    The day before the 11th Division arrived in Fuyang, Liu Xinghua had led the Xianghe column to the Flower Arrangement Collection on the north bank of the Yinghe River. It was nearly forty miles away from Fuyang City, but it was a gateway to the northeast of Fuyang and the gateway to Fuyang.  The only place you must pass on the nearest road to Mengcheng.

    When he just arrived here, Liu Xinghua received an urgent telegram from the Central Plains Field Army headquarters. The telegram informed him that the main force of the Central Plains Field Army had arrived around Suxian and was preparing to launch an attack on a division of Liu Ruming's department that occupied Suxian.  Suxian, cutting off the railway line from Xuzhou to Bengbu in the south, was a crucial move in this campaign.  According to the headquarters' deductions, the Kuomintang troops in Xuzhou must be going all out to rescue Huang Baitao's 7th Corps in the east. Although Liu Ruming's troops are said to be the newly formed 8th Corps, they are actually just a bunch of troops.  It is composed of local miscellaneous soldiers with no fighting ability at all.  Although the main force of the Central Plains Field Army was tired after a long march, it was obviously more than enough to deal with these non-main battle units of the national army.

    According to the battle plan of the Central Plains Field Army, its main force is preparing to capture the county seat of Suxian within two days. At this time, Li Yannian's Sixth Corps in the south has just been established, and it will definitely not be able to rescue Suxian in time. Therefore, the only people who can go to Suxian to assist are those from Henan.  The 12th Corps, which was transferred from the east, had arrived in Fuyang.  The original mission of the Xianghe Column and the Zhongye Column was to contain the eastward advance of the enemy's 12th Corps. At this time, the ability of these two columns to effectively complete this task has become the key to whether the main force of the Central Plains Field Army can capture Suxian County.  The essential.

    "There is nothing more to say!" Liu Xinghua took this telegram from the Central Plains Field Army Headquarters and said very seriously to Xiong Zhuoran and his three brigade commanders and nine regiment commanders: "We must defeat the enemy's tenth  The Second Corps is blocking the south bank of the Ying River!"

    Everyone was silent for a while. After a long time, Brigadier Liang San said with some embarrassment: "Commander, this mission is indeed a bit difficult!"

    Before Liu Xinghua could speak, Xiong Zhuoran said: "Yes, this task is very difficult. The enemy is divided into two groups and heading north. To the north are the 10th Army and the 14th Army, and to the south is its most elite 18th Army.  No matter in terms of military strength or combat power, we cannot compare with them, but no matter how difficult the task is, we must complete it!"

    Everyone fell silent, knowing the importance of this task. No one was absolutely sure that they could truly stop the advance of the 12th enemy regiment. For the entire Xianghe column, this was undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop the enemy.

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Xinghua also knew that everyone was doubting whether he could complete this task. He smiled and said confidently: "Haha, what's wrong with everyone? Isn't it just that Huang Wei is not allowed to go faster?  ? What is there? Don't be so gloomy. As the saying goes, when the soldiers come, they will stop it, and when the water comes, the villages will come. Haha, I am not afraid as a commander. Why, you brigade commanders and regiment commanders are afraid first?  "

    Hearing what their commander said, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Brigadier Hua Feng asked: "Commander, do you already have a good countermeasure?"

    Liu Xinghua said: "It's hard to say what a good countermeasure is, but as long as we all work together and complete the tasks assigned by above, it shouldn't be a problem to hold off the enemy for two days!"

    "Commander, tell me quickly, how are we going to fight?" Brigadier Fangda of the third brigade also asked impatiently.

    Liu Xinghua then said: "The headquarters requires our Xianghe column to hold off the enemy for at least two days and not allow them to cross the Guohe River before November 15th!"

    "So that's it!" Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Many people thought that the superiors wanted them to use all their strength to block the enemy's advance.

    "Haha, we can set up defenses on the north bank of the Ying River. The Ying River is deep and wide, and the enemy cannot wade on foot. This is our best choice!" Liu Xinghua continued to tell everyone: "The enemy is advancing in two directions, so we have to divide it.  To block the attack, the first brigade will set up defenses in Huzhuang, Nanyuan and other places opposite Fuyang, and the second brigade will set up defenses on the other side of the Ying River in Taihe. The third brigade will be mobile and ready to provide assistance to the two places at any time!"

    "Yes!" the three brigade commanders answered in unison.

    Liu Xinghua finally said: "This time our mission is to try to prevent the enemy from crossing the river smoothly. It is impossible to completely stop their progress. Therefore, we just want to complete the mission without causing too many casualties! In order  Just in case, once the enemy breaks through the Yinghe defense line, your two brigades must retreat quickly and you must not fight with them, otherwise it will only be us who will suffer!"

    Xiong Zhuoran said with some worry: "If the enemy breaks through the Yinghe River quickly and we have not achieved our goal, what should we do?"

    &nbsReforms had already been carried out in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other places twenty years ago. At that time, the Red Army also relied on this policy to win over most of the farmers.  Although these policies are very cruel and bloody, for the Communist Party, they are very effective in winning people's hearts.

    But more and more people were gathering on the river bank. These were the soldiers of the 32nd Regiment in the vanguard. After the battle in Honghe, Zhang Xian put the 31st Regiment in the back and the 32nd Regiment in the front.

    Some people were already looking for materials to cross the river. Someone found a small wooden boat among the reeds in the distance and pulled it over excitedly. So someone suggested rowing the boat across the river to the other side of the river.  We also brought those small boats over, and then we could build a pontoon bridge.

    Several people took action immediately. Under the command of a company commander, they jumped out of the boat and rowed to the other side of the river. Zhang Xian and Yang Tao stood at a height and watched the soldiers rowing to the other side. Zhang Xian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.  It felt so right that I quickly called Xiong Sanwa, wanting to order him to quickly notify the company commander and ask him to be on guard. However, before Xiong Sanwa could run over, a gun rang out in the woods opposite.

    With the first gunshot, the company commander standing on the bow of the boat fell into the river. Then, gunshots rang out in the woods opposite, while several people on the two small boats hid again and again.  With nowhere to hide, and nowhere to hide, I turned around desperately, trying to paddle back to the shore. However, a mortar shell landed accurately and exploded on the river near the boat, setting off several waves.  The waves are ten feet high.

    The guns and cannons were not just aimed at the small boat that had not reached the middle of the river, but the real purpose was the national soldiers who were still in chaos on the river beach.  The soldiers of the 32nd Regiment retreated behind the river embankment, but some people still fell on the cold river beach. The bright red blood reflected the scorched yellow land, and soon became patches of black and purple.  Red water splashed on the river. In the blink of an eye, the boat that was rippling just a moment ago overturned on the river, and the soldiers on the boat were gone without a trace!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
