    The train is like an iron horse, galloping across the vast wilderness; it is also like a black dragon, roaring towards the north.

    At this time, the land of China has once again been shrouded in the flames of war and gunpowder smoke. Even a five-thousand-year-old civilization has become powerless at this moment.  Once the war machine is turned on again, what follows behind it will be tens of thousands of bodies coming and falling like a sea wave. Millions, tens of millions, tens of millions of people will be displaced, and endless suffering will seem to  The end of the world has come.  But this time, there is no right or wrong in the war. Although the Chinese people have experienced too much pain and disaster, the victory of the Anti-Japanese War has just made 40 million compatriots overjoyed. They thought that from now on, they would be a bloody national humiliation.  Unexpectedly, the outbreak of the civil war was so violent that all this had already happened before people could wake up from the confusion.  For many people in the world, in the past hundred years, from the Opium War to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from the Eight-Power Allied Forces to the Boxer Rebellion, from the Reform Movement of 1898 to the Revolution of 1911, from the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the protection of the country, from the warlords' melee to the Northern Expedition  Success. From the ten years of chaos to the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese people have experienced too many wars and artillery fire. They have long been accustomed to it and have begun to become numb.  No one can know how long this civil war will last, and no one can predict it, but everyone knows that no matter who wins or loses, it is the common people who will suffer.

    Someone in the Ministry of National Defense is clamoring that the Communist army can be wiped out in three months. For the Nationalist Government, this is also a battle with almost no suspense.  At this time, the national army is no longer comparable to that of the past. No matter in terms of weapons and equipment, material supplies, or overall military strength, it has a huge advantage. Non-communist troops can compare.  Because of this, the idea of ??using force to resolve national unification was born within the Kuomintang. The war faction overwhelmingly overwhelmed the peace faction, and the Communist Party had a tough attitude because of the support of the Soviet Union, so the civil war naturally ended.  Erupted.

    Zhang Xian also knows that after this war, China's party struggle and power distribution problems will eventually be solved, but this process will definitely be painful and tragic. As a soldier, no matter which side the final victory belongs to, it can only be  The bottom cannon fodder in this ruthless war!

    Sitting on the speeding train, Zhang Xian's heart was surging. He still recalled the moment when he left Wang Jinna. Wang Jinna suddenly shouted to him: "Axian, you must come back well!" At that moment  , he saw Nana¡¯s tears streaming down her face.  And it was also early that morning when Xiu Xiu and Xiao Hu took him to the train. Xiu Xiu couldn't stop crying, but Xiao Hu asked him: "Dad, where are you going?"

    "Dad is going to fight!"

    "I want to go with dad too!"

    "Good son, please stay at home obediently. When dad comes back, I will bring you delicious food!" Zhang Xian made a wish for his son like this.

    Xiaohu thought for a while, and finally nodded, while not forgetting to tell him: "Okay, then you must come back well and bring me a lot of delicious food!"

    "Well! Dad will definitely do it!"

    Thinking of his son Xiaohu¡¯s innocent and cute smile, Zhang Xian felt happy, and the same beautiful smile appeared on his face.

    "Brother, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Zhang Xian secretly smiling, Xiong Sanwa sitting next to him couldn't help but ask him.

    Only then did Zhang Xian realize his gaffe. He immediately put away his smile, turned around and told him: "I thought of my son!"

    "That's right!" Xiong Sanwa also laughed and said with great envy: "Little Tiger is so cute. If I have such a son sometime, I would be satisfied even if I die."

    "You crow's mouth, don't talk about death at all times. You don't have a wife yet, how can you get a son?" Zhang Xian scolded him with a smile.

    Xiong Sanwa scratched his head and made a face, but turned around and asked Chen Daxing behind him: "Brother Daxing, how about you give me another son to adopt later?"

    Chen Daxing was stunned for a moment, but he said angrily: "You want a son? You can have a son by yourself, I don't have a son yet!"

    Xiong Sanwa laughed loudly, but said: "If I get married, the first child I give birth to will definitely be a son. Do you believe it?"

    Chen Daxing rolled his eyes at him and teased him: "Your wife hasn't even changed her horoscope yet, and she still wants to hold her son in her arms. Just dream!"

    Xiong Sanwa sighed and suddenly said: "It would be great if Chang Liqiang was still here. If I ask him to help me find a wife, he will definitely be able to find one for me."

    Zhang Xian was startled and suddenly realized that Xiong Sanwa had grown up and it was time to talk about marriage.At this age, I am always busy with my own trivial matters and have forgotten this.  If he can come back from this battle, he must let Xiuxiu and Nana help Xiong Sanwa find a wife.  But Xiong Sanwa mentioned Chang Liqiang again, which made him a little sentimental.

    "Captain, I really don't understand why you didn't go to the carriage with the division commander, but came with us big soldiers to squeeze into this black carriage and suffer this punishment!" Someone beside Chen Daxing was named Kang Le.  The messenger asked Zhang Xian, who was 18 or 19 years old.

    Zhang Xian smiled and told him: "Although I am the regiment leader, I am also a soldier like you, but with different responsibilities. Now we are all brothers who share weal and woe. The bullets on the battlefield do not distinguish who is the regiment leader or who is  It¡¯s not the group leader¡¯s. Haha, don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    Everyone laughed.

