The officers and men of the Red Army on the mountainside on the east bank have calmly left, but the wharf on the west bank is still filled with gunsmoke and the remnants of the fire are still unfinished. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pier area, which is no longer visible, is full of craters, the only two rows of adobe houses have long since collapsed, and the large banyan tree above the pier with green trees and lush foliage has also been scorched yellow under the repeated ravages of the hot air current, and the dead leaves have fallen with the breeze.

The explosion of a whole shipload of ammunition was far more powerful than imagined, except for the two cargo ships full of ammunition in front and behind, which were left with a floating plank, the river embankment more than 30 meters away from the explosion point also collapsed more than 10 meters, and the nearly 100-meter-long river bank was scorched by the blazing air current, and green smoke was still "sizzling" at the moment.

The two steel-hulled steamers that towed the cargo ship sank and were damaged, the sunken one had lost its shadow, and the one that had been blown off the side of the ship was stranded in the river less than ten meters from the wharf, and the part that was exposed to the water had been burned beyond recognition by the fire.

Only two of the nine large wooden cargo ships were lucky to escape the catastrophe, one of them was loaded with more than 500 boxes of grenades, and the other was loaded with nearly 100 tons of concentrate for feeding war horses.

Wang Jun, the lieutenant general of the Dian army, who received the loss report, still had a gloomy face, but the anger in his heart had been replaced by a thick bitterness.

The death and wounding of more than 400 heavy officers and men and hundreds of shipwrights was nothing to him, but the death of nearly 400 officers and men of the two artillery companies was nothing to him, and the huge losses of only 17 men and 6 Krupp 75 mountain guns and 6 37 anti-aircraft guns sinking to the bottom of the river were enough to make him feel painful.

Artillery could be bought from foreigners if he had money, but the nearly 400 artillery soldiers who had followed him in the north and south for several years were not so easy to replenish.

Facing the bleak scene in front of them, the more than ten generals standing behind Wang Jun were full of grief and indignation, and they were also silent.

Li Shilong, the commander of the Seventh Division, who knew that he could not shirk his responsibility, was even more ashamed, and after following Wang Jun to the dock, he did not raise his head, let alone look at Wang Jun, who was full of anger.

"The guard regiment directly under it stays to assist the engineer company in burying the dead brothers, and the rest of the troops set off immediately, and must be stationed in Ganzhou City before dark!"

Wang Jun's voice was not loud, and it was slightly hoarse, but all the generals heard the huge resentment and murderous aura contained in it, and hurriedly saluted Wang Jun and left quickly.

Zeng Wanzhong was also full of bitterness at the moment, until now, no one still knows which part of the Red Army launched the surprise attack, is Jinggangshan? Or rejuvenating the country? Or is it the mentor of Yu Du and Ruijin?

Zeng Wanzhong, who was the chief of staff of the Third Army, was more aggrieved than anyone else, and when he saw Wang Jun motionless and looking at the lush mountains on the east coast, Zeng Wanzhong's guilt in his heart couldn't help but increase a point.

Wang Jun did not blame Zeng Wanzhong, he knew that it was not one person's fault, the whole army had been on high alert during the march and during the rest, until he entered Wuyun Town, which was close to Ganzhou, and he did not relax slightly, and no one expected that the Red Army would be so bold, choose such a clever attack location, have so many mortars, and shoot so accurately.

Even if the officers and men of Li Shilong's Seventh Division reacted quickly, they would not be able to fight back against the attacking communist forces across the 800-meter-wide Ganjiang River, so Wang Jun, who has always been strict in managing the army, did not put the responsibility on Li Shilong, he knew that not only Li Shilong was at fault, but as the commander of the first army who accompanied the army and gave orders, he also needed to take responsibility.

Wang Jun was still pondering in pain, and the chief of staff, Zeng Wanzhong, finally spoke: "Junzao, it is very likely that the one who attacked our army was the ace unit of the Communist Party, Zheng Yi's instructor. Only Zheng Yi's instructor has so many mortars, and they hit them so accurately. ”

"I'm speculating as well."

Wang Jun turned around slowly, shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "When I left Ji'an the day before yesterday, I also said to Zhujiu (Jin Handing) that the Communist Army is extremely good at guerrilla warfare and night attacks, and be careful of the attacks and harassment of small units of the Communist Army. ”

Zeng Wanzhong hurriedly comforted him: "Junzuo, please don't care too much, after we are stationed in Ganzhou, we will have a chance to take revenge." ”

Wang Jun shook his head slightly: "I was really angry at first, but after figuring out the situation, I couldn't get angry if I wanted to......"

"The communist army is indeed more difficult to deal with than I expected, I have a hunch, Zheng Yi suddenly gave me a slap on Ma Wei, just to provoke me, and I really can't do anything about him for a while."

"The mountains in this southern Gan region are extended, the terrain is very complicated, and everywhere may become a battlefield, which is very unfavorable to our regular army, which is good at fighting large troops, and now the two artillery units are not even twelve large and small artillery, so we need to be more cautious......

"Alas! Let's think about it in the long run after we enter Ganzhou. ”

Zeng Wanzhong nodded frequently: "It's only about settling down, let's go south as soon as possible, and we can't let General Youyang see our jokes." ”

Wang Jun smiled disdainfully: "What qualifications does he have to laugh at us?" was beaten by Zheng Yi and lost his soldiers, he didn't dare to go anywhere in Ganzhou City, his eggs were retracted into his stomach, and he dared to laugh at others? If it weren't for Yi Shuai's face, I really don't want to bird him! ”

"Forget it, let's go, for the sake of his age, give him a face."

Zeng Wanzhong smiled, he understood the pain in Wang Jun's heart, the sudden attack not only disrupted the rhythm of the whole army's march, caused unprecedented huge losses, but also seriously hit Wang Jun's dignity and prestige.

……

……

Only four hours later, Kuaima sent the attack of the Third Army to the county town of Suichuan, sixty kilometers to the north.

Jin Handing, commander of the Ninth Army of the Dian Army, who had just settled down, was extremely shocked after reading the battle report, and immediately called Wang Zhao, a staff officer of the Third Army Military Department, who was having dinner outside:

"Xiao Qi, what else does your eldest brother have to say?"

The young staff officer, who looked like Wang Jun, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can you say?" Let me sleep with you for one night, Brother Jiu, and continue my journey tomorrow morning, return to Nanchang, and ask Yishuai for his guilt. ”

Jin Handing lowered his head silently, he knew that going to Nanchang to ask for guilt was not the point, to ask for artillery and artillery, and to replenish the loss of the Third Army as soon as possible was the most important thing at present, but Jin Handing did not mention this matter again, but asked about the military situation: "Is there any news from the Communist (Gongjun) Army?" ”

Wang Zhao shook his head again: "Except for knowing that the communist (gongjun) army that attacked our army is about one battalion, with about twenty Bayi mortars and six heavy machine guns, I don't know anything else. ”

Jin Handing patted Wang Zhao's shoulder comfortingly: "Let's eat, it's okay to drink a few more cups, if the food is not enough, even if you order the guards to send it, I won't accompany you, I have to convene a meeting of my brothers to adjust the defense, and I can't let the communist army on Jinggang Mountain launch a sneak attack." ”

……

……

The sudden attack launched by the machine gun battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Teaching Division in Wuyun Town successfully attracted the attention of Wang Jun and Jin Handing, not only disrupting the battle plan of the 3rd Army, but also contributing to the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division in the sneak attack on Yongfeng County, and the initiative on the battlefield in southern and central Jiangxi was transferred to the hands of the revolutionary army.
