An Yi stayed in Qiancheng for four full days. During this period, in addition to summarizing and planning the current status, development direction and next-step training and combat plan of the 44th Army, he also discussed the construction and development issues of the entire western Hunan region. It has been decided to further expand the production scale on the basis of the pharmaceutical factory that has been initially completed, and introduce the production technology, technical personnel, production equipment and raw materials of several major drugs from Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory. The products will first be oriented to the southwest, and then radiate to Kangzang and the northwest region; expand and build roads from Qiancheng to surrounding counties to eliminate bottlenecks in the transportation of raw materials and products; make use of Longshan, Yezhuping and other coal mine resources that have already been mined in western Hunan, and strive to build a cement factory and a thermal power plant before the end of the year. And the old Nanchang base hired geological survey personnel to enter Xiangxi as soon as possible to conduct a mineral resources survey.
On April 6, Liu Xiang, the Sichuan general who had coveted Yichang for many years, sent his Tang Shizun division to attack Badong occupied by Tao Jun's Eighteenth Army of the Guangxi faction in the name of following the central government's crusade orders.
An Yi, who received an urgent report from the frontline generals Yin Jinan and Deng Bin on the Hunan-Hubei border, could not stay any longer. He bid farewell to Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen, Zeng Yaokun, Zhang Shaodong and other allied brothers, and left Qiancheng to go north via Cili. Zhang Hongluan and others were reluctant to leave. An Yi sent it to Cili before saying goodbye and returning.
On the evening of the 7th, An Yi, escorted by brothers from the 11th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 44th Army stationed in Cili, arrived at Miaowan, 24 kilometers south of Yidu County. He met up with Yin Jinan and others and began intense preparations for the attack.
What makes An Yi even more happy is that the Independent Division, under the command of Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng, captured the Wuhan barrier E city in the early morning of the day before yesterday, cutting off the retreat of more than 7,000 Guangxi officers and soldiers in southeastern Hubei. Lu Yixuan led the new troops The soldiers of the Second Brigade, working closely with the 26th Brigade of Li Yannian, Jiang Dingwen's Ninth Division, quickly surrounded and disarmed the remaining enemies. Following the Battle of Fuchikou, the brothers of the entire division once again gained the support of the Central Military Commission and the Central Government, Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu Peide. Power-up awards.
The independent divisions that had been adjusted significantly after the diversion have withstood the actual combat test, and their combat effectiveness has not only not declined, but has increased to a certain extent compared with before the adjustment. This is especially reassuring and satisfying for An Yi.
Xia Jian's three brigades have all withdrawn to Nanchang for rest and rehabilitation. After the primary selection, the more than 6,000 prisoners escorted back to the old Nanchang security force base were mostly officers and soldiers from the two Huns, including more than 3,500 veterans. Wearing the military uniform of the Xia Jian Security Force, they were dispersed into the three brigades, teaching regiment and artillery regiment of the Central Jiangxi Security Force. They planned to rest for a week and then start a month of military training and political and ideological education. The remaining more than 2,000 people The prisoners who were tired of the war and did not want to serve as soldiers anymore received five oceans of severance pay each. Almost half of them went to work in factories in old Nanchang. Six hundred people voluntarily joined the construction engineering company affiliated with the Provincial Security Command. A procession of builders went to Jiangxi Province to build bridges and roads.
The day after the four brigades led by Yang Bin captured Xianning, they and their friendly division Tan Daoyuan entered the important town of Wuhan under the orders of Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek. Tan Daoyuan's division was designated as the Wuhan garrison and stationed in Hankou. Yang Bin's division was stationed in Wuchang and shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense. , to make up for the defense gap left after Liu Zhi's Second Route Army advanced westward and northward.
What surprised Anyi and was highly vigilant was that the first division of Liu Xie rubbed the Northwest Army Han Fuqu in the south of Wushengguan, northern Hubei.
Under the warning of Commander Jiang, Liu Ye had to strictly orde his Majesty to endure his edge.
I thought that Liu Ye was shocked by his own military power, Han Fuqu was full of ambition, and he had to order Zhang Yunrong to insert Guangshui. But after the Guangshui, Han Fuqu did not dare to continue south even if he was great.
