded: "Wang Jun and Jin Handing, the two eldest brothers, are not willing to defend themselves, especially Brother Jin, who has plans to go to the next level before, although Uncle De is also willing to see the generals under his command come out of the blue, but no one expected that the two would seek independence so soon." If I guess correctly, it is very likely that Brother Wang and Brother Jin got something or a promise from the commander-in-chief, otherwise it would not be possible to be so anxious for quick success and quick profit, and said thoughtfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, the junior brother has a problem that is not unhappy, although the Ninth Army and the Thirty-first Army have received our help and have been strong for three months, they have not learned many things such as the establishment of the command system, the combined command of the arms, the education of officers and soldiers, the logistics support, and the construction of special forces. It is very difficult to exert their superiority in the mountains and complicated terrain of western and southern Jiangxi, they have no experience in mountain warfare, they cannot coordinate their heavy firepower, and they have not established qualified reconnaissance teams from all divisions to all regiments, and this battle is not easy to fight.

Secondly, their total strength was 60,000 officers and soldiers when it was full, and it would be difficult to replenish the troops if there was a slight accident, with their habits, it was difficult to recruit troops on the spot in a short period of time and form combat effectiveness, and the regional thinking from top to bottom in the army was very stubborn, and it was difficult for non-Yunnan officers and soldiers to be trusted and promoted, so their soldiers were not easy to bring, if they were defeated, Uncle De's family background might not be able to withstand it for a long time, and the brothers echoed in a loud voice, Lu Yixuan suggested to An Yi in a low voice: "Senior brother, see if you can let Uncle De take De'an." , Ruichang's front-line defense is handed over to our security forces? If feasible, it is an excellent opportunity for the construction and combat effectiveness of our security forces, and we can completely use the name of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Command to station in the main areas around Nanchang, which can not only reduce the attention of the outside world to the lowest point, but also ensure the security of the Nanchang area, and maybe our goal of controlling the northern Jiangxi region will be realized in advance. ”

An Yi nodded heavily to Lu Yixuan: "Senior brother's suggestion is very good, Zhou Province is not in the province, senior brother's idea is very likely to come true, as long as Wang Jun and Jin Handing can lead the troops to clear the Red Army, they will fall into a protracted mountain war, and it is likely that they will fall into the embarrassing situation of being unable to advance or retreat, and the troops are stretched, and it is difficult to take into account the other defense areas originally stationed."

Now it seems that it is time, we must not only control the counties around Nanchang in our hands, but also completely occupy all the counties from Jingdezhen to Yingtan, because there is currently the largest copper mine in the country, and the smelting workshop and arsenal of our agricultural machinery factory have long been eyeing that area, Jiangnan Group has been buying a few tons of copper locks from there every month to come back for processing, as long as it occupies that area, Let's build a smelter in Yugan with the Germans or the Americans. ”

"Boss, Jingdezhen is currently occupied by a regiment of the Xi Army, Yingtan is operated by Uncle De's Ninth Army, and the counties below are controlled by local militias, is it not easy to do?"

Gu Changfeng put forward his own opinions, and the other brothers also looked at An Yi and waited for an answer.

An Yi laughed: "This problem is very easy to handle, I will do everything possible to persuade the commander-in-chief and several bosses of the Military Commission to transfer the Xijun away, so that Jingdezhen can be brought back under the control of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, and then the security forces will be stationed."

A regiment of the Ninth Army in Yingtan, I will negotiate with Brother Wang Jun, we don't want Yingtan, as long as the counties north of Yingtan, as for the local militia groups, let Xia Jian's Ganzhong security forces or the special brigade of the garrison division in Jinan solve the problem, collect the weapons of the local armed forces with the fastest and most resolute attitude, disband the local militia groups, or use the way of supporting and reorganizing the local armed forces, and turn them into local security regiments to serve us, there are many ways, it depends on the brainstorming of the brothers, if necessary, The tiger head can also lead his subordinates Han Hao and other brothers from northeastern Jiangxi to help, Han Hao and others were the bandit leaders in that area, and they are out of the horse, what are you worried about the local militia group? ”

The brothers laughed, An Yi continued: "This plan must be implemented as soon as possible, I will strive to come up with a plan of action before leaving, and consult with Ji Nan, Brother Yang, and Xia Jian, the key issue is Uncle De's attitude, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it will not be too difficult, as Cheng Guang just said, the Red Army is not as easy to deal with as everyone imagined, they have firm faith, tenacious style, iron discipline and flexible tactics, which can often make up for the disadvantages of their equipment."

Secondly, they occupy the two major advantages of geography, people and people, fighting in the mountainous areas with dangerous terrain, any negligence or light enemy rash advance, may lead to annihilation, in this regard we have been in contact with more than once in the internal deduction, in the past two years of combat have also used many long-distance raids to complement each other, concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy's vital forces, encircle the enemy to fight reinforcements and roundabout encirclement and other tactics, I believe you all have a deep understanding.

If Brother Jin and Brother Wang fail in the encirclement and suppression, the defense of the first line of De'an and even Jiujiang, Hukou and other places is likely to be handed over to the security forces, so that they can draw more troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

However, we can't be in a hurry at this point, let alone take the lead in opening up to Uncle De, we can only wait for him to open up to us, otherwise it will be easy to cause misunderstanding. ”

All the brothers nodded their heads, agreeing with An Yi's opinion. Hu Jialin said with a smile: "Sooner or later, we will have to play this card, the key is to grasp the best timing." Many of Uncle De's industries are in Nanchang, and most of them are closely connected with us. What's more, Huanqi is Uncle De's son-in-law, maybe Uncle De has already greeted Huanqi, so it's better for us to go with the flow. ”

"Yes, this is the best way at the moment, we can only do everything quietly."

An Yi continued: "There is something I almost forgot to tell you, the central government is about to implement the policy of tariff autonomy, due to the opposition of the European and American powers, we can only postpone until January 1 next year to start collecting tariffs on import and export goods, and the provinces under the control of the central government will also implement a unified tax administration, therefore, we have to import a large number of machinery and equipment and raw materials that we urgently need before the end of December, even if all our gold reserves are used up, it will be worth it, and we can increase in value by 12.5% in one or two months. I suggest that Mr. Zhou and Zhang Xi be entrusted with carte blanche to handle it for us, and it will not be a problem to earn three or five million. With these three to five million, the combat effectiveness of the security forces will be multiplied, basically reaching the current level of our independent division, do you have any objections? ”

Where will the brothers have opinions? They all said that everything was up to An Yi to decide. An Yi said goodbye to his brothers and returned to Nanjing by boat, boarded the dock and rushed to the headquarters in the vehicle of the liaison office to report, and began to prepare for the upcoming trip north.

On the afternoon of 28 June, a delegation of mourners led by Chiang Kai-shek, Wu Zhihui, and Dai Jitao sailed up the river and arrived at Hankou.
