Chapter 418 Killing is as fast as thunder

At one o'clock at noon, a train towing thirteen stuffy tank wagons slowly drove out of Xuzhou North Railway Station and drove along the Longhai Railway to the direction of Dangshan in the west. After exiting the station, the speed of the train slowly increased, but it only mentioned that it was moving at a constant speed of twenty kilometers per hour, as inconspicuous as any previous train full of goods.

The wooden carriage in the middle of the train quietly opened the four narrow square windows on the left and right, and the light immediately illuminated the carriage, and Hu Jialin, the acting commander of the ** division, pointed to the map on the neatly stacked ammunition box and began to explain the tasks to the commanders of each regiment.

At the front of the carriage, Luo Lei, chief of the communications section, was waiting for two radio transmitters with three communications staff officers, and another interpreter with the rank of captain leaned back against the wagon and sat on the board of the car to interpret telegrams.

At the same time, a convoy composed of 25 military trucks marched on the highway northwest of Xuzhou, and the convoy that seemed to be walking slowly and leisurely, loaded with more than 1,200 officers and men of An Yi's special service battalion and engineer battalion, and An Yi, who had changed into a yellow-green general's uniform, and General Zhu Shaoliang, director of the General Office of the Central Military Commission, sat in the cab of the third military truck.

Thanks to the efforts of the brothers of the special brigade of the ** division, more than 21,000 officers and men of the 33rd Army who were routed by the enemy have gradually assembled in the area of Tulou Town, 24 kilometers northwest of Xuzhou, and more than 240 officers and men of the Second Brigade of the Military Police Corps of the headquarters have arrived ahead of schedule.

At 2:20 a.m., the smoke and dust were billowing and steaming from far and near, and the huge convoy full of officers and soldiers of the ** Division wearing camouflage uniforms drove all the way to the south of the town, and the officers and men of the 33rd Division, who had been crowded together or squatting or sitting, suddenly stood up and stirred in panic, not knowing what fate would be waiting for them in the next moment.

Major General Yingrongguang, deputy of the military police regiment under the big locust tree, saw An Yi get out of the car, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and gathered more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals to waste a lot of his thoughts, for fear that something would go wrong. At that moment, he tidied up his appearance, and led the nervous 33rd Army Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander Xu Fentao, Division Commander Pan Shanzhai and other more than a dozen generals and colonels to stride forward.

An Yi and Zhu Shaoliang stopped five or six meters away from the truck, looked around with a smile on their faces, and then saluted Ying Rongguang and stepped forward to shake hands cordially.

Ying Rongguang is An Yi's Whampoa brother, when he served as the commander of the special service company of the second division of the first army, An Yi had just graduated and entered the second division as the commander of the third company of the engineer, the relationship between the two has always been good, and the cooperation was also very pleasant, until An Yi served as the head of the ** regiment, the two gradually separated.

Ying Rongguang followed Liu Zhi all the way to the Northern Expedition to Shanghai to be promoted to colonel section chief, Commander-in-Chief Jiang reinstated the military police headquarters, Ying Rongguang was immediately transferred to the military police regiment as a major general regiment deputy, this time he was ordered to lead the second military police brigade to come ahead of schedule to rectify the deserters, he didn't know that the headquarters official who came to receive was his junior brother An Yi, and he didn't know that Commander-in-Chief Jiang had moved to kill.

Xu Fentao didn't know An Yi, seeing the tall and handsome young An Yi with a smile on his face, amiable, the originally tense heartstrings were greatly relaxed, although he knew that An Yi, who was famous all over the world, governed the army strictly and made great achievements, but he was not worried about what An Yi would do to him.

Xu Fentao was born in the green forest on the border of Hubei and Anhui, and two years ago he led 2,000 minions who robbed houses to join the revolutionary ranks, and General Bai Wenwei, who erected the revolutionary banner at that time, served as the deputy division commander. After two years of crusade in the east and west, the 33rd Army not only had few combat exploits, but was also disabled several times, but each time it was quickly rebuilt like an unbeatable cockroach. Although the quality of officers and soldiers is extremely low, and the military discipline is sloppy, and it is no different from the warlord troops in other places, but the commander in charge of the army is getting bigger and bigger, and after the commander-in-chief Chiang went to Nanjing, General Li Zongren came to power, and promoted his official position with a wave of his hand, and no boss punished him for his repeated defeats or opportunistic tricks. Therefore, Xu Fentao, who was getting stronger and stronger, did not sell the account of Zhang Keyao, the commander of the army who was also a member of the Cheng Revolution.

