Outside the regimental headquarters of the Reading Force Regiment in the north of Longyou City, 215 boxes of ammunition boxes that had been tightly sealed and nailed were all loaded into the compartments of military trucks, which were covered with more than 300 quilts and more than 2,000 sets of military uniforms captured by the Zhejiang army.

In the courtyard, six truck drivers of the military transportation regiment drank tea and laughed with Chang Baofang, the quartermaster of the Reading Regiment, and Chang Chang stood up when he saw that the time was almost up, and went back to the room to take out six brand-new Browning pistols and six boxes of ammunition to give to each driver, politely saying that this is a little commemoration of the Battle of Tanglan, please accept it.

The lieutenant colonel captain of the transport regiment, who had already obtained two "little goldfish" in private, stood up gratefully and thanked the five brothers on behalf of his jubilant brothers, saying that the brothers of the model battalion and the reading force regiment were interesting enough, no matter what the task was, they never let the brothers leave empty-handed, and no regiment in the whole army could compare.

Lao Chang laughed, and very proudly accompanied the six people out of the courtyard gate, sent the drivers to the side of the car one by one, and then asked the subordinates who followed him to stuff large bags of souvenirs into the cab.

At the gate of the compound, Yang Shijun and his entourage said goodbye to An Yi's brothers, and at this moment their names for each other have completely changed, Yang Shijun called An Yi Xiaoyi, called Hu Zi Jialin, and An Yi and Hu Zi called Uncle Yang one by one, and outsiders really thought that they were uncles and nephews of world friends.

In the end, An Yi sent Yang Shijun to the cab of the second car driven by the lieutenant colonel himself, and quietly told him that after meeting Commander-in-Chief Jiang, he and Yin Jinan would return to old Nanchang to withdraw money, and deposit the bulky and conspicuous ocean and gold bars in a foreign bank in the north of Nanchang, and it would be safer and more convenient to withdraw them in Shanghai.

Yang Shijun was so moved that he nodded again and again, and after getting in the car and closing the door, the car started slowly, Yang Shijun waved to An Yi frequently, and tears flowed out.

The 4,200 captives were divided into more than 30 parts by nearly 1,000 officers and men of the guard company, machine gun company, artillery company, and teaching team belonging to the Reading Regiment, and more than 1,200 officers and men were quickly eliminated from them.

The remaining 3,000 men were again divided into 10 square formations, and after the encouragement and mobilization of the commanders and instructors of the various units of the Reading Force, 523 artillerymen, heavy machine gunners, light machine gunners, and officers and men with special skills walked out of the ranks and were immediately taken away from their places and driven to the regiment headquarters by the officers and men of the teaching company.

After running five kilometers, the 500 men who were the first to complete the project were led aside and lined up in a concentrated formation, and it took only 10 minutes for the battalion commanders to divide up the 500 brothers. The remaining 1,600 or so captive brothers drank water and rested, re-collected the rifles, grenades, and bullets of various calibers left over by the Reading Force, and distributed five steamed buns to each of them after they were draped, and prepared to leave for the headquarters of the 2nd Division at Youbu.

An Yi, who stood on the earthen hill in the east and inspected, smiled with satisfaction, a group of company platoon commanders have grown up under their own painstaking training, and the baptism of war and the test of life and death again and again have made this group of loyal and down-to-earth grassroots commanders have rich practical combat experience and mature minds, and now, they have all been promoted from ordinary soldiers to the position of lieutenants and non-commissioned officers, constituting the backbone of the reading regiment, and will use An Yi's method of training them to strictly train their subordinates, and they are praised by the whole army as a "model battalion" The spirit will flourish in them.

An Yi said to Hu Zi and Gu Lao Er beside him: "The total number of officers and soldiers in our regiment has reached 4,700 so far, not counting the 458 brothers who were assigned to Lao Nanchang to recuperate from his wounds and be responsible for setting up a recruitment office and training base. These two victories have doubled the four regiments of the division, and together with the five new regiments that the commander-in-chief has added to our division, the total number of officers and men in the division has reached a record of more than 23,800 men, and the six regiments, which have the smallest number, have also reached 5,200 officers and men.

In order to continue to maintain our advantages, we have to be busy from today onwards, and it will be difficult to meet the requirements if we do not take this opportunity to run in quickly. Huzi, together with Hutou, you are responsible for selecting 400 elite soldiers from all parts of the regiment to enrich the guard company, plus the existing 230 elites under Hutou to form a new main battalion, no matter what method you use to select talents, I ask you to complete it within three days, and it is estimated that we will be pulled out after three days, and then the two of you will personally lead the team to conduct a month of strong training, and participate in actual combat at any time if necessary.

After the strong training, the two of you have to cooperate with Lao Ding, Dou Fang and Lao Li of the sniper detachment, and select the people they need from these six hundred and thirty elites, the special detachment has accumulated a certain amount of experience and can be expanded, so let them give this sign of the guard company. ”

After listening to An Yi's words, several regiment-level commanders such as the surrounding beards immediately realized that An Yi's army building plan began to speed up, and everyone's hearts were full of expectation and slight excitement, knowing that as long as they stepped up to this level, their troops would be transformed again, regardless of the scale and combat effectiveness, they would make great strides forward, and they would be one step closer to the goal of building an iron army, and everyone's position and rank would also be improved accordingly, so that they could stand on a larger stage of war to show their talents and realize their higher and higher ideals in their hearts.

