"The little devil bullied me for not being a soldier."

This is Xiao Zhan's first judgment.

Troops were deployed in the north, east, and south, but the northeast and southeast corners were empty. The devils either blew up the walls and attacked from two directions; Either it was hoped that the defenders would divide their forces and attack from the front. Whatever it was, they were bullying the defenders for not having soldiers.

Strength is Xiao Zhan's biggest weakness, and the enemy is desperately biting this weakness.

No matter how Xiao Zhan responded, he lost. If the forces are divided, the enemy will attack from the front; If the forces are not divided, the enemy will blow up the walls and attack from both flanks.

Xiao Zhan felt that he was being generalized, and the enemy must have a master behind the scenes, maybe it was Kondo Smoke mentioned in the message. In order to mobilize troops in a more timely manner, Xiao Zhan left the headquarters and headed for the city wall.

The first company has withdrawn to the inner city, and a fortification has been built on the periphery, and in the area of fifty meters between the fortification and the city wall, the engineer company has cleared the obstacles, and the devils will be attacked head-on once they enter the city.

In addition, the machine gun platoon is still deployed on the city wall position, and there is also a heavy machine gun at the city gate, which can destroy the opponent's living forces as much as possible when the enemy attacks.

According to the time calculation, the devil artillery should have been in place. If you engage in positional warfare with the enemy, the troops will only suffer more casualties.

On the city wall, Xiao Zhan began to observe with a telescope.

The devils in front had already assembled and moved to a place two hundred meters away from the forward position to prepare for attack. There were more than 50 devils on each wing, and they opened a long line of skirmishers and moved forward, and Xiao Zhan found that there were sappers inside.

In this way, it seems that the initial judgment was correct, and the demon wanted to blow up the walls and attack from the weakest point of defense.

Xiao Zhan couldn't make a choice for a while, and to deal with the devils on both wings, he had to dispatch at least two platoons of troops, so that the devils would definitely attack from the front, and the consequence would be that the front and both wings could not be saved.

"Report! Devils were found in the north and south, and there were as many as 100 soldiers. ”

"Got it. The outpost continued to observe the enemy's movements. ”

"Yes!"

The herald turned and left. And at this moment, the sky made a piercing sound of "whoosh~whoosh~", and Xiao Zhan shouted: "Withdraw, quickly withdraw!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”“……”

The devil artillery launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the city wall position, Xiao Zhan withdrew from the city wall with a machine gun platoon and a mortar team in time, and the brigade went to the first-line defensive position.

The operational intent of this artillery bombardment was very obvious, that is, to cover the attack on the front and both flanks, and the machine guns and mortars of the city walls were a threat to them.

Although the enemy's intentions were obvious, Xiao Zhan fell into the vortex of thinking. What had a psychological impact on him was the devils of more than 100 people on each side of the north and south.

If the enemy's commander is Kondo, this person is good at psychological warfare, and it is impossible to clearly tell the enemy about the enemy's combat intentions. It is possible that the front is a feint, and the north and south are the main attacks. Whether it is the left and right flanks, or the front, or the north and south, the purpose of the other side is to divide the troops themselves and eat the weakness of the defenders' lack of troops.

As time passed, the more urgent it was, the more Xiao Zhan couldn't jump out of the whirlpool of thinking.

Where will the enemy's main attack be? What exactly are the intentions of the enemy? If he guessed wrong, Xiao Zhan's own first-line delaying tactics would be a failure, and in the end, he could only retreat from the second defense area on the whole line, and the devil successfully occupied the outer city of Lanfeng.

Victory or defeat is between the commander's thoughts, hesitation is the commander's taboo, everyone knows this truth, if it really befalls on their own heads, it is another matter.

The psychological game between the two sides is about finding a balanced point, Xiao Zhan didn't dare to take risks, because he couldn't afford to lose at all, so he chose to seek stability.

"Herald."

"Here!"

"Order the guard platoon to send a squad to the northeast and southeast, and if you find the devils blasting into the city, retreat immediately after the ambush. Ordered the engineer company, if the devils attack from the north and south, directly blast and quickly evacuate the second line of defense. ”

"Yes!"

The two heralds turned to leave, riding fast horses to relay the order.

After the guard platoon received the order, the soldiers of the two squads rushed to the designated position in a hurry and laid an ambush.

Xiao Zhan has always been nervous, and he remembered the long and short games he played with Zheng Binghao. Sometimes there is no such thing as long and short at all, it is an artificial illusion that confuses the psychology of the other party and causes errors in judgment.

Xiao Zhan leaned on the sandbag of the fortification and looked at the west, sometimes the most unlikely in the game is often the most likely, and if he is surprised and does the opposite, he will achieve unexpected results. However, the defenders really did not have extra troops, and Xiao Zhan did not dare to take the lives of the soldiers and Lan Feng to Bo.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the sound Xiao Zhan pulled back to reality from the whirlpool of thinking, and the devils launched blasting operations at the two city corners, and the two city walls in the southeast and northeast were blasted out of a gap by the devils.

Zheng Binghao had already rushed here with a squad and hid on the surrounding rooftops. Between the roof and the city walls is an open space with a certain view.

Zheng Binghao saw several devils climb the city wall and set up machine guns on both sides of the gap to control the high points, he stretched out his hand and said: "Pass the order, take my gunfire as a signal, and retreat immediately after the fight." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, Zheng Binghao changed to a Mauser rifle and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the machine gunner on the city wall.

The devils continued to pour in from the gap, and the troops in front began to be on alert, covering the troops behind to continue to enter.

"Bang!" A bullet shot shot out of Zheng Binghao's muzzle, directly hitting a devil machine gunner.

"Dadada" "......"

Gunfire rang out on the rooftops, and gunfire from all three rooftops poured forward at the same time, like showers of raindrops.

The devils on the city wall were strafed by random gunfire, and three devils fell directly from above. The devils below were defenseless for a while, and more than a dozen devils died on the spot.

"Boom Boom" "......"

At this time, more than a dozen grenades were thrown from not far away, and suddenly the smoke was filled with gunpowder, and the huge smoke that was burning blocked the view of the soldiers of the guard platoon.

"Da Da Da"

“……”

At the breach, two machine guns quickly launched a counterattack, firing wildly in the direction of the ambush, and the infantry, under the cover of the machine guns, launched a fierce attack.

"Throw!"

"唰~唰~唰~" "......".

More than a dozen grenades were thrown from above several rooftops, and there was a violent explosion in front of the gap, and the devils who rushed in were covered in smoke and firelight. Jung Byung-ho took the opportunity to withdraw with the team.

The sound of this battle seemed to be a signal, and the devils everywhere had big moves, the devils in the east, south, and north directions, and at the same time Lan Feng launched an attack.
