Chapter 529 is full of worries

The first military meeting of the Yichang camp ended successfully, Zhang Fakui rushed to Enshi with 100,000 oceans and dusty servants, Wu Shang instructed Xiong Zhen to follow Zhang Fakui to Enshi to command the two brigades of the headquarters to suppress the communist troops, and he returned to Jiangling happily, according to An Yi's instructions, began to set up a garrison headquarters, recruited troops with the support of An Yi, and expanded his strength as soon as possible.

Fan Shisheng took the 5,000 catties of opium seized by An Yi and returned to Jingzhou with satisfaction. Among the three anti-communist troops, he suffered the heaviest losses, but he also received the most secret additions from An Yi in terms of money, although the troops were greatly reduced, returning to the standard of 11,000 soldiers stipulated by the Central Military Commission, but the problem of providing military salaries was finally solved, and there was no need to stay on the front line of Xiangfan all day, staring at the tall and tall Northwest Army in the north.

The 56th Brigade of the 16th Division led by Ding Zhicheng had already withdrawn from Enshi, giving up the territory to the short-tempered Zhang Fakui, and asked him to lead his headquarters to sit in western Hubei, Wu Liheng's 56th Brigade marched into Yidu for rest, and Cai Shaohua's 57th Brigade stationed in Badong was stationed in the south and west to jointly defend Yichang, and Cheng Junhua's 58th Brigade was stationed in Huanghua Town, a key choke point in the north of Yichang.

Several counties in and around Yichang, including the anti-smoking and anti-smuggling bureaus and police stations, are under the responsibility of the garrison force, which has rapidly increased to 21,000 officers and men, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Yichang camp.

Even Zhu Shigui's 17th Division, which had been stationed in Xiangfan for less than half a month, had completed complete control and monitoring of the Hubei-Henan border, and the Li Zhenhan Special Brigade under Yin Jinan quietly drove to Xiangfan to reinforce Zhu Shigui's troops and secretly launched a military reconnaissance of the Northwest Army in the north.

Zhang Hongluan stayed in Yichang and was not in a hurry to return, there were too many affairs to discuss with An Yi, and one of the biggest plans was that the generals of Zhang Hongluan's 44th Army and the strong Shizhen generals who had gained a foothold in Qianxi all agreed:

Taking advantage of the imminent defeat of Li Shen's troops and the all-out suppression of the rebellion in Yunnan Longyun Province, which had no time to take care of Guizhou, they occupied Anshun and the five counties of Xingyi, Pu'an, Guanling, and Zhenfeng in southwest Guizhou in one fell swoop, and completely controlled the Yunnan-Guizhou transportation arteries.

An Yi weighed it repeatedly, felt that the time had come, and immediately called Chiang Kai-shek, who had just returned to Nanjing from Shanghai, for instructions, and boldly made a suggestion:

Once the expansion of Shi Zhen's department is agreed, I implore that Mao Guangxiang be immediately appointed as the chairman of Guizhou Province and the commander of the 25th Army, and at the same time add Shi Zhen and Wang Jialie as members of Guizhou Province; The army loyal to the central government in Qianxi was divided into two, with Shi Zhen serving as the commander of the 43rd Army, and Gong Yanpu, the former commander of the Qianxi Garrison Command, being promoted to lieutenant general commander.

Coincidentally, at Shi Zhen's suggestion and driven by the mentality of making good achievements and making meritorious contributions, Wen Qiang, special commissioner of the Central Party Department, Sheng Shicai, special commissioner of the Central Military Commission, and others also secretly sent a telegram to the Central Party Department two days ago, in addition to reporting on the achievements of rapidly opening up the situation in Qianxi, they also suggested that the central authorities help Shi Zhen's department to unify the entire Qianxi as soon as possible, popularize the current successful experience of the 12 counties in Qianxi in pacifying the people and developing the people's livelihood, and better place the whole of Guizhou under the absolute leadership of the central authorities.

Chiang Kai-shek received a detailed telegram from An Yi and was keenly aware that this was a fleeting and excellent opportunity, that there was no need to use the central army, which was intensively preparing for war, and that life and death were a matter between local forces, and that no interests of the central government would be harmed.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was good at taking advantage of the contradictions of various local forces to check and balance, preferred to see the existence of two opposing and mutually containing forces in Guizhou before the central authorities were unable to enter Guizhou, and also clearly foresaw the unstable situation in Guangxi, Li Zongren and others still had strong forces, and the growth of the Shizhen Department would play an important role in clamping down on Guangxi in the future.

The Chen Guofu brothers, who received a secret report from the personnel stationed in the Central Party Department, were very much in favor of it, and Yang Yongtai also raised his hand in favor of the lofty goal of bringing the central government into Sichuan at an early date; Zhu Peide and the three directors of the General Staff Headquarters discussed the current situation and military feasibility of the situation in Guizhou and Yunnan, and also unanimously agreed to this important decision; Chiang Kai-shek only took one night to pass an order to An Yi's hand: agree to the request, instruct An Yi to submit an overall plan and be responsible for the command of the operation, and hope that all departments will work closely together and make great efforts. Aim to complete the entire operation in the shortest possible time. As soon as the plan is completed, the central authorities will immediately notify the whole country of the appointment.

In the headquarters of the Yiling Battalion, which was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and heavily guarded, An Yi and Zhang Hongluan, for the sake of prudence, summoned more than 10 section chiefs and brigade commanders of the 16th Division, including Yin Jinan, Ding Zhicheng, and Li Fuqiang, to conduct a final discussion with the battalion generals and colonels to discuss the action plan that had been drawn up long ago.

