The secret operations of the 4th Regiment, the 6th Regiment, the Model Battalion, and other main forces of the 2nd Division were very successful, and the sneaking of more than 3,500 elite officers and men in the middle of the night did not alarm anyone in Tonggu City, and the division headquarters located in the Xiao Clan Ancestral Hall in the west of the city still came and went with representatives of the people from all walks of life, and set up on the big stage of Shuaijiaba in the east of the city, and continued to perform scenes of local operas and splendid programs to welcome the honorable enlistment of new recruits.

At lunchtime, Liu Zhi and his entourage attended the commendation meeting for recruits, and once again entered the model battalion with great interest to enjoy lunch, but the size of this eating team was reduced by more than half compared with yesterday: Deputy division commander Jiang Dingwen had gone to the Sixth Regiment to supervise the battle, Chief of Staff Xu Tingyao led the Operations Section to the camp of the Fourth Regiment in Bamutang, and Wen Zhiwen's Fifth Regiment was also secretly moving, followed by Liu Zhi was only a group of adjutants and staff officers, including the extremely conspicuous Russian adviser Bribenov and his colonel adjutant.

After the simple and delicious lunch, the generals and colonels were very satisfied with An Yi's report on the recruitment work, and Liu Zhi was secretly surprised for a moment:

"Tonggu County has a population of about 150,000, most of whom live in the alpine mountains far away from the county seat, and it is not easy for you to recruit 620 recruits in three days, which is almost equal to the number of recruits in the big county of Liuhe, Hunan, which is not simple, which proves that your work is very good and effective."

An Yi frowned and whispered: "Master, the guns, clothing, shoes and hats here under my subordinates have been in an emergency, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the frost has been seen on the grass and leaves in the early morning, and there are only a thousand sets of tattered single clothes and more than a dozen bad guns that cannot be repaired left in the subordinate engineer battalion, and the more than 100 recruits who rushed from remote mountain villages in the afternoon may not even have pants to wear, let alone the distribution of guns and ammunition, it is difficult!" ”

Yin Jinan, who was sitting next to An Yi, smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was full of worry, his battalion still had 1,200 pairs of new shoes and 1,800 sets of brand-new military uniforms, shoes and hats, and more than 280 captured long and short guns had been repaired by Shen Jianping and Tao Xun, two young armorers, who led their eight brothers to repair them, and all that was missing was a short jacket and cotton pants. The reason why An Yi took this opportunity to complain loudly was entirely because when he was watching the play just now, the old battalion commander Kuang Shimin quietly revealed: Seventeen trucks from the Logistics Department and the Quartermaster Department of the Military Department just dawned this morning, and all kinds of materials are available, hurry up and apply!

Liu Zhi and the others reacted differently, they were overjoyed to hear that there were more than 100 recruits joining in the afternoon, where did they care about hundreds of winter clothes and hundreds of guns?

Liu Zhi asked Lao Kuang, the quartermaster who was sitting at the bottom, and immediately made a decision: "The military department has just sent a batch of military funds this morning, so I will approve 800 sets of equipment for your model battalion." You have swelled rapidly in a few days, more than twice as many as when you set out from Changsha, and with the addition of more than 100 new recruits who came in the afternoon, there are more than 1,200 officers and men in the whole battalion, and the establishment of each company and platoon must be well arranged, and the appointment and division of labor among officers at all levels must be strictly demanded in accordance with the actual situation, and the plan must be reported immediately after completion, and there must be no confusion at all. ”

"Rest assured, we have a detailed plan." After Yin Jinan finished answering, he took out the plan from the briefcase on his waist and respectfully submitted it.

Liu Zhi put down the teacup and read it carefully, nodded frequently, casually handed it to the adjutant next to him and ordered it to be archived, turned to An Yi and Yin Jinan and said approvingly:

"Very meticulous and reasonable, I agree! In particular, four of the professional engineer companies organized into a company of 150 officers and men are very well set up, and it can be seen that you have given full consideration to your own special surnames, and the setup of the infantry company, guard company, communications company, machine gun company, and artillery company is also quite reasonable, and it is basically consistent with the plan for the deployment of the main regiment being discussed by the military headquarters, and the logistics department under the battalion is subdivided into a logistics unit and a quartermaster unit, which coincides with the plan of the division headquarters.

I think so, after the capture of Nanchang, you should be able to officially upgrade to the supplementary regiment of our division, so from now on, you need to make preliminary preparations in advance.

I agree in principle with your suggestion that officers at all levels be promoted to one level, and this is also the promise we made to all regiments and battalions from the very beginning, but the division headquarters will make some adjustments, and I hope you will be fully mentally prepared for this. ”

"Yes!"

An Yi and Yin Jinan replied in unison, and their hearts bloomed.

The two sent Liu Zhi and his entourage to the camp gate, Liu Zhi called An Yi, and gave the order to leave at five o'clock in the morning in a low voice, and then turned over and returned satisfied.

