On the morning of 22 July, two regiments composed of new recruits lined up on the playground of the large camp in the city, and Zheng Yi, Li Zhao, and Wang Huchen made speeches respectively, pinning high hopes on the officers and men of the two regiments. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The chief and deputy commanders of the three main regiments attended the inauguration ceremonies of the two regiments.

After lunch, Zhao Jingting's Second Regiment and Dong Zongzhuo's Teaching Regiment set out to garrison Jiangkou Town in the east, Duan Xuan's Third Regiment took over the defense of the big wharf in the south of the city and the 10-kilometer section of the upper and lower reaches of the Ganjiang River, and the newly established Fifth Regiment was led by the regiment commander Huang Guoxing to assume the defense of the county seat of Ganxian County.

In the evening, Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen climbed the west city wall, inspected the defense of a regiment, listened to the investigation report of a regiment of police, and learned that Yang Chisheng had added three new defense lines outside the south gate and north gate of Ganzhou, but did not prohibit the free passage of people and caravans in the city.

Li Lianshan expressed his opinion: "I feel that this is normal, for several days, the reconnaissance team sent by the enemy defending Ganzhou has never left the two-kilometer range of the city wall, and every time I see our regiment's reconnaissance team from a distance, it takes the initiative to retreat, so that I want to capture prisoners and listen to information. ”

"The opening of the city gate to allow passage only began today, and most of the people who enter and exit are local people and passing merchants, as for whether the city gate will be opened tomorrow to allow passage, we have to look at the situation tomorrow to know, maybe tomorrow can see some famous halls."

Wang Huchen thought for a while: "Maybe Lian Shan is right, Yang Chisheng opened the city gate to allow passage, which can greatly ease the psychological pressure of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and he knows very well that we can't do anything about him for a while, if we launch an attack, I'm afraid he will close the city gate before he reaches the ferry." ”

"If our intelligence officers can report the news in a timely manner, we won't have to worry about it here."

Zheng Yi waved his hand: "The intelligence officers of Ganzhou Station have just stood their ground, and they can't move ...... in a short time."

"When I first set out, I solemnly warned them that when they arrived in Ganzhou City, they should no longer worry about the base area and their instructors, and they must live honestly like a normal person, and they are not allowed to carry out any activities within half a year, it is not an extremely special emergency, and they are not allowed to use the radio station."

"So, don't count on them, let alone let anyone other than the party committee members know this secret, you two should be careful when you talk."

Wang Huchen and Li Lianshan nodded immediately, and the three of them walked together in the warm sunset, talking in a low voice.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to fight! I'm afraid it's not enough to have only Lao Zhao's second regiment, Dong Zongzhuo's teaching regiment is all recruits, it's okay to beat drums and shout slogans on the side, it's useless to fight at all, it's better to transfer our regiment over. Li Lianshan has a lot of opinions about staying in Gan County.

Wang Huchen said with a smile: "If you want to transfer, you will only transfer the three regiments that are simmering, and there is no one who is the best at defending to sit in Gan County, so no one is at ease." ”

Zheng Yi then explained: "This is also the main reason why I transferred the six battalions that had just been training for more than a month......

"Our troops are basically sufficient to fight guerrilla warfare and carry out surprise attacks, but it is not enough to fight siege warfare and blockade warfare, and the lack of troops has become the biggest obstacle restricting the development of our army."

"In view of this, knowing that it is a great risk to transfer new recruits to the battlefield, we still have to do this, and I hope that the two newly formed new recruits can mature quickly."

"Actually, don't worry too much, our recruit training is very strict, at least the recruits of these two regiments have mastered shooting technology and weapon maintenance technology, and the queue is not bad, as long as they don't encounter the enemy's decisive charge, they should be able to withstand it." Wang Huchen smiled optimistically.

Li Lianshan nodded frequently: "I don't know how many people are left in Yang Chisheng?" ”

Zheng Yi thought for a while: "The regular army under his command should have three regiments, plus an artillery company and a special service company, and the total number of officers and soldiers will not exceed four thousand. ”

"However, Ganzhou is a big city, and it has a security regiment of about 1,500 people for a long time, and if it is mobilized urgently, it can at least mobilize more than 5,000 young people to go to the city wall or carry ammunition, so it is difficult to fight Ganzhou, at least in a few months, I have no way, alas!"

Zheng Yi's sigh was not over, and Xie Zhihua, the commander of a police company, hurriedly came: "Report to the division commander, the enemy in the city has sent you a letter, saying that it was written to you by their commander Yang Chisheng." ”

The generals looked at each other, Zheng Yi was also stunned, thought about it, took the letter, looked at the front and back repeatedly, and in the surprised eyes of Wang Huchen and Li Lianshan, he carefully tore open the seal of the letter, took out the letter paper from it and read it.

After a while, after reading Yang Chisheng's handwritten letter, Zheng Yi casually handed the letter to Wang Huchen, pondered for a long time, and asked the police company commander waiting on the side in a low voice: "Xiao Xie, has the person who delivered the letter gone?" ”

Xie Zhihua, who was dark-skinned and thin, hurriedly replied: "Let's go, after delivering the letter, I immediately turned the horse's head and ran back to the ferry, seeing that he kept holding a white flag, and I didn't stop him." ”

"Well done, when you go back, tell the brothers to pay close attention to the Yangmei ferry and the northwest direction, and not to let your guard down." Zheng Yi commanded.

Xie Zhihua saluted, and then whispered to his regiment commander Li Lianshan for instructions, and when he saw Li Lianshan, who was bowing his head and reading the letter, he waved his hand, and immediately turned over and rushed out of the city.

Wang Huchen looked at the left and back, moved half a step, and approached Zheng Yi: "I didn't expect Yang Chisheng to be willing to redeem the prisoners with the current ocean......"

"The more than 700 Yunnan officers and soldiers who were captured in Ganxian County have been released, and we only have more than 530 prisoners captured during the attack on Ningdu, and now they are still cultivating land and building wooden buildings in the mountains north of Xingguo."

"Even if we agree to Yang Chisheng's request, it will take at least five days before we can be escorted over."

"So, you agreed to Yang Chisheng's request?" Zheng Yi asked with a smile.

Wang Huchen smiled, squeezed his eyebrows, and said, "Don't you often tell your brothers that it's a fool to have money and not make it?" Each captive has twenty oceans, and more than 500 captives are more than 10,000 oceans, how can such a good business not be done? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Li Lianshan echoed repeatedly: "Sell it, those Yunnan army captives are useless to keep, they are all slippery ruffians, they can't fight or scold, and they waste our food in vain." ”

Zheng Yi thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Since you both agree, then let's just sell him the more than 500 catties of cigarettes that were seized." ”

"Lianshan, you can write a reply letter, sign your and my names, and tell Yang Chisheng that at nine o'clock in the morning five days later, the handover will be completed at the East Coast Ferry, and Xiao Xie will be sent to the ferry when it is finished."

"Now I have to go to the big pier in the south of the city with Huchen to see which country's reporters are so bold that they dare to come to interview at this time."
