Chapter 1063 Confidence Comes from Strength

From the early morning of January 7 Zunyi was occupied by the Red Army, the whole Guizhou rumors, grass and trees are soldiers, under the influence of the perennial propaganda of the government, *** is tantamount to the flood beast of the communist wife, as long as the family has a little savings or land, or the wife and daughter are more beautiful, all have great prejudice and fear of the Red Army, more and more landlords rich peasants and well-off families fled from Guizhou to take refuge.

Among them, the largest number of people fled to the Xufu and Luzhou areas in southern Sichuan, and all kinds of rumors and a terrifying atmosphere also spread with the fleeing crowd.

In the southern Sichuan region, which is the closest to Guizhou, due to the prestige established by the government and the An Jiajun over the past few years, there has not been any large-scale panic, but on the contrary, Chongqing, Chengdu, and other places farther away are full of pessimistic and frightening atmosphere, and rumors that the Red Army is attacking and occupying Sichuan from the north and south to open up a base area are becoming more and more popular, and countless wealthy businessmen and wealthy officials have quickly deposited their money in the most secure southwest bank, or simply remitted it to Shanghai and Nanjing, and there is no safe and stable social order in the entire eastern Sichuan and Chengdu areas. Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui were a little helpless for a while.

An Yi and his generals, who held the meeting for two consecutive days, quickly realized the negative impact of this situation on southern Sichuan, and after discussion, they not only clarified right and wrong and reassured the people through several channels of the South Sichuan Radio Station and major newspapers, but also gave full support to various large-scale cultural activities and series of celebrations originally planned by various government departments from the New Year to the Spring Festival, and used propaganda and practical actions to let the people see the great confidence of the army and the government and minimize the negative impact.

An Yi and dozens of his generals not only attended the annual calligraphy and painting exhibition held by the cultural and artistic circles in the southwest, visited major factories and commodity trading markets, but also held their respective children and led their wives to watch the literary and artistic performances carried out by various social literary and artistic groups and the Anjiajun Art Troupe.

However, a series of major events that happened in the past few days outside southern Sichuan were closely watched by the seemingly relaxed generals, and every late night, An Yi would organize a meeting of the brothers for the various situations and battlefield situations that occurred that day, Hu Jialin and other former brothers returned to the familiar military atmosphere of the year, and the generals such as Zhang Chengzhu, Yang Jiuxiao, Li Jinlong, and Xiao Wu, who had newly joined the An Jiajun sequence, were also deeply affected and spoke enthusiastically, and no one regarded themselves as outsiders.

On the day when the main force of the Red Army occupied Zunyi, the headquarters of the Second Army Corps led by Xue Yue drove into Guiyang City at the same time, and when the chaotic military and political circles in Guizhou were mixed, the eight divisions of the Second Army Corps rumbled into Guiyang, among them, Wu Qiwei's column was stationed in the counties east of Guiyang, and immediately set up defenses nervously, and Zhou Hunyuan's column went around the city, drove to the west and north of the city, and quickly took over the position of the Guizhou army and the surrounding important towns. The morale-like descendants of the division marched into the city in a mighty way, effortlessly took control of the strategic points in the city, and announced that they would lead the defense of Guiyang and the suppression of the Communist Party from now on according to the orders of the central government, and the various units of the Guizhou army, which had been defeated by the Red Army, were already demoralized and panicked, and three of the five main regiments left by Hou Zhi's responsibility suddenly raised the banner of the Red Army to join the ranks of the Red Army, and the Guizhou Army was completely disintegrated and scattered, who would dare to say nothing to the imposing Central Army?

In this way, Guizhou fell into the hands of the central government and Chiang Kai-shek in the blink of an eye, and Mao Guangxiang and Wang Jialie lost their army and territory, and became rootless wanderers.

The brothers of An Jiajun deeply admired An Yi's accurate judgment, and at the same time unified their thinking more firmly-they must not let a single soldier of the Central Army enter their own territory, otherwise they will end up as miserable as the Qian Army.

