Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (45)

Full of wine and food, the five of them left Tan Heyi's house, Qin Jishi also rented a house in the family area, not only a wife, but also two young sons, he said goodbye to Mo Di and returned to his home. Li Xuan and Jiang Chunyang walked in front, Tan Heyi pulled Mo Enemy, deliberately stayed behind, walked slower and slower, and gradually distanced himself from the two in front. Mo Di knew that Tan Heyi had something to say to himself, and consciously cooperated with Tan Heyi's rhythm. Today's March 16, the 19th day of the second lunar month, is close to the end of the month, the moon comes out late, and the moonlight from the edge of the east mountain reflects the distant mountains and trees in the shadows, and you can see the road under your feet without a horse lantern.

Tan Heyi said: "Tianzhong, you may not know that in October of the previous year, Liao Yangong passed away, and Chief Li Pinxian took charge of Anhui and the 21st Group Army, and put forward a slogan: based on Anhui, rooted in Anhui, defending Anhui, and building Anhui. Through the interpretation of the slogan, there is an unwritten rule, the so-called rooted in Anhui is to settle down here, settle down in order to be happy. Shangfeng also knew that it was unrealistic for all people to marry wives in Anhui, but senior military officers must take responsibility for themselves, or bring their wives to the family, or marry new wives in Anhui. ”

It was the first time Mo Di had heard of this, and looked at Tan Heyi with interest, in the past, he had only heard that the remote Great Wall soldiers would go with his wife, but he had never heard that he came to Anhui from remote Guangxi, and he would also follow the example of the Great Wall soldiers. As the colonel's regimental commander, Mo Wei knew about Guangxi's Li Baihuang's Anhui strategy, Guangxi is located in a remote area, with many mountains and few fields, and barren products, relatively speaking, Anhui is much richer, even in the Dabie Mountains, it is much stronger than Guangxi's Dashishan Mountain. Therefore, occupying Anhui and turning Anhui into a second Guangxi is the basic task. The previous General Liao Lei was a faithful executor of this policy, and he did his best for it, and then died. Later, Li Pinxian Xiao Gui Cao Sui carried out some strengthening on the basis of General Liao Lei, such as expelling the armed forces of different parties, eliminating the remnants of bandits, resisting foreign invasion, and expanding the management of the jurisdiction. As for marrying a wife and having children locally, it seems a bit overkill that Mo Di knows it.

"At first, I thought it was enough to settle down here, because I had already taken over Luoche from Liuzhou. Tianzhong, you should still remember that when our 526 Brigade was fighting on the southern front of Jinpu Road, I was seriously injured and couldn't take care of myself for a long time. Tan Heyi said: "The slogan of taking root in Anhui came out, I originally thought that there were wives and concubines around me, even if they took root, but later I found out that this does not count, and I must marry a wife and concubine in the local area, so I can be regarded as rooted here, and I had to send Luo back to Liuzhou and marry Qiu here." ”

Mo Di was a little stunned, this was not a small difference from what he knew, he had heard Li Xuan say that Luo had done what he shouldn't have done, but what he heard here was very different, could there be other hidden truths.

"Before Chief Ou Shounian was transferred from the 176th Division, there were rumors through the grapevine that I would take over the post of commander of the 176th Division. As a last resort, I sent Luo back to Liuzhou to marry another concubine locally. Speaking of this, Tan Heyi looked bitter: "My salary is not much, and it is said that I can't afford to support a three-room wife and concubine, and there is no way to do it, otherwise, I can only do a deputy job for a lifetime." ”

Mo Di didn't know whether to comfort him or encourage him, so he prepared a few words, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to shake his head silently.

Tan Heyi shook his head when he saw Mo Enemy, thinking that he didn't believe his words, thought about it, and continued: "Tianzong, if you don't believe me, you might as well ask your friend Li Benyi, who is about to become the commander of the 138th Division. Li Benyi has a wife in his hometown of Longtang, Rong County, why did he marry a concubine in the local area last year, which is also the reason. ”

Li Benyi knew that he married a concubine, but he didn't know if he married a concubine for this reason. However, being able to serve as the commander of the 138th Division must have a certain relationship.

