At this time, on the contrary, Liu Shaojun, a young combat staff officer, did not have so many worries and truthfully said his thoughts:

"I think this possibility is very high, in contrast, the new third division of the Guangdong army does not have any burden, but has a great initiative on the battlefield, even if the third and fifth regiments of our division capture Huichang, it will take two days before the news reaches a hundred miles away, and it is difficult to say whether the third division of the Guangdong army will react at that time.

"If this enemy force ignores it and goes straight to Yudu, where we are now, the whole situation will take a sharp turn for the worse."

All the brothers nodded their heads one after another, and Zheng Yi immediately encouraged: "Xiao Liu, you go on, do the math, if the newly formed third division of the Guangdong Army quietly turns around and goes straight to Yudu, how long will it take?" ”

Liu Shaojun was greatly encouraged, pondered for a moment and replied confidently: "There are two roads from Xinfeng to Yudu in the north, one is to go north to Ganzhou through Nankang, and then turn east and arrive at Yudu along the Ganjiang River, but this best road has not seen the shadow of the Yue army at present, and Jiangkou Town, the gateway to Yudu, is still firmly controlled by us. ”

"The other road is from Xinfeng to the east, deep into the mountains that span nearly 100 miles from north to south, from Gupi and Xintian to Banshi Town on the north bank of the Lianjiang River, and then all the way to the north, through Chongshi, Loess Kan, Baimaoxi, Pangu Mountain, Tieshanyuan, all the way to Yudu for 70 kilometers."

"I don't know the specific training situation of the new third division of the Guangdong army, I can only expect the enemy to be lenient, and take the speed of our division's march as the basis for calculation, and the result is: If the new third division of the Guangdong army has arrived in Xinfeng County, it will arrive in Yudu in four days at the earliest!"

"If this enemy army carries artillery and grain and grass baggage, the arrival time in Yudu will be postponed by a day to a day and a half, although a total of more than 120 kilometers of mountain roads can be carried by horse-drawn carriages, but the mountains are extended, the bends and slopes are steep, and the marching speed will not be very fast, and if you can walk 30 kilometers a day, you can count it as an elite soldier."

The brothers' eyes suddenly lit up and they glanced at each other, Zhao Jingting stood up and suggested loudly: "Since this is the case, then let's first pack up the first division of the Dian Army that is about to leave for Guangchang?" Several parts of the enemy are advancing in unison, and it seems to be menacing, but as long as you destroy one of them, the rest will be easy to deal with! ”

Zheng Yi nodded with a smile: "Let's think of going together, since the Cantonese army in the south has not moved for a long time, let's just ignore him first, deputy chief of staff-"

"Here!"

Zhang Yao quickly ran out of the telecommunications room on the east side and came to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi patted Zhang Yao on the shoulder and dictated the order: "Two telegram orders were issued to Political Commissar Li and Chief of Staff Wang respectively: order Li Lianshan and his regiment to continue to stay in Jiangkou Town, build fortifications on a large scale, and create a long-term posture of holding on to the outside world!" Ordered the chief of staff, Wang Huchen, to evacuate Huichang before noon tomorrow and quickly return to Ruijin to wait for orders. ”

Zhang Yao quickly handed the prepared telegram to Zheng Yi and asked casually, "Huichang hasn't been sent down yet...... The telegram was sent, would the chief of staff give up the attack on Huichang and return to Ruijin? ”

Zheng Yi smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, there are definitely no more than a thousand enemies in Huichang...... Most of the city walls of Huichang were destroyed as early as August and September last year in the repeated fierce battles between our Nanchang uprising troops and the Kuomintang army. If you don't rush in to get a handful of benefits, won't you go in vain? ”

Zhang Yao smiled knowingly: "There is one night, it should be enough for Huchen and them to act, haha!" ”

……

……

Wang Huchen, chief of staff of the instructor, soon received a telegram from the division commander Zheng Yi, and just when he urgently summoned Duan Xuan and Huang Guoxing and other chief and deputy regiment commanders to discuss an early attack on Huichang County, the newly formed Third Division of the Guangdong Army was driving into Xinfeng County as expected by Liu Shaojun, a young combat staff officer.

What was a little surprising was that more than 12,800 officers and men from four regiments and three companies directly under them had just been stationed, and thunder erupted overhead.

In less than five minutes, dark clouds piled up in the sky, the wind swept wildly, and a torrential rain fell.

Zhan Xuchu, the lieutenant general and division commander of the Guangdong Army, who had a strict appearance, had a calm personality and treated people well, politely refused the warm invitation of the county magistrate of Xinfeng and more than ten local gentry and elites, and set up the division headquarters in the military camp in the city that was hurriedly vacated.

At nightfall, a light rain fell again in the sky, sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, continuous, and the water on the eaves was like a chain of beads, ticking and making people a little upset.

After bathing and changing into a straight military uniform, Zhan Xu thought for a moment and asked the adjutant to invite his deputy division commander and chief of staff to discuss countermeasures.

The elegant-looking chief of staff understood Zhan Xuchu's meaning very well, and after sitting down, he took the lead in saying how to deal with it:

"It seems that the weather will not improve for a period of time in the future, although the counties and towns along the way have a lot of support for our army, but our army carries more grain and grass, and the six guns equipped by the artillery company are siege weapons, which must be brought.

"For this reason, I have ordered the staff of the division headquarters to reformulate the marching plan, send men to prepare in advance in the major villages and towns ahead, and set up a camp every ten kilometers along the way, so that the speed of the march will definitely be accelerated."

"The Chief of Staff dealt with it in a very timely manner, and it seems that this is the only way to deal with it at the moment. Although our division is well-armed and well-trained, it has a large number of new recruits and lacks tenacity, and no matter how fast it is, it will take four to five days to bypass the mountains to the east, but I think the problem should not be very big, and bad weather can help our army better conceal its whereabouts. ”

The stocky colonel's deputy division commander said with a smile.

Zhan Xuchu, who had a thin face, nodded slightly: "The famous instructor of the Communist Party, I'm afraid I don't know that our Guangdong army has appeared on the battlefield in southern Jiangxi, but even if they get relevant information, they will definitely not be able to predict that our army will give up taking the flat road of Ganzhou and Ganxian, but choose to quietly go north from the east of Xinfeng, which is the most difficult to walk." ”

"At least before crossing the mountains to the east and appearing in the villages and towns south of the capital, there is no need to worry about the safety of the march, the only thing I am worried about now is whether our opponents will abandon the capital before our army arrives?"

The deputy division commander and the chief of staff looked at each other and smiled, in their opinion, no matter whether the communist army withdrew or not, they only needed to occupy Yudu, they could open up the trade route between Jiangxi, Guangdong and Fujian, win a huge reputation, and at the same time, they could also obtain a large amount of military supplies.

As long as Yu Du was stationed for three months, the salt tax and mining tax collected would not be less than one million, and if he could gain a firm foothold and successfully drive Yang Chisheng out of Ganzhou, it would be a great achievement, and he would surely win the full support and high praise of the entire Guangdong army and the merchants of the whole province.
