This tragic night attack greatly damaged Yang Geng and Lu's vitality, and also disrupted Zheng Junyan's attack deployment the next day. He revoked the morning's attack order.

After receiving the report of Yang Genghe being attacked, Zheng Junyan immediately ordered Liang Hongen and Peng Dequan to launch an anti-night attack. The two of them were a little careful and each sent a company to conduct a test. As a result, they were defeated by Song Xiongfu and Cai Yue who were treated strictly.

The successful sneak attack made the first division very excited, but Zhuang Jihua felt a little sad about the price he paid. Ninety people in the reconnaissance line went out and fifty-four people, and the third battalion also paid the price of seventy-two people killed and thirty-one injured. In particular, nearly half of the reconnaissance line suffered losses, which made him heartbroken. After he carefully asked about the battle, he scolded Song Yunfei fiercely, criticizing him for not attacking Yang Geng and the command center, causing unnecessary casualties.

At this moment, Zhuang Jihua's prestige in the first division was even comparable to Chiang Kai-shek. He was surrounded for four days and had less than 500 casualties, but he annihilated more than 2,000 enemies. This result made all the officers and soldiers of the division sincerely admire him.

Although Chiang Kai-shek ordered to stick to Niuxing Station, he was also in a state of great slight trajectory. Zhuang Jihua had to report to him every day. After receiving the news of the night attack, he was extremely excited and more confident in defending Niuxing Station.

"The First Division is worthy of being our army's strong brigade and deserves commendation." Bai Chongxi said without any pain. He was skeptical of this victory, and he did not trust the results of the first military system.

"As long as I can guard Niuxing Station, I will personally award him a medal after the war!" Chiang Kai-shek heard Bai Chongxi's implicit meaning, but the battle is not over now, and he dared not speak too much.

"Order Gu Zhutong to speed up the intensity of the attack. Today, Fuzhou must be taken down! Otherwise, the military law will be severely punished!" After conquering Ganzhou, Li Jishen returned to Guangdong and was still responsible for the task of staying in Guangdong. Gu Zhutong took office as commander-in-chief of the southern line. Chiang Kai-shek changed his tone and said, "Where the large number of Zheng Junyan's troops were trapped at Niuxing Station, all units must step up their attacks and encircle Nanchang as soon as possible. Jiansheng, where is Delin?"

"It is not easy to hide traces near the Nanxun Line. Therefore, Delian decided to detour to Wuning and head south from the Dewu border. This area is mountainous and easily hide traces. Yesterday they had already left Ruichang and entered Wuning." Bai Chongxi said, finding Li Zongren's location on the map and pointing it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded while watching, and he was not good at saying anything to Li Zongren. The Seventh Army and the Fourth Army made great contributions on the battlefield in Hunan and were the two major power brigades of the Northern Expedition Army.

"Okay, Delinda is moving very quickly and his task is very heavy. Whether Lu Xiangting can be restrained depends on him." Chiang Kai-shek said earnestly to Bai Chongxi.

Bai Chongxi knew what Chiang Kai-shek meant. He hoped that he would urge Li Zongren to speed up, take De'an as soon as possible, and restrain Lu Xiangting in the middle of the Nanxun Line. Lin Lei

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I'll urge him again." Bai Chongxi agreed immediately without any ambiguity.

Chiang Kai-shek's orders were quickly issued to all regions, and the battlefields in Jiangxi suddenly became fierce.

Outside the southern Fuzhou city, artillery fire flew, and the soldiers of the 14th Army of the Army were bleeding from the city. After receiving the telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, Gu Zhutong did not dare to neglect it. He led Xiong Shihui, Wei Lihuang and Xu Yuanquan to attack Fuzhou. Three division commanders personally came to the front line to supervise the battle. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army braved the rain of bullets on the city and fought hard to grab the city. Yang Chisheng and Yang Ruxuan resisted hard, trying to defend the last strong city south of Nanchang; Deng Ruzhuo led the Central First Division of the Headquarters and the Jiangzhenchen Division of the Jiangxi First Division to rush to Fuzhou through Jinxian. The chariots and horses were rippling. The people were roaring.

