    This is really an uneasy moment. Before getting the exact information, Zhang Xian felt that his heart was about to be ripped out.  Similarly, next to Hu Congjun, he could also feel that Mr. Hu was also completely uneasy. Comparatively speaking, he was under much greater pressure than Zhang Xian. After all, he was the leader of a division and all decisions were made.  It was made by him. Even if he makes a mistake, he may get eternal regret.

    The search team had been sent out a long time ago. Hu Congjun accepted Zhang Xian's suggestion and conducted focused reconnaissance on the east and south sides of Mengyin City. At the same time, he did not dare to relax the investigation on the west side. Relatively speaking, the north side was coming.  direction, but I don¡¯t have so many worries.

    Mengyin, as the name suggests, is named because it is located at the northern foot of Mengshan Mountain.  According to ancient Chinese customs, generally speaking, those located in the south of the mountains and the north of the water are called Yang, and conversely, those located in the north of the mountains and the south of the water are called Yin.  This is an ancient city with a relatively long history. It is located on the bank of the Dongwen River, a tributary of the Yi River. It is surrounded by rolling mountains on both sides, and in the middle is the valley washed out by the river. It has become the hub of transportation between Linyi and Xintai, leading to the Qing Dynasty.  The nine-province post roads in the southeastern provinces pass through this valley, and the highways built later also pass through this place. From there, there is a road through the mountains to the east, along the winding branch of the Dongwen River.  It flows to Yishui County in the east, so it is also a transportation hub in the Yimeng Mountains and has become a battleground for military strategists.

    It was precisely because he knew the military value of Mengyin City at this time that while waiting, Hu Congjun ordered the three brigades of the reorganized 11th Division to step up their alerts and remain unchanged in response to any changes, hoping to conquer this place in the shortest possible time.  Build it into an important town that can be attacked and defended.

    Although there was no news, the 11th Division was reorganized under Hu Congjun's arrangement, but he did not take a moment to spare. According to his idea, he must first prepare his own defense and use the most conservative strategy to deal with the unknown battlefield at this time.

    I spent the night in fear like this, and at dawn the next day, there was already news.  Chen Daxing led nearly a battalion of the search team back from the east, but he brought everyone shocking news. He also brought back a person who was known to both Zhang Xian and Hu Congjun. This person turned out to be this person.  At that time, he had been promoted to Colonel Su Zhengtao, the chief of staff of the reorganized 74th Division.

    When they saw Su Zhengtao, both Hu Congjun and Zhang Xian were extremely surprised. Zhang Xian and Su Zhengtao had known each other for a long time, and Hu Congjun had also seen this backbone in the headquarters of the reorganized 74th Division in Shuyang.  At that time, he was still a high-spirited and graceful official, but when I saw him again at this time, he seemed to be a beggar, his face was covered with mud, his clothes were in rags, his hat had long since disappeared, and his head was covered with dirt.  His short black hair was dyed gray by the dust, and only the shoes under his feet still looked like black leather, making him different from an ordinary soldier.

    When he saw Zhang Xian, Su Zhengtao's hopeless and empty eyes immediately shone, but soon they dimmed again and tears rolled down his face!

    Hu Congjun and Zhang Xian both seemed to understand something. Seeing him looking so distressed, they didn't know how to ask questions for a while.

    "Daxing, how did you save him?" Zhang Xian asked Chen Daxing who brought Su Zhengtao over.

    Chen Daxing told him and Hu Congjun: "Master, Commander, our search team was ordered to search eastward. We saw many corpses of our national and communist troops on the road. The blood stains in many places have not yet dried," he said.  Licking his lips, Zhang Xian and Hu Congjun already thought of the tragedy on that battlefield without him having to describe it.

    Zhang Xian handed him an enamel jar and asked him to take a sip of water. It was obvious that Chen Daxing had been tired and nervous all night, so he must have missed a grain of rice and not a drop of water.  He picked up the water jug ??and drank it all in one go. Then he took a long breath and then continued: "We passed through the mountains and forests very carefully, and saw a group of communist guards.  Chief Su and a few others went to Tanbu, so we followed them secretly until they reached Tanbu Village!"

    Zhang Xian knew that Tanbu is a relatively large village and town more than sixty miles away from Mengyin City. It is located in the middle of the highway from Mengyin to Yishui. To the south of Tanbu is Menglianggu, and the target of the reorganized 74th Army's attack is  It should be that point.

    "The Tantan port turned out to be the logistics base of the Communist army!" Chen Daxing affirmed: "Although it was already night, we still saw many Communist troops coming in and out, and many wounded were also sent there. The surrounding security was also  There are so many, so we have been hiding nearby, waiting for the opportunity to surprise them!"

    "It seems you succeeded!" Zhang Xian already knew the result.

    "Yes!" Chen Daxing nodded, and said with some pride: "Those Communist troops never thought that we would raid them, haha, of course?I called him back again, but from that moment on, I could clearly see that Teacher Zhang had never heard Lei Ting¡¯s words again!  "

    Zhang Xian was silent. He was a little confused about Lei Ting and his wife, but besides him, who else would inform?  In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not a secret. After all, the anger cannot be contained in the paper. Even if he doesn't say it, someone else will definitely say it.  It would be easier to understand if Lei Lei was the Communist Party, but he is not!

    "What happened next?" Hu Congjun asked.

    "You also know that Commander Zhang. He believed that even nine oxen could not pull him back. Later, Lei Lei suggested leaving a brigade to stay in Duozhuang, also to take into account the escape route of the 74th Division. This is still the case for Commander Zhang.  Accepted, but he only left one baggage regiment!¡±

    "Duozhuang is a key point on the highway. It is like the street pavilion when Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan. It is a place that must be defended. It is already inappropriate for Master Zhang to only leave a few regiments to garrison. He also left a heavy baggage regiment. There is no  What kind of fighting power!" Zhang Xian said bitterly.

    Su Zhengtao raised his head and glanced at him again, and said with some regret: "Yes, Zhang Xian, it would be great if you were still in the 74th Division, Master Zhang will definitely listen to you!"

    Zhang Xian waved his hand and asked: "What happened next?"

    "We were surrounded by the Communist army near Menglianggu. At this time, the situation was clear. The target of the Communist army was our 74th Division. So at that time, everyone advised the division commander to break out. If the Communist army was surrounded on all sides, it would be too late. But the division commander obviously still  He didn¡¯t give up, but asked Lei Lei what he thought.¡±

    "What did Lei Lei say?"

    "Lei Lei came up with two plans. The first one is to hold on and use the 74th Division as bait to attract all the main forces of the Communist army, just like the Battle of Changde, and then use our peripheral friendly forces to draw out all the main forces.  Its annihilation!"

    "Asshole!" Zhang Xian almost jumped up!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
