After listening to Zhang Yi¡¯s account, Brigadier Liang San also realized the seriousness of the situation, and sent someone to send Zhang Yi and Tiedan to Linzhuang as quickly as possible to meet the commander Liu Xinghua.
Liu Xinghua was very surprised to see Zhang Yi's appearance, but at this time, Zhang Yi did not bother to explain to him, and told him everything about seeing the National Army's 118th Brigade building a bridge in Honghe. After he came out and finished speaking, Zhang Yi said again: "Commander, the enemy left the highway bridge alone and went all the way to build the bridge. There must be a conspiracy! They must want to make a sneak attack!"
Liu Xinghua and Xiong Zhuoran listened to Zhang Yi's words, but their hearts were beating wildly. It was obvious that it was exactly what Zhang Yi had guessed. The enemy was going to kill them unexpectedly, making them unable to guard against them.
Seeing Zhang Yi's exhausted look, Liu Xinghua felt a little heartbroken. He felt like a father and son and a brother to this subordinate whose injury had not yet been healed. He complained a few words to him and asked Wu Xiaoyang to take care of him. Let him rest.
Looking at Zhang Yi's leaving figure, Xiong Zhuoran also felt a little emotional and couldn't help but said: "Old Liu, you were right to criticize Zhang Yi for being undisciplined just now, haha, but if it weren't for his undiscipline, we might We are really going to be caught off guard by the enemy. Then the enemy will attack from both sides, and our Xianghe Column will probably suffer heavy losses again!"
Liu Xinghua nodded. His criticism of Zhang Yi was necessary, but for him at this time, the most critical issue was how to face the Shangcai battlefield that suddenly took a turn for the worse.
"The enemy has returned!" Liu Xinghua said: "Our goal has been achieved, and it is meaningless to besiege Caicheng again!" After saying that, he turned around and informed the correspondent beside him: "You immediately notify the second and third brigades. , stop the attack on Shangcaicheng and quickly retreat westward to Baichiji, Yangge, Fanzhuang, and Xiaopo areas!"
The correspondent took the order, and then Liu Xinghua immediately sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy coming from the north. At the same time, he ordered the regiment of Liang's third brigade guarding Hongqiao to move west immediately in order to intercept the enemy's appearance on the battlefield. 18th Brigade.
Xiong Zhuoran admired Liu Xinghua for his decisiveness and kept nodding his head. After hearing that he had completed the arrangements, he asked again: "All our troops have withdrawn from the battlefield, so where will our vertical headquarters go?" ?¡±
Liu Xinghua thought for a moment and said slowly: "Go to Changwan in the west!"
Hearing what Liu Xinghua said, Xiong Zhuoran immediately arranged for the vertical command to clean up.
However, Liu Xinghua kept staring at the map, his expression getting heavier and heavier, he couldn't help but sigh, and said with some worry: "This time, I'm afraid we will lose another regiment!"
Xiong Zhuoran was slightly startled and asked quickly: "Old Liu, is it so serious?"
Liu Xinghua nodded affirmatively and said to him: "The enemy's trick is too insidious. Although we have thought that Hu Congjun will transfer his main force back from Shangshui, this Hu Congjun did not give us any signs during the day. I thought he was trying hard, but I didn't know that he secretly moved the troops in front! This Hu Congjun wants to eat us in one bite!"
Xiong Zhuoran nodded. Liu Xinghua's analysis was indeed good, and it was actually the same. He immediately said: "Fortunately, the enemy was discovered by us just after they arrived at Honghe. If we really want them to enter the battlefield, it will be too late for us to discover them again!"
"Yes!" Liu Xinghua nodded, but then shook his head and said honestly: "Old Xiong, we still found it too late."
"oh?"
