Section 46 Assault on Freshwater (4)
Soon after departure, there was a light rain in the sky, and it took an hour and twenty minutes to arrive, and in the darkness four times touched the city of Tamsui City. Wang Gongliang led a squad to quietly build a bridge over the moat; Xia Yanglin estimated that the moat in Tamsui City was three meters wide, and Jiang Xianyun felt unsafe, so he made a bamboo ladder more than four meters long, which became a simple bridge when laid on the moat.
Jiang Xianyun explained to Li Xianzhou that if we can't come back, you lead the troops to retreat to the southwest, so he led a platoon of the remaining two squads to carry the climbing ladder quietly to the city wall, erected the climbing ladder, Jiang Xianyun was the first to climb up, climbed to the top only to find that the climbing ladder was not long enough, there was still a distance of nearly 1 meter from the battlement, he listened to the movement on the city, grabbed the edge of the city with both hands, jumped up to the city with all his might, and then hid by the city wall, and then Wang Gongliang also boarded the city. Led by the two commanders, a platoon of soldiers quietly ascended the city.
Without waiting for all the soldiers to enter the city, Jiang Xianyun and Wang Gongliang each led a group of people to touch the towers on both sides. The light of fire shone through the hidden doors of the towers. At four o'clock in the morning, when the official drowsiness was the strongest, the only sentry dozed in the rain under the eaves, and only occasionally looked up and looked around, cursing this ghost weather in his heart, in his opinion, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was still far away, and there were still more than twenty miles away from Tamsui, and this was the east gate, not the south gate and the west gate. When he looked up again, he saw a pistol against his chest, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to scream, but the owner of the pistol reached out and covered his mouth.
After controlling the Chen Jun of a squad stationed in the city gate tower, Jiang Xianyun quietly went down to the city and quickly touched the city gate, without any accidents, the soldiers guarding the city gate were hiding in the city gate hole, and there were people watching above, the city gate was closed, what could happen.
The guard sat in the corner and fell asleep, Lian Yanxiong was still looking at the map, since Zhang Liguo sent troops, he lived in the headquarters and never returned home, he has been up and down in his heart, the reinforcements promised by Chen Jiongming have not arrived for a long time, and Tamsui is almost an empty city; Hong Zhaolin repeatedly claimed that the Yunnan army in front of him was strong and could not send reinforcements, but in fact, he understood Hong Zhaofu's thoughts, he just wanted to see Ye Ju's jokes; A few days later, Zhang Liguo came back, and after Lian Yanxiong learned that the defenders of Guangjiu Road were wiped out, he sent an urgent request for help to Ye Ju and Chen Jiongming.
Thousands of men and horses were wiped out in two battles, Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang did not know whether they were alive or dead, this was never done before, Lian Yanxiong felt that Sun Yat-sen's Eastern Expedition was different from the past, two years ago, although Sun Yat-sen's soldiers were many, but they were never so resolute, everyone fought on the battlefield, leaving each other a little leeway, unlike now it is life and death, a company of the Huangpu School Army in Zhangmutou, blocking the north and blocking the south, who dared to fight like this in the Yunnan Gui army before.
On the other hand, the army, after arriving in the Dongjiang River, is not as good as before, there are many contradictions between the generals, Hong Zhaolin wants to get a piece of the pie in Huizhou, Ye Juming is blocking and secretly pushing, so that now the freshwater crisis Hong Zhaolin is unwilling to send troops to rescue, but then again, the Dongjiang River is barren, who is willing to let the fat in the mouth again.
I'm afraid that tomorrow the Eastern Expeditionary Army will reach the city walls, and if reinforcements do not arrive, the loss of Tamsui is almost certain. He was thinking about it when the door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold wind blew outside the door, and several people broke in, and they came in without even knocking on the door.
It was too presumptuous, Lian Yanxiong looked up angrily only to see several swarthy muzzles aimed at him, and the other two pairs aimed at the awakened guards. A young officer in his own army uniform smiled at him and said, "We are the Whampoa Cadet Army, you have been captured, hand over your weapons." ”
After Jiang Xianyun restrained the defenders at the city gate, he used the same method to touch the defenders' camp near the city gate, and eliminated all the defenders at the east gate without firing a shot. Through the east gate defender company commander to find out the headquarters of the Tamsui defenders, and then left Li Xianzhou platoon guards, the rest of the departments immediately attacked the headquarters with him, in order to deal with the enemy troops that may be encountered on the road, they also changed into the enemy's uniforms, who knows that this is completely redundant, the enemy in the city is more loose, and the enemy army on the road did not meet the patrol to the headquarters, and then it is like acting, the guards at the door are easily solved, Jiang Xianyun took a squad to the room where the performance is practiced, and Wang Jiaxiu takes a squad to solve the guard class, Wang Gongliang is responsible for solving the rest of the people.
"How did you get in?" Although he had disarmed, Lian Yanxiong still didn't understand how these people entered the city.
Jiang Xianyun didn't tie him up, just sent two soldiers to watch him, turned around and went out, Lian Yanxiong knew that this was to solve the other people in the headquarters, and after a while, Jiang Xianyun came back.
"How did we get in, we'll talk about it later, Master Trainer, can you do me a favor now? Call the battalion and battalion commanders to come to the meeting, and the company commander Li who guards the east gate is no longer needed, and there is no need here. The plan went very smoothly, Jiang Xianyun was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but learn Zhuang Jihua's way of speaking.
