Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

On the battlefield, it is very dangerous to have an enemy army appearing on the flank of one's own troops, because the enemy army can either directly launch a "cutting waist" attack from the flank, splitting one's own troops in two; Entering the army and completing an outflank, no army wants to be surrounded. Xu Yingkuo has been in the army for many years, of course he understands this truth.

Xu Yingkui immediately thought of ordering an army to march towards Shuanglindu and block Lin Yuan's army on the way. Xu Yingkui thought to himself: "This army is very important. We need to send an elite army. Who should we send?" Xu Yingkui thought about this Candidates, the opponent said: "Go and call me Cheng Fanggang."

Cheng Fanggang is the battalion commander of the Gangmeng Battalion under Xu Yingguo's command. He is very accurate in shooting. He is known as Cheng Shenqiang. The accuracy is extremely high, so Gangmeng Battalion is also called "Sharp Spear Battalion".

When Cheng Fang just came to Xu Yingku, he knelt down and wanted to kneel. Xu Yingku said, "Don't kneel anymore. Lin Ni bandits appeared near Shuanglindu. Take the Gangmeng Battalion with you quickly, and be sure to wipe out the Lin Ni bandits who appeared. clean."

Cheng Fanggang asked: "How many Lin Ni bandits are there? Where are they located?"

Xu Yingku was perplexed for a while, and said, "I don't know about this either, you can investigate when you get there."

Cheng Fanggang frowned and thought to himself: "I only know that there are Lin Ni bandits in Shuanglindu, but I don't know how many there are. How can we fight this battle? It's not a big deal if you lose your reputation. If you don't do it, you will lose your life, or what?" Let others go." So Cheng Fang just raised his head and said, "My lord, our Sharpshooter Battalion is responsible for the defense of the western defense line. If we leave the defense line, what should we do if Lin Ni bandits attack?"

Xu Yingkui said: "The Lin Ni bandits in front of us are just feigning attacks. Their real main attack direction is at Shuanglindu. If the Lin Ni bandits at Shuanglindu attack our flank, our defense line will collapse in an instant. I will watch the various troops , only your Sharpshooter Battalion can take on this important task! Needless to say, go quickly.”

Cheng Fang just didn't dare to say any more when he heard this. He knew that Xu Yingkui was moody, and now he was talking to him with sincerity. If he tried to evade, Xu Yingkui would immediately fly into a rage. It was hard to say whether he would be able to keep his head !

Cheng Fanggang then said: "Then I will lead my men to Shuanglindu and intercept Lin Ni bandits!"

Xu Yingkui smiled slightly and said, "Very well, the military situation is extremely urgent, so don't delay, set off quickly!"

Cheng Fanggang nodded and returned to the team. Everyone in the Sharpshooter Battalion was equipped with a military horse for fast maneuvering. This was also an important reason why Xu Yingkui sent them out. Cheng Fanggang led the troops on horseback and headed for Shuanglindu in the east , After running past the Sujia Village on the easternmost side of the defense line, he immediately ordered the troops to slow down.

Next to Cheng Fanggang was his confidant messenger, named Cheng Fangqi, his cousin, Cheng Fangqi couldn't help but asked: "Cousin, the military situation is urgent, we should have rushed to Shuanglindu, but now we slow down. Why?"

Cheng Fanggang smiled and said: "Cousin, rushing to Shuanglindu is a dead end, how can we rush to die?"

Cheng Fangqi asked: "Cousin, the battle is imminent, how do you say such frustrating words?"

Cheng Fanggang said with a smile: "That old man Xu Yingku asked us to go to Shuanglindu, but he didn't tell us how many Lin Ni bandits were there and where they were located. Do you know how big Shuanglindu is? It has a radius of tens of miles. I don't know where the Lin Ni bandits are, so how can I defeat them?"

Cheng Fangqi nodded again and again, and said: "What my cousin said is true, but it is not an option for us to walk slowly on the road. An ugly daughter-in-law must see her parents-in-law. Can we still hide from Lin Ni's bandits forever?"

