Section IX Situation

History at the end of 1924 there was a little deviation, in another time and space after Sun Yat-sen went north, Tan Yankai served as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, continued the Northern Expedition, and then failed in the Battle of Ganzhou, before the Eastern Expedition and the Jiangxi army entangled in southern Jiangnan, another army that set off a little earlier created a miracle, Fan Zhongxiu led 7000 Henan troops, rampant through five provinces, turned to fight more than 2000 miles, fought a bloody road in the 10,000 army, and finally reached southern Henan. But in this space, history has changed the trajectory of its course.

After pacifying the merchant group, Sun Yat-sen deployed an eastward expedition to Chen Jiongming in Guangzhou, but before it could be implemented, he went north, and Tan Yankai's Jiangxi army stayed in Shaoguan to take a defensive posture against Jiangxi, but Fan Zhongxiu led his army north like another time and space.

Fan Zhongxiu's Yu army is all Henan children, homesick, very incomprehensible to stop the Northern Expedition, the military heart is shaken, forced to helpless Fan Zhongxiu to Sun Yat-sen asked for a separate Northern Expedition, the lone Northern Expedition was naturally opposed by the military and political officials in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen then promised Fan Zhongxiu to eliminate Chen Jiongming within a year, and then the Northern Expedition. Unexpectedly, before Sun Yat-sen went north, Fan Zhongxiu came to ask to go north again, and proposed that the prime minister go to Yanjing, and it is not possible to have a reliable army around him. In this way, Sun Yat-sen agreed to Fan Zhongxiu's north.

Sun Yat-sen's decision changed, Tan Yankai stayed in Shaoguan and Fan Zhongxiu's northward journey, but it affected the Sichuan army Xiong Kewu and Dongjiang Chen Jiongming who were hovering on the border of Hunan and Guizhou, and then affected the First Eastern Crusade. We'll talk about these things later, let's talk about Xiong Kewu first.

Xiong Kewu is a member of the Sichuan Old League, participated in the Guangzhou Uprising, organized the Shu army and political axe during the Xinhai Revolution, and later participated in the Second Revolution, fled after defeat, served in the Cai Yi Department during the Protectorate War, and then formed the Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army, and then participated in the warlord melee in Sichuan, in 1918 Sun Yat-sen appointed Xiong Kewu as the Sichuan Governor, Yang Shukan as the governor of Sichuan, due to the contradictions between Xiong and Yang, Xiong Kewu was dissatisfied with Sun Yat-sen's appointment of Yang as the governor, and turned to the road of inter-provincial autonomy, Sun Yat-sen sent Chiang Kai-shek into Sichuan, However, when Chiang Kai-shek walked to Kuimen, he was stopped by Xiong Kewu. With the support of Xie Zhi, then secretary general of the Generalissimo Office in Guangzhou, Yang Shukan and Shi Qingyang and Lu Chao of the Kuomintang faction of the Sichuan army jointly fell into the bear, and Xiong Kewu united with Liu Xiang, Liu Cunhou and other Sichuan troops to resist, this war Xiong Kewu was defeated and then won, and finally the other factions of the Kuomintang were completely driven out of Sichuan, and then Xiong Kewu and Liu Xiang broke out of the war again, this time Xiong Kewu was the first to win and then defeated, and finally defeated out of Sichuan, leading the troops to retreat to the Yunnan-Guizhou border, Tang Jiyao and Xiong Kewu also had a grudge, and also sent heavy troops to monitor the bear department, Xiong Kewu had no plan and sent Dan Maoxin to Guangzhou in the hope of participating in the Northern Expedition and bringing his troops to the border of Hunan and Guizhou. Sun Yat-sen welcomed, but Sun Yat-sen told Dan Maoxin that he would not prepare for the Northern Expedition in the short term, and asked Xiong Kewu to bring the army to Guangzhou, and then Dan Maoxin went north with Sun Yat-sen.

Xiong Kewu hesitated after receiving Dan Maoxin's letter, and did not begin to lead his army to Guangdong until the beginning of the 25th century, of course, this is a later story. However, he was unable to participate in the First Eastern Crusade and the counterinsurgency in Guangzhou, which also became a major crime for Zhuang Jihua.

Let's talk about Chen Jiongming. After returning to the Dongjiang River, Chen Jiongming did not want to return to Guangzhou all the time, in 23 years Chen Jiongming once launched a counteroffensive, hit outside the city of Guangzhou by Fan Zhongxiu's counterattack, the three main divisions were defeated, so far the officers and soldiers of the Chen Department still have lingering fears about the Fan Yu army. He was still a little hesitant when Chen Lian Bolai contacted him, but now that Sun Yat-sen was going north, Fan Zhongxiu's Yu army, which was the most effective in combat, also went north, which gave him some confidence, so he returned to Huizhou from Hong Kong and prepared to return to Guangzhou in the west.

