After sending away the doubtful Zuo Gongxian and Yu Daonan, Liu Mingzhao hurriedly sent people to invite the deputy brigade commander Zhu Daizhen, the chief of staff of the brigade, Deng Xihou, the commander of the Fifth Regiment of Mao Xin, Deng Xihou, the head of the Sixth Regiment, Lu Chao, and others to discuss the plan for the southern expedition

After listening to Liu Mingzhao's introduction of the situation, Deng Xihou took the lead in saying: "Brigade commander, this is a dangerous soldier, although the combat strength of the Guangdong army is unknown, but after all, the number of people is there, we are alone, and the soldiers, ammunition, and food are not able to be supplied. Once the war does not go well, there is a strong enemy in front and no reinforcements in the back, I am afraid that we will die and have no place to be buried! ”

Zhu Daizhen looked away from the map and said slowly: "The so-called 'don't think about winning, think about defeat first', Jin Kang's words are quite reasonable, but the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, how can there be no risk in fighting?" And as the brigade commander said, it's not that we have to be heroes, but that the First Division of the Hunan Army really can't make money to bring them, and we have to keep enough troops to guard against them from time to time, but it's better to go south alone and be relaxed, in case they do something on the battlefield, then we really have no place to die! ”

Liu Mingzhao said: "You don't have to worry too much, in fact, the situation in Guangdong is not as bad as everyone imagined, first of all, we are not alone, we are not alone, there is at least a group of Yin Shuoquan behind us to provide support, we don't have to worry about it, in addition, Liu will also implore Premier Sun to send planes to help our army reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and if necessary, he can even use planes to bomb the enemy's strategic points, so that they are at a loss, and the power of the planes is thought to be something that everyone has seen. In the battle of the Burgan River on the border between Xinjiang and Mongolia, two planes wiped out thousands of rebels; By the time we attacked Hunan, a few bombs would have left the Hunan army defenseless

"Secondly, although there are many soldiers in Guangdong, they are fighting in their own province, they must defend everywhere, and their forces are bound to be scattered, which is already at a disadvantage, and according to previous intelligence, there are many factions within the Guangdong army, and the military orders are not smooth; Some of the elite soldiers have been loaned by Hu Zhantang to support Jiangxi, and it is difficult to withdraw to Guangdong for a while; In addition, Long Zicheng in Wuzhou, Guangxi, also intends to fish in troubled waters, and can also contain a large part of the strength of the Guangdong army, because of these reasons, the enemy in front of us rarely exceeds our own strength

"Moreover, the most important requirement for this attack on Guangdong is the word 'fast', because the time left for us is very limited, it is estimated that there will only be about a month from today, so we can only be outwitted, I don't know if you have heard the story of 'Ku Ding Solving the Cow' in "Zhuangzi"? In the story, it is said that the knife in Ku Ding's hand took 19 years to kill thousands of cows, and the blade was still as sharp as if it had just been sharpened. Because he knows the structure of the cow's skeleton well, the blade moves between the gaps, and naturally it is unscathed

"With the eye of the airplane, we can follow the strategy of 'solving the cattle in the territory of the Cooks' in this battle in Guangdong, criticize the big he, guide the big guys, avoid the real and make the false, and before attacking the city of Guangzhou, unless we have to do so, try to avoid competing with each other, so that we can preserve the combat strength of our army as much as possible and lay a solid foundation for the bottom of Guangdong."

But Mao Xin said: "Even if the plane can rise to the sky and enter the earth and do anything, in the final analysis, we still belong to the 'guest army' in the art of war, and want to use a guest army to travel thousands of miles in the unfamiliar Hunan and Guangdong provinces, and finally successfully smash the Huanglong Tan Li Zhu, but I am afraid that it will not be easy!" The brigade commander would not have thought of this, and the reason why the brigade commander had to take on this important task was because he had other difficulties, right? ”

Liu Mingzhao sighed slightly: "What Nu Gang said is good, Liu does have a last resort, everyone should know Liu's experience of starting a family, right?" ”

Lv Chao said: "My subordinates have heard that it is said that when the Xinhai Road Movement arose, the brigade commander abandoned his pen and joined the student army from the government middle school, and he escorted Mr. Feng Freedom to the north to meet Premier Sun, and as a result, Premier Sun was shocked when he saw the brigade commander, and tried his best to retain you as the captain of his guards, and since then the brigade commander has soared into the sky, first serving as the 92nd standard commander of the 46th Mixed Association at the age of a weak crown, and after the Sichuan Army aided Hunan, he served as the brigade commander of the third brigade of the second division of the Hubei Army, becoming the youngest general in the people

"Because the story is quite legendary, almost everyone in the Sichuan army is familiar with it! Whenever everyone talks about this matter, one is to praise Premier Sun's eyes like a torch, and you can see at a glance that the brigade commander is extraordinary, and in just two years, the brigade commander has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a brigade commander, and he is worthy of the reputation of being a 'saint in the world', and he is worthy of today's situation;

Liu Mingzhao said with a wry smile: "Premier Sun has been repeatedly promoted in the next place, so he knows the kindness of encounters, and it is difficult for Liu to repay him with broken bones, but Liu is in a high position at a young age, and he is happy and worried in his heart, and the worry is worse than joy, and he trembles day by day as if he is walking on thin ice, for fear that there will be any mistakes, which will damage Premier Sun's understanding of people."

