Sanqiao County is the oldest ancient city wall among the surrounding counties.

According to its county records, Sanqiao County was built in the early Yuan Dynasty, although after several wars, several earth-shaking changes, but the city wall has always given the people in the city a sense of security. The most recent rebuilding of the city wall can be traced back to the siege of the city more than 80 years ago, and the local squires spent great efforts to rebuild it, so that there is the current city wall.

However, no matter how old the city walls are, they cannot withstand the attack of modern weapons.

At this moment, the thick and tall city wall has long been attacked by modern weapons, especially the southern city wall, not only the entire city wall runway was bombed with potholes, and even a twenty or thirty meters wide large hole appeared, making the entire city wall look like a leak suddenly appeared in a water tank, which was extremely incongruous.

Compared with the situation in the county, the tragic state of the city wall is simply a drop in the bucket.

The ruins and walls are hard to stand, and everywhere they are in a tragic state of destruction by modern weapons.

Especially in the center of the city, it is also a key battle area for the two sides, not to mention that there is no intact building, even if you want to find a good room. Especially on Xiama Street, there is no trace of the original buildings on both sides of the tall buildings - they have either been blown up or buried by rubble and bricks.

In the whole county, except for the sound of gunfire and shouting to kill, it is difficult to hear any strange sounds, including crying, because everyone has no time and no mood to cry. It's okay to sing occasionally, but it's also a song with a lot of content. For example, if it is an impassioned singing, it will make people cry, because it often means that another detachment is coming to an end, because only at the last moment, there are only a few people left in the position, and these few people do not want to be prisoners and do not want to retreat, then they will often sing while singing, and at the same time they will play the *, and die with the enemy who rushes up - these songs are most sung by the men on the side of the assault group.

And if there are some hometown songs, it is the soldiers who miss their hometown in the dead of night - this kind of song is sung the most by the little devils.

However, fortunately, because the assault regiment publicized and launched early, all the people of the entire county town were moved to the hinterland of the base area to escape the war, so only soldiers were left in the entire county. Therefore, we have to be glad that there are no casualties among the people - the house can be rebuilt if it is gone, the land can be retaken if it is gone, and the organization can be reorganized if it is gone, but if the people are gone, then there is really nothing. On the other hand, if the water is still there, the fish will definitely be able to survive, and no matter how many injuries the fish is or how small the fish is, as long as the water supports it, it will certainly be able to develop and grow again.

It's better during the day, at least, everyone is fighting with knives and guns, even if they want to sneak attack, they can't avoid the other party's clear card and dark sentinel, therefore, both sides almost at the same time gave up the plan to sneak attack, but used a dignified head-on confrontation.

And one of the important reasons for this is the sharp reduction of small alleys, which limits the scope and flexibility of the commando group's activities.

In a way, the little devil is attacked by the assault regiment every time with a small group of elite troops in the small alleys that are intertwined like spider webs, and he suffers a lot of losses, plus the little devils can see that even if they occupy the main places in the county, as long as these small alleys are still there, they will never be able to occupy the entire county seat, and they will always be in a passive defensive position, therefore, the little devils have also made great efforts, and several troops have said all the way to destroy all the buildings within tens of meters on both sides, in order to make the assault regiment no longer able to use the alleys to pass through as before。

In this way, to a certain extent, it did greatly limit the area of activity of the commando regiment, forcing the assault regiment to confront the little devil head-on, so that the little devil squeezed the combat space of the assault regiment little by little with superior forces and equipment, and finally forced the assault regiment to take the initiative to withdraw from the county seat...... To tell the truth, positional warfare is really not the strong point of the assault regiment, and the county town is so big, thousands of people are crowded into it, if there is no geographical help from many small alleys, to confront it head-on, it is like in a specific small area, the space for activities is limited, there is no tactical and other advantages at all, but the enemy's advantages in all aspects are very obvious, their own side can only be passively beaten, and in the end, in order to survive, they can only give up this area. To put it bluntly, the movement space is too small, and you can only be forced to be led by the nose by the enemy, and you have to fight.

And at night, when it is even more worrying, it is the time of real cruelty: the positions occupied by the enemy during the day must take advantage of the cover of night, and take advantage of the excellent opportunity of the enemy's superior firepower to be effectively used. Or a position that cannot be conquered during the day, which must be captured under the cover of night, while the enemy is resting...... In this way, both the enemy and the enemy are always engaged in positional warfare during the day, and at night they must also be energetic to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, or to sneak attack the enemy's position. In this way, fighting during the day and fighting at night is even more energetic, which is not only a contest of weapons, but also a contest of willpower. Later, both sides were extremely tired, but they had to continue to grit their teeth and hold on, just to see who could hold on to the end - this kind of tormenting contest is a test for the human body, and it is even more of a torture for the spirit, but they have to continue to suffer, everything is just for the final victory.

