Chapter 137: The situation has taken a turn for the worse
Years of warlord wars and the expropriation of political axes from all sides, making Hualin Academy appear decayed and old, there are no students in the academy that is about to be abandoned, and the model battalion is stationed in a little repair and cleaning, and then the weather is new, exquisite layout and elegant and smooth cornice-style antique buildings, vaguely see the scale and good intentions of the initial construction.
This is located on the south bank of the Luan River and is only one and a half kilometers away from the county seat of Hualin Academy, not the history and Yuelu Academy, Bailu Cave Academy, Ehu Academy of the same name, famous in China for hundreds of years of Hualin Academy, the real academy is located in the southwest of the county twenty-five kilometers of Hualin Mountain, unfortunately many scenic spots of Hualin Mountain have become ruins, carved beams and paintings have long become ruins, the Hualin Academy in the south of the city is just a memorial academy, however, as a temporary military camp is also wide and practical, the transportation is convenient.
Behind the wide heavy eaves main hall of the academy is an exquisite garden covering an area of about two acres, with towering trees, with rockery fish pond flower path stone railing, but also shows the graceful elegance of the southern garden style, on both sides of the courtyard are two rows of neat and spacious high-ridge tile houses, which were originally the sleeping places of teachers and students, and now become the temporary barracks of each company directly under the model battalion, and An Yi's dormitory is set up in the first room adjacent to the main building in the east.
The morning sun shot into the wide window, and An Yi, who had been asleep intermittently for two nights and a day, was able to sit up after drinking the meat porridge, and took the skill competition schedule handed by Yin Jinan to watch carefully:
"Very good, in this way, the preliminary round and the second round can be completed in the morning and afternoon today, and the third round tomorrow will be much smaller, which is convenient for organization and refereeing...... Is the entrance to the main hall of the college big enough? ”
"That's enough, the four new engineer companies spent a day leveling and clearing, the area is the size of three basketball courts, and the final fight is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately, Cai Guangqing and the 82 brothers of the 2nd Company could not participate, and in an hour they were to be transferred to the 4th Regiment garrison in the north of the city. Yin Jinan shook his head again and again.
An Yi sighed leisurely: "Our waist and legs are not strong enough, so we can only endure it...... Didn't our Sanlian also have seventy brothers when it was first established? Tell the brothers not to care, they are all in the same division, they don't see each other when they look up, and they have to take care of each other when they fight in the future, no matter where they go, everyone is still brothers, and this friendship of life and death will never change. ”
Yin Jinan nodded, and when he saw the beard hurriedly coming in, he looked grim, and immediately knew what was going on.
Hu Zi came to the bedside and sat down, and reported in a low voice: "I just went to the division headquarters to send documents back, the battle situation suddenly changed, General Cheng Qian's 19th Division and our 1st Division garrisoned Nanchang City was broken by the enemy, the enemy army was guarding the Fengcheng line of more than 17,000 people Deng Ruzhuo's division attacked Nanchang from south to north, the enemy Lu Xiangting Division guarding De'an went south along the Nanxun Railway at the same time, and under the attack from north to south, General Cheng Qian's 19th Division was almost completely annihilated, and General Cheng Qian was in the enemy's army. Capture Cheng Dabeard alive' shouted to cut off his long beard, took off his military uniform, and fled to our Fengxin Division Headquarters in the early morning of this day under the protection of two guards.
Qiao Shijie, commander of the spy company, privately revealed to me that after our 1st Division occupied Nanchang, it did not carry out vigilance in accordance with the norms like the 19th Division, and Deputy Army Commander Wang lingered all night in the Qinglou of Huaxiang, causing the enemy to suddenly arrive, and the generals of the 1st Division were leaderless, and in the face of the superior enemy forces, they were rushed to the battle, and they were instantly defeated. Repeated contact with the radio station of the division headquarters confirmed that the remnants of our 1st Division had been assembled in Gao'an one after another, and the other part had arrived in Jing'an one after another. Each of the three main regiments of our division sent one part to move the defensive line forward in the east, south, and north directions to ensure the safety of Fengxincheng. ”
An Yi was taken aback: "Oh my God! How could Deputy Commander Wang be so ridiculous? General Cheng Qian's beard and robe are comparable to Cao Ying during the Three Kingdoms...... Beard, wasn't the division of Lu Xiangting, the enemy of De'an, pinned down by the Seventh Army? Why did he suddenly go south and attack Nanchang with Deng Ruzhuo's division? ”
"I also think it is strange, I asked Deputy Division Commander Jiang carefully to know that General Li Zongren was unable to get in touch with the Sixth Army, and sent four groups of reconnaissance detachments from Yangxin to sneak out to search for several results, fearing that the right flank would be attacked by the enemy and did not dare to go deep alone, so he abandoned the original attack target Jiujiang halfway, decisively changed the direction of the march, and went south from Yangxin to Yanggushan in an attempt to get closer to the Sixth Army, but he did not know that the Sixth Army had given up repairing the water, leaving only the 17th Division to garrison Jing'an, and the 18th Division to garrison Anyi, General Cheng Qian led the 19th Division and the 1st Division of our army to occupy Nanchang. Since the Seventh Army could not be contacted by radio, it is estimated that the Seventh Army has not yet learned of the gains and losses of Nanchang. The latest situation at present shows that 20,000 officers and soldiers of Xie Hongxun's division, a powerful force of Sun Chuanfang's army, have occupied the Wuning line, and it seems that the main force of the Seventh Army has been found ......" Beard elaborated.
