On the evening of the next day, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division who had finished their meal on the simple platform of Wande Station silently packed their bags again and prepared to board the train heading south to return to Yanzhou Camp.
Chief of Staff Li Guang glanced at his watch, glanced hesitantly at the setting sun hanging in the western sky, and whispered that Jiao Guangxu was still missing at this time and probably wouldn't come. Hu Jialin shook his head and said with a nonchalant smile, Qi Lu
The man would not fail to show his loyalty, and he would be arriving soon. Gu Changfeng speculated that something might have delayed him.
A few people were still chatting when Zhao Zhongqing, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment, who was responsible for the peripheral security mission, came over and reported: "Reporting to the division seat, a group of cavalry was spotted three kilometers northwest of the army approaching quickly. The number is about five or six hundred. The second battalion has been deployed.
Prepare for attack."
"Haha! It must be Jiao Guangxu's grandson who went to Pingyin to gather the defeated army. That guy looked like he was obsessed with face. I felt uncomfortable without giving him a meeting gift. Moreover, he was originally a battalion commander, so he couldn't do it when he arrived in our independent division.
Let’s start from the squad leader position again? This grandson’s party temperament is pretty good!” Gu Changfeng clapped his hands and laughed.
"Continue to maintain the alert formation, and no shots are allowed without orders!"
An Yi waved away the second battalion commander and told the guards to bring the horses. Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng also walked off the platform, got on their horses, and rushed to the northwest with An Yi from the crossing next to the waiting room.
.
Dust and smoke were flying on the dirt road northwest of the town. Jiao Guangxu, who was leading the way, saw the banner of the Independent Division in the distance. He loudly ordered the cavalry to slow down and led two of his former subordinates to gallop forward. He dismounted from his horse twenty meters away and ran to salute in front of An Yi.
: "General An, I'm not late, am I?"
An Yi secretly admired Jiao Guangxu's superb riding skills, smiled and pointed to the setting sun on the mountain top to the west, which was still sending out its afterglow: "It's not late, the sun has not set yet, you came at the right time... Who are these two heroes?"
Jiao Guangxu quickly introduced his two old company commanders to An Yi, Hu Jialin and others. The two company commanders were respectful and fearful. It was only then that they believed that they had really joined the world-famous An Yi.
Five hundred and sixty cavalrymen in dirty clothes stared blankly at An Yi and others.
After a moment of greetings, the large group of people passed through the town and came to the edge of the platform. Lu Guang immediately issued an order: all units should stay where they are, and the cavalry should lead the horses first.
Five hundred and sixty cavalrymen covered in dust and sweat failed to take a sip of water. Amid the shouts of Jiao Guangxu and his two deputies, they muddleheadedly led their horses onto the eight-section gondola. After the men got out and closed the door, they were beaten again.
He yelled to get on the three tank trucks in front.
Pi, after a while, the 13-kilometer train rumbled southward with the sound of the whistle. In the morning, I drank a bowl of porridge hastily and set off from Tiantang Mountain in Pingyin County. After driving more than fifty kilometers, the surrendered officers and soldiers were half dead from exhaustion.
Only then did I remember asking where this was headed?
An Yi sent a telegram to Tai'an headquarters requesting train shunting, and then he and Gu Changfeng led all divisions in the division to board the train first and set off. Hu Jialin and Lu Guang led the main force to stay at Wande Station and continued to wait patiently.
According to the order of Liu Zhi, commander of the First Group Army, the Tai'an Railway Station is moving a 15-car train to Wande. It is estimated that it will arrive in one hour and twenty minutes.
In the carriage going south, Jiao Guangxu and his two deputies chatted happily with An Yi and others. Jiao Guangxu made a detailed report on how he rushed to Yinping overnight to bring out the brothers who had been scattered and hid in the mountains. An Yi took out his cigarettes.
Distributed in a circle and asked the two strong cavalry company commanders on the side why they did not join General Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. The two company commanders shook their heads in unison.
Didn't General An see that both Generals Fan Zhongxiu and Li Yunlong rebelled? The one who said that even General Fang Zhenwu, a man with such a good temper, would leave the Northwest Army and join the command of Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek, let alone us, the former sworn enemies of the Northwest Army? Jiao Guangxu added
General Feng Huanzhang was panicking because he had not finished his meal, which immediately made An Yi, Gu Changfeng and the brothers around him laugh.