"Boss, you're not going to let me be the new commander of the main battalion, are you? Then I don't do it, I like to stay in my own guard company and don't go anywhere! ”

Gu Lao Er was really reluctant to bring out the guard company with his own hands, and looked at An Yi with squinted eyes and was very dissatisfied.

Hu Zi and Qu Muchen, Yang Bin, Ye Cheng and others on the side laughed, An Yi frowned and glared at Gu Laoer:

"I've never seen a company commander addicted, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes! I'll tell you the truth today, when you conquer Nanjing, you must go to the military academy under the leadership of our civil axe and revolutionary army with Hu Zi, Xia Jian and others to gild, otherwise it will definitely affect your future in the future.

I have already inquired, all armies and divisions in my Northern Expeditionary Army hope that the principal will open a special class with a one-year school system in Huangpu, specifically absorbing middle and low-level commanders with military merits in each army to enroll in advanced studies, and the same treatment as the official class, the course is more targeted to the surname, and the instructors are more qualified, you and a group of brothers with outstanding military achievements such as Hu Zi and Xia Jian, only after such an improvement, can you go more smoothly in your future military career, and can you be regarded as orthodox military commanders, understand? You won't wait for Lao Tzu and his brothers to become generals, and you will still be the commander of the guard company, right? ”

The brothers smiled again, Gu Lao Er shook his head and stopped talking, he also understood that whether it was necessary or not, he had to take the step of entering the regular military academy to gild, otherwise it would really affect his future military career, and the long-term guilt that An Yi had suffered also made him feel a lot, and the reason why he raised an objection just now was entirely because he was really reluctant to bring out the guard company brothers, not because he couldn't see the stakes.

An Yi said to Yang Bin: "Yesterday, before leaving, the division quietly told me that the General Headquarters felt the backwardness of our army's military level and the lack of senior command personnel, and decided to hold a selection examination in early May this year to select 25 middle-level commanders with the rank of lieutenant colonel and above, and to send them to famous military academies in Ben, Germany, and the United States in early June for a three-year study abroad.

Due to the kindness of the principal, I was asked to study abroad without taking the exam, but neither the division nor the chief of staff wanted me to leave at this time, and I immediately said that I would not go out. The division and the chief of staff were quite apologetic when they heard my answer, and said to me that I would recommend one person to replace me, and I immediately asked for two places, and the division was in trouble, saying that he agreed but asked me to convince the principal, and said that as long as I could get through the principal's joints, he would let ten people go, haha!

Lao Yang, Lao Ye and Lao Qu, the principal is easy to talk to, not to mention that we also have the signboard of 'Model Camp', I plan to let the three of you take the exam in May with Chen Zhibiao, Mu Retroyi, and Yang Fei, your level is definitely not worse than my senior brothers, Lao Ye and Lao Qu also master the basic Chinese and English, it is easier to do, if you go out and come back in a few years, if you want, let's continue to work together, haha! ”

"I'm not going, I'm in my thirties this year, and my two wives and four children make me worried, where do I have the energy to learn those chicken intestine characters? It's better to stay and lead the troops with you, haha! Yang Bin replied with satisfaction.

Chen Zhibiao and Mu Zhaiyi, who had just arrived, also expressed their reluctance to go, saying that if it was an army university in China, they could still consider it, and if they went out to stay abroad for three years, they couldn't stand it, and only Ye Cheng, Qu Muchen, and Yang Fei, who usually had time to read tirelessly, showed a light of hope in their eyes.

An Yi glanced around, and then understood what to do: "Let's put this matter down first!" You must take care of the 680-member training team within two months, and conduct uninterrupted political and ideological education for these military backbones who have been transferred from prisoners to prisoners, and at the same time study the basic military theories we have compiled and train the professional qualities of grassroots commanders.

It is suggested that you divide the more than 600 people into four companies, and divide the former company commanders, company deputies, and instructors of the former teaching team who have been trained intensively for three months into each main battalion as battalion instructors and company-level commanders as soon as possible, and the remaining eight principal and deputy platoon commanders will be promoted to the principal and deputy company commanders of the newly established four teaching companies, and the original principal and deputy squad leaders will be promoted to the principal and deputy platoon commanders, and the task of reorganization must be completed within three days, and the list of promoted personnel at all levels will be reported to Lao Yang, and Lao Yang will summarize the promotion lists of the regimental headquarters and each battalion together into a meritorious report, and I will be responsible for the report within three days of getting the report. Submit to the division headquarters and complete the approval of the appointment. ”

"Yes!"

Qu Muchen replied with blazing eyes.

An Yi then turned to Gu Lao Er: "You will serve as the commander of the newly established fourth battalion, and you will also serve as the regiment's intelligence staff officer, so you can get ready." ”

Gu Lao Er was overjoyed: "You said it earlier!" I have to lead the brothers to send the remaining 1,000 soldiers to the division headquarters, hahaha......"

The brothers watched Gu Lao Er jump off the earth and fly on the horse, and laughed, knowing that this tiger general in the army was also satisfied, as long as the position of the regimental intelligence staff officer was retained, the special detachment with the name of "Guard Company" would naturally remain under Gu Changfeng's supervision, as long as he was happy, he could take him out on a mission at any time, and with the convenience of being close to the water, the brothers of the guard company could be transferred to the fourth battalion where he was the battalion commander at any time, how could he not be very happy?