The news of Xue Yue's army's smooth occupation of Guiyang was reported in a timely manner by the Central Radio Station and the South Sichuan Radio Station, and the warlords of Guangxi and Guangxi were not far behind under shock, and repeatedly called the central authorities, asking for "assistance to the Guizhou army and the suppression of bandits in Guizhou." Chiang Kai-shek, who had a bamboo in his chest, smiled and was not in a hurry, and after all the brilliant columns entered Guizhou and occupied various strategic places, he gladly sent a telegram to Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Chen Jitang, and others, agreeing that the troops of Guangxi and Guangxi would enter Guizhou to help in the war and jointly destroy the main force of the Red Army.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, who had already sent troops into Guizhou, once again transferred Liao Lei's Seventh Army in northern Guizhou to various parts of southern Guizhou in order to consolidate the original gains, but Chen Jitang scolded and scolded because he could not obtain benefits because of the long distance, and in a hurry, he sent Zhang Da, deputy commander of the Second Army, to lead three divisions of the Guangdong Army to rush to the southeast of Guizhou to see what advantages could be taken.

Prior to this, Zhang Hongluan's 44th Army had quietly recovered the counties in northeastern Guizhou that had been abandoned, and Zhu Peide, the king of Yunnan, who was waiting for him, ordered Zhu Shigui to lead a division to quietly reinforce the security forces on the front line of the Yunnan-Guizhou border, and first firmly occupy the territory.

The Red Army did not care about the dispatch of troops, quickly occupied and controlled the strategic choke point between Zunyi and Tongzi in one fell swoop, Loushan Pass, and firmly blocked the local army in northern Qianbei from Zunyi, and now there is only one division of more than 8,000 people left in the 20th Army of the Huang Han Dynasty received the order of the Central Committee of the Red Army, with the mind of the first person to take into account the overall situation and the spirit of dedication to the revolutionary cause, the anger full of anger was vented on the Qianjun army in the Tongzi area, and it took only one and a half days to conquer Tongzi County and most of the surrounding areas in one fell swoop. The former enemy commander of the Qianjun army, Hou Zhidan, was terrified and fled to Huairen without his life.

Huang Han's four main regiments immediately ceded Tongzi County for friendly forces, quickly marched forward, and launched close vigilance against the Anjia Army on the border between Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guizhou, so as to ensure the rest and recuperation of the main force of the Central Red Army and the safe conduct of important meetings of the Party Central Committee.

The week-long secret military meeting of the An Yi group ended quickly, and during these seven days, all departments unified their thinking and understanding, and in the current complicated situation, the main purpose was to ensure the autonomy of southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan and the surrounding allies. Hu Jialin and the generals of the 17th Army cherished this time of reunion with their families very much, and spent the last three days almost with their families in the villa area separated from the West Garden.

Yang Jiuxiao, Zhang Chengzhu, Li Jinlong, Xiao Wu and other generals who have newly joined the sequence of the Anjia Army are very fond of the beautiful and well-equipped family compound located at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, and are full of praise for dozens of villas with unique styles and very practical villas, and they are all clearly aware that once a full-scale war breaks out between China and Japan, only the city of Syria, where the headquarters of the Anjia Army is located, is the safest, and it is not only a veritable rear, but also the most advanced aircraft factory and air base in the country. At the same time, the density of anti-aircraft artillery fire was second to none, and the Japanese army did not want to take advantage of it at all. It's just that most of their family members still choose to stay in their hometown in the north, and they are not willing to leave their homeland and move to southern Sichuan for a while, but An Yi has already left a place for every brother, and dozens of newly built villas in the compound are about to be capped.

An Yi said lightly that everyone will be able to use it soon, otherwise the war in North China and East China will be together, and if you don't settle your parents, relatives, brothers and sisters, how can you lead the troops to fight wholeheartedly?

Among the old brothers from An Yi's *** division, only Lu Yixuan's parents like the climate and lifestyle of Nanjing, and they still live in Houzai Lane, and I am afraid that they will not be able to move for a while, and all the other brothers' families have already lived in the compound under Cuiping Mountain. The life of the old people is rich and colorful, there are special chess and card rooms and dancing places, in their spare time, they like to go to the West Garden across the compound of the institute to visit a door, visit a group of children of An Yi, and the enthusiastic Aunt Ma, Wu Ma and so on to chat about Lala's homework, the old people also organized their own clubs, often carry out various social welfare activities, and live a very fulfilling and freehand life.

