Chapter 14: Advanced (43)

The leisure days passed quickly, Mo Di took his wife to stay in Yangshuo Pingle for a few days, revisited the old place, and returned to Guilin after reminiscing about the frustration and loneliness of the past.

The senior staff class is about to start.

From the first session to the present, the senior staff class of the Army University has been held for the ninth period, and none of the first phase has been held in the school headquarters, but has been held in batches in various places. The Northwest class, the East China class, the North China class, and the Sichuan-Chongqing class finally opened a phase in Guangxi, and it was also named the southwest class.

Lu Dafan is a class with the word advanced, and the students are not ordinary, such as the senior political and educational class, the special class, the senior general class, and the first-class general class, all of whom are masters of the moment. This southwest class, according to the arrangement, is the ninth class of the senior staff, and it is actually a class that is completely opened for Guangxi, and the number of people is not large, only 25 people, except for one from Guizhou, the others are all from the Guangxi army. Compared with the previous eight phases, the level of the ninth batch of the Southwest High School has also decreased, and there are major generals among the trainees, and there are also some officers with the rank of colonel, because this time, I don't know whether the Gui Army is hateful or the central government has spoken, not only the chiefs of staff of the divisions under the 21 st Group Army and the 16 th Group Army have been wiped out, but also all the chiefs of staff of the divisions and districts under the jurisdiction of Guangxi have been summoned. Some of these chiefs of staff are veterans, some are rookies, and some even have the rank of lieutenant general in the Gui Army, of course, many of them have the rank of colonel, and some are even not colonels.

For example, Wang Weicang, chief of staff of the 171st Division of the Seventh Army, Li Renqiao, chief of staff of the 172nd Division, Li Xuan, chief of staff of the 173rd Division, Li Zulin, chief of staff of the 176th Division, and Gong Qingyuan, chief of staff of the 138th Division. What made Mo Di very excited was that there were two long-lost faces in the queue, one was the chief of staff of the 131st Division, his little brother Zhao Guolong, and the other made him even more overjoyed, the chief of staff of the Yonglong Division, his old partner Huang Tianhua.

As a sitting cannon who has been in Guilin for a year, it is the duty of Mo Di to invite guests.

Wang Weicang is an old man of the Gui Army, but he is a native of Linxiang, Hunan, and once served as the deputy chief of staff of the Seventh Army, but he was only inferior to Ma Bacui in the contest. Li Renqiao is a native of Lingui, graduated from the first phase of the sixth branch, and is a classmate and friend with Tan Heyi and others, this person is a good drinker and greedy for sex, and he is not enterprising enough, and it is estimated that he will not be able to stay in the position of chief of staff of the 172nd Division for too long. Li Xuan was previously the chief of staff of the 176th Division, and as Tan Heyi was transferred to the 84th Army, he was also transferred to the 173rd Division. The 173rd Division did nothing during the Lihuang Incident, and was bitterly criticized by Shangfeng afterwards, the division commander Liu Fang was criticized for being a head, the entire division headquarters was reorganized, and Li Xuan was transferred to the chief of staff. Li Zulin is the godson of Liao Lei and Liao Yangong, not very old, less than thirty, because of the godfather paving the way, all the way is very smooth, although Liao Yangong is ancient, but Li Pinxian will not be difficult for his descendants, after the Lihuang incident, Li Zulin lost his position in Lihuang, and it is also a good opportunity to be the chief of staff of the 176th Division. In June, the 84th Army was readjusted, army commander Mo Shujie officially resigned, Zhang Guangwei officially assumed the post of army commander, Tan Heyi served as deputy army commander, Li Benyi was transferred to the 176th Division as division commander, and Li Yingjun served as the commander of the 138th Division. After Xu Qiming became the commander of the Seventh Army, the Seventh Army basically remained the same, the commander of the 171st Division was still Cao Maozhang, and the commander of the 172nd Division was still Zhong Ji. The chiefs of staff of the two divisions of the 84th Army, Niu Bingxin's 174th Division and Zhang Wenhong's 189th Division, were all newcomers, and Mo Di said that he was not familiar with them.

