Chapter 152: Come Fast, Go Faster (Fourth Update)
Night falls. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The spacious and imposing yamen of Yongxin County was brightly lit and lively, and the backbone of the Red Guards carrying knives and guns were all in and out, and the backbone of the peasant associations appointed by surprise were smiling and smiling, and even the corridors outside the main hall were crowded with activists from various villages and towns waiting for the leaders to meet them.
Liu Zhenduan, the new secretary of the county party committee, sat on the big official chair behind the wide desk, calmly listening to the reports of the two right-hand men, and the two thick black eyebrows slowly wrinkled together.
"Why was it only handed over to us forty-three captives? Where did the remaining 200 or so go? Liu Zhen asked majestically.
The assistant with a revolver at his waist replied helplessly: "Their political commissar of the second regiment was very arrogant, threw down the sentence 'everything else has been absorbed', and returned to the camp by himself...... Alas! No one can do anything about this kind of warlord army. ”
The thin deputy secretary who was standing silently behind Liu Zhen showed a little hesitation on his face, looked left and right, and finally said uncertainly:
"I guess when you go to negotiate during the day, you don't pay much attention to what you say, which annoys them."
Liu Zhen was very angry, raised his hand and slammed the table, making a crisp sound of "pop": "Lao Tzu wants to sue them!" I definitely have to sue them, if I can't sue the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, I will sue the central government, and Lao Tzu will not believe in this evil! ”
Report ......
The new captain of the Yongxin County Red Guards ran in panting: "No...... Oh no...... Teach...... The instructors are all gone, and the batch that opened half an hour ago is heading towards Jinggang Mountain in the south, but the batch just now went out from the north gate, and there is no shadow in a blink of an eye! ”
Liu Zhen was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly, "Didn't you leave a word?" ”
"I said it...... They had an operational staff officer at the division headquarters who came out and suggested that we should be on strict guard against the Dian army coming from the Ji'an line, and be careful of the enemy's retaliation and the counterattack of the local tyrants and gentry, but I never expected them to go so fast. The Red Guard replied sputteringly.
Only then did Liu Zhen find out that something was wrong.
With the instructor leaving, the thousands of croppers who were hurriedly gathered under his command could withstand the Dian army that was about to rush from Ji'an to retaliate!
……
……
October 12, evening, Nanchang, Jiangxi Provincial Government Military and Political Conference Hall.
Under the bright lights, more than 20 senior generals of the Third Army and the Ninth Army sat on both sides of the wide long table, and Tang Weiyuan, chief of staff, finished reading out the detailed battle report on the fall of Yongxin County, quietly looked at Zhu Peide, who was in the position of the commander, and sat down silently with a slight hesitation.
The participating generals closed their lips tightly, their expressions were complicated, and their eyes were full of anxiety and embarrassment.
The long sigh sounded again, and Zhu Peide, who was in the handsome position, finally opened his eyes that could not see joy and sorrow:
"Originally, I didn't plan to convene this meeting, compared to the current volatile and crisis-ridden situation, losing a small remote county town is not a big deal, if you lose it, you will lose it, and it will be taken back, there is no need to mobilize the people to call you back, solemnly review the gains and losses, and discuss countermeasures."
"However, after reading the battle report urgently sent by Ji'an this evening, I feel that my old face is hot and hot, and I am embarrassed!"
The generals in the hall couldn't help but hang their heads, silent, thinking about it, they really had a fever on their faces.
The previous Third Army garrison division was blackmailed by Zheng Yi's subordinates, which has made the Dian army a laughing stock in the National Revolutionary Army, and now it has been captured by the same opponent with a charge, and the main force defending the city is still the regiment that was blackmailed before.
What's even worse is that the day when the city fell and the whole army was annihilated was precisely the ****** of the Ninghan side of the Kuomintang to celebrate with great fanfare.
After a long silence, Zhu Peide rubbed his swollen eyebrows, slowly stood up, and sighed long: "I have promised Li Delin and He Jingzhi that I plan to respond to the call of the central government in Nanjing to crusade against Tang Mengxiao, who dominates the two lakes and repeatedly threatens our army. ”
"According to the strategic deployment of the central government, the direction of our army's offensive is Hunan Province, so transferring one or two divisions to the Hunan and Jiangxi borders a few days in advance can not only show our firm position to the central government and all walks of life, but also take back Yongxincheng easily.
After Zhu Peide said this, he left alone, and the full hall of generals hurriedly stood up and sent him off, and then gritted his teeth to formulate a battle plan to recover Yongxin.
……
……
At this moment, Zheng Yi had already led three battalions and one company of elite soldiers away from Yongxin City and went to the familiar town of Longtian where he had stayed to set up camp.
However, Zheng Yi and his deputies were deeply shocked by a message that the communications team suddenly received in the middle of the night:
The Guangzhou Political Branch of the Kuomintang sent a telegram to the whole country, claiming that under the attack of the three-way encirclement and suppression army, He Jinzhai, the commander of the first division of He Long's department, led two regiments of the first division and the second division to abandon their weapons and surrender.
Political commissar Li Zhao and the two regiment leaders were frightened and immediately surrounded Zheng Yi and asked repeatedly.
Zheng Yi already had a strong sense of foreboding in his heart, but he still comforted him: "Don't worry too much, even if this news is true, one of General Ye Ting's main divisions is still there, and the peasant army in eastern Guangdong led by Comrade Peng is still very active, and it will definitely be able to get out of danger by virtue of its favorable location and people." ”
Zhao Jingting, the commander of the second regiment, showed an outstanding psychological quality: "The division commander is right, don't worry too much, it's useless to worry at this time, let's concentrate on ourselves, and then walk 20 kilometers to the border of Hunan Province, although there are two reconnaissance detachments to explore the way, but no one can guarantee that they will not encounter emergencies, and they must maintain a high degree of vigilance in order to respond in advance." ”
Under the reach of the whip, Li Zhao could only sigh faintly: "Lao Zhao is right, if you care, you will be chaotic!" ”
To the surprise of Li Zhao and all the brothers, after walking 20 kilometers the next morning, Zheng Yi suddenly ordered to stop the advance and set up camp.
Seeing that the warm sun was hanging high overhead and the sky was clear, it was the best time to march, and the officers and men did not understand Zheng Yi's order, according to the operations staff officers of several divisional headquarters, as long as they worked harder, they would definitely be able to reach Huotian Town, which was more than 20 kilometers northeast of Chaling, before sunset, which would be more conducive to the reconnaissance of the enemy situation and the rapid response of the troops.
