Paiben has been annoyed recently, and Fan Shisheng used the attack along the way as an excuse to "stay in Jingzhou City and unwilling to go to the west of Hunan and Hubei Province, and Zhang Sheng, who had already moved his headquarters forward to Wufeng County, sent three urgent telegrams to Fan Shisheng to lead his troops to Shimen in northern Hunan via Yichang, otherwise he would accuse Fan Shisheng to the central government for disobeying military orders." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fan Shisheng was on the front line of Xiangfan, where he was unfamiliar with his life, and he could not advance or retreat, and countless hungry people were constantly flocking to the southern Henan region such as Deng County and Xinye, and they needed to resettle and rescue themselves. so that it can be more convenient to eliminate the red bandits".

Fan Shisheng's request made Chiang Kai-shek feel deeply embarrassed, first, he very much hoped that his descendants could be stationed in Xiangfan, an important place on the Hubei-Henan border that had been a battleground for soldiers in ancient times, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future control of Hubei and Henan provinces. He had no choice but to order Fan Shisheng to continue to lead the division headquarters and the 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division to be stationed in Xiangwan, and temporarily hand over the 151st and 152nd Brigades to Zhang Ben to control according to the original sentence, so as to prevent the rapidly growing Red Army of He Long from spreading from the east of Xiangxi Sichuan to the west of Hubei. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to An Yi to solicit opinions, and finally transferred the 51st Brigade of Zhu Shigui's 17th Division from Jiujiang to Xiangfan on the grounds of "ensuring the smooth progress of disaster relief and resettlement", and handed it over to the Disaster Relief Committee for control, so as to make up for the shortage of troops on the Hubei-Henan border.

On the afternoon of 10 June, Major General Zhang Cunzhuang, chief of staff of the 44 th Army of the Xiangxi Garrison and deputy commander of the Xiangxi Garrison Command, led a security brigade of 5,000 officers and men to Yichang via Shimen and Yidu, and handed over this Xiangxi soldier who had undergone half a year of arduous training to An Yi to command, so as to relieve An Yi's lack of troops.

Dong Yingji, the 26-year-old colonel of the security brigade, came from the special brigade of the independent division, and was inexplicably happy to see his old boss An Yi, and immediately led his officers and men to Yuan'an County, 60 kilometers north of Yichang, where the brigade headquarters and special service battalion were stationed in the county seat, and the three regiments under his command respectively guarded the three towns of Hehua, Yangping, and Maoping in the north, and the other regiment patrolled and guarded the two roads leading to Xiangfan and Baokang to relieve the victims, and formed a line with the 51st Brigade of Zhu Shigui's 17th Division, which was stationed in Xiangwan, and the security problem that An Yi was worried about day and night was solved.

At noon the next day, An Yi set up two simple banquets at the headquarters of the Yiling Battalion to see off Zhang Cunzhuang and more than a dozen generals of the 44th Army, who were about to receive 20,000 victims to be resettled in the Changde area.

When the wine was half-drunk, the Xiangxi general proofread the construction of the Xiangxi Arsenal and the Jiangxi Security Command 5,000 and Brother Cheng Bing, and they were very excited to tell An Yi and Yin Jinan and others about the touching deeds of the construction of resettlement villages. An Yi was very happy. Carefully inquire about the situation of Zhang Cunzhuang's three resettlement villages in Changde.

Zhang Cunzhuang said with satisfaction: "It can accommodate three catties of 20,000 disaster victims. The brothers of the Sixth Regiment of the Engineer Corps felt the righteousness of the elders and villagers of Changde, and in the three days before leaving for Huxi, they dug a five-kilometer-long canal for the villagers of the three nearby villages, and blew up the mountain and quarried stones and moved them to the side of the canal. Together with more than 100 tons of cement, he handed it over to the villagers, and politely said that the military affairs were busy, and it was too late to repair the canals, and the villagers were so moved that they could not hold the hands of the engineering brothers who were full of wounds and blood blisters.

The commanders of each brigade and regiment took the initiative to find Zhang Shaodong, the brother of Ziyang, the division commander, and asked for some help for the local villagers and the upcoming victims. When my uncle heard the report, he was very emotional, saying that only Brother An could bring out such a good soldier. Now the officers and men of the whole army are moving to learn from the Sixth Regiment of Cheng Bing, and the generals at the table echoed the voice, and Zhang Shaodong, who came with him, let An Yi relax, and he will definitely make Changde Resettlement New Village a model resettlement village, and treat the victims of the disaster in Henan and Shaanxi as his own people, and never miss a pound of food and a piece of clothing.

