    Commander Yang Tao faced the two division commanders under him at this time, but he had an indescribable pride. After conveying the order from the corps headquarters, he said to Zhang Xian and Wang Yuanling: "You two, you two  He is also an old confidant who has been with me for many years. There is nothing else to say. It¡¯s just that this battle is related to the honor of our 18th Army. I hope that we can break through the Guohe River in one fell swoop and let other troops in the Corps know what is true.  Main force!"

    Zhang Xian and Wang Yuanling nodded at the same time. Although Yang Tao was only a military commander in the Twelve Corps and his status was not as good as that of Wu Zhougao, who was the deputy commander and commander of the Eighty-fifth Army, he was the undisputed leader in the Twelve Corps.  Even Commander Huang Weizhu wanted to see his face. He relied on the trump card of the 18th Army.

    "How are the soldiers preparing to fight?" Zhang Xian asked first.

    Yang Tao said: "This battle is related to whether we can pass through the Guohe River smoothly. I have sent a plainclothes search team to conduct a thorough investigation of the nearby villages. Basically, there is no trace of the communist army on the south bank of the Guohe River. I have also asked the local people about it.  The water in the Guohe River between the front of Mengcheng and Qiyuan is relatively deep and cannot be forded on foot; however, the water near Wucun, ten miles to the east, and near Langzhuang, ten miles to the west, is not very deep, so we can both wade on foot.  Prepare to make a sudden and forced crossing in these two directions!"

    Zhang Xian nodded, thought for a moment, and suggested: "I think we might as well use a regiment to feign attack in front of Mengcheng, so that the Communist army thinks we will break through from here, so that it can reduce the difficulty of crossing the river on both sides!  "

    "Yes!" Yang Tao nodded and said: "Zhang Xian, your suggestion is good. Commander Wang, your 118th Division will detach a regiment to feign attack in front of Mengcheng, and the main force of the 118th Division will come from Langzhuang in the west.  Cross the river; Zhang Xian, your 11th Division will cross the river near Wu Village in the east!"

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian and Wang Yuanling agreed at the same time.

    Yang Tao thought again and said: "During the day, Zhang Xian and I took a look at the terrain on both sides. The terrain on the east side is better. The terrain on the south bank is higher than that on the north bank. It can be condescending and is very convenient for cover. The terrain on the west side is better.  It is flat, and the north and south banks are fairly equal, so it will be more difficult. My idea is that no matter which of your two divisions crosses the river first, they must attack along the Guohe River to clear out the enemies on the front of Mengcheng. At the same time, you can  Assist another division in its mission to cross the river.¡±

    "Understood!" Zhang Xian and Wang Yuanling agreed again in unison.

    After the river crossing plan was arranged and the specific time for crossing the river was discussed, Yang Tao said: "It's too late. Suxian is under siege and may fall soon, so the Corps requires us to rush across the river overnight, so I hope that by tomorrow  By that time, we had already eliminated the enemies on the north bank of the Guohe River and built a bridge!"

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian answered.

    Wang Yuanling was a little hesitant, thought for a moment, and then said: "Military seat, we have no advantage in fighting the Communist army at night!"

    "Haha, the Communist Army would think so too!" Yang Tao said with a smile: "So they may not have thought that we could cross the river at night. This is just an opportunity for us!"

    Wang Yuanling thought about it carefully and felt that Yang Tao's words were reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.

    The Eighteenth Army moved very quickly. As soon as it got dark, the 11th Division and the 118th Division were already in their positions. They quickly took up their positions according to Yang Tao's deployment. The artillery also advanced to the designated position on the south bank of the Guohe River and prepared  Be prepared to provide support at any time to overwhelm the firepower of the Communist forces on the other side.

    Zhang Xian and the 11th Division had already taken advantage of the night to arrive near Wu Village, ten miles east of Mengcheng. Tens of thousands of people marched ten miles in the dark and strictly followed Zhang Xian's orders. No one made any noise, and they arrived silently.  specified location.  As Yang Tao said, the terrain here is very favorable for crossing the river. The terrain on the south bank is steep, overlooking the north bank. During the day, Zhang Xian had already accompanied Yang Tao to inspect the terrain here, but he was quite familiar with the terrain here.  Knowing very well, he quickly found several key points on the south bank and set up his own fire cover points. However, he asked everyone to wait quietly in the north wind and did not issue an order to cross the river immediately.

