Zhuang Jihua was about to speak, Song Yunfei and Xiaoxiu came back, the two looked very happy, Song Yunfei was holding a medicine plate, Xiaoxiu was holding a newspaper and a stack of letters in his hand, and called when he entered the door: "Lao Zhuang, the newspaper has begun to promote you again, Nuo, what a big photo." ”

As he spoke, he threw the newspaper in front of Zhuang Jihua, and then took the stack of letters and said with a smile: "Who do you guess this is written for?" ”

Why is this little girl not big or small, it shouldn't have been too gentle in the first place, Zhuang Jihua asked with a wry smile: "Is there a photo?" ”

Xiaoxiu raised her eyebrows: "It's boring, and I don't know how to cooperate." After speaking, he squeezed it with his hand, and then said unhappily: "No, I'm a little disappointed." ”

"Sort of." Zhuang Jihua said cooperatively, picking up the newspaper and looking at it seriously, there was recent news on it, the Wuhan branch of the Huangpu Military Academy was enrolled, and a large number of young people enthusiastically signed up; Borodin and others met with Chiang Kai-shek in Nanchang; Zhuang Wenge division commander Huangpu two or three things.

"So the gossip? We are also major generals. Zhuang Jihua muttered with a bitter face, Xiaoxiu raised her eyebrows, and her apricot eyes widened: "What did you say?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm talking about this Wuhan newspaper, it's really boring. It's been so long since I've had a good time, why don't you report something good and say that I'm recovering well or something. Zhuang Jihua felt very uncomfortable thinking of this.

"Don't worry, Sister Yin Shu should have already received the letter, so she won't worry." Xiaoxiu knew what he was worried about, so she comforted him.

After Zhuang Jihua woke up, he learned that newspapers everywhere were reporting the news of his injury, and immediately thought of Liu Yinshu, and immediately dictated a letter, asking Song Yunfei to immediately ask someone to take him to Guangzhou, and told Liu Yinshu not to be in a hurry and not to leave Guangdong. It's just that he hasn't received a reply for nearly a month since the letter was sent, which makes him faintly worried.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the letters that were thrown on the bed by Xiaoxiu, these were written by those revolutionary young women, not the first batch, and it would not be the last batch, he knew the content of the letters without reading them, some of them were condolences on behalf of various groups, most of them were courtship letters recommended by Mao Sui, and a few were also sandwiched with photos.

Zhuang Jihua sighed, put away the letters scattered on the bed, glanced at each envelope, and then handed it to Xiaoxiu to burn.

Snowflakes fluttering down, such snow is difficult to see in Guangzhou, the inside and outside of the hospital suddenly turned into a snow white, a few plums in the ward bloomed, and there was a burst of fragrance. The laughter in the hospital is increasing, Christmas is coming, and the hospital that once belonged to the church still retains the Christmas customs.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, which had rested for more than a month in the cold winter, relaunched its offensive in northern Jiangxi, Zhang Fakui's troops crossed the Yangtze River after defeating Chen Tiaoyuan at Wuxue, and Wang Tianpei led the Tenth Army to penetrate directly into Anhui and attack Hukou by detouring Huikou Street; Gu Zhutong led three divisions of the First Army and the Fourteenth Army to attack Jiangdong in two ways, one was the three divisions of the First Army led by Gu Zhutong himself, with Jinxian as the starting point, and the other was Lai Shihuang's 14th Army, with Fuzhou as the place of attack, the two roads were expected to converge at Yingtan, and then attack in the direction of Jingdezhen, and then march west to attack Mukou from the south.

In addition to the outer encirclement of Wang Tianpei and Gu Zhutong, the inner layer concentrated the Seventh Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, the reorganized Sixth Army, and the Second Division of the First Army, which launched an attack from the northern, central and southern directions.

The northern route was responsible for the Seventh Army and Zhang Fakui's division, attacking from Wuning to De'an, with the task of cutting off the Nanxun line, and the central route was responsible for the Third Army and the Sixth Army, attacking from Anyi to Yongxiu; The southern route was personally commanded by Chiang Kai-shek, and the Second Army and the Second Division of the First Army were in charge of attacking north along the Nanxun line. The First Division of the First Army was commanded by Xue Yue, deputy division commander and acting division commander, and was stationed in Nanchang.

But this brilliant offensive is just an exercise, after the fall of Nanchang, Sun Chuanfang's camp was greatly shaken, Zhejiang Governor Xia Chao, Chen Yi announced that Zhejiang Reading Force, although it quickly failed, but Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition army has been unstable, and then there was news that Zhou Fengqi fornicated with the Northern Expeditionary Army, although Sun Chuanfang did not believe it, but also felt that Jiangxi might not be able to hold it, but he was unwilling to retreat like this, he also wanted to fight a dozen, so he preset a position around Jiujiang, transferred Lu Xiangting's department to Jiujiang to deploy, moved Zhou Fengqi's department forward, and let Chen Diaoyuan's department move south, preparing to go out of Ruichang, Wuning copied the back road of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

As soon as the battle began, Zhou Fengqi immediately announced that he would accept the leadership of the National Political Axe, and his headquarters was reorganized into the 26th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. His defection revealed a big hole in Sun Chuanfang's defense line, and then Li Zongren fought a bloody battle against Wangjiapu and annihilated the two brigades of Sun Army, Liu Fengtu and Bi Huadong, Sun Chuanfang felt that he had to retreat immediately, and Jiujiang could not hold it. At this time, it was too late for him to order a retreat, and the Second Army and the Second Division, which were moving north along the railway, converged with the Third Army and the Sixth Army advancing westward from Anyi, and then the Second Army was on the left and the Third Army was on the right, advancing in unison to easily conquer the strategic Tujiabu; Li Zongren and Zhang Fakui fought their way westward, and Wang Tianpei, who made a detour to Jiangbei, and Gu Zhutong, who conquered Jingdezhen, joined forces east of Hukou, and Sun Chuanfang's main force of nearly 70,000 people fell into the siege.

