(Speed and quality are really a contradiction, the speed has increased recently, but I found that there are many hard wounds, for example, the germination of the Sun Wenism Society has not been explained, and some explanations in the military deployment are not clear, and these have to be made up for later.) ）

The Dongjiang area has vertical and horizontal rivers and undulating hills, which is conducive to defense. There are two ways to march from Guangzhou to the Dongjiang River, one is the northern route through Boluo - Heyuan - Wuhua; the other is the southern route via Kowloon - Tamsui - Pingshan - Haifeng - Shantou; These two roads are the best way to attack the Dongjiang River.

The northern, central, and southern three-line operations formulated by the military committee of the base camp are actually two lines, because the central and southern lines are separated in Dongguan, and the Gui army on the central line passes through Dongguan and attacks Huizhou; The southern line of the Guangdong army and the school army through Dongguan, along the Guangzhou-Kowloon line to attack until Shenzhen, and then turn east to Tamsui (now changed to Huiyang), on the one hand to threaten Huizhou from the south, on the other hand, can go east to Pingshan (now renamed Huidong), Haifeng, Lufeng; The departure point of the middle and southern routes is in Dongguan. The capture of Dongguan was the first battle of the Eastern Crusade.

Chiang Kai-shek's deployment for the attack on Dongguan was to first start with Zhang Mingda's division of the Guangdong Army on the front line of Shilong Shitan to attract reinforcements from Chen's army in the south of Dongguan, and then take advantage of our army's superiority on the water to launch a landing in the area of Humen Village by the school army, and carry out a two-sided attack on Dongguan from the south.

Sure enough, the main force of the Dongguan defenders was attracted to the front of Zhang Damin's division, and the second regiment was taught to take the opportunity to land near Baisha on the 30th, and then the first regiment was taught to land in Beizha. Zhuang Jihua, as the first landing force of the school army, quickly seized Baisha and built a defensive position at Niutouling outside Baisha Town, and did not fire a single shot during the whole process. Subsequently, the units of the 2nd Regiment were stationed around Baisha one after another.

31. Wang Bailing held an operational meeting in Baisha attended by officers at and above the company level. The officers were very excited after meeting each other, and the unexpectedly smooth landing operation made everyone's confidence rise sharply, and their admiration for Chiang Kai-shek was overflowing.

Although Zhuang Jihua is the same as everyone, he is a junior child, except for Li Anding of the second battalion and the fifth company, the others are the district captains in the former military academy, so the two of them are used to getting together, Li Anding also keeps praising the wisdom of the principal, Zhuang Jihua casually "praised", in fact, when he first heard this deployment, what Zhuang Jihua thought in his heart was the famous movie of pulling brothers when he was a child, and it seemed that it was also a north-south attack. According to the enemy's report, there are not many enemies in Dongguan, at most one regiment, and after the school army lands, it is better to directly insert it into Liaobu and Changping to cut off the retreat of the defenders in Dongguan. Although this deployment was ingenious, it was too cautious to achieve the purpose of gathering and annihilating the defenders of Dongguan.

Of course, he won't say it, and now it seems to him that this deployment is beneficial to him, because he already feels threatened by Wang Bailing. Since its departure, the 7th Company has been the vanguard of the 2nd Regiment, the first unit to board the ship, the first unit to reach the assembly area of Baisha, and most likely the first unit to launch an attack on Dongguan.

Sure enough, Wang Bailing announced that the attack route of the Second Regiment was through Baihao, Wuqiao, Chiwangpu, and Fanzitang. The attack sequence was that the third battalion was at the front, the second battalion was covering on the right flank, the regimental headquarters and the first battalion followed behind, and the seventh company was the vanguard of the whole regiment. After speaking, in order to show his fairness, Wang Bailing also deliberately emphasized that the training of the Seventh Company was the first in the whole regiment, put the strongest company on the tip of the knife, and hoped that the Seventh Company would set an example for the whole regiment. Zhuang Jihua naturally wanted to say that he would never live up to the expectations of the regiment commander, resolutely fight the first battle, not only destroy the enemy, but also play the prestige of our school and take Dongguan. In fact, he judged in his heart that there was no hard battle at all along the way, and if it didn't work, it would be zero casualties, this Wang Bailing didn't understand strategy, and he couldn't rectify people if he wanted to.

