Hu Zongnan said: "Their troop deployment is a bit strange, Guan Linzheng's department is lone and prominent, I think so, we will eat Guan Linzheng first, and then press towards the ferry, seize the pontoon bridge with a force, if we can take it, break through Liedeyong, and then turn to Slender Dog Ridge." ”

Li Zhilong shook his head: "When we take down the stone plaque, I'm sure the ferry defenders will retreat to the opposite bank of Liede Chung and burn the pontoon bridge." ”

Jiang Xianyun frowned and said, "Can we take the stone plaque?" The purpose of the enemy's pontoon bridge is to facilitate reinforcements when the stone tablets are attacked. We have only half of their whole army, and when we attack, the enemy will definitely reinforce us, and if then we will be in stone with the enemy. ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at the map suspiciously, pointed to the area of the grotto village between the northwest of Shipai and Liedeyong, and asked, "Chen Geng, is there any enemy in this area?" ”

"No, we've been, otherwise we wouldn't have come back so late."

"That's weird. It's a death-hunting deployment. The troops are arranged in a line, the two wings lack cover, if we take the ferry, then Guan Linzheng will be surrounded in Shipai, he has 200 people, how long can he hold out, at most half a day. Why did Chief of Staff Zhu choose such a deployment? It won't be let's do it. ”

They looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Can we take the ferry?" Hu Zongnan had some questions.

"Absolutely, they don't have enough strength to form a dense defensive line, and we have a chance to cut through the gaps in the opponent's defensive line." Zhuang Jihua said with confidence.

Jiang Xianyun also felt something was wrong when he heard Zhuang Jihua say this, so he asked Chen Geng: "When you came over, what were Guan Linzheng doing?" ”

"Repairing fortifications, repairing at both ends."

"What about the village?"

"It's also being repaired, but we're just looking at the avenue."

Everyone was silent, Zhuang Jihua looked at the map, and still didn't understand. Hu Zongnan looked at the flag representing the enemy army on almost one line, and then looked at the top and bottom of this line and said: "Don't care about these things for now, time waits for no one, let's make combat arrangements according to this situation first." ”

Although there are doubts, there is no other way.

Li Zhilong pointed with his big hand: "I suggest taking Shigang first, and then concentrating the main force from three sides to defeat Guan Linzheng in one fell swoop." ”

Hu Zongnan first expressed his support, but Chen Geng did not do it: "Shigang and Shipai are horns of each other, and they can support each other, and attacking Shigang will become Shigang Stonepai to attack together." ”

"Yes, Shigang is only about 800 meters away from Shipai, we launched an attack on Shigang, and it is impossible for Guan Linzheng of Shipai to have no action, so attacking Shigang has become a battle with the whole army of Guan Linzheng." Jiang Xianyun expressed his support for Chen Geng.

"I have a proposal not to play stone." Jiang Xianyun looked at everyone, and then said: "We used a force to contain the Shipai Guan Linzheng, but the main force bypassed the Shipai and directly attacked the ferry, and the force of the ferry was only one platoon, which could be easily taken." ”

"In this way, Guan Linzheng has no choice but to return to the ferry, and we can defeat him on the way." Zhuang Jihua said.

"Yes." Jiang Xianyun looked at Zhuang Jihua and smiled slightly, and Zhuang Jihua nodded at him.

"What if we attack the ferry and Guan Linzheng comes to support from behind? And what about reinforcements on the other side? ”

"Then fight Guan Linzheng first, our strength is more than twice that of Guan Linzheng, use a company to attack the stone pai, and the rest of the troops will sneak attack the ferry, put a platoon in front of the ferry to block Guan Linzheng, if Guan Linzheng comes too much, the stone card can't be defended, and after taking the stone card, he will immediately pursue, he will be attacked from both sides; With fewer Guan Lin recruits, it will be impossible to break through the blocking line before we take the ferry. Jiang Xianyun said confidently: "As for the reinforcements on the other side, there is nothing, how many enemies can there be on the other side, there will not be more than one company, if they cross the river to reinforce, then we will annihilate them on the east bank, and take the pontoon bridge by the way." So I think the West Bank is more likely to fight to meet the defenders of the East Bank and retreat to the West Bank. ”

"Then what about after the annihilation of Guan Linzheng? The pontoon bridge must have been burned, how did we cross the river. Li Zhilong asked.

"This..."Jiang Xianyun didn't think about it for a while.

