In the early morning of the 28th, Pingjiang, Hunan, Hemp Slope.

"Boom"

The loud sound shook the valley, frightening Lieutenant General Yang Bin, Major General Xia Jian, and a group of lieutenants in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and Yang Bin and Xia Jian looked at each other. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info quickly rushed out of the camouflage tent, stood on the high hill and looked at the smoke of the explosion on the edge of the stream diagonally below, and asked anxiously what was going on? Zhang Hao, the colonel of the mobile brigade beside him, had already rushed down the gentle slope, and said a few words nervously with the commander of the third regiment under his command halfway, Li Xuan turned around and ran back to Yang Bin and Xianjian, and reported ashamedly:

"The brothers of the engineer company of the third regiment practiced laying mines. A brother in the second platoon was blown up without following the regulations, and four brothers died, but fortunately, the technicians and instructors of the arsenal practiced at a distance in strict accordance with the regulations in advance, and the eight brothers in the second and third platoons were only slightly injured.

"Shut up! Still only slightly injured? Mouse, more than a dozen people were killed and wounded before the war, how many days have you been a brigade commander? This place is only twenty-six kilometers away from Pingjiang City, and only seven kilometers away from the enemy's peripheral troops, if the target is exposed and Ye Qishi escapes, Lao Tzu will definitely shoot you! Chief of Staff". Xia Jian raised his head and was extremely annoyed.

"To".

Chief of Staff Colonel Yang Libang walked up to Xia Jian in two steps and stood upright.

"Pass my order: remove Xia Wuming, the commander of the engineer company, from his post and demote him to a senior private, and the post of company commander will be temporarily held by Lieutenant Zhang Zhisheng, the deputy company commander; Mobile Brigade Commander Zhang Hao demerit once, deducted pay for three months, and further punishment at the end of this battle! In addition, Haosheng comforted the technicians and instructors of the army, don't make people uncomfortable Xia gave an ugly face, turned around and walked into the tent after giving the order, and Colonel Yang Libang agreed in a low voice. With a stiff face, he led the two military judges to the explosion site quickly.

Yang Yu stepped forward and patted Zhang Hao's arm with a look of regret, whispered a few words of comfort, and also got into the tent, seeing that Xia Jian was measuring the amount of the map on the makeshift table, very focused, it seemed that the explosion of the netizen had no effect on him at all, and he couldn't help but secretly praise Xia Jian for finally maturing.

Yang Cheng came to Xia Jian's side and explained in a low voice: "The mines carried in a hurry this time are used by our army's equipment, the brothers have a short learning time, and mistakes are inevitable, Xia Jian immediately retorted: "In the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang's army was able to skillfully use touch mines. How much more about us in a few hundred years? This time, the new mines that were managed to get back all had safety devices. The operation is simple and the burial is safe, and you will be able to see it at a glance. If it weren't for the sapper company, those grandsons thought they were nonsense. How could something happen? ”

"Huh? You kid knows a lot. It is estimated that Yang Bin, who has worked hard, is quite unexpected.

Xia Jian threw down the wrong pen and said angrily: "In order to snatch this batch of mines from the hands of the Jinan Garrison Division, the little brother stalked and stalked him, and soaked in the arsenal for two days, and the Taoist couldn't stand it before he allocated 500 pieces to my department. It's okay now, if you don't blow up the enemy, you will take it first, this face is embarrassing! ”

"Okay, don't talk about this, we have to report to the division as soon as possible, and ask him to order the garrison division in the south to block the north and east of the encirclement, and let Zhang Hao lead the mobile brigade and a few engineer companies to atone for the merits in the west, I will let Yang Lie's brigade cooperate, and the rest of the area will be directly commanded by the two of us."

Yang Bin suggested with a smile.

Xia Jian laughed, pointed at Yang Bin and said: "Old Yang, you are really good at thinking about others, and in just a few words, you gave Zhang Hao's grandson a chance to exonerate, no wonder the brothers of the four brigades under your command called you boss one by one, I can convince you!" Okay, let's start now, it is estimated that Jinan and Lao Ding have been in place, but I'm a little strange, with Lao Ding and Jinan's degree, there shouldn't be a delay of three hours! It can't be a fight with the Red Army in the triangle of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, right? ”

"No, how many people are there in the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Red Army? There are less than two thousand, and they are scattered in the surrounding four or five catties of small mountains, each of which is less than 800 people, dare to touch the garrison division in Jinan? I guess it was their artillery regiment that went into battle for the first time, and they had to march covertly, so it dragged down the whole; Another pound "Their marching route is not as easy as ours, and a three-hour delay is already considered smooth." After Yang Bin finished speaking, he turned to his adjutant and asked him to prepare a telegram to An Yi in Jiujiang.

Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Guess the North Garrison Division Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Zhu Shigui, the commander of the division, finished arranging the vigilance task, strode into the command headquarters, turned into the spacious conference room in the east wing, glanced at the more than 30 staff officers and four radio stations brought by An Yi, and walked straight to Zhu Peide and An Yi, who were standing in front of the large map to discuss, listened quietly, looked at the large military map on the wall that was four meters wide and two meters high, and secretly praised the staff lieutenant under An Yi's command in his heart, Zhu Shigui did not have the talent to make such an accurate and huge military map.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Chief Yang Bin is calling."

