Chapter 781: We Must Be Realistic!
"Baoyu, you just said that the comrades of the assault company should have all climbed into the county seat from this secret passage at this time, right?"
After asking, the three of them had just walked back, and before they could say a word of thanks to Zhou Bingzhong, Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of a little and immediately asked Zhou Baoyu seriously.
"They sent a squad of fighters an hour and a half ago and started crawling down the secret passage, it's been so long, so, I think...... Should ......"
"Do you want to?" Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhou Baoyu solemnly, and there was a bit of reproach in his tone: "How can it be child's play to fight? ”
Tian Guozhong on the side was about to persuade, but suddenly figured it out: No wonder Zhang Qingshan was so angry, the soldiers who climbed into the city, the gap between a squad and a company, is definitely not just a difference in numbers, it also reflects combat effectiveness, influence on tactics, and so on. And the key point of all this is that the secret passage is narrow and long, ordinary strong men don't even want to climb into this secret passage, and only a lean body like Zhou Bingzhong can enter and exit freely in the secret passage. However, the standard of living of the assault company is very good, and almost all of them are strong men, so how can they all climb in? If they only climb into one squad, it is worth thinking about carefully: although the soldiers of this squad are all carefully selected and good, the number is too small after all, and if they exchange fire with the enemy, it is really difficult to say whether they will have the opportunity and time to put the explosives bags at the blocked city gate, let alone whether they will survive...... If it is a company, then it will have plenty of time to fight the enemy, especially if the enemy is caught off guard. Even if the enemy discovers and crosses fire on the way, you can force your way to the destination with the strength of the assault company, which can not only ensure that you have enough time to blow up the city gate, but also protect yourself until our side rushes into the city from the blown up...... One squad and one company, the gap is absolutely huge.
And Zhou Baoyu turned a squad of soldiers into a company based on speculation alone, which would cause misjudgment in judgment for Zhang Qingshan and others, so as to make wrong deployments, and may even affect the overall ...... At the very least, it can affect the time to break through the county seat to be extended. And prolongation means that more comrades-in-arms will be killed or injured, and these can be avoided, but it is very likely to occur because of Zhou Baoyu's seemingly insignificant speculative result.
That's why Zhang Qingshan is so angry.
Thinking of this, Tian Guozhong was just about to open his mouth to persuade him, but he also shut up...... Everyone knows the relationship between Zhou Baoyu and Zhang Qingshan, but Zhou Baoyu is indeed a little excessive, or a little too proud, and is so arrogant that he can even make his own guess.
"After I went back, I was locked up for a week, wrote a 1,000-word review, and made a review report at the whole regiment meeting......"
Looking at Zhang Qingshan, who had a cold gaze, Zhou Baoyu didn't dare to say a word and lowered his head.
"If nothing else, because you are also an old Red Army, why can't you even do the most basic truth-seeking? Who gave you the power to let you act so wantonly and recklessly, and you didn't even bother to do the investigation of military operations, and actually relied on imagination and speculation, do you plan to let the whole regiment of soldiers die for your imagination and speculation...... Go back and write a serious review for me. If you don't write seriously and profoundly, you don't have to do it as a communications platoon leader. ”
"Yes!"
"Now, let me go back to your job, if you dare to do this again, I will shoot you myself. ”
"Oh!"
Seeing Zhou Baoyu bow his head and leave, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth to Tian Guozhong, and wanted to ask, "Lao Tian, am I too indulgent to Baoyu?", but suddenly thought that there are outsiders, this kind of family ugliness, it is better not to say it in front of outsiders - Zhang Qingshan is still very good-looking.
"You're Zhou Bingzhong, right?"
Previously, that Zhou Baoyu was obviously very famous in this army, and he was greeted by people everywhere he went, and he was extremely polite, but he was scolded by Zhang Qingshan, and he didn't even dare to say a word about you...... Zhou Bingzhong, who saw this scene in his eyes, was particularly impressed by Zhang Qingshan. I feel that this is the majesty that an officer should have, and besides, such a commander must not be easy to provoke, and it is not something that a small ordinary person like himself can afford...... A commander with thousands of men and horses in his hands, according to the ancient division, is definitely a general! Thinking of this, he will naturally have a little awe of the other party from the heart, not to mention that he is so fierce, then he must be careful, otherwise, if he is unhappy with any words, he only needs one sentence, his own life will be gone, and his family will have nowhere to sue if they want to sue -- these days, a small common man, if he dies, he will die, and if he wants to sue a general, then he can only seek his own death. At least, what he saw and heard made him feel that way.
Now when he heard Zhang Qingshan's question with a smile, he hurriedly replied: "Report to the chief, I am Zhou Bingzhong." ”
Very honest and sincere.
