There are people above, they are easy to live and quick promotion; fires on both sides of the Miluo River surged into the sky, and the Fourth and Seventh Armies crossed blood; Zhuang Jihua was leisurely in Changsha, the first army was the general reserve team, the first division stayed in Changsha, and the second division only arrived in Baishui, which was still far from the front line.

Zhuang Jihua was very satisfied with this state, but the brothers below were not satisfied, especially his first regiment, where the three battalions commanders were staying in the regiment headquarters all day long, complaining about the principal and asking them to take the lead; after complaining, the principal complained about Zhuang Jihua and said that he would not fight for it. Zhuang Jihua felt a headache every time at this time, and their performance showed that high morale and high morale were a good thing, and he could not and did not want to suppress it. But he was a little annoyed that he was a little annoyed, so he used the excuse to prepare for war and restored his four exercises and three lectures every day. Each regiment focused on tactics, especially the battalion company tactics he discussed with Xue Yue. Zhuang Jihua went to the regiment to inspect every day.

The division commander Wang Bailing's party representative Miao Bin didn't care at all. They spent every night on the pleasure boat and threw the troops to Zhuang Jihua. The two Zhuang Jihua couldn't control them, but the others were controlled by Zhuang Jihua. Two officers from the division headquarters secretly went to gamble, but he was driven away mercilessly after he found out. He publicly claimed that he could not control Wang Bailing and Miao Bin, and whoever wanted to learn from them would get out of the way. Wang Bailing didn't say anything after hearing this, but he hated him secretly. But Miao Bin had a big fight with Zhuang Jihua, believing that Zhuang Jihua had no power to fire the officer without the consent of the division commander and the party representative. Zhuang Jihua did not make concessions. The two came to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek scolded Miao Bin again, and Miao Bin went back in shame. The next division knew that he could offend Wang Bailing and Miao Bin, but Zhuang Jihua's rules must not be violated.

In fact, Zhuang Jihua felt very uncomfortable. Changsha City was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and Xiangjiang River passed through the city. Yuelu Mountain was majestic and beautiful. Good mountains and rivers were beautiful girls, and the beautiful Hunan girl was surrounded by beautiful streets. It was really a cheongsam and foreign skirt flying together, with tender faces and pink arms and legs dancing together. Zhuang Jihua would be dazzled every time he came to the street, which made him itchy. The night before leaving ignited his long-depressed desire, but he didn't dare. He wanted to go again, and that division would have to be in chaos.

So every night, they would go to the Xiang River to cool off. After Wu Ziniu asked for leave, Song Yunfei followed him without hesitation, and the two of them drank and chatted at the food stalls along the river.

"Yunfei, are you married?" Zhuang Jihua and Song Yunfei had a drink at a food stall on the shore, while two guards were on another table.

"No. There are today or tomorrow for those who are in the army. Who is willing to marry you?" Song Yunfei replied.

"That's not necessarily." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said.

"Not everyone can meet a girl like Miss Liu." Song Yunfei sighed. In private, the two of them didn't have so much scruples, and they had more casual names: "You're still lucky."

"When the war is over, I will ask A Shu to introduce you to one at their school." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "Actually, with your ability, I really want to find a wife, but it's not easy to get it."

"It's useless. I'm not like you, I don't have a feminine relationship." Song Yunfei disagreed.

"You are too serious." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "You are scared away by women all day long. If you keep doing this, you will probably have to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

"Haha, that's not necessarily the case." Song Yunfei smiled: "Deputy Commander, when will we go to the front line?"

Obviously he didn't want to talk about this topic, Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "Look, I just said you were too serious. That's itchy."

"Since you followed you, I have never been to the front line. I thought I could go to the front line for the second expedition. As a result..., it's like this now." Song Yunfei's tone was bleak.

"Look at you, you are all captains, and you may be promoted to major in a while. Why are you still so impatient? Just like them?" Zhuang Jihua looked relaxed. Although he was blaming, his tone had no intention of blaming at all.

"Aren't I anxious?" Song Yunfei explained.

"Stay at ease, we don't need to go there."

"When will we get on?" Song Yunfei asked.

Zhuang Jihua just smiled and did not answer the question, but turned to look at the pleasure boats floating on the Xiang River. This kind of food stall is only set up at night. Citizens who are approaching summer like to come to such places, a plate of peanuts and a pot of old wine, while drinking, watching the pleasure boats swaying on the Xiang River, and listening to the desolate sounds brought by the night wind. Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, Zhuang Jihua certainly understood that the hard battles made other troops fight, the casualties and the big profits made the army.

