march to victory

"In the beginning, the devil's artillery fire was really powerful. Not only was it accurate, but it was also flexible in distribution... I was taken aback at the time, thinking that the little devil would concentrate all his troops to fight us hard for the first time, but waited for the artillery fire. After stopping, I saw that there were a hundred or so little devils, and I laughed when they were charged by the little devils..."

The perspective of the commander is different from that of ordinary soldiers: ordinary soldiers only know that the little devil's artillery is powerful, but they can't say anything else.But a veteran commander like Peng Peng, who is full of surprises, can hear the approximate distance of the impact point from the distance of the shell explosion, and then discern the flexibility of the shell from the impact point of the shell.

"...It gave me the feeling that the little devil drove the second devils to die in order to investigate our strength and deployment. I also made corresponding adjustments in time... However, the little devil didn't take much action at all. From a point of view, I think that the real battle between us and the little devils will begin when the devil reinforcements arrive."

As soon as the words fell, before Zhang Qingshan could open his mouth, he saw a communication soldier rushing in to report that on the road about four miles away from Pigeon Mountain, there was a group of little devils with thousands of horses driving towards this side quickly.

Zhang Qingshan's heart immediately became aroused: The emergence of this group of little devils has been made clear from Zhao Er's massacre of the village.But the problem is, from Zhao Er's mouth at that time, he thought there were only six or seven hundred devils, who knew it was thousands of people, and when the number of people increased, some things had to be adjusted.

Also before Zhang Qingshan could speak, Tian Guozhong opened his mouth and asked, "How is their equipment? Do they have heavy weapons?"

"Our outermost guard sentries dare not approach them. They just observed through visual inspection that they don't have heavy fire weapons such as mountain cannons, but they have a lot of machine guns and small steel cannons."

Machine guns and small steel cannons are heavy weapons that are easy to carry. Devils have powerful weapons, so it is normal to carry them.And there are no heavy fire weapons such as mountain cannons, so everyone is relieved: in the fortifications built on Qinglong Mountain, considering the terrain, the mountain trails are not conducive to the enemy's transport of heavy guys like mountain cannons, so , the biggest weapon to defend is the small steel cannon.In other words, as far as the current fortifications of Qinglong Mountain are concerned, they cannot prevent the attack of heavy fire weapons such as mountain cannons.

"Old Zhang, I think since the opponent has no heavy firepower weapons as we judged before, then we should still fight according to the predetermined tactics."

In war, it is a big taboo to be forced into chaos by external forces.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan nodded, and said to the communications soldier: "Tell comrades, no matter how many little devils come, fight according to the plan in advance, and you must not mess up."

"It seems that the little devil has a lot of ambitions, and he wants to swallow our assault regiment's garrison." After the messenger ran out, Zhang Qingshan sneered and said something to Peng Peng, "Old Peng, you also know the situation." Well, now, the enemy troops on the flanks have increased by several hundred people, and the pressure on the flanks must be greater than what we judged before. Therefore, I cannot add troops to you on your side. Moreover, I must ask you to strictly guard against death , You must not let an enemy come from your line of defense, otherwise, our side will be meaningless. Do you understand?"

Peng Peng nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If there is no one, there will be no one, but you should give me more ammunition, otherwise, I won't be able to hold on."

"Row!"

Immediately, Peng Peng saluted Zhang Qingshan, shook hands with Zhang Qingshan, said "Take care", turned around and took people to the arsenal... War is so cruel, no matter how high your position is or how powerful you are , a bullet can also kill you.

Zhang Qingshan turned around and said to Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong: "Old Hu, Lao Tian, ​​it's up to you two here, I'll go to the flank to have a look, otherwise, I really don't feel relieved."

Knowing that now is not the time to say that the leader should not take risks, and Zhang Qingshan has always been relatively strong in this regard, Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong looked at each other and nodded.Hu Yingze also said: "Old Zhang, anyway, the villagers and support personnel have basically withdrawn, and the command post will not need many people. You might as well bring the guard platoon with you."

"Thank you." Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "However, it's not the time yet. When the time comes, I will send someone to ask you for someone."

When he got to the door, Zhang Qingshan turned to Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong and said: "Old Hu, Lao Tian, ​​the situation is not very clear now, I don't know if the little devil has other plans, so I will leave Silian behind. It’s tight over there, so we can give them priority. Our side will still follow the original plan, and we will retreat if we can’t stand it, and the people on the periphery will be reduced to zero.”

Hearing what he said, the two had nothing to say but agreed.

In the entire tactical arrangement: the fourth battalion and the first company are responsible for the defense of the south (front) of Qinglong Mountain.

The second company is responsible for the defense of the northeast (right side) of Qinglong Mountain. It can be regarded as the first line of defense, and it also forms a corner with Qinglong Mountain.However, in order to prevent the enemy from encircling Pigeon Mountain, Zhang Qingshan also specially ordered the Second Company to defend if they could hold it, and retreat depending on the situation if they couldn't hold it.After retreating, if the enemy pursues them, try to detour to lure the enemy into the virgin forest.If the enemy does not pursue and instead attacks the right wing of Qinglong Mountain, he must harass the enemy from behind.

