Last night, Matthew Wen barely slept. He kept thinking about whether to stop Zhao Zhiguo.

What should we do after stopping Zhao Zhiguo?

Are we allowed to allow others to falsely accuse the First Military Division? And then the First Military Division is forcibly charged with undermining the unified resistance war?

No one in China can afford to be accused of sabotaging the Anti-Japanese War. Even the boss of the Central Army has to find a high-sounding reason.

"Political Commissar, don't worry, after returning from Pingcheng, the First Military Division will still be the First Military Division, no different from when you were here," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

"Xiao Liu, protect our political commissar. Our political commissar is going on a date. If you succeed in cultivation, you can be regarded as one of the matchmakers." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Commander, I promise to take good care of the political commissar."

"Remember to bring good news back." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Matthew Wen and the others left, and Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju also left the headquarters and handed over the affairs of the headquarters to Tian Kezhi.

Tian Kezhi did not know Zhao Zhiguo's plan.

In order to reduce the impact, Zhao Zhiguo only told Yao Pengju and Gao Cang about his plan.

In Heyun County, the three little Japs had taken a bath and put on clean Japanese military uniforms. Two soldiers were guarding them.

After Zhao Zhiguo arrived in Heyun County, the county was in full swing.

Yao Pengju's eyes were sore when he saw the current appearance of Heyun County. Heyun County, which was once his hometown, no longer looked like what Yao Pengju remembered.

"Commander, do you want to go in person?"

Gao Cang did not expect Zhao Zhiguo to come to Heyun County, but thought that Zhao Zhiguo would at most arrange for Yao Pengju to come over.

"People are ready?"

"It's ready, everything is done according to your request." Gao Cang said.

"Did you give them a bath and change their clothes?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"It's all been done."

The clothes of the Japanese prisoners of war who were working on the roadside were already in tatters, with their bellies and arms exposed.

If it weren't for the tattered military uniforms that could prove that they were Japanese prisoners of war, they would have been mistaken for beggars if they were thrown casually on the street.

"I'll take a look later, and you can leave the rest alone," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Commander!" Gao Cang also wanted to know what Zhao Zhiguo was going to do.

"Old Gao, you'd better stop asking. The better you know about this kind of thing, the safer it will be for you. The political commissar has been arranged by the commander to go to Pingcheng." Yao Pengju grabbed Gao Cang.

"Are things really that bad?" Gao Cang asked.

"It's not that bad." Yao Pengju smiled bitterly, "Send a liaison officer now to contact Brigadier Shi of the Huixian County Guard Brigade. We will give him a satisfactory answer tomorrow morning."

"Should we send more troops? There are only three battalions over there." Gao Cang was worried.

In fact, the strength of three battalions was enough, but when Zhao Zhiguo was going, Gao Cang thought that three battalions seemed far from enough.

"There is no need to send more troops. We are not going to fight. Everything will be handled in a low-key manner. The three Japanese soldiers will be treated as dead because of illness..." Yao Pengju told Gao Cang that confidentiality must be kept.

"Don't worry, I will arrange this kind of thing. With so many little Japanese prisoners of war, it is normal for them to become tired and sick while working." Gao Cang said.

In Heyun County, a large amount of construction waste was filled back into the ground, and then Japanese prisoners of war built new roads on the ground.

In the future, after the county is far away from the war, people will inevitably live here, so some military fortifications should be developed in a dual-use direction for both military and civilian purposes.

It is not easy to defend Heyun County. The surrounding fake anti-aircraft gun positions have been reconnoitered by the Japanese army many times.

After the Japanese bombers did not dare to come back easily, Takakura and others accelerated the construction.

But Gao Cang knew very well that if there was another battle, Heyun County would be turned into ruins.

"The Japanese bombers did not come, but the Japanese reconnaissance planes became more and more frequent. About three times a day, one of them kept an eye on the development of Heyun County."

"How is Cao Xinghua's secret service camp?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"The last time the spy battalion operated was in this area, about 60 kilometers northeast, we cooperated with the local guerrillas to dismantle two Japanese strongholds, killed more than 100 Japanese and puppet soldiers, and captured 50 puppet soldiers.

people."

After Cao Xinghua's spy battalion arrived in Heyun County, they began to fight behind enemy lines.

With the cooperation of local guerrillas, the operation went smoothly.

After helping the guerrillas remove the Japanese stronghold, the guerrillas will have a broader space for development.

The influence of the First Military Division behind enemy lines is growing, and the determination of the people behind enemy lines to resist Japan is getting stronger and stronger.

"Where is the Japanese defense?"

"The Japanese army concentrated its forces in towns and counties, and other major defenses were deployed along the Hutuo River. Our army was unable to cross the Hutuo River, and the situation east of the Hutuo River was unclear," Gao Cang said.

The farthest place they could detect was the Hutuo River.

Since Heyun County was controlled by Gao Cang and others, the Japanese army deployed a large number of troops wherever they could cross the Hutuo River.

There was not even a boat on the Hutuo River.

As for the west of the Hutuo River, the Japanese army concentrated its troops in towns in order to preserve its strength. Even in some important villages, there were no Japanese troops stationed and only a small number of puppet troops were active.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops would regularly come out from their strongholds in cities and towns to collect goods in the countryside.

As long as the village did not provide food for the Japanese and puppet troops in the towns, the Japanese army would gather troops and go to the village to kill people.

"Ignoring the Hutuo River issue for now, the Japanese war in the south will soon end, and then Gangcun will have the confidence to take action against us."

The Japanese army fought on multiple fronts, leaving them with insufficient troops and supplies.

But if the Japanese army only deployed troops and materials on one battlefield, they would still have a huge advantage.

"One more thing, if Heyun County cannot defend it, you can decide whether to retreat based on the situation." Zhao Zhiguo said to Gao Cang.

"Ah? Aren't we going to defend Heyun County?"

"Remember, the purpose of each of our defensive battles is to consume as much of the Japanese army's strength as possible. Heyun County is not suitable for defending. If we can recapture it once, we can recapture it a second time," Zhao Zhiguo said.

If this war is regarded as a business, soldiers are the capital. Only by killing more soldiers of the other side will they gain more advantages in this war.

"I understand! I will definitely deal with it as the opportunity arises." Gao Cang nodded.

"How is Commander Qi doing? Can he still adapt to being transferred from the rear to the front?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Gao Cang.

"It's like he's been injected with chicken blood, he's even more excited than me," Gao Cang said.

"Do you think it's possible for him to go further?"

It is Zhao Zhiguo's goal to turn the First Army Division into a field corps.

In the future, they will have tanks and armored groups and large-caliber artillery groups, which will form a huge advantage in firepower against the Japanese army in the wild.

The main force of the five brigades was obviously not enough to pose a huge threat to the Japanese army.
