Chapter 785: The Battle for the County Town!
"Report!"
Just when Zhang Qingshan was puzzled by the sudden gunshots from the south gate of the county, the first communication soldier finally returned.
"Report to the regiment commander, the third battalion is attacking the enemy barracks, and has now captured the outside of the enemy barracks, and is concentrating its forces on attacking the inside of the enemy barracks. ”
This is the communications corps sent back by the third battalion.
Zhang Qingshan nodded and said: "Tell Battalion Commander Qi Zixuan that the enemy's military camp is not only an important military place, but also a symbol, taking the enemy's military camp will completely break the enemy's morale and resistance, and it must be taken as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!"
After the signal soldier ran back, Zhang Qingshan ordered the artillery to stop shelling, so as not to injure his own people by mistake. At the same time, let the second stunned man gather on his side with the artillery company.
Looking up at the south, I was still a little puzzled: in order to encircle the tactics of missing one, I really didn't arrange an ambush at the south gate of the county, just because I wanted to prevent the enemy from making a detour to my side, so I put a few guards. But the intensity of the gunfire can be heard by a few people at an impossible time. So, what's going on at the south gate of the county?
"Report!" A minute or so later, another communications soldier came running to report.
"Say!"
"Report to the regiment commander, the main force of the assault company is attacking the back door of the enemy's barracks, and at present, a gap has been opened from the back door of the enemy's barracks, but the enemy's resistance is very strong and the fighting is fierce...... In addition, the third platoon of the assault company was pursuing the little devil who broke through from the east gate of the barracks and fled to the south. ”
Zhang Qingshan's heart trembled, and he estimated: Could it be that the south gate was caused by the three platoons of the assault company chasing the little devil who escaped from the barracks?
"Listen to the gunfire from the south, but the result of a three-row pursuit?"
The signal soldier sent by the assault company listened carefully and said, "Report to the regiment commander, I can't be sure. But personally, I think it should be them. ”
This signal soldier is very smart: The principle of a signal soldier is to report truth-seeking, but he added a sentence to explain his personal intentions, so that it is not considered to be a violation of the most basic principle of a signal soldier.
"How many little devils escaped from the east gate of the barracks at that time?"
"It was too dark to see clearly, but I heard from the comrades who were on guard at the east gate at the time that there should be hundreds of people. ”
Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed: There were only about 40 people in the third platoon of the assault company, but they dared to pursue the little devils with no less than 100 people, which can only show one problem: the little devils have no intention of resisting and are exhausted. Otherwise, with the ferocity of the little devil, he will definitely turn around and fight back...... Of course, this is also the result of the general environment: the night is too dark, the county town has been breached, and there are gunshots everywhere, who can determine how many people are in the pursuing team? Moreover, even if the number of pursuing teams is small, as long as they stop, they may be dragged by the other side, and thus there is a possibility of being surrounded on all sides.
"You go back and tell Company Commander Zhao Shanhe that the assault company is the elite of the assault regiment, not only to ensure its own safety, but also to break into the enemy's barracks as soon as possible and join up with the three battalions that are attacking the enemy's barracks head-on...... It is necessary to take advantage of the enemy's panic and give full play to the tactics of flanking the front and rear. After a deep sigh, Zhang Qingshan added: "At the same time, tell the three platoons chasing the enemy, poor Kou Mo chase, just drive them out of the county seat, don't chase too far, but be eaten by the enemy." ”
"Yes!"
The second stunned man who had just run to Zhang Qingshan's side, and after the communication soldier ran back, he said to Zhang Qingshan with a smile: "Regiment leader, since everything is going well, shouldn't we enter the county seat?"
Zhang Qingshan glared at him, and said angrily: "As long as you kid is positive, you don't want to be Lao Tzu?" But you don't want to think about it, now, we are here in the temporary headquarters, can we move easily?"
"I know, but, regimental commander, if you continue to command here, I'll be fine anyway, just let me bring some soldiers in to help my comrades, okay?"
"What do you think?"
Looking at Zhang Qingshan's angry eyes, listening to these strange words, the two were stunned and understood: The head of the regiment must be in a bad mood, and he is sending it to the door to find scolding!
"Since you feel that you are idle and have nothing to do now, then you can take someone to guard me around here, if the enemy sneaks in, I will want you kid to walk around without eating. ”
"Okay!"
"What did you say?"
"Yes!"
After another half hour or so, suddenly, there was a faint cheer from the direction of the north of the county - so far away, and it could be heard in the sound of gunfire, you can see how enthusiastic and loud the cheers were. Then, combined with its direction, there can only be one meaning: the barracks of the little devils have been taken.
And the effect of this cheering is most obvious that after a minute or two, the density of gunfire in the county town begins to wane.
Zhang Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: as long as he took the little devil camp, it would indicate that the cornerstone of victory in this battle had been laid. At this time, I am afraid that the enemy will know that the barracks have been taken, and under this psychological pressure, I am afraid that what he is thinking about is no longer resistance, but how to escape, so as to save his life.
