June 13. He Jian's Fourth Route Army Zhou Lan's division captured Liuzhou, Guangxi, Wu Shang and Liu Jianxu's two divisions followed, and went deep into the hinterland of the Gui system to give Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaolian a blow to the head, but in just five days, the scheming Bai Chongxi waved his division to cut off the back road, and the other two Gui divisions attacked fiercely on the left and right, and the three Hunan divisions hurriedly retreated, suffering heavy losses, and retreated from Liuzhou to Yongfu and Pingle were still untenable, until they were beaten out of the forest and fled back to Hunan, and half of the three divisions were gone. Han Fuqu got his wish and became the chairman of Henan Province, but he could face the threat of his brothers in the Northwest Army. can only pull the ambitious Tang Shengzhi to help, and the two divisions of the Fifth Route Army easily entered Henan. Occupy the line from Zhengzhou to Xinyang, and are reluctant to move the nest.

In the southwest, "the army is still fighting fiercely against each other; Li Chao, who defeated Zhou Xicheng and defeated Guiyang, officially led his troops into this economic, political, and cultural center, and before he could take a breath, he called the central government and asked for canonization; Long Yun saw that the Hunan army was defeated by Bai Chongxi, and the army drove to the junction of southern Guizhou and northern Guangxi, immediately stopped and watched, and urgently ordered a brigade occupying Anshun not to move for the time being, in case the remnants of the diehard Zhou Xicheng, who were drowned after the defeat, took the opportunity to counterattack.

In the southeast, Li Jishen's subordinate Xu Jingtang was beaten by Jiang Guangding and threw Chaoshan and fled to Fujian. In the northeast, the commander of the Far Eastern Army, who began to mobilize troops due to the issue of the Middle East Road, massed on a large scale in the Sino-Soviet border area, and commanded the Soviet army to provoke the Northeast Army again and again, was actually General Gallen, the former military chief adviser of the Whampoa Military Academy.

The war in the northwest basically stopped, Feng Yuxiang first telegraphed to go into the field to cultivate and study in Huashan, secretly gathered the old troops to accumulate strength, and under the urging of Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan and others, once again made his attitude clear to the whole country:

I have arrears of salaries, and I don't have anything else to worry about, that is, I go overseas! The meaning is very clear, that is, my remaining hundreds of thousands of troops have no money to eat, and the only thing I am worried about is that my troops are in arrears and have no money, and when the central government sends the money down, I will go to the wilderness and go to sea, otherwise I will not leave. But no matter how Feng Yuxiang calculated, he was finally sold by Yan Xishan: on the twenty-first day; Feng Yuxiang traveled from Huayin in Shaanxi to Yuncheng in Shanxi, and what awaits him will be the fate of house arrest.

The 23rd was a very special day, on this day Chiang Kai-shek and Wu Zhihui, Zhao Daiwen, Kong Xiangxi and other civil and military officials went north to meet with Yan Xishan to discuss the current situation, Tang Shengzhi and Fu Fuqu under Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, completed the handover of defense, Fu Fuqu's department after Shi You's third department was transferred to Anhui Haozhou garrison, all of them drove into Shandong to avoid the recurrence of the war.

Song Meiling accompanied more than 100 representatives from all walks of life at home and abroad and members of the Red Character Society to Yichang, and began to inspect the large-scale disaster relief and resettlement of the central government, and to express condolences to the victims.

An Yi, who had been in charge of the relief affairs from Xiangfan, heard the news of Changyang when he returned to Yichang, and immediately quietly led the civil and military officials of the Disaster Relief and Resettlement Committee, Yin Jinan, commander of the 16th Division, Ding Zhicheng, deputy division commander, and Major General Li Fuqiang, deputy commander of the garrison command, who was stunned to be promoted, to greet the delegation. He accompanied them to visit five large resettlement sites in and out of the city, and told them that 150,000 victims had been resettled in western Hubei and Xiangxi so far.

In particular, in the past half month, the Central Party Department has been constantly publicizing An Yi's great achievements in raising more than 30 million yuan for disaster relief funds with the central government and all walks of life, and while strongly criticizing the warlords in the northwest for their perverse actions and causing disasters to the country and the people, they have also encouraged and praised the great achievements of the central government, including An Yi, who have made him a figure of national and even world attention, and has virtually accumulated rich political capital and connections.

During the three-day inspection, the Chinese and foreign delegations from all walks of life went to all the important areas where the victims gathered, and An Yi did not hide the slightest thing, nor did he do anything superficial, some complained bitterly, some were difficult to say, and won the deep sympathy of our representatives, and many groups immediately said that they would mobilize medicines to raise funds to participate in the relief of China's increasingly serious famine. Especially after visiting the three refugee resettlement villages around Changde on the third day, everyone sincerely admired An Yi's great dedication and achievements, and Song Meiling admired An Yi even more, and kept calling An Yi to his side to inspect around, and sighed frequently in front of thousands of grateful victims, and shed tears from time to time.

