march to victory

"Head, this is the latest information from Xiao Chen just received."

Three days have passed since the battle meeting.

The battalions have all assembled at their respective combat positions according to the order this afternoon.

At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the mountains were dark and dark. Occasionally, there were a few beast sounds, which added a bit of tension and fear to the darkness.

Zhang Qingshan led the Second Battalion and the Artillery Company, and was lying in ambush about five miles east of Sanqiao County, in the dense forest of an unnamed mountain.

Looking at Zhou Baoyu's slightly frowning brows, Zhang Qingshan took the paper and asked Zhou Baoyu: "Baoyu, you frown, what's wrong?"

"Leader, you'd better read the information before talking."

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan's heart skipped a beat: Did something serious happen?

Quickly looked up with the help of the light of the flashlight.

In the battle plan determined by the assault regiment, the old method is still adopted: the assault company sneaks into the county seat in advance, and after the battle starts, seizes the east gate of the county seat according to the situation, gives the enemy internal and external blooms, and breaks through the county seat in one fell swoop... The prescribed general attack The time is five o'clock in the morning tomorrow.

But it still complied with the old saying 'plans can't keep up with changes'.

According to the information three days ago: the little devil blocked the north gate of Sanqiao County, so Zhang Qingshan chose to attack the east gate of the county.However, the information in hand shows that at noon today, for some reason, the little devils in Sanqiao County suddenly blocked the west gate and east gate of the county town with stones and other things, leaving only the south gate to enter and exit.

After reading the telegram, he passed it to Tian Guozhong, the chief of staff of the regiment beside him, but Zhang Qingshan frowned.

After Tian Guozhong read the telegram, he asked: "Baoyu, did the comrades in the city tell us what happened to make the little devil suddenly do this?"

"No!" Zhou Baoyu shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Just yesterday, the gates of the county town were closed at [-]:[-] p.m., but they closed the gates as soon as the sun set today. This information , or the comrades in the city thought it was very important, so they took the risk of using ropes to climb over the city wall and send it out."

Tian Guozhong and Zhang Qingshan looked at each other, and they both saw a big question mark in each other's eyes: Could it be that someone leaked the news?

If someone really leaked the news, it would be a big problem: this operation is of decisive significance both in terms of the strategy of the assault regiment and the direction of the overall situation of the local war of resistance, and it can be said to be of great significance.The assault regiment naturally attaches great importance to this battle, otherwise, Zhang Qingshan would not be in a state of suspension, still strong to lead troops to fight.

There was only one meeting for this battle, and apart from the regiment staff, only battalion-level commanders who knew the battle plan were qualified to know for the first time—except for special companies such as assault companies.That is to say, no matter whether the news was accidentally leaked or someone really turned to the enemy, their rank in the assault regiment was not low. In this way, no matter the seriousness or influence of the problem, it was definitely not small.

Moreover, once the battle plan is leaked, the difficulty of its siege battle will inevitably increase.Among other things, even if the battle plan hadn't been leaked, the little devil had gambled on all three city gates, including the east gate, the main attack point previously planned by the assault regiment.This alone makes it more difficult for the assault group to attack, and it is likely to force the assault group to focus on the only entrance and exit-the south gate.

In this way, it seems that they are also concentrating their forces to attack one point, but the problem is that the little devil can also concentrate the main force to defend.Comparing the two in this way, the attacking party must suffer.

However, you can't discuss this in front of Zhou Baoyu, can you?

Tian Guozhong thought for a while and asked, "Has the assault company not sneaked into the city yet?"

Assault company is naturally an important part of the implementation of internal and external flowering. However, in the past few days, the little devils have significantly increased their search for people entering and leaving. They went into battle in person and executed meticulously.It is especially worth noting that for the first time, little devils seldom take advantage of women during body searches.And if the little devil's temperament can suddenly take a 180-degree turn, reaching the point where dogs don't eat shit, then there is only one possibility: there is more pressure, and they have no intention of doing anything else.But here and now, there is only one reason why the little devils feel such great pressure: the assault group is coming to attack them.Otherwise, no matter whether it is the order from the superior or the resistance of the local people, it will not give them such a great pressure. After all, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, which are universal, and only external pressure will force them to have nothing else. Heart.

And the underground comrades in the city also issued a warning: Through the observations of the past few days, it is found that as long as three or more people, especially men, enter the city, the little devils will find various excuses, either imprison them or go to the city. Build bunkers around the little devil's camp.

That is to say, in this way, let alone a large-scale infiltration of the assault group, even if a small number of comrades infiltrate, but they have no weapons, especially if they cannot bring explosives in, then the meaning of infiltrating is not great .

"More than an hour ago, Company Commander Zhao sent back news that they were still trying to find a way."

Tian Guozhong pondered for a while, sighed, and said to Zhou Baoyu: "Forget it, you send someone to inform the assault company. If you really can't think of a way, don't force it, so as not to startle the snake, or go back first, let's think about other things together. Method."

"Yes!"

