march to victory

"how is the situation?"

At the highest point of the fourth battalion and third company's position, I saw that the little devil was still bombarding Pigeon Mountain, and the rumbling explosions made people shudder. At this time, there were already raging fires in many places on Pigeon Mountain.

It's just a little strange that, looking through the telescope, not to mention that no one went to put out the fire, not even a running figure, which made Zhang Qingshan a little suspicious: Why didn't there be any reaction?No matter how strong the artillery fortifications are, in the face of such intensive shelling, there will inevitably be some casualties, but through the telescope, there is hardly a single person on it... Could it be that everyone has run away?

This line of defense was at the edge of the forest. At this time, Zhang Qingshan and the third company commander were sitting under a big tree.

The third company commander just lit the pipe, and when he heard Zhang Qingshan's question, he pointed the pipe and smiled at Pigeon Mountain, "Commander, don't worry, they just blow it up, anyway, there's no one on it."

"No one?"

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over with some doubts, the third company commander also asked suspiciously: "Commander, don't you know?"

Seeing Zhang Qingshan shaking his head, the commander of the third company thought for a while, and said: "Probably the soldiers I sent to report to the regiment didn't meet you...Regimental commander, before the battle started, all the people from the second company and Pigeon Mountain withdrew .”

"What's going on?" Zhang Qingshan's expression became a little more displeased: Although the regiment's order to the second company commander was: hit if you can beat it, and run if you can't beat it, and then go around and attack the 'ass' of the little devil's reinforcements .It can be said that Erlian was given a lot of autonomy.But the problem is, no matter how independent you are, you can't just run away without firing a shot, and you have to resist anyway, otherwise, what did you do fortifications on Pigeon Mountain for so long?It's too stumbling to be a decoration.

"Head, Erlian is no wonder...don't worry, let me tell you slowly."

Then the commander of the third company explained: the commander of the second company heard the report from the scouts, saying that the little devil's reinforcements began to divide their troops five miles away, and surrounded the pigeon mountain in three directions.

The commander of the second company, who had known the surrounding terrain clearly, didn't even bother to look at the map. The first reaction in his mind was: The little devil's reinforcements are planning to encircle Pigeon Mountain, and they are missing one of the three. They deliberately let the pigeon go. On the side of the mountain leading to Qinglong Mountain, it is typical to force the people on Pigeon Mountain to retreat to the Qinglong Mountain assault regiment station, so that the assault regiment can be stewed in one pot.

How can this work?The order from the regiment headquarters is to fight if we can beat it, and run if we can't beat it, and the most important thing is, after running out, we will come back and attack the little devil's rear—he understood Zhang Qingshan's intention very well, Know that's the point.

Therefore, the second company commander immediately discussed with Li Jing: Before the little devils can encircle, let's just abandon Pigeon Mountain and move out in advance.Otherwise, when the devils are surrounded on three sides, it will be difficult for us to stand out, so we can only retreat to the regiment headquarters. This will not only put pressure on the regiment headquarters, but also disrupt the deployment of the entire battle: without us, we will be behind the little devils The little devil can let go of his hands and feet and attack Qinglong Mountain with all his strength.

Li Jing has been running Pigeon Hill's lair for several years, and when he heard that he was going to leave if he didn't shoot, he was naturally sad.But he understands better that if there is no assault group to support him, his lair will never be kept.He can't keep the left and right sides, and the bandit's nature is to bully the weak and fear the strong, so he has nothing to say... Anyway, as long as the assault group wins, Pigeon Mountain will still return to him, and he is still the king of Pigeon Mountain-this point, Zhang Qing Shan had personally promised him in front of everyone.

Therefore, the two of them led their subordinates without hesitation, and ran away directly.One point is worth mentioning: After running for four or five miles, the two led everyone to hide on the spot, waiting for the best time to attack.

Hearing this explanation, Zhang Qingshan laughed: This second company commander is not bad, not only knows the value of the eight words "flexible use, prompt decision" on the battlefield, but also has a good understanding ability.

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan smiled, the commander of the third company asked in a low voice: "Head, the second company left. Although it was ordered to transfer, there is nothing wrong with it, but it made our third company face the little devil directly. The little devil has something to say." Thousands of people, fierce firepower, and our third company has only a hundred people, which is too small... In order to prevent mistakes, you see, can you send us some people?"

"Stop complaining to me." Zhang Qingshan said with a smile, "You don't even look at the terrain advantages around you."

As he said that, Zhang Qingshan's voice became louder. Obviously, the next words were not only for the third company commander, but also for everyone. The purpose was naturally to appease people's hearts and boost morale.

"That's right, the number of little devils' reinforcements is indeed much larger than that of our third company, but the problem is, look at the four or five miles from Pigeon Mountain to our place, all of which are mountain trails. Don't say that there are thousands of little devils, Even if he has tens of thousands of people, it’s useless. He doesn’t want to spread everyone out. He can only listen to us and come to die one by one. On the other hand, we have built fortifications in the most dangerous and widest places. , set up a blockhouse... So, although our number is small, we can reach the point where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men can't open it. From this point of view, we have taken advantage of it. Now, it depends on whether the little devil will You'll bump into it head-on like a pig."

