Chapter 447 The Cavalry Regiment That Came Out

Nearly noon, the villagers saw more than 3,000 tired cavalry of the Zhilu Army driving into the military camp east of the town with the help of 5,000 soldiers of the Independent Division, they were very curious, and their minds couldn't turn for a while, and they were puzzled that the revolutionary army that fought and died was like brothers with the officers and soldiers of Zhilu, especially after the villagers learned that the cavalry general with more than 700 wounded was the famous "Little Zhang Fei" Zhang Chengzhu in the Central Plains. In the heartfelt sighs of the uncle and his relatives and friends, they had a deeper understanding of this cavalry brigade that was quite respected and loved by the people in the north.

The military camp on the east side of the town is located on the east bank of the Grand Canal, which is extremely convenient for transportation, and also has a wide warehouse and carriage shop, and the sudden influx of more than 700 wounded has made Li Meisheng, a medical officer who has been promoted to lieutenant colonel, and more than 20 military doctors under his command very busy.

The battalions of the Independent Division soon delivered 3,500 sets of new uniforms and shoes that had been vacated by the brethren to give the ragged cavalry brethren a bath and change into.

An Yi accompanied Zhang Chengzhu, Li Jinlong and others to patrol the camp, carefully arranged food and lodging, and went to the temporary hospital to visit the wounded and sick, and then returned to the town with confidence.

Zhang Chengzhu, Li Jinlong, and others walked from the backyard to the canal, bathed and changed clothes, and An Yi, Hu Jialin, and Cheng Guang gathered around the radio station and sent telegrams to the general headquarters and the former enemy headquarters, respectively, reporting in detail on the personnel and equipment of the cavalry units attached to the Yi, and requesting that two special trains be sent to the Hengshui station on Jinpu Road to send the cavalry brothers who had been given the title of "cavalry division of the First Group Army" back to the Xuzhou camp for rest.

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, An Yi, who was having lunch, received a call back from the General Headquarters and the former enemy headquarters, and was very happy, and immediately told Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong, who had changed into training uniforms of the independent division and had dinner together: The General Headquarters transferred two special trains from Tai'an Station to the north, and they would arrive at Hengshui Station at about 10 o'clock the evening after tomorrow.

Zhang Chengzhu finally put his mind at ease completely, discussed the marching matters, and sighed to An Yi: "Brother An, you are really amazing, you can mobilize two special trains in a blink of an eye, except for Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu in the Zhilu army, no one has this kind of power." ”

An Yi was not modest, but said with feeling: "Speaking of power, the younger brother has experienced a lot in the past two months, especially after the younger brother served as the chief of staff of the former enemy general headquarters of the First Group Army, his understanding of the word power has been further improved.

To tell the truth, although the younger brother was removed from the post of chief of the general staff of the former enemy because of the first war against Japan in Jinan, he still exercised the right of chief of staff, and the Cangzhou campaign this time was also the battle plan formulated by the younger brother.

In the middle of the night last night, after receiving the request of the younger brother, Chen Zhuo, the commander of the 26th Army, immediately sent two divisions to participate in the encirclement of Brother Zhang's cavalry brigade. ”

An Yi paused, and then said: "Of course, it is far from enough to have power, it has to be related, several eldest brothers know that the younger brother, Hu Zi and Ji Nan are all from the Huangpu line, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang has always taken care of the Huangpu family in every way, and he is even more caring for his students.

Second, since the younger brother led the Northern Expedition, he has had a lot of friendship with the general headquarters and the generals and commanders of various armies, and the commanders of the various armies are either the original Whampoa instructors of the younger brothers, or the seniors who have fought side by side in previous battles and formed friendships. The reason why the younger brother can do it in such a short period of time is that the younger brother has a good relationship with all aspects, for example, General Zhu Yizhi, the former commander-in-chief of our First Group Army, is the elder of the younger brother, and the younger brother calls him Uncle De in private. There is also General Yu Feipeng, the director in charge of logistics deployment and the whole army station, and the younger brother also has a deep friendship, after the last year after the Nanchang was laid, the Yu family and the younger brother jointly established the Jiangnan Grain, Oil and Food Factory in the old Nanchang, and now it has begun to make a profit, there is a connection of interests, I only need to say anything on the line. In addition, the freight vehicles on the Jinpu Road are currently concentrated in Tai'an and Xuzhou, Tai'an's wagons are managed by the first army corps that retreated southward, the commander of the first corps, General Liu Zhi, is the old boss of the younger brother after joining the army, and the deputy commander of the first army stationed in Tai'an, General Jiang Dingwen, is the eldest brother with a deep background in the younger brother, with the help of these aspects, so the call of the special train is so smooth, otherwise no one can do anything about the delay of two days in a certain link.

