Chapter 552 is on the verge of breaking out

On 10 February 1930, Zhao Pilian, Yan Xishan's secret representative to Shanghai, finally reached a consensus with the forces of various factions to overthrow Chiang, and Yan Xishan immediately telegraphed to Chiang Zhongzheng that "we should go down to the opposition together, and the unification of force should not be used under the rule of the Democratic Party, but should be compassionate for the country." Li Zongren, Huang Shaohong, Bai Chongxi, and Zhang Fakui, who were fighting hard with Chen Jitang's Guangdong army, immediately sent a joint telegram to Yan Xishan, urging him to immediately launch an armed action to force Chiang to retreat, and expressed his willingness to respect Yan Xishan as the commander-in-chief to protect the party and save the country.

From then on, the two major military forces of Feng and Yan, which were separated and merged because of the uneven distribution of interests, finally united, and the Li Zongren clique, which was beaten back to his hometown by Chiang Kai-shek and was filled with righteous indignation and tried to make a comeback, echoed it in a high-profile manner, and the Sichuan warlord Liu Wenhui also vigorously supported and shouted slogans, and the warlord forces of various ministries began a vigorous joint war against Chiang.

The Central Committee of the Kuomintang in Nanjing immediately launched a-for-tat struggle, and the five presidents, Tan Yanhong, Hu Hanmin, Wang Chonghui, Dai Chuanxian, and Zhao Daiwen, issued a letter to the soldiers, saying that they had betrayed the Central Committee and were planning to destroy themselves, and hoped that the opposition forces in all ministries would understand four points:

1. The armed forces are the armed forces of the state and are not personal property; 2. It is necessary to survive while ensuring the survival of the country, and it is not appropriate to sacrifice the survival of the country for one's own survival; 3. Do not have the intention of taking advantage of others, nor be used by others; Fourth, only seek a clear conscience, not afraid of the destruction of others; It is also said that the attitude of the central government has always been to regard the prime minister as the public eye, and it has not the slightest intention of using a certain party to eliminate a certain party, still less is it used by a certain party to control a certain party.

The nationwide anti-Chiang alliance action and the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army began a large-scale movement, Chiang Kai-shek, who had long been prepared, immediately began to dispatch troops, Liu Zhi's second army was drawn from eastern Hubei and concentrated on the Xuzhou line, the 64th Division Ma Hongkui moved south from Xuzhou, and the 49th Division Ren Yingqi went from Haizhou to the Bozhou line in Yingzhou in northern Anhui, forming a thick and long front with the third and fourth armies.

Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan, while dispatching troops and generals to prepare for the big war, began to fight with the telegraph and the news media, each of them wanted to occupy the moral high ground and hold the banner of justice so as to become famous.

On 23 July, 45 generals from Hebei, Shanxi, Chacha, Sui, Shaanxi, Gansu, Xin, Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guizhou, and Fujian sent telegrams to Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Liu Wenhui, Mao Guangxiang, Shi Yousan, Wang Jinyu, Zhang Fakui, Sun Dianying, Liu Cunhou, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Yang Huchen, Liu Guitang, Lu Xingbang, and other generals from Hebei, Shanxi, Chacha, Sui, Shaanxi, Gansu, Xin, Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guizhou, and Fujian, advocating that members of the First, Second, and Third Central Committees organize a meeting of provisional Kuomintang cadres and establish the Fourth Central Committee in the shortest possible time, or that all Party members vote by a majority. In order to resolve the dispute between the second and third sessions, and complete the new central construction.

Wang Zhaoming immediately sent a telegram to Yan Xishan, agreeing that all party members should vote to settle the party's disputes, and denounced Chiang Kai-shek for being chaotic and sinister, and persuaded Yan Xishan to punish him by force, and elected Yan Xishan as commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force of the National Revolutionary Army.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, and that his position had been unanimously recognized by the anti-Chiang forces, Yan Xishan immediately rushed from Taiyuan to Jian'an Village at the foot of Wutai Mountain, and complacently welcomed Feng Yuxiang out of the mountain to jointly govern the government. The next day, the eight divisions of the Northwest Army began to move towards Luoyang and northern Hubei.

On the morning of 31 July, the Third Plenary Session of the Third Central Executive Committee of the Nanjing Government opened, and Chairman Hu Hanmin elected Jiang Zhongzheng, Hu Hanmin, Tan Yanhong, Yu Youren, and Sun Ke as members of the presidium. The first meeting was held in the afternoon and a quick decision was made:

1. Wang Zhaoming was expelled from the party, and Ding Chaowu was replaced as a member of the executive committee; 2. Presumptive members of the review committees of the Party affairs, politics, economy, and education groups; 3. Yan Xishan and the martial artists advocated a fallacy, violated party discipline, shook the people's hearts, and dispatched troops to block the north and south from destroying communications, and specially sent Li Yuying, Zhang Ji, and Zhao Daiwen to earnestly investigate, and ordered Zhao Daiwen to investigate and report to the nearest place. The Central Plains War was on the verge of breaking out.