Zhu Peide from the middle line commanded the Third Army to launch an attack on the 10th Division of Fengcheng Defense Army Li Junsheng's Brigade and Liu Baoti Brigade of the 10th Division of Fengcheng Defense Army. Li Junsheng and Liu Baoti struggled to defend Fengcheng and frequently asked Zheng Junyan for emergency. After Lu Diping led the second army to conquer Gao'an, he defeated Tang Fushan in Zhangjiashan and advanced to the west along the border of Anyi Xinjian County. Tang Fushan lost consecutive battles and repeatedly sought help. Zheng Junyan had no troops to send. Unless he did not defend Nanchang anymore.

On the northern line, Sun Chuanfang was waiting for Li Zongren to attack Jiujiang. Xie Hongxun's troops set out from De'an to detour Wuning to capture Li Zongren's retreat. Lu Xiangting's troops left Tujiabu and moved closer to Jiujiang. The encircled *** had been laid; but Li Zongren quietly led the seven armies to Ruichang and detour Wuning south. The three armies were quiet and walked away with a quick lead. He did not hear the order, but saw people walking.

On September 28, Chiang Kai-shek led the Second Division to Gao'an and established a general headquarters in Xiangrui Town outside Gao'an City.

The changes in the battlefield in the central and southern regions attracted Sun Chuanfang's attention. He was deeply dissatisfied with Zheng Junyan's delay in taking down Niuxing Station, and even urged him to take down Niuxing as soon as possible with a stern wording.

Zheng Junyan gave Sun Chuanfang's telegram to Peng Dequan and three other brigade commanders, and he had to do so now.

After the night attack, Yang Genghe was worried that the army suffered too much casualties, and he was cheating every time he attacked; Liang Hongen followed suit, and his army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 600 casualties in a few days; the attitudes of these two people directly affected Peng Dequan.

Now that Sun Chuanfang's telegram has arrived, Sun Xinshuai, the foreign worker, will kill someone.

The Niuxing Station was full of artillery fire, and Zheng Junyan was not sure which direction was the main attack and that direction was the assist, but the attack on the whole line. There was only one requirement to conquer Niuxing Station and wipe out Zhuang Jihua's troops.

Zhuang Jihua couldn't sit still at the command center. He climbed up to the roof and observed the situation on the front line from a high place. Today, the enemy continued to attack like crazy. Song Xiongfu on the front had repelled five attacks in a row, but every time the enemy went down, he replaced a group of new forces and launched another attack. The position was broken several times and blocked several times.

"Report, Battalion Commander Song requested reinforcements."

Zhuang Jihua knew that the front was not good. Song Xiongfu was a man who knocked off his teeth and swallowed blood. He would never ask for reinforcements until the last moment.

"Order the Fifth Company to reinforce the First Battalion." At this moment, Zhuang Jihua was no longer as elegant and warm as before. He was now pale, his beard was unshaven, his eyes were deep, and his general uniform was almost wrinkled.

Although the situation in the first battalion was critical, it was not the one that made Zhuang Jihua the most anxious. What he was worried about was Xue Yue's side.

Although Liang Hongen's offensive was fierce, his troops were not close enough. Zhuang Jihua discovered in the telescope that Liang Hongen always used several troops repeatedly. This army's spirit gradually disappeared during the day's offensive, and Song Xiongfu, who received reinforcements, would definitely be able to defend his position.

But Peng Dequan is different. He is well equipped and has strong troops. He can use two thousand people to repeatedly attack the third regiment. Can the third regiment withstand it?

Just as Zhuang Jihua was worried, an officer rushed up from the smoke.

"Report... Report, the frontier of the Third Regiment was broken through, the Eighth Battalion Commander Cai Yue died, and Commander Xue asked for reinforcements." The officer ran to the ground too anxiously. He was a little angry.

