Chapter 1079: The Scout's Story (1)
7:50 a.m.!
Zhang Qingshan looked at the one hundred and thirty-eight men in the second battalion and the first company in front of him, as well as the twelve scouts who were the best at reconnaissance in the regiment, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, looking at each of them, he felt that there was a tragic and depressing atmosphere circulating in his heart: everyone knew that this sneak attack said that it was good to blow up the cannons or shells of the little devils, but in fact, everyone understood that the little devils' defense against shells was probably as cautious as the defense of the Supreme Command.
Moreover, in Zhang Qingshan's heart, he has always felt that this sneak attack may not be smooth, and he is even worried that he will fall into the trap of the little devil, so he has always opposed it. It's just that everyone thinks it's feasible, and he is a little unsure, so he can only reserve his opinion.
And beside the second battalion and the first company, there are also the second battalion and the second company, they are responsible for receiving and if necessary, they can take the opportunity to attack the task of the little devil's temporary camp according to the situation...... Relatively speaking, because Zhang Qingshan felt that the first company might fall into the trap of the little devil, he thought that the second company might not have a chance to attack, but if he just responded, the pressure was relatively small, so he didn't have any sad attitude towards the second company.
"Comrades, I won't say anything superfluous, come, everyone pick up the wine bowl, I wish you all success, go early and return early, do it!"
The commander of the first company, Peng Revolution, stood up, held the wine bowl in both hands, and shouted to Zhang Qingshan with a resolute face: "Please rest assured that the regiment commander and comrades will definitely complete the task in the first company, and if we do not succeed, we will become benevolent!"
Zhang Qingshan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but he still raised the wine bowl and shouted, "!"
After drinking the wine in the bowl, Zhang Qingshan saw that the comrades were about to drop the wine bowl to Mingzhi, and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute!"
When everyone looked at it for some reason, Zhang Qingshan said, "Hand over the wine bowl." In this case, when the comrades return safely, I will take this wine bowl to toast each comrade. ”
This is how much I hope that everyone can come back safely, and naturally everyone agrees.
After all the wine bowls were put away, Peng Revolution, the commander of the first company, saluted Zhang Qingshan and the others, turned around and waved his hand, shouted: "Go!" and took the lead.
Looking at the backs of the soldiers in the distance, until everyone disappeared around the corner, Zhang Qingshan still looked at it blankly, with extreme worry and some expectation in his eyes.
"Lao Zhang, don't worry, let's go back to the headquarters and wait for news, right?"
Zhang Qingshan turned around abruptly, glanced at Hu Yingze coldly, and said lightly: "Political commissar, I really hope I'm wrong." ”
Then, he turned around and walked back.
It can be said that this is the first time since the two met, Zhang Qingshan looked at Hu Yingze with such a cold gaze, which made Hu Yingze stunned for a long time. In the end, Hu Yingze just sighed lightly, shook his head, looked back at the direction in which the first and second companies disappeared, sighed again, and silently walked back to the headquarters.
Although he understood that Zhang Qingshan was blaming him for not maintaining a tacit understanding as before, everyone stood together, but opposed. However, Hu Yingze does not feel pity, because in his opinion, no matter what the private feelings are, but the public is public and the private is private, and it must be clearly distinguished. What's more, in the war, as the main leader of the assault group, if one is not good, the comrades below will pay huge casualties, so they must not abandon the public for personal reasons. So, he doesn't regret it. Even, he believes that if Zhang Qingshan really has a conflict with him for this reason, then he will not only look down on Zhang Qingshan from the bottom of his heart, but will not even back down in the slightest, this is the principle that a communist should have.
However, at the same time, although he felt that the night attack plan proposed by Liu Bing at that time had a great chance of success, it was not impossible for Zhang Qingshan to worry. Therefore, he supported Liu Bing at that time, but he was also a little worried in his heart. And this complicated mentality made him not know what to say, especially how to explain to Zhang Qingshan, especially when Zhang Qingshan was still obviously annoyed.
So, he could only sigh...... Let's take it one step at a time! Anyway, it won't be long before the answer will be revealed.
Of course, in his heart, he still hoped that Zhang Qingshan was wrong, so that although the sacrifice of these comrades who went to perform the task in the first company, and even the second company, was inevitable, as long as they succeeded, I believe everyone would think it was worth it.
At that time, he will not laugh at Zhang Qingshan, but will drive to Zhang Qingshan, because this is the style of a communist, and it is also the quality that an old partner should have. Of course, he believed that in case Zhang Qingshan was right, he believed that Zhang Qingshan would do the same as himself.
When I returned to the headquarters, I glanced at it and saw Zhang Qingshan alone, with his waist in his hands, his eyes fixed on the map.
Hu Yingze walked over and stood to the left of Zhang Qingshan, and did not speak directly to Zhang Qingshan, but looked at the map for a while before asking, "Lao Zhang, what are you looking at?"
"You really want to know?"
