"Bang" Yu Jishi slapped the teacup in his hand fiercely to the ground and roared angrily at the direction of the 1st Corps Command, "What did he think of Xue Yue? Do he want to kill the chicken for the monkey to show? Unfortunately, Yu Jishi is not a chicken."

Wang Yaowu, deputy commander of the 74th Army and chief of the 5th Pei, Chen Anbao, commander of the 9th Army, and Ma Junyan, chief of staff of the 36th Army, did not dare to say anything. Chen Anbao was a newcomer and was not familiar with the temper of Yu Jishi, so he did not dare to make a statement casually. Wang Yaowu and Ma Junyan knew Yu Jishi too much, and knew that he would never give up, so it would be useless to persuade him.

This time, Xue Yue seemed to be determined to cure Yu Ji, so that other commanders and commanders would be worried.

But Yu Jishi was not so easy to give in. He has been in the military for so many years, but he doesn’t care about anyone except Chairman Jiang and doesn’t buy anyone’s account. Back then, he was the head of the security department in Zhejiang. Because of a disagreement, he dared to beat Lu’s confidant Yang Mianzhong in front of the then Chairman of Zhejiang Province, and openly insulted Lu, which made Lu Diping, the old warlord, very unable to come to Taiwan.

In a word, Yu Jishi's arrogance is famous. He is not only a student of Huangpu, but also a native of Fenghua, but also a distant nephew of Chairman Jiang. These identities are there, and Yu Jishi cannot do it. Since Huangpu, no one can do anything to Yu Jishi.

"Chief of Staff." Yu Jishi turned around and stared at Ma Junyan and said angrily, "Send a report to Wuhan immediately, saying that our army suffered too much casualties in the Battle of Lanfeng, the veterans were exhausted, and the newly recruited recruits were not trained, so they were embarrassed to fight, so they applied to be transferred to the rear for training | Please refer to the commission to snatch the snatch."

Just Yu Jishi had such a big tone, but he really didn't dare to get into trouble with Jiang.

Chiang Kai-shek really defended Yu Jishi. If he did something like Yu Jishi, it would be light for Chiang Kai-shek to dismiss him. However, there was a difference in closeness and distantness. Yu Jishi was really different. After receiving the telegram, the first thing that happened to Jiang was not to go to the telegram to scold him, but to find Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, to discuss countermeasures.

Chen Cheng didn't dare to make a random statement. Xue Yue and Yu Ji's time had already caused a stir in the Ninth War Zone. As the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, Chen Cheng certainly did not want the situation to continue to develop, or even lose control, but the problem is that this matter is indeed not easy to deal with.

In theory, Chen Cheng tends to Xue Yue, believing that Yu Jishi's contradictory to Xue Yue must not be long-lasting. If Yu Jishi is not severely punished, Xue Yue's prestige in the 1st Corps will be gone, and then he can only replace the general in the last battle.

But emotionally, Chen Cheng was inclined to Yu Jishi, because Yu Jishi was a man from Fenghua and was also the nephew of Chairman Jiang's distant house. Chairman Jiang admired Yu Jishi very much, and Chen Cheng always followed Chairman Jiang. What Chairman Jiang liked was what he admired. The young chairman's nickname was not for nothing.

Chairman Jiang repeatedly asked, and Chen Chengcai said cautiously: "Committee, why don't you change Master Leng Xin to come?"

Chen Cheng's suggestion is actually mixed with it. He neither transferred the 36th Army of Yu Jishi from De'an, nor split the 74th Army as Xue Yue's wishes, and transferred the 58th Division to Xingzi alone. The advantage of doing this is that it will not weaken Xue Yue's prestige in the 1st Corps, and at the same time, it will maintain Yu Jishi to a limited extent.

Chairman Jiang thought about it, but finally said, "Let's transfer the 36th Army."

Chairman Jiang all expressed his opinion, and of course Chen Cheng did as he did immediately. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek made a decision this time, because Xue Yue and Yu Jishi were already in a stalemate. More than a dozen commanders of the Lth Corps, the commander of the army, and the commander of the army were watching the show. In this case, Chiang Kai-shek had only two choices, either transfer Xue Yue away or take Yu Jishi out.

There is no need to consider transferring Xue Yue. If someone could replace Xue Yue, Chiang Kai-shek would not have let Xue Yue go to De'an, Jiujiang at the beginning, so he could only pick Yu Jishi out and let him take the 36th Army to Changsha for rest. Speaking of which, the 74th Army did suffer heavy losses in the Battle of Lanfeng, and it should be given several months to rest.

However, the telegram arrived at De'an, but it was like a rock sinking into the sea and there was no echo.

Xue Yue was really angry this time. He knew that more than a dozen commanders of the L Corps, the commander of the army, and the commander of the army were watching coldly. At this time, if you take a step back, don’t think about unification, so he would rather not be the commander-in-chief of the corps. He would also achieve the unification of the military order and detain Yu Jishi’s 74th Army in De'an.

Soon, Chairman Jiang sent another oral telegram.

In the end, Xue Yue only replied to Chairman Jiang: The troops cannot be transferred.

Chairman Jiang was furious in Wuhan, but he was helpless because he once again flipped out the roster and dug up more than a dozen senior generals in the national army. He found that his ability and qualifications were not enough to convince the public, and his qualifications were not enough to take on this important task. He really couldn't find anyone who could replace Xue Yue.

