At night, with Commander-in-Chief Chiang's secret message in his arms, An Yi walked through the Fourth Regiment's position and came to the Second Battalion defense area in the name of inspection. He discussed with the battalion commander Ye Cheng and battalion deputy Yang Fei for a while. Yang Fei immediately went to arrange the defense.
After arranging the security arrangements for the reception, Ye Cheng followed An Yi to sit under a larger bunker at the front of the position, quietly waiting for Yang Shijun's arrival.
Due to a sudden combat meeting, it was not until 10:20 in the night that Yang Shijun quietly arrived at the agreed location under the escort of two personal guards. Under the guidance of Shen Fengdao, he crossed the position and entered the wide trench, and passed through the 80-meter traffic trench.
Come to An Yi.
The dim light of the lantern allowed Yang Shijun, who had good eyesight, to see An Yi's handsome smiling face clearly. After being slightly surprised, he nodded calmly and sat on the ammunition box at An Yi's polite greeting.
"I didn't expect Captain An to be so young. It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!" Yang Shijun said politely.
An Yi had a respectful smile on his face: "I'm sorry, senior. Our Division Commander Liu Zhi and Chief of Staff Xu need to attend an emergency meeting convened by the former enemy commander-in-chief General Bai Chongxi, and entrust the junior to apologize to you! And grant the junior to discuss with the senior.
Regarding authority over related matters, this is a personal letter from Master Liu Zhi to his seniors."
Yang Shijun took the letter and opened it. Ye Cheng had taken off the lantern from the ceiling hook to light it for him. Yang Shijun nodded with satisfaction after reading the letter:
"Commander An and Commander Liu are also quick people. They candidly tell you the secret of your army launching an attack across the board at dawn tomorrow. Yang is deeply grateful! I don't know why Captain An's position is not prepared for an attack?"
"Senior, my subordinates are always ready and can start a war with just one order." An Yi's smile was still so sincere.
Yang Shijun looked at An Yi quietly, smiled and nodded slowly: "Yes, the 'Model Battalion' that even our Zhaoshuai praised is naturally a well-trained elite. Yang was defeated twice by Captain An."
hand, once again watching helplessly General Situ's entire four thousand people
The mixed brigade was easily surrounded and annihilated by Commander An. Naturally, I believe that Commander An has this ability! Time is precious, and I would like to hear Commander An’s opinion. What will be the status of our army after joining Yi? Our current officers and soldiers and
How will the equipment, property, etc. be disposed of?"
An Yi took out Commander-in-Chief Chiang's message and handed it over with both hands: "Senior, please read it before we discuss it."
Yang Shijun frowned slightly, hesitating a little and slowly took the neatly folded message and opened it, looking at his old face stretched, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed:
"Commander-in-Chief Chiang is really magnanimous! Not only did he remember Sangzi's feelings, but he also encouraged and comforted him generously and generously gave Yang the high position of commander of the independent division, and promised that the headquarters would remain unchanged and only need to send more than ten political instructors.
But, this shows the deep affection in it! It’s just that... Yang has been in the army for twenty years, even though he has made no achievements.
He said that he had gone through wars and vicissitudes, and was exhausted and suffered from this series of setbacks. He no longer wanted to be in the military. He just wanted to disband and return to his fields and move north to Shanghai to live the rest of his life, entertain his wife and children, and enjoy a peaceful family... Captain An, please believe Yang.
Frankly speaking, Yang has made up his mind and will not change his mind. Please also apologize to Commander-in-Chief Chiang and Commander Liu Zhi on my behalf."
"Senior, you are only in your early forties, and you are in your glorious years as a soldier. It is a pity to say goodbye so lightly! In my humble opinion, I am afraid that there will be few years of peace in this troubled world. If you are tired, senior, you can stay at home and rest in peace. When will you come back?
Let seniors do whatever they like, so you have more choices!"
An Yi really didn't want to see such a professional soldier in his prime retire from the military so sadly.
Yang Shijun smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Captain An, Yang can see that you have a sincere heart, which is very rare in today's absurd and troubled times! Thank you for your kindness. Tell me, young man, how do you want to receive it? My 3,500 troops?”
"Senior's orders." An Yi kicked the ball back.
Yang Shijun was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "He is indeed a superman with a superhuman mind! Well, it's a very important matter, and I want to discuss it in detail with Captain An alone."
