The drizzle of rain kept falling, and the world was vast. An Yi was lying on a bench in his small building in the Central Military Academy, leisurely drinking wine with Shen Fengdao and others.
Originally, An Yi was going to be put in a solitary room, but his careful senior brother Wang Shihe sent An Yi directly to his small building, leaving two guards to guard the door. He was considered solitary. When he returned, he reported to Chiang Kai-shek that he could not be put in solitary confinement. A solitary room, otherwise it would be difficult for military school staff and students to ask questions.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was much less angry. Thinking about An Yi's illustrious military exploits, and then thinking about the Independent Division and An Yi's old subordinates in southern Sichuan, Yunnan, Xiangxi, and western Guizhou, he felt that things would become too big and difficult to deal with. He nodded and thought that Wang Shihe was thoughtful, so he praised him and walked out of the office to hold a banquet at home. He Yingqin, who had a bruised nose and face and was about to fly back to Nanchang tomorrow to direct the suppression of bandits, was shocked.
What’s interesting is that Chiang Kai-shek’s “Qilu” is less than 100 meters away from An Yi’s small building. When Chiang Kai-shek toasted to invite him to have a drink, An Yi also toasted with his brothers in his small building. The only regret at this moment He couldn't walk out of the small building freely, and couldn't fulfill his promise to go to the movies with the two beauties. For this reason, An Yi explained to Gong Qian and Ye Qing in a low voice for a long time on the phone, and said without conscience that the emergency military meeting would have to be held for several consecutive times. God, there is no way to leave during this period.
It was just dawn this morning, and An Yi, dressed neatly in military uniform, stood upright at the gate of "Qilu", letting the heavy drizzle in the rainy season soak his whole body.
More than half of the guards on duty are senior brothers from Huangpu. They have all learned that the famous Junior Brother An has returned to the gangster style he used to live on the streets and beat up General He Jingzhi, the former superintendent of education and veteran commander, so they all saw An. Yi just wanted to laugh, and in his heart he admired this junior brother's style of daring to love, hate and not be afraid of the King of Heaven and me.
However, everyone was heartbroken when they saw An Yi standing silently in the rain in front of the corridor with a straight face, but no one dared to go over to persuade him. They knew that An Yi, who had been banned for a week, had just been released from the ban. Although he still had the title of lieutenant general and general, The honor of acting chief of education of the military academy is gone, and the official position of deputy chief of staff is retained, but there is no specific division of labor and power. He was also punished once with a major demerit in the party for unfounded charges. Currently, he can only stay in the military academy and serve as a general class. Be a tactical instructor with the students.
Song Meiling sat at the dining table, holding a fork without moving for a long time, always looking at the poor figure of An Yi standing upright outside the gauze curtain: "Darling, An Yi has been standing there for more than two hours, go out and give him a message Well, it seems that this time he has sincerely admitted his mistake."
"He admits his mistake? This kid is very stubborn. Last night, people from the Military and Political Department went to announce his punishment. He didn't say a word and showed no intention of repenting. Let him continue to stand. More exposure to the rain will help him calm down."
Chiang Kai-shek picked up a piece of bread with his hands and ate it slowly.
Song Meiling sighed: "The central plenary session is being held these two days. Representatives from all walks of life know that An Yi has returned to Nanjing, and they all want to see him, especially representatives from Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan and northwest provinces. I'm grateful to him. It would be difficult to deal with it if I didn't let him out. Besides, An Yi is still an alternate member of the Central Committee. He can't take such a long sick leave during such an important meeting, right? Be careful that the delegates don't believe it. There have been many outsiders before. There are bad rumors, and Wang Jingwei and his gang in Guangzhou are creating public opinion, making a fuss about An Yi's job transfer, slandering Daring for depriving meritorious generals of their military power, and further accelerating the dictatorship."
Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly put down half a piece of bread: "Tell me, how does this guy look like a general of an army? He is simply a little hooligan, a little brat. I didn't expect that he would really dare to do it, and in front of me and so many other soldiers."
It's okay for him to be a high-ranking officer. He was measured in his actions. It's just a flesh wound and it doesn't matter. Otherwise, wouldn't it miss the plan to suppress the bandits?"
"puff……"
Song Meiling quickly covered her mouth with a white napkin, trying not to laugh out loud. She felt that although An Yi was ridiculous, he was so frank and cute. She remembered that night when He Yingqin had a bruised nose and face, and sighed, but he still pretended to be generous and forgive An Yi.
