Years of war, devastated.

Some land has never been abandoned.

Even though the farmers were just hired farmers or tenants and had no land of their own, they had never let the land be deserted.

Through the countryside, the village still stands in the distance.

How many times have the homes been destroyed by war, and how many times have the people rebuilt their new homes on the burned land?

Nearby are fields full of crops and seedlings, fields that have never been deserted in the war.

"Looking forward to good weather this year."

Yao Pengju looked at the fields on the horse's back, and his gaze extended to the village in the distance.

The looming barking of dogs seemed to tell them that the village was not an abandoned village.

"Some people, if there are crops, everything will be fine." Zhao Zhiguo responded.

With Chinese people here, this land will always be Chinese people.

"After the war is over, I will find a village nearby to live in, plant a few acres of land, and raise a few pigs."

The tranquility and peace of the countryside make the war-torn people yearn for it.

This is just the life of ordinary people, but it is a luxury for war soldiers.

The war horses passed through the fields and rushed towards the unmoving highway position.

Zhao Zhiguo came to the highway position for two purposes: one is to visit and the other is to plan.

After this war ended here, Zhao Zhiguo has proved that they have the ability to defend the First Military Sub-district and the ability to win peace for some people.

Ordinary people in the defense zone can slowly forget the trauma left by war and live a peaceful life.

But as soldiers, they cannot let Nanshan go.

A country cannot defend peace by relying solely on defense.

If the First Military Sub-district wants to maintain this family business and give more long-term peace and stability to the people behind them, they must fight out.

"elder brother!"

Whether in private or formal occasions, Zhao Zhiguo would call him brother when he saw Zhao Ziming.

However, Zhao Ziming always looked like a rule in front of Zhao Zhiguo.

According to Zhao Ziming's words, the commander is the commander, and the commander should have the majesty of a commander in the army. This majesty cannot be violated by family affection.

Zhao Zhiguo's arrival made Zhao Ziming a little panicked because the Third Brigade did not receive any news from the headquarters, and Zhao Zhiguo came to the highway position.

"The Japanese army has withdrawn, I'll see my brothers!" Zhao Zhiguo had a smile on his face.

“Did the No. 5 win?”

The first thing Zhao Ziming asked about was war.

War is the most vigilant thing for their soldiers.

"It's not considered a loss!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

The battle in Area 5 is not a win either.

It’s just that they have no choice but to hold each other.

Gangcun does not want to invest excessive troops anymore, so as to prevent the Japanese army from not having enough troops to maintain stability in the defense zone.

"It's not about losing or winning. The Japanese army is much stronger than ours." Zhao Ziming said.

In an unequal war, the weak side does not lose, and can force the other side to reach the state before the war begins, which is to win.

“How is the situation with the highway position?”

Zhao Zhiguo was not confused about winning or losing. Whether this battle was a loss or a loss, his own future commented that he was just doing everything he could to reduce his losses.

"The Japanese left two small teams nearby, retreated during the day, and wandered at the exit of the highway position at night, like a lonely ghost."

"Two teams?"

"Yes, we tried to eat the Japanese troops of these two squads, but their noses were very good. When our troops were dispatched, they ran away without even firing their guns."

Before the Japanese army withdrew from the highway position, they left several observation posts in the mountains and two Japanese squads outside the mountains.

The Japanese were very smart. The large army withdrew, and the small army never dared to approach the highway position during the day.

They also knew that the troops of the First Military Sub-district were good at night attacks and were always able to bypass the sentries and patrols deployed by the Japanese army.

So the Japanese army arranged two small teams of troops and lurked near the exit of the highway position at night.

They did not harass nor did they fight. Their purpose was to stare at the defenders on the road positions and prevent them from entering the Japanese war zone at night to harass Heyun County.

"Can we beat them up and ambush?" Yao Pengju suggested.

Since two Japanese squads were wandering nearby, they could set up ambush nearby and there were always times when they encountered them.

Zhao Ziming glanced at Yao Pengju: "We are already setting up an ambush, and we are waiting for the result."

Naturally, they could not have allowed two Japanese squads to be so arrogant in front of the road positions.

"Brother, go to your command center to take a look." Zhao Zhiguo suggested.

These two Japanese squads can no longer pose any threat to the highway positions, and even if there is harassment, it will not cause any trouble.

Zhao Zhiguo believed that as long as Zhao Ziming was given enough time, he would definitely be able to deal with these two Japanese squads.

The fortifications of highway positions are still so complex, twists and turns, just like the history of China.

Zhao Ziming's command center is underground, there is no electricity here, and there are more horse lanterns in the dark corridor.

With the efforts of the engineers, the underground command of the Third Brigade was much spacious, and it was only able to accommodate a dozen officers at the deployment combat meeting and put on a few stools, and no one could turn around.

The damp, boring, and complicated smell are the environment that Zhao Zhiguo is very familiar with.

"Isn't it much better than when you were here before?" Zhao Ziming said.

"It's much better, but it's still bad."

Zhao Zhiguo recalled the past. In the corridor, at a low place, people had to squat and pass through to avoid a big bag from being touched by their heads.

"Among these brigades of the First Military Sub-district, our third brigade has the most abundant material reserves, and other troops envy us."

Zhao Ziming originally wanted to say that other troops might be blamed for being the commander and favoring his brother.

In fact, everyone knows that after a great battle, the first military sub-district's wealth has been consumed.

The amount of ammunition reserved by road positions is even several times more than the amount of ammunition added to the other brigades.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't care about such words, and the role played by the highway position in this battle is obvious to all.

"I heard that Gang Village plans to build Heyun County like a road position," said Zhao Zhiguo.

“I heard they wanted to do this in Area 5?”

It doesn't matter whether Gangcun is a master of plagiarism, but if the Japanese army wants to build underground fortifications, their craftsmanship is definitely better than Zhao Zhiguo.

Because the Japanese army had professional civil engineering personnel, they would make more reasonable compositions and deploy firepower in a more tricky position.

"If Area 5 was not seized by Lu Zheng, the defense capabilities of Area 5 would probably be no worse than those of the highway position." Zhao Zhiguo was worried.

Area No. 5 is no longer in the hands of the Japanese army, so there is no need to worry about how Area No. 5 is going.

But Heyun County is still in the hands of the Japanese army, so the Japanese can transform it as they want.

"Commander, please give orders."

Zhao Ziming naturally knew what Zhao Zhiguo wanted to do.
