Night is coming.

Just as two giants wrestled during the day and exhausted all their energy, as night fell, both sides also died down temporarily. The gunfire faded away, and eventually, vanishing into the endless darkness, everything returned to tranquility, except for the ruins and corpses left behind by the war.

As the battle continued, neither side asked for the corpses to be collected, so it was scary to see corpses lying on their backs around the occasional fire at night.

Also under the cover of night, I don't know how the little devils are doing for the time being, but it is certain that the little devils are definitely consolidating the occupied area.

But on the side of the assault regiment, there was a big move that had been prepared for a long time.

The first battalion concentrated its forces and wanted to carry out a night attack on the little devils, but after hesitating to suffer too heavy casualties in the battle during the day, in addition to leaving the necessary defensive positions and guarding the surroundings, the first battalion could only send a death squad of 60 people to carry out a sneak attack on the floor on the left side of Xiama Street, and then concentrate the second and fourth companies, and wait for the death squad to succeed, and the two companies went to take over the defense...... As a matter of fact, this is what Liu Bing came to his senses after thinking about it for a long time: Why do we have to occupy the commanding heights on both sides? Since the ultimate goal of occupying the commanding heights on both sides is only to use the commanding heights to attack the enemy rushing from the streets, then why can't we occupy only one of them? Occupying one side can also achieve this point, and it is much better to concentrate our forces to attack one point than to scatter our forces to attack the streets on both sides, and the chance of success and the chance of defending afterwards is much greater. Moreover, the strength of the first battalion was already stretched, and there were really not so many troops to defend the commanding heights on both sides of the street.

Of course, there is another important reason: the little devil learned to be obedient after being fooled, and always felt that he had to control the commanding heights on both sides before he dared to attack again. Then, Liu Bing took advantage of the psychology of the little devil to occupy one side of the street, and then, using this piece of buildings, dragged the little devil's troops, which naturally delayed the time, bought the necessary time for the regiment headquarters, and achieved the purpose of this operation. Therefore, after occupying one side of the street, he fought with the little devils in this large building, so that he could not only delay time, but also consume the troops of the little devils, and for the people behind, he also had a rare and precious rest.

At the same time, the organization of the night attack of the death squad was also to attract the strength and attention of the little devils, so as to provide cover for Tian Guozhong and their night attack on the Lin family's manor.

Zhang Qingshan was not idle, in order to maximize the interests of the limited forces in his hand, he immediately made a decision and directly swapped the last 300 militia in his hand with the third and fourth companies of the second battalion.

In this way, it seems that it is nothing, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the strength of 300 militia to defend a city gate is barely enough, but the combat effectiveness is far less than that of the third and fourth companies. To put it more bluntly, it is to scare the little devils. For this reason, Zhang Qingshan even asked these militiamen to carry a wooden stick each...... The sticks had long been burned black by fire, or they had been dyed black with fuel, and anyway, in the night, from a distance, they were no different from the barrel of a gun. Then, one of these sticks was placed on the side of each battlement, so that, from a distance, it seemed that there were three hundred more soldiers on the wall at night at all times.

In order to win, it can be said that Zhang Qingshan really came up with any tricks.

Of the two companies that were replaced, Zhang Qingshan only left the third company as a reserve to rest at the regimental headquarters, and the fourth company was immediately divided into two: the first and second platoons attacked the right side (west) of the south city gate from the city wall, and the third and fourth rows also attacked the left side (east) of the south city gate from the city wall.

In order to build momentum, and build as big as possible, Zhang Qingshan gave the four companies plenty of ammunition, especially *, an average of ten pieces per person. Even ten * bags were prepared for each platoon.

The reason why it wants to create a big attack is to make the little devils think that this is the assault group using heavy troops to recapture the entrance of the city wall, so as to block the supply line of the little devils: it is said that it is to close the door and beat the dogs, but in fact, both sides know that this is simply impossible. So far, although both sides can't figure out how many people are coming from the other side, they have basically estimated that the strength of the little devil itself is twice that of the assault regiment, and the strength of the assault regiment in the county town is limited, and it is constantly being withdrawn. At this moment, not to mention that there are still many troops in the temporary camp of the little devils outside the city, even in the county seat, there are about 3,000 people. With these 3,000 little devils, there is no need for the assault regiment to stay in the city. The assault group wants to close the door and beat the dog for the little devil, not to mention whether the door can be closed or not, but it is really closed, it is really hard to say whether the dog can be killed, one is not good, and there will be a danger of being bitten by the dog.

However, the little devil also has to pay attention to this wall opening, because this is the only safe passage for the little devil to enter and exit the city at present. What is especially important is that this wall opening is its only supply line at present, and if it is really cut off, the little devil will be in danger...... Suddenly running out of ammo is fighting, that's a fart!