Zhang Keyao, who was overhead, dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and when there was no way, he could only follow the commander of the corps He Yaozu to do some staff work, and the 33rd Army was handed over to the deputy commander Xu Fentao to lead, but Zhang Keyao and He Yaozu did not expect that this Xu Fentao was so bad, and he continued to carry forward his opportunistic and greedy style of fear of death when he was notified and alerted by the headquarters in advance, and he was about to collapse.

Before, in order to preserve his strength, Xu Fentao ran when he encountered a tough battle, waited for the battle to wait and watched around, and when the opportunity came, he led his troops out of the mountain again, and continued to raise the revolutionary banner to swagger through the market, so that he could be promoted and make a fortune three times and twice, and naturally developed an arrogant character that no one in his eyes was. When they met for the first time today, Xu Fentao seemed to respect An Yi and Zhu Shaoliang on the surface, but in his heart he didn't think so.

After shaking hands with each other, Pan Shanzhai, the commander of the 72nd Division, stepped forward and said to An Yi with a look of shame:

"General An, I didn't expect to see you on such an occasion, I'm really shameless! In the first battle of Liuquan last year, the instructors led by his subordinates fought side by side with the general's ** division, and they still remember it vividly, and most of the officers and men of the 72nd Division under it are still in mind. ”

An Yi smiled heartily: "Brother Pan, you are too polite, although the Tenth Army was broken up in the Xuzhou counterattack in August last year, but the brothers of each department are still divided into our revolutionary army, and the Tenth Army has gone through hardships, and the banner is still standing, and the eldest brother Yang Shengzhi of the 29th Division of the original Tenth Army is now promoted to commander, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!" Among the various departments of Brother Pan's original Tenth Army, the troops are completely preserved!

By the way, do you remember Shi Zhen and Mo Ronggao? Later, the younger brother Jiangxi Shanggao met them, but Brother Shi and Brother Mo led more than 2,000 brothers back to Qianxi in October last year, and when they returned, they personally went to Nanchang to bid farewell to the younger brother. I heard that their team has now grown to more than 8,000 people, and a great situation has been created in western and northwest Guizhou, and life is not bad. ”

"Life is impermanent, you are the lifesaver of the two of them!" Pan Shanzhai was full of emotion.

Zhu Shaoliang, Ying Rongguang, Xu Fentao and more than a dozen generals around them didn't expect An Yi and Pan Shanzhai to have such a relationship, and when they saw the two talking affectionately, they all chuckled in agreement, and the atmosphere became extremely relaxed.

An Yi introduced Zhu Shaoliang's identity loudly with a kind smile on his face, Zhu Shaoliang nodded politely, took the folder handed by the adjutant, and loudly announced the headquarters order:

"Ladies and gentlemen, after being unanimously approved by the General Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army and submitted to the Central Military Commission for approval, An Yi is hereby appointed as the deputy commander of the Third Army of the First Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and is hereby appointed! Jiang Zhongzheng. ”

The generals who were standing neatly opposite each other exclaimed, and they all looked at An Yi beside Zhu Shaoliang.

An Yi smiled slightly, took off his white gloves unhurriedly, pulled out his pistol and slowly loaded it, took a step forward under the gaze of a stunned gaze, raised the gun and raised the pistol against Xu Fentao, who was taken aback and had no time to react, and the audience suddenly became as silent as death, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Ying Rongguang and the captain of the gendarmerie looked at An Yi who still had a smile on his face in disbelief, and suddenly found that An Yi had become so strange and awe-inspiring.

Zhu Shaoliang then loudly announced: "By the unanimous decision of the General Headquarters, in accordance with the law of our revolutionary army, Xu Fentao, deputy commander of the 33rd Army, who escaped from the battle, is sentenced to death and executed on the spot. It is hoped that all the officers and men of the army will learn a lesson, scrupulously perform their duties, and kill the enemy with all their might to serve the party and the state. Sincerely! Jiang Zhongzheng. ”

"Smack-"

An Yi pulled the trigger without hesitation, the bullet entered from Xu Fentao's eyebrows, pierced through the back of his head, and brought out a piece of blood mist and red and white things, Xu Fentao's head was tilted back sharply, and when he slowly fell, he still looked at An Yi in disbelief, not believing that An Yi really dared to shoot him.

