Launching a battle during the day will undoubtedly increase the difficulty for the Xianghe column. At this time, although all the enemy fighter planes were deployed on the battlefield in Kaifeng, they did not stop and drop bombs over Shangcai when they came from Wuhan and Xinyang, which also put a lot of pressure on the fighting PLA soldiers. When I heard the roar of the plane approaching, I had to concentrate on dealing with it. At this time, all the artillery fire of the National Army in Shangcaicheng was deployed to the north of the city, firing fierce bombardments at the People's Liberation Army positions in the north and northwest of the city. Although Brigadier Hua Feng personally came to the front to command the battle, he still could not quickly break through the National Army. After fighting for a long time, the troops only captured a few strongholds on the periphery of Shangcai and failed to act as a greater deterrent to the enemy.
But Liang's third brigade was surprisingly successful. It didn't take much time to occupy the bridge over the Hong River to the east and north of Shangcai, and blocked the ferry at Hongkou.
Liu Xinghua seemed a little anxious and finally contacted the friendly forces on both sides. The Huaye column from the west had already arrived near Xiping. It was estimated that they could cross the Pinghan-Han Railway at night and reach the battlefield here early tomorrow morning; What came over was the main first column of the Central Plains Field Army. The commander of this column, Wang Yong, was also familiar to him.
After the Communist Party established the Central Plains Military Region, it had seven military divisions under its jurisdiction, and the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Field Army was also reorganized into the Central Plains Field Army. At this time, Wang Yong's first column had three brigades: the 1st, 2nd and 20th brigades. brigade, and the original 19th Brigade has been transferred to the Wanxi Military Region and has been integrated into the local area. After resting in the north of the Huaihe River, the first column has gradually regained its vitality, and its soldiers have also been replenished to a certain extent. Although it has not yet reached the level before advancing to the Dabie Mountains, its combat capabilities have been compared with when it just left the Dabie Mountains. Very big improvement.
However, Wang Yong¡¯s first column was not close, and it was estimated that it would be the morning of the next day when they arrived at the Shangcai battlefield.
"Haha, these reinforcements can't quench their thirst far away!" When he learned that his two friendly troops were still far away from the battlefield, Xiong Zhuoran couldn't help but let out a sigh, obviously worried about the outcome of this battle.
Liu Xinghua was just as worried as he was. The reports from Brigadier Huafeng and Brigadier Fangda did not make him optimistic. Although there was a lot of artillery fire around Shangcaicheng at this time and the sounds of killing were endless, he did not expect this newly formed The 49th Brigade of the National Army is also so difficult to deal with. It seems that the old saying is true, there is no weak soldier under a strong general. This Hu Congjun is indeed a leader in the National Army. Compared with other Kuomintang generals, he seems to be weak. So different.
"Withdraw the troops attacking the south gate and west, and devote them all to the battlefield northwest and north of Shangcai!" Liu Xinghua made a decision immediately. At this time, there is no power in feinting attacks by dividing his troops, and naturally there is no effect. It is not as good as Concentrate your strength and break through from one point. As long as you seize the peripheral positions to the north and northwest of Shangcai, you can attack the city with troops, and Hu Congjun will not be allowed to have any luck.
The combat staff officer took the order and left. Xiong Zhuoran looked at his old partner and understood the anxiety in his heart at this time. If Hu Congjun does not order his main force to return for reinforcements, then the battle to attack Shangcai will become meaningless, and it will be impossible to complete the task assigned by the military region.
"Old Liu, are we a bit desperate in fighting like this? What if the enemy makes a roundabout way to outflank us and sneak attack our rear like the last time in Chunshui Town?" He reminded Liu Xinghua. Indeed, in the last duel with the reorganized 11th Division, the Xianghe Column had already suffered such an obvious loss.
Liu Xinghua shook his head affirmatively and said: "Old Xiong, don't worry, Hu Congjun is not Zhang Xian. If Zhang Xian dares to do that, Hu Congjun will never dare to do it. Although his character is cunning, he is far less courageous than Zhang Xian." adventure!"
Xiong Zhuoran was a little dubious. Compared with Liu Xinghua, he had indeed not dealt with Hu Congjun for a long time, and his understanding of the enemy was far inferior to that of Liu Xinghua.
As if he could see that Xiong Zhuoran was still a little worried, Liu Xinghua tried to persuade him: "Old Xiong, you don't have to worry. Even if Hu Congjun has the courage, we don't have to be afraid. We still have a reserve group in hand that can be used!" "
Xiong Zhuoran thought for a moment and felt that Liu Xinghua was indeed right.
Hu Congjun really does not have the courage of Zhang Xian. He is not willing to take risks at all. This is his character.
Xu Haibo clearly felt the pressure from the north and northwest, and the enemies in the south and west of the city all retreated. He quickly saw that the enemies concentrated their forces on the north and northwest.
He came to the headquarters of the 11th Reorganized Division and reported to Hu Congjun the battle situation outside the city. The battle started at noon and had already arrived.You got the same amount of information from the Army Commander. These are just guesses that Wu Hua and I thought about for a long time. We felt that you two were not outsiders, so we told you! "
"Yes!" Wu Hua said quickly: "That's indeed the case, but I can't think of these. Ah Xian thought of them all by himself. However, looking at the situation at this time, it is similar to what he guessed. It comes to mind. This is what it looks like!¡±
Hearing what Zhang Xian and Wu Hua said, Wang Yuanling blushed a little. He felt that he was somewhat different from Zhang Xian. Why couldn't he think of this? He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just joking, just saying it casually!"
Zhang Xian also smiled and continued: "Actually, our time is also very tight. Commander Hu is also gambling. If we cannot defeat Liu Xinghua at dawn tomorrow, then the enemy's two lines of reinforcements will definitely catch up. At this time, the enemy will be surrounded by three groups, and we will be in danger. Only if we defeat Liu Xinghua first can we turn the spear and repel the other two groups of enemies and actively win this battle!"
Hearing what Zhang Xian said was so sinister, Wang Yuanling and Long Tianya couldn't help but nod their heads. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
