    The 10th Column, under the leadership of column commander Wang Kun, led the 28th Brigade of the vanguard to capture Liulin. Later, Wang Kun ordered the two regiments of the 28th Brigade to cover and respond to the follow-up troops and the health units directly under the column along the railway.  The troops of the 10th column passed the railway; the team directly under the 10th column used a regiment of the 28th Brigade as the vanguard and followed it vertically. They crossed the railway first and continued westward, preparing to seize Xishuanghe and then wait for the follow-up troops.  After catching up with the various ministries, they continued to the hinterland of Tongbai Mountain in the northwest direction.

    Commander Wang Kun did not know that near Xishuanghe at this time, the tiger and wolf divisions of the National Army's reorganized 20th Division, two brigades and four regiments were ambushing.

    In the early morning of December 6th, after the sky was bright, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still gray and there were thick dark clouds in the sky, giving people a strong sense of depression.  Commander Wang Kun had already arrived to the west of the railway with the leading troops of the 10th column, and the following ministries were also preparing to cross the railway. However, what followed was an interruption in communication, and there was some confusion among the ministries.

    In this advancing echelon, those behind were one regiment from the 29th Brigade and the 30th Brigade. These two regiments escorted the column directly under the Ministry of Health. They had already reached the east side of the railway. Take a look.  It was already getting brighter, and I started to feel guilty.  They did not know that the 28th Brigade in front had already controlled the Ping-Han Railway. Based on their experience of crossing the railway in the Great Plains of North China during the Anti-Japanese War in the past, they believed that crossing the railway in broad daylight would be like flying moths to a flame.  Asking for your own destruction.  It was precisely because of the rigid application of past experience and under the influence of this wrong view that these troops turned around and headed east again, returning to Jiuli Pass where they started, preparing to wait until dark before crossing the railway.

    The ten vertical and horizontal organs at the forefront, which had crossed the railway to the west of the road, followed the vanguard regiment of the 28th Brigade and continued to advance. In the afternoon, after climbing over two mountain ridges, they reorganized with the National Army into 20 units.  The divisions encountered each other and fierce fighting took place.  This vanguard regiment tried to break through the blockade of the 20th Reorganized Division, but due to the strong firepower of the opponent, it had to retreat. One of the battalions was completely surrounded by the enemy. Although the other two battalions fought bloody battles, they could not  To rescue him, he had to build a temporary position behind him and fight fiercely with the national army in front to cover the ten vertical lines behind him.

    After a hard fight, the trapped battalion broke out, but it already suffered heavy casualties.  However, the battalion still brought out a prisoner, a platoon leader of the national army.  Under urgent interrogation and through the prisoner's confession, Commander Wang Kun realized the seriousness of the situation.

    After nightfall, the Nationalist Army reorganized the 20th Division and temporarily stopped the attack. At this time, the main force of the 28th Brigade was still along the railway, while other troops were still at Jiuliguan east of the railway.

    Faced with the severe situation, Commander Wang had to abandon his original plan to break out in the northwest and instead attack in the southwest, because according to the confessions of enemy prisoners, there were no enemies in this direction.

    After the rain, it was not a nice day. It was gloomy everywhere. Liu Xinghua felt that his heart was just like that day, congested and uncomfortable, but he could not express it.

    Early in the morning, the troops set off from Sanli City and advanced to the northwest. They wanted to reach Jiuliguan before dark. Then they crossed the railway at night and turned to Tongbai Mountain. He knew that the troops he was carrying at this time  The team of ten thousand people has become the end of this long queue. If the enemy gets stuck on the railway, they will probably be the ones who cannot get through.

    Sanli City is located to the east of Jigong Mountain, while Jiuliguan is located to the north of Jigong Mountain. The Ping-Han Railway passes through the west of Jigong Mountain. Their march was actually going around Jigong Mountain.  .

    Xiong Zhuoran came to Liu Xinghua's side, but he was also worried about something like him. He said to him: "Old Liu, at our speed, we may not be able to pass the railway!"

    Liu Xinghua nodded. He didn't know the danger, but he looked at the local cadres who were lagging behind, and said helplessly: "We can't leave them alone, can we?"

