Chapter 871: If You Dare to Set Fire, I'll Light the Lamp (4)

At 10 o'clock in the morning, a large transport plane from Nanchang landed steadily at Baoding Qingyuan Airport, and the officers and men of the 12th Air Brigade, still stationed at the airport, had already lined up to greet them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lao Shoudao, who was wearing a moon-white robe, was the first to step off the plane, An Yi and Shen Fengdao, Lin Yaodong, Zhang Yang and others looked at each other and smiled, and walked quickly to greet them.

After meeting each other, they walked to the convoy parked not far away, Lao Shoudao and others saw more than 100 soldiers lined up next to the convoy to greet them, and walked to the soldiers very politely, waving, everyone knows that the war on the front line is tense now, Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng, Xia Jian, Xie Chi and other generals are all leading troops in front, An Yi himself does not want to engage in any bells and whistles grand welcome ceremony, the reason why the brothers of the aviation team will be lined up, the biggest reason is estimated to be to let Yang Bin and the brothers meet- Most of the officers and men in this batch of air forces are instructors and students of the Syrian Aviation School where Yang Bin is acting chief of education.

Lao Dao was not familiar with foreign instructors such as Owen, Stevens, and Martin, and An Yi led him and Zhou Chong'an to meet these foreign heroes who had made great achievements in the air battle in North China.

After Yang Bin finished meeting with the officers and soldiers who were familiar with him and respected him very much, he walked to An Yi's side with gratitude and thanked him, but An Yi said with a straight face: The An family army in the entire North China battlefield is also your subordinates, do you want to leave us like this?

One sentence made Yang Bin laugh, and Lao Shoudao and Zhou Chongan were also very happy.

The mighty convoy stopped in front of the spacious regimental headquarters office of the large battalion garrison regiment of the Baoding military station, An Yi and others entered the room in the salute of the officers and soldiers, and the head of the guard, Lin Yaodong, immediately set up a strict guard post with the commander of the garrison regiment loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the regiment commander and regimental deputy personally stood guard for several bosses who held secret meetings, and this station stood until one o'clock at noon.

During this period, the regiment commander asked Lin Yaodong why he didn't see Commander Yin and Chief of Staff Zhao and others? Lin Yaodong replied that they were all preparing for war on the front line, and Chief of Staff Zhao and Zhan Zhi, director of the *** department, and others probably didn't have a chance to squint for a while from ten o'clock last night to now, not only urgently convened a meeting of all reporters in the Pingjin area, but also held a press conference at the Tangshan Headquarters early this morning with General Huang Jikuan, head of the Central Staff Regiment, General Yang Gengguang, commander of the corps, and Deputy Commander Xu Tingyao, who rushed back from the Gubeikou front, to introduce and disclose every battle that has happened recently to reporters The ugly face of the thief shouting to catch the thief....... there are too many things to do.

The efficiency of several core figures of the Anyi Group is amazing, and in more than two hours, they have a heated discussion on the affairs of the entire group, reach a unified opinion, and formulate a series of countermeasures. These include making every effort to develop the industrial and commercial zones of Nanchang, southern Sichuan, and Xiangxi, intensifying efforts to raise donations for the anti-Japanese war in Jiangnan and southwest, increasing import and export trade and technical cooperation with Germany, which has paid more and more attention to Sino-German economic and trade relations since Xiaozi came to power, and strengthening industrial and commercial cooperation with various domestic consortia.

As soon as the meeting came to an end, the hungry people did not pay attention to it, and went directly to the large canteen shared by the officers and men of the military station and the medical staff of the field hospital to eat.

The large canteen is located between the field hospital and the group of warehouses, you need to walk into the canteen gate through the flat open space north of the field hospital, after lunch, the wounded soldiers who gathered together to bask in the sun saw An Yi and Yang Bin were surprised, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, and sat on the stone slab with their legs and feet straightened, and stood straight with their arms wrapped around their heads, meticulous, and the military police on patrol were even more amazing, all of them were heroic and sassy, standing upright like javelins.

An Yi and Yang Bin and others came all the way, and they needed to stop from time to time to return the salute, Lao Shoudao and Zhou Chongan and others in civilian clothes watched happily in the back, An Yi and Yang Bin had no choice but to discuss slightly, and An Yi shouted to the officers and soldiers on the wide field:

"The brothers have worked hard, we are here to eat, we don't want to disturb the brothers' recuperation, brothers are free...... How? Don't move, that's good...... Except for all those who hold crutches, they are disbanded. ”

The audience burst into laughter, and more than a dozen female doctors and nurses who supported the wounded officers and soldiers also covered their mouths, and they were so happy that they couldn't stop laughing.

