The county seat of Sanqiao County is more than six meters high and nearly five meters wide.

I have to thank the ancestors for not cutting corners when building this county, but instead spending real money.

At the beginning, Zhang Qingshan thought that the county seat of Sanqiao County was the kind of old earthen city wall, but when he came here, he was really surprised, because the city walls here are all composed of stones half a meter long, 30 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters high. It is made from glutinous rice and boiled into a paste for cement, which is absolutely strong.

In layman's terms, everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how hard a stone is, it can't stop a cannonball, but the county city wall built with such stones can make the little devil have to pay at least three times more than the usual cannonballs before it is possible to blow it up...... And this is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Qingshan didn't take the first step to attack the county seat of Sanqiao County, which was occupied by the little devils, and had to use outwitting, using the arrogance of the little devils, and adopting the tactics of combining inside and outside with sneak attacks to take this county seat.

Therefore, when Zhang Qingshan and the others heard that the second company of the fourth battalion had blown up the transport convoy and a series of ammunition for the little devils, Zhang Qingshan looked up to the sky and laughed in ecstasy: "The second company has made a great contribution, the second company has made a great contribution!" ...... If the ammunition is insufficient, the little devil will not be able to use so much ammunition to attack the city wall of the county seat, so he can only use people to attack head-on, so that the casualties paid by the little devil are definitely several times that of the original expectation, and, in this way, even if it is captured, then, in the face of the fortifications that have been prepared for street fighting, and have built many pillboxes and other fortifications specially prepared for street fighting, they must pay a heavier price. At that time, even if the little devil occupies the county seat, he will definitely not be able to fight any longer, so that the gate of the base area will be guarded, and the base area will be guarded, and the task assigned by the superiors will be achieved.

The deployment of the assault regiment to defend the county seat of Sanqiao County was as follows: The first battalion, as the strongest battalion in combat among the five battalions of the assault regiment, was to defend the southern city gate head-on. The open terrain in front of the south city gate is conducive to the little devils to deploy their troops and give full play to their heavy firepower advantages.

The second battalion defended the east gate. Although the east gate faces the invading little devil head-on, the terrain of the east gate is relatively narrow, and the heavy firepower advantage of the little devil, especially the troops, cannot be invested in the attack on the city gate on a large scale, so even if it is facing the enemy head-on, it is geographically advantageous to the second battalion.

Therefore, a company was transferred from the 2nd Battalion to the West Gate to be responsible for directing and guiding the guerrillas in battle.

The guerrillas defended the West Gate, and the 2nd Company drawn from the 2nd Battalion served as the main force of the operation.

After more than half a year of vigorous development, the guerrillas have expanded to more than 1,000 people, and the guerrillas who entered the city to assist in the defense of the city this time were all carefully selected, with 500 people, plus the second company, which is almost the strength of a battalion. And the reason why the West City Gate was handed over to them was due to two factors: First, the West City Gate used to be the fisherman's wharf, and the West Gate to the opposite side of the shops and other wooden houses, only six or seven meters wide of a street, the terrain is long and narrow, there is absolutely no room for the little devil to exert heavy firepower, so if the little devil only relies on soldiers to attack, the number of people, the person who occupies the geographical advantage must take a big advantage. Second, the fishermen have reached an agreement with the assault group: if the little devil feints to attack the West Gate, the fishermen will not make a move, and in case the little devil mainly attacks the West Gate, or if the West Gate cannot withstand for other reasons, the fishermen can send a small elite force to sneak attack the rear of the little devil. The most important thing is that when the time comes, this small group of elite fishermen will set fire to all the houses on the opposite side of the city wall, so that when the time comes, even if the little devil climbs the city wall, he will have to obediently retreat immediately. For this reason, the fishermen had already prepared kerosene in more than a dozen wooden houses early, and it was just a matter of fire.

The North Gate is even more interesting.

Below the north gate is a 20-meter-long slope, which is relatively steep, and below the slope is a flat land, but only about 30 meters wide, and beyond it is the river.

That is to say, even if the little devil sets up the cannon by the river and fires it here, then, if the soldiers at the head of the city are strong enough, as long as they can throw * over fifty meters, they can directly use * as a cannonball to blow up the cannon that the little devil set up there...... With such an obvious weakness, the little devil would naturally not be stupid enough to really dare to put the cannon here.

Therefore, attacking the north city wall is the most difficult: if you run over the other city gates, you can set up a ladder to climb the city wall, but if you want to attack the north city gate, you still have to go up the hill for more than 20 meters.

And then, heh, heh! That's where the little devil digs his own hole.

At the beginning, in the few months when the little devils occupied the county seat of Sanqiao County, in order to support the war on the front line, they constantly drew troops from the occupied areas, and naturally the little devils in the county seat of Sanqiao County were indispensable.

And in order to be able to defend the county seat with the least number of troops, the little devil also put a lot of effort into building a lot of fortifications. Among them, not only some permanent fortifications were built in the county - the little devils were built with cement. Six pillboxes were built outside the city wall of the north city gate, each of which was separated by ten meters, and on the firepower hole, it was possible to strafe the left, middle and right sides without dead ends.

