Chapter Twenty-Seven: Difficult Defense

"Smack!"
Luo Ping first expressed his dissatisfaction, slapped the table with his hand, pointed at Zhang Qingshan and shouted: "Zhang Qingshan, comrades are in a dangerous situation, and they are racking their brains to find a way, but you are gloating there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Why, you are very happy to see your comrades suffering?"
Zhang Qingshan was indeed thinking of happiness, because he thought of a solution. Suddenly hearing this, he looked up in astonishment, but saw that the comrades' eyes were like torches and wanted to burn themselves with their eyes, he was startled, and was about to open his mouth to justify, but he saw Zhang Guozhi, the company commander, take a deep breath of cigarette, and look at it with a frown: "Comrade Zhang Qingshan, I remember that you seem to be in confinement...... Well, even if you don't want to run back as a prisoner, then you should be aware of organizational discipline. I ask you, when did you come in?
"I ...... I ......"
What about a soldier, if his temper is not hot, then he is still called a soldier? When he is angry, it is normal for him to open his mouth and curse without thinking about anything else. But Xiang Jiafu, an old political cadre on the side, saw that he was famous, and when he saw Zhang Qingshan's eagerness to argue, he felt that this guy might have thought of a way.
He walked over while waving his hand to stop others from speaking, patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder, and said with a smile while pulling him to the table and sitting down: "Qingshan, don't be like these rough people...... You just laughed, there must be your reason, come, sit down and talk to me slowly. Rightly or wrongly, I'll make sure you're okay. ”
I just thought of a good idea, and I was a little engrossed, and I didn't notice the surroundings and just took care of myself. Just say it, it's a big deal to be locked up by you again.
In the angry eyes of everyone, he told the cause and effect of the questioning of the eldest baby of the Tibetan Zhou Baoyu family, and said with a smile: "As long as we shout that these people are bandits who drill the mountain tigers, and shout a few more places that will be robbed and killed by him...... I think that the people will automatically come out to defend Guitang Town according to the previous rules. When the time comes, one person can wipe out these bandits with a mouthful of spit. It's just that I don't know if the nature of these people is considered bandits, because there is also Tian Dalong's township regiment inside, you know, in the hearts of the local people, the township regiment is also part of the regular army, if we know that they are fighting us, the people are afraid that they will retaliate afterwards, and they are likely to continue to wait and see. ”
"Bullshit's township. More than 200 of them were driven all over the mountain by us, and they could live for so long without a foundation, and they couldn't solve it just by eating and drinking, and they didn't get it by robbing the people. No matter who you are, as long as you rob the common people's things, they are bandits......" As he spoke, Zhang Guozhi stood up and shouted: "If there is nothing to say, just do what Comrade Zhang Qingshan said, and immediately send people to spread the propaganda everywhere." ”
There is no way to do this: the main forces will not be able to return for a while, and relying on them alone, sooner or later they will be repulsed by an enemy several times their size.
Mayor Wang Yuhong on the side hurriedly shouted: "Company Commander Zhang, let's talk to the locals, and the villagers will believe it more." I think I'll take care of this, right?"
"No, Mayor Wang, you still have to cooperate with us here. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to hand it over to Deputy Mayor Zhang Qinggui. ”
Zhang Qingshan also hurriedly added: "I voluntarily cooperate with my cousin." ”
Everyone discussed it again, and then Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qinggui went out and found two members of the Self-Defense Force, and found a few gongs and a few muskets in the propaganda team. In order to ensure the safety of the four of them, Zhang Guozhi temporarily sent two soldiers to each of them.
According to Zhang Qinggui's orders, several people dispersed.
......
Yu Zhiping was originally the squad leader of the third platoon of the Red Third Company, but because Luo Ping, the former platoon leader of the third platoon, was transferred to the Guitang Town Self-Defense Force Brigade as the captain, he was promoted to the third platoon leader.
Although we did not expect that Tian Dalong would set up such a large bureau, we can still make corresponding preventive arrangements based on past experience.
When the first and second platoons go to rescue the villagers in Xiangjia Village, the self-defense brigade will be temporarily dispatched to take over the security work of the whole town. In view of the fact that the firepower, combat effectiveness and personnel of the third platoon are stronger than those of the fourth platoon, the third platoon is the main force of the entire defense, and the fourth platoon is responsible for the security of the command headquarters. It's just that when Tian Dalong and others attacked Guitang Town on a large scale, the third platoon and the self-defense force felt struggling, and the command headquarters had to change the deployment, and transferred the third platoon and the third squad, which had the strongest firepower, to defend the headquarters together with the propaganda team, and let the fourth platoon join the battle, mainly responsible for blocking the men and horses of the mountain tigers.
At this time, Yu Zhiping, with the third platoon and the second squadron of the Self-Defense Forces, was blocking the attack of Tian Dalong's main force in the temporary fortifications on the main street.
The battle was generally tasteless, nothing more than the third platoon carrying sandbags filled with sand and soil to the center of the main street in order to prevent someone from attacking, and hearing the gunfire and warning from the east entrance of the town, the soldiers of the third platoon immediately piled up a ring of fortifications with sandbags and thick planks, and at the same time seized the commanding heights around it. Tian Dalong attacked here with more than 100 people, but was stubbornly resisted, and the two sides fought inextricably -- this place was less than 15 meters away from the headquarters of the town office, and it could be regarded as the last line of defense of the headquarters of the town office.