"Li Benyi is limited to the issue of seniority, this time it is estimated that he cannot be in place in one step, his military rank is Major General, and he can only temporarily act as the deputy commander of the 138th Division, the 138th Division is a Class B division, and the division commander must be a lieutenant general." Tan Heyi said: "I am the same as Li Benyi, the widow sleeps, there is no one on it, and the first level is completely relied on fighting." I am forty-five years old this year, and Li Benyi is also thirty-nine, how bitter it is to be able to come to this point. Tianzhong, you are exactly thirty this year, and you have been precipitated at the rank of colonel for nearly five years in the year of your establishment, and your prospects are far better than ours. ”

Mo Di nodded, although he has been in the army for a long time, he is not very old, and the thirty-year-old colonel is not too much. The reason why Li Benyi was able to be promoted to major general was because he graduated from the first class of higher education at the Nanning branch of the Central Military Academy. Zhang Guangwei, who graduated from Guilin's first-class industrial school and has a good cultural foundation, is now the deputy commander of the 84th Army with the rank of lieutenant general. What I owe is the diploma of the military academy, otherwise, I would not have stayed at the stage of the colonel and regiment commander for so long.

"If it weren't for any inconvenience, Tianzong would still marry a wife and concubine locally, and after standing at thirty, he would have reached the age of starting a family." Tan Heyi said: "I heard from Yang Shenzuo of the Military Department that I plan to transfer you to the post of chief of staff of the 48th Army, mainly to coordinate the combat work of the 176th Division and the 138th Division. ”

Mo Di stopped and looked up at Tan Heyi, Yang Zanmo knew that he admired Mo Di, but it was the first time he had heard of letting him concurrently serve as the chief of staff. Yang Chuangqi of the 527th Regiment concurrently served as the commander of the Lihuang garrison, and he did not show up in Meicheng for several months, and all the work of the 527th Regiment was handed over to Peng Wu, the deputy of the regiment. If he were the chief of staff of the 48th Army, would he also go to the deep ditch where the birds don't?

"In the early hours of yesterday morning, there was a fierce battle in the Shanggao area of Jiangxi, and the Japanese soldiers were divided into two routes, and the 33rd Division on the North Road launched an attack from Anyi to the 70th Army, occupied Fengxin at noon, and advanced to the vicinity of Coffin Mountain and Cheping today. The 20th Brigade of the Japanese Army on the South Road crossed the Ganjiang River west near Hehu at noon yesterday afternoon, and then marched westward along the south bank of the Jinjiang River. The Japanese army on both sides was fiercely counterattacked by our army, and General Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 19th Group Army, did not retreat in the face of the invading enemy, and vowed to fight a bloody battle to the end. Tan Heyi said: "Early this morning, Chief He Yingqin of the General Staff said to Vice Minister Bai Chongxi that if the 138th Division of the 48th Army faced such an attack by the Japanese army, how would it deal with it? Chief Bai's face was red and he didn't dare to answer. At noon, the Military Command Department sent a telegram ordering that all the personnel reported by the 138th Division should be approved, and all the people must be in place within three days, and the rectification should be carried out immediately. ”

Mo Di smiled when he heard it, it seemed that Chief Bai was stimulated. In the past few days, he has been marching, returning to Yuexi from Zongyang, and the transmitter is also in a state of silence, not knowing that there is a fierce battle in Shanggao, Jiangxi, nor that Li Benyi is quickly taking office, let alone how the 138th Division will be rectified. In his opinion, the 138th Division can't even help a small Wang Zhanlin, the problem is not small, Li Benyi rectified the 138th Division, but he was afraid that he would be tired.

