march to victory

"Don't be in a hurry." Zhang Qingshan asked the other party to sit down quickly, and picked up a steel cup beside him and handed it to him: "Come, drink some water, and speak slowly."

After the correspondent drank all the water in the steel cup in one breath, the sweat on his face sprung up like mushrooms after a rain—it was obvious from a glance that it was the result of running for a long distance and suddenly stopping to rest.

"Reporting to the head of the group, Captain Luo sent me back urgently to report to you. At around eight o'clock this morning, a team of about [-] little devils suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the county..."

After Zhang Qingshan marked it on the map himself, he looked at the map and frowned: According to the organization of the devils, there are about 300 devils, which is less than a brigade, but twice as many as a squadron, which is strange. Could it be that this army of about 300 devils was formed temporarily to deal with the assault regiment?What made Zhang Qingshan frown even more was that these devils suddenly appeared in Sanqiao County.Isn't this nonsense?

He turned around and asked, "You just said that they appeared suddenly, so where did they come from? What direction did they come from? How is the equipment? Are there heavy weapons?"

"Reporting to the head, we didn't figure it out at first, but we inquired and groped all the way in the direction they came from, and finally figured out that these little devils were not on a ship used by their own army, but recruited from afar. It was a civilian merchant ship, and it happened to be at night when they arrived in our area, so they didn't attract everyone's attention along the way, and finally, they landed on the screw beach more than 20 miles southeast of the county seat."

The correspondent ran in a hurry, and the answer was also in a hurry. When he said this, he couldn't help but stop.After taking a few deep breaths and feeling much better, he continued: "Their equipment is the same as that of the devils in the county. However, apart from heavy machine guns and small steel cannons, there are no tanks and artillery..."

Devils are richer, their national strength is stronger than that of China, and their weapons and equipment are naturally better than that of the Chinese army.Therefore, it is normal for the devils to carry a few heavy machine guns and small steel cannons that are easy to carry wherever they go.

As he spoke, he took another deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Commander, there is another situation. Captain Luo asked me to tell you: These devils seem to be disheveled, but they can learn from these devils. I feel from the aura that these devils are definitely veterans, as if... as if they just came off the battlefield, and their eyes are as fierce as wolves... However, Captain Luo said, this is just a feeling, Due to the rush of time, he didn't have time to investigate, so he just said that this is his feeling, please consider it."

Zhang Qingshan is a veteran, so he can naturally see the difference between veterans and recruits, and Luo Yingjie has fought for so many years, I believe that his feelings about this aspect should not be wrong.

Zhang Qingshan came to the map, took a pencil, found Luotan on the map, and then extended along the river. Suddenly, he understood where these devils came from: this waterway can be extended all the way to Xin In addition, Luo Yingjie said that these devils were full of fierceness, so it is likely that these devils retreated from the battlefield to recuperate.And only in this way can it be explained why the number of these devils is only about 300.It must be on the battlefield, this brigade used up less than half before retreating to the 'rear' for repairs.

Otherwise, if the devils really discovered the current strength of the assault group, they would definitely not send only 500 devils, but should send a regiment over... No matter how arrogant the devils are, their military quality is not so good, it is impossible Thinking of using 2000 people to fight guerrilla warfare with [-] people—on the plains, the devils may still shout with the help of aircraft and cannons, but Qinglong Mountain and its surrounding areas are forests, and the aircraft and cannons are basically useless. If you come here, it's not called encirclement and suppression, it's called death.

Zhang Qingshan became excited, and began to imagine how to eat these hundreds of devils... Taking advantage of the fact that the devils don't know the real strength of the assault group, set up a situation, and with the current strength of the assault group, they can definitely eat these hundreds of people .

"Baoyu, take this comrade down to rest first. By the way, where is Comrade Luo Yingjie now? Then immediately send someone to tell Comrade Luo Yingjie: You must find out the purpose of these devils as soon as possible: they came down from the battlefield for repairs. He's here to deal with us...Let him put his other work aside and monitor these little devils with all his strength, and report any situation at any time!"

After the two left, Zhang Qingshan lingered in front of the map with his hands behind his back, occasionally glanced at the map, and frowned deeply: what he was thinking about now was not how to eat this devil, but the timing: if it was too early If you don't alarm the devils, you won't be able to achieve the goal of letting the devils' backyard catch fire when the devils send troops to Taiyuan, so that they can divide their troops to rescue them.But if you don’t eat this devil right now, first, it’s not Zhang Qingshan’s style to look at your mouth and don’t eat any meat. Leave after finishing and continue to the front line, it is not a pity, but your own dereliction of duty; three, in case this group of devils is only here to test, and there are a large number of devils coming behind them, it is better to eat them first This devil's vanguard, the vigor to kill devils... Should we fight?Zhang Qingshan was uncertain.