Zhu Daizhen said: "The reputation is there, and the slander does not have to be the same with the long journey!" ”

Liu Mingzhao shook his head: "Although the generals of the Western Army are known for their young age and lack of qualifications compared with Beiyang, Liu is different from Zhao Xingzhi, Governor Cheng Huchen, Governor Chiang Kai-shek and others, because he is neither from the Jingshi School, nor graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, nor is he from Prime Minister Sun's palace, but Premier Sun is in love. The only way to fight bravely on the battlefield is to kill the enemy in blood! ”

Everyone was silent for a while

Liu Mingzhao paused and said: "All of you here are all children of Sichuan, and you have no family background at all. Now that he has been promoted to this high position in two or three years, are you not grateful and eager to serve the country? At present, the four provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Anhui, regardless of the country's poverty and the opposition of the National Assembly, wantonly declare independence for their own selfish desires and provoke a civil war. ”

But Mouxin encouraged everyone in another way: "What the brigade commander said is extremely true! It is said that 'the prince will have a kind of Xiangning', this is true, since the Xinhai provinces, the change of governors is like a marquee, among which there are many negative dealers slaughtering dogs and leading cars to sell pulp, which fully confirms this point I originally thought that I was born late, missed a great opportunity, now it seems that God has no favoritism at all, and now the opportunity has come to us again, it depends on whether you can seize it

"Originally, the brigade commander led us to attack Changsha first, and the position of the governor of Hunan should be our brigade commander, and the regiment commanders can also make a division commander and brigade commander, so that there is green smoke on the ancestral grave, who knows that Tan Zuan is actually a soft egg, hot he is an immortal, and when he sees our army coming, he obediently raises the flag and surrenders, so that our dreams are all in vain! Fortunately, after Hunan and Guangdong, we must grit our teeth and take Guangzhou in one go, regardless of whether Hu Zhantang's hammer surrenders or not, we will definitely pull him down and take turns to do it, and it should be our house today! ”

Deng Xihou, Lu Chao and others laughed together: "Exactly!" Let Hu Zhantang's turtle son climb for Lao Tzu, and the position of governor should be let our brigade commander sit! ”

"Don't talk nonsense and let others listen to jokes!" Liu Mingzhao also laughed, and immediately said: "Although we are not afraid of the Cantonese army, we can't take it lightly, especially in the operational deployment, we must be more cautious If we swear to go away like this, but we come back from defeat, then it is really ridiculous and generous!" ”

Everyone hurriedly put away their laughter, and straightened their chests and stomachs: "Please show the brigade commander!" ”

Liu Mingzhao said: "Although Governor Tan Zu'an announced the change of flag, Hunan is one of the nests of the Kuomintang, and the radicals of the revolutionary party are everywhere. Moreover, Zhao Yiwu, the commander of the First Division of the Hunan Army, was inclined to revolution and had an irreversible relationship with Huang Keqiang, a veteran of the Kuomintang, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no collusion, so before handing over the defense with Brigade Commander Yin Shuoquan, the Fifth Regiment must do a good job in the defense inside and outside Changsha City, and the Yujie Brigade Commander was responsible for this matter

"Prior to this, I discussed with Yu Daonan, the deputy chairman of the Hunan Provincial Assembly, and the commander of the Hunan Provincial Defense Reserve, that in order to prevent Zhao Yiwu and his officers and soldiers from launching a rebellion, it is necessary to reorganize the garrisons stationed in Changsha and the surrounding areas, and further collect the guns and ammunition in their hands, so that they have the heart and power to do anything to reorganize and collect the matter by the Sixth Regiment, and I am responsible for negotiating with Zhao Yiwu and others."

"What about the duties of the subordinates?" But Mao Kimchi said

Liu Mingzhao said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will contact Changsha Station, and prepare to go south as soon as possible, once there is a free wagon, you will lead the artillery battalion, the engineering baggage battalion, and the medical quartermaster communication unit to go south in the first stage, and after getting off in Zhuzhou, you can let the artillery battalion, engineering, and baggage battalion advance according to the plan, and you will lead the engineer company and the quartermaster communication department to pave roads along the line of Hengshan, Hengyang, Leiyang, Chenzhou, and Yizhang, prepare grain and grass, arrange the station, and wait for the main force to go south!" Do you have any questions? ”

"Nope!" Everyone got up and replied in unison

"Then let's go our separate ways!"

Sending off his subordinates, Liu Mingzhao prepared a telegram with his general idea of attacking Guangdong and sent it to Sun Yuanqi and Yang Du in Beijing overnight, asking them to approve it

In this way, the campaign to attack Guangdong slowly kicked off, and the curtain was to be continued
