The officers with a keen sense of smell in the Political Department were indeed extraordinary. From the moment Commander-in-Chief Chiang appointed the Second Division Engineer Battalion to the time the flag was made and delivered to the Engineer Battalion, the entire process took less than three hours.
When Yan Erai, deputy chief of staff and political commissar of the Second Division, accompanied the deputy director of the Military Political Department to the engineering camp to present the flag, An Yi and his brothers had just finished carving up thousands of oceans and were continuing to discuss the division of labor and various specific tasks.
The officers who respectfully sent off their lectures left. An Yi ordered the disbandment and ordered the soldiers to go to bed early. He led the brothers who had all put on new military uniforms and nailed new nameplates on their chests after being promoted to the battalion headquarters where four lanterns were lit to continue.
Have a meeting.
The brothers rejoiced around the bright red battle flag with a blue sky and white sun in the upper left corner. Few paid attention to the six words "First Army, Second Division" arranged up and down near the flagpole, and paid attention to the three golden words "Model Camp" in the flag.
Everyone sighed in admiration, saying that from now on no one from other friendly forces would dare to show off in front of us.
An Yi knocked on the table and asked Warrant Officer Adjutant Dong Yazi to put away the battle flag. He glanced at the brothers who quickly shut up, and discussed a few words with Hu Hu and Yin Jinan who were sitting on the left and right. Yin Jinan took the document and stood up and read out the latest update loudly.
appointment:

The seventh platoon leader:
Warrant Officer Su Tie; 8th Platoon Commander: Sergeant Liao Chengpeng; 9th Platoon Commander: Sergeant Lu Cambridge.
In principle, the soldiers of each company remain unchanged. The newly added 70 brothers who are skilled in operating light and heavy machine guns and artillery join the two machine gun platoons of the police company where Huzi is also the company commander. Sixty-seven people supplement the old 3rd company, and the others
The vacancies in each company will have to wait until the battalion headquarters will select new troops from the division headquarters to replenish them tomorrow afternoon.
After Yin Jinan finished speaking, Hu Hu added coldly: Xia Jian's police clearance platoon still lacks 30 places. A month later, a competition and selection will be held in the entire battalion. Everyone can participate. The specific requirements will be posted outside the battalion department tomorrow morning.
The battalion headquarters of the company with the largest number of candidates except the first company will be awarded 500 gold. If the number of people who win in a row exceeds half of the total number of people, 500 gold will also be awarded. The winning company will decide how to divide the money. We don’t care.
ask.
When the brothers heard this, they all became excited. They all knew that being selected into the police clearance platoon would not only receive special training from three officers, be promoted quickly, and be well fed and used, but also receive an additional monthly allowance equivalent to half of the military salary.
.Even if these are not counted, five hundred oceans is still an eye-watering amount of money! So everyone is thinking about how to train their team well starting tomorrow.
At this point, An Yi's engineering battalion has been upgraded again, with more rigorous organization and clearer division of labor. The police communication company, the first company, as the combat company of the entire battalion, will be responsible for the combat, defense, reconnaissance, vigilance and emergencies of the entire battalion.
Disposal tasks. The second company and the third company are both engineering companies in the actual sense. They will undertake various construction tasks assigned by superiors, camp construction and various infrastructure construction tasks to support the residents. The battalion headquarters division class is responsible for the disabled veterans.
Due to the increase in personnel, the number of personnel was expanded to sixteen, and three of the quotas were increased because the battalion headquarters reduced the number of orderlies for three officers.
During this adjustment and change, the brothers were promoted to one or two levels respectively. Veterans with outstanding performance such as Qian Bojun, Han Yaoxian, and Liao Chengpeng entered the ranks of company and platoon-level officers. A large number of brave, diligent and practical veterans were promoted to sergeants and served as squad leaders. The entire battalion
The officers and soldiers had a completely new look and their morale increased significantly.
