    In the early morning, the 645th Regiment took the lead according to the original plan. Commander Bao Cheng personally led more than 30 warriors to secretly swim across the Beihan River under the cover of night.  This crossing point was also personally explored by Captain Bao. When the night had just fallen and there was still some light, he led people to quietly search downstream from the Longwang Temple Ferry. As Bao Cheng, who grew up on the Yangtze River,  Generally speaking, I still have some understanding of hydrology. By looking at the flow rate of the water surface and the number of spiral nests, I can almost know the water depth and conditions in the area.  After exploring a section of the river where the water flow was relatively gentle, you could see the dark mountain shadows on the opposite side without any light. Based on experience, Bao Cheng determined that this should be the best crossing point.  In order for the whole regiment to cross the river smoothly and quickly, the 645th Regiment made full preparations from top to bottom, so when the scheduled time came, the frontline commandos crossed very quickly and smoothly and established a line on the other side.  It is a temporary beach position to prevent the enemy from blocking the river after discovering the target.

    When Bao Cheng led people across the river, he pulled three wires. These were the toughest, longest and most convenient life-saving ropes they could find at this time. They drove piles on both sides of the river and tied them up to allow people to cross the river.  The staff led the three wires over.

    More than 2,000 people from the 645th Regiment have gathered on the south bank of the Bukhan River. Everyone knows that danger will come at any time, so they all try not to make loud noises. Of course, they don't dare to use flashlights. They just go down the river silently and carefully.  They entered the river channel for fear of alarming the enemies at the Longwang Temple Ferry three miles away.

    Zhang Xian followed Wang Dahu and reached this transition point. Behind them, there were a group of non-combatants protected by the guard battalion, including communications troops, logistics departments, intelligence personnel, artillery troops, and division staff.  The total number of personnel was more than a thousand; and as a new batch of wounded soldiers who were still somewhat burdensome to the 215th Division, they were assigned to cross the river later upstream with the 644th Regiment.  In fact, for the 215th Division, this steep transition had to give up many valuable things, such as cannons. Since the beginning of this battle, the 215th Division originally carried more than a dozen cannons.  Coming south, although the artillery shells were used more sparingly, they still exerted a certain power; and when they captured Hwacheon and Chuncheon, the 215th Division also captured more than a dozen cannons and obtained a batch of artillery shells, but  At this time, none of them could be brought back. This made everyone in the 215th Division extremely regretful, but they had no choice but to load all the artillery shells into the breech and fire them at the enemy positions to the south, leaving the last remaining  Even if a bomb explodes in the barrel, it cannot be taken away and left with the enemy.  For Zhang Xian, the most regrettable thing is not the cannons, but the cars. Several military trucks of the 215th Division can be said to have made great contributions to the entire division. It is precisely because they can have car transportation that they are better than others.  For the troops, the supply of materials is not guaranteed at all. At most, each person can still have two to three days of food supply; and these vehicles had to be blown up because they could not cross the river. Zhang Xian watched  The raging fire caused when the car exploded was as heartbreaking as watching one's companions die.

    "Commander, please cross the river first!" Ma Lihua, the political commissar of the 645th Regiment, quickly came to Wang Dahu and gave him suggestions.

    Wang Dahu looked at the dark crowd on the river bank, then looked back at the soldiers behind him, but shook his head and said: "It's better for your group to go first!"

    Political Commissar Ma shook his head and said in persuasion: "Division Commander, the troops have just begun to cross the river, and the enemy has not discovered it yet. After a while, the enemy may discover it and take action, so it should be relatively safe to cross the river at this time!"  "

    "I know!" Wang Dahu nodded and said at the same time: "I am the division commander. In our Communist Party's ranks, is there any reason why the division commander should retreat first when the soldiers have not retreated?"

    Political Commissar Ma was stunned, and for a moment he didn¡¯t know what to say.

    Zhang Xian couldn't help but said from the side: "Commander, I think we can let Staff Officer Lu take the radio and communication troops to cross the river first. This can ensure the safety of our radio and walkie-talkie!"

    Wang Dahu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yeah! Okay, let Lu Fan and the others pass first!"

    Lu Fan, who was following Wang Dahu, heard Zhang Xian's words and was stunned for a moment. Of course, he understood very well and obeyed the teacher's order. However, when he walked past Zhang Xian, Lu Fan still couldn't help but patted Zhang Xian's shoulder.  This silent and intimate gesture may only be experienced by the two of them. It is actually a confession of mutual respect.

    Thousands of people began their difficult smuggling journey under organized arrangements. At this time, the wave of immigration was no longer visible in the sky.??¡­¡±

    In fact, for many people, they couldn¡¯t hear what Wang Dahu was shouting at all, but everyone saw him and recognized him quickly.  Perhaps seeing that the teacher was still there, the panic in his heart gradually subsided.  For most people, they may think this way: no matter what, the teacher is still in the south of the Yangtze River and is still behind him, so he can definitely cross the river!

    Finally, the chaotic scene was under control, and people once again crossed the river in batches according to the organization of the cadres. However, the enemy's artillery fire also began to correct and hit this side more and more fiercely.

    Wang Dahu was still shouting to everyone on the boulder regardless of the danger. At this time, Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa jumped down. They could not seize the glory of the teacher at such a critical time.  However, he heard a cannonball roaring towards him, and Zhang Xian knew where it would land based on experience. He couldn't help shouting: "Commander, be careful!" He ran forward, and at this time the cannonball  It also landed nearby, and the explosion was deafening.  Just when the explosion occurred, out of human instinct, Zhang Xian fell to the ground and hid next to the huge rock.  In the smoke and dust, I saw Wang Dahu's tall body falling from the stone and falling into the mud of the river beach!  Zhang Xian couldn't help but shout loudly, but his ears temporarily lost hearing due to the explosion just now. Even he couldn't hear this kind of shouting. He could only see the blood mist in the smoke gradually dispersing  ¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
