"What, you're still sulking?"

At the temporary headquarters of the county assault regiment in Sanqiao County, Zhang Qingshan sat in the courtyard, crossed Erlang's legs, smoked a cigarette, and silently looked at the starry sky, and didn't move for a long time, and he didn't even notice that Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong came to him.

Zhang Qingshan's guard, Sun Chengcheng, hurriedly brought two chairs over for them to sit on, and then silently retreated under the eaves.

"Yes, Lao Zhang, it's all gone, although nine excellent scouts were sacrificed, but the first and second companies did not suffer any losses, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. ”

Hearing the words of Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong, Zhang Qingshan, who came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile. Picking up the telegram on the small table in front of him, he said with a wry smile: "I am very happy to receive the news of the first and second companies, and I am even happier when I receive this telegram." But as I sat here, I suddenly realized that I couldn't be happier. ”

"Why?"

Zhang Qingshan put the telegram on the small table, picked up the cigarette on the small table, handed them each a stick, and then took out one himself.

lit the cigarette, took a breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke, Zhang Qingshan's voice was a little low: "I was mainly thinking, my grandparents have been poor all their lives, and my parents have also been poor all their lives, and in my generation, they are still poor." It's not that we don't work hard...... Lao Hu, don't speak, I know you have to talk about oppression and the like, but what I want to say is that in addition to internal reasons, there are also external reasons. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan took a deep breath of cigarette and continued: "My grandfather said that in the late Qing Dynasty, foreign devils bullied us Chinese. My father said that since the beginning of the Republic of China, we have still been bullied by foreign devils, and now, the little devils have intensified and directly sent troops to invade us, wanting us to destroy the country and exterminate the species. So I'm wondering, after we kill all the little devils, can we really live a prosperous and healthy life, especially if no foreigner dares to bully us?"

Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong glanced at each other, and they were a little speechless: People say that it is already great to take one step and see three steps, but you kid is good, just take a step and see the end. In other words, there is no such way as you to worry about it! We are now fighting hard with the little devils, and whether we can hold this small county town in the next moment is still to be said, you are good, think directly about what happened after driving away the little devils, and consider whether you will continue to be bullied by other foreign devils, which is really speechless.

"Ahem, ahem!"

After Hu Yingze coughed twice, he said, "Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you, well, why did you suddenly think so far?"

"Isn't it okay for me to be foolish?" Zhang Qingshan smiled, pointed to the starry sky, and said: "Looking at this starry sky, my mind seems to have opened up all of a sudden, and I can't help but think so far." ”

"By the way, you two are looking for me, what's the matter?"

"Hmm!" Tian Guozhong nodded, "That's right." The fourth battalion successfully blew up the transport convoy of the little devil middle route army, especially the bombs were blown up, I estimated that although the little devils in front of them were mechanized troops, there seemed to be few transport vehicles behind them, that is to say, the group of little devils in front of them was probably the vanguard, and they didn't carry much ammunition. And the little devil's left route army is basically just an ornament, and there is no time to do it, that is to say, only the transport convoy of the little devil's middle route army is probably responsible for transporting ammunition to the little devils in front of him...... The mouth is very dry, drink saliva and then talk about it. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Tian Guozhong hurriedly poured himself a glass of water, and after a few sips, he put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and continued: "And judging from the battle in the evening, the ammunition of this batch of little devils in front of me must be very consumed, and I dare not say anything else, but I am sure that with the amount of medicine carried by these little devils, I am afraid that they will not be able to support tomorrow's big war, at least, tomorrow's big war will definitely not be able to provide the amount of ammunition that is as indiscriminate as this evening." ”

As he spoke, Tian Guozhong took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "This has decided that there are only two ways for the little devil to fight tomorrow: the first is to fight the number of people! Take advantage of the advantage in numbers, fight for huge losses, and forcibly attack the city." The second is to besiege but not attack, and at least wait until the ammunition is replenished before continuing to besiege the city......"

After Tian Guozhong glanced at Zhang Qingshan, he saw that Zhang Qingshan was smoking a cigarette and was silent, obviously listening carefully, so he continued: "I personally think that the probability of the first situation is very small, because although the little devil has more troops than us in front of his eyes, the overall strength of the little devil is insufficient, far less than us, which determines that the little devil will not fight with us in numbers." Moreover, if the number of people alone is hard, the defenders will definitely take advantage of it, and even if they take this county seat, I am sure that without the support of artillery, they will pay at least two-thirds of the price. What's more, the most important thing is that the little devils have a great appetite this time, but if they come to our entire base area, and if they lose two or three thousand people just to seize our county seat, then not only will they not have the spare strength to go deeper into the base area, not to mention, but they will even be unable to defend our counterattack at all. ”

"And I think the second point is very likely, because for the above reasons, these little devils will have to wait until their army in the middle will come to meet them, so that, at least in terms of numbers, they are several times more numerous than us, and have an overwhelming advantage, and they can carry out various siege methods on the basis of the huge advantage in numbers. However, we can only defend passively, and in the face of huge pressure, we even have to take the initiative to give up this county ......"

