At 4:30 in the afternoon, Hu Congjun gave an order, and the 12th Corps Headquarters and the 11th Division began their breakout journey.
According to the predetermined plan, Battalion Commander Mei Zhanyuan led the chariot battalion to clear the way, followed by the infantry of the 11th Division, while the subordinate troops of the Corps Headquarters, non-combatants and some medical staff could move around. of lightly wounded soldiers followed behind the 11th Division. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Zhang Xian arranged for Commander Bai Jingsheng to lead the 31st Regiment in front, with the 354th Regiment led by Han Jue to protect both sides. After the setback at Dawangzhuang, Zhang Xian appointed Sha Changhai as the leader of the 32nd Regiment. The regiment became the tail of the entire formation and was responsible for the task of cutting off the rear.
For the three chief and deputy commanders of the 12th Corps, Huang Wei, Hu Congjun and Wu Zhou were riding in three tanks respectively. This was to ensure the safety of these officers.
Before breaking out, Zhang Xian ordered all the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division to wet their face towels and tie them to their left arms, saying that they would be easier to identify. But Wu Hua asked several times why he needed to get wet, but Zhang Xian just didn't say anything. Since it was the division commander who gave the order, everyone had no choice but to follow it.
However, after the breakout began, the process was so difficult.
Mei Zhanyuan personally led the chariot battalion to rush across the Huanggou River to the west of Pinggudui and rushed into the People's Liberation Army's position. Immediately behind, five tanks and armored vehicles followed. After boarding these five tanks, Bai Jingsheng commanded the 31st Regiment to follow closely. However, there were still three tanks mixed in with the soldiers of the 11th Division. .
There is a stone bridge on the Huanggou River. When Shuangduiji was surrounded, this stone bridge was always under the control of the 11th Division and was not blown apart. Zhang Xian's purpose of leaving this bridge behind was to facilitate the battle. The charge of the car.
Soon, under the guidance of the tanks, the 31st Regiment rushed into the People's Liberation Army's position. Seeing a large number of national troops rushing over under the guidance of the tanks, the People's Liberation Army's artillery fire was all aimed at that building. The stone bridge wanted to cut off the opponent's tanks and soldiers that were coming. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Nationalist Army were already in a state of fleeing for their lives. No one had any scruples about defending the stone bridge. Under the powerful artillery fire, the artillery shells hit the stone bridge with a loud bang. The stone bridge collapsed completely, and a moving chariot on the bridge fell into the cold river together with the crowds of people.
"No, the bridge was blown up!" Wu Hua, who was following Zhang Xian, couldn't help shouting.
Zhang Xian looked around and saw a tank climbing with difficulty from the half-collapsed bridge to the other side of the river. The number 021 was clearly written on the Xiafei tank. It was the one that Hu Congjun was riding. He immediately put it down. He was half-hearted; looking further forward, Huang Wei was riding in Tank No. 020, which had already reached the front; but there was another tank on the east side of the Huanggou River that had not passed, numbered 022, and it was Wu Zhou. The deputy commander's seat.
"There is still one chariot that has not crossed the river!" Wu Hua pointed at Wu Zhou's driver's seat and told Zhang Xian.
"I can't control it any more!" Zhang Xian said coldly, and at the same time ordered: "Tell everyone, if you haven't crossed the river yet, walk across the river, hurry up, and don't fall behind!"
"Yes!" The ordering soldiers sent out the order separately.
In Zhang Xian¡¯s opinion, if Deputy Commander Wu Zhou was not stupid, he would have gotten out of the tank, joined the flow of people of the 11th Division, and broken out of the encirclement. On this battlefield of escape, no matter how high your position is, you can only rely on your own abilities at this time. Zhang Xian did not expect that after the tank was blocked, Deputy Commander Wu simply stopped escaping and returned to the bunker to wait for the Communist prisoners.
Although the People's Liberation Army on the west bank is very tenacious, it cannot withstand the roar of tanks and the desperate officers and soldiers of the 11th Division. Mei Zhanyuan led several tanks from the tank battalion and rushed through the artillery strike zone of the People's Liberation Army and rushed to the position. , one after another, they destroyed several powerful firepower points carefully designed by them, opening up the situation for Bai Jingsheng's 31st Regiment to smoothly rush in. Under the personal leadership of Bai Jingsheng, the officers and soldiers of the 31st Regiment rushed into this position and fought hand-to-hand with the People's Liberation Army. The national troops that followed also came in a steady stream, giving their opponents no chance to breathe.