At this time, Tian Guozhong also walked to Zhang Qingshan's right, and just heard the conversation between the two, so he scolded with a smile: "Come on, Lao Zhang, what's the matter, are you still angry about what happened just now?"
"I ......" Zhang Qingshan just wanted to say, 'I am angry for the lives of more than 100 comrades in the first company, do you know that a wrong decision or a decision made by you will make 138 outstanding comrades pay the price of blood and even their lives...... but, after thinking about it, the first and second companies have set off, at this time, is there any point in arguing with them about this?
So, Zhang Qingshan had to sigh and said, "To be honest, I'm thinking, if the mission of the First Company fails, how should we deal with it next?"
"But if the task of the first company is completed, have you thought about it, how should you deal with the next step?"
"Come on. Don't talk about it either. Hu Yingze persuaded: "Now, while there is still time, I think, let's think about how to deal with the concerns you raised just now, right?"
Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong glanced at each other, and they both moved their mouths, but they didn't say anything: Hu Yingze was right, no matter whether the task of the company succeeded or failed, they must come up with a plan to deal with it.
So, next, the three of them began to seriously discuss these two response plans.
And the first and second companies directly detoured to the north city gate, taking advantage of the night and the opportunity of the little devils to deploy here, opened a corner of the city gate, and everyone rushed out, and soon drowned in the night.
Then, swim directly across the river and into the forest.
Then, relying on the familiarity with the surrounding mountains and forests, and then the cover of the mountains and forests, it took a full hour and a half to finally make a detour to the rear of the temporary camp of the army on the right side of the little devil, that is, in a col two miles to the south.
Here, the 2nd Company established a defensive line on the opposite hillside, preparing for the reception.
The first company continued to advance, directly over the low mountain, and then, while resting, sent Zhang Qingshan specially selected from the whole regiment to form three groups of 12 scouts who were the best at reconnaissance, and went to investigate the situation of the temporary camp of the little devils.
Descend the small mountain and enter a mountain that rises hundreds of meters high.
I didn't dare to walk directly on the path, but I followed the edge of the path all the way up.
Seeing that there were still 100 meters to the top of the mountain, the three groups dispersed and continued to move forward.
Zhang Jun is the leader of this special investigation team, and the group where Zhang Jun stays walks in the middle, and it is also the forefront of the entire zigzag combination.
With three comrades-in-arms, try to walk in the woods along the way, and never take the trail. Because, although the moonlight is not bright, and the clouds are very thick, the moon will not come out of the clouds from time to time, but everyone knows that the path is still clearer than the surrounding environment, if people walk on it, a little closer, or if the enemy's sentry happens to look at the path with a telescope, then it can still be seen. At least, visible at a distance. Especially if the moonlight shines down, at that time, it will make the enemy see more clearly.
I couldn't afford to take this risk, so I simply gave up my plan to take the path.
Seeing that it was only twenty or thirty meters away from the top of the mountain, without Zhang Jun gesticulating, everyone naturally increased their vigilance, became more and more cautious, and even lowered their speed quickly.
They are all veteran scouters, and they all understand this truth: the closer they are to the opponent's camp, the higher the enemy's vigilance will be, and the denser the sentinels will be. Based on past experience, we understand better that generally speaking, once the enemy puts the guard post far away, the more likely it is that the enemy's sentry is on guard. So, at this time, you have to be more and more careful.
And at this critical moment, the moon actually came to add chaos, and it didn't come out for a few minutes, but now it suddenly drilled out of the clouds, looking at its posture, I'm afraid that in the next few minutes, the moon will not hide in the clouds. That is, the difficulty has increased.
But no matter how difficult it is, everyone still has to do it, but they have to be more careful.
So, Zhang Jun drew his dagger, bit it with his mouth, and took the lead, while the other three followed him...... Everyone did not dare to bow forward, but like a four-legged snake, lying on the ground, crawling on all fours, little by little.
At a distance of twenty or thirty meters, everyone climbed for eight minutes and finally came to the top of the mountain.
Then, after looking around, they didn't find the little devil sentry, which made everyone's mood relaxed, and everyone's complexion looked better.
At the same time, there was a faint smile on everyone's faces, because, as veteran scouts, everyone can analyze whether the guard of a camp is loose or tight, and at least half of the certainty can be analyzed from the distance of the guard post it releases: the farther away the guard post is, most likely it means that the vigilance of the enemy camp is higher. On the contrary, it means that the vigilance of the enemy camp is lower. Of course, more often than not, it depends on the terrain, such as on the plains, and it is not uncommon to release the sentinels ten or even twenty miles. And in the mountains and forests, it is rare for a sentinel to release a straight-line distance of five miles.
And here, there was still about a mile and a half away from the enemy camp—only a straight-line distance, and if you really counted the distance, there was a mountain in between, and the distance would have to be at least doubled.
However, just when everyone was just breathing a sigh of relief, there was a sudden crisp sound of "pop!" not far away......
