    On the morning of November 21, the 18th Army, the leading force of the 12th Corps, launched an attack on the defense line placed by the People's Liberation Army Headquarters at the Huihe River. This time, Commander Yang Tao ordered the 118th Division to be the main force of the attack, equipped with  The rapid column formation has more than 20 tanks in total, and the military's 105 howitzer battalion and heavy mortar company are also assigned to this division. It focuses on attacking the Nanping Ji stronghold on the south bank of the Hui River. This Nanping Ji is now  There is a strong lock on the Huihe defense line. Only by opening this lock can it be possible to quickly break through the entire Huihe defense line.

    At the same time that the 118th Division was mainly attacking Nanping Ji, Zhang Xian's 11th Division was responsible for assisting the attack, taking charge west of Dongping Ji, forcibly crossing the river, breaking into the People's Liberation Army position on the north bank of the Weihe River, and after succeeding, it headed along the Weihe River.  A roundabout attack north of Nanpingji to assist the 118th Division's frontal attack.

    The battle was extremely fierce from the moment it started. The main attacking force of the 118th Division encountered tenacious resistance from the People's Liberation Army in the direction of Nanpingji. The battle was in a stalemate with numerous casualties on both sides. By noon, the 118th Division  Seeing that his casualties were too high, the division commander Wang Yuanling stopped the attack for a time. This made Commander Yang Tao very angry. He personally went to the front line and commanded more than 20 tanks to rush towards the People's Liberation Army positions in waves. At the same time, he ordered howitzers to launch  , heavy mortars and the mountain artillery battalion of the 118th Division concentrated their firepower and bombarded the position of the People's Liberation Army in Nanpingji. Finally, they made a breakthrough and reached the edge of Nanpingji, forming a  A siege.

    When the 118th Division made a breakthrough on the front of Nanpingji, Zhang Xian and the 11th Division also launched a forced crossing on the south bank of the Hui River east of Nanpingji.  Since the 11th Division entered the Huaibei battlefield, it has already carried out offensive battles across several larger rivers such as the Yinghe River, the Guohe River, and the Beifeihe River; the Yinghe River is the largest, widest and most difficult, and Zhang Xian adopted the  It was a detour to gather, easily avoiding the enemy's blocking position on the other side of Fuyang, and completing the task of overcoming it; the battle of crossing the Guohe River took a longer time, and the eastern front adopted a strong crossing through favorable geographical conditions, while the western  On the Huangjiazhuang side of the line, the plank road was built openly, the Chencang was crossed secretly, and the black tiger took out the heart. The battle at Beifei River was completely a force attack. Relatively speaking, this battle across the Huihe River was not as good for Zhang Xian and his ten soldiers.  For a division, it is already familiar.

    The Hui River is not as wide as the Wuhe River, nor as deep as the Bei Fei River, so relatively speaking, it shouldn't be too difficult to cross the river by force.  However, when the battle started, the situation was far from being as simple as the people of the 11th Division had optimistically imagined. The People's Liberation Army across the river was already far larger than Bei Feihe in terms of numbers and firepower.  It took a lot of time. When the first battalion of Bai Jingsheng's 31st Regiment was beaten back from the opposite bank and looked at the artillery fire and machine gun fire rising from the sky on the north bank, everyone felt the difficulty of this mission.

    Afterwards, Zhang Xian organized two waves of commandos, divided into four river crossing points. He wanted to open a gap from one of them, even to occupy a position on the river beach, but he was never able to do so.  The Huihe River at this time was in the dry season, and most of the water in the river was no more than the calf, and the deepest part was no more than the waist. The river water actually had a limited effect on blocking the troops from crossing the river. What prevented the 11th Division from breaking through was actually the enemy.  The battle for the beach position on the north bank.

