What Zheng Yi and his brothers did not expect was that for three days, they did not receive any news from the former committee, but the various news received by the radio from the outside world was dazzling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of this month, President Chiang was forced to resign as commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army under the joint suppression of the Gui faction and the opposition forces in the army, and entrusted the Nanjing government with Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and He Yingqin.

Subsequently, Li, Bai Liandian, Wang Jingwei, Tan Yanhong, Tang Shengzhi, Cheng Qian, Zhu Peide, Zhang Fakui, Chen Gongbo, and others, who held the military and political power in Nanjing, initiated the cooperation between Nanjing and Han. Immediately, the Wuhan government telegraphed and moved the capital to Nanjing, and Wang Jingwei, Tan Yanhong, Sun Ke, Tang Shengzhi, Yu Youren, Gu Mengyu and others took a ferry to the east, and started a dialogue with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the responsible persons of Nanjing, in Lushan, and Ninghan began to merge.

At a time when the Northern Expeditionary Army was constantly struggling, Sun Chuanfang's ten divisions and four mixed brigades of the allied army of five provinces took advantage of the situation to launch a forcible crossing from Wangjiang Pavilion, Zhuazikou and Dahekou on the north bank of the Yangtze River to Wulong Mountain, Qixia Mountain and Longtan area, and occupied the line of Qixia Mountain and Longtan Station.

Just as the rebel army was fighting with an enemy several times its size in central and southeastern Jiangxi, the old and new warlords were fighting to the death on the front line of Longtan.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zheng Yi and his mentor, his attention is always on the south, and he doesn't want to get the good news of Ye Tingshi's re-victory from Huichang on the 29th.

After reading the detailed battle report sent by the front committee, Zheng Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately ordered the Second Regiment, the two companies of the Teaching Regiment, and the special agent company to abandon the blocking position in Ganzhu Town, quickly withdraw to Guangchang, and ordered the First Regiment and all divisions to sort out their belongings, seize the time to recuperate, bury the pot at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and be ready to retreat south at any time.

However, Zheng Yi's order was too late.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the enemy's 32nd Army suddenly bombarded Huichang with heavy artillery fire, and the enemy's 18th and 20th divisions launched a fierce charge after 10 minutes of artillery bombardment.

According to the plan formulated by the front committee, Ye Tingshi, who was guarding Huichang, quickly evacuated Huichang and headed east, heading straight to Tingzhou on the border of Jiangxi and Fujian.

At this time, no one could have predicted that Qian Dajun suddenly commanded two divisions, crossed Huichang and pursued with victory, regardless of the direct attack on Ruijin.

The newly formed 1st Division, which had not appeared under the command of Qian Dajun, suddenly appeared and killed Ruijin from Ningdu, east of Xingguo.

At the same time, the three regiments of Yang Chisheng of the Dian Army, which were originally stationed in Ganzhou, followed the newly formed First Division to the east, and cut off the southward road of Zheng Yi's instructor at 9 o'clock in the morning.

When the urgent telegram ordering the retreat to the south was sent to Zheng Yi, the instructor was actually surrounded by a lost base.

……

……

Ruijin, General Headquarters of the Rebel Army.

The rumbling sound of guns and cannons was already faintly audible, He Long's 20th Army all marched to Wuyang Town, 15 kilometers south of the city, and fought side by side with the retreating Ye Ting's troops, and Zhu Yujie's 9th Army also went to the north of the city to establish a blocking position.

"Report, Instructor Zheng is in an emergency!"

Intelligence staff officer Chen Lizhi hurriedly handed over the telegram to Chief of Staff Liu.

After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Liu looked solemn and handed the telegram to Director Zhou, who rushed over after hearing the news: "Comrade Zheng Yi's situation is very dangerous, judging from the content of the emergency telegram, the enemy advancing eastward in the direction of Ningdu has approached the instructor's blocking position eight kilometers south of Guangchang City, and the strength is as many as five regiments, which is greatly beyond our expectations!" ”

Director Zhou was very shocked: "Do you think that Qian Dajun's newly formed first division is divided into two routes, one part is forcing us, and the other part is going north to attack Guangchang, trying to completely block the retreat of the sect leader?" ”

Chief of Staff Liu nodded, and Zhu Yujie also expressed his judgment in a timely manner: "It is estimated that Qian Dajun was worried that my old classmate Yang Chisheng would not be able to work, so he divided two regiments to fight side by side with Yang Chisheng's department, which not only made every effort to block the instructor's attempt to go south to join us, but also played a role in supervising Yang Chisheng's department and forcing Yang Chisheng to go all out." ”

"In this way, the pressure on the north side of Ruijin has been greatly reduced, but the pressure on Comrade Zheng Yi has greatly increased."

Director Zhou slowly sat on the chair, picked up the message again and read it carefully, and then gently put it on the desktop covered with maps: "The five regiments of Lai Shicong and Yang Ruxuan in the direction of Nancheng have already driven to Ganzhu Town north of Guangchang, and the five regiments of the enemy army in the south have forced to eight kilometers south of Guangchang City, completely blocking the retreat of the instructor, and it is estimated that they will soon launch an attack on the instructor's position. ”

"To the east of Guangchang is the mountainous Jiangxi-Fujian border, the instructor has just won a battle in that direction, the local Haoqiang and green forest armed forces in the direction of Fujian Province must have been prepared for a long time, and it is difficult to break through to the east, and the west of Guangchang is also a mountainous area with heavy mountains and mountains, and the instructor is not familiar with the terrain, so it is easy to fall into the encirclement of the Kuomintang army and the local Haoqiang armed forces......"

"At this juncture, I don't know how Comrade Zheng Yi will decide!"

Chief of Staff Liu nodded heavily: "With Comrade Zheng Yi's command ability and the well-trained instructors and soldiers, if we forcibly break through to the south, we will not be able to succeed, but the price to pay will be very huge." ”

Director Zhou thought for a while: "With my understanding of Comrade Zheng Yi, until the last moment of despair, he will not let his soldiers desperately break through, maybe he has his own way." ”

"If this is the case, there is only one way to break through to the west, but in this case, it will be difficult for the instructor to join us, and we will have to try our best to get rid of the pursuers in an unfamiliar environment, and at any time we need to prevent the KMT army and local militia groups from intercepting us at the front." Zhu Yujie also had a headache.

Chief of Staff Liu pondered for a long time: "Our side can withstand it for two days at most, and the front committee and the central departments must withdraw eastward as soon as possible. ”

"I suggest that Comrade Zheng Yi be given the power to make a decision on the spot, no matter what, first break out of the encirclement, and then say, if they really can't go south to rendezvous, let them try their best to rush westward, as long as they jump out of the mountainous area of central Jiangxi within a radius of 200 miles, they can reach the relatively safe border area of Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong, or the border area of Hunan and Jiangxi with a good mass base, and then they can completely regroup and make a comeback."

Zhu Yujie agreed: "This may be the best way at present...... Comrade Zheng Yi's instructors are well-equipped, well-trained, and have done very good political work, and they are an elite army that is united and forging ahead with a strong will. ”

Director Zhou stood up slowly and made a decision with great difficulty: "Everyone's opinion is very good, Comrade Bo Cheng, you immediately draft a telegram order, and after the three members of our former committee jointly signed it, I am worried that he will be angered by Qian Dajun's new First Division, regardless of the killing!" ”

Chief of Staff Liu and Zhu Yujie immediately agreed, and soon drafted a telegram order, signed their names one by one, and handed it over to intelligence staff officer Chen Lizhi to issue immediately.
