march to victory

Seeing that the two of them hesitated to speak, Tian Guozhong smiled and said: "Just say what you have to say, even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you, on the contrary, if you say something right, it will be credited to you."

Hearing this, Xue Honggui said: "Chief of Staff, I think I still stick to what Xiaofeng analyzed at the beginning. The little devil has successively set up the Lin Family Manor as a temporary ammunition depot and a temporary shelter for wounded soldiers. Then, the little devil is very likely to It will also be set up as a temporary headquarters."

"In addition to the reasons you mentioned earlier, is there any other reason?"

"Have!"

Now, Tian Guozhong was really curious about the reason why Xue Honggui was so confident, because he didn't think of it for a while. He just asked casually just now, but he didn't expect that Xue Honggui really thought of other reasons.

Of course, with Tian Guozhong's city mansion, it is naturally impossible to reveal it. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said, "Tell me!"

"In addition to the emptiness and walls of the Lin Family Manor mentioned earlier, there is another point that suddenly occurred to me when I was observing the little devil's movements by myself just now, that is, the problem of military strength and convenience."

Speaking of this, seeing Tian Guozhong listening confidently, Xue Honggui's confidence and courage grew a lot.

"Although the strength of the little devils is twice that of ours - if you count the guerrillas and militias, the strength of the little devils is almost twice that of the defenders of the assault regiment. But the problem is that they are the attacking side, and we are the defensive One side...and in street fighting, the little devils must attack with more troops than us, otherwise they will lose sight of the other. And in this way, the little devils' troops will not be as sufficient as they seem."

"Anyway, if the little devil wants to turn the Lin family manor into a temporary transfer station and a shelter for the wounded, he will inevitably send some troops to defend the Lin family manor. At the same time, the little devil must set up a temporary headquarters. Judging from the current battle situation and distance From the perspective of the problem, it is of course best for this temporary headquarters to be located in the already occupied county, so as to avoid scheduling problems due to distance problems, especially in terms of time savings. After all, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and the distance between , it is not as strong as commanding nearby. And if the little devil wants to set up the temporary general headquarters in the city, no matter where it is set up, he must send heavy troops to protect it. Then, anyway, if the Lin Family Manor needs to send troops to protect it, the temporary headquarters must also send troops For protection, instead of sending troops to both ends to protect and waste troops, it is better to combine them into one place. In this case, not only saves troops, but also because the conditions of the Lin Family Manor itself and the distance from the battlefield are the most suitable for these three points, so , I think the little devil will eventually set up the temporary headquarters in the Lin Family Manor."

"Good! The analysis is great."

Perhaps Xue Honggui was a little nervous when he said these words, but what he said made sense. As the chief of staff, Tian Guozhong naturally came to his senses when looking at this issue from a military point of view.For a squad leader to have such insight and ability, he is naturally very happy, and will not be stingy to cheer him up.

"Chief of staff, look quickly, the little devil really started to transfer the wounded soldiers to the Lin family manor."

Tian Guozhong picked up the binoculars and saw at a glance that the gate of the Lin Family Manor was wide open, and a large group of little devils were either carrying the wounded or helping the wounded, and they were walking into the Lin Family Manor.And the medical staff in the Lin Family Manor rushed out quickly... Obviously, these wounded should have been elsewhere, but now they were all sent to the Lin Family Manor.It is also convenient for management and protection.

"Okay! Now it has been confirmed that the little devil regards the Lin family manor as a temporary but necessary storage place and a shelter for wounded soldiers. Next, it is necessary to determine whether the little devil will also set up the temporary headquarters here. , I will trouble all comrades present.”

"Chief of staff, don't worry, all the soldiers in our group promise to complete the task, and will send a letter to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible if there is any situation."

"Okay! Then I'll work hard for you. I'll go back to the regiment headquarters first and report the situation here to the regiment headquarters..." Tian Guozhong stood up and cheered everyone up: "I hope everyone will be more careful, and don't be impulsive. Don’t startle the enemy with false alarms... After the war, I will personally ask for credit for all the comrades in your group, and I will definitely invite you to drink. At that time, I hope that all the people present will participate.”

"That's great, thank you Chief of Staff."

Back at the regiment headquarters, Tian Guozhong told the story, Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze were very excited.

But then there were two big problems that gave the three of them a headache.

The first one is, if you want to get rid of the Lin family manor currently occupied by the little devil, you must send troops there.Moreover, we must prepare for the worst, that is to say, we must do a good job of putting the ammunition depot, wounded soldiers shelter and temporary high command in the Lin family manor, and there will be heavy guards at that time Case.And if he wanted to get rid of all the little devils in Lin's manor under such circumstances, he might have to attack the whole assault group.

However, if it is a surprise attack, although the number of troops can be much smaller, a battalion is needed no matter what.

