The moonlit night is sparse, the moonlight is cold, the battlefield is full of residual fire, the soldiers are tired and resting everywhere, Zhuang Jihua looked around along the station before returning to the headquarters.

Xue Yue sat sullenly in the headquarters and smoked one cigarette after another, his mood was very bad, it had been ten days, and the peripheral troops had not been able to complete the encirclement.

"Cultural Revolution, what next?" Seeing Zhuang Jihua coming back, Xue Yue hurriedly greeted him as if he had found the backbone of the main body.

"What else can I do, let's keep fighting." Zhuang Jihua threw his hat on the table, loosened the scenery button, and sat on the chair with all fours: "Why do you have any way?" ”

"What the hell are they doing? Why haven't you come up yet? Xue Yue said anxiously, throwing the cigarette on the ground: "It's really not good, Lao Tzu led the troops to break through." ”

"Captain Xue, your idea is wrong." Zhuang Jihua felt that his emotions were wrong: "Our task is to stick here, we can't give up the mission because of great losses, and the soldiers' performance of the mission can't be discounted, you should know this." ”

"I know!" Xue Yue was extremely anxious: "I can't figure it out, we have been guarding for ten days, and the troops have suffered casualties, but they are still grinding against something, Zheng Junyan has more than 20,000 troops, we have more than 10,000 people, they have tens of thousands of troops, why can't they fight!" ”

The more Xue Yue spoke, the more excited he became, with tears in his eyes, walking back and forth in the room, and said bitterly: "My three regiments, what a good regiment!" As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the table.

Zhuang Jihua was silent, Xue Yue felt sorry for his third regiment, but he felt sorry for his first division, he was completely aware of his status among the officers and soldiers of the first division, the first division was not Wang Bailing's first division at all, but his first division.

"Our soldiers are all good, Boling, as long as we complete the task, we can rebuild the first division, and those who survive are the seeds of the new division, and after these seeds blossom and sprout, the new division will be stronger!"

Zhuang Jihua stood up and waved his fist with a firm expression, Xue Yue looked at him and nodded slowly. Zhuang Jihua looked at him and suddenly remembered something, took out a notebook from the file bag and handed it to Xue Yue: "This is some of the experience I have taken the time to summarize, it is incomplete, you have time to take a look, add it," Xue Yue took the notebook suspiciously, opened it and read it carefully, it was a summary of some tactics, as well as suggestions for improvement.

"In this battle, we exposed some weaknesses, both defensive and offensive, especially in defense, our defensive firepower and" Zhuang Jihua was saying, and a report came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Jihua's words were interrupted, he was a little unhappy, and he didn't let the reporter in, but asked directly.

"Battalion Commander Yu is back."

"What did you say?" Zhuang Jihua was greatly surprised, the position of the second battalion was broken through, and all the people who were alive retreated to the station, according to their report, after the right wing was broken through, Yu Chengwan brought a few people to support the right wing, but no one from the right wing returned.

"Where is he?" Zhuang Jihua stepped out of the house in a few steps.

saw a few soldiers holding a person in the dark, covered in blood and muddy water, Zhuang Jihua took a closer look through the light, and sure enough, it was Yu Chengwan, but he was already unconscious, and blood was still gushing from the place where his body was bandaged indiscriminately.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and get to the medical center." Zhuang Jihua said anxiously.

After Yu Chengwan found that the front also collapsed, he retreated with people, but they couldn't run through the short distance of a few tens of meters, the enemy's bullets caught up with them, they all fell, Yu Chengwan was also shot twice, the enemy did not check the body in the madness, Yu Chengwan was lucky to escape, he woke up in the middle of the night, and then crawled back.

Chiang Kai-shek rushed to the foot of Lu Diping's western mountain in the early morning, he did not go to Lu Diping's headquarters first, but went directly to the second division, and immediately summoned Liu Zhi and other officers above the regiment commander to give a lecture.

"I am here today because of the poor implementation of the plan of the headquarters, because of your slow action, the first division has dragged more than 10,000 people of Zheng Junyan in Niuxing, they have been holding out for ten days under the siege of several times the enemy, they have played the prestige of our party army, they have done their best. Now it's up to you, our party army has always been the backbone of the revolution, but since the Northern Expedition, except for the first division, no other troops have achieved convincing results. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said and swept his eyes downward, and suddenly asked in a loud voice: "Hu Zongnan, do you have the confidence to act as a striker and rush into the Niuhang Station?" ”

Hu Zongnan took a step forward in his military uniform and replied loudly: "The student is willing to be the forward, and if he can't rush into the Niuhang station tomorrow, the student is willing to come to see him." ”

"Well, it's good to have that kind of confidence." Chiang Kai-shek nodded sternly, and then said warmly: "You are an old subordinate of the Cultural Revolution, your regiment was also brought out by the Cultural Revolution, and the combat effectiveness is also one of the best, you and the Cultural Revolution are also good friends, he is now very difficult, in ten days, they have eliminated seven or eight thousand enemies, and more than three thousand people are only more than six hundred." Xiong Shouyun, Song Xiongfu, Yu Chengwan and others were all killed. ”

The officers of the Second Division, including Liu Zhi, were shocked, this was the first time they knew about the situation at Niuhang Station, tens of thousands of enemy troops had actually been wiped out by seven or eight thousand people, and the combat effectiveness of this division was too terrifying.