Zhang Qingshan didn't expect that the scene he had just criticized Zhou Baoyu would leave such a 'vicious' impression on Zhou Bingzhong, and he was surprised that Zhou Bingzhong was so nervous, and even his nervous body was trembling slightly: How could this be?
"Fellow, don't be so nervous...... Here, smoke a cigarette. ”
Smoke is indeed something that closes the distance between each other.
After saluting the cigarette and lighting the cigarette, Zhou Bingzhong obviously got used to it, at least, his body didn't tremble.
"You are older than me, you can call me Xiao Zhang, or Zhang Qingshan, or Zhang Tuanchang, I will call you Lao Zhou ......"
"Sir, don't dare, don't dare, if you want to call me that, wouldn't it ......"
"It's fine. Zhang Qingshan was a little angry and anxious, so he was even more anxious to know everything, so he interrupted Zhou Bingzhong's words: "Old Zhou, do you know the assault company...... How many of the people who were to be sent in through the secret passage had entered?"
On the side, Tian Guozhong also called aside the two assault company soldiers who had come to protect Zhou Bingzhong and asked the same question.
"Yes, sir...... No, Captain Zhang, I know, there were seven people in total. ”
"Oh~!Old Zhou, how do you know?"
"Commander, because I personally selected them at the time, they were all lean people about the same as me, and everyone else was too strong to climb in. ”
Of more than 100 people, seven lean ones were selected, which shows that the food of the assault company is really good. Of course, their exploits and the danger of their tasks are worthy of such special treatment.
"Lao Zhou, how many explosives did you see these seven people bring in?"
"Explosives bag, Captain, do you mean the big package they're carrying?"
"That's right! That's the explosives pack. ”
"They made two trips back and forth, bringing in a total of fourteen explosives packs. ”
After chatting with Zhou Bingzhong for a while, and when Zhou Bingzhong relaxed, Zhang Qingshan asked: "Old Zhou, your family has lived in the county seat for generations, do you think so many explosives packs, can you blow up the blocked city gate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan felt that he had said something wrong: the other party was not a soldier and did not understand the power of the explosive package, so he naturally couldn't judge whether he could blow up the blocked city gate. Isn't it embarrassing for him to ask him this?
Before Zhang Qingshan could explain, Zhou Bingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Regiment Commander, I don't understand the power of the explosives package, so I can't judge it at all......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Bingzhong looked at Zhang Qingshan and said, "However, as far as I know, the city wall of the county town is very strong, and it is absolutely difficult to blow it up." ”
"Why?"
"Because whether it is to repair the city wall or to renovate the city wall, it is made of large stones, which are very strong, and when a cannon hits it, it only blows out a small groove the size of a bowl. As you can imagine, it would be difficult for such a sturdy wall to blow up. ”
After chatting with Zhou Bingzhong for a while, he asked him and the two soldiers to go down to eat and rest.
Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong checked the content of the inquiry, and sure enough, only seven people entered...... It's not that the two soldiers of the assault company are not worried, but, first, Zhou Baoyu's guess just now made both of them feel a little pimple, so they must ask clearly; second, Zhou Bingzhong is the first time to see it, and asking separately can better determine the truth of what he said.
As soon as the number of people is small, all kinds of troubles will come, especially in the danger factor, which will definitely increase exponentially: since the city wall is so strong, if you want to blow up a section of the city wall, the number of explosives bags must not be too small, otherwise it will not collapse at all, and it will lose the meaning of the seven people entering the city, and more importantly, it will have a huge impact on the next attack method and effect...... It is conceivable that since the little devil has suddenly made such a series of deployments, he will inevitably strengthen the vigilance and patrol tonight, and the danger of these seven people being discovered will inevitably increase. If the whole company goes in, then there is nothing to say, with the strength of the assault company, as long as it enters the county, there will be no big problem in completing the task. However, the team composed of seven people is too weak, and each person also carries two explosive bags, which will inevitably affect the speed and combat ability, and once discovered, the whole army is very likely to be annihilated.
Besides, even if they rushed to their destination at the risk of death, it would be lucky to have one or two left, but at this time, the number of explosives packages is insufficient, and it is difficult to say whether they can blow up the city gate.
And once the city gate is not blown up, then the subsequent battle plan will inevitably be greatly affected, at least, the prolongation of the city break and the greater casualty rate can be expected...... This is the result of taking points to surfaces.
Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong are both smart people, and in the face of such an unexpected situation, it is difficult to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds for a while.
Just when they were thinking hard and meditating, they didn't expect that Zhou Bingzhong would relapse.
As soon as he saw Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong, his expression was solemn, his eyes were a little red, and his eyes were a little sad and angry: "Regiment Leader, what you asked me just now, I thought about it carefully just now...... Are you bothered about how to blow up the walls?"
