The Yangzijing Military Station in the south of Shuichuan City is full of people and traffic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 A truckload of weapons and ammunition from Yichang to Jiangjin and then 6 roads was collected by various departments without being put into storage, and 1,000 boxes of grenades and 3 million bullets of various types were divided up by the quartermasters of each division in a blink of an eye, only 300 and a half new and old light and heavy machine guns and 48 Bayi-caliber mortars, no one dared to move, and more than a dozen generals and colonels surrounded this pile of difficult weapons and whispered in front of this pile of difficult weapons, patiently waiting for the commander Liu Xiang to make arrangements.

Liu Xiang, who was tall and wearing an ordinary suede jacket, was even more conspicuous under the embrace of a group of generals, and a group of generals walked around the military station unhurriedly, satisfactorily inspecting the batch of sought-after materials that had been bought from An Yi in only three days.

Liu Xiang came to a stop in front of five fully loaded American-made military trucks, looked at the officers and soldiers who were unloading boxes of mortar shells, and asked Tang Shizun in a low voice:

Zijin (Tang Shizunzi) lived up to expectations on this trip to Yichang. In just three days, more than 1.6 million yuan worth of arms were repurchased, and the clippers of the Yichang garrison were still used. ”

"Fu Gong has won the award, not because his subordinates have any outstanding ability, but because An Wazi is too greedy, this guy looks polite and upright on the surface, but as long as he has money, he dares to do anything.

Fu Gong may not have known that these five American trucks, 120 heavy machine guns, 48 mortars, and 5,000 artillery shells had just been equipped with the 16th Division of the Central Army. All of them were taken from the hands of the officers and soldiers of the 16th Division and the officers and soldiers of the 16th Division and the 16th Division under the death order of An Wazi, and for this reason, Yin Jinan, the commander of the 16th Division, the younger brother of An Wazi, was greatly angered. When loading the ship, he also led the special battalion to take back the munitions, but An Wazi sent an adjutant to reprimand him, and the officers and men of the 16th Division were so angry that they turned around and left. At that time, his subordinates were on the military transport ship, and they saw all this clearly, and finally saw the methods of that An Wazi. ”

Tang Shizun made a detailed report with emotion, which caused a burst of laughter from Liu Xiang and the surrounding generals.

Now the generals in central Sichuan seem to call An Yi An Wazi, as for who first shouted this nickname is no longer available, anyway, now everyone knows who An Wazi is, and everyone likes to call An Yi An Wazi, a slightly derogatory title, and it also alludes to the fact that everyone regards An Yi, who is famous in the world, as their own four "people".

Liu Xiang said with a smile: "Mr. Yunsong is still in Yichang, I really want to know what he thinks of this An Wazi, haha!" ”

Tang Shizun replied: "Three days ago, during the dinner, An Wazi began to pretend to be reserved and refused again and again when he proposed to his subordinates to buy arms, and seemed to be full of righteousness, and he was a standard soldier who was clean and self-conscious, but as soon as Director He Yuanzhang left, this guy began to knock on the side with words, and once again led the topic to the arms business.

An Wazi is very familiar with the prices of various arms transactions at home and abroad, the performance of weapons, such as a number of treasures, I have to admire him in this regard, the bargaining ability is also outstanding, when it comes to the end, we are speechless, Shengsheng raised the price by two percent, he is addicted to selling despite the persuasion of his chief of staff and the director of the political department, the two henchmen, resolutely decided to sell all the weapons in the hands of the two machine gun battalions of the 16th Division to us, his chief of staff asked what to do if he sold the brothers of the 16th Division? An Wazi replied that why don't you stay in the war now? The next step is to make up for it quietly.

In order to collect money, An Wazi violated military discipline so boldly. Let his subordinates and Mr. Yun Song be amazed

At last. He readily agreed to the request of Mr. Yun Song and his subordinates, and used his power to order the Yichang Garrison Command to send us ships to transport the munitions, and he also pretended to be generous and told us that the purchase price of the next batch of munitions could be discounted by half of us.