Battalion commander Wang Jun was afraid that Zhuang Jihua would be emotional, and on the way back, he and Zheng Dongguo worked hard to reassure Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua didn't care and said to Wang Jun I am very happy to play as a striker, please rest assured that the battalion commander will bring you back a series of good news. Back to the company, Zhuang Jihua arranged the attack sequence with Hu Zongnan platoon at the beginning, Song Xilian second, and Du Yuming at the end. The company headquarters followed Song Xilian's platoon forward.

Sure enough, I still didn't let go of a single shot, and our department occupied Baihao; No enemy troops were found; An hour later, our troops occupied the Five Bridges and found no enemy troops; Zhuang Jihualian's good news was transmitted to the battalion headquarters and to the regiment headquarters one by one. Battalion commander Wang Jun then understood why Zhuang Jihua would say that a series of good news was guaranteed, and there were no enemies along the way. However, Zhuang Jihua's speed was too fast, and Wang Jun couldn't help urging the Eighth Company that followed behind to speed up the march.

Outside Longwangbu, the Seventh Company encountered Chen's blocking position for the first time. After hearing Hu Zongnan's report, Zhuang Jihua quickly ran to the front from the back, Hu Zongnan's platoon had dispersed, hidden behind a small mound, Zhuang Jihua lay on the mound and looked at the opposite side, there were sixty or seventy people on the opposite hill, it seemed that the other party had discovered them, Zhuang Jihua observed for a while, then called the three platoon commanders over and said his arrangement, Hu Zongnan's platoon attacked from the front, Song Xilian's platoon launched an attack from the left, Du Yuming's platoon was on standby, and the machine gun followed Hu Zongnan's platoon. Du Yuming was unhappy in his heart, but he was a scheming person, but he didn't show it on his face.

(Here I have to add to the equipment of the companies of the teaching regiment.) The regiment consisted of a machine gun company with four light and heavy machine guns, and an artillery company with three mortars. There is a machine gun in the company, this machine gun is a treasure, under the command of the company commander, and the company commander and officers below the company are equipped with shell guns, that is, twenty rounds, to supplement the lack of firepower. In addition, each company is also equipped with several flower machines produced by the Ishii Arsenal, which in Zhuang Jihua's opinion is the later submachine gun, or his prototype, but in his previous life, he was not a military fan, and he didn't know it. But the range of this flower mechanism is very short, only 300-400 meters, which is far less than the 1000 meters of a rifle, but melee combat is a good thing. ）

After the movement of the troops was in place, Zhuang Jihua fired a shot into the sky, Du Xiaoshan blew the trumpet of the charge, Cao Yuan stood up, waved the shell gun and shouted: "Comrades, rush!" Then he rushed out, and Hu Zongnan then shouted, "Brothers, follow me." ”

Driven by the two, the soldiers charged forward one after another, but Zhuang Jihua did not move, just stood there to observe the situation of the team's charge, and at this time, there was also a shout on the left, and Song Xilian also took the lead in the charge.

"Guangting, take a look, do you find any problems?" Zhuang Jihua asked Du Yuming next to him.

Du Yuming looked at it carefully and said: "It seems to be different from the attack formation during training, it's a bit messy." ”

"Damn, it's not just a little messy, it's just a mess, can you see the attack formation?" Zhuang Jihua said with some annoyance: "And Hu Zongnan is so brave that he is brave, but what about the machine gun sent to him?" Where is it used? That Song Xilian is the same, he knows how to rush up if the firepower is not well organized. ”

"Also, our attack is too far away, we should get closer."

"Why don't I bring someone up." Du Yuming immediately suggested.

"Itchy hands?" Zhuang Jihua glanced at him: "I don't know what you think, let's see first, what mistakes they made, you can summarize it well, when you send you, you will rush up for me like this mess, you will go to be a soldier." ”

A row of guns rang out on the opposite side, Zhuang Jihua's heart tightened, and he saw Cao Yuan and Hu Zongnan, who were rushing in front, immediately lie down, and then there was a crackling gunshot. Song Xilian's side was the same, the attack was blocked.

Zhuang Jihua watched the meeting, pulled Du Yuming over and said: "I'll go up, you listen, organize the fire, go up from the paddy field on the right, their troops are attracted to the front and left." You remember that the two of them are the bait, and you are the killer. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua ran forward with his waist on his waist, and after a few rolls, he reached the machine gunner's side and shouted, "Follow me." ”

The machine gunner put away his gun and moved the position to a ridge on the right side with Zhuang Jihua, and then set up his gun and fired, with Zhuang Jihua commanding on the side. This firing position was aimed at him from behind, and the key was that he could cover Du Yuming's actions. The machine guns rang out again, and the enemy fire was suppressed.

