Section 56 Cotton Lake (2)
(Second modifications to the section posted in the morning were mainly because the explanation of the Mianhu battlefield was not clear enough, and I didn't expect it to be regarded as a fake update. I'm so resentful, even more resentful than Dou E.)
At three o'clock in the morning of the fifth day, Liao Zhongkai rushed to Mianhu from Puning. When he saw that the lights of the command center were still on, he felt a little strange, so he walked towards the command center. The guard standing guard outside the door was about to speak, but Liao Zhongkai raised his hand and made a gesture of silence. The guard saluted quietly and let him push open the door.
When Chiang Kai-shek heard someone coming in, he did not turn around and just asked: "Have you found the Seventh Brigade? Where are they now?"
"Keishi, why haven't you rested yet?"
When Chiang Kai-shek turned around, he couldn't help laughing. Liao Zhongkai looked down at his body inexplicably. It was nothing, straw sandals, military uniforms, and red ribbons, which was normal.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "Brother Zhongkai, this is the first time I have seen you wearing military uniforms. Your military uniform is inappropriate."
Liao Zhongkai looked up and down, spread his hands and said, "It's wrong there, isn't it all?"
Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "Your military uniform is the military uniform of an officer, but you are not wearing the officer's horse boots, but the straw sandals. Fortunately, our school soldiers know you, and changing troops may be able to capture you as a spy."
Liao Zhongkai looked at himself and Chiang Kai-shek, and couldn't help laughing. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "You are still wearing a suit." Then he asked, "Brother Zhongkai, why have you come to the front line?"
"I am the party representative of the school army. If I don't come to the front line, where will I go?" Liao Zhongkai said with a smile. Seeing Chiang Kai-shek frowning as if he was about to speak, he said first: "I, the party representative, were not present for several battles in the school army. I will not let down the name of the party representative, so I must participate this time; Jieshi should not persuade me. In addition, don't worry, I will never interfere with your command. I will do my capable work, encourage the soldiers and transport ammunition."
Chiang Kai-shek shook his head helplessly. Liao Zhongkai's words blocked everything he wanted to say. He had known Liao Zhongkai for so long, and he knew that once this man made up his mind, he would not be able to pull back even if he was nine cows.
So he gave up his plan to persuade him to go back and shouted outside the door: "Guard."
The guards outside the door came in, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered: "Give my room to the party representative."
Liao Zhongkai quickly stopped him: "This is not possible. Jieshi, how can you command the war if you don't have a good rest? Keep the room, I just need to find a place to sleep for a while."
"How can you do it? You rushed from Jieyang to Puning, and then from Puning here. You ran back and forth for hundreds of miles. If you don't have a good rest, how can you march tomorrow? Besides, I can't sleep." Chiang Kai-shek felt worried when he said this.
"Why is the situation not good? There are many enemies?" Liao Zhongkai looked melancholy when he saw Chiang Kai-shek.
"It's nothing. There are not many enemies, it's roughly the same as our army. However, the 7th Brigade has lost contact. I have sent someone to find them and are waiting for their news." Chiang Kai-shek said casually.
"You'd better go to bed. You'll probably encounter an enemy tomorrow. I'll think about it."
Seeing this, Liao Zhongkai knew that he would not be able to stay here, so he agreed.
After seeing off Liao Zhongkai, Chiang Kai-shek returned to the table, picked up the map and studied it carefully, and then thought about it while looking. After a while, footsteps sounded behind him.
"Why aren't you resting?" Chiang Kai-shek turned around, but it was Galen. Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly asked Galen to sit down, and poured water for Galen himself. Then he said:
"Gallon Consultant, you're here just in time. I'm going to find you if I have something to do."
"Is it about the 7th Brigade going around?" asked Galen.
Chiang Kai-shek was stunned and realized in a blink of an eye that it was true that Jialun had not been asleep for a night.
"Yes, consultant," Chiang Kai-shek saw that Gallon also mentioned this issue and was more confident in his judgment. He pulled the map in front of Gallon.
"You see, although our army has a slight advantage in total strength compared to our army, since the 7th Brigade has to detour Tatoubu (more than ten kilometers away from Mianhu), our army has only two regiments on the front, with a 6,000 vs. 3,000 troops. Our army has only half of the forces. Although our army is very morale, after all, it is exhausted from a long battle. Can the front be defended? If the front is defeated, the 7th Brigade's detour is meaningless."
"You are right, and this is why I came here. Our army has relatively weak forces on the front. So we need to adjust the deployment, but it is not advisable to give up roundabouts. But we can adjust the roundabout forces and let General Xu transfer a regiment back to strengthen the front." Gallen said without hesitation.
The two of them had basically the same judgment, so there was no need to discuss and argue anymore. Chiang Kai-shek immediately wrote three notes, then called three staff officers, and asked them to take a group of people to go to the Dog Belly, Tongkeng, and Lu Ziyang to find the 7th Brigade, and at the same time ordered them to destroy the order if they encountered an enemy.
