Liquid!

The guns that rang out for three full hours were finally dumb, and the three-hour war was finally on fire, although everyone knew that this was only temporary, and when the day dawned, there would be another tragic offensive and defensive battle, but this rare tranquility still made the soldiers on both sides of the enemy feel extremely tired physically, but in their hearts, it was so quiet, so quiet that everyone didn't want to think about it, but just wanted to sleep well.

However, the warriors on both sides were able to rest, but as commanders, they had to spend the night discussing countermeasures: how to take the city walls at the lowest cost...... How to hold the walls with minimal effort.

Of course, this is only when ordinary soldiers on both sides see the lights of the brightly lit command headquarters, and they seem to be extremely busy.

In fact, at the beginning, the little devils discussed it like this, and the assault group was located in the temporary high command headquarters of Sanqiao County, but what they discussed was whether to sneak attack the little devil camp at night.

Although in the battle in the evening, the little devil went all out as soon as he came up, which made both sides originally think it was a tentative attack, but as a result, it immediately rose to the point of a life-and-death decisive battle, and the fight was particularly tragic.

From a military point of view alone, the fighters on both sides fought extremely tenaciously, and there was not a single deserter, and even the wounded on both sides were slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire...... It is precisely this kind of contest of willpower that deepens the fierceness of this battle.

Although afterwards, the morale of the little devils was sharply depressed by the series of explosions, and they had to pay the price of nearly 150 killed in battle and more than 200 injured. However, few armies have been able to retain their high morale despite such a blow. It is precisely because of this that the assault regiment also put away the arrogance caused by the victory of several battles against the little devil in the past, and began to face the little devil in front of him.

After all, in this battle, the first battalion of the assault regiment also paid the price of more than 80 killed and 163 wounded.

From this point of view, the battle between the two sides was basically a draw, and the first battalion was only slightly superior in numbers. However, this battle made both sides begin to pay attention to their opponents. In other words, the next contest is the real overall strength of the two sides, whether it is tactics or willpower. And this means that the tragedy of both sides will further increase, and the casualties will inevitably increase further.

And this, in the eyes of the commanders of the little devils, is considered a shame, because since they invaded China, they have never encountered such a regiment with such high combat effectiveness and such a tenacious will to fight. bones', therefore, they can look down on the Chinese army, but they must definitely show all their skills to face the opponent on the opposite side, otherwise, judging from the tragedy of the battle in the evening, there will be a risk of defeat, and at that time, it will not only be a matter of personal shame, but a blow to the military soul of this army that has always considered itself invincible in the world: without this self-confidence that is proud to be invincible in the world, morale is likely to collapse from now on, which is equivalent to a personal psychological shadow.

Therefore, the commanders of the little devils will discuss overnight, how to do to eliminate the opponent at the same time as the least cost, or at least, to drive the opponent from the city on the opposite side...... You know, they are mechanized troops, if they can drive out the assault regiment in the city, then it means that they can use the advantage of the steel chariot to slaughter the assault regiment that is driven out - flesh and blood, facing armored vehicles or tanks on flat ground, isn't it equivalent to slaughter?

The same thing.

It was precisely because of the battle at dusk that the assault regiment was in good spirits, and it had to gather cadres above the battalion level overnight to discuss the tactical arrangements and countermeasures for the next day.

And it was during this discussion that the meeting was divided.

Present at the meeting included Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze, Tian Guozhong, deputy regiment commander and commander of the first battalion Liu Bing, second battalion commander Li Honghui, and fifth battalion commander Li Jing, as well as Xiao Li, who had just been promoted from a staff officer to deputy chief of staff of the regiment.

At the meeting, Liu Bing first thanked the blasting experts for laying so many bags and wires on that section of the city wall, so as to achieve such brilliant results, not only gave a lot of damage to the little devils, but also defended the city wall - although that section of the city wall was blown up with thousands of holes, but in the end it was defended. If the little devil attacks again tomorrow, I'm afraid that thinking about today's explosion, there will be some shadows in my heart.

Then, Liu Bing made a self-criticism. Because today's big bang was originally intended to be used at the most critical moment in the future. Moreover, according to the prior arrangement, only at the beginning of the street battle, that is, the city wall has fallen into the hands of the little devils, and when the little devils send troops to attack the street battles in the city, they will line up the death squad and use the telephone lines that have been hidden for a long time to blow up a short gap between the little devils who have entered the city and the little devils outside the city, so that they cannot be connected in the future, and then take the opportunity to fight back with all their might, and first kill the little devils who want to rush into the city.

However, now, Liu Bing can't wait to rush on.

Although this is inseparable from the posture of the little devil who starts a decisive battle as soon as he comes up, it is used in advance after all. Although it hit the morale of the little devil and forced him to retreat temporarily, it did not complete the purpose of cutting off the back road of the little devil who rushed into the city.

Therefore, Liu Bing had to apologize and review.

