Section 45 Attack on fresh water (3)
The ancestral hall is in the northwest corner of the village. When it was approaching the ancestral hall, the Fourth Company had quietly dispersed and surrounded the ancestral hall in a fan shape. Jiang Xianyun asked while walking, how many officials were there? How big is the ancestral hall? Is there a back door? I unknowingly asked about the enemy situation and the surrounding environment.
There were no sentries at the entrance of the ancestral hall, no, there were two sentries sitting at the door dozing off. Xia Bo was about to walk out, but Jiang Xianyun grabbed him, covered his mouth and whispered: "Don't be afraid." Then he waved his head to the back, sneaked out from behind, and touched the door of the ancestral hall along the corner of the wall.
Only then did Xia Bo realize that these commanders seemed to be different from the commanders in front of him. He was frightened to see the two soldiers who were dozing at the door being killed quietly.
Jiang Xianyun slowly let go of the hand covering Xia Bo and whispered: "Old man, don't be afraid, don't make a sound, find a place to hide, and you'll be done in a while."
The soldiers of the Fourth Company slowly pushed open the door. The space of the ancestral hall was quite large. There was a patio in the middle. Two fires were lit in the corridor surrounding the patio. However, the fire was almost out, and only some sparks were left, lying around the fire. The people slept soundly and snored.
The soldiers of the Fourth Company quietly walked into the ancestral hall and looked for the officers in it without saying a word. Jiang Xianyun walked into the main hall of the ancestral hall. There was no one inside. Wang Gongliang brought a few officers who had been captured from the crowd into the ancestral hall.
At this time, some of the Chen army soldiers were awakened and found the surrounding school soldiers. They then screamed in horror. There was a riot in the ancestral hall, and Wang Gongliang quickly pressed the bullet. Under the muzzle, there were still soldiers who were not Chen army soldiers instinctively grasping the gun in their hands.
Jiang Xianyun walked out of the main hall and stood at the door of the hall and said loudly to Chen Jun soldiers: "Brothers of Chen Jun, we are the Huangpu Revolutionary Army under the leadership of Premier Sun. You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and we treat the prisoners preferentially. In the future, if you are willing to participate in the revolution, we welcome you. If you are willing to go home, we will give you travel expenses and never force you."
At this time, a second lieutenant came out from behind Jiang Xianyun, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, put down your gun and do not sacrifice in vain."
After hearing their words, Chen Jun soldiers surrendered their guns, but a few soldiers still hesitated. Jiang Xianyun seemed not to see it. Just the strict Wang Gongliang said: "Bail Commander Wang, tell the comrades to strictly abide by discipline, and not to search the prisoners, be beaten and scolded, but did not hear it." Wang Gongliang was stunned, and then saw Jiang Xianyun's eyes, and he had a sudden inspiration: "Yes, regiment commander." Chen Jun officers and soldiers were completely desperate.
Then Jiang Xianyun asked the lieutenant: "What's your name?" "Report to the commander, the lieutenant platoon leader of the Second Detachment of the Third Army of the Guangdong Army, Tan Shaohui."
"Talk about the platoon leader, where is your commander?"
"The company commander did not live here, he lived in the Xia clan leader's house." Xia clan leader is the leader of the Xia clan and the richest man in the village.
Jiang Xianyun asked Battalion Commander Li to arrest people at the Xia clan leader's house, and then continued to interrogate Tan Shaohui.
They were Haifeng who rushed to reinforce Tamsui, followed by the main force of Yin Ji, the third army. The army was originally going to Boluo, but received an order on the way to reinforce Tamsui. According to the order, they should have arrived at Tamsui yesterday, but they spent the night here because it was raining and were preparing to rush to Tamsui tomorrow.
However, Tan Shaohui was just a second lieutenant and didn't know much. After Jiang Xianyun asked, he comforted Tan Shaohui for a few words and locked up with several other officers. Soon, Li Xianzhou also arrested the company commander of the unit. The information obtained after the interrogation was similar to what Tan Shaohui said, but there was an important addition. The subsequent troops were three to five miles away from them, which was because the rain had widened the marching speed and the distance between the front and back.
The soldiers in the Fourth Company were finally able to rest. The cooking squad seized time to boil water and cook, while the soldiers gathered around the fire to roast the already soaked clothes. Jiang Xianyun took the map and studied it carefully.
The arrest of Li Xianzhou naturally alarmed the Xia family. The leader of the Xia clan was worried, so he went to the ancestral hall to take a look and learn about the situation of the new troops.
He came to the ancestral hall with a cane with several family members. After entering the door, he signed up to pay tribute. When the noble army arrived here, he was in a farewell welcomed..., etc. Shuidianxu was located on the road from Huizhou to Tamsui. There were troops passing by all year round. This is the etiquette for ushering in and seeing off. The patriarch had already practiced very skillfully.
