Eight hundred miles of Dongting smoke and waves are vast, and the water and sky are a line; Sand gulls soar and gather, white sails are dotted, and fishing boats sing at night. Yueyang Tower by the lake is one of the three famous buildings in China, Zhuang Jihua has not been to the previous life, it just so happened that Li Zhilong led the propaganda team of the Political Department from Changde to Yueyang, Zhuang Jihua invited him to visit Yueyang Tower together, this propaganda team led by Li Zhilong is actually a performance team, performing revolutionary dramas in various places, there are a lot of Luan Luan Yanyan in the team, and most of them are slender and good-looking, which is very eye-catching. As soon as the Luan Yan heard this, they clamored to go together, and Zhuang Jihua agreed regardless of Li Zhilong's eyes.

At this time, Yueyang Lou did not sell tickets, and there were many small businesses in it, and Zhuang Jihua was tired with this group of Luan Yanyoulou, which was more tiring than taking a group.

"Master Zhuang, what do you think it is?" Beautiful eyes flowed, and the face was full of pleading.

"Fishing boats." How could someone who came out of Guangzhou not even know the fishing boat.

"Brother Zhuang, is Junshan the island?"

"Oh, yes." I know and ask, bothered or not.

"Chief Zhuang, what's flying?"

"Birds." Do you see any other animals flying except birds?

"I hate it, people know it's a bird, and people ask what is the name of this bird?"

"I don't know, maybe that uncle knows, you ask him to go." If you hate it, don't ask, what are you doing with your arms?

"Big brother," he simply omitted his surname: "What does this couplet mean?" ”

"Captain Li is a master in this area, please ask him to help you answer the question." Zhuang Jihua really couldn't stand it, and asked Li Zhilong for help, but Li Zhilong listened to it, turned a blind eye, and turned around and went downstairs. This unrighteous guy, Zhuang Jihua scolded in his heart. However, he had an idea, and said to Luan Yan: "I see that everyone is hot, there is a tea shed downstairs, let's go drink tea, okay, I'll have a treat." ”

Luan Yan cheered, the fragrant wind immediately drifted downstairs, Zhuang Jihua wiped the sweat on his face, this is much more tired than bringing a ball.

"I said Zaitian, how did you bring them to Yueyang?" Zhuang Jihua asked Li Zhilong with palpitations.

"Now you know it's great, but they don't do that to me." Li Zhilong smiled indifferently.

"Did they do it on purpose?" Zhuang Jihua wondered, he didn't offend them.

"Of course it's on purpose, who made you not get married, and I got married." Li Zhilong winked at Zhuang Jihua slyly: "Besides, if you promise them to come together, isn't it just not good." ”

"Who said that, I'm a dry sea to Ah Shu." Zhuang Jihua's intentions were seen through, and he didn't blush at all, and he defended himself vigorously.

"I saw that Ah Shu was blind." Li Zhilong glared at him with "disdain".

"Zaitian, I don't believe you didn't talk to them..."Zhuang Jihua saw Li Zhilong's murderous eyes, and quickly stopped talking.

"Cultural Revolution, what's wrong with you today? I've never seen you like this before. "Li Zhilong is very strange.

Zhuang Jihua himself doesn't know, he always feels that there is a fire burning in his heart recently, lying over and over at night always thinking about Liu Yinshu's wonderful body, maybe it's time to find a woman to vent the fire, Zhuang Jihua thought secretly in his heart, but his face was gloomy.

"I'm not idle, and if I'm idle, something will happen." Zhuang Jihua said with a sad face.

"It's true, in fact, it's a shame to say, I haven't fought a single battle since I came out of the military academy for so many years," Li Zhilong said in a complaining tone: "The first Eastern Crusade, I led the propaganda team, and finally the Northern Expedition started, and I also led the propaganda team, even if I was given a company, a platoon, or a squad, but now..." ”

"Forget it, don't mention it, what you need now is to lie down and taste the guts, and wait for it." Zhuang Jihua relieved Li Zhilong.

