Lin Fengxiang stood up and looked at Chen Yucheng, Tan Shaoguang, and the division commanders of the Red First Army and various independent divisions, "This time the attack on Fuzhou is different from the fight against Hangzhou, it takes three fast, the first is to go fast, the teaching brigade is the vanguard, and Chen Yucheng leads the divisions of the Red First Army to follow up in three ways." Don't get entangled with any enemies along the way, and leave those who try to resist to the independent division I lead behind. Second, it is necessary to encircle it quickly, let go of the east and ignore it, and quickly surround Fuzhou on three sides. The third is to attack quickly, and when the Qing demon has not had time to fully react, he will hit and rush violently, and break the city as much as possible. I've been training for more than half a year, and this time it's time to see everyone's strength. ”

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lin's three fast and one fierce instructions are good." Lin Haifeng followed Lin Fengxiang's words, looked at Chen Yucheng and said, "Our first task is to annihilate the living force of the Qing army, and after breaking the city, we must embody this fierce word, and we must chase the enemy." Yucheng, as the commander of the front line, you also tell me what you think. ”

In order to strengthen the overall combat effectiveness and soldiers of the Zeng Shuiyuan and Qin Rigang armies, and also to strengthen their own mobility capabilities, in the course of this reorganization, the original two infantry divisions of the Red First Army, the Red Fourth Division, the Red Fifth Division, and the Artillery Division, were respectively incorporated into the structure of the Zeng and Qin armies. At present, the 1st Red Army retains only three cavalry divisions, a subordinate artillery regiment equipped with 45 light mortars, and various subordinate detachments, which is a complete cavalry corps. Lin Fengxiang, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, also served as the commander of the Red First Army. Due to the departure of the former deputy commander Li Kaifang, Chen Yucheng was promoted to the deputy commander of the Red First Army.

Seeing King An smiling at him, Chen Yucheng stood up, "Although this is a long-distance attack, but with His Royal Highness acting with us, we will have more backbone and win Fuzhou." He smiled confidently and walked to the large map hanging on the wall, "According to the information provided by the Intelligence Department of the headquarters, and our reconnaissance of Fuzhou and other places a while ago, Fuzhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in fact, it also happens to create a good opportunity for us to fight for the annihilation of all the defenders in the city." I want to send a regiment here in the west of the city to seize the Hongshan Bridge, go around to the south of the city, and control these peaks to prevent the final retreat of the Qing army. In the west of the city, I plan to send only one unit to monitor and confuse the Qing army, so that it does not dare to flee, and concentrates its main force in the north of the city. The terrain here is mostly mountainous, which is conducive to the defense of the Qing army, but it is precisely its weak point. As long as the Pingshan veins were taken, Fuzhou would be completely covered by our army's artillery fire, and the Qing army would lose the will to resist. As long as the Qing army escapes, there is the Min River in the south and the sea in the east, and we will chase after it as His Royal Highness and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lin said, then the Qing army will only have two roads, one is to surrender, and the other is to go down to the river and the sea to feed the fish and turtles. ”

"Yes, the key to this operation lies in its suddenness, which cannot give the Qing army a chance to retreat in an organized manner, which is also a test for our soldiers and soldiers. There is no time for rest and adjustment, and the troops must immediately enter the battle as soon as they arrive in the city, and it is very important to organize and mobilize in advance. Lin Haifeng smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everyone has already held back their strength, and they are looking forward to a big battle." Chen Yucheng straightened his chest.

"There is another question, what if there is a Qing army attack behind you, that is, in the direction of Ningde, Nanping, and Sanming? Of course, the Red Second Army and the Red Third Army will try not to let this situation happen, but this accident is inevitable. Lin Haifeng asked again.

Chen Yucheng replied happily, "Due to the special situation, after arriving in Fuzhou, all the siege troops will keep their own part to protect each other against possible harassment and sneak attacks by the enemy behind them. ”

"Okay, as a last resort, the headquarters communication regiment and the guard regiment will accept your command." Lin Haifeng smiled with satisfaction.