"Senior, the two of you around this junior are good brothers who share life and death. This junior has no secrets that you need to hide from your brothers. Likewise, they will abide by the secrets just like the junior and will never do anything that would be sorry for your senior. Senior, please be at ease. !”
An Yi's words were sincere and candid, which moved Shen Fengdao and Ye Cheng behind him. Ye Cheng's hand holding the lantern trembled slightly when he heard the words, and it was obvious that the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable.
Yang Shijun nodded to An Yi very appreciatively: "In this case, if Yang keeps beating around the bush, he will be demoted! The officers and soldiers of Yang's unit are all children of Zhejiang who have followed him for many years. Most of them still need to make a living by serving as soldiers, and most of them are young. The captains are also in confusion and don't know where to go. After repeated failures, their morale is completely lost. Yang also has a way to deal with a handful of people. It can be said that your department has no difficulty in receiving them. All it takes is to ask everyone The morale of the army can be stabilized if the officers and soldiers of the ministry make a verbal promise to treat them equally with the revolutionary officers and soldiers. Yang has only one rather selfish request, and I hope you will fulfill it."
"Senior, please speak." An Yi straightened his body and faced him seriously.
Yang Shijun said with a smile: "Please allow Yang's two long-term colleagues and twelve personal guards to disarm and return to their fields together with Yang. This will ensure that the meager savings of Yang and his brothers are not infringed. That's all. I have nothing else to ask for."
An Yi solemnly promised: "The junior will guarantee with his life that the senior's personal entourage and property will not be infringed upon in any way! Moreover, the junior suggested that the senior detour from the area controlled by our army and take our army's vehicle to transport supplies into Jiangxi to bypass. A company of brothers accompanied us and escorted us through Yushan to Nanchang, and then took a boat from Jiujiang to Shanghai. Otherwise, there will be a battle in central and southern Zhejiang tomorrow. If the seniors make a mistake, the integrity of the juniors will be destroyed in one day. We no longer have the nerve to accept the righteous soldiers from all armies!"
Yang Shijun was greatly moved. His family had left Jinhua safely and was rushing to Ningbo overnight. They would board a ship from Ningbo and arrive in Shanghai to enter the French Concession tomorrow. They would escape possible revenge and frame-up in one fell swoop and live peacefully from now on. Yang Shijun's only concern was that After surrendering, his own safety, as well as the more than 200,000 yuan of wealth collected along the way, his escape route was completely blocked during the war, and he could only make a big detour to the south or west to get out of the predicament. At this moment, An Yi could think of something for him. How could Yang Shijun not be extremely grateful for such thoughtfulness, and the promise to send guards to escort the whole journey, such a frank and trustworthy mind, and such prudent and thoughtful measures?
"Okay, okay! In this case, Yang should also join Li Baotao."
Yang Shijun took a deep breath and leaned towards An Yi: "If Commander An is willing, he can lead his troops to quietly enter our defense area and encircle and annihilate the two regiments in front of Zhou who guard our right-wing position from the southeast. To the north is To the west of Qujiang is the Guibu position. The two regiments cannot escape. With the strong combat power of Captain An, they will be able to easily capture it with lightning speed. Yang also revealed his personal identity to Captain An. Secretly, the two regiments on the right wing of our department have long been unwilling to fight. Although they replenished a large number of weapons and ammunition this afternoon, and like the three regiments under our department, each regiment received a reward of 50,000 oceans and a hundred pounds of opium and smoke. Motivated, but no one is willing to fight anymore when their lives are at risk. If it were not for the independent regiment led by Zhou Qian's personal guards and a battalion of law enforcement brigade pressing behind him, and the only passage was occupied by our troops, I am afraid that these two regiments would There are already constant desertions."
An Yi was overjoyed and stood up excitedly and held Yang Shijun's hand:
"Thank you, senior, for your help. I am deeply grateful! If senior can trust me, how about I put on your military uniform and lead two or three companies of brothers to go back with my senior?"
Yang Shijun was shocked. He didn't expect An Yi to be so decisive. Seeing An Yi's shining expectant eyes, he pondered for a moment and readily agreed: "Okay! Please make arrangements quickly, Captain An. The sooner the night is long and the dream is long, the better."
An Yi turned around and whispered a few words to Shen Fengdao, who nodded and turned to leave.
