Since Zunyi was captured by the Red Army in the early morning of January 7, the whole Guizhou was in turmoil, and every tree and plant was in turmoil. Under the influence of the Communist Party's government's propaganda all year round, the Communist Party was no different from a scourge of communists sharing wives. As long as the family had some savings or land,
, or families with relatively beautiful wives and daughters have huge prejudices and fears against the Communist Red Army. More and more landlords, rich peasants and people from well-off families fled Guizhou with their families to seek refuge.
Among them, the largest number of people fled to Xufu and Luzhou areas in southern Sichuan. Various rumors and an atmosphere of terror spread with the fleeing people.
In the southern Sichuan area closest to Guizhou, due to the prestige established by the government and the Anjia Army over the years, there has not been any large-scale panic. On the contrary, in Chongqing, Chengdu and other places farther away, there is an atmosphere of pessimism, despair and panic. There are rumors that the Red Army is attacking from the north and the south.
Rumors of occupying Sichuan and establishing a base became more and more popular. Countless wealthy businessmen and wealthy officials quickly deposited their money in the most reliable Southwest Bank, or simply remitted it to places such as Shanghai and Nanjing. The entire eastern Sichuan and Chengdu areas no longer had security and stability.
Due to the social order, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui were at a loss what to do for a while.
An Yi and his generals, who held meetings for two consecutive days, quickly realized the negative impact of this situation on southern Sichuan. After discussion, they not only clarified right and wrong and appeased the people through several channels of the southern Sichuan Radio Station and major newspapers, but also fully supported it.
Various government departments originally planned various large-scale cultural activities and series of celebrations between the New Year and the Spring Festival. They used a two-pronged approach of publicity and practical actions to let the public see the huge confidence of the military and the government and minimize the negative impact.
An Yi and dozens of his generals not only attended the annual calligraphy and painting exhibition held by the southwest cultural and art circles, visited major factories and commodity trading markets, but also held their children and led their wives to watch the exhibitions organized by various social literary and art groups and
The artistic performance held by the Anjiajun Art Troupe was filled with laughter and excitement everywhere it went, and people from all walks of life in southern Sichuan finally returned to smiling faces.
However, a series of major events that occurred outside southern Sichuan in the past few days were closely watched by the seemingly relaxed generals. Every night, An Yi would organize a meeting with the brothers to discuss various situations and battlefield situations that occurred that day. Hu Jialin
When the former *** brothers once again returned to the familiar military atmosphere of those days, the new generals Zhang Chengzhu, Yang Jiuxiao, Li Jinlong, Xiao Wu and others who had joined the Anjia Army were also deeply affected and spoke enthusiastically.
Treat yourself as an outsider.
In the past few days, various major events have followed one after another. On the day when the main force of the Red Army occupied Zunyi, the headquarters of the Second Army of the pursuit force led by Xue Yue entered Guiyang City at the same time. In the chaos of Guizhou's military and political circles, there was mixed joy and sorrow.
, the eight divisions of the Second Army rumbled into Guiyang. Among them, Wu Qiwei's column stationed in the counties east of Guiyang and immediately deployed intensive defenses. Zhou Hunyuan's column circled the city and drove to the west and north of the city, quickly taking over the Guizhou Army.
At the position and surrounding important towns, Xue Yue's well-equipped and highly moralized direct divisions marched into the city in a mighty manner. They effortlessly took control of the strategic locations in the city and announced that they would take charge of Guiyang's defense and suppression operations from now on in accordance with the central government's orders.
The various departments of the Guizhou Army, which had been defeated by the Red Army, were already in low morale and were in panic all day long. Moreover, three of Hou Zhidan's remaining five main regiments suddenly raised the Red Army flag and joined the ranks of the Red Army. The Guizhou Army was completely disintegrated.
, like a pile of scattered sand, who dares to say no to the aggressive Central Military Army?
Guizhou fell into the hands of the central government and Chiang Kai-shek in the blink of an eye. Mao Guangxiang and Wang Jialie lost their army and territory and became rootless.
The An Jiajun brothers deeply admired An Yi's accurate judgment, and at the same time they united their thoughts more firmly - they must not let the Central Army enter their territory one by one, otherwise they will end up with the same miserable end as the Guizhou Army.
.
The news that Xue Yue's army successfully occupied Guiyang was promptly reported by the Central Radio Station and the Southern Sichuan Radio Station. The warlords of Guangdong and Guangxi were shocked and not to be outdone. They repeatedly called the central government and requested to "aid the Guizhou army and enter Guizhou to suppress the bandits." The confident Chiang Kai-shek responded with a smile.
