Even if Xue Yue was already standing in front of Zhuang Jihua, he still couldn't believe that Nanchang City had collapsed, according to his assumption, there were nineteen divisions in Nanchang City, Xue Yue's regiment, plus the troops directly under the division headquarters, how could there be nearly 6,000 people, organize it well, it is no problem to hold it for two days, he can use these two days to retreat to the west with a regiment, and then go to the Nanxun line to look for fighters, and strive to cut off the Nanxun line.

"I brought the division headquarters out as well." Xue Yue's deep voice echoed in the station dispatch room, the personnel of the first division were very clever, and after they learned that Cheng Qian had left, they did not follow to Deng's shop, but ran to the victory gate to find Xue Yue, and crossed the river with Xue Yue.

Xue Yue's arrival made Zhuang Jihua re-examine the strength in his hands, the first regiment and the third regiment combined were close to 3,000 people, plus the troops directly under the division headquarters, the whole army had more than 3,000 people, and gathered these more than 3,000 people to rush to the west.

"Gather your troops and break out immediately." Zhuang Jihua stood up suddenly: "The first regiment opened the road, the team directly under the division headquarters was in the center, and after the third regiment was broken, we retreated westward." ”

Zhuang Jihua's decision was not unpleasant, but it was still too late, the troops had not yet set off, and the outer cordon reported that a large number of enemies had appeared in the west, and new reinforcements had arrived in the north.

When Zheng Junyan defeated the 55th Regiment at Zhangjiangmen, he realized that the Northern Expeditionary Army in Nanchang was already in chaos, so he immediately ordered the follow-up troops not to cross the river and transfer to Niuhang Station under the command of Yang Genghe, so the 2nd Mixed Brigade and the 6th Mixed Brigade of the rear guard unit turned around and transferred to Niuhang Station. It's just that their distance is far, and the soldiers are dissatisfied with not being able to enter Nanchang to enjoy the three-day holiday that does not prohibit military discipline, and they walk relatively slowly; It took Xue Yue too much time to cross the river, but his distance was much shorter, and troops were increased on both sides of the Niuhang station, one in front of the other. Zhuang Jihua received reinforcements of nearly 2,000 people, and Yang Genghe received reinforcements of more than 8,000 people.

After receiving reinforcements, Yang Genghe adjusted his deployment to surround the west with the stronger Sixth Mixed Brigade, with the Second Mixed Brigade in the north, and he took the Reading Brigade and a regiment of the Tenth Division to the east to surround the Niuhang Station.

Zhuang Jihua immediately changed his decision and decided to defend the Yuniuhang station, he set up a division headquarters in the dispatch room, set up a radio station, took over Yu Chengwan's position with the eighth battalion of the third regiment, and built two more lines of defense in the north, with the second battalion to guard the front three lines of defense, and established three lines of defense in the east, with Liu Jing's three battalions to defend, the ferry side sent the ninth battalion to defend, the seventh battalion was responsible for guarding the station, the first battalion and the battalion directly under the division were the reserves, and the artillery position was established in the station.

Zhuang Jihua desperately rushed to build fortifications in the station, but the three brigades outside the station did not launch an attack for a long time, because the commander-in-chief Yang Genghe neither wanted to fight nor could command.

Liang Hongen, commander of the Second Mixed Brigade, and Peng Dequan, the commander of the Sixth Mixed Brigade, are Sun Chuanfang's descendants, and their subordinates are numerous and well-equipped, and they are unwilling to be under the command of Yang Genghe, and Yang Genghe is unwilling to take the lead with his own troops, so the three of them each stand on one side and watch Zhuang Jihua rush to repair the fortifications in the station.

For a whole day and night, there was no movement at Niuhang Station, which made Lu Xiangting in Tujiabu and Zheng Junyan in Nanchang City very strange, Lu Xiangting was strange that there was no battle report, and Zheng Junyan was strange why it was so quiet. The inquiries of the two arrived at Niuhang Station one after another, and Yang Genghe had no choice but to invite Liang Hongen and Peng Dequan to discuss, no matter what, they had to fight.

"Two, Commander-in-Chief Lu (Lu Xiangting is the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by Sun Chuanfang to aid Jiangxi, and Sun Chuanfang's troops in Jiangxi are under his command. Both Commander Zheng called to inquire about the battle situation, but the commander of the brother was not easy to answer, so he specially invited the two to come over to discuss. Yang Genghe knew that these two were not convinced, so he said very politely.

Peng Dequan rolled his eyes and said with a big grin: "Brother Yang, you are the commander-in-chief, how do you say to fight?" "His Sixth Mixed Brigade has nearly 5,000 men, the most powerful of the three brigades, and the most arrogant of the three.

Yang Geng and his heart said listen to me, if you can listen to me, I won't fight early; He looked at Liang Hongen and said quietly: "Brother Peng's words are out of sight, brother, I know that I don't have that ability, it's just Commander Zheng's order, if Brother Peng is willing, I am willing to give this command position with both hands." ”

"Don't, don't, this word is going to be passed on to Xin Shuai, and I thought that I was in the position of the conductor with Peng Daxuan's eyes, but in fact, that thing was a fart, and it was not after it was released."