So much so that in the end, both sides adopted a tactic that was very tangled, savored but admirable: during the day, let a small number of troops rest in the front, and most of them rest in the back, and at night, on the contrary, most of the people are in front, each eye is as big as a brass bell, and a small number of people are resting in the back.

Counting from the day the little devil soldiers came to Sanqiao County, it has been more than seven days now, that is to say, the assault regiment has completed the task assigned above - it must drag the little devil in and around Sanqiao County for seven days. You can retreat at any time.

This is tantamount to a life-saving medicine for the people of the assault regiment, because in this way, the people of the assault regiment can retreat at any time, which is equivalent to grasping the initiative of the war in this regard.

However, with the pride of the assault regiment, how can it be that the assault regiment has just completed its basic tasks and then leaves? The proud personality has penetrated deep into the hearts and minds of every commando regiment soldier after a long period of cultivation and actual combat, and therefore, from every wounded to Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze, everyone from top to bottom unanimously agreed: In this battle, our assault regiment suffered so many casualties and paid so much, how can we complete the task and leave? We must absolutely make the little devil pay an even heavier price, so that we can be worthy of everyone's efforts and have an explanation for the pride in our hearts.

In the words of our common people, this is 'Lao Tzu can't beat you, but death will bite off a piece of your flesh and blood, so that you can remember that Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with' - this is the arrogance of the assault regiment, like a wolf, both proud and iron-blooded.

Therefore, after completing the task, no one in the whole regiment thought about retreating, but all of them were wholeheartedly thinking about how to give the little devil another cruel move, so that the little devil would suffer a big loss before he was willing.

To be honest, so far, the assault regiment has suffered heavy casualties, especially the first and fourth battalions have basically been disabled. However, the results they achieved were very remarkable, and in terms of casualty rate alone, the casualty rate paid by the little devils was definitely not smaller than theirs. More importantly, let the little devils know that our Chinese soldiers are not the sick men of East Asia in their eyes, but brave men who also regard death as home, dare to fight, dare to fight and dare to die, and are definitely not comparable to the Mishima Japanese slaves. Of course, this is on a spiritual level.

At the strategic level, the assault regiment and several other regiments not only completed the tasks assigned by their superiors brilliantly, but also dragged the little devil hard, stopped its pace, thwarted its conspiracy to attack the base area, and let it be consumed in Sanqiao County, even if they now occupy this empty county town, because of their own casualty rate and ammunition consumption, they no longer have the ability to take the opportunity to attack the hinterland of the base area, forcing the little devil to stop here, and finally can only return in vain. used his own failures to achieve the reputation of the Eighth Route Army.

And now, even though the entire regiment has fought with the little devil with more than half of the casualties, the assault regiment is still unwilling to leave like this, and still wants to teach the little devil a hard lesson again...... This is the spirit of the assault regiment: rather die than give in, the more you fight, the more courageous!

Although the assault group wanted to fight again like this, the reality was cruel.

Relying on the superiority of troops and equipment, the little devil has already achieved absolute superiority in this small county town. Especially after blowing up the alleys along the way and compressing the space for the assault regiment's tactical activities, the little devil's advance speed was significantly faster than before—it was because there were no elite small troops to sabotage and nuisance it or its transportation lines, which seriously slowed down the speed of its attack. Now, the worries in this regard are negligible, and the assault regiment is forced to carry out frontal layers of blockade, so that the little devil's strength and equipment advantages can be brought into play, and the assault regiment will naturally not be able to resist as favorably as before.

Even, sometimes, the people below want to desperately block the little devil head-on, and in the end, don't Zhang Qingshan force the retreat, because the frontal desperate block, although the little devil can be blocked for a while, but from the final result, it is still unable to resist the pace of the little devil, in this way, the meaning of blocking is lost, it is better to concentrate forces and kill it at one point. Besides, this can also be beneficial to preserve the living forces, not only to concentrate troops to fight to the death, but also to reserve some fire for the assault regiment in the future, and to save more strength for the future to continue to fight against the little devils.

After all, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is not a battle of positions, it is a long and arduous war, and we must consider the future...... Of course, the premise of all this is that the tasks assigned by the superior have been completed.

And now, three sides of the entire county town have been occupied by little devils, and the assault regiment is only left in the northern city, and if they don't retreat, they can only give it a go. And the little devil also knows this, and he also wants to take down the entire county in one go.

Interestingly, both sides want to decide the outcome on this night, and what is even more coincidental is that this night, in Baoyuan County, the three battalions are also going to blow up the arsenal of the little devils, I have to say that this night is too important, it determines the outcome and direction.

The moment of truth – it's coming!