Liu Xinghua came to the map, pointed to the west of the battlefield, and said worriedly: "Don't think about it, the enemy's purpose must be to annihilate our column! The enemy's 118th Brigade crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Hong River in order to bypass it. Hongqiao, when we were not aware of it, surrounded us from the west, leaving us with no way out! At this time, although we had discovered their purpose, the two brigades attacking the city at this time only had to withdraw from the battle. I was afraid that it would take two or three hours to complete, so I could only ask the second regiment of Liang San's first brigade stationed at Hongqiao to insert diagonally to the west in order to buy time for the large troops to retreat. This task was too difficult, I was afraid The second regiment will be like the first regiment at Xiangheguan"
He didn¡¯t finish his words, but Xiong Zhuoran already understood what he meant. His heart was also lifted, but he said comfortingly: "Maybe the enemy didn't expect that we would discover their whereabouts, which might catch the second regiment off guard!"
Liu Xinghua nodded. Xiong Zhuoran's words are not unreasonable. At this time, the enemy troops from the north are pressing down on the battlefield. If a regiment is used to block the attack, and it is such a night, the enemy may not have the advantage as much as himself. Maybe there will be a turn for the better.??Still very angry.
Xiong Zhuoran said: "Didn't Captain Gao say that the battle will be over before dawn? It's already past three o'clock, and it will be dawn at five o'clock at most. The battle can be over in two hours!"
"Two hours?" Liu Xinghua didn't believe it. He still knew his troops well, but asked Xiong Zhuoran: "Do you believe it?"
Xiong Zhuoran also hesitated for a moment, but still said luckily: "Maybe!"
"Impossible!" Liu Xinghua said with certainty: "The enemy's reorganized 11th Brigade is over there at this time. Commander Gao did not find the enemy's main force and only saw a tank troop coming. Do you think Zhang Xian will let his fast column Are you being kicked out of our group? What a joke!"
Hearing what Liu Xinghua said, Xiong Zhuoran also felt that something was wrong. The battle over there was by no means as simple as Captain Gao said.
At this time, fierce gunfire was heard from the north of Linzhuang. A scout who had been sent out earlier was covered in blood and carried by two soldiers to Liu Xinghua, reporting to him what was going on in the north. enemy situation.
At this time, the second regiment of Liang San Brigade had already engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, but it could not stop the enemy's main force. Only part of the troops of the 118th Brigade were entangled with the second regiment, while other troops were still striding towards Linzhuang. Rushing forward, they had already arrived at Xiadiguan and were exchanging fire with the guard battalion in Zhongzhi. It was obvious that the enemy already knew that Linzhuang was the headquarters of the Xianghe Column, which was less than ten miles away.
This is really depressing news. At this time, there is still a reserve regiment in the vertical command headquarters, but it is temporarily put together. Even Liu Xinghua himself doubts the combat effectiveness of this regiment, and his best solution is to Have the headquarters move immediately. This is already imminent.
"Old Liu, we still have to move immediately!" Xiong Zhuoran also became a little anxious.
Liu Xinghua nodded and looked around the headquarters. There were still two telegraph machines working at this time, and the others had been packed up. When he was about to order the telegraph team to put away the telegraph machines and evacuate immediately, the telegraph machine But the commander hurriedly ran to him holding a telegram: "Commander, urgent telegram from Nakano Izong!"
Liu Xinghua and Xiong Zhuoran were both stunned. Zhongye Yizong was the reinforcement coming from the east. He immediately took the telegram and couldn't help but overjoyed and said with a smile: "Haha, this Wang Yong is really good. The key is The time has come!¡±
Xiong Zhuoran received the telegram and saw that it said: "Commander Liu, our forwards have almost arrived at Honghe Tower Bridge. We are eagerly looking forward to news from your department!"
Xiong Zhuoran returned the telegram to Liu Xinghua, but asked: "Our reinforcements are coming, what should we do?"
Liu Xinghua pondered for a moment and suddenly made a bold decision: "Old Xiong, I don't think Captain Gao's third regiment has to withdraw. I want to see how capable Zhang Xian is and how he can eat us." group!"
Xiong Zhuoran was startled and immediately understood his intention. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
