Everywhere An Yi went, the morale of the army was inspired, the morale was like a rainbow, and the people of all ethnic groups were cheering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this short period of four days, the implementation of various war readiness plans in the two appeasement areas under the jurisdiction of An Yi has been accelerated, the procurement of various war readiness materials has been started in advance, and the plan of "replacing raw materials with property rights and factories" has won the strong support of Xiong Shihui, chairman of Jiangxi Province, and governments at all levels. Then load the automobiles, machinery, military products, daily industrial products and rare timber produced in southern Sichuan, and transport them to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The expansion project of four counties and one city in southern Yunnan has doubled its investment; The implementation of raw material purchase contracts, high-tech equipment purchase contracts, and grain purchase contracts signed with British and French colonial governments and multinational consortia has been accelerated; Strategic materials such as aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, canned food and medicines produced by Ou Yaoting's Nanyang Group have been continuously transported to southern Yunnan through the Yunnan-Vietnam Trade Road. The Zhaotong Strategic Material Reserve Warehouse and the newly completed Simao Grain Reserve Warehouse are busy and gradually enriched; A total of 280 new aircraft engines of three models and 2,400 sets of heavy-duty automobile engines and gearboxes secretly purchased from the United States have been loaded into ships at the ports of the West Coast of the United States. Sixty French Somoan S-35 tanks and 36 German 88-mm FLAK18 towed anti-aircraft guns, which were secretly purchased with the approval of the two major international banks and jointly guaranteed by the two major international banks, will also arrive in southern Yunnan within two months.

In these four days, An Yi personally inquired about the earthquake situation in central Sichuan, and was very satisfied with the rescue plan of the military and political circles of the Syrian Government Pacification Office, and then brought a large number of toys and gifts to the Phoenix Creek Branch of the Boy Scout Academy built at the northern foot of Qixing Mountain, where he met with more than 2,000 orphans rescued from the earthquake-stricken area and soothed the wounded hearts of the little ones.

On the morning of November 5, An Yi took turns to pick up his children one by one, kissed and kissed them on their little faces, said goodbye to his two beloved wives and Gong Qian, boarded a special plane, and flew to Baoding. The three squadrons of the Southwest Air Force, which are equipped with A-25 improved attack planes and new-type reconnaissance planes, will go all the way, and 28 fighters will replace the three squadrons of the 2nd Air Force Regiment, which have been stationed in North China for a long time, and will shoulder the heavy task of guarding the airspace of North China and assisting various armies in combat.

At 1:45 p.m., An Yi's special plane landed smoothly at Baoding Airport, and Song Zheyuan, commander of the 29th Army, Feng Zhi'an, commander of the 37th Division of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, and more than 10 generals of the 17th Army, including Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan, and Huang Zhi, came to greet them.

After the ceremony, An Yi and Song Zheyuan returned to Baoding camp in the same car, and Song Zheyuan took out the secret order signed by Chiang Kai-shek and asked An Yi to take a look.

An Yi had already received an urgent notice signed by Chiang Kai-shek, knowing that the officers and men of the 29th Army, who had been forced into a corner and could not bear it, saw that the 50,000 puppet army, with the support of the Japanese invaders, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Fu Zuoyi Department in Suidong.

Song Zheyuan, who was deeply afraid of the death of his lips and teeth, finally abandoned the illusion of living in peace with the Japanese invaders, and in a fit of rage, accepted the advice of his generals, and secretly flew to Luoyang to ask Chiang Kai-shek for instructions. With the assistance of the responsible persons of the General Staff Headquarters, a-for-tat military exercise plan was quickly drawn up to show the determination of the officers and men of the 29th Army to share the same hatred for the enemy and to swear not to give in.

An Yi was very pleased with this, and truthfully informed Song Zheyuan that he had received a secret order from the chairman of the committee and the Military Commission, and would do everything possible to assist the officers and men of the 29th Army in defending North China, and said to Song Zheyuan that if he had any instructions, he would definitely help as long as he could do it.

Song Zheyuan put away the secret order and sighed with emotion: "Brother An, I remember that during the Anti-Japanese War on the Great Wall, your and our armies fought side by side, life and death together, how fierce and unforgettable it was!" I also ask my brother to put aside his old suspicions, and the two departments of you and me will unite sincerely again, serve the country and the people, and fulfill my duty as a soldier. ”

"General Mingxuan is polite! The situation in North China has eroded so far, the main responsibility is not on Brother Mingxuan, nor on the brothers of the 29th Army who have always been admired and praised by the whole people, the main root cause is still on our cowardly central government and the central government, if there is no compromise and flattery of Wang Jingwei and He Yingqin, the leaders of the pro-Japanese faction in the political and military circles, and without those civilian officials who can only talk loudly, but have no backbone, they have repeatedly retreated and compromised, where would there be this critical situation? The so-called upward and downward effect, if our government is a little tougher on the issue of Japan, and dares to compete in the fields of Japan, economy and military, we soldiers have the backbone in our hearts, where do we need to be with the Japanese invaders? Therefore, Brother Mingxuan doesn't need to blame himself, you and I both know the hardships! An Yi comforted sincerely.

