There was no suspense about the development of the "Guangdong and Guangxi Incident". Chen Jitang, who was rebellious and separated from his relatives, saw that the situation was over, took away a huge sum of 40 million from Guangdong's finance, and fled to Hong Kong. He immediately energized and resigned. Yu Hanmou gained the unanimous support of the Guangdong generals.
Returned to Guangzhou, took over the military power, reorganized the army in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, and eliminated Chen Jitang's cronies in the Guangdong army with thunderous momentum. Then he dispatched troops and generals in three directions to the Guangdong-Guangxi border, and turned his guns on the Guangxi army.
.
The Guangdong Army Air Force, known as the second largest in the country, under the leadership of its commander Huang Guangrui, flew all the operational aircraft of the Guangdong Army to the central government and was stationed at the two major airports in Nanjing and Nanchang. Only three Guangdong Air Force bases were left in Guangzhou and Shaoguan.
With more than ten old-fashioned aircraft that were broken and scrapped and unable to fly, Zhou Zhirou's Central Air Force instantly expanded by one-third; the Guangdong Navy generals electrified to support the central leadership, and then sailed their ships north to join the Central Navy.
The Guangdong Army, the only one in the country with three armies: sea, army and air force, suffered a serious loss due to this change. It was left with only one arm, the army, with less than 80,000 soldiers.
Guangxi, which was alone and unable to hold on, was in a predicament of being overwhelmed by soldiers and besieged on all sides, but still maintained a tough attitude of fighting to the end. Under the advice of his think tank Yang Yongtai, Chiang Kai-shek, through the central government in accordance with a strict organizational form, worked on the ***
The Guangxi clique was split, and Li Zongren was transferred to the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, and Bai Chongxi was appointed Chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government; Huang Shaohong was appointed Director of Guangxi Appeasement, and Li Pinxian was appointed Deputy Director.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were furious and called to oppose the central committee's resolution and expressed their firm determination to "fight to the end for survival." Huang Shaohong, who tried his best to avoid conflicts with his roommates, also strongly opposed it and would rather resign and go home to have his wife and children than accept it.
This decision of the central government.
Chiang Kai-shek immediately convened the Central Executive Committee and once again approved a series of important appointments through the central government:
Specially appointed Zhu Peide as Director of Yunnan and Guizhou Appeasement and Xue Yue as Deputy Director, and abolished the Yunnan and Guizhou Bandit Suppression Headquarters; secondly, appointed Gu Zhutong as Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government.
After the announcement, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, Liu Xiang and other princes sent telegrams to persuade Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to go north to take office. Telegrams from Cheng Qian, He Yingqin, Zhu Peide, Tang Shengzhi and others followed closely. All the telegrams had the same content:
After telephoning Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi left Guangxi and went north to take up his post.
People with a discerning eye immediately realized that if the Guangxi clique continued to confront the Guangxi clique, more than ten divisions of the Central Army would launch a crusade against the Guangxi clique. Li Zongren was shocked and finally made a compromise, secretly sending Guangxi Provincial Chairman Huang Xuchu to Lushan to meet with Chiang Kai-shek and National President Lin Sen.
,by
Arriving at Lin Sen, Chiang Kai-shek and others warmly received him. At the same time, Chen Cheng, Zhu Peide, Xiang Hanping and others dispatched by Chiang Kai-shek also arrived in Nanning successively to have frank negotiations with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. The "Guangdong and Guangxi Incident" finally came to an end.
Good way.
On August 11, Chiang Kai-shek flew to Guangzhou, met with Liu Fei, Chief of Staff of the Guangxi Army, and asked Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to come to Guangzhou for talks.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were afraid of being plotted, so they hesitated and couldn't decide for several days. Just when they were thinking about the past and future, Guangxi Air Force Lin Weicheng, Chief of Staff Deng Zixiang and other officers and soldiers could not bear the selfishness and corruption of the Guangxi generals.
