At noon on the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, after Zhu Peide returned to Kunming after a meeting, An Yi also quietly moved out of the Jiangnan Hotel and lived in the military guest house in Nanchang to avoid more and more reporters' endless interview requests.

The battle in Xikang was as expected by An Yi and Ge Jingen, and the battle ended at 1 o'clock at noon on the 10th day of the Lunar New Year. Out of political needs, Liu Wenhui doubled the number of rebels annihilated in a nationwide war report, only reporting that more than 4,000 enemies had been annihilated, but the number of rebels captured was as high as more than 700, of which as many as 11 were "unknown people." These 11 unknown people were the British advisers who were captured after being wounded, and four of them were seriously injured and were estimated to be on the verge of dying.

Although An Yi was sincerely pleased that Liu Wenhui had won this great victory, he was also deeply saddened by the more than 3,200 officers and men of the Sichuan Army who died in this battle, and six of them were special elites of the An Jiajun who undertook the task of reconnaissance and shooting.

After dinner, An Yi was ordered to rush to Chiang Kai-shek's office to negotiate the disposal of prisoners of the Chuankang border guards, and unexpectedly saw the young marshal Zhang Xueliang who had arrived quietly.

Zhang Xueliang had already agreed to go to Wuhan to command the campaign to suppress the Communists, and two of the three armies of the Northeast Army stationed in North China had already been transferred south, and the reason why one army was still left behind on the grounds that it needed time to deal with the aftermath was obviously that the young marshal and the officers and men of the Northeast were reluctant to leave the Pingjin area, which was rich in tax resources.

The young marshal saw that An Yi was very enthusiastic, and he had learned of Liu Wenhui's success from his righteous brother Chiang Kai-shek, and from the praise of Liu Wenhui and the Chuankang border guards in the major newspapers across the country in the past few days, the young marshal also felt a lot of emotion. The young marshal knew that An Yi had come to report the battle situation to Chiang Kai-shek and study the disposal of prisoners of war, so he stayed to listen to the details of the battle, after all, resisting such a long-faced thing against foreign enemies was somewhat envied by the young marshal who lost the northeast.

According to the content of the battle report sent by Zhao Dongquan, An Yi briefly reported to Chiang Kai-shek, but completely concealed the before and after Zhao Dongquan and his party participated in the war, and attributed all the credit to Liu Wenhui and the officers and men of the Chuankang Border Army, and finally An Yi talked about the prisoner issue: "...... The eleven captured British advisers were basically wounded, and four of them were seriously wounded, and I am afraid that they will not be able to be saved, and General Liu Ziqian plans to secretly escort the remaining seven to Chengdu for detention.

"As for how to deal with the rebels, the students thought that it would be better to leave it to the border guards to decide for themselves, and it was better for the General Staff Headquarters and the Military Commission departments not to intervene. This battle still nominally belongs to our own internal counterinsurgency, and this time General Liu Ziqian readily obeyed the instructions of the rector and did not disclose the identities and details of the 11 British advisers to the outside world, which is estimated to be what the British could not ask for.

"In this way, how to deal with the issue of rebel prisoners is much simpler, the British themselves can't wipe their butts clean, where is the qualification and courage to accuse what human rights, what humanitarianism to talk about?"

The young marshal was immediately happy, he never thought that anyone would dare to speak so casually in front of Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek had long been accustomed to An Yi's style, and he nodded and adopted An Yi's opinion: "You are right, we didn't help us in this battle, but the relevant rewards will definitely be made soon, not only spiritually, but materially." I have instructed Minister Kong to allocate 1 million yuan as soon as possible to give the Chuankang Border Guards a substantial reward, so that the whole army and the people of the whole country can see the clear attitude and firm stand of our central authorities. ”

"I believe that General Liu Ziqian and the Chuankang border guards will be extremely grateful to the principal."

An Yi's words were not a compliment, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek's squeezing out of one million at a time when military spending was so tight was a very rare thing, which was enough to show Chiang Kai-shek's satisfaction with this war and fully affirmed the great significance of this war. It is very likely that Chiang Kai-shek will use this battle to stimulate the suppression of the communist armies, so as to motivate the armies to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and it is at this time that the brave men will be rewarded heavily.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while, and then asked, "By the way, how is the progress of the investigation in southern Yunnan?" ”

"Basically, the facts have been clarified, and it is indeed the Wa self-defense army in the three border counties that did it, but ......" An Yi stopped here and looked at Chiang Kai-shek very worriedly.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned: "But what? What's so hard to say? ”