At this time, the assault regiment's strength in Sanqiao County was already stretched due to constant deployment, so where could it temporarily deploy a battalion of troops?Without soldiers, all plans are nothing more than just talking on paper, just think about it.

After some urgent discussions, the three of them unanimously decided to bring back the First Company and the Second Company of the Second Battalion, which had been fighting guerrillas behind the little devil's base camp, from outside the city, and then form a special assault brigade with the Fifth Battalion to kill the people in the Lin Family Manor. Little devil, blow up its ammunition depot.

As for the second battalion's original defense of the east gate, because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the little devil has never attacked the east gate.And five hundred guerrillas plus a platoon from the second battalion have been assigned to the west gate, and the fifth battalion has been drawn out, so the defensive area can only be handed over to the guerrilla brigade to draw half of the troops and a company from the second battalion to jointly defend... There is a certain risk, but the question is, how can there be absolutely safe things in the world, let alone in war, if you don't take some risks, is it still called war?

Besides, the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade originally had 1000 people, but this time 500 people were selected. Although the overall strength is not as good as that of a battalion, it has come out of the flames of war anyway, and with the strong support of the assault group, the other The strength has increased a lot.Moreover, the East Gate itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With these 300 people defending and condescending, even if a little devil wants to take down the East Gate, he will definitely not be able to win it all at once.At that time, if something really happens at the east gate, as long as the guerrilla brigade holds its position for half an hour, the regiment headquarters can still send the guard platoon and the [-] militiamen in reserve, there is absolutely time.

Therefore, this trick seems dangerous, but in fact the risk factor is not as great as everyone imagined.

But the problem is, in this way, another bigger problem arises: the previous plan must be greatly adjusted.This is a big taboo for military strategists to change orders from day to day—everyone knows that changing generals just before the battle is a taboo thing for military strategists, not to mention the more serious change of orders from day to day. One bad move will lead to the possibility of losing everything.

But if it is not changed, this sneak attack plan will not be able to achieve the best results: the original plan itself was designed around the tactics of guerrilla warfare, but now it is necessary to explicitly attack the little devils in the Lin family manor. Rush.Even if they really attack, the little devil will definitely resist desperately while dispatching heavy troops to break the siege, and the assault group must also be prepared to respond, but there is no extra troops, so they can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. So, can it not affect the previous combat deployment?

Such a contradiction naturally caused headaches for the three of them.

The chief of staff, Tian Guozhong, proposed a compromise: other places will remain unchanged for the time being, but the first battalion must stick to it, at least until dark.

In this way, not only can the main force of the little devil be effectively restrained, but at the same time, it can go straight to the original plan of using the night to counterattack.Moreover, it can also be beneficial to use the night to bring the first company and the second company of the second battalion back to the city from the north gate... Among other things, it will take an hour or two just to send people outside the city to send news to the first company and the second company .

It is already more than 46:[-] in the afternoon.In other words, the battle between the two sides has been fought from [-]:[-] in the morning until now, a total of six hours, and the fight will continue until dark before there is a possibility of a temporary truce...Of course, this is only on the bright side Yes, because, according to Zhang Qingshan's original plan, after midnight, all the troops of the assault regiment will take advantage of the night to counterattack, use the cover of night to attack the little devils, and strive to regain the positions lost during the day.After all, in the dark, some of the little devil's firepower advantages, such as cannons, would never be brought into play.

For Tian Guozhong's suggestion, Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze agreed, but just when the three of them were about to discuss this proposal further, they received an air defense alert, and the little devil's plane came to bomb it.

Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong, each holding a light machine gun, strafed the little devil's bomber. Although they did not shoot down the little devil's bomber, they also showed that the three of them were not afraid of death, and their determination to fight to the end. determination.

However, when the little devil bomber finished its bombing and flew away, Zhang Qingshan looked at the little devil bomber in the distance and remained silent for a long time.This made Hu Yingze, who was about to go to the front line to see, feel strange.

But Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and yelled: "Old Tian, ​​your proposal must be changed!"

Tian Guozhong hurriedly followed Zhang Qingshan into the headquarters, and Hu Yingze could only ask others to go to the front line to see the situation for him. After all, this plan is too important, and the bombing has ended. No matter what the result is, it has become a fact. He Going in person can only be said to boost morale... It is clear at a glance which is more important.

The reason why Zhang Qingshan yelled so loudly was not to oppose Tian Guozhong's plan, but to think that the plan was not strong enough, and if it was carried out, it might not achieve the expected results.

Zhang Qingshan decided that since the little devil has already breached the city wall, there is no need for everyone to fight too rigidly and keep a large number of troops at bay, instead of squeezing a little bit from here, pulling a little bit from there, simply, make a big move However, except for the retreat route to the north that must be maintained, the defenders of the other two city gates can pull all of them back and put them on the battlefield under the premise of leaving a small part as a warning.

In this way, not only the tactics are much more flexible, but also the troops they can use are sufficient.But big loopholes will also appear...
