Zhang Xuran, regardless of his anxious tone, said, "There is a map of a river in front called the Crees River. Because of the heavy rain, the river is now rising at a very fast speed, and it is no longer possible to cross the river where it was originally planned."
We explored a place along the river-near Charuto, there is a bridge to cross the river, and Charuto is the place where the Second German Regiment has been unable to attack for a long time. The Anglo-French Coalition forces have not completely withdrawn, and there are about three infantry divisions. "
"According to the map, there is also a bridge passing through this place called Argentong, but it is at least 30 kilometers from where we are now. We have to go around for a long time. I have ordered the brothers of the reconnaissance battalion to inquire about the situation there and will return soon!" Zhang Xu said.
"This damn weather!" After listening to Zhang Xu’s report, Zhang Yiping stayed for a while before scolding him, and then his heart straightened up and walked back and forth in the room
There is nothing to blame for the weather being an uncontrollable factor.
There are two options before him. One is to forcibly grab the bridge and cross the river by Charuto. However, if there are nearly 30,000 people in an infantry division of the 12th Division, it will definitely disturb the defenders there. Although he is confident that the 12th Division can defeat the defenders of Charuto, Sharuto is not the target of this military operation. His goal is Bourges, 50 kilometers northeast of Charuto. If the defenders of Charuto are alarmed, the Americans will certainly take precautions, which will affect the whole war situation.
The second option is to go around 30 kilometers, but if the distance is at least twice as long, it may come.
Because the general attack was early the day after tomorrow, the 12 th division had to occupy Bourges before the general attack or destroy local traffic to cut off the retreat of the American army
In addition, there may be a battle in Bourges. If we go around such a long way, the soldiers will be very tired. This battle may be very difficult. This is not what Zhang Yiping hopes.
"If let me choose the two places are not desirable! But if I have to choose one of them … "Zhang Yiping stopped here and caressed Pakistan and turned several times on the spot. Zhang Xu and Shan Yousheng looked at him eagerly and hoped that he would make a decision.
"But two is a dead end, don’t we have to rush? I think we still have to find a way to find a third way! " Zhang Yiping said, "Reconnaissance battalion, look along the river again to see where there is a place to cross the river. France is a developed capitalist country with four access roads. It is impossible for such a long river to have no bridges. Our requirements are not high, but trains and cars can pass people and donkeys and horses …"
Zhang Xu promised to rush out in the rain, and Zhang Yiping looked at each other. Zhang Yiping said, "Generally, at this critical moment, the superiority of the people will be brought into play. Unfortunately, this is France, and the people here are unlikely to help us!"
Shan Yousheng asked, "7 Do you mean looking for a local French guide?"
Zhang Yiping nodded and said, "I brought a French guide when I was with Nan Ange, the 16th Division, and there has never been such a problem all the way."
"Then why not take it this time?" Shan you sheng Wen
"It’s a female guide … and …"
Shan Yousheng nodded and said, "Sometimes women are also very troublesome, but it is undeniable that it is also very convenient when it comes!" Especially now, if this female guide returns, she will definitely find a bridge across the river for us. "
"if there is a French socialist party here, maybe we can get their help!" The mountain has Masu Nozomi and Zhang Yiping said.
Everyone knows that Zhang Yiping and the president of the French Socialist Party are very close. It is not surprising for Zhang Yiping to get help from the French Socialist Party.
"The French Socialist Party didn’t take the road of encircling the city from the countryside. They didn’t organize the development of the countryside in major cities. Besides, this time they kept it a secret and didn’t say hello to the socialists!" Zhang Yiping said, "Don’t count on the socialists, and I always think they are not reliable."
After a while, "Do you have any francs?" Zhang Yiping suddenly raised her hand to the mountain and asked.
"There are a dozen!" Shan Yousheng took the money out of his pocket. "What do you want with francs?"
"Faith is nothing like money!" Zhang Yiping said, "This is a rural area. Although there is no society-society-principle-righteousness, there must be money worship. So-called" four rewards make a brave man. "Ask a brother if he has some francs, and I will borrow them and return them. I want these francs to buy a road from the French people."
Shan Yousheng’s eyes lit up and he quickly went out. In a short time, he came back with a handful of colorful banknotes in his hand and said, "There are about 500 francs here. Besides, I think the family at the village entrance is an old couple who are very loving. I think it is more reliable to ask them for information."
"Do you want to use kindness and coercion?" Zhang Yiping asked.
"Your old man often says that it’s safer to have a hostage if it’s not my race!" Shan yousheng said with a smile
Zhang Yiping put his own money into the hand of Shan Yousheng and said, "It seems that I won’t do it at all. Come on, it’s up to you. At most, I’ll act as your translator!"
"That would be disrespectful!" Shan Yousheng took the money and said, "I’ll do these things. There are also several staff officers in the army who are learning French. They should also be let out to exercise. Otherwise, how can they learn French? You’d better not show up because of your sensitive identity. "
Zhang Yiping was happy to rest, but his bed narrowed for less than two hours. Shi Xiaochuan came to wake him up and told him that he had found a place to cross the river, but the French old man said that it was best to cross the river now, because according to past experience, the river might rise again in the middle of the night, and it might not be able to pass again.
