The battle in Heyun County is not over yet, but Zhao Zhiguo and the others are beginning to face a difficult problem after regaining Heyun County, which is how to deploy defenses in Heyun County.

There is no danger to defend, and the county town does not have complete city wall fortifications.

Of course Zhao Zhiguo and the others can build underground defenses, but their ability to transport troops is limited.

In other words, once it goes underground, when the Japanese army approaches Heyun County, the First Army Division cannot provide much support for Heyun County.

"Is it possible that we really want to give up the Heyun County town that we captured?" Yao Pengju asked.

They tried their best to recapture Heyun County but couldn't hold it. This is really very annoying.

"Perhaps...our troops can continue to advance eastward." Zhao Zhiguo suggested.

"Advance to the east? To the front line of Hutuo River? Will we advance too far and the troops will be too scattered?" Matthew asked.

When they attacked Heyun County, they did not place their strategic goals at such a long distance.

At this time, they rashly marched towards the front line of the Hutuo River. Not to mention the enemy's situation, even supplies were insufficient.

If they continue to advance eastward, they will need more troops and more supplies to make defensive deployments in more places.

"Looking at the 100-kilometer perimeter of Heyun County, only the highway positions and the front line of the Hutuo River are natural defense lines." Yao Pengju said.

"The only way is to transfer the people in Heyun County," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The people in the Heyun County area were transferred and Heyun County was arranged into a military combat area.

Defense fortifications were deployed in the city, and every private house was adjusted and built into a bunker. The houses on the ground were the same, and the houses on the ground were the same as the tunnels underground.

Then dig a few more tunnels leading to the outside of the city. If Heyun County cannot be defended, the troops can move from the tunnels to a safe area.

"The transfer and resettlement of tens of thousands of people is not an easy task," said Matthew Wen.

The people in the city are engaged in very complex occupations, including farmers, merchants, ordinary craftsmen, etc.

Farmers give them houses and land, and they may be able to survive.

However, some businessmen could barely support their families during the war by relying on the shops inherited from their families. They did not know how to farm or engage in other industries.

"Since we are moving, we will move all the things for them!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"A strong wall clears the country?" Yao Peng asked.

"It can also be said." Zhao Zhiguo said, "After the Japanese army's war in the south is over, Heyun County will inevitably become the place where the most intense conflict between our army and the Japanese army will take place."

Gangcun will not be reconciled to failure in Heyun County.

The Japanese army will definitely come back.

Moreover, the Japanese army will soon realize that only when North China is stabilized can the Japanese army continue to send troops and supplies to the southern battlefield.

The little devil will adjust the focus of operations from the southern battlefield to North China, and even take the elimination of Zhao Zhiguo's headquarters as the primary goal.

"Political Commissar, can you think of a way? What I want is for the whole family to move. Every stool and every chair must be moved." Zhao Zhiguo said, "If possible, we can use the trucks of the logistics force to help them move."

"Old Zhao, this is not a matter of relocation. How should the resettlement be carried out? Should they be dispersed and distributed to various towns? Or should they be resettled in a centralized manner? These are all issues that need to be considered."

It is impossible for the First Military Division to recreate a county out of thin air in a short period of time.

Even if we build another county town, where will it be built? How many people will be needed? Such a huge project is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it may not satisfy the people.

Once a civil uprising is triggered, the consequences will be disastrous.

Several years of war have brought people's livelihood to the brink of collapse.

After Heyun County was taken back, the first thing the local people thought about was to live a stable life instead of continuing to suffer.

"Then let's communicate with them and explain clearly the situation in Heyun County to them. The local people definitely don't want to live under the shadow of war all the time." Zhao Zhiguo said.

The shadow of war will always hang over Heyun County. No one wants to have a bomb suddenly dropped on their head just when they are planning to live a stable life.

"Do you really have to do this?" Matthew asked.

"It seems we have no better options, and if we don't do this, we won't be able to balance the advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield."

In areas where there is no danger to defend, the Japanese troops clearly have an advantage over the First Military Division.

In order to narrow the gap between the two sides, the buildings in Heyun County are naturally the best defenses.

"Okay, if there are difficulties, we will solve them. As a political commissar, I have the right to cooperate with the military operations of the army." Matthew gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a lot of determination.

Mobilizing the people will inevitably make them make sacrifices in some aspects, which is something Matthew Wen does not want to see.

Heyun County has truly become an uninhabited county, and the troops of the First Military Division can have a free rein in Heyun County.

Even when Heyun County was occupied by troops from the First Military Division, the Japanese army could not inquire about the military deployment in Heyun County.

At some point, the more mysterious the military deployment is, the more capable it is of deterring the enemy.

In Heyun County, although Jiang Zhongzhi was dead, the remaining Japanese troops were still resisting.

The Japanese troops were unable to communicate with each other, so the Japanese soldiers continued to perform their tasks according to the last orders they received.

When night fell, Gao Cang followed Liu Bang's example of besieging Xiang Yu in Gaixia, and began to use loudspeakers to broadcast the news of the death of Japanese commander Jiang Zhong Naoya in Heyun County.

"Jiang Zhongzhi has also been killed, and Commander Gangcun has withdrawn all reinforcements from the outside. You have no hope of winning this battle. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, the Chinese army will guarantee your life safety."

However, this kind of useless persuasion to surrender was insignificant to the Japanese soldiers who were determined to die in Heyun County.

Some Japanese soldiers even put their own face on it, thinking that the Chinese army could not defeat them, so they came up with these tactics to persuade them to surrender.

However, Gao Cang must still have some tricks up his sleeve. After persuading him to surrender, he started playing the song "Little Japanese Missing Home" on the loudspeaker.

Fighting in a foreign country and being away from your loved ones for many years may end up with no trace of your body left. No one will be sad if you miss your loved ones and think of your hometown.

After the song, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell into deep thought.

Especially in the dead of night, it is also the time when I miss my hometown the most.

Guns and guns are a physical attack, so a hometown song is naturally a spiritual supply.

"Deputy Commander Gao, where did you get this music from?" Qin Weitong asked.

After the troops were divided in Heyun County, Qin Weitong led a group of puppet army officers out of the city and met Gao Cang.

The puppet army officers naturally hoped that Qin Weitong would fulfill his promise and not pursue their past affairs.

After returning, Qin Weitong lived in the headquarters of Gao Cang. Listening to the babbling Japanese songs in the city made Qin Weitong feel a little irritable.