An Yi and the others soon entered the cafeteria, and the guards had already put two tables of simple but very nutritious meals on the table, and everyone sat down separately, eating while continuing to discuss.

Lao Dao is addicted to alcohol, and he has to drink a glass of lunch and dinner every day, so An Yi habitually pours wine for Lao Dao, and he and Yang Bin also accompany him.

After eating a little food, An Yi stopped his chopsticks: "Uncle, I remember you just now that the Red Army in Jiangxi is likely to be unable to withstand it for a long time, although this statement is the first time I have heard it, I think it makes a lot of sense." Last month, because Luo Ming, the deputy of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, had taken the initiative to abandon western Fujian and retreated to the Hangyongding Soviet District, the Central Committee of the Soviet District was dismissed from his post and investigated and prosecuted, and quickly adopted a resolution to oppose the Luo Ming line, supporting the offensive line and completely negating the guerrilla line formulated by the founders of the Red Army to avoid the real and attack the false.

"On February 12, several Red Army stormed Nanfeng, Jiangxi, and after a long period of failure, they attacked Nancheng Nangu, suffered a heavy defeat, and retreated to Lichuan. On the 27th, the Jiangxi Red Army attacked Xinyu Nanxiang and failed again...... It can be said that the Red Army made a major mistake in its line, abandoning the guerrilla warfare in which it was good and taking the initiative to attack the large cities garrisoned by superior forces, resulting in a needless attrition of troops. Although on 27 February, the main force of the Red Army annihilated Luo Zhuoying's first column of the anti-bandit army at Jiaohu in the northeast of Le'an, resulting in the death of Li Ming, commander of the 52nd Division, and more than 6,000 officers and men, and the next day, the first column of the anti-bandit army, Yu Le'an Huoyuan, the commander of the 59th Division, Yang Deliang and Fang Jing, were killed, and the commander of the division Chen Shiji was captured on 1 March.

"It can be said that the current Red Army is on a dangerous road, and if the guidelines are not changed in time and consumed for a long time, problems will inevitably arise. However, it will take a long time to change from quantitative to qualitative change......"

Lao Shoudao showed a sudden look: "No wonder I think something is wrong, the atmosphere in Nanchang was very tense last month, saying that the Red Army was marching north to attack Nanchang and occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi in one fell swoop." The people of Lao Nanchang were panicked, and many shops and factories were closed, and the situation did not ease until the middle of this month. I always thought it was a lie, but I didn't expect to think about it......"

An Yi shook his head: "This is the terrible impact of the wrong route...... It was precisely because of the Red Army's attack from all sides that Chairman Chiang felt an incomparable headache, so he was so anxious to negotiate with Xiao ***, wanting to concentrate manpower, material and financial resources to destroy the Red Army in one fell swoop, and then deal with the invasion of ***.

"If there is no battle on the front line of the Great Wall, maybe Chairman Chiang will transfer the two divisions of the 24th Army in Jinan to attack. This is also the fundamental reason why I just disagreed with Brother Yang's plan to expand the army in southern Sichuan, and instead suggested quietly sending another infantry division to the five towns in southern Yunnan. As soon as Brother Yang heard this, he immediately understood what I meant, if our own troops were insufficient, and Huang Han was making a lot of trouble in the Sichuan, Hunan, and Guizhou borders, no one would have any reason to transfer the 24th Army to Jiangnan. Besides, even if they negotiate peace with *** people, there will not be too many troops to the south, and they will not be easily mobilized by beards...... To sum up, without more than a year, it is simply impossible to solve the problem of civil war in Jiangxi and other places. ”

Lao Shoudao put down his wine glass and asked in a low voice: "I generally understand what you said, what you said is that there are not many troops that can be transferred to the south to attack after the armistice, what's going on?" ”

An Yi saw that Yang Bin and others also stopped eating with concern, so he told everyone his analysis:

"Everyone knows that the Northeast Army, under the leadership of the young marshal, has always firmly occupied North China, and before this war, the Northeast Army was dominant in Rehe, Chahar, Hebei and Pingjin, and there were more than 200,000 troops pressing the formation, whether it was the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army or the Han Fuqu in Shandong, they did not dare to covet any territory in North China. But now that the Northeast Army has collapsed, and the young marshal has also gone to Europe to temporarily avoid the limelight, the Northeast Army has been torn apart, leaving only more than 80,000 people led by Wan Fulin, He Zhuguo, Wang Yizhe, and Yu Xuezhong are still loyal to the young marshal, and they are trying to hold together in every possible way in an attempt to make a comeback. But in fact, the situation in the whole of North China is not what it used to be, Song Zheyuan has grown rapidly with Xifengkou and other great victories that shook the whole country, and his status has also improved rapidly, Chairman Jiang took the opportunity to push out Song Zheyuan, who had parted ways with Feng Yuxiang, and a while ago he was entrusted with the important task of vice chairman of the Beiping Military Branch and deputy commander-in-chief of the North China Theater, Song Zheyuan seized this opportunity very well, vigorously incorporated the anti-Japanese armed forces in all parts of North China, and quietly included more than 30,000 defeated troops of Tang Yulin and Wang Yizhe into his pocket. I believe that it will not be long before this Song Zheyuan will steadily occupy Pingjin and North China. ”

It was the first time for everyone to hear such a confidential thing, and they were very surprised, and Yang Bin, who was the first to react, nodded frequently: "It seems that it can only be him, the Northeast Army has lost its position, and can only be in a subordinate position, even if the generals of the Northeast Army are not convinced, they must first wash away the infamy." Chairman Jiang's move is indeed clever! But in this way, he is not worried that Song Zheyuan will take this opportunity to slowly grow up? ”

"That's why we can't spare much force to go south to suppress the Red Army." An Yi replied, and continued to analyze: "If the armistice agreement between China and Japan is successfully signed, in order to ensure the direct leadership of the central government over North China and supervise and suppress all kinds of powerful people, the chairman must have his own army to sit in Beijing, Tianjin and North China. Judging from the current situation of the various departments of our Central Army, only the *** division of Hu Zi, the 40 th division of Brother Jiu, and the 17 th division of Senior Brother Lu are mostly northerners, especially the *** division of Hu Zi, and almost half of the officers and men from Hebei are from Hebei. ”

Yang Bin immediately understood, took An Yi's words, and added excitedly: "Let's boldly further infer that with the current status of the bearded deputy commander of the 17th Army, as well as the combat exploits he has made under his command of the subordinate divisions in the North China battlefield, it will be a matter of time before he is helped."

"The last time there was a meeting in Nanjing, a group of generals got together for a drink, and Chief Xu Yuexiang told me that his ideal was to set up as soon as possible the Jiaotong Military Academy, which had taken him several years of painstaking efforts, and to form China's first tank, armored, and mechanized troops.

"Therefore, there should be no problem with the promotion of Hu Zi, not to mention that the *** Division, the Seventeenth Division, and the Forty Division have not belonged to any army so far, and maybe the committee will treat the Seventeenth Army as a permanent number, just like our Twenty-fourth Army and Chen Cheng's Eighteenth Army, the thunder cannot be moved. As a result, the Seventeenth Army has the two main divisions of the three armies and the Central Army, plus the 40th Division of Brother Yang Jiu who is being reorganized, and the third division of Brother Zhang Chengzhu who is changing clothes in Xuzhou. ”

Everyone nodded frequently, and finally understood.

Lao Dao sighed slightly, and asked An Yi in a low voice: "In this way, as long as the armistice agreement is signed and the war is over, not only will you not expand the army, but you will disarm it with great fanfare?" ”

An Yi nodded with a strange expression: "Who said it wasn't?" This is also something that can't be helped, who made me so poor that I couldn't open the pot? During this period of time, I did a lot of things to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to beg grandpa to tell grandma, as long as the war started, the consumption was a bottomless pit, millions and millions were thrown into it, I was distressed! ”

Everyone knew what An Yi meant, and couldn't help laughing, no matter how rich An Jiajun was, it was his own, for all kinds of reaching out and jealousy, the best way to deal with it was to cry poor, and disarmament was the most intuitive performance.