An hour passed, and the train stopped slowly at Tai'an Station. More than a dozen generals including Jiang Dingwen, Xu Tingyao, Hu Zongnan, etc. gathered the station to welcome Anyi, and the big cakes and meat porridge were already prepared on the platform. Jiao Guangxu was in Luo Lei, Huang Zhi, Huang Zhi
Accompanied by someone, he took two deputy to instructed more than 500 brothers to get out of the car for dining and fill up his stomach. An Yi took Gu Changfeng to welcome Jiang Dingwen to worship, and thanked him with a smile.
Hu Zongnan pointed to the open car full of war horses and more than 500 vitamin cavalry wearing the Lujun military uniform, and asked curiously: "Look at the number of people and the eight -section car horses, I am afraid there must be a cantilewood cavalry?
"?"
"Those who voted sincerity are all tough guys who are unwilling to be compiled by the Northwest Army. If the younger brother missed, these brothers may go up the mountain and go to the grass as bandits. They happened to see the younger brother's team pass by and they joined.
Five and sixty people are almost the number of two dispersed cavalry camps gathered together. "An Yi answered proudly.
Jiang Dingwen nodded again and again, sighing: "It can be seen that this person's good reputation is valuable! Brother Fool also withdrew from Jinan.
The earnings are big, and the whole training is my first cavalry regiment in Huangpu. "
Xu Tingyao also said envy: "A few days ago, the independent teacher taught the team to go south of Luzhou, and also installed a full four -section of the war horses, and nearly 4,000 voya veterans.
Soldiers and materials, after this guy goes back, he can have one more merger.
The crowd laughed for a while, and she praised Anyi soldiers strong and strong, expanding the day to be on the daytime, and then exchanged opinions on the current war situation and Jinan negotiations.
Half an hour quickly passed. An Yi quietly entrusted Jiang Dingwen to ask the principal, and thanked a group of teachers and friends to say goodbye, boarded the train to continue south, and arrived at Luzhou Station at 7 am the next day.
Division camp, then began to compile and train tensions.
This time, An Yi, who had a stomachache, ignored any request for him to divide his troops.
I went back, and the wording of the callback was very stiff and severe.
I have never seen the Ministry of Military and Political Ministry of the Military and Political Department, and the chiefs of the Staff Department are unwilling to find the report of Commander Jiang together.
Chiang Kai -shek, who was guilty of An Yi in his heart, solved the problem in a word: Since the Northern Expedition, the preparation of the independent division has not had a clear limit.
Do soldiers and weapons and equipment, did they have no ability to get back like An Yi?
Five days of time passed out, all put on new weapons and camouflage military uniforms, more than 17,000 independent division officers and soldiers wearing new thick sole shoes and wearing steel helmets to complete the expansion work. The emotions of officers and soldiers gradually stabilized.
The training stage.
At two pm on the 18th, An Yi, who was watching the third round of competitions in the camp, suddenly received the headquarters: Commander Jiang will take a special list to Luzhou Station at 3:20 pm.
An Yi was surprised and immediately ordered Gu Changfeng, Li Fuqiang and others to continue hosting the competition, and ordered the secret service battalion and special forces brigade to launch tight vigilance throughout the city. After all preparations were completed, he led Hu Jialin and other generals to rush to the east station of the city to greet him.
, the generals in the left-behind office of the headquarters also heard the news and rushed to the station to stand and wait.
At 3:25, the special train slowly pulled into the station. Commander-in-Chief Chiang walked out of the car surrounded by his attendants and came to An Yi, who had an extremely clean shaven face and was saluting upright. He looked at it carefully for a few seconds before nodding.
The head whispered: "The spirit looks good, not as sluggish as I imagined."
"Principal, students should keep in mind the principal's teachings and always maintain the revolutionary nature of our Huangpu soldiers." An Yi put down his hand and replied with a smile, causing a burst of good-natured laughter from the surrounding generals.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly and saluted Hu Jialin next to An Yi: "Let's go, An Yi, you go back in the car with me."
"yes."
Under heavy guard, the motorcade slowly drove into the east gate of Yanzhou and headed towards the palace. Chiang Kai-shek looked out the window and asked in a low voice:
"I have approved your reorganization report. Your independent division will be equipped with 18,000 officers and soldiers. This size is equivalent to someone else's army, and it is the first main division in our group army to have a cavalry regiment.
At present, our military's military expenditure has accounted for more than 80% of the government's fiscal revenue. In case of war, the cost will increase exponentially. Therefore, after the success of the Northern Expedition, we must reduce the national army. Your independent division will maintain its status quo, and the upgrade plan will be temporarily postponed.
