"Lao Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Lao Tian, it's too late to say more, I'll explain to you later. After speaking, he personally made a phone call, and the content was very clear: First, the second battalion and the third company withdrew, and together with the first company and the second company, they retreated to the second line of defense, but they must withstand the attack of the little devils from the front, and they must not retreat without an order, and they must immediately act according to the order. The second was to move that pocket formation to a hundred meters behind the fourth company of the second battalion. Tell the Fourth Company again that you must not take a step back without an order, but you must not hesitate to receive an order, otherwise, you will be subject to military law.

In other words, the previous plan will be adjusted: it was originally intended to ambush the attack of the little devils in the front, and now it is an ambush on the flank, which is equivalent to reversing the priority and priority. However, fortunately, everyone has been prepared for such a change for a long time, so there will be no burden.

After the order was issued, Zhang Qingshan ordered the headquarters to retreat to the north city gate.

"Lao Zhang, what did you find?" As the people in the headquarters walked towards the north city gate, Tian Guozhong gave Zhang Qingshan a cigarette and asked, "Why did you suddenly give such an order?" ”

Zhang Qingshan stopped his pace, turned around and pointed in the direction of the fourth company that was still fighting in the southeast, and said, "Lao Tian, take a closer look, do you think it was a feint attack by the little devil?"

Then he pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said, "Look at the place again, do you think the battle there looks like a feint?"

took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Since the two places don't look like feints, it can only explain one problem......

Before Zhang Qingshan's words were finished, he saw Tian Guozhong say in a deep voice with some shock: "Two prongs!"

"Yes, the little devil is going to give us both ways. ”

Although there is no intelligence, and it is impossible to see the scene, but with the soldiers' sensitivity to war and rich combat command experience, everyone can still see the real tactics of the little devil - if you can't see it until now, then there is a problem.

The commanders of the little devils must have also analyzed the various conditions on the side of the assault regiment, and naturally it was easy to judge the key points and weak points of the assault regiment's defense, so that the little devils not only could not be easily fooled, but also made targeted tactical arrangements.

It was precisely because of this arrangement that Zhang Qingshan and them had an illusion at the beginning: looking at the battle with artillery fire and earth-shattering sound on the defensive line of the four companies in the southeast, it was easy for Zhang Qingshan and them to think that it was the main attack of the little devils.

And now it is equally easy to judge that the tactics of the little devil are two-pronged, and it is also because when the artillery fire on the frontal battlefield shook the sky, the degree of fighting between the two sides on the position of the fourth company not only did not weaken, but became more and more intense. In this way, it is natural to know the tactics of the little devil, even if the little devil may be stepping up the attack on the position of the fourth company, in order to contain the strength of the assault regiment, but this does not have much effect on the assault regiment, just because although the assault regiment did not know the tactics of the little devil at the beginning, but, in the same way, the little devil also did not know the tactical arrangements of the assault regiment in this battle.

In particular, the encirclement in that movement can be said to make all the intrigues of the little devils useless.

And now, the tactics of the little devil have been exposed in front of Zhang Qingshan and others, but the tactics of the assault group, especially the encirclement tactics in that movement, have not been known to the little devil at all. On the contrary, the little devil had a wrong citrus: he felt that he had seen through the tactical arrangement of the assault regiment, or that the current situation was exactly the same as everyone had analyzed the tactics of the assault regiment in advance, which made the little devil feel like he was winning. In this way, it will also be easier to implement encirclement tactics.

"However, in such a fierce battle, I'm afraid that the Fourth Company won't last long, so should I send some reinforcements to the Fourth Company?"

"I want to too!" Zhang Qingshan sighed and said, "However, we are now short of troops, and we really can't send extra troops." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan looked at the direction of the battle of the fourth company, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Besides, the main purpose of our tactics this time is to ambush the little devils, suppress their arrogance, and make them have scruples, so as not to cause greater damage to our assault group and the surrounding people unscrupulously, so this encirclement must be firm, and the strength cannot be reduced at all...... Otherwise, how simple would it be for us to retreat directly with the wounded, so why bother to teach the little devil a lesson before leaving?"

In this regard, Tian Guozhong nodded in agreement, but looking at the fierce explosions and continuous gunfire on the side of the fourth company, it all showed how fierce the battle there was, which made Tian Guozhong very worried and distressed.

"Then draw a link from the front?"

"Resolutely no!" Zhang Qingshan refused before giving an explanation: "We have limited troops now, and we don't have such a big appetite to swallow so many little devils at once." Now that the little devil is divided into two places, he wants to attack us left and right and force us to retreat. Well, this is also a great opportunity for us to teach the little devil a lesson. And if you want to eat one of the little devils, or hurt one of the little devils, you must first make sure that these two little devils can't gather. Now, since we have chosen to clean up this group of little devils in the southeast, we must stop the little devils in the front...... Lao Tian, to be honest, I think that without the geographical advantage and the advantage of combat space movement, relying on three companies to block the little devils head-on is very dangerous in itself, and if one company is drawn from it now, I am afraid that the remaining two companies will not be able to hold out a few times at all. At that time, I'm afraid that as soon as our side surrounded the little devils in the southeast, the little devils in front of us would already rush over. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan made a gesture of please, and the two continued to communicate as they walked.

