    "Obviously, there are already People's Liberation Army troops blocking the other side of the Ying River. It is not so easy to cross the river smoothly.

    Yang Tao and Zhang Xian retreated outside the river embankment. The two of them discussed the corresponding countermeasures. At this time, Chen Daxing came with a local fellow. This fellow was already fifty or sixty years old. He was a hunchbacked and thin old man.  .  According to Chen Daxing, he found the old man after searching for a long time from a nearby village. Most of the people in that village had already fled. Everyone believed the Communist Party's propaganda and thought that the Kuomintang soldiers would arrive.  , they will burn, kill and loot in order to liquidate their daring to divide their fields.

    When the hunchbacked old man saw Yang Tao and Zhang Xian, he was shivering from time to time. He didn't know whether it was because his clothes were too thin and could not resist the cold north wind, or because of the fear in his heart.

    Zhang Xian ordered Xiong Sanwa to get a military coat, put it on the hunchbacked old man, and asked him to sit firmly on a stone next to him. After watching him gradually calm down, he told him: "Old man  , we are not bandits, we are the government¡¯s army, and the government¡¯s army is for the people, don¡¯t listen to the nonsense of the Communist Party!¡±

    The old man looked at Zhang Xian's kind face and nodded, but he still looked a little timid.

    At the beginning, Zhang Xian didn't ask the old man too many questions. He just asked about his age, family situation, what he did for a living, etc., and chatted about what the hunchbacked old man said.  There were more.  This is how people are, no matter how many strangers they are, as long as they talk more, there will be less barriers between them and more mutual trust.

    Seeing that the old man was no longer afraid, Zhang Xian asked: "Old man, has this Ying River always been so deserted? Why isn't there a boat here?"

    The hunchbacked old man said: "Yes, before you arrived, there were many boats coming and going on this river!"

    Zhang Xian and Yang Tao looked at each other and understood at the same time. Yang Tao asked: "So where have all these ships gone now?"

    The hunchbacked old man hesitated for a moment and looked at the two officers who were asking questions. They were both wearing yellow general uniforms. At first glance, he knew they were two high-ranking officials. He wrapped his military coat tightly around his body, but did not answer.  .

    Zhang Xian smiled and said to him: "Old man, this coat is just for you. The weather is too cold and I can't stand it without a coat!"

    The hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment, and asked with some joy but some disbelief: "Really?"

    Xiong Sanwa next to him took over what he said and said unhappily: "Of course it's true. Since our division commander said I would give it to you, I'll give it to you!" However, he was secretly angry in his heart. This military coat  It was his, and it was given to such an unrelated old man by Zhang Xian.

    Seeing Zhang Xian also nodded, the hunchbacked old man smiled, revealing half of his yellow teeth, and then told him: "Yesterday, those cadres came to our village and said  The Kuomintang reactionaries are coming"

    "What are you talking about, old man!" Xiong Sanwa interrupted him and couldn't help but get angry.

    Zhang Xian waved his hand to stop Xiong Sanwa's words, and calmly said to the old man: "It's okay, keep talking!"

    The old man also realized his gaffe and quickly changed his words: "Oh, they said you were coming, so they told everyone to hide, and they also told them to hide all the boats so that you didn't have to go!"

    "Do you know where they hid the boats?" Yang Tao asked impatiently.

    The hunchbacked old man shook his head.

    Zhang Xian was a little disappointed. It seemed that he didn't get any useful information from this local.  Immediately, he asked Xiong Sanwa to fetch two pieces of ocean and give them to the hunchbacked old man, and ordered Chen Daxing to send him away again.

    The hunchbacked old man was holding two pieces of ocean, already showing an unexpected surprise. He wanted to say something more, but he hesitated.

    Seeing Chen Daxing leaving with the old man, Yang Tao was helpless and could only say to Zhang Xian: "It seems that we should wait until Captain Qiao of the search team comes back from the north bank to investigate!"

    Prior to this, the 18th Army search team, led by Captain Qiao Shuqiang, had quietly crossed the river to the north bank for reconnaissance, but they didn¡¯t know when they would be able to return.

    Zhang Xian had no choice but to nod. On the other side of the river, the woods and river embankments together formed a natural line of defense. Even aerial reconnaissance could not see how many communist troops were ambushing on the other side. The Ying River was deep and fast.  It is not something that can be waded alone. If the enemy attacks when the army is halfway through, thensp; "Nonsense!" Wang Qin cursed, but she scolded Zhang Yi, Xia Yang and others inexplicably.  "Retreat to the north bank immediately!" Captain Wang ordered Zhang Yi loudly.

    "But it was the brigade commander who asked us to come here!" Zhang Yi felt very aggrieved.

    Wang Qin asked: "When he asked you to come here, were you following my command?"

    Zhang Yi nodded.

    "Okay, I order you to turn back to the north bank. Do you obey the order?" Wang Qin asked again.

    Zhang Yi had no choice but to nod once more and at the same time ordered Xia Yang's third company to turn back to the dock.  A clerk next to Captain Wang quickly chased after him and told Zhang Yi: "Captain Wang has almost reached an agreement with this imam just now. These Hui people asked our troops not to enter the town to harass them. Captain Wang  I also agreed, but you came here at this time, alas!" He sighed as he spoke, and then said: "These times are the most difficult to deal with, and they are very clinging to each other. Even the Kuomintang's security team couldn't do anything to them at the beginning.  In this case, Captain Wang will have to waste a long time talking!"

    Only then did Zhang Yi realize that he had been too reckless. He should have waited for the news from Captain Wang before taking action, but he should not have brought the troops over so early.

    On the pier, Wang Qin and the imam had been watching Zhang Yi's company get on the boats they came from and row to the north shore, and then they started talking again.

    And just when Zhang Yi returned to the north bank, Chen Daxing and his 11th Division guard battalion quickly drove to Huiliuji.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