Go and fight. So Zhuang Jihua was very confident in "retirement" in Changsha. Chiang Kai-shek's general headquarters was also in Changsha. Occasionally he also went to the general headquarters to see if Chiang Kai-shek had any instructions. In fact, it was mainly to find Jiang Xianyun. Jiang Xianyun seemed to know what he wanted to do, and only told him on the first meeting that the report had been handed over, and he never mentioned this matter again. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but ask, and he also looked at him, which made Zhuang Jihua feel lost.

"I really envy Cao Yuan and the others!" Zhuang Jihua came to find Jiang Xianyun again. Jiang Xianyun looked at the north and sighed. He really wanted to leave here. Such casual days made him very uncomfortable.

"Which group are they in? Did Chen Geng leave?" Zhuang Jihua asked. He had no news about them since the Great Buddha Temple.

"Let's go, May, Director Deng is going to go ahead." Jiang Xianyun was very disappointed. Li Zhilong also came to Changsha. Deng Yanda finally brought him to the General Political Department for publicity. He knew that Zhuang Jihua had met Li Zhilong, but he never brought Li Zhilong to meet Jiang Xianyun, nor did he say goodbye to them.

"That's soon. The principal must go to the front line, occupy a place, and go to political work. This is our old way." Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly. He didn't expect Li Zhilong to go. He just felt that Jiang Xianyun and him were not talking about anything like before. Zhuang Jihua had met Li Zhilong, and at first he wanted to bring Li Zhilong and Jiang Xianyun together to drink, but then he thought about it and gave up. If Li Zhilong saw Jiang Xianyun and was pulled into **, he might not even be able to escape the anti-counterfeiting and could not wait for the Cultural Revolution in the future.

"Cao Yuan, Xu Jishen and the others went to Ye Ting's delegation, and this time they were the pioneers again." Jiang Xianyun said a little jealously.

Ye Ting** group, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but feel shocked. This group fought many tough battles and sacrificed a lot.

"Are they okay?" Zhuang Jihua asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I haven't heard of a battalion commander being killed." Although Jiang Xianyun spoke relaxed, he was a little worried.

"Brother, I'm now in a dark look. Apart from the war situation, I don't know anything else. Where has the war ended?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

Zhuang Jihua was telling the truth. The first division was regarded as an imperial guard by Chiang Kai-shek. In private, Zhuang Jihua also asked Chiang Kai-shek for battle, believing that the troops had been in Changsha, a world of flowers for a long time. The fighting spirit would inevitably be relaxed, and when it was really needed, it might not be able to be used. Chiang Kai-shek told him not to worry, just manage the troops well.

So Zhuang Jihua had to read the war situation report every day to understand the war situation. However, the war situation report was not timely. Sometimes two pictures were recorded a day, and sometimes there were no one for three consecutive days.

"They are about to fight to Tingsi Bridge, there must be a fierce battle here." When talking about the situation, Jiang Xianyun was a little excited: "The Cultural Revolution really made you say that Wu Peifu is strong and the Miluo River will pass in one day."

After Chiang Kai-shek issued the general attack order on the 19th, the 12th Division of the Fourth Army attacked Tianyue Mountain with one force. The main force crossed the river from Baiyu Lake and surrounded and attacked from east to north of Pingjiang; the 10th Division crossed the river from Tuotian, attacked Dashan and Tamsui; then the Seventh Army crossed the river from Wukou, Huangtang, Tamsui and other places, and launched an attack on General Mountain, Zhangjiapai and other places. By noon, it occupied Pingjiang. In just one day, all the strategic points on the north bank of the Miluo River fell into the hands of the Northern Expedition Army.

The Wu army retreated to Tongcheng, Yueyang and other places one after another, and could not organize a decent resistance. By the evening of the 20th, the Eighth Army chased Huangsha Street, Dajing Street, and Guanwang Bridge; the Seventh Army chased Cenchuan and Tanjiafang; the Fourth Army chased Bianjiang and Fu Ziyuan.

The pursuit continued the next day. Except for Dong Zhengguo who organized some resistance, the rest of the Wu army fled and seized Yueyang on the 22nd, and the Fourth Army captured Tongcheng on the 23rd, and since then, the entire Hunan area has been recovered.

