In fact, Zhang Qingshan just advanced the plan in disguise, but the loopholes are huge.

In the original plan, everyone resisted layer by layer, leading the main force of the Japanese devils to the county government bit by bit. At the same time, the three groups of people kept disturbing the Japanese devils. But even so, everyone knew very well that it was impossible to defend the county town. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this battle was to do their best to kill the Japanese devils more, forcing them to invade the hinterland of the base due to the large casualty rate, resulting in insufficient troops.

But now, with this major discovery in the Lin Family Manor, it is worth fighting... Anyway, I know that I can't hold on, and it's no pity to try it. If I don't try it, it will be very regretful... What if it succeeds?

Now, transferring the main force of the defenders in the north and west walls is here to leave only a small part to continue defending - in fact, it is equivalent to being alert. It seems that it is to concentrate the power to attack the Japanese, but in fact, there are very big risks.

The main purpose of the attack is to attract the main force of the Japanese devils here, and then send an elite force to sneak attack the Japanese devils in the Lin family manor. However, in this way, the Japanese devils will find this, and rely on their abundant troops to send troops, and they will inevitably be able to seize one of the gates in one go, and then they can deploy them calmly.

If the Japanese take down the Ximen and the North Gate at the same time, it would be equivalent to surrounding everyone in the assault regiment city on three sides. At that time, the assault regiment would not be able to retreat. Even if the retreat was not fast, the Japanese might be bitten by the Japanese and would not be able to escape. The most serious consequence is that if the Japanese attacked at the same time, they would have to arrange a team outside the North Gate and do not need to cross the river. As long as they guarded the other side of the river, the assault regiment would be hard to fly...

...The Japanese have not launched even a nuisance attack on the North Gate until now. The main reason is that the North Gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not only because the city walls, but also the geography outside the North Gate is not suitable for siege. Secondly, it is also the main reason. The Japanese also know the cruelty of street fighting, so they don’t want to engage in street fighting, but want to force the assault regiment out of the city. In this way, the Japanese can save a lot of living forces and prepare for the next step of attacking the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base.

In other words, once the Japanese discover that the troops of the North Gate and West Gate are empty and the assault regiment is encircled by three sides, then the Japanese will achieve the strategic goal of opening the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base at the minimum cost.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Qingshan is betting that he is taking himself first, or the Japanese in the Lin family manor should form a three-sided encirclement first.

On the other hand, this is also considered as the assault regiment that is unwilling to fail, unwilling to give up Sanqiao County, and even more unwilling to just kill the Japanese devils in large numbers, but wanting to win.

That is why, even though we know that the county town will not be able to defend sooner or later, we will simply give it a try.

However, thinking about it on the other hand, the assault regiment itself has nothing to worry about: the county town will be lost sooner or later, as long as you kill more Japanese devils; the people have already moved to a safe place, and it will be much more convenient to transfer by themselves; the task of dragging Japanese devils has been completed, and you can let go of the battle next... Under such circumstances, it is a bit regrettable to lose like this, but winning has huge benefits. Anyway, there is no unnecessary loss to try. How can you know that you will not win if you don’t try?

Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong also think this is the best way at present, so this is the only way to do it.

However, Tian Guozhong still proposed carefully: Even if these troops are to be drawn, they must be after dark. In this way, one can use the night to deploy, and the other can also use the night to prevent the Japanese from discovering it. This can be delayed at least one night, which means that one more night is safe.

Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze naturally had no objection to this.

But there is a prerequisite for doing this. The first battalion must persist until dark. Otherwise, if one battalion retreats, the Japanese can directly attack the county government in the center of the city. In the original plan, at this time, because there is a crossroads in front of the county government and there is no direct access to the temporary regiment headquarters of the assault regiment, the Japanese will inevitably divide their troops. However, now that some of the previous combat plans have changed, the Japanese cannot break through the defense line of the first battalion.

...

The first battalion commander Liu Bing is now quite angry.

Although the regiment headquarters has never urged him to retreat as planned since Hu Yingze returned to the regiment headquarters, he knew in his heart that he had to go according to the plan, no matter how late it was, he had to retreat as planned.

But the problem is that he really can't retreat even if he wants to: the Japanese not only bit the first and third consecutive days, but also suddenly "opened up"... To be fair, it is a bit inaccurate to say that the Japanese "opened up" and the accurate book should be that the Japanese finally put away their arrogant and arrogant mentality and attached importance to the opponent in front of them.

At the beginning, although the Japanese suffered a small loss at the entrance of the city wall, they didn't care much. This can be seen from the fact that although the troops were abundant, they never divided the troops to advance.

You should know that there are many alleys here and there are many buildings on both sides. If such a long dragon rushes in, once a battle occurs, so many people and horses will inevitably be unable to expand their military strength. Moreover, the Japanese even sent troops to both sides to occupy the commanding heights, and they hurriedly pushed forward. This way, the soldiers who had long been ambushed on the assault regiments received from the buildings on both sides could just attack the Japanese.

