Tingsi Bridge is the gateway to the south of Hubei, open Tingsi Bridge, the Northern Expeditionary Army can continue to march into Hubei, take the two lakes, for the Northern Expeditionary Army, it is definitely a good thing, the ancient saying cloud, the two lakes are familiar, the world is full, it can be seen the importance of the two lakes.

However, the Tingsi Bridge is a famous natural hazard on the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, surrounded by water on three sides, and only one railway bridge can pass.

The east side is a lofty mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the river is rising very much today, and it has become a moat.

In this battle, Liu Yuan found that he was unfortunately assigned to the main attack unit, but from the beginning of the battle, Liu Yuan had a faint rush to make a wedding dress for others.

The Tingsi Bridge was dangerous, but it could not garrison too many troops, so Wu Peifu once again concentrated the elite of more than 30,000 people, commanded by Chief of Staff Li Jichen. Ma Ji, Liu Zhilu and other cadres are also here to defend it.

Liu Yuan's third division was the main attacking unit, and Zhang Fakui's two divisions were also fighting together; Li Zongren attacked Puqi, while He Jian led two divisions of the Eighth Army to cross the river to Jiayu and copy its rear road. Wang Boling's first division and independent regiment turned out to be reserves.

Liu Yuanzhi said that no matter what they do, there is a premise, that is, their main attack is good, otherwise they will be blind in any action.

The Fourth Army led by Zhang Fakui, the nickname of the Fourth Army is the Iron Army, and a nickname proves how capable the Fourth Army is.

Before the war, Zhang Fakui said to Liu Yuan, your three divisions have suffered relatively large losses in successive battles, so leave it to us below.

Liu Yuanyuan had a premonition from the moment he came to Tingsi Bridge that it was difficult to mention the nature of making wedding dresses for others, so he agreed to Zhang Fakui.

In other words, no matter what happened to Zhang Fakui later, he was really high-spirited at the moment, standing at the front of the team, brandishing a pistol, and shouting loudly, "Brothers, for the revolution, for the Northern Expedition, for the liberation of the nation, everyone rush with me." ”

Don't talk about tactics, just say that their will to fight is indeed very strong, the soldiers rushed over the net with guns, and the brothers in front died, so naturally the brothers in the back row made up for it.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but think of a poem, it doesn't matter if you cut off your head, as long as you are true, kill Xia Minghan and later generations.

Later, there were a lot of people, who went forward and followed one another, although they died a little unjustly, but Zhang Fakui was at the same level as himself, and he had no right to accuse anything, and even if he said something in the past, it was more likely to cause disputes between the First Army and the Fourth Army, so Liu Yuan could only watch from behind.

Zhang Fakui is really a fierce man, more than a dozen charges, waves of people died, and he never gave up.

Until Chen Shuming came to Liu Yuan, "Deputy Commander Liu, you see that we can't go on like this, Zhang Fakui is a fool, and I can't erase the following to come to you, but I can't bear to let my brothers die miserably, so you can send troops." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, "They are all revolutionary brothers, and they should send troops, after saying that, Liu Yuan waved his hand to Hu Zongnan, and the eldest brother ordered the artillery, shell their positions for me, and let our soldiers follow the artillery points, and the infantry and artillery will coordinate to occupy their positions."

The soldiers of the 3rd Division stepped on the artillery point and rushed to the position at the Tingsi Bridge, but they only rushed up, and before they could expand the results of the battle, they encountered the enemy's powerful firepower counterattack.

The enemy's desperate counterattack is definitely a test for the third division, Liu Yuan looked at everything in front of him with a telescope from afar, and it was really shocking, the direct army was still very capable of fighting.

Zhang Fakui looked at everything in front of him with a shocked face, he really didn't believe it, he forced to charge more than a dozen times without success, the third division tightly shelled, and the soldiers rushed up with the artillery point.

What is even more commendable is to rely on the enemy's position and block the counterattack of the enemy on the spot.

Zhang Fakui's face was flushed with excitement, and he said to the adjutant who was on the body, "Hurry up and inform the regiment commanders, rush up immediately, and we will fight the Tingsi Bridge." ”

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, our third division also missed this time." ”

This time, I have to admit that the Third Division finally met the enemy, the pistol team of the direct army, all Mauser pistols, and the veterans with one in each hand, like the machine guns, have powerful firepower, and directly beat the soldiers of our Third Division who had just rushed into the local position unable to raise their heads, and the casualties became more and more serious.