Zhang Qingshan remained silent, wandering around with a solemn expression, causing everyone to shut down, all eyes following his figure, making the atmosphere in the regiment headquarters very depressing.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qingshan suddenly found that the surroundings were very quiet. He couldn't help but look at everyone strangely. Seeing that everyone was staring at him intently, he smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me like this? My face There are no long flowers..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan paused for a moment, thinking: Since I can't make up my mind, why don't I listen to everyone's opinions?Anyway, they are staff officers, analyzing problems and making suggestions is also their job.

"By the way, I have a big problem here, and I want to hear everyone's opinions. Come! Everyone gathers around the map, talking freely while looking at it."

Everyone became excited when they heard this...Although Zhang Qingshan is domineering and likes to throw hands away from the shopkeeper, he has one great advantage, that is, he can accept other people's opinions with an open mind.Whether right or wrong, he can listen with gusto, and even argue with you after listening, even if he realizes that he is wrong during the argument, he will admit it face to face, and will never give you little shoes to wear afterwards.

There is such a story circulating in Qinglong Mountain: One day, the idle and boring Zhang Qingshan chatted with the village chief Zhang Degui. When they talked about using snakes to set traps, the two decided to catch injured snakes to set traps, which is easier to attack people. , or uninjured snakes are more likely to attack people when setting traps, and a dispute arose.In the end, Zhang Degui asked his three grandsons to catch two snakes in the mountains and conduct experiments with their own hands. The results proved that uninjured snakes were more likely to attack people.It's not that one situation is easier to attack, because both situations are easy for snakes to attack people.But injured snakes are easy to die, so Zhang Qingshan lost.After Zhang Qingshan realized his mistake, he apologized to the other party on the spot... In the end, the two laughed and felt that this kind of argument was a good way to pass the time.Of course, after Hu Yingze heard about this, he privately criticized Zhang Qingshan for being too leisurely, while he was too busy to touch the ground.Zhang Qingshan also admitted his mistake on the spot, but when he woke up the next day, Zhang Qingshan was still the shopkeeper who threw his hands away, causing Hu Yingze to shout that he was careless in making friends.Everyone doesn't need to know about this.

Therefore, if Zhang Qingshan invites everyone to speak freely, then they will definitely be able to say what they want. As long as there is a basis for facts and discuss the facts, they will definitely not get supercilious, which further improves everyone's straightforwardness.

After everyone gathered, Zhang Qingshan first told everyone the results and analysis he had obtained based on this information, and then let everyone speak freely.

Everyone spoke up one after another. As a result, after Zhang Qingshan heard a lot of opinions, he suddenly discovered that what they said was completely different from what he expected... Staff officers are good at analyzing problems and putting forward opinions, but they have never been able to make decisions , and this determines that this discussion can only be an analysis issue.But what Zhang Qingshan wants is that they can help make decisions, which is a bit difficult for others.

It was Xiao Zhang, who tactfully proposed a suggestion to Zhang Qingshan: Since the information is insufficient and the situation is unclear, and we still need to consult the superiors for cooperation, why don't we wait and see while preparing for the battle.Anyway, these three counties are now under our noses, and we can eat whenever we want.And because the devils have only occupied the county town and a few important places, they haven't had time to extend their magic hands to the towns, so they can't shrink back. Then, why don't we send more people to watch.In this way, we can know every move of the devil at any time, so that we can deal with it at any time... To put it bluntly, this is 'braking with static'.

Undecided, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to listen to Xiao Zhang's suggestion and not move for the time being, but sent someone to watch the devil's every move.At the same time, send communications troops to the division headquarters to ask for instructions, and take a look at what Hu Yingze is doing by the way.If there is nothing serious, come back quickly... To be honest, when Hu Yingze was by his side before, Zhang Qingshan always felt that this guy was like a mother-in-law, controlling his little daughter-in-law in everything. Now, Hu Yingze is suddenly not by his side, Zhang Qingshan really Not used to it.Especially when you need to make up your mind now, and you are too uncertain to make up your mind, you need Hu Yingze to help you make up your mind.

However, the next afternoon, when Zhang Qingshan was a little worried about the purpose of the devils, Luo Yingjie sent another message: At noon today, a group of about 150 little devils arrived at Wei's house by boat. Landing at the pier, they are currently catching strong Ding Xiu's devil's warehouse that had been burned down by Zhang Qingshan.It is said that this time they will not only build a bigger warehouse by the Wei family wharf, but also turn the warehouse into a fortress.

Zhang Qingshan frowned suddenly...
