march to victory

Sanqiao County is the oldest ancient city wall among the surrounding counties.

According to its county chronicles, Sanqiao County was built in the early Yuan Dynasty. Although it has undergone several wars and earth-shaking changes, the city wall has always given the people in the city a sense of security.It was built and destroyed, and the building was destroyed. The most recent city wall reconstruction had to be traced back to more than 80 years ago after the siege of the city by bandits.

However, no matter how ancient the city wall is, it cannot withstand the attack of modern weapons.

At this moment, the thick and tall city walls have long been riddled with holes from modern weapons, especially the southern city wall. Not only were the entire runway of the city wall bombed with potholes, but there was even a large hole 30 to [-] meters wide. The entire city wall looks like a drain suddenly appeared in a sink, which is extremely uncoordinated.

Compared with the situation in the county town, the tragic situation on the city wall is simply nothing.

There are ruins and ruins, and there are no tiles to stand on, and there are tragic scenes of destruction by modern weapons everywhere.

Especially in the central area of ​​the city, which is also the battle area that the two sides are fighting for. Not to mention that there is no intact building, it is difficult to find a intact room.Especially on Xiama Street, the tall houses on both sides can't find any traces of the original buildings at all-either they were directly bombed or buried by rubble and bricks.

In the entire county, apart from the sound of guns and shouts of killing, it is difficult to hear any strange sounds, including crying, because everyone has no time or mood to cry.On the contrary, singing can still be heard occasionally, but this is also a song with some content.For example, if it is an impassioned singing, it will make people cry, because it often means that another small team is coming to an end, because only at the last moment, there are only a few people left on the battlefield, and these few people If they don't want to be prisoners and don't want to retreat, then they will often sing songs while pulling the grenade, and die with the enemies who rushed up-these songs are sung by the assault group most.

And if there are some hometown songs, it means that the soldiers miss their hometown in the dead of night-this kind of songs are sung by little devils the most.

However, fortunately, because of the early publicity and mobilization of the assault regiment, all the people in the entire county were moved to the hinterland of the base to avoid the flames of war. Therefore, only soldiers remained in the entire county.Therefore, we can only be thankful that there are no casualties among the common people—houses can be rebuilt if they are gone, land can be taken back if they are gone, institutions can be reorganized if they are gone, but if people are gone, then there is really nothing left.Especially for the Eighth Route Army, which relies on the support of the people, the people are like water, and the Eighth Route Army is like fish. If the water is gone, can the fish survive?But on the other hand, if the water is still there, the fish will definitely be able to survive. No matter how much the fish is injured or how small it is, as long as the water supports it, it will definitely be able to grow again.

It was better during the day, at least, everyone was fighting openly with swords and guns, and even if they wanted to sneak attack, they couldn't escape the other side's open and secret posts. Therefore, both sides almost gave up the plan of sneak attack at the same time, and instead confronted with dignity.

Among them, one important reason is the sharp reduction of alleys, which limits the range of activities and flexibility of the assault group.

From a certain point of view, the little devil was often attacked by the assault regiment with small elite troops in the cobweb-like alleys, and suffered a lot of losses. In addition, the little devil could see that even if they occupied the main part of the county, But as long as these small alleys are still there, they will never be able to occupy the entire county, and will always be in a passive defensive position. Therefore, the little devil also made great efforts. Several troops said all the way, destroying all the buildings within tens of meters on both sides , in order to prevent the assault group from being able to walk through the alleys as before.

And in this way, to a certain extent, the assault group's area of ​​activity was indeed greatly restricted, forcing the assault group to confront the little devil head-on, and thus being squeezed bit by bit by the little devil with its superior strength and equipment The combat space of the assault group eventually forced the assault group to take the initiative to withdraw from the county... To be honest, positional warfare is really not the strong point of the assault group, and the county is so big, thousands of people are crowded inside, if there are no many small alleys With the help of geographical help, if you confront it head-on, it's like being in a specific small area with limited space for activities, and you don't have any advantages in tactics and other aspects at all, but the enemy has obvious advantages in all aspects. It can only be passively beaten, and in the end, in order to survive, it can only give up this area.To put it bluntly, the exercise space is squeezed too small, and you can only be forced to be led by the nose by the enemy and have to fight.

It is even more worrying at night, when it is truly cruel: positions occupied by the enemy during the day must take advantage of the cover of night and take advantage of the excellent opportunity when the enemy's superior firepower cannot be effectively used to regain the position.Or it is a position that cannot be conquered during the day, and it must be captured under the cover of night and the opportunity of the enemy's rest... In this way, regardless of the enemy or ourselves, it is often a daytime positional battle, and at night there must be twelve battles. Concentrate on preventing the enemy's sneak attack, or go to sneak attack the enemy's position.In this way, when fighting during the day, it is even more necessary to cheer up at night. This is not only a contest of weapons, but also a contest of willpower.In the end, both sides are extremely exhausted, but they have to continue to grit their teeth and keep going. It depends on who can last until the end—this kind of tormenting contest is a test for the body, and even more so for the spirit. A kind of torture, but I have to continue to suffer, everything, just for the ultimate——victory.