At the same time, it can be seen from a distance that the other side has reconstructed the machine gun position, and the soldiers at the front are very dangerous.

At the moment when Liu Yuan lost his mind, the direct army actually carried out a counter-charge against the third division, and directly mixed with the third division, and the casualties immediately increased.

"Withdraw." Liu Yuan said to Cao Yuan.

"Division commander, why don't I lead the troops to rush once, I often do this during the Eastern Expedition." Cao Yuan took the initiative to ask for it.

"You are the chief of staff, not the commando, you call Wang Yaowu for me." Liu Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Commander, you were still ...... a few days ago," Cao Yuan said unconvinced.

"I'm the division commander, I've got the final say, call me quickly." Liu Yuan said with a slight sullenness.

"Hey." Cao Yuan patted his thigh and walked out of the command headquarters.

After a while, Wang Yaowu ran in in a hurry, "Division commander, is there any task, you say, I, Wang Yaowu, will definitely be able to complete it for you." ”

"Okay, you go and assassinate Wu Peifu to me now." Liu Yuan lit a cigarette for the staff officers around him and said with a smile.

"Commander, aren't you kidding me? Assassinate Wu Peifu, I don't have that ability. Wang Yaowu said with a bitter face.

"Isn't this over, if you don't have such a big ability, don't always brag, it's good to be arrogant, but arrogance must be kept in your heart, and you still have to be cautious in doing things, how many times have I said you, doesn't the confinement of Head Ye work?" Liu Yuan pointed at Wang Yaowu and said.

"Division Commander, I was wrong, don't talk about Commander Ye, I will definitely listen to your low-key life and high-profile work in the future." Wang Yaowu lowered his head and said.

"Okay, don't be like a wronged little daughter-in-law, just remember, I'll tell you about the task you want to perform, you can listen to me."

"Commander, just say it, I'm dying." Wang Yaowu said.

"I heard that the independent regiment, which is a reserve, has set off just now, and I don't know where to go, right?" Liu Yuan asked.

"Rub, I still want to compare with Lin Biao just now? As a result, they went to the camp of the independent regiment, and there was no one, but their independent regiment was said to have suffered heavy losses and few people, and the principal did not expect them to fight any tough battles, so they could go wherever they liked. Wang Yaowu said nonchalantly.

"I said that you kid don't use your brain, what kind of person is Ye Ting, since he has disappeared, he must have found a fighter, let me tell you, if we continue to fight like this, we will definitely make a wedding dress for someone else." Liu Yuan said with a look of hatred that iron does not become steel.

"Commander, are you saying that we have been used," Wang Yaowu said with his fists clenched and gritted his teeth.

"I mean, if we keep fighting, brainless people will be used. You see who in the command seems to be brainless, except for you, of course. Liu Yuan said.

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, the entire command headquarters burst into laughter, and Wang Yaowu was also a little embarrassed, "Division commander, Yaowu knows that he is wrong, so hurry up and get off the task." ”

"If you were me, what would you order at this moment?" Liu Yuan asked.

Wang Yaowu is not a pedantic person, but his grades in the past were relatively good, and he developed an arrogant appearance, after being hit by Liu Yuan a few times, he also knew that he would think about everything, Wang Yaowu thought about it and said.

"If I were you, I would order Wang Yaowu to lead a team of elite soldiers over the mountains and mountains, and after sparing the enemy, he would directly cut them in the back row."

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "It's not stupid, how many soldiers are in a team?" Liu Yuan asked.

"A thousand people," Wang Yaowu thought about it, he was only a small officer, and if he said too much, he might not be able to bring it.

"There are only a thousand people, you think you are more powerful than Ye Ting, but you are an old soldier." Liu Yuan dialed it.

"That's two thousand, there are not many brothers who can fight in our third division, and no matter how many people there are, first, the mountain roads are not easy to walk, and second, my military rank is too low, and I can't bring so many people." Wang Yaowu said embarrassedly.

"Zhilu Dao has a low military rank, look for you Senior Shoushan, Senior Yudong want a thousand people each, give me a good beating, explode their chrysanthemums, fight well, I will let you be a lieutenant colonel when I turn back." Liu Yuan waved his hand, this matter was decided.

Nie Rongzhen looked at Wang Yaowu, who ran out of the hall with a smile, with a worried look on his face, "Is this kid okay?" I can't see it. ”

"If he can't do it, there won't be a few people who can, I can't let the officers of the first and second phases do everything, I have to give the newcomers a chance to stand out, otherwise these newly graduated juniors will be dissatisfied with us old seniors."