, was not in a hurry, and waited until all Wan Huihuang's column entered Guizhou and occupied strategic locations, then he gladly sent a reply to Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Chen Jitang and others, agreeing that the Guangdong and Guangxi armies would enter Guizhou to assist in the war and jointly wipe out the main force of the Red Army.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, who had already sent troops to Guizhou, once again transferred Liao Lei's Seventh Army from northern Guizhou to various parts of southern Guizhou to consolidate their original gains. Only Chen Jitang cursed that he could not gain benefits because of the distance, and dispatched the second army in desperation.
Zhang Da, deputy commander of the army, led three divisions of the Guangdong Army and rushed to the southeastern Guizhou area to see if there was any advantage to be taken.
Prior to this, Zhang Hongluan's 44th Army had quietly recovered the counties in northeastern Guizhou that had been abandoned. The Yunnan King Zhu Peide, who was waiting for the situation, ordered Zhu Shigui to lead a division to quietly reinforce the security forces on the Yunnan-Guizhou border as a precaution.
Let's secure the territory first.
The Red Army paid no attention to the Communist Party's deployment of troops, and quickly occupied and controlled Loushanguan, a strategic chokepoint between Zunyi and Tongzi, firmly blocking the local Japanese troops in northern Guizhou from Zunyi.
, with only one division of more than 8,000 people left, the Huang-Han Twentieth Army received orders from the Central Committee of the Red Army. With the Communists' overall mind and dedication to the revolutionary cause, they vented their full anger on the Tongzi area.
As for the Guizhou Army, it only took one and a half days to conquer Tongzi County and most of the surrounding areas. Hou Zhidan, the former enemy commander of the Guizhou Army, was so frightened that he fled to Huairen without his life.
Huang Han's four main regiments immediately gave way to the friendly forces in Tongzi County, quickly moved forward, and launched close vigilance against the Anjia Army on the border between Sichuan and Guizhou in northern Guizhou to ensure the rest and reorganization of the main force of the Central Red Army and the safe conduct of important meetings of the Party Central Committee.
The week-long secret military meeting of the Anyi Group came to an end soon. During these seven days, all ministries unified their ideological understanding and acted in order to ensure the independence of the Communist Party of China in southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan and surrounding allies under the current complicated situation.
The main purpose is to compete with the Central Army on this basis, preserve strength, and accumulate strength for the future war against Japan. Hu Jialin and the generals of the 17th Army cherish this time of reunion with their families, and almost all of them spent the last three days.
I spent time with my family in the villa area across a courtyard from Xiyuan. During the day, in addition to going out to play in the streets, I also went shopping for my parents, wife and children in Anjuxu Mansion. After dinner in the evening, I went to the Anjiajun base camp to continue meetings and discussions.
The current situation solves various practical problems.
Yang Jiuxiao, Zhang Chengzhu, Li Jinlong, Xiao Wu and other generals who have recently joined the Anjia Army are very fond of the family compound with beautiful environment and complete facilities at the foot of Cuiping Mountain. They are full of praise for the dozens of unique and very practical villa complexes.
And they all clearly realize that once a full-scale war breaks out between China and Japan, only Xufu City, where the Anjia Army headquarters is located, will be the safest. It is not only a veritable rear area, but also has the most advanced aircraft manufacturing plants and air force bases in the country.
, at the same time, the density of anti-aircraft fire is second to none, and the Japanese army can never take any advantage here. However, most of their families still choose to stay in their hometowns in the north, and are not willing to leave their hometown and move to southern Sichuan for a while, but An Yi
Sites have already been left for every brother. Dozens of newly built villas in the compound are about to be completed. All brothers above the deputy division commander and brigade commander have a share. Yang Jiuxiao, Zhang Chengzhu and others were extremely moved by this considerate and considerate care.
Thank you.
An Yi said easily that everyone would be able to use it soon. Otherwise, if North China and East China were at war, how could they lead the troops to fight wholeheartedly without settling down their parents, relatives, brothers and sisters?
Among the old brothers from An Yi, only Lu Yixuan’s parents like the climate and lifestyle in Nanjing. They still live in Houzai Lane and they may not be able to move there in the near future. The families of all other brothers
They have all moved into the compound at the foot of Cuiping Mountain. The old people live a colorful life, with a special chess and card room and a place for dancing. In their spare time, they all like to visit the West Garden across from the institute compound.