"There is a way, we can borrow the boat of the fellow." Song Xilian said.

"It's all small boats, how many people can they carry? How many trips do I have to make to get all the people there? Hu Zongnan asked suspiciously.

"There are big boats, I saw big boats on the river around the cave village, and they can carry at least twenty people at a time." Song Xilian said.

"How many such ships are there?" Li Zhilong asked with some excitement.

"Five or six, I didn't count them."

"That's right, you can pass about a hundred people at that time, and you can transport us all over in four times." Hu Zongnan was also very happy.

When the ship's problem was solved, everyone was very excited, and the ensuing opinions were quickly unified. The final serious operational orders were: 1. Zhuang Jihua led his own team and two detachments of Song Xilian and Li Zhilong to contain the enemy forces in Shipai and Shigang, and Jiang Xianyun led the rest of the troops to bypass Shipai and attack the ferry.

2. Jiang Xianyun's troops must occupy the ferry as soon as possible, and if they can capture the pontoon bridge completely, they will send no less than two detachments to defend the west bank of the ferry, and the main force will still be placed on the east bank.

3. Jiang Xianyun's troops were seizing the ferry, and the main force turned to Huangshawei and took action according to the movements of the enemy's Guan Lin Zheng troops.

4. If the Guan Lin Expedition Department comes to the aid of the ferry, Zhuang Jihua's Department must take Shipai as soon as possible, and then launch a pursuit of the Customs Department, and cooperate with Jiang Xianyun's Department to annihilate the Customs Department on the line from the ferry to the Shipai.

5. After the annihilation of the Guan Division, Fan Hanjie's Department and Li Zhilong's Department stayed at the ferry and monitored the movement of the enemy troops downstream of Liedeyong.

6. The rest of the departments turned to the cave village, collected ferries, smuggled into Hunter Deyong, and if the smuggling failed, it was changed to forced crossing.

7. After crossing Liedeyong, Jiang Xianyun led Chen Geng's Song Xilian to attack the ferry, and Fan and Li crossed the river, and Zhuang Jihua led the rest of the troops to form a defensive line on the front line of Qicun to block the enemy's reinforcements.

8. After completing the above tasks, we will annihilate 200 people of the enemy's Guan Lin Expedition Department and more than 100 defenders of the ferry. At this time, the enemy's strength is about 500, and the number of people still exceeds that of our army, but our army's training and equipment are stronger than the enemy's, and the strength of both sides will change from being strong and weak to equal between us and the enemy.

9. According to the current situation of the enemy on the west bank of Liedeyong, the command decided that after destroying the enemy troops at the ferry and crossing the river with Fan and Li's troops, the troops would divide their troops into two routes, and Chen Geng would lead Li Zhilong's main force to camouflage the main force along the villages, Tianhe, and Zhanyi villages to launch an attack from the west side of the Slender Dog Ridge, with the aim of attracting the attention of the enemy.

10. Jiang Xianyun led the rest of the troops to attack from the east side of Shougou Ridge through Qicun, Tianhe, Yuexiu, and Yanling.

11. The time of the operation was launched, 1 a.m. on November 29.

The staff officers of the military academy who attended the combat meeting as observers wrote down in the record book: Jiang Xianyun, the chief planner of the Liedechong East Bank Combat Plan; Hu Zongnan, the chief planner of the West Bank Operational Plan. Then the minutes of the meeting were handed over to the director's office along with the combat orders.

Due to the regulations of the acting rules, although they were in the same village, the director department located in the Pak Tai Temple did not interfere with their actions even if they were in a hurry.

Chiang Kai-shek also accompanied the Soviet adviser Gallen on a tour of the Beidi Temple, which the villagers said was built during the Tang Tianbao period, but according to Wang Bailing, who was deeply involved in religion, it was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and his statement was resolutely opposed by Pan Wenzhi, who accompanied him.

Zhucun is Pan Wenzhi's hometown, and the Whampoa Military Academy often goes to Zhucun to practice because of Pan Wenzhi, the Pan family is the Zhucun family, and the Pan family's words are more effective than the orders of the Generalissimo's Mansion on this one-third of an acre. Pan Wenzhi is the commander of the naval training fleet, when the Whampoa Military Academy was built, Sun Yat-sen originally intended to build a Whampoa Naval School, but due to the lack of instructors and equipment and other reasons, the naval school was not completed in the end, Pan Wenzhi became the commander of the Humen Fortress, but recently he resigned, because he wanted to go home to develop the peasant association.