    The three commanders of the 11th Division gathered around and asked Zhang Xian about his decision.

    "I, the division commander, am not in a hurry. Why are you three captains in a hurry?" Zhang Xian said calmly, as if he was confident.

    Seeing that their division commander was so calm, the three regiment leaders calmed down. Bai Jingsheng immediately asked: "Has the division commander sent someone to the other side of the river?"

    The two group leaders were stunned, but Zhang Xian smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but praise: "Old Bai, you are getting better and better now, you can guess my thoughts at a glance,  Fortunately you are not mineThe 11th Division he led in 2008 was so powerful that it easily broke through the defense line he had worked so hard to build. Because the terrain there was not advantageous, he dug ten bunkers and was unable to stop the 11th Division.  division's breakthrough.  If the 11th Division really had to attack along the Guohe River, then his defense line on the Guohe River opposite Mengcheng would completely collapse, and he would not be able to explain to Commander-in-Chief Liu at that time, but he had nothing on hand at this time.  The troops could be mobilized. In desperation, he thought of Liu Xinghua, the commander of the Xianghe Column who was staying overnight in his first column in the middle field.

    After the meeting, Liu Xinghua left Linhuan Town with Wang Yong and rushed to his headquarters. However, because the meeting was held a bit late, it was already late at night when he arrived at Wang Yong's place, and he could not withstand his repeated remarks.  To persuade him to stay, he decided to stay here for the night. Who knew that the enemy's 18th Army would launch an attack that night.

    When Wang Yong was in a dilemma, Liu Xinghua walked into his war room while buttoning his clothes.

    "Old Wang, how is the situation?" Liu Xinghua asked him as soon as he came in.

    Wang Yong stood in front of the map, discussing something with the commanders around him. He turned around when he heard his inquiry, but felt as if he had seen a savior.  I still told him truthfully: "Damn it, this Zhang Xian is too powerful. He has led the 11th Division to break through our river defense east of Mengcheng and is attacking northwest along the river."

    As soon as he heard Wang Yong say this, Liu Xinghua hurriedly walked to the map. While looking at it, he asked him: "How many troops do you still have that can be mobilized?"

    "No more!" Wang Yong said honestly: "I transferred the last mobile group to Huangzhuang, and there are enemies there who are forcing the crossing!"

    "Which army is opposite Mengcheng?" Liu Xinghua asked again.

    "Twentieth Brigade!"

    "Then transfer the 20th Brigade to block the enemy's 11th Division!" Liu Xinghua said decisively.

    Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "In this case, what if the enemy in front of Mengcheng forces us to cross?"

    Liu Xinghua shook his head and said with certainty: "The enemy cannot have so many strong crossing points. Our only enemy is the 18th Army opposite Mengcheng. This army only has two divisions at this time, and there is another division following the Eighteenth Army.  The 15th Army has not come over. Since the 11th Division is crossing from the east and the 118th Division is crossing from the west, it is impossible for the enemy to have troops to cross in front of Mengcheng. It is at best a feint attack to attract our attention!  "

    These words immediately woke up the dreamer. Wang Yong nodded and immediately issued an order, ordering the 20th Brigade to leave a small number of regiments to defend the river, and the main force to move eastward to block the enemy's 11th Division's attack.  After arranging these, he said to Liu Xinghua: "Old Liu, now our main force has captured Suxian. Without orders from above, we still cannot retreat, but now our column is really tight.  And the Sixth Column to the west is also in a strong confrontation with the enemy's Tenth Army and Fourteenth Army, and can't spare any troops. Haha, now your Xianghe Column is our mobile force in the middle field!"

    Liu Xinghua nodded, immediately understood what he meant, smiled and said: "Lao Wang, don't worry, I will turn back to the Xianghe column, no matter what, I will help you guard this vortex river!"

    Wang Yong nodded, but said a little guiltily: "Your Xianghe Column blocked the enemy all the way and suffered a lot of damage. It was originally resting, but now it is a little difficult for you!"

    Liu Xinghua, however, looked serious and said unhappily: "Old Wang, what are you talking about? What is difficult and not difficult? At this time, we must work together and cooperate with each other. Otherwise, if you want to eliminate Huang Wei, what will happen?  Possibly?"

    When Liu Xinghua said this, Wang Yong blushed a little, but just smiled and nodded to hide his embarrassment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
