Section 41: Three wins in four days (2)

Zhuang Jihua didn't expect Xie Hongxun to run away like this. He was also up and down last night. He was worried that Xie Hongxun would not come, but when he came, he was worried that he could not stop Xie Hongxun's counterattack. As a result, Xie Hongxun gave him a hero cut off his arm.

"Okay, now we don't have to worry about Xie Hongxun going to the bronze drum." Xiong Shouyun stretched: "Find a place to have a good sleep."

"I'm afraid it's difficult to do what you want." Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "Daonan, do you want to make a greater contribution?"

Xiong Shouyun looked at Zhuang Jihua in surprise and asked, "What else is there to do? Xie Hongxun still wants to come out? He doesn't want to repair water?"

"Xie Hongxun definitely doesn't want to come out, but Sun Chuanfang and Lu Xiangting will ask him out." Zhuang Jihua said: "But he came out not to reinforce the bronze drum, but to pick up Yang Zhendong."

"Do you want to touch Yang Zhendong?" Xiong Shouyun looked at Zhuang Jihua: "Our mission is to prevent Xie Hongxun from going south. If we run to Tonggu, even if we don't blame him, it will be too late for us to go now."

"Cheng Qian's tactics must be three or one, so they can defeat the bronze drum but cannot wipe out Yang Zhendong. Where would Yang Zhendong escape from the bronze drum?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"Will Yang Zhendong run away to Xiushui?" Xiong Shouyun was a little puzzled: "What did he do when Xiushui runs to Xiushui?"

"The barrier is on the flanks of the Nanxun Line." Zhuang Jihua said steadily: "If I were Yang Zhendong, I would run towards Xiushui. After Xiushui, Yongning, retreat to De'an, and leaning against Lu Xiangting's main force, he would be sure to defend De'an. "He can also go through Yifeng and Gao'an, retreat to Nanchang." Xiong Shouyun said.

"Yes, but this road is not easy to walk, and even if we go, I'm afraid he will arrive in Nanchang and the Second and Third Army will arrive. This is not cost-effective." Zhuang Jihua said: "More importantly, Sun Chuanfang will not let him go to Nanchang, and the main force led by Lu Xiangting must advance to Nanchang. The Nanxun Line is the lifeline of Nanchang. If our army cuts off the Nanxun Line, the Nanchang defending enemy will collapse without fighting. On the contrary, even if our army seizes Nanchang, the Sun army will continue to counterattack from the Nanxun Line. The battle situation is likely to form a stalemate in Nanchang. Lu Xiangting goes to Nanchang. Who is the Nanxun Line handed over to? It is naturally Xie Hongxun."

"According to what you said, Yang Zhendong will flee Xiang Xiushui and Xie Hongxun, and then retreat to De'an together." Xiong Shouyun's tone was still wandering.

"Yes, I want to take the troops to Nanguqiao and Hujiadong area to look for opportunities. If Yang Zhendong doesn't come, we will annihilate him outside Xiushui City when we come." Zhuang Jihua said firmly.

Xiong Shouyun was not easy to object, and Zhuang Jihua won two battles and two times was when his confidence was rising. What's more important is that the places he chose were very outstanding. Nanguqiao and Hujiadong were in the southwest of Xiushui, Xie Hongxun wanted to help, and Yang Zhen fled northeast. They all had to pass by nearby areas, and as long as the information was timely, they had time to react.

"Okay, I agree." Xiong Shouyun finally smiled: "The principal always said that you don't play cards according to the rules. Now I am what he means. In these two battles, those battles are played according to the rules."

"Tsk," Zhuang Jihua shook his head disdainfully: "What are the rules for fighting? Victory is the rules for war. Isn't it mean that water has no constant momentum and soldiers have no constant shape? We call it the impermanence."

"Haha, just brag. Another day, you write Zhuangzi's martial arts, which will be passed down for generations." Xiong Shouyun said sarcastically.

"A Zhuangzi is enough, what kind of military tactics are added? Writing a Zhuangzi is passed down for hundreds of years, nothing great." Zhuang Jihua said shamelessly. He took over the big bags. What information wars in his previous life, super limit wars, and Star Wars, isn't it a military tactic?

"It's better to add military tactics." Xiong Shouyun reminded with a smile: "The "Zhuangzi" was written by Li Er, not that you, Zhuang Jihua, have been named Taishang Laojun. You have become a god. It's still early for you, Zhuang Cultural Revolution to become a god."

"Go, go. You have become a god. I am less than thirty, what kind of god? Bah, hurry up and rinse your mouth." Zhuang Jihua sprayed out a few salivas. Xiong Shouyun realized that becoming a god is not a good thing for the soldiers. He quickly sprayed out a few salivas and said with a smirk: "I'm dizzy, dizzy, wait until the seventh and eighty years old to become a god again. The revolution is not over yet."