Zhou Chongan smiled and supported An Yi's opinion very much: "I think Xiao Yi's idea is very good, now our An Jiajun includes engineering troops, garrison divisions and various medical auxiliary forces, and there are hundreds of thousands of people inside and out, but it is worth thinking about which troops to reduce and what impact they can have." ”

Everyone frowned suddenly, the palms and backs of their hands were full of meat, whether it was five garrison divisions or 100,000 engineering troops, all of them were siblings. At present, the situation is chaotic, the old nest in southern Sichuan needs to be protected by force, and the newly opened up southern Yunnan region is still moving people in a steady stream, and now more than 8,000 officers and soldiers and 150,000 disaster victims have passed.

Lao Shoudao weighed for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Boy, now that you have a big family and a big business, and the soldiers are like clouds, don't you shoot your principal and can't sleep?" ”

An Yi sighed helplessly: "Do you think I can sleep peacefully?" The principal is strengthening his armed forces every day, and he does not hesitate to condescend to ask us to borrow money, and he has to desperately develop an army loyal to him, Xu Yuexiang's Jiao Yuan Military Academy is an example, and now the front-line troops can't even supply food and ammunition, and he is still thinking about developing armor, tanks, and mechanized troops. If the Red Army is defeated, the southwest region under our control will become a thorn in his side.

"Therefore, disarmament is necessary, and it must be disarmed in a big way, so that everyone in the world will know that I and my brothers do not want to fight, but only want to get rich. However, recruitment is also a must, in any case, our armed forces must not be less than 200,000, otherwise, in case of a sudden crisis, we will cry without tears...... Therefore, the focus of solving the problem can only be southern Yunnan, which carries our hopes......"

Although An Yi didn't say it thoroughly, everyone knew what he meant, and they all nodded their heads one after another, thinking deeply.

Zhou Chongan saw that An Yi was already confident about dealing with possible crises in the future, and he couldn't help but be determined, then he suddenly remembered the main purpose of this trip, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "You asked us to solve the matter of grain purchase, but you didn't bring it up at the morning meeting, do you also have some plans?" ”

"I don't have any plans now, look at the situation, the peace talks are certain, in the morning you introduced the bad economic situation in the country, as well as the continuous pressure on the European and American countries for their own interests, I estimate that the situation on the side of the Kwantung Army is enough to choke, it seems that they are also unsustainable...... Alas, after seizing a large amount of land north of Chengde and the Great Wall, their goal was basically achieved, otherwise they would not have held secret armistice negotiations in Shanghai, let alone invited officials from embassies and consulates in Beiping to mediate. Since everyone wants to negotiate peace, I have decided not to be the wrongdoer, I have not given money for the 50,000 tons of grain generously sent by General Yan Baichuan, it is estimated that it is enough for 200,000 troops on the front line to survive for a while, and if the time comes, the central government will not solve the problem of food shortage, and I, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in name, will not be responsible, let Chairman Jiang and Chief He Jingzhi have a headache, anyway, our team will not starve. An Yi replied easily.

Everyone smiled, and Zhou Chongan nodded with relief: "That's fine, we have paid too much for this war, if we can stop fighting, there is no need to bear anything." After Uncle Dao and I go back, we will count the anti-Japanese war funds donated by all walks of life in the rear, according to your wishes, not to the central government and *** control, and the anti-Japanese war foundation and charity foundation we set up will come forward to be responsible for appeasing as many disabled soldiers as possible, and it is much better to do something practical than the central government to exploit and squander it layer by layer. ”

An Yi immediately agreed: "Okay! This matter is the sole responsibility of you and Uncle Dao. In addition, some funds were also allocated to the military resettlement factories and resettlement villages built by Brother Yang in the Zhaotong area, so as to ensure that the disabled brothers and their families of various units of our Central Army in this Great Wall War of Resistance have a guarantee for the rest of their lives. As for the pension and disability resettlement of other armies, I want to think of a way when the time comes, or simply let the central government and *** bear it, the disabled soldiers of the other armies are all from the north, and it is estimated that they want money and do not want to go to southern Sichuan, let them go, if they all go, I am afraid that they will not be able to settle after spending thousands of dollars. ”

"What do you have any comments? If it's okay, Chong'an and I just did it. The old man glanced around.

Yang Bin and the others immediately expressed no opinion, and the originally extremely thorny food problem and the difficult problem of pension resettlement were efficiently determined in a few words. Because of this, An Yi also relieved himself of a big worry that was pressing on his heart, and he suddenly felt relaxed for a while, grabbed his chopsticks, and quickly filled his stomach with a big bowl.

Seeing that the problem had basically been solved, and An Yi's eating appearance was so infectious, all the brothers picked up the bowl and ate happily.
