march to victory

tonight!

The moon and the stars together form a refreshing and fascinating star map in the sky.

On the ground, the buildings that had been blasted by artillery fire during the day were still not extinguished at this time.

A pile in the east, a little in the west, like the stars in the sky, burning and illuminating the surroundings.Among them, the assault regiment is the most numerous in the northern part of the city, which is still fighting like beasts. This is why the little devil wants to fight tonight, and constantly bombards the northern city area during the day. For this reason, even the little devil's bombers have come twice. trip.

It can be said that in the entire Beicheng area, almost all the buildings suffered from bad luck, and large areas were destroyed.

However, in the entire county, especially in the northern part of the city a little closer to the city wall, there is no light at this time, and everyone depends on the moonlight to see things.Because, at this time, there are a large number of people coming in and out of the city.

The most important thing is to transfer the wounded - the assault regiment suffered heavy casualties, and the lightly wounded were unwilling to go to the line of fire, which led to the fact that only the seriously wounded could lie here.Although some seriously wounded people have been continuously transferred out of the city before, because the little devils suddenly accelerated the speed and strength of the attack after they blew up the streets and alleys along the way, the assault group naturally resisted more tenaciously, which led to the battlefield It was even more tragic, and the number of seriously injured naturally increased sharply.It also increases the difficulty of transporting the seriously injured.

Especially in terms of time, because the little devil planned to speed up suddenly, the assault group was a little unable to adapt for a while, which led to a sharp increase in the transfer work of the seriously wounded, and Zhang Qingshan had to mobilize all the militiamen to serve as stretchers. In addition to helping transport the wounded, all the militia and civilian personnel were also transferred out by the way.Otherwise, relying on the original stretcher team, it is impossible to transfer the original hundreds of seriously wounded and the sudden increase of more than 200 wounded in a short period of time... You must be careful when lifting the seriously wounded, and you must not bump into them casually If you touch the ground, you must know that any carelessness may increase the injuries of the seriously injured, and even lead to their death.

The fourth battalion is responsible for the support and security work outside the city.

This battle was fought really hard, and it was also fought too fiercely.

The first battalion suffered the heaviest loss. They blocked the little devils in front of Xiama Street layer by layer. Although they fought bravely and tenaciously, they also completed the task extremely well. The bombing, the first battalion itself also paid a huge casualty rate: there were 750 people in the whole battalion before they joined the battle. As a result, when they were withdrawn, they counted: 48 people were seriously injured, almost everyone was slightly injured, but there were nearly 500 people sacrificed.

When he saw this casualty rate and looked at the more than 100 people who were injured in front of him, Liu Bing, the first battalion commander who was as proud as the sun, was heartbroken. He knelt on the ground and wailed loudly on the spot. Many soldiers also cried. Even the stretcher team and publicity team members on the side also walked and cried.

The situation of the Fourth Battalion was not much better. Although they did not directly participate in the defense battle of Sanqiao County, but in order to support the defense of Sanqiao County, they fought against the main force of the little devils on Qinglong Mountain. Although they killed and wounded many little devils, They also successfully slowed down the pace of the little devil's army in the middle and completed the set task. However, they paid a casualty rate of more than 400 people for this.When they were ordered to feel that Sanqiao County was outside the county seat, Zhang Qingshan felt sorry for them, so he let them hide outside the city for a rest.

Now, the fourth battalion is responsible for the security work of transporting the seriously wounded.

The casualty rate of these two battalions has already exceeded the concept of more than half of the casualties, and they are already considered disabled.And these two battalions were crippled enough to cancel their numbers, that is to say, more than half of the assault regiment suffered casualties...

The situation in the third battalion is not very good, because you can think of it with your butt. If you want to attack the little devil's military camp in the county, it is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. Needless to say, the casualty rate is enough to give everyone a blessing. Big surprise.

The casualty rate of the militiamen was not high, but they fought very tenaciously, especially among the two hundred militiamen who participated in the blocking battle on Xiama Street, only fifty or sixty survived.From this point, it can be seen that they are not afraid of fighting, but are very heroic in killing the enemy.Of course, it can also be seen from this aspect that whether it is training or actual combat, or the experience of the militiamen, there is indeed a certain gap between them and the regular army.

If the Fifth Battalion hadn't been guarding the retreat route and didn't directly participate in the battle, the Second Battalion had been serving as support to defend the other two city gates. In addition, the Second Battalion had been drawn out of the two cities outside the city to sneak attack on the little devil's temporary barracks. Successful, but kept the two companies.Therefore, it is precisely because of these two battalions that the assault regiment is still able to fight. Otherwise, if these two battalions suffer heavy casualties like those two battalions, the assault regiment can only be forced to retreat voluntarily. And in this battle, there will be no strength to fight, let alone give the little devil another ruthless blow for revenge.

However, whether it is the soldiers of the assault regiment or the militia, even if there is such a heavy casualty rate, even if everyone knows that they can't hold on, but the blood is even more boiling, and they all ask to join the war, fight one battle, fight again A battle!