But when it comes to details, there are only two words -- tragic! If you have to add a few more words, it is -- bloody and tragic!
To the east of this main street position, from a hundred meters away, there were traces of blood, and the closer you got to the position, the more blood stains there were, and the more corpses there were, a small part of which were still mutilated, and some were blown up to the roof by grenades. And in the ring fortifications and around them, there are already more than 20 corpses lying horizontally, both friend and foe, and the further in, the more bloodstains there are, almost dyeing the small fortifications into a blood-red color.
The corpses of both friend and foe have one thing in common: they have no weapons with them, at most bullet casings, because they are all used to fight. Especially around the fortifications, many SDF members traded their lives to get a gun, so they piled up a lot of corpses. That's it, in terms of guns and ammunition, the side of the Red Army is still at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the main street was ten meters wide, and the enemy could not all of them on the street, and they could not give full play to the numerical advantage: they did rush up at the beginning, trying to crush the Red Army with momentum, but as a result, although the Red Army did not have as many guns and bullets as them, everyone had grenades, and they blew these people to the ground.
Soon, the bandits learned wisely, and seeing that the Red Army soldiers would not throw grenades into the houses of the people, they leaned against the side of the street, or simply smashed the homes of the people on the street and fired at the Red Army from the inside.
Interestingly, Tian Dalong's men and horses have always only paid attention to guns and bullets, but there are few grenades, and there are no artillery, so they can only fight hard with the Red Army, but they dare not charge collectively. And the Red Army, on the other hand, would not charge, so that both sides could only shoot at each other.
Under the multiple factors, the enemy almost gave up the struggle for the fortifications, relying on the strength of the people, but paid attention to the commanding heights, and climbed to the roof one by one, the purpose is self-evident.
Up to now, although the bandits have suffered greater casualties than the Red Army, they have a large number of people, especially almost one gun per person, and they have a huge advantage over two or three people on our side with one gun, so they are almost pressing the Red Army to fight. To put it mildly, if it weren't for the Red Army soldiers desperately defending several commanding heights, they would have been beaten to the town office by bandits a long time ago.
In such a situation, with the superiority in numbers and weapons, Tian Dalong's men and horses still consumed the lives of Red Army soldiers little by little. But it is worth mentioning that no one escaped, whether it was a Red Army soldier or a member of the Self-Defense Forces, and even no one proposed to Yu Zhiping to avoid his edge and retreat temporarily.
The bullets fired by the enemy became more and more dense, the soldiers were killed and wounded more and more, and even the seriously wounded struggled to get up, lying on the sandbags, and fought back with their guns. Some fighters, holding a grenade in one hand and a fuse in the other, gritted their teeth and persevered, knowing that the flame of life gradually dimmed in his eyes to the point of dissipation......
Seeing that he was about to be unable to hold on, Yu Zhiping's eyes were full of blood, and he grabbed another soldier and roared: "Go and send a letter to the command headquarters and ask them to prepare for defense." He knew that there were no reinforcements to send, and since he would not retreat from the battle, he could only use all his deaths to fulfill his loyalty to the word 'Red Army'.
"Platoon commander, you let others go, I'm going to kill the enemy. ”
Yu Zhiping was anxious and proud, but he couldn't help it.
On the other side, Tian Dalong's eyes were green like wolves, and he vigorously urged his subordinates with promotions and fortune and the Red Army's insistence: Attack! Attack! Attack again!
Not far from the west end of the town, Luo Ping led the remaining two squadrons of the Self-Defense Force, which were defeated and retreated due to lack of weapons and numerical inferiority, but fortunately, the fourth platoon arrived in time to reinforce and barely blocked the attack of the Drill Mountain Tiger, but the situation was still not optimistic.
Seeing that the entire defense was already in a critical moment of collapse, reinforcements arrived, but not soldiers and horses, but ......
"Dang!"
The appearance of the gong was particularly harsh in the sound of bullets.
Immediately afterwards, there was a shout: "Listen to the fathers and villagers of Guitang Town, the Drill Mountain Tiger and the bandits have entered the town, if you don't move to be a spectator, when our Red Army retreats, your parents and brothers and sisters will suffer." The bandit of the dog day has already spoken: he wants to rob all the property in the town and kill everyone in the town. And promised his men that he would gather your sisters together and let the bandits sleep...... He also said that for those ordinary people who have supported our Red Army, especially those whose families have joined the Self-Defense Forces, they must be killed, burned, and robbed...... Folks, we, the Red Army, have resisted their attack, and now is a good opportunity to beat the water dogs. There is no way to survive left and right, so it is better to take the opportunity to fight with them. ”
Immediately afterwards, another person shouted: "The dog's day is too deceitful, since you don't give Lao Tzu's family a way to live, Lao Tzu will die, and you have to save the lives of the whole family." ”
"Peng!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of musket fire was heard very far.
Someone takes the lead......