"It is said that after the last defeat of the 138th Division, Commander Huang Xuchu of Guilin called Yan Sengwu to ask about the situation, and Yan Sengwu told Chief Huang that the 138th Division except for Wei Jiebo of the 414th Regiment is still useful, and the rest of the people are Mo Dehong's protégés. When Tan Heyi said this, he was disdainful, and as the main division of the 48th Army, he had a tendency to look down on the 138th Division. continued: "Li Benyi estimated that he also knew that the 138th Division had rotted to the foundation, and he could not reverse the decline in one fell swoop by his own strength, and put forward some conditions for appointing him as the commander of the 138th Division, and at the same time he was also an opinion. ”

Mo Di is more interested in this, Li Benyi is the eldest brother he has followed since he was in the army, and the relationship is not shallow, and he cares about his every move. Tan Heyi understands this very well, in the battle on Jinpu South Road back then, there was a danger in the enemy department, and Li Benyi sacrificed his life to save him, which was a friendship of life and death.

Tan Heyi continued: "Li Benyi proposed that he should carry out a major reorganization of the 138th Division, and the former chief of staff Colonel Cui Jian and the former commander of the 413th Regiment, Colonel Wei Daizhen, were transferred from the 138th Division, and he took a formed regiment from Mingguang through Shucheng to rebuild the 413th Regiment. The remaining 100 people of the 413th Regiment were added to the 412th Regiment and the 414th Regiment, and a corresponding number of personnel were selected from the 412th Regiment and the 414th Regiment to form an artillery battalion directly under the division. ”

This is a big deal, and there is no hostile attitude. It seems that Li Benyi made Shangfeng realize his importance and extraordinary.

"The chief of staff he proposed, Tianzong, you should know, is your old subordinate before, Colonel Gong Qingyuan, the chief of staff of Xu Ping's advance army. The regiment you brought is also your old subordinate, the regiment commander, Colonel Liu Qinglong. The commander of the artillery battalion is called Liang Yisheng, I don't know if you know him. Tan Heyi said.

"Acquaintance." Mo Di replied. Although his tone was very calm, but his heart was extremely uncalm, he didn't feel anything wrong with Qin Jishi coming over before, this time Gong Qingyuan and Liu Qinglong's team came over, he began to worry a little about Xu Ping, because in this way, wouldn't Xu Ping be taken away, even if Xu Ping was appointed as the commissioner of the fifth district, wouldn't he also become the commander of Guangzhi.

"I know why you are also the chief of staff of the military department." Tan Heyi asked with a smile.

"Got it." Mo Di also smiled, if he said it so clearly, he didn't know, unless he was a fool.

"Actually, it's okay if I don't serve as this chief of staff." Mo Di said: "Isn't there also the deputy seat of the army, Chief Mo Dehong, he is the old commander of the 138th Division, who dares to disobey his words." ”

"As far as I know, Chief Mo's days in the 48th Army will not be too long. When the 138th Division was in place, it was when Commander Mo left, and his position was also set, and he was the commander of the Xunwu Division. Tan Heyi said: "The candidate to take over as the deputy commander of the 48th Army has also been decided, and the commander of the 172nd Division, Cheng Shufen. After Division Commander Cheng was transferred to our army, Lieutenant General Zhong Ji, director of the 10th Supplementary Training Division of the Ministry of Military Affairs, served as the deputy division commander and acting division commander of the 172nd Division. Zhu Nairui, deputy commander of the 172nd Division, is also director of the Political Department, and is still concurrently serving as the chief of education of major generals in the training class for party, government, and military staff in Henan, Hubei, and Anhui border regions, and the chief of education of major generals of the wartime cadre training regiment of the 21st Group Army and the chief of major generals of the military training corps. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Mo Di nodded, Zhong Ji was his old friend, came to the Seventh Army, served as the commander of the first division, and had another friend in Anhui.

"So, Tianzhong!" Tan Heyi stopped, turned around, faced Mo Di, and said very seriously: "In the near future, you must find a woman with both ability and political integrity to start a family and start a family, when the time comes." ”

Unbeatable, after going around for a long time, the central idea is actually here.