Then, after everyone's vote by a show of hands, the meeting temporarily decided that in view of the fact that Liu Bing had launched an explosion in advance and had lost an excellent opportunity to inflict huge damage on the little devil, the meeting decided to remove Liu Bing from the post of deputy regiment commander and retain his post as a battalion commander.

Then, while Liu Bing accepted this punishment, he immediately proposed the tactic of sneaking up on the little devil's camp at night, so there was a disagreement at the meeting.

Liu Bing and others believed that the little devil came on an expedition, but regardless of the physical and mental exhaustion of the soldiers, he relied on the advantage of firepower to forcibly attack the city. Although the battle was fierce at that time, people's energy was limited after all. It is physically and mentally exhausted, and after such a fierce battle, the body and mind of the little devils will definitely become more and more exhausted.

Moreover, because of his previous arrogance, the little devil did not build a simple temporary camp at all, and he has not even built it yet. Now, all the little devils had to gather together, and a large number of sentinels were sent out to stand guard on the periphery.

And this time is the perfect opportunity to sneak up on the little devil's camp.

Of the participants who supported this tactic, Zhang Qingshan was the only exception.

And Zhang Qingshan, the only one who opposes this plan, believes that things must be the opposite of what everyone thinks.

If the little devil attacked the city in the evening, even if he was then forcibly beaten out, then, with the arrogance of the little devil, he would naturally look down on the assault group even more. And in this arrogant mentality, the little devils will more or less continue to be careless, and even think that the assault regiment is so unbearable to even fight head-on, how dare they come to sneak attack?

However, the reality is that the little devils are blocked outside the city wall, so they will definitely correct their mentality, attach importance to the assault regiment, and will definitely not give the assault regiment much opportunity.

After all, the little devil commanders are not only graduates of regular military schools, but also veterans of many major wars. With high-quality military personnel themselves, and tempered by the battlefield, will they drill into the huge loopholes of the assault regiment on the premise of re-attaching importance to the opponent?

And Liu Bing's rebuttal is that even if the little devil is prepared, but under this high level of physical and mental exhaustion, the combat effectiveness of the little devil will definitely be greatly reduced. Even if the sneak attack fails, it's still relatively easy to get out.

And Tian Guozhong also gave a point of view: even if the sneak attack fails, and the little devil fights again, then the little devil will definitely not have the energy and physical strength to support the next day's attack. In this way, it is equivalent to buying everyone an extra day of rest.

To be fair, what both sides said made sense, Liu Bing and others were the main attackers and surprise attacks, while Zhang Qingshan just changed his identity, and changed the previous battle style of preferring to be supplemented by the front and the flank surprise attack, and actually advocated a steady and steady attack.

After arguing for half an hour, neither side could convince anyone. And Zhang Qingshan alone could not suppress everyone's 'enthusiasm', especially when Tian Guozhong and Hu Yingze both actively supported Liu Bing's night attack plan, in the end, Zhang Qingshan could only reserve his opinion and obey the majority.

However, Zhang Qingshan, in his capacity as the commander of the assault regiment and the commander-in-chief of the enemy before the battle, made two proposals: First, in the face of everyone's fierce proposals, Zhang Qingshan could only take a step back, advocating sending a telegram to the division headquarters and asking the division headquarters to make a final resolution. Although this point was also opposed by everyone, the reason was that the division headquarters was hundreds of kilometers away from here, and it was impossible to understand the details of what had happened and the result, so it could only make strategic decisions, and it could not be brought into play tactically at all. However, because of Zhang Qingshan's long-term prestige in the assault regiment, under Zhang Qingshan's repeated insistence, everyone had to agree.

Before sending a telegram to the division headquarters, Zhang Qingshan also put forward a condition, that is, to change the previous proposal of Liu Bing, at least one battalion of troops to participate in the night attack. Instead, it was changed to the strength of a company. The reason is that if the little devil really makes a good pocket, how many can come out of this battalion if he gets in? And once the assault regiment loses the strength of a battalion, then the next battle can hardly be considered victory, and it can hold the county seat of Sanqiao for five days, which can be regarded as an extraordinary performance.

To put it simply, under the premise that the enemy's situation is unknown, the assault regiment cannot afford to gamble at the critical moment when the assault regiment is now overstretched.

This article was also opposed by Liu Bing and others, on the grounds that since it was a night attack, it was natural to increase the investment of troops, and if only one company of troops was sent there, not only would it not be effective at all, but it would also be completely annihilated under the premise that there might be no troops to connect with this company.

In the end, Hu Yingze put forward a comprehensive opinion, and sent these two opinions to the division headquarters along with Qingshi, asking the division headquarters to decide.

The reply given by the division headquarters was: agree to the night attack, but the platoon has two companies out, one company is responsible for sneaking up on the artillery positions of the little devils, and the other company is responsible for answering the ...... Finally, I added that according to the effect of the night attack, it can be decided whether the company that received it was immediately put into action.

It has to be said that the reply given by the division headquarters was the most pertinent, supporting both the intensity of the night attack and the consequences of failure......
