Zhang Liguo eventually fled back to Tamsui, but he only took a few men back, and his regiment was wiped out at Wild Duck Wai, southwest of Zhangmutou. Wei Lihuang led the team to bite him to the death, although two companies were left along the way and fed to Wei Lihuang, but they were unmoved, until the first regiment and Zhang Damin's division caught up and annihilated him. The two battles of annihilation in Wild Duck Wai and Zhangmutou are collectively referred to as the Battle of Zhangmutou in the history of the National Revolutionary Army.

When the various units of the Eastern Expeditionary Army pursued Zhang Liguo, the Seventh Company rested in Zhangmutou. Zhuang Jihua was busy counting the seized materials and transferring the wounded to the rear field hospital, Huang Mingcheng found him and asked him for the weapons promised before the war, Zhuang Jihua pointed to the piled up loot without caring and asked him to take it himself, except for the machine gun, he would take as many as he wanted, even if he took it all, he was not distressed.

Most of Chen Jun's weapons are old sleeves and Murata rifles, and because they have been used for a long time, the wear and tear of the guns is very serious, which is why Chen Jun must go within 100 meters before shooting, and the Seventh Company also captured two mortars, for these two mortars Zhuang Jihua did not mention at all, and Huang Mingcheng would not take them, because not only did they not know how to use them, but also did not have shells.

After Huang Mingcheng left happily, Hu Zongnan quietly reminded him on the side whether it was appropriate to do so. Zhuang Jihua didn't care about saying that he had said that one of the weapons seized after the war would have their share, and they couldn't let them say that what our Huangpu Academy Army said didn't count, and they didn't believe it, which would damage our reputation in Huangpu and also damage the reputation of our Zhuang Jihua. Hu Zongnan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

On 3 February, Chiang Kai-shek led the right-wing headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Army to Zhangmutou, and after getting off the bus, he inspected the Seventh Company together with his adviser Gallen and Director Zhou of the Political Department.

In the Seventh Company, Zhuang Jihua told Chiang Kai-shek about the battle process of the Seventh Company, and Chiang Kai-shek listened very carefully, but he was very happy in his heart. Before the Eastern Expedition, he actually had no bottom in his heart, the training of the school army was insufficient, and the graduates of the military academy had no actual combat experience, these were the weaknesses of the school army, and the rest of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were like mirrors, waiting to see the jokes of the school army, and at the same time, because of Sun Yat-sen's full support for the military academy, the inclination of funds and weapons and equipment made the rest of the army very red-eyed and dissatisfied with the military academy. Therefore, the school army must not be defeated, otherwise the contradictions accumulated in the past will always erupt. From this, the victory of the Seventh Company was particularly precious, which not only strengthened Chiang Kai-shek's confidence, but also temporarily silenced all those who were ready to see the jokes of the Whampoa Academy.

Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and ordered a reward of 500 yuan on the spot. Zhuang Jihua expressed gratitude on his face, and was very disapproving of this kind of reward in his heart, the army should not be built on money, but on honor, if Chiang Kai-shek rewarded something within a pennant, he would be happy to accept it.

Wang Bailing, who was accompanying him, complained to Chiang Kai-shek, accusing Zhuang Jihua of privately dividing the spoils of war and should be punished by military law. When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he asked Zhuang Jihua if there was such a thing, and Zhuang Jihua said that he had never privately divided the spoils of war, and he did not know where the accusation of the head of the Wang regiment came from; If it refers to the weapons and equipment taken by the workers' team, they seized it themselves, and I have no right to interfere; And without the participation of the workers' team, we would have lost this battle.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned when he heard this, and he was very dissatisfied with Wang Bailing's accusation. He knew that the situation was critical at the beginning, and Zhuang Jihua must have made a commitment to it in order to let the workers' team participate in the battle, and this promise is probably the weapons and equipment after the war; But this is secondary, victory is the main thing, so Zhuang Jihua did not do anything wrong, and the results also proved that Zhuang Jihua did it in a timely and foresightful manner. In addition to the huge results, this victory has an immeasurable effect on building confidence in the school army and relieving pressure from all sides. In his heart, his evaluation of Wang Bailing was lowered by another notch.

However, the Gallen adviser spoke highly of Zhuang Jihua's tactics, and he told Chiang Kai-shek in an appreciative tone that Zhuang's company commander's tactics were flexible and very creative, and they were worthy of promotion throughout the army.

After understanding the whole battle process, Chiang Kai-shek's dissatisfaction with Wang Bailing was further deepened, and he taught the Second Regiment that in this battle, except for the brilliant Seventh Company, the Third Battalion barely met the requirements, and the rest of the troops were slow to move, and when they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was all over, and even the battlefield was cleaned; Moreover, Wang Bailing refused to pursue Zhang Liguo's regiment on the grounds of troop fatigue. In contrast, He Yingqin didn't say a word, and chased after him with his troops.

Rotten wood is difficult to become a pillar, Chiang Kai-shek once again felt that there was a lack of talent around him, except for He Yingqin, no one was in charge. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Director Zhou beside him again, this is also a rare talent.

Director Zhou was silent when Wang Bailing complained just now, because the matter involved the relationship between the two parties, he was not easy to speak for a while; Besides, Zhuang Jihua explained it very well and clearly, and he didn't need to say anything, and furthermore, he wanted to see how Chiang Kai-shek dealt with it.