Zhang Qingshan's words seem to make sense, but in fact, there is a lot of water and deceptive meaning: if it is an ancient war, without long-range weapons, the enemy has to fill the checkpoints with human lives.But modern warfare is quite different, especially the so-called bunkers in Zhang Qingshan’s mouth. Because there is no cement, and they are not in the rocky mountains, they are destined to be unable to build permanent fortifications.Then, the enemy only needs to concentrate two to three small steel cannons, and a few shots can make your bunker go up to the sky, and the people inside will naturally be even more unlucky, and they will be killed if they are not shocked.

What's more, although it is indeed a narrow path of four or five miles from Pigeon Mountain to their place, the problem is that the two sides of the path are not the thorny forests in the front, so even if the little devils want to attack, it is impossible for them to attack as they imagined. , with nowhere to hide.The little devil can completely detour in a short distance. At that time, if one is not good, there may be a possibility of being back-flanked by the little devil in a short distance.

Of course, this is to boost morale at this time, lest the morale of the soldiers be low due to the large gap in numbers. After all, most of them are recruits, and this possibility is still very high. Temporarily speaking big words is not only normal, but also the responsibility and ability of all commanders.

Sure enough, many soldiers, especially the recruits, originally lowered their heads, but when they heard Zhang Qingshan's words, they all raised their heads and their eyes lit up, as if they had seen the enemy being targeted and killed by themselves. It is conceivable that their desire to fight has begun to increase.

And Zhang Qingshan wanted to further improve morale, so he stood up, looked at everyone, and smiled confidently.

"Besides, the mission of our third company this time is not to defend to the death, but to inflict maximum damage on the enemy while preserving our own strength. Then, everyone can retreat while fighting..." Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan The volume of his voice increased a lot, and he shouted: "The regiment has already made sufficient arrangements, especially for our third company, it is more important to take care of it. After we kill the devils for a while, we can fight while retreating. The little devil was introduced into the primeval forest behind the regiment headquarters. There, the comrades who responded to us were ready, because not only had we already prepared various traps for the little devil to fall into the trap, but now, there are many Comrades are deploying. As long as the little devils are brought in, I guarantee that they will suffer heavy casualties... They can attack if they advance, and they can defend if they retreat! So, there is no need for everyone to worry, because the little devils are here to give us military exploits..."

As he said that, he saw many comrades nodding their heads, and some even whispering to each other. Seeing their expressions, they were obviously very happy-that is, if anyone knows that he is fighting here, he is not fighting to the death, but to give the enemy a certain amount of damage. , Lead the enemy into the ambush circle.Compared with using more than 100 people to face a thousand or so little devils, the danger is much smaller if you have to stick to it. At least your own life is very likely to be saved. Of course, it would be better if you get some military exploits by the way—— Most of them were new recruits, and they were baptized by artillery fire for the first time. No matter how they looked at it, they couldn't accept death as home. It was natural to be afraid, but it was a strange thing not to be afraid.

"Comrades, after this battle is over, I invite everyone in my delegation to drink and eat meat..."

These words immediately won cheers from everyone.

What Zhang Qingshan said next immediately boosted morale.

"My current delegation has a special rule: Anyone who has made meritorious service in this battle will not only be rewarded by the regiment, but also go to his home to express his gratitude to his family. Do you agree?"

"it is good!"

This is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu, and he can show his face in front of relatives and friends, so everyone naturally applauds.

Not long after, the artillery baptism on Pigeon Mountain ended. Seeing the mountains covered with flames and billowing smoke, Zhang Qingshan didn’t know whether to rejoice or cry: After all, Pigeon Mountain was a line of defense for Qinglong Mountain. It's a pity that the little devil was wiped out after a cannon fire.But fortunately, the second company commander was resourceful and evacuated everyone in advance. Otherwise, under such intensive artillery fire, even if there were some anti-cannon pits or holes, the casualties would definitely not be small.And the greatest luck is: with such a big fire and thick smoke, the little devil has always been unable to reach the top of the mountain in a short time, thus losing the little advantage of observing our defense line on the top of the mountain.

"You stay here, I'll go to the first line of defense to have a look."

Hearing this, and seeing that Zhang Qingshan was about to leave, the third company commander was startled: Zhang Qingshan is the regiment leader, if something happens, he will have no face in the assault regiment.

He hurriedly stopped Zhang Qingshan, and said with a smile: "Commander, you are not familiar with this place, so you should stay here and direct everyone... I will go to the first line of defense to direct."

After finishing speaking, without giving Zhang Qingshan any chance, he turned around and waved his hand, and ran forward with a few people.

Zhang Qingshan yelled twice, seeing that the other party not only didn't respond, but ran faster instead, he seemed to fear that he would catch up.Knowing what the other party meant, he had no choice but to give up, but he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart: being an official is uncomfortable, being comfortable is not an official!That's a good thing to say.Since I became the head of the regiment, the comrades below have tried their best not to let themselves go to the front line as if they were protecting a national treasure.Even if they go to the front line, there will be a bunch of people around them... hey~!It seems that the chance of personally going to the battlefield to kill the enemy is getting slimmer and slimmer!
