Chapter 176: The Feast

The fluttering snowflakes fell, and the five horses slowly passed through the arched doorway of the south gate of Nanchang City, immediately accelerated slowly, and galloped south after a while.

The five people immediately were An Yi, head of the Reading Force Regiment of the Second Division of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Yin Jinan, instructor and commander of the model battalion, and their entourage.

With the abundant material guarantee, the strong training plan formulated by An Yi and his assistants was successfully implemented, and after five weeks of strong training, the departments of the reading group after the major adjustment were gradually on the right track.

During the intensive training, An Yi and his assistants seriously supervised and guided each other, went deep into each battalion and each company to repeatedly conduct evaluations and analyses, so that the methods, means, intensity, and targets of the various training units became more reasonable, the combat effectiveness of all units under his command was rapidly improved, and gratifying progress was made in both the combat capability of mutual coordination and the military quality of individual soldiers; coupled with the arduous efforts of a group of political instructors who have received professional education and have a strong sense of responsibility, the military quality and political quality of the officers and men have reached a new level.

Two days ago, Liu Zhi, a division commander in the army who is known for his rigorous management of the army and hard training, led the relevant personnel of the division headquarters to the Reading Force Regiment for routine inspection work, and was amazed after seeing the various trainings of the second and third battalions.

Although An Yi and others modestly stressed that this was only an attempt at a new training method and belonged to the experimental stage of surname exploration, Liu Zhi still decided to let the commanders at and above the battalion level of several other regiments come to see what conscientiousness and exemplary battalion spirit were.

An Yi and Yin Jinan returned to the camp, and Gu Changfeng, who was about to lead his guard company and teaching company for the fourth field raid and stealth training, was stopped, and the fast horses of the communication company galloped out of the camp and went in all directions.

An hour later, the commanders of all battalions and companies gathered in the county hall to listen to Yin Jinan convey the orders of the division headquarters and assign various tasks.

The first sentence was to stop training and the whole regiment to rest for half a day to start political study, and the second sentence was that each battalion and each company should add vegetables tonight, and the regiment headquarters would be responsible for the food money.

Gu Changfeng was just about to leave when he was stopped by An Yi: "Tiger head come back, go in and talk with me, and let's give Shen Maniac a wine and candied meal at noon." ”

"This ......"

Gu Lao Er reluctantly followed An Yi to the middle courtyard behind.

An Yi sighed: "Tomorrow, the group of bosses in the division headquarters and the commanders of all regiments and battalions will come, and it is not appropriate to leave Lao Shen behind, not to mention how dare our small temple leave this great god?" ”

Gu Lao Er grabbed An Yi's sleeve: "Boss, are you worried that Lao Shen will cause us trouble?" It's a pity that such a talent gave up like this! ”

"How can I say that to you? Tiger head, Lao Shen does not belong to the army, and we are not the same kind of people, he is unrestrained, the rivers and lakes composed of famous mountains and rivers are the right places for him, you should understand what I mean. ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he smiled helplessly, pulled Gu Lao Er to his room together, took out a small bag that had been prepared and put it in the space under the table of the Eight Immortals in the living room, and ordered the orderly to invite Hu Zi and Yin Jinan, and then give an order in the kitchen.

Half an hour later, Shen Xiangfeng, who was basically recovered, was invited into An Yi's living room by Xiao Langzhong, and immediately understood when he saw the sumptuous dishes and steaming mutton hot pot on the table.

Shen Xiangfeng politely clasped his fists and sat generously in the guest of honor position indicated by An Yi.

"Xiao Langzhong, don't go, you can sit down too, let's have a drink with Brother Shen."