An Yi and the three of them had a deep affection for their brothers, and they were rewarded fairly and justly for their merits. Even the dead and injured brothers were cared for and compensated one by one. Those who had families tried their best to send fifty yuan to settle down, while the lonely brothers who had no family were given to Yin Jinan.
It is recorded in the military history of the headquarters, and all brothers are solemnly informed: In the future, monuments will be engraved for all brothers who died, so that future generations will always remember them.
This series of actions made all the officers and soldiers grateful and followed them to the death. Especially after the Luogang disaster and the fierce battle at Tingsi Bridge, the entire battalion of officers and soldiers, like their commanders, underwent a completely different transformation. The brothers carried more than a monthly salary in their arms.
Three times the silver reward, looking at the improved military rank on his chest, the fear of death gradually faded away, and the desire to pursue military glory and rewards rapidly expanded.
At midnight, An Yi and Yin Jinan inspected the barracks and sentry posts of each company as usual. They chatted with the two brothers standing guard at the camp gate and were about to go back to rest when they heard footsteps on the road outside.
The sentry rushed to the side of the road with his machine gun cocked and loaded. An Yi and Yin Jinan also hurriedly followed and looked around. They saw two disheveled soldiers trying to escape. Behind them, a group of men and women civilians dozens of meters away were holding hoes and sticks.
Cursing and chasing after him.
Two soldiers who had fled almost out of strength saw their own people and ran over quickly shouting for help. An Yi ordered the sentry to keep an eye on these two guys, strode forward to meet more than a dozen civilians, raised his hands to signal everyone to stop, and saw clearly the rush.
Almost all the people who stopped a few meters in front of him were young men and women, asking quickly:
"Brothers and sisters, what mistake did these two soldiers make that made you pursue them so closely?"
A middle-aged man in the crowd gasped and asked: "Sir, are you still a revolutionary army? Is it right for your soldiers to run away without paying them after completing their business?"
A group of people echoed the words and cursed one after another. The Hubei curses were spoken loudly and fast, and they were as unpleasant as they wanted to be.
An Yi shook his head in pain, and still asked kindly: "Please don't be angry, please speak slowly, no matter you are right or wrong, you have to let me understand, right? Now, please tell me which one of you, these two soldiers and
What kind of business did you make? How much money do you owe you but you won’t pay back?”
The people on the opposite side lost a lot of their anger when they saw that An Yi was so talkative. A fat woman in her thirties stepped forward, pointed at the two deserters behind An Yi and said angrily:
"These two murderers ate and drank in my mother's Chunfeng Tower. They also pretended to be rich people. They invited four sisters to come to the room to accompany them to drink and do errands. They had a great time.
After many hours, I escaped over the wall without anyone paying attention. I was blinded! We chased from the north of the town to the south of the city and then to the west of the city. We also chased around the railway for another three or four miles before we got here. I was so angry that I wanted to be stabbed.
Chop off the lifeblood of these two bastards and feed them to the dogs!"
An Yi was startled and pointed to the fat woman's waist in disbelief: "Sister, what you said seems wrong? Although I have never been to the north of the town you mentioned, every village and every road within a hundred miles of Xianning City
The roads are all marked on my map. It is at least six miles from the north of the town to the south of the city, and then at least three miles from the south of the city to the railway in the west of the city. It is at least four miles to go around the railway and then to the gate of my camp, plus
It’s at least thirteen miles to get up, and I’m afraid I can’t run that far with my eldest sister’s physique, right?”
"Isn't it? At least fourteen or five miles away, five or six groups of us chased and intercepted each other. After more than a hundred people chased us here, only a dozen of us were able to run. If our eldest sister hadn't expected that these two would be beaten.
The knifeman may have run south and took us sisters in a foreign car to block the intersection in advance. Where can we see the shadows of these two beasts?"
A well-proportioned and beautiful woman next to the fat woman stared in anger after speaking.
