march to victory

"Zhao Shanhe, how are your preparations going?"

At 04:30 in the morning, it is the darkest time of the day before dawn, and it is also the time when people are most asleep.

At this time, in Sanqiao County, the lights were dimmed and there was complete silence. Occasionally, a few dogs could be heard barking, which seemed very clear.

Zhang Qingshan brought the second battalion and the third battalion of the assault regiment to the forest about a mile outside the east gate of Sanqiao County. After joining the assault company, the first thing he said when he saw Zhao Shanhe was to care about them Whether you are ready to blow up the section of the city wall in front of you, after all, is the key to whether you can directly break through the city wall and reduce casualties.

"Head, I've already prepared it, and I'm just waiting for a word from you."

Zhang Qingshan nodded in satisfaction, took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and ordered Zhao Shanhe: "The feint attack is about to start, and the enemy will definitely be awakened by then. Taking advantage of the cover of night, before the enemy has time to find out, send someone to guard At the crossing of Mi Road, wait for the order to blow up this section of the city wall."

"Yes!"

Looking at Zhao Shanhe who soon disappeared into the night, Zhang Qingshan touched his pocket watch with his right hand, but he prayed in his heart that the battle would go smoothly... The general deployment of the battle plan is: while the fourth battalion stays at Qinglong Mountain, send out a company and pigeons The mountain men and horses joined the Tongren County Guerrilla Brigade and attacked Tongren County at five o'clock this morning.Once the county seat was captured, the county seat would be handed over to the county guerrilla brigade for management, and Yilian and Pigeon Mountain troops would set up an ambush on the only road between Tongren County and Sanqiao County in the northeast to stop the little devils who were routed from Sanqiao County.

The combat plan for attacking the county seat of Sanqiao County is: the guerrilla brigade of Sanqiao County draws 50 people, and at 200:300 in the morning, feigns to attack the north gate of the county seat.At the same time, the county guerrilla brigade and [-] people drawn from various militia teams in the county formed a team of [-] people and set up an ambush on the road to the southeast of the county seat to block reinforcements as well as the defeated enemy in Sanqiao County.

At [-]:[-], the first battalion launched a half-truth and half-false feint attack on the west gate of the county seat - it must be done so that the little devils think that they are the main force and are really attacking the county seat, in order to confuse the enemy and disrupt their judgment.

At five o'clock sharp, the assault regiment blew up the eastern section of the county seat (the original plan was to blow up the east gate of the county seat, but it has been slightly revised and changed to the section of the city wall more than 40 meters south of the east gate of the county seat—the secret road is here).Immediately, the second battalion and the third battalion of the Assault Regiment, as the main force of this battle, rushed into the county... to attack from three sides, first false, then half true, half false, and then true. The method, but the first two times were feints, and the last was a thunderous blow.Not for anything else, just to confuse the little devil, so that he can't tell the real direction of the assault group's main attack.

Then, the assault company attacked the north of the little devil's barracks (the back door of the little devil's barracks), and the third battalion attacked the south of the little devil's barracks (the main entrance of the little devil's barracks).The second battalion attacked the Ximen section of the county seat, and joined the first battalion outside the city to contain the enemy... In the end, everyone met at the little devil's barracks.

The time passed by one minute and one second, and soon, it was four thirty.

"beat!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Da da da……"

With an order, there was a sudden burst of gunfire outside the north gate of Sanqiao County, breaking the tranquility of the county in an instant.

The part of the county guerrilla brigade that feinted the attack was small in number, and the sound of rifles was not dense. On the contrary, the sound of the only light machine gun shot was particularly prominent.

What's interesting is that because the enemy blocked the north gate, they only sent a small number of troops to stand guard here. After hearing the gunshots, they immediately became a little flustered. Immediately, a few guys shouted in Chinese, "Assault regiment is here!" Attack us, fight back quickly", the people on the city wall panicked and fought back - it turned out that the guards on this section of the city wall were all the second devils.

However, because of the darkness, the number of people on both sides was small, and there was a sign of tacit understanding in the fight. On the contrary, it seemed that the two sides fought very resolutely and lively: If you don't attack the city, I won't go down the city.Of course, the second devil immediately reported to the little devil and asked for more staff, which would certainly exaggerate the number of attackers at the north gate.

As for the choice between "striking the grass and scaring the snake" and "raiding the snake", there were quite a few disputes in the assault group at that time.

The disadvantage of beating the grass to scare the snake is naturally that it alerts the enemy and cannot achieve the purpose of a surprise attack.

The advantage is that, on the premise of using its own sufficient strength, it can divert the main force of the little devils away, so that the main force of the assault group can attack smoothly.

The advantage of a surprise attack is that it can catch the enemy off guard and achieve the goal of breaking into the county.

The disadvantage is that although a section of the city wall can be blown down smoothly, and thus successfully invaded the county, but, according to the fierce fighting style of the little devil, it is bound to not be like the second devil, once the wall is broken, he will collapse and leave without fighting spirit, that is, It is said that the main force of an assault regiment is bound to form a street fight - among all conventional offensive and defensive battles, street fighting is the most brutal and has the highest casualty rate.

