Chapter 906: Prepare to Attack!
"Commander, look, the little devil is out of town. β
Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong stood for a long time, under a big tree, smoking and chatting with their backs against the big tree, and Xiao Zhao, the regimental staff officer, happened to see the little devil going out of the city, and came to report with some excitement.
Tian Guozhong was about to stand up all of a sudden, but was pulled by Zhang Qingshan.
"Xiao Zhao, you go and visually calculate how many little devils have left the city and how many heavy weapons they carry...... This is your forte. Well, let the comrades who are monitoring nearby report it as soon as possible. β
"Yes!"
"Lao Tian, what are you anxious about? The little devil is out of the city, but we still have to wait. After Zhang Qingshan sat down with Tian Guozhong lightly, he handed Tian Guozhong a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said with a smile: "Besides, according to the plan, we have to wait for the little devils who went out of the city to enter the ambush circle and be dragged by the people of the new regiment and the first battalion...... Now, it's better to recharge more energy, so as not to wait too tired and rest if you want to. β
Tian Guozhong smiled, pointed at Zhang Qingshan, and then sat down with peace of mind and listened to the play...... The sound of the battle in Majiaao has never stopped, and the intensity has been maintained for nearly two hours, you can imagine how fierce the fighting over there is, otherwise, the little devils in the county town would not have ventured out to reinforce.
If you have to change to someone who has no city government or experience, you will definitely be worried about the battle of Majiaao, but Zhang Qingshan has always been as calm as Mount Tai, even if he sends a telegram about the battle situation of Majiaao every half hour, Zhang Qingshan's face has never changed after reading it every time, just because he believes in his comrades and believes in the determination of the other three regiments.
And it is precisely because Zhang Qingshan has always been extremely calm that all the commanders and fighters of the assault regiment are at ease, no matter how the battle of Majiaao is fought, the commanders and fighters of the assault regiment are not in a hurry at all...... This is one of the best ways to exemplify and influence leadership, as well as its contagion.
Soon, regimental staff officers Xiao Zhao and Chen Xin jointly came to report.
The little devil dispatched about 1,500 people, and he didn't bring a second devil, and in terms of weapons, everything else was normal, but the small steel cannon brought a lot, but he didn't see a mountain cannon.
This is a bit different from what Zhang Qingshan expected in advance, but if you think about it carefully, it is normal for little devils to do this: according to prior intelligence statistics, there are currently more than 2,300 little devils in Baoyuan County, and nearly 2,500 second devils (including plainclothes teams and other miscellaneous armed forces). Now, the little devil went out for more than half of the time, but he didn't bring a second devil, it could only be that the little devil was eager to reinforce Majiaao and wanted to follow the main force of Santie City to converge, this is not to say that the main force of the little devil could not pass through the ambush circle, but only from the aspect of reducing losses, so he thought about giving the blocking of our personnel a front and back attack.
At the same time, the little devil is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the second devil, and even looks down on it. Therefore, the little devil thinks that instead of taking these two devils who love to see the wind and steer the rudder, and many times will drag their feet, it is better to directly send elite forces to increase the number of people directly and quickly...... It seems that the little devil also understands this.
At the same time, these two devils can't fight positional warfare, they can't charge, they can't fight bayonets, they can't do anything, so they can't do anything...... The only feasible thing is probably to bully the unarmed common people! However, it is still feasible to let these two devils defend the county seat under the supervision of the little devils. After all, from a psychological point of view, relying on the county city wall, this will make people feel relatively safer, coupled with the supervision and oppression of the little devils, once something happens, I believe that these two devils can still resist for a while.
There are two reasons why only small steel cannons are brought, not even mountain artillery: First, small steel cannons are easy to carry, can march quickly, and are convenient for urgent and timely reinforcements. But mountain cannons and the like are much heavier and not easy to carry. Even if the little devil has a car to pull, but the problem is that because of the outstanding achievements of the commando regiment's military engineering team behind enemy lines, the little devil's car often tastes * in the middle of the road, so the little devil thinks that he will definitely encounter the * of the martial arts team along the way. So, instead of letting heavy weapons become chicken ribs halfway through the roadβwhen the time comes, they will pull heavy weapons and leave, or drop them, what are they not chicken ribs?
Second, although heavy weapons are not conducive to transportation, they still have a great advantage in being placed in the county town to assist in the defense of the county, and at the very least, they can form a huge firepower strike against long-range targets...... This can be regarded as waste utilization in this choice!
And the reason for the above is that the main reason is that whether it is the little devil in the county seat of Baoyuan County or the main force of the little devil from Santie City, they all subjectively think: First, Majiaao is more than 20 miles away from Baoyuan County, even if someone attacks Baoyuan County and puts Baoyuan County in crisis, they can return to Baoyuan County within an hour.
