"Why, you're sulking?"

At the temporary command of the Sanqiao County Assault Regiment, Zhang Qingshan sat in the yard, crossed his legs and smoked, and silently looked at the stars in the sky. He didn't move for a long time, and even Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong came to him.

Zhang Qingshan's guard Sun Bingcheng quickly came over with two chairs for them to sit, and then quietly retreated under the eaves.

"Yes! Lao Zhang, all of them have passed. Although nine excellent investigators have been sacrificed, the Yilian and Erlian have not suffered any losses. This is a blessing in disgrace."

Zhang Qingshan, who came to his senses after hearing Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong's words, smiled and shook his head. He picked up the telegram on the small table in front of him and smiled bitterly: "I was very happy to receive the news from the first and second companies, and I was even happier when I received this telegram. However, when I was sitting here, I suddenly realized that I could not be happy."

"Why?"

Zhang Qingshan put the telegram on the small table, picked up the cigarette on the small table, handed them each, and took out one.

Illuminated the smoke, took a breath, and in the smoke slowly exhaled, Zhang Qingshan's voice became a little low: "I mainly think that my grandparents have been poor all their lives, and my parents have been poor all their lives. In my generation, they are still poor. It's not that we don't work hard... Lao Hu, don't talk, I know you want to talk about oppression and other things, but what I want to say is that in addition to internal reasons, there are external reasons."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan took a deep breath of cigarettes and continued, "My grandfather said that in the late Qing Dynasty, foreign devils bullied us Chinese. My father said that since the early years of the Republic of China, we were still bullied by foreign devils. But now, the devils have become more and more powerful, and have directly sent troops to invade us, hoping to destroy our country and destroy our race. Then I am thinking, after we kill all the devils, we can really live a prosperous and healthy life, especially if no foreigners dare to bully us?"

Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong looked at each other, and they were speechless: It would be great if they would take one step and three steps. You kid, you just want to see the end. By the way, you don’t have the same way as you worry about it! We are fighting head-on with the Japanese. It’s still a little bit whether we can defend this small county town in the next moment. You should just think about what happened after driving away the Japanese. What you are thinking about is whether you will continue to be bullied by other foreign Japanese. This is really speechless.

"Cough! Cough!"

After Hu Yingze deliberately coughed twice, he said, "Old Zhang, what's wrong with you? Well, why did you suddenly think so far?"

"Aren't I just doing nothing?" Zhang Qingshan smiled, pointed to the starry sky, and said, "Looking at the starry sky, my mind seemed to be widening suddenly, and I couldn't help but think so far."

"By the way, you two are looking for me, are there anything wrong?"

"Yeah!" Tian Guozhong nodded and said, "That's right. The Fourth Battalion successfully blew up the transport convoy of the Japanese Central Army, especially the bombings. I guess that although the Japanese in front of mechanized troops, there seemed to be few transport vehicles following them. In other words, the Japanese in front of me were probably vanguards and did not carry much ammunition. The Japanese left-wing army was basically a decoration and there was no time left. That is to say, the transport convoy of the Japanese Central Army was only responsible for transporting ammunition to the Japanese in front of me... I was so dry, so I'll talk about it."

After saying so much in one breath, Tian Guozhong quickly poured himself a glass of water, took a few sips, put down his cup, wiped his mouth, and continued: "From the battle in the evening, the ammunition of the Japanese in front of him must have been consumed very well. I dare not say anything else, but I can be sure that the amount of medicine carried by these Japanese in themselves may not be able to support tomorrow's war. At least, the Japanese in the war tomorrow will never be able to provide the amount of ammunition like this bombarded this evening."

As he said that, Tian Guozhong took two cigarettes and said, "This determines that the Japanese will play only two ways tomorrow: the first is to compete for the number of people! Taking advantage of the number of people, they will fight for huge losses and forcefully attack the city. The second is to siege without attacking. At least they have to wait until the ammunition is replenished before they will continue to attack the city..."

After Tian Guozhong glanced at Zhang Qingshan, he saw Zhang Qingshan smoking a cigarette and was silent. Obviously listening carefully, and continued: "I personally think that the probability of the first situation is very small, because although the Japanese are more troops than us, the Japanese are in short supply, and they are far from us. This determines that the Japanese will not fight against us in the number of people. Moreover, if they fight against the number of people alone, the defenders will definitely take a big advantage. Even if they capture this county town, I dare to be sure that without the support of artillery, they will have to pay at least two-thirds of the price. What's more, the most important thing is that the Japanese have a big appetite this time, but they will lose two or three thousand people to seize our county town. Then, not only will they not have the spare energy to go deep into the base area, but they can't even defend our counterattack."

