"Don't make any assumptions. First, finish what I asked you to do. Remember, you must keep it a secret. I will go to Lu Zheng's regiment headquarters soon," Zhao Zhiguo said.

After hearing that Yao Pengju suspected Tang Xueyuan, Zhao Zhiguo was already restless. He would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

After Yao Pengju and Gu Ning'er left, Sun Siying returned to the room and silently packed Zhao Zhiguo's clothes.

Zhao Zhiguo stood at the door, looking at Sun Siying's lonely back, feeling even more guilty in his heart.

While Zhao Zhiguo was stunned, Sun Siying handed the clothes to Zhao Zhiguo: "It's cold at night, wear more clothes and don't get sick. Your soldiers are all rough and tough, they only know how to fight hard and don't know how to take care of others..."

Women seem to be born with nagging, but Zhao Zhiguo couldn't bear to let go of this nagging. He knew that someone was thinking about him.

When Zhao Zhiguo was taking the clothes, he hugged Sun Siying over and smelled her affectionately before she stopped nagging.

"You should also go to bed early. I will come see you after you finish your work."

With that said, Zhao Zhiguo took the clothes and turned around and left the house.

When we walked to the door, the two guards were still doing their duty, guarding the courtyard.

Zhao Zhiguo paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of what Yao Pengju said, is Tang Xueyuan reliable?

If Tang Xueyuan is no longer reliable, who else among the troops originally stationed in Pingcheng can be reliable?

Lu Zheng and his regiment withdrew to Pingcheng only after experiencing the battle in Area 5. The battle in Area 5 could also be regarded as the end of this battle with the Japanese army.

Zhao Zhiguo thought as he walked, if the matter covered the entire defense area, it meant that there was a huge chain of interests in the defense area of ​​the First Army Division, and it must have existed before this battle started.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to develop to such a large scale in just one month.

"I hope this happened only in Pingcheng, otherwise it would be too terrible."

Zhao Zhiguo felt a little scared that things could develop to such a large scale and they were still kept in the dark.

Lu Zheng was awakened by Yao Pengju. After learning what happened, Lu Zheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately arranged the troops to impose martial law on the regiment headquarters, and no one was allowed to come or go at will.

After sending the telegram, Yao Pengju and Lu Zheng sat there and stared, waiting for Zhao Zhiguo to arrive.

"Old Yao, you mean that it's possible that all the troops in Pingcheng have been bribed by them? It's unlikely, right?" Lu Zheng couldn't believe it.

In Pingcheng, there is a standing army, a special agent battalion, a reconnaissance battalion and a guard battalion, as well as various logistics agencies and guard troops attached to the logistics.

It seems unrealistic if many troops are bribed.

"Just buying the standing army, the spy battalion and the reconnaissance battalion are enough to control the situation in Pingcheng. They may not have thought that you, Lao Lu, would be transferred to Pingcheng to rest." Yao Pengju said.

Although the logistics organization and the attached guard troops have some combat effectiveness, they lack unified command.

If civil strife breaks out in Pingcheng, these security forces will at most be able to fight independently and cover the transfer of corresponding logistics agencies.

"We didn't find anything unusual after entering the city, right?"

Lu Zheng carefully recalled the day when he withdrew to Pingcheng. Nothing unusual seemed to have happened, and his regiment's entry into Pingcheng for rest went very smoothly.

"Maybe they didn't take you, Lao Lu, seriously!" Yao Pengju said.

For a main regiment with only one-third of its combat effectiveness left, even if new recruits are added, the combat effectiveness will not increase much.

"Huh? What do you mean, they think they have the ability to eat us? What are they dreaming about?" Lu Zheng said.

"How much food do you have in your hand? How much ammunition do you have? How long can it last?"

Lu Zheng and the others fought bloody battles with the Japanese troops in Area 5 for one day and one night. They lost not only their troops but also their ammunition.

"Ouch, I seem to have been tricked!"

At this time, Lu Zheng suddenly remembered something. After entering Pingcheng, he negotiated with the logistics staff many times to replenish their regiment's supplies.

The logistics staff didn't say they wouldn't give it, they just said that supplies were tight now and all the troops were in urgent need of supplies, so they could only limit supplies.

"Lao Lu, do you have a trustworthy brother by your side?" Yao Pengju asked.

"Every one of my brothers who retreated from the front line with me is worthy of trust."

Lu Zheng didn't dare to say anything else. One-third of his regiment's retreat from Position 5 were all his brothers, Lu Zheng's life and death.

"I'm worried that Teacher Sun's residence is being monitored, and the guard at the door may be someone they arranged," Yao Pengju said.

Yao Pengju did not dare to determine how many people the people in the dark had bribed and how powerful they were, but if they knew Sun Siying's identity, they would definitely use Sun Siying as a bargaining chip for blackmail.

If an accident really happens, as long as they control Sun Siying, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will definitely take action.

"I will send a platoon from my security company to go over now." Lu Zheng was also anxious.

If Sun Siying was abducted from Pingcheng by unknown persons, it would really be a slap in the face of the First Military Division of the Eighth Route Army.

"Also, at dawn tomorrow, arrange for someone to take this thing to the special forces station outside Pingcheng and ask them to send about a hundred people to secretly enter Pingcheng and stand by."

Yao Peng placed a piece of paper in his hand on the table. On the paper was drawn the emergency contact symbol of the special forces team.

"Is this possible? Won't someone in your special team be bribed?" Lu Zheng asked.

"The special forces are not in the same system as you. They want to bribe you, but they can't find a way." Yao Pengju said confidently.

The special forces station is not accessible to anyone who wants to.

In order to cope with emergencies, there will be a special force detachment near important areas, and the vicinity of Pingcheng is where the main force of the special force is located.

While Lu Zheng and Yao Pengju were discussing countermeasures, Zhao Zhiguo came to Lu Zheng's regiment headquarters.

"Hello, Commander!" Lu Zheng and Yao Pengju saluted immediately.

Zhao Zhiguo nodded, indicating that they don't need to be so polite, because they all understand that the next few days may not be easy.

"Did the political commissar and Team Leader Gu reply to the telegram?"

"The political commissar has sent a telegram. He asked whether we should send troops to attack the city secretly?" Lu Zheng replied.

"There is no need to send troops. The situation in Pingcheng has just stabilized. Sending more troops to Pingcheng at this time will only alert the enemy and aggravate the instability of the situation."

The blood and lives of countless officers and soldiers finally brought peace to Pingcheng. We can no longer use force easily.

"Tell the political commissar to keep all units on standby and not to move them without authorization." Zhao Zhiguo ordered, "Is there no news yet from Team Leader Gu?"

Yao Pengju shook his head. They first sent a telegram to Team Leader Gu, but they have not received a reply yet.

"Is it possible that something abnormal happened in Bingzhou City?" Zhao Zhiguo speculated.
