On April 24, 1928, at 5:30 p.m., he was in Luo'ao Town, west of the capital county. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luo Ao is connected to the mouth of the river in the west, connects Luojiang and Xinpi in the south, and is adjacent to Nantang in the north, which is the west gate of Yudu, about 15 kilometers away from the county seat, and about 45 kilometers away from Ganzhou City.

Twenty cauldrons are lined up along the creek east of the town.

More than 50 cooks from each battalion and company of the third regiment of the instructor gathered together to cook for the soldiers who were about to enter the battlefield.

The officers and men of the battalions and companies sat quietly in the open spaces on both sides of the creek to check their bags and wipe their weapons, and the enticing aroma of steamed bacon filled the air.

Outside the gate of the Luo family's private school, hundreds of war horses and pack horses were munching on black beans and licorice, and the sad-faced Han Zixu and Luo Dongyuan sat in the grass pavilion on the other side, constantly stroking the worn thighs.

Only the blonde, blue-eyed, rough-skinned Kevin didn't have any, and he was still energetic and gushing after 36 kilometers of continuous marching.

Han Zixu took his eyes back from the crowd beside the stream in the west, and said thoughtfully: "The people here don't seem to have much reverence for the army, and they actually take out so many cured meat, chickens and ducks to sell to the army, and there are a lot of children, looking at them full of curiosity, but not afraid at all. ”

Where would Luo Dongyuan let go of this opportunity to praise his army: "I heard that the Communist army is like this, what do you say about the situation between the army and the people." They also have a military song, the title of which is called "Three Disciplines and Six Attentions", General Zheng's army does not disturb the people everywhere they go, speaks kindly, deals fairly, and as long as their army is stationed, they can get the support of the people. ”

Han Zixu nodded approvingly: "I can also see that General Zheng's army is indeed different from other armies, it is well-disciplined and well-trained...... What I saw and heard in these two days left a deep impression on me. ”

"Did you notice? The two officers who had just come on horseback from the east, each with two guards, and their horses were very good, much better than the inferior horses we rode today, and as soon as they arrived in the town, they went into the low classroom, and discussed in a whisper with General Zheng and his chief of staff, General Wang, around the large patchwork table. ”

"If my speculation is not wrong, they must be studying the siege battle that is about to be launched, or they may directly give up attacking Yudu and go to Ruijin County, 80 kilometers east of Yudu, to fight."

Kevin stood on tiptoe and looked at it, then pointed to the private school inside and said loudly.

As soon as Han Zixu heard this, he immediately stopped beating his sore waist, raised his head, and asked in great surprise: "Give up Ningdu and attack Ruijin, which is eighty kilometers east of Yudu?" How do you know? ”

Kevin laughed, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Don't forget that I never fell behind during the march, and I have always followed General Zheng's side, and discussed many issues with him, involving many fields...... I already know how to write a press release to the Times. ”

Luo Dongyuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zheng Yi to tell Kevin about the possible attack on Ruijin by the troops, he thought about it and felt that Zheng Yi must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he took the initiative to interject:

"I think it's very likely! As early as when he was in Ganzhou City, General Yang Chisheng told us that Ruijin and Huichang counties had sent reinforcements to Yudu to defend Yudu, a strategic point leading to the southeast of Jiangxi with the Yudu defenders. ”

"If this is really the case, it is not impossible for General Zheng to cross the heavily defended Yudu and continue to attack Ruijin and Huichang to the east, which are empty."

Han Zixu pondered the situation in the counties of southern Gannan in his mind, and felt that what Kevin and Luo Dongyuan said was not untargeted, so he immediately stood up:

"We need to observe the military meetings convened by General Zheng and grasp the entire decision-making process of General Zheng and his generals, otherwise it will be difficult to write convincing war news and battlefield reports for readers."

"Huh!? Can it really be? Will we be upset to go in rashly? Luo Dongyuan kindly reminded.

"No, General Zheng is a generous man, and since we are allowed to march with his army and interview as we please, he will not refuse us to observe."

After Han Zixu finished speaking, he strode out of the grass pavilion, and the enthusiastic Kevin pulled Luo Dongyuan, who was still hesitant, to follow.

……

……

After listening to the reports of Zhao Jingting and Huang Guoxing, the two regiment commanders, Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen, the instructor and division commander, immediately started a discussion on the map.

"What's going on?" Zheng Yi turned his head sideways and asked loudly, Wang Huchen on the side was quite annoyed, and Duan Xuan, Zhao Jingting and Huang Guoxing were also full of displeasure.

"Report to the division commander, the three reporters did not listen to the dissuasion, and repeatedly asked to enter for interviews, saying that they wanted to grasp the first-hand information of our troops' decision-making!"

The guard platoon commander reported loudly.

Zheng Yi motioned to Wang Huchen not to be angry, came to the door, and said to Han Zixu and the others: "Mr. reporters, we can let you attend the hearing, but you can't ask questions, can you do it?" ”

"Thank you, General! We only ask to be an observer and will not disturb the discussions of the generals. After Han Zixu finished speaking, he immediately walked into the door of the private school, and the happy Kevin and the slightly cowering Luo Dongyuan followed in.

Zheng Yi motioned for the three of them to sit on a bench in the corner of the wall on one side of the room, turned to Wang Huchen and whispered: "Go on, let the reporters listen, they can only go back and write articles after they understand, telling thousands of people how our communist army defeated the Kuomintang army with the weak defeating the strong." ”

The brothers laughed, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts suddenly vanished, and they no longer paid attention to the three reporters who were sitting next to them and took out their notebooks to make a listening gesture.

Wang Huchen began to summarize the routine intelligence: "Lao Zhao's second regiment is worthy of praise, before the four thousand defenders in the city reacted, they went around to the Sanjiangkou in the east of the city, occupied the commanding heights, and established a defensive position on the east bank, cutting off the retreat of the enemy in Yudu in one fell swoop, and severely hitting the morale of the enemy in the city. ”

"The fact that the defenders in the city have not dared to come out and seek to engage our army from this morning to now is a good proof of this."

"Lao Zhao did a very good job, as long as he occupies the high ground on the east bank of the Sanjiang estuary, the enemy in the city will not be able to shake it even if he comes out, not to mention that there are five regiments of Guoxing blocked at the foot of the green mountain three kilometers outside the west gate." Duan Xuan was sincerely amazed.

Wang Huchen nodded: "That's right, the two ends are blocked, and the whole battle situation will be determined, and the division commander and I hesitate whether the three regiments can arrive at Ruijin City before tomorrow evening......"

"Huchen, you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu spit on you?"

Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen and others laughed, Duan Xuan was annoyed, his third regiment has not had a chance to fight independently since its establishment, and has been despised by the arrogant brothers of the first regiment and the second regiment, and the officers and men of the whole regiment are angry about this, and the battalion and company commanders complain to the regiment commander Duan Xuan every few days.

Now that he is finally looking forward to the opportunity to prove himself, if Wang Huchen is left in Yudu to confront the enemy, and replaced by Zhao Jingting's second regiment to attack Ruijin and Huichang, who are empty, Duan Xuan really doesn't know how to explain to the brothers in the whole regiment after going back.
