Tian Guozhong saw that the two of them wanted to talk a little and stopped, so he smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, even if you say it wrong, I won't blame you, but if you say it right, it will be counted as your credit." ”

Hearing this, Xue Honggui said: "Chief of Staff, I think I still insist on what Xiao Feng analyzed at the beginning, from the little devil to set up the Lin family manor as a temporary ammunition depot and a temporary shelter for wounded soldiers, then it is very likely that the little devil will also set up this place as a temporary general headquarters." ”

"Are there any other reasons besides the ones you mentioned earlier?"

"Yes!"

At this time, Tian Guozhong was really a little curious about the reason why Xue Honggui was so confident, because he didn't expect it for a while, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect Xue Honggui to really think of other reasons.

Of course, it was naturally impossible for Tian Guozhong's city to show it, but he nodded with a smile and said, "Tell me!"

"In addition to the reasons for the emptiness and walls of the Lin Family Manor mentioned earlier, there is another point that I suddenly thought of when I was observing the movements of the little devil by myself just now, that is, the problem of strength and convenience. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Tian Guozhong listening confidently, Xue Honggui's confidence and courage were much greater.

"Although the strength of the little devils is twice that of us—if you count the guerrillas and militia, the strength of the little devils is almost twice as strong as the commando regiment defenders. But the problem is, they are the besieging side, and we are the defending side...... And in street fighting, the little devils must attack with more troops than we do, otherwise they will lose sight of one or the other. And in this way, it will inevitably cause the little devil's troops to not be as sufficient as they seem. ”

"Anyway, if the little devil wants to build the Lin Family Manor into a temporary transit station and a shelter for wounded soldiers, he will inevitably send some troops to defend the Lin Family Manor. At the same time, the little devil will inevitably set up a temporary general headquarters, judging from the current battle situation and the problem of distance, this temporary command center is of course best set up in the county town that has been occupied, so as to avoid scheduling and other problems due to the problem of distance, especially in terms of time saving, after all, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the distance is far away, and it is not as strong as the nearest command. And if the little devil wants to set up the temporary headquarters in the city, no matter where it is set up, he must send heavy troops to protect it. So, anyway, the Lin family manor has to send troops to protect, and the temporary command headquarters has to send troops to protect, rather than sending troops at both ends to protect, thus wasting troops, it is better to combine them into one, in this way, not only to save troops, but also because the Lin family manor's own conditions and the distance from the battlefield are the most suitable for these three points, so, I think the little devil will eventually set up the temporary general headquarters in the Lin family manor. ”

"Okay! That's a great analysis. ”

Xue Honggui may be a little nervous, so these words seem a little verbose, but what he said is very reasonable, Tian Guozhong, as the chief of staff, looked at this issue from a military point of view, and naturally woke up at a point. For a squad leader to have such insight and ability, he is naturally very happy, and he will not be stingy to cheer him on.

"Chief of Staff, look, the little devil really began to transfer the wounded soldiers to the Lin family's manor. ”

Tian Guozhong picked up the binoculars and took a look, and saw at a glance that the gate of the Lin family manor was wide open, and a large group of little devils were either carrying the wounded or helping the wounded, and were walking towards the Lin family manor. And the medical staff in the Lin family manor rushed out quickly...... Obviously, these wounded should have been elsewhere, but now they were all sent to the Lin family manor. It is also convenient to manage and protect.

"Okay! Now that it has been determined that the little devil has used the Lin family manor as a temporary but necessary storage place and a shelter for wounded soldiers, the next step is to determine whether the little devil will set up the temporary general headquarters here, which will trouble the comrades present. ”

"Chief of Staff, you can rest assured that all the soldiers of our squad will ensure that they will complete the task, and they will send a letter to the regiment headquarters as soon as there is a situation. ”

"Okay! I'll go back to the regiment headquarters first and report the situation here to the regiment headquarters......" As he spoke, Tian Guozhong stood up and cheered everyone on: "I hope everyone is cautious, and must not be impulsive, let alone startled...... After the war, I personally asked for credit for all the comrades in your class, and I will definitely invite you to drink. When the time comes, I hope that all of you will participate. ”

"That's great, thank you, Chief of Staff. ”

When he returned to the regiment headquarters, Tian Guozhong told him about the matter, and Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze were greatly excited.

But then there were two big problems that gave the three of them a headache.

The first is that if you want to end the Lin family manor that is currently occupied by the little devils, you must send troops over. Moreover, it is necessary to prepare for the worst, that is, to prepare for the situation that the little devils put the ammunition depot, the shelter for wounded soldiers, and the temporary high command in the Lin family manor, and then they will inevitably be heavily guarded and guarded. And if you want to kill all the little devils in the Lin family manor under such circumstances, I am afraid that the whole assault regiment will have to attack.

However, if it is a surprise sneak attack, although the number of troops can be much smaller, it will also require a battalion anyway.

