Chapter 503: Capture Yichang without losing any blood (2)
An Yi received the telegram successfully received by Yin Jinan and forwarded the good news to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was extremely happy and immediately informed the whole country. Xia Wei, Cheng Ruhuai and Li Shiqiao were scattered in the Jingxiang area to resist Zhu Shaoliang's troops.
When more than ten thousand officers and soldiers of the Gui army heard the news that Yichang was occupied by An Yi's troops, they laid down their weapons and stopped resisting within a few days. They accepted the formation of divisions under Zhu Shaoliang and Liu Zhi. The Jiang-Gui war that shocked both China and the world came to an end.
Hu Zongduo and Tao Xun escaped unscathed, but the regiment commanders and brigade commanders under them were not as lucky as them. The experienced deputy commander of the garrison division Ding Zhicheng and the deputy commander of the 44th Army Deng Bin had already been with Hu Zongduo and Tao Xun.
Before the power was turned on, the special brigade, spy battalion and teaching group brothers of the two divisions under his command were dispatched to quickly blockade the main roads around Yichang. The navy led by Lu Guang
We intercepted and inspected some suspicious ships on the river, and captured the brigade commanders who were escaping quietly with heavy sums of money. If they resisted at the slightest moment, they were immediately put to death on the spot. After three days of blockade and interception, the amount of gold and silver confiscated was as much as 450 times the equivalent of the ocean.
After Yu Wan and An Yi received the report, they had a deeper understanding of the prosperity of Yichang area and strengthened their determination to occupy Yichang and the five surrounding counties for a long time.
On April 16, An Yi arrived in Hankou on the return gunboat of the Chengguang Navy. At the pier, he was given a grand welcome by members of the Central Military Commission. He was soon gathered at the former Wuhan Political Branch Building to receive the award from Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek.
The lively ceremony lasted for more than an hour, taking photos and answering reporters' questions. An Yi was sweating profusely. He had no time to change his clothes and was pushed to the dinner party with Zhu Shaoliang, Liu Zhi, Jiang Dingwen and Gu Zhu.
Together with Xia Douyin and other generals, they enjoyed the celebration dinner hosted by Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek.
At 10:30 in the evening, An Yi, who had been drunk, took a shower and took the sobering tea from Lin Yaodong. He chatted wordlessly with the two life and death brothers Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong. The colonel's staff in the attendant's room knocked on the door and informed him.
The principal invited him, and An Yi quickly put on his military uniform and hurried over.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang's spacious office was originally owned by Li Zongren. At this time, there were civil servants such as Yang Yongtai, the think tank, and generals from various divisions including his favorite generals Liu Zhi, Zhu Shaoliang, Jiang Dingwen and Gu Zhuping were also present. Everyone saw An Yi's report and greeted him with a smile.
, An Yi, who was happy to return the gift, found that Hu Zongnan was also there. He happily came to sit next to Hu Zongnan and greeted him in a low voice. Hu Zongnan whispered a few words, pointed to Commander-in-Chief Chiang who was reading the document, and signaled a pause. The Commander-in-Chief would give a lecture soon.
Already.
Chiang Kai-shek coughed lightly, put down the document and glanced around, and finally looked at An Yi, who was sitting with his chest raised, with a smile:
"Everyone, the Battle of Western Hubei was fought very well, especially the First Route Army commanded by An Yi. It captured the choke point Yichang without a single blow, defeated the enemy without a fight, and properly placed nearly 20,000 prisoners and safely sent them to Wuchang.
The battalion accepts the adaptation of various departments of our army, and does not greedy for credit or steal people.
After the two divisions under his command were stationed in the Yichang area to take over the defense, they did not plunder the civilians of Yichang City and the five surrounding counties. They were unanimously praised by all walks of life in western Hubei. This alone is a great contribution to the long-term peace and stability of Hubei and the establishment of our country.
It has made a huge contribution to the military’s reputation.”
Applause rang out, An Yi nodded humbly with a smile, and Chiang Kai-shek gestured and then said: "Every department has performed well in this battle and should receive awards. Now, Deputy Minister Ge will announce the award plan that has been promulgated in advance."
Ge Jingen stood up with the folder, read the results of the Western Expedition and the contributions of the generals.
"Since the results of the Division of the Third Route Army have not been declared yet, below, the prize of the first Army who took the lead in completing the trial of the results of the combination of the battle was awarded the first -class Bao Ding Medal of General Zhu Peide of the First Army to award the first.
The Chief of Staff of the Army and the former commander of General An Yi, the first Paoding Medal, awarded an independent division ...
Based on the current actual needs, the Central Military Commission and the General Command jointly decided: the first army chief of staff and former commander commander An Yi, who officially transferred to the staff headquarters from the first day, served as the first section of Lieutenant General Section
He is also the chief instructor of the Central Military Academy and the Central Infantry School, and no longer concurrently serves as an independent teacher.
Major General Temporary Yichang Police Command Commander is responsible for the defense of Yichang and the surrounding five counties, maintenance of public security, smoking and anti -drugs, and surface alert;
Major General Zhu Shigui is the middle school commander and Jiujiang in the site; Yang Bin, deputy commander of the former Jiangxi Security Command, promoted to the commander -in -chief of Lieutenant General.
Xia Jianjin was promoted to the deputy commander of the Security Command of the Jiangxi Province, and was also the commander of the Ganzhong Security Forces; Major General Zhan Huanqi, Chief of Staff of the Security Command of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Command, was transferred to Major General of Nanchang Guardian.
, The main division of the Central Military Commission is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Military Commission; the former Jiangxi Provincial Security Force Ganzhong Command directly under the five to seven brigades, transferred to the Nanchang Command of the Provincial Security Command, the Commander of the Ganzhong Security Command Xia Jian recruited soldiers as soon as possible, and strives
During the month, the Ganzhong Security Forces were reorganized; the former 44th Army remained unchanged.
After the announcement and adjustment of the first Army's awards and adjustments, the general congratulations to Anyi, but everyone understood that An Yi, who was getting stronger and stronger, was cleverly weakened by Commander Jiang.
, Yin Ji, from the independent division, was upgraded to Yichang in the sixteenth division. Therefore, the Jiangxi Security Forces, which was amazing, was two points.
Brigadier, Yang Bin's Jiangxi Province Security Command accounts for three brigades. Anyi's confidant general Xia Jian has only a vice -commander of the provincial deputy commander and the headquarters of the Ganzhong Command.
The 30,000 security forces of the iron plate were divided into three different independent parts.
Under the complicated eyes of everyone, An Yi was calm and calm as ever, and her young face could not see a trace of joy and sorrow.
Yang Yongtai, who was sitting on the side of Chiang Kai -shek on the side of Chiang Kai -shek, quietly glanced at An Yi. He was surprised in his heart. He was surprised that An Yi had such a fixed force and the city.
This thought is fleeting in Yang Yongtai's mind. He believes that he is loyal to Chiang Kai -shek, loyalty to the country, and dispel the only iron plate of the army in the army.
It is worthy of conscience, and it is worthy of righteousness.
Ge Jingen sat down quietly, looking at Anyi embarrassed, pretending to check the file hidden guilt.
The scene was immediately quiet, and there was a brief embarrassment. Commander Jiang silently consolidated An Yi, who was sitting on the opposite side, and suddenly felt a sense of debt in his heart.