"I think Wu Peifu can't sit still at the south entrance, so I guess he's here." Zhuang Jihua asked casually. Jiang Xianyun was a confidential adviser and had priority reading of information. Zhuang Jihua released eighteen Arhats in Beijing, Wuhan and other places, and Jiang Xianyun was providing information in a steady stream of information.

"Then you can still sit still. I went south from Nankou the day before yesterday." Jiang Xianyun smiled and said, "Mr. Wu lost all his face this time. In the north and Nankou, he was finally captured by the Fengtian army and Zhilu coalition forces. In the south, he was defeated in both ends."

Faced with the critical situation in the south, Wu Peifu had to agree to put the Feng army into the Nankou War, which also meant that he agreed to make concessions to Zhang Zuolin in the Beijing regime. The National Army launched a land offensive in northern Shanxi with one to four but failed to achieve the expected results. However, Nankou was exhausted and had to withdraw from Nankou and Zhangjiakou. It was not until Wuyuan that he gained a foothold. Feng Yuxiang, who had received a large amount of aid in the Soviet Union, was rushing to Wuyuan.

As soon as the Nankou Battle ended, Wu Peifu did not wait for the troops to rest, and immediately led two divisions to the south and hurried to the battlefield in southern Hubei.

"Since Wu Peifu went south, Tingsi Bridge will definitely be a fierce battle." Zhuang Jihua was also worried. At this time, a group of students walked past outside with flags and singing "Down with the great powers and eliminate the warlords". The song was crisp and warm, and the atmosphere on the street was immediately a little lively.

Good news spread frequently. Such scenes can be seen almost every day in Changsha City. All the workers, peasants and students have started. Every victory of the Northern Expedition Army can set off a new round of celebrations and bring revolutionary momentum to a new peak.

"Defeat the great powers, defeat the great powers, except for warlords, we must be the masters..." Jiang Xianyun gently sang the most popular song of this period, looking at the young students who posted slogans everywhere with a smile.

Every time I hear this melody, Zhuang Jihua feels so familiar. It took several days to remember that it was the once very popular "Two tigers, running fast, running fast, not one...", which even children could sing in their previous life.

The old songs and new lyrics are also considered innovative. Zhuang Jihua slandered viciously in his heart, but his face still kept a smile like a spring breeze.

"Wushan, look at when the General Command will move forward? It's too far from the front line." Zhuang Jihua asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Xianyun shook his head and said, "The Commander-in-Chief may have his plans. By the way, the Cultural Revolution, have you put the garbage?"

"Let them go?" Zhuang Jihua sneered: "I won't let anyone go before the war is over. Your party will not rectify it, and I won't let anyone go."

Jiang Xianyun nodded, but said nothing. Zhuang Jihua wanted to ask his report what it meant, but he finally said nothing. He didn't want to put pressure on Jiang Xianyun anymore.

After Wu Peifu arrived in Hankou, he learned that Tongcheng and Yueyang had fallen, so he immediately ordered Ye Kaixin to defend Tingsi Bridge, Xianning and Baidun for a week, waiting for the main force in the north. However, considering that the front line was defeated and morale was broken, he was worried that Tingsi Bridge could not be defended, so he sent Chen Jiamo to lead the 13th Mixed Brigade to assist Tingsi Bridge and ordered Liu Yuchun to lead the Eighth Division to establish a second line of defense at Hesheng Bridge.

The Northern Expedition Army won consecutive battles, and the morale of the whole army was high. Chiang Kai-shek seized the favorable opportunity when Wu Peifu's troops were dispersed and the main force had not arrived. He decided to launch the Tingsi Bridge Battle immediately, open the gate to Wuhan, and ordered the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army to attack and advance along the Wuchang Railway, capture Tingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge as fast as possible, and then attack Wuchang. The main force of the Eighth Army crossed the river from the upper reaches of Wuchang and attack Hankou Hanyang. The Second Division of the First Army took over the warning mission on the Wuchang Road River. The First Division of the First Army entered Yueyang. The Sixth Army was responsible for covering the right wing of Wuchang Road.

The eyes of the commanders of both sides were staring at Tingsi Bridge at the same time.

To attack Wuhan, Tingsi Bridge is the first level that must be conquered; if you defend Tingsi Bridge, you can defend Wuhan.
