On the morning of May 20th, Chen Jingyun got up a little late that day, he slept in the study last night and thought about a lot of things, and finally drank a lot of wine alone, and did not sleep until after midnight, so that when he woke up the next day, his head hurt a little.

"Get up, I asked Wang's mother to prepare millet porridge, my father used to drink too much and liked to eat porridge the next day!" I don't know when Lin Yun came in with a few maids.

Chen Jingyun, who was still a little dazed, let the maid serve him and sit next to Lin Yun after freshening up: "How do you know that I drank too much!" Well, I'm afraid the following people told you! ”

"Those people are also worried about your body!" Lin Yun's demeanor is completely different from before marriage, whether it is speaking or acting, there is less of the girlish demeanor that makes Chen Jingyun intoxicated, and more of the young woman's charm that fascinates Chen Jingyun.

Chen Jingyun smiled and didn't say anything, but took the porcelain bowl handed over by Lin Yun, and then ate the porridge.

"I'll go back to Flower Lane to see my mother later!" Lin Yun only went back to her parents' house with Chen Jingyun on the day she got in, and this time she said that she went back because Mrs. Lin seemed to be suffering from the cold. Lin Yun looked at Chen Jingyun when she said this, although she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of expectation, she hoped that Chen Jingyun could go back with her.

Chen Jingyun also saw Lin Yun's expectant eyes, and thought about it in his heart, although there were some arrangements this morning, but they were nothing serious, it was okay to push it back, and immediately said: "I'll go with you!" ”

Seeing that Chen Jingyun understood what she meant and took the initiative to go back with her, Lin Yun immediately showed a smile on her face, and she looked like a girl when she smiled, nodding: "Hmm! ”

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Chen Jingyun was about to get up, but there was a voice outside the house: "Dudu! ”

When he looked up and saw that it was Yu Shifeng, Chen Jingyun said: "You came just in time, I have something to do this morning, so you can adjust today's arrangements!" ”

However, as if he hadn't heard Chen Jingyun's words, Yu Shifeng walked up by himself, still holding a report in his hand, and when he got closer to Chen Jingyun, he found that Yu Shifeng's face was quite anxious, and he immediately frowned: "Something?" ”

Yu Shifeng walked over, and then said softly: "Shaoxing sent a military report!" ”

Seeing Yu Shifeng's expression, Chen Jingyun had a very bad premonition, and immediately stretched out his hand to take the report in Yu Shifeng's hand, and after opening the report, there was only a piece of telegram in it, but Chen Jingyun didn't speak for a long time after taking a closer look at the message, and tapped it on the table with the other hand.

It took a while to close the report, and then said with a normal expression: "There is something I have to go over to the headquarters, so I ......"

Lin Yun is not a stupid and ignorant woman, although she never asks Chen Jingyun about military and political affairs, but she knows very well that her husband is not an ordinary person, but a governor who holds tens of thousands of troops and controls Fujian. Although she never asked, she had a certain understanding of the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang through newspapers and even some other channels, and knew that the Nationalist Army was fighting with the Zhejiang Army in Hangzhou. I heard Yu Shifeng talk about the call from Shaoxing just now, and they didn't look very good, it should be that something happened in Hangzhou.

Lin Yun didn't ask, but said, "It's important to get down to business, I'll just go back by myself!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "I'll ask the secretariat to arrange a time in two days, and I'll accompany you back when the time comes!" ”

After standing up, Chen Jingyun stuffed the report in his hand to Yu Shifeng, and then walked out, and Yu Shifeng followed closely.

"Is there only this telegram now? What about other news? On the way, Chen Jingyun had already begun to ask, Yu Shifeng didn't know much, he was the director of the secretariat but he was not a member of the military system, and the news he knew was also passed on from the National Army Headquarters.

"Now the Secretariat has only received this message!" Yu Shifeng explained: "Now Chief Feng and others are already waiting for you in the conference room!" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded and didn't ask anymore, and hurried all the way, the headquarters of the National Army and the Governor's Mansion are one, and they are all located in Chen Jingyun's Governor's Mansion, that is, the front hall, but the area of the Governor's Mansion is not enough, so the three major ministries have purchased a private house next to the Governor's Mansion as an office place.

With the shouting of the guards at the gate: "All the governors have arrived!" Chen Jingyun walked in, different from the previous eagerness is that the current Chen Jingyun is not walking fast, even a little slow, and there is no anxious and panicked look on his face, he walked over and sat down, nodded before the others sat down one after another.

"How's it going now?" Without superfluous nonsense, Chen Jingyun asked the most critical question straightforwardly.

Feng Qindao: "We received a military report from the chief of staff of Shaoxing Lin Zhaomin, and immediately sent a telegram to inquire about relevant matters, according to the current news, the Zhejiang Army launched a surprise attack in the early morning of this morning, and then surrounded the 13th Regiment of our army in the south of the Hongbei Mountain, and then our army and the 13th Regiment officially lost all contact, and the first division has now requested support from the first army!" At the same time, according to various intelligence, the General Staff has restored the process of the battle in Hangzhou! ”

As Feng Qin's words fell, an operational staff officer from the staff department stood up, and then walked to the edge of a huge sand table next to the conference table: "Commanders and colleagues, please move!" ”

Chen Jingyun walked over, this sand table is about two meters long and wide, the mountains are undulating, the rivers and fields are all available, and there are small red and green flags in the mountains and hills.

Although Chen Jingyun did not have any talent for operational command, the military knowledge he inherited was solid, and he could understand the battle situation of the entire sand table clearly at a glance, but he did not speak and nodded towards the operational staff officer.

