Although the main force of the little devils has encircled the county seat of Sanqiao County, and even the middle army of the little devils has already arrived and has sufficient troops, but it has been a few days, and the little devils have not launched a large-scale attack on the county seat of Sanqiao, but small-scale nuisances have continued.

The reason for this situation is actually easy to judge: the little devils lack ammunition. Especially the cannonballs, which are indispensable in modern siege warfare, and the little devils are well-armed, which is well reflected in this.

But at the same time, it also shows that the dependence of modern warfare on weapons is also constantly strengthening, which is not even twice as large as the defenders of the commando regiment in the city, although the little devils are now sufficient, even twice the defenders of the assault regiment in the city, but they still dare not attack rashly, because of the lack of ammunition, it can be seen how much the little devils rely on weapons.

Of course, this is a bit harsh for the assault regiment, but who said that the assault regiment is not as equipped as others, and it can risk its life, otherwise, there is no spirit to die, and the weapons are much inferior to the other party, how can this battle be fought?

And in the face of the situation of the little devil, although Zhang Qingshan and they have already understood this, there is no good way to take advantage of your illness to kill you. The sneak attack troops sent earlier almost fell into the trap of the little devil, it can be seen that the little devil has not only judged this, but also made detailed precautions, in this case, if you still take the risk of sneak attack, it is the commander's incompetence.

The only thing that can be done is to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the little devils is concentrated outside the city, and on the way to the little devils' transport convoy, send people to destroy as much as possible, hoping to kill the little devils' transport convoys, so as to break the little devils' plan to wait until the ammunition is transported before attacking the city. However, everyone understands that the little devil is not a fool, since the commando regiment can think of it, and has done it more than once before, no matter how stupid the little devil is, this time he will definitely be prepared accordingly, and its force to protect the convoy must not be something that some guerrillas, militia, or even a small number of troops can kill.

At this time, the assault regiment was also short of troops, and it was impossible to rule out more troops outside the city, so they could only stare dryly...... You can't draw forces from the city anymore, otherwise, if the strength is too weak, not to mention that the little devils can easily attack the city, even if the street battles that were well prepared before, they will definitely be greatly reduced due to the lack of manpower...

In fact, after some deliberation by Zhang Qingshan and others, the tactical focus of the defense of Sanqiao County has actually changed from defending the city to street fighting. Because everyone understands that no matter how strong the city wall is, it will definitely not be able to hold on for long in the face of the little devils with sufficient ammunition, especially when there are enough shells.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan agreed to Liu Bing's previous big explosion, although it killed many little devils, and also successfully hit the morale of the little devils, so that they had to end this attack in a hurry, but the problem is that this kind of play is equivalent to killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and the integrity of the city wall has been greatly damaged, and it cannot be repaired in a short period of time.

Instead of this, it is better to let the little devils in and fight with them on the street at the pass of the city wall, which has at least two advantages: First, Zhang Qingshan and they have built a large number of fortifications in the city, all of which are prepared for street fighting, and the little devils will inevitably pay a huge price if they want to break through these fortifications. Once the forces of the little devils are consumed too much here, they will inevitably not be able to carry out the next step -- attacking the hinterland of the base areas, thus achieving the ultimate goal of the entire campaign: to preserve the basic integrity of the base areas, and to prevent the lives and property of the people in the base areas and the party and government organs from being damaged.

The second is that in street fighting, the artillery power of the little devil will be suppressed to a minimum: street fighting is a hand-to-hand combat, and the artillery fire of small steel cannons is far less powerful than the artillery fire that gathers together and hits the target from a distance without scruples. Moreover, the generality of the little devil's marksmanship is better than that of this side, but the advantage of marksmanship in close combat will be greatly weakened -- at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, how many soldiers will miss the target? On the contrary, from a distance of about two hundred meters, someone will really miss the target, and this is one of the advantages of close combat.

Anyway, although the melee combat is extremely brutal and the sacrifice rate is also very large, however, the benefits are even greater, especially for the commando on the defending side. To tell the truth, not to mention Zhang Qingshan, even Hu Yingze felt that in this battle, close combat was definitely more beneficial than defending the city, so it was unanimously agreed by everyone to build so many fortifications in Sanqiao County in advance.

Besides, the little devils have much more troops than the assault regiment, and the assault regiment can't hold it just by thinking about defending the city wall. Rather than this, it is better to fight in the streets, at least it can give the little devil the maximum damage, which is definitely much greater than the death rate of the little devil by defending the city wall...... Defending the city wall is basically equivalent to being bombed, and in street fighting, the little devil must send troops to attack.

Now, in the face of the little devil's situation, which is clearly waiting for the ammunition to be replenished, Zhang Qingshan and they have no good way to deal with it, but they can't help but do something, they can't just wait for the little devil's shells to fall on their heads, right?

