"Captain, this is the latest information from Xiao Chen that I just received."

It has been three days since the combat meeting.

All battalions gathered at their respective combat posts this afternoon according to the order.

At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the mountains were blue and black. Occasionally, a few beasts sounded, adding a little tension and fear to this darkness.

Zhang Qingshan led the Second Battalion and the Artillery Company, ambushing about five miles east of Sanqiao County, in a dense forest of an unknown mountain.

Looking at Zhou Baoyu's slightly frowning brows, Zhang Qingshan took the paper and asked Zhou Baoyu: "Baoyu, what's wrong with you?"

"Captain, you'd better check the information before talking about it."

When Zhang Qingshan heard this, his heart was shocked: Did something big happen?

I quickly looked at it with the help of the flashlight.

In the combat plan determined by the assault regiment, the old method is still adopted: the assault company sneaks into the county town in advance, and after the battle begins, it will seize the east gate of the county town according to the situation, give the enemy an inside and outside blossom, and break the county town in one fell swoop... The prescribed time for the general attack is at 5 a.m. tomorrow.

But it still responds to the old saying "plans cannot keep up with changes."

According to the information three days ago, the Japanese blocked the north gate of Sanqiao County, so Zhang Qingshan chose the main attack direction to be the east gate of the county. However, the information in his hand now shows that at noon today, for some reason, the Japanese in Sanqiao County suddenly blocked the west gate and east gate of the county with stones and other things, leaving only one south gate to enter and exit.

After reading this telegram, he handed it to the Chief of Staff of the regiment, Tian Guozhong, beside him, but Zhang Qingshan frowned.

After reading the telegram, Tian Guozhong asked, "Baoyu, did the comrades in the city tell what the situation was, and the Japanese suddenly did this?"

"No!" Zhou Baoyu shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Just yesterday, the city gate was closed at 8 o'clock in the evening in the county town, but today, they closed the city gate just as the sun sets. This information was still important by the comrades in the city, so they took the risk of climbing over the city wall with ropes."

Tian Guozhong and Zhang Qingshan looked at each other and saw a big question mark in each other's eyes: Could it be that someone leaked the news?

If someone really misses the news, then the problem is big: this battle has decisive significance in both the strategy of the assault regiment and the overall direction of the local war of resistance, which is of great significance. The assault regiment naturally attaches great importance to this battle, otherwise, Zhang Qingshan would not have been strongly required to lead troops to fight under the suspension.

The battle meeting was held once, and those who knew the battle plan were not only qualified to know the battalion-level commander, except for the company of the special nature of the assault company. In other words, whether it was leaked by accident or someone who really rebeled and surrendered to the enemy, their level in the assault regiment was not low. In this way, both the seriousness of the problem and the influence were definitely not small.

Moreover, once the combat plan is leaked, the difficulty of the siege will inevitably increase. Not to mention, even if the combat plan is not leaked, the Japanese have bet on all three gates, including the main attack point previously formulated by the assault regiment - the East Gate. This alone increases the difficulty of the assault regiment's attack strength, and it is very likely that the assault regiment will focus on the only import and export - the South Gate.

In this way, it seems that the same is concentrating troops to attack one point, but the problem is that the Japanese can also concentrate their main forces to defend. Compared with this, attacking one side will inevitably suffer a loss.

However, you can’t discuss this in front of Zhou Baoyu, right?

Tian Guozhong thought for a while and asked, "Have the assault company not yet sneaked into the city?"

The assault company is naturally an important part of the flowering inside and outside. However, in the past few days, the Japanese have significantly increased their search for people entering and leaving. In many cases, they don’t even want the Japanese to come to the city gate to check, but they personally go on the battlefield and execute meticulously. It is particularly worth noting that the Japanese have rarely taken advantage of women when searching for their bodies for the first time. And the Japanese's temperament suddenly made a 180-degree turn, achieving

If a dog doesn't eat shit, there is only one possibility: there is greater pressure, so they have no intention of doing anything else. But at this time, there is only one reason that can make the Japanese feel such huge pressure: the assault group is coming to attack them. Otherwise, neither the orders of the superiors nor the resistance of the local people will put them in such great pressure. After all, there are policies from the superiors and countermeasures from the lower levels, which is universal, and only external pressure will force them to have no other intentions.

The underground comrades in the city also reported a warning: After observations over the past few days, it is now that as long as three or more people enter the city, especially men, the Japanese will find various excuses, either detain them or go to build bunkers around the Japanese camp in the city.

In other words, if the assault regiments do not interfere in the city on a large scale, even if a small number of comrades get in, they don’t have weapons, especially if they cannot bring explosive bags in, then the meaning of interfering in is not great.

"More than an hour ago, the news from Captain Zhao said that they were still thinking of ways."

Tian Guozhong pondered for a moment, sighed, and said to Zhou Baoyu: "Forget it, you send someone to notify the assault company. If you really can't think of a solution, don't force it, so as not to alarm the enemy. Let's go back first, let's think of other solutions together."

