    The war order came so suddenly that no one had a chance to breathe.

    As soon as Zhang Xian returned to the headquarters of the 11th Reorganized Brigade, he received a military order from Hu Congjun. Kaifeng City was in emergency. The Ministry of National Defense asked the 11th Reorganized Division to set off immediately and move to the Zhuxian Town and Chenliu areas south of Kaifeng to unblock the city.  siege.

    The 11th Reorganized Brigade is located in Suiping, north of Zhumadian. It is the closest unit to Kaifeng among the 11th Reorganized Division. It once again naturally became the vanguard of the Reorganized 11th Division, heading towards Zhuxian Town in the northeast.  .

    In advance, Hu Congjun had planned the march route of the 11th Brigade for Zhang Xian. It would start from Suiping to Shangcai in the northeast, and from there all the way to the north, crossing Honghe, Yinghe, Yanling, and Weishi. It would take three hundred troops to march.  Yu Li is expected to arrive at the designated battlefield in three days.  But Zhang Xian still didn't know much about the situation in Kaifeng.  Hu Congjun told him that the military situation there was urgent, and the other two brigades of the reorganized 11th Division had also set off, following closely behind the 11th Brigade. Hu Congjun also decided to personally lead the division headquarters of the reorganized 11th Division to follow the 118th Division.  After the tour, we headed to Kaifeng, and the camping site for that night was booked in Shangcai County.

    Compared with the other two brigades, the 11th Brigade was closest to Shangcaicheng, so it arrived first. Zhang Xian immediately ordered the 11th Brigade to strengthen its vigilance near Shangcaicheng, and at the same time sent an engineer battalion to the north.  A bridge was built across the Hong River to prepare for the passage of subsequent troops.

    Shangcai is the seat of Cai State, which was enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty. It is also the hometown of Qin Prime Minister Li Si and Han Prime Minister Zhai Fangjin. It is the birthplace of the Cai surname.  Because the Cai State was repeatedly invaded by the Chu State, the then ruler of the Cai State moved its capital to Xincai, and later to Fengtai, Anhui. To facilitate distinction, the old capital of the Cai State was called Shangcai, while the new capital was called Shangcai.  Known as Liao Xia Cai.  Shangcai is an ancient city with a history of three thousand years recorded in historical records.

    In the evening, Xu Haibo's reorganized 49th brigade also arrived at Shangcaicheng. Not long after, Wang Yuanling also arrived with the reorganized 118th brigade. Hu Congjun's reorganized 11th division followed the 118th brigade.  He also rushed over from Zhumadian, and he also brought the reorganized fast column under the 11th Division.

    Because of the urgent military situation, when the Ministry of National Defense's transfer order was issued, Hu Congjun had no chance to have a detailed discussion with his brigade commanders. It was not until he arrived at Shangcaicheng that all three brigades under the reorganized 11th Division were assembled.  Then everyone was called together for a pre-war meeting.

    "What on earth is going on?" Xu Haibo asked with great confusion before he could sit down. It seemed that, like Zhang Xian, he did not understand the main information.

    Hu Congjun waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said: "After crossing the Yellow River, the Suyu Corps of the Communist Army invaded southwest Shandong. This time, it was obvious that he was going towards Qiu Yuqing's reorganized Fifth Army. Haha, it's just a worm.  Shake the tree and overestimate your own capabilities!¡±

    Zhang Xian frowned. He was already very familiar with General Su Yu of the Communist Party. He fought from northern Jiangsu to Shandong, and from Yimeng Mountain to southwestern Shandong. The original ace of the national army, Zhang Linfu, was reorganized in the 70s.  Unfortunately, the Fourth Division fell into a treacherous trick and was destroyed in Menglianggu.  Chen Yi and Su Yu were still trying every possible means to encircle and annihilate the 11th Reorganized Division. When they were in Suqian, it was the best opportunity, but they missed it. So Xintai, Mengyin, and Nanma behind them,  Until Caoxian, Hu Congjun never gave him any chance again.  This time when Su Yu made a comeback, it was no longer the original situation where the national army attacked and they defended; but on the contrary, it became a situation where they attacked and the national army defended.  Although there is indeed a gap between Su Yu's Corps and Qiu Yuqing's reorganized Fifth Army, it is definitely not overestimating one's capabilities as Hu Congjun said.  Of course, Zhang Xian also understood that Hu Congjun was not an arrogant person. The reason why he despised the enemy so much was actually to cheer everyone up.

