Chapter 2121 The Difficulties of Gang Village
Yao Pengju stayed in the headquarters all the time, not thinking about using public services for personal gain.
It's not a big mistake for him to pretend to be a public servant, but he just wanted to find an opportunity to see and talk to Gu Ning'er.
As we all know, Yao Pengju's educational level is limited.
He couldn't write any elegant love letters. Every time he wrote to Gu Ning'er, he just said two sentences, "I miss you, I miss you so much."
Sometimes, Zhao Zhiguo and Tian Kezhi would secretly read the letters written by Yao Pengju to Gu Ning'er.
It was these two sentences every time, and Zhao Zhiguo never read it again, but Tian Kezhi still enjoyed it.
"Stay away from me, are you tired of it? You have this ability to act coquettishly. Go to your uncle and ask Gu Ning'er to marry you as soon as possible. As long as you two get married, I can grant you leave once a month.
Let the two of you meet."
Zhao Zhiguo changed his position and sat next to Matthew Wen.
Yao Pengju did not dare to make trouble against Ma Xiuwen, so he could only sit across from him and look at Zhao Zhiguo resentfully.
"If possible, we'd better let the Intelligence Department try to intercept it first. If the deciphering doesn't work, we can find someone to help." Matthew suggested.
The intelligence department at the Eighth Route Army headquarters has many telecommunications talents with outstanding abilities.
"Yes, yes!" Yao Pengju echoed.
"Old Yao, the intelligence department has radio stations and telephones. Just give them orders and make a phone call or send a telegram. You can't go to Pingcheng."
Yao Pengju glumly poured the water from the tea cup onto the table, and then wrote boringly on the table with his fingers.
"Commander, these pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks are now like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." Tian Kezhi said with a deliberate smile.
Zhao Zhiguo's attitude was firm: "If the officers of the First Military Division have a target, they will be like Yao Pengju and run to the target's house every day. Is this still an army?"
Tian Kezhi spread his hands and told Yao Pengju that he was powerless and could not help him.
"Old Zhao, is it true that the Japanese army is now unable to capture Area 5?" Matthew Wen changed the subject.
Obviously, he does not support Yao Pengju's actions. It is not that they are unkind, but that the battle in front of them has not yet concluded.
Yao Pengju is also an important military commander of the First Military Division.
The soldiers on the front line are fighting a war, but the officers in the headquarters are thinking about falling in love. This is unreasonable.
Zhao Zhiguo shook his head: "This old devil from Gangcun has one advantage, which is persistence."
If things are really as analyzed by Tian Kezhi, Gangcun will not give up area No. 5 easily.
At present, the Japanese army has only suffered relatively serious losses. They will definitely readjust their forces and replenish the lost weapons and ammunition.
"We have consumed so much of their troops, when will it end?"
Tian Kezhi also wanted to know how the battle in Area 5 would end.
Gangcun cannot have endless troops in its hands. If it continues to be used up like this, when the defenses in other places are weak, it will give other troops an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Why don't we give it a try and use troops from Area 5 to eliminate the Japanese threat to the highway position." Matthew suggested.
Area 5 has gradually stabilized in the past few days, and the Japanese artillery positions have been destroyed.
They seized the current opportunity and swept all the way from area No. 5 to the highway position, eradicating the Japanese deployments one by one. The Japanese army could no longer stand firm on Zhao Zhiguo's first line of defense.
On the first line of defense, the Japanese army is already a rock at the critical balance. As long as it retreats slightly, Gangcun's troops will return to their original place.
"I think so too, but hidden Japanese scouts may notice our actions." Zhao Zhiguo said.
Clearing out the Japanese troops cannot be completed in a day or two.
Within a few days, a large amount of supplies need to be transported to the front line.
Once the Japanese army restored their heavy artillery positions and the lurking scouts provided them with coordinates, they would once again destroy Zhao Zhiguo's already stretched supplies.
Without supplies, after the troops rushed forward, they could only use bayonets to fight the Japs with heavy firepower, resulting in too many casualties.
Zhao Zhiguo believes that the current war situation is relatively stable and they do not need to take such risks to fight.
Once the First Army Division makes a mistake in handling a certain node and the Japanese army seizes the opportunity, the current balance will be broken.
Gangcun is also a very capable Japanese commander. If he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely deal a fatal blow to the First Army Division.
"What we need now is to make progress step by step. The more stable we are now, the more anxious we should be about Gangcun." Zhao Zhiguo said.
The Japanese army deployed a large number of troops in the south, and the humid air in the south was full of the smell of gunpowder.
If a large-scale battle breaks out in the south and the battle drags on, the Japanese army will inevitably send more supplies and troops to the southern battlefield.
Thereby reducing the supply of materials and troops to Gangcun.
By that time, Gangcun would be unable to continue the attack, and Zhao Zhiguo would be able to counterattack.
"Let's find the scouts first and pick out the thorns on our feet so that we can take the next step." Matthew decided.
It's really uncomfortable over there in Gangcun.
After the artillery position was blown up, more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces were destroyed, leaving Gangcun in a hurry.
Originally, this was not something worth worrying about.
But the situation now is different.
The Japanese army transferred a large number of heavy artillery to the southern battlefield for use in attacking fortresses.
Gangcun contacted many colleagues, hoping that they could support some heavy artillery, but there was no reliable news.
In the end, Gangcun contacted Dongying Island. If heavy artillery was needed, it could only be shipped from the mainland and waited for delivery to the frontline positions, which could take as little as half a month or as much as a month.
This does not include being robbed by other troops along the way.
If the battle in the south goes unfavorably, the Japanese army will order to prepare more heavy artillery.
Whether the heavy artillery shipped from the mainland can be sent to the front line is still unknown.
"Can artillery with a caliber of less than 100 mm pose a threat to the positions in Area 5?" Gangcun asked his subordinates.
The issue of heavy artillery was far away, and Gangcun did not place any hope on it.
The officer beside him shook his head: "According to reports from the frontline troops, the thinnest part of the Chinese army's position has a layer of soil behind it of two meters, making it difficult for small-caliber artillery to exert its power."
On the position in Area 5, dig when you have time. Even if you encounter a solid layer of stone, the soldiers will find a way to dig out the stone.
The little devil's small-caliber artillery exploded on those stone layers, not even the skin could be blown off.
Gangcun raised his head and sighed: "It has been four days. Maybe Zhao Zhiguo is already thinking about how to fight back against us."
Gangcun was worried.
After playing against Zhao Zhiguo, he knew that Zhao Zhiguo was not a commander who played according to common sense.
If Zhao Zhiguo had the ability to counterattack, the Japanese troops on the front line would probably collapse at the first touch, and even the front line of Heyun County would fall into Zhao Zhiguo's hands.
"The commander of the commander, recently behind us, the guerrillas came out again." A officer reminded, "Last night, one of our strongholds was attacked, and two warriors and twenty -six emperors were killed."