Therefore, the greater the momentum, the more the little devils will be afraid that the supply line will be cut off, and the more they will guard the entrance of the city wall, and naturally more troops will be sent over.

And in this way, it can not only contain some of the little devils' troops, but also attract the attention of the little devils, so as to cover Tian Guozhong's raid on the Lin family's manor.

Whether it's a sneak attack or a momentum, to put it bluntly, no matter what you do, it's just a feint, just to distract the little devil's forces and attention, so as to pave the way for the night attack on the Lin family's manor...... Zhang Qingshan has a lot of such feint plans, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice! No matter how good the feint plan is, someone must carry it out, but the troops in his hands are limited, and at present, there are only these two most convenient and economical plans for feints.

Of course, Zhang Qingshan's doing this also made it clear the next step: whether the night attack on the Lin family's manor was successful or not, in fact, it only had some effect on the local side, and it had little effect on defending Sanqiao County, at most, the next battle space in the city would be expanded, it would delay for some time, and there would be more kills and injuries for little devils. But in the end, it was still impossible to hold the county seat...... Of course, if the little devil also set up the temporary high command in the Lin family manor, and Tian Guozhong and the others succeeded in ending this temporary high command in one fell swoop, then the meaning would be different, everyone can take advantage of the fact that the little devil has lost his command system, and he will inevitably fall into a panic, and there is still the possibility of holding the county seat.

If the sneak attack on the Lin family's manor is unsuccessful, then Zhang Qingshan and the others can only retreat, or simply transfer out of the city, go outside the city to fight guerrilla warfare with the little devils, contain the main forces of the little devils, and wait for the success of the plan of the third battalion, and take advantage of the panic of the little devils to give them a heavy blow.

For this reason, Zhang Qingshan sent a communications corps to inform the Fourth Battalion and Li Jing and others, who had already gained a firm foothold, to move closer to the county seat: The Fourth Battalion would sneak attack from the rear of the small devil's temporary camp if necessary, cover the main force for the withdrawal of the county seat, and drag down the troops in the little devil's temporary camp. Li Jing and others laid an ambush in the north of the county and prepared to receive the main force to withdraw from the county seat...... The key is to transfer the wounded, otherwise, how can there be such a mobilization of the army, everyone can pat their butts and leave.

Therefore, in this kind of mentality of 'although I know that I can't hold the county, I still have to bite you hard, so that you can't continue', Zhang Qingshan will let go so much, which can be described as a go.

At night, the little devils are mainly concentrated in two places, and the mentality and atmosphere of the little devils in these two places are completely different: in the temporary camp of the little devils outside the city, the bonfire is like a star, and inside, the little devils are eating and drinking, and even some people are singing and dancing, obviously full of confidence in this battle; and in the defensive area of the little devils in the city, although they eat and drink the same food, they rarely even talk to each other, everyone eats and drinks silently, and even many people find a random place after eating and drinking, and fall asleep on the ground, there is no joy and excitement at all, this is probably because they have suffered heavy casualties during the day, and the speed of the battle line is not as fast as expected, on the contrary, because they are always unable to take the opposite position, and there is a feeling that they can no longer move forward, which makes them feel ashamed, but they are helpless for the time being, so the atmosphere is solemn and there is a little anger.

As soon as nine o'clock passed, the little devils, both outside the city and inside the city, began to rest in discipline and recuperate for tomorrow's battle.

Nine thirty a.m.!

The time has come for the second battalion and four companies of the assault regiment to attack both ends of the southern city wall currently controlled by the little devils.

"Bang!

Two flares suddenly appeared, like two small stars climbing......

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da! da! da......"

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Kill the devil!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

More than a hundred meters away from both ends of the southern city gate, two gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and the two outermost sentinels were killed almost simultaneously.

Immediately, the gunfire burst into flames.

And then there was the sound of gunfire, shouts of killing.

Even, from a low distance in the distance, you can see the crowd surging on the city wall, but in the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing, you can see the figure of rushing forward.

This sudden battle immediately attracted the attention of all the little devils.

Immediately, the little devils, both outside the city and inside the city, sent a squadron to reinforce the South City Gate, especially to guard the South City Gate.

Nine forty-five o'clock!

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Comrades, kill devils!"

"Rush!"

Suddenly there were several gunshots on the large floor on the left side of the street, followed by a roar, and then there was a loud burst of gunfire and screams, and finally, the continuous explosions prevailed...... This is a battalion of sixty daredevils who launched a night attack on the little devils.

However, the reaction of the little devil commanders in the city is very interesting: they attach great importance to the entrance of the south city wall, and as soon as they hear that there is something there, they immediately send troops to reinforcements with the little devils outside the city, but for the battle that is close at hand, they do not send a single soldier, and even a little ignores.

At least, at first.

But when a bloodied little devil staggered back and asked for reinforcements, the little devils in the city couldn't sit still......
