Chapter 375: Eating from the bowl and staring at the pot
Hu Zongduo's 19th Army, Xia Wei's 7th Army, Ye Kaixin's 44th Army, Chen Tiaoyuan's 37th Army and Cheng Qian's 6th Army under Li Zongren quickly advanced along both sides of the Yangtze River and defeated Tang Shengzhi's troops with a fierce offensive.
, He Jian's 35th Army and Liu Xing's 36th Army were forced to withdraw from eastern Hubei and occupied the area on November 4th.
Leading the front lines of Huangmei, Guangji, Longping and Yong'an, the important towns in eastern Hubei. On the same day, Li Zongren issued a military commission order to reaffirm the commander-in-chief of Cheng Qian's Fourth Route Army and the commander-in-chief of Zhu Peide's Fifth Route Army. Li Zongren left Nanjing the next day on the pretext that
Went to the front line for inspection and held secret talks with Zhu Peide at Hukou.
On November 8, Zhu Peide, feeling that his strength was rapidly improving and gradually winning the right to speak, continued his efforts and grandly announced the establishment of the "Jiangxi Provincial Security Command" aimed at maintaining local security and rectifying local order, and temporarily acting as commander-in-chief.
job.
At noon on the same day, the Central Jiangxi Security Command was established in Nanchang County, and Yang Bin was appointed as the Major General Commander of the Central Jiangxi Command, Xia Jian as the Major General's deputy commander, and Zhan Huanqi as the Major General's chief of staff. Administratively, the Central Jiangxi Security Command is directly subordinate to Zhu Peide's general manager.
It is led by the headquarters, with an establishment of 8,000 officers and soldiers, and is a division-level unit. Its jurisdiction includes fifteen counties from Yingtan in the east to Yichun in the west, and from Lao Nanchang in the north to Chongren in the south.
The next day, three regiments under the newly established Central Jiangxi Security Command were stationed in Gao'an, Dongxiang, and Linchuan counties. They were connected with the Fengcheng Security Regiment to guard the east, south, and west sides of Nanchang in a half-moon shape.
It greatly made up for the shortcomings of the Third Army's insufficient and scattered troops, strengthened the mutual communication and mutual support between the garrison troops in various counties, and from then on firmly controlled the entire Poyang Lake Plain.
Zhou Chongan is indeed a shrewd, knowledgeable and discerning economic wizard. After three days of arduous negotiations, four commercial banks from Germany, Belgium, the United States and the United Kingdom reached an agreement with Jiangnan Group. Jiangnan Group will provide the Hukou Terminal site. The four major commercial banks from each country jointly
Invest to jointly expand a mineral and trade transfer terminal with an annual throughput of 1.8 million tons based on the existing coal mine terminal at Hukou, where Poyang Lake connects to the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan Group, which provides land, safety guarantees and raw material transportation from origin, holds 30% of the shares. Germany's Lulin Bank holds 25% of the shares with investments in cranes, grabs and loading and conveying equipment. The other three major banks hold 25% of the shares.
Capital investment accounted for 15% of the shares each, and the only modern large-scale professional loading terminal in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River immediately entered a busy period of construction while using it. The tungsten ore trade, which had been stagnant for two months, saw a price increase of 32%.
Restore on the basis of.
On November 9, Jiangnan Group ordered two 500-ton transport ships, two 300-ton cargo ships, and three 250-ton cargo ships worth 460,000 from Germany and Belgium, fully loaded with machinery and equipment.
Weapons spare parts and raw materials enter Poyang Lake and go directly to Changbei Wharf and Lao Nanchang
At the dock, more than 50 German, Czech, Belgian, and Swedish ordnance engineers, mechanical engineers, ship engineers and technicians who came with the ship will stay in Old Nanchang and begin to fulfill the agreement they signed with the German Lulin Company and the China Jiangnan Group.
Four-year work contract.
With the full dedication of professionals such as Lao Shoudao, Zhou Chongan, Le Cheng, and Zhang Xi, An Yi was finally able to turn most of his energy to the urgent military construction.
The special brigade led by Ding Zhicheng, Zong Xingzhen, and Li Fulin has returned to its original full strength of 360 people and is conducting arduous training day and night. Eight teams have been dispatched to various parts of Jiangxi and eastern Hubei to draw maps.