An Yi was so anxious that his pale face flushed with a red tide: "What about Xiushui?" How can you give up repairing water? Doesn't this put our second division under the enemy's flank and back? My grandmother's Sixth Army, did you fight like this? I'm! ”
Hu Zi hurriedly explained: "What are you anxious about?" I didn't finish listening to me, our army's newly incorporated Hunan Army He Yaozu Division was reorganized into the Second Division of Reading Force, and the third day went out of Xianning through Tongcheng to rush to help, and it was stationed in Xiushui yesterday, and our army's rear road and side rear are still worry-free for the time being. In addition, the principal arrived in the west of Yichun City yesterday, and he could not say that he could arrive in Gao'an, and he went to the front line to take command. ”
An Yi and Yin Jinan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Hu Zi continued: "The division headquarters has not yet received the action order from the headquarters, and it is estimated that the headquarters sympathizes with our division and urgently needs to rest after the fierce battle in Fengxin, and the division headquarters orders our battalion to strengthen its vigilance and obey the dispatch at any time. I would now like to hear from both of you on whether our battalion has made any preparations or adjustments in advance. ”
"Jinan, what do you mean?" An Yi asked.
At present, the 5th and 6th companies, machine gun companies, and artillery companies, which were originally reorganized separately and separately, have been formed, 70 officers and men of the communications company have been preliminarily organized, and each company has begun intensive training yesterday, and the officers and men of the four newly organized engineer companies have basically completed their reorganization, but the appointment of the company-level commander has not yet been completed, and all companies in the battalion will be able to carry out the first phase of training according to the original plan. You have to take care of your injuries these days, don't scare our brothers anymore, and don't hide your injuries in the future, otherwise don't blame your little brother for being unkind to you! ”
"Yes!"
An Yi laughed: "Huzi, you go and tell Xia Jian that his sixty-five brothers do not need to participate in the two-day selection competition, and must expand the reconnaissance range to a radius of twenty kilometers, the current situation is sinister and changing rapidly, the enemy we are facing is no worse than the revolutionary army, the rout of the 19th Division and the 1st Division in Nanchang is the best proof, and it also made me see the enemy's excellent hidden surname and sudden surname, mobilizing 30,000 troops to carry out a large-scale north-south flanking attack, our Sixth Army and the First Division of our army did not even notice it, It is enough to see that the enemy has strong combat effectiveness and good military quality, and we must not be careless! ”
Beard nodded: "I'll do it." ”
"I'll have to go see the brothers who are leaving...... If you can't sleep, you should think more about the promotion and deployment of officers at the company and platoon levels, this matter cannot be delayed, and it must be completed within three days, otherwise the next step of the work will be affected. After Yin Jinan finished speaking, he also left quickly.
When it was quiet, An Yi felt the pain of the wound in his abdomen and left shoulder, and Dong Yanzi cleverly folded a quilt quickly and carefully cushioned it behind An Yi.
Gu Lao Er quietly came in and glanced at An Yi's complexion, smiled and joked, and then reported: "Boss, Company Commander Cai came with that Li Xiaolong to ask to see, the two of them have been waiting in the main hall for more than half an hour, just now I saw that you were in a meeting, and I didn't let them in." ”
"Please!"
An Yi closed the personnel evaluation report he had just opened in his hand and put it on the bedside, and instructed Dong Yanzi to bring a few cups of hot tea.
"Report: Second Company Commander Cai Guangqing and Clerk Li Xiaolong ask to see me, please ask the battalion commander for instructions!"
Cai Guangqing stepped into the door and stood up and saluted, just like the previous one, he didn't look like a person who was about to leave this collective. Li Xiaolong stood behind Cai Guangqing with a complicated expression, his body was straight, and his salute was strong and standard.
An Yi's heart darkened, and he said loudly with a smile on his face: "Come in and sit!" Guangqing, you are the only person in our model camp who has not been scolded by me, sometimes Lao Tzu really wants to scold you, but he can't find a reason to scold you, which is enough to show how good your work is. ”
Cai Guangqing's eyes were red: "Battalion commander......"
"Sit down and take a sip of hot tea."