After Zhou Baoyu left, Zhang Qingshan gave Tian Guozhong a wink, and the two walked towards the top of the mountain.

Seeing no one around, Zhang Qingshan looked at the gray sky with hands behind his back, the dark earth, especially the line formed by the intersection of the mountains and the sky in his sight, which clearly made people feel the magnificence of the mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but feel The rise of the great rivers and mountains, our generation feels strong.If it is matched with the current situation, it will add a sentence: If it is lost, it will be a shame to our generation.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong?"

"What do you think about this?"

"what's up?"

"Stop pretending, you still don't know what I'm referring to?"

Tian Guozhong smiled and didn't speak, but stood side by side with Zhang Qingshan, looking at the great rivers and mountains, without saying a word for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly said with great emotion: "Looking at this great river and mountain, I can't help but feel a sense of arrogance in my heart, but as soon as I think of this great river and mountain, there are a few rats mixed in." Shit, if I don’t remove it, I’ll be in a panic.”

Zhang Qingshan glanced at him, didn't answer, but nodded... There are still eight or nine hours before the general attack is launched, and there is plenty of time.Moreover, the three battalions and the Sanqiao County guerrilla brigade were all in place, not far from the county seat. Whether it was to slightly adjust the main attack direction or notify the various troops, there was plenty of time.Besides, in fact, there is no need to make big changes just because the little devil suddenly blocked the other two city gates, just change the direction of attack slightly.

"I think there are three possibilities: first, someone defected to the enemy and leaked the battle plan; second, it was a complete coincidence; third, news of the transfer of the first and third battalions reached here." Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong Glancing at Zhang Qingshan, he said with a smile: "I personally think that this kind of thing should not be a coincidence. Of course, even if it is a coincidence, as long as we have no internal problems, there is no need to worry too much. After all, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. There are all kinds of possibilities. Second, I don’t think someone defected to the enemy and leaked the battle plan. Because we have been together internally for this period of time, even if we want to leak it, we can’t pass on the information, and Liu Bing and Qi Zixuan is a veteran of the Long March. Whether it is political thought or personal quality, I believe they will not be so unwise. From the perspective of the general environment, our assault regiment is now suppressing the little devils. Under this general situation, even if It's a grasshopper who knows how to make a choice..."

Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong smiled at Zhang Qingshan: "The locals don't have telegrams, and the locals want to know the general environment outside, and it is impossible for the locals to know so quickly."

This is the truth: it takes time for news to be transmitted, especially such news, even if it reaches the ears, it is not as reassuring as seeing it with one's own eyes... Hearing is believing, seeing is believing!Regardless of the battle situation outside, the ordinary people in the area only saw the fact that the assault regiment was crushing the little devil and beating them up.Therefore, in such a big local environment, even a fool would naturally think that it is better to follow the assault group to fight the little devils. After all, it is more comfortable to follow the strong to beat the weak than to follow the weak to resist the strong. What's more, this weak man is still a little devil. If he follows them, he will be a second devil and humiliate his ancestors.

"So, in my opinion, it can only be the third one, that is, when the first battalion and the third battalion withdrew from the county seat of Longfeng County, they were discovered by the spies of little devils lurking in the county. Moreover, neither the spies nor the little devils are sure. Are the first battalion and the third battalion really returning to Qinglong Mountain or do they have other tasks. Therefore, to be on the safe side, the little devil can only build the strongest defense first to protect himself. This is also the smart side of the little devil..."

"Damn it, it seems that killing the traitor and the second devil is not cruel enough!"

Tian Guozhong didn't hear Zhang Qingshan's muttering clearly, and asked suspiciously: "Old Zhang, what are you mumbling about?"

"It's nothing, I'm just worried that there may be something wrong with us."

"Old Zhang, there is no need to worry about this. Let's think about how to break the city now, right? This is the top priority."

"Hmm! Your analysis makes sense. However, there is one more thing you didn't say, but I understand that, whether it is our military strength or overall strength, here we are at least stronger than the little devils and the second devils in the county. Doubling, no matter what schemes or schemes he has, we just need to crush him upright, and all of them have to be sent to the king of Hades.”

"That's grand!" Tian Guozhong laughed and said, "Actually, no matter how the enemy changes, the initiative is always in our hands. In addition, our strength is much stronger than the enemy, so if we want to fight, we can fight that one." , You can fight as you want. The enemy can only defend passively, exhausted, this city will be destroyed by us sooner or later."

"Having said that, but, Lao Tian, ​​although the number of little devils is much smaller than ours, their weapons and equipment are better than ours, and, I believe, their butt reserves must also be very sufficient. After all, they took three Basically all the weapons and ammunition reserves in the county have been moved to this place, and there will never be any worries about this in a short period of time."

"That's true. If it doesn't work, let's exchange the artillery shells for the casualty rate of the soldiers. Concentrate all the artillery shells and focus on one point. I still don't believe that a section of the city wall can't be bombarded."

After the two talked for a while, Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Tian, ​​let's stop cheering each other up, or talk about how we should fight here because of this little devil's accident?"
