    In order to express his gratitude to the soldiers who fought bloody battles in the front, after the meeting, Commander Yang Tao organized cadres above the company commander of the 18th Army to hold a meeting at the Confucian Temple in Mengcheng. The Confucian Temple at this time was the temporary residence of the 18th Army.  The military headquarters.

    The name of this meeting was designated as the "Review Meeting of the Wuhe Crossing Operation". At this meeting, in addition to those cadres above the company commander, there were also meritorious soldiers who performed outstandingly in this operation.  After Commander Huang Wei heard about it, he personally came over with Chief of Staff Xiao without waiting for Commander Yang Tao's invitation.

    Naturally, Commander-in-Chief Huang spoke at the beginning of the meeting, encouraging and rewarding those who had performed well. After he cheered everyone up for a while, an adjutant from the corps headquarters came to him hurriedly, and he had to resign.  He went, but left Chief of Staff Xiao to represent his presence.

    Then, under the personal leadership of Commander Yang Tao, he summarized the gains and losses of the river-crossing battle, commended Zhang Xian's 11th Division for capturing the other side of Mengcheng, and also praised the 118th Division's three  The failure of the 13th Regiment to complete its scheduled mission was analyzed. At the meeting, everyone believed that although there were many reasons why the 33rd Regiment failed to capture Huangzhuang, the objective reason was that the enemy responded very quickly and subsequent reinforcements arrived quickly.  As a result, the 33rd Regiment failed to seize the best opportunity at the beginning and broke into the village in one fell swoop. Instead, it fell into a confrontation with the enemy.  Therefore, the main reason for the failure was that the 33rd Regiment played too conservatively and adopted an all-offensive and all-defensive strategy, resulting in a failure of success.

    The squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders who performed well also spoke one after another, each recounting summaries that they believed would be useful for the next battle. One of the platoon leaders proposed that when fighting for villages against the enemy, if they could  Preparing an American-style flamethrower should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.  This suggestion immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Xian and Commander Yang Tao. Commander Yang Tao immediately decided to let each regiment prepare five flame emitters. The quartermaster would first distribute the flame emitters in the inventory to each regiment equally. If there were not enough  The parts will be filled in later.

    After the reports of each battalion and regiment, Commander Yang Tao made a concluding speech, encouraging everyone to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and to continue the experience again.  Finally, the promotion list of a group of people was announced. Those who performed outstandingly in this battle were upgraded to varying degrees. At the same time, a group of bonuses were issued. At the end of the meeting, everyone gathered for a dinner.

    Seeing everyone happily gathering in the open space in front of the Confucian Temple for a dinner, Zhang Xian also held a bowl and mingled among the crowd. This feeling was like returning to the time when he had just joined the army.  During the years of the Anti-Japanese War.

    It's said to be a dinner party, but it actually means cooking a meaty dish. Everyone holds a pot, and the cook scoops out a spoonful from the big pot, no matter it's more or less, thick or thin, hula  They were placed in the enamel jar, and everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

    Zhang Xianzheng had a pleasant chat with several company commanders of the 33rd Regiment. When he was first reorganized, he was the brigade commander of the 118th Brigade. At that time, these company commanders were just squad leaders, and they were extremely respectful to him. In this  At that moment, Chen Daxing came over and whispered in his ear: "Brother Xian, Xiao Shenzuo and Commander Yang are looking for you. It seems they know that you did not transfer the 32nd Regiment back to the south bank of the Guohe River!  "

    Zhang Xian was slightly startled, then spoke to the company commanders, stood up and handed his jar to Chen Daxing. At this time, he couldn't eat the meat in the jar anymore, so he might as well give it to someone else to eat.  .

    Originally, when Commander Yang Tao ordered the 11th Division to retreat to the south bank of the Guohe River, Zhang Xian, just in case, was afraid that the People's Liberation Army would pursue him from behind again, so he left the 32nd Regiment in the north bank position and defended those areas.  At the same time, the engineer battalion was ordered to build three pontoon bridges on the Guohe River near Mengcheng. Once the north bank could no longer be defended, the 32nd Regiment could immediately withdraw to Henan.  These arrangements were made on the night of the 16th and during the day of the 17th. They could be regarded as his coordination of the operations of the 11th Division, so he did not ask Commander Yang for instructions.

    Entering the command room of the military headquarters, Yang Tao, Wang Yuanling and Chief of Staff Xiao were already waiting here. When they saw Commander Yang sitting on a bench, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face, while Chief of Staff Xiao also had a look on his face.  With a smile, Zhang Xian was half relieved.

    "Come here, Commander, are you two looking for me?" Zhang Xianqiang calmed himself and asked as if he didn't know anything.

    When Chief of Staff Xiao and Yang Tao saw Zhang Xian's arrival, they immediately stopped smiling. Commander Yang tightened his face and asked with an annoyed look: "Zhang Xian, I asked you to withdraw the 11th Division to Guohe River."  Coming from Henan, why is there still a regiment staying in Hebei?"

    Zhang Xian had already thought of his words and was not panicking at the moment, he was calm and composed.He hurriedly asked: "What mission?"

    Chief of Staff Xiao said: "Now on the river defense on the north bank of the Guohe River near Mengcheng, we have only captured the front and east sides of Mengcheng, while the Huangzhuang area to the west is still controlled by the Communist army. This defense line of the Guohe River is Hun  If the two banks of the Guohe River in the west are not under our control, then the Communist army may attack from the west at any time, and Mengcheng will be unsafe!"

    "I understand!" Zhang Xian said: "Do you want us to seize Huangzhuang on the north bank of the Guohe River in the west?"

    Chief of Staff Xiao nodded solemnly.

    Wang Yuanling said with some embarrassment: "Ah Xian, I originally thought that our 118th Division should complete this task, but the army commander thought that our 118th Division was newly defeated there and the 33rd Regiment suffered too many casualties, so it should not be done again.  When I go to war, I am afraid that the soldiers will have a shadow in their hearts, so"

    "Brother Wang, Commander Yang is right!" Zhang Xian interrupted Wang Yuanling, and at the same time promised Yang Tao: "Our 11th Division can definitely take Huangzhuang!"

    Yang Tao nodded, stood up, walked in front of him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Okay, A-Xian, with your words, I feel more at ease!"

    "When will we start the fight?" Zhang Xian asked Yang Tao.

    "Of course, the sooner the better!" Yang Tao said, and at the same time thought about it, and said: "Okay, you go prepare tonight. Tomorrow is the 18th, and you can attack during the day. I will let you  Artillery fire and air force will support you. At the same time, the 118th Division will also attack from Qiyuan Town in the east to the west. I hope to capture Huangzhuang before dark tomorrow!"

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian answered loudly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