"Tomorrow you must open the passage and rush to the Niuhang Station to prove that you are the same as the 1st Division of our Northern Expedition. Did you hear me clearly? Chiang Kai-shek ignored the looks of the officers below him, and loudly announced his decision.

"Yes, resolutely complete the task and never disappoint the principal's expectations!"

Liu Zhi, Hu Zongnan and others replied solemnly, they knew that Chiang Kai-shek had given them a chance to wash away the shame of Wuchang City.

While Chiang Kai-shek was trying his best to plan to relieve Zhuang Jihua's siege, Zheng Junyan was holding Sun Chuanfang's telegram and almost cried, De'an was lost, Sun Chuanfang ordered Li Junyi to be transferred to Lu Xiangting's command and recapture De'an, Lu Xiangting ordered Li Junyi to return north to Lehua and get on the bus.

Zheng Junyan hurriedly telegraphed Sun Chuanfang to ask for Li Junyi's troops to stay, and this army was needed to conquer Niuxing, but no matter what Zheng Junyan said, Sun Chuanfang just didn't agree, Li Zongren's Seventh Army was strong, Xie Hongxun's 20,000 people were swallowed by his scum, and Lu Xiangting now only had more than 10,000 people, how to attack De'an.

Zheng Junyan's bitter pleading made Sun Chuanfang extremely angry, "Zheng Junyan, after Li Junyi's troops left, you are now injured and have three brigades, nearly 5,000 people, and the Niu Xing garrison is only more than 1,000 people, five times the strength, you still can't take Niu Xing, you don't have a shame, I Sun Chuanfang still wants it, if you really can't do it, I will change people!! ”

Three more exclamation points, Zheng Junyan received the telegram and was ashamed and ashamed, there was no way, so he had to invite all the brigade commanders and show Sun Chuanfang's telegram to the four people, and the four people all looked different after reading it, but they didn't say anything.

What else can I say, Sun Chuanfang said everything about this, Peng Dequan and the three of them didn't open their mouths, they just stared at the desktop in front of them. Li Junyi was a little unwilling to leave like this, today he accompanied nearly two regiments in a day, and now he saw that the first division was about to arrive, which made him very unwilling.

"Alas, Commander Zheng, I didn't know before I came to Niu Xing, and I used to laugh at you in secret, but after I came, I realized that the enemy army in Niu Xing is indeed stubborn, just half a day's effort, our casualties are nearly 2,000 people, and I don't know how many are left, I will go away, and you will have to suffer again." Li Junyi said with a fake sigh.

Yang Genghe pursed the corners of his mouth, he understood Li Junyi's thoughts, if he wanted to change the past, he would definitely sneer at him, but now the situation is stronger than people, his troops are now only more than a thousand people, and the last attack is enough to reimburse a battalion, the troops are already frightened, and he can't say hard words.

Liang Hongen and Yang Geng are much the same, the scene of the guard battalion fleeing in embarrassment is still shaking in front of his eyes, and he doesn't want to fight at all now.

Peng Dequan was secretly happy in his heart, Li Junyi was leaving, and he was the only one left who could attack the cattle shop, and the first breed master was in hand.

"Commander, don't worry, the enemies in the Niuhang Station are almost over, and we can completely destroy them tomorrow if we work harder." Peng Dequan stood up and patted his chest and reassured.

Li Junyi was furious in his heart, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu ran for more than 100 miles, could it be that he was adding bricks and tiles to your dog's words, he said coldly: "Brigade Commander Peng is so heroic, the remaining enemies in the station are so easy to fight?" ”

"Kill three thousand, self-loss eight hundred, we have a big loss, his Zhuang Jihua's loss is small? He is now at most four or five hundred people, and the three of us together are four thousand smaller, ten times the strength of the army, and there is no problem in eating him. Peng Dequan said in a big way: "Of course, my brother has worked hard, Xin Shuai will naturally not hesitate to reward, the first division is not successful, and the second division is still no problem." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for Brigade Commander Peng's Jieyin, and I wish Brigade Commander Peng the promotion to the commander of the First Division." Li Junyi's face was flushed with anger, he snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left.

Zheng Junyan looked at Li Junyi's back blankly, he couldn't keep it, Sun Chuanfang was really angry, but without Li Junyi's new force, he really didn't have confidence.

Peng Dequan also saw Zheng Junyan's concerns, and he persuaded: "Commander, tomorrow, we will fight like this, let go of the west, I will attack the front, and Brigade Commander Liang and Brigade Commander Yang will attack the east, so that they will definitely escape from the west, and Niuxing will be recovered." ”

Don't look at Peng Dequan looks very rough, but his idea is really not bad, Zheng Junyan thought about it and rushed to this is probably the only way, raised his eyes to look at Liang Hongen and Yang Genghe, and saw that they also showed a look of approval, so he said helplessly: "Okay, that's it, but tomorrow we must capture Niuhang Station, Fengcheng has been lost, Zhu Peide will be able to reach the east bank of the Ganjiang River tomorrow, Jiang Zhenchen can't support it in Jinxian, if we can't capture the station tomorrow, we can only retreat to Nanchang or go north to Yongxiu." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't know that Zheng Junyan was ready to give him a way out, he thought hard for a long time, and had no good plan, so he could only fight hard.