An Yi looked at Li Xiaolong: "I wanted to go to see you the night before yesterday, but who knew that I myself had fallen, how did you recover?" ”
Li Xiaolong stood up again: "Report to the battalion commander, his subordinates have basically recovered, thank you battalion commander for letting the medical officer immediately colonel his subordinates for diagnosis and treatment." ”
An Yi motioned for him to sit down: "Have a cup of tea, you're welcome...... Li Xiaolong, I apologize to you today, I didn't give you a fair chance to compete and a good environment, please forgive me! This person is his mother's cheapness, and he doesn't know how precious and cherished until he loses it. ”
Li Xiaolong's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly: "Battalion commander, I didn't expect you to apologize to me." Actually, no, you are the best military commander I have ever met, although I have not been able to get your guidance, but I have learned a lot of things from the model battalion and every officer and soldier, many valuable things, and these things have your shadow in them, such as the brothers' self-confidence, self-esteem, fraternity and unity, hard work and even arrogance, which are different from other troops, I didn't understand at first, but now I understand. ”
An Yi stared at Li Xiaolong's slightly red eyes in surprise, and a faint sense of loss and guilt welled up in his heart: "You're welcome, in fact, you are very good, but the time we met is too short, and it is rare to have a few days of rest from Xianning to here." You are not easy either, I heard that you have been practicing your skills and marksmanship all day and night, and you are getting along better and better with your brothers, and you are making rapid progress in all aspects.
By the way, I have to tell you one thing, after the noon meeting the day before yesterday, Guangqing asked me to ask you Li Xiaolong to serve as the secretary of the second company, at first I didn't agree and was finally persuaded by Guangqing, at that time I didn't know that the division headquarters would transfer all of you to the fourth regiment, and I originally planned to dismantle your second company, from the company commander to the brothers below, and then upgrade to the new company, so as to play a leading role as the backbone, so that the new companies can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
At that time, at the division headquarters meeting, I was stupid and excited when I heard the chief of staff announce the transfer decision, and as soon as I was excited, the two bullet holes in my stomach and waist hurt terribly, and I expressed my opinion with a breath held in my chest, and when I saw that I couldn't stand it anymore, I left the field early, and fainted when I walked out of the gate. In fact, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, Li Xiaolong, you may not know, but Guangqing knows, he knows the relationship between me and every old brother in Erlian. ”
"Boss, don't talk about it......"
Cai Guangqing finally held back his tears.
"Guangqing, what's the matter with you? Why do you look like a, isn't it just a few steps away? Won't it be a common face in the future? When you get over there, put in some effort, and when you become the battalion commander, don't you sit with Lao Tzu for meetings from time to time? It's really ......" An Yiqiang pretended to be grinning, but in fact, he was just as sad in his heart.
Cai Guangqing nodded, wiped away his tears and looked out the window.
An Yi sighed slightly: "Dong Yanzi, bring the booklet you copied...... Li Xiaolong, I don't have anything to send you before leaving, so I will give you this book of "Shooting Training Method" that I wrote by myself as a souvenir, which contains the basic knowledge taught to me by my two shooting instructors, as well as a little experience that I have summed up in practice, and I plan to use it as a trial teaching material within my battalion.
I didn't write one thing above, but I'll tell you now: every good shooter is piled up with boxes of bullets, and it is great to have a sharpshooter out of 10,000 excellent shooters, because sharpshooters are geniuses in a million. Don't look at my good guns, strictly speaking, I can only be regarded as a good shooter, give! Take it. ”
Li Xiaolong took the pamphlet excitedly, his mouth squirmed for a long time, and then he whispered: "Battalion commander, you said something wrong just now, you said that Company Commander Cai is the only person in the whole battalion who has not been scolded by you, no, and I have not been scolded by you either...... At first, I was disgusted to see you scolding a brother, but then I learned that the person who can let you scold is lucky, because you treat him as your own brother, and every brother who has been scolded by you turns his back and is happy, which makes me very envious, although I don't like this rough way, but I envy the truth contained in it, your foul words sound harsh, but when you think about it, it is very reasonable, and no one can learn it. Battalion commander, can you give a parting message to your subordinates before parting? ”
An Yi laughed: "Li Xiaolong, do you believe in fortune telling?" ”
"I ...... I don't believe it, I believe that my destiny is in my own hands. Li Xiaolong smiled.
An Yi nodded: "I'll make a bet with you, I dare to say that if you're still alive in twenty years, you'll definitely be a general!" Believe it or not, the facts will tell, and if my prophecy is fulfilled, don't forget to include it in your memoirs. ”
Li Xiaolong nodded emphatically: "Okay, I remembered ......."
"Battalion Commander - Battalion Commander - Battalion Commander - "
The whimpering chorus of the departing brethren came from outside, breaking An Yi's balance and shattering his self-control.
An Yi, who was pale, waved his hand to let Cai Guangqing and Li Xiaolong leave, and yelled at Gu Laoer, who hurriedly entered the door to report, "What are you doing outside?" Shouting, shouting? Bomb them away for Lao Tzu and tell them that if they lose the spirit of the model battalion in the fourth regiment, Lao Tzu will kill them alive! ”
Gu Lao Er looked at An Yi's face full of tears, nodded sadly, and quietly turned around and bowed his head......