An Yi put down the large pile of information in his hand and smiled helplessly, he really couldn't figure out what the ability of so many generals from all over the country to pursue their own interests was after so many quarping generals, and what position could they occupy from the blueprint of the future central government outlined by Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and Wang Jingwei? If the warlords everywhere want to build their reputation and add some political capital by opposing Chiang, what can they gain from defeat?

Due to the constant choice of positions between the two camps among the Sichuan warlords, Liu Xiang, who was eyeing him fiercely, did not make any moves, and An Yi, who was quietly watching the changes under He Guoguang's suggestion, was not in a hurry, because he knew very well that many warlords did not echo Liu Wenhui, but wanted to gain Liu Wenhui's trust through the name of opposing Chiang, accumulate strength for the upcoming partition operation, and create better opportunities.

The only thing that surprised An Yi was the chairman of Guizhou Province, Mao Guangxiang, this time he turned to Wang Jingwei and called on him to join the ranks of anti-Jiang, in addition to being full of resentment, I am afraid that it was the idea of wanting to fight the Shi Zhen Department of Qianxi, but Mao Guangxiang did not expect that Wang Jialie, who was excluded by him, had been in secret contact with Zhang Hongluan in Xiangxi to negotiate cooperation with each other, so An Yi did not need to worry about what would happen to Shi Zhen, who now has 35,000 troops and Zhang Hongluan, the king of Xiangxi, who is helping him, really don't have to worry about An Yi, Zhang Hongluan and Shi Zhen will make Mao Guangxiang, who is full of hidden dangers inside, a failure.

Before the outbreak of the war, An Yi would never let the opponent see his strength clearly, a division of the Northwest Army at the mouth of the old river in northwest Hubei had already become a thorn in the side of Gu Changfeng and Zhu Shigui, and the commanders of the two divisions carried out a month-and-a-half-long offensive exercise for this purpose, and secretly launched three brigade-level military exercises, with only one goal:

After striking a heavy blow at the Northwest Army at Laohekou and provoking the Northwest Army, the battlefield was set up on the line from northern Hubei to northwest Hubei where the water network was full and the mountains were extended, and an active defensive trend was adopted to gradually consume the vital strength of the Northwest Army, so as to contain the strength of the Northwest Army and weaken the Northwest Army's reinforcements on the eastern front.

After sorting out all kinds of intelligence and secret orders from the Central Military Commission, An Yi asked Chief of Staff Zhao Rui: "Senior brother, how is the confrontation exercise between the 44th Division and the 17th Division going?" ”

"At present, the 44th Division has fallen into the downwind, and it has been slowed down for an hour and a half in the confrontation of the 50-kilometer rush to seize the high ground, and the tiger has lost his temper, and the whole division is determined to regain face in the next two confrontations, and it is estimated that it will be over in about eight hours, and the referee team of the combat department will send the report at that time."

After Zhao Rui finished answering, he began to ask An Yi's opinion: "The two brigades of the 16th Division in Jinan are also engaged in confrontation in the area of 45 kilometers to the north. ”

"We must go to Jinan, the confrontation exercise in Jinan is very targeted, the calculation is thorough, the plan is complete, the purpose is very strong, there are new experiences and ideas in the use of sappers from time to time, and the large-scale camouflage is also quite good, and it is very beneficial for us to go and see it. I intend to popularize several new cooperative training methods that he has practiced and summarized over the past year to all divisions of the corps, especially in the use of small-caliber squad mortars. An Yi secretly admired his junior brother Yin Jinan's hard work.

After sorting out the work at hand, An Yi instructed his adjutant Shen Fengdao to inform the special task force that he would go to the Beishan training base to see their training later.

An hour later, An Yi's motorcade drove to the Beishan training ground, and Lieutenant Colonel Fang Pengxiang, head of the special service regiment, and Sun Desheng, deputy of the regiment, heard the news and came on horseback, and saw from a distance that An Yi, chief of staff Zhao Rui, director of the Political Department, Li Fuqiang, chief of operations, and Liu Qing, director of the intelligence department, had already gotten out of the car, and hurriedly flew off their horses and reported loudly.

An Yi motioned for a pause: "Pengxiang, how about the brothers who came to train at the headquarters?" ”

Fang Pengxiang, who was born as a sniper, said with a smile: "I was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but then I slowly got used to it, all the brothers from the headquarters can get along with our brothers in the special brigade, and the subordinates and instructors at all levels strictly obey the commander's orders, and do not give any care to anyone, all of them are treated equally, and they are not given meals if they can't complete the training, and those who violate the order are still locked up and even whipped, through a month and a half of high-intensity training, everyone can basically keep up with the steps of our brothers, among which Tang Chuan and Huang Yu have the best performance, If it weren't for the fact that they were from the War Department, their subordinates would really want to keep these two talents. ”

"No one is mischievous?"

An Yi asked as he walked, causing a burst of laughter from the brothers around him.