Yin Jinan took his adjutant Zeng Changgeng on horseback to catch up with the quartermaster Lao Kuang, and rushed to the division headquarters to bring back 800 sets of clothing, shoes, hats, and supporting guns and ammunition, saving the regiments from rushing to the front, and quietly received Liu Zhi's special approval of the 5,000 oceans conscription subsidy military expenses and this month's military salary, and then borrowed 5,000 oceans from Lao Kuang to repay with interest in case of urgent needs.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, An Yi personally led people to send Xie Yi and eight pork fans with a total of 100 oceans to the eight troupes, which moved several troupes up and down.

The two old opera troupes in the county town resolutely did not want to go to the ocean, and finally accepted the pork in An Yi's enthusiastic words, saying that the officers and soldiers of the model battalion not only helped thousands of people in the city pave a three-mile-long solid road in a few days, but also repaired old houses and dug a sweet water well for more than a dozen poor families, and this kindness could not be repaid, let alone collect money. Everyone knew that the revolutionary army was about to be pulled out, and all of them showed reluctance, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians said goodbye to their warm wishes, sighing and tearing people.

In the early morning of the next morning, before dawn, more than 1,000 new and old brothers of the Model Camp silently marched out of the camp in a procession, crossed the river beach and turned onto the road on the right, and marched towards Shangfu Town, which was more than 80 kilometers to the east.

An Yi knew that the two towns of Dayuan, 28 kilometers to the east, and Xita, 55 kilometers, would definitely be taken by the brothers of the 4th Regiment, the 1st of the 6th Regiment, and the 5th Regiment and the 5th Regiment and the five battalions that set off in the early hours of yesterday morning, and the battle of the surprise attack on Shangfu Town should have started by now, under the superior forces and unexpected blows, the enemy's surrender was a matter of time before and his team was now walking in front of the division headquarters with a greatly increased guard strength, and he did not have to worry about being attacked after being ambushed. But the cautious An Yi and Yin Jinan still sent the second and fourth platoons and the third and seventh platoons to go out and break the rear.

Eleven kilometers away from the city, the sky was bright, the red autumn sun was hanging on the top of the big mountain in the east, An Yi, who was in a good mood, was just about to give the order to rest and drink his horse, when he saw the deputy of the second company who led the team to reconnoitre, Captain Mu reminiscing to gallop on horseback:

"Report to the battalion commander, there is a local armed force with a number of about 380 people blocking the way at the pass two kilometers ahead, and the subordinates can see from the telescope that the leader is Gu Changfeng, who fought with the deputy of the Hu battalion the night before."

An Yi was shocked and then immediately overjoyed, and called Yin Jinan to laugh: "Gu Lao Er's estimate has been figured out, this grandson is a ruthless person who can be met but not sought!" Able to be literate and martial, first-class swordsmanship, Hu Zi said that if a famous disciple achieves such attainments, he must be a handsome man who has cultivated both civil and military since childhood, Xia Jian said to Lao Tzu before leaving, he estimated that he would not be able to beat Gu Lao Er, if Gu Lao Er's grandson joined our command, the future special brigade would have a greater capital, haha...... Let's meet Gu Lao Er, grandma's he actually ran in front of Lao Tzu and blocked it, haha! ”

Yin Jinan was also overjoyed, and he ordered Mu Recall to set off first, leading his brothers to approach and raise vigilance, and then called the adjutant Zeng Changgeng to lead the horse and jump up, and fight the horse with An Yi to move forward, Zeng Changgeng and Dong Yanzi and the six groups of brothers in the police platoon who served as guards hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

An Yi and Yin Jinan rushed to the scene, skillfully controlling the horse, one black and one yellow two horses passed through the gap left by more than 30 brothers, rushed to the front of Gu Lao Er five meters away, stood up, turned around in a chic circle, both landed and stopped steadily, seeing the brothers on both sides cheering in unison, all of them deeply admired An Yi and Yin Jinan's superb riding skills.

Gu Lao Er stood in the middle of the road majestically and fearlessly, calm and relaxed, crossed his hands on his chest and held the long knife given by An Yi, raised his arrogant head and shook off his long flowing hair, and praised loudly: "The riding skills are good, and the war horse is more beautiful!" ”

An Yi laughed and flew off the horse, walked two meters in front of Gu Lao Er and said loudly: "Since joining the army, I have practiced riding and marksmanship hard whenever I have time, and I have worked hard and persevered to have today's small achievement, but compared with Brother Gu, it is estimated that I still fall behind, haha!" Brother Gu, you won't be here waiting for our brothers to have breakfast together, right? ”

Gu Changfeng couldn't help grinning: "Brother An, brother, I and my more than 300 brothers are shy in our pockets, and we have no food and grass, after thinking left and right, I have to be cheeky to come here to beg you for almsgiving, I don't know if Brother An can do it?" ”

An Yi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart: "I don't know how much food Brother Gu needs to eat?" ”

"Brother, I have a great appetite, the more the merrier, I don't refuse, it's best to manage the three hundred and eighty-five brothers behind me to eat well for the rest of my life, haha!"

