    At this time, on the battlefield of Baigui Temple to the east, the 31st Regiment and the 354th Regiment commanded by Zhang Xian had cleared all the positions of the 3rd Regiment of the Xianghe Column outside Tushan, and surrounded all the people of this regiment.  In the small forest on the top of the mountain, the artillery fire of the Nationalist Army came overwhelmingly. The forest was almost flattened by the powerful artillery fire, and the entire crowns of many trees were blown down.  It became a natural deer village, blocking the footsteps of the national army that rushed up from below. The road had to be cleared before they could move forward.

    The battle in Tushan was coming to an end. Although Zhang Xian felt relieved, he could not relax straightly. At this time, the focus of his battle had shifted to the banks of the Hong River.

    On the east bank of the Hong River, Qian Xiongfeng watched Xiong Gengfa dragging his wet body up to the position on the west bank, and together with Li Qingfeng, he tied the thick rope to the big willow tree.  After taking a breath, he immediately ordered the following troops to follow up and pull out three or four long ropes, so that those soldiers who were not good at water could also pull the ropes to cross the river.

    However, at this time, the river was full of blood. The first batch of hundreds of people swam across the river, but dozens of people had already lost their lives forever to the enemy's artillery fire and the ruthless water flow.

    The arrival of the 20th Brigade immediately made Huang Xinyuan, who was still struggling to support himself on the west bank of the Hong River, overjoyed. When the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment saw their reinforcements arriving, they all immediately became energetic, as if they were at this moment.  Victory is already in sight, and the retreating position suddenly stops. Although the enemy's artillery fire is extremely fierce, everyone has forgotten life and death. While avoiding the threat of enemy artillery fire, they can also attack those who dare to charge.  The army counterattacked.

    The two sides started a tug-of-war in their positions on the edge of the Hong River. Under the leadership of Huang Xinyuan, the fourth regiment did not retreat even half a step, but instead slowly moved forward.

    However, Xiong Kaiping commanded another position of the 4th Regiment, the 32nd Regiment of the National Army, and broke through with Mei Zhanyuan's rapid column. The once-blocked road from the east side of the Tushan position to the highway bridge was opened.  , the 32nd Regiment clashed out. With the cooperation of tanks and chariots, they quickly defeated the 4th Regiment's defensive position and joined forces with Zhang Xian and Chen Daxing.

    The troops of the Fourth Regiment besieging the 32nd Regiment of the National Army had to move closer to the riverbank position of the Hong River. Following them, the Third Regiment of the Xianghe Column also followed the 31st Regiment of the National Army and the 354th Regiment.  After being defeated by the joint attack, they saw that the 32nd enemy regiment and the fast column blocked by themselves in the southeast were already attacking eastward, so they rushed down from the mountain desperately to break through.

    The sudden turn of the third regiment of the Xianghe Column caught the battalion sent by Xiong Kaiping to defend south of Tushan somewhat unprepared. Taking advantage of their commanding heights, the enemy pounced on them like tigers descending the mountain. The battalion lost its tanks and  Coupled with the powerful firepower of the tanks, it was too much, so they had to tighten their positions and make way for a passage.  It was this passage that excited both Commander Gao and Political Commissar Xue of the Third Regiment. Their desperate efforts finally paid off. Without hesitation, they led the remnants of the Third Regiment, gave up the resistance at the Tushan position, and quickly  Through this open passage, following the fourth regiment, they met Huang Xinyuan and the 20th Nakano Brigade.

    Zhang Xian was dazzled by the rapid changes in the battle. During the battle, time passed quickly. All the soldiers on the battlefield forgot many things. They forgot hunger, fatigue, life and death, and  Lost humanity!  Many people have become murderous beasts. Here, either you die or I die!  In this way, half a day passed quickly without realizing it. At this time, Zhang Xian received Hu Congjun's order to stop the attack and retreat to Shangcai County.

    The same thrilling battle is also taking place in Linzhuang to the northwest.

    After Long Tianya discovered the strength of the People's Liberation Army on the Linzhuang Waterproof Dam, he first used mortar fire to suppress the firepower of Zhang Yi's troops, and then ordered the commandos of the 118th Brigade to disperse from the position.  Attack in a wide area.

    At this time, although the two companies of Zhang Yi and Wu Xiaoyang were condescending and had a great geographical advantage, they were unable to use it under the enemy's powerful mortar attack. Moreover, at this time, the enemy's aircraft also appeared in  Up in the sky, their position on the waterproof dam was exposed to enemy fighter jets with little concealment. The soldiers of these two companies had almost nowhere to hide.

    The enemy's plane swooped down. When it approached the village, the sound of cannons resounded through the sky. With this continuous movement, several People's Liberation Army soldiers fell on the position. Although Zhang Yi immediately ordered  The heavy machine gunner turned his gun and strafed the enemy aircraft, but the enemy aircraft climbed up the slope again, roaring?Before the enemy has formed a local advantage and starts attacking, complete Shang Cai's city defense as soon as possible!  "

    Zhang Xian thought for a while, but then asked with some suspicion: "Jun Zuo, is our situation so dangerous?"

    In Zhang Xian's view, there were only three enemy columns around Shangcai at this time, and their strength was similar to that of the reorganized 11th Division. If the reorganized 11th Division relied on its strong firepower and combat capabilities, it would be like this  Three columns surrounded them, and there was nothing they could do.  Furthermore, Liu Xinghua's Xianghe column had probably already lost a lot of troops at this time, and it was just a harassment at best.

    "Zhang Xian, we must never underestimate the enemy at any time!" Hu Congjun warned him, and at the same time said: "The battle in Kaifeng is over, and we don't need to send reinforcements there anymore. As far as I know, the various ministries that sent reinforcements to Kaifeng  , only our reorganized 11th Division received special care from the enemy. It was pursued and intercepted by three columns. The others were at most some local troops of the Communist Army or one column to block it. I am worried that if we cannot quickly get rid of the enemy,  If we get out of the entanglement, I'm afraid they will draw their troops from Kaifeng and surround us and reorganize the 11th Division! I have ordered the entire 3rd Division to be prepared to reinforce Shangcai. Once the enemy really does this, the 18th Division will be attacked.  The brigade will move in quickly from the south, but at this time, there is no need for us to spend more time with the enemy!"

    Only then did Zhang Xian understand Hu Congjun¡¯s painstaking efforts. He wanted to make adequate preparations first, just in case!

    At that moment, he had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Okay, Commander, I will obey the order!"

    As if he heard Zhang Xian's disobedience, Hu Congjun explained to him patiently: "Zhang Xian, do you still remember the calligraphy test we took in the Shaolin Temple when we fought in Luoyang last time?"

    "Remember!" Zhang Xian said honestly. Of course he would not forget this, and he was very impressed because the old monk took the test twice and the first prediction had been fulfilled.

    "Do you remember what he said, our 18th Army will suffer a catastrophe?"

    "Remember!"

    "He said that our Eighteenth Army will suffer somewhere east of Shaolin Temple. This place has two characters for earth and two characters for wood. The places where we are currently fighting with the enemy are Linzhuang and Baigui.  Temple, and we did not fight smoothly in this battle, Zhang Xian, do you think this is a coincidence?"

    Zhang Xian suddenly understood what Hu Congjun was thinking, and suddenly thought of King Oedipus in Greek mythology, the hero who received the oracle from the sun god. He had been shackled by fate since he was born, even though he had been thinking hard.  Fighting against fate, but ultimately unable to escape the tragic fate!

    Could it be that the tragedy of Oedipus King would really happen again in the Eighteenth Army?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
