    The Eighteenth Army moved very quickly. After a night of emergency repairs at Huiliuji, the Engineer Battalion had erected two pontoon bridges on the Ying River. The entire army successfully crossed the Ying River at noon, and the 118th Division went straight to the northwest.  ¡¯s flower arrangement collection, while the 11th Division advanced opposite Fuyang in the upstream direction of the Ying River to clear out the enemy blocking the corps from crossing the river in that direction.

    Hui Liu Ji, after all, is located thirty miles southeast of Fuyang. It is too detoured. There are tens of thousands of follow-up troops of the Twelve Corps. If they all go around here to cross the river, it will definitely take at least one extra day of effort.  Therefore, building a bridge across the river from Fuyang City is the key to solving the problem.

    But it did not go beyond Zhang Xian's expectation. The 11th Division carefully advanced northwest along the Ying River. According to Commander Yang Tao's plan, they had reached the other side of Fuyang before dusk, but it was already here.  When people go to Linkong, let alone encounter the Xianghe column, there is not even a shadow of a person. They only find a bunch of defensive trenches excavated by the People's Liberation Army on the river embankment and the woods on the edge.

    The situation encountered by the 118th Division and the 11th Division was basically the same. Liu Xinghua had led the Xianghe Column to move away from the Huajiji area to avoid a frontal battle with the 18th Army.

    Although it took two days in Fuyang, the 18th Army finally eliminated the enemies in front of it and opened the passage to the north.

    The follow-up troops of the 12th Corps arrived one after another. The fast column was responsible for building bridges across the Ying River on the edge of Fuyang. There was a bridge-building materials company under the fast column. This was actually an engineering company that built bridges for the fast column to cross the river. But they  The equipment and materials used are much more advanced than those of ordinary army engineers, and there are standardized materials applications.  The so-called standard materials are some processed steel structure bridge components. As long as piles are driven on the river to be crossed or the bridge foundation is laid, a steel bridge can be quickly erected, allowing those tanks and war fighters to  The car passed smoothly.

    Commander Huang Wei was very satisfied with the actions of the Eighteenth Army. He did not stop in Fuyang and ordered the troops to continue marching towards Mengcheng.

    After crossing the Ying River, there are still several rivers between Fuyang and Mengcheng, but they do not have the water volume and width of the Ying River. Most of them can be crossed on foot.  The largest river in the middle is the Xifei River. Because it is the dry season in winter, the amount of water is not large and you can also wade on foot.

    In addition to these rivers, there is the endless Huaibei Plain ahead. Occasionally there are some raised hills, but they can no longer stop the iron hoofs of the Twelve Corps.  Zhang Xian, however, knew very well that the road ahead was not smooth, but rather unforeseen dangers.

    *************************

    Liu Xinghua led the Xianghe Column and left the area on the north bank of the Yinghe River just one step ahead of the Eighteenth Army of the National Army. For him, as long as he could complete the tasks assigned by his superiors, it would be considered a success. There was no need to confront the Eighteenth Army head-on.  Besides, even if he really had to fight the Eighteenth Army, he had no confidence that he could win. It would be better to retreat first and conserve his strength to wait for the opportunity.

    Liu Xinghua's decision was indeed the best strategy for the Xianghe Column, but for the many cadres and soldiers in the Xianghe Column, it was a bit confusing, so complaints naturally came out. Here, especially  Wu Xiaoyang can be used as a representative.

    This time, Wu Xiaoyang did not talk nonsense behind his back. While walking behind Liu Xinghua, he asked him: "Commander, why don't we fight with the enemy's 18th Army before leaving?"

    Liu Xinghua looked back at him, but asked him leisurely: "Xiao Wu, do you think our Xianghe Column can defeat the enemy's 18th Army?"

    "Of course!" Wu Xiaoyang said firmly and without hesitation.

    "Oh?" Liu Xinghua and Xiong Zhuoran next to him couldn't help but smile knowingly. Xiong Zhuoran asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu, what do you think we can do?"

    Wu Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said: "If you can, you can, what's there to say?" He said, and then said: "This Eighteenth Army has been fighting with us for so long, and we have been avoiding them.  It¡¯s really frustrating. Now we need people and guns. We are no worse than them, so why can¡¯t we defeat them?¡±

    After talking for a long time, Wu Xiaoyang didn't say that he was ugly.

