Chapter 225: Changed My Mind (Part 2)

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Luo Dongyuan, who had drunk too much, fell asleep on the bed with his head covered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Han Zixu and Kevin discussed for a while, came to the county hall in front, and wanted to have a deep conversation with Zheng Yi, and heard that the division staff said that Zheng Yi had gone out to inspect the barracks and sentry posts, and he would not be back until at least half past eleven in the evening, so the two had to go back to the dormitory in the backyard and whisper to the candlelight to exchange their feelings.

"Kevin, what do you think of General Zheng? What changes stand out to you from four years ago? After Han Zixu finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and put it on the flame of the candle.

Kevin trimmed the half-used chunky cigar, took the candlestick and lit it, took two deep breaths, and the rich smell of tobacco permeated the silent space:

"Zheng has changed a lot, and when I first saw him on the docks, I felt like I was seeing a battle-hardened general, majestic and deep......"

"I seem to smell blood from him, I can't believe he's only twenty-two years old, but he still remembers me, his wife Irene and is as passionate and ......sincere as he was four years ago."

"At that time, we met by chance in the Peacock Hall on the top floor of the Huhai Licha Hotel, spent an unforgettable dinner time together, and the next morning after enjoying the delicious soup dumplings together in the humble shop, we said goodbye to each other in a hurry!"

"Seriously, at that time, he was like an energetic college student."

Han Zixu nodded slightly: "Have you never linked General Zheng Yi and Ms. Zheng Xuan together?" ”

"You bastard! If I hadn't quietly asked Zheng at dinner, I guess you still wouldn't have said it, just like you still haven't mentioned the relationship between your two families to Zheng until now. Kevin glared at Han Zixu in annoyance.

Han Zixu grinned: "Dear Kevin, it's not my fault that this matter, the reason why I didn't tell you is because General Zheng is a complete stranger to me, and although his sister loves him very much, his family has publicly severed ties with him. ”

"General Zheng Yi is a maverick and a strong-willed person, he has his own beliefs and ideals, and his own worldview, and no one can try to influence him."

"Therefore, I have reason to believe that in his eyes, I am just a journalist, and my close relationship with the Zheng family has no effect on him."

Kevin pondered for a moment: "If this is the case, it means that Zheng's way of thinking is closer to us Westerners, perhaps the reason why he entered a church school run by the British since he was a child......

"By the way, you asked to accompany Zheng to Yudu County in the east, is there anything else you need to know besides watching him command the army to attack Yudu County?"

Han Zixu sighed: "I have never seen a war scene, not even a gun battle scene where the police arrest criminals, so I want to witness the real face of war with my own eyes." ”

"Secondly, I would like to see how General Zheng Yi commanded the army to fight, what is the difference between the communist army and the Kuomintang army, and who will win in the end?"

"Just three days before I left Huhai, I heard a rumor in the upper echelons of the KMT military circles: General Zheng Yi is a military genius rarely seen in a century, and from the time he joined the army to the present, the army he led has never been defeated once, and he has captured more cities than any famous general of the KMT army......

"I made a rough statistics, from the Nanchang riot on August 1 last year to the present, a total of eight cities have been captured by General Zheng Yi, and as many as 11 regiments of the Kuomintang army defeated by General Zheng Yi have been completely wiped out."

Kevin was taken aback, stunned for a moment, and speechless.

……

……

At six o'clock in the morning the next day, the melodious sound of the military horn sounded over Ganxian County, Han Zixu and Kevin, who had only slept for more than four hours, hurriedly got up, put on their clothes and shoes, ran to the well outside the door to wash their faces and brush their teeth, and were busy for more than 20 minutes with the assistance of Luo Dongyuan before packing up their burdens.

At this time, the two special service companies next door and the five staff groups of the division headquarters had already finished breakfast and were ready to go.

The three reporters were led to the canteen of the middle courtyard to enjoy breakfast, Zheng Yi, Li Zhao and others did not appear, Han Zixu hurriedly drank a bowl of rice porridge, put down the bowl, and immediately asked the two guards waiting at the door:

"Excuse me, where is General Zheng Yi?"

The big guard with two guns in his waist replied kindly: "The division commander and the political commissar are both outside the east gate, don't worry, after breakfast, we will lead you over, and the two companies of the guard battalion will also set off together." ”

"Leaving so early?"

In order to get more information, Han Zixu asked knowingly.

The big guard said proudly: "An hour and a half ago, the third regiment had already started ahead of schedule, and I am afraid that it had already arrived in Jiangkou Town at this time. ”

"We belong to the rearguard force, it doesn't matter if it's late, as long as we get to the outside of the capital before the sun sets, we can complete the mission."

Han Zixu was taken aback: "It's at least fifty kilometers from here to Yudu, can you walk it in one day?" ”

The big guard smiled: "You definitely can't do it, so our division commander ordered in advance to prepare war horses for the three of you, and you can ride all the way." ”

Han Zixu was completely speechless, and returned to the dining table to tell Kevin and Luo Dongyuan about the situation.

Luo Dongyuan felt that all this was normal, nodded and said nothing.

Kevin asked in amazement, "Didn't Zheng say that the prisoners of war would be handed over at nine o'clock in the morning five days later?" Oh no, no, there are only four days left from today, does he have the ability to capture the capital in three days? ”

"According to General Yang Chisheng's introduction when we were in Ganzhou, after Ganxian County was occupied by General Zheng Yi's army, the local troops of Ruijin and Huichang counties in the east have rushed to Yudu to assist in the defense, and the total strength has exceeded 3,000 people, not including the nearly 10,000 people in the city."

"The circumference of Yudu's walls is about 3.4 kilometers, which is very strong, can Zheng's army conquer such a city in three days?"

Han Zixu weighed it for a long time, shook his head and said: "I don't know, forget it, don't think too much, you will know the answer when you get to Yudu." ”

Kevin had no choice but to put away the strong uneasiness in his heart, and followed the guards out of the county office with Han Zixu and Luo Dongyuan.

At this time, two spy companies led by Tian Antai were already lined up on the street, each officer and soldier leading a war horse, and a row of war horses carrying ammunition boxes and mortars on their backs.

Almost every officer and soldier was equipped with two guns, and the thick murderous aura exuded by the team of nearly 300 people made Han Zixu and Kevin secretly frightened, and honestly obeyed the command of the guards, climbed on horseback, followed behind the two special service company officers, crossed the streets in the east of the city, and passed through the city gate of the black hole.

Zheng Yi saw Kevin and the others behind the horse team looking around, smiled, whispered a few words to Li Zhao, the political commissar who stayed behind, and Li Lianshan, the head of the first regiment, and motioned to Panyan to bring the war horse over, saluted and said goodbye to Li Zhao and Li Lianshan, turned over the horse, and left slowly.

Kevin's riding skills are very good, and he is also bold, seeing Zheng Yi greet and ride away without fighting, his legs clamped the reins and shook, and the war horse under his crotch immediately accelerated, and soon crossed the horse team of the spy company and rushed to Zheng Yi's side:

"Zheng, it's very rude for you to leave early without a greeting, you must know that I am not only your friend, but also your guest, a guest on official business!"

Zheng Yi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said, "Okay, if you want, let's go together, within an hour, you must arrive at Jiangkou Town in front, are you ready?" ”

Kevin didn't understand Zheng Yi's approach: "Do you really plan to attack Yudu County, which has more defensive troops than you, tonight?" ”

Zheng Yi shook his head: "I have changed my mind, I will not fight in the capital, but in Ruijin, so we have to hurry up, there are still one hundred and twenty kilometers to go." ”

Kevin froze on the spot: "Oh, my God......"
