270 will never waver

270 Never waver (Part 1)

There are many fishing boats on the lake around Poyang Lake. On the islands of the big and small lakes, you can see bare upper-bodied fishermen waving to the fleet with five-star red flags from time to time.

Tang Xiangming, standing on the bridge, observed with a telescope and said to Zhu Xiaoxian, "In this way, the enemy will know that our target is Incheon."

"Yes, it is impossible to carry out surprise attack." Zhu Xiao nodded first and replied.

"Don't worry, the Beiyang Army should be confused by us." Li thought.

According to Li Xiang's claim, in order to achieve the effect of surprise attack in the Hukou landing battle, a large number of deceptions and tamp;

The 5th Regiment of the Marine Corps participated in the landing operation in Xingzi. The air force continued to carry out air strikes on Nanxun. Yang Fan spared no effort to attack at Jinguan Bridge, leaving the Beiyang Army with the impression that "the bandit army is trying to break through the Nanxun defense line and directly threaten Nanchang". The People's Daily is also following a large number of news about the Battle of Nanxun.

All of these are tricks to ensure the landing operation at the mouth of the lake. However, can these tacts deceive the Beiyang Army?

There are also many people in Li Xiang's headquarters who have such doubts.

With the gradual advancement in the waterway of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake can be clearly seen from the bridge.

There were more than 30 boats with brown sails on the lake escarp, and many citizens flocked to the shore to watch the fleet. There are four tarp wing mosquito fighters escorting over the fleet. In addition to the roar of the plane, the sky and sea seem very calm.

The sun is setting in the direction of Lushan Mountain. Standing on the "Haichen" bridge, Li Xiang and Tang Xiangming, Zhu Xiaoxian silently stared at the sunset of the beautiful Lushan Mountain at the end of the vast Poyang Lake.

Xu Yifan and Yuchen are also watching the sun set in the west.

"Our mission is about to be completed. According to the instructions, we just need to light up the lighthouse at the entrance of the Yangtze River waterway at zero."

Xu Yifan jumped out of the boat and looked at the towering lighthouse into the night on the island in the center of the river. They will try their best to light the old French-made Palmy oil lighthouse.

"What else are you doing? Hurry up." Yuchen strode to the lighthouse.

In the lighthouse, Yuchen wiped the mirror with a cloth, muttering in his mouth.

"Big boss, do you think we have a medal?"

"How dare you ask for a medal for such an easy life?"

"There will always be a bonus."

"Our salaries and allowances are so high, are you still not satisfied?"

Xu Yifan squatted out of the window and looked at his watch from time to time.

"The time is up!"

Yuchen couldn't wait to light up the light.

The light broke through the darkness and spread to the gathered fleet.

"I can't see anything." Yu Chen muttered.

"How can it be so fast?"

Xu Yifan and Yuchen lay at the window and could not see the fleet. They squatted on the top of the lighthouse and waited for the big play in front of them.

This is a sleepless night.

"I'll go down for a moment." Yuchen suddenly ran to the top of the stairs.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yifan said and chased after him. This partner likes to make trouble.

Yuchen was so bored that he ran to the lighthouse door and wrote the words "Yuchen is here".

Xu Yifan could imagine the stunned expression of the marines trying to guess who was walking in front of them when they saw these words.

......

Li Xiang didn't sleep well this night.

Just before Xu Yifan and Yuchen lit the lighthouse, Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiaoxian, who were about to go to bed, heard someone knock on the door. It was the guard who came to inform that Marshal Li asked him to go there. They put on their military uniforms and came to Li Xiang's room.

"You sit down."

Li wants to say. He frowned and spatted around the room meditatingly.

Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiaoxian sat down, and Li Xiang was still walking.

The boat was very quiet in the middle of the night, only the sound of the engine and the accidental footsteps of the guards, plus the movement of the hour hand on the wall. Of course, there is also the sound of Li Xiang's military boots hitting the floor.

Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiao sat there listening to the sound of shoes, looked at the paced Li Xiang, and also understood the reason for calling them - Li Dashuai wanted to talk to someone.

As a commander, Marshal Li is a lonely young man. His status is doomed to be alone.

What Marshal Li needs most is a friend, listen to him, talk to him, or think silently with him.

This night, Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiaoxian silently waited for Li to speak.

All three of them are thinking that they will soon cross the mouth of Poyang Lake. Thousands of people here will fight bravely, but Li wants to be responsible for the failure alone.

"My soul is facing a test moment, and the terrible consequences are determined by this moment."

Li Xiang opened his mouth after walking for a while.

Li Xiang continued to pace back and forth. He kept nagging about all the dangers vividly listed by the chiefs of staff and others, who tried their best to prevent him from engaging in such dangerous and lucky actions. When he was still nagging and talking to himself, Tang Xiangming seemed to feel that it was too troublesome for Marshal Li to remember so many battlefields. And how old is he? The war he has experienced over these years is more wonderful than many people's lives.

