Zhen Yi glanced at Yuanzhe's eager face full of anticipation, and continued! "It is reported that I got together with a few veteran brothers and chatted, talked for a while, and got a little understanding of everyone's situation. www.biquge.info I heard an old brother call himself the rice bucket of the miscellaneous army, everyone should not laugh first, he was not wrong, at least the vast majority of people are like him, as long as there is a bowl of rice to eat and not die of hunger, he lives in such a mess one day a day. ”

There was no more laughter in the audience, everyone suddenly realized that they were living like this, no different from a rice bucket, uncle didn't love grandma, couldn't even eat, and had no dignity at all.

An Yi's loud voice sounded again: "I don't know why you are fighting, and I don't want to ask why you are soldiers, because you are already soldiers and have fought with guns, otherwise you would not be standing here today." But, I don't know if you've thought about it? Why did I, An Yi, fight? Why are tens of thousands of brothers under my command fighting? Who of you knows, no? Okay, I'll tell you today, don't talk about what is far away, just talk about what is in front of you. Why are we fighting this battle? Because. In the whole of Henan, the whole of Shaanxi, and the entire northwestern provinces, every day our parents and villagers are starving to death, and every minute, countless children and mothers are starving to death! As we speak, we wonder how many helpless and uprooted fathers and villagers have fallen to the side of the road, and how many women and children have been cut up and sold."

There was a dead silence in the audience. An Yi struggled to suppress his excitement and continued: "Since last year, I, An Yi and tens of thousands of my brothers, have begun to exchange the money and wealth I have accumulated through years of hard work into food, mobilized all newspapers to implore the central government for support and speak out, and raised donations to batches of donations, clothing and food from all over the country, and tried every means to transport them to the disaster area. However, the warlords did not care whether the people lived or died, they blew up the railways, blocked the waterways, and even the central government's disaster relief food was snatched up, and we could not transport it, so we had no choice but to let the victims escape by themselves, no matter how many people could be saved, one more person could be saved, and this was the wave of refugees from western Hubei from the second half of last year to the present.

However, we can't even do this minimum of humanity, because the warlords have blocked all the roads, and since March, they will no longer allow a catty, and the victims will go south to western Hubei, and they would rather watch tens of millions of fathers and villagers, brothers and sisters die in the northwest and in their hometowns, rather than let them flee from the famine, and our food and medicine cannot be sent over, so I have only one thought. That's hit! Do your best to make a passage as soon as possible and make a way to live. So that the continuous supply of disaster relief food and first-aid medicines to western Hubei can be delivered to the disaster area, and those warlords who careless about people's lives and do not care about the lives of the people will pay the price, so I want to fight! In my eyes, the lives of any of my brothers under An Yi's command, and the lives of generations of hard-working and kind-hearted people in the disaster areas are a hundred times more valuable than those warlords who have lost their conscience and are inhumane! ”

An Yi took a deep breath: "Brothers. I don't want to talk about the big truth, you look around you, look at my An Yi's soldiers, my An Yi's brothers, they are also soldiers, which of you compare to them? Keep your eyes open and take a good look, which of my An Yi's brothers has a curved backbone? Which one has the slightest panic in his eyes, isn't it? Why? Do you know why? Because they know why they are alive and who they are fighting for! Because they are my soldiers. It is my brother who is a brother and sister, a real revolutionary soldier, and a man who dares to love and hate! For the sake of their own troubled motherland, for their fathers, elders, fellow villagers and sisters, they can proudly sacrifice their lives!

Here, I would like to ask you, are you willing to be a real soldier who stands up for your backbone? Are you willing to be like them and become my brother from now on? Are you willing to "willing" Commander An, accept us"

The audience ***, the shouts were deafening, many people stumbled and knelt down, tears flowed, and the brothers on guard around saw such a touching scene, their noses were sour, and they let more than 8,000 suffering brothers wail and cry loudly, pointing to heaven.

The generals on the stage were full of emotion, and saw An Yi respectfully salute thousands of prisoners in the audience. After hesitating for a moment, they all walked behind An Yi, raised their hands in unison, and saluted the prisoners who were very excited and deeply moved in the audience, and the thousands of officers and soldiers around them all put their guns on their backs and stood majestically to salute the prisoners in front of them, moving the prisoners one by one to tears, and many emotionally rich prisoners and soldiers couldn't help but cry.

In the middle of the night, the torches of the East Camp are blazing, as bright as day. More than 8,000 prisoners have been organized into two catties, and the six regiments of the brigade are all selected by the former officers and the soldiers of various departments, except for the commander-in-chief above the regiment commander who is sent by the general headquarters of the regiment.

In front of the six large square formations, there was a long and wide table, on which were neatly stacked brand-new camouflage military uniforms, grass-green crewneck underwear and underwear, brand-new thick-soled high-top new rubber-soled combat shoes, and the officers who were temporarily transferred from the garrison unit and the guard regiment put out a complete set of uniforms for each of the officers and men who surrendered to Chengcheng, and finally ordered all the officers and men to take off their old gray clothes and change into new military uniforms, and all of them drove to the camp north of the city to receive weapons.

