Good Guangzhou? This is a very vague sentence. What should I look at? Of course, Zhuang Jihua asked Chiang Kai-shek to keep a look at Guangzhou and not let someone move away. He could only be optimistic about Guangzhou. So who should I look at it? It is impossible to be Wang Jingwei. Although Wang Jingwei is a representative of the Eastern Expedition Army, he is also the chairman of the National Government, so he stayed in Guangzhou. Does he need to look at it? The same principle applies to Tan Yankai, Zhu Peide, and Boluotin. Since it is not these big heads, then it is a small head. Who are the people in the Huangpu Group who stayed in Guangzhou? Wang Bailing, the head of the military academy; Wang Maogong, the commander of the Second Division; Zhang Zhizhong, the chief of staff of the garrison headquarters, and the commander of the fourth term enlisted regiment; except for Wang Bailing, the others all joined the Huangpu Group in the middle of the journey. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek is still worried about them.

Zhuang Jihua suddenly thought, would someone come to "see" him? Once this idea arose, he was entrenched in his mind like a poisonous snake. He slowly recalled the recent reorganization of the army from the 7th Company to the nearest reorganization. He felt that Chiang Kai-shek had been watching him. For example, in the 7th Company, Yu Jishi knew the details of their company's training and joked during the reorganization. He didn't pay attention at that time. Now he thought that someone was watching him at that time. During the reorganization, he was transferred to Liutang Town, but he did not report to Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek still knew that this could be explained by Jiang Xianyun or Yu Jishi, but it could also be explained by the people who watched him. When he thought of someone looking at him behind him, Zhuang Jihua's scalp felt a little numb.

The National Government made great efforts to prepare for the Eastern Expedition, but of course it could not hide the generals of Chen Jiongming from Dongjiang. The generals of Chen's army were not to be outdone. Yang Kunru sent a telegram to the whole country, saying: "Cheng Kai-shek was involved in the Guangdong army. He was confused and alienated the two Dukes of Chen and Xu. The Guangdong army was incompatible. From then on, the overall situation was chaotic, and the disaster remained until now. The Liao case happened... He wanted to capture all the Guangdong generals and revolutionary heroes in one go...."

Chen Jiongming did not sit idly by and watch his subordinates be eliminated. He contacted Deng Benyin, an old subordinate in charge of Guangdong, and asked him to attack Guangzhou together, echoing each other. Then he contacted Duan Rui and asked him to assist Dongjiang. He then went to Hong Kong to discuss with Hong Kong Governor Situ Ba, hoping that Hong Kong and Britain would provide a batch of guns, ammunition and military expenses. Situ Ba agreed in full. Since the provincial and Hong Kong strike to blockade Hong Kong, Hong Kong has been able to import the daily necessities needed from the Dongjiang area. The British Hong Kong authorities naturally refused to let Dongjiang fall back into the hands of the National Government.

Although Chen Jiongming was trying hard to contact, there was always a problem within the Chen army in Dongjiang. That is who will command. The three giants of the Chen army in Dongjiang: Chen Jiongming, Ye Ju, and Lin Hu are not in Dongjiang at present. Chen Jiongming is not willing to interfere in command directly. Ye Ju is seriously ill. Lin Hu is running between Wuhan, Changsha and Shanghai. It is just that Sun Chuanfang is fighting fiercely with the Fengtian army. He has no time to worry about Guangdong; Wu Pei comes out again, holding a banner of anti-thieves to sharpen his knife to the north. He has no intention of the south; Zhao Hengti is a typical gatekeeper dog, and he is satisfied with having a Hunan and is not interested in Guangdong. Of course, they do not care about Lin Hu at all. Zhao Hengti helps him recruit a group of new recruits, Wu Peifu supports a group of newly manufactured Hanyang, and Sun Chuanfang in the victory provides 100,000 oceans.

Not only were the three giants not present, but even Hong Zhaolin and Xiong Lue were not present in Dongjiang. The generals of the Dongjiang River could only discuss on their own. As a result, the combat plan proposed by Liu Zhilu was accepted by everyone. According to Hong Zhaolin's plan, Huizhou was attracted to the main force of the Eastern Expedition Army. The other troops gathered around Huizhou. When the Eastern Expedition Army could not capture the city, the senior soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army would be exhausted, and they would attack inside and outside, and defeat the Eastern Expedition Army in one fell swoop.

The specific deployment was that Yang Kunru and Mo Xiong's two divisions had 3,000 people guarded Huizhou; Li Yibiao and Chen Xiujue's troops gathered with about 3,000 people gathered with Lao Long; Huang Renhuan and 5,000 people gathered with Xiong's troops; Li Yunfu's troops gathered with other people gathered with Pingshan; Xie Wenbiao's troops gathered with more than 2,000 people gathered with::. Yang Kunru guarded Huizhou, and he had to fight the Eastern Expedition Army regardless of victory or defeat, but the peripheral troops could act according to the situation. Even if he was defeated, he could retreat to Jiangxi or Fujian.

Huizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is no record of breaking the city in five hundred years. The General Command of the Eastern Expedition Army and Chen Jiongming both focused their attention on the ancient city of Huizhou.

Chen's military deployment had long been clearly understood by the local peasant association and trade union, and was marked on the combat map of the Eastern Expeditionary Army General Headquarters. Chen's combat ideas were also revealed to the world. Looking at this situation map, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but think of Zhuang Jihua's combat plan. According to that plan, Chen's military might not escape the fate of being annihilated.