An Yi no longer hesitated: "Principal, Zhan Huanqi, the commander of Yunnan Provincial Security, called the students, and the British planes have been frequently carrying out reconnaissance and provocations in the skies over western Yunnan since the rain stopped yesterday afternoon. At noon today, the 26 th Army in southern Yunnan also reported the same situation, and pointed out that British planes had entered China's airspace for as much as 20 kilometers. The students have strictly ordered the 4th Air Regiment stationed in southern Yunnan not to cause conflicts, let alone exchange fire, and only need to be on strict alert in our airspace. Again, at four o'clock this afternoon, my father-in-law suddenly sent an urgent telegram to the students from Nanyang, saying that the Chinese businessmen in Yangon had called him and told him that two days earlier, three large British transport ships had docked, and nearly 10,000 British officers and men had disembarked from the ships to unload a large number of weapons and equipment and heavy artillery towed by vehicles. Since the Chinese businessmen in Yangon have no military knowledge and do not dare to inquire about the situation rashly, we do not yet know the number of this part of the British ** team, but we can conclude that this is the main division of the British army from India, and they are likely to have quickly moved north. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face changed, and his brows tightened: "Is the information reliable?" ”

"It should be credible, and from the sorties of British aircraft in the past two days, we can conclude that these fighters are no less than one attack group, numbering between twenty-eight and thirty-six, and that the airfields stationed are Lashio and Myitkyina, inferred from the radius of their activity." An Yi replied.

Chiang Kai-shek stood up very solemnly, and the young marshal also showed a worried look.

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a moment, walked to An Yi's side, and asked in a low voice: "Can we judge from this that the British army may launch a large-scale military retaliation in western or southern Yunnan?" ”

"It is entirely possible that the generals of the British Army in India are all empty-eyed, and they have just won a counterinsurgency victory in the whole of India at the beginning of last year, and they are at a time when they are very arrogant and arrogant, and the students are worried that even if the British government does not want Sino-British relations to deteriorate, the colonial troops in India and Burma will attack us for various reasons, and they have just been defeated in the Sichuan-Tibet border area, and they urgently need to find a breakthrough to vent, and at present, it seems that their only choice can only be the Sino-Burmese border.

"The conditions on the Sichuan-Tibet side are too bad, the British army is a thief and has no thief's courage, without months of adaptive training, if the British army rashly enters the plateau area, it is difficult to even breathe, plus the rebels were annihilated by General Liu Ziqian this time, and if you want to reorganize a new army, you can't do it in two years, and the Sino-Burmese border is not constrained by the harsh environment and insufficient troops, and the British army can casually draw out a few divisions of the Burmese army to launch a surprise attack on us." An Yi elaborated on the reasons for his analysis.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded again and again: "In this case, we must make full military preparations." However, I want to give top priority to diplomatic mediation, and I am very worried that after a fight breaks out on the Sino-Burmese border, the Japanese Kwantung Army will take the opportunity to attack. The situation in North China is not optimistic, if there is another Great Wall War of Resistance, not to mention that we will suffer from the enemy in the north and south, and we will have to deal with the ** army in the middle, which is very dangerous! Think about it, are we capable of dealing with this kind of internal and external difficulties and the pressure of fighting on three fronts? ”

An Yi hesitated, gritted his teeth and whispered: "If the principal trusts the students, he will hand over the China-Myanmar border to the students to deal with, even if the students finish all the troops and empty their pockets, they will never let the Anglo-Burmese army occupy an inch of the country!" ”

"No! Absolutely not! ”

Chiang Kai-shek categorically vetoed: "An Yi, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's not that I don't believe in the two armies under your command and General Yizhi's Dian army, but from the perspective of the overall situation, I have to weigh the possible diplomatic isolation." is still the same sentence, the outside must first be inside! Only by eliminating the first place, we have the same external capital, in order to completely solve the crisis of the enemy, internal and external difficulties, you must have a clear understanding of this, must not be brave for a while, and ignore the overall situation of the party and the state, otherwise, will become the sinner of the country, the nation and our party. ”

An Yi endured the anger in his heart: "So, what should I do?" ”

"Good offices! We believe that there will always be a way to resolve the situation by all diplomatic means to stop the further deterioration of the situation, and that temporary compromises will be endured when necessary. "Chiang Kai-shek has already made up his mind.

"So, what if the British insist on going their own way? Do you not dare to shoot back as they invade our land and slaughter our people? An Yi's whole person was on the verge of eruption, and asked in a deep voice again.

Chiang Kai-shek did not answer, his face changed a few times, and he walked back and sat down heavily: "If you really get to that point, you can only rise up and resist, but before that, you must not talk lightly about diplomatic warfare." ”

An Yi's heart eased and nodded slightly: "Student understands!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek thought that An Yi really understood, waved his hand with satisfaction, and ordered: "In the past two days, Chinese and foreign reporters have come one after another, surrounding the camp to make such and such requests for interviews, making the Political Department and the Secretariat unable to work, and they are overwhelmed.

"I have decided to hold a press conference tomorrow morning in the name of the Suppression of Bandit Command, at which General Ming Wei (Cao Haosen), vice minister of military and political affairs, and General Kanhou (Ge Jingen), deputy chief of staff, will report on the situation of encircling and suppressing the communist army, and you will report on the situation of Xikang's suppression of the rebellion. After you go back, get ready, tomorrow morning, I will ask Deng Wenyi to send you the speech requirements and basic outline, you have to control your stinky temper, understand? ”
