Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

It didn't matter at this moment, but his guards and soldiers were stunned. Fortunately, Xu Jinsong had been following Li Jiansheng. He guessed this when he saw Li Jiansheng taking off his shoes. He knew that Li Jiansheng was going to go into the water, but he didn't know what Li Jiansheng was going to do. So he He got into the water quietly and followed Li Jiansheng closely. When the other guards saw the commander in chief, they also hurriedly got into the water.

Bai Kaishan, who was directing the construction of the bridge, did not pay attention to Li Jiansheng's situation at first. He was busy directing the men and horses to build the bridge. Only later when the soldiers around him exclaimed: "Look, Commander-in-Chief," Bai Kaishan looked towards the shore. For a while, Li Jiansheng didn't even look at him. After a while, he followed the soldiers' gaze and looked into the river, and he was shocked: the commander-in-chief had actually reached the center of the Xiangjiang River, and the water was up to his chest.

You must know that it is already winter, the weather is already very cold, and the water in the river is, needless to say, extremely cold. How could the commander-in-chief do this and directly enter the water?

Bai Kaishan shouted, but no one listened to him except the soldiers around him. Everyone just got down to the work at hand and watched the commander-in-chief and several guards around him holding hands and slowly walking towards the river. Move, and after a while, they are getting closer and closer to the other side of the river. The 10th Red Division, the Special Agent Brigade and the Guard Regiment are protecting the field hospital, and when the logistics system rushes to the river, Li Jiansheng is slowly coming ashore. As a result, everyone Witnessed a touching scene: the commander-in-chief, soaked all over, waded across the river and landed on the other side of the river. Every soldier knew that the commander-in-chief, for their sake, personally waded across the river to test the depth of the river. Obviously, the commander-in-chief succeeded, so when Li Jiansheng climbed up on the other side, the Red Army soldiers here made a stir.

The loud noises of the soldiers made the main force of the Eighteenth Red Army of the Yuntian tribe who came after them feel confused. When the soldiers inquired about it, they found out the reason, and they all couldn't help but be moved.

On the other side, Li Jiansheng saw Yuntian's troops arriving at the riverside, and immediately asked to talk to Yuntian. Yuntian came over to discuss the situation of crossing the river with Li Jiansheng. Li Jiansheng asked Yuntian's troops not to wait for the pontoon bridge to be erected, but to immediately wade across the river according to the route he had just taken. The river and pontoon were allowed to pass by the field hospital and logistics troops. Yuntian agreed and immediately organized the troops to cross the river. Li Jiansheng thought for a while and asked Yuntian to try to find a rope. If the rope could not be found, let the soldiers take the leggings and connect them. , pulled up a rope and asked the soldiers to hold on to the rope to cross the river. The engineers from Yuntian's headquarters tried it according to the commander-in-chief's instructions, and the effect was good. In addition, the commander-in-chief and others were on the other side to help, and they quickly pulled up a few ropes. The rope that runs through the Xiangjiang River helps the Eighteenth Red Army Corps cross the river.

As for the 5th Red Division, because Li Jiansheng has been strengthening training in this area in the past, the bridge building has not been slow; now because of the participation of the engineering brigade directly under the Red Third Front Army that arrived with the 18th Red Army, the bridge building speed is greatly Strengthening efforts, by the end of the night, 12 pontoon bridges, field hospitals, logistics systems, and the remaining units of the 15th Red Division were erected across the river in one go. By this time, all the veterans finally understood what they had done. When we were in the base area, why did the current commander-in-chief, the old regiment commander, teacher commander, and veteran regiment commander at that time ask his troops to learn to build bridges like that? He also sighed secretly, fortunately we listened to the old commander and learned it seriously. , No, now we are just going smoothly.