Colonel Shi Pufang, the head of the confidential section, handed the message to Zhu Peide, Zhu Peide smiled and pointed at An Yi, Shi Pufang grinned, and instead sent the message to An Yi.

After reading it, An Yi reported to Zhu Peide in a low voice, and then ordered Shi Pufang: "Call Lao Yang back." Agree with their operational arrangements. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Peide's guards strode in and whispered in Zhu Peide's ear: "General Lu Yong'an has arrived."

"Oh? How did he get here? It wouldn't be the commander-in-chief who asked him to command Zhang Shihou's 18th Division, right? ”

Zhu Peide looked at An Yi, An Yi smiled and said Wouldn't you know if you let him in.

Lu Diping took the adjutant and strode up to Zhu Peide to salute: "The subordinates greeted Yigong, and they came in a hurry and failed to report in advance, please Yigong Haihan!" Hello General An! ”

Zhu Peide returned the salute and led Lu Diping to the square table on the side and sat down, the orderly quickly brought tea, An Yi whispered a few words with Zhu Peide's staff general of the First Route Army, and also came to sit down.

Lu Diping asked in a low voice, "Yigong, Brother An." The last general has a reluctant request, and I hope that the two of them will help" This is the commander-in-chief's handwriting, and the commander-in-chief will arrive here tomorrow, worried that the two offensives will miss the opportunity, so the last general rushed to Zhu Peide first to take over the instructions, and was slightly surprised after reading it. He immediately handed the oracle to An Yi and asked Lu Diping in a low voice, "What is the relationship between Brother Yong'an and Ye Qi?" ”

"That's the case, in the second half of last month, the three armies of the Gui Department and He Jian were difficult for me, and it was all thanks to Ye Qi's timely report to Zhang Shihou, and the Eighteenth Division and the junior brother escaped. Ye Qi and Ye Cuiwei had a deep friendship with Zhang Shihou, who was then the commander of the Fourth Brigade when he was the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Division and the Third Brigade of the Hunan Army.

He Jian is very deep in the city, ruthless, and has a grudge with his younger brother for a long time, and the fierce general of the Gui family, Xia Wei, is like a fire, and he has long been eyeing my second army, if he is caught by them, it is unimaginable! Therefore, in order to repay Brother Cuiwei's life-saving grace. Brother X could only implore the principal to open the net, and the principal generously agreed and reminded the younger brother to rush to the fire, saying that Brother An was going to attack tonight, "Ya hunger, I'm afraid it's too late, so the younger brother came." ”

After Lu Diping finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Peide and An Yi earnestly.

Zhu Peide and An Yi looked at each other and were surprised. Then Zhu Peide shook his head and smiled, and explained kindly: "Brother Yong'an, you can rest assured. Originally, we didn't have any plans to eliminate Ye Qishi. plan to besiege and trap it, persuade him to surrender, and if Ye Qi insists on going his own way, he will go on the offensive. According to conventional analysis, Ye Qi will never take risks, so personal safety can still be guaranteed. ”

An Yi knew that Lu Diping was not here to command Zhang Huizan's division and the remnants of Tan Daoyuan in Xiangxi, and the vigilance in his heart suddenly relaxed, and he saw Lu Diping's rather suspicious expression, and explained in a low voice:

"General Lu, the two regiments of Ye Qi's division are divided into Liuyang. It has been saved under the overlook of our two brigades. The remaining brigade and two regiments were stationed inside and outside the Pingjiang River, and they were already under the attack of the three brigades of the Nanchang garrison division Yin Ji in the south and the two brigades of General Yang Bin, deputy commander of the Jiangxi security forces.

General Lu, please rest assured, the younger brother will call the two generals, Yang Bin and Yin Jinan, to remind them to ensure the safety of General Ye Qi. ”

Lu Diping looked at An Yi blankly, he never thought that An Yi would mobilize the Jiangxi security forces to secretly participate in the war, and was even more surprised by An Yi's deceit and degree, before the central government issued a crusade order, he had secretly dispatched heavy troops into Hunan Province, and the independent division with the best combat effectiveness of the whole army was only slowly starting today; 6 Continuing to board the ship was extremely confused, how could this ruthless move be possible without the tacit approval of Commander-in-Chief Chiang?

Lu Diping only felt that his back was cold, and he finally had an intuitive and profound understanding of the insidiousness of Commander-in-Chief Jiang and An Yi's cunning, and he wanted to ask Zhu Peide and An Yi to return Zhang Huizan's 18th Division to himself, so that he could command the angry division to attack Changsha to avenge his revenge.

"Brother Yong'an, please drink tea, let's talk slowly."

The old and spicy Zhu Peide saw at a glance what Lu Diban was planning, pretended not to see the beads of sweat on Lu Diping's head, and smiled easily.

