Chapter 427 Hidden Worries

The military camp in the north of Xuzhou was busy, and when An Yi led his troops to arrive, more than 3,000 wounded and sick who had returned ahead of schedule had already been arranged, and the barracks of two regiments had been vacated as wards, and Professor Strong, the chief surgeon of the Jiangnan Medical College in Nanchang, and five surgical experts were leading more than 160 military cadets who had studied in Jiangnan Medical College for half a year to carry out treatment work. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Seeing An Yi coming to inspect, the experts smiled and nodded as a greeting, and there was no time to shake hands with An Yi and talk in detail.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already past dinner time. An Yi stuffed two biscuits at random, and sat under the street lamp at the door of the division office wearing only a pair of pants, and the elders of the logistics section often personally cut and shaved An Yi's hair.

An Yi, who closed his eyes and enjoyed quietly, suddenly had a feeling of going back in time, the scene of Lao Chang giving him a haircut in the moldy camp in the west of Guangzhou for the first time kept coming to mind, thinking that there were less than one-third of the more than 200 brothers in the company at that time, An Yi felt a faint pain in his heart.

"Lao Chang, I didn't say you, you shouldn't have come with you this time, how good is it to stay in Old Nanchang? It's not easy for your daughter-in-law to have a big belly now! After the war this time, I want to transfer you back to the non-commissioned officer base and carry your rank of colonel for a few years to live a comfortable life. An Yi sighed faintly.

"Boss, what do you say? My subordinates are not yet thirty, and when they can't walk, how can you discriminate against me? The subordinates are no longer what they used to be, and the subordinates who plan to add, subtract, multiply and divide can easily deal with it, and the pistol method is not blown, the subordinates claim to be the second, and no one in the entire quartermaster logistics department dares to call it the first, as long as they can use it, the subordinates can also pick up the gun and charge into battle, not necessarily worse than those grandsons of the main regiment! ”

Chang Baofang pursed his lips and replied dissatisfiedly, but the razor in his hand was not affected at all, and he still played smoothly and skillfully.

An Yi smiled slightly: "I have indeed made progress, and I can use new words!" I remember Uncle Dao once said that if you can study for a few years, it will be better to be lucky...... However, look at this troubled era, no one knows what will happen in the next few decades, as long as you are still in the army, there will still be opportunities for development, and you may not be a general for another three or five years.

However, Lao Nanchang really needs manpower, think about it, our old brothers' small industries are all there, can you rest assured if you don't let others look at them? In fact, no matter the front or rear, it is an indispensable and important part of our cause, and the key is in our own army.

During this time, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and northern Jiangsu from various places in various places continued to pour into Lao Nanchang, young and strong people all want to be soldiers, and a person can support a family as a soldier, Ji Nan and Lao Yang They are very busy, even if they are strictly controlled according to the strictest conscription standards, they still recruit 5,000 good soldiers in two months, and there are tens of thousands of people waiting outside the door, so you can help them share some after you go back, and you and parrots are the most experienced among our brothers in this regard. ”

Lao Chang put away the razor and looked at it with satisfaction, and then removed the towel on his shoulder to wipe An Yi's face: "Okay!" I listen to the boss, but no matter what, I have to let my subordinates follow the boss and the brothers to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and my subordinates are unwilling to do things that are abandoned halfway. ”

An Yi stood up and shook off the broken hair on his body, and patted Lao Chang's shoulder: "I didn't say that I would let you go back now, but I just said hello to you first, and when the time comes, I will definitely let Chang Baofang wear the rank of colonel and go back in style as a hero of the Northern Expedition." ”

"Hey, hey! I mean......"

Chang Baofang was relieved, and happily cracked his big mouth, Lu Xiong, the star officer on duty, happened to pass by, saw Lao Chang helping An Yi get a haircut, touched the long hair and full beard on his head, sat down with a smile, took off his hat and asked Lao Chang to help, Lao Chang patted his sleeve and said:

"Go, go, Lao Tzu's current position is one level higher than your grandson, you see that the chief is not respectful and let the chief serve you, what kind of system has it become? What's more, you are now wearing the armband of the star officer, and you are actually doing private work in the execution of the mission, what does it look like? Hmph, Lao Tzu will go to Ying Wu to talk to see how he, the party representative and chief of the political work section, will deal with it...... Ying Wu? Where are you, Huang Yingwu......"