Gong Qingyuan and Huang Tianhua Zhao Guolong sat together, very close, Wang Weicang has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he is really an old fox, he knows that these three are invincible old subordinates, on this occasion, it seems that the small group is not atmospheric enough, so he pulled Gong Qingyuan and said: "Chief of Staff Gong, at this table, the two of us are foreigners, you have to take care of me." ”

Gong Qingyuan smiled dumbly and said: "Chief of Staff Wang, you are on the anti-Japanese front line from Guilin, and this is the first time I have come to the border of Guangxi, so you must take care of me." ”

Wang Weicang laughed and said, "I want to take care of you, but I'm afraid that it won't be your turn, you see, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao takes care of you meticulously and very thoughtfully." ”

Gong Qingyuan looked at Zhao Guolong beside him and said with a smile: "Guolong takes care of me, purely to respect the elderly. I think that at the beginning, I was already the chief of staff of a regiment, and this guy was still the commander of the guard company, and now in a blink of an eye, he is on an equal footing, and I must let him take care of me, otherwise I will be unbalanced in my heart. ”

Huang Tianhua saw that Gong Qingyuan said something interesting, and said with a smile: "Old Gong, don't say that you are too old, you are less than forty years old, and you are in the prime of life." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Gong Qingyuan blew his beard and glared at him: "I am forty-three this year, and I am the oldest among them." ”

Wang Weicang is also happy, calculating the age is really the first, he and Li Renqiao are in second place at the age of thirty-nine, Li Xuan is thirty-six years old, Huang Tianhua and Mo Di are in their early thirties, as for Li Zulin and Zhao Guolong, they are less than thirty.

Zhao Guolong consciously added tea to everyone present, with a light smile on his face. Mo Di participated in this senior class, he knew it, but he didn't understand it, because Mo Di did not belong to the category of chief of staff, why did he participate in this class? When I came to Fulongzhou yesterday, the first thing I did was to ask Gong Qingyuan for the reason.

Gong Qingyuan told him that all of us graduated from the Central Military Academy, whether it is the headquarters of Huangpu or the branch school, we are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, but compared with the Army University, the Central Military Academy is ultimately inferior, so we must climb up to this level. Whether it is a senior political education class or a senior staff class, as long as you get involved, even if you have a place in the Army University, it is a coincidence. Zhao Guolong thought that Gong Qingyuan's statement was reasonable and unreasonable, and when he saw Huang Tianhua today, he raised the question again.

Huang Tianhua's view is different from Gong Qingyuan's, he believes that Mo Di's staff ability is second to none in the Gui army, especially at the strategic level, and only a limited number of people such as the central white chief and Liu Xiaochang can compete with him. Mo Dou participated in this high-level class, which is well deserved. If what I expected is good, this high-level class, Mo Invincible is the protagonist, and the other twenty-four people are all supporting roles.

Served, braised chicken, steamed turtle, fried Lijiang fish, Guilin eighteen stuffed, ginkgo stewed duck, stir-fried Lijiang shrimp...... A pot of ten catties of Sanhua wine emitted a burst of fragrance.

The banquet is placed in the Zhiyu Pavilion of the octagonal pond nearby, and it is only a hundred meters away from here to Fulongzhou. It is said that the octagonal pond was originally a bay of the Li River, in ancient times it was integrated with the Li River, in the Song Dynasty, the soil accumulated between the Fubo Mountain Huanzhu Cave and the Wind Cave Mountain Mulong Cave for the city, the pond was divided into two with the Li River, but the underground water body was connected, and the water of the octagonal pond led to the Li River, not the backwater. Ming and Qing dynasties, here is the most prestigious artificial garden in Guilin, known as Bagui Hall, in front of the hall to Pinghu, for the realm of the mushroom and the tea, there is a wide court of car riding music and dance, there are Yingxi Tower, waiting for the moon floor on the left and right, there are Xichun Terrace on the surface of Tangzhong Zhouyu and the water surface, Liugui Spring, Zhiyu Pavilion, it is a place where it is a prosperous place for a while, and people call it the back garden of Jingjiang Wangcheng.

Zhiyu Pavilion is the most prestigious fish restaurant in Guilin, one is the beautiful environment of the octagonal pond, and the other is the excellent geographical location, not far from the palace, which is convenient for foraging. The food of Guilin City, the top two, when the crescent tower and the Zhiyu Pavilion, relatively speaking, the Zhiyu Pavilion is more suitable for friends gatherings and formal banquets. As for the crescent tower, it is east of the flower bridge, at the foot of the crescent mountain, and is famous for drinking flower wine. No, the first glass of wine was drunk, and Li Renqiao had already begun to make an appointment for the second one, and the crescent moon building was set up.