Ye Cheng, who was astute, had already ordered his subordinates to pull over the telephone line and ordered the communications troops to connect to the former enemy headquarters in Quzhou City. After several transfers, he finally got through to Liu Zhi who was in a meeting.
When Liu Zhi heard this, he was overjoyed and told An Yi to wait and ask Bai Chongxi for instructions immediately. Bai Chongxi was so surprised that he hit the table with his palm in excitement and decisively ordered Liu Zhi to do it cheaply. Liu Zhi immediately gave An Yi a permission order and promised to rush immediately. Return to the Anren Town Division Headquarters and fully mobilize troops and generals for the operations of the Anyi Independent Regiment and provide support.
After obtaining the agreement, An Yi, under the watchful eyes of Yang Shijun and his two confidants, issued orders in an unquestionable tone to Yang Bin and Chen Zhibiao on the north bank, Yin Jinan at the regiment headquarters, and Hu Hu at the model camp position. The methodical overall layout, a series of tactics that included defense during attack, and meticulous and precise calculations convinced Yang Shijun and two of his confidants on the side, and they had to sigh with regret that Lian Po was so old!
In less than half an hour, Ding Zhicheng, Gu Changfeng, and the acting company commander of the regiment's machine gun company, Liao Minlin, led 600 brothers who had changed into the khaki military uniforms of the Zhejiang Army and drove to the second battalion position in full force. They lined up in an orderly manner in the wide trench and shouted. No wait command is issued.
An Yi took the Zhejiang Army jacket from Huzi and quickly put it on. Under the escort of thirty-six elites from Shen Fengdao and Ding Zhicheng, he walked eastward side by side with Yang Shijun. Gu Changfeng, Xia Jian and Liao Minlin led three elite companies to follow quietly. Walking through the frost and dew in the vast cold night, we marched towards the enemy's position.
An hour later, a thousand soldiers who had just taken off their Zhejiang Army uniforms and put on Revolutionary Army uniforms had no time to brainwash them. They were divided into four parts in the open area to the west of Longyou City. Various long guns with bullets were taken away by the third-level deputies of the regiment's logistics, model battalion, first and second battalions.
Yin Jinan, Ye Cheng, Yang Fei and others finally realized the benefits of An Yi's insistence on setting up deputy platoon leaders and deputy squad leaders. These grassroots backbones with strong will and tough style quickly took away their own soldiers without any hesitation. Hesitantly marched into each unit's position, checked each person's gun model one by one, issued bullets of the same standard, and issued five hand grenades to each person who could not use them, and then concentrated on the spot in the trenches for pre-war mobilization to replace the enemy who was about to rush. The veterans in the field stood firm in case of sudden changes.
At four o'clock in the morning, the officers and soldiers of Yang Shijun's two regiments began to flow into the defense area of the 4th Regiment on the south bank position. They were immediately led by the logistics troops of the 4th Regiment, the 3rd Battalion of the 6th Regiment, and officers and soldiers from various divisional units who had been waiting on the position to take a rest in the rear. Waiting for dawn to accept the adaptation.
Accompanied by An Yi personally, Yang Shijun led his two close assistants and twelve bodyguards and rode into the Zhan family ancestral hall where the independent regiment headquarters was located in the north of the city. Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him enthusiastically and exchanged a few words. Welcome into the house and wait for tea.
After chatting with the bosses and Yang Shijun for a while, An Yi glanced at the watch on his wrist, walked to the phone and whispered a few words to the communications staff officer. The young staff officer immediately got busy and quickly connected to the model camp position. An Yi took the microphone and gave the beard an action order.
An encirclement and disarmament battle triggered by unexpected fighter planes flying from the sky quietly started at dawn. The officers and soldiers of Yang Shijun's elite regiment, who were successfully mobilized by An Yi to participate in the battle, led Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian's troops to Mobile sentries or patrol teams were formed and successfully subdued the sentries on the periphery of the right-wing position. Two groups of brothers led by Shen Fengdao and Ding Zhicheng, led by Fuyi officers, easily entered the two regiments of Zhou Qian's division behind the right-wing position. At the headquarters, the regiment's machine gun company, which had been temporarily strengthened by a hundred veterans, had already detoured to the rear of the enemy's lines and quietly set up more than fifty light machine guns to block the enemy's retreat.
