As Gangcun sent out his reserve team, the Japanese army temporarily stabilized the front in the direction of Jinyang.

Ma Xiuwen and Qin Dongsheng did not expect that the little devil still had more than 10,000 living forces in his hands.

The little Japanese reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, but Qin Dongsheng's troops could no longer move forward and had to stop the attack.

"The old devil Gangcun saved him because of the backup he had left for himself. He thought we could launch a counterattack and break the balance of this battle."

Now Zhao Zhiguo and his troops are at a balance point in battle with the Japanese army, and no one can do anything to defeat the other.

"Commander, how about I take the special forces out to try my luck?" Yao Pengju said.

The appearance of any force on the battlefield may break this balance. It depends on who can find a combat opportunity that is more beneficial to their own side.

Although the number of special forces troops is small, one can equal ten.

If they succeed in infiltrating and killing several Japanese commanders, the Japs will retreat without a fight.

"Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army troops behind enemy lines are actively taking action. Let's give them some time to come out." Zhao Zhiguo said.

The longer they remain in a stalemate with the main force in Gangcun, the emptier the Japanese army's rear becomes, and the more conducive it is for the Eighth Route Army's armed forces behind enemy lines to take action against the Japanese army.

For example, by attacking gun towers and strongholds, the supplies captured can solve the problem of insufficient supplies for troops behind enemy lines.

"Then we can't eat up the Japanese cavalry and armored troops. If this bait is lost, Gangcun may withdraw its troops."

If the cavalry and armored forces are completely wiped out, Gangcun will have no need to support them.

Moreover, the battle on the front line was in a bitter battle, with no progress being made for several days, and Gangcun was already riding a tiger with difficulty.

Even now that he has sent out the only reserve team he has, he still cannot shake the position of Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

"Play more with the little devils. Our militiamen have less chance to shoot. This battle is a practical training. In the future, we will expand the army. We will recruit soldiers from the militia and add them to the team. They have combat experience."

veteran."

Zhao Zhiguo was not in a hurry to eat up the Japanese cavalry and armored troops.

First of all, they have to fight hard. It’s not like they don’t have the strength. The rabbit will bite when it is anxious. The little devil who is in a desperate situation will definitely fight back with all his strength.

Secondly, the threat of Japanese air power.

If the Little Japanese cavalry and armored troops are surrounded, the battlefield will be fixed, and the Little Japanese planes will come to support at any time, dropping bombs and killing the effective forces of Zhao Zhiguo and his troops.

In this case, Zhao Zhiguo was trapped but not surrounded by the Japs. There were only minefields nearby and no Chinese troops. Even if the Japs' bombers arrived with support, they would have no target to bomb and could only return in despair.

In the end, wasn't Gangcun eager for a quick victory? Zhao Zhiguo would not let Gangcun get his wish.

If it takes one day, the Japanese army will have to transport a day's worth of supplies to the front line.

Send supplies from the rear to the front line, and ambushes can be set up at any time along the long supply line.

Even if the Japanese military supplies cannot be captured and the Japanese military supplies are blown up, leaving the Japanese troops on the front line with no food to eat and no ammunition to use, Gangcun is more anxious than anyone else.

"It's a pity that our special team will be on the bench for this battle." Yao Pengju said with some regret.

This defensive battle was large-scale, from Pingcheng to Jinyang, but there were no dangers!

The most dangerous Japanese army no longer poses a threat to them. The remaining Japanese infantry can at most put some pressure on them without causing their defense line to collapse. After all, the reserves left by each regiment have not yet been used.

Seeing that the battle situation was developing in a better direction, Yao Pengju knew that the chances of his special team participating in the battle were getting slimmer and slimmer.

"This battle has nothing to do with you. There is still another battle to be fought in Bingzhou," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The little devils are still sending troops to China. If their homeland is still there, they will never be short of wars.

"After this battle is over, can we think about the future development direction of our army?"

"It's far from it," Zhao Zhiguo said. "The loss of these troops means that the Japanese army is not so active in attack. Their defense is still more than enough."

The overall strength of the Japanese army will not cause a major earthquake just because tens of thousands of troops were killed.

In order for the Japanese army to truly collapse, they must annihilate hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops at once. Only in this way will the Japanese army realize the seriousness of the problem.

Killing tens of thousands of Japanese troops time and time again was like boiling a frog in warm water, feeling no pain.

"Do you know what methods Gangcun is good at defending? Trenches, gun towers and barbed wire, dividing each part of the land into several areas according to railway lines and highway lines, and using trucks, motorcycles and armored vehicles to patrol the roads."

Gangcun is the chief culprit in building the cage, and then implements the policy of terror in the "cage".

"Commander, are those strongholds and gun towers outside Heyun County related to Gangcun?"

The last time they went to Heyun County to perform a mission, the bunkers and gun towers around Heyun County made up for it. The trenches around some gun towers were two and a half meters deep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Gangcun was just transferred to North China as commander, and before that, he didn't even know about a small county called Heyun."

Zhao Zhiguo denied Yao Pengju’s speculation.

Before Gangcun came to North China, it was impossible for him to come up with methods to target the anti-Japanese armed forces in North China.

"It's a pity that I don't know where the Japanese commander who advocated building these gun towers and bunkers has gone, otherwise he would have been kidnapped and questioned carefully."

Yao Pengju has always wondered in his heart that the Japanese commander in Heyun County could predict this day two or three years ago. This man is really extraordinary.

"It will be difficult to investigate this matter clearly for a while. If we want to destroy the Japanese gun towers and bunkers, we need more large-caliber artillery." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Since there are so many open firepower points around Heyun County, many bunkers must have been built as well.

Firepower points exposed on the surface can be destroyed with artillery, but these bunkers in the dark are deadly.

"Commander, do you want to send me to secure the city defense of Heyun County?" Yao Peng asked.

"Don't worry, the highway position is also a difficulty for us, not to mention that Bingzhou City has not been captured yet. We have to eat one bite at a time and do things step by step. Our most important thing at the moment is Bingzhou City."

By capturing Bingzhou City, Zhao Zhiguo and the others would have sufficient depth in their defense zone.

Even if the Japanese army gathers 200,000 troops to attack next time, even if they lose Pingcheng, they will still have a deep defense.

"I thought this war would be over in two or three years, but it seems it's not that easy."

"What? Are you tired?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"It's not that I'm tired, I just feel that the longer the war lasts, the greater our losses will be," Yao Pengju said.
