If someone could now look down on the earth in a panoramic way through the dark night sky, anyone would have such a heroic momentum like Zeng Guofan at this time.

Just around them, who seemed to be leisurely, the scene of river control that had been lively for several months had already turned into another scene. Behind the camouflaged banks of the river and the high embankments, there are rows of large and small wooden boats, and thick walls of Red officers and soldiers, boatmen, almost in a line, stretching out endlessly on both sides......

Dongming, after Lin Qirong, the commander of the Red Ninth Army, checked the water level again, got down the embankment, and among the Red Army soldiers who were in the middle of a group of people who were holding boats and waiting for the decisive moment to arrive, they would immediately lift them and rush to the river, crossing the wide river in front of him, he saw Qiu Renli, who had only been in Jinan a few months ago.

Qiu Renli now leads a company of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and in this company, more than eighty percent of the officers and soldiers are his former subordinates. Not long after being reorganized into the Red Army, he caught up with such a big battle, or as a front-line commando, Qiu Renli couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his excitement. He tirelessly admonished several squad and platoon leaders, for fear that there would be a slight mistake.

"Company Commander Qiu, don't be too nervous, there is still a while before the start of the war, tell everyone to relax and relax." Lin Qirong smiled and patted Qiu Renli's shoulder.

"We are just afraid that if we delay a little time, we will delay a good fighter plane for the brigade behind." Qiu Renli looked at the commander embarrassedly and smiled.

"Hehe, your division is the vanguard of the whole army to open the way, and our army is the vanguard of the right wing of the entire front army, and the task is glorious and arduous, it is to be foolproof and overcome the first battle." Lin Qirong nodded and looked at the soldiers around him, "However, everyone must also see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the coercion of the Tsarist ghosts, finally abandoned the choice of peace and turned its back on the wishes of the vast number of fathers and brothers in the world. Even if we are opposite the Tsarist devils armed to the teeth, it is only a piece of meat in our mouths. Brothers, nourish your spirits, and when the time comes, you can taste the flesh of these foreigners whether it is fat or not? ”

Among the soldiers. There was a slight laugh......

On the bank of the Yellow River outside Kaifeng, Ren Huabang, deputy commander of the 32nd Red Army, who was about to command the front-line troops to leap over the Yellow River moat, looked at the fleet disguised by himself as a bush and the high fighting spirit of the officers and men.

The original guerrilla column has now become a regular army, with more people and horses, and its power is stronger, but it has been classified into the sequence of the Red Second Front.

He had long heard that among the Tsarist Russian devils opposite the Red Third Front Army, there was a Cossack horse team of nearly six or seven thousand that was invincible in the world, and he, a great master who could fly freely on horseback, was always looking forward to the opportunity to try the depth of the water of this "invincible horse team in the world". There is no such opportunity now.

"Deputy Army Commander, Chief of Staff Gong is waiting for you." Gong Deshu, chief of staff of the front army, and his bodyguards ran over quickly and whispered.

Ren Huabang stood up from the "bushes" and waved vigorously at the several battalion commanders beside him, "Prepare well according to the requirements, don't give me a mistake at the last moment." ”

Behind the embankment, there was no light, and in the moonlight, you could see everywhere the officers and soldiers waiting to board the boat.

Seeing Ren Huabang walking over as if he owed him a few dollars, Gong Deshu smiled, "You guy, are you still looking for something awkward with yourself?" ”

"Where is it that I am willing to find awkwardness," Ren Huabang spat on the ground, pointing at the soldiers around him, "Look at how high the spirit of our brothers is." Kill foreigners and don't let us pull them down, there is finally a dead ghost of Li Hongzhang on the other side. How do you know that this is going to be fought, but he also ran away, thinking about the rabble on the other side, alas, this battle is not interesting. ”

Gong Deshu shook his head, "Brother, if you still think so, then I have to change Niu Hongsheng." Not to mention the seemingly calm river in front of you, which may not be obedient, even if you cross the river smoothly, it is not a herd of obedient sheep on the opposite side, but a man-eating tiger. ”

"Oh, my chief of staff, where are you?" Ren Huabang hurriedly put on an obedient smiling face, "Our luck is also with ourselves, it's not that you don't see this qiē in front of you, where do we dare to be negligent?" You can rest assured, we promise that when the time comes, we will not only be safe and secure, but also rush ahead of Mr. Zhang in Zhengzhou to take your old man across the river. Alas, nothing else can be compared, how can you compare with Zhang Zongyu's kid whose legs are longer. ”

"Don't play tricks with me, if something really goes wrong when the time comes, hum ......" Gong Deshu slapped the saber under his ribs, pretending to be fierce.

Luoyang Mengjin Ferry, the temporary headquarters of the Red Fourth Army's river-crossing front.

"Hehe, after so many years of fighting, but a big battle like tonight, thousands of miles from east to west, hundreds of thousands of troops, and dozens of river crossing points is about to start together, but this is the first time we have encountered it." Shi Xiangzhen used his telescope to look through the mist that had risen lightly on the Yellow River again, looked at the other side of the river that was as silent as death, and looked at Ye Yunlai beside him with a smile, "No matter which point you have to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is false to say that you are not nervous." ”

"Yes, it is indeed not an easy thing not only to break through the river, but also to eat Mianxun and Li Hongzhang, the two diehard forces that the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on for survival, in the next time." The thin and slender Ye Yunlai nodded.

Ye Yunlai and Pan Qiliang handed over the Red Eighth Army to Chen Tingxiang a month ago, and then, Pan Qiliang went to preside over the Red Seventh Army, while he came to Luoyang and took over the position of commander of the Red Fourth Army, the first main force of the Red Second Front Army.

"Hehe, the fog right now is both good and bad for us." Shi Xiangzhen put down the binoculars in his hand, took the water handed by Ye Yunlai, and took a sip, "This will increase the concealment of our river crossing, but once the fog is too big, the communication between the various departments after going ashore will inevitably be affected." ”

Ye Yunlai smiled. He was no stranger to the former "Lord Guozong" in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that this former No. 1 general of the Celestial Empire who didn't know what the word "fear" was, hadn't seen him for three years, and now he has become a mother-in-law.

"Mr. Shi rest assured, we have already prepared for this. Combined with the maps drawn up by the intelligence department of the front army after on-the-spot investigations, we also invited some local elders who were familiar with the situation in various places on the opposite side to give many explanations to the generals at and above the battalion and regimental level of the whole army. In addition, we conducted a multi-day exercise on the communication and identification numbers between the various units in advance, and in order to ensure that each battalion and regiment and each company of the advance guard division were assigned special guides before the war. Don't say it's fog, it's just that the sky is falling, and the officers and men of our army will never go the wrong way. ”

"Hehe, good, good ......" Shi Xiangzhen looked at Ye Yunlai with satisfaction and nodded. It is said that soldiers are accustomed to being warlords, lest others step into their own territory, let alone put their hands in their arms. But in Shi Xiangzhen, he couldn't see this.
