This is a difficult decision and a huge risk. If you take a step back and agree, you will agree, but the variables are too large and there are too many factors that cannot be determined. Once there is a deviation, not only will more than 3,000 people here be destroyed, but also the remaining troops participating in the battle will die.

Just as they were hesitating, Chiang Kai-shek's telegram came again. This time, it was no longer for them to consider it, but directly ordered them to stick to it for twelve days. Chiang Kai-shek's words were very polite and encouraged them to carry forward the tradition of the party and army and not be afraid of sacrifice. At the same time, they reminded them that they are the hub of the entire battle and are crucial to the entire battle. They must exert twelve points of ability to ensure the success of the battle.

In just a few hours, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude suddenly changed. The previous telegram had the intention of asking for advice, but the latter telegram was completely different, and there was no room for bargaining. Zhuang Jihua didn't know what happened, but his intuition told him that something new must have happened to Chiang Kai-shek.

Indeed, it was not a new situation in Chiang Kai-shek's headquarters, but a new situation in Guangzhou. After establishing Chiang Kai-shek as the representative of the new right, he began to think about weakening Chiang Kai-shek's power and limiting the development of Chiang Kai-shek's power. If this action was not so urgent at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, then the Northern Expedition had made great progress now, and Chiang Kai-shek's reputation as the commander-in-chief among ordinary people has become increasingly high, so the call for restricting Chiang Kai-shek is becoming more and more urgent.

The war on the front line of the Northern Expedition could not be hidden in the siege of the National Government and the Kuomintang Central Committee in Guangzhou. Under the city of Wuchang, Chiang Kai-shek failed to siege the city, and Liu Zhi lied about military information. These two incidents had a certain impact on Chiang Kai-shek's prestige. Some members of the Central Committee of Guangzhou took the opportunity to propose to welcome Wang's reinstatement. This proposal was welcomed by ** and the leftists of the Kuomintang. Zhang Jingjiang could not control it and quietly telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek that when Chen Lifu handed the telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek quickly calculated that only victory, a particularly large victory, could push his prestige to the peak again and block the trend of reinstatement of Wang. So Chiang Kai-shek changed his course and instead supported the plan of Garren, and immediately telegraphed Zhuang Jihua to hold on to Niuxing Station for twelve days.

"Now, we don't have to worry about it." Chiang Kai-shek made a decision for Zhuang Jihua, so Zhuang Jihua had no choice: "Order the cadres above the company to attend the League headquarters for a meeting."

"Cultural Revolution, do we really want to stick here?" Xue Yue hesitated with hope. Xiong Shouyun did not ask, but turned around and conveyed the order. When he received the order, he knew that Zhuang Jihua would definitely implement it. Lin Lei would not make any other decision.

"A command is an order, whether it is correct or not, it must be executed; Commander Xue, the army is not a place, it can be negotiated and democratic. The army's orders are compulsory;" Zhuang Jihua said firmly. Then he saw that Xue Yue was still dissatisfied, so he said, "For example, if you order to charge, the soldiers said that the enemy's machine gun is still calling, and they will die if they rush up. Is this possible?

Xue Yue smiled bitterly: "Damn it, it seems that the more than 100 kilograms are going to be assigned here. The commander!" There was no confidence in his words. Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "Captain Xue Yue, if you command the battle with this mentality, you will definitely not be able to survive the end of the battle. You have to consider how to complete the task and survive."

After the messenger left, the room was temporarily quiet. Xiong Shouyun also came back. He hesitated for a long time before he asked: "Cultural Revolution. Do you think we can really stay for twelve days?"

"I don't know, I just tried my best to complete the task. As for whether I can complete the twelve-day mission, it depends on everyone. First of all, you two." Without the presence of the subordinate officer, Zhuang Jihua usually tells the truth.

"If we want to defend, we must first solve two problems," said Xue Yue. "Food and ammunition, our ammunition is only enough for three days. There is no other place except for every soldier."

Before the Northern Expedition, each soldier carried three base ammunition for three days of rations, which was definitely not enough for twelve days of combat.

"There are still some food and ammunition. When we conquered Niu Train Station, we found some rice in the station warehouse. There were more than 100 packs of sacks filled with more than 100 kilograms, about 100 kilograms. In addition to the two groups of ammunition seized, there were also some ammunition in the warehouse, but not much, and the main place was captured by us." Xiong Shouyun added.

"Oh, there is also food." Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised. When Xue Yue talked about food and ammunition, he was not worried about ammunition. After all, more than two groups of ammunition were left by him. What he really worried about was food. Unexpectedly, Xiong Shouyun actually gave him a surprise.