Second, although the main force of the little devils from Santie City was temporarily blocked at Majiaao, the main force of the little devils did not attack with all their strength in terms of reducing casualties, but waited for the front and rear attacks. Because the little devils don't want to waste their troops in this kind of small-scale blocking war that they think is composed of local armed forces, if they really want to fight, they must go deep into the base area and find the main force of the Eighth Route Army to fight.
Otherwise, under the full attack of tens of thousands of little devils, plus many heavy weapons, it is not said whether the main regiment and the independent regiment can fight until now, but they will definitely not be able to hold it...... By the way: The current anti-Japanese drama is really harmful, making many teenagers think that the eight-year anti-Japanese war was like a child's play, but in fact, it ...... Alas~!Don't talk about this, lest you be angry and can't write it.
To put it bluntly, the little devil still looks down on the Eighth Route Army subjectively, and still thinks that he is invincible in the world...... To be fair, when facing the national army on the frontal battlefield, so far, they are basically the victorious side, which makes it inevitable that the little devils will develop this arrogant mentality. However, they have not fought many major battles with the Eighth Route Army, so they don't know much about the Eighth Route Army, so they naturally think that the Eighth Route Army is inferior to the National Army in terms of personnel training and weaponry, so how can they win them...... Personally, I think that it was not until after the outbreak of the Hundred Regiments War that the little devils really realized the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and began to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army.
"How many little devils and second devils are left in the county?"
"Since the little devils in Santie City walked out of Santie City, the little devils and the second devils in Baoyuan County have begun to shrink in the county, and even, even the plainclothes team of the two devils are not allowed to go out, putting on a stubborn posture, just waiting for their main force to arrive. Therefore, now, there are about 800 little devils in the county, and there are many second devils. β
Zhang Qingshan nodded, took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the little devil should have set off for almost half an hour, right?"
"From the moment the last little devil left the gate of the county seat, to now...... More than twenty-seven minutes have passed. β
Zhang Qingshan glanced approvingly at Chen Xin, who was speaking, and expressed great satisfaction with Chen Xin's careful and cautious attitude and execution.
stood up, patted Chen Xin on the shoulder, walked to the top of the mountain, took the telescope from Sun Bingcheng's hand, and carefully watched the movements in the county.
At this time, there was chaos in the county, of course, in this chaos, the common people only accounted for a little, and more of them were the little devils and the second devils who were deploying troops to defend the various city gates. Among them, half of the men and horses are using the terrain and sandbags in the county to build temporary fortifications......
"It seems that the little devil also knows that he is nervous. β
"Can you not be nervous?" Zhang Qingshan put down the binoculars and smiled at Tian Guozhong: "In order to wait for reinforcements, they have always been tolerant and even accommodating to our assault group, which can be felt from their very cooperative restraint of their subordinates not to harm women." Now, they are finally looking forward to the main reinforcements, and they naturally hope that the main force can arrive safely and smoothly. But ......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help laughing and said, "But the 'boom' and the thunder on the ground made the little devil's expectations come to naught." In addition, now that they have to send most of the main force to reinforce Majiaao, the remaining little devils can be said to be the weakest time after the little devils occupy here, and the little devils will naturally be very nervous. β
"Lao Tian, believe it or not, the current little devil must be thinking in his heart: God bless, the Eighth Route Army must not attack the county seat at this critical moment, otherwise it will be bad...... There must be a lot of little devils thinking: No matter how you provoke now, Lao Tzu will endure it, but you wait, wait for the arrival of the main force, see how Lao Tzu seeks revenge on you, and vent the guilt suppressed by your assault regiment during this time...... Lao Tian, what do you think of my thoughts? Hey, hey, if I were a little devil, I must be thinking so at this moment. β
It is precisely because of this that the little devils have shrunk their forces so much in the past few days, so that the assault regiment has touched their eyes, and they probably don't know.
"You, you......" The others had already laughed, but Tian Guozhong didn't hold back in the end, pointed at Zhang Qingshan and shook his head, and laughed......
There was talk and laughter, time flew by, and soon, it came to about three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Have you eaten and drunk enough, comrades?" was about to attack Baoyuan County, and Zhang Qingshan called several battalion commanders who participated in the battle...... Although Zhang Qingshan was still the instructor of the assault company, he was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in this battle, and although his position and position seemed to be mismatched, it also directly showed Zhang Qingshan's ability and the division's recognition of him, as well as how much attention was paid to this battle.
"They're all well fed and drunk. Several battalion commanders are also veterans, and they are not the first time to attack the city, so naturally there is no nervousness, and they all immediately replied with a smile.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, and everything that should be deployed has been deployed. However, I would like to emphasize one point: the main purpose of everything is to cooperate with the assault company to capture and hold and then transfer the ammunition depot of the little devils. β
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Okay! Then, according to the advance deployment, each battalion will enter the attack position within twenty-five minutes...... It was now past 3:30 p.m., and I ordered all battalions to launch a general assault on the county seat of Baoyuan County at 3:40 p.m. β
"Yes! β
"Please"
