Chapter 1050 tells you why

After two expansions, Yichang Airport has become an airport covering an area of more than 500 acres and has two 1,500-meter cement runways, behind the apron is a row of hangars that can accommodate 40 fighters, and the original Yichang garrison brigade headquarters is far away from each other, connected by an 800-meter-long cement road, and both sides of the road are neatly manicured lawns. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two V-shaped runways, extending from the apron to the north and northeast, the end of one extends to the edge of the garrison brigade camp on the bank of the Yangtze River, and the other extends to the edge of the two new villages for immigrants.

The design of the whole airport draws on the experience of Minjiang Airport and Nanchang Airport, with its own independent oil depot, maintenance workshop and reserve warehouse, whether it is safety or comprehensive level, it has been far above Nanchang Airport, second only to Minjiang Airport, the base camp of the Anjia Army Air Force, and the newly completed Simao Airport of the Fourth Air Regiment.

The pond swamp that was originally everywhere around the airport has become a flat vegetable field and fertile field, and the rapeseed planted in nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land after the harvest is growing well. The trees that have grown for more than 100 years on the low slope and low hill are well preserved, and the road for the villagers to enter and exit is also a cement road built by the garrison of the Anjia Army free of charge, along the edge of the airport leads directly to the big wharf, and the two sides of the road are almost all preserved large willow trees and various fruit trees that have been planted for three years, the officers and soldiers of a guard battalion stationed in the southeast corner have established a good military-civilian relationship with the people in the village, and the joint defense team organized by the surrounding villages has almost become a semi-militarized supernumerary unit of the Anjia Army. He has long received training and political and cultural education from the garrison of the Anjia Army.

In the past two years, none of the strangers who tried to approach the airport and the military zone could escape, and once an unfamiliar face appeared or there was any other disturbance, the guard unit was always able to receive the villagers' report as soon as possible, and the spirit of the "model battalion" of the An Jia Army was redoubled by the people, and it also gained family affection and trust.

On the day when the garrison brigade, which had been stationed for four years, changed its guard three and a half months ago, more than 3,000 fathers and elders in the surrounding villages and thousands of people from all walks of life who had made a special trip to Yichang City on the other side of the river to see off the barracks and wharves were crowded, and with tears in their eyes, people watched the handover ceremony between the garrison brigade and the first marine brigade of the river defense unit, and they were reluctant to give up the 6,000 officers and men of the garrison brigade.

All the newspapers in the country and several major newspapers in Europe and the United States have enthusiastically reported on this, praising the outstanding performance of the An Jiajun and the popularity of the people, and Chiang Kai-shek also once again called on the whole team to learn the "model battalion spirit", close military-civilian relations, and jointly build national defense.

After seeing off the brothers of the garrison brigade, they immediately convened a meeting of officers at and above the company level of the First Marine Brigade, the Second Air Regiment, and the Guard Regiment directly under their command, and urged and encouraged the officers and men under their command to maintain and carry forward the "spirit of the model battalion," worthy of the title of the people's soldiers, and to live up to the ardent expectations of the people of the whole country and Commander An Yi.

Zhan Zhi, director of the Political Department, solemnly announced An Yi's commendation order to everyone: The Yichang Garrison Brigade has won the respect of the officers and men of the army and the support of the people for its outstanding performance due to its outstanding performance, the officers and men of the whole brigade have been awarded the first level of promotion, the garrison brigade has been expanded to the 24th Army instructor, and the commander of the garrison brigade, Colonel Wei Yihang, has been promoted to the instructor of the major general and division commander, and has been sent to the Army University for further study with a salary.

On the afternoon of 18 November, An Yi, accompanied by Cheng Chengguang, Gu Changfeng, Huang Yuyi, Lin Fei, and other generals, once again came to the newly renovated airport to inspect the surrounding guard posts and express his condolences to his grassroots officers and soldiers.

After walking a circle, the group climbed to the watchtower in the northeast corner bordering the Yangtze River.

An Yi looked at Yichang City on the other side of the river, then looked at the two quiet villages, the newly established anti-aircraft artillery position on the low slope in the southeast, and finally stared at the Yangtze River rolling east, the little bit of anger in his heart disappeared completely, and he was relieved to feel the heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Commander, you won't leave when you come back this time, will you?" Huang Yuyiguang asked in a low voice.