On the fourth day, Song Meiling and her entourage ended their inspection and condolences for disaster relief and resettlement in western Hubei Province, and almost all the delegates were satisfied but heavy. The prestige of the central government was unprecedentedly enhanced, and Chiang Kai-shek, Hu Hanmin, Chen Guofu and others who were dealing with military forces in various places won huge political capital and valuable time. On the pretext of continuing to test the appetite of Fu'an, he quietly came to Qiancheng, the garrison of the 44th Army, with his guards, and began a military revenge against the so-called "Western Hubei Divine Soldiers" in the mountains of Changling in western Hubei Province.

In the headquarters of the 44th Army under Beacon Hill. An Yi and more than a dozen generals such as army commander Zhang Hongyi, deputy army commander Na Bin, and chief of staff Zhang Cunzhuang gathered together to quietly listen to the report of Liu Qingrong, chief of the 44th Army's Confidential Division. Deeply loved by Zhang Hongza, Zhang Hongza married his niece to Liu Qingrong, and regarded her as a confidant, Liu Qingrong did not live up to Zhang Hongza's expectations, and kept the entire military intelligence system in good order and with high efficiency, and finally dispelled the doubts of many veteran generals and colonels in the army, and won the general recognition and respect of the whole army.

After Liu Qingrong introduced the station, number, weaponry, and combat methods of the "Changfeng Divine Soldiers", he put down his baton and said quite cautiously:

"According to the secret report of two merchants who have maintained business contacts with us for a long time in Duzhenwan, Yi Nianguan, the leader of the divine soldiers entrenched in Langping, has been in contact with the leader Liu Zihe, but the bandit Yi Nianguan does not buy the account of **, nor does he buy the account of the Changyang County Government, Liu Zihe went to the liaison and mobilization secretly three times, all in vain, and the bandits raided the county town and opened a killing ring, to a large extent, because Zhang Ben's bandit suppression troops entered the front line of Xingshan in western Hubei Province.

Yi Nianguan has been martial arts since childhood, and he is slightly familiar with military affairs. However, the temperament is tyrannical and the eyes are above the top, and he robbed the merchants twice to supply me with medicinal materials such as gastrodia and eucommia ulmoides, and was seriously injured by him with three knives and six holes if he complained, and did not have the righteousness and etiquette of other traditional gangs in western Hubei and Xiangxi, so his subordinates suggested that they should be exterminated immediately, and play a role in killing one and doing a hundred. ”

An Yi smiled, did not express any opinions, and listened attentively to the discussions of the generals of the 44th Army. Finally, under Zhang Hongza's inquiry, he said politely:

"Ladies and gentlemen, wouldn't it be better for us to let all the gangs and soldiers think that our action to exterminate the Yi Nianguan bandits was not done by us, but by Zhang Ben's department and Fan Shisheng's department?"

Everyone was quite surprised, pondered for a moment and looked at Zhang Hongza and Deng Bin, Deng Bin smiled and said that he was smart, Zhang Hongza also realized An Yi's deeper intentions, and immediately decided to follow An Yi's opinion, and explained loudly to many unwilling subordinates:

"What? Haven't figured out such a simple thing yet? We are now seeking wealth rather than anger, and many leaders of the gods and soldiers in Xiangxi's "East have some friendship with us, and their business in medicinal materials, guns and ammunition has also become bigger and bigger in the past few months. Why did you hurt the harmony with heroes from all walks of life for the sake of a rabble of only six or seven hundred?

What's more, the place where Yi Dongguan attacked was western Hubei, and it was not in our jurisdiction at all, and the reason why we would take action to clean them up was completely because the bandits did not expect us to be quietly difficult from behind, and to serve the purpose of helping Ji Nanxian's nephew and training the team. ”

The matter was decided, and An Yi no longer stayed. He also discussed the current situation with Zhang Hongji and Deng Bin again, and supported the upcoming military operations of the Shizhen Department in northwest Guizhou, and left Qiancheng for Cili accompanied by Zhang Cunzhuang, and rested for the night to return to Yichang via Yidu.

That night, 300 brothers of the Special Brigade of the 44th Army led by Liu Qingrong quietly went out at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and marched to Changheyu at noon the next day, all of them took off their camouflage uniforms and changed into the honest gray military uniforms of the officers and men of the Fourth Division, stayed until nightfall, and set off again, arrived at Langping at 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, and went up the river along the Langshui River until the bandit cave, and in only one and a half hours, they completely annihilated more than 400 enemies in the bandit cave, cut off the head of the bandit Yi Nianguan, and set fire to all the wooden buildings and materials in the cave.

More than 100 bandits scattered in the nearby villages heard the gunshots and the dense explosions, and were so frightened that most of them scattered and fled cleanly, and the two more courageous bandits hid in the grass in the middle of the mountain, and watched hundreds of men wearing revolutionary army uniforms walk towards Changyang County with wooden sticks against Yi Nianguan's head, and then fled in a panic to the west to report to his colleagues.

Than: Distracted from the preparation of Shi Zhen's department under An Yi! This chapter is a little less word-counting, please forgive me! Later, the public version will update a chapter on the establishment of the Qianxi Shizhen Institute, and the department will eventually be merged into An Yi's military-level units!