Of course, Jiang Xianyun would not say anything. He calmly told the Xia clan leader that our Huangpu school army was here to destroy Chen Jiongming, not to harm the people. Please rest assured that our army will not harass the local area.
The leader of the Xia tribe was skeptical when he heard this, but along the way, he did not see these soldiers entering the villagers' homes. Even if he entered his own home, he would just capture the officers who lived there. He did not make any requests. The young officer who led the team was very polite.
After praise of the benevolent and righteous army, the leader of Xia asked carefully: "I wonder what the commander needs us to do?"
Jiang Xianyun did not speak, but helped the Xia clan leader to a chair and sat down before saying, "We are about to set off, and I hope the Xia clan leader can give us a guide to familiarize ourselves with the road."
"Okay, there is no problem. I will send someone to lead the way for your army as soon as it dawns." The leader of the Xia clan naturally agreed. This requirement was simply too simple.
"It's not dawn, but now." Jiang Xianyun said with a smile.
"Now?" The leader of the Xia tribe was a little surprised. Where else should he go when he was so dark?
"Yes, the military situation is urgent. We will leave after a while. I hope Mr. Xia will send us a guide as soon as possible. Of course, we will pay a certain fee." Jiang Xianyun's attitude was very sincere. Jiang Xianyun not only surprised the leader of the Xia family, but also surprised Wang Gongliang and Li Xianzhou on the side. They all wanted to ask whether it was true or false, but Jiang Xianyun swallowed the words again with a stern look.
The leader of the Xia clan was going to find someone, and a noisy voice came from outside the door. "Why don't you let me in at this time, my ancestral hall? Are you still the revolutionary army?"
Jiang Xianyun was about to ask who it was, but the leader of the Xia tribe said anxiously: "Don't blame me, you are a child Yanglin. I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. I will hit your army. Please forgive me."
Jiang Xianyun laughed and said, "This is your ancestral hall, we are just staying here for a while." Then he asked someone to go to the door to let Xia Yanglin in.
Xia Yang Lin Shi was wearing a blue student outfit and asked, "Are you from the Whampoa Military Academy?"
After receiving the affirmative reply, Xia Yanglin was overjoyed: "I want to join you and go and fight Chen Jiongming with you."
Jiang Xianyun couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance. Wang Gongliang and Li Xianzhou also laughed. Xia clan always scolded angrily: "What are you doing here? The commanders are doing military and national affairs. How can you and other students participate? Don't go home and don't bother the commanders."
"No, Mr. Xia, classmate Xia did not disturb us. Classmate Xia should go home, don't make your father angry." Jiang Xianyun smiled and persuaded him.
"Go home? Comrade, don't listen to my dad. I wanted to take the exam in Huangpu last year, but he refused to let him go. This year I want to stay at school to participate in the Eastern Expedition. He sent someone to the school to say that he is sick. Do you think he looks sick? As a result, when I came back, I locked me up at home and was not allowed to go out. You came to my house tonight, and I found a space to sneak out." Xia Yanglin said angrily.
"Oh," Jiang Xianyun looked at Xia Yanglin with sympathy. He had encountered this situation in Anyuan and Shuikoushan before. Young people wanted to revolution, and elders tried their best to stop him. In the past, he always worked as elders, but not today.
Xia Yanglin was very alert. From Jiang Xianyun's expression, he could not agree to his request, so he did not wait for Jiang Xianyun to speak and snatch up friendship first: "Actually, I also know your people from the Whampoa Military Academy. Your Blood Flower Drama Club has come to our school for performances several times. Li Zhilong, do you know him?" Jiang Xianyun, Wang Gongliang, and Li Xianzhou both laughed.
Xia Yanglin was inspired: "Li Zhilong and I are very familiar with each other. I helped me contact us for the first time to perform at our school."
"What is your school..." Li Xianzhou asked.
"Guangzhou Business School is not far from the Women's Law and Political College. I have seen "The Northern Expedition" and "Revolutionary Youth" of your Blood Flower Drama Club." Xia Yanglin said anxiously. He is also a sensible figure in the school and often participates in various parades and speeches. However, the Xia family has shops in Guangzhou. The Xia clan leader has a very strong relationship with the school's directors. He knows his behavior in the school, so every time he plans to take some fierce actions, he is always stopped by the Xia clan leader who appears in time. For example, this time he wants to join the Eastern Expedition propaganda team, but he is deceived by the Xia clan leader with illness.
Jiang Xianyun advised him: "We are an army and cannot absorb people casually, and you have never taken training..."
"Revolution, no order, no identity; this is the words in "The Northern Expedition". We must have the courage to break an old world and create a new world. This is the words in "Revolutionary Youth". Xia Yanglin interrupted his words and asked: "Are you just saying these words?"