At this time, the operational staff officer spoke: "According to the situation under the control of our Operations Division, this sand table has been made, and to a certain extent, the movements and tactical arrangements of our army and the enemy have been restored!"

Before the afternoon of the 17th, that is, before the official outbreak of the war, two brigades of our army and the enemy's second division were outside the city of Hangzhou, that is, in the area of Hongbei Mountain, Baoge Mountain, and Zhoufeng! The relevant arrangements of the enemy army and our army are as follows! ”

With the explanation of the combat staff officer, some people have already begun to move the small flags on the sand table. After the completion of Chen Jingyun, he could see that the layout of the first division was almost completely a line of development, and the distance between the 12th regiment and the 13th regiment was too large, and the strength of the 11th regiment was also too scattered.

The operational staff officer said the same: "Because the front of the First Division is too long, although the First Division ordered the first division to shrink the front on the same day and the next day, it could not be completed because of the entanglement with the enemy. On the evening of the 18th, the Zhejiang army broke through part of the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 12th Regiment, causing excessive casualties to the 2nd Battalion, leaving only two companies to remain intact, and the machine gun company under its jurisdiction was completely lost. Although the 2nd Battalion was replenished the next day by drawing manpower from the Zhejiang Army under Jiang Zungui, the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Battalion could not be restored, and the flank of the 13th Regiment on the Eastern Front was exposed to the enemy's multi-layered fire due to the retreat of the 2nd Battalion.

In order to save the situation, Xu Jingqing of the 13th Regiment organized troops to seize the No. 8 Heights in the early morning of the 19th, restoring the initiative on the Eastern Front to a certain extent. However, the problem of the fragility of the 12th regiment's defense line remained unresolved.

On the morning of the 19th, the Zhejiang army tried to counterattack the No. 8 heights, but at the same time, the Zhejiang army had already mobilized a whole brigade of troops to carry out a large-scale attack on the entire Hongbei Mountain area, and in the afternoon, the enemy numbers of the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade appeared.

At the same time, the 1st Division ordered the 12th Regiment to move closer to the 13th Regiment, and the 11th Regiment abandoned its original position to take over the 12th Regiment's defensive line, but due to the enemy's pinning, it was unable to complete the tactical adjustment.

According to the speculation of the Operations Division, as of yesterday, the Zhejiang army should have drawn at least three regiments from the front, of which at least one regiment was detoured to the southeast and returned to Niujiao Mountain, and there should be one or two regiments concentrated in the flank direction of the 13th Regiment to capture the Baoge Mountain, the junction of the 12th Regiment and the 13th Regiment.

As of the early morning of this morning, before the Zhejiang army launched a large-scale surprise attack, our army did not have any information about the Zhejiang army's transfer of troops from the front.

In the early hours of this morning, the enemy's 1st Brigade suddenly appeared on Niujiao Mountain, and at the same time, the enemy's 6th Brigade attacked the 12th Regiment at the junction of the 13th Regiment, defeated the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment of our army, and then captured the Baoge Mountain area, causing our army and the 13th Regiment to lose all contact. ”

As the operational staff officer narrated, several staff officers also moved various small flags, and after the combat staff officer's explanation, an encirclement appeared intuitively in the eyes of everyone.

An encirclement of at least three or four enemy brigades, and inside the encirclement was the 13th Regiment of the 1st Division.

After Chen Jingyun listened to the story, he didn't show an obvious angry expression, but he didn't speak immediately, but after watching it for a long time, he said: "The Zhejiang army has drawn at least half of its troops from the frontal front, and Yuan Fang didn't notice it at all?" ”

The operational staff officer said: "As far as we know, the first division did not report similar news!" ”

Chen Jingyun continued to ask: "Didn't the regiment of the guard division arrive in Shaoxing, where is it now?" And what about the second division, why hasn't it arrived in Hangzhou for a few days? ”

Feng Qin explained: "According to the battle plan reported by the chief of staff of the provisional First Army, the First Regiment of the Guard Division arrived in Shaoxing yesterday evening, and was originally scheduled to set off this afternoon after resting for a while, and then directly penetrated into Yuxian, thus threatening the flank of the Zhejiang Army to solve the dilemma of the Eastern Front of the First Division. After the 13th Regiment was besieged in the morning, the 1st Regiment of the Guard Division had canceled its original plan and had already set off to support the 1st Division in the Hongbeishan area.

The Second Division had already been on its way all night, and in the morning they sent a telegram saying that a regiment had been sent to march lightly and hastily, and that it was expected to reach the boundary of Hangzhou tomorrow, and that it would take the day after tomorrow to reach the vicinity of Hongbei Mountain! ”

Chen Jingyun returned to the conference table, sat down and said, "Give Yuan Fang an order, let him organize the second line of defense and prepare for a counterattack." Then give Lin Zhaomin an order that this battle is related to the survival of the national army, and only victory is allowed. ”

Then he said to the high-ranking generals of the National Army present: "In the first battle of Hangzhou, the goal of our army is not to destroy one city and one place or how many enemy troops we want to destroy, but to completely control the northern Zhejiang region militarily. According to this goal, the number of troops in the Zhejiang region is now insufficient, so I decided to continue to increase the number of troops! ”

After that, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction, and immediately said to Zhuang Dafu: "You are ready to prepare, the 42nd Regiment under the Fourth Division will ship to Shaoxing as soon as possible after strengthening the artillery and other auxiliary forces, and the 43rd Regiment of the Fourth Division in Fuding will also set off for the north immediately!" After arriving, it was placed under the command of the provisional First Army. ”

After saying this, Chen Jingyun waved his hand to let everyone leave, and after everyone left, he got up and walked to the edge of the sand table and watched, motionless.