With the help of Li Jiansheng and others from the opposite side, the 5th Red Division built the bridge much faster. At least, the bridge that had been blown up by the original Central Red Army was quickly restored to traffic, and Li Jiansheng was able to return to the Xiangjiang River. On the east bank, the bridge-building troops of the 5th Red Division handed over the bridge-building work to the engineering brigade, and all the troops passed through the Xiangjiang River first, and then immediately set up blocking positions on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.

December 1st was already the beginning of winter, and the night wind blew from the Xiangjiang River and penetrated into the thin clothes of the Red Army soldiers after the war. Unlike those who had just joined the Third Front Army of the Red Army, Li Jiansheng's various ministries had already been prepared. They didn't feel anything, but the Red Army soldiers left behind by the Central Red Army were very cold. Li Jiansheng looked at these soldiers and felt a little pitiful, so he immediately asked the signal corps to notify Yuntian and Xu Zhengfang to come over. The two men rushed over immediately. At that time, Yuntian's troops The Eighteenth Red Army Corps was crossing the river, and Xu Zhengfang's troops were waiting at the ferry. Li Jiansheng immediately issued an order to Yuntian: After the Eighteenth Red Army Corps crossed the river, they immediately divided their troops into three groups: immediately open a landing site along the way and occupy the hills on both sides. , and build a blocking position to ensure that the large force crosses the river; along the way, they light fires at nearby locations to prepare for the large force to camp on the spot after crossing the river; the first unit continues to advance forward to make certain preparations for the advance of the follow-up troops, waiting for the large force After they had all crossed the river, the Eighteenth Red Army Corps changed from a vanguard force to a rearguard force and became the general rearguard of the entire army. After hearing this, Yuntian agreed and went to make arrangements on his own. After taking only two steps, Li Jiansheng called him up again, and then sent the old soldiers to the rear. The Red Army called them over and handed them over to Yuntian, asking him to temporarily organize these old Red Army officers into a cadre company of the Eighteenth Red Army and follow the army. Yuntian still agreed and took these 117 old Red Army soldiers.

Li Jiansheng's order to Xu Zhengfang was very simple: immediately organize logistical support and issue cotton-padded clothes to the newly joined Red Army soldiers. If they are not enough, you can use cotton-padded clothes stripped from the enemy's corpses; as for the capture of the enemy, including two divisions of the Gui Army and the Hunan enemy A division's inventory of military supplies and baggage supplies must not be used, because the road to the Western Expedition is still long, and these supplies must be kept as much as possible. Xu Zhengfang agreed and went to arrange it himself.

After Li Jiansheng made these arrangements, he came to the Xiangjiang River again. The troops of the 15th Red Division were running in an orderly manner through the bridge left by the Central Red Army and now repaired by the engineering troops. The engineering troops soon moved the second bridge and the third bridge. After the bridge was repaired, the field hospitals, weapons development institutes and other logistics troops of the Third Red Front Army first crossed the river through these two bridges. As for the Eighteenth Red Army Corps, all members of the Red 1st Division took over the blocking position of the Red 5th Division on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. The headquarters of the 5th Division on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, under the leadership of division commander Niu Dali, waded across the river together with the 3rd Red Division, and then merged with the headquarters of the 5th Red Division political commissar Bai Kaishan on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. The 3rd Red Division acted as the leader and moved forward. Exploring the situation, the 5th Red Division established blocking positions on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. At this point, both sides of the Xiangjiang River were firmly controlled by the Red 1st and Red 5th Divisions of the Red 18th Army of the Third Front Army.

Li Jiansheng felt very strange, because he never saw the enemy's plane. Later, when he thought about it, he couldn't blame the enemy. You know, the Red Army of the Third Front had defeated two divisions of the Gui Army and one division of the Hunan Army in one breath. Now they I was afraid that I had to take a break, but then I thought about it. It was almost evening now, so it made sense that the plane wouldn't come. But then I thought about it, if it doesn't come today, it doesn't mean it won't come tomorrow. It's impossible to say that the whole army must cross the river tonight.