"It has been sealed a long time ago. At the beginning, what I want to report to you is one after another. You usually don't care about these things and forget them after busy work. If Captain Xue hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it first." Xiong Shouyun said sadly.

Only then did Zhuang Jihua remember that Xiong Shouyun was in charge of the counting and seizure of everything, and he only signed it.

"You go and check it out later. How many are there? You must figure it out clearly."

More than 10,000 kilograms, more than more, less than less, but three thousand people can only eat for a few days, so the food is still not enough, but in a moment, they went there to find food again.

This is a problem that no one can solve.

If you can't solve the problem, stay there. There is always a way to do it when the time comes.

"Do you remember the couplet on the military academy gate?" At the beginning of the meeting, Zhuang Jihua asked a question outside the battlefield.

"Report to the deputy commander, remember!" someone immediately stood up and replied.

Zhuang Jihua nodded and asked those who did not speak: "Where are you?"

"Remember!" This time the answer was neat and powerful: "Please go by the bypass if you get promoted and get rich. Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and fear death."

"Yes, you can get promoted and get rich, be greedy for life and fear death, and don't go to Huangpu. Students from Huangpu must be prepared for the revolution," Zhuang Jihua looked at the people attending the meeting with a serious expression. These are all students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, one, two, and three.

"Today, just now, I received an order from the commander-in-chief, that is, our principal, who ordered us to stay here for twelve days."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked at the bottom. Their expressions could be seen from their surprise, but no one whispered. Perhaps the meeting now made them realize that there had been a major change in the situation.

"The Commander-in-Chief no longer accepts our breakthrough, but lets us stick to the Niuxing Station, which shows that the Commander-in-Chief is planning a major battle. In this battle, our position is crucial and will determine the development of the entire battle situation. Students, it is time to fulfill our oath to enter the school, twelve days! We must stay here for twelve days! Even if there is one person left, we must be here like a nail!" Zhuang Jihua punched the table and roared angrily.

"Preserve the bull's walk and practice the oath!" Xiong Shouyun stepped out and shouted with his arms raised.

"Never retreat, fight to the death!" Song Xiongfu stood up and shouted loudly.

"Hold the bull's walk and fight to the end!" More people stood up.

Zhuang Jihua signaled everyone to sit down, and then said, "It's still a little time before dawn. Please hurry up and write your suicide note. Twelve days later, the living person will be responsible for sending the suicide note of his dead comrades home."

Zhuang Jihua's eyes were a little wet when he said this. The oldest officer of the two regiments was Xue Yue's chief of staff Xi Nuping, who was only 33 years old. The others were almost all young people in their twenties. After this battle, even if God could survive, God would be open to his eyes.

Overnight, all deployments changed. Before dawn, the General Command of the Northern Expedition Army issued a series of telegrams, and the Northern Expedition Army in Jiangxi began to take action according to the new plan.

Lai Shihuang on the southern line drew Xiong Shihui's first division as the vanguard and rushed from Nanfeng to Nancheng; the first army occupied Ji'an, three divisions, Wei Lihuang's division as the left wing, and Gu Zhutong as the right wing rushed towards Yihuang; most of the Gan army on the southern route were drawn to counterattack Nanchang, and the left-behind Yang Chisheng and other troops were defeated troops in Guangdong, and they could not stop the three attacks of the Northern Expedition Army. The chaos retreated to Fuzhou one after another, and sent a telegram to Nanchang for reinforcements.

Zhu Peide in the middle began to attack Zhangshu, and at the same time launched the second army on the north bank of the Ganjiang River, led by Lu Diping to launch an attack on Gao'an. Since then, the consequences of Deng Ruzhuo taking the Western Front were undoubtedly revealed. Zhu Peide quickly captured Zhangshu and advanced towards Fengcheng. Lu Diping overcame Gao'an and attacked Xishan. Sun's army in the middle line was in chaos and telegrams for reinforcements. Deng Ruzhuo received the West at the same time, and was a little frivolous in asking for help from the South. Finally, he took Jiang Zhenchen and others to the South Line and handed over the entire Western Line to Zheng Junyan. Zheng Junyan left Tang Fusheng and others to guard Nanchang and sent the 10th Division to Fengcheng and Xishan, but he himself was still at Niuxing Station. He was preparing to deal with Zhuang Jihua of Niuxing Station and then go to the Western Line.

Sun Chuanfang on the Yangtze River set up a trap and was waiting for Li Zongren to jump in. Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly disappeared and could not find him everywhere. Six days later, he suddenly appeared in Ruoxi and annihilated Xie Hongxun, who had suffered a great loss from Zhuang Jihua, and the 20,000 Sun Army was destroyed. Then he took advantage of the victory to conquer De'an and threatened the Nanxun Line.
