Chapter 130: The First Battle of Jiujiang
The night gradually deepened, and Liu Yuan was surrounded by officers at all levels, of course, everyone was used to the sudden appearance of Xiao Xiucai, because Liu Yuan used talents in an eclectic manner, and even a reclusive master like Dadao Wang Wu could be recruited, and it didn't matter if he found a little Xiucai who spoke in a crepe.
"Zuo Quan, you first tell you about the information we just got." Liu Yuan said to Zuo Quan, Zuo Quan is also very excited, the deadline staff is not at all, and even Zuo Quan's head is much bigger, but since analyzing Liu Yuan's battle plan, Zuo Quan found that as long as he is surprised, it is very possible to take Nanchang, and even the whole territory of Jiangxi, and all his words will have a lot of confidence.
Zuo Quan held a piece of paper in his hand, smiled and said, "Although the big war is imminent, you don't have to worry so much, according to the latest intelligence, President Chiang Kai-shek's combat strength in Jiangxi is really quite strong, of which Zhu Peide, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Front Army, sent two armies to be the Ninth Army and the Third Army, about 45,000 people stationed in various parts of Jiangxi, and at the same time, in order to stabilize the rule, Zhu Peide also sent the Sixth Army, stationed near Nanchang, if there is a battle, not only the Sixth Army can rush to Nanchang's aid at any time, At the same time, Nanchang was also defended by a large number of garrison troops.
To tell the truth, Zhu Peide's men are more capable of fighting, but we are very fortunate that it is part of the troops of the Second Front Army that is responsible for defending the defense of Jiujiang, the commander-in-chief is Zhang Fakui, and the actual commander in charge is Zhu Huiri, the commander of the 11th Army, and the 20th Army, the commander of the army, He Long, is stationed in coordination. The number of the two armies is not very large, a total of more than 30,000 people, but He Long is very capable of fighting, he is a person who does the revolution, and slowly climbs to the position of army commander, to say that the command ability is not worse than everyone who is doing it, all of us had better be prepared As for their deployment situation, everyone thinks that we continue to take the train and go to Anhui, and all the other parties are not defenseless. ”
After Zuo Quan finished speaking, he nodded and went back to the ground, marching and fighting is like this, no matter how difficult the situation may be. After Zuo Quan finished speaking, Nie Rongzhen extinguished the cigarette in his mouth and said to Liu Yuan, "I heard that Commander He Long seems to have some relationship with the CP, do you want to let the dark pile contact him, for this Eastern Crusade CP is very supportive, if General He Long supports us, or if we release a little water, our pressure will be much less."
"What are you looking for them? They are now thinking about controlling our troops every day, of course, they will find those generals who lead the troops when they have the opportunity, but General He Long is also an iron-blooded soldier, how can he be influenced by those parties? Moreover, we are in the Eastern Crusade, and it is a struggle between the strength of the left wing of our Kuomintang and the strength of the right, if we let the CP participate, it will be chaotic, and we should not be like Chiang Kai-shek. Deng Yanda's secretary is also traveling with the army at this moment, although he has no military power, but as a former member of the Political Department, there are still many people who know him, and everyone also thinks about all his suggestions.
Everyone looked at Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan was also very helpless, this Mr. He Longhe is an authentic Hunanese, he is grumpy to death, and he fights desperately, which makes his troops very similar to his temper, all let Liu Yuan do it with him, Liu Yuan also has a little contact, but what Secretary Deng Yanda said just now is right, this is an internal matter of the Kuomintang, and CP cannot be involved, "Just fight, what are you afraid of, if General He Long is really a believer in the prime minister, I think he will support us." As for the rumors that he has a close relationship with the CP, I believe it, after all, the CP has been very thoughtful about our troops lately. If they have contact with that unit, we need to ask them to help contact them, and it is estimated that a third of the troops will need to ask them for help, and they have developed very quickly in the past two years."
Liu Yuan's words were somewhat sarcastic, but Liu Yuan did not deepen on this issue, but continued, "Although Zhang Fakui has a lot of troops, some of his subordinates are indeed very strong in combat, especially Ye Ting's 24th Division, Zhou Shidi's 25th Division, and Cai Tingkai's 10th Division, these are all very good combat effectiveness troops, everyone is very careful if they encounter it, we will attack Jiujiang City tonight."
The south of Jiujiang City is mountainous, the most famous is Lushan, the north faces the river, the west faces the lake, the channel is wide and narrow, winding and coiling, it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, Zhang Fakui also dreamed that Liu Yuan would be bold and reckless to attack his troops, and he knew that although he hooked up with Chiang Kai-shek, he still had a very good relationship with Wang Jingwei at the moment, and the Wuhan government once asked him to crusade against Chiang Kai-shek, but he thought that he was not Chiang Kai-shek's opponent, so he never sent troops, and he never thought that the Tenth Army would have his own idea for no reason.
That night, hundreds of large ships quietly set off from Yanzidu, and there are still many primitive fortifications left over from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the river, and there are countless wrecks on the shore, all of which prove that this was once a place of bloody battles.
Zhu Huiri is an extremely arrogant person, or he thinks that there has been no war in the Kefu area for a long time, when Liu Yuan passed through his water defense area, he did not find a single ship of his, but he found several small boats of He Long's Twentieth Army, Zhu Huiri's defense area, Zhu Huiri doesn't care about himself, He Long has been patrolling here, and Liu Yuan didn't think about it, and he didn't bother to think about it, but those small boats were unlucky.
Originally, these small boats thought that a large caravan was passing here, but when they got closer, they found that the ships were slowly filled with elite soldiers with loaded guns, and before they even had time to shoot, someone had already boarded their small boat, and then they were captured inexplicably. ”
There were brave soldiers, and when they saw that the soldiers who captured themselves were also wearing the blue sky and white sun emblem, they had the courage to ask, "Sir, we are all National Revolutionary Army, what are you doing to us, isn't this cannibalism?" ”
"It's true that we are the National Revolutionary Army, but we are the Tenth Group Army, we are going to President Jiang to seek justice, all the brothers have wronged you." It was a veteran of the reconnaissance battalion that Zhang Lingfu once led.
"Sir, to be honest, our Twentieth Army has long been dissatisfied with Lao Chiang, and our army commander has been pondering whether to cooperate with CP to do Chiang Kai-shek's vote these days, or you contact our army commander, let's cooperate, your Tenth Army is a heroic army, and now it is called a group army, if we cooperate, we will definitely be able to take Jiangxi."
"Alas, you kid is quite bold, you don't look like a soldier, kid tell me your identity, maybe I can help you introduce you. Meet our Commander-in-Chief. The veteran smiled and tightened the rope on this guy's body, for fear that he would run away.
"Sir, how can you do this to me, our Twentieth Army is preparing to negotiate with the CP tonight, we are preparing to revolt against Chiang Kai-shek on July 1, I am the representative sent by Commander He to negotiate with the CP."
