Chapter 164: The Battle of Poyang Lake
Zhang Fakui was completely furious, as the commander-in-chief of the front army of the National Revolutionary Army, being played by a young man like this made Zhang Fakui completely crazy.
"Order all the troops to get on the boat, they must not be far by now, do they think they can run away when they get on the boat? Lao Tzu wants to crush their bones and scatter ashes. Zhang Fakui commanded the troops with scarlet eyes.
At this time, Xie Yingbai was still quite awake, "Commander-in-chief, if it is dark today, and you have also discovered, because of the humid weather, the fog here is very large, and you can't even see your five fingers when you stretch out your hand, let alone pursue the enemy, and even finding the enemy is a difficult thing." "What are we afraid of, we have an army of 100,000 and so many large ships, what can the enemy rely on to resist us? Even with sharp artillery, such a large fog hides our tracks and allows us to better break through the enemy's defenses. Huang Qixiang said.
"But what should we do if the enemy has an ambush?" Xie Yingbai insisted, "He knew that if this army also died, then Liu Yuan would be able to advance eastward with peace of mind, and then the pressure on Chiang Kai-shek would become much greater." "Commander Huang is right, such a big fog just gives us cover, order the whole army to get on the boat, the small boat in front, the big boat in the back, we go to Poyang Lake, there is a beard we want to go ashore is not simple, it is a good thing to take Nanchang, as for the two little cubs on the opposite side to go back and settle accounts with them." Xie Yingbai couldn't be dissuaded, so he could only try his best to follow Zhang Fakui's side, if there was any emergency, he would help Zhang Fakui solve it, and at the same time, Xie Yingbai also had a faint hint of luck in his heart, that is, if they crossed the Jiujiang River and went down to the lake, they would be able to hit Nanchang smoothly, and then Liu Yuan's trouble would be solved.
By this evening, working overtime, there were already dozens of big ships and more than 100 small boats, and it really felt like covering the sky and the sun from a distance.
Zhang Fakui himself didn't know that at the moment when their big ship was developed, a telegram arrived at the military team of the Elite Alliance of Strong Powers, and Nie Rongzhen was on duty, he was writing something, and when he saw this urgent telegram, he was very puzzled, because he knew everyone in the military team, and he really didn't know who was called Dongyu, but the intelligence was very scary, Zhang Fakui had already gotten on the big boat, and he was allowed to cross Poyang Lake and go straight to Nanchang.
Nie Rongzhen went straight to the infirmary and told Liu Yuan about the matter, Liu Yuan just smiled and said, "Old Nie, why are you so uncalm, since we handed over the command to the bearded man, you shouldn't be in such a hurry, so send the information to Mr. He, since it is the intelligence within our alliance, it can't be wrong." He Long was sitting on a small table with Zhang Lingfu drinking peanuts, He Long had a chili pepper in his mouth, smiling like a flower, and he didn't care about Zhang Lingfu's different eyes.
"You kid can really do it, no wonder Liu Yuan takes such a fancy to you, he made you a brigade commander at such a young age, you are brave and strategic, and you can be a general in time." He Long personally poured Zhang Lingfu a glass of wine, and whispered, "Your commander-in-chief is strict, the inspection team even confiscated a lot of my wine two days ago, this is a part secretly left for medical alcohol, although you kid has an appetite for me, you don't drink much." Zhang Lingfu took a sip, drank a small half cup and nodded at He Long, meaning that I understand your words, and continued to say after taking a sip of food, "It's not that I Zhang Lingfu can fight, it's really Zhang Fakui who is too self-conscious, I don't have any big skills, but people with skills can't be reused, I estimate that it won't be long before he will be removed, but Commander He Long, a few days ago, with Commander Du Yuming, those battles were really neat, the commander-in-chief telegraphed the whole army three times in a row, calling on the troops to learn from you." In order to wait for Zhang Fakui to be extinguished, the bearded name must be popular all over the country. Zhang Lingfu and He Long were eating simple wine and food, and they were touting each other in the tent, and at this time, the correspondent suddenly ran in, saw the wine glass on the table, sniffed it, and there was a smell of wine.
As soon as the correspondent was about to say something, He Long waved his hand and said, "Zhang Lingfu Brigade was injured a little, and I was afraid that he would become inflamed, so I wiped him with alcohol." "yes, wiped the alcohol." Liu Yuan is very strict in governing the army, if the inspection team knows the way, he will definitely be unlucky when he turns back, and the correspondent has no intention of making trouble with his leader, so he gave He Long a military salute and said.
"The headquarters is in an emergency, and the whole army of Zhang Fakui's department has already boarded the boat and gone down to Poyang Lake." The correspondent said nervously.
"What, so fast, go and invite Xiao Xiucai." He Long said anxiously.
Xiao Xiucai came by rubbing his eyes, looking at the mess of cups and plates in He Long's barracks, as well as the unfinished wine on the table, he immediately became angry, "What are you two doing, don't let people sleep." Xiao Xiucai's voice was as sharp as a knife, and the guards standing guard at the door were frightened.
"Xiao Xiucai, you don't know the situation, Zhang Fakui's troops have already gotten on the big boat, preparing to cross the lake, get down to Poyang Lake, and go straight to Nanchang, how are you preparing?" At this time, how can He Long not be nervous.
"I thought it was something, from ancient times to the present, Poyang Lake is an important battlefield, all kinds of water fortifications have not completely failed, I only took one day, and I have connected three iron chains on Poyang Lake to ensure that he can't pass a boat." "Then I'll rest assured, oh, by the way, how about the requisition, if you want to fight a people's war, you can't do it without the support of the people." He Long continued to ask.
"Commander He Long, hurry up and organize the troops, people who had slept well were all disturbed by you, and the affairs of the people will be handed over to me, if Zhang Fakui is allowed to run away, there will be no one to compensate for this sleep." "Do you want to send a telegram to the commander-in-chief to confirm," After all, this scale of operations has a great impact, at this time Zhang Lingfu was a little hesitant, it is true that in this kind of big matter, he is not as responsible as He Long.
"What are you afraid of, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commander-in-chief only gave us the information, and did not give any orders, which proves that the commander-in-chief has fully authorized us, since the commander-in-chief has handed over the command to me, I am responsible for any problems, but being famous is a thing." He Long patted his chest, he knew that this little guy was still young, and young people were afraid of things for the sake of their own future.
"Just do it! What are you afraid of! After saying that, Xiao Xiucai had already left the tent and hurried to stop the organization of the people, and Zhang Lingfu and He Long also began to organize the troops, and a big battle was about to be staged in Poyang Lake.
