    After crossing the Ru River from Runan Port, it was completely dark. Zhang Xian ordered the troops to light torches and rush towards Xincai. At the same time, he constantly contacted the 31st Regiment in front to determine the location of that regiment.

    It wasn't until he received a report from the regiment leader Bai Jingsheng from the radio phone that he had arrived at Xincai City that he was half relieved. At the same time, he asked him about the situation around Xincai City. He found no one there.  When Communist troops appeared, he immediately ordered Bai Jingsheng to leave a battalion to guard the county town to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops of the 11th Division. His two main regiments crossed the Hong River overnight and occupied the ferry on the north bank of the Hong River.

    After this order was issued, Zhang Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Haha, Ah Xian, maybe our worries are unfounded. The communist army discovered by the reconnaissance plane is not coming for us!" Wu Hua guessed next to Zhang Xian.

    Without waiting for Zhang Xian to answer, Chief of Staff Pan next to him said: "Old Wu, Commander, this is just in case. If they really come for us and we are still so slow, wouldn't it be bad?"  Already?"

    Zhang Xian also nodded.

    While he was talking, the phone operator transferred the call from Bai Jingsheng of the 31st Regiment in front of him. Zhang Xian couldn't help but was startled. He had just finished talking to Commander Bai. If something unexpected hadn't happened, Bai Jingsheng wouldn't have been like this.  He called again soon, and his heart skipped a beat.

    Sure enough, Bai Jingsheng¡¯s angry curse came from the other side of the phone: ¡°Damn it, division commander, there are indeed Communist troops on the other side of the river, and the first batch of us who crossed the river were beaten back by them!¡±

    Zhang Xian was suddenly startled and asked quickly: "Are there many gunshots on the other side of the river? Is there any artillery fire?"

    ¡°The gunshots were messy, but there was no artillery fire!¡± Bai Jingsheng told him.

    Zhang Xian's face immediately became serious, and he said decisively: "Captain Bai, there won't be many enemies on the other side of the river. They may be the vanguard troops that have just arrived from the Communist Army. Your regiment will immediately organize a counterattack. One battalion will cross the river frontally, and one battalion will come from behind.  Take a detour downstream to cross the river, and be sure to capture the ferry on the opposite side in the shortest possible time! Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to capture the ferry when the enemy's large forces arrive!"

    "Yes!" Bai Jingsheng answered loudly. When he put down the phone, Zhang Xian could hear the harsh gunshots coming from his phone.

    "There are really enemy troops on the other side of the Hong River?" Wu Hua couldn't help being a little surprised.

    Zhang Xian nodded, and at the same time ordered the main force of the 11th Division to speed up the march, and detached a battalion to be specially transported by the automobile company to strengthen support for the 31st Regiment.

    At this time, on the north bank of the Hong River in the north of Xincai County, Xia Yang's third company arrived here first. Under the personal leadership of Xia Yang, this company trotted all the way from the north and separated the first company and the second company.  Lian was also far behind.  It was Xia Yang's company that fought with Bai Jingsheng.

    Xia Yang believes that as a company commander, he must take responsibility for himself. Although he has just taken over the company and many squad leaders still don't recognize it, he is very aware of the power of role models, so he took the lead in this urgent march.  At the front of the team.

    However, although he wanted the entire company to keep up with his pace, many people still fell behind, and some even simply sat on the side of the road to catch their breath and rest.  Xia Yang slowed down and asked the instructor Ge Bo to lead the team forward. He turned to the back of the team and saw that the soldier sitting on the ground was the machine gunner of the company, Big Man Li. Indeed, Big Man Li was carrying all the soldiers.  Even the only part of the Maxim heavy machine gun weighed thirty or forty kilograms, so it was no wonder that he was exhausted.  Xia Yang did not criticize him for delaying, but just said to him: "You take a break first, catch up later, I will carry the barrel!" After saying that, before he could react, he grabbed the parts of the heavy machine gun and carried it on the  He climbed over his shoulders and turned around to catch up with the team in front.

