C38 Expansion of military strength

Li Boyang smiled. This battle went much more smoothly than he had expected and he said: "You will be able to get to the city faster than I expected. Remember this."

"Thank you Battalion Commander."

Yu Jishi's face blossomed with a smile, the battle had truly gone smoothly, all the way until the end. After this battle, the team's spirit would definitely change greatly.

"Go get a bowl of ginger soup from Old Wang. I have something to tell you after that." Li Boyang smiled and waved his hand.

Yu Jishi nodded and ran towards the kitchen.

"Hurry and untie Brigadier Wang and Chief of Staff Xiao." Only then did Li Boyang remember the two people in the room. He turned his head and spoke to the soldier.

Waiting for the soldiers to release the bindings, Li Boyang stood up and said: "Chen Liangming rebelled against the Prime Minister's revolution, and everyone has the right to kill him. Today, Revolutionary Army's conquest to the east is aimed at eliminating Chen Liangming's reactionary warlords, are you going to be a good comrade loyal to the revolution, or are you going to be a loyal lackey to Chen Liangming?"

Wang Qingde moved his wrist that had been tied with a hemp rope for a long time. He looked at the Student Army Battalion Commander in front of him, who was younger than her son, and shook her head with a miserable expression: "How could the defeated army commander dare to mention loyalty to Chen Liangming?

A trace of light flashed out of Li Boyang's eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, in a bit, the two of you come with us to get Long Chuan and Zi Jin."

Hearing that, the chief of staff, Xiao Qian, knew that the Revolutionary Army wanted to use the two of them to take over two cities. Although he was unwilling, but the situation was better than the other party's.

Not long after, Yu Jishi walked out of the kitchen while wiping his mouth. In his hand was a fresh steamed bun, upon seeing the untied bread, he was startled for a moment, and turned to look at Li Boyang.

Li Boyang nodded, and said: "I have decided to send Lan Yundong's envoy to Brigadier Wang to retrieve Long Chuan, and Yu Haibin's Radix Aconiti followed Xiao Qian to obtain the purple gold. You will lead Kowloon to capture the captives. Liu Chichen's octasia will be in charge of the city's defense. "

"Alright."

Yu Jishi did not hesitate at all. Taking down the Wuhua was already a great contribution, it was impossible for him not to give his fellow students a chance to eat meat. He immediately turned around and brought the soldiers to bring Wang Qing De and Xiao Gan to the special task force and Radix Aconiti.

"Tell them to take down two cities and recruit troops on the spot. If they want to be Battalion Commanders, then recruit a Battalion. However, there is one thing that cannot be used as an act." Initially, when he was in Company Commander, he felt that he could bring along a battalion of troops, but now that he had become a Battalion Commander, he felt that his troops were extremely tight. Now that the pars communis had sent him out, he could freely display his abilities.

When Yu Jishi heard this, he immediately became happy, and said while rubbing his fists: "Battalion Commander, it's fine if we are recruiting soldiers in Wuhua right?"

Li Boyang looked at him and nodded. Yu Jishi ran out.

When Lan Yundong heard he was going to capture Long Chuan, his entire being was like a drug addict, he did not waste a single second and immediately gathered the special forces, bringing Wang Deqing straight towards Long Chuan.

Long Hua to Zi Jin were a bit further away, the first thing Yu Haibin did after receiving the news was to let the kitchen boy bury the wok and cook, and then he sharpened his weapon, Li Bu Yang, to get the only cannon in the entire camp. With the cannon in hand, he was even more unhurried, and waited until dawn to rush to Zi Jin.

In the early hours of the morning of the 19th, a group of 3rd Battalion special forces were instructed to successfully attack Long Chuan, capturing 500 guards, and capturing 300 guns.

On the evening of the 19th, 3rd Battalion taught a group of soldiers to blast open the gates of the city using a mountain cannon. They captured more than 270 enemy troops and captured more than 40 enemy cavalry and horses.

On the 19th day, after teaching a group of two groups, the Cantonese Army turned and attacked Xing Ning's city. Although Xing Ning did not run Xing Ning City as dangerous as it was, after running it for many years and adding to that the amount of troops that had poured in recently, he decided to personally take charge of the city. As he guarded the city well, he transferred reinforcements to the city in an attempt to delay the Student Army under the strong city.

Although Xing Ning was only a county, he was able to consign Dongjiang River s to the upper reaches of Han River, the Mei County s to the east and the Fengshun to the south, the Wuhua s to the west and Long Chuan to the north, and the Pingyuan to the north.

In the early morning of March 19th, the principal of Huangpu Military Academy, Jiang Jieshi, led more than 3,600 soldiers of the Eastern Struggle for the Right flank and arrived at the west Yongtai Pass in Xing Ning City and Fuxing Maotang.

Due to the calamities caused by Lin Hu's disorderly army when the army was defeated, the people of the East Expeditionary Force welcomed them wherever they went. Especially the Mentor's Guild, who had a high political awareness. The masses affectionately called them the "Student Army".

Before sending troops to Xing Ning, Director Zhou, who had a rich experience in political work, rushed to prepare a set of chest badges for the Mentor's Guild. On the chest badges were written the slogan "Not afraid of death, not wanting to die, not willing to pay, not wanting to live in a civilian house".

