During this period of getting along, An Yi clearly felt that Pang Bingxun was a very traditional soldier. He was shrewd and decisive as a general, but also had a strong feudal paternalistic style.
There is a lot of nepotism in the selection and use of officers at all levels.
In a word, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army completely inherited the old tradition of the Northwest Army. In some aspects, it is closer to the old commander Feng Yuxiang than Song Zheyuan, Han Fuqu and others.
Chen Weiyong, commander of the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment who was chased by his company commander in the afternoon, was Pang Bingxun’s brother-in-law. He was also one of the loyal generals who followed Pang Bingxun through life and death during the Central Plains War. The following company commander was named Lin Xingyan.
When the people were taken to the headquarters by the military police and stood in the middle of the hall, An Yi could see a clue from their expressions.
Chen Weiyong, who was short and stout, could not conceal his guilty conscience on his angry face. Lin Xingyan, who was tall and strong and about twenty-five years old, was not afraid at all. His eyes under his thick eyebrows revealed the slightest indifference, and his outline
There is no expression on his clear face, and he is a ruthless character who doesn't speak much and is calm and stoic.
An Yi felt a unique and unruly temperament from Lin Xingyan's upright body. Such people are rare in the military. They are usually those who have real talents and knowledge, dare to fight and fight, but are very willing to use them.
With a little training and a chance to perform, a junior officer with a bright brain may be able to shine and quickly grow into an excellent mid- to high-level commander.
Under Pang Bingxun's majesty, things soon came to light.
The leader of the first regiment, Chen Weiyong, formed a clique and deliberately made things difficult for the disobedient infantry company commander Lin Xingyan, causing more than a hundred brothers in the entire company to suffer along with Lin Xingyan. For more than a year, not only did the regiment leader Chen Weiyong repeatedly use him in this way and that
They were tortured back and forth on the pretext of deducting military pay,
After the expansion of the Forty Army, every possible effort was made to crack down on and exclude Lin Xingyan, who was trusted and supported by his subordinates for his outstanding abilities. Not counting his lack of promotion, the entire company was faced with difficulties in every aspect. He received the lowest military pay and worked the hardest and most tiring job.
Whether alive or not, the weapons in the hands of officers and soldiers
The weapons have not been replenished yet, and they still hold old rifles with severely worn barrels and many faults, a large number of new engineer shovels, special pickaxes, new individual soldier pendants and other accessories, all of which were left at the regiment headquarters by Chen Weiyong under various excuses.
, Lin Xingyan and his company still
After using simple tools in the hands of ordinary people to dig trenches and build fortifications for ten consecutive days, the progress naturally lagged behind other companies equipped with a large number of new tools. Needless to say, Lin Xingyan and his more than a hundred brothers would definitely be dealt with by Chen Weiyong.
.
Before dinner, An Yi asked his old classmate Miyagi about this. Miyagi introduced Lin Yanxing in detail to An Yi. Miyagi also had a process of understanding Lin Xingyan, who was meticulous in training and set an example in everything. Beginning
At that time, due to different affiliations, Miyagi didn't even know that Lin Xingyan was there.
Personally. There was an all-army meeting. The weapons and equipment were backward. The ragged Lin Xingyan and his company actually won the first place in the queue. In the assassination and shooting events, this company used extremely crude weapons.
However, he achieved a good result of third place in the overall score, which made Lin Xingyan famous in Miyagi's heart.
At first, Miyagi thought that with the improvement of the army's equipment, this company with its glorious tradition and honor would definitely receive awards from the top. Unexpectedly, when they met again, the scene they saw was still the same.
The improvement of team conditions made Lin Xingyan's company even more embarrassed. But strangely, this team had high fighting spirit and undiminished morale from beginning to end, which made Miyagi realize how extraordinary Lin Xingyan was.