But the question is, what should I do?

No one thought of a good way, so they could only do it in a hurry.

But at this moment, the appearance of the main force made Zhang Qingshan and others shine: the situation finally improved.

As mentioned earlier, the combined force composed of the main regiment and the new regiment defeated the left army of the little devils who were the main force of the two devils, and then the new regiment continued to pursue the defeated two devils like sheep, while the main regiment quickly reinforced Qinglong Mountain.

However, when the main force arrived at Qinglong Mountain, not to mention that the main force of the little devil's middle road army had already arrived outside Sanqiao County, even the brigade left behind before had also been driven to Sanqiao County because of the arrival of the middle road army...... The little devil was really arrogant and arrogant, thinking that in the face of his powerful military force, the Eighth Route Army was not vulnerable at all, and he did not consider what lone army went deeper, so he even took the initiative to take back the 'nails' on the retreat road, the purpose was obviously to concentrate all the forces and continue to implement the previous big plan after the battle.

And the fourth battalion paid a lot of casualties because of the previous battle that dragged the little devil's middle army, and the whole battalion only had about one-third of the strength left, and it was unable to fight again, so it could only watch the little devils go away and could not do anything.

At this time, the arrival of the main regiment, for the 4th battalion, was a little late.

However, for Zhang Qingshan and others, who are worried about the serious shortage of troops, it is really a force in the snow.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan, as the commander-in-chief of the premise, unceremoniously ordered the main force to immediately stand by in Qinglong Mountain and repair it by the way.

In Zhang Qingshan's plan, next, the task of the main regiment and the fourth battalion was to eliminate the convoy of little devils transporting ammunition.

What made Zhang Qingshan and others dumbfounded was that the little devil's convoy did not appear, but the little devil's plane has been flying here diligently every day recently.

It is normal for little devil planes to participate in the war, and everyone has long been mentally prepared, but the problem is that these little devil planes flying around did not throw a * into Sanqiao County, let alone strafe a bullet down.

This made Zhang Qingshan and the others very puzzled, so they naturally sent scouts to investigate: the little devil plane flew around every day, and it didn't come to attack, what the hell was it doing...... Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Zhang Qingshan and others don't know much about airplanes, if it weren't for the fact that a special lecturer had taught them before, Zhang Qingshan and they wouldn't know that airplanes are also divided into fighters and bombers.

Eventually, a scout risked his life and sent back the news that everyone was depressed: the little devil's planes flew around and didn't drop on Sanqiao County*, not because of mercy, but because these planes were either transport planes or bombers, and they were all delivering ammunition to the little devils. It was only because the drop point was in a relatively flat place more than two miles outside Sanqiao County, and it could not be seen from Sanqiao County, so Zhang Qingshan and they were puzzled.

The little devil didn't use the transport convoy, but used a more time-consuming and labor-intensive plane to deliver, which opened the eyes of Zhang Qingshan and others, but they were helpless, who called Zhang Qingshan They don't talk about anti-aircraft guns, even anti-aircraft machine guns are not available, and the distance is far away, so they can only stare dryly...... Send troops to a sneak attack, the little devil must have been prepared, and the success of the sneak attack is not great. On the other hand, even if you succeed once, but the next time, the little devil casually changes a drop point, do you still want to go to the sneak attack? Do you really think that the little devil is a pig, and you sneak attack once or twice, and the third time you don't know how to plan and design an ambush circle?

Therefore, there is little point in sneaking up on the drop point, and there is no need to sacrifice rare excellent fighters in vain. Then, you can really only stare dryly.

Well, since there is no way to take your trick, however, Lao Tzu also has a big trick that makes you depressed.

Since the original planned tasks of the fourth battalion and the main regiment did not exist, but such a group of soldiers and horses could not be left idle, Zhang Qingshan gave an order to the main regiment and the fourth battalion after thinking about it.

The remaining soldiers of the fourth battalion immediately followed the first and second companies of the second battalion who were looking for the loopholes of the little devils outside the city, and Peng Peng, the commander of the fourth battalion, served as the commander-in-chief of this temporary action team, which was specially responsible for dealing with the little devils behind the little devil camp, that is, dragging the little devils back at all times.

At the same time, we must also be ready to support Li Jing at any time.

And the task of the main regiment is simpler: immediately go to meet with the three battalions of the assault regiment, the assault company, the artillery company and other forces, form an action brigade, wait for orders, and be ready to carry out the last big move - attack the ammunition depot of the little devils in the county. Give the little devils a draw from the bottom of the kettle, so as to completely shatter the dream of these little devils who want to attack the hinterland of the base area, and at the same time, it can also make all battles end early, and reserve the capital for the assault group and others to continue to fight devils.

In this way, both sides are waiting and preparing to see who can hold out to the end and who will achieve the final victory......