At this time, the assault regiment's troops in Sanqiao County were already stretched thin because of the constant transfers, and where could they temporarily draw out a battalion of troops? Without soldiers, all the plans were just talk on paper, just think about it.

After some urgent discussions, the three unanimously decided to pull back the first and second companies of the second battalion, which had been fighting guerrillas behind the base camp of the little devils, from outside the city, and then form a special assault brigade with the fifth battalion to kill the little devils in the Lin family's manor and blow up their ammunition depot.

The second battalion's original defense of the east gate, because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the little devil has never been in the posture of attacking the east gate. The 500 guerrillas plus a platoon of the 2nd Battalion were transferred out of the 5th Battalion, and the defensive area could only be handed over to the guerrilla brigade to send half of the men and horses and the 2nd Battalion to send a company to defend together...... Although there is a certain risk in doing so, the question is, how can there be absolutely safe things in the world, let alone in war, if you don't take some risks, then it is still called war?

Besides, the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade originally had 1,000 people, but this time 500 people were selected, and although the overall strength was not as good as that of a battalion, it still came out of the flames of war, and with such strong support from the assault regiment, its strength has increased a lot. Moreover, the East Gate itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with these three hundred people defending, condescending, even if the little devil wants to take the East Gate, it is definitely not possible to win it in one go. When the time comes, if something really happens at the east gate, as long as the guerrilla brigade holds for half an hour, the regimental headquarters can also send a guard platoon and the 500 militia in reserve.

Therefore, this trick seems dangerous, but in fact, the danger factor is not as great as everyone thinks.

The problem is that this creates a much bigger problem: the previous plan has to be drastically adjusted. This is a taboo in the military family of changing the order of the day - everyone knows that changing generals in battle is a taboo for the soldiers, not to mention the more serious change of the order of the day, and a bad one will lead to the possibility of losing the whole game.

But if it is not changed, this sneak attack plan will not be able to achieve the best effect: the original plan itself was designated around the tactics of guerrilla warfare, but now it is necessary to make it clear that the sneak attack on the little devils in the Lin family's manor will inevitably be a fire fight at that time. Even if it really attacks, the little devil will definitely resist desperately while sending heavy troops to relieve the siege, and the assault regiment must be ready to respond, but there is no extra troops, so it can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, so can it not affect the previous combat deployment?

Such a contradiction naturally gave the three of them a headache.

Tian Guozhong, the chief of staff, proposed a compromise solution: Other places will remain unchanged for the time being, but the first battalion must hold on to it, at least until dark.

In this way, not only can it effectively contain the main force of the little devil, but at the same time, it will also allow Zhixing to use the night to counterattack the plan. Moreover, it can also be used to use the night to return the first and second companies of the second battalion from the north gate to the city...... Not to mention anything else, it would take an hour or two just to send people outside the city to deliver news to the first and second companies.

It's already past 2:46 p.m. In other words, the battle between the two sides has been fought for six hours from 8:13 in the morning to the present, and it will continue to fight until dark before a temporary truce is possible...... Of course, this is only on the surface, because, according to Zhang Qingshan's original plan, after the early morning, all the troops of the assault regiment will take advantage of the night to counterattack, use the cover of night to sneak attack the little devils, and strive to recapture the positions lost during the day. After all, in the night, some of the little devils' firepower advantages will definitely not be brought into play, such as cannons.

Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze agreed with Tian Guozhong's proposal, but just when the three of them were about to discuss this proposal further, they received an air defense alert and the little devil's plane came to bomb it.

Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong, each holding a light machine gun, strafed the little devil's bomber, although they did not shoot down the little devil's bomber, but it also reflected the three of them are not afraid of death, and the determination to resist the war to the end.

However, when the little devil bomber finished bombing and flew away, Zhang Qingshan looked at the little devil bomber in the distance and was silent for a long time. This made Hu Yingze, who was preparing to go to the front line to have a look, feel strange.

But Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and shouted: "Lao Tian, your proposal must be changed!"

Tian Guozhong hurriedly followed Zhang Qingshan into the headquarters, and Hu Yingze could only let others go to the front line to see the situation for him, after all, this plan was too important, and the bombing had ended, no matter what the result was, it had become a fact, and he could only say that he would go in person to boost morale...... It is clear which is more important at a glance.

And the reason why Zhang Qingshan shouted so loudly was not because he opposed Tian Guozhong's plan, but because he thought that the strength of this plan was not enough, and if it was implemented, it was likely to fail to achieve the expected results.

Zhang Qingshan decided that since the little devil has broken through the city wall, then there is no need for everyone to fight too old-fashioned, and let a large number of troops not be mobilized, instead of squeezing a little from here, drawing a little from there, simply, make a big move, except for the retreat road in the north must be maintained, the defenders of the remaining two city gates can pull back all of them and put them on the battlefield on the premise of leaving a small part as a vigilance.

In this way, not only are the tactics much more flexible, but the forces that can be mobilized are also sufficient. But big vulnerabilities will follow......