An Yi turned his head and said with a smile: "I don't want to leave, but I still have to go to Nanjing on the ninth of next month to attend the Fifth Session of the Fourth Central Committee. ”

The brothers were greatly excited when they heard this, and immediately congratulated An Yi, and entering the Central Executive Committee is equivalent to entering the highest decision-making level of the Kuomintang Central Committee and the central government; although Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Zhu Peide do not have the ability to directly decide the direction of the country, and have been outside the core of the country under the exclusion and defense of Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, and others, they are able to better protect their own interests precisely because they retain the title and qualification of the Central Executive Committee. They can rightfully and loudly say "no" to the central government and Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Ching-wei, and others in accordance with the rights granted to them by the party constitution and the constitution, and even make a big fuss when they are annoyed, and use the name of the Central Executive Committee to put forward such and such opinions, and even easily and justifiably influence the military and political decision-making and development direction of a province.

Gu Changfeng thought further, he knew that many people in the Central Executive Committee did not have territory, such as Sun Ke, Yu Youren, Ding Weifen and others were typical, the important title of Central Executive Committee Member in the hands of these people, only represented a political qualification, and did not have much decision-making power, only by mastering a strong army and occupying important territory could this title be worthy of its name and play the greatest role.

Therefore, Gu Changfeng is very aware of the great significance of An Yi's promotion, and gradually understands the ultimate reason why An Yi has been swallowing his anger for more than half a year.

"Tiger Head, what's the matter with you? Laughing so lewdly? ”

Lu Guang was quite surprised by Gu Changfeng's expression, as long as Gu Changfeng showed this expression, something would usually happen.

All the brothers looked at Gu Changfeng, and Gu Changfeng replied with a big grin: "I was thinking, although Chen Jitang, Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang, and Liu Wenhui are all local warlords with old qualifications, but so far, they have not been able to enter the Central Executive Committee, the highest authority of the party-state.

"Think about it, why is the position of Shanxi, Guangxi and Yunnan so stable? This is not only the ability of Yan Baichuan, Li Delin, and Zhu Yigong, but also the power of their Central Executive Committee members has also played a very important role; if they are not pleased, they can exercise their veto power over any decision of the Central Committee at any time, and they can use the power in their hands in a grand manner, and no one can do anything about him. As long as they do not split the country and do not take the initiative to provoke a civil war, no one can arbitrarily remove the Central Executive Committee from their posts, and those in power must solicit opinions in a friendly manner at every critical time. On the other hand, among Hu Hanmin's gang, who were excluded from the core of decision-making, three were members of the executive committee, and they scolded Lao Jiang and Wang Zhaoming in Hong Kong all day long, and Lao Jiang and Wang Zhaoming could only endure bitterly, fearing that they would win over Li Delin and other executive committee members, unite and set up a separate central committee, or simply adopt a non-cooperative attitude and obstruct the passage of various new policies. Therefore, the position of the Central Executive Committee is unacceptable, as long as it falls into the hands of the commander, we will have a huge amount of political capital, not to mention anything else, southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan are one more talisman! ”

The brothers' originally confused minds suddenly became clear, and then they thought of the huge pressure that An Yi had borne for the entire group, and finally understood why An Yi had been exploited for so long, still with a happy smile, and understood the huge purpose hidden behind An Yi's generous and selfless dedication.

An Yi's efforts and difficulties in swallowing his anger made the brothers extremely moved, and their eyes were different from those in the past.

An Yi's gratitude to Gu Changfeng and the brothers was also mixed, thinking of the complaints that appeared from time to time among the brothers, and the various efforts that some brothers said were good and happy, and his eyes were a little moist for a while. He shook his head and smiled, turned his body to the surging Yangtze River, raised his right hand and waved, as if he didn't care, but in fact, it was to hide the complicated feelings that were turning and lingering in his heart, so that the brothers would not see his weak side.

Only An Yi knew in his heart how much effort he had expended for the qualification of this Central Executive Committee, the alliance and compromise with Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, the covert financial support for Wang Jingwei through Nanyang, the joint attack on the Department of Political Science by the Chen brothers of the CC department, the strong support for the rise of Huang Shaohong, the representative of the neutral faction, to take charge of Zhejiang, the sponsorship of the opposition within the party through the Hong Kong side, and the strengthening of understanding and cooperation with Yan Xishan and Li Zongren in all aspects......

All these measures need to be completed in secret, and Chiang Kai-shek must not be alerted by the slightest flaw, which has today's reputation, today's expectations, and the view that anyone thinks is "natural", and An Yi's hard work in it, the huge pressure he endured, and even the misunderstanding brought by his brother, few people can understand and share it.

"Commander, how do you look at Jiang Shui's addiction? It's too windy, let's go down. Cheng Guang whispered.