Others only see the achievements of the independent division, but the younger brother believes that the establishment of a relationship and the opening up of all aspects of the revolutionary army's contacts is the biggest harvest since the Northern Expedition. ”

The brothers echoed and felt the same way, and at this time, the quartermaster Chang Chunsheng, who had been riding to Cangzhou City on horseback before dawn, had a letter in his hand and rushed in to report:

"Report to the division, the subordinates took the letter from the division seat and saw the commander-in-chief Zhu, the commander-in-chief didn't say a word, immediately called the logistics quartermaster department of the headquarters to handle it, and sent 17 large trucks to send 100 fat pigs, 50 cows and 20 meat donkeys, as well as a car of Hengshui Lao Baigan and two cars of silk, incense candles, sugar cakes and other congratulatory gifts, not a penny of our money was confiscated, the convoy has now driven into the Hedong military camp to unload. This is a letter from Commander-in-Chief Zhu to the division......"

"It's hard work, Chunsheng, but you still have to go to Zhang Luo, call the eldest brother of the Hu family to lead the villagers to take all the goods away, and they have to do it personally, after all, people's appetites are different everywhere, this time let's follow the customs." An Yi took the letter and commanded.

Chunsheng took the order and left, and after An Yi read the letter, he handed the check for 100,000 yuan in the letter to Zhang Chengzhu: "Big brother, this is the marching expenses paid to the eldest brother by the former enemy headquarters on behalf of the commander-in-chief of Jiang according to the order of Commander-in-Chief Jiang. General Zhu Yizhi said in the letter that the headquarters is tidying up the old military camp in the southwest of Xuzhou City, increasing facilities, and storing horse materials. This military camp is on the shore of Yunlong Lake, covering a very wide area, the water and the sky are the same, it is estimated that the cavalry was originally specially stationed, from here it can be seen that the headquarters attaches great importance to the eldest brother, and it is estimated that the cavalry division of the eldest brother is stationed in the strategic place of Xuzhou. ”

Zhang Chengzhu took the check and sighed with emotion: "It's amazing, it's 100,000 carriages and horses as soon as you make a move, no wonder so many troops are willing to join Commander-in-Chief Jiang!" ”

Li Jinlong took the check handed by Zhang Chengzhu and smiled heartily: "What a big deal!" Commander-in-Chief Jiang is afraid that he has bought a lot of troops, especially our northern army, which has been fighting for many years, the people are not happy, and the army is also having a meal but not a meal, if Zhang Dashuai of the Zhilu Army had not sold five or six large mines in Jiaodong in a row, I am afraid that he would have been unable to open the pot for a long time, this time we will make a big deal! Brother An, half of the 100,000 yuan will be given to you, otherwise we won't be happy in our hearts! ”

"Save it, Brother Li! So many of your injured brothers are anxiously waiting for the money, the younger brother knows that you have not been paid for three months, so it is better to keep it for yourself, it is estimated that when you arrive in Xuzhou, the headquarters will send the military salary to the two eldest brothers. However, I really have something to trouble the two eldest brothers here, the younger brother has just received a cavalry battalion, and now it is temporarily stationed in Yanzhou, the younger brother plans to send hundreds of brothers to the eldest brother's camp to learn the management and combat of the cavalry, and the eldest brother has to help the younger brother. An Yi smiled and requested, and Hu Jialin also echoed.

Zhang Chengzhu listened to An Yi's words, nodded slightly, and then approached Li Jinlong with a serious face, and said to An Yi after a little discussion: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, the foolish brother discussed it with your brother Li, and felt that it would be better to hand over one hundred of my three hundred brothers to you, and then send our major battalion commander Xiao Wu, who graduated from the eighth phase of Baoding, and Li Yuewu, the deputy of the major battalion who graduated from the cavalry section of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School two years ago, to the independent division of the two elder brothers.

