Zhao Zhiguo touched his chin and thought seriously.

The Japanese artillery towers and strongholds were stationed by most of the puppet troops and a small number of Japanese troops.

In other places, the ratio of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in gun towers is generally about one to five and one to six.

In other words, a squad of puppet troops and two Japanese soldiers were stationed in the gun tower.

Two Japanese soldiers mainly played the role of supervising the battle.

Within the stronghold, the number of Japanese troops stationed was usually about ten, while the number of puppet troops stationed was usually between a platoon and a company.

As the Japanese army mobilized its troops to fight in the south.

The Japanese army mobilized many puppet troops to make up for the lack of troops.

In the artillery towers outside Heyun County, the Japanese and puppet troops garrisoned at a strength close to one to ten.

In other words, a gun tower may be stationed with two squads of puppet troops and two Japanese troops.

Gangcun may have believed that increasing the number of puppet troops would strengthen the combat effectiveness of the artillery tower.

The puppet army is a strange species. They do not necessarily follow whoever gives them food.

The puppet soldiers have no faith, no feelings of family and country, and they cannot tell who they are fighting for.

"Commander? Commander?" Yao Pengju called Zhao Zhiguo continuously.

Zhao Zhiguo had just fallen into deep thought and only woke up when Yao Pengju shouted.

"Commander, what solution did you come up with?" Yao Pengju asked.

"Can we attack the puppet troops?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Yao Pengju.

Before the Japanese army sealed Heyun County tightly, Qin Weitong and his gang's anti-rape operations in Heyun County made those who worked for the Japs panic.

Some puppet troops have decided not to serve the Japanese army anymore, and are even willing to facilitate Qin Weitong and others in certain matters.

"If the puppet army rebels and surrenders, Gangcun will probably redeploy its troops," Yao Pengju said.

The puppet army rebelled, and the gun towers and strongholds were ineffective and were handed over to Zhao Zhiguo. Gangcun would definitely not let this happen again.

Although Yao Pengju didn't know what method Gangcun would use, when Zhao Zhiguo and others attacked the main body of Heyun County, they would not be able to make use of the puppet troops in the city.

Qin Weitong made good friends with some puppet army officers, but only within the city.

The inner city is the most difficult place to attack Heyun County, and it requires the assistance of the puppet army.

If the puppet army is used too early, the Japanese army will replace the puppet army officers at any time, and the officers who lose their real power will not be able to play a role when the troops of the First Army Division attack Heyun County.

"The turret needs supplies, right?"

The Japanese army increased the number of puppet troops in the artillery building, which meant that a Japanese artillery building required more supplies.

The puppet army cannot live without food, and the Japanese army cannot live without food.

Once the supply of supplies is insufficient, the little devils will inevitably squeeze the puppet army's rations due to their superior attitude.

At the beginning, when they were still hungry, the puppet soldiers might still swallow their anger.

But the puppet army began to starve, but the Japanese army was still able to drink and eat well. When they called the puppet army "Baga", how could the puppet army endure it?

The clay figurine has a bad temper, let alone the puppet soldiers with guns in their hands.

Even the puppet soldiers who are used to being submissive will fight against the little devils under continuous oppression.

"Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance?" Yao Pengju said.

As long as the relationship between the little Japanese and the puppet army becomes oppressive and oppressed, even if they do not use the puppet army, the puppet army will force itself to fight with the little Japanese.

"Then we will release the news that we are willing to accept surrender and give equal treatment to the puppet troops," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Let the puppet officers and soldiers in the gun towers and strongholds know that Zhao Zhiguo can give them food and dignity.

The Japs are squeezing whatever the First Military Division can give to the puppet troops. Zhao Zhiguo does not believe that the puppet troops will remain indifferent.

"But how to prevent the Japanese army's supplies from being sent into the artillery tower?" Yao Peng asked.

There are Japanese artillery towers and strongholds within a few dozen miles of the artillery towers. Guarding the main road, the Japanese army's supplies can reach every stronghold and artillery tower unimpeded.

Although there are trenches around the gun tower, there is only a suspension bridge leading to the outside world. Even if the suspension bridge is destroyed, the Japanese and puppet troops can still use ladders and boards to pass through the trench.

"Set up a lurking post around the gun tower and make it concealed enough!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Zhao Zhiguo believed that with the camouflage ability of their soldiers, lying down a hundred meters away from the gun tower, the Japanese and puppet troops in the gun tower would definitely not be able to find them.

"The lurking soldiers carry binoculars and radios to guide the mortar team to the target."

Several movable mortar groups can be set up, each with two mortars.

When you see a team delivering supplies to the gun tower, call in mortar fire to cover them and destroy the supplies.

"What should I do if they deliver supplies at night?" Yao Pengju asked.

The lurking post can provide coordinates for the mortar team during the day, but at night, with no lights on and nothing visible, the mortar becomes blind.

"At night, our troops can pretend to attack the artillery building and cover the mine-laying team to lay mines on the only way to the artillery building," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Mortar shells were not enough to cause a devastating blow to the Japanese artillery towers, but the people outside the bunker could not withstand a mortar shell.

Yao Pengju nodded: "Whether it works or not, we will know if we try it. Anyway, there won't be too much loss."

This method is simple, but takes time.

Moreover, this action plan can reduce casualties. The mortars will leave immediately after firing. The Japs' heavy artillery will not have time to lock the position, and their mortars can be withdrawn.

Zhao Ziming did not expect that Zhao Zhiguo was staying at the headquarters, but he had been thinking of ways for the third brigade to attack the gun tower.

When the communications corps presented the headquarters' plan to Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Ziming decided to give it a try.

No matter whether the plan can successfully break up the relationship between the Japanese army and the puppet army in the artillery building in the end, it is still better than them staring at each other here.

Zhao Ziming immediately set up a mortar team, with a total of twelve mortars divided into six teams.

Taking advantage of the darkness, two soldiers lurked within a hundred meters of the Japanese artillery tower and prepared disguises.

After daybreak, the lurking sentry used his binoculars to clearly see puppet troops standing guard at the intersection leading to and from the artillery tower.

There are also puppet soldiers blocking the road closest to the gun tower.

Although there were no pedestrians on the road, the puppet soldiers still performed their duties and pretended to be busy.

The war is imminent, and there are wild rumors in Heyun County and its surrounding areas that Zhao Zhiguo has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and will attack Heyun County at any time.

Although Heyun County does not have a population of hundreds of thousands, especially during the years of war, everyone who should have fled has fled, and the Japanese and puppet troops did not even have hundreds of thousands of people.

But many puppet troops still firmly believe that Zhao Zhiguo has hundreds of thousands of troops and will attack at any time.

The little Japanese soldiers stood at the top of the gun tower. They were not basking in the sun, but monitoring whether the puppet soldiers were conscientiously standing guard.

"Make a note of the coordinates first and report them to the mortar team so that when the Japanese supplies arrive, there will be no time to prepare."