Zhang Yiping got out of bed, braved the rain and came to the river to see that the troops had crossed the river. In the dark, it was faintly visible that the bridge was dark, and a crowd moved slowly to the front, but it was very quiet without making a sound.
The river is not wide, it is less than 100 meters, but the river is turbulent and the waves keep beating against the bridge and overflow from the bridge deck.
A dozen torches were lit on each side of the river bank to barely illuminate the bridge deck.
The mountain rose to the bridge head and greeted Zhang Yiping in the rain. He said, "This cement bridge has been flooded for a long time, but we dug a section of riverbank to drain the river by half, and the bridge has surfaced again. If people don’t really know that there is such a bridge here, it seems that it is correct to rely on the views of the people."
Shan Yousheng suddenly felt a little ironic when he said this. He ended up with the team so as not to expose the whereabouts of the 12 th Division. He killed many people, but here he praised the people
When the troops cross the river and keep it a secret, he may have to bring help to the 12 th division, and the people will shut up again!
This is a solid cement bridge with protected piers. Although the river is constantly rushing over the instep, the road is very safe.

Chapter 351 The Battle of Orleans (37)
When the teacher crossed the river, the sky was shining slightly, and the mountains were rising. He took out a handful of money from his pocket and handed it to the greedy French old man to lead the last group of people across the river. When he turned around, the river had slowly overflowed the bridge deck. There were several inconspicuous vortex roots on the river surface caused by piers, and there were a bunch of bridges on the river surface.
The mountain rose to the other side, and the French old man waved and turned away. He thought twice and finally released this to the 12 th Division, which was of great help to the French old man. He no longer took secret measures.
Shan Yousheng is not a cruel lover, but Europe and France, a foreign land, are surrounded by millions of elite troops of great powers, and he has to take some drastic and cruel measures, otherwise the hostile and exclusive land of China League will be hard to live.
Now the 12th Division has gone deep into enemy-occupied areas. Although the British-French-American coalition forces are not everywhere, it is an important logistics area behind the coalition forces. Almost every town has a coalition patrol, and the 12th Division is a force of nearly 30,000 people. It is only a matter of time before its whereabouts are exposed. At this time, secrecy is not as important as before.
Crossing the river, the traffic around here is accessible, and it is also a dense area of the town. Often, the village is next to the village or this town can be seen with the naked eye, and it is impossible for every town and village to control it as before.
The 12th Division pulled the hooded helmet to dress up, and the horse became exactly like the British army. The American army also adopted the British farmer’s helmet. There are some differences in skin color and body shape among China people.
However, it was very rainy and foggy all the way, and it was hard to tell whether it was yellow or white. Plus, 12 divisions deliberately bypassed towns and busy roads, and towns and sentries along the way were normal transfers of British troops or American troops. No one doubted that they had not been exposed until noon.
At noon, as they approached their destination, their luck came to an end.
There happened to be a dilapidated house on the side of the road, and the security guards put a raincoat on the leaking roof and hid it with Zhang Yiping and Shanyousheng.
"This damn weather!" Shan Yousheng frowned and said, "Brothers rested for an hour last night, but they haven’t rested yet. There are people everywhere. It’s really difficult to find a place where there is no rain leakage."
The mountain has a semi-wet map, and it took a while to point to the map. "Our position should be about 15 kilometers from here to the destination. At this rate, we will be able to arrive before evening. Will the horse attack after arrival? Or wait until after midnight to attack? If that enemy has not discover our identity. "
"If the horse attacks and occupies the town, our soldiers can change clothes and drink hot soup to prevent colds, but this means that the enemy may have enough time to organize a counterattack."
"If we attack after midnight, I’m afraid brothers will have a lot of colds if they stay in the wet field in the middle of the night." Shan Yousheng shook his head. "This hateful flu virus … is really disgusting."
"Of course, the sooner the better!" Zhang Yiping did not hesitate to say that "the flu virus is more threatening and terrible than the US military". Just then, he suddenly felt a little itchy in his nose as if he wanted to sneeze. He quickly took a deep breath and adjusted his breath according to the breathing method in Gun King Tong to suppress the urge to sneeze.
At this moment, a gun came from the front. Although the heavy rain outside spouted a lot of rain and fog, the gun was still very crisp and far away.
Zhang Yiping and Shan Yousheng both looked up in surprise and looked out together, but it was white outside in the rain and fog.
The gun kept going off with an explosion, which sounded very intense.
Shan Yousheng was so anxious that he shouted, "What’s going on? Find out what’s going on quickly. Where will the fighting happen and what will it happen?"
Zhang Yiping is unhurried ordered "call each head horse Zhang Dahei? The horse asked him to come back! "
"Don’t be lucky. We are lucky that we haven’t been forced to find out yet. Lucky God can’t always take care of you. There was a battle in front of us, and it was discovered by the enemy." Zhang Yiping said.
It has been reported that a reconnaissance company and an enemy patrol met in a firefight, but the enemy patrol has been wiped out.
Then Zhang Chang galloped back from horseback, looking a little nervous and a little excited. Zhang Yiping shouted to him, "Don’t say a word!"
