The spring rain gradually became lighter at night, and after two hours it fell again in the sky, and then intermittently and again until after 4 p.m. the next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The heavy clouds in the sky slowly thinned, and the faint glow of the setting sun finally appeared on the mountain tops to the west.

The land of southern Gan is gradually warming, but the muddy road needs at least three or five days of wind and sun to become dry, the Dian army in Ganzhou city and the instructors in Ganzhou city have invariably shrunk their forces and are on strict alert, one east and one west are less than ten kilometers apart, but no battle has occurred.

Zheng Yi in the city of Ganxian had just received a good news from the Jinggangshan base area that the two armies of Zhu and Mao had successfully joined forces and were preparing to join forces to attack Ji'an, in order to support the instructors fighting in southern Ganzhou and contain the enemy's forces so that they could not go south to aid the enemy in Ganzhou.

Zheng Yi immediately informed the officers and men of the division of the good news sent from the base area.

The soldiers who recovered quickly after recuperation were deeply encouraged, but not long after, the Hong Kong and Shanghai intelligence stations sent urgent reports:

Yang Chisheng, the commander of the Yunnan army in the city of Ganzhou, sent a telegram to the whole country at nine o'clock this morning, claiming that the headquarters fought hard for two days and one night with the communist army rushing from three roads in the pouring rain, and finally suffered heavy casualties due to the lack of troops, resulting in Suichuan, Yudu, Ganxian and other counties and towns losing one after another, and had to retreat to Ganzhou, according to the city, and fought to the death with the 30,000 communist troops who were heavily encircled!

In the face of the sudden intelligence, Zheng Yi and his brothers were shocked, and after repeated analysis, they came to the conclusion that Yang Chisheng's troops had lost the courage to fight, and in order to achieve the goal of preserving their strength and avoiding war, they did not hesitate to exaggerate the facts and sensationalize them, in order to win the attention and assistance of the Nanjing government of the Kuomintang.

As the saying goes, a crying child has milk! This time, in order to get reinforcements, Yang Chisheng didn't even want to save face, and he did not hesitate to damage his reputation and said that the strength of the three regiments of our army was 30,000 troops, which caused public opinion in Shanghai and Hong Kong to be shaken, and our army became the target of public criticism in a daze. ”

Political Commissar Li Zhao sighed with emotion.

Li Lianshan said with a smile: "No matter how Yang Chisheng cries, it won't have much effect, for the Nanjing government, Yang Chisheng is not his own son, at best he is just a dispensable wild child......"

"Now the four major group armies of the Kuomintang are fighting fiercely on the front line of Zhengzhou and Lunan, Zhu Peide's two armies have also driven to the Qilu front, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are empty, and the Nanjing government wants to take care of Yang Chisheng, a crying child, whether there is milk or not."

The brothers burst into laughter, and Zheng Yi couldn't help laughing.

Wang Huchen continued: "According to the intelligence analysis of the past week, only one army of the Gui troops stationed in Hunan Province has been left to guard Changsha, and the remaining two armies and the five main divisions of the Hunan Army have been transferred to northern Hubei and southern Henan, and only He Jian's 35th Army and two newly formed garrison divisions are left in eastern and southern Hunan, and they cannot rush to aid Ganzhou in a short time. ”

"The three garrison divisions of the Dian Army stationed in Nanchang, Jiujiang and Ji'an and the two independent brigades of Fuzhou and Jingdezhen will not move easily, and the First Independent Brigade of the Dian Army stranded in Wan'an has just withdrawn to Zhangshu to station, if Commissar Mao and General Zhu Yujie lead their troops to attack Ji'an, the above units will not go south to support Ganzhou, but the Guangdong Army, which is adjusting after ending the civil war, may go north to support."