"It's going to be when." Li Zhilong sighed, if it weren't for Deng Yanda this time, he would probably only wander the streets of Guangzhou.

Zhuang Jihua said in his heart that if you don't publicly declare your withdrawal [***], I'm afraid that [***] at this time will pull you, who asked you to declare your support for Chiang Kai-shek, but the current Chiang Kai-shek doesn't want to get involved with you.

"That matter hasn't completely passed, why wait a year or two, and the principal will still use you then."

Zhuang Jihua kept his mouth shut about [***], he knew that [***] would never forgive Li Zhilong.

"Why did Principal Jiang hang you here?" Li Zhilong was a little dissatisfied that Zhuang Jihua did not go to the battlefield, and he was not in a hurry at all: "Anyway, your Zhuang Cultural Revolution still has the reputation of being good at fighting." ”

"Well, I'm looking at Sun Chuanfang," Zhuang Jihua looked at the fishing boats shuttling on Dongting Lake, and said slowly: "Sun Chuanfang doesn't move, I don't move, as soon as he moves, I'll move, look, it won't be long." ”

Li Zhilong was silent for a moment and nodded: "If Wuchang is defeated and Sun Chuanfang still doesn't move, I'm afraid we will have to go to him." I heard that Pu Quan (Cao Yuan) and Jin Sheng (Xu Jishen) were both reading the group, and I don't know what happened to them. ”

"There shouldn't be any problem, if there is, there will be news from the battle report or Wushan." Zhuang Jihua comforted Li Zhilong and comforted himself, Xu Jishen did not have a deep friendship with him, but Cao Yuan was a brother who rolled out of the seventh company with him, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and secretly prayed for Cao Yuan's safety.

But while they were chatting, Cao Yuan reported to the regiment commander Ye Ting under the artillery fire of Wuchang City: "There is no hope of entering the city, the casualties of the post will be exhausted, and there are only more than ten people left, but the revolutionary soldiers have advanced and not retreated, where to go, please instruct." Before the name was signed, a flying bullet hit the head and died on the spot, only twenty-four years old.

This attack on Wuchang Chiang Kai-shek was full of energy, not only invested in the Fourth Army, the Seventh Army, but also pushed Liu Zhi's troops to the battlefield, originally thought that after the Tingsi Bridge, He Sheng Bridge two fierce battles, Wu Peifu elite has been exhausted, no strength to fight again, full of hope that Liu Zhi can be the first to attack the city of Wuchang, for him to take Wuchang, for him to win glory; Unexpectedly, Liu Zhi lied about the military situation, resulting in heavy casualties in the Fourth Army, and the generals complained, Chiang Kai-shek complained in his heart but had to cover up for Liu Zhi, and only Hu Zongnan's regiment fought well in the dark records of the Second Division, and almost climbed to the top of the city, which gave Chiang Kai-shek a little comfort.

The Eighth Army led by Tang Shengzhi took Hanyang lightly with the cooperation of Liu Zuolong, and Wu Peifu fled north to Henan. Wu Peifu left, the Hankou defenders collapsed, Tang Shengzhi took the opportunity to take Hankou, all this made Chiang Kai-shek regret it, and the rebellion against the Hanyang defender Liu Zuolong was still the result of Zhuang Jihua's eighteen Arhat plan, but he didn't expect this peach to be picked by Tang Shengzhi.

Tang Shengzhi then launched an attack north of Hankou, until Wusheng Pass and Pingqing Pass, closing the northern gate of Hubei, and only Liu Yuchun, who was still holding on to Wuchang City, remained in the entire Jianghan Plain.

Wu Peifu's rapid defeat made Zhang Zuolin of Yanjing and Sun Chuanfang of Nanjing restless, especially Sun Chuanfang, who now regrets that he did not listen to Jiang Baili's plan.