The front of the front is pulled too long. If Commander Jiang is angry, he turns his face and does not recognize people, and he can easily direct the five divisions of Liu Xun's Second Army to divide his three divisions of Han Fuqu.
As for the situation of the western Hubei battlefield, it is even more complicated. Two regiments of Tao Xun, who did not fight again, quickly defeated under the blow of the Sichuan Army Tang Shi Zun Department.
Occupying Guizhou Town and Guojiaba, it is only 70 kilometers from Yichang City. If it wasn't for the Sichuan Army, it was urgent to take a breath. At this moment, I may have broken the eighteenth army that has nothing to do with morale.
East Road, Zhu Shaoliang commanded His Majesty's Eighth Division, Xia Douyin Thirteen Division, and Zhang Fakui's fourth division of Zhang Fakui, who was re -out of the mountain, and a total of 60,000 soldiers of Fan Shisheng's Eighth Route Army.
In Shashi, the Sand City has not yet attacked Jingzhou City, and the news that the Northwest Army Shi You defeated Tao Xun's eighteenth army Xiangfan guardian to occupy Xiangfan. Zhu Shaoliang immediately called the Commander Jiang who had reached Wuhan, and then led the eighth to the eighth to the eighth.
The thirteenth division slammed Jingzhou City, ordered Zhang Fakui to lead the fourth division to bypass Jingzhou to attack Zhijiang. The command Fan Shisheng was quickly went north to joint Jingzhou, leaving a public security.
An Yi observed it carefully for a while, and slowly raised his head from the map: "Deng Bin, where is your second division forward force arrived?"
"Here, Liujiazhuang, eight kilometers south of Changyang, is stationed in the hills in the south of Zhen. The old guard reported that most of the Changyang defended enemies had been withdrawn north, leaving only one camp stationed, and only one charge could be easily occupied.
"Deng Bin pointed to a certain position on the map to answer.
An Yi nodded, and then asked: "The enemy of Changyang is naturally not talking, but if I ask you to lead the old guard and the second division brothers to win Changyang, and then rush to return to return, how much time do you need?"
Deng Bin and Zhang Cunzhuang, the chief of staff of the second division, and Wu Yijiang, the chief of staff of the second division, discussed the map for a moment and raised his head and answered confidently: "The division, the second division is basically the brothers of the original teacher.
All training is strictly carried out in accordance with the requirements of our independent division. Among them, the backbone of the second division and four brigades are basically under the old subordinates of the special brigade.
How much, from Changyang to Zhijiang, you can take Gaojiayan. Liao Jiachong, a mountain road that can take a carriage, can be completed in the twelve hours of 48 kilometers. In addition, Zhijiang County is located on the south bank.
For the generations, my subordinates have the confidence to win the place before noon tomorrow! Please come to the division to live ... "
"No! Brother Deng, this is the name of Shebuki!"
Cheng Mingzhe, an old subordinate of Zhang Hongluan who graduated from the seventh phase of Baoding, and Chief of Staff of the First Division, interrupted Deng Bin: "General An, please look, our First Division is resting at the Xiongjialing line two kilometers south of Gaojiayan.
There is only thirty-one kilometers from Gaojiayan to Zigui, so why do we need the second division to go the extra mile? In terms of combat effectiveness, I'm afraid my first division is not much worse than the second division, right, sir?"
Zhang Cundang, chief of staff of the army and commander of the first division, echoed: "That's right! Brother Deng, I think you should stay and assist brother Yin to deal with Hu Zongduo and Tao Xun in Yichang. Zigui will leave our first division. Hehe, I
I want to meet that Tang Shizun. Last time, he held up a batch of our goods in Fuling for more than ten years before releasing him. It would be good to meet him this time, so as not to know what he looks like if we fight him later."
The brothers laughed loudly after hearing this, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful. An Yi nodded slightly, consulted Deng Bin and Yin Jinan for their opinions, and then decided to hand over the task to Zhang Cunzhuang, and then solemnly ordered:
"Brother Zhang, although the Sichuan Army is aggressive, we'd better not conflict with them. At present, all departments of the Sichuan Army are our big customers. I believe General Tang Shizun will treat it with caution. They urgently need medicines, guns, mortars, bullets and
Most of the artillery shells
The parts need to be transported from the Yangtze River and Western Hunan. It will be more convenient after our Xiangxi factory is put into operation, so it is better to be friendly and make money. Of course, if someone insists on making an enemy of us, you might as well teach him a lesson and make others understand.