Following the example of Huang Guangrui, commander of the Guangdong Army Air Force, he led two air force groups and a reconnaissance squadron to fly to Nanchang. Shortly after landing, he issued a statement "Opposing *** and civil war, and supporting the leadership of the central government in safeguarding national unity."
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were angry and frustrated. They had to make a critical decision. Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu went to Guangzhou to bargain with Chiang Kai-shek.
August 13th, 13 kilometers west of Zhangde (now Anyang, Henan), Miaoling Village.
Under the scorching sun, An Yi, who was wearing an ordinary noncommissioned officer's uniform, accompanied by the generals, climbed up the Dasha Ridge and raised his binoculars to carefully observe the exercise fortifications and trenches being built by the officers and soldiers of the two divisions of the 40th Army. An Yi's
The soft training hat was soaked with sweat, and large beads of sweat rolled down his tanned cheeks, down his strong neck, and onto his shoulders, chest and abdomen.
An Yi is surrounded by veteran Lieutenant General Pang Bingxun, Chief of Staff of the Forty Army, Major General Ma Fawu, Commander of the New 16th Division, Major General Liu Shirong, Commander of the New 17th Division, Major General Li Yuntong, and Commander of the Japanese Brigade, Major General Miyagi.
Not much better than An Yi, everyone was covered in sweat, their military uniforms were wet and dry, and dry and wet again. Almost every general and colonel carried a map stained by sweat.
For four consecutive days, An Yi went deep into the construction area of the exercise position with the generals of the Forty Army during the day. At night, at the request of Pang Bingxun and Miyagi, he gave lectures and reports to officers above the commander of the Forty Army. From the beginning to the end, An Yi
Wearing an ordinary non-commissioned officer's uniform, he visited the position construction points in person to teach construction techniques and clarify requirements to the engineer brothers of each division, and explained the setting and firepower erection of key points of the position.
According to the principle of point distribution, when it comes to key points, An Yi usually does it himself, working with honest and simple ordinary officers and soldiers, teaching various techniques while doing it, and repeating it until he does it well. During the whole process, he personally
As a general, An Yi didn't have any airs or any impatience. It wasn't until the officers and soldiers grasped the situation and made a brief summary that he clapped his hands and left with satisfaction.
An Yi's candid and meticulous style won the hearts of all the soldiers of the Forty Army. More directly, the soldiers knew that the sturdy camouflage uniforms on their bodies, the Zhongzheng rifle in their hands, the steel helmets on their heads, and the rubber shoes on their feet were
Who gave it to him, his military pay and the constantly improving food, and who helped solve the problem.
Therefore, no matter where An Yi went, the grateful soldiers gave him a sincere smile and saluted him upright.
At first, Ma Fawu, the chief of staff of the Forty Army who thought An Yi was just walking around in a circle to show off, apologized to An Yi with a bowl of wine in his hands when the generals had dinner with the officers and soldiers on the third day.
Please forgive An Yi for his neglect and disrespect over the past few days. Pang Bingxun, commander of the Forty Army, his former life-and-death rival, sighed with mixed emotions: I only regretted that I met brother An too late, and it was not unfair at all to be defeated by the An family army!
According to the plan, An Yi only had to conduct an inspection for three days before returning to Baoding. However, after An Yi arrived at the 40th Army, he decided to double the inspection time.
The 40th Army originally had only one division, with a total number of officers and soldiers of less than 25,000. At the end of last year, with the strong support of An Yi, it has developed into two divisions and one brigade, with a total strength of 42,000.
The main local force, the original designation of the Thirty-ninth Division had been replaced before the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.
After being taken away by An Yi, An Yi, who felt quite guilty, immediately called Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. In just half a day, he applied for the designation of two regular divisions for the Forty Army, and completely solved the problem that had long troubled the Forty Army.
The problem of military pay and materials made the 40th Army no longer have any worries.
For this alone, An Yi made the generals of the Forty Army inexplicably grateful. What's more, An Yi selected the Forty Army as the main force of this all-army confrontation exercise, and launched an offensive and defensive attack with the *** division of the Seventeenth Army that simulated the Japanese army.