Lian Yanxiong picked up the phone helplessly, made several calls in a row, and asked the company commanders of each battalion to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, and the result was naturally to clean up one by one. Then Jiang Xianyun and Wang Gongliang took the commander of the South Gate Garrison to the South Gate, the South Gate Defenders lived scattered, Jiang Xianyun was connected to a company under the leadership of the battalion commander, and the South Gate was controlled in half an hour, and then immediately sent Wang Gongliang to take people to ride horses to the regiment headquarters for help, that Xia Yanglin mixed with Li Xianzhou's troops and followed up the city, this time he volunteered to lead the way.
Wang Gongliang had never ridden a horse before, but he had no choice but to harden it. He clenched the reins and desperately beat his horse to rush forward, don't look at the progress of the fourth company now, there are still two doors that are not controlled, and even if it is controlled, as soon as the enemy reinforcements arrive tomorrow, the fourth company will face a hard battle.
A horse ran by, Wang Gongliang was surprised to see Xia Yanglin swaying freely on the horse, the dog said, this kid's riding skills are not bad. Of course it's not bad, there are several horses in the Xia family, Xia Yanglin has liked to ride horses since he was a child, he runs east and west on horseback, you should be walking.
"You loosen the reins a little and clamp your legs, and the horse will run faster." Xia Yanglin ran for a distance and then stopped and waited for Wang Gongliang to come up and say loudly to him, and then ran away on his own, making Wang Gongliang angry.
Xia Yanglin, a small village in front of the stone drum, was stopped by the sentry, he was wearing a Chen Army uniform to make the sentry think that he was a sentry, fortunately it was at night, otherwise the sentry would have shot from afar.
Liu Zhi, the commander of the third battalion, said that he didn't believe that the fourth company had taken down the tamsui, and the four-way siege set by the principal actually let Jiang Xianyun take it down in one company, he was very suspicious that this was the other party's dead soldier, but seeing that this young man was excited, it didn't look like it, and when he was hesitating, Wang Gongliang arrived.
The three battalions were urgently mobilized, followed by the entire first regiment, He Yingqin was happy, Jiang Xianyun's contribution was too timely, Wang Bailing, the utopian theorist, relied on Zhuang Jihua to fight a beautiful battle, and when he saw him in the last meeting, he almost put his eyes on the door of his head, now look at what you are proud of, your second regiment has Zhuang Jihua and I have Jiang Xianyun in the first regiment.
When Liu Zhi arrived in Tamsui, Jiang Xianyun and the enemy were facing off near the North Gate, they were discovered by an early soldier when they attacked the West Gate, and were forced to shoot, but the defenders of the West Gate found it too late and were quickly eliminated by the Fourth Company, but the North Gate defenders were prepared, and Jiang Xianyun had no choice but to launch a strong attack, but because the troops were too small, the attack failed to form a confrontation.
Liu Zhi came at the right time, the enemy had just been integrated and was preparing to launch a counteroffensive, because the officers at the senior points were all captured, and the remaining junior officers were a little unconvinced, and after fighting for a while, they found that this kind of separate warfare would not work, so they had to elect a commander-in-chief to be responsible for commanding the various departments.
As soon as Liu Zhi arrived, he sounded the trumpet of the charge and launched an attack, Chen Jun found that the reinforcements of the school army in the city had arrived, and immediately abandoned the city and fled.
Yin Ji's headquarters, who came from Haifeng, only walked to Tamsui at noon, because Jiang Xianyun assumed himself to be the head of the regiment in Shuitianxu, which frightened Yin's vanguard regiment (the information came from the vanguard company rescued by Shuitianxu), so he was cautious along the way, and waited for the follow-up troops to come up before starting to act. By the time they arrived, not only was the first regiment in the city, but Chiang Kai-shek and Gallen had already entered the city with the second regiment, and the main force of Zhang Mingda's division of the second division of the Cantonese army had reached the foot of Elephant Mountain on the west bank of the Tamsui River, and another division had crossed the river and approached Tamsui; The Xu Ji Department of the Seventh Brigade of the Guangdong Army arrived at Shuiyangtang.
Yin Ji saw that things could not be violated, so he retreated in the direction of Changshan Pass and Immortal Stone in the north.
Fresh water is finally in hand, and the south gate of Huizhou is open.
However, the reinforcements from Boluo and Yang Kunru from Huizhou were only a few dozen miles away from Tamsui, and the strikers had already arrived at Wangniugang.
Yin Ji met Hong Zhaolin and Yang Kunru, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, Li Kecheng, at Laopojiao between Wangniugang and Changshankou, and when they learned that the freshwater had been lost, they stopped their advance and asked Chen Jiongming for the next course of action, and Chen Jiongming called back and ordered them to immediately recapture the freshwater. After the three of them discussed, it was decided to attack Tamsui from the direction of the sand pit with Hong Zhaolin's division as the main force, Yin Ji's division to attack the north of Tamsui from Wangniugang, and Li Kecheng to deploy defenses along Huangshawei and greens to cover the flanks of Hong Yin's two divisions.
Soon after Chiang Kai-shek entered Tamsui, he received reinforcements from Chen's army under the leadership of Hong Zhaolin and Yin Ji to rush to the area north of Tamsui, and after consulting with Gallen, he ordered the 2nd Regiment to be instructed to deploy along the sand pit, and the Xu Ji Department of the 7th Brigade of the Guangdong Army and a part of the 2nd Division of the Guangdong Army attacked north along Wangniugang, and the main force of the 2nd Division of the Guangdong Army set out from the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and guarded the north with a part, and the main force crossed the river through the mountain pit and attacked in the direction of the green.
The two armies collided head-on north of Tamsui for the first decisive battle of the First Crusade.
(Chiang Kai-shek said in a chic manner: Without the support of book friends, you can win the battle, vote!) The more the merrier, that's our bullet. )