Zheng Yi agreed with Wang Huchen's analysis: "Li Jishen, the commander of the Guangdong army, drove out more than ten people including Zhang Fakui and Huang Qixiang, the generals of the Guangdong army who launched the coup d'état in Guangzhou, and is reorganizing the five divisions of about 70,000 Cantonese troops left in Guangdong Province, and they are unable to go north in a short time. ”

"The only thing that needs to be noted is that the newly formed 3rd Division of the Cantonese Army stationed in Shaoguan and Nanxiong...... This division was originally the third division of the Guangdong Army, and the division commander was Zhan Xuchu, a senior general of the Guangdong Army, who had served as Li Jishen's chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. ”

The brothers nodded frequently, secretly remembering the names of the newly formed Third Division of the Guangdong Army and Zhan Xuchu.

"If Yang Chisheng can't shrink out, what should we do?" Zhao Jingting asked.

Zheng Yi thought for a while: "Wait for two more days, after emptying the captured materials, if the enemy in Ganzhou still avoids and does not fight, we will attack Yudu County in the east." ”

Li Zhao asked worriedly, "Is there enough troops?" ”

Zheng Yi had already advocated: "Transfer the 3,000 recruits of Dong Zongzhuo's teaching regiment to Ganxian County, even if they can't charge into battle, it is still not a problem to defend the city, and the weapons and ammunition captured this time are enough to equip 2,000 recruits." ”

……

On the morning of April 15, Ji'an Chengdong Ferry.

Kevin, a reporter from the British "Times," Han Zixu, a special correspondent of the two major British and American newspapers, and Luo Dongyuan, a reporter from the "Oriental News," finished a sumptuous breakfast, and under the congratulations of Zhu Shigui, commander of the Yunnan Army's garrison division, and several generals and colonels, they boarded a specially hired small engine and steamer, went upstream, and rushed to Ganzhou.

Zhu Shigui sent a company of security officers and soldiers to escort him all the way.

The steamer sailed for miles, the warm sun shone through the clouds and the wind sparkled on the wide river. Kevin, who was in a good mood, and Han Zixu, who was thoughtful, walked to the foredeck, looked at the verdant bamboo trees and villages on both sides, and discussed in a low voice.

Due to the high attention and warm reception received by the officers and soldiers of Yunnan, Kevin is full of confidence in the trip to Ganzhou:

"Judging from the performance of the Ji'an garrison and the tight defensive measures, the size of the city and the solidity of the city walls are greater than that of Ganzhou, the ancient city of Ji'an, and it is difficult to be captured by the communist army."

"According to General Zhu, the Communist Party's instructor had only 5,000 officers and soldiers, and was not equipped with the most basic howitzers and cannons of an army division, and it was unbelievable that he could conquer a large city with five kilometers of strong walls by relying only on rifles and courage."

Han Zixu's brows furrowed slightly: "Kevin, the level of equipment and training of the Chinese army is completely different from that of the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, and many times, the command ability of the generals plays a decisive role. ”

"Prior to this, the instructors of the communist army successively conquered the three county towns of Xingguo, Ningdu and Ganxian in the north and east of Ganzhou.

"It can be seen that it is still possible for the communist army to capture the city of Ganzhou, at least before that, the Kuomintang army stationed in the city of Ganzhou has been defeated by the communist army many times, and has lost about three regiments."

"So I think this is also the main reason why the KMT army has shrunk its forces to defend Ganzhou City."

ps: To clarify, the letter names of Chapter 217 cannot be modified, and the current regulations of the website are the first time the article is issued, and the website can be regarded as a category, such as historical and military, and the place names are not alphabetized. But if the author finds that there is a typo in the chapter, or there are errors or omissions in the plot, resend it a second time, no matter what, as long as it is in front of the word "county", it will be replaced by the first letter of pinyin, and the g county in the book is Gan County, because there is only one word, Xiaohuo can't be replaced, so it can only be so.

Then the ****** in chapter 218 is actually the contemptuous name of the Kuomintang army for the Red Army, Xiaohuo saw that someone in the book review area pointed out, so he tried to go down to the red and what happened, and the result was like this, if it was modified, there would be a large number of alphabet place names, and the lesser of two evils, so that's it, and in the future, the Kuomintang army called the Red Army "Communist \ Army" This more neutral title.

In the end, the small fire had a high fever and did not go away, and I went to the hospital for an intravenous drip today, so today the three more small fire can only fight for ...... Thank you for your support! (To be continued.) )