Song Meiling found the look of Yi more and more interesting, and when she saw Chiang Kai-shek rolling his eyes, she couldn't stop smiling.
Chiang Kai-shek drank the saliva and shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it, you can laugh if you want, but you can't laugh in front of An Yi. You, the teacher's wife, must criticize him seriously, otherwise his butt will be raised to the sky.
Went, alas... This guy's military level is not so good. He trains the army to govern.
The local government also has its own tricks, but they are too vindictive. Guofu whispered to me that now the senior officials at the headquarters and party headquarters are still afraid. No one expected An Yi to be so wild and strike at will without warning.
, warlords still know how to care about their identity in order to save face, but it would be better for him to lose face."
Song Meiling couldn't help but smile again, and said with emotion: "It's not all his fault... Sometimes I think about how pitiful An Yi is. He was abandoned by his biological parents a few days after he was born, and he has not yet been raised as a weakling.
The kind old man passed away again. He didn't get the family love he deserved since he was a child. It's not easy to get to where he is today step by step!
Darling, forgive him! Go and say something to him, ask him to go back and change clothes quickly, then pretend that nothing happened, let him attend the meeting, and then go back to teach in the military academy. I believe he already knows that he was wrong,
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been standing at the door before dawn, blaming myself until now.”
Chiang Kai-shek looked at his watch: "It's been almost three hours. His health is not good. He was seriously injured in Nanchang, Jiangbei and Peiping. If he gets wet again, he might get sick. So, you go ahead, you are his master's wife.
He respects you very much. You can say something better, but I don’t know what to say."
"All right."
Song Meiling tidied up her clothes, walked out the door, and came back a few minutes later. She shook her head and said helplessly to Chiang Kai-shek: "This kid is too stubborn, Darling. He said he was wrong. If the principal can't forgive him, he will keep doing it."
Stand."
"Niang Xipi! Are you threatening me?"
Chiang Kai-shek strode out the door angrily. Song Meiling quickly followed to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from getting angry. Who knew that Chiang Kai-shek felt his heart soften when he saw An Yi who was soaked like a drowned rat? It seemed that he saw An Yi jumping into the battle of Nanchang.
On the cold Gan River, I saw Wang Shihe carrying the pontoon on his shoulders and shouting to Wang Shihe to quickly take him away from the pontoon. His nose felt sore and he looked up at the gray sky filled with drizzle.
After a while, Chiang Kai-shek lowered his head, looked at An Yi quietly, and whispered: "Go back, change clothes, and have a meeting at half past eight."
"Thank you, principal! An Yi... An Yi is full of guilt and is willing to accept any punishment." An Yi lowered his head with a heavy expression.
Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly: "I have already been punished, so don't mention it again. After attending today's meeting, I will return to the military academy to teach tomorrow. You are not qualified to be the chief of education. It is still very popular to take professional courses."
"yes!"
An Yi stood at attention and saluted, turned around very formally, and walked towards his small building in the drizzle with military steps.
Song Meiling sighed with emotion. For a moment, she couldn't figure out how the teacher and student could solve the problem in just a few words. Why did she just say nearly a hundred words to no avail?
The first official meeting of the National Assembly began. The bosses of the various ministries of the Military Commission who were sitting on the military bench wanted to laugh when they saw An Yi, who was sitting upright and meticulous. However, An Yi listened carefully to Yu, Chairman of the Presidium on the stage, as if nothing had ever happened.
Youren on "Convention"
and Industrial Construction Procedures" and "Condolences to the Soldiers and Encourage the Overseas Chinese" reports. Many representatives from the surrounding area quietly looked at An Yi, who was young but sitting in the front row of the military and political table. Their eyes were full of reverence and affection. Who knew that what happened a week ago
That incredible incident.
The lengthy meeting finally ended. An Yi followed Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and asked for "sick leave" again. He quietly returned to the office in Houzai Lane to deal with the large and small matters that had accumulated for the week. He was busy until night before he changed into casual clothes and rushed to Gong Qian's house next door.
dinner, late
Together with Gong Qian and Ye Qing, they sneaked into the "Jinghua Cinema" at the corner of Gulou Street to watch the movie "Mickey Mouse and the Giant". After that, the three of them happily went to the Confucius Temple for supper and played until eleven o'clock in the night.
Then they returned to Gong Qian's house together.