"yes!"

After Zhou Baoyu left, Zhang Qingshan winked at Tian Guozhong and the two walked towards the top of the mountain.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Qingshan looked at the gray sky with his hands behind his back, and the earth was dark and dark, especially the lines formed by the intersecting mountains and sky in his sight. It clearly makes people feel the magnificence of mountains and rivers, and the beautiful rivers and mountains in his heart couldn't help but feel the strong feeling. If we were combined with the current situation, we would add a sentence: If we lose, we will be ashamed.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong?"

"What do you think about this?"

"What's up?"

"Don't pretend, you don't know what I'm referring to?"

Tian Guozhong smiled and didn't say anything, but stood side by side with Zhang Qingshan, looking at the beautiful rivers and mountains for a long time without saying a word.

A little later, he suddenly said with great emotion: "Looking at this beautiful river and mountain, the arrogance in his heart couldn't help but rise, but as soon as he thought of a few rat shit mixed in this beautiful river and mountain, he would feel so nervous if he didn't remove it."

Zhang Qingshan glanced at him, but nodded instead... There were still eight or nine hours left to start the general attack, and there was plenty of time. Moreover, the three battalions and the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade were all in place, not far from the county town. Whether it was to slightly adjust the main attack direction or notify each unit, there was time. Besides, there was no need to make a big change because the Japanese suddenly blocked the other two city gates, just change the attack direction slightly.

"I think there are three possibilities: First, someone betrayed and surrendered to the enemy and leaked the combat plan; second, it was a complete coincidence; third, the news of the first and third battalions mobilized here." Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong glanced at Zhang Qingshan and smiled: "I personally think that this kind of thing should not be a coincidence. Of course, even if it is a coincidence, as long as there is no problem within us, there is no need to worry too much. After all, the battlefield situation changes rapidly and all kinds of possibilities exist. Second, I think it is not someone betrayed and surrendered to the enemy and leaked the combat plan. Because we have been together for a while, even if we want to leak it, we cannot convey the information. Liu Bing and Qi Zixuan are both veterans from the Long March. Whether it is political thoughts or personal qualities, I believe they will not be so unwise. From the perspective of the general environment, our assault regiment is now fighting against the Japanese. Under such a big situation, even the fence-bearer knows how to make a decision..."

Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong smiled at Zhang Qingshan and said, "The locals do not have telegrams. The locals want to know the environment outside, and it is impossible for them to be so fast."

This is the reason: the transmission of news takes time, especially if such news is transmitted, it does not come with confidence even if it is transmitted to you. The hearing is false, but seeing is true! No matter what the situation outside, the ordinary local people only see the fact that the assault group is suppressing the Japanese and beating them. Therefore, in such a local environment, even a fence-bearing man will naturally think that it is better to follow the assault group to beat the Japanese. After all, following the strong is better than following the weak to resist the strong, let alone the weak is still the Japanese. If he follows them, wouldn’t he behave as a second Japanese and humiliate his ancestors?

"So, I think it can only be the third item, that is, when the First Battalion and Third Battalion withdrew from the Longfeng County County, they were secretly discovered by the Japanese agents lurking in the county. Moreover, neither the Spy nor the Japanese could be sure whether the First Battalion and Third Battalion really returned to Qinglong Mountain or had other tasks. Therefore, for the sake of being safe, the Japanese could only do the strongest defense and protect it first, which is also the smart side of the Japanese..."

"Damn it seems that I'm not cruel enough to kill the two traitors!"

Tian Guozhong didn't hear Zhang Qingshan's muttering clearly, and asked in confusion: "Lao Zhang, what are you muttering?"

"Nothing, I'm just worried that something might be wrong with us."

"Old Zhang, there is no need to worry about this. Let's think about how to break the city now, right? This is the top priority."

"Well! Your analysis makes sense. However, there is another thing you didn't say, but I understand, that is, whether it is military strength or overall strength, here, we are at least twice as strong as the Japanese and Japanese in the county. No matter what conspiracies he has, we just need to crush them upright and all of them have to see the King of Hell."

"This is awesome!" Tian Guozhong laughed and said, "In fact, no matter how the enemy changes, the initiative is always in our hands. In addition, our strength is much stronger than the enemy, so if you want to fight, you can fight that, and fight whatever you want. The enemy can only defend passively and run away. Sooner or later, this city will be broken by us."

"With that being said, Lao Tian and the Japanese have much fewer people than us, but their weapons and equipment are better than us. Moreover, I believe that their reserves must be very sufficient. After all, they have basically moved all the weapons and ammunition reserves of the three counties to this place, and in a short period of time, there will be no worries in this regard."

"It's true. If it really doesn't work, we will exchange the shells for the casualty rate of the soldiers. Let's concentrate all the shells and attack them one point. I still don't believe it, and I can't knock down a piece of the city wall."

After the two talked for a while, Zhang Qingshan smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Tian, ​​let's not cheer each other up. Let's talk about how we fight here because of this incident caused by the Japanese devils?"
