Seeing that they were a little reluctant to speak, Tian Guozhong smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, you won't blame you even if you say it wrong. Instead, you will be right. You will be the only one who will do it."

Hearing this, Xue Honggui said: "Chief of Staff, I think I still insist on what Xiaofeng analyzed at the beginning. Since the Japanese have successively established the Lin Family Manor as a temporary ammunition depot and a temporary wounded soldier shelter. Then, the Japanese are likely to set up the here as a temporary command center."

"Is there any other reason besides the reasons you mentioned before?"

"have!"

Now, Tian Guozhong was really curious about the reason why Xue Honggui was so confident, because he didn't expect that he just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Xue Honggui really thought of other reasons.

Of course, Tian Guozhong's cunning was naturally impossible to reveal it. Instead, he smiled and nodded and said, "Tell me!"

"In addition to the reasons why Lin Family Manor itself is empty and fenced, there is another point that I suddenly thought of when I was observing the movements of the Japanese just now, that is, the issue of military strength and convenience."

Speaking of this, seeing Tian Guozhong listened confidently, Xue Honggui's confidence and courage became much greater.

"Although the Japanese have twice the strength of ours - if guerrillas and militias are included, the Japanese have almost twice the strength of the troops guarding the city of the assault regiment. But the problem is that they are the siege side, and we are the defensive side... And in street fighting, the Japanese must attack with more troops than ours, otherwise they will lose sight of one thing. In this way, the Japanese will inevitably not have as sufficient strength as they seem."

"Anyway, if the Japanese want to build the Lin Family Manor into a temporary transit station and a wounded shelter, they will inevitably send some troops to defend the Lin Family Manor. At the same time, the Japanese must set up a temporary command center. Judging from the current situation and distance, this temporary command center is of course the best place to be located in the occupied county town, so as to avoid scheduling and other problems due to distance, especially time savings. After all, the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and there is no command nearby.

Strong. If the Japanese want to set up the temporary command center in the city, no matter where they are set up, they must send heavy troops to protect them. Then, anyway, the Lin Family Manor needs to send troops to protect them, and the temporary command center also needs to send troops to protect them. Instead of sending troops to protect both ends and wasting troops, it is better to combine them into one place. In this way, not only will the troops be saved, but the conditions of the Lin Family Manor itself and the distance on the battlefield are the most suitable for these three points. Therefore, I think the Japanese will eventually set up the temporary command center in the Lin Family Manor."

"Okay! The analysis was so good."

Perhaps because Xue Honggui was a little nervous, these words seemed a bit long-winded, but what he said made sense. As the chief of staff, Tian Guozhong naturally realized this issue from a military perspective. He was naturally very happy that a squad leader could have such insights and abilities and would not be stingy to cheer him up.

"Chief of Staff, look, the Japanese have indeed begun to transfer the wounded soldiers to the Lin Family Manor."

Tian Guozhong picked up the telescope and saw at first glance that the gate of Linjia Manor was wide open, and a large group of Japanese soldiers were either carrying the wounded or helping the wounded, walking into the Linjia Manor. The medical staff in the Linjia Manor rushed out quickly... Obviously, these wounded people were originally supposed to be elsewhere, but now they were all sent to the Linjia Manor. This is also convenient for management and protection.

"Okay! It has been confirmed now that the Japanese regard the Lin Family Manor as a temporary but storage place and the wounded soldiers' shelter. Next, we must determine whether the Japanese will also set up the temporary headquarters here. This will trouble all the comrades present."

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, all our soldiers in a squad of ours guaranteed to complete the task. Whenever there is any situation, they will send a letter to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work. I will go back to the regiment headquarters first and report the situation here to the regiment headquarters..." As he said that, Tian Guozhong stood up and cheered everyone: "I hope everyone will be more cautious, not impulsive, and not alarm the snake... After the war, I personally invite all the comrades in your group, and I will definitely invite you to drink. At that time, I hope that many of the people present can participate."

"That's great, thanks to the Chief of Staff."

When Tian Guozhong returned to the regiment headquarters, he was very excited when Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze were told.

But then there were two major problems that made the three of them feel a headache.

The first is that if you want to remove the Lin family manor, you must send troops there. Moreover, you must make the worst plan, that is, you must put the ammunition depot, the wounded soldier shelter and the temporary supreme command in the Lin family manor, and you will inevitably have heavy troops to guard the guard. If you want to remove all the Japanese in the Lin family manor in this situation, you may have to attack the entire assault regiment.

However, if it is an unexpected sneak attack, although the troops can be much less, they still need a battalion.

At this time, the assault regiment's troops in Sanqiao County were already stretched due to the continuous withdrawal, so where could they temporarily withdraw the troops from a battalion? Without soldiers, all the plans were just paper talks, just thinking about it.

