Tonight!

The moon is bright and the stars are bright, and together they form a refreshing and fascinating star map in the sky.

On the ground, buildings that were exploding by artillery fire during the day were still not extinguished at this time.

There are a bunch of them in the east and a little west, like the stars in the sky, lit up and illuminating the surroundings. Among them, the assault regiment is now the most common in the north area of ​​the city where beasts are trapped, which is also the Japanese want to fight tonight, and they are constantly bombing the northern area during the day. For this reason, even the Japanese bombers have come twice.

It can be said that almost all buildings in the entire Beicheng area were in great danger, and large areas were destroyed.

However, in the entire county town, especially in the north area, which is slightly close to the city wall section, there is no light at this time, and everyone depends on the moonlight to see the things. Because, at this time, a large number of people are entering and leaving inside and outside the city.

The most important thing is to transfer the wounded - the assault regiment suffered heavy casualties, and the minor wounded were unwilling to go off the line of fire, which led to the serious wounded being lying here. Although some seriously injured people had been continuously transferred out of the city, the Japanese had suddenly accelerated the speed and intensity of the attack after blowing up the streets and alleys along the way, and the assault regiment naturally blocked more tenaciously, which led to a more tragic battlefield, and the serious wounded naturally increased sharply. This increased the difficulty of transporting seriously injured people.

Especially in terms of time, because the Japanese made a premeditated acceleration, the assault regiment was a little unable to adapt for a while, resulting in a sharp increase in the transfer of seriously injured people, Zhang Qingshan had to draw out all militias to serve as stretchers, helping to transport the wounded, and also transfer all militias and civilians. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transfer the original hundreds of seriously injured people and the suddenly increased by more than 200 seriously injured people in a short time... The seriously injured people must be careful, and they must not just bump into them. You must know that any carelessness may increase the injuries of the seriously injured people, or even cause their deaths.

The Fourth Battalion is responsible for the handling and safety work outside the city.

This battle was too hard and too tragic.

The first battalion suffered the most heavy losses. It blocked the Japanese in the front of Xiama Street. Although they fought bravely and tenaciously, they completed the mission extremely well. However, facing the many well-equipped Japanese and Japanese aircraft and cannons, the first battalion itself also paid a huge casualty rate: there were 750 people before the entire battalion participated in the war. As a result, when they were withdrawn, they counted: 48 seriously injured people, almost everyone was slightly injured, but nearly 500 people died.

When he saw this casualty rate, looking at the more than 100 people in front of him, Liu Bing, the proud battalion commander, was heartbroken and kneeled on the ground and cried loudly. Many soldiers cried, even the stretcher team and propaganda team members on the side followed and cried while walking.

The situation of the Fourth Battalion was not much better. Although they did not directly participate in the defense of Sanqiao County, in order to support the defense of Sanqiao County, they fought against the main force of the Japanese on Qinglong Mountain. Although they killed and injured many Japanese, they successfully delayed the pace of the Japanese middle army and completed the established tasks. However, they paid a casualty rate of more than 400 people for this. When they were ordered to feel that outside Sanqiao County, Zhang Qingshan felt sorry for them, so they kept hiding outside the city and repaired them.

Now, the Fourth Battalion is responsible for the guards who transport serious wounded people.

The casualty rate of these two battalions has long exceeded the concept of more than half of the casualties, and it has been considered to be disabled. And these two battalions have been destroyed to the point where they can cancel their numbers, which means that more than half of the casualties of the assault regiment have...

The situation in the Third Battalion is not very good, because it can be imagined with your butt. To attack the Japanese military camp in the county is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. There is no need to say much about the casualty rate. Being able to complete the task is enough to give everyone a big surprise.

The casualty rate of militia was not high, but they were also very tenacious, especially the two hundred militias who participated in the blocking battle in Xiama Street, only fifty or sixty survived. From this point of view, we can see that they were not afraid of war, but instead killed the enemy very bravely. Of course, from this aspect, it can be seen that the militias were indeed far from the regular army in terms of training, actual combat, or experience in the battle.

If the Fifth Battalion had not been guarding the retreat route and did not directly participate in the battle, the Second Battalion had been used as a support to defend the other two city gates. In addition, the Second Battalion had been drawn out of two companies to sneak attack the Japanese temporary military camp. Although it was not successful, it had saved these two companies. Therefore, it was precisely because of these two battalions that the assault regiment could still have the power to fight. Otherwise, if these two battalions were as heavy casualties as those two battalions, the assault regiment would have to be forced to retreat on their own initiative, and would not have the power to fight in this battle, let alone give the Japanese another ruthlessness to take the revenge.

However, whether it is the soldiers of the assault regiment or the militia, even if there is such a heavy casualty rate, even if everyone knows that they can't defend it, the passion is even more exciting, and they all demand to join the war, fight one battle, and fight another battle!