Sanlian was in charge of the three or four mile-long trail between Pigeon Mountain and Qinglong Mountain regiment headquarters, and the fortifications along the way could only protect against small steel cannons, but not heavy fire weapons such as mountain cannons, so, Tian Guozhong was so eager to know whether this group of little devils carried mountain cannons.The task of the third company is also flexible and changeable: first try to defend as much as possible, and if you can't hold it, you will retreat to the headquarters in an orderly manner.Then withdrew to the primeval forest as planned, and finally cooperated with the Fourth Battalion at the edge of the primeval forest to block the devils step by step.

The fourth company is currently a reserve team and is busy preparing explosives—once the first or third company can't defend and needs to retreat, they have to blow up the ammunition depot, the gate of the grain depot and the earth around them.Anyway, there is plenty of time to dig it out afterwards, but the little devil definitely doesn't have that much time to dig these two artificially dug deep holes.What's more, if they can't hold it, at that time, the fourth company will have to cover the retreat of their comrades and block the main force of the devils' pursuit... Of course, in terms of tactical arrangements, if they can lead the main force of the devils into the virgin forest, it will be perfect.

However, they also separated a platoon to guard the cliff on the right side of Qinglong Mountain, in order to prevent any enemy from climbing up from there and attacking the regiment headquarters.

The sniper platoon with a total of three squads is a force that should not be underestimated in this battle. For their use, Zhang Qingshan is almost as precious as a person.In general, the first squad of the sniper platoon was temporarily assigned to the third company, responsible for cooperating with the commander, machine gunner, and artillery observer of the third company to snipe the enemy.The second squad has the largest range of activities and is also the most free. They don't have specific tasks, they just work in groups of two, ambush all over the battlefield, and they can do whatever they like, but after hearing the signal to retreat, they must go to the virgin forest to support ——That's where the greatest value of a sniper is manifested.The third squad is setting up in the primeval forest, mainly to prepare various precautions in advance for the little devils who may chase near the edge of the primeval forest, such as traps, secret places, etc.

The guard company is similar to the fourth company, and its main responsibility is naturally to protect the regiment headquarters.However, they also separated a platoon to cooperate with the propaganda team to provide armed protection for the villagers and logistics personnel who entered the virgin forest ahead of time and hid in the hideout built earlier.At the same time, this platoon must also share part of the task of guarding the depths of the primeval forest.

It seems that everything is arranged in an orderly manner, with more than enough advances and retreats.

But it is still the old saying that "the plan is perfect, but the reality is skinny", whether the devils will fight according to Zhang Qingshan's tactical arrangement, and whether they will be led by the nose by Zhang Qingshan, only God knows.

You must know that the devils not only have strong individual quality and close cooperation, but also their commanders are definitely not bad in tactical arrangements. Most of them are graduates of regular military universities... as later generations commented "small" Devils are excellent students in tactics, but they haven't even graduated from elementary school in strategy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

As soon as he got out of the gate of the headquarters, he heard an explosion coming from the direction of Pigeon Mountain. Zhang Qingshan subconsciously stopped and stopped to look in the direction of Pigeon Mountain. However, due to the angle, he couldn't see it, which made him frown involuntarily. , took the new guard Sun Bingcheng and hurried over there.

After he ran out of breath for more than a mile, he was finally able to see the situation of Pigeon Hill from the height, and he couldn't help frowning again: there were scenes of shell explosions everywhere on Pigeon Hill.

Although with the help of the assault group, three fortifications have been built on Pigeon Mountain, but in the face of such intensive artillery attacks, who can guarantee that the fortifications they built can withstand it?

What is particularly worrying is that Li Jing's gang of bandits were originally on Pigeon Mountain. They have never experienced such a degree of baptism of war, especially such intensive artillery attacks. God knows if they can withstand it at this time?Will they use the habit of bandits, see the little devil's cannon fire so sharply, and feel that the limelight is not right, and immediately scatter?

Fortunately, the Erlian was dispatched ahead of time. Now, Zhang Qingshan can only pin all his hopes on Erlian... Even if he really couldn't bear it and wanted to retreat, Zhang Qingshan also hoped that they would be organized and orderly Instead of swarming away like the bandits.That would not only make Pigeon Mountain lose its meaning as a horn, but it would even become difficult to harass the devils from behind... Zhang Qingshan absolutely did not believe that there were no traitors among these little devils.Otherwise, without the traitor leading the way, could these young nobles have successfully arrived at the front of Pigeon Mountain?I'm afraid that the cobweb-like path alone can make them get lost.

He took the binoculars from the guard Xiao Sun and looked carefully for a minute or two. Seeing that the devils were only shelling and not in a hurry to send infantry to attack, he knew that the enemy commander was definitely an experienced man. It can be said that, I have met an opponent: with the arrogance of a little devil, with a strong front and a strong army, and he feels that the army is overwhelming, he is so cautious at this time, it explains everything.

After the shelling, you can see how the little devil does it, and you can see his tactical arrangement, so as to deduce his next step.But now anyway, I can't see it for a while, so I might as well go to the front line to see it.
