The bandits' first attack on Huangcun ended in failure, and the guns and artillery stopped, leaving only billowing black smoke and corpses everywhere outside Huangcun.

In front of the battle, there was only the wailing of the wounded bandits, the broken hands and feet, the incapacitated bandits endured severe pain, helplessly crawling on the ground, wailing, and no one in the position of the defending officers and soldiers fired, just sat and watched these wounded bandits struggle, watching them move little by little, consuming the last life force, and shedding the last drop of blood......

"Report to the regimental commander, after counting, not an inch of the positions in the four directions has been lost, the first battalion and the regimental headquarters attached to the first battalion have lost six people and 17 wounded, the regimental artillery company and the communications company have no casualties, only one telephone and part of the telephone line of the communication company have been damaged by the bandit mortar shells that have entered the village, the broken telephone lines have been reconnected, the casualties are all caused by stray bullets and mortar shells, the number of bandits attacking our position is more than 1,000, and the preliminary estimate is that the corpses of the bandits in front of our battle are probably more than 500 bodies. Counting the broken corpses, the total number of killed enemies should be more than 500 people. ”

In the regimental headquarters, Zheng Yiqun, attached to the regiment, quickly summarized the battle situation reported by each company by telephone, and quickly sorted out the results and losses.

The results of this battle and the ratio of battle losses are undoubtedly an absolute victory for the defenders, and there is nothing surprising about the huge disparity in losses between the two sides, and the battle for fortified villages is originally a very learned subject, which belongs to the scope of regular operations, and it is not a problem to write a book, not to mention that the bandits are against the soldiers of the second regiment, and they are the elite of the field troops, and there is artillery fire in the village, and under the organized and prepared defense, it is just a fantasy to rely on an attack to attack the village, relying on a group of bandits, even if it is a fierce bandit.

The result of this battle is normal.

However, with the commander's perception and battlefield information, Zhang Wei was a little worried.

In the battle just now, he did not give direct command to the following companies except for the artillery bombardment, but in the course of the battle, he still went out of the headquarters to see for a long time, the attack posture of the bandits in the four directions, the situation of being bombarded and beaten, Zhang Wei stepped on the ladder to go up the room, and saw a lot with binoculars, and he was clear about the specific combat situation of the front-line troops and the attack style of the bandits.

"Well, reply to the companies later, pay attention to the situation in front of the battle, and closely monitor the enemy's situation."

Zheng Yiqun said: "Regiment commander, the brothers fought very well, they didn't lose any position, this attack was defeated by us Half of the attacking troops, according to this way of fighting, they can't take it down at all, and if they can't fight four times, they will die, the combat effectiveness of this group of bandits is very strong locally, but in my opinion, but Er'er, although we only have one battalion, it is absolutely no problem to withstand them, not to mention that they also have to breathe." ”

"It can be defended, but I have a hunch that the strength of the enemy army in front of us will probably exceed our estimate." Zhang Wei said thoughtfully.

Zheng Yiqun said: "According to the report of the enemy before the war, the total strength of these bandits who fought with us was around 3,000, and they are now fighting our second and third battalions...... It is said that if the two infantry battalions that attacked and pinned us down would require more than 1,000 troops, and the 3,000 bandits minus more than 1,000 people, then the strength used to attack our Huangcun would only be more than 1,000 and less than 2,000, and they would have killed the younger 2,000. ”

"You're right, but, here's the problem, I looked at the bandits' attack situation, in the first attack was very crazy and fast, after the shelling, more than a thousand people immediately rushed up, very happy, put yourself in your shoes, let's think about it, suppose you are a bandit, if you have at most 2,000 troops in your hands, maybe even more than 1,000 people, the village is a regular army, you will put half of the people in a storm? I feel that the strength of this bandit is very likely to be more than we imagined, although the bandits do not know how to fight regular warfare, but these bandits will not do such a thing, although there is no clear evidence now, but I feel this way in my heart. ”

"We can't be sure, but we have to consider the worst-case scenario." Zhang Wei said.

As a commander, Zhang Wei already has the habit of changing his mentality at any time and considering the situation according to the worst.

In just one attack, there were more than a thousand bandits swarming in, Zhang Wei had to have some such thoughts, and thinking deeper, he was more worried that once the bandits had too many troops, they played small-scale, multi-batch attrition attacks with themselves, it would not be good.

If the bandits' strength is within the estimated range, then it will be of great benefit to Zhang Wei to besiege and fight a war of attrition many times, and he can just rely on strong firepower to consume the bandits, but ...... If the bandits have far more troops than they think, then it is the bandits who consume themselves.

It is very likely that the battle form will change from the bandits suffering heavy losses under their own heavy firepower, exhausting their bones and blood to collapse, and turning into a wheel war in which the bandits rely on extremely superior forces, grinding their own defenders in Huang Village to exhaustion, and after running out of ammunition, their troops are forced to fight with the bandits who have invaded the village in close combat, and the casualties have increased sharply.

Mixed with a large number of bandits, rushing indiscriminately, not to mention the increase in casualties, if they are mixed together, there will be a situation where small units at the squad and platoon level will be washed away, and the lives of the brothers will be folded on the bandits, Zhang Wei feels that it is too worthless.

From this point of view, it is very bad to hold the mentality of stubbornly defending the old place and attritioning the enemy, Zhang Wei now believes that it is necessary to revitalize the battlefield in order to take the situation into his own hands, and now the whole regiment is surrounded and beaten in three village strongholds, after all, it is not a matter, and the current situation, insisting on stubbornly defending may become a death-defending.

Zhang Wei said: "Zheng Yiqun, send a telegram to the second and third battalions, asking them about the battle situation, especially the second battalion, asking Mu Chao how the enemy situation is in front of them, whether they are sure of leaving the village and attacking in the direction of Huangcun, and the telegram should be urgent!" Also, send someone to call Qiu Wei, ask him to pay attention to the loss of ammunition, and tell him that there may be more enemies in front of us than estimated, so we should be more careful. ”

"Regiment commander, what do you mean, liaise with the second battalion and let the second battalion reinforce us in the direction of Huangcun? Defeat the bandits with a field attack? ”

Zhang Wei nodded: "That's right, nest when you should nest, and when you should move, you should move!" ”

……

Zhang Wei has given up the tactics of taking the defense as the core, and now the enemy's strength is likely to increase, Zhang Wei's tactics will also be adjusted, he wants to change the overall defensive situation, revitalize the battlefield, and turn defense into offense! Fight for the initiative!
