    Zhang Yi and Wu Xiaoyang each rode a horse, bypassing the wheat field to the west, crossing the small river, and turning back to Linzhuang. The two of them did not dare to delay even half a minute on the road, even though they had detoured when they came here.  It was a long way, but it was much faster than the two battalions of the national army, and they rushed into the village before they arrived at Linzhuang.

    At this time, Linzhuang was still in the midst of fierce fighting, but all the fighting took place in Dahezhuang to the south.  The temporary regiment guarding Dahezhuang knew that the leader of the vertical command headquarters was not prepared to withdraw from Linzhuang and wanted to defend this place to the death with them. Everyone tried their best and showed a desperate posture with the enemy.  , for a time, Xu Haibo's 49th Brigade was unable to move forward even half a step.  But as daylight dawned, Xu Haibo intensified his artillery fire, and Dahezhuang's position became somewhat precarious.

    Zhang Yi and Wu Xiaoyang quickly met the political commissar Xiong Zhuoran and reported to him that the two enemy battalions had bypassed the Xiadiguan position in the north and were approaching Linzhuang.

    After receiving this news, Xiong Zhuoran became a little embarrassed, because at this time, there were only two companies of armed forces in Linzhuang, and the force was already very empty.  He thought for a while, and now he could only send out these two companies, and before the enemy arrived, seize the key areas to the north and west of the village, and keep this sneak attack enemy out of the village.

    Zhang Yi volunteered to take on this blocking task.  He was originally the deputy battalion commander, so Xiong Zhuoran naturally handed over the two companies to him to lead.

    Zhang Yi knew that time was urgent at this time, and he did not bother to explain more. He and Wu Xiaoyang rushed to the outside of the village with two companies to set up defenses.  Linzhuang is surrounded by a circle of earth. It was a waterproof dam built by the villagers in the late Qing Dynasty to prevent floods from the river. Because water comes from the west and north, these two  The earthen dam in this direction was also built relatively tall and strong. At this time, this waterproof dam just became Zhang Yi's defensive position.

    Just when Zhang Yi and two companies had just finished setting up on the waterproof dam, he saw Long Tianya and the two battalions appearing in the northwest of the village. The driver in front was still the driver, Uncle Wang.

    "Here it comes!" Wu Xiaoyang lay next to Zhang Yi, looking a little strangely excited. He put his gun on the ground and prepared to aim at the riding officer.

    "Don't worry!" Zhang Yi was telling him, and at the same time told the correspondents around him: "Everyone, don't move yet, wait until the enemy gets close before fighting!"

    Wu Xiaoyang also knew this. The correspondent passed on Zhang Yi's order, and everyone was gearing up, waiting for the enemy to get closer.

    Long Tianya was very cautious at this time. When he saw Linzhuang, he stopped three miles away. Because it was a sneak attack, he did not bring artillery to test the cannon. He looked at the waterproof line outside the village.  Dam, if the enemy is prepared, he should definitely set up a position there.  However, the opponent's firepower, main position, and flanking positions were unknown. Advancing rashly would inevitably increase his casualties, so he decided to send people to conduct reconnaissance on the village first.

    At this time, it was impossible for the Communist Army headquarters not to be a little vigilant. The calmness ahead made Long Tianya somewhat intimidated.

    Several national soldiers escorted the guide, Uncle Wang, closer step by step. In order to prevent the guide from escaping again, they tied Uncle Wang's hands with a rope and asked him to lead the way.

    The driver, Uncle Wang, put his hands in front of him. As he walked, he was still making assurances to the squad leader of the National Army behind him: "Boss, I said I won't run but I don't dare to run. Please let go of my hands."  !¡±

    The national soldier who was escorting behind had a look of disdain on his face and said bitterly: "Old Wangtou, you have told me this several times. You have promised me this since we crossed the Hong River, but  You burrowed into the ground when I wasn't paying attention, do you think I'm a child?"

    "Boss, aren't I afraid?"

    "Are you afraid? Humph! You dare to run because you were afraid! Just now when you came out of that village, you tried to play tricks on me again. If our commander hadn't been here, I would have shot you to death, saving me the trouble of fighting with you!  "

    It turns out that Uncle Wang ran away again after coming out of the village. No wonder his hands were tied by the squad leader.  It's no wonder that they took the shortest route, but were much later than Zhang Xian.

    Uncle Wang stopped talking, knowing that the squad leader behind him had already had a prejudice against him, so he had no choice but to walk towards the village honestly.

    Long Tianya was also very cunning. He asked the soldiers to escort the guide to investigate the situation. In fact, he also wanted to test the reaction of the Communist troops in Linzhuang.  If something unexpected happens, this guide?There is simply no point in moving past.  At this time, the situation on the Shangcai battlefield was changing, and it was difficult to say that he could take the initiative.  At this time, in fact, he was reorganizing three brigades of the 11th Division to face the nine brigades of three columns of the People's Liberation Army. If the battle drags on for a long time and cannot be ended quickly, then the enemy is likely to rush in from near Kaifeng.  Will come over and eat him in one bite.

    Thinking of this, Hu Congjun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He remembered the battle of Suqian and the battle of Lunan. He was unwilling to follow in the footsteps of the reorganization of the 69th Division and the 26th Division.

    Hu Congjun faced the map and carefully studied the situation of the Battle of Shangcai. At this time, most of his two brigades were resisting the enemy's two columns in Linzhuang, northwest of the county; while the other brigade was on the east side of the city.  There was a fierce battle with another enemy column near Baigui Temple, ten miles away. Although his headquarters was in the middle, it seemed to be a little thinner.  What's more, the difference between the two positions is nearly thirty miles. This is already a long distance, and it is easy for the enemy to penetrate them and form a siege on a certain point.  It was at this time that the situation in West Linzhuang became more and more obvious.  Liu Xinghua defended Linzhuang, attracting his two brigades nearby, but the large forces of the People's Liberation Army were outflanking them. This was a strategy of center bloom and reverse encirclement.  If I still insist on taking Linzhuang, I am afraid that I will lose a lot of rice instead of stealing the chicken.

    Hu Congjun, who had always behaved cautiously, finally wavered at this time. He recalled the calligraphy test that the abbot of Shaolin Temple had given him.  The abbot told him that his Eighteenth Army would be defeated east of the Shaolin Temple at a place with two earth and two wood names in its name. Although as a soldier, he laughed it off, but the Battle of Luoyang that followed,  But it so truly verified the old monk's prediction that all this had to make him scruple.

    Linzhuang, these are two pieces of wood; Baigui Temple, these are two pieces of earth!

    Therefore, at this critical moment, Hu Congjun, as the commander of the reorganized 18th Army and the commander of the reorganized 11th Division, simultaneously issued an order to his three brigade commanders that was somewhat puzzling to everyone: Stop the attack immediately.  Retract to the surroundings of Shangcai City and use the city as a backing to form a powerful defensive circle.

    Hu Congjun¡¯s decision is the most stable and conservative for him. The starting point is to preserve his strength and hope to turn Shangcaicheng into another Nanma.

    However, this conservative tactic turned the originally very fierce attack of the reorganized 11th Division into nothing!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
