Zhenjiang City has no city walls, most of the city walls have become roads, city bricks have been used in residential buildings or temples and gardens inside and outside the city to build, only in the south of the city near the railway station, west of the Ximen Bridge and north of the river section to see the remnants of several sections of the city wall, only the east of the city is relatively well preserved.

An Yi's regimental headquarters camp is located in the wide military camp between Mengxi Garden and East Street in Dongmen Square, close to the thick and tall city wall in the east, and it has been the main garrison place in Zhenjiang since the Ming and Qing dynasties, commonly known as the East Camp or the Middle Camp. The big camp is facing north, there is a Ming and Qing Dynasty style double-eaves type two-storey main building in the camp, there are rows of neat bungalow-style barracks built around the school field before and after the big camp, there are simple and elegant extremely practical wells distributed between the barracks, enough to accommodate more than 3,000 soldiers.

There is a delicate garden surrounded by green trees behind the main building in the center of the barracks, and there are three conjoined two-story barracks built on the east, west, and south sides of the garden, which together constitute a closed camp in the camp with the magnificent main building, and there are 16 large rooms on the upper and lower floors of the barracks with the steeple eaves and gray tiles and white walls, and the wide rooms are fully equipped and reasonably arranged, and each room is enough to accommodate 50 officers and soldiers to move in easily. In addition to the artillery battalion, more than 3,000 officers and men of various units directly under the Reading Regiment and the model battalion were all stationed in this large battalion with perfect facilities and superior conditions.

In the evening, the commanders of all departments of the Reading Force Regiment gathered in the main building of the regimental headquarters in the camp, and the generals sat solemnly under the bright incandescent lamp, meticulously, and listened carefully to An Yi's opinions on the adjustment of the stationing locations of the various departments.

An Yi stood up and walked to the huge map three meters square behind him, lifted the more than one-meter-long baton leaning on the mahogany shelf and began to explain:

"This map was carefully drawn by Chief Gu and the Third Senior Brother for half a month, according to our field survey in the afternoon, the accuracy of the map is very high, the only thing missing is that the contour level of each highland is not marked, but it is enough. Xia Jian's first battalion is currently stationed in the woodworking workshop of Ximen Bridge, the barracks are very narrow, and almost all of them are simple shacks with bamboo and wood structures, and the rows of thatched roofs have already been riddled with holes. This was originally the residence of the engineer battalion of the Third Division, and the engineer battalion of the Third Division only had more than 400 officers and men. Therefore, I decided that the first battalion will all move to the temple annex next to the Guanyin Pavilion in the north of Jinshan tomorrow morning, this annex covering an area of nearly 50 acres is connected to its own system, with yellow tiles and red walls carved beams and painted buildings, and there are many wings that can accommodate more than 1,000 people. ”

The brothers were quite surprised by An Yi's decision, but Xia Jian, who killed people without blinking, was a believer in Buddhism, and hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, is this appropriate?" ”

An Yi sank his face and said, "What's inappropriate?" Not only to requisition his other courtyard, but also to requisition the Lenga Temple in the north and the highest peak, Liuyun Pavilion! Lao Ding—"

"Here!"

Ding Zhicheng stood up.

An Yi motioned for him to sit down, and pointed directly at the Liuyun Pavilion on the map: "Your observation post is located here, which can overlook the east and west and the range of ten kilometers due north, if the intelligence of the Operations Section of the Third Division is accurate, the new second brigade of Sun Chuanfang's army on the other side is within your naked eye observation, and your barracks are located in the Lenga Temple under the peak."

You don't have to worry, tomorrow morning I will personally go to negotiate with the abbot of Jinshan Temple, he will definitely agree to us stationed in these two remote places that are not usually open to the public, if he does not agree, I will ask for the surname to move the regiment headquarters to his Daxiong Treasure Palace, at this critical juncture, countless toiling people for the unification of the country and tomorrow's better life to do their best, how can they, the living Bodhisattvas who have influenced the people, transcend the world? ”

"Yes! The subordinates completely agreed, and the brothers had long wanted to put the high-powered telescope on the top of the Liuyun Pavilion, but they were worried that the nuns and masters in the temples around the mountain would have opinions. Ding Zhicheng humorously replied loudly.