I visited a group of An Yi's children and chatted with the enthusiastic Aunt Ma, Ma Wu, etc. The old people also organized their own clubs and often carried out various social welfare activities. They lived a very fulfilling and happy life.
Hu Jialin, Xia Jian and other military brothers returned to their respective units reluctantly after their holidays. Headquarters staff such as An Yi and Yang Bin still maintained a relaxed attitude, frequently visiting the venues of major cultural events and attending cultural relics led by Gong Qian.
In the first "Treasure Appraisal" event in Southwest China hosted by the Conservation Committee, An Yi personally held up a placard at the auction to buy a large tripod and four ancient jades from the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the promotion and exaggeration of newspapers and radio stations, it was immediately popular among the Southwest provinces.
It became a good story.
When the people in southern Sichuan saw that their commander-in-chief and government officials at all levels were so calm and calm, the panic in their hearts also dissipated. They all said that as long as the An family army was there, and as long as the government led by General An Yi was there, there was nothing to worry about.
Work when you need to work, do business when you need to do business, how you used to live, how you still live now.
All kinds of news in southern Sichuan naturally quickly spread to surrounding provinces and all over the country. Chiang Kai-shek, freed from Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places, sent six divisions of the Central Army to Chongqing and Chengdu. The Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army
The pressure suddenly increased, and under the joint attack of the Central Army and the Sichuan Army, they retreated step by step. Seeing that the southern Sichuan barrier in central Sichuan was so relieved, all walks of life in Sichuan, and the Red Army in northern Sichuan was also repulsed. Their panic-stricken hearts finally calmed down, and social order
It also gradually recovered, and teahouses all over Sichuan were once again crowded with customers, and there were relaxed people everywhere drinking tea and setting up dragon gate formations.
Dahe Town, twenty kilometers due north of Tongzi County, is located on the main Sichuan-Guizhou transportation road. To the north is the Nanchuan and Qijiang lines where the Anjia Army is heavily stationed. It is also the strategic center of the Sichuan-Guizhou border. Huang Han's 20th Army
The military headquarters is located in the large-scale Wenchang Temple in the west of the town.
The new military political commissar Li Xiaolong has shown magnanimity in the nearly ten days of fighting. He has set an example several times. During the battle, he either went down to the grassroots to express condolences to the soldiers, or exchanged opinions with commanders at all levels candidly. He is not only capable of literary and military skills,
He was highly skilled and had no airs about him, so he was gradually accepted by Huang Han and the soldiers.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Xiaolong was still the same as the previous few days. As long as he was not assisting Huang Han in directing battles or rushing marches, he would come to the telecommunications room, listen to the news from the Southern Sichuan Radio Station with Huang Han, Liu Ziyuan, and Du Qiliang, and then discuss the information revealed in it.
A heated discussion was held based on the military information reported by superiors.
As soon as Li Xiaolong entered the west wing today, he saw that Huang Han had shaved off his beard that had not been shaved for ten days, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and his expression looked much more relaxed.
Li Xiaolong was secretly happy, knowing that Huang Han had completely let go of his ideological burden and no longer clung to the annoyance and dissatisfaction of half of his troops being divided. Although Huang Han's self-control ability was amazing, after listening to Li Xiaolong read out the troop division document that day, there was no trace of anything.
Losing his composure and anger, Li Xiaolong could still see from Huang Han's tearful eyes and slightly trembling body the impact this news had on this iron-clad general.
Li Xiaolong will never forget the morning when the troops were divided. Huang Han gathered more than 8,000 brothers from the 41st Division under his command, told the soldiers about the current severe situation in the most concise and simple language, and finally shouted the slogan of the Party Central Committee.
Slogans. In the end, more than 8,000 soldiers shouted slogans and left with tears in their eyes. The scene of turning back three times at a time made all the soldiers of the 20th Army shed tears. Deputy Commander Liu Ziyuan burst into tears. Only Huang Han was left.
Standing high on the ridge, he looked at the endless marching team in the south with a stern expression and said nothing.
After listening to the news discussion, Huang Han raised his head and threw a cigarette to Li Xiaolong: "Going for a walk?"
"good!"
Li Xiaolong lit a cigarette, patted the cheerful communications company commander Chang Sheng on the shoulder, took the pack of cigarettes from him, and said thank you.
When they reached the bluestone slab by the river, the two of them stopped. Huang Han tightened the collar of his coat and asked in a low voice: "There are so many news broadcasts on Southern Sichuan Radio today. What do you think?"
