"The commander-in-chief can't say that. Guangdong is our foundation. It is the place where the former president has been running for many years. There is our mass base there. Without Guangdong, even if we have Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian, what are we with other warlords? The difference? We are not even as good as other warlords, because we are outsiders!" Zhang Qun stood up when he heard Chiang Kai-shek's question, and said excitedly.

"Don't be so excited about Xingting, the loss of Guangzhou may not be a good thing for us." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly, and waved his hand to signal Zhang Qun to sit down.

"How do you say that?" Zhang Qun was a little puzzled, how did this become a good thing again.

"This time Guangzhou is occupied, our biggest loss is actually the talent." Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Qun and said.

"That's right, it is indeed a talent." Zhang Qun thought for a while and returned.

"Hehe, that's right. What we lost were talents, but even if we regain Guangzhou, those talents cannot be regained." Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile.

"This..., that being said. But Guangzhou is the capital after all, so losing it like this would be a heavy blow to the morale of the entire army." Zhang Qun had to admit that what Chiang Kai-shek said made sense, but he always felt a little weird of.

"The recovery of morale. It is not necessary to take back Guangzhou. Of course, Guangzhou must be taken back. Our First Army, Fourth Army, and Third Army have already set off. But I think the holy land of our revolution is not in Guangzhou, but here !” Chiang Kai-shek said, stood up, picked up the baton and pointed to a place on the map.

Wuchang!

Chiang Kai-shek believed that this was the holy city of the Chinese revolution.Without the Wuchang Uprising, there would be no later Republic of China.Of course, the important thing is not that he thinks so, but that the soldiers think so.

"It was here 15 years ago that the ancestors of the revolution raised the flag of righteousness and fired the first shot to overthrow the Qing government. Although we are facing difficulties now, compared with 15 years ago, our ancestors, we are much stronger. We have There are hundreds of thousands of revolutionary fighters, and we have tens of millions of people who support us. Although Guangzhou is lost, we still have Wuchang! To defend Wuchang is to defend the country!" Chiang Kai-shek's impassioned speech filled the soldiers below with excitement. fighting spirit.

"Defend Wuchang! Defend the country!"

"Defend Wuchang! Defend the country!"

With the resounding slogans, one team after another marched towards Wuchang!

Relatively smooth occupation of Guangzhou.The form of fighting to capture Wuchang is not optimistic.Although the National Defense Forces successfully crossed the river.However, those stationed in Wuchang are fanatical supporters of the Three People's Principles, known as the Steel Army-the ** division expanded from the Ye Ting ** Regiment of the 12th Division of the Fourth Army.

After the surrender of the national army, Chiang Kai-shek took the national army to fight Jiangxi, and Ye Ting was stationed in Wuhan.

Ye Ting believed that after the Northern Expedition captured Zhejiang, it would stop.After all, the Yangtze River was difficult for the Northern Expeditionary Army to cross.Because the navy of the Northern Expedition had only a few old ships, as long as the Beijing government sent the warships into the Yangtze River.The Northern Expeditionary Army had no hope of crossing the river.On the contrary, will the Beijing government take advantage of this opportunity to cross the south of the Yangtze River?Very likely!Ye Ting thought that if it was her, she would never give up this opportunity.

Based on this idea, Ye Ting actively defended Wuchang City, because he knew that once the two sides went to war, Wuchang would be the place to win.He didn't place much hope in the garrison on the riverside. It would be great to be able to hold back the enemy, but if not, Wuchang would be the real battlefield.As long as you hold off the enemy in Wuchang, your reinforcements will arrive soon.

So Ye Ting still felt a little disappointed when he heard that the Jiangbian position had been lost in the morning, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

After withdrawing the retreating troops from the riverside position to Wuchang, Ye Ting sealed the city gate of Wuchang. In his opinion, the defense of Wuchang officially began.

After crossing the river, Yang Hucheng called Wu Qiren, the commander of the 15rd Division, Zhang Zhigong, the commander of the [-]th Division, and Rong Xiao, the commander of the No.[-] Division, for a meeting.

"This is the first time that my brothers and I have fought side by side. Our opponent is Ye Ting, who has always been known for his tough battles. Regarding this attack on Wuchang, I would like to hear your opinions." Yang Hucheng, the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, quickly entered After confirming the role, he said to the three division commanders sitting in the headquarters.

"I think the commander-in-chief is a little too ambitious and destroys his prestige. Ye Ting claims to be able to fight tough battles, but look at who his opponents are? Chen Jiongming from Guangdong and Ye Kaixin from Hunan. They are second-rate troops themselves. The weapons and equipment are not comparable to our National Defense Forces. Back then, thousands of National Defense Forces defeated Shanxi Governor Liu Zhenhua’s [-] Zhensong Army. It was not because Ye Ting was too strong, but because his opponent was too weak. When we meet us this time, let them know What is the Steel Army! What is the Iron Army!" Hearing what Yang Hucheng said, Wu Qiren, the commander of the third division, was not happy at the moment.

"Mr. Wu, don't underestimate the enemy. Ye Ting is indeed a famous person. I have been in Hunan for many years. Whether it is Tingsi Bridge or Hesheng Bridge, they are places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's use it to describe it. , It’s not an exaggeration. As a vanguard, Ye Ting has made many military exploits, so he must be very good at it.” Rong Xiao was originally from Yueyang, Hunan, and was very familiar with some strategic places in Hunan.