"Rather than being likely to be attacked by the enemy at that time and unable to walk if you want to, it's better to fight...... As long as these three companies hold on to the frontal battlefield for half an hour, even if we don't eat all the little devils in the southeast, we are still sure that we will inflict heavy damage on them. In this way, our operational purpose of this battle has been achieved...... Lao Tian, I didn't say you, you are really a bit of a woman's kindness sometimes. Don't be afraid of sacrifice, let alone reluctant to do this and that, you know, as long as it is beneficial to fight the little devil, you can exchange the little devil for a bigger blow at the smallest price, not to mention others, even my life can be sacrificed. ”

Tian Guozhong glanced at Zhang Qingshan, nodded, and continued to walk, but in his heart he had a higher understanding of Zhang Qingshan's ruthlessness-Ci is not in charge of the army! This is what he said at this time: not a single soldier can be wasted when it is time to keep it, and when it is time to fill it with human life, he can not take human life seriously, and even give up his own life - this is war!

And Zhang Qingshan commanded loudly and sent people to urge everyone to speed up their actions: if you don't save a second, it is very likely that one less comrade will shed blood and sacrifice, because everyone's current safety and time are all exchanged for their own blood and sacrifice by comrades on the frontal battlefield.

And what best reflects Zhang Qingshan's heartache and resoluteness at this time is that in the end, he actually said, "Whoever dares to delay without reason is taking the lives of his comrades seriously." But don't let Lao Tzu find out, otherwise, Lao Tzu swore that he would definitely kill him with his own hands. ”...... Although he has gone through so many hardships, although he is already the head of the regiment, the blood in his bones is still surging.

And what best reflects Zhang Qingshan's courage, firmness and fear of death is that when everyone learned that Zhang Qingshan was going to the front line to command the ambush in person, they tried their best to stop it, but Zhang Qingshan insisted on going as the head of the regiment, and even scolded his mother. In the end, Zhang Qingshan's prestige is high, and others can't stop it.

However, Zhang Qingshan wanted Tian Guozhong to withdraw from the North City Gate with the personnel of the command headquarters first, but Tian Guozhong and others refused. Finally, let's go to the front line together. The reason also made Zhang Qingshan speechless -- since you, the regiment commander, can go, how can our subordinates not accompany you? Since you are not afraid of death as the regiment commander, are we subordinates afraid of death? What kind of little devils do you fight if you are afraid of death? If you are afraid of death, you should not be a soldier and eat food.

In the end, the regimental command was all on the front line.

At this time, the troops participating in the encirclement were: the first battalion of nearly 200 remnants, the three companies of the fifth battalion that remained the most intact, and the four companies of the second battalion, now plus the regimental guard platoon and others, a total strength of about 900 men...... This is the largest force that can be concentrated in this encirclement at present, and it can be said that Zhang Qingshan has concentrated all the forces that he can use here.

In terms of weapons and ammunition, it is very sufficient: because this is the battle to defend Sanqiao County, and it can even be said to be the last battle of Sanqiao County in this base defense battle, therefore, it is not economical at all, and it can even be said that it is quite a bit left behind, and the weapons and ammunition are sufficient. In particular, light and heavy machine guns were used by everyone in this encirclement.

In order to have a certain advantage in firepower, the assault regiment concentrated most of its light and heavy machine guns here. According to a rough count, there were eight heavy machine guns and twenty-seven light machine guns. It can be said that the assault regiment took out the last reserves in order to let it play to the most critical point. And now, it's time for the most critical time.

Since they were fighting according to the second set of plans, everyone naturally came to the ambush site that had already been selected, the Sanqiao County Food Bureau.

Sanqiao County Food Bureau, originally called the County Reserve Office, but the original name was rather awkward, so it was called the first grain bureau in line with the trend. Because Sanqiao County and its surrounding counties are barren land, this grain reserve was specially built in order to cope with the famine year.

At that time, they asked for a lot of money from above, and they looted a lot from the local squire, but fortunately, although the county magistrate and mayor at that time were greedy, they still had a bit of conscience and did not make a show, or they felt that it was not good to be too greedy, so they also put some effort into building this grain reserve. Therefore, this grain reserve office is not a tofu slag project, the construction is relatively strong, and the design is reasonable.

Originally, there were two brick and concrete buildings, a large open space around it, and a tall courtyard wall.

It's just that after so many battles, especially this artillery attack, this place is already in ruins: the courtyard wall is gone, the open space is full of potholes, the two four-story buildings, the one on the left has been bombed and only one and a half floors left, and the one twenty-five meters away on the right is better, but it is only two and a half stories.

Now, this is the final battleground of the battle......