In the end, Zhang Qingshan made a decision and chose the former, because he gave a very firm reason: Can the assault company sneak into the city?able!It can blow up a section of the city wall, and also achieve the goal of breaking into the county... In the end, the assault company naturally chose to be able!Although until now, the assault company hadn't been mixed into the city, but because of the existence of secret passages, it was more suitable to achieve the purpose of blowing up a section of the city wall.Therefore, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no matter how perfect the plan is, it cannot keep up with the changes, and even the most powerful commander cannot match luck.This is why many commanders say: winning a battle is one-quarter strength, one-quarter deployment, and one-half luck.

as predicted!

As soon as the gunshot rang out, there was a noise mixed with Japanese and Chinese in the county seat.

Soon, the originally scarce firelight on the city wall was multiplied by torches, making the city wall extraordinarily bright.Zhang Qingshan and the others could even use their naked eyes to distinguish those little devils and those second devils on the opposite city wall.If you have better eyesight, you can see the barrels protruding from the wall stacks.

Clear four forty!

Just when the defenders on the other three walls were thankful that the assault regiment did not attack them and relaxed a little, following Liu Bing's order, the first battalion launched a half-truth and half-fake fire attack on the west gate of the county seat.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three shells exploded on the city wall of the West City Gate... In order to confuse the enemy, not only did they need to make a big noise, but also increased the attack power of the first battalion. Therefore, Zhang Qingshan specially allocated three small steel cannons to the first battalion—at that time In everyone's cognition, many people think that in such an offensive and defensive battle, the place where the shell lands is the main place for the attacker to attack. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably because shells were expensive at that time, and they were not the real main attack. Who would be willing to waste shells on false attacks? The second reason is that because shells were expensive, when warlords were fighting at that time, they would not easily The use of cannonballs... It has been so long that everyone has this kind of perception. After all, when the cannonballs are fired, ten thousand taels of gold, this is definitely a true portrayal of the weak national power at that time.)

Therefore, when the three shells exploded on the city wall, the second devils on the city wall immediately panicked.Some people were at least 30 meters away from the shells, but they slipped more aggressively than those nearby; The anxiety of the people who watched it affected the resistance of others; some basic officers such as squad leaders and platoon leaders were extremely depressed and faced with two choices: either they were shot to death by their subordinates, or they led their subordinates to collectively fight against them. open.Especially when the second wave and the third wave of shells fell and exploded, this kind of profile became particularly prominent.

In the entire west city section, wailing and screaming are almost everywhere, and there are figures running in a panic everywhere... It's like the end of the world is here, and the instincts of timidity, fear, and avoidance of human nature are brought into full play, and there is no need to attack again , You can capture prisoners just by climbing the city wall, a precursor to breaking the city.

However, at this critical moment, the quality, ability and experience of the little devils are displayed: a team of about 30 little devils climbed up the city wall, ignoring the bombardment of shells, constantly roaring, smashing gun butts, and hitting The one with kicks was very fierce against the second devil, which formed a sharp contrast with the second devil's fear of death and panic.

However, I don't know if it's because the translator on the side shouted, "We have a city wall to support us. We can kill them as long as we hide behind the city wall. What are we afraid of?" or the second devil is really afraid of the little devil. Dyed to the bone.Under the support of the little devil, the two devils didn't dare to play tricks anymore, so they had to hide behind the wall with their guns in their hands, praying to God to bless them to live safely.

For a while, it gradually stabilized.Even if the shells were still exploding, even if they were terribly scared, no one dared to run away.It can be seen how spineless these second devils are, and how afraid they are of little devils... Of course, this is also related to the large number of second devils who came up later.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Da da da……"

After all, it is not the real main attack. Even if they are assigned to three small steel cannons, there are not many shells, so they must save some money. Wait a minute, and continue to drop bombs on the little devil's head.Therefore, the small steel cannon had to stop temporarily after only firing a few waves, and instead fired at the city wall with rifles and light machine guns.

I don't know if it's because there are too many little devils around me, or because the shells stopped, or because I feel safe hiding behind the wall. Anyway, as soon as the shells of the small steel cannon stopped, amidst the roar of the little devils, I was beside me. Under the warning of the little devil's sharp gaze, and under the loud cheers of the interpreter, the two devils had no choice but to stick out their guns and fight back outside the city.

After fighting for a while, maybe seeing that the other party didn't directly attack the city, but just shot at each other, these two devils actually fought more and more steadily, and felt more and more safe in their hearts... This was mainly because it was too dark and everyone couldn't see each other, so they had to shoot at each other. Squirt, or shoot where the flames flash.As for whether it can hit the opponent, only God knows.

Zhang Qingshan listened to the sound of gunfire, pinched his pocket watch in his right hand, and silently calculated the enemy's firepower: an excellent veteran can judge the approximate number of opponents by the intensity of firepower.

"Captain, it's almost time, we can start now."

Zhang Qingshan opened his pocket watch, looked at it, nodded to Zhao Shanhe who was looking at him with burning eyes, and said, "Start the general attack!"

"Yes!"