"And I think the second point is very likely, because based on the above reasons, these Japanese devils must wait until their middle army comes to meet them. In this way, at least in terms of number of people, they are several times more than us, and have an overwhelming advantage, so that they can take the lead in various methods of siege on the basis of having a huge advantage in number of people. However, we can only defend passively. Maybe, in the face of huge pressure, we even have to give up this county town on the voluntary basis..."

Tian Guozhong picked up the water cup again, drank the remaining water, and smiled and said to Zhang Qingshan: "Lao Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Qingshan did not sarcastically about the previous incident, and he was not in the mood to think about this now.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Qingshan took out another cigarette, lit it with a cigarette butt, and then put it out, and said, "I agree with your analysis. However, as far as the siege is concerned, have you ever thought about it? According to the telegram from the Fourth Battalion, after the Japanese army lost the help of the car, they could only walk on two legs, dozens of kilometers away, and with the ones carrying medicine and supplies on their shoulders, they would have to walk for a day. And the Japanese in front of them were only about four or five thousand people, although it was almost the same as us, the problem was that in terms of the siege, these thousands of people were not enough, so how could they surround us?"

Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong looked at each other, frowned, and looked at Zhang Qingshan at the same time.

"Don't look at me, although this question was raised by me through in-depth analysis, to be honest, I won't know the answer for a while." Zhang Qingshan's brows also frowned after a bitter smile.

"Will the little ghosts not besieged us?"

As soon as Hu Yingze asked this question, Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong shook their heads at the same time and replied: "No!"

"Then is it possible for them to bypass us and continue to go deeper into the base?"

Hu Yingze was also anxious, otherwise he would not have asked such a superficial question, which made Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong look at him at the same time, and he was too lazy to answer.

However, Hu Yingze was really dissatisfied and said seriously: "Don't think that the question I raised is a bit stupid, but don't forget that the Japanese's middle army is rushing to us. Once they arrive here, they can temporarily replenish the artillery shells they carry to the Japanese in front of them. Then, the Japanese's Zhonglun army can take over the tasks of these Japanese in front of them and continue to confront us. The Japanese in front of them can continue to go deep into our base. We will not only be dragged here, but may even do nothing. The biggest possibility is to be eaten by the Japanese's middle army bit by bit. You must know that once the Japanese's middle army is replenished, then they can fight us well with their superior troops and sufficient ammunition... at least they can be used as a transit station to provide various guarantees for the Japanese's right army."

Tian Guozhong thought for a while, nodded, and said, "What Lao Hu said is not unreasonable, but if the Japanese army continues to go deeper, their shells will definitely be consumed very quickly. How can they replenish them?"

"Don't forget, it's only a few hundred kilometers away from Sanzhi City. It won't take long for the Japanese to fly over to run back and forth. At that time, the plane will be airdropped. Although it may be a drop in the bucket, as long as they take steady steps, there is really such a possibility. What's more, Japanese can still use the Central Army to stay here as a transit station, or send reinforcements to come with sufficient supplies... Anyway, the initiative is in their hands, and they have enough channels and personnel to replenish supplies, even soldiers."

"Ha!" Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and smiled, "Old Hu is right, but I think there is still a possibility."

When the two stopped arguing and looked over together, Zhang Qingshan said: "Don't forget that the fire of the Fourth Battalion not only burned half of the Japanese ammunition, but also other supplies, such as food."

Tian Guozhong was shocked and almost stood up. He asked, "Old Zhang, what do you mean is that they not only want to besiege the county town, but also send troops around to grab grain?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Qingshan nodded and said seriously: "So, the Japanese will definitely surround us... Huh~!"

As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan seemed to have thought of something, looked at Hu Yingze in surprise and asked: "Old Hu, do you remind us not to defend a county town to the death, otherwise you will lose the initiative and be beaten passively. Only by going out can you use guerrilla warfare and consume with the Japanese, and finally force him to get out of here. Is that what he meant?"

Hu Yingze was stunned by the words and said with a smile: "I didn't think of these things. But now, after hearing what you mentioned, it seems that it really means something..."
