march to victory

"Baoyu, you said just now that the comrades of the assault company should have all crawled into the county seat through this secret passage, right?"

After the questioning, the three of them had just walked back, and before they could thank Zhou Bingzhong, Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked Zhou Baoyu seriously.

"They sent a squad of fighters an hour and a half ago, and began to climb in along the secret passage. It's been so long, so, I think...should..."

"You think? Should?" Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhou Baoyu solemnly, and there was a bit of reproach in his tone: "How can war be a joke? It is proved by facts, not by your imagination."

Tian Guozhong on the side was about to persuade, but he suddenly understood: No wonder Zhang Qingshan was so angry. The difference between a squad and a company of soldiers who climbed into the city is definitely not just a simple difference in numbers. It reflects the combat effectiveness, influence on tactics, and so on.And the key point of all this is: the secret passage is narrow and long, ordinary strong men don't even think about climbing in this secret passage, and only a lean body like Zhou Bingzhong can freely enter and exit the secret passage.However, the standard of living of the Assault Company was very good, almost all of them were strong men, so how could they all climb in?If you only climb into one squad, it is worth thinking about it: Although the fighters in this squad are all carefully selected fighters, the number is too small. Opportunity and time to put explosives at the gate of the blocked city is really hard to say, let alone whether they can survive... If there is a company, then there is enough time to compete with the enemy, especially When hitting the enemy by surprise.Even if the enemy finds out halfway and exchanges fire, you can rely on the strength of the assault company to forcefully break through to the destination. Not only can you ensure that you have enough time to blow up the city gate, but you can also protect yourself until our side rushes in from the blown hole. In the city...the gap between a squad and a company is absolutely huge.

However, Zhou Baoyu turned a squad of soldiers into a company just by guessing, which would cause misjudgments for Zhang Qingshan and others, and thus make wrong deployments, and may even affect the overall situation... at least it can The time to affect the breach of the county is extended.The extension means that more comrades will be killed or injured, and these are all avoidable, but they are likely to appear because of Zhou Baoyu's seemingly insignificant guesswork.

That's why Zhang Qingshan was so angry.

Thinking of this, Tian Guozhong just wanted to persuade, but shut up... Everyone knows the relationship between Zhou Baoyu and Zhang Qingshan, but Zhou Baoyu is indeed a little too much, or a little too proud, so arrogant that he can even make his own decisions Guess, if I teach myself a lesson, I will still have it in the future?So, he didn't bother to persuade.

"After going back, I will be confined for a week, write a [-]-word self-criticism, and make a self-criticism report at the group meeting..."

Looking at Zhang Qingshan with stern eyes, Zhou Baoyu didn't dare to say a word and lowered his head.

"Not for anything else, but because you are also an old Red Army. Why can't you even do the most basic seeking truth from facts? Who gave you the power to make you act so recklessly that you don't even bother to do military investigations, so you rely on imagination And speculation, are you planning to let the soldiers of the whole regiment die because of your imagination and guesswork... Write me a serious review later. If the writing is not serious and profound, you, the communications platoon leader, don’t need it done."

"Yes!"

"Now, go back and do your job well. If you dare to act like this again, I will shoot you myself."

"Oh!"

Watching Zhou Baoyu bow his head and leave, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth to Tian Guozhong, and wanted to ask, "Old Tian, ​​am I being too indulgent with Baoyu?", but suddenly thought that there are outsiders around, this kind of family ugliness, it is better not to be in front of outsiders It's a good point - Zhang Qingshan still has a good face.

"Are you Zhou Bingzhong?"

Previously, that Zhou Baoyu was obviously very famous in this army, and people greeted him everywhere he went, and they were extremely polite, but he was scolded by Zhang Qingshan, and he didn’t even dare to say a word to you... Put this Zhou Bingzhong, who saw the scenes in his eyes, was particularly impressed with Zhang Qingshan.I feel that this is the prestige that a military officer should have. Moreover, such an officer must not be easy to provoke, and it is not something that a commoner like myself can afford to provoke... An officer with thousands of troops in his hand, according to the ancient division, absolutely It's a general!Thinking of this, I will naturally have some respect for the other party in my heart, not to mention that he is so fierce, so you must be careful, otherwise, if something makes him unhappy, he only needs to say a word, and his life will be destroyed. No, the family has no place to sue even if they want to sue - these days, a common man dies as soon as he dies, and if he wants to sue a general, he can only seek his own death.At least, what he saw and heard made him have such a cognition.

Now when he heard Zhang Qingshan questioning with a smile, he quickly replied: "Report sir, I am Zhou Bingzhong."

Very honest and sincere.