And Zhang Qingshan and the others were not convinced, or rather unwilling, because they still had an expectation in their hearts: if the Third Battalion succeeds, it will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the little devils, so everyone is likely to take advantage of it. With the little devil's morale fluctuating and the morale plummeting, it's an excellent opportunity to give the little devil a ruthless blow.

There is another reason: because the little devil's sudden acceleration and increased offensive strength caused the assault regiment to be a little caught off guard, which made it too late for the seriously wounded to be transferred. In time, the assault regiment had to defend again, at least until the seriously wounded, civilian personnel, and militiamen were all safely transferred out of the city.

Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone received such an order from Zhang Qingshan: the combatants of the assault regiment will stay, and the rest will be transferred.

Hu Yingze, who has always been stingy in terms of logistics, was also cruel about some "altars and cans" that could not be taken away. Anything that could not be taken away, including food and weapons, must be destroyed on the spot at the gate of the North City before the main force retreats. Not a single bullet is left, but a grain of food for the little devil... Doing this can not only play the role of strengthening the wall and clearing the field, but also use the fire ignited by these things to stop the little devil's pursuit.

Because the little devils continued to bombard the northern area of ​​the city indiscriminately during the day, causing a large number of buildings to be destroyed. Now, Zhang Qingshan and his temporary regiment headquarters are located on the first floor of a three-story building—— The concentration of fronts caused the third floor of the building to be blown up, and a small half of the second floor was exposed. However, the building was made of cement and was very strong. The first floor was relatively safe, and there was no sign of collapse.

But even so, at night, Zhang Qingshan and the others had to cover the windows from the inside with cloth or other coverings to prevent the light from leaking out, which would attract shells or sneak attacks from the little devils.

At this time, the temporary meeting room was filled with smoke, because the surrounding area was covered tightly, resulting in poor air circulation, so the smoke appeared particularly large.Fortunately, all the people here are old smokers, and they don't care about the smoke.On the contrary, everyone has a solemn expression because of the situation on the battlefield. Naturally, they are not in the mood to care about the smoke. On the contrary, they smoke even more.

In the conference room, Zhang Qingshan looked at the hanging military map with his hands behind his back, his eyes sparkling, and he was speechless for a long time.

Hu Yingze is in charge of transporting the wounded and is not here now, but Tian Guozhong, the chief of staff of the regiment, will never be absent at such an important moment.He sat on a chair, but frowned, looking up at the military map.

On the other hand, Xiao Wei and the other five staff members held their breaths. Some of them glanced at Zhang Qingshan or Tian Guozhong from time to time, while others were also staring at the military map.

The atmosphere of the war is fully revealed here.

In fact, the battle plan has been prepared long ago, and it has been distributed long ago.

But everyone knows that when it comes time to implement, how many battle plans can be successfully implemented?All kinds of accidents alone are enough to cause headaches. At most, just hoping that the result can achieve the planned result is enough to make everyone smile. All kinds of 'surprises'.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan like this, Tian Guozhong thought for a while and asked, "Old Zhang, it's not an option to wait like this, why don't I take someone to the Second Battalion to have a look?"

This is the atmosphere before the war, and it is the same for the highest command: everything is ready, now, just wait for the action and then make adjustments according to the actual situation.However, from the deployment to the start of the war, for the highest command, there is really nothing to do but wait for the start of the battle.Of course, I have no intention of doing anything else.

"Cough! Cough!" Zhang Qingshan coughed twice, turned around and found that the meeting room was filled with smoke, coughed twice, and said, "Xiao Wei, open those windows at the back, there is too much smoke in here."

The row of windows at the back faced the north city gate, and was within its own defense zone, so it was much safer.

That's what I said, but after Zhang Qingshan sat down, he put the cigarette butt in his hand on the tea mug to extinguish it, then grabbed the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette, and handed Tian Guozhong one After seeing Tian Guozhong holding up the cigarette in his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, Zhang Qingshan lit another cigarette.

Taking a deep breath, and exhaling the smoke slowly, he said: "Since the plan has been made, I believe they will strictly implement it, and we don't have to go over to supervise...Old Tian, ​​if you really can't sit here, I think you should go to Lao Hu's place to have a look, maybe his place is so busy right now."

"I won't go to Lao Hu's place wherever I go. I don't want to be caught by him."

"It's a good thing to be caught as a strong man, at least, it's much better than sitting here and waiting for the result, isn't it?"

"Then why don't you go?"

"I am the head of the regiment, in charge of the military. Can I leave at a time like this?"

"I'm the chief of staff, and I'm also in charge of the military. Can I be arrested again?"

As they spoke, both of them laughed.

After the two chief officers said this, the originally dignified atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of gunfire outside, but Zhang Qingshan didn't even look there, instead he immediately took out his pocket watch, and the moment he saw the time, Zhang Qingshan frowned... …