Tian Guozhong picked up the water cup again, drank the rest of the water, and said to Zhang Qingshan with a smile: "Old Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Qingshan didn't sneer at this about the previous incident, and he was not in the mood to think about it now.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Qingshan took out another cigarette, lit it with the cigarette butt, and after stepping on the discarded cigarette butt, he said: "I agree with your analysis, however, as far as the siege is concerned, have you thought about it, according to the telegram of the fourth battalion, after the little devil army lost the help of the car, they could only walk on two legs, a distance of dozens of kilometers, plus they had to carry medicine and supplies on their shoulders, how could they have to walk for a day." And there are only about four or five thousand of these little devils in front of us, although there are about a few more than us, but the problem is, as far as the siege is concerned, they are not enough for a few thousand people, so how can they besiege us?"

Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong glanced at each other, frowned at the same time, and looked at Zhang Qingshan at the same time.

"Don't look at me, you two, although this question was raised by me after an in-depth analysis, to be honest, I don't know the answer for a while. While smiling bitterly, Zhang Qingshan's brows also furrowed.

"Could it be that the imps won't besiege us?"

As soon as Hu Yingze's question was raised, Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong shook their heads at the same time, and replied at the same time: "No!"

"Is it possible for them to bypass us and continue to go deeper into the base area?"

Hu Yingze was also in a hurry, otherwise, he would not have asked such a superficial question, so that Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong glanced at him at the same time, and they didn't bother to answer.

However, Hu Yingze was really not convinced, and said: "Don't think that the question I asked is a little stupid, but don't forget, the little devil's middle army is rushing to us." Once they arrive here, they can temporarily replenish the shells they carry to these little devils in front of the eyes, and then the Zhonglun army of the little devils can take over the task of these little devils in front of the eyes and continue to confront us. And these little devils in front of us can continue to go deep into our base area, we will not only be dragged here, but we may even do nothing, and the biggest possibility is that we will be eaten little by little by the middle army of the little devils. You must know that once the little devil's mid-lane army is replenished with ammunition, then you can rely on the equipment of the superior forces and sufficient ammunition to fight a good battle with us...... At the very least, it can also be used as a transit point, providing various guarantees to the right army of the little devils. ”

Tian Guozhong thought for a while, nodded, and said: "What the old man said is not unreasonable, but if the army on the right side of the little devil continues to go deeper, their shells will definitely be consumed very quickly, and when the time comes, how can they replenish it?"

"Don't forget, it's only a few hundred kilometers away from Santie City, and it won't take long for the little devil's plane to fly back and forth, and when the time comes, the plane will be airdropped. Although it may also be a drop in the bucket, as long as they are steady, it is really possible. What's more, the little devil can also use the middle route army to stay here as a transit station, or send reinforcements and come with sufficient supplies...... Anyway, the initiative is in their hands, and they have enough channels and manpower to replenish supplies, even soldiers. ”

"Ha!" Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "The old nonsense is right, but I think there is another possibility." ”

When the two stopped arguing and looked at each other, Zhang Qingshan said: "Don't forget, the fire of the fourth battalion not only burned most of the little devil's ammunition, but also other materials, such as food." ”

Tian Guozhong was taken aback, almost didn't stand up, and opened his mouth to ask: "Lao Zhang, do you mean that they will not only besiege the county seat, but also send troops to the surrounding areas to grab grain?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Qingshan nodded, and said with a straight face: "So, it is certain that the little devils will besiege us...... Huh~!"

As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan seemed to have thought of something, looked at Hu Yingze with some consternation, and asked: "Old Hu, what you just said is not to remind us not to stick to a county seat, otherwise we will lose the initiative and can only be beaten passively." And only by going out can we use guerrilla warfare to fight the little devils, and finally force them to obediently get out of the way by themselves, isn't that what it means?"

Hu Yingze was stunned by what he said, and said with a smile: "I didn't think of this, it's just that when I hear you mention it now, it seems to really mean something......"

However, Hu Yingze couldn't go on talking about it, and Tian Guozhong and Zhang Qingshan were also a little melancholy, because the three of them thought of an order: they must hold Sanqiao County for five days and give the rear base area five days...... In other words, if they want to fight guerrilla warfare with the little devils, it must be five days later.