Zhang Qingshan did not expect that the scene of criticizing Zhou Baoyu just now would leave such a 'sinister' impression on Zhou Bingzhong. He felt very surprised that Zhou Bingzhong was so nervous, even his nervous body was trembling slightly: How could it be like this?

"My fellow, don't be so nervous... Come on, have a cigarette."

cigarette!Sure enough, it is something that shortens the distance between each other.

Toast, after lighting the cigarette, Zhou Bingzhong obviously got used to it, at least, his body stopped shaking.

"You are older than me, you can call me Xiao Zhang, or Zhang Qingshan, or Captain Zhang, I will call you Lao Zhou..."

"Sir, don't dare, absolutely dare not, if you want to call me that, wouldn't it be..."

"It's okay." Zhang Qingshan was a little angry and anxious, so he was even more eager to know everything, so he interrupted Zhou Bingzhong: "Old Zhou, do you know that the assault company... was sent in through the secret passage earlier?" Among the group of people, how many people went in?"

On the side, Tian Guozhong also called out the two soldiers of the assault company who came to protect Zhou Bingzhong, and asked the same question.

"I know, sir... No! Commander Zhang, I know, seven people went in."

"Oh~! Old Zhou, how do you know?"

"Leader, because I personally selected them at the time, all of them are about as thin as me, and others are too strong to climb in."

There were more than 100 people, and only seven lean ones were selected. It can be seen that the food of the assault company is really good.Of course, their exploits and the danger of their missions are worthy of such special treatment.

"Old Zhou, how many explosives did you see these seven people bring in?"

"Dynamite package? Commander, do you mean the big package they are carrying?"

"Yes! That's the dynamite pack."

"They went back and forth twice and brought in a total of fourteen explosive packages."

After chatting with Zhou Bingzhong for a while, Zhang Qingshan asked after Zhou Bingzhong relaxed, "Old Zhou, your family's ancestors have lived in the county town for generations. Do you think so many explosives can blow open the blocked city gate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan felt that he had made a mistake: the other party was not a soldier, and he didn't understand the power of explosives, so naturally he couldn't judge whether he could blow up the blocked city gate.Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to ask him that?

Before Zhang Qingshan could explain, Zhou Bingzhong said with a wry smile: "Commander, I don't understand the power of explosives, so I can't judge it at all..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Bingzhong looked at Zhang Qingshan and said: "However, as far as I know, the city wall of the county is very strong, and it is absolutely difficult to blow it up."

"why?"

"Because whether it is repairing the city wall or renovating the city wall, they are all made of big stones, which are very strong. When a cannon hits it, it will only blow out a small groove the size of a bowl. As you can imagine, so If you want to explode the solid city wall, it will be very difficult."

I chatted with Zhou Bingzhong for a while, and asked someone to take him and the two soldiers down to eat something and rest.

Zhang Qingshan checked the content of the inquiry with Tian Guozhong, and sure enough, only seven people entered... It wasn't that he was worried about the two soldiers of the assault company, but, first of all, Zhou Baoyu's guess just now made people feel uncomfortable. Both of them felt a little uncomfortable, so they had to ask clearly; secondly, it was the first time Zhou Bingzhong had seen him, so asking them separately would be more sure of the authenticity of what he said.

Once the number of people is small, all kinds of troubles will come, especially in terms of the risk factor, which will definitely increase exponentially: since the city wall is so strong, if you want to blow up a section of the city wall, the number of explosives must not be too small, otherwise there will be no If it doesn't blow up, it will lose the meaning of these seven people entering the city, and more importantly, it will have a huge impact on the attack method and effect... It is conceivable that since the little devil suddenly made such a series of Deployment, the vigilance and patrolling will inevitably be strengthened tonight, and the danger of these seven people being discovered will inevitably increase.If the whole company goes in, then there is nothing to say, with the strength of the assault company, as long as they enter the county, there will be no big problem in completing the task.But the team formed by these seven people is too weak, and each person carries two explosive packs, which will inevitably affect the speed and combat capability. Once discovered, the possibility of annihilation of the entire army is very high.

Besides, even if they risked their lives and rushed to the destination, it would be considered lucky to have one or two left, but at this time, the number of explosive packs is insufficient, and it is hard to say whether they can blow up the city gate.

And once the city gate is not blown open, then the subsequent battle plan will inevitably be greatly affected. At least, the extended time for breaking the city and the greater casualty rate can be expected... This is the result of point to point.

Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong are both smart people, facing such an unexpected situation, it is difficult to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

Just when the two of them were thinking hard and couldn't find it, they didn't expect that Zhou Bingzhong went and relapsed.

As soon as he saw Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong, he looked solemn, his eyes were a little red, and he asked with a bit of grief and indignation: "Commander, you asked me those words just now, I just thought about it carefully... why did you blow up the Annoyed by the city wall?"