    "Of course it is!" Xiong Zhuoran also nodded, but then said: "I am thinking that Commander Wang and the leading troops of the 10th column should have already crossed the railway by this time. It is just waiting for us to cross the railway. It may take  It¡¯s already midnight, do you think we can still get there so easily?¡±

    Liu Xinghua looked at him and naturally knew what he was thinking of. Even the stupidest enemy would not be able to let go of the first wave of people without being alert on the first day, and then on the second and third days.  You have to do crime prevention.

    "What do you mean?" Liu Xinghua asked.

    Xiong Zhuoran smiled and said to him: "I don't think we can follow Wang Kun.??Catch them before dark!  "

    "Yes!" Xu Haibo and Captain Liu agreed in unison.

    At noon, Liu Xinghua's troops had arrived at Chashan Village. Looking at the exhausted female soldiers in the cadre regiment, they could not be allowed to fall behind again. In desperation, Liu Xinghua, Political Commissar Xiong, Captain Zhang of the cadre regiment, and the second  Brigadier Li of the 19th Brigade discussed it and decided to rest here temporarily and eat dry food before leaving.

    Taking advantage of this period of rest, Liu Xinghua ordered the intelligence team to contact Commander Wang Kun again, but after a long time, no signal was received from there. It was obvious that the agencies directly under the Tenth Column were also marching, so Liu Xinghua had to give up.

    Seeing that it was getting late and everyone had rested for an hour, Liu Xinghua once again ordered the troops to set off and move forward. At this moment, he saw Company Commander Zhang Yi riding a horse from behind. When he saw Liu Xinghua, he stopped waiting for the horse to stop.  Once he was stable, he jumped down. The injured arm wrapped in gauze did not affect his flexibility.

    "Zhang Yi, you are so impatient and angry, are there any enemies behind you?" Liu Xinghua immediately thought of something and asked anxiously.

    "Yes!" Zhang Yi gasped.  His company followed Brigadier Liang San as the rear unit and was at the back of the team. It was precisely because Zhang Yi was very familiar with the vertical and horizontal mechanisms of the Xianghe column that Brigadier Liang sent him to ventilate the troops.  Report the news.

    "What's going on?" Xiong Zhuoran also walked over quickly, followed by Captain Zhang of the cadre regiment and Brigadier Li of the 29th Brigade.

    Zhang Yi glanced at these people and then reported to them: "The news came from our informants who stayed in Sanli City. The enemy has entered Sanli City and is running towards Jiuliguan!"

    "It came so fast!" Liu Xinghua couldn't help shouting.

    "Let's go quickly!" Brigadier Li and Commander Zhang urged almost in unison.

    Liu Xinghua shook his head, looked at the wounded and the cadres under his command, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid we can't outrun them!"

    "They will run even if they can't run!" Brigadier Li was very stubborn.

    Liu Xinghua glanced at him, a little disappointed with the brigade commander of the main force, and found that he was not as smart as his brigade commanders Liang San and Hua Feng.

    Xiong Zhuoran explained to him: "The enemy's target is us. So what if we reach Jiuliguan? Can we cross the railway immediately? If we can't cross the railway immediately, we will probably be attacked by the enemy from both sides. That is quite serious.  Dangerous thing! Even if we can cross the railway immediately, it is difficult to say that the road ahead will be smooth!"

    After Political Commissar Xiong said this, Brigadier Li and Commander Zhang both understood. At this time, their situation was already very dangerous. There were chasing troops behind them. They didn't know the depth in front. It was like a blind man walking.  The water crossed the river and suddenly sank into the mud when it reached the middle of the river.  It¡¯s not about retreating, it¡¯s not about advancing!

    "What should we do?" Captain Zhang pushed up the glasses on his nose. For a political worker like him, he rarely encountered such a dangerous situation, so he couldn't help but panic.

    Liu Xinghua looked at Xiong Zhuoran, thought for a while, but said helplessly: "It seems that old bear, I can only do what you said! Let's have a golden cicada escape from its shell, what do you think?"

    "The golden cicada escaped from its shell?" Everyone was stunned!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
