Chapter 1315 Pressure on Bingzhou
"Jiangcheng, it's Jiangcheng again, our supplies are even scarcer!"
Hearing such an excuse, the Japanese division commander in Bingzhou wanted to burn down the office of the staff headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, if our troops gain a firm foothold in Jiangcheng, they can pose a threat to Zhao Zhiguo's defense area from the southeast, which will be beneficial to us." said the Japanese Chief of Staff.
Jiangcheng is completely in the hands of the Japanese army. No matter which direction the Japanese army uses troops, it will be very advantageous.
Moreover, the defense area of the First Military Division will become the most prominent part of the entire Chinese defense area, facing threats from the Japanese army from three directions.
After Jiangcheng was captured, it could indeed pose a threat to Zhao Zhiguo's defense area.
However, the current situation in Bingzhou is already urgent. By the time Jiangcheng poses a threat to Zhao Zhiguo's defense zone, the Japanese graves in Bingzhou will already be two meters high.
"Can we survive until that time? After Bingzhou falls into the hands of Zhao Zhiguo, even if Jiangcheng can pose a threat to Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Zhiguo already has a safe enough rear."
After Bingzhou fell into the hands of Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Zhiguo no longer had to worry about instability in the west. He could use the troops defending the west to deal with the southeast.
Maybe Zhao Zhiguo's troops can march to the southeast and seize Jiangcheng. All this is unknown.
If Jiangcheng falls into the hands of Zhao Zhiguo and Zhao Zhiguo's troops move down the river, the Chinese little devils will really be driven into the sea by Zhao Zhiguo.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the people over there are still in our defense area, and they have expressed their willingness to provide us with some supplies." the Japanese division chief of staff reminded.
There was not only the little Jaap but also one person who was unwilling to let Bingzhou fall into the hands of Zhao Zhiguo.
This person also knew the current situation facing the Japanese army in Bingzhou, and in order to allow them to weaken Zhao Zhiguo's strength, they were willing to provide some supplies.
"What conditions do they have?" asked the Japanese division commander.
"After the merged state is stabilized, both parties only need to return the supplies!"
How could those people not know that putting these supplies into the little devil's mouth is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
It is obviously impossible to get the supplies back, but what does it mean to sacrifice some supplies in order to weaken Zhao Zhiguo?
The Japanese division commander also knew the nature of their Japanese army. He sneered and thought to himself, how could he return the supplies? Let alone return them. If the supplies were sufficient, his troops would definitely continue to advance westward.
Negotiating terms with a kid is like seeking skin from a tiger.
"Promise them!"
Don't let the things that come to your door be free of charge, and sending them supplies at this time will give them a chance to breathe when they are dying.
As long as we can take a breath of relief, there is still hope of solving the crisis in Bingzhou.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the latest situation at the frontier is that the Eighth Route Army does not seem to have any plans to advance westward. Only the outermost strongholds have been attacked."
"Tell the frontier not to be careless. Zhao Zhiguo has many tricks, maybe to paralyze us." The division commander did not dare to relax at all. "In addition, we sent out scouts to keep an eye on the Eighth Route Army's movements, and sent out troops to guard the northern part of the Three Gorges."
The entrance and exit of the zone must not allow Zhao Zhiguo's troops to enter our defense zone from the north."
The Sangui zone in the north had complex terrain, very difficult roads, and difficult supplies. The Japanese army did not expect that Zhao Zhiguo's troops would emerge from the north.
The pressure from one direction alone has already made the Japanese army in Bingzhou breathless. If Zhao Zhiguo built a supply line in the north and exerted pressure from the north, the Japanese army would have to disperse their limited forces.
Zhao Zhiguo's action this time served as a wake-up call to the Japanese troops in Bingzhou. Now that they had a small number of troops, they could block the entrances and exits in the north and relieve their pressure.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, our latest support troops have arrived at the front line and have not found the Chinese army!"
After winning the battle, Takakura's troops didn't even bury the bodies. They just collected weapons and ammunition and then retreated.
"What does Zhao Zhiguo want to do?"
The Japanese division commander did not understand Zhao Zhiguo's sudden move at all.
"Is he just trying to weaken our defenses?"
Supplies from outside come in, but additional soldiers cannot come in either.
Every death of the Japanese army in Bingzhou means one less combat effectiveness. Although this operation only killed a few hundred Japanese soldiers, if this continues again and again, it will weaken a lot of the Japanese soldiers.
"I suggest that we abandon the most forward positions and concentrate our troops on the first line of defense. In this operation, Zhao Zhiguo's troops were so fast that we had no time to react. If we redeploy our troops to the original place, our losses will be even greater.
." Japanese Chief of Staff suggested.
The original bunkers and gun towers have been destroyed and can no longer be used.
At this time, shrinking the troops and concentrating on defense can avoid greater losses when Zhao Zhiguo's troops make a surprise attack.
The Japanese army in Bingzhou decided to readjust their deployment, voluntarily abandoned various small strongholds, concentrated all their forces, and deployed defenses at important intersections and towns.
"Team leader, have you heard that the First Military Division launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army? The Japanese army suffered hundreds of casualties. Even the little Japs had no time to react. You can imagine how powerful our troops in the First Military Division are.
"
The Japanese troops were attacked and the news spread like wildfire that they suffered heavy losses. Naturally, the lurkers were the happiest people.
"Brother, do you think Commander Zhao and the others are about to launch an attack?" Gu Ning'er looked forward to Bingzhou being recaptured every day.
"The time has not come yet. If the time comes, it will definitely not be a simple raid. It will take advantage of the Japanese army's lack of time to react and let the large troops come up quickly to surround and annihilate the Japanese reinforcements." Team Leader Gu said.
If Zhao Zhiguo really deployed a large number of troops, the Japanese reinforcements who came to support may have been in a bitter battle by now, and the Japanese casualties would not have been only a few hundred people.
"Hey... I still want to see Commander Zhao. I heard that he was already the colonel commander when he was in the Jinsui Army, and he was the youngest colonel in the history of the Jinsui Army. After joining our army, he became
He became the commander of the first military division."
Many underground personnel in Bingzhou have heard of Zhao Zhiguo's deeds. After all, when they infiltrated Bingzhou, Bingzhou was still Mr. Yan's territory.
Later, Zhao Zhiguo's performance on the battlefield was so dazzling that he naturally attracted a lot of admiration.
Many people want to be a soldier under him and charge into battle under his command.
"I've seen him!" Gu Ning'er said, "He is indeed young and quite tall, but a little thin."
When Zhao Zhiguo entered Bingzhou, he did have a chance encounter with Gu Ning'er, and it was that chance encounter that made Yao Pengju fall in love with Gu Ning'er.
"How is his behavior? Is he like our team leader, who has a cold face all day long?"
Team leader Gu looked at his team members with an unhappy expression: "I've only met him once, who knows what his personality is like!"