An Yi instructed the brothers to boldly find faults, to carry out deductions in the whole and in every part, and to give them a heavy reward once they put forward a feasible plan for revisions that would be helpful to this major military operation of friendly forces!

It was the first time for Zhang Hongluan to see such a tense and intense military meeting, listening to the solid foundation, unique vision and ingenious suggestions shown by An Yi's generals in the deduction and debate, and seeing the keen thinking and self-confidence shown by the young generals in front of the large map, he finally understood what Deng Bin said to him about the model battalion military meeting. How many are better and more effective than An Yi?

At the end of the military meeting, which lasted from the morning to more than 11 o'clock in the evening, the original plan was revised in as many as 17 places, and it not only fully took into account the military ability, firepower allocation, and command level of officers at all levels of the Shizhen Division, but also made an in-depth analysis of the terrain and climate in southwest Guizhou, and achieved the greatest flexibility in the light of reality. Zhang Hongluan was full of emotion as he held this thick pile of battle plans, but An Yi and the generals under his command looked calm and did not have any pride, just like the habit formed over the years, treating this as an ordinary pre-war discussion and planning meeting, and they all regarded it as a matter within their responsibilities.

On the pier under the morning light, Zhang Hongluan's adjutant and guards lined up to board the two patrol speedboats of the garrison headquarters and prepare to return to Xiangxi. Zhang Hongluan looked at the tense and orderly military dock and the sparkling waves on the river, and asked in a low voice to An Yi who was seeing him off:

"All the 12,000 soldiers recruited from the victims have been sent to the Qiancheng camp to receive training from the teaching group. Before coming to you, I deliberately went for a walk, and found that among the soldiers who recovered after eating and drinking, there were a lot of good seedlings, only in the first company of recruits, I saw a few young people from the Pingdingshan area who were not weak, Deng Bin liked it very much, and planned to have a military skills competition for the whole army after the three-month recruit training, pick out about 500 good seedlings, break up and divide them into the special brigade directly under our army, and then train for half a year to participate in some actual combat, and then divide it into two, and assign it to the first of the special brigade that has not yet been 3rd Division.

I thought about it for a while, don't worry about the 16th Division of Nanxian's nephew, but Yigong just handed over the 17th Division of his subordinate soldiers to you, and it will also be part of your Anjia Army from now on, take care of more if you can take care of it, don't let the 17th Division brothers have a feeling of favoritism, if you agree, we will recruit 500 more people, train together, and after training, we will divide a 500-person brigade and hand it over to you along with the equipment, and then supplement it to the 17th Division. Anyway, most of the more than 10,000 soldiers will be added to your command in the end, and it is better to be able to get a new number, and I don't believe that you can digest it. As for Brother Shi's Qianxi, don't worry, with us helping him train and replenish him, he will only get stronger and stronger. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Luan! With the help of Uncle Luan and Brother Cunqiang, the little nephew is much easier. ”

An Yi smiled gratefully and said in a low voice: "Starting from November, we will appropriately reduce the supply of opium, and those in Qianxi and southern Sichuan will be sent downstream to repay debts, and those bought from Yunnan will have to be sent to the Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Factory Research Institute.

Do you remember the little nephew and the Ah Biao you always mentioned? Now he is mixing well in Hong Kong, Hong Xingshe has grown rapidly under his painstaking management for several years, and has now bought several transit terminals in Hong Kong, under the guidance of my father-in-law, built the largest transit warehouse in Hong Kong, and has done business in Guangzhou, and also has an ocean-going fleet that travels to and from Shanghai, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Nanyang, most of the cargo ships of more than 1,000 tons fly the British flag, and at the beginning of this month, it has sailed to Nanchang for the first time, and more than 3,000 tons of machine tools and equipment for the truck production line of Jiangnan Group, It is estimated that Ah Biao will come to me at the end of the month, and I will take him to Xiangxi at that time, so that he can get to know you for a while, and most of the purified white powder will have to be sold by him. ”

Zhang Hongluan said with a smile: "You are in charge of these, I don't want to care about these, and I don't have the energy to take care of them, next month Luxi Cement Factory will open the furnace, won't you go to take a look?" ”

"Maybe, as long as there is time, the little nephew will go to congratulate him. According to the current momentum of development, Xiangxi will change greatly, and will soon become the industrial and commercial center of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and the construction of several wharves in the Yuanjiang River basin should also be stepped up, and the construction of highways cannot be stopped. ”

An Yi reminded in a roundabout way, for fear that the brothers in Xiangxi would be eager for quick success and quick profit, so they would be overjoyed.

Zhang Hongluan nodded: "Don't worry, I will control these well, the Finance and Taxation Bureau and the Construction Bureau have been established, and more than 300 domestic and foreign experts invited from Lao Nanchang have also been arranged, and the Xiangxi non-commissioned officer training base is under construction in accordance with the requirements of the military academy. ”

An Yi grinned, saw that the soldiers had boarded the ship, they were all waiting for Zhang Hongluan, made a joke and respectfully sent Zhang Hongluan on the boat, and watched the two speedboats disappear into the southeast of the river, and then turned around and rushed ashore to the Yichang Office to attend the cultural and educational development meeting held by representatives from all walks of life.

Since An Yi became the director of this camp, he has realized that it is far from being as simple as he imagined, in addition to the command of the army and the maintenance of law and order, there are still many civil affairs waiting for him to make a decision.

Whenever he sees the old gentlemen in Yichang City and the surrounding counties who have mottled beards, shake their heads and mouths, but also have a very high reputation, An Yi feels very funny and helpless, as big as the expansion of a street, as small as the death of an old master who was originally unfamiliar but knows astronomy and geography, An Yi has to be respectful in everything, otherwise he will be criticized by a group of local celebrities and squires, and this official is not easy to be!