Hu Jialin, Xia Jian and other military brothers over the holiday, reluctant to return to their respective troops, An Yi and Yang Bin and other headquarters personnel, still maintain a relaxed attitude, frequent in and out of the venue of major cultural activities, to attend the first "treasure appreciation" activity in the southwest hosted by the Cultural Relics Protection Committee led by Gong Qian, An Yi personally raised a card at the auction to buy a large tripod and four pieces of ancient jade in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the newspaper and radio station to promote the rendering, for a time by the southwest provinces as a good story.

The people of southern Sichuan saw that their commanders and government officials at all levels were so calm and calm, and the panic in their hearts also dissipated, and they all said that as long as there is An Jiajun, as long as there is a government led by General An Yi, there is no need to worry about anything.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had freed up his hands from Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Jiangxi, sent six divisions of the Central Army to Chongqing and Chengdu in one go, and the pressure on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army suddenly increased greatly, and under the joint attack of the Central Army and the Sichuan Army, it retreated step by step. All walks of life in Sichuan saw that the southern part of Sichuan was so relieved, and the Red Army in northern Sichuan was also repulsed, and the panicked hearts finally calmed down, and social order was gradually restored.

Dahe Town, 20 kilometers north of Tongzi County, is located on the main traffic road of Sichuan and Guizhou, and then north is the line of Nanchuan and Qijiang where the Anjia Army is heavily stationed, and it is also the strategic center of the Sichuan-Guizhou border.

Li Xiaolong, the newly appointed political commissar of the army, showed magnanimity and magnanimity in the nearly 10 days of fighting, and on several occasions he took the lead and set an example; when he was free from battle, he either went down to the grassroots level to express his condolences to the soldiers, or frankly exchanged views with commanders at all levels.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, as he had done a few days ago, as long as he was not assisting Huang Han in commanding the battle or marching in a hurry, he would come to the telecommunications room and listen to the news of the South Sichuan Radio Station with Huang Han, Liu Ziyuan, and Du Qiliang, and then have a heated discussion on the news revealed in it and the military situation reported by his superiors.

As soon as Li Xiaolong entered the West Wing today, he saw Huang Han shaving off his beard that he hadn't shaved for ten days, and he was smiling a cigarette on his mouth, and his expression was much more relaxed.

Li Xiaolong was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that Huang Han had completely let go of his ideological baggage, and was no longer obsessed with the chagrin and dissatisfaction of his troops being half drawn out, although Huang Han's self-control ability was amazing, and there was no gaffe and anger after listening to Li Xiaolong read out the document on the division of troops that day, but Li Xiaolong still saw the impact of this news on this iron-clad general from Huang Han's tearful eyes and slightly trembling body.

Li Xiaolong will never forget the morning of the division of troops, Huang Han gathered more than 8,000 brothers of the 41st Division under his command, told the soldiers in the most concise and simple language about the grim situation now, and finally shouted the slogan of defending the Party Central Committee, and finally more than 8,000 soldiers shouted slogans and left, and the scene of turning back three times in one step made all the officers and men of the 20th Army shed tears, and Liu Ziyuan, the deputy commander of the army, wept silently, and only Huang Han stood high on the ridge. With a grim expression, he looked at the marching procession in the south without saying a word.

After listening to the news and discussing it, Huang Han raised his head and threw Li Xiaolong a cigarette: "Go out for a walk?" ”

"Good!"

Li Xiaolong lit a cigarette, patted Chang Sheng, the commander of the communications company, on the shoulder, took the pack of cigarettes he gave him, and said thank you.

Walking to the bluestone slab by the river, the two stopped, Huang Han tightened the collar of his coat, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of so much news broadcast by South Sichuan Radio today?" ”

Li Xiaolong refilled a cigarette again, took a few puffs, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "An Yi is cunning!" actually ran to comfort the soldiers of the art troupe, and took a photo with the ballet dancers of Belarus, tsk....... this grandson is really a fucking master of psychological warfare, more insidious and cunning than during the Northern Expedition. ”

"Wait! Hearing you say this, it's like knowing An Yi? Huang Han asked in surprise.