Reconnaissance
Based on the distribution of military strength, the 150 newly joined elites headed to the inaccessible mountains in northwest Jiangxi to carry out rigorous elimination training; Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng took over Yang Bin's responsibilities and were responsible for the training of new recruits at the non-commissioned officer training base.
And to the people stationed in Zhu
Three hundred instructors from the Education Department manage it; thirty-five selected young and promising students who are full of the spirit of serving the country have taken the lead in entering the medical school that has not completed enrollment after a month of military training, following Deputy Kruse
The dean and eight medical teachers began professional studies in basic medicine and other subjects. The five-person translation team headed by Zhang Xi's wife Sharapova temporarily served as staff of the medical school. With the assistance of Kruse and others, they translated various
Professional information, responsible for the daily management of this group of students.
An Yi's time passed very tightly. In addition to slowly expanding the army, inspecting recruit training, appointing officers, and being responsible for the construction of teaching teams and many other matters, he also had to respond to Zhu Peide's call from time to time and rush to Nanchang to hold various secret meetings to discuss the current situation.
points in game
Analyze and discuss, negotiate and coordinate common economic and political interests, repeatedly analyze the raging peasant uprisings in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian and Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei and the rapid expansion of the Red Army, discuss countermeasures, and formulate various plans and emergency plans.
What is gratifying is that Zhu Peide is not willing to abide by the cleanup orders issued by the Nanjing Special Committee and the Wuhan Political Branch. He has always adopted a passive wait-and-see attitude, and is not willing to waste his own manpower, material and financial resources while making enemies on all sides. An Yi, on the other hand, adopts a policy of mutual respect.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and hit it off. Things that were very difficult for others were very easy for them. On the contrary, the ongoing Ninghan War was a waste of time.
They have more energy.
Zhu Peide collected relatively complete battle reports, and had a clear understanding of every battle that had just ended in the Ninghan War. An Yi got the detailed information from him, returned to the old Nanchang base, and gathered his brothers to look at the map and sand table
Start a discussion and try to summarize Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi’s combat ideas and
Military usage habits are then compared with various original data, and offensive and defensive training is carried out through simulation and group deduction. This can not only enrich the self-enrichment of senior officers such as Hu Jialin and Yang Bin, but also enable Guo Sizheng, Huang Hanqian, Qi Xiuping, Wang Xulun, etc.
Zhang Hao and his group of mid-level officers broadened their horizons and got opportunities for training.
In the past few days, in addition to meetings and receptions and banquets, An Yi kept writing every night. Since Yin Jinan was still at his father-in-law's house in Chizhou, Anhui Province, Ye Cheng, Qu Muchen and Yang Fei, three talented writers with both wisdom and courage, were studying in Germany.
Yi and Zhan Huanqi had to take on the "Engineer and Soldiers Drill Code"
, "Basic Military Course for Non-commissioned Officers", "Tactical Coordination of Army Infantry, Artillery and Engineer Arms", "Infantry Basic Training Course", "Infantry Shooting Training Course", "Infantry Division Combat Training and Housekeeping Regulations", "Mountain Training and Operations"
The final improvement and proofreading work of textbooks such as "Preliminary Study".
According to the original plan, this series of teaching materials for recruits, non-commissioned officer schools and internal officer training classes must be printed in volumes before the 25th of this month, and together with the basic knowledge selected from various subjects of Whampoa Military Academy, compiled into
Seeing that the deadline for the more systematic military textbooks was approaching, An Yi had to hurry up. Knowing that most of the textbooks would not be printed as scheduled, he still took the time and did not dare to delay any more.
The secret intelligence network in charge of Lao Shoudao is operating normally. Fixed intelligence stations have been established in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Anqing, Changsha and other places. They usually use the product sales agency rights of Jiangnan Group's factories to enter various places.
The "Jiangxi Guild Hall" in big cities occupies a place in the guild hall through generous profit sharing and cooperative development. In the absence of "Jiangxi Guild Hall"
They sent people to buy houses and set up establishments in the places where "guild halls" were located, and slowly took root with novel and in-demand commodities and flexible business methods. Then they established intelligence stations and started various intelligence collection work. What is currently lacking are radio stations and
The technicians, Zhan Huanqi and others are responsible for training the call reception and reception personnel for two months, and they will be able to quietly go out for training in another month.