The brothers burst into laughter, An Yi grinned and continued to arrange: "The second battalion is stationed in the freight yard west of Hushan in the south of the city is very good, this location holds the throat of the railway from Nanjing to Zhenjiang to Changzhou and the northern line of the road, only need to build a guard post and fortification on the tiger mountain on the edge of the camp, and set up two heavy machine guns to control a large area in the south of the city and east of the city.

Here I would like to tell you a good news, Lao Ye, Yang Fei, and Lao Qu have all successfully passed the general headquarters' qualification selection examination for studying abroad, and will board a ship from Shanghai in early May to Germany for further study. However, as a result, the two commanders of the 2nd Battalion were gone, so I proposed that Yang Bin temporarily take the post of commander of the 2nd Battalion, Captain Zhou Dingcheng, commander of the 2nd Battalion Machine Gun Company, be promoted to the deputy of the battalion, and Lieutenant Huang Hanqian, deputy and instructor of the 3rd Battalion Engineer Company, to be promoted to the deputy and instructor of the 2nd Battalion; Captain Min was promoted to commander of the machine gun company of the second battalion. What do you think? ”

After all, the old foundation of the second battalion was transformed from the Zhejiang army, and it was very suitable for the old commander Yang Bin to temporarily act as the battalion commander, and then the promotion of the deputy battalion commander from among the company-level officers of the second battalion can play a more encouraging role, and the position of the commander of the artillery battalion that Yang Bin originally acted was handed over to the regimental deputy Hu Jialin for the time being, and the artillery directly promoted the chief officer from it after completing the technical assessment of the whole training. Although Huang Hanqian, an instructor who was newly promoted to the Second Battalion, was relatively young, he was down-to-earth in his work and flexible in his methods, and he was very good at political and ideological work.

An Yi looked at Gu Changfeng: "Tiger Head, the Xin Family Ancestral Hall at the southern foot of Beigu Mountain, where you are now camping, is very well chosen, and the observation post set up on the Ganlu Temple Mountain is also very hidden and stable, and it remains unchanged. Today, Chief Gu introduced that it was the place where Liu Bei and Sun Quan tried their swords, and Xin Qiji also made an imposing poem there, I don't know what the name of the word brand is, and the first two sentences are: 'Where to look at Shenzhou?' Full of scenery Beigulou', it can be seen that the place has a superior view, and it is a good position to observe and guard. But you must guard the area from the left front of the artillery battalion stationed in the Zhuyuan position to the river bank, and you must be careful not to be shelled by the enemy. ”

"Yes!"

Gu Changfeng replied loudly.

"The three battalions of Zhibiao don't need to move, the Runzhou Daying where you are stationed controls the railway in the south, guards the canal in the west, and connects with the second battalion in the east and the first battalion in the north. There is another thing that you need to be responsible for, the school yard where you are stationed is large enough, and there is a more complicated curvy dirt road at the bottom of Happy Horse Mountain, and I plan to set up a car driving training class for you. An Yi is very relieved of the mature and experienced Chen Zhibiao.

"Yes!"

Chen Zhibiao replied proudly.

"Report!"

Wu Xianwei, the commander of the third company of the star officer on duty, stood at the door of the conference room sweatingly, looking very excited.

An Yi nodded: "Xian Wei come in and talk about it." ”

"Yes!"

Twenty-two-year-old Wu Xianwei stepped into the threshold and reported loudly: "About 650 students gathered at the gate of the camp and asked for an audience with the head of the regiment and the instructors. ”

An Yi and the brothers looked at each other in great surprise. Yin Jinan hurriedly stood up and whispered to An Yi: "You continue to preside over the meeting, I will deal with it, how do you have to let them stay and have a full meal first, otherwise we will not be happy." ”

"Okay, you go deal with it, and we'll go over and have a look after the meeting."