Soon, the People's Liberation Army stationed in this fast position was defeated and retreated to the north and south.
Zhang Xian ordered the 11th Division to continue to advance westward and not pursue a pursuit to expand the results.
Hu Congjun sat in the tank and looked at the battle ahead through the periscope. Although he was frightened, he did not expect that the 11th Division had such a strong combat capability. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "No wonder this Zhang Xian keeps asking for a breakout." , it turns out that he really has the capital to break through!"
At this time, the 11th Division did not occupy the position after attacking to the west, nor did it expand the results in depth. Instead, the entire army moved straight to the west and was responsible for the solution of the dual-dumping western positions.At that time, some national soldiers were knocked down by poisonous gas, but in comparison, this was considered very worthwhile.
The Eleventh Division and the Corps Headquarters just passed by with cars and horses roaring. Although the number of people was reduced a lot, the team was still several miles long.
"However, after passing the second line of defense, there was another large trench outside. This time there were no piles of earth on both sides of the trench. The earth was all transported away by migrant workers organized by the People's Liberation Army.
"What should I do?" Wu Hua asked again.
Zhang Xian looked at the remaining five tanks patrolling the trench, and said helplessly: "I have no choice but to give up these tanks!"
Wu Hua and Pan Yang both nodded.
"Sanwa, go and inform Battalion Commander Mei to abandon the chariot immediately, and tell Chief Hu and Chief Huang to abandon the chariot and walk!" Zhang Xian ordered.
Xiong Sanwa was startled, then replied: "Yes!" He quickly ran towards the chariot beside the trench.
Chief of Staff Pan couldn't help but smile and joked: "Master, now you have become a commander and have begun to order Huang and Hu to come!"
Zhang Xian was not in the mood to joke with him, and said seriously: "The safest thing for a person is to rely on his own legs. If he relies on other things, there will always be times when it doesn't work!"
Wu Hua and Pan Yang nodded at the same time, suddenly feeling that Zhang Xian's words were very philosophical.
The People's Liberation Army's artillery fire became fierce again, roaring in the direction of the 11th Division's breakout, leaving no room for breathing. Zhang Xian knew that the enemy wanted to block their way forward. Just after breaking through this trench, I don¡¯t know if there is a third enemy line of defense ahead. If there is, it may be catastrophic for the entire breakout force. I¡¯m afraid that the 11th Division will also become At the end of a powerful crossbow, it cannot penetrate the paper manuscript.
Xiong Sanwa ran back panting, but hurriedly reported to Zhang Xian: "Brother Xian, it's bad, Chief Hu was hit by an enemy shell!"
"Ah?" Zhang Xian couldn't help being startled. Wu Hua and Chief of Staff Pan who were following him also shouted: "What's going on? Chief Hu was killed in battle?"
"No! No!" Xiong Sanwa was still panting, and after a moment of composure, he stammered and said breathlessly: "Just now Just now, Chief Hu, he he never When he climbed out of the tank, a cannonball exploded next to him, blowing open the coat on Commander Hu's back and leaving blood everywhere!"
"Is Chief Hu not dead?" Wu Hua asked hurriedly.
"No" Xiong Sanwa shook his head quickly, and then said: "He is not dead, but he is unconscious!"
"Where are the others?" Zhang Xian almost lost control, shouting loudly, and the sound actually covered up the rumbling sound of the cannon.
"Captain Mei carried him across the trench on his back!" Xiong Sanwa told him that this was the first time he had seen Zhang Xian so panicked after following Zhang Xian for so long.
"Let's go! Let's cross the trench quickly!" Zhang Xian ordered, taking the lead and chasing the troops in front.
On the way, Wu Hua was still asking: "How is Chief Huang?"
Xiong Sanwa replied: "Chief Huang is fine. He and Deputy Chief of Staff Wen and others crossed the trench first!"
"Huh, he runs really fast!" Wu Hua couldn't help but cursed contemptuously. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
