    After receiving the order from the column headquarters, Qian Xiongfeng immediately led the 20th Brigade eastward to block the 11th Division.

    At this time, several battalions and companies of the First Brigade continued to resist in several villages to the east of the 20th Brigade. Although Zhang Xian was very anxious, he had no choice but to fight with these communist troops one village at a time.

    At this time, the sky was already bright. The 11th Division only advanced two kilometers to the west and captured four villages. In a village called Chemazhuang, it started a street battle with the People's Liberation Army. The battle was extremely fierce.

    "If we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to reach Huangzhuang until dark!" Chief of Staff Pan Yang came to Zhang Xian and said with some worry.  The direction of Huangzhuang is exactly the breakthrough direction chosen by the 118th Division.

    Zhang Xian also nodded, feeling anxious in his heart.

    "But how can we fight if we don't fight like this?" Deputy Division Commander Wu Hua also frowned and said at the same time: "The enemy has set up fortifications in every village and blocked all roads.  I¡¯m afraid the losses will be even greater!¡±

    Wu Hua¡¯s words are very reasonable. There are many villages on the north bank of the Wohe River. Although most of them are only small villages with 20 or 30 households and 200 or 300 people, they are controlling the roads that can be traveled.  These People's Liberation Army defense troops in each village are not many in number, either a company, a battalion, or even less or only a platoon, but they have built numerous criss-crossing earthen forts, bunkers, trenches, etc. on the main road at the entrance of the village.  Luzhai, watchtowers, etc., use all kinds of defense methods. Even these few people have played a very important blocking role.  If the soldiers of the 11th Division want to defeat these firepower fortifications, they must pay twice or even three times the price. This is just like when the People's Liberation Army attacked Nanma when the 11th Division was reorganized.  Once those fortifications were defeated one by one by the national army, the surviving people in the village would quickly retreat and converge on the next village before the national army arrived.

    "Now if we want to speed up our march, we can only attack with force!" Zhang Xian thought about it and said this.

    "Master, this is too risky!" Wu Hua was a little worried.

    Zhang Xiandao: "I think it can be like this, with a battalion as a unit to fight independently, with a company in front of this battalion as the vanguard, quickly assaulting the village, thrusting in front as deep as possible; the other  The company followed closely, picking up those enemy skirmishers who fell behind and dared to resist in the village; the third company directly surrounded them from the side, using heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenades and mortars to attack those who counterattacked from the outside.  The enemy coming over makes it impossible for them to provide full support. In this way, even if the enemy occupies a few more villages, we can wipe them out together!"

    Chief of Staff Pan¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up, and he agreed: ¡°Yes! We attack one village per battalion. I don¡¯t believe that these communist troops occupy more villages than our division¡¯s battalions!¡±

    Wu Hua nodded, but said with some worry: "It's good, but the 11th Division dispersed and broke into pieces, so it won't be called the 11th Division. If the enemy suddenly gathers one or two regiments to counterattack, we will  what to do?"

    Chief of Staff Pan was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head and said: "The enemy's troops are scattered and guarding each village, and they have no ability to concentrate anymore!"

    Zhang Xian shook his head and said: "Old Wu's worry is also very reasonable!" After saying that, he thought about it again and said: "Haha, I think this is good, let's keep the thirty-two regiments in our hands.  , used as a maneuver to ensure just in case!¡±

    Hearing this arrangement, Wu Hua and Chief of Staff Pan nodded at the same time.

    The results of the change in tactics were obvious. By noon, the 11th Division had successively captured seven or eight villages, including Qianli Zhuang, Houli Zhuang, Li Zhuang, Zhang Lizhuang, and Xiaoma Zhuang. Zhang Xian led  After taking over Chemazhuang, the headquarters of the 11th Division pushed forward to the Cuiqiao and Yuqiao lines, and would soon reach Qiyuan Town on the north bank of the Guohe River in front of Mengcheng City.

    But at this time, Qian Xiongfeng, leading the main force of the 20th Brigade, had arrived at the Meizhuang and Liuzhuang lines and was meeting the 11th Division.

    The 20th Brigade has three regiments under its jurisdiction. At this time, in addition to leaving one group to continue to guard the Guohe defense line in front of Mengcheng, the main force still has two and a half regiments of more than 4,000 people who came together to kill the generals and launched a counterattack. In the blink of an eye,  In a short time, they drove out the two battalions of the national troops who had invaded Meizhuang and Liuzhuang, and pushed them all the way to Cui Bridge.

    At this time, Zhang Xian's 11th Division headquarters had also stationed at Cuiqiao. Everyone was optimistic that they would be able to capture Qiyuan Town soon and threaten the enemy's back in Huangzhuang before dark.  The messenger rushed to Zhang Xian in panic and reported to him that Meizhuang and Liuzhuang had discovered a large number of Communist troops. The two battalions that had entered the village had been defeated by the enemy and collapsed, and the leading Communist troops  The troops have arrived at Cuiqiao Village.?

    Almost at the same time, there was another fierce battle sound from Meizhuang, which was exactly behind the 20th Brigade at this time!

    "Oops!" Li Qingcheng suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help shouting: "I think we have been fooled by Zhang Xian again!"

    "Oh?" Qian Xiongfeng and Political Commissar Liu couldn't help but be surprised.

    Li Qingcheng said: "Now that I think about it, the reason why Zhang Xian wants to stick to Cui Bridge is actually a bait. He attracted us here, but then besieged us from the north, west and south. This is to kill us.  !¡±

    After Li Qingcheng said this, Qian Xiongfeng and Political Commissar Liu were startled, and suddenly felt like a dream. Although it was already the depth of winter, everyone was dripping with cold sweat.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