Lu Xiong's eyes widened, and when he saw that Lao Chang was really looking for people everywhere, he quickly stood up and put on his hat, and rushed to the gate of the barracks quickly.

After taking a refreshing well water bath and changing into loose training clothes, An Yi sat on the rattan chair next to the big table in the middle of the division headquarters, leisurely lit a cigarette, and Luo Lei, the chief of the communications section, put down the phone and came to him: "Master's seat, the call from the attendant's room, the principal is invited!" ”

An Yi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked Lin Yaodong to prepare the car, walked into the inner bedroom specially reserved for him, quickly changed into a clean and tidy general's uniform, and rushed to the main hall of the east courtyard of Pengcheng Daying after a while.

Wang Shihe, Yu Jishi and a group of senior brothers saw An Yi come in, and greeted him warmly, congratulating him and asking this and that, An Yi answered honestly one by one, and seven or eight senior brothers sat in the lobby chatting and exchanging experiences in a low voice, while enjoying the fragrant tea.

More than ten minutes later, a group of guests from Shanghai left Chiang Kai-shek's study, walked through the lobby and left quickly, An Yi glanced up and didn't know anyone. Wang Shihe smiled, leaned into his ear and whispered to An Yi that the seven people who left were Shanghai Party Headquarters and Shanghai Tang celebrities.

An Yi nodded, said goodbye to the senior brothers, followed Yu Jishi to the study, took off his hat and reported loudly: "Student An Yi is ordered to come and ask the principal to admonish!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek, who was at the desk, took a few steps forward, stood two meters in front of An Yi, looked up and down, and praised with his chin: "Not bad!" Not bad! He's a good soldier, but he looks a lot thinner...... When the time comes, ask someone to make a good cup of tea for your junior brother. ”

"Yes!"

Yu Jishi left with a smile, and there were very few people who could make the principal order to serve tea.

Chiang Kai-shek turned around and walked to the main sofa and sat down, and when he saw An Yi standing straight aside, he pointed to the sofa on the side: "Sit down, this time you have made such a great contribution, I don't know how to reward you, report the detailed battle report and the list of meritorious personnel as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you Principal for cultivating! The students are very satisfied with such a valuable opportunity to exercise. The Independent Division is in the process of compiling a statistical record of the battle report, which will be submitted to the headquarters tomorrow morning. ”

An Yi replied respectfully, and then asked in a low voice: "Headmaster, the student requests to resign from the post of deputy commander of the Third Army, this appointment is an expedient measure to incorporate the 33rd Army, now that the battle on the front line of Yufeng has ended, and the departments of the Third Army Corps have entered a period of recuperation, and the students are not able to help them with the title of deputy commander, I feel ashamed!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "Very good!" In the afternoon, General He Guiyan sent me a telegram asking you to continue in your post as deputy commander of the Third Army. In view of the overall situation, I politely rejected him and suggested that he appoint General Xia Lingbing as the deputy commander of the corps, which I estimated was a pity. It can be seen that he admires you very much, last year in Taierzhuang, this year in Yufeng on the front line, you and him are fighting side by side, and it is normal for the relationship to deepen. I am glad that you are so humble and take care of the overall situation at such a young age, so I should concentrate on staying at the former enemy command as chief of staff. ”

"Everything is at the headmaster's orders."

After An Yi finished answering, he stood up and took the teacup handed by his senior brother Yu Jishi and thanked him in a low voice, and watched him go out and close the door before slowly sitting down.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction: "The Fengpei Battle and the Yutai Battle have been officially named the 'Yufeng Campaign' by the headquarters, and the newspapers call it the Yufeng Victory. In this battle of great significance and brilliant results, you have made great contributions and won double special commendations from the General Headquarters and the Central Military Commission, and your independent division, the brave and tenacious 40 th Army of General He Guiyan, and the 27 th Army of General Xia Lingbing's tenacious sacrifice are all among the commendations.

Originally, I planned to appoint you as the commander of the 33rd Army, but considering the current situation of the 33rd Army, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the subsequent northward operation, and it is really a huge waste to let you stay in the rear to train as an incomplete army commander.