An Yi solemnly thanked Zhang Cunzhuang, Zhang Shaodong and other generals, and after toasting everyone, he put down the cup and sighed:

"Brothers, do you know the origin of the Sixth Regiment of the Engineer Corps, maybe you have guessed a little, let me tell you, the 1,200 brothers of the Sixth Regiment are all from Shandong, and most of them moved to Lao Nanchang after the floods in northern Lubei. They can understand the bitterness and helplessness of the victims better than anyone else, so no matter how hard they work, they will not complain.

Over the years, they have sacrificed 37 brothers in the construction of highways and bridges in Jiangxi, but they never complain of hardship and tiredness, and they have the courage to move forward and never flinch in the face of difficulties, and have won three commendations from the Jiangxi military and civilian governments and the provincial government. Many brothers hurriedly bid farewell to their families and their newlywed wives, took the lead in boarding the first ship and quietly sailed to Changde, and said to General Yang Bin and General Lao Shoudao before leaving. Please rest assured that the Sixth Regiment will never disgrace the old Nanchang, never disgrace the Shandong people, and never disgrace the An Jiajun. , for fear of causing misunderstanding up and down and causing unnecessary trouble, but since the brothers of the sixth regiment gritted their teeth and called out. Brother X acquiesced, the reason is that any team must have its own soul, so that all the soldiers have a spiritual and emotional dependence and belonging, An Yi thanked these brothers for their trust. I have always regarded them as my own relatives in my heart. ”

Hearing An Yi's words, the generals sighed for a while. Zhang Shaodong asked with interest: "General An, the independent division was the first to be called the Anjia Army, and then the 16th Division of the Southern Brother was also called the Anjia Army by the people in western Hubei, and now it seems that the Jiangxi security forces will also be called the Anjia Army." I don't know what part of the next Anjia army will be? ”

Everyone consciously closed their mouths, and all looked at An Yi with concern, An Yi pondered for a moment, and replied solemnly: "There will be, and it will appear soon, as long as I, An Yi, serve as the commander of the army again." I won't let anyone take off my captain's hat, all the troops under my command. It will become a new Anjia Army, a Anjia Army that always puts the interests of the country and the nation in mind, and a younger brother of the Anjia Army who makes the enemy fearful and the people trust and support, can say and can do it! ”

The generals were stunned, looking at An Yi, who was raising his head and exuding a domineering aura up and down, and was shocked by An Yi's heroic bearing and shining eyes for a while.

Zhang Cunzhuang laughed and applauded loudly, which immediately attracted applause from the audience. Ansang waved again and again, smiled and said that it was rude, and stood up with a glass of wine and a glass of Han people.

Two o'clock in the afternoon. After saying goodbye to Zhang Cunzhuang and other brothers, An Yi stood on the high platform at the entrance of the pier, watched the 20,000 refugees boarding the boat to cross the south bank, took a deep breath, and raised his feet before walking down the steps. Suddenly, I heard a wave of grateful calls from all directions, and the sound was sad and shook the sky.

An Yi couldn't help but stop, turned to look at the pier and the dense ferry, and saw that thousands of victims were all kneeling in his direction, his nose couldn't help but sour, and he waved his hand and shouted:

"Have a nice trip, folks! Changde's fathers, villagers, and officers and soldiers have prepared a place to live and a field for everyone, it doesn't matter if you are a little tired, you can live by gritting your teeth, and An Yi will also go to visit the villagers! Brethren of the Forty-Fourth Army. An Yi, please you, I"

Tears welled up in An Yi's eyes. He couldn't say a word anymore, and quickly turned and jumped off the platform. Strode over to the car and got inside. Knock on the back of the driver's seat, close your eyes, and let the tears of grief fly all the way.

On the wharf, hundreds of special officials of the central government, local celebrities and village elders in Yichang, and nearly 1,000 officers and men of the 16th Division and the Military Police Corps watched the car gradually move away with tears in their eyes, sighing one by one. Wiping away tears silently, more than a dozen reporters forgot to raise their cameras, and they were also deeply moved like everyone else, and burst into tears, "It's almost the corner of the street." Where to go now?. Shen Fengdao, the adjutant beside him, handed An Yi a handkerchief. Whisper asking.

"Hmm" Let's go back to the camp, I need to go to the makeshift hospital to see the soldiers and victims who are being treated. At this juncture, don't let the plague flow into Yichang. ”

An Yi wiped his face with a handkerchief and blinked. He exhaled heavy air: "What is the news of Mr. Zhu Henghuai's medical detachment?" ”

"It's still last night's news, I'm afraid that there are more and more addicted refugees who need to be quarantined urgently. For five days, more than 200 of them have been guarding three checkpoints 60 kilometers to the north, screening all refugees in three ways, burying 3 to 400 people every day, and the brothers of the Xiangxi Security Brigade have also blocked all the roads to the south and forbade traffic.