When the Northern Expeditionary Army was still in Hunan, Jiang Baili proposed three strategies to Sun Chuanfang, the upper and lower strategies, the upper strategy was to take advantage of the Northern Expeditionary Army's fierce battle with Wu Peifu in Hubei, Sun's army went all out to move westward, seize Changsha, and cut off the rear route of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The middle strategy is that when the Northern Expeditionary Army besieged Wuhan, Sun Chuanfang went up the river, first made the Northern Expeditionary Army and Wu Peifu hold each other in the south of Wuhan, consume each other's military strength, and then stand by.

The next strategy is to gather the main force to deploy defense in Jiangxi, wait for work, and wait for the Northern Expeditionary Army to attack.

Sun Chuanfang chose the next strategy, the best case scenario is that he will send troops after Wu Peifu loses Wuhan, so that he can justifiably recover Wuhan, instead of aiding Wuhan, so that Wuhan is his territory and not Wu Peifu's territory. But he didn't expect that Wu Peifu would be defeated so quickly, and the national political axe swore in July, and in early September, Hanyang Hankou was conquered, and the lonely city of Wuchang could be defended for a few days.

There is another reason why Sun Chuanfang chose to make a decision, that is, Zhang Zongchang of the Zhilu Coalition Army, Sun Chuanfang was worried that if he moved westward in a big way, Zhang Zongchang would go south along Jinpu Road and end up his old nest.

Chiang Kai-shek had been on guard against Sun Chuanfang, the Second and Third Armies had remained in Yanling, Hunan, and the First Division of the First Army had also been placed in Yueyang to monitor movements in Jiangxi. After occupying Yuezhou, he successively sent He Chengjun and Zhang Qun as envoys to Nanjing to persuade Sun Chuanfang to be neutral. These measures have also played a role, but the main thing is that both have scruples and dare not move.

After Wu Peifu was defeated in the Miluo River, Sun Chuanfang vaguely felt bad and began to increase troops in Jiangxi, which was still small-scale at first; After the two battles of Tingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge, Sun Chuanfang began to increase his troops in Jiangxi.

After the fall of Hankou in Hanyang, Zhang Zuolin of Yanjing couldn't sit still, and invited Sun Chuanfang's old superior, Wang Zhanyuan, to be a lobbyist, willing to make peace with Sun Chuanfang, and Sun Chuanfang was of course willing.

Sun Chuanfang, who had relieved his worries, immediately hardened his attitude, and even telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek to ask the Northern Expeditionary Army to return to Guangdong, and "Hunan government should be returned to the Hunan people." After Chiang Kai-shek received the telegram, he said in his heart that if you come a few days earlier, I may still be worried, but it is just right to come now, and if you don't come, I will beat you; Subsequently, he ordered the Second Army and the Third Army to attack Pingxiang, and ordered the three divisions of the First Army to assemble on the border of Guangdong and Jiangxi to jointly garrison Lai Shihuang, who had secretly thrown himself into the national political axe in Ruijin, to attack Ganzhou.

The task of besieging Wuchang was given to the Fourth, Seventh, and Eighth Armies, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to leave the Second Division in Wuchang as well, but Tang Shengzhi did not agree.

"Your first army's military discipline is too poor and its combat effectiveness is too weak, you can use them in other directions, I don't want them here." Tang Shengzhi did not show the slightest affection to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was silent, but he was already furious in his heart, and he understood Tang Shengzhi's intentions. Tang Shengzhi was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would fight for Wuhan with him, so he simply drove the First Army out of Hubei, anyway, it was enough for three armies to surround Wuchang.

After going out, Chiang Kai-shek said to Liu Zhi: "Don't want the two lakes, let's go to Jiangxi." ”

On the third day of Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong's tour of the building, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the 1st Division to assemble at Tongcheng.

Zhuang Jihua's free life ended, and a gorgeous and dangerous battle of Jiangxi began.