In the end, Chairman Jiang not only scolded Yu Jishi, but also encouraged Xue Yue a few words.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek came forward, Yu Jishi had no choice but to give in and could only give in. Other commanders of the army, the commander of the army, and the commander of the army were also convinced. Yu Jishi was so arrogant that he had to deal with him. What else would they not accept? Okay, don’t beat Xiao Jiujiu anymore in the future, and be determined to fight with the Japanese in De'an.

In this way, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division was transferred to Xingzi to act as a side-back defense.

After the order was transferred, Feng Shengfa did not delay any delay. He immediately gathered his troops to prepare to go to Xingzi. Before the troops set off, Feng Shengfa took Xu Shijiu and two guards to Xingzi first. Feng Shengfa knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy. Whether the 58th Division could defend Xingzi would directly affect the life and death of the more than 200,000 troops on the front of the Nanxun Line, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

Although Jiangxi and Zhejiang were adjacent to each other, the road traffic conditions were as different as the worlds. At that time, dozens of counties in Zhejiang Province had basically opened highways, but there were only a few highways in Jiangxi Province. There was no road between Xingzi and De'an. Only one stone road was connected, which could barely allow two large vehicles to travel in parallel, and cars could barely pass.

Feng Shengfa's car bumped all the way through Mahuiling and began to enter the boundary of Xingzi County. Xingzi County is located on the southern foot of Mount Lu and has a mountainous terrain. It is surrounded by peaks and mountains, not only high mountains but also steep, which is enough to cause serious resistance to the development of the army, especially the Japanese army with a higher degree of mechanization, which has a greater impact.

Xu Shijiu retracted his gaze from the lush mountains on the roadside, and turned to Feng Shengfa, who was also observing the terrain of the mountains outside the window, and said, "The terrain here is pretty good. The little Japanese can only launch a gang, so even if the little Japanese really send troops to attack Xingzi, we don't have to face the entire Japanese division."

Feng Shengfa just said softly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The car turned over a valley, and suddenly a valley appeared in the view ahead. The valley was extremely wide, at least nearly a thousand meters wide. There was a flat river in front of the valley, and the lake could be vaguely seen further away. It was Poyang Lake, and there were dense houses on the plain, and it was Xingzi County.

As soon as he saw this terrain, Feng Shengfa's face immediately sank.

"Stop." Feng Shengfa called to stop the car, then opened the car door and walked down.

Xu Shijiu knew what Feng Shengfa was worried about, and he said halfway through the terrain was good, but when he arrived at Xingzi County, the situation was not so optimistic, because Xingzi County was close to Poyang Lake, and the rivers in the middle were crisscrossed. Using these rivers, Japanese gunboat transport ships could quickly mobilize troops and launch an attack.

In other words, Xingzi County cannot be defended at all, nor can it be defended at all.

If you really want to defend yourself, let alone a 58th Division, you can transfer all Yu Jishi's 36th Corps over. I'm afraid it's not enough for the little Japanese to get stuck in the gaps, because the little Japanese light cruisers and gunboats can provide strong fire support to the infantry. Faced with the artillery fire of the little Japanese with absolute advantage, the tragedy of the Battle of Songhu will repeat itself.

If you can't defend Xingzi County, you can only give up

But once Xingzi County is lost, the Japanese army can establish a stable forward base on the west bank of Poyang Lake, and its subsequent troops and supplies will continue to land. This also means that the Japanese army will be able to launch a continuous fierce attack on the 58th Division. Feng Shengfa must not help but worry, how long can the 58th Division last for the Japanese army?

Feng Shengfa lowered his head and pondered, but Xu Shijiu was observing the two peaks on both sides of the valley. These two peaks were not too high, and were only four or five hundred meters above sea level, not big. They stretched for up to four or five miles, but were very steep. Except for the direction of the Poyang Lake, which is facing the back of Ma Huiling, which is still smooth, the other three directions were very steep.

What is even more advantageous is that these two peaks are like two gate gods controlling this valley. The only land passage from Xingzi County to the outside world passes through this valley. As long as the 58th Division controls these two peaks, even if the Japanese captured Xingzi County, they are still tigers in the cage and cannot make any tricks.

Xu Shijiu suggested: "Master, why not let's go to the mountain over there, right?"

Just as Feng Shengfa was about to nod, the adjutant Zhang Shaojie suddenly dissuaded: "Master, it's getting dark, the mountain roads are rugged, and snakes and insects are rampant in the mountains. Why don't it be another day?"

"No need to be another day, today." Feng Shengfa said disapprovingly, "We revolutionary soldiers are not afraid of death, but are they afraid of just snakes, insects and beasts?" After saying that, Feng Shengfa took Xu Shijiu straight to a fork road that went straight into the mountains. Zhang Shaojie had no choice but to follow him with another guard.

At the foot of the mountain, Feng Shengfa and his party accidentally encountered an old hunter. He heard that the boss of the National Army wanted to look at the terrain here and fight against the Japanese. The old hunter volunteered to be a guide. Feng Shengfa agreed happily and was also excited. No matter what, De'an's fellow villagers at least firmly supported the National Army.

While leading Feng Shengfa and his party up the mountain, the old hunter said to them: "Several bosses, this is called Dongguling, and the smaller mountain on the other side of the valley is called Xiguling. Therefore, according to the old man, this east-west mountain was originally connected together, called Daguling. It was a towering mountain. Because it blocked Xingzi's passage to the outside world, a certain ancestor took his descendants to open Dagu Mountain in anger, and then left behind this valley and East-west mountain."

Xu Shijiu smiled when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there would be a Jiangxi version of Yugong Moving Mountain.