Sure enough!
After a few more minutes, the intensity of the gunfire, which had just decreased, suddenly began to increase.
Zhang Qingshan was not angry but happy, because with his experience, he could judge that the reason why such a thing happened was not that the enemy wanted to fight back or something else that was beneficial to the enemy, on the contrary, this was no longer for the enemy to fight, but for his own life to make a last fight: the enemy definitely wanted to break through and escape, so he would fight hard. And because the enemy is scattered in all corners of the county, these people are desperately trying to break through, and the gunfire will sound from all directions, and it will sound like the enemy is desperately resisting, and the gunfire is dense.
"Report!"
"Say!"
"Report to the regimental commander, the 1st and 2nd battalions have joined up and completely wiped out the enemy on the western section of the city wall, and now they are spreading out as a company, and will sweep from west to east. ”
"Okay!" Zhang Qingshan shouted yes, because this meant that the final elimination of the enemy began: "You immediately go back and tell the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander that you should not care about the lone enemy first, just deal with the enemy who is relatively in groups, but only need to disperse the enemy, and while clearing the county seat as soon as possible, you must not let those scattered enemies form a group again." ”
"Yes!"
Immediately, Zhang Qingshan ordered a signal soldier behind him: "You go to the county seat immediately, find the assault company, and tell Zhao Shanhe, the company commander, if you have taken most of the enemy's military camp, immediately lead the assault company to the east gate of the county seat, and if the third platoon of the assault company has withdrawn to the east gate, you will defend the east gate with the third platoon." If the third platoon pursues out, immediately go to reinforce the third platoon. Do not try to defeat the fleeing enemy, but be sure to pay attention to the defense of the east gate of the county. ”
"Yes!"
After another hour or so, it was already dark, and the gunfire in the county town was already scarce. The enemy's barracks had been completely taken, and the 1st and 2nd battalions swept through the county town in companies. After the assault company joined up with its three platoons, it was defending at the east gate...... Everything is going well.
Zhang Qingshan felt that he could enter the city.
But before he could speak, suddenly, there was a gunshot at the break in the north gate where he was.
"Bang!
"There are enemies!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
First two gunshots rang out, followed by a shout from the soldiers on guard at the breach. As soon as he finished shouting, he heard a dense burst of gunfire.
Zhang Qingshan raised his head and looked at it with burning eyes, but saw a large group of two devils, who were about to break out of the gap.
Don't think about it, it must be that this group of two devils saw that there had been no gunshots here, thinking that there would be no one to guard here, and even if there were people, the number would definitely not be too much, so they planned to break out from here.
Zhang Qingshan took out the box cannon, waved his hand forward, and shouted: "A platoon of the artillery company and the back of the artillery hall, the rest of the comrades, follow me!"
This time, in view of the lesson of the last time, Zhang Qingshan had already taken precautions.
No, as soon as he saw that Sun Bingcheng was about to come up, Zhang Qingshan pushed him away with his left hand and rushed forward. But Sun Bingcheng, who was frightened, immediately turned white, shouted, "The head of the regiment is waiting for me", took the gun, and hurriedly chased after him.
At the breach, there was only one squad of soldiers on guard, and the enemy was pressed by a group, at least more than a hundred people. Relying on the large number of people and guns, at the beginning, the soldiers of this squad who did fight were almost powerless to fight back - if it weren't for the grenades that didn't dare to get too close, I am afraid that in such a short time, the two devils would have rushed out. However, this place was only about a mile away from where Zhang Qingshan was before, and he rushed over and could arrive soon.
No, just when these two devils had rushed to a distance of less than fifteen meters from the break, Zhang Qingshan and the others arrived in time...... Behind Zhang Qingshan there was not only a platoon of soldiers, but also two platoons of the artillery company itself that were responsible for protecting the artillery. Although one platoon was left to protect the rear of the artillery hall, at this time, Zhang Qingshan also had two platoons in his hands, adding up to more than 80 people, and it was enough to fight more than 100 two devils.
It's just that what Zhang Qingshan didn't expect was that in his impression, he would only bully ordinary people, and the courage and courage to fight were not as good as the bandits in front of them. Zhang Qingshan felt very surprised: If you are really not afraid of death, how can you be two devils?
After two or three minutes of firing at each other, the enemy was indeed fighting to the death. At first, they were repelled by Zhang Qingshan's sudden arrival, but with the encouragement of their commander's yelling and shouting, these two devils not only resisted, but also rushed forward while fighting. When did the two devils fight so bravely?
"Regiment Commander, you are sitting here, I rushed over with my comrades and promised to drive back these two devils of the dog. I don't know when, the second stunned man rushed to Zhang Qingshan's side, glared at the two devils, and shouted for orders!
Zhang Qingshan scattered the words 'rush back' in his mind, and immediately knew why these two devils fought so bravely......