At this time, Du Yuming led his troops to attack from the right side, and found that they were attacked from three sides, and there was a panic in the enemy's position. ”

Then a row of more than a dozen grenades was thrown, and while the grenades exploded into smoke, Cao Yuan jumped up again and shouted: "Rush! ”

There were more than a dozen soldiers who followed and rushed up, Zhuang Jihua saw that the others were still lying there, and couldn't help but be anxious, and went up with a kick, "Waste, get up, rush!" Then he shouted to the soldiers lying there: "Brothers, follow me, rush! Du Xiaoshan also blew the trumpet.

Seeing that the company commander was leading the charge, more soldiers got up from the ground and charged, and then all the soldiers began to charge. Now the confusion in the enemy's position was even greater. A few began to run backwards, followed by more enemies.

When Zhuang Jihua rushed to the enemy's position, Du Yuming also killed from the flank, and the retreating enemy was hit by his flank, and the collapse was faster. After rushing to the enemy's position, Zhuang Jihua stopped, Cao Yuan and Hu Zongnan continued to pursue the enemy with people, and Song Xilian on the left did not stop.

Zhuang Jihua observed for a while, and saw that the enemy was retreating towards the village, and when the rout was about to enter the village, more than a dozen enemies came out of the village and stopped the rout, and one of them, a man who looked like an officer, commanded the enemy who retreated to the entrance of the village to defend.

Zhuang Jihua didn't understand a little in his heart, why did he run out to command at this time, isn't it too late. Then he looked around and didn't see that the enemy was in ambush, so he ordered Du Xiaoshan to blow the trumpet and order the troops to continue the attack.

The efforts of the enemy officers quickly collapsed under the continuous blows of Zhuang Jihualian, and Song Xilian rose up and ran out four or five miles after the other party, only to return with seven or eight prisoners who could not run.

Checking the results of the battle, the enemy left seven or eight corpses on the position, four or five along the way, and five or six corpses in the village, killing a total of 18 enemies and capturing 21 people. The results are not bad. However, he was very unimpressed with the enemy's fighting spirit, and only seven or eight people died on the position, and the position collapsed, which was also too bad. It was only then that he realized that he was not afraid at all, and when he calmed down, he felt a little sick when he saw the corpses and blood stains on the ground. So he walked away quickly.

After counting the results of the battle, and then checking the casualties of his troops, one platoon was killed and one wounded, three were wounded in the second platoon, no casualties were lost, and there were no casualties in the third platoon. Zhuang Jihua went to see the wounded soldiers, fortunately, three of the four injured were slightly injured, Wu Ziniu told him that this kind of injury would be fine for a few days, but the serious injury needed to be sent back to the rear for recuperation.

Zhuang Jihua is a little confused now, is it said that Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army is very capable of fighting? Why are some meetings better than famous?

With questions, Zhuang Jihua interrogated a few prisoners, it turned out that the troops here were supposed to be withdrawn, but because the advance speed of Zhuang Jihua's company was too fast, they didn't have time. The village commander was the commander of their battalion, and the battalion commander was a local, and he sent something home by the way before retreating. Zhuang Jihua was so angry in his heart, damn, he wanted to withdraw early, and he had to wait for Lao Tzu to come before he was willing to leave. In a fit of rage, he shook off his hands and left, leaving Cao Yuan alone to carry out the prisoner education work.

When the follow-up troops arrived, Zhuang Jihua had already taken his company to rest in the village, and the company headquarters was placed at the battalion commander's house, where he and several platoon commanders were summing up. Forget the results, the main thing is to summarize the shortcomings, several platoon commanders began to recall their arrangements when the offensive was launched, what else could Du Yuming say, Hu Zongnan and Song Xilian found that they had done nothing, the only thing they did was to attack forward, and the rest.... Zhuang Jihua didn't blame them, he just wanted them to learn a lesson, of course, he himself was also learning a lesson, don't take the lead in charging in the future, it's too dangerous.

At this time, Cao Yuan came back and told him about a situation that finally changed the course of the Eastern Crusade.