Li Xiaolong refilled a cigarette again, took a few puffs, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "An Yi is so cunning! He actually went to condolences the soldiers of the art troupe, and even took a photo with the Belarusian ballet dancers. Wow... This grandson is really awesome.
My mother is a master of psychological warfare, and she is even more insidious and cunning than during the Northern Expedition."
"Wait! When you say that, it sounds like you know An Yi?" Huang Han asked in surprise.
Li Xiaolong nodded and looked up at the stars again: "Yes! I know him, and I got acquainted with him as early as when he was the commander of the model battalion. Before fighting He Shengqiao, I joined his team in Xianning
Army. Unfortunately, he discovered my identity as a party member as soon as I entered. This man was very cunning and had sharp eyesight. From then on, he never looked at me well. I was a dignified college student who joined the army, and he actually kept me there for several months.
The horse belongs to grandma!"
Huang Han was even more surprised: "It's like this. No wonder you are so familiar with the generals of the Anjia Army... I was still at Huangpu Military Academy at that time, and I just went north after capturing Wuhan... You joined the Northern Expedition much earlier than I did! Lao Li,
Tell me, what happened next? Why did you leave the model camp and the Anjia Army?"
Li Xiaolong nodded and told how he entered the model camp, how he was suppressed by An Yi and encouraged by Yin Jinan, how he met the bandit leader Gu Changfeng for the first time while stationed in Tonggu, how An Yi cleverly and shockingly defeated Fengxin,
After he left An Yi's army, An Yi's *** regiment was upgraded to a *** division. After he was accidentally arrested in Nanjing, An Yi generously rescued him. After he joined the Central Red Army, how did he interact with An Yi's old Nanchang?
Doing business, smuggling contraband, etc., and even told him about the shooting training materials An Yi gave him. The conversation was full of ups and downs, mixed happiness and sorrow, and Huang Han was stunned when he heard it.
"It turns out that you and An Yi have such a close relationship... No wonder I see in you a completely different style and demeanor from other political cadres in the army. Your experience is so rich!" Huang Han sighed sincerely.
Li Xiaolong shook his head: "What about you? I saw in the headquarters files that you and An Yi knew each other when they were at Whampoa Military Academy. What do you think of him?"
Huang Han had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. From the moment he heard the news that Chen Dingyuan was shot, he finally fully understood An Yi's painstaking efforts, and he was filled with infinite gratitude in his heart. At the same time, he also knew that An Yi
Yi gave the troops a defense map and a code book, which meant that An Yi would never contact him again. Huang Han even felt bitter and sad because of this. Although the Taoists and Taoists did not agree with each other,
An Yi valued affection and righteousness so much, and had such a deep friendship, which made Huang Han extremely grateful, and in his heart he regarded An Yi as his own brother.
After pondering for a long time, Huang Han said quietly: "I admire An Yi very much. He is the most talented military general I have ever seen in my life. He is also a man with profound strategies and far-sighted vision. Although we have different positions, we cannot
Therefore, you should understand that you deny his great contribution to the country and the people. From what you just said, I can also hear your emotions.
"However, he is also an extremely terrifying enemy. Judging from the fact that he quickly adjusted the defenses across the board after he shot Comrade Chen Dingyuan, his actions were very fast and terrifying. What is even more frightening is that from now on, we will never know him again.
The troops of the Anjia Army and the Qianxi Shizhen Division have been deployed. It is estimated that this will also put a lot of pressure on the central government to judge the overall situation. After all, the Anjiajun, Qianxi, and Xiangxi troops are too fierce. They fought in the Shanghai and Great Wall resistance wars.
It is so outstanding that even Chiang Kai-shek has to admire it, not to mention the various departments of the Central Army, so we must attach great importance to it."
"Your analysis is very correct. This is what I am most worried about."
Li Xiaolong paused for a moment and whispered: "Please pay attention to something later. We brothers can comment on An Yi however we want in private. On other occasions, you must not say what you just said, or say any praise or sympathy for An Yi."
Use your own language, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous... I believe you will never forget how you were wronged and victimized in the first place. You will learn from it and never do it again!"
Huang Han smiled slightly and patted Li Xiaolong's shoulder gratefully. Without saying anything, he took out the cigarette and handed it to Li Xiaolong. The two of them lit it beautifully while holding the flame.
From this moment on, the two hearts move from mutual defense to mutual understanding and integration.