An Yi turned around in surprise and looked at the two cowards squatting under the guns of the sentry. After thinking about it, he turned to the crowd and called out to the fat woman:
"I'm sorry for you, eldest sister. I'm sorry for having so many brothers and sisters. It's really hard for you to chase me for such a long distance! Well, eldest sister, please tell me how much money should be paid to these two naughty soldiers.
Is it appropriate? Brother, I still have some money left on me, so I can pay it off for them... What? Not willing? In this case, I don’t care, you can go up and give them a good beating, but brothers, I kindly remind you.
Come on, don't cripple them, otherwise the charge of assaulting a revolutionary soldier will be uncomfortable, and you might have your house ransacked! If you feel you can't forgive your hatred, just take these two people to the revolutionary army headquarters in the east of the city, and ask the people there
The generals are asking for an explanation, haha! Sorry, it’s late at night, brother, I fought all night last night, and I’ve been tired for another day today, so I have to go to bed anyway, haha..."
After An Yi finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the camp gate. Yin Jinan and the two sentries also retreated with secret smiles.
When the two coward soldiers saw this, they were so scared that they lost their minds. They thought that if they were really caught and beaten, they would be sent to the headquarters. With the strict military laws of the Revolutionary Army, it would be strange if those ferocious military police didn't cut them alive. They ran all the way for nothing.
No matter what, I was afraid that my life would come to an end! So I scrambled to catch up with An Yi and begged my superiors to save my life, even if I had to do anything in this life, I would accept it.
A group of chasing people quickly surrounded the two unlucky guys. Although they were furious, they did not dare to fight. They were afraid that An Yi would trick him and send troops to arrest him as soon as he made a move. If he was caught, he would have to spend a lot of money to redeem himself.
come out.
The shrewd fat woman thought quickly and hurriedly caught up with An Yi. She leaned toward An Yi tiredly and shouted:
"Sir, please slow down. I will listen to you. Spare these two bastards. Just like what the sir just said, just get some of your capital back... The sir is young and looks so handsome and majestic. He must be
They come from a wealthy family, and it’s not easy for us sisters in comparison! They all come from poor families, and they work hard and rely on their own strength to start a small business to support their families. If you have a little capital and meet better years,
Jing, how can we, the helpless women, be willing to chase two oceans for more than ten miles?"
An Yi was horrified, thinking that for the sake of two oceans, the hundreds of people who ran the kiln were willing to surround them with hoes and sticks, and chased them for more than ten miles with great fanfare. Even when they got here, they refused to let go.
, I can only say that this perseverance and perseverance is amazing!
But after thinking about it, An Yi still pretended to be reluctant, put his hand into his pocket, and took out two oceans after taking it out for a long time: "In this case, I will listen to the eldest sister, thank you eldest sister for your generosity and mercy!
It's late at night, brothers and sisters, please go back. The moon is not full tonight, and it is difficult to walk such a long way. Don't worry, I will teach these two naughty guys a lesson."
The fat woman took the two oceans, smiled gratefully at An Yi and turned to leave. When she passed by the two naughty soldiers, she even said "poof" shamelessly, cursing and saying how could such sluts deserve such a good officer to do it for them?
Pay?
When the group of people holding hoes and sticks saw the fat woman getting the money, they all cursed and followed her. After a few steps, the handsome woman excitedly said to the fat woman:
If it were the handsome commander just now, I would be willing to serve him without paying a penny.
The fat woman slapped her and said angrily: Stop dreaming about your Dream of Red Mansions. If that handsome officer is willing, I would rather pay him to serve him.
The conversation between the two slutty women could be clearly heard within a radius of fifty meters in the quiet night, causing everyone nearby to burst into laughter.
An Yi listened clearly but had nothing to do. He glanced at the two shivering soldiers, turned to the sentry and ordered angrily:
"No matter which part it is, if it falls into my hands, it will be difficult to deal with it, not to mention it will cost me two oceans to take it back and I will be sent to court overnight!"