"Is this really my brother's heartfelt words?" Song Zheyuan's eyes were flushed, and he was extremely moved.

"Of course, it's from the bottom of my heart, when has Brother Mingxuan ever heard of the little brother's flattery? To tell the truth, there are not a few people among the people who scold me for being tolerant and self-respecting, but how many people can understand the hardships and hardships of you and me walking on thin ice? Although the younger brother always puts on a confident posture, he can only endure the joys and hardships by himself.

"Everyone knows that the strength of China and Japan is very different, only from the equipment and training of the two teams, our army and the Japanese army are far apart, not to mention the comparison of comprehensive national strength, knowing that as long as the war starts, our army will be in danger, but the younger brother and the brothers under his command still unswervingly straighten their waists and face difficulties, not for personal fame and group gains and losses, for the honor of soldiers and the dignity of the nation.

"A great sage once said that people are inherently dead, or as heavy as Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, for the country and the people to die, heavier than Mount Tai, and die as deserved, so I have no hesitation!"

An Yi's calm words were filled with perseverance and heroism.

Song Zheyuan was deeply touched: "Heavy than Mount Tai, lighter than feathers...... Well said! I finally know why An Jiajun is so strong and so popular among the Chinese people, and I am really ashamed in comparison! ”

An Yi smiled humbly, not wanting to dwell on the topic of who should be responsible for the sharp turn of the situation in North China, and consciously changed the topic:

"Brother Mingxuan, I heard that after the Japanese army exercise, 5,000 officers and soldiers marched through Beiping City, and wherever the Japanese invaders went on the outskirts of Pingjin, the crops were destroyed and the grains were not harvested, but what happened?"

Song Zheyuan nodded painfully: "That's right, I'm sorry for my fathers and fellow villagers in North China!" When the brothers in the army witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese invaders, their hearts were like knives and they gritted their teeth, and only then did they have a plan for military exercises with one heart and one heart and one hatred for the enemy. Finally, under the joint discussion between the committee and the members of the Central Military Commission, it was decided to reduce the scale of the exercise, and only mobilize the 37th Division and the 132nd Division to carry out a five-day confrontation exercise, and it was also necessary for the brothers of the 17th Army and the air force of the elder brother to cooperate closely, so as to effectively deter the Japanese army and boost the hearts of our army and the people. ”

An Yi nodded, even if Chiang Kai-shek and *** did not give the order, their troops would cooperate closely, and the officers and men of the An Jiajun would take the initiative to bring it up, this is not a question of gain or loss and face of any part, but a question related to the overall situation of the entire country's resistance against Japan. If the An Jiajun turned a deaf ear and watched coldly, it was very likely that the Japanese invaders would become angry and suddenly attack Song Zheyuan's troops, and then trigger a full-scale war between China and Japan in advance, disrupting the overall deployment of the central government that was quietly preparing for a big war in one fell swoop.

"Brother An, what do you think about this?"

Song Zheyuan saw An Yi contemplating his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

An Yi replied truthfully: "The younger brother is thinking about the war in Suidong. In order to ensure the smooth progress of your army's exercise and achieve the goal of boosting the morale of the army and the people, the Suidong side must fight a beautiful battle, so that the Japanese army will not dare to act rashly and rashly. At the same time, the younger brother also planned to transfer out a division of General Wan Fulin, which had just been reequipped, to change guards with General Lu Yixuan's 17th Division, which would involve the attention of the Japanese army and distract the Japanese army. ”

Song Zheyuan was overjoyed: "In this way, it will be foolproof, thank you Brother An for your kindness!" ”

"Where, where, Brother Mingxuan is polite, you and I are both party-state humerus, why do you say this? Originally, the younger brother planned to go to General Fu Zuoyi's headquarters the day after tomorrow to take a look, but now it seems that it is better to let General Hu Jialin go, and the younger brother will stay in Baoding during the exercise, urging all armies to fully assist the brothers of the 29th Army.

"Let's talk about it later, and then come up with an emergency plan, I don't believe it, the Japanese invaders dare to take the opportunity to make trouble and take the initiative to provoke trouble, if the Japanese invaders really dare to do it, the younger brother will not hesitate to risk ruining his reputation, wave his army to take Pingjin, and kill him in a river of blood!" An Yi made up his mind.

Song Zheyuan was moved: "Good! Everything is subject to the arrangement of the elder brother, if it really triggers a full-scale war between China and Japan, I will definitely advance and retreat with the elder brother, just like the elder brother just said, die for the country and the people, heavier than Mount Tai, and die as deserved! ”

The convoy entered the Baoding camp and went straight to the headquarters, and the generals immediately held a joint meeting to repeatedly deduce and scrutinize the 29th Army's exercise plan.

An Yi said the main countermeasures, and there was nothing he could do, and the specific action steps were arranged and solved by all the brothers under his command one by one. An Yi sat at the long table, holding a teacup and looking at the large map, as if he was engrossed in listening to the opinions of the generals, but his heart had already flown to southern Yunnan, to the joint logistics headquarters where Yang Bin and Huang Yu were first-class generals.
