    "Stop!" Just when Sha Changhai was extremely angry and was about to shoot, he suddenly heard a familiar shout. He couldn't help but trembled. When he turned around, he saw the division commander Zhang Xian and Xiong San.  The baby has come behind him.

    "Master!" Sha Changhai suddenly realized his gaffe, and quickly put away his pistol, but still pointed at Battalion Commander Ye bitterly, and reported to him: "Master, what kind of bridge did Ye Siqi build? We are thirty  The soldiers of the second regiment were not killed by the enemy, but they were killed a lot by him!"

    Ye Siqi looked aggrieved. He wanted to argue, but was unable to speak. He just said to Zhang Xian with tears in his eyes: "Master, III was wronged!"

    "What are you wrongfully accusing?" Sha Changhai still looked angry.

    Zhang Xian, on the other hand, had a serious look on his face, and said tepidly to Sha Changhai: "Deputy Commander Sha, it's Battalion Commander Ye who made all kinds of mistakes, and I, the division commander, am here!" He went down.  What he didn't say out loud was that Sha Changhai was just a deputy commander and had no authority to deal with a battalion commander without permission.

    Sha Changhai couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly explained: "Master, I admit my mistake to you! But you see, our battalion is already struggling on the other side of the river, and everyone is pointing to these three bridges to cross the river for rescue.  , I didn¡¯t expect that just as I walked up, two buildings suddenly collapsed, many brothers fell into the water, and so many people drowned, I, the deputy leader, am heartbroken!"

    Zhang Xian nodded, of course he understood Sha Changhai's state of mind at this time. In fact, his state of mind at this time was not the same as Sha Changhai's?  However, some things cannot be corrected. Being able to distinguish right from wrong is a character that he must possess as a division commander. There is indeed something wrong with the bridge that Ye Siqi led the engineering battalion to build, but he cannot be blamed for this.

    "Master, these three pontoon bridges are all made of collected planks and ropes. One of them had its sling broken by the enemy. There were too many people from the 32nd Regiment on the other one, and the bridge couldn't bear it!"  Only then did Ye Siqi react and tell the truth.

    Sha Changhai disagreed and asked loudly: "You can't walk on the bridge, so what's the use?"

    ¡°It¡¯s not that people can¡¯t leave, it¡¯s that everyone needs to cross the bridge separately and in an orderly manner. The bridge cannot bear such a dense crowd!¡± Ye Siqi argued forcefully.

    "So how long will it take to cross the bridge?" Sha Changhai became annoyed again.

    "Deputy Commander Sha!" Zhang Xian couldn't help but said loudly: "Battle Commander Ye is right, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

    Sha Changhai was stunned for a moment, and said with some reluctance: "But"

    "There is nothing to be ashamed of!" Zhang Xian interrupted him and warned him at the same time: "You are all brothers in the 11th Division. When encountering difficulties, you should help each other and think of things as quickly as possible.  The way to solve it is not to quarrel with each other, accuse each other, and not to pull out a gun and point weapons at each other! If I see someone pointing a gun at my brothers in the future, then my Zhang Xian¡¯s gun will be  Be the first to smash his head!" His words were very calm, but loud and majestic.

    "Yes!" Sha Changhai responded repeatedly, already feeling terrified in his heart.

    Hearing that the division commander was defending himself, Ye Siqi felt warm in his heart, and at the same time felt extremely guilty. After all, many brothers were killed and injured because of their engineer battalion.

    "Captain Ye!" Zhang Xian faced the engineer battalion commander directly and ordered: "You must repair the bridge for me in the shortest possible time. You must not delay my business trip again. Otherwise, I will not be severely punished."  loan!"

    "Yes!" Ye Siqi also answered loudly.

    On the north bank of the Beifei River, Battalion Commander Yao Yu led the first battalion of the 32nd Regiment and was still resisting the siege from three sides by more than three times the strength of the Xianghe Column. He knew that as long as his battalion retreated into the river, then  This means that this operation failed, and what is more likely to happen is that the casualties when they cross the river in defeat will be far higher than the casualties if they withstand the enemy's counterattack at this time.

    Xiong Kaiping and Sha Changhai, two regiment commanders who were in perfect harmony, were anxiously watching the battle on the north bank from the south bank. They could only use artillery across the river to bombard the first battalion.

    The power of the artillery did have some effect, causing the offensive of the third brigade of the Xianghe Column to slow down immediately, but it was far from a long-term solution. Zhang Xian also knew that if he wanted to break through the Beifeihe defense line in one fell swoop, he still had to let the troops go.  The troops quickly crossed the Bei Fei River. Only when the military strength reaches an absolute advantage, the breakthrough can be completed.

    Two of the three pontoon bridges erected by the engineering camp have collapsed in the river, and the remaining pontoon bridge was empty for a while.The headquarters agreed to Liu Xinghua's request, and at the same time ordered the Xianghe column to retreat to the north bank of the Huihe River near Nanpingji, and together with the Zhongye Column, they would block the attack again.

    After receiving this order, Liu Xinghua was relieved. That night he ordered the Xianghe column to abandon Beifei River and withdraw to the north.

    Yang Tao came to the 11th Division to commend Zhang Xian for being able to break through the riverside position held by the Xianghe Column in such a short time in one afternoon. The 11th Division really showed his face in front of Huang Wei. The 14th Army is here  After fighting for a whole night and a half, there was no achievement. This also explains why the 18th Army plays an important role in the 12th Army.

    Only then did Zhang Xian remember that the key to winning this battle was the contribution of the engineering battalion, so he immediately ordered Chen Daxing to call the battalion commander of the engineering battalion Ye Siqi, and at the same time explained to Commander Yang Tao how the battle was successful.  , Commander Yang Tao also admired Battalion Commander Ye for being able to use his body as support to build a pontoon bridge. This was the first time in the military history of the 18th Army. This also illustrates the bravery and resourcefulness of Battalion Commander Ye.

    However, when Chen Daxing came back with only two company commanders from the engineering battalion, Zhang Xian and Yang Tao realized that Battalion Commander Ye, whom they considered a hero, had died in this battle.

    "Battle Commander Ye was hit by an enemy bullet, but he still gritted his teeth and carried the bridge plank. Everyone saw it and asked him to take a rest, but he didn't go!" The two company commanders said at this time.  The eyes were red, and one of them said silently: "All of us were encouraged by the battalion commander, so no one was afraid. Until everyone crossed the river, battalion commander Ye fell into the river.  Here, when we picked him up, he was already" At this point, the company commander couldn't talk anymore, and he and the other company commander next to him began to sob.

    Zhang Xian and Yang Tao looked at each other in silence.

    Zhang Xian's heart felt as heavy as a huge stone. He suddenly remembered that this Battalion Commander Ye had only been married for three months!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