    Liu Xinghua and Xiong Zhuoran looked at each other and smiled again. He knew that Wu Xiaoyang was not very good, but he also knew that his idea was very common in the Xianghe column.

    Xiong Zhuoran said: "Xiao Wu, not all Kuomintang soldiers can be defeated with one blow. This Eighteenth Army is their trump card unit. Haha, we have fought with them many times, but we rarely take advantage. Think about it.  Think of Dabie Mountain, Liulin, Xiangheguan, Shangcai and Huaiyang?Saved me, of course I have to go see her!  "

    Zhang Yi smiled and said to them: "Then let's go see her together! But you should complete your tasks first!"

    After he said this, everyone agreed and walked into Zheng Village together.

    Arriving at the hospital¡¯s management office, Wu Xiaoyang took people to deliver the medicines to the director in charge, while Zhang Yi took Tiedan and Xia Yang to inquire about a doctor nearby.  When the doctor told them that the female soldier from the political team who had been sent that day had been rescued and was not dead, the three of them couldn't help but cheer together, and Tiedan burst into tears.

    At the moment, following the doctor's guidance, the three people came out of the management office, walked along the narrow alley, and went to the house of an aunt in the east of the village to visit Chunni, who was recovering from her injuries.  Due to limited conditions, many seriously injured patients in the hospital were accommodated and cared for in the homes of fellow villagers.

    Before they reached the east of the village, a female warrior with two braids carrying a medicine box came out of a house. Because she was walking too hastily, she bumped into Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi quickly helped her  When he looked at her carefully, he recognized that it was Xiaolan Xiaolan who he and Wu Xiaoyang were most afraid of seeing when they arrived at the health center.  This Xiaolan was originally a professional nurse at the rear hospital of the Xianghe Column. She had the best relationship with Xu Xiaoman. She was not very old, only two or three years older than Tiedan, but her mouth was very powerful.  All the soldiers who had stayed in the health center were afraid of her.  The last time it was because Wu Xiaoyang and Zhang Yi casually commented on Xu Xiaoman, she overheard it, so she ran to the chief to complain, and then Zhang Yi and Wu Xiaoyang were severely criticized by Liu Xinghua.  I came to the health center again and spent a long time examining myself, which made me look disgraced.

    "Zhang Yi!" Xiaolan also recognized Zhang Yi and called out his name in surprise.

    Zhang Yi was extremely embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and call her name vaguely: "Xiao Lan!"

    "Haha, Zhang Yi, are you here to see Xu Xiaoman?" Xiaolan blurted out, without any hindrance.

    Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and Xia Yang beside him was also stunned. He was willing to follow Zhang Yi to this military hospital. In fact, in his heart, he didn't just want to visit the injured Chunni, but he really wanted to see her.  His classmate Xu Xiaoman.

    "Haha, Zhang Yi, do you know? Sister Xiaoman misses you. Even if she doesn't say it, she can't hide it from me!" Xiaolan still said without any scruples: "You came just in time, I will take you  Go find him!" After saying that, he held Zhang Yi's hand, not caring that he was also a woman.

    Xia Yang's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt as if his heart had been pinched hard.

    Zhang Yi was extremely embarrassed. It was neither right to follow her nor not to leave at this time.

    Song Tiedan couldn't help but jumped out, pushed Xiaolan away and held Zhang Yi's hand, shouting unhappily: "What's that about Sister Xiaoman, what are you talking about? Our battalion commander is here to see Sister Chunni."  Yes, she was seriously injured while saving our battalion commander, and she is being treated here!"

    " Xiaolan was stunned. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Only then did she realize her recklessness.

    However, not far from them, Xu Xiaoman also came out of another person's house carrying a medicine box. Before he stepped out of the courtyard gate of this house, he heard Xiaolan's words next to him. At first, her  His face was still as red as a cloud, but after hearing Song Tiedan's words, he became as pale as a sheet of paper.

    The landlady came over and was at her side when she was unaware. She couldn't help but asked: "My daughter, are you not sick?"

    Only then did Xu Xiaoman wake up from a dream. He quickly shook his head, then turned around and walked towards the house. At the same time, he told the landlord: "By the way, aunt, I still have medicine to feed this wounded man!" (  Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