Ye Qing stayed behind to chat with Gong Qian at night, while An Yi went back next door to sort out various intelligence sent from Nanchang, preparing to give a vivid lesson in strategy and tactics to the students in the Huangpu General Class.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, half an hour before class started, the auditorium of the Central Military Academy was already packed with stars. There were more than a hundred general class students, dozens of military academy instructors from various disciplines who could spare time, and five hundred military academy students.
The outstanding students of the regular class gathered together, and more than a dozen European, American and Japanese military instructors were also sitting in the audience with great interest, waiting for the first lesson that General An Yi was about to teach after a long absence.
An Yi's strategic and tactical courses have always been welcomed and highly praised by teachers and students of the Central Military Academy. In addition, An Yi has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich practical experience. He can explain everything in simple and easy-to-understand terms and is close to reality, using simple and vivid and easy-to-understand language.
The content was explained clearly and easily, leaving a deep impression on the students and benefiting them a lot.
At 2:30, An Yi, wearing a summer camouflage training uniform, entered the gate on time and stepped onto the podium. More than 700 teachers and students stood up and saluted amidst the loud command of the officer on duty. An Yi returned the ring salute in an upright manner.
, took off his soft hat and was about to speak, but was immediately interrupted by warm applause from the audience.
An Yi knew that the applause was for himself and the soldiers fighting in the Southwest, so he thanked the microphone very politely and humbly asked everyone to sit down.
"Thank you all! Due to the needs of the war, the seventh batch of trainees graduated one after another last year and entered the army. One hundred and forty-two of them entered the original Fifth Army Corps and experienced the Battle of Nanyang, the Battle of Luoyang and the battles in southern Sichuan.
They have gradually matured in nearly a year of fighting. Among them, the person with the highest rank who has been promoted through meritorious service is the major battalion commander. There are a total of eleven such outstanding officers from our Central Military Academy. They have now become outstanding among the divisions stationed in Sichuan.
officer.
In addition to my colleagues and colleagues from allied armies who came to study, most of the people here are colleagues from the eighth period. Starting from the eighth period, the academic system of the military academy was changed to three years. This is the need for military construction. At the same time,
There are no big battles to be fought outside for now, and there are no good opportunities to make meritorious deeds. I hope you can stay and study with peace of mind."
As soon as An Yi finished speaking, there was laughter in the audience. An Yi looked around and said calmly: "Perhaps some brothers want to ask about the ongoing fierce competition between Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan and Jiangxi, Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and Hunan."
Isn't the vigorous war against bandits in Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places a war? I can only say that it is, and it will become bigger and bigger, and there will be no results in the short term."
The whole hall was in an uproar, and the European, American and Japanese instructors also looked at An Yi on the stage in astonishment. It was difficult to understand how this young general who was invincible and good at fighting tough battles could say such a thing.
The Central Army has invested up to 200,000 troops in the second encirclement and suppression campaign currently underway. The main force of the 19th Route Army is placed in the Xingguo area and attacks in the direction of Longgang and Ningdu; the 28th and 40th forces of the Fifth Route Army are
The 3rd, 54th, and 77th divisions were placed in Wan'an, Taihe, and Ji'an
, Jishui, and Yongfeng areas, attack in the direction of Donggu and Shaxi; place the main force of the 26th Route Army in the Le'an and Yihuang areas to attack in the direction of Dajinzhu and Luokou; place the main force of the Sixth Route Army in the direction of Dajinzhu and Luokou.
Nanfeng and Jianning, Fujian, attacked in the direction of Guangchang. In addition, the fourth group of the new group stationed in Fujian
Brigade, the newly formed Second Division Lu Xingbang Brigade, the 49th Division and the 62nd Division in Guangdong carried out blockade attacks on the Jiangxi-Fujian and Jiangxi-Guangdong borders. The total strength was 18 divisions and three brigades, totaling 200,000 troops.
, to wipe out the red army with less than 100,000 mud-legged soldiers. Such a disparity in strength comparison, and the Central Committee
The army has lessons to learn from the failure of the first encirclement and suppression campaign. An Yi is not optimistic about this large-scale war and predicts that "the war will get bigger and bigger and there will be no results in the short term." This is equivalent to predicting that the Central Military Army
It will end in failure, how can it not make the whole house an uproar?
An Yi waited patiently for the venue to quiet down and continued his topic without a care:
"In today's class, what I want to explain is about the prediction of the second siege. I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two warring parties from all aspects, based on their respective positions and the history and humanity of each battlefield in the entire battlefield.