Just as he thought of this, Chief of Staff Chen interrupted his thoughts: "Principal, it seems that they want us to attack Huizhou, use the strong city to consume our army, and then attack inside and outside in order to defeat our Eastern Expedition Army in one battle."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded lightly, and only then did he see clearly that the enemy's combat intentions could make adjustments.

The front was approaching Huizhou, and Chen's army retreated without resolute resistance and contact on the periphery of Huizhou. Therefore, the Eastern Expedition Army would soon advance to the city of Huizhou. In terms of strategy, Chen's army had achieved its goal, and it depends on Huizhou's offensive and defensive battles now.

Chiang Kai-shek stared at the map marked with red and blue pencils, but recalled Zhuang Jihua's words, "Break the left army with the main force and detour the side of the Eastern Expedition Army." After thinking about it, he finally said: "Order He Yingqin to surround Huizhou with one of his powerful troops, and Luo Fengxiang, the commander of Dongjiang Xuanwei, and the main force was placed in Boluo. Order Li Jishen's troops to go out of Danshui, Yonghu, and Ma'an to block the enemy in the east, and order Cheng Qian's troops to temporarily garrison near Boluo and support the army."

The principal was going to change the plan. Chen was stunned for a moment and did not dare to ask more questions. Instead, he quickly sent the order.

After receiving the order, He Yingqin ordered the siege army to be formed by Tan Shuqing's troops in the Third Division of the First Army, the First Brigade, the First Division Artillery Battalion, and the Engineer Battalion; the Second Brigade of the First Division, the First Brigade of the Second Division, the First Brigade of the Second Division, the Security Division, and the First Detachment of the Party Army as the general reserve team.

In the next two days, Li Jishen led his troops to occupy Huiyang Guanqiao and Yonghu line, and Cheng Qian led his troops to the vicinity of Boluo. The operations of Li and Cheng completed the mission of covering He Yingqin's attack on Huizhou in the middle.

114. He besieged Huizhou. In the afternoon of the same day, Chiang Kai-shek led the General Command of the Eastern Expedition Army to the outside of Huizhou City. Yang Kunru firmly implemented the battle goal of luring the enemy to siege the city. Even Fei'eling, the commanding height outside the city, easily gave up, and the entire army retreated into Huizhou City. However, under the city of Huizhou, Chiang Kai-shek finally could not hide his inner concerns and proposed to change the combat deployment, first wipe out the enemy outside Huizhou, and then attack Huizhou. Luo Jiajuefu firmly opposed it as always.

"Guest Luo, the enemy's intentions are already very obvious. He is to attract our army to attack the city and use Huizhou to consume our army. We cannot be fooled by the enemy." Chiang Kai-shek explained to Luo Jiajuefu patiently.

"It is precisely because of this that we have to attack Huizhou. General Jiang. All the hopes of the enemy are Huizhou. If we can conquer Huizhou, the attack on the enemy's spirit and confidence will be decisive and will make them lose the courage to fight." Luo Jiajuefu did not have the tone of teaching the primary school students a lesson, but emphasized Huizhou's position among the generals of the Chen army and the importance of attacking the enemy's confidence. In the Soviet military theory, the tip of the knife is emphasized against the tip of the knife, and the strength is against the strong. If you place your hope in Huizhou, then I will directly break Huizhou, destroy your hope, and make you completely desperate.

Chiang Kai-shek was still hesitating. He was worried that the forced attack on Huizhou would cause excessive casualties. Chen obviously understood his concerns and said to Luo Jiajuefu: "Strong attack on Huizhou may cause great casualties..."

"Victory cannot be without paying a price, Chen," Luo Jiajuefu interrupted Director Zhou. He waved his hand and his arm and said firmly: "There is no casualties in the war, but as long as the enemy is annihilated, it is acceptable and inevitable to pay some price."

He Yingqin also felt that it was inappropriate to change the combat deployment now, so he tactfully persuaded: "To completely siege Huizhou, we need to increase the strength of a regiment. In this way, we will only have two brigades and security divisions to attack the enemies around Huizhou, and the strength does not have an absolute advantage. If the battle is in a stalemate, the development of the entire battle situation will be hard to say."

"Okay," Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly: "Respect him, we must fight quickly and take Huizhou as soon as possible."

Then he said to Luo Fengxiang: "Luo Xuanwei has been in Huizhou for a long time. How should you fight this battle?"

"Huizhou's city defense is very strong, but it also has weaknesses. The North Gate has not been completely repaired since the attack of the Gui army in the 22nd year of the Republic of China. If artillery fire can be concentrated to attack the North Gate, victory will be more certain." Luo Fengxiang said after thinking about it.

"Okay, let's follow what Luo Xuanwei said." Chiang Kai-shek made up his mind: "The artillery concentrated in Feieling, with the North Gate as the main attack direction. Order the air force to send planes to assist in the war."

"Principal Jiang, in terms of military strategy, it is said that he will surround three quotas and one. Will he leave a way out for them?" Zhou Enlai said with a smile. He resigned from the position of full-time party representative of the Political Department of the First Division, and the Director of the Political Department was held by Li Gongxia, a member of the **.

"Well, you're right," Chiang Kai-shek looked at the map again: "Let's go out of the east gate and leave a way out for Yang Kunru."