"Don't you know that Tianzong brother has been a soldier for three years, and the sow is a sable cicada." Li Renqiao said: "You just arrange for a few brothers to drink vegetarian wine here, how can you bear it!" ”

Mo Die laughed and said, "Blame me, blame me!" I really didn't expect this, this year, I basically lived a life of men and women in Guilin, and I really forgot about this problem! ”

"Don't tell me about drinking flower wine." Huang Tianhua also said with a smile: "My son was just born last month, and I really can't have this interest. ”

"You kid! Before you know it, you have arranged all the major events in your life! Gong Qingyuan smiled: "Tell me, why did you return to Guangxi from Zhejiang?" ”

"Before the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War last year, I made a statement to the Zhejiang Garrison Command that the Japanese army would attack the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line in the near future. General Huang Shaohong and General Wu Tingyang of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Department revised my speech and sent it to the Third Theater to ask the Third Theater to prepare for battle. Regrettably, our opinions were not taken seriously by the Third Theater, and the subsequent course of operations, as we said before, always caught the Third Theater off guard. Or maybe our previous prediction made the three theaters even more embarrassed and angry, so in the course of the battle, we completely ignored our troops in the north of the Fuchun River, so that our troops were seriously injured. After the war, I resigned from my post, and under the introduction of Commander Wu Tingyang, I returned to my hometown of Mingzhou Mansion, and the old commander Ling pressed the west commander and did not give up, and served as the chief of staff of the Yonglong Division. Huang Tianhua seemed to be talking about other people's business, and he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

"Gu Zhu is the same as others, narrow-minded, and has no room for others, and it is very normal for this situation to occur." Li Zulin said: "As early as the 1058th Regiment, Chief of Staff Huang was famous for his tactical strategy in northern Anhui, and after a few years, it has become more sharp. It's a pity that my Qi Ye died young, otherwise, Chief of Staff Huang would definitely not have such a future as he is now. ”

Huang Tianhua said with a smile: "It's good now, when I return to my hometown, the first thing is to marry a wife, the second thing is to have children, and the wife and children are hot on the kang, which is also a great joy in life." However, at present, the southwestern border of Guangxi is not stable, and the Japanese Southern Army Group has used Vietnam as a breeding ground, and the troops that have been damaged on other battlefields have been rotated to northern Vietnam for rest, and the result is that a considerable number of Japanese troops have always been maintained in northern Vietnam. If the Japanese army opens through Changsha and enters Hengyang, it must choose one of two options, one is to go straight down to Shaoguan along the Guangdong-Han line, and the other is to go west to Guilin along the Hunan-Guizhou line. If the Battle of Hunan and Guizhou broke out, the Japanese army in Vietnam would have to raise troops to take over, and at that time, I would have become the front line of the front. The reason why Commander Ling Zhuxi is a little angry these days is that the Central Military Service Administration wants to rectify Guangxi's basic militia system and integrate soldiers into the people, and if the rectification is successful, the division will become a bare-bones commander, and once the Japanese army enters from Vietnam, it will be defenseless and powerless. ”

"The central government does not understand the specific situation in Guangxi, and only seeks common ground, not small differences, and what it brings to Guangxi is only afraid that it is not a good thing." Wang Weicang sighed.

"Yes! The 16th Group Army has gone north on all fronts, Haijingqiang's 188th Division is in Hengyang, Ganchengcheng's 175th Division is in Lingling, the 170th Division is in Liuzhou, and the new 19th Division is in Laibin, and now there is only one 131st Division in the front line of Shangsi Fangcheng. Zhao Guolong also looked worried.

"You guys, drink well, talk about things seriously, don't make a mistake about the time and place!" Mo Di scolded with a smile.

Everyone in the audience laughed, that's the reason.

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, this Mo Tianzong, I haven't seen him for more than a year, he has matured a lot, he was the chief of staff of the 176th Division, he was the head of the 176th Division's Field Supplement Regiment, he was more than murderous, not domineering enough, once the rank of major general was on his shoulders, the whole faction was very different when he spoke, and he didn't dare to put any more stinky shelf in front of him.