Seeing Lin Xingyan and his team suffering, Miyagi couldn't bear it. He put down his face twice and discussed with Chen Weiyong to transfer Lin Xingyan to his *** brigade. Chen Weiyong respected Miyagi very much for his hard work and openness.
, and Miyagi usually get along well, and they often support each other, but there is no room for negotiation on the issue of Lin Xingyan.
After listening to Miyagi's introduction, An Yi became more interested and wanted to take this opportunity to see how Pang Bingxun ran the army.
After asking about the cause of the matter, Pang Bingxun's old face was frighteningly dark, especially when he heard that the reason for the grudge between the two parties was that Chen Weiyong and Lin Yanxing jointly pursued a woman, but it was Lin Yanxing who took the beautiful woman back. Therefore, Chen Weiyong's hatred of Lin Yanxing
He makes every possible effort to make things difficult with his words and deeds, hoping to prove that his wife has made a wrong choice.
Under the nervous gaze of the generals in the hall, Pang Bingxun slowly raised his hand and pointed at his brother-in-law like a halberd, while looking at the military judge with a pair of shining tiger eyes:
"Pull this grandson down, beat him twenty times, put him in solitary confinement for five days, remove him from his post, investigate, and expel him from the military!"
The generals were shocked. It was just a twenty-year ban. There was nothing wrong with being imprisoned for five days. However, the punishment of dismissal and investigation seemed a bit too serious. Seriously speaking, although Chen Weiyong was narrow-minded and not outstanding in skills, he was in charge of general affairs.
Soldier training is only average, but the writing skills are still good, especially those with deep qualifications. When fighting, they dare to think and fight, and are never ambiguous. They are quite prestigious among a group of regimental commanders and brigade commanders. If they are kicked out of the military camp just like that
, it is indeed a pity.
So all the generals came forward to plead for mercy. Lin Xingyan, who had long given up hope for his future, was also deeply surprised. The disdain and stubbornness in his eyes turned into deep hesitation.
Pang Bingxun was unmoved and said resolutely: "What else can be said about a scum like this who doesn't care for his subordinates and harms the army for his own selfishness?" After saying that, he stood up suddenly and walked away, leaving the generals in the room pleading for mercy.
The hall was extremely anxious, but no one dared to catch up with Pang Bingxun in his rage.
An Yi nodded slightly at the general who cast a pleading look in the hall, stood up and walked calmly to the back hall, caught up with Pang Bingxun who was walking quickly, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, please calm down, can you listen to my little brother?"
Pang Bingxun sighed and turned around: "Brother, you have also seen it. If I don't take care of my brother-in-law this time, how can I lead the whole army? It would be easier if he was not my brother-in-law.
, with these years of qualifications, there is no credit but hard work, a little bit
Just straighten it out. However, it is precisely because of this relationship that I have to make up my mind, otherwise how can I convince the public? Seeing that the exercise is approaching, everyone in our army is eager to prove themselves through this rare opportunity.
He is worth a lot, but he is good...if he is not dealt with severely, the morale of the military will be shaken!"
An Yi said with a smile: "This is why you are wrong, brother. Before military law, everyone is equal. Just because Captain Chen is your brother-in-law, you cannot double the punishment, right? Although by dealing with Chen Weiyong, the commander-in-chief has been proven
However, doing so is against military law and can easily lead to more conflicts and resentment."
"Thank you for your kindness, brother! My mind has been made up, so I don't need to plead for Chen Weiyong." Pang Bingxun had obviously made up his mind.
An Yi thought for a moment and put away his smile: "Brother, I believe you also know my identity and responsibilities. I have the power and responsibility to supervise the Hebei and Henan armies, especially in terms of military discipline and handling of violations. I have the authority and authority to
The chairman of the committee has given him the privilege of killing first and reporting later, so he can naturally raise objections to the decisions of his predecessors.
"My younger brother believes that the punishment imposed by my elders is too severe, and the bad habit of punishing people with a plank in the military must be abolished. Otherwise, my younger brother will stop my elders' decision and report the truth to the Military Justice Division of the Military Commission."
