A large number of explosives and detonators were arranged in the village in advance. It would be okay if the Japanese cavalry did not enter the village. Once they entered the village, they only had to detonate them and the little devil would be buried with the abandoned village.

"I can give you all the troops, but how can you guarantee that the Japanese cavalry will be lured over?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

If the ambush trap is well set up, no matter how many little devils come, you will not be afraid.

But the key is how to make the little devil willingly enter their ambush circle?

An arsenal? This arsenal is still fake. At present, the Japanese army does not know the location of their arsenal.

"First, if our trucks have any trouble these days, we will go to the village. It is best to have more than three trucks. At the same time, let the air defense brigade enter the village in advance. Whenever a Japanese reconnaissance plane is found, they will fire two rounds first, regardless of whether they hit

If you can't hit it, you have to let the little devil's reconnaissance plane know that this place is heavily protected."

Trucks come and go frequently, and there are anti-aircraft weapons. No one believes that this place is not an important military base!

"Second, this requires your permission. Didn't we capture a group of puppet army deserters a few days ago? Select two willing people, pretend to let them escape, and bring the information about the arsenal to the Japanese army."

The defecting puppet troops have been under house arrest in Wang County.

After receiving ideological reform, these puppet troops were relatively cooperative.

They also actively wrote letters expressing their willingness to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in persuading the puppet troops to surrender.

"Hmm... I think it would be more appropriate to reverse the first and second." Zhao Zhiguo pondered.

It is more reasonable for the puppet troops to first escape from the defense area of ​​the First Military Division and report the information to the Japanese army, who then sends planes for reconnaissance.

Moreover, after the Japanese army confirmed the intelligence, they would trust the puppet troops who fled back even more.

Obtaining such important information is a great achievement, and the Japanese army will definitely reward the two puppet soldiers.

"This is the plan. If you agree, I will send a telegram to the machine gun brigade and the air defense brigade now, asking them to go over and familiarize themselves with the terrain."

"Okay, without further ado, send them over first!" Zhao Zhiguo agreed, "I want to discuss with the political commissar about sending puppet troops back to the Japanese side."

In order to block this Japanese attack, Zhao Zhiguo must mobilize all available resources.

The Japanese cavalry is a sharp knife. If the knife in Gangcun's hand is not broken, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will have a headache.

If the Japanese cavalry were completely wiped out, Gangcun would only have armored troops and infantry left in his hands.

Each unit was equipped with forty-zero guns, and the Japanese armored units were not a concern.

Without the cover of the armored troops, the Japanese infantry are also vulnerable to beating.

Zhao Zhiguo immediately called Jinyang City. Matthew Wen was inspecting the defenses around the Jinyang area and was not in the city. He could only wait until he came back in the evening before calling Zhao Zhiguo back.

Gangcun has assembled enough troops, and there are more and more troops nearby, and Japanese soldiers can be seen at any time.

As the newly appointed commander, he tried his best to look more approachable while maintaining his dignity.

After all, the officers under him are all veteran officers who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have sufficient military command capabilities.

Gangcun made a special comment on the commander of the cavalry regiment and the commander of the armored regiment.

In order to organize this attack and achieve the goal of defeating Zhao Zhiguo's troops in one attack, Gangcun mobilized troops from surrounding areas and strengthened the total strength of the cavalry regiment.

Originally, the cavalry regiment had only three brigades with less than 4,000 troops. Now, this cavalry regiment has four and a half cavalry brigades with more than 5,000 troops.

The number of Japanese cavalry was more than ten times the number of cavalry regiments under Zhao Zhiguo.

If this group of cavalry acted in unison and ran all the way, they would see a whole group of dark clouds moving quickly.

The appearance of such a large-scale cavalry would be difficult for Zhao Zhiguo to stop even if he deployed a brigade of troops.

After all, the cavalry moved too fast, and their rifles were all bolt-action rifles. In the time it took to fire and pull the bolt, the Japanese cavalry could rush in front of them.

Machine guns and tanks are the best weapons against cavalry.

In the absence of tanks, Zhao Zhiguo could only set up a machine gun ambush circle.

In order to boost morale, Gangcun also specially inspected his cavalry troops. The horses held their heads high and their chests high, giving people a sense of oppression.

"Your Excellency, Commander, when will we launch an attack on Zhao Zhiguo? Our war horses already want to eat the flesh and blood of the Chinese army."

The captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment was awarded the rank of colonel the day before yesterday, which Gangcun fought for him.

With Gangcun's support, of course he would go into battle to kill the enemy and use his own abilities to repay Gangcun.

"With such an elite force, are you afraid that your sabers won't be able to cut off the enemy's heads?"

Gangcun was also in a good mood when he saw his cavalry unit cooperating with a regiment of armored units. He believed that no unit on Chinese soil could stop their attack.

After inspecting all the troops involved in the attack, Gangcun issued the first order to advance the defense line of the forward position twenty kilometers forward to put pressure on Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

Gangcun was not worried, Zhao Zhi would be aware of the coming attack.

Because Gangcun had this confidence, he was able to knock Zhao Zhiguo down with his first combination of punches.

"Commander, the Japanese frontline troops are advancing towards our defense area. Our troops stationed in various places have joined the battle, and most areas have blocked the Japanese attack." A staff officer reported.

"It seems that Gangcun can't help but take action." Zhao Zhiguo said, "Give me the order to move the villagers closest to the front line first. Each unit will shrink its troops and stand still, waiting for the order."

The large troops in Gangcun have not taken action yet, and the Japanese counterattack on the front line has not achieved the expected results, so there is no need to retreat.

The storm was coming, and Zhao Zhiguo knew very well that a large-scale military operation against them in Gangcun was not far away.

"Signal Corps, tell Tian Kezhi that he should speed up the deployment. Gangcun has no patience and will send additional troops to the front line in the next few days." Zhao Zhiguo said.

If Tian Kezhi had waited until the Japanese cavalry penetrated deep into their defense zone, it would have been too late to arrange everything.

"Commander, the political commissar's phone number!"

Upon hearing Matthew Wen's call from Jinyang City, Zhao Zhiguo quickly picked it up.

"Old Zhao, how is the situation over there? We have made some gains here. The Japanese army wanted to make a sneak attack, but our secret sentry discovered it. One Japanese squadron was completely wiped out by us, and the Japanese army in other directions did not

get along with."

"Political Commissar, this is just a tentative attack by Gangcun. His large troops have not been dispatched yet. I guess it will be in the past few days. What will follow is a bloody battle." Zhao Zhiguo said.
