It didn't matter, but it scared his guards and soldiers. Fortunately, Xu Jinsong has been following Li Jiansheng, and he guessed these when he saw Li Jiansheng take off his shoes, knowing that Li Jiansheng was going to go into the water, but he didn't know what Li Jiansheng was going to do, so he went into the water silently and followed Li Jiansheng closely. When the other guards saw that the commander-in-chief was like this, they also hurriedly went into the water.

Bai Kaishan, who was directing the bridge, didn't pay attention to Li Jiansheng's situation at first, but was busy directing the people to build the bridge. Only to the exclamation of the soldiers around him later: "Look, commander-in-chief! After a while, he was shocked when he looked at the middle of the river following the soldiers' sights: the commander-in-chief had already arrived at the center of the Xiangjiang River, and the water had reached his chest!

You know, it's winter, and it's cold. The water in this river, needless to say, is also extremely cold! How could this commander-in-chief be like this, and go straight into the water?

Bai Kaishan shouted, but no one listened to him except for the warriors around him. Everyone just got into the work at hand, watching the commander-in-chief and a few guards around him hold hands and slowly move towards the river. After a while, they were getting closer and closer to the other side of the river. When the Red 10th Division, the Special Service Brigade, and the Guard Regiment rushed to the riverside to escort the field hospital and logistics system, Li Jiansheng was slowly going ashore. As a result, everyone witnessed a touching scene: the commander-in-chief was soaked, waded through the river, and went ashore on the other side of the river! Every soldier knows that the commander-in-chief, for their sake, personally waded across the river to test the depth of the river! Apparently, the commander-in-chief succeeded! Therefore, when Li Jiansheng climbed up on the opposite bank, the Red Army soldiers on this side became a sensation.

The sensational voices of the soldiers made the main force of the Red Eighteenth Army of the Yuntian Department who rushed over afterwards feel incomprehensible. As soon as the soldiers inquired, they learned the reason, and they couldn't help but be inexplicably moved.

Li Jiansheng saw Yun Tian's troops arrive at the riverside on the other side, and immediately asked to talk to Yun Tian. Yun Tian came over to discuss the situation of crossing the river with Li Jiansheng. Li Jiansheng asked Yuntian's subordinates not to wait for the pontoon bridge to be erected, and immediately wade across the river according to the route he had just come. pontoon bridge, giving way to the passage of field hospitals and logistics units. Yuntian responded, and immediately organized troops to cross the river. Li Jiansheng thought about it, and asked Yun Tian to find a rope, if he couldn't find the rope, let the soldiers take the leggings, connect them, pull up a rope, and let the soldiers grab the rope to cross the river. The sappers of Yuntian's subordinate gave a try according to the commander-in-chief's instructions, and the results were good, and with the help of the commander-in-chief and others on the opposite bank, they quickly pulled up several ropes running through the Xiangjiang River to assist the Red Eighteenth Army to cross the river.

As for the Red 5th Division, because Li Jiansheng has been strengthening training in this area in the past, building bridges is not slow; At present, because of the participation of the engineer brigade directly under the Red Third Front Army, which arrived with the 18th Red Army Corps, the speed of bridge building has been greatly strengthened. In the evening, 12 pontoon bridges were erected over the river in one go. Field hospital, logistics system and the rest of the Red 15th Division, the first batch to cross the river! And at this time, all the veterans finally understood why the current commander-in-chief, the old regiment commander, the teacher commander, and the old regiment commander at that time, let their troops learn to build bridges like that! I sighed to myself, fortunately, we listened to the old chief and learned it seriously, no, we are doing it smoothly now!

With the help of Li Jiansheng's group from the opposite side, the Red 5th Division built a bridge at a much faster speed. At least, the bridge that was blown up left by the former Central Red Army was soon restored to traffic. Li Jiansheng was able to return to the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. The bridge-erecting unit of the 5th Red Division handed over the bridge-erecting work to the engineer brigade, and all the troops passed through the Xiangjiang River first, and immediately set up a blocking position on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.

On December 1, it was already early winter, and the night wind blew from the Xiangjiang River, digging into the thin clothes of the Red Army soldiers after the war. Unlike the new Red Third Front Army, Li Jiansheng's troops did not feel anything at the moment because they had already prepared, but those Red Army soldiers left behind by the Central Red Army were extremely cold. Li Jiansheng saw that these soldiers were a little pitiful, and immediately asked the signal soldiers to notify Yuntian and Xu Zhengfang to come over. Two people rushed over at once. At that time, the Red Eighteenth Army of Yuntian's department was crossing the river, and Xu Zhengfang's department was waiting by the ferry. Li Jiansheng immediately issued an order to Yuntian: After the Red Eighteenth Army crossed the river, it immediately divided its troops into three routes: one way immediately opened a landing field, occupied the hills on both sides, and built blocking positions to ensure that the large army crossed the river; Along the way, they chose a place nearby to make a fire, and prepared for the camp on the spot after the large army crossed the river; The first section continued to advance to make certain preparations for the advance of the follow-up troops. After the majority of troops had crossed the river, the Red Eighteenth Army Corps changed from a leading force to a rear guard unit, and was the general rear guard of the whole army. Yuntian listened, responded, and went to make arrangements. After only two steps, Li Jiansheng called him again, and then called those old Red Army soldiers over and handed them over to Yuntian, asking him to temporarily unify these old Red Army Corps into a cadre company of the Red Eighteenth Army Corps and move with the army. Yuntian still responded, taking these 117 old Red Army soldiers with him.

Li Jiansheng's order to Xu Zhengfang was simple: immediately organize logistical support, issue cotton clothes to the newly joined Red Army soldiers, and if it was not enough, they could use those stripped from the corpses of the enemy; As for the captured enemy's stockpiles of military supplies and baggage supplies, including two divisions of the Gui Army and one division of the Hunan enemy, they must not be used. Because the road to the west is still long, this material must be left as much as possible. Xu Zhengfang responded and went to arrange it.

After Li Jiansheng arranged these, he came to the Xiangjiang River again. The troops of the Red 15th Division were running in an orderly manner through the bridges left behind by the Central Red Army and now repaired by engineering units. The second and third bridges were soon repaired by the engineering units. The field hospitals, weapons research and development institutes, and other logistical baggage units of the Red Third Front Army first crossed the river through these two bridges. As for the Red Eighteenth 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, and the headquarters of the Red 5th Division on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, under the leadership of the division commander Niu Dali, waded across the river with the Red 3rd Division, and then joined the Red 5th Division political commissar Bai Kaishan 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 Red Third Front Army.

Li Jiansheng felt very strange, because he had never seen the enemy's plane from beginning to end. Later, when I thought about it, I wondered that the enemy, you must know that the Red Third Front Army ate two divisions of the Gui Army and one division of the Hunan Army in one go, and now they are afraid that they will suspend and rest. Later, I thought about it again, and now it's almost night, and it makes sense that this plane doesn't come. On second thought, if you don't come today, it doesn't mean you won't come tomorrow. I can't say that the whole army must cross the river tonight.