We are not easy to mess with."
Zhang Cunzhuang laughed: "Don't worry, everyone in the Sichuan Army is basically aware of the existence of our 44th Army. Specialties such as medicinal materials and tobacco will pay a 10% transit tax when passing through Xiangxi along the way. In addition, they are constantly fighting among themselves. Who can
Neither want to
They were afraid of offending us and would allow us to take advantage of the loophole to enter eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan. We were also worried that we would block the land route to western Hunan and block their way of transporting opium to the east. I am fully confident that Tang Shizun's grandson would immediately evade us when he saw us taking the initiative to attack.
"
"Okay! Zigui will be handed over to Brother Zhang and Brother Cheng. Jinan, Lao Ding, Brother Xie, Deng Bin, and Lao Wei immediately order the security division and the brothers of the Second Division to prepare for battle. We will attack Yidu before evening.
, the garrison division crossed the river without stopping, rested for three hours, had dinner, and then slowly drove north;
The Second Division left one regiment to garrison in Yidu, and the rest of the divisions went north along the coast to go hand in hand with the security division on the other side and coordinate with each other. It is estimated that around six o'clock tomorrow morning, Cheng Guang's two gunboats and a transport ship will arrive to provide support in the center.
You two divisions; if there is resistance, I can also ask the air force to help.
Jingzhou will be captured by Commander Zhu Shaoliang in the blink of an eye, so we have to move quickly this time, not only to get ahead of the Sichuan army, but also to get ahead of the friendly forces. By taking Yichang, western Hubei and western Hunan can be connected together, which will be a great influence on us in the future.
It plays a vital role in promoting the development of the army. This battle must be fought successfully. Tell the brothers under your command that as long as the combat mission is successfully completed, each person will be rewarded with ten oceans!" An Yi gave a decisive order.
"yes!"
The generals stood tall and answered in unison, then turned around and left to issue action orders.
"Old Ding——"
An Yi called Ding Zhicheng and whispered the instructions: "After Yidu is captured, you will keep an eye on the garrison commander of the 18th Army. I will write a letter and ask him to take him to Yichang and hand it over to Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun. Then.
The Guangxi clique was torn apart and retreating steadily.
, I estimate that they are all frightened now, huddled in the city of Yichang waiting to die, I will immediately call the commander-in-chief, as long as Hu Zongduo and Tao Xun are willing to lead their troops to lay down their weapons, accept our army's adaptation, and let bygones be bygones be treated equally."
"Understand! At present, the overall situation has been set, and the soldiers who can be defeated without fighting are the best." Ding Zhicheng smiled intently.
In the evening, the sound of gunfire and shouting and killing were rising. The local defenders of a regiment were surrounded by the heavy soldiers of the two divisions. The head of the head Zhou Xianhua saw that the ferry was occupied by a camp of the camps that seemed to be dropped from the sky.
There was no retreat from escape, but I could only order my brother to put down the weapon to lift the white flag.
Zhou Xianhua, the deputy head of the defensive group, was taken to An Yi, and saw An Yi sitting on the Tai Shi chair where he often sat in Anyi to write a letter.
I have seen it, but I ca n’t remember it for a while. I can only wait for the guards with a good look at the surrounding equipment as a knife.
Hearing the footsteps, An Yi looked up and glanced at the two, smiled and nodded, and continued to write a letter. After writing the envelope, she got up and walked to the head of the two captives.
Long, Sun Tuan was shocked, An Yi apologized to the two here! "
"An ... General An?"
Zhou Xianhua and his delegation finally remembered who the young man was in front of him.
An Yi waved his hand to signal the two at will, and then asked: "The head of Zhou, An, knows that you are under the jurisdiction of the police command of General Tao Jun. Do you know General Hu Zongduo?"
"Familiar, familiar! The belonging to General Hu is a fellow village. The village next door is the head of this group.