Mr. Yun Song and his subordinates returned to the office to taste tea, and were quite satisfied with the progress of the swift take, Mr. Yun Song sighed and said: An Wazi does have a talent for business and a general, from the fact that the departments of the Fifth Army have never bullied the people together, it can be seen that An Wazi is strict and effective in governing the army, but An Wazi is too greedy for money, perhaps because of the early years of wandering the world and suffering, so that An Wazi has an almost crazy ** for money. After talking for more than an hour. Mr. Yun Song finally gave An Wazi an eight-word comment: heroes in troubled times, difficult to become a great tool! ”

After listening to the discussions, Liu Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that this An Wazi can not only fight, but also do business, from which it can be inferred that this bold guy will not buy anyone's account except for Commander-in-Chief Jiang, as evidenced by the fact that he has been at odds with He Jingzhi, the number one general under Commander-in-Chief Jiang."

It turned out that this seat was deeply concerned about the Fifth Army's dominance in western Hubei, and everyone also had the worry that Commander-in-Chief Jiang wanted to use An Yi, a "person, to seek the Central Army to enter Sichuan", but judging from the actions of the 44th Army of the Hunan Army and An Yi, there was no clear intention, and they instead regarded collecting wealth as the first priority.

Zhang Hongza was originally a veteran of the Hunan army, and after dominating Xiangxi, he did not have to compete with He Jian for a long time as we predicted, but was obsessed with local government affairs, and set up industry and commerce on a large scale, and gave up the opportunity to replace He Jian several times, and sent tens of thousands of people to spend a year and a half to open up the highway leading to the counties in northern Guizhou and southeastern Sichuan. He didn't look at the strength and weakness of our Sichuan forces, so he dared to sell a large number of weapons and ammunition to Liu Ziqian for a few dollars, which shows that they have no ambitions, and if they have milk in their eyes, they are mothers! As long as we can persuade the central government and Commander-in-Chief Chiang, publicly express our support for our military operations, and make a verbal promise that we will provide military support if needed, we will be able to seize the initiative, deter the Baoding generals who are swaying from side to side, block the bustling Oh Shishan Wish in Sichuan, and win a reasonable and legitimate advantage for the upcoming offensive on all fronts. ”

"Fu Gong Gao Zhi". The generals 6 continued to express their attitudes, and they were convinced.

"Fu Gong. Now that the supply is nearing completion, it's time to fight. Small. Pan Wenhua suggested in a low voice.

Liu Xiang nodded: "It's soon, at least two days, at most five days, Mr. Yunsong will have a letter of approval, you will immediately step up preparations after you go back, this time it will be a full-scale attack, you should work together." Forge ahead bravely, and never give Li Ziqian a little time to breathe

"Yes! Small.

Gunfire continued in all sections of the 300-mile front of the "Erliu War". The sound of artillery was incessant, and the two sides fought over the local area from time to time, and the total number of officers and men on both sides had reached 80,000. With the huge consumption of ammunition and materials on both sides, the intensity of the fighting has been greatly reduced, and both sides have strictly held their positions and recuperated. Nervously carrying out the rapid replenishment of various supplies, almost all the soldiers knew that an even more fierce battle would soon begin.

"Report to the Duke of Fu, Southern Sichuan Secret Telegram: Liu Ziqian once again bought a large number of weapons and ammunition from Xiangxi, including 35 75 artillery pieces, and three of them have been delivered. After Liu Ziqian learned that our army had received a large amount of weapons and ammunition to replenish the army, he immediately dispatched his brother Liu Wencai to Qiancheng. At the cost of ceding the two counties of Baiyang and Xiushan in the southeast. In exchange for Zhang Hongcai's troops to help, after being politely rejected by Zhang Hongza, he again asked Zhang Hongza to send a division to help the war with a huge amount of 50,000 gold and 2,000 loads of tobacco

The confidential adjutant seemed quite anxious, seeing that the time for the attack on the whole front was less than 30 hours away, and the central government and Commander-in-Chief Chiang also expressed their support for Liu Xiang to quell the rebellion and take charge of Sichuan.