At present, there is a war going on in the east direction of the Ba, and few refugees come from the northwest direction, but the situation on the front line of Xiangfan is worrying, the two detachments led by Professor Chris of Jiangnan Hospital have all thrown themselves into that direction, and the brothers of the 51st Brigade are also on duty in strict compliance with the regulations of the committee, but there are too many passages there, and if General Fan Shisheng does not actively cooperate, it will be difficult to control the southward movement of cancer patients as much as possible. Shen Fengdao sighed slightly.

An Yi thought about it and resolutely made a decision: "Then tomorrow we will go north to Xiangfan, I will personally sit there for a while, I don't believe that I can't control the flood of weight loss." Yichang's side has basically straightened out. There are officials from various ministries of the central government, and Jinan assists from the side, the problem is not very big, but it is the front line of Xiangfan, where the most officials are dispatched by the central ministries and the most miscellaneous, I don't feel at ease. Shen Fengdao nodded.

The sedan entered the heavily guarded barracks and stopped in front of the large barracks in the east, An Yi got out of the car, beckoned to the little girl standing by the gate timidly, and said with a smile: "Xinghua, come over and let my uncle see the little girl hesitated, slowly walked towards An Yi, An Yi picked her up, and asked with concern: "Are you still hungry?"

Xiao Ruzi shook his head, straightened the big hat crooked to the side for An Yi, and his innocent little face was full of satisfaction: "The flowers are full, the aunts in white are very good, and the mother is also laughing, and the younger brother has a paste to eat, and he doesn't cry An Yi carefully looked at the little girl who was washed white and clean and put on a half-new and old blue floral short dress, and joked with the little girl in the Yuxi dialect learned online: "Our flowers are so beautiful today!" Let's just make my uncle a daughter.

"No! The flowers want a mother and a younger brother. ”

Xiao Xinghua twisted her body and was unhappy, An Yi shook her head and smiled, nodded with the little nurse who rushed over, hugged Xiao Xinghua and came to the bed of the Ma family's sister-in-law, and after a closer look, the Ma family's sister-in-law who was cleaned and changed into a white soldier's uniform turned out to be quite beautiful, although Shensi's eyes showed gratitude and shyness, they also had vitality and luster, the burnt yellow face turned white, and after the purulent wound on the leg was cleaned and stitched, the person was also a lot more energetic, and the ruddy mouth was closed, Seeing An Yi holding his daughter coming, he wanted to hold it up and thank him.

An Yi smiled politely and greeted politely, put down the little apricot blossom and comforted in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Ma, don't worry, Uncle Ma and they all went to Changde in the south, there are houses and land over there, and when they get there, each person can still receive fifteen catties of rice, half a catty of oil and one catty of salt per month, basically they can survive, it is estimated that they can catch up with the summer planting, and the autumn days will be better, you can rest assured."

Sister-in-law Ma nodded frequently, and when she saw An Yi saying goodbye and leaving, she finally spoke timidly: "General." I, I'll be healed in a few days, "What about the child?" ”

"Let's live first, you and the children will go with the next group of villagers, the resettlement point is also Xiangxi, more than 60 kilometers away from Uncle Ma's Xinliu Village, you should be able to see it." An Yi patiently Sister-in-law Ma nodded again, and then lowered her head with a frown, obviously a little disappointed in this arrangement, but embarrassed to trouble An Yi again.

An Yi thought for a while and asked, "Sister-in-law Ma." If you have any ideas, just say it, or if you want to work in a big city, or go to your relatives or something, I will let the military police send you there "no more relatives" I, I am just afraid, I have never been out of such a far door, and the farthest in the past 22 years is only to the entrance of the village, but as Yu "I am afraid, the two children are small"

Sister-in-law Ma's tears welled up all of a sudden. Holding Bai Temp's face with both hands, his face twitched, and the little nurse hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him in a low voice.

An Yi shook his head and smiled: "After the ghost gate, everything is easy to do, what else can stump you?" Don't worry, if you don't have a suitable place for a while, you can go to my headquarters to help cook first, and it's not too late to leave when you have a good place in the future. Okay, Sister-in-law Ma rests more, I'll be busy first", flowers, goodbye! ”

Again, seeing that Xiao Xinghua's voice was very low, she looked very ashamed.

Sister-in-law Ma watched An Yi's shrug disappear at the door, wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes were full of heartfelt gratitude, she didn't know at this time, she never left An Yi's house again, out of gratitude she became An Yi's housekeeper, and a pair of children finally became An Yi's righteous daughter.