Jiang Xianyun thought to himself that this was not what I said. The former was said by Zhuang Wenge, and the latter was said by Director Zhou.
"Of course not."
"Then why don't you let me participate in the revolution or participate in the battle?" Xia Yanglin's tone was aggressive.
Jiang Xianyun laughed instead of anger. He liked this young man a little.
"Sir Xia, your understanding of revolution is somewhat one-sided; revolution has division of labor. For example, our task is to fight and eliminate the enemy, and your task is to mobilize the masses and promote the revolution."
"Mobilize the masses?" Xia Yanglin asked in confusion.
"Yes, publicize the revolutionary principles to the masses, and then organize the masses, such as organizing trade unions and farmers' associations here." Jiang Xianyun explained patiently.
When the leader of the Xia clan heard this, he thought that this person would not steal things and people. After his son went to Guangzhou to study, he became very outspoken in his thoughts. He was revolutionary and revolution all day long. Revolution was so easy. Sun Yat-sen had been in revolution for decades but he didn't see anything he had done. The soldiers were still soldiers, foreigners were still foreigners, and the Chinese suffered or suffered. Therefore, he firmly opposed his son's revolution, and quietly studied and inherited his family business. This was not good, why did he do that revolution?
Seeing that Jiang Xianyun was going to tell his son some revolutionary principles, he quickly interrupted: "Yang Lin, go back first, don't delay the chief's rest, they will still have to rush forward later."
"It's so late, are you going there?" Xia Yanglin ignored his father and just asked Jiang Xianyun in confusion.
Jiang Xianyun couldn't tell them the details, but he just ambiguously replaced the task.
Xia Yanglin's eyes rolled and then said, "Then I'll go with you, I'm familiar with this place."
When the leader of the Xia tribe was a little panicked when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Son, the chief is going to fight, why are you going to join in the fun?"
"Well, why are you joining in the fun? It's so late, they are not familiar with this area at all. Don't you need someone to lead the way?" Xia Yanglin shouted. What a smart young man, Jiang Xianyun exclaimed in his heart.
"Are you familiar with this area? You won't get lost at night?" "Of course, I ran in this area at the age of seven or eight, from Tamsui to Huizhou. I know everything from the main roads and small roads. Not to mention at night, you can find a way even with your eyes closed." Xia Yanglin said without hesitation.
Jiang Xianyun was a little suspicious of him bragging. Seeing that Jiang Xianyun didn't believe it, Xia Yanglin was a little anxious. He pointed his finger and introduced what roads to go from here to Tamsui and what to pay attention to; and then talked about Huizhou...
The leader of the Xia tribe had no choice but to be familiar with the road, Xia Yanglin was indeed very familiar with it. His family had shops in Huizhou, Tamsui. He was also a person who couldn't sit still. He went there two days later and came back after the end, regardless of the time and night.
Jiang Xianyun was relieved now, so he turned to work as the leader of Xia tribe. He promised him not to let Xia Yanglin participate in the battle and would definitely let him go home safely. Leader Xia tribe had no choice but to agree, but he still sent two people to follow him.
After seeing off the Xia clan leader, Wang Gongliang and Li Xianzhou Wang Jiaxiu immediately surrounded Jiang Xianyun and asked him what he wanted to do. Jiang Xianyun spread the map and pointed to the map and said, "Look, Danshui is the gateway of Huizhou. The enemy will definitely guard Danshui. This is our location. It is only about eight miles away from Danshui. It only takes about 3 or 40 minutes to arrive. The main force of the enemy reinforcements is behind us. It is estimated that it should be... Here, Zhongguwei, because
There is no other place for them to shelter from the rain. It is only five miles away from us. Since they are reinforcements of Danshui, it means that Danshui defends the enemy's troops. If we wait until tomorrow, then the enemy's reinforcements will probably arrive at Danshui first. You must know that Hong Zhaotian is from Boluo, Ye Ju and Huizhou are reinforcements of Danshui. If our army attacks Danshui tonight, as long as we can take down a city gate, we will have greater victories tomorrow and the casualties of the troops will be reduced."
"What if the attack fails and the enemy discovers it?" Li Xianzhou asked.
"It is entirely possible, but in this way our losses will not be great. We just need to retreat. The enemy dare not pursue it at night." Jiang Xianyun was very confident.
Several people then had a discussion, and they inquired in detail about the city height, moat and other situations in Tanshui, Xiayang.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Fourth Company of the 1st Battalion 2nd Battalion was taught to leave Shuidian Ruins and quietly bloom towards Tamsui under the night.
(Xia Yanglin's eyes widened: I canvassed, I am a newcomer. If you have a ticket, you can help the ticket shop. If you don't have a ticket, you can collect it quickly.)
