The atmosphere in the combat command room of the Yucheng camp was relaxed, and watching the red go west, the day's battle was almost over. Night battles are rare in this era, not that everyone has to sleep, but the soldiers in this era are not very well nourished, and the proportion of people suffering from night blindness is quite high. Today's daytime battle was generally won, Tongliang and Yongchuan directions were all held, and the Wusheng direction also reported that one of the enemy's brigades had been defeated, and another regiment had been annihilated, and thousands of people had been captured! What a victory!

"Report." A staff officer rushed to the canteen of the battalion, and judging by his face, it was estimated that there was good news, and he saluted the commanders who were having dinner, and reported loudly: "The 14th Division has discovered Yang Hanyu, the commander of the enemy's 8th Division, among the prisoners!" ”

"Yang Hanyu? Caught Janssen's nephew? Luo Yaoguo was a little surprised, he didn't expect to catch such a big fish on the first day of battle, but would Yang Sen give up?

Jiang Baili smiled and asked, "Have you confirmed it?" ”

"It's confirmed." The staff officer nodded and replied, "Let the other captives identify it, and it is confirmed that it is Yang Hanyu." ”

"What a victory!" Jiang Baili smiled and said: "I caught a division commander on the first day, it seems that Yang Sen is rabbit tail can't grow!" ”

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Baili, I'm afraid tonight is a sleepless night!" Yang Sen would not give up, ordered all troops to prepare for a fierce battle, and also informed An Sihua to speed up. ”

Janssen's nephew was lost on the first day, and if he could swallow this breath, he wouldn't be Janssen, and he would definitely have to fight a night battle tonight. Let's just beat it in the dark! Hopefully, there will be fewer casualties.

……

Lion Rock in Wusheng County, Wang Laochao's headquarters is located in a manor at the foot of Lion Rock, and now it has become a mess, and Wang Laochao's shouting and scolding can be heard from afar.

"Ge Laozi, what are you people doing to eat! Why did you lose the division commander on the first day? How can you tell me about this? ”

Wang Laochao was really a little anxious, and letting Yang Hanyu play as a striker originally wanted him to show his foreign appearance, but he didn't expect that foreign appearance would come out to this extent, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Thinking about it, Yang Hanyu is also a member of the Yang family generals, although he is not very competent as a division commander, but he has been fighting for many years, so it shouldn't be gone like this! How should I explain to Janssen now?

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Laoran, who had been a former Qing Xiucai, quickly thought of a telegram, and he dictated to the clerk on the side: "The telegram to Hui Shuai is proposed like this: General Yang Jichao (Yang Hanyu) dared to be the first of the three armies with a division of soldiers, and marched forward bravely all the way. General Yang has fought with the enemy on the bank of the Jialing River to the end at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, until the last shot and a bullet, it is difficult to turn the tide, and he has been loyal to the country, and he has been benevolent! Although Zhang Xu is not talented, he is willing to take General Yang Jichao as an example, take 40,000 tigers, and have the determination to become benevolent if he does not succeed, fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and hope that Huishuai will be successful. ”

After dictating the telegram of the funeral, Wang Lao Chao was not in the mood to eat, so he hurriedly held a meeting of the generals and arranged for tonight's night battle. Naturally, the remnants of the division brought by Yang Hanyu could no longer be used, so Wang Laochao ordered them to guard the rear of the army under the command of Deputy Division Commander Lu. The remaining three divisions, with Yuan Bao'er (Yuan Baochu) second division to attack Taipingpu, to Cheng Jie's sixth division to attack Yankou Township, Wang Lao Chao personally led the first division of his descendants to attack the beach to "avenge" Yang Hanyu.

Li Zongren, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Kuomintang who commanded the battle of the former enemy in Wusheng, also knew that Yang Hanyu was a little stabbed, but he was also caught, so he couldn't let him go because he was Yang Sen's nephew, right? How much does it hurt your self-esteem? Besides, your Sichuan army is going to work hard, is our Gui army afraid of you?