Cheng Fanggang frowned, and said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. We were born by a grandfather, so I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. We have to think about our future. You see Ningshaotai Branch patrols Daotai Zhang Haixiao, no matter how much Mr. Xu urges, he will not send troops to attack Hangzhou."

"Then Hangzhou is right under the eyes of the Shaoxing government's defenders. The Shaoxing government's defenders just sit on the Diaoyutai, and they have no intention of sending troops at all! This matter is tacitly understood by everyone: Zhang Haixiao must have reached some secret agreement with Lin Yuan. He is a Taoist and has left a way out for himself, how can we brothers not think about ourselves?"

Cheng Fangqi said: "Zhang Haixiao is short-sighted. If he doesn't see that the Holy Majesty will definitely wipe out Lin Ni, how can you and my brother be like him?"

Cheng Fanggang smiled wryly, and said: "If you have the Tao, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and sooner or later this world will belong to Lin Yuan."

Cheng Fangqi was surprised and said: "Lin Ni's bandit soldiers burned, killed, raped and looted, they did all kinds of crimes, and the people are not fools, how can they support Lin Ni?"

Cheng Fanggang let out a long sigh and said: "You really believe in those things, let me tell you, the real Lin Yuan troops don't do those things at all, not only don't they do it, they are as close to the common people as a family, unlike us, they put The common people are grandchildren, and they themselves are grandpas!"

Cheng Fangqi asked: "The people at the complaining meeting..."

Cheng Fanggang said: "They are all the people we are looking for. This matter is very confidential. Only Xu Yingku and his confidants know about it!"

Cheng Fangqi was so surprised that he didn't speak for a while, then Cheng Fanggang lowered his voice and said: "Cousin, for the present plan, only our brothers will revolt on the battlefield!"

Cheng Fang rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "Cousin, don't tell me, this method is really better than death. I have read the leaflets issued by Lin Yuan and the others. All the uprisings on the battlefield: all officers will be employed in their original positions, and there will be rewards! It's just that One thing, can the soldiers and officers agree?"

Cheng Fanggang said: "I know my subordinates very well. They are all serving as soldiers and eating food. They are not like Xu Yingguo's death squad who would rather risk their lives than protect the emperor. As long as they are paid, they don't care if they beat Lin Yuan Still fight the Qing court!"

Cheng Fang nodded and said, "Then let's do it!"

Cheng Fanggang said: "Take your people immediately and rush to Shuanglindu to look for Lin Yuan's troops. I will lead my brothers back and exchange fire with Xu Yingku's troops. Make some contributions, and they will think highly of us!"

Cheng Fangqi said: "Then you ask your subordinates to wear red cloths on their arms, so as not to accidentally injure Lin Yuan's troops when they arrive."

As soon as Cheng Fang agreed, Cheng Fangqi led a few people and galloped towards Shuanglindu. Cheng Fanggang gathered everyone together and asked loudly, "Do you hate Lin Yuan?"

This kind of question was asked several times by Xu Yingkui's troops before meals and training every day. The soldiers had long been accustomed to it, so they replied in unison: "Hate!"

Cheng Fanggang said loudly: "Let me tell you, you shouldn't hate Lin Yuan! What you want to hate is the Qing court! It's Xu Yingku! All the things you heard are Xu Yingku's deceiving you, and now I'm going to take you to Lin Yuan Handsome, counterattack Xu Yingku, are you willing?"

There was a discussion among the crowd, and Cheng Fanggang's confidants naturally wanted to support him with all their strength at this time, so they shouted in the crowd: "We are willing to follow Cheng Yingtong!"

Cheng Fanggang guessed right. His soldiers didn't care much about who they followed to fight whom. Seeing that Cheng Fanggang said he wanted to return to fight the Qing court, he agreed. Cheng Fanggang immediately led the troops to the easternmost defense line of Xu Yingkui Go to Sujia Village.