    ?******************

    The train arrived in Zhengzhou in the evening. Although the 32nd Regiment departed two days late, due to the heavy rain in the Zhengzhou area in the previous two days, a railway bridge heading eastward on the Longhai Line was washed away. The 118th Brigade and the 118th Brigade who arrived earlier  The 18th Brigade stayed here for two days. When they set off again, the division commander Hu Congjun asked the 32nd Regiment to take the lead and advance by train towards Xuzhou.  Other troops of the 11th Brigade have already sailed down the Yangtze River from Wuhan to Pukou. At this time, they have also disembarked from Pukou and boarded the train heading north along the Jinpu Line. If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive at the same time as the 32nd Regiment.  Meet in Xuzhou.

    The 32nd Regiment now became the vanguard of the 11th Division, which shows how much Hu Congjun trusts Zhang Xian.

    This transition to the battlefield was too hasty. After all, Zhang Xian was new to the post. Although he was familiar with the 32nd Regiment, and the two battalion commanders under him were his old friends, they still needed to get used to each other.  So when heading north from Wuhan, Zhang Xian gathered the officers above the company commander in the regiment into a carriage and held a meeting with everyone to get to know each other.  At this time, heading east from Zhengzhou, we were very close to the Communist Party's liberated areas, and the battle could start at any time. Therefore, Zhang Xian once again gathered several battalion commanders and company commanders together to prepare for a pre-war meeting.  Mobilization.

    Among the three battalion commanders of the 32nd Regiment, the first battalion commander Yin Jian and the second battalion commander Bai Jingsheng are Zhang Xian¡¯s old troops and are very familiar with them. However, Zhang Xian does not know the third battalion commander Sha Changhai, and Zhang Xian does not know this person well.  I heard that he was originally transferred in by Huang Xinyuan, so I was a little wary of him, but I still wanted to keep calm in terms of face.  Sha Changhai also seemed to be aware of something. In front of the new regiment leader, he rarely spoke or stepped forward. When Zhang Xian asked him for advice, he always nodded and said in a very submissive tone:  "I listen to the leader!"

    Most of the company commanders of the 32nd Regiment were promoted by squad leaders and platoon leaders from the original independent battalion. One of the company commanders was Li Wenyi, a veteran of the original 32nd Regiment.  When Zhang Xian first joined the 11th Division, Li Wenyi and Zhang Xian served as squad leaders for recruit training. The two fell out because of different opinions.  However, after so many years, Zhang Xian no longer cares about those old things.  When he became Zhang Xian's subordinate again, Captain Li was still so brave. He was not afraid of Zhang Xian because of the original reason. Once he recognized his own ideas, he still liked to stick to them. This is what Zhang Xian admired about him very much.  place.  Xiong Sanwa, who was Zhang Xian's personal security guard at the time of his death, had always been worried about this Li Wenyi. He still remembered that this guy wanted to shoot him.

    The train took more than an hour to drive, and in front of it was Kaifeng, the capital of Henan Province. However, just when it arrived in Kaifeng, there was intensive gunfire. When the train stopped, a representative from the Henan Provincial Government  Officials hurriedly found Zhang Xian with a telegram. It turned out that two troops from the Communist Party, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, were attacking Kaifeng. The Kaifeng defenders had been surrounded by the Communist army, and the ancient city of Kaifeng was also in danger.  This telegram was sent by the division commander Hu Congjun. It was obviously the Henan Provincial Government asking for help from Nanjing. Nanjing ordered Hu Congjun, who drove to Zhengzhou, to quickly break the siege. So Hu Congjun telegraphed the 32nd Regiment, which had arrived in Kaifeng City first, to immediately join the battle.  , and at the same time, the follow-up troops also arrived urgently.

    The telegraph order was the battle order. At that moment, Zhang Xian immediately ordered all the soldiers of the 32nd Regiment to get off the bus and gather at the station. Taking advantage of this time, while sending out scouts, he also got to know the friendly liaison officer who came to contact him.  Knowing the situation in Kaifeng at this time, the Communist Army was tightly surrounding the South City and East City. He took the map and studied it carefully. Based on his experience, he was convinced that the main force of the Communist Army would not be deployed in the south, because  There is still a yellow flood area there, which is not suitable for large-scale troop operations; and the most likely main attack is in the east or southeast direction, and the south should be its flank.

    The 32nd Regiment moved quickly. After all the troops were assembled, the scouts sent by Chen Daxing also returned. As Zhang Xian expected, the Communist army attacked most fiercely from the southeast.  At that moment, Zhang Xian immediately made a decision to attack the side of the Communist army from the south gate of Kaifeng to the pagoda, recapture the south gate with lightning speed, and advance into the enemy's formation, which would definitely cause chaos to the Communist army.  Once the plan was made, action was taken immediately.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)In this way, the Communist army attacked most fiercely from the southeast.  At that moment, Zhang Xian immediately made a decision to attack the side of the Communist army from the south gate of Kaifeng to the pagoda, recapture the south gate with lightning speed, and advance into the enemy's formation, which would definitely cause chaos to the Communist army.  Once the plan was made, action was taken immediately.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