The East Expeditionary Force, who was stationed in the west wing of the city, slept in the corner of the temple at the head of the hall and in the grain drying field. The peasants kept making way for them; they wanted vegetables and firewood, they paid in advance, they were kind, and they enjoyed the support and love of the masses.

That day, the East Expeditionary Force's entire army had come out to fight, the four walls of the city attacked Xing Ning fiercely, but under Lin Hu's watch, Chen Jun fought with his life on the line, repeatedly forcing the Student Army to retreat. In the afternoon, reinforcements from the Mei County circled around to the south gate and encircled it.

The teaching second group s that were placed in the southern gate split up into battalions and battled against the enemy. The battle had turned white-hot the moment it started, so Lin Hu gave this reinforcement a death order, afraid of the enemy, they would be executed on the spot. Both sides fought in the hills of the south gate repeatedly. Bai Renzhan alone had fought four matches.

And after Xing Ning's Lin Hu found out that the reinforcements were right outside the city, he rushed out of the south gate continuously towards the two groups.

On one hand, the teaching second group in charge of the south gate had to deal with Lin Hu's continuous surprise attacks, and on the other hand, had to stop the enemy's reinforcements. When the battle was intense, Shen Yingshi personally led his guards to rush to the battlefield. After half a day of intense fighting, only with the support of Chen Cheng's cannon did the enemies retreat.

It was night. The two armies fought at the Shen Gang Mountain outside of Xing Ning City throughout the night. Early in the morning on the second day, Lin Hu had ordered the reinforcements from the water outlet to come.

After a long discussion with Gale, Jiang Jieshi decided to circle Xing Ning and not fight him. They only needed to teach a group of people to watch over Lin Hu's troops, while the combined teaching second group and teaching second group's forces first seized the high ground of Shen Gang Mountain, which was occupied by the enemy, under the protection of the cannons. Then, they took the opportunity to fight against the enemy's three groups in the Nanji Bridge.

This was the newly established headquarters of the army. The telegraph poles were erected high up, and staff officers continued to rush into the headquarters amidst the heavy rain, carrying the battle situation with them. The heavy rain also could not cover up the telegraph sounds of the headquarters, as well as the noise made by the staff officers.

"Principal, the enemy took back the Nanji Bridge again."

Chen Gang rushed into the headquarters under the heavy rain and said anxiously: "The enemy's offense is too fierce, all First Brigade soldiers are being forced to retreat, please send more reinforcements."

Ever since the battle at cotton lake, Jiang Jieshi had been more calm in this kind of vicious battle. He leaned on the map and frowned, without even turning his head he said, "There are no more soldiers to send. Please state your spirit and overcome any difficulties. "

He estimated the situation of the Ninth Brigade and felt that if the First Brigade were to fight day after day, they would probably be at the end of their tether. If they were to be defeated by the enemy, then the entire Student Army front would be shaken.

"I'm afraid the First Brigade won't be able to hold on for long."

Jiang Jieshi did not care about what others said, but he believed in what Gallant said. When he heard this, he frowned and said hesitantly, "But now there are indeed no more soldiers to send."

As he said that, he thought of something and asked Telegraph operator, "Is there any news from 3rd Battalion?"

Telegraph operator picked up the latest telegram, and replied: "Reporting to Principal, 3rd Battalion's latest telegram was sent at 3 in the morning. Battalion Commander Li will immediately lead the troops to return and provide assistance."

"Where are we?" Jiang Jieshi asked again.

Gallen calculated the speed and time of the march and stared at the map for a while before saying, "The rain is too heavy today, I'm afraid the 3rd Battalion will be able to rush back in the evening."

Jiang Jieshi remained silent. Far water could not catch his near thirst, so he asked again, "Can you shrink your defense line?"

Gallen shook his head and said flatly, "Absolutely not. The enemy troops still have the advantage in numbers. If we contract our defensive line, we must definitely combine the enemy forces. At that time, it will be another cotton lake fight."

Jiang Jieshi frowned, the reason why he was able to defeat Lin Hu in a battle within the cotton lake was due to luck. Lin Hu was currently at Xing Ning's base, and adding to that the surrounding enemy troops were still continuously returning to provide reinforcements to Xing Ning, he was unaffected by the situation, and was hoping to win a battle with the cotton lake.

Jiang Jieshi's heart was in a rush, as he continuously punched the map with his fist. After a long while, he suddenly raised his head, and decisively said: "Chen Geng, I order you to take the staff from the headquarters and my guards to support the Ninth Brigade, and tell Chen Zhuo that he must firmly defend and protect the Nanji Bridge until 3rd Battalion Li Boyang returns."

Chen Gang nodded his head heavily. He waved his hand and ordered the staff members of the headquarters to retrieve their weapons. He then shouted out to the headquarters' guards. There were more than 70 people gathered here.

"Follow me." Chen Geng rushed into the rain with reinforcements.

The enemy support headquarters was located at the south side of Nanji Bridge. On one side, it was Lin Hu reporting the military information from the Student Army to him, while reporting the progress of the reinforcements to Lin Hu.

The commander was Brigadier, who came from the Guangdong Army and was an old subordinate of Lin Hu. This time, in order to reinforce Xing Ning, he brought the troops of the Mei County and rushed out of the city, fighting with all his might, trying to suppress the First Brigade.