To the surprise and pride of all the officers and men, An Yi, the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, personally served as his division commander, and this new unit, which joined an engineer company and a guard battalion, also had its own new name, the New 14th Division of the National Revolutionary Army!

The next afternoon, Nianzhou City.

An Yi and a group of generals of the New 14th Division strolled on the city wall and walked to the hexagonal pavilion in the northwest corner, An Yi stopped and walked to the opening of the women's wall. Looking at the vanishing convoy at the distant mountain pass, the generals around him walked to the wall one after another, stared to the northwest, and talked in a low voice.

Zhao Dongquan, the new colonel of the 1st Brigade of the New 14th Division, stood alone about three meters behind An Yi, his burly body swayed slightly, his purple face looked complicated, and his eyes under his thick eyebrows were full of emotion, he thought about it again and again, slowly stepped forward, stood behind An Yi's side and asked in a low voice: "Commander, if you can, please ask the commander to make it clear, why would you appoint your subordinates as brigade commanders out of the ordinary?" What are the Commander's considerations? ”

"Because you have this ability, An Yi didn't look back.

"Commander, overnight, you gave the first brigade 180 light machine guns, 350 new machine guns, and a large number of ammunition, grenades, and precious medicines worth tens of thousands of yuan, aren't you afraid that I will suddenly rebel and bring all the brothers under my command to Feng Dashuai to ask for merit?" Zhao Dongquan asked again.

An Yi turned around and quietly stared into Zhao Dongquan's eyes, Zhao Dongquan was not afraid of-for-tat. An Yi thought about it, took out a telegram from the pocket of his right jacket and handed it to him: "Take a look for yourself." I'll talk about it after reading it. ”

Zhao Dongquan hesitated, stretched out his hand to take the message, opened it and saw that his thick eyebrows were flying obliquely, and his eyes were blazing: "Xiao Wu is a junior brother and commander, how can Xiao Wu know the commander?" ”

"Xiao Wu is now the commander of the cavalry regiment of the Independent Division, and he joined my command as early as the Second Northern Expedition. I have read your resume, and I called Xiao Wu the day before yesterday to ask you about the specific situation of Zhao Dongquan. He was very happy to get the news of you, and in the last telegram he told me that you are his most respected brother, and the person he admires the most of the more than 100 brothers in the Eighth Cavalry Division of Baoding, let me treat you well, and if I don't want to use you, I will send you to General Zhang Chengzhu's First Cavalry Division to serve. An hour later, he sent another telegram, this one in your hand. Let me pass it on to you, I guess he knows that I won't let you go, so he called you again.

。 An Yi said with a smile.

"Keling,"

Zhao Dongquan's throat squirmed up and down, and he couldn't speak for a while.

An Yi nodded: "Stay, I know that you have an upright personality and often fight for the interests of the officers and soldiers of your department, which angered your brigade commander Pei Jingwen, who has not been reused for several years, and you are the kind of persistent man who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens." I believe that one day I will get the opportunity to display my talents. But have you thought about it? Although there are many generals in the Baoding family in the Northwest Army, few people are willing to carry the backwards, Feng Yuxiang is good at everything, but he looks down on the middle and low-level generals who are not trained by him, and Pei Jingwen is not a descendant of the Northwest Army, if there is no encounter with us, how long will you wait?

Take a step back, even if you get reused. Can today's Northwest Army become the unit you are fighting for? Your hometown is in Luonan Nie Tomb Village, Henan Province, which is close to the place where you served, you still can't save the lives of your parents, wives and daughters, and you only got bad news after your relatives starved to death. If you don't lead your troops to rebel, you can already be regarded as worthy of the Northwest Army. I'm worthy of Pei Jingwen

Zhao Dongquan turned around with a sour nose, turned around again after a while, and saw An Yi holding the battlements and staring at the northwest again, stepped forward and whispered, "Commander, thank you."

"What do you want to thank me?" An Yi still didn't look back.

Zhao Dong sighed for a long time: "Give the state to your subordinates, the city is here, and the city is lost!" ”

An Yi turned around abruptly and looked at Zhao Dongquan happily: "It's really amazing, I have already guessed my arrangement, haha!" It's gratifying! I'm here too. Defend the city with you, if Cao Haosen is really desperate to lead a large army to attack the city, I will live and die with you and our 9,500 brothers in the new 14th Division, as long as we can withstand it for 48 hours, it is not yet known who will die in the end!

After this battle, if we don't die. The new 14th Division will be reborn from then on. Become a strong force in my Anjia army, and I, An Yi, will completely hand over the new 14th Division to you, and I, the lieutenant general commander, can't always be the commander of this division, right? ”

"Relingable".

Zhao Dongquan took half a step forward, raised his hand and saluted solemnly. I didn't put it down for a long time.