This was naturally unceremoniously exploited by the assault group.

Moreover, in order to prevent the besiegers from rushing up, the engineering experts at that time set up ladders to climb the city wall, which was really painstaking, and absolutely grabbed a lot of hair, and finally made them think of a good way: specially outside the city wall, first within five meters outside the city wall, the slope was dug from 37 degrees to 80 degrees, and then paved with cement and polished very smooth stones to 50 degrees, and the smoothness of a water was incomparably fine, as far as the time was concerned, it was absolutely fine to the point of impeccable.

In this way, even if the besiegers attacked here, because the ground was too smooth, even if a ladder was erected, two or three people would have to hold the ladder underneath, otherwise the ladder would slide down...... You can imagine that if the besieger climbs up the ladder, as a result, when he is about to climb up, the defender above only needs to kill the person who is escalating the ladder with one shot, and it is very likely that the ladder will slide down the slope, so the guy who is about to climb to the top will definitely be injured and scolded his mother even if he does not fall to his death.

It can be seen that the designers invited by these little devils were sincerely doing things. It's just that now the assault regiment is cheaper, and let the little devils try the power of what they have made themselves.

Therefore, the defense of the north gate was not practical for the strength of a battalion. In other words, the five battalions defending the north gate actually exist as a reserve. Moreover, the fifth battalion also has an important task, once the war has to abandon the city and everyone must break through, the fifth battalion is the vanguard of the breakthrough, and the north gate is also the first way to retreat for the breakthrough.

Now, just wait for the little devil to arrive, and see how the little devil chooses.

Of course, with Zhang Qingshan's character who has always played cards out of common sense, this kind of rigid style of play is definitely not his style, so it is inevitable that he will secretly explain to a battalion commander, and everyone can help defend when necessary. This is reflected in the later tactics.

To be honest, as for the location and speed of the little devil's three-way army, I'm afraid, the assault regiment knows no less than the little devil.

This is thanks to the fighters and guerrillas who are constantly blocking the various armies of the nuisance of the little devils on the way, and they send someone to report to the nearest place with a radio station every time they block it. In this way, every step of the little devil's movement is naturally as eye-catching as the three black ants constantly crawling on the white paper, and at most it is only ten minutes later than the time known by the base camp behind the little devil. However, the assault regiment can judge where the little devil's three-way army will go next according to the blocking personnel and prior arrangements on its own side, and what time period it will be.

In this way, not only did they grasp the initiative in time, but they also gained the upper hand in mentality.

There must be competition or secret competition within the little devils.

No, the little devil who arrived first was the right army in the three-way army (from the side of the assault regiment).

After arriving, according to the information and intelligence obtained in advance, the army on the right side of the little devil ignored the orders of the rear base camp, and wanted to grab this merit without waiting for the three-way army to gather, so he naturally rushed to attack.

The army on the right of the little devils arrived around four o'clock in the afternoon.

According to normal military common sense, everyone has been in the dust all the way, and after passing through many obstacles and nuisances, they finally arrived here, and they must be in a tired place regardless of physical strength or energy. And at this time, it is time for dinner again, so, under normal circumstances, at this time, the troops should be allowed to cook on the fire, and then build fortifications on the spot, send sentries to prevent them from being attacked at night, and let the exhausted soldiers have a full meal, and rest for the night, and wait for the next day the soldiers have recovered their strength and energy, and then start the siege.

However, the internal competition, coupled with the arrogance of the little devils, made the supreme commander of the right army of the little devils ignore these unfavorable conditions at all, but think that their own world is invincible, the Chinese army is vulnerable, and there is no need to rest overnight, the invincible little devils in the world only need to fire a few cannons, and then rush up to defeat the assault regiment in the county, and then everyone can eat meat and drink wine in the county town, and rest for tomorrow to continue to attack the belly of the Eighth Route Army's base area.

So, under such an extremely arrogant and arrogant excuse, despite the opposition of many officers, he forced the little devils to put on a posture and prepare to forcibly attack the city.

In fact, it is no wonder that the army on the right side of the little devils is arrogant and arrogant, thinking that they are invincible in the world, in fact, they do have proud capital: since the invasion of China, all the major battles in which this motorized unit has participated have ended in victory, and in particular, the forced breakthrough of this mechanized army on the battlefield has added luster to it, and it has been in the limelight for a while.

And this mechanized army is armed not only with artillery, but also with tanks and armored vehicles - the specific figures have been described earlier, so I will not repeat them.

However, in terms of weapons and equipment, even the national army is far inferior to the little devils, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which is far inferior to the national army. Just as the little devil's contempt for the Eighth Route Army was the Eighth Route Army, although it was contempt, it also reflected how poor the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was at that time.

And this is where the right army of little devils dares to ignore their own disadvantages, dare to ignore their own fatigue, and dare to shout and go down.

It's just that the supreme commander of the right army of the little devil also ignored one point: the equipment of the assault regiment can far exceed that of the ordinary main battle regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and even much better than the equipment of many regiments of the national army......