Li Fuqiang, a veteran special forces instructor who has trained many snipers for independent divisions and various units over the years, joked: "At least half of them will scold their mothers every day." ”

The brothers laughed again, everyone in the headquarters knew that the Fang Pengxiang regiment named "Special Service Regiment" was not a department that performed internal special duties, but a real special brigade directly under the legion, more than 500 teachers and students from various departments of the Nanchang Security Forces, non-commissioned officer bases and the old Nanchang four martial arts halls formed this new collective, the regiment commander Fang Pengxiang learned sniping from Li Fuqiang during the independent regiment period, and later because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the chief of guard of Hu Jialin, the commander of the current independent division, and Hu Jialin's Northern Expedition ended to form the "Cangzhou Battalion" Later, Fang Pengxiang was transferred to the non-commissioned officer school as a special major instructor.

Sun Desheng, the deputy of the regiment from Shandong, came from the special brigade of the independent division, stood out in the series of battles of the independent division's western expedition to the Gui department, and was promoted to the captain of the major detachment by Hu Jialin, with strong organizational ability, tough and decisive style, and was a master of reconnaissance and interspersed with attacks, and Fang Pengxiang was an old subordinate of An Yi, and this time he was strongly recommended by Hu Jialin to enter An Yi's corps headquarters and serve as the deputy of the major of the special brigade.

The good-tempered Fang Pengxiang just smiled slightly and did not answer, and Sun Desheng, who was upright and unsmiling, replied loudly:

"The chief said right, until this morning when I came back from the strong training, the group of grandsons were still scolding the mother, the most fucked up of them is the deputy Zhang Yang of the teaching group, this kid has been cleaned up a few times and is honest, and the progress is not slow, and the first-hand pistol skills are passable, but I can't change the young master's temper and mouth damage, and I came back from training in the morning and began to scold my mother in the middle of breakfast, saying that our food is pig food, and his subordinates were angry and punished him for running another five kilometers, and the acting squad leader Huang Yuyi ran with him, this guy resisted loudly, The subordinates immediately asked people to drive the truck to send him out of the camp, he thought about it for a long time or gritted his teeth and ran, after running back he wanted to drink water and their captain did not let him, just two novices in the cooking class just killed pigs and made the ground full of pig blood, the subordinates ordered him to lie on the ground and lick, as a result, the grandson cried and wanted to leave again, the subordinate pulled out a gun and aimed it at his head, it is estimated that he knew that according to the military law of the special brigade, the subordinates really dared to kill him, and as a result, he cried and licked the pig's blood, and vomited on the ground, and the subordinates asked them to continue training and told him that if there was a kind, If you don't have the courage to leave, you will train Lao Tzu well, and if you want to die, you will die in the mountains. ”

The brothers couldn't laugh at this time, they all knew the details of the training of the special brigade, and they knew that the chief and deputy captains of the special brigade had the privilege of dealing with those who seriously violated orders and disturbed the morale of the military on the spot.

An Yi nodded casually: "You did a good job in victory, since the staff officers sent by these fifteen departments have voluntarily signed up for the three-month special training, then they must obey the management of the special brigade, even if they die on the training ground, they can't complain to anyone." I warned them before I came, and they all said that no matter how hard and tired they were, they would never give up halfway.

To tell you the truth, I have already made up my mind that if any of them can't stand this sin and quit, they will forever lose the opportunity to enter my Fifth Legion, and they will go back and forth from wherever they go.

The reason why they are so strict is because they are all very promising, but half of them generally have the same problem, that is, they are not strong enough, they do not really understand the obedience of soldiers, and they do not understand the hardships that they have to endure as a real soldier.

It is hoped that through the three-month intensive training, they will have some positive changes, which will only be good for them in their future life. Pengxiang, victory, take us to see them. ”

"Yes!"

Fang Pengxiang and Sun Desheng replied loudly and walked briskly in front.

The brothers followed An Yi over the small mountain col and into the snow-capped valley, and saw hundreds of shirtless men cutting wood from a distance, and a team of special team members with dirty bodies and sweaty bodies in pairs, carrying logs more than four meters thick at the mouth of the bowl to the mouth of the valley, neatly stacked, turned around and walked to the foot of the mountain.

An Yi walked to the edge of a few large piles of wood and stopped, quietly looking at the two oncoming team members.

When the two ** men on the upper body saw An Yi and his party, they were slightly taken aback and immediately stopped, but under the reprimand of the team leader, they had to speed up, crossed in front of everyone, put down the heavy logs on their shoulders and stacked them neatly, and walked quickly to the foot of the mountain where they were logging without looking back.

The man who was walking in front of him staggered back at An Yi, who was expressionless, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he quickly gritted his teeth and strode to keep up with his companion.

Seeing the blood stains left on his worn shoulder, An Yi shook his head slightly, sighed lightly, and whispered as if talking to himself: "Zhang Yang boy, as long as you survive this level, it will make you useful for the rest of your life......"
