    While the fierce fighting was going on at Baigui Temple to the east of Shangcai, Linzhuang in the northwest of the city also became a focus of the battle.

    Liu Xinghua never expected that Hu Congjun would react so quickly. Half of his column headquarters had been withdrawn from Linzhuang, but half of the personnel and baggage had not been transferred in time. As the commander of the column, of course he had to  I took responsibility for myself and couldn't show too much panic, so I decided to be the last one to withdraw.

    The reorganized 118th Brigade was already fighting a fierce battle with the Zongzhi Guard Battalion at Xiadiguan in the north. The Second Brigade and the Third Brigade withdrew from Shangcaicheng. Liu Xinghua did not expect that the two brigades would withdraw at such a speed.  So quickly, before all his vertical and horizontal organs had been withdrawn, the two brigades had already retreated farther west than Linzhuang.  It seems that these two brigades have been reluctant to besiege Shangcaicheng. In fact, they had already made preparations to withdraw from the siege. Once they received the order to withdraw, they naturally retreated much faster than Liu Xinghua imagined.  .

    Following closely behind the Second and Third Brigades was the National Army's Reorganized 49th Brigade. It was originally following those two brigades in a cautious pursuit to the west, but after Xu Haibo received Hu Congjun's order,  Immediately and quickly turning around, a regiment of the 49th Brigade had arrived near Linzhuang. Under Xu Haibo's order, this regiment took the lead in attacking Linzhuang.

    Fortunately, Liu Xinghua also deployed a miscellaneous reserve team around Linzhuang. It was said to be a miscellaneous team, but in fact it was a regiment pieced together from the remnants of the Xianghe Column. It was a temporary regiment. After this battle, Liu Xinghua also ordered each battalion to  Lian returned to his original organization and served as the main force.

    This temporary regiment was personally commanded by Liu Xinghua. There were also three battalions and nine companies below, but the personnel were a bit uneven. It was said to be a regiment, but in fact it only had more than half a regiment of troops, more than 1,2300 people.

    The temporary regiment and a regiment under Xu Haibo soon took over the fire at Dahezhuang, south of Linzhuang. Dahezhuang was next to Linzhuang. The two villages were less than one mile apart, and the sound of gunfire could be heard over there.  Just like being by your own side.

    "Commander! You'd better leave first!" Wu Xiaoyang hurriedly ran over from Dahe Village in the south and suggested to Liu Xinghua.

    Looking at the busy telegraph staff in the room, Liu Xinghua shook his head and said, "I won't leave!"

    In the yard, two soldiers carried a wooden box out of the house. A shell whizzed past and exploded in the adjacent yard. The huge shock wave shook the ground. The two  The soldier wanted to move the box onto the carriage parked outside the yard, but was startled by the sound of the cannon. The box fell to the ground, cracked, and the documents inside were scattered all over the floor.

    Liu Xinghua frowned and said to everyone in the courtyard: "Why are you panicking? The enemy can't attack here yet! Even if they attack, I, the commander, are not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

    Seeing that his commander was so calm and everyone calmed down, the two soldiers carrying the box laughed sheepishly and hurriedly picked up the documents scattered on the floor.

    "Commander, you'd better leave first!" Wu Xiaoyang seemed particularly urgent. He had just come from the Dahezhuang position and knew the situation there. He was afraid that the temporary regiment would not be able to block the enemy's attack.

    Liu Xinghua became a little impatient. He looked back at him and said, "The enemy hasn't attacked yet. Why are you anxious?"

    Being snatched away by Liu Xinghua, Wu Xiaoyang's face turned red and white, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade the chief.

    Zhang Yi ran in from outside the yard with Tiedan. He was arranged by Liu Xinghua to help transfer the wounded. As soon as he saw him, Liu Xinghua immediately asked: "How is the transfer of the wounded going?"

    Zhang Yidao: "That's almost it. The last wounded person has left Linzhuang and is being transferred to Nannie Village according to your order!"

    Hearing the news, Liu Xinghua let out a sigh of relief. His biggest concern was the transfer of the rear hospitals and the wounded. Zhang Yi was indeed very capable and had completed this task in such a short period of time. It seemed that he had carefully planned this task.  The person you train is also someone who can be entrusted with big responsibilities in the future.

    At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and in the eastern sky, the haze of the night was dissipating.