, temporarily serve as a guard force, directly under the leadership of the General Headquarters.
I have already decided on a station for you. It is at Liuhe on the north bank of Nanjing City. The area is large enough and the scenery is good. With a little expansion, it will be a first-class military camp. It is most suitable for this glorious unit of the Independent Division to be stationed to guard the capital.
At the same time, when encountering a big battle, tough battles must be fought.”
"Thank you principal!"
An Yi was so excited that a big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. If the establishment could not be approved or he was still affiliated to any army, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being dismembered in the subsequent disarmament. He and his brothers worked hard to establish
The army that has risen will be greatly weakened. It is really difficult to rely only on the fifteen thousand brothers in old Nanchang with the designation of the security force, and we don't know when it will gradually grow.
"No need to thank me, you deserve this. Your performance did not disappoint me. You were able to bend and stretch yourself, strictly abide by military discipline, and set a good example for the entire army. Especially this time, you did not embarrass your commander, General He Jingzhi, but obeyed
You are ordered to take the overall situation into consideration, and everyone admires your mind, which is particularly gratifying to me."
At this point, Chiang Kai-shek saw An Yicheng's fearful desire to speak, and stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Don't be polite to me. You are my best student. I am very pleased with every progress you make. In addition,
, this time I come here not only to tell you about the establishment of the independent division after the Northern Expedition, but also to talk to you about your latest mission.
According to the needs of the development of the war, the three armies of our First Group Army will cooperate with the Second Group to fight together. They will gather at Qingyun, Nanpi, Jiaohe, Wuqiang, Jinxian, and Zhengding lines before the 25th of this month to attack Fengjun and the
The Zhilu Army launched a final fierce attack and must make a decisive move to capture Beijing, Tianjin and the entire
Zhili, Zhu Peide and Lu Zhonglin were initially scheduled to preside over the war. After repeated discussions among various departments at the headquarters, it was unanimously decided to let you lead the troops north again, continue to perform your duties as the former enemy's chief of staff, and assist General Zhu Yizhi in fighting this critical battle.
." After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek looked at An Yi with a smile, his eyes full of expectation.
"Make sure to complete the task!" An Yi presented it ecstaticly, and he was extremely excited. He was very fortunate that he and his independent brothers were abolished halfway and could insist on participating in the entire Northern Expedition. This is the biggest honor of every soldier today.
When Chiang Kai -shek saw Anyi's excitement, he smiled again: "Time is very tight, you must prepare for the fastest time. During the whole time of the independent division, you don't need to go north to bring the model of the model camp.
Just teach the team, to establish a good image for our army.
At 11 o'clock tonight, you accompany me to take a trip to Zhengzhou and see the generals of General Feng Huanzhang and Lu Zhonglin, such as the Second Group Army, and will cooperate with each other in the future.
There are already proper plans in this area. "
"Students follow!" An Yi replied.
The team slowly entered the palace courtyard, and the exclaiming and applause in the east of the military camp were clearly heard. After Chiang Kai -shek got out of the car, he frowned and turned to ask An Yi: "What are you doing in your barracks?"
"In the selection of the last skill than the martial arts, the officers and soldiers with excellent military skills were selected into the special brigade.
. "An Yi whispered.
Chiang Kai -shek's eyes lighted up and said interested: "Go, accompany me to see, I want to see how you choose."
As a result, Commander Jiang and the attendant room generals, dozens of generals in the headquarters, dozens of heads of the guards of the guards passed through the side door and came to the independent division camp on the east. At this time
The officers and soldiers have just separated the victory, and the warm applause has not stopped.
Gu Changfeng saw that Commander An Yi accompanied President Jiang and so many people arrived, and immediately ordered to stop the competition, and he ordered all to stand up and salute.
Commander Jiang stood more than thirty meters and returned a gift, and instructed Gu Changfeng to continue his selection. Gu Changfeng made his spiritual spirit, and continued to carry out the brutal trials that were nearly combat.
Commander Jiang and more than a hundred generals stood for more than ten minutes, and four players were either ribs broken or they were beaten and fleshy. One of them was kicked off the high platform and passed out.
I was stunned, and I knew that the selection of the elite soldiers of the independent division was so strict and cruel, and I was able to invest in. For a while, the superb martial arts on the stage were amazed, and they exclaimed together with all officers and soldiers.
Commander Jiang also watched evenly, moved, and immediately ordered An Yi to bring the special brigade to Xuzhou together.