After some urgent discussion, the three unanimously decided to pull the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion, which had been fighting guerrillas behind the Japanese base camp, back from outside the city, and then formed a special assault brigade with the Fifth Battalion to kill the Japanese in the Lin family manor and blow up their ammunition depot.

The original defense of the East Gate of the Second Battalion was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Japanese had never had the stance to attack the East Gate. Five hundred guerrillas and a platoon of the Second Battalion kept the West Gate and the fifth battalion were drawn out, so their defense area could only be handed over to the guerrilla brigade to draw half of the troops and the Second Battalion sent a company to defend together... Although there is a certain risk in doing this, the problem is that there is no absolutely safe thing in the world, let alone in the war, if you don’t take any risks, it is called war?

Besides, the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade originally had 1,000 people, but this time he chose 500 people. Although his overall strength was not as good as a battalion, he had already come out of the war. With such strong support from the assault regiment, his strength has increased a lot. Moreover, the East Gate itself is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With these 300 people defending and being condescending, even if the Japanese want to take the East Gate, they will definitely not be able to take it down in one go. At that time, something will really happen to the East Gate. As long as the guerrilla brigade holds for half an hour, the regiment command can send guards and 500 prepared militias over there, which is definitely time.

Therefore, this move seems dangerous, but in fact the danger coefficient is not as great as everyone imagines.

But the problem is that this will arise another bigger problem: the previous plan must be adjusted significantly. This is a big taboo for military strategists to change their orders every day - everyone knows that changing generals at the last minute is a taboo for military strategists, let alone a more serious change of orders every day. If one is not good, it will lead to the possibility of losing all the battle.

But if it is not changed, this sneak attack plan will not achieve the best effect: the original plan itself was designated around the tactics of guerrilla warfare, but now it is necessary to clearly attack the Japanese in the Lin family manor. At that time, it will inevitably be a battle. Even if it is really attacked, the Japanese will definitely fight to the death while dispatching heavy troops to rescue the siege. The assault regiment must be prepared to respond. However, without the extra troops, they can only demolish the east wall and repair the west wall. This will not affect the previous combat deployment?

Such a contradiction will naturally cause trouble for the three of them.

The chief of staff Tian Guozhong proposed a compromise solution: other places remain unchanged for the time being, but the first battalion must be defended, at least until dark.

In this way, it can not only effectively restrain the Japanese's main force, but also allow the direct operation to use Yese to counterattack. It can also help to use Yese to return the first company of the Second Battalion and the Second Company from the north gate to the city... Not to mention anything else, it will take one or two hours to send people outside the city to the first company to send messages to the Second Company.

It is already more than 2:46 pm. In other words, the battle between the two sides has been fighting from the morning until now, for a full six hours, and it will take to continue fighting until dark before a temporary truce can be temporarily... Of course, this is only on the surface, because, according to the plan formulated by Zhang Qingshan and the others, after the early morning, all the troops of the assault regiment will counterattack at the night and use the cover of the night to sneak attack the Japanese and fight to regain the positions they lost during the day. After all, in the night, some of the Japanese's firepower advantages will definitely not be exerted, such as cannons.

Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze agreed with Tian Guozhong's suggestion, but when the three of them were about to discuss the proposal, they received an air defense alarm and the Japanese plane came to bomb.

Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong each held a light machine gun and fired the Japanese bombers. Although they did not shoot down the Japanese bombers, they also reflected the three of them's not afraid of death and their determination to fight to the end.

However, when the Japanese bomber completed the bombing and flew away, Zhang Qingshan looked at the Japanese bomber who was leaving for a long time. This made Hu Yingze, who was about to go to the front line to see it, feel strange.

But Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and shouted: "Lao Tian, ​​your proposal must be changed!"

Tian Guozhong quickly followed Zhang Qingshan into the command center, and Hu Yingze could only let others go to the front line to see the situation. After all, this plan was too important, and the bombing was over. No matter what the result was, it had become a fact. He could only say that he would boost morale... It is obvious at a glance which is more important.

The reason why Zhang Qingshan shouted so loudly was not that he opposed Tian Guozhong's plan, but that the plan was not strong enough and that if it was implemented, it would probably not achieve the expected results.

Zhang Qingshan decided that since the Japanese had already broken through the city wall, there was no need for everyone to fight too old-fashioned. They would not mobilize many troops, instead of squeezing from here and pulling a little from there, and simply making a big move. Except for the retreat route in the north that must be maintained, the defenders of the other two city gates could bring them all back and put them on the battlefield while leaving a small part as a warning.

In this way, not only will the tactics be much more flexible, but the troops they can use are also sufficient. However, major loopholes will also appear...
