The Japanese army used troops in the south to force the Central Army to surrender.

If the little devil realizes this intention, it will be a disaster not only for China, but also for the entire Asia.

The Japs wanted to use troops in the south, and even Gangcun, who held great power, had to make concessions.

"As long as the Japanese army retreats, it will be a good thing for us!" Tian Kezhi said.

Since Gangcun commanded the Japanese army to invade the First Military Division in a large scale, the material problem has become the top problem for the First Military Division.

Since then, the arsenal has been producing in three shifts, with no rest for workers or machines.

Material consumption has reached the limit of military material consumption in the First Military Division.

Without Mr. Zhang's help, it is not certain who will own Area 5 now.

"Yes, the Japs have retreated, and the logistics troops should be the happiest." Matthew said.

The logistics team tried every means to raise supplies for the frontline operations, and even pawned their pants to replace bullets.

"The little Japs have withdrawn, but we can't let the little Japs idle."

"Yes, we can't let the little devils idle. The Japanese army will definitely use the supplies first for the troops fighting in the south. How many Japanese troops we can consume at this time will be how much advantage we take in future battles."

It is particularly important to consume the effective strength of the Japanese army, especially the Japanese veterans.

It can be seen from these battles that after the Japanese frontline troops received a large number of new soldiers, their combat effectiveness was greatly affected.

Especially when attacking, the Japanese recruits looked like they were dumbfounded on the battlefield.

"We don't have enough supplies to fight a big war, but we can launch small-scale raids," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Next, Zhao Zhiguo has two goals: to eat up the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Heyun County area.

There are many blockhouses near Heyun County. There are more blockhouses around this county alone than Zhao Zhiguo has ever seen in his life.

The second goal was to form a capable team in the mountainous area of ​​northern Henan to contain Gangcun from the rear and side, cooperate with the main force of the First Army Division to advance eastward, and cut off the Japanese army's north-south land transportation lines.

The First Army Division ordered the redeployment of the first line of defense while arranging various troops to attack in small groups, leaving the Japanese troops deployed with no peace.

Gangcun originally thought that his concession would bring a period of stability to both parties.

What he didn't expect was that just two days after the Japanese troops retreated from the front line, a gun building in Heyun County was attacked.

Although it was the outermost blockhouse, Gangcun understood that everything had just begun.

Gangcun would not allow Zhao Zhiguo to live in peace. Similarly, once the Japanese army retreated, Zhao Zhiguo would not let Gangcun live in peace.

"The artillery tower that was attacked was too close to the highway position. Even if our reinforcements rush there, they are very likely to be ambushed by Zhao Zhiguo."

The Japanese military officer reported to Gangcun in detail the process of the attack on the artillery building and analyzed the possibilities.

There are too many artillery towers and strongholds in Heyun County, the purpose is to restrict Zhao Zhiguo's troops from expanding eastward.

Too many turrets and strongholds are not necessarily a good thing, as they will limit the mobility and flexibility of the troops.

Zhao Zhiguo's troops have rocket launchers, heavy artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, which are more than enough to deal with gun towers and strongholds.

"Zhao Zhiguo is testing our defense capabilities. As long as he tests clearly, he will definitely launch a fierce attack on us."

There are already hundreds of thousands of troops in the First Military Division, so why can Zhao Zhiguo just be content with making small fuss?

"The guerrillas have reappeared behind enemy lines, and Zhao Zhiguo is pressing harder. I'm afraid our next situation will not be good." Gangcun was worried.

"Zhao Zhiguo is good at fighting unexpected battles, but he dare not send out all his troops to attack us."

A large number of troops are also needed within the First Military Division to maintain local stability.

If Zhao Zhiguo used all his troops to attack the Japanese army, the Japanese army could send a cavalry to capture Pingcheng.

"It would be great if we had the ability to directly destroy Zhao Zhiguo's headquarters." Gangcun never wanted to kill Zhao Zhiguo directly.

Gangcun gave orders to the scouts who had sneaked into the First Military Division to develop and grow as quickly as possible and bribe the internal personnel of the First Military Division to obtain Zhao Zhiguo's position.

When the number of open battles decreases, it is the time when the two sides compete secretly.

Zhao Zhiguo also wanted to find out how many gas bombs Gangcun transported into Heyun County last time.

The Japanese army had already used poison gas bombs twice, both of which caused considerable casualties to Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

After the two incidents, did the Japanese army still have poison gas bombs in reserve in Heyun County?

Without knowing whether there are poison gas bombs in Heyun County, Zhao Zhiguo and others would not dare to attack Heyun County easily even if they had a very good opportunity.

If the Japanese army were forced to jump over the wall and release poison gas bombs directly in Heyun County, Heyun County would become a dead city.

However, the Japanese army kept the poison gas bombs secret very strictly.

When Qin Weitong and others were in Heyun County, all they came into contact with were puppet army officers.

These puppet troops only followed orders and did not participate in any planning operations.

In other words, whatever the little devil says, they just do it.

Puppet soldiers without any decision-making power, they are just gatekeepers for the little devils, just like an owner will not tell his dog the most confidential valuables in his home.

Trying to get news about poison gas bombs from the puppet troops seems to be a wishful thinking.

However, Heyun County is not a big city. In just one county, there are not many places to hide supplies.

"Old Yao, based on your many years of experience living in Heyun County, where do you think the Japs would hide the gas bombs?"

Yao Pengju has lived in Heyun County for many years and knows Heyun County better than Zhao Zhiguo and others.

"It's hard to say!" Yao Pengju shook his head, "I heard that many houses in Heyun County were demolished directly by the little devils."

The Japanese army not only carried out large-scale construction projects outside Heyun County, building gun towers and strongholds.

Inside Heyun County, the Japanese army did not let go either. Many private houses and land were seized by the Japanese army and transformed into military camps and warehouses.

Later, the little devil gradually understood that Heyun County would become a frontier county to deal with Zhao Zhiguo.

In order to ensure that Heyun County could match its military value, the Japanese troops stationed in Heyun County began to transform Heyun County.

From the outside to the inside, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Zhao Zhiguo and the others were aware of the external situation, which was that blockhouses were springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

The inside is exactly the opposite of the outside.

The Japs are developing upward outside Heyun County, while the Japanese troops are developing downward inside Heyun County.

There are two main reasons. First, Heyun County is not large internally and cannot meet the needs of the Japanese army's development.

Second, Zhao Zhiguo's troops once attacked the warehouse in Heyun County, causing considerable losses to the Japanese army.

In order to make Heyun County have sufficient material reserve capacity and make it relatively safer, the Japanese army believed that building underground fortifications could not only provide defense but also protect the safety of the reserve materials.
