    At dawn, Zhang Xian and his party finally arrived at the Beifei River. At this moment, the heavy snow had stopped, the sky and the earth were vast, and the sparkling Beifei River had become an insurmountable barrier, completely in the wind.  The ground blocked the road ahead.

    When mentioning the Fei River, one cannot help but think of the Battle of Feishui in the Central Plains Period of the Five Husbands. In that battle, the Eastern Jin Dynasty used 80,000 troops to defeat the 800,000 troops of the former Qin Dynasty led by Fu Jian, thereby establishing a historical milestone in Chinese history.  The pattern of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but its real significance is to enable the smooth continuation of China's long-standing mainstream Han culture.  There are four Fei Rivers in Anhui. The real ancient Fei River is the Dong Fei River, a tributary on the south bank of the Huai River, which merges into the Dong Fei River near Shouxian County. At this time, the Dong Fei River burst its banks at Huayuankou and the Yellow River overflowed, taking the Huai River and flowing into the sea.  The lower reaches have silted up into a swamp, forming a long lake called Wabu Lake.  Located south of the Dong Fei River, there is a river that flows through Hefei City and finally flows into Chao Lake. This river and the Dong Fei River come from the Jianghuai watershed. Because it is located to the south, it is called the Nan Fei River.  The river actually belongs to the Yangtze River water system.  Among the tributaries on the north bank of the Huaihe River, there is also a relatively large river between the Yinghe River and the Wohe River. It originates from Taikang, Henan, and merges into the Huaihe River in Fengtai County. Its downstream also forms a lake because the Yellow River takes over the Huaihe River.  It is very close to the entrance of Huaihe River from Dongfei River. Because it is located to the west, it is called Xifei River.  The Beifei River is located between the Guohe River and the Tuohe River, which are tributaries on the north bank of the Huaihe River. It is also the river that flows through Banqiaoji. It flows from northwest to southeast and finally merges into the Huaihe River near Huaiyuan County.  Among the rivers, this river is located in the northernmost part, so it has this name.

    Like many tributaries of the Huaihe River, the Beifei River has accumulated silt downstream due to the invasion of the Yellow River, forming a wide and large water surface. It is actually a long lake, called Sifang Lake.  The top point of this long lake is at Chenji. After passing Chenji, the river below becomes very wide. The narrowest point is more than 150 meters, making it difficult to wade on foot.  In fact, Chenji is a narrow ferry at the bottom of the Bei Fei River at this time. The river here is only a few dozen meters wide. During the dry season, the actual river width is only 20 meters.  Because of this, a stone bridge was built here connecting the north and south. It is also because of the existence of this bridge that Chenchi became the only way from Shuangduiji area to Huaiyuan County.

    "We still have to go to Chenji to cross the river!" Zhang Xian looked at the misty waves and made a decision helplessly. There was not even a boat on the river.

    That night, after a few of them came out of the Jade Emperor Temple, they did not dare to take the main road again. Instead, they walked through the fields and took a shortcut to the lower reaches of the Beifei River, five miles below Chenji.

    At the moment, the group had no choice but to walk northwest along the river bank. As they walked, Xiong Sanwa worriedly said: "I'm afraid that by this time, Deputy Commander Wu and the others have already crossed the river, and they might be captured by the Communist army again.  occupied!"

    "The Communist army is not that fast!" Zhang Xian affirmed. With their speed, even though they were carrying a wounded person on their backs, everyone was still struggling to escape.  Come to think of it, no matter how fast the People's Liberation Army marches, they will arrive at Chenji after dawn.

    However, Zhang Xian is worried about another situation.  He originally agreed with Wu Hua that if he didn't come back in two hours, he would let Wu Hua lead people across the river quickly. At this time, let alone two hours, three hours had passed. Wu Hua should have led the 11th Division long ago.  The leading troops left.  At this time in Chenji, the bridge must be congested by countless defeated troops, but I don't know if the river section there can be forded on foot. Otherwise, it will not be easy to cross the river smoothly.

    Sure enough, just as Zhang Xian had thought, when they came to Chenji, groups of defeated national troops crowded the stone bridge tightly. Everyone wanted to cross quickly, like a headless crowd.  Flies have no rules at all, so in the end no one can squeeze through. Not many people can actually cross the bridge. Most of them are blocked in the small village called Chenji in the north of Qiao. It¡¯s just that this village is  Shi Ye had become an empty village, and the common people had fled long ago before the national soldiers arrived.

    Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa were carrying Hu Congjun on their backs on a high river embankment. They looked at a long queue of military officers and soldiers waiting to cross the bridge on the north side of the stone bridge.  move.  Looking towards the bridge again, there are countless heads on the bridge. From time to time, people are squeezed from the bridge and fall into the river. The screams can be heard endlessly, and there are many people who fell into the river.  Struggling in the river, some were able to swim to the shore, while others sank without even showing their heads.  There is a thin layer of ice on the surface of the Beifei River, and from time to time there is a touch of red and a smell of blood.

    Suddenly, shouts and curses turned the whole Chenji into darkness.  Some people got impatient, took off their clothes and jumped into the river, wanting to swim across the river, but more people couldn't stand it after stepping into the water.??Commander Wang Yuanling heard the news of the 11th Division's early breakthrough and quickly broke out to the northwest in the original direction. However, the People's Liberation Army was already prepared at this time. The 118th Division's breakthrough was not successful, so Commander Yang Tao immediately  The decision was made to follow the gap to the west opened by the 11th Division and rush out after the 11th Division.  Although Yang Tao's conversion was quick, the People's Liberation Army's reaction was faster. When Long Tianya and Li Xian's group just rushed out, the gap was blocked by the People's Liberation Army again, still killing Commander Yang Tao, Commander Wang Yuanling, and 118  Most of the officers and soldiers of the division were locked up in Shuangduiji.

    Long Tianya and Commander Li took advantage of Sha Changhai and the 32nd Regiment to fight hard and passed them quickly. They did not dare to go back to rescue Commander Yang and Commander Wang, so they followed the 11th Division's breakout plan.  The route took a sharp turn south, and then there was the plot of meeting Zhang Xian.

    Having no time to say anything, Zhang Xian immediately organized troops to cross the bridge. At this time, the bridge, which was related to the fate of everyone, had been sent by Bai Jingsheng to form two machine gun fire positions on both sides of the bridge. Anyone who wanted to create chaos would  He will definitely be shot dead on the spot.

    Hu Congjun was arranged by Zhang Xian to be the first group to cross the bridge. Wu Hua led a battalion to guard, plus a group of sick and wounded, a total of about 500 people.  At the same time, Zhang Xian arranged for people to load explosives under the bridge. Once all the Nationalist officers and soldiers passed, it would be blown up to hinder the pursuit of the People's Liberation Army behind it.

    However, after all, this first group of people were sick and wounded people with limited mobility, and they were crossing the bridge very slowly. Before they were halfway through, three red signal flares were raised to the north of Chenji, and the guns on that side  The sound was still fierce, and Zhang Xian knew that this was a signal from Chen Daxing, which meant that he could no longer withstand it and was about to withdraw.

    "I'll bring people to reinforce him!" Bai Jingsheng suggested to Zhang Xian hastily.

    Looking at the officers and soldiers who were already in embarrassment and exhaustion at this time, everyone was looking at him with frightened and expectant eyes. Zhang Xian had no choice but to nod. The only thing he wanted to do at this time was to delay time so that most of the people could  People can cross the river calmly!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