However, although the arrogant Japanese devils immediately suffered a loss, they still insisted on their invincible arrogance and did not learn from the lessons. Instead, they still did their own way and continued to move forward, regardless of both sides.

Soon, after paying a certain price, we arrived at the last line of defense of the first battalion.

However, the Japanese, who had not learned the lesson and were still arrogant, was indeed a bit bad this time. Finally, he put away his attitude of being above the top and had to pay attention to the opponent in front of him: seven times in a row, and he was hit by bullets flying all over his head in every attack, crying and calling his parents, either the front was in full swing and the one behind was urgently needed to follow up and support. As a result, the one behind was blocked, resulting in the failure of the previous efforts. This also included the Japanese plane bombing. As a result, even so, it was because the commanding heights received by both sides were not taken seriously, which made the Japanese again lose their grief... After so much loss, even a pig would instinctively avoid it. However, the Japanese only woke up after seven times in a row. It can be seen how stubborn the Japanese were.

So, during the eighth attack, the Japanese who were beaten torture finally got to know each other and never dared to rely on their advanced weapons and equipment as much as possible. They were not in a hurry to attack the first and third companies directly in front of them, but first concentrated their troops and fought for an inch of land with the second company defending on the buildings on both sides of the street.

To be honest, the second company fought the most comfortable battle. It can be said that it was a condescending battle and there was no loss at all. How could it be unhappy?

So, when the Japanese attacked for the eighth time, they turned their target into the second company. The second company was really unwilling to give up such a refreshing style at the beginning, so they blocked it hard. However, the Japanese tried their best to get equipment and had a large number of people. The second company's blocking did not achieve much results, so they had to avoid its edge and temporarily retreat.

Then, the Japanese swept through each floor, one by one, and confirmed that the second company had all been removed, and then they began to attack the first and third companies on the front battlefield again.

One and three consecutive companies fought against the Japanese in a head-on battle. Although they repelled the Japanese in a row seven attacks, four of which ended in hand-to-hand combat, they killed one thousand enemies and suffered 800 damage! The two consecutive teams have suffered heavy losses and have to face the Japanese in an eighth attack.

Without the Second Company assisting the battle from the flanks, how could it be possible to defend against tanks, armored vehicles and Japanese devils who are several times more than their own with the remaining troops of the First Company and the Third Company?

As a last resort, Liu Bing had to send someone to send an order to the Second Company to regain his original position so as to continue to assist in the defense of the front battlefield.

It’s easy to sit up but harder to climb to the sky!

Although the Japanese were stubborn, they were not stupid. Since they had occupied the buildings on both sides of the street as commanding heights, how could they not send heavy troops to defend themselves? It is difficult to completely regain the positions on both sides of the street by relying on the second company's own troops, and at most they can only attack one side.

Seeing the second company commander's request for additional troops, Liu Bing was helpless, but had to recognize the reality: either send the fourth company as a reserve force, cooperate with the second company, and one company seizes one side of the street, so that it may be successful, and then continue to assist in the front defense. Or, retreat as planned, and then follow the Japanese from afar, wait until they divide their troops, then concentrate their forces as planned and eliminate one of the Japanese.

After rapid but careful consideration, Liu Bing chose the second point. After all, he thought it was time to retreat. Otherwise, not only would he not only lose his position, but it would be hard to say whether the first and third companies could all withdraw.

But just when Liu Bing was planning to order a retreat as planned, Hu Yingze came.

Hu Yingze came this time, and naturally issued an order from the regiment headquarters: the first battalion must stick to dark before retreating according to the previous plan.

Hearing this, Liu Bing was first frustrated that he had not retreated on time and according to plan, which led to the current situation; then he was furious: I did not retreat on time and according to plan, it was because I was wrong. I would kill you and cut you as you want to kill you, but the problem is, now, my battalion has suffered heavy losses, you have let me retreat, and even let me hold on until dark. Isn’t this a joke about the lives of all the officers and soldiers of my battalion?

Faced with Liu Bing's roar, Hu Yingze had no choice but to explain.

When he heard the latest decisions and deployments of the regiment headquarters, the arrogant Liu Bing finally calmed down. Moreover, under his arrogant personality, he silently accepted the new order, but he also put forward new conditions: First, add two companies to the first battalion to ensure that they can fight until dark. After being rejected, he was reduced to one company, but was still rejected. In the end, Hu Yingze reluctantly agreed to add a platoon to him; second, add weapons and ammunition to the first battalion, especially *, at least fifty boxes of supplementary boxes, and as a result, it was reduced to twenty-five boxes - the regiment headquarters' ammunition reserve was indeed sufficient at the beginning, but a lot was taken away by the troops constantly transferred from abroad. Now, there is not much left, so we must save some money. Half of it is already hard to cooperate. Third, even if the first battalion is completely spent, the first battalion must be rebuilt after the war, which was affirmed.

Afterwards, Liu Bing had to give a try for this new task...
Chapter completed!