Xiao Wu is the sworn brother of Brother Fool and your Brother Li, the third in line, the brothers in the army are used to calling him Xiao Sanye, he has followed Brother Yu for many years, and his personality is calm and well-organized; Li Yuewu is the distant nephew of your eldest brother Jinlong, this kid is smart in war, has a good brain, but he is usually not serious, he can speak authentic Japanese, and he can also write a few crooked poems in Japanese.

My brother can be trusted, and the two of them will help the two brothers lead the ready-made cavalry battalion, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to form combat effectiveness, and there is no need to spend much effort on training. ”

An Yi, Hu Jialin and others were overjoyed, and they were so excited that they stood up and thanked them repeatedly.

Li Jinlong said with a smile: "Brother An, Brother Fool has to tell you about these two battalion commanders first, our old third Xiao Wu is a sincere person, rigorous and meticulous in his work, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the six relatives do not recognize him, and the brothers in the army are in awe of him." Foolish brother's nephew Yuewu can not do it, this kid is the youngest son of the foolish brother's uncle, he has a rich family since he was a child, and at the age of fourteen, he dared to pull a few streets of the little fart to drink and fight, his old man did not pay for medical expenses, and he dared to quietly go to the kiln at the age of fifteen, he was a famous flower Tai Sui in Langfang, after graduating from army high school, his family had no choice but to send him to Japan to study, I didn't expect this kid to be very competitive, and he was admitted to the cavalry section of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School with the first place in the preparatory students in Japan in eight months, After two years of study, the Japanese instructor admired him very much and let him go on to take the Japanese Army University, but this guy didn't take the exam but slept with the only daughter of the Japanese gang boss, and was chased and hid for several months before escaping back, which made us angry. However, this kid's military knowledge is still quite solid, he doesn't stick to the rules in war, he has his own opinions, his character is the opposite of Brother Xiao, and his brothers are called brothers and sisters, intimate, and they go to the kiln to drink flower wine together during the holidays, my eldest brother and I can't help him, this time it's better for Brother An and Brother Hu to discipline him for Brother Yu, although he is arrogant, but he is still very convinced by the independent division of the two brothers, presumably this time he can be honest! ”

An Yi smiled: "The younger brother likes this kind of talent the most, in this way, the personalities of the two of them just make up for each other, it is estimated that they have also discussed it in private, one sings with a red face, the other sings with a white face, and the brothers under his command have to honestly point where to fight?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Hu Jialin suggested to An Yi: "The people in the north have some riding skills, why don't we recruit a group of brothers who can ride horses in Cangzhou to join the army?" At least two or three thousand young men in these ten miles and eight towns are deserters who have just left the Zhilu Army, and they are veterans after two months of intensive training. ”

"Haha, the little brother just wants to tell you this, Cangzhou this place has been a place of martial arts since ancient times, it has always been a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the master is like a cloud, General Zhang Zhijiang of our general headquarters is a native of Cangzhou, I heard that he is preparing to build a national art museum in Nanjing City, and he wants to recruit dozens of martial arts leaders from Cangzhou martial arts, we can't be left behind, if we don't bring two or three thousand brothers back this time, it will be in vain!

If the seniors on the ground in Cangzhou are willing, simply ask them to move to Lao Nanchang with your Lao Hu family, and the house and the required settlement fee will be covered by us, and go to our Nanchang Guoshu Museum as a master, or enter our training base as a Guoshu instructor, we can also fund the seniors with unique skills to create a portal, so that my Chinese treasures will be passed on from generation to generation!

Huzi, you and Cheng Guang should also have their own guard companies, if it is possible, help Ji Nan recruit three or five hundred good men to go back, and let Ji Nan set up his own guard battalion, which will be of great benefit to the improvement of our team's combat effectiveness. This time, when we come to Cangzhou, we have to do these things well. ”

An Yi immediately told his full meaning.

Hu Jialin nodded excitedly, Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong were very surprised, and hurriedly asked if the establishment of the independent division was not restricted? It's not a small amount to recruit troops like this!

An Yi smiled and said that it didn't matter, and suggested that Zhang Chengzhu recruit as many cavalry as possible to supplement his team, otherwise he would suffer a loss when the establishment was fixed, Li Jinlong shook his head and smiled, and said confidently that as long as he settled down in Xuzhou and showed his name, he would be able to let the five or six thousand cavalry on the ground in Zhili gather under his banner in less than a month.