In the former enemy headquarters in Yejiashan Village, Li Zongren, Huang Xuchu, Xia Wei, Zhang Gan, and other Guangxi generals gathered together and were also holding a military meeting.

Li Zongren stood up and looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Mingrui fought well today, defeated them one brigade after another with one regiment, and captured their division commander Yang Hanyu, showing the prestige of our Guangxi people!" General Fuwen just called to commend him, rewarded him with 30,000 pieces of legal currency, and promoted Mingrui to major general and deputy division commander. After speaking, Li Zongren took the lead in applauding, and the Guangxi brothers below also clapped their hands vigorously, the battle was really good, and this reward was deserved.

After everyone applauded, Li Zongren smiled and said: "The Xingying Intelligence Department also intercepted a secret telegram from them, and that Wang Lao sent a eulogy to Yang Hanyu, and said that he would bring his 40,000 tiger ben to us desperately. ”

The crowd burst into laughter, as if they had heard something funny. These Guangxi soldiers have been invincible all these years, and their vision is getting higher and higher, and they don't take the brothers of the Sichuan army in their eyes.

"They're going to die tonight." Li Zongren sneered: "It seems that if it is not General Sihua's turn to make a move, they will become dead people." I have now decided to change the battle plan and transfer the 13th Division, and the 35th Division in Hechuan will arrive soon. So that we have three divisions to fight three of them! Mingrui, your 41st Regiment was transferred to Taipingpu, and you came to command the 40th Regiment and the 41st Regiment in a unified manner. Jie Zhai (Zhang Gan), your 13th Division has reached Xiangshui Beach, the 13th Division is our old army, you have to fight hard, let these Sichuan rats see how powerful our Gui Army is! Xucang (Xia Wei), you take the 14th Division directly into Yankou, and the position in Yejiashan Village is handed over to the Seventh Army Army for direct management. Hehe, there are two divisions on the front of more than three kilometers, I want to see what Wang Lao uses to collide? ”

"Jixian." After Li Zongren finished deploying the task, Chief of Staff Huang Xuchu continued: "Are your artillery sure to knock out the opponent's artillery?" ”

"No problem." Li Wenhua is now the acting head of the Seventh Artillery Regiment, and it is rare for him to achieve the regimental level among the graduates of the first phase of Huangpu, and his ability to achieve this position is completely Luo Yaoguo's exceptional promotion, he looked at Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu, and said with a smile: "The department has another suggestion." ”

"Say it." Li Zongren waved his hand and motioned for Li Wenhua to continue.

"Now that we know the enemy's intentions, it is better for our artillery to strike first and bombard the enemy's offensive starting line in advance." Li Wenhua looked at the two main generals and said: "I estimate that the direction of the enemy's main attack tonight should be the Xiangshuitan position, so how about we concentrate the artillery regiment and the 48 mountain guns of the 13th Division's artillery battalion to bombard their position opposite Xiangshuitan first?" ”

"Yes." Li Zongren smiled slightly and said, "Jixian's proposal is very good, just do it, let's take a preemptive strike and bombard them." The time is set for 8 o'clock tonight. Alright, let's go and prepare. Meeting. ”

Eight o'clock, maybe there is a providence in the dark, or maybe it is the moon in the sky at this time, and the sky is not very dark. Wang Lao Chao also made the ghost choose eight points as the time to launch the attack. Time passed slowly in waiting, and eight o'clock in the evening was soon coming.

On the artillery position in Yejiashan Village, Li Wenhua looked at the time, and it was 7:55 p.m. on June 1, 1925. In another 5 minutes, a group of forty-eight cannons will launch a heavy artillery bombardment of the enemy's positions. Don't be empty then! If thousands of shells and 500,000 or 600,000 fiat coins are wasted like this, the acting head of his artillery regiment should almost come to an end, right?

Time passed minute by minute, as long as he gave an order, the Sichuan army's position opposite Xiangshuitan would become a sea of fire, Li Wenhua's heart had already risen to his throat, and all 48 cannons were loaded with shells, and the muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the dark night sky, aiming at the northeast.