An Yi sighed and motioned for the brothers to be quiet: "Continue the meeting...... Zheng Ming, from now on, you will also serve as an instructor of the teaching team, and the four companies of the teaching team will take turns to patrol and manage the public order in Zhenjiang City, and your political work unit will be stationed in the Zhenjiang County Political Axe Yamen from tomorrow to exercise its functions and powers in the management of civil affairs and military discipline. ”

Li Zhengming nodded solemnly: "Yes!" However, I have no experience in counter-intermediary work, can I ask Lao Ding's guard company to send a few people to help? ”

An Yi said with a smile: "Lao Ding, they have a tight task, and they are about to get busy, and they really don't have manpower for you, but how about I draw ten people from my guard for you?" ”

"That's great! Your guards are all masters of martial arts and accurate marksmanship, and with their cooperation, I am completely assured that within half a month, I will be able to find out the annihilators hidden in Zhenjiang City one by one! Li Zhengming said confidently.

An Yi put down the baton and returned to his seat, and asked what difficulties and requirements the battalions and departments had, and after the commanders of each battalion solved the basic garrison area, there were basically no problems, but they kept asking An Yi what combat tasks he had. An Yi is still the same sentence when he was in Kunshan: Strict vigilance and hard training! All battalions and units directly under them are required to submit training reports every day, and the 1st and 4th battalions directly facing Jiangbei are required to submit records of enemy observation every day.

After the discussion of military affairs, An Yi asked everyone not to leave for now, and discussed how to arrange these more than 600 young students who came with an iron heart?

After talking for a long time, they still couldn't agree on it, and the beard finally suggested:

"In this case, why don't you stay first, ask Shangfeng to let them give advice on how to deal with it, if you really can't push it off, start a three-month recruit training according to the training syllabus of the teaching team, and the brothers of the first company of teaching who are about to complete the training will serve as the company platoon commander of the recruit company.

Everyone thought about it and felt that it was right, An Yi had been listening and did not express his opinion, and when he saw that Hu Zi's opinion was approved, he nodded in agreement, and ordered Major Zhan Huanqi, a communications staff officer, to immediately send a telegram to the division headquarters located at the gate of Shanghai, planning to wait for the division headquarters to order it to come down and deal with it, and whether to send it away or take it in at that time, everything was handled according to Shangfeng's opinion.

To the surprise of An Yi and the brothers, before they could walk out of the gate of the regiment headquarters, Zhan Huanqi had already caught up with him and handed over the order directly issued by the Political Department of the Military Department:

It is agreed that your unit can accept progressive youths, and you can set up a separate female soldier company and include it in the regimental training team, hoping to strengthen training and political education, so that it will become the first outstanding female soldier company in our army.

After listening to Zhan Huanqi's report, Hu Zi was a little stunned: "Grandma, do those hanging people in the Political Department really dare to do it?" ”

An Yi said with a smile: "The Huangpu branch in Wuhan has already begun to recruit female students, and our First Army belongs to the directly subordinate troops of the Nanchang headquarters, so naturally we don't want to be left behind by Wuhan to steal the limelight of Mingzhuo's progress, and we also want to win glory for ourselves by establishing the first female soldier company of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but where can they experience the trouble?"

It would be fine to leave ten or eight professionals to enrich the medical team or serve as cultural instructors in the teaching team, but it would be troublesome to leave too many at once, because our current task is very arduous, and we are at the forefront of the entire front, and the observation post of the tiger head is less than two kilometers away from the enemy's forward position, which is dangerous! ”

"I see, it's not necessarily all bad, after these delicate female students enter our reading group, they only need to shout a few words, and thousands of singles are not allowed to fight to protect them?" Yang Bin said happily.

All the brothers couldn't help laughing, and when they saw that the matter had been decided, they no longer talked about it, and they all followed An Yi to meet the students and see the beauties with great interest.