Li Xiaolong nodded, and looked up at the starry sky again: "Yes!" I knew him, and I got acquainted with him back when he was a model battalion commander. Before He Shengqiao, I joined his army in Xianning, but unfortunately as soon as I entered, he found out that I was a party member, this person is very cunning, his eyes are very sharp, and he has not given me a good face since then, Lao Tzu is a dignified college student in the army, and he actually got him to raise a horse for a few months, grandma's! ”

Huang Han was even more surprised: "This is the case, no wonder you are so familiar with the generals of the An Jiajun...... At that time, I was still at the Whampoa Military Academy, and I only went north after defeating Wuhan...... You joined the Northern Expedition much earlier than me! Lao Li, tell me what happened? Why did you leave the Model Battalion and leave the Anjia Army? ”

Li Xiaolong nodded, and described how he entered the model battalion, how he was suppressed by An Yi and received Yin Jinan's encouragement, how he was stationed in Tonggu and saw the bandit leader Gu Changfeng for the first time, how An Yi skillfully and shockingly defeated Fengxin, how An Yi's *** regiment was upgraded to a *** division after he left An Yi's troops, and then to An Yi's generous rescue after he was accidentally arrested in Nanjing, and how he did business with An Yi's old Nanchang after arriving at the Central Red Army and smuggled contraband, etc. even said the shooting training materials that An Yi gave him, and the words were full of ups and downs, mixed joys and sorrows, and Huang Han was dumbfounded when he heard it.

"It turns out that you and An Yi have such a relationship...... No wonder I saw in you a style and bearing that is completely different from other political work cadres in the army, your experience is so rich! Huang Han sighed sincerely.

Li Xiaolong shook his head: "What about you?" I saw in the archives of the headquarters that you and An Yi knew each other when they were at the Whampoa Military Academy, what do you think of him? ”

Huang Han had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. From the time he heard the news that Chen Dingyuan was shot, he finally understood An Yi's painstaking efforts thoroughly, and he was buried with infinite gratitude in his heart, and at the same time, he also knew that An Yi gave the troops a map and a code book, which meant that An Yi would never contact him again. Huang Han's heart even gave birth to bursts of bitterness and sadness because of this, although the Tao is different, but An Yi is so affectionate and righteous, such a deep friendship, so that Huang Han is extremely grateful, and he faintly treats An Yi as his own brother in his heart.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Han said quietly: "I admire An Yi very much, he is the most talented military general I have seen in my life, and he is also a strategic, far-sighted person, although we have different positions with each other, but we cannot deny his great contribution to the country and the people because of this, you should also understand that from your description just now, I also heard your emotions."

However, he is also an extremely terrible enemy, take him after shooting Comrade Chen Dingyuan and quickly adjust the whole line of defense, his actions are very fast and terrifying, what is even more frightening is that from now on, we can no longer know his army and the deployment of the Shizhen Department of Qianxi, it is estimated that this will also put a lot of pressure on the central government in the judgment of the overall situation, after all, the troops of Anjia Army and Qianxi and Xiangxi are too fierce, and they all fought very well in the War of Resistance in Shanghai and the Great Wall, which even Chiang Kai-shek has to admire, Not to mention the various departments of the Central Army, so we must attach great importance to it. ”

"Your analysis is correct, and that's what worries me the most."

Li Xiaolong paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "There is something to pay attention to in the future, we brothers and sons can comment on An Yi in private, and on other occasions, you must not say what you just said, or say any words of praise or sympathy for An Yi, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable...... I believe you will not forget how you were wronged and victimized in the first place, eat a trench and grow wise, and you must not commit it again! ”

Huang Han smiled slightly, patted Li Xiaolong's shoulder gratefully, didn't say anything, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Xiaolong, and the two of them lit it beautifully together with the flames.

From this moment on, the two hearts moved from mutual defense to mutual understanding and integration.