After this battle, Sun Chuanfang's nearly 150,000 troops transferred into Jiangxi were annihilated by 120,000, especially its main elite was wiped out, and only two slightly stronger troops were left in Song Meicun and Meng Zhaoyue, which pacified Zhejiang. The Zhou Yin people of Fujian were also defeated in successive battles against He Yingqin, and in just three months, they lost most of Fujian's land, including Fuzhou, and retreated to the border of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Jiangxi was completely recovered, and just when it was time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when it went straight to Jinling, the Northern Expeditionary Army stopped attacking on all fronts, and Chiang Kai-shek relied on the prestige brought by the unprecedented victory, and his attitude towards moving the capital became tougher.

The newspaper was full of war, but Zhuang Jihua was enjoying the snow and watching the plums, Jordi finally agreed that he could get out of the room, Song Yunfei got him a wheelchair, and pushed him around the hospital when he was free, there was a small garden near the inpatient department, planted with more than a dozen plum trees, and the yellow flowers bloomed proudly in the cold wind.

"Zaitian, what Yongmei poems do you remember?" Zhuang Jihua looked at the little flowers and felt a sense of anger in his heart, and wanted to write poems.

"I remember that, Huiqin may know, when she comes later, let her tell you." Li Zhilong said sullenly.

Of course Li Zhilong is depressed, he is now an idler again, almost all the members of his propaganda team have gone to apply for the Huangpu Wuhan Branch, especially those women, as soon as they heard that the Wuhan Branch recruited female soldiers, they jumped eight feet high, fortunately it was winter, otherwise Bai Shengsheng's calves would have scared him to the spring.

"Cut, you are still a talented student of the Two Lakes Normal Academy, it seems that you don't live up to your name." Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to see Li Zhilong's depression, and actually teased him.

"I'm a small school, not a teacher's college." Li Zhilong said angrily that because he was in a hurry, he came more diligently during this time, and people on both sides of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Wuhan did not like to take care of him, and he felt that he had completely become a marginal person of the revolution.

"The one who is close to the ink is black, and the attached small should also have three points, why don't you have any points." Zhuang Jihua still continues to ridicule.

Li Zhilong's face was a little worried, his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character, and he said a little impatiently: "I don't know, I don't know." Cultural Revolution, do you think I can still lead troops? Even if it's even one. ”

Zhuang Jihua did not answer directly, he looked at the plum in the cold wind and said: "Look at this plum, when the spring flowers bloom and the flowers compete for beauty, it quietly looks on the sidelines, and it only stands quietly in the summer, and when the autumn is high and the fruit is abundant, it begins to conceive, and in winter, when the flowers are all killed, when the eyes are full of desolation, it reads the cold wind, and blooms in the wind and frost; Give hope to those who are struggling in the cold wind, in the snow and ice. In the field, don't worry, now is the time when the spring flowers are blooming and the flowers are blooming, you might as well learn from this cold plum and watch from the sidelines. ”

"Now is spring in full bloom? So you mean there's still winter? Li Zhilong was a little puzzled, in his opinion, the revolutionary situation was very good, and the southeast was only a snap of a finger, and there might be winter there.

"Isn't it already winter now?" Xiaoxiu didn't understand, and kindly reminded them: "You must be wrong, it should be winter coming, will spring be far away?" ”

Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong were stunned at the same time, and then realized that they had ignored this simple girl, Zhuang Jihua immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, spring is not far away, the season of flowers is coming, that is, I should be able to go to the ground." By the way, Xiaoxiu, the flowers in that place in Wuhan are the best? You have to go with us, you can't just accompany Yunfei's kid. ”

Xiaoxiu's face turned red, and she patted Zhuang Jihua's head with shame and anger: "Whoever goes with him, he is a piece of wood, and it is not as interesting as that Wushan." ”

"Oh, is it? Then I'll find another companion for him, next time Yunfei has a letter, you are responsible for reading it and seeing if there is a suitable one. Zhuang Jihua said half-truthfully, this little girl was his opponent, and he was immediately fooled: "You dare to ,..."

As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, his face turned even redder, and he pouted and said, "It's still the teacher, it's not in shape." ”

Zhuang Jihua's appointment as division commander has been announced, but the rank has not yet been raised; Song Yunfei came over and asked, "Commander, what letter?" ”

Every time Zhuang Jihua talked to Li Zhilong or Jiang Xianyun about things, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu deliberately avoided it, although Zhuang Jihua didn't say it, but they knew that Zhuang Jihua didn't want them to get involved in these things, so Song Yunfei only heard half of what he said just now.

"It's nothing, you go get some clothes and come out, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold." Xiaoxiu said quickly.

Song Yunfei looked at Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong suspiciously, both of whom were serious. Seeing that Zhuang Jihua didn't have any orders, Song Yunfei left suspiciously. As soon as he left, Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong laughed loudly at the same time.

Xiaoxiu was so ashamed and anxious that she didn't even have a place to put her hands, Zhuang Jihua suddenly covered her chest and coughed violently, Xiaoxiu was happy now: "You deserve it, you deserve it, this is the newspaper of the present world." ”

As he spoke, his little hand thrashed lightly on his back.