At 5:30 in the morning, before the day was completely dawn, the first regiment was taught to leave the camp and began to search for Qingyu. The first battalion served as avant-garde, the second battalion was on the right wing, the student team was on the left wing, and the third battalion was the reserve team.
The troops set off in the morning light, and the soldiers drove out of the village in groups. Only slight footsteps came from the silence, and the occasional low joking between the soldiers. The dewdrops on the leaves on the grass on the roadside wet the soldiers' straw sandals, leggings and shoulders.
He Yingqin rode a little yellow horse and stood beside a wheat haystack outside the entrance of the village, quietly watching the troops set out. Chiang Kai-shek had informed him of the adjustment and deployment, and at the same time, he was informed that he might meet Lin Jun today, so the vanguard must be careful.
The first regiment was very cautious in its actions. The first battalion of the forward battalion was the first company, the second company was in front and the third company was behind, and searched forward in an inverted triangle. After more than two hours, it took only seven or eight miles.
As the enemy's camp was getting closer and closer, Chiang Kai-shek's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Did the people sent last night find the 7th Brigade, whether the 7th Brigade could come back in time, whether the information was true; whether the 2nd Corps could defeat the enemy in front of him... Why didn't the enemy be discovered? Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
Liao Zhongkai and Director Zhou walked with the front team. The troops were not moving fast, so the front team was very relaxed. There were people joking all the way, and there were no low laughter in the team.
After becoming a "war correspondent", Gong Xiuhua left the propaganda team and walked around the army. Now she was walking with the Political Department, chatting with He Zhonghan and Deng Wenyi while walking, trying to get some Zhuang Jihua's situation. In Jieyang, Zhuang Jihua once again refused her interview, which made her angry and curious.
When the gate was on the gate, it was already dawn, and Lin Hu's troops also began to set off towards Mianhu. Lin Hu was in a good mood and his purpose was almost achieved. Hong Zhaolin was over. Yesterday he received a report that he had conquered Haifeng. Now the retreat of the Eastern Expedition Army has been cut off by him. As long as he defeated the Huangpu School Army in front, Dongjiang will be his. No, Guangdong will be his.
His representatives had already agreed with Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan, and he would replace Chen Jiongming to take charge of Dongjiang. Then the three families would join forces to support Duan Qirui and drive Sun Yat-sen's Grand Marshal's Mansion out of Guangzhou and ban **. Of course, this was just his first plan. Then he would support the Yunnan-Guangdong army to fight back to Yunnan and Guangxi, so Guangdong would be his.
Lin Hu looked at Huang Renhuan, Huang Xingye, and Wang Dinghua next to him easily. The two stood by respectfully, and there were a large group of staff guards around him. Lin Hu smiled and said, "The Huangpu School Army is just a group of students, Hong Zhaolin, a fool, can't even deal with a group of students. Now we have to wipe his butt."
"Commander, the school army won consecutive battles and had high morale. We should be careful." Huang Renhuan is Lin Hu's confidant and Lin Hu's fellow villager. He has always been cautious in combat and is very different from Lin Hu's combat style, but Lin Hu admires him because of this.
"Ren Huan, you are too careful. I have more than 10,000 people here. How many people are there in the Huangpu School Army? Two regiments, there are only 4,000 people. I already respect them very much. Do you think so?" Lin Hu asked the staff around him carelessly. Of course, the staff members agreed unanimously.
Lin Hu walked to his sedan chair. This was a big green sedan chair with two people sitting in it at the same time. Eight strong soldiers were responsible for carrying the sedan chair. The adjutant behind the sedan chair was leading a white horse. In some cases, Marshal Lin also needed to ride a horse. Lin Hu got into the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and said to Huang Renhuan: "Tell your brothers that if you defeat the Huangpu school army, each person will be rewarded with ten yuan, and the injured will be doubled."
"Yes, commander." Huang Renhuan replied loudly, and then he also sat in his sedan chair.
In Zengtang Village, Guan Linzheng's troops were slowly searching forward. The terrain of this area was a bit strange. Except for one or two high grounds on the right, the rest were flat paddy fields. However, there were a series of mounds covered with small trees. The paddy fields were dense weeds, which affected the sight. The vanguards of the vanguard group bent and ran back, whispering to report that there were about 200 meters ahead, about four or five hundred people. Guan Linzheng immediately sent someone to report to the company headquarters, and at the same time gathered the troops over, formed three rows, and quietly touched forward.
Sure enough, after a few steps, the enemy in front came over. The enemy was also in a scattered formation and advanced in search. The soldiers of Guan Pai squatted down and quietly hid. When Guan Lin was waiting for the enemy to enter sixty or seventy meters, he shouted in a deep voice: "Fight."
At 8:40 am on the 5th, Guan Lin Zhengbo fired the first shot of the bloody battle in Mianhu.
