"You are all so arrogant after being taken prisoner. Are you the only one? Do you think you are not afraid of death, or do you think I really won't kill you?"

The captured personnel, whether soldiers or officers, all have the same temperament - arrogance!

Even if they are prisoners, they still look down on the Chinese army.

"Kill or scratch me as you please!"

The moment he was captured, the little devil knew what would happen to him.

"I have seen many prisoners like you, Lao Yao, how many prisoners of war do we have there?"

Zhao Zhiguo was furious when he saw the arrogance of the little devils. Where did their arrogant capital come from?

"Report to the captain, I am not in charge of prisoners, but there are not even one thousand but eight hundred, but there are more than a dozen captured Japanese officers, not less than one or two of them!" Yao Pengju said.

Zhao Zhiguo and the other little Japanese prisoners of war who were mining in their mines could no longer hold any more.

If Matthew Wen hadn't been there, Zhao Zhiguo would have asked Jiang Yongxin to examine them. If they were sick, they would have been shot directly, which would have saved them no work and wasted food.

"If you are not convinced, someone will convince you, and I will come to see you."

Zhao Zhiguo waved his hand, and the soldiers escorted the two Japanese commanders away.

The two Japanese majors were a little confused as to why Zhao Zhiguo didn't interrogate them and just let them go.

"Captain, I heard that we used rocket launchers in this battle?"

Yao Pengju had made a meritorious service, so of course he had to ask Zhao Zhiguo for conditions.

"You will definitely be part of the Four Zero Fire!"

Good things, of course, are indispensable for the special forces. After all, the special forces are the real number one force under Zhao Zhiguo.

Moreover, the 40-fire is a portable equipment for individual soldiers and does not occupy other firepower organizations. It is not a big problem to assign it to the special forces.

"Captain, what I want is not a rocket launcher." Yao Pengju said, "We also have an arsenal. Can we ask the arsenal to make us some time bombs?"

"Well...you can have this!"

Zhao Zhiguo had thought about the problem of time bombs before. When there was no arsenal, the most they could do was make some earthen hand grenades and landmines.

At that time, the time bomb was a highly sophisticated weapon for Zhao Zhiguo and others.

Now, they are not what they used to be. There are a large number of professional and technical workers in the arsenal. It is not a problem to transform some artillery shells into time bombs.

"Hehehehe, captain, I'm going back with my brothers. I've been sleeping in the open air and drinking the northwest wind every night for the past few days. It's time for the brothers to rest."

Before daybreak, all the troops withdrew except for one company that remained in the position.

Except for the second battalion who stayed here, the rest of the troops had to return to the Changshan garrison to rest and recuperate in preparation for fighting again in the future.

At dawn, the Japanese commander learned that one of their mountain passes had been lost, and the troops guarding the mountain pass suffered heavy losses.

"The artillery position was bombed, more than half of a brigade's troops were lost, and the headquarters was destroyed. It's a shame, a huge shame!"

Since coming to China to fight, the little Japanese commander has never suffered such a big loss.

Not only did they make little progress in their plan to encircle Zhao Zhiguo, they also continued to lose troops and generals.

When this happened, how could the Japanese commander not be worried?

"Your Majesty Commander, do you want to send troops to retake the position?"

Now is not the time to care about shame or not. They still have the opportunity to make up for their mistakes. As long as they regain their position, they can still block the mountain pass according to the original plan.

"Is Yamaguchi still important to Zhao Zhiguo?" the Japanese commander asked.

Last night's actions have shown that as long as Zhao Zhiguo's troops want to take the position, they can do so at any time.

At this time, the Japanese commander began to doubt the feasibility of this plan.

They only restricted the development of Zhao Zhiguo's troops in Xiangwang County.

However, Zhao Zhiguo's troops occupied Anyang Town, and the Japanese army was unable to capture Anyang Town. When the Japanese troops retreated, Zhao Zhiguo's troops could also develop towards Bingzhou.

There are more vast mountainous areas between Anyang Town and Bingzhou. It is not an easy task for the Japs to send troops from Bingzhou to encircle and suppress Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

When something happens and the leader's heart begins to waver, the entire army begins to change.

After all, the commanders all believed that if they could not achieve their goals, how could they, as juniors, work so hard for an unattainable goal?

When the Japanese commander said this, the surrounding Japanese officers did not refute, but something strange happened in their hearts.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't care whether the Japs would seize the position, he had no intention of holding on to it anyway.

If the Japs captured the position, Zhao Zhiguo would have peace of mind. At least he would know where the Japs were, and he would not have to worry all day long about the Japanese troops coming back to attack them.

A few days later, the Japanese troops began to gradually withdraw from the mountain passes in the northern part of Wangxian County and withdrew to the county seat of Wangxian County.

Zhao Zhiguo was a little surprised when he heard the news. The little Japanese chose to retreat voluntarily because of a defeat.

"Captain, isn't this a trap set by the little devil?" Matthew asked.

The main force of the Japanese army did not suffer much loss in combat effectiveness and still had a strong combat effectiveness. If they took the initiative to give up the mountain pass, they must be harboring worse ideas.

Zhao Zhiguo nodded: "No matter what, send people to the Wangxian area first, get in touch with our troops staying in Wangxian, and ask them to withdraw to their base as soon as possible."

Tian Kezhi and Lu Zheng are still stranded in the Wangxian area. There are wounded people around them. They need to be withdrawn in time while the Japanese army retreats.

Not only the regular troops, but also many militiamen gradually withdrew to the Changshan garrison after receiving the news.

The troops remaining in Wang County suffered heavy losses, and the company with the heaviest casualties had only thirty-two men left.

Half a month later, when the weather was freezing, Qin Weitong, who stayed in Wangxian County, sent them news that the Japanese army was recently deploying troops from Wangxian County.

"The war in the south is getting more and more intense, and the Japanese army wants to mobilize troops to reinforce the southern battlefield."

Of course Zhao Zhiguo knew what happened this winter. After this winter, the capital will be lost.

During this period of time, the main target of the Japanese army was the regular army, not these small fights behind enemy lines.

"The Japanese army's deployment of troops is a good thing for us!" Matthew said.

If the Japanese army mobilized its troops, the pressure on them would not be so great.

"It's not necessarily a good thing. The fewer Japanese troops there are in Wang County, the more they will huddle in the county."

This Japanese army was not under the control of Bingzhou and Heping City. They were under the direct command of higher-level Japanese troops.

They will not take the initiative to evacuate Wang County to avoid greater losses like Masao Murano did.

Zhao Zhiguo and the others wanted to take Wangxian, so they had no choice but to launch an attack on Wangxian.
