    The battle came quickly, but Zhang Xian already knew the outcome from the moment he got on the train. There may be battles anytime and anywhere during the march.

    The sudden appearance of the 32nd Regiment surprised the two columns of the Communist Army that were besieging Kaifeng City. The violent attack and powerful artillery fire of the 32nd Regiment were unmatched by the local armed forces. After all, they belonged to the national army.  The main force, this also heralds the arrival of the entire 11th Division.  The battle lasted until the evening, and the 32nd Regiment successfully recaptured the south gate of Kaifeng. The Communist troops only made two tentative attacks. Seeing that they could not repel their opponents, they withdrew. This is how the siege of Kaifeng ended.  it's over.

    When Hu Congjun brought most of the 11th Division to Kaifeng, there were only dissipating gunpowder smoke on the battlefield and national soldiers cleaning the battlefield.

    The government officials of Henan Province accompanied Mr. Hu to inspect the battlefield. They all praised him for the bravery of the 32nd Regiment and also praised the regiment leader Zhang Xian. This made Mr. Hu very happy.  But it made the friendly troops defending the city very shameless, as if they were incompetent.  Although Zhang Xian felt comfortable after hearing this, he also knew that it was not how powerful the 32nd Regiment was. The fundamental reason why the Communist army withdrew was that the follow-up reinforcements from the National Army had arrived. If most of the 11th Division were completely  If the generals come over, then by that time, the communist army will not be able to withdraw even if they want to.

    This is just a small episode on the march, and the Battle of Kaifeng is just the beginning of a long journey.

    The 11th Division continued on the road, and then headed eastward along the Longhai Line. Their target had been set in the Dangshan and Huangkou areas. According to the arrangement of the Xuzhou Jingsui Office, after the 11th Division assembled there, it would head towards  Attack and advance from the north to suppress the Communist Party's Western Shandong Liberated Area.

    Hu Congjun was very satisfied with Zhang Xian's performance. In private, he said to Zhang Xian: "Zhang Xian, I have reported your success in breaking the siege to the superiors. I hope the superiors can consider it as appropriate so that it can be done quickly in the future."  Reinstate your position as brigade commander!"

    Zhang Xian was a little moved and said to Mr. Hu: "Sir, thank you for your cultivation and love for me. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

    Hu Congjun nodded, and then asked him: "Zhang Xian, after the Anti-Japanese War, among our entire 11th Division, now you are the only one who has fought twice with the Communist troops. The first encirclement and suppression of Ma Wenlong, if not for Huang Xinyuan's  In the first quarter, you should have achieved a complete victory; but this time, with the strength of your regiment, you fought with them all afternoon and were able to make them retreat. Although it was a bit of a fluke, you still won with less. Follow.  Let me share your experience so that we can all be prepared."

    Zhang Xian couldn't help but become serious and said seriously: "Commander, do you also think that the Communist Army is so easy to fight?"

    Hu Congjun waved his hand and said: "No, I never thought so. I also participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Jiangxi Red Army, and the 11th Division suffered a big loss."

    Zhang Xian felt relieved and told him honestly: "Although I was the only one in the 11th Division who fought two battles against the Communist army after the Anti-Japanese War, neither of these battles can be considered a victory."

    "Oh?" Hu Congjun looked at him puzzled.

    Zhang Xiandao: "The first time, the reason why I was able to capture Ma Wenlong was just because he took risks. Strategically speaking, Ma Wenlong restrained me with very few troops, but allowed most of his troops to be surrounded from all sides.  It is he who escapes and wins, not me.¡±

    Hu Congjun nodded. Indeed, as Zhang Xian said, those government officials were still bragging about how they had wiped out the Communist bandits in the Central Plains. In fact, it was so ridiculous. The main force of the Communist army had been successfully transferred to another place and was not injured at all.  As for their muscles and bones, I don¡¯t know when they can fight back.