    "Okay, it's time for us to leave!" Liu Xinghua looked at the messy courtyard and finally gave the order.

    Hearing this order, Wu Xiaoyang finally felt relieved.

    Xiong Zhuoran suddenly ran in from outside. When he saw Liu Xinghua's face, he became furious and reported to him: "I have understood that when the second brigade and the third brigade withdrew, they did not let go.  A troop provided cover, Brigadier Huafeng?Aren¡¯t you still bumping heads and returning?  The final result is that we become stronger as we fight, but what about you?  Now the war has been transferred from the liberated areas to your Kuomintang-controlled areas. Look at you, you have lost Shimen, you have lost Luoyang, and now you are about to lose Kaifeng!  As the saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Zhang Xian, you are also a person. In this situation, can't you see it?  As an old friend, I would like to advise you that the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang will not last long, so you should think about your own way out!  "

    Zhang Xian also frowned. Huang Xinyuan¡¯s words were not unreasonable. The successive defeats of the national army had already lost all the advantages gained after the war of resistance. At this time, the Communist Party could fully compete with the Kuomintang face to face.  However, although the national army suffered a lot of losses, it was not completely at a disadvantage and still had considerable strength.  At that moment, he responded to Huang Xinyuan and said: "Now you are jumping to the conclusion that your Communist Party will win. This is too arbitrary! We are now competing in the Central Plains. The decisive battle has not yet been fought, and it is still unclear who will win! Victory or defeat is a matter of victory.  It¡¯s common practice among military strategists. You only talk about your victories, why don¡¯t you talk about the defeats you fought? Talk about your battle at Siping, talk about your battle at Nanma, or maybe talk about your actions in the Dabie Mountains.  ah!"

    The Dabie Mountains were a nightmare for the Central Plains Field Army. The Central Plains soldiers knew this very well.

    Seeing that Zhang Xian was really eloquent, Huang Xinyuan knew that he was far inferior to his opponent in terms of eloquence. When he was in the Eighteenth Army, he had a deep understanding of it. At this time, arguing with Zhang Xian on the battlefield was purely selfish.  Looking for humiliation.  He decided to end this debate with no guarantee of victory, so he finally said: "Zhang Xian, what the people want, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. I don't want to tell you any more nonsense. Who wins and who loses, history will always tell."  It¡¯s a conclusion. Let¡¯s gain true knowledge through battle and see who is more powerful!¡±

    Zhang Xian agreed with this sentence, but retorted: "Huang Xinyuan, you said that it is good to fight to see the true knowledge. This world was conquered by force, and everything else is false. As for what you advocate, the Communist Party  Those who win the hearts and minds of the people are all lies, and the common people are the best to be deceived. Haha! He who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world, which is true, but that is when the world is ruled; the only way to conquer the world is with force.  Otherwise, how could the Mongolian Tatars and the Manchu and Qing Tatars take over the Central Plains?"

    It was difficult for Huang Xinyuan to refute Zhang Xian's words, but he was a little strange. The reason why he was willing to argue with Zhang Xian was to delay time. The day had already dawned, and at dawn, his reinforcements arrived.  At that time, in the distance, the hustle and bustle of the 20th Brigade had already appeared on the east bank of the Hong River. Seeing that the dust head was only a few miles away, this Zhang Xian was still unaware of it!  Thinking of this, Huang Xinyuan was secretly proud, thinking that Zhang Xian had finally been fooled this time.

    But, is Zhang Xian really so easy to deceive?

    Suddenly, Huang Xinyuan discovered that there were several noises coming from under the highway bridge. Someone was obviously flowing in the river below, making the water flow loudly. However, the sky was still a little dark just now, so he didn't pay attention.  There would be people in the river under the bridge. It was not until this time that the sky was brightening, and he discovered that at some point, the national army on the other side of the road had pulled out a long cable straight to the middle of the highway bridge.  .

    "No! The enemy is going to blow up the bridge!" Huang Xinyuan immediately realized that Zhang Xian had not been idle just now. While debating with him, he was already quietly arranging for engineers to blow up the bridge.

    Just when Huang Xinyuan reacted and shouted, he heard a deafening explosion, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and everyone fell down in the ditch on the roadside involuntarily.

    After a long time, after the smoke and dust dissipated, this originally strong reinforced concrete highway bridge had been severed from the middle, and the remaining bridge frames also collapsed into the river.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