Zhuang Jihua didn't know about the former's actions, and Zhuang Jihua learned about the latter from the newspaper. He did not know exactly when the Crusade began, but from these reports he felt that the Crusade was about to begin. Since he sent out ten questions, Yu Shandu has never come to him, and although the criticism of him in "Soldier's Friend" continues, the tone has been lowered by an octave, and there is no more article about Yu Shandu. However, he doesn't have the heart to worry about these for the time being, and what he is going to participate in now is a graduation exercise.

"The enemy has occupied the area from Slender Dog Ridge to Shipai, and advanced to the area of Shilong, and the task of our army is to counterattack the enemy and recapture Slender Dog Ridge." After a serious introduction to the enemy's situation, he looked at the captains of the various detachments sitting down, and then said: "This is your last exercise in the military academy and your graduation exercise. The director's office is located in the Beidi Temple in Zhucun, and the members of the evaluation team and the coordinator will follow each team to act. The action plan will be discussed and proposed by you, and I will submit it to the director after approval. (I don't know if it was called the director's department at that time, but I didn't figure out this problem after checking a lot of information, so I'll borrow the current name here.) )

As soon as they heard this, Jiang Xianyun, Hu Zongnan, Huang Wei, Xu Jishen, Chen Geng, Fan Hanjie, and other detachment leaders immediately became excited, knowing that in the previous exercises, the plans were formulated by the superiors, and they only implemented them, but this time they were almost completely in charge, and the reason why they said almost, was that the plan they proposed had to be seriously approved.

"How many enemies are there on the other side?" Huang Wei asked.

"About two battalions, the first and second battalions of the teaching regiment, totaling about nine hundred people." Seriously replied.

"Who's the commander?" Jiang Xianyun asked again.

"Zhu Tang, chief of staff of the teaching regiment."

"Has the enemy captured the stone dragon?"

"I don't know."

"What is the deployment of the enemy's forces?"

"I don't know."

I didn't know two in a row, which calmed down everyone's emotions and began to feel that things were a little tricky. The total strength of the enemy is nearly 900 people, which is twice as many as theirs, and the Slender Dog Ridge belongs to the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain, which is the highest mountain in a radius of dozens of miles.

Seeing that everyone was silent, he reminded: "Your time is only three days, and the starting place is the Yuzhu Fort under our feet, and if you don't take Slender Dog Ridge within three days, you will lose." ”

Everyone felt a little helpless, the enemy's situation was unclear, and no one dared to put forward a battle plan.

"How about everyone, don't be dumb, speak." Asked with a serious smile.

"Captain, if the director doesn't give a plan, forget it, why don't you give the enemy." Hu Zongnan complained.

"I see this, send people to reconnoitre, find out the situation." Jiang Xianyun suggested.

"Yes, I'll go." Xu Jishen volunteered.

"*, why don't you speak, it's not like you." Seriously knows Zhuang Jihua's recent troubles, but he is a pure soldier who does not want and does not want to get involved in politics; He admired Zhuang Jihua and didn't want him to sink like this.

"If you can't go, I suggest Chen Geng go." Zhuang Jihua opened his mouth and said that although he was in trouble now, he still served as the leader of a detachment during the exercise.

"Why can't I." Xu Jishen asked unconvinced, although Zhuang Jihua's ten questions were aimed at the residual sprinkling, it also made some [***] members feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your military surname is too obvious, and your accent has some Hunan flavor, which is easy to arouse suspicion. I don't want to lose a squadron leader at the beginning of the exercise. Zhuang Jihua didn't scruple at all: "Chen Geng is different, pure Cantonese, and what he looks like, a natural actor." ”

Everyone was happy, and Chen Geng said with a smile: "*, since you know, why didn't you let me play the leading role in the first place, you had to let me play a woman, and let Li Zhilong pick up a big bargain, so I don't know what the famous role is until now." ”

"Cut, you're not cheap, that's the first heroine, don't take the heroine as a bad role. I can tell you, beware that I tell Kim Hye-sook what you say, and ask her to come to you. ”

"Don't, don't, man, just because I didn't say it." Chen Geng's face turned a little pale, and he hurriedly asked for mercy.