After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, the corners of his charming mouth showed a meaningful faint smile.

An Yi laughed: "Come on, ......"

"Here!"

Dong Lingzi and Mu Recall turned over and dismounted, ran to An Yi's side, and stood by his side.

An Yi said loudly: "Go back immediately and inform the brothers of all companies and platoons to come, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the streams are murmuring, it is a good place to rest and drink horses, haha!" Remember, you went back and commanded the brethren with the platoon commanders of the companies; Dong Yanzi, you tell Lao Chang to let more than 80 brothers in his quartermaster logistics unit take the lead in bringing the full load of pack horses, so many military resources on horseback have exhausted Lao Tzu's horse, we have to let Brother Gu and his more than 300 brothers share the burden, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be able to eat and drink. ”

"Yes!"

Mu Remembering and Dong Yanzi happily ran to their respective horses, quickly turned over and rode away.

An Yi's words and deeds made Gu Lao Er feel very comfortable, especially An Yi's unruly pride and natural affinity made Gu Lao Er admire, and a strong resonance was born in the young and majestic chest and abdomen, and his intuition clearly told him: The conclusion he came to after thinking hard for two days and one night was correct, he Gu Changfeng defected to the right, and the young and heroic and heroic person in front of him will bring him a new life and take him on the vigorous road of life that he has longed for!

Half an hour later, Gu Changfeng left An Yi and Yin Jinan by the stream, walked up to the three hundred and eighty-five subordinate brothers who were looking forward to it, straightened up his thick chest, and said loudly in his loud voice:

"Brothers, you are all willing to follow Lao Tzu out of the mountains, since you have come out, you should think of the difficulties of embarking on a new road, you must restrain your words and deeds, and change the gangsterism of hanging children! From now on, as long as you take off the variegated clothes on your body, put on a new set of military uniforms and a pair of new shoes on the side of the road, tighten your armed belt and carry a long and short gun on your back, you will be an upright revolutionary army like Lao Tzu, everything before will be abandoned like the dirty clothes you took off, and it will be a new road in front of you dogs. Okay, think clearly about the first three steps, if you don't think clearly or don't want to follow Lao Tzu out with your head, immediately roll Lao Tzu back to the deep mountains and old forests, and from then on, all the grievances and grievances between each other will be written off, and life and life will never be exchanged again! ”

"Let's follow the second brother!"

"Lao Tzu is afraid of hanging, and he is still afraid of war after licking blood with a knife head for so many years? Haha......"

"Second brother, if you say a word, the brothers of the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire will never look back!"

"Which dog is going to go, hurry up, don't fucking delay Lao Tzu to change new clothes!"

…… None of the three hundred and eighty-five fierce mountain bandits flinched, and all of them strode forward, bustling and quickly taking off their shirts and trousers.

Most of these grandsons, who were not wearing underwear, took off their stripes without any scruples, and one by one they swore and cursed with their bare buttocks of different shapes and swayed kiba, and dozens of brave and clean men flew down into the icy stream, babbling and screaming to wash their bodies, and finally climbed ashore wet and walked towards the model battalion brothers who distributed clothes.

"Big brother, we've got a death squad!" Yin Jinan sighed.

An Yi smiled: "These grandsons can't get into the eyes of Lao Tzu, but Gu Changfeng, the dog who is deeply compatible with Lao Tzu's spleen surname, makes me feel sorry for me." As long as he is there, any kind of recruit can train a body of courage, this dog's Gu Lao Er is no worse than our brothers in leading the troops, bold and meticulous and more damn ruthless, the one who can stay under him is definitely ten times stronger than Ye Ting's reading group, many times the beliefs and ideals are not as good as the pride and blood surname in the bones, I bet that as long as Gu Lao Er stays under us for half a year, Xia Jian's grandson can't compare to him, because this guy is more ruthless and poisonous than Xia Jian. ”

Yin Jinan nodded: "Big brother, you have to beat Gu Er, see that this kid's surname is the kind of demon king who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and it is not easy to control if you don't tighten the horse dragon's head." ”

"Don't worry, when we take Nanjing, let's go and send these promising brothers into our Huangpu to gild well, it's a big deal for Lao Tzu to ask the principal for mercy, and when they come out, they will be able to take charge of their own talents." An Yi sighed.

Yin Jinan was also deeply touched: "Yes! Thinking about the road we have traveled in just over a year, my little brother is full of emotion, war really trains people! If you don't understand anything, you have to face the duel between life and death, you can't help but work hard, many ideas and experiences are forced out between life and death, no wonder the seniors who participated in the two Crusades in the first two sessions can now be on their own, many seniors who are a few years older than us have become generals, and only those who have experienced it know it......"