Suddenly, a few crisp gunshots once again caused an exclamation at the scene, more than 20 meters behind the center of Xu Fentao's fall, Xu Fentao's guard ranks, the captain of the main and deputy guards and Xu Fentao's three henchmen just wanted to pull out their guns, they were accurately killed by bullets flying from nowhere, more than ten guards who put their hands on the holsters were so frightened that they didn't dare to move anymore, Qi Xiuping, the commander of the special agent battalion behind An Yi, led five hundred brothers who were like wolves and tigers to quickly surround them and disarm them, and none of the remaining sixty-seven guards dared to resist, In the blink of an eye, he was escorted to An Yi.

An Yi still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced at the sixty-seven guards one by one, wiped the blood from the muzzle of the gun with a white glove, and slowly put it into the holster: "Which of you is not convinced, step forward." ”

Most of the sixty-seven guards unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with An Yi's eyes, only thirteen of them gritted their teeth and stared at An Yi angrily, and one of the majors stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The surname An, you have the courage to kill us all!" ”

Under the horrified gaze of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, An Yi laughed heartily and stepped forward: "There is a kind!" However, you can only represent yourself, and you are not qualified to represent anyone, just like your loyal deputy commander Xu Fentao cannot represent my heroic revolutionary army soldiers! As a soldier, in the face of the enemy who escaped without fighting, and sent more than 80,000 brothers to the encirclement of the enemy, but he was complacent and shameless, Lao Tzu blushed for you!

Listen up...... At this moment, the friendly soldiers who are surrounded by the enemy because of your greed for life and fear of death are fighting hard against the enemy who has multiplied it, and every minute and every second someone dies because of your shameful escape. Are you still soldiers? Tell me, answer out loud, are you still men? ”

The officers and soldiers of the 33rd Army in the audience lowered their heads in shame, An Yi looked around, and then said loudly: "As the saying goes, shame and courage!" If you still have a little blood, a little shame, and think you're a man, lift up your heads and look at me! Summon your courage to fight back with me and take back your lost dignity! In the name of the deputy commander of the Third Army, I am now acting as the commander of the 33rd Army! Those who are willing to follow me in peace, take up your guns, and stand to the north! If you don't want to, please put down your gun, take off your belt, bullet bag and grenade, take off the military badge on your hat, and leave immediately, I will never be embarrassed for you! Now begin—"

The crowd suddenly surged on the wide field, and the dust was flying, Pan Shanzhai took the lead in roaring, leading his 72nd Division 7,000 officers and soldiers to the north firmly, followed by Zhang Keyao's deputy, Lei Yingpeng, deputy commander of the 71st Division, shouted the password, and led more than 6,000 brothers to walk quickly to the north to assemble, only Xu Fentao, who was also the division commander, the 70th Division turned around in a circle, and then more than 3,000 people put down their guns, untied their belts and took off their hats, and left gloomily under the guidance of the brothers of the ** Division Engineer Battalion, and the remaining 5,000 people gradually walked to the north, The gendarmerie brigade was rearranged under the supervision of the detachment.

An Yi stepped forward, signaled the brothers of his special battalion to let go of the sixty or so people of Xu Fentao's guards, looked at them and said loudly: "Listen, Lao Tzu only said it once, those who are willing to stay will immediately stand in the north, and those who are not willing to stay will stay where they are!" ”

Within seconds, more than fifty people obediently walked to the north, and the remaining eleven people were still standing motionless, while provoking An Yi with unruly gaze.

An Yi showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and slowly turned around, the battalion commander Qi Xiuping's battalion deputy Guo Si was holding up the machine gun and sweeping violently, "Da Da Da" After a shocking gunshot, there was no one alive in front of him, more than 100 brothers from the third company of the ** division engineer battalion pulled out the steel shovel and waved it on the spot, less than ten minutes, including the seventeen corpses in Xu Fentao, were thrown into a deep pit of one meter and a half, and the sweaty third company commander shouted, and more than 100 steel shovels were waved again, The 30-meter-long, one-meter-and-five-meter-deep pit was quickly filled, and the skilled engineer brothers also used shovels to level the ground, and looked at it as if they had never dug it before, and the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers who watched from afar were scattered, and their spines were chilling, and even Ying Rongguang was afraid of An Yi's iron-blooded methods.