    Hu Congjun glanced at everyone with a majestic look, and then continued: "The purpose of the Communist army was quickly revealed to us, so Xuzhou used a trick to let these enemies in. At the same time, Qiu Yuqing's Fifth Army counterattacked  To block their return, haha, in this way, Su Yu's troops will be under the control of our national army!"

    "Xuzhou did a pretty good job this time!" Brigadier Wang Yuanling couldn't help but praise.

    "Huh!" Hu Congjun snorted coldly from his nostrils and said disdainfully: "If Liu Zhi is really so capable, there will be no need for us to reorganize the 11th Division and rush to Kaifeng!"

    Wang Yuanling seemed a little embarrassed by his rebuttal, and immediately closed his mouth.

    Hu Congjun continued: "Liu Zhi only saw the enemy in front of him, but he could not see the enemy hidden behind. The Communist Army also had a Chentang Corps that had been operating in the south of Zhengzhou, so at this time, he took advantage of  When all our troops had been transferred eastward, they suddenly came out and surrounded Kaifeng City!"

    &nb??Not an Japanese devil!  Zhang Xian, however, spoke with some seriousness: "The Communist Party is far more difficult to deal with than the Japanese. Those old combat techniques are too outdated and are of no use at all!"  "

    Hu Congjun already understood, but still thought about it carefully.  After a long time, he said to Zhang Xian: "After all, even if Kaifeng City is not impregnable, it is well defended. I think it will not be easy for the Communist Army to capture this provincial capital. Even ten days is a bit long.  , we should have no problem sustaining it for three to five days!"

    "I'm afraid it can only last three to five days at most!" Zhang Xiandao said.

    "Why do you have so little trust in the Kaifeng defenders?" Hu Congjun asked.

    Zhang Xian smiled bitterly, but asked him: "Military seat, do you think Kaifeng or Luoyang have higher city defenses?"

    Hu Congjun was startled and said: "Of course it's Luoyang!"

    "Indeed!" Zhang Xian also said, reminding him at the same time: "It only took the Communist army five days to defeat Luoyang!"

    Hu Congjun was silent. Three months ago, the 11th Division was reorganized to assist Luoyang, but was blocked by water. In only two days, the city of Luoyang was lost, and the entire young army defending the city was wiped out.

    Zhang Xian suddenly remembered something and asked: "Military Commander, do you still remember Commander Wu?"

    Hu Congjun was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately. Of course he remembered General Wu Qi who was dismissed because the Battle of Suqian was not fought well.

    "Do you still remember what he told us when we went to see him off when he left?" Zhang Xian asked.

    When he heard Zhang Xian mention this, Hu Congjun couldn't help but become alert, and vaguely remembered that Commander Wu once suspected that there were Communist spies in the Ministry of National Defense.  Now it seems that this is indeed the case. I am afraid that the spy's official position is not small, but this kind of thing cannot be said without sufficient evidence.

    Looking at Hu Congjun's eyes, Zhang Xian already knew what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Military, I want to remind you that no matter what orders are issued by the Ministry of National Defense, you are a member of our 18th Army.  We must weigh it carefully and make a decision after careful consideration! If we blindly follow the orders of the Ministry of National Defense, we may end up being sent to the mouths of the Communist Army!"

    Listening to Zhang Xian's uncle's advice, Hu Congjun knew that these were Zhang Xian's heartfelt words and had already remembered them in his heart. However, as a military general, he could not let his subordinates doubt the president's orders, so after thinking about it, he smiled at him.  Said: "Zhang Xian, you may be too worried. In this battle of Kaifeng, we may not have no chance. If everyone can really do what the president said, I think we will still be sure of victory.  of!"

    Zhang Xian knew that this was Hu Congjun¡¯s cunning, so he smiled and said to him: ¡°I hope I am really just being overhearted!¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