An Yi nodded, motioned the brothers to walk down the watchtower together, returned the salute to the guards and soldiers, and then came to the open space, An Yi sent the other brothers away in a few words, leaving only Gu Changfeng and Cheng Guang to follow him and slowly walk back to the headquarters.

Gu Changfeng saw Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong walking ten meters away one after the other very naturally, and immediately realized that An Yi had a top-secret thing to say, "Commander, what's wrong?" ”

"Tiger head, let me ask you first, the battle with Huang Hanbu the day before yesterday, is the result really as brilliant as the Political Department announced?" An Yi asked quietly.

"Where is it, there are not so many at all, the Political Department has been exaggerating the number of enemies destroyed for propaganda needs, I am used to it, but the materials have really captured a lot, almost all of them are the batch that Huang Hanbu plundered from Zhongxian, most of them are heavy materials such as cloth and artillery shells, it is estimated that they want to take them away but the time is too late...... The more than 200 people who were annihilated by us this time were all new heroes from all walks of life who had recently joined them, and these robe brothers and green forest figures were unwilling to follow Huang Han's main force into the mountains again to endure hardships, and they hesitated a little to linger, but they were cleaned up by us.

When Gu Changfeng said this, he looked left and right, and then deliberately lowered his voice: "I personally interrogated the two captive leaders, confirmed a very important matter, and I was about to report to you that you came-according to the confession of the captive leader, Huang Hanbu hastily withdrew after suddenly receiving radio information, and Huang Hanbu has four new-style radio stations, and the Red Army commander who conveyed the order hurriedly explained that it was. I am very worried that our internal spies have not been cleared out, and that they are probably very well hidden, and that they are in our base camp, otherwise it would not have been possible to know my orders so quickly, let alone the rapid attack of the vanguard. ”

After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, his face was worried.

An Yi suddenly put his mind at ease, stopped and said apologetically: "There is something that I didn't tell you two before, in order to keep it secret, and to make the fake show as real, I didn't tell the two of you, and this is listed as the highest level secret by me, and only me, Lao Shen and Du Yi know about it at present, and today I want to tell you two on purpose." Just remember what you're done, it's top secret. ”

Cheng Guang and Gu Changfeng immediately straightened up and stared at An Yi, An Yi said in a low voice: "Everyone knows that Huang Han is my Huangpu junior brother, but I'm afraid no one knows that Huang Hanbu has been funded by me from the beginning, but I didn't expect this guy to be so capable...... As for the previous attacks on our transport convoys, in fact, Du Yi deliberately arranged them in order to provide them with supplies and supplies.

"I think so, as long as they toss around in the Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei regions for a day, they can avoid our army being transferred to other battlefields to fight against the Communist Party, so that our officers and men can always maintain vigilance and a sense of crisis, and only then can we leave a way back in the future. Tiger Head, I ordered Du Yi to inform Huang Han about your raid, but I didn't expect you, the bandit leader, to move so quickly, and found them so timely, and almost made a lose-lose situation......"

"Oh my God...... That's too much hanging, right? Gu Changfeng exclaimed.

Cheng Guang was stunned, and praised sincerely: "This Huang Han is a rare general!" It's a pity ......."

An Yi glanced around, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that in the next period, you must have seen the chairman's ambition for the entire southwest, in order to keep our foundation in southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, for the alliance brothers in Xiangxi, Qianxi and Yunnan, we also have to make good use of Huang Han's chess piece, although he believes in **, and he still follows the **Red Army without regrets, but he is very open-minded and intelligent, and broad-minded and far-sighted, and will not be our enemy at this time, therefore, We need to put on a good show, take advantage of the existence of the Huang Han Army, gain partial or temporary initiative, and forcefully crack down on any conspiracy against us, no matter where it comes from, for the fruits of the blood and sweat of the more than 200,000 soldiers of our Anjia Army, for the industrial and agricultural bases in southern Sichuan, Xiangxi, and Qianxi, and for the greatest suffering that is about to come for the country and the nation, we must cut off any black hand that reaches out, and keep the territory on which we depend. Do you all understand this? ”

"Got it!"

Gu Changfeng looked up to the sky and sighed, and Cheng Guang nodded heavily.

"Good! Go down for a while, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, Cheng Guang, you must control the upstream river defense, and the top priority to control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is Yichang! I intend to immediately set up a joint logistics command, with you concurrently serving as this commander and Bingyi as deputy commander, and drawing elite soldiers and strong generals from your two units to form a temporary command group. An Yi ordered in a low voice.

"Yes!"

An Yi turned to Gu Changfeng: "Tiger head, get ready, withdraw to southern Sichuan, and the defense of southern Sichuan will depend on you in the future." ”

"Yes!"