This Jin Huishu is a student of Guangdong Law and Politics School, after the Blood Flower Drama Club performed in the Law and Politics School, Jin Huishu found Li Zhilong and asked to transfer to Whampoa to study, Li Zhilong just hesitated, and was immediately accused of discriminating against female surnames, and then from the root of Li Zhilong's thoughts, the hats were one after another, which scared Li Zhilong to the point of colorlessness; Chen Geng really couldn't stand it, and said on the side that the political commissar of the principal had the final say on whether the Whampoa Military Academy recruited girls, Jin Huishu immediately turned the gun and pointed it at Chen Geng, and Li Zhilong immediately ran, and after returning to school, Chen Geng's face turned pale and scolded Li Zhilong for not being a friend enough. Since then, the members of the Blood Flower Drama Club have talked about gold and changed color, and they regard the Law and Politics School as a daunting path.

"That's not good, everyone here heard it," Zhuang Jihua said seriously, but he remembered what Chen Geng had done to him for a treat: "You have to express it." ”

Chen Geng's mind turned and he understood: "Okay, you are a village*, I still remember this matter." ”

"I lost ten oceans at the beginning, which is a quarter of my property, and I have to recover a little bit today." Zhuang Jihua laughed twice.

"Careful-eyed, stingy, typical Grande." Chen Geng scolded angrily.

"The more you scold, the better my memory." Zhuang Jihua looked so tidy. Jiang Xianyun smiled: "Yes, I will testify to you when the time comes." ”

Hu Zongnan was a little inexplicable, he didn't know who Jin Huishu was, but the attitude of the three made him extremely dissatisfied, he knocked on the table and said loudly: "This is a pre-war meeting, what are you talking about." ”

Serious didn't understand what they were talking about at all, just watched the three of them joking lightly, but he appreciated it in his heart: this is the talent of a general, and the others are not like the three.

Only those who can do not panic in their hearts can take on heavy responsibilities, and only those who have a plan in their hearts will not panic.

"Don't worry, Brother Shoushan, wait until Chen Geng and I settle the accounts clearly." Zhuang Jihua said unhurriedly.

Jiang Xianyun said with a smile: "Chen Geng said something happy, okay or not, everyone is waiting." ”

Chen Geng said unconvinced: "Won't I just say a word about the heroine, and I don't mean to look down on the heroine." ”

"That's not what we heard." Zhuang Jihua and Jiang Xianyun squeezed each other's eyes and smiled tacitly.

"Do you want to... Fabrication...."Chen Geng looked suddenly enlightened.

Hehe, Zhuang Jihua and Jiang Xianyun laughed at the same time, Chen Geng's face changed color for a while, and finally compromised: "Okay, it's a big deal, please give you a meal." Then he was unconvinced and said, "You have to be careful, I will have to find it sooner or later." ”

Zhuang Jihua laughed: "I'm careful, eating is a trivial matter, don't delay reconnaissance for this." ”

"Go and go, if you get cheap and sell well, it's a big deal that you don't get the first month's salary." Chen Geng said angrily.

"That'll do, but where are you going?" Jiang Xianyun asked.

"Didn't you say that Shipai has been occupied, I'll go to Shipai first, and then go to Shipai." Chen Geng said.

"No, this won't work, you can't go directly to Shipai, but you have to take a detour from the south to Tancun, Yuhui, Yang Village, and Shipai back, and you must pay special attention to the strength of Shigang on the way back." Zhuang Jihua said.

"Going so far? Is it too late?" asked Zheng Dongguo.

"I agree, the precautions of the stone card must be very strict, and I am afraid that it will not work to go directly." Xu Jishen said.

"I also agree, but I'm afraid it's not enough to send Chen Geng alone, for the sake of safety, send two more groups." Hu Zongnan added.

"Yes, Brother Shoushan is reasonable, let Qiu Xi take people to do tactical reconnaissance in the direction of Shilong, and Brother Enlargement will lead people to the north of Shipai for tactical reconnaissance, and it is best to catch two prisoners back." Zhuang Jihua suggested.

"But in this way, we only know the situation of the enemy in Shipai, so what about the deployment of the enemy near Skinny Dog Ridge?"

"Chen Geng took a few more people and divided into two roads in Yang Village, all the way to reconnoiter in the direction of Slender Dog Ridge, and all the way to the direction of Shipai." Jiang Xianyun thought about it and said.

"Well, that's good, it's time-saving." Hu Zongnan nodded.

"Chen Geng, don't take any risks, the captain has an order, Chen Geng must take the direction of Shipai." Zhuang Jihua looked at Chen Geng, saw his eager look, and knew that he was playing a bad idea, so he reminded.

"Okay, I'll give this order." Seriously, he also saw that these few were not good birds, and he grabbed other people's minds accurately.

"Okay, that's it."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Then I'll report it."