We will try to make an overall prediction based on the environment, climate, geography and many other conditions.
Let me first state here that the reason why I use the term "warring parties" is not because I have no position, but to facilitate everyone to discuss it from an objective perspective without bringing personal emotions intentionally or unintentionally; secondly, all of my following
The content of the speech is only an academic discussion. It does not contain any political purpose, is not related to any ideology, and does not contain biased and subjective assumptions. Please remember my two statements. These two statements are very important because
Academic mistakes are forgivable, but ideological mistakes will cause big problems."
Everyone smiled knowingly again. An Yi had made such a joke in class before. The officials from the Political Department and the Political Training Office also laughed it off. They were helpless. Everyone knew clearly what An Yi's statement meant.
, the cunning An Yi always put aside all suspicions first. Everyone heard his fair and aboveboard statement, so no one could make a snitch.
An Yi returned to the subject, and based on the battle reports he obtained from the staff department that could be disclosed within the military system and the secret intelligence sent by the Nanchang Intelligence Station, he described the battles of the second encirclement and suppression campaign from the launch to the present step by step:
From He Yingqin's combat policy of "fight step by step, fight steadily" to some troops who only advance 2.5 to 2.8 kilometers a day, from underestimating the enemy's advance and being ambushed to being too afraid to move forward and being maimed by ants and elephants, each of them uses examples of recent battles.
tell clearly and unmistakably
Let me tell you that without a strong command group and an effective supervision mechanism, the same order may be implemented in multiple ways. In addition, the extremely rigid "step by step and steady" system restricts each combat unit from exerting its own advantages.
wrong
Misguided thinking, this war will not have anything to look forward to. On the contrary, there is a lack of in-depth understanding of the mountains, the complex fluctuation patterns of rivers, the rainy season rainfall and vegetation characteristics, the distribution of residents, and even the planting and production of food crops.
Two meals a day are a must
To understand the situation, it will become the main enemy of the attacking side. To sum up in detail, there are only three traditional military elements: time, location, and people! On the basis of these three elements, equipment is the most important of the three elements.
Which party holds the main "human rights"?
Two hours later, the generals and students in the hall were listening with interest, but also worried. An Yi did not make any specific predictions, but ended today's class with a short story:
"In April, I was inspecting the battlefield in southern Sichuan. The telecommunications section chief of the army below told me that Bijia Mountain was too high and too wide, covered with forests, and that it was impossible to conduct radio communication with Huangyang'ao, which is 2.5 kilometers away from the opposite side, due to geological problems.
In terms of communication, the straight-line distance between the two places is no more than three kilometers, but it takes eight hours to walk on winding mountain trails, making it impossible to communicate quickly and effectively.
As soon as the section chief stopped speaking, a shout came from Huangyang'ao. The sound spread for ten miles and echoed in the valley. The owner of the family living on Huangyang'ao stood on the top of the mountain and shouted, "The village at the foot of Bijia Mountain will soon..."
A man walked out and stood on a high hill more than fifty meters in front of me, facing Huangyangaowa.
Wow, I'm from Sichuan, and I can hear what they are shouting. It turns out that the two of them are passing on the news. The boss lives on Huangyang'ao. He caught a deer while hunting today and wants to take his family down the mountain.
The second child's family got together at the foot of Beacon Mountain, and the eldest brother told the second child to buy wine immediately.
At that time, my section chief was dumbfounded, so I went over and asked for permission to stay. I drank my own wine and got drunk with a group of them that night. The eldest brother and his family from Huangyang'ao went all the way for this meal and wine.
The Yangchang Mountain Trail takes five hours, but it takes my brothers eight hours, a full two and a half hours longer. The reason is that there is a shortcut hidden in an inconspicuous dense forest. We don't know about it. Only they are familiar with it.
Everyone, today’s class ends here, goodbye!”
The whole hall stood up and applauded like thunder. That night the content of this lesson spread throughout the military academy and soon reached the ears of the generals at the headquarters and Chiang Kai-shek.
The generals smiled after hearing this, but no one took it seriously. As a result, within ten days, news of failures came one after another, but no one took responsibility for their mistakes, and no failed generals were willing to review. Only more than ten people from
The military instructors in Europe, America and Japan were greatly shocked. They were all trying their best to make an appointment with An Yi to conduct detailed deductions on the war.