Again, with the collapse of Sun Chuanfang's army, Zhang Zongchang of the Zhilu coalition army was also at the end of his rope, and only Zhang Zuolin of the Feng Department was still gritting his teeth and insisting. Seeing that the success of the Northern Expedition is imminent, it is natural to streamline the administration of the army, develop the economy, and pay attention to the people's livelihood, and the number at the army level will be revoked accordingly, and it will not be restored until it encounters a major war. ”

An Yi hurriedly said: "Principal, the students will not have other ideas, on the contrary, the students are very supportive of the principal's decision. From the Northern Expedition to the present, students have seen a lot of troops, but there are not many who can really be called revolutionary armies, and there are not a few generals like Xu Fentao who was corrected by the headquarters of our revolutionary army, and the army they led is really disappointing, not only increasing the burden on the people, but also swaying from side to side, and there are many hidden dangers. ”

"You always make me feel relieved!"

Chiang Kai-shek was quite emotional, took a sip of water from his cup, and paused for a while before continuing: "Three hours ago, the six chief officers of the Political Training Department and the General Staff Office jointly recommended you to enter the General Headquarters Staff Office and proposed for your promotion.

I thought about it for a long time, and I thought it would be better to put it down for the time being, and it would be a matter of course for you to be promoted to lieutenant general, but we had to wait for the victory of the Northern Expedition to be handled by the Central Military Commission, and we also had to take into account the interests of other group armies. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, the General Headquarters will also be abolished, and a supreme leadership body of the whole team will be reorganized. ”

An Yi nodded: "All students are subject to the principal's arrangement." ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, and pushed the letter on the coffee table in front of An Yi: "This is the letter that the eldest lady of the Feng family entrusted your wife to transfer to you, you can take a look." ”

An Yi's heart twitched slightly for no reason, and he couldn't wait to pick up the envelope and open it to read, Chiang Kai-shek smiled when he saw this, stood up with the cup, returned to the desk and sat down, and continued to approve the document.

An Yi pondered after reading the letter, Feng Jieyun in the letter to the first time in Hangzhou, Zhenjiang and Lao Nanchang when they got along, as well as the joy of this visit to the Xuzhou military camp, overflowing, An Yi seemed to see this stunning beauty slender figure and charming smiling face, especially the pair of clear eyes, which seemed to have a faint smile, and seemed to contain a trace of melancholy, for a while An Yi was sluggish, sitting on the sofa holding a letter with a faint orchid fragrance, vaguely feeling so familiar, but so far away.

After sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, An Yi slowly stood up, put the letter in his pocket and carefully buttoned it, came to Chiang Kai-shek's big desk, and whispered:

"Thank you, principal, thank you, Mrs. The student didn't expect that Miss Feng was going to study in the UK, and if she had known, the student would have blessed her two days ago. ”

Chiang Kai-shek put down the brush, put a few documents into the blue document bag printed with the blue sky and white stars, raised his head and looked at An Yi with a smile: "You are still young, don't worry." ”

"Students are in no hurry." An Yi hurriedly replied.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "In the current era, no one restricts you young people from falling in love, and there are many three wives and four concubines among the generals of our revolutionary army, not to mention an outstanding talent like you?" Traditional habits are not so easy to change. However, you are a Christian like me now, and you can only have one wife in this life, so you have to take care of it and don't regret it. ”

An Yi was relieved, and immediately joked: "Principal, sometimes students think about being a Christian, it's really not worth it!" If there is a next choice, the student wants to join Islam. ”

"Why?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at An Yi in surprise.

"Because Islam can marry as many wives as you want, as long as you can afford it, no one will say anything about marrying a hundred." An Yi explained with a smile.

Chiang Kai-shek laughed and rebuked: "It's just nonsense! Let me tell you, in terms of marriage, you should also set an example for the soldiers of the revolutionary army...... Well, you are also tired, take this document back and read it carefully, and have a rough idea in your heart, according to the latest information, the Japanese government is likely to approve the military to send troops to Shandong, and it is estimated that under the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, it is to stop our great cause of the Northern Expedition, which is essentially to protect their vested interests in North China and the three eastern provinces. From today onwards, I will ask someone to send you a copy of all the military information about North China, all of which are at the top secret level, and you will have to sign and hand it back after reading it. ”

An Yi's heart sank, and he suddenly felt the weight of responsibility, and took the file with both hands and solemnly stood upright: "Thank you for the principal's trust, the students will be conscientious and fulfill their responsibilities!" ”

"After you go out, go to the West Courtyard, before you come in, General Yizhi just talked to me on the phone, and he was very happy to hear that you came back, I guess I am waiting for you with wine, let's go!"

"Yes! The student said goodbye. ”