After occupying Yichang and Jingzhou and purging the Qing army of local recalcitrants entrenched along the Yangtze River, the Western Expeditionary Army immediately carried out a three-month rest and recuperation in order to fully digest the territory occupied. At the same time, Shi Dakai personally sat in Jingzhou and took advantage of this opportunity to reorganize his subordinate units into a new military system and organize 12 armies from the first to the 12th. Although they are still called by the official positions of military commander, division commander, brigade commander, etc., today's "commanders" are no longer compared with each other, and their strength has greatly increased. A fully manned army is no longer the three or two thousand people in the past, but a huge contingent of more than 20,000 people, which can stand alone.

In the following months, Shi Dakai personally commanded his troops to attack southern Hunan, and with the cooperation of anti-Qing forces in various places, he attacked the city and plundered the land, cleared out the stubborn land, and swept away. At this point, the entire territory of Hunan has been returned to the territory of the Celestial Empire, and the power of the Celestial Army has spread to northern Guangxi.

Just when the old brothers from Guangxi were gathering enough strength and happily preparing to go back to their hometown, Shi Dakai turned his troops and entered Jiangxi after stabilizing the defense of southern Hunan.

Under the command of Hu Yihuang and veteran Zeng Tianyang, the three armies in Jiangxi also began to develop southward while consolidating northern Jiangxi and coordinating with the left and right armies to fight. At this time, Hu Yihuang's already sick body became more and more difficult to adapt to the bumps on the battlefield, and the sharp edge of the Jiangxi Heavenly Army curled the edge.

Zeng Tianyang's first 10th army, which was the western route, arrived at the foot of Ji'an as originally planned, built a camp, and waited for the eastern army to attack Ji'an. Unfortunately, the friendly troops he was waiting for did not arrive, but reinforcements from Ganzhou and other places in the Manchu Qing Dynasty came one after another. Under the internal and external attacks of the Qing army, the heavenly army could not get the slightest advantage. The rushing and killing of you and me in the past day induced the fire of the veteran Zeng Tianyang.

Zeng Tianyang did not take a proper retreat and temporarily avoid the opponent's edge, but after a whole day of fierce fighting, he took advantage of the night to personally lead the team to attack the camp of the Qing demon reinforcements. He pinned his hopes on a sneak attack to break the deadlock on the battlefield so that he could continue to wait for Hu Yihuang's arrival.

Maybe it's a providence, but it's the Qing army that is also taking the same action. The two armies, who were both hoping that they would succeed in a sneak attack, met in the thick of the night, and almost passed by. Suddenly, the two armies, like two snakes, were tightly entwined, and there was not even the usual hysterical roar, everyone was smothered and gritted their teeth to fight, only the sonorous sound of metal clashing, and the occasional wail broke the silence of the night.

Zeng Tian is old, but on the battlefield he is like a tiger descending from the mountain, stepping off the horse, a spear in his hand dancing in the wind, blocking the invincible, with the spirit of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide back then. When he is old and strong, he is an old hero, it must be right to describe him like this. It's a pity that he forgot his responsibility. As more and more Qing troops entered the battle group, the Celestial Army was also joining this melee one after another, and if he hadn't been knocked off his horse by a cold fire, he would definitely not have ordered to take half a step back.

The Celestial soldiers snatched back their commander and fought and retreated. The Qing army got a little cheap, but it didn't take it when it was good. As a result, the deadlock that Zeng Tianyang hoped to break was broken, and the end was that the Heavenly Army was forced to abandon the camp and retreat to the front line of Yichun and Pingxiang to rest.

Hu Yihuang, who sent troops from Fuzhou and delayed his trip due to the sudden aggravation of his illness, learned halfway that Zeng Tianyang's Ji'an had been frustrated and that the old general Zeng was seriously injured, so he had to temporarily give up the plan to capture Ji'an, and the armies turned to defense.

Even if there is no series of emergencies in Jiangxi, Shi Dakai is also ready to take down the entire Jiangxi first, and then plan for the future. According to the strategy agreed upon by him and Lin Haifeng, it was to connect the two major theaters of war in the east and west, attack from two sides, and take the capture of Guangdong as the first priority. It was at this moment when the Qing army in Guangxi was panicked and the Qing army in Jiangxi high-fived each other, that the three main forces led by Shi Dakai left Binzhou and suddenly appeared under the city of Ganzhou.