    Zhang Xian was also very surprised. This time, the People's Liberation Army made the defensive positions on the north bank of the Huihe River much more detailed than before. The soft mud area of ??the river beach that was not valued before was also valued by them this time, and many defenses were built nearby.  The bunkers are connected by communication trenches at the same time, forming a network system that can support each other and form a fire blockade. The purpose is to prevent the opponent from even entering the river beach, so as to achieve a real blocking effect.

    Faced with such a sudden situation, Zhang Xian was at a loss for a while. He could only confront the enemy across the river and bombard each other.  If you want to break through the river bank, you must pay a heavy price.

    In the afternoon, Zhang Xian organized two more strong attacks. The first time failed. In the second time, the 32nd Battalion of the 32nd Regiment, under the personal leadership of deputy commander Sha Changhai, finally seized a river beach fortress and captured  They captured two enemy bunkers and opened a gap, giving the 11th Division a foothold.

    It seems to be a coincidence that we were able to capture this position only because of the help of the 18th Army search team.  Before the 18th Army set off from Mengcheng, it sent out all the general search teams. At most, these plainclothes scouts numbered in the thousands, and could form a regiment. This was also the reason why the 11th Division was originally reorganized to fight in Shandong.  At that time, the reconnaissance agency organized and established by Hu Congjun was actually a scout in plainclothes.  If these people are added to the cavalry, plainclothes, and political teams attached to the regular combat forces, they are all second-line personnel without regular numbers. The number is also considerable, but they form a powerful reserve echelon of the 18th Army.

    This time the Eighteenth Army was sent to Suxian, I was worried that it was a scam, so I didn¡¯t pursue it!  "

    "This is also the case here!" Yang Tao told Zhang Xian: "A regiment of the 118th Division attacked Nanping Ji and was beaten out by them. But then we temporarily stopped the attack and waited for Commander Wang to reorganize the troops.  , when we were preparing to launch an assault under the cover of darkness, we discovered that all the enemies on Nanpingji had withdrawn, and now the 118th Division is occupying Nanpingji!"

    "Commander, what do you think is going on?" Zhang Xian asked.

    Yang Tao pondered for a moment and said: "Maybe your 11th Division successfully broke through the Huihe defense line, which frightened them. They were afraid that Nanpingji would be attacked from both sides, so they took the initiative to retreat to keep their troops intact!"

    Zhang Xian nodded and said with some worry: "Commander, I always feel that things are not that simple. Could this be the enemy's plan to lure them deeper?"

    Yang Tao thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Maybe, but Zhang Xian, now that we have occupied Nanpingji, Commander Huang Wei and the headquarters of the 12th Corps will come here soon. Your 11th Division is currently  Our task is to clear out the enemies on the north bank of the Huihe River first. As for the next battle plan, let¡¯s wait until Chief Huang comes over!¡±

    Zhang Xian nodded, and now he can only follow Yang Tao's order.

    At the moment, Zhang Xian ordered the 11th Division to stop reinforcing the existing positions and quickly advance to the north bank of the Hui River in the direction of Nanpingji.  The march along this road was very fast. Many villages were already deserted. Although it was in the dark, it was much faster than during the day. Without the obstruction of the Communist army, the 11th Division seemed to have rushed through the weir.  The river in Saiti is running wildly all the way and has occupied the north bank of the Hui River opposite Nanpingji.  At the same time, Zhang Xian also learned that the Tenth Army, as the left column, was also blocked by the Xianghe Column across the Huihe River in Sunzhuang Town. The battle was fierce, but like the Eighteenth Army, in  After a division of the Tenth Army broke through the Huihe River, the Xianghe column in front of them also retreated quickly like the Zhongye column here.

    Why did the Xianghe Column and the Zhongye Column undergo such big changes in just one day?  Back when they were on the defensive lines of Guohe and Beifeihe, these two old team leaders were determined to fight to the death. Especially in the battle at Huangjiazhuang, the Zhongye Yizong would rather be knocked out of a regiment than give up the position along the river easily.  Zhang Xian's decision still scares Zhang Xian, but what is going on today?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