Pang Bingxun felt hot in his heart, grabbed An Yi's hand and nodded: "Thank you for taking care of me, brother, we will go back and deal with it again."
"Wait a minute!"
An Yi stopped Pang Bingxun and said in a low voice: "My younger brother learned from Miyagi that this Lin Xingyan comes from a martial arts family in southern Shanxi. He is quite accomplished in Xingyiquan Kung Fu. What's even more rare is that this person is versatile in both civil and martial arts."
, is deeply versed in the art of war, leads troops to practice it, and is deeply supported by his officers and soldiers. He has performed well in the northern Henan campaign for more than two years.
"In the past few days, I have also paid attention to his company and found that his brothers in the fifth company are all honest, hard-working and meticulous. Although the construction quality is first-rate, for some reason, the construction progress is always lagging behind other companies. Later, through careful observation
, only to discover that they still used shovels, wooden sticks and other simple tools for construction. Before that, I didn’t know that they lacked professional skills.
Because of the industrial construction equipment, we also plan to transfer a batch of them from Baoding Military Station. Therefore, this person should be promoted and reused. If he is used well, he will not only have the potential to become a fierce general, but also become another capable general in my army.
He and his subordinates will definitely be grateful to my brother for his strict military discipline and his good use of people, and it will also be an inspiration to all the soldiers of the Forty Army."
Pang Bingxun thought for a moment and laughed: "I understand! No wonder the An family army is as united as a wolf and a tiger. I am really talented! Let's go to the lobby right away. I have to deal with it properly."
No one among the noisy generals dared to leave. Chen Weiyong and Lin Xingyan were still standing in the hall, bowing their heads and saying nothing. When they heard the loud announcement from the officer on duty, the whole hall immediately became silent. The generals were so nervous that they held their breath and looked at Su Xuan.
Pang Bingxun and An Yi sat down.
Pang Bingxun glanced around sternly: "After repeated discussions between me and the special commissioner, the decision is as follows: First regiment commander Chen Weiyong will be demoted one level, suspended for inspection, imprisoned for five days, and half a year's military pay will be deducted to make up for the fifth company that was bullied by his power.
Officers and soldiers, political training department
The attitude of pleading guilty will determine whether to use it. Lin Xingyan will not be able to escape the responsibility for the following crimes. He will be recorded one demerit, detained for five days, and his pay will be deducted for three months. This will also be used to compensate the officers and soldiers of the fifth company. When the confinement period expires, Lin Xingyan will be transferred to **
*Lieutenant Colonel of the Second Brigade New Regiment. Meeting dismissed!"
The generals watched in astonishment as Pang Bingxun left again. Seeing that there was no need to stay, An Yi walked out of the hall with a smile and went for a walk with a group of brothers under his command who were watching.
Chen Weiyong wiped off the cold sweat on his head, secretly shouted "good luck", and looked at An Yi with gratitude as he left. All the generals surrounded Chen Weiyong and Lin Xingyan and congratulated loudly. Only Lin Xingyan remained indifferent and unfazed.
politely
After thanking his colleagues, he strode to catch up with the Japanese brigade commander Miyagi who had taken the first step. He was seriously stopped by the military judge before he left the house. He had no choice but to follow the military judge obediently like Chen Weiyong. The five-day confinement was
There is no way to escape.
Miyagi caught up with An Yi and thanked him excitedly. An Yi congratulated Miyagi on getting a strong general and promised to allocate the equipment of an assault regiment to Miyagi after the exercise and let the new regiment leader Lin Xingyan lead his recruits.
train.
Miyagi didn't know about An Yi's kindness. He was so happy that he couldn't talk incoherently. He grabbed An Yi's hand and wouldn't let go. An Yi shook slightly, took his hand out, and said that he didn't have a habit of cutting off his sleeves, which made the brothers around him laugh.