Chiang Kai-shek and Pan Wenzhi's friendship began with Chen Jiongming's rebellion, when Chiang Kai-shek was from Shanghai thousands of miles to the difficulty, Pan Wenzhi was a naval general, always fighting by Sun Yat-sen's side, the two have admired each other since then, Pan admired Chiang's courage to go thousands of miles to difficulties, Chiang Kai-shek was very appreciative of Pan Wenzhi's consistency, and the friendship between the two became more and more stable over the years.

When Chiang Kai-shek was looking for a training place for the Whampoa students, the first thing he thought of was Pan Wenzhi in Zhucun, so he specially wrote to Pan Wenzhi and asked him to come forward to guide him; Of course, Pan Wenzhi agreed without hesitation, and soon returned to Zhu Village from Humen to explain to the villagers and the Pan clan, of course, with Pan Wenzhi's status in Zhu Village and the Pan clan, there was naturally no problem. Chiang Kai-shek was very grateful for this, and in return, Chiang Kai-shek emphasized discipline in each drill, and compensated for anything damaged, and at the same time asked the students to help the villagers do farm work in their free time, which made Zhuang Jihua a little puzzled, in his previous life, it seemed that only the communist army did this, but since then, the villagers who were a little skeptical have also begun to sincerely support the actions of the Whampoa students, and the relationship between the military and the people has become more and more harmonious.

Wang Bailing's research made Pan Wenzhi very angry, it was obviously the Tang Dynasty, and it was hard to be verified as the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the two of them were arguing in the main hall for hundreds of years, of course, Wang Bailing was not an opponent, just like Pan Wenzhi said, Wang Bailing is an expert in Buddhism, and the Zhenwu Emperor enshrined in the Beidi Temple is Taoism, Buddhism and Taoism are incompatible, and it is intended to devalue the historical value of the Beidi Temple.

Director Zhou also thought that Wang Bailing was too deceitful, and a Buddhist disciple actually hit the Zhenwu Hall and denied the Zhenwu Emperor in front of the Zhenwu Emperor, and really regarded my Taoist disciple as nothing. Director Zhou's words made everyone laugh, and an entanglement was invisibly resolved.

The headquarters is located in the wing room of the side hall of the Beidi Temple, which makes the Taoist priest in the temple very grateful, Chiang Kai-shek When they came back, there were two more baskets of powder fruit on the table, and Chiang Kai-shek knew that Mrs. Pan had come, so he said to Pan Wenzhi: "Every time I come to Zhu Village, I have to trouble my sister-in-law, I really don't want to go." Pan Wenzhi smiled: "My wife can handle this." General Gallen and Director Zhou are probably the first time to come to Zhucun to try my old woman's craftsmanship. ”

Wang Bailing said on the side: "Director Zhou may have eaten powder fruit in Guangzhou, but the flavor of powder fruit made by Mrs. Pan is unique, and you will never be able to eat it in Guangzhou City." ”

Hearing them say this, Director Zhou noticed that sure enough, this powder fruit is very different from the one in Guangzhou City, the powder fruit on the plate looks a little like the dumplings in the north, the skin is thinner and smaller than the dumplings, and the color of the filling cannot be wrapped, and the filling does not know what it is, and there are three main colors that can be seen: green, red and yellow. The whole fruit is crystal clear, verdant and appetizing. Director Zhou couldn't help but pick up one, carefully bite open a corner, suck out the oil inside, and then put the whole fruit into his mouth to chew. Gallen was embarrassed to burst out of Russian, and everyone just smiled and didn't care, Chiang Kai-shek said: "General, you can't do this, you have to eat this kind of powdered fruit like this." With that, he picked up a fruit and showed it to Gallon.

Gallen's face was full of admiration: "Vadalisi Jiang, you Chinese are amazing, such a small thing can be made so beautiful, so complicated, incredible, incredible." ”

"We are the ancestors of the world in terms of eating, but I still prefer it to be simpler, and we will spend our minds on this, Brother Wenzhi, this is not about you. If we had been thinking about developing science and technology in the same way, we would have become a world power long ago. Chiang Kai-shek said gloomily.

At this time, the staff officer came in to report that the battle plan of the Eastern Army had been delivered, and after speaking, he took out two pieces of paper from the folder and sent them to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek looked at it and handed it to He Yingqin: "It seems that they have been fooled." ”