Under the command of Cheng Qian, the Sixth Army and the First Division entered Tonggu in three directions. Yang Zhendong retreated to Tonggu County after his defeat in the first battle. He called Xie Hongxun for help. When he received a call from Xie Hongxun that Xiushui had also appeared in the banner of the three divisions of the Northern Expedition Army, Yang Zhendong's first reaction was that Xie Hongxun refused to help him when he saw that he had died. He wanted to give up Tonggu, but he was worried that Sun Chuanfang would blame him, so he asked Sun Chuanfang and Lu Xiangting for help. When the two call back, he asked him to join forces with Xie Hongxun. It would be too late for him to leave.

The Northern Expedition Army surrounded the fierce siege for a whole day. Yang Zhendong was also a powerful general. He came to the city and forced the 17th Division that broke up on the city. Then he turned to the west gate and defeated the 19th Division's siege. However, the 1st Division in the south of the city did not work hard under the command of Wang Bailing, and did not attack the city wall at a single attack. This caused dissatisfaction between the 17th Division and the 19th Division. Wang Bailing broke out at the combat meeting that night.

Wang Bailing didn't care about their accusations, but Xue Yue and Sun Yuanliang were very dissatisfied. It was not that they didn't want to rush, but that Wang Bailing refused to rush. Wang Bailing told them that there was no problem with the troops in such an advantageous area, and that the first division was proud of the party and army. If they were disabled in one battle, how could they explain to Chiang Kai-shek?

The next day, Cheng Qian adjusted his deployment and adopted the method of circumventing three verses and one. He and his consultant went to the position of the Nanmen Division to supervise the battle. His meaning was very clear. Don’t you, Wang Bailing, want to make trouble? You can’t make trouble in front of me and the consultant. Under Cheng Qian’s supervision, Wang Bailing had no choice but to send Xue Yue to the city.

Xue Yuecai ignored whether Wang Bailing was happy or not. He supervised the troops to attack as soon as he went into battle. The soldiers fought a day of breath yesterday, and today they could let go of their hands and feet. The excitement quickly made Yang Zhendong unable to bear it. The assault group, the cover group, and the support group cooperated with each other and rushed into the city. Seeing that something was wrong, Yang Zhendong fled from the East City Gate with the remnants.

After leaving the city, Yang Zhendong did not want to go to Xiushui. He always thought that Xie Hongxun was lying to him, but the situation could not tolerate him hesitation. The 19th Division was chasing him to death. Except for Xiushui Xie, the other counties, had no heavy troops to guard the other counties. Unless he retreated to Nanchang, he would have to bear the charge of losing several counties. What's more, Sun Chuanfang and Lu Xiangting had ordered him to join forces with Xie Hongxun. If he violated the order, the two crimes would be combined, and Sun Chuanfang would not be polite to chop his head. Yang Zhendong eventually fled to Xiushui County, with the 19th and 17th Divisions behind him. Beyond the distance was the First Division.

In order to avoid the Northern Expedition Army, Yang Zhen retreated east to Shankou Town and turned southeast, making an attitude of going to Yifeng. He walked halfway, but suddenly advanced eastward, and left the 19th Division near He City, and turned north.

The defeated soldiers were unsuccessful. Yang Zhendong's troops plundered along the way, and the Xiushui people rose up to resist. Gentlemen and villagers from all over the country organized a village protection group, raiding Yang Zhendong along the way, killing many wounded soldiers.

After crossing the Fengxiang River, it was getting closer and closer to Xiushui County. Yang Zhendong rectified the troops in Tianxiaoling. He didn't want Xie Hongxun to see his insanity. The troops after the rectification finally looked a little. Yang Zhendong was very worried about the Northern Expedition Army outside Xiushui City. Xie Hongxun's telegram said that there were three divisions. When Tonggu was looking forward to the reinforcements, he thought it was a lie, but the closer he got to Xiushui, the more serious it was.

Yang Zhendong sent a large number of reconnaissance personnel in front of the team. However, after long-distance marches and defeats, the troops were extremely tired and were overwhelmed by tension and fatigue. No one was intent to search carefully and just wanted to arrive at Shushui as soon as possible.

Niuyin Valley is sandwiched between two mountains and a river valley, which looks like a cow's hoof print. A stream flows quietly from the front end of the hoof print to the back end. The fields by the stream are bare, and several wheat hay stacks are piled by the fields. The terrain of the valley is relatively flat. It is not a good place to ambush.

The vanguard walked forward with guns in front of him staggering forward. Fighting and marching in the past day consumed most of their physical strength. The officers and soldiers were very dull and seemed to have no strength to speak. Yang Zhendong and his guards were in the middle. His guards were composed of veterans with rich combat experience. They were well-equipped and treated much better than ordinary soldiers on weekdays. They were very powerful in fighting, but now even these people are not energetic.

