    In the evening, Zhang Xian took everyone to a mountain covered with pine forests in the north of Hwacheon City. This mountain is called Beiling Mountain by the locals. At the foot of the mountain is the tributary that flows into the North Han River, called Hwacheon River.  This river flows from the northwest, which is a bit unique. When it flows into the Bukhan River, it draws an "S" shape, flowing from the north and east of Hwacheon City, and together with the Bukhan River, it connects the entire Hwacheon River.  The city is surrounded by a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides.

    The Huachuan River is not wide, only about fifty meters, but the river beaches on both sides are more than one hundred meters long.  Standing on the North Ridge and looking down, the river is like a jade belt, floating between the mountains. When it merges into the Bukhan River, the terrain suddenly becomes flat and open.  On the other hand, the Bukhan River in the south of Hwacheon City has formed a strip-shaped lake due to the dam built downstream. The water surface is vast and white when viewed from a distance.  The reservoir formed was naturally named Hwacheon Lake because it was close to Hwacheon City.  A road passes through Chuncheon in the south, along the flat bank of the west bank of Hwacheon Lake to Hwacheon City, and then passes through the middle of the county town. It crosses the Hwacheon River with a stone bridge and ends at the foot of Bukryeong Mountain.  Go around and then go north along the Hwacheon River.

    To enter Hwacheon Castle from the north, you must cross the Hwacheon River, either by crossing the bridge or wading across it.

    It was not too late, so Zhang Xian asked everyone to disperse and rest in the pine forest. He, Wang Peng, An Richang and Park Xishun climbed to the top of the highest mountain and carefully observed the movements of Huachuan City below the mountain with binoculars.

    The first thing that caught Zhang Xian's eyes were the two bridgeheads at the head of the bridge. Obviously, the bridge had become a key point guarded by the enemy. There was a checkpoint at the head of the bridge, and there were three levels of deer villages on the bridge.  There is a barbed wire fence blocking the entire highway. Without a pass, it is impossible to pass the bridge smoothly.  Zhang Xian looked through the telescope to the other side of the river. There were no defensive fortifications on the river beach, but on the embankment on the shore, there were posts arranged at five and ten steps to form a position, with several exposed heavy weapons.  The machine gun was set up on the river embankment, surrounded by sandbags to form a temporary bunker to protect the machine gunner's body.  Across the river bank, and further south is Hwachuan City. Although this county town is equivalent to a county town in China, it is not large in scale. There are not even city walls around it. Only on the edge of the small town, you can still vaguely see it.  From time to time, patrolling South Korean soldiers would come out of the barbed wire fence and then walk in again.  Although Zhang Xian still wanted to see clearly what was going on in Huachuan City, even the highway that passed through the city disappeared from his sight due to the obstruction of the messy buildings.

    "I don't know how many enemies there are in this city?" Wang Peng couldn't stand it. Looking at the terrain of this city, it is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Think about the original Dipingli, compared with this place.  , but much easier to fight.

    Zhang Xian shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that only by going in can we find out how many enemies are inside!"

    Park Xishun also nodded. This was the purpose of their reconnaissance. They wanted to find out the strength of the troops in Huachuan City, how they were deployed, which troops they were, what kind of fortifications they had built, and what their firepower was?  How is the enemy situation around?  What about the terrain?  Does the enemy have a pattern of action?  How are the positions allocated?  How much artillery support is there?  Wait, wait, the last key question is to find out where the enemy's weakest link is?  From where?  How can we win this place in the fastest time and with the least loss?

    "It seems that there are Li puppet troops inside, and there are no Americans!" Pu Xishun also looked at it for a long time and couldn't help blurting out.

    Zhang Xian nodded. He also observed through the telescope for a long time, especially the defenders on the bridge. Although there were many people coming and going, he did not see a single Western face.  If there were really only South Korean troops in Hwacheon City and no Americans, then this battle would be much easier.

    While he was talking, Xiao Anzi suddenly pointed to a section of the river in the distance and shouted: "Batalion Commander, look over there!"

    Zhang Xian raised his telescope and looked to the west in the direction of his finger. Three hundred meters away from the stone bridge, a group of people were wading across the river. There were men, women, old and some in the group.  There are people carrying children on their backs, driving cattle, and carrying burdens!  They came out of a mountain pass over there, and they came in an endless stream.

    "Those are a group of refugees!" Zhang Xian responded casually, but at the same time as he said this, an idea came to his mind.

    The sunset in spring is far less brilliant than the sunset in winter, but the afterglow of the sunset is reflected on the sparkling river and is set against the green mountains and pines and cypresses, which is still as beautiful as a picture scroll.  Just, in this painting"Drink," he didn't know what he was shouting, but he saw those who were warming up the fire running away and putting out the fire.

    "Those soldiers above are not allowed to light fires!" Xiao Anzi came to Zhang Xian and told him in a low voice.

    Zhang Xian nodded and put down his pants. He felt so cold that his whole lower body was about to freeze into a ball.  He raised his head and saw a machine gun set up on the river embankment, its black muzzle pointed at all the refugees climbing ashore on the river beach.  The South Korean soldiers guarding the riverbank did not have any sympathy for their compatriots. They were worried that lighting a fire would cause misunderstandings from the U.S. Air Force and lead to scolding from their superiors.

    "Let's get out of here quickly!" Zhang Xian told Xiao Anzi in a low voice despite the cold spring weather. He always felt that it was too unsafe under the enemy's machine gun.

    "Yes!" Xiao Anzi agreed, helped the old woman who collapsed on the river beach after crossing the river, and walked together to the outside of the river embankment.

    After spending a long time, the slowly moving crowd finally walked out of the river embankment, but at this time, Zhang Xian lost Park Heesun's figure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
