Gangcun suddenly began to abandon some strongholds and gun towers, which made Zhao Zhiguo suspect that the Japanese army had laid a plan in Heyun County and was waiting for Zhao Zhiguo to come.

A crisis that cannot be solved with modern weapons really exists in Heyun County. How can it be solved?

Even if they have weapons beyond conventional warfare, is it possible that they still want to wipe Heyun County off the map?

What to do with the innocent people inside? Will they die with the Japanese army?

"Is there any cigarette?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Matthew Wen.

Matthew Wen shook his head.

Although the war made them very anxious, the two of them never liked to use cigarettes to resolve their anxiety.

"never mind!"

Zhao Zhiguo waved his hand, he was not a smoker either.

"I'll send a telegram to Gao Cang!" Matthew said.

If they can't come up with a solution, they can only report it to the headquarters.

"Political Commissar, do you think we can negotiate with Gangcun?"

If he could get a safe Heyun County, Zhao Zhiguo would be willing to pay some price.

"Negotiation? What to talk about? What price can we afford? We don't know what price Gangcun wants?" Matthew asked.

These little devils can do all the tricks before the negotiation, the lion's mouth during the negotiation, and the changes after the negotiation.

When negotiating with the Japs, only if the First Military Division has the absolute initiative and absolute advantage, overwhelming the Japanese army, can Gangcun negotiate with them.

If Gangcun really wanted to turn Heyun County into a dead city so that he and Zhao Zhiguo could die together, the conditions proposed by the Japanese army were definitely not something that the First Military Division could agree to.

Zhao Zhiguo was silent. What Matthew Wen said was correct. Gangcun wanted to use Heyun County to inflict heavy losses on the First Army Division in order to boost his reputation among the Japanese army.

"If you ask me, just kill that old boy from Gangcun..."

Yao Pengju suddenly raised his voice, but when Zhao Zhiguo stared at him, he suddenly lowered his head, and then quietly hid behind Matthew Wen.

Zhao Zhiguo knew what Yao Pengju was saying: "You are now the deputy chief of staff of the First Military Division, not the captain of the commando team!"

"Old Yao, change your impulsive temper. Every staff officer in our headquarters has been selected. They can't fight the kind of war you mentioned." Matthew said.

"The third brigade is already moving forward, but they still have to leave a regiment to guard the road position. Do they need to reinforce them or replace them with other troops?"

Yao Pengju quickly changed the topic, fearing that Zhao Zhiguo would beat him if he continued.

"That's right! This is what you should be thinking about."

Zhao Zhiguo was not only strict, but also encouraging.

Yao Pengju did a good job, and he never lacked praise. After all, they climbed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood together.

In the direction of the road position, there is only one regular brigade.

If a regiment leaves the fire support range of the road position and moves closer to Heyun County, it is likely that the Japanese army will cut off its retreat route by surprise.

As the third brigade pulled out the gun towers and strongholds one by one, the road position moved forward a very long distance.

The Japanese army has completely destroyed the villages in this area. The first time was to capture the young men, the second time was to massacre, the third time was to burn, and the fourth time was to kill again...

The village has been turned into ruins, and unburied corpses can still be seen in some corners. Ordinary people can no longer tell whether the corpses are male or female.

Zhao Ziming once sent three brigades of troops to nearby villages, and there were still people in one of the ten villages.

There were no more than five people who survived in someone's village, and among the five people there was someone who was tortured by the Japanese army and went crazy.

The little devils probably thought that madmen could not survive in this world, so they did not kill him.

As everyone knows, the little devil is the lunatic living in this world.

"Look at what the little devil has done!" Zhao Ziming pointed at the map.

The closer he got to Heyun County, the more Zhao Ziming felt that the little devil was a beast.

There were skeletonized bones hanging from the old locust trees in the village, and the bones of a woman who had been forced to lie on the millstone. The clothes on the side were almost weathered.

"Report to the brigade commander and send a telegram from the headquarters to stop our army from advancing any further. The first brigade will take over our army's next battle on the way." The signal corpsman reported.

One regiment of the third brigade is stationed at the road position, and the other regiment continues to go deep alone, and is likely to fall into a tight siege by the Japanese army.

"Lao Gao?"

When he heard that a brigade was coming, Zhao Ziming had a rare smile on his face.

They are all people who came down from the Great Wall together. They can support each other until today. They are not real brothers, but they are better than real brothers.

"Deputy Commander Gao has sent a telegram and he will arrive at the road position tomorrow morning," the communications soldier continued.

"Send the order and ask the soldiers of the Third Regiment to stand by and wait for the change of defense. By the way, let them notify the people in the villages along the way. If they are willing to take temporary refuge to the west of the highway position, we are very welcome. After we take Heyun County, we will

Give them a stable hometown." Zhao Ziming said.

"Brigadier, they didn't leave their hometown even in the most difficult time. At this time..."

"Let's do our best!" Zhao Ziming said, "Sooner or later this land will regain its vitality, as long as there is still a Chinese here!"

Even if this land falls apart, as long as there is one person alive, they can still make this land full of vitality with their hard-working hands.

Gao Cang and the guards arrived at the road position first on horseback.

He was familiar with this place. He and Zhao Zhiguo had guarded here together during the Jin-Sui Army.

"Lao Gao, he is so majestic. He has an Asian horse on his crotch and a German-made waist. He has a cigarette in his mouth and a riding crop in his hand. He looks like a big naked man!"

Among the hundreds of thousands of troops in the First Army Division, only Zhao Ziming at the brigade commander level dared to tease Gao Cang like this.

"Brother Zhao, please stop making fun of me." Gao Cang said, "The main force will not arrive until tonight. I will come over first to check on the situation."

"How long have we not seen each other?" Zhao Ziming asked.

"Well... it's been a long time. Since the division of troops, you, me, Qin Dongsheng and the commander have seen each other less and less."

The defense area is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more troops, their time is getting less and less, and the number of meetings is getting less and less.

"Okay, don't sigh, I've prepared the map for you."

Zhao Ziming brought Gao Cang to the map.

Gao Cang rushed to the road position in advance in order to learn more about the specific situation of their next combat area from Zhao Ziming.

"Brother Zhao, you still understand me." Gao Cang said, "Brother Zhao, you are a good person and will do it to the end. How about arranging a few people who are familiar with the situation for me? Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you after I use it."

"Everyone is ready, you don't have to worry." Zhao Ziming said, "You have also seen the map. The red circles and crosses are all uninhabited villages."

"So many? Didn't I see the one without a cross number?"

Takakura glanced at the map. The densely packed maps on the map were red circles.

A staff member came to the map and gave Takakura a magnifying glass.