An Yi turned to Shen Xiangfeng kindly, and when Xiaolang Zhongle sat down, he turned to Shen Xiangfeng: "Thank you Brother Shen for your help, if it weren't for Brother Shen's brilliant medical skills, where could those injured brothers in our East Hospital heal so quickly, the brothers who have recovered from their injuries in the past half a month have returned to their respective companies one by one, and the remaining few have also recovered quickly, thank you!" ”

All the brothers echoed in unison and thanked Shen Xiangfeng, who smiled slightly and whispered, "Then, how can you thank you for saving your life?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, An Yi happily grabbed the wine bottle and poured a full glass for Shen Xiangfeng, Xiao Langzhong quickly stood up and grabbed another bottle of wine for Yin Jinan and Hu Zi and others.

Gu Lao Er smiled awkwardly: "Senior Brother Shen, you must not be polite, our boss has such a stinky temper, come!" Warm up with a drink. ”

"Cheers!"

Everyone drank a glass and laughed, and the young orderly immediately stepped forward to pour wine for everyone.

Shen Xiangfeng stood up respectfully, touched a glass with everyone present to express his gratitude, and finally picked up the wine glass that was filled again with both hands, and slowly raised it to An Yi, with a faint smile on his thin and resolute face:

"Commander An, that day when I and a group of death row prisoners were escorted into the small room of the broken temple and were about to be killed, the conversation between the prisoner and another officer who came in a hurry made me listen clearly, until I was dragged into the broken room next to me, and then I was put into a sack and thrown out of the hole in the wall, and then I was carried on horseback by Senior Brother Gu, I knew that I could survive, thank you, brother, I salute you!"

An Yi, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up, politely picked up the wine glass and wanted to say a kind word, Shen Xiangfeng's wine glass had touched the edge of his wine glass, An Yi saw this, so he had to laugh and do it all, Shen Xiangfeng nodded with satisfaction and poured his head down, put down the wine glass and hugged his fist to thank him, smiled heartily under the stunned gaze of all the brothers, and turned to leave.

Gu Lao Er took the small bag handed by An Yi and hurriedly stood up to chase after him, returned in frustration after a few minutes, and after sitting down, he threw aside the small bag containing a hundred oceans and a brand-new barge gun, and poured a glass of wine alone before sighing in frustration:

"Senior Brother Shen's skills are really fucking high, Lao Tzu drove him out, he has already reached the corner of the street dozens of meters away, alas...... Boss, it's a pity that such a talent let go! ”

An Yi didn't feel pity in his heart, but he couldn't leave Shen Xiangfeng as an unruly and maverick master, for Shen Xiangfeng, who was extremely high and mysterious in martial arts, An Yi didn't have the confidence to control it at all, rather than force him to stay by his side and not know when he would cause trouble, it was better to send him out of the house and no longer have anything to do with it.

Hu Zi drank a glass of wine and sighed in a low voice: "Tiger Head, I understand your thoughts, and I am not willing to let Brother Shen leave like this, his martial arts are more than one level higher than mine." In the past month or so, I have been chatting with him almost every day, and even I have benefited a lot, not to mention the dozens of brothers who have been quickly cured under his holy hand, and there are not many such capable people in the world......"

"Big brother, it's surprising that Lao Shen is walking like this, a master is a master, he just walks without showing the mountains and water, there is no embarrassment and twisting, the younger brother has opened his eyes."

Yin Jinan's face also showed reluctance, and there was a slight sadness in his eyes under a pair of single eyelids.

An Yi waved his hand and laughed: "Where can a master in the world be as cheesy as us, right, Tiger Head?" Ha ha! Eat vegetables, drink, don't grieve your stomach, Lao Tzu is really hungry, this snow is really his grandmother's life, I don't feel full no matter how much I eat...... Feed! Tiger Head, you haven't told me how much you made last time. ”

Gu Lao Er picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth leisurely: "Last week, I got seventy 38 short rifles from Li Yannian, the head of the Fifth Regiment, and 340 Hanyang-made rifles from the deputy of Li Xianzhou of the Fourth Regiment, because they are all half-new and old, all of them are counted according to one of the thirty oceans, and we sent them to the shopkeeper of Gao'an Zhao to make a net profit of twenty-five yuan each, plus the one hundred and twenty domestic barge guns that we eliminated ourselves five days ago, a total of 20,000 and 450 oceans were returned, and I handed over 20,000 yuan to Jinan. The remaining 450 yuan will be set aside for the next field training, so as to save the trouble when you get it...... Don't stare, I'm signing. ”