So much so that at the end of the development, both sides adopted a very tangled, but admirable tactic: during the day, let a small number of troops stand in front, and most of them rest in the back. On the contrary, most of the people stood in front, their eyes opened as big as copper bells, and a small number of people rested behind.

Counting from the day when the little devil came to Sanqiao County, it has been more than seven days. That is to say, the assault group has completed the task explained above - it must hold the little devil for seven days in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas. .You can retreat anytime.

For the members of the assault regiment, this is no different from a life-saving medicine, because in this way, the members of the assault regiment can retreat at any time, which is equivalent to grasping the initiative of the war in this regard.

However, with the pride of the commando group, how could it be possible to leave after completing the basic tasks?After long-term training and actual combat, the proud personality has penetrated into the depths of the hearts of every soldier of the assault regiment. Therefore, from every wounded person to Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze, everyone agrees: In this battle, our assault regiment suffered so many casualties. It is so big, and you have paid so much, how can you complete the task and leave?It is absolutely necessary to let the little devil pay a heavier price, so that he can be worthy of everyone's contribution, and can have an explanation for the pride in his heart.

In the words of our common people, this is "I can't beat you, but I will bite off a piece of your flesh and blood to let you remember that I am not easy to mess with"-this is the arrogance of the assault group, like a wolf, proud, And iron blood.

Therefore, after completing the task, no one in the whole regiment was thinking about retreating, but they were all single-mindedly thinking about how to give the little devil another ruthless move, so that the little devil would suffer a big loss before he was willing.

To be honest, until now, the assault regiment has suffered heavy casualties, especially the first and fourth battalions have basically been disabled.However, the results they have achieved are very remarkable. In terms of casualty rate alone, the casualty rate for the little devils is definitely lower than theirs.What's more important is to let the little devils know that we Chinese soldiers are not the sick men of East Asia in their eyes, but brave men who dare to fight and die.Of course, this is on a spiritual level.

On the strategic level, several regiments such as the Assault Regiment not only successfully completed the tasks assigned by their superiors, but also forcibly dragged the little devil back, stopped his steps, thwarted his plot to attack the base area, and forced him to be forced Living in Sanqiao County, even if they occupy this empty county now, because of their own casualties and ammunition consumption, they no longer have the ability to take the opportunity to attack the hinterland of the base, forcing the little devils to stop here , can only return in vain in the end.But with his own failure, he abruptly achieved the reputation of the Eighth Route Army.

And now, even though the entire regiment has already fought with the little devil for more than half of the casualties, the assault regiment is still unwilling to leave like this, and still wants to teach the little devil one more time... This is the spirit of the assault regiment: rather die than surrender, The more you fight, the braver you are!

Although the assault group really wanted to fight again like this, the reality was cruel.

Relying on his strength and equipment advantages, the little devil has already gained an absolute advantage in this small county.Especially after blowing up the small alleys along the way and compressing the tactical space of the assault regiment, the little devil's advance speed was significantly faster than before--previously it was because there were no elite small troops against them or their transportation lines. Carrying out sabotage and nuisance seriously slowed down the speed of its attack.Now, the concerns in this regard can be ignored, and the assault regiment is forced to carry out a frontal attack layer by layer, so that the little devil's strength and equipment advantages can be brought into play. Naturally, the assault regiment cannot carry out favorable resistance as before. .

Even, sometimes, the people below want to block the little devil head-on, and Zhang Qingshan will not force them to retreat in the end, because the head-on block, although they can block the little devil for a while, judging from the final result, they still cannot resist the little devil In this way, the meaning of blocking will be lost. It is better to concentrate our forces and kill one point.Besides, doing so can also help preserve the vitality, not only for concentrating troops to fight to the death, but also for saving some fire for the assault group in the future, and saving more strength for continuing to fight against the little devils in the future.

After all, the War of Resistance is not just a single battle, it is a long-term and arduous war, and the future must be considered... Of course, the premise of all this is that the tasks assigned by the superiors have been completed.

But now, three sides of the entire county have been occupied by the little devils, and only the northern city is left in the assault group. If they don't retreat, they can only give it a go.And the little devil also knows this, and wants to take down the entire county in one go.

What's interesting is that both sides want to decide the outcome on this night. What's more coincidental is that this night, in Baoyuan County, the Third Battalion and the others are also going to blow up the little devil's arsenal. It is so important, it determines the outcome and direction.

The moment of truth - it's here!