Zhang Qingshan and others were not convinced, or were unwilling to give up, because they had another expectation in their hearts: if the Third Battalion succeeded, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Japanese morale. Then, everyone would likely take advantage of the excellent opportunity of the Japanese military's morale being fluctuating and their morale dropped significantly to give the Japanese a ruthless blow.

Another reason is that because the Japanese suddenly accelerated and increased their offensive efforts, the assault regiment caught them off guard, which made the seriously injured too late to transfer. Therefore, even in order to give these seriously injured enough time to transfer, the assault regiment must guard it again, at least until the seriously injured, civilians and militia are all safely transferred out of the city.

Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone received such an order from Zhang Qingshan: the combatants of the assault regiment stayed and all the rest were transferred.

However, Hu Yingze, who has always been stingy in logistics, has also made up his mind to some "kars and jars" that he really can't take, and anyone who can't take them away must be concentrated at the gate of the North City before retreating, and no bullet or grain of food will be left for the Japanese... In this way, it can not only play a role in strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, but also use the fires ignited by these things to block the Japanese's pursuit.

Because the Japanese continued to bombard the northern part of the city during the day, a large number of buildings were blown up. Now, Zhang Qingshan and his temporary regiment headquarters are located on the first floor of a three-story building - the front of a shell was concentrated, resulting in the third floor of the building being blown up, and a small part of the second floor was exposed. However, the building was built with cement and was very solid. The first floor was still safe and there were no signs of collapse.

But even so, at night, Zhang Qingshan and the others had to use cloth and other covers to block the windows from the inside to prevent light from leaking out, which would attract Japanese artillery shells or sneak attacks.

At this time, the temporary conference room was filled with smoke. Because the surroundings were covered tightly, the air circulation was not very smooth, so the smoke seemed particularly large. Fortunately, all the smokers were all present, so they didn't care about such smoke. On the contrary, they all had a solemn expression because of the situation on the battlefield, so they naturally didn't feel the mood to care about smoke, and they smoked even more.

In the conference room, Zhang Qingshan held his hands behind his back, his eyes staring at the hanging military map, speechless for a long time.

Hu Yingze is responsible for transporting the wounded, and is not here now, but Tian Guozhong, the chief of staff of the regiment, will never be absent at such an important moment. He sat in a chair, frowned and looked up at the military map.

However, Xiao Wei and five other staff members were all focused and held their breath. Some looked at Zhang Qingshan or Tian Guozhong from time to time, while others were also staring at the military map.

The atmosphere of the war is fully revealed here.

The combat plan has actually been done long ago and has been sent out long ago.

But everyone understands that when it is really time to implement, there are a few combat plans that can be implemented smoothly? Various accidents alone are enough to make people feel a headache. At most, they just hope that the results can achieve the planned results, which is enough to make everyone smile - whether it is the enemy or various accidents, the plan makers will always be filled with various "surprise".

Seeing Zhang Qingshan like this, Tian Guozhong thought about it and asked, "Old Zhang, it is not a solution to wait like this. Why don't I take people to the Second Camp to have a look?"

This was the atmosphere before the war, and it was the same for the highest command: everything was ready, and now, I just waited to take action before making adjustments based on the actual situation. However, before the deployment was carried out, for the highest command, there was really nothing to do, and I could only wait for the battle to begin. Of course, I had no intention of doing anything else.

"Cough! Cough!" Zhang Qingshan coughed twice, turned around and found smoke in the conference room. After coughing twice, he said, "Xiao Wei, open the windows behind, because the smoke here is too strong."

The row of windows behind faces the North City Gate and is in its own defense zone, so it is much safer.

He said that, but after Zhang Qingshan sat down, he put the cigarette butt in his hand on the teapot and put it out, then grabbed the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette, and did not forget to hand it to Tian Guozhong. After seeing Tian Guozhong holding the cigarette in his hand, Zhang Qingshan lit another cigarette.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled the smoke and said, "Since the plan has been formulated, I believe they will strictly implement it, so we don't have to go over and supervise it... Lao Tian, ​​if you really can't sit still here, I think you'd better go to Lao Hu to take a look. Maybe his place is busy now."

"I won't go to Lao Hu's place wherever I go. I don't want to be captured by him."

"It's also a good thing to be arrested for a strong man. At least, it's much better than sitting here and waiting for the result, right?"

"Then why don't you go?"

"I am the regiment commander and in charge of military affairs. Can I leave at this time?"

"I am the chief of staff and the military in charge. Can I be arrested again?"

As they were talking, both of them laughed.

After the two chief officials said this, the originally solemn atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became relaxed.

But at this moment, gunfire suddenly came from outside, but Zhang Qingshan didn't look over there at all. Instead, he immediately took out his pocket watch. When he saw the time, Zhang Qingshan's brows suddenly frowned...
Chapter completed!