    Zhang Xian continued: "We didn't fight this battle for long at all. The reason why the Communist army withdrew was because reinforcements from our national army had arrived at this time. Anyone else would do this. How can you say it was me?"  Where¡¯s the credit?¡±

    "Yeah!" Hu Congjun smiled. He had known about this for a long time, but he never revealed it. He also wanted to take the opportunity to gain some credit for Zhang Xian.  He was very grateful to Zhang Xian for taking all the blame for his life, and of course he would find an opportunity to repay him.

    "However, after these two battles with the Communist Army, I have a few suggestions for the division commander's reference!" Zhang Xian added.

    "Okay, tell me!"

    Zhang Xian thought for a while and said: "First, we must not underestimate the Communist army. We would rather overestimate them than underestimate them. We must be very cautious before fighting and must not take risks, especially we cannot go deep alone. The 75th Division  This is how we suffered last time, we lost a group!"

    "Well, you're right about that!" Hu Congjun also echoed.

    ? ?, if there is a trap ahead, then the entire 11th Division will definitely fall into it.

    *************

    " However, the 11th Division's attack was unusually smooth. They entered Fengxian County without encountering a battle at all.  This made Commander Wang very happy. He returned to the city in person and inspected his old residence. He also arranged several banquets and invited the commanders of the 11th Division and several brigade commanders to have a meal together.  In the Sixth War Zone, Zhang Xian had known Commander Wang for a long time, so he also invited Zhang Xian.

    During the dinner, everyone couldn't help but talk about this military operation again. Brigadier Yang Tao was a little proud and joked: "These communist bandits are so unlucky. When they heard that we were coming, they ran away without even meeting us.  None of them were left without a trace, and I was still thinking about having a big fight with them!"

    Wang Yuanling also said: "Yes, the brothers are already gearing up and waiting to compete with them!"

    Brigadier Qin of the 18th Brigade is also making fun of him.

    However, Hu Congjun remained silent. Commander Wang became impatient and asked him, "What do you think, Master Hu?"

    Hu Congjun smiled and said to him: "Feng County is not a city that the Communist Army must defend. Their headquarters for issuing orders is in Heze. I want to wait until we capture Heze before we can say this again!"

    Commander Wang nodded, and the three brigade commanders also found it boring. They looked at each other awkwardly and stopped speaking.

    Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Commander Wang saw Zhang Xian and asked with a smile: "By the way, our little regiment leader, when you were in the Sixth War Zone, you were a famous combat adjutant. Why do you come to see us?"

    Zhang Xian pondered for a moment, then looked at Hu Congjun beside him. When he saw him nodding to him, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let me tell you my opinion! I think the Communist Army  They are definitely not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. What they are probably adopting now is a strategy of avoiding the real situation and taking advantage of the weak. The Fifth Army is coming with great momentum. If they confront us head-on, they will definitely suffer the loss. So they are likely to adopt a strategy  Guerrilla warfare is just like the Jiangxi siege, let us go deep into it, and then make a surprise attack, causing us to lose sight of one thing!"

    Hu Congjun nodded, but Commander Wang smiled and said: "Maybe our little regiment leader is too worried. Haha, you can tell from the Communist prisoners captured by the Fifth Army. They always refuse to fight.  That is to say, as long as you see the Fifth Army coming, you should hide from a distance first!"

    Hearing what he said, Hu Congjun showed a look of disdain on his face.

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Commander, don't forget who our opponent is. Luxi is under the jurisdiction of the famous Liu Bocheng of the Communist Army. Liu Bocheng was an instructor at Huangpu. Will he be afraid of his students?"

    This sentence made both Commander Wang and Hu Congjun a little embarrassed. Wang Jingjiu was a student in the first phase of Huangpu and had also attended Liu Bocheng's class.

    Zhang Xian smiled again and said, "You may think we are lucky that we entered Fengxian County without any bloodshed; if we advance into Heze without any bloodshed again, what would you think?"

    Wang Jingjiu and Hu Congjun looked at each other. They had never thought about this problem. He Ze was also the core of the Shandong Liberated Area. Could it be that the Communist Party would give up so easily?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