An Yi nodded: "You can tell me the truth, this is good! Captain Zhou, Anmou has one thing, and the two may know that I and General Hu are older friends today.
At the time, I met each other. I have been getting along with each other for nearly a year, and I have almost nothing to talk about. Although we are divided into different camps today, my personal friendship has not changed. At least I feel that An Yi has not changed.
In order to prevent innocent brothers of the two armies from killing each other, I urged the head of Zhou to bring a letter to Yichang to the elder brother today and narrate the old. At the same time, I would like to discuss the method of peaceful resolution.
Follow the head of Zhou. "
"Be sure to do it, it must be! Go to the subordinates!"
The head of Zhou Tuan with a beautiful beard stood up and agreed loudly, took the letter to An Yi with both hands, carefully put it in the top of the shirt, and glanced at An Yi after the buckle.
Request: "General An, there is one thing in the subordinates. The subordinates are the generals of the defeat. I dare not make excessive demands, but the generals are requested to see the brothers of this regiment.
... Don't embarrass them. "
An Yi laughed: "I thought it was a big deal, it was okay! My brother who had never been embarrassed to let go of the weapon and wanted to continue being a soldier.
Send it to five oceans home for each person.
"Thank you General, thank you!"
The head of Zhou Tuan was grateful and still did not leave.
An Yi felt very strange, and quickly asked: "Is there anything else for the head of the Zhou Dynasty ... Please say that when you have something, the head of the Zhou Duan is clear that he can order more than a thousand brothers when the two armies are about to fight.
, I am a great achievement, what else can I say? "
Zhou Xianhua gritted his teeth, bowed his head and requested: "General, the military demand of the subordinates and the accounting rooms of the accounts were all seized by your troops.
... Even if you can't send it all, I hope to get 30 % ... "
"Yes, there is no problem at all. When the head of the Zhou Tuan sent the letter to return, Anmou immediately met the requirements of the two!" An Yi promised generously.
Zhou Xianhua, the two of them were grateful to salute, followed the two brothers selected by Ding Zhicheng to strode away. Ding Zhicheng and the two stepped out of the door, immediately came to An Yi, shook his head with a regretful face, and then sighed: "Teacher seat
You are too generous, did you not see my gesture? "
"What gesture? I really didn't see it, what's going on?" An Yi shook his head unknowingly, looking at Ding Zhicheng a little curiously.
Ding Zhicheng frowned and explained very distressedly: "Teacher seat, do you know how much money was deposited in the two grandson warehouses? When I left, the number of five brothers in the military section was not half half of the number of brothers.
What about the ten gold bars? It would be a pity if you promised to return them to them all! "
An Yi was frightened and blurted out: "So much money! His grandma, no wonder he heard rumors that Tao Jun occupied a monthly income of not 800,000 per month.
They are all earned by collecting tobacco and soil taxes, and there is no industrial and commercial tax and agricultural tax. It seems that all this is real ... but I have promised others, what should I do now? "
"Let me think of this. The money in the warehouse should be public funds. After the counting is completed, it returns 30 % according to their requirements. It is enough to take 70,000 to 80,000 to each person!" Ding Zhicheng suggested.
An Yi nodded: "It seems that it can only be the same. Such a large amount of money can not be given to them as much as possible. In the future, your teacher is stationed here. If you want to govern the support of the people for a long time, you must repair the road and repair the bridge.
You need money for the establishment of a house for the establishment of a hospital for the local people to build a hospital! "
"So, I follow the main force to cross the river."
Ding Zhicheng nodded and saluted, and walked out of the door to pull Shen Fengdao, who was standing at the door to smoke and watch the captive collection.
A low whisper.
Shen Fengdao pointed at Ding Zhicheng and laughed: "You clearly want to make your younger brother make mistakes!"
Ding Zhicheng shook his head and shook his head: "This is our own idea. Isn't it that the division does not keep the credit. It has nothing to do with him, right? I want to command the troops to attack Yichang without time, otherwise I will do it myself."
"Okay, let's do it. When you come back, I will return it to you." Shen Fengdao agreed in a low voice. Ding Zhicheng hugged his fist happily and thanked him.