Suddenly, a crisp gunshot sounded over the valley, and the gunshots were particularly harsh in the empty valley. The long marching line seemed to have been imposed and stopped suddenly; with the crisp gunshots, a series of machine guns like a burst of beans, several shells roared into the queue. Several unlucky ghosts were lifted into the air and then fell heavily into the soil.

The troops were in chaos, and the soldiers rushed to avoid bullets shot from all directions. The word "ambush" just came to Yang Zhendong's mind. The horse sitting down neighed and fell down with a loud bang. "Be careful, brigade commander." The adjutant rushed over and dragged him out from under the horse and helped him to a depression. Yang Zhen looked at the sky with a dull look at the east side.

The adjutant thought he was injured and rushed to check his body. "Brig Commander, what should I do?" The captain of the guard rushed to him and asked loudly, and several officers also rolled and crawled.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Sir, go forward or retreat?"

Yang Zhendong suddenly broke free from the adjutant's hand, looked around, gritted his teeth and ordered the right wing hill to seize the right wing. At this moment, he realized that the ambushers were insufficient in sufficient troops and could not completely encircle them, trying to destroy them in this flat valley with fierce firepower.

Before Yang Zhendong could finish his words, a loud military horn sounded over the battlefield, and a killing sound came out with the sound of the horn.

"Run!"

"Capture Yang Zhendong alive!"

"Capture Yang Zhendong alive!"

Two groups of people and horses emerged from both sides. The enemy on the left rushed down from the hillside. The enemy on the right crossed the stream and headed straight to Yang Zhendong's depression.

"Stop them! Block them!" Yang Zhendong was a little panicked. His opponent was very sensitive to the situation on the battlefield and had already realized the weakness of insufficient troops. At this moment, there were two purposes for launching an attack, compressing space and tamping with Yang's army; Yang Zhendong knew that the troops must not be cut off, so he urgently ordered him to resist. The Yang army began to fight back, but the charger did not seem to find the oncoming bullets, but they just charged desperately and quickly rushed into the Yang army. The Yang army soldiers ran back in panic, and the Northern Expedition Army took the opportunity to chase him. Yang Zhendong threw the guard into battle to barely block the Northern Expedition Army's attack, but the troops had been successfully cut into two sections by them.

Yang Zhendong made a quick decision and called the captain of the guard to order him to break through the way. The captain of the guard received the order and left. The chief of staff next to him understood what Yang Zhendong meant: "Brig Commander, where are the brothers in front?"

"If you stay in the green mountains, you won't be afraid of burning firewood. You can only walk one by one." Yang Zhendong's words popped up from the cracks of his teeth. Now it is impossible to take all his troops out; the Chief of Staff silently lowered his head.

The Northern Expedition Army's offensive became more and more fierce, and the gunfire in front became less and less. Before the guard could open the gap, Yang Zhendong couldn't help but be anxious and ran back with his men.

"Beard! What are you rubbing?" Yang Zhendong shouted loudly. The guard captain was sweating heavily, and he dripped down his face, washing the black smoke from the gunpowder, and mud was everywhere on his body. When he heard Yang Zhendong's scolding, the guard captain turned to look at Yang Zhendong and said with a sad face: "Brig Commander, Brigade Commander, I, my brother is half dead. The enemy's firepower is too strong."

Yang Zhendong was very puzzled. Judging from the enemy's troops, it seemed that there was only one regiment, but the firepower was very powerful. He even had artillery troops, which was not in line with a regiment, and it looked more like a division. This Northern Expedition Army was very tenacious, stronger than the Northern Expedition Army that besieged Tonggu. He had not seen such a force in his ten years in his ranks.

"Continue to attack, if we can't open the path, we will all die here!" Yang Zhendong was very irritable. He didn't take this opportunity to open the path. Once the troops in front were finished, they had only a few time.

"Brothers! Brigade Commander Yang is good at us. When he sees loyalty, he will rush forward!" The captain of the guard shouted, got up and rushed up with the troops. The Northern Expedition Army on the opposite side did not fire, but waited for them to enter within 50 meters before starting shooting. Yang Zhendong felt cold and fired before fifty meters. What unit was this? Where did their confidence come from?

Yang Zhendong immediately ordered to send an additional company to support him. As soon as the gunshots of the Northern Expedition Army sounded, the head-bolt attacking troops fell down like mowing grass. The guard captain who rushed in front fell into the grass with a somersault. The attacking troops retreated in panic, and the reinforcements behind arrived, which made them recover a little of their exhausted courage. They got up from the ground and continued to rush forward.

But soon they lay down again. Two fire dragons blocked their way forward. The Northern Expedition Army threw out a series of grenades. Amid the explosions of grenades, Yang's soldiers threw down their bodies and retreated. However, this time they came back, they met the supervising team led by Yang Zhendong himself.

The supervision team waved the big blade and cut off seven or eight heads in succession before driving these people back to the battlefield.