An Yi turned around and walked to Zhu Shaoliang, who was full of sighs, and saluted: "Report to the general, An Yi has completed the orders of the General Headquarters and the Central Military Commission, please give instructions to the general!" ”

Zhu Shaoliang solemnly returned the salute: "It's done very well, General An has worked hard!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" An Yi grinned.

Zhu Shaoliang stepped forward and gave An Yi a light punch, and called Shang Ying Rongguang to lead the gendarmerie to return to his life by car.

An Yi led the two division commanders Pan Shanzhai and Lei Yingpeng to send the convoy away, whispered a few words to Qi Xiuping and Huang Hanqian, the commander of the engineer battalion, and returned to the big tree to hold a meeting of the division commanders and above.

Less than five minutes after the notice was issued, the chief and deputy commanders of all divisions and regiments all ran to report for duty, and no one dared to look at An Yi.

An Yi solemnly ordered everyone to sit on the ground, and just as he was about to speak, two horses galloped over, and two well-equipped special forces with oil paint on their faces in camouflage uniforms rode their horses in front of An Yi and flew off their horses: "An Jin, the captain of the first detachment, came to report!" ”

An Yi took the envelope handed by his younger brother An Jin, knocked on the steel helmet covered with camouflage cloth on his head affectionately, and said with a smile while opening the letterhead: "The beard gave you the promotion of the detachment leader, right?" ”

"Brother, you underestimate me too much, I was recommended by the brothers and appointed by Deputy Master Hu, and the younger brother is by no means the kind of person who relies on relationships to climb up." An Jin pouted and replied, leaving dozens of generals on the side stunned.

An Yi nodded after reading the letter: "Understood, everything is going according to plan, you take your detachment's radio team away, don't worry about me, wait for the artillery regiment and the teaching regiment to come over, and my communication will be fine!" ”

"Yes! The subordinates have taken their leave! ”

An Jin saluted, turned around and ran out of two steps to fly on the horse, and the two horses went all the way north under the stunned gaze of more than 10,000 soldiers.

An Yi put away the envelope and turned to dozens of generals: "Everyone, from now on, I will march and fight with you, your position will remain the same, and the team under your command will remain the same, as long as you obey the order and fight bravely, after this battle, I will report to the General Headquarters in the name of the deputy commander of the corps to ask for merit for you, and give priority to the right of the chief of staff of the former enemy's general headquarters to replenish your troops and rebuild a rejuvenated 33rd Army!" My artillery regiment, teaching regiment, special service company, guard company, and logistics section will be here within two hours to temporarily join the combat ranks of the 33rd Army and fight side by side with you and all the officers and men of the army. Below I command......"

All the generals jumped up and stood respectfully, and An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "I order: temporarily cancel the 70th Division, and the officers and men of the 70th Division will be evenly divided into the 72nd Division of Commander Pan and the 71st Division of Commander Lei, so as to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the two divisions, and the two division commanders will be fully responsible for receiving and arranging the officers and men of the 70th Division, and the ranks and positions of the officers and soldiers will remain the same; Second, due to the limited number of weapons and the uneven physical fitness of the soldiers, please select the unqualified soldiers immediately after returning and hand them over to my brothers in the engineer battalion to be responsible for arranging, these brothers will receive a month's salary, and then discharged, and the weapons left behind will be quickly replenished to your two divisions, this work must be completed within two hours, do you have any questions? ”

"Nope!"

All the generals replied in unison, and a gratifying change had taken place in their mental outlook.

An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, this is the real revolutionary soldier!" Xu Fentao's ill-gotten gains have been confiscated by my guards, and the specific amount is still being liquidated, except for the monthly salary paid to each of the dismissed brothers, the remaining money will be divided equally between your two divisions, and I have only one request here, that is, to be fair and just when distributing, do you have any different opinions? ”

"Nope!"

The voices of the generals were loud, and they were all in high spirits, and they were in awe of An Yi.