    This big man Li couldn't hold on anymore. He stood up and chased after him, trying to carry his gun parts again, but Xia Yang stubbornly carried them on his shoulders and strode away.  Big Li wanted to catch up, but he was held back by Xiao Ling, the deputy machine gunner who caught up from behind. Xiao Ling said in a low voice: "Since Company Commander Xia is willing to carry it, let him carry it and see how long he can carry it!"

    Big Li was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Xiao Ling meant.  Captain Xia has just arrived. Although he has heard from Battalion Commander Zhang Yi about his abilities, everyone still has some stances that they don¡¯t agree with. For this operation, although everyone was asked to speed up and arrive before the enemy reaches Honghe.  At the ferry on the north bank of the Hong River, Captain Xia seemed to have taken stimulants, giving no one a chance to breathe.  The third company has already surpassed the other companies and is running at the front of the team. This is already very good.Avoid enemy fire.

    Xia Yang still regrets a little. They arrived a little too late and didn't even have time to build a fortification. At this time, if there was a trench, their casualties could be reduced to a great extent.

    "The enemy has crossed the river again!" Instructor Ge shouted. Although he couldn't see the torches on the river, he could hear the noise on the river.

    "Push the enemy back!" Xia Yang shouted without thinking: "The first row went to the left to organize firepower, the second row went to the right to organize firepower, and the third row followed me to block the frontal attack here!"

    At this time, the three platoon leaders all obeyed Xia Yang's dispatch without objection. Only instructor Ge understood that Xia Yang wanted to organize a three-dimensional firepower network to focus on attacking the enemies who landed ashore. The terrain here could only  So arranged.  The Hong River here is a river bend that bulges to the north. When the enemy comes from the south bank, it can form a pocket surrounded on three sides and open on one side.

    However, neither Xia Yang nor Ge Bo expected that Bai Jingsheng on the other side of the river would come up with another plan at this time. After all, compared with Captain Bai, these two people still had too little experience.

    While there was a fierce exchange of fire here, particularly noisy gunfire rang out from the east. Xia Yang was stunned and suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.  At this time, the first platoon that went to the left according to Xia Yang's order retreated back under the leadership of the platoon leader and reported to him urgently: "Company Commander, the enemy has crossed the river from the lower reaches.  And they are outflanking us!"

    "What should I do? Xia Yang?" Ge Bo also asked hurriedly.

    "Our troops are too few!" Xia Yang said helplessly, and at the same time asked the platoon leader: "How many of the enemy's people are crossing the river?"

    But the platoon leader shook his head and said honestly: "You can't see clearly in the dark, but when they fired at us, you could see the sound! Several of our comrades were hit, and we couldn't hold on and had to withdraw."  Got it!"

    At this time, on the river beach in front, the sound of the military bugle of the Nationalist army coming ashore and rushing towards this direction was heard. This was like an order, and the Nationalist soldiers who were still wandering and hesitating in the middle of the river felt as if they were eating.  Taking stimulants, he rushed towards the north bank with all his strength.

    A shining flare rose from the shore and accurately hit the sky above the main position of the third company, exposing most of the soldiers of the third company to the bright light.  As this flare was annihilated, the sound of artillery across the river rang out again, and according to the instructions of the flare, it landed in the center of the third company's position

    "Company commander, withdraw!" the platoon leader suggested first.

    Xia Yang was still hesitant. He was very unwilling. If his backup troops could arrive quickly, he would not hesitate to engage in hand-to-hand combat. He believed that with his high fighting spirit, in the melee, he would definitely win.  Enemies can be driven across the river again.

    However, I don¡¯t know where my backup is yet. The third company ran too fast and lost contact with the troops behind!

    "Xia Yang, we have to withdraw, none of us can withstand it!" Ge Bo covered his ears while shouting loudly amidst the rumbling artillery fire. Even so, he was almost blown up by the enemy's exploding shells.  Deaf ears.

    Xia Yang also knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would undoubtedly be seeking death. At that moment, he had no choice but to nod his head and give the order to retreat!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