Out of the seventh company, Chiang Kai-shek saw a small blue sedan chair parked next to him, he didn't care, the leader walked to the headquarters, did not think that the sedan chair actually followed them, this made Chiang Kai-shek pay attention, at first he thought that this was the sedan chair of a certain general of the Guangdong army, but now there was no general of the Cantonese army among the people present, so he walked to the sedan chair, asked the soldier who carried the sedan chair was from that unit, the soldier replied to teach the second regiment, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, raised his foot and turned the sedan chair overturned, and then turned to the officer next to him and said: "Whampoa is training revolutionary soldiers, The school army also wants revolutionary soldiers, not officialdom masters, it is the practice of the old army to go to the battlefield in a sedan chair, and we will never allow it in Huangpu, whoever wants to sit in a sedan chair in the future, then go home and sit, don't do it in our school army. ”

Wang Bailing's face was red and white, and Director Zhou understood that Chiang Kai-shek was deeply dissatisfied with Wang Bailing's behavior, not only for his command of the troops, but also for the complaint just now; However, Chiang Kai-shek did not name him in public, and saved face for Wang Bailing.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Chongzhi, Hu Hanmin, and Liao Zhongkai rushed to Zhangmutou and held a military meeting on the train to discuss the next step of the Right Wing Army.

"Following the annihilation of the enemy's Yuan Yao Ninth Division and Meng Xianxiang's troops at Zhangmutou, yesterday it was said that the enemy's Zhang Liguo regiment had been annihilated in Yeyawei, and there was no large enemy force in the southern section of the Guangjiu Road.

According to the confession of the captured officers and soldiers of Zhang Liguo's regiment, it was the army that defended the enemy and trained the enemy, and the Ma Xiongtao Brigade under the jurisdiction of the training department had gone north, and the remaining Zhang Liguo regiment was annihilated, and the current Tamsui defenders were only one regiment in Jiangye. However, Chen Jiongming had already transferred troops from the enemy's Hong Zhaopho Department to support Tamsui. ”

"After the two battles of Zhangmutou and Yeyawei, the morale of our army is extremely high, and the enemy's morale is low after this blow, so I think we should march to Tamsui as soon as possible, conquer Tamsui, and open the door to Huizhou, Hai, and Lufeng."

The smooth battle of Guangjiu Road surprised Xu Chongzhi, Hu Hanmin, and Liao Zhongkai, and the continuous annihilation of the enemy made the three of them feel extremely excited, especially Liao Zhongkai, who fought Zhangmutou and played the prestige of the school army, which made him, the political commissar, feel very glorious.

"Kai-shek, the school army fought beautifully, I didn't expect that your school army could fight so beautifully after such a short period of training, and now Yang Ximin's generation may no longer dare to underestimate you." Xu Chongzhi laughed and said that he was sincerely happy for this third brother, and he knew what Chiang Kai-shek had been hoping for all these years.

"Without the assistance of your Guangdong army, this battle would not have been so smooth, and Division Commander Zhang Mingda and Brigade Commander Xu Ji have made great contributions." Chiang Kai-shek's face was full of light, and he also praised Xu Chongzhi's subordinates.

"I can't compare with you, to be honest, I have fought with Chen Jiongming for so many years, and there are almost no battles to annihilate the Chen family's legion-level troops, Kai-shek, as soon as you make a move, there are three, which can be described as an extraordinary shot."

"This news was telegraphed to the prime minister long ago, and he was also happy." Liao Zhongkai said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Hu Hanmin pinched his beard in approval.

After touting each other, they began to discuss the next combat action, in fact, there was nothing to discuss, there was no enemy on Guangjiu Road, and the combat target was of course Tamsui, but Chiang Kai-shek proposed that Xu Chongzhi would personally lead the army, Xu Chongzhi began to resign, but Chiang Kai-shek tactfully told him that the generals of the Guangdong army were a little disobedient to the order, Xu Chongzhi agreed, but he also stated that the operational command was still Chiang Kai-shek, and he was only named.

After the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek issued a combat order in the name of Xu Chongzhi:

After the annihilation battle of Zhangmutou and Wild Duck Siege, the defenders of the enemy's Guangjiu Road had fled to Tamsui, and there was no major fighting in the southern section of the Guangjiu Road, and the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Army decided that all units on the right flank should conquer Tamsui as soon as possible. At present, the defenders of Tamsui are only one regiment of the enemy's training and training division, but Chen Jiongming has transferred troops from Hong Zhaop's department to reinforce Tamsui, and in order to conquer Tamsui before the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, the headquarters ordered:

1. The 1st Teaching Regiment set out from its current station, crossed the river from Zhangshuping, and advanced to attack the Da Miandi, and the other part advanced along the right bank of Tamsui in the direction of the upper trench, and the battle area was the area south of the upper trench, and the left flank ensured contact with the 2nd Teaching Regiment.

2. The 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Regiment crossed the river from the new wingmen and attacked the area of the lower trench, and the combat area was the area north of the upper trench, with the right flank maintaining contact with the 1st Teaching Regiment and the left flank keeping in touch with the 2nd Division of the Cantonese Army.

3. Zhang Mingda's division of the 2nd Division of the Guangdong Army advanced northwest from the new regiment,......。

Fourth, the Xu Ji Brigade of the Guangdong Army advanced northeast from Youyangwei to Tamsui,......。

5. The Guangdong Army's Zhang Idong Regiment and the ironclad convoy continued to sweep the southern section of the Guangjiu Road to ensure the safety of our army's rear road.

6. All ministries must arrive at the designated location by February 7.

7. The headquarters of the Right Wing Army followed the Second Regiment of the School Army, and all the armies of the Right Wing were under the command of Chiang Kai-shek.

On February 4, the units of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which had been resting near Zhangmutou, began to turn to Tamsui. Zhuang Jihua even rested and replenished in Zhangmutou due to heavy losses.