The confrontation allowed the unknown 40th Army to quickly receive a large number of supplements. With the help of An Yi's staff team, both weapons, equipment and command system were improved exponentially, and it truly became a veritable regular army in the National Revolutionary Army sequence.
In the telescope, thousands of officers and soldiers of the 40th Army were shirtless and sweating profusely under the scorching sun. The three trenches built along the favorable terrain had already taken shape. They were more reasonable than what they saw on the first day, and the progress and quality were greatly improved.
promote.
An Yi was very satisfied. Just as he was about to put down the telescope, he heard Ma Fawu next to him scolding loudly: "Who is that little coward? How dare you beat his regiment leader? You don't want to live anymore?"
An Yi turned the telescope to the No. 3 highland four hundred meters to the southeast. He saw a shirtless and muscular man chasing a neatly dressed school officer. The officer was not running slowly, but on the steep slope of the turn
Don't dare to speed up
, he was kicked down by a strong man who jumped down from above. He rolled down more than ten meters and struggled to get up. The strong man wanted to rush down the slope, but was hugged tightly by a group of veterans who quickly caught up. There was no shouting from the high ground.
Absolutely, a mess.
Pang Bingxun's stern voice sounded: "Shirong, what happened to your first brigade?"
"Report to the military, my subordinates will deal with it now. Damn it, why is there internal strife at this time?" Division Commander Liu Shirong put away his telescope, cursed and ran down the Dasha Ridge.
Pang Bingxun wiped the sweat from his face and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother An, I didn't manage the army strictly, and such scandals happened, which made you laugh."
An Yi shook his head and smiled: "Brother, I'm out of touch. The military judge found that this kind of thing is normal. Among the few main divisions of my younger brother, fights often occur. It's not a big deal. Let the military judge figure out the merits.
That’s enough, there’s no need to make a fuss out of a molehill.”
Ma Fawu thought for a while and asked curiously: "General An, how does the An family army usually deal with this kind of thing?"
An Yi replied politely: "First, regardless of right or wrong, the following offenders will be punished first. In this case, they are usually detained for three days and deducted one month of military pay, and ordered to review; second, the military judge and
The *** officers formed an investigation team to find out the reasons and deal with them as appropriate. No matter how big an official you are, if you make a mistake, you will be severely punished. The lightest one is to be suspended from duty for in-depth self-examination, and the most serious one is to be sent to a military court for judgment or even
Expelled from the military and executed by firing squad. Since the establishment of our army, no less than a hundred officers at battalion level and above have been punished for abuse of power, corruption, misappropriation and other crimes. Eleven of them have been executed by firing squad. To this day, more than 30 officers are still serving in our Syrian military.
One of them was a good brother who saved the life of the deputy commander of the 24th Army during the Second Northern Expedition. He was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for drunken sexual intercourse with a girl selling cigarettes."
Ma Fawu and other Forty Army generals looked at An Yi in surprise. Liu Qing, the chief of staff beside An Yi, nodded and explained patiently: "The man our commander mentioned is named Chu Changjie. He was used during the Songhu Battle."
He was a combat hero who continuously destroyed three Japanese firepower points with mortars. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek personally decorated him with medals. The Central News Agency vigorously publicized his achievements for this purpose. Before he was sentenced, he was already a colonel and deputy brigade commander."
Miyagi exclaimed in shock: "Isn't that senior brother Chu Changjie from Huangpu's third phase infantry department?"
Liu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, it's him. Many Huangpu brothers interceded for him for this. He himself also regretted it, but military law is like a mountain, and it's useless for anyone to intercede!"
The generals fell silent for a moment. Pang Bingxun took a deep breath and turned to the adjutant behind him:
"Go and notify the *** Department, investigate and deal with it seriously, and never bend the law for personal gain. Don't get fooled by thinking that Chen Weiyong is my brother-in-law. General An and I will try it in person tonight, and the results will be reported to the entire army to serve as a warning."
, Otherwise, the innocent brothers will be exhausted sooner or later!"