Today is only the sixth day, and the mission is only half completed. Zhuang Jihua began to consider it was time to use artillery. He has not used artillery. He just plans to stay in the final stage.

"Order the Ninth Battalion to be transferred to the command of the Regiment Commander Xue."

"Order Deputy Commander Xiong to organize all the political workers and civilians from the division headquarters and the regiment headquarters and form a team."

"Order the artillery to aim at the front of the Third Regiment and prepare for firing."

Zhuang Jihua quickly issued a series of commands, and these commands were executed immediately.

Xue Yue also stood on the roof of the small temple hall to observe the enemy situation. Peng Dequan's land was beyond Zhuang Jihua's imagination. He devoted four regiments to the third regiment position and filled the eighth battalion's position with corpses. All the 22nd Company were killed in battle, but none survived. Peng Dequan continued to attack the second-line position, and Cai Yue led the 24th Company to fight to the death. Xue Yue promptly drew 21st Company from the 7th Battalion to reinforce. After a bloody battle, the enemy's army was destroyed. The battalion commander Cai Yue fell on the blood-stained ground.

Cai Yue's sacrifice ended the fierce battle all day. Zheng Junyan attacked regardless of casualties and made only a little progress. The soldiers of the first division were covered in blood, but they still blocked the enemy's attack.

The sun sets, and the earth is bloody; the wind of the river is cold, but it cannot blow away the blood in the air.

"Everyone, I know that your casualties are very serious, but Xin Shuai has sent a telegram again. You can take a look." Zheng Junyan's command center handed the telegram to the three brigade commanders with a gloomy face.

Peng Dequan reported the telegram, and Sun Chuanfang's cold and fierce voice seemed to immediately ring in his ears: "Why hasn't the Niuxing Station been slow? How can three thousand weak men resist tens of thousands of bravery? Do generals at all levels have the idea of ​​preserving their strength? Military law is ruthless. I hope you all will be young.

Looking at the three huge exclamation marks behind, Peng Dequan couldn't help but shivered, and Yang Genghe and Liang Hongen also showed fear after seeing them.

"Commander, you can see the ground," said Liang Hongencai for a long time: "We have not preserved our strength. Today, there were 500 casualties in our unit. Two battalion commanders who participated in the attack were killed, five company commanders were seriously injured. From the attack to today, my brigade's casualties and almost half of the casualties in the country."

"I attacked two days later, and the casualties were almost one-third." Yang Geng and he was extremely bitter when he said this.

"My army has almost 1,600 casualties," Peng Dequan's voice was a little desolate. He attacked the most fiercely, with the greatest results and the greatest casualties: "Damn, what kind of troops is this? Where did Zhuang Jihua pop out? I have never heard of it before. Isn't the First Division the commander of Wang Boling?"

"I know, you have not preserved your strength. I have reported Xin Shuai to Xin in the battle situation today." Zheng Junyan understood them very well. Now he has completely curbed his arrogance: "But, come and have a look."

After saying that, Zheng Junyan led the three of them to the front of the map.

"The Northern Expedition Army launched an attack on the middle and south roads. At first I thought they wanted to rescue Niu Xing, but now it seems a bit dissatisfied. They may have a bigger purpose."

"You see, if Deng Ruzhuo could not stop the Party's Northern Expedition Army in Fuzhou, the Northern Expedition Army occupied Jinxian, and Zhu Peide from the middle road was attacking Fengcheng. If he was allowed to clear the east bank of the Ganjiang River; the Northern Expedition Army on the west bank captured Xishan again, in this way, the Nanchang area would be surrounded on three sides, and even more terrible is Niuxing Station, which is stuck in our throat. Whether we are sticking to Nanchang or retreating to Jiujiang to the north, we cannot avoid this place, so we must pull out this nail."

Zheng Junyan said while observing the expressions of the three people. Seeing that the three people were not stopping, he continued to say, "So we must remove this nail before the encirclement of the Northern Expedition Army is formed, not for others, but for ourselves."