"I think Master Rong is right. The commander-in-chief once said that we should despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Back then, Song Jianlin made big mistakes because he underestimated the enemy." , although what Wu Qiren said was the truth, he didn't feel good in his heart, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Actually, there is nothing to discuss. Let me say, we have four divisions, one division and one city gate. How about those who advanced the city first?" Knowing that Wei Hongjun and Zhang Qifeng had already made meritorious service, Wu Qiren wanted to Hurry up and make a contribution, just now Zhang Zhigong moved Song Jianlin out, so Wu Qiren naturally stopped talking about Ye Ting.

"It's good to divide the troops like this. The enemy only has one division. We each rely on our own means and leave to fate." Zhang Zhigong also agreed with Wu Qiren's proposal, and at the same time he secretly held back his strength that he must not lose to you this time.

Two of the commanders of the four divisions agreed, and Yang Hucheng smiled: "Since everyone agrees with Mr. Wu, it's settled. The north gate is handed over to the third division, the east gate is handed over to the fourth division, and the south gate is handed over to the fourth division." No.15 division, Ximen gave us the 23rd division. Do you have any opinions on my assignment?"

"No opinion." Several people replied in unison.

"Okay, since you have no objections, let's go back and prepare. I will report the plan to the chief of staff and wait for orders!"

After the crowd dispersed, Yang Hucheng said to Li Huchen: "I didn't expect Wu Qiren to be so arrogant. It seems that he has to suffer a little bit, so he knows that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the sky.". . )

Chapter 23 The Battle of Wuchang ([-])

---------..

Zhang Anle has been in a good mood these two days, and every morning he wakes up to tease his son.Although this little guy didn't like him, either pissed on him or cried, but this did not prevent Zhang Anle from continuing to tease him.

After teasing my son and going to the general headquarters, there will usually be good news at this time, such as the direct subordinate division conquering XX county, the first division wiped out 1000 enemies, and so on.All in all, things are going in a good direction.

Today, as usual, Zhang Anle happily walked into his office.After sitting down, he picked up the documents on the desk, and the direct division took Sihui County, and the first division took Qingyuan County.

Seeing these news, Zhang Anle's mood would only get better. After flipping through other news, he felt something was wrong.Why is there no information about Wuchang?

"Wang Xiaozhu, come in." Zhang Anle grabbed the phone on the table and asked Wang Xiaozhu to come in.

"Is there no news from Wuchang these days?" Zhang Anle asked Wang Xiaozhu.

"All the battle reports and documents are on your desk, they should be there." Wang Xiaozhu said with a smile.

"Wang Xiaozhu, I asked you if you have any news from Wuchang these days. Answer me, yes or no!" Seeing Wang Xiaozhu's attitude, Zhang Anle asked sharply.

Wang Xiaozhu complained that Zhang Anle was angry. He knew that something was wrong, so he could only tell the truth: "The situation in Wuchang these two days is the same as the previous few days. There is no change, so I didn't report it to you."

"Okay, you go out." Zhang Anle waved his hand in disappointment, letting Wang Xiaozhu out.

Wang Xiaozhu was still a little puzzled, did the commander-in-chief let himself go if he was so easy-going?

Half an hour later, Yang Du brought two soldiers to Wang Xiaozhu's office.

"Minister Yang, this is..." Wang Xiaozhu saw that Yang Du came in with two soldiers, and hurriedly stood up and asked.

"Order of the Commander-in-Chief: Wang Xiaozhu, deputy head of the security regiment of the Commander-in-Chief, no longer serves as the deputy head of the guard regiment, and is recommended to enter the National Defense University for further studies. Zhang Anle, June 15, 25." Yang Du opened the folder and read Zhang Anle asked him to draft the order.

"Adjutant Wang, please sign here." Yang Du took out the pen pinned in his jacket pocket.Pass it to Wang Xiaozhu and say.

"Let me go to the National Defense University for further study. Why do I do this? I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will be unhappy...I want to see him." Wang Xiaozhu quickly argued that going to the National Defense University for further study is definitely not a good thing for him.

"Adjutant Wang, this is the commander-in-chief's order. He doesn't want to see you now. He asked me to send you to the National Defense University to report." Yang Du stopped Wang Xiaozhu and said seriously.

It was only then that Wang Xiaozhu realized that he had made a mistake. He originally thought that Zhang Anle was in a good mood these few days, and the war in Wuchang had not progressed, so don't bother him with these crap.But he didn't know that Zhang Anle was offended.It is even a taboo for all bosses.

From Zhang Anle's point of view, no matter what purpose Wang Xiaozhu had, he could not withhold the documents and reports.Wang Xiaozhu should only be a passer, not a decision maker.

If Zhang Anle decides what documents to read, then this will be messed up.Although Wang Xiaozhu had no other intentions, this was definitely a bad seedling.Zhang Anle originally wanted to turn the big thing into a small thing, but felt that if that was the case, Wang Xiaozhu might get worse in the future.

Zhang Anle originally wanted Wang Xiaozhu to go to the local army to hone his training for a period of time, but after thinking about it, let him go to the National Defense University.I hope he can learn more in the National Defense University in the past two years.Wait for him to mature later.Call him back again.

Zhang Anle finished dealing with Wang Xiaozhu, and asked the staff to send the Wuchang battle report for the past few days.

Only after reading the battle report did Zhang Anle know that five days had passed, not only had Wuchang City not been taken, but the four divisions that attacked the city had suffered heavy casualties.

It is said that Wu Qiren came out of the headquarters that day.Without concealing his dissatisfaction with Yang Hucheng, he said to his adjutant: "I don't know what the commander-in-chief thinks. Let him be the commander-in-chief, and he also knows how to fight?!"

Yang Hucheng reported the plan to Timu Xinge.Timu Xinge agreed with his combat plan.Although the defenders inside have a division, the National Defense Army has advanced weapons and equipment, and the number of troops is so much larger than that of the opponent. It is not a big problem to win Wuchang City.