Peng Dequan's words made Yang Genghe's face red and white for a while, and he was furious, leaving the matter of discussing the attack behind, and slapped the table and shouted: "Peng Dacao chicken, who are you talking about?" ”

Peng Dequan's background is not very good, he has opened a kiln at home, he is usually the most angry with others to expose his shortcomings, and when he heard it, he was immediately angry, Liang Hongen saw that the two were going to quarrel, and hurriedly pulled a fight: "Two, two, the enemy is now, we should work together, we can't make a dispute of will." ”

He pressed Yang Genghe on his seat, and then said to the two: "Commander-in-Chief Lu and Commander Zheng handed over the task of attacking Niuhang Station to us, and if we beat it down, we all have a glow on our faces, if we can't beat it, we all have to take responsibility, and no one can fall well, the two said that this is not the case?" ”

Peng Dequan and Yang Genghe confronted each other with a blushing face and thick neck, and it seemed that no one would give in, but Liang Hongen's words also played a role, and the eyes of the two were no longer so sharp, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

"After all, Brother Yang is the commander-in-chief appointed by Commander Zheng, so please ask him to come up with a plan, let's all discuss, Brother Peng, what do you think?" Liang Hongen wasted no time in proposing a compromise plan.

Peng Dequan's nose twitched slightly, he didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, Yang Genghe also took the opportunity to step down, he adjusted his mood before he spoke: "My opinion is that the main direction of attack is set in the west, take the small hill first, and then attack the station from where." ”

Peng Dequan was about to get angry when he heard this, he didn't know if he wanted his troops to fight hard.

"How can this be done, you should attack from the east, directly attack the station, there is no shelter, the terrain is open, the attack is not conducive to defense, the main attack direction should be set in the east."

"They built three lines of defense on the east side and defended very tightly." Yang Genghe is certainly not a fool, and he is not willing to take the lead with his troops.

The two quarreled again, and Peng Dequan said that he also had several lines of defense, and the terrain was not favorable; Yang Genghe said that the Sixth Mixed Brigade was well equipped and had many people, so it should be the main attacker.

After a quarrel, no one gave in, Liang Hongen and Xi Mu again: "I think so, there is no main attack and assist, we attack together, attack on three sides, and take Niuhang Station in one fell swoop, isn't it just a regiment, our strength is ten times that of him, and it is difficult for them to take care of it when they attack together." ”

Peng Dequan immediately expressed his approval, and Yang Genghe then also agreed, everyone contributed the same capital, and no one suffered.

Soon they were attacking the cattle station, gentle as a sympathetic hand touching your chest.

Yang Genghe, Peng Dequan, and Liang Hongen decided at the meeting that each family should send a regiment, but in the course of implementation, the number was greatly reduced, Yang Genghe only sent a company, Liang Hongen did the same, and only one company was released.

This little force wants to tear apart the defense line of Niuhang Station, which must be even more than Zhao Benshan.

At the beginning of the offensive, the momentum was still quite large, the shells were whistling down, creating craters on the position, and the artillery of the first division wanted to counterattack, but was stopped by Zhuang Jihua, who did not want to use artillery now.

After the shelling, the enemy's infantry began to attack, Zhuang Jihua was very surprised, the enemy in the telescope was very careful, the advance speed was very slow, and he began to release his guns from afar. The front-line soldiers of the defenders lay in the trenches, quietly waiting for the enemy to approach.

"Fuck, turtle crawling, why is it so slow?" Song Xiongfu saw the appearance of the enemy from the telescope and couldn't help but scold. His telescope is Jiaoqiao's trophy.

"Smack." Song Xiongfu was scolding, when he suddenly heard a gunshot from the position, and it turned out that a soldier couldn't help but let go of a shot, "Who is shooting?" No shooting! Song Xiongfu was furious, the rule of the first battalion was to put the enemy within 100 meters before shooting, this soldier was a new soldier, a supplementary prisoner soldier, seeing that the enemy had advanced to a distance of four or five hundred meters, he couldn't help but let go of a shot.

Something happened to Song Xiongfu's surprise, and with this gunshot, the enemy on the opposite side all lay on the ground, no longer squirming to this side.

Song Xiongfu was surprised, and Zhuang Jihua was also very strange, unable to figure out what the enemy was going to do.

"Order all fire points, hide well, and easily do not fire." Zhuang Jihua arranged some light and dark firepower inside and outside the station, and he judged that the enemy was coming at these firepower.

However, this judgment was wrong, when the enemy advanced to about one hundred and fifty meters, Song Xiongfu couldn't help it, and asked a few sharpshooters to shoot a few shots to try, these sharpshooters were not ambiguous, one knocked down the other, and then the enemy retreated, and Song Xiongfu didn't even put a machine gun.

"That's it?!" Song Xiongfu regretted this, he would have known that he would not have fired those shots.

"What are they trying to do? Test? It's not like that. Xue Yue asked Zhuang Jihua puzzled, and Zhuang Jihua also shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

Actually, this is easy to explain, because the soldiers don't want to fight, they have resentment in their hearts.

What does it mean to take Nanchang for three days? It means that each soldier gets at least a month's salary, even if they are unlucky, it should be no problem to get two bottles of wine, but now they can only watch other brothers enjoy themselves in Nanchang City, but they come to attack Niuhang Station, what is there at the station? The railroad tracks, the locomotives, and the abandoned carriages, compared to the city, this is a barren land, and if you can find a hundred oceans, you can count your ancestors in the right place to bury them.
