Jiang Fangzhen had already heard of the name Liu Yuan when he visited Germany, because in the textbook of the Berlin Military University, there was an article discussing the possibility of tank group operations, which was deeply recognized by the military instructors at that time, and the author of this article was Liu Yuan.

Later, Jiang Fangzhen also stayed in Japan for a while, and he found that in Japan, a country where the emperor should be worshipped, many young people are worshipping a young man named Liu Yuan, and they are used to reading a novel called "How Steel is Made", they are used to talking about what new works this young man named Liu Yuan has, they talk about what excellent performance this young man named Liu Yuan has in China, and even in the mouths of young people in Japan, Jiang Fangzhen can hear the names of Hu Zongnan and Yu Jishi, Obviously, the younger generation in Japan knows a lot about young people in China.

Jiang Fangzhen returned to China last year, first served Wu Peifu for a period of time, and these days in China, Jiang Fangzhen found that the name Liu Yuan is not very popular, because in the newspapers and teahouses, there are some partisan arguments, or legends of the great commanders, and it seems that the younger generation does not pay much attention.

When the Third Division of Whampoa appeared on the battlefield in Hunan and Hubei as the first batch of advance troops with the Fourth Army, Jiang Fangzhen realized the difference between these armies, they were too fast, they were too strong.

He looked for Sun Chuanfang several times, hoping that he could support Wu Peifu, Jiang Fangzhen had a strong premonition that once they did not support Wu Peifu, this former giant would fall quickly, and Jiangxi would become a new battlefield.

This former student of his own did not seem to be very self-conscious, greed filled his brain, and he seemed very confident that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally reap the benefits.

But the truth is very sudden, when a large number of troops hit Nanchang, Sun Chuanfang almost fell over, at this time Wang Yuanyi stood up, this wise general who has accompanied Sun Chuanfang to fight the world for many years, took the initiative to take Nanchang, to teach the southern army a lesson.

For Wang Yuanyi, Jiang Fangzhen is still relatively relieved, he doesn't have much courage at will, but the strategy is enough, and the war is a brain.

And just yesterday, Wang Yuanyi actually asked Sun Chuanfang for support, asking for 50,000 to 80,000 troops to completely annihilate the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's extremely elite troops of the first division and 10,000 people of the third division.

Sun Chuanfa was still a little hesitant, and at this time Jiang Fangzhen stood up and said to Sun Chuanfang, "The southern army is like a sharp arrow, shooting from the south to the north, although he has just left the bowstring, but his sharpness has been undoubtedly revealed. And the sharper the arrow, the higher the requirements for the sword cluster, although the southern army is brave, but the arrow cluster is not very many, two only, respectively, the independent regiment of the fourth army and the third division of the first army, if we can mobilize heavy troops to destroy one, then the southern army will not be able to fly far this arrow. ”

Hearing Jiang Fangzhen's analogy, Sun Chuanfang nodded and said, "Teacher, I don't worry about handing over 50,000 people to others, can you go in person, in my opinion, although the younger generation of Huangpu is very powerful, but the older generation should not be underestimated, if their reinforcements come in time, I think our losses will be not small, now it is like this, we can keep Jiangxi, fight for the world, I Sun Xinyuan is not afraid to think about it." ”

Although Jiang Fangzhen despised Sun Chuanfang's lack of ambition, he also knew that the warlords were not as good as the sunset in Xishan every day, and the revolutionary government had CP to join but into the sunrise and sunrise, and it seemed to be a matter of time before he took over the world, but Sun Chuanfa made himself the chief of the general staff, and if he betrayed him, he would not be able to say anything in the world.

Jiang Fangzhen silently glanced at Sun Chuanfang in the room, and sighed in his heart, "The warlord is in power, and he is happy with his strength, but the result will be soft and self-defeating. ”

The first thing Jiang Fangzhen did when he came to Nanchang was to move the headquarters forward to a hill not far from Niuxing, and with great foresight, Niuxing's defensive position could be clearly reflected in the sight, and Jiang Fangzhen won Wang Yuanyi's approval with just such a simple move.

On the same day, Wang Yuanyi personally came to Jiang Fangzhen's barracks and said to Jiang Fangzhen, "Although I think I have some ability, but compared to you, I am very small, and now I am all working for the commander, my Wang Yuanyi is not capable enough, so the command will be handed over to you, I Wang Yuanyi went to the front line, I am afraid that those little cubs are not capable enough." ”

Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said, "I heard that the commander of Niu Xing is a young man named Liu Yuan, the young commanders around him are very good at commanding battles, and they have their own styles, you must be extra careful when you get to the front line, and don't wear officers' clothes, there is such a group of people in their troops, called snipers, who specialize in sniping officers, so that the troops fall into chaos." ”

Listening to Jiang Fangzhen's words, Wang Yuanyi nodded, "The snipers you mentioned, I have heard about them, the last time we fought, I think they relied on snipers to quickly break into my position, and almost failed to end my command, and now this young man's ability is getting bigger and bigger." ”

"Brother Yuanyi, don't be discouraged, although their young people in Guangzhou have the ability, but the positions are occupied by the older generation, and the quality of their older generation of officers is very poor, take this Nanchang counterattack as an example, we can easily take back Nanchang, their commanders have not been able to contact the troops, the ability can be seen, although the young generation can occupy Niuxing, but surrounded by us, how long do you say they can live." Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile.

"However, they are so good, they are the future hope of the country, and now although they are their own and quarrelsome, I always feel pity to kill them. Do you know that although those foreigners helped the marshal, the marshal also knew their attitude towards China, I am afraid that one day when the young people will be used in the national war, but they all died in the civil war" Wang Yuanyi shook his head and said, in fact, there is no shortage of far-sighted people under the warlords, but their names are covered by the glory of the victors and disappeared into the dust of history.

"Brother Yuanyi, you don't have to be like this, if they really have the ability, they will survive from our encirclement, talents who can stand the test, and there are constant problems between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, as far as I know, there are many CP party members in the third division, whether they can continue to grow is still a question, you don't have to be so entangled." Jiang Fangzhen clicked on the map and continued, "In the early hours of this morning, your team launched a frontal attack from here, and the shells were as accurate as possible, they dug artillery holes to put pressure on them frontally, and then selected 2,000 people from the troops in Nanchang City, all of whom were elite soldiers, and equipped them with light weapons such as machine guns. ”

Wang Yuanyi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "You mean that we crossed the Gan River, attacked them from behind, and gave them a strong blow." ”

"Yes, Nanchang and Niuhang are separated by the Ganjiang River, ordinary people can never imagine, we can go down the rope and cross the Ganjiang River, and you see, their defense on three sides is very good, but there are no fortifications on the opposite side of the Ganjiang River, we only need to occupy these two warehouses, we can build a pontoon bridge, and the soldiers start from Nanchang and continue to cross the Ganjiang River."

"Why do you want to go down the rope, isn't it good to take a detour directly?" asked Wang Yuanyi suspiciously.

"No, I heard that there is an organization on the other side, which specializes in investigating the enemy, as long as you send troops out of the city gate, I think the troops on the other side will get the news, and they will be on guard at that time."