Li wants to talk about the elements of surprising victory over and over again. This saved the lives of thousands of his subordinates during the Xinhai Revolution.

The first meaning of 1911 is a miracle in the eyes of many people now, a miracle of a big gamble.

Now it is necessary to protect most of the officers and soldiers who go to the mouth of the lake in black lacquered ships. But if the Beiyang Army sharpens its knife and waits, it will become one of the biggest military disasters of the National Revolutionary Army in history.

--The question is the surprise attack. Can the surprise attack be achieved? Hukou is the only choice, and there is no doubt about it. There are indeed many difficulties. It is because of many difficulties that we have a chance to succeed.

--But can a surprise attack be achieved? Can the secret be kept?

- The committee is against it, and we have pushed this objection back. Whether it is victory or defeat, I will bear the responsibility.

......

Li Xiang is completely a self-questioning and self-answering monologue. Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiaoxian sat motionless in the chair and listened.

- Yes, it's all my responsibility. If I make a mistake, there will be thousands of young people who believe in the righteousness of the three people who will bleed and die.

- So far, young people who believe in the righteousness of the three people have shed a lot of blood. But there is no war without bloodshed.

--But I will try my best to reduce bleeding. In order to deal with the strong Beiyang Army Base, we adopted surprise attack tactics to reduce bloodshed.

--But as long as I make a mistake, thousands of soldiers will die. My plan won't go wrong.

--The enemy didn't notice it. Maybe the enemy has made preparations. Once we fall into narrow waterways and mud, we will be shot by the enemy like ducks in the pond.

--If so, it will be the worst day of failure in the history of the National Revolutionary Army.

--So, what about the alternative plan outside the lake entrance? Nanxun? Looking forward to the counterattack of the 3rd Field Army Group? ......

Li Dashuai said this, stopped and stood in front of the five-star red flag and stared at the bloody flag. In silence, Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiao wiped the sweat on their heads with their hands from time to time.

"No!" Li Xiang turned around and shouted to Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiaoxian, "There is no alternative. My decision is comprehensive. They are all within the range of acceptable dangers and difficulties.

Finally, he finally stopped walking, as if he were talking to himself: "This is the right decision. We must accept all dangers."

All his worries have disappeared.

"Thank you for listening to my nagging," Li said. "Now let's sleep for a while."

Send Tang Xiangming and Zhu Xiao away one after another. When Li wanted to close the hatch, he heard the clock ring 12 times. At this time, Xu Yifan and Yuchen had just lit the old lighthouse to guide the invaders. They were so bored that they lit a small fishing lamp on a huge rock.

Li Xiang still couldn't sleep and decided to stay on the deck for a while.

The crew on the deck was very alert but silent.

The wind at night brings fresh vitality. It was dark over Poyang Lake, and the shadow of the nearby ships was not very clear. The sound of the waves in the bow sounded very loud.

The landing operation is carried out precisely according to the established plan. Thirty minutes before that, naval forces and frigates entered the Yangtze River Channel to cooperate with the landing attack at the mouth of the lake.

Li wanted to stand in the bow of the ship, listen to the sound of the waves of Poyang Lake, stared at the front of the bow, and found that there was a flash of light in front of him. After confirming a tiny light in front of the right, he asked repeatedly, "What is that?"

"Report the general." The officer on duty on the deck told him, "That's a lighthouse."

Li Xiang is very excited! He shouted happily, "I knew the surprise attack could be successful!" The enemy didn't even put out the light of the lighthouse.

That light is a lighthouse built by the French people lit by Xu Yifan and Yuchen. He didn't ask the officer on duty, thinking that it was the enemy who forgot to turn it off. Then he ran back to his room excitedly.

The officer on duty hung a black line on his forehead and watched Marshal Li run back to the cabin crazily.

At the same time, a high-speed transport ship turned off the engine, the lights in the waterproof compartment turned on, and the sound of the wake-up number spread throughout the ship's pressure alarm system.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the transport ship have woken up. When the breakfast bell rang in the middle of the night, Hu, a first-class Marine, went into the kitchen. He had heard that the Marines had a hearty breakfast before landing: including eggs, steaks, bacon and hot muffins.

Brother Hu has never eaten such an elegant foreign meal. Today is a kind of meat for Kaiyang adults.

Brother Hu took a bite of the hot muffin and looked at the window. The land in front of him was dark. Looking at the mouth of the lake, there was no fire. He could only see the Shizhong Mountain Heights under the sky. Can they get there alive?

"It's so strange!" He whispered to the vice captain beside him, "We are now in the middle. It's the worst place - this operation is too risky."

"Be quiet." After eating, the vice captain clicked his mouth and whispered to Hu Ge, "Don't say a word, come with me."

He took Brother Hu to the deck: "You will see the highland we are going to attack in the morning."

Brother Hu can see the black outline of Shizhong Mountain, and there is a small lamp island adjacent to it. He said, "We stopped between the two islands. Is there anyone else on the island?"

"No!"