"That's pretty much it, haha! Come, Tiger Head, Lao Tzu toasts you, this business is doing well, going out a few times can not only train soldiers but also make money, killing two birds with one stone! ”

An Yi happily raised his wine glass and touched it with Gu Laoer, and then touched it with Hu Zi and Xiao Langzhong before he finished drinking it in one gulp, put down the empty glass and pinched his fingers to calculate, revealing a smile like a wealth fan.

Yin Jinan put down the bowl and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the old guns that have been eliminated in the hands of the seniors of each regiment have all been purchased by you, right?" Roughly counting more than 2,600 pieces, this is not counting our own elimination part, the three batches that were recovered and resold at a low price from each group have earned more than 90,000 yuan, which is scary in total! We now have 420,000 in our CPF account. ”

Hu Zi asked, "Don't you think Gao'an's grain merchant Zhao is very abnormal?" There are only four or five hundred people in the joint defense and security team under him, why are you buying so many guns and ammunition? ”

"I know some, after this old guy bought our guns, he packed up and sold them to the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, the last time I asked the bodyguard of Zhao's shopkeeper, and the bodyguard quietly told me that most of them were sold to several mines, and a small part was sold to the landlords of various villages and towns to take care of their homes or something.

According to the tone of the shopkeeper Zhao, even if there are 5,000 long and short guns sent to him, he can eat it, and he chases me for a new gun.

I heard that the tungsten mine boss named Xie Shengdong in Ganxi is worth at least five million, all of which are from the fucking mines, so why don't you buy guns to save your life if you have money? If we sell him a machine gun, I guess it will be even more profitable. After Gu Lao Er finished speaking, he poured another glass.

An Yi nodded: "At present, there are eight armies and two reading divisions stationed in various parts of Jiangxi, you guard against each other, I guard against you, no one can get through so many joints to transport guns in, even if tungsten sand is smuggled into Guangdong, you have to pay layer by layer to buy roads, especially the Second Army, which originally set up its base camp in Ji'an, and the strength of a supplementary division has seen every intersection between western and southern Jiangxi to death, and no one can cross the border without paying."

Goods going north from Guangdong must pass through the three counties in northern Guangdong occupied by General Huang Shaohong of the Gui Army, otherwise they will have to pass through the garrison of the newly formed 16th Army of the Dian Army Fan Shisheng with its headquarters in Shaoguan, as well as the garrison of one division and two regiments under the command of Chief Qian Dajun of our army, and the 14th Army of General Lai Shihuang in southern Jiangxi at the junction, so except for the materials from the headquarters of our revolutionary army, no one dares to smuggle arms in at this time, otherwise it will be a big deal if something happens.

As for me, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I can't be in a hurry, anyway, no matter where the Second Army goes, his division will definitely occupy the current position, so as long as the battle into Zhejiang begins this time, the Guangdong-Jiangxi border will be loosened immediately after the transfer of the army, and then let A Biao and General Fan Shisheng cooperate to do a good job in this business.

General Fan Shisheng has been supplying Yunnan Baiyao raw materials to Mr. Ou's pharmaceutical factory, and I have already booked this business with Zhang Xiaocheng, the quartermaster director of the Second Army, and he has been to Guangzhou several times in the past few months, and he has been greeted by A Biao, and the generators he entrusted Mr. Ou to import, and the mechanical processing machines of the Ordnance Institute have arrived, and they have been sent through the transport convoy of the General Headquarters in the past few days, and our imported equipment of more than 100,000 yuan has also arrived. ”

The brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they admired An Yi's way and brain, and they raised their wine glasses and drank wine for a while, gradually throwing aside the reluctance and sadness caused by Shen's departure.