Lu Diping tried to squeeze out a smile, nodded and took two sips of the teacup, took this opportunity to think quickly, put down the teacup and said to An Yi:

"I have heard for a long time that Brother An is like a god with soldiers, as if there is no trace of imagination, I wonder if Brother An can generously tell me about the plan of how to use the Eighteenth Division?"

Little brother dares to disobey orders? Haha, General Lu please,"

An Yi snorted, then invited Lu Diping to the map, pointed out the location where Zhang Huizan's 18th Division had arrived, and then told Lu Diping about the situation of the four divisions on the southern front:

"General Fan Shisheng's Fifth Division can go to Tiezhou tonight, rest for one night and continue to march towards Yongzhou, in order to guard against the four garrison regiments of Huang Shaoyuan's 15th Army in the direction of northern Guangxi, and cut off the southward route of General He Jian's brigade and Zhu Army regiment stationed in Hengyang; The two divisions of Wang Jun and Jin Handing will attack Chaling and Biaoyang respectively tonight, and the 18th division of General Zhang Huizan will attack Youxian, these catties. The county is a local garrison force in Hunan, neither under the jurisdiction of He Jian, nor under the jurisdiction of the Gui system, are some local armed forces under the pretext of preventing red bandits and supporting the army with self-respect, General Lu served as the governor of Hunan Province, and also gave them a number, should be clear about the combat effectiveness of these rabble, therefore, after the 18th Division conquered Youxian, it will directly take Hengshan, quickly cut off the Changheng highway and railway, and then peep into Changsha, Jin Han Ding Division took Hengyang and attacked Shaoyang non-stop and held it, Wang Junshi occupied Hengyang left and right to echo Zhang Huizan's division and Jin Han Ding Division.

The younger brother will take the train to Ai later. Turn the speedboat and go straight to Xiushui, strive to arrive at Pingjiang tomorrow evening, lead Yin Jinan's division to Changsha, and attack the north and south with the 18th division, forcing He Jian to send troops to western Hubei to participate in the battle as soon as possible.

At that time, the younger brother will respect General Zhang Shihou's opinion, and if he is willing to enter Changsha, the younger brother will order Yin Jinan's division to go to Yueyang, and attack the 12th Army of Chen Jiayou of the Gui system with General He Jian, and leave Changsha to the 18th Division."

"No, no! Thank you, Brother An, since the commander-in-chief has appointed He Jian, it is better for the Eighteenth Division to strictly follow the established plan, and the foolish brother is already satisfied with this, but I don't know where the brothers who are resting in Xiangxi are attacking.

Lu Diping never let go of the more than 6,000 people of Tan Daoyuan's division under his command, for fear of being swallowed by An Yi by taking the opportunity.

An Yi smiled slightly, and the baton pointed to the map: "Changde, General Tan's headquarters will attack Changde with all their might at dawn tomorrow, where there is a regular regiment and a security regiment of Chen Jiayou, and the two garrison regiments of Taoyuan and Hanshou have defected to the 44th Army of Zhang Hongza's predecessors, General Tan will not be very difficult, as long as Changde is successfully taken, General Tan can grow again, and soon it will be a complete main division." After the battle, how did General Lu mobilize his younger brother to obey orders. ”

Lu Diping gratitatively grabbed An Yi's hand: "Thank you, brother!" The foolish brother will be rewarded in the future! ”

General Lu politely said that the younger brother saw Tan Gong during the meeting in Nanjing, and his old man specially recruited the younger brother for this purpose, and the younger brother told the truth in his heart at that time, so that his old man could rest assured that the younger generation would try his best to make General Zhang Huizan and General Tan Daoyuan make great achievements and show their strength. After all. There are not many old troops of the Northern Expedition who came out of Guangzhou together, and my brother knows Tan Gong's wishes. didn't dare to be perfunctory, Tan Gong was also quite pleased. An Yi said politely.

Lu Diping nodded frequently, thinking about it, Pian Xuan smiled at An Yi and said, "Brother An, how about Brother Fool go to the front line with you?" Brother An's commanding talent is famous in the whole army, and the foolish brother is easy to learn from! ”

This An Yi looked at Zhu Peide with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, before Brother Yu came to Jiujiang, Commander-in-Chief Jiang instructed Brother Yu to go to Tan Yirushi if he had the opportunity, and take him to Wuchang after the battle to stand by and prepare for reorganization." Lu Diping explained.

Zhu Peide came to the two of them with a smile: "Okay, then you can go together!" Xiao Yi, I will let them speed up the three divisions on the southern front, you can command the Changsha and Yueyang lines in the north, if necessary, I will ask Huan Qi to bring two security brigades to support you, there are noble garrison divisions here. There is a new editor of Cheng Guang in Hukou, which is enough for "the younger generation to obey orders!" ”

An Yi nodded and agreed.

Lu Diping was stunned again, he didn't know how Zhu Peide and An Yi came up with two more divisions, let alone that this local garrison division had been included in the sequence of the main division of the Central Army by Commander-in-Chief Jiang three days ago.