The Nanjing office in charge of Chen Yu is progressing smoothly and has achieved remarkable results. Thanks to Gong Qian's help and familiarity with the logistics personnel of the First Army divisions staying in Nanjing, pieces of extremely valuable intelligence are flowing in:
Li Zongren had already squeezed He Yaozu's Forty Army out of Nanjing and sent Bai Chongxi's Second Route Army to fight across the river. Only half of Gu Zhenglun's division was symbolically left to take charge of the garrison of the capital. Li Zongren's deputy commander of the Seventh Army, Zhong Zupei, led a
Shi Jin
Stationed in Nanjing, exercising guard power; Zhang Zuolin saw that the Nanjing and Wuhan troops were killing each other and could not move northward in a short time. He immediately stopped secret negotiations with Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, and commanded the army to launch a violent attack on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Datong and Wutai.
A fierce attack forced Yan Xishan to retreat step by step. At the same time, he captured Shijiazhuang and Jingxing lines in the south, approaching Niangziguan. At the same time, Zhang Xueliang also launched an attack on Feng Yuxiang, who was purging internal traitors. Feng Yuxiang was so anxious that he shouted to Li
Zongren, Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin rushed to the Northern Expedition and sent telegrams to Nanjing every three days to urge the army to go north. Yan Xishan, who was under pressure, also called on Li Zongren and Tang Shengzhi to put the party and the country's cause first, turn the war into jade and join hands to go north to attack Feng's army.
Li Zongren, who was determined to win Wuhan and Hubei as a whole, was fighting Tang Shengzhi at a critical moment. Where could he mobilize a large army? So he persuaded He Yingqin to command the armies that had crossed the river to immediately launch an attack to the north. First, he could appease Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, and secondly,
In the future, people all over the country can see the revolutionary feats of the Nanjing Special Committee and the firm determination of the Northern Expedition.
He Yingqin understood this and immediately issued a general attack order. The Liu Zhi Department of the First Army and the Gu Zhu Department of the Ninth Army were both responsible for the frontal offensive on the Jinpu line. He ordered the He Yao Group of the 40th Army sent by Bai Chongxi to form the new No. 4
Xia Douyin of the Tenth Army attacked the enemy in Dingyuan in the middle, and Zhang Keyao of the Thirty-third Army attacked Shouzhou on the left.
Liu Zhi's First Army had been resting for less than two months and had just recruited 5,000 new recruits from Old Nanchang who had been trained for less than a month and a half. These 5,000 new recruits were recruited by An Yi because of his elder brother Jiang Dingwen's two telegrams to urge him.
In the past, An Yi was really annoyed when he was dragged into the battlefield before he had acclimatized to the front line.
On October 10, Chen Yu in Nanjing sent an urgent report: Gu Zhutong's 9th Division defeated the enemy Li Baozhang Division, occupied Mingguang County, and successfully cut off the southern section of Jinpu Road.
After a while, Zhu Peide also called and told An Yi: Xia Wei's Seventh Army defeated He Jian's Thirty-fifth Army and occupied Qishui, Hu Zongduo's Nineteenth Army occupied Qichun, Ye Kaixin's Forty-fourth Army occupied Tianjia Town, and Cheng on the south bank.
The latent Sixth Army captured Banbi Mountain and took advantage of the victory to rush towards Yangxin.
Just as An Yi stood up and walked towards the map, Zhan Huanqi came quickly again and handed over an urgent telegram. He Jing reported that Chiang Kai-shek had returned to Shanghai from Japan yesterday. As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he immediately called Wang Jingwei and Li Jishen in Guangzhou to ask them to
People rushed to Shanghai as soon as possible to discuss the resolution of intra-party disputes and spread the word that they would restore the Central Party Headquarters.
He Jing asked An Yi for help so that he could interview Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible, come up with exclusive news, and continue to expand the influence of Oriental News Agency.
An Yi immediately put everything aside, dictated the message, and asked He Jing to go to the Central Club, also located in the French Concession, to find Chen Lifu for help. He took the message from Zhan Huanqi and signed it, then sat on a chair and stared out the window blankly.