"What? How could such a thing happen? ”

Liu Xiang stood up in shock, put down the brush in his hand, and looked nervously into the adjutant's eyes.

"You immediately telegraph this situation to Commander-in-Chief Chiang in the name of this seat. The 44th Army in Xiangxi must be strictly restrained. Punish vigorously, otherwise, once the 44th Army is involved in it for the sake of interests, this big war will evolve into a protracted southwest war!

Presently. Yunnan's Long Yun and Hu Ruoyu and other troops were still in fierce battles, although Mao Guangxiang and Wang Jialie in Guizhou had ceased fighting. However, there are conflicts between each other, and the Shizhen Department of Qianxi is eyeing Qujing County, in case the Hongza Army joins in again, the consensus that has just been reached with us will inevitably be shaken again, if Liu Wenhui in order to keep his own territory, he will not do two things and endure the pain of ceding several counties around Chengdu, in exchange for Na Xihou and other troops to attack our army from west to east, we will fall into a bitter battle to meet the enemy from many sides, it is likely that not only will we fail to achieve the goal, but will let Liu Ziqian, who has obtained reinforcements, take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and recover Ziliujing, Longchang and even Neijiang! ”

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, and then suggested: "Fu Gong, do you want to invite a few military advisors and Pan, Xi and others to come and discuss first?" It's never too late to come to an agreement! ”

"Good! The beggar called them, 100,000 urgent! Liu Xiang's big hand fell and ordered in a deep voice.

Yichang Yiling Battalion, the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps.

Zhao Rui handed the telegram to An Yi: "Uncle Za urgently telegraphed, General Gu Changfeng's 44th Division, under the guidance of a regiment of Hunan officers and soldiers, successfully entered the Wulong area in southeast Sichuan, and General Zhu Shigui's 17th Division will arrive at Chishui, where General Shi Zhen's 3rd Division is located, within seven hours. The Third Division of our 24th Army also drove to Xishui to rest and recuperate. All the above divisions have changed into blue-gray military uniforms of the Hunan Army Garrison, and they only need to give an order. to enter the battlefield. small

"Degree is ok

After reading the message, An Yi turned to the depressed deputy army commander Yin Jinan: "Jinan, there is still one." What does the face do? Didn't you give you all the new equipment of the two battalions of the sixteenth and the lowliest? The old does not go, and the new does not come. It's just to confuse Tang Shizun that he didn't dare to inform you in advance, otherwise, with your real character, you won't be able to hide it from other people's eyes at all, and you don't mean to make you ugly, understand, where is General Shangguan Yunxiang's 47th Division? .

Yin Jinan shook his head helplessly: "The forty-seventh division has arrived in Zhijiang."

"Good. Tell them to stop moving forward and rest for a day or two. When the battle is over, let the fleet of the garrison command send them to Padang quickly. Didn't Liu Xiang ask the commander-in-chief for military assistance? Let the 47th Division go to Padang and let him transfer the one brigade stationed in Padang to the battlefield in central Sichuan, and as for whether or not to return the defense of Padang to him after the battle, it is not something we can manage. ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head, picked up the pen and quickly drafted the message.

Five minutes later, An Yi called Liu Qing: "Give this telegram to Zhang Hongqin and Na Bin, the two generals, respectively."

"Yes" Commander, did you really sell Liu Wenhui eighty old cannons? Liu Qing asked in surprise with wide eyes.

An Yi stood up and stretched his upper limbs: "Sell!" Why not sell? Each cannon is equipped with 100 shells, allowing Liu Wenhui to beat the cunning Liu Xiang fiercely. If Liu Xiang is not beaten down, he will not ask us to send troops to help, besides, we will no longer provide shells after firing, and these cannons will not become scrap metal? When the time comes, it only takes one charge to take back these cannons, and this business is worth it, what are you still doing in a daze? Go quickly."

"Yes!"

Liu Qing turned around and left, muttering with emotion as he walked: "***." The boss takes all friends and foes, and is ruthless enough
